Woolies! It always just makes me feel safer wearing wool.
What do you guys wear for your standard outer pants for October and November hunting?
If they are water-resistant, do you still carry a separate rain layer?
Do they keep you warm over a single base layer like the First Lite base layer?
Woolies! It always just makes me feel safer wearing wool.
Can't spell scum without U&M... Go 'Cats!
This year I wore Core4 Element pants, they are a little heavier weight and have a DWR treating on them that shed the water pretty good. In November when walking through knee deep snow all day they did get a little wet inside, but nothing a gaiter would not fix. I wore a base layer underneath and I didn't get cold or to hot in them.
Shoot STR8
I ran the Kuiu Attacks all November. I ran a base layer, light fleece, and the Attacks. I really like them.
I may try the Kuiu Guides this next winter though, for colder temps.

Fight the law in one of our Convict costumes. You can be the bad guy in black and white stripes or the bad girl in orange. Of course you're a law abiding citizen who would never commit a crime, but dressing up for a costume or Halloween party means you can role play a little and be something you're not. Besides, even though you're the criminal, you're still setting a good example. After all, you're a convict and that means you were caught.
Be an old fashion inmate with classic black and white horizontal stripes. Wear some prop shackles or even a ball on a chain attached to your ankle. You'll look like a convict from 100 years ago. Carry a toy sledge hammer to be someone on a chain gang. Inmates these days wear orange, and we have plenty of costumes like that. There are one piece jumpsuits and some with a top and pants. Many have stenciling on them like the real thing, although there are humorous variations if you're not the serious type. There are cuffs and shackles and you could even wear a Hannibal Lecter style face mask for a really freaky look.
Convict costumes inspire a natural couple's set. One person can dress like an inmate and the other like a police officer. There are all kinds of law enforcement officer costumes to choose from, including bounty hunter outfits, police or SWAT uniforms, or plainclothes detective accessories. You can be on the run or recently caught.

Ever heard of "Does My Blog Look Good in This"? According to its founder, Andrew of Spittoon Extra, DMBLGIT is "a monthly food photography event, called by some as the grandest food porn event available on the web.", where "Food bloggers submit their best photos from posts they completed during the previous month which are then judged and scored. Winners are made covering three categories (edibility, aesthetics, and originality) plus three overall winners." Each monthly contest is hosted by a different food blogger.
April's DMBLGIT was hosted by Gine of I Dolci Fanno Felici, and guess what? I WON Overall First Place!!! I am absolutely giddy! I am also terribly flattered and honored. I've been submitting entries to this event every month for a year and this is the first time I've even placed.
So, are you ready to see my winning photo?
Are you sure?
Better go put on some sunglasses first, so as not to hurt your eyes looking at my dazzlingly brilliant, award-winning photo! I'll wait.
Okay. Ready now? Here it comes…….
It's my Pomegranate Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream!
And, not only did I get a much-appreciated ego boost……
I also get to show this super cool badge on my blog!
I want to thank Gine and all of this month's DMBLGIT judges from the bottom of my heart for acknowledging my work. You have no idea how much it means to me. I'd also like to congratulate all of the other winning photographers as well. Their work is outstanding! Please make sure you stop by Gine's site and see for yourself.
Ciao for now!
P.S. I hope you know I was kidding about the dazzlingly brilliant part! 😉

The African Union Advisory Board on Anti-corruption (AU-ABC) has expressed dismay over the continuing "rampant corruption" in the continent, blaming some leaders for abusing their offices and condoning the practice.
AU-ABC chairman Dr Edward Hoseah made the remarks here yesterday when addressing the Board's members who are in Arusha to prepare the annual report to be presented at the AU summit scheduled to take place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia next month.
Dr Hoseah said Africa has been losing billions of dollars through corruption annually, revealing: "On yearly basis Africa loses more than USD148 billion due to the practice, and perpetuators of corruption are taking the money from the continent to banks based in the developed world."
Citing the African Development Bank (AfDB) recent report, Dr Hosea said: "It is estimated that 50 per cent of tax revenue and USD30 billion in aid for Africa ended up in corruption. Today, the scenario has not changed as some African leaders have become "thieves in government houses, while petty corruption continues to ravage the continent."
The high-ranking official of the Africa's anti-corruption watchdog explained that there were mechanisms, which are in place to track the money from the banks in Switzerland and other countries and some of it be brought to Africa, the continent whose millions of its people are languishing in poverty.
"Despite the efforts taken by African governments and international organisations to scale down the magnitude of the problem, corruption remains a challenge that thwarts socio-economic development in the region," he said, adding: "It is time for the continent's strategic collaboration with all relevant stakeholders in addressing corruption, which has reached an unbearable proportion in many African countries."
He noted that working in isolation will not eliminate the practice, stressing: "We need to work as one team" to end the menace in the continent, which is endowed with a wide-range of natural resources."
Earlier, the UN Resident Coordinator, Alberic Kacou commended the AU efforts in fighting corruption through its various instruments and bodies including the African Court for Human Rights and the AU Convention for Preventing and Combating Corruption and related offences.
He stated that the fight against corruption is crucial to eradicating poverty, protecting Africa's natural resources and ensuring sustainable development on the continent.
Kacou however said that despite all the efforts to arrest the situation, corruption remains a major obstacle to sustained economic growth, social progress and political development in Africa.
"The impact of corruption on the investment climate, poverty reduction, public service delivery and social and economic development is profound…corruption is a costly vice. And corruption affects poor more.
"If Africa is to wrestle the evil of corruption and succeed, we must address the problem in a holistic and comprehensive way, and not to lose sight of the big interests, big money and vested social forces profiteering from it," he said.
The meeting which brought on board different expertise on anti-corruption and development partners is aimed at enriching members of the board in understanding contemporary dynamics of corrupt practices in Africa and chart ways of tackling the vice.

