Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Anthony Pettis knows a lot of dummies (like this guy) think the key to defeating him is to replicate the blueprint laid out by Clay Guida (read it), who took a convincing unanimous decision win over "Showtime" back in June of 2011.

Pettis told MMA Fighting he's no longer susceptible to the "Carpenter"-style offense, which leaves opponents -- like surging 155-pound contender Rafael dos Anjos -- with little c read news >>
Before you dismiss Clay Guida, may I remind you "The Carpenter" holds wins over a UFC lightweight champion (Anthony Pettis), a PRIDE FC lightweight champion (Takanori Gomi), and even a Strikeforce lightweight champion (Josh Thomson).

1. Red (cranberry, flamingo pink, cardinal, etc.) projects stimulation, force and intensity. Red is like a sexy negligee for your walls — dramatic and dangerous.
2. Orange (mandarin, marigold, sweet potato, etc.) is a secondary color with conflicting emotional content. Recall a few of your second grade lessons and remember that orange is a mixture of red and yellow, boasting the charisma of both colors. Orange demands attention, yet simultaneously extends a warm invitation.
3. Yellow (mustard, sunflower, buttercream, etc.) is a strong, warm color, with pleasant and optimistic emotional content. Yellow is the least problematic color, a cheerful and non-aggressive hue. This jovial color is highly-reflective, producing expansive characteristics reminiscent of sunlight.
4. Green (avocado, kelly, grass, etc.) is a secondary color with harmonious emotional content. Green draws life from yellow, while blue lends a calming effect. One of the only unanimous forms of beauty is nature; green is the predominant color in nature — commonly regarded as the ideal color, carrying the positive charisma of all hues.
5. Blue (navy, peacock, cerulean, etc.) is the coldest color. Blue demonstrates intense relaxation, denoting simplicity, purity, dignity and truth. This hue is frequently coupled with intellectual activity; blue is contemplative, thought provoking, and meditative.
6. Violet (plum, magenta, eggplant, etc.) is a secondary color with a challenging personality. This specific combination of hues is ambivalent, as a heavy dose of tension exists within violet's conflictions of warm and cool, calm and intense. Spaces and color schemes implementing violet are often ambiguous and dramatic.
7. White (eggshell, snow, ivory, etc.) often reveals clarity, innocence, and pure simplicity. White is the perfect palette to make architectural elements sing. Nearly all colors tend to distract from and compete with architecture and furnishings, but white elevates and emphasizes style and aesthetic details. White embodies the power to transcend climate, radiating warmth and coziness in the winter and offering fresh, cool relief in the summer.
8. Black (charcoal, cast iron, pewter, etc.) is a powerful color that exhibits strength, dignity, and formality. Black can translate to the epitome of elegance and sophistication. Like white, excess black can cast the notion of emptiness or boredom, except with heavy and depressing implications.

Clark Schreibeis, a Billings professional wildlife carver/sculptor, won Best in World honors in the Decorative Life-size Division and was also chosen as Judge's Choice Best of Show at the 2013 World Fish Carving Championships at Springfield, Ill.
The championship pieces, along with more of his wildlife sculptures and paintings, will be on display during an open house at East Rosebud Fly and Tackle, 1314 24th St. W., on Dec. 7. Schreibeis will be there in the store celebrating the season and his wins from 1 to 4 p.m. The public is invited.
Schreibeis has been awarded Best of Show five times at the event. Wood carvers from around the world have competed in the biannual World Championship, the largest event of its kind.
The winning woodcarving/sculpture is a depiction of a 24-inch brown trout swimming over a snapshot of its natural river bottom habitat. At this master level of competition, all parts of the sculpture must be carved out of wood with the highest level of realism exhibited.
Schreibeis was born in Wyoming and raised in Montana and has a passion for wildlife of all types with the species of the Rocky Mountain west (and Montana's trout in particular) being his primary focus.
Being an avid fisherman and outdoorsman, much of his work is commissioned fish carvings for clients who want to capture in a wood sculpture a certain time, place, event or the thrill of catching a certain fish.
Last year Billings angler Joel Long Jr. approached Schreibeis to preserve in wood what he called his "dream fish," the fish he's always longed to catch — a 24 -inch spawning male brown trout. Realizing their shared passion for the brightly colored and elusive brown trout, Schreibeis decided to pull out all the stops and give his maximum effort in an attempt to once again win at the World Fish Carving Championships.
What makes 2013 unique for Schreibeis is that in addition to his fish carving win, he also took top honors at the World Taxidermy Championships. The events that led to that win started in 2011 when friend and client Jim Routson was fishing off the coast of Alaska for halibut.
Being a deep sea, bottom fish, halibut can be interesting because of the variety of unique species that can be caught. Being aware of this still didn't prepare Routson for what he reeled in near Sitka. Much to Routson's surprise, a 5-1/2-foot wolf eel was hoisted into the boat. A ferocious, even demonic looking head makes the wolf eel fascinating to some and loathed by others. When Schreibeis got the call to do a painted replica of this fish, he knew that it had potential to be a winner if it could be recreated with anatomical and artistic accuracy.
Since Schreibeis had already intended to compete with his carved trout, he decided to compete in the taxidermy arena with the eel.
Schreibeis was thrilled to learn at the Saturday night awards ceremony that he had not only won judge's choice Best of Show in the fish carving but also the Master of Master's taxidermy award for the wolf eel.
Schreibeis owns and operates the Clark Schreibeis Wildlife Art Studio and divides his time between sculpting in wood and bronze, doing a select few taxidermy pieces, judging competitions, teaching carving classes in his studio and around the country.

