I think part of your problem is mourning the loss of foods that you can no longer consume. Many of us go through that to a certain extent. Foods with poor nutritional value are readily available and often require no effort to consume. You can buy a doughnut and wolf it down in a minute. A lot of people discover when they go on a healthy diet that most of their food intake was junky carbs. As a nurse I thought was eating a balanced diet until I started adding up all the carbs and, though I wasn't eating doughnuts per say, I was heavy on the starches. I found that I didn't really love true veggies as much as I thought I did when the potatoes, corn, beans were taken out of the mix. Eating a lot of starches was easy for me. Getting in my low glycemic veggies was more challenging. It's easy to fall into the only eating meat mindsset because it's safe but it gets boring quickly. I found that I needed to try new foods and old foods in new ways to be satisfied.
We really need to know what plan you are on. To be honest, if you haven't chosen a plan then that in essence is the key to your problem, You need a formal plan and then you can tweak it. I tend to think that you are not attuned to Atkins and Protein Power but need a more liberal carb diet like South Beach. There is little deprivation on it. No you can't have doughnuts but you can't have them on any healthy diet. Things like this need to be put in the rare treat area if at all. I find that doughnuts make me literally sick now.
If we know what plan you are on we can suggest snacks and other foods to help you.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating eggs nor healthy carbs.

It is all about making a lifestyle change. Weight loss for today, good health for the future. Picking a smart carb diet with foods that you enjoy will make all the difference. I am South Beach oriented. It works because it fits into my overall lifestyle and health needs.
Good luck to you! Carol

NOTHING is bad IF it works for you. I am sorry but NO PLAN fits every person perfectly. We have to figure out what will fit in OUR life and that we can follow for just that - a lifetime. Otherwise we will be doing the yo yo routine - ie dieting, losing, gaining - rinse repeat.

I don't think there is a right or a wrong way to be low carb. You decide how many carbs you would like to have in a days time and get yourself a nutritional book that lists food values including carbs. If you pick a number say "50" for example and you're not losing, then cut it down a little, or if you are losing too much, add a few more to it.
I'd say to get your carbs from wholesome "real foods" not processed or junk foods.. Veggies, beans if you decide to have those, but the carbs add up fast. Fruits can be worked in, nuts - whatever your choices are.
I try for 30-40 grams carbs a day OR 1200 calories, whichever comes first - given my age, I find it's harder to lose so I do have to be mindful of the total picture too. I don't always have salad or green veggies, I do have fruits sometimes and cottage cheese and sometimes will make a l/c smoothie with half a cup of fruit in it... I try not to get in a rut, but to vary my choices from day to day.
I have that book and love it. It's written by George Stella and he has a website www.stellastyle.com/
You can also find many of his recipes on foodnetwork.com. Just search on George Stella. We had his Knife and Fork Turkey Burgers this weekend served on a bed of chopped romaine. DH loves just about every recipe from George.
Remember, nobody can go back to the very beginning and make a brand new start, but anyone can start here and make a brand new end.

Living low carb...a book sold at Amazon might help. You may want to move from one plan to another. I personally am doing my own thing...based on several plans and it is working just fine. I lose about 2 pounds a week!
www.lowcarbfriends.com is another place you ought to check out! LOTS OF IDEAS! It helped me!
My version of cheating is Adkins daybreak bars or sugar free jello. PLEASE If you think it is bad DON'T tell me!!! It's my coping mechanism to PMS!

Romans 12: 1-2 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Godthis is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will ishis good, pleasing and perfect will."
Breathe. Just sounds like you need to do some surfing for ideas on how to expand. Mind you I am not Atkins based but SB/paleo minded but I have found it is just the matter of figuring out what foods you DO like and figuring out how to incorporate them in. Kalyn's Kitchen is a blog site - she is South Beach but her phase 1 recipes would be more in line with closer to Atkins.
I think half the battle for most folks is we get into food ruts.

