It has, for some years been realised that prevention is better than cure and that proactive, rather than reactive, management brings far and away the best results for businesses. This is true for managing human resources, change policies and, just as importantly, for managing the machinery that all manufacturers use to produce their products.
All machines require regular and effective planned maintenance to operate correctly and meet their design specifications. The consequences of ineffective planned maintenance can be huge in terms of factory profitability, personnel moral and management time.
Such consequences are often overlooked or mis-calculated because machine breakdowns (almost always caused directly or indirectly by ineffective maintenance) are not just a cause of lost time and potentially missed deadlines but have a direct effect on factory throughput, efficiency and thus profitability. Therefore, the importance of effective planned maintenance to reduce the occurrence of such incidents cannot be understated.

"Salt is good, but if salt has lost its saltiness, how can you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another." --Mark 9:50, NRSV
Leader: We stand before you, God, with ready arms reaching for you.
People: We bow before you, God, with humbled hearts seeking you.
Leader: We sing before you, God, with glad voices raised to meet you.
People: We kneel before you, God, with open souls lifted to greet you.
All: God, in your glory, you have graciously reached for us. We gather this day, reaching for you. Amen.
Older adult: Some days we lean on our weariness more than we lean on God. But only through God are we sustained to help in the healing of this world.
People: Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Youth: At times we feel ignored because of our age, shunned because of our differences and judged because of our disagreements. But through your body and blood, we find a place together at one common table.
People: Our hope is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Older adult: When overwhelmed by the busyness of life, we sometimes overlook those in need. But you still our souls and remind us to look beyond ourselves.
People: Our help is in the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Youth: Our doubts often overshadow our faith. But your light is a guide to help our unbelief.
All: Our hope is in the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Amen.
Humbly we praise you, God, author of our lives! We thank you for crafting us into your story. With all you have given us, we rejoice! We recognize that so many want to know peace because they have lived at war for too long. Our children search for compassion that will give them shelter in the night, will wipe away their tears and will be their parents when they are neglected. Your people desire faith that will revive our souls, move us beyond our walls and enable us to serve the world. The world thirsts for passion, for belief in something real. By your works, your words, your love and your ways, you have taught us how to live loving our neighbors and loving you. By the bread and the cup, you have shown us how to commune with you and with those around us. We offer our hands, our feet and our hearts into your care. Take these gifts, God, and script us into your will to do your work and serve your people. Amen.

1-gallon can fruit cocktail (or equivalent — 128 ounces — in smaller cans)
Red food coloring
16-ounce tub prepared whipped topping
14-ounce bag shredded coconut
10-ounce bag mini colored marshmallows
4 (3.5-ounce) boxes banana pudding, prepared according to package directions
Vanilla wafers, for garnish
Sliced ripe bananas, for garnish
Red maraschino cherries (well-drained), for garnish
Drain the fruit cocktail and spread the fruit on a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Place the fruit in the refrigerator, uncovered, for at least 24 hours to drain completely.
In a large bowl, stir a few drops of the food coloring into the whipped topping to tint it pink. Gently fold in the drained fruit with the coconut and marshmallows. Cover and refrigerate until needed. (Makes a generous 4 quarts ambrosia, more than is needed for the remainder of the recipe; it will keep up to 3 days.)
To prepare the Bambrosinana, alternate layers of the ambrosia and banana pudding in a large bowl or trifle dish, garnishing the layers as inspired with vanilla wafers, sliced bananas and maraschino cherries. Decorate the top as desired. This can be made up to a few hours in advance (to keep the banana slices from browning, brush with a little lemon water). Makes 24 servings.

Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC): Implementation Strategy
Date: 1999
Creator: Scientific Steering Committee and International Project Office of LUCC
Description: The Implementation Strategy of the Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC) project specifies in greater detail the activities and projects that will fulfil the mandate outlined in the LUCC Science/Research Plan published in 1995. The project, a joint initiative of IGBP and IHDP, is addressing important global change questions on the local, regional and global scale. The planned and ongoing activities involve a wide community of natural and social scientists. The new understanding of land-use and land-cover change dynamics following from the work carried out under the LUCC Implementation Strategy will be of crucial importance to the global environmental change research community as well as to decision-makers at the local, regional and global levels.

Past Global Changes (PAGES) Status Report and Implementation Plan
Date: 1998
Creator: Oldfield, Frank
Description: This document summarizes progress made thus far by the Past Global Changes (PAGES) programme element of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP). The document also outlines the implementation plans for most of the Foci, Activities and Tasks currently within the PAGES remit. The plan first introduces the scope and rationale of PAGES science and explains how PAGES is organized structurally and scientifically to achieve its goals. For all of the palaeosciences relevant to IGBP goals, PAGES has sought to identify and create the organizational structures needed to support continued work and progress. Models intended to predict future environmental changes must, in order to demonstrate their effectiveness, be capable of accurately reproducing conditions known to have occurred in the past. Through the organization of coordinated national and international scientific efforts, PAGES seeks to obtain and interpret a variety of palaeoclimatic records and to provide the data essential for the validation of predictive climate models. PAGES activities include integration and intercomparison of ice, ocean and terrestrial palaeorecords and encourages the creation of consistent analytical and data-base methodologies across the palaeosciences. PAGES has already played a crucial role in the archiving, management and dissemination of palaeodata. This is fully summarized in the recently published ...

START Implementation Plan 1997-2002
Date: 1998
Creator: Fuchs, Roland
Description: The primary goals of the SysTem for Analysis, Research and Training in global change science (START), which is co-sponsored by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP); the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP); and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) are to promote regional global change science and to enhance the capacity of individuals, institutions and developing regions to undertake such research. START capacity building initiatives include the recognition that human capacity building is much more than training and that, as with all development, sustainable development is best. Once-off training exercises are easy to organize, but are the least effective method of capacity enhancement and result in large cost/benefit ratios. In contrast, sustained development of human capacity through continual involvement with research maximizes efficiency and minimizes the cost/benefit ratio. START seeks to enhance regional global change research while at the same time enhancing the individual and institutional capacity to conduct such research. The details as to how START operates, and how it plans to encompass its vision and meet its objectives are given in the START Implementation Plan.

The Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study: Science Plan and Implementation Strategy
Date: 2004
Creator: Broadgate, Wendy
Description: SOLAS (Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study) is a new international research initiative that has as its goal: To achieve quantitative understanding of the key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and the atmosphere, and of how this coupled system affects and is affected by climate and environmental change. Achievement of this goal is important in order to understand and quantify the role that ocean-atmosphere interactions play in the regulation of climate and global change. The domain of SOLAS is focussed on processes at the air-sea interface and includes a natural emphasis on the atmospheric and upper-ocean boundary layers, while recognising that some of the processes to be studied will, of necessity, be linked to significantly greater height and depth scales. SOLAS research will cover all ocean areas including coastal seas and ice covered areas. A fundamental characteristic of SOLAS is that the research is not only interdisciplinary (involving biogeochemistry, physics, mathematical modelling, etc.), but also involves closely coupled studies requiring marine and atmospheric scientists to work together. Such research will require a shift in attitude within the academic and funding communities, both of which are generally organised on a medium-by-medium basis in most countries.

Predicting Global Change Impacts on Mountain Hydrology and Ecology: Integrated Catchment Hydrology/Altitudinal Gradient Studies: A workshop report
Date: 1997
Creator: Becker, Alfred
Description: Documentation resulting from an international workshop in Kathmandu, Nepal, 30 March - 2 April 1996. The following themes were addressed by the working groups: 1. "Role of ecology and hydrology for the sustainable development in mountain regions" (the "human dimensions"). 2. "Coupled ecological and hydrological studies along altitudinal gradients in mountain regions", with a sub-group dealing with the "Assessment of the spatial distribution pattern of basic water balance components." 3. "Impacts of global change on the ecology and hydrology in mountain regions", with a sub-group on the "Identification of global change impacts on hydrology and ecology in high mountain areas."

Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone: Science Plan and Implementation Strategy
Date: 2005
Creator: Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone
Description: Coastal zones play a key role in Earth System functioning, by contributing significantly to the life support systems of most societies. Human activities modifying riverine hydrology and riverine material fluxes to the coastal zone, have increased in both scale and rate of change in the last 200 years. The underlying processes that drive changes to coastal systems occur at a multiplicity of temporal and spatial scales. These changes alter the availability of ecosystem goods and services. However, disciplinary fragmentation impedes our ability to understand the regional and global changes that affect coastal systems, and thus limits our ability to guide management and decision making. Progress has been made in understanding the changes in Earth System processes that affect the coastal zone, and the role of coastal systems in global change. This includes identifying proxies that describe the state of coastal systems under existing conditions and change scenarios. Typologies have been developed to assist in the interpolation of results into areas where primary information is lacking. This has enabled a first-order up-scaling to a global synthesis.

Public Health Service Act
Date: 1974
Creator: United States. Congress
Description: The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) was established to protect the quality of drinking water in the U.S. This law focuses on all waters actually or potentially designed for drinking use, whether from above ground or underground sources. The Act authorizes EPA to establish minimum standards to protect tap water and requires all owners or operators of public water systems to comply with these primary (health-related) standards. The 1996 amendments to SDWA require that EPA consider a detailed risk and cost assessment, and best available peer-reviewed science, when developing these standards. State governments, which can be approved to implement these rules for EPA, also encourage attainment of secondary standards (nuisance-related). Under the Act, EPA also establishes minimum standards for state programs to protect underground sources of drinking water from endangerment by underground injection of fluids.

Effects of Climate Change on Energy Production and Use in the United States
Date: February 2008
Creator: U.S. Climate Change Science Program and the Subcommittee on Global Change Research
Description: This document, part of the Synthesis and Assessment Products described in the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) Strategic Plan. Climate affects the design, construction, safety, operations, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure and systems. The prospect of a changing climate raises critical questions regarding how alterations in temperature, precipitation, storm events, and other aspects of the climate could affect the nation's roads, airports, rail, transit systems, pipelines, ports, and waterways. Phase I of this regional assessment of climate change and its potential impacts on transportation systems addresses these questions for the region of the U.S. central Gulf Coast between Galveston, Texas and Mobile, Alabama. This region contains multimodal transportation infrastructure that is critical to regional and national transportation services. Historical trends and future climate scenarios were used to establish a context for examining the potential effects of climate change on all major transportation modes within the region. Climate changes anticipated during the next 50 to 100 years for the central Gulf Coast include warming temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, and increased storm intensity. The warming of the oceans and decline of polar ice sheets is expected to accelerate the rate of sea level rise globally. The effects of sea level ...

Summary for Policymakers:Scientific-Technical Analyses of Impacts, Adaptations and Mitigation of Climate Change - IPCC Working Group II
Date: 1995
Creator: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Description: This summary of assessment provides scientific, technical and economic information that can be used, inter alia, in evaluating whether the projected range of plausible impacts constitutes "dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system," as referred to in Article 2 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and in evaluating adaptation and mitigation options that could be used in progressing towards the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC

For those that prefer the poetic approach.
Blue Feelings Around the 2010 Field
We need an Ace and I believe we have one,
But in order to win you need to win by one run!
With no power in the bats and no speed to the base,
The other teams have rubbed it in our face.
Oh Dodger Stadium with the cries of hopes and dreams,
Was 2010 really as bad as it seems?
Dear Ned I'd love a starting rotation please,
And hold on the pitchers called Ortiz.
A team you tried to build with dreadlocks and hope,
It seems like there was some smoking of dope.
But fans of the Blue commit that one fateful sin,
We love the team and the man called Vin.
Some players do earn a heap of praise,
But others too have seen better days.
We love you man! At first base is Loney,
But compared to Pujols and Votto you make me feel like Baloney .
DeSecond base was a bust all year, we've never felt fine,
See ya DeWitt, Theriot's no Kent and Beliard weighs 209!
The Beard was shaved and what grew back was just older,
Not much more production and nothing more bolder.
The ShortStop role had Raffy at times,
Tearin' it up so good it seemed like a crime.
The backup role became a star on the infield,
Thanks little Jamey but our fate was already sealed.
The outfield I believed on April 5th was the best in MLB,
A few months later and I believed our outfield was MIA you see.
Manny come on! Have a great life with your Dodger money,
It's so sad how pathetic you became, so sad, not funny.
Mr. Silver Slugger and Gold Glove has lost the love.
Caught stealing too much from the man up above.
Mr. Clutch was out of gear this year
A Triple Crown leader now seems a bit weird.
Watching Broxton made me feel like an Ox,
I counted over Half a Dozen Blown Op's.
A few players brought me joy on which to rely,
A few moments with Kershaw, Jamey, Raffy and Ely.
The moments as you know were few and far between,
Better days for the Dodgers have already been seen.
We stumbled a few players over to the All-Star game,
Not knowing after that the season would never be the same.
Broxton, Ethier, Furcal and Kuo.
2010 All-Star players before the season began to blow.
Oh Glory of times when the playoffs were near,
No Longer could we say the good times were here.
But as we begin to chant, "wait till next year" and dream,
Remember that baseball is more than it seems.
Thank those that play it like the man named John Lindsey,
Because a perfect player Is more of a whimsy.
I'll buy more tickets(next year) and sit in the crowd
And don't be surprised if I cry out loud,
"Don't Stop believin' " just never gets old,
Because what is True Blue must be made of pure Gold.
A heart for baseball and a love of Dodger Blues,
Makes life sweeter, win or lose.
(Thanks to Phil Gurnee for inspiration and to the 2010 Dodgers for the material! Go Dodgers!)

3 comments to "EXTRAS – DELETED SCENE – Cade vs. The Bloody Benders"
I am glad that I came to your website, not just today, but since I discovered it. I enjoy these "deleted scenes" and online exclusives. You should definitely keep these coming until the release of the third book. I really admire and respect the amount of research you and your team do to tie in all these weird/sometimes unknown tidbits of history and make them fit into your story. It's truly amazing!!
[...] First, you can read the first chapter of RED, WHITE, AND BLOOD right here. Or check out this deleted scene from the book. [...]
I didn't realise the Benders were a real family until I read the comment above. I thought you'd just made them up! Are they well-known in America, like the Hatfields and McCoys family (who I had also never heard of until the TV series came over here – UK – last year)?

On Tuesday, voters in the Lubbock School District will vote on a historic bond package. 8,211 people voted early for the $98.8 million bond package, the largest in LISD history. NewsChannel 11 broke down the package and asked voters whether or not they're supporting it.
"My kids are three and one right now but they will be in the district so that's what I'm looking forward to," says a parent of future LISD students who says he has a reason to vote 'yes' on the bond package.
But others aren't as convinced. "I've already voted no," says retired LISD teacher Keith Anderson. He explains that the all or nothing theme made him vote against the package. "I would have liked to have the chance to vote for some, against some," he says.
The bond is broken down into three categories:
But Bill Bouton says no to technology. "I think a computer at every desk is nonsense," he says. Christy Stephens, Coronado teacher, disagrees. "It's a need, there's still not enough computer labs for my class of 30."
"We closed several in East Lubbock so that's what I don't think is fair," comments a woman who says she isn't convinced the package should be passed.
The bond has received some big name support. "I'm a big Bobby Knight fan, I'd vote for it on account of Bobby Knight," says a woman who says she has seen the endorsement by The General.
But if this package is passed, what will it mean to you, the taxpayer? Using the average home value in LISD of $84,411, administrators say the monthly property tax increase will cost between $2.60 to $5.21 per month: an increase of about $65 a year.
"I own my home and it's hard to pay all these property taxes and instead of going down they go up. I'm just totally against it," says a woman who says she's tired of paying taxes.
"I think it's just one more thing, it's not going to send anybody to the poor house to pay another $65," speculates a voter who thinks the package is worthwhile.
"We need the package but we don't need the taxes," says another voter.
"I'm for it, I have to be since my wife's a teacher," explains another voter as he laughs.
Since the improvements will not be complete for five years, if passed, the tax rate increase will be phased in over a three to four year period and will not affect the 2004 to 2005 school year.

Price Paid: 599
Ok so I have been camping for 40 years now and have gone through several generations of tents. I also have about 10 tents over the years.
After doing a lot of research I decided on this tent as a light tent to accommodate my large family of 5 kids. I bought two of them and used them in rain, wind, and sun. These are the best tents I have ever owned.
Incredibly Light ( 4.2 lbs), open and dry. Lots of room all the places to store Well made etc. Wow. Happy owner and happy family. Easy to set up and take down. Wow is all I can say. The technology used to create these vs what was on the market 5 years ago is amazing.

Fans Go At It In the Parking Lot Following Broncos, Chargers Game (Video)
Apparently San Diego fans are just not capable of acting like humans before, during, or after a sporting event of any kind.This time, Charger fans take their bad behavior on the road to Denver's Mile High Stadium. Perhaps driven to violence because they're forced to root for Phillip Rivers every week, these Charger fans took out their frustrations on a man clad in the jersey of their nemesis: Peyton Manning.
Not long after the Broncos sent the Chargers packing with a 24-17 victory, these two Nobel Prize candidates brawled with a hefty man in a Manning jersey. All three were promptly arrested.

