I'm a new blogger through my blog to see all the information I was looking for. thank to my blog.
My favorite technique for Seo is to combine high page rank link building that is controllable.
By doing that I was able to outrank business insider and Tech crunch for a pretty competitive keyword for my clients. I wrote a blog post about this here: http://alfazz.com/authority-sites-outranked/
Other link building types are either too slow or too unsafe right now
Linkbuilding is definitely my go to strategy! These campaigns are highly effective at getting sites with local search keywords and low competition keywords ranked within 2 months. Don't let your website get lost in the 10th page of search engine results; we'll get your business website the visibility it deserves.
Better yet, I found an option for a linkbuilding campaign from a professional that is being offered on the cheap. Check out this 30 day linkbuilding campaign deal from Repeat Business Solutions- they're fantastic!: http://www.mosaichub.com/marketplace/view/monthly-link-building-campaign-for-your-website
On-site optimization and Tiered Link building. These are the best. With a perfect onsite optimization your site will start ranking by itself. Then add a few high quality articles and you're on. The difference between regular articles and tiered link building is simple - one is spamming with keyword-stuffed content, the other is a way to gain traffic and to make more trusty links.

Steel beams and construction workers have taken over the area just south of the Pinnacle Bank Arena
Thursday marked the "official" groundbreaking of a big project, a hybrid of sorts in the west haymarket area, where construction is in full swing.
"I want to welcome Hyatt Place and Hobson Place to the west haymarket and the city of Lincoln," City Councilman and JPA member Gene Carroll said.
"This is a great economic development driver that generates jobs and creates financial growth in our community."
More than 250 jobs to be exact, working on what will be part hotel, part condos. They range from about $200,000 each to almost $900,000.
Hyatt Place will occupy the main level through the 4th level with more than 100 guestrooms. Hobson Place will take floors 5 through 7, with 29 luxury condominiums, some of which will take up two floors and more than 2,000 square feet.
The team at WR Real Estate even got a big time former Husker on board, with Ndamukong Suh putting his construction management degree to use helping builders.
"I love being able to be a part of Lincoln and growing it and building it and I see this as a second home to me," Suh said, who's already claimed one of the units.
In addition to Hyatt and Hobson Place, the Canopy Lofts are well underway. The six-floor building offers modern apartments for rent.
There's also The Railyard, which will serve as an entertainment hot spot.
All of this coming together to give Lincoln a whole new look and feel.
"Investments like this really improve our community and the city of Lincoln is thankful," Carroll said.
Both Hyatt and Hobson Place are set to be completed in early 2014--the Canopy Lofts and The Railyard in August of this year.
For more information on all of the projects, visit http://www.canopyst.com/.

ASSE Supports New Labor Department Rulemaking on Health Standards
|Des Plaines, IL (October 1, 2008) — The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) support the U.S. Department of Labors recent rulemaking requiring the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), when developing a health standard regulating occupational exposure to a toxic substance or hazardous chemical, to add a new step to the rulemaking process by publishing A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) seeking relevant scientific information, to evaluate the information received, and to post the information electronically.
In a letter to DOL Secretary Elaine Chao this week, ASSE President Warren K. Brown, CSP, ARM, CSHM, said ASSE supports this proposal because it provides an additional opportunity for the regulated community to review and, if necessary, object to an exposure requirement that employers and safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professionals they hire have responsibility for managing.
When OSHA and MSHA inspections, citations and fines impacting an employers competitiveness and an SH&E professionals ability to add value to the employers efforts can be affected, the reasonable extra step in rulemaking offered in this proposal is not an impediment to setting quality health standards, Brown added. In any action pursued by a regulatory agency, the more transparency in the regulatory process that can be achieved, the better the outcome and the more certain the assurance that resulting regulations will be reasonable and help employers and SH&E professionals advance occupational safety and health.
The Requirements for DOL Agencies' Assessment of Occupational Health Risks published in the August 29, 2008 Federal Register, also states an ANPR seeking public input on studies, scientific information, data describing the frequency, intensity and duration of exposure of workers in the affected industries and occupations, key default factors and assumptions, and other relevant information, prior to issuing any regulatory action on the health rulemaking, must be published.
To view the rule please go to http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/ContentViewer?objectId=09000064806e4f71&disposition=attachment&contentType=html.
Founded in 1911, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the largest and oldest professional safety organization and is committed to protecting people, property and the environment. Its more than 32,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members lead, manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor, health care and education.