Hey just a simple post to the guys in charge
Mikasha is my favorite card in Alteil and I would like to see more support for her when you plan cards in the future. I'm really glad you made Hirumi what she is tho! Might need a little buff, but what an awesome auto skill
hmmm, ideas could be a unit that could freeze attack -> could be used for units like Mirelia, or even lycans... kinda like that new level 3 lycan that can stack it's atk, except you do that effect for friendly units.
another could be an endgame unit that is powered by the number of grims in your cemetary and removed area, so you don't get punished for using Mikasha and end up baning your entire file. This is where Mikasha file is weakest right now.
anyways, that's all. feel free to discuss.

This is a really nice light that lights up the bathroom well. It's simple but it has style and does the job. I would recommend it.
On May 03, 2013 by Georgia L. from Atlantic City, New Jersey (Customer)
I'm a little disappointed that the lighting isn't quite as smooth and seamless as it looks in the picture. You can definitely see the bulb a bit inside. It's ok though, overall, I really like these lights, and I'm quite happy with my purchase. Breathes new life into my bathroom, and that's what I was looking for.

A long-awaited healthcare reform measure included in the federal Affordable Care Act has been unveiled. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced the long-awaited rule, know as the "Sunshine Act," on Friday. The aim, essentially, is to disclose the financial relationship between drugmakers and doctors. A key advocate for this national measure has been Democratic Maine state legislator Sharon Treat, who's also executive director of the National Legislative Association on Prescription Drug Prices. Treat spoke with Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter.

|クニヒサ Kunihisa
|Naruto Episode #174
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Kunihisa (クニヒサ, Kunihisa) is a spoiled son of a rich jeweller Kunijirō.
Pre-Shippūden Arcs
He dreamt of becoming a ninja so his father went to his friend Tsunade looking for help. Tsunade directed Naruto to "play" ninja with Kunihisa. Kunihisa used what he called his "Money Release" ninjutsu, which was really only using fake hand signs, such as "alligator" or "bunny ears", and having his greedy bodyguards rush to his aid. Naruto soon grew tired of Kunihisa's spoiled attitude and the way he treated his bodyguards. Naruto argued that Kunihisa could not solve everything with money but the young boy would not listen. When two kidnappers named Shinayakana and Fukuyokana targeted Kunihisa, they used the money Kunihisa had wastefully tossed aside to buy his bodyguard's loyalty. Naruto managed to escape with Kunihisa and the boys faced a situation where Kunihisa had to overcome his fear. Naruto was in trouble, but Kunihisa overcame his fear and selfishness moved and saved him. While Naruto and Kunihisa evaded falling into the dark gorge, Shinayakana, Fukuyokana, and those they paid to help them weren't so lucky.
They then returned to Konohagakure with Kunihisa having a better attitude towards life. Kunihisa thanked Naruto and asked him to visit in the future.

Final installment of a four-part series
12 Years a Slave made five out of nine top-10 films of 2013 lists by movie critics, and Fruitvale Station made two such lists; these two movies featured Black males as leads. However, only two Black females — Halle Berry (The Call, Sony Pictures) and Paula Patton (Baggage Claim, Fox Searchlight) — were leads in movies released by major Hollywood studios in 2013. "Critics don't look at a film and notice that every one of the lead roles is White," Uptown Magazine Editor Ronda Racha Penrice said in an October CNN.com article. A UCLA Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies released the "Hollywood Diversity Brief" in October and it stated that there is "a dearth of gender, racial and ethnic diversity in film and television — both in front of and behind the camera."
Nicole Beharie (Sleepy Hollow) and Kerry Washington (Scandal) are the only Black female leads on prime time network television this season. "I'm 5'1 and an African American woman. I just didn't think anyone would have me to play the cop," said Beharie of her character in an Essence magazine interview. Continue Reading →

