Dear Dr. Donohue: I read an article that said exercise decreases your immune system. I have gotten sick twice after three weeks of the following schedule: I exercise daily for a minimum of one hour, doing both aerobic exercise and weightlifting. I take vitamins, eat right and feel great. I am a nurse and am exposed to many patients who are sick with colds. I increased my exercise in the past two months, and that is when I have caught the colds. Is this too much exercise or just a coincidence? -- T.D.
Dear T.D.: Regular, moderate exercise enhances the immune system. It provides protection from common communicable diseases such as a cold.

Re: New portlights on Gulf 32
I'm surprised to hear you replaced your sliding pilothouse windows with fixed windows. Among the most wonderful things about the Gulf 32 is the outstanding ventilation these windows provide while cruising anywhere in the summer time. Not to mention how often we use them to dump things overboard by reaching through them from the galley!
We replaced all our old original plastic pilothouse windows with new aluminum windows from Wayne Enterprises in Alabama. Here is the story:
Stories of Aeolus- Our Gulf 32 Pilothouse: Finishing installation of new pilothouse windows
As for older Gulf 32's, that gets a bit murky. They are a Bill Garden design, evidently from the 60's, but I do not know of any commercial production prior to Capital Yachts. Here is a link to a story on the Capital Yachts site:
William Garden
In any case, nice to hear from you and best wishes for you and your Gulf. We leave this weekend on a 75 mile trip up Puget Sound from the Seattle area to the San Juan Islands to return Aeolus to her rightful home there. Absolutely cannot wait for the time on the water and the incredible beauty of the trip.

Mind & Body Classes
Kundalini Gentle Yoga
Kundalini Yoga is a style of yoga that is at least 5,000 years old. B.J.'s gentle and practical teaching style focuses on developing the breath to release stress and rejuvenate the body, as well as moving at the individual's pace and energy level. While releasing stress, flexibility, strength, and stamina are also improved. Kundalini Yoga works to improve the function of many "systems" of the body; the nervous system, immune system, digestive system, circulatory system, and more. A strong meditative component teaches how to focus the mind on what is important, and to let go of the things that are not so important, creating inner strength and steadiness.

Adoption is not for the faint of heart.
You experience great highs and great lows. Your emotions are never settled. You hold back your hope because you know the outcome is not in your control. You don't fully grieve the little losses along the way because you know something amazing is just around the corner.
You operate in some gray area where the divine and dust of earth meet: where God moves and you work, where God is working and you are following.
We do a lot of praying, which on a good day doesn't always give me answers but brings me peace. On bad days? I leave with lots of angst that overshadow any answers I might have got.
My parents raised me right and good. Loved. Responsible. Religious with a touch of defiance. Balanced.
I was 19 and stood on the side porch. Woman to burgeoning woman we stood, Momma and me. Her words were respectful but fierce. My words hurtful, based in false strength. Her ultimatum laid.
The time had come to get my head out of my ass. Till a year ago I had been a good kid. I pushed boundaries but I knew where the lines were, accepted my consequences when I went too far, knew right from wrong, was trustworthy and honest. I still can't tell you exactly why started down the path I did. I was smart. Graduated top of my class. Had learned to speak another language.
I knew better, always knew better. What I was doing was wrong. I was playing with fire and I was gonna get burned. I didn't admit it, but I knew it.
Because my parents raised me right.
Shattered glass catches the sunlight, glints fluorescent green. The color almost makes it seem other-worldly like visitors from another galaxy crashed here and didn't pick up all the evidence they were here.
But I know it's not the remains of an UFO, just shattered glass from an accident. My friend's son to be exact. A young driver but not really his fault. Just one of those hills, one of those places. A car comes up out of a hill a little too fast. A driver doesn't react quick enough. Looks up a little too late. You turn and if you had only been just a little faster there'd be no leftover glass. But thank God you didn't turn a little too slow. There'd be no ….
Well, you know.
And now the glass mocks me. Silently screaming, echoing down the road after I turn: nothing guaranteed.
We want it though, don't we? The guarantee. The secured outcome. Especially when it comes to our children.
And we know, even if we forget and have to be reminded literally in a crash course, that we can't control nature, accidents, and freak things. Our kid could get cancer. We could breath our last before we finish reading this sentence.
So maybe that is why we cling to other things. Like whether they finish high school, get into college, have sex before marriage, do drugs, drive drunk, or tell lies. We work so hard to make sure they turn out the right way and when a child doesn't we look to the parent as the obvious explanation.
But is it?
Are we just deceiving ourselves?
People who never smoked a cigarette, never lived with someone who did, still get lung cancer and die. And people with 40+ year habits live to see their grandchildren give birth.
Maybe the writer of Ecclesiastes is right: life is nothing more than blowing in the wind.
I've spent most of my adult life working with kids. With adults who never got over what happened to them – or didn't happen- as kids. I'm convinced the power of life rests in my words and in my hands. What I choose to say or not say, how I choose to touch or not touch, will leave my child scarred, scary or skilled.
Watch a child grow into a man who beats his wife or who respect there and you can probably trace the reason for that right back to their childhood. Of course, sometimes, it's not what we expect.
The little boy who watched one man after another use his mother to wipe up their unmet needs may be the one who cherishes his wife beyond measure. And grown men who really do know better have made their mothers cry at the way they treat have treated their wives.
Yet science and research back it up. There may not be cause and effect but there is correlation. You control more than you know.
Train up a child and when he is old he will not depart from it. We claim it like it's a contract. Valid in all cases and circumstances. We forget it's a proverb. This makes it an observation of how things seems to go not how they always go. It's not a promise. God is not beholden to it. It's about you and what you do. It's about what your child does.
And doesn't the theology get screwed if we claim it like a guarantee. For us free-willers doesn't it remove my child's free will, remove the need of a Savior and make me God? If I just do the right thing I can make my child be saved, make him turn out okay? For us election-leaners, if God has chosen already then of what affect is your training anyway? Sure obedience but that's about you to God; this makes it determinism and makes you God.
She was 46 that night.
I went to work and she walked across the gravel parking lot from the parsonage to the church. She took her bible and laid it on the altar, opened to that verse. She put the picture frame with me in it on the altar. Then she laid down next to that altar and staked her claim. Like Moses did when he reminded God of his promises to Israel and what it would like to the other nations if he abandoned them now, Momma reminded God of what he had men write down.
She laid there all night. She told God, in no uncertain terms, she'd done her part. She'd done all that she could, imperfect as it was, she had been a good mother and done right by me. By him. Now it was his turn. He had to come through.
He did.
I am the product of her prayer. I am the product of a promise believed. I am an example of a proverb, an observation about life. I have no other explanation for how I am alive, physically and otherwise.
And yet, I've seen too much to believe that it is always true and that the same story will be true for my daughters no matter how well I do. Or that had it not been true it would have been her fault.
So for now, this is my prayer and my hope,
The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions.
I'll let God be God. I'll be the parent.
I'll let Grace confuse me and work itself and me (and my daughters) out.

