Prolific production designer and art director Hardwicke made her directorial debut with the drama that depicts a contemporary mother-daughter relationship. Los Angeles teenager and overachiever Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood) is an excellent student in her seventh grade class and gets along well with her mother, Melanie (Holly Hunter). She fears that she's not cool enough to be friends with Evie (Nikki Reed), the most popular girl in school. Fueled with genuine adolescent energy, Tracy follows Evie's lead into the harsh realities of sex, drugs, and hard-edged adventure. Consumed with temptations and conflicting desires, Tracy loses her good-girl identity, greatly affecting her relationship with her mom. Partly autobiographical, "Thirteen" was co-written by Hardwicke and Reed when Reed, a close family friend, was 13-years-old. Originally intending to write a teen comedy, they ended up creating a hard-hitting drama exposing the contemporary teenage experience. The film is very much a zeitgeist for modern feminine culture, pointing out the flaws in today's society that encourage the premature sexualizing of girls.
"Thirteen" was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, with Hardwicke taking home the Director's Award. The film earned a best actress Oscar nomination for Hunter. It is described as "a wonderful testimony to getting women's voices out in culture and showing the power of a woman's point of view."

Our 4th of July weekend was a little bit out of the ordinary for me. Our grandson, Joey, had a three baseball game tournament on Saturday, so the family barbeque was rescheduled for today, Sunday. The lakeside park where he played was full of families watching the many baseball games. In another part of the park, there was a carnival with music floating through the air and the sounds of kids laughing and shrieking with delight. Food and drinks were shared among the families gathered on the grass to watch our team. It was fun being there and it was a nice breezy day. Afterwards we came to our house (we live the closest to the park) and ordered pizzas since this was not pre-planned. Joey had a couple of friends with him and they were quite impressed that a famous football player lived across the street from his grandma. So, off they trudged with paper and pen in hand to get autographs. I wish I had filmed it. They were striding along confidently. That is until they got to his door and then the pushing started, each kid encouraging another to be the one to knock on the door. They came back too shy to finish their task. I said to them that they had two choices. They could tell their friends that they went to get an autograph, but chickened out. Or they could tell their friends that they knocked on HIS door. They discussed it and then back they marched. Unfortunately he did not answer his door even though the kids could see there were people inside. They were both relieved and disappointed. It was pretty cute and the evening sitting out around a patio table laughing and talking made me quite happy.
Is there anything sweeter than the head of an almost two year old?
The official 4th of July barbeque took place at my son's house. He has a big backyard full of things for the kids to do. Weather was perfect, the kids were happy and the food was traditional and yummy.
Here is the annual photo of the kids in their red, white and blue.
Here is a photo of the moms trying to get the little ones to smile.
It was such a beautiful early evening we decided to forego the highways. Our ride home took us through backroads and old towns and farmlands. The normal 40 minute drive took us almost two hours, but it was so wonderful to drive along with the windows rolled down and the fresh air in our faces. I even had my camera with me so I could share this wonderful old tumbledown barn with perfect patina.
Is it a sign of recession or the natural progression of things?
And what about this mailbox? Is the owner just thrifty or down on his luck?

PEW-CENTAM Apr-25-2012 (420 words) With PEW-MEXICO. xxxi
Despite risks, Central Americans keep heading north
By David Agren
Catholic News Service
MEXICO CITY (CNS) -- A recent Pew Hispanic Center Report found a leveling in the number of Mexicans arriving in the United States and those heading back to Mexico, but omitted another group: Central Americans, who are heading north in ever larger numbers, despite dangers along the route.
"During this season the flow of Central American migrants out of Central America has increased in an exaggerated way," said Scalabrini Sister Leticia Gutierrez, director of the Mexican bishops' human mobility ministry.
The trend reflects difficulties in Central America, where poverty and violence have led to an outflow of migrants who, Sister Leticia said, would rather run the risk of being kidnapped, robbed or raped along the road than starve back home. Additional challenges include crossing an increasingly fortified Mexico-U.S. border and anti-immigrant attitudes in the United States.
The migrants "aren't scared anymore," she said, referring to the chill after an August 2010 massacre of 72 undocumented Central and South Americans by Los Zetas, the soldiers-turned-cartel toughs. Los Zetas and other criminal groups kidnap migrants for ransom and recruitment reasons, often with the collusion of crooked public officials, Mexico's National Human Rights Commission has reported.
Central Americans -- especially Hondurans -- know the risks, but head north, anyway.
"An indication of what's happening in the country is that 40,000 people were deported (back here) from various countries," said Ileana Morales, researcher with the Tegucigalpa-based Honduras Social Forum on Foreign Debt and Development. "It speaks of the flow of people that are trying to leave the country."
Numbers are difficult to come by, but Sister Leticia and others working with migrants say shelters in southern parts of Mexico are receiving double the number of guests as last year, and northbound trains have been carrying 1,500 migrants at a time.
The number of Central American migrants arriving at Belen Inn of the Migrant shelter in Saltillo, some 190 miles from the Texas border at Laredo, has tripled since December, going from 80 guests to more than 240.
The shelter's director, Father Pedro Pantoja, and his staff warn the migrants of the risks of the road. They said an increasing number now take advantage of repatriation programs offered by the National Institute of Migration and various Central American governments.
The St. Juan Diego shelter along the railway lines to the north of Mexico City reports an influx of Central American guests, too. The newspaper El Universal reported April 24 the shelter was receiving 1,400 guests weekly, requiring it to limit stays to just a single night.

