Hulk Hogan threatens to sue the Ultimate Warrior over video
If you've been following the social media war between Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior, first we have to ask you why, but then we can tell you Hulk's upping his game by threatening to sue. Because that's what everyone does these days.
In a seven-minute video released by the Warrior, James Hellwig rips Terry Bollea for badmouthing "Macho Man" Randy Savage, a.k.a. the late Randy Poffo, with whom Bollea had reconciled in later years. The Warrior pulls out all the stops, accusing Hogan of being a "dope head" who did coke nonstop and having an open marriage with Linda Hogan. Hellwig even says the Hulk tried to get him and other wrestlers to have sex with his wife.
"None of that ever happened. This guy is out of his mind," Hogan says, according to TMZ. Now Hogan is huddling with his lawyer to sue the face paint off the Warrior for the video, which Hogan calls "a blatant lie." After watching the video (you can see it above), we can only wonder if these guys still think this in 1989 and they're on a WWF stage. Wow. Does this possibly have anything to do with his just-announced "live staged production" in which Hulk interviews people? That would just be jaded of us to think that.

A Boston Marathon bombing victim's story
Stronger's director David Gordon Green
Scott Marks 3 p.m., Sept. 20
Agreeably old-fashioned survival adventure, "inspired by a true story" as well as by a Japanese film inspired by the same story, about a team of Antarctic sled dogs who, after saving the life of a UCLA scientist in quest of "the first meteorite from the planet Mercury," are chained up for safekeeping while their masters fly out to get medical aid, and are then left on their own for six months -- forty-two months, that would be, in dog years -- when winter storms come ahead of schedule and seal off their retrieval. The early shots of the dog team in harness at full run ("They absolutely love their work") are stirring; and the rescue of the scientist from a hole in the ice, the leader of the pack worming her way towards him with a lifeline in her teeth, is breath-stopping. There is also, in their months of aloneness, one moment guaranteed to make you jump out of your skin, and that's just the start of the film's most nerve-racking sequence. All eight dogs, blessedly free of inner voices provided by the likes of Bruce Willis and Whoopi Goldberg, form as stoical an ensemble of actors as you could find outside a Jean-Pierre Melville gangster film. They thoroughly outclass Paul Walker, Jason Biggs, Bruce Greenwood, and Moon Bloodgood (as the hottie airplane pilot), despite the humans' sincerest efforts and the indiscriminately flattering photography, crisp, clean, bright, by Don Burgess. Not all of the dogs (pussies be warned) make it through alive, but it's precisely at the times of loss and injury that their demeanor is most inspirational. This is bad, their faces seem to say, but let's get on with it. A couple of them, over the course of events, emerge as individuals, but even then the overriding point, and very touching point, is their togetherness, their oneness. As their handler laconically puts it: "Good team." Directed by Frank Marshall. 2006.

- Italian Grand Prix - FP2
Rosberg pleased with improved balance
- Race:
- Italian Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Nico Rosberg
- Teams:
- Mercedes
Nico Rosberg put Mercedes' improved showing in practice for the Italian Grand Prix down to a better balance on the W03.
Rosberg was third in the first session as his team-mate Michael Schumacher set the pace, and then fifth in FP2 - just 0.156s slower than Lewis Hamilton. Having finished 11th in Belgium, Rosberg said the car was feeling a lot better at Monza and that he was already targeting a large points haul on Sunday.
"Yeah it was generally a quite good start, definitely better than Spa," Rosberg said. "Of course we don't want to be too optimistic just because of today as it's a Friday, but it feels a lot better to drive and the balance is better.
"Everything is a little bit better, braking is a little bit better, the balance in all those long- and medium-speed corners is better. It makes it all the more enjoyable then because in Spa the balance wasn't right and it feels good so I think it's possible to do a lot of points this weekend."
While Mercedes has had tyre usage issues in the past, Rosberg said the tyres would be a challenge again this weekend and he is unsure as to what the best strategy will be.
"There is a difference; the hard is more difficult to warm up so the lap times on the hard are done at the very end when there is not a lot of fuel. But on the first lap there is a lot of difference ... Strategy wise it will be one or two-stop so it will be interesting to see what everybody does."

In Reply to: "Dying on the vine" posted by ESC on November 25, 2005
: : : "Dying on the vine" I heard it used by a traffic court judge in reference to a misdemeanor case. I want to know what it means. I've heard it used in other situations not related to legal situations. Does anyone know what it means, or if there is a special legal meaning?
: : A vine is the part of a plant, usually a vegetable or fruit plant, that supports the fruit as it is growing.
: : When the fruit is ripe and ready to be eaten someone takes the fruit off the vine.
: : If the fruit is left too long on the vine after it ripens,it starts to spoil and rot and wither away.
: : So if something is "dying on the vine" then it is starting to wither away and disappear.
: : I don't think the phrase has any particular legal meaning.
: : Maybe the judge was referring to a case which has been scheduled,rescheduled and postponed so many times that the case is now dying on the vine or about to be abandoned by the prosecution.
: Good ol' Merriam-Webster says:
: die on the vine : to fail especially at an early stage through lack of support or enthusiasm. Let the proposal die on the vine.
no specific legal meaning in England, but it sounds like an expression that particular judge has picked up and expresses the idea of a case becoming stale through the metaphor of the vine. grapes wither to become raisins.
the judge suggests that there is a lack of commitment to progress. staleness only really matters if delays mean that memories would be affected, although there are artificial 'limitations' on when cases are decreed stale irrespective of actual memory.
a good metaphor

