The left-side dishwasher door spring snapped. The door was then noticeably heavy to open and close. To investigate the problem, I shut off the circuit breaker and the water feed. I removed the two screws that secure the top of the dishwasher to the counter, so I could pull out the unit and see the door springs. (TIP: remove the bottom metal panel as well to see if you have a flexible or rigid pipe for hot water. If you have a rigid pipe like I do you might want to be careful pulling the unit forward.) With the unit pulled forward I could see the snapped spring; it had actually shot up and was wedged between the unit and the cabinet. To to the repair, I attached the new spring to the door first. Then I closed the door so the spring was slack and used pliers to attach it to the bottom of the unit. (To access the bottom of the unit, you need to remove the metal panel at the bottom, as mentioned above.) I used the other spring as a comparison as to where to attach.

Minor spoilers for HG/SS...
I have a few, but none is more memorable than my win over Red in Pokemon HeartGold.
I went in like 20 levels underleveled, and that was for my strongest Pokemon. All I did was spam whatever items I had and get good matchups. I gave up hope many times, but kept battling for the heck of it. Hail really helped do some extra damage. Every KO of his Pokemon was a massive accomplishment - especially that Snorlax!
Finally, it got down to my Raikou against his Lapras - both full health. At this point I had used LITERALLY every single item I had. If I had ONE revive or hyper potion less, I would have lost the battle. I couldn't decide to use Thunder or Thunderbolt - one is weaker and might kill in three, while one is stronger, would kill in two, but might miss. I went with a Thunder. It hit. Lapras used Blizzard. 14 HP left. Last turn. It all comes down to this. I thought to go with thunderbolt....but would it finish Lapras off? Went with Thunder again, and it hit. RNG loved me. 30 minute battle. Best moment ever. Never played HGSS again.

