The Virginia Tech football team bounced back from the loss at Pittsburgh to beat Bowling Green State University 37-7 Saturday at Lane Stadium.
Logan Thomas completed 11-of-26 passes for 144 yards, with 2 touchdowns and one interception.
The junior QB also carried the ball 15 times for 65 yards and a score.
After a scoreless 1st quarter, the Hokies found the endzone three times in the 2nd to blow the game open.
The Hokies (3-1, 1-0 ACC) ran for 246 yards as a team, though no player had more than 68 yards rushing.
Junior running back Tony Gregory says, "The offense, as a whole, we just planned on getting the running game going, and show we're Virginia Tech."
Virginia Tech will be back in action next Saturday against Cincinnati at FedEx Field in Washington D.C.

fantastic concert!!
Thank you again for bringing us a great show. It's allways different(saw you last on airwaves!! GREAT!!) and even on a festival you can give us the feeling of being alone in the crowd,drifting away by the music!!
With 12 musicians on stage, you make sure you give the public worth their money!!!
Great setting in the woods and a lake nearby.
This was my 5th Sigur Rós so you'd think I'm used to it by now. Well, I am not. I have tried so much to put into words what seeing Sigur Rós does to me, but I failed so I just gave up on that.
I cried, I was floating, I was ultimately happy. Thank you so much <3
Here you can find some pictures of the show in Holland.
erik & eddy, you're right, it was, once again an emotional blast, I'm already looking forward to the concert in Luxemburg in november (that will be my 5th sigur rós concert), thx a lot, I hope all of the musicians enjoyed the performance as much as we did.
This show made me fall in love with Sigur Ros. Thanks, guys.
I still get the chills when I look back…
It was magical.
I can't wait for the next time.

KYNETON'S recruiting for its return to the Bendigo Football League seniors this year is almost complete after the addition of WAFL swingman Kane Ransted.
Ransted joins the Tigers after playing the past eight years with Perth in the WAFL.
The 184cm 26-year-old played 71 senior games for Perth, kicking 80 goals, while he was used in defence by the Demons last year.
"He's a good-sized leading forward who has a good pair of hands and is a good kick," Kyneton coach Mark Adamson said on Wednesday.
"He has also played a bit in the backline, particularly last year, but he's predominantly a forward and that's where we'll look to play him."
Ransted joins Harrison Huntley as a key forward option for the Tigers.
"His record speaks for itself in playing eight years with Perth," Adamson said.
"You don't usually survive that long at a state-league level with the one club in the type of positions he has played unless he can play the game, so we're excited to have him."
Adamson is hopeful of picking up one more key position player for the Tigers, who have now signed 20 new players for this year.
"We'll probably end up with 21 or 22 new players, and then we've got the guys who have shown a lot of promise in the reserves and under-18s," Adamson said.
"We want some of those guys to be able to fill some spots for us this year, too."
The Tigers returned to the training track for the first time since Christmas on Wednesday night, with the club to meet Eaglehawk at home in round one.

Mazda is well advanced with a new-generation rotary engine which it intends to use in an all-new sports model.
Japanese insiders say it is most likely to power a two-door coupe built in the image of the most recent RX-7, the highly regarded version championed by the legendary "Koby" Kobayakawa, which went out of production in 2002.
The new car, likely to be called RX-9, will therefore not repeat the outgoing RX-8's convenient but complicated four-door coupe layout.
See Autocar's rendering of the Mazda RX-9
The RX-9 will share the major chassis components of the next generation MX-5 roadster, and should have a kerb weight around 1250kg, light for a car with 300-plus bhp on tap.
The engine, known as 16X and is believed to use an electric supercharger, is described as "quite a bit bigger" than the current 2.6-litre twin-rotor unit used in the 228 bhp RX-8.
It will be considerably more efficient than the RX-8 engine, however, which was discontinued earlier this year because its high fuel consumption and propensity to use oil prevented it from meeting the latest EuroV clean air standards.
Read Autocar's scoop on the next Mazda MX-5
Even so, the RX-8 has been a considerable success: Mazda UK began selling it in 2003, moving up to 10,000 units annually in the early years. The British RX-8 population is around 50,000 cars. Mazda is still deciding whether the 16X engine will be configured to run on pump petrol and sold in volume volume like the RX-8, or become a more symbolic clean-air project running purely on hydrogen.
Either way, Mazda is determined to continue its association with an engine type it considers to be iconic – and which it used to win Le Mans outright in 1991.

Kentucky got burned by the officials today, but that doesn't take away whatsoever from the outstanding play of the Georgia Bulldogs. Make no mistake, the Bulldogs made great plays down the stretch and a great play at the end with their best player fouled out. The officials once again swallowed their whistle at the end of the game and failed to call an obvious foul on Georgia on the baseline out of bounds. I complained about this yesterday when they failed to call an obvious foul on Tyler Smith right in front of the official, and in combination with this disaster, I think it is time for Gerald Boudreaux to resign as supervisor of officials. These no-calls are unquestionably happening under the direct instructions of Boudreaux. I have complained several times about Boudreax's bizarre and indefensible arguments for obviously wrong calls, and I am done arguing about it. Get out, Boudreax. You are bad for the league, and officiating in the SEC is at an all-time low.
But make no mistake, the officials did not cost us the game, poor shooting by the Wildcats and outstanding, hard-nosed basketball by Dennis Felton's Georgia Bulldogs did. Derek Jasper reverted to his old self, and only God knows why. Ramel Bradley, despite his heroics to get the team the last-second lead, played very poorly overall. Given the events of the past two days, I think the kids can be forgiven for not being 110%. They played hard, but the Cats made many defensive errors that ultimately cost them, and looked much more fatigued than normal. Despite their outstanding effort to get the lead at the end of OT, a miracle, challenged three by Zach Swansey ended the Cats' hopes of making a run in the SEC tournament. Somehow, I feel like the heavens themselves are determined to frustrate Kentucky's post season hopes. Truth be told, though, Georgia was facing exactly the same difficulties, so using the bizarre events of this weekend as an excuse simply sill not fly, and will not be made here.
So now we must wait and hope, and who knows what the ultimate outcome will be. I confess, I am extremely frustrated and angry at the outcome of this game for reasons already discussed, but I am proud of Kentucky for giving it their all. Once again, they left it all out there on the floor, but as we have discovered many times, prayers are frequently answered this time of year, and once again, they were answered for Kentucky's opponent. Having to win close, grind-it-out games is always fraught with the possibility of an untimely 3-pointer at the end of the game, and Kentucky has dodged that all year -- until now.
Tomorrow, we will know the fate of Kentucky vis-a-vis the NCAA tournament. But as Andy Glockner of ESPN said, this game now gives the NCAA an excuse to exclude the Wildcats. I don't think they will, but if it happens, I don't think anyone will be totally shocked. So for now, we are stuck with waiting and hoping. Maybe our prayers will be answered, but it is also possible that circumstances have conspired against us to the point of negating our hopes. I still think the Cats are in, but the selection committee will not be taking my opinion into consideration.

