Adamrussell will say anything as harry potter for. Blogging options. What other social websites are there besides facebook , myyearbook, myspace, and twitter? Del.icio.us let you keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, restaurant reviews, and more and access them from any computer on the web.
Share favorites with friends, family, and colleagues. Discover new things. Everything on del.icio.us is someone's favorite - they've already done the work of finding it. Explore and enjoy. StumbleUpon is an intelligent browsing tool for sharing and discovering great websites. Technically: PLN Digestion. Google has its hooks dug pretty deeply into my personal and professional life.
I am a longtime user of their products beyond their search engine having had a number of blogs on Blogger for 7 years now. Over the years, I have read articles and talked to friends that have been to Google facilities concerning their laid back atmosphere, lack of schedule, time devoted to creativity, and high standards. Most recently, with our district's adoption of Google Apps, I have been considering the way in which Google operates. When is the social curation bubble going to burst?
You just can't move for social curation services right now.
The biggest noise might be coming from Pinterest, which is growing like a weed — but whether it's the new-look Delicious, Switzerland's Paperli, shopping curation site Svpply, image service Mlkshk or another site, the fact is that almost everybody seems to want to help you save and sort and share the things you find on the web right now. With this swirl of activity, then, it's no surprise to hear that Parisian service Pearltrees — slogan "collect, organize, discover" — has just raised another $6 million of funding, led by local conglomerate Groupe Accueil.

Connectivism should not be con fused with constructivism. George Siemens advances a theory of learning that is consistent with the needs of the twenty first century. His theory takes into account trends in learning, the use of technology and networks, and the diminishing half-life of knowledge. It combines relevant elements of many learning theories, social structures, and technology to create a powerful theoretical construct for learning in the digital age. Diigo traction. Google. CCK11.

If this screenplay proves anything, it's that if your writing skills are sharp enough, you can literally write a story about anything and make it work! I mean let's synopsis this thing for a second. A group of small town friends while inebriated, steal a crap load of beer. Home land security now comes to town and draws the (hilarious) conclusion that it was a move by a terrorist faction to fund their cause.
Let's think about that for a second...
This is a story about BEER!
I really liked it. It didn't take itself too seriously. The characters felt real. The dialogue was clear and the scenes flowed like water. A mark of a good story to me is always it's ability to keep you from snoring on the next page and I certainly did not snooze once during my read of this work. I was entertained throughout.
As far as nitpicks go, I thought you were setting up Danny's loyalty for his friends to be testing much more than it was. His boss wanted him to distance himself from his boys. His girl wanted him to distance himself from them as well. I thought this was going to lead him to a point where he may or may not sell Floyd and the rest out to the agents.
Early in the story you seemed to establish that there was a bit of bitterness between Floyd and his baby bro that went just a tad beyond your usual sibling rivalry. I'm not sure if that sub-story was resolved, if it was intended to be a sub-story at all, that is.
So, yeah. That's about it. This certainly isn't intended to be most epic of stories, which is fine, and does well what it set out to do. I can easily see myself popping it in the ol' DVD player then cracking myself a cold can of, well...I think you know. Good work!

A review of Who Iced Frosty V.2by lemuel2 on 10/13/2010Man, hats off to one of the most original reads I've encounter in my "tenure" here at TS. The very idea of wrapping fairy tale characters in 1940's detective story. Very nicely done. One of my first concerns was that this script was going to be high on ambition and low on delivery, but I'm pleased to say that it wasn't. The script was very polished. The lines of dialogue... read
A review of Central Darkby lemuel2 on 09/12/2010Central Dark Review Here's my opinion on your script. Take what you need, dump the rest in the trash. First off, this is a competent script. Cool title. Action lines are neat and to the point. Dialogue is gets the job done, and the characters don't feel like wooden pegs being moved across a story board. This doesn't feel like someone's first attempt at a screenplay at all... read
A review of Extracurricularby lemuel2 on 04/04/2010I was ALMOST ready to dismiss this script as being an outright bore. Almost. But then three quarters of the way through it kinda started to kick ass. Things were fairly interesting in the beginning. It kinda felt like a dark comedy set in the world of law students. That by itself is kind of a fresh idea. We see high school and college dramas all the time with a bunch of angst... read

I found this for $4.99 at TJ Maxx.
It's the first Lily Prune scent I've tried.
It seems as high quality as any more expensive fragrance and better than most.
This one is a sort of pungent fruity scent, maybe some tropical fruits and possibly grapefruit and/or berry. I can't make out all the notes. I don't really smell much musk but it seems to soften the fruitiness of it, rouding out the fragrance so it is more of a perfume and less of a "body mist" or "body splash". I think this one is very feminine and nice, very wearable.

The Miner Part 2 wrote:roto = skill
h2h weekly = skill and a lot of lucky moments.
Unless of course you're in a good league and everybody is roughly the same skill level. Then, luck is a huge factor... even in roto.
I drafted Abreu, Bay, A Ram, Peavy, Petitte, Sexson and Gagne with my first 7 picks. (Had the 9th pick)
Should I have expected Bay, A Ram, Petitte, Sexson and to a lesser extent Abreu to underperform like they have? What about Gagne hiding an injury and going on the DL after he pitched well this Spring?
Luck is definitely a factor... and this is coming from a guy who won two championships and finished the regular season in first the last three years of my money league.
On average I figure the skill/luck split is roughly:
30/70 in fantasy football
60/40 in H2H fantasy baseball
70/30 in Roto fantasy baeball
Of course these numbers will fluctuate greatly based on how good the league is. For example, winning a roto fantasy baseball league comprised of 10 cafe veterans might consist of 90% luck.
(unless of couse I won in which case it would be all skill)

