My LO is 10 weeks today and he still doesn't like toys. I'm not sure what all to do with him. I walk around with him, read to him, coo with him, and try to get him interested in a toy or two even if it's just his eyes following it, and I let him watch the fish in our aquarium. What else can I do?

Since the beginning of the sport, programs have been plagued year after year with the curse of coming up short late in the season. We've all seen it happen, and although it's hilarious when it's your rivals who fall, it can be extremely depressing when it's your own squad taking the hit.
This season is no different than all the ones that came before it, and as March Madness approaches, we take a look at the top five teams that are hurting their seed in the big dance with their late conference play.
Whether it is a sudden lack of production on the court, injuries or even stunning upsets at the hands of unranked squads, these five programs lit it up in the first half of the year only to now be threatening themselves with either a lower or even no seed in the NCAA tournament.

The issue of cleats aside, it was a low kick. We're talking energy translated straight from the hips, through the leg, and into somebody's ******* sternum. It translates to pain.

Cheap Art
Here's an interesting new project by the folks of Krrb: Cheap Art features local classifieds dedicated to buying and selling artwork priced under $1,000. The idea is based off the Bread and Puppet Cheap Art Manifesto. The folks behind Cheap Art believe art should be available to everyone, not just the privileged. The 'Cheap' in 'Cheap Art' is not meant to degrade the value of art but rather celebrate the everyday consumption of it. They believe walls don't need to be decorated with mass-produced prints from Ikea, but rather original works created by our neighbors. Check it out: buycheapart.com

Erie regional attractions get combined $323,406 in gaming funding
The Erie Zoo, Erie Art Museum and seven other regional attractions and agencies have received a financial boost.
The Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority board approved a collective $323,406 in funding for the nine groups at its meeting Thursday. The money represents six months of funding, and the groups will get another check in December, said Perry Wood, ECGRA's executive director.
The authority is moving toward funding the groups from a fiscal-year to a calendar-year schedule.
The nine groups are classified as lead assets by the authority, which administers grants from part of the estimated $12 million in annual gambling revenue that Erie County government gets from Presque Isle Downs & Casino.
Here is how the money was distributed: Erie Zoo, $92,465; Erie Art Museum, $43,336; Erie Playhouse, $40,832; Erie Philharmonic, $40,428; Erie Arts & Culture (formerly ArtsErie), $31,839; Mercyhurst Institute for Arts & Culture, $25,032; Erie County Historical Society, $18,671; Flagship Niagara League, $16,766; and Experience Children's Museum, $14,037.
The cultural, historical and entertainment nonprofits can use the money for any operational purposes, including capital improvements, equipment purchases, technology upgrades and personnel.
"We continue to single out these groups as important lead assets to the community because of the economic development results that they provide, not only in growing the creative class workforce, but they also bring people in from the outside and contribute to tourism," Wood said.
The Erie Zoo, for instance, uses some of the money to help fund free admission every Sunday in the summer from 4 to 6 p.m., and after Labor Day, from 3 to 5 p.m., said Scott Mitchell, the zoo's president. The two hours of free admission are "the two busiest hours of the week," he said.
The zoo also stays open three hours later on Wednesdays in July, until 8 p.m., and grant money goes to pay overtime to employees and pay for entertainment, Mitchell said. "It's extremely popular with working families," he said.
Some of the authority money in 2013 was used to fund part of the new leopard and lynx exhibit now under construction, Mitchell said. That $1.3 million project, funded from a variety of sources, will be completed this fall and open in the spring, he said. The zoo is closed during the winter.
"The important part of this for us, and for all the assets, is (financial) stability," Mitchell said. That stability allows the zoo to offer new programs and hire staff, he said.
Wood said the amount the groups received Thursday is the same as they've been getting every six months since funding began in July 2011.
The money comes from an ECGRA account, but future annual distributions are expected to be drawn from an endowment. The authority put nearly $5.4 million in an endowment at the Erie Community Foundation in 2012, and that amount has grown to $8.6 million with interest earnings and another $1 million that the authority put into the fund in December.
The authority could start drawing down from the endowment sometime in 2015 for the lead assets grants, but that could be a blend of endowment money and ECGRA account funding, he said. Eventually, the authority plans to award grants to lead assets entirely from interest earnings on the endowment, Wood said.

