ODD @ New York fashion week
Fashion Reporter: Virgina Fabricius
After receiving ØDD's invitation which was very well-designed and beautiful, I was very excited about attending this show. The collection was certainly interesting to watch and it fit a very distinct niche-clientele of New York City. With clear preferences for grey-, black-, and blue-shades the clothes were very versatile and easy to combine. View the show HERE
Son Jung Wan
Fur, fur, sequins, metallics, and fur – this is how you could summarize Son Jung Wan's fashion show. More than half of the looks contained fur in some way, whether it be the whole look in form of a giant, calf-length, cream fur coat or just in the detailing of a lapel. The interesting compositions of colors and furs might have been somewhat inspired by Fendi. However, the overall collection of Son Jung Wan went so well together and the looks interpreted the concept in such a variety of ways that it surely was a pleasure to watch. View photos of the show HERE
Eponymovs Hvrminn
This menswear presentation combined classical tailoring with somewhat modernized punk jewelry. It definitely gave an interesting edge to traditional menswear, which is known to have less room for creative freedom. The customer of Eponymovs Hvrminn is a young man following his own, maybe a little bit rebellious, aesthetic. He is an interesting and interested individual who appreciates beautiful tailoring and utility. What really stood out in this presentation was the great quality, construction and fit of these garments. I would love to see similar clothes in the womenswear market. See photos of the collection HERE.
My first thought spying Georgine's second look was: I WANT THIS DRESS. Georgine's woman was elegant, sophisticated, sexy, and insanely beautiful. She wore fur, leather, strappy heels, and gloves, and had her hair styled in sexy 40's waves to the side. The collection was highly consistent with this image and realized every woman's dream of living in a time where women dressed in feminine clothes made from luxurious materials. And even if there was a clear historical reference, the clothes andaccessories were surely modern and had fun and interesting RTW aspects to them such as the metallic brocades and some active-wear inspired details like stripes or mesh. All in all it was a highly intriguing and successful collection, Check out the collection HERE.
Meskita's collection was spot-on New York style. Clean, edgy, sexy, and ready to be worn in the office or after-hours. With very few prints, each look featured a maximum of two to three colors or fabrics that were cut so beautifully that the collection didn't suffer the tiniest bit from this clean approach. Particularly eye-catching were the pieces created from neoprene - this double-faced fabric with different colors on the in- or outside added an interesting twist wherever the fabric folded or turned, exposing the contrasting color on the other side. See photos HERE
Dominic Louis
Dominic Louis' show was hosted in a beautiful, sun-drenched, white loft that was packed with people. He showed a large number of beautiful coats, leather garments, dresses, and knits. However, what really caught my interest were his insanely beautiful pants. They had big and flowy legs with pleats, slits, and tuck-darts that opened exposing volume or bare legs as the models gracefully walked down the isles. It was a very cohesive collection and the wide variety of materials, the change between freely flowing clothes and very fitted garments contouring the female curves were certainly exciting for the eye. See photos HERE.
Mathieu Mirano
Leather and fur were clearly 'a big thing' at New York Fashion Week and so it's not surprising that these materials were also commonly found at Mathieu Mirano. His sexy, tough looks were body conscious and are for sure a pleasure to wear for every woman and more than appreciated by her male counterpart. Particularly stunning was a head-to-hem pony ensemble with silver metal and zipper detailing or the floor-length navy fringe-dress referencing the rebellious side of Mathieu Mirano's woman. I also loved the zipper details on many garments and the slits in the skirts or sleeves created from partly opened zippers. See photos HERE.

Fingers Crossed
Fingers Crossed showed menswear by Ryu Hayama from Tokyo, Japan. It featured much black or gray leather jackets and heavy wool coats with contrasting detailing such as white buttons or white knit hoods. It was a nice collection for a young, active man with a more personal and not mass-market oriented style. See photos HERE.
The Art Institutes
The pieces shown during the show of 'The Art Institutes' were surely as diverse in aesthetic and construction as the backgrounds and origins of the designers representing this fashion school: from very traditional, conservative designs in muted colors to bright, flashy looks and experimental silhouettes, the eye was surely never bored.
Some of my personal highlights were the collections of Lauren Barisic (The Art Institute of California – San Francisco), Lorena Cabrera (The Art Institute of Portland) and Gustavo Alonso (Miami International University of Art & Design).
Lauren named the movie 'Charade' as the starting point for her very well-constructed collection but in her choice of color, material, and silhouette it certainly also resembled British fashion, especially with the red and black plaids and a 'ponchoesque' jacket-skirt combination.
Gustavo Alonso, who is a US Marine Corps veteran, presented a very classy, elegant eveningwear collection for the 'dark, romantic side' of a woman. Some of of the gowns were beautifully draped around the body and the use of very lightweight fabrics added wonderful movement to them as the model strutted down the runway. My personal favorite was probably his soft, white gown, though really all of the dresses would find customers and lovers out there on the market.
In contrast to Lauren and Gustavo, Lorena's collection was much more sculptural and focused less on the fabric's surface (in form of weave or lace) but more on adding interest through manipulations, draping, and silhouette changes. She used mostly monochrome fabrics, some of them with metallic effects adding even more depths to her intricate constructions, and referencing her inspiration, the mineral hall at the American Museum of Natural History. Lorena probably showed the most intricate and clean construction skills, her cubic shapes and pleats laid flatter and smother on the garments than the lapels or seams of some of her fellow co-designers, highlighting her sophisticated skills in creating exciting volumes and silhouettes.