For months I had been wanting to see Disney's Frankenweenie that just came out in theaters on Friday. I was lucky and got to take my daughter Hannah to a pre-screening of the movie before it hit the theaters. For a movie that is in black and white, it was pretty darn good!
I like that this film is also in 3D that makes it even better. My daughter loves wearing those silly glasses in the theater and I love the 3D effects.
From creative genius Tim Burton ("Alice in Wonderland," The Nightmare Before Christmas") comes "Frankenweenie," a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor's fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new "leash on life" can be monstrous.
For a movie that deals with the death of a little boy's dog, the storyline is pretty good and it has a great ending. I thought my daughter Hannah wasn't going to like it, but she was giggling throughout the movie. I love the cast of characters too, especially Weird Girl and her cat Mr. Whiskers.
I want to share with you one of my favorite parts of the movie.
Frankenweenie is currently playing in theaters right now! If you are looking for a movie to watch with your children, this might be something you will want to see.
For those on Facebook, be sure to "Like" Frankenweenie at: http://www.facebook.com/FrankenweenieMovie
Disclosure – I received a press invite to attend screenings for this film. This post is not a paid post and the opinions stated herein are 100% my own

Recently, I've been doing major cutbacks in my work day. It started with my lead generation. I'd been putting myself through the wringer for six or seven months in an attempt at kicking my results up a notch, only to have the opposite effect. I finally had to draw a line in the sand or run the risk of burning out.
I pulled the plug completely and took a couple of weeks off the lead generation hamster wheel. The result? My incoming leads and my revenue actually increased. Was it that my energy had improved? Maybe. Was it that I was focusing more on the right things? Possibly. Either way, I wasn't going to stop a good thing. I started cutting back in every way imaginable, and my work schedule was the next thing to take a hit.
I'm currently in the middle of a "staycation" (you know, when you take a vacation without really going anywhere), and I'm limiting my work time to two to four hours per day. Amazingly, I'm still getting roughly the same amount accomplished. Except I'm not checking my news feeds several times per day, only once for five minutes by quickly scanning the highlights, so essentially, I'm having to cut the fat from my day.
Before I started my week, I went through my planned schedule and jotted down the most important four or five tasks that should be completed by Friday. I also solicited the help of a virtual assistant to help with a lot of my regular (and necessary) tasks. Everything else got the boot.
Now, I'm actually considering making these cuts permanent. When I return from my little hiatus, I'm thinking of temporarily dropping the bottom 80 percent of the tasks I do each day and then monitoring the results for a month or so.
I should be making the best use of my time. By forcing myself to ruthlessly cut away any excess, I'm getting down to the truth of it: much of what I do each day is a complete waste of time and is absolutely unnecessary for the success of my business. I'm willing to bet the same is true for you!
How much of your daily activity is actually revenue-producing? How much of it is really necessary for your success? Is it possible that you could trim even the bottom 20% of your daily tasks and still accomplish the same results?

London - Scientists claim to have discovered the secret of how an ingredient in red wine could be the key to a longer life.
The "miracle ingredient" resveratrol credited with anti-ageing powers, and the ability to work against cancer, heart disease and obesity, really does boost the body's supply of cell energy, claim researchers.
But it is only "switched on" in the presence of a gene called SIRT1 that is the key to longevity and energy.
Previous studies have shown the plant compound resveratrol improves the health of mice fed a high-fat diet and increases their lifespan.
But there has been controversy about whether it really does hold back the march of time, with conflicting results from some studies.
Now US scientists say they have solved the mystery and brought closer the prospect of a drug that would give the equivalent health benefits of 8,000 bottles of red wine.
They found the ingredient boosts the activity of mitochondria, the cell's energy supplier, which is essential for longevity and overall health.
Lead researcher Professor David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School, Boston, said "The results were surprisingly clear.
"Without the mitochondria-boosting gene SIRT1, resveratrol does not work." The latest study showed how resveratrol enhances the energy-generating activity of cells via a longevity gene called SIRT1.
Researchers are already looking at molecules that mimic the effect of resveratrol by targeting SIRT1. Such compounds could form the basis of future drugs that extend disease-free lifespan.
The effect of resveratrol on SIRT1 had been demonstrated in yeast, worms and flies before but never on higher animals.
The experiments involved a new strain of laboratory mouse whose SIRT1 gene can be successfully switched off.
When adult mice were given low doses of resveratrol with SIRT1 disabled, no effect was seen on the energy producing heart of the cells.
But mice with normal SIRT1 showed dramatic increases in energy after exposure to resveratrol.
The findings are published today in the journal Cell Metabolism (must credit).
Professor Sinclair said the new approach removed barriers to developing resveratrol for use in people, with drugs already being tested. The first could be available in three years.
He said "Our paper shows that SIRT1 is front and centre for any dose of resveratrol." Research last year suggested that such drugs allowed mice to escape the consequences of a bad diet and extended the lives of those eating junk food.
George Vlasuk, chief executive of the US biotech company Sirtris, which is trying to develop anti-ageing drugs, said: "The work strongly supports the basic rationale being pursued at Sirtris, which focuses on the development of small-molecule compounds that directly activate the enzymatic activity of SIRT1 as a new therapeutic approach to many diseases of ageing." - Daily Mail

