Presenting 120 Sports' 2015 Millennials' Athlete Index Presenting 120 Sports' 2015 Millennials' Athlete Index Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More More Sports Viewers' guide to (lack of) UFC 151 It's fight week, or at least it was supposed to be. And if the entire mixed martial arts world had not come crashing down to an earthly wasteland last Thursday somewhere along the expanse of rugged terrain between Zuffa headquarters in Las Vegas and Greg Jackson's gym in Albuquerque, this would be the space devoted to "A Viewers' Guide to UFC 151."But there will be no UFC 151. The whole shebang -- the fights and the pay-per-view proceeds that go with them -- has vanished into the black hole of Dana White's bitterly brooding psyche. So at this point the best guidance we can offer habitual MMA viewers is to find something else to watch on Saturday night.In lieu of its scheduled 8 p.m. ET telecast of UFC 151 prelims, FX instead will offer Zombieland, which is not a documentary about Jon Jones' remaining fanbase but rather a 2009 vehicle for the comedic talents of Woody Harrelson.Prefer to stick with sports? Well, there's college football on ESPN. (I didn't check the TV listings for that, but once September begins it's always a safe guess for the 24/7 BCS network.)Or, if nothing but a fight will do, you can tune to HBO at 10 ET for a middleweight bout between a couple of European boxers you might never have heard of, even though one is a world champion. Gennady Golovkin, the 23-0 WBA belt holder with 20 knockouts and a 2004 Olympic silver medal, and Grzegorz Proksa, he of the 28-1 record and 21 KOs, might even provide enough rock-'em-sock-'em entertainment to make you forget all about what isn't taking place that night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Vegas.Nah, no one is going to forget. Or forgive, either, it appears. In the days since a torn knee ligament scuttled Dan Henderson's challenge for Jones' UFC light heavyweight championship, since "Bones" then declined to accept a replacement title bout against middleweight Chael Sonnen and since White then had a temper tantrum while calling off 151 in its entirety, the MMA community has for the most part turned against Jones with a relentless ferocity usually seen only inside the octagon.In fact, there's been so much electricity in the air that it's feeling like a fight week. So let's go ahead and treat it like one.0: Fans in whose good graces he remains, if you believe what you read in Internet comment pages. Actually, as time has passed since Thursday's high-voltage outrage, a slow trickle of support has come the champ's way -- not necessarily agreeing with his decision to decline the Sonnen fight, but at least understanding his perspective.0: Rematches he should expect to be granted by Dana White if he should happen to lose his belt.0: Percent chance that, even in the wake of not being a company guy above all else, and despite all of the Dana denouncements spat his way, he will be cut from the UFC roster.0: Events he'd canceled prior to last week in the 11 years since he and the Fertitta brothers took over the UFC.0: Percent of the blame he placed on himself, despite the fact that he and his people were the ones who put together a fight card that, other than the light heavyweight title defense, had nothing else even remotely marketable as a main event.0: Dollars earned from what was supposed to be a lucrative pay-per-view showcase of the company's biggest young star defending his belt against an ageless legend of the sport.What we should expect: Expect changes. We've already seen some come about organically, as the game has evolved in the 19 years since UFC 1. In the beginning, there was no such thing as training for an opponent. In those old-school one-night tournaments, you learned the identity of your next foe mere minutes before stepping into the cage with him. Game-planning? Ha!From those rough-and-tumble Wild West beginnings, the sport has transformed to the point where an athlete -- it's not sufficient to simply call a guy at the top "fighter" anymore -- now turns down a bout because nine days' notice might jeopardize his Nike endorsement deal. Jones' decision was scornfully derided as selfish. The scorn is misplaced, I'd suggest, but the assessment correct. This is a sport whose very structure calls on everyone to look out for No. 1. Jon Jones did it. Dan Henderson did it. Chael Sonnen did it. Dana White did it.If White wants to protect his company from a repeat of last week's fiasco, he's going to have to build safeguards into the structure of a fight card. Account for the possibility of last-minute opponent changes in fighter contracts. Maybe arrange for contingency bouts, with fighters contracted to be available on a standby basis, if needed. The sport is changing, at least for the athletes at the top of the food chain, and the fight promotion must change its ways, too.Another change we should expect from White: a change of heart. Dana is known to hold a grudge, as everyone from Tito Ortiz and Tim Sylvia to my SI.com predecessor Josh Gross and current colleague Loretta Hunt knows. But he's a businessman at heart, and he no doubt recognizes that Jon Jones is a cash cow he can and must continue to milk. Even if he can't stand the sight of his light heavyweight champ, he surely revels in the vista of the sea of green a Jones fight brings in. So if, as oddsmakers are expecting to happen at a 13-1 clip, Jones successfully defends his championship next month in Toronto, expect White to be smiling as he wraps the belt around the champ's waist.Why we should care: Whether losing a weekend in Vegas or merely a Saturday evening in front of the TV, a lot of fight fans feel cheated by the cancellation of UFC 151. Could it happen again? Sure it can, if Dana White and Co. neglect to fix what's broke. That's why I say the fans' scorn is misplaced. If the UFC maintains its current fight card structure, athletes will continue to be asked to either save or bury fight cards, placing the promotion's interests above their own. Wouldn't it be more sensible for the UFC to create safeguards to protect its own interests?"UFC 151 will be remembered as the event Jon Jones and Greg Jackson murdered."-- Dana White, as quoted in a UFC press release issued late Thursday afternoon. Yes, this was from an official company document, not some offhand remark blurted out at a fumingly unfiltered moment during the UFC president's media conference call earlier in the day. Jeez, we know Dana's management style is hard-headed, but to relentlessly assail one of your star performers seems like, as my grandmother used to say, cutting off your nose to spite your face."30 min to cement your legacy. Champ or Coward? I make a lot more than you do ... Show up in 8 days I'll give you my purse."-- Chael Sonnen on Twitter, trying to goad Jones into a fight ... while knowing full well at that point that the bout was not going to happen and that, even if it did, his purse check wasn't going anywhere but into his own bank account."And therefore those skilled in war bring the enemy to the field of battle and are not brought there by him."-- Sun Tzu, from The Art of War, as quoted on Twitter by Jon Jones, his first public response to the controversy. A great piece of wisdom, to be sure, but I thought Jones was unwise to toss around ancient Chinese philosophy at a time when a humble, personal statement of his own might have better suited the occasion. Instead of issuing what seemed to me a smug statement, "Bones" should have said something like what his trainer/guru did:"I didn't think [taking the fight] was the best thing to do on three days' notice -- we know that fight week doesn't count [as training time]. If Chael is the No. 1 contender, if he's earned that status, we'd be happy to fight him, and not Machida, in Toronto. It wasn't the opponent. It was the notice."-- Greg Jackson, giving his side of the story to SI.com's Loretta Hunt (before learning that Lyoto Machida had turned down the Sept. 22 title fight and Jones' UFC 152 defense will be against middleweight Vitor Belfort)."It's unbelievable to me that he wouldn't take that 'the show must go on' attitude. If there was any way I could have gone, and any way that I thought I could give myself a chance to compete, I would have done that."-- Dan Henderson, quoted in the UFC press release. It seems to me that "Hendo" was in no position to criticize. I'm not questioning his decision to pull out of the fight, but if he indeed was injured three weeks ago (as his Muay Thai coach, Daniel Wiorin, told Fighters Only magazine) but didn't inform the UFC until the middle of last week, he did the fight promotion a disservice. Had Henderson told White in a timely manner that he was working through a health issue, Dana might have been able to line up a contingency plan that would have saved 151."I just finish the call with my boss @lorenzofertitta and @danawhite. I want to thank both for put me in where a lot of guys are acting like divas. I think this is a big challenge for any fighter that is alive on the game. I thank God to provide me with this blessing to fight the youngest champion."-- Vitor Belfort, commenting on Twitter about the miracle of getting a light heavyweight title bout after having not competed in the weight class in five years."Carrying the cross for my company's decision. If someone has to take the blame, I will accept full responsibility for the way UFC 151 was canceled. I want to sincerely apologize to all the other athletes/fans who's time and money was wasted. I feel terrible about the way that was handled."-- Jon Jones in a series of tweets on Saturday. Note that the champ apologizes and takes responsibility for "the way UFC 151 was canceled," but does not second-guess his decision to decline the Sonnen bout. And perhaps his "carrying the cross" phrase is just an innocent figure of speech, but considering Jones' religious fervor and his upbringing as a preacher's son, it would seem to reveal a Messiah complex. By the way, if Jones and Belfort, both devout Christians, spend the next 25 days in prayerful supplication, does that pretty much cancel out any possibility of divine intervention in the UFC 152 main event?It's easy for fans and media members to get in a huff about Jones declining a fight on nine days' notice, because most of us haven't declined or accepted a fight since we were in grade school. And that decision of ours revolved around some doofus from history class, not a trained fighter.Condemnation of the champ also seems to have come easily for some undercard fighters, who may very well have taken fights on even shorter notice than Jones was confronted with. But none of them had the leverage "Bones" does -- when Dana White tells undercard to jump, they unquestioningly say "how high?" And none have had so much at stake ... unless I'm mistaken and there was a world champion moonlighting somewhere in the 151 prelims.My point: The only people in MMA who truly can grasp what Jones went through in making last week's consequential judgment call are the UFC's six other champions and perhaps those who've held one of the belts (if their reign came recently enough to be part of today's big-money, big-stakes landscape). Now, those champions tend to be careful in choosing their battles, so most have wisely steered clear of this controversy. But a few have commented."You have a whole camp preparing to fight a specific athlete," Anderson Silva, the middleweight champion, pound-for-pound king and a friend of Jones', said on the Brazilian TV show Domingao do Faustao. "When the opponent changes, the preparation changes a bit. I thought he could have fought Chael, but it's his decision. He prepared to fight Dan Henderson. The whole team thought it was best not to fight."Recently dethroned lightweight champ Frankie Edgar expressed much the same sentiment. "I'd like to say I would [take the fight]," he said on MMA Weekly Radio. "I don't know what my team would say, but ultimately I'm the one to make that decision. If I had a full camp to prepare, and this guy only had eight days, I think I would, but you don't know. I think it all depends on matchups and everything."The man who took the 155-pound belt from Edgar, Benson Henderson, has been the fighter most faithfully in Jones' corner. "So please quit disparaging my boy @jonnybones," he wrote in one of a series of tweets sent out shortly after news broke of the 151 cancellation. "It's easy to say you'd put it all on the line, but he actually has & does."Later, after the opponent for Jones' defense at UFC 152 was switched from Machida to Belfort, Henderson wrote, "I think Machida turning down fight that's couple months away should show you guys how much prep really matters."Name recognition: In the immediate aftermath of last Thursday's cancellation announcement, @jonjones became the target for a lot of online fan abuse. The problem is, the Twitter feed of the light heavyweight champ is @jonnybones. Who is @jonjones, then? He's a video game art producer in Austin, Texas, who last Thursday tweeted, "haha! The UFC fighter Jon Jones backed out of a fight and now I'm getting flooded with horrible, cruel insults because people think I'm him."As you might expect in this media feeding frenzy of a world we live in, the non-fighter Jon Jones (some would bitterly argue they're both non-fighters, but you know what I mean) has since done radio shows and been written about in media ranging from TMZ.com to, um, SI.com.A piece of the pie: I don't live within the delivery area of Mean Street Pizza in West Linn, Ore., so I don't know if owner Chael Sonnen was being serious with the new item he added to the menu last week: The Jon Jones Special Pizza. It's "loaded with chicken and full of cheese," says the flyer displayed on the pizzeria's Facebook page. Along with a mention of home delivery that takes a swipe at Jones' recent DUI conviction, the ad urges customers to "Hurry up! Get this deal now before our chicken runs out and we have to cancel."Questions? Comments?

