The match-up at Camp Randall this Saturday is building quietly into a good one.
Set aside the story lines that connect coach Gary Andersen and his former Utah battling mates, and what you find are two football teams looking to trampoline their season towards a BCS Bowl Game.
Looking at the match-ups, there are arguments on both sides of the football. Here are the three good reasons why Wisconsin wins this game, Saturday.
3 – James White & Melvin Gordon: For the sake of not using up two spots, I've grouped these two guys together as one.
While the two-headed TD-dancing fools have exploded into the ranks of the best in all of FBS this season, they've done so behind one of the most unnoticed offensive lines in recent memory. After last weekend's second-half takeover of their Big Ten battle with Iowa, there is no reason to believe this duo doesn't somehow again combine for a big day. EDGE: Wisconsin
2 – UW's D-Line: They showed last week that in the face of some adversity, this is one of the toughest front-lines in all of the Big Ten. Without Tyler Dippel up front and Chris Borland behind them, the group of Pat Mulldoon, Ethan Hemer, Beau Allen and the host of linebackers behind them stymied the Hawkeyes and held them out of the endzone for 48-minutes. Something they took stock in this week and will look to build upon, Saturday. They will still be without the services of Dippel this weekend, but Borland's return can only mean the team builds on last week's performance and holds down a tough pair of running backs ( ) , solid QB ( ) and great WR ( ).
1 – Here is the best and most imposing reason Wisconsin wins this game, Saturday. CAMP RANDALL: Saturday will mark 28 long days since Bucky's been at home in front of 80,000-plus screaming Wisconsinites … Absence only makes the heart grow fonder and everyone in the great Madison area will feel the effects of the longer-than-normal layoff. Call me crazy, but come the end of the third quarter, more than just Camp Randall will be shaking as it's been one of the longest stretches in recent memory that UW's student section has gone without their weekly dose of "Jump Around".
PREDICTION: UW wins going away in this one, 45-24 Badgers.

To the Editor: It is uncommon but not unheard of for Huntington's disease to present after the age of 70. However, in a 71-year-old man who presented without significant motor symptoms, and with brain imaging suggesting normal pressure hydrocephalus, only a positive diagnosis of Huntington's disease in his sister prompted the genetic testing that eventually led to the correct diagnosis.
A 71-year-old man with medical history significant for benign prostatic hypertrophy and normal pressure hydrocephalus presented to the emergency room with behavioral changes. He had no known past psychiatric history and no history of substance use beyond tobacco. He was highly educated and had been functioning well as an investment banker when he began experiencing mild memory difficulty 1 year ago. This symptom prompted an outpatient visit to neurology, resulting in an MRI and a subsequent suggested diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus, though without confirmation by lumbar puncture. Gradually over the next year, the patient's personality and behavior changed. He began to have temper outbursts and to excessively insult his wife of 12 years. He abruptly quit his job, became more religious and he gave away large sums of money to charities, attempting to liquidate all of his assets. He became increasingly paranoid, and thought that there were strange people in his house that he could never see. He began to accuse his wife of having relations with other men and threatened to burn down their house. From the emergency room, he was admitted to the neurology service with subsequent consultation to psychiatry.
Upon presentation, his physical exam was remarkable only for wide-based gait. His thought process was both tangential and circumstantial with perseveration on several delusional ideas. There was no evidence of suicidal or homicidal ideation. At night he would become agitated, repeatedly attempted to leave the hospital, and was mildly combative. Review of systems was positive for increased urinary frequency that resolved with antibiotics following a positive urine culture. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score at presentation was 29/30, but more comprehensive neuropsychological testing revealed poor performance on tasks of memory, visual-spatial construction, and executive functioning with an overall reduced processing speed significant in a man of such previous high functioning. A CT and MRI showed enlarged temporal horns of the lateral ventricles suggestive of normal pressure hydrocephalus, however without the associated white matter changes around the ventricles. There was no evidence of ischemic injury or parenchymal atrophy. All laboratory values were within normal limits and a lumbar puncture to reevaluate normal pressure hydrocephalus showed a normal opening pressure of 45 mm H2O with normal protein, glucose, and cell count. There was no improvement of gait symptoms following the lumbar puncture. Family history revealed a sister in her late 60s who had recently been diagnosed with Huntington's disease, and a genetic test for Huntington's disease was performed.
Risperdol, 1 mg b.i.d., brought significant resolution of the psychosis and agitation and subjective improvement of his gait. After discharge, the genetic test for Huntington's returned positive with 40 CAG repeats on one allele.
Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder with a variety of presenting symptoms and ages of onset. Although the average age of onset is between 40 and 50 years old, 25% of patients experience their initial symptom development after the age of 50, and patients have been diagnosed as late as 80 years old. One study found that the disease progressed more slowly in older patients.1 Given the anticipatory effect of the mutation, elderly patients with late-onset disease have many fewer repeats than patients in their 40s, which perhaps accounts for the milder symptoms.
It is not uncommon for cognitive or psychiatric symptoms to be the initial presenting sign of Huntington's disease. Huntington's disease patients tend to have difficulties with visuospatial tasks, and often present with impairments in planning and judgment with increasingly impulsive behavior. Patients may become apathetic, irritable, and even violent with accompanying emotional lability and decreased concentration leading to subsequent intellectual decline. Psychotic symptoms like those in this patient are present in 3%—11% of cases and include isolated delusional states, auditory hallucinations and paranoia.2
After establishing the diagnosis of Huntington's disease with genetic analysis, the MRI images for this patient were reevaluated. They were again read as showing only ventricular enlargement evocative of normal pressure hydrocephalus, without evidence of the surrounding caudate atrophy associated with Huntington's disease. Could both diagnoses be present? A review of the literature revealed two case reports of patients diagnosed with Huntington's disease by motor symptoms and family history, who then developed ventricular enlargement accompanied by cognitive symptoms that suggested to the authors an additional diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus.3 Lumbar punctures revealed normal opening CSF pressure and shunts placed in these patients improved their cognitive symptoms but did not affect their chorea. This finding prompted the authors to speculate a process by which the cortical changes in Huntington's disease contributed to the development of normal pressure hydrocephalus. Nonetheless, despite the suggestive imaging, the genetic diagnosis of Huntington's disease in this patient indicates a convincing single diagnosis whose symptoms were, unlike the earlier case reports, unchanged after a lumbar puncture. It is unlikely that he possesses both diagnoses.
A retrospective look at this patient's case suggests that this patient's behavior and cognitive decline are consistent with the diagnosis of Huntington's disease. It is crucial to consider Huntington's disease as a diagnosis in elderly patients exhibiting cognitive decline with prominent psychiatric symptoms even in the presence of imaging studies that suggest normal pressure hydrocephalus. These elderly patients may be the first in their family to exhibit symptoms of Huntington's disease.