Briggs & Stratton Corporation's Murray, Kentucky Facility Produces 70 Millionth Small Gasoline Engine
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs & Stratton Corporation (NYSE:BGG) today announced that it has produced its 70 Millionth small engine at its Murray, Kentucky facility. A committed team of approximately one thousand American workers have achieved this milestone of consistently producing millions of engines each year since the plants opening in 1985 for the outdoor power equipment industry. This great accomplishment is further evidence that Briggs & Stratton, like many companies, is solidly committed to U.S. – based manufacturing.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120529/CG15020LOGO)
The approximately 300,000 square feet at its Murray facility, located at 110 Main Street, is responsible for die casting, machining and the assembly of engines and related components. "It's hard to believe that just this facility alone has produced 70 million small engines," said Rodney Bohannon, Plant Manager. "This is a true testament to the dedication and hard work of our employees and suppliers." Briggs & Stratton's Murray Kentucky facility is one of four small engine plants located in the U.S.
"This is a tremendous milestone and a wonderful day for Briggs & Stratton and the Commonwealth, with more than 70 million engines manufactured in Murray," said Gov. Steve Beshear. "Briggs & Stratton is a global leader in its field and truly a household name, with four out of five homes in the country owning a Briggs & Stratton engine. We are proud Briggs & Stratton calls Kentucky home and look forward to its continued prosperity, innovation and success.""Briggs & Stratton has a longstanding relationship with the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is a top employer in the community. Manufacturing 70 million engines is a significant accomplishment," stated Murray Mayor Bill Wells. "They continue to invest in our community and are a significant part of Murray's economic success and for that we are extremely thankful." Briggs & Stratton previously announced that its newest generation of engines would be produced at the Murray, Kentucky facility. This new engine platform called the E Series™ began production last year. "This milestone couldn't have been achieved without the extreme dedication of our Murray team and the support of the entire community, stated Joseph Wright, Senior Vice President and President of Briggs & Stratton's Engine Products Group. Briggs & Stratton Corporation, headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is the world's largest producer of gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment. Its wholly owned subsidiary Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group LLC is North America's number one marketer of portable generators and pressure washers, and is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of standby generators, along with lawn and garden and turf care through its Simplicity ®, Snapper ®, Snapper Pro ®, Ferris ® and Murray ® brands.