Historic Playhouse Square in Cleveland is giving TCP's energy efficient cold cathode lamps rave reviews. TCP donated 1,150 three-watt cold cathode lamps to light the marquee of the Ohio Theatre replacing the theatre's current incandescent light bulbs. The estimated energy savings from the cold cathode lamps is approximately $220 per month, adding up to more than $21,000 over the projected eight-year life of the lamps.
"The lamps use only about a quarter of the electricity used by the incandescent lights they replace, but actually look brighter," said Brad Wiandt, national sales manager for TCP. "The cold cathode lamps use only 3 watts, compared with 11 watts for the lamps they replace. The new lamps burn as long as 25,000 hours, versus the 750 to 1,000 hours for the typical incandescents."
Cold cathode lamps easily operate at lower wattages in colder temperatures, which was especially important to the theatre management given Cleveland's typical harsh winters. Their longer performance life reduces the frequency of replacing the bulbs, which offers a dramatic impact on operations in terms of maintenance costs. A special phosphor coating provides excellent color consistency and is resistant to fading and the effects of ultraviolet radiation. Non-leaded glass provides better lumen maintenance over the life of the bulb, and all of the cold cathode lamps are UL listed for indoor and outdoor use.
The Playhouse Square Center, in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, is the second-largest theatre complex in the US, second only to New York City's Lincoln Center. Constructed in a span of nineteen months in the early 1920s, the theatres were subsequently closed down but were reopened through a grass-roots effort.

This was the first time we flew into San Juan to take a ship out. We really wanted to go to the ports they offered on The Jewel of the Seas. We had been to San Juan in the past as ports on other cruises. We arrived at the airport after a long flight from Baltimore it took 4 hours for some reason. When we arrived at the baggage claim they already had our bags on the belt I was shocked!
The cabs to the ship are kind of annoying they have all these vans pulled up and it is a standard fee of $21 for the trip plus $1 for each piece of luggage. There was only 3 of us and they wanted to charge the same amount no matter how many people you had. If there was more of course we could have split the cost. The taxi driver did not speak English so communicating with him was interesting.
We arrived at the port and check in was not terrible. There is a duty free shop inside that you can go buy last minute wine but the bottles are pricey like $35 a bottle. So I skipped that. We got on board at like 12:30pm and our rooms were already finished so that was a nice surprise. We went up to the Windjammer to get some lunch. My husband is gluten free so he had some issues locating items he could eat. Which is odd because I was on the Enchantment of the Seas in February and they had items clearly marked and seperated from other items.
The ship is older and is ready for its upgrade in 2014. I found even though it is a bigger class of ships that it seemed like they tried to fit more into it making the ship feel smaller. They had two specialty resteraunts Portifino and Chops. Also there is a "secret" place to eat on the aft at deck 12 they serve made to order items like fish and chips and onion rings apparently no one really knows about this place. The casino was on the small side but they did have a no smoking section which was nice! Also the theater is huge no problems finding a seat. They did have a Starbucks but no Ben and Jerrys!
The entertainment was great on this ship it seems like they have alot more funds for costumes and sets. The comedians were eh. We had the later dining so sometimes it was hard to see the shows and do the activities at the same time. I would have liked to see them offer more earlier in the day. We are huge trivia fans and they really didn't offer as much as I had seen on past ships.
The pools were weird the main one on Deck 11 was small and deep so if you did get in ya had to tred water. It was 6ft deep and my husband who isn't a strong swimmer did not like that he couldn't touch the bottom. Also it was really crowded on sea days and forgt trying to get a chair if you got to the pool any later than 9am. The Solarium pool was nice but I don't like the strong smell of chlorine and they never opened the top like they can. The childrens pool is on deck 13 and it is really small and has a slide but no one was in that I don't think people knew it existed.
Dinner was wonderful however they bumped it back to 8:45pm so it was a tad late before we would finish. My husband is gluten free so they had bread made special for him everynight and he had to pick out his meals the night before so they can prepare it.
I probably would not do another cruise out of San Juan based on the airport issues alone. When we left to come home we were given the run around as soon as we got there. We flew Southwest so since it is a new hub no one knew where it was. After we found it and waited in line they then made us get out of line at the very front because we had to get our bags scanned by the USDA scanners. I wanted to know why they waited to tell us that when we got to the front of the line.
Finally after getting our bags scanned we were able to go back in the Southwest line and check our bags. Then getting through security took forever there was only one TSA guy checking IDs and boarding passes. He was slow and then so was everyone else who actually scanned your carry on bags. Also nothing really to eat in the airport we were there for 3 hours and I had Subway and my husband had Dominos.