My oldest brother is here on a rare visit from HRM, which stands for Halifax Regional Municipality and should not be confused with HMP (Her Majestys Penitentiary).
Were ready to watch the first game of the Pittsburgh-Carolina series.
The ingredients for a great night of play-off hockey are in place.
The Blue Star is cold, honey-garlic wings are in the oven, and the Party Mix is in the bowl.
Disappointment strikes but before indulgence.
Ahhhhhhh...the beer is light!
OK, that wasnt the source of our dismay (although it would be if true).
No, were rotted because Sidney Crosby has been replaced by John Crosbie!
Yeah, thats fiction too, but imagine the post-game interview if JC missed an open net: I couldnt put the puck in the God damn water.
The actual factual source of our disappointment: the game is NOT on CBC.
Its my biggest beef with the national broadcaster since it canceled Seeing Things.
We learn the game is on TSN, a channel I havent included in my satellite package because sports highlight shows are as addictive as Mannas chicken breast sandwiches.
Having access to such programming will make me late for work and put people around me on ignore.
YOU DONT HAVE TSN? my brother asks in all-caps disgust and as if he is about to check into a hotel.
Not wanting to disappoint my guest, I flick through the channels and find no game on pay-per-view.
Everything else under the sun is available including a title or two that would fit on that Topsail Road sign but not Penguins-Hurricanes game.
Its almost 9 p.m., but I desperately call my satellite provider to see if its possible to add TSN ASAP.
The office is supposed to be open 24-7 (including weekends and holidays), but a recording says they are closed.
Pittsburgh and Carolina, complimented by beer, wings and assorted chips, is not looking good.
Neither is my brother, a big hockey fan and, like all Bluenosers, a lover of Sidney Crosby, who is much faster than the molasses of the same name.
In a last-ditch effort, I log on the satellite companys website to explore the options.
Changing programming is one of them.
Im expecting it will take days to do so, but the fine print says it will happen in anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours.
Doubtful, I add the sports package and drop some channels I dont watch.
Like The Comedy Network, for example. It has provided me with as many laughs as university calculus.
Surprisingly, about two minutes later, I have TSN and the game is on.
I marvel at the technology.
With a few key strokes, it seems I prompted a satellite miles above Earth, where James T. Kirk reads his captains log, to change what it beams into my set.
If I knew I had such command over an orbiting satellite, I might have tried using it for an even greater good, like rigging the numbers for Wednesday's $49 million lottery.
But I cant complain.
Thanks to the technology, I get to see the game, sip a cold one, and eat munchies with a contented brother I really dont see enough.
Thats close enough to hitting the jackpot for me.

22 U.S. Code § 2211 - Findings and policy
prev | next
Congress finds and declares the following:
(1) Access to financial services and the development of microenterprise are vital factors in the stable growth of developing countries and in the development of free, open, and equitable international economic systems.
(2) It is therefore in the best interest of the United States to facilitate access to financial services and assist the development of microenterprise in developing countries.
(3) Access to financial services and the development of microenterprises can be supported by programs providing credit, savings, training, technical assistance, business development services, and other financial services.
(4) Given the relatively high percentage of populations living in rural areas of developing countries, and the combined high incidence of poverty in rural areas and growing income inequality between rural and urban markets, microenterprise programs should target both rural and urban poor.
(5) Microenterprise programs have been successful and should continue to empower vulnerable women in the developing world. The Agency should work to ensure that recipients of microenterprise and microfinance development assistance under this subpart communicate and work with nongovernmental organizations and government organizations to identify and assist victims of trafficking as provided for in section 7104 (a)(1) of this title and women who are victims of or susceptible to other forms of exploitation and violence.
(6) Given that microenterprise programs have been successful in empowering disenfranchised groups such as women, microenterprise programs should also target populations disenfranchised due to race or ethnicity in countries where a strong relationship between poverty and race or ethnicity has been demonstrated, such as countries in Latin America.

Pub. L. 108–484, § 2,Dec. 23, 2004, 118 Stat. 3922, provided that: "Congress finds and declares the following:
"(1) Congress has demonstrated its support for microenterprise development assistance programs through the enactment of two comprehensive microenterprise laws:
"(A) The Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 (title I of Public Law 106–309; 114 Stat. 1082) [see Short Title of 2000 Amendments note set out under section 2151 of this title].
"(B) Public Law 108–31 [see Tables for classification] (an Act entitled 'An Act to amend the Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 and the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to increase assistance for the poorest people in developing countries under microenterprise assistance program under those Acts, and for other purposes', approved June 17, 2003).
"(2) The report on the effectiveness of the United States Agency for International Development's microfinance program, prepared by the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor, rated the Agency in the top tier of the 17 donors in this field.
"(3) The Comptroller General, in a report dated November 2003, found that the United States Agency for International Development has met some, but not all, of the key objectives of such microenterprise development assistance programs.
"(4) The Comptroller General's report found, among other things, the following:
"(A) Microenterprise development assistance generally can help alleviate some impacts of poverty, improve income levels and quality of life for borrowers and provide poor individuals, workers, and their families with an important coping mechanism.
"(B) Microenterprise development assistance programs of the United States Agency for International Development have encouraged women's participation in microfinance projects and, according to data of the Agency, women have comprised two-thirds or more of the micro-loan clients in Agency-funded microenterprise projects since 1997.
"(5)(A) The Comptroller General's report recommends that the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development review the Agency's 'microenterprise results reporting' system with the goal of ensuring that its annual reporting is complete and accurate.
"(B) Specifically, the Administrator should review and reconsider the methodologies used for the collection, analysis, and reporting of data on annual spending targets, outreach to the very poor, sustainability of microfinance institutions, and the contribution of Agency's funding to the institutions it supports."
Sense of Congress
Pub. L. 108–484, § 7,Dec. 23, 2004, 118 Stat. 3930, provided that: "It is the sense of Congress that, in carrying out title VI of chapter 2 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 [22 U.S.C. 2211 et seq.] (as added by section 3 of this Act and amended by sections 4 through 6 of this Act), the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development—
"(1) where applicable, should ensure that microenterprise development assistance provided under such title is matched by recipients with an equal amount of assistance from non-United States Government sources, including private donations, multilateral funding, commercial and concessional borrowing, savings, and program income;
"(2) should include in the report required by section 258 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 [22 U.S.C. 2214] (as added by section 6 of this Act) a description of all matching assistance (as described in paragraph (1)) provided for the prior year by recipients of microenterprise development assistance under such title;
"(3) should ensure that recipients of microenterprise development assistance under such title do not expend an unreasonably large percentage of such assistance on administrative costs;
"(4) should not use recipients of microenterprise development assistance under such title to carry out critical management functions of the Agency, including functions such as strategy development or overall management of programs in a country; and
"(5) should consult with the appropriate congressional committees with respect to the implementation of title VI of chapter 2 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act [Dec. 23, 2004]."
Pub. L. 108–484, § 9,Dec. 23, 2004, 118 Stat. 3931, provided that: "Any reference in a law, regulation, agreement, or other document of the United States to section 108, 131, or 132 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 [former 22 U.S.C. 2151f, 2152a, 2152b] shall be deemed to be a reference to subtitle B of title VI of chapter 2 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 [division B of this subpart], subtitle A of title VI of chapter 2 of part I of such Act [this division], or subtitle C of title VI of chapter 2 of part I of such Act [division C of this subpart], respectively."

