BRADENTON -- The year 2055 will mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of Manatee County, and those alive at that time will get to see the reopening of a time capsule filled with artifacts from 2013.
The metal capsule, one of which was provided to all 67 Florida counties by the State of Florida Division of Library Services, was sealed Thursday before a crowd at the Manatee County Central Library.
The capsules are part of 2013's VIVA Florida 500, which celebrates the 500th anniversary of Juan Ponce de Leon's arrival on Florida's east coast.
Unlike many time capsules that are buried, this one will stay above ground, circulating through the county for the next 42 years, enticing those who see it at local libraries, schools, government buildings and special events to wonder what future residents will think of the life we all led in Manatee in 2013.
"We packed as much into it as we could," said Pam Gibson, director of the Florida History Room at the Manatee Public Library.
Among the items jammed into the capsule are Hernando DeSoto Historical coins, a commemorative ornament of the new Manatee Performing Arts Center, a commemorative pen from the opening of the new MCAT bus station downtown, a signed pre-opening team T-shirt from Hampton Inn & Suites, and T-shirts from Realize Bradenton and the Farmer's Market.
Somehow Ericka Dow, a supervisor with the Manatee County Public Library, Gibson and the rest of the capsule team managed to insert Village of the Arts brochures, Manatee County Library flyers, a Manatee County annual report, local social service agency pamphlets and the Nov. 14, 2013 edition of the Bradenton Herald.
The capsule also contains many photographs from 2013 life.
The library held a photo contest for the capsule and the winners were Melissa Fox, Sue Callaghan and Dianne Joseph.
Fox submitted three photos including her winner, a shot of the Gulf of Mexico interacting with wood pilings at the southern tip of Coquina Beach.
"I love to watch the way nature works with man-made objects in our county," Fox said.
The capsule also contains the winning essay in a capsule contest that focused on either a "Letter to the Future" or "Life in Manatee in 2013."
Allison Fusaro won the essay contest with her writing, which touched upon the friendliness of people in Manatee County in 2013.
Fusaro, 18, a 2013 Manatee High School graduate, is a member of the Manatee youth organization, Young Lyfe and works at Smoothie King near Manatee High.
"I have decided I will live in Manatee County for all of my life because of the warmth of the people and the place," Fusaro said after Thursday's event. "I plan to be here for the capsule opening. I guess I'll just be 60."
Speaking of age, Manatee County commissioner Larry Bustle got laughs when he told the crowd at the event that he wants a seat to be saved for him at the opening of the capsule. Given that he has already led a very full life, his appearance in 42 years will rival the deeds of some Biblical figures.
"Our goal with the capsule is to celebrate our heritage, our people and our culture," said Bustle, who was on hand along with fellow commissioners Betsy Benac, John Chappie and Michael Gallen.
Bustle also joked that it would be great if the capsule had a piece of pizza in it, one of Manatee's favorite foods.
The actual sealing of the capsule was quite interesting.
Gibson and David Breakfield, a librarian from State College of Florida, first inserted a "gel pak" to absorb moisture. Then, they inserted a package of oxygen absorbers. Next came an automotive product called Pro-Seal designed to act as an instant gasket. Kind of a red goop, it was applied to the perimeter of the capsule. The cap was then put on and protective wax put over the cap.
There was only one thing all the librarians didn't know and could only whisper about as is their way.
"We have no idea how they will get the capsule open," Dow said.

A man is in custody for allegedly robbing women in Lake Elsinore.
Adrian Gamas, 27, of Lake Elsinore was arrested Wednesday after a detective pieced together evidence from two separate robberies in the city.
In the middle of the day on Jan. 31, Gamas allegedly approached a woman and her 9-year-old daughter who were using an ATM at the Lakeshore Drive Bank of America.
"The suspect brandished a knife at the female victim and daughter and ordered her to withdraw $200," according to a news release from the Lake Elsinore Police Department.
The woman let the suspect withdraw the money from her account; after he got the cash, he fled in a white Toyota Tundra, the release stated.
Then in the middle of the day on Feb. 1, an elderly woman was robbed as she exited the Target store on Collier Avenue. According to the news release, the victim was getting into her vehicle and placed her purse on the passenger seat; the robber allegedly opened the passenger door and grabbed the handbag.
"The suspect was chased by the victim around several cars in an attempt to retrieve her purse. The suspect eventually dropped the purse and fled the area in a green Honda Accord," the news release stated.
A witness got the license plate number.
Then on Wednesday, police received video from Bank of America that depicted the alleged Jan. 31 armed robbery. A detective who viewed video from both the Target purse theft and the armed robbery determined it was the same suspect.
Further investigation by detectives on Wednesday led them to the 200 block of Peck Street in Lake Elsinore, where the white Toyota truck had been seen earlier.
When detectives arrived the truck was not at the location, but a detective spotted the vehicle in the area of Lakeshore Drive and Riverside Drive. A felony traffic stop was made and the suspect was taken into custody, according to the news release.
At 6:50 p.m. Wednesday, a search warrant was served in the 29000 block of Jernigan where the suspect allegedly resides. The green Honda Accord that police say was used in the purse theft was located at the residence.

