PLAYERS: LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, Erik Spoelstra
TEAMS: Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder
TEAMS: Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder
MIAMI It's simple. Either the Miami Heat are the Heat 2.0 hardened, emboldened and made better by all that's transpired since LeBron James uttered those words about South Beach. Or they're the same team that relentlessly showed signs all last season, to those willing to see, that their glorious trio came with a very real Achilles' heel the one that finally caught up to their historic expectations with a historic Finals collapse against the Dallas Mavericks. There was a mental weakness there, a tendency to show that the narrative of the 72-win-caliber superteam was blotted by a LeBron capable of mental letdowns that could boggle the mind, by a Chris Bosh whose disappearing acts were rivaled only by his tendency to admit he wasn't always fitting in socially, and by a Dwyane Wade who when faced with these things had trouble hiding the shock that the masterpiece he'd helped put together sometimes resembled a fraud. That was then: The Bump, the talk of the world aligned against them, the NBA actually aligned against them, the karma tweets and the players-only meetings and the aftermath of trying to force out Erik Spoelstra a month into that thing and all of it ending in the Heat's staunchest defenders crying we told you! a tad too soon, in those halcyon June days just before LeBron's vengeance suddenly became LeBron's folly. This is now. And things, as they always are with the Heat, are wildly complicated: There have been streaks of remarkable play, a current 15-game home winning streak that makes Miami a kind of fortress against lasting disaster, and funks like this one in which teams like Oklahoma City and even Boston seem real threats to the Heat's plans. But there are also signs that, as a person entrusted with great fame and scrutiny, LeBron James has grown and matured. And that matters. His off-court failings and idiocies last year had an impact; surely his improvement in that respect can as well. So who are these guys? Champions borne of being chastened by failure, or the same group of guys albeit with some more maturity who despite so much talent are just as capable of long funks that can turn certainty into collapse? Offering an opinion can be like stepping into a political debate in an election year. That's in part because there's a peculiarity of the South Florida media that taints the overall coverage of the Heat by automatically pushing back against criticism of the team they routinely cover. It's as if to suggest that Miami is flawed or that LeBron has trouble in the clutch, or that all NBA truth is not found in the numbers and that championships can't always be riddled from rosters is an affront not just to South Florida's dignity but to logic everywhere. This often sets up two sides to the Miami Heat argument even though it's too complicated for two-dimensional thinking: The notion that you must either be for the Heat (They are great! LeBron is the greatest! All criticism is the hate of haters!) or you must be against them (LeBron is a bad person! Miami will never win! LeBron will always choke in every big situation!). Like any argument that becomes more about defending your ideology than what's in front of you, neither are right. LeBron doesn't always choke, but for a person of his extreme talents he does choke often sometimes hard. He changes his routine come playoff time, he has trouble sleeping in the postseason, he feels the weight of that burden and his tendency toward gun-shyness and the not-quite-masked fear he can exhibit in the regular season can mushroom into a full-on meltdown when the going gets tough in the playoffs. Not always, no. But it happens. It's there, lurking. And pretending it never existed doesn't make it go away. But this is true, too: LeBron is a world-class athlete, one of the greatest regular-season basketball players ever, and if he ever figures out this issue he may be unstoppable. I've studied this up close. I spent the entire 2010-11 season with the Heat, and throughout it all, up close and behind the scenes, I saw all of this: The talent, the promise, the potential and the hollow core which LeBron and his teammates were in danger of falling through. Last week, when Miami played the Oklahoma City Thunder the other best team in the NBA I saw many of the same things. The same things that, during this Heat relapse, have pointed toward the possibility of another disappointing future. I saw Dwyane Wade livid with the offense. I saw Bosh cowering again. I saw Spoelstra looking like a man who'd aged 10 years. I saw LeBron play tentative basketball late all things that have dogged this team lately. This is what is the same with the Heat this year and last: They are imperfect together, they are capable of slipping into serious funks (a no-no in a seven-game series), and their talent and swagger when things go well still masks their tendency to freak out when things do not. This is what has changed with this team from last year: I think LeBron was humbled by, and he did grow up from, the trouble he brought on himself with The Decision and how he handled it going forward. I think what he and the Heat did on behalf of Trayvon Martin underscores that fact precisely: Stepping onto that ledge the right one, but one putting you at odds with too many racially minded fans wasn't about selling shoes, building his brand, making Nike happy or seeking adulation like some wayward child star who craves fame and needs the love it offers but who cannot fathom its implications, complications and consequences. No, what LeBron and his team did when they donned those hoodies, whether you understand it or not, was an act of adult-infused courage. It was LeBron James, whatever else he does well or badly, understanding something beyond himself and acting valiantly on its behalf. As was, in a smaller but important way, LeBron trying to offer an olive branch earlier in the season when he said he could see himself back in Cleveland some day. LeBron James, at least a little bit and in the ways that really matter for a man has grown up some. That is new, and it is great, and it should be celebrated. And despite that, the Heat have gone 1-7 during their last eight road games against likely playoff opponents. They've endured double-digit losses to the Thunder, Lakers, Pacers and Celtics. Their offense has stagnated, their defensive energy has fallen off a cliff, and LeBron has gone from remarkable to just good. Spoelstra said all of last year that this is a process, and indeed that is so. It's a process that's exposed, among many things, LeBron James to enough struggles that he's matured some. Perhaps we're seeing LeBron 2.0 this season a man in a hoodie making a statement that transcends his own needs, a guy whose past petulance and cluelessness created just the environment for his own personal growth. Whether that translates to the Heat 2.0 and a basketball version of LeBron that has also improved remains to be seen. Look, like I said, this is a complicated thing. There are indicators that point up for this team, and indicators that don't. Personal growth is a part of that. But so is learning to win in the fourth quarter, attacking the rim and rising above your fears. And so far, on the basketball court at least, LeBron & Co. are showing the same warning signs that flashed this time last year. It's not about loving the Heat. It's not about hating the Heat. It's about sizing them up and trying to see who they are. And right now, they're a grown-up version of the team that struggled to carry the weight of what they created last year but maybe, at least right now, not grown-up enough.