There are also websites with great recipes including spark people. Go to the recipes page and search for low carb. You can do that at eatingwell.com and atkins.com too. There are bunches of low carb websites.
My spring breakfast these days is a hash made from chopped up breakfast sausage links tossed with a sliced cheese stick, a chopped up half of an avocado and a chopped small roma tomato. Keeps me filled up until lunch and since we had great weather on Sunday, I grilled the package of sausage to eat during the week. Has been a nice change from eggs.
Ezekial makes a sprouted grain bread that's low glycemic. I'll occasionally make an open face tuna or salmon melt sandwich or even have a piece of toast for breakfast. It can be a challenge to add variety to your diet.
The one-minute muffin recipe on this site is excellent too. There are lots of variations to it as well. I turn the batter into pancakes on weekends and serve it with sauteed berries.
Good luck!

I'm not sure which plan you're following but why don't you check out "The Carbohydrate Addict's Healthy Heart Plan" or the "South Beach" diet plans? Those list all the foods you can eat besides meat and eggs. The main thing is cutting out the junk carbs. But there are veggies, beans, etc you can eat on the plan as well as cheese and foods listed low carb at the grocery stores. Atkins has a book of low carb foods that you can get too ( pocketbook size book), that makes shopping for foods a lot easier.
I am getting very discouraged on this diet and I need help. I am having great luck in losing weight, but I feel as though I'm only eating meat. I know we should get our carbs rom veg but induction is really taking a toll on me. I need ideas for snacks, and what to eat besides meat meat meat. I'm also discouraged on eggs, seems like I'm always wrong when it comes to this diet and I don't know what to do. This is my panic button and I'm pushing it. Help help help!!!

Houston Texans tight end Garrett Graham's hamstring injury is "about the same as last week," said interim head coach Wade Phillips, according to CSN Houston. The tight end missed the Texans' Week 15 game against the Indianapolis Colts because of the injury.
The tight end has 545 receiving yards and five touchdowns on the season, taking over as the starter when No. 1 tight end Owen Daniels was injured in the team's Week 5 game against the San Francisco 49ers. In Graham's absence Sunday, rookie Ryan Griffin got the start and caught six passes for 62 yards.
Fantasy impact: Well ... if he's "about the same" as the week he missed a game, that doesn't exactly bode well for his playing status for Sunday. The Texans host the Denver Broncos at 1 p.m. ET Sunday, in a game that typically would call for the use of any pass-catcher on either roster.
In games that he's been healthy this season, Graham has averaged 6.3 fantasy points per game, which would be good for 10th among tight ends. But with this status, short of any clarification between now and then, it's hard to imagine anyone trusting him for Sunday's game. Griffin had a decent game in place of Graham Sunday, but owners would probably rather resort to the waiver wire, and someone like Zach Miller, Heath Miller, Marcedes Lewis, or other tight end instead of a largely untested rookie.

It's almost a mainstay of this country that the NSA only does foreign searches."

People were bullish on Hillary before this, said Tracy Klugian, a leading Las Vegas oddsmaker for over forty years.But the Rove thing makes it a lock.
After American Crossroadss historic string of defeats in 2012,Serious gamblers wait to see who Rove is supporting and then bet the house on the other side.
The oddsmakers only concern, he added, was that Roves involvement in the race will dry up all interest in betting on Republican candidates for 2016:Right now Im offering Marco Rubio at ninety thousand to one and I aint getting a bite.
While acknowledging that theres no sure thing in the world of gambling, Mr. Klugian said that for professional gamblers, betting against Karl Rove is as good as it gets.
Hes the LeBron James of losing, he said.