Health & Safety
Stress corrosion cracking in a North Carolina nuclear reactor has forced operator Duke Energy to take the plant offline, officials said.
The company also says it will suspend its application for two proposed new nuclear units at the Shearon Harris plant in Wake County, NC.
The new shutdown is the result of a recent review of ultrasonic tests taken a year ago at the reactor, when the plant was taken offline for refueling, Duke told the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in a new filing.
No Indications of Leak
The new review revealed "primary water stress corrosion cracking" on a nozzle that overlaps a weld on the reactor head at the plant, 20 miles south of Raleigh.
The plant was originally licensed in 1986, and its current license runs through 2046. Duke Energy has withdrawn an expansion application submitted in 2008 by its predecessor, Progress Energy.
No radioactive material leaked from the plant, and public health and safety is not in danger, Duke spokeswoman Kim Crawford told reporters.
For now, Duke considers the crack superficial.
"Initial evaluation indicates that the flaw is not through the wall, and there is no evidence of leakage based on inspections performed on the top of the reactor vessel head during the spring 2012 refueling outage," according to information Duke filed with the NRC.
The vessel wall is a protective barrier made of carbon steel that measures about six inches thick.
"There are no indications that there was any leakage," Crawford said. "We made the conservative decision to take the unit offline and make the repair."
Without repairs, a small crack could widen and allow water that keeps the reactor cool to escape, putting the plant at risk of a meltdown and possible release of radiation, reports said.
Out of Commission
Crawford said she couldn't say how long the reactor would be out of commission, but she said the utility had plenty of capacity and would not need to purchase electricity from outside sources to meet demand.
"We're not anticipating any issues," she said. "While our plant is offline, we'll continue to serve our customers."
Repairs will take place in a highly radioactive area and will require the use of robotics, NRC spokesman Roger Hannah told the News Observer.
Shearon Harris provides power to about 550,000 customers, and industry sources said the shutdown could cost Duke about $1 million a day.
The NRC will hold an annual public meeting and question-and-answer session today (May 20) to discuss the NRC review and take questions from the public. The meeting was already scheduled to review the plant's 2012 performance.
Common Problem
Corrosion cracking is common in aging nuclear plants, David Lochbaum of the Union of Concerned Scientists, told the News Observer. The plant was originally licensed in 1986; in 2008, its license was renewed through 2046.
Experts call the cracking a common problem caused by corrosion. But they question why the issue was not spotted a year ago, during an initial review while the plant was offline.
"Impurities in the water can collect in tiny cracks formed in metal by stress," said Lochbaum, a former NRC employee. "These impurities, called corrosion, exacerbate stress factors accelerating the propagation of tiny cracks."
However, critics expressed concern, particularly over the time lag in addressing the problem.
"To have a crack in a reactor vessel head that went undetected for at least a year, that's very troubling," Jim Warren, executive director of utility watchdog NC WARN, told WRAL.com.
"My concern is the industry hasn't solved this particular problem. We've known about this (issue) for well over 10 years," Warren told the news site.
He attributed the delay in repairing the Shearon Harris crack to "some sort of breakdown in procedures."
"What they're going to find when they're able to get in there and look more closely will be of great interest to the public," he said.
The Harris plant was previously operated by Progress Energy, which Duke acquired in July 2012.
FL Cracks...
In February, Duke was forced to mothball a nuclear plant in Crystal River, FL, that Progress Energy closed in the fall of 2009 after finding a crack in the outer layer of the containment building's concrete wall.
While trying to repair the problem in 2011, crews cracked other portions of the wall, and officials said repairing the damage might have cost more than $3 billion, reports said.
Duke Energy decided in February not to reopen the Crystal River Nuclear Plant in Florida, which was closed because of cracks in the fall of 2009.
Duke also announced this month that it was suspending a 2008 application originally submitted by Progress Energy to add two units at Harris. The announcement cited "slower growth" as the reason for its decision, but said the plant "has not been eliminated from our long-term consideration as a site to expand our nuclear fleet."
...And Others
The NRC is confronting infrastructure-related issues at several other nuclear plants.
In 2011, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co. reported "extensive cracking" in an uncoated shield structure at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station near Toledo, OH. Repairs to the 2.5-foot-thick reinforced concrete building will cost millions.
In New Hampshire, discovery of cracking in multiple structures at the Seabrook Station Nuclear Plant led the NRC to issue a general alert to all of its facilities and applicants regarding the risk of the same problem elsewhere.
In Ohio, officials are trying to repair extensive cracking in a shield structure that was never coated. Plant operator FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co. is coating the structure with a waterproofing material.
The problem is known as Alkali-Silica Reaction-induced (ASR) concrete degradation, a slow chemical degradation process that occurs when alkalis—usually from cement—react with certain types of silica in the aggregate when moisture is present.
The reaction produces an alkali-silica gel that can absorb water and expand to cause micro-cracking of the concrete. Excessive expansion of the gel can lead to significant cracking.

R. Franklin James' STICKS AND STONES, is the second novel in the Hollis Morgan Mystery series, in which a San Francisco Bay Area paralegal persists with pursuing her goal to be an attorney after being pardoned as an ex-felon, but while waiting for her scores from the bar exam, her good friend seeks her help in a libel suit, however, before they can work together, her friend is murdered to ensure the story dies with her. Hollis is determined find her killer. Even as she stays one step ahead of the murderer, she is working on another job assignment when she discovers a box of eighty year old letters that tell a tragic story of greed, betrayal and revenge and it is then she realizes that words can cut deeper than any stick or stone.
The Fallen Angels Book Club has only two requirements: the members must love books and have a white collar criminal record. Hollis Morgan fits the bill on both counts. Left holding the bag in an insurance fraud scheme concocted by her now ex-husband, she served her time and now is trying to rebuild her life. All she wants is for the court to pardon her conviction so she can return to law school.
After one of her fellow members is murdered in a scenario straight out of a club selection, Hollis is once again the subject of police scrutiny. Refusing to get stuck with another bad rap, she sets out to investigate her fellow club members. Is one of them really blackmailing the others? As a second member dies in yet another book-inspired murder, Hollis realizes that time is running out. Everything rides on her finding the killer—not just her career aspirations. She must identity the killer before she herself becomes the next victim.
The Fallen Angels Book Club is the first book in an exciting new mystery series featuring amateur sleuth Hollis Morgan.

