Manchester United sank to new depths on Tuesday (Aug 26) when they crashed out of the League Cup in the second round following a 4-0 defeat at third-division Milton Keynes Dons.
MILTON KEYNES: Manchester United sank to new depths on Tuesday (Aug 26) when they crashed out of the League Cup in the second round following a 4-0 defeat at third-division Milton Keynes Dons.
United had announced the signing of Angel di Maria from Real Madrid in a British-record £59.7 million (S$122 million, US$98 million) deal shortly before kick-off, but they were brought down to earth with a painful bump as a second-string team fell apart at Stadium MK.
Will Grigg scored either side of half-time for the League One side before Benik Afobe added a brace of his own to leave a shell-shocked Louis van Gaal still searching for his first competitive win as United manager.
"It's a matter of making errors at the wrong moment. When you see the goals against us, we made big errors in the build-up situations that you cannot make," van Gaal told Sky Sports. "You don't have to forget that we have nine injuries and that we had a very young team. I have seen them trying to do their utmost best, so you cannot expect more of the players."
Asked if he had a message for United's fans, van Gaal said: "They have to believe in our philosophy. We are building up a team and you cannot make it in one month, not in one year. "Of course it's very disappointing, but I hope they shall maintain their confidence in the club and our philosophy because that philosophy takes time."
United's defeat mirrored what had happened on their last appearance in the second round in 1995, when they fell to third-tier York City, and means a potential path to silverware has been shut off before the end of August.
"I'm a little bit in shock, to be walking around and seeing the scoreline," said MK Dons manager Karl Robinson. "It's ridiculous. It's something that dreams are made of for these players."
Van Gaal made 10 changes to his starting XI, with goalkeeper David de Gea the only player to hold onto his place from Sunday's 1-1 draw at Sunderland in the Premier League.
The visitors received an early setback when Shinji Kagawa had to go off after a clash of heads and in the 25th minute they gifted their hosts the lead.
Jonny Evans, United's captain for the day, passed the ball straight to Ben Reeves inside his own area and the Dons number 10 squared to Grigg for a simple tap-in.
The home side were aggrieved not to have been awarded a penalty early in the second half when a shot from Dean Bowditch struck Evans on the arm, but in the 63rd minute they added a second goal.
After United again conceded possession cheaply, Grigg sprayed a pass wide to Reeves, who crossed for Grigg to beat De Gea with an outrageous chested finish from 10 yards.
There was more misery to come for United, whose seventh-place finish last season was their worst since 1990. With 20 minutes remaining, Reeves displayed his disdain for the visiting defence with a showy no-look through ball for substitute Afobe, who held his nerve to sweep the ball past De Gea.
Belatedly, United rallied, with Adnan Januzaj hitting the post, but with six minutes left Afobe charged through three weak challenges before slamming home to complete a humiliating night for English football's misfiring giants.

6 company culture attitudes that kill growth
Company culture is the most undervalued strategy but significant dependency for success in developing a growth centric company. Technical talent and strategic focus are important to the success but skills and strategy can only take a company so far. A company must culturally reward growth.
When I meet with companies for growth advice, I like to ask the following questions and listen to what a company says and doesn't say.
Facebook is losing ground to Google
As Facebook continues its expansion to be the largest internet service of all time, Facebook maybe losing the battle to Google in one of its core drivers of user growth, open standard for authentication or "OAuth". From July 2012 to March 2013, Facebook Connect appears to be losing ground to Google Connect at an alarming rate due to losing user trust and preventing "spamming" a user's Facebook friends.
Interview a Growth Hacker with Greg Tseng
When writing my TechCrunch series on growth hacking, I was very fortunate enough to chat with one of the legends on growth, Greg Tseng. Greg is the founder of Tagged, a social network for meeting new people. He has advised or worked at HomeRun, Flixster, Hi5, and LinkedIn. He has led numerous apps to over a million users.
Here is what Greg had to say about growth hacking.
Ecquire on Growth
Converting a visitor to an active user is a difficult task. Most product teams focus on the initial landing page but forget one of the top activation strategies is a well-designed tutorial that encourages new users to complete key tasks that leads to activation.
When I signed up for Ecquire a few days ago (a tool that fixes outdated contact information in CRMs through detecting and capturing relevant data sources from all across the web), I was very impressed with the attention to detail and creativity in their activation flow, so I reached out to the team to hear their inspiration.
Benchmarking Mobile App Retention
Most of entrepreneurs haughtily think that their product is unique, but at the market level, undeniable trends emerge in how people use categorically similar products. It is important for a good growth strategy to understand how your retention and session frequency compares to your peers. Knowing this will highlight your product's strengths and weaknesses.
Last week, Flurry released an updated benchmark for mobile app retention and session frequency based upon sampling of thousands of applications that can be used to baseline user behavior and focus a growth strategy.
Two ways to look at growth
"Growth hacking" is reaching into the mainstream mindset. Recently, Seth Godin wrote a post on the renewed focus of growth and cited one of my TechCrunch articles. As more and more companies are looking to recruit and form a growth team, it is essential to understand the needs of each company and to spend time on strategies that will have a significant impact on the numbers. Growth strategies fall into two meta-categories: pouring traffic into the funnel and optimizing the flow of traffic inside the funnel.
The most talked about element of growth is virality and new user acquisition. Both of these elements focus on thru-put in the funnel and less on the funnel itself.
Everyone should be replaceable
Startup founders are required by an unspoken law to repeat the mantra, "I only hire A-players". The desire to find and employ the best talent is grounded in minimizing team risk and fostering the best environment for growth. The wrong team can destroy a startup's fragile culture and slow the team down, which threatens the life of a startup.
No company should hire the wrong team willfully; however, like Moneyball, what matters is how your team interacts with each other and rather than the individual talent of each team member. Don't hire A-players blinding but hire for your culture, the needs of your team, and the long-run health of your company.
Interview a growth hacker with Mike Greenfield
Practically understanding and implementing growth can be a real challenge. I sat down recently in sunny Palo Alto with Mike Greenfield, Growth Hacker-In-Residence at 500 Startups and co-founder of Circle of Moms, to talk about living a growth minded culture and his work experience at some of the fastest growing companies in the valley. Here is what he had to say.
Tell me about your past and how you came to be a growth hacker.I wouldn't necessarily call myself a growth hacker, but I've certainly come to appreciate the importance of growth, and I understand a number of the dynamics that make it happen.LinkedIn hired me when they had 250,000 users and the scale of their data was becoming interesting. Reid and company knew that virality and growth were important and that data would be valuable, and they brought me on to help formalize that. At the time, there were no cleanly defined terms like "growth hacker" or "data scientist", so I was figuring things out as I went along (and going back and forth between being growth-y and scientist-y).

