Her win over Miesha Tate lasted longer than her collected MMA career before the fight, but it still ended the same way: first-round armbar. At Strikeforce on Saturday "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey proved she was more than just a pretty mouth piece as she lifted the promotion's bantamweight title, snapping her opponents arm along the way.
Having only fought five times in her professional career, her ascent to the top of women's MMA has been dizzying. Many doubted her worthiness, none more than incumbent champion Tate who charged Rousey with having talked her way into a title shot.
"I didn't talk my way into that one," was Rousey's curt reply, moments after having the belt wrapped around her waist.
Rousey is a new breed of female fighter, combining Olympic level athleticism with the verbal skills to cut a promo on a microphone better than all but a handful of her MMA counterparts, male or female. It's rubbed several fighters the wrong way; no one expects a woman to smack-talk like this and certainly not one setting herself up to be the face of women's MMA.
But that's exactly what she did. She headlined the event and brought more attention to women's MMA than any other more "deserving" contender ever could.
When the bell rang, Tate charged her opponent, hoping to engage Rousey in a high octane stand-up war. The contender looked clearly out of her depth and the Olympic judo bronze medallist wasted no time in taking the fight to the mat. It was a signature Rousey move which almost ended in the signature Rousey way as the she locked onto Tate's arm. The champion fought through and displayed plenty of ground skills of her own.
The two fought back to their feet and displayed beautiful scrambling and mat work before Rousey using a perfectly timed judo hip throw had Tate flat on her back. This time Rousey showed her superior ground skills, taking full mount and back mount, throwing punches on a cowering Tate before locking another armbar.
Tate continued to resist until the last minute, when her dislocated elbow bent backwards on itself and the match was over at 4:27 of the first round.
Rousey and Tate did not exchange words or share an embrace after the match. The bad blood between the two remains.
"I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, since I kind of started [the trash talking], but after weigh-ins, when she got in my face and I pushed her back and she said I should be fined for head butting her… if you're going to try to act hard, just follow up with it," Rousey said in a post match interview, adding, "Don't pull back and say I should get a fine. I thought that was kind of messed up".
The Tate-Rousey bout was billed as the biggest women's MMA fight since the Gina Carano-Cris "Cyborg" fight in 2009, and it certainly lived up to the hype. In fact, it could be argued that this fight was the cleanest and most technically sound women's fight that Strikeforce has ever put on.
Many are already calling Rousey a female version of Brock Lesnar, who helped bring the UFC to mainstream audiences and turn it into one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
Certainly with Gina Carano pursuing a career in acting and Cris "Cyborg" Santos sidelined for a year due to a failed drug test, the stage is set for Rousey to take on the role of the "face of women's MMA".
However, Dana White, UFC president, has always said that the fight organisation would consider women's MMA if it had the strength in depth that the men's sport has and that depth is still lacking.
Rousey's first challenger will likely be the fighter deemed by many – including Tate – as the one who deserved to fight for the title on Saturday night: Sarah Kaufman. The former champion won a bloody battle over Alexis Davis via majority decision in the main undercard attraction. But after Kaufman there are virtually no challengers at 135 pounds in Strikeforce.
The UFC's parent company Zuffa bought Strikeforce last year and inherited its female division. It will be down to Zuffa, perhaps with an all-female series of The Ultimate Fighter, to build the depth in female talent to bring women's MMA into the mainstream.
The Tate-Rousey match has already shown there is interest in women's MMA and we're maybe just one superfight away from capping that achievement. That fight could be against the most dominant female fighter in the history of the sport – Cris "Cyborg" Santos. That fight could finally peak the UFC's interest enough to finally look to start an all-female division of its own.

This year, about 62,000 people in the U.S. will learn they have a potentially deadly form of skin cancer called melanoma. The good news is, if you find it early, the cure rate is very good. The bad news is, if you get one spot of melanoma, like the one pictured, that increases your risk for getting another one later.
Dr. Daniel Coit and his colleagues at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center wanted to understand more about those risk factors. Their findings in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, indicate if you have a family history of melanoma, or if you have one of these odd-looking light brown freckles or moles, called dysplastic nevi, again, your risk goes up.
And there's more. "If you have a second primary melanoma, you have up to a 30% chance of getting a third primary melanoma," said Dr. Coit.
Dr. Coit says no matter what factor puts you in a high risk group for melanoma...if you are, then you need to get checked often by a dermatologist for the rest of your life.
The JAMA report followed almost 5,000 people and tracked their skin health for 3 years to determine the risk of getting multiple melanomas. If you'd like to read more about the JAMA report, click here.

