text: On my Droid X on the default email app that is provided on the Droid X I have my Yahoo email account on there. Well it seems that I am receiving my emails extremely late. For example they aren't delivering right as they get to my Yahoo mail account. I'll receive 15 - 20 emails that I was supposed to get yesterday today. I have Push enabled but it seems like that makes it worse. It seems as if it would be better to have Fetch enabled then I could at least get my email every 15min. However I'd like to receive it instantly. The reason for this is in case I receive an email from a friend or someone I can reply back instantly and be able to keep a conversation going or if I get a facebook notification I can respond to that instantly. The facebook app on my Droid X doesn't even give me notifications like it says it should. So I pretty much have to rely on my email for that. So is there anything I can do to fix this?

C.D.3: Israel slams Lally over ties to Texas Gov. Rick Perry
Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) took aim Monday at GOP opponent Grant Lally's ties to Gov. Rick Perry, as the Texas Republican faces abuse of power charges.
Israel's campaign released a YouTube video where Lally touts to the audience at a Republican primary forum that he served as New York vice-chair for Perry's 2012 Republican presidential bid.
"I think he's done a great job down in Texas," Lally told the audience. "I thought he was the strongest candidate we had that year."
Last Friday, Perry was indicted by a Texas grand jury on two counts he abused his power by vetoing $7.5 million in funding for a public integrity unit run by Democratic Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, after she refused calls to resign when she was convicted of drunken driving .
"It comes as no surprise that Grant Lally, with his history of illegal campaigning and [Federal Elections Commission] fines, would hold Governor Perry in such high regard," Israel said in a news release, referring to a $280,000 fine Lally paid in 1998 after his failed 1994 bid for Congress.
"You cannot take Grant Lally seriously when he is more interested in propping up Rick Perry's campaigns than he is in explaining his $280,000 FEC fine," Israel said.
Lally ran unsuccessfully against Democratic Rep. Gary Ackerman in 1994 and 1996. In 1998, he was fined for accepting illegal campaign donations during the 1994 election, and falsely reporting them. Lally has said he paid the fine because it would have cost him more in legal fees to defend himself against a lengthy auditing process.
In an e-mail response Lally said Israel "should apologize for his cheap showboating and focus on the issues"
"It is a sad state of affairs that Steve Israel is so busy cheering dirty politics by Texas Democrats that he hasn't got time to deal with real problems and far more serious questions right here in New York," Lally said.
He continued to express his support for Perry, saying he "should be able to follow the Constitution without being subjected to this sort of nonsense."
At a Saturday press conference, Perry defended his actions, saying he "wholeheartedly" stands by his decision to remove the corruption unit's funding as long as it was tied to Lehmberg, whom he had "lost confidence in."
Lally noted that Democrats including former senior Obama advisor David Axelrod and Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal have questioned whether the charges have any merit.
Axelrod on Saturday wrote on his Twitter account : "Unless he was demonstrably trying to scrap the ethics unit for other than his stated reason, Perry indictment seems pretty sketchy."

Warhol's Unforgettable Image
International auction houses will offer a packed program of contemporary art in London next week. Benchmark sales take place at Phillips de Pury (June 27-28), Christie's (June 28-29) and Sotheby's (June 29-30).
Gracing the cover of Phillips de Pury's opening-night catalog is a rare self-portrait from 1985 by Jean-Michel Basquiat depicting the American artist, who died tragically young at the age of 28, as a dread-locked and ghostly figure with hollow eyes (estimate: £2 million-£3 million). Another major work of the evening will be "O Moderno" (2002) by Brazil's Beatriz Milhazes, a decorative and colorful painting filled with flowers, dots and swirls (estimate: £650,000-£750,000).
Paintings by Francis Bacon carry the highest estimates of the week. At Christie's, his "Study for a Portrait" (1953), a commanding image of a suited man with a disdainful gaze seated on a gilded armchair, is expected to fetch around £11 million. At Sotheby's, Bacon's "Crouching Nude" (1961), a distorted, animalistic female figure in a relaxed pose, is estimated at £7 million-£9 million. Both works will appear at auction for the first time.
Another British highlight at Christie's will be Lucian Freud's "Woman Smiling" (1958-59). It's hard to describe a portrait by Mr. Freud as delightful, but this gentle picture in which the sitter seems to enjoy a secret joke certainly is. The sitter is his lover Suzy Boyt (estimate: £3.5 million-£4.5 million).
The Christie's sale also includes five works on paper by Mr. Freud from the collection of Kay Saatchi, the ex-wife of art patron Charles Saatchi. They also show the artist's rarely-seen softer side. In drawings from 1944, a rabbit sleeps peacefully on a chair (estimate: £300,000-£400,000); in another a cat curls up peacefully on a pillow (estimate: £100,000-£150,000).
Another highlight of the week will be the Duerckheim Collection, described by Sotheby's as the most significant collection of contemporary German art of the 1960s and '70s ever to come to auction. The collection illustrates the "new beginning of art in Germany after the war," says Cheyenne Westphal, Sotheby's chairman of Contemporary Art Europe.
The 59 works, which are expected to fetch more than £33 million were assembled by Count Christian Duerckheim-Ketelhodt over a 30-year period. Paintings include "Spekulatius" (1965) by Georg Baselitz of a male figure symbolizing the vanquished survivors of a devastated postwar Germany (estimate: £2 million-£3 million). Carrying the same estimate is Gerhard Richter's "Telefonierender" (1965), of a blurred man on the telephone. "Dschungel" (1967), an illusionary painting of a jungle constructed with dots, is considered one of Sigmar Polke's most important works (estimate: £3 million-£4 million).
A further highlight at Sotheby's stars Andy Warhol's "Debbie Harry" (1980), a portrait of the American rock band's Blondie's lead singer (estimate: £3.5 million-£5.5 million). Shown with shocking pink hair, seductive red lips and arresting blue eyes, the singer is an unforgettable image. Ms. Westphal describes the picture as "the ultimate culmination of Warhol's exploration of our public fascination with female cultural icons."
Sotheby's also will auction seven artworks from the collection of Dave Stewart of the British pop-rock duo Eurythmics. One is "Dantrolene (Being God for Dave)" (1994), painted by Damien Hirst in response to Mr. Stewart's song "Damien Save Me," which recounts how they met and which featured on Mr. Stewart's solo album "Greetings from the Gutter," released in 1995 (estimate: £600,000-£800,000).
Among fun items will be "Big Baby" (1996) by Ron Mueck from the Kay Saatchi collection. The Australian artist is famous for his hyper-realistic, human figures; in this case an oversized baby looking over its shoulder in surprise (£600,000-£800,000).