Can the daughter of an Illinois turkey farmer find happiness as a Playboy Bunny in San Francisco? "Definitely," says January Playmate Leslie Bianchini, who is precisely that. "Even though we left the farm and moved to California when I was ten," she explains, "down deep, I'm still a country girl. You know, the great outdoors, horses, exercise, all that. I don't especially like most cities, but San Francisco is different, somehow. It has a unique personality, happy and melancholy all at once. It's an endlessly refreshing place that I just love to explore." Following graduation from high school in Woodside, California, Leslie tried her hand as a business major at Foothill College, worked as a salesgirl at Saks and then "loafed for a while" before becoming the Door Bunny at her favorite city's hutch. "It's the perfect job for me and I'd like to stay with it for some time. I've met all sorts of interesting people and the great thing is that my days are my own." Since Leslie is the enthusiastic owner of a pet pony named Toby, she spends several afternoons a week out at the stables, exercising him; on other days Miss January - who commutes from nearby San Carlos - is likely to indulge her passion for clothes by embarking on a shopping trip to the city. "I spend an embarrassing amount of money on clothing," she admits, "but I'm crazy about the new fashions. They're so bright and ingenious that I can't get enough of them." Her rambles through the Bay City often become dusty searches through resale shops for antiques ("I keep hoping to find a five-dollar Tiffany lamp, but still, junky things I can fix up are fun"), and they frequently turn into impromptu sight-seeing tours. "I guess it's my version of wanderlust. I've always wanted to go to Europe; but until I do, I suppose I'll always be a hometown tourist." A practice, we're sure you'll agree, that should encourage travelers to see San Francisco first.

Raw Japan
Slices of Japanese business, politics and life
Buff, bronze and beautiful
For the national holiday, Sports Day, I had a fitting assignment – a women's bodybuilding competition in Tokyo.
It was my first time to cover bodybuilding, and as soon as I entered the venue I heard cheers from the 1,500 spectators eyeing 68 athletes from across Japan.
I hurried backstage to catch the competitors' last preparations before the judging, and followed a trail of plastic, blanketing the floor, walls and furniture to protect the surroundings from the oil and skin toner creams covering the contestants.
Opening a door with a plastic-covered knob, I found the waiting room with over 30 bronzed and muscular women in bathing suits, aged from 27 to 56 and preparing for the stage.
Suspect shocks as much as the crime
It wasn't just the arrest of a high-ranking bureaucrat suspected of falsifying paperwork in a multi-billion yen fraud that astounded the Japanese media this week. It was the fact that she was a woman.
Atsuko Muraki, a senior official at the Health and Welfare Ministry, was arrested on Monday on suspicion of issuing a fake certificate to allow a group involved in direct mail marketing to claim a disability discount on postal costs. "Female ace arrested," ran the headline in the Sankei newspaper, next to a picture of the long-haired Muraki, and other media offered a similar angle.

Bang Bang, Fox's anticipated Indian remake of Knight And Day, has dropped a teaser in what is shaping up to be a hot week for Bollywood. The film stars Hrithik Roshan, who underwent brain surgery last year to remove a blood clot, causing a delay in production and moving the release date from May to October 2 this year — the anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's birth. It's also the start of the four-day Dussehra Hindu festival weekend holiday. Siddharth Anand directs Bang Bang, which also stars Katrina Kaif. Roshan, who's a bona fide star at home with a growing international profile (his wax likeness stands at Madame Tussaud's in the UK), most recently starred in superhero pic Krrish 3. That film broke records in India in 2013. A special screening of the Bang Bang teaser was hosted in India this week and set social media abuzz. Here's a look:

Associated Press
---- — DETROIT (AP) — Today's lesson: Are graduates of the largest Michigan law school entitled to a tuition refund if they don't find satisfactory jobs? Not according to a federal appeals court.
The court ruled Tuesday in a case involving a dozen unhappy graduates from Thomas M. Cooley Law School, which has campuses across Michigan and in Tampa, Fla.
The graduates claimed they were fooled by rosy employment statistics published by the school. The appeals court, however, said Michigan's consumer protection law doesn't apply, and the graduates put too much reliance on Cooley's job survey of other graduates.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, 3-0, affirmed a similar decision by a federal judge in Grand Rapids.
"Our survey was reported accurately, not fraudulently. That's the bottom line of the case," said James Thelen, Cooley's general counsel.
The graduates who sued Cooley said they had difficulty finding full-time, paid jobs. Shane Hobbs of Pennsylvania graduated in 2010 but has worked as a substitute teacher and at a golf course. Danny Wakefield of Utah graduated in 2007 but ended up managing the delivery of phone books, according to the 6th Circuit decision.
The Cooley graduates accused the school of fraud by reporting in 2010 that 76 percent of graduates were employed within nine months. The graduates claimed that should be interpreted as full-time positions requiring a law degree. But it actually included jobs outside law.
The appeals court said it wasn't fraud because it wasn't false.