Sitcom bosses are often played for laughs, and much of the time that means that they're crazy, mean, incompetent or all three. The most memorable sitcom bosses tend to be the ones that create the most chaos, although sometimes they turn around and do something nice and sensible. Here's a look at the top 10 sitcom bosses.
1. Michael Scott, 'The Office'
Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell) is probably the first person that comes to mind when you think of sitcom bosses, because The Office is built around how clueless and inconsiderate Michael is as the manager of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. Although he often has good intentions, Michael frequently makes employees uncomfortable with his jokes, brings his personal life to the office and derails business with his ludicrous ideas. Still, he makes for a strangely effective boss, because he cares so much about what happens to his employees, even if they can't stand him.
2. Jimmy James, 'NewsRadio'
The richer a boss is, the more eccentric they're likely to be. In the case of Jimmy James (played by Stephen Root), owner of New York City radio station WNYX on NewsRadio, his vast wealth allows him to indulge in micromanaging the goings-on at the station, even though he has a whole corporate empire to attend to. Despite his eccentricities, though, Jimmy is a friendly guy who wants to do what's best for his employees, including helping them in their personal lives. If he overreaches, it's just because he's making his best effort to do what he thinks is the right thing.
3. Jack Donaghy, '30 Rock'
Although Jack Donaghy (played by Alec Baldwin) projects an air of being a ruthless corporate titan, he really has a soft spot for losers like Liz Lemon. As an NBC executive on 30 Rock, Jack should have no time for Liz, the head writer of the lame, low-rated sketch-comedy series TGS With Tracy Jordan. But Jack feels the need to be a mentor, and even when his advice to Liz is completely mismatched with her personality, he's only trying to help. Jack is merciless when it comes to most business decisions, but his weakness for helping the underdog actually keeps him from ascending to the throne he aspires to.
4. Dr. Bob Kelso, 'Scrubs'
Dr. Kelso (played by Ken Jenkins) is the kind of guy who seems friendly and fun if you meet him for only a couple of minutes, but when you get to know him turns out to be mean and demanding. As the chief of medicine on Scrubs, Dr. Kelso lords over the interns with cruelty and venom, always favoring cost-cutting measures and bureaucratic politics over what's best for doctors or patients at Sacred Heart Hospital. It's only after he's forced to retire and no longer has to deal with the pressures of running the hospital that his (slightly) softer side comes out.
5. Louie De Palma, 'Taxi'
From his position of power inside the dispatcher's office, Louie De Palma (played by Danny DeVito) bullies the drivers on Taxi, reveling in his own meanness and bad behavior. He has no scruples whatsoever, and isn't above stealing from the company itself if the situation arises. The best that the drivers can do is try to stay out of his way and hope he doesn't take out his wrath on them. It's just another in a long line of indignities of life as a cab driver, something that Louie's employees deal with every day.
6. Larry Tate, 'Bewitched'
Although Darrin Stephens is the one who works outside of the home on Bewitched, it's clearly his witchy wife Samantha who's in charge. That principle extends to Darrin's workplace, the McMann & Tate advertising agency, where his boss Larry Tate (played by David White) is often the unwitting victim of one of Samantha's spells gone awry. But that's only because Larry is so craven and money-hungry that he sets up unrealistic expectations for Darrin to meet in order to please clients, and the only way for Darrin to hold on to his job is to ask Samantha to weave a spell. That's not exactly an effective managerial style.
7. Artie, 'The Larry Sanders Show'
Although Artie (played by Rip Torn) may technically work for Larry Sanders, host of the late-night talk show within the show on The Larry Sanders Show, he really runs things himself, since Larry's so insecure and neurotic. A veteran of both the Marines and the early days of television, Artie is happy to use manipulation and blackmail if necessary to get what he wants from agents, managers and network executives, and he isn't afraid to show his distaste for people like Larry's ex-wife. He's also canny enough to hide his dislike for people when it serves his interests or the interests of the show, the mark of a truly devious operator.
8. J. Peterman, 'Seinfeld'
As far as rich, crazy bosses go, Seinfeld's J. Peterman (played by John O'Hurley) is mostly harmless. He's more of a pontificator than anything else, carrying on at length about the various exotic adventures he has, which he channels into listings for the outdoor items in his eponymous catalog. Poor Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is often at his mercy, and she has to channel his ramblings into coherent writing for the catalog, but he's so thoroughly immersed in his own world that it's just as easy for his employees to get something out of him as it is for him to exploit them.
9. Sam Malone, 'Cheers'
Sam Malone (played by Ted Danson) is the boss everyone wishes they could have: A former professional baseball player, Sam buys the eponymous bar on Cheers because he likes bartending and he likes talking to people, and he treats the place more like a hang-out than a business. He leaves the bookkeeping to his managers (first Shelley Long's Diane, then Kirstie Alley's Rebecca), while he pours out beers, chats with patrons and hits on all the good-looking ladies who show up for a drink. Who wouldn't want to work for that guy?
10. Ron Swanson, 'Parks and Recreation'
As someone who does actual work, Ron Swanson (played by Nick Offerman) on Parks and Recreation is kind of a failure. Although he's the head of the Parks Department in Pawnee, Indiana, Ron is a staunch libertarian who believes that government should be reduced or eliminated, and thus he uses his position to advocate for doing as little as possible. But even though he's stubborn and ineffectual, he also knows when to step aside and let go-getter employees like Leslie Knope do what he's unwilling to do, and help people in the process -- all while he sits back and eats a hamburger.

I believe that DA gives us the best chance to win now and that Quinn is an unknown who may be able to use this season to make strides along the learning curve, although after watching Ryan, Sanchez, Flacco, and Roethlisberger, I'm less convinced than most that the modern era young QB needs years to learn the NFL game. As these 3 weeks have progressed, it seems that one of 2 things is true: either BQ is not an NFL caliber QB or this coaching staff and its offensive system is systematically flawed, making Quinn a hapless victim of circumstance. Would BQ be able to run the Steelers, Ravens, Falcons, or Jets offense?
On a week to week basis, it's difficult to watch a team that is lacking at key positions (RB, OLB in a 3-4, and offensive coordinator), but I suppose this question could also be called, "What is the goal of this season?" Is the goal to win or something else? Your thoughtful responses are appreciated.