Darkness detector
This circuit based project demonstrates the principle and operation behind the darkness detector. For example lamps which switch on automatically in the night. Various decoration lights are needed to be switched on automatically in dark.
The circuit described here is more of a sensor application with a speaker attached to it as output. However, depending upon the application, user can attach a night lamp or series of small LEDs to the circuit too.
Constructed around a 555 timer IC and LDR, this darkness detector circuit uses a 9V battery as a power source along with a couple of passive circuit components: resistance and capacitance.
In this circuit 555 works in astable mode producing a frequency of about 56 hertz. Pin 4 which is reset pin is connected to ground through a LDR. Reset pin which is active high if gets directly connected to ground and circuit does not functions, but in this circuit when there is dark, the resistance of LDR becomes very high and conduction does not takes place so high voltage is retained at pin4 and circuit functions; there by making it a dark activate circuit. In presence of light the resistance of LDR becomes low and reset pin takes ground and speaker does not sounds while circuit works in dark and speaker sounds. This project can have varied applications like by using this circuit for high frequency we can make dark activated decoration lamps or night lamps (they could be closed by switch too). In security systems where we need continuous light we can place this circuit along with speaker and this could intimate us if light fails.
Resistor Resistor is a passive component used to control current in a circuit. Its resistance is given by the ratio of voltage applied across its terminals to the current passing through it. Thus a particular value of resistor, for fixed voltage, limits the current through it. They are omnipresent in electronic circuits. ... |
Capacitor Capacitor is a passive component used to store charge. The charge (q) stored in a capacitor is the product of its capacitance (C) value and the voltage (V) applied to it. Capacitors offer infinite reactance to zero frequency so they are used for blocking DC components or bypassing the AC signals. The capacitor undergoes through a recursive cycle of charging and discharging in AC circuits where the voltage and curre... |
LDR An LDR (Light dependent resistor), as its name suggests, offers resistance in response to the ambient light. The resistance decreases as the intensity of incident light increases, and vice versa. In the absence of light, LDR exhibits a resistance of the order of mega-ohms which decreases to few hundred ohms in the presence of light. It can act as a sensor, since a varying voltage drop can be obtained... |
Speaker A loudspeaker (or "speaker") is a transducer that converts electrical energy into acoustical energy. When an electric signal is applied to the input pin of speaker, it generates sound waves. The other pin is connected to ground. A speaker is commonly used to produce sound in response to a sensor output. For example, in an... |
Piezo Buzzer The piezo buzzer produces sound based on reverse of the piezoelectric effect. The generation of pressure variation or strain by the application of electric potential across a piezoelectric material is the underlying... |
555 Timer IC 555 is a very commonly used IC for generating accurate timing pulses. It is an 8pin timer IC and has mainly two modes of operation: monostable and astable. In monostable mode time delay of the pulses can be precisely controlled by an external resistor and a capacitor whereas in astable mode the frequency & duty cycle are controlled by two external resistors and a... |

This link is to a webpage on the Federal Trade Commission's consumer protection site. It has a great summary of the various options available to consumers who are struggling with managing their debt.
I think it's especially useful in its discussion of the differences between debt management programs (DMP's) and debt negotiation or debt settlement programs. The latter are a great way of paying an outside firm to destroy your credit. These outfits are so unethical that we don't even discuss them here, other than to note their presence and advise members to avoid them at all costs.

Defensive back spent first seven seasons of his career in Buffalo. Joe Fortenbaugh
Released by the Bills on February 11, free agent safety George Wilson didn't have to wait long to find a new home.
The Tennessee Titans announced on Friday that they have reached an agreement with the 31-year-old safety. Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean reports via twitter that it's a two-year deal worth $4 million, but could reach as high as $5 million due to incentives.
Wilson recorded 12 interceptions and made 55 starts for the Bills during his seven years in Buffalo, including a career-best 16 starts in 2012. He leaves the league's 22nd-ranked defense—who opted against paying his $2.9 million salary—to join the NFL's 27th-ranked defense from a year ago.
He should feel right at home.

In my last few blogs, I've written about the upcoming audition season, and today, I want to address one of the most important parts of the process: Audition photos. Most summer programs, schools and companies will ask you to bring photos of yourself in certain poses; I've seen first arabesque, developpe a la seconde, attitude croise and others requested. The hard part, obviously, is not doing these poses, it's getting them to look good on film.
Injuries can be devastating to a dancer. How do you survive when you can't perform or even take class?
The Dancers' Resource, part of The Actor's Fund in New York City, is offering a support group for injured dancers. The eight week program, led by The Dancers' Resource social worker, offers a space for professionals to confidentially discuss the emotional issues that accompany an injury.
Dates: Tuesdays, January 11 to March 1
Times: 2:00 to 3:30 pm
Location: The Actors Fund, 729 Seventh Avenue, 11th Floor
As 2010 draws to a close, many of us find ourselves looking back at the year that has passed, and looking ahead at the year to come. It's the time to think about what you have done, and what you will do. Regrets surface, and resolutions are formed to do better "next time".
Each year, the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts invites the country's most talented high school seniors to Miami for YoungArts Week for master classes, interdisciplinary workshops, performances and more. Out of the 5164 applicants, this year's 148 finalists were just named, and they include ballet students Jaimi Cullen, Cassandra Trenary and Alexandra Koszeghy.
There's one question every aspiring or newly minted professional ballerina knows the answer to: What's your dream role? Whether it's Odette/Odile, Aurora, or Nikiya, every one of us aspires to one ballet, or one role in particular. Once we get that part, we think, we've got it made--we've arrived.
Get ready for the new year by giving your computer or phone a ballet makeover. Following their successful "Moving Movements" campaign throughout Germany, Hamburg Ballet is offering free wallpapers and screensavers of images of their dancers. Download your favorites for free at http://www.hamburgballett.de/e/desktop.htm
Recently, the ballet world has been abuzz over Alastair Macaulay's controversial review of NYCB's Jenifer Ringer and Jared Angle's performance on the opening night of Nutcracker. He wrote that Ringer "looked as if she'd eaten on sugar plum too many" and that Angle "seems to have been sampling half the Sweet realm". I'm not going to go into the controversial and oft-discussed topic of weight as it pertains to ballet, but I do want to talk about what it feels like, and what to do when a critic has gone too far.
One of the things we love most about Black Swan is that it gets all the little details right--down to the practice clothes. Nina and Lily's refined leotards are exactly the sort of chic, understated pieces real ballerinas would wear. That's unsurprising, given that dancewear superstar Yumiko designed the leos especially for stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.