You could feel the high expectations of the audience as we waited for the Custo Barcelona show to start. The salon at Lincoln Center was packed and when the first model stepped out on the runway, the photographer's cameras began snapping for the perfect image.
One of Custo Barcelona's trademarks is print, and this was of course seen in this Autumn Winter collection. There was a classy mixed of graphic prints and colors – The choice of different materials and shapes complimented the woman and her figure. The choice of colors was interesting and all fit well within the overall collection. In-between there were some various colorful outfits that were a bit different creating a great twist making the collection even stronger.
Custo Barcelona is a style, in itself and this show was no exception. The autumn winter collection contained colorful pieces for the self-confident woman and man. One of the things that enriched the runway was the coats – Long fur coats with a twist of different materials. They had put together a coat made out of colorful fur and other fabrics. with Interesting graphic detail sewn into the fur.
Overall this collection was a well-made and delicious contribution to the New York Fashion Week.

This Fashion week was a little bit different for Betsey Johnson because she showed twice. And there was a really good reason for this - The Marist College Fashion Program honored the 71-year-old designer with the College's Silver Needle Fashion Icon Award. This show was indeed special because Betsey Johnson is only the second designer to receive this honor.
Betsey Johnson is a very special lady with an incredibly remarkable career in fashion. She has an endless creativity and she's not afraid to show her over-the-top collections every year. Betsey Johnson has been in the fashion industry since the 1960s, and she is not quitting any day soon. Her show was just as exuberant and embellished as always.
One of Betsey Johnson's trademarks is her way of formulating the sexy silhouette with the use of colors and fun printed fabrics. Johnson refers to this collection as a return to her party girl roots. All the outfits were styled in many different colors, sparkling sequins, and laces in sharp colors such as blue, pink and red.
Every model had their own little party going on and while they semi-danced down the runway you got a good view of all the details of the outfits. Almost all looks were paired with a colorful Betsey Johnson party bag, big chunky jewelry and a jeweled rat ring on their hand.
Overall the show was colorful with many accomplished and ingenious outfits. At the end of the show in true Betsey form, all the models jumped and danced down the runway in short shorts, pink shirts while carrying red heart-shaped balloons. Afterwards two very hot firefighters came out and splashed the stage right before Betsey's grand entrance. This was a fun and humorous way to show the name of her collection, HOT.
As always Betsey Johnson did her famous cartwheel and splits which was followed by a standing applause for and her and her collection. You did it again. Now the expectations can only be high for next year.

Yesterday, two great pious leaders of the world met in Washington DC. President Bush has immense temporal power, leading one of the richest countries on the planet with the most potent military force. Pope Benedict is a spiritual leader to a billion people, with immense influence and the responsibility of a long religious legacy. What could they have talked about? Mostly, they seem to have patted each other on the back and congratulated each other on their commitment to superstition.
In remarks greeting the pope at the White House, Bush called the United States "a nation of prayer."
Bush was interrupted by applause as he said, "In a world where some treat life as something to be debased and discarded, we need your message that all human life is sacred and that each of us is willed."
Benedict responded by praising the role of religion in the United States.
"From the dawn of the republic, America's quest for freedom has been guided by the conviction that the principles governing political and social life are intimately linked to a moral order based on the dominion of God the creator," he said.
I am often told that religion is a source of morality. I've read the Bible myself; I can see that there were moral philosophers at work behind that book, that we have a tradition of law in the Old Testament, with a fellow named Jesus adding social justice and concern for the poor and weak in the New that are actually rather commendable. I also see a lot of myth and error and misplaced obsession with the supernatural that rational people are willing to set aside to focus on the core humanitarian message … or at least they do so in the best of circumstances.

I'm even more flexible now so that means I can slouch again.
I don't like it.
I miss my perfect posture.
I found out my spine curved a little again
I'm not scared for my surgery, I'm just not looking forward to it.
I know how painful it's going to be, and as big of a prescription druggie I make myself sound, I'm not looking forward to being hella fucking drugged out of my mind again.
I don't want to be completely dependent on my parents again, especially my mom. She has to sleep with me, take me a shower, feed me, like literally feed me herself….
And the pain… Not looking forward to that.
Oh, and the recovery process… Not being to bend down, or lift up the simplest of things…
I just want to get it over with.
thank you :)
well the scoliosis surgery part of it is pretty good! but i got a cyst on my scar and it got infected and it has given me a lot of trouble these past 3 months but other than that it's like my spine was never crooked! :D
my surgery was barely a year ago.do you still feel numbness around your scar?
There's this spot on my back that hurts really bad. I keep joking around and saying that i pulled a screw (lol.) I don't know though. It hella hurts.
This weekend I found out that my uncle's wife had scoliosis surgery when she was 11. Pretty cool. Her surgery was 16 hours long and it was basically her whole back.
I actually asked my surgeon if he could take a picture of my back during the surgery…. He did. He took 5 in total & they're probably one of my most prized possessions. My camera still has the sticker with my name and medical id on it.
There's the screws and rods.

Before i think it was 45 on the top and 25 on the bottom. I'm not sure what is is now, since I wasnt able to go to my 6 month post op app because I didnt have insurance anymore. For the most part, my back is really straight. I grew about 2 inches.. From being 5'1" to 5'3" I checked yesterday lol.
Honestly, when I had to wear the back brace for my scoliosis, I hated it. The first day I got it I told my mom that I didn't want to wear the brace, that I would rather get the surgery. 3 years later, I got the surgery.
but yeah, getting the surgery was the best decision I've ever made. I wasn't even worried about the "consequences" or whatever. Not even the small possibility of never being able to walk, or possibly dying.
I just didn't want to wear the damn brace.
I ended up giving the brace to my doctor so he could have it as an example, now I wish I hadn't… just too see how it'd fit now.
Oh well. I'll see him soon since I have insurance again.

