I would never treat a real life child this way but since it's a game it's different.
Does anyone else out there find it hilarious that Duck is so stupid? I want to like the kid but I'm just having such a hard time. The writers can't get rid of him Duck is single handed the comic relief in the video game.
I have to wonder who the creators of the game based his character on in real life. They seem to just have it out for the poor kid.
At the beginning his own father (Kenny) freely admits that his off spring is such a block head not even the end of world phases him. "He makes up for it in enthusiasm" that's like saying in the bathroom Duck sometimes points up at his face instead of down at the urinal cake...!
After that Duck causes his first kill and is not even noticeably sad.... He decides to start up the tractor he was playing on and run over poor Shawn I swear he was smiling at one point.
The apple does not fall far from the tree since Kenny can't even tell Herschel that he's sorry his son Duck ran over Shawn with the tractor.
I can't believe on the Farm that the game writers did not have Duck peeing on the electric fence. What a missd opportunity. All I can say is thank goodness Duck was not with Mark and Lee during the tractor scene with the arrows. Duck might have decided to run over Lee and Mark then drive the tractor in to a ditch.
Moving along Duck proves he has ADHD at the dinner table when despite Lee's best effort to say hey your eating a person Duck continues to eat Mark's leg. What's worse is Duck noticably wants to keep eating Mark. Everyone is like OMG and Duck is there with fork is mouth about to scream "Pass over those 2 meatballs please"
I don't know. I just can't get on the side of poor old Duck.
What do yur guys think.. Is Duck gonna cause another death in Episode 3? Perhaps they will head back to the drug store and Duck can eat a tube of Preparation H? Duck could root through Carly's purse and find her secret toy she really needs those batteries for. The possibilities are hilarious and endless.
You never know Duck could figure out that since a zombie bites kills a human Duck could make the connection that if he eats or bites a zombie it will bring the zombie back to life.
Anyway what do you guys think Duck will do or cause in episode 3??

New leadership, a reorganized administrative structure and new initiatives have augmented research and innovation and entrepreneurship efforts at Stevens. Initial activities in Year 1 show promise for significant impact in the future.
Owners: Provost George Korfiatis, Faculty Senate, Vice President Randy Greene
A new organizational structure was created to strengthen Stevens' research impact, headed by Vice Provost for Research Mo Dehghani. The preliminary FY15 budget includes an allocation of research support to academic units and principal investigators based on their success in securing research funding in prior years. Specific criteria and guidelines for administering this allocation are being developed.
Year 2: Develop and staff new organizational structure focused on research, with emphasis on scaled growth of research enterprise and achievement of strategic goals. Continue to develop infrastructure and systems to support research.
Owners: Provost George Korfiatis and Vice President Robert Maffia
A Year 2 goal, planning has begun to conceptualize the mission and facilities requirements of this research laboratory.
Year 2: Continue to develop the IDL concept.
Owner: Provost George Korfiatis
This is a Year 2 goal. Since the strategic plan was adopted, research expenditures increased from $25.6 million in FY12 to $30.9 million in FY13. The Center for Complex Systems was established, as was the Center for Healthcare Innovation. In addition, in early Fall 2013, the Systems Engineering Research Center contract renewal, totaling $60 million over five years, was completed.
Year 2: Continue to develop infrastructure and strategies to support principal investigators in identifying and winning competitive awards.
This is a Year 2 priority. Work toward this goal has not started yet.
The Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship has been reorganized under a Vice Provost Christos Christodoulatos. Technology commercialization and IP management directors have been named, and an advisory board has been created. A process has been developed to identify opportunities for SBIRs, STTRs and industry contracts.
Year 2: Continue to develop infrastructure and processes to promote entrepreneurial activities.
A Year 1 priority, this goal has been advanced through a series of activities managed by the Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, including: the Innovation and Design Expo; the Scholl Lecture Series by Visiting Entrepreneurs; the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Summer Scholars program; an I&E mentorship program; an updated Ph.D. curriculum; and others.

