He was hot as hell in Bridesmaids.
He was hot as hell in Bridesmaids.
he's an incredibly gorgeous man. in regards to what ryan gosling said, i definitely dont think ryan gosling is as hot as people say though. to me, ryan gosling is rather average...Jon Hamm is the fucking man, though.
Wow, nice.
Oh my God. His penis is practically in full view for everyone to see! It seems he couldn't care less. lol
I'm going to have to pay a little more attention during Mad Men.
I have noticed sometimes he hangs to the left and sometimes to the right. I guess with a dick that big it go wherever it wants to. He must love showing off that monster.
Perhaps the biggest cock in Hollywood, and he's clearly not a fan of underwear. What a lucky bitch holding his hand.
not only that he has a big dick but the man is very very hot that make him the perfect boyfriend or husband
^I'm surprised his penis isn't peeking out of those, somebody must have made him wear a speedo or something underneath the trunks.
VERY hot thread
Does this guy ever wear any underwear?
Hopefully NOT !!!
good god is that thing beautiful
He is a hot beast.

Jon Hamm's Private Parts Allegedly Cause A Frenzy On 'Mad Men' Set
According to the New York Daily News' Confidenti@l, an AMC Network insider says the allegedly well-endowed actor was kindly instructed by a staffer to please wear underwear while shooting his scenes.
The insider even adds that during Seasons 1 and 2 of the show, the marketing team had to Photoshop a lot of the promotional posters, billboards and ad campaigns considering Hamm's "impressive anatomy" was making an impressive showing.
"Imagine how distracting that would be on the side of a bus or building," the insider laughs. "When the promotional pictures came back the first few seasons, we had to work with them. Everyone was concerned about too much Christina Hendricks boob, but it's Jon that has the most to show. It's a good problem to have."
Getting to see Jon's thinly shielded boys is one of the redeeming qualities about the show Mad Men. Now they are saying it is too much and too distracting. For whom? I mean the show is tanking, well more than usual. Now there seems to be no reason at all to tune in.
Yea I know it's HP, but what to do.............
Only government can take perfectly good paper, cover it with perfectly good ink and make the combination worthless.
- Many more images, no nudes that I saw
Lately, the name Jon Hamm and the word bulge have become synonymous.
A quick Google search for the Mad Men star will prove just that, and it seems the cast and crew of Hamms hit AMC television series wont let him forget his past trouser offenses.
According to the New York Daily News' Confidenti@l, an AMC insider said the well-endowed actor was instructed to wear underwear while filming certain scenes of the 1960s TV show, due to the eras tight-fitting clothing.
This season takes place in the 1960s, where the pants are very tight and leave little to the imagination, said the source. And it gets better: Jons impressive anatomy is so distracting that they politely insisted on underwear.
It seems that Hamms impressive anatomy was so much of a distraction, the shows marketing team had to Photoshop many of the billboards, promotional posters and ad campaigns relating to the show due to the prominent appearance of Jon Jr.
Imagine how distracting that would be on the side of a bus or building, the unnamed insider said. When the promotional pictures came back the first few seasons, we had to work with them. Everyone was concerned about too much Christina Hendricks boob, but its Jon that has the most to show. Its a good problem to have.
But Jon Hamms rep disagrees that his anatomical excess is a good problem, saying, It is ridiculous and not really funny at all. Id appreciate you taking the high road and not resorting to something childish like this thats been blogged about 1,000 times.
While we could make a pro and con list debating the worth of Hamms, er, Hamits clear the actor doesnt mind showcasing what Mother Nature gave him. In September of last year, Hamm and longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt went on a shopping trip to Barneys, and when paparazzi snapped a photo of the pair, it became clear who the real star of the snapshot was. (Yes, his penis.) And a few weeks later, he committed the same offense, stepping outside in some (un)fortunately super-clingy pants. Jon is a big boy but sometimes it can be distracting, one insider said of the incident.
A big boy, indeed.
I just jizzed myself reading that.
I think Mad Men would be that much more interesting if Hamm were to go commando.
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
I can almost guarantee that Jon Hamm was told to "cover up" by some twerp exec that is green with envy because he's got a teeny-weeny.
Only government can take perfectly good paper, cover it with perfectly good ink and make the combination worthless.
I'd like to measure his penis with my mouth.
The dude seems to be packing
So this whole commando thong got more interesting, apparently Underwear companies like Fruit of the Loom and Jockey have reportedly reached out to Hamm and offered him an endorsement deal which includes underwear for life for heavens sake. But Jon is not amused sayin he is being a little irked by the pics of his package, which not only give the impression he doesn't go in for undies, but has also spawned its own web names Jon says that although it's tongue-in-cheek, it is also a little rude, and It just speaks to a broader freedom that people feel like they havea prurience. Adding They are called 'privates' for a reason; I'm wearing pants, for f--k's sake. Lay off."
This all begs the question should Jon wear boxers or briefs?
Why the fuck are people trying to get him to wear underwear!
This has to stop. They're ruining things for all us, even Jon. lol
They actually told him that he had to wear underwear when filming Mad Men because the suit is a tight cut.
Google "shirtless Jon Hamm." Very hot!
Nude pic of Jon Hamm...Enjoy
Just saw pics of a shirtless Jon Hamm ("Mad Men") and almost creamed! Nice patch of black hair between his pecs and the most beautiful treasure trail.
Pics or it didn't happen.
Let's go to war to make peace; let's be cold to create heat.
It's almost unfair that somebody could be so handsome. Absolutely beautiful.
Let's go to war to make peace; let's be cold to create heat.
He also apparently has a huge cock.