Skip to comments.Democrats Pressure Washington Redskins to Change Name
Posted on 03/23/2013 6:43:30 AM PDT by IbJensen
click here to read article
Symbolism over substance. Just another way to make people acutely aware that they are not guilty enough.
Not sure I would go so far to say Democrat women are dogs, but, I see your point.
As a group, Republican/conservative women seem to be strikingly attractive. Whereas, Democrat/liberal women tend to be, well, not so feminine appearing/attractive, whatever term we can use to describe it.
There are so many names which are offensive, not just Indian nicknames.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish, offends the Irish
Boston Celtics, offends the Celtic/Irish people
Milwaukee Brewers, offends beer companies and their workers
Green Bay Packers, offends meat packers
Pittsburgh Steelers, offends steel workers
Pittsburgh Pirates, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders, is giving honor to criminals and outlaws.
San Diego Padres, offensive to the Catholic church, Catholics, and priests everywhere.
Texas Rangers, offensive to the law enforcement agency of that same name.
Chicago White Sox - does this offend people of color???
New Orleans Saints - offensive to the saints of the Catholic Church.
I'm sure there are others, but you get the point. To be politically correct, we will have to cleanse society of so many established institutions and names.
Here in Pensacola we have a baseball team named Blue Wahoo, it's a fish. I wonder who is offended.
I played the Rename the Redskins game with a friend. My idea, Washington Werewolves, was trumped by my friend's idea, Washington Wevils (spelling intentional).
Well I've always called them the Washington Foreskins so they can go with that.
Or how about "The Crack Heads?"
The democrat Party should change its name too then, it also is a misnomer and a lie.
In keeping with the high standards of 53% of American voters: Washington Whatevers.
Watch out, Blackhawks fans - you're next (starting with that Indian head on the best-looking jerseys in the NHL).
I think if you did a poll of most Native Americans you would find they either like the name or don't care about football.
There is nothing wrong with a sports team representing(in name) native Americans, just as there is nothing wrong with a sports team representing patriots, or cowboys. Although the home of the first two stands some scrutiny. Such is the nature of sports rivalry.
Still 91% of native Americans support Indian mascots.
Why because a mascout is not a degenerating symbole, its a symole of pride. RedSkin fans don't degerate the redskins they celebrate them
These mindless attacks on traditional names, identifications & ethnic pride, say a lot about those who engage in them. But some folk are just too stupid to even recognize that they are displaying stupidity!
William Flax
What frosts me is that some refer to this amalgam of assorted idiots, loonies and communists as the 'Democratic' Party.
Fuzzy Wuzzies.