The Ritz-Carlton Montréal is a hotel that is found at 1228 Sherbrooke Street West, on the corner of Drummond Street, in Montréal, Quebec. Opened in 1912, it was the first hotel in North America to bear the "Ritz Carlton" name.[1] The Ritz-Carlton hotel located in the luxurious Golden Square Mile is only partially branded by the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, as it is otherwise independently owned.
The original builders called themselves the Carlton Hotel Company of Montreal with the concept of naming it after London's celebrated Carlton Hotel. However, one of the investors, Charles Hosmer, was a personal friend of César Ritz and he successfully persuaded his colleagues to incorporate the 'Ritz' name, owing to the success of the Hôtel Ritz Paris, opened in 1898.
For a fee of $25,000, Ritz agreed to lend his name, but stipulated that in accordance with the 'Ritz standards', every room was to have its own bathroom; there was to be a kitchen on every floor so room-service meals could be served course by course; and a round-the-clock valet and concierge service was to be made available to the guests for, amongst other duties, tracking lost luggage or ordering theatre tickets etc.[2] Finally, the lobby was to be small and intimate yet with a curved grand staircase for the ladies to show off their ball gowns on their descent.[3]
Early years[edit]
Montreal had long held a reputation for its sumptuous hospitality, going back to at least 1820 when John Bigsby observed that the city's hotels were "as remarkable for their palatial exteriors as they are for their excellent accommodation within."[4] In the 1840s, Donegana's Hotel, the largest in the British Colonies, had a reputation equal to, if not exceeding, that of New York's Astor House.[5] From the 1870s, the Windsor had been Montreal's pre-eminent hotel, but by 1909 certain of Montreal's wealthiest citizens felt that the increasingly influential city now needed a modern "first class residential hotel" to bring it into the Edwardian era.
Led by Charles Hosmer (a personal friend of César Ritz); Sir Herbert Holt, Sir Montague Allan and Sir Charles Gordon, met with Hon. Lionel Guest (a first cousin of Winston Churchill) and Harry Higgins (Chairman of the Ritz Hotel London) to found the Carlton Hotel Company of Montreal. The land on which the hotel was built was purchased from Charles Meredith, who became the fifth principal shareholder and had a significant influence on the hotel's image and future.[6] The hotel was designed by the architectural firm of Warren and Wetmore[2] and was completed at a cost of $2 million. Its doors were officially opened at 11:15 pm on New Year's Eve, 1912, marked by a gala ball attended by 350 guests.
As the founders had hoped, two-thirds of the guests at the Ritz-Carlton took suites comprising several rooms and lived there permanently for $29 a month.[7] The First World War had made standards difficult to keep and in 1922, in direct rivalry to the Ritz-Carlton, the largest hotel in the British Empire was built on its doorstep with 1,100 rooms – the Mount Royal Hotel (not connected to the club of the same name). Helped by its more central location within what would later be termed as the Golden Square Mile, since opening its doors the Ritz-Carlton had joined the Mount Royal Club (whose co-founders included Allan and Meredith) as one of the two most fashionable meeting places for moneyed Montreal. On Valentine's Day, 1916, the first transcontinental telephone call was made at the hotel. An audience of two hundred businessmen were said to have listened breathlessly as the Chairman of the Bell Telephone Company enquired: "Hello. Is this Vancouver?" The clear reply - "Yes" - was met with a roar of approval and toasted with champagne.[8]
In the years before the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the hotel enjoyed a period of great prosperity. In 1918, Lord Birkenhead described it as "very luxurious and comfortable"[9] and the American Bankers Association held their annual meetings there. In 1919, the Prince of Wales made the first Royal visit, staying in the seventeen-room Royal Suite. On successive trips to Montreal he stayed in private houses, but always met friends for drinks there. Queen Marie of Romania, Prince Felix of Luxembourg and Prince George, Duke of Kent were also guests in the 1920s. Lillie Langtry stayed, and movie idols such as Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks drew swarming crowds of fans.[10] It was the favourite hotel of ex-US President William Howard Taft and his wife, and they "entertained lavishly" in the Presidential Suite for all of 1921.[11]
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 was followed by the Great Depression and then World War II. The Swiss General Manager, Émile Charles des Baillets, had been with the hotel since 1924. In 1929, he lamented that before guests had come to stay for several weeks accompanied by trains of luggage, but during this time, when they did come, they came for a night or two with only a single bag.[12]
Fortunately for the hotel, many of its in-house residents were not as badly affected as their American counterparts following 1929, and they stayed loyal to the hotel through its dark days. From the 1930s, when the widows and residents of the Golden Square Mile began to downsize from their mansions, a great many took rooms in the hotel, such as Lady Shaughnessy and founder Charles Hosmer's son, Elwood, who between him and sister had inherited $20 million from their father in 1927.[10] The hotel's international reputation remained untarnished with guests such as Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, Marlene Dietrich, Liberace, Tyrone Power and Maurice Chevalier; but as the last of the loyal Square Milers (who had been so pivotal to its early success) were dying off, the hotel began to fall into debt.
Wartime shortages made it difficult to maintain the graceful living standards set by the original founders.[12] The General Manager, des Baillets, was succeeded by Albert Frossard in 1940, another native of Switzerland. Unhappily, and not without a fight, Frossard had to bow to the directors' commands to relax the custom of formal dress, of either White tie or Black tie, to suits in order to allow more people to dine at the hotel. Not that the founders would have approved, but the change worked and the hotel realized larger profits.[12]
In 1947, the hotel was sold to François Dupré, forming a new board of directors and naming himself president. Already the owner of two prestigious hotels in Paris - Hotel George V, Paris and the Plaza Athénée - Dupré had money, talent and experience, bringing with him some of the flair of César Ritz. He opened le Bar Maritime in 1948 and in the early 1950s added the Ritz Garden, where patrons could dine around a flower-fringed pond, home to twenty four ducklings. On one unseasonably cold summer night, a kind-hearted waiter took the ducks inside. The following day, during lunch, another waiter opened a tureen, and to his surprise, all the ducks waddled out. Amused guests helped staff round them up and returned them to the garden.[12]
In 1957, a new wing consisting of sixty-seven rooms and suites was added, and care was taken to maintain the original Ritz-influenced Louis XVI and Carlton-influenced Regency styles and ambience. When the renovation was complete, Howard Hughes was the first person to check in, booking out over half of the eighth floor. Between 1959 and 1969 the image of the hotel was more like that of a Gentlemen's club. It catered to Montreal's old money and kept a low key, understated profile.[13] However, publicity it could not escape was the wedding of Elizabeth Taylor to Richard Burton that took place there in 1964.[14]
Modern times[edit]
By 1970, it was felt an overhaul was long overdue. Shedding its formal image, it was updated to one of historical importance yet with modern styles, luxury and services.[3] A year after Richard Nixon stayed, in 1972 The Rolling Stones booked out the entire sixth floor, but were refused service in the main dining room for not being suitably attired – they returned in jackets. In 1976, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip stayed. By 1979, the lobby and reception areas were enlarged and 100 rooms and suites had been redecorated. In 1984, Brian Mulroney was using the hotel like a second home and Pierre Elliott Trudeau was also becoming a familiar sight since having taken up residence at Maison Cormier in the same year. Modern guests have included George Bush Sr. and Celine Dion. In January 1992, the hotel was sold and became affiliated with the European-based Kempinski group of five-star hotels, becoming independently managed while still operating under the Ritz-Carlton banner.
Recent developments[edit]
In 2006, the hotel was sold to a group of private corporate investors, including a subsidiary of Monaco Luxury Hotels and Resorts.[15] Plans for a complete overhaul were immediately effected and the hotel closed for renovations in 2008. Outlines of its Edwardian splendour remain, mixed with contemporary elegance. The number of rooms have been reduced by over half (229 to 98), replaced with luxury condo-suites and 35 condo-residences which have been put on the market.[16] In 2011, chef Daniel Boulud announced he would open a restaurant in the Jardin du Ritz in early 2012 called Maison Boulud.[17]
Pulling the hotel into the 21st century has not escaped controversy. In his 2011 book, The Suite Life: The Magic and Mystery of Hotel Living, Christopher Heard wrote, "The hotel has completely betrayed what it once was with this transformation. No longer will it be La Grande Dame, the Ritz-Carlton of old... the focus shifting from taking care of guests to making sure suite owners are happy".[18] However, it must be remembered that the original five investors had desired a modern "first class residential hotel," and back then in its golden years when it was the first choice of any visiting dignitary, two thirds of the guests had called the hotel 'home'.[7] Having been closed for four years during the refurbishment, the hotel opens its doors again in June, 2012, to celebrate its centennial anniversary. Its luxurious transformation has not skipped on detail or design, and La Grand Dame perks the curiosity of many passersby as she begins to awake from her four year slumber.