Hamlet Early Origins
Sussex. The name Hamlet, like many surnames, began as a personal name, in this case a variation on the more common name Hammond or as "the son of Hamon." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Bardsley, C.W, A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames: With Special American Instances. Wiltshire: Heraldry Today, 1901. Print. (ISBN 0-900455-44-6) The surname was derived from Haimo, a Germanic shortened form of any of several names beginning with "haim," an old German word meaning "home." The fact that the first bearer of the name chose a personal name for his surname may indicate that he was related to someone of the name or that it was the name of the lord to whom he owed allegiance, or it may have been an arbitrary choice. The name was also frequented in Cheshire and Lancashire as the Wills at Chester will attest with the entry of Ellen Hamlett, of Roby, Lancashire in 1685. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Hamlet Spelling Variations
Hamlet Spelling Variations
Norman surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. The frequent changes in surnames are largely due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England, as well as the official court languages of Latin and French, also had pronounced influences on the spelling of surnames. Since medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings. The name has been spelled Hamlet, Hamlett, Hamblet, Hamblett and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families emigrated to North American colonies in order to escape the political chaos in Britain at this time. Unfortunately, many English families made the trip to the New World under extremely harsh conditions. Overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the stormy Atlantic. Despite these hardships, many of the families prospered and went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the United States and Canada. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the name Hamlet or a variant listed above:
Hamlet Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Hamlet Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Hamlet Settlers in United States in the 20th Century
Hamlet Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Hamlet Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century

TOCO TOUCAN Ramphastos toco. The largest member of the toucan family.
"After completing two fairly short internal flights, we arrived in a sunny and warm Cuiaba late afternoon, leaving behind a very damp Rio de Janeiro replete with its Brown Boobies, Black Vultures and Magnificent Frigatebirds, which were seemingly everywhere!
Our first taste of Mato Grosso birding was in the form of a night walk where we spent a few hours birding the reserve and nearby fields at Serra das Araras. The ponds contained a selection of amphibians including huge Cane Toads and several beautifully marked frogs, whilst nearby Least Grebes appeared briefly in the torch-beam before diving out of sight.
Heading along the reserve track produced our first surprise of the night. A superb Brazilian Tapir moving through the dry vegetation around us, and giving great views. What a start!
Nearby at a small copse we heard four species of owl including Black-banded, Ferruginous Pygmy and Spectacled, with the fourth. Tawny-bellied Screech, the only one to show itself. In the distance the loud ringing calls of Laughing Falcons rang out and we headed for our beds, full of anticipation regarding what surprises awaited us the next day.
The following morning the reserve itself was heaving with birds. The Laughing Falcons we'd heard the previous evening were perched out in full view and we had great views of Greater Rhea feeding in the long grass early on. This was followed shortly afterwards by a noisy close-range fly past by the impressive Red and Green Macaws, several elegant Plumbeous Kites and the first of several Black-tailed Trogons. Two White-eared Puffbirds perched sentinel-like and a soaring Grey-headed Kite showed well. Toco Toucans are always great to see and we were entertained by a pair which gave us great close-up views whilst a group of three confiding Brown Jacamars were also superb, fly-catching from low branches. A Moustached Wren appeared close-by in low vegetation whilst higher up in the canopy its cousin, the Thrush-like Wren, was as vocal as always. Nearby, a good selection of woodpeckers were seen included Green-barred, Yellow-fronted, nesting Little and the beautiful White.
New birds came thick and fast here with Blue-crowned Trogon noted as well as the highly entertaining Chestnut-eared and Lettered Aracaris which, like most Toucans, don't appear that well designed for flying - carrying such a huge bill must weigh them down and surely have an effect on their aerodynamics. Onto our next sighting when in quick succession a Buff-throated Woodcreeper flew-in and perched whilst the ultra-vocal Great Antshrike eventually showed itself in a thick tangle. White-throated Kingbird and both Black-crowned and Masked Tityras also allowed a close approach as did a superbly confiding male Barred Antshrike; pumping his tail enthusiastically as he gave his chuckling, almost kookaburra-like call.
Checking out the wetlands produced a whole host of great birds including Cocoi, Capped, Striated and Rufescent Tiger Herons, Green and Bare-necked Ibis, a family of Least Grebes, Green and Amazon Kingfishers, Southern Screamer, White-rumped and Solitary Sandpipers, and lots of White- faced Whistling Ducks. A little further on an Armadillo (probably Nine-banded) dashed across the track and was only seen by a lucky few, whilst we watched Buff-necked Ibis and Whistling Heron feeding in the stubble.
Back on the forest edge, raptors started to become active as the day warmed. Firstly a beautiful Gray Hawk, then a Gray-headed Kite alongside several Roadside Hawks, up-to seven Swallow- tailed Kites and two King Vultures joined the numerous Black, Turkey and Lesser Yellow-headed Vultures, all of which were dwarfed by the huge Jabiru which soared high above us on beautifully snow-white wings. A little further on, stunning views of two Turquoise Tanagers feeding low in a palm tree, and a surprise in the form of a Bare-necked Umbrellabird flying past. Another Barred Antshrike showed well and a pair of Burrowing Owls stared sternly, watching us, as we watched them. Heading from the woodland towards the lodge we enjoyed great views of two more White Woodpeckers, duetting Rufous Hornero and numerous Red-shouldered Macaws. The open areas held Magpie Tanager, Guira Cuckoo and American Kestrel, whilst a small pool held Black-backed Water Tyrant, Wattled Jacana and a single Scaled Dove.
Working our way along to 'The Gateway to the Pantanal' - the famous Transpantaneira Road, we clocked up more exciting species. Both Green and Buff-necked Ibis showed well on roadside wetlands as well as the first of many Limpkins, Rufescent Tiger Herons and a couple of Jabiru. A Blue and Yellow Macaw by the roadside was a brief but welcome addition to the checklist. Just a shame it was beside a busy road with nowhere safe to turn (or park).