Hunter/Foley NWO whilst not a GREAT Cell match, is still a lot better than you'd get from 1999.
Rock/HHH Backlash and Judgement Day 2000 were again far superior to anything Austin/Rock, Taker/Austin, Mankind/Rock could offer.
HHH/Jericho Fully Loaded LMS match is again on a whole different level to what 1999 produced.
Rock/Benoit whilst let down by the overbooked finish, was again far better than what Rock produced in his feuds in 1999.
HHH/Taka from Smackdown is a better TV match than I ever recall seeing from 1999 WWF.
The Too Cool/Angle & Edge/Christian 6 man from Judgement Day is fun as fuck and again, better than any 1999 opener I can recall.
The Dallas 10 man tag from February featuring HHH and the Radicalz v Foley, Rock & Too Cool is one of Raw's greatest matches, just an insanely great match/segment with an all time great crowd.
I'm not huge on Benoit/Jericho as a series (compared to others), but their series was better than any IC title match I recall from 1999.
Bear in mind I also ommitted the Dudleys/Hardys Table match from Royal Rumble, the Triangle Ladder match from Wrestlemania 16 and TLC 1 from Summerslam. All generally well received even if I have a pretty low opinion on the actual matches myself.
September-December of 2000 tbh is where the year gets weaker from an in ring standpoint, Angle/Rock No Mercy gets a ton of love but its been too long since I last watched it. Unforgiven and Survivor Series are largely weak, and Armageddon is equally disappointing (some love the 6 man HIAC but I'm no fan of it, more of a clusterfuck IMO).
But yeah, despite a weak period from September-December, the first 8 months of 2000 alone blow 1999 out of the water, christ January-May is in another league of its own in terms of match quality. Slowly but surely matches became more about the character performances, structure and story within a match rather than overbooked brawls (and even the overbooked brawls such as HHH/Rock Backlash was booked and executed more like Austin/Dude Love OTE 1998 than some of the poor 1999 brawls).

Is Nixon the new model for Obama?
I always thought that President Obama wanted to model his domestic policy on Lincoln and his foreign policy on Eisenhower.
But the news this week of the IRS harrassing right-wing groups and the Justice Department harrassing the Associated Press evokes the Nixon era for me.
On the other hand, Nixon had better relations with the military (despite contemplating firing Creighton Abrams in Vietnam).
This is me really going off the Obama reservation.

This past year a movie on the creation of Facebook was very popular and last week Time magazine selected Facebook's editor as its person of the year. Clearly, social networking via the internet has come of age. It is more and more widespread and more and more mainstream. The opportunities it presents via Facebook and other social networking sites for staying in touch are both fun and valuable to many people.
There are, unfortunately, also some significant downsides. Many of the problems of the three-dimensional, physical world – theft, scams, sexual predators, etc. - have migrated to the world of the internet. In fact, some of these have found the internet to be an easier place to do business given the internet's openness and anonymity. Bullying has also found a home on the internet.
We've all waited close to nine months for public statements from the Herricks Teacher's Association and the Herricks administrators regarding a possible temporary freeze in salaries and benefits during these extremely difficult economic times. Nine months of silence ended at the last Herricks School Board meeting with the Teachers' union president saying "no" to opening up contract discussions. He continued giving the usual and expected "spin" about the per pupil spending as compared to neighboring districts and we being the lowest although we remain one of the top districts on Long Island. Next was the line about how families continue to move into the district because of the excellent school system. Then came the "unfunded mandates" line from the state and local government as well as the New York State budget process. Although this all may be true, all these things can be said in any of the so-called neighboring school districts as well.
In regards to your recent statements that Tully Pool will be closed again to replace or repair the pool liner, which you stated will be done at no additional cost by the contracting company. My question is did the liner come with a warranty and/or is there insurance on the pool? If there is then the repair should be no problem.
How did the "liner" get damaged to allow moisture to seep through? Was the liner defective? Then it would be the company who made the liner's responsibility. Is it the same liner as the old pool? How could the contractor be responsible for fixing the liner at no cost? Unless the contractor damaged the liner.
You stated that residents are spreading misinformation for political reasons, I strongly disagree. Whatever is happening at Tully the end result is that the taxpayers foot the bill. So if you could please answer the above questions, thus avoiding any more "rumors" about the pool sinking causing these problems, it would be greatly appreciated.