text: By Kurt Gilchrist He's not said if he's planning on making another Presidential run in 2016--but Texas Governor Rick Perry is clearly thinking about it. The Governor is in Iowa for the fourth time in eight months Monday, as many high-profile Republicans continue to test the political waters, with the Governor appearing to try to take advantage of all the recent talk about immigration. "He's come down very strong on immigration--bringing out the National Guard. I think that's helped him a lot with people especially at the more conservative end of the Republican Party" said University ot Texas-Arlington Political Scientist Allan Saxe. While it is possible Perry could decide to make a run, Saxe told 550 KTSA News there are no clear cut favorites right now. "So far in regard to Governor Perry, probably no better than third or fourth (choice among Republican voters)--but there are a lot of other political horses in the race--and none of them have broken away yet" Saxe said.

The bill is expected to go to a free vote in Australia's Parliament by Thursday. It will be introduced to Parliament by West Australian Liberal MP Mal Washer, a medical doctor who has become a passionate advocate for stem-cell research.
"While these human embryos are tiny, they will be used for parts, for stem cells, before their destruction by the 14th day," said the cardinal in column published in the Sunday Telegraph. "If the House of Representatives repeats the mistake narrowly made in the Senate, we shall be pushed further and faster down a slippery slope."
The bill passed in the Senate two weeks ago by two votes, reported The Age.
"Four years ago when Federal Parliament allowed experiments on 'excess' human embryos surplus to IVF processes, cloning was forbidden as illegal and those who then claimed we were on a slippery slope were ridiculed as alarmists," said the cardinal-archbishop of Sydney.
"Ignorance and confusion abound on these matters, but principles of long-term importance are being broken and new movable standards are being erected temporarily to be further 'improved' in the years ahead," he cautioned.
The cardinal said few Australians would know that "the bill proposes to legalize the manufacture of cloned embryos with only one genetic parent; hybrid embryos with multiple genetic parents, and embryos whose mother is an aborted girl fetus."
"Scientists propose to use the immature eggs (precursor cells) from aborted baby girls to create human embryos for experimentation and destruction," he explained.
Since embryonic stem-cell research has not produced any of the cures if promised, there is no justification for the further expenditure of government money on the research, he argued.

Sold My Boat, Now What???
Hi all,
Well, I sold my boat after two long weeks of listing it.
It happened so fast that I still have some seller's remorse.
I have been looking for a bluewater-capable cruiser for a while and now I can look in ernest (money in hand).
Boats I have looked at so far include the CSY 44, which I really like, Valiant 40, Endeavour 40, Islander Freeport 41, Gulfstar 44, Union Polaris 36, and a Cal 39. All nice boats with different things to offer.
What I am looking for is 40'+ with good build quality and room for under $100K. Speed would be a plus, cutter even better. I want to look at Tayana 37 and 42's, but have not seen any yet, and there is a Bayfield 40 in San Diego that I want to check out.
I am open to suggestions, so let 'em rip. I am in SoCal.
Cheers, Bill

But a lot of this new "stuff" is now outdated. Or worse, was never a good use of time and budget to begin with.
In this ebook, you will learn what to cut out of your marketing, as well as where you should be spending that previously wasted time.


text: By Bill O'Neil Four Red Cross volunteers from South Texas are headed to Arkansas to help out in the aftermath of the devastating tornadoes that hit portions of that state early Monday. Thed volunteers left from San Antonio in two emergency response vehicles--one from San Antonio, the other from Del Rio. They're pretty much an all purpose vehicle--but the main purpose for the Red Cross is to serve as feeding" said Rafael Aviles with the San Antonio chapter of the American Red Cross, adding the vehicles could quickly be turned in to ambiulances if the need were to arise. "We were placed on standby knowing that if the clean up were to turn out to be more than they originally thought, we would be sent out" Aviles said.

Bury defender Ben Futcher is hoping his side can take their goalscoring form into Saturday's clash at Crewe.
The Shakers edged a thrilling clash against Gillingham 5-4 last weekend, but Futcher is expecting a tighter affair against the Railwaymen.
He said: "The Crewe game will be totally different, they play a different game but it will be a tough game.
"There are no easy games away from home, and they picked up a good draw on Saturday.
"It will be tough but hopefully we can take our form with us."

Getting Fizzical!
A round of applause, ladies and gentlemen, for the ever-impressive Jennie McAlpine who seems to have been at the forefront of many storylines in the past twelve months. Gawd bless yer (oops, sorry, wrong soap . . .) Well done duck.
Of course, Fiz should be back on the outside by the end of the year but should she retain a steely countenance or is it back to weeping over her showing machine?
7 comments:
Fiz in prison is becoming a real contender for the worst story this year against some very stiff competition. Whining please stop persecuting me is not going to have an effect on criminals. It's just ridiculous.
All the tired cliches are here. Unsympathetic staff, a naive prisoner and authorities unable to protect the inmates. Words fail me. It's a pity the same did not befall the writers who penned such complete and utter rubbish.
As for the three stooges in Kirk's van, was this meant to be funny? It wasn't. It was some of the worst writing ever seen in Corrie and as entertaining as a Colonel Gaddafi radio show. Awful, awful plot, dialogue and acting. - 1 September 2011 at 23:17

Nahhh i like Fiz and i don't find this storyline that bad. I hope she does toughen up and finds her inner Cilla and i hope that carries her through to when John comes back and she gives him hell for putting her through all this.
- 2 September 2011 at 12:55
Yea, I have to agree with Tvor on this. Inner Cilla! Love it. And Tyrone's plans to help her is verging on Three Stooges comedy gold. :)
- 2 September 2011 at 19:19
Tyrone's plan to help is not comedy gold. Its painful.

