You may remember that I was in the hospital a few weeks ago with a rapid heart rate and stomach virus. Little did I know that the next two weeks would be spent in doctors offices filled with follow up appointments. My doctor in the hospital recommended I see a GI doctor about some digestive issues I had been dealing with over the past 9 months. So I went to my new GI doctor and she recommended I have a colonoscopy and an endocosopy. So I spent a day on an air-plane back to Atlanta from a work trip to Boston on a liquid diet and started drinking that stuff when I landed in Atlanta. Everyone told me the prep part would be the worst and they were right. The next day, I went in for my procedure which was a piece of cake. After waking up from my procedure the doctor went over my results and told me she thought I had a very mild Crohn's Disease. I hadn't even heard of Crohn's Disease until the guy I'm dating and I were talking about it a few days prior.
The way it was described to me is basically my immune system is attacking it's self in a small area of my intestine. With proper diet and medicine the disease can be treated but not cured permanentely. With stress Crohn's can flare up which is what I have been going through. The goal at this point is to put my body in remission. Because my condition is in such a small area and very mild, I have a good chance of putting it in remission for years.
So I worked with two dietitian friends to create a diet for me and I'm planning out ways to eliminate stress. As much as I love food and wine, I have to rethink how I incorporate those in my diet. So the recipes on my blog will be taking a 360 degree over the next few months as I get my health back in order. I'm also working on my time management skills so that the blog is better organized. I think this is a way of God slowing me down to soak up my surroundings and show I don't always have to do everything. I often overload my days with work and spending evenings at events around town. So I've been spending these past few weeks reflecting on my diagnosis.
I would love to hear from my readers who may have crohn's or know someone who has it. My family and friends have been amazing so far during this difficult time.
7 Comments on Living with Crohn's Disease
I'm sorry you are having to go through this but it is amazing that you are looking to the positives in the situation. I have a good friend that was diagnosed with Crohn's a few years ago and I think that every day is a learning experience regarding what foods work best in her diet. I've definitely heard stories of people changing their diets and being symptom-free for a very long time!
Thank you for be wiling to open up about your health challenges. You will inspire others!
Wishing you well Jewel! Changing out dietary habits isn't easy but I know you'll find a way to enjoy food that is right for your body. Feel better soon!
I read the title and my heart just dropped. *sigh* My mother has Chron's Disease, and yes reducing your stress is the #1 most important thing when having this autoimmune disease. I'm definitely praying for you and let me know if you ever have any questions or just need to talk. *insert huge hug* Also I know of a young woman who also has Chron's who would be a great resource should you want to speak with a young person who has been living with the disease for awhile. Just let me know.
I pray that everything goes smoothly as you make the necessary changes in your life!
Hello. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis when I was 11 and now am in some sort of limbo between it and Crohn's. I go into remission for about a year and then come out because mine is severe and there's not a ton that can be done about it. I am trying out traditional Chinese medicine soon (acupuncture and herbs), so fingers crossed on that.
I'm 24 now and have been chugging along. I know tons of tips, tricks, and the like. If you ever want someone to scream at or hug, give me a shout.
I know all about it, from the gross to the sad to the painful. Haha.
Shoot me an e-mail if you ever wanna talk.
Hi there… I just read this post and I just wanted to wish you well. I know a couple of people with very, very bad cases of Crohn's and I also used to work for the Gastroenterology department at a local hospital so I've seen people who have had really bad bouts with the disease.
You are right in taking control of it right from the start. Reduce your stress and watch your diet and you can control it for a long. I wish you the very, very best!!!

Dear all,
Can anyone please explain how to propagate Sweet Almond Verbena? Is there any particular successful method? I am used to propagate roses but never done anything else. I love the fragrance of SAV and I would like to have more in my yard. Please advise. Thank you, |

Root it just like you would a rose. This roots VERY easily! And quickly! And then grows and starts blooming in a hurry! Lemon verbena does the same thing, which makes sense since they are related. |
- Posted by Kristi 9a(firstname.lastname@example.com) onThu, Mar 29, 07 at 2:32
When you say propagate just like a rose, do you mean in root hormone and a small 4" pot or trying the jar method? I have this lovely plant and would like to start cuttings for friends. |
- Posted by cweathersby NE TX 7b/8a (My Page) on Fri, Mar 30, 07 at 21:58
This rooted so easily for me that I am sure that any method would work. I used rooting hormone and stuck them under the mister. But a small pot sealed in a bag would work the same way. |

Hello Everyone,
I am a new member and I would really appreciate some help. I have two geraniums in my garden. One is from a clipping from a "wild" plant and the other was bought. For a while they were both growing nicely, but now the bought one has shrank in size and they both have holes in their leaves. What should I do? Thanks! Ania |

There are several insects which could do this, but most likely it is slugs. I have attached a link to an article. Handpicking, baiting, and trapping are all good methods of control. You need to start this in late spring next year to get them before they damage the plants. once the plants are damaged, it is not reversable. |
Here is a link that might be useful: slugs and snails - article

