I'm super happy to share the latest goody I received in the mail: my pink Tama ID L-English! It's everything I hoped it would be, and so much more.
I'd been dying to get a color Tama for the longest time, but I've never enjoyed playing with Tamas that weren't in English... so I held out for a pink English ID L. The wait was totally worth it.
I decked out my ID-L (which I've named Sugar) with a pink macaron charm I picked up at a craft fair I went to a little over a week ago.

Swing coach Sean Foley steps into Tiger's lair
Haney fired off more tweets than Vijay Singh hits balls on the practice range, using Woods' results as affirmation.
"I think it was more of a reaction to what I had said that I never fully understood what they were working on," Foley said. "He's got every right to comment back. But to the extreme and the amount ... I was like, 'Do you have anything else to do?'
"Tiger and Hank won a lot of majors, a lot of tournaments, and you can't take that away from the guy. And he helped Tiger," Foley said. "He's allowed to say what he wants. If I offended him, I didn't mean to. But Tiger helped build Hank's career, not the other way around."
All this must be somewhat amusing to Butch Harmon, who is not immune to criticism. Harmon recalls hearing the skeptics after Woods won the Masters by a record 12 shots and decided to overhaul his swing.
"Everyone said we were crazy, that I was going to ruin him," Harmon said Tuesday.
It worked out OK.
Even now, as it was when Woods was with Haney, there are a number of experts who think Woods ought to just go back to Harmon and repeat what he was doing in 2000 when won 10 times around the world, including three straight majors. Harmon says it's not that simple. The equipment is different, Woods' physique has changed and "he's had three surgeries since I had him."
Harmon came from a no-nonsense family of golf teachers - father Claude, a former Masters champion, along with brothers Billy, Craig and Dick, who died five years ago. He also had the experience of taking Greg Norman to No. 1 before working with Woods.
His only advice is to Foley as a coach, not what Foley is coaching.
Harmon says Foley has it the toughest because he took the job when Woods was at his worst - not only with his golf game, but trying to patch together a personal life torn apart.
"I had it the easiest," Harmon said. "I had him when he was a teenager. He was young. He did everything I asked him to do. He wasn't married. He didn't have those outside problems. Sean is young (36). He's got a big ego. He's been thrown into a difficult situation. He probably got Tiger at the worst time. When Tiger left me and went to Hank, he was still a good player."
Harmon said he has talked to Foley about not letting the media beat him up, to accept praise and criticism in equal measure, and to expect the latter far more often.
"He's never been in the hot seat," Harmon said. "And this is a hot seat."

Dale Talde's Slippery Lemongrass Pork Noodles Recipe
Dec 11, 2013 4:00 pm
Renowned Brooklyn chef lends us a noodle recipe
We borrowed this awesome recipe for lemongrass pork noodles from superstar chef Dale Talde. You may know him from TV and...everything. We're crazy about his Brooklyn restaurants, Talde and Pork Slope, and sampled this dish at the annual City Harvest's Bid Against Hunger fundraiser (where Dominique Ansel auctioned off a dozen cronuts for a cool $14,000). But we digress. If you're into Talde's spectacular Asian cuisine and have been hankering for a hot bowl of noodles, grab a few lemongrass stalks and meet us in the kitchen.
Servings: 6 to 8
2 pounds pork shoulder, ground
2 tablespoons shallots, brunoise
2 tablespoons ginger, minced
1/4 cup scallion greens, sliced
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 egg white
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon potato starch
1/4 cup sesame oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon fish sauce
3 cloves garlic, chopped and fried
3 stalks lemongrass, very finely chopped
1 pound rice noodles
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Thai chilies, sliced into 2
- Combine pork shoulder, shallots, ginger, scallions, cilantro, egg whites, oyster sauce, white pepper, red chili flakes, sugar, baking soda, potato starch, sesame oil, salt, fish sauce, garlic and lemongrass and mix well.
- Cook pork mixture in a hot wok until cooked through.
- To assemble, put blanched noodles on the bottom of a shallow bowl. Cover noodles with cooked lemongrass pork and adjust with more nuoc mam as needed.
- Garnish with crushed peanuts, Thai basil and cilantro sprigs.

Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity
I was a lowballer on all 3 of my boats. Unfortunately, as the "what's a boat worth" thread illustrates, any asset is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. You have 3 choices: sell it to the lowballer for cash, donate it for a tax break (which will only be a percentage of the "resale value" of the boat and may approach what the lowballer was offering, depending on just how low he/she was offering), or hold onto it.
Keeping that last option in mind for a moment, could you have it moved to Lake Meade, Lake Havasu, or the LA/San Diego area? I work with guys in the LA area who have vacation homes in Havasu. It's about a 4 hour drive from Las Vegas to Newport Beach.

My husbands car had a problem starting. He works 40 minutes from home and took it to a mechanic who said there was a hole in the radiator and quoted a ridiculous amount. I found Fairway Auto on this site and they did the job for half that amount. Joe was very patient as I asked him to price out everything in detail. They were wonderful and very straightforward. I didn't feel like they were trying to pad all kinds of extra charges into the bill. He got the car back yesterday and, so far, so good. Hoping we found a mechanic we can count on for all future repairs without worrying about the "gotcha" game!

