NEW YORK (AP) - The stock market is getting off to a strong start after two days of losses.
Markets have become more volatile in the past two weeks as global central banks prepare to ease back on their economic stimulus policies.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 57 points at 15,180 in the early minutes of trading Wednesday, a gain of 0.4 percent. The Dow lost 116 points the day before after a choppy day of trading.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose seven points to 1,633, a gain of 0.5 percent. The Nasdaq composite rose 12 points to 3,449, an increase of 0.4 percent.
Cooper Tire & Rubber jumped $10, or 41 percent, to $34.62 after Apollo Tyres of India agreed to buy the company for $2.2 billion.

Furniture Design
Here's a rather interesting piece of highly specific transforming furniture: The Human Hoist, which is designed to go from rolling chair to floor-level mechanic's creeper. Your average consumer will have no use for it, but for a grease monkey with no hydraulic lift, it provides a quick way to get from under the car to the toolchest and back again. Check it out (and lower your speakers if you're at work, annoying soundtrack ahead):
There's no word on what the thing would cost, as it's currently just a prototype. Whoever's behind the product has announced they're "actively looking for potential investment and/or [a] manufacturer to produce The Human Hoist," but their website has absolutely no useful information.

Ben Ellwood All My Zingers!
Review by Chris Menezies
I was sceptical at first, "a spinning wheel of stand-up?" I thought. "surely that cant work." But my god does Ben Ellwood deliver.
I had a great time at Ellwood's show. Its somewhat loose feel and unique element of the spinning wheel was so refreshing after seeing so many hours of stand-up. The wheel spins and what ever number it lands on matches with a subject written on the wall. Ellwood must have over three hours of material for this show, the show only goes for an hour and we covered 6 of the forty topics on the board.
While the hour wasn't a flawless one, it was real, it was brilliant, and I enjoyed it immensely. I would recommend this to any comedy fan.

8 Responses to "Kelly Emberg"-
I remember Kelly..seeing alot of her pics above. Another beauty and I had forgotten about her dating Rod and having a child with him.
She looked so fit that my friends and I used to have a pic of hers in front of the mirror so we would not skip any work out. She was an inspiration.
She had a great body. -
I was always so impressed by her ability to look classy, but not snobby. I saw her in Vogue when I was about 14 and she was wearing a pair of Jodhpurs and for years after they went out of style, I still wanted a pair! (Heck, I'd probably snag a pair if I saw them TODAY–ha!) She always looked beautiful whether she was in a magazine or caught on the street by the dreaded pap-zis. I wish there were some recent photos of her (so I could see how well she has "aged" and, I'm sure, be very jealous!). It sounds like she has been blessed to have a comfortable private life now. She deserves that!
what can u say about Kelly Emberg not only has she graced numerous magazine overs throughout the years but she has been on loads of magazine .pictorial issue and on the covers just tak alook at above and one can tell why. She was also marrired to roccker Rod Stewart. She has a timeluy elegance about her. Just look at the wonderdul images above
Hi Eva, what an amazing site you got here. I'm glad you figured it out Remember me? I sent you some pictures, I'm a huge fan of you, Gia and Juli Foster, we exchanged several emails.
I have TONS more stuff I would love to donate to this amazing site, and more wonderful models, like Kim Charlton, Eva Johansonn ( I remember I sent you the wrong pic), Lisa Vale, ETC, please feel free to contact me!

If there is one thing that cannot be overstated about Hamilton College, it is the overwhelming generosity of the professors. The 9:1 student faculty ratio encourages an easy and free communication between teachers and students, a characteristic that should not be underestimated. Being a professor at Hamilton is no small deal, and you can be assured that most every teacher is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject he or she teaches. Professors deserve their positions, but this never makes them unapproachable.
Indeed, the expertise of Hamilton professors makes encouraging interested students one of the greatest joys of being here. I do not presume to speak for any one specific professor, but I can tell that they all revel in the one-on-one relationships that they are able to build with students. I recently had an informal meeting with my professor of poetry, Jane Springer, and I came away quite inspired, feeling like I had effectively communicated with someone whose opinion on poetry I admire a lot. In truth, these moments feel like an integral part of my education, one I feel like I would be without at a larger school.
Recently, Lucy Ferris, author of the new book The Lost Daughter, came to visit campus. She is one of the many esteemed writers who have come to campus this semester. She took the reigns in my Study of the Novel class, and we discussed publishing and her experiences as a writer and educator (which included a stint as professor of creative writing at Hamilton back in the 90s). One student asked her what her impressions of Hamilton were, and she responded with a particularly interesting point. She said that the community here is more close-knit than what you would find at any large school, and is ever more "communal" than other small schools that are next to larger college towns. Because Clinton is such a small town, the professors do not simply disappear after 5 o'clock. They are a regular sight on the Hill and are easy to reach. This point was well taken and furthered my appreciation of the kind of community that Hamilton fosters so well. It truly is one of a kind.