Feb 22nd, 2002, 04:00 PM
I was reading about past Olympic female figure-skating champions and I noticed that Katarina Witt won in 1984 and 1988. So what years did Kristie Yamaguchi and Oksana Baiul win? Nagano was held in 1998. That means Oksana must've won it in 1994. In which year did Kristie win? If Kristie won in 1990, that means there was only a two-year gap between Witt's Olympic win and the next Olympics. If Kristie won in 1992, that means another two-year gap between Olympics. Was the 1984 & 1988 wins of Katarina's incorrect (a typo)? Was there a decision to separate the Summer and Winter Olympics at some point during these years? Maybe I'm wrong and Kristie never won an Olympic Gold medal. What's the story? I'm confused.


text: I believe the Defender is silimair to the Night Defender. I like the stock Night defender. A buddy of mine just bought one and likes it. I just wanted to know (for the night defender owners) how it runs out of the box. Any problems? did you have to run $150 worth of ammo thru it before it would function properly? The night defender I suppose is fairly new, so I cant find many places to purchase. Im just wondering about reliability out of the box. I have finally saved up the $ for my new 1911, and I am ready to make a move. Also, does Colt have good service? thnx

reviews & comments (15)
Followed the directions as written. Also went with the total measurement of yeast, not number of packages. Loved the texture and flavor of these rolls. Got rave reviews all around. Changes for next time: 1) blooming yeast instead of mixed in dry, 2) same amount of dough, half as many rolls.
I'm a little confused. It says 2- 1/4 tsp yeast from two 1/4-oz. packages. Fleischman's says each 1/4-oz. package is 2- 1/4 tsp. I'm going with the measurement rather than the count. Hope that's right....
I followed the directions, but I think they were messed up. The directions say to put the yeast in with the dry ingredients... Not normal but I tried it anyway and it was a total disaster. I want to try these again but need better instructions.

About Us
Here at Wellspring, we know recovery is possible -
and that's something worth celebrating!
Our Mission
Wellspring promotes the recovery of persons with mental illness through leadership in the development of quality housing and rehabilitation services.
Our Vision
That all persons having a psychiatric disability should have access to decent, affordable housing coupled with effective recovery-oriented treatment and rehabilitation services.
Our Values
In our programs: We are dedicated to providing recovery-oriented programming, which always incorporates client-centered, individualized care, and utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach.
In our housing: We provide high quality, well-constructed housing that assures our clients opportunities for community integration and enhances our neighborhoods.
In Our Community: We are committed to transparency through excellence in program practices and outcomes, and excellence in employment and financial management. All aspects of the agency's operations are overseen by our volunteer Board of Directors, comprised of community leaders, mental health professionals and concerned family members.
Wellspring was founded by a small band of community leaders, mental health professionals and parents who joined together to address the need for supportive housing for adults with severe and persistent psychiatric illnesses.
The agency began in 1982 by opening a 15-bed supportive residential program, using only privately raised funds. Over time, support from the Kentucky Department of Mental Health and other public funding sources was secured and private fundraising also increased. However, the demand from clients, their family members, mental health professionals and community leaders for Wellspring's supportive housing steadily grew. In response, Wellspring continued its growth, and today offers a variety of supportive housing options designed to provide a "best practices" approach to mental health recovery through 19 diverse sites.
As a result of Wellspring's unflagging efforts and commitment to our proven model of service, the agency is considered Kentucky's pioneer and lead provider of housing and supportive services for adults with severe and persistent mental illness.