4 Years of Remission
My oh my how time has flown by the last couple of months. Another year cancer free is in the books. Last week marked 4 years of remission, and I couldn't be any more thankful. The painful memories of my time as a cancer patient…sitting in the chemo chair, radiation sunburn, hair falling out, nails falling off, needles, needles, and more needles (in case you didn't know, I HATE needles)…continue to diminish. They'll never be gone from my mind entirely, but as the years go by, they've moved to a "hey remember that one time I was bald" type of thought from the overwhelming, self-pitying thoughts of "why me, my life sucks" that once monopolized my mind.
Because of all the reconstructive surgeries I've had over the last 2 years, I haven't been able to have a mammogram or MRI in a really long time…much longer then I'd prefer to have gone without one. Fortunately, all the stars have finally aligned once again and I'll be going in tomorrow morning for an MRI. It's definitely weighed on my mind over the course of the last 2 ½ years that aside from check-ins with my oncologist and my own self-exams I haven't' had any sort of diagnostic testing done, so I'm looking forward to receiving a clean bill of health (fingers crossed!!) to hold me over for another year.
The road to baby continues to be a frustrating, up and down effort. I was officially cleared by my OB/GYN doctor the beginning of December to start trying to pregnant again. After talking through our options with the fertility doctor, Andrew and I decided to give the "au natural" approach another try for a few months. Probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense to most people given the amount of money we just spent freezing embryos, but trust me, there was a whole lot of thought going into the decision…
With only 2 embryos frozen and knowing that in an ideal world we'd like to have more than one child, there's pretty much no room left for error. Having had a miscarriage in December of '13, then the triploid/molar pregnancy issues in March '14, we were a little hesitant at jumping right to an embryo transfer not really knowing how my body would do or if I had any undiscovered issues could potentially result in miscarrying one of our healthy frozen embryos. By trying au natural again, we'd be preserving the two embryos we have right now, while we test to see what my body will do on its own…and maybe, god-willing, end up with a baby the normal way.
Surprisingly, I found out I was pregnant at the very end of last year. Unfortunately, I had another miscarriage a few weeks later. It's encouraging that I was able to get pregnant again so easily, but SO frustrating to go through the excitement of thinking you're going to have a baby, only for it not to work out AGAIN.
We spent some additional time with our fertility doctor talking about next steps knowing I've now had 3 unsuccessful pregnancies over the course of 12 months. He's got me on a couple of different medicines now (Metformin and Letrozole) to hopefully increase our chances of a successful pregnancy as Andrew and I are still going to give it another month or two before we say screw it and move to embryo transfer.
Frustrating as ever! We're trying to keep focusing on the positive…that I'm even able to get pregnant…and not stress out about the fact that we're once again back at square one. Admittedly though, I'm not very good at that last part.
Hoping we have positive news to share in the months to come!!

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Index IQ added to its lineup of hedge fund replication ETFs on Oct. 4 with the launch of IQ Hedge Market Neutral Tracker ETF (QMN).
The new ETF seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the firm's own IQ Hedge Market Neutral Index.
QMN does not invest in hedge funds. Instead, it attempts to mimic the performance characteristics of market neutral hedge funds using a fund-of-funds approach with other ETFs.
Market neutral hedge funds typically invest in both long and short positions in multiple asset classes while minimizing exposure to systematic risk.These strategies seek to have zero "beta" exposure to one or more systematic risk factors, which could include the overall stock market, economic sectors or industries, market cap, region, or country. In theory, market neutral strategies that effectively neutralize market exposure are not impacted by directional moves in the market.
Top fund holdings include: Vanguard Short-Term Bond ETF (BSV) at 26%; iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Treasury Bond (SHY), 25.1%; Research In Motion (RIMM) (EFA) 8.2%, Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND), 8.2%; iShares Barclays Short Term Treasury (SHV), 7.8%; SPDR Barclays Convertible Securities ETF (CWB), 7.5%; and iShares Barclays Aggregate Bond (AGG), 7.4%. The net expense ratio will vary over time based on the fees of the ETFs in QMN's portfolio. The current expense ratio of 0.99% has 0.24% designated as acquired fund expenses. Additional information can be found on the
Analysis/Opinion: The underlying index has one-year and three-year performance figures of 5.25% and 4.03%, respectively and annually as of Sept. 30. Assuming perfect tracking, the fund's theoretical returns would have been 4.5% and 3.3%, respectively. These are less than the iShares Barclays Aggregate Bond returns of 5.0% and 5.7% for those periods. No risk data for the underlying index could be found. If you choose to compare these returns to stocks, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) returns for the same periods were 30.1% and 13.1%. Rather than taking a long/short approach to market neutrality, the underlying index attempts to mimic market neutral characteristics by investing primarily in bond ETFs at this time. The only inverse equity exposure for the index consists of a 1.0% allocation to ProShares UltraShort Russell 2000 (TWM). Far from being market neutral, the current asset class exposures are bonds, 77.0% (84.2% if convertibles are included); equities, 11%; hybrids, 7.2%; and currencies 3.0%. There are about 35 products listed in the Alternative Strategy section of the