Anyone who is looking for a better, smarter, healthier and more effective way to manage the stress of uncertainty, should check out the latest blog post from Per Wickstrom.
"Doubt and second guessing are natural, and anyone who says that they experience neither are lying," commented Per Wickstrom, who blogs regularly on topics related to health, personal development, business success and more at http://www.PerWickstrom.com. "The issue isn't whether doubt and second guessing exist, but how people manage the stress of uncertainty. That, more than anything, determines whether they'll rise to the challenge and overcome obstacles."
According to Per Wickstrom, individuals who want to overcome the stress of uncertainty can keep the following in mind:
"With all of this being said, I can't stress enough – no pun intended! – how important it is for people to believe in themselves," added Per Wickstrom. "This doesn't mean that they shouldn't listen to others, or be willing to accept new, better advice on everything from how to run their business, to how they should spend quality time with friends and family, and so on. But it means that, ultimately, people need to invest in themselves emotional and psychologically, so that they have the inner resources they need to manage the stress of uncertainty. After all, if people don't believe in themselves, how can they expect others to believe in them?"
The full text of Per Wickstrom's latest blog entitled "Managing the Stress of Uncertainty" is available at http://www.perwickstrom.com/advice/managing-the-stress-of-uncertainty/.
For additional information or media inquiries, contact Amber Howe, Executive Director BDR, at (231) 887-4590 or ahowe(at)rehabadmin(dot)com.

Time-aware and trend-based authority ranking (2004)
Download Links

author = {Klaus Lorenz Berberich},
title = {Time-aware and trend-based authority ranking},
year = {2004}
This thesis devises time-aware and trend-based ranking techniques. The time-aware techniques exploit temporal information, present in networks like the World Wide Web, to produce rankings reflecting authority with regard to a temporal interest. The trendbased techniques produce rankings based on the relative change of authority with regard to a temporal interest. We describe mathematics behind the approaches and review efforts having related aims. On this basis, two time-aware and two trend-based methods are proposed. The time-aware methods extend PageRank and are defined incrementally. The trend-based methods are defined independently, one extending PageRank and the other based on a comparison of precomputed authority rankings. The methods were implemented in a prototype system using Java and extensively evaluated in a series of experiments on bibliographic and Web data. Results on the bibliographic data indicate that the methods produce meaningful rankings. Moreover, a user study, examining results obtained on Web data, gives strong evidence that the resulting rankings are preferred by the users and closer to their expectations.

UK: Public OK with creating babies from 3 people
Britain's fertility regulator says it has found broad public support for in vitro fertilization techniques that allow babies to be created with DNA from three people for couples at risk of passing on potentially fatal genetic diseases.
AP Medical Writer
Britain's fertility regulator says it has found broad public support for in vitro fertilization techniques that allow babies to be created with DNA from three people for couples at risk of passing on potentially fatal genetic diseases.
It also found there was no evidence to suggest the techniques were unsafe, but said further research was still necessary.
Critics, however, slammed the decision as a breach of ethics, saying there were already safe methods like egg donation to allow people to have children without mitochondria defects.
Britain's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority began a public discussion of the topic at the government's request last year.
"Although some people have concerns about the safety of these techniques, we found that they trust the scientific experts and the regulator to know when it is appropriate to make them available to patients," Lisa Jardine, chair of the group, said in a statement Wednesday.
British law forbids altering a human egg or an embryo before transferring it into a woman, so such treatments are currently only allowed for research. The regulator will now pass its findings to the government, which would need Parliamentary permission to change the law.
Similar research is going on in the U.S., where the embryos are not being used to produce children.
About one in 200 children every year in Britain is born with a mitochondrial disorder, faults in a cell's energy source that are contained outside the nucleus in a normal female egg. Mistakes in the mitochondria's genetic code can result in serious diseases such as muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, heart problems and mental retardation.
When a method to avoid these faults was first successfully used in 2008, headlines announced that scientists had created a child with three parents - two biological mothers and a father. But scientists said that was inaccurate, since there are only trace bits of genetic material from one woman.
There are two procedures to avoid passing on faulty mitochondria. The first involves using an egg from one woman with mitochondrial defects and the sperm of the father. Scientists then put that embryo into an emptied egg from a second woman with healthy mitochondria. The DNA from the second woman amounts to less than 1 percent of the embryo's genes.
In the second technique, scientists transfer nuclear DNA out of a day-old embryo with defective mitochondria. The DNA is implanted into another single-cell embryo with normal mitochondria. The nuclear DNA from the donor embryo is discarded, leaving the healthy mitochondria.
Experts say the new techniques would likely only be used in about a dozen U.K. women every year.
David King, director of Human Genetics Alert, called the HFEA recommendations "a travesty of basic medical ethics." His group is a secular organization that opposes many genetics and fertilization experiments.
Others, however, called it progress for those with mitochondrial diseases.
"This technique does involve a step into new scientific territory," said Marita Polschmidt, director of research at the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign. "But it is a calculated, specific step with the sole aim of preventing a potentially fatal condition from being passed down to the next generation."