Watt 'lobbying' to play on offense
J.J. Watt isn't satisfied being one of the most dominant players on defense.
The Texans star defensive end is making his pitch to play a little offense.
"I've been lobbying since Day 1," Watt told the Houston Chronicle. "It hasn't worked yet, so I don't think it's going to work anytime soon. But it's (coach Gary Kubiak's) team."
So what was Kubiak's reaction to this twist?
"We might let him in there at some point," Kubiak said. "But it's not going to be anytime soon."
The idea might not be so far-fetched. Watt, the 2012 AP Defensive Player of the Year, initially played tight end at Central Michigan. His legendary athleticism and size (6-5, 289 pounds) might also make him a viable pass-catching option in goal-line situations.
"It's just about being an athlete," Watt told the Houston Chronicle. "Catching balls is fun. Just doing whatever you can to be an athlete, working on hand-eye coordination and the little things. It never hurts to be able to catch a football."

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission's Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (DSIO) has granted no-action relief from certain reporting obligations to commodity pool operators (CPOs) of registered investment companies (RICs) that trade commodity interests through wholly owned subsidiaries known as controlled foreign corporations (CFCs). This coincides with the CFTC's recent rule release harmonizing compliance obligations for RICs (and CFCs) that are also regulated as commodity pools. More information regarding the CFTC's recent rule release is available here.
Pursuant to the no-action letter, a CPO of an RIC that uses a wholly owned CFC to trade commodity interests would not be required to separately report to National Futures Association under CFTC Regulations 4.22(c) and 4.27(c) for such CFC, but rather would be permitted to file consolidated information for the RIC and its CFC(s). To obtain such relief, among other requirements, the CPO of the CFC must also be the CPO of the RIC, and must file a claim of relief with the DSIO via electronic mail pursuant to the instructions set out in the no-action letter.

We camped here in a 40' rig. The interior roads and actual camping pads were asphalt. Interior roads were easy to navigate. The pads were wide and level. It was an OK price for a 30 amp W/E site. The views of the surrounding mountains and the actual reservoir were wonderful to look at. There was no shade trees in the park or at the sites, but, it cooled off very comfortably in the evenings and we were able to sit out and enjoy the evenings and stars. Electric and water service were strong. If you are a canoer or kayaker the reservoir looked like it had some calm quiet water to kayak in. You are located approximately 15 miles from any major food stores or restaurants. We would stay here again if in the area. - Tiffinatic