IT-BPO revenue reached $11B in 2011
Sector hit target, set to become $25-B industry by '16, says exec
popular .
The Philippines generated $11 billion in revenue from the fast-growing information technology and business process outsourcing (IT-BPO) industry last year—24 percent higher than a year ago.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) also announced that the industry employed 638,000 by the end of 2011—22 percent more than that of the previous year.
"We hit the targets projected in our Road Map 2016," said new BPAP president Benedict Hernandez. "This is a good start to our five-year plan to grow at an average of 20 percent a year—above the projected global annual growth rates of 10-15 percent."
At a compounded annual growth rate of 20 percent, the Philippine IT-BPO sector is set to become a $25-billion industry by 2016, contributing about 9 percent to the Philippine economy and capturing 10 percent of global demand, Hernandez added.
The biggest component came from voice outsourcing, which accounted for 65 percent of total business. The Contact Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP), also headed by Hernandez, reported that the sector ended 2011 with 416,000 employees providing $7.4 billion in services to the world. Already the largest contact center hub in the world, the Philippine sector grew by 21 percent in 2011.
Also, the Healthcare Information Management Outsourcing Association of the Philippines reported that as much as $277 million worth of HIMO services were provided to global end-users from the Philippines. The group reported that this segment employed 24,700 workers.
Another segment, Philippine Software Industry Association, reported a 37-percent growth in revenue from IT outsourcing, while employment expanded by 11 percent in 2011.
Another segment, the Game Developers Association of the Philippines, announced that the game development segment grew by 13 percent in 2011, with revenue reaching $8 million while employed workers topped 1,400.
Companies providing engineering services also saw a 5-percent increase in revenue and employment ending 2011, with more than 9,000 employees providing $172 million worth of services.
This was the second consecutive year of positive growth for the segment after it saw a contraction in 2009, reflecting a recovery in global markets for construction and engineering design.
Also, the non-voice business process and knowledge process services grew by 24 percent in 2011 to over $2 billion in revenue. The segment employed a total of 130,000 by the end of the year.

The Yankees fully understand the ball is in their court. I would love to see them come back in a few months and drop their offer to 3yrs/$30 million. He would not even get that much from another club.

"Today was the byproduct of us thinking we can come back from anything." - Joey Votto after blowing a 10-1 lead and holding on for the 12-11 win on 8/25/2010.
.710 OPS = asking for 23/24M a season? Man, every player in baseball is severely underpaid by these standards.
He's coming off of a 10 year $189 Million deal and will be 37 next season. Seems he has been paid quite a bit of respect and getting another $45 Million in his twilight after a seaon where his OPS dropped to .710 and is likely reduced to the role of bench player before the third year of that deal is over seems pretty darned respectful IMO. Burnett's deal was signed at age 31 after a season where he'd made 34 starts and topped the league in K's and K/9 and will expire in 2013 when Burnett will be 3 months shy of 37 years old which is about the same age that Jeter would be when he plays his first game under his new deal. Its simply not comparable. The fact that Burnett fell apart has no relationship to this decision.

Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
I think some are underestimating the amount of brand equity Jeter has within baseball. I think there are some teams out there who'd pay Jeter $15 million or more per year over 3 years.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
Imagine what the Yankees would do to the rest of baseball if they gave Jeter $23-25 million a year. We could see Paul Janish someday get $10 million in arbitration, and that's not a knock on Paul.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
The whole thing makes me smile.
The Skankees will eventually overpay big time, and Jeter will still act all offended.
If he had been the real team player he's glorified to be, he would have moved to second or third base when they got Arod, a far superior shortstop.
Now this hero of all Yankeedom will personify the most important Yankee tradition of all..... greed.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
~ Mark Twain
I hope Jeter gets it. Why, because the Yankees set the whole thing up when they gave A-Roid that ridiculous contract that lasts until the end of time. Say what you will, but if Jeter retires today, which he could do and still get into the HOF, the Yankees will not be as good as they were last year -- especially paying big bucks for Posada, Burnett and the aformentioned 3b.

Designing effective professional development experiences for technology-enhanced inquiry instruction is the goal of the Technology Enhanced Learning in Science (TELS) NSF funded Center for Learning and Teaching. In order to provide this type of support to a large number of teachers, we devised a targeted professional development approach. Participating teachers implemented short inquiry modules that featured interactive scientific visualizations. We collaborated with 16 schools in eight districts and five states. This paper reports the design, implementation, and refinement of the targeted approach. Findings from interview data show that teachers faced challenges that are often associated with enacting technology innovations in K-12 classrooms. The targeted professional development approach addressed the challenges and allowed teachers to successfully implement the modules in their classrooms. The interview data clarify teachers' perspectives on how using technology impacted their teaching practices and their ideas about student learning. This work contributes to a growing body of literature that identifies and addresses barriers to integrating technology into K-12 classrooms.