Yes, even though the dreaded sodium chloride is simple table salt and "sodium" alone in other chemical names doesn't mean the same thing chemically, I still avoid anything with sodium or potassium in the name, or even chloride (but don't quote me on that), for that matter. I think not using shampoo to wash--even low-poo--more than once or twice a month aids in the maintenance as well. I wash my hair every other day, and I exercise/sweat daily, too, but I don't get dripping sweaty--just at the scalp, so that's new growth anyway. I don't know if the salty sweat has any negative effect on the BKT; I imagine it would, so I just plan to redo roots every 3-4 weeks, and that takes care of new growth as well as any the previously BKT'd hair that is still a little too curly.

chaged / partiton from ext3 to XFS. cant boot. (recompile initrd ?)
I converted my root partiton from ext3 to XFS on fedora core 2.
im using a kernel i compiled myself which has support for XFS (compiled as a module)
however on bootup, when it comes to mounting the root partiton, i get the error, cannot find ext3 file system on root / .
ive been reading about the initrd part of the bootup process, aparently it is responcible for identifying the foor file system, and loading kernel modules / drivers in early boot sequence.
so it would seem i need to compile a new initrc that knows my root file system is XFS.
how would i go about doing this ?
i am running knoppix live cd at the moment, and have all the tools i need to compiling a kernel, however, how do i compile a kernel for a different OS. for example, when i make install and make_modules install, the kernel and modules will be installed to knoppix, and not fedora core 2.
also, i think it might detect my root file system as whatever knoppix is using, and not XFS.
can anyone help ?
or maybe i can download a kernel that boots of XFS and use that temporerily untill i can compile a kernel within Fedora Core 2.
i cannot chroot, as fedora core 2 does not have a compiler installed.
aint this a b1tch of a problem ? hehe
Freck it...... im giving up.
converting root back to ext3.
however im still interested in using an alternate File system for root.
according to recent benchmarks, XFS and JFS and resierfs are much faster.
any info on setting up my initrd (assuming i am correct in faulting this part of the boot process)
to boot from an alternate FS would be great.
my partiton table is currently like so.....
partiton1 ext3 mounted as /
partiton2 formated as swap.
(i dont use boot partitons)
oh and also, ive seen lots of posts regarding different file systems speed and reliability,
but nothing on fragmentation... or is over pragmentation just a trait of NTFS / FAT / WinFS

Philadelphia shows fighting spirit
You can see it out the window of the rickety SEPTA car, as you rumble down the R7 line past
It's the palpable fighting spirit of Philadelphia and it's always lent a rough-and-tumble character to this place, one of those provincial cities where sports are a matter of vital cultural importance in a way any true metropolis like New York or L.A. can never comprehend. Long before Frazier,
From its long pedigree of fistic luminaries like
Saturday night marked the next chapter in this time-honored tradition, when the Wachovia Center played host to UFC 101 -- a mere six months after Pennsylvania became the 37th of the 44 states with athletic commissions to legalize mixed-martial-arts events. A sellout crowd of nearly 18,000 fans packed the home of the 76ers and Flyers to see
If the card didn't quite live up to the considerable hype, the Philadelphia fans sure did. They packed the place to capacity, bringing a raucous, party-type atmosphere from the lots into the stands, and made for an electric climate. The $3.55 million gate, thought to be a state record for a combat sports card and just a fraction of the pay-per-view haul, certainly didn't underwhelm.
It's safe to assume the first major MMA card in Philly won't be the last.

You ride the R7 downtown -- one of the eight regional conduits to Center City -- you transfer to the Broad Street subway and shoot down to the sports complex, an archipelago of stadiums which the inimitable
It was your classic cosmopolitan fight night with a touch of hillbilly: Your deluxe limousines parked next to eight guys drinking cans of beer out of the bed of a Ford F-Series. Along the east side of the building, a live band played to a crowd of several hundred alongside the notable sight of a U.S. Army recruiting tent.
This type of go-hard-or-go-home fanaticism -- a trait common among Philadelphia sports fans and UFC devotees at large -- was common at promotional events throughout fight week. Perhaps the most impressive display came Friday, though, when 2,546 fans packed the north end of Wachovia Center for the weigh-ins, and UFC president
Hundreds of MMA junkies -- many wearing those garish and ornate UFC, Tapout or Affliction shirts -- formed queues behind one of two microphones to ask questions and issue deep, heartfelt expressions of gratitude to the organization's frontman.

Blessed with an infectious charisma, While is able to incite raucous applause and spontaneous bursts of anger from the congregation with each response, like a latter-day cross between
The most common question, presumably from fans who'd made the 90-minute trek down I-95: "When is the UFC coming to New York?"
Who cares? Sure, UFC can and will someday draw like gangbusters at Madison Square Garden. But this sport was made for a blue-collar, rough-around-the-edges burg like Philly. From a business standpoint, there's not another city in the country that's within a three-hour drive of more pro sports teams (read: major markets). And culturally, it's a perfect fit for the local sensibilities.
"Philly is known for being one of the biggest fight towns in America if not