Advisor Name Title Prof M Nzewi Keywords
- compositional techniques
- functions
- meaning and intention.
- transcription and translation
- opening and closing-formulas

Date 2006-04-25 Availability unrestricted Abstract This study focused on the functions of Igoru music in Okpe land. It also examined the compositional techniques of the music typology. The primary source for data collection was oral interview. Secondary sources include publications, and records. Unstructured research questions formed basis for the study. The texts of eighty seven (87) songs were transcribed and translated for this study. Fifty songs from this sample were further transcribed in staff notation, for analysis and discussion. At the end of the study, the following findings were made:
- Igoru musicians, in their foresight, investigate, evaluate, probe, counsel, warn, and foretell future events in Okpe, to avoid painful experiences, since in traditional Okpe society, life experiences are shared.
- Most of the themes in Igoru music are derived from the sense of realism than idealism. The songs being quite topical had to be realistic than idealistic in tendency. Various sound and speech elements are put together to make communication effective.
- Igoru music praises and commends deserving members, in order to encourage those who are doing well in the society to continue in their good deeds, as well as stimulate others to emulate them.
- The musicians defend their political system, their territorial land mass, traditional religion and themselves from various attacks.
- Igoru music represents the Okpe identity, thus it was selected amongst other music typologies of the culture to represent it, both in social and political-oriented activities in Lagos and elsewhere.
- Igoru music uses the hexatonic scale system. Almost all the songs were found to be composed in compound quadruple metre. The performers involve in two-part polyphonic singing. Consecutive parallel 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths are prevalent and melodic cadences resolve upwards than downwards. Shifts of tonal centre (key), according to the convenience of performers, as well as recycling of themes are also common features.

Arthur Goldman may get a bit of redemption after all.
You remember Goldman: He's the Chester County attorney who was accused of bootlegging after he had rare fine wines shipped to his home from out of state — in violation of Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board rules — and selling some bottles to friends. Authorities say the nearly 2,500 bottles of wine seized from Goldman will be destroyed, per state law.
Now there's a move afoot in the Pennsylvania House to decriminalize the importation of liquor and spirits from across state lines.

Any recommendation for a single portable induction burner? which one is good? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have this max burton. Bought it on amazon in 2010 expecting to use it for a few months during remodel. Remodel is still not done and this has been the main cooking stove for family of 4 where we cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. I liked induction cooking so much that I changed my plans for a high BTU gas stove for my new kitchen and am doing induction. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Max burton single induction
We bought a reconditioned Viking unit a few years ago to use during our remodel and have been extremely pleased with it. Sadly, the remodel is still on-going (a DIY one!), but the Viking is still going strong. |
You do know that you can search for prior posts? A couple of tips. First, use the search box at the bottom of the page. For reasons I've never understood, it has always worked better for me than the one at the top of the page. For your search terms, try "portable induction" "countertop induction" and "max burton." A second thing: try those searches with google and add "gardenweb" to the search terms (e.g., "gardenweb + max burton"). You will find at least a dozen threads here where portable/countertop units are discussed, sometimes as the main topic and sometimes in the course of other discussions. Also, try searching the chowhound site. I recall at least three long discussions of portable unit, one of which was a very detailed discussion that started with somebody who wanted to use a MB unit for sous vide cooking and found limitations. Here's are links to a couple of the chowhound discussions: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/761432 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/832571 |

10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. | 10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. |
11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, | 11 Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. |
12 saying, "I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE." | 12 He says, "I will declare your name to my brothers; in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises." |
13 And again, "I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM." And again, "BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME." | 13 And again, "I will put my trust in him." And again he says, "Here am I, and the children God has given me." |
14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, | 14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil-- |
15 and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. | 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. |
16 For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham. | 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. |
17 Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. | 17 For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. |
18 For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted. | 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. |