I searched for a plush mattress. I wanted to be able to sink into my bed. The bed was delivered quickly and in great shape but not at all what I was wanting. Unfortunately the delivery people are not going to hang around while you test out your new bed for softness. This is a quality mattress but not what I would consider soft or plush. It is firm. I am disappointed after spending so much money on it. If you are looking for a firm mattress this one is for you. If you are looking for soft/plush look elsewhere. I am buying a padded mattress cover to try to make it softer.
We are really impressed with the mattress and its comfort.

Looking for Home Remote Controls?
Start shoppingVideo: Harmony One, 900, and 1100 Universal Remotes
Just one of Harmony's smart universal remotes can replace all the remotes on your coffee table. They provide ultra-simple control over your audio/video system, making it easier to use. Learn about the One, 900, and 1100 remotes in this short video.
Tara: Hi, I'm Tara, and this is Ringo, and we're here in the Crutchfield video studio to talk about Harmony remote controls. Today we'll be talking about the One, the 900, and the 1100.
Ringo: And the great thing about all of these remotes is you can take all of your other remotes , stash them away, put them in the closet and just one of these remotes can control all of your gear.
Tara: All Harmony remote controls will give you one-button operation, and that means that when you hit the activities button, like watch Blu-ray, it'll turn on your TV, your home theater receiver, and your Blu-ray player and make sure that everything is on the right input.
Ringo: One of my favorite buttons on these remotes is the "help" button. Let's say for example you turn on all of your equipment and the cable box doesn't come on; if you press the "help" button it will actually step you through the procedure to fix the problem.
Tara: Set up is super easy. You program the remote by connecting it to your computer and using the intuitive on-line wizard.
Ringo: So, I just happen to have one of these Harmony One remotes in my house and the first thing that I noticed when I picked it up is that it actually is very comfortable to use. A couple neat things about it is it has a color touch screen and it actually wakes up when you pick it up. It illuminates and it has a handy-dandy rechargeable cradle.
Tara: The Harmony 900 adds RF capability, so you can hide all your gear away in a cabinet or in another room and still control it using this one remote. It features a sharper touch screen and four color buttons that work great for your DVR, Blu-ray player, or gaming console.
Ringo: And this is the Harmony 1100 remote which features a simple streamlined layout, a larger 3-1/2" touch screen, and it actually features only the buttons that you need to use so you don't have to worry about all those other ones.
Tara: So if you'd like to learn more visit crutchfield.com/HarmonyRemotes or just give us a call.

No, this picture is blasphemy with the toppings all on top. I'd like to note that I did not special order my pizza this way. This was the picture in the Free Press Top 25 Pizzas in Detroit at http://www.freep.com/pizzaphotos.
What about the "cooks off" comment? Does it change chemically? If so, into what?
PizzaHog I was wondering if you could update us with the latest version of your recipe.I have tried several on this site and they have all ended up terrible. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but they look nothing like in the pictures posted. Mine all seem to come out as thin crust and the toppings fry but the crust never bakes much.
I would like to try the 'batter' recipe posted by Pizza Hog, but I have a 10x15 pan, not the 10x14 pan he uses.. Can anyone recommend the ingredient adjustments necessary to accommodate it? Thanks in advance!

beg to differ
i think u give fans and band less credit. every time i see a u2 show i want more. springsteen fans and band last for 3 hours. we could handle a longer show with opportunity to hear more song. give us and the band a chance... for america and play longer :)

I'll Go Crazy
Willie...I'll Go Crazy is a nice song, but the "Popmart" version you guys are doing is still uneven at best. I think it would be best to just scrap Crazy, and just use a Pop track like Discotheque or Mofo. The original crazy is cut from the same cloth as "Walk On." Could you imagine how "Walk On" would have been hurt by a techno type beat? I'm sure the set will be even more different when the USA shows take place, but seeing the same exact show with only a few differences may be a minor let down. My best idea for you guys: A greatest hits type show in the stadiums, and a stripped down, absolutely no frills arena show filled with lesser known songs for the hardcore fan. Songs like Zooropa, Mercy, Please, Gone, Acrobat, So Cruel, Seconds, Drowning Man, Wire, Breathe, Daddy's Gonna Pay, etc... Each city could have two shows...the big budget Claw thing, and the almost no budget thing with tons of fan club seats.