In addition to the nightly fee, there is an $8 fee if you reserve using the reservation system. Camp hosts were friendly and helpful. This park is off the beaten track, about 20 miles off I-15, but well worth a visit. There are two campgrounds at this park. The Great Horned Owl campground doesn't have hookups. The Choke Cherry campground has full hookups (30 amp). However, the sewer connections are at the very back of the sites and difficult to reach. We had a 30' hose and it was stretched to reach the connection. The park is located next to a lake that was surrounded by snow capped peaks when we were there. Beautiful location to relax. The park seems to be a favorite for locals, particularly on Saturday nights, so it's best to make a reservation in advance if you want to stay over a Saturday night. There are a few trails from the park that lead to the lake. The park is big rig friendly with both pull throughs and back-ins. It's best to assess the site assigned to determine from which direction you should approach it. (Park has a two way loop and you can end up backing in or pulling in from a difficult angle.) If you want a good lake view, the best sites, in our opinions, are 9, 11, 13, 27, 30 and 37. Sprint service was excellent. We loved this park and will return. - Guinness

We stay at Deer Creek often. We prefer to stay there in the late fall (usually late September through October). The bathrooms are always clean, the showers are clean for the type of showers they are, and the sites are great. The sites are quite private and are always clean.They are large enough for big RVs (ours is a 40 ft 5th wheel and 4 door powerstroke) and some accommodate an additional vehicle. We have never had an issue with the electricity but the water is turned off by late September and the reservation website does not inform you of that. The dump is extremely easy to access and always clean. The only reason we would not give this campground a 10 is due to the reservation issues we have had. It is difficult to reserve a site (the campground is always full and the booking range is limited) and you are charged the full rate if you book on-line even when the water is shut-off (but, again, the website does not inform you of that). Additional shade would also be nice but we really love Deer Creek! Save travels! - Jules M

The views and location alone make this state park a not to miss when camping in Heber Valley/Midway, UT. We camped in a 36 foot fifth wheel and noticed when comparing the campsite links on Reserve America to what we know are true length to be, there were major discrepancies. Be certain that you add several extra feet to what your RV length requirements may be to avoid any site issues. The campground is narrow and many sites are very far from level. Excellent 30/50amp and beautiful hiking throughout the area. AT&T Cell phone reception was very weak in the campsite, but stronger in town. We would stay here again. - RVLife4us
Sep 2013 - $28.00
Older unit of the Utah State Parks system. It is located in a narrow valley looking down onto the area around Midway and Heber UT. Quite a bit of vegetation and nice spacing between sites. Deer came through between sites during our stay. Hills on both sides limit the amount of morning and evening sun. The roads and sites are asphalt and ours was close to level. A very nice looking golf course is a part of the park. The roads are quite narrow and both sides are lines with large rocks. Read site descriptions carefully as some of them require short turns or have very steep approaches or departures. Due to the amount of vegetation, the steepness of the canyon, and the limited access I would not be at all comfortable in this area during periods of high fire danger. Not for "Big Rigs". Area is in need of some upgrades. Probably would not stay here again due to access issues. Note Reserve America runs the reservation system for Utah State Parks and adds $8.00 for making the reservation. - SWID

Kickended by Silvio Lorusso is online database artwork archiving the Kickstarted campaigns that got not even a single penny. This competitive aesthetics of failure has been able to attract the attention of major national newspapers (from the British "The Guardian" to the Italian "Corriere della Sera").
WYHIWYG, what you hear is what you get
WYHIWYG what you hear is what you get. This seems to be the last link of a long chain of acronyms coined during the years and related to the evolution of the man-machine interaction. From the original 'What you see is what you get' many other acronyms hassprung, like WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean) used for Lynx, a textual browser or WYSIWIS (What You See Is What I See) related to general models of the establishment of user interfaces in synchronous groupware. The lowest common denominator of all these meanings is the constant relationship to the visual ability. With WYHIWYG on the other hand there's a double revolution: both sensorial and semantic. As a matter of fact entering a web address, WYHIWYG will generate in a few seconds an mp3 track with a synthetic reading of the code with the proper metrics. So the website will become 'readable', explicit and it'll make listenable what usually is not heard nor seen: the code. The re-appropriation of this sensorial faculties, often wasted by the visual supremacy, inevitably causes the overtaking of the perspective based on the point of view constriction in favor of a multisensorial representation. This is clearly perceivable when the concepts of horizontality and frontality are really scaled down. This generates, as Bruno Munari said a "design for all the senses".

