What is considered uniquely valuable and compelling for consumers?
As the importance of content appears to be a focus within the digital space, it is evident marketers are beginning to see the value it can provide. According to a recent HiveFire Survey cited in eMarketer, content creation is a focus for many marketers in an effort to: establish thought leadership, elevate brands variability and buzz, increase lead generation, and boost SEO. While it is beneficial to create content, it is also necessary to create something uniquely valuable and compelling for consumers.
These days, "content strategy" usually means the creation or gathering of it – with the right end goal in mind (thought leadership and SEO), but frequently overlooks the consumer. The absence of a consumer content-focused strategy can often result in an overload of irrelevant content, choice avoidance, and layers of confusion for consumers.
This begs the question: What is considered uniquely valuable and compelling for consumers? What is something you can offer consumers they have not read or seen before, and offers some sort of engagement value going beyond the mere means of pushing content out? Back-to-basics, customer-focused research can often provide insights into what problems consumers are facing within a particular category or brand and give valuable ideas, from something informative or entertaining, to a utility they could never imagine not having had before.
By recognizing online user behaviors and how and where they are interacting with content, utilities, applications, etc., we can create timely solutions, increasing consumer engagement, and yes, value.
It is this focus on content that is also translating to how powerful the right content can be delivered to consumers through advertising, therefore offering them something valuable. Dynamic banners offer specific content based on your previous online experience with a brand, sharing of content, searches, or in the simplest form, a historical glimpse at your online behavior.
The advanced targeting capabilities that exist today often lend themselves to very rich data about consumers inclusive of location, demographics, psychographics, online behaviors, and conversion propensity. Marketers now have the power to target and declare how valuable specific consumers are to them – paying more for someone who would perceive your content or message to be more valuable based on the vast amount of audience data available today.
And while the content is important, it is the context in which content is delivered that is equally important. Marketing at the point of need (including the right time, the right place, and the right message) is all a part of strategic content. With all of this data and insight, we often know what type of consumer we are reaching; however, we are losing the ability to define the context in which they receive the message. Are they receptive to the message? We know they have the predisposition to be responsive, but in what context are they receiving the message?
Marketers are working harder to bring value to consumers beyond the banner - from a branded custom radio channel, live sports scores, or the ability to interact with celebrities at events through Twitter. What is one man's junk may be another man's treasure. Value is in the eye of the beholder, as is the context in which it is delivered.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Increases expected for Manitoba crop production: survey
Manitoba farmers are anticipating strong increases in production of canola, spring wheat, soybeans, corn for grain and oats this year according to the latest Statistics Canada survey released this morning.
The survey said Manitoba farmers anticipate strong production growth across the board compared to last year — canola up 49.7 per cent, spring wheat up 44.7 per cent, soybeans up 41.75 per cent, oats up 57.4 per cent, feed corn up 38.9 per cent from the previous high in 2003, barley up 155 per cent compared to last year and a quadrupling of the sunflower crop up 271.7 per cent.
Much of the growth is attributed to the fact that last year more than three million total acres of farmland was under water. This year flooded farmland is much less of a problem although about 40,000 acres in the Assiniboine valley could not be seeded due to flooding.
Expectations are that a record 3.5 million acres of canola will be harvested in the province (the previous record was 3.2 million acres in 2009).
Spring wheat acreage harvested will be up 23 per cent to 2.4 million acres. Manitoba farmers chose to seed more than 49 per cent more acres of soybeans this year and 500,000 acres of oats were planted this year compared to 85,000 last year.
Barley acreage planted is up 77.8 per cent, corn up 65.7 per cent and sunflower acreage up 46.6 per cent.

The personal satisfaction that one has in view as the motive for doing (or omitting) something. In Christian morality, personal satisfaction is not excluded from human behavior, but it should not be the primary or even dominant motive for the practice of virtue. The main reason should be to please God, even when what he wants may not subjectively please the one who does it.

JIT Report Critical of Hudson Intermediate School
A New York State Joint Intervention Team conducted a review which found one of the city of Hudson's intermediate schools falling behind: Hudson Valley Bureau Chief Dave Lucas reports on the recommendation to restructure the Montgomery C. Smith School.
It's not a "crisis" situation, but there is work to be done at the Smith School - the New York State Joint Intervention Team conducted a review of Smith back in January - finding the grade 3-6 school failed to make sufficient academic progress and describing it as "unlikely to improve its performance under the current structure and organization."
The review team leader is James Butterworth, Executive Director of CASDA, the Capital Area Schools Development Association, "the field arm of the school of education" at the University at Albany. The JIT recommended the school develop and implement a restructuring plan to include changes in staff and organizational structure. Butterworth says schools today are increased scrutiny and have may requirements that must be met.
Among the team's key findings: Academic expectations for students are generally low, and there is a lack of shared vision and mission for student success. School Principal Mark Brenneman explains the school has embraced the report.
Now that the problems have been identified, Butterworth says the school must act. Butterworth will present the Joint Intervention Team findings to the Hudson City Board of Education.