SEATTLE (AP) — The last-place Seattle Mariners fired manager Don Wakamatsu on Monday, hours before their American League game against Oakland.
Seattle entered the day with 42 wins and 70 losses. The Mariners began the season with expectations of their first postseason since in nine years, following a winning 2009 in Wakamatsu's first season.
But a poorly constructed roster has produced the worst offense in baseball and doomed them to 22½ games behind AL West-leading Texas.
"I would like to thank the city of Seattle and all the baseball fans here in the Northwest for the great support offered to me during my time as Mariners manager," Wakamatsu said in statement released by the team. "My single biggest disappointment is that we were not able to finish what we wanted to finish here, bringing a championship club to the fans."
The Mariners started the night with their fifth manager in three years. Daren Brown, the manager of Triple-A Tacoma for the last four seasons, took over on an interim basis hours before a game against Oakland.
"It's frustrating," Mariners perennial All-Star and cornerstone Ichiro Suzuki said, through his interpreter. "It's not just his responsibility (that we're losing). It's the whole team's responsibility.
"I don't think it's fair to say the manager's responsible to take the blame, because he's not."
Seattle also fired bench coach Ty Van Burkleo and pitching coach Rick Adair. The team also released performance coach Steve Hecht.
All to bring together a fractured clubhouse and a wayward team.
"The truth of the matter is, I lost confidence in Don, Ty and Rick," Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said during a press conference in which he tried to explain why Wakamatsu was out after one good season and about half a terrible one.
"New leadership is needed and it is needed now," Zduriencik said.
The GM said he would likely begin talking to candidates for the permanent manager job while this season runs out.
Wakamatsu is a former bench coach for the Athletics and Rangers and longtime coach in the Angels system. He had guided Seattle to an 85-77 record in his first season, after taking over a team that went 61-101 in 2008.
Asked if the club is now back to square one, Suzuki said: "That's the only way we can look at it."
Zduriencik disagreed.
"I don't think we are back to 'square zero,'" the GM said, fittingly going even lower. "However, this season presented an opportunity for us. In that opportunity, a lot of things had to fall into place — with the acquisition of Cliff Lee, with the addition of Chone Figgins, and players I thought had to have good seasons.
"To look around and see so many players having subpar seasons is very disturbing."
Wakamatsu watched Griffey slump this season to the point the manager finally benched him. Griffey then drove home in early June to retirement in Florida in a huff without saying goodbye to most in Seattle. The manager sent an irate Bradley home from a game in May, and the next day Bradley asked him and the GM for help dealing with emotional issues.
Wakamatsu has also had multiple public spats with Figgins, whom Zduriencik signed to a $36 million free-agent contract before the season. The most recent incident was an in-game fracas of shouting, shoving and infielder Jose Lopez getting his jersey pulled over his back. That happened inside the home team's dugout in full view of half the stadium and a national television audience.
Asked for his reaction to Wakamatsu's firing, Figgins smiled, shook his head and politely said, "I'm not going to talk about it, man."
Roger Hansen, who had been the Mariners' minor league catching coordinator, takes over as the bench coach. Carl Willis, Seattle's minor league pitching coordinator, takes on the responsibility of big-league pitching coach.
Wakamatsu, the majors' first Japanese-American manager, is the fifth manager in the majors to be fired this season. Baltimore's Dave Trembley, Kansas City's Trey Hillman, Arizona's A.J. Hinch and Florida's Fredi Gonzalez also were dismissed.
Wakamatsu was asked last week by the AP how he was doing amid rampant speculation that he would become Seattle's fall guy.
"I'll be all right," the 47-year-old Wakamatsu said. "I've been in this game a long time, and I have a lot of people pulling for me — most of all my family."
He went 127-147 since getting Seattle's job in November 2008. His .464 winning percentage is fifth-best among the Mariners managers.

An 8-year-old girl was left alone at a bus stop after getting on the wrong bus after school.
"For someone her age, her size, to be left alone, to me, that's crazy. That's insane," said Jason Reevey, grandfather of Taya Sanders.
Last Thursday, Reevey's granddaughter got on the wrong bus.
In the morning, the second-grade student rides the bus from her home in Northeast Wichita to Horace Mann Elementary School. After school, Taya rides the bus to her grandparents' home in Southwest Wichita.
When the second-grade student realized she was on the wrong bus, she alerted the bus driver and asked to call her grandfather.
On the phone, the grandfather was told that Taya was to get off the bus and wait for him by herself.
"I was furious but I didn't know if she was scared," said Reevey.
School officials with USD 259 said there is an investigation underway. The policy is for bus drivers to call dispatch to alert them of a student getting on the wrong bus. The driver is to take the student back to the school or to the right stop after completing their route.