Dr. Jodi Kinney and the highly trained staff at Intrinsic Chiropractic Center keep bodies properly aligned with their wide range of corrective services. The path to skeletal wellness starts with a consultation and exam, during which a doctor of chiropractic determines the state of each patient's muscles, joints, and dormant superpowers. A series of spinal scans unveils any kinks that may be in the way of overall well-being through thermographic and electromyographic readings, following up with any necessary x-rays. The massage takes place during a second appointment, after the doctor has had time to review the results of the examination and spinal scan. Armed with the doctor's notes, a talented massage therapist kneads muscles and manipulates joints to relieve tension and pain throughout the body, restoring the mobility needed for underwater slam-dunk competitions. This Groupon also covers the cost of a follow-up appointment to review the results of the exam, should the doctor discover any ailment that could be improved with additional chiropractic care.
For more than 20 years, TanFastic's multiple award-winning tanning studio has bronzed bodies under the trained spritzes of pro spray tanner Dina Gordon and the UV-filled bulbs of multilevel tanning beds. After wandering into private sunrooms, patrons kick back on beginner-to-advanced Level 2 beds to dream about vacations on the sun while picking up beautiful base coats. Both locations come equipped with the 12-minute Pryzma, which is outfitted with four UVA facial tanners, and the nine-minute Diva Tower, a stand-up booth that accommodates taller tanners with 2-meter lamps. Beauty seekers who have sworn off the sun can still catch its kisses with UV-free VersaSpa. During the 15-minute sunless session, a heated airbrush system glides evenly across the bodyscape as a blend of aloe and organic DHA adheres to the epidermis for a natural-looking, streak-free tan that lasts five to seven days.
Rose. Jasmine. Cocoa butter. Those are just a few of the decadent essential oils and rubs that are part of the soothing massage experience at Absolute Haven. Here massage therapists nurture and ease muscle pain with a variety of massage modalities, including their signature aromatherapy massages that include some of the above scents. Aside from their signature massage work in deep tissue, hot stone, and prenatal massages, the team also treats clients' other needs. Some come to soothe their feet with a paraffin foot wrap and others benefit from having stuffed sinus passages cleared with a eucalyptus and peppermint treatment. Facials and nail care also add their own a beautifying edge to the pampering work done here.
With enough space to accommodate groups, Radiance Spa makes it easy to plan a tranquil retreat to celebrate bachelorette parties, birthdays, or finally getting the last clown out of your car. Whether coming with a group or flying solo, clients find deep relaxation during mani-pedis and chair massages as the soothing strains of harp music fill the space.

My most popular service is the 60-minute Swedish Massage. I feel that clients love this massage because, in addition to the light, relaxing massage, I incorporate a little pressure to relieve some of the tension in the client's body.
Talented hairstylists Danni, Renee, and Naeemah run the show at South Jersey House of Beauty, where they reinvent their customers' looks with chic haircuts and color treatments. After discussing style goals with the client, the trio will get work, either snipping off split ends or revamping hues with full color treatments or luminous highlights. They skip the scissors all together while applying extensions, straightening hair with relaxers, or creating simple press and styles.

There are times when I have to paint fast before the paint dries, encouraging the colors to mix and blend. Other times I carefully and patiently fill in the lines with thin glazes, creating patterns that move the eye playfully in and out and over the surface of the canvas. Often I begin to bring the background shapes into the foreground by outlining them in strong colors. The pale reflection that should have remained in shadow suddenly floats boldly on the surface, disturbing our visual expectations.
Throughout this process I stand back every so often to check and see what the painting requires next. I may stay with a single canvas for several days, or work on two or three at a time. The closer I come to the finish, the more time I spend looking and the less painting.
When is the painting finished? Sometimes I know immediately when I stand back, other times I hang it on a white wall and live with it for a week before I know for sure. If it is not finished, something about it will make me uneasy-perhaps the composition or balance of color, or a particular section that needs reworking. When I like the painting more each time I see it, then I know it's done.

Driving the ML350 Bluehybrid in "S" mode, with the stepped gear shifts, it felt pretty much like any other M-class, especially since the cold weather was forcing the engine to remain on for more of the time. Pussyfooting around in "E" mode, I did manage some fully electric operation, but never to 34 mph (during my half-hour of city driving in the vehicle, the battery state of charge graphic never showed very far above half full and the fuel economy on the trip computer read 21.8 mpg). EPA certification isn't complete yet, but given that the Chevy and Dodge units managed to boost city fuel economy by 36-40 percent, let's assume the high end of M-B's target range (30 percent) for city. Highway goes up only five percent on Chevy, zero on Dodge, so let's guess maybe 1 mpg there, bringing our fearless prediction to 20/21 mpg city/highway. (Remember, your mileage may vary!)
Drivability on this prototype, which is still undergoing development changes, felt impressively smooth. The engine fired seamlessly, the brake actuation was completely linear, with no noticeable handoff between regenerative and hydraulic retardation. The one area in which there may be room for improvement: the hybrid system graphics are totally "last-generation." Just a simple power-flow diagram indicating battery charge level, and a bar-chart fuel-economy graphic (that also shows the amount of energy regenerated each period as green bars below the zero line). We've tasted the 2010 Ford Fusion interface, and its EV-threshold notification, accessory load graphics, etc. have established a new benchmark.
There's no word yet on pricing, but converting an engine with variable valve timing to run the Atkinson cycle shouldn't cost any more than introducing cylinder-shutoff to a single-cam pushrod engine, so perhaps the roughly $3500-$3600 Chevy and Dodge charge is a good estimate. In any case, expect the ML350 Bluehybrid to price out between the ML320 Bluetec diesel and ML550 V-8.