reviews & comments (9)
i followed the directions exactly and they came out perfect!!! these are easy and elegant....
These are nice and tasty. I took others advice and use 1.5 C flour. Perfect. For fun, once some batter is in the mold, stick a little chunk of dark chocolate. Cook same length of time. Cool, then serve with a scoop of mint choco chip ice cream. Oh heaven.
These came out very well. Only difference, I used the zest of two oranges instead of lemons and used 1.5 cups of flour instead of the 1.75 cups in the recipe. Baked for 15 minutes. And made about 30 cookies. Very fluffy, cakey feel. Wonderful with a nice cup of tea and milk.
I was a little disappointed with the result. I find the cake was a bit dry perhaps I should reduced amount of flour as suggested in one of the reviews.
Although the taste was very good, I have to agree with the reviewer from St. Thomas, VI that they were a little dense for me also. I will try to reduce the flour as suggested. My bake time was 9 minutes using my convection oven.
Absolutely wonderful. All the proportions in the recipe are perfect. I have been making these over and over again, and they barely last a day. Try dipping them in tea or coffee.
I was very pleased with this recipe, but found that the Madeleines became more dense than I like once cooled. I therefore reduced the flour to 1 1/2 cups, and substituted cake flour for regular flour. Additionally, they were too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar, and lemon zest, by about half, and added a half-teaspoon of salt.

I have a slow leak (a few drops per hour) in a tub drain seal. The water is leaking from the seal between the tub and the drain shoe. There is a black rubber gasket between these two surfaces that is compressed when the drain basket is screwed into the shoe. I've tried replacing this gasket but it still leaks. And I've re-puttied the basket seal twice.
Should I try putting joint compound on both sides of the gasket? TIA
Follow-Up Postings:
"I have a slow leak (a few drops per hour) in a tub drain seal." The drain to the tub itself or one of the joints in the drain line? If the seal to the tub itself is leaking, try tightening the nut. If the leak is on the drain line, a seal is often upside down. |
The leak is at the connection between the drain shoe and the bottom of the tub. A black round gasket is compressed between these two when the drain basket is tightened (yes, with a drain wrench). I've tried tightening the drain basket, re-doing the plumbers putty around the basket, and putting 3 wraps of red (pink) teflon tape on the basket threads, and, yet, it still leaks very slowly. Would coating the black gasket with silicone sealant work? TIA |
"Would coating the black gasket with silicone sealant work? " Only until the silicone looses its bond to the tub's exterior from repeated thermal expansion and contraction of the tub. Gaskets are use in place of plumbers putty, rarely with plumbers putty. A thicker and softer gasket would likely be a better choice. |

You served your country, and in the process you were injured. It could be a bad back. It could be loss of limb. Or maybe you're not sure if you're entitled to any government benefits. American Legion service officers file thousands of VA claims each year on behalf of America's veterans. And the Legion's Benefits Calculator can help you prepare to file a claim.
Veterans will soon find the process to get a service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder a little easier.
The American Legion says the Department of Veterans Affairs' claims backlog can be reduced by simply altering the way VA processes those claims.
The administration's budget was rolled out this week, which features three prominent issues that The American Legion has worked diligently on to keep high on the national agenda.
Quality of health care for veterans living in rural areas the topic of forum organized by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
Several members of The American Legion's national staff joined VA Secretary Eric Shinseki at the Winterhaven Homeless Veterans Stand Down on Jan. 23.
At roundtable discussion, VSOs urge Congress to reduce the VA disability claims backlog.
The American Legion has launched a new online tool that guides veterans through the often-complicated claims process.
VA has announced the hiring of five federal recovery coordinators, bringing to 20 the number of professionals coordinating care for seriously injured troops.
A scheduled Department of Veterans Affairs $1 increase in veterans' prescription copayments will be delayed until June 30.
The American Legion recently reached out to VA's Chief Business Office in an effort to investigate and correct any cases of improper billing.

Well, what we aren't bringing in chills we'll deliver in thrills. Or something.

