I have a huge passion for merrymaking the everyday, because life can be hard and every moment deserves a celebration.
This is how we teach our kids dinner party manners if you'd like to see.
Do you and your husband the same birthday?
Why I thought you'd never ask! What a normal question. Yes we do! Hence the always combined celebrations. We were actually born in the same hospital within 1/2 an hour of each other – nursery date! We met for the first time in college and married a week after graduation. How's that for a soulmate! Also, we rented out a Starbucks for our wedding, the best idea ever – you can totally steal it, I won't tell.
Do you get paid to write posts on this site?
Yes, sometimes. I have a handful of wonderful partners I work with to promote their products – it funds the projects and work I do here daily. To learn more about partnering with us – see here. View my complete advertising and privacy policy – right here.
OMG you have twins? So do I!
This is honestly the title of hundreds of emails I've received over the years. Yes, we have twins. No, they do not run in my family. Here's a quick recap of our experience with IVF, if you are interested. Yes, the first year was brutal – although now I think I have it easier. They are my absolute treasures.
Can I work for A Subtle Revelry?
One of my favorite parts of running this site is the staff team I get to work with. I am always looking to add new talent to the mix! If you are interested in joining up as a contributor email email@example.com with a link to your site or portfolio and I'll check it out.
Can you teach me how to grow my blog, make money blogging, or start a new blog?
It was because of all the emails I've received that I initially launched the Upstart Blogging e-course. It's a great option if you are interested in launching, growing or monatizing a blogging site + I share lots of juicy details about our process and the triumphs and trials of building a profitable blog. I also write monthly posts here about blogging, and how it's a lot like dieting.
Can I use your projects and photos on my site/magazine/TV show or billboard?
Thanks for asking – I'm flattered, really! Having friendly sites feature my work is a HUGE way we've grown this site and I am always thankful for a kind mention. Since all the work on this site is protected by copyright, I do have a few rules: Please only feature one photo from any post or project – I do not allow a complete project to be reposted anywhere, anytime. Please always link back to the original article here on my site whenever a photo/idea is run and please always credit the project designer and photographer in your feature. Thanks!
How do you balance it all?
HA! Like every other mom, everywhere – I don't. However, I am getting a bit smarter lately at dropping jobs I don't love, hiring more people I do love, and giving myself more time to be creative. Plus, I take regular media sabbaths which helps immensely.
How do I get a book deal?
Getting our first book deal was a surreal experience and I've been learning so much in the process! Here are my tips for landing your own book deal – or anything else you want in life. I'll be sharing more details as we go.

Diablo 3 editor download
Like in Diablo II, the introduction of "Game Editors" came in for people who would want to hack or customize their character in terms of level, items or even their mercenary. It provided away for players to hack the D2 system without compromising the game itself.
In Diablo 3, there is some news about the so-called "Diablo 3 Editor". Though there is no news on programmers or hackers on how to hack the system of Diablo for the main reason that the game is completely randomized.
Diablo II had a random environment, but this was limited to items, maps and the enemy systems. Characters are on a fixed area, so there is no problem on those. And unlike Diablo 3, Diablo II editors provide a ready database of files for hacking and editing.
There are many types of game editors. As of now, the only discussed Diablo 3 editor is that of that of the map editor. So far, there is also no news regarding a certain Diablo 3 editor download. Also, there is no news on a Diablo 3 item editor available for download.
Inasmuch that Diablo 3 has a lot of gameplay and unique user interface for players, it also proves to be challenging and tricky to find out the system behind the randomly-generated terrain and environment, which is why the concept of having or coming up with a Diablo 3 editor is still out of hand, especially that there is still no release date.
Even trickier is how hackers will find out the game's character engine to come up with a Diablo 3 character editor. Among other game trainers and hacks, the most noted method to make your way through the game is hacking your character. And with character editors, players are able to bend the game to their will. With features that enable players to change their character's status, points and even their inventory, they are able to make an all-powerful character that has high-end weapons and armor.
With these in mind, the real challenge for hackers is finding a way to incorporate the program or editor without compromising the systems of Diablo 3, especially the Crafting System. Since the said system culminates the goal of character or item editors, which is to make items that players are able to customize, with respect to what attributes the item has or what the said item can do for the character.
Aside from these, Diablo 3 is a challenging game. It makes players think. It will not be called a strategy game if the game does not require any thinking or logic. Game editors help in making the game easier to finish, but it removes the thrill and the challenge for each player to strive, and reach a certain goal.
Diablo 3 is also wonderful challenge for game programmers since it revolutionizes an old system which is PC-dependent. Since the game is completely randomized, it proves to be hard for programmers to decode the game engine as the code of the program changes with every move the character or occurrence that happens in the course of the game.
Overall, games that have editors do give the player an edge, but if the player prefers to have that certain thrill and excitement, then it is better not to use any of this software.