Click here for the factory footage
November 29, 2011 -- Six American clothing companies, including American Eagle and Gap, have confirmed the results of a China Labor Watch (CLW) investigation that uncovered violations of Chinese labor laws and worker rights at a factory that produces accessories for them. A factory of the Jiangsu Ningbo Hesheng Headwear Company (henceforth "the Ningbo Hesheng factory") was investigated in August, 2011 by CLW investigators. The investigators discovered the following conditions at the Ningbo Hesheng factory, which we have outlined in detail in an investigative report:
- Since the factory is understaffed, it employs many students between 16 and 18 years old who are on summer vacation. These students work the same hours and have the same responsibilities as normal workers.
- Workshop conditions are extremely poor, and include high temperatures and toxic gases.
- Workers regularly work more than 12 hours a day.
- Workers work 30 days a month during the busy season.
- The base salary for a factory worker is significantly lower than the legal minimum wage of Cixi County, where the factory is located.
- The resignation process is very difficult for workers and many workers are fined for resigning if they have worked at the factory for less than a year.
We sent this report to the Ningbo Hesheng Headwear factory's principal clients, and while August Accessories, GMA and Betmar Hats did not reply to our request for a response, American Eagle, GAP, J. Crew, Liz Claiborne, Talbots and Target jointly responded that they took these allegations seriously and would conduct their own investigation of the Ningbo factory. On November 11, they sent a letter to us stating that they had confirmed many of our report's findings and were working with factory management to create a safer and fairer work environment for its employees.
CLW director Li Qiang said that he was pleased with this news and eagerly awaited further news of improvements at the Ningbo Hesheng factory. However he added, "We hope that in the future multinational companies will establish a system for improving conditions in their Chinese factories, rather than making improvements on a case-by-case basis."
About China Labor Watch:
Founded in 2000, China Labor Watch is an independent not-for-profit organization. In the past ten years, CLW has collaborated with unions, labor organizations and the media to conduct a series of in-depth assessments of factories in China that produce toys, bikes, shoes, furniture, clothing, and electronics for some of the U.S.'s largest companies. CLW's New York office creates reports from these investigations, educates the international community on supply chain labor issues, and pressures corporations to improve conditions for workers.
Meanwhile, CLW's Shenzhen office works closely with local factories and serves migrant workers in Guangdong Province through several programs. These include the Free Legal Consultation Hotline Program, community training in collective bargaining, and the Train the Trainer Program to enhance the capacity of local labor movements.

Teen pleads guilty to domestic assaultMay 22,2013BENNINGTON A Shaftsbury teenager pleaded guilty Monday to a charge of domestic assault after admitting that she bit the arm of her mothers boyfriend at their home Sunday.
Haley V. Iserman, 17, of Shaftsbury, was arraigned Monday in Bennington criminal court on the misdemeanor charge of domestic assault. Iserman entered a conditional guilty plea, under an agreement that the case would be transferred to family court where she could be charged as a youthful offender.
In an affidavit, police said they were called to Isermans East Road home Sunday around 8:15 p.m. Police said Isermans mother, Nancy Iserman, said an argument started over Haleys medication.
Nancy Iserman said she believed her daughter was selling the medication at school instead of taking it, according to the affidavit.
Police said Nancy told them Haley Iserman pushed and slapped her. Jason Lofaro, Nancy Isermans boyfriend, told police that Haley bit him when he tried to restrain her from attacking Nancy.
According to police, Haley Iserman was taken to the Vermont State Police barracks in Shaftsbury to be interviewed. Nancy Iserman was in the room to act as Haleys guardian but police said Haley became loud and aggressive toward Nancy and made physically threatening moves toward Nancy which forced them to remove Haley from the room.MORE IN This Just InRutland Plywood held its final meeting with employees who said they're moving on from the company...

DALLAS – U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan visited a Dallas high school this morning and said the district and the Obama administration share the same education goals regarding turning out more college graduates.
Duncan's visit comes at an exciting time for the district since the Department of Education notified Dallas ISD yesterday that it is a finalist for millions in federal Race to the Top funds.
"We have to invest in education," Duncan said Tuesday. "I always say this is the best investment we can make. I fundamentally believe that education is an investment; not an expense."
Duncan was joined in the visit to L.G. Pinkston High School in West Dallas by Superintendent Mike Miles, Dallas Board of Trustees President Lew Blackburn and Mayor Mike Rawlings.
Race to the Top, the Obama administration's signature education policy, has been controversial in Texas. The fund is, in effect, a competition, offering states grant money for schools that bolster student achievement using plans that improve teacher and administrator accountability.
"There's nothing more important we can do than to respect teachers," Duncan added. "Listen to them. Compensation is important, but by itself is simply not enough."
It also places an importance on expanding science, math and technology courses.
Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, blocked the state from seeking the federal money, claiming too many requirements were attached and that it was "irresponsible to place out children's future in the hands of unelected bureaucrats."
Duncan at a news conference said he supported revising the rules to let individual districts seek the money because of Perry's resistance.
"It was a piece of it," he said. "But, again, there's this great reform even in states that received Race to the Top money. There's still great reform going on at the district level and I think, again, we want to continue to invest at the state level, at the district level, at the community level."
Miles and Rawlings both back Dallas ISD getting up to $30 million in federal funds that would be spent on the Pinkston and Lincoln High School attendance zones to increase student graduation rates and college attendance.
"We think that's the best thing and the best plan for kids, moving forward. This is what the district needs, it's ambitious, it's innovative," Miles said.

