...which is why I simply cut the breasts from the brace of pheasants I was presented with this week. They were given to me by my friend Neil who is one of the beaters for the Clovelly shoot. Very grateful I was too, as the pheasant shooting season came to an end on 1st February. Gifts like this are one of the benefits of living in the country. Just not if you are squeamish.
These are the birds that didn't get away. They are the unlucky ones, pan fried with a red wine, orange and ginger sauce (simply chuck it in after you've taken the breasts out and let it simmer whilst the breasts rest a while), served with fried portobello mushrooms (pan fried first with thyme in the same pan to save washing up) and a few heads of young broccoli. Took about 15 minutes, needed just two pans (one if you forego the greens) and tasted delicious. Something for the van perhaps? Keep your eyes peeled when you are out and about next on those country lanes. You know, just in case you couldn't swerve quickly enough. Nobody wants to see a perfectly good pheasant going to waste.
Also, note the Westcountry garnish: a bit of orange and some green stuff. That's flash round these parts.

The Catholic Church- and that means not only the leadership but the People of God who believe in Jesus of Nazareth and his teaching on the sacredness of life, mercy, compassion and understanding - are challenged in this day by the war on drugs. God's people in the Church needs to take a stand with and reach out to those in need of healing, care and help.
There's a tried and tested way for ordinary citizens to lawfully profit from the proceeds of corruption, while still enabling the government to recover stolen public funds.
When you come to think of it, Mary Jane Veloso, who is still - as this is being written - held captive in an Indonesian jail even as she faces execution on drugs charges, has received better treatment at the hands of her captors than thousands of Filipinos suspected of being either drug pushers or users.
With increasing frequency and magnitude, disasters and conflicts are causing untold human suffering in many parts of the world. These are as diverse as Supertyphoon "Yolanda" (Haiyan), Ebola or civil war in Syria, to name but a few of the more recent.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is thriving on controversy at the moment because those with whom he picks his fights are more controversial than he is. His chief recent targets have been the United States, whose century of colonial rule over the Philippines was marked by blood and violence, and the United Nations, where the US and other superpowers hold sway. Duterte, democratically elected on June 30, has lashed out at them both, and his people love it.

Presumptive President-elect Digong spelled out on Monday, May 16, his blueprint for fighting drugs, crime and corruption in government for his six-year term at Malacañang.
An amendment to the annual spending bill that could have prohibited young unauthorized immigrants from joining the military was defeated in the House on June 16, 2016. The House, which is led by majority Republicans, sent a strong message that not all Republicans are in support of anti-immigrant policies.

In a democracy, where we have the freedom to choose our leaders through an election, we deserve the leaders we get.
There is a wise saying, "Be careful of what you promise. People might believe it."
It is so lamentable that while our Asean neighbors and the rest of the world are steadily climbing up the economic ladder and benefiting from growing political maturity, we in the Philippines have again to go through a hotly contested, divisive political exercise that seems to have brought out the worst in us and set us back as a people. Another revolution, peaceful or violent, is bruited about as a necessary evil or as a possible offshoot of the heated collision of views and interests engendered by this year's elections.

The Positive Clinical Psychology Division of the International Positive Psychology Association is starting a new peer-reviewed publication: Clinical Applications of Positive Psychology: An International Perspective. The publication is intended to be an international forum that focuses on the intersection of positive psychology theory and research and evidence-based clinical practice. Submissions can include empirical research and integrative reviews that emphasize clinical applications (i.e., mental health prevention, treatment, and intervention), as well as clinical features (e.g., case studies, innovative clinical intervention descriptions). Submissions involving the teaching, training, and supervision of clinical applications of positive psychology are also welcome. Evidence-based book reviews involving positive psychological clinical applications will be considered as well. The newsletter will be published on a bi-annual basis, with the first issue expected this summer.

ATLANTA, Ga. – Police are searching for a man who allegedly robbed a Midtown bank on Monday.
Police say the man entered the Chase Bank on Piedmont Avenue around 3:15 p.m. and passed a hand written demand note to a teller. After obtaining an undetermined amount of cash, he fled the scene in an unknown direction.
The suspect is described as a White Hispanic male with a light complexion, mustache and stubble beard. He is believed to be between 26 and 40, with a medium build and between 5'08" and 5'10."
He was wearing dark colored pants and a gray long sleeved shirt with vertical black stripes from the front collar down to the inner sleeves. The shirt also had white horizontal stripes on the sleeves and two front pockets. He also wore a leopard pattern winter knit hat with green trim and a red colored decorative ball sewn on the top.

The gene NMA1982 from Neisseria meningitidis z2491 encodes the YP_002343251 protein, a putative tyrosine phosphatase from the DUF442 family (PF04273).
The 2f46 structure belongs to the class of alpha and beta (a+b) proteins and adopts a phosphotyrosine protein phosphatases II fold type SCOP52798. DALI top hits are with cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor-3 protein PDB:1fpz (Z=15), PDB:2i6m (Z=14), the DUF442 protein PDB:3gxh (Z=14) and the phosphatase PDB:1yn9 (Z=14). A similar structure from Arabidopsis thaliana has been determined PDB:1xri (Z=14). The phosphatase activity of the enzyme was confirmed in vitro [Ref]. The overall fold of this phosphatase resembles that of eukaryotic-like phosphatases, PTP1B in particular PDB:1pty (Z=8).
N. meningitidis is an important human pathogen responsible for causing meningitis and septicaemia, which are debilitating diseases that kill thousands of people every year. Thus, this phosphatase might be a very promising target for therapeutic intervention.