Investment Grade Properties Post Largest Year Over Year Gain Since 2006
WASHINGTON, March 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
- CoStar's Investment Grade Index is up 10.6% versus the same period last year, even after starting 2011 on a slight decline, decreasing 1.1% for the first month of 2011.
- The Investment Grade pair count is up 54% over the year-ago level, a substantial increase.
- The increase in Investment Grade repeat sales transactions reflects trends in the broader market. CoStar tracked more than $211 billion in total sale transactions in 2010. This is a 79% increase over 2009 sales volume for all sales. While the market is clearly recovering, sales transaction volume still remains 63% below the market's recent peak volume level.
- CoStar's General Grade Index is down 11.3% versus the same period last year. It did however start 2011 on a slight up-note, increasing 0.4% for the first month of 2011. After being down for the past three months at 2.4% and down 11.3% for the past year, it seems the smaller property index may be seeing the specter of bottom for the first time in the past three years.
- The General Grade pair count is down 1% over the year-ago level. Pair counts will likely increase slightly as additional closings are recorded.
- The Composite Index, which is an equal weighted analysis of both the Investment Grade and General Grade indices and a reflection of the broad overall market, was flat the first month of 2011, down 2.6% for the past three months and down 6.6% for the past 12 months. In the Northeast, average pricing for Multifamily is up strongly with Industrial and Office pricing stabilizing.
The CoStar Commercial Repeat-Sale Indices (CCRSI) are the most comprehensive and accurate measures of commercial real estate prices in the United States. In addition to the national composite index, there are a total of 32 sub-indices in the CoStar index family. The sub-indices include breakdowns by property sector (office, industrial, retail, multifamily and land), by region of the country (Northeast, South, Midwest, West), by transaction size and quality (general commercial, investment grade), and by market size (composite index of the 10 largest metropolitan areas in the country). The CoStar national composite index is produced on a monthly basis.