Six of the nine preliminary fights leading up to Saturday's two main events wouldn't even make the global pay-per-view telecast, but you'd never know it from a quick glance around the building at 7 p.m., when the occupied seats outnumbered the empty ones. "It's the first time we've ever walked into a fight and there's been 11,000 people there for the first fight of the undercard," White said.
During the lightweight fight between
Penn's fourth-round submission victory over Florian by rear-naked choke in the night's climactic lightweight title bout was a crowd-pleaser, a measured technical struggle between one guy looking to take the action to the ground and another more comfortable trading upright strikes. But the night's most electric moment came in the penultimate fight showcasing Silva, the middleweight champion who was unbeaten in his previous nine fights -- a UFC record -- but was moving up to 205 pounds to face light heavyweight champ (and obvious crowd favorite) Forrest Griffin.
Griffin's uninspired song choice -- The Dropkick Murphys' anthemic "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" -- was outdone when the room went dark and the entire space throbbed to the pulsating bass line of
The tension in the Octagon spread through the room during the first minute of the first round, as Silva calmly measured his opponent. (My press-row neighbor likened it to a bomb on the verge of explosion.) Silva couldn't quite capitalize on the ground after recording a flash knockdown but he didn't need to. Midway through the first round, Griffin looked beaten -- like a chess player who hasn't lost any important property, but whose opponent has developed his pieces far more effectively and thus seized control of the action. Next came a second knockdown, nothing too violent, but at this point Griffin was a shot fighter.
The ending came at the 3:23 mark of the first round: Silva averted two punches and, while
It was a transcendent moment and, in the aftermath, it was difficult to determine who the boos were directed towards, as Silva climbed and strattled the Octagon in celebration while Griffin bolted from the canvas and vanished down the tunnel in a three-quarters sprint in shame.
He was not seen again the rest of the night.

The vast majority of the MMA's recognizable names have contracts with UFC directly, so the organization can act as the primary promoter and matchmaker. Without the red tape of boxing, UFC "makes the fights the fans want to see."
That's a lofty ideal in boxing, something made lightyears easier when the entire operation is housed under one roof. "In boxing, a guy could be 30-0 and not fought anyone worth a shit,"
It's not always foolproof -- Penn-Florian was hardly compelling theater, with cries of "This fight sucks!" heard throughout the later rounds -- but it works more often than it doesn't. Throw in the slick packaging of these events -- which feels like a rock concert as much as a sporting event, from the flashy presentation to decibel level -- and you've got a gold mine in the coveted 18-to-34 demographic.
Fans of mixed martial arts should enjoy these salad days. It took Major League Baseball almost a century before
And as for the fight connoisseurs in Philadelphia, the wait for the next UFC event won't be nearly as long as the first.
"It's been an amazing experience," said a beaming White at the post-fight presser, "and I can't wait to come back."

Jane Fonda may be an outspoken Democrat, but the 74-year-old actress may just be changing her political tune for an upcoming big screen role.
Fonda -- who earned the nickname "Hanoi Jane" for her criticism of the Vietnam War -- is in talks to portray conservative former First Lady Nancy Reagan in Lee Daniels' new film The Butler, CNN reports.
Detailing the true-life tale of Eugene Allen, an African-American man who worked as a White House butler from 1952-1986, the upcoming project would feature Oscar winner Fonda as the wife of the 40th U.S. president, Ronald Reagan.
Variety reports that Oprah Winfrey, Forest Whitaker and Mila Kunis are also being courted to take part in the flick, which does not yet have a release date.
Filming for The Butler is expected to begin this summer.

Johannesburg -
Two Swazi activists, threatened with "throttling" by the country's prime minister, are biding their time in South Africa before deciding whether to go home.
Vincent Ncongwane, secretary-general of the Trade Union Congress of Swaziland (Tucoswa), and Sipho Gumedze, a member of Lawyers for Human Rights, said in Joburg on Tuesday that although Prime Minister Barnabas Dlamini had subsequently withdrawn the threat, they remained wary of what would happen to them on their return.
Gumedze expressed concern that they might be arrested and that he might be evicted from his rural house as it was the prerogative of the local chief to decide if he could remain there.
The two men were in Washington last week as guests of the US government to participate in a civil society forum as part of President Barack Obama's US-Africa leaders' summit.
They also joined a street demonstration, holding placards calling for freedom of expression in Swaziland as a protest against the recent harsh sentences handed down to Swazi newspaper editor Bheki Makhubu and human rights lawyer Thulani Maseko for publishing articles critical of the country's chief justice.
According to the Times of Swaziland, Dlamini told parliament last week: "Once they come back and you find out they are from your constituencies, you must strangle them."
Dlamini later retracted the remark, claiming he had been misunderstood, after an international outcry, including sharp criticism from the US government.
Gumedze said Dlamini had issued the threat against them because he believed they had gone to Washington to embarrass King Mswati III, who was in Washington at the same time to participate in Obama's summit.
In fact, Gumedze said they had said nothing in Washington different from what they had said before in Swaziland.
He and Ncongwane suggested that the Swazi government was particularly annoyed because the US had just removed Swaziland from benefits which had given the country duty-free access for its exports to the US market.
Gumedze said he took Dlamini's threat seriously, although his fears seemed to be of arrest or eviction.
He was certain that they would not get fair trials by Swaziland's "corrupt" judiciary. - Independent Foreign Service