Original recipe yields 1 - 9 inch cheesecake
- Grind the chocolate wafers and 3 ounces of chocolate in a food processor; the crumbs should be small. Mix in 3 tablespoons of sugar. Melt 7 tablespoons of butter or margarine, and add it to the chocolate crumbs. Press into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
- Melt 12 ounces of chocolate, and cool slightly. Blend in cream cheese, 1 3/4 cups sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup cream, cocoa, vanilla, and peppermint extract. Pour this in crust. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cool overnight.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and 1/4 cup sugar. Pour on top of cooled cheesecake. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C). Chill for 6 to 8 hours.
- To decorate the cheesecake make a chocolate icing. In a small saucepan, simmer 1/2 cup cream and 1 tablespoon butter. Add to this 6 ounces of chocolate, and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Freeze until the mixture is piping consistency (stir occasionally). Using a pastry bag, pipe a lattice on the top.

I made this recipe for my dad's birthday. The cheesecake part was a hit but the sour cream topping ended up being scraped off by most. Next time I'll just stick to a chocolate top layer. Thank you.
Excellent recipe. I only changed one thing: I used chocolate graham crackers instead of wafer cookies for crust. I melted the chocolate along with 8 tablespoons of butter and blended it in with the crumbled graham crackers, and pressed it into a 10" springform. I followed the recipe exactly for the filling, but ended up with about 1/4 cup too much (even for a 10" pan!), which I discarded. I baked above a water bath. When it had cooled overnight, I made the glaze as the recipe called for as well as added about 1/8 cup of Bailey's Irish Cream and it gave the glaze a nice mild taste of liquor as well as slight coloring. Thank you Bonny for the wonderful recipe! I will definitely make this again.
If you love the combination of mint and chocolate, this cheesecake is AWESOME! It is well worth the time and effort involved. My only suggestion is to use a 10-inch rather than a 9-inch pan, in order to fit the whole mixture. I made this recipe for a party, and had none left over, much to my chagrin!

|Security pros less confident in storage safety
Securing storage
In a post-Sept. 11 world, companies take information security seriously. In our survey, 63% of the respondents described their IT departments as extremely diligent when it comes to information security, and about half of that number said their IT groups address information security when necessary. But when asked if their storage infrastructure was secure, 8% of storage professionals said it was insecure, while 16% of security experts concurred (see "Security pros less confident in storage safety"). Those numbers may seem modest, but when it comes to security, 8% and 16% are significant figures.
Storage security still lags behind the efforts that IT departments put into securing other information processing resources. In many IT shops, the storage group is a security island. Networking, application and system groups often collaborate on security policies, procedures and technologies, while storage teams are left on their own. This was confirmed by the 30% of respondents who said their security policies and procedures didn't include storage arrays, storage area network (SAN) switches and storage management software.
A knowledge gap also contributes to lax storage security. The survey suggests that storage staffs are undereducated about security and security gurus lack storage intelligence. Storage teams often relegate security to zoning and LUN masking, which are small parts of the total picture. And security pros typically focus on defending the network with firewalls, antivirus software and intrusion detection systems--a long distance from the SAN infrastructure. With the growing use of network technologies, Internet applications and distributed storage, the groups need to learn more about each other's worlds.
|Storage not immune to security breaches
Storage security breaches
One of the more alarming survey statistics relates to storage security breaches that could result in business disruption or intellectual property theft. While 73% of users didn't have a storage security breach, 7% said they had. Additionally, 12% didn't know if they'd had a breach, while another 8% said that they couldn't tell. Taken together, the 27% adds up to a significant number of real or potential threats (see "Storage not immune to security breaches").
Of the respondents who experienced a security breach, 64% also said their companies were diligent about security; 9% of those whose security practices included storage reported having had a breach. An optimistic analysis might conclude that companies with a commitment to security are far more likely to find storage security breaches and may also have policies in place to minimize the damages. But another perspective reveals a more ominous trend. If firms with strong security processes report the highest percentage of security breaches, it's logical to assume that the potential for storage security problems are even greater for companies with less-dedicated security efforts.
Three-quarters of the survey respondents said the source of a storage security breach is likely to come from within the company. Forty-one percent felt that the probable source would be a deliberate attack by an IT employee, while 33% said human error was the most likely culprit.
Strong physical security and well-defined HR policies can help mitigate security threats related to malicious employees. Physical security improvements may include data center access controls, security cameras and careful screening of visitors accessing IT resources. HR policies can include employee background checks, security training and strict penalties for violations.

"Airplanes" is one of the least tolerable songs Clear Channel favorite-d last summer. Popular antagonizer Tyler, the Creator doesn't like it, has said so in public— the lyric in question is i'll crash that fuckin' airplane at that faggot nigga b.o.b is in, from "Yonkers." Today B.o.B. (who in addition to "Airplanes" also released a whole tape of awesomely limber, mad raps this year) gave Tyler some attention via diss track. Bobby Ray calls Tyler a beginner (and a dolphin!), a reasonable complaint maybe, but also one that sort of misses the point. People are excited about Tyler because (he's a really good performer with a unique, well handled voice plus good business savvy and cool clothes and) he's new at this and an authentically curious dude, meddling in his new field enthusiastically.
Tyler paused to listen, had this to say:
So, consider this beef squashed? Still Tyler's no peacemaker. Here's a new fight in the making:

The blacks want their mayor in office. Their interests are better served with one of their own. Far too many black families in Youngstown are suffering for various reasons the most prominent of which is economic. Betras has drawn the battle lines and the black community is not going to back down. Like it or not they feel that Kitchen can better relate to their plight. They are not going to support one not of their choosing.