Designer Profile: Elissa McGowan
Meet one of Australia's bright young things who will be debuting at MBFWA this year.
If you were #frothing over Byron Spencer's shoot using new label Elissa McGowan, you'll probably be pretty keen to read our interview with the up-and-coming Sydney-based designer. Elissa recently graduated from The Fashion Design Studio (the same school which birthed the likes of Romance Was Born and Dion Lee from its metaphorical loins) and was selected as one of six students to show as part of the Innovators show at MBFWA 2013. Here, we interview the 23-year-old designer to find out more about where she came from, where she's going and what studying fashion is really like.
Alice Cavanagh: When did you first become interested in fashion?
Elissa McGowan: When I was little, maybe 6 or 7. I used to dream of being a fashion designer. I had no idea how I would get there but I knew I wanted to be one. I guess I am in the process of figuring that out right now.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in a sleepy coastal town in mid-north New South Wales.
Who were your idols when you were younger?
Cher from Clueless. I wanted her computerised wardrobe so bad!
What was the greatest thing you learnt while studying at East Sydney?
East Sydney is such an amazing school. I was fortunate enough to study under Nicholas Huxley who has been head of the school for so long. The greatest thing I learnt while studying there was always trust in yourself, before anyone else. Along the way, a lot of people will want to give you their two cents. I had an instance somewhere in the middle of my studies, where my confidence was wavering. I was putting too much energy into pleasing others. It was a great learning curve for me to have, as I've learnt not to focus so much on what others may think. As soon as you lose that connection to your ideas and vision, your work will suffer.
How much do they educate you about the industry and starting your own label?
The teachers do an amazing job at getting us ready to go out into the real (fashion) world. They put us through the ranks and it can get pretty competitive at times. You learn to develop a thick skin as marking days can be a bit of a reality check. The teachers are known to tell you exactly what they think of your work. It is such great preparation for the criticism you can expect if you are to go out and have your own label. We took subjects in business and marketing, but I think the work experience subject is the best education you will get in regards to the way the industry actually works.
You have completed quite a few internships, with Lover and Dion Lee, for example, what were some of the important things you learnt?
Interning for Dion was a really great experience. He always takes the time to make you feel welcome and appreciated in the studio, which is lovely. Not only is he levelheaded in his success, but also he is nurturing. Earlier in the year, I was feeling frustrated about where to source fabrics in Sydney after returning from a fairly unsuccessful sourcing trip to Hong Kong and China. After explaining my situation to Dion, he simply told me to never expect someone to give you the answers and that you have to be the one who goes out looking for them yourself because they won't be handed to you. From that point on, I reassessed the situation and worked with what I had access to. It was a great lesson to learn: to always be persistent in your endeavors.
If you could work with anyone/learn from any other designer in the whorl who would it be?
Nicholas Ghesquiere. He is so clever!
What do you reference most in your work?
I'm always really drawn to the organic lines you can find in nature. I think I've developed my aesthetic (which is definitely still developing) around the lines I find in art, nature, and other disciplines of design. Francis Bacon and Dale Frank always get my mind going with their use of colour balance and fluidity.
Do you have a specialty when it comes to designing? What are you most interested in?
I'm quite interested in fabrication and approaching it from a new angle. As a new designer you don't have access to the same resources as, say, Miuccia Prada would, so you learn to develop things differently. Limitations like this push you creatively, and help you develop an aesthetic that is unique. For my graduate collection, I focused on a few different surface techniques: engineered laser cutting, bonding and digital prints. There were also a few pieces that looked at the use of organic line within sculpted pieces. Fashions speak!
How are you preparing for your MBAFW show?
I'm in the process of moving into my first studio. Thank God I don't have to work out of my dimly lit lounge room anymore! I'm really excited to have a new space to work in. As I will be showing my graduation collection but developing it further, I'm in the process of editing the looks I have so far and building from there. It's a bit of a challenge to come back to something that I began developing almost a year ago, so I'm trying to bring some new ideas into the collection. At the moment, I'm developing some textile samples to be sent off to India and working on some new silhouettes.
Can you give us any hints about the collection?
Initially I looked at the ideology of surrealism, which led me to focus largely on the art of Francis Bacon and the mindset of the late 60s. The colour palette is quite controlled with white, nude and peach being the focal colour range with strong accents of navy. I wanted to approach the fabrications used in 60s couture but in a new way. I used a lot of silk and high-shine fabrics but didn't want them to feel as precious as they did in the 60s, so I bonded and sculpted them so they were more contemporary. I wanted some of the pieces to almost look like they could have been painted, so the lines are quite fluid but the silhouettes are focused.

News: Waka Flocka Flame Names His Top 5 Favorite Rappers, "Nas' Lyrics Will Educate You"
Monday, Feb 7, 2011 5:06PM
Southern rapper Waka Flocka Flame has revealed his Top 5 all-time favorite rappers ranging from the late Tupac Shakur and Eazy-E to Nas and Jay-Z.
Waka's initial Top 3 included West Coast legends Pac and Eazy.
"As I feel, in this current state of mind, I would say Tupac. Why Tupac; because, I can relate to all of Tupac's music... After, 'Pac, it's my boy, Eazy-E. I would say Eazy-E; because, he's just gangsta! He just had that, 'I don't give a f**k attitude, 'I'm Eazy. You gotta love me for me, or else you can throw it out the window.' ... I would say Nas. Nas' lyrics will educate you. You'll listen to Nas and be like, 'Godd*mn, that was some clever a** s***.' It will make you think and question life. If you haven't been educated, he will educate you on his theories. He is a positive person; so, I respect Nas." (All Hip Hop)
Aside from Jay-Z, Waka also included himself in his Top 5 list.
"I would probably say--[pause] I don't know. I don't know. D*mn, that's hard. For number four, I'll say Waka Flocka. I love Waka Flocka, that's my favorite rapper! My fifth rapper, I would say, Jay-Z, because of his legacy, his swag, his position as a businessman. He wasn't afraid to change. He's just Jay-Z." (All Hip Hop)
Last fall, Waka named Tupac's "Keep Ya Head Up" as his favorite motivational song.
"Man, I heard this [Pac record] right here and on some real G sh*t though, on some real n*gga sh*t though, real talk, when this song came on, we ain't have it all, we were struggling," Flocka said about being a child motivated by the late rapper. "I would rock my cousin's shoes, or the shoes he didn't want. Wearing my uncle's big a** shoes that were like three sizes bigger. Gotta go to church every Sunday. Going and getting three loafs of bread every Sunday or Saturday morning by the Chinese store -- my grandma used to send like four grand kids to go do it. We all had Wonder Bread -- real talk though, the number one song is Tupac, 'Keep Ya Head Up.' If you're struggling and you feel down, depressed, your chin's down. Lift it up man, throw on that 'Keep Ya Head Up' [and] I'll bet you'll have some sh*t to think about then." (Hip Hop Nation)
Recently, Flocka's mother talked about her son's admiration for Pac and his decision to name his debut Flockaveli after the rapper's moniker, Makaveli.
"People took [his album title] like he's comparing hisself to Tupac. Never that. He know he's not Tupac. You have people that want to be other people, like it's not that. When people are so limited, they stay stuck. l just told him yesterday. "Why you staying stuck?" He did grow up around guns and drugs but he's still a fun person. You have to learn how to channel all of that energy into having fun. It doesn't have to be about shooting and killing. In the hood these are things that you do experience, but he wasn't raised in the projects or some real hard places. He chose to hang out in stuff like that. Those are the places that he wanted to be at. That's where he felt comfortable, where he belonged." (VIBE)