Can anyone help me identify this tree? It was cut from a neighbors lot. The heartwood looks lots like Walnut, but the leaves looked too waxy.

Dear Ms. Buckley: I read the short write-up in the UT alum newsletter on Eurasian migration. Over the past 15-plus years I have spent about 30 percent of my time in Kazakhstan in conjunction with petroleum exploration and production. During this time I formed many fast friendships with Kazakhs and Russian Kazakhstanis. I did a great deal of research on their culture and their language. My contacts range from Almaty to Astana to Aktau to KzylOrda and Atyrau. I would be happy to assist you in any way I can: names of contacts and phone numbers. They range from drivers, housekeepers, ministers, bureaucrats, lawyers, professional engineers and geologists, and to one former prime minister. I have talked to veterans of WWII. I was invited to attend a celebrative luncheon of WWII veterans in Almaty (I was the only Westerner who was a veteran of WWII.) I have had a number of visits regarding the Afghanistan debacle the Russians experienced. My driver was a young paratrooper, and one of my administrative people was a retired colonel who served there.
The politics is very complex and tribal in nature. When the country gained independence the Kazakhs took over all the higher positions in industry and government. I prepared a slide talk (PowerPoint) on Kazakhstan that might be helpful. It is out of date on demographic and economic graphs and charts. I will be happy to share this with you if you think it would be another source of information. Howard R. Lowe

Modern Warfare 2 - Xbox 360 - 980/1000
By DiehardKill 12 Comments
BLEH! So close to 1000 points only twenty points away! The last achievement is of course the intel collecting which i hate doing! This game in my mind is completed but i will eventually take the time and go back through the levels again to gather the intel that i missed. Anyway on with the review. This game is fantastic! The game has everything from fantastic graphics to an amazing story line. I enjoyed every bit of the campaign mode and would recommend it to anyone that likes first person shooters.
The achievements for the game are fairly easy to obtain. If you start the campaign after playing online for awhile like i did you will breeze right through the game. In the beginning of the story line when i ran the "pit" i had to do it under a certain amount of time to get achievement i cant recall what the time i had to beat but basically you cant mess up shooting pedestrians and dont miss and hostiles! I think the easiest way to get the achievement is to use dual pistols and reload when jumping down off the building. Try to get veteran mode your first time around so all the lower difficulty achievements unlock when you complete the missions.
The hardest achievement to get in this game is star 69 achievement and boy was it a goal. Me and a friend took a couple weeks to get this one that is because we didn't play often but all together it would of taken probably just a day or two in 3-4 sessions. Only advise i can tell you is to be patient if you just run in gunning your going to die and so is your partner so just go slow.
On the harder missions (on echo) you will be running quite often if your parter is bleeding out make them chase you away form your partner and run back and revive him dont try to be a hero and try to revive while being shot most of the time you will die and have to restart the mission all over.
Another thing i want to add is i love the multi-player on modern ware fare! Its a great experience and sometimes comical with the people on yelling at each other from time to time. If you are offended by strong language I recommend you do not get online but all in all this game gets an A in my book.
Stay tuned for my next update you can request to be my friend. My gamertag is diehardkillzone.

I love to read and listen to erotica all types and paranormal vamps and shifters
I think out of all the books in this series this is my favorite one Logan loved Tara and he would have did anything to keep her safe. This book had some of everything in it murder mystery and it also had love and a dominate man will to do anything to make the person he love see it I love this book
Love Romantic Erotica with a twist , thrill, suspense and a great story !
"Love Dom Logan !!! Story lacking...."
I really like the Dom stories, and love Logan. Was anxious to hear his story. I felt the story was a bit lacking. Had it figured out before the end. I would prefer to wonder the whole story. Can't believe I'm saying this, however, had a bit too much smex and Dom details. Kind of got old and repetitive. Although I liked it, it was not my favorite of the series.

'Metallica Through the Never': Narrative dims megawatt show
A review of "Metallica Through the Never," which is part live concert, shot over several days during the Canadian leg of the band's 2012 tour, and part knucklehead fantasy, about a roadie sent out on a mysterious assignment.
San Francisco Chronicle
Movie Review
'Metallica Through the Never,' a concert film directed by Nimród Antal. 92 minutes. Rated R for some violent content and language. Several theaters.
As a purely kinetic experience, it's hard to beat "Metallica Through the Never." The film plunks the audience squarely onstage for a jet-fueled concert by the heavy-metal kings, and it's shown in IMAX 3D to boot.
The performance footage was shot over several nights during the Canadian leg of the band's 2012 tour. The show was a megawatt spectacle, with the guys presenting maximum-energy versions of songs from throughout their three-decade career, including "Master of Puppets," "Enter Sandman" and "Hit the Lights."
Part of the show is designed to suggest that some catastrophe is taking place outside the arena and disrupting the onstage activities.
The fantasy sequences star Dane DeHaan ("The Place Beyond the Pines") as a roadie named Trip who just wants to watch the show but is sent out on a mysterious assignment. He wanders deserted city streets full of riot cops, rebellious youngsters and mass executions, and is chased by a death-dealing figure on horseback. All this may or may not be related to the catastrophe that threatens the show.
This sort-of narrative is probably meant by director Nimród Antal ("Predators") to provide breaks from the high-intensity performance segments, but it's knucklehead stuff, even in the metal context.