Comments about ddrum Trigger Kit:
More expensive that other triggers, but more rugged, more sensitive to velocity variations, universally applicable to all drums, easy to install. Requires balanced cable with XLR on one end and stereo 1/4" on the other which probably improves the quality but increases the cost per trigger used. Works great with my Alesis D4 module.

10 ways to celebrate Halloween in Lake Norman
by Staff Writer


text:
Now that the A's have lost 8 in a row, their 2B, 3/5 of their rotation, and demoted their everyday 3B, I think it's pretty safe to say that the future is here. Except that it's not... because the A's farm system isn't very good. In a way I'm relieved that the A's have the opportunity to sell any valuable assets they have because it really would've sucked for them to be 2 or 3 games out until September only to lose it at the end.
Believe me, I want a competitive team, but there's no way the A's were going to win the division. I would've said "There's no way the A's were going to win the division unless the Rangers lost their 2 best hitters" but... well... they lost their 2 best hitters for quite some time and the A's couldn't overtake them. And the Rangers have the farm-system strength to add pieces if they need to; whereas, the A's don't. So being that the A's didn't get a 3-5 game cushion on the Rangers when Hamilton and Cruz were out, the writing was on the wall.
So I started thinking about who the A's might trade and what they could get back. For the sake of comparison, I used MLB Trade Rumor's transaction search to see a list of all of the trades that took place between June 1, 2010 and August 1, 2010.
As I started examining the trades, I kept getting the strange sense that the A's are this year's Astros. They don't have much excitement on the field and have virtually baron farm systems. And the Astros had a couple of nice pieces to trade at last year's deadline: Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt.
Lance Berkman to the Yankees for Mark Melancon and Jimmy Paredes
Berkman was in the last year of his contract, so he was virtually a rent-a-player. Of course, I believe he was a Type A player so the acquiring team could've offered arbitration and received draft picks. Berkman's status and stats are fairly similar to Josh Willingham's this year. Willingham's OPS is .770 with 10 HRs and 39 RBIs, while Berkman's OPS was .808 with 13 HRs and 49 RBIs. Keep in mind that Berkman was traded at the end of July, so Willingham's stats reflect about 7 fewer weeks of games. They both stink in the OF.
So, how did the Astros do in that trade? Well, they got a decent middle relief pitcher who now gets saves, and they got Paredes who basically stinks. That's not a very good haul for a decent OF.
Other OFers traded at the deadline last year were Ryan Ludwick, Rick Ankiel, and Austin Kearns. Ludwick and Ankiel were involved in multi-player deals with Ludwick being part of the Westbrook trade and Ankiel going to Atlanta with Farnsworth.
Ankiel went to ATL with Farnsworth for Jesse Chavez, Gregor Blanco, and Tim Collins - Collins was clearly the best of those 3. And if Baseball-Reference is correct, he's never started a professional game. So at best he's another good/decent middle reliever, which, as we know, are a dime a dozen.
Austin Kearns was traded for a PTBNL, so he didn't get the Indians a haul.
My conclusion is that Josh Willingham (And David DeJesus) should not be traded and the A's should let him walk and take the draft picks. (NOTE: Of course, if a team wants to give more than that, the A's should take it. And who knows what the CBA will look like.)
Roy Oswalt to the Phillies for JA Happ, Anthony Gose, and Jonathan Villar
Roy Oswalt was a great pitcher for many years, so he certainly had a great track record. Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill don't have that record, but they also aren't in the second to last year of their contract like Oswalt was. Because Gonzalez and Cahill are younger and have more years, I value them slightly more than Oswalt at the 2010 deadline.
So let's look at who the Astros received from the Phillies. JA Happ burst onto the scene in 2009 with a pretty decent rookie year. He had a 2.93 ERA with 6.5 k/9. His minor league track record was also pretty good. In 6 minor league season he had a 3.52 ERA with more K's than IP.
Anthony Gose was a supposedly toolsy player that would eventually learn how to hit. (Yeah, right.) He apparently plays a good CF. As many of you know, he was immediately flipped to the Blue Jays for Brett Wallace. But Gose's minor league numbers were awful. I believe his value is in defense and the silly notion that he'll eventually learn how to hit.
Jonathan Villar was the #94 prospect on Baseball America's pre-2011 list, but I'm not sure why. He's been playing in the minors for 4 seasons and has yet to OPS more than .767 in A+. He's now struggling in AA.
All in all, I don't believe the Astros got much in return for Oswalt. Getting back to Cahill and Gio Gonzalez. At this point, unless the A's are blow away with an offer, the 2010 market tells us that the A's won't get much in return. But look at it this way, would JA Happ, Anthony Gose, and Jonathan Villar for Trevor Cahill get you excited? Not me.
The other starting pitcher trade that caught my eye was Edwin Jackson for Dan Hudson and David Holmberg. In my opinion, the Diamondbacks got back far more for Jackson than Oswalt got for the Astros. Hudson's minor league stats are really good and he's a young, cost-controlled pitcher. Since everyone knows that Oswalt is much better than Jackson, I can only assume that even contending teams value younger and better-priced arms than better and older pitchers.
My conclusion is that the A's should trade one of Cahill and Gonzalez. (My proposals are below.)
Any and all of their middle relief pitchers should be traded.
I think that 2010 shows that middle relief pitchers will net the A's a positive return. Farnsworth and Ankiel were traded for Tim Collins. Even if Collins isn't any better than Farnsworth, he's a lot cheaper.
Octavio Dotel was also traded to the Dodgers for James McDonald and Andrew Lambo. McDonald is a former top prospect who seems pretty inconsistent in the big leagues, but at the very least could be the A's number 4 starter for a few years while they rebuild. He's cheap and good enough.
And the Nationals got catching prospect Wilson Ramos for Matt Capps. Big win for the Nats.
Specific Proposals.
I hate doing these things because everyone disagrees with everyone else's suggestions. But since I put all of this work into this post, I might as well leave people with something to talk about.
Trevor Cahill or Gio Gonzalez AND Andrew Bailey/<or other relief pitcher that would work> for Shelby Miller and Zack Cox. This give the Cards exactly what they need and gives them what they need for a few years. They'll have an established closer who is still cost-controlled and a top of the line starter.
Yes, Miller and Cox are probably their top 2 prospects... but Cahill and Bailey aren't exactly rent-a-players, either. The A's will have a pitcher in 2 years who will probably be as good as Gio and Cahill and finally have a 3B of the future. If filler is needed... please include your favorite mixer.
Devine/Balfour and Sweeney/Crisp and Suzuki and Kouzmanoff for Belt and Peguero. This give the Giants a C, bullpen help, a kick in the ass to Tejada, and a bat off the bench. If this season is lost, the A's won't miss any of these players but will get back a truly legit 1B and the CF of the future. I sort of guessed with Peguero, but I do think that package would get the A's 2 of the Giants's top 7 prospects.
Balfour for Devin Mesoraco (C-Cincy). This gives the Reds a lot more bullpen help, which they'll need to stay in the race with their starting pitchers who don't go deep into games. This trade might be a reach as Balfour has a big contract. But I certainly don't think it's out of the question. He would immediately be the catcher of the future.
These trade would get the A's a, perhaps, top-notch starter, 1B of the future, 3B of the future, C of the future, and perhaps a nice CF of the future. By letting Willingham and DeJesus just leave, the A's will get a lot of draft picks to also help restock the system. As I've shown, I don't see much of a market for either of them.
But I also think these trades are fair because the Cards will get really good players and get to keep them beyond this year. The Giants will get a bunch of filler players to provide the depth to make a good run this year and also gives them the flexibility to move Posey to 1B if they want. The Reds would get a great boost to their bullpen.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) - Ever think you are one of the good drivers who can text and drive and the same time? Well, the State Highway Patrol is putting drivers to the test.
W8 2 TXT sponsored by SUBWAY gives drivers the chance to text and drive without putting anyone in harm's way.
"It makes me feel awful," said Michele Halvorsen of Pennsylvania. She is on vacation visiting family, but never thought she would learn a life saving lesson.
Halvorsen said sometimes she does text and drive, but that this simulation showed her just how dangerous it is.
"I had no idea how distracted I would be just driving this little course," she said. "I'm amazed that I failed so horribly."
Halvorsen isn't the only one who should be surprised at the negative effects texting has on a driver's attention. In a study put out by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, drivers that text and drive are 23 times more likely to crash.
April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and our news station is committed to helping stop texting and driving. Visit our web site and sign our pledge to make your car a phone-free zone.