Bacteriocins are low molecular peptides with antimicrobial activity, which are of great interest as food bio-preservatives and for treating diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria. In this study, we present the characterization of bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus plantarum LE5 and LE27 isolated from ensiled corn. Bacteriocins were purified through ammonium sulfate precipitation and double dialysis by using 12- and 1-kDa membranes. Bacteriocins showed activity against Listeria innocua, Listeria monocytogenes, and Enteroccocus faecalis. Molecular weight was estimated through Tricine-SDS-PAGE and overloading the gel onto Mueller-Hinton agar seeded with L. monocytogenes, showing an inhibition zone between 5 and 10 kDa. NanoLC-MS/MS analysis allowed the identification of UPF0291 protein (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Q88VI7), which is also presented in other lactic acid bacteria without assigned function. Ab initio modeling showed it has an α-helix-rich structure and a large positive-charged region. Bacteriocins were stable between 4 and 121 °C and pH 2 and 12, and the activity was inhibited by SDS and proteases. Mode of action assay suggests that the bacteriocin causes of target microorganism. Taken together, these results describe a possible new class IIa bacteriocin produced by L. plantarum, which has a wide stability to physicochemical conditions, and that could be used as an alternative for the control of foodborne diseases.

Co-presented with the GARDNER CENTER FOR ASIAN ART & IDEAS. Drawing on seven years of travel and residence in South Asia, along with extensive research, Cheryl Colopy writes cogently and eloquently about imminent trouble in South Asia with her new book, Dirty, Sacred Rivers: Confronting South Asia's Water Crisis (Oxford University Press). "Dirty, Sacred Rivers provides a highly readable account of pressing concerns surrounding Himalayan rivers. Travelers and diplomats, engineers and mountaineers, politicians and climate scientists, will find striking insights and unseen perspectives. Colopy brings the clarity and tenacity of great reporting to the complex challenges raised by social change, industrialization and climate change as they interact with South Asia's and the world's greatest rivers." - Ben Crow. "Colopy's moving experiences along Asia's magical rivers from their mountainous headwaters to their broad deltas remind us that science and policy alone are not enoughwe must regain our sense of the sacred and spiritualand her fine book helps us do that." - Peter Gleick. Free admission. The Seattle Asian Art Museum is at 1400 E. Prospect Street in Volunteer Park. Please see www.seattleartmuseum.org for more information.

She has made welcome repeat visits to Elliott Bay over the years since (The Passion Dream Book, Now You See Her). She is here this evening with her newest, Eight Girls Taking Pictures (Scribner). "What makes Eight Girls Taking Pictures so remarkable is its simultaneous sharp focus and wide-angle lens. Through the lives of eight women photographers, Whitney Otto allows readers to see their own immediate worlds and the alternative, otherwise inaccessible world of women artists ... Eight Girls Taking Pictures takes us through the twentieth century in a way that immeasurably enriches our lives and our futures." - Sena Jeter Naslund.