I'm impressed. As hard as corn is in FL, I'd need about 60 acres planted to get what's in your photo. :) |
You did good, Doc!!! |
- Posted by gardencraze 9b winter garden FL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Sep 29, 12 at 9:14
Doc, I'm sick of loosing my corn... can you help me. LOL I planted some and it never grew above 2 ft, loads of corn that were about 2 in long. I'm in groveland. Thanx for sharing Carmen |
Well, sweet corn can be difficult here, but in Zellwood they have huge fields so it is possible to grow it! Here are the things I would tell anyone here that wants to try to grow it. All are equally important I think. 1. Spinosad. I buy it as fertilome brand Borer, Bagworm, Tent Caterpillar Spray. This needs to be applied regularly and reapplied if it rains or you run overhead sprinklers. If you don't use it army worms will devastate your plants in no time. Someone on here told me about its use with corn. It is organic. Thanks again to the person that told me about it! 2. Nitrogen. Corn needs extra nitrogen to grow tall. Our so called soil does not hold nutrients well. While I usually use organic fertilizers, for corn I use a bit of 10-10-10 granular fertilizer added to the soil at planting time and Miracle Grow to water once per week. 3. Water. Corn needs plenty of water to grow well. I plant in "hills" of three plants max with hills 3 or 4 feet apart. I water twice per day in morning and evening if it doesn't rain. 4. Pollination. To get those full ears of kernels you need good pollination. While corn is wind pollinated, I shake the stalks in the morning around 8:30 or 9:00 to scatter pollen when tassels and silks appear. You will see tons of pollen come off the tassels in a cloud. Try to make sure it lands on the silks. Hope that helps. Otherwise there is always Publix ; ) |
Nice job doc, corn is sure a labor of love here.... Tom |
- Posted by gardencraze 9b winter garden FL (email@example.com) on Sun, Sep 30, 12 at 20:56
thank you doc, that is good advice Carmen |
- Posted by RetiredFlorida 9 (email@example.com) on Mon, Oct 1, 12 at 17:38
Beautiful! I really appreciate the effort that it took to get those. I couldn't even grow seedlings here. The rabbits ate them as soon as they sprouted. My sister in law next door had terrible time with squirrels. How did you keep the squirrels away? Darren |
Oh yes the squirrels are a problem for sure. First I tried this guy: Ya, that didn't work even though I moved him around. He did freak out our dog and both of our cats though. Then I tried bird netting surrounding the plants. You would think squirrels would be afraid of getting tangled up in that stuff. Not so. Then I sprayed the ears with powdered dry habanero pepper powder in a little water and dish washing soap. Then I stepped it up and melted some petroleum jelly and mixed tons of habanero powder in that and spread that on the ears. Truly eye watering stuff. I think squirrels may actually like habanero, because that did not stop them from stripping the ears either. Then came the pellet rifle. Remind me to sight that thing in again because I failed to nail a single one. I ended up harvesting before the squirrels got it all. Next time I think I will just break out the electric fence I used in PA. But did I mention Publix? |
- Posted by RetiredFlorida 9 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Oct 1, 12 at 21:07
Too funny. Squirrels are so darn clever. Publix is for those who can't, such as myself, hahaha! I applaud your resourcefulness! The squirrels have a tough hide and if you hit their hide with that pellet, they'll stay away........for a short time. I love wildlife but remember as a child they used to hog our bird feeders (up north) and literally sit in them, preventing the birds from getting feed. We'd let them eat a little while and then sting them to get em to leave. Makes you wonder how farmers ever break even, eh? Bet that was some sweet tasting corn. Darren |

There's a certain intimacy in sharing a meal with a loved one. Unfortunately, the time spent together is more likely than not obstructed by modern-day distractions at some point (I'm looking at you, iPhone). There are all kinds of designs out there focusing on pulling people together and helping them appreciate the moment they're in—just take a look at First Date Cutlery. (And while most of these interaction designs blend right into the dining experience, some stick out like a super-stacked fork.) Michigan-based designer Sophia Thomas has created a subtle way to embody those dear moments with friends over a meal with her ongoing series, "Encoded Intonation."
The series is certainly abstract, in concept and product. My favorite installment, "Encoded Intonation III," features more material association to sound as plates and knives sporting a "soundwaved" edge from recordings straight from the mouths of the designer's most frequent dinner companions.
Some of the best parts of her work are hidden between the lines—and Thomas describes them eloquently: "[This project] layers the encoded intimacy of sharing a meal, sharing a thought, and the surfaces that catalyze such interactions. Conversation is of particular interest, speech begins from the body as compressions and expansion within, disrupting particles in the air, surrounding us to be registered by the smallest bones."
More on the process: Thomas takes the sound recordings and creates digital 3D data sets. By choosing specific points within the data set, she creates a representation of the sound curve over time. "I design a two-part mold using the original plate model to slip cast with," she says. "These molds are CNC machined from plaster blanks I cast."
While this project grabbed my attention first, Sophia's other work is definitely worth a look—especially if you're looking to check out something more than just a pretty product. Her designs mostly revolve around some association with sound, but there's one project that takes a look at our dependence on the "transportability of data." You can also check out Thomas' work on Coroflot.

One of my favorite memories from my 2010 Senate campaign was our "Cheddarbomb." Thousands of grassroots supporters all donated to my campaign on the same day to show that we're sick of the corporate money flooding Washington.This year, we have an amazing progressive running for Senate in Wisconsin, and she's not afraid to challenge the influence of corporate money.Today my friend Tammy Baldwin is holding Cheddarbomb 2.0, and she needs our help. She's leading in the polls, but the general election starts today, and she's facing former governor Tommy Thompson, who won last night's Republican primary after spending the last seven years peddling his influence to big corporations in Washington, D.C.Thompson and his out-of-state corporate backers have already targeted Tammy with hundreds of thousands of dollars in negative ads, and there are lots more coming. So Tammy needs our help to keep her lead and win in November. Will you join thousands of progressives nationwide in contributing to Cheddarbomb 2.0 today?

Sounding like he wants to boost Walker's agenda scared the piss out of me and turned me far away from voting for him.

Former Gov. Tommy Thompson used to be pretty open about his finances. When he was governor of Wisconsin for the better part of 14 years, and during his four years as George W. Bush's secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, he often complained about not making enough money.And he regularly released his tax returns.When he left Bush's Cabinet, he bluntly declared that he was going to "make some money."And he did. Millions and millions of dollars.But now, as he competes with Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin to see who will replace U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, he says he won't release his tax returns.

