Recently this place has been about as chipper as a cancer ward with more drama than a day time soap opera. It's hard to look on the bright side when you get your ass handed to you with all the trimmings, but it could always be worse. I've been inspired by this loss to put up my first (and quite possibly only) sober post! I'm going to make myself feel better by doing what I always do. Laughing at other people's misfortunes! Feel free to read and partake.
Hold on, I'm gonna grab a beer before the jump....
Lets keep it close to home for this first one.
We could be the Chiefs: Seriously. They went 7-1 at home last year and looked like a solid team and I dare say had even higher hopes than we did coming into the season. Especially since they were playing the supposedly weak Buffalo Bills (I believe I relegated them to the Andrew Luck Suck Bowl with Cincy and Carolina). Raise your hand if you saw them getting completely and utterly dominated 41-7? Now put your hands down you lying sacks of crap. I bet you knew Tom Brady was going to throw for 500+ yards tonight too. The Chiefs and their fans were embarrassed at home by a team that is supposed to be no good. They also received a cold hard reminder right in the first game of the season that Matt Cassel does not have the ability to put the team on his back when they need it. At least we got trounced by the uber talented Eagles, and if not for Sam Bradford's fumble touchdown, we would have been tied 10-10 at half time. Lets not talk about that second half.
We could be the Steelers: Another ass whooping, and I'm pretty sure Pittsburgh was favored to win this one. What's worse than losing to a bitter rival? Having your bitter rival mop the floor with your for 4 quarters on the way to your worse loss to said rivals in the history of your franchise. Big Ben looked like garbage. Ray Rice (the little runningback that could!) made that vaunted Steelers D look like swiss cheese and Joe Flacco looked like an all pro against them. It sucks getting stomped out by the Eagles, but at least it wasn't the 9ers or Seahawks. If that happens, I'll be crawling into a large bottle of whiskey.
We could be the Cowboys: Yea they were close, and they dominated for three quarters, but that 4th quarter melt down just gave everyone in Texas a horrifying reminder of just what Romo has been bringing to the table since he was promoted to the starting job for Dallas. The Dallas cowboys had never lost a game in franchise history when leading by 14 in the 4th quarter. Welcome to the era of Romo. They may have enjoyed 3 quarters of good play, but watching your team completely fall apart when it counted most has to sting soooo much worse than a blowout by a favored team. At least that's what it seemed like when I was watching the game with my Cowboys friends. My buddy Joe was screaming, and locked himself in his room.... and I swear I heard the faint whisper of weeping from behind the locked door.
We could be Atlanta: With the addition of Julio Jones to lineup across from Roddy White, and big Mike Turner still lining up behind Matt Ryan, most people believed this offense was going to be high powered. Did I mention they still have Tony Gonzalez? You bet your ass he still has something left in the tank. Then sunday rolled around, and the Bears defense gave them a savage beating. It was like watching Manny Pacquiao go 10 rounds with a girl scout. I'm sure the Falcons will bounce back and I bet they are still going to make the playoffs, but this week was a big blow to their pride. They were served a nice big helping of humble pie.
When all is said and done, I would still give my left nut for any 1 of these teams starting receivers, but as disappointing and painful as this weeks loss was, look on the bright side: The Eagles have elite talent on both sides of the ball, and the only reason we were blown out is because of drops and stupid mistakes that can be fixed. Now if we get blown out by the Giants next week..... Shit my pants factor: 10/10

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is giving Japanese striking sensation Takanori Gomi a chance to exact revenge on Nick Diaz for his weedoplata at PRIDE 33 back in 2007.
Well, sort of.
Gomi will square off against little brother Nate at the upcoming UFC 135: "Jones vs. Rampage" event this Saturday night (Sept. 24) in Denver, Colorado, exactly four years and seven months to the day that he got inside the ring and went toe-to-toe against the elder Diaz.
And the oddsmakers don't like his chances.
"The Fireball Kid" is a +190 underdog heading into "Mile High City," while Diaz enjoys a -250 betting line, the first time he's been the odds-on pick to win since UFC 118 back in Auagust 2010.
Diaz is making his return to the land of the lightweights after finding moderate success at 170-pounds. The lean and lanky boxer found it difficult to compete with the grappling beasts patrolling the welterweight waters.
Ironically enough, it was that exact reason he initially made the jump up in weight, as he had lost three of his last four contests at 155-pounds.
Clay Guida, Joe Stevenson and Gray Maynard all largely had their way with him.
Of course, Diaz is always good for an interesting style match-up and that's exactly what Gomi represents. And with the bad blood between both camps, we may very well be in for a good old-fashioned passionate ass-whooping.
But who will be on the receiving end of it? Anyone like Gomi in the upset? Or is he too submission prone?
Let's hear your play.