Goodell can't ever envision himself resigning
NFL controversies, particularly the botched handling of the Ray Rice case, have led to calls in some quarters for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to resign. He says that will never happen.
Asked at his "State of the League" press conference whether there's any set of circumstances that would result in his resignation, Goodell said he can't imagine that happening.
"No, I can't. Does that surprise you?" Goodell said.
Goodell did acknowledge that even though the NFL's popularity has never been greater, he hasn't had the best of years.
"It's been a tough year on me personally," Goodell said. "It's been a year of what I would say is humility and learning. We, obviously as an organization, have gone through adversity. More importantly, it's been adversity for me. We take that seriously. It's an opportunity for us to get better. It's an opportunity for us, for our organization, to get better. We've all done a lot of soul searching, starting with yours truly."
That soul searching has apparently not included ever asking himself whether he's the right person for the job. In Goodell's mind, he absolutely is — and that won't change.
Jimmy Graham says current plan is no shoulder surgery
Before the Pro Bowl, Saints tight end Jimmy Graham said his participation in the annual all-star game will help determine whether he needs surgery on the shoulder he injured early in the regular season.
After the Pro Bowl, Graham told PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio that the current plan is to continue to rest and rehab the shoulder without surgery.
Graham said plenty more during his slot as the final guest in a week full of excellent conversations, from his aggressive approach to pick-up basketball to his love of flying to how the movie Top Gun sparked his passion for flying and provided the template for his first kiss.
The six-foot, seven-inch Graham also said he was first able to dunk a basketball when he was merely five feet, eight inches tall.
In all, Graham was loose, relaxed, funny — something that doesn't come through very much while he's bringing the same intensity to football that he does to basketball.
Patriots won't hold Saturday walk-through; Belichick happy with team's approach
Saying the Patriots were "as ready as we're going to be" from a practice standpoint, coach Bill Belichick indicated Friday the club would cancel its Saturday walk-through practice, according to the media pool report of the workout.
The Pats also scrapped their Saturday walk-through before Super Bowl XLVI.
According to media pool reporter Jarrett Bell of USA Today, Belichick believes his club has a good mindset entering Sunday.
"These guys have worked hard," Belichick said. "I think they're ready to go. We're playing a good team, so we're going to have to play well."
The Patriots practiced as some rain fell Friday at the Cardinals' practice facilities in Tempe, but the club did its work outside. The club did retreat inside, however, to take a break of about 30 minutes to simulate the longer-than-usual Super Bowl halftime.
Finally, Belichick noted that the club was in good shape health-wise as the Super Bowl nears.
"We're all good to go," Belichick said.
Goodell addresses improvements to officiating
As a postseason in which officials were a focal point comes to a close, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says some improvements to officiating may be on the way.
Goodell said at his "State of the League" press conference that the NFL will examine ways to make officiating better for the 2015 season.
"We are looking at other ways to enhance replay and officiating," Goodell said. "That includes potentially expanding replay to penalties if it can be done without more disruption to the pace of the game. And we are discussing rotating members of the officiating crews during the season as a way to improve consistency throughout our regular season and benefit our crews in the postseason. In officiating, consistency is our number-one objective."
Achieving consistency is easier said than done, because consistency has been lacking in NFL officiating for a long, long time. But it's good to know that the NFL realizes that officiating is something that needs to be improved.
NFL tempts fate with inability to handle scandals properly
Over the years, the NFL's Commissioner has navigated plenty of difficult situations that could have tested the tenuous balance between the Commissioner's role as the overseer of the sport and his job as employee of the owners of the teams he oversees. Through it all, an inherent conflict of interest has existed, hiding in plain sight and generating scant scrutiny or concern: How can the Commissioner be expected to police the very people for whom he works?
It's an obscure, nuanced question, causing few to notice the dilemma faced by the master who is also a servant. And while in most past cases the Commissioner has found a way to solve problems without making conspicuous the delicate ground on which he often treads, the recent bungling of cases like the Ray Rice fiasco and #DeflateGate eventually will cause someone with real political power to notice the fundamental flaw in the structure of the league — and to suggest a solution that would entail a greater degree of independence for the Commissioner.
For the NFL (and other pro sports), a truly independent governing body would be the only way to reliably ensure that all problems would be handled consistently and all franchises treated fairly, without regard to friendship or influence or other factors that could cause a Commissioner to exercise discretion in a way that protects and/or advances the Commissioner's relationship with a given owner. As it now stands, the NFL (and other pro sports) have a Commissioner who at times pretends to be the representative of all interested constituencies when, in reality, he's the guy working for the folks who own the teams.
While an election process for Commissioner, with owners, players, coaches, and maybe others voting on the person who would rule the sport, would create plenty of challenges, a broadening of the pool of people who pick the Commissioner would help to alleviate the obvious problem faced by someone who is expected to impose discipline against someone who has a direct, 1/32nd voice in the compensation and/or ongoing employment of the Commissioner. The far bigger wildcard for the NFL (and other pro sports) would arise from a decision by Congress to create an office or a board responsible for supervising the sport, enforcing the rules, and punishing those who cheat.
Before the "doesn't Congress have anything better to do?" crowd gets too cranked up, the ongoing growth of the NFL — coupled with the benefits it receives from federal legislation that makes the league office a non-profit operation and that exempts the NFL from antitrust laws when it comes to the marketing of TV rights — could eventually compel action, if the NFL can't properly govern itself. In recent months, the league has undermined considerably public confidence in its ability to clean up its own messes. At some point, a politician will suggest that someone else should police the sport.