Programs for International Students
Curriculum, Instruction, and the Science of Learning (CISL)
The Curriculum, Instruction, and the Science of Learning (CISL) is a multidisciplinary doctoral degree that focuses on addressing practical educational problems through research in diverse contexts for learning and teaching. While educational programs in Curriculum and Instruction are common, our program stands out by emphasizing the Science of Learning, a 21st century approach to developing evidenced-based practice through design research. In design research, we implement innovative practice/curriculum, study the effects, and improve the implementation for further study. The field emerged out of new technological innovations but has expanded to include diverse interdisciplinary formations to create educational solutions.
This program is available on campus or online.
Academic Programs in International, Comparative, and Global Studies in Education
The Department of Educational Leadership and Policy provides a number of Ph.D. and General Master's programs and concentrations within programs dealing with international, comparative, and global studies in education. These are designed both for international students who may return to their countries of origin as scholars, policy analysts, or administrators in schools, universities, ministries, development agencies, or non-governmental organizations; or US students who may be interested in internationally-related careers in colleges or universities, international agencies, or non-governmental organizations.
- Comparative and Global Studies in Education
Comparative education (referred to as Comparative and Global Studies in Education) is a concentration within the State-approved Ph.D. Program in the Social and Philosophical Foundations in Education or the General Masters in Education. Comparative Education is an international (therefore also an intercultural) comparison of those institutions-especially schools, but also including religious establishments, community organizations. The GSE Web site for the program can be found by clicking here
- Higher Education
The scholarly study of higher education, along with Masters and Doctoral Programs in higher education, are well established at UB and at most US Universities. Graduates go on to careers in college or university administration or to related governmental and policy institutes. International graduate students (who frequently come from universities in their home countries) are often looking to careers in universities, state ministries, or development or other multinational agencies.
- Educational Administration
Educational Administration, dealing principally with elementary and secondary schools and with the preparation of their leaders and policy analysts, is also a state-approved doctoral program that attracts international students.
- Sociology of Education
Sociology of education is the largest of the concentrations within the Social and Philosophical Foundations of Education doctoral programs, and is one of the UB Graduate School of Education's most widely recognized and respected academic areas.
- The Center for Comparative and Global Studies in Education
CCGSE is a Graduate School of Education-wide center for coordinating scholarly activities, visitors, and seminars, although the focus has been primarily on the international research and activities of the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy. The principal research activity in the Center is the multi-year, Ford Foundation financed International Comparative Higher Education Finance and Accessibility Project.
Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
A master's degree in TESOL (non-certification track) is available for those not interested in certification as an ESL teacher in the State of New York. Doctoral programs in foreign and second language education are also available. These programs provide a comprehensive background in theory, practice, and research for those who aspire to academic appointments in universities or colleges, or leadership roles in school systems.
English Language Institute (ELI)
The English Language Institute offers English language instruction, cultural orientation, and preacademic training to international students, scholars, and professionals on an intensive as well as on a per-course basis. ELI conducts the Intensive English Program (IEP), which specializes in preparing students for university study in the United States; the English as a Second Language Program (ESLP), for students enrolled in academic programs at the university; a part-time Evening Program for Buffalo-area professionals, as well as overseas and customized programs offering language-learning and teacher-training opportunities both on campus and in other countries.