While I have my doubts that one can disappear completely without "special assistance" (as in government help or an extreme amount of money), there *are* some ways to make it a lot more difficult to be found by non-government officials. Frank Ahearn and Eileen Horan cover a lot of that information in their book How to Disappear: Erase Your Digital Footprint, Leave False Trails, and Vanish without a Trace. This is not a large encyclopedic manual on how to eliminate your existence; rather it's more a handbook on how to make it more difficult to be traced (and a lot more expensive for those determined to do so).
I'm Frank. Nice To Meet You; Meet Your Enemy – The Skip Tracer; A Skip Tracer's Best Friends; Time To Disappear; Misinformation; Tracks And Clues In The Home; Disinformation; Your Reformation Arsenal; Reformation; How Not To Disappear; Disappear From Identity Thieves; Disappear In Social Media; Disappear From A Frog; Disappear From A Stalker; Disappear From The Country; Pseudocide 101; Final Thoughts; Acknowledgments; Index
Ahearn was a professional skip tracer, a person paid to track people down. Using both legal and illegal methods, he was usually able to find whoever he was going after as they nearly always left a trail of some sort. In Disappear, he takes the other side of the equation and talks about what someone would need to do to make it more difficult and expensive to find them. While some of them are obvious (stop using social media, don't use your credit cards), others are more tricky and require some time and effort (and money) to put into place. For instance, in one case he had a person open a small checking account and the ATM card was given to a friend who traveled extensively. The friend made small charges in various cities, making it look like the person was moving around a great deal. He coupled that with a visit to a different city to look at apartments and have a credit check run. Any skip trace looking to find the person would have to pursue those leads, all of which would lead to dead ends. Yes, the skip trace may eventually pull the right thread at some point, but the costs to the person looking for you go up significantly.
If you take the information in this book for what it's worth, it's a good reference tool and a fun read. Thinking this is the equivalent of the Witness Protection Program "how-to" manual is a mistake, as it's not. And if the federal authorities are after you, there's little in here that will keep them at bay for very long. But if you're trying to disappear from the annoying ex or a crazy who has a beef with you, How To Disappear might be the key for keeping a step or two ahead of them.
Obtained From: Library
Payment: Borrowed
A book such as How to Disappear : Erase Your Digital Footprint, Leave False Trails, and Vanish without a Trace, scores very high on the cool factor. Ultimately though, it's one of those books that details things you should not try at home.
Author Frank Ahearn is a professional skip tracer; which is a person who locates other people. The term comes from the word skip being used to describe the person being searched for, and comes from the idiomatic expression to skip town, meaning to depart, perhaps in a rush, and leaving minimal clues behind for someone to trace the skip to a new location. Often these people are wanted by the government, family, spouses, or other authorities.
The book is touted as the "authoritative and comprehensive guide for people who seek to protect their privacy, as well as for anyone who's ever entertained the fantasy of disappearing – whether actually dropping out of sight or by eliminating the traceable evidence of their existence". Those are a number of very different goals.
For those who seek to protect their daily privacy in the physical world, the book provides a lot of good, high-level insights.
Since the author admits he isn't a technology expert, the book doesn't offer significant input on how to ensure online privacy, short of saying that one shouldn't use social media. Readers wanting to protect their online privacy can use effective resources such as CDT's Guide to Online Privacy for such topics.
Most people want to protect their privacy, and while many do entertain a fantasy of simply disappearing, the reality is that true disappearance is extraordinarily difficult and fraught with risk.
At 197 small pages, the book is a quick read and covers all of the key points. The book does have a lot of good details, but isn't the definitive text, as the devil is in the details, and many of those details are missing in the book. The person who truly wants to disappear would need an expert like Ahearn to work with them, rather than simply relying on the book alone.
The danger in a book like this is that it may lead someone to attempt to disappear on a whim. That is a great way to get themselves in a fine mess, often ending up in more trouble than before their aborted disappearance attempt.
The book focuses on 3 key areas: misinformation (destroying all the data known about you), disinformation (creating fake trails) and reformation (act of getting you from origination to destination without leaving any clues).
Some of the books ideas are similar to the federal witness protection program. In the federal program, witnesses are encouraged to keep their first names and choose last names with the same initial in order to make it easier to instinctively use the new identity.
Like the federal witness program, the books notes that in order to prevent the possibility of someone being followed, they should use a convoluted and indirect transportation path before finally reaching the location where they will live under the new identity. This path often involves a long chain of seemingly random routes which are intended to be difficult for a skip tracer to find or anticipate.
The book includes numerous stories of real-world scenarios in which Ahearn was involved with, and shows how to avoid their mistakes.
Many people envision disappearing as being on a beach with endless beers. Ahearn paints a reality involving endless use of disposable cell phones, cash cards, and remote mail boxes. But that is a lonely existence most people don't seem ready for.
Can someone really change themselves? Yes, but it's very expensive and difficult to hide without changing your identity and you certainly cannot hide from the government without changing your identity. The book is ultimately for someone who has a lot of money, as there is no way to create a new life on the cheap.
The book doesn't detail how to create a completely new identity in a new location, something that seemingly only a witness protection program can do, and mainly is about leaving false trails so that those looking for you can't find you.
For the person contemplating disappearing, they must ask themselves if they really want to live a life of endless prepaid phone cards and prepaid credit cards, using only free wireless and disposable USB memory cards as the book suggests. The book is about ensuring that one's old life and new life don't connect. After a few months of that, most people will likely be quite lonely.
The author notes that most people want to disappear for two main reasons: danger or money. Some people deal with stalkers, abusive ex-spouses or someone who came into money and doesn't want friends or family to locate them.
In a recent interview, Ahearn suggested New Zealand is one of the best places to disappear, as it's a long way…
You are right the title says free, and there are many free tips that I include. However, I say in the video not all of these free tips will work all of the time, that's why I also include a paid option. There are persons that just need to know who is calling and they need to find out NOW.
I hope that this clears things up…
Happy searching
The Title says free and it costs money…..
no, you can not do that, it is impossible for it.
No free lookup site over the internet. All say its free, but when you try to find then you will see that there is no free .Anyway I prefer you to visit http://reversephonenumberfinder.com/ this site. just insert the number and press enter. they will take a simple charge from you than other phone lookup site. But they give you quality result. name, address, current location (Where he/she is staying at present).

Posted in response to a request. I've made this once, and it was fantastic (personally, I made the one big loaf, not the two small ones). Apparently, this bread is traditionally very dense; if you want yours heavier, the amount of cornmeal should be increased and the amount of flour decreased. I like it this way, though. And, it's great toasted!

Great Wall of China
December 31st, 2008
photo taken from nationalgeographic.com
The Great Wall of China is a stone fortification that was built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century B.C. and the 16th century that was used to protect the northern barriers of the Chinese Empire from Xiongnu attacks during the rule of successive dynasties. The wall stretches for approximately 4,160 miles. It has been estimated that 2-3 million Chinese died as part of the long project to build the great wall. This is definitely one of the most fascinating man-made developments in human history.

Who was your man of the match at Ewood Park?
Updated 9:10am Wednesday 2nd April 2014 in Sport
Who was top man for the Seagulls as they claimed a battling point at Blackburn?
As ever we've come up with a five-man shortlist.
It includes the three scorers and lively Jesse Lingard, who was heavily involved in two of the goals.
Rather unusually we've also short listed a player who played less than half the match in recognition of a lively run out for Solly March.
So who was your pick of the 14 who shared a six-goal thriller?