Secrets of Success
A better week
Saturday, July 27, 2013
My laptop crashed. Just got it in Dec and this is the 2nd time and it will not hook up to the wireless so is useless to me without internet. I was having such a good time doing my SP stuff at night. I am really liking SP and all the different teams and articles. It really helps. All these years I had read that in order to be successful at weight loss you really had to do the food journal...but never got organized or motivated enough to do it. The food tracker is such a great find for me. I love being able to see the calorie count and protein and carbs although I find lots of them aren't complete as they list no vitamins or minerals for the particular food. Also I have had trouble entering recipes or groupings and then having no calorie or other info show up when I add them to my tracker.
I'm a techno-retard. I don't have a cell phone or smart phone or tablet or any of that stuff. I did download Kindle to my laptop to see if it would be something I could deal with as I was having such a tough time finding some of the titles all my techno pals were reading. I liked it. I don't shop over the internet so will pick up a Kindle paperwhite on my next trip to the "BIG CITY"-ha!ha!ha!ha! that is 110 miles south of here.
I'm gearing up to cook for a harvest crew starting on Monday (tentatively) and it's pretty fun. I love to cook-did it professionally for several years. I grew up in the restaurant biz. For this gig I cook the dinner meal for a group of 15 guys and then load it in my car and drive it to whatever field they are working in. We are in "the golden triangle" where lots of the hard red winter wheat comes from. I hope to figure out how to use my new digital camera - see, I'm trying to get into the 21st century-to get some shots of those amazing "amber waves of grain" to share on my blog. I never really appreciated this flat windy part of the country. We had to read all those "High, Wide and Lonesome" type pioneer history stories when I was in high school. I loved the Rocky Mountains and all the pine trees and alpine vegetation. My mom was from over in this part of the state-Eastern Montana is very barren and full of sage brush and badlands. All the ads for tourists show the Western part of the state where the lakes and mountains are. Now that I have been living here for a few years, I have grown to appreciate it and even, almost, love it. And I got all choked up a couple of years ago driving down Hwy 2-which runs the northern part of the country and actually seeing the "amber waves of grain" as I approached "the purple mountains majesty" of the Rockies.
Well, must get busy. Have lawn to mow and tree limbs and twigs to clean up and cooler to wash and disinfect and need to make a trip to the library. Was up early this a.m. but nothing I wanted at the farmer's market. We are Zone 3 so nothing really ready yet. One guy had tomatoes but they didn't look very good to me. And I have my own rhubarb and raspberries and beans and peas and carrots so I was hoping for some of the state's famous "Flathead cherries" and looking for the old-fashioned seeded watermelon and some corn. Just visited and passed up the deep fried treats and came home. Have a great weekend.

The Three Musketeers Teaser Trailer, Starring Logan Lerman, Milla Jovovich, and Orlando Bloom
The Three Musketeers Trailer: Explosions, Sword Fighting, and Orlando Bloom's Mustache
Between the fiery explosions and slow-motion fight scenes, it's obvious that director Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil) is trying to give his new version of The Three Musketeers a modern action film feel. Oh, and it's in 3D, naturally.
Logan Lerman stars as D'Artagnan from the classic story, a young man who teams up with the Musketeers (Matthew Macfadyen, Luke Evans, and Ray Stevenson) to save France and prevent Europe from going to war. The supporting cast includes familiar faces like Milla Jovovich, Orlando Bloom in an impressive mustache and pompadour, and up-and-comer Juno Temple. While the trailer looks relatively exciting, I do feel like the special effects have turned this into a run-of-the-mill action flick, whereas I'm more interested in the actual story. The film hits theaters on Oct. 14, but let me know if you're digging the preview after the jump.

Find A Grave Memorial# 110276962
My memorial for Horace Maynard Guffey in Nelson Cemetery, Morgan Cty, Tenn. That is the only one listed under that name.
The other is
Find A Grave Memorial# 103934749 for Horace Maynard Guffey in Catoosa Cemetery in Morgan Cty, Tenn.
I have contacted missylou & she said Nelson & Catoosa are the same cemetery & she is trying to get them linked together.
I would not post a memorial if one is already posted. I did not know they were the same cemetery. I always check before I post.
Are these the ones you are taking about?
I will delete mine as soon I am able to transfer my information to hers. I will get this done in a few days. I am very busy on the farm now to get this done any sooner, but I will do it.

Good news, James' death cert was found. It was missfiled under 1919 as the death cert states that is when he was last seen alive. Would this mean that his wife Emeline had passed? One answer always leads to more questions.

U.S. Rep. Ken Calvert was one of 85 Republicans who voted to approve the "fiscal cliff" bill that was passed early this year, a measure that included a tax increase for the wealthy and higher payroll taxes for more than 160 million citizens.
Temecula Mayor Mike Naggar, a conservative who opposed the bill, wants to know why.
In a letter to Calvert's office, Naggar asked the congressman to explain his "aye" vote on what Naggar called the "controversial and important measure."
The city of Temecula is represented in the House by Calvert and Duncan Hunter, a Republican who opposed the bill.
Calvert's 42nd District includes the city of Temecula's northeastern corner and communities to the north along the Interstate 15 and 215 corridors, while Hunter's 50th includes the bulk of the city of Temecula along with communities to the south and rural areas in eastern San Diego County.
Naggar also sent Hunter a letter asking for the rationale for his "no" vote on the measure.
When the congressional districts were redrawn in 2011, Temecula officials groused about having the city represented by two House districts because they feared it would weaken the city's political punch and lead to split votes that, in effect, would mute Temecula's voice on national affairs.
"We had a problem with it then. This is exactly what we foretold then," Naggar said, talking about the issues the city had with the districts after they were released. "Here we are."
Before the redistricting, the city had been represented by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista.
In a letter to Naggar dated Jan. 9, Calvert said it was a difficult vote, especially because the bill did not demand commensurate spending cuts. But he said he approved the bill to ensure that the majority of Americans would not experience a tax hike.
"Unfortunately, the U.S. House of Representatives only has one seat at the table and the Democratic Senate and President Obama decided that they would risk tax hikes on all in order to get a tax hike on a few," he wrote. "This is no way to run a government and it is certainly no way to lead. However, we have now capped revenue, made many parts of the tax code permanent and removed President Obama's constant threat of higher taxes."
In an email to The Californian, Hunter spokesman Joe Kasper said, "Representative Hunter was a solid 'no' from the moment details of the agreement emerged from the Senate. He just couldn't reconcile the fact that the legislation added trillions in debt and made no reforms to what's actually creating these fiscal sinkholes."
In Hunter's letter to Naggar, the coungressman said he voted no because of his "overriding concern for America's debt situation."
"My opposition ... was based on three factors: 1) the legislation presented a significant imbalance between revenue and budget cuts; 20 the legislation failed to make necessary spending reforms to the major-cost drivers in the federal budget; and 30 according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the legislation, coinciding with static economic growth, would add approximately $4 trillion in debt over the next decade," he wrote.
Naggar said he sent the letters regarding the fiscal cliff bill because of the significance of the legislation and the far-reaching effects it has on Temecula taxpayers.
Although he understands the opinions of Calvert and Hunter will differ from time to time, Naggar said he'd like to hear that they are at least talking and attempting to hammer out their differences for their constituents here.
"I think it's essential for them to show a united front when they represent us," he said. "This is exactly where it hits home for us."
If the representatives are agreeable to the idea, Naggar said he'd like to schedule a meeting with both of them and Councilwoman Maryann Edwards to discuss the city's top priorities.