Sports Fan Insider
By Jim Melwert
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Phillies single game tickets go on sale this morning, but unlike the past few years, not many fans lined up for tickets.
After five straight playoff appearances, fans would be out here before dawn to line up for single-game tickets, but after they missed the playoffs last year.
Amy Benton and her friend Denise Gibson drove nearly two hours from Lancaster County to get down here around 5am.
"We were shocked because last year we were 28 and 29 in line, the year before we were 50 or 60, so we both said, 'Hey, you know what? Fairweather fans, a bunch of losers, but we're three and four, we'll get the tickets we want." Benton said.
Vannessa Ramona Whittington Roberts says even though tickets likely won't be too hard to get, she had to be here:
"I think I do, it was a rough year, they ended up being .500 and that wasn't really good enough, but this my game, this my team, and I want to get my tickets for certain games."
Single game tickets on sale at 8:30 this morning here at the box office and online at Phillies.com.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Law
I got involved in my community. This fall, I found myself coaching a little league football team, the College Park Hornets. I wish I could make this story the magical tale of how I took this team and made them into Super Bowl champions, but it just has not worked out that way.
I began this year determined to build my law practice, tackling new and more complex litigation. I worked tirelessly toward that end, opening a second law office in Baltimore and expanding my caseload. From marketing to employee issues to law office management, my days were constantly filed with challenges but somehow it just wasn't enough.
Don't get me wrong. I love the practice of law. It is what I dreamed of doing all my life. Yet somehow, it was not enough, I still lacked fulfillment. Coaching the College Park Hornets has renewed my spirit and inspired me to become a better lawyer.
The Hornets have not won a game all year, not one. At one point during the season, I was so emotionally drained by what I felt was a lack of effort and spirit that I considered resigning from the team. In all my years of playing organized football, from high school to college, I had never experienced a losing season. I had been on conference championship teams, playoff teams, always on wining teams.
Not winning any games has never been an option for me. So as the season wore on, and we lost game after game, it wore on me. Granted, we had approximately 18 players with about 15 players never having played football until this year, but that didn't matter to me. I had invested so much to the success of the team, easily 15 to 20 hours a week, that I felt our team should have been much further along regardless of playing experience. It was hard for me.
And then something incredible happened on Saturday, October 18, 2003. My team showed up ready to play. Those hours of coaching had not been in vain. They came out with determination, drive, and a ferocious team spirit. I saw the excitement and passion in the eyes of my kids. I wish this story had a happy ending, we lost, 12-6. But for the first time we played like champions. At the end of the day, this team and this game was a lesson in life. Determination and drive led us to a point where we could play hard and competitive football. These 10 and 11-year-old young men reminded me to never stop trying.
Getting involved from the aspect of a lawyer, a young lawyer at that, does not have to be directly related to practicing law. The rewards will be far greater than any win-loss record. The College Park Hornet's record may not indicate a winning season, but we are a winning team.

that happen to carry the proper gene combination (Gould 1986a, b; Roush 1997). The development of resistance may be delayed by the use of several toxins with different modes of action (Zhu et al. 1994; Jach et al. 1995). The toxins could arise from a combination of conventional breeding and transgenic techniques. However, even if the target sites of two toxins differ, there is still the possibility of cross resistance if the two toxins can be detoxified by the same enzymes. The new high-dose refuge approach (approach 1) has been the most widely accepted tactic for resistance management of target pests of transgenic or conventional pest-protected plants. Approaches 3 and 4 also have potential applicability. Approach 3, which relies on an interaction between the GMPP plant and natural enemies, is expected to decrease the rate of evolution of adaptation because it does not result in a major decrease in the fitness of either susceptible or adapted pests. Companies have not embraced this approach, because it cannot always be relied on to protect the crop, and they may have liability for control failures. There have also been concerns that the approach might not always inhibit evolution of adaptation to the pest-protected plant (for example, Johnson et al. 1997a, b). Approach 4 would also decrease the rate of evolution of resistance because only the fraction of the pest population that feeds on the protected-plant parts would be killed. This general approach could be useful if correctly implemented, but technological and ecological problems must be solved before it can be used (Roush 1997).
The high-dose approach is feasible with Bt toxins because even at high doses no health or environmental problems have been reported in commercially grown varieties. Also, crop yield has not been reduced by production of high doses. That might not be the case with some other plant-protection mechanisms.
Much of the theory of resistance management for GMPP plants has been developed for diploid, sexually reproducing organisms (NRC 1986; Roush and Tabashnik 1990). The theory is therefore only partially applicable to viruses, bacteria, and even a large group of insects that have different means of reproduction.
Plant pathologists have long been concerned with viral, fungal, and bacterial adaptation to conventional pest-protected plants. In the 1950s they developed the concept of GMPP plants having either vertical or horizontal resistance to pathogens (Van der Plank 1963). Vertical resistance typically involved single plant genes that were initially very effective at mitigating a disease but were expected to be evolutionarily overcome by rapid genetic shifts in the pathogen (Lamberti et al. 1981). Horizontal resistance was typically controlled by many genes, offered lower but adequate suppression of the target pathogen, and was expected to be more durable (recalcitrant to pathogen adaptation). This system for

Decoded: How your facial expressions mirror your mother
Know why your new born's dark eyes resemble your wife or his/her charming smile reminds you of teenaged days?
This resemblance is not pre-determined but happened randomly between two copies of every gene for a given trait - one from mom, the other from dad.
In general, both copies of a gene are switched on or off as an embryo develops into an adult.
The 'switching on' of a gene begins the process of gene expression that ultimately results in the production of a protein.
New research shows that this random phenomenon is far more likely to be found in mature, developed cell types than in their stem cell precursors.
This, in turn, offers an unexpected glimpse of randomness and variability in gene expression.
"This significant amount of flexibility and randomness in gene expression is important for adaptation as a species evolves, but it is unclear how it functions in organisms today," said professor David Spector at New York-based Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL).
Occasionally, a cell will arbitrarily begin to use of one copy of a gene over the other.
The activation of only one member of a gene pair is called 'monoallelic gene expression'.
To better understand when 'monoallelic gene expression' is established, Spector and his team collaborated with researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory.
The team used advanced sequencing technology and analysis tools to globally assess allele usage in two different cell types.
They compared embryonic stem cells which can change or 'differentiate' into nearly any type of tissue with cells that had already differentiated into the precursors of neurons.
They found a 5.6-fold increase in the number of monoallelically expressed genes in the differentiated cells.
The team was surprised to find that 8 percent of the monoallelically expressed genes were able to boost their level of expression to compensate for what would otherwise be a shortfall.
"This work raises many important questions like how does the cell know how much of each protein to produce? How much flexibility is there? What is the tipping point toward disease?" noted Spector.

