Tuesday Veteran's Day…
CrossFit Communities all over the world will celebrate Veterans Day tomorrow by doing the Three Wise Men tribute workout. The workout was designed to raise money to help those Veterans who have come home from war but are struggling with life after the military. It is a great way to pay tribute to all of our Veterans. The workout itself consists of 3 different named workouts: Jeremy, Ben and Beau. All three workouts are 4 minutes each with a 2 minute break between each workout. If you are interested in donating to the Three Wise Men fund, here is the link https://threewisemen.webconnex.com/midway2014-donate
Paleo Challenge Prize Winners…
Our first LuRong Paleo Challenge ended this Sunday. Everyone who participated did an amazing job. The workouts were not easy and added on to your weeks class workouts; they were darn right hard as ever. It was great to see many of you in the gym more often working out and getting the work done. After validating all of the scores, we will be giving prizes out to the top 3 winners using the stats that we get from LuRong. Everyone did an awesome job with the challenge and many of you had some amazing results. Just because the challenge is over doesn't mean you should stop and go back to your regular old eating habits … remember this is a lifestyle not diet. Keep making healthy choices and getting your workouts in every week. I will announce the winners this Friday morning.
Holiday Throwdown…
Many of you are patiently waiting for the announcement of our holiday Throwdown, which in past years was our Fall Throwdown. The expansion of the gym and our visit from the great Kendrick Farris has moved our awesome in house event to the holiday season. I know for many of you this is a busy time of year yet we want to make this a fun community weekend we all can enjoy. We have not set a date officially as I wanted to get feedback from all of you … When is the best weekend to have this event? We are looking for a Saturday afternoon in December the second or third weekend if possible. We will have the Throwdown in the afternoon and Christmas Party in the evening. The format will be the same 2 person, same sex partners. We are looking at 3 to 4 events plus the final. Only CFSF members are allowed to compete; this is a fun event for all skill levels with workouts that have straight forward movements. Start looking for a partner and get ready to compete and have a ton of fun.
Winter Weather Policy..
Winter Weather is upon us as it is getting cold. The snow is starting to fly through the air which means we are going to have bad weather along with Sioux Falls Schools having late starts and cancellations at times. Remember if the Sioux Falls public schools are opening late or canceled, CrossFit Sioux Falls is also opening late which means NO Early Morning classes. 5:30am and 6:30am will be cancelled immediately upon the closing of Sioux Falls Public Schools due to weather. We want to keep YOU and our trainers safe and this assures everyone is notified in advance. The first class of the day will be 8:30am at the earliest; please check Facebook or we will do our best to update Mindbody Scheduler as fast as possible (though the early morning could be incorrect FYI). If you are on facebook please check for updates on opening times, along with early closing times because of bad weather as well. We will try to let everyone know in advance so that you have time to plan your workout and day accordingly.
The New Space ("The Cube")..
Many of you have been asking about the new space and what we are going to use it for. The new space is amazing and as the cold sets in the ability to workout outside becomes smaller and smaller. Many of our class sizes are growing bigger and bigger and the new space allows us to spread out and split classes if needed. We are also planning a future using it for CrossFit Kids class, both group and private kids classes, early morning intro classes, more Barbell Club classes, and we are looking at adding some night endurance classes a couple times a week. All of this said, we will do our best to roll it out in a coordinated fashion and make the best additions rather then just tossing up random tests. So in the meantime, we hope you benefit from it at a minimum by just having even more equipment and space in our large room as we build ahead in an organized manner.
Please make sure you are not taking any of the equipment out of "The Cube" and make sure any equipment that you bring in gets out! The coaches and myself have worked hard to make the new space clean and usable for all! We will be adding some open gym times to the space during normal class times this winter for those of you who want to get your lifts in or do skill work; we will be posting times on the door as they are available.
Thanks all.
-Liza and team.