You poison one little French farmer and all hell breaks loose. Giant chemical-maker Monsanto yesterday announced it plans to appeal a Monday ruling that one of its herbicides in 2004 poisoned French farmer Paul Francois, who says inhaling a Monsanto weedkiller led to "memory loss, headaches and stammering"(coincidentally, these are the same symptoms of the accidental hangover™).
In addition to the French farmer being pissed enough at the company for giving him a hangover when he was trying to work his farmland, there are about a million other people officially declaring themselves as against Monsanto via "Millions Against Monsanto," an organic consumers association that campaigns for "health, justice, sustainability, peace and democracy." If you accept the possibility of Monsanto obstructing even a majority of these five concepts, it's easy to believe the company has enemies from a lot of different backgrounds.
That's why Monday's ruling by a French court finding Monsanto legally responsible for poisoning Francois and ordering it to compensate him has enlivened a bunch of angry activists.
Millions Against
Monsanto offers a wealth of content documenting the agricultural
biotechnology corporation's government ties, tendencies to take
small dairies to court, refusal to compensate veterans for Agent
Orange and getting their nasty chemicals in normal people's water
supplies. (Wikipedia is hilariously filled with references to things like dumping toxic waste in the UK, Indonesian bribing convictions and fines for false advertising.) Even 'ol boy Obama has gotten caught up in the mix with
charts like this one circulating on Facebook:
The latest news out of Millions Against Monsanto is the moving forward of a California ballot initiative to require mandatory GMO labeling that polls show has 80 percent support. According to the site:
"A win for the California Initiative would be a huge blow to biotech and a huge victory for food activists. Monsanto and their minions have billions invested in GMOs and they are willing to spend millions to defeat this initiative. California is the 8th largest economy in the world. Labeling laws in CA will affect packaging and ingredient decisions nation-wide. The bill has been carefully written to ensure that it will not increase costs to consumers or producers."
Back in France, our
friendly farmer will have to wait a while for whatever compensation
poisoning amounts to, as Monsanto says it will appeal the ruling.
According to The Washington Post: Monsanto spokesman Tom Helscher
says the company does not think there is "sufficient data" to
demonstrate a link between the use of Lasso herbicide and the
symptoms Francois reported.
"We do not agree any injury was accidentally caused nor did the company intentionally permit injury," Helscher said. "Lasso herbicide was ... successfully used by farmers on millions of hectares around the world."
In a long-awaited decision, a federal appeals court today declared that California's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that a lower court judge correctly interpreted the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedents when he declared in 2010 that Proposition 8 was a violation of the civil rights of gay and lesbian people.
If you're one of those people who enjoys relaxing in a public park, maybe eating a sandwich and enjoying the lush greenspace Cincinnati has grown proud of, that's all well and good. (Bring a blanket and some apples; enjoy yourself.) That is, until you get a little sleepy and want to lie down on the ground or a bench — that's illegal now.
The Cincinnati Park Board yesterday approved a no-lying down rule across all of its 5,000 acres of park land, likely in response to ongoing Occupy Cincinnati lawsuits over the legality of closing the park at night. People who lie down in parks are now subject to $150 fines for the misdemeanor offense.
Ohio voter advocates say there was a big elephant in the room during the creation of Ohio's controversial redistricting map, and it was super tan and cried a lot. The Ohio Campaign for Accountable Redistricting says John Boehner was central in the process, working with map-making consultants and the National Republican Congressional Committee. Here's a link to the Ohio Redistricting Transparency Report. From The Enquirer:
"The report found: decisions were not made in public; public input was ignored; there was limited opportunity for the public to review proposed maps; the public was not provided with relevant data for proposed districts; nonpartisan redistricting criteria were not used; and the criteria used to evaluate plans were never publicly identified."
Despite the economic troubles affecting the state, Ohioans are smoking more than ever, according to a study that found the highest percentage point increase of any state. An official with the Ohio Department of Health attributes the increase to the stress people are under, though the Ohio General Assembly also cut funding to the state's smoking cessation help line, so there's that. Ohio ranked as the 36th healthiest state in 2011, down from 33 rd in 2010, while Indiana came in at 38th and Kentucky 43rd.
Occupy D.C. protesters built some type of structure in a park Saturday night, and police on Sunday notified them that they didn't have a permit and took it down, arresting dozens in the process. It was a pretty nice structure, though.
A new study has found high levels of arsenic in fruit juices that millions of kids are drinking because there's pictures of actual food on the label. Too bad government regulation is just a big waste of money that hurts the economy.
A full 10 percent of the juices tested by the magazine had arsenic levels higher than what is allowed in water by the Food and Drug Administration.
"What we're talking about here is not acute affects," Urvashi Rangan, director of safety and sustainability at Consumer Reports, told TODAY. "We're talking about chronic effects. We're talking about cancer risk. And so, the fact that 10 percent of our samples exceeded the drinking water standard underscores the need for a standard to be set in juices."
Consumer Reports tested 88 samples of apple and grape juices sold around the country. Included among those tested were popular juices like Minute Maid, Welch's and Tropicana.
Headline: "Stadium tax rebate favors wealthy." Analysis: "No shit." Owners of the county's most-expensive homes reportedly receive more savings from the property tax rollback than they pay in the sales tax increase that was supposed to pay for the sports stadiums. An Enquirer analysis of last year's property tax payout found that the half-cent sales tax increase amounts to a maximum of $192 annually, while some high-value homeowners received tax rebates of $1,175 or more.
• Million-dollar homes account for less than 1 percent of households, yet they received nearly 5 percent of the total rebates — or one out of every $20 paid out.
• One out of four homeowners - those with a home worth $200,000 or more - got $8.8 million in rebates - more than half the total rollback.
• The median Hamilton County homeowner with a property worth $106,700 is eligible to get a $50.15 rebate under the rollback.
• The 132 Hamilton County homeowners with houses worth $2.5 million or more get at least $1,175 apiece.
• Property owners with homes worth $150,000 or less account for nearly six out of 10 households, but collectively they received less than 23 percent of the benefits.
County commissioners have four days to tell the auditor to go ahead and tax homeowners at the previous rate, but Chris Monzel and Todd Portune are up for reelection this year and won't dare change take it away from the powerful rich people.
[Correction: Monzel is not up for reelection.]
Said former commissioner David Pepper:"At its core, the property tax rollback creates a reverse-Robin Hood scheme, where middle-class homeowners and renters are not only the ones paying for the stadium, but also footing the bill for a tax break for high-value property owners. Those high-end property owners are not paying for the stadium at all."
Some Ohio anti-abortion groups apparently didn't learn their lesson from Gov. John Kasich's SB 5 failure, as at least one has broken away from Ohio Right to Life for refusing to endorse HB 125, the "heartbeat bill." Ohio Right to Life believes HB 125 won't withstand a challenge under Roe v. Wade, but Warren County Right to Life wants to spend a lot of time and resources pursuing it anyway. Ohio Right to Life says a successful legal challenge could strengthen the women's choice side, but other groups are expected to join Warren County Right to Life anyway.
"It would be the height of irresponsibly to commit funds they knew were not there," Rhodes said. "I've long criticized various governments for living in dream world.
"This takes it to a whole new level," Rhodes said.