You are hereHand Held Laser Range Finder, LH80A/LH85A
Hand Held Laser Range Finder, LH80A/LH85A
Is an invaluable instrument for infantry units in close support roles; providing tactical advantage by achieving pin point target sighting with an instant, accurate range readout. It is completely self-contained in a sturdy waterproof aluminum housing built the shape of a conventional binocular.
Its ergonomic configuration and simple, easily accessible controls allow unrestricted use even by operators with heavily gloved hands.The device can measure distances to targets repeatedly with an accuracy of plus or minus 5 meters over the entire range. Although designed originally for the infantry to determine observer and target positions, the versatile unit can have many other military roles with an optical performance comparable to that of most standard observation monocular. It can be used as a general surveillance instrument;
whilst the incorporation of mounting points on the underside of the range finder housing enables it to be interfaced readily with a variety of other equipment to extend its operational role.
The accurate range information provided by the range finder may be applied directly to existing field artillery computing systems. The training filter reduces the laser output energy by 90 percent to make it eye-safe at shorter distances. The hand held laser range finder functions with the same accuracy in extreme climatic environments as that attained under normal conditions.
- Light weight, compact configuration, simple operation.
- Remote range facility.
- Multiple target selection.
- Optional remote firing.
- Battery charger enables you to charge batteries with external power supply.
- Robust, modular construction.
- Comprehensive two-year warranty.

I've tried some of the fabric pots from the Root Control line and am impressed with the kind of fibrous root growth I get with the woody shrubs I'm growing. But I'm always looking for homegrown options and I wonder if anyone has had experience in creating their own kind of air-root-pruning system? I don't care if it's labor intensive; I just want to use ready-at-hand products and save a bit of money. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The following should work for you. It is based on some 'playing around' projects I have been working on with great success. 1. Purchase a roll of landscape (weed barrier) cloth. It should be the type which has a sort of black, velvety appearance on one side. This runs through a sewing machine with ease. Sorry, I can't remember the name of this particular landscape cloth at the moment. 2. Cut out a piece the needed height and length for pot side and sew the seam together. 3. Now, cut a circle and fit plus sew it to the bottom to complete the 'bag'. 4. At Walmart's notion counter you will find a waterproof glue designed to attach beading to garments. This works well. There are other types of glue but this one is my favorite. Glue all seams with this. 5. Cut a circle of heavy plastic to fit inside bottom of bag. 6. Dig hole for bag placement, insert bag, add soil and plant. I can assure you that these will last for years. Once you begin working with the construction you should be able to figure out the method which goes together quickly. It is possible that you may want to fold over and sew the top of the bag for rigidity. |

Anderson University's Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team was selected as the national winner in the Sam's Club Environmental Sustainability Challenge on Earth Day, April 22, at the Sam's Club home office in Bentonville, Arkansas. AU competed against eight other finalists, chosen from hundreds of SIFE teams from colleges and universities from around the country.
This year's national competition was the third annual; for each of the three years, the AU SIFE team has taken home the top award.
The goal of the challenge, sponsored by Sam's Club, was to inspire environmentally sustainable practices in the lives of Sam's Club small business customers and their businesses as well as within their customers and communities. The AU SIFE team worked with two existing Sam's Club small business clients- Shear Transitions Beauty Salon and Simpson Place- to incorporate environmentally friendly changes, and in turn improve their financial efficiency.
The students worked with Glenn Plumbing to recommend ways each company could improve hot water supply and reduce temperature loss. Additionally they added insulation, replaced light bulbs with energy-efficient bulbs, installed weather stripping, recommended a schedule for opening and closing foundation vents, and installed solar flood security lighting. The team also purchased a variety of eco-friendly hair care products to be used in place of traditional commercial salon products at Shear Transitions Beauty Salon. As a result of these changes, both businesses experienced a significant reduction in their power bills and expect long-term savings as well.
Of the win, AU SIFE team president Danielle Atkinson stated, "It was an honor for the Anderson University SIFE Team to be named the Sam's Club Environmental Sustainability Challenge National Champions for the 3rd consecutive year. It could not have been done without the support of the AU College of Business and the Business Students who dedicated countless hours toward making businesses in our area environmentally sustainable."
SIFE is an international non-profit organization that works with leaders in business and higher education to mobilize university students to make a difference in their communities while developing the skills to become socially responsible business leaders. Participating students form teams on their university campuses and apply business concepts to develop outreach projects that improve the quality of life and standard of living.
As winners of the national competition, the AU SIFE team is the recipient of a $5,000 grant, which will be used to fund SIFE projects for the coming academic year.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is endorsing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to be the GOP presidential nominee. Rubio previously said he would stay neutral in the race, but has now changed his tune. He says it's clear Romney will win the nomination and that continuing the primary fight will only damage efforts to beat President Barack Obama.
"The quicker we can get this campaign on that focus -- focused on the president's record, on the alternative that we offer -- the better off we're going to be as a movement but also the better off the country's going to be," Rubio told Fox News.
Last week, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush also announced he was backing Romney, and former President George H.W. Bush is expected to announce his support Friday. Meanwhile, Rubio -- a freshman senator and Tea Party favorite -- has been mentioned as a potential vice-president pick. He dismissed the idea, saying his focus remains on the Senate.