One-Eyed Albino Cyclops Shark is Real, Scientists Confirm
In 2006, a kitten born with one eye and no nose (a rare condition called holoprosencephaly), created a buzz online as news organizations tried to determine if the photos of the animal were real.
A veterinarian confirmed the kitten's condition; "Cy," as the cat was known, lived only a day. The remains were sold to the creationist Lost World Museum, Fox News reports.
Meanwhile, the fisherman who discovered the Cyclops shark is reportedly hanging on to the preserved remains.
Scientists have recently examined and X-rayed the unique fish, authenticating the catch.
According to Seth Romans, a spokesman for Pisces Fleet, Galvan Magana and his colleagues will publish a scientific paper about the shark within the next several weeks, Fox News reports.

Kim Hyun Joong Plastic Surgery Before and After Photo
Kim Hyun Joong was listed among the Korean actors who have undergone plastic surgery. Even though it's obvious, many of his fans deny that he has had surgery. You may wonder what part of his face was changed.
It's his nose. He refined his nose with a rhinoplasty, as he has admitted in an interview. He said that he had his nose done – a rhinoplasty. He claimed that he got a better looking nose, but that he was forced to do it because of getting a broken nose after being hit by a stone. Now, he becomes one of the most poplar actor who has a nose job after Lee min ho. His current nose looks perfect, a better look than before, making women love him even more than ever.

Class of 2007 continues tradition of excellence
By : By Gail Glover
Approximately 2,278 freshmen and 740 transfers arrive on campus Thurs., August 28, to begin their first semester as Binghamton University students. They will be joined by upperclassmen who begin arriving Friday, August 29. The first day of classes is Tuesday, September 2.
This year, the University again received a record number of applications. Freshman applications were up 4 percent over last year, to 19,069 from 18,315. Transfer applications received were 2,268. In addition, graduate applications were up 5.8 percent, to 3,456 for degree programs — the highest number ever. Binghamton's total applicant pool, including transfer and graduate students, was approximately 24,793.
BU continues to be highly selective, accepting only 44 percent of its applying freshmen, up from 42 percent last year. National figures indicate that 90 percent of U.S. colleges admit more than 90 percent of their new student applicants. BU is one of the few schools in the country admitting less than 50 percent of its applicants for freshman admission.
Binghamton's Class of 2007 also continues to rank well above the national average in SAT scores. Of those who have indicated that they will be coming to BU, combined SAT scores are 1230 or higher, about 200 points about the national average.
Binghamton University currently carries the highest rating among the SUNY university centers in the "most selective" designation. More than 70 percent of the freshman class meets the designation, which is based on SAT scores and high school averages as defined by the SUNY system.
The mean high school average for entering freshman also remains high and is consistent with last year's figure of 92.
The majority of Binghamton students come from New York state. About 88 percent of freshmen and transfers are in-state residents. Of the total number of incoming New York students, 24 percent are from New York City, 22 percent from Long Island and the remainder from upstate areas. Of all new students from New York, both freshmen and transfers combined, 10 percent are from Broome or Tioga counties. Out-of-state students, 12 percent of incoming students, represent 20 states.
As in past years, the class mirrors the state's diversity. Thirty-two percent of the entering class represents minority groups. Of that number, nearly 19 percent are of Asian background, followed by Hispanic/Latino at 7 percent, African American at 5 percent and Native American at .1 percent.
More than 300 new international students will attend BU this year. Of those, approximately 65 percent are graduate students and 35 percent undergraduates. The greatest population of international students comes from India, China, Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Turkey. Incoming international students represent 45 countries, including Yemen, Tajikistan, Côte d'Ivoire and Barbados.
Growth at the graduate level is steady, with both domestic and international applications showing gains. Domestic applications are up by 7 percent, while international applications are up by 4.8 percent. Much of the increase in applications and anticipated enrollments may be attributed to new programs, such as the master of social work (MSW) program, which is accepting its first class this year. In addition, master's and doctorial programs in the Watson School continue to drive interest in mechanical engineering and related fields, while programs in art history, English, political science, clinical psychology, public administration and nursing show notable increases.