Egypt Protests Test U.S. Democracy Campaign
The Bush administration's campaign for democracy in the Arab world is facing its toughest test yet in Egypt, according to international online commentators.
Three hundred Egyptian judges staged a silent protest last week against the government over interference in the judiciary. The country's best known blogger, Alaa Abd El-Fatah, was arrested earlier this month together with other activists engaged in a peaceful demonstration (the blog he co-authors with his wife, Manal Hassan, continues with message posts smuggled out of prison). Meanwhile, Ayman Nour, a liberal who finished second in last year's presidential election, was sentenced to a five-year jail term on disputed charges of forgery.
Longtime President Hosni Mubarak, a U.S. ally who is grooming his son to succeed him, faces a "revolt of the Egyptian elite," says Ahmed Amr in the Middle East Times.
"Since winning a fifth term in office, Mubarak has systematically and methodically gone about the business of reigning in the opposition. The reviled Emergency Laws have been extended. Previously scheduled municipal elections have been postponed and the casually attired state sponsored goons have violently confronted peaceful demonstrators."
Earlier this month, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack condemned Egypt's actions, saying "both Mr. Nour's ongoing detention and the Egyptian government's handling of dissent raise serious concerns about the path of political reform and democracy."
As unease mounts over anti-democratic signals from Mubarak's government, Egyptian commentators are looking to see what Washington will do.
Despite the Bush administration's rhetoric, the United States is not going to help the Egyptian opposition, predicts Emad Mekay, Washington correspondent for the Al-Ahram Weekly.
"Washington has signaled that it now views its interests in the region as best served by the status quo. This is especially true in light of tensions with Iran and the rise of Islamic- oriented groups," he writes.
"The Bush administration has called on Congress to keep annual aid to Egypt of nearly $2 billion dollars intact for the next fiscal year, arguing that America's strategic interests will be harmed if aid to the Egyptian government is cut."
Mekay quoted U.S. officials stressing Egypt's pivotal role in its military strategy in the region, with $2.5 billion worth of military assistance designed to "create a defence force capable of supporting US security."
"Given such favours, officials expressed only the usual 'concern' over the Egyptian government's repression of dissent at home," Mackey wrote.
The Financial Times notes that Bush's conservative supporters "are questioning the wisdom of a democratisation strategy that has brought unpleasant consequences in the Middle East."
Mubarak's crackdown "represents a major challenge to Mr. Bush's campaign to promote democracy in the Middle East," says the Toronto Globe and Mail. "How Mr. Bush responds will say a lot about how serious he is. From the beginning it has been clear that, if his fine words about democracy were to have any weight, he would have to put pressure not just on rogue regimes and hostile nations but on Washington's Mideast allies."
"All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: The United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors," declared President Bush in his 2005 inaugural address. "When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you."
Egyptians seem to be standing up -- will Washington weigh in?

"Egyptians seem to be standing up -- will Washington weigh in?"
Not on the side of true democracy, I'm afraid. Democracy, in muslim countries, means democratic power to muslim governments. This goes without saying. It is a truism to say so.
Now no US administration wants true democracy in muslim hands. To put it in a nutshell, true democracy is bad for he who seeks world hegemony and intends, as in Shakespeare, to tell the whole world whether what its finger points to is the moon or not. The shrew needs be tamed!
Yet, as was concluded in the Globe and Mail, "there is a middle ground between hurling Egypt into the void and standing quietly by as Mr. Mubarak stomps on his democratic opponents." But the current President of the United States of America is no buddhist, does not have the reputation of one who would know a middle road even existed.

Here we go again. Our leadership decides to buy another week or two from another country, Egypt. As if the writing on the wall wasn't clear enough already; ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY. Are we going to continue on this path until we finally turn every nation on Earth against us? The friend today, foe tomorrow reality rears its ugly head again but no one in the White House can see beyond TGIF.

Here we go again..., read my lips.
Our leadership decides to BUY another week or two of favor from another Muslim country, Egypt, under the guise of "maintaining the status quo". Mubarak is a DICTATOR. We don't deal with dictators, do we??? Haven't we had enough of the friend today, foe tomorrow lessons yet? Maybe we can just invade Egypt after we get through with Iran after we get through with Iraq after we get through with Afganistan... We'er just making friends all over the globe, just ask any Canadian.

Washington's effort to "promote democracy" ,whether it is genuine or a coverup, in the Arab world should not be welcomed, period. Washington officials must understand that they do no own the lives or even the rights of the people of the Middle East.
Pressure can be made through independent Human Rights organizations (such as Amnesty or Human Rights Watch) that have no links to any government. Many of the US NGOs that claim to "promote democracy" are de-facto extensions of the US government. Many are headed by former high-ranking US officials, sometimes even by former CIA directors.

Yeah thats why I got my self out of the U.S. Army after a year. Okay so Im half Iranian, and thought that I would make a difference until I saw what I was fighting for was a L-I-E. According to my superiors "monkeys" cant do anything. So much for talking things out.. My whole family was appauled at my efforts to begin with. I will not fight for something I dont believe in nor as treacherous as the Bush Administration. God bless you America, for we will truely need it.