Dylan does thrive live sometimes like this "Shelter From The Storm" from 1976. Nice doo-rag, Bob!
rockin version of shelter from the storm, very nice.
Funky version of a great song... Sweet.
Dylan live is apparently hit or miss thesedays, but thankfully he's been "on" both times I've seen him.
Unfortunately assworks, your limited musical brain doesn't allow for you to appreciate things such as Bob Dylan in this early stage of development. Don't worry....there's hope.
Sometimes the phenomena known as MTV or Musical Tunnel Vision ( in Glasswork's case obviously Phish )gradually disappears as the subject enters full adulthood leaving said subject with the ability to process and enjoy music in it's entirety.
I wish you luck, sir.
really glassworks? are you that big a moron?
i meant assworks sorry
sweet shelter from the storm! Notice in the video everyone in the band but the bass player is sporting the doo-rag--hilarious! Bob is the man
glassworks, why do you post on every article? You seem to amaze me everyday with a new way to yourself and human beings in general. Really, the only thing going for you in you picture of hampton, which we are all really excited about. So what are you saying "Really," to this time that Bob Dylan is on tour, that you dont think updating music fans about the plans of one of the greatest singer songwriters is worth you time. Heres what I want from you for the holidays. Please stop posting negative immature stupid pea brain remarks. I am sorry that I went off but I had unprotected sex last night and I think she was having crabs for dinner if you know what I mean, so that plus the continuous negativity of glassworks did not start me day off on the right foot so sorry once again my fellow music lovers. Have a safe and beautiful evening and go see live music
hell yea I would pay for a ticket if he sounded like he did in that video. I love dylan. but now its just rediculous. I only see him if I get free tickets or I sneek in (like I did on election night in minnesota)
Really !!!
dylan is a talented musician that stood the test of time.
he is so talented, and beautiful.
His voice is going, but his spirit is still strong.
As long as he still has the energy to put on a concert, I will gladly go. Even if he is having an "off day".
anyone who doubts dylans greatness, is just an idiot.
One of the best videos relayed via Jambase.com ever!
Great job Editor! (if you have the time Dylan would be a great sunday stew!)
This is the time of the year in Fargo, when I wish Dylan would come back to his roots in ND and the Iron Range in MN.
I have seen him 30+ times in large and small venues and his show never gets old.
damnit i love me some bob!!!
I love this video. I saw dylan in canindagua last tour and thought it was not this, it was still good. The tunes are very different but done in interesting ways and his band is very strong. as a musician i felt like i was traveling to mecca.
GLASSWORKS has once again shown us that he is one of the kids who goes to festivals and shows for everything but music. drugs, dumb little hippie girl poon, and glassworks to show his friends back home. douche
Bob and I go way back. Thankfully the Never Ending Tour remains intact. Our brothers and sisters in Europe love Bob, perhaps more than we do in the States.
dude nice to see youve been inspired by brilliant username^^ that version of shelter of the storm along with the rest of the show can be found on the album hard rain. Bob Dylan... i fucking love you beyond description.
Rainydayman goes way back to..............
That's Mr. Rainydayman to you, ozark
Yup, Hard Rain is indeed the shit. That album's version of Lay, Lady, Lay kicks an obscene amount of ass.
His spirit is def still alive as is apparent on his latest album, Modern Times, which a testiment that the creative juices are still flowing strong.
its a reminder that the world can be an intelligent place when people like bob dylan achieve success. if i had to believe anything i'd say he would rather us disregard all the negativity as it thrives on the attention it inevitably receives. they are generally weak minded people who cast unknowledgeable opinions, but made of flesh and bone like us all. as a better example is set they may eventually understand what is desired of them, or not. collective conciousness can defeat all malice.
Ummm...god bless the man seriously. I would go so far as to say that Bobby D is the greatest singer/songwriter ever. However, his current live show is pretty lousy. First off, the man doesn't play guitar anymore...he plays a keyboard. Supposedly this is due to arthritis in his hands. Secondly, he has rearranged all of his tunes into this slow and boring back-porch country style. No offense Bobby, but people save your money and buy his live releases from the 60's-70's.
^^ I totally disagree, Seen him 3-4 times over the last 3-4 years & have been very impressed with his live show, the band is top notch & Bob, well hes Bob. Go see him before he is gone!
Bob hooks us up large...three nights in Amstardam
it's what i need
see you there

Baseball CityRead MoreAll Star Club members can boost both their athletic abilities and cash flow by brandishing Baseball City's modern equipment and by enrolling in classes at discounted rates. Budding MVPs bloom under the warming glow of several clinics, which impart lessons in hitting, fielding, pitching, and flagging down wandering peanut vendors. Resident trainers also host private sessions to give players the extra attention they need to excel at duet singing. Even without enrollment in lessons, members and their families benefit from unlimited use of the training area, a 10% discount in the pro shop, and the right to reserve batting cages in advance to prevent paraphrased renditions of "Who's On First."216 Murphy RdHartford, CT US