Alert: The following services will be unavailable on Saturday, January 5, 2013 from 12 a.m. (midnight) to 6 a.m. CST due to system maintenance.
WisDOT Radio Newsline
March 27, 2015
Here's a real "sign" of spring. The Wisconsin DOT and county highway crews are busy repairing or replacing highway signs damaged by snowplows and other vehicles. The state oversees about 300,000 signs along the state highway system including speed limit, directional, warning, and guidance signs. Following a typical winter season, around 5,000 such signs need to be repaired or replaced due to damage from collisions or because they're nearing the end of their service life. With a variety of work taking place along state roadways, safety officials are reminding drivers to slow down or move over when they come upon highway maintenance vehicles, emergency responders or tow trucks stopped along the road with warning lights flashing. Audio
People with their tax refund in hand may consider now a good time to purchase a new or used vehicle. Before heading out to a dealer lot, do your homework. Determine what type of vehicle meets your needs and budget. If you're financing, compare dealer rates to what local lenders can offer. If you're considering a used vehicle, a vehicle history report is often a wise investment. You may also want to talk with the vehicle's previous owners. Licensed dealers in Wisconsin are required to provide prospective buyers with the name and address of a vehicle's former owner.
Bicyclists are taking advantage of the longer days, later sunsets, and warmer temperatures. Preventing bicycle crashes, injuries and deaths requires bike operators and motorists to share the road and watch out for each other. State safety officials say bicyclists should wear helmets, bright-colored clothing and lights for protection and to make themselves as visible as possible. Motorists should be alert for bicyclists especially at intersections. The most common time for bicyclist crashes is between 3 and 7 p.m. — the hours after school and the period when many adults commute from work. There were four bicyclists killed along Wisconsin roadways last year. Audio