The Code
June 07, 2016, 05:36:31 PM »
Welcome to Nation States Africa (NSA) 2.0
The rebuilt NSA will attempt to be a more realistic simulator of the global system. This first section will be a discussion of the new direction that the Admin Staff (AS) is taking with the game. NSA has had a good run over the years. Unfortunately the player base has dwindled and the world is in a state of disarray. I think that there were a few factors that led to this. First, the African Union (AU) was disbanded. Many issues were debated within the halls of this organization: territorial disputes, social issues, conflict resolution, and others of shared concern. When the AU fell apart, players seemed to limit their interactions to bilateral engagements or solo-role playing. I even fell into this play style and, combined with real life (RL) stuff, put my NSA account on the back burner. Another issue was that the map was slow to be update. I will blame myself for this one as I was the cartographer for the last few years. I discuss my major change to this later in this post. Last, but not least, a lack of clear game rules (Code) and objectives overseen by an active AS.
The categories below discuss the rules for the game and admin functions.
NSA is an international relations simulator. Trade, war, humanitarian actions, and all other parts of the global system are available to roleplay (RP). Players can take their country in practically any direction as long as it is realistic and based on resource parameters set by the AS (can be found in the Country Factbook sub-forum). The AS will be active in player interactions as needed, such as moderating armed conflict by interpreting the outcome of military action or generating domestic events such as natural disasters. This will add the element of chance and create unbiased outcomes. The latter is most important during conflict, to include the effects of economic sanctions.
Establishing a Nation State (Country)
A player is limited to a starting country roughly the size of Ireland. Exceptions may be given if your territory covers large areas of unpopulated territory such as deserts or tundra, or you are wanting to RP a real world country or historic power. Posting in-character (IC) for your country can begin immediately after being approved for territory but a Country Factbook must be posted within two weeks of your territory approval. To note, you can request RL countries, such as Austria or Belgium and the AS will map the appropriate provinces (see my country of Adriatic Republic. I requested the RL of Croatia and Slovenia). Expanding your territory happens through roleplaying your country in the forums.
What about those empty provinces? How are those treated? Generally, players should treat empty provinces as sovereign countries and neutral in world affairs. For RP and storytelling purposes, you can treat specific provinces as needed for your needs.
Mapping the World
The map has historically been maintained by a single person. If this person goes inactive, some else starts from scratch. Single-point-of-failure mapping is no more. The entire AS (at least 3 people) will be able to edit the map. It will be Microsoft Paint friendly so edits can be made quickly and posted in a timely manner. The new map will also use RL province boundaries so that players can easily identify what cities, etc., are included in a country (with a bit of research in the case of smaller RL countries).
States must post at least once every 30 days to avoid being placed on a probationary period. After 45 days of inactivity, the AS will RP civil unrest within your state which will led to a full collapse after 75 days of inactivity (unless other players prop up your government. In this case, the player/AS will control your country until you return or until the staff disbands your country). If you will be inactive, please post the time period for your absence. The inactive effects timeline will begin two weeks after your projected return date.

I am excited to share that I have partnered up with HP and Meghan Trainor to showcase the amazing new laptop, the HP x360. Far from your ordinary laptop, the HP x360 works in 4 modes: laptop, tablet, tent and stand, PLUS has a touch screen.
Since receiving mine I have been having a bit too much fun playing around with all of the modes, my favorite being the tablet. {I take that back, I meant to say Reese's favorite mode.} We have spent endless hours watching Daniel Tiger on YouTube cozied up in bed {and the audio is amazing since it is equipped with Beats Audio}. Then the standard laptop form is great for working on my blog while the tent and stand forms are perfect for showing the latest FH tablescapes at my meetings!
On to Meghan Trainor… For those of you who don't know her, she sings super popular songs "All About That Bass" and "Lips are Movin". Her new album "TITLE" debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. So here's the cool part… this February & March, HP is going on the road with her to cover her entire US tour. From Vancouver to Nashville, they'll have a camera crew and some of their favorite Meghan Trainor fans from her "Lips Are Movin'" video to help bring the tour to life! {Total confession: I went on the site to watch a few before posting about it and literally an hour later I was like, ummm I need to get back to work… they are so fun!} You can follow along with the tour and catch behind the scenes episodes by following @HP and hashtag #BendtheRules for updates or heading to HP's site here.
So go ahead and add this laptop to your wishlist, it's one of my… I mean OUR favorite tech items for sure!

NCAA First Round Albany Great Danes vs. Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers Pick-Odds-Prediction - 3/18/14
Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers (16-16) at Albany Great Danes (18-14)
College Basketball: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 3:00 am (University of Dayton Arena)
The Line: Albany Great Danes -1 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
TV: truTV
The Mount St Mary's Mountaineers face the Albany Great Danes in an NCAA play in game Tuesday.
Mount St. Mary's got hot at the right time and that was in the NEC tourney where they upset regular season champion Robert Morris 88-71 which was the way they had to perform and that means score points because defense isn't their expertise. The Mountaineers will need to lean on their offense to make noise in the Big Dance or hope first round opponent doesn't make shots. Offense might not be a worry with the team scoring 72 points or more in four straight with Rashad Whack and Julian Norfleet averaging 17 points each to give the Mountaineers two very solid scoring options.
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sport
Albany received the automatic NCAA berth by winning the America East tournament via a 69-60 victory over second seed Stony Brook where they hit 18 straight free throws. The Great Danes had perhaps the toughest road to the conference crown by knocking off top dog Vermont as well and winning the title on the Seawolves home floor. The defense first Great Danes outscored the opposition 66-64 which means they need to control the pace and make shots which is important against first round opponent Mount St. Mary's who can light up the scoreboard. If the defense manages to keep things in the half court then star guard Peter Hooley has to match or exceed his 15.7 point average.
Whichever team controls the tempo probably wins this and as a lover of defense I automatically look at Albany. The lower the score the better...