Decisions about entry modes for telecom companies into digital music business: An empirical case study
AbstractThe digital music market offers an opportunity for telecom companies to furnish value-added services. However, little effort has been made to study empirically how to make a decision about entry modes for telecom companies into digital music business. This study therefore investigates various strategies that telecom companies may implement to enter the digital music industry. The results of a series of expert surveys reveal that the preference ranking of entry modes is acquisition, joint venture, and contractual agreement, respectively. Moreover, the leading key factors in selecting entry modes are complementary capabilities, hostility of environment, relational risk between firms as partners, commitment of resources, and availability of expertise. Furthermore, an importance-performance analysis was conducted to understand the different aspects that are of different performances and importance in each entry mode. The implications of the findings are also discussed. --

(Editor's Note: With April 10-16 being National Volunteer Week, this is part two of a four-part series about the importance of volunteers in certain organizations throughout the community.)
There are two local non-profit organizations that depend on the help of volunteers in order to continue having an impact in the community.
United Way and HutchCares find having volunteers a very critical part of their non-profit organizations.
Kim Cook, the director for HutchCares, said that the organization "would have nothing if it weren't for the volunteers."
Earlier this year Alan Jones, of Fuzzy's Radiator Service, approached the Borger Economic Development Board to see what kind of assistance the EDC could provide as the company looked into expanding their heat exchanger process at their facilities located on the south side of Borger near Highway 207.
After looking at the project and taking time for discussion on the project, on Tuesday the EDC Board approved an incentive agreement with Fuzzy's Radiator that will grant the company an investment of $700,000 over a five year period during their regularly scheduled April meeting.
After too many close games of coming out on the losing end the past couple of years, the Borger Bulldogs snapped a losing streak to Perryton Rangers that dated back to 2007 by continuing to flex their muscles in hitting four homeruns on their way to a 11-5 win at Huber Park on Tuesday evening.
To say the Bulldog bats have been hot lately could be considered an understatement as the team has sent 13 balls over the fence in their past three district contests.
Over the past two weeks, the Borger Lady Bulldogs have done a good job of playing well in District 1-3A play, winning two of their last three going into yesterday.
The solid play continued as Borger was able to get the big win over the Perryton Rangerettes, 12-6, to improve to 18-15 overall while sitting alone in second place in the District 1-3A standings with a 3-3 mark.
The whole team did a good job at the plate on Tuesday evening that included an inside-the-park homerun by senior Brittany Thomas.
West Texas High sophomore Nathan Forrest finshed in second place overall in the District 7-1A Tournament shooting a two round total of 77-79-156.
The West Texas High boys finished the tournament in third place overall with a team score of 780 finishing behind Canadian, who had two teams take first and second place.
Forrest will next compete in the 1A Region I Tournament in Lubbock starting on Monday.
The Borger ISD board of trustees will be considering action on two new hires during its upcoming meeting this Thursday.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 14, 2011, in the board conference room of the Borger ISD Administration Building, 200 East Ninth.
The board will consider employment of a new high school principal and a new varsity basketball coach.
(Editor's Note: With April 10-16 being National Volunteer Week, this is part one of a four-part series about the importance of volunteers in certain organizations throughout the community.)
With this week being designated as National Volunteer Week, there are a variety of local organizations that relay on volunteers to keep their organizations running successfully, a couple of them being the Hutchinson County Museum and Borger Healthcare Center.
Wes Phillips, Director of the Hutchinson County Museum, said, "Our volunteers are very critical and we couldn't make it without them."

Good looking table. I've had my eye on the Green Egg for quite some time. I agree, building your own table is the way to go. Let me know what you think of your "Egg".