Introducing a new MSR column that will answer all your questions on returning to natural hair
In the Beginning there was a curl. I'm talking about our "Afro-textured hair," and make no mistake about it, we were all born with natural hair…sometimes called nappy, kinky, coily, curly and even straight with intent to curl. The "Bergamot grease blue or green jar" was a staple in our arsenal of natural hair care, especially when it was time for the young girls to hold down them ears and get their hair straightened with a hot comb. The straight hair style could last up to a week or more as long as you did not get your hair wet. It did not matter if you got burnt or your hair was smoking during the temporary straightening process. Continue Reading →

More road magic for GW?
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Winning on the road in the playoffs is one of the hardest things to do in West Virginia high school football.
Witness the remaining teams in the state semifinal round this weekend - with one exception, it's the top four seeds in all classes. The lone "long shot'' is merely No. 5 Morgantown in Class AAA.
It's no accident that so far through two rounds, home teams have won 32 of 36 postseason games. There's really no place like home for the playoffs.
That makes George Washington's task all that much tougher when it travels 51/2 hours to Martinsburg for a Class AAA semifinal showdown at 1:30 p.m. Friday.
The No. 2 Bulldogs (11-1) have won 43 in a row at their home base, Cobourn Field, which has artificial turf.
But the No. 3 Patriots (10-2) aren't rookies in this regard. They have a little experience in tackling tough playoff assignments on the road.
Last year, again as the No. 3 seed, they traveled to No. 2 Bridgeport in the semifinals and pulled out a memorable 21-14 victory to earn a spot in the Super Six finals in Wheeling.
GW's players and coaches expect to draw on that experience this week as they prepare for the long and winding road to the Eastern Panhandle.
"I'm hoping it helps,'' said GW coach Steve Edwards Jr. "Maybe a little bit with the mentality of how to prepare and what to expect.
"It's just part of the whole deal. Having the home field is definitely an advantage and that's why you play hard all through the season to earn it. Nothing's easy about going 51/2 hours, but it's something we've got to do the best we can with, and try to get the job done.''
Ryan Switzer, GW's Kennedy Award-winning tailback, thinks the comparison between going to Bridgeport and going to Martinsburg is a fair one.
"I think it helps a lot if you look back at it,'' he said, "especially a place with a nice field. Martinsburg has nice turf and I know me and our guys like to play on turf.
"You look back at last year and how we prepared, and try to do the same things this year. Especially since we've never been to Martinsburg before and they've got a good atmosphere. It's something to look forward to.''
Edwards said he selected the never-before-used 1:30 p.m. Friday kickoff slot because it fit the Patriots' schedule for the long trip.
"The time was available, and it works out good for us,'' Edwards said. "We don't have school either day [Thursday or Friday], so we can leave and stay one night. A 51/2-hour trip is awful expensive, and it's an awful long way.
"What we're doing is going up Thursday and stay the night and get up in the morning, eat and go play a ballgame. Then when it's over, we'll be able to get home at a decent hour. I don't know about other teams, but we don't want to turn this trip into a sight-seeing tour. It's a business trip. It's a trip to play football and get the job done. That's the way we're going to do it, and there's a lot less lag time. All the time has a purpose.''