Designer Herve Leger says he could no longer show his collections at Fashion Week because he finds today's models uninspiring compared with the likes of Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista.
Herve Leger says he could no longer show his collections at Fashion Week because he finds today's models uninspiring.
The designer - who used the likes of Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista in his high-profile presentations during the 90s - says the current crop of beauties aren't in the same league and wouldn't do his clothes Justice.
He told the Daily of Lagerfeld: "If I had to go back to catwalk presentations I would be in a panic...Already the models I find are too skinny, too sad. And I knew the age of the super top models, Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford, who were always lively and smiling. Today you go between several defiles and you will see the exact same type of girl - it just doesn't inspire me. Of course I do presentations, I do three presentations a year: spring, fall and cruise, that I show at my showroom and what I like is to have the buyers come to me. They buy, things sell well, and that really gives me The Feeling of existing for something because I know that somewhere out there in the world I have clients that adore what I'm doing and that's really reward enough."
While he's not impressed with today's models, Herve is a big fan of CHANEL designer Karl Lagerfeld because he's so inspiring to work with.
He said: "He is a genius! He is someone very wonderful. I started my career as a hair stylist, then hat maker, and then I met Karl and it was a shock. There is nobody like him. I had the chance to work very closely with him at Fendi and Chanel, and he gives everything. You just have to look at him work. We learn a lot with him...he is good at everything, it's a spirit and a vision of things, and he is very, very modern."

- For the town, see Brackenleaf.
- "Oh ho. The Briars you say? The Briars carry my heart within them. They protect it with their very lives. It's a lot to give to protect a tree, especially one as old as me."
- ―Brackenleaf[src]
Brackenleaf is a great sentient tree found in Grahtwood. The grove of Brackenleaf derives its name from him. The Brackenleaf's Briars protect him from any possible threats.
How Brackenleaf came to be is unknown, but what is known is that he is one of the great trees of Valenwood. The Briars have protected him from threats, including the Imperial Siege of Grahtwood in the First Era.[1]
Bosmer InsightEdit
The Spriggan Spirit will guide the Vestige to Brackenleaf. Brackenleaf will help them find their spiritual self by guiding them to embrace their chosen spirit animal.
- "Hm? What? You'll have to speak up. My hearing isn't what it use to be, and it was never very good to begin with. No ears, you see."
- ―Brackenleaf[src]
- Brackenleaf's voice was changed. Most likely because the original voice actor did not seem to "suit" him, as one would expect a deep voice for such a large being. The original voice can be heard in this Youtube clip.

One size fits most. Also means will not fit some. It would sure be nice if the range were given. Are these for mostly thin people, and the fat people need not buy? Please take one out of the box, and measure it then report back. My client is not most people, and this may not be a good fit. If it does not fit will you provide free shipping back for a refund?

Energy is never created or destroyed First Law of Thermodynamics, but it can be transferred from one object to another. It also comes in many different forms (kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, electrodynamic and nuclear) and can be converted from any one of these forms into any other, and vice versa. Energy can be converted from one form to another in three basic ways: through the action of forces (gravitational forces, electric and magnetic force fields, frictional forces), when atoms absorb or emit photons of light and when nuclear reaction occurs.
Typical units for mechanical energy is foot-pounds and joules, english energy is British thermal unit. \(\;Btu = \frac {ft-lbf}{J}\)
\( E = m U \;\)
\( E = F l = \frac {ml^2}{t^2} \)
\(E\) = energy
\(m\) = mass
\(U\) = internal energy
\(F\) = force
\(l\) = length

On his radio show yesterday, buff Fox News talent Geraldo Rivera discussed his decision, in the wee hours of Sunday morning, to tweet a selfie of Geraldo Rivera showing perhaps the maximum amount of skin without triggering indecency censorship. There he stands, clicking his self-portrait, a white towel over the nether regions of his abdominal devil horns, looking buff. More, in other words, than even most fans of the very buff Rivera could hope for.
Fellow Fox Newser Eric Bolling pressed the buff Rivera on why he did it, and the durable American personality went deep on his shallowness:
Hubris is when you make, when you turn life, for boredom or ambition or you just can't stand to have things organized and quiet and you kind of create a tumult in your life and I think that there I was, 2:30 in the morning on Sunday morning. You know, I do the show Saturday night, I did a great show on black-on-black crime and race relations and Trayvon Martin fallout and federal charges and a couple of things going on in these crimes in Boston, and the death of a witness in FBI custody. So I did that show and I get there and I get home and there's no one to talk to, everyone's asleep and you sit around and I had a drink, and then I — I had taken that picture Saturday morning. And I was looking at it, I was just going through and I said, "You know what, I gotta tweet this thing. I look pretty good for a 70-year-old, and I think because I'm so old, people will cut me some slack and they won't take it too seriously."
That's a fine calculation for the buff Rivera. Why, after all, would people start taking him seriously all of the sudden?
What couldn't be taken seriously was Bolling's take on the situation; for some reason, he didn't see buff Rivera's self-photo as standard modern-media narcissism. "You're Geraldo Rivera," said Bolling. "I mean, to be Geraldo Rivera is, you're kind of held to a higher standard." Damn right! Let's see a little more muscle mass on those bony shoulders!
Then Bolling raved about how intelligent the very buff Rivera is. "What you did is one of the dumbest things a smart guy could possibly do," said Bolling, clearly ignoring this statement by the buff Rivera and this statement by the buff Rivera.