Anyways I dislike facing someone who sets up all the way to +6, when at +2 or +3 he/she can destroy my team. It just puts them at greater risk of getting haxxed due to a crit or some secondary effect (like Ice beam freezing or getting para'd, etc)
Or when the person I face uses Toxic Spikes when all my members don't get touched by it. >_>

It is. The main game is merely a formality. It's not particularly entertaining after puberty and it's such a chore because there isn't an ounce of challenge. You complete it so that you can access the Daycare and EV training hotspots.
Or just PokeGen everything as soon as you get far enough into the game that you're allowed to play online.

City hold on and the referee brings the game to an end. A goal from Aguero and a double from Dzeko saw City past the home side, surely City can't slip up now especially after such an unconvincing performance today.
Everton are sure they should have won a throw in as they look to finish strongly but the referee awards it to City who duly continue to run the clock down.
City are really looking to wind down the clock now and the corner is kept in the corner.
Silva breaks free from the Everton defence on the edge of the box but his snap shot is well blocked and City come away with a corner.
Six minutes of added time still left to play, City can thank Dzeko for the extended time they'll have to play
Fernandinho does well to break up an Everton attack and continues with the ball before trying to put Dzeko through but Howard comes out of goal and intercepts the ball.
Deulofeu dances through the City defence with a burst of acceleration but his shot is well saved by Hart.
The whole Dzeko injury saga looks to have given the fans a lease of life and a chorus of boos greets Dzeko whenever he touches the ball.
McGeady comes on and takes the place of Osman.
Dzeko finally gets his booking for his earlier challenge but he looks like he will be continuing.
Bit of a stand off between Lee Probert and Dzeko with the referee refusing to allow the physio on.
There is a stoppage in play with Dzeko down on the ground, but he looks like he's going to be booked for his challenge on Barkley.
Dzeko is starting to look isolated up front but he's doing well to make the most of any ball that is played in to him.
Everton's second goal has instilled a bit of urgency back in City who are slowly looking to get some momentum back in the game.
Silva is introduced into the action as City look to see out the game and he takes the place of Nasri.
Demichelis takes on a shot after Milner's corner eventually drops to the defender but Stones is able to block the ball on the six-yard line.
Zabaleta goes through on goal after a brilliant one-two with Milner but Howard saves with his feet.
Everton's midfield are looking to get the home side back on level terms as Osman attempts to drive the team forward.
Demichelis is booked for protesting the Everton goal, which was a close one, but looked as though it was Osman offside not the goalscorer Lukaku.
Hopefully the goal will spark some life into both sides who have been cruising through the second half with both sides failing to pose a threat.
GOAL!!! Lukaku! Everton get a goal back after Baines plays in a brilliant cross for Lukaku who nods the ball low past Hart.
City look content with what they have and are continuing to invite Everton on to them, it could be a case of tactics being swapped as City will be happy to look to counter Everton on the break as the game progresses.
Barkley looks like he could have a say on the match and an attempted through ball from the midfielder to Lukaku is overhit and goes out for a goal kick.
City are starting to allow Everton to keep the ball and are less willing to press the attackers.
Barkley continues to be Everton's stand out player and wins a corner for the home side.
The City defence still looks shaky when Everton look to put them under pressure. The Toffees could still give City a few scares in this game.
Toure takes Osman down the outside and looks to pick out Dzeko in the box but he just overhits his pass.
GOAL!!! Dzeko! The big forward grabs his second of the match after Nasri feeds in a near post cross and Dzeko has the easiest of tasks to tap the ball past Howard from close range.
Barkley breaks the Man City defence and threads the pass to Naismith who looks to bend the shot past Hart, but the City keeper gets a finger tip to push it round for a corner.
Man City get us underway.
Kevin says: "I'm really disappointed with both the Everton players and fans. The players just aren't trying at all and are quite happy to just pass it around in midfield and wait for Man City to nick the ball and attack, the fans aren't doing anything either, the stadium might as well be empty. Would Everton really throw the game just to spite Liverpool? I'm sorry but it seems they would!"
Dave in Edinburgh says: "I think there is a problem with my tv as all I can hear is the away support?! Jokes aside the Everton crowd need to let themselves be heard to give the team a boost, they could be the difference!!"
And that is half-time, you can't accuse Everton for not having after taking the lead through Barkley, but City have come straight back into this game with goals from Aguero and Dzeko giving them the lead at the interval.
Stones finds himself on the right wing and looks to play a cross into Lukaku but the Belgian skies the ball.
There will be 3 additional minutes in the first half.
GOAL!!! Dzeko! The big forward tries a shot earlier in the play but is saved well, before Milner puts the ball back into the box and Dzeko accurately heads the ball past Howard.
Naismith tries his luck from long range but his shot doesn't trouble Hart and goes out for a goal kick.
Both teams are struggling to take any risks at the moment as City look nervous and Everton look baffled by the lack of noise from the home support.
Garcia goes into the book for his late challenge on Lukaku.
Stones embarks on a run at the City defence and looks to play Lukaku through, but the forward mistimes his run and is offside.
City enjoy a good period of possession and after some neat touches Nasri works a shooting opportunity but he curls the ball well off target.
Everton are struggling to mount a threat on the City goal at the moment with all the action coming at the other end.
Toure is becoming more influential as the game goes on and everything City are doing in attack is coming through him.
Milner plays in Toure who puts the ball dangerously across the box but Dzeko doesn't anticipate the cross.
Baines delivers the corner, but the ball cleared away relatively easily.
Baines looks to put in a cross but Zabaleta blocks his attempt and it goes out for a corner.
Aguero will make way for Fernandinho.
Aguero looks to have signalled to the bench after his goal and appears to be struggling out there.
GOAL!!! AGUERO! Toure plays in the Argentine who beats the offside trap and smashes the ball past Howard who is beaten by the pace of the ball at the near post.
Barkley runs at the City defence but Kompany puts in a vital last-ditch tackle to stop the midfielder going through on goal.
Everton are enjoying a spell of possession, but they're not pushing too far into City's half. It looks like they're waiting for their opponents to wrestle the ball from them.
City are on the attack again and their defensive line is almost camped on the half-way line, but that does continue to leave them open for any counter attacks.
Man City are enjoying a sustained spell in the Everton half, but Toure's header from Milner's cross is easily dealt with.
The goal seemed to come from nothing but the Everton man has curled the ball beautifully into the top corner and the Goodison crowd have sparked into life.
GOAL!!! Barkley hits an unstoppable effort from 20 yards out and it bends just out of the reach of Hart.
Manchester City have a corner taken from Milner which is met by Garcia, but his header is straight at Howard.
Everton are so far doing a good job of containing any possession City have in their half, but the away side are pressing hard to win it back.
Lukaku neatly spreads the ball wide into Baines' feet who crosses the ball to Naismith who tries a first-time shot, but his effort is well off target.
A strangely subdued atmosphere in the ground at the moment, not much noise from the Goodison faithful.
City are already looking to camp inside the Everton half with the Toffees looking to counter on their opponents.
Aguero fires a cross across the six-yard box and the pace of the ball takes it past Dzeko and out for a throw in.
Looks like another attacking line up from Martinez with the two full backs taking up advanced positions.
Everton get us underway and are quick to get the ball passed across the defence.
Dave says: "I am hoping for an Everton win as a Liverpool fan I would like the Blues to do us a favour and also boot their chances of CL , anything to wipe that smug grin of Wengers face ! C'mon you Toffee's !!! 2-0 please guys"
Bernie says: "This will be a great game and I'm sure everyone will enjoy it. I think the Everton 343 formation will make it difficult for City. Everton will score the first goal and the Goodison faithful will lift the roof off carrying them to a 2-1 win."
Last few comments before the match starts.
The players are making their way out on to the pitch now and the Everton fans are in good voice.
Not long to go now before kick-off at Goodison and this one could be a vital game in deciding the Premier League title for the season, will Everton help their neighbours Liverpool or will City be too strong?
Karl says: "Never seen an Everton formation like it. Martinez really wants this one! COYB!"
Billy in Derby says: "City to win and do us Gooners a favour for that fourth spot. Besides couldn't stand Liverpool winning the league."
Chris Green from Huddersfield say: "Man City to win 3-1, with Nasri and Dzeko (2) scoring the goals."
James Taylor says: "It'll be a 1-0 win for Everton, As long as the everton midfield can keep Yaya Toure quiet!"
Darren says: "Man city will be on form today if it means taking the top spot. City 3-1."
Cian says: "As a Liverpool fan, really hope Everton can do it today and I'm confident they will. I'll go 2-0 Everton. Lukaku and Barkley."
Stewart MacLaren from Torrevieja in Spain says: "Everton will beat Man City 2-1 at Goodison Park this Evening with good goals from Ross Barkley & Romelu Lukaku."
Poppy waiting for a flight to Hamburg says: "2-1 to Everton with both goals from Lukaku. Let's try and win this for the fans and let Europe know that next season we are coming to the party!"