Opening of screen song
Not trying to get into your seat, but the opening of the screen imo works perfect with heavier songs such as The Fly, God Part II, Even better than the real thing, Gone or even Exit. Or perhaps even Fez - Being Born.

Hows it going with the production of Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the world?
Perhaps you've not had enough time yet to work on it like you mentioned before....
But you ideas and your diaries about production are amazing, and a really good read...
I see that youre trying to change things up a bit, but its a real challenge with the massive production that is 360....
I appreciate having this insight..

The current recession has reduced state revenues, and has forced the Legislature to make deep cuts in agency budgets. Coping with these cuts includes closing the Department of Consumer and Business Services on 10 Fridays that fall throughout the current two-year budget period.
The department is closed on Friday, August 17, for a mandatory unpaid furlough day. However, like state police and others who provide essential public safety services, Oregon OSHA enforcement officers will be in the field to inspect workplaces in a wide range of industries. The enforcement staff will take their unpaid furloughs on alternative days.
Employees who want to file a complaint with Oregon OSHA on a closure day can still do so online at http://www.orosha.org/subjects/complaints.html; to report an imminent danger threat, they should call 800-922-2689.
We regret any inconvenience this closure may cause, and we look forward to reopening Monday morning, August 20.
For a full list of closure days, click here.

It sounds like there's plenty of activity at
, the Brecksville company that produces an increasingly popular worn activity monitor called the MOVband.
catches up
with the firm and its founder, serial entrepreneur Blake Squires, who released the MOVband about 18 months ago.
The idea behind the device is simple: It can be connected to a computer, and the data is collected on a dashboard where a user views his or her history of activity. "We're trying to inspire that extra walk at the lunch hour," Mr. Squires tells Forbes.com.
Northwestern Mutual, Hyland Software and DDR Inc., among others, "have embraced the company's corporate product" since it launched in September. That program also is used in about 150 schools nationwide, including a Houston school system with 4,800 students using the MOVbands.
The price for the program is $29.99 per employee or student, and an additional $4.99 per device for the management of a particular group. At those rates, Movable "feels it can disrupt more expensive offerings that seek to provide wellness programs for enterprises, which can charge about $100 per employee," Forbes.com says.
Mr. Squires says companies that offer the program to employees can offer rewards for those that hit certain milestones. Envisioned, but not yet operational, "is the possibility of having health insurance premiums lowered through use of the Movable program," according to the story.
Forbes.com says that to date, Mr. Squires and other angels "have funded the company to the tune of about $2 million. A series A is planned for later this year and profitability is expected sometime in 2014."
The digital revolution progresses
OverDrive Inc.
in Garfield Heights is gaining some big-name authors with the addition of the
Hachette Book Group
e-book catalog to its platform.
The digital media company said Hachette will make its entire digital catalog of more than 5,000 eBooks available to libraries and schools via OverDrive starting next Wednesday, May 8. That's a big deal because it will give e-book readers at OverDrive-powered libraries and schools in the United States and Canada access to authors including Kate Atkinson, David Baldacci, Sandra Brown, James Patterson and David Sedaris.
OverDrive supplies digital services for more than 22,000 libraries and schools worldwide, with support for all major e-reading devices, including iPad, Nook and Kindle.
The addition of the entire Hachette Book Group e-book catalog to OverDrive — which already carries its audiobooks on the same lending platform — enhances what the company says is the world's largest catalog for libraries and schools, comprising more than 1 million e-book, audiobook, music and video titles.
Hachette says it will follow a "one-copy/one-user" lending model, and there will be no checkout or term limit for the titles on the OverDrive platform.
Call it even
The recession officially ended in June 2009, but it doesn't feel that way to a large percentage of small business owners in Ohio and nationwide, according to the 2013
U.S. Bank Small Business Annual Survey
The survey of 3,210 small business owners, including 203 in Ohio, found most are "hesitant to make a significant investment because of uncertainty toward the economy, or the potential impact of tax and health care policies," says Tom Zirbs, regional manager for Northeast and Central Ohio at U.S. Bank.
Asked to describe the state of the economy, 45% of Ohio small business owners said it's in recovery, but 45% said it's still in recession. The rest said they were "unsure."
Those numbers match almost exactly the U.S. data, where 45% say the country is recovering and 43% think it's in recession.
According to the survey, small business owners in Ohio and across the country remain "hesitant to make significant investments in their business." Both regionally and nationally, about two-thirds of owners responded that they were unlikely to make a capital expenditure in the next 12 months, according to the survey.
However, small business owners in Ohio said they are more likely to add to staff, and less likely to make cuts, than the national average.
The survey found 20% of Ohio small business owners expect to increase their work force in the next year, while just 4% expect to make cuts. Nationwide, those numbers were 16% and 5%, respectively.
And small business owners are making progress in embracing new technology. U.S. Bank said more than seven in 10 small business owners in Ohio report they have "integrated mobile technology into their business strategy, whether through mobile banking, social networking, web design, payments or other uses."