Callimachus is a Linked Data application server used by the Federal Government for publishing open data on the Web and Fortune 1000 for consuming and visualizing a combination of enterprise and open content. 3 Round Stones is working to make Callimachus the choice of Web developers who want to rapidly write and host data-driven Web applications.

Vanity Fair Rates the Best Dressed
Oh best-dressed lists. They're so boring. I'd much rather flip through the pages of Star magazine and peruse their best and worst beach bodies selections. And the best part is they don't just limit themselves to once a year. Nope, you get to see Donatella Versace in all of her Janice from the Muppet Band glory all summer long. But I guess this is OK too. Vanity Fair's most recent Style issue features supermodel, Gisele Bundchen on the cover, and in loads of pictures throughout the mag, even though she and her Patriots quarterback boyfriend were nowhere to be seen on the magazine's Best Dressed Couples List. I'm sure they're both wiping their tears with million dollar bills. As for those Hollywood couples who did make the list, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Brangelina, and newly transplanted Beckhams were all lauded in the issue for their fashion sense. What? No Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil or Pete Doherty and Kate Moss? Or maybe VF's saving those four for their Best-Dressed/Drug-Addled Couple. Pretty much, whoever manages not to get blood on their wife-beater on any given day, wins.
More of David and Victoria after the jump.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Dear Dr. I recently started a dexamphetamine (called Attentin here in Germany, similar to Dexedrine in the US) therapy for my quite recently diagnosed ADD (at the moment 2,5 mg per day..which is a very low dose). Besides the fact that I in general very much benefit from it while it lasts, however when it starts to wear off the rebound effect is making me far too edgy and nervous (including heart palpations etc., especially also after I wake up in the morning and smoke my first cigarette) I am now looking for an additional med which might help me to make the rebound effect more smooth and might also help me to stay calm and less anxious in general as well as taking out any cardiovascular and sleep inhibiting side effects. So let's say something for the evening or late afternoon to come down a little bit without becoming a "zombie". I sometimes took some benzos here and there when I was too nervous or couldn't sleep...how ever I know that taking them is probably not the right solution especially not long term. I also have Tianeptine at home but I don't know if it's the right thing when taking amphetamines because of possible interactions...so I didn't take it yet. I would appreciate your suggestion on which medication might be the right one for this purpose (besides the regular do more sports and relaxation techniques etc.) and your opinion on taking Tianeptine together with amphetamines. In an ideal world those meds should be available in Europe. Many Thanks in advance Best Regards
Hello ! Thank you for your question, I'm Dr. Vikas (M.D Psychiatry) and I'll try to help you today.
Attentin (Atomoxetine) is used for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but it is totally different medicine when compared with Dexamphetamine (Dexedrine). Can you please check your medicine again and let me know what exactly it is.
Thanks for your reply. Please accept my apology for the delay in replying back. I have gone through the website and it is indeed Dexamphetamine.
You have already mentioned that you are on a comparatively low dose so increasing the dose further by your doctor should help both in controlling the A.D.H.D symptoms as well as depressive symptoms because this medicine can also help in lifting mood. Immediate release Dextroamphetamine has 3-6 hours of clinical action while sustained-release dextroamphetamine has up to 8 hours of clinical action. So if you are taking immediate release preparation, you can also ask your doctor to shift you on sustained released preparation.
Heart palpitations, nervousness, dizziness, tremor are some of the notable side effects of this medicine and they usually subside within 2-4 weeks. Sustained release preparation can help in controlling these side effects also.
Now regarding Tianeptine, if you didn't find it useful earlier, I don' think it is going to be of much use this time also in combination with Amphetamine.
Although you have already tried SSRI antidepressants but in my view, you can again discuss with your doctor about trying a low dose of Escitalopram 5 mg with Dextroamphetamine. Escitalopram can control depression and anxiety symptoms very effectively and being an activating antidepressant will not cause sedation during the day time.
would like to know your views on my suggestion.
Many thanks for your reply and also sorry for my delayed answer.
Unfortunately there is no sustained release amphetamine available in Germany. I have also tried Escitalopram quite a while ago (without taking amphetamines at that time) and it was definitely not for me because I didn't feel well taking it due to many reasons related to the side effects.
The heart palpitations I sometimes get from taking Attentin are mostly when the amphetamine starts to wear off. So my questions still remains.
What med could you recommend more as a kind of a downer and against anxiety for the time when Attentin starts to wear off which is mainly in the evening?
Are there any known interactions between amphetamines and Tianeptine?
This med shouldn't be either SSRI nor belonging to benzodiazepines and should not have any big interactions with amphetamine
Your feedback is kindly appreciated