Marcos Maidana: Broner's Mouth Can't Fight For Him!
Adrien Broner has been eating lots of ice cream, admiring himself on TV, and spending quality time with friends and family.
He has also been preparing for the first defense of his WBA welterweight title.
Broner faces former WBA junior welterweight champion Marcos Maidana in San Antonio's Alamadome on Saturday night.
If it seems like Broner is treating Maidana like an afterthought, at least publicly.
"I'm undefeated, 27-0, 22 knockouts, three-time world champion in three different weight classes; I did that at 23," Broner said om Friday.
"At 24, I will be a four-time world champion in four different weight classes. We've just got to get this stepping stone out of the way."
Ring magazine rates Broner as sixth best boxer, pound-for-pound, in the world. His speed, power, counter-punching and flamboyancy have drawn comparisons to his mentor, Floyd Mayweather, and led to a meteoric rise after only five years as a professional.
Broner says Maidana has as much chance of beating him as he does of getting the last word in. "I really ain't got much to say about my opponent," Broner said. "We're here to talk about Adrien Broner."
The dismissal is fine with Maidana, who held his right hand like a cocked gun that he pointed at Broner's head during the final press conference on Thursday.
"Everyone knows Broner has a big mouth," Maidana said earlier. "But that doesn't bother me, because his mouth can't fight for him. Whether he has the guts to stand in front of me, or if he runs, I'll go for the KO. Either way, I'm leaving the ring with the belt."
Broner said he had eaten more ice cream preparing for this fight than in any training camp, he did let his guard down away from the glut of television cameras he revels in.
"I'm not going to lie, this is the biggest fight of my career," he said. "[Maidana] is going to try to come fight me; he's going to try to break my neck, so I'm ready, man, I'm focused."
The American is realistic because he knows every fighter has a "puncher's chance," and the aggressive Maidana is definitely a puncher.
After losing two of four matches, the Argentinian has won his last three bouts by KO or TKO to earn this title match.
In his previous bout, Maidana landed 56 percent of his power punches in stopping Josesito Lopez in the sixth round on June 8. After knocking Lopez down with an overhand right, he followed with a crushing right uppercut that forced a stoppage.
"I don't really think Broner has fought a puncher like Maidana yet," WBA interim welterweight champion Keith Thurman said. "This might be the best puncher that he's come up against."