Next-Gen Prius to Get Technology Tested in Toyota's Le Mans RacerPosted
Read more
Race on Sunday, sell on Monday; the old adage is most certainly used by automakers' marketing departments as they try to make some short of connection between their on-track success and the models they actually sell to the public.
The truth is, though, that these days racing technology is so sophisticated, and thus costly, that its use on everyday cars is all but prohibited. Sure, some of it eventually trickles down eventually on production models but not quite in the same form – even if those PR departments would like us to believe otherwise.
Toyota, however, went the other way around, as it is already testing certain parts of the current Prius replacement in its TS040 Hybrid Le Mans racer, which currently leads the championship standings.
"Our components already have parts from the next-generation Prius", president of Toyota Motorsport GmbH Yoshiaki Kinoshita told Autonews. Although he wasn't willing to go into much detail, Kinoshita said that they weren't mechanical parts but rather preproduction prototypes of microchips and microcontrollers that are tested for longevity in the harsh environment of endurance racing.
One thing the racer and the street-going hybrids have in common is the need for fuel efficiency. The TS040 has been redesigned in order to reduce its consumption by 25 percent compared to the 2013 TS030 car while, at the same time, increasing a much higher output of 1,000HP to the previous racer's 750!
Kinoshita revealed that one technology that most certainly won't feature in the fourth-generation Prius is the racing car's electric power storage system. That's because the former uses supercapacitors for its braking energy storage and subsequent release, an energy flow that happens much faster than in any street car that's perfectly OK with batteries.
Then there are the semiconductors, which manage the energy flow between the hybrid's battery, motor and generator. Toyota revealed last May that it has developed a silicon carbide semiconductor that can increase fuel efficiency by 10 percent and that it plans to commercialize it in around six years' time. Probably after they have been thoroughly tested on a future hybrid racer for a sufficient amount of time, we presume.

Vietnam era memo: CIA spying on Americans
The revelations, while more than 30 years old, carry with them a whiff of the current debate over the wiretapping of U.S. phone lines by the National Security Agency without court permission and the Pentagon's monitoring of anti-war groups.
The 1975 memorandum written by Associate Attorney General James Wilderrotter was obtained by the National Security Archive in Washington and raises the curtain on nearly 700 pages of documents known as the "family jewels," which detail the CIA's legally questionable activities from that era.
The memo details a meeting in which CIA Director William Colby outlined the "skeletons" in the CIA's closets, apparently in response to articles in the New York Times detailing some of those activities.
Among them was the admission that in 1963 the CIA tapped the phones of two columnists, Robert Allen and Paul Scott, in an attempt to learn the identity of one of their sources. He noted that the CIA reports called the wiretap "very productive" in that they heard conversations with 12 senators and six congressmen. The CIA, however, was unable to ascertain the identity of the leaker.
In 1972 the CIA conducted "personal surveillance" on Washington Post columnist Jack Anderson and his staff. They were followed, but their phones were not tapped. From 1971 to 1972 the CIA also followed Washington Post reporter Mike Getler.