The Franklin Police Department is investigating after three burglaries occurred Tuesday at the same apartment complex.Authorities stated suspects pried open doors around 11 a.m. at Viera of Cool Springs on North Royal Oaks Boulevard.In all three burglaries, the suspects stole valuables such as televisions and laptop computers.During one of the crimes, resident Jagrudi Gondaily was home and screamed, causing the suspects who had forced their way into her apartment to flee."I was taking a shower, and then someone knocked on my door," Gondaily said. "Immediately, I heard the noise. Within two minutes, I heard them open the door and they are inside the home. They tried to open the bathroom door."Gondaily told News 2 she and her husband have only lived at the complex for about seven months. Police believe the males fled the scene in a gold 2005 to 2009 Chevrolet Impala. Franklin police are urging apartment residents to be vigilant and immediately report suspicious people or activity by calling 615-794-2513 or, in an emergency, 911.
A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Rev 12:1 -
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Rev 19:8 -
And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Rev 19:9 -
Then he said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!'" And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God." 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Rev 19:11 -
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had[e] a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,[f] followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp[g] sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

No, that's not solely you, I also perceive it to be to a large extend a matter of times.
Kirk uses woman for personal or professional gains (I remember Conscience of the King and By Any Other Name as examples for the latter) in both versions. The feminists might lynch me but I don't consider this to be a problem. He is horny, playful and he doesn't do anything nasty except for sometimes playing with their feelings and for not being the most professional Starfleet captain.
Kirk is horny, McCoy is cranky but they are good folks and definitely preferable to some decaffeinated guy who doesn't annoy his fellows with such traits but doesn't have any guts or principles either. Just think about what kind of doctor you'd like, somebody who treats you with velvet gloves but doesn't really give a sh*t or someone like McCoy who is angry with you when you don't care about your health or don't do what he says.
About McCoy, isn't it interesting that this kind of pain is something he has to forget or get over whereas the pain from TFF is a pain that drives him? To stay with TFF, isn't there also a difference between Spock hearing his father pejoratively speaking at his birth about his humanness which drilled itself right into his heart and the same message uttered when he is a young man? In the former case humanness becomes something integral to him which he has to struggle with from the beginning on whereas in the latter he reacts like any adolescent, with anger.
I like the idea that they are still growing up but I have my doubts as to how far these issues are just a matter of adolescence.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

HANYS to Help Train Hospitals for Collaborative Disaster Planning
The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) offers a free, Web-based training session, Building Collaborative Disaster Planning Processes Between Hospitals and Emergency Management, funded by a grant from The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
This course focuses on enhancing collaborative community preparedness for the medical needs of disaster victims. It is directed toward those working in emergency management agencies and health care organizations whose primary job responsibilities do not include disaster preparedness, especially in small communities and rural areas. It is also useful for those in public health, emergency medical, fire, and other services related to disaster preparedness.
To conclude this training, ACEP, in conjunction with FEMA, will offer a Webconference featuring local subject matter experts who will discuss disaster planning and emergency management in New York. These will include representatives from HANYS, the New York State Office of Emergency Management, the Department of Health, and Albany Medical Center.
The Webconference is scheduled for Tuesday, July 12, at 2 p.m. Please register online for the training program and July 12 session. You will need to establish a user name and password before you can access the training portal. Contact: Christopher Smith

I found myself on Larry Scott's Wikipedia page tonight (don't me ask me how I got there, because I don't even know). In the section dedicated to his work in the Pac-10/12, there are a couple paragraphs that kind of stand out:
Scott has shown a clear bias against the University of Southern California by not standing up for the conference's premiere program when it was hit with NCAA sanctions. Instead, Scott chose to decree that the USC Trojans would be ineligible to compete in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship game. As of November 26, 2011, the participants in the first ever Pac-12 title game are 6-6 UCLA representing the South and Oregon representing the North. USC has beaten both teams.
Scott went one step further in denouncing support for USC when he released a statement on behalf of the Pac-12 announcing that even though the University of Southern California finished at the top of the Pac-12 South, they can only claim the title 1st place, not champion. The title champion goes to a team they beat with a .500 record. This move by Scott, whose background lies in Professional Tennis, not football, has not garnered him any fans amongst the considerably influential alumni base of USC, nor has it done anything to raise the profile or exposure of the conference. USC fans are still very bitter at Larry even though he has done the best job in the NCAA.
Here's the link, although I don't think it will be kept up for very long.
I guess some USC fans still don't understand the concepts of consequences and punishments. It also shouldn't come as a surprise that
most some USC fans still don't understand the basic rules of grammar and punctuation.
Although the paragraphs are full of little gems, I think my favorite line comes at the end. After whining about Scott for almost 200 words, the talented writer remembers that he and "Larry" are great friends and decides to throw in a compliment.
This post should serve as a reminder to all of us to read everything on Wikipedia with a grain of salt. You never know what classless moron could be "contributing" to an article.