While still an incredibly unlikely outcome, the league's mishandling of recent crises at least puts the potential debate in a corner of the radar. More mistakes could move the subject closer to the center of the screen.
Goodell says NFL is still looking at changing extra points
After another season in which more than 99 percent of extra points were successful, the NFL is looking at ways to make it harder.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said today that he wants to continue exploring ways to make extra points more exciting.
"Fans want every play to have suspense," Goodell said. "But the extra point has become virtually automatic. We have experimented with alternatives to make it a more competitive play, and we expect to advance these ideas through the Competition Committee this offseason."
Extra points were made harder at the Pro Bowl by moving them farther back from the goal posts, and by making the goal posts four feet narrower. The game's kickers didn't like that change, but it did make extra points more interesting.
But is the league ready to take such a step in the regular season? And has the league fully considered the effect that narrower goal posts would have on field goals? It's clear that Goodell would like to see extra points become more interesting, but it's unclear whether the NFL has found the right change to make.
Las Vegas sports book takes "seven-figure wager" on Patriots
You may very well like the Patriots to win Super Bowl XLIX.
But you probably aren't quite as confident as the bettor who placed an absolutely gigantic wager on New England at an MGM Resorts International sports book in Nevada.
According to Micah Roberts of "The Linemakers" of Sporting News, MGM took a "seven-figure wager" on the Patriots over the Seahawks in Sunday's Super Bowl.
Jay Rood, the vice president of race and sports at MGM, told PFT the bet was a wager on New England at pick 'em.
MGM did not receive a single million-dollar bet on last year's Super Bowl, Rood said.
The Patriots are one-point favorites over Seattle at numerous Nevada sports books, including MGM's properties, which include The Mirage and Bellagio.
Eric Winston apologizes for his shot at Roger Goodell
NFL Players Association President Eric Winston took a shot at NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell today, but it didn't take Winston long to back down.
Shortly after Winston told Tom Curran of CSNNE.com that a 2-year-old could do Goodell's job, Winston issued an apology.
"In a casual conversation with a reporter about the success of the NFL and how nothing seems to get in its way, I inappropriately and flippantly made a remark about the job of Commissioner Goodell," Winston said in a statement passed along to PFT. "We often disagree on the issues but I want to apologize to Roger for being unprofessional. I am disappointed that my comment was taken out of context and inserted into a column without any knowledge that the conversation was 'on-the-record.' I am disappointed that this reporter chose to burn me, but this is an important lesson that I will learn going forward. This is my fault and again, I apologize."
If Winston didn't realize that his conversation with Curran was on the record, that's Winston's problem, not Curran's. When a journalist talks to a source, the conversation is presumed on the record unless both parties explicitly agree that it's off the record. If Winston didn't want his comments published, he shouldn't have said anything unless and until he and Curran agreed to keep their conversation off the record. For Winston to complain that Curran "chose to burn me" doesn't hold much water. Curran asked a question to a source and then published the source's answer. That's what reporters do.
The NFLPA walks a fine line when dealing with Goodell: The league is often heavy-handed in its dealings with the players, and when that happens the players need to push back against Goodell. But antagonizing Goodell can be counterproductive for the union. Winston seems to realize that he burned himself with his comments.
Kam Chancellor added to last injury report of the year
The final injury report of the season is out, and it's not a dramatic one.
Which, of course, is part of the reason these two teams are here.
The only real change on the report Friday is that Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor was listed as a limited participant in practice today with a knee injury, after not previously appearing on the report.
But he's listed as probable for Sunday's game, as are five other teammates: Tackle Justin Britt (knee), running back Marshawn Lynch (back), cornerback Richard Sherman (elbow), guard J.R. Sweezy (ankle) and safety Earl Thomas (shoulder).
The Patriots list is slightly longer, but doesn't contain anything major.
Center Bryan Stork, who has been limited in practice this week with a knee injury, is listed as questionable.
Six other Patriots are listed as probable for the game: Linebacker Akeem Ayers (knee), quarterback Tom Brady (ankle), linebacker Dont'a Hightower (shoulder), defensive tackle Chris Jones (elbow), cornerback Darrelle Revis (not injury related) and defensive tackle Sealver Siliga (foot).
Brady's on the report as he often is, but has been listed as a full participant in practice all week.
The lack of news on the injury report is good news, as the two best teams in the league get to see each other near their best.
Carroll, Belichick disagree on whether the Super Bowl is "fun"
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and Patriots coach Bill Belichick showed mutual respect at their joint press conference this morning, but they also showed what different men they are. That was true from the very beginning, when Carroll enthused at the start of the press conference about how much fun he was having, and then Belichick offered that he wouldn't describe this week as "fun."
"It's been nothing but fun," Carroll said. "The opportunity that presents itself playing in this game is so special and so unique. Everybody is tuned in and we're grateful for being here. Thrilled to have the matchup that we have with a great organization in Bill and New England."
Belichick replied: "I don't think fun is the word that I'd use. It's been a huge challenge. It's a tough team to prepare for, but I certainly have all the respect in the world for them. I could see why they were champions last year and why they are here again this year. They do so many things well on so many levels and we're going to have to try to match that performance on Sunday. With that being said, our team's excited. They've worked very hard to get to this point."