Physicians for Human RightsUsing science and medicine to stop human rights violations
For Immediate Release
PHR Cautiously Welcomes UN Security Council Authorization for Peacekeepers in Darfur
Sudan Should Not Be Allowed to Delay Rapid Deployment of Force
Cambridge, Mass - 09/01/2006
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) cautiously welcomes the passage of UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1706, which calls for the deployment of up to 20,500 peacekeepers to Darfur. Though the Resolution 'invites the consent' of the Sudanese Government, serious international pressure should now be exerted on Khartoum so that the forces can deploy as soon as possible. Operating under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, the force authorized yesterday by the UNSC has full power do whatever necessary to "maintain international peace and security."
Not only has the Sudanese Government announced its opposition to the UN force's deployment, it is also right now amassing troops and materiel in northern Darfur. Recent news reports state that they have now begun a military offensive on rebel groups that did not sign the Darfur Peace Agreement. PHR condemns this clear continuation of the GOS' aggression against the people of Darfur.
"Failure by the international community to prevent Sudan from obstructing the deployment of the UN force will make a mockery of the will of the UN Security Council and hasten the total collapse of humanitarian operations that thousands rely on for their basic survival," stated Susannah Sirkin, Deputy Director of PHR, who recently returned from Darfur. "As recent attacks in north Darfur by the Government of Sudan show, Khartoum will continue its campaign of violence for as long as it believes it can get away with it."
The Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA), which was signed in May by the Government of Sudan and the rebel faction led by Minni Minnawi , has so far been repeatedly violated by both parties without serious consequences from the international community, including attacks on civilians and rape of women. PHR is urgently calling on the UNSC to ensure that the GOS and Minni Minnawi's faction adhere to their obligations under the DPA.
"For the Darfur Peace Agreement to be more than just a piece of paper, the international community must start pressuring both parties to make good on the promises they made almost four months ago in Abuja," said Sirkin.
In addition, it is vital that the concerns over security and compensation for enormous losses, which have prevented the other rebel groups from joining the peace agreement, be addressed as a matter of the utmost priority.
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is an independent organization that uses medicine and science to stop mass atrocities and severe human rights violations. We are supported by the expertise and passion of health professionals and concerned citizens alike.
Since 1986, PHR has conducted investigations in more than 40 countries around the world, including Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, the United States, the former Yugoslavia, and Zimbabwe.

The MGM Grand Las Vegas is a hotel casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The MGM Grand is the second largest hotel in the world by number of rooms and the largest hotel resort complex in the United States, ahead of The Venetian.[1] When it opened in 1993, the MGM Grand was the largest hotel in the world.
Owned and operated by MGM Resorts International, the 30-floor main building is 293 ft (89 m) high. The property includes five outdoor pools, rivers, and waterfalls that cover 6.6 acres (2.7 ha),[2] a 380,000 sq ft (35,000 m2) convention center, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and the Grand Spa. It also houses numerous shops, night clubs, restaurants and the largest casino in Clark County, which occupies 171,500 sq ft (15,930 m2).
Located on the Tropicana - Las Vegas Boulevard intersection, pedestrians are not allowed to cross at street level. Instead, the MGM Grand is linked by overhead pedestrian bridges to its neighboring casinos: to the south across Tropicana Avenue, the Tropicana, and to the west across the Strip, New York-New York.
Marina Hotel[edit]
The Marina Hotel, located at 3805 Las Vegas Boulevard, opened in 1975 as a 714-room hotel and casino. In 1989, Kirk Kerkorian bought the Marina Hotel and the Tropicana Country Club to obtain the site that would become the home of the MGM Grand. During that time, the Marina was known as the MGM-Marina Hotel.[3][4][5]
The Marina closed on November 30, 1990, and ground was broken for the new casino hotel complex on October 7, 1991. The Marina hotel building still exists as the western end of the main hotel building.[3][4]

