Farmers Offer "Free Groceries For a Year"
Nebraska Farmers Offer "Free Groceries for a Year!" - Sweepstakes launches Jan. 7 at www.FarmersFeedUS.org
Whoever said there's no such thing as a free lunch has never met a Nebraska farmer. In fact, they are offering the chance for residents of the state to win a free breakfast, lunch and dinner by way of free groceries for an entire year.
Beginning today, Nebraskans can register for a chance at one of two grand prizes of $5,000 "Free Groceries for a Year!"* courtesy of a group of Nebraska farmers, a veterinarian and a grocer, at www.FarmersFeedUS.org. Upon visiting the site, consumers register by "meeting" one of their fellow Nebraskans through a short video that shows how each is involved in producing safe, nutritious and affordable food. Consumers can register with each of the seven featured individuals daily through April 8, the end of the 90-day program.
The Farmers Feed US website features corn, dairy, hog, soybean and turkey farmers, as well as a veterinarian and a grocer, each sharing information about the foods they produce.
Featured Nebraskans include:
Danny Kluthe, hog farmer, Dodge
Chad Bartek, soybean farmer, Ithaca
Angela Baysinger, veterinarian, Bruning
Kyle Cantrell, corn farmer, Anselmo
Dean Engelman, dairy farmer, Jansen
Mike Shinn, turkey farmer, Gibbon
Pat Raybould, grocer, Lincoln
"As Nebraskans, we're thrilled to offer free groceries for a year to the consumers of our state," said Chad Bartek, a soybean farmer from Ithaca, Nebraska, who is a featured farmer on FarmersFeedUS.org. "This is an opportunity for us to share what we produce with consumers of the state and to let them know we share their values - taking care of our families, taking care of our animals and land and giving back to our communities."
Over the course of the sweepstakes, consumers throughout the state will also see and hear from these farmers as they are featured in television advertising and on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/nefarmersfeedus) and Twitter (www.Twitter.com/nefarmersfeedus).
Supporting Nebraska agriculture groups include the Alliance for the Future of Agriculture in Nebraska (A-FAN), Nebraska Soybean Board, Nebraska Pork Producers, Nebraska Corn Board, Midwest Dairy Association, and B&R Grocery.