Nice table and one that I will build one day for my smoker-grill although we don't have the Big Green Egg, we have the similar Bubba Keg that we bought at Home Depot for about half of the BGE. One of the expensive aspects of the BGE is the thick ceramic it is made of whereas the Bubba Keg Grill is made of insulated steel. I have had it at 800 degrees and I could comfortably put my hand on the lower outside of the grill so it is very well insulated. The BGE is a great grill based on everything I have read but my family loves the Bubba Keg Grill and use it much more than our previous gas grill and with many more varied foods.
#15 posted 1492 days ago
The BGE is about 2" thick, made out of heat resistant ceramics, it insulates well that as long as you are not touching the wood it wont catch on fire, which is why he put a patio brick under neath. I have seen many tables where they were touching, when the BGE is removed the wood is a little discolored, but they never caught on fire.

SAP AG, the largest maker of business-management software, is speeding up its software to attract more customers to its Hana database, which competes against Oracle Corp. products.
SAP AG's Bill McDermott, who became the German company's sole chief executive officer today, is counting on the leadership change to speed decision-making at the software maker trying to accelerate growth.
SAP AG, the biggest maker of business applications, is planning its first widespread job cuts in more than four years as the company shifts to delivering more software online.
SAP AG veteran Bernd Leukert, thrust into the role of development chief this month after the surprise departure of Vishal Sikka, says the German software giant's products should resemble those of toymaker Lego AS.
SAP AG's longtime technology head Vishal Sikka is leaving as Bill McDermott reorganizes the management team ahead of his ascension to sole chief executive officer of the largest maker of business-management software.
As software maker SAP AG expands in emerging markets from Beijing to Buenos Aires, managers are also focusing their attention on a place they have sometimes neglected: the company's home country of Germany.
European stocks fell, following a third week of gains for the region's equities, as violence intensified in eastern Ukraine, while a report showed Chinese manufacturing contracted for a fourth month.
SAP AG, the largest maker of business-management software, is finding it hard to please investors as a sales boost from its shift to online programs is being muted by a slowdown for older products and a strong euro.

SAP AG will end its dual chief executive officer structure next year, with Bill McDermott becoming sole leader as the largest maker of business-management software battles intensifying competition amid a shift in demand to Internet-based applications.

Sutter EHR crashed Monday
Sacramento Business Journal, August 28, 2013
At about 8 a.m. Monday, the electronic health record system at seven East Bay hospitals, medical offices and clinics went dark. The meltdown continued through late afternoon or early evening, according to early reports from the California Nurses Association. The incident left doctors and nurses without access to patient information — including medications and patient histories — at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center facilities in Berkeley and Oakland, Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, Mills Peninsula Health Services in Burlingame and San Mateo, Sutter Delta in Antioch, Sutter Tracy, Sutter Modesto and affiliated doctor's offices and clinics.

An abstracts system that reviewers and submitters love to use
We broke down the call for abstracts into three stages. First, your event's potential speakers submit their documents.
Second, your organization's reviewers evaluate the submissions based on your organization's criteria.
Forget about manually entering call for conference abstracts data into spreadsheets, sending a thousand emails, and filling your desk with a million sticky notes. Everything submitted to the Abstract Scorecard is collected and stored on our secure servers, in the cloud. You have instant access to the system anytime, anywhere.
Grant Selection
Award Selection
CadmiumCD's Abstract Scorecard is an easy-to-use conference abstracts collection software with three distinct stages. The Abstract Scorecard simplifies the conference abstracts submission process for potential speakers, creates an organized and easy way for reviewers to evaluate the submissions, and generates comparisons based on your organization's criteria that make selecting the final manuscripts easy.
We know you don't just do conference abstracts. That's why the Abstract Scorecard is customizable. Collect, review, and select a variety of data the way you think is best. The most popular options beside calls for papers are award selections, grant applications, and poster collections. Get in touch to find out how the Abstract Scorecard can work with your specific needs.
The Abstract Scorecard is only step one in the world's most powerful meeting management system. Anything you collect in the Scorecard can be integrated with the Conference Harvester® speaker & exhibitor management tool, as well as CadmiumCD's eventScribe® event technology. Get in touch to find out about all our products and how they'll work for your total conference experience.
CadmiumCD created the Abstract Scorecard to help event planners manage the submission, review, selection, and scheduling process for conference abstracts, awards, and grants. The Abstract Scorecard will allow you to toss spreadsheets aside and make managing your conference abstracts a breeze.
Great approach. Great tool. Effecitive way to move through the first round of all the great program ideas. Thanks!
WOW. Very nice format. Easy to see where i was at in the process. Standard layout of the proposal was helpful. Objectively driven questions for assessment. Would have helped to have the conference themes re-listed on the side. The binary 0-1 was hard, too. If they met it at all, i graded as a 1. Would have put the takeaways at the end...we don't know what those will be until after we read the body of work. it was a little distracting. i kept reading past them and then going back to the top.
This tool is an excellent evolution for the Excel spreadsheets we have used in past reviews.