New Hyde Park
Can we break the cycle of uncertainty? The answer is 'yes we can' if we have the will. This same uncertain cycle has occurred before except we now have an overabundance of easy fix artists that ply a trade and tone that are not in the best interests of our nation, our state, and our very home towns. Fear not - the solutions will come from the people of our very own home towns.
Back in the summer of 2009, Frank Scaturro, a Republican and 30-plus year resident of New Hyde Park announced that he would be running in 2010 for Congress in the 4th Congressional District to oppose the incumbent, Carolyn McCarthy, who had fallen out of grace with many of the people who voted for her previously.
Scaturro brought qualifications we have never seen in a congressional candidate-a home-grown constitutional lawyer who served as Counsel for the Constitution to the Senate Judiciary and worked on the nominations of Supreme Court Justices Roberts & Alito; author of several books on history, a professor at Hofstra Law School and the list goes on and on highlighting the accomplishments of this young man.
He put together a strong campaign that raised more money than any other Republican challenger in the history of this seat, and had supporters far and wide endorsing his decision to run.
(Attorney General and Governor-elect Andrew Cuomo released this letter on Nov. 17 to Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman, requesting that the New York State Unified Court System take appropriate steps to ensure that election-related litigation involving three undecided State Senate races be resolved expeditiously and fairly.)
Dear Chief Judge Lippman:
For reasons which follow, I write for the purpose of requesting that the New York State Unified Court System take appropriate steps to ensure that election-related litigation involving the three undecided State Senate races be resolved as expeditiously as possible.
Today, more than two weeks after Election Day, several lawsuits have already been commenced, and numerous courts, election workers and lawyers throughout the State are busily engaged in the process of resolving the elections at issue.
As winter approaches, the thought of possible snow storms has reminded me of the importance of reviewing our practices regarding school closures and delayed openings.
• Snow Days
If weather conditions are such that it is difficult or impossible for district staff to clear driveways and paths at our buildings, for buses to be able to travel safely through the Herricks community in a timely fashion, for the vast majority of staff to be able to get to work on time or for students to be able to get safely from their homes to school either on foot or in a car, we will close school for the day. These decisions are usually made between 4 and 5:30 a.m. Included in the decision-making process are the Director of Transportation, the Director of Facilities and myself. We also consult with our counterparts in neighboring school districts and with the police regarding road conditions.
Thank you for voting on Election Day. Participating in the electoral process is the cornerstone of democratic government and community action.
That being said, I am especially grateful for those who voted for me, recognizing that my actions as your Assemblywoman are driven by a love of community, a strong belief in our governmental system, and compassion for those in need –-which frankly cuts across all demographics.
I have always believed that hard work, some sacrifice, persistence coupled with patience will help us achieve the goals we want for ourselves, our children and our New York State. I will continue to work each day with you always in my thoughts.
Michelle Schimel
Member of Assembly
16th Assembly District
In the last several local elections an expressed desire for fiscal responsibility and the preservation of local governmental control has come to the forefront of voter concern. There are several so called "do-gooder" groups who plan to go into villages, fire districts, water districts, and sanitation districts, that they do not live in or support with their tax dollars, with the express purpose of eliminating these local entities regardless of what residents prefer. At the same time, state officials from New York City want to raid the surpluses these entities have so they can continue to feed their reckless spending habits.
Local officeholders, who embraced tax and spend policies without regard to the negative financial consequences to be inflicted on future generations, were voted out of office. Some that survived will be voted out next time or they will not run for office again. Officeholders who have made it easier for outsiders to eliminate villages, fire districts, water districts, and sanitation districts, have been voted out of office. But the state law that allows outsiders easy pickings on local governments is still in effect. The Long Island Progressive Coalition is gearing up for action. So the fight continues.
The next village meeting is scheduled for Saturday, November 20th at 10 a.m. The meeting, while considered a "regular" meeting with village business being conducted, is the annual " Village Official for a Day". Students from Cross Street, Center Street and St. Aidan's schools have submitted essays to the village for review.
After careful consideration students will be chosen to represent village officials for the meeting. Residents are encouraged to attend this meeting in particular, not only to participate in village government, but also, to provide support for our young officials. It should be an informative, enjoyable meeting.

It's a New Year and time for some housekeeping. My main question is has anyone exchanged 2 S cablecards fro 1 M cablecard? I assume that this is now a self install? I have a TiVo HDXL that is my primary DVR.Also, I have a pair of the old Model QIP6416 DVRs. Since they are no longer grandfathering in the original price, I should return the one in the same room as the TiVo. Those two actions should save me just under $21 a month.At some point I am half tempted to return the other verizon DVR to to drop its $17 a month charge also. I need to consider some options, but am not ready to make a decision on this one yet.Any ramifications on contract with respect to returning equipment, i.e., are DVRs considered services? The language in the popup on their website says:
Minimum term commitment of 24 months applies. If you cancel and of your services before completing your minimum term, an early termination fee will apply and you will no longer receive the bundle discount on any remaining services. 24-month plans are subject to an early termination fee of up to $230. I understand that once my bundled services are installed, I have a 30 day period to cancel without any early termination fee.
Nope. Equipment isn't covered in the contract - just the service.As for the CableCARDs, you might have a better time dealing with the CS reps if you just tell them you want to order an additional M-Card. And there's not really any need to specify M-Card - all CableCARDs should be M-Cards unless you specifically request an S-Card. You can either pick it up at a FiOS store or they'll mail it to you for $20. Then install it in your TiVo, make sure everything is working, and return the S-Cards on a separate occasion (Verizon equipment can usually be returned to any UPS store. Not sure if that applies for CableCARDs. If not, they should send you a return label with the M-Card anyway).A little more work for you, but might be less confusing for the rep trying to remove two cards and add another one without any lapse in service.--University of Southern California - Fight On!
Thanks for the CableCARD suggestion. Given the confusion that Verizon tends to have with billing and orders, that sounds like a good idea to limit the confusion.