Dear editor,
In reference to Margaret Manwaring's letter of Nov.13 (Tories' resolution 'turns back clock') concerning resolution M312, I am puzzled over her position.
You would think that with recent progresses of viability of life outside the womb, a "progressive" party like the NDP, of which she is a proud member, would welcome an opportunity to open a debate of when exactly life begins. After all, isn't the NDP party viewed as the moral conscience of the country? Doesn't the NDP embrace new ways of doing and seeing things? You would think that the NDP would want to be on the leading edge of change and progress.
I think the real reason that Ms. Manwaring is opposed to this debate is that she knows that this debate will result in the conclusion that life does indeed begin at conception and that through abortion, we are, indeed, slaughtering our offspring.

RELIABLE President Of Independent League Makes Last Appeal To Members Of Race "WHY AN INDEPENDENT PARTY?" MADE PLAIN (By Jesse B. Colbert, Pres. of the Independent League.) There are several strong and convincing reasons why there should be an Independent party among Colored people especially. First because it is the constitutional right of every American citizen to exercise their sovereign rights according to the dictates of their own conscience. Second, it is absolutely necessary to have independent voting to make the corrupt and professional politicians do the right thing in administering the affairs of government. It is the most effective way to have equitable and just laws enacted. An Independent movement will not fail to have a salutary effect upon all political parties. In so far as the black man is concerned the greatest stroke for political freedom was made for the Negro when the Loncoln Independent party was formed in Louisville. Of course like all great movements it will not be fully understood by the people for some time to come, but it is destined to live, for it is founded upon the principles of right and justice, like all truth "crushed to earth will rise again." The birth of Lincoln Independent party is one of the manifestations of the travailing of a race consciousness that is extant throughout the nation and will be more and more understood and appreciated as the people become intelligent and conscious of their inaliable rights as American citizens. The bible tells us that "without a vision the people perish," the Negro race is perishing to day for a lack of vision. he is suffering now because he has never become conscious of his own power and strength, when he becomes cognizant of his own resources he will rise in the majesty of his sovereign rights and demand every right guaranteed him by the constitution. The Independent party is the harbinger of a complete and full political freedom for the black man in this country, if he only had the prescience to see it. It is his political redemption, neither of the dominant political parties (Republican or Democrats) will ever accord the Negro his full constitutional rights until they are forced to do so and nothing will ever force them to do so, except by independent voting, this is what gives all people political autonomy, the right to contract bargain and treat with other political parties upon the basis of equity and justice. So long as the Negro remains a slave to the Republican party and traditionally despised by the Democratic party there is no hope for him. He should learn to divide his vote like all free people. Until the time comes when the black man's politics will not be known by the color of his skin, he will always be a political slave to party emblem and be controlled by his political bosses and masters, such as we have in Louisville today. The Independent movement in Louisville has done good already and will continue to do good, it matters not what political party is in power. The good work has been started and let us keep it up and not stop until every man in accorded his constitutional rights regardless of the color of his skin or political affiliations. Just let us suppose for a moment, that at least one half of the colored people had registered Independent at the last registration day, say 12,000, we would now be the balance of power. Both the Democrats and Republicans would be after us, they would vie with each other to secure our support, being Independent we would have the power of autonomy enabling us to contract bargain or treat with any other political party upon honorable and equitable basis, we could demand and receive racial representation on the Board of Public Works --the Board of Public Safety, representation in the City Council. Our sons and daughters would have clerkships and deputy sheriffs and guards in the county jail and hospitals and numerious other places of responsibility commensurate with their ability and fitness for such positions. Our places would not be confined to janitor and elevator jobs mark you, these are as honorable and respectable jobs as any others but we would not be confined to these jobs any more so than the whites are confined to them. There would be no question if we all or a large number of us were Independents at this particular time but we would have colored police and a fire department, not because they (the Democrats or Republican) would like to see us have them, but simply because they would be compelled to grant them as a matter of self preservation and simply because they would be forced to do so. Neither of the political parties will grant them until they are forced to do so. Can't you see Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Colored voter? For God's sake colored people let us stop and think for a moment and instead of fighting and abusing each other, just what the white man wants us to do, let us stop and think for a few moments and think, think, think, and then act, act, act, a brighter day for our political freedom is dawning. May God hasten the day. "WHY AN INDEPENDE T PARTY?" ADE PLAIN liOll&l ri~ht of t "'".rr .\meri - D.