During the election campaign, Republican candidate Governor Mitt Romney often mentioned his intention to brand China as a currency manipulator on his first day in office. Although Governor Romney lost the election, many are still hoping the federal government makes such a move.
In an announcement yesterday, The Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) and the National Tooling & Machining Association (NTMA) disagreed with the Treasury Department's decision to criticize Chinese currency practices while not labeling the country a currency manipulator. These sentiments echo many machinists and manufacturing goods exporters, who claim Chinese durable goods are unfairly competitive due to devalued Chinese currency.
The organizations noted that the Treasury Department's latest "Report to Congress on International Economic and Exchange Rate Policies" describes Chinese currency (RMB) as remaining "significantly undervalued, and that further appreciation of the RMB against the dollar and other major currencies its warranted." However, China is not named a manipulator.
"We are disappointed that the Obama Administration refused to name China a currency manipulator," PMA president William E. Gaskin said in the announcement. "Given the tough tone on China that we saw from both parties during this past election, we had hoped to see tougher action by the Administration on this issue. Such a declaration by Treasury would have offered tangible, robust support to U.S. manufacturers."
"Currency manipulation hurts small, middle-market U.S. manufacturers and their employees," added NTMA president Dave Tilstone. "It makes it significantly more challenging for our members to successfully compete against products from China and in the global marketplace. We will continue to press the Obama Administration to take action on this important issue. The government should not continue to give China a pass on an issue that is so critical to the success of manufacturers in the U.S."

All 3 of these products are AMAZING!! The only bad thing is the containers are small. The tummy rub only lasted a week. I'm ordering all of these items individually so I don't run out again.
I started using Boob Tube when I was pregnant along with my Tummy Butter - I am 28 and have a bra size 32F - so it was time I found a product to help my boobs stay as pert as possible. I knew they would get even bigger post pregnany - they are massive - this product really helps.....my skin feels fabby and the best thing of all is that this is paraben free which means I don't have to worry whilst I am breast feeding. I love the fact that Mama Mio are committed to not using nasty ingredients in their products - makes a refreshing change! I am going to continue to use Boob Tube from now on.......such amazing products which help you feel body confident. Thank you Mama Mio :-D
I got a few different creams during my pregnancy as a gift and Lucky Legs is the one I used most. It is great and I recommended it to all my friends.
I'm 6 months pregnant and noticed I have a few stretch marks on my tummy and hips so I was freaking out! I ordered the Tummy Rub Butter and it just got here yesterday and I kid you not, I can already tell the difference in my skin!!! I would lather normal store bought lotion all over my tummy and it would feel smooth but it still felt tight. After applying Tummy Rub Butter on last night and this morning my skin feels so much softer and smoother! Not just on the surface, but it doesn't have that tight feeling! I'm here to purchase some more right now!! Thank you Mama Mio! Can't wait to try your other products!
I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I got this about a month ago. I LOVE IT!! I feel 100 times better every time I put it on, the fregrance is great too. Its an easy way to pamper yourself and I still haven't had any problems with stretch marks yet!! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, at least to try!

The King and I
Sitting in a wheelchair, my mother has a new mobility. She can shuffle her feet and move herself along with greater ease than I think she has known in years.
I tried looking up quotes about mobility or wheelchairs and found this from Deborah Kerr.
I`d rather drop dead in my tracks one day than end up in a wheelchair in some nursing home watching interminable replays of The King and I.
I can't decide whether the thing she abhors is a) being in a wheelchair, b) being in a nursing home, or c) watching interminable replays of The King and I, a movie in which she starred.
From what I've observed, being in a wheelchair has been a good thing for my mother. For the last several years, she has complained about hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, and generalized leg pain. I went with her once to see the physical therapist for a shoe orthotic. My father, for some reason, couldn't take her, so I did. He had been very clear that she was getting an orthotic for her left shoe. However, once there, the pain had migrated to her right side, so that's what she told the physical therapist and that's what she got the orthotic for. It hit me that day what a challenge it must be to care for someone with dementia. They cannot accurately relay much of anything to a health care provider.
So being in a wheelchair has freed her from weight-bearing pain, wherever it may occur.
I also think that being in a nursing home has been a good thing for my mother. She is well-fed. She is clean and properly dressed. She has activities she can attend. And she has happy feet that can shuffle her wherever she wants to go (within reason, of course).
So I'm left with those interminable reruns of The King and I. That must be what Deborah Kerr dreaded.
I have to say I love The King and I. How can you not like that scene where she meets all the royal children? Or, if you ever took ballroom dance lessons, not want to dance to "Shall We Dance"?
Philip, on the other hand, hated The King and I. When he was little, he referred to it as the movie where the girl got spanked — because of the scene near the end when the king is going to whip Anna. The king ends up not being able to and throws the whip down, but I don't know that Philip ever watched the whole thing. I think he always covered his eyes at that part.
For Deborah Kerr's sake, I hope that if she ended up in a wheelchair in a nursing home they showed instead interminable reruns of An Affair to Remember, a movie my mother and father did see in the nursing home around Valentine's Day. It's one of my all-time favorite movies.
Ironically, it ends with the heroine in a wheelchair.