After six years of vague accusations and finger pointing, those responsible for the 2008 illegal robocalls targeting then-Turlock City Council candidate Mary Jackson will have to face financial consequences.
The City of Turlock wants legislators, policymakers and the public to know where it stands on important policy positions. To help make sure those positions are communicated, the City Council on Tuesday will consider adopting the 2014-15 Legislative Platform for the City of Turlock and authorizing the city manager to participate in the League of Cities advocacy efforts.
The California Department of Housing and Community Development is giving away a record-breaking $73.6 million to help 109 cities and counties build much needed parks and/or repair existing parks and recreation facilities within their community, including $443,100 for Turlock.
Assemblymember Kristin Olsen (R-Modesto) was unanimously elected to be the next Assembly Republican Leader.
As California marks the tenth anniversary of the Paid Family Leave program, a new law that took effect Tuesday will be expanding coverage to a broader circle of family members.
The Turlock City Council delayed a vote to move forward with the North Valley Regional Recycled Water Project – a proposal to sell treated wastewater to farmers in Westside Stanislaus by developing what would be one of the largest regional recycled water projects in the nation – Tuesday evening, a project that has been under consideration for years.
In an effort to reduce California's long-term fiscal liabilities, Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 1469 on Tuesday, fully funding the teachers' retirement system over a period of years through annual contributions of school districts, teachers and state government.
Future Farmers of America chapters across the state are celebrating as the Agriculture Education Incentive Grant, which funds FFA, was removed from the chopping block in Gov. Jerry Brown's final budget that was released earlier this week.
Of the 9,528 junior water rights curtailment notices sent to Central Valley farmers by the State Water Resources Control Board on May 27 requiring them to stop diverting water from all streams flowing to the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, only 21 percent mailed back the mandated response - an indicator of local farmers' posture towards the Board's intervention during this drought period.
City and community leaders gathered Wednesday morning for the unveiling of the new Singh Walkway sign at the northeast storm basin. The sign is located at the previously unnamed pathway located at the storm basin off Christoffersen Parkway and Zeering Road.
Local legislators had mixed reactions to the $108 billion budget approved by the state Legislature in an unusual Father's Day session.
In a 4-1 vote on Tuesday, Turlock City Council members approved the general fund budget, which reflects $32.4 million in spending, for the next fiscal year set to begin on July 1.
In a unanimous vote on Tuesday, the Turlock City Council decided to move forward with the next stage of the North Valley Regional Recycled Water Project – a proposal to sell treated wastewater to farmers in west Stanislaus County by developing what would be one of the largest regional recycled water projects in the nation.
Local legislators are opposing a proposal that would eliminate funds promised to help reduce pollution in the Central Valley.
Despite impassioned pleas against its construction, a new Taco Bell is one step closer to being built on N. Golden State Boulevard near the Pitman High campus.
The Turlock Chamber of Commerce's stake in the Turlock Convention and Visitors Bureau could be coming to an end pending a vote from the Turlock City Council on Feb. 10.
Local smokers may soon find themselves at a loss for a place to light up in public as, after five months of discussion, the decision to ban smoking and electronic or vapor smoking devices will appear before the Turlock City Council on Tuesday.
Unlike most weekends, City Hall was an active site on Saturday with the inaugural Turlock City Council workshop taking place where the new mayor and council set out to discuss their strategic plan for the city.

Is it OK to leave a roof with just the tar paper on it for a few days-in the rain-before getting the shingles on? Will the underlayment stay dry? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, May 2, 12 at 8:29
It may get wet if it is a soaking rain but should dry out. My main concern would be water getting into the house as tar paper does not seal completely. |
- Posted by lovescats06 (My Page) on Wed, May 2, 12 at 8:58
Water getting into the house is my concern also. The contractor I have doing our roof is having his crew take off the entire roof before they shingle it. Half of it is now just tar paper and he said it will take 2 more days to get the rest off (they are working very slow!). In the meantime-we got a hard, long rain last night. They probably won't come today becuase more rain is expected. In fact they are calling for more rain the rest of the week off and on. I'm guessing they won't get to the shingles until first of the week at the earliest. Should I be worried then? This is a house we're redoing and all the drywall, ceilings, etc. is new inside. |
If laid out properly, the tar paper should suffice as long as it is intact. With a strong enough wind gust, it could tear and leave a gap in the coverage. Protecting the tar paper with a tarp might be good insurance. |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Wed, May 2, 12 at 11:24
I was remiss in not mentioning that as well, a large tarp would suffice perfectly. |
- Posted by lovescats06 (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 7:57
We haven't had any bad winds with the rain and the tar paper seems to be intact, but in the morning when it is wet, it is all rippled. Is this OK? It seems to flatten back out once it dries out. |
Finished house or new construction? Tarps are normally used on a finished house for protection, while in a new house there should not be anything that would be damaged. |
It probably would have been better if you waited until the roof was done before you put up new sheetrock, but maybe you didn't know the roof was bad at that time. I believe a good roofing contractor would have completed half the roof before doing the tear-off on the other side. Ask him about that, I'm curious. Also, does he have insurance, in case your sheetrock got ruined? |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 13:05
That seems to be awfully slow work. It's a little alarming, actually, as to how slow the project is going. He's getting paid by the job, not the hour, right? There's nothing wrong with tar paper as a roof surface for a little while. The danger comes with the guys walking on it or with wind blowing rain under the laps. For asphalt roofing, it does need to be as flat as possible when installing the shingles over it. If it's getting quite a bit of curl/wrinkle, I'm guessing he used 15 lb. paper rather than 30 lb. Me personally, after he's gotten to the end and the roof is all off, I'd want the 15 lb. taken up and 30 lb. installed before shingling began. That might be an hour's worth of time and another $150 in materials for a proper roofing crew. And, it's overkill according to most manufacturers. I'm all about overkill when it's that darn cheap to do though. |