"It's a permanent museum show with many similarities to a theme park attraction, but we didn't have the built-in advantages of being in a theme park. The entire theatre had to be designed around the show."
Ted Ferreira, City Design Group
The Texas Spirit Theatre at Bob Bullock's Texas State History Museum in Austin shows how themed entertainment design techniques and technologies can be applied to serve an educational mission, maintain precise curatorial accuracy, and still be entertaining. The 200-seat theatre is the highlight attraction of the new museum, an $80-million project that opened its doors April 21. Its main show is the 16-minute, multimedia Star of Destiny.
In this case, a special-effects venue was integrated with traditional theatre design. Designer and producer BRC Imagination Arts was responsible for both the show and the custom theatre, which is equipped to double as a dramatic theatre, 35mm cinema, and lecture hall.
"We combined a traditional fly system, theatrical sets, and classic scrim technology with modern A/V, lighting, and effects to create a show with a lot of dimensionality," says BRC project manager Suzy Vanderbeek. Unfolding in triptych form in the three-stage, proscenium theatre, Star of Destiny provides an encapsulated history of Texas, hosted by Sam Houston and complete with lightning, storms, stars, grasshoppers, a rocket launch, the Alamo, the Civil War, the Battle of San Jacinto, the Galveston hurricane, gushing oil wells, and rattlesnakes.
The Texas Spirit Theatre is also designed to function as a storytelling theatre. Its library of cues and special effects can be easily programmed for a live actor to use. BRC has scripted several additional shows on Texas history topics, and the first will be added early next year. "Part of the fun was taking ancient theatre technology and adding state-of-the-art technical components," says BRC show systems manager Mike Chisman. BRC chairman Bob Rogers calls it "the magic theatre." His company is providing a similar theatre for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, IL.
The client's core project team included Rick Crawford, state preservation board executive director; Bonnie Campbell, project manager and museum executive officer, Lynn Denton, museum director; David Denney, director of public programming; and Robert Pirtle, staff project architect. "This was a really smart group. They knew they were doing something a bit different," says Vanderbeek. "They worked closely with us on content and historical accuracy, making sure that fun didn't sacrifice history."
The museum architect was E. Vernor Johnson. Additional vendors on the project include Electrosonic Systems, Inc., Scenario Design Inc./Architectural Details LP, Superior Backings, Life Formations, Show FX, Mee Fog Industries, Zinger Consultants, City Design Group, JR Clancy, and Laser Pacific.
BRC brought in people with solid media and theatre backgrounds to work on this project, including Yael Pardess as scenic designer and Charles Otte as creative director.
Rigging contractor JR Clancy supplied an assisted counterweight rigging system for the proscenium-style triptych theatre. "The real difference between this and a community theatre is that the main show is permanent," says Clancy's Pete Szitavsky. The equipment is industrial-duty, suitable to run 30 shows a day, seven days a week. The rig has an efficient motor and a smaller winch, good for situations where you know the loads aren't going to change. And smaller components are important when a space is as crammed with gear as this one." The gear includes 19 linesets, 10 of them motorized. Two were left free for other uses. There are nine deadhaul winches, three projection scrims, three Austrian curtains, and three fire curtains, all provided by JR Clancy.
A PLC controller also supplied by JR Clancy runs the scenery fly and receives serial commands from Electrosonic's proprietary ESCAN show control system, which is Windows NTSC-based and controls all devices, including video servers and the lighting system. "The challenge in automated applications is interlocking and keeping it safe," remarks Szitavsky. "You need to know somebody's watching the load move." Light beam sensors, door sensors, and E-stops form part of the safety system.
"It took almost two weeks just to program the fly itself. The timing of the show was so quick, JR Clancy reprogrammed some of its software to let multiple flies go at once," says Bryan Hinckley, who as Electrosonic's project manager and site engineer did all the show programming. "Some things happen only 10 frames apart. It's an incredibly complex show," he adds.
"Everything was a slave to SMPTE timecode," says lighting designer Ted Ferreira of City Design Group. "There are almost 200 cues in the 16-minute show. You wouldn't even approach that figure in a regular theatrical production."
The biggest challenge for Hinckley was reconciling irregular screen sizes and disparate projection systems — a combination of high-definition digital projectors including a Digital Projection 10sx DLP projector with a xenon lamp and four Sanyo PLC-XF10NZ LCD projectors with metal halide lamps. Initial plans called for NTSC on the side stages and 35mm film in the center, but the designers realized that significant strides would be made in digital projection in the several years that would ensue before installation, and wanted to benefit from those improvements and reduce operational costs. They finally settled on high definition on all three screens. The center screen is 35' wide and 16½' high. "All the material is encoded at 1080i so our source has 1,080 lines and 1,920 pixels per frame but the projector's top resolution is 1,280 × 1,024," says Hinckley. "We needed to maximize the number of lines projected on the screen both for image quality and light output. We didn't want to create artifacts by downscaling the HD signal across the DMD chip, so instead of using the complete 1,920 × 1,080, LaserPacific created a custom mask using 1,280 pixels × 610 lines in post-production. This maximizes the projector's pixel structure and light output while taking into account the screen's wide aspect ratio. Light output was also a concern, since about 40% of light passes through the scrims and is not reflected back at the audience."
The Christie 35mm projector was supplied by Electrosonic and the theatre also has a Kodak Ektragraphic III ATM slide projector.
City Design Group was contracted by BRC to design and install lighting, lighting control, and electrical systems and to provide lighting equipment. The latter task was subcontracted to Fourth Phase, except for the dimming systems, which were provided by the general contractor. Ferreira worked with his project manager and associate designer, Teresa Enroth. "A lot happens in that show," says Ferreira. "Very tight spaces were the biggest single challenge. We had a lot of different positions to work off of; we took whatever spot was free. With the wraparound stage, the audience is virtually in the show. It's very, very integrated: there are things in the floor, in the walls, in the seats, in the ceiling. And the sightlines vary a lot, depending on where a person sits. BRC didn't want the audience to be able to see fixtures because it would give away the magic. And the show had to be good from every seat. Plus, you have a lot of drops and transitions." He was pleased with what they accomplished amid all these physical and technical restrictions, and gives Pardess a lot of credit. "You can't see any lighting fixture from anywhere in the theatre," he says. "Yael was extremely perceptive about masking the lighting as well as the speakers and other elements."
Ferreira describes the lighting itself as "fairly conventional." It includes ETC Sensor dimming racks and ETC Source Four ellipsoidals and PARs, an Edwin Jones Company EN DMX distro system, and blacklights from Wildfire for U/V lighting on drops (painted by Superior Backings). Cyc and groundrow fixtures were provided by L&E Lighting and Altman supplied MR-16 floods and framing projectors. EFX Plus 2 projectors from City Theatrical were used to create effects, including driving rain and clouds of grasshoppers. "Before the projected image disappears, you see moving grasshoppers on the scrims. It's very subtle," Ferreira adds. Apollo provided custom dichroic gobos for other effects, such as an image of dawn rising behind the state capital with star-shaped clouds that dissolves into the Texas state flag. A Horizon control system from Rosco/ET handles the show lighting playback. Gel colors are from Special F/X Lighting in Utah. "Since this is a long-running museum show, we put in long-life lamps that will probably last three years or more, using semi-permanent color in very saturated colors. On the very hot fixtures, we used colored glass or dichroics."
An important part of the magic is well hidden in the plush seats. Notes Chisman, "A big part of R&D was concealing the effects devices in the animated seats. Often, in a special-effects venue, you know something's up because there are these molded seats with vents." The comfortable seats make it that much more of a surprise when an air bladder effect, simulating a rattlesnake in each seat, makes everyone jump in unison.
The theatre also had to be protected from the physical consequences of its own effects. A rain effect, using 12 custom-designed misters from Show FX, releases six cups of moisture into the air per show. "We Scotchgarded the seats and looked at how it affected HVAC," says Chisman. "We found that the humidity levels in the room aren't affected by the system. Fifty-percent humidity is normal, and the air conditioning has a drying effect anyway."
"Wherever possible, we avoided using smoke or anything with chemicals or oil that would damage the scrim," says Stephen Doolittle of Scenario Design, which fabricated the cannon and other scenic elements for Texas Spirit. "We did have to use a minimal amount of real smoke in order to get the cannon to blow a smoke ring through the scrim." The cannon itself was part of the dramatization of the Battle of San Jacinto. According to Charlie Anderson, Scenario's project manager, the weapon, fabricated of fiberglass and wood, is a meticulous reproduction of the real thing, slightly scaled down. References included a historic painting of the event, and input from numerous cannon restoration enthusiasts. The cannon smoke effect was plumbed into the barrel and down into the floor. Sixteen fog boxes from Mee Fog on the stage apron and in the sets simulate additional smoke for the battle, and also flowing surf during the Galveston hurricane.
"Materials were a challenge," reports Anderson. "There was a lot of scrim work with three-dimensional sets behind the scrims. The client needed it to be as real as possible. There are real native shrubs and grasses in the sets, uncoated but dipped in fire retardant. Ruth Suser Designs preserved and supplied them, picked and cut to specific needs. They were selected with curatorial accuracy down to the species of oak-tree leaf in the San Jacinto region at the time."
Getting the details of the unique Texas weather right was just as important. With the exception of the stylized, star-shaped clouds that appear over the state capitol in the finale, the clouds represented on the painted drops are faithful to the region and very specific. Transducers in the seats help create the thunderstorm rumble, along with the audio mix. Electrosonic provided a 32-channel audio system. An Akai DR-16pro supplies 16 channels of digital playback for the main show while a Dolby CP-45 film audio decoder, wired microphones, and wireless microphones allow for flexible audio sources. A Peavey MediaMatrix DSP audio processor digitally processes and distributes the audio to more than 75 loudspeakers and 197 seat transducers.
The nine-channel, surround-sound system includes 21 Crown amplifiers, five JBL loudspeakers, six PAS subwoofers, 12 Peavey surround-sound speakers, and seven Tannoy speakers. Main front speakers are positioned high along the front of the proscenium, supported by additional left-center-right speakers and point-source speakers onstage, as well as 47 zone speakers distributed underneath the seats. The final sound mix was done live, in-house.
According to Chisman, some unique elements were added to involve guests with disabilities. "The locations for guests in wheelchairs have transducers beneath a steel plate," he says. "The first crack of thunder activates the transducers and the rumble passes up through the chair." For the hearing-impaired, Rear Window LED captioning is provided, as well as two different audio tracks with hearing assist. For the sight-impaired, there is a descriptive channel that describes what's happening onstage, in between lines of dialogue.
"It's a permanent museum show with many similarities to a theme park attraction," remarks Ferreira, "but we didn't have the built-in advantages of being in a theme park. The entire theatre had to be designed around the show, and the BRC team was as active in designing the facility as the show."
"The physical aspects of the production were formidable and required a lot of coordination," confirms Vanderbeek. "The final show depended on a very precise integration of many different elements — stage hardware, show systems, lighting, special effects, and theatrical components. But from a storytelling standpoint, the Texas Spirit Theatre was a relatively easy project — and fun. Texans are such personalities. There really is a Texas spirit — resourceful, independent. It doesn't take much to wake it up."