Keegan Bradley has become the face of the anchored putting ban brouhaha and the 2011 PGA champ is totally cool with that.
"I'm fine with it if they want to make me the poster child of the belly putter," Bradley, the first player to win a major with a long putter, said on Golf Channel's "Morning Drive" Monday, a day after finishing T24 at the WM Phoenix Open. "I can handle that."
Bradley, who intimated last year that he might fight a ban on the stroke most golfers use with their long putters, has steadily toned down his rhetoric. He also believes, however, that the regulators are a long way from enacting the prohibition they proposed back in November.
"I've always felt that as a young player on tour, I like to keep my head down a little bit....The veterans, they know a lot more than I do," Bradley said. "It's still very much up in the air. They've still got to vote on this, they've still got to hear comments from people, and there are very strong opinions on both sides."
Bradley said he took "a little pride" in the perception that his major win with an Odyssey White Hot XG Sabertooth in his hands changed the game, but reminded viewers that he was hardly the only golfer -- professional or amateur -- employing a long putter.
"I think it would be a terrible mistake to take that club away from someone who's enjoying the game," said Bradley, who preceded fellow belly putter acolytes Webb Simpson and Ernie Els to the major championship winner's circle.
Bradley also noted that there was a chance that the PGA Tour would overrule the governing bodies' mandate and continue to let him and his peers anchor their putters. Whatever happens, Bradley promised an "interesting" next few weeks and months.
"It's out of my hands. I can't do much about it," he said. "I would love to continue to use the putter that I've put thousands of hours in on the putting green and won tournaments with, but as players we'll adapt. But I still don't think it's right to ban something that's been around for 100 years. I hope [the powers-that-be] make the right decision, which I think they will."

As we near the sale of the iPhone 5, a YouTube video reminds us how clunky, expensive, and goofy-looking mobile phones once were.
Before Motorola introduced its new Razr phones last week, cell phone pioneer Martin Cooper and an original Motorola Dynatac made a brief appearance.
The cover of this week's New Yorker sees a president with a very old, large phone. And then there's the floppy disk.
In the past four decades, the world has gone from monster handsets to pocket-sized portable computers.
British phone manufacturer Binatone has unveiled The Brick, a mobile phone with a distinctly 1980s aesthetic -- and more than three months of standby time.
Many people are upset about HP ditching WebOS, but CNET's Kent German is more distressed that a company like Motorola is bidding farewell to the cell phone.
After a successful CES, Moto once again shows how innovative it can be. And given the company's pioneering role in building the cell phone, that spirit is welcome.
Google wants to be an extension of your mind. Glass, though accompanied by skepticism and fear, is a gateway for Google to achieve that goal.

"No I'm not ready for the cold," says Christian Miller who moved back home to Lakewood from Florida a couple of months ago and isn't looking forward to the big chill heading our way.
Come next week 30 degrees will feel warm compared to the teens and single digits Jeff Tanchak is predicting. We haven't seen that kind of drop in a while.
"Right now I'm keeping it on 75 until I get the first bill, and once I get the first bill and it bankrupts me and then I'll have to turn that down a notch. I would like to keep it around sixty five, but, I just can't live in that weather," explains Miller.
Lakewood Hardware expects a rush of customers in the next few days. Owner Glenn Palmer says they will be picking up everything from salt to firewood along with plenty of space heaters.
In fact Palmer tells us he's discounted the prices on overstocked heaters to try to clear the shelves. "The phone rings off the hook. Do we have them? And then they wait to see if the cold is going to stick and then they come in they trickle in and buy them," he says.
Fire crews are on alert. They tell us when the temperatures drop, they get a lot more calls with more people overloading their circuits at home, and that can be a fatal mistake.
As for Miller, se says he'll overdress to try to adjust to the cold. "I do have my thermals on underneath, and I have four layers underneath my coat," says Miller.

CALEXICO - After being busted by Customs and Border Protection officers at the port of entry, a woman admits she was being paid to smuggle meth into the United States from Mexico.
CBP Officers at the Calexico East Port of Entry found packages of methamphetamine worth $231,000 in Neyba de Let Vazquez-Flores' car.
They say the drugs were stashed in her Ford Expedition's transfer case in the transmission.
Vazquez-Flores was taken into custody of Homeland Security Investigation agents and transported to Imperial County Jail.
She faces a felony charge of importation of a controlled substance.
Vazquez-Flores said she was going to be paid $2,000 to smuggle it into the United States, according to the court complaint.