Sheds everywhere!
I was so excited to get this rug. It looked just like the picture but after a couple of hours I noticed that the rugs sheds everywhere! I thought maybe I would just need to vacuum it once to get rid of it, but it's CONSTANTLY happening! I've had it for 3+ weeks now and I have to vacuum my apartment almost everyday because I see the green fuzz all over the place. If I kneel down on it, I am covered in the tiny green fibers. I'm hoping it will eventually stop, but it's not looking good. It looks like a nice rug, especially right after I vacuum, but definitely not something I would recommend buying.Read More
Excellent Rug
This rug is very soft and the color is a perfect yellow- exactly as shown in the picture. I rolled it out and it laid flat right away. I used it with a rug pad to give it a little bit more cushion over a stone tile floor. It adds so much warmth and vibrancy to the room- I love it, love it, love it. I have not had too many problems with "shedding" and it vacuums very easily. I have it in a high-traffic area and so far it has help up well.Read More
Happy with purchase, one note about "Ivory"
Very happy with the rug, good quality and a great price! Only comment for others looking at this rug is that the Ivory version is actually beige. I wouldn't call it ivory at all. So if you're looking for something beige/almost tan & chocolate brown, this rug is great. But if you're looking for something off-white or ivory, you're probably not going to be happy. Beige worked for me and I'm keeping it.Read More
Do not buy this rug. First of all, the rug appears bold and vibrant on the website. In person however, it is dull and appears dirty. I bought the rug in gold and while I like that color, what seems to be white on the website is actually cream. Now, this may hold for all wool rugs, I'm not sure, but it sheds like crazy. I have the the rug in a room with wood floors and it creates all kinds of dust bunnies in the corners, under the bed, under the furniture, etc. It actually makes my room feel unclean. As a result, I vacuum more often. Unfortunately, the rug sheds so much that my vacuum bag is full of carpet fibers. I've actually had to switch bags several times and those things usually last forever. Overall, I am really disappointed with this purchase. While I hate to throw away money, I know I will not be able to live with this rug. I am going to donate it and look for something new.Read More
Great room rug
I read a bunch of the reviews before deciding to take a chance and purchase the rug. I absolutely love it! It is beautiful and a great quality. The color is perfect for brightening up the room and giving us something soft under our feet. It does shed but if you vacuum regularly it's fine. I would buy this again in a heart beat...I am actually hoping to find it in a runner to put by the front door because I love it so much. You can tell when it's time to vacuum because you will see some collection of the rug bits as well as dirt, but a quick vacuum makes it look like new again. We love it and our dogs do too!Read More

Questions & Answers
Hello Dorothy, I hope your day is going well. The top left corner is the rust rug. Thank you for shopping with us.
What color is with the Ivory rug?
Hello arden66, this rug is so beautiful! The ivory option has a steel blue design. I hope this information helps. Thank you for shopping with us.
Does the rug "curl" on the corners that you know of over time? If so is it returnable? I can't have it as a tripping hazard.
I bought this rug for my son's nursery and have had it for over a year now without any problems with the corners curling. I love it. However, it does shed a bit. I vacuum it at least twice a week. However, we have a dog, so that's is why I vacuum so often.
No curling here either - nice and thick!
No curling here!
We have had the rug for about 2 months and no curling has occurred. It's a pretty heavy rug so I don't anticipate this being a problem.
I am wondering what color is the white on the green rug? can't tell if it is cream or off white or just white.
Hello cupcake207, we appreciate your inquiry. The accent on the green rug is more of an ivory (off white). We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have a great day!
On the Gold rug it is a off white color, i would think it might be the same with the green rug.
Hello, I was wondering if you could please clarify the color of the light blue option. It looks like it has a teal blue tinge or is it more a sky blue color?

I am interested in the rust color. If this is possible to answer, is it more "redish" or "orangish?" Also, is the border white or more of a cream/tan color?
Thank you for your interest. The rust is a lighter shade of burnt orange. The border is white. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
How do you get the horsey animal woolly smell off the carpet? My rust carpet stinks.
Thank you for your question. It is suggested that you air this out outside in a garage type area for a few days. Febreeze may help as well. Have a great day!
How do i get my rug to stop shedding?? I use it in the living room and my kids play on it all day....i cant have it shedding like it does with them playing on it.
Thank you for your question. A lot of shedding is very common with wool rugs. The rug will stop shedding on its own. It does take a few weeks, as time goes on, the shedding decreases. Also, vacuum the rug regularly, this will help as well.