Over twenty years I have been in the prophetic ministry. There have been a lot of lessons I've learned from years of ministry and surrounding myself with prophetic people. This audiobook is Volume Two of my prophetic series. You can get Volume One Increasing Your Prophetic Gift if you would like to learn to flow in a deeper level of prophetic.
This audiobook is for everyone who has been around the prophetic and has ever received a prophetic Word. I'm talking about mostly personal prophetic ministry, where someone singles you out and prophesies to you personally. This also will be a great tool for receiving a Word for a Church, City, Country or so on. This audiobook has the basic guidelines and the strategies for bringing your Words to pass.
Over the years I have received hundreds of prophecies and up through 2010 they have all come to pass. I mean that ALL my personal prophecies have been fulfilled. This is by using the guidelines and strategies in this audiobook. So fasten your seat belt as you listen to Receiving Personal Prophecy.
©2013 Bill Vincent (P)2013 Bill Vincent
"A Power Packed Book"
This is a book full of great information and was a great honour to read. It is so good to hear good hearted, common sense information and fresh revelation. Bill goes into so many things and shares that all of his personal prophecies have come to pass. Bill Hamon said the same thing in "Prophets and personal prophecy" his book. Bill Hamon said that he had received thousands of prophecies and all of them had come to pass. It is time that people stop treating personal prophecy as something cheap and learn how to have their prophecies fulfilled.
I commend this book to you
With Love

Advancing health through science, education and medicine
ACSM is fortunate to be the go-to source on sports medicine and exercise science for several national and international media outlets. You can find some of our most recent coverage below, or you can view archived articles.
When you think of a surface in the gym with lots of germs and general grossness, your first pick might be something like a locker room bench. But according to a new study, volleyballs and basketballs could also be homes for bacteria.
A recent study presented at a meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine showed that Staphylococcus aureus bacteria can survive on a sports ball for three days in typical storeroom conditions. And even if a ball is sterilized, it can accumulate the bacteria when it's used.

"A Lithuanian Love Affair" 28 August 2013 Drama
Based on a true story, this is the love affair between a Lithuanian genius and the woman and the country he adored. Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis was born into a Lithuanian peasant family in 1875. Despite his lowly origins he soon revealed himself to be a child prodigy able to both paint and compose music of startling and often frightening intensity. Soon after he was struck down by a mysterious mental illness, which would plague him for the rest of his life. During his short lifetime, Ciurlionis produced over 300 paintings and 300 musical compositions. Supporting him throughout his short and painful life was his beloved wife, Sofija Kymantaite, a journalist and political activist.

This is my new Sunday morning ritual…
Matching coupons to sale flyers, using my new Savings Notebook.
Now that I regularly get the Sunday coupon inserts for free, I've become just a teensy bit obsessed with getting free stuff with coupons. I asked my super-organized friend Rachel how she keeps all of her coupons organized, and she said that she keeps them in a binder, in trading card pages.
I already had a binder (we have a gazillion of these. How? Why?) and I found a package of 35 trading card pages for $5.79 at Wal-Mart (they're in the book and magazine section, up by the registers). Of course, I had to make a cute little cover page, because I'm just nerdy like that.
I have a zipper pouch in front, which I use to store the coupons that I've pulled for the weekly shopping trip. I clip them together by store.
I also moved my price book from the HMG, so that I can always make sure I'm getting the best deals.
I divided my coupons into three main categories: Grocery, Personal Care, and Household Supplies. Within the three categories, I have them arranged by subcategory, alphabetically (IE: Baking, Beverages, Breakfast). I put pieces of white paper between the coupon pages, because the coupons are easier to read that way.
On Sunday morning, before we head to the city for church, I take the time to check the Walgreens and CVS sale flyers, so that I can stop at these two stores before or after church. I do this because if I wait until my Tuesday shopping day, the great deals at these stores are typically cleaned out.
Here is today's really great CVS deal.
I bought:
Irish Spring Body Wash – $4.99
Colgate Max White toothpaste – $2.99
(2) Dry Idea roll-on antiperspirants – $5.98
Pantene shampoo – $3.50
Pantene conditioner – $3.50
Pantene styling gel – $3.50
Subtotal – $24.46
Minus manufacturer's coupons – ($9.25)
Minus Extra Care Bucks – ($3.00)
Total out-of-pocket (OOP) – $12.21
Extra Care Bucks earned – ($13.98)
Equals – a whole bunch of free stuff, plus $1.77 in profit!
I'm telling you, this whole coupon thing is totally addictive, and a Savings Notebook really makes finding the great deals a snap. A word of caution though – if you make one, make sure you don't leave your notebook in the cart, or on the shelf at the grocery store! I did this last week, and I drove back to the store in a freaked-out panic, afraid that I lost all of my hard work. Fortunately, my cart was still in the cart corral where I left it, with my notebook resting in the child seat. Whew!
Also, when you carry a notebook like this into the store, people might look at you like you're a freak or a weirdo, or make snarky little comments (especially if you plunk down on the floor to look for a coupon for some unexpected clearance find, which I've been known to do on occasion). However, when you save so much that a manager has to approve your transaction (this happened to me a couple weeks ago), or you get two 6-packs of Mott's applesauce cups, a head of broccoli, and a big bottle of Sauve shampoo for 43 cents, people tend to clam right up.
One guy even asked me, "So…are you one of those coupon queens?"[print-me/]