Car Subwoofers
Dual 12-inch driver high performance sub enclosure
12" woofers
30.48cm woofers
Incredible Sound, Affordable Price
We'd like to say we won't bore with the details. But sometimes making a sub better is all about the details. Such is the case with our dual 12-inch sub enclosures. We took what we knew worked from our db212, did a little refining to make this next generation more impressive, then added even more blow-you-away performance. The result is just plain nasty. Which is good.
db1222 Features:
Huge power handling 720 Watts continuous and 1500 Watts peak!
Front loaded slot port provides thunderous bass and allows greater air displacement then round port designs.
Extensively braced trapezoidal MDF enclosure eliminates performance-robbing box flex. dB1222 is 32-inches W x 14-inches H x 15-inches D at the top and 18-inches D at the bottom and weighs 88 lbs.
Nickel plated heavy duty input terminals accommodate speaker wire up to 8 AWG or twisted pairs of 12 AWG.
Viscoelastic isolation damping between the baffle and cabinet prevent any unwanted vibrations or buzzes when the subwoofer is driven hard.
Rugged automotive grade black carpet provides an attractive and durable enclosure finish.
Heavy duty automotive grade ABS grilles provide awesome looks but also protection for the woofers.
Paintable grilles and baffle looks great as is, or may be matched to your vehicle's color.
2 ohm impedance uses subwoofer amplifier power most effectively.
Klippel optimized components using a state-of-the-art Klippel distortion analyzer, Polk engineers were able to optimize the woofer's motor structure, voice coil alignment and suspension for the best possible performance, even at extreme listening levels.
Dynamic Balance® composite woofer cones feature tremendous stiffness-to-mass ratio. Lower mass means faster transients and finer detail.
High-roll santoprene rubber surrounds provides reliability in the temperature extremes of a vehicle.
Fire retardant NOMEX® inner suspension increases reliability while providing extended cone travel.
All Polk products are made using the best materials and the most advanced manufacturing techniques. They pass the industry's most exhaustive quality tests, including drop testing, extreme signal response and UV & salt exposure testing. Polk loudspeakers are built to perform for a lifetime.

2007 Robert G. Wesson Lecture: Caesarism in Democratic Politics - Reflections on Max Weber
Date and Time
March 13, 2007
Open to the public
No RSVP required
Gerhard Casper - President Emeritus of Stanford University; Peter and Helen Bing Professor in Undergraduate Education at Stanford; Professor of Law, Professor of Political Science, by courtesy; FSI Senior Fellow; Forum on Contemporary Europe Research Affiliate
The concept of "caesarism" was of considerable importance to Max Weber and, in reading Weber, one cannot help but be struck by the relevance, to our own historical situation. His arguments about what nowadays, we would call "governance" are anything but theoretical as we encounter caesarist tendencies in contemporary politics.
About the Speaker
Born in 1937, Gerhard Casper grew up in Hamburg, the port city on the Elbe River. Mr. Casper studied law at the universities of Freiburg and Hamburg, where, in 1961, he earned his first law degree. He attended Yale Law School, obtaining his Master of Laws degree in 1962. He then returned to Freiburg, where he received his doctorate in 1964. He has been awarded honorary doctorates, most recently in law from Yale and in philosophy from Uppsala.
In the fall of 1964, Mr. Casper emigrated to the United States, spending two years as Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California at Berkeley. In 1966, he joined the faculty of the University of Chicago Law School, and between 1979 and 1987 served as Dean of the Law School. In 1989, Mr. Casper was appointed Provost of the University of Chicago. He served as President of Stanford University from 1992-2000.
Mr. Casper has written and taught primarily in the fields of constitutional law, constitutional history, comparative law, and jurisprudence. From 1977 to 1991, he was an editor of The Supreme Court Review.
His books include a monograph on legal realism (Berlin, 1967), an empirical study of the Supreme Court's workload (Chicago, 1976, with Richard A. Posner), as well as Separating Power (Cambridge, MA, 1997) concerning the separation of powers practices at the end of the 18th century in the United States. About the Stanford presidency, he wrote Cares of the University (Stanford, CA, 1997). He is also the author of numerous scholarly articles and occasional pieces.
He has been elected to membership in the American Law Institute (1977), the International Academy of Comparative Law, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1980), the Orden Pour le mérite für Wissenschaften und Künste (Order Pour le mérite for the Sciences and Arts) (1993), and the American Philosophical Society (1996).
At present, Mr. Casper serves as a successor trustee of Yale University, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Central European University in Budapest, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the American Academy in Berlin. He is also a member of various additional boards, including the Council of the American Law Institute.