Infanta Cristina and her Family to move to Washington
The Royal House announced today that Infanta Crisitina, her husband, Iñaki Urdangarín, and their four children will move at the end of the summer to Washington DC. The reason for the move is that Iñaki Urdangarín received a job offer by the Spanish company Telefónica Internacional which he accepted.
Today Hola Magazine has published some unconfirmed rumors: that the Royal couple will stay in Washington for almost two years, and probably the family will live in the Georgetown area. Also the magazine says that the Infanta's sons will attend the same school as the Obama daughters.
The Infanta and her family currently live in Barcelona, where Cristina works as Director of the Social Area of La Caixa Foundation. With their new residence far away from Spain, it is supposed that Infanta Cristina's official engagements will be delegated to other members of the Spanish Royal Family.

I think that the men who wear tights are probably very secure with themselves and most likely will not let some people dictate how one should dress. I am a straight male, married,, very happy. I love to wear opaque tights in public, no pants over them so it is very obvious what i am wearing. True sometimes i get some strange looks but i also get some positive remarks. I wear them because i love the way they feel, and i love to feel girly sometimes. So i am all for it, as long as you have the body type fo rit.
Having once been a man wearing pantyhose, I can relate! Keep it up, guys!
I'm a crossdresser also and love wearing pantyhose. I wear them ever day no matter how i'm dressed as a male or female. I love going shopping as a guy but wearing womens top, short shorts,pantyhose, and some type of womens shoes. When i'm at the mall I do get some funny looks but I don't care.When I go out fully dressed as a women I wear shorts skirts and high heels to show off my pantyhose encased leg. I think my legs look good after they have been shaven. I just love legs rapped in a good pair of pantyhose.
I say do what you want to do to bring you joy. Personally I think many cross-dressers look good in pantyhose...so go for it and enjoy it
Tights and pantyhose are really comftable to wear and practical for colder weather dosnt matter what gender you are. A large number of men wear them its just that they are to scared to admit it because of all the stigma that go's with it ;)
I think the are brave, but why not push the envelope further. I dress full time as a woman now and love it to death
I think you are a sissy... like me!
i'm a crossdresser, too, and love them. i have thigh-highs on right now, but love pantyhose and bodysuits, too.
As I am one, I think they are great!
I Also wear pantyhose a d I am male. I have been wearing them first in secret but now in the open I too want to know what women tho k because my wife thinks I am a pervert. They were inve Ted by a man and Tights were worn by men long before women
If they are conforatble wearing them as apparel, then why not.....

I'm not sure if you were referring to openly in public or not
as long as your not wearing my clothes we're good lol
I wouldn't associate with you, neither would I be offended by it. To each their own.
I think it's great! I wear panties because they feel better. And I wear tights & pantyhose because they feel awesome.

Keep wearing :)
oh dear
Don't care. If I was going to like you as a person, I'd still like you as a person. If I was going to dislike you as a person, I'd still dislike you as a person.
I think there is something wrong with you, but you are free to do what you feel you have to do. I can only think that you must some how wish that you were a woman and dressing like one gives you some satisfaction.
Because you are saying that you are a crossdresser and not that it is just that you like to wear these clothes. So to you it is more than a choice of clothing. It is a mental issue that you knowing are, "cross dressing" which is something out of the ordinary.
its ok iam not a CD men can wear them for any reason i think it should be a norm if they like them
am not a crossdresser but I do love wearing shiny pantyhose if a man wants to wear go for it they are warm on cold days they feel great on makes your legs look great and great support for the legs to us men have legs to after all allot of women wear boxer shorts we don't label them they wear what they like and get away with it a double standard is what it is