Quader blames radical forces for Liton killing
Ruling Awami League general secretary on Sunday blamed the radical forces for the killing of Gaibandha lawmaker Manjurul Islam Liton.
"The Gaibandha-Sundarganj lawmaker was killed in a planned manner. It seemed that the fundamentalists were behind the murder," Quader told reporters at a briefing after the meeting.
"Fundamentalist groups will have to pay the price heavily," he said.
The AL spokesperson came up with the observation after a meeting of party secretaries at party president Sheikh Hasina's political office at Dhanmondi in the capital.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said when the people were in a mood to celebrate the New Year, the barbarous attack was made on the lawmaker of Gaibandha-1 constituency.
Liton was shot thrice by the assailants at his home in Bamondanga of Sundarganj upazila around 6:00pm on Saturday.
Three unknown youths riding a motorcycle stormed the MP's house and shot him when he was in his guest room.
He was rushed to the Rangpur Medical College and Hospital in a critical condition but the doctors failed to resuscitate him.
The AL general secretary also condemned another attack on AL Khulna city unit publicity and publication secretary ZA Mahmud.
AL central leaders, including Ahmed Hossain, Enamul Haque Shamim, Mahibul Hasan Chowdhury, Abdus Sobhan Golap, Sujit Roy Nandi and Delwar Hossain were present at the briefing.
Meanwhile, a party delegation led by its joint general secretary Jahangir Kabir Nanak visited the constituency of the late lawmaker.
Nanak termed the attack a bid to hinder Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's move to combat militancy.
"The murder of Liton is unfortunate. When Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was trying to free the nation from militancy at that moment the attack was made," he said.
"The attackers will be brought to book soon," he added.
A parliament secretariat press release said the namaj-e-janaza of the Gaibandha MP will be held at the South Plaza of Jatiya Sangsad at 10:00am.
After the janaza, the body will be taken to Gaibandha where he will be buried at his family graveyard.

Weighing up Africa's issued Eurobonds
by June 19, 2014 10:47 am0
This has seen a surge in borrowing by sub–Saharan African countries.
The Eurobond is issued by the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The lender, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused solely on the private sector in developing countries.
South Africa, Angola, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, and Zambia have been able to raise funds in international debt markets. Kenya is the latest to follow this trend.
(READ MORE: Effects of the Eurobond on the Kenyan shilling)
Kenya has secured bids worth 8.8 billion US dollars counter to the government's target of 2 billion US dollars, making it the largest debut for an African country in the sovereign bond market.
"It has been a long time coming. Kenya has been waiting since the end of last year for this Eurobond issuance. There were some problems in the country that needed to be addressed before the issue could go ahead," Roy Daniels, Head of Africa trading at RMB told CNBC Africa.
The East African nation is looking to help seal the budget deficit of 4.7 billion US dollars and invest in transport and energy infrastructure with the Eurobond sale.
Kenya has been planning its first sovereign 10-year dollar-denominated Eurobond but the issuance has been delayed repeatedly by international market instability and also legal setbacks.
"When people are looking for investment of this Eurobond, they are looking for sound fiscal policy, they are looking for growth, they are looking for countries which are making steps towards infrastructure bolds and this is what Kenya is doing and why it is so attractive," Daniels said.
According to Mark Bohlund Senior Economist sub-Saharan Africa at IHS, the issue is attracting high demand because it comes in two tenors in spite of a terror attack that killed at least 60 people in Kenya's coastal city on Sunday and Monday night.
"The five year maturity and the 10 year maturity have allowed investors with different maturity preferences to invest in the bond," Bohlund said.
African countries have been able to sell bonds at lower interest rates compared to European countries
The factors that are thrusting the sale of the Eurobond by African countries include flexibility by IMF limit on borrowing at unsubsidized for low income countries, reduced debt impediments, large borrowing needs and the low borrowing costs.

Betting Match Preview: Fiorentina v Liverpool (Champions League)
Fiorentina v Liverpool, Champions League, September 29, 2009
Fiorentina 11/4; Draw 11/5; Liverpool 5/6
Having seen off Hungarian minnows Debrecen in the last round, Rafa Benitez's side head to the Stadio Artemio Franchi knowing a win in Italy will put a six point gap between them and their hosts.
The Viola qualified for the Champions League group stages on away goals in a two-legged tie against Sporting Lisbon and despite the loss to Lyon in the first group game have begun the new Serie A season in decent form.
Their 1-0 win over Livorno on Saturday was their fourth victory in six games and it was fitting that their goal scorer was Stevan Jovetic (pictured) who has been their main man this season. The playmaker from Montenegro is maturing into one of the finest attacking players in Europe and will likely be the man Liverpool have to stop.
Fiorentina will be reliant on Jovetic and former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu more than ever as serial goal scorer Gilardino will miss the match due to a two-game ban handed out to the Italian striker for an elbow on Jeremy Toulalan in Matchday 1. (Fiorentina are 14/1 to win both halves.)
Much of the pre-match prattle will concentrate on Mutu with the Romanian striker still struggling to cope with the fact that he has to pay over 15 million pounds to Chelsea for what some wags have claimed to be the "most expensive line of coke ever.â€
It will come as no surprise that the 30-year-old striker has struggled somewhat this season, scoring just one goal so far. Mutu has admitted that the fine is troubling him off the field: "Away from the pitch I'm not OK, how could I be? That fine is a very particular thing which affects me on a very personal level. I think I have amply paid for an error of youth which is light years away from the man and footballer I am now."
So, how he reacts on Tuesday night against an English team remains somewhat open to question. Over the years though Mutu has reserved some of his best performances for the big occasion and he could be relishing the opportunity.
Elsewhere the home side will be hoping goalkeeper Sebastien Frey is on top form as the eccentric French keeper has during his career produced some incredible saves. Former Juventus midfielder Cristiano Zanetti will also be hoping to roll back the clock with a dominant performance against Mascherano and Lucas. (Fiorentina are 11/4 to keep a clean sheet.)
Following their 6-1 win over Hull (Liverpool are 100/1 win 6-1 again), confidence should be high in the Liverpool dressing room and over the years Rafa Benitez has perfected a narrow win in tough away Champions League fixtures such as this one.
Fernando Torres with five goals in his last two games is on fire but with El Nino leading the line it could be one of the deep lying attackers such as Steven Gerrard or Dirk Kuyt that could get the crucial goals. (Liverpool are 2/1 to score in both halves.)
Liverpool's defence has looked shaky this season and Fiorentine will come out with all guns blazing and the movement of Mutu and Jovetic could be difficult to deal with. Nevertheless, Rafa Benitez's team are better suited for this match than the home game with Debrecen and will likely show their class in the Champions League once again.
101gg predicts: Fiorentina 1 – Liverpool 2 (7/1)
Fiorentina 11/4; Draw 11/5; Liverpool 5/6
Full match odds here.