Carroll and Belichick are fundamentally different coaches who have shown that there's more than one way to win. Belichick's mantra is "Do your job," and he regularly reminds his players that it is, in fact, a job. Carroll wins by reminding his players that they get to play a game for a living, and embracing the fact that football is fun.
Titans part ways with Lake Dawson
The Titans have made a significant shakeup in their front office.
Tennessee has "parted ways" with vice president of player personnel Lake Dawson, the team said Friday afternoon.
The departure of Dawson is something of a surprise. A former NFL wide receiver, Dawson had spent the last eight seasons with Tennessee. He interviewed for the Bears' G.M. role in January and also talked with the Dolphins and Buccaneers about their G.M. positions last year.
The club also announced it was changing its front office setup. Director of college scouting Blake Beddingfield and pro scouting coordinator Brian Gardner will now work directly under General Manager Ruston Webster. Previously, Dawson oversaw the pro and college scouting operations.
"This was not an easy decision and I want to thank Lake for his time with the team," Webster said in a team-issued statement Friday. "This new structure will help us streamline things from both the college and pro perspectives. We will move forward without a VP of Player Personnel and the college and pro sides will report directly to me."
The Titans finished 2-14 in 2014, the franchise's worst record since 1983. Tennessee has not made the postseason since 2008, and it has not won a playoff game since 2003.
Prop Challenge, Day VIII — Over-Under on Russell Wilson's rushing yards: 41.5
Welcome to PFT's Prop Challenge, our daily look at a Super Bowl proposition bet.
Here's the idea: we present a prop, do some light analysis, then let you decide which side to take — hypothetically, of course. (Previous examples are at the bottom of this post.)
When the Super Bowl wraps up, we'll tally the votes and see how well PFT Planet did.
Now, let's get to today's prop, which is courtesy of the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook:
Over-Under on Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson's rushing yards: 41.5.
Over: -110. Under: -110.
Including the playoffs, Wilson has averaged 49.8 rushing yards in his 18 starts.
So the OVER looks good, right?
Well, maybe not.
Take Wilson's three 100-yard rushing games out of the equation, and the third-year quarterback has averaged just 37.4 yards in his other appearances. Also, in the postseason, Wilson has gained just 47 total rushing yards on 14 attempts.
Overall, Wilson has exceeded 41.5 rushing yards in just 7-of-18 games.
In short, OVER and UNDER players have some data in their favor.
So pick a side — OVER or UNDER 41.5 rushing yards for Russell Wilson. Vote in the poll, and share your thoughts in the comments. We'll be back tomorrow with our penultimate prop.
Previous props studied:
Day I: Over-Under on Brandon LaFell's receiving yards.
Day II: Over-Under on Doug Baldwin's catches.
Day III: Will Rob Gronkowski score a touchdown?
Day IV: Will there be a one-yard TD in the Super Bowl?
Day V: Over-Under on Tim Wright's receiving yards.
Day VI: Over-Under on LeGarrette Blount's carries.
Day VII: Will there be a safety in the Super Bowl?
NFLPA president Eric Winston takes a shot at Roger Goodell
Apparently, not everyone was moved by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's press conference.
And the president of the NFL Players Association was quick to take a shot at management.
"Hey, even the worst bartender at Spring Break does pretty well," Winston said, via Tom Curran of CSNNE. "Think about it, a 2-year-old could [be NFL Commissioner] and still make money."
So, tell us how you really feel, Eric.
Goodell admitted that the last year had been a difficult one for him, and was asked Friday during the press conference if he ever considered resigning or whether he deserved a pay cut.
Not surprisingly, he didn't volunteer for either. Apparently that new bottle opener isn't going to pay for itself.
Packers fire special teams coach Shawn Slocum
The Packers gave up a touchdown on a fake field goal and saw the Seahawks recover a key onside kick during their NFC Championship game loss nearly two weeks ago and special teams coach Shawn Slocum gave up his job on Friday.
There was some talk that a change could be made following the loss and the team released an announcement on Friday afternoon that Slocum has been released. He'd been on the staff since Mike McCarthy became the head coach in 2006.
"I would like to thank Shawn for all of his contributions over the past nine years," McCarthy said in a statement. "He was a positive contributor to our success, including helping us win Super Bowl XLV. We wish Shawn, Michelle and their family the best moving forward."
The Packers hired former Florida and Illinois coach Ron Zook as an assistant special teams coach before the 2014 season, but there's been no announcement about whether he'll be elevated to replace Slocum.
Chris Harris optimistic on Manning's return, has faith in Osweiler
During his appearance on Friday's PFT Live, Broncos cornerback Chris Harris expressed optimism Peyton Manning would return in 2015, noting the lousy taste the divisional-round loss to former team Indianapolis had to leave with the future Hall of Fame quarterback.
"I believe he's coming back," Harris said. "I think nobody wants to go out losing to their former team and the new quarterback that replaced you. I don't think Peyton wants to go like that at all, so I think he'll definitely come back."
Teammate Demaryius Thomas, an earlier guest on Friday's PFT Live, was more hopeful than certain on Manning's return.
"I think he will," Thomas said of Manning playing in 2015.
But Thomas added this: "I say that because I want him back, but I really don't know."
If Manning does step aside, it could open the door for backup Brock Osweiler to take the job. A three-season understudy to Manning, Osweiler has thrown just 30 NFL regular season passes.
Both Thomas and Harris believe Osweiler is capable of stepping in if needed.
Said Thomas: "I got all the faith in Brock Osweiler. He's been around Peyton for three years now. He's grown every year he's been there."
Thomas, for his part, told PFT's Mike Florio that he would have no qualms returning to Denver if Osweiler, not Manning, were the starter. Thomas is slated to be an unrestricted free agent in March and figures to draw significant interest.
Harris, meanwhile, said he had "a lot of confidence" in Osweiler, a 6-8, 240-pound Arizona State product.
"He's kind of like a young Joe Flacco," Harris said of Osweiler. "He has that arm. I think him and (Broncos head coach Gary) Kubiak, I think they're going to fit perfect together. With the way he ran the offense with the Ravens with Joe Flacco, I see Brock as a similar quarterback."