Obama lashes Bush for 'breaking his promises' to New Orleans
By Alex Massie in Washington
Last Updated: 2:01am GMT 30/01/2007
Barack Obama, the Democrat presidential hopeful, used a visit to New Orleans yesterday to contrast President George W Bush's stubborn determination to persevere in Iraq, and his apparent unwillingness to do the same in the rebuilding of the hurricane-hit city.
During a special hearing of the Senate Homeland Security Committee in the city, Mr Obama said the President had broken his promises to the people of Louisiana by failing to do more to rebuild the city after it was hit by Katrina 18 months ago with the loss of at least 1,695 lives.
"In the weeks after Katrina, an ashamed nation looked at what had been allowed to happen here and said 'Never again. Never will we turn our backs on these people. Never will we forget what happened here'," he said.
"The President came down and said, 'We will do what it takes, we will stay as long as it takes, to help citizens rebuild their communities and their lives'.
"Just 18 months later, we heard not one word not one word in the President's State of the Union address about New Orleans," Mr Obama noted. "And so I have one more set of questions to ask today: 'Are we willing to do whatever it takes? To stay as long as it takes? Are we in danger of forgetting about New Orleans?' "
The city's fate has become a leitmotif for Democrats seeking their party's presidential nomination. Democrats suggest that the federal government's sluggish response to the disaster symbolises Republican incompetence and indifference in equal measure.
Democrats argue that rebuilding the ruined city is an essential litmus test for the administration and that the failure to make swifter progress demonstrates a failure of national will.
"I hope we get some answers to the questions today because rebuilding the city of New Orleans is not just good for the Gulf Coast or the state of Louisiana, it's good for our nation," said Mr Obama. He questioned whether the federal government was doing its part to help New Orleans rebuild.
He noted plans to raze several low-income housing developments, adding that "I haven't seen concrete plans to meet the long-term housing needs of all the displaced people in New Orleans".
Mr Obama and Hillary Clinton, his rival for nomination as the Democrat candidate for the White House, were, however, slower to embrace the political potential and symbolic resonance of New Orleans than former vice-presidential nominee, John Edwards.
Mr Edwards, the other member of the Democratic "Big Three", announced his own presidential campaign against the backdrop of the city's battered Ninth Ward last month.
Mr Edwards used the city's plight to illustrate his populist message that America is increasingly divided along economic as well as racial lines.
Feelings ran high at the committee's hearing as a protester shouting "Stand up for Justice" interrupted Senator Joseph Lieberman as he opened the hearing. Though the protester was removed from the committee room at the Louisiana State Supreme Court, his message was met sympathetically.
"It's hard to come back here more than a year after Katrina without feeling that emotion," said Sen Lieberman, the committee's chairman. "We're here to say that we understand the work is not done, to put it mildly."
After the hearing concluded the Senators were given a bus tour of the city so they could see how much more work remains to be done in New Orleans' poorest neighbourhoods.
Donald Powell, the president's co-ordinator for the Gulf Coast recovery effort, said the administration was doing all it could to support the reconstruction effort, but said that more time was needed.
"President Bush is committed to rebuilding the Gulf Coast and rebuilding it stronger and better than it was before hurricanes Katrina and Rita," he told the committee.
Someone needs to just tell this empty suit to STFU.
Mississippi is recovering quite well, Osama.
Nothing to see here folks, New Orleans is dying. The emotions of Americans are drained, pouring money into RAT holes. It's just to say we can remember how it was once. But it will never be again. Nails are in the coffin, MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND...you do believe in global warming, and you know that the creek will rise, so move...UP.
"we will stay as long as it takes, to help citizens rebuild their communities"
Not give away like there is no tomorrow on people that will piss it away or put trust into the same effing politicians that caused so much of the problems to begin with.
Re-elect Nagin after that?
IMHO, GWB did a very very very stupid thing when he walked out on the WH lawn that day. It will haunt him for two more years and beyond.
isn't it amazing that everyone cites new orleans..and NO ONE will dare say mississippi or alabama..both of which are moving on without the crying and screaming..
if he wants to know why n'awlins isn't moving along quickly, simply compare the leadership of louisiana, mississippi and alabama..
So sick of the constant whining from Liberals about poor New Orleans.
I'm from Lake Charles. We had a little storm too. Her name was Rita. We were devestated. We rebuilt. We didn't move to Houston to live off the government's teat. You don't hear Hussein Obama talk about us too much.
Personally, I am sick and tired of NO crybabies. I have had it with every lefty politician that cries the blues about NO.
Pave the place and be done.
Obama and Nagin, double chocolate in 08.
Congressman Jefferson won't share the spoils with him unless he backs up the lie.
obviously Obama is not willing to do whatever it takes when the security of our country is at stake. e.g., Iraq.