The committee, which had opposed the expulsion of its representative, Baskin g Ridge resident Paul Kopp, met with Kopp in a brief closed session last Thursday but took no action because Township Attorney John Belardo was away on vacation, according to Mayor William Holmes. "I would like to talk to John Belardo," Holmes said. "We will talk about another representative or what to do.
"Probably in the next few weeks, we will bring the subject up again and maybe come up with somebody," the mayor added. "Unfortunately, it didn't work out. We 'll have to take our medicine and find someone else to handle our affairs."
Kopp was removed by the coalition, a rail passengers' advocacy group, in a 7-2 vote, with abstention, at a meeting in Millburn on July 23 after the collapse of a compromise agreement between the township and the coalition.
Kopp has accused NJ Transit of trying to instigate his removal for fighting to s ave the Somerset Hills Express. He contends that his efforts led NJ Transit to threaten a cutoff of information to the coalition as long as he remained a member.
The coalition had planned to oust Kopp on June 25 but backed off at the urging o f Holmes and Belardo. The township and the coalition then struck an agreement in which Kopp would stay on so long as NJ Transit didn't object and promised not t o reduce its flow of information to the coalition.
While Belardo said NJ Transit later made those assurances, the coalition claimed it never received them in writing. In addition, coalition chairman David Peter Alan said Kopp's pledge not to talk to the media was broken when Belardo, his representative, was quoted in a daily newspaper.
After Kopp was removed, Belardo wrote an Aug. 3 memorandum to the Township Committee in which he said the actions of the coalition "are completely dishonest and violate the spirit of the settlement agreement."
Alan countered with a statement on Monday. It said, in part, "Mr. Belardo does not appear to understand the plain meaning of our opinion that it was his own conduct that contributed to Mr. Kopp's explusion."
Kopp continued to blame NJ Transit for his ouster in an interview last Friday, saying its role "is one of damage control and restricting the flow of information to the public."
The coalition, he said, has placed "huge prohibitions" on itself at the behest of NJ Transit. "This is no longer an advocacy group because you can't do anything," he said. "I believe people in the Gladstone Branch and the Somerset Hill s will have to look elsewhere to get representation."
Alan, in his statement, didn't see it that way.
"The members of the Lackawana Coalition are independent and civic-minded volunteers, who work toward better rail service for our entire region, including Bernards Township," he wrote.
"We have no personal animosity toward Mr. Kopp, but we are not required to risk any further damage that he or his attorney might cause," Alan added. "We merely wish to conclude this matter, and turn our full attention again to improving our region's rail service."

Not suprisingly, I've been pretty busy the last week or so.
Damn near all of my time recently has been taken up by my job hunt and just all around hacking. I'm very happy with that, though. The job search is going well. I've had one phone interview, a follow-up interview tommorow, and another phone interview on friday.
In preparation for past and upcoming interviews, I've been putting myself through quite the brain-exercise routine. From reading to coding and pentesting, its been great.
The morning of my first interview, I challenged myself to cracking a box that I have an account on and is owned by some friends. I didn't know if I'd be able to do it or not, but despite the fact that it was fully updated, I still cracked this Redhat 9 box in an hour or so. How'd I do it? See the details of the hack. Following that hack, I helped the guys lock things down a bit more. Although it was much tighter, I still walked right through the front door again a day or so later. This time it was through some poorly written PHP code. Once inside, I took advantage of the misconfigured LDAP server and stole the entire database.

This morning I was faced with a situation where I wanted to prove that a mysql database that still has the 'test' database available can easily be used as a warez server or as a file upload/download vector on possibly heavily fortified hosts. I tossed together mtp, or the mysql transfer protocol, and now I'm currently storing my favorite mp3s in your database. nanananananah!
My disappointment with Bluesocket continues. I wrote a Snort signature to detect when the Bluesocket tech support folks connect to my bluesocket box using the ssh server on port 2335. I've also further enumerated existing files and directories on the box, and I've even got one of the scripts to now crash and throw and 500 error.
Anyway, I'm off to go riding before it gets dark.
Happy hacking!

Actor Michael J. Fox is returning to TV. The new "Michael J. Fox Show" will feature a main character who struggles with Parkinson's disease.
John L. Keefe
Comments (0)
Actor Michael J. Fox is well known for his roles as Alex in the sitcom Family Ties and as Marty McFly in Back to the Future. Although he was a rising star, Fox semi-retired in 2000 when he left Spin City after symptoms of Parkinson's disease made it difficult to continue working. Since then, Fox has taken several voice-over rolls, but has not regularly appeared on screen.
This is about to change. This fall, Fox will be starring in The Michael J Fox Show. The show is a sitcom about New York news anchor Mike Henry, who decides to return to work despite his struggle with Parkinson's disease. Fifty-one-year-old Fox will play Mike Henry. Betsy Brandt, of Parenthood and Breaking Bad, will play Henry's wife.
NBC has committed to 22 episodes of the series.
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative, neurological disorder that affects nearly one million Americans. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, but did not disclose his condition until 1998. Since then, he has used his star status to raise awareness and advocate for those with the disease. He has testified before Congress and has raised more than $300 million dollars for Parkinson's research through the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
For many people with Parkinson's disease, work is not an option. The Social Security Administration provides benefits when long-term disability makes it impossible to work. To learn more about applying for Social Security disability benefits with Parkinson's disease, read our article, "When Does Parkinson's Disease Qualify for Disability Benefits?" To schedule a free case evaluation with a Vermont SSDI lawyer, contact Keefe Disability Law at 888-904-6847.

Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Greg Iles, and Linda Fairstein, this action-packed legal thriller debut races from the gleaming canyons of New York City to the hurricane-lashed waters of the Caribbean. Michael Rudolph's Noble Chase combines a smart, determined heroine and a storm of stunning surprises in a pulse-pounding morality tale of international intrigue that delivers suspense right up to the shocking end.
Sic transit gloria. Beth Swahn, a young lawyer, makes a rookie mistake: She believes her client. While basking in the glory of winning a $100 million judgment for a US division of C. K. Leung's Chinese conglomerate, Beth realizes that because of her naïveté, Leonard Sloane, president of the division, has absconded to the Caribbean with his banker girlfriend and $70 million of the judgment money. Shortly thereafter, they are both presumed dead when a Mayday call to the Coast Guard reports the sinking of their yacht.
Stunned, furious, and determined to retrieve Leung's money and save her firm from bankruptcy, Beth investigates her way through a maze of money laundering and white-collar corruption. When the trail leads her to Sloane's handsome son, she is torn between her attraction to him and her fear that he may be involved in the theft. Beth is not alone in her search for the money. C. K. Leung is also involved, because he doubts Beth's innocence. When her investigation moves to a critical level and a missing encrypted file comes to light that has the power to ignite a geopolitical firestorm, Leung becomes convinced that Beth is a party to Sloane's scheme, and her life becomes violently threatened.
"Noble Chase is exactly that: heart-stabbing adventures at sea and in the courtroom, with lives - and millions - at stake. Get ready to stay up late." (Brad Meltzer)
"From the inner chambers of Manhattan's legal scene to the jet-setting world of international business, this gripping thriller takes you to exotic places while keeping you on the edge of your seat." (Kathy Reichs)

It was just OK
I'm not sure. There were parts of this story that were intriguing, but a lot of parts that really dragged.
The water storm scene may have been interesting to people who sail, but for me, I just found it really boring.
It was tough for him, because he was a male voicing a female lead. He did a good job, but I would have preferred a female voice.