Fifteen Bad Things with Windpower–and Three Reasons Why
[Note: This article has been updated to Twenty Bad Things about Windpower — go here.]
Trying to pin down the arguments of wind promoters is a bit like trying to grab a greased balloon. Just when you think you've got a handle on it, it squirts away. Let's take a quick highlight review of how things have evolved.
1 – Wind energy was abandoned well over a hundred years ago, as it was totally inconsistent with our burgeoning more modern needs of power, even in the late 1800s. When we throw the switch, we expect that the lights will go on — 100% of the time. It's not possible for wind energy, by itself, to ever do this, which is one of the main reasons it was relegated to the dust bin of antiquated technologies (along with such other inadequate sources like horse power).
2 – Fast forward to several years ago. With politicians being convinced by lobbyists that Anthropological Global Warming (AGW) was an imminent threat, a campaign was begun to favor all things that would purportedly reduce CO2. Wind energy was thus resurrected, as its marketers pushed the fact that wind turbines did not produce CO2 in their generation of electricity.
3 – Of course, just that by itself is not significant, so the original wind development lobbyists then made the case for a quantum leap: that by adding wind turbines to the grid we could significantly reduce CO2 from fossil fuel electrical sources (especially coal). This argument became the basis for many states' implementing a Renewable Energy Standard (RES) — which mandated that their utilities use an increased amount of wind energy.
4 – Why was a mandate necessary? Simply because the real world reality of integrating wind energy made it a very expensive option. As such, no utility company would likely do this on their own. They had to be forced to. [Read more →]

Joe (Romm), Where Art Thou? (my peak oil bet deserves an up or down)
In a post on his blog and then again on the Huffington Post, Joe Romm challenged me to a wager on oil prices, claiming prescience concerning the price rise in the past decade compared to my 1996 forecast of low prices for two decades. He seems to be implying that that I have refused to wager him, having closed the webpage to any further comments.
I find myself taken aback, as my experience with the blogosphere is somewhat limited. My experience is primarily as an academic, writing articles for refereed journals and books, as well as working papers, with an intention to make them carefully sourced and referenced. A blog can consist of nothing more than a rant, and the comments appended to them often worse (and usually anonymous). I will not however yield to the temptation to follow suit (even if our illustrious moderator would permit it, which he won't).
Having put up approximately 20 posts on the subject of peak oil, it might be thought that Romm is an expert on the subject. But so far as I know, he has a grand total of one article on oil, his famed, "Mideast Oil Forever" Atlantic Monthly piece (co-authored with Charles Curtis), which is the source of his pride on the subject.
A careful reading of "Mideast Oil Forever" shows that his argument was not so much that prices would soar, but that global dependence on Middle East oil would soar, which has not happened. My argument was that the forecast of rising Middle East market share was likely to be incorrect, and it was (see Figure), so that economic fundamentals would not imply ever rising prices.
Forecasts of OPEC Market Share from 1996/97
Which is a far cry from saying my forecast was wrong and Joe's correct. In my testimony, I specifically stated,
"The reality is that prices may go up in the future. And Persian Gulf oil production and exports will rise. However, the most likely scenario, given what we know about oil supply and demand and what we have learned about forecasting in the last 10 to 15 years, is that OPEC is going to be under continued pressure for at least the next 10 years, possibly for much longer, that they will be fighting with each other for market share. And, it's going to require some very substantial changes in the world to see prices rising." (See my opening statement on pp. 127-128.)
Arguably, the price collapse leading to the rise of Hugo Chavez, the September 11 terrorist attacks and the Bush Administration's decision to invade Iraq, are those 'substantial changes'. Certainly, not the soaring Middle East market share predicted by Romm. (Since he downloaded the transcript of the hearing, it's not clear how he missed this.) [Read more →]

'Green' Wind, 'Smart' Grid–A Thought Experiment and a Policy Proposal for the Environmental Left
Suppose you began this morning by learning that some investors and developers had stepped forward with a reportedly new type of commercial grade electrical power called "Zephyr Integrated Power" (ZIP). Being clever, they are spending a LOT of time and money marketing ZIP, knowing that this is their chance to break into the grid in a BIG way.
Their message– ZIP is "FREE, CLEAN, AND GREEN"–sounds great! Oh yes, and for good measure, ZIP will create oodles of jobs.
So the basic question is this: exactly what do we do before we allow these people and their new product on the electric grid?
We wouldn't be so gullible to just take their word for it, would we? Yet this is exactly what we are doing today!
And there is more: our politicians are so enamored with ZIP that they tell these promoters that we will not only allow them on the grid, we will FORCE utilities to use ZIP. (Hmmm. Wouldn't utilities WANT to use ZIP if it was so great?) How are utilities going to be forced to use ZIP? Lobbyists have sold our politicians a clever tool called the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to do just that.
Yet there is more. Despite the supposed benefits (which a free market would obviously jump on without government involvement), our wise government is going to offer the ZIP promoters billions of dollars of taxpayer money and ratepayer guarantees to support their product.
Remember, all this is without independent proof that ZIP has any real benefits…
Sadly, this astounding state of affairs is how our currently lobbyist-driven system operates.
Policy Proposal for the Environmental Left
The Left looks to government to do good things for the environment. My Pollyanna vision is that complex technical matters should be solved by science. So here is my (government-involved) proposal (with apologies to the libertarian bloggers and readers of MasterResource). It would go something like this… [Read more →]

Early in the year we had floods. In February I got a pumpkin off my land in front of the house and it weighed 18 pounds. I consider I have nice pumpkins considering the conditions under which they have grown. I sold over £ 6 worth off the pumpkin patch and also had a lot of stuff to eat off it, later over £ 7 from pumpkins etc. 14th February I gave a chow 10 pines for a tin of salmon. I bought a plow from Wests for 12/6d. During the year I built myself a hayshed. In April when Mother was living with Cecil and Grace I turned a wal king stick for her to use. 3rd June a stump I was burning caught grass alight and caused a bush fire and sailed through my pines had an awful go at getting it out. Quite a lot of pines had to be replanted during the year because of the fire. In June I went to a salvage sale of building material and got over 40 sheets of burnt iron 1/ 6d worth. 14th June I went over to Cecil and got 18 lbs of lead to make lead head nails I made 60 today. I made lead head nails for whenever they were needed for the families buildings during the year. I painted the iron with a preserving paint that was of my manufacture, which did a good job. I made a box to put salt meat in. I put an affair together intended for Lily to mix her dough in. I am trying to make a churn affair for Cecil. I turned up a handle for Arthurs whip. 8th August Cecil and I worked at the forge making a draw bar and sharpened tools etc. 21st September I prepared a few glasses to view the eclipse of the sun today. 19th August Cecil and Grace ha d a daughter. 8th September went and got mine and Arthurs cotton seed. 20th November cotton I planted 2 months ago has bolls showing, those plants only 3 weeks has signs of same on them. The entire district is having problems with getting good germination from the seed. 7th December Rain is needed badly for all the cotton. It is that hot that weeds cut up to 2 or 3 hours could be rubbed in to powder. 5th December Harry and I went for a 100-mile ride on his Indian motorbike and sidecar to Yeppoon and back and also other places. During the year I worked at Cecils house and well plus other jobs helping the family. It was another year when I had a lot of sickness.
1-1--: I was home all day.
15-1-: Just went for milk and lied down during the day.
16-1-: Picked p ines and hoed round a few rosella plants and saw Charley and Willie and another boy came up and helped me to pull some pines. I gave them nearly 10 dozen specked pines to take home, only 5 carts went in with pines today and there has been 15 going in rec ently crop waning.