text: What to Expect When You're Expecting Review 7 Truisms From What to Expect When You're Expecting by Rebecca Gruber 5/17/12 4 Reactions 5 Shares Print 0 0 5 0 0 When What to Expect When You're Expecting hits theaters this weekend, moms and those on their way to motherhood will find themselves nodding in agreement with Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Anna Kendrick, and Brooklyn Decker, who play five women entering the sisterhood of parenthood in five very different ways. But while the women may be the stars of the flick, much as we are of our pregnancies, it's the men — Chris Rock, Thomas Lennon, Rodrigo Santoro, Dennis Quaid, Ben Falcone, and Rob Huebel — who walk away with the best scenes. While the men spend plenty of time poking fun at their wives' pregnancy ailments and helicopter parenting, Rock's thoughtful (and probably ad-libbed) monologue about the joys of fatherhood is the highlight of the flick. Based on the advice found in the widely popular self-help book of the same name, the new film takes us through five different paths to parenthood, watching the women deal with obstacles to fertility, unexpected pregnancy, some of the not-so-pleasant side effects, and the emotions that come with changing family dynamics. While some of the characters may reflect viewers' own journeys, others are made for the movies. Check seven truisms we found in What to Expect When You're Expecting and be forewarned: spoilers ahead! Source: Lions Gate Pregnancy Brings Out Competitiveness What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Film: One of the underlying plot lines of the film involves unresolved daddy issues between Wendy's (Elizabeth Banks) reserved husband, Gary (Ben Falcone), and his loud and flamboyant NASCAR star dad (Dennis Quaid), whose second wife (Brooklyn Decker) also happens to be pregnant — with, you guessed it, twins. In a case of "everything you can do, I can do better," the two fathers-to-be appear to be one-upping each other throughout the film, culminating in a silly golf cart race designed to prove that dad doesn't always win. Real Life: Pregnancy can bring out the best in people, but from experience, it also brings out the worst. If you gained 30 pounds, someone will be quick to tell you they only gained 28. If you were in labor for 12 hours, another mom will love to tell you that she was there for 36. The competitiveness that moms-to-be start to witness during pregnancy is only the beginning of what they'll experience as their children begin to reach milestones throughout life. Source: Lions Gate 1 / 7 Dads Have a Good Perspective on Parenting What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Film: Perhaps the funniest parts in the movie involve the ongoing commentary by a group of dads that call themselves the "dudes group." Led by Chris Rock, Thomas Lennon, and Rob Huebel, the fathers meet in the park — overloaded with the latest strollers, baby carriers, toys, and accessories — to discuss their kids' latest antics, poke fun at their wives' parenting decisions, and teach Alex (Rodrigo Santoro), a soon-to-be dad of an adopted child, about the ins and outs of fatherhood. Real Life: Though I'm not personally aware of any formal "dudes groups" in my area, the men's perspective on pregnancy and parenthood is often dead-on. Yes, your child may accidentally fall off the changing table (don't shake your head until you've been there!) or lick toys that have been playing in dirt, but in most cases, it's not the end of the world. Source: Lions Gate 2 / 7 Your Prepregnancy Beliefs May Not Jibe With Your Current State What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Film: Elizabeth Banks's Wendy is the most realistic of the expectant women in the film. The breastfeeding supply store owner has adamant views on what her pregnancy will look like and how she will raise her tot — until she actually becomes pregnant herself. Real Life: Most women have a picture of what their pregnant life will look like, but reality doesn't always work that way. Simply doing the best that you can do is all that any woman can expect from herself. Source: Lions Gate 3 / 7 Your Best Friend Will Have a Completely Opposite Pregnancy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Film: While Wendy suffers through incredible bloating, nausea, constipation, leaking, exhaustion, and gas throughout her pregnancy, her stepmother-in-law Skyler (Brooklyn Decker) has a picture-perfect pregnancy, easily carrying her twins to Pilates classes while wearing six-inch heels and tiny, tiny bikinis. Real Life: For every friend that had a complicated pregnancy, I've seen one who breezed through it. No two pregnancies are the same — even for the same mom — and there's no one way pregnancy should look, but for some reason, friends seem to have polar opposite experiences. Source: Lions Gate 4 / 7 Birth Plans Really Don't Matter What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Film: Ever the prepared mom-to-be, Wendy appears at the hospital with a typed-out birth plan detailing her desire for a natural birth. Unfortunately, her baby has different plans, bringing on contractions she can't handle and ultimately a birth that isn't exactly what she had planned. Real Life: After reading What to Expect When You're Expecting, I was convinced I had to have a typed and printed birth plan packed on top of my suitcase. My doctor laughed when I told him I was writing one. He said we'd take everything as it came. And he was right. More often than not, my friends who had planned their lil one's entries found themselves simply going with the flow on the days of their deliveries. Source: Lions Gate 6 / 7 Sometimes Taking a Break From Trying Is What Works What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Film: After two years of trying to conceive — including the use of calendars, apps, and monitors — Wendy decides to take a break and have sex when she wants to, not when her monitor tells her to do so. That's when she actually becomes pregnant. Real Life: Infertility issues can be caused by a multitude of factors, but one of the leading issues is stress. By removing the stress of trying to conceive from your life, you may be lifting the barrier to conceiving. Source: Lions Gate 6 / 7 Labor and Delivery Aren't Always the Scariest Part of Having a Baby What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Film: Following a long labor and delivery, one of the characters experiences severe blood loss, and her husband and newborn are ushered out of the room as doctors work to save her. Real Life: Labor and delivery lend themselves to funny scenes in the movies, but a woman dies every 90 seconds from pregnancy complications. Since becoming a mom, I've watched friends face life-threatening conditions immediately after giving birth, including postpartum preeclampsia and post-C-section hemorrhaging. The conditions aren't pretty and don't make for funny film scenes, but they're real, and moms-to-be need to know they can occur.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held UFC 168: "Weidman vs. Silva 2" at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and despite the increased pay-per-view (PPV) fee, it was worth every penny.
The night ended terribly for one of the greatest fighters who ever lived, if not the greatest in UFC history.
Chris Weidman was able to defeat Anderson Silva once again for the second time in one year. And despite the naysayers' constant lack of respect thrown Weidman's way, he was able to defeat "The Spider" after Silva snapped his leg in the second round.
Not the prettiest of victories, but Weidman still won.
Weidman did prove that he was able to stand with Silva after taking him down in the first round and dropping him immediately after with a right hand that had the former champion on the brink of survival. He ate shots from Weidman in the guard, and defended well by splitting Weidman open, but could not escape.