"Call Me Mister" was based on a long-running Broadway revue with more than a little off-color humor.

Title page present, with credits for screenwriters Lewin and Styler. 129 leaves, with ten pages of retakes bound in at the rear. Several pages have simple holograph notations, mostly noting removed scenes, re-ordered page sequences, etc. Mimeo, with blue revision pages throughout, dated variously between 7/13/50 and 10/13/50. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus with some light corner creasing, bound with three gold brads.

South Dakota introduces law allowing teachers to carry guns
It is now more than four months since 20 children and six adults were gunned down at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. At the time, President Obama declared that enough was enough, and that new gun laws had to be brought in. But all the proposals from the White House for new legislation have come to nothing: every one of them has failed in Congress. Gun culture remains alive and well in the US, especially in the rural heartland, as our correspondent found out.

The answer to the first question is simple: Every Orthodox woman 18 years or older who is a member of a parish of the Antiochian Archdiocese of North America-- regardless of ethnicity and whether or not her parish has an organized chapter—she belongs to Antiochian Woman!
The answer to the second question, while also simple, is a bit more lengthy. Women have a natural capacity to love and nurture. This is what His Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP recognized when he founded the National Organization of Antiochian Women in 1973. Then, to help us in our ministries he established a focus and purpose for our organization as a roadmap to guide us in a spirit of Christian leadership, awareness and commitment, fostering love through charitable acts and creating a sense of fellowship and understanding of our heritage and traditions.
OCA and Antiochian Archdiocese to Launch Web Site Dedicated to the "Feast of Feasts"
The Orthodox Church in America and the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America are teaming up to launch a web site offering articles, photo galleries, and audio files celebrating Holy Pascha, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the "Feast of Feasts."
An Important Statement from the Clergy of the Greater Detroit Area
March 6, 2009
We have heard, to our dismay, that our honored hierarchs, including Metropolitan PHILIP, are upset by a statement, which was recently circulated in the Greater Detroit Area, in support of the decision of the Holy Synod of Antioch, concerning all bishops in the See of Antioch. This letter is to clarify and articulate the true meaning of that statement. We, indeed, have no intention of hurting and/or intimidating any of our hierarchs. We sincerely apologize for any hurt caused unintentionally. As obedient children of the Holy Church, we accept, with humility, this historic decision with much gratitude. We assure our love and respect to all revered hierarchs, and we pray for a smooth transition for our Self-Ruled Antiochian Archdiocese. May the Lord, our God, guide our steps.