On a pretty busy day so far personnel-wise for the vikes, with Singletary signing on to be the LB coach. The controversial former head coach of the broncos is officially headed to St. Louis taking our chances to get Timmy Tebow with him.
While many people have been against McDaniels joining us next year, I really started to get used to the thought of possibly getting Tebow (even though it probably would not of happened any ways.) I feel he is a great offensive coach and while he may not have been ready to be a head coach i think he will succeed with the Rams and Sam Bradford.
Reports say that we have interviewed Musgrave, the Falcons QB coach and have competition with the Browns for him. While we didn't get McDaniels I am happy how Leslie Frazier has addressed the coaching changes so far and hope to see some more big names mentioned to our vikes through the free agency as well.

Lawyer's Suit Against Google Transferred
Pennsylvania attorney Lawrence E. Feldman has seen his case against search giant Google transferred to federal court in California. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania found he is bound by the company's "click wrap" agreement -- one of those pop-up windows that list terms of use that individuals must consent to if they are to use Google's AdWords advertising service.
Feldman bought the right for his law firm's ads to appear next to search results when Google users searched for terms such as "Vioxx," "Bextra," and "Celebrex," according to the court's opinion.
Feldman claims he is a victim of click fraud -- when competitors or pranksters, without any interest in his services, click repeatedly on his ad, driving up his advertising cost -- and he blames Google for not warning him about the practice. But the click wrap agreement required all disputes to be decided in Santa Clara County, and it controls, the court found.

Rounds 1-2 February 28th starting at 6:00 pm Eastern Time.
Rounds 3-4 March 1st starting at 5:00 pm Eastern Time.
Rounds 5-7 March 2nd starting at 3:00 pm Eastern Time.
During the draft, please do not use title lines for discussions. Title lines are only used for each GM to announce his or her teams selection.
Each team will be allowed 5 minutes for each selection. Picks can be announced early but the following team(s) on the clock will be given the allotted time for their pick. If a selection isn't announced by the time given for each teams pick, the best player available on the big board will be the selection for the team. If a GM does not think he will be able to make his pick, the GM can also a submit a top 10 Big Board of their own from which a selection will be made from. Each GM does not have to be around for the entire draft. You can just be present to announce your teams selection. For anyone that would like to participate but is unsure on whether they can make it or not, it will be easy to figure out what time you will need to have your pick in by. I was going to post the times but that is a lot of work that I can't get around to do. Since it is 5 minutes between picks and a 10 minute break between rounds. This should be easy for each GM to figure out. If there are any questions I would be more than happy to figure it out, if asked. There will be a 10 minute intermission between rounds held on the same day
Trades will be allowed but certain rules will be applied. No trades will be allowed during each individual round. They can be discussed but trades must be presented before each round. The only reason for this is that there is a lot going on during the draft and it will cause confusion. Each GM must acknowledge a trade has been made during the ten minute intermission between rounds. All trades will be subjected to the Draft trade value chart for fairness.
Each round will have its own FanPost. I will post the first round a hour before the draft. The second one will be posted immediately after the first round is completed. Each day of the draft will follow the same.
As for the Bengals selections, each Bengal pick will have its own FanPosts too. Every user on Cincy Jungle will be allowed to vote for their selection. Everyone is welcomed to participate. No discussions will be allowed in the fanpost. Just enter the name of the player you would like on the title line and that is it. After 5 minutes the fanpost will be shut down and the votes will be calculated. The player with the most write in votes will be the selection for the Bengals. This post will be heavily monitored so please only one vote per person.
Lastly, there are still teams that need GM's. Continue to spread the word so we can fill the last couple teams left. If it gets to where we can not fill all the teams. Then people that are already a team GM can claim another team. If a team goes unclaimed, they will be given BPA from the big board during the draft. Also, this is meant to be fun and enjoyable, so lets keep things civil and respectful. Not everyone will have the same opinions and thats ok. That is what these mocks are all about. EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY and I'm sure this draft will go as smooth as possible.
One last thing, if anyone has any questions please ask. It will be better to get everything out in the open now, oppose to when the draft has started. That way any tweaking that needs done will get done before the draft. Like always, if anyone has any input or concerns please feel free to share. If you would like to claim a team submit below and I'll update as much as possible.

text: Like many of you, I've been devouring my 2010 Baseball Prospectus. I know its easy, and probably sensible, to detest many of the moves the Royals brass has made over the, ummmm, last 20 years. However, I've noticed that peppered throughout several team capsules, and sometimes even in other teams player comments, are snide remarks about our beloved Royals. It would be interesting to actually see how many times they piss on the Royals throughout the book. Is it just me, or is it a tad overboard? Sure, many of GMDM's moves are virtually indefensible. However, I think a lot of the negativity is overblown by a couple of bad moves, or moves that turned sour. Principally, the Kendall signing, the Yunitard trade, and the inability to repeat the 2008 feat of building a solid bullpen out of spare parts. I know the bad moves outweight the good ones. However, on the same hand, its undeniable that he's rebuilding the farm system, and has somehow convinced the odious Glass family to spend money on the draft and in the international market, added a farm team, and gave the pink slip to the old training staff. In reality, KC hasn't had the likes of Montgomery, Melville, Myers, Moose, Hoss, Duffy, etc....in the minors, and a young-ish anchors in the bigs like Greinke, Butler, Soria, and maybe Gordon, to build upon in a long time. No way a defense of GMDM, and I don't trust the process. But despite the on-going stench, doesn't it realistically, in the big picture, seem to be less pungent? I see green shoots. Is BP stomping on the Royals necks so gleefully a product of my sensitive and tender nature, or have any of you bad asses picked up on it too?