"I am not a traditional student. As a returning adult student, after having been in the workforce for many years, I have come to understand the importance of a formal education. Winning the IFSA Foundation Tommy DePaola Scholarship Award relieved some of the burden left from leaving my career and allowed me to study aboard." -- Jason Logie, Pennsylvania State University
"As a future tourism professor, I hope to advance tourism curriculum by bridging the gap between theories and skills needed in practice.

If you're a computer, this "mentality" works. The only vocabulary a computer understands, or needs to understand, is "0" or "1". Two options -- that's it. Sometimes, it can be that simple for humans. But often, the challenges we face in work and relationships (and life in general) are too complex and nuanced for only two seemingly opposing solutions.
I would much rather surround myself with people who choose an Ampersand Mentality. These people believe in, search for, and pursue the and solutions. They have the ability to see where black and white blend together to become gray. I find that the best solutions tend to fall in the gray area, where creativity, courage, and humility reside.
People with an Ampersand Mentality realize that you can:
- Focus on people and profits.
- Staunchly disagree and be respectful.
- Confront inappropriate behavior and be compassionate.
- Support a political party and strive for bipartisan policies.
- Look out for your own needs and serve others.
- Create a fun and productive work environment.
- Do what's needed in the present and work toward the future.
Either/or can make solutions seem simple. And can make them more successful.

The staff at Warrior Field didn't have enough zeros to hang up on the manual scoreboard on Friday. In the end, Cal State Stanislaus needed just the number one to win an epic battle, 1-0, in 13 innings over Cal State Dominguez Hills.
Three Warriors from the men's and women's basketball teams received some of the league's top honors this week after having successful runs in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.
The Cal State Stanislaus women's basketball wrapped up their 2010-11 season after a 76-55 loss to Cal Poly Pomona in round one of the California Collegiate Athletic Association Basketball Championship tournament.
Humboldt State remains undefeated at home at Lumberjack Arena as the Jacks used a strong second half to beat Cal State Stanislaus, 68-54, in a first round game of the CCAA Basketball Championships conference tournament.
In an amazing display of dominance on both ends of the court, the Warriors left little doubt that they are going CCAA-dancing as they blew out Cal State Monterey Bay, 78-58, Friday night in the Kelp Bed in Seaside.
The Cal State Stanislaus women's basketball team wrapped up regular season play Friday with a 67-56 loss at Cal State Monterey Bay in a California Collegiate Athletic Association contest.
Former track and field standout Undrae Walker returns to the spotlight once again as he will be inducted into the USTFCCCA Athletes Hall of Fame this spring, making him the third Stanislaus athlete to receive this honor.
Cal State Stanislaus guard Andreanna Marshall was named the California Collegiate Athletic Association's women's basketball Player of the Week after leading the Warriors to a pair of key wins last weekend, including an upset over the West Region's top team - Cal Poly Pomona.
After having one of its best seasons in school history that included a run in the conference tournament, the Cal State Stanislaus women's soccer team announced Thursday the signing of one of the best and biggest recruiting classes ever.
The Cal State Stanislaus men's basketball team defeated Cal State East Bay 81-64 in Hayward for the second time this season on Saturday night in a California Collegiate Athletic Association contest.
The Cal State Stanislaus women's basketball team fell to Cal State East Bay 67-50 in Hayward on Saturday night in a California Collegiate Athletic Association contest.
By the time the seventh inning rolled around, the fans in the stands at Warrior Field were getting a little antsy and eager to leave, even though there were plenty of baseball and sunshine left during Friday afternoon's nonconference game between Cal State Stanislaus and visiting Academy of Art.
After another workout session, Andrew Stueve sat in the dugout as his Cal State Stanislaus baseball teammates were perfecting their batting techniques and fielding grounders for the 100th time. The senior, who returns as the Warriors' No. 1 pitcher, was multitasking. He was talking about the upcoming season while looking at all the potential in front of him.
Two great pitching performances and solid defense resulted in the Cal State Stanislaus softball team going 2-0 at the Mizuno Best of West Invitational on Sunday, the final day of the two-day tournament at Pedretti Park.
Behind by as many 17 points in the second half, the Cal State Stanislaus men's basketball team used a 12-0 run to challenge Sonoma State, but it was too little too late as the Seawolves held on to pull off a 67-59 win on Saturday night in Rohnert Park.
According to a poll of league coaches, Cal State Stanislaus has been picked to claim the 2014 California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) women's soccer title, it was announced Tuesday.
The 7th annual Running of the Warriors event saw nearly 250 runners - including members of Turlock and Pitman highs cross country teams - come out to launch the start of the California State University, Stanislaus cross country season.
Last year's defensive coordinator for Turlock High, Eddie Abassi, has found a new home with Modesto Junior College's football team as the new inside linebacker coach.
There aren't many local football players who get the opportunity to play Division I college ball, but count Patrick Green in as one of the lucky few. A 2014 Turlock High graduate, Green entered his senior year as the 45th ranked tight end in the nation according to ESPN and earned All-Conference and All-State honors by season's end.