The Secret to Fewer Post-operative Deep-Vein Blood Clots
Prevention program leads to an 84% drop in the rate of DVT.
Published: June 2, 2014
In what could be a model for other surgical facilities, a coordinated, multi-faceted, 2-year effort to reduce blood clots at Boston (Mass.) Medical Center succeeded in reducing deep venous thromboses (DVT) by 84% and pulmonary emboli by 55%, the American College of Surgeons reports.
Along with urging patients to walk 3 times a day, including on the day of surgery, if possible, the program incorporated an analysis of risk factors such as age, obesity, smoking, bed confinement, personal and family history, and length of operation.
Along with the need for early mobilization, electronic physician orders specified a requirement to score patient risk, to provide appropriate preventive treatment based on risk scores and, for high-risk patients, continuing treatment once patients were home. Risk-based prophylaxis included inflatable pressure boots and low doses of blood thinners. Patients were also educated about the importance of preventing blood clots.
Comparing the 2 years before the program was implemented with the 2 years that followed, the frequency of DVT declined from 1.9% of 1,569 patients to 0.3% of 1,323 patients, and the frequency of pulmonary emboli dropped from 1.1% of 1,569 patients to 0.5% of 1,323 patients.

This discussion/writing-style course is to explore contemporary films of Asia, focusing on India, China (Taiwan & Hong Kong), & Japan. The films serve as a window of global understanding in culture. Through assigned films, political, social, literary and visual aspects of these nations will be stressed in this course. Mini-lectures will be also provided occasionally to prepare the students in understanding the historical and cultural references in the contexts of contemporary Asian films. For writing assignments, each student is encouraged to self-express and self-identify through viewing the films and sophisticate responses in their writings/reports/critics of the films. The class is divided into 2 components: film viewing and discussion/lectures.

Book Description:
National BestsellerOne of the Best Books of the Year:New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Boston Globe, and Time An instant classic of war reporting, The Forever War is the definitive account of America's conflict with Islamic fundamentalism and a searing exploration of its human costs. Through the eyes of Filkins, a foreign correspondent for the New York Times, we witness the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, the aftermath of the attack on New York on September 11th, and the American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Filkins is the only American journalist to have reported on all these events, and his experiences are conveyed in a riveting narrative filled with unforgettable characters and astonishing scenes. Brilliant and fearless, The Forever War is not just about America's wars after 9/11, but about the nature of war itself.

Electric talent dealing with multiple injuries Brad Biggs
Devin Hester didn't play a single down on offense last week but did handle his share of returns on special teams for the Chicago Bears.
There is a chance Hester will be held out of the offensive package or limited again Sunday when the team plays at Oakland. He's dealing with a painful shin injury and has also been hobbled recently by a sprained ankle. He's got a couple of minor injuries going on and the Bears want to get him healthy soon but don't want to miss his explosiveness in the return game.
"It's something that I've got to kind of deal with until I get better," Hester said. "It's just real sore. Other than that, it's kind of like a nagging injury."
He doesn't believe he will be sidelined against the Raiders. Two weeks ago, Hester did not practice because of an ankle sprain and then played against the Detroit Lions and had an 82-yard punt return for a touchdown. He was held out of practices Thursday and Friday.
"I want to get a lot of rest on it and hopefully be ready for the game," he said.
For the Bears, the trio of Johnny Knox, Earl Bennett and Roy Williams played well last week. So there isn't a need to rush Hester back on offense where he hasn't put up big numbers.