"I ordered the Anchor Me save-the-dates and wedding invitations, and decided to spring for the matching thank you cards at the last minute too. I'm SO happy that I did!! They're absolutely beautiful, and the red striping on the back is such a fabulous touch. The customization process went so smoothly - the team was quick to get me a comp, and it was perfect the first time around."
"Even though we simply loved our invitations design ("Floral Refinement"), we decided to chose a different design for the Thank You cards. We picked this card because of its simplicity and whimsical charm, and when the order arrived, we knew we made the right choice. The paper is nice and textured, and the quality of the printing is just wonderful. We chose the brown ink and it has a very warm, rich tone. Overall, a great design, lovely card and a great way to thank our family and friends."
"Very simple, but nice. We wanted everything to match, so we got the thank yous to go with the invites, etcetera. Great quality."

Knowing God's Phone Number
Sermon shared by Jeff Strite
August 2004
Summary: Why did God tell Jeremiah to "call upon" Him? And just how do I "call upon the name of the Lord?"
Series: Journey thru Jeremiah
Scripture: Jeremiah 33:1-33:3 (add scripture)
Tags: Persecution, Pray, Suffering, Persecute, Prayer How To, [more] (add tag)
Denomination: Christian/Church of Christ
Audience: Believer adults

More Sermons from Jeff
OPEN: Last year, when Jim Carrey starred in his movie �Bruce Almighty� the writers of the script gave God a phone number that Carrey could dial to talk with the Almighty. But instead of using the 555 prefix that movie makers and TV shows generally give phone numbers � they gave God a 776 prefix.
People who saw the movie wrote the number down and started dialing it. One lady in St. Petersburg, FL received 20 calls an hour from people who wanted to talk to God.
ILLUS: In one small church, the minister called the children to come down front every Sunday and then he�d tell them a story. Once he brought a telephone to better illustrate the idea of prayer.
�You talk to people on the telephone and don�t see them on the other end of the line, right?� he began.
The children nodded yes.
�Well, talking to God is like talking on the telephone. He�s on the other end, but you can�t see him. He�s listening, though.�
Just then a little boy piped up and asked, �What�s his number?�
APPLY: What is God�s phone number? In Jeremiah 33:3 God declares: �Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.� Jeremiah 33:3
What is God�s phone number?
How can I be sure I�m connecting up with God�
I mean - here in Jeremiah 33 God is reassuring Jeremiah that if Jeremiah will call upon Him, God will tell Jeremiah great and unsearchable things.
I. Now, I find it intriguing that Jeremiah should be advised by God to call upon Him. I mean, after all, Jeremiah is a prophet of God. �Calling on God� should be something he does on a regular basis.
It occurred to me that something must have happened in Jeremiah�s life that had sapped the energy out of his faith. But what could it be?
Look at Jeremiah 33 Verse 1 �While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time.�
(Ask the audience) Where was Jeremiah? Jeremiah is in jail! And he�s been there for a while. This verse tell us that this was the 2nd time God has talked to Jeremiah since he�d been there.
(Some background) What�s happened is this:
God gave Jeremiah a message to declare to Jerusalem: �Babylon will come down from the north and destroy the city� and unless you�re will to repent� there�s not a blessed thing you can do to stop it.�
Zedekiah, the King in Jerusalem didn�t like that message. And he didn�t want to repent.
So - what do you do when you don�t like the message? You shoot the messenger.
Well, Zedekiah didn�t actually shoot Jeremiah, but he did throw Jeremiah in prison.
Now here�s Jeremiah locked up for doing God�s will.
And there�s something not quite right about that! This shouldn�t be happening! When I obey God everything supposed to turn out ok, isn�t it?
Well� apparently not. In fact Jesus told us: "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets (guys like Jeremiah) who were before you.� Matthew 5:11-12
OK. I can accept that. But (really now) it doesn�t make it any easier does it?
It doesn�t make it any easier when I suddenly discover that life isn�t fair
It doesn�t make it any easier when I find that I can be
* a nice guy
* and a good Christian
* that I go to church

What It Is and What It Protects Against
There are four vaccines to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis:
- DTaP: given to children under age 7
- DT: given to children under age 7
- Tdap: given to older children and adults
- Td: given to older children and adults
*What the letters mean: DTaP, DT, Tdap, and Td are all similar vaccinations given for the same diseases at various times in a person's life. Depending on age, certain amounts of each of the vaccine's components are administered. The lettering system and upper/lower cases denote the component of the vaccination and the amount that's included within. As the CDC explains, "Upper-case letters in these abbreviations denote full-strength doses of diphtheria (D) and tetanus (T) toxoids and pertussis (P) vaccine. Lower-case "d" and "p" denote reduced doses of diphtheria and pertussis used in the adolescent/adult-formulations. The "a" in DTaP and Tdap stands for "acellular," meaning that the pertussis component contains only a small part of the pertussis organism."
General Use
- DTaP: DTaP protects against three diseases: diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw), and pertussis (whooping cough). The CDC recommends that children receive five doses of this vaccine, administered at specific ages, beginning at 2 months old. The second dose should follow at 4 months; the third dose at 6 months; the fourth dose between ages 15 to 18 months; and the fifth and final dose between 4 to 6 years old. DTaP is not licensed for older children, adolescents, or adults.
- DT: DT is the pediatric version of Td (which is for adults).
- Td: This is a booster shot which is recommended every 10 years. The Td vaccine protects against tetanus and diphtheria, but not pertussis.
- Tdap: Unlike the Td vaccine, the Tdap protects against all three diseases. For protection as you age, adolescents (between age 11 to 18) and adults (between 19 to 64 years old) can receive one dose of Tdap. This vaccine may also be given to children between ages 7 to 10 who are not completely immunized against pertussis. This vaccine is also recommended for adults because there is an increasing incidence of pertussis in infants who have yet to be fully immunized but have been exposed to adults whose immunity is waning.
Who Should Not Get It
According to the CDC, the introduction of vaccines has led to the decrease of tetanus cases by more than 96 percent and diphtheria by more than 99 percent. Routine vaccines are recommended for children, adolescents, and adults; however there are certain people who should not get the diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccines, including:
- people who had severe allergic reaction to past doses of DTP, DTaP, DT, or Td
- people who had severe allergic reaction to any component of a vaccine
- people who had a coma or seizures within 7 days after receiving the DTP or DTaP vaccines
- anyone who is moderately to severely ill is advised to wait until a full recovery before getting vaccinated
In addition to the above list, there are additional factors that may affect a person's risk for receiving the Tdap vaccine. Other concerns to discuss with your doctor before getting the Tdap include:
- having epilepsy
- experiencing severe swelling from past doses of DTP, DTaP, DT, Td, or Tdap
- having Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS)
Potential Side Effects
Though the risk of serious harm from these vaccines is small compared with the risk of getting the diseases, the vaccines do hold some risk, from mild to severe side effects.
Mild side effects include:
- soreness or swelling where the shot was given
- fever
- fussiness
- fatigue
- vomiting
Moderate to severe side effects include:
- seizure (jerking or staring)
- continuous crying
- high fever
- permanent brain damage