But, as long as there are govt. handouts in the pipe for N.O., the failed Dem Utopia, well, we should by all means do whatever it takes.
Barack Hussein needs to shove it up his skinny ass sideways and twist it.
Exactly what promises were broken? And what are the people of New Orleans going to do to rebuild their city? Galveston was rebuilt. San Francisco was rebuilt after the earthquake. Other hurricane-devestated areas have been rebuilt. Why does the Federal Government have to do it all?
Obama? I remember him. Wasn't he running for President a few months ago or something?
Whatever.... Old news. The Obama fad disappeared faster than Tickle Me Elmo.
Thanks for weighing in and giving real insight from that area. I am in Houston and we got the Katrina "evacuees" aka criminals. They just got an extension (i.e., free ride) to August 2007!
This is all about helping BlankO win re-election. If she defeats Bobby Jindal it will be a further disgrace.
And he STILL was reelected!
Someone needs to just tell this empty suit to STFU.
maybe not......with his lack of shame as well as foolishness and big head, he COULD turn out to be the democrats very own ross perot of the '08 election.....
Junior seems to be slow by a step or two.
The primary season between him and the Thighmaster ought to be a lovely one to watch.
Did you hear that Mary Landrieu said that she wished that terrorists had bombed the levees instead of Katrina hitting? She said that Bush would have responded faster and given more money. (Heard this on Rush or Sean today.)
Blanco (that's French for stupid, by the way) is sitting on 10 Billion dollars of Federal money. She is saving it for buying votes in the upcoming gubernatorial election.
I went down there. I took time off. I slept on a cot in a dorm of hundreds. I worked 10 days without a break. I got sh*t from my bosses and more sh*t from the people I helped.
Where was your sorry behind when those of us who pay thousands in taxes also went down there and shed blood for those people?
Take a flying f*ck over a rolling doughnut, you candy-b*tt freak. We helped, where was your sorry behind? The sociopaths and psychopaths down there who feel the nation, each one of us, owes them our sacrifice and suffering, they're still in trouble. And you want to blame US?
You make me want to puke. I avoid stepping on stuff like you because it makes my shoes smell bad all day.
Agreed. NO is sinking; everybody with common sense knows this. That's why Hussein Obamarama wants to rebuild.
When Katrina came through, they should have just swept up the debris and made a big honkin' boat ramp.
Let's just federalize all the states and get it over with.
Actually, that 1.5 coco. And Hussein has absolutely nothing in common with blacks" in New Orleans. He certainly has nothing in common with the decendants of American slaves.
I thought Bush kept his promise not to blow up the levees again ................... /s
Floppy eared punk.
Yo, Obama,
How many new under-the-table with FEMA money milliomaires are there in Nawlins today?
Yes she did. Posted Posted by Ellesu on FR yesterday.
Landrieu: We might have been better off if terrorists had blown up the levees
I have one thing to say to BarackHussienObama.
STFU. NOLA was almost as liberal as any place in the USA BEFORE Katrina hit, and the LOCAL and STATE governments should have been doing their job first. The next time we have a flooding issue here, I will NOT call FEMA, I'll depend on LOCAL authorities FIRST.
Red faced rant mode off
Much of the available cash has yet to be spent because Blanco & crew are squabbling about scope of projects, priorities and so on let alone awarding contracts. The money is there, it's just that the local and state leadership is lacking (again).
Always remember, an anagram of the letters in Barack Hussein Obama reads, A car bomb has a use in K. Now we just have to find out what K stands for!
"Hey Hussein, ask Jimma Carter to bring his homes for humanity in".
100,000 applicants; 300 dispersals; rate is about 2 per week.
The feds did their part, it is the State of Louisiana and alleged Governor Blanco that are not doing their part.
Knew Orleans?
Well, it's clear that the people of Louisiana are for sale....how pathetic and how very sad for the good and decent folks there who are paying the price.
Well the people of New Orleans need to stop robbing , stabbing, and shooting and rebuild. Local government still counts, local leadership is important. The people of New Orleans re-elected an incompetent, racist mayor who failed to evacuate them or succor them at their hours of need and danger. He and an equally incompetent governor took, and continue to take, NO responsibility for the safety, welfare or recovery of their people. The dogs in the street know that NO has received tens of millions of private and public assistance. What did Nagin and Bianco do with it? Mississippi was hit just as hard as Louisiana. Yet communities there are rebuilding . Leadership matters. But New Orleans voters apparently felt race mattered more. And Obama is race-hustling right along with the best of them. Despicable.
He's paying way too much attention to his press clippings.
Divert the federal funds scheduled to flow to Illinois to waste on NOLA, if that's what Barack wants.
As usual, it's Bush's fault while state and local officials are sitting around and drinking beer in Baton Rouge.
Who the hell cares? New Orleans was a dump before Katrina. Bulldoze it under and move on already.
If the Feds poured 100 times as much money into Nagin's Chocolate Town, it would still not be enough for Obama.