As I have not gotten to handle a Shield as of yet, I am wondering about the difference in size and grip thickness, if there is any, between the Shield and the M&P9c. Having only looked at pictures of the Shield I have to admit, it really doesn't look like it is all that much smaller or thinner that the M&P9c.
Are there any side by side size comparison photos that anyone knows of that I could look at?

The federal government is poised to tighten regulation of hydraulic fracturing — the drilling method behind the boom in U.S. natural gas production — by proposing to revise rules affecting 700 million acres of federal and Indian mineral lands.
After its initial proposal in May 2012 brought criticism from all sides, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) revised its proposal and sought public comment, which ended in August of this year. (The bureau's existing rules were established in 1982, prior to the current boom in hydraulic fracturing.) Opponents, including some state regulators, argue that the new regulations will set up a burdensome dual system for approving drilling operations.

"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"I've received this stickers in four days; although, I wasn't expecting them till a week or so. But love the shipping since it was fast. I'm going to use this as part of my daughter's 1st birthday favors and the quality and the way it looks is perfect!"
"The address labels are very nice!!! It was extremely easy to customize. I also ordered the matching invites in addition to the address labels (check out my reviews on those items). Lastly, I was due to receive my order on 3/15 but received it ALL on 3/7. Yay!!! You won't be disappointed if you go decide to order these gift tags. FYI, I needed to purchase a few more sheets of gift tags and customer service was so very accommodating and were able to add to my order since it had not gone to print. Super nice reps!!!"

Amethyst Crystal (525g) Stats: 5% CDR Rigor Recipe: Amethyst Crystal (525g) + 625g = 1150g (or make it double Amethyst Crystal) Stats: 12% CDR, 7% Movement Speed and [+10 Magic Penetration OR +10% Spell vamp] Night's Fury Recipe: Rigor (1150g) + Rigor (1150g) + 575g = 2875g Stats: 25% CDR, 15% Movement Speed and [+25 Magic Penetration OR +25% Spell vamp] These items kill three birds with one stone. # Movement speed for casters (although I respect they possibly don't deserve any), # If spell vamp, an item AD Casters can buy without wasted stats # CDR without mana/mana regen (on a caster item), which players have been asking for. They consume a slot without providing any damage, which I feel is a suitable balance... or at least a fair trade. I also think the lack of damage at all stages justifies nothing being unique, but any amount of the stats could be made unique. Due to casters lacking attack speed and critical strike, I had to create a "basic item" that would build into these. Feel free to propose alternates. The Amethyst Crystal could be used in the recipe for other items such as Brutalizer (Long Sword + Amethyst Crystal, for example). Or it could not be intergrated into existing items at all. Spell vamp or magic pen? Magic doesn't have a equivalent to critical strikes.
For a second I'm sitting here like "now wait, an early game item for a stat that maxes out at 8x it's starting value? And then I remembered; CDR is always a Unique passive, so two of the same CDR item isn't useful anyway. Make the builds, instead of self-stacking, into different items. Make one suggestion build into Haunting Guise, another into Hextech Revolver, maybe have it build with Ruby Crystal into Kindlegem...oh and lower the base cost if you're going to do that last one.
Cooldown reduction is only unique at the moment because all items list it as unique. Stacking Amethyst Crystals would work, but it doesn't provide any real stats of its own. Also, if Rigor was unique then requiring two of them would be redundant. Both Hextech Revolver and Haunting Guise provide AP, which I didn't want these items to contain... otherwise AD casters can't use them. But Kindlegem is a possibility. But I was going for a glass-cannon item (like Zeal and Phantom Dancer), whilst health provides sustain. I wouldn't mind creating other items that use these items though.
The only problem with CDR is it scales very differently on different champs skills. You've got anything between the (I think) 0.5 second CD on placing Teemo's shrooms to the 180 second CD on Karthus' ultimate. That and the fact that it's just 50 gold more than you start with is like taunting people "haha, you can't get this early game, :P" make it worth more, something like 650-800 ish. That and also if CDR was in an early game item like that, it would probably change up certain item recipes. Dunno how it would work out.
To be fair, CDR is the same for every champion. A percentage is a percentage. People with large cooldowns are getting more knocked off, so they will notice the difference more. As for its price... making it affordable from the spawn is pointless, because it provides nothing for the first few levels. Yes, maybe it'll let you harass more often... but it has no damage, no sustain. There's no health, no mana, no regen, etc. It'll be purchasable from the start in Dominion. You're right, it's hard to see if it'd work from just words.
Well regarding the AD caster item, Don't we already have a brutalisers?

Paul VI
Paul VI
biographical name(born Sept. 26, 1897, Concesio, near Brescia, Italydied Aug. 6, 1978, Castel Gandolfo) Pope (1963–78). Educated at Brescia and ordained in 1920, he continued his studies in Rome, earning degrees in civil and canon law. He was a church diplomat for much of his career, until he was named archbishop of Milan in 1954. He became a cardinal in 1958, and in 1963 he was elected pope. Paul VI presided over the final sessions of the Second Vatican Council and appointed commissions to carry out its reforms, including revisions in the mass. He also relaxed rules on fasting, removed a number of questionable saints from the church's calendar, and enforced conservative positions on birth control and clerical celibacy. He promoted ecumenism and was the first pope to travel widely, visiting Israel, India, Asia, and Latin America.