While the main prizes for this summer's free agency class will be LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Bosh, there are still a slew of solid role players and some budding stars mixed in. While the Lakers clear plan A and B revolve around the three superstars, plan C appears to include targeting said role players.
According to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, the Lakers have their eyes set on a handful of players assuming they miss out on the big names this summer.
If they are unable to land Anthony or James, the Lakers are also expected to have a strong interest in Washington free-agent forward Trevor Ariza, Raptors guard Kyle Lowry, Detroit center Greg Monroe and Phoenix forward Channing Frye, according to sources.
The most notable name, at least to Lakers' fans, is Ariza, who was a key cog in the 2009 championship squad. However, the Lakers swapped him out for the artist formerly known as Ron Artest, who himself had a huge role in the Lakers 2010 title. Nevertheless, Ariza still continues to impress at just 28-years old, and has rightfully positioned himself for a possible return to LA.
Both Lowry and Monroe signify the Lakers attention to younger players, acknowledging the need to prepare for the future. Lowry is one of the best all-around point guards in the league and Monroe has impressed in his time in Detroit and may see himself receive a max deal this summer.
Let us know below which of the four possible free agents you'd like to see in purple and gold.

Turboprop Baron Under Development
Spokane, Wash.-based Rocket Engineering is developing the Turbine P/Baron in parallel with the Royal Turbine Duke program. The Baron conversion, which fits two PT6A-21 turboprops and Hartzell four-blade full-feathering-reversing metal props to the light twin, costs about $700,000 (airframe additional). The company plans to have an STC in about 12 to 18 months. According to a spokesman, the engineering, cowling molds and motor mounts are complete, and the factory began work late last month on Turbine P/Baron S/N 001. The re-engined Baron is expected to have a takeoff run of 1,000 feet, 5,000-fpm climb rate and cruise at 300 to 305 knots. According to Rocket Engineering, the engines will burn between 300 and 350 pph for a maximum range of about 1,100 nm.

To pizza or not to pizza, that is the question. At least that is what appears to be the crucial topic in youth ministry by a simple observation of Leadership Journal this year. In the Spring 2011 volume of Leadership Journal, a cover story "A Red Bull Gospel" takes readers to page 33 where you find a large picture of pizza with this subtitle, "It takes more than pizza and video games to give people a faith that endures". A few months earlier, in the Fall 2010 edition, on page 13 you find two articles about youth ministry and pizza, "Pizza Still Works", and "The Fading of Youth Ministry". In this edition the two stories are placed right next to each other on the same page and espouse contradictory messages about the use of pizza in ministry. "Pizza Still Works" tells readers to email the pastor for details of their effective outreach. "The Fading of Youth Ministry" tells us "They're not even coming for the pizza anymore".

Does God "Hate" Sinners?
As I was hanging out with a bunch of friends at In-N-Out a few weeks ago a friend of mine told me about a sermon she recently heard. In the sermon the pastor, of whom I always here great things, was said to have told his congregation that God hates sinners and that is a basis for God's amazing love for sinners. It really didn't sit right with me. I am a proponent of total depravity, but honestly I couldn't believe anyone could say that. It is not true, and even if I am wrong, it not wise.
In a few follow-up conversations my friend shared some scriptures with me that seemed to support this view. As I started to look into it, the easiest way for me to capture my response was in a short paper. I decided to attach it here. (It has a few Hebrew words that might not show up correctly if you don't have the fonts installed, but honestly you don't need them to get the gist of it unless you know Hebrew.)
What is the BEST way to help in Haiti for Christians?
Here is a disclaimer… There is so much happening right now in Haiti that I hope no words, thoughts or disagreements will slow the aid to the desperate physical, emotional and spiritual needs that are so abundant right now.
I will just come out and say it… There is something that bugs me about how some Christians are responding to the needs in Haiti right now. Really it is a deeper philosophical issue that I have with the approach of local churches and ministers, but it is just on display right now. The thing that bugs me is not that some churches and ministers are actually helping; they are! And because of that I am thankful. Sitting on our hands and doing nothing would be more tragic then anything I am going to say. But my concern is that we are not providing the BEST help that we can for the sake of Christ.