- Abstract
- We discuss our recent observation of an atom-dimer Efimov resonance in an ultracold mixture of Cs atoms and Cs2 Feshbach molecules [Nature Phys. 5, 227 (2009)]. We review our experimental procedure and present additional data involving a non-universal g-wave dimer state, to contrast our previous results on the universal s-wave dimer. We resolve a seeming discrepancy when quantitatively comparing our experimental findings with theoretical results from effective field theory.

We're 4-5-1 against the spread this year.
My goodness... even if Isu offense was playing well, would bet easy money on KU. They are playing everyone well.
I think ISU wins this, but shocked the line came out that high. I would of guessed it would of been 3 or 4.
I expect a 4 point win. 8 would be a relative blowout for a Kansas game.
So we're all gonna bet our CyCash on KU to beat the spread right?
Looks like Vegas is playing the line early to ensure some beting on ku
I'll be putting money on Kansas. Kansas has only lost by more than 8 points 4 times this year. 3 of those times were away games. Their average margin of defeat at home is only 6.25 pts.
If we cover, we win. If Kansas covers, I win money. It's a win-win situation for me.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
Wow...-8 is too high! I see this dropping before kick off next Sat. I would guess -3 or -4 at Kick off.....Huge game here for the Cyclones!! let's get that 6th win!!,
8 points is to high? For a 5-5 team playing at a 1-8 team? I understand we've struggled some, but I'd say based on how each team has done this is a good spread. Did anyone truly think based on the records that we'd be the underdogs?
vegas trying to get some bets on ku covering

As close as you can get to homemade, our artisanal salsas are handcrafted in small batches for fresh, bright flavor and super-chunky texture. Great with tortilla chips, these salsas also complement grilled meat, seafood and vegetables.
Red Chile Mango: We start by pairing ripe Magdalena mangoes with a medley of red chilies, including ancho, New Mexico and morita. They're simmered with chunks of flame-roasted yellow peppers, tomatillos and onions, highlighted by a splash of tangy lime—plus blue agave nectar for a hint of delicate sweetness.
Roasted Tomato: We roast our ingredients over an open flame, pairing sweet, ripe tomatoes with smoky Anaheim and poblano chilies. To deepen their rich flavors, the chunks of roasted tomatoes and green chilies are slow-simmered with tangy key lime, garlic and herbs.
Corn, Serrano & Cactus: We bring on the spice with a trio of green chili peppers, including fiery serrano, bold jalapeño and mellow poblano. The chilies are simmered with flame-roasted corn, tomatoes and onions—plus chunks of pickled cactus. Garlic, lime and cilantro round out the blend with lively character.

At the Krusty Krab, Frankie is ordering food for Evelyn. He doesn't realize that Squidward was on his break and can't read his sign. Evelyn sees that he cannot read and reveals that she can't either so they comment that they were meant for each other. Learning that his books about love are only "torturing" him, the depressed Squidward throws away his book and impacted on evil widsom SpongeBob. Squidward explains that it was only hurting his feelings since he never had a real date. A cheerful SpongeBob says that even though he doesn't have any love he cannot stop trying.
Another customer came into the restaurant and admires the "decor" and Squidward believes that she was perfect since they have the same hobbies and things to like. She approaches the register and a nervous Squidward was unable to ask her out on a date alone. She leaves thinking there is no service. Just before she could leave the building, the boat containing the employees and register had a motor which SpongeBob used to catch Squilvia. SpongeBob tries to introduce Squidward and told her about how interesting his fellow friend could be which convinces Squilvia to go on a date. Squidward remembers his last date which was long ago and asks SpongeBob for help and replies by using a practice date for starting. As practice for the real date, he was tested at SpongeBob's House on complimenting about his date, giving flowers, driving to dinner and having dinner which all annoy him. He was driving in a circle from and to Spongebob's house (which would be where the restaurant is). At the "restaurant" (SpongeBob's roof), Patrick is serving plastic dinner which he literally took a bite on. When Squidward had enough, he left and shouted angrily over how it was pointless. He went down the stairs, and SpongeBob convinced Squidward to come back, but his shoe gets caught, causing him to fall down the stairs, revealing his true identity. Squilvia showed up and reveals that Squidward's true personality was better than what she expected. SpongeBob comments that his work was done only to find Patrick in drag demanding a movie and plastic popcorn.