Fantastic hotel
We enjoyed our stay very much. The hotel staff were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were large and well fitted, it was great to have a seperate lounge and kitchen. It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Quay West Suites Melbourne and we will be booking again next time we are in Melbourone.
Wedding Anniversary
We have just recently stayed at Quay West to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary
1) We were greeted to this wonderful night stay by excellent staff that were very friendly and made us feel welcomed.
2) Our suite was second to none with every amenity at our disposal and the balcony was lovely to be able to sit outside and enjoy the view over the river.
3) The swimming pool/spa were great.
4) Proximity to the Southgate Shopping & Restaurants precinct was fabulous.
5) The bed was comfortable and gave us both a well-needed sleep.
6) Breakfast was delicious at Jarrah Restaurant.
We hope to return for our 26th Anniversary.
Loved the Quay West Suites
The Quay West Suites were excellent!! Wonderful location, indoor pool and a great suite with a balcony. Melbourne had lots of great sightseeing. Don't miss the Great Ocean Drive and Soverign Hill which is a mining town from the gold rush days.
Great Hotel
We had a great time at this fantastic hotel. All the staff were helpful and friendly. We had an amazing large suite with modern kitchen and all the mod cons. The location is excellent on the South Bank - very central for the city - and loads of restaurants along the river. Would definitely recommed.
Best location, great unit
My husband checked in the day before I arrived checked in and was most impressed with the room. He easily found a convenience supermarket to purchase necessities for the next mornings breakfast. There are two within a 3 minute walk...five minutes gets you to Coles across the yarra which has a greater range of goods.
As our stay was during a major event (Commonwealth games) Quay West were taking names and notifying people 18 months in advance re pricing and availability. We were offered a 1 bedroom basic room 340pn.
The Room.
Located on the 15th floor with sweeping views down the Yarra the apartment was clean and well designed. The children were supposed to share a sofa bed for the 3 nights they were with us but our daughter opted for the cushions on the floor. The kitchen had a small dishwasher, full oven and fridge as well as a combination washer drier. It had sufficient cutlery crockery etc for 4 (including an allocation of 3 clean glasses each) as well as utensils and cooking equipement for both the stove and microwave. There were two additional lounge chairs and a dining setting for 4 which meant we had somewhere to sit even with the kids bed out. Both lounge and bedroom had televisions. The balcony was furnished with a metal setting for 2. Windows had both privacy blinds and heavy drapes which helped to keep out both the city noise and light.
The bathroom was a standard style marble with one sink, full bath and shower. Basic toiletries were supplied. My only gripe would be the toilet paper was a bit harsh! We were given two large fluffy towels and two standard towels as well as 2 pool towels. There were no linen issues at all during the stay. (This often seems to me to be one area many hotels fall down in. The dishwasher was either put on for us or unpacked each day if we had used it.
The biggest concern I had would have been noise but after the 11pm fish show (special event related) it quieted down and I slept soundly.
I think our booking length secured us what they told us was the best room in the place 1510. I don't doubt it by location
Whilst I did not use the Gym my son did and it was reasonably well equipped and most importantly had live television coverage. The TV is also positioned so as it can be watched from the spa (no sound). The 20 metre (approx) pool was ideal. I was able to clock up a number of laps and had the pool to myself on all but 2 of 9 swims. The pool was a good temperature and spotlessly clean. There is no bar service but being and indoor pool I would much rather sit on my balcony.
Parking was charged at $25 per day and we were told that a visitor could park for 18...we did have a visitor for a few hours and the fee was not added to the bill.
Restaurants and bars were not used (we used the bar once for a coffee) and we either ate in or at nearby restaurants. The main reason for not using the bar was it was closed each night when we returned from athletics despite advertising as being open till late.
No problems with anything here either. This is an apartment complex so no doormen but the porters handled baggage and brought up the car efficiently each time it was required. The staff was friendly helpful and happy and attempted to answer any questions to the best o their ability (we wanted a private steamboat trip but no one seemed to know how to book one...even the visitors centre)
Poor Service, doesn't worth the money!
I stayed at QW suite for 2 nights and were totally disappointed because of...
1. Horrible housekeeping - eventhough they have madup your room, but the bathroom was not cleaned and with wasted papers left behind.
2. Staff at reception desk were not friendly and they just don't know what they were doing. Wrong calculations, impolitness are their norms.
Great for travelling through OZ
These apartment hotels are great if you are travelling through Australia and need somewhere which doesn't feel like a hotel and has laundry facilities in the room! The suite we had was spacious(by UK standards anyway), good decor and well cleaned. Room service was just OK, but you are better going either to the in-house restaurant or out...
The location of this hotel is perfect - very central and all you need to explore the city.
Not good
What is it with this Hotel? I have stayed here three times (all while on work assignment in Melbourne) and have yet to have a good experience. One time, the room had an air vent which went to the liftwell, and all I heard all night in the bedroom was the CLUNK, CLUNK of the lift moving up and down all night. It was painful. The next time, the room was overlooking the air vent coming up from the carpark and so the room was noisy as well. What is it with the air vents in this building? The next time, however, was a really shocker. I was there for five days, but working for three different client through that time, so the bill had to be charged to three different client accounts. That was WAY too much for the hotel reception staff to get their heads around, and it took numerous explaintations to get this settled and a total TWO HOURS for me to check out and settle the bill! After the two hours, I swore NEVER, EVER again would I stay at Quay West, a noisy hotel which does not make a stay an easy experience. Since then, have stayed at both Hyatt Grand, and Sofitel for work, both of which, for the same price as Quay West, offered a much better, more relaxing stay in the great city of Melbourne.
Great views
My wife and I went here in April, we were very lucky and managed to get a large room with a balcony overlooking the Promenade/ Yarra River and bridge. Perfect to watch the world go by. We could even watch the parade go by on the bridge on Anzac Day. The staff were lovely and polite and gave us a free upgrade.
Also you just walk out of the hotel and you are perfectly placed for all the restaraunts along the riverside. Evening features of gas flames shooting into the sky every hour are a amazing site to behold as you sit and watch the world go by.
Their is one drawback, the positioning of the hotel here means a bit of noise, though quite frankly, with a set of earplugs, and their double glazing it was not a problem.
Also the room service breakfasts are a bit on the mean side
So eat out!!.
Great Location!
Great Location! The suites are nice inside. The people working were very professional and nice. It's right on the river with restaurants and arts center nearby. The Botanic Gardens are in walking distance. It was a good choice.