Holyoke Blue SoxRead MoreA member of the New England Collegiate Baseball League since 2008, the Blue Sox incubates top college players while they stay fresh and limber between seasons in the NCAA. Partially funded by Major League Baseball, the league consists of 10 teams across six New England states, all competing in a summer of hardball that begins in June and concludes with the playoffs in August, just before players trade in baseballs for rubber-band balls and return to school. Originally founded in 1997 as the Concord Quarry Dogs, the Blue Sox wield homefield advantage at Mackenzie Stadium, a venue that can seat more than 4,000 fans or 30 anti-T-shirt missile silos.500 Beech St.Holyoke, MA US
Mountain MeadowRead MoreYour average golf course might take up as many as 4,000,000 square feet, yet Mountain Meadow's sports lounge is only around 10,000. That doesn't mean golfers still can't get in a full round, thanks to the facility's four state-of-the-art golf simulators, which invite players to get some practice in no matter whether the forecast calls for wet rain or pesky sunlight. But the fun doesn't stop at golf; visitors can also play pool, shoot darts, or retire to a private card game room for some Texas Hold 'Em or high-stakes Go Fish atop professional tables. Larger parties can also rent out the facility's event room, named the Pinnacle, which comes replete with a stage and lighting effects.478 US Rte 4Enfield, NH US

It is actually easier than that. If you look at the breaker box, if the breakers for the outlets that you are planning on using for powerline are on the same side of the box (they usually run in 2 rows), then it will most likely work. If they are on opposite sides, then you are YMMV.
6 TV's in the house with Verizon FiOS and we only pay $4.99/month to connect all 6 of them. Thanks to Ceton InfiniTV and Windows Media Center.
how WELL it works is another story. the rates can vary a lot even with the same adapters. even in the same house. even in the same room. hence the "ymmv" part.
also it depends on what the users wants to do. i know someone who bought a 200mbit kit. i got involved after the purchase. he plugged one in at one end of the house then attached a router to the other end and expected all 6 pc's - 4 wired and two wireless off that router - to be able to stream stuff just dandy.
since we're talking about something inherently sensitive to throughput it may not work for everyone depending on what they're looking to get out of it.
it's almost like buying a new car but not getting the intended fuel efficiency. sure the car works but .. you're not getting the mileage you wanted.
if only there were a term for that!
In this way all packets routed between local machines would never go over the powerline (HDHR to xbox client, or file playback from a NAS), and only requests out to the web and back would hit the 200mbit link between the switch and the router (plenty for web/video streams).
TLDR on the guys having issues deciding to go with powerline or MOCA or whatever other technology.
You may not feel its 'worth' putting the time in to run cat5e/cat6 BUT IT IS.
Technology is only advancing further and further requiring more and more bandwidth, even on local networks.
Going wired with your home network is one of the best and cheapest investments you can make to boost your internal infrastructure to support cool things like this!

Video: Tour the facilities at "The U"
When it comes to the football facilities, Miami really knows what they're doing. The branding of The U and graphics are everywhere you look, big names are peppered everywhere, and no facility embraces white (think old-school Miami Vice) quite like the Hurricanes do.
Here, quarterback Brad Kaaya takes you through the facility, with a focus on the "The Rock" locker room and the Jonathan Vilma players lounge, both of which are pretty impressive. The quote game displayed on the walls is pretty strong too.
I can see recruits really liking what Miami has to offer here.