Fallout: New Vegas

Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas Review
Review By Steve Farrelly @ 01:32am 20/10/10
I'm not sure if it was born out of a sense of comedic irony that Obsidian chose to introduce your character in Fallout: New Vegas as a courier, but it makes oh-so-much sense. The myriad RPGs that litter the proverbial wasteland of gaming's present and yesteryear have all essentially turned players into couriers; workhorses for the NPC downtrodden - tools through which thriving virtual worlds can continue to spin their virtual spin, while you, a hapless de facto 'courier', of sorts, just try and make sense of it all - gleefully counting the experience points you just earned for returning someone's something and going on your merrily levelled up way.
If people complained that Fallout 3 lost some of the original series' more hardcore RPG roots, they can rest easier with New Vegas. This definitely looks and feels like Bethesda's true 3D reimagining of the post-apocalyptic franchise, but at its core there are more nods and injections from Fallout's past than anything from 2008's masterpiece. What it carries over from that title is more akin to the mutated bugs that make up so much of your impediments in the wasteland - a ferociously flawed technical experience that definitely needed more time in production. The game isn't broken, but it sure does limp along.
There's a lot familiar here, and a lot not so much. As mentioned earlier, the depth of the RPG elements - perks, S.P.E.C.I.A.L., items, crafting, repair, conversation, faction allegiance, buying, selling, looting - are all much deeper than in Fallout 3. It's actually quite daunting at first too, because unlike the previous game, you're welcome to approach a Work Bench and craft anything you want, provided you have the right equipment. You can also strip items down to basic parts to craft into other items, and this includes a lot of stuff, even down to individual ammo shells. You'll find your first two benches some five minutes into the game as well, which can be pretty jarring that early in. And not too soon after that, you'll learn how to combine food stuffs for health-helping items; another new element of the game that has some serious depth if you choose to utilise it correctly.
Also, interestingly, is the major change to level design over that of Fallout 3. My first experience out of Vault 101 two years ago saw me wandering further and further into the wasteland; unhindered by walls and ignoring the main quest line. The same cannot be said about New Vegas though, and while the game-world is once again massive and much of it open to you, there's more of a guided sense of exploration here - certain areas are either just too dangerous to even attempt to wander into, or you're plain locked out because of factions. It's a nice touch because ultimately, you're going to be able to stroll through these tantalisingly locked off areas at some point, that much is sure, but getting there is more than half the fun and Obsidian know this. So from the outset, you pretty much are a slave to their design.
In saying that though, New Vegas is actually far more daunting than Fallout 3. The Karma system is still in place, but it's role in defining your character is minor at best. The point Obsidian have made with this game is that, when playing with post-apocalyptic lore of this nature, there really aren't any good people left. The wastes are just that; the remnants of society - the dregs if you will, and no one character is above another for personal moral maturity. With this in mind, your character and the type of personality you manifest through the play experience is done so in how you choose to deal with the game's massive list of factions. Each has their own design for the Mojave wastes, and each believes theirs is the right one. But more often than not said designs are full of power and control motives, or motives of chaos and destruction. You're talking about a splintered society attempting to build something coherent, but not a one of them has a sane plan they can all agree upon.
What's left as a result of dealing with the crazy inhabitants then, is finding the faction whose basic outlook reflects your own end-game desires. Some players are all about making chaos in sandbox environments, and because the faction system dovetails constantly, there's a greater chance for farther reaching consequences every time you make a decision with one. So no matter what you do, there's always a result you need to be weary of.
I found myself torn between helping the diminished Brotherhood of Steel who were all-powerful in the Capital Wasteland of Fallout 3, but essentially forced to live in hiding, underground in New Vegas, or the New California Republic; the closest thing to any decent order in the place. Problem here is both factions hated each other, despite having common goals for some kind of greater good, or order at least, which means that becoming friendly with one was ultimately going to affect my relationship with the other - how far I took this though was really in my hands.
The system is far more engaging as a result - there's no cut and dry good, neutral or bad, there's just outcome, and you have to deal with it the best way you can.
Of course with any such system also comes a chance for intelligent players to milk the most out of the world around them. You're going to have enemies regardless, but unlike Fallout 3 where you were constantly at war with say the Talon Company or Raiders, you're almost always given a chance to align yourself with any group you come into contact with. But, as previously mentioned, some will attack on sight if you're too well liked or sided with their main enemy. There are ways around this (though not always), and so you need to be smart and look at the game's world in a different way - thinking further ahead with every game-changing decision you're about to make to carve out your desired path through the experience.
Another much touted new feature is one pulled from mods made for Fallout 3 - Hardcore mode. After you've gone through the character creation process, you're prompted to be able to play the game in this mode, which actually requires constant management of food, water and sleep. The game scales to be much more difficult, and you're not as strong as when playing Normal mode. This is where food and chem crafting are more important, because you need to deal with shorter buffs - eating straight up Cram, for example, will wear off quickly, making you suffer from starvation much sooner than you'd like.
The same can be said of water, too. Purified water lasts much longer than Dirty water (and has no Radiation effects), and all of these, when you're suffering from their deprivation of, have negative effects on your skill-set. Staying well rested, well fed and fully hydrated can mean the difference between reaching a particular skill level a time of crisis when you most need it.
Hardcore mode also demands more management of items, as you're not only capped at a lower weight threshold, but even ammo comes with a weight increment. So loot hoarders are going to find it hard keeping their accrued items to a safe minimum, especially because you'll actually be carrying required items to help manage the Mode's other pitfalls, such as only being able to heal damaged limbs with Doctor's bags, and not general Stimpaks, weapons and items that wear down much more quickly, and a greater chance of death for your companions among a few other gratifying (yet grinding) parameters.
Obviously companions is the other major change for Fallout: New Vegas, and while you could recruit members in Fallout 3 the system here is much more robust. Recruited buddies will give you a skill-specific perk (so Boon the sniper gives you a Perception perk, while ED-E offers up a perk that allows you to see enemies on your radar from greater distances). They also come with their own side-quests, which then offer more loyalty rewards and a greater performance from them. You can only have one member at a time unless you repair ED-E the Enclave Eyebot from the Capital Wasteland, at which point you can have him on-hand as an added bonus, but each companion also comes with their own grudges - so you can't take someone who hates the NCR anywhere near them because they'll likely just open fire. By and large they're pretty cool to have around, especially if you're playing Hardcore (as I am), and combat is much more difficult.
Commanding them is a bit thin though. The Companion wheel offers chances to make them wait or follow, be passive or aggressive, use ranged weapons or melee, but it's not always so cut and dry. Usually they're aggro magnets, alerting enemies to your presence at the worst of times, and their place by your side essentially negates any stealth you might have wanted to perform. They suffer the same AI pitfalls as the rest of game's characters in that they easily trip up on the environment, constantly running into solid walls and being left behind as you masterfully work your way through the game's questionable collision detection. Having more dynamic responses from NPCs or your companions based on the major decisions I mentioned earlier would have helped too, but it's not all bad, the system could just do with a more tangible and manageable interface.
Overall, Fallout: New Vegas is an excellent game through its sheer size and depth. Fallout 3 fans will love it, as it offers enough new content and enough changed content to warrant the massive amount of time Fallout 3 likely gleamed from you, while anyone who thought Bethesda's effort didn't live up to Black Isle's Fallout legacy can look forward to better writing overall, a revamped conversation system (with deeper, more dynamic and 'Fallout-esque' responses) and the heavier RPG elements.
At some 40hours in as of writing this review, I've barely moved on the game's main plot and still haven't even remotely met every faction in the game - it's absolutely massive. But this brings with it my main gripe, and it's something I touched on earlier. While it's great we essentially get another Fallout experience in this generation with all of the great stuff mentioned throughout this review, the tech behind it all is just old and buggy as hell.
It's arguable there's more scope in Obsidian's game, but this has come at the cost of the product itself being let down by a lack of bug fixing. It doesn't look as good as Fallout 3 did, and perhaps that's down to internal support at Bethesda knowing the engine better than their outsourced pals, but it shows, and doesn't help when Obsidian are known for lacking in the polish department. I was lucky enough to avoid any full crashes (though my house-mates have suffered these), but dodgy texture load-ins, massive frame-rate drops, out of sync voice work and alarmingly close pop-up have actually marred the experience for me. It is a detriment when you invest so much into the world, lore and characters and I'm hoping some serious patch work is released as soon as possible.
Beyond the technical shortcomings though, I can't put the damn game down. And like I said, it's big. Really big. Dauntingly big. But engagingly so. The writing is much tighter, the characters more engaging, the world more tangible and your investment in it so much more personal - here's hoping we see a culmination of both efforts for the obvious fourth installment on some bugless new tech.