When the latest MGM Grand opened on December 18, 1993, it was owned by MGM Grand Inc. At that time it had an extensive Wizard of Oz theme, including the green "Emerald City" color of the building and the decorative use of Wizard of Oz memorabilia. After entering the casino's main entrance, one would find themselves in the Oz Casino facing Emerald City. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion were seen in front of the city. The Emerald City attraction featured an elaborate yellow brick road walk-through, complete with the cornfield, apple orchard, and haunted forest, as well as audio-animatronic figures of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Wicked Witch of the West. It would end at the door of the city, leading inside for a performance of "The Wizard's Secrets". When MGM Grand began its extensive refurbishment in 1996, the Oz Casino was the first to go. The Emerald City was completely demolished, and the Emerald City Gift Shop was moved to a new shopping section of the casino. The store remained open until early 2003.
Originally, the main entrance on the Strip was inside the mouth of a giant cartoon-like version of MGM's logo, Leo the Lion, but this entrance feature was changed to a more traditional entrance. In 1998, a large bronze statue of Leo was added above the entrance to keep with the MGM Lion theme, while not scaring away guests. The statue weighs 50 tons, and at 45 feet (14 m) tall, on a 25-foot pedestal, is the largest bronze statue in the U.S.[6]
When the MGM Grand opened, the intention was to create the first true destination hotel in the Las Vegas area by including the MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park behind the casino. The plan was to make the Las Vegas Strip more family friendly by providing activities for those too young to linger inside the casino. The theme park performed poorly and did not reopen for the 2001 season. On December 5, 2002, MGM Resorts International (then named MGM Mirage) announced that the former theme park would be developed as a luxury condominium and hotel complex called The Signature at MGM Grand.
The Las Vegas Monorail was built to connect MGM Grand to Bally's in 1995. The coming-out party for the monorail, on behalf of Bally's, consisted of showgirls and guys from Bally's famed show, Jubilee!, helping groups to the monorail. Characters from the Wizard of Oz greeted the groups on the MGM side. The track was later updated to become the southernmost section of the Las Vegas Monorail. The station was refurbished, the trains were replaced with Bombardier M-VI's, and the track was extended beyond the southern station to provide for track switching for the trains, as well as a starting point for a potential future southern extension to the monorail line.
In 2000, in an attempt to appeal to a more "mature" clientele, the hotel underwent a major renovation, and almost all traces of the Oz theme were removed. The theme is now more of the Art Deco era of classic Hollywood, and the hotel started billing itself as The City of Entertainment. More recently, the resort has used the phrase "Maximum Vegas", referring to the vast amount of activities MGM Grand offers its guests.
On April 26, 2000, MGM opened a new satellite registration/hotel check-in center at McCarran International Airport. This was the first of its kind opened by a hotel company at any United States airport.[7] However, this airport check-in center appears to have closed in late 2013.
In 2005, MGM opened the West Wing, a renovation of the original Marina Hotel rooms.
In October 2011, MGM began a renovation in which all of its rooms and suites in the main tower were fully renovated, along with the casino floor and other public areas. This has provided the hotel with a more contemporary room design. The work was completed in September 2012.
Film history[edit]
- The MGM Grand was featured prominently in the 1996 boxing comedy The Great White Hype.
- The MGM Grand was one of the casinos that Danny Ocean and his crew robbed in the 2001 film Ocean's Eleven. A staged unification match between heavyweight champions Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko was prominently featured in the film.
- Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and his family play a game of Keno in the final scenes of Vegas Vacation alongside a character played by Sid Caesar. Keno is no longer offered at the casino.
- The MGM Grand's Wizard of Oz theme is referenced in the 1996 film Swingers as the friend of the waitress that Trent picks up works as "a Dorothy".
- The MGM Grand, with its old entrance, was featured at the close of Casino as an example of the "new" Las Vegas.
- The MGM Grand was featured in The Amazing Race 15, and The Amazing Race 24
A parody of the MGM Grand was featured in the BMX video game Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2. Leo the Lion was replaced with dragons.
The MGM Grand was among many casinos at which the MIT Blackjack Team gambled in the book Bringing Down The House.