Letter from Metropolitan PHILIP Regarding Decision of the Holy Synod
Metropolitan PHILIP writes:
March 4, 2009
Beloved Hierarchs and Clergy, Members of the Board of Trustees of the Archdiocese, Parish Councils and Faithful of this God-Protected Archdiocese:
Greetings and blessings during this Holy Lenten Season!
There have been some questions raised regarding the February 24th decision of the Holy Synod of Antioch which addressed the status of bishops across the entire See of Antioch. The purpose of this letter is to try to answer these questions so that confusion may be avoided.
The first question deals with whether or not I am supportive of the decision of the Holy Synod of Antioch which was taken on February 24, 2009. I am supportive of this decision, for a simple reason. I am convinced that the institutional structure of our Archdiocese here requires it at this time.
Archpastoral Directive + March 3, 2009
Metropolitan PHILIP writes:
To all clergy of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America:
We greet you in the spirit of this Great Lent.
Some of our clergy have inquired about hierarchical commemorations in the divine services. In order to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, we would like to direct your attention to the following:
Decision of the Holy Synod of Antioch Regarding All Bishops
Metropolitan PHILIP writes:
Esteemed Members of the Board of Trustees of the Archdiocese,
Beloved Clergy and Parish Councils and all Faithful of our God-Protected Archdiocese,
Greetings and blessings to all of you in the spirit of this Holy and Great Lent.
Enclosed, please find two copies of the Holy Synod decision regarding all bishops within the Holy See of Antioch. This decision was adopted by the Holy Synod of Antioch which was convened at the Patriarchate in Damascus, February 24th, 2009. The Patriarch and the Holy Synod are the highest authority in our Antiochian Church. You will find enclosed the Arabic text and the English translation which is mine. Since this was a special Synod meeting with only one item on the agenda concerning the bishops, the proposed text of this decision was sent to the members of the Holy Synod, who were not present, for their approval.
Ancient Faith Radio Interviews Metropolitan PHILIP
"...our church is a church of hope. Our Lord said, 'Lo, I will be with you until the end of time.' So as long as He is in the church, our Christ, the Savior is in the church, as long as the Holy Spirit is working in the church – I mean in every baptism, there is a Pentecost. In every wedding, there is a Pentecost. In every Divine Liturgy, there is a Pentecost. So the Holy Spirit is still working in the church....
Let me talk about the Antiochian Archdiocese. In 1966, we had 65 parishes. Today, we have 253 parishes. We almost quadrupled the size of the archdiocese. Why? We've been working."
In this historic interview on Ancient Faith Radio, Metropolitan PHILIP talks candidly about such things as Orthodox unity, music, our witness to the world, his most memorable accomplishments as well as his biggest disappointments. This two part interview was conducted by Fr. Peter Gillquist, Chairman of the Department of Missions and Evangelism in the Antiochian Archdiocese.

IOCC Expands Assistance to Gaza's Families

(Gaza City, Gaza) – International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) will provide 6,000 families in Gaza (about 42,000 people) with food, blankets, and hygiene supplies with a new $750,000 grant from ARD Inc. through funding by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). IOCC is targeting the neediest, including those who have been displaced or are living in war-damaged homes, have experienced the death or injury of a family member, or who have a primary bread winner that is unemployed as a result of the conflict.
The deadliest conflict in Gaza in four decades has killed 1,300, wounded 5,300, and displaced more than 26,000. IOCC's Jerusalem-based staff responded quickly to the crisis, coordinating efforts with local organizations and the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem to deliver fortified biscuits and milk to 23,000 children and adults residing in shelters and affected communities throughout Gaza. IOCC also assisted beleaguered hospitals and shelters by providing thousands of quilts and hygiene kits.
St. Basil Award Earned by Antiochian Seminarian
From St. Vladimir's Seminary:
The Rev. Aaron Warwick, a third-year student at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary (SVS), was one of two recipients of the seminary's St. Basil the Great Award for Academic Achievement, presented to him on the Feast of the Three Hierarchs, January 30, 2009. The award—established in 2003 by an anonymous benefactor who wished to recognize and encourage students who have excelled in their studies at the seminary—was presented by His Beatitude JONAH, primate of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) after the Divine Liturgy in the seminary chapel. Second-year student Dr. Andrew Cuneo, of the OCA, also received the award.
Fr. Aaron has been a member of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America (AOCANA) since his chrismation on April 16, 2001, at St. Mary Church in Omaha, NE. He and his wife, Gwen, were married in that same parish on June 2, 2001. Fr. Aaron served on the parish council for three years, holding the offices of treasurer and parish council chairman; and he and his wife also served as Teen SOYO advisors during that time. The couple has three children, Emmelia (4) and Adrian (2), and another boy due at the end of May.
The Past and Future of Liturgical Theology: Celebrating the Legacy of Father Alexander Schmemann
Ancient Faith Radio (AFR), in partnership with St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary (SVS), is offering podcasts of the lectures from the international academic symposium titled "The Past and Future of Liturgical Theology: Celebrating the Legacy of Father Alexander Schmemann," held on the seminary campus January 30–31, 2009. Fr. Alexander served as the dean of SVS from 1962 until his death in 1983, and his seminal work in the field of liturgical theology is recognized throughout the globe. His Beatitude, the Most Blessed Jonah, primate of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), and a student of Father Schmemann during his years as a seminarian at SVS, attended the symposium and offered the concluding remarks.
Renowned liturgist The Rt. Rev. Archimandrite Robert F. Taft, S.J. presented the keynote titled "The Liturgical Enterprise Twenty-five Years after Alexander Schmemann (1921–1983): The Man and His Heritage"—the centerpiece of the colloquium and this year's Father Alexander Schmemann Annual Memorial Lecture—to a capacity crowd on Friday, January 30, 2009.