The "Human Barbie" Reveals Her Racist Side in GQ May 2014
She's known as the "Human Barbie" due to her extremely tiny figure and plastic surgery procedures, and now GQ readers get an inside look at Valeria Lukyanova's personality in the May 2014 issue.
The publication's editor Michael Idov took a trip to Ukraine to meet the 28-year-old model everyone can't stop talking about, but unfortunately found a woman who is not only obsessed with plastic surgery, but is also extremely racist.
Highlights from Mr. Idov and Miss Lukyanova's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit GQ!
On the "Human Barbie":
"I realize that just like everyone reading about Human Barbie, I had had a simple narrative prepared in my head: A small-town girl grows up obsessed with dolls, etc. Instead, I get a racist space alien. Her brand-new hair extensions, the color of Chardonnay, hang straight down, reaching her nonexistent hips. Her mouth is frozen in a vacant half-smile; the teeth are small and almost translucent. She's holding a handbag shaped like a lantern. A one-eyed smiling-skull pin perches on her sky blue top, pushed to the side by the veritable shelf of silicone around which her whole body seems arranged. It could be that the world and I have misjudged the Human Barbie in a fundamental way. Her steady drift from reality and into the twenty-first dimension is not about submissiveness, fame, or snagging a husband. It could be about finding a way out, however random, bizarre, and costly the route appears from the outside. It could be about gaining some measure of freedom."
On her warped views about beauty:
"Everyone wants a slim figure. Everyone gets breasts done. Everyone fixes up their face if it's not ideal, you know? Everyone strives for the golden mean. It's global now."
On race-mixing and plastic surgery:
"For example, a Russian marries an Armenian, they have a kid, a cute girl, but she has her dad's nose. She goes and files it down a little, and it's all good. Ethnicities are mixing now, so there's degeneration, and it didn't used to be like that. Remember how many beautiful women there were in the 1950s and 1960s, without any surgery? And now, thanks to degeneration, we have this. I love the Nordic image myself. I have white skin; I am a Nordic type—perhaps a little Eastern Baltic, but closer to Nordic."
On her future family plans:
"It's unacceptable to me. The very idea of having children brings out this deep revulsion in me. I'd rather die from torture because the worst thing in the world is to have a family lifestyle."

As with many of the saints, however, we are able to capture the relationship which Nicholas had with God through the admiration which Christians have had for him—an admiration expressed in the colorful stories which have been told and retold through the centuries.
Perhaps the best-known story about Nicholas concerns his charity toward a poor man who was unable to provide dowries for his three daughters of marriageable age. Rather than see them forced into prostitution, Nicholas secretly tossed a bag of gold through the poor man's window on three separate occasions, thus enabling the daughters to be married. Over the centuries, this particular legend evolved into the custom of gift-giving on the saint's feast. In the English-speaking countries, St. Nicholas became, by a twist of the tongue, Santa Claus—further expanding the example of generosity portrayed by this holy bishop.

Top-ranked recipe named "Breakfast Shake (Alias Kps Breakfast-On-The-Run!)"
Try this Breakfast Shake (Alias Kps Breakfast-On-The-Run!) recipe, or contribute your own. "Drinks" and "Breakfast" are two tags used to describe Breakfast Shake (Alias Kps Breakfast-On-The-Run!).
Tofu makes it frothy and thick. Place all ingredients in blender. Blend for 1 minute or until frothy. Its a great "breakfast-on-the-run". Try using 1/3 cup milk and 2/3 cup orange juice with plain yogurt. Or substitute a raw egg for the yogurt. (Either supply you with the protein you need to start the day.) Add a whole grain muffin (carbohydrates) to keep you going well past lunch time. Posted to recipelu-digest by "Diane Geary."