Flight AWQZ8501 Squawk Codes Should Have Been 7600 Lost Comm (radio failure) on 27 Dec 2014
source of pic
A transponder (short-for transmitter-responder[1] and sometimes abbreviated to XPDR,[2] XPNDR,[3] TPDR[4] or TP[5]) is an electronic device that produces a response when it receives a radio-frequency interrogation. Aircraft have transponders to assist in identifying them on air traffic control radar; and collision avoidance systems have been developed to use transponder transmissions as a means of detecting aircraft at risk of colliding with each other.[6][7]
Air traffic control units use the term "squawk" when they are assigning an aircraft a transponder code, e.g., "Squawk 7421". Squawk thus can be said to mean "select transponder code" or "squawking" to mean "I have selected transponder code xxxx".[6]
7700 is for EMERGENCY if they landed on the water (slide found) then this code should have come up from the transponder, but it didn't? when it when off radar at 2319 according to flightradar24 site's snap shots of it's last flight before crashing into the java sea. And if it landed on the WATER why is it broken up into 5 parts? (as what's been spotted)
the idea girl says
looking at what a SQUAWK Code is. It's for the Transponder, which stopped sending out signals on the Flightradar24 screen around 2319 on 2014 12 27, and I have to look at all the screen shots I took to see if it changed yet. I don't remember it going into the 7,000 range, it was in the 3,000 codes.
Emergency Transponder Squawk Codes
Below are the 3 squawk codes every pilot should commit to memory:
7500 – Hijack
7600 – Lost Comm (radio failure)
7700 – Emergency
An easy way to remember this: 75 taken alive, 76 technical glitch, 77 going to heaven.

Scientists from the University of California, San Francisco, discovered that adult neural stem cells that exist in the brain throughout life, are not one homogeneous population.It turned out that they are represented by several groups of cells capable of differentiating into specific types of neurons that are specific to each group.This discovery can be used in developing methods for cell therapy for various neurological diseases, for treating each of them requires certain types of nerve cells (e.g., dopaminergic neurons to treat Parkinson's disease).
Adult neural stem cells (NSC) differentiate into three major types of neural tissue cells - astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons.NSC are located mainly in two areas of the brain - in the subventricular zone and in the hippocampus.It has long known that during embryonic development of the brain formed NSC certain types of neurons depending on the location of the NSC;a fully developed adult brain NSC also able to differentiate into different types of neu
purpose of this study, performed in mice, was to determine whether the NSC are uniform in different areas of the subventricular zone.It was divided into 15 regions, of which the fate of the NSC scientists were able to trace.It was found that cells from each region produce a well-defined subtype of olfactory interneurons zone.In addition, it was not possible to change the "specification" NSC - even if they move to another region of the subventricular zone, they continue to differentiate all the same subtype of interneurons.The same thing happened when grown in a culture of NSC.
results of this study suggest that although adult NSC brain can produce three types of neural tissue cells - astrocytes, and neurons olingodendrotsity - they are programmed to differentiate into neurons strictly defined subtype.Thus, we must abandon the idea that any of the NSC can obtain any kind of neuron.This can be achieved only if we can find a way to genetically reprogram these cells.Comparing the genetic profiles of the NSC from different regions of the brain, producing various types of neurons, may be able to determine which genes are responsible for the production of neurons of each type.Theoretically it is possible to activate these genes in culture of embryonic stem cells and obtain the desired type of neurons.
next stage of the work of this group of scientists will check whether the applicable results obtained in mice to humans.If human NSC also heterogeneous, for the success of cell therapy of neurological diseases will need to find the area of the brain, where it will be possible to take a certain amount of NSC programmed to differentiate into a specific type of neurons to propagate their culture and re-enter the patients.

So I'm flying up to Portland tomorrow for a second-round interview with Apple. We had to reassure the children that we are not moving! The group is up there but the position is down here.
This is quite a different experience from my previous interviews: this time, I already have a good job. So if I am not a fit for them or they for me, it is no big deal. There is no pressure.
Meanwhile at Adobe, I am enjoying my work immensely. I have discovered the joys of generic programming in C++, have attended classes by Alexandrescu and Stepanov, and have begun contributing to opensource.adobe.com.
But I would like to get out of contracting and back into a full-time position. Contracting has helped me learn better work habits: I am forbidden from working more than 40 hours a week (because it would mess up the budget)! It has taught me to make those 40 hours count; I concentrate fully on my work each day, then leave.
But the benefits suck.