Financially Independent -- and Married
Why Separate Money?
You said "for richer and for poorer," and you meant it. But you also want to make sure that, among everything you share, there are some resources -- and the freedom and peace of mind that come with them -- for you. In fact, experts say it's perfectly okay, if not wise, to carve out some financial independence for yourself, both for now and for whatever the future may bring.
"Financial independence is important in a marriage because it can also mean 'independence of thought,'" says Tina B. Tessina, PhD, a psychotherapist in Long Beach, California and author of How to Be a Couple and Still Be Free (New Page Books, 2002). "A woman who has some financial independence is free to state her mind, disagree, ask for what she wants, and a woman who doesn't is not."
But what kind of "financial independence"? Why would you need it if you've already gotten the Prince Charming, white dress, and the joint checking you always dreamed of? Isn't "financial independence" a nicer way of saying "Making sure you don't get screwed in a divorce?" And if so, what's an even nicer way to discuss it with your partner?
"Financial independence" means lots of things to lots of women. For one thing, especially as women marry later and later -- having lived on their own in the meantime -- many are independent when they walk down the aisle, and see no reason to change things. The next generation seems to be making similar plans. According to a Rutgers University study, the desire to "make it on my own" before getting married is increasingly important to twentysomething women (especially African-Americans). Of course, as the divorce rate still hovers around 50 percent, they may also want to make sure that, if necessary, they could "make it" after marriage as well. (A woman's standard of living can drop up to 27 percent after a divorce, while a man's may rise by 10 percent, according to the National Marriage Project.)
"I am totally uncomfortable with the idea of being financially dependent on my partner," says Michelle, 34, of Vienna, Virginia, who is currently supporting her husband while he looks for work. "My parents divorced when I was 10 and my mom was left with nothing, no job, and no direction. She went back to school and got a good job, but she has always stressed the importance of not only maintaining financial independence, but also my own direction and identity. While I look to my mom's example, I feel that my relationship with my husband is better because we are equal partners and decisions are made together."
Women heading into a second marriage may also be skittish about sharing everything or having their new husband play banker.
Mostly, though, women seek -- or maintain -- some degree of financial independence for positive, in-the-know reasons. For many, it's not about dollars and cents so much as a sense of self. "Single women really are in a position to have everything they need and want -- car loans, credit cards, mortgages in their own name -- which, not so long ago, was not the case," says Diana Adile Kirschner, PhD, a psychologist in private practice in Manhattan. "They really have a separate identity and selfhood, and when they get married that's going to play out financially."
Mila, 38 of New York City, is actually trying to become more independent before she walks down the aisle next year. "The idea of 'sharing a life' has flung me onto a financial-independence fast track. I'm starting to look at investment properties down south, in my name," she says. "I have two friends going through harrowing divorces with 'nice guys' who secretly spent wads of moola on Internet porn and liquor. I think women need to maintain their own security. Although a 'real' partnership comes from the merging of two independent sources, you've got to keep some enmeshed-free zone of your own."