Vikings hoping they can rattle St. Louis' rookie QB
[size=18px]Vikings hoping they can rattle St. Louis' rookie QB[/size]
The Rams' system -- not a rookie QB -- should be the Vikings' primary concern.
Mark Craig, Star Tribune
Last update: December 7, 2005 at 9:36 PM
The matchups this week seem too good to be true for the Vikings' frantic pursuit of the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears.
The Bears (9-3) travel to Pittsburgh (7-5). The Vikings (7-5) play St. Louis (5-7) at the Metrodome.
The Bears have a rookie quarterback facing a veteran secondary. The Vikings have a veteran secondary facing a rookie quarterback.
Make that a seventh-round draft pick. In his first road start. And he's from ... Harvard, for gosh sakes.
Look out, Ryan Fitzpatrick.
"Everybody is licking their chops," Vikings defensive lineman Spencer Johnson said. "Definitely, definitely. It's a new situation [for Fitzpatrick]. We're going to really try to get after him, especially up front. Get some pressure in his face and hope he makes some mistakes."
Fitzpatrick knows what's coming, even though the most hostile crowd he has faced was 55,000 fans at Yale.
"I've definitely heard that it's a wild place," Fitzpatrick said of the Metrodome. "And a tough place for an opponent to play."
The Vikings are 4-1 at home. St. Louis is 2-4 on the road.
"We'll practice the whole week with crowd noise in our bubble," Rams interim coach Joe Vitt said. "There are going to be a lot of hand signals and silent counts. We are going to do the best we can to prepare him for it."
Twelve of the Vikings' 18 interceptions have come during the current five-game winning streak. Free safety Darren Sharper has six of them and admits he likes playing rookie quarterbacks, even a smart one with an economics degree from Harvard.
"I've played rookie quarterbacks who have come out and had a heck of a game and played like veterans," Sharper said. "But more often than not, you can make a young quarterback do some things that he won't like to do, and make some mistakes."
Fitzpatrick proved he isn't a typical rookie two weeks ago when he rallied the Rams from a 21-point deficit to an overtime victory at Houston. Coming off the bench to replace the injured Jamie Martin, Fitzpatrick completed 19 of 30 passes for 310 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner in OT, in his NFL debut.
A media darling was born. The veteran Martin was demoted to No. 3 and Fitzpatrick was awarded the starting job until Marc Bulger returns from a shoulder injury.
"It was a little bit crazy as far as the attention I got," Fitzpatrick said. "It went from getting zero attention to requests from everybody."
Fitzpatrick's first NFL start last week was more the norm for a rookie. He threw an interception and posted a 58.0 passer rating in a 24-9 loss to Washington at home. He did run 7 yards for a TD.
Vikings defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell said he's concerned about the Rams' offensive system, not the quarterback.
"No one heard of Kurt Warner either before he got into this system," Cottrell said. "And Marc Bulger, too. It's a very difficult system to defend because there's so much speed and skill at receiver, the tight ends catch the ball very well and the two running backs are Steven Jackson and Marshall Faulk."
Torry Holt has 75 catches for 1,017 yards and seven touchdowns for the NFL's No. 2-ranked passing attack. Jackson has 1,168 yards from scrimmage (869 rushing, 299 receiving) and nine touchdowns.
If it's truly the system that's dangerous, the Vikings might be in trouble. In the past three meetings, dating to a playoff game in 1999, the Rams have 1,370 yards of offense, a completion percentage of 81 and a 3-0 record by a combined score of 137-83.

Tice: Rams' Little will have little effect this time

Vikings: Playoffs!? Well, if they win ...
Panthers bottle up Vick, Falcons
NFC Playoff Race
The last time he played the Vikings, St. Louis defensive end Leonard Little had four sacks and forced two fumbles during the Rams' 48-17 victory in 2003. On Monday, Vikings coach Mike Tice promised that Little will have, well, little impact Sunday at the Metrodome.
"We won't let Leonard Little take over the game," Tice said. "That will not happen. ... I am not going to tell you what my game plan is, but he won't take over the game."
Little's monster game two years ago also induced Vikings right tackle Mike Rosenthal into three false-start penalties. Sunday, Little -- who has four sacks in a relatively quiet season -- will face rookie right tackle Marcus Johnson.
Tice said after two days of analysis, the Vikings will keep their starting offensive line intact. Tice did not rule out rotating those starters with veterans Chris Liwienski and Rosenthal if necessary.
"I am going to do whatever I have to do," Tice said.
First aid
On Monday, Darren Bennett flew to San Diego for several business meetings. One was an appointment with an accountant to discuss his pending retirement from the NFL.
By Tuesday, Bennett had signed a contract with the Vikings to replace injured punter Chris Kluwe.
Bennett, who turns 41 next month, said Wednesday he still plans to retire as soon as Kluwe recovers from a sprained anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Kluwe will miss at least one game but the Vikings hope he will return no later than the Dec. 25 game against Baltimore.
"You feel happy to come in and help the guys out," Bennett said, "but I have no aspirations of doing it any longer than a couple of weeks until Chris is healthy.
"I'm not looking to find another team later on. I'll go back to retirement and life as a father."
Bennett said he has not punted much since the Vikings released him Sept. 3 -- "Do guys block when they retire?" he said -- but he said he believes his leg has rebounded after a poor training camp.
Kluwe, meanwhile, said his knee remains swollen but mostly pain-free.
Injury report
Wearing a protective pad on his right shoulder, cornerback Fred Smoot made it through his first full practice since partially fracturing his collarbone Nov. 6. He is listed as questionable on the injury report but is expected to serve as the team's nickel back Sunday unless he suffers a setback.
"I don't see him in the role he wants to be in," Tice said, "but we'll get him going."
In other injury news:
•Running back Michael Bennett sprained his ankle after slipping on ice Sunday night, Tice said, but Bennett practiced Wednesday. Running back Mewelde Moore (ankle) worked with the first team.
•Linebacker Heath Farwell, who has a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee, sat out a portion of practice and is listed as questionable.
•Cornerback Laroni Gallishaw has a high right ankle sprain and likely will miss at least two games.
•Tice said quarterback Daunte Culpepper will be the Vikings' starter next season when he recovers from knee surgery, regardless of backup Brad Johnson's performance.
"If I'm the coach," Tice said, "He's my guy."
• St. Louis coach Joe Vitt put the Rams through a series of contact drills Wednesday in an effort to improve the team's horrendous tackling of late. The expected return of safety Adam Archuletta (concussion) should help.