The MGM Grand is the home base of David Whele in Dominion.
- MGM Grand featured a glass-sided lion habitat inside the casino area, in which up to six lions were shown daily since 1999. A see-through tunnel ran through the habitat for close-up viewing, where the lions would frequently lounge on top of the glass, allowing visitors to walk under them. The lions were owned by Keith Evans, a trainer of exotic animals, and did not live at the habitat, but at his ranch 12 miles (19 km) outside Las Vegas.[6] The lion habitat closed permanently in February 2012 as part of MGM Grand's renovation.[8]
- CSI: The Experience opened in the Studio Walk in September 2009. Here, guests try to solve one of three murder cases interactively, guided by touchscreen stations, cast member videos, and realistic recreated evidence. The first stop is a debriefing room where Gil Grissom introduces the "new recruits" to their assigned cases. After observing the evidence at the crime scene, visitors go to lab areas where they analyze the gathered evidence. They then present their findings in Grissom's office, answering a test based on their analysis of the evidence. Finally, visitors receive a case summary and a CSI diploma.[9]
The MGM Grand has one of the largest gaming floors in all of Las Vegas, measuring 171,500 square feet (15,930 m2). There are more than 2,500 machines for gaming as well as 139 poker and table games.[10]
The slot machines at the MGM Grand range from 1¢ to $1,000 and include progressive slots, video poker, and multi-game machines. There is a special High Limit Slots area, featuring slot machines with payouts up to $500,000.
The race and sports book is a state of-the-art betting area that features thirty-six 60-inch plasma TVs, along with twenty-four 42-inch plasmas. Bets are offered on a range of sports including soccer, football, boxing, MMA and more. They are also the first room to offer what they call "SkyBoxes". These boxes can hold up to ten guests and come with beverage servers and complimentary food.[11]
The hotel rooms are located in several buildings including:
- The main hotel building, with 5,044 rooms (4,293 rooms and 751 suites)[6] including the SKYLOFTS at MGM Grand with 51 lofts located on the top two floors of the hotel building.
- The three The Signature at MGM Grand towers, each with 576 suites (designed by Bergman Walls Associates).
- The Mansion at MGM Grand with 29 villas.
It is one of the three[citation needed] large hotels in Las Vegas that has a 13th floor.[citation needed]
SKYLOFTS at the MGM Grand[edit]
|This article appears to be written like an advertisement. (May 2014)
SKYLOFTS occupies the top two floors of the MGM Grand's main building. While it operates independently of the main hotel, it is MGM Grand's luxury boutique hotel,[12] a AAA Five-Diamond Award hotel,[13] as well one of Forbes Travel Guide's Five-Star properties in 2009.[14] This made it one of 44 hotels in North America to achieve such rating. SKYLOFTS also received the Forbes Travel Guide's Five-Star Award in 2010, making it one of four Five-Star / Five-Diamond resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. SKYLOFTS is also independently a member of The Leading Small Hotels of the World. Amenities include in-loft check-in with a welcome beverage, daily evening pastries, unlimited complimentary bottled water, private elevators, complimentary Rolls Royce transportation to and from McCarren Airport, personal concierge and a private butler available around the clock, high-speed Internet, a large entertainment system extending throughout the loft, and a luxurious bathroom including an Infinity spa tub meant to overflow with a large-sized plasma directly ahead, a spacious "immersion chamber" consisting of a rain and steam shower, heated towel rack, and Bvlgari [sic] bath amenities. The main entertainment system, the bedroom entertainment system, the bathroom's in-mirror and bathtub TVs, lighting, sheers and drapes, temperature, "Do Not Disturb" & "Maid Service" controls, and volume can all be accessed and operated via universal remote controls and in-wall touch-screen controls. The entertainment system easily connects to any Bluetooth-capable device, as well.[15]
The Signature at MGM Grand[edit]
The Signature at MGM Grand is a condo hotel project by MGM Mirage and Turnberry Associates teamed up to build the first three Signature at the MGM Grand towers which are now open. A maximum of five towers will be constructed on the site. The 38-story, 475-foot (145 m) tall structures have 576 all-suite units each and were priced from $450,000 to more than $2.0 million. Signature is located on the property where the MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park once stood. Each tower has their own private pool with cabanas as well as access to MGM Grand pools. Additional guest/owner amenities at The Signature include a Starbucks, meeting rooms, exercise room, bar and restaurant.