One last night in Italy
Today was time for Tim to go back home and for us to carry on moving but as we didn't have to be out of the campsite until one we weren't in much of a hurry. Tim and Ruby finished working on the song that was with yesterday's blog and we got a bit of the van organised. It was a hot morning so we decided a swim was in order and on the way we bumped into Mrs Roger (never did catch her name) who was one half of the kiwi couple who we saw ...

Only 47 to go. The road had numerous turns in it but only the 180 turns were counted in the switchback count. We watched these signs countdown like hawks but the problem was by the time we reached the following sign we'd forgotten the previous number.

My comic shop has a perfect set up to draw in the comic movie crowd. Inside the theater they have a display case featuring comics from the most current movie and a sign describing that you can enter a raffle for trades. To enter the raffle you have to go to the comic shop, which is walking distance from the theater, and give them your ticket stub. The guardians prizes included trades from Bendis, DnA and Valentino. I think it's perfect because it involves potential free comics and you have to go into the shop to enter. They do this for pretty much every superhero comic movie and some non superhero ones.
How many red lanterns, new guardians, or sinestro books have crossed over in the last 6 months? The "constant crossover" perception is fueled by the two most popular books just finishing out a big story, and the actual crossover was in the last 3 months, so I wish that would get cleared up by the podcasters. I don't mind crossovers of some sort every other arc, but they should just be shorter. (doomed is a perfect example of a solid idea that got stretched out too long.)

I think a lot of people have a problem with the term "fun" is because it's so subjective. I mean for instance I don't find Deadpool or current Daredevil fun at all, I just find them annoying. But I do find books like Immortal Iron Fist, Bendis Daredevil and Moon Knight really fun.

The horribly grating and ill conceived "Fifty Sue" character aside, I'm actually enjoying Future's End lately. Mister Miracle's plots and plans, the Brainiac reveal and now with the developments of this last issue, I'm interested to see where the story is going.
I love Eternal one thing I would like to point put is the first trade actually being 20 issues makes sense. Last issue 3 of the 4 major plot lines where wrapped up the only one that wasn't was Stephanie Brown.
There were a few minor ones as well like Blue Bird and Red Robin and Julia and Alfred but otherwise the first trade is going to be a dam good read.

Strong Storms Pound West Michigan, More Coming [Video]
Extremely strong thunderstorms ripped through portions of West Michigan on Saturday, leaving some pretty significant damage.