Does anyone know how long it takes the Hawaiian Prickly Poppy (Argemone glauca) to flower from seed? Also, how long it takes for seed heads to mature after flowering? Can this plant be grown in a temperate climate as an annual? Mahalo. |
Follow-Up Postings:
09-01-04 Quick info(based on experience): I have had plants flower before roughly about six month after germination. I have one plant that is about 14 inches tall (as of today) it began flowering a couple of weeks ago before it was 10 inches tall. Today its fourth flower opened completely. Some plants reach maturity and die in less than a year. More Information (this might be helpful): I would first like to say congratulations for aquiring seeds of Argemone glauca (pua kala). This plant is amazing! I don't know what you already know about A. glauca, but I'll tell you what I know. I have had plants that lasted less than 1 year, but reached maturity and produced many seeds. This set of plants were initially started off as seeds in moist vermiculite. I cannot clearly remember but the vermiculite may have been allowed to dry out a number of times (though this was not intended). A. glauca is most often described as a perrenial herb. It can be found near sea level in coastal strand areas. On the island of Kaho'olawe I have seen them growing in a flat area with square miles of exposed hardpan soil, plants in general were very scarce in this area. The place looked like Mars. It was quite suprising to see A. glauca sparsely scattered in that wasteland that was once a Hawai'ian forest, a home for feral goats, and a bomb testing site. A. glauca is known to be one of the first plant to grow on new lava flows. Its elevational range is 0-1,900m(6,232 ft). There are several different varieties and forms of this species. Some populations have nearly no thorns while others are covered in thorns. Growth habit may vary. It is possible that different populations have different life durations (annual, perrenial, biennial). Germination: Right now I have three plants planted in the ground. One of them is described earlier in this posting. One of them is less than 5in. tall with its largest leaf about 3in. long (no flowers). Leaf texture and color suggests that this plant is healthy is healthy. One is 13 inches tall with its largest leaf being about 5in. (no flowers, I consider this one the healthiest of the three). All were germinated at the same time. There is an odd story behind the germination of these plants. In early 2003 I collected seeds from wild plants growing no further than 40 yeards from the shore (at Makapu'u Beach Park, O'ahu). I put the seeds in a film cannester. I planted some in vermiculite that I kept moist. I eventually gave up on these. When I planted these seeds I had left the open film cannester outside. I forgot about this film cannester for a few months. The cannester must have been filled with rain at some points and it was exposed to full sun for a couple hours every day. I seen the cannester after it was forgotten for a while, mold was growing all over the seeds(the white fuzzy kind). I looked at the seeds as hopeless and tossed them (I can't remember how many seeds there are but I'm guessing about 20) in gravel with weed block underneath. I forgot about them again. Later I seen the distinct cotyledons of A. glauca growing in a little clump. I tried to plant as much as a could but only a few made it past being pulled out of the gravel. Now I have the three plants described. Priscilla Millen the Professor of Botany at Leeward Community College has attempted to scatter seeds in an area coveren in wood chips. One healthy plant (in flower) was all she could show at the time. I have scattered seeds before (intending to grow them) I have had only one plant grow by using this method. However, I watered this area regularly and did not forget about the seeds. Bruce Koebele and John Culliney (the authors of a book entitled "A Native Hawaiian Garden"): Good Luck!

Most of the Argemone spp. occur in north america. Argemone glauca may have evolved from a colonist from california that established itself in Hawai'i a couple thousand years ago. It is believed to have come to Hawaii shortly before the arrival of the polynesians (some authors say that the polynesians came to Hawaii at about 750A.D.). It is related to Argemone mexicana from South America. Hybrids between A. mexicana and A. glauca have been recorded. Some botanists have classified A. glauca as varieties of A. alba, or A. mexicana.

Aloha Cyanea! I don't have seeds for this beautiful plant. I've observed it many times on Maui, especially in the dry areas near Kaupo and a couple of Times along the walkway in Wailea. I've never caught them with ripe seeds or found them available anywhere. I thought I'd try them if I could locate some. |

Florida's state legislature has bucked Gov. Scott, and Florida will not be expanding medicaid.
But guess what (as Dennis Rodman would say) the Republicans there are now suggesting that a deal like Arkansas got would be swell.
The Arkansas deal will cost $3000 more per person to use private insurance rather than medicaid. The states don't mind, it is "free money" from the Feds.
The people who want to undermine Obamacare are dancing in the streets over the Arkansas boondoggle:
http://news.heartland.org/newspaper-art ... -expansion
As that blog makes clear, the right's strategy is to drive-up the cost of Obamacare by replacing medicaid with private insurance. Then they think congress will be forced to dial-back the subsidies, raise copays and deductibles. This (in theory) will lead to a more free market solution of self-reliant people.
Disaster. What was Obama thinking granting that waiver to AK? Didn't they see that every other redneck state would jump on it? The right's political plan is not ultimately going to work, but it certainly looks like they will be able to do tremendous harm to our health care system for years to come.

Smaller donations were made towards garden projects at the two local schools, to the WI and Guides. Thank you! Thank you to the hundreds of visitors who came to Ashton under Hill over the weekend of 7 and 8 June 2014 for our 37th annual Open Gardens weekend.

Missing My Husband Who Is In Prison!!
my name is sarah and my husband is in prison. we have a six month old baby girl named rowan. right now he is about 5 hours away in goldsboro. he will be gone a totoal of almost nine months, maybe longer. (possibly two years.) i miss him so much!! i never thought that i would be in this position. we had a child to raise together, not for me to raise her by myself. he will miss the most important things in her life right now. he will miss her first teeth, first time crawling, first steps...all the firsts you can think of. even though i have a lot of people who care about us, it feels like we are all alone. if any of you can give me some advice..or tell me how you make it through the day. i would really appreciate it..have a great day!!
It lucky my husband got 9years it cud be worse girl
I totally feel the pain. My husband got 30 months in prison. He has been there for 17 months. We have a 18 month old daughter. It sucks him not being here for all her firsts. I'm just really losing my mind lately. I miss him all crazy.I just want to wake up n this is all a bad dream. Feels good to know that I'm not alone.
I feel your pain my boyfriends in jail n we have a son who will be two on April 24 and our daughter turns one next Wednesday April 2 and its hard not having them there he missed our sons first steps last year n mothers day when he was in jail n he was the one teaching our son to walk. I think its so much harder when you have a kid with your man n he's in jail ecpecally when ur kids are so little like ours n their missing everything
Add a response...
I understand how you feel. Just pray and ask God for strength to get you through it. Most of all just take it one day at a time. This is your time to be the best mother you can be. Your baby needs you. Use this time to see who you are and get a closer relationship with the lord. When its time for your husband to come home. Yall will be together again. God bless.
I just try to keep busy and not think of it too much.. but the outcome of that is usualy me becoming numb and emotionless then out of no where I'm a crying mess..its hard. And I def know how u feel about missing all the important first. My man wasn't even home to see our son born and idk when he will be home yet..I'm praying for the best. Good luck and god bless you and yours.
That's how am emotionless n than a crying mess or very depressed the next min at night and in the morning are the worst for me