Playing for Mandy Moore helped forge guitarist's heavy metal foundations
Death Punch guitarist was in her band
EVANSVILLE - Several of the most popular bands from the contemporary hard rock and heavy metal scene will converge on Evansville this Tuesday when the Trespass America festival stops at the Ford Center.
The inaugural tour — featuring Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Pop Evil, Emmure, God Forbid and Battle-cross — kicked off earlier this month in Colorado and will hit 31 cities before it concludes in August.
The tour, which is "set on revitalizing the metal scene," according to organizers, counts Metal Hammer, the biggest metal magazine in the United Kingdom, among its underwriters.
For headliner Five Finger Death Punch and guitarist Jason Hook, it's exciting to be out on the road and making music with friends from the festival's other acts. But it's still very much a job — and a far cry from the old cliché of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
"We're pretty disciplined," says the 41-year-old Canadian. "We're doing business during the day, constantly. We spend time making music and we're always trying to prepare new material. We're very proactive in that way. We set goals for ourselves. We don't just sleep all day and party all night."
In a business where fame is fleeting, Hook knows opportunity isn't something to be squandered. He spent years paying dues as a session man in Los Angeles, finally catching a break when he joined the touring band of teen pop princess Mandy Moore.
While many metal enthusiasts would likely roll their eyes at the mere mention of Moore's name, Hook doesn't see it that way. He views his time with Moore as a means to an end: He saw a clear path into the music business, not to mention a steady paycheck.
What: Trespass America, featuring Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Pop Evil, Emmure, God Forbid and Battlecross
When:5 p.m. Tuesday
Where:Ford Center
Tickets:$23 to $33, available at the Ford Center Ticket Office, all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone at 800-745-3000
Online: www.thefordcenter.com, www.trespassamerica.com
"When I moved to Los Angeles, I was broke," Hook recalled. "I just made a pact with myself that if I could just get into the field, I was going to take the job so I could learn whatever I could. It beat working at Home Depot. I had to beat out about 50 guys at the audition. And then it was like, 'Pack a bag! We're going on tour!' I was pretty happy about it, you know?"
Hook said the Moore experience laid the foundation for much of his life as a professional musician, which eventually found him playing gigs backing the likes of Vince Neil and Alice Cooper.
"Every situation, whether it's your favorite situation or not, there's something to be learned," he explained. "The (Moore gig) taught me a lot: There were rules, you had to be on time, you had to be prepared, you had to be focused, you had to be responsible. It taught me discipline and how to work in that environment. I'm very grateful to have the history that I have. Some people think it's not cool, but that's OK. I had the option to do roof tiling and all that stuff. I just didn't want to."
Today, Hook has high hopes for Trespass America and hopes the concept can be applied across the globe — whether that ultimately means "Trespass U.K." or "Trespass Japan." Sharing a bill with other bands, he said, makes it more viable to play larger venues such as the Ford Center.
"Bigger is better. I like grandiose," Hook said. "The first part of our lives, we played smaller venues and were dreaming of 'big.' And 25 years from now, we'll be back in those clubs, remembering when it was 'big.' I'm being sarcastic, but you know what I mean. The point is, it's 'big' right now. So let it roll."