Crime & Punishment: Someone Else Tries to Exploit the Sandy Hook Tragedy For Money
New Britain Mayor Tim O'Brien chose Christmas Eve to quietly announce the cash-strapped city would use $100,000 from the mayor's legal-defense fund to hire a high-power PR firm to promote a bill that would fine the landlords of properties that rack up police complaints. The firm, Global Strategy Group, counts among its past clients Al Gore, Gov. Dannel Malloy, the last three governors of New York and corporations like Disney and General Electric. It may seem oversized for one issue local to a small city. But the choice makes more sense when you consider O'Brien's political ass is on the line. The bill has been vigorously opposed by landlords, including a politically connected former mayor and a real estate tycoon who, after he implied to his tenants that the city would charge them $500 for calling 911 (which is not true), managed to get them out for city council meetings. The Hartford Courant reports that some of these landlords plan to work to oust O'Brien.
Nouel Alba of the Bronx was arrested on charges of soliciting donations while falsely claiming to be the aunt of six-year-old Noah Pozner, who died at Sandy Hook Elementary. Within hours of the shooting, Alba, 37, allegedly posted on Facebook that she was a relative of a victim. The next day, she announced there was "a funeral fund" and linked to her PayPal account, according to an FBI affidavit. She also reportedly told donors that she had entered the school to identify Noah's body and had met President Obama when he visited Newtown. "Ima mess," she allegedly wrote to one donor via text message. "Not looking forward to see that casket cause that is what will kill us all today. 11 gun shot in his little body." If these allegations are proven true, Alba could get up to five years in prison (followed by a lengthier stint in Hell).
A Middletown woman claims she found her boyfriend Thomas Dillon laying in bed, incoherently high after taking her Valium pills, according to the Middletown Patch website. Once roused, Dillon, 33, reportedly complained of seeing "cereal puff people everywhere" and then told her, "My pop's a potato." He also said he wanted to take their 7-month-old baby to see his grandmother, though she has been dead for some time. Dillon then got angry and shoved the woman while she was holding their infant and hit her over the head with a plastic bottle of apple juice "three to six times," according to the police report. (Mother and baby were splattered with juice.)
A woman in the process of selling her deceased parents' home in Fairfield noticed that a recent electric bill was oddly high. She asked police to look in on the place and they found someone living there. The resident had apparently answered a Craigslist ad from a person listing the property as a rental. She paid a $2,700 deposit and $900 in rent to a man who claimed to be the landlord, though she was suspicious when the key he provided did not work and he stopped answering her messages after collecting the deposit and first month's rent. The Fairfield Patch website reports that police are continuing to investigate.
A Fairfield man, who apparently felt responsible enough to own an assault rifle, says the weapon was stolen from his unlocked garage. The Fairfield Citizen reports that the gun is an AR15 Bushmaster. (Yes, the same kind used at Sandy Hook.) The owner can only say it was taken sometime between Superstorm Sandy and late December. Because of storm damage, he has been renovating his garage, leaving it unsecured, and being a ginormous dumbass, failed to consider another place to store his $1,000 military-grade killing machine.
There wasn't a feeling of peace on earth or goodwill towards men at one Norwalk home, where a pre-Christmas spat led to the arrests of both husband and wife. Police told The Hour that the quarrel between William Duckworth and Lovely Jamison (yeah, that's her name) started with a disagreement over the presents Duckworth, 33, had bought for his daughters and that Jamison, for some reason, yelled "the blood of Jesus" before slugging her husband. Also, the fight was enough to pull apart the wig Jamison, 28, was wearing.
The Christmas celebration at a Hartford home allegedly included an "alcohol-fueled" knife fight in which a man, woman and two children (ages 9 and 14) were cut, reports the Hartford Courant. Vincent Motley and Monique Woodson are accused of carving not a holiday turkey but each other. The children's wounds were thankfully not serious.
And in one last festive fracas, 28-year-old Shanea Hylton allegedly walked up to a pregnant woman doing some last-minute shopping on Christmas Eve at the Walmart in Hamden and punched her in the face. The alleged victim was taken to a local hospital, police told the New Haven Register.
At a New London convenience store, Francisco Reyes allegedly ripped open and consumed food items, like a creature from the movie Gremlins, when a clerk suggested he pay for them. Reyes, 46, reportedly responded by pulling out a knife, according to The Day. Police say they later found heroin on him.