Levi x Reader: A Victim and a Slave 5Warning: Mild violence but nothing scary.
Dr. Reiner Braun.
The name of the man who walked in on you and Erwin.
And the name of the man you suspected as the criminal behind the 8 murders and the hospital attacks.
"Do whatever you can find evidence that he's behind the hospital attacks."
That's what Erwin had instructed you, but to your dismay, you hadn't found any real proof to incriminate the doctor for the past week. Sure, you connected the dots between Dr. Braun and the hospital staff and patient victims as they had been under his guidance and care, but there was no solid evidence of his involvement in the attacks. So you decided to take matters into your own hands.
"Good evening, Dr. Braun!" you greeted him with a smile as he looked up from his charts. You both had just started night shift duty.
"Ah, good evening, Nurse ________. How was the patient in Room 143 doing?" Dr. Braun asked as he lifted his pen to note down your response.
"Well, his vitals were XXX, YYY, ZZ

But alas, the world of fashion also had its own terminology, and the word Levi found that best described you was:
Well, a lot of design styles were best left unconquered, mysterious, unexplainable....even shady.
But you, Levi was not willing to let remain that way. You were like a puzzle, and he desired to put the pieces together. It had been about 3 days since Levi decided to investigate all your dirty little secrets, and he started his search by examining you scurry to and fro around the office, watching closely what you were doing and taking note of who you were interacting with.
You, on the other hand, had much better things to do like putting effort into finding the RE
Levi x Reader: Bitch please, it's fabulous 4Levi really did pick you up at 8 am sharp. He was wearing more casual clothes, slacks and a white button up shirt with a cravat.
'What a fancy piece of fine ass,' you thought as you eyed him. You had opted to dress less frumpy today since you were representing Erwin and his wife. You adorned a light blue blouse and white skirt with flower patterns.
Levi, of course, had to make a comment about it. "Wow, so you really do put effort into looking ugly," he said, referring to the way you normally dressed in the office.
You glared at him, but he shrugged in response.
"You look nicer today, hon. Take it as a compliment."
He wasn't very talkative during the ride though. Levi was still suspicious of you, and he glanced at you every now and then while you played games on your phone. When you both reached the school, he parked in the parking lot, and you two signed in at the front office. An older student led you to the 2nd grade classrooms where a young boy and girl jumped from the desks to gree
Levi x Reader: Bitch please, it's fabulous 3Well, Levi was fancy as shit since he decided to confess to you at a lovely pink and frilly cafe that you had mentioned in a text earlier. You both were seated across from each other in two pink seats, Levi with his milk tea and you with your strawberry and cream frappuccino.
'So fitting...,' you thought as you sipped the sweet sugary liquid through your straw.
"How have you been, __[fake name]__?" Levi asked gently as he placed his tea down on the table.
"Umm...well, I've been....," you couldn't finish the sentence. You hadn't been fine at all. You barely even got sleep the night before thinking of an excuse to try and end things with Levi without revealing your true identity. Damnit, why did you even try to break his heart if you didn't even have the balls to go through with it?!?
'I hate being a nice person....' you groaned inwardly. Well, you hadn't been entirely nice with your initial intentions to hurt Levi, but it was hard to be cruel to someone that loved you, a lot.
But just a
Levi x Reader: Returning to the Corps"Ughhh."
You turned in your bed as you woke up from a long dream, pushing the sheets off your body to force yourself to get up sooner or else face the wrath of the winter weather. You rubbed your stiff shoulder as you pushed yourself off the small bed, feet touching the chilly floor as you brought your arms closer to your body.
You blew out the air that you had been holding behind clenched teeth, changing your clothes and then heading downstairs to open your cafe shop. You waited behind the counter, wondering how long it had been since you had dreamt at all.
It didn't bother you to try and remember what the dream was. Instead, you were wondering why you had dreamt today. Was there something you were missing?
As you looked around the store, your eyes finally fell on a small picture resting on the far side of counter. It was the picture of your late fiance, former commander of the survey corps. You barely remembered those days and rarely ever recalled any friend's names. Who was that gir

"Hey, _______, why do you hate titans so much?"
Your friend stared at you solemnly, wondering what could have made you so unforgiving, so bitter, so vengeful.
"....it's because they always take the people I love away from me. They took my father first, not only his life but the love he felt for me and my mother. He threw it all away for them.....And then....they took my mother away forever, not bothering to spare a single drop of her blood. There was nothing left to salvage, not even a piece of her dress....."
You stared at the rusty locket in your hand, not daring to open it. That was all you had to remember of your mother and father, and that was all you needed....the reason for your hatred for titans and the reason that you decided to give up on useless feelings of love and care that were better replaced with scorn and contempt for the world. This cruel world....