For the past few weeks I have thought a lot about Theo's smile. Theo smiled easily and often and his smile sparkled in his eyes. It seems to me that when Theo smiled it wasn't just an expression of his own mood — it was something he purposefully gave to others.
As a niece, I have received smiles from Theo throughout my life: when I've been sad or brooding, anxious, even when I was already wearing my own. More than anyone I've known, a smile from Theo had an impact. Their effect lingers and, even when recalled much later, still has the potency to lift a mood.
For the past few weeks I have thought a lot about all the people across the globe who are carrying a memory of Theo's smile. Theo had a wealth of smiles and he gave them generously. There must be receptionists at hotels and taxi drivers and waiters and fellow passengers from airplanes and pedestrians from sidewalks all around the world who are carrying a memory of Theo and the smiles that he gave them. I imagine it as a photo of the Earth at night with all the little points of light.
The authentic, first-hand Theo smile is now a limited resource in our world. But I don't think that means Theo's life cannot continue to create new spots of light. I intend to take a lesson from Theo and start giving smiles with purpose. I hope you will join me.
While our individual smiles may not have the full power that Theo's did, I believe that, as a combined effort, we can continue the positive momentum he brought to the world.

Stockbox: The Shipping Container Oasis in Food Deserts
08 Jan, 2012
The term food desert describes a district in a city where fresh, healthy food cannot be found. It is estimated that 23 million people live in such areas. Since the nearest store is usually the corner bodega that carries packaged snacks, a variety of sodas and beer and a few highly processed food items, it is not surprising that diet-related illnesses soar in these food deserts. Two Seattle-area visionaries, fresh out of grad school, are implementing a food oasis—an "instant store" that is quickly set up and brings badly needed fresh food to these neighborhoods.
This solution is called Stockbox Grocers, and it is the brainchild of founder Jacqueline Gjurgevich and her business partner Carrie Ferrence. For Jacqueline, Stockbox came about as a bit of a life makeover. "Right after college graduation, I moved to Washington, DC," Jacqueline told Organic Connections. "I worked for Marriott International for nine years, and did sales, events and revenue management. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't super fulfilling; I just wanted to do more with my career than push revenue for a large multinational corporation."
With her fiancé at the time, Jacqueline moved to Seattle and began anew. "A couple years in, I discovered BGI [Bainbridge Graduate Institute] and met some amazing people," she said. "I was exposed to ideas that really appealed to me, and pushed me to discover what my right livelihood should be."
Jacqueline enrolled at BGI, and it was there that Stockbox had its beginnings. "Stockbox Grocers was originally a grad school project," Jacqueline recounted. "In our last year, we were tasked with creating an entrepreneurship enterprise that would show $1 million in triple-bottom-line revenue* within five years. Our team came together around the idea of wanting to improve food access. At first we looked at mobile food as an option, but there are a lot of limitations to that, and we wanted to build something permanent in a community. We basically took the wheels off a mobile food van and created Stockbox Grocers."
Stockbox Grocers is a miniature grocery store arranged inside a reclaimed shipping container—the sort you see being hoisted onto ships for long transport. The store offers essential grocery items and fresh produce.
In order to get a better idea of how they should operate, Jacqueline and Carrie set up their first prototype in the Delridge neighborhood of Seattle. "Our prototype store was in a mobile mini-office," Jacqueline recalled. "We didn't actually have a shipping container, but it was shipping-container-like in that it was eight by twenty feet, and we were able to pack it with over 300 different items."
In the eight weeks they operated the prototype, they learned a great deal. The first thing was how to convince a potential customer that this was a store and it would benefit them. "People really seemed to like the concept once they understood what it was," said Jacqueline. "It's not every day that you shop for groceries inside a place like that. We did our best to make it look like a nice retail space by putting signs on the outside that listed items that were in the store, and arranging things sensibly inside. We'd invite people in, even to just come and look. We had great feedback."
They also needed to be sensitive to the items they were stocking. "As far as inventory goes, we were able to respond to what customers were looking for," Jacqueline related. "We had a first round of inventory, and then just became flexible and adaptable to the requirements of the community."
The key element that Jacqueline and her partner learned, though, was the importance of making friends in the community. "My business partner and I were the two that worked in the store every day, so we were able to develop very close relationships with people," Jacqueline said. "Being in the parking lot of an apartment complex, you see the same people all the time coming and going from work, so it was nice to be able to create those relationships. We were able to swap recipe stories, help with suggestions for dinner and introduce people to food that they were maybe not always accustomed to. It's about building relationships on a very personal level, which you can't do in a large grocery store, and people were excited about that. Our target is to focus on women and families—to make a safe environment for people to shop in and just feel comfortable."
Of course, the source of food for the store is important. "For the prototype, we worked with a couple of distributors and suppliers that deal with independent grocery stores," Jacqueline continued. "Toward the end, we started working with a few local farms to get items like pears and apples and other seasonal fruit. Our mission is to expand into a more regionalized food system."
Now that the prototype is done, the interest has become keen from many quarters—and their first permanent installation is in the near future. "We've received attention from people all over the country identifying with our mission and what the Stockbox story is," Jacqueline reported. "They could visualize it in their community, whether it is in another urban environment or whether it's rural, or anywhere in between. People are asking for access to good food in their communities. Once we get the first permanent store on the ground and prove that our model really works, we're going to be able to deploy it throughout the nation. We don't want to just be in south Seattle; we want to be all over the country."
* triple bottom line—also known as "people, planet, profit" or the three pillars—is an expanded measure of business success that, in addition to straight financial profit, also takes into account the enterprise's treatment of labor and its benefit to the environment.