How To Leave Your Church or Ministry
I remember the day in college when I went into my youth pastor's office and started crying when I told him I was going to step out of the leadership team. If you know me I don't do these two things very often… quit and cry. For some reason my emotions just overwhelmed me.
Over the last 10-15 years I have led a lot of leadership teams. I have seen some great exits and some terrible ones. Usually I see two versions…
1) The fade – The person just fades off the radar and loses touch. This is usually initiated by some new event in their life (a new job/class/major/boy or girl friend, etc). Usually the fade is a bad exit.
2) The train wreck – The person gives you a call the day of event and says they won't be there, in fact they never will because they are leaving for good.
When I follow up on these exits the people normally tell me they have been praying about it for a while and it is what God wants them to do. This leads me to question a lot of their process and understanding of how God communicates. But my main wish is that the person simply would have brought me into the process earlier so I can help them.
As opposed to a recent major ministry strategic planning meeting I was involved in, I am not into "retaining" people. I want them to respond to the seasons of their life with the support of an encouraging community. This is one reason I try to celebrate people who are leaving our ministry on good terms. I want to say "well done" in front of all their friends as we pray them into their next assignment in the Kingdom of God.
Along these lines I saw this post and thought it had some great recommendations:
Thinking of leaving your church? Here's how I would do it…
* I would write a letter to the pastors and leaders. In this letter, I would talk about the way God had changed my life through the ministry of that church. I would talk about how some of my family members met Christ there, were baptized, went on missions trips and more. I would talk about how my own thoughts and beliefs were formed through my years at the church. I would talk about how I am more like Christ because of my time there. I would tell stories of specific retreats or camps or services where my life (or those of my family) was changed because of the church and it's; leaders.
* In this letter, I would not gripe or complain. I would not talk about the stuff I don't like or decisions with which I disagree.
* In a short paragraph, I would say that "my wife and I have decided to attend and serve in a different church for this next season of our spiritual growth."
* I would end the letter by assuring the pastor that he/she will never hear us talk badly about this church. I would encourage the pastor to feel free to share this letter with anyone who questions why we left.
* THEN, and this is most important, I would not mail this letter. Rather, I would set an appointment with the pastor and I would hand-deliver the letter. I would read it aloud to him–or ask him to read it in my presence. I would re-state my love for him and profound thanks for the ministry he had in my life.
* Then I would walk away and keep my promise. I would never speak negatively to anyone about that church. In fact, when people asked, I would say, "God changed my life at that church!"
Questions for my daughter's prospective husband
I have two wonderful daughters. Erin and I have already been praying for their future husbands for years, and the girls are only 2 and 4 years old!
I like these questions below. But I think I would add one about his commitment to Christ.
A young man asked a girl's father for his daughter's hand in marriage. I know the father and the questions he asked the young man come as no surprise to me.
1. Have you prayed about this? What has God said? How do you know?
2. Of all the girls in the world, why our daughter?
3. Tell us what love means to you.
4. What does it mean to you to be a godly husband? What does it mean to be a godly father?
5. What does it mean to you to serve your wife? To sacrifice for her?
seanmcgever.com lets see where this goes…
So I decided to start a new blog. I have ylhelp.com, rmdcamps.com and a few other things going. But I want to start posting some other thoughts that don't fit nicely in those categories.
A couple areas I might talk about:
- Theology
- Technology
- Leadership
- Education
- Mentoring
- Who knows maybe even golf, basketball, coaching high school sports, thoughts about other blogs…
I guess we will see where this goes…

No one wants the job, so leave him in charge and don't saddle him with Russell. Matt Bowen
If you could be any head coach in the NFL, would you even bother to choose the Raiders' Tom Cable?
Cable rubbed off on me this past season in a good way. I liked the way his team played competitive football — once JaMarcus Russell was put on the bench where he belonged — and I liked that they could win games by running the football and playing good defense.
I even wrote about it a couple of weeks back, saying that Cable is the guy who should be the head coach in Oakland for the 2010 season. But once again, with some leeway — as in, he doesn't have to play Russell.
But as we wait for the ax to fall from Al Davis' desk on Cable, we are now hearing reports that the owner is out there shopping the current coach's job on the open market. Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh was reportedly offered Cable's job, and we here at the NFP have heard that CFL coach Marc Trestman is in the mix as well.
So if you're Cable right now, you're fully aware that your job is being auctioned off. Imagine that, you're just waiting for the phone call from the owner to pack your belongings at clean out your office.
But there's a catch out in Oakland — and that is, no one wants the job. The scenario is not much different than what we saw played out in Buffalo since the end of the season that eventually landed Chan Gailey. The Raiders are searching, asking and contacting coaches — and no one is biting,
Does that mean Cable will be back in Oakland next season, forced to play Russell at quarterback? As the NFP's Michael Lombardi wrote Wednesday, whoever is the head coach in 2010 will have a top priority of squeezing something out of Russell.
Good luck with that.
I like the Raiders up front on both sides of the ball. They're physical, and they can win games with Cable running the show — in a style that's not much different than what we're seeing now with the Jets and what we've grown accustomed to with the Ravens over the years.
Speaking of the Ravens, QBs coach Hue Jackson interviewed yesterday in Oakland for the offensive coordinator job, according to the NFP's Aaron Wilson. I was with Hue under Steve Spurrier on the 2003 Redskins, and he's a name that could also show up on the radar for the vacant OC job in Chicago.
But why interview Jackson for the OC job when you don't even have an idea who the head coach will be?
Do you see where I'm going here? To call it dysfunctional would be an understatement. Cable needs to be the head coach in Oakland next season, with some control over the game plan, if this origination wants to win. Let Cable make some decisions and sit back and watch the Raiders win football games — his way.
I understand that I'm suggesting something to Davis that won't be granted, nor will it even be entertained, but let's be honest here: Cable can coach.
However, as long as Davis insists that Russell act as the catalyst for the offense, his job search is going to come up dry. Would you take that gig? I wouldn't, and I know that if Cable stays, he's going to be stuck with a bust at QB and an owner who has too much control.
I have to think that this is what Raider Nation wants, but the rest of the AFC West has to be smiling, knowing what's probably going to transpire in Oakland.
The Raiders have a coach, and that's why I am voting Cable for 2010 — without the baggage of a first-round QB who needs to go.