Can Donald Brown be a viable fantasy back as the Colts continue to spiral downward? What about Ben Tate posting better numbers than Arian Foster, and do we trust Ahmad Bradshaw or Peyton Hillis? Maybe, maybe not, but we do know Reggie Bush is red-hot. Let's get to our editors' tips this week because we can use any help we can get as we continue pushing towards making it to championship week.
If you're looking for production out of Bills RB C.J. Spiller in Week 15, you better hope it comes in terms of receiving. The Dolphins have been extremely stout against the run lately, having not allowed 100 rushing yards in five games. In those five games, opponents have averaged 56.8 yards on the ground. The Bills have wanted to get Spiller the ball in space, and they may try to throw more screen passes on Sunday, and that is your best hope for fantasy points for Spiller, who struggles in between the tackles as is. Over the past four weeks, the Dolphins have allowed 56.3 receiving yards to opposing backs allowing Spiller an opportunity this weekend, making him a low-end No. 2 fantasy back or flex-play.
It is not known who will start at quarterback for Miami — J.P. Losman or Matt Moore. If it's Losman, that's even more reason to expect big numbers from Dolphins RB Reggie Bush, especially against a weak Bills run defense. Bush only went 15-32-1 rushing and 4-32 receiving against Buffalo in Week 11, but Miami often worked with a short field. Keep an eye on the quarterback situation throughout the week when adjusting your lineups, but Bush does make a No. 2 fantasy RB this week.
Browns head coach Pat Shurmur had a positive review on the health of RBs Montario Hardesty and Peyton Hillis on Wednesday. "It's probably safe to say we're getting as healthy as we've been," Shurmur said, according to the club. Said Shurmur: "I'm looking forward to seeing Peyton playing quite a bit." That's notable, as Hillis (10-25-0) and Hardesty (11-24-0) split carries last week at Pittsburgh. However, it appears that the Browns could be prepared to give Hillis more work this week. Hillis makes an injury fill-in this week with Hardesty on the fantasy bench.
There have been few bright spots for the Colts — both on the field and in terms of fantasy relevance — and Week 14 was no exception. Baltimore's vaunted "D" made life miserable for Dan Orlovsky and Co., holding Indianapolis' anemic offense to 167 total yards. In Week 15, Indianapolis hosts the Titans, a far less formidable stop-unit than the Ravens. Tennessee was burned on a pair of second-half Drew Brees TDs last week, but mostly has held up well in pass defense. Stopping the run has been a different story, however. Over the past four weeks against the position the Titans are allowing 159 yards from scrimmage and 0.5 TDs per game. RB Donald Brown continues to be the man in the backfield, and he could bounce back from a wretched performance last week (9-28-0), against the Titans' 22nd-ranked run defense. Brown makes a flex-play or injury fill-in fantasy back this week.
That Texans second-year back Ben Tate was in the game instead of starter Arian Foster with Houston trying to punch it in at the goal line late in the first quarter of Week 14 was a bit of a head-scratcher, we hear. Tate proceeded to fumble after being met in the backfield by Bengals MLB Ray Maualuga, and Cincinnati drove 97 yards downfield to take 10-point lead following the miscue. On the day, Tate (8-67-0) outperformed Foster (15-41-0), but a chunk of his yards came on a 44-yard jaunt in the first quarter, in which the Texans' O-line opened up a huge hole on the right side. Foster is not only the better receiver and blocker, but he is definitely better near the goal line, hence there should be no concern about his quiet afternoon in Week 14. Foster's a given must-start, but Tate makes a flex-play fantasy RB this week against the Panthers' run defense.
The Redskins have been respectable against the run for most of the season after a short run around midseason in which they broke down more often. But recently, things have improved: In the past five games, they have not allowed a team to run for more than 124 yards and twice have held opponents under 100 yards. Projecting a huge game from Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw is a risk, especially after his 8-12-0 rushing performance at Dallas. But Bradshaw is the lead back, the one who makes things go for them. Expect more carries and yards as his body feels healthier, but the Redskins won't let him run wild. He makes a flex-play fantasy back this week, but in larger leagues is a low-end No. 2.
Kevin Smith (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. The Lions' talented but injury-prone back suffered a high ankle sprain on Thanksgiving, but was able to play 10 days later at New Orleans on Dec. 4. However, he was unable to play vs. Minnesota on Sunday, after not playing for most of the second half of the Saints game because of the injury. If Morris can play, he's definitely worth considering against a horrible Oakland run defense. If he's out, Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams will be the top options, but neither is an especially wonderful option. Neither back has had more than 13 carries in a game this season, nor has either back reached even 60 yards rushing in a game. Right now, Smith makes a No. low-end No. 2 in larger leagues or a flex fantasy back. If he can't go, Morris makes an injury fill-in as does Williams.
Matt Forté (knee) is expected to sit out again Sunday vs. the Seahawks. The Bears will use Marion Barber and Kahlil Bell to handle the rushing duties for the second-straight game. Barber had his first 100-yard game in two years last week against the Broncos, but he also made crucial errors late that proved very costly. It would be no surprise if Bell gets more involved this week, and Seattle's run defense has been stingier than Denver's this season. Barber could take a step back in Week 15 and fits best as a low-end No. 2 fantasy back.
Considering how well Ryan Grant (10-85-2 rushing and 1-13-0 receiving) played in the Packers' rout over the Raiders, our Green Bay sources' best guess is that he will be counted on to pretty much carry the load along with FB John Kuhn for the team's ground game the rest of the regular season. Once the second season starts, though, look for the main man to once again be James Starks, who is expected to be fully recovered from the ankle injury that has kept him out recently. Undrafted rookie Brandon Saine has yet to practice this week after being knocked out of the last game with a concussion. But word is there is still a good chance the very promising Saine could return to action before the regular season is over. For fantasy purposes, though, Grant looks likes the best Packer RB option, although Kuhn — who for the last two years now has put up surprisingly good fantasy numbers, relative to his value — could be just as big a scoring threat as Grant, both rushing and receiving as a TD vulture. This week Grant makes a low-end No. 2 or fantasy flex-play back. Kuhn is always a bench-play back outside of larger leagues who are desperate for a cheap TD as an injury fill-in. He has six TDs so far but his last was in Week 12.
Mark Ingram did not practice Wednesday and continues to be bothered by the turf toe that kept him out in Week 14. The Saints rookie's chances of playing Sunday vs. the Vikings don't appear very high at this point, but monitor his status over the weekend. Ingram's absence most significantly affects RB Chris Ivory's role on offense. Ivory could be inactive if Ingram plays, but he'll be in line for 10-15 carries if Ingram can't go and will be worth considering as a low-end No. 3 back.
Eyebrows were raised when Niners RB Frank Gore got only 10 carries vs. Arizona last week. Niners head coach Jim Harbaugh indicated after the game that Gore is battling both knee and ankle injuries and his fantasy owners should be legitimately concerned about his effectiveness. We hear it's not a given, though, that the Niners will use him less in an effort preserve him because Gore wants to stay on the field so badly. In addition, his 37-yard TD scamper — which came on a funky "fly sweep" trick play — showed that Gore could still provide a big-play fantasy punch even at less than 100 percent. While he may be listed as a No. 2 fantasy back, this week he has minimal upside if any, so he could produce as little as an injury fill-in with the Steelers coming to town.

Friday's shooting tragedy at a Connecticut school has again brought the topic of gun control to the forefront.
Twenty elementary school children were among the 27 people killed when a gunman opened fire inside a kindergarten class at Sandy Hook Elementary. Adam Lanza, who killed his mother first, was identified as the shooter. He killed himself as a finale to the massacre.
Immediately the debate turned to gun control with advocates saying stricter gun controls are obviously needed. This is the fifth time this President has had to visit the families of mass shooting victims. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, however, said Friday " was not the day" to discuss gun control.
But the President made it clear that this does bring the topic back up. He was criticized during the election by gun control advocates for allowing politics to temper his voice on this issue. Gun owners and strong Second Amendment supporters expect that to change now that there is no longer an election on the line.
Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel, D-Great Neck, a strong advocate for stricter gun control legislation said elected officials must put public safety before the interests of the strongest gun lobbyists.
Those who support gun ownership, however, say disarming those who legally seek gun ownership only leaves the criminals armed since they don't follow the law anyway. They suggest it is a cry for more gun ownership, not less, just stricter enforcement against those who possess guns illegally.
What was your gut reaction to the tragedy? Stricter gun control or time to go out and buy a gun of your own?