My intent was to write something today about Groundhog Day, but my ideas were either a piece on Beaver Cleavage or the fact that John Cena keeps appearing in main event after main event. So instead I thought I share some quick thoughts on National Pro Wrestling Day.
Unfortunately I was unable to catch any of the action today. My friend and colleague in Pro Wrestling Collision, Adam Testa recently lost his home to fire. Many of us spent part the day cleaning and painting his new apartment.
I love the idea behind NPWD. It's something that has been long overdue. In a perfect world, I would have loved to seen representatives from ALL wrestling companies come together and showcase their talent. WWE, TNA, Chikara, Dragon Gate, even smaller indy companies like Pro Wrestling Collision. Of course in the world of pro wrestling, there's too many egos involved to make something like that work. That's really unfortunate as I think once a year it would be epically awesome for something like that to happen. But on the same hand, it's probably good the "big boys" aren't included in the festivities as it's nice to see the up and coming stars do their thing.
I don't know a whole lot about today's action, but I can tell you that Pro Wrestling Collision has released its first match ever. The company taped its first show two weeks ago and crowned a new champion. Check out Matt Cage battling Joey O'Riley in the opening round of the Collision Cup.
If you've been a fan of WWE and/or TNA only, I encourage you to check out other smaller companies. They are the lifeblood of professional wrestling. Congrats and thanks to the organizers of this year's NPWD.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT)
Know the Facts
If you are part of the LGBT communities, you likely have seen tobacco ads in magazines, newspapers, and Web sites directed at you. Tobacco companies are targeting your communities.
Smoking among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals in the United States is much higher than among the total population. About one in four lesbian, gay, or bisexual individuals smokes cigarettes, compared with one in six heterosexual/straight individuals.
Smoking increases your risk for lung cancer, heart disease, chronic bronchitis, and other smoking-related diseases.

Circumventing these technical limitations, Ueli Schibler and colleagues report in the open-access journal PLoS Biology a new method to measure circadian cycles in mammalian cells cultured from tissues other than the suprachiasmatic nucleus. The researchers took skin samples from humans and infected subsequently made tissue cultures with a virus engineered to report with a fluorescent signal when a certain host circadian rhythm gene was expressed. They found that their data jibed with the previously accepted length of the human circadian cycle: 24.5 hours. Because of the sensitivity of their method, Schibler and colleagues also confirmed that, for both humans and mice, circadian rhythms vary substantially between individuals. This suggests that the genetics of the circadian clock likewise varies between individuals.
Unlike an individual's true rhythm, a fibroblast cell culture's rhythm does not vary with changes in light exposure or sleep habits. The researchers point out that their method can expose differences in circadian rhythms; it does not, however, directly measure the signal from the central coordinator of circadian rhythms in the brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
In the future, scientists may use the new method to screen large populations for genetically linked sleep disturbances such as advanced and delayed sleep phase syndromes. They may also use this test to hone in on the genetic mechanism responsible for such conditions. Outsi

Sometimes you can take a dog to the races, but you can't make him (or her) run.
Indeed, having "hims" and "hers" in proximity to each other made for some of the more lighthearted moments at Saturday's National Wiener Dog Nationals, the dachshund races at Fort Wayne's Headwaters Park that have been a highlight of Germanfest for the past 20 years.
Several of the 64 pairs of dogs that ran heats en route to the top prizes were much more interested in each other than in their handlers' treats and toys at the other end of the racing chutes.
A few even sat down on the job, deciding it was beneath their dignity – and for a low-slung dachshund, that's pretty low – to run on command.
When one dog's competition failed to show up, the doxie decided the spectators were much more interesting than racing and wandered over to the fence to greet spectators before deigning to amble down the course. He was named the winner of the heat by default.
But some dogs were competitors from the start. One speedster, named Sheldon, got so excited whenever it was his turn to run, he let out a string of high-pitched yips that made him immediately recognizable to spectators – and caused race announcer Billy Elvis to remark that if he were a betting man, he'd put his money on the mouthy dog.
Another pup, named Mojo, was so pumped when he won one of his heats he snatched away his competitor's dog biscuit reward.
Mojo's first-heat competition, Annie, entered by Paul and Leann Walters of Fort Wayne, looked deceivingly fast. She came dressed in a costume that had a tiny jockey mounted on her back to make her look like a racehorse.
Alas, she was no match for Mojo's, well, mojo.
Nonetheless, Annie's owners were proud of her. She's at least 12 years old, Leann Walters said – and that's 84 in human years.
"This is her third race, and she's never won. But she waddles down and has a good time," she said.
Mojo, entered by Sheila Richey of Fort Wayne, finally faced off with a dog named Sherwood, entered by Chad Schiebel and Amber Vachon of Fort Wayne, for top honors of the first round of 32. The two tied twice, with judges saying the races were too close to call.
But Mojo won the third try, after Schiebel remarked to the crowd that his panting little hot dog "was done."
Still, the loss wasn't hard to take. It was, after all, the 1 1/2 -year-old pup's first race, and Schiebel and Vachon hadn't really done anything special to train him.
"But he does loops around the house all the time. He runs around everything, couches, beds. He slides across the floor. We call it the Sherwood 500," Vachon said.
The couple theorized that the dog might be overcompensating in trying to keep up with the other dog in the household, a Great Dane named Rockne.
"As in Knute," the legendary University of Notre Dame football coach, Schiebel said.
Nikki Jasperson, promotions director for Federated Media who helps coordinate the event, said it remains popular. This year's field filled up about a month ago, Jasperson said.
Dogs from around the region and several states come to compete for top dog, which this year went to Lily Kate, entered by Ohio resident Christine Moser.
Mojo was second, as he was last year, Sherwood took third and Reesie, entered by Lauri Fritz of Fort Wayne, took fourth.
"We have perfect weather and attendance is wonderful," Jasperson said at the midway point of the races. "What more could you ask?"