Is grad school a bad idea?
posted at 12/12/2010 7:43 AM EST
Lately, there seems to be more and more criticism of graduate school in popular culture. (There are some especially derisive viral videos out there). This is interesting, because grad school isn't something that usually appears on pop-culture radar.
Meanwhile, the Chronicle of Higher Education has been running articles by professors telling students to avoid graduate school. There is even a blog called "100 Reasons NOT to go to grad school" (http://100rsns.blogspot.com/).
There seems to have been a cultural turning point. When did grad school become a bad idea? -

When did grad school become a bad idea?
Posted by WaldemarG
Around the time that spending a lot of time specifically learning one subject, therefore knowing more about it than other people, made you an "elitist" who thinks (correctly) that they know more about it than other people. -
Re: Is grad school a bad idea?
posted at 12/14/2010 4:04 PM EST
Graduate School is a complete waste of time or money unless you are absolutely certain that your desired job will hire you with that degree. Certain degrees like an MBA far outweigh most Masters programs but in general they are all worthless.
Job Experience is far more valuable and in most cases gets you further ahead. -
Re: Is grad school a bad idea?
posted at 12/14/2010 7:25 PM EST
First, I will address the question is it a bad idea, then I will move to cultural references in the media.
It depends on what field you want to work in.
I went to grad school so I could get a Masters in Education.
I also worked at the university, so they paid for it through their tuition remission program. I got a free degree, quit my university desk job to become a part time adjunct professor in Boston. I teach at two prestigious universities, I love my job, I enjoy the intellectual challenge and I learn something new every single day. I get up every morning excited about my work.
Grad school can be a bad idea if you're going because your best friend is, if you are putting yourself thousands more into unmanageable debt, or have any reservations whatsoever. It's not for everyone. I do advise my students to think long and hard about going to grad school.
Lastly, I think it is being attacked on the pop culture front because people don't like other people who are smarter than they are, it's fashionable in this country to attack "elitists", and most people think education is about money. All terrible attitudes, admittedly, but they persist. -
Re: Is grad school a bad idea?
posted at 12/15/2010 2:21 AM EST
There are different types of grad school. If your grad school program is funded - that is, you do not pay your own tuition, and you receive a stipend covering living expenses, then there's no harm in applying and attending. Since you cost the school money to attend, they won't let you stay if you don't absolutely belong there.
If you're putting yourself through grad school, however, then more thought needs to go into the decision.
Are you getting the degree in order to get a higher-paying job? Will the money you spent on school allow an increase in salary once you get your degree? If so, how many years will it take to recoup the cost?
Another reason you might be getting the degree would be because it's absolutely required for the profession you intend to pursue. As a result, you need to weigh your probability of success in the program with the cost of attending and the probability of actually getting - and enjoying - that coveted job once you graduate.
The last reason one might pay one's own way through grad school is simply to learn what the program has to offer. If you can afford it, then it's absolutely worthwhile, but you should keep in mind that dropping out is an option if the program doesn't deliver what you came there to learn. -

Dawn, are you saying that if someone ELSE, taxpayers or whomever, is covering your expenses than don't think about if it's right for you, just spend our money and go? If YOU are funding it, think about it long and hard first? That's what's wrong with this country. -

In Response to Re: Is grad school a bad idea?:Dawn, are you saying that if someone ELSE, taxpayers or whomever, is covering your expenses than don't think about if it's right for you, just spend our money and go? If YOU are funding it, think about it long and hard first? That's what's wrong with this country.
Posted by kargiverNo, Dawn -- maybe that's what the poster meant but I highly doubt it. For many grad school programs, the cost is covered at least partially by an employer or by the school itself -- for example, PhD programs will offer a stipend to cover living expenses. Someone else who makes use of these resources doesn't cost you, Dawn-the-taxpayer, anything at all, and has nothing at all to do with "what's wrong with this country." I also think the main point is that if you as a student are going to go thousands of dollars into debt in order to finance your graduate education, it is simply smart financial planning to weigh the pros and cons of grad school very carefully.To the LW, I can't say when the culture at large deemed grad school a waste. But really, there are so many types of grad schools and programs it's an odd concept. For example, in this state, teachers *must* get a Master's degree or they lose their teaching license after 5 years. Hardly a bad idea for a teacher to get a Master's then, right? Someone who wants to be a doctor has to go to grad school (med school). Someone who wants to be an architect. The idea that *all* grad school is a waste of time seems to be partially based on an anti-intellectualism; as if becoming an expert in a certain field makes you one of the bad "elites." But frankly, plenty also began disparaging grad school when the cost to attend began to skyrocket, out of all proportion to both the ability to pay of those who hoped to attend and the potential job market for graduates. College and graduate school tuition has been increasing at disturbing rates for the last 20 years or so. As much as we might value education for its own sake, it can be financial suicide to go to graduate school in some situations. -