In traditional multihoming, you install a second hardware network adapter on a computer that normally possesses only one. Then, you configure both adapters to utilize the same one local IP address. This setup allows a computer to continue using the network even if one or the other network adapter stops functioning. In some cases, you can also connect these adapters to different Internet/network access points and increase the total bandwidth available to use across multiple applications.
An alternate form of multihoming does not require a second network adapter; instead, you assign multiple IP addresses to the same adapter on one computer. Microsoft Windows XP and other operating systems support this configuration as an advanced IP addressing option. This approach gives you more flexibility to control incoming network connections from other computers.
Combinations of the above - configurations with both multiple network interfaces and multiple IP addresses assigned to some or all of these interfaces - are also possible.
The concept of multihoming is increasing in popularity as new technologies are adding more support for this feature. IPv6, for example, offers more network protocol support for multihoming than traditional IPv4. As it becomes more common to use computer networks in mobile environments, multihoming allows helps solve the problem of migrating between different types of networks while traveling.

Chris Koster, in yet another case, of pay-to-play corruption, took at least $182,000 in campaign money from law firms seeking to represent Missouri in a multiple plaintiff case against GlaxoSmithKline over the drug Avandia (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).
"Pay-to-play" sleaziness is nothing new to Chris Koster – in June 2012, State Auditor Tom Schweich discovered the deep and growing scandal involving Koster, his official office and his political campaign.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch article in 2011 said that Koster opened up the controversial Avandia case for law firm bidding after a New Mexico law firm donated $25,000 to Koster. That, and other actions, show how Koster lives up to his nickname, "Obama's Lawyer." Consider the fact he took campaign contributions from Express Scripts executives after meeting with them on the taxpayers' time and dime, and also has accepted nearly $750,000 in campaign contributions from firms that were bidding for state work.
Republican Attorney General nominee Ed Martin said Missourians deserve an Attorney General with integrity, not a slick talker with a "For Sale" sign on his office.
"The Avandia case is just another example of Koster's disgraceful trail of corruption. State Auditor Tom Schweich's strong audit was only the beginning of exposing the facts. Koster might as well have a "For Sale" sign outside his office. Koster has accepted nearly $750,000 in contributions from multiple law firms that sought his favor for state work. Having gone toe-to-toe in the courtroom with Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, I know what corruption looks like. Koster has thrown away the integrity of his elected office with Chicago-style pay-to-play fundraising. Koster is truly living up to his title of 'Obama's Lawyer.'"
As reported by the Martin campaign on Monday, Koster received more than $260,000 in 2008 political contributions from firms that later bid on official contracts from Koster. Since 2008, Koster has received nearly $475,000 in contributions for a total of nearly $750,000. These large donations routinely come from some of the largest law firms in Missouri, including Humphrey, Farrington & McClain, Hershewe Law Firm, Strong, Garner, Bauer PC, and Langdon & Emison – all of which have received payment from the state during Koster's time in office.
Schweich's June 2012 audit caught Koster red-handed accepting over $170,000 in campaign contributions from law firms actively bidding on state contracts – a situation Auditor Schweich definitively called "a conflict of interest." Another $4 million was spent on "legal and expert" witness services, but without adequate documentation to justify the expenses. Clearly, Koster is using taxpayer dollars to pad his campaign coffers.

Nurses who have strongly supported the ongoing work of the American Nurses Foundation also were recognized for their commitment to their RN colleagues and the profession at the June 16 luncheon.
During the HOD meeting, delegates took action by passing resolutions that called for ANA's championing of optimal nurse staffing, ensuring the health and well-being of nurses who handle hazardous drugs, preventing workplace violence, and educating nurses about and promoting the benefits of energy conservation and renewable energy sources.
In her closing remarks, Karen A. Daley, PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN, who was re-elected president, thanked nurse delegates for their hard work. "Our challenge for nurses and our organization is to be mindful to care for one another and create a future for those who follow us," she said.

The left-wing blogosphere is MUCH more powerful than what you see on the right this cycle and it reminds us of the advantage Bush had in '04. While we all know about that so-called right-wing voice machine, don't forget that there is now a left-wing noise machine (on the internet) as well. And it has found its voice.
The Left has billionaire patrons who are providing a quasi sense of organization and purpose to their superficially disconnected agents. They have people for who that is their day job.
The GOP's chief disadvantage is war weariness with what is seen as a GOP war, disenchantment with its architect (Bush), and a desire for "change."
"Progressive" noisemakers on the left have yet to make any substantive electoral or legislative gains
"Progressive" noisemakers on the left have yet to make any substantive electoral or legislative gainsOther than delivering control of the US Senate, you mean? They did that. And they've won quite a few other races, both primaries and general elections.
The Democratic gains in 2006 were typical for the out party in the sixth year, second midterm elections when the other party has controlled the White House.
That's quite unresponsive to the situation described.
Races have been swung by the blogs,
and they continue to wield a great deal of influence based on the impact they've already had.
You can dismiss it all you like,
but the people actually involved in those races know just how big an impact the blogs had. And still have.
Other than delivering control of the US Senate, you mean?
What do you have your settings at?
Totally unreadable. No point in me returning.
And exactly how many of those seats did the Progressive noise machine deliver? They were won by moderate and conservative Dems, despite progressive efforts to make candidates tow their line, and that may well be a large part of why Republicans have successfully stymied so much of the Democratic agenda.
Jim Webb is hardly a liberal in the progressive mode, and Allen ultimately met his "macaca" Waterloo on the tube.
blood red states like Alaska
Well, there's no question that Progressive blog support delivered Virginia for Webb.
They did, and everybody from Webb to his opponents recognizes that.
I don't intend to write a thesis on it in the comment section here, but I would suggest you study them much more closely. Superficial snark is no substitute for careful analysis.
Oh? No question? No question for whom?