Hopefully him and Moore will be healthy on sunday.
Re: Vikings hoping they can rattle St. Louis' rookie QB
I went to the St. Louis Vs. Redskins game and the Rams played one of the worst games since the arrived in 1995.
The offensive line is weak and the defense was just plain lousy.
The Vikings should have an easy time of it.
The St. Louis is worried that Fitzpatrick will get injured. He is the 3rd string QB.

I cannot stand the RAMS. Behind beating ANYONE in the division I hate the Rams and Cowboys. I really cannot stand (I know he is not there) Mike Martz maybe if he is gone forever my Ram hatered will die. I cannot wait until the Vikings rip this team. It seems the last few times we played them they have just kicked our butts. So this to me is another NY Giants get the monkey off our back game.300

It has been reported in various places today that Section 133 of Mountaineer Field (the southwest corner, almost directly above where the team comes out of the tunnel) at Milan Puskar Stadium is being revamped as an alcohol-free Family FunZone for 2013. The details of the transition are quite inconsequential, really. Tickets cost $365 each ($60.83 per game) with no MAC donation, which is about the same as it was before in that section, if memory serves. Folks already in that section can stay if they want, or move to Section 132. Families with tickets in other areas can apply to move into 133. After season ticket renewals are complete (they're in that process now), the general public can snap up those seats.
Great, right? Well, knowing WVU fans, someone will find a way to screw this up. What happens when a big-money donor wants to move into the Family FunZone while his kids are still in grade school, then decides he wants to go back to throwing pennies at opposing teams from the first row of Section 105 after they graduate? I can't image that discussion will go over too well. Or how about the Georgia State fan who unwittingly scalps a FunZone ticket and then saunters into the stadium with a bottle of George Dickel tucked between his thighs? I doubt he gets a refund. And is the FunZone only alcohol-free inside the stadium? Or are the ushers going to administer brethalyzers to make sure cousin Timmy didn't down an entire tray of Jello shots from your work tailgate while the Pride was performing Simple Gifts? Most importantly, how are they planning to bleep out the "Eat Shit Pitt!" chant during Sweet Caroline?
Okay, so maybe there are some details to be worked out. But all in all, this seems like a good idea. I mean, it's a shame that we have to designate certain areas where our fans aren't allowed to wear "West F'n Virginia" t-shirts and puke in the aisles, but that's the reality we live with. It's a shame that folks who have given thousands of dollars to the MAC over the years have to move to the corner to escape the
jerks who stand and cheer on the team the entire game, not just on third down with the score tied in the fourth quarter 24 year old High Life Lounge owner with a mouth from an N.W.A. album. Alas, maybe that's the price we pay for selling alcohol into the stadium or admitting students from New Jersey.
Despite all its foibles, the Family FunZone has been a long time coming. At last, there is someplace parents can take their children and hopefully be able to enjoy the game free of worry about what their kids might see, hear, or smell that could ruin the experience or, worse, yet, cause bodily injury or emotional trauma. Heck, if it means getting away from the inebriated nitwads sitting behind me at the Baylor game who were escorted from their seats by three state troopers during the fourth quarter for letting Pat f#*)!*$ Miller know what a f*#)(% piece of worthless $#!( sucking !@@* scum *$@*$$&* slow, stupid #*@&!(#* #*@& he was. Over. And over. And over again, then maybe I'll ask for a transfer too.

UConn fan analyzes Ohio State violations
Throughout the last six months, Buckeye fans have been lambasted here on OTE as being delusional homers regarding our views on the Tressel/Tat-5 violations. I offer this then as an objective view of someone who's come to the same conclusion as most Buckeyes. The guy is a UConn fan who has done a complete 180 since reading the NCAA's preliminary report. Thanks to Ramzy Nasrallah at 11-W for the find.

While watching what is shaping up to be a bitter and bloody U.S. Senate campaign in Mississippi, it's important that state voters not lose sight of the fact that in the name of "grassroots" politics they are going to bear witness to a lot of folks selling "astroturf."
In politics, "astroturfing" is to true "grassroots" politics what "astroturf" is to real grass. It's fake grass with fake roots.
As noted in prior columns on the subject, the current U.S. Senate campaign in Mississippi is the target of "astroturf" groups and super PACs (political action committees) on an unprecedented scale. State voters have already seen the handiwork of such high-sounding groups as Club for Growth, Senate Conservatives Fund and FreedomWorks - groups that funnel whopping sums of PAC money into attack ads against primarily incumbent Republicans.
In Mississippi, these outside groups have doubled-down on state Sen. Chris McDaniel, R-Ellisville, in his bid to "primary" incumbent Mississippi GOP U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran.
Why? Because Cochran has committed the unpardonable sin of thinking for himself and not allowing his every vote to be dictated by libertarian talking heads and because Cochran read the part of the Constitution that balanced the power of the U.S. president to direct spending with that of Congress to do the same thing.
Why? Because Cochran refuses to engage in the politics of the temper tantrum with votes to "shut down the government" every few months when policy negotiations get tough.
Why? Because Cochran used his vast influence to bring $29 billion in hurricane relief to the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina?
In what has become cookie-cutter campaigns, these "astroturf" groups have gone after veteran Republican members of Congress not with the idea of winning general elections, but with the idea of winning Republican primaries. Veteran Indiana GOP Sen. Richard Lugar was a victim of these groups and they succeeded in helping Indiana state treasurer Richard Mourdock unseat him in the 2012 primary.
Then, Indiana Republicans watched the slow-motion train wreck that became Mourdock's general election race against Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly, who was elected when Mourdock self-destructed in part because longtime Indiana Republicans were disgusted by the tactics of the "astroturf" groups in demonizing Lugar in the Republican primary.
One interesting development in Mississippi is the fact that supporters of Cochran among Mississippi's Republican rank-and-file decided not to take the out-of-state "astroturf" group attacks lying down. They formed their own "Mississippi Conservatives" super PAC to turn some of the same harsh tactics being heaped on Cochran by the out-of-state groups on McDaniel. Call it homegrown "astroturf."
It's unfortunate that Republican primaries have degenerated into battles over ideological purity fought in great measure on premises that are totally false. But there is one group out there that just loves the current crop of Republican internecine feuds - it's a group called Democrats.
Even in Mississippi - where Democrats are one healthy Attorney General Jim Hood away from being totally skunked in trying to win statewide office - they take heart at the fact that the Mississippi Republican U.S. Senate primary is shaping up to be one that is fought to a scorched earth conclusion.
In Indiana, it's unlikely in the extreme that Democrat Joe Donnelly alone could ever have unseated the GOP from the stranglehold they had on Lugar's old seat - that it, of course, without the direct assistance of the Indiana GOP.