Ares Basics| Profile of Ares
Ares is a war god and god of violence in Greek mythology. He was not well-liked or trusted by the ancient Greeks and there are few tales in which he plays a major role. Cults of Ares are found mainly in Crete and the Peloponnese where the militaristic Spartans honored him. Athena is also a war goddess, but was well-respected, as a polis protector and goddess of strategy instead of Ares' forte, mayhem and destruction.
Ares appears in what one might call bit parts, overshadowed by heroes or other gods, and in many battle scenes in Greek mythology. In the Iliad, Ares is wounded, treated, and returns to the fray. See Iliad V Summary.
Family of Ares:
Thracian-born Ares is usually counted the son of Zeus and Hera, although Ovid has Hera produce him parthenogenically (like Hephaestus). Harmonia (whose necklace turns up in stories of Cadmus and the founding of Thebes), the goddess of harmony, and the Amazons Penthesilea and Hippolyte were daughters of Ares. Through Cadmus' marriage to Harmonia and the dragon Ares sired that produced the sown men (Spartoi), Ares is the mythological ancestor of the Thebans.

Some Myths Involving Ares:
- Adonis
Ares rather than Artemis is sometimes said to have been responsible for the death of Adonis. He either sent a boar or was himself one. [Source: Carlos Parada]
- Aphrodite and Ares
One of the most famous stories involving Ares is his being caught in flagrante delicto with Aphrodite. Although the lovers were caught in a net in a compromising position, the gods watching envied Ares. Read: Mars and Venus Caught in a Net
- Ares and the Giants
Ephialtes and Otos, sons of the Giant Aloeus, put Ares in chains and into a cauldron where he was stuck until Hermes rescued him. (See the Story according to Homer, in Iliad 5). In the war against the giants, Ares slew the giant Mimas (Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3. 1227 ff)
Cadmus and the founding of Thebes
Cadmus slew the dragon of Ares and, on the advice of Athena, planted its teeth. From the sown teeth armed men sprang up ready to fight. All were killed but five who were known as the sown men or Spartoi. Apollodorus says Cadmus served as a laborer for Ares for a "year" as atonement for the killing.
Cadmus - The Myrmidons, as re-told by Thomas Bulfinch.
- Halirrhothios Murdered by Ares
- Dionysus and the Return of Hephaestus (The Failure of Ares)
Homeric Hymn to Ares:
VIII. To Ares
(17 lines)
(ll. 1-17) Ares, exceeding in strength, chariot-rider, golden-helmed, doughty in heart, shield-bearer, Saviour of cities, harnessed in bronze, strong of arm, unwearying, mighty with the spear, O defence of Olympus, father of warlike Victory, ally of Themis, stern governor of the rebellious, leader of righteous men, sceptred King of manliness, who whirl your fiery sphere among the planets in their sevenfold courses through the aether wherein your blazing steeds ever bear you above the third firmament of heaven; hear me, helper of men, giver of dauntless youth! Shed down a kindly ray from above upon my life, and strength of war, that I may be able to drive away bitter cowardice from my head and crush down the deceitful impulses of my soul. Restrain also the keen fury of my heart which provokes me to tread the ways of blood-curdling strife. Rather, O blessed one, give you me boldness to abide within the harmless laws of peace, avoiding strife and hatred and the violent fiends of death.
Homeric Hymn to Ares