LOS ANGELES -- The most prized holiday guests are those that eat with gusto, express their appreciation and lick their plates clean.
So what if some of them eat off the floor, get a little sloppy and never help with the dishes?
At Nancy Guberti's house, Flower, a 6-year-old black-and-white shih tzu, will eat the same organic turkey and spinach as Guberti's own sons.
"She's part of the family and she's such a good dog," Guberti said. "We treat her with the utmost respect, like you'd want to be treated."
Guberti, a certified nutritionist in New York City, makes a special dinner for the whole family to share five times a year -- Christmas, New Year's, Easter, Thanksgiving and Flower's June 10 birthday.
Plenty of people cook for their dogs year-round, but the holidays might be the easiest time because human menus can be so easily adapted to their needs, said Sarah Zorn, a New York pet columnist for the magazine Everyday with Rachael Ray. She also creates and tests most of the pet recipes the magazine runs.
"Do unto your dog as you are doing to yourself," she said. Ingredients that are good for humans are very often good for dogs too, she said.
Dogs have millions of taste buds, said Dr. Katy Nelson. But the veterinarian said those taste buds are not really well defined -- and neither is the dog's sense of smell.
"My dog thinks the garbage can smells good, so it's all subjective," Zorn said.
Nelson, who hosts "The Pet Show" on Saturdays on News Channel 8 in Washington, D.C., had guests who made turkey cakes she plans to make for Papi, her 70-pound Labradoodle, on Christmas morning.
They look like crabcakes, with brown rice, vegetables and shredded turkey. You mix that with an egg, make patties and sear them in a pan," she said.
How would you fix a traditional holiday dinner of appetizers, turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, biscuits and dessert to serve dogs and humans? No matter how spicy the human food is, the dog's has to be bland and low-fat.
"Before dinner, they can graze like everybody else, have a couple of carrot sticks and cheese cubes," Zorn said.
When it comes to preparing the turkey, go saltless, she said. Eliminate onions and garlic, white flour, refined sugars and processed foods.
That doesn't mean you can't put anything in the dog's meal. "There are actually a lot of herbs that are good for dogs. Parsley is good for them -- it's a natural breath freshener. Ginger is good for digestion and turmeric is good.
It's hard to make biscuits without flour, Zorn said. "But try to use whole wheat, barley, rice, flax or amaranth because they should really have a low-gluten diet."
For side dishes, make the green beans with chicken stock or sauteed mushroom soup. Before you candy the sweet potatoes, take one out for the dog and steam it with a little cinnamon and ginger. White potatoes are OK, too, although not as healthy as sweet potatoes. A little cranberry sauce is good for a dog. Instead of gravy, use turkey juice or stock, Zorn said (as long as it's not made with onions).
For dessert, Zorn recommends gingerbread biscuits. Dogs also love peanut butter cookies with yogurt frosting, she said.
Zorn tries out many of her creations on her own dog Rowdy, a hound mix. "He is the first rung of the testing process. He's my child to be sure -- obsessed with food. If this dog doesn't eat it, the recipe needs to be scrapped," she said.
All of the dog's food can go in one bowl, Zorn said. Every other day of the year, Rowdy gets 11/2 cups of food twice a day, so he'll get the same on Christmas Day. "We are talking about making this special, but he's not going to gain 10 pounds."
Zorn drew up a quick nice-naughty dog food list.
Bad: Chocolate, coffee, alcohol, raisins and grapes, onions and garlic, milk, avocado, macadamia nuts and yeast. Cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower can cause gas but are OK in small doses. Tomatoes, eggplant and peppers aren't dangerous but add nothing positive to a dog's diet.
Good: Lean meats, fish, tuna, olive oil, eggs, egg shells, yogurt, carrots, green beans, peas, sweet potatoes and pumpkin.
Finally, Zorn said Santa's reindeer would probably turn up their noses at Santa's cookies and milk.
But they would welcome a bowl of berries, acorns, a carrot, a little hay or alfalfa pellets, along with a bowl of water.
Here is a simple recipe for gingerbread biscuits that should make you a hit with your dogs during the holidays. It's from Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine. Each pet is different, so check with your vet to see if it's suitable for your dog.
-- 3 cups whole-wheat flour
-- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
-- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
-- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-- 1/2 cup molasses
-- 1/2 cup water
Heat the oven to 325 F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger and cinnamon. Mix in the oil, molasses and water, then let rest for 15 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until 1/4 inch thick. Using holiday-themed or bone-shaped cookie cutters, cut out cookies, rerolling the dough scraps and cutting out more as able. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, then bake until firm, about 20 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet, then store in an airtight container. Makes 24.