As soon as DH and I found out I was carrying a boy we knew this day would come. DS is now in K. His school called me today to ask me to come in and sign a form giving consent to have him screened for ADHD. The person I spoke to said it wasn't going to be a formal diagnostic process with a psychologist, just a "checklist." From what I've been reading online it seems they don't really diagnose ADHD before age 7 but in order to be diagnosed at that time symptoms must be present before then (for at least 6 months).
Now, DS is on an IEP and has been receiving speech and occupational therapy for 2 years. He does have issues, including some sensory issues. Up to this point his therapists and teachers have been unanimous--were unanimous at our last IEP review last spring--that they were not concerned about ADHD at all.
Now this.
Should I consent? I think it may be setting him up for a diagnosis--a false one--when his issues are such as can mimic attention issues--he's wiggly because of sensory issues, for example.
I just think it's ridiculous and out of the blue because his kindergarten teacher at our conference last month expressed no concerns, was very happy with him.
I'd want to understand what changed for them. It does seem strange as his teacher did not express any concerns just a few weeks ago. Perhaps the school did some grade testing that was not administered by his teacher and that person thought there is an issue?
That said, ds' school essentially told us that they did not consider ADHD before 2nd or 3rd grade and our family therapist kept putting us off of it too. For us that was a huge mistake and in K ds had a discipline folder thicker than most high schoolers. We finally had an OT evaluation and an evaluation by a psychiatrist (both private) just before first grade. Ds does have a few sensory issues but also has ADHD.
Also, there are several forms of ADD, not just hyperactive.
I think you should call a meeting with the teacher, anyone involved with his IEP, and whoever would be doing the evaluation before signing anything. Do you have any diagnosis for sensory issues? I know we all hate to label kids, but if a correct diagnosis (whatever it may be) comes out of all this, the school will be better equipped to formally provide any needed support.
It seems like a psychologist or pediatrician would have to diagnose....maybe they were talking about the Connor's scale that the teacher and parents fill out??
Yes, ADD/ADHD is a medical dx and has to be done by a Dr. The schools usually use the Conner for two reasons
1. to help rule out ADD/ADHD when doing other evaluations (it will prove that further looking in to ADD/ADHD is not needed)- mostly to cover themselves and proof that x concerns were not likely due to ADD/ADHD
2. To provide a springboard for families/schools to communicate w/ Dr. about ADD/ADHD concerns.
Our school even used it to help form a support group/class for our social worker. Kids that scored x on Conner's were in a social skills class with/wo a formal ADD/ADHD dx. It was a way to help w/ funding grant for the social worker.
My daughter's school when the school evaluated her, me and the teachers filled out the DBRS ( Disruptive Behavior Rating Scale) for seeing if she met the cut off for ADHD.
When a Dr making the diagnosis. they mainly just ask you questions, ask the child questions. and review any evaluations that were done like if the school evaluated your child.
thanks, all, I've calmed down a little. Yes, it's just going to be a checklist for now. With his issues I guess it makes sense to rule out everything or make sure they're doing what they can to meet his needs. Really I've been pleased with the special ed services and the attitude of everyone--they all like DS and act like they like him--as opposed to acting like he's a "problem" which is my biggest fear. Though I have spent some time this morning looking at the websites of some private boys' schools nearby. I have a theory that boys just aren't nurtured, if that's the right word, in a traditional school environment... anyway I signed the form, they will do the evaluation (that and also re-assessing his OT and ST needs) within a month, we'll get the results, and have his IEP review in March.