Crusades Medieval Sword Highlight of Auction
A sword from the Crusades is centrepiece at the Bonhams Antique Arms and Armor auction
A rare medieval sword taken from the Mamluk Arsenal at Alexandria during the last Crusade, in the second half of the 14th Century, is the top item in Bonhams sale of Antique Arms and Armor on November 28th in Knightsbridge. The sword is estimated to sell for £40,000 to £60,000.
The Italian-made sword was given as a gift to the Mamluk rulers of Alexandria by the Christian ruler of Cyprus and Jerusalem, King Peter I as part of a gift sealing a treaty. The sword was then forcibly taken back into Christian hands during the last Crusade's victory over the city of Alexandria. Consequently the sword symbolizes the history of the time when Christians and Muslims fought for dominance in the eastern Mediterranean.
King Peter I, the King of Cyprus and Jerusalem, launched the last Crusade in 1362 against the Muslim Mamluk Empire in the region. A fleet set out from Cyprus and proved victorious, taking the city of Alexandria with immense amounts of plunder returned to Cyprus, including this sword. Such was the treasure and weapons taken from the captured city that many of the overloaded ships had to jettison cargo.
David Williams, Head of Bonhams Antique Arms and Armor Department, revealed "The fascination of this sword is that it has survived some six centuries having been gifted by a Christian King to a Muslim ruler and kept in the famed Alexandrian armory and then taken by force by Crusaders and returned to Europe. It is a remarkable survivor of the Crusader period."
This historic sword was acquired by the late owner and arms collector, E.A. Christensen of Copenhagen, in exchange for a Swedish sword from Major John Lindgreen of Malmoe. Lindgreen had bought the sword at an unknown date from the dealer Lundgreen of Stockholm

A 34-year-old man was arrested after barricading himself inside a home near Missouri and 61st Avenue on Thursday. His wife and their four children were held against their will inside, according to police.
Marcus Grampton's wife has an order of protection against him, but according to a police report, he violated the order and showed up at her home. Their children, ages 5 to 11, were inside.
A police report revealed that Grampton called his wife's boyfriend from her home and told him to come over.
When he arrived, Grampton allegedly started a fist fight with him in the garage and showed a handgun.
Grampton's wife and children told police they were told by Grampton to not go anywhere or let police inside.
Both his wife and their 11-year-old son told officers they were afraid of Grampton, according to police report.
Grampton then allegedly barricaded himself inside a kitchen cabinet and refused police orders to come out.
After a three hour stand off, the SWAT Team was sent in and Grampton was arrested.
A police report states that during an interview, Grampton told them he had been invited over and denied not allowing anyone to leave the house. He claims he fell asleep in the house after fighting with the boyfriend and didn't wake up until he hard a robot from the SWAT Team.
Grampton was booked and faces charges of failure to comply with a court order, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, five counts of unlawful imprisonment and aggravated assault/violating a protection order.

This definition of technology encompasses what people usually think of when they hear the term, but it also includes other factors that impact the production process that are typically not thought of as under the heading of technology. For example, unusually good weather that increases an orange grower's crop yield is an increase in technology in an economic sense. Furthermore, government regulation that outlaws efficient yet pollution-heavy production processes is a decrease in technology from an economic standpoint.
Increases in technology make it more attractive to produce (since technology increases decrease per unit production costs), so increases in technology increase the quantity supplied of a product. On the other hand, decreases in technology make it less attractive to produce (since technology decreases increase per-unit costs), so decreases in technology decrease the quantity supplied of a product.

A boil water advisory issued for customers in the Mechanicsburg area could be lifted late this evening.
United Water Pennsylvania and the state Department of Environmental Protection Company said today that the system passed the first round of water quality testing.
The results of a second test sample are expected this evening.
United Water spokesman Robert Manbeck said that if the second test results are favorable, the advisory could be lifted tonight because all corrective actions, including fire hydrant flushing, were completed before the water quality tests were performed.
A DEP spokesman said yesterday that the boil water advisory could continue through Saturday morning, but Manbeck said that time frame was made before the company received the initial test results.
The advisory affects only United Water customers in Mechanicsburg and portions of Hampden, Silver Spring, Monroe, Monaghan, Lower Allen and Upper Allen townships.
Customers in Center Square and Grantham, including Messiah College, are not affected by the advisory because they are served by another water system.