Neither has the courage, or maybe the word is option, to stand-up to the Tea Party. Governing on basis of compromise is now verbotten in Republican Party. The Republicans can and will change - but that is not in sight.Thompson is going to vote with the party on 100% of the critical votes, no question about that, because this it is how Washington works today.It is sad that the Democrats had no candidate available other than the admirable but unelectable Tammy Baldwin. Dems are out of touch with the people. The constant harkening back to Russ Feingold to be the savior shows just how thin the Democratic bench truly is. WI is transforming from purple to red.

With their Republican opponent set in the U.S. Senate race, Democrats have wasted little time going after Tommy Thompson and his refusal to release his tax records.Tammy Baldwin released 10 years of tax returns in May, and the Democratic candidate has called on Thompson to do the same. But Thompson has emphatically refused, with his campaign saying he would only release them after he's elected.

I'm just going to come out and say it, the way people do in addiction meetings when they have hit "rock bottom." Hi, my name is Meagan. I was a very uncooperative diabetic for a great many years. I felt lonely, and I hated being different. I rarely checked my blood sugars. In fact, there were times where I didn't even know where my meter was.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Host Derek Coward talks in depth about the comic books on his wishlist from the upcoming DC Reboot and spends the last few minutes of the podcast talking about the titles and characters he is surprised aren't part of the reboot.
According to Bleeding Cool (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/12/21/dc-comics-to-publish-marshal-law/) and creator Pat Mills, DC Comics is interested in reprinting Marshall Law. I am a long time fan of the book and would love to see it come back. I just hope a DC revival would mean that a lot of the non Epic stuff also gets reprinted. While I have most of the Epic, Apocalypse and Dark Horse printed stuff, I lost track of the character after Marshall Law: Secret Tribunal and had no idea he was printed by Cool Beanz, Image, or Titan Comics. There was also apparently a Marshall Law Omnibus printed by Top Shelf that came out in 2010. I need to find it.
There is also a really cool recap of the character's history done by Josh over at Comic Attack.net.
This war is moving at an alarmingly fast pace, which is appropriate for a 100 minute war but a little surprising when compared with today's "stretch everything out as long as humanly possible" style of storytelling. Comic books, movies and TV shows seem to take longer to get to the point. More has happened in the first three issues of this miniseries than in some other entire recent event minis that concentrated on an alien invasion and war. I really need to go back and read how the story got to this point. Villains are bad, heroes are good, bystanders are innocent and the story ends on a cliffhanger that GUARANTEES I will be back next week (barring catastrophic injury or death).
Recommended even if you haven't read the previous issues. Absolutely a must if you have and were thinking about dropping it.
This was HUGE week for me. Not only did a bunch of books that I was looking for finally come in, but I also went to TWO shops this week and went a little crazy in the dollar bin of one of them.
New This Week:
True Story Swear To God 12 (Image Comics) – I already read and reviewed this issue. Short answer: get it now (unless you have no love in your heart, then just stick with Blackest Night/Siege).
Girl Comics 1 of 3(Marvel Comics) – Again read and reviewed. Again I recommend you pick it up.
The Great Ten 5 of 10 (DC Comics) – I still think this is the best book coming out from DC and I can't wait to get the time to read it.
The Sword 22 (Image Comics) – This title is coming to an end soon and I will miss it.
Kevin Smith's Green Hornet 1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – I'm looking forward to the entire sub-line of Green Hornet books.
First Wave 1 of 6 (DC Comics) – This is the only book I am not completely sold on, but I think this might surprise me.
Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep 9 (BOOM! Studios) – Still a good title and I look forward to it every month.
Age of Bronze: Betrayal Part One TPB (Image Comics) – I decided last week to switch from single issues to trades for this title.
Siege 2 of 4 (Marvel Comics) – I finally found a copy and I'm looking forward to The Sentry vs Ares.
Starman 81 (DC Comics) – Why not, I have a vast majority of the rest of the issues. I might be missing two or three. Maybe as many as six.
Nexus: Space Opera 101/102 (Rude Dude Productions) – I had not idea this even came out, which sucks because I have looking forward to each issue and I doubt there will be any others.
Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys (Viz Media) – I wanted to get Pluto Vol 1, but since they didn't have it, I picked this up and special ordered Pluto. I want to go on record as saying that I am picking Pluto up on the recommendation of Ryan King, so if I don't like it, I will blame him. Just kidding, I will blame Vince B.
From The Dollar Bin:
Prophet 5 and 6 (Image Comics) – The only issue of Prophet I have is 7, so it will be nice to see how we got to that point.
Incredible Herc 116/119/120/121 (Marvel Comics) – I have never read a single issue of Incredible Herc, but I heard a lot of good things about it.
War of Kings 2 of 6 (Marvel Comics) – I read the first issue and nothing after that, but I liked it and I want to check it out for a dollar.
Dazzler 26 (Marvel Comics) – I have never read an issue of Dazzler, but this one is the beginning of "The Startling Secret of Dazzler's Sister." Plus, there were a LOT of issues of Dazzler in the dollar bin.
Final Crisis 4 of 7 (DC Comics) – I stopped buying after issue 3, but a dollar, why not?
Justice League of America Vol 1 37 (DC Comics) – The cover is torn, but for some reason, I don't think I have ever read this issue.
Tales of The Teen Titans 81 (DC Comics) – I got this because the creative team is Marv Wolfman, John Byrne and Jose Luis Garcia Lopez. Hall of Famer Creators FTW!!!
Imperial Guard 2 (Marvel Comics) – This has a cover date of Feb 97, but I had no idea this title even existed until I saw it for a dollar.
Fantastic Four 557 (Marvel Comics) – I missed the entire Millar/Hitch/Currie run, so when I saw it so cheaply, I thought I would check it out.
Bullet Points 1 or 5 (Marvel Comics) – I have no idea what this is about, but Tommie Lee Edwards drawing the original gray Iron Man. C'mon.
Give Me Liberty 3 (Dark Horse Comics) – Once again, never read any of the Martha Washington stuff, so why not for a dollar (notice a trend?)
Plus, even though I need about three or four long boxes, I picked up one.