Special Issue "Non-Equilibrium Blockcopolymer Self-Assembly"

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last decades have witnessed great and (sometimes) unpredicted progress in the generation of sophisticated nanostructures from block copolymers in different microenvironments such as the solution state, in thin-films, or as bulk materials. Besides the wide variety of available building blocks, one intriguing feature of block copolymer self-assembly is that one single material can adopt different morphologies, depending on the surrounding conditions. Subtle changes in the environment, suitable additives, crystallization occurring, confinement, or simply changes in the solvent sequence or the temperature (pathway) during self-assembly can lead to the formation of kinetically trapped nanostructures. In some cases, this even enables the hierarchical organization of well-defined soft matter building blocks over several length scales.
In that respect, this issue is intended to highlight recent advances concerning all aspects of non-equilibrium block copolymer self-assembly as well as possible applications in diverse fields like, e.g., materials science, biotechnology, or supramolecular chemistry.

Douglas -- A jury has finally been selected in the Amanda Troupe trial.
It took two long days to seat the men and women who will decide Amanda Troupe's fate. The jury of five men and seven women will ultimately decide guilt or innocence in the 20 count indictment against Amanda Troupe.
The prosecution claims Troupe was drunk when her vehicle struck an ATV carrying six kids, 13 or younger. Five were killed in the crash.
It was a long day for nearly 100 potential jurors. It's even longer for the 12 jurors and two alternates that are listening to opening statements in the courthouse.
Jurors endured more questioning this morning from the defense concerning their feelings on driving under the influence and their ATV knowledge. Jurors were then questioned individually before the judge, prosecutor, and defense including Amanda Troupe.
Only 49 of the 60 were individually questioned. Both the defense and prosecution had nine strikes apiece to get the jury.
Judge Mike Boggs wasted no time after seating the jury, starting right into jury instructions. A second day of jury selection started with more questioning from the defense.
Defense Attorney Tom Pujadas zeroed in on jurors' feelings concerning drunk driving, asking if anyone had ridden in the car with a driver who had a few drinks. Most had.
Around 11:00, the judge prosecution and defense began individually questioning jurors. At 3:30, both sides began the striking process to get the 12 member jury and two alternates.
The prosecution is expected to call witnesses including a pathologist, police officers, GBI lab technicians, and the sole survivor, Heather Bass.
The defense is expected to call expert witnesses to testify about ATV safety standards and warnings on the machines that caution against overloading and young drivers.
Jurors will ultimately decide guilt or innocence on the 20 count indictment. If they find Amanda Troupe guilty on all 20 counts, Judge Mike Boggs could sentence Troupe to a maximum of 91 years in jail.

FRANKTON, Ind. —
Eastbrook came into the Eagles Nest at Frankton High School and got a heavy dose of Aaron Korn as he racked up 31 points and 11 rebounds on the way to a 75-46 victory Friday.
The Eagles (4-0, 1-0 Central Indiana Conference) started the game by scoring the first nine points and never trailed.
Korn joined the 1,000-point club in his last game against Wes-Del and carried that momentum against Eastbrook (1-4, 0-1). He scored seven of his team's 20 first-quarter points on 3-of-5 shooting from the floor.
Trevor Hughes got in on the first-quarter scoring barrage by connecting on all three of his shots from the field for six points, and Jordan Reeves provided the muscle under the basket by scoring four points and corralling five rebounds in the opening stanza.
Before the Panthers knew it, they had been doubled up 20-10 after one quarter of play.
Korn continued his onslaught in the second period. He hit all but one of his six shots from the field with one of those coming from beyond the arc for 11 points.
He said that there was definitely some leftover emotion from joining the 1,000-point club that carried over against Eastbrook.
"The emotions through the whole week, everybody congratulating me and everything, I was kind of looking forward to the next game," he said. "All the crowd was great, the emotions (were) great, and it just kind of carried over."
Korn said that being undefeated at this stage doesn't mean anything unless the Eagles prove they are worthy of their record.
"We still have to prove ourselves this year," he said. "We're 4-0, but that's nothing. You've still got to keep going."
Eagles coach Brent Brobston sang the praises of Korn, but he also said this win means more because it was the start to the CIC season.
"I just think it means a lot tonight," he said. "Obviously to start the conference tonight. I think that every game, to be honest with you, that they step on the court they just got to want to get after it — same thing night-after-night. But this was a big win because it was a conference game."
Brobston credited Reeves for his presence under the basket, Nick Wright for his defense on Eastbrook's Jacob Singer and Austin Compton for his transition offense.
He said his team is getting better each game, but he said they still aren't at their best.
"I just think the whole theme of everything in high school basketball is competition and competing and competing at a higher level every night," said Brobston. "We're competing, and we're getting better. There's no doubt about that, but we still have a long ways to go."
Frankton travels to Shenandoah tonight for the second of its back-to-back games this weekend.

Nail Trends: 7 Manis to Request
Here are the 7 trends Samira says are heating up her salons right now:
Samira's Tip: If you're looking to make your manicure last longer, take a close look at your personal health. Polish stays based on the health of your nail. If your nail is too oily, it will peel. If your nail is too dry, your polish will chip. Stay hydrated. If you suffer from dry nails, try taking fish oil and biotin.
Insider secret: Bethenny hadn't painted her nails in 15 years, but recently branched out (not that wildly, but she has enjoyed a little color). Which trend would you love to see Bethenny try?
Meet Samira:
Samira Asemanfar is a young entrepreneur and founder of Bellacures nail salon and TheBroot, a natural hair mask bar in Southern California. Samira says her hope "is that whenever you visit a Bellacures nail salon, you feel comfortable enough to focus on what really matters: remembering that the little girl inside of you just wants to sparkle... maybe with bright red polish?"