Return of Reagan Spring 2015 hype
Assessing the progress of third-year head coaches
The last two coaching change cycles have been relatively quiet by recent standards, and that's perhaps in part due to the frenzy that athletics directors and university presidents found themselves in during the final weeks of 2012 and the first weeks of 2013. Twenty-nine coaches hired prior to the 2013 season will enter their third seasons this fall – nearly as many as the two following classes combined.
As you'll see below, the first two seasons for the 29 members of the 2013 class have followed many different paths. Some have been handed the keys to a Maserati, others are trying to build a new car from spare parts, and still others are on the side of the road staring at a smoking engine while wondering how on Earth they ended up where they are.
Year three is always a critical one for a new coach, and this year's results could determine whether or not another large hiring class is ushered in before the 2016 season.
Steve Addazio, Boston College (14-12, 8-8 ACC): Addazio has posted matching records of 7-6 overall and 4-4 in ACC play in each of his two seasons, though through different methods. His 2013 Eagles leaned heavily on Heisman Trophy finalist Andre Williams, while last year's bunch incorporated the running ability of Florida quarterback transfer Tyler Murphy. Either way, Addazio's teams have fit well with the BC mold: a team that probably won't compete for a championship but – as Florida State saw in November – will be a tough out every single week.
Dave Doeren, N.C. State (11-14, 3-13 ACC): After a 3-9 reboot year, Doeren's club rebounded to win the St. Petersburg Bowl in year two while joining the gaggle of teams to get a few jabs in on Florida State before the 'Noles responded with a haymaker. The 2014 Wolfpack's eight wins came against its eight worst opponent and its five losses came by the hands of the five best. Instead of enjoying life in the wide-open Coastal, Doeren must gear N.C. State up to compete in a division with Florida State, Clemson and Louisville.
Scott Shafer, Syracuse (10-15, 5-11): Shafer's two seasons have diverged completely from Doeren's, as the Orange won the Texas Bowl in his debut and then fell to 3-9 (1-7 ACC) in 2014. Heading into the always-critical year three, Shafer needs a big year.
Kliff Kingsbury, Texas Tech (12-13, 6-12 Big 12): They said there'd be a learning curve for Kingsbury's first two years as a head coach and, well, they were right. After winning his first seven games back home in Lubbock, Kingsbury closed the 2013 regular season by losing five straight before rebounding with an inspiring Holiday Bowl blowout of Arizona State. Perhaps the biggest head scratcher thus far has been at his signature position – quarterback – which has been a revolving door of injuries, inconsistent play and transfers.
Darrell Hazell, Purdue (4-20, 1-15 Big Ten): Hazell has won four games in two full seasons. The man Purdue fired to hire him, Danny Hope, won six in his final season. Needless to say, that's not the ratio Purdue had in mind.
Sonny Dykes, California (6-18, 3-15 Pac-12): Year one was a culture shock, for sure, though that's to be expected when moving from Ruston, La., to Berkeley. Year two was more of what one expects from a Sonny Dykes team, as the win total jumped by four and the overall competition level grew by leaps and bounds. As depth continues to improve, look for the Bears to break though to the postseason in 2015.
Mark Helfrich, Oregon (24-4, 15-3 Pac-12): Helfrich has filled the void left by Chip Kelly admirably, putting his stamp on the program while never once looking insecure in himself and his abilities. Now he gets to prove once again he can win without a brilliant talent, except this time it's the guy under center that's leaving.
Mike MacIntyre, Colorado (6-18, 1-17 Pac-12): Like Dykes, Mike Mac got off to a tough start but his team showed improvement last year.
Bret Bielema, Arkansas (10-15, 2-14 SEC): Never has a 2-14 mark looked more threatening. The Razorbacks posted back-to-back shutouts of LSU and Ole Miss and played Alabama, Mississippi State, Texas A&M and Missouri to within one score. As imposing as the Arkansas offense can be once the offensive line gets the backs running downhill, consider this stat: the Hogs allowed a total of 45 points in their final five games.
Butch Jones, Tennessee (12-13, 5-11 SEC): Tennessee may not quite be ready to play for an SEC championship in 2015, but the all-important narrative sees a wide-open SEC East and wonders why the Vols can't find their way to Atlanta. There's a lot of talent in Knoxville to be sure, but let's remember this is a roster that's 1-11 against ranked foes heading into this fall.
Gus Malzahn, Auburn (20-7, 11-5 SEC): The memorable run to the 2013 SEC championship and national title game (deservedly) grabs the top bullet point, but if I'm an Auburn fan it's the loss to Alabama last year that encourages me most. Malzahn proved he can walk into Tuscaloosa and put the Tide on its heels even when he's not throwing his best stuff. Now add a Will Muschamp defense to the mix and see what happens.
Mark Stoops (7-17, 2-14 SEC): Stoops and AD Mitch Barnhart have successfully upped the ante in recruiting, in facilities, and in overall attitude. Kentucky no longer behaves like a basketball school dallying in football, instead like a major athletics department that wants to be really good in both. After a season in which his Wildcats started 5-1 and ended 5-7, it's time Stoops' on-field product matches everything else.