The Iraq cabinet has announced its approval for two major energy contracts for its Rumaila oilfield project worth around $960.8m, Reuters has reported. The first deal, worth $535.8m, was signed with British oil service firm Petrofac to provide projects management services for the supergiant Rumaila, which pumps more than a third of Iraq's total output of over three million barrels per day (bpd). China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corp (CPECC) also won a $425m service contract to handle engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning work for a power station at Rumaila. The oilfield, the workhorse of Iraq's oil industry with 17 billion barrels in reserves, is being developed by British oil major BP and Chinese partner CNPC.

Pittsburgh home features hardwood flooring in bathroom
Pittsburgh home features hardwood flooring in bathroom
A six-bedroom home in the Highland Park section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, features a collection of luxurious features that make it especially appealing to potential homebuyers, The New York Times reports.
According to the news provider, the 5,224-square foot home is split into two units - a four-bedroom apartment over the first two floors and a two-bedroom apartment occupying the top floor. Despite the split, each of the apartments has exquisite furnishings. One of the most impressive is that the abode has 10 fireplaces, and the dining room is replete with stained glassed windows.
Perhaps the most attractive room, the news source reports, is the master bathroom. This room, which was previously a bedroom, includes hardwood flooring and a raised bathtub.
Homeowners who want to imitate this beautiful building can consider installing hardwood flooring to add an elegant atmosphere to any room. According to the National Wood Flooring Association, the material has a great aesthetic value and is extremely durable as well. Hardwood flooring has been shown to be able to last more than 100 years when properly maintained.

The bond market is often considered a much more stable and senior partner to the stock markets. For example, I have seen claims the bond market is twice the size.
So I took a look at an 80+ year history of treasury yields and inflation numbers. Ideally, since a 10-year Treasury is a risk-free asset, you would expect its yield to mainly vary according to future inflation expectations.
When you look at the history however, the error in the bond market's predictions seem quite large! The graph below shows a comparison of 10-year treasury yields against annualized future inflation over the next 10 years, followed by a graph directly showing the error between the two (it's the same data, the latter is just subtracting the red line from the blue in the first graph).
You can see that the treasuries have gone through cycles of over- and under-predicting inflation. The second graph shows this behavior best. Most recently, since the mid-1970s, long treasuries have paid much better than inflation, although the gap shrinks all the way to the last points in 2003 (the last time at which we know the future 10 years of inflation).
An additional factor to consider is that long treasury rates have never, to my knowledge, been manipulated in the way that the US government is manipulating them today. So if anything, the error where the treasuries have been paying much higher than future inflation in the past ~30 years is more likely to swing the other way by the time we can draw points for the graph at 2011, 2012, or 2013.
The only conclusion I can reach from this analysis is to stay away from long government bonds, which includes ETFs like TLT, IEF, ZROZ, etc.

Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- The following companies had unusual price changes in Mexico trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are as of the close in Mexico City.
The IPC index fell 0.1 percent to 36,708.64.
Most Mexican stocks fell amid concern yesterday's rally, driven by a European agreement on solving the debt crisis, went too far.
Alfa SAB (ALFAA MM), the world's largest producer of aluminum engine heads, fell 3 percent to 159.08 pesos, erasing yesterday's advance. Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste SAB (ASURB MM), the operator of airports in southern Mexico, fell 1.7 percent to 74.28 pesos.
Empresas ICA SAB (ICA* MM), the country's biggest construction company, surged 10 percent to 17.38 pesos, extending a rally sparked by its earnings report and renewed appetite for riskier emerging-market assets. Net income surged 1,360 percent in the third quarter to 905 million pesos, while sales grew 22 percent to 11.4 billion pesos in the period, according to results reported yesterday before markets opened.
TV Azteca SAB (AZTECACP MM), Mexico's second-largest broadcast television network, rose 0.9 percent to 7.92 pesos. TV Azteca SAB expects revenue growth to climb next year at a rate in the mid- to high-single-digit percentage points, said Bruno Rangel, the company's investor relations manager, on a conference call today.

A123 Systems & Chevy Volt
Clipped from here: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governm...ompany-Failing .
Lithium-ion battery manufacturer A123 Systems was awarded $249 million in federal government tax dollars but ended up laying off employees despite the government's cash infusion. The plant might have closed entirely if China hadn't invested an additional $465 million in the plant. Even still, its future is murky. And: Two years ago, President Obama visited the LG Chem battery plant in Holland, Michigan. He then hailed the plant, saying, "You are leading the way in showing how manufacturing jobs are coming right back here to the United States of America." But today, those LG Chem jobs Obama claimed were "coming back" are seeing intermittent layoffs instead of growth. In 2010, the plant, which supplies batteries for the Chevy Volt, received $151 million in tax money from the U.S. Department of Energy, but it has been good money after bad. UGH: Worse, Reuters has reported that Chevy loses nearly $50,000 on every Volt sold, so higher Volt sales may not even signal relief for the struggling car company. |

Ultimately A123 Systems will eventually fail unless something drastically changes. No business model where the production cost is greater then the sales price can survive. Love this quote from the EV1 article on Wikipedia: Quote:

Yeah that crazy climate-change talk. The stuff all the smart people say is real (i.e. scientists), and all the dumb ones or those with an agenda, deny. Who shall we trust? But that's a whole other debate! (I'm not calling anyone dumb by the way, it's for illustrative purposes only). There are plenty of reasons other than that to end massive oil use-- which must happen eventually anyway. And there are plenty of other ways to grow an economy other than oil absurdity.