Forty years ago this week, National Guard tanks rumbled onto the streets of Youngstown to quell rioting fueled by rage over the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Angry loose-knit gangs of young people set buildings afire, turned over cars, fought and fired indiscriminately at law enforcers.
The man who killed the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was captured and jailed. The riots ended and life proceeded in a new direction.
Today far too many are out of work. The family unit has disintergrated. Drugs are plentiful. The prisons are filling up fast. A man of vision needs to arise and change this scenario.

Why Let's Adopt Feeds RAW
Dear Friends,
I know most of you don't agree with me on this issue but once again I need to tell you about why I feed my animals raw and why it is one of the three conditions for adoption of our animals to feed them raw.
There are many reasons why, after a lifetime spent in company of dogs I have come to this conclusion but I will summarize them in one:
Dog s and cats are carnivores, and carnivores evolved to eat meat. Raw meat. No man-made diet can hope to compare to fresh natural whole food.
The rest is pure logic… better dental health, improved inmune system, no more allergy issues, improved muscle tone, and in the long run, a fuller and happier life.
Contrary to pet shops and veterinary clinics I have nothing to sell you. My only interest is the health of our animals. And even if none of you ever decided to do the right thing and switch to raw I couldn't really care less.. but I do care about the kind of life the animals that fall under the responsibility of this group will have for the rest of their life.. and this is why Raw Feeding is an essential condition to fulfill if you want to adopt (or foster) one of our animals.
I suggest you have a look at this sites and continue your research from here.
Note: I will answer any questions you may have, but I wont engage in lengthy discussions about issues that are clearly explained in those two amazing websites.

short nd sweet…'i agree'…nature is my guide' nature i follow…'nature doesnt provide pots nd pans…'often i spend my time looking at animals 'thou we r al animals just rational'…'wonder sumtimes who is more rational:) a beauty of a tree 'they al ask 4nothing but the opposite 'they keep giving'
I totally agree on health benefits related to carnivores eating raw meat. However, I strongly believe that the raw food should come from ethically treated animals – raised and killed in a humane way. And no hormones or antibiotics. Also, cats and dogs are domesticated for thousands of years and there is no harm if they eat some non-meat product as treats. My Lakita LOVES organic Spartan apples, and she gets them for a snack.

our hotel: silken puerta america madrid
tiany's amazing shoes
gorgeous partner in crime vicky at breakfast
as promised the first photos of the C&A reimagine event in madrid. one city, two days, one night, eight designers, twenty bloggers and journalists. c&a invited us to madrid to introduce their "reimagine" campaign to us. they invited eight designers from eight countries to reinvent everyday objects such as forks, knifes, cups etc. (those creations will be used as a window decoration in c&a's biggest stores).
after taking the early flight and settling at the amazing hotel, we got to know the designers and their creations while sipping champaign and some snacks. after we enjoyed a little tour of madrid, which i will tell you about in a different post. the day ended with a lovely dinner, i personally skipped the party, since i was quite tired out and wanted to be fit for the next day. even though, to be frank, c&a was not a company i had any relation to in the first place, i was really amazed by the whole project and the idea of sustainability behind it.

Die Bilder sind unglaublich schön. Ich bin schon gespannt auf die Bilder direkt von Madrid. War schon in eigenen spanischen Städten, aber dort noch nicht.

February 7, 2006
The third and final teen guilty of a brutal double homicide was sentenced today.
Jessica Fugett will probably never see outside of her prison walls again. A judge today sentenced Fugett to serve 100 years in prison for what he called the senseless and brutal murders of a mother and her three year old son.
Jessica was 15 when she, her brother and their friend, Robert Davis, robbed and killed their Crozet neighbor Nola Charles. Jessica will be 19 when she's sent to prison for her murder and if she lives long enough 118 before she's eligible for release.
"A 100 year active sentence for Jessica Fugett. I think the court directly ascertained is one of the leaders of this very vicious and brutal crime," said Albemarle Commonwealth Attorney Jim Camblos.
The Commonwealth said in February 2003 it was Jessica who carried the duck tape used to tie Charles' arms and feet and it was she who brought the knife used to cut her throat. The group then set a fire to destroy any evidence. Charles' three year-old son Thomas died in that blaze.
Last November, Jessica was found guilty of both murders. At the sentencing today the Commonwealth showed the judge video of Jessica smiling and waving at our camera minutes after the judge rendered his verdict. Poof, they said, Jessica has no remorse.
"You would think that someone who was truly remorseful after being convicted of crimes like that would be absolutely devastated," said Camblos.
As for the family devastated by the loss of a wife and child, the Commonwealth hopes they'll find closure in what amounts to a life sentence for Jessica.
"It's been a tragedy all the way around but the families of the victims are pleased its over," said Camblos.
Jessica's attorney told us the sentence was harsh and he may appeal the judge's ruling.
As for the other teens involved in the murders, Jessica's brother, Rocky Fugett, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 75 years in prison. Robert Davis entered an Alford plea and was sentenced to 23 years.