This article, entitled Best Pencil Sharpener EVER!, comes from Dawn Wells at Blogging Mom of 4.
Disclosure: I received the best Pencil Sharpener ever from Classroom Friendly Supplies, for review purposes only. All opinions are my own.
No matter if your kids are in home school, private or public school, you may have run into the same issue I have. Never being able to really sharpen a pencil.
I have bought so many different pencil sharpeners only to get the same results. The pencil sharpener always ends up eating the pencils and never actually sharpens it. It's so frustrating.
I saw this pencil sharpener and needed to give it a try.
Let me tell you, this really is the best pencil sharpener ever! The day we got it, we tried it…loved it…and then sharpened every pencil in the house! ;) Unless you've been fighting with you pencil sharpener, you may not understand what I'm talking about or why I'm in love with this pencil sharpener. It's just one of those things where I'm wondering where it's been all my life.
Too cheesy for you?
Next time you're looking for a pencil sharpener, check this one out. It comes highly recommended by this mom.

First cup of this last night was a no-no. I admit that I felt a little trepidation before trying a sip, and I proved myself right because in the end it wasn't a cup I could finish.
I love the secnt of this tea dry. The chocolate is the thing I can smell the most, so I was hoping that I'd get a strong chocolate taste accompanied by a very spicy chai blend. I like spicy things, so I was figuring this would be right up my street. I gave this about four minutes in boiling water, and added a fair splash of milk.
Unfortunately, that's where things started to go wrong, because all I can taste is cayenne pepper. NOTHING else. There's no chocolate, no other spices, not even any black tea. Just cayenne pepper. It's not painful, but it's the kind of spice that sticks at the back of the throat and makes you cough. Unpleasant. I would have put up with it if there'd been other flavours, but there weren't. Down the sink it went.
So. Either I need to adjust the way I brew this, or it's just really not the tea for me. I'm going to try again with a smaller cup, a shorter brew time, more milk, and maybe some sugar. I might even try putting it in a t-sac or something, to try and keep back some of the cayenne pepper. I really want to like this, but I want to taste chocolate and spice as well as the cayenne heat.
We'll see how the next cup goes. For now, though…ugh. Sad face.

Sales of new cars and light trucks in the United States in the first six months of this year rose 7.7 percent from a year earlier to 7,829,141 units, the highest since the same period in 2007, before the global financial crisis, according to data released Tuesday by a U.S. research firm.
June sales were also solid, rising 9.2 percent from a year earlier to 1,404,434 units, the highest for June in six years, Autodata Corp. said. The monthly figure translates into an annualized 15.96 million units after seasonal adjustments, up 650,000 from the previous month.
This indicates a steady expansion of the U.S. car market. In line with a gradual U.S. economic recovery, U.S. automakers, which are leaders in high-priced large vehicles such as pick-up trucks, posted strong gains.
In the January-June period, General Motors Co. topped the sales charts with 1,420,346 units, up 8 percent. Ford Motor Co. ranked second, gaining 13.1 percent to 1,289,736 units. Toyota Motor Corp. was third with sales of 1,108,791 units, up 6 percent.
Chrysler Group LLC was fourth with 886,720 units, up 9 percent, followed by Honda Motor Co. with 745,578 units, up 6.4 percent, and Nissan Motor Co. with 624,709 units, up 8.1 percent.
The top six rankings were unchanged from the previous year.
Analysts say they don't see much that could slow the sales momentum of the first six months. The factors that juiced sales — low interest rates, wider credit availability, rising home construction and hot new vehicles — are likely to remain in place. So far, hiccups in the stock market, higher taxes and fluctuating gas prices haven't dampened demand.
"I think the fundamentals for continued growth in the new vehicle sales industry are intact," Chrysler's U.S. sales chief, Reid Bigland, said last week.
In June, GM sold 264,843 units, up 6.5 percent, the highest since September 2008. Ford came second with 234,917.