Constantine Maroulis — The Bold and the Beautiful — 5/22/07
Con Con Girls are HOT! When is Phoebe going to change her clothes?
Video clip:
Got Something to Add?
*nervously confesses* um...*gulp* I used to think he was hhhh...*tries again* hhhh...hot.
What we were thinking is what I'm still thinking! I never loved him because he was perfect. I seem to remember that we all loved him for his unabashed dorkiness, no?
Now that Ridge has confessed and is in jail, AND Phoebe's broken up with Rick, she'll go running to Con for more sage advice and a silken shoulder to cry on. I'll love, she'll cry...cuz you know, everybody loves, everybody cries. Na na na na na na na na na.......
omg. Rickey, you deserve a medal for bringing us this delicious delicious stuff. I just eat it with a spoon and then I puke from how bad he is.
What WERE we thinking?! I still have no idea.
"Then you've got nothing to worry about ... love." Oh for the love of Con! What was with the twinge of British-esque accent on the word "love"?
I listened to the interview again and I guess she only has one baby in her belly, but she is a flirt.I guess the ladies still like Constantine.
Maybe Constantine just sweats from all the bright lights on the set or he just puts some kind of gel in his hair. I think he looks better without all the facial hair because he looks more mature any way so he doesn't need to have that unshaven look. I know West would say she loves the 5 oclock shadow look and maybe even a full beardon Constantine. LOL
You guys probably already saw this but I thought it was a cute interview. I think the blonde pregnant with twins host was flirting with Constantine.
I wonder if Phoebe's boyfriend will catch Constantine and Phoebe in the act.
Jamied, I don't know how to boot scoot. I mean, I don't even know what the hell it is. So, hmmmm, maybe I do it already and just don't know that that's what it's called! Whatever the case may be, I'd love to do it with you and Ds. Sign me UP!
member back when these threads were 400 comments long? Ahhh the good ol days...
...or when he starts applying cuccumber to his little rat eyes at night...surgery is the only answer for that snas.
...BUT IT'S CONSTANTINE ON T.V.!!!! This is the 5th greatest gift I could ever ask for! Dave Gahan, Dave Navarro, Marty Casey, and Jared Leto being on T.V. would probably top this.
(What about the 5th gift, you ask? Jodi and Ds comming to Texas for a little boot scootin at Billy Bob's in Cowtown would be my number one gift. I bet Ds can do-si-do like NOBODY'S BUSINESS!!!)
Maybe Phoebe will change her clothes when Con washes his hair.
OMG...I...I'm speechless! This is TOO MUCH!!!
Lord, help me.
and concerned, amber, and concerned.
con as the voice of phoebe's conscience!
ooooohhhh he's sooooo insightful and supportive and probing....
AHHHHHHHHHH "love"
Oh, Rickey, amen. Enough already with the wardrobe stagnation.
"Hey... hheyyyy, it's not about how long you've known someone, it's about how much you wanna throw them up against a ... aaannnnywayyyy.... tell uncle Connie what's troubling you, LUV."
romance. *sigh*

North Yankton State PatrolTalk0
this wiki
|This article or section contains insufficient information and is considered as a Stub. You can help GTA Wiki by expanding it as much as you can.
North Yankton State Patrol
|Common name:
|North Yankton State Patrol
|Grand Theft Auto V
The North Yankton State Patrol (NYSP) is the police force that appears briefly in Prologue of Grand Theft Auto V. They operate in the state of North Yankton and were named Trooper of the Year in 1951. They are based on the North Dakota Highway Patrol, as North Yankton is based on North Dakota.
They use white Police Roadcruisers and Police Ranchers as first response vehicles. These cars are fitted with snow chains on the tires due to the snowy weather and treacherous driving conditions in that area. It seems that both are the Interceptor and the Sheriff SUV equivalents, respectively. Both were used in the year 2004, during the Prologue, so is unknown if one of them or both are still used (the Roadcruiser was most likely discontinued and the Rancher was left for civilian use).
State Troopers wear black coats over white shirts with black ties, and light brown pants. Their uniform is based on that of the real life NDHP's uniform. Due to the weather, officers are also seen wearing heavy duty winter attire and gear such as jackets.
- The police force is only seen during the Prologue of GTA V.
- Members of the patrol are quite heavily armed. Officers are seen using Carbine Rifles and SMGs in addition to their pistols and pump shotguns.
- Normally during the mission, none of the two selectable characters (Michael/Trevor) can enter/save the NYSP Patrol cars.
- The only possible way for the player to acquire NYSP Police patrol cars is by means of hacking or other ways of game exploiting.
- The Livery of the vehicles and uniforms of the North Yankton State Police are based on those of the North Dakota Highway Patrol.
- The North Yankton State Patrol is the second state police force seen in the HD Universe with the Alderney State Police being first.