You, on the other hand, had your face propped up with your palm as you rested your elbow on the desk. You continued staring out the window at Levi, wondering what would it take to get to speak with him normally. Just once! Just. One. Time.

As you promised him a year ago, you stayed away from Levi, which bothered him to no end. He slept in his chambers night to night without your warmth. He came to a scary realization that more than missing the sex that he had with you, he found himself missing you more. The moments you spent with him after tiring each other out were spent speaking of the past, the present, and the near future. You both had your fair share of stories in bed before the morning came which signaled your departure.
He missed that.

Erwin cast a short glance between the three of you and his eyes briefly landed on yours before scanning over the remaining cadets. After welcoming the new incoming cadets, you took that as your immediately cue to leave. You had questions for Levi, a lot of damn questions.

Even though this was only a practice evaluation, this was a chance to exhibit your newly-honed skills and prove to everyone that you were a soldier worth keeping.
'Okay. This is it honey,' you told yourself. 'All that two and half weeks of hard work boils down to now.' Rounding the corner, you joined the crowd, the cadets milling around nervously.

Levi's temper did not help the situation as he stormed towards you and ripped you out of Erwin's embrace and you stumbled into his. Your confusion instantaneously turned to anger when you flung yourself away from Levi and glared angrily at the stout man.
"What the bloody fuck do you think you're doing?" You retorted, pointing an accusing finger at Levi as he glared incredulously at you,
"Are you that much of a whore that you're going to resort to sleeping the commander of the Scouting Legion?" He scoffed at the idea, but you took this as no laughing matter as your eyes narrowed at the midget.
Before Levi could open his mouth anymore, in the blink of an eye you had him pinned to the ground with your fingers grasped tightly around his throat. His eyes blinked in confusion
Modern AU: Unconditional Love (Levi x Reader) RQ
Levi's POV
The life of an idol sucks. Many might think that I'm living a fancy life but in reality it really sucks. I'm always busy and have no time for myself. Schedules are always full and every time I'm finished with an appointment, there goes another one. It's like a non-stop cycle. The only time I can rest is when I sleep or eat.
"Aughh, finally I could lie down." I let myself fall onto my comfy couch and take some time to rest after a tiring event. I stretch my body and move into a more suitable position. Sigh, it's always like this every day. It makes me want to quit this job and move to a far far away place with no people ever knowing me or "Rivaille" but unfortunately for me I'm still here. Damn myself for not quitting before.
"Levi, you know that you still have an appointment next in the music studious. You better prepare now or you'll be late." Hanji s
Car Farts {Levi x Reader} Modern AUYou, Levi, and your three kids—Eren, Mikasa, and Armin—were all in the car driving home after a long day at a carnival; the time was currently 9:00. You all had a pretty good time, despite the fact that Armin threw up after riding on a roller coaster from eating so much junk. And much to Levi's chagrin, he had to get the poor blond boy a new clean shirt and shoes. But, all in all, it was a fun day.
Everyone was quiet and content; you gazed through the window's clear glass with a smile—the moon was bright and full and stars speckled the clear, dark sky. The moment seemed perfect until—