Park KyungLim's hubby made an exception for SNSDApril 26, 2011
On SBS TV 'When It's At Night' aired on April 25th, Park KyungLim revealed, "I used to live next to SNSD's hostel. My husband is the type of person who doesn't care much about celebrity. One day, SNSD visited me and brought along some potatoes. So, we ate the sweet potatoes and instant noodles (ramyun) together and had a great time".
Park KyungLim continued, "When my husband came back and saw SNSD, he went into the room and changed into a rather uncomfortable clothing". Usually, when Park KyungLim introduced a celebrity to her husband, he does not seem to be interested. However, he made an exception for SNSD.
Park KyungLim eventually had a small argument with her husband who seemed to have a great interest in SNSD. In reaction to this, Tak Jaehoon jokingly said, "SNSD is a group that creates fights among men and women", which drew laughters from the members of the show.

Park Kyunglim wants to be the 10th member of SNSD?November 13, 2010
Of course it is just a joke.
On November 13th, Park Kyunglim tweeted with an attached photo (above), "It has been a long time since I've met SNSD on 'Starry Night'~^^ What do you think if I'm SNSD's 10th member?"
In the photo, Park Kyunglim stood in the middle and made a cute pose, surrounded by Soshi members – YoonA, Taeyeon, Seohyun, Sunny, Sooyoung and Yuri. The "10th member" showed her warmth towards the girls as she stood among them in the photo.
Netizens who read her tweet and saw the photo gave plenty of different reactions. Some of the comments are:
-"Isn't she a little bit greedy?"
-"She's a warm aunt~"
-"Hoot! You're easily spotted~"

Park Kyunglim has 71% of Yuri's facial features?October 3, 2010
Comedian and MC, Park Kyunglim posted the result from a face recognition program that suggested that there is 71% similarities in facial features between herself and Yuri via Twitter on October 3rd.
Kyunglim said, "Friends, please come and congratulate me. The result is produced based on my photo. This is really accurate. I'm sorry, Yuri".
Kyunglim's photo was taken during the shooting of drama "The Musical". With her apple-shaped hair and smile on her face, Kyunglim looks younger. Dressed in a white hooded shirt, the program 'thought' that she is a 29-year old woman (Park Kyunglim was born in 1979).
netizens who saw the results commented:
- "Great! Congratulations!"
- "The boyish-face Park Kyung Lim? Amazing result"
- "Oh My God! Congratulations"

ASHTABULA — Nicholas Allen Newhart, age 11, of Ashtabula, was granted his eternal Angel Wings on Friday, April 19, 2013, at the Cleveland Clinic.
Nicholas was born on May 20, 2001, at Ashtabula County Medical Center. He was the loving son of Michael and Jamie (Weaver) Newhart. Nick was a fifth grade student at Geneva Middle School.
He enjoyed his toys, especially noisy ones, and his pet turtle, but most of all, he loved the water. Nick loved to swim, take baths, do dishes, and just play with the water. Adding bubbles to water made it even better. He was known as "Water Bug" to the family because he was always trying to be in or near the water.
Nick was a Daddy's boy, he found much comfort in his father, and always wanted to be near him and spend time with him. His mom remembers him as being loving and sneaky, always trying to take her chocolate and Dr. Pepper. Nick was a very loving child, although he faced challenges with Autism, he was always a very lovable child giving lots of hugs and kisses. He was a child that touched many lives and will fondly be remembered and missed by all who knew him. Nick was an organ donor and through his gift, he will continue to live on in others.
He is survived by his parents, Michael and Jamie Newhart of Ashtabula; brothers, Cody and Dakota Newhart at home; maternal grandparents, Robert (Patricia) Weaver of Ashtabula; paternal grandparents, Joanne Newhart of Ashtabula and Ray (Nancy) Newhart of Jefferson; maternal great-grandmothers, Carol Weaver of Ashtabula, and Barbara Green of Roanoke, Va.; maternal great-grandfather, Carl Padgett of Roanoke, Va.; aunts and uncles, Robert (Kari) Weaver, Dave (Stacie) Newhart, Donyale (Tina) Holmes, Doug (Sharon) Jones and Dennis (Heather) Newhart; and many cousins and friends.