More reviews by icepunkprincess
I bought this product a few months ago and there were a few sides to the product. First, it made my makeup last all day like nothing else. However, my skin was still oily, my foundation oranger and darker and my pores still large. I will attribute these to the fact that I was using liquid foundation on my oily skin. My routine now consistes of clinique pore minimizer, and a mix of rice powder with physcians formula powder. I am considering trying this product again, now that my oil and pores are under better control.
In summary, this wasn't an all-in-one product for me, but may be a very key component in a morning process.
After reading some of the reviews for this product, I had to write my own. I read alot of people with oily skin having problems with this product, but I have to wonder how excessively oily are these people's faces? I have oily skin and begin to see the oils in my face rise maybe between 45 minutes to an hour after applying makeup without a primer, so these peoples faces must create tons of oil if this product isn't working for them. My main concern, and the reason I rated this product a two, is that this product is extremely drying on my oily/sensitive skin. After only one application I am left the next day with stinging, dry skin and patches. It even creates flakey skin on my nose. For those of you who have oily skin, as I do, drying of the skin causes more oil to be produced by the face and causes breakouts. Not good. But I have to give this product due credit though, it keeps my make up in place all day. I apply this product on around 6 a.m. and my make up still looks fresh up until I wash it off, which is some time between 10 or 11 p.m., and I have very minimal oil produced by my skin. But since it is drying, I found that if I mix both the spf 50 primer and the regular prep and prime from mac, my make up is able to withstand time and none of the dryness. I'm not exactly why it works, but since I had a sample of each, and after trying out the spf 50 primer on it's own, I mixed both and it created one of the best defenses against oily, faded make-up.
To sum up my review: On it's own, spf 50 primer keeps your makeup looking fresh and long lasting, but dries the heck out of your face. Used in a combination with mac's prep and prime also keeps your face looking fresh and long lasting, but does not dry out the skin.
I didnt really notice how much of an effect this had on underneath my makeup until i didnt wear it...not wearing it, my foundation looked patchy and didnt seem polished like it does with this underneath...it makes my satin creamy foundations last long look polished, and help with the longevity of my foundation...i thought i could get away with not wearing it when i used my EL doublewear and without it my makeup looked patchy and didnt do the appreance of my large pores any good, when i wore it underneath my EL double wear the foundation looked smooth and flawless and lasted, it also stopped any oilyness coming out, when i didnt wear this i got shine quite quickly...overall very good and you dont realise how good it is until you dont wear it..
I like the idea of SPF 50 in my primer so I can skip a step/product so I'll give it the two lippies for that. Plus, it makes my skin look pretty good for a while with no white cast. However, this stuff makes me break out in the big, angry pimples within two days of using it. It feels like a heavy, greasy mask that gets even worse as the day goes on if you have oil like I do, so this product is a no go for me.
This product is not worth all the hype. I still love my smash box photo finish. Mac prep & prime does not really do anything for me. It does not make my foundation stay on any longer.Would not buy again.
I have extremely oily skin. Within 1-2 hours of applying make-up, I have to break out the blotting sheets or the blot powder. I am always on the search for the next best primer - anything that will prevent oil from shining through. Since I am constantly trying new products, I tend to forget about the gems I already have in my stash. MAC's P&P SPF 50 is one of them! I wore it this past weekend for the first time in ages and omg I cannot believe how great my face looks. I put on my primer and my foundation at 7am and checked my reflection at 12:45p and I had practically no oil. My nose was a *tad* but shiny but it wasn't even worth blotting! I can't believe I forgot how amazing this product is. My face looked fresh & smooth & flawless. My foundation looked amazing all day and that is saying a LOT considering how oily my skin gets - I normally blot 4-5 times a day. The SPF 50 is an added bonus. I can't wait to rock this as the weather gets warmer. As some people have noted however, there is some ingredient in this formula which can irritate & cause break outs. I haven't experienced anything like that but be sure to check out the ingredients to see if you may be allergic to anything before trying it yourself. But if you have extremely oily skin like me and are always on the look-out for a good oil-controlling product, then look no further. If you can, get a sample from MAC & test it out before buying the full-size version. I don't even know why I bothered looking into other primers. This is the best one I've tried!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't think i will ever find another primer i like as much as this ever!
pros: spf 50 (great news for my fair skin), lasts for ages, make-up goes on so much easier and looks alot better better than without it, helps with oil control in my t-zone (which is something of a small miracle!)
cons: the packaging becomes annoying when you are running out as its hard to get the remaining product out
I will certainly be repurchasing this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This primer sucks! It makes me super oily. My makeup oxidizes faster! It's expensive and you can't return it. I can think of so many other MAC products I can spend that money on...
I am a very oily skinned girl. I have come to terms with this fact over the years, though I am still always looking for the primer to hold off the oil. My top two are: MUFE primers- not the HD ones (love them, but got bored I guess) and Philosophy The Present (amazing, flawless skin even without makeup on top but still shines through on the nose).
I have come to accept that my t zone especially will never be oil-free. I have learnt to deal with the fact that my makeup will slide away throughout the day.
UNTIL I was reading through reviews of MAC primers on my way to the store. I wanted to indulge and splurge just a bit. I don't know why I but I have never wanted to use MAC skincare. I am of the impression that theirs is just not up to scratch, so I never even bothered exploring it. But the reviews on this seemed promising, so I thought *one more experiment won't hurt*. That one more became the last one. Officially.
Apply this in the morning 10am, MUFE HD on top, blush, brows etc....At 11pm, I don't want to wash it off cos it still looks so darn amazing and flawless. I do mean flawless. I have not blotted *once* today. Or anyday since I started using it. I keep going to check in the mirror, amazed that it's all still intact. I kid you not. I am in *love*: with this, and with my face. Absolutely no oilies. This is despite my very oily skin PLUS Mufe HD which everyone says turns greasy on oily skin. Not me! And it's all because of MAC Prep+Prime SPF50. And my blush has not eroded away.
I don't regularly do reviews, but this was soooo worthy of one. I do realise that YMMV, but in my opinion, having tried all manner of primers out there, this is not one to be missed! I'm buying backups JUST IN CASE!
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love love love this! Its soo much better than the other prep+prime primer I tried. The other one left my skin oily and these ittle shimmer particles that were very obvious. This blows the other primer out of the water! First off right now I have an oily forehead,nose and chin but my cheeks are normal to dry. Since this is like a lotion. it hydrated my skin and smooths out my skin and filled my pores. it leaves my face matte and loking fresh. I notice my foundation looks very fresh for most of the day and slightly dewy by the time I take it off which is 5PM. My cons on this product is the price and the packaging. other than that its a winner! Might be HG

Something that has come out of the increased awareness of heroin addiction is a newfound interest with the controversial drug naloxone that can reverse the side effects and overdoses of opioids. It is a right move that more states are giving police and first responders' access to this drug, but it is one that comes with a lot of controversy.
As the president and CEO of Branders.com, the world's largest online corporate giveaway store, I take pride in my company's ability to carry nearly every item our customers could want to promote their business or organization. Through branded items such as grocery store bags and water bottles, I'm proud to say that Branders.com has helped Celeste promote the Raymond Coalition for Youth in her community. A regular customer, Celeste visited Branders.com earlier this year to purchase Frisbees and beach balls for an upcoming summer festival. Celeste got in touch with my team at Branders.com, and I'm glad she did.