Mercy Corps misses out on text giving
|| Print |
|Articles - March 2010
|Thursday, February 25, 2010
The 7.0 earthquake that laid waste to Port-Au-Prince was unique in its devastation. It was also the first major disaster to take place in the mobile age, as aid organizations for the first time accepted donations for a mass-scale crisis via text message.
Americans who followed news of the quake closely were repeatedly told to text "HAITI" or "QUAKE" to various aid organizations, which would seamlessly donate $5 or $10 to the relief effort. Of those who donated to Haiti, 14% did so by text message. That's an impressive adoption rate, considering it's the first time anybody had done it. "This is the first major emergency where texting has been a source of revenue for nonprofits at all," says Jeremy Barnicle, marketing VP at Mercy Corps, a Portland-based nonprofit.
Within an hour of the quake, Mercy Corps decided to make Haiti a priority. But among the names of many aid organizations scrolling across cable news tickers next to their text message code words, Mercy Corps was conspicuously absent. The Red Cross has raised about $255 million for Haiti, $32 million of it, 12.5%, by text message. Mercy Corps, which is much smaller, has raised $11.4 million from donors via the web, phone and in-person donations. But nothing by text.
The Red Cross, through a partnership with the U.S. Department of State, was one of the first agencies to accept text donations for aid in Haiti. About two dozen organizations, including Oxfam, CARE and smaller organizations such as Yéle, quickly followed suit. Not all the aid groups in Haiti have enabled text giving, but it's surprising that Mercy Corps hadn't, given that it established itself as a major international player largely because it anticipated the last revolution in charitable fundraising: web-based giving. Mercy Corps outclassed bigger aid groups and quadrupled its revenue with a sophisticated web fundraising campaign after the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004.
Mercy Corps was considering text giving, Barnicle says, but hadn't made a decision at the time of the quake, weighing the pros of reaching new donors against the cons of the small dollar amounts and low engagement level required for text messaging. After two weeks, donations by all means had dramatically dropped off and Mercy Corps still didn't offer text giving. The Haiti quake convinced them that text giving will be a necessary component of fundraising, Barnicle says, but it's not a revolution.
"I don't think texting per se is going to be the kind of quantum leap that web fundraising has been," he says. Barnicle now considers it "a matter of course" for Mercy Corps.
But while it may have missed out on text giving, Mercy Corps hasn't given up on innovative fundraising. A new feature on MercyCorps.org lets users create a personal fundraising website to raise money for Mercy Corps from friends and family. Users write a personal message about the cause and why it's important to them, post photos, set a fundraising target and link to the page from Facebook, Twitter and email. Barnicle says that before the quake fewer than 100 people had signed up. After the quake, it was up to 3,000, bringing in more than $928,000 for the Haiti relief effort.
The personal pages require a sustained effort and high level of engagement, much more Mercy Corps' style.