If you're looking for a trip through twin realities in a play, your destination should be Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group's production of the World Premiere of Robert Riemer's The Fainting Couch, running every Saturday at 8:30pm through Nov. 3 in the NoHo Arts District.
The play within a play celebrates Zombie Joe's 20th anniversary season and helps the audience realize the imagination and vision writing a play requires.
This love story about the emotional relationships between a boss, magician, two fools and a ballerina, each struggling to escape from the bondage of their pre-determined fate, is unique in style and substance and requires the theatergoer to answer the question, "what is art and how far will it go to emulate reality?"
This sexually-charged tale of love misplaced is written with passion and grace by Robert Riemer. No stone is left unturned in sprinkling us with the fairy dust of a play gone awry and the four characters attempting to find their way back to their own rock.
Director Zombie Joe creates a life and environment for Riemer's characters and words that enhance both.
The action, always lasting an hour, is fast-paced and thought-provoking. The work, though it may not be everyone's cup of tea, is unique and remarkable in its own way.
Natalie Hyde (The Ballerina) is convincing and realistic if not somewhat one-dimensional.
Donna Noelle Ibale (The Small Fool) is expressive and energetic in a challenging role. Ricky Lacorte (The Large Fool) spans the emotions in a very funny, yet tragic portrayal.
But it is Rehyan Rivera (The Boss/Magician) who runs away with the show. His presence and sheer delight in the power and majesty of his capabilities are a joy to behold. Hopefully, Rivera will grace many more stages in Los Angeles.
All in all, ZJU proves once again that it can handle just about any material, regardless the subject matter. The innovative theater company emerges triumphant and ready to tackle the world and all its softer and rougher edges.
In the second part of this Saturday evening, Zombie Joe Underground's World Premiere production of Thomas J. Misuraca's The ParaAbnormals, running Saturdays at 11pm through October 20., hit a home run.
A spoof on the mega-grossing, popular film series, Paranormal Activity, this story of three enterprising friends who venture into the hazardous world of ghost-hunting, ill-prepared to neutralize the onslaught of evil spirits, demons and the diabolical plan of a rival psychic is a head-turner.
The crisp writing is complimented by Sebastian Munoz's intelligent and site-specific direction and a universe of inventive sound effects and technical wizardry.
Stand-out performances by Tucker Matthews (Chuck/Steve) and Lauren Parkinson (Chai Tea/Chuck), he in his characterization and she in her bold statement, add to a work sturdy on its feet and worthy of laughter and fear from audiences of any age.
Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group
4850 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91601

This is one of my first few posts here in the forums, but I have been a long-time lurker of the site. I figured it would definitely help for me to register in here and hopefully receive some positive feedback from a lot of you guys who are already pursuing the same dream that I am chasing. Starting a brand is definitely a lot of work and nothing to sleep on for sure. I've started to realize this over the past few months...Before I introduce you guys to the brand I have started, I'd like to tell you a little about myself and what I am all about. I am 23 years old, born and raised in Providence, RI and have been skateboarding for 12+ years now. I have 1-2 years of graphic design experience and I am now going back to school for Business Management to learn a little more about the fundamentals of the business side of things(and it makes a nice back up plan).Now for the company aspect of things; It is called AIGHTYO! (AIYO for short) I have started small by printing some stickers with the logo and some others with a website address on them and started to paste them around town and handed some out to the skateboard homies to create a little hype for the up and coming brand. I have a good friend of mine working on a website for me but for now we just have a temporary page up to let people know that it IS coming. (no blogspot, bigcartel, etc. type shit)With this brand I want to give that raw east coast skateboarding vibe but do so with very uplifting spirits. This is for those who are less fortunate. Those who have never forgotten their roots. AIGHTYO! is a brand showing a very strong bond and appreciation for those who are staying true to the dreams of their youth.I've come to realize presentation is just about everything. Your image is who you are and what you represent so I have been very careful with that part of this project. But anyways, check out the temporary webpage, and some of these stickers I have printed and let me know what you think of the work I have done so far. http://www.aightyo.com/ (first two stickers below)Thanks for taking the time to check out my brand and I would appreciate some feedback whether it's positive or not. Also some input, certain manufacturers to stay away from, any helpful hints/tips, potential collaborations in the future, etc. Help a homie out! Thanks guys.-Steve Faraone
AIGHTYO! how did you make a font like the one that is first..its sick. if you dont mind me asking?

Here's a simple oatmeal raisin bread that tastes great for breakfast and as an after-school snack. The recipe is for 2 loaves: one for eating now and one to freeze for later.
Yield: 2 loaves
Prep Time: 2 hours
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours, 45 minutes
- 2-1/4 tsp or 1 pkg (1/4 oz.) active dry yeast

- 2 Tbsp brown sugar, packed
- 1-1/2 Tbsp butter, soft
- 2 tsp salt

Lisa Jorgensen of Nazareth is hard at work ensuring that the Second Annual Bunko Battle Against Cancer is a great success. The event, which will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 19, is being held by the Creekside Crusaders 4 A Cause.
All ladies -- this is a girls' night out! -- are invited to to play Bunko, a fun and silly dice game similar to Yahtzee, enjoy a light supper, and peruse a few vendors. The net proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society.
I will be there with my friend, Heather, taking turns rolling the dice, and showing off charms, including cancer ribbon charms and charms with words of encouragement. Pampered Chef and Scentsy distributors will also attend.
Tickets are $15 payable at the door, but Jorgensen would appreciate an RSVP by Friday, May 18, so she knows how much food to prepare. She plans to serve soup, salad and sandwiches. You can call her at (610) 614-1760, or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
Baskets for a raffle and monetary donations are also being accepted.
Let's help her make this a huge success!