Fernando Torres had plenty to say about his team's dramatic 3-2 victory over Shakhtar Donesk.
The Spanish international acknowledged that his team flies on the wings of luck more often than it should.
"I'm happy with the result but we know we must do much better. We know we have to improve. We have been creating problems for them, pressing and creating chances from their mistakes, but not when we have the ball like we're used to."
It's a little ironic that a side gifted with considerable talent and greater depth than last season still has to rely on chance to win games. Particularly when that talent includes millions spent to solidify a midfield trio of Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and Oscar. With Chelsea's summer transfer strategy, good fortune should have nothing to do with Chelsea's success.
Luck became synonymous with Chelsea as of last season, or at least it characterized some of its matches since Roberto Di Matteo (could he be their good luck charm?) took over last March. A few of the club's most crucial wins involved the 'Miracle factor'. There was Chelsea's Champions League victory inside the Allianz Arena versus home side Bayern Munich last season. Then there was the UEFA CL semi-final against Spanish powerhouse Barcelona. Reduced to 10 men, The Blues somehow managed to hold off Barca and stage a comeback after trailing by two goals.
Unable to explain the events that unfolded, the media just couldn't resist and joined the supernatural chorus. Liverpool's 2005 miracle of Istanbul, hailed by some as the greatest comeback in Champions League history, was now replaced by Chelsea's enigmatic finish.
Wednesday's win wasn't any different (just read today's headlines to describe the victory and you'll find references to divine interventions, miracles and luck) which makes Torres's remarks all the more significant. Torres understands that his side needs to draw on its expertise and creativity. Triumphs are more valuable and consistent when measured on the basis of the known rather than left to some higher power.
While Chelsea showed short flashes of brilliance yesterday, they were outplayed and outfought for most of the match. It wasn't until the 94th minute when Victor Moses's header gave Chelsea a 3-2 lead and sealed the win.
Perhaps, Torres is on to something when he told media:
"We were a bit lucky – I think maybe the draw was the more fair result – but Chelsea has this special thing that no-one can buy."
There are certain things Roman Abramovich's billions can buy, for everything else there's luck.

FOXBORO — There all different types of yards in football: rushing yards, passing yards, yards after contact, yards after catch.
On Sunday, Julian Edelman put on a clinic in all-purpose yards.
It's a catchall statistic for the varied contributions of the football renaissance man, and Edelman articulated the potential of that position to the fullest in New England's 59-24 win over the Colts.
The occasionally forgotten receiver — those occasions include the last six weeks, by the way — racked up 222 all-purpose yards as a runner, receiver and returner. It was the most by a Patriot this season and most by Edelman in his career.
"I had some opportunities to make some plays and was fortunate it went my way today," Edelman said. "It was a good team win."
He contributed perhaps the most important play of the game in the second quarter, returning Pat McAfee's punt 68 yards for a touchdown that tied the game and reversed the early momentum. The return — the third return touchdown of Edelman's career — tied the game at 14. The Patriots wouldn't trail again.
"We've been working real hard as a unit to get that done and create an explosion play as a punt-return unit," Edelman said. "All our guys did a good job, held up their blocks. I did my job from there."
"It was a perfect storm of all the bad things that could have happened on that play," McAfee said.
Earlier, Edelman kick-started the Patriots' first drive of the game with an 18-yard reception on third-and-6. He finished off a third-quarter drive with a 2-yard touchdown catch on a slant pattern, pushing the New England advantage to two scores for the first time.
In the fourth, Edelman just started showing off. He went 47 yards on an end-around for the Pats' longest rush of the season. He added a 49-yard punt return in the final minutes to set up another score.
Edelman hadn't been called on to do much since missing three games earlier this season with a hand injury. In three games back entering Sunday, he had just three catches for 15 yards.
Sunday, there appeared to be a more concerted effort to get Edelman involved. He had the third-down catch on the first drive, and two slip screens went his way on New England's second possession.
He finished the day with five catches for 58 yards — his best day receiving since the 2010 season finale versus Miami. (That game also included a punt return for touchdown.)
"He's really worked hard to do everything to get back — the return game, passing game, slip screens, blocking," said Belichick. "He had obviously a real productive day. We needed that."
"Julian has been dying to get out there and make plays, and he certainly did today," Brady said.
Sunday served as a reminder of the remarkable diversity of Edelman's game. This is a guy who played quarterback in college at Kent State and saw significant playing time as a slot cornerback opposite Anquan Boldin in last year's AFC Championship game. He even punted nine times as a collegian.
"I just do what the coaches tell me to do," Edelman said, his words Sunday matching his actions over the course of his career. "I try to execute any situation they put me in. That's my job, to do what the coaches ask me to do and help to contribute any way I can."
"He is what he is. He's a good little football player," Indianapolis interim head coach Bruce Arians said. "He has a nice role on their team."
It's a role likely to expand in the coming weeks. New England's release of Deion Branch opens up the third-receiver spot for Edelman, and the injury to Rob Gronkowski — who is feared to be out four to six weeks with a broken forearm — creates a greater need for extra receivers. Even on Sunday, Edelman was on the field about as much as typical starting wideout Brandon Lloyd.