I don't think what you have, is bamboo. Sounds like an aquatic grass of some type. Whatever it is though, you can trim the parts you don't want without any problem. In my opinion, just don't trim more than 40 percent of the plant. Good Luck Kt |
cassieg- I agree with kentuck...bamboo does not grow in the conditions you describe. I'd be interested to see what you have, though. Can you post a picture here or in the gallery section of this forum? |

Sounds like a horsetail rush (equisetum?)..... Not sure if you can trim it back or not.... Many people use horsetail rush as a bog plant, and it looks similar to bamboo. Maybe someone else here will have a little more info on that. |
sounds like you might have arundo, not really a bamboo but more of a giant grass. does it have single leaves that look more like a culm sheath and dies back in winter? |

Hi kjreif, I'm doing the same thing in my remodel, but will install a Sharp R1214 microwave. The upper cabinet will be 15' deep, and 28 3/8' high plus moulding and crown to still run even with the adjacent light rails. The MW when mounted will be one additional inch out over the 24' counter below. Has some nice features, including its own hanging utensil rod, suspended in the back and below. |

Current Courses
Fall 2014 Core Classes
Survey of the Field of Practice in Conflict Resolution: 1 Unit/14 CEU
Fri eve, 9/12 & Sat, 9/13; $225; #4458
Core class; Pat Shanahan. This course provides an overview of conflict resolution practice, including: the diverse areas of direct application of conflict resolution methods; conflict resolution as a range of processes having to do with preventing, resolving, and healing damage from destructive conflict; and application of the approaches and values of conflict resolution by practitioners in many fields such as human resources, business, education, law, health care, social work, and public service. The course includes guest speakers discussing examples of how conflict resolution is applied in a variety of careers and community endeavors. Grade only.
Registration Deadline: Friday, August 29
Communication Skills in Conflict Resolution: 1 UNIT/14 CEU
Two Saturdays, 10/11 & 10/18; $225; #4460
Core class; Lorraine Segal. Wherever people are together, having differences and conflict is inevitable. Effective communication skills can turn these conflicts into opportunities to deepen mutual understanding, solve problems creatively, and co-exist peacefully. However, most of us find it challenging to listen and communicate well while disagreeing. This class introduces skills we need to succeed. Through lecture, small group discussion, short videos, role plays, and interactive exercises, we look at basic causes and biological imperatives of conflict, learn about our own approaches to conflict, and begin learning and practicing skills and techniques to enhance and expand our conflict communication tool kit. This includes techniques for active/empathic listening, expressing our feelings and needs in ways others can hear, untangling and releasing blame and assumptions, and managing strong emotions--ours and theirs.
Registration Deadline: Friday, October 3
Negotiation I: 2 UNITS/28 CEU
Sat/Sun 11/1 & 2 and 11/15 & 16; $475; #4462
Core class; Gary Weiner. Negotiation is a part of everyday life, but few of us are familiar with the systematic steps that can lead to successful outcomes. This course introduces key factors that significantly affect the negotiation process, including: an analysis of different types of conflict and how to work with each in the negotiation setting; how to distinguish between one's own interests, issues, and positions and those of the person on the other side of the conflict; how to focus on developing procedural, relational, and substantive satisfaction about the outcome; and how to create durable, long lasting agreements. Understanding negotiation is vital preparation for mediation training. Course serves as a prerequisite for Mediation I.
Registration Deadline: Friday, October 24
Mediation I: 2 UNITS/28 CEU
Sat/Sun 12/6 & 7 and 12/13 & 14; $475; #4463
Registration Deadline: Wednesday, December 4
Core class; Gary Weiner. Conflicts surround us--in family, work, community, and the larger world. Even when people have learned how to negotiate for satisfactory resolution of conflicts, sometimes negotiations get stalled, causing great frustration to all involved and possibly leading to litigation. In these situations, mediation can help the parties move to resolution. This course systematically introduces the skills and tools you need to understand and use the mediation process. Through mediation simulations, you will learn the basic concepts and experiment with being both a mediator and a participant.
Required Books:
- Getting to Yes by Fisher, Ury, and Patton
- The Mediator's Handbook by Beer, Packard, and Stief
Independent Learning A & B
By arrangement; $308 each
Are offered in the Spring, Summer and Fall only for Conflict Resolution Certificate Program students. Registration for these classes is done through the Program Coordinator after students have completed prerequisites. For materials, please contact Beth Warner at 707-664-3977 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Registration Deadline: Tuesday, September 30