Smalley thought her mic was turned off after a news story about the effectiveness of an emergency contraceptive pill for women weighing more than 70kg. Obviously gravely offended by the knowledge that the average New Zealand bloke-ess weighs in at (gasp) 72kg, she was heard to comment that we Kiwi chicks are "heifers" and a "bunch of lardos".
Outrage ensued both online and off, and Smalley did the cliched "apology" thing: I'm so sorry, please forgive me, yada, yada, yada …
But let's be honest here: she was apologising because she was caught out, not because she felt bad about what she said. Because if that had been the case, she wouldn't have said it in the first place.
As someone who falls into the slightly more generously proportioned category, I'm not particularly offended by her comments. I am, however, offended by yet another person in the public eye who has cocked up and expects us to believe that suddenly, they have seen the error of their ways and want us to forgive them.
On Facebook, several people commented that Paul Henry has said worse. And yes, he has. And I have no doubt he will continue to say things that offend the masses. However, at least he owns it. Love him or hate him, there's no denying the man says what he thinks and would never consider offering a bullshit apology just to stay in the good books.
I'd have had more respect for Smalley if she'd just told all us heifers to fuck off and eat a pie.
This was OK, but not earth-shatteringly good. It felt a little greasy when I first applied it but did eventually absorb quite well.
At first, the smell struck me as a bit medicinal but the more I've used it, the more the smell has grown on me.
More importantly, I like the way my hands have felt after using it: clean, smooth and soft.
And at first glance, $15 seems quite a reasonable price, but this is for quite a small tube. That said, it's actually a convenient size to chuck in your bag.
AVEDA HAND RELIEF (RRP $15 for 40ml)
The theme this month was "Blissful Indulgence", which seems a bit fluffy given the contents of the box. Sure, there was little block of chocolate in there (and I was a good little diabetic and passed it on to my hubby), but the rest of it didn't feel particularly indulgent.
Earlier this year the GoodieBox experience felt a little pedestrian but this one was a bit better than the previous month, which in turn was a lot better than January's Goodiebox. However, they have yet to live up to the offerings from the latter half of last year.
Total value of the March Goodiebox: $87.87, plus whatever the Hershey's chocolate was worth.
Here's the rundown on my March goodies. Click on the links for full reviews of some products.
AVEDA HAND RELIEF (RRP $15 for 40ml. Full-sized product provided): A dinky week tube of hand cream with vitamin A and E. Not as perfumed as some hand creams. Not sure this fits the "blissful indulgence" criteria: it's more functional than indulgent.
ANGEL HAIRCARE ORANGE FLOWER SHINING COLOUR SHAMPOO & COLOUR PROTECT HAIR MASK (RRP $39.50 each for 400ml shampoo/300ml hair mask. 8ml sachet of each provided so value approx $1.85): I don't have coloured hair: who'd have thunk it? Anyone who knew me "back in the day" would probably have been shocked at the thought of me going "au naturale" with my noggin: no spikes, no streaks, no pink or purple, no nothing. Just boring ol' me. According to the Goodiebox info card, this stuff can defy science and logic, and magically "will strengthen hair from within". Bullshit.
ANGEL HAIRCARE HELICHRYSUM REVITALIZING SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER (RRP $39.50 each for 400ml. 8ml sachet of each provided so value approx $1.62): This is more my style: it's for dry, dull and damaged hair. Let's hope it lives up to the hype. Not such a fan of the stingy foil sachet samples but I guess there's a pretty decent range of full-sized goodies to make up for it.
JEMMA KIDD TONE-ON-TONE DUO (RRP $48 for 3g. Full-sized product provided): A cream-to-powder from the range produced by supermodel Jemma Kidd. Says it's non-creasing so it will be interesting to see how it goes, since cream eye shadows aren't always great on older eyes.
MANHATTAN DOUBLE LOOP LIP LINER (RRP $18 for 6ml. Full-sized product provided): Another Manhattan product this month, this time a lip liner with a built-in lip gloss.
ROBERTO CAVALLI ACQUA (RRP $85 for 30ml. 1.2ml sample, so value approx $3.40): A Mediterranean holiday in a bottle, according to the GoodieBox info card. This was in a little glass tube with a squirter on top. Cute.
LIFESTYLE BOOSTER: Hershey's Milk Chocolate (unsure of price): The bloke of the house appeared to enjoy this. I asked how it was but he just muttered something along the lines of "mmmmm" and carried on chewing. I think that was a positive response!
It's a subscription service where you pay a monthly fee to receive a box of beauty products delivered to your door. The cost is around $30 a month (including delivery), and for that you will get a minimum of five "premium" beauty samples. These samples are generous sizes, and often there are a few full-sized products in your little box of goodies. Click here to join.
All the way from Denmark, this product performs a little magic trick. It starts as a liquid but dries matte, so there's no smudging. And interestingly, even though it dries to a matte finish, it doesn't feel dry on the lips.
It also smells pretty amazing: none of that weird melted plastic pong you get with so many liquid lippies. Nosiree Bob, my one was reminiscent of a chocolate cake. Not overly strong, but there was a subtle hint of it.
I got a fairly innocuous shade that works well for my colouring without being too boring … sort of a coffee-ish colour.
I might even try this one out in one of the more in-your-face shades on offer.
One of those diet drink things, this one was in banana flavour, which put me off from the get-go. Bananas aren't really my favourite fruit anyway, but fake banana flavours are just plain nasty.
A quick read through of the information and words like "green tea extract" and "soy protein" put me off even more: they both taste like arse and I'm sick to death of them being heralded as the be-all and end-all of good health. Especially soy: it makes me itchy and I actually know more people who have been found to have issues with soy than with the lactose in real milk from those things that go moo (although, I'm still wondering how humans first worked out that you could drink cow's milk and what exactly the first person to make that discovery was actually doing to the cow when he had the moo breakthrough).
I passed this on to my well-insured husband, who said it was okay but a bit sickly and that he prefers the Eat Me Supplements Lean Shake mixes I've been buying of late. Besides, at $6 a sachet, these work out a lot more expensive and have a lot less protein: one serve of Celebrity Slim has just 18.7g of protein, one serve of Lean Shake (made with non-fat milk) has a whopping 40.9g. It also works out at just $1.96 a serve (plus the cost of milk) if you buy the 1kg bag.
And it does taste better.
LIFESTYLE BOOSTER: Celebrity Slim (RRP $6 per sachet)
Who'd have thunk it: I know some clean jokes! OK, so they aren't particularly funny but it's a hard road finding the perfect joke.
Why is the ocean wet?
Because the sea weed.
Why did the fly fly?
Because the spider spied her.
What do you call a kungfu pig?
What do you call a blind deer?
No idea.
What do you call a dead blind deer?
Still no idea.
How do you kill a circus?
Go for the juggler!
In the greatest scandal to rock children's television since Big Bird started toking up and imagining a big hairy critter named Snuffy, a mum in Cardiff reckons her young daughter has picked up a naughty word (starts with F, ends in UCK; rhymes with duck) from Peppa Pig.
To be honest, I initially thought she was just having a bit of a whinge, but after listening I have to say it certainly sounds like one of those words that would have made my Standard 1 teacher Mrs Bridgeman shudder. And Mrs Bridgeman was pretty resilient (and hairy, too. But that's probably not relevant to the conversation. But damn, that woman had a hairy chin).
But I digress. Have a listen: what do you reckon?
I make no secret of the fact that I am no fan of any of the Kardashians (famous for fuck all apart from dodgy marriages and, well, actually that's about it). But I really think it's scraping the bottom of the barrel to be banging on about Bruce Jenner's puckered jawline being a combination of ageing and botched plastic surgery.
Yes, he may well have had some questionable plastic surgery back in the day but holy crap … he's a 64-year-old bloke with a wrinkly neck. Isn't that normal? A whole lot more normal than mama Kardashian (Kris?) and her taut, line-free face. Or indeed the faces of so many Hollywood types, with their wind-tunnel look hiding any evidence of age.
Here's the deal: as we get older, our skin loses a little of it's perkiness. As do many of our other bits and pieces. This is how it is meant to be. I hardly think gravity is newsworthy.
OK, so he's a slightly odd-looking bloke with slightly effeminate features (rumours are of an impending sex change surgery, which he has denied … who knows), but the wrinkly neck is probably not as bad as that of the average, normal REAL 64-year-old.
The high-waisted grandad pants (click on the link below)? Well that's a whole other story!

Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: With the Grand Alliance partners refusing to budge an inch on four or five problem seats and marathon discussions not yielding any breakthrough, Telugu Desam on Sunday appeared not averse to the idea of having friendly contests in these constituencies.
Sources in Telugu Desam Party, which is heading the alliance said if the issue continues to be unresolved by Monday afternoon, it would settle for such contests but it is keen that these should not exceed five. The argument put forward is when there could be as many as 16 in 2004 Assembly elections among Congress and its allies then, TRS and Left parties, why not five now. At the same time, the TDP leadership wants to leave no stone unturned in avoiding these contests but was prepared for the worst scenario. This was better than continuously trying to convince and cajole the partners to fall in line when they look intractable.

Comment: Re:Reform IP (Score 1) 257
So you say, if we could automate away all work, because many would not spend all that free time as you think is useful, we have to create artificial work to keep the people busy?
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
So you say, if we could automate away all work, because many would not spend all that free time as you think is useful, we have to create artificial work to keep the people busy?
You shoudl imagine the following: you invest $50k to replace yourself (on the job) with a robot. Now you have 100% free time and the robot earns your income, produces stuff etc. Everyone could be happy.
But the question is: who gets to buy and use the robot and its income?
In the end, automation should be able to produce more than enough for everyone. The only remaining question is how we distribute all that wealth.
But I have the feelig that this is not what's going to happen, due to greed and hunger for power of todays "happy few".
Suppose I could invest $50k and get a kind of robotic copy of myself. I could send that to work and do my job for me, enjoy lots of free time and the same income.
On the other hand, suppose my employer would invest these $50k....
In the end, the question is how the "spoils" of automation will be distributed about the population. Indeed that doesn't look good now.
In the future we will have more than enough production capacity to fulfull our needs and wishes, but if we use that capacity to any good, that is compete redistribution of all of it, is questionable. The current trend doesn't look good, but I think economists will see, sooner or later, that the alternative is for the rich to live in a state of siege, military protected and guarded against the masses.
Economic laws do change fundamentally, it is hard to predict. However, suppose a robot could do the 10-fold work of what most people could do. Indeed we would not run out of ideas on what to do, but if you could replace yourself, would you continue to add your 10% "output" for 10% extra income, or would you rather have 100% spare time for about 90% income? That is the trade off that will be made in the end.
As robots get more powerful compared to man, and the "pseudo-intelligece" will surpass that of most humans for most tasks, I find it really hard to see how most people would still have meaningful jobs.
It is not about imagining the output, it is about imagining what extra significant contributation most men could make in relation to robots.
Sometimes there are benefits and risks at the same time. The suppliers seek big profits and will always emphasise the benefits. It is not that black and white, and therefore not so easy to get a fraud judgement when suppliers skew the opinion of the people through large marketing budgets. The profits easily pay for a lot of influence.
Sometimes politics has to regulate, and especially neutralize the unwanted pressure from commerce. There are various means, such as diminishing the lobby influence over politicians, to having a strong public television system to counteract skewed information from commercial parties.