Reported the New York Times: The senior American commander in Afghanistan suggested Tuesday that American forces could remain in the country beyond 2014 despite President Obama's pledge to withdraw them by then.

Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., appears confident that Ukraine – with backing from the United States – will stand up to further incursions by Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin "understands one thing. He understands strength. And we have to show strength in return," Donnelly said Tuesday in a conference call with reporters.
Donnelly was part of a bipartisan congressional delegation that visited Ukraine on Sunday in the wake of Russia's takeover of the country's Crimea region.
Donnelly, a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, said the U.S. and its allies can cause "extraordinary financial damage" to Russia if they impose economic sanctions against its energy and finance sectors.
He also said the U.S. and NATO are talking about reviving plans to place a missile base in Poland. And although Ukraine officials have not sought U.S. weapons, they did inquire about obtaining military communications gear, he said.
ITT Exelis and Raytheon produce military communications systems at their Fort Wayne plants.
The Obama administration has so far frozen U.S. assets of certain Russians and banned them from entering the U.S. The Senate is considering legislation this week to send financial aid to Ukraine and order further sanctions against Russia.
Describing Putin as a "thug-ocracy," Donnelly warned that any attempt by Russia to grab more of Ukraine "risks setting off catastrophic events. We stand with our allies in Ukraine that if Russia crosses that line, they'll be getting into a swamp that will be very, very difficult to get out of."
Residents of the capital, Kiev, told Donnelly during his visit there that they "will fight for every square inch of the country," he said.
"Every single person who came up … and they would ask, 'Are you U.S.?' I said, 'Yes, I am,' and they said, 'We will fight,'" Donnelly told reporters. "It was not just one person or another person, it was waves of people coming up and saying that."
Even if Russia's military is far superior to Ukraine's, Donnelly said, "there'd be very, very significant pain inflicted on Russia as well. And Mr. Putin would have to explain to Russian moms and dads why their sons and daughters never came home from Ukraine."
The congressional delegation that visited Ukraine included Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., and Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass. They and Donnelly also made stops in Israel and Afghanistan last week.

Nelson Cruz LF/RF.. BAL 3 Months
Cruz made his one hit count Monday, cracking a home run off of Glen Perkins in the Orioles' loss to the Twins.
Cruz's home run was his 36th of the year�three more than Chris Carter and Jose Abreu in the AL and two better than Giancarlo Stanton in the NL. The veteran's batting average has been slipping for the past few months, but the power and RBI numbers should remain strong through the end of the season.
Nelson Cruz LF/RF.. BAL 3 Months
Cruz blasted his league-leading 33rd home runs of the season Wednesday in a 1-for-5 night against the White Sox.
The slugger also collected his 85th and 86th RBI of the season, good for sixth in the majors. Cruz is hitting only .219 in August, but overall he owns a .258/.326/.516 line.
Nelson Cruz LF/RF.. BAL 5 Months
Nelson Cruz went 3-for-6 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.
Cruz followed up a five-hit day with a three-hit performance, knocking in a run with a single in the seventh inning. With just a few games before the All-Star break, Cruz still leads the AL in a number of offensive categories, including home runs and RBI. The outfielder is hitting .290/.356/.582 on the year.
Nelson Cruz LF/RF.. BAL 5 Months
Nelson Cruz went 5-for-5 with a home run and two RBI as the Orioles took the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox by a score of 7-4.
Cruz nearly had a cycle, but he was thrown out at third base in the top of the eighth inning. He officially had two doubles, a solo homer, and two singles. Cruz also stole a base -- his third of the year. The 34-year-old is batting .286/.353/.581 and he's on pace for 50 home runs and 130 RBI.
Nelson Cruz LF/RF.. BAL 5 Months
Nelson Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.
Cruz added to the Orioles' first-inning lead with a solo shot, keeping pace with Jose Abreu -- who homered earlier in the day -- for the major league home run lead at 26. Cruz is already eight home runs away from setting a new career-high, and he's slashing .280/.348/.573 with 67 RBI on the season.
Nelson Cruz LF/RF.. BAL 5 Months
Nelson Cruz went 1-for-5 with an eighth-inning, game-tying grand slam in Wednesday's 12-inning victory over the White Sox.
The Orioles weren't able to get anything going offensively until Cruz erased a 4-0 deficit with one swing. Cruz blasted a grand slam off of reliever Javy Guerra, which allowed the Orioles to eventually notch a walk-off win. Cruz's excellent season continues, as he has 24 home runs, 64 RBI, and a .293/.360/.590 slash line.
Nelson Cruz LF/RF.. BAL 5 Months
Nelson Cruz clubbed his 23rd home run of the season in Saturday's win over the Yankees.
It was a two-run shot. After going 14 games with a home run, Cruz has now gone deep in two out of the last three games. He's currently tied with Edwin Encarnacion for the major league lead in home runs and ranks second (behind Encarnacion) with 60 RBI.
Nelson Cruz LF/RF.. BAL 5 Months
Nelson Cruz ended a 14-game homer drought with a solo shot Wednesday against the Rays.
Cruz had been stuck on 21 since June 3, but he still has the major league lead anyway. Edwin Encarnacion and Giancarlo Stanton are two behind at 20.
Nelson Cruz LF/RF.. BAL 6 Months
Nelson Cruz went 3-for-3 with an RBI in a loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday.
Cruz had three singles on the day, including an RBI single in the sixth inning. The RBI was Cruz' AL-best 56th of the season as he remains among the league leaders in nearly every offensive category. The three hits raised his season line back up to .306/.375/.611.
Nelson Cruz LF/RF.. BAL 6 Months
Nelson Cruz (hand) is back in the Orioles' starting lineup on Tuesday night versus the Rangers.
Cruz suffered a left hand contusion Sunday when he was truck by a Scott Feldman pitch. X-rays were taken immediately and came back negative. The veteran slugger has 20 home runs and 52 RBI in 54 games this season.