Nabors Industries Ltd Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (NBR)
TheStreet) -- Nabors Industries (NYSE: NBR) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, increase in net income and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself and disappointing return on equity.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- NBR's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 2.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Energy Equipment & Services industry average. The net income increased by 1.9% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $75.01 million to $76.41 million.
- NBR's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.79 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Despite the fact that NBR's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 1.89 is high and demonstrates strong liquidity.
- The share price of NABORS INDUSTRIES LTD has not done very well: it is down 5.53% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. Looking ahead, other than the push or pull of the broad market, we do not see anything in the company's numbers that may help reverse the decline experienced over the past 12 months. Despite the past decline, the stock is still selling for more than most others in its industry.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Energy Equipment & Services industry and the overall market, NABORS INDUSTRIES LTD's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.

Fireclay Tile Neutralizes Annual Operational Emissions with Carbonfund.org
When Carbonfund.org Foundation was created ten years ago with the motto "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™", we knew we were positioning ourselves as the last-in-line solution in sustainability plans. The climate change education component to our mission is a very important one, and a significant portion of our website is dedicated to providing ways that businesses and individuals can reduce their carbon footprint before considering carbon offsetting strategies.
This approach has attracted businesses that take seriously their responsibility to seek out recycling, reuse, energy efficiency and emissions reduction opportunities. Fireclay Tile, a California-based sustainable tile manufacturer, is a great example.
"We are scavengers at heart and scrappy when it comes to saving resources; therefore we are committed to finding new and innovative ways to reuse cast off materials, and to incorporate sustainability into all levels of our manufacturing process, explains Eric Edelson, CEO of Fireclay Tile. "We chose to partner with Carbonfund.org simply because tile is heavy, and we wanted to offset the carbon footprint created by shipping our tile all over the world."
Fireclay Tile's Carbonfree® Business and Shipping program is a final step in the company's commitment to environmental sustainability. Fireclay uses Carbonfund.org's online business calculator to compute annual carbon emissions from office energy usage, business travel, and product shipping and delivery. The resulting offset donation supports forestry initiatives around the world that sequester carbon dioxide in formal third-party validated, verified and audited projects.
Fireclay's unique process includes made-to-order tile using recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing practices in their California operations. Their recycled clay body boasts of over 70% recycled materials, which include post-consumer glass, granite dust, and porcelain from toilets collected to back water conservation efforts in the Bay Area. Fireclay's glass tiles line is composed of 100% recycled glass from local window and solar panel production industries.
Fireclay maintains onsite recycling practices that include water reclamation at cutting and mixing stations, along with rainwater capture at their Aromas, CA factory. Glaze overspray is captured at each glazing station and is included with all scrap material and anything considered defective, then crushed into an aggregate for making the recycled clay. All orders are packaged for shipment using 100% recycled boxes, reused shipping crates, and sawdust from a local furniture manufacturer used to cushion shipments.
A fine example of "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™", Fireclay Tile is walking the walk, and Carbonfund.org is proud to assist in that last step.
Foster-Stephens Improves Environmental Sustainability of Wedding Gown and Heirlooms Preservation
Storing your wedding gown, vintage clothing, family heirlooms or military uniforms became more environmentally sustainable when Foster-Stephens joined the Carbonfree ® Business Partnership program last fall.
Foster-Stephens of Elk Grove Village, IL has been producing storage solutions including archival boxes, muslin garment bags and reusable/recyclable garment bags to preserve and protect wedding gowns and other family treasures since 1936. Their product line includes many styles and sizes of archival protection boxes and bags to anyone interested in preserving textiles and family heirlooms: dry cleaners, museums, designers, costume archivists, military personnel and individuals interested in preserving their heritage.
To improve their own operational sustainability and neutralize operational emissions, Foster-Stephens supports Carbonfund.org's reforestation projects around the world that help to sequester carbon dioxide and reduce carbon emissions. They also maintain recycling programs in their office and warehouse, and select products made from recyclable materials.
"We are proud of our ongoing efforts to reduce our carbon footprint," states Nancy L. Jones, President of Foster-Stephens. "Our partnership with Carbonfund.org allows us to maintain our commitment to providing the best products for protecting textiles for future generations while offsetting the carbon emissions required to provide these products."
Historical preservation is important, but it should be accomplished with minimal impact on our environment's future. Foster-Stephens is helping to achieve this goal by carefully selecting environmentally-responsible preservation packaging products and mitigating its own business emissions in partnership with Carbonfund.org.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is heading to the political battleground state of Iowa this week to prod Congress to act on his agenda.
The president will visit TPI Composites, a wind manufacturer in Newton, on Thursday to highlight his push for tax credits to encourage investments in clean energy technologies.
The trip is part of Obama's "to-do list" for Congress, which he says is necessary to make sure the economy doesn't lose steam.
The president's action plan centers on a series of economic initiatives he has been pushing for months. None have gained any traction in Congress.

The majority of hunting-related incidents involving treestands occur because a hunter either wasn't using a Fall Arrest System (FAS) / Full Body Harness (FBH) or used it in an unsafe manner. If every hunter wore a FAS/FBH and used it properly, the incident and injury rate would be reduced dramatically. The Fall Arrest System consists of a strap that is attached to the tree and a Full Body Harness that is worn by the hunter.
Vest-Type Harness
This is the safest, most reliable harness a hunter can use. It is very easy for any hunter to use - simply slip it on, adjust the straps and fasten the clips. Unlike the simple belt or chest harness, it is strapped around the shoulders, waist and legs so that in the event of a fall from a treestand, pressure is distributed across a larger area of the hunter's body, helping to ensure a quick recovery with less chance of injury.
Parachute or Full-Body Harness
This harness is just as safe and offers the same type of protection as the Vest-harness when used properly, however there are many straps and buckles involved. Always check and re-check your harness to ensure that it is properly secured, before you start climbing up into the treestand.
Remember! If you fall, practice your 3 R's - Rescue, Relief, Recover
Single strap harnesses should not be considered as a safe harness. These kind of harnesses cause severe restriction in the chest area, making it difficult to breathe or move. ALWAYS use a Full Body Harness when using a treestand!
Chest Harness
Chest harnesses are no longer the preferred harnesses either. These harnesses cause severe restriction in the chest area, making it difficult to breathe or move. ALWAYS use a Full Body Harness when using a treestand!