So I am changing this section of *Alter Tunes* (Various music that I am so into that I put it on my altar, take pictures and discuss) to *Alter Reads*
This week on Alter Reads, Whip Smart; A Memoir. By Melissa Febos.
The play on words of the title, the graphic on the cover and even some of the coverage it's gotten suggests that it is largely a narrative memoir about the author's time spent as a dominatrix in NYC. It is that. But the story is less about the sexy/lurid underbelly of NYC sex work and so much more a universal story about our experiences as human beings and how those experiences shape us and further more, our reactions to the human beings we allow ourselves to be shaped into.
I felt really included in this book. I didn't feel at all like an outsider observing someone else's experience. Perhaps that is due to my own life and how I relate in many ways to various aspects of the story.
Melissa Febos has presented a great gem in the form of this memoir. I read it as a universal story of densely layered self-discovery. The duality of darkness and illumination on the path toward oneself. Febos has given us a memoir who's main themes appear to be addiction, BDSM work, and recovery. All topics that conjure scintilating images of leathery danger, wild sexiness and places of darkness and pain where only sex, drugs and rock & roll can take you. But in this book the later is not necessarily true. In fact for me, both surpisingly and then not, those topics end up being the most base and mundane (not that they are either of those) aspects of the story. Rather than being the point of the book those themes are a catalyst to underlying narratives of cognition, compulsion, power and self actualization.
We are cordially invited to witness, and sometimes play an active mental roll in, the creation of a persona/person that grows larger and larger in the persuit of self preservation. We witness the writer at the height of her popularity/self-confidence/personal power and we feel the euphoria of that cresting wave right along with her. When that wave begins to crash, time starts to slow down the way it does when a situation you have no idea how to cope with presents itself to you… Oddly you find yourself further into the text than you would have imagined.
The story really becomes engaging as the author starts to come to terms with the fact that that she has created a thematic life template for herself to move about in freely, but not always vivaciously. Naturally the compulsions that run like a fine thread through the many aspects of this book all find themselves in the same undesirable place of repetition, learned outcome and ultimately stagnation.
But not for long time because Febos is a most masterful describer of recovery and wide-eyed revelations of self. Of course this is the best part, watching the constructs Febos has so intricately crafted fall away via talk therapy, previously gaurded aspects of relationships and 12 step programs. Ultimately presenting a relaxed, no so difficult to navigate person who, in fact, was carrying her truth around with her the whole time.
If I made my little book review seem a like I was projecting myself on to Febos' memoir it's because i was and I couldn't help it. Nor I imagine could anyone who has ever been forced, or had the courage, (for any reason), to step back and examine themselves in an unguarded and truthful way. Even if only for a moment.
She also made me miss my therapist REALLY bad.

Yesterday's Game
Brewers defeat Phillies 9-4
Emotional reaction immediately after the game
How can they possibly be this bad defensively?
Less emotional, more optimistic reaction after thinking about it a bit
At least Jake Diekman is looking like a solid late inning option out of the bullpen.
Carlos Gomez had three hits to spark the Brewers offense. And Ryan Braun continues to give the Phillies fans plenty to boo about as he added a two-run triple in the eighth inning.
Antonio Bastardo didn't get much help from his defense, but he also got off on the wrong foot when he walked the first batter he faced en route to giving up three runs in his one inning of work.
Today's Game
Milwaukee Brewers (6-2) at Philadelphia Phillies (3-5)
Game time: 7:05 PM
Starting pitchers: Marco Estrada (0-0) vs. Cliff Lee (2-0)
Quick Preview
The Phillies will try to win their first home game of the season. They should have a good shot at it with Cliff Lee on the mound. Lee struggled on Opening Day (but still picked up a victory), but shined in his last start against the Cubs. The Phillies could use a dominating outing from him. The more batters he strikes out, the fewer chances his defense will have to botch plays.
The Brewers are looking for a sweep behind veteran righthander Marco Estrada, who is making his second start of the season. If the Brewers continue to hit as well as they have recently, then Estrada's job will be made that much easier.
Link of Interest
Phillies Team Site – Asche out of lineup with hamstring injury
The Phillies bench did not appear to be a strength heading into the season. Therefore, it was worrisome that they were missing two of their starting infielders for last night's game. Chase Utley sat out with the flu, while third baseman Cody Asche is dealing with a sore hamstring. Manager Ryne Sandberg downplayed the injury and said that Asche should be back soon. The Phillies certainly hope so, because his absence makes an already thin bench perilously short of players.
Tweet of Importance
Phillies are 6 for 40 with RISP since Saturday. I'm no math major, but that's a .150 average and that's what I'd call not good.
— Pat Gallen (@PatGallen_975) April 10, 2014
I suppose all of the Phillies' problems can't be pinned on the bullpen and defense. Still, they are getting runners on base and scoring some runs, which are good signs. If you get enough runners on base, some of them are bound to score.