Topics: Politics, Mental Health, Medicaid, Health Reform
Apr 24, 2012
The 2012 campaign is seeing charges - true and false - about what the health care law will do.
The New York Times: Conservative Groups Spending Heavily In Bid To Win A Senate Majority
Except for the candidate, and the phone number that flashes on screen at the end, the ads follow a strikingly similar script. Senator Fill-in-the-Blank supports business-smothering regulations and will raise your taxes. He also added trillions to the deficit by voting for "Obamacare" and will cut your Medicare (Peters, 4/23).
Seattle Times: Cantwell Opponent Repeats Myths, Overstates Case On Health Law (Fact Check)
Mostly false: GOP Senate candidate Michael Baumgartner says U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell voted to take away our choice of doctors, to force us to buy the insurance she mandates, and to give our choice of treatments to an unelected board of bureaucrats (Song, 4/21).
The Hill: Protest By Catholic Activists May Hamper Obama Reelection Bid
President Obama has seen his standing among Catholic voters, a crucial segment of the electorate, slip in recent weeks, and a looming confrontation with Catholic activists could make it worse. …The administration's mandate requiring faith-based organizations to cover the healthcare costs of contraception has been the biggest cause of Catholics' concern (Bolton, 4/24).
The Hill: Capitol Police Arrest 76 Protestors, Including Actor Noah Wyle
Hundreds of people reportedly filled the [Cannon House office] building's rotunda Monday, demonstrating against cuts in Medicaid proposed by Republican House leadership. Many of the protesters were members of ADAPT, a grass-roots disability rights organization (Siegelbaum, 23).
Reuters: Noah Wyle Arrested At Protest In Washington
Actor Noah Wyle was arrested at a healthcare protest in Washington, D.C. on Monday, following in the footsteps of his former "ER" co-star George Clooney, who also taken into police custody at a recent political rally. Wyle, 40, best known for his roles in television dramas "ER" and "Falling Skies," took part in a protest with grassroots organization ADAPT seeking to stop cuts in funding for Medicaid that would affect medical services for the elderly (4/23).

Water tip: to make your water less boring, add a few orange slices! I drink quite a bit of water every day, so my Starbucks helps me keep things interesting in my cup :)
Stay hydrated this beautiful summer everyone!!

Hey girl!
I've been asked the same question so many times lately, which is good I guess because that means my followers are starting to understand how important it is to stay hydrated!
Honestly, the best way to get yourself to drink water- is to be strong and increase your water intake even though you don't enjoy it. If you really make a habit out of replacing ALL sodas and juices with just water, I promise within 21 days (which is how long it takes to form a habit) you're going to be CRAVING water.
Here's some tips to help you start out:
How to boost your water intake
Start slow, start with 3-4 glasses a day. Drink one glass before every meal, a glass right before you wake up and a glass right before bed. You'll be up to your goal in no time. After a while, you're going to be so used to drinking it, that you'll feel really dehydrated when you don't.
I'd print this chart out and put it on your fridge!
Water tips
A trick I tried and really LOVED, was adding fruit to my water. Just a few slices of lemons, or even some strawberries and cucumbers will make it taste SO refreshing and delicious.
Good luck, keep me posted on your progress!! You can do it, I promise :)

Yeah girl!
I'm kind of confused what you're asking, but yes it takes 21 days to make a habit stick. If you push through drinking the right amount of water for your body weight/height for 21 days, it will be MUCH easier to continue after that!
On a personal note, I used to REALLY not like drinking water. I would drink soda, juice, and everything BUT water. Then, I realized how important water is for our body and I really pushed myself to start drinking more.

Spruce up your water!
do what ever it takes to stay hydrated throughout the day. I get a LOT of questions as to how to start liking water if you're not used to drinking it… this is a GREAT way to start!
Add your favorite fruit :) Also, if you want to sweeten things up a bit- add a bit of honey as well!

Awe, thanks for being a creeper- I love it!!
That's what my blog is for, to share all the lovely Fitspirational tips and recipes I find :)
Glad you're staying hydrated, and are doing well. Don't forget, it's still possible to eat really healthy on a low budget. I'm a full time college girl, so I can make a mean salad with only $5 haha.
If you need some more healthy low-budget tips, I have TONS I can share with you.

So my Dad's doctor told him a few weeks ago that he has to go from drinking literally NO water (he drinks a lot of coffee) to 8 glasses…
So my boyfriend went out and bought him 2 flats of those huge bottles of water with 10 bottles in each flat.
Guess how many bottles he's taken in the last two weeks?
There's only three bottle missing… and my boyfriend and I both took one.
Am I going to tattle on him to his Doctor? YOU BET I AM!
He doesn't get to cheat on his water consumption when he has The Fitspirational Blonde as his daughter.

Water Weight
So you go out for the night and don't eat the healthiest options, the next day you step on the scale and the scale went up! You freak out that your night out made you gain weight. RELAX. What the scale is showing you is water weight.
What is water weight? Water weight is fluid retention. It is when your body is holding on to all the water in your body. This can cause you to get bloated, and see a higher number on the scale.
Why does this happen? This can happen for many reasons. Increased sodium intake, too many processed foods, not getting enough protein, not drinking enough water.
Not drinking enough water? Yes! The more water you drink the less water your body will retain. This is because when you drink a lot of water your body signals the organs that it is okay to let go of some of the water.
How to get rid of water weight? By drinking more water, cutting out processed and high sodium foods, sweating, cutting carbs.
Cutting carbs- although cutting carbs can help you lose water weight this will not help you lose fat. This is also not healthy. Many fad diets promise large amounts of weight loss in a small amount of time by drastically cutting carbs, however this weight will be gained back very quickly because it is not actually fat loss.
Water weight and fat are very different. This is why you should not freak out if you see a higher number on the scale. Fat is burned by being active, building muscle, and eating a proper amount of calories for your body.
So in conclusion if you see a high number of gain or loss on the scale in a rapid amount of time it is most likely water weight. Also make sure to get enough water everyday!
This is a great mini-read guys! It's important to understand that your body retains water, and it's NOT fat.
That's why I'm always pushing how important it is NOT to judge your success by that number on the scale. That number means nothing.
Stay hydrated, stay confident.

Take a second right now to think… have you had any water in the last hour?
If not, stop scrolling and drink just one glass.
Depending on your body type, you should be drinking 6-8 glasses EVERY DAY. more than 60% of the population doesn't even drink 3 glasses.
Work your way up to 6-8 glasses. START NOW!
(via skinny-healthy-confident)
Now THIS is what I call fruit water!
No preservatives, not artificial coloring… just REAL FRUIT!
(Source: jessaleks, via pursuitof-fitandcurvy)
But really, it's so hot outside. Sometimes when you think your body is telling you you're hungry, it's actually screaming for water.
Try drinking a glass of water before your next meal. Wait 5 minutes and then go for food.
You will eat less because your body will be able to tell the difference between dehydration and hunger!
College tip- if you have a day PACKED with classes like I do, bring a water bottle with you! If you keep yourself hydrated, you'll be less tempted to grab a soda when you start sweating walking from class to class.