Just kind of curious, thought it be fun to see what all you metal-heads out there are checkin' out this year. What album has "Blown" your mind?
For me It's the new Cradle of Filth album "Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder".
The Scarecrow by Avantasia gets my vote. Sammet did a wonderful job with the album, matched his Metal Opera efforts as well.

Those guiding Vermont's health care reform efforts say the state is leading the nation in setting up a new health insurance exchange.
Rate proposals for Vermont's exchange will be publicly released Monday, making the Green Mountain State the first to reach that milestone.
Employees of small companies will be required to purchase health insurance through the exchange beginning in October, with policies to take effect in January 2014.
Green Mountain Care Board Chairwoman Anya Rader-Wallack says the larger goal of a single-payer system also remains on track, but the form of the delivery system won't matter if costs skyrocket.
"If we can't get costs under control this won't be sustainable under any model. And so we take very seriously the challenge to get that done as quickly as possible, but also to get it done in a meaningful way," Rader-Wallack said.

3 Steps to a New Career
We Match You To Pre-Screened Local Draftsmen. Click Below to Start:
When you're ready for a new career, it's critical to survey all your employment options before you begin sending out resumes. An unfocused job search not only eats up more time than it should, it can lead you into interviewing for positions that are ill-suited for you. If career satisfaction is important to you, learn about what you should do before you decide on a new career path.
Evaluate Why You Want a New Career
For some people, the road to a new career follows a path that makes little sense in retrospect. It involves:
- Becoming upset with a boss, customer or aspect of the job
- Deciding you hate the job
- Putting out resumes on your favorite job search engine
- Interviewing for new career opportunities
- Accepting the first offer you receive.
Although that approach can work for some people, it often creates a cycle of job dissatisfaction because it promotes a reactionary attitude. Typically, the petty annoyances of a job or the people in the office are minor things that only appear dire during times of extreme stress.
Rather than making a hasty employment decision, allow yourself to calm down. Is your sudden disdain for your current job an emotional reaction to something or have you been unhappy? If you determine that your desire for a new career is genuine, you're ready to move to the next phase of the job search.
Seek Outside Advice about the Best New Career
This is still not the point in your new career hunt to send out resumes. Instead, visit with a career counselor or job coach about what career fields are most in demand. You may know you'd love building widgets every day, but there's little point in devoting serious time to a job search when the widget building market is already at the saturation point.
If possible, let your job search be a blank canvas and your natural skills the paint. Job counselors can provide personality tests and skill evaluations to determine what fields you fit into the best. While there's no rule that you can't take any job you want, it's satisfying to find a new career that feels made just for you.
Imagine Yourself in a New Career
Once you have a list of the jobs and industries that match your personality and ability level, spend a few days daydreaming about the possibilities. Can you picture yourself in one new career option over the others? Is more than one worth a closer look?
For each new career path, you may discover an experience or education gap. Your career counselor should be able to help you locate ways to fill those gaps. Now that you can picture yourself in the perfect new career and are taking steps to enhance your resume, you're ready to begin an effective job search.

Daemen College : Academics & Research : Division of Health & Human Services : Physician Assistant : What is a PA?
Physician Assistants are licensed health practitioners qualified by academic and clinical experience to practice medicine or deliver medical services with the supervision and direction of a licensed physician who is responsible for the performance of that Physician Assistant (PA). The Physician Assistant may be involved in providing health care services in a wide variety of medical care settings with the supervision, but not necessarily in the presence of a physician. The role of the Physician Assistant and his/her functions vary with his/her own individual capabilities and the specific needs of the employing physician or institution. The practice setting in which the PA works also varies according to the community in that he/she lives and practices.
Eighteen students from Saudi Arabi are participating in the Health Care Studies, Natural Science, Executive Leadership and Change, etc programs.

How shocked I was when my Goodreads account said I had read over 50 books in 2013! I often say that I'm a slow reader (compared to my bookish friends, anyway), but I guess I'm a determined reader! Just for fun, here are my books of 2013, broken into categories. I would provide links to all of them, but I'll just link to my Goodreads account.
Books for school/work:
- The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano by Sonia Manzano

Over the summer, I was commuting 4 hours in a week and often doing repetitive work, which left a lot of time for listening to audiobooks. I'm not sure I'll get the chance to listen to as many books in 2014.
The rare adult books:
- FINALLY finished Anna Karenina this year – I feel a little cheap counting that one, seeing as I was at least 3/4 finished already.