Hi. I am still nursing my 18 month old daughter, Lily, and I just wanted to hear from others out there that have "been there, done that". Lily is only eating about 3 times a day (always before she sleeps - before nap, before bed, and in the middle of the night). I nursed my oldest daughter, Hannah, until she was 16 months old. I weaned her much sooner than Lily, because I wasn't "enlightened" on AP philosophies back then (5 years ago). She weaned so easily. I am still enjoying nursing Lily, but I'm starting to feel like I'm going to be ready to end it in the near future...hopefully by the time she's 2 or 2 1/2 years old. I know a lot of people who nurse their children until they are 3, 4 or even 5, which I think is great...but, that's just not for me. Plus, there are some personal reasons why I would like to stop soon. Anyways, Lily is now at a stage where she asks for "ilk"...she demands it, actually. When I'm ready, I think I am going to have my husband put Lily to bed and handle her in the middle of the night, which could help with weaning...but, will it be gentle? She does great at night for him...no crying...but, we've never attempted the middle of the night. She is very attached to her mama! :-) Anyways, I have no idea how I would wean her from eating right before her nap, because my husband, obviously, isn't home. I am interested in hearing everyone else's weaning stories. What worked? What didn't work? I appreciate any advice you all have.

No announcement yet.
Weaning...what are your experiences?
Page Title Module
when i thought i was going to be forced to wean ds1 due to medical issues, i was able to give up the naptime nursing by driving around in the car until he fell asleep. after 3 days of this, he no longer associated nursing w/naps. he was about 23 mos. then. the other times, we just stayed VERY busy, out of the house a lot b/c he would only nurse at home. i think he was just bored and had a strong association w/me sitting on the couch and nursing, so everytime i sat, he wanted to nurse.
we were down to nursing before bed and waking in the a.m. before i determined the medical issue no longer existed, but by then, he was fine w/those 2 nursings and we let him decide when he was officially done for good after that.
By the time she's 2 or 2 1/2, she'll be much easier to wean, since she will understand a lot more (verbally). We partially weaned (went down to just bedtime and morning wake my daughter when she a little past 2 1/2 yrs old. We did it first by just not offering, then by limiting the nursing during the day to like 5 seconds each time until we eventually just went down to only bedtime and morning nursing for a few minutes. I found that going slowly was easier on both of us. I also found the links on the "how to wean" in this page very very helpful.
Thanks Dedra! i remember you sharing some of these tips before
We're in no rush, but i like learning about different strategies that we can gently try.
Well, I weaned my older son shortly before his 4th birthday, so I don't know if my experience will be helpful...
About six months before his birthday, I talked to him about his birthday coming up, and how he was going to be a big boy. We talked about nursing, and agreed that he would stop nursing by his birthday. I put up a calendar, and we would check off the days. This way, he had an idea that we were getting closer to the time that he would stop nursing. Throughout this time, I encouraged him to nurse in fewer circumstances, and gave him water and hugs instead. We talked about it a lot, and he felt like he had a say in the matter. He stopped nursing more than a month before his birthday. He's almost six now, and asks to nurse occasionally since his baby brother was born, but he is fine with cuddles instead.
Hope that helps in some way.
Thanks for the suggestions! I do think that Lily will be easier to wean when she has more understanding. Something that I've been trying, which she doesn't mind, is I have just been offering her one breast instead of two. :-) So, she's only getting half of what she normally eats. She doesn't get upset by this at all...and, in fact, she seems pretty content. Could this eventually help towards the weaning process?
I'm also working towards weaning my 2 year old. She also asks and even begs... she asks for "some" and if I try and distracter her she'll say "PLEASE" and beg. She doesn't ask when we are out, but will put off napping (sometimes skipping entirely) if she doesn't get to breastfeed. We co-sleep and she dreamfeeds... she will try and get to me anytime I'm sitting down... even (or especially) when I'm in the bathroom and can't easily elude her.
I have no issue with extended breastfeeding, but we are trying to conceive (unsuccessfully) and the breastfeeding is a contributing factor. I'm 38 so waiting until she naturally weans isn't a great option for us.