I own a small bakery in Charleston SC. I was looking for a pumpkin cookie and came across this recipe. Did a test bake and was absolutely floored. These cookies are amazing and now I can't keep them on the shelf. After they have cooled I dip the entire top into a milk and powdered sugar glaze. I allow that to dry overnight and this seals the moisture into the cookie. Thanks for sharing this formula.
Reading other postings I decided to try and make half with craisins and half with fresh cranberrys to see which I liked better. I'd definetely go with real cranberries - it's such an interesting, tangy taste that you don't get too often and the real cranberries look GORGEOUS in the cookies. I felt the craisins got lost in the cookies and you didn't taste them as much. Also, I did half a teaspoon of cinammon, half pumpkin pie spice. And per someones recommendation I sprinkled cinammon on top of the cookies - nice touch. I didn't have walnuts - used hazelnuts which were fine, but I'm betting walnuts would go better. Sometimes you make pumpkin cookies and you don't taste the pumpkin - you do here. You could even serve these along with your Thanksgiving meal instead of as a dessert if you were so inclined.
I made a double batch for card club on Saturday, and they were such a hit! I can't eat sugar, so I used 1 cup of Splenda instead of sugar. They were so moist and delicious that everyone asked for the recipe and took baggies of them home with them! Great as a sugar free food.

New Crysis 3 trailer shows the new Hunter multiplayer mode in action
The new Predator bow weapon should really come into its own
Cryteks latest gameplay trailer for Crysis 3 has landed and it shows off the new Hunter multiplayer mode.
The new Hunter mode is very much influenced by the classic Arnie flick, Predator and pits two Nanosuited hunters against 10 CELL troopers on console and 14 on PC in a fast-paced game of cat and mouse.
The video shows the particular advantages that the new Predator bow has for this particular mode as it allows the Nanosuit hunters to remain cloaked while attacking adding more tension to the combat.
Crysis 3 is due out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 at the beginning of 2013.

Williston will welcome the Christmas season this Saturday, Dec. 7 with activities in Heritage Park and a Christmas Parade down Noble Avenue. The parade, with this year's theme "A Christmas Story," will kick off at 6 p.m.
For the first time since 1923, the Williston Red Devils are in the finals of the state baseball tournament.
The home team will play Chipley tonight at 7:30 p.m. at JetBlue Park in Ft. Myers.
The Red Devils defeated Paxton 4-0 Monday night for the right to play in the finals.

An ordinance created the Williston Airport Committee to be an advisory council to the airport manager, but for almost two years committee activity has been suspended.
Cedar Key's former Mayor Eugene "Gene" Hodges was born into a politically connected family, an heir to knowing how to get things done for the island community and district that he represented in the Florida House from 1972 to 1988. His father, Randolph, was a state senator from 1952-62, a Senate President and later a lobbyist.
The son, a lifelong Democrat, made his mark in politics by being smart and likable. He used his quick wit that way a carpenter uses a wood plane–smoothing and finely shaping the final debate.
Home and business owners in the city of Williston can look for some savings on their fire/homeowners' insurance premiums thanks to the efforts of the Williston Fire Department.
City Manager Scott Lippmann announced Tuesday night that the city's ISO rating, the means by which fire protection is graded, was lowered from six to five. Lippmann added the new evaluation was 4.5 points from being a four, and can be appealed.
What that means is savings to the consumer because the better the fire protection, the less premiums are.
When told he had only five weeks to live, Rodger Howell, 63, sold everything he had and took to the open road with two horses and a dog. His goal: to live every day as if it were his last, visit family and friends and see America.
That was a year ago, and this week Howell passed through Williston on his quest to reach Niagara Falls by Christmas.
A former Tennessee police chief, Howell drives his buggy four days a week and rests three, plus he never travels on Sunday.
He averages 20-25 miles per day and enjoys meeting the people he encounters.
A shooting that left a Williston man dead last Saturday is still under investigation as authorities look to the public for information on who pulled the trigger that killed Leo Rives, 31.
According to the Levy County Sheriff's Office, a 911 call came in around 10:20 p.m. July 5. The caller reported a suspicious vehicle and a possible shooting.
Deputies and officers from the Williston Police Department responded to the scene at the intersection of NE 218 Avenue and NE 35 Street, east of the city.

That is really…elevated. Why are the tracks so high above the street?
What you don't see is that there is another set of tracks for LIRR that pass under this set directly behind where I was standing. This station is a connection between the LIRR and the Subway.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who served as the co-chair of the Democratic platform committee, said on Sunday that leaving the word "God" out of the party's platform was merely "an error of omission."
Dismissing claims that Democrats are anti-religion, Booker said criticizing the party for the omission was a "cheap shot."
"At the end of the day, people look at the platform before (with words like) 'faith,' 'religion,' 'clergy'—all of that was in there. All of those words were in there," he said on ABC's This Week. "It was an error of omission."
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., challenged Booker on the optics of Democratic delegates booing convention chairman Antonio Villaraigosa, the mayor of Los Angeles, during a revote of the platform to add the word "God" and language recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The language was added, over the objection of some vocal delegates in the convention hall.
"When the images are of people booing God, that's a tough image to overcome," Paul said.
Booker refuted Paul, however, saying the fact that President Obama intervened in the process shows a positive image of leadership.
"The platform committee may have done it. But when the president of the United States found out about it, he intervened," Booker said. "What Romney has done, when he's found out differences, he simply tried to stiff-arm them and distanced him from his platform. We have a party right now where our president and our platform are beautifully aligned. Let's talk about substantive differences now between platforms. Not this rhetorical stuff that's [used] to distract people."
Booker joked that "God can take care of himself," while also going after the Republican platform for its lack of language supporting abortion rights in cases of rape or incest.