The Bethel Wildcats Girls Track and Field Team hosted Pomperaug, Bunnell, and Notre Dame-Fairfield Tuesday afternoon at Bethel High School. The Wildcats ran their way to two wins against Bunnell and Notre Dame, and lost a close meet to Pomperaug.
Despite the loss to Pomperaug, Coach Christopher Ciparelli said his team had two "good wins" over Bunnell and Notre Dame-Fairfield. Pomperaug won nine events, Bethel won six and Bunnell three. Bethel took home wins in the 400m, 300m hurdles, 200m, 3200m, 4X400 relay and the discus.
Lucy Daniels won the 400m in just over a minute, coming in at 63 seconds.
Lizzie Morton won the 300m hurdles with a time of 47.4. She will attend Sacred Heart this fall and run track there.
Deanna Weiner won the 200m with a time of 26.7.
Victoria Maceira used the final lap of her 3200 meter race to take over first place from Pomperaug. She turned in a time of 12:43.4. Bethel's Sarah Whalen came in third in the event.
Ciparelli recognized Maceira's accomplishments on the day. "In the 3200, Victoria Maceira, she's a freshman, had a great day," Ciparelli said. "In the past few meets she has taken about 30 seconds off her time. She went from just qualifying for SWC's, to just being four seconds off of qualifying for states. She ran a 12:43.4, and state qualifying is 12:40."
The 4X400 relay team of Daniels, Alex Hernandez, Weiner and Morton won in a time of 4:18.3. Morton had a sizeable lead going into the final lap, and was able to keep the margin for victory despite Pomperaug's anchor runner's quick start.
Becca Leinhardt threw the discus 91' 8" to round out Bethel's victories at the meet.
The Wildcats had numerous PR's, or personal records, at the meet. "We really had a good all around day," said Ciparelli. "Our 4X400 ran the fastest time this season- 4:18.3. We had a number of girls run state qualifying times in the 100M. Our 4X800 ran a PR as well."
"It is getting to the point in the season where you expect to see PR's, and you expect to see times fall," Ciparelli said. "It is all starting to kick in. We have one more meet here next week, and then we have SWC here."
Next week, Bethel will host Joel Barlow, New Fairfield and Immaculate. Ciparelli said he knows his girls will be going up against some of the best in the SWC, just as his team is starting to hit its stride. He said: "We have Barlow in the next meet, and they're kind of a powerhouse. We're going to give them everything we have."
In timed sports such as swimming and diving, and of course track and field, the regular season is meant to give your athletes a chance to qualify for the South West Conference Championships and Connecticut State Championships at the end of the season.
Coach Ciparelli hopes his team's hard work this season will translate into a good showing in the post season. "Right now, I want us to have a good team record, but I really want to see the girls setting PR's all over the place. I want to get as many girls in SWC's and states as we can."

One of the last natural stream beds on the floor of the San Fernando Valley is an ugly sight.
The nearly two-mile stretch of the Pacoima Wash between the intersection of Woodman Avenue and Lassen Street south to Parthenia Street is a weedy, dusty eyesore littered with shopping carts and household trash. Apartment buildings back up to it. Graffiti mar fences along it. And in at least one place, a junkyard juts 20 feet into it.

There's been several legislative efforts in the last few years to require judges recuse when attorneys contribute to their judicial campaigns. An Oklahoma House bill (HB 2251) takes this one step further and makes such contributions unlawful.
HB 1543 would amend the state's Attorneys and the State Bar Statute (Title 5) to add the following:
It shall be unlawful for an attorney to make any contribution to a candidate for judicial office. For purposes of this section, "judicial office" means all elective offices for district judge, associate district judge and offices for which Declarations of Candidacy are filed with the State Election Board.
There is no indication what the punishment for violation of the provision would be.
This is not the first time Oklahoma's considered such a plan. In 2008 HB 2251 was introduced, using the exact same language as HB 1543 of 2013, but by a different member of the Oklahoma House (Rep. Marian Cooksey in 2008; Rep. Ken Walker in 2013).
- Previous Entry: Oklahoma's effort to ban court use of international/sharia law having been held unconstitutional, new version introduced avoids using word "sharia"
- Next Entry: Arizona bill purports to grant supreme court power to license attorneys; would require supreme court allow online law school graduates take bar exam

Who's on your top 5?
I'd like to see Madonna do the raw thing...I think she's macrobiotic right now. I know she eats quite healthy...all-organic...and she seems powerful at starting trends...
1.) Jared from Subway
2.) Al Roker
3.) Bobby Flay
4.) Star Jones
5.) Ty Pennington
Scratch Bobby Flay.....how about Jamie Oliver. The Naked Chef should become the Raw Naked Chef. That would be tight.
1) Oprah (cause that's already, like, 1/3 of America)
2) George W. Bush (just for the freak factor of it)
3) CEO of McDonalds
4) Sufjan Stevens
5) Cookie Monster
haha jason's was funny. i think cheney going raw would be even more unsettling. it would certainly put an end to the game shooting. then again....
1. My family (cause want them to live LONG and happy... count as one?)
2. James Gandolfini (love him, and getting all that mucous out might minimize the nasal breathing we have to listen to throughout all of his Sopranos scenes)
3. Anthony Bourdain (author of Kitchen Confidential and harsh critic of vegan and raw food who could use a good cleansing)
4. Dick Cheney (it might just make Dr. Evil a little less evil)
5. Britney Spears (cause she needs it so badly and looks like she's preggers again, so it's a two-for-one)
MICHAEL. MOORE. 'Nuff said.