One of the effects of drinking, is that it lessens self control.
Indeed and many other civilized countries show that it can be different. In the UK the police don't even carry guns. Their job is much less dangerous than the para-military job the police is in the US, obviously.
Violence and agression provokes reaction. The first job of the police should be to calm down and de-escalate, not behave almost like an army.
But most US citizens probably don't remember (and never look abroad for guidance) that it could be different.
If any cop that can be proven to have abused his power is fired, it will stop.
If the root of the problem here is actually not the policy, but the individual cops not sticking to the policy, firing is the only thing you can do.
If the root of the problem is in local politics indeed, then these people are lying and those have to be fired (and locked up).
I read that we have lot of old retro-virus material in our DNA. Maybe this is how it went before, we get into a kind of symbiosis with the virus until it somehow merges into our DNA permanently? I'm not a microbiologist though, just guessing.
In fact, the (my) first google hit for symbiosis retrovirus was http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pm..., which superficially seems to think in the same direction w.r.t. past.
At my first employer we had exactly this situation. The secretary used to change the backup tapes on the server. We, as a team of 10 developers had been working around 6 months developing software modules when we got a crash. It turned out the backups had been made on cleaning tapes.
This was in 1992, noone had the opportunity to make multiple copies, we only had our disk and the backup. 60 man months of work gone.
Onthe other hand, incentives might increase. Is there any proof?
Race to the bottom then, for all employees? Corporations, even though they have not been elected or are properly under democratic control, have more negotiation power than the employees?
That cannot work for too long, sooner or later a revolution will come. Either that, or massive military suppression of the people.

When executing the following code I get "1f4d" at the top of the line. Looks like some noise. How do I fix this?
$snoopy = new Snoopy();
$url = "http://eoe.is/liverpool/?feed=rss2";
echo $snoopy->results;
Well, you load an XML file ... and then you simply try to display it`s contents .... nothing wrong so far ... but if your browser has character-encoding set on WESTERN and the XML has UTF8, you might get something like that... which is the signature of UTF encoding .... I`m not sure if this is the case ... but try to run the code again .. and play a little with your browser encodings... (View-> Character Encoding ->...... for FireFox Mozilla) .... lemme know how it went...
I've tried playing with the browser encodings, but still I get the same result as before. I've also tried saving the content to a file, but with the same results. And I've tried using some UTF8 encoding and decoding functions in PHP as well.
Oh and I tried executing this in the following browsers: IE 6, IE 7, Mozilla Firefox and Safari.
I'm beginning to think that this is a bug in Snoopy.
often this happens if you use snoopy with HTTP/1.1 instead of 1.0.
but sometimes i noticed this also happens when using HTTP/1.0
i always thought it is my crappy code but if it happens to you too i will be a bug i think...
as workaround you can cut the "crap-chars" out, e.g with substr()
After a further examination of the output from snoopy->results, there is more "noise" later in the contents as well, so using substr() is not a good solution, maybey only for this file, put I'm using this on a few hundred of feeds and the noise never is the same.
This seams to be a bug in WP 2.1.X, after the user update to version 2.2 this extra code is gone.

Hotels in Maui
With everything from beach bungalows to luxurious resorts, hotels in Maui have something for every traveler. Whether you need to unplug in a secluded hideaway, get the finest spa treatments right on the beach, or find the best water sports the island has to offer, Maui hotels have your the ideal vacation on the tropical island. Accommodations on the island are notoriously gorgeous with amenities to fit any vacationer's needs.
Four Seasons Resort Maui in Wailea is right on the beach. The five-star property is easily one of the best hotels in Maui, with a saltwater infinity-edge pool and excursions for scuba diving and canoeing, to get up close and personal with sea turtles. Choose a garden view room for the best scenery. The Fairmont Kea Lani is a dramatic hideaway on sprawling grounds with views of the mountains and the ocean. Also near Wailea, the opportunities to explore the ocean's wildlife are exceptional. The award-winning restaurant, Ko, was recently renovated. Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas are just a few yards from one of the best beaches in Hawaii, Ka'anapali Beach. The resort is simple and luxurious, and just a few minutes drive from the best golf courses on the island. On Maui's southwest shore, the Grand Wailea is a sprawling 40-acre property complete with a lazy river pool and the largest spa in Hawaii.
Maui's Lahaina Beach area is home to these guest vacation rentals that a mix of hotel-style accommodations and timeshares. There are 277 suites on 12 floors, ranging from one-bedroom guestrooms to three-bedroom oceanfront villas.
Formerly the Maui Prince Hotel.
Low-key hotel on 1,800 acres abutting a crescent of white sand. New in 2011: the Makena Kai Day Spa and a seafood-focused restaurant.
At the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa, director of astronomy Eddie Mahoney ushers couples to the rooftop, where a 16-inch reflector telescope is set up next to strawberries and Château Michelle champagne.
The five rooms are simple but elegant, with white-and-yellow walls, bamboo floors, and travertine tile bathrooms; a 150-foot path leads to a secluded stretch of beach.
The hotel, centrally located near shops and restaurants on the south shore, has 72 streamlined suites—all of which are 900 square feet, with soaking tubs and private lanais.
Formerly Hotel Hana-Maui & Honua Spa
For a sprawling resort, the Westin Ka'anapali manages to exude calm. This is in part due to the lone (though large) pool—a marked contrast to the aqua-playground of sister property the Westin Maui Resort & Spa.
Until recently, the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua's buttoned-up European look was strangely out of touch with its tropical surroundings. After a $180 million renovation completed in 2008, the hotel has lost the chintzy curtains, faux Renaissance artwork, and yes, the fireplace in the library.
A traditional lei greeting accompanied by Hawaiian punches and treats sets the tone upon arrival at Wailea Beach Villas, an exclusive island retreat on Maui.
Owner Donna Stafford began renting eco-friendly accommodations in 2001, and her cottages, houses, apartments, and B&Bs range from smaller lodgings for one or two people to groups of 20.
Pure Maui, a luxury travel agency, assists clients in planning customized vacations. The company has a selection of more than 25 private residences, ranging from an eight-bedroom estate on the beach to a bungalow with a private pool.
Moorish-inspired hideaway (domes, dramatic archways, and whitewashed walls) on 22 tropical acres. Brave a 140-foot waterslide, string orchids into leis, and golf with a view of mountains and ocean.
Inside, calm and collected. Outside, aquatic uproar: five pools, slides, waterfalls, and a broad swath of Kaanapali Beach, with sucba, parasailing, and snorkeling at coral-crusted Black Rock.