Kourtney Kardashian on Kim Touring with Baby: How Selfish!by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
When it comes to Kim Kardashian weight critics, Khloe Kardashian has her sister's back... and front.
But when it comes to Kim's plan to take her baby on tour with Kanye West? Kourtney Kardashian can't say the same.
That decision has "seriously irked Kourtney," an insider tells Radar Online. "She thinks it's very selfish of Kim to take the baby on tour with Kanye. Babies need stability, and a schedule, which will be very hard to do when changing time zones and hotel rooms."
And Kourtney should know! She has two children.
Adds this source:
"It's also potentially dangerous to the baby's health because of their developing immune systems. The drama between the sisters is being filmed and documented for the upcoming season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Kourtney just doesn't think Kim grasps the huge change that will happen once the baby is born."
These sisters often fight and will be fine in the end, according to Radar. But will that be true of the young child?!?
Sound off now: Should Kim take her newborn on tour?
The best thing is, kanye to cancell his tour. Nor matter how cormfortable d soon to be parents thinks d tour will be, it's never safe for d baby!
Kourtney is probably worried about those shows they film if Kim goes on tour. Kim will be on tour when they should be filming one of their shows. Kim should have a right to live her life without being held responsible for the rest of them.
Spot on. This is about their money maker leaving. They are trying desperately to replace Kim with Khloe or Kendall and it's not happening. Why do you think the mom went to Paris with Kim?She was making contacts with all of Kim's friends so she can finally get Kendall on the fashion scene. They made sure to portray Khloe as the "best" one in the family whereas she is a money hungry B*TCH(I've watched the show from the beginning-sad but true lol).
The baby isn't born yet and people are already squabbling over it. One step at a time.
Kim exposing her newborn to all those Germs and dirt and filth is her business cuz Kim will be on tour doesn't me the people she will be contact with will tell her that their sick or have a disease. She will have to take care of her baby when it's sick. As for Kourtney how dare she tell Kim anything. What's fair is fair cuz Kourtney doesn't want to hear anything about anyone in her family Ever. Kim I believe needs to get away To Many People Want Control Of Kims Life and she's 32. Kanye should take Kim away
I agree 100% with Kourtney. It's not even fair to infants to take them on long car rides. A baby needs to stay in one place and develope a sleep patter and feel secure. Not uprooted every few days and dragged to loud venues just to be shown off. Kim really needs to get her priorities straight. If she really wanted to have a family with someone, she should have picked someone with a less active social and business life.
Kourtney did it with both her kids so she has no room to talk, At least Kanye has a lot of money(more than Scott) and his baby will have an amazing life.
Yes of course they should take there child with them there job is no different than anyone elses they are rich they can afford good homes it's not like they will be taking the baby from hotel to hotel unless it's a suite but i'm sure she will have help and the baby will have the best care why should they seperate that's the most important bonding time. These people can afford The best they have to keep their child with them if they don't somethings wrong.
It makes me laugh that Kourtney thinks that it's perfectly okay to leave her Children with Nannies all day but when Kim actually wants to care for her child, Oh no! Time to over react. It doesn't seem like the ideal place to keep a child but at least Kim isn't dumping her kid with a stranger for hours on end like Kourtney does.
oh my! didnt know that, but...i do know, kourtney does alot of stuff right when bringing up babies too. & when women wanna have babies they need to stay home & take care of their babies in their homes as much as possible!! the babies have to come first
Think about all the germs the baby will be exposed to on airplanes and being shown off to strangers.
exactly!! & @ least kourt is aware of this
Kourtney has a point. But if I were Kim, I'd also want to be whereever daddy goes. But to be fair....why the hell is Kanye planning tours??? he should be cancelling them or sacrificing his schedule, Im sure his rich enough to cancel one tour!!!! Plus, his an ass for not wanting to. Sorry Kim, but his an ass, make him stay put with you. Both your lives should be changing and not yours alone!
Um whats the big deal,you're acting like she's going on a safari (dangerous) or like her and the baby are going to the concerts and performing! She will be in her hotel with her baby when he is done she can see him every night. Lighten up!
I think Kourtney is the selfish one, the Baby is small and can travel anywhere as long as its healthy, and the family should be together. You know there will be a Nanny or 2, so whats the big deal. If Kayne is touring for months, the baby also needs to know his/her dad. Think that family needs a break from one another, to much drama and as an Adult, one can make their own decisions without family interference 100% of the time. Yes family unity is important, but she has to live her life. Rod below, you are so rude, people like you who call other's names and use such foul language is one of the reasons this world is so screwed up. No respect.

Best pricing on the web for Ferrara Pan Candy jawbreakers!Nov 14, 2014
I suffer a dry mouth and use Jawbreakers to raise moisture in my mouth. I truly love the 4 colors in the assorted flavors but do wish the Black colored one was deleted from the mixture and sold on it on.
Basically I enjoy the low price and free shipping (which is what drew me to the company in he first place).
A sure bet that you will find it's a great buy.
These are great for long car rides and they have a great flavor.Oct 12, 2014
A must have, great price, great flavorSep 24, 2014
Always a hit with my team. We have a candy dish in our secure lab. Staff can't bring cell phones in or connect to the outside world, and no trashcans in there, so these are a favorite in the candy dish because they seem to last forever, and nobody has broke a jaw yet.
What can you really say about these candies. They are the best. Nothing like watching a movie and sucking on a tasty jawbreaker. They are also great giveaways to grandchildren.Aug 6, 2014
I recommend it to anybody that just like candy and don't have to run to to the store everyday.Jan 17, 2014