Taxes in the Tank
With the national average gas price rising 30 cents in the past month alone, it's no secret gas prices are soaring everywhere, but everyone feels the sting a little differently. As we reported last week, the price of a gallon of gas varies wildly from one country to another, ranging from just a few cents in Venezuela to close to $10 in Norway and Eritrea. And even within the U.S. there's significant variance, with a low of $3.12 per gallon in Wyoming and a high of $4.32 per gallon in Hawaii.
Why does the price of a gallon of gas vary so much from state to state? As with country-by-country averages, the big culprit is taxation. While drivers in all states are hit with a federal tax of 18.4 cents per gallon, there are also a variety of state-level taxes that hit your wallet at the pump. Using current average gas prices from AAA and state taxation data compiled by the Tax Foundation, we decided to look at the states where taxes (federal and state combined) make up the biggest percentage of the cost of a gallon of gas.

.- Catholic-Muslim dialogue took a step forward today as representatives from the two different religions met at the Vatican. The two-day meeting will focus on the need for respecting human dignity, religious freedom and the theological aspects of "Love of God and Neighbor."
On October 13, 2007, 138 Muslims leaders sent an open letter to numerous Christian churches requesting that channels of dialogue be established between the two faiths. The Muslim scholars and religious leaders proposed that the "Love of God and Neighbor" be the theme for the discussions since these are beliefs held in common by both religions.
Pope Benedict XVI responded to the request for dialogue on November 19, 2007 saying that while the two faiths do hold these tenets in common, Christianity has developed an understanding of the paramount importance of human dignity and religious freedom. Any discussion about the love of God and neighbor must lead to the acceptance of religious freedom and the defense of human dignity.
The first seminar organized by the Catholic-Muslim Forum was held this morning at the Vatican and the meeting will culminate with a meeting with Pope Benedict on November 6.
According to a press release from the Holy See Press Office, the theme of the Seminar - "Love of God, Love of Neighbor" - will be tackled from two main standpoints: "theological and spiritual fundamentals" and "the dignity of the human person and mutual respect." The Catholic and Muslim sides will both deliver reports on each of these sub-themes, and their statements will serve as a launching pad for the subsequent debates.

Try paddling with only one hand. Not very effective is it?
Therefore both hands are required to "control" the paddle.
Personally, my top hand grip is very loose. In fact I'll frequently wiggle my fingers in the air.

.....since she has beaten Venus which is something that not even Justine or Kim has done in over a year. Clearly if Lisa can beat the very same player that neither Kim nor Justine has beaten for soooo long, that makes her a better player than them. Right? So, either Lisa now is just better than Kim and Justine, or she just wasn't playing a player who was playing at the same level in which she beat Justine and Kim.
See how dumb that theory was in the first place?

Strengthening Equality in the Workplace
December 28, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Dan Rafter, Former HRC Associate Director of Communications
HRC built on the momentum we experienced in 2011 – when a record number of companies embraced key criteria on our Corporate Equality Index (CEI) such as transgender-inclusive healthcare coverage – to continue ensuring equality thrives in workplaces across the country. This year, the CEI saw the largest growth in the history of the survey, with 54 new companies participating.
The increased participation wasn't the only good news from the 2013 CEI – we learned that a record 99 percent of companies prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation; 89 percent offer domestic partner healthcare benefits; and 84 percent prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. An incredible 252 businesses received perfect 100 percent ratings on this year's CEI.
We also launched the new Municipal Equality Index (MEI) this year – the first-ever report on LGBT inclusion in municipal laws across the country. Check out the report and learn more about how your city fared!
Learn more about all of the work HRC undertook in 2012 to bring about increased equality in the workplace. We've seen tremendous progress over the past few years, and look forward to continued milestones in 2013.

So do you think the patriots should run the ball more? I'd be really interested to hear what you have to think about this- you know about the patriots running the ball- and whether they should run it more- what do you think? -

throwing to reche caldwell, running it with laurence maroney, the offensive line's complete inability to handle a stunt or twist...don't you think there are other possibilities than the "failure" of an offensive philosophy? What NFL offense do you currently find most dynamic, or most capable of winning? I can virtually guarentee they employ extensive spread concepts..And besides, the Patriots use as much 2TE on the line as anyone in the league, that's not a spread concept.edit: serious questions here, not interested in sniping comments that you guys are getting into. -