Two Saturdays, 8/23 & 9/6: $225; #4464
Elective: Amos Clifford. Restorative Justice is a process that brings together victims, offenders, and the community at large to facilitate reparation and healing. This approach is gaining acceptance in schools, courtrooms and even prisons. Learn the fundamental principles of restorative justice, its roots in indigenous cultures, and how it is being used locally and all over the United States. This course will prepare educators, youth workers, criminal justice workers, and social justice advocates to participate in the national dialogue from an informed perspective. CR/NC option.

Responding Resourcefully to Emotions in Conflict Situations: 1 UNIT/14 CEU
Sat/Sun 9/27 & 28: $250; #4461
Elective: Joy Meeker. Emotions are one of the most challenging aspects of working with conflict. This highly experiential class will review the principles of responding resourcefully to the emotions that accompany conflict, with a focus on practicing responses in a supportive learning environment. We will discuss making sense of your own emotional responses to conflict; diffusing charged emotions; enhancing your own and others' emotional intelligence; and how to support others in finding the meaning of the emotional content of their conflicts. This course will be useful to conflict practitioners as well as broadly applicable to the student's own professional and daily life. CR/NC option.

.- In an update on the condition of the sextuplets born last week in Minneapolis, hospital officials told the Associated Press that three of the children have died.
Unfortunately, three of the boys Tryg, Bennet, and Lincoln have already passed away. The surviving children, two girls and a boy, remain in critical condition as of Sunday evening.
The parents, Brianna and Ryan Morrison, released a statement saying it has been "a difficult week" for them, and that they thanked everyone for their prayers and support.
"We continue to trust in the Lord and are hopeful for a good outcome for Cadence, Lucia and Sylas," the statement said
The four boys and two girls were born last Sunday about 4½ months early at a Minneapolis hospital. Doctors had encouraged the couple to abort all but two of their children, but they refused.

Send Atour a message explaining your needs and you will receive a response by email. Have you already emailed Atour or another tutor? If so, you have an account! Sign in now
If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
Hello, my name is Atour, and I have B.A. in Mathematics from CSUN. I also hold credentials in Single Subject Math. Algebra was my favorite subject in high school. I enjoy any challenge to solve algebra problems.
I have experience with tutoring students with different level of performing for ten years. I know how to approach a problem and explain to students so they can do it. I have worked in High School and middle school as a math tutor and I have seen first hand how students are struggling with even the easy notion of solving an equation. When I questioned them I saw that they are struggling also with long division, multiplication tables, and had no idea what negative numbers are. That is why I always make sure that my students have a clear vision of the basic math before going deep into other areas.
I have always liked the challenges resulting from Math and I encourage my students, too, to embrace the challenges and try to solve the problems either by self-studying or asking someone who may know the answer or make some searches and see if they are satisfied with what they find.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have tutored many students for Algebra 1 in high School, middle school and in private institution. I'm familiar with students misconceptions and weakness in the subject.
Most of my students have succeeded with grade A, after I have tutored them.
I had two classes of Linear Algebra in CSUN and I passed those classes with A's. I have also tutored a couple of students in linear algebra.
Standard Hourly Fee: $30.00
If you commit to 5 sessions of 2 hours, your rate will be $25.00.
Atour will travel within 10 miles of Panorama City, CA 91402.
Your first hour with any tutor is protected by our Good Fit Guarantee: You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Atour B. passed a background check on 1/26/13. The check was ordered by Atour through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Atour, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.

text: I suggested this a while ago (I work for a company who precision screen print electronic circuits and medical sensors). I think it would work well for paper emulsion but any marks left by the mesh would not be good for a film emulsion due to the enlargement involved unless there was some way of re-flowing it after printing. Not sure if there would be drying in problems either. Definitely worth a go though.