Summer in the City 7/9/14
by Thee Ted Smith
posted Jul 9 2014 2:06PM
So summer is here and so is the great weather as well. The funny thing is in Seattle I feel like we do a good job of bitching when the weather is not good and then in time we start to bitch about the heat. Let me start by saying I love summer but I am going to do some complaining. When I got home last night around ten my house was hot. I live on the sixth floor of a building in a one bedroom condo. I am not sure if it is from being on the sixth floor or from the fact my place faces west but in the evening and night it is warm in that sucka. Now what do you do when you get home and it is just hot and sticky in your place? I myself go straight to mesh shorts and t-shirt with the sleeves cut off. I basically go home and turn into Larry the Cable guy. One thing that has changed for me in the last year though is this summer I have a portable Air-conditioning unit in my bedroom so it is nice and cool when I sleep. Shout out to STP for the hook up on that air-conditioner. I also like being outside but when it comes to eating outside in the sunlight I am not for that. I don't mind eating outside but eating in the sunlight is just not fun in my book. I will have some drinks with you sure but if you to grab some food lets go inside honey. Now he is the deal though with all that bitching I just did I still love summer in Seattle and hope it last for months. Get out there and enjoy life

"Mistresses" recap (1.07): Dancing Shoes
The next morning at April's, Joss is feeding her daughter cookies and coffee because that's what good Aunties do. April tries once more to have a heart-to-heart about what's going on between her and Savi, and Joss admits to being really hurt that she was the last to know about everything. She tells her that she doesn't want to keep her in the middle of things, so she's going to stay with Alex for a little while. April wonders if that's such a good idea, but Joss assures her that they're just friends. But there's no way that's staying platonic for long if she keeps running around in those shorts.
Joss heads off to work, and April calls Hot Dad to tell her she's on board. She's ready to move on and she wants to do it with him. April shuffles her daughter out the door and smiles contentedly at how wonderful her life is in that very moment. Sadly, a moment is all she has, because when she hears a knock and opens her front door, there, once again, stands her supposedly dead husband, but this time he says "Hello."
What did you think of "All In"? Are you excited to see what happens once Joss and Alex are under the same roof?
Here are some of our favorite #HomoWrecker tweets from this week. I hope someday to be as funny as you guys:

My Santa was so generous! And got me so many things that really fit me and what I like! I got 5 gifts in 4 shipments and each one alone would have been an exciting present, but together I certainly had enough squeals from this grouping.
Oh the things:
Thank you so much, katzpe! I really appreciate your generosity and the cookie was SO. GOOD. I'm so ready to find some pork belly and make me some bacon. 5lbs of bacon. And the only person that I have around me to feed is by boyfriend. You may find us in bacon comas within the next month. At least it would be a delicious way to go. :D
Yay! I'm so glad you liked everything :D I use my Silpoura a lot so I hope you find it handy, and I hope you end up with some incredibly delicious bacon!