I'm out to lunch with my best friend at this adorable new cafe that just opened up in beautiful San Diego. We both ordered water at lunch, which inspired this post!
3 reasons why you should choose water over soda at a restaurant:
1.) Price- If you're constantly ordering soft drinks when you dine out, you're basically spending money to deteriorate your health. Save yourself the $2.75 glass of sugary cavaties, and stick with pure water!
2.) Lemon water- Adding a lemon to your water has so many health benefits. Mindbodygreen.com says it has a great source of vitamin C, balances your PH levels, aids weight loss because it balances your Alkaline levels. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather be improving my health at lunch then deteriorating it.
3.) Hydration- Did you know soda actually dehydrates your body? When you drink soda, it tricks your body into thinking it wants salty foods. Thus, you'll be more likely to order an unhealthy option on the menu. Also, a lot of the time when you think you're hungry- you're actually just dehydrated. By drinking water before every meal, you'll eat less.
Choose water over soda!

Gun Free Zones are Self-Defense Free Zones! What do these mass shootings have in common? They were locations that banned guns! Even the Fort Hood terrorist shooting took place on a "secure" military installation. The Portland mall shooting was mitigated by a citizen with a concealed weapon (the media didin't tell you that fact). The goverenment can't even protect a few soldiers on a secure base, what makes you think the government can protect all of us all the time? It's impossible. Citizens MUST retain the innate right to defend ourselves!

In response to one of the earlier comments ... I would never, ever consider sending my child to a school that made a comment that my child needed to go to school with "normal" kids before accepting him .... that is crazy. My kid transitioned to Highland Park High School from Shelton, It might not be private but it is considered one of the top public schools in Texas and in the country. My very normal child is excelling academically and socially ... making some of the most competitive teams at the school and performing with 3.5 GPA. I would love to know what private school that is because I would happily march my very normal, beautiful and accomplished daughter in and prove them wrong about their ludicrous comment.
My friends son goes to this school. He is entering 9th grade next year so she wanted to transfer him into a regular private school. He was denied and told that he needs to show that he can learn among "normal" kids for at least 2 years in a regular school curriculum before he would be accepted. Heads up!
My daughter has attended Shelton for the past 4 years and I can not say enough about how wonderful this school is. My daughter has not only excelled academically but socially as well. Incredible teachers and an excellent learning environment.
[shelton] shelton is not the best school like people say i go here and let me say i do not enjoy it. Its not the environment you would want your child in. I would suggest you look for other learning different schools.
I was a shelton student from 5th grade to 7th grade. Of course there are some mean kids but there are everywhere. I made some of my best friends at shelton, and i still cherish my memories. I switched in 8th grade for more of a challenge but to this day, i still regret it. What i love most about shelton is the way they teach, the community that shelton has, and the shorter classes(50 min) Shelton changed my life. --Student
Lifechanging That pretty much sums up our experience at Shelton. My kids are both dyslexic and ADD and before Shelton were on the path to nowhere at best in two different school systems who didn't understand them or how to teach them. Shelton has not only brought their academic status up to grade level but it has taught them about their LD and how to work with it going forward in life in a way that will make them successful. As in every school there are issues with a few teachers and even a few parents but that's just a part of life - anywhere. The school was originally for dyslexia students so that has been and still is their main focus but in recent years there has been a concerted and sucessful effort to raise the academic standards overall. Thieir standards today are higher than many other private prep schools.
Can't say enough great things about this school! This is our first year and we love it! Our son who has dyslexia, dsygraphia, and ADHD is blossoming at Shelton. They just know how to teach this type of child and he's thriving. His test scores indicate he is right on target with other kids his age. He loves school so much that he can't wait to go in the morning and WANTS to go to summer school. He'd rather be at school than just about any other place. We love Shelton!
I feel that Shelton is one of the best schools around. I've been working Scholars with Joan Dodd, and she is a great teacher to work for. My only complaint is i'm only parttime on Saturdays, but would love to work for Shelton fulltime. No other school can compare with them.
I graduated from Shelton High School years ago, and I can say for sure that my experience at Shelton was remarkable. The teachers at Shelton go out of their way for kids, more than most teachers at any other school. I think our Theater department is the best in the city. Our athletic department is gradually making improvements every year from what I hear but their main focus is academics, not athletics. You really can't find a better prep school anywhere in the state of Texas for learning different students than Shelton. I hear they are also adding AP courses and they are expanding their music department as well. Every year they are getting better, soon it will the talked about as one of the best private schools in Dallas, I believe.
I did not find that the school was as nurturing as 'advertised'. There are many very warm people there, but the school feels exclusive and elitist. If you do not have the 14K+ tuition and lots more to contribute to the many fund raising events - you are left feeling like you just don't belong.
Highly Recommend Shelton. Very high quality of academic programs, staff very helpful with children, teachers very knowledgeable especially with kids with learning differences.
My older son with dylexia has excelled at this school. He has severe ld and has blossomed at Shelton. My son with ADHD and Ld that were not severe fell behind academically while attending Shelton.
I love this school. In 4 weeks my son's attitude and disposition have improved dramatically. He came from a district that ripped his self esteem away. He is feeling good about himself again due to the wonderful team at Shelton! Thank you!
Shelton is geared to students with learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD and many, many others. The evaluation center and various professionals are just amazing resources. The teachers are highly trained, compassionate and very concerned about the welfare of the individual child. Each child is evaluated for the best learning program for his or her needs. Student/teacher ratio is approximately 12:2. Finally, the support network is incredible. There are other parents, educators and professionals who know just what you are going through and who know just how bright your child is.