Coming off the five game mega-series with the Cardinals, and a three game weekend set with the Rockies, the Pirates next series is against the lowly Marlins at home, followed by a three game set on the road with the Rockies. The Pirates remaining schedule for the month of August includes only two series against winning teams (the St. Louis Cardinals, and Arizona Diamondbacks).
While the Pirates have been hot of late, they have had a couple of letdowns this season when playing against lesser teams. As they enter into the hottest part of an intense pennant race (how often do we get to say that about the Pirates?), they hold a 1.5 game lead on the Cardinals for the N.L. Central, a 6.5 game lead on the Reds for the top N.L. wild card, and an eleven game lead on Arizona for the second wild card.
Their playoff odds are currently at 99.2% according to Baseball Prospectus. Let that settle in for a second. If this team played through their remaining schedule 100 times, ninety-nine of those times, they would make the postseason. While the division battle is likely to drag out down to the last days of the season, the Pirates have an opportunity to effectively put a playoff spot away before the beginning of September if they play as well against their poor upcoming schedule as they ought. That's scary thing to think of, but exciting at the same time. Their September schedule is a bit less forgiving, so the Pirates need to take advantage now.
They've played themselves into an excellent position heading into the last fifty-one games of the season, and so far we still have no reason to believe they can't continue their success. This is an incredibly special team, that has done great things for the city of Pittsburgh, making August and September baseball exciting, rather than the afterthought or punchline that it's been over the last twenty years.

7/19 -- Warrior's rep released a statement saying, "Mr Elias's allegations of criminal fraud are completely unfounded, ill-advised and unfortunate. This is a purely civil matter that is in the process of being resolved by our attorney."
The Ultimate Warrior has been named in a police report ... accused of bilking a collector out of $28k and a ton of wrestling merchandise, including ring-worn wrestling trunks ... TMZ has learned.
The report was filed with the Sante Fe County Sheriff's Department in New Mexico by a sports memorabilia dealer named Christopher Elias.
Elias claims he struck a $28k deal with Warrior, in which the wrestling legend agreed to send Elias a bunch of classic merchandise from his personal collection. Warrior was also supposed to sign twenty wrestling belts and ten Wrestlemania posters that Elias owned.
Elias says he paid Warrior nearly $30k for the gear and the autographs ... but claims the wrestler went MIA and never sent Elias any of the promised merchandise.
So, Elias filed the fraud report asking the Santa Fe Sheriff to bring criminal charges against Warrior. He also vows to sue the wrestling great if he doesn't get back his money and memorabilia ASAP.
We reached out to Warrior's rep for comment -- so far, no word back.
Always Believe!
Well This is galad to make money by online !!! When I Get paid 70 - 90USD per Week & get 280 - 360...USD per

I thought the Ultimate Warrior had already met his ultimate maker.
Just another "do as I say - don't do as I do" right-winger. Just like that junkie Rush Limbaugh and that wholesome family man, Ted "kid****in' draft dodger" Nugent. Live up to your own "moral" standards before you try to force them on everybody else, okay? Cool!
WARRIOR did not get sued! - The dumba$$ who claims Warrior owns him something said he's gonna sue him! That does not mean SUED yet! & trust me, He will not be able to sue WARRIOR! - What happened is the guy claims he paid $30'000 for merchandise which now he changes it & says he's gonna sue him for the money & merchandise! He's gonna try & sue Warrior for both & that's BS! because he makes no sense. If you were owed money, That doesn't mean your gonna get money & merchandise. The guy is a phoney because just like every other broke bastards in this world, They see a star with money, So they wanna find a reason to sue them to take there money!
WARRIOR earned his money, So that *** can do the same!
LOL, Just maybe!