Come submit your headcanons! (x)
Hey, intiates! Come visit our sister blog!
Greetings from sunny (ha) Washington, D.C. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for any stray Set animals.
175. a few of thoth's previous hosts were heavy smokers (back before the health side effects of smoking were well-known). he doesn't do it anymore, but sometimes when he's stressed he'll get the urge to smoke again while in his human form.
I was mostly sobbing over piles of homework. Junior year is fantastic.
174. anubis and nico met in a graveyard one night and anubis really liked this kid's look, so he changed his appearance to match it and to try and impress sadie with it
173. the gods (especially thoth) took an interest in jaz a while after the war. carter didn't understand why, only catching one word everytime thoth came over and had spotted jaz: "ma'at". carter didn't fully understand the meaning of it until chaos demons took jaz away (she returned safely with barely any scratches and glowing hands)
171. walt decided to teach himself how to draw. it was a way for him to get the scenes from his nightmares out of his head.
Ah, whoops. Hit the wrong button, so the headcanons will be slightly out of order. Forgive me!
172. after finding out that both carter and sadie couldn't cook or bake at all, and wanting the trainees' birthdays special, jaz took over the food and dessert at birthday parties. she can make a mean pizza and chocolate cake.
170. sadie is small for her age, causing extreme frustration when people assume that she's ten or eleven

- The value of the equilibrium does not depend on the temperature.
- KCl(s)
- Pb(CN)2(s)
- Cu(NO3)2(s)
- NH4NO3(s)
- FeSO4(s)
Answers and Explanations
- B—An acid, any acid, will give a pH below 7; thus, answers C–E are eliminated. A 0.1-molar solution of a strong acid would have a pH of 1. Acetic acid is not a strong acid, so answer A is eliminated.
- A—The K nearest 10–8 will give a pH near 8. The answer must involve the H2PO4– ion.
- C—The generic Ka is:
- D—The two substances are not a conjugate acid–base pair, so this is not a buffer. Both compounds are salts of a strong base and a weak acid; such salts are basic (pH > 7).
- C—The two substances constitute a conjugate acid–base pair, so this is a buffer. The pH should be near –log Ka1. This is about 2 (acid).
- E—The two substances constitute a conjugate acid–base pair, so this is a buffer. The pOH should be near –log Kb. This is about 4. The pH would be about 14 – 4 = 10.
- B—Any time an acid is added, the pH will drop. The reaction of the weak base with the acid produces the conjugate acid of the weak base. The combination of the weak base and its conjugate is a buffer, so the pH will not change very much until all the base is used. After all the base has reacted, the pH will drop much more rapidly. The equivalence point of a weak base–strong acid titration is always below 7 (only strong base–strong acid titrations will give a pH of 7 at the equivalence point). The value of pOH is equal to pKb half-way to the equivalence point.
- E—If pH = 4.0, then [H+] = 1 × 10–4 = [A–], and [HA] = 0.30 – 1 × 10–4. The generic Ka is [H+][A–]/[HA], and when the values are entered into this equation: (1 × 10–4)2/0.30 = 3.3 × 10–8. Since you can estimate the answer, no actual calculations need be done.
- A—This is an acid-dissociation constant, thus the solution must he acidic (pH < 7). The pH of a 0.010 M strong acid would be 2.0. This is not a strong acid, so the pH must be above 2.
- A—A is the salt of a strong acid and a weak base; it is acidic. B and E are salts of a strong acid and a strong base; they are neutral. C and D are salts of a weak acid and a strong base; they are basic. The lowest pH would be the acidic choice.
- E—Sodium nitrite is a salt of a weak acid and a strong base. Ions from strong bases, Na+ in this case, do not undergo hydrolysis, and do not affect the pH. Ions from weak acids, NO2– in this case, undergo hydrolysis to produce basic solutions.
- B—The presence of a strong acid, HNO3, would make this the most acidic (lowest pH).
- E—The weak acid and the weak base partially cancel each other to give a nearly neutral solution.
- C—Both A and C are buffers, because they have conjugate acid–base pairs of either a weak acid (A) or a weak base (C). The weak acid buffer would have a pH below 7, and the weak base buffer would have a pH above 7.
- A—See the answer to question 14.
- A—The equilibrium constant expression is: Kb = 4.0 × 10–10 = [OH–][C6H5NH3+ ]/[C6H5NH2]. This expression becomes: (x)(x)/(1.0 – x) = 4.0 × 10–10, which simplifies to: x2/1.0 = 4.0 × 10–10. Taking the square root of each side gives: x = 2.0 × 10–5 = [OH–]. Since you can estimate the answer, no actual calculations need be done.
- E—The solubility-product constant expression is: Ksp = [Zn2+][IO3–]2 = 4 × 10–6. This may be rearranged to: [IO3–]2 = 4 × 10–6/[Zn2+]. Inserting the desired zinc ion concentration gives: [IO3–]2 = 4 × 10–6/(1 × 10–6) = 4. Taking the square root of each side leaves a desired IO3– concentration of 2 M. 2 mol of KIO3 must be added to 1.00 L of solution to produce this concentration. Since you can estimate the answer, no actual calculations need be done.
- A—When dealing with gaseous equilibria, volume changes are important when there is a difference in the total number of moles of gas on opposite sides of the equilibrium arrow. All the answers, except A, have differing numbers of moles of gas on opposite sides of the equilibrium arrow.
- C—Hydrolysis of any ion begins with the interaction of that ion with water. Thus, both the ion and water must be on the left side of the equilibrium arrow, and hence in the denominator of the equilibrium-constant expression (water, as with all solvents, will be left out of the expression). The oxalate ion is the conjugate base of a weak acid. As a base it will produce OH– in solution along with the conjugate acid (HC2O4–) of the base. The equilibrium reaction is: C2O42–(aq) + H2O(l) OH–(aq) + HC2O4–(aq).
- D—The low value for the equilibrium constant means that the equilibrium lies to the left. For this to be true, the weaker acid and the weaker base must be on the left side.
- E—The equilibrium given is actually the sum of the following three equilibria:
Ka = [H+][A–]/[HA] = 9 × 10–4 = x2/1.0 – x
x = 3 × 10–2 M and the percent dissociation is (3 × 10–2/1.0) × 100% = 3%
You will need to be able to do calculations at this level without a calculator.
Summing these equations means you need to multiply the equilibrium constants:
Ksum = KspKK' = Ksp/Ka2Ka1
- = 1.6 × 10–24/[(1 × 10–19) (9.5 × 10–8)]
The presence of 0.20 mol of CO (0.20 M) at equilibrium means that 2x = 0.20 and that x = 0.10. Using this value for x, the bottom line of the table becomes:
The equilibrium expression is: K = [CO]2[H2]2/[CH4][CO2]. Entering the equilibrium values into the equilibrium expression gives: K = (0.20)2(0.20)2/(0.20)(0.30)
Ksp = [Mn2+][OH–]2 = 1.6 × 10–13
If s is used to indicate the molar solubility, the equilibrium expression becomes:
Ksp = (s)(2s)2 = 4s3 = 1.6 × 10–13