Oh. My Goodness. The concerts coming to Frederik Meijer Gardens in 2014 are amazing.
In the past few months, we've heard of a few of the acts, but this morning, the Gardens announced their full lineup. Gavin DeGraw, O.A.R, CAKE, Counting Crows, the Barenaked Ladies and more will be making their way to Grand Rapids in the coming months. Here's the full lineup:
Ron is trying to achieve his goal of becoming an amateur boxer, jumping into the ring for the first time at age 43. Jordan is his trainer, and in case you haven't heard, a pretty good boxer in his own right.
The Kalamazoo County Sheriff held a news conference Wednesday morning on further developments in the case of missing Kalamazoo doctor Teleka Patrick.
The Indiana State Police have confirmed that the body found in Lake Charles on Sunday is that of the missing Kalamazoo woman.
Over 7,000 people packed into Fifth Third Ballpark--including the entire WFGR Airstaff--to watch the 'Caps win and rededicate the ballpark. After the fire that destroyed 20% of the suites happened in January, no one was quite sure if the park could host baseball in April.
A 20-year-old Irons man was sentenced this afternoon to life in prison for killing Michigan State Trooper Paul Butterfield during a September 2013 traffic stop.
Eric Knysz received a life term from Mason Circuit Court Judge Richard Cooper, The Ludington Daily News reported.
Rosalynn Carter can readily identify with Betty Ford.
They served as first ladies at The White House in back-to-back terms in the 1970s.
Today, Carter, the wife of former President Jimmy Carter, is in Grand Rapids in honor of the 96th birthday of the late Ford, the spouse of former President Gerald Ford.
In honor of the West Michigan Whitecaps' home opener tonight, I dug up my five favorite moments from baseball movies. Two of which feature Kevin Costner.
Beer and baseball are two of my favorite things (especially when enjoyed together!) and tonight is the home opener for the West Michigan Whitecaps.
First pitch is at 6:35 p.m. against the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.
This is the first game since the fire that destroyed part of Fifth Third Ballpark in January.
As it's the 20th Whitecaps home opener tonight, let's go back 5 more years, to 1989. The elder Bush was President, we didn't have to eat broccoli, and the World Series was interrupted by the San Francisco earthquake. And a little baseball movie was released on April 7.
Following the fire in January that devastated many in West Michigan and left Fifth/Third Ballpark in a state that had many of us wondering if Opening Day would happen on time, the West Michigan Whitecaps have been hard at work rebuilding their home.
Opening Day for the Whitecaps at Fifth/Third Ballpark in Comstock Park is Tuesday, and West Michiganders are eagerly awaiting their first look at the revamped ballpark. I managed to get some sneak peek photos of the rebuild courtesy of my boyfriend (he's been on the crew rebuilding the park).
Check out the progress after the jump!
The West Michigan Whitecaps open up their 20th season Tuesday, and I'm totally stealing this from Matt Milhouse at our sister station 100.5 The River.
It's a time-lapse view of the rebuilding at Fifth Third ballpark.

My granddaughter told us she needed a daddy horse for her other smaller stuffed horses. I immediately googled "large stuffed horse" which gave me many options. I looked at a few websites and found what I wanted but the price was awful. I continued to nextag and found Wayfair which had the best price, selection, and user friendly site. I ordered the product and within 3 days had the merchandise. The product was exactly as described and the quality was excellent. I have one very happy granddaughter. I will shop here again and again.
Beautiful quality and value!

I really liked this shot when I saw it, but thought a more square crop would suit it. Also, it is a bit dark on my screen, especially in the lower section.
I chose to not sharpen the images as I like the way it looks now - more a feeling of a regular film capture.
I use NIK software for a lot of my work. Did selective lightening of the clothing area with Viveza 2 and then applied soft as well as regular contrast to show a bit more detail. Finally a sepia toning to give it a more ageless look. The second mod is vignetted.

SB Nation is four blogs closer to conquering the entire planet. Bow before you benevolent rulers, for those who do not possess an SB Nation blog are not worthy and must be cast into the shadows, where no one will ever ask them what their opinions on sports are. Nay, these non-blog heathens are truly the filth of the Earth, for to not have an SB Nation blog is tantamount to not existing. Oh, a humanity where non-SBN bloggers run amuck is indeed a treacherous one, and those who wish to achieve salvation have but one hope of redemption: to join SB Nation.
In layman's terms, SB Nation now has a gargantuan amount of blogs, and since I can only list one link at a time with a FanShot, I'm writing this FanPost to promote the three newcomers to the SBN family (along with We Ain't Go No History and Cowboys Ride For Free):

Enterprise Zones and Job Creation: Linking Evaluation and Practice
AbstractAlthough enterprise zones have been a popular economic development tool for several years, there is still a lack of evidence on both zone effectiveness and how to improve existing zone programs. This article discusses several evaluation criteria that should be given more attention. First, the article addresses methodological issues in assessing zone benefits, including the importance of comparing places that received zones with a suitably chosen control group of places that did not get zones. Second, the data requirements for enterprise zone evaluation are examined. The link between evaluation and practice is discussed. Zone evaluations must address not only efficiency criteria such as the measurement of benefits and costs but also the question of how to improve the functioning of existing zones. The conclusion is that zone evaluations should pay closer attention to research methodology and strive to document program implementation information that can improve the practice of enterprise zones.