Playing a video on the prevention of HIV and other STDs for people while they're waiting to be seen in an STD clinic can reduce the likelihood that they'll get such an infection. In a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study of more than 38,600 people, and the rate of STIs was under five percent for those who saw the video, while it was nearly six percent for those who hadn't. Guys seemed most influenced (they are supposed to be very visual learners, aren't they?), and were 13 percent less likely to develop an infection if they'd seen the video. Perhaps this worked because, unlike health class, where you can fall asleep or take the hall pass and wander around, these people were in STD clinics and were probably quite nervous about being tested and whatnot. Plus, the magazines in waiting rooms are generally crap and 16 months old. [Ivanhoe] Keep reading »

Our passion and founding spirit is rooted in love of the word, good reading, exploratory talk, finding out about things, making connections, and the notion that life is for learning, and, where possible, pleasure.
This is a festival that brings people together in Swindon to enjoy things well-thought, well-written, and well-said.
Now that we are twenty-one, we are meant to be properly grown up. This means that we can not only have fun but also be serious and idealistic about things that matter in our everyday lives.
We intend to do just that, with adventurous authors, terrific talks, delightful discussion, wonderful workshops, and excellent entertainment.
If you like the idea of Literature celebrated this way, please read on. We want this celebration of good writing and clear thinking to connect with the texture of life as we know it, today, yesterday, and in days to come, with all its challenges, difficulties, and delights.
This is the way it is at the Swindon Festival of Literature. Writers meet readers and readers meet writers. We talk, we listen, we think, we drink a little, and also like to laugh. As a result, enjoyable, interesting, challenging, unpredictable, funny, and even memorable things happen.
In its attempt to lure you along, this year's Festival includes novelists, poets, philosophers, storytellers, historians, columnists, adventurers, broadcasters, artists, and activists.
For the full at-a-glance Festival diary, turn to the centre pages of this programme.
And then, mark your own diary, so that from 5th to 17th May you know where to be, if you want to be meeting, greeting, and listening to writers, thinkers, entertainers, and fellow Festival followers.
Please read on, and come along.
Matt Holland
Festival Director/Organiser
On 20th October 2014, DOMINIC WINTER died peacefully at his home.
Dominic was key in the founding of the first Swindon Festival of Literature in 1994. It was his idea and his wish that there be 'something bookish' in Swindon.
His company, Dominic Winter Book Auctions has supported the Festival throughout its twenty-one years.
Dominic was a fan of the Festival, a loyal supporter, and key member of our Steering Group.
He was a good friend and is sorely missed.
Note. Dominic's funeral service is private, for family only, but a memorial service is planned for early in 2015.
In his memory, donations can be made to Cancer Research UK.

Blade of the Immortal Review
The reformatting and/or update of this review is still in process. Until then, the review (in its old format) can be found at:
Sorry for the delay.
One Response to "Blade of the Immortal Review"
I think your review was ok but it left some important things out. So It suprises me slightly that no one reviewing "Blade of the immortal" brings them up. Like, who is really the head-character of this series, what is really the conflict? And it has lots of Political and socialistic statements in it, though it seems hard for us non-japanese to catch thoose connotations since it is not our history it is refering to. Take the "Anotsu kagehisa" Character and his itto ryu – it is a real historic figure and that school still exists within Kendo and general japansese budo.
ah, well well….

As necessary as risk is in starting up, it's possible to get too close to the line. Though his business is thriving, Wielgus still remembers the nights he spent awake staring at the bedroom ceiling, with visions of Chapter 11 dancing in his head. Likewise, Boettcher brought in investors early on and soon regretted the risk of including others in the business; he wrestled himself out of the situation, but it took more energy and money than he'd anticipated. Every entrepreneur has an individual limit, and it's important to know just where that is, whether in the personal or professional realm.
Laura Rembisz, 32, has a thriving IT contracting and placement business, RemTech Business Solutions Inc., in Farmington, Missouri. She took many risks starting up, including walking away from a good sales job, but there are still some risks she has trouble taking. "Since I started, there have been a lot of times when I wanted to grow and really expand, but I've held back because of fear of going too fast and making mistakes along the way," she says. "I hear so many stories about companies that might have grown too fast, so I've had to reel in my energy and make sure we're doing one thing at a time. Part of me wants the company to grow rapidly, but everything I've done I did in an educated way with the numbers in place, and that's the way I want to keep doing it."
Richard Chang, author of The Passion Plan: A Step-by-Step Guide to Discovering, Developing, and Living Your Passion (Jossey-Bass Pfeiffer, $25, www.thepassionplan.com), says there are other risks that entrepreneurs should avoid, such as going into business without a series of contingency plans and partnering with less-than-supportive compatriots. "One risk you should not take is to surround yourself with people who can hurt the business venture you're creating," says Chang. "Your drive can get depleted, and it can be very draining if you're around the wrong people. As you're growing a start-up, if you get people not tied in to that vision, you run the risk of having people sidetrack you. That includes hiring; if you're hiring the wrong kind of people who don't understand the track you're on, then the risk is that the people you're investing in are going to drain you."
Chang says that risk is personally defined, just like its limits. "A lot has to do with what your perspective is toward your venture," he says. "Risk is always there, but if you spend most of your time focusing on that, you might drive yourself into self-doubt or procrastination-you can be overcautious or lock yourself into not wanting to move forward. I don't think in terms of failure or risk-I try to think in terms of the happiness and success that can arise from risk."
What's Your Type?
Frank Farley, a psychologist at Temple University in Philadelphia, knew that there must be more to personalities than Type A and Type B, so he coined a new type: Type T. "These are the people who take risks because they're exciting-they're thrilling," he says. "All human progress depends on these people. If you see substantial progress being made, you'll see a Type T there. The essence of capitalism is risk. Entrepreneurship demands it." The "T" stands for thrill-seeking, and Farley says entrepreneurs fit the classification to, well, a "T." If you want to see how you stand in the alphabet game, he offers this checklist:
Type T personalities:
- Are motivated by variety, novelty and change.
- Thrive in uncertainty and unpredictability.
- Tend to adore intense experiences.
- Hate too much structure and too many rules.
- Have high energy levels.
- Believe that they control their fate and that destiny is in their hands.
- Tend to show independent judgment and like to make up their own minds.
- Are very curious about how much and what they can do.
- Eat challenges for breakfast.
- Often say they don't take any risks at all, even though others feel they take enormous risks.