Skip the predictable fast-food court and grab lunch (to stay or to go) in this small, futuristic space, located in MGM's District, with marble-top café tables and lime-green and orange walls. The creative sandwiches (courtesy of Tom Colicchio) include slow-roasted pork with pepper relish and fontina; flank steak with red-pepper pesto, scallions and aged cheddar; and pole-caught tuna with fennel, green olives and aioli. The soups, salads, and sweets are quite popular with
youthful clientele. A great option for (late) breakfast is the steak and fried eggs with pickled red onions and frisee. They close at 5 pm.

Paul Krugman: America's Greatest Public Health Champion? Last week the New York Times reported on a study which documents a reversing trend in life expectancy for the least educated whites in the US.
The study shows that since 1990, life expectancy for white Americans without a high school diploma has fallen by five years for women and three years for men. Reading this article, one is likely to deduce that these declines are largely the result of individual health behaviours and life style choices. Per the NYT, reasons offered by researchers for this decline include "a spike in prescription drug overdoses among young whites, higher rates of smoking among less educated white women, rising obesity, and a steady increase in the number of the least educated Americans who lack health insurance". A range of public health experts are also quoted in the piece and offer roughly the same type of behavioural explanations. Not all survival rate studies are bad. I've always been partial to the BMJ's Christmas issue.
Way back in 2007 they published a phenomenal article on medical myths. Then in 2008, they published another on festive medical myths. This year, they have another masterpiece. It's entitled, "The survival time of chocolates on hospital wards: covert observational study." Here's the abstract: L'odeur des hôpitaux et la confiture de coings. Science-Based Medicine.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 At the LORD's command, the people of Israel left the Sin Desert and moved from place to place. Eventually they came to Rephidim, but there was no water to be found there. | 1 The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to place as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. |
2 So once more the people grumbled and complained to Moses. "Give us water to drink!" they demanded. "Quiet!" Moses replied. "Why are you arguing with me? And why are you testing the LORD?" | 2 So they quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses replied, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the LORD to the test?" |
3 But tormented by thirst, they continued to complain, "Why did you ever take us out of Egypt? Why did you bring us here? We, our children, and our livestock will all die!" | 3 But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, "Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?" |
4 Then Moses pleaded with the LORD, "What should I do with these people? They are about to stone me!" | 4 Then Moses cried out to the LORD, "What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me." |
5 The LORD said to Moses, "Take your shepherd's staff, the one you used when you struck the water of the Nile. Then call some of the leaders of Israel and walk on ahead of the people. | 5 The LORD answered Moses, "Walk on ahead of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. |
6 I will meet you by the rock at Mount Sinai. Strike the rock, and water will come pouring out. Then the people will be able to drink." Moses did just as he was told; and as the leaders looked on, water gushed out. | 6 I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink." So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. |
7 Moses named the place Massah -- "the place of testing" -- and Meribah -- "the place of arguing" -- because the people of Israel argued with Moses and tested the LORD by saying, "Is the LORD going to take care of us or not?" | 7 And he called the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the LORD saying, "Is the LORD among us or not?" |

I had the best Home Depot experience today. Seriously. I had bought an organizer, but there was a wrong piece so I had to return it. Problem is that I lost the receipt. I figured I might as well just take whatever they give me in store credit and get something new. New procedure at the Depot...they can look things up by credit card! So I not only got the full refund, but they were able to give me a price difference credit on another thing I bought. Then, I saw a 10 gallon Igloo cooler on the top rack of a rack, so I asked about it. It was the only one in the store, and they were willing to get it for me. They had to get a forklift to get it down, but they were happy to do so and I ended up getting a round 10 gallon Igloo cooler for $40. I also bought a work bench that I set up, and got a hole saw so I can cut a hole in my brew kettle.
Nothing like those good trips to help offset the crappy ones.
Perchance, was that a newish store that you went to, Cheese? I always seem to have good experiences at the new, bad at the old. I've heard from people that work there that they intentionally over-staff the new stores, then let staffing die down through attrition over time.
Nope, well established place.

"What is the meaning of this!?" Another man clung to my left arm. They began pulling me back out into the rain."Margaret Petersen, you have been accused of Witchcraft!" The first man growled.

Funded with a $2.2 million grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Beyond Traditional Borders is designed to help students reach beyond traditional geographic and disciplinary boundaries to solve health-care problems in the developing world.
BTB interns Meagan Barry and Tiffany Yeh were the first to depart this summer, leaving the day after commencement for a four-week stay in Haiti that will be followed by a six-week program in Guatemala. Barry, a biosciences major, graduated last month. Yeh, a cognitive sciences major, will be a senior in the fall.
In northern Haiti, Barry and Yeh are implementing a health-education program for elementary students at the St. Barthelemy School in the town of Terrier Rouge. They are interacting with 450 children in classes ranging from kindergarten through fifth grade. Using in-class lessons and homework, Barry and Yeh are teaching basic hygiene and health, such as how diseases like dysentery are transmitted, as well as how common practices like hand-washing can prevent infection.
In a May 30 blog entry, Barry described a classsroom experiment in which she and Yeh used a microscope connected to a laptop computer to show the children the many germs in water from a muddy puddle. The children had to compare the dirty water to a sample of purified water. Later that afternoon, the Rice students met a man who excitedly thanked them for their work. His children attend the school, and they had already told him about the morning's lesson.
"Tiffany and I were so happy that the children were sharing their experiences with their parents and that they understood the purpose of the experiments!" Barry wrote.
Barry and Yeh will next travel to Guatemala, where they'll work for six weeks with F