In Response to Tracing the Source of the Failed McDaniels Shotgun/Spread:So, this goes back to 2006 and with the continued bashing of the Pats D, exclusively by the dopey media, and some fans here who aren't seeing it, I decided to look back the 2nd half of the 2006 AFC title game. Here is first drive in the 3rd qtr: New England Patriots at 8:13, (1st play from scrimmage 8:09) NWE IND 1st and 10 at NE 18 (8:09) T.Brady pass incomplete short right to R.Caldwell. 2nd and 10 at NE 18 (8:04) K.Faulk up the middle to NE 26 for 8 yards (R.Mathis). 3rd and 2 at NE 26 (7:23) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass short left to H.Evans pushed ob at NE 26 for no gain (A.Bethea, J.David). 4th and 2 at NE 26 (7:04) T.Sauerbrun punts 58 yards to IND 16, Center-L.Paxton. T.Wilkins to IND 24 for 8 yards (P.Woods). Summary: Note the field position. Luckily, Sauerbrun blasted one 60 yards. The next drive was the infamous Ellis Hobbs faceguarding call, which handed Indy 7 points instead of the 3 they were about to settle for. 21-21... Here is our 2nd drive of the half. One thing I want to point out, is NE gets a short field, only 20 yards need after an Ellis Hobbs kick off return up the right flank. Remember it? New England Patriots at 4:00, (1st play from scrimmage 3:49) NWE IND 1st and 10 at IND 21 (3:49) L.Maroney left tackle to IND 22 for -1 yards (R.Brock, G.Brackett). 2nd and 11 at IND 22 (3:05) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass short middle to J.Gaffney to IND 5 for 17 yards (A.Bethea). 1st and 5 at IND 5 (2:24) C.Dillon left end to IND 6 for -1 yards (R.Morris). 2nd and 6 at IND 6 (1:42) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass incomplete short right to R.Caldwell [R.Mathis]. 3rd and 6 at IND 6 (1:35) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass short right to J.Gaffney for 6 yards, TOUCHDOWN [R.Mathis]. 27 21 Play Challenged by IND and Upheld. (Timeout #1 by IND at 01:25.) S.Gostkowski extra point is GOOD, Center-L.Paxton, Holder-M.Cassel. 28 21 Summary: This is the call Underpants thought was incorrect, but it's a TD for Gaffney, with NE using two shotguns successfully. But, again, short field, so hard to judge. 28-21 NE.... Indy drives right down to tie it....Note how the quick score (not the offense's fault) has the D right back on the field. Not saying, but this sort of quick strike, feast or famine offense, is a detriment to even the fans most favorite players here on D (Harrison, Bruschi, Seymour, Vrabel, Samuel, etc). Here is NE's 3rd drive: New England Patriots at 13:24, (1st play from scrimmage 13:18) NWE IND 1st and 10 at NE 27 (13:18) T.Brady pass short right to B.Watson to NE 31 for 4 yards (G.Brackett). 2nd and 6 at NE 31 (12:41) L.Maroney up the middle to NE 29 for -2 yards (D.Freeney). 3rd and 8 at NE 29 (12:01) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass short right to L.Maroney to NE 35 for 6 yards (R.Brock, R.Mathis). IND-B.Sanders was injured during the play. 4th and 2 at NE 35 (11:19) T.Sauerbrun punts 59 yards to IND 6, Center-L.Paxton. T.Wilkins to IND 22 for 16 yards (P.Woods, D.Graham). Summary: Elapsed time? 2 minutes, including the punt. 2 passes, 1 Shotgun formation. Sauerbrun yet again pins Indy deep to at least help out. NE's D holds. 3 and out for Indy, Troy returns the punt to our own 42. Here is our 4th drive, with 10 minutes to go in the game: New England Patriots at 10:26 NWE IND 1st and 10 at IND 43 (10:26) T.Brady pass short right to R.Caldwell to IND 27 for 16 yards (B.Sanders). 1st and 10 at IND 27 (9:42) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass short right to J.Gaffney to IND 13 for 14 yards (K.Hayden). 1st and 10 at IND 13 (8:59) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass short middle to T.Brown to IND 6 for 7 yards (K.Hayden, B.Sanders). PENALTY on NE-J.Gaffney, Illegal Shift, 5 yards, enforced at IND 13 - No Play. 1st and 15 at IND 18 (8:38) T.Brady pass incomplete short right to R.Caldwell [G.Brackett]. 2nd and 15 at IND 18 (8:34) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass short middle to H.Evans to IND 10 for 8 yards (R.Morris, C.June). 3rd and 7 at IND 10 (7:50) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass incomplete short right to R.Caldwell. 4th and 7 at IND 10 (7:45) S.Gostkowski 28 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-L.Paxton, Holder-M.Cassel. 31 28 S.Gostkowski kicks 60 yards from NE 30 to IND 10. T.Wilkins to IND 23 for 13 yards (R.Baker). DRIVE TOTALS: NE 31 IND 28, 6 plays, 33 yards, 2:44 drive, 7:18 elapsed Summary: Good drive, good time elapsed, but the obvious element is the 3 points only with the FG. Indy then drives with the key play, a busted 52 yard pass play down the middle to Dallas Clark. That's on the D there and a nice play by Indy. Indy then kicks a FG, so NE's D essentially holds on to at least keep them out of the end zone. Here is NE's 5th total drive of the second half: New England Patriots at 5:31, (1st play from scrimmage 5:23) NWE IND 1st and 10 at NE 46 (5:23) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass deep right to D.Graham to IND 29 for 25 yards (G.Brackett). 1st and 10 at IND 29 (4:39) T.Brady pass incomplete deep right to J.Gaffney. 2nd and 10 at IND 29 (4:33) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass incomplete short right to D.Graham (A.Bethea). 3rd and 10 at IND 29 (4:29) (Shotgun) H.Evans right tackle to IND 25 for 4 yards (G.Brackett). 4th and 6 at IND 25 (3:53) S.Gostkowski 43 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-L.Paxton, Holder-M.Cassel. 34 31 S.Gostkowski kicks 70 yards from NE 30 to end zone, Touchback. Summary: Ellis Hobbs strikes again giving our offense field position at our own 46 where we only end up with another FG. Elapsed time? 1:42. Yup. YOu read that right. Our offense sets up shop at the 46 of NE and we take 1:42 off the clock? Umm, unacceptable. Take note of the shotguns. 3 out of the only 4 plays on the drive, were in the shotgun, with the last one yet again (obviously) stopping the clock due to the incompletion. So, on 5 drives, THREE of em with GREAT field position, we only score 1 TD in the second half. Here's the 3rd great starting positon: 1st and 10 at NE 40 (3:22) PENALTY on NE-H.Evans, Offensive 12 On-field, 5 yards, enforced at NE 40 - No Play. 1st and 15 at NE 35 (3:22) T.Brady pass short right to R.Caldwell to NE 42 for 7 yards (M.Jackson). 2nd and 8 at NE 42 (2:39) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass short left to B.Watson to NE 46 for 4 yards (A.Bethea, J.David). Timeout #2 by IND at 02:30. 3rd and 4 at NE 46 (2:30) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass incomplete short right to T.Brown (B.Sanders). 4th and 4 at NE 46 (2:27) T.Sauerbrun punts 54 yards to end zone, Center-L.Paxton, Touchback. 2 Shotguns on this drive and yet again another 3 and out, putting our D back on the field yet again. This is the 6th drive and so far we only have 13 points out of those drives. The lone TD is an Ellis Hobbs kick off return, setting up great field position at the Indy 20. Sad. It really is. All people wan tto talk about is how the Pats D blew a lead, but mix in some Polian Specials with the refs and failed opps by our offense, and it's a good recipe to lose on the road. Our offense simply fell asleep in the 4th qtr. Is it me or is this EXACTLY the same problems we see today, where our shotgun base spread, can't sustain drives, can't chew up clock, etc? Nope. It's not me. It's the same high risk/high reward, flawed offense that works less than people realize. This flawed offense was masked in 2007 by Moss and Welker's additions here, but make no mistake, it's going to be incredibly tough for this team to win a SB without using their run game more and by not eliminating the ideology of the shotgun/spread as the base. Prosecution rests. This is the stuff that our friends Babe Parilli and his Brady Ballwashing Bandits here don't get, nor does Chris Gasper, Tony MAzz, Michea; Felger types. You simply can't be on the road, especially, having that D on the field so fast, over and over and over, all in a row like that. Run the ball in the first half.