4847 Tasting Notes
I got this in my Christmas Stocking (yep, I bought this one too, and stuffed it in my own stocking. Sad … but true) This is the second time I've tried it, the first time was less successful. I wasn't getting a whole lot of pumpkin or caramel in the sip, just spices and bitterness. It wasn't bad … exactly, but, it wasn't as pleasant a cup as I hoped for. This time, it's better. I found that a splash of milk really improves the taste here. the caramel is accented, the pumpkin comes out a little more, and the spices are not as prominent, but instead provide pleasing background notes to the caramel and pumpkin flavors. It's not as good as 52Teas Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake … of course, but, it is certainly enjoyable, and this one has a bit more of a spiced taste to it than the cheesecake version.
The only way I am given teas by anyone in my family … is if I buy it for them to give to me. LOL Like I've said before, they all have this crazy notion that I have enough tea. AS IF!
@Jackie: Well, the concept has been proposed by my family, but I have rejected the notion, because it simply makes no sense. It's an oxymoron.
Oh goodness, this is lovely … I think that Da Yu Ling is quickly becoming another favorite Oolong of mine, perhaps right on the same level as Ali Shan which is (or was) #1. I am so swooning over this tea.
It is amazing to me how a tea can taste so delicate and yet so rich. At once, I taste notes of flower, air, fruit, honey, and vegetation. I taste each of these notes individually. In subsequent infusions, the flavors become less individual … they seem to come together in a very harmonious way to create a very luxurious, enchanting flavor.
I am so in love with this.
Thank you to Azzrian for sending me some of this tea.
When I read a tasting note about this tea just yesterday, I had read that it was a smoky tasting tea, and that stuck with me when I brewed this, so, I did a quick rinse of the leaves before I brewed to maybe remove some of the heavy smoke flavor. I'm not a big fan of smoke, I prefer a gently smoky tea over a heavily smoked one … so I hoped that a quick rinse might keep it from tasting too overwhelmingly smoky.
And … it doesn't. It is smoky, yes, but there is so much more going on here. The berry notes are outstanding. I taste notes of lemon as well, and the pine's resinous notes. The mint is subtle but I love that crisp note it provides.
A really lovely tea. I'm so glad I was able to try it!
Yeah, I want it to say Manatee…so what does Manistee mean? Maybe it's a place…(quick zip over to search engine)…yup, Manistee, Michigan. Dunno if that's what they named the tea for, but now we know.
LiberTEAS, glad you enjoyed this!
Terri, check out the description here: http://whisperingpinestea.com/manisteemoonrise.html
And also the product video here :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy0xKilUWZY
This is lovely. One of the nicest honeybush and spice blends I've tasted … I think I like this one especially because of the combination of licorice root and star anise in this. I love the strength of the sweet, zesty licorice-y taste in this … it's strong, but it doesn't overpower everything else. I taste the cinnamon, the cardamom, the orange, and the ginger. And the honeybush. This is warm and cozy to sip.
My full-length review is coming soon on SororiTea Sisters. Http://sororiteasisters.com
Today while running around, I got to the point where a stop for tea was required. I could feel the beginnings of that lack-of-caffeine headache. Here in the Pacific Northwest, there is a starbucks at nearly every corner (seriously, if you miss the starbucks at this corner, you don't need to turn around, just keep driving and there will be another one within a mile). But, I don't like starbucks, and I like Teavana even less. So, hubby was nice and took a detour and took me to Brewed Awakenings where they serve Steven Smith teas. I don't like that they serve the tea in paper cups because I can taste the paper, but, at least I got some good tea on the go. It would be better if they found a better way to serve it, but, at least I don't have the caffeine headache now.
I do love this tea, definitely one of my favorite Earl Grey teas out there.
I find myself unsure about this tea. My first few sips … were a bit disappointing … so much so that I stopped drinking it and focused my attention on other things … and when I returned to the cup, the liquid was cold. This is infinitely better cold!
I like the peppery notes … it's a little bit spicy which contrasts with the sweet notes of the white and Oolong teas. There's a fruity background and I like the way the peppery notes meld with those as well. I'm not usually a huge fan of rose hips, but, I'm actually kind of enjoying how they contribute to this cup.
Overall, a very interesting tea … I don't know that it is one that I'd want to drink often, but, I'm glad I got to try it, and it is one that I'd definitely consider having on hand when the warmer weather arrives and I want a refreshing iced tea.
Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this to try!
So good! I can't believe I'm the first one to log this tea, because it's seriously good.
I've only had lotus seeds once, in the paste that they use to fill steamed buns. A good friend of mine in California brought me some steamed buns while I was living there … and one batch of them were lotus seed paste buns, and they were so good. I have tried to find something like it again, but it hasn't been easy … all the steamed buns I find are usually BBQ pork.
Not that BBQ pork is bad, but, I want more lotus seed buns!
Anyway… this tea definitely reminds me of the lotus seed paste I tasted way back then. It's been a lot of years (let's see … I've lived here in the Pacific Northwest for more than 10 years now … so it's been at least eleven years since I've had those lotus seed buns!) It has a sweet, creamy, nutty flavor to it, as well as a hint of freshness and a touch of vegetative taste. And there is also a slight bitterness to the cup, nothing off-putting, but instead, kind of lively … it contrasts with the sweetness and creates a very pleasing taste.
Not that I had my doubts or anything … but this is seriously yummy.
The flavors meld together perfectly … I've never had a banana cheesecake, but, if I did, this is what I'd think it would taste like: sweet, creamy, banana-y, tangy deliciousness. The toasty, nutty flavor of the genmaicha works very well with the cheesecake notes … playing to the buttery crust notes quite nicely.
Really yum. My full-length review of this tea will publish in a few days on the SororiTea Sisters blog: http://sororiteasisters.com
I had mine without any additives … but maybe I'll try it next time with a little turbinado sugar to see how it goes. It was good on it's own!
I got this tea during my last visit to Steven Smith's tea shop, I know that these teas that he scents in aging barrels are of limited quantity, so I grabbed one.
I'm glad I did … this is remarkable. It tastes like Ceylon tea, but, the flavors of the wine are also present, it's beautifully subtle, but at the same time, so very wine-like. It's really beautiful.
I was planning on writing a full-length review on this one today for the SororiTea Sisters blog, but I think I need to spend more time with it before I do that.
This is really a delightful Tie Guan Yin. Sweet, light and creamy. I like that I'm not getting a really heavy floral note, some Tie Guan Yins tend to be so overly floral and it's almost inundating, not the case with this first cup (the result of my first two infusions following the rinse) … this is light and refreshing, with a nice buttery taste that hits the palate toward the end of the sip and lingers a little in the after taste. Looking forward to a few more infusions with this!

Unanswered: Access Project and Server Filter
I am having a problem with the Server Filter property of one of my forms.
One off the fields on the form contains a date/time value. When a user uses this field to construct a server filter he gets an error telling hem, that the sql statement is not correct.
The problem is caused by the fact that sql server needs a date format of 'dd-mm-yyyy' (sql server will automatically convert this to mm-dd-yyyy) and the Server Filter property construct a filter like #dd-mm-yyyy# (witch sql server can't convert).
Does anybody know a solution for this problem?Peter Dorsman

Function CSQLDate(varDate As Variant) As String
' This funktion changes any given date format