Astros finalize 25-man roster; purchase contracts of Ankiel, Bedard

Astros manager Bo Porter embraces challenge of rebuilding season
Don't tell Bo Porter the Astros aren't any good. Don't tell a first-year manager he can't change a young, rebuilding club's culture before a single regular-season game is played. Don't mention the unavoidable potential for three consecutive 100-loss seasons. Don't reference key minor league prospects at least two years away from the big leagues; an […] [Read More]
Jonathan Singleton has potential to jumpstart Astros' rebuild
No one player can immediately save the Astros. The rebuilding club's major league turnaround isn't targeted until 2015. And that's just a launch date – not a planned World Series celebration. But while prospects including shortstops Carlos Correa and Jonathan Villar, righthanded pitcher Mike Foltynewicz and center fielder George Springer work their way through the […] [Read More]
Rebuilding project: Making dream a reality is Astros' daunting task
This is the dream: It's 2015, the Astros matter and Minute Maid Park roars again. Carlos Correa owns shortstop, no longer a potential franchise-changing prospect but a young, clean Alex Rodriguez in the flesh. Correa's swift and steady, thrilling and untouchable. And he's surrounded by talent: George Springer, Jonathan Singleton, Delino DeShields Jr. Exciting names […] [Read More]
Breaking down the Astros' roster
First base Many positions capture the deep holes in a mix-and-match Astros opening-day roster worth about $20 million and possessing no star power. First base is the clearest symbol. It's the Astros' deepest position. It's also loaded with question marks and received little clarity during a seven-week spring training run in Kissimmee, Fla. Brett Wallace, […] [Read More]
Astros' Alex White placed on 60-day DL; Edgar Gonzalez recalled from Class AAA
Astros righthander Alex White was placed on the 60-day disabled list Saturday. White underwent a magnetic resonance imaging exam prior to the Astros' 6-3 exhibition victory against the Chicago Cubs at Minute Maid Park. White undergoes MRI; dealing with unnormal velocity drop Astros righthander Edgar Gonzalez was called up from Class AAA Oklahoma City. White […] [Read More]
Astros' 2013 season could be defined by AL West-heavy April schedule
How will the rebuilding Astros and their MLB-low $20 million active payroll fare in 2013? Can first-year manager Bo Porter continue to motivate, inspire and reach his mix-and-match team throughout a six-month, 162-game season? Will the Astros defy the baseball world's expectations and win 70-plus games, or will they drop at least 100 for a […] [Read More]
Astros' Alex White undergoes MRI; dealing with unnormal velocity drop
Astros righthander Alex White underwent a magnetic resonance imaging exam Saturday prior to an exhibition game against the Chicago Cubs at Minute Maid Park. White allowed three hits and three earned runs in one inning Friday during an abbreviated start against Chicago. He exited the game with elbow discomfort. White said Saturday he's "always" dealt […] [Read More]
Astros OF Fernando Martinez placed on DL; J.D. Martinez recalled from Class AAA
The Astros were one of the healthiest teams in baseball throughout spring training. But with just one day remaining before the start of the regular season, the club is beginning to deal with key injuries. The Astros placed outfielder Fernando Martinez (oblique/back) on the 15-day disabled list Saturday. Martinez's DL stint is retroactive to March […] [Read More]