I thought i was the only one that was old going through this, im 33 my man is still in jail but da wants to give him three years i know thats nothing compared to yours but it sucks not having your best friend around.
please help keep in prayer my boyfriend his name is alejandro ferrer he had court on december of this year 2012 it starts on the 5th and i pray he gets released we really care for each other and well i would like to see his mom with a huge smile because its her only son
Hi my name is arielle, I've been with my best friend / boyfriend for two years.. he had did prison time before I had met him and he recently got locked up over the summer.. its been 3 months now and I'm lonely everyday.. I'm trying to be a good significant other, because his last girlfriend won't shi* the last time he was locked up. I have other friends that are going through the same thing... however our situations are still kind of different. THeir boyfriends either constantly beat on them or cheated on them or both. Mines has never laid his fist on me and he hasn't cheated on me.. I have a real smooth relationship with him.. when he was out we did everything together. My "friends" keep saying do you mingle a little but I have no reason too... I mean yes he is paying the consequences for what he has done but just because he is in jail I shouldn't have too have sex with other guys to have fun. Anyways we went to court on Friday of last week and D.A. still hasn't gotten all the statements so were waiting and waiting to see what he will be sentence.. I do know that this was his 2nd time violating his probation but he has a good lawyer and praying that he will only do 12 months well 9 months with time served.. I'm just tired. And I'm trying not to be like the girls I hang with. I love my man but with his situation they can still give him longer than 9 months even years. He had two years left on probation I'm scared they are going to ****** them two years from him. I'm tired of no sleep at night because he is not in the bed. SO since I don't sleep till about 5 in the morning I'm sleep the next day.. all day depression is kicking my ***.. I feel so sorry for you girls who have kids and your husbands/boyfriend is doing serious time.. Atleast you have those blessings from them to keep you busy... Me on the other end we don't have kids.. not yet and I wish I had a little piece of him to chase around.. but when we do have kids I pray that he gets on the right path so he won't have to miss the importance of them growing up... Ladies keep your head up and I'll try to do the same. :'(
I understand about not sleeping just last night,well just about every other night I don't any,sleep just like last night I went to sleep at 4 and just now getting up
sometimes i feel like that that i dont have my husband next to me on bed and i cry alone when me kids are asleep but i feel so bad of him not being with me
MY husband went to the county jail on july 18th the same day i found out i was pregnant this is his first child, he's out of state in the county and i live in another state, when he first went to jail i drove 14 hrs to see him, i stayed for almost 2 weeks and now im home i havent seen my husband for 3mos do not know how long he has but what we do know is that its going to take 6-18 months before he even gets his court date, im lost, im depressed at times i cry at times, i have his pictures in every room of the house, i moved out of our house because it didnt feel right anymore without him there, so i moved to an apartment to start fresh, so when he comes home this will be all new and we would be able to make a new start....all i know this is the first time for me to go thru anything like this and it hurts like heck, i love him so much and i miss him just as much...i mean we talk and i write him everyday and i mail the letter or letters everyday!!! so he can get mail from me everyday....only becasue it takes 3 days for the mail to reach him so if i write a letter everyday he will get a letter from me everyday....
My husband is in prison oh it's killin me can't eat sleep it's been three months now gets harder out four kids miss him do much too my heart breaks for them so much I just constantly tell him I'm with him but god I need him so bad it's awful feeling oh my god it's so awful and to you women who think they have a perfect life let me tell you in a spilt second your whole life can be turne upside down I'm so sad for him
I truly understand, i feel the same way about my husband and when he went to jail thats when i found out i was pregnant and this is his first child...im so lost without him but i do know that i will never leave him....
Im so sorry for your loss, i would fall apart if my man was doing that much time, your a. Strong woman.
My Husband is in prison and as soon as he went in i had our third child. Although I am blessed to have my third son , my husbands' parents don't think I can handle it and now have temporary custody and because yes I'm struggling to find a job they now have temporary custody. Times are hard and don't even wish this upon my worst enemy.
my husband is also in prison. he will be there 6 more months with 2 completed already. we have a 15 month old son together. it hurts so much some days. I get very angry at the selfish choice he made to put him where he is at,as well as to put his son in the position of missing daddy so much. I understand the anger is normal and will come and go, I try not to ignore it but at the same time I need to not focus on it in order to be the best mom I can. I have made the choice to stick with my husband through this trial we are faced with. along with that choice comes forgivness and letting go of resentment. it is a day by day struggle to get through this period of time,a period which a lot of people say will "fly by". I think they are wrong. I think these will be long months for us but I also know we have the best distractions in the world! enjoy your little distraction.....they keep us going when we don't want to and they give us strenght we didn't know we had.
Well my men is locked up I miss him so much I miss his kisses I miss his touch its crazy he should not be there at all to all of yoi that got a men in jail keep your head up

Hello all my man is getting sentenced tomorrow to 9 yrs. Trying to find support on what to do to make this time easier. with good behaivor and time served he will be home in 6 1/2 im trying to stay positive! We have been together for 8 years we started out young and we hade just decided to get married and this happend. so i will RIDE WITH HIM! any suggestions on how to make the time pass
My mate has been gone for only three weeks. He was rearrested in April for disobeying a no Contact order which resulted from a loud argument that annoyed our downstairs neighbor. I miss him like crazy and all I want is to have him home. We've been together for 6+ years. His next court date is in about a week and hopefully he'll be released. But I don't trust the court system so that remains to be seen.