Yesterday I went to a live taping of the Letterman show and got to see my girl, Lady Gaga in person.
She was sweet, funny and as usual, unapologetically her. Not surprising that she's now the most popular (and one of the highest earning) artists in the world. Did you hear she crashed Amazon's servers yesterday with her new album release?!? Crazy pants…
One of my favorite things that she shared was how she dealt with years of rejection before anyone gave her the time of day. An incredible lesson for us all in perseverance and determination.
Speaking of making your dreams come true, do you ever feel like you're outgrowing your relationships?
I mean, how do you handle the people (friends, co-workers, family even) who are uncomfortable –or even seem to dislike — the newer, more enhanced version of you?
We all have a fear of "leaving people behind," but what do you do if people really seem to be holding you back? Watch today's video to find out my take on this often difficult subject.
Got feedback? I'd love to know…how, specifically, have you handled people who were uncomfortable with your growth? What worked and what didn't? Share your ideas, and stories below.
P.S. SAVE THE DATE! We've starting the hard core planning of Rich Happy & Hot LIVE in NYC. If you're not yet on the hot list, jump on it and be the first to get our entire list of speakers and registration information the moment it drops.

Personal Statement I came to psychoanalysis from the special education classroom. What I enjoyed most in my many years as a special educator was the intensive one to one interaction I had with each student. They ranged from special needs infants to autistic adolescents and varied enormously in their abilities. As a teacher, it was clear to me that students of any ability can have obstacles to learning at their optimum capacity. It was also clear that my relationship with each student contributed greatly to their freedom to learn, and at times, their difficulty in learning.
Once the analyst I was seeing at the time learned of my intense interest in how relationship affects growth he arranged for me to visit his institute in Westchester, NY. I loved being in the culture of psychoanalysis! He then referred me to a listing he'd found for the more local Boston Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies. An analyst welcomed my phone call to her exclaiming that educators of young and impaired children made the best analysts! I was thrilled and the rest, as they say, is history.
And history has been the name of the game - my history, that of modern psychoanalysis and of the Boston Center (now Graduate School.) All these histories have blended and are marked by milestones of growth and regression, success and failure, gain and loss. My history-in-the-making here at BGSP with students, friends and colleagues, and patients has contributed to what gives great meaning and energy to my life.
My current work at BGSP includes: private practice in Brookline; academic advisor at BGSP; junior faculty member; and candidacy in PsyaD program at BGSP. I am also interested in the intersection of psychoanalytic theory and practice with that of Buddhist doctrine and meditation practice, of which I have been a student for 20 years.
Research Primitive states, negativity and somatization, loss and mourning.

Edinboro University will hold 2nd Annual Lights Out on Leukemia Black Light Dance
02/27/2012For the second time in as many years, Edinboro University students, faculty and community members will dance the night away in hopes of a better future for those afflicted with Leukemia during the University's "Lights Out on Leukemia Black Light Dance."
The special dance will take place on Friday, March 23, starting at 7:45 p.m. in the Frank G. Pogue Student Center's Multi-Purpose Room.
This event in particular is very important to Edinboro student Emily Leary, who initiated the Lights Out dance on campus last year.
"I started this dance last year as a fundraiser for my eldest sister Jen's Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Man and Woman of the Year campaign," Emily said. "Jen and I have been active in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for a few years now, including participating in the Team in Training program."
This year's event will begin with actual accounts from patients, families and survivors. At 8:45 p.m., the lights will be turned off, music turned up and the dancing will begin, continuing until midnight. At that time, final total amount collected will be revealed, and one last song, celebrating the lives of those who are afflicted with the disease, will be played.
"Last year we were able to raise $637.24 and this year we are hoping to raise at least $2,000," Emily said. "If we are able to get 400 people to attend, we will meet our goal."
The dance event is open to all students, faculty, staff and community members, and is considered to be "family friendly."
As an added incentive, should more than 50 Edinboro students raise $100 or more each, turning in their funds the night of the dance, their names will be entered into a raffle offering the winner a choice of a new iPod Touch or $200 Visa gift card.
"This is an opportunity for students to honor those close to them. It makes make this event very personal, and I feel it will light the fire in Edinboro's fight against cancer," Emily said. "We will be continuing this event yearly, and we already have some big plans for Lights Out on Leukemia 2013," said Leary.
Tickets are $5 apiece. All funds raised go directly to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Refreshments and glow sticks will be provided for all who attend.
According to Emily, charitable donations can be made payable to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and mailed to: Lights Out on Leukemia, In Care of Edinboro University Student Government Association, 405 Scotland Road, Edinboro, Pennsylvania, 16444.

text: Silent Bob speaks! An assemblage of college campus Q&A's, Kevin Smith plays like a long victory lap for the ''Dogma'' director. The fanboy veneration is tiresome, but Smith's dishy Hollywood confidentials about nearly scripting a Superman film and shooting a never-seen documentary for Prince make the wet kisses worth wading through. Lewd, crude, and often hysterical -- just like a Kevin Smith flick, only with better camera work.