Eh, I've seen people post about problems in various school environments. I'm not saying don't investigate to find the best situation for your ds, but if the school is proactive/caring/helpful I'd be reluctant to leave unless you know the new location is better. Last year ds was at a school (well funded district) where he was looked at as the "problem" (suspended twice and ISS five times) -- and they did not meet their obligations under Child Find (I know now)-- and it was awful, awful, awful. His new school (charter/70+% free lunch eligible) is much, much better--the principle actually thanked me for being such an involved parent after ds had a really difficult week.
The ratings scales typically have a piece for the school to fill out, as well as a piece for parents to fill out. Those pieces are taken together and scored, which is necessary to determine if behavior is consistent at home and at school, etc. More than one teacher can fill out a ratings scale, as well, which helps look for consistent issues. It's really helpful for a clinician (pedi, psychologist, etc.) to have as much data as possible. A clinician, BTW, is the only person who should be dx. ADHD, and my guess is that kindy is young for a formal dx., even if characteristics are there,
If I were in your shoes, I would be asking the school what they hope to gain with this information? I think it's important with any testing to be aware of some broad endpoint goals. What will this information be used for in a practical sense? What will change for your ds in his day to day school experience? If your son already has an IEP, is the school looking to add accommodations for this year, or is this a process of beginning to look at what might be needed for first grade? Is there something that the school is looking to give/do for your son that isn't being done now? These are the questions I would be asking because a ratings scale in and of itself is not that useful.
The Connor's was useful in my DS' diagnosis. He first had it in kindergarten. It was good info to review and I kept it in the back of my head. However I thought DS was too young for a diagnosis. He was diagnosed in 1st grade by his psychologist. We tried many things at school. We tried medication in 2nd grade and it has been a lifesaver for us! He is lucky that his school and teachers have been very accomodating!
thanks for all the feedback. We'll see what happens. I have a further question--which I will bring to them when it comes up. How do they separate ADHD symptoms from all the sensory stuff? He has so many sensory issues and I suspect many of the behaviors that led them to want to do the add checklist overlap with sensory issues--he can be very sensory-seeking. And he has trouble functioning in loud environments (such as a crowded classroom). Anyone have experience with that?
I found this interesting article.

One of the best feelings in the world is when someone believes and tells you, you are the one.
Coffee inspires creativity. Coffee calms the wandering artist.
Happy Bones is a quaint and vibrant cafe located at Little Italy. It is the perfect spot to take a breather and reenergise yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed by hustle and bustle of city life.
The space might be small but the simple interior, white walls, and creative decors will give your mind the rest and balance it is seeking.
If you feel like your creativity is on a stand-still, look through their unique books and merchandise and you might just find the "aha moment" you're looking for.
A flat white lover at heart, it was truly a comfort to know they are offering it. I wish though that it was creamier but nonetheless, it was still great coffee.
I read several reviews that Happy Bones have delectable doughnuts so it was quite disappointing they didn't have it when I went but their Blue Cheese & Pecan Scone was an excellent match to my coffee.
Location: 394 Broome St. New York
Rice to Riches is definitely a haven for dessert and rice lovers! And this is only one of the reasons why I love SoHo.
The idea of a rice pudding may be too common or simple but Rice to Riches found a way to make it exciting and vibrant for the compulsively obsessed dessert loving people. It is a complete experience!
As soon as you enter the store, you will feel this electrifying and contagious energy as if everyone is having an adrenalin rush as they try to pick one flavour over the other.
You look at the walls and immediately you are glued to the experience. You zoom out and zoom in to appreciate the wall art. You tug the polo shirt of the person you're with to share the experience. You laugh your hearts out as if each phrase has a hidden meaning for the both of you. And then you understand why Rice to Riches is almost like a happy drug.
As the line gets shorter, your eyes marvel at the vibrant colours and you feel like a child in a candy store. You close your eyes as you let your senses decide on which flavour will give your day the perfect ending. You open your mouth and finally say your sin- "One medium cup of Fluent in French Toast & Raspberry Statement please." And that's all it takes to lose your self-control for a minute…or maybe the entire the night. After all, it's been a long day, a long week. Losing yourself in a dessert is always one of the best luxuries in life.
The best experiences are shared with those you love. Try different flavours and get lost in the moment!
Highly Recommended Flavors: Fluent in French Toast, Play it Again Butter Pecan, and Man-made Mascarpone
Location: 37 Spring St. New York
We all go on a journey to find clarity and answers. Ironically, sometimes uncertainty is the only answer we can find. And after a while we realise that we can't find our self and future in someone else's eyes. After a while we realise that we have been living a dream that only we can see. And we learn to endure…to hope… or maybe one day to simply let go.
Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee so I start my days with a trip to a good coffee shop. One of the best cafes in New York is Stumptown Coffee Roasters.
I dropped by their first cafe in New York, which is at the lobby of The Ace Hotel at 18 West 29th Street. A long line welcomed me but that was a good sign!
The industrial interior gave the cafe a cool vibe. The actual cafe didn't have any seats but you can meet with your friends and colleagues at the lobby of the hotel. I also noticed that their entire team was made up of women. I'm not sure if it was intentional but I like the idea of it. :)
They have several merchandise but more are available on their website.
Their cappuccino and Dulce de Leche doughnut is a match made in heaven! The creaminess of the cappuccino did not overpower the coffee, which I was happy about. The doughnut had a sweet filling in the middle, which woke my heart, made me smile…
…and it even wished me luck!
After enjoying my "breakfast", I bought their House and Holler Mountain Blends and to my surprise they gave me a free cup of coffee! Now, that's something all cafes should do.