The way the FBI responded to Jill Kelley's complaint about receiving harassing emails, which ultimately unraveled or scarred the careers of ex-CIA Director David N. Petraeus and Marine Gen. John Allen, is the exception, not the rule.
The FBI commonly declines to pursue cyberstalking cases without compelling evidence of serious or imminent harm to an individual, victims of online harassment, advocacy groups and computer crime experts told The Associated Press.
But in the sensational episode that uncovered the spy chief's adulterous affair, the FBI's cyberdivision devoted months of tedious investigative work to uncover who had sent insulting and anonymous messages about Mrs. Kelley, the Florida socialite who was friendly with Mr. Petraeus and Gen. Allen — and friends with a veteran FBI counterterrorism agent in Tampa.
The bureau probably would have ignored Mrs. Kelley's complaint had it not been for information in the emails that indicated the sender was aware of the travel schedules of Mr. Petraeus and Gen. Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan. Instead, the FBI considered this from the earliest stages to be an exceptional case, and one so sensitive that FBI Director Robert Mueller and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. were kept notified of its progress.
How the FBI's investigation unfolded — especially its decision not to alert the White House, the director of national intelligence or Congress about its discovery of Mr. Petraeus' sexual affair until Election Day — is under scrutiny, especially because there is no indication so far that any criminal charges will be filed.
Mr. Mueller and his deputy, Sean Joyce, have met privately with lawmakers to defend how the inquiry was handled. Mr. Holder said on Thursday that law enforcement officials did not inform the president and Congress about the probe because it did not uncover any threat to national security.
President Obama said he was withholding judgment until he learns more. "You know, we don't have all the information yet," Mr. Obama said at a White House news conference. "But I want to say that I have a lot of confidence generally in the FBI." He added that it was "best right now for us to just see how this whole process is unfolding."
The FBI's cybersquads, like the one in Tampa that investigated the Petraeus case, are primarily focused on blocking criminals and terrorists from using the Internet to threaten national security or steal valuable information stored in government and corporate computers.
An AP review of court records found only nine cases over the past two years that identified cyberstalking or cyberharassment as the underlying crime in federal criminal complaints. In one recent case, a Michigan man was charged with cyberstalking after using the Internet and text messages to contact female victims, many of them minors, in an effort to obtain pornographic pictures. In another case, the FBI arrested a man for sending emails threatening to kill Los Angeles model Kourtney Reppert and her family.
"They turn people away all the time on the grounds that (cyberstalking) is a civil matter, not a criminal one," said Danielle Citron, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Law who studies cyberharassment issues.
In one such incident, a woman told the AP that her ex-boyfriend posted online an intimate video and nude photos of her with her name and email address, and she complained to the FBI. Speaking on condition of anonymity because she feared personal and professional repercussions, the woman said she had been deluged with offensive messages from strangers who viewed the photos and video. Her personal and professional reputation had been ruined. She changed her name.
The FBI's advice to her: hire a lawyer.
But the FBI considered Mrs. Kelley's complaint significant. And for good reason, said David Laufman, a former federal prosecutor who handled national security cases. "Most cases aren't going to get this level of attention or resources," he said. "But most cases don't involve the incumbent director of the CIA or the head of U.S. military forces in Afghanistan."
The first anonymous emails, which the FBI ultimately traced to Paula Broadwell, an Army reservist and Mr. Petraeus' biographer, were sent in May to Gen. Allen and several other generals warning them to stay away from Mrs. Kelley. The emails came from the pseudonym "Kelleypatrol" and included notes on Gen. Allen's plans to see Mrs. Kelley in Washington the following week. Concerned about how anyone else would know about his personal plans, Gen. Allen forwarded the emails to Mrs. Kelley to see whether she was playing a prank on them. Other generals also forwarded to Mrs. Kelley copies of emails they received.
In early June, Mrs. Kelley herself received the first of as many as five emails sent from different anonymous accounts alleging that she was up to no good. One of messages cited Mr. Petraeus by name and mentioned an upcoming social visit they had planned in Washington. The mysterious emails were sent to Mrs. Kelley's personal account and to a separate account she jointly monitored with her husband.
Mrs. Kelley contacted an FBI agent in Tampa she had met years earlier. The bureau believed the emails were serious because they suggested the mysterious sender knew about upcoming meetings of the CIA director and a Marine Corps general.
Agents examined the digital fingerprints that emails leave behind and eventually determined Mrs. Broadwell had sent the messages from an account set up with a fictitious name. As the agents looked further, they came across a private Gmail account that used an alias name. It turned out to be Mr. Petraeus'. The contents of several of the exchanges between Mr. Petraeus and Mrs. Broadwell indicated they were having an affair. A search of Mrs. Broadwell's computers also found classified documents.