The birth certificate, AND the college transcripts have been released.
And Fast and Furious, at worst, reveals misconduct in ATF, which is an independent government agency that has it's own chain of command (and you know, the story has been overhyped beyond belief, as it's just the accusations of one pro-gun agent who himself was already a suspect of misconduct). Romney's taxes can possibly reveal that he commited felony fraud by lying about when he stepped down at Bain Capital.
And yeah, people are still pulling that Birther nonsense.
I like how the uusual gang of idiots are calling it unconstitutional when they have a document available explainning why it IS constitutional.
It's because it's a tax, by the way. I'm not going to act like I'm a constitutional scholar, partly because I'm not American, partly because the system is kinda hindered by the regressive clinging to old framework. But within the framework of the US constitution, ACA is legal.
This is it. This is the laziest editorial cartoon in the history of editorial cartoons.
Dear God that is lazy.
Because I'm feeling like it, I'm gonna go ahead and tag this as racist.
Now Bob, I gues someone told you that strawman arguments are bad, and that is all and well. But there's such a thing as too reasonable. You see, the set-up of the first three panels kinda makes your point moot. A lot of undocumented immmigrants are studious, hard-working, law-abiding annd even patriotic. Yeah, they deserve a fair chance. And Obama was right in passing protective measures. You forgot to put in the part that explains why you think this is a bad idea.
The guy has a lower rating in the state than Voldemort. Yeah, I think they might want to. And oh, it's the unions that have unreasonable demands, not the governor who wants to screw over the vorking class.
Actually, the economy is at a bit of a plateau at the moment. And there's a lot more to "the economy" than the policies of the POTUS. The financial institutions all over are shaking due to a historically dramatic crash in 2008. The whole crisis is the chickens coming to roost from 30 years of market neo-liberalism*, as we finally begin to understand that the consept of "unlimited growth" is at its very core unstainable and impossible.
But you know, drawing Uncle Sam as hysteric, unaware of the reality of the situation, and with unrealistically high expectations from the office of President of their own country, is accidentally A Good Cartoon.
*which has nothing to do with the American label of "liberal", Liiberal here means liberarian economic policy, though admittedly neither of the two parties did much to regulate it, GOOP just did even less.
Jobs are recovering, East European missile defense is just pointless threatening of Russia and Iran, if any other country stationed missiles in Mexico, or say, Cuba, America would be flipping out. The Pipeline was a terrible idea. NASA needs a new way to get to space as space shuttles are becoming obsolete, and NASA hasn't even bene to moon since 1972, so how's Obama different from… five last presidents? Traditional Marriage? Lol. America never deserved its prestige, and lost it for reasons of larger global economics, anyway. I'm pretty sure BP killede off-shore drilling. Religious libert? Lol. Business is recovering. Bipartisanship? I'll invite you to look at the records. It's GOP that consistently refuses to give a single vote to any Democrat proposal, while Dems are far more prone to compromise.
TL;DR, Gorrell is full of shit.
Which would be preferable to staring directly at the economy and being blinded, I guess?
Obviously Gorrell doesn't cut corners with his art so he can devote his energy to his metaphors.
I laughed out loud a bit. Yeah, great metaphor, Bob.
Oh, right. A president should only focus their energies to one thing, and one thing alone, at a time.
I mean, it's not like there hasn't been a historic amount of anti-choice legislation over the past few years, some going to invasive lengths. Nope, must be imagined, hence the scare quotes around "war on women". Unless Gorrell wants to be more inclusive and thinks it should be "War on Reproductive Choice" then, yes, the quotes are deserved. But I doubt that's what he was going for.
You know, as for the economy, it's recovering. Meanwhile, in countries that did instate massive cuts (mostly, UK), the recession has started over. Conservatives need to stop acting like they have a monopoly in economic knowledge.
And in other news, Gorrell still can't draw for shit.
Or you know, Austerity doesn't work. Don't let that get in the way of your anti-French caricature.

The Case for Christ - Week of Jan. 28
How Did Jesus Affirm His Power Over Life and Death?
Verse: Mark 5:21-43
Jesus performed many stunning miracles during his ministry; resurrecting the dead was among his most astounding. Mark 5 recounts the occasion when Jesus brought a dead child back to life in front of her parents and his three closest disciples (see also Luke 8:49–56).
The fact that the girl was indeed dead is evident from the people's reaction when Jesus claimed she was only sleeping. Unaware of Jesus' divine power, they laughed at him, since it was clear to them that she would never "wake up." Despite their disbelief, Jesus brought the little girl back to life.
God alone holds the power over life and death, thus Jesus' use of this power provides evidence that he has the same authority as God the Father. Jesus' resurrection of this little girl highlights his authority, his identity and his power to give life—whether physical or spiritual—to those who believe.

News & Rumors
LAGOON Farmington, Utah(Just North of Salt Lake City)
Park News - (8/19/13) News from Lagoon has been very quiet lately, but I've now heard the name "Cannibal" in possible reference to a new park project. I don't know if this may be a new name for the rumored Black Widow replacement, or if that could be a name for the park's big construction project near the Ferris wheel. Stay tuned.
2015 - Cannibal - Rumor - Confirmed - (9/5/14) Cannibal has been confirmed as the name for the new 2015 coaster under construction at Lagoon. They describe it as having a 208 foot vertical lift before you drop back down to the ground at an amazing 116º angle before pulling out inside an underground tunnel. There will also be a water-feature area, with rockwork, waterfalls and a small lake as well as another special feature to be unveiled in the future. More details will be released soon, but you can see the concept art shown off to the local news or watch the video below.

The National Constitution Center is the Museum of We the People, America's Town Hall, and a civic education headquarters dedicated to non-partisan constitutional education and debate.
In celebration of the 200th anniversary of Norway's Constitution, the National Constitution Center and the Norwegian-American Chamber of Commerce (Philadelphia Chapter) presents a conversation on the influence of the Founding Fathers and U.S. Constitution on the Norwegian Constitution — just one of the many historic bonds between these two countries. Participating in this discussion is University of Oslo Professor Ola Mestad and University of California Professor Kaare Strøm.
In a special mid-morning event, watch two conversations live in person at the Center on James Madison's legacy, featuring Madison scholars Burt Neuborne and David O.Stewart, and a program with prominent federal judges.

Premier historian Richard Norton Smith, joins the National Constitution Center to unveil his long-anticipated biography on American icon Nelson Rockefeller. Smith will chart Rockefeller's political rise to New York governor, to time in the White House as Vice President, as well as relationships with presidents and political leaders like Franklin D. Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, and more.
Listen to National Constitution Center president Jeffrey Rosen's incredible one-hour interview with author Geoffrey Ward, the author of the book on "The Roosevelts" that was featured on PBS.
A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that the Pennsylvania town of Jim Thorpe can keep the body of the late sports legend, probably ending a dispute over athlete's final resting place.
This powerful, engaging exhibition uses Thomas Jefferson's plantation Monticello as a focal point for examining the dilemma of slavery in the United States. Now through January 4, 2015.