With summer approaching (weather depending of course) it's not only time for some new wardrobe pieces (Printed shorts? Metallic sandals? Impractical sunnies?) but also time to revisit the skincare department. As temperatures rise, it becomes less comfortable to wear a face full of makeup. And with a good foundation (and I don't mean liquid or powder) you won't have to.
SS14 typically refers to the Spring/Summer 2014 collections but today we're giving it a whole new meaning — Summer Skin 2014 (after all, having good skin is always in fashion).

Birds like the natural branch perch
posted 5 years ago
This is a good idea for them to make perches that are real branches. I think my birds like the natural feel of sitting on our perch. The diameter changes so it gives the feet some variation to help them stay healthy.
Pros: natural
Cons: none

The Top Private Bespoke Salons
One-of-a-kind pieces should be viewed in equally glorious surroundings. Here are three.
It's not a selling room, per se," says Tiffany & Co.'s Michael Kowalski of the new by-appointment-only Salon on the mezzanine of the Fifth Avenue flagship. "We like to think of it more as a discreet space where the discerning collector can view the best we have to offer and can work with our artisans and archives on custom design." To realize the "residential/work space" aesthetic it was after, the company turned to noted firm Robert A.M. Stern Architects, which imagined the central salon as "a living room where people bring you diamonds instead of martinis." Stern and his team worked in a palette of silver and pale grays punctuated with mirrored cast glass. Those colors and materials were chosen because, Stern says, "diamonds look better against neutrals, and if a woman comes in to make a ruby necklace to go with her red ball gown, it can't clash with the wall."
Which is not to say the architect has created a great, beige retail box. The Salon, just off Tiffany's Patek Philippe watch suite, consists of a series of rooms reached by a private elevator. Clients enter through two looming brass doors patterned after a 1956 Tiffany window display by Gene Moore. The waiting room is done in a pale robin's-egg blue—one of the few times that Tiffany's signature hue is referenced. "It's our own version of the color," Stern says. "There's just enough to make sure clients know they're not at Saks."
From that first moment, Stern's mission is to "cocoon clients in quiet splendor" as they wander through the suite into the main salon area, toward the phone room with its fully stocked wet bar, into the private dressing room, which is right off the atelier, where they can review sketches and mark the progress of their custom commissions on a bleached wood table. ("Jewelry," Stern notes, "looks best against rough surfaces.") Throughout, bronze vitrines inspired by 17th-century French decorative stands hold jewelry lit by specially commissioned LED lights that show the stones to maximum advantage while keeping them cool enough for clients to try on immediately. After all, as Stern points out, "no one should sweat at Tiffany's." —Stellene Volandes
The Salon is by appointment only. At 727 Fifth Ave.; 212-605-4200; tiffany.com.

Winning the division is what many NFL teams see as the first step towards a Super Bowl. Which current champs are most likely to retain their crowns?
AFC West: Denver Broncos
They went to the Super Bowl last year on the backs of the greatest offense in modern NFL history. The Denver Broncos are bringing most of that unit back and also made considerable additions to their defense with Demarcus Ware and Aqib Talib. Kansas City and San Diego remain prime threats, but did not improve enough to shift the balance of power in West.
2014 Outlook: Broncos retain
AFC South: Indianapolis Colts
Having the best quarterback in the division often makes winning the title so much easier. The Indianapolis Colts knew that with Peyton Manning and now they know it again with Andrew Luck. He is far and away the best of the AFC South. Granted, the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans have strong rosters to make a run at him and the Colts, but his growing experience and late-game heroics will prove too much.
2014 Outlook: Colts retain
AFC East: New England Patriots
It's like an old record player stuck on repeat. The New England Patriots haven't lost a division title in the NFC East since 2008 when Tom Brady injured his knee and was lost for the year. As long as he remains under center for the Pats they are favorites in that division. Teams like the Jets, Bills and Dolphins all have solid rosters building that will make life tough, but none of them know how to win with any consistency.
2014 Outlook: Patriots retain
AFC North: Cincinnati Bengals
From a pure roster standpoint, none is deeper and more formidable than the Cincinnati Bengals. They have offense and they have defense and it is almost all young and growing. On paper it looks like a Super Bowl contender, but with no playoff victories it's hard to give them a pass in that AFC North division, especially given the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens lurking in the background.
2014 Outlook: Bengals dethroned
NFC West: Seattle Seahawks
Winning in the toughest division in the NFL often prepares a team well for a championship run. The Seattle Seahawks furthered that belief by winning the murderous NFC West and riding it to a Super Bowl crown. Most of their roster is back and intact, but the division is back too, and perhaps stronger than ever. San Francisco remains the primary threat while Arizona and St. Louis improved considerably in the off-season.
2014 Outlook: Seahawks retain
NFC South: Carolina Panthers
It is really the only division that actually has a curse attached to it. Since its inception in 2002, the NFC South has never once seen a repeat champion. That does not bode well for the Carolina Panthers, who rode their dominant defense and Cam Newton to a 12-4 record in 2013. While rivals like New Orleans and Tampa Bay got a lot better, Carolina largely marched in place. That doesn't bode well for their chances.
2014 Outlook: Panthers dethroned
NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles
Chip Kelly was the revelation everybody thought he would be, turning the Philadelphia Eagles into an offensive powerhouse. That and the surprising emergence of Nick Foles at quarterback proved enough to go 10-6 and claim the NFC East. Now Foles is returning, as is most of the roster. Did the Eagles have a productive enough off-season to offset what Dallas, Washington and New York accomplished?
2014 Outlook: Eagles dethroned
NFC North: Green Bay Packers
For three-straight years the Green Bay Packers have stood atop the mountain of the NFC North. As stated before, having the best quarterback makes that possible and Aaron Rodgers may be the best in the entire NFL. However, the Packers' hold on the crown has looked a little weaker each season going from 15-1 in 2011 to 11-5 in 2012 to 8-7-1 in 2013. Meanwhile the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears continue to show less and less fear of the Packer mystique.
2014 Outlook: Packers retain

3. The community will need to give more thought to balancing costs with science objectives and priorities. More explicit decision rules for different budget contingencies might also prove helpful for program managers.
4. Finally, the community will have to look at different ways to construct a healthy and robust mission portfolio—for example, through partnerships and alternative platforms in addition to individual spacecraft and suborbital missions. Preparatory work to identify new technologies and readiness levels could be done ahead of any formal review and indeed could serve as an input to such a review.