You might know that caring for a dog can help children learn to be more responsible, but studies show that dogs also boost self-esteem in children, enhance social skills, and help them to be more cooperative and share. Whether you're looking for a purebred dog or mixed-breed dog, here are a few that typically do well with children. Remember, an adult must always supervise interactions between any dog and children, and the kids must be taught to treat dogs gently and respectfully.
Airedale Terrier
The "King of the Terriers" is hugely versatile, performing successfully as a hunter, guide dog for the blind, livestock herder, elegant show dog, and loving family pet. Airedale Terriers are smart, sensitive, and playful, making them fabulous companions for children. More>>
Australian Shepherd
Australian Shepherds are active, intelligent "people dogs" who want nothing more than to be a part of the family. Happy to travel to kids' baseball games, join in on fun outings like trips to the beach, and herd the kids around the yard, Aussies make wonderful companions for respectful children who are taught to behave properly around the dog. More>>
It's hard to deny the Beagle's rightful place in a fun-loving pack of "Peanuts," though Beagles are more engaged and sincere than the ever-famous Snoopy and just as entertaining. This short-haired miniature hound loves to be a part of the family and to be involved in everyday things. He will follow little ones around the house and yard, keeping one eye on them and the other on mischief of his own. He needs a good parent to train him and teach him manners since he's naturally a curious little fellow with big-dog ideas of his won. More>>
Bearded Collie
Described as bouncy and exuberant—ideal for keeping happy kids active and moving--- the Bearded Collie lives to be around children. With its long, easycare, unkempt coat and athletic build, the Beardie loves to participate in fun activities and sports, like jogging, running alongside a bicycle, hiking, and chasing sheep (get some!). The Bearded Collie's strong sheepdog instincts can lead to its gathering (herding) young people or even nipping at their Nikes: parents must train the dog to know the difference between kids and ewes and supervise so that the dog's nanny instincts are properly channeled. More>>
Bernese Mountain Dog
For the family with children seeking a large dog, the Bernese Mountain Dog makes a docile, sweet-natured companion. With its long, silky black coat marked with characteristic white and rust, the Bernese stands up to 27.5 inches at the shoulder. It is a versatile outdoor dog whose smart and confident demeanor recommend it for the job of child's companion. They are known to be able to do anything from pulling carts, herding cows, guarding the home, yard and farm, and even babysitting the kids. More>>
Bichon Frise
This animated powder puff is a lovely companion for older children, and fits perfectly in any household, from suburban living to big-city apartments. The beautiful, plush, snow-white coat is low shedding dog breed but needs regular professional grooming to maintain. The Bichon Frise might be suitable for people with dog allergies. More>>
Boston Terrier
Playful, gentle, and affectionate, the Boston Terrier makes a great pal. Sturdy enough to enjoy rough play, they want to be with you and are not backyard dogs. This compact, smart breed is easy to care for, requires minimal exercise, and does best when his humans show gentle leadership.
The handsome Boxer is as loyal and dignified as he is affectionate and energetic. When trained and socialized, Boxers are tireless and downright silly companions for youngsters. Supervise to make sure 50 to 85 pounds of Boxer don't knock over your kids and their friends. More>>
The lumbering, gentle Bulldog is both sturdy and slow—a great match for families with kids. Often referred to as the English Bulldog, this dignified dog breed is typically an even-tempered and agreeable fellow, and tends to form tight bonds with children. More>>
Created using a blend of 60 percent Mastiff and 40 percent Bulldog, the powerful Bullmastiff combines the best of both dog breeds in a large, strong package. This dog breed is devoted to his family, adores children, and possesses a protective but mellow outlook, making the Bullmastiff one of the better extra-large breeds for city living. More>>
Bull Terrier
Like all terriers, the Bull Terrier is active and full of personality, and this sometimes comical breed is especially ready for fun. This is a substantial dog, weighing up to 70 pounds, and can be headstrong like a stubborn child. But with positive training, socialization, and inclusion in family activities, the Bull Terrier thrives as a loving companion. More>>
Cairn Terrier
An active and super bright little dog—the breed once followed the skipping Dorothy down the Yellow Brick Road—Cairn Terrier loves to be the center of attention…in real life and movies! They've been described as rugged and resourceful and do best as family dogs, provided they have a dog-smart parent to teach them right from wrong. Since they will chase small animals, like squirrels and chipmunks, they must always be on lead when not in a safely fenced area. More>>
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Nicknamed the "Comforter Spaniel" by British royalty who favored the dog breed throughout history, today's Cavalier makes a devoted pet for gentle children and does not require a castle to keep him happy. Cavaliers can adapt to a little exercise or a lot, and the beautiful, silky coat is easily maintained with regular brushing and combing, so no professional grooming is required. More>>
Even though most kids today haven't heard of Lassie, the Collie remains the proverbial children's dog due to the breed's instinctive protective nature and the intelligence of a ten year old child. Collies like to take walks and run in the backyard, but they adapt to the family's lifestyle and can be happy in any size home. The rough Collie requires more grooming than the smooth coat, but it's essentially amounts to just a few minutes a week. More>>
Golden Retriever
The bright, smiling Golden Retriever is a medium-sized sporting dog, weighing in between 55 and 75 pounds, with a long, lustrous coat in various shades of "golden." This breed has never met a stranger and views all youngsters as his designated playmates. The Golden is always ready for play, whether it's galloping in the backyard, swimming on the beach, or hiking on a trail. More>>
Labrador Retriever
Lead a Lab to water and it will retrieve all day: balls, sticks, and even children who happen to go for a swim. Whether black, chocolate or yellow, the Lab's kid-friendly nature has helped make him the most popular dog breed in the United States. Patient and gentle by nature, the Lab excels in a home with respectful children, and craves regular play and exercise to channel his exuberance for life. More>>
A devoted family companion dog with a sweet and even temperament, the Newfoundland has proved himself reliable around kind, well-behaved children. Although kids should never be allowed to climb on top of or ride on the backs of these gentle giants, Newfies are robust and engaged playmates, and delight in hauling children around in carts. More>>
Poodle (Miniature and Standard)
Although Toy Poodles are too fragile for young kids, Miniature Poodle and Standard Poodle are excellent playmates for respectful children. Well-bred Poodles are active and intelligent, and revel in learning fun tricks or playing endless games of fetch in the yard. An added bonus: Poodles are dogs that don't shed and might be suitable for people with dog allergies. More>>
The Pug is as sturdy and big as a Toy breed gets. Weighing in at 14 to 18 pounds, the Pug is a compact, little dog with tons of personality. Most Pugs are easygoing and playful, enjoying the attention of sensible children who recognize that the Pug is no plaything. In cool weather, Pugs are animated and entertaining friends for kids, but tire easier than larger dogs. More>>
No reason for the kids to be afraid of this ghost, the Weimaraner (called the "grey ghost" because of its distinct color) is an easygoing, tolerant family dog whose above-average intelligence makes him easy to train. Weims are naturally graceful and know how big they are, even if they attempt to snuggle with owners on small chairs on laps. Ancestors were bred to hunt, and today's Weimaraner likes to be a member of the family pack. More>>

Lizzie Gulfport, Mississippi
I'm surprised the American Pit Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, any of the Bulldog breeds, or at least one of the Staffordshire Terriers (Staffordshire Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier) aren't on here. Those breeds have tested higher on temperment tests then some of the breeds on here. http://atts.org/breed-statistics/statistics-page1/ The most important thing to do while having kids around dogs though no matter the breed, size, or history is constantly supervise them and educate the child about dogs and they're behavior and how to interact with them while also making sure your dog is well socialized and trained.
Leslie - 233329 Lakeside, AZ
A lot of nice breeds of dogs on this list!
ShihWheatielover Manhattan, Kansas
I am startled to find that you did not list the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier or Shih-Tzu! I own both of which, and they are delightful with children! You can find MANY people who agree. They are listed on many websites as great children companions. I also want to add, ANY dog can be good with children. I dont believe in saying a dog isnt good with children because of its size.