He stunk his first year 2005, Brady loses his first playoff game at Denver .
He stunk his last year 2007, losing the SB . Totally outclassed by giants D strategy . No adjustments , no answers. 14 Points .
He demonstrated why an experienced OC is one of the most important members of a team . -

Now, aside from hating on the best QB of his generation, you are hating on the best coach/gm of his generation? Why? It all goes back to the guy in charge. The absolute best leaders are not only are capable of of coordinating either side of the ball, evaluating talent, drafting well, understanding the finances and motivating the team, but they are intelligent enough to surround themselves with the best people available. Obviously you can't do it all yourself. If you choose a coordinator, a strength coach or cap guy who is clearly blowing it, what's he doing there. The buck stops with the man in charge. You are either on board with him and his methods, player and staff evaluations and his ability to make changes in systems and players that he feels are not working OR YOU ARE NOT. You clearly are not. You can't give Bill credit for every positive thing that happens with this team or any other team he's been associated with and blame everyone else for the negatives.
If the shotgun offense of a coordinator that hasn't been around in a few years is the downfall of that team three years later, that is the fault of the head coach.
If the offense that is generally in the tops of scoring, yards and first downs is the reason for a poor showing by the defense week after week, that falls on the guy in charge, the one that hires the coordinators and that has final say on his roster, the offensive and defensive schemes and the play calling.