KHTS AM1220's morning man Brandon Gibson got a sweet surprise Monday morning when dozens of minions showed up at the studio.

IHOP guests are invited to take part in the Minion Madness by ordering the craveable, new minion-inspired menu items that include CinniMinions, Loaded Minion Taters, Minion Berry Pancakes and Minionade.

Franko Barrera, the general manager of the IHOP at Soledad Canyon Road at Vilna Drive (with Brandon at right), brought stacks of the Minion Berry Pancakes and CinniMinions for the staff at the radio station to enjoy. Gibson eagerly stepped up for the first bite.
"Wow!" he exclaimed between bites of Cinniminions, before diving in to the pile of lemony flapjacks, topped with berries and whipped cream.
The limited-time Despicable Me menu items will only be available until August 29. They include:
Loaded Minion Taters, a heaping serving of crispy Tater Tot potatoes loaded with cheese sauce, bacon, tomatoes, jalapenos, shredded Jack and Cheddar cheeses and sour cream. Served with two eggs any style and two buttermilk pancakes.
CinniMinions are diabolically-delicious, warm dough bites dusted with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with cream cheese icing; served with a choice of eggs, hash browns and choice of bacon, pork sausage or ham.
Minion Berry Pancakes are concocted of two fluffy lemon pancakes topped with triple berry compote and creamy whipped topping; served with a choice of eggs, hash browns and choice of bacon, pork sausage or ham.
A Kids CinniMinon Breakfast consists of two CinniMinion dough bites, one scrambled egg and one slice of bacon for the little minions 12 and under in your family.
A day of mischief is not complete without an ice-cold glass of Minionade – a sweet and tangy strawberry lemonade topped with colorful sprinkles. Available in regular and kid sizes.
The Minion madness continues online at IHOP.com, a Minionized homepage and a microsite at www.ihop.com/despicableme complete with interactive games and downloadable promotion elements. Guests can also enter the Minion Madness sweepstakes online for a chance to win a grand prize trip for four to Universal Studios Orlando or Los Angeles, as well as other amazing prizes including a Nintendo DS, "Despicable Me" videogame for Nintendo DS and much more.
The film "Despicable Me" follows Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), as he plans the biggest heist in the history of the world: to steal the moon. Surrounded by a small army of mischievous little minions and armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles, Gru vanquishes all who stand in his way. That is, until he encounters the immense will of three little girls who look at him and see something that no one else has: a potential Dad.

I realize this is a crazy question but… I am looking to purchase a theme outright – as in I own the theme completely – is there anyway that I could do that as a buyer? I am not looking for an extended license, I want to own the entire theme – I see some themes that look awesome, but don't really want other people to be able to purchase them to – does this make sense?
Anyways, I am looking to do just that – I have a pretty decent budget and am looking for a Responsive WP Business style theme.
Hit me up if you have a theme you want to unload – (like an under performing one or something).
If u have a decent budget then why not pay someone to design and build something for you from scratch to your specs?
Then there is no compromise on what features are there and also u can be sure no one will have a copy of it?
The problem is that I need the theme by Monday morning. I did hire a developer on Elance and I haven't heard from him in a week and a half – lost a ton of money. I am in a bit of a bind really, just trying to purchase a pre-built since I need it by monday.
The only way is to contact the author of that theme and make him an offer to remove the theme from ThemeForest. But if it's a decent theme, you'll end up paying some thousands for it.
So you want a very good theme that no one has bought yet and you want the author to remover from the market?
I think your chances are slim, unless you don't mind if someone else already bought it.

As long as you realize / understand that a theme is not actually a pre-built site. It's more akin to the building tools / materials for a house. Once you have them, you can start construction. There's still much work to do even if you were to have the perfect theme (tools / materials) in hand.
Expect to pay thousands for that kind of exclusivity and even more to develop it after acquiring it.