CLINTON, Miss. (WJTV) – Six Clinton High School Seniors will soon get the chance to have their voices heard in the upcoming election. Katie Weisenberger, Neil Paul, Madison Roberts, Queshaun Thurston, Madison Roberts and Michael Leech are all weighing in on two of the most memorable presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
"My opinion of this election is the 'Muppet Show.' It's too much. I was watching the debate a couple of weeks ago, and I felt like I was having high blood pressure. It was just too much going on," says Neil Paul. His classmate, Queshaun Thurston describes Donald Trump's and Hillary Clinton's debates as childish. "They're just going at each other battling, not really doing the president thing. It's more like childish bickering and stuff."
While the six may still be in high school, they're focusing on the next four years. Their concerns are like seasoned voters: abortion, the cost of college, second amendment rights and immigration. However, the excitement is nearly tangible, for the first time in their 18 years their voices count in deciding the next president of the United States. For some, it's a right of passage as an 18-year-old, for others they know it's their duty.
"It feels like I really do have a voice now and what goes on; becoming an adult. I do get to know what's going on and it does affect me you know later on as I grow up," says Weisenberger.
"It's important as a citizen to be able to vote. You're voting for the next leader of this country, and that leader has the power to do a lot of things that can change things in the future," adds Michael Leech.
For Queshaun Thurston, "I do plan to vote because everybody's voice need to be heard."
"I'm actually excited, it didn't really hit to me that I was growing up until I got my voter registration card last week and I was like 'man' like it just hits me really hard," says Paul.
"I'm really excited. Because it's my senior year and everything and I just feel like I'm growing up so much whenever I went to get my registration to vote it was just so unreal," adds Roberts.
"I feel like no matter if we're Mississippi or California when you go vote your voice matters. I believe you don't have the right to talk about the election or who you want to win if you're not going to go vote if you have the opportunity to," says Clark.

Olga Nightgowns and Vintage Lingerie
Olga Nightgowns. Ever wondered who really is OLGA? As some of her tags say, "Behind Every Olga there really is an Olga". Here at Sweet Cherry Vintage, I offer you exquisite vintage Olga nightgowns and undergarments.
It is hard to believe that the Olga Company, one of the most sought after brands in vintage (and modern) lingerie, began with a measly $10 in the forties and reached volume sales of $67 million. Well the Olga behind Olga made it happen with her incredible undergarment designs and dedication to making women feel ultra feminine and beautiful.
Olga Erteszek, designer and founder of the Olga Company, left her native Krakow, Poland and immigrated to California with her husband, Jan Erteszek, in 1939. Jan was a lawyer who found work in sales after coming to the US and Olga, whose mother was a corsetière, worked in a factory making brassieres and girdles.
Now let's not forget that during World War II, sacrifices were made. Lingerie companies were assisting in the production of parachutes for the army and fabrics were rationed. When Olga saw a woman with hosiery rolled to her knees one day on a trolley, she told her husband that women should at least have something to hold up their stockings, even with the sacrifices being made during the was. With Jan's support and encouragement, she rented a sewing machine for $5 and spent another $5 on material and sewed a dozen lace-trimmed garter belts. A buyer for Bullocks-Wilshire department store bought the garter belts, and the Olga Company began. By 1950, the company was fully established in the lingerie industry.
In the early years Olga was directing seventeen designers, making fashionable lingerie that enhanced, shaped, and smoothed a women's body. Jan was the head of marketing and sales in the Olga Company, and had Olga appear in the company's advertisements as early as 1952.
From 1964 to 1978 she was featured in advertisements with a slogan that said, "Behind Every Olga There Really Is An Olga." This tag line can also be found on the labels of nightgowns, including the 1960's Sleeping Pretty collection.
In 1967, Olga Company became a publicly owned corporation with a value of $67 million. The Olga Company was one of the first companies to offer it's employees profit sharing. They made the Fortune 500 list of best 100 companies to work for.
In 1984, Olga Company was sold to Warnaco (Warner's, etc.) for $28 million.
Olga Erteszek held the women's record for patents. Her designs included the built-in bra nightgown, the seamless bra, the massaging bra, and tummy flattening panties. Jan and Olga were honored for their community and humanitarian work and in 1985 they received the California Industrialist Of The Year award for life time achievement.
Jan Erteszek died in 1986. In 1979, at age 73, Olga dies of breast cancer. One of their daughters, Christina Johnson, is currently the design director at Warnaco for Olga's Christina, a sporty line of lingerie, which was originally trademarked by Olga Company in 1981.