Jenee' Ryan tells us about a growing company that is helping Pullman overcome those challenges.
Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories is an international company that designs and manufactures products to make electric power safer.
SEL employs around 2,000 people at their Pullman headquarters and they just announced they want to hire 130 more.
"We've had a lot of success with some of our traditional products and some success with our newer products and as the demand for our product continues, we need more folks here to help build those products for us," said Director of HR for SEL, Stacey Doty.
SEL doesn't hire people that just want jobs. They hire people that want to build a career. And that means more people staying and living in Pullman.
And that helps alleviate the stresses of being a college town.
"When you have a university that usually has a little dip during the summer for employment, here's SEL continuous there with a constant group of residents here so we don't see a dip anymore," said Pullman Mayor Glenn Johnson. "It's wonderful."
Doty said improving Pullman is also one of their goals as a company.
"With our strong focus on employees, we're always looking at not only how can we improve their job satisfaction here at work but how can we enhance their lives overall within the community," said Doty.
Mayor Johnson said that dedication to the community continually impresses him.
"They actually have on their Friday luncheons, ways to support the community," said Mayor Johnson. "They are the biggest givers for United Way."
Doty said SEL is excited to continue to grow in Pullman and the Mayor agrees.
"Continuous increase as far as employment is concerned," said Johnson. "That's great for any city."