Real Christian leadership
Whenever I see or hear people who claim to be Christian leaders,I always imagine vividly that it is Christ himself talking, thatthese are his words. Pat Robertson says that the democraticallyelected president of Venezuela is a dictator. (What dictionarydefines "dictator" as democratically elected?)
He says that Venezuela is simultaneously communist and teeming with extremist Muslims. (I thought communists were atheists.) So here is Jesus himself saying these patently false and contradictory things to me.
Then, Robertson, speaking for the son of God, advocates assassination, premeditated murder. When, in my mind's eye, I have the image of Christ speaking these words I shudder.
Where is the Jesus of the New Testament? Jesus of "turn the other cheek," of "love your enemy," Jesus the forgiver and lover of all mankind?
Crazy creationism — yes
What would it take to get evolutionists to see that the specified complexity of even the simplest cell is beyond the probability of evolution's random chance mutations to accumulate (in any amount of time) through natural selection?
It would take many letters at 200 words or less to accomplish that task — and even then I doubt that their eyes will see. Intelligent design is not a theistic approach to life's complexity but is the result of such thinking.
To make ID appeal to evolutionists' so-called scientific/naturalistism (necessity for life's origins), some kind of a slap-in-the face was needed to get their attention.
Theories necessary to avoid the realization of that specified complexity have taken many circuitous paths. At first it was "a warm little pond," where the amino acids of life joined randomly to produce proteins (Miller/Urey experiments), which were coincidental with "they came from space" (Carey Carpenter, Francis Crick, et al.) and then the "RNA first" ideas. The pond has now been replaced with two others: Life came from rocks (George Cody, Robert Hazen) or clay (Graham Cairns-Smith).
What next, and why, if evolution is such a fact, are evolutionists worried about hearing opposing facts?
Crazy creationism? You bet!
What the
Bible says
A recent letter writer wrote that the Bible says many things but finally admits that Jesus did not say anything about homosexuals. The reality is that the Bible was written by many men over a long period of time by men who wanted to think there was a God and he appeared as Jesus.
It wasn't until the 16th century that the church finally decided the book was written by God, when, in fact, God never wrote anything and most of the writers did not even know Jesus (if he actually existed), and for years theologians have been trying to demythologize the writings that we now know as the King James version.
All civilizations have their gods (even the Aborigines), and the result is that man needs that crutch to sustain himself during his lifetime, and a religion is a good mythological way to accomplish and sustain him. He prays and the benefit is to the person doing the prayer and does no one else any good.
It makes the person doing the prayer feel he has helped whatever, and as a result he feels better. The human is very susceptible to superstitions and mythological happenings, and religion falls right in with those beliefs.
So having a religion is a good thing, but don't try and make rules about the contents and rules that others must live by — a good reason we try and keep the church out of the government. A better commandment would be do no harm to others. Only two of the Ten Commandments have been made into man's law — stealing and killing.
No doubt about evolution
In the Aug. 26 Faith & Values Letters, George Peabody claims that there is no mountain of evidence for evolution. The problem is that he's not looking at this issue from a scientific perspective. There is a mountain of historical data in biology and geology relevant to evolution. The critical point is that this mountain of data makes elegant sense when viewed within the framework of evolution, and it makes almost no sense when viewed without that framework.
That's why there's no debate among biologists on the historical reality of evolution — they prefer that the data make sense.
Also on Aug. 26 Gorman Gray disputes the claim that there is no debate within the scientific community "over the existence of evolution or life's common ancestry." He gives what he thinks is a refutation of that proposition: "Just last month 400 scientists from all disciplines signed a statement expressing skepticism that natural selection and random mutations can account for the complexity of life."
The logical fallacy in this is that doubt about how evolution works is equated to doubt that evolution occurred.
San Marcos
Visitors should tour our
Bible Belt
Ecological tours are popular as more endangered species are disappearing.
Those interested in cultural anthropology who want to see remnants of a socially primitive society should visit America's interior, home of the Bible Belters.
Tourists from Canada, Spain, Belgium, Great Britain and the Netherlands could be guided through the Western world's last area of political theocracy, while other nations have produced forms of democracy that foster freedom for all to pursue life, liberty and happiness.
Groups could be guided to places like the domain of JerryFalwell, where they could wait quietly with the hope he wouldappear brandishing a religious tract or the Bible, or where Dr.James Dobson resides to hear his mantra of "Focus on the Family,"or the habitat of the Rev. Pat Robertson, who might threaten themwith divine destruction. And the visitors would give thanks forbeing able to return to their homes, where all people are treatedequally.
They could even visit Crawford, Texas, but the main attraction would never emerge.
Religion needs to be brought back into schools
Over the years there have been countless issues about religion in schools.
Many individuals, our Congress, local school boards and citizens have been trying to keep religion out of our schools. What they really mean by religion is Christianity. Don't they realize that the United States of America was founded on Christian beliefs? It is stated in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal under their creator, God. We need to respect the legacy of our forefathers. Religion needs to be brought back into schools.
Some schools like San Pasqual, Orange Glen and Escondido High School are lucky enough to be able to have Christian clubs on campus. But in science classes students are taught only evolution. It is forbidden to be taught creation in the classroom.
When questions are asked about creation the questions are simply shrugged off as if the theory of creation is meaningless.
It is a shame that our curriculum isn't based more on what is the religion of most of the student body so they could relate to what they are learning.
Learning would be more enjoyable and be based on the legacy of our forefathers, which is Christianity.

Disclaimer: Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. No.
Author's Note: Don't you just hate it when your favorite character to write for is also the one that you find most frustrating to write for? Well, that's the situation here. I love writing for Abby and I love writing for Gibbs, but goshdarnit if they writing their dialog doesn't just drive me absolutely insane. I mean, I just...its really difficult to write the way that Abby talks. All the inflection and emphasis and endearing rambling and...Abby-ness that there is to it. I mean, that's just something that you have to hear to get, I think. Pauley does a wonderful job with the character. My gosh, not just anyone could do that part justice. And so much of Gibbs is nonverbal which shows the skill of, not only Mark Harmon, but the editors and camera crew. Its just...there's so much more than speaking when these two characters are communicating. So, I'm gonna count on your imagination to give this one life. I mean, I'm not saying that I wrote and awful story. What I'm saying is, you've gotta visualize it. Also, this is a story that focuses on Gibbs and Abby as a pseudo-father-and-daughter kinda thing. So, if you are just sickened by that prospect, this might not be the place for you.
Focal Character: Abby
Abby sighed, it was hard to stay chipper when everything was going wrong.
Two days ago, at a crime scene, Tony had been shot. This, of course, sent Abby into total meltdown mode until Ziva assured her her that he had only been shot in the arm. She calmed down more when Tony shot her a grin and joked that it was only a flesh wound.
Gibbs took the agent off field duty until his arm was back to full capacity, so the better part of Tony's day was spent in Abby's lab. At first, Abby found his company amusing, but as time went one (and painkillers were consumed), he found herself understanding McGee and Ziva's seemingly perpetual frustration with their fellow agent. It was like there was a five-year-old in the lab...a six-foot-three-inch five-year-old who had the ability to pick locks. It didn't take long for the company to become too much for Abby to handle and, as much as it pained her to do so, she temporarily banned Tony from her lab.
Then, when another body turned up on Friday afternoon, it became apparent that they would be working through the weekend. Her heart fell in an instant.
That evening, she called her cousin who was supposed to pick her up from the airport, and explained the circumstances.
Now, it was Sunday morning and Abby didn't even feel like being in her lab, let alone work. Gibbs strode in with a Caff-Pow in his hand. He sat it in front of her while silently taking in her unusually down demeanor, "'S wrong, Abs?"
"Everything," she stated flatly.
"Somethin' wrong with the evidence?"
"No, Gibbs. Nothing is wrong with the evidence. The evidence is just great. Everything is perfect with the evidence," she said, getting more and more frustrated.
"Then what's goin' on?" Gibbs asked gently.
"Do you even know what day it is, Gibbs?:
"Not just any Sunday! It's Fathers' Day! And I had plans! I was going to Louisiana to see my dad and now I'm stuck here! And I can't even tell him 'happy Fathers' Day' because he took out the phone because he got angry at the talk-to-text and he doesn't do good with webcams and he checks his email about like you do and I don't get much time off so I don't know when I'll get to see him again and I had been planning this for weeks and I know no one plans for a dead body to show up, but couldn't they have just waited until after Fathers' Day?" Abby ranted.
"Abs, Abs," Gibbs called to silence her.
She stopped talking and looked at him with the stare of a sad child and that look always reduced Gibbs's heart of stone to a puddle, "I'll make sure you get time to go see your family."
"Really? Gibbs, you're amazing!" she captured the stoic in a bone-crushing hug, "You're the greatest almost-dad that anyone could ever wish for.:
Gibbs smirked and returned her hug.
Even if she couldn't be with her real dad, Abby had her NCIS dad and, until he got his own national holiday, she could celebrate him on Fathers' Day.
A.N.: I hope I did them justice, here. Like I said, I'm not the greatest at writing for Abby and Gibbs. Lemme tell ya though, if you could see the paper copy of this story, where it gets to the rambling all that's there is frantic scribbles that (with painstaking study) might resemble words. I was writing it about as fast as Abby would speak it and, when you've got handwriting like mine, that's not such a good idea.
Also, not whining, just saying: I've got, like, a bajillion 'so-and-so added your story to their story alerts', which I love, but I have yet to get even one review. But, hey, at least you're reading it. That's all I could really hope for.