Cheaper priced steak
Flatiron Steak, possibly? That would be my vote (and I like it better than any of the above mentioned...
re: The Professor
re: The Professor
re: The Professor
The Flat iron steak we grilled on Sunday night was absolutely spectacular! My husband and son could not stop raving about it, and we are all big rib eye steak lovers. It was tender and juicy, and 1.5# was perfect to feed the three of us, with no waste, bone or gristle. I just took it out of its package, dried it off and sprinkled both sides liberally with kosher salt. Set it over a rack on a sheet pan in the fridge for several hours until it was time to grill. Also sprinkled it with garlic powder, dried basil & oregano & a little more salt. My husband grilled it over medium high heat in our charcoal weber for 4 minutes a side. It was absolutely perfect! Here's a pic of my plate:
re: The Professor
Flatirons generally run about $6/lb out here in SoCal, and the only source I've found is the Kroger affiliates that sell them packaged. They drop to around $4 when they're pushing their sell dates, though. Now that Mrs. O is out of the critter-eating game, I'll get one of those to grill on her nights out with her gang, grill it to just still bloody in the middle, then wrap up and refrigerate about a third of it. A day or so late I'll slice that up, give it a quick sauté in butter, and have it with eggs. That might be even better than the dinner!
re: critter101
On the East coast its called bottom Sirloin flap meat. (Meat buyers guide # 1185A). I don't know the last time you bought it and whether it was graded or not but as of last week, wholesale case price for choice was about $5.30 lb, select about $5.00 lb.
I dry rub it with salt, pep & garlic... then let it sit overnight in the frig.
I then quickly sear the whole piece over screaming hot lump charcoal to char the outside. The sear only cooks about 3/16 of an inch into the meat.
I then cut 3/4 inch thick slices on the bias against the grain and lightly re-season.
The strips then go back on the screaming lump charcoal for a quick sear on each side to med - med/rare.
Flap meat is chewy like a mushy gumball at rare.
Not the most tender cut but certainly one of the most flavorful.
Maybe Chuck Eye steak? It's a portion cut from the place where the chuck meets the ribs. There are only a few of these per animal.
They have the flavor and tender character of Rib Eye (to which they are anatomically adjacent) but cost a good deal less. They don't have the toughness and long-cooking requirement of the Chuck proper. The only downside is that they have a diagonal bit of gristle that it not so worthy of eating, but you can just cut around it.
Here's a write-up:
re: Bada Bing
I have become a big fan of the chuck eye steak, which I only heard of about 2 years ago. My favorite is ribeye, but I'm on a small budget, so I've switched to chuck eye as my occasional treat. The trouble is that it isn't a cut easily found at all the supermarkets where I live (Maryland). It might be a regional thing, as I find it at Harris Teeter and Food Lion, which both come out of the south.
re: Bada Bing
I actually really like a chuck eye steak. My wife loves it when I cook her a rib eye, and try as I may I can't get her to accept anything else (except for skirt steak which she, we, love). Chuck eyes can be very well marbled, have a great taste, and are tender.
Flat irons are ok, but a little too minerally tasting for me. I don't like livers or hearts, and the flat iron has a similar taste.
I like top sirloin, choice grade if possible, very flavorful.
re: Puffin3
Strip loin ?????? Choice 0x1 boneless 180 strip loin surpassed 109 rib at an average historical whole sale price of about $8.35 LB. The only cut more expensive is the filet.
There may be a few large chains working off of long term fixed contract prices that have not passed on the increases yet but the current price is at all time historic highs.
GOOGLE: "Boxed beef prices." The daily wholesale prices of every cut are listed.

Borders, author hook up for 'Mitch Albom Live'
Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Mitch Albom interviews people for a living.
Sometimes it's for a newspaper column. Other times it's on his radio show or for an upcoming book.
Now, Albom will be conducting interviews for half-hour webisodes on Borders.com and MitchAlbom.com. They are free to viewers.
Each week, starting with Tuesday's launch, Albom will have unscripted conversations with celebrities, authors, musicians and others.
Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Borders Group Inc. is producing and co-sponsoring the show, which is called "Mitch Albom Live."
The first webisode features an interview with actress Drew Barrymore. Future installments include chats with singer Tony Bennett and director Kevin Smith.
Albom's latest book, "Have a Little Faith," was released last week.