Thank you for letting be get this off my chest. Today has been a very bad day.
Stand beside him and let him know you arent going anywhere. None of us expect to be in this postion yet here we are. Its not easy and people will talk but hold your head high and dont let it get to you. WHen he gets home dont take a second for granite! I am going through the same thing. I know it is so hard, I cry myseld to sleep each night after getting kids to bed but ive been down this road before and will get through it again just like you will too!!! Keep your head up.
I wish I did know how to tell you how to make it through times like these. Right now my husband is in the county jail and his trial is on my birthday of all days in just 2 short days. Anyhow he will not be coming home to me, he is looking at possibly a 5 to 10 is what the DA said they wanted from him. But if the Feds would have taken the case he could of gotten 25 years easy. So its only by the grace of God that the state took the case. Anyway I too have a small baby with my husband. She just turned 1 on the 8th of March and her Birthday party he missed too :( Ya know for me this is so hard. I feel like my life is in a downward spiral and that I am allowing myself to be imprisoned with him and I know its no good. The ONLY thing that keeps me going is my babies. But still it hurts and I wish I knew a way to make the pain go away. I see my husband every week and talk to him daily, sometimes it seems like it makes it hurt worse. But I know I cannot live without him and being forced to is like torture, I miss my best friend. And how am I gonna make it all that time with him gone. I know I will survive but I am just sooooo sad and depressed I dont know what to do. I have isolated so badly. I keep praying things will get easier and lighter on us, just acceptance and all. But I definatly feel your pain everyday!
I was 8months pregnant when My Man was arrested & a week before My Baby Shower... & 3days before His bday & on My bday when He got took... it was devastating to Me! The 1st year was so hard but I stayed busy with a newborn... then came trial 5yrs & a day! so no parole(all over stealing $400 what BS!)... I cried & cried & then made the decision to stick it out. I am very strong willed, I can do this... My health has slowly gotten worse & now I have been diagnosed with MS.. We are almost 4yrs in & I wish more than ever that He was home to take care of Us. My 3yr old can be a bit much for Me in My condition & I have no help. it's weird that this last year has been the toughest & the other 4 have flown by, I want to count down the days but that's too many I live month to month. I can't even imagine waiting longer than that... if He is your mate, etc... don't move on completely stand by him, but do U too.. We only live 1ce & We are entitled to happiness & companionship! I have not strayed, but I can barely offer My kid what lil energy I have, I just don't have it for another Man... if I can't give to My child what She deserves then no1 gets anything! She didn't choose this life & I refuse to let it affect her more than it already has.. She craves male attention badly.. when We visit its great & it's contact so that helps. we don't write anymore now that we call & visit weekly.. I was in the beginning writing 24/7...mostly hate mail lol... I was so mad at him! how dare He put Us in this position?! But ladies it's not that He don't Love yous, He is just caught up in a mess & He has to be the 1 to get out of it... So I hope for Me & every1 else who Loves their Man that it all works out for the better. We make Mistakes, we're only HUMAN! but if people continually let U down & hurt U on purpose it's time to let them go... We all know when We need to walk away & when We need to stay! & for all those that talk **** to yous.. Still hold your head up high, I do, & I say hey at the end of the day I stood by My word & what others do is of no concern to Me.
My goodness :( I don't know what to say. Reading these stories brings tears to my eyes, to know how many strong beautiful women there are in this world, going through the devastation of their loved one being in prison... & that I'm not alone. It's so very hard dealing with this kind of situation. I could never imagine my fiance being away for 10 years. One year has been hard enough. I'm from Canada, and judging by the stories I have read, it sounds like alot of you live in the US. Off topic- but I think their correctional system is so unfair! (for the most part)... My love went to prison February of 2011, and will be coming home this January of 2012. In the first few weeks of serving his sentence, I cried every day. Couldn't pick myself up out of bed. At one point I had to make the decision of either waiting for him, or not. I knew either way I had to be happy. So I waited, and yes it's been a tough long road, but it was worth the wait. Of course I had no support because unless you know someone that has been through the EXACT same thing, people will just never understand. I can't give anyone advice on weather on not to wait for their boyfriends, husbands ect. All I can say is follow your heart and you can not put your life on complete hold for someone else. Always take care of you first. Its not easy waiting that long period of time, but I can only imagine the day my fiance comes home, will be the most rewarding day of my life :) Good luck ladies xo
I was locked up for 13 months. I'm here to tell you that being in prison does not rehabilitate a person. When I was in county for 8 months it was a revolving door. I saw men come in more than once and because of being habitual then they were shipped off to state prison. I heard them tell their women they were a changed person and when they get out they would do better. Then I saw them come back and I was ashamed for them. I'm older now more wise. Drinking and taking drugs is the reason 98% of all the men are in jail. If a man does not stop drinking or taking drugs when he is on the street he will be put back in. I would suggest moving on. You may not want to hear this but it's the hard reality. Find someone else that will take care of you and your needs. Don't waste your life waiting.
I feel kinda of bad posting because my fiance only has to serve 90 days but im in pa and hes serving time in ohio... it cost 10 dollars everytime he calls and i can't really afford that and all the bills on top of that i just found out im 2 months pregnant this is my first and im only 20 so im scared. I have the support of both my family and his but this phone call and letter stuff is really starting to kill me... when i have cravings i can't call him and ask him to bring something home and i can't write to him telling him i need something i feel soo alone even tho i have family and i know some of u are saying 90days wow but the thing is ive spent everyday with him for the past 3 years never leaving each others side except for to go to work we've shared a bed and he's done everything for me.... now i go to work everyday counting down the days till he comes home the first week was hard but now im getting thru it little things make me cry every now and then but some of that is hormones! 84 more days till he gets out but he's gonna miss thanksgiving christmas and his birthday i can't wait for him to get out and who knows when i will be able to see him
i know how it feels :'( im 7 monthes pregnant and my boyfriend is in jail i dont even know whats going to happen to him, he went to jail about 4 weeks ago & he was the only one there for me when i first got pregnant, hes my bestfriend and its not even his fault why he is in jail, we write eachother sometimes and we barely talk on the phone like every other week, it sucks and i just want him out, i miss him soo much it hurts and im scared hes going to miss our babys most important years and i know hes very upset about that. im so scared he could get years i dont know what im going to do.

My name is Amy! My husband has been down four years now and has 6 more to do. We have two children together they were 7 and 4 when he got locked up. We have had to deal with a lot by ourselves and like you said, I should not have had to do this alone. My anger for him gets the best of me sometimes because he made the choices he made and thought nothing of the consequences. We are making it though, the kids and I and him. We are all still a family and a strong unit. I believe this is because like others have commented: We keep in contact very frequently. We write everyday and mail letters Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This way we are getting mail constantly. We don't miss much that way. I send pictures on schedule too. Of course the obvious birthdays, holidays special occassions but also just of normal everyday life. We make cakes and special dinners on fathers day and his birthday and take pictures of us holding up signs like... We love you Daddy! Or stuff like that. It lets him know that we are thinking of him always and that he is still very much a part of our lives. He shows them off inside and brags. He should he's very lucky to still have us in his life. He is very thankful for that. Just remember the pain and lonliness you feel is double for him. He only has time to think about everything he has done and nothing to keep him busy really. Dont keep anything from him. Whether you think your protecting his feelings or not. He will find out at some point and that will ruin everything and you will have waited in vein. My husband was only three hours from me and I visited every other weekend. I carpooled to save money. See if you can hook up with someone like that. He was moved too Ironwood which is 13 hours from here and now to Michigan which is over 2000 miles from here. So I'm glad i visited as much as I did when I had the chance. Because I won't see him for 6 more years, it will cost too much to go see him now and I won't take that money from the kids. They have a right to be comfortable and I won't tighten things up on them again they had to go without a lot of things for the first 3 years he was down while I tried to square the bills away that I was left with....We went from 65 thousand a year to 25 thousands. So needless to say I had to do some huge budget cutting. I was very humbling. He was very strong for us though and he kept my head straight and we got through it. Keep your head up and take this time to learn more about each other. I wish you guys the best!!!
My husband will be in prison for the next 10 years. I admit I am a wreck. We are 34 with 4 children. I will always remain a strong woman for my children no doubt. I feel free to express here I'm a mess but remain open and honest with our kids! I Love my Husand and I would never put the word "but" infront of that! Those who judge people in love with conscenting adults must have issues of thier own. I will never underestimate the love we have by simply listening to those types of people. We are stronger than that. ~Through Thick and Thin
if any of you ladies would like to chat... please feel free to contact me. I'm currently in this position and yes by choice. I'm not here to judge anyone regardless of the situation... talk to you soon. -J