Per Jon Heyman, the Pirates have exchanged arbitration figures with both Neil Walker and James McDonald [link and link]. According to Heyman, Walker filed at $3.6 million while the Pirates are offering $3 million. McDonald filed at $3.4 million and the Pirates at $2.65 million. Walker is a Super Two player, meaning this is the first of four arbitration eligible seasons. McDonald is in his first eligible season of the normal three that a player receives. One would think the Pirates and Walker will settle things before going to an arbitration case since they are only $600,000 apart in their figures. McDonald and the Pirates are a little further apart, but still have time to figure out an amount. Garrett Jones remains as the only arbitration eligible player to neither agree to terms nor exchange figures. Last year, the Pirates and Jones went to arbitration over a $250,000 difference, with the Pirates winning the case.

Napolitano says new budget may ease border impactApril 4, 2013 @ 5:35 pm
HOUSTON (AP) - Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says a new congressional budget should ease the need to furlough or cut overtime hours for border agents.
Napolitano said Thursday after meeting with Houston law enforcement officials and business leaders the agency still is reviewing the numbers but it appears security will "get back to where we were before sequestration." Later Thursday, she issued a statement saying the number of border agents should be back to normal with the 2014 fiscal budget.
Napolitano was in Houston discussing immigration reform. She also visited the Texas border town of McAllen. On Friday, she heads to Tucson, Ariz.
The National ICE Council, which represents some 7,600 Immigration and Customs Enforcement staff, criticized Napolitano for not discussing reforms with them.
Congress hopes to tackle immigration reform this month.

Button, 30, was seen keeping a firm grip on his girlfriend as they strolled down to the beach in St Tropez, the Sun reported.
The couple had in May decided to split after Button found the commute to her Tokyo home too much of a chore.
But after the two got back together, they appeared closer than ever as they relaxed in the French resort on August 18. (ANI)

Widely respected and instantly recognisable (with his characteristic of nodding gently before raising the dreaded finger), "Slow Death Bucknor" umpired in 128 Test matches, more than anyone else. He broke Dickie Bird's record of 66 in 2002, before in March 2005 becoming the first umpire to stand in 100 Tests. Only David Shepherd and Rudi Koertzen have umpired more than his 181 ODIs, while Bucknor also stood in five successive World Cup finals (1992 to 2007), the middle three with Shepherd.
Bucknor's original conversion to umpiring was due in part to his own playing experience in his native Montego Bay, where repeatedly incorrect decisions prompted him to don the white coat in the cause of fairness. The habit of taking his time has been there from the outset. "I have never been hasty to make decisions," he said. "And, by nature, I like to take my time to do things. Patience is a virtue for me. I don't know how many other umpires believe it's a good way to do it. But I'm happy with the method and hopefully others will also take their time to make important decisions."
Bucknor's rise to international status was rapid. His appointment for the 1992 World Cup final followed just four Tests and a handful of one-day internationals. At six foot three he has a commanding view of proceedings, and he can also draw on his experience of football, where he refereed in a World Cup qualifier. Throughout his career he took nothing for granted and is a man of routine, from his usual early-morning routine - exercises, a verse from the Bible and the morning papers - before arriving at the ground in good time.
His career could well have been extended further as he was not scheduled to retire until 2011, but in his final years a punishing workload began to take its toll and a few high-profile errors tarnished a previously unblemished reputation - not least his role in misinterpreting the rules regarding bad light, which caused the farcical finish to the World Cup final in April 2007 and led to his suspension for the Twenty20 World Championships in September. Things turned progressively worse in the following months, when he was removed by the ICC from officiating in the third Test between Australia and India in Perth after several contentious decisions contributed to India's defeat in the second Test in Sydney in January 2008.