Figured I better put a post up before this things dies on me! Been pretty busy out here and haven't had time for blogging, but things are good - actually they are really damn good. The new job is going great - very enjoyable and I am working with one of the best teams of folks I have ever worked with.
Getting back into the trap shooting mode again after a few weeks off - went out last weekend with my two buddies and shot 4 rounds - a couple of 24's and 23's, so that was a good thing. I wish I could say I was missing the hard targets, but every single miss was more-or-less a straight-away shot. I just need to concentrate on those better! Going out again Sunday to get a few rounds in before the Super Bowl.
Well, I need to get moving here and hop in the shower - we are interviewing folks all day for a position on our team, I think there are 5 candidates altogether, so it will be a looong day.
I hope everyone is doing good out there and I apologize for the lack of posting.

They have brought it back with Wayne Brady doing the honors now, but when I was growing up, the original was airing on TV for the first time. There were not a whole lot of choices on TV back then to watch, and most were a lot different than they are now. So it was fun to see people willing to dress up in crazy costumes, trying to draw the attention of Monty so that they could play the game. Sometimes I catch reruns on TVLand and it is still fun to watch the goofiness.
I want to talk today about another deal maker. It is called us and God. Sometimes we try to be deal makers, but more often than not we're just deal breakers. Even Satan tried to tempt Jesus and make deals with Him.
This is from the New American Standard Bible
Luke 4 The Temptation of Jesus
1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry. 3 And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread." 4 And Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.'" 5 And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours." 8 Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"
9 And he led Him to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here; 10 for it is written,
11 and,
'ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP,
12 And Jesus answered and said to him, "It is said, 'YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"
13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.
Notice verse 12. "You shall not put the Lord your God to the test."
How many of us have tried to make a deal with God?
"Lord, if you let me win the lottery, I'll start tithing."
"Lord, if you help me to find the right mate for me, I'll stop spending all my time in the bars."
"Lord if you provide this, then I will do this."
Sound familiar? We need to beware of our actions and not do things that are contrary to what the bible teaches us. The passage above is a very familiar one to many of us who grew up in church. Preachers love to talk about the time when Jesus was tempted by the devil right before He started His ministry. Notice when Jesus succeeds in the temptations, he is attended to by the angels and then he starts his ministry by preaching in Galilee where word about the happenings are already spreading among the people. Notice that Jesus didn't even have to introduce himself as he went to the villages. God prepared the way for him so that he would be more effective, especially at the baptism by John the Baptist. (read chapter 3 sometime.)
God will do the same for us. He will make a way for us when we do what He asks us to do, or not do. We simply need to obey His will, and quit trying to make ours become His. Then God can and will provide for us. Does that mean we'll win the lottery? NO. Odds are 1 in 175,223,510.00. And that is if you buy a ticket. Does that mean you'll meet your mate that God planned for you in a bar? Probably not. Most people that hang in bars are not the people who are going to be serving God like they should. (not all though, some people like to mingle, some people use them as a ministry, such as the CMA motorcyclists ministry.)
Stop today and ask God what He wants You to do today to live a live in accordance to His Will. Then start to be that person. Live that life. And then, watch what God will do.
Our God, is an awesome God,
He reigns, from heaven above,
With wisdom, power and love,
Our God is an awesome God.
(Awesome God chorus by Rich Mullins)