VIA Puts Nano CPU in Compact Server
VIA Technologies out of Taiwan is building around its Nano processor the M'SERV S2100 minicomputer for system integrators and OEMs with three USB ports designed for the small office/home office (SOHO) and small to medium enterprise (SME) market.
The forearm-length rectangular box contains a power supply and a Nano processor board (64-bit, 1-2 GHz, 1MB cache and 800MHz FSB). The almost square front includes a USB port and activated LEDs for hard drive and network activity. The back has two USB ports, two Gigabit RJ-45 LAN ports and a VGA monitor port. Two 3.5" SATA-II hard disks are inside that the manufacturer rates at a maximum 4TB. Memory is two DDR2 SSO-DIMM sockets at 533 and 667 MHz bus frequencies. VIA suggests the CompactFlash Type 1 socket makes for a bootable SSD.
Next to the three previous Windows editions, VIA has also tested Ubuntu, SLED and FreeBSD on the device and declares them compatible. The Taipei company sees usage mainly for backup, network video recording or logging services in home or mid-sized enterprises. The compact server is available for OEMs, with specifics as to regions or price not yet known.
The VIA M'SERV S2100 apparently wants to win some points for its design, although it has no new components. Its x86 Nano processor has been on the market since mid-2008, while the new 3000 series has just been recently announced. Details about VIA's Isaiah architecture are in a whitepaper linked from VIA's press release page. Graphics are handled by the VX800 chipset introduced in April 2008.

PRESCOTT - The president of Arizona's leading fruit and vegetable farming association says immigration reform that's handled poorly could place America's food supply under the control of China and other foreign agriculture powers.
National security has been a driving force behind a movement to beef up border enforcement and to discourage illegal immigrants from staying in the United States. But Tom Nassif turned that argument on its head Tuesday during a lunchtime speech to members of the 86th Arizona Town Hall.
Truly sealing the U.S.-Mexican border would remove up to half of this country's agriculture workers, Nassif said. Farming companies could respond by increasing their field wages to attract more American workers. But they would have to raise their prices for fruits and vegetables as well, he said.
Customers likely would turn to cheaper produce from other countries such as Mexico and China, Nassif said.
American farms unable to compete eventually would be replaced with more lucrative housing developments and shopping malls, which has happened throughout the East Valley in the past 20 years.
Once those farms are gone, they can't be replaced, Nassif said. If such losses occur on a wide scale, the United States could become as dependent on other countries for food as it now relies on the Middle East for oil.
Nassif has faced a great deal of criticism this year for making such comments as the leader of Western Growers, which represents most of the fruit and vegetable farmers in Arizona and California.
But the former U.S. ambassador to Morocco found a largely receptive audience among the 150 participants in this week's Arizona Town Hall. The group of government officials, business leaders and college experts has been meeting since Monday to discuss immigration reform and Arizona's role in a global economy.

Fat-Fighting Foods
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) is a nutritional all-star that belongs in your weight loss plan. This whole grain has 8 grams of hunger-busting protein and 5 grams of fiber in one cup, and you'll also get iron, zinc, selenium, and vitamin E. Quinoa is as easy to cook as rice. For a quick dinner, mix in some vegetables, nuts, or lean protein.
Some studies suggest cinnamon may have a stabilizing effect on blood sugar levels. This could curb your appetite, particularly in people with type 2 diabetes, Bonci says. Nearly everyone can benefit from cinnamon in its traditional role. Stir some into your coffee, tea, or yogurt to add sweetness without adding calories.
Hot Peppers
Hot peppers have a flavorless chemical called capsaicin. It's more plentiful in habaneros, but jalapeños also have it. Capsaicin seems to curb appetite and speed up metabolism slightly, but only for a short time. It probably doesn't have a big impact on weight, unless you eat less food because it's spicy.
Green Tea
Several studies suggest green tea may promote weight loss by stimulating the body to burn abdominal fat. Green tea contains catechins, a type of phytochemical that may briefly affect the metabolism. To get the most benefit, you may need to drink green tea several times a day. Bonci recommends taking your tea hot, because it takes longer to drink, providing a soothing, mindful experience.
Grapefruit doesn't have any magical fat-burning properties, but it can help you feel full with fewer calories. That's because its soluble fiber takes longer to digest. Having half a grapefruit or a glass of grapefruit juice before a meal fills you up, so you eat fewer calories during the meal.
Foods that are rich in water take up more room in your gut. This signals the body that you've had enough to eat and leaves less room for other foods. Many raw fruits and vegetables are full of water and nutrients, and low in calories. Watermelon is a great example. It's a good source of the antioxidant lycopene and gives you some vitamin A and C, too.
Pears and Apples
Pears and apples are also high in water content. Eat them with the peels for extra fiber, which will keep you full longer. Go for whole fruits rather than fruit juice. You'll get more fiber, and you have to chew the fruits. This takes longer and you'll burn a few calories chewing, as opposed to gulping down a smoothie.
Like other fruits, berries are high in water and fiber, which can keep you full longer. They're also very sweet, satisfying your sweet tooth for a fraction of the calories you would get from cookies or brownies. Blueberries are a good example because most stores carry them and they're loaded with antioxidants.
Raw Vegetables
Raw vegetables make an outstanding snack. They satisfy the desire to crunch, they're full of water to help you feel full, and they're low in calories. Half a cup of diced celery has just eight calories. Coat celery with a little peanut butter or dunking carrots in salsa. When you're in the mood for chips and dip, replace the chips with raw veggies.
Sweet Potatoes
Think of the typical toppings on your baked potato -- butter, sour cream, maybe cheese and bacon bits. If you substitute a sweet potato, you might not need any of that. Baked sweet potatoes are so full of flavor, they don't need a lot. This can save you loads of calories. As a bonus, sweet potatoes are packed with potassium, beta carotene, vitamin C, and fiber.
One egg has only 75 calories and 7 grams of protein, along with other vital nutrients. Remember, your body will burn more calories digesting eggs than a carb-heavy breakfast. If you have high cholesterol, one egg is almost all the cholesterol you should have in a day. Choose egg whites, which are cholesterol free.
Oatmeal has three things going for it: fiber-rich whole-grain oats, lots of water, and it's hot. It's a very filling combination. Hot food takes longer to eat, and all that liquid and fiber will help you feel full longer. Avoid super-sugary oatmeal. Stirring in cinnamon or nutmeg will give you a sweet taste with less sugar.
Whole-grain rye crackers, sometimes called crispbreads, offer a low-fat, fiber-packed alternative to traditional crackers. Research suggests people who replace refined grains with whole grains tend to have less belly fat. Whole grains also provide a richer assortment of plant nutrients. This doesn't just apply to crackers. You can get the same benefits by switching to whole-grain breads, cereals, and pastas.
A standout whole grain is bulgur wheat, the type found in tabouli. It's high in fiber and protein, but low in fat and calories. That helps you fill up with a minimum of calories. It also tastes great. To turn this dish into a meal, you could add beans and stir in extra tomato, cucumber, and parsley.
Soup -- we're talking broth-based, not creamy -- has a lot going for it. It's full of water, which fills you up with the fewest possible calories. It's hot, which prevents you from eating too much. Have it before a meal, and soup can take up space that might have gone to higher calorie foods. You can also make a satisfying, low-calorie meal out of soup alone by adding chicken, fish, cut-up vegetables, or beans.
Another way to fill up before a meal is by eating salad. Lettuce has plenty of water content to take up space in the stomach. That leaves less room for fattier foods that might come later in the meal. Make your salad interesting by adding a variety of fruits and vegetables or grated cheese. Be careful about dressing, which can add a lot of calories.
Nuts are an excellent way to curb hunger between meals. They're high in protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats. Studies suggest nuts can promote weight loss and improve cholesterol levels when eaten in moderation. They're also rich in calories, so limit your portions. If you have to get them out of their shell, you'll slow down and not eat as much.
Lean Meat
You know that protein can keep you full longer and burn more calories during digestion. Choose your protein carefully. Dark meat tends to be high in fat, which could cancel out some of the benefits. Skinless chicken breast is a great choice. And some cuts of beef can make the grade. Flank steak, eye of round, and top sirloin are extra-lean with less than 4 grams of saturated fat per serving. Stick with a 3- to 4-ounce portion.