Hedge fund managers battle over Herbalife
PUBLISHED: 11 Jan 2013 12:10:00 | UPDATED: 14 Jan 2013 07:17:47PRINT EDITION: 11 Jan 2013Pershing Square Capital's founder, Bill Ackman, says Herbalife is based on a pyramid selling scheme. Photo: Getty
Will Glasgow
Two of the richest hedge fund managers in the United States are engaged in a billion-dollar battle over nutritional supplement company Herbalife. One of them is set to lose a huge amount of money.
The stoush has caused major fluctuations in Herbalife's share price and threatens the future of the company's many distributors, including those based in Australia.
The founder of $US11 billion fund Pershing Square Capital, Bill Ackman, has taken a $US1 billion short position against the company, arguing that Herbalife's business model is unsustainable. Ackman outlined his bet against the company in an extraordinary three-hour PowerPoint presentation in New York to other investors on December 20. Herbalife's share price fell over the following days from over $US40 to $US26.
"If I am right, its share price will go to zero," Ackman said.
But a rival American hedge fund manager has come to Herbalife's defence. Third Point's Dan Loeb has called the attack "preposterous". Third Point owns 8.9 million Herbalife shares, an 8.2 per cent stake.
Loeb has backed the stock after meeting with Herbalife chief executive Michael Johnson. The share price has since regained much of its losses.
The dispute revolves around the business model of the company. Herbalife says it operates as a multilevel marketing business, which uses its distributors to sell its products. There are about 2.5 million around the world in more than 80 countries, including many in Australia.
But Ackman says the company is a pyramid scheme where profit is built on the recruitment of new distributors. He says the company gives a misleading impression of how easy it is to make money selling its products.
Herbalife's Australian operations are based in Adelaide. It is not known how distributors – who on-sell multi-vitamins, weight management supplements and skincare products – operate in Australia.
Herbalife's Asia-Pacific vice-president of corporate communications, Daliea Mohamad-Liauw, would not provide specific details of the company's Australian operations, including local distributor numbers or financial figures.

guys, would it be worthwhile to change the current i/c piping to something that has a larger diameter?
i was reading a Performance Ford type mag where they did an i/c comparison between various i/c's and the R-Spec one came with larger diameter piping which made a huge difference in terms of bhp but a lot more on torque, with standard piping in made similar power to the others.
This got me thinking as the tdci only has 2" piping. could this be replaced by 2.5" piping? would it make a difference?
the outer diameter of the i/c piping is 2" and if an aftermarket i/c was to be used which already had a larger diameter then this possibly could be matched to a large diameter pipe all the way to the turbo where it would go back to 2" and increase the air pressure going in?
your thoughts please...

Will President Obama Force Us to Swallow the Totalitarian Pill?
Put me in the same camp as Stacy McCain.
Some readers may wonder why I haven't published anything about the battle over mandatory contraceptive coverage under ObamaCare. Basically, it's because every time I try to do it, I tend to write a couple of thousand words before discarding the draft.
How in the world can I describe just how disgusted I am that our President believes he has the power to force you to engage in any activity simply because he believes it is good to you to do so? Let's not be coy here. Today, the President intends to force Catholics to provide abortion and contraceptive services in direct opposition to their beliefs. Soon, you will have to buy a health insurance policy approved by his minions, or face the full coercive power of the government. The day after that…what?
Let's also not be coy about why the President decided to take a Cloverfield Monster-sized dump on the First Amendment this week. He believes he has the power to push his ideology down your throat and if you object, you are not protecting your innate rights as a free citizen of the United States but a "cynical" foe of "women's health". If this isn't totalitarianism — your life lived in accordance to the government's whims — then I don't know what is.
And while we're not being coy, let's also get a clear vision of the President's "accommodation" (which, incidentally, will raise the cost of health insurance for everyone, so add that to the rapidly rising cost of Obamacare we'll have to pay when all the taxes, fees, rate increases, and rationing hits us over the next couple of years). He replaced his mailed fist with a velvet glove not because he had some sudden moment of Constitutional clarity but because one of his political allies who, above all else wanted to preserve "health reform", suggested that his clumsy exercise of raw power was politically idiotic. This new rule put all of his political allies behind a very large, angry 8-Ball and he was too blinkered by his progressive ideology to see it. So he changed, again not because he understood that he was blowing a three-foot hole in the Constitution but because he risked destroying health reform, which has been the progressive Holy Grail since before the time of FDR. In the end, his "accommodation" didn't solve the problem, but set it back just long enough for him to mollify those in his camp who call themselves Catholics.
The problems still remain. America is, despite the President's efforts to make it otherwise, a free country. We still have certain inalienable rights that belong only to us. Our government is only useful to us so long as it acts as the guarantor or those rights. The moment the government acts as if it has the power to grant those rights to us, it becomes our enemy. Right now, Barack Obama is acting like our enemy and we would do well to remember that in November.