Motorsports: Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth both strong at Dover
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
It was a good weekend for our local connections to NASCAR. Jimmie Johnson and his crew chief, former Rockfordian Chad Knaus, captured the checkered flag in the FedEx 400 Benefiting Autism Speaks at the Dover Speedway.
The win was Johnson's seventh at the track known as the "Monster Mile" and the 57th of his career.
The seven wins at Dover tie Johnson with NASCAR legends Richard Petty and Bobby Allison for most victories at the track.
His Lowe's Chevrolet was dominant throughout the race. He led 289 of the 400 laps, including the final 76. Johnson credited his crew in victory lane. "It was a total team effort today," he said.
Johnson has won two of the first 13 races this season. His other win this season came at Darlington May 12. The five-time former champion sits in fifth place in the season points standings as he makes a run for his sixth championship.
Cambridge, Wis., native Matt Kenseth wasn't far behind Johnson when he crossed the finish line. Kenseth grabbed the third spot right behind runner-up Kevin Harvick. His third-place finish helped bring him to within 1 point of series leader Greg Biffle. Rounding out the top five were Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Clint Bowyer.
Biffle finished in the 11th position and brought his series points total to 486. Kenseth has 485. Earnhardt Jr. moved up one spot in the standings. His fourth-place finish allowed him to leapfrog ahead of Denny Hamlin into the third position. Earnhardt Jr. has 476 points, Hamlin has 464 and Johnson has 453.
NASCAR racing continues this weekend on Sunday, June 10, at Pocono. Television coverage switches from FOX to TNT. Coverage begins at 11 a.m. local time.

|Sore ankle doesn't prevent Burress from practicing
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 07 November 2007 13:22
The injury has prevented Burress from practicing almost the entire first half of the season, and the routine did not appear likely to change with the Giants (6-2) coming off a bye week.
But Burress approached Coughlin after the morning walkthrough and asked if he could try to practice for the first time since Sept. 12.
``He went out with the intent of going through the individual drills,'' Coughlin said. ``He felt good after those, and we let him run one of every three or four plays for the first half of practice. He did well working under some limitations, like no jumping.''
The team teased Burress during the workout.
``The first ball I caught in practice, all my teammates started clapping,'' said Burress, who has caught 37 passes for 564 yards and a team-high eight touchdowns. ``I guess they got a big kick out of that and it was kind of funny.''
With a week off because of the bye, Burress felt that Wednesday would be a good day to get some work with quarterback Eli Manning prior to Sunday's showdown with the Dallas Cowboys (7-1).
``I did all the new plays, the wrinkles in the offense, some new formations and things like that,'' Burress said. ``I was mixing it up, going in and out and running some of the plays I thought it was important for me to be in and some of the plays that we'll be running this week.''
Burress spent the bye week undergoing rehabilitation for his ankle.
``It's getting a little stronger,'' he said. ``Hopefully, it can keep getting better as the season goes on. All I can really do is keep rehabbing and hope it keeps getting better.''
Halfback Derrick Ward (ankle and groin) and rookie receiver Steve Smith (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday.

Talk to your system administrator. [by gerald_clark]
Hi all,
I am trying to exchange hostname and IP address of two AIX machines.
But i am confused as how to change it ?
do i need to use "smitty mktcpip" or "smitty tcpip" ?
what is the difference between smitty mktcpip and smitty tcpip ?
Also anymore steps to follow or just updating using smitty is enough (hoping that no reboot is required)
Also below is the proce
I find a strange problem in my linux system.
Command dig, nslookup can get correct ip of hostname from dns server, while ping cannot get ip from dns server.
When I tried getaddrinfo function in c language, it showed me such error:
No address associated with hostname
My system is Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS .
You can use any one of the following methods to change the hostname and/or ip-address on RedHat related distributions. If you want to change only the hostname you can either do it from command line, or from GUI as explained below. To change the ip-address along with the hostname, follow the steps shown below. I.
So I noticed when you change your hostname, the hostname does not change in the dns entries..
I recently began having issues with my Arch box not allowing connections based on hostname. Not sure whats going on I can SSH into the box, view the webserver, ftp, etc assuming I am using the IP address. If I use the hostname, nothing works.I can nslookup from a Windows machine and see the IP is resolved..
I'm getting the mesage regulary inside mail.log from postfix. In special, but not only, at mails send received mailman.
warning: hostname localhost does not resolve to address ::1: No
address associated with hostname
::1 as well as 127.0.0.1 are defined as localhost inside /etc/hosts -- as provided by openVZ.
On this box bley is also running.
I have a question concerning setting up a connection to my website, www.gilroysistercities.org, using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4.
Before the switch to systemd, I was able to ssh between my two machines via user@hostname but now I get a "could not resolve hostname" error and have to use the IP address instead.
I have a problem that I'm dealing with from a long time... I'm creating an Android app that will get info of devices that are in the same subnet as an Android device.
For example I give it ip address 192.168.0.3 and it shows that its hostname is xxxx and MAC Address xx:xx:xx... .

Day 10 → Post a picture of your favorite royal evening gown: Left- Princess Madeleine of Sweden in Elie Saab; Right- Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden in Jenny Packham
Sorry. I'm cheating. But how could I possibly choose just ONE gown?! Both of the dresses above were worn by swedish princesses (sisters) to Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill's pre-wedding dinner in June 2013. The gowns are similar colors, but still very unique from each other. The intricate beading of Madeleine's gown I cannot get enough of, and Victoria's gown is cut, draped and tailored to perfection. I also love that the sisters chose more modern style's for the occasion.