Sunfeather - Bar Soap Oatmeal Vitamin E - 4.3 oz. (121 g)
Sunfeather Oatmeal Vitamin E Bar Soap is scented with essential oils and natural aromatics. A mild face and body soap with exfoliating oats and nourishing soothing Vitamin E. With a subtle warm and spicy scent, this soap has been a customer favorite for over 30 years!
Making Scents
Artisanal products are made in small quantities by traditional methods. Sunfeather adheres to the tenets of the "slow" movement, which began with food and are expanding to skin care and cosmetics. The slow movement encourages tradition, and a hands-on approach to production. The Slow Community is grassroots, not organized or controlled by any one organization. SunFeather products are a perfect example of slow, hands-on production. Everything they produce is made methodically in small 25-100 lb. batches. Their attention to detail and high quality, pure product ingredients define Sunfeather's work each day.
Coming Clean
Sunfeather's fine natural soaps, creams and balms are made from healthful organic ingredients such as: freshly pressed olive and avocado oils from the Mediterranean; edible coconut, palm, and castor oils from the Pacific Rim; sustainably-harvested fair trade shea butter from Africa; and dried herbs, botanicals, naturally derived colorants, essential and nature identical oils, butters and waxes from around the globe. All Sunfeather products are hand packaged with labels they design. Artistry is a very important component of their work. The color, texture, and scent palletes that they create must integrate artistic form and practical function. Bringing new ideas to life and sharing them with Sunfeather's customers is part of their passion for the slow work ethic they enjoy.
The Sunfeather Story
SunFeather's history began in the fall of 1979, when founder Sandy Maine blended a passion for fragrant and medicinal herbs with a fascination and skill for soapmaking. With a core value that a business can deliver positive products to consumers, Sandy pooled her talents and started SunFeather in her backyard with a vat of bubbling oil and $15.00 worth of local cedar oil.
For five years (while the business grew), Sandy hauled water in 5-gallon pails from a nearby spring to her farmhouse, which provided a peaceful setting and crystal clear water for making soap. Because she lived beyond the power lines (utilizing only a small generator and no telephone), all business was initially done by mail. Sandy visited the nearby town twice each week to place phone calls to customers. During that time, Saturday nights with her husband Louie were often spent wrapping and labeling soaps for shipment.
As the business grew, employees joined the business to help with the increasing workload. Eventually, Sandy gave up her role as soap maker and focused on product development, sales and marketing. Sandy's work expanded to include authorship of numerous articles and books on soapmaking, herbal homekeeping and succeeding in business. Sandy's work has expanded the appreciation and use of handmade soaps in ways she never anticipated. Sandy continues her product development legacy as Sunfeather maintains the company's founding philosophies. Great soap is here to stay!

You can try cutting rings from other materials, although steel or
iron tubing won't work well because it's not only heavier and has
a lower electrical conductivity than aluminum, it's also inherently
magnetic and will be attracted to the coil during those 2 instances in every cycle when the voltage isn't
changing. Copper tubing conducts electricity even better than aluminum, but it's also heavier than aluminum and doesn't react physically (due to inertia) as strongly to the changing magnetic field as aluminum.
Rings cut from any type of tubing should have an inside diameter of q"– 1".

Re: Social SecurityApril 28, 2013 12:00 AM
Share with others:
David M. Shribman's April 21 column ("Social Security, 21st-Century Style") adds to the confusion about Social Security. It states, contrary to fact, that there is no Social Security Trust Fund. We don't say a person is insolvent if there's no cash under his mattress, and there's no reason to say Social Security is insolvent just because there's no "little drawer" with Social Security funds in it. The Social Security Administration website describes its funds, which are expected to remain solvent for 20 or more years.
Mr. Shribman censures Democrats for objecting to the chained consumer price index in calculating cost-of-living increases to Social Security benefits. There's good reason for their objection. The chained CPI does not accurately reflect the cost of living for seniors. The Bureau of Labor Statistics computes a separate index for the elderly to account for their different consumption patterns; for instance, the elderly spend considerably more on medical care. Social Security does not "endanger the economy," as Mr. Shribman claims, because payments do not contribute to the deficit. Payments come ultimately from payroll taxes (FICA) paid by employees and employers.
Mr. Shribman accuses President Barack Obama's critics of "trying to make overhaul of Social Security impossible." Opposing the chained CPI does not make overhaul of Social Security impossible. There are other possibilities for overhaul. For example, as Mr. Shribman points out, FICA is regressive: The effective tax rate is higher for low incomes than for high incomes. Instead of cutting benefits, we could eliminate the regressive FICA cap.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - Hawaii senior linebacker Brenden Daley was taken by ambulance from Saturday's game against Oregon State.
The nature of Daley's injury was not immediately known. He was hurt when he collided with a Beavers player early in the first quarter after Oregon State went up 7-0.
Daley raised his hands as he was being loaded in the ambulance and he pointed at Hawaii receiver Chris Gant.
In the opener against USC, Daley led Hawaii with 10 tackles, including four for loss, a sack and a forced fumble. Hawaii lost to the Trojans 30-13.

Hi honda0105, just saw your comment to me about Murphy in the forum, I have never filled up at them, I only have bought 2 gallons for my lawnmower cause it was handy, I hear you about a station showing you pumped more than your vehicle can hold, there is an independent station a few miles form where I live and they do that there, I refuse to buy anything from them, they are a total rip-off, but you wouldn't believe the business they do! But than people have no brains anymore, to much time spent on their cell's texting and talking to God only knows *--*! Honestly I do wonder what did they do before we had cell phones? Hope you have a great Saturday, sorry I got a bit carried away , TOL! Gloria

January 1st: the start of a new year and, for many college students, a time to reflect between semesters. With the new year comes New Year's resolutions, too. How can you tell if your resolutions are good ones during your college years?
Good New Year's Resolutions for College Students
- Don't procrastinate. If you're like most college students, time is one of your most prized possessions. Promise to manage it with the utmost care so you aren't always feeling rushed -- and stressed. Learning good time management skills (including how not to procrastinate in the first place) can be one of the best gifts you'll give yourself all year.
- Learn to say "no." College is full of amazing, exciting, fantastic things. But there are only so many hours in a day, and only so much you can reasonably expect of yourself. Learn to say "no" early -- and to be okay with doing so -- so that you aren't constantly demanding more of yourself than you can actually deliver.
- Get academic help, even if you don't think you need it. Sure, your paper will probably earn you a passing grade. But heading to the writing center, for example, for some helpful feedback just might make it an out-of-the-park-home-run paper. Why not take that extra moment of time and utilize the academic resources you have access to?
- Make healthy choices. Instead of setting weight-loss or exercise goals, for example, aim to start small and make healthy choices. For example, you can decide to eat at least 2 more fruits or veggies a day, sleep at least 6 hours (if not more!) a night, exercise 3 times a week, or drink only one cup of coffee a day. Think about it in terms of making healthy choices (e.g., get more sleep at night) instead of avoiding unhealthy ones to set yourself up for a positive outlook.
- Find fun, cheap ways to manage stress. Managing your stress may be one of the best resolutions you can make for the new year. Learn how to take your mind off of things -- without blowing your budget, of course -- before your stress gets the best of you.