San Francisco Giants first baseman-outfielder Aubrey Huff released a statement on Friday addressing his stint on the disabled list for anxiety. Huff was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday to deal with an anxiety attack he had earlier in the week. "Thank you to the fans, media and Giants organization for the outpouring of support during this very difficult week," Huff said. "I'm especially grateful for the texts and calls from my teammates, who are like my brothers and have let me know they're here for me. "My goal is to get back on the field as soon as possible. To do that, I have to focus completely on getting well. I know I'm in a public job, and I've been one of the more open guys. But sometimes you have to pull back and work on things in private. This is one of those times. I appreciate your understanding and patience." Huff was hitting just .182 before going on the DL.

5 Reasons You Should Hate Capitalism
1. Capitalism Causes Inequality. Capitalism is the idea that the pothead who dropped out of college for extra gaming time should make less money than the engineering student who worked two jobs to pay his way through school.
This is wrong. Those two people should get the same income. I am outraged. Equality is inherently good, regardless of why equality exists.
2. Capitalism Exploits People. Capitalism exploits people by allowing anyone who can deliver pizza or push carts the ability to split an apartment with a friend or two, and have air conditioning, a full belly, video game consoles, cable TV, and a weight problem.
This exploits them because they should expect more stuff and there should be less work. I don't know how to determine how much is enough, but that's ok, because I feel strongly about this and I'm on the Internet.
3. Capitalism Is Materialistic. Capitalism has made everyone spoiled. We think we need all this useless stuff that we don't need and shouldn't want.
That said, I am willing to throw a violent protest over the fact that I don't think I have as much stuff as I should have in this system.
Materialism is bad, and I demand more free stuff.
4. Capitalism Is Elitist. Capitalism is the idea that the rare individual who spends a lifetime learning to design bridges should somehow have more resources at his disposal than than the guy who never did anything to better his education outside of high school. This is an outrage.
Just because you're a more productive human being, have made better life choices, and have a better moral compass doesn't mean you're better than anyone else. Don't judge me, you Pharisee.
5. Capitalism Is Racist. Capitalism is racist because I believe black people aren't able to help themselves without the white establishment giving them subsidies. Black people can't handle economic freedom, because they are incapable without white help.
That's why capitalism is racist. Because black people can't handle freedom without white help.
Thank you for reading. Reblog if you hate capitalism too.

The Republic of Texas
The Republic of Texas
When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, the Mexican government began actively enticing Americans to move to Texas, offering them land at low prices. The Mexicans wanted Americans to settle Texas for two reasons. First, the Americans would draw the fire of the Apache and Comanche raiders to whom northeast Texas was home. Second, settlers of Texas would presumably side with Mexico against any attempted U.S. invasion and takeover of Texas.
The plan was so successful that it backfired on the Mexican government. By 1830, American Texans outnumbered Mexican Texans by two to one. Worried that the American settlers would after all be loyal to U.S. interests, Mexico banned further immigration from the United States and prohibited slavery in Texas. However, both bans proved unenforceable.
In 1833, General Antonio López de Santa Anna was elected president of Mexico. When he developed into a military dictator, residents of Texas led an armed rebellion against the government. In 1835, Texans captured the town of San Antonio. In early 1836, Santa Anna arrived at the head of an army to sub- due the revolt. The Mexicans laid siege to the Alamo, a fort near San Antonio where the Texans were holding their position. On March 6, Santa Anna's army battled for control of the fort. All the defenders of the Alamo were killed. In April, Sam Houston led the Texans against the Mexicans near the San Jacinto River. They took Santa Anna prisoner and forced him to sign a treaty granting Texas its independence. Sam Houston was elected the first president of the Republic of Texas in 1836. Mexico, pointing out that Santa Anna had signed the treaty under duress, refused to recognize Texan independence.
In 1837, Texas applied to the U.S. Congress for statehood. Since northerners in Congress did not want to admit another slaveholding state to the Union, and even some southern congressmen were hesitant to take a step that would infuriate the Mexican government, Texas remained an independent republic until 1845.