Valor Fitness EF-14 Pro Leather Wood Bearing Handle Jump Rope - The classic of all jump ropes is the genuine leather jump rope. Precision ball bearings have been added in the handles for extra speed and smoothness. This skip rope has slightly contoured and polished wood handles for a comfortable grip.
Suggestions for Use:
Move 1: Basic Jump
Swing the rope over your head and jump as it passes your feet. You don't have to jump high, just enough to clear the rope. Land evenly on both feet. Continue for one minute, then rest for one minute.
Move 2: Alternate-Foot Jump
Swing the rope over your head and jump as it passes your feet. Land on your right foot. On the next rotation, land on your left. Continue this, as if you were running in place, for one minute. Rest for one minute.
Move 3: Combo Jump
Repeat the alternate-foot jump for eight turns of the rope. Next, do eight basic jumps. Continue this alternating pattern for one minute, rest for one minute, then repeat the sequence one more time.
Move 4: High Step
Repeat the alternate-foot jump, but this time raise each knee to a 90-degree angle while jumping. Continue for one minute, then rest for one minute.
Move 5: Endurance Jump
Do either the basic jump or the alternate-foot jump for five minutes. If you can't keep it up that long, start by jumping for one minute, resting for one minute, and repeating for five sets. Aim to complete at least 600 jumps total.

A professor from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is to be a guest speaker at a European conference as a reward for his dedication to teaching.
Professor James Selfe has been invited to give the keynote speech at the 20th anniversary of Satakunta University of Applied Sciences' English language physiotherapy programme.
The academic, based in UCLan's school of sport, tourism and the outdoors, has taught at the Finnish institution on an annual basis since the course's inception two decades ago.
Professor Selfe said: "I'm honoured to have been invited to give the keynote address, especially as I'll be on the stage ahead of the Finnish Minister of Education and Science Krista Kiuru."
The Pori based university created the first English Language physiotherapy programme in Scandinavia in 1994 because it noticed a large number of graduates left Finland to work in English speaking countries.
Professor Selfe said: "One of the reasons for the programme's success is that they recruited physiotherapists to teach on the programme whose first language was English.
"I've been delighted to add my experience to the physiotherapy provision over the past 20 years and am looking forward to celebrating this milestone with my lecture." He will give the talk on October 13.

Turner puts ball in Norwich's court
By Peter O`Rourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Norwich are keen to sign Bromby after his loan spell at Carrow Road expired earlier this week.
The Canaries rejected an offer from Wednesday to swap Bromby for striker David Nielsen and Turner admitted "the ball is in Norwich's court" regarding Bromby.
"Allowing Leigh to stay there until the end of the season is no good to us," Turner told the Sheffield Star. "If Norwich come up with an offer, we'd have to look at it. The ball is in their court."
Meanwhile, Wednesday have handed a trial to young defender Chris Glarvey as Turner looks to bolster his squad.
Glarvey has been playing for Wednesday's academy side and played in the reserves against Birmingham on Monday hoping to impress Turner.

Hi!!! I am new here. I am from Maryland and have 3 boys. I had been looking in Northeast Mommies, but realized they did not include Maryland. I grew up in Maryland and never considered myself from the south!!! Technically, I guess we would be considered the mid-atlantic. We live in northern maryland... about an hour north of Baltimore and not far from Delaware or New Jersey or Pennsylvania.
Yep I am in MD. Funny thing I was looking in Northeast mommies too. I dodn't consider myself southern either. I live 30 minutes from Baltimore. I have a dd almost 7 and ds almost 1.
Welcome to both of you!! There has been questions before about the states included as SOUTHERN--so this doesn't surprise me! Hopefully you will like it here and you will want to stay in the South a little :D
I am Valerie, SAHM to Troy--14 months! I am in VA
Hiya! I'm in Maryland too and totally thought of Maryland as Northeast, but I guess we are below the Mason Dixson line. I'm Rachel, mom of 3, Sarah (18), James (15) and Daniel (18 months). I live in Taneytown, Carroll County.
We are in Harford County, but I know where Taneytown is. Are you guys originally from Maryland?? I was born and raised in Harford County.
Re: New here... Anyone from Maryland????
Emmitsburg? I live in Thurmont!
I realize this thread is 4 years old, but thought I'd bump it back up.
Re: New here... Anyone from Maryland????
I was just lurking and saw this. I'm in Harford County too...
Re: New here... Anyone from Maryland????
so glad to see some moms from MD - we are in Martinsburg WV, but DH works in hagerstown and we have to go to MD for all our medical care.
Does anyone know anything about the Hospitals and ob's or midwives in MD? I am trying to dig up what I can about VBAC friendly practices, but not having much luck...
Re: New here... Anyone from Maryland????
I live in Glen Burnie, Md. DF and I are TTC #1

Analysts say it will be difficult to name the group's supporters in a region where people are divided along clan lines and the threat of al-Shabab looms over any attempt to help government agencies.