Sonic. Sonic The Hedgehog. It's the ultimate battle between two of gaming's biggest icons. Sonic v Mario. Spin Attack v Spin Jump. In fact, if you travelled back to 1992 and showed these screenshots to kids in a playground, they'd probably spit their Dairylea triangles out in disbelief before declaring you a witch and stoning you to death with a lethal cocktail of conkers, pogs and Panini stickers. Perhaps it's best not to do that, then.
Announcements in gaming don't come much bigger than Sonic in a Super Smash Bros game. He is, or was, the anti-Nintendo, after all. Yet here he is, coming on all strong with his teetering-on-the-edge animations and his screeching-to-a-halt SFX, ready to 'run rings' (ahem) around Mario, Link and friends. This was the main story to come out of Nintendo's big pre-Christmas conference and, despite the fact there's room for more secret challengers (Captain Olimar's heavily rumoured at the moment), it was the one that got everyone talking.
Entering the fray
As well as confirming the online co-op mode, Nintendo finally - finally! - allowed us to get our busy hands on a playable demo of the game. Our verdict? It's absolutely brilliant. And with that concise critique of Smash Bros Brawl's gameplay hurdled, we can concentrate on telling you how it works.
As was promised at Brawl's big reveal 18 months ago, you can control your character using either the classic controller, the remote (on its side, Virtual Console style) or your dusty old GameCube controller. And even if you're picky, we've been promised that you'll be able to fully customise the buttons, so there's no excuse for not finding a control 'solution' that's right for you.
Not that much customisation is needed. Although there weren't any GameCube controllers lying around (which we maintain will still be the choice of champions), we found that even the most basic control method - the remote on its side - was surprisingly comfortable in practice. As you'd expect, it does struggle at times due to a lack of buttons: blocking on the trigger is awkward but surmountable, while the weapon-disposal function has been mapped to the useless minus button, so be prepared to get familiar with the Home menu. Nevertheless, it's perfectly serviceable and will, if nothing else, cut down on the cost of hosting an inter-family scrap.
Nintendo has circumvented the button drought dilemma by assigning normal attacks to 1 and specials to 2. Holding a direction down on the D-pad while pressing one of these buttons gives the Wii a sense of context, enabling, with some practice, fluid and easy control of your character (of which 14 were available for selection in the version we played, including a certain Mr S. T. Hedgehog).
New kids on the block
Having taken the reins of some of the new challengers, it looks like they'll all prove worthwhile additions. Meta Knight, for example, was an unlikely candidate for 'Best Newcomer'. He glides around the field as though he's wolfed down a hive of angry bees, and unleashes death upon colleagues via a controllable whirlwind attack.
Other newcomers such as Diddy Kong and Pit proved equally as nippy, but there were signs that certain manoeuvres of theirs (in particular, Pit's ability to flap up into the sky) will open up the kind of exploitative tactics that will have us weeping as soon as we get the thing online.
Our hands-on time confirmed that Brawl is little more than a refined version of Melee, but that's far from a bad thing, particularly in a game so rammed with classic Ninty characters that you're seemingly witness to a new magical experience every 10 seconds or so. Now all we need are cameos from the likes of Kyogre, Drill Dozer and That Girl From Sin And Punishment? Bring. It. On.

LOPEZ: What was your lesson from seeing your father in jail for writing? It might have made some young boys look for a different career.
AKYOL: I think it showed the eight-year-old me that there are tyrants in the world, and they can hurt your beloved ones for no reason. It also taught me, as I figured later, that secularism is no guarantee for freedom or democracy. (It was the all-secular Turkish military, after all, which imprisoned hundreds of thousands of Turks and tortured many of them.)
Here is another point: In the past decade, Americans have repeatedly heard the stories of ex-Muslims such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali, explaining how they, in their childhood, were oppressed by some ruthless cleric in a radical madrassa. My story reminds them that Muslim kids can be oppressed by some ruthless officer in a secular garrison as well. When people see both of these stories, perhaps, they might feel that the problem with tyranny is not a direct problem with Islam.
AKYOL: Yes, it does worry me. But I was more worried in the '90s, when death squads, on the orders of Turkey's overbearing generals, were assassinating journalists. What I mean is that press freedom has always been attacked in Turkey, and things are actually better now than they were before. This should not minimize today's problems, but it should put them in context. The basic trouble is that we have illiberal laws about "insulting state officials" or "spreading terrorist propaganda," and courts are often aggressive in executing them.
Moreover, the recent impression that whoever criticizes the AKP goes into jail is simply not true. A few journalists are in custody (wrongly in my view) for allegedly taking part in coup schemes, whereas most others are accused for pro-PKK propaganda, or membership in Marxist-Leninist terror groups.
LOPEZ: The murder last year of Catholic bishop Luigi Padovese doesn't suggest everything is as peachy for Christians in Turkey as you paint it, does it?
AKYOL: No, it is not peachy at all. Not just Bishop Padovese, but also Fr. Andrea Santoro and three Protestant missionaries were brutally killed in Turkey in the past decade. But please note that these murders were committed by ultra-nationalists, not Islamists. (In Turkey, the Islamist movement has been largely peaceful, whereas violence has been a hallmark of Kurdish separatists, Turkish fascists, and the Communists.) It might be worthwhile to note that some of the people suspected of arranging the killing of the three missionaries in eastern Turkey were also the same people who are on trial for conspiring a military coup against the AKP.
LOPEZ: You write, "An effective way for Westerners to render Islamism and jihadism ineffective would be to convince the world's Muslims that Islam as a religion is not under attack. An additional reassuring message would be that Muslims are also not targets of enmity, insult, or discrimination in the West — and that their mosques, minarets, and veils are not banned." In a perfect world, there will be no enmity or insult, but we live here. So if we're not extra nice to Muslims a bomb will explode — figuratively or literally?
AKYOL: Well, if you ask me, "Mustafa, what can we do to help calm down extremism among your co-religionists," I will give you the suggestion that you just quoted. But this does not mean that those Muslims would be justified to attack you, no matter how unkind you might sound to them. That's why, in my book, I say that in an ideal world, everybody would respect each others' sacred values, but the world is not ideal, and Muslims will face offensive words or cartoons, yet they should still be calm and peaceful, as the Koran tells them.