According to TMZ, Matt Barnes was arrested for an outstanding traffic warrant and for resisting an executive officer at Manhattan Beach Monday evening.
Barnes was approached by the Manhattan Beach PD when officers found that he had a $26,000 unpaid traffic warrant for driving with a suspended license.
What exasperated the situation was Barnes' unwillingness to cooperate with the police. Barnes was then arrested and put in the back of the police car and is now being held on bail for $51,000.

YouTube Lets Users Edit Video Online
Combining two videos into one in new online video editor.
CREDIT: YouTube
You want to be the next big hit on YouTube? It could happen. And YouTube just made it more likely with the release of YouTube Video Editor, a simple online program now available in TestTube, the site's new area for experimental programs.
Unlike traditional video editing programs that live on your computer and usually requre a good amount of storage space on your hard drive, YouTube Video Editor lives in the cloud. It takes up no disk space and offers online, on-demand video editing tools within the YouTube environment.
With YouTube Video Editor, you can combine multiple videos from the ones you've uploaded to create a new piece like a "Best of" video, trim the beginning and ending of videos, or add soundtracks from YouTube's AudioSwap library of 40,000 songs. The interface is simple enough for someone with no experience with video editing. Finished video can be posted directly from the editor to your YouTube page.
YouTube says the editor is ideal for merging single, short clips into a longer video . For instance, if you've filmed an entire wedding, the video editor lets you easily remove unwanted footage to capture just the moment when they say "I do."
Future additions to the editor may include transitions, effects, title screens, and audio layers, and the ability to combine HD video with standard video without rendering the entire piece in the lower resolution. The new features will depend on user comments and requests during this test phase.
YouTube users can also experiment with Video Annotations to add interactive comments to their videos, CaptionTube to add captions and subtitles, and a test version of HTML5 video player, the format compatible with iOS 4 devices including the iPad and new iPhone .

For horses with Navicular, Calcium Deposits(ringbone/sidebone also), Fractures, OCD, Fusing Joints here are the typical unsuccessful remedial actions:
As you can see, ultimately these temporary remedial actions leave the door open for relapses and further injury since the bone itself is in the same condition as when you started caring for the problem or worse. Within 3-6 weeks of starting EQUI-BONE most horses that are exhibiting symptoms begin improving as a result of this improved mineralization.
TLC's EQUI-BONE formula is different because it was designed to target the source of the problem, a dietary imbalance which compromises the integrity of the bone and ultimately allows conditions such as navicular, calcium deposits & fractures to develop. TLC's EQUI-BONE is comprised of a proprietary mineral blend that specifically focuses on the bone remodeling process. Where other products on the market put the cart before the horse and simply attempt to make the horse more comfortable, we're getting real results IN THE BONE. You can continue spending hundreds of dollars a month on corrective shoes, injections and other misplaced remedial actions OR you can feed TLC's EQUI-BONE formula and start improving the bone mineralization process today. A quick search for EQUI-BONE on our facebook page or google will yield you many real world stories of people who have used our product successfully in very dramatic situations. So you don't have to take our word for it.
FOR HORSES WITH COMBINATION BONE & JOINT PROBLEMS: A product like FLEX-FUEL which contains Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Glucosamine and MSM can be a great complement to EQUI-BONE if joint stiffness symptoms are present along with your bone issue. To approach a bone issue combined with arthritis complications most effectively, combine 1 scoop of each EQUI-BONE & FLEX-FUEL twice daily.
Our EQUI-BONE pellet formula includes 1,750mg of each Glucosamine and MSM per scoop to help support horses that have cartilage complications in addition to bone complications (the powder does not). The EQUI-BONE pellets can be added to feed without any mixing, whereas water may need to be added to the powder and mixed in with the grain to make an oatmeal-like paste. Because of this, pellets are recommended for picky eaters.

I have been using Equibone for 6 months, I have two aged mares who have suffered from Navicular problems for quite some time and nothing I tried worked to relieve the pain. I decided to start them both on it and within 3 weeks I noticed a big difference in how they were walking and they seemed to be very comfortable. It's nothing short of a miracle! I have the one mare still on the loading dose but have been able to back the other mare off to the maintenance dose. They are different horses thanks to this wonderful product.

We started using equibone on my daughters barrel horse almost five months ago when we discovered he had a small fracture in one of his hind legs. She has started legging him back up recently and he is doing amazing! I think the equibone is what helped him more than anything! As this is the second time almost a year to date that she has had to stay off of him because of his injury but this time we used equibone and so far so good! She hopes to be running him at the spring high school rodeos

I noticed a big change on our 16 year old cutting horse. He seemed a lot more comfortable in his stops and seemed to hold the ground better in his turns. I fed a lot of supplements to improve joints but this one you can actually see a difference. I actually bought it for another horse that we were treating for a navicular problem and decided to feed it to both horses. The horse I bought it for developed an abscess so it is a little early to see if it is helping him yet.

Compile universal binaries by default
Now there's a cool idea! And it gets around the problem of libtool dropping the universal flags unless they are prefixed by -Xlinker or -Xcompiler, and depending on the version of libtool used, since this trick happens after libtool has mangled the cc command.

This website was among the more helpful sites as it provides Jeep's Repair kit instruction. Thanks for a well thought out site, and permission to borrow content.
This site does a good job of where and how to cut, so I will not re-invent the wheel. I'll show you my solution to the kit from Jeep.
Total Cost of Project:
$1.76 Mending plate ($0.88 x 2)
$3.36 Hinges ($1.18 x 2)
Required Materials / Tools:
4 - 1/8" rivets
1 - Rivet gun
hacksaw or rotary tool (the hacksaw requires more patience than I possess)
I agree though - something so "simple" and it leaves such a bad impression on most Jeep owners.