GST treatment of motor industry payments finally resolvedDOWNLOAD
24 October 2013: The parties have not sought to appeal the decision of the Full Federal Court in the case of AP Group Limited v Commissioner of Taxation, dated 18 September 2013. The taxpayer was advised by Deloitte.
This was an appeal by the taxpayer, and a cross appeal by the ATO, on the decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) dated 14 September 2012. The taxpayer argued before the AAT that it had overpaid GST on the receipt of five categories of incentive payments. The AAT agreed with the taxpayer in respect of three categories of payments being 'transit allowances', 'retail target incentives' and 'wholesale target incentives'. The AAT, however, disagreed with the taxpayer on 'fleet rebates' and 'run-out model support payments'.
The Full Federal Court upheld the AAT's decision, resulting in a partial win for the motor dealers and partial win for the ATO.
Jon Graham, Indirect Tax Leader at Deloitte, said: "This is a very important test case looking at some of the most fundamental building blocks upon which the GST system in Australia is built. The case tested what constitutes a 'supply' and what constitutes 'consideration' and the level of connection that is needed between the two in order to render a transaction subject to GST."
For the motor industry, this has been a grey area since GST was introduced on 1 July 2000 with all of the parties, including the ATO, uncertain as to the correct treatment.
Deloitte, acting for a group of motor dealers, had been in discussions with senior ATO personnel from as early as 2008, but it was agreed that the only way to obtain certainty on the matter was to litigate using a test case. Deloitte assisted AP Group in putting forward a test case on behalf of a larger group of motor dealers.
Mr Graham said: "The taxpayer tried to convince the ATO and the courts that fleet rebates and run-out bonuses should be treated as discounts to the underlying motor vehicles because this is how the distributors and the dealers always saw the payments commercially. There will be disappointment that the courts didn't characterise them in this way for GST purposes, but the decision does bring much-needed certainty to the GST treatment of these payments to all parties in the supply chain."
"Some motor dealers will now be entitled to refunds in respect of GST overpaid although, because of the four-year time restrictions for making GST refunds, it will only be available for those dealers who commenced an action with the ATO many years ago."
Lead partner of Deloitte Motor Industry Services, Grant Cameron said: "The refunds will be welcomed by Australian motor dealers however, they will not be as large as those received in the Kap motors case that Deloitte led in 2008."
The decision is expected to have ramifications for other sectors where there are similar incentive payments, such as volume rebates between wholesalers and retailers.
Mr Graham said: "The real story here is that it took 13 years after the tax was introduced to get certainty on the GST treatment. This is just one example of the uncertainties that continue to exist in GST. In a Deloitte survey of in-house tax advisers in 2010, 50 per cent of respondents identified the number of fundamental GST concepts still being grey areas as their biggest disappointment in the 10 years since GST was introduced."

HAMMOND | Mike Kaminski dutifully goes about his responsibilities as a high school swimmer every day in practices and meets.
The long and tiring regimen is shared with teammates and coaches whom Kaminski calls "his brothers and sisters."
And despite a disability that could cause others to shy away from sports in general, Kaminski isn't afraid to jump right in the pool and push others to swim better and work harder.
Kaminski is moderately mentally handicapped and attends special needs classes at Hammond High School. However, the senior has emerged as one of the strongest swimmers for the Wildcats.
"I love to swim," Kaminski said. "Swimming is really fun. Butterfly is really hard, but I'm getting used to it."
Kaminski never took swimming lessons. He learned how to swim in eighth grade and joined Hammond's boys swimming team the next year.
"I think he's done very well, with all things considered," Hammond coach Sue Ann Mathewson said. "He's one of my better swimmers because he's been around so long. He's learned from the kids that were older than him. They kind of mentored him and brought him along. He's been able to hold his own and do quite well."
Mathewson said teaching Kaminski the sport was no more difficult than any of her other kids on the team. At the urban school, Mathewson sometimes has to teach her athletes simply how to swim, as they've never been shown the sport before.
"From day one, he jumped in and was ready to go," Mathewson said. "I didn't have to teach him how to swim. He already knew most of the strokes. He's been a (good) addition to our team, and it's been good to have him. He's kind of the leader of the lanes. He's faster than the others in the lane. He always knows the distance that we're doing."
Kaminski, who swims the 50 free, 100 free and relays, is an inspiration to other teammates. Sophomore Gerardo Lemus and the other boys on the team interact well with Kaminski and treat him as one of their own.
"Knowing he has (a disability), it makes me surprised he is willing to still swim," Lemus said. "It motivates me to swim, too. He's a good friend. He's a very good swimmer."
Outside of swimming, Kaminski is still able to carry out daily tasks. Mathewson gave him a ride home once after a practice, but Kaminski had to stop at CVS to pick up a prescription for his grandmother, Beverly.
"He knew where to go and how to do it," Mathewson said. "I was a little worried about him going in by himself, but he did it, and it was amazing. He amazes me."

It took eight-and-a-half months for the NASA's Mars Curiosity rover to reach the Red Planet aka Mars. The rover landed at 1:31AM ET on Monday, Aug. 6. Once the rover hit its target, the digital space was abuzz with the news. Mars is a crucial location in sci fi literature, lore and film, so naturally, much of the world is curious about what the rover discovers. The landing was a hot topic in our world, too, with plenty of informed, newshound pop stars tweeting about the landing.