A local historic preservation organization is having an antique auction to raise funds. I'm at the point in my life where I'm ready to part with my green depression glass collection and perhaps some of my antique furniture. Does this sound like a reasonable option at this point? I'm pretty sure my kids do not want any of the items, and I don't have an easy way of selling them otherwise. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds wonderful! Lord knows funds for historic preservaion and slim to none....wonderful thing for you to do. But check with your kids first....my mother gave away a lot of things I would have liked because she thought "no one is interested." Ask first. Linda C |
I think it's a great way to get rid of it for a good cause. |
I don't know what your financial situation is (and you shouldn't be sharing it with us if it's at all traceable) but you may wish to talk with your accountant about the tax benefits of donating to a charity--you may be able to get a significant tax deduction if you itemize the year you donate...but you will need a receipt from the charity to do that....work it out with them ahead of time, etc. When I was the director of a nonprofit, I spent a significant amount of time writing thank you/valuation letters for donations (to be used for this purpose). :) |
What happens to it if you donate it and it doesn't sell? Do you have to haul it back home, or do they simply give it away, or store it for next time? That would be just to help you make your plans for the day! KarinL |
At an auction....everything sells. |
Thanks all! I need to get some more info about what needs to happen. I'll let you all know how it goes! |

Glowing Reviews for Raleigh
Michael Farber of Sports Illustrated gave Raleigh, North Carolina the proverbial 'two thumbs up' for the job the city and Hurricanes' did in hosting the All-Star Game. Sean Leahy of Puck Daddy praised the weekend for the access it gave fans to one of the NHL's forbidden fruits: personality from its players.
Every player said that they enjoyed the new format and hope to see it again next year. And why wouldn't they? Friday's Draft brought some personality out of guys and gave the team captains the opportunity to have some fun and make things uneasy for their fellow players — or teammates and brothers in the cases of Patrick Kane and Eric Staal. It let fans in on what they crave from players: personality.
Player Poll Reveals Crosby Among Most Respected
A poll conducted by the NHLPA and Hockey Night In Canada saw Sidney Crosby earn top marks in five categories: the smartest, the toughest forward to play against, the toughest player overall to face, the best role model, and top player to start a franchise with. Other highlights of the poll include resounding support for fighting to remain in the game, and top marks for Edmonton's ice conditions but terrible reviews on the Oilers as a desirable franchise to play for.
New York Times Q and A with Donald Fehr
Not a bad read here with this NYT Donald Fehr interview. The NHLPA's executive director is unsurprisingly cautious in his responses, but makes for a rather engaging interview.
Ray Emery Eyes Comeback Following Hip Surgery
Former Philadelphia Flyers and Ottawa Senators goaltender Ray Emery would like to play in the NHL again and he's set to begin his trek back there. Emery has not played since last season before he was diagnosed with avascular necrosis, a degenerative disease which essentially destoryed the bone tissue in the ball of his right hip. Emery has begun practicing for the first time since an April bone graft operation to rejuvenate his hip:
"I'm ready to go and start training in the American Hockey League and know that my body can take that kind of exertion… The hockey's not all the way there. I feel like a player at the end of the summer who needs some training and some games to get a feeling for the game again."
Canucks Recall Cody Hodgson
It appears as though 2008 10th overall pick Cody Hodgson will get a chance to prove himself in the NHL as the Vancouver Canucks have called him up from the Manitoba Moose of the AHL.
I'm not sure where most of these originate, but thanks to the readers that send them my way.

- 2013 season
FIA confirms 19-race calendar
The FIA has confirmed there will only be 19 races this season after the World Motor Sport Council met on Friday.
A 20th race slot was being held open for a European venue, but after discussions to hold a round in Turkey or France fell through Bernie Ecclestone admitted there would only be 19 races this year. On Friday the FIA confirmed the news meaning there will be a three-week gap between the German and Hungarian Grands Prix in the middle of the season.
The WMSC also said "negotiations over the Concorde Agreement were proceeding positively in order to be concluded in the near future."