Roberta Davis, Kohl's Injury Prevention Education Coordinator with the Children's Hospital of Michigan, has the following home fire prevention and safety tips. To learn more, log on to www.childrensdmc.org/KIPP.Fires:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about 85% of all U.S. fire deaths occur in homes. Most victims die from smoke or toxic gases not from burns. Smoking is the leading cause of fire-related deaths and cooking is the primary cause of residential fires.To protect yourself from death and injury from fire:1. Install working smoke detectors on each level of your home to include the sleeping areas.2. Have a fire escape plan and practice that plan. Two ways out of each room and one outside meeting place.
To avoid fires in the home:1. Stay with the stove or oven when you are cooking.2. Make sure not to overload electrical outlets. If there are two receptacles then there should only be two electrical appliances plugged in.3. Blow out all candles when you leave the room.4. Store matches and lighters above an adults shoulder preferably in a locked cabinet.Burns:According to the American Burn Association (ABA) the most common cause of burn injuries were contact with fire or flame and scald injuries.To protect yourself from burns:1.Turn your hot water heater down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit or warm. Dial it down.2. Remember an iron can take up to 90 minutes to cool completely. 3. Do not hold an infant or child while drinking hot liquids.4. Cook on the back burners of your stove and turn pot/pan handles in, away from the edge.5. The microwave is as dangerous as the stove- steam burns are very common from microwave food and cooking.Shocks:It's that time of year again when it's cold outside and dry inside, a perfect storm for shocks.To avoid shocking yourself or others:1. Store and use electric devices away from water.2. Replace electrical equipment that is worn or damaged.3. Try not to drag feet across carpeting in the home. (Static electricity)4. Avoid overloading power strips and other receptacles with multiple plugs. Using only two pugs per outlet lessens the risk of shock and fire.5. Check all the Christmas lights for frays or damage before plugging them in.First-degree (superficial) burnsFirst-degree burns affect only the epidermis, or outer layer of skin. The burn site is red, painful, dry, and with no blisters. Mild sunburn is an example. Long-term tissue damage is rare and usually consists of an increase or decrease in the skin color.Second-degree (partial thickness) burnsSecond-degree burns involve the epidermis and part of the dermis layer of skin. The burn site appears red, blistered, and may be swollen and painful.Third-degree (full thickness) burnsThird-degree burns destroy the epidermis and dermis. Third-degree burns may also damage the underlying bones, muscles, and tendons. The burn site appears white or charred. There is no sensation in the area since the nerve endings are destroyed. Second and third-degree burns require the immediate attention of a physician or other healthcare provider.

The Texans' head coach met with the media yesterday afternoon to discuss what he saw and how his plans moving forward after the Texans' preseason game with the Vikings on Friday night.
Shaun Cody is gone, but little has been said about the new starter on the nose. Earl Mitchell's the de-facto starter. Should this be accepted or treated like an open position battle?

DescrizioneShare in nature's gifts, joy of well-being, and good company through Korean food
- Korean food is often said to be «food of sharing». When we eat the food, we share in nature's gifts, the joy of well-being, and good company. We hope you discover new joy in life and well-being through exploring Korean cuisine.
Korean cuisine, or Hansik, is rapidly gaining popularity across the globe, probably because of its well-orchestrated bursts of flavors and health-enhancing effects. The Korean Restaurant Guide, England aims to reveal the many qualities of Korean cuisine to the British people, as well as other Europeans, who value tradition and history.
This App is the foundation's most ambitious effort to promote the finest Korean restaurants outside of Korea, and share authentic flavors and style of Korean cuisine with people of other cultures. The England guide App reviews Korean restaurants presently operating in London and New Malden. A total of 41 restaurants made it to the final selection based on evaluations of food, service, hygiene, and décor by a group of Korean and British food critics and restaurant specialists. From fine-dining Hanjeongsik (Korean table d'hôte) restaurants to convivial eateries offering homemade dishes based on family secret recipes and neighborhood hangouts where diners knock back glasses of traditional Korean liquors, this guidebook covers a wide selection of restaurants with detailed descriptions and photos for readers to choose from based on individual preferences. We hope this book will encourage more local food lovers to seek out Korean culinary destinations and to experience the charm of Korean cuisine.
This app provides the following services:
- The Korean Restaurant Guide, England lists Korean restaurants in London, Great Britain in categories based on either location or price range, and provides brief information on each restaurant, including notes on the ambiance and recommended menu items.
- The Korean Restaurant Guide, England makes listings available in English, French, and Korean.
- For restaurants with their websites listed, the app allows you to jump to their sites using your browser. It also allows you to call them using your telephone service, and calculates the prices of menu items in other currencies with just one click.
- It allows you to verify the location of each restaurant on the map, and utilizes your built-in GPS to display the shortest route to your destination. (Please note that the app may be unable to provide directions if the GPS signal is weak.)