The Fitz Files

Ms Julia Gillard and I share the same publisher, Nikki Christer, and at lunch last week Nikki mentioned that the eagle has landed - that the manuscript of our erstwhile prime minister has landed on her desk. Even allowing for the usual happy burbling publishers do when reading words they have paid a fair penny for, Nikki seemed genuinely thrilled at how good it is. It is all Ms Gillard's work, with no ghost writer, and covers only her time as prime minister and the fascinating period leading up to it. The book will be released in October.
Picture of efficiency
Ten years ago, TFF described how stunned I was - after realising at midnight on a Thursday that my passport, which I needed to fly to New Zealand the following morning at dawn, was actually in the hands of the Chinese Embassy awaiting a visa - to have a fresh passport in my hands 90 minutes later through the smooth efficiency of the Australian Passport Office.
On Thursday, I was suddenly exposed to something that surprised me even more. Heading into what used to be the RTA at Chatswood to renew my licence, at lunchtime, I was expecting the usual infuriating wait.
Instead, at the newly refurbished and rebadged facility - now Roads and Maritime Services - I, and all new arrivals, was met at the door by a charming attendant, asked my business, and steered to the right desk, where there was no queue! Seven minutes later - even allowing for the kerfuffle in the item below - all done! Bravo, Roads Minister Duncan Gay, or whoever it is in your department that has ushered in such a revolution of prompt efficiency.
…and no nonsense!
Just one thing, though. For the photo for my licence, I was asked to remove my bandanna. For the hell of it, I decided to follow the lead of Niko Alm, the Austrian atheist who, in 2008, decided it was discriminatory that the only exemptions to the ban on headwear in licence shots were for religious people wearing headgear such as hijabs, and so took the government to court. Alm said he wished it to be known that he was a ''Pastafarian'' - that is, a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster - and after three years won the case, allowing him to wear a pasta-strainer on his head for his licence shot. In Chatswood on Thursday, the lady confirmed that in NSW exceptions were made for hijabs, so I said I wanted to wear my bandanna for my religion.
''And what is that?'' she asked.
''The Me religion,'' I said, deadpan.
She conferred with a colleague, and came back.
''OK, you can wear it,'' she said.
No court case, no nonsense. Bravo!
Joke of the week
A young woman called at a hospital information desk and asked to see the upturn.
''I think you mean intern, don't you?'' asks the duty nurse.
''Yes, I guess so,'' she replies. ''I want a contamination.''
''You mean 'examination'?''
''I suppose. Anyway, I want to go to the fraternity ward.''
''I'm sure you mean the maternity ward . . ?''
''Probably. Upturn, intern, contamination, examination, fraternity, maternity - what the hell's the difference? All I know is that I haven't demonstrated for two months, and I think I'm stagnant.''
They said it...
''You know what? We don't have the first freaking CLUE what happened to our plane, and haven't had from the start''
Malaysia Airlines has NOT released this as a statement over the missing Flight MH370, but it would have saved a lot of grief.
''This is set up like a high-achieving, measurement-driven, totally target-oriented company ... We are out to defeat slavery, we are not out to feel good.''
West Australian iron ore magnate Andrew Forrest on the Global Freedom Network, which he helped found – a new group led by the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar in Egypt.
''Fifty cent surcharge for being on the phone at the counter. It's rude!''
Sign at Bella Natural Food Co cafe on the Central Coast.
''I understand people are in a rush, it's a busy world. [But] we're asking them a lot of questions. 'Do you have sugar?' 'What's your name?' 'What's going on?' 'How's the beach?' You can't do that with someone on the phone.''
Luke Proust, manager of the cafe, who put the sign up.
"Maybe one day. One's enough at the moment."
Prince William on future royal offspring.
''We did not pay any attention to it. The Royal Thai Air Force only looks after any threats against our country, so anything that did not look like a threat to us, we simply look at it without taking actions.''
Thailand's air force spokesman Air Vice-Marshal Montol Suchookorn explaining that, although Thailand's military radar detected a plane that may have been Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 just minutes after the jetliner's communications went down, it didn't share the information with Malaysia because it wasn't specifically asked for it.
''Well, that's a harsh word but probably.''
Australian Water Holdings director John Rippon when asked before ICAC about the hundreds of thousands of dollars AWH secretly billed Sydney Water for its attempts to expand into Queensland and whether that would be fraud.
"What appeared to have happened was a response by him to his own impulses on a more or less opportunistic basis. He sought comfort elsewhere.''
Craig Thomson's barrister Greg James QC, saying that Thomson spent union money on prostitutes when he was confronted by "moments of need or desire" during his time as HSU national secretary, when his relationship with his then wife was breaking down.
''The culture [in Australia] is very similar to the US. There's no language barrier. The foods are the same. The diets are very similar.''
Diamondbacks assistant manager Craig Shipley. Exactly! Will you bastards stop copying us, please?

How's about a little Egg Nog for the holidays! Happy Holidays mmamania fans!
Thanks to all who helped clear the shelves this past weekend for our Blorch! Shop Black Friday sale! We sold out a few more sizes (forever), but I'm still determined to clear house of all remaining items! This is the cheapest most items have ever been, and FREE SHIPPING ($30 or more) is still active! Sale still going on TODAY (Cyber Monday) and at least through the next week... while supplies last! Since I hadn't drawn up a new Sunday Funny in quite a while, I thought I'd take the boredom out of another Blorch! Shop update and revisit our old "mascot" guy in festive form (by the way, I don't think we ever properly named him... ideas?). Head on over to the Blorch! Shop, get a fun piece of Twinkie Town attire (or tote) and save some holiday buckaroos!

MOODY, Ala. (AP) - Students and teachers at an Alabama school had to work together to get students to school after the tires were flattened on a fleet of school buses.
Moody Junior High School Principal Cassandra Taylor says drivers discovered that the tires had been flattened on all school buses before school Thursday morning. WBRC-TV reports (http://bit.ly/11mrBco) that around 25 buses were involved.
The school sent out messages to parents, who worked with the school to get the students to school.
Moody is about 20 miles northeast of Birmingham.

This page will consist of phtographs, or clipart made from photos, and drawings with New Year motives such as the old year saying goodbye, and the happy New Year baby.
There will also be New Years graphics, happy New Year clipart and New Years Eve Clipart such as firework, indoor firework, rockets, hats and a lot more.
As we are entering year 2015, some of the clipart and drawings will be celebrating year 2015, some will be without year.
I have made some of the pictures pretty big, and some I have made to be broad enough to be good to use as headers for letters, blogs, invitations, art projects, scrapbooks and greeting cards.
If the background on the graphic seems white, it will be either because it is white, and the pictures are made in JPEG. Or they are made in GIF/PNG-format and have a transparent background.
Then the quality is not optimal, but they will be good to use on different backgrounds, as you can se in this example:
Whether they are in GIF/PNG and with transparent background or in JPEG and with white background is often easy to see. But as a help I will write it beside the name of the picture, if there should be doubt.
I hope you find some clipart that you like. Feel free to use it in any way you like, except for the two limitations:
There are only two limitations on your use of this original clip art. You may not overuse it, i.e. if you want to use more than ten pieces of my clipart in one project or webpage, please contact me. And there is no using these clip arts for negative purposes.
You might also want to take a look at the page with and about New Year Cards, also on this website Clipartqueen.