⬅ Return to Creating a Safe Space in the Most Obvious Place: At Home
Jun 1st, 2012 at 12:33pm
I'm a victim of domestic violence with a restraining order against my husband in 2 states (I relocated), and am in the address confidentiality program in my new state. Yet, the judge in the divorce case in FL ordered me to provide my husband with new home address, the name and address of my employer. When I refused for my safety, the judge struck my pleadings and prohibited me from participating in my own divorce. There are no children involved, and this should NEVER happen.
Dec 25th, 2012 at 1:28am
My ex-husband and the legal/justice system terrified me for years. In fact, I ended up remarried to him because, after spending thousands to protect myself from his motions to restrict & cut off contact between me and our children ... and his numerous violations not only of Court orders but neglecting (intentionally) their medical and dental care. Tried to get a protective order in 2003; Sheriff's dept "couldn't find the residence" they'd been to numerous times before ... and after, giving him time to forestall me with a contempt cite. I landed in jail trying to protect our children. He divorced me again (recently), promising to bankrupt me through it ... and now trying to get out of the settlement and saddle me with $1000/mo in bills for a place I don't even want to live at. But it cost $8000 to "protect" myself and daughters - somewhat - and finances getting very tight. Oh, well. I consider myself a "legally regulated hostage" nowadays.

Snickers Apple Salad
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: My family's Thanksgiving meal is a potluck, and one year my aunt brought this salad and it was a huge hit. I brought it to an office party and it was well loved there, too. Over the years I've experimented with adding different fruits and nuts to the 3 basic ingredients (apples, Snickers bars, and Cool Whip), and I've found dried cranberries to be the best addition. Apples and cranberries always pair well, and the tartness of the cranberries balances the sweetness of the other ingredients. - AbbyJaneway
Serves 4-6
- 3 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, diced
- 3 regular-size Snickers candy bars, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until well-coated by the Cool Whip. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

We are working hard on designing and implementing skateparks throughout the city. TheSkateboard Amenities Strategy (SAS) provides the framework for achieving a city-wide network for future skateboard parks in Calgary.
In 2014, we held open houses in three quadrants in the city and collected input from an online survey to hear from Calgarians. As a result, the City selected eight sites for future construction, with support from the communities. See theSkateboard Park Site Selection Report for information on the selection process.
Skatepark frequently asked questions
Public engagement is a process that allows citizens to get involved in public issues they care about. More importantly, it informs the decisions made by The City of Calgary. Public engagement is critical to the success of the Skateboard Amenities Strategy: Implementation.
In 2014, we engaged the communities, residents and users in the initial planning and stages of the proposed skatepark sites (communities listed above). The draft concept drawings have incorporated the feedback and preferences heard from previous engagement activities and design workshops.
While the concept drawings represent the community preferences and individuality to date, the open houses are another opportunity to further customize these amenities.

Blue Mountain's psych rockers Cloud Control have checked in for the first time since setting up base camp at a studio in central England. We can confirm that the band are hard at it working on the full-length follow-up to their 2010 album, Bliss Release.
Not too much else has been revealed about the release. If you head over to a Tumblr page set up in honour of the announcement, aptly named Cloud Control Are In The Studio, you can catch a bit of a sneak peak into the studio action. Coming in at just under a minute, the video doesn't give away a lot, but it seems like the band are plotting a big record.
Since hitting national airplay on triple j with the track Death Cloud back in 2008, Cloud Control have gone on to thrive in the international market. Recently, they ticked 'support Weezer' off their bucket list.
Stay tuned for updates on the album as they come.

The Q Sphere Series by chrislove
I have finally updated the first episode this series. Here are the changes...
Episode 1 - The Q In My Side
Dialogue has been reworked and errors corrected
The First Borg encounter is no longer with a Cube but with 2 smaller more managable spheres
The final encounter now includes Romulans, Borg, and Klingons
Instead of just talking to Q at the end you are swipped from your ship and find yourself on a strange planet with your away team. Find Q and question him.
More changes will come once Foundry goes to holodeck
I think these changes support the flow of the story I am trying to tell. Keep in mind that there is reason for this gauntlet you have to encounter, that's why this episode is space heavy. But I believe that talking to Q on the planet adds more flavor to the entire thing. Here are the other episodes being worked...
Episode 2 - To Q And Back Again
Episode 3 - The Q Sphere
Episode 4 - The Q Ultimatum

• The Kershaw County School District has made a good move in establishing a dress code for teachers; that's a subject that has been on the minds of school officials across the country. Teachers must be presentable, and in an age of increasing informality, it's important that students be able to look up to the person running the classroom. Inappropriate appearance detracts from the effectiveness of teachers.