Infragravity wave
Infragravity waves are surface gravity waves with frequencies lower than the wind waves – consisting of both wind sea and swell – so corresponding with the part of the wave spectrum lower than the frequencies directly generated by forcing through the wind.
Infragravity waves consist, among others, of long-period oceanic waves generated along continental coastlines by nonlinear wave interactions of storm-forced shoreward-propagating ocean swells. These differ from normal oceanic gravity waves, which are created by wind acting on the surface of the sea. Normal gravity waves typically have a frequency on the order of 50 millihertz (i.e., a period of 20 seconds). Interactions of these waves with coastlines filters out the frequencies with periods about 30 seconds, but nonlinear processes convert some of this energy to subharmonics with periods ranging from 50 seconds (20 mHz) to 350 seconds (3 mHz). Infragravity waves are these subharmonics of the impinging gravity waves.[2]
Technically infragravity waves are simply a subcategory of gravity waves and refer to all gravity waves with periods greater than 30 s. Although they include phenomena such as tides and oceanic Rossby waves, in the common literature their use is limited to gravity waves that are generated by the topography of the bottom.
The term "infragravity wave" appears to have been coined by Walter Munk in 1950.[1][3]
|This section's factual accuracy is disputed. (October 2011)
As a result of geology, infragravity-wave-induced large-scale bedforms (e.g., bars), and biologic process (e.g., reefs) the shoreline and the near-shore features of the sea floor often has a periodic character. Coastal sand bars are a significant contributor to the generation of infragravity waves and are shaped by them. On the inner side of a sand bar, the size of the bar is determined by the length of short wavelength wind-generated gravity waves. On the outer side of the bar the bar shape is dictated by the length of the infragravity waves which correlate to and are driven by the groups of short waves.[4] Similarly, coral reefs are effective in generating infragravity waves; in the case of coral reefs, the infragravity periods are established by resonances with the reef itself.[5][6]
Infragravity waves generated along the Pacific coast of North America have been observed to propagate transoceanically to Antarctica and there to impinge on the Ross Ice Shelf. Their frequencies more closely couple with the ice shelf natural frequencies and they produce a larger amplitude ice shelf movement than the normal ocean swell of gravity waves. Further, they are not damped by sea ice as normal ocean swell is. As a result they flex floating ice shelves such as the Ross Ice Shelf; this flexure contributes significantly to the breakup on the ice shelf.[2][7]

|A good fantasy life is healthy
|Saturday, June 01, 2013 12:15 AM
I have a lot of fantasies.
No, not those kinds of fantasies…well, maybe those, too…but wait, I'm getting off track here. I'm talking about "practical fantasies." Like having a house with two bathrooms. Those kind of fantasies.
I dream of one day living in a home in which I can use the facilities in peace without kids banging on the door. I dream that I will be able to shower from start to finish, enjoy a relaxing shower without my husband coming in and doing his business. I dream that I will, one day, have my own bathroom.
Sure, my dream might not be as noble as, say, Martin Luther King's. But it's my dream, just the same. It's not my only dream, either.
I also have visions of one day living in the woods. I love our cute little house now, but I've always seen myself living in an old house in the woods. I just think it'd be great. I like the idea of being able to go outside without worrying what I'm wearing or who's around. Every time we now drive by an old home with character that's located in the woods, I stare off wistfully and picture us all living there. I can see it.
Old fireplaces really do it for me, too. If we ever move again, it's on my wish list. I love them. I'd love to spend Christmas Eve gathered around the fireplace, roasting marshmallows and listening to Bing Crosby. Nowhere we've lived has had a fireplace.
There's always the possibility of adding onto the house we're in now…when we moved here, we did say it was more of a "transitional home" and that we'd eventually like to make some improvements, sell it, and then maybe build. Maybe in the woods! My dad is an architect, so he's already sketched out plans of adding onto the house – like the first week we moved in, on the back of a menu at A & W. (He's a genius, by the way. Must be where I get it. Right?) Anyway, now it's a matter of bringing these plans to fruition – and that's a matter of money.
Which brings me back to my fantasies. For now, that's all they'll be. Hopefully someday they can be realities…just not right now.
So what are some of your home improvement fantasies? I think we all dream of bigger and/or better at one time or another. Unless you are the original Joneses, the ones we're all trying to keep up with. Who am I kidding? We stopped trying to keep up with them years ago. I actually don't think we ever tried.
So unless you already have it all, I'm sure there's a project or two you'd like to start to improve the ol' homestead. Why not make a plan to do it? Oh, yeah. Money. That pesky thing again. Well, if you have the money, what's stopping you? And if you don't have the money right now…
It's always healthy to have a good fantasy life.

Posted 04 July 2007 - 02:01 AM
As for the original question of the thread, WOW.
I think of what I would have changed and I am not real sure. I did not call my incidents rape either. I still today after 15 years away from my ex have a hard time believing that it was rape. As one post said, if I admit it was rape, then it makes me more damaged. I am freaking out quite a bit since I have begun to admit the real truth. It is like admitting I was so screwed up instead of thinking I was able to keep it all together for all those wasted years with him. If I had labeled these incidents as rape from the beginning, perhaps I would not have stayed around as long while the incidents continued to become more humiliating and degrading and more forceful leading up to the night when I was forced to beg my ex to hurt me which he did. By choosing to stay with him all those years, I could not admit rape and he was controlling me in every aspect of my life including in bed, because if I admitted it, then I was everything he called me and deserved everything he did to me because I did not leave. Even today, I say to myself "It was not that bad, really." Because it is hard to face the fact that it was bad and I did stay for so long. If I had admitted it as rape, perhaps I would not have suffered such a bad period of depression after I finally got rid of him as if I were grieving for the lost relationship or the loss of my love for him which he killed. You would think I would have been relieved yet I felt such a sense of loss in my life. A big hole and a lot of years spent all for nothing.
Also, if I had admitted it back then and got away from him because of it, then perhaps I would not have been such a doormat when another guy came along who raped me and tried to manipulate me. I would have recognized the signs of a controlling man and gotten away. Instead this man ended up leaving me. So I could not even admit that he raped me either because I was unsure how to leave him, too. To my credit, I did know early on that somehow I needed to leave and it did not take me 7 years to realize it with another 3 years trying to get away for good. This relationship was only a few short months. But how long would it have been if he had not left and gone to Miami? How long would I have stayed and how many more times would he have raped me?
As one poster said, admitting to rape is like admitting I am a failure. So now all these years later I am dealing with the fact that I failed. Failed at the relationship-not necessarily my fault, but failing at protecting myself and getting out-yes my fault.
So my question is this: is it easier to say it was rape if it was some stranger attacking you versus someone you knew and possibly loved? I wonder about this. What would I say if it had been a stranger instead of a man who asked me to marry him or the other boyfriend?