Tim Finnerty for BHS Head Varsity Football Coach
As B.H.S Football fans we\'ve been extremely fortunate to have had Bill Murray as Head football coach for so many years. Now that he has retired, It is critical that you help insure the hiring of someone with a winning track record and a love of the game. Over the last two seasons we\'ve witnessed coaches arguing with coaches, players disagreement in coaches and parents disagreement in coaching. We\'ve seen what a \"control the clock\", \"play not to lose\" philosophy will do to a season. We\'ve also seen what the B.H.S. Junior varsity program has done over several years as well as what was accomplished when Tim Finnerty was in charge of the offense in 2005 - an unforgetable playoff run! Sign this petition and give Tim Finnerty the job. Send it others so that they may support him as well. Let\'s do what is necessary to insure B.H.S. Varsity Football begins the new conference series as a contender for the state title. The kids deserve everything Tim Finnerty has to offer. Sign Now!

Hangover Brunch: Swingers
Swingers is great because it's (a) close to us, and (b) practically open 24 hours a day. Although we usually find ourselves at Swingers post 2am with the drunk munchies, it is also one of the best hangover brunch spots to find yourself at the morning after a long night of boozing.
It is a diner, and if you haven't been (although who really hasn't been to Swingers?!), don't let that fool you because the food is actually pretty good. The menu is huge and has everything your hungover self would want – pancakes, a fried egg sandwich (my fave), burgers, a stuffed grilled cheese (yum), and much more. Not to mention, it's pretty inexpensive, with most items on the menu hovering right around $8-$9.
And of course, the best part, enjoying the hair of the dog the next day won't cost you too much at Swingers either. Mimosas are only $5.25 (or a plain glass of bubbly just $5), and beers are as cheap as $3 (PBR, of course).
Swingers Diner. 8020 Beverly Blvd (or 802 Broadway for the SM location). www.swingersdiner.com

Freshman Rodon leads Wolfpack to super regionalsRALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — It's hard to tell what has added up quicker: North Carolina State pitcher Carlos Rodon's accomplishments, or his strikeout total. He's the first freshman in two years to be named a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award as the nation's best college player. That came after he became the first Atlantic Coast Conference freshman voted as the league's pitcher of the year. And he has the Wolfpack in their first super regional since 2008. N.C. State (43-18) visits No. 1 seed Florida (45-18) this weekend for a best-of-three series with the winner advancing to the College World Series. Rodon is 9-0 and hasn't taken a loss since his junior year in high school. He's third nationally with 132 strikeouts — the only freshman in the top 25. Most Popular |

Name calling has already begun in the race for Ohio Governor but it's not what you think. The Ohio Republican Party has requested documents that Democratic Gubernatorial candidate and Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald has not signed because his name was not spelled correctly. And as Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles reports, the Ohio Democratic Party is firing back with a similar request of its own.
Back in 2011, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald put out a staff memo saying he would no longer sign legal documents in which his name was misspelled with a lower case rather than a capital "G". Matt Henderson with the Ohio Republican Party wants copies of all records for which FitzGerald's name was misspelled.
Henderson: "Ohioans deserve to know if Ed's refusal to sign important state and federal documents interfered with disaster relief aid, critical public safety measures or any other issues."
Jerid Kurtz with the Ohio Democratic Party says this is a case of the Republican Party just playing political games.
Kurtz: "In response to the rather farsical request that the Republican Party submitted, we have submitted a request, taking their language nearly identically asking for any documentation that Governor Kasich may have signed that misspelled his name that might be considered not legally sound or enforceable."
The flap over misspelled names comes less than 24 hours after FitzGerald, a Democrat, announced he will run against Republican Governor John Kasich next fall.