Just found my motivation...
Friday, April 05, 2013
Lately, I have had this habit of eating junk, but exercising. Or eating well and skipping exercise. It usually seems to be one or the other, which has resulted in zero results.
I know what I have to do to get to where I want to go. I just have to do it.
So I was thinking today about what motivates me. Health, yes. Happiness, of course. An overall sense of wellness, heck yeah. But then I thought: CLOTHES.
Yes, as it shallow as it may be, as silly as it may be, clothes are my motivation. I was filling up my cart on the Old Navy/Banana Republic/Gap websites (they're combined, so you can put stuff from all three places in one cart!), and I didn't like that I was putting in my current size. I was picking out summer clothes. And I still have a couple of months to go before the heat really kicks in here.
Do I want to be the same size in two months?
Um. That's a no.
Now sounds like a really great time to start a streak, right? Right.
I remember a few weeks ago, I did a week of clean eating. Lots of fruits, lots of vegetables, lots of whole grains, and no refined sugar or flour. I felt FANTASTIC that week, and it's crazy that I even stopped doing it. Crazy, I say! So that'll be my streak plan.
All for the sake of clothes. Right now, I just need SOMETHING to hold onto. And smaller sized clothing sounds pretty friggin' good.

I had to look to see what the "motivation" was.... nothing new but I think something we all have in common. My motivation was all the pretty clothes that I already bought when I lost the weight, but I had to pack them away because they didn't fit anymore. I said I will not spend anymore money on clothes when I already have the ones I want to wear and I will not spend another summer just looking at them and wishing I could fit into them. So alas..... great motivation there. And I think I will finally get to wear them in two months!! Good luck to you. I hope you get to purchase some of those things you have waiting for you in your "shopping cart"

Two friends, competitors, former college teammates – and top college coaches – are going to be navigating through a slightly different landscape this coming fall.
Missouri coach Bryan Blitz and Texas A&M coach Coach G Guerrieri are swapping conferences, heading from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference as part of the recent college conference merry-go-round.
"It's a little bit melancholy because we've had a great run in the Big 12," Guerrieri told TopDrawerSoccer.com. "But at the same time, really, really excited about what we get to do. After 16 years in one conference it's fun to have a change."
Added Blitz: "For me, it's like getting a new job, but I don't have to move my family from a personal standpoint. From a soccer standpoint it's exciting – both conferences are comparable."
Blitz and Guerrieri go way back, having played together at Tulsa before embarking on their respective coaching careers – Guerrieri's actually starting as an assistant at Tulsa where he coached Blitz for a season.
Each has built their respective program to a strong standing nationwide, with A&M capturing 12 Big 12 regular season and conference titles in Guerrieri's tenure, while Blitz has steadily built a program that won a tournament title in 2008 and the regular season title in 2009.
Their deep bond adds a unique twist to these changes.
"We're still competitors, our goals are still to win whatever conference we're in, whether it's the Big 12 or the SEC," Blitz said. "But we share that unique bond because we played at the same University, both are from Dallas, both have been in the Big 12, now moving to the SEC."
While the move doesn't dramatically alter each team's preparations, the biggest difference both programs face is a significant uptick in the number of conference games this fall. Only nine teams played in the Big 12 in 2011, meaning eight conference games for every team.
The shift to the SEC takes the number of schools with soccer programs to 14, which creates the biggest obstacle of this move – along with a busier schedule.
"I think the biggest change that we're going to see is in the number of conference games that we're going to play without a break," Guerrieri said. "In the Big 12, this past season, we only played eight conference games because there are only nine teams that have soccer.
"Those eight conference games were spread out over six weeks. You had a chance to rest, or you had a chance to get a non-conference game in there those six weeks. In the SEC, we're going to play 13 games in six and a half weeks."
That kind of schedule also means preparations for the fall includes lining up more difficult non-conference schedules for both A&M and Missouri, in order to help compensate and maintain a high RPI level by winning games against difficult opposition.
On the field, the similarities between the two teams run just as deep. Both teams competed with very young rosters last fall – Missouri had a total of 11 newcomers, while A&M fielded 10. And while A&M finished the higher of the two teams (A&M capturing the Big 12 conference tournament title), both focused this spring on furthering the development of their talented groups.
"We really put a big emphasis on our development as individuals and as a team in the spring, and it's the first time we've ever gone through the spring and haven't really pushed a goal," Guerrieri said. "It was a real productive spring, the girls come out of it having come a long way and with a lot of confidence."
A&M will be led by midfielders Katie Perry and Beth West, and are once against expecting big things from returning leading scorer Kelley Monogue, who scored 19 goals as a freshman. Annie Kunz, another freshman, finished as second leading scorer with 14 goals despite only starting five games last fall.
Up in Missouri, there's a hope for the senior class to take a strong leadership role, something that has progressed significantly this spring. The rising senior class began playing in 2008, the first season of the two back-to-back titles, and Blitz was pleased at how that group has led during the spring.
"Now it's their turn to really lead the group, so I think the biggest growth has come from our senior and junior class," he said. "I think the freshmen followed suit, all those 11 newcomers. It's really that senior leadership that is kind of guiding us moving forward."
Juniors include the likes of midfielder Haley Krentz defender Allison Hu, while midfielder Kaysie Clark is one of a number of young talents who was a freshman last fall. Goalkeeper McKenzie Sauerwein provides experience at the back.
And despite the new conference, ambition for both teams is high as players wrap up the spring semester and head home for the summer.
"We're trying to win conference trophies and we're trying to put ourselves in a position to compete for a national championship," Guerrieri said. "We should be good in the fall, but we're only going to be as good as you prepare in the summer. The team is on a real high right now, so I'm pretty confident they'll take the challenge and will really hit it hard this summer."