Personally yes I think it is easier. Stranger rape tends to fit better into the media's representation of what rape is. Despite the fact that most women are raped by someone they know society still does not acknowledge this.

Steph, i back this up 100%, i totally agree, it even shows in sentencing, the stranger rape sentences are tending to be much longer than the rapes by known persons.
one wonders how long it will take the rest of society to wake up.

Oh well.

Society will only wake up a hundred years after women finally get to run everything: when women make up the majority of world leaders, politicians, and CEO's intstead of just a small percentage. Men and their inferior superiority complex just cannot allow women to actually run everything and dictate laws and attitudes. I firmly believe that man as a gender has a deep-seated feeling of inferiority which causes man as a gender to want to dominate all around them including other genders, races, countries, religions. The world would be a much more peaceful place if women were in charge.

I read that, yes, people who are attacked by strangers are more likely to call it rape. And yeah, professional theories to explain this are that they feel confident to report it because people they are more likely to be believed, since their incident matches the images most often presented.
Also, it tends to be the case that people who are attacked by a stranger before being threatened by attack by an aquaintance are more likely to get out of the situation with the person they know more quickly, because they recognize the signs and feelings. People who are attacked first by people they know do not recognize or legitimize their anxiety.

When I told my GP what had happened she asked me if I thought I had been raped and I was really shocked that she said it... I don't know why, as when I look back on it now I realise that that was what it was. I told her that I couldn't remember what had happened and so it was possible that I gave consent. She didn't refer me for counselling, for sexual health screening, anything.... she looked at me like I was crazy and suggested that I perhaps talk to someone at uni about it!
I referred myself to the uni counselling service thinking that they too would think I was crazy but that they could perhaps do something about it. They were really good about everything. My counsellor gave me information about drink spiking and he told me that there was no doubt in his mind that that was what had happened. In the end I was referred to my local rape crisis centre and for the screening after finally accepting that I probably had been raped.
So to answer your question, I think I would have recieved help alot quicker if I had just called it rape from the start, if I had just accepted it from the start instead of being in denial... But it is so difficult to accept sometimes and even now I doubt myself . I'm confusing myself now, I'm not even sure if that makes any sense? Sorry if it doesn't

My second rape I didn't actually think of rape until after I joined Pandy's last year. It was a sexual experience that I always knew was not right somehow, particularly since I don't remember it at all. And it is a very confusing experience, since I said no repeatedly, but he continued and then (here is where it's confusing to me) due to being afraid of his roommates walking in on us (as he would be raping me), I willingly walked into his room with him (this is where my memory fails--I don't even know when I left or how I got home). But recently, I was on a different (non survivor) forum dealing with marital issues, and due to the relative anonymity of the forum, I shared about this rape (long story why), and a man replied to me "That would be rape, you said no. You don't have to keep repeating it." And that was very affirming to me, and helped in a way that I didn't expect in a place I didn't expect. I think with this one, I have a good chance of healing from it despite not working on it for so long. It was less traumatic, I think, somehow.

Rape is such a horrible and harsh word. I always feel a numbing shockwave jolt through my body when I hear the word out loud. I sometimes think that SA is much easier to say out loud..... Rape implies the ultimate loss of control and I am too stubborn to give anyone that satisfaction. I just have a hard time admitting that type of vulnerability.

I couldn't believe it was happening. I had embraced my faith, and we were taught priests were celibate, and that we needed them to receive God's grace, that they were, essentially, our road to God.
So I initially framed this as me being so bad that I had caused a holy man to sin.
I literally could not speak during or after the attack.
It has only been within the last year or so that I have realized this was rape.
Had I known earlier, I would not have taken to heart the horrible things he said to me: that I was a contaminent and a trap, among others. I would not have constantly felt the need to prove that I was good. I would have enjoyed more ease in my relationships. I would have had more success in my work.
I knew I didn't want to do anything like that with him, a revolting 67-year-old priest. But I didn't know it was rape.
Now I know and I'm not shutting up ever again.

I think also in regard to my childhood abuse, again if I had understood and known what happened to me was sexual abuse, I might have gotten help a looong time ago. But again I cannot change the past and I am getting help now.

Legislation would address synthetic drugs
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ The Nebraska Legislature is expected to debate a proposal that would ban new classes of synthetic drugs that mimic the effects of illegal substances.
Omaha Sen. Beau McCoy of Omaha, who introduced the bill, says that these drugs are dangerous and need to be outlawed.
Douglas County Sheriff's Office forensic scientist Christine Gabig says law enforcement struggles to keep up with and ban the new forms of synthetic drugs being created.
That's why she is working with McCoy to craft legislation to ban new
generations of chemically engineered drugs that mimic the highs users get while using drugs like marijuana, meth, LSD, ecstasy or psychedelic mushrooms.
Gabig says the drugs have been sold at tobacco and head shops disguised as incense.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – A man from Wilmington plans to use money he won playing the Mega Bucks game to take his wife on a honeymoon.
According to the North Carolina Education Lottery, Charles Wallace II, a landscaper, stopped for gas at the Han-Dee Hugo on North College Road to test his luck.
"I was right outside at the pump when I scratched off the ticket," Wallace said in a press release. "I just started crying tears of joy right then and there. This money will really help my family."
Wallace said he has been married to his wife for 20 years and never got to go on a honeymoon.
"Now we can finally make it right," said Wallace. "We're going to take a Caribbean cruise."
According to the NCECL, Wallace said he plans to use a portion of his winnings, worth $68,001 after state and federal taxes were withheld, to pay off his car loans.