The job approval ratings of George W. Bush and Barack Obama
were remarkably similar as they began their second terms in office -- in 2005
and 2013, respectively. Both Bush and Obama began in the low 50% range,
saw their ratings begin to drop in their fifth years, and both saw a modest
recovery coming into their sixth year in office. That remarkable convergence has come to an end.
Obama's ratings began a month-by-month rise at the beginning of this year -- going from 41% in January to 44% in April (and 45% so far in May). Beginning in February of his sixth year (2006) Bush's ratings began a dramatic month-to-month fall -- going from 43% in January to 32% in May. Thus, where the two presidents had job approval ratings within a couple of points of each other in January of their sixth years, five months later Obama's ratings are a remarkable 13 percentage points higher than Bush's were at this time in his presidency.
The initial similarity between Bush and Obama in their fifth years is no doubt coincidence; there is no necessary reason why one president's job approval ratings should be similar to those of other presidents at the same time in their tenures. Each presidency, basically, is unique. But it seemed to many observers that the two were following the same course. Now, it's a very different picture.
What happens from this point on, of course, remains to be seen. Bush's job approval recovered some as 2006 went on, but was still relatively weak at 37% for the month of October, immediately preceding the 2006 midterm election in which his party suffered major losses in the midterm elections. If Obama's job approval rating were to continue to climb up closer to the 50% mark, the climate would be significantly more favorable for Democrats this fall than if the opposite occurs and Obama's ratings were to fall down below 40%.
But much can happen over the next five months, particularly in terms of the economy, often the driving force behind a president's job approval rating. It's possible that the conventional wisdom focusing on the dismal re-election climate facing Democrats this year could need some modifications if Obama's performance measures do, in fact, climb higher.
It's interesting to note the similarity of the job approval ratings of two other post-World War II presidents in their fifth and sixth years. (Only four presidents before Obama since World War II were elected twice and served their full two terms: Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton, and George W. Bush.) The two of interest are Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, whose fifth and sixth year approval ratings I've added into the graph below. Both men had approval ratings in the mid-50% to the mid-60% range during their fifth and sixth years (1985-1986 and 1997-1998), respectively. Both saw their ratings tick up going into and through their sixth years. Reagan's October 1986 average was 63%, while Clinton's October 1998 average was 65%. Both men's political parties did well in the midterm elections in those years.
It's highly unlikely that Obama's job approval ratings are going to skyrocket up to the 60% range between now and November -- matching Clinton and Reagan's before their second midterm elections. It's possible, as well, that Obama's job approval ratings could turn south again, dropping down into George W. Bush range. But, at the moment, the key here is that Obama's performance ratings have been undergoing a renaissance of sorts in recent months, which everything else being equal, bodes better for his party in November than if those ratings had continued to sink.

WINDOW or AISLE?
The B-12 Patch Is Essential. So is soup.
Kale is Killing Awards Season
Kale is good. A few years ago, someone declared it A-Mazing and now kale is on every menu and every cooking show and blog and magazine. Kale is all dressed up, ready to join every party in your mouth (and that's how you use that tired phrase properly). But let's admit it, we're all a little tired of it aren't we? Kinda got kale fatigue? Oh, we keep smiling and nodding and eating that kale because it is good, it's just there are things we like to eat that are better, and… too much kinda makes your stomach hurt and makes you poop. No, no, we're not saying we don't like kale, we all agree, it's good. It's fine. It's just… Go away Anne Hathaway. You're headed into poop territory.

WTF is "jigsaw"???? People, listen closely: I will immediately de-friend or de-circle or de-follow you on any and all social media if you send me Jigsaw, LinkedIn (seriously, is this 2004?) or any other bunk social networking info. And to the idiots who are confusing me with someone else with my same name, don't you ever wonder why your loved one never emails you back? Doesn't this make you casually bring this up over potato salad and sangria at the next shindig you see her at, at which point, do you not just point blank say, "hmmm, let me double check your email address, oh, yup, gee whiz, I totally had that wrong," and then you slap your forehead and you both have a good chuckle even though it isn't really that funny, but that's what we do to fill silences, we fake laughter? No? You don't do this? I know! Because you keep emailing me. I tried to be understanding. I replied and let you know I would not be attending the family reunion because I was not the right Rachel. But now I'm getting angry. You're adding yourselves to my Google Plus. You're sending me inane updates about cousins that wouldn't be interesting even if I were related to you. And now the effin Jigsaw junk mail onslaught— my investigation into that is ongoing, but I'm blaming you. All of you idiots who keep emailing the wrong Rachel. Leave me alone!!!

Oh and while we're here, I stumbled across this today and made me miss Boulder:

"I am distressed by Orson's position on gay marriage. I hold the opposite view. But I loved the book. … Would I prefer to be doing a movie without controversy? Yes, but I'm not in the least distressed that we are having this conversation. It is a very important conversation. It's just odd that our film, which is all about tolerance, has to be used to counter of the author."
"It's hard to know where to begin to dismantle the smugness and intellectual dishonesty in Orson Scott Card's words. His assertion that gay rights are now "moot" in a country in which 37 states still consider my marriage unworthy of recognition is weak enough, but I'd rather move on to his self-serving appropriation of "tolerance." No group of people is required to tolerate those who would oppress them, but beyond that, Card is using calm and temperate language to disguise the extremity of his position. He's not simply against marriage equality; as recently as 2008, he publicly called for straight married Americans to unite in an effort to "destroy" their "mortal enemy," by which he meant a revolutionary overthrow of any U.S. government led by "dictator-judges" who support same-sex marriage. He's an off-the-spectrum hatemonger cloaking himself as a voice of principled opposition, and he richly deserves to be shunned."
Ender's Game is set more than a century in the future and has nothing to do with political issues that did not exist when the book was written in 1984.
With the recent Supreme Court ruling, the gay marriage issue becomes moot. The Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution will, sooner or later, give legal force in every state to any marriage contract recognized by any other state.
Now it will be interesting to see whether the victorious proponents of gay marriage will show tolerance toward those who disagreed with them when the issue was still in dispute."