In interview with Glamour Magazine, out today, Pres Obama says to most Americans, "access to contraception should be a no-brainer."—
Mark Knoller (@markknoller) October 02, 2012
It seems that #LadyParts are front and center in the president's mind today. The Obama campaign thought better of an e-card posted to its official Tumblr page after women objected to, well, objectification. Conservative women tweeted that they'd be voting with their brains and not their girly bits, thank you very much. And now, as Obama's interview with Glamour hits stands, it seems the president still sees dancing vaginas rather than women with brains who can handle their own contraceptive choices — and who know what the word "access" means.
That's right, vote w/our #ladyparts because access to contraception is a "no-brainer" @BarackObama guy is losing it! @markknoller—
Karen Braun (@SpunkyBraun) October 02, 2012
.@markknoller Is it news to Obama that access to contraceptives is already a no-brainer? Anybody not already have "access"?—
Champion Capua (@ChampionCapua) October 02, 2012
@markknoller Agree, you go down to 7-11 and buy a condom. Why should I have to pay for it? That is a no-brainer.—
Steve Covington (@RaftingTheEther) October 02, 2012
Dear @BarackObama, I am a woman who has NEVER had a problem "accessing" contraception. It's a #nobrainer, actually. cc: @markknoller—
Lilia (@LiliaEP) October 02, 2012
@markknoller So is it the president's position that "access" to something is denied if your neighbor doesn't foot the bill for it? #tcot—
Corr Comm (@corrcomm) October 02, 2012
@markknoller Would some please show where access to contraception is an issue? The left loves their straw man falsehoods!—
Robert Allen Bonelli (@robertbonelli) October 02, 2012
People are also taking issue with the president's claim that nations can be judged by their treatment of girls and women.
MT @markknoller Pres tells Glamour he believes mother's observation: a country can best be judged by "how it treats its girls & its women."—
Jackie Murphy (@jmurph488) October 02, 2012
@markknoller An interesting comment considering Obama just reduced all women to their parts and renamed all of us "Julia".—
Suzanne Pham (@suzannepham) October 02, 2012
@markknoller "girls & women" or Giant Vaginas?—
The Morning Spew (@TheMorningSpew) October 02, 2012
Why then is BO so keen on Muslim countries? RT @markknoller: Pres tells Glamour he still believes (cont) tl.gd/jgmmcf—
Merle (@MerlePearl) October 02, 2012
@markknoller Holy Crap! Then why are still doing business with any country in the Middle East.—
Eric Hardie (@HardieEric) October 02, 2012
@markknoller Do you think he would say this to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, instead of to a reporterette from a fashion magazine?—
Thomas J Smith (@BntnPrkAvenger) October 02, 2012
What a ridiculous question. When would the president find time to sit down and speak with a foreign leader? We don't imagine the interviewers at Glamour asked about America's treatment of its very youngest girls, though.
@markknoller @MelissaTweets Too bad he does not care about unborn girls that only have 1 month left in womb before birth.—
Dersu Uzala (@Dersu62) October 02, 2012
@markknoller Yeah @barackobama what about its unborn girls… oh yeah, they don't count.—
Jim Kutkowski (@jimkutkowski) October 02, 2012
@markknoller How does #PresidentLadyParts feel about sex selective abortion?—
Steve Covington (@RaftingTheEther) October 02, 2012
Don't look for President Eye Candy on the cover, though. That honor went to Taylor Swift.
Pres Obama's picture not on Glamour's cover. Taylor Swift is, with story: "Stuff She Only Tells Her Girlfriends." Hard for a pres to beat.—
Mark Knoller (@markknoller) October 02, 2012
@markknoller Oh come on he's the best eye candy for women. Taylor Swift aint got nothin' on him. Just ask The View.—

Okay, I want to get this out in the open. Yes, the Chiefs have a STELLAR defense, that is allowing the least amount of points in the NFL. That is no contest, they are probably the best defense in the AFC, only behind Seattle overall in the NFL. With that being said, I want to talk about how the offense really is and what it's projected out being. Let's dive right into it, shall we?
Okay, first things first. The Chiefs rank 17th in yards per game, 347.3 ypg. That's right around the middle of the pack. Which is ahead of such prolific organizations like the Cowboys, 49ers, and even the defending Super Bowl Champion Ravens. I will admit that the passing game is where the Chiefs lack, in term of yards, ranking only 24th with 226.5 per game. Still, Alex Smith is on pace to throw 3828 yards, which would be a personal record high for him.
The team is a near top 10 rushing team, averaging 120.8 ypg, which is 13th. That isn't as much we would like, as this team was once the #1 team rushing the league but I think when you combine what the team does in the West Coast Offense throwing the ball with the rushing attack, I believe the Chiefs can move the ball rather well down field. Jamaal Charles is on pace for 1156 rushing yards, but also on pace for 852 receiving yards, putting him over 2000 all purpose yards for this season. That's pretty darn good. As much as we would like him to rush for 1800 and win the rushing title, I'll take 2000 yards from scrimmage just fine, even if it's a combo of air and rush.
The next stat is probably the most important, as yards per game is vital but you win by scoring in the NFL, not just yardage. The Chiefs rank 11th in points per game at 25.5. They are barely out of the top 10 and with some improvements, they can get in there. If the defense takes the ball away more, then the Chiefs will have extra possessions that will get them more points. Along with PPG, the next big stat the Chiefs offense has going for it is time of possession. The Chiefs rank 3rd in the NFL, behind only the Saints and the Texans, of time of possession. That means the Chiefs offense has the ball on average 55.8% more of the time than the opposing offense, giving the team the time to hold a lead. And it's been evident the last three victories with the long 4th quarter drives they have sustained. I believe that you are a good offense if you score points and control the clock in your favor and that's exactly what the Chiefs do well. Also, the Chiefs score 61% of the time in the red zone, That's for touchdowns only, which is ranked 12th in the NFL.
Now, yes the Chiefs offense is not the Denver Broncos. I just don't see Alex Smith ever throwing for 400+ yards and 4 touchdowns in a game. They do still need to improve on a lot of things. Like I said before, we want to see a better running game, better numbers with the receivers, as we have seen too many dropped balls. They need to learn how to play 4 quarters of solid offensive football and score touchdowns, more touchdowns than field goals, as it's the only way to stay with the Broncos. I will make this very final point. The Chiefs defense is so good that the offense only needs to be good for this team to get into the playoffs and win playoff games. As much as the league is all about scoring points, I still believe defense is the backbone of every successful team, and it wins championships. If this offense can just get a little better and more consistent, along with not turning the ball over, then we are in for a great ride this season and beyond. Go Chiefs!