Gary Anderson, a leader in industry, has stood on the shoulders of giants—that is, his parents, whom he speaks of with fondness and admiration. Anderson grew up in Ishpeming on Michigan's iron range. His grandfather was killed in a mining accident, so his father had to quit school at age 15 and go to work in the mines to support the family. When his parents started their own family, they worked their hearts out for their children. His mother wanted to make sure he had a good education; his father wanted him to have a better life than he had.

This is looking really good! I don't know what your plan is for the stern light/anchor light assembly. Not readily evident in most pictures and plans, but the stern navigation running light is inside the box and just aft and under the anchor light. The anchor light protrudes from the top of the box. In 1/48, this would look really cool as an operational running light for night runs! Keep up the nice work!

The Whitmore Track project has been stopped in its tracks.
Fast-tracked by the Mammoth Lakes Town Council for an anticipated construction and completion by the end of the dry season, the project has no chance of that, due to a request by the Department of Fish and Game for a new plant survey.
The DFG, which regulates habitat issues in addition to critters, said it wants the survey to determine if the construction of the track would harm three "rare species" of blooms.
"We're not happy about it," said Elaine Smith of the High Sierra Striders, "but we're going to accommodate the DFG.
"We must do what we must do."
The council sped up the project to take advantage of Mammoth's burgeoning reputation as a distance runner's paradise. Construction was to have begun as soon as the snow season ended this year.
The town submitted an exhaustive survey on what effects the track might have on the local sage grouse population, as well as effects on the habitat.
However, the DFG was not satisfied with the habitat report and requested a new survey.
Complicating the survey is that biologists hired by the town government will have to wait until their blooming periods in May, June, July or August to coincide with peak flowering season of the target plant species.
The three plants are the Inyo Phacelia, alkali ivesia, and smooth Phacelia.
The Inyo Phacelia is endemic to California, where it is known only in the Eastern Sierra and Inyo and Mono countries.
It grows in meadows on alkaline soils. It is an annual herb growing up to about 10 centimeters high with a basal array of lobed rounded or oval leaves on short petioles.
It is glandular and coated in stiff hairs. Unlike many phacelias, which have blooms in shades of purple and blue, this species has light yellow flowers.
It's all a bit on the geeky side, but try telling that to the DFG.
Or to the High Sierra Striders, whose track, suddenly, remains stuck in the dreamsphere.

Maybe Linux Mint KDE is good (Ubuntu versions).
Maybe I'll have a look at it once I fiddle with my PC hardware and need to install a 64bit OS on a 40GB hard drive I have lying around. I very lately learned that you can switch to a classic start menu by right-clicking on the "K" start button. I consider the default tabbed start menu to be unusable and useless, thank you very much. Next I'll have to learn where to disable animations. Then, I don't know if I'll gain anything versus running Mate (which I use, with the Nemo file manager)
Mate is just too convenient for me, and not too heavy - it's gnome 2, and gnome 2 used to be heavy then computers caught up. My top panel is autohide, with stuff all moved around, and with CPU/RAM/Swap loads displayed right in the middle, CPU temp in top left, even real world weather. It doesn't look that good but those are very valuable features.