The Cullman Times
HANCEVILLE — The Tom Drake Coliseum is usually home to Wallace State, but early Saturday evening, it began to look a bit more like West Point's personal playpen, as the Warriors wrapped up its second Cullman County Championship of the day in the junior varsity boys game.
Levi Laney rode a third-quarter hot streak till the final buzzer and Will Wrenn brought his A-game from behind the arc in West Point's 51-37 upset of top-seeded Vinemont, leaving the Warriors' JV boys to savor a three-peat.
"It means a lot," said Laney, who landed on the All-Tournament Team for the second year in a row. "Everybody on the team helped out, from Clay (Kent) being a leader in the locker room getting us up, to the coaches practicing hard. We just came together as a team and won it."
The No. 1 Eagles entered the final contest of the 2012-13 campaign with a 12-1 record and a win over West Point earlier in the season. Neither of those facts seemed to matter on Saturday, though, as the Warriors used their run-'n'-gun style offense and lockdown defense to take over from the get-go.
West Point held comfortable 16-7, 21-15 and 37-27 cushions at the quarter breaks.
"We got to play the two teams (Vinemont and Fairview) that beat us in the regular season in this tournament, so it just kind of gave us motivation to come out here and take it back," said Wrenn, who also garnered All-Tournament honors.
After a sluggish two-point first half, Laney really turned on the jets in the third quarter. He smoothly knocked down two jumpers early and then nailed back-to-back 3-pointers to seal a 10-point outburst in the frame. Laney picked up seven more points in the fourth to improve his final total to 19.
"The team picked me up in the first half, so I had to do something to help the team win it," Laney said. "And we did it. It was the team."
West Point's Wrenn missed his fair share of early shots but never thought twice about taking open attempts whenever he was presented with them. That turned out to be a positive for the Warriors, who received two treys and 10 points from the sophomore.
Bryant Farley used his speed to drive the lane for eight points. Trent Campbell contributed six points off the bench, Riley Voce score five points and Zack Tilley had three.
Vinemont's Austan Hedgecock scattered a team-high 13 points throughout the title tilt. Trey Waldrep and Tyler Tucker each tallied six points, while Trey Tucker was good for five.
Austin Mosley and Hunter Rollins, who were both named to the All-Tournament finished with three points apiece.
Bo Wright sank a free throw for the Eagles.
Holly Pond's Matt Cahoon and Nathan Duke, as well as Chance Hill and Dylan Smith, also earned spots on the tournament's top team.
Laney was obviously pleased to see West Point with two 2013 county championships — JV and ninth-grade boys — to its credit after his ballgame, but he mentioned that the Warriors' varsity boys still had unfinished business to tend to versus Fairview later in the night.
"We need one more," he said as he walked off the floor.

Worldwide Media Tablets Sales to Reach 119 Million Units in 2012
Meer items
Worldwide media tablet sales to end users are forecast to total 118.9 million units in 2012, a 98 per cent increase from 2011 sales of 60 million units, according to Gartner, Inc.
Apple's iOS continues to be the dominant media tablet operating system (OS), as it is projected to account for 61.4 per cent of worldwide media tablet sales to end users in 2012 (see Table 1). Despite the arrival of Microsoft-based devices to this market, and the expected international rollout of the Kindle Fire, Apple will continue to be the market leader through the forecast period.
"Despite PC vendors and phone manufacturers wanting a piece of the pie and launching themselves into the media tablet market, so far, we have seen very limited success outside of Apple with its iPad," said Carolina Milanesi, research vice president at Gartner. "As vendors struggled to compete on price and differentiate enough on either the hardware or ecosystem, inventories were built and only 60 million units actually reached the hands of consumers across the world. The situation has not improved in early 2012, when the arrival of the new iPad has reset the benchmark for the product to beat."
"It appears that this year competitors have waited to see what Apple would bring out — because there were very few announcements of new media tablets at either the Consumer Electronics Show or Mobile World Congress. Many vendors will wait for Windows 8 to be ready and will try to enter the market with a dual-platform approach, hoping that the Microsoft brand could help them in both the business and consumer markets."
Microsoft tablets are projected to account for 4.1 per cent of media tablet sales this year, and grow to 11.8 per cent of sales by the end of 2016. Windows 8 is Microsoft's official entrance into the media tablet market.
"IT departments will see Windows 8 as the opportunity to deploy tablets on an OS that is familiar to them and with devices offered by many enterprise-class suppliers," Ms Milanesi said. "This means that we see Windows 8 as a strong IT-supplied offering more so than an OS with a strong consumer appeal."
Gartner analysts said enterprise sales of media tablets will account for about 35 per cent of total tablet sales sold in 2015. These sales will not be clearly defined as enterprise purchases. Gartner expects organisations to allow tablets as part of their buy your own device (BYOD) programme. More of these tablets will be owned by consumers who use them at work.
"This poses a big threat to vendors that thought about focusing on the enterprise market who will now have to become appealing to consumers as well," Ms Milanesi said. "This is exactly the same trend that vendors such as RIM had to face in the smartphone market. The difference here is that tablets have been created for consumers first and then relied on an ecosystem of apps and services that make them more manageable in the organisation. When the deployment will come from the IT department we believe that operating systems such as Windows 8 will have an advantage as long as they are not seen as a compromise in usability for the users."
Android tablets are forecast to account for 31.9 per cent of media tablet sales in 2012. Gartner analysts said the main issue with Android tablets has been the lack of applications that are dedicated to tablets and therefore take advantage of their capabilities. Gartner's consumer survey data shows that consumers are running many of their apps on their mobile phones and their tablets.
Gartner's detailed market forecast data is available in the report, "Forecast: Media Tablets by Operating System, Worldwide, 2010-2016, 1Q12 Update." The report is on Gartner's website.
Gartner's Special Report, "iPad and Beyond: The Future of the Tablet Market," provides insight into what consumers, enterprises and vendors can expect as the market continues to unfold. More than 20 reports examine the tablet marketplace, as well as video commentary. The Special Report is available here.