I haven't watched the rest of the play, but I know that Pete Sampras is pretty close to a tennis legend, if he isn't one. I'm pretty sure he holds (or ties) the record for the most Grand Slams won. Even though he hasn't won a French Open. ;_; Agassi (my personal favorite) has won at least one of all four. Michael Chang, unfortunately, doesn't really count as a legend. He only won like 1? Grand Slam. He's one of the few Asians though that have won. (Asian pride. ^.^)

We <3 WordCamp
WordCamp PDX is our favorite conference of the year, and we're delighted to be attending this year. WordPress developers, designers, and bloggers convene to share information and learn new tricks. Also, there is usually Whiffies.
This year we left the laptop at home – and while we were not the only iPad users there by a long shot, we still got asked about it a LOT. The answer? Using the iPad at a conference is GREAT. It's light, portable, wifi-enabled and easy to take out and put away (especially using our fabulous iPad clutch). The only thing that could have made it into a must-have conference tool is if we could take photos with it, instead of having to switch back & forth between the iPad and the iPhone. Note to self: get an iPad 2!
Here's a breakdown of some of the sessions:
Evan Solomon from Automattic talked about figuring out what your users really want. A/B testing is a huge benefit. Question assumptions. Test liberally, he says, and don't be afraid to test out crazy ideas to discover new ways of doing things. Even if your tests don't show what you're expecting, if you learn something, it's a success. He gives a great example of the WordPress.com main page sidebar; they assumed they needed to tweak the information below the sign-up button (wording, graphics, etc) – but when they tested a version with nothing at all below the sign-up button, conversion rates increased by 25%. He recommends using something like Optimizely or his yet-unreleased WordPress plugin that will let you do A/B testing from the Dashboard. See the slides from his talk here.
Andrew Nacin (core developer of WordPress) dove right into wp_query. This talk was way over my head, but it was crazy interesting to learn about how WordPress queries data and how to filter results to limit query variables. I won't do it justice, but here are my notes from the session: Every wp_query has methods that mimic the global conditional tags. The global conditional tags apply to wp_query, the main or current query. Conditional tags only work after the data has been parsed; you can use it during get_posts. Make sure you restore to the main query by using wp_reset_query. Most of these functions have been around since 1.5 or 2.0. Core queries are all filterable, which is useful because the API will not always do what you want. His slides are all here.
Next up was a session on SEO by Ira Pasternak, Milen Cole, and Sarah Tetreault. They reminded us that SEO is an ongoing process; you can't just set it up at the beginning and then forget about it. When checking your search engine ranking, be aware of Google personalized results; when you're logged in to any Google account, your search results will be different from other people's, since Google uses your browsing history, bookmarks, friends' recommendations, etc. to tailor your search experience. Try logging out of your Google account to see if your business' search results are the same.
They also talked a bit about search engine algorithms and how a site ends up at the top of search results. Relevance, of course, is key. Relevance is about content but also authority; traditionally this was measured by how many sites link to you and also how highly ranked those linking sites are. If you have a local business, citations are also important. The number of times that people mention your website along with your phone number or address (even if your URL is not used) raises your authority, which raises your rank. Link building is contextual; you'll want links from sites related to your industry. Compare to your competitors to find out who is linking to their sites. Use a tool lie SEOmoz to find that out.
They closed with a reminder: SEO is not passive. You need to actively pursue links in the form of articles, blog posts, newspaper articles, local listings and directories.
Aaron Hockley, WCPDX organizer extraordinaire, talked about the future of personal blogging. Personal blogs are no longer necessarily focused on a single topic; a photographer's blog, for example, might include posts about coffee and bicycling in addition to posts about photography. Aaron has consolidated his blogging to is personal site and his business site rather than dividing his energy between 4 or 5 different single-topic sites. This turned out to be a common trend for many other attendees: to have a single site that functions as a hub for their online identity. People are starting to follow people as opposed to topics. If you want to filter your feeds, you can organize by topic, etc – but is this necessary? Do people want to subscribe to targeted feeds, or do they want to read everything by the author? (We've found the latter to be true in our own experience.)
Feel like you missed out? Come to WordCamp PDX next year (or find a WordCamp in your area). The range of topics is hugely diverse & there's always something new to learn. Keep your eye out for videos of these and all the other WCPDX sessions to hit WordPress.tv sometime soon.
First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts prior to writing. I have had a tough time
clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thanks!