^ Agreed. My other complaint about the skin is in the concept art the pants look green and in game they're brown. There's only a small area where you can tell they are actually brown. Imo it would be better in green giving it a bit of color.

The Webster Bible (WBT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Wherefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil-speakings, | 1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. |
2 As new-born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: | 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, |
3 If indeed ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious. | 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. |
4 To whom coming [as to] a living stone, disallowed indeed by men, but chosen by God, [and] precious, | 4 As you come to him, the living Stone--rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him-- |
5 Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. | 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. |
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. | 6 For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." |

The village of Lovea located on the mound was established in pre-Khmer times, probably before 500 A.D. In the lower left portion of the image is a large trapeng and square moat. These are good examples of construction during the historical 9th to 14th Century A.D. Khmer period; construction that honored and protected earlier circular villages. This suggests a cultural and technical continuity between prehistoric circular villages and the immense urban site of Angkor. This connection is one of the significant finds generated by NASA's radar imaging of Angkor. It shows that the city of Angkor was a particularly Khmer construction. The temple forms and water management structures of Angkor were the result of pre-existing Khmer beliefs and methods of water management.
Image dimensions are approximately 6.3 by 4.7 kilometers (3.9 by 2.9 miles). North is at top. Image brightness is from the C-band (5.6 centimeters, or 2.2 inches wavelength) radar backscatter, which is a measure of how much energy the surface reflects back toward the radar. Color is used to represent elevation contours. One cycle of color represents 20 meters (65.6 feet) of elevation change; that is, going from blue to red to yellow to green and back to blue again corresponds to 20 meters (65.6 feet) of elevation change.
AIRSAR flies aboard a NASA DC-8 based at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif. In the TOPSAR mode, AIRSAR collects radar interferometry data from two spatially separated antennas (2.6 meters, or 8.5 feet). Information from the two antennas is used to form radar backscatter imagery and to generate highly accurate elevation data. Built, operated and managed by JPL, AIRSAR is part of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise program. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Will Joan Jett Perform With Nirvana At Rock Hall Induction?
Thursday, April 10, 2014
The last remaining mystery surrounding Thursday night's (April 10th) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony has been whether the surviving members of Nirvana would perform and who they would perform with. A clue emerged on Wednesday (April 9th) when a photo posted on at the Nirvana Facebook page showed Dave Grohl's drum kit, Krist Novoselic's bass, Pat Smear's guitar and what appears to be a guitar belonging to Joan Jett.
Dave Grohl and Jett have some history together, with Grohl and his Foo Fighters bandmates performing with her on a segment of Late Show With David Letterman a while back.
R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe will induct Nirvana at Thursday night's ceremony, which will take place at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, New York.
We asked Charles R. Cross, Nirvana's biographer, what late frontman Kurt Cobain might have thought about being inducted into the Hall of Fame: "Kurt won awards when he was alive, he won MTV Music Awards, he did go to those ceremonies, he did give speeches. You know, at the same time, it was an uncomfortable relationship for Kurt. So my feeling is, he would have been honored to have been included with so many legends that he loved, and he was a student of rock history, so to be there I think he would have appreciated. At the same time, I think he would have managed to say the most sarcastic things possible as he was accepting that award." marked the 20th anniversary of Cobain's death by self-inflicted gunshot wound.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Gavin!
Facts about Gavin
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Gavin's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
If you are looking for your new BFF, then I'd like to introduce to Gavin. He is the most loving, sweetest cat I have seen in a very long time. All he wants is to be with you, near you, petted by you and be your new BFF. He is a truly great cat and there are no negatives about him. None. He just GREAT!!
He's been tested for feline aids/leukemia and was neg/neg for both. He's been neutered, had his distemper shot and rabies shots, been wormed and has no fleas or ear mites. He is completely vetted and had copy medical records will accompany him on adoption day. So if you'd like a young boy, he's under a year old, who would be great with you, your kids, your grandk kids, then please consider Gavin. You won't be sorry!
You may obtain an online application by logging on to CatAdoptionRI.org or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. All of the cats and kittens are adopted out with Rhode Island State mandated proof of spay or neuter. In order to take your new cat or kitten home with you, there must be an approved application prior to adoption day. Application approval is usually within 24-48 hours. We, at CATS, are very proud of all of the cats and kittens that we help facilitate finding new forever homes, and work very hard to make sure they are happy, healthy and well socialized. All of the cats and kittens are fed only Royal Canin cat food. We are at the Providence Petco, located at 585 N. Main Street, Providence, RI every Sunday from 10 am to 3 pm and you are welcome to come by and see all the cats and kittens that are looking for new 'Forever Homes'. Hard copy medical records accompany each cat and kitten on adoption day as each cat or kitten is completely vetted prior to their adoption. The adoption donation is $150.00 each after an approved application. This is not a sale, but an adoption donation. The policy is that all of our cats and kittens will be adopted out spayed or neutered, tested for feline aids/leukemia, and have all age appropriate shots. There will not be any adoption of any cat or kitten that has not been spayed or neutered first. There will be no exceptions. This means that there is less out of pocket costs for people who adopt a cat or kitten from us and you will be in 100% COMPLIANCE WITH THE SPAY/NEUTER LAW TOO!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gavin, a Riverside Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Riverside, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Riverside.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Riverside already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Riverside breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Riverside paves the way for another one to be saved.