RIVERTON Shortly after 5 a.m. Sunday, I. Michael Heine heard what sounded like two gunshots on his leafy street, named for the carriage houses in which workers of wealthy residents once lived.
Heine, who practices construction law in Cherry Hill, thought about getting up from his computer and investigating. Then he thought better of it.
"I'm not part of CSI Riverton," said Heine, a Camden County assistant prosecutor in 1969 and 1970. "The street's not visible from my house."

On an unrelated note, are the toxin shooting guys in Blight Town going to respawn? Thinking about suicide rushing them just to wipe them out if they are gone once I deal with them. Blight Town would seem a lot more fun if I could play it at more than 10fps... ><
You're not alone. He gave me tons of trouble too only my first play through. Try to get under his belly... hack hack and drink. Just watch for him to jump away. I think I tossed some fire at him until I was out... then two handed a sword to his gut.
hemphoarder 4 years ago#3
the key to beating off Sif is to stay underneath him. this gives you easy access to his "weak spot" and you can avoid his large protruding sword attacks.
after a good bit of strikes he will become weak in the knees and move considerably slower. this will make staying below him much easier to finish him off.
you can avoid blightown altogether by going down to New Londo and opening the gate in the tower opposite the one you enter the zone with. Cross the chasm and you will start where you technically are supposed to finish at and its much easier to get to the boss. you will need the master key though.
I couldn't care less...
The toxic guys stay dead once you kill them.
But yeah, just roll under his belly and slash away.
Block his attacks with a shield with good stability or dodge them.

I have crap luck and find glitches everywhere.
ScarletStrider 4 years ago#5
Yep, as these guys have said, try to stay under him. If you can't manage to do this all the time (such as when he does the spinny double roflcopter attack) you can practice dodging it, dodging through it so you end up closer to him if you're feeling brave, or just being aware of when he he's about to do it.
So if you want a safer option, just stay close, hit him a couple of times with 2 handed attacks, once he jumps away, you can try baiting his helicopter attack by running in his range then quickly moving out, after he's done, you can rush him and stay under his belly.
I found this worked well on my first playthrough when I was learning his attacks.
haarlem1982 4 years ago#6
Don't block his attacks, roll staright through them so you end up undeneath him.
You need people like me so you can point your f***ing fingers, and say: that's the bad guy.
psn demonchild82, MILFeaterManfred
Based on what you guys have said I think I should take off some of my armor so I can roll under him easier. I think I will go through Blight Town. It won't be easy, but I don't want to skip any areas!

You can always go back up through the bottom way!

I'd advise going the normal way from the Depths if you don't want to miss anything... going through Blighttown from the bottom up is much more of a challenge...
Sif is difficult for a first playthrough, especially if you haven't played Demon Souls. Don't be discouraged! Its just a matter of learning how/when to roll.
Also, don't skip any areas on your first playthrough. You only have one chance to experience the game freshly.

Giza Plateau
The Giza Plateau (Arabic: جيزة بلاتي) is a plateau that is located in Giza, Egypt. The famous Giza Necropolis is located in this geographical area, which is characterized by a sandy, desert climate and terrain with little vegetation.
Modern Giza's layout is accessed by two main roads. The first from the north leads to Khufu's pyramids and the other road leads near the Sphinx's forecourt from the east. They cross the Nile River from the east bank and follow the causeway westward. Dominating the plateau and running in a southwest diagonal through the site are the three pyramids of the pharaohs Khufu, Khafra, and Menkaura. The northernmost, and the largest, one belongs to Khufu. Khafra's pyramid is built precisely on a southwest diagonal to his father's pyramid, as well as having been built on higher ground to create the illusion of being bigger. The pyramid of Menkaura is much smaller and is not aligned along the same diagonal line as the other two pyramids.[1]
Since the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 looting has been taking place at the site.[2]

Reviews for Hot Crab Pinwheels
"terrific. Added garlic powder and additional onions. Got great reviews"
"These are terrible. I made it twice. The second time I rinsed the crab for 10 minutes under cold water and even squeezed lemon juice over it to kill the fishy flavor. No luck. Both batches tasted horrifically fishy. Both batches went into the garbage."
"made this the other day and it was gone by the end of the night (from just 3 people!) was really amazing!"
"I've also found that the crab spread makes a great hot dip when served with triscuits or club crackers"