The influence of Arizona moms and dads on the state's graduation rate starts at home, one education leader believes.
As a report this month shows Arizona lagging again behind other states, Expect More Arizona's Erin Hart points to the need for parents to take a deeper role in understanding what's happening in schools and demand higher expectations in the classroom for all.
"I think it's helpful for parents to be aware of this and strive for change for not only their child, but all students in Arizona," she said. "The parent, besides the teacher, is the No. 1 influence for students in education. I think a parent can support a world class education for not only their own child, but others as well."
As reported earlier this week in the Tribune, nearly 75 percent of the Class of 2010 received a diploma nationwide. That's the latest data collected for "Diplomas Count 2013," a report released by Education Week in early June. That was a jump to graduation levels not seen since the 1970s.
But Arizona's graduation rate dropped five points to 67 percent. The lowest graduation rates are New Mexico and the District of Columbia, which both fall below 60 percent. Vermont and North Dakota lead the nation with graduation rates of 85 percent and 84 percent, respectively.
Arizona sits in the bottom fifth of all reporting states.
"Something that is encouraging is that the national average is improving. It's at highest point since the 1970s. Something that is discouraging is that Arizona is falling behind," Hart, the COO for Expect More Arizona, said.
Hart's background is in parent engagement and policy programs. She previously worked at the national Parent Teacher Association.
The state can improve its graduation rate and demand more of children's education, Hart believes. But much work starts in the home with simple steps like assuring a student attends class and does homework.
"Make sure their child goes to school every day. I know this sounds like an easy thing, but if a child is not in school, he doesn't have an opportunity to learn," she said. "If you look at dropouts, a trend is students who end up dropping out aren't in school enough. They don't go to class."
Parents also need to set education as the priority in the home and make sure that message is conveyed to students, Hart said.
Hart pointed to a different study done that asked high school dropouts about the parental influence in their lives.
"Students were asked, 'How do you wish your parents were involved?' They resoundingly said they wished their parents were more involved and set high expectations so they could rise to the challenge," Hart said. "I know students may put on airs they don't want that, but they do."
Finally, Hart said parents should get to know their child's teacher and what's happening in the classroom.
"By doing that parents can help keep their child on track and they can help reinforce what the child is learning in the classroom at home. It's important for parents to be proactive … so they can be partners of their child's learning alongside their teacher."

I just finished installing front 5100's set at 2.5" and rear 1.5" blocks. The truck looks great and the install was a breeze from the last Tacoma! I'll attach pics to this post. My question was regarding alignment. Took it to the shop and got the alignment done, they gave me the first sheet attached. I asked why the caster wasn't in spec, and asked if they could put it at least within spec. 2nd time of the lift the gave me the next sheet saying they got everything within spec and I was good to go! I was late to work so got out of there. If you look at the second sheet now you can see that yes the shop did get the left in spec, but the right they seemed to change the specs that it should be within to be within spec. Check the pics.
Now I really don't know what to do. The truck drives fine. No real reason for me to take it back other then the fact it is still not within spec. will the .9 value on the right side really matter in the long run?
I have 265 70 17 on the truck.

General Technique: When smelling an empty hop sachet while driving on your way to work, be mindful not to laugh through your nose, lest you blow the remaining hop resin from the bottom of the sachet up into your eye causing temporary blindness and less-than-temporary pain.
Hmm I never thought of keeping those hop sachets around to smell throughout the week! Of course I've kept a few around here and there, but that is a great idea...get your hop fix all day long! Sorry to hear you blew it in your eye though!
Which hop? I bet the aroma was great.......

If your experience was anything like my memory of trying to take a dip of old dry Copenhagen with the windows down at 65 mph, I'm glad you survived and are still around to warn the others. It's amazing how difficult driving becomes when one of your eyes immediately turns into a burning shower head!
I like a little more beer in my beer.
fantastic air freshener idea ;P
Why is no one else questioning why someone would be sniffing a hop bag while driving to work? Oh right, we brew beer.
When did we start calling bags sachets?
Should have used a muslin bag and none of this would have happened. Safety first... or last - what ever still funny!