After a decision has been made to change a rule, one of the first questions a rulewriter should ask is, "Is this change substantive or nonsubstantive?"
A nonsubstantive change differs from a substantive change in the following ways:
- a nonsubstantive change is not published in the Utah State Bulletin;
- a nonsubstantive change is not subject to a comment period; and
- a nonsubstantive change does not make changes that affect the application or results of agency action.
Statute defines "substantive change" as a "change in a rule that affects the application or results of agency action" (see Subsection 63G-3-102(19)). A nonsubstantive change is usually something like a grammatical change, typographical correction, removal of redundant language, or similar changes.
For example:
- Removing redundant language (i.e., language that already exists elsewhere in the agency's rules or statute) is a nonsubstantive change.
- Correcting a subject-verb accord (singular subject but plural verb, for example) is a nonsubstantive change.
- Changing rule references, statutory references, or other legal references because of other changes in rules or statutes is a nonsubstantive change.
- Changing agency names can be a nonsubstantive change, especially if the change is simply making the rule consistent with a statutory change the Legislature has made.
Other changes that might seem nonsubstantive are not. Adding commas to what appears to be an itemized list would not necessarily be a nonsubstantive change. Here is a classic example:
The panda eats shoots and leaves.
This is a description of a large mammal's rather monotonous diet. Watch what happens to the meaning — the substance — of the sentence by the unfortunate introduction of commas where they shouldn't be:
The panda eats, shoots, and leaves.
Now the large mammal satisfies his hunger, engages in assault with a deadly weapon, and departs the scene of the crime. The key to determining whether a change is nonsubstantive is always to look at what you want to do, and then ask the question, "Does this affect the application or result of agency action?" It's not a question of how much text you add or remove; it's a question of what happens to the text's substantive meaning.
Remember: a change that reduces an obligation is substantive. Just because you're making it easier to comply, or reducing the time required to comply, does not change the fact that you are altering a substantive requirement. Notice and comment rulemaking is required for this type of change.
If you have a question as to whether a change is substantive or nonsubstantive, consult counsel and make certain counsel is aware of the statutory definition of "substantive change" (Subsection 63G-3-102(19)).

DHS News June 2012 | DHS News June 2012
On Friday, June 8, the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) held its 38th Annual Recognition Luncheon for the Senior Companion Program. The event, which took place this year at the Westin Convention Center, honors those individuals who have given their time to be senior companions, providing needed care and comfort to nearly 500 isolated older adults in Allegheny County.
The Senior Companion Program works to improve the quality of life for individuals and their caregivers by providing human interaction through weekly visitations. Senior companions can offer company and friendly conversation for older adults, while relieving some stress on family members.
"Senior companions provide a break to caregivers and loved ones, allowing them to run errands or just have an hour to themselves," said Mildred Morrison, AAA Administrator, in her address at the luncheon. "But just as importantly, through regular visits, the senior companion is that informed eye who is able to point out problems to family members and others."
Currently, there are just over 100 senior companions, covering all parts of the county. The annual luncheon is an opportunity to bring many of them together and thank them for their participation. In addition to recognizing years of service, the organization also presents a Senior Companion of the Year award. This year's honoree, Fred Hirosky, was praised for, among other things, the hand-written poetry that he often gives to the individuals he is visiting.
The Senior Companion program is currently looking for new volunteers. To learn more about it, contact John Miller, Project Coordinator for the Senior Companion Program, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or 412.350.4061.