Personally I don't like lying! I made remarks to my brother (now deceased) about Obama lying during the last presidential campaign! His answer was politicians have been lying since the very beginning of politics! This may be true! My mom told me many years ago, (be sure your sins will find you out). I don't like lies or lying and would not vote for a Democrat often as I know now!

When I Fall For You
Summary: Yuuri just realizes his feelings for Wolfram after 6 years of engagement but it doesn't go just what he has planned.
Rated: T
Genre: Hurt/Comfort/Angst
Warning: unbeta'd/OOCness (contains grammatical errors! You've been warned!)
Disclaimer: I don't own KKM.
(Yuuri POV)
It has been three days since that day. The day that changed my whole life. Again, I'm crying in my room, alone, without anyone to accompany me. I've locked the door just in case anyone going to open it. Just remembering what Wolfram had said that day, it breaks my heart. I was about to tell him that I love him but he cut me off and broke the engagement.
Now, I understand the feeling rejected by a person you truly love.
It hurts.
It hurts so much that I can't stop my tears from streaming down my cheeks.
I'm so stupid!
Really stupid!
Why can't I realize it earlier that I love him?
Why do I need to think about that homo-thing?
Why did I need to make a poor excuse over my stupidity?
Love and Homo is not the same!
It's different!
Love is love! Homo is a homo!
It doesn't matter if that someone I love is a guy or girl!
It's really doesn't matter…
Oh, God! It hurts so much that I want to die!
Wolf… I love you…
Just please come back to me…
I really love you…
It's hurt… hurt so much, my heart will simply burst from the pain.
Hugging my already wet pillow, again, I let my tears soaking the feather pillow that Wolfram used. I miss him… I miss him so much. Why can't he just wait for a little for me? Isn't that the reason why he called me a wimp? Because I'm too dense to realize my feelings for him?
Why Wolf? Why?
Why can't you wait for me?
What about your promise?
To follow me to the end of the world? Where is it?
Did you lie to me?
Why did you make me love you and then you left me alone?
If that's the case, I beg you… please, don't appear in front of me. Don't make me slap you on that fateful meeting. Don't give encouragement when I'm upset or feeling weak. Don't make that face that made me want to kiss you. Don't… just don't…
I love you…
So please, don't leave me...
Or I'll rather die than living without you for the rest of my life…
(Wolfram POV)
It has been almost one week since I broke our engagement. It breaks my heart when I said those words to Yuuri. I love the wimp but he doesn't love me. And I don't want to chain him into this accidental engagement. I know he loves women and he won't love me since I'm a guy.
He will never love me.
It hurt me, thinking of that phrase.
It does really hurt.
Clenching my front shirt, I take a deep breath to calm my misery and force the unseen tears from leak out. I can't look like this. I must be strong! I did all of this for Yuuri and I want him to know that I'm happy with anyone that he chose.
It doesn't matter whether it's a woman or a man.
Man… what I'm thinking?
He rejected me because I'm a man. He doesn't want to marry a man.
I mask my face and turn around to see my uncle, Waltorana, standing behind me. He has the serious look on his face and he is watching me keenly. Forcing all the earlier emotions deep inside my heart, I smile at him.
"Uncle Waltorana, what is it?"
My uncle stares into my face and I try my best not to flinch. He then let out a sigh that is unseeing coming from him. I stare at him, confuse. "What is the problem, uncle?"
"I got a letter from Blood Pledge Castle."
I wince and control my voice so it's not sounding weird or anything. "What's the subject?"
"Gwendal wants you back at the castle."
"But why?"
"Since, Lord Weller is busy with the matter of Big Shimaron. He wants you to be His Majesty's personal bodyguard for a while."
"Is it an order?"
"Yes, you'll set off to Blood Pledge Castle, first thing, tomorrow morning."
I nod my head as I watch my uncle walking away.
Why it needs to be me?
Why Gwendal can't just find someone else?
He knows that I love Yuuri. He knows that it hurt me when I'm seeing Yuuri with someone else. Yet, he ignores it. You're so cruel, Gwendal. Heartless. Don't you understand my feelings?
I can't.
I can't show Yuuri that I still love him.
It will prevent him from seeking the happiness that he wants. I understand the wimp better than himself. If he sees me miserable over him, he'll try to protect my feelings and maybe did something that he shouldn't do.
But! I don't want that!
I don't want to be someone that will hinder Yuuri from finding his love.
I'm not that kind of person.
I left him for good and I left him because I love him.
I love him still.
It hurts me… I love him.
I love that wimp.
Stupid, Yuuri! Why can't you just fall in love with me?
Is it hard to love a guy?
To love me?
This is my new story. I know, I know.. I shouldn't start with a new story. But, this is a very short series. I promise I'll update it faster. It's only 4 short chapters.