Cigarette case
A cigarette case is a sturdy, most commonly metal container to store small numbers of cigarettes safely from crushing. In modern times they are also made of plastic. Like a cigar humidor a cigarette box is a larger, desktop or "coffee-table" item. Made of wood, metal, glass or ceramic a cigarette box holds a larger number of cigarettes for use by the homeowner and guests.
In its simpler form (sometimes called cigarette tin) it is an approximately cigarette-length flat metal box opening flatwise symmetrically on hinges into two halves, each storing one row of cigarettes, often held in place by a spring or an elastic strap. Typical cigarette tins in the United States of the 1920s–1930s stored 50 cigarettes, hence their name "flat fifties" at the time.[1]
Some cigarette cases come with additional features, such as a built-in lighter. Other typical versions are sturdy cases to store standard cigarette packs. However there are quite a few patents for advanced cigarette cases, [2][3] including a cigarette case with mobile phone.[4]
Within smoking culture, cigarette cases may be fashionable accessories. As such, they may be made of precious metals, adorned with artistic engravings, monograms[5] and jewels. Peter Carl Fabergé, while most famous for his Fabergé eggs, also manufactured exquisite cases of gold and gems for the family of the Tsar,[6] some of which, (e.g. those owned by Danielle Steel) are reportedly worth up to $25,000 and appreciating.[7] At the opening of each of his new Broadway productions, Cole Porter's wife, Linda, presented him with a cigarette case from Cartier. Each was more beautiful than the last, in gold, silver or leather, many studded with gems and generally styled to relate to that show's theme. Cigarette cases are also collectible items.[6]
The commonly known so-called "silver cigarette cases" are most often chrome-plated, although there are silver-plated or polished aluminum,[8] in addition to genuine sterling ones.
Cigarette cases used to be popular with soldiers, and many World War I and World War II veterans (e.g., James Doohan) stated that cigarette cases saved their lives by stopping bullets.[8]
In 2003 the European Union witnessed a surge of cigarette case sales, attributable to the introduction of prominent black-bordered warning labels on cigarette packs, e.g., "Smokers Die Younger", etc., by an EU directive in January 2003. Cigarette cases were a way to avoid the invasive labels (another way being various satirical stickers, such as "You could be hit by a bus tomorrow").[8]
The United States Census Bureau, for the purposes of industry statistics, includes manufacturing or adorning of cigarette cases into the category NAICS 339914 "Costume jewelry and novelty manufacturing".[9]
Due to their compactness, conveniently fitting in a pocket, cigarette cases are often used to store or conceal small items.
In popular culture[edit]
- In some of the James Bond films, Bond is issued gadgets which are concealed in cigarette cases.
- In the film Black Swan, Lily uses a cigarette case.
- In the film Constantine, John Constantine uses a cigarette case.
- Francisco Scaramanga, the antagonist in the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun, assembles his signature weapon the Golden Gun from a cigarette lighter, a pen and a cigarette case.
- The Team Fortress 2 spy class is equipped with a disguise kit hidden inside his cigarette case, which he can use to disguise himself as an enemy.
- In Boardwalk Empire the main character Nucky Thompson can often be seen with a cigarette case.
- In Chinatown, the protagonist, J.J. Gittes, carries around a cigarette case.
- In the film Titanic, the valet, Mr. Lovejoy, uses a cigarette case.
- In Community (TV series) the character Troy Barnes can be seen storing candy cigarettes in a cigarette case.
- In the Hindi film Don, Jasjit, one of the main protagonists, is implicated in an armoured van robbery after he drops his ornate custom cigarette case in the van.
- In the television series House of Cards, the Underwoods use a cigarette case.

JERUSALEM – Scarlett Johansson has parted ways with the international charity Oxfam because of a dispute over her work for Soda-Stream, a company operating in a West Bank settlement that features the Hollywood star in an ad that will air during the Super Bowl.
Johansson became the latest casualty of a widening campaign to boycott the settlements, drawing attention to a larger debate about whether Israel will become an international pariah, at a steep economic price, if it fails to reach a peace deal with the Palestinians.
Johansson, 29, riled Oxfam International, a humanitarian aid organization for which she had served as global ambassador for eight years, helping raise donations for victims of natural disasters in Indonesia and the Philippines, among other causes.
On Wednesday, Johansson said in a statement that she was stepping down from that role, citing a fundamental difference of opinion with Oxfam.

Wonder why Kara Lawson has been having such a great season? She's had to play the bench for too long:
UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- It is a measure of how long Kara Lawson waited for this that not only has she outlasted all but one other player selected in the first round of the 2003 draft, she outlasted four franchises that picked that day.
A decade after she entered the league, Lawson is still redefining her place in it. After too many seasons spent shoehorned into uncomfortable labels like combo guard, energy player or super sub, she is simply a point guard. Proof perhaps that good things come to those who wait, but inarguably evidence as to why good things are happening for the Connecticut Sun as they prepare to host Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
She is still a role player. It's just a leading role. And even on a team with the league's new MVP, Tina Charles, it might be the most important role in the days ahead.
"When you've waited nine years for something, when you get one chance it's probably going to be your only chance," Lawson said. "If you don't hit it out of the park, you're probably not going to get another one. I knew I had to play well this year, so that's what I prepared for. Nine months, the hardest training I've ever done this offseason. I came into this year really confident and felt like I could make a huge impact for the team."
Lauren Jackson and other Storm players may have to have surgery now that their season is over.