I have been working so hard in my garden, added running beds along the chainlink fence, added 4 beautiful hydrangeas, 2 roses, and a million others, only to have all the rain just sit and create a bog garden! I have clayish soil, so it isnt draining properly. I had no idea i had drainage issues as it hasnt rained this hard in forever! Now do i dig everything up and raise the soil level? Oy.
Anyone else have this problem? Im sure i shouldve known the water sits where it is , but i never planned on adding beds where i did. Help! :) |

- Posted by nhlivefreeordie 6 (My Page) on Sat, Aug 1, 09 at 10:20
I am sure you know about adding organic matter to the clay soil to help with drainage and water retention. A quick fix might be to create raised beds, that way drainage will be less of a problem. |

The Lansing State Journal ran a short piece on September 24th about how the citizenship question may stifle Latino voters, pegging it to a new report by The Advancement Project, a national civil rights group. Given the heat of the political conversation on immigration, it seems like this is an intuitive tie-in to the emergence of the citizenship question, and it's a wonder that more outlets haven't picked up on it, especially since the immigration story plays out elsewhere in these very same outlets.
There's still room to report this story, however, as the LSJ article does not go very far, and does not give readers resources to explore further—the name of The Advancement Project report is not even mentioned, or linked in the online edition. While the piece mentions that only 68,000 of 171,100 eligible Latino citizens voted in Michigan's 2010 election, it doesn't offer any other demographic numbers to put that in perspective, or even compare it to the ratio of Latino voters in the August primary, when voters encountered the citizenship box. When I dug up the report—it's called "Segregating American Citizenship: Latino Disenfranchisement in 2012"—and its press materials, I found it exclaiming that "voter suppression laws could disenfranchise 10 million Latino voters in 2012." That's a large number. And a ridiculous one. It is nearly half the entire population of Latino citizens in the US eligible Latino voters in the US. The estimate seems to come from counting the total number of Hispanic citizens of voting age in all 23 states examined in the report.
The Lansing State Journal piece might have brought rigor to The Advancement Project's claims. It might have offered a reasonable interrogation into how the citizenship question affects Michigan's Latino voters, or examined more seriously the barriers faced by Hispanic voters, or connected the citizenship question at the Michigan polls to national immigration politics. It does not. As a result, the piece feels more theoretical than reported, and, with a statement from the SOS office to counter claims by the Advancement Project, it devolves into the circularity of he-said, she-said.
While gaps in the voter fraud story in Michigan remain, the swarming of its media around the issue provides, collectively, fairly cohesive coverage in a state not particularly known for its cohesive politics. But serious omissions remain. In the final month before Election Day, Michigan reporters and editorialists have their work cut out for them.
Correction: The original version of this post reported that 10 million is "nearly half the entire population of Latino citizens in the US." In fact, 10 million is nearly half the entire population of eligible Latino voters in the US. The relevant sentence has been corrected. CJR regrets the error.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
Busy ecommerce sites need a way of checking if carts are being processed and if carts are not being processed an alert (email, sms) should be sent to an administrator. By doing this the admin could then check the cart and payment pages to identify any problems i.e. server time outs, DOS attacks etc.
Thanks for the feedback. There are great services that provide this already (3rd parties) such as pingdom, tealeaf, gomez, etc.
I think a distinction needs to be made in respect of alerting services that ping the server to make sure it is working and alert services that monitor order activity and send out alerts if, say, a specific number of orders/open baskets have not been made in a specified period of time. It is my understanding that the services that Roy refers to only deal with basic pinging of the server. I would have thought that there would be security issues of allowing a third-party to monitor back-end order activity? Doesn't this sort of alert require a module to be written or is there a third-party service that can be used that does not compromise security?