text: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/ December 21, 2005 Pats wrap Posted By: mreiss | Time: 01:53:13 PM | PRACTICE WRAP: Offensive tackle Matt Light was the only player on the team's most recent injury report not present at the media access portion of today's practice … Earlier in the day, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Light's return this season was a "longshot†… The media was present for one special teams drill and stretching … Quarterback Tom Brady didn't appear to be wearing a knee brace; he took a few snaps in a quarterback-center drill and then had Doug Flutie checking out his left shin during stretching … The team practiced inside the Dana Farber Fieldhouse. LOCKER ROOM WRAP: Pretty light atmosphere in the locker room, with linebacker Mike Vrabel joking that -- due to Tom Ashworth's touchdown catch on Saturday -- he's now become a decoy as a tight end near the goal-line … Punter Josh Miller also had some fun with one of the shorter reporters who was trying to break through a major crowd around Tom Brady's locker, saying: "Don't even bother. It's like you're at the deli, you have number 950, and they're serving number one.†… Because Brady holds his press conference at his locker, the overflowing media crowd spills into other lockers next to Brady, affecting Miller on the left and practice squad receiver Bam Childress on the right. … Defensive lineman Ty Warren, kicker Adam Vinatieri, linebacker Mike Vrabel, cornerback Ellis Hobbs and cornerback/safety Artrell Hawkins were a few players drawing larger media crowds. PRO BOWL: Patriots players were expected to learn of their Pro Bowl status today after practice. We'll plan on passing on those results, as well as some player reaction. Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked about the Pro Bowl in his press conference: "I take pride in our players' performance, individually and collectively. I certainly do, but I can't control what everybody else thinks, what they perceive it as. Again, in all honesty, I haven't seen all the players play. There are a lot of teams in the AFC that I haven't studied, haven't really watched them very carefully. I don't even know what kind of year some of those guys are having. I know what I think of the players we played, but there were a lot of teams that weren't on our schedule that are obviously very good teams. Teams like Cincinnati, teams like Jacksonville, teams like that that we really haven't seen. I'm sure they have some real good players, I'm sure they have guys who are having real great years. I'm just not that familiar with it.†+++ Looking ahead, we'll plan on posting our next update around 4 p.m. ET with the injury report. Whenever the Pro Bowl results become available, we'll pass that along, and hopefully have some reaction from Patriots players as well. --Mike

"Science and facts – not politics or hyperbole – should govern our trade and economic relations," US trade and agriculture officials said in a statement. "This is a serious matter that concerns us greatly."
Politicized issue
Japan banned US beef imports in late 2003, after a single cow in the state of Washington was found to have mad cow disease. South Korea, Taiwan, and other Asian countries quickly followed suit. US beef exports plunged, hit especially hard by the ban in the No. 1 export market, Japan.
Japan reopened to some US beef imports in 2006, but restrictions remain.
South Korea's reopening to beef in 2008 under a US-friendly president sparked weeks of massive protests and a political crisis that had a nationalist, anti-American edge. Seoul ended up watering down a previous agreement with Washington, much as Taipei is doing now.
Park Kie-Duck, former president of South Korea's independent Sejong Institute, says anti-US beef protests were led by Web-savvy students who spread fears online. But the issue has resonated more broadly in East Asia because of countries' worry that their traditional agrarian identities are under threat.
"We see the agricultural industry as a kind of strategic industry, and people want to keep that industry safe," says Mr. Park. "That's why this issue is so sensitive."
In Taiwan, the scale of protests has been smaller, but emotions have also run high. Groceries and beef noodle restaurants have displayed anti-US beef logos.
On Tuesday, a man had the words "The people stand up" and a clenched fist tattooed to his back amid chanting anti-US beef protesters.
In late October, one student filmed himself eating what he claimed was a cow-dung burger in front of the Presidential Office, protesting that it was safer to eat than American beef. (See videoclip here.)

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I recently upgraded my computer at work, motherboard and all. The new motherboard had on-board sound so I no longer needed the services of my trusty SoundBlaster Card. Unfortunately the on-board sound output power was virtually non-existent. I couldn't drive my wimpy Creative Labs desktop speakers. Not even a squeak. So I needed some new speakers because I find it hard to work without music playing the background. Since I would be paying for these out of my pocket I wanted cheap speakers. I wasn't interested in rich orchestral sound so I basically picked up the cheapest pair of speakers on the shelf at the local MicroCenter Store. Those happened to be Cyber Acoustics CA-2012 Computer Speakers. Having spent $9.99 I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of these speakers. Look and Feel These speakers probably will not be winning any design awards for looks, they are your basic off-white speakers with a cloth mesh covering the speaker grills. They are slim and don't occupy too much desktop space. The construction seems marginal so I wouldn't drop these on the floor. They have a headphone jack on the front of the left speaker. Also on the left speaker is the power button and the volume dial. Sound Bear in mind that I paid less than ten dollars for my Cyber Acoustics CA-2012 Computer Speakers so I had low expectations. At work I either listen to my LAUNCHcast radio station or my collection of MP3s so I don't need great sound. The Cyber Acoustics CA-2012 Computer Speakers perform just fine. They have enough range to convincingly pound out heavy metal and enough finesse to do justice to Enya. The only problem I have is that the volume range is limited. Turn the dial past half power and it's hard to notice that much of a difference in volume. But since this is at my desk I don't need the speakers to be all that loud. Setup Not much to setup here. You plug the AC adapter into the wall, plug the other end into the left speaker and then attach the 3.5 mm green plug into the sound card. Just like that you are up and running. Overall, the Cyber Acoustics CA-2012 Computer Speakers are a good value. I rated them four stars (Above Average) because relatively speaking, these are above average speakers for their price range. They are not going to blow you away but they will do just fine for a simple set of desktop computer speakers.

Staff at the information desk (izziņas; 6583 2134) don't appear to be very cooperative - a less frustrating bet for schedules is to consult the train timetable on Latvian Railways' website at www.ldz.lv.

As most people have said, this is a good place for couples. There's no 'hostel' atmosphere but it's right next to Bulabog beach and about a 5-10 minute walk to White Beach so no complaints there. The staff were very, very accomodating and treated us like guests from before check-in (we were early) and after check-out (holding our bags and getting a tuk-tuk taxi). If you just want a comfortable place to sleep, that is secure and away from the late-night music, this is the place to be.