The second round is where the main event was cut short, with Silva throwing a leg kick that Weidman checked and broke his leg in the process. Replays showed the leg completely bending in half, and as soon as it happened, Silva fell back immediately, screaming in agony.
Until that moment, Weidman was dominating Silva, demonstrating that he was more than ready to stand with one of the most versatile and deadliest striker in the sport. Weidman was able to get the best of Silva in the rematch until the leg break, and that marks two victories for Weidman over the most accomplished fighter in UFC history.
Weidman will have the work cut out for him in a packed middleweight division, with Vitor Belfort up next to challenge his perfect (11-0) record and steal the gold.
The good news for Silva is that he went into surgery immediately following the event and is expected to make a quick recovery.
The co-main event featured the highly anticipated women's Bantamweight championship rematch between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate, and the fight was a lot more competitive than most thought it would be.
Rousey was able to submit Tate in the third round with her patented armbar, boasting eight victories and winning them all with the same maneuver.
Rousey and Tate started to throw bombs early in the first round, and surprisingly, Rousey's striking looked the best we have ever seen it. Her judo throws were also incredible, as Tate looked to initiate grappling exchanges and had no luck (except for one occasion).
To Tate's credit, she escaped an armbar and got back to her feet, trying to inflict damage, but in the third round, the result was a familiar one for Rousey.
After securing the tap, Tate stood up to congratulate her opponent and extended her hand, to which Rousey was having none of it and walked away.
In her post-fight interview, she spoke about Tate being a great fighter and how she had the utmost respect for her, but she could not shake the hand of someone that disrespected her family.
Rousey banked $150,000, splitting "Fight of the Night" with Tate and secured "Submission of the Night," too.
In a Heavyweight affair with title implications, Travis Browne viciously knocked out Josh Barnett with elbows -- almost the exact same way he knocked out Gabriel Gonzaga -- to earn the post-fight knockout bonus for his performance.
Barnett was working for the takedown and Browne was not giving it to him. When Barnett shot again, he ate a vicious knee that made him drop to his own knees, and then took a number of sharp elbows to the temple. Barnett was out and cut open, losing his chance to contend for the division title.
Browne -- who has only lost once in his 18-fight career -- is now slated to meet Fabricio Werdum.
In earlier PPV action, Jim Miller submitted a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt in Fabricio Camoes, and did it off of his back with a beautiful arm bar of his own.
Miller's striking looked great, and Camoes was eager to trade with him. Once the fight went to the ground, Camoes had reversed Miller and off of his back, the gritty lightweight was able to transition into an armbar, locking up the limb and patiently waiting for the tap.
The PPV main card kicked off with Dustin Poirier and Diego Brandao, who had a heated weigh in the day before. Apparently, Poirier mentioned at the post-fight press conference that Brandao said he would cut his neck, and that is why "The Diamond" was so pissed off.
Brandao did come in overweight for this fight, but in the opening moments of the round he was looking good. He dropped Poirier and definitely showcased his power. However the Brazilian started to tire, and that is when Poirier made sure of the finish.
In the dying seconds of the first round, Poirier dropped Brandao and kept on him, throwing bombs to a grounded Brandao who suffered his fifth TKO loss in his career.
The "Prelims" main event was a battle of former The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) contestants, as Uriah Hall hurt Leben so badly at the end of the firs round that "The Crippler" could not continue.
Right off the bat, Hall clocked Leben with a flying knee the moment round one commenced; however, replays showed that Hall hit Leben in the chest more so than the head.
For the majority of the round, Hall backed away and counterstruck beautifully, as "The Crippler" threw wild bombs as only he knows how. In the dying seconds of the first round, Hall dropped Leben and continued to wail on him, with the referee keeping a close eye until the horn sounded. A wobbly Leben stood up, asked his corner if he had gotten knocked out, and then declared himself as "done" on the stool.
It was surprising to see someone with such ferocity as Leben quit in the corner and call it a wise decision.
Michael Johnson looks nothing like the fighter who lost in the finals at TUF 12, improving drastically and proving to be one of the most dangerous lightweights on the roster.
Gleison Tibau has always been a powerful force in the division, however the Brazilian was countered by a bomb thrown by Johnson in the second round, and went out like a light after the American made sure the fight was going to be finished.
Johnson's head movement, footwork, and most of all his power, looks the best we have ever seen it inside the Octagon. He is not in dire need of a step up in competition, but after defeating Joe Lauzon and now Tibau, it is time for a Top 10-ranked opponent.
Two stocky featherweights in Dennis Siver and Manny Gamburyan competed on the "Prelims," and it was Siver who returned to winning ways, edging "The Anvil" via unanimous decision.
Siver was not incredibly flashy with his kicks, as we have seen before, yet he did utilize them and kept his distance from the slugger, who was looking to throw heavy leather. He dropped Gamburyan in the second round, and dominated him on the ground in the third round.
John Howard was able to continue his uprising while back in the UFC, defeating Siyar Bahadurzada by unanimous decision. Howard and Bahadurzada both possessed power that each opponent should have been worried about, which turned out to be in this case more of a grappling contest for Howard.
With a huge adrenaline dump in the third round, Bahadurzada was clinging on while Howard tried to finish the fight by submission -- although the Bostonian decided to play it safe and simply dominate en route to a victory.
Nobody can underestimate the heart of Bobby Voelker, and his ability to keep moving forward when most would find a reason to not continue to engage. William Macario looked incredibly improved since his time on TUF: "Brazil 2," and he literally picked apart Voelker for three rounds.
The former Strikeforce veteran's face was a complete mess, with blood spewing all over his own chest and Macario's hair as well. "Patolino" had bright moments with Voelker against the cage, elbowing him and patiently waiting for openings before blasting Voelker with some scary strikes. Somehow, Voelker hung in there, taking shots to the head and the body.
And did not once think about quitting when the doctor stepped in to check on him. Despite Voelker's winless (0-3) stint in the UFC, Dana White declared that he is not going anywhere, and that they do not cut guys like that.
Kicking off the action on Facebook was a bout that featured Estevan Payan and Robbie Peralta, where the latter knocked out Payan seconds into the third round.
The fight was more or less even going into the third, with Peralta's corner informing him that he needed the knockout to win the fight. He could have won one round out of two, however Payan was the better grappler, utilizing his skills on the ground.
The moment they were summoned to fight in the third round, Peralta blasted Payan and followed up with punches until Payan fell backwards, unable to defend himself from the blows.