I believe in the principles and ideas first set forth by our founding fathers. The genius of the men who bravely defied England to establish our country is best illustrated by the Declaration of Independence and Constitution they drafted so many years ago. Our Constitution has stood the test of time and remains the keystone of our form of government.
When I read the Mount Vernon Statement, drafted by conservative leaders, I recognized immediately that it reflected my beliefs and principles and that it was a document I would proudly sign. So I have done exactly that.
The authors of the Mount Vernon Statement wrote, "We recommit ourselves to the ideas of the American Founding Fathers. Through the Constitution, the Founders created an enduring framework of limited government based on the rule of law. They sought to secure national independence, provide for economic opportunity, establish true religious liberty and maintain a flourishing society of republican self-government."
I agree completely with the Mount Vernon Statement and believe strongly that most of America's problems can be solved today by following the principles and ideas of the men who founded our country. We must move in the right direction – back to the principles first set forth in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
I believe in constitutional conservatism that follows the principles set forth in the Mount Vernon Statement:
As long as I live I will never forget being a part of the movement to kill the income tax when it was being proposed a decade ago here in Tennessee. So many Conservatives from across the state came together to tell our Governor, and our legislature, that an income tax was not what this state needed. We understood that lower taxes equal a more prosperous people, and an income tax would have placed a heavy burden on us – and we knew it needed to be stopped. It was a great day for our state when the idea was finally rejected and the voices for low taxation had won the day.
When I go to Congress I promise to continue to fight for lower taxes, less government regulation, and less government spending. The projected federal deficit is almost $1 trillion annually over the next ten years. We must work to reduce spending and make permanent budget cuts. $20 billion in earmarks is unacceptable. $55 billion in overpayments to federal programs must end. And the fact that discretionary spending has increased 74% faster than inflation since 2001 is unconscionable. President Obama's miniscule spending freeze over the next decade does not come close to solving the problem. Real action must be taken.
It is imperative that we overhaul our current tax system in order to reduce the amount of red tape and money that is spent and lost due to an overly complicated tax system. I am a strong proponent of looking at moving to a system such as the Fair Tax that would do all of those things.
I will also continue to fight against a government takeover of health care, and fight for reform that truly works for the people. As I have been saying since day 1 of this campaign, we need tort reform, Health Savings Accounts, and portability of health insurance. All of these reforms will lower costs and allow the free market to do what it does best. We cannot allow the federal government to turn our health care system into a waiting line at the DMV.
Finally, I promise that special interest groups in Washington will not find an open door in my congressional office. I have fought for Conservative values all my life because I know those are what work best for us, the people. I fought against the income tax because it was going to hurt the citizens of Tennessee. Having owned a small business for the last 23 years, I know how to balance a budget, create jobs, and what policies work best for everyday Americans. I will always fight for the Conservative policies that help everyday Americans – not politicos, party bosses, and special interest groups in Washington.
Thirty-seven years ago the United States Supreme Court, in a display of judicial activism and constitutional revisionism at its worst, handed down the ruling in Roe v. Wade that made abortion, for any reason, legal. Since this decision, 52 million unborn children have had their lives taken from them, and the number grows each day.
Not only is it important for Roe v. Wade, and other rulings such as Planned Parenthood v. Casey, to be overturned, but it is also important that we work to discourage mothers from having abortions. I support the advocacy that crisis pregnancy centers are involved in which provides counseling to expectant mothers and provides options to them other than abortion. I support many different pieces of pro-life legislation, such as a mother who is considering an abortion being given the opportunity to have an ultrasound, that are helping lower the number of abortions taking place in this country.
The respect and value of human life, at all stages, is the defining difference between a civilized society and an uncivilized society. It is imperative that those of us who have a voice and a vote take a stand for the millions of unborn children who do not have a voice or a vote. While we are saddened by the law and precedent set by the court almost forty years ago, we take heart in the great work that has been done since then to stop abortion and stand for the sanctity of each and every human life. The work has been made possible by people like Norma McCorvey, who was the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, but is now a part of the pro-life cause and supports making abortion illegal.
It will take Americans from all walks of life coming together to make sure this horrendous practice is no longer a commonality in or society. This is not simply a religious issue, this is a humanity issue. We can not sit idly by why the most liberal in this country allow children to have their lives taken from them. We must stand up for the voiceless and continue the work that has begun.
Today I signed the Club for Growth's pledge "to sponsor and support legislation to repeal any federal health care takeover passed in 2010, and replace it with real reforms that lower health care costs without growing government."
It is imperative that we stop the passage of a government takeover of health care. However, if this legislation does pass, we must repeal it when we take back Congress in November. So I am writing today to encourage you to sign the citizen pledge in order that your voice may be heard so we can fight this takeover together – and repeal the legislation if necessary.
We need true health care reform; this means allowing the purchase of health care insurance across state lines in order to create more competition within the market, permitting individual Americans to create Health Savings Accounts, and bringing about tort reform in order to lower medical costs. Please join with me and sign the pledge, because together we can win this fight.
To learn more, please go to: www.chuckforcongress.com
The President promised on 8 different occassions to have the health care negotiations broadcast on C-SPAN, and now that push has come to shove he isn't actually interested in following through on those promises. Once again he has proven that he is only interested in talking about change. He just doesn't get it.
We can't count on the media to hold him accountable, and that is why I need your help in sending me to Congress so I can bring conservatism, true reform, and accountability to Washington.
For more information, please visit: www.chuckforcongress.com
It is important we slow down this time of year and remember the true meaning of Christmas.

On July 5, one day after millions of Americans celebrated a holiday that symbolizes freedom, Major Jiminez and Beau Chandler took a bold stand for equality. They walked to a marriage counter in Dallas, Texas, requested a marriage license that they were denied, handcuffed themselves together, and sat down. They were arrested and, on August 2, they will face 180 days in jail or $2000 bond. Their crime? Demanding their government to treat them equally under the law.
Tomorrow, we will celebrate yet another historical milestone, On July 28, 1868, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution went into effect, guaranteeing equal protection under the law to every American. Major and Beau showed clearly that our country has not lived up to that promise for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans. In fact, they feel so strongly about this unfulfilled promise that they wanted to share their story with you!
Watch Major and Beau tell their story, and sign the pledge for full equality here: www.getequal.org/pledge
This is why we are launching a new campaign — "Fight for the 14th." For decades, we've called on Congress and the White House to make good on the promises of the 14th Amendment and, year after year, our community has been turned away. Now it's time to go to the American people — to do the grassroots organizing work that will create a movement for full LGBT equality and force those in power to concede.
Major and Beau took a bold stand for people like me who had to recently travel thousands of miles to another state to marry the love of my life because my state has a ban on marriage equality. Around the country, millions of LGBT families are denied recognition under the law, youth are driven to suicide because of bullying, LGBT immigrants are deported because their spouses can't sponsor them, workers are fired due to their sexuality or gender identity, and people are denied housing simply because of who they are.
Fight for the 14th by signing the pledge for full equality here: www.getequal.org/pledge
It's time for us to demand full LGBT equality under the law. It's time for every one of us to follow in the footsteps of Major and Beau, and the many others before them. For too long, the 14th Amendment has remained an unfulfilled promise for LGBT Americans — it's time to fight for the 14th!
Hasta la victoria!
Felipe Matos, National Field Director