Epidemiology and etiology of Male Infertility.
Infertility is defined as a couple's inability to achieve pregnancy following one year of unprotected intercourse. It has been estimated that 15-20% of couples attempting to achieve pregnancy are unable to do so. A male factor is contributory in more than 50% of couples presenting for fertility evaluation. In many studies male factor infertility is the most common single diagnostic category.
Therefore, a thorough evaluation of the male partner should be pursued as strongly as a female evaluation at the same time. It has been shown that the longer couples remain infertile, the worse their chance for an effective treatment. Initial screening of the male partner should be considered whenever patient presents with chief complaint of infertility regardless of length of infertility.Most studies have determined male factor infertility based on conventional criteria of sperm quality. Nevertheless, these criteria are not absolute. Significant proportion of men with normal semen quality will be infertile because of defective sperm function, while men with abnormal sperm quality will have normal sperm function.
Idiopathic male infertility remains the most common single diagnostic entity, although this classification may be changed with recent advances in the genetics of male infertility.The common causes of male infertility are varicocele, accessory gland infection, immunological factor, congenital abnormalities; obstructive azoospermia; iatrogenic systemic and endocrine causes.
|Etiology of Male Infertility
|Gonadotropin deficiency
Genetic disorders
Excurrent ducts obstruction
Environmental toxins,Recreational Drugs
Medications, Chemotherapy, Radiation
Systemic Diseases
Immunologic abnormalities
Ejaculatory failure

Has anyone used donor embryos and had a successful pregnancy? What clinic did you use? Does anyone have experience with California ivf fertility in Davis?
Overall, we are very pleased with our experiences at California IVF. They have great doctors and first rate embryologists. Everyone who works there is very nice and attentive.
Our only criticism of them is that there is some level of disorganization in the practice. For example, we had to request our bill a couple of times and by the time they gave it to us, there were not enough business days to get the money transferred to the right accounts to pay them by their own payment due deadline. The bill also contained an error which it took them a month to figure out. There were no real consequences to us for these problems but given that infertility is stressful, not having to deal with their disorganization would have been less stressful. Also, while the doctors are very good (much better than the typical MD) at explaining what they are doing right now, they don't always provide you with information about the future steps in the protocol. For me, because I like to know what is going to happen, this also added some stress.
As I said before, overall, we have been very pleased. The donor embryo program might also be a bit different both because the cost is fixed and because the procedure has fewer steps for you (no egg retrieval, no sperm samples, and no worries about egg or embryo numbers). They give you time with the MD to ask questions at every visit and they are responsive if you call the office with questions. I would recommend thinking about your questions ahead of time so that you can make the best use of that face-to-face time with the MD.
Best of luck, optimistic donor egg recipient
What worked for me, finally, when nothing else would, is donor IVF. If you have done IVF, it seems like just the next logical step in treatment (and slightly easier since you don't have to do the first half).
It is much more expensive, since you are now paying for the donor time and expenses (which is, I believe tax deductible as medical expenses-check on that). It's such a great gift that donors are doing, I'm so glad we live in such a time.
My donor cycle, that I did with RSC, was about double that of a regular IVF. Most of that was in donor fees. I went through a private agency in SF for the donor.
A friend who did a donor cycle with Pacific?, did a ''share'' with the embryo bank, where she got half the embryos and the ''Bank'' got the other half, with split costs. The risk is that if it doesn't work, you have no ''second chance''. It did work for her, and she has a healthy baby.
In my cycle, I was able to have some embryos to cryopreserve. That gave me an opportunity for my second child. The ''frozen embryo transfer'' cycle costs were negligible (when compared with the full IVF cycle).
I know two other families that did donor cycles, and all ended up with lovely babies. If you really want to go that route and can afford it, I highly recommend it. Love my babies
We are a lesbian family from the East Bay interested in adopting embryos for one partner to carry and both partners to raise. The fertility clinics have differing views on the legal requirements but all have said the timeline is much faster if you locate your own embryos rather than get on their lists. All of the resources online are religious-based and seem not to support alternative families. Does anyone have any advice how to get this process started for a non-traditional family in search of locating frozen/cryopreserved embryos for a private donation/adoption? anonymous
To begin with I would suggest that you contact Our Family Coalition. They're a non-profit organization for LGBTQ families; they have monthly meetings for prospective families, panel discussions, potlucks... It will give you an opportunity to hear from all types of service providers in the non-traditional adoption/parenting world. You will also meet other families, some who are embarking on the same path, this is extremely helpful.
Secondly you will need to consult a lawyer. Emily Doskow is one such lawyer who spoke at a recent OFC panel in Oakland. I don't know her personally; I just know that she's co-written a NOLO book on the topic and seemed to have a lot of information, and a good reputation. Her number is 510-540-8311 Best of luck! rahel
Lastly...if you are really having a hard time locating embryos you could look into doing a shared donor egg cycle or doing a cycle in another country. It may not be that much more expensive given the legal work needed for embryo donation. anon
Has anyone in this community successfully placed their frozen embryos with an adoptive family? I've done some research online and all the agencies I was able to locate are Christian and seem to screen prospective families based on religious criteria. We're not Christian, and we're put off by the anti-stem-cell research agenda that these agencies promote. What I'm hoping to find is a secular, non-profit group that helps families decide what to do with their excess embryos once they've chosen not to pursue any more pregnancies of their own.