Statement from mom of accused killer of teacher
The mother of the 14-year-old Danvers boy accused of murdering his 24-year-old math teacher is speaking out through her attorney, saying in a statement today that she loves her son and her "heart is broken'' for the victim's family.
"On October 22, 2013, two families were unexpectedly and inconceivably changed forever,'' said the statement from attorney Denise Regan on behalf of Diana Chism. "Ms. Chism's heart is broken for the Ritzer family and the loss of their daughter and sister Colleen Ritzer.
The statement said Chism "would like you to know that her son was born in love and is dear to her, very dear. She is struggling to understand this and respectfully asks for some time to process this.''
Chism asked for prayers on behalf of Ritzer's family, the Danvers community, her son, and "all those affected by this tragedy.''
Philip Chism, a new student and junior varsity soccer player at the school, was charged as adult and is being held without bail in the murder of Colleen Ritzer. Ritzer's body was dumped in the woods behind Danvers High School Tuesday, and police have said she was stabbed and cut with a box cutter, possibly in a school bathroom.
The motive for the killing remains unknown, investigators said.
The murder of Ritzer, a well-liked teacher, has prompted an outpouring of shock, grief, and support in Danvers, where students and others have held candlelight vigils in her honor.
Calling hours for Ritzer are scheduled from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday at St. Augustine Church in Andover, where a funeral Mass will be said at 10 a.m. Monday.
Friends and relatives of Chism in his native Clarksville, Tenn., told the Globe that Chism was upset over having to move to Massachusetts with his mother and sisters this summer, but described him as sweet and polite.
Public records show Chism's parents filed for divorce, and said his father's access to his children was to be restricted because of "physical abuse, sexual abuse, or a pattern of emotional abuse.''
The documents also contained assertions that Chism's father, Stacy Chism, was guilty of adultery and "cruel'' treatment of his spouse. The divorce was apparently never finalized.
Residents of the Riverwood Place apartment complex listed on Diana and Stacy Chism's divorce papers could not remember the couple.
Former soccer teammates playing in a tournament this morning at Heritage Park in Clarksville described Chism as a quiet boy who played a good game on the field and never mentioned any problems at home. Parents said they saw his mother at games, but said they had not met his father.
Skateboarders at a nearby park said Chism used to skate with them in downtown Clarksville.
"One of the calmest people I've known,'' said William Karpowecz, 17. "He was just a really quiet skater, he wouldn't talk to anybody unless you talked to him first.''
While other skaters lost their tempers when they missed jumps, he said, Chism stayed mellow.
"I would never think of him to like, even get in a fight with somebody,'' said Karpowecz.

Children naturally gravitate to yoga because of its interesting pose names, possibilities for fun challenges and ability to help them relax. To help kids enjoy the benefits of yoga as much as possible, teach activities in a non-demanding manner, keeping a list of alternate games in mind in case students get bored. Also, because most kids' yoga classes are between 30 to 45 minutes long, brief activities (about five to 10 minutes per game) are best.
Learning Poses
Kids love to learn new yoga poses. Try going on location as a tool to teach new asanas. For example, teach poses that relate easily to a child's daily or familiar life. Use Downward Facing Dog (body in inverted letter 'v' shape--hands on ground, stand on balls of feet) as the base pose. Move to Cat and Cow (start on hands and knees--round the back toward the ceiling for Cat and press the belly to the floor for Cow), then to Dead Bug (lie on back, reach hands between the legs and grab ankles). Chair (from standing, bend knees then sink hips back--reaching for an imaginary seat), Tree (from standing, bring one foot to the inside of the opposite leg--above or below the knee, then raise arms toward the sky like branches) and Pigeon (like splits but with one leg folded out in front of the body, shin parallel to the top-edge of mat as much as possible) make great additions to the list as well.
For adventurous kids, use Locust (lie on stomach, lift feet and chest off the floor then raise arms out to the sides or out in front of the body) as the next base pose, but call it "Super Kid" instead. Have children fly around the world to new locations like the desert, where they learn Crow (place hands on floor, knees on back of the upper arms then try to get both feet off the ground), Camel (stand on knees then bring hands to each side of the lower back--press elbows toward each other and bend upper body slightly back) and Cobra (lie on stomach, bring elbows to each side of the chest by the ribs--pull shoulders away from ears then lift chest off the ground by using lower back muscles). They can even fly into the ocean to learn Dolphin (like Downward Dog but with elbows on floor instead of hands), Fish (lie on back--slide hands, palms down, under the hips then arch the upper body toward the ceiling and bring the crown of the head lightly to the floor) and Turtle (start in straddle with knees bent, then slide arms under the knees and reach arms around the body, trying to clasp hands together behind the back).
Children might enjoy a yoga class where they can make up their own yoga poses. Give kids a moment to think of a new pose that they want to teach, then let them demonstrate and teach it to the other kids. Or, call out made-up pose names like Moose, Venus Fly Trap or Half Hippo Half Bird, for example, and then let the kids get into what they think the pose should look like.
Children also like storytelling linked into a yoga class. Read or tell a story and have students get into relevant yoga poses along the way.
Playing Yoga Games
Many common playground games are useful in a kids' yoga class setting. Adapt Four Corners, for example, with each corner working as a station for a different yoga pose. Kids have to hold the pose until the teacher calls the next number.
Use a variation of Freeze Tag in a similar way. Children run randomly around the room. The yoga teacher calls out, "freeze!" Kids must get into a yoga pose of their choosing or the teacher can call one out. Watch students and tag the first person to lose their balance as the next "it". Games such as Duck, Duck Goose, Simon Says or Mother May I adapt easily to a yoga class in similar ways.
Many instructors like yoga pose card decks, which often include game ideas. For example, have students sit in a circle. Give one card to each student. They do the pose, then pass the card to the next kid. The cards pass around until everyone finishes all the poses.
Partner Yoga
Use partner yoga poses to teach kids balance and cooperation. Kids can lean their foundational sides (the side that the body is balanced on) next to each other in Tree or Standing Pigeon (stand on one leg, then cross one ankle just above the opposite knee--sink hips toward the ground). Get kids into Warrior III (from standing, raise one leg back, then lean forward until the torso is parallel to the ground) and have them reach arms straight out until they can hold the hands of their buddy. Let them bring the bottoms of their feet together during Boat Pose (body makes a 'v' shape: start seated with knees bent and feet on floor--keep the back straight, then lean back until feet come off the floor), or perform twists back to back with kids reaching one hand to their opposite knee and the other to their partner's knee.