Noem Releases Statement on Anniversary of September 11
Representative Kristi Noem is the first of the South Dakota delegation to issue a statement on the twelfth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Noem also reflects on the American Embassy attack in Benghazi, Libya just one year ago.
"Today we honor and remember those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of September 11th. We will never forget the nearly 3,000 Americans who died in New York City, at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, nor will we forget the selfless effort of the brave first responders and everyday heroes who ran into the flames and crumbling buildings.
"This day also marks the one-year anniversary of the attack on the American Embassy in Benghazi, Libya. I hope Americans use today to reflect upon the service offered to our country and the sacrifices made by those who lost their lives in that act of terror, including the life of Ambassador Chris Stevens. In their memory, today I renew our call for answers. I support the formation of a Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi attack. Participants and suspects have been identified but yet there have been no consequences. The families of these victims deserve answers, and so do the American people. The House will continue to hold oversight and investigation hearings while putting pressure on the Administration to take action.
"I ask all South Dakotans to join me in taking a moment today to reflect on those who lost their lives and pray for continued healing for their loved ones."

Whisper of the Stars: Traditional Life in Arctic Siberia
- 8 March — 7 September 2014 *on now
Taken by British photographer Bryan Alexander, this exhibition of 40 photographs reveals aspects of the lives of the Chukchi, Dolgan, Even, Khanty, Komi, Nenets, and Nganasan people, showing how they live today in their native communities, their traditional camps, transportation and dress as well as activities such as herding, hunting and fishing.
This series of striking images includes a herd of 1,000 reindeer being driven across the tundra in Khanty Mansiysk; the Northern Lights over a Nenets reindeer herders camp and Khanty women in traditional dress in Pitlyar.
The vast size of Siberia, combined with the isolation of many of its northern communities, has ensured that these unique Arctic cultures have survived to this day. Only a minority of Arctic peoples still maintain the old ways, but traditional activities remain important both culturally and economically.