Narrow your search
The ultrabook-like HP Envy Sleekbook 6 is the sharpest-looking $599 laptop you're likely to find, although you'll pay a performance premium.
HP's Envy 4 is an attractive, affordable type of ultrabook with a basic but solid set of features, even if it lacks the speed of more expensive alternatives in our entry-level configuration. Your best bet is to pay more for a faster version, or consider the even more affordable larger-screened AMD Sleekbook 6 instead.
Pricing not available
The Parrot 3200 LS Color combines everything we like about previous Parrot devices--including a simple control interface and a great voice recognition system--with a striking color display. The result is an attractive, easy to use aftermarket hands-free calling device.
This easy-to-use Nikon is a good starter camera for the new digital photographer, but it lacks most manual controls more-experienced shooters demand, and both the memory card and the rechargeable batteries cost extra.
HP's entry in the growing tabletop PC field, the 20-inch Envy Rove 20, is a fun family PC, but it really should have a full 1080p display.
The HP Envy x2's capacity to be a full Windows 8 tablet or dock with a keyboard works as well as advertised, provided you're willing to live with slower performance at a high price. You're paying for style.
A bland effort, the HP Envy 23 has nothing to recommend it over other Windows 8 touch-screen all-in-ones.
The HP Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 is a good gateway to the Windows 8 experience with a responsive touch screen in a traditional laptop body.
HP's Envy line has always been a reliable high-end PC laptop line, and this new redesign adds some useful features, such as a volume wheel, while keeping the upscale look and feel.
Boasting a touch-screen display, an app store, and ePrint (a remote printing service), the HP Envy 100 features loads of innovation in a slickly designed chassis. We wouldn't buy this printer for its image quality, but the convenience of ePrint and the potential of the ePrintCenter app store earn the HP Envy 100 our recommendation.

Kiwis eye damage control - Gayle identified as bane of Black Caps
NEW Zealand wicketkeeper/batsman BJ Watling said his team is looking to limit the damage done by West Indies opener Christopher Gayle for the remainder of the five-match Digicel One-Day International (ODI) series.
The 32-year-old Gayle, back into the regional set-up after a 15-month absence due to a prolonged squabble with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), has terrorised the New Zealand bowling attack with match-winning knocks all series.
As the teams prepared to depart Jamaica for St Kitts to play the remaining 50-over matches, Watling said the team is thinking of "finding ways to beat the West Indies" and emphasised how crucial it is to dismiss the majestic left-hander early.
"If we can take a couple of the wickets at the start, get Gayle out and then put them under a bit of pressure, I think we got a chance.
"Obviously, if we can start better and get a couple early fellows and get Gayle out it would be bonus. If we can take Gayle out of the equation and make the other players bat, I think we have a good chance of putting them under some good pressure," he said after the Kiwis' 55-run loss at Sabina Park in the second ODI on Saturday.
Gayle scored 85 not out and 53 in the two Twenty20 (T20) matches in Florida and followed up with an unbeaten 63 and 125 in the opening ODI contests as the West Indies recorded comfortable wins against the visitors.
Said Watling: "We've looked at things in the last game and in the Twenty20s and we worked on a few plans there, but he (Gayle) is playing really well. He's in some good nick and he's striking the ball (well). We've got to find a way of getting him out of this groove of such; run him out or something."
Two objects of discontent for the Black Caps in those four encounters have been the inability of their inexperienced batting line-up to put together big totals and the lack of incisiveness from the bowlers.
The 27-year-old Watling, who has scored back-to-back half-centuries in the ODIs so far, said he saw improvements in both areas during the match on Saturday.
"We've improved a bit and the boys (bowlers) finished off the innings well with drying up the boundaries at the end there. The bowlers should gain confidence from how they finished.
"It was an improved batting effort by the guys. We had (Martin) Guptill getting some runs and then Kane (Williamson), but I'm just disappointed we didn't get closer and make a real game of it," he said, while acknowledging his own good form.
West Indies middle-order batsman Marlon Samuels, who notched his third career ODI ton with a sumptuous, unbeaten 101 on Saturday, said his team is not about to lift its foot off the accelerator.
"We're not taking anything for granted. We would like to continue this lovely run. We would like to go to St Kitts and seal the deal with a win to take the series," he said.
Samuels, 31, made light of suggestions that the current New Zealand bowling attack is a weak one.
"It only takes one ball to get you out. They say they are rebuilding, but we went through that process as well and now we are gelling as a team and looking a very strong unit. I'm not underestimating their bowling attack and even in the very end they bowled some good yorkers," he said.
The third ODI will be played at Basseterre, St Kitts tomorrow.