Place a "For Sale" placard on your car to ensure that is visible to a good deal of passersby,
plus inform as much people as you can in your community that you are searching for customers for the car.
In today's arena of accounting software systems, however,
it is best to utilize the accounting program to keep track of sales commission through journal entries created to the general ledger as each item is sold.
On the web site you will find more information related to the offers, specials and
a whole lot more that is in connection with the dealership.

Interior design is one of those things that most men overlook or consider too feminine to bother getting involved with. But sprucing up the space where you eat, sleep and live can have a positive effect on your mood and leave a better impression on any guests you may bring home. A little bit of interior design can go a long way in terms of making your guests feel comfortable and boost your appearance as a clean, modern, man and lose the boring or immature impression given off by unpainted walls or disorderly furniture layouts.
Particularly, the bedroom seems to be the most design-neglected space in a man's home. It's time to improve the look and feel of the place you rest your eyes, which may sound silly at first given that you don't generally care about visuals when you're asleep. But your bedroom can be transformed from much more than simply a room with a bed into your own personal asylum from the world. Here are a few suggestions to improve the vibe in your bachelor pad's bedroom:
Lighten Up
Here's a bright idea: try mood lighting. Good lighting should illuminate the entire space, but also be flexible. We recommend tossing your tall standing lamps and investing in some lights that can be adjusted for whatever the situation cares for. Whether that means installing a dimmer switch or purchasing lamps with a flexible base that can be redirected when necessary, new lighting can revamp your bedroom style and provide a whole new atmosphere.
Lower Your Bed
Understandably, the bed is the focus point of any bedroom. It should be simple, stylish and inviting, as well as low to the ground. Lose that bulky frame and box spring and the entire room will open up and create the feeling of more space. All you need is a knee-high platform frame and a comfortable mattress. A lower bed will pull alter your entire perspective of your bedroom, and it will seem more modern and spacious.
Get A Night Stand
A nightstand is probably the single greatest thing to happen to the bedroom in recorded history. Choose a nightstand that fits nicely beside your bed and can hold your essentials overnight; it acts as a place to set your phone to charge while you sleep, holds that sweet new lamp you purchased, and maybe a book that you're currently reading. As for the rest of the random stuff you need direct access to from your bed, make sure your nightstand has a few spacious drawers to hide the rest of your knickknacks.
Re-Colour Your World
Nothing washes out a room quite like old, bland, off-white pain. Choose a fresh coat of paint that will keep your room relaxing yet will make a bold statement, perhaps a dark shade of blue. Don't be afraid to let your personal style come through in the colour your choose, but make sure the bright colour you want doesn't clash with your comforter. Aim for something classic so you won't get sick of it after a month. It'll take a bit of effort to paint the room yourself, but the results are definitely worth it.

As it pertains to his religious beliefs, Tim Tebow generally doesn't care what you think. He wants you to follow, and he really appreciates it if you believe in his teachings while helping him in his quest to build a hospital on every street corner around this Earth. But if you don't? Meh. Tebow is doing Tebow, and he believes what he believes.
That's often the path of the true believer. Critics will inevitably arise, but they are respectfully ignored. I'll duck before typing this, but it's admirable that Tebow has mostly done that throughout his time in the spotlight dating back to his Gator days. He's a believer, and while those who disagree with him are acknowledged, nothing sways his view.
That changed today, because it seems that when the public calls him so very many names for siding with a homophobic crazy man, Tebow will finally relent.
Late last week we learned that Tebow had agreed to speak at the First Baptist Church of Dallas on April 28. If that's the only information you were given, you would have payed little attention to this news-ish item, and continued on with life. Tebow has had similar speaking appearances, and they all generate the same polarizing support and angst. Whatever, right? No.
This church is run by a lunatic. His name is Robert Jeffress, and his list of opinions is, um, creative?
- He's claimed that Islam promotes pedophilia.
- He's homophobic and has said that AIDs is a gay disease, and therefore there's reason to "exclude gays from the military".
- He's reduced multiple religions to cult status, most notably Mormonism when he said that Mitt Romney is indeed a cult member (Romney is Mormon).
And that's just the beginning, which made Tebow's decision to align himself with Jeffress either uneducated, unintelligent, or both. Tebow will always divide us as long as he's a remotely relevant public figure. But it's been assumed that he's simply a deeply religious person, which doesn't make him unique. There are so very many who believe just as deeply as Tebow, but don't have his pedestal.
But by standing alongside Jeffress, suddenly Tebow would have been more than that. He would have transformed into a radical lunatic, which made the decision to speak at the First Baptist Church an odd one for someone who's highly protective of his image.
It would have been a massive mistake, which is why this happened today…