Register3 Ways Business Planning is Like Dribbling a Ball
3 Ways Business Planning is Like Dribbling a Ball
Think of basketball or soccer. In both of these popular sports, dribbling is what the players do to move the ball in the right direction. It's not the point of the game, it doesn't score baskets or goals, but it's an important skill, right? I think of dribbling as a great analogy for business planning. And here are some reasons why—and some lessons I suggest we can take from that.
- Dribbling is a means to an end—not the goal. Planning is like that too. It's about results, running a business—not at all about the plan itself. Good planning is measured by the decisions it causes. It's about managing, allocating resources and accountability. I've written this in several places: "You measure a business plan by the decisions it causes." And this: "Good business planning is nine parts execution for every one part strategy."
- Think of the moment when the player gets the ball in the wrong end of the court or field. That's either a defensive rebound in basketball or a missed shot on goal in soccer. The tall player gets the basketball and gives it to the one who normally dribbles up court. Or the goalie gets the ball and gives it to a defender. At that moment, in a well-coached team: 1) there is a plan in place and 2) the player knows the plan but is completely empowered to change the plan instantly depending on how the play develops. Business planning done right is very much like that. The existence of a plan—take the ball up the side, pass to the center—helps the team know what ought to happen. But changes—the opponents do something unexpected—are also expected. The game plan doesn't lock the players in to doing the wrong thing or not responding to developments. It helps them make the instant choices, changing the plan correctly...and when they do, the other players can guess the next step better because of the plan.
- Dribbling involves simultaneously looking up, at the field, and developments going on; and down, at the ball, hands, and feet, to manage the details. Proper business planning, in very much the same way, requires looking up at the figurative horizon—threats, opportunities, competition, market developments, etc.—and down at the details: tasks, deadlines, budgets, accountability, and of course cash flow and plan vs. actual.
I've always liked this analogy because it dispels the myth that having a plan reduces flexibility to react to developments. Planning isn't voided by change; on the contrary, having a plan makes reactions easier. There is no virtue in following a plan just because it's the plan. Proper planning means regular review and revision.

Hear M.I.A.'s Menacing 'Matangi' B-Side 'Trouble Again'
Recent SPIN profile subject embraces her bad reputation
M.I.A. isn't one to shy away from trouble. She's still embroiled in a legal battle with the NFL over a finger, she had no problem telling Stephen Colbert she doesn't watch his show, her new album Matangi is as dazzling as it is infuriating, and, as Maya Arulpragasm herself told SPIN, trouble has been finding her since she was a child. With all that in mind, the title of M.I.A.'s freshly shared Matangi bonus cut "Trouble Again" could come across as a nonchalant shrug. Instead, the revision of the album's "Double Bubble Trouble" is a bass-wobbling slow-groover featuring warped vocals and our hostess' own menacing chant — "Cos I've got a reputation / Got a, got a reputation." Hit play on that B-side below via Spotify, and peruse SPIN's Best Albums of 2013 while you listen..

CENTRAL POINT, Ore. — Police responded to a trespasser at Crater High School on Thursday afternoon, and a short foot chase through a nearby neighborhood ensued. Crater High School students noticed a man trying to get onto the school's football field and reported it to school administrators.
Police say the man seemed out of place, and when they arrived on scene just moments later, he was not cooperating with their commands and acting out of control. The man then jumped a barbwire fence and ran into a nearby neighborhood where police were able to track him and the suspect surrendered.
During the incident, Crater High School was put on lockdown for a brief time while police looked for the suspect. The suspect was arrested for second degree criminal trespassing, but he was also someone another agency was interested in questioning.
"Grants Pass Department of Public Safety detectives who had interest in him for some unrelated incident took him out of our custody and we released him to them," said James Gilman with Central Point Police.
Earlier that day, the bank inside the Grants Pass Fred Meyer was robbed. Two detectives from the Grants Pass Police are questioning the man, but no charges have been filed yet in the Grants Pass bank robbery.