Being wanted must be nice. Anthony Adams adores you, Nnamdi Asomugha.
Asomugha was jettisoned by the Eagles, because it turns out that giving a cornerback Darrelle Revis money (or at least Darrelle Revis' definition of Darrelle Revis money) isn't ideal when at times — most times, even — he's playing like, I dunno, Stanford Routt. But there are still many other times when Asomugha is sort of OK, and even some others when he's still quite good. Not great or excellent, but good.
Both the 49ers and Saints could use some more good in their respective defensive backfields, which is why they're reportedly the two teams bidding for Asomugha, according to Ian Rapoport.
The Rapsheet says that as far as Asomugha's future employment is concerned, it's down to those two NFL outposts, with the Saints quite understandably making the most aggressive push. New Orleans essentially needs anyone who can run kinda fast and jump real good. Those are the minimum qualifications to play for and upgrade a secondary that gave up an average of 292.6 passing yards per game this past season (31st), most of which came in disgusting chunk yardage form (they allowed 66 receptions of 20 yards or more).
The Saints already started their desperate secondary rebuild by adding Keenan Lewis to be the main shutdown guy, but slotting in Asomugha on the opposite side would be a nice little haul. If they're successful, Asomugha would then be placed in the ideal situation for where his career has currently spiraled to, one in which he's not asked to regularly line up against the opposition's fastest and most skilled receiver.
That's why the fit in San Francisco is a fine one too, as the Niners already have Carlos Rogers to do most of the heavy lifting. San Fran's lust for Asomugha is driven by both the desire to create that tandem, but also more broadly to reinforce the secondary after Dashon Goldson departed for Tampa Bay. He'd also be an upgrade over Tarell Brown and Chris Culliver.

Simple little black maxi dress! Cotton&spandex maxi dresses are extremely comfortable! It literally fits every curve of your body just perfectly. Its hard to look bad in a maxi because its so free flowing, and light but it covers your whole body practically. Today was a very laid back day, so this dress was perf for around the house and running errands! I through on the beautiful scarf to jazz it up a bit, this turned my all black dress into "summer appropriate". My shoes are just basic black sandals so I didn't put the picture up..

Okay, I'm not sure if this is the place to go for my problem, but does anyone have any idea why yellow jackets land on my wicker deck furniture? They seem to enjoy flying INTO it, not the cushions but the wicker itself. They fly between the woven bands and spend a lot of time "inside" that furniture.
I really worry that someone will get stung without seeing them. Should I spray the furniture? With what? What will keep them away and not be harmful to humans? Molie |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is this white wicker? I have noticed over the years that Yellow Jackets seem to be more attracted to white than any other color, at least if I am out in a white T Shirt they whiz around me more so than if I have on a darker color. |
Is it real wicker or the other man-made material? If real, then they are collecting material for their nest, I'd guess. Yellow jacket nests are made of a paper-like product, processed by the insects from all kinds of wood or paper sources. |
Kimmsr, it's natural rather than white, but it may have a finish of some kind of it. Rhizo... it's real wicker,not man-made, and seems to be unraveling in spots. Soooo, they're looking for nesting material.... now what do I do? I am afraid that any insecticide will be absorbed into the material and then into the people that sit on the chairs. How long do these critters nest? Are there any kinds of nontoxic materials/products that yellow jackets avoid? I ask because one thing I really enjoy after a long day is sitting in one of those chairs with a drink in my hand. Sad Molie, here. |
Ha, I sympathize with you! I love to sit outside with a book (and a drink) only to have paper wasps land on the pages to collect nesting material! You might try spraying your furniture with a clear coating of some kind (enamel, varnish, etc.) That's about the only thing that I can think of. I'd never suggest that you use a pesticide. |

I hadn't seen any yellow jackets so far this summer nor did I see many last year. I took a big cusion off of my couch.. I hadn't put anything on it yet.3 minutes past and I went back outside and they were all over it. It's white. Is there some kind of attraction? |

The great people of Turkey continued to treat me in a wonderful way in the South, just like in the North. But on the way from Ankara to the south and the border of Syria, what will always stay in my memory is the beautiful region of Cappadocia. I did a small detour to see this part, thanks to the tip of good friend Moulshri from Delhi (India). She sent me an e-mail some time ago and said you've gotta see this place – 'it supposedly is truly magic'. I can only agree. I visited two valleys in the southern part of the region, and skipped the touristic center in the north, but I can't imagine much more magic than those two valleys. Between high, steep walls of rock: a river and green lands for cultivation. On those rock faces, thousands of rock-hewn shelters and hundreds of churches. Some people still living in caves, although of course with electricity and what-what. Could it be more picturesque?
I'm now in Latakia, northwestern Syria, where I'm taking rest for a few days after having got some bad intestinal infection. I'll continue my way south towards Damascus soon, and from there also have seen enough of Syria to give you my view of the country. Until then, take care!