WEST WARWICK — They didn't want to sound cocky, but the Coventry Babe Ruth 13-year-old all-stars entered last week's state tournament at McCarthy Field believing they were the team to beat.
After tough wins over Cranston and Warwick PAL, it seemed Coventry would have some competition for the state title.
That's when Coventry took its game to another level. After smothering North Providence/Smithfield in the winners' bracket final, Coventry delivered its finest performance in the tournament in Saturday's state final against a solid Cranston squad.
Starting pitcher Manny Bjorklund worked out of a first-inning jam and threw a five-inning shutout, while he delivered three RBIs and Jarrad Grossguth delivered two RBIs and scored two runs in an 11-0 five-inning victory to clinch the program's second state title in as many years.
"I was relaxed from the beginning, but knowing I had the defense that was going to step up and play behind me, I calmed down and was fine for the rest of the game," Bjorklund said after being named the tournament's most valuable player.
"We thought we were going to be the team to beat," Coventry coach Mark Barter said. "Not in a cocky way, I just knew these kids could play and a lot of these kids had won championships at the 11 and 12-year-old levels. They were prepared for this. They knew they could put on a good show and play good baseball."
"I knew we were going to have a dominant team," Grossguth said. "We had the same all-star team as last year and we added a few better kids. I knew we were going to be strong."
Saturday's win moves Coventry another step closer to the World Series. The team will depart the state Friday for Manchester, N.H. where Coventry will open up New Englands Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. against the host team at Gill Stadium.
Bjorklund will likely be tabbed by Barter to start the opening game and Saturday he showed why he's been the ace of a state championship team for three straight years.
Cranston had a chance to open the scoring in the first inning when starting pitcher Brett Traficante delivered a two-out single and moved to third on a double down the right-field line by Mike Doire, but Bjorklund forced Tom Napolitano to pop up to catcher Cam Reid to end the inning.
Following the first-inning jam, Bjorklund allowed just one base runner over the final four innings of the game. Bjorklund struck out five batters and didn't walk a Cranston hitter.
"Manny started to settle in there and he just hit my glove every time," Reid said.
Traficante was even better than Bjorklund for the first two innings. Outside of a walk to Grossguth with two outs in the opening inning, the Cranston righty was perfect.
Coventry's potent offense, however, caught up to Traficante in the third inning. Second baseman Colin Sutyla was hit with one out and then lead-off hitter Nick D'Ambra earned Coventry's first hit before Barter reached on an error to load the bases.
Grossguth, who had been pitched around for the entire tournament, smashed a two-run double to left field to plate Sutyla and D'Ambra.
"I'm just trying to be patient at the plate because I know they're going to try and be careful with me," Grossguth said. "I'm just trying to look for my pitch and drive it. I was looking for a pitch middle in so I could turn on it and that's what I got."
Reid drew a walk to reload the bases before Brown laid down a perfect bunt to score Barter. Bjorklund followed with a two-run single to left to score Grossguth and Reid. Brown and Bjorklund scored later in the inning following an infield error.
"We were just hitting line drives," Reid said. "We just tried to make contact. We knew that kid was throwing it pretty hard, so we knew if we made contact it would go pretty far."
Coventry made sure the game would end early in the fourth with the benefit of just one hit. Barter led off the inning with a single, but he was erased on a fielder's choice off the bat of Grossguth. Grossguth, Reid (walk), Steve Verrier (walk) and Bjorklund (error) all scored runs thanks to some shoddy Cranston defense.
Bjorklund, who didn't allow a run in his two outings against Cranston in the tournament, made quick work of Cranston in the fifth inning as Coventry added the 13-year-old state title to last year's 15-year-old state title won by Coach Joe Vigeant's squad.
"This was our goal," D'Ambra said.

|Hello. I just bought two pounds of Yukon Gold and two pounds of All Blue seed potatoes. I knew I wasn't going to get much but the potatoes that I received were huge They were already starting to grow I cut the Yukon Golds in half because they didn't have very much eyes. That scar was there when I received it.
I haven't received the All Blue potatoes yet. I was wondering if I should buy more seed potatoes. 5 of the seed cutting potatoes are starting to grow but our ground is still frozen with snow still here. 5 of the seed potato cuttings I am not so sure about. I am wondering if I should buy 4 more pounds (2 of each) I bought these from territorial seed company.
Follow-Up Postings:
|I'd put the ones you have in the 'fridge to slow their growth. It's not an issue that they are already sprouting, it's actually a good thing and will speed their growth in the garden, but it *IS* a problem if you can't plant them for a while. So get them in the 'fridge ASAP.
As for buying more......up to you, but the best deals are found at local stores if they carry potatoes. My local Southern States sells them for something like $0.43 per pound!!! Of course that does you no good if you can't get them locally.
The ones I don't get locally, I get from an outfit called DeBruyn Seeds (see the link below). They have fantastic prices on potatoes and asparagus. For instance, you spent $15.50 for 2 lbs of Yukon Gold at Territorial, but DeBruyn has 5 lbs for $3.49 and 50 lbs for $19.50!!! For a mere 4 extra dollars, you'd get 48 more pounds of potatoes!!!!!
I've been buying both asparagus and potatoes from them for years and have never been disappointed. I have no affiliation with them, just a satisfied customer
Here is a link that might be useful: DeBruyn Seed Co