Secretary Sebelius Makes Commitment to Collection of LGBT Health Data
June 21, 2011
Today at a White House press conference, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters that her department "fully intend[s] to collect LGBT data," including on national health surveys. It has been repeatedly demonstrated – including in a major LGBT health report issued just months ago by the Institute of Medicine – that LGBT people experience significant health disparities and that we cannot fully understand those disparities and how to address them until major health studies ask about our community. HRC has urged HHS and the Obama Administration to take steps to collect data and address LGBT health disparities. We have also lobbied Congress to call for, and fully fund the inclusion of LGBT questions in federal health surveys and programs.Continue Reading ►

Barcelona opens door to top league clubs for signing Fabregas
Barcelona has reportedly opened the transfer door for their striker Cesc Fasbregas to top clubs including Manchester United and Arsenal if they are willing to pay an amount of 45 million pounds for the player.
Barcelona has reportedly decided to look into the shifting of some of their major high profile players such as Alexis Sanchez, Javier Mascherano, Daniel Alves, Pedro and Christian Tello to generate increased revenues.
According to Independent, the Spanish Giants are looking for a major overhaul this summer and will sell some of their best players if the right offers come in.
This news would not only make Man United approach the player but would also have Arsenal on caution as Arsene Wenger was interested in bringing Fabregas back to the club earlier, added reports. (ANI)
Top Headlines
- Man Utd boss Moyes hopes to reunite Fabregas with Van Persie
- Man Utd confident of signing Fabregas despite Arsenal interest
- Fabregas determined to win more trophies with Barcelona
- Wenger confident he can persuade Barcelona's Fabregas to return to London

Jermichael Finley is, or at least was, among the top 10 tight ends in football when healthy. But that's the issue, he isn't healthy much, especially as of late. He's only played a full 16 game season twice in his career, and has played less than half of the season twice as well. One of those disappointed less-than-half seasons was last year, when his season was cut short by a serious neck injury.
Now, the reason that this is all relevant is because Finley has been offered a contract by the Steelers. The offer, of course, came after Finley was medically cleared by doctors to resume football activities. If Finley were to sign with the Steelers, it would be hard to argue the signing. Finley may be hurt pretty frequently, but when he's healthy he makes an impact. The three seasons that Finley played more than half of the games in
since becoming a starter in Green Bay have been above average for a tight end. He racked up 171 receptions, 2110 yards, and 15 touchdowns over those three seasons (45 games). That's 57/703.3/5 per season and 3.78/46.89/.33 per game. I would consider that production a very welcome addition to the stable of tight ends that currently exists in Pittsburgh.
As of right now Heath Miller is really the only viable tight end on the roster. Matt Spaeth is good for blocking but not much else, David Paulson is pretty bad in general, Rob Blanchflower is unproven, and Eric Waters has massive athletic potential but is very raw. Jermichael Finley would immediately be able to step in and become an outside receiving threat, which is the one area of Heath's game that leaves a little to be desired. An outside receiver who is able to go up and get the ball and bring it down in traffic is what would make him most valuable to the offense. The receiving corps lacks a proven receiver with that skillset, and that is the type of player Finley is. Don't get too excited about the production he would bring, because it likely wouldn't be as much what it was in Green Bay. I would, however, be a nice augment to the production that already exists in the Steel City. It's no secret that Finley doesn't have the best hands in the world, but that can be tolerated out of a receiver who creates big plays, wouldn't see the field an overwhelming amount, and likely wouldn't be counting very much against the cap.
If the Steelers front office is able to work a deal out with Finley and his agent I, for one, would be very excited. It likely wouldn't be on a huge contract or include an overwhelming role on the team, but it would seemingly bring nice production for how much he is paid or is playing.

Boyd Intermodal this week unveiled a new intermodal innovation allowing double-stacking of flatbed freight on the rails.
The Boyd Intermodal Raildeck was developed in conjunction with Raildecks Intermodal and BNSF Railway. It converts flatbed industrial cargo from over-the-road to intermodal rail in a safe and secure process."This new product provides a means of transporting flatbed products over intermodal rail routes nationwide, which until now wasn't possible," said Richard Bailey, president of Boyd Bros. Transportation, Birmingham, Ala. "This is a game-changer for our industry."In the past, flatbed shippers were unable to take advantage of the efficiency offered by intermodal stack train service. Boyd Intermodal Raildecks are an open top flatbed unit that is transported over short distances via highway, on a chassis. Once inside an intermodal yard, the flatbed unit is lifted onto intermodal trains for transport to an intermodal hub where it is loaded onto a chassis and drayed to the final consignee."Before this product, most of the heaviest bulk loads of steel and other metals had to travel over the highways," explained said Chris Cooper, chief operations officer for Boyd Bros. "Now, flatbed trailer loads will be accepted on the rail system."
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

Biotechnology Competitive Exams in India
05-29-2013, 03:02 PM (This post was last modified: 05-29-2013 03:05 PM by SunilNagpal.)
Post: #1
Biotechnology Competitive Exams in India
Most of the undergraduate students in Biotechnology, in India, remain confused/anxious about their prospective careers in immediate future. Citing the lack/limit of the job availability in the Biotechnology industry for the fresh graduates (BSc/B.Tech), almost every fresher tries to procure a higher degree in the field to have an added advantage and increased opportunity for obtaining a job. Whereas, there's no comparison to the higher degree obtained from the foreign institutes/universities of repute, not everyone is able/affords to pursue the same. So, the truth is that, most of them end up obtaining the Masters/Phd from some Institute/University in India itself; and the plight becomes sad, when they obtain it from a low key private institute, further amplifying the woes of their career!
It was the impact of such facts that I got motivated to write an article for you all, which could amass most (if not all) of the information on revered Competitive Exams in India, that could help you obtain a standard Masters/PhD degree from an institute of repute in India, thus adding to the hopes of having a safe/secured future. Following is the compilation of the important Biotechnology Competitive Exams in India:
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), in the subjects of Biotechnology (BT) and(Or) Life Sciences (XL) is the most famous competitive Exams in India for a bright Masters/PhD degree from the most revered institutes of the country i.e IITs, IISc, NITs, BITS.