Toxicology in Vitro | Year: 2012
A previous study has shown that CTN (Citrinin) inhibits mouse testosterone production. In this study, the mechanism by which testosterone production is inhibited by CTN in rat Leydig cells was investigated, and the morphological evidence of apoptosis, including nuclei fragmentation and phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on cell surfaces, was clearly observed 36. h after CTN exposure. The results showed that citrinin at 50 and 100 μM significantly suppressed testosterone secretion by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) at 10. IU/ml. Western blotting results showed that CTN induced formation of processed p53, caspase-9, and caspase-3 proteins in a dose-dependent manner; CTN also induced a dose-dependent increase in caspase-3 catalytic activity. Western blot assays also showed that CTN decreased expression of three key enzymes (P450scc, 3β-HSD-1, and StAR) of testosterone production. Taken together, these results suggested that CTN reduced testosterone secretion by inducing apoptosis in rat Leydig cells, a mechanism that might account for CTN stimulation of p53 expression followed by activation of multiple caspases. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Applied Animal Behaviour Science | Year: 2014
Musk deer are an important economic wildlife resource, and long-term over-use has resulted in a sharp population decrease in the wild. Farming of musk deer is important to prevent the shrinking wild population from being hunted for their musk. Musk deer farming has a history of more than 60 years in China, but many problems persist. Musk deer are alert, timid and solitary in the wild, and the captive environment cannot satisfy their natural needs, leading to problems in musk deer farming. Understanding the biological characteristics of musk deer may help to identify ways for improving the welfare of farmed musk deer. In addition to gaining musk, musk deer farming can play a role in the reintroduction of musk deer, which complicates things as musk production requires tame domesticated musk deer whereas successful reintroduction requires untamed and less domesticated ones. In this article, we compare captive musk deer and wild musk deer for morphology, behavior, physiology, genetics, and nutrition, and discuss how to organize farming environment and management to satisfy biological needs of musk deer in order to improve their welfare and increase the population of farmed musk deer. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Plant Ecology | Year: 2016
Plants often have two kinds of defensive traits against animal predation: physical and chemical defenses, but the trade-off between them is heavily debated, and their impacts on relationship between plants and animals are largely unknown. We investigated seed traits of 23 tree species and their impacts on seed fates or hoarding behaviors under predation from 16 rodent species in four forest types in China. We provide clear evidence that there is a strong nonlinear trade-off between physical (as measured by seed coat thickness) and chemical (as measured by tannin content) defensive traits in seeds. This trade-off was closely associated with nutritional traits, resulting in coordinated defense syndromes in seeds. The seed fate and hoarding behavior patterns were largely determined by the trade-off-related seed traits and the body mass of rodents, respectively, not by the phylogenetic relations of species. Tree species showed more conservative evolution in seed traits of high starch content, high tannin content, and thin seed coat, but they showed more convergent/divergent evolution in seed traits of high protein content, high fat content, and thick seed coat under rodent predation. Our results suggest that trade-off-related seed traits may play a predominant role in shaping the relationship between plants and animals. © 2016 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht

Context Mutualistic interactions between animals and plants shape the structure of plant-animal systems and, subsequently, affect plant-community structure and regeneration. Aims To assess the effects of plant and rodent functional traits on the formation of mutualistic and predatory interactions regarding seed dispersal and predation in a warm-temperate forest. Methods Seed scatter-hoarding and predation by six sympatric rodent species on seeds belonging to five sympatric tree species were tested under enclosure conditions. Key results Functional traits (i.e. rodent body size and seed traits) are important to mutualism/predation in this seed-rodent system. The rodent-seed network is highly nested: large-sized rodents have mutualistic or predatory interactions with both large- and small-sized seed species, but small-sized rodents interacted with small-sized seed species only. Large seeds or seeds with hard coats enhanced mutualism and reduced predation. Conclusion Body size of rodents and seed traits such as handling time and nutritional value are key factors in the formation of mutualistic and predatory interactions within seed-rodent systems. Implications To promote seedling establishment in degenerated forests, introducing or protecting large-sized scatter hoarders and reducing the density of pure seed eaters are needed. © 2015 CSIRO.

By using e-Science information technology, an investigation was made on the hatching · behavior of relict gull (Larus relictus) in the Hongjiannao of Shannxi Province, Northwest China from May to June, 2012. The diurnal hatching rhythms at different hatching stages were as the follows. At daytime, the times of exchanging hatching at the early, medium, and late stages of hatching averaged 6.40±0.45 (n = 68), 2.20±0.12 (n = 66), and 1.81±0. 10 (ra = 48), the changes of sitting nest direction averaged 35. 34±2. 12 (n = 68), 18. 73±0. 85 (n = 66), and 15. 17±0. 75 (n = 48), and the times of turning eggs over averaged 10. 81 ±0. 50 (n = 68), 10. 14±0.55 (n = 66), and 8. 65±0.51 (n = 48), respectively. At night, the times of exchanging hatching averaged 2. 37 ±0.20 (n = 62), 0.52±0.06 (n = 60), and 0.53±0.07 (n = 47), the changes of sitting nest direction averaged 16. 16±0. 67 (n = 62), 4.28±0.31 (n = 60), and 3. 87±0.34 (n = 47), and the times of turning eggs over averaged 6.58±0.40 (n = 62), 4.22± 0. 30 (n = 60), and 3.26±0.22 (n = 47), respectively. On the days with strong wind and heavy rain, there existed significant differences in the times of exchanging hatching, the changes of sitting nest direction, and the times of turning eggs over at the same hatching stages, as compared with those on fine days. The time intervals of exchanging hatching by the parents were mainly 04:00-06:00, 08:00-10:00, and 12:00-14:00. At the late stage of hatching, the duration of sitting nest by the parents was as long as 601.14±31.16 min (n = 56). It was suggested that the parents controlled the egg temperature via regulating the diurnal hatching rhythm to assure the normal development of egg embryo during daytime and night.