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
We are for the very first time introduced to the SUV unit in the NYPD.
As it is lead but hotheaded but sympathetic detective Elliot
Stabler(Christopher Meloni), and his junior detective partner, Olivia
Benson(Mariska Hagraity), who was a victim of sexual abuse herself when
she was young.
There they are joined by Homicide Life on the Street Baltimore vet John Munch(Richard Belzer) and gruff yet compassionate Captain and boss Don Cragen(Dan Florek).
It has a much more sympathetic tone and would for years to come. Along with cases of sexual abuse and murder. Not as great and the best as the original but comes close to it.
It shows more of a gritty and dark but sympathetic tone than the original or Criminal Intent!

Updated Wed, May 18, 2011 by Space Junkie
Though EVE Online continues to publish two free expansions per year, there are also periodic updates that, while not total game-changers, are still a big deal. This patch is one of them, especially given how near and dear missions are to EVE players' hearts.
The Categorical Imperative
The biggest change of this patch is that agents will no longer be divided into 21 categories. Previously each agent would have a percentile change of giving combat, mining, trading, or courier missions. Out of all the agent types, only one (internal security) had a 100% chance of giving you missions of a particular type (in this case, combat missions).
Missions are the bread and butter of EVE Online. Most players will like these changes.
Henceforth, agents will be split between four categories that absolutely determine the mission type that will be offered. The result is that if you want to run combat missions, you can find a combat mission agent and run them to your heart's content without periodically getting assigned a mining mission.
The four mission categories and their mission types are:
It is not currently known whether trade missions feature at all, but I would guess that they are folded in with courier missions under distribution.
These changes unquestionably make things simpler for new players. Veteran players will also be able to exert more agency as to what missions they run. Nevertheless, there are some stalwart pilots that are disappointed by this change. I'm honestly a bit surprised, but it seems like some people enjoy the thrill of not knowing what kind of mission they would be assigned. Perhaps CCP will eventually re-introduce an agent that gives random missions some time in the future to mollify these chaos fetishists.
Since the agent divisions are being consolidated, there will no longer need to be quite so many skills dealing with them. The set of skills that increased loyalty-point payouts has been consolidated as well. These skill points are being refunded, though the ISK spent on them will not. Unfortunately, these skills were kind of expensive, so I imagine some people will be unhappy about that.
Agents Provocateur
The second major change to missions is that agents will no longer have quality level, per se. Instead they will be accessed as though they have -20 quality level, but offer rewards as though at +20 quality level.
Previously, quality level was essentially a more minute gradation of the agent level system, with higher quality agents necessitating higher standings to use them and benefit from their superior rewards. It was, however, kind of complicated, and I don't think anybody will miss them.
This is a huge change to the way mission hubs work in EVE Online. Previously, the best corporations to run missions for were those with a lot of level 4, quality 20 agents in the same solar system. One could ask each of them for missions, accept the lucrative offers, decline the less lucrative or more time-consuming offers, and generally make a big ol' profit.
Now, every agent of level 4 is just as good as any other, so advanced mission runners no longer need to spend their time in Motsu (or wherever), and need not only run them for a few select companies. I expect that over time players used to living in these mission hubs will diffuse throughout high-sec in a sort of brownian motion.
Importantly, this gives some of the less popular factions a major facelift. Probably the best example of this the Thukker faction. Previously, the Thukker had very limited options for missions: their best level 4 agent that offered combat missions was quality 0. All the better agents located in more dangerous areas of low-sec and null-sec. The result was a disproportionately low number of people would run missions for them, and the items available exclusively from the Thukker (like nomad implant sets) were over-priced.
The agent changes will also make running pirate missions in NPC-controlled null-sec more palatable. Previously, all of the best pirate agents would be located in just a couple of systems, meaning that players looking for PvP targets would hang around there, making it disproportionately dangerous. After this change, every pirate faction will have better options with regard to agents without needing to cram within the same death-trap solar systems.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adults
Adverse Events: Surgery and Weight Loss
Postsurgical complications after obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) surgical interventions can include infection, hemorrhage, nerve palsies, emergency surgical treatments, cardiovascular events, respiratory failure, rehospitalization, and death. Long-term adverse events resulting from OSA surgical interventions can include speech or voice changes, difficulties swallowing, and airway stenosis. There were no reported long-term adverse events associated with weight-loss programs. Note that adverse-event reporting in the evaluated studies was sparse. The adverse events listed here are evaluated based on cohorts of patients who received specific treatments within each randomized controlled trial, rather than by intertrial comparisons. Furthermore, many studies included short-term outcomes and provided little evidence regarding long-term adverse events.