In December, Paris bursts out of its sleepy autumn quiet and lights up-- literally and figuratively. Trees up and down the Champs-Elysées are strung with garlands of shimmering light, and many other places around the city are decorated in the same festive spirit. An ice-skating rink is set up on the plaza outside of Hôtel de Ville (Paris City Hall). Christmas markets spring up all around the city, with their warm wood-roofed booths, vin chaud (hot wine), enchanting decorations and gifts, and gourmet treats. Chanukah celebrations like menorah lightings add to Paris' holiday-season charm. There are also plenty of ways to celebrate a memorable Christmas in Paris.
With all the good cheer, Paris in December is nonetheless fairly relaxed, making the month an ideal time to take advantage of the city's many sights and attractions. Take your time exploring museums, sipping cinnamon-infused hot wine, or attending a special holiday concert. Have a real retreat from the holiday madness back home and try taking Paris in frame by frame, like a painter would.
Because of the seasonal rush and a corresponding spike in fares, travel to Paris in December can be costly-- so make sure to reserve your plane or train tickets well in advance.
The December Thermometer
- Minimum temperature: 3 degrees C (37.4 degrees F)
- Maximum temperature: 7 degrees C (44.6 degrees F)
- Average temperature: 4 degrees C (39.2 degrees F)
- Average rainfall: 49 millimeters (1.9 inches)
How to Pack
December in Paris is generally cold, and often rainy or icy. Temperatures approach or descend below zero. Snow is rare and when it does come it usually melts on hitting the ground, often turning into a sludgy slush that can be both irritating and dangerous to navigate without good traction on your shoes. Wind chill can make cold seem more biting.
- Make sure to stock your suitcase with warm cotton or wool sweaters, scarves, coats, and socks. Bring at least one or two warm turtlenecks, and line your bags with clothes that are easy to layer.
- A sturdy umbrella is a must, as flimsier ones often won't withstand sudden downpours or gusts of wind.
- Bring at least two pairs of shoes, both waterproof. One pair should provide good traction in case of snow or ice. Heels should be reserved for indoor events as the streets can be slick or icy. If your feet get cold easily, bring a pair of comfortable waterproof boots.
- A pair of light waterproof gloves and a hat can make walking around more comfortable, but you won't need anything approaching snow or ski gear. Places like New York and Chicago get much colder in the winter.
- Toting around a small thermos for hot drinks can be a good way to keep motivated in the Paris winter wonderland.
- One more word of advice on packing: since this is shopping season, you may want to think about packing as lightly as you can to reserve space in your suitcase for holiday delicacies or gifts you plan to bring back home.

Four months ago Maryann Mitts was looking forward to the 2013-14 basketball season.
"I was really excited about all our returning players," she said. "We had signed two players as of the first of June, and we were finishing up with our last post recruit in July."
But then came a job opportunity that was too good to pass up.
As a result, Mitts announced her retirement as Missouri Southern's women's basketball coach on Tuesday and accepted a teaching position in the school's kinesiology department.
"The position was posted, and I obviously have a passion to teach," Mitts said. "Coaching is teaching, so I've been teaching my whole professional career. I've had experience in the classroom. I've always taught one class a semester during my tenure. I have a passion for teaching, and when the opportunity presented itself, I applied and was offered the position.
"I think all coaches at some point in their career will look at other possibilities. I always believed that those other opportunities for me would fall in athletic administration."
Mitts came to Missouri Southern in 2001, inheriting a program that had won 10 games the previous season and a total of 25 games in the prior four seasons.
Mitts directed the Lions to a 189-145 record in her 12-year tenure. The 2003-04 team went 19-9, and a seven-game winning streak in February included back-to-back home victories over No. 9 Washburn 63-60 in overtime and 52-45 over No. 4 Emporia State.
"I'd like to thank Coach Mitts for her service to Missouri Southern," MSSU athletics director Jared Bruggeman said in a release. "For the past dozen years she has been the face of Missouri Southern women's basketball. Her tireless effort on and off the court can be seen in her players and in her coaches, and the results that her teams accomplished are what other coaches who come along will be judged by. I want to personally wish her luck in her next venture as a college professor."
Mitts went 83-57 in five seasons as head coach at her alma mater, Rockhurst, giving her a 272-201 career record.
"I want to thank my family, especially my parents, for their love and support during my career," Mitts said. "College coaching is a lifestyle full of daily demands, including most weekends and all major holidays. I look forward to reconnecting with my immediate family.
"I want to thank all my former student-athletes who have represented Missouri Southern. Many of them are currently leaders in their chosen vocations. A special thanks and my appreciation goes out to Sallie Beard fro providing me this opportunity back in 2001 and for her professional mentoring over the years.
"I have a passion for Missouri Southern and a love for the women's basketball program. It has been my complete honor to serve and continue to serve MSSU and the Joplin community."

From Staff Reports
Cumberland Times-News
CUMBERLAND — Lexie Metz scored the only goal of the night, early in the second half, as top-ranked Mountain Ridge shut out fourth-ranked Allegany Tuesday night at Greenway Avenue Stadium.
It was the third shutout of the season and second in a row for Mountain Ridge (4-0 overall, 4-0 AMAC). The loss was the first of the season for Allegany (1-1-2, 1-1).
Mountain Ridge held a distinct edge in shots but the only one that found the net was when Metz scored on an assist from Niven Hegeman in the 48th minute.
Chelsea Muir got the shutout with three saves for the Miners. Tori Bohrer had a much busier night in goal, making 23 saves for Allegany.
The Miners will host the Mountain Ridge Shootout on Friday and Saturday. Allegany's next game will be Monday night at Northern.

Founder of UK Law Firm Freshfields Represented Slave Owners
Posted Jun 30, 2009 12:31 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The 19th-century founder of the British law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer had links to slavery, a newspaper investigation has found.
The Financial Times reports that Freshfields founder James William Freshfield and his sons represented several slave owners, mostly from the Caribbean, and acted as trustees of the owners' estates.
However, Freshfield also had anti-slavery credentials. He was an active member of the Church Missionary Society, "which was committed to ... the abolition of the slave trade," the law firm said.
Reuters noted the Financial Times story.