Tommy Tuberville, Cincinnati (18-8, 13-3 American): This is right in line with what was expected when Tuberville abruptly left Texas Tech for Cincinnati, keeping the Bearcats in contention for conference titles while not bolting for a bigger program – yet. As for securing Cincinnati a spot in the ACC? Still waiting on that one.
Willie Taggart, South Florida (6-18, 5-11 American): What seemed like a perfect match on paper has not turned out that way in real life. A successful head coach, a talented recruiter with a magnetic personality that happens to be from the Tampa area taking over USF? What could be better? The Taggart era started with a stumble – a 53-21 loss to FCS McNeese State – and still hasn't found its footing.
Matt Rhule, Temple (8-16, 5-11 American): A near identical record as Taggart, but Rhule's two seasons have inspired a completely different feel. After a 2-10 debut, Temple posted a bowl-eligible 6-6 mark in 2014 with close losses to Navy, Memphis and Cincinnati while playing some of the country's best defense. The Owls are a team to watch in 2015.
Ron Caragher, San Jose State (9-15, 7-9 MW): Caragher took over a team that went 10-2 and cracked the top 25 the year prior, and has since seen the Spartans' win total drop to six and then three.
Brian Polian, Nevada (11-14, 7-9 MW): The running game is no longer among the top 10 in the nation, but Polian has kept the ship steady. A 4-8 debut season was answered with a 7-6 finish and a bowl trip in 2014.
Matt Wells, Utah State (19-9, 13-3 MW): Just imagine what this guy could do if he could get a quarterback to say healthy. After sharing a Mountain West title in year one, Wells won 10 games in 2014 while navigating a season in which he had to play four different quarterbacks. Heading to year three, though, the question will be if Wells can sustain that level of success with offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven gone for Oregon State and only the remains of Gary Andersen's recruits still in Logan.
Skip Holtz, Louisiana Tech (13-13, 10-6 C-USA): It may have not worked out at South Florida, but Holtz knows how to win in Conference USA. After winning C-USA titles in each of his final two seasons at East Carolina, Holtz jumped back into the league and claimed the C-USA West Division crown in year two at Louisiana Tech. Now, will his Bulldogs look like last year's 9-5 team or the 4-8 team of 2013 without defensive coordinator Manny Diaz leading a unit that produced an FBS-best 42 turnovers?
Sean Kugler, UTEP (9-16, 6-10 C-USA): Don't let the record fool you, Kugler has the Miners heading in the right direction. UTEP jumped five wins from 2013 to 2014 and held fourth quarter leads over Texas Tech and Western Kentucky last year.
Todd Monken, Southern Miss (4-20, 2-14 C-USA): How could arguably the nation's most consistent mid-major go through a stretch where it wins only two conference games in 24 tries? Did Larry Fedora forget to leave behind the answer key or something? Whatever the reason, Monken needs to find some answers in 2015.
Ron Turner, Florida International (5-19, 4-12 C-USA): What can we say? This was a curious hire by AD Pete Garcia at the time, and it hasn't looked much better in the two seasons since. Turner did bump the Panthers' win total by three from 2013 to 2014, but now he and his staff must deal with Charlie Partridge in the battle for South Florida's recruits.
Rod Carey, Northern Illinois (23-6, 15-1 MAC): Like Helfrich, Rod Carey has demonstrated how a passing-of-the-torch should go at a successful program. But unlike Helfrich, Carey has already posted an 11-win season and a conference championship without his franchise quarterback.
P.J. Fleck, Western Michigan (9-16, 7-9 MAC): Among coaches taking over struggling programs, no one in his hiring class has performed the reboot-and-reload better than Fleck. The first-time head coach sling-shot his Broncos from 1-11 in year one to 8-5 in year two, with eyes on the program's first bowl win in year three.
Paul Haynes, Kent State (6-17, 4-11 MAC): Kent State hasn't fared any better without Hazell than Hazell has without Kent State. Under a first-time head coach in Haynes, the Flashes have fallen from 11 wins in 2012 to four in 2013 and then two in 2014.
Doug Martin, New Mexico State (4-20, 1-7 Sun Belt): If there's one school on this list where a 4-20 beginning should be met with patience, patience and more patience, it's New Mexico State.
Trent Miles, Georgia State (1-23, 0-15 Sun Belt): It's hard to say where the problem lies, but heading into year three without an FBS victory was not part of the plan. Especially in the most talent-rich area of the conference and while another school with the same initials downstate already has more Sun Belt championships than Georgia State has Sun Belt victories.
Paul Petrino, Idaho (2-21, 1-7 Sun Belt): Perhaps we're biting more than we can chew in one paragraph but with Idaho – and perhaps the two preceding programs – perhaps the school should question if it's in the right subdivision before it questions if it has the right coaching staff.
Scott Satterfield, Appalachian State (11-13, 6-2 Sun Belt): Don't let what happened last season at Georgia Southern fool you, this is how an FBS transition is supposed to go. Improving from 4-8 in a farewell-to-FCS to a 6-2 Sun Belt debut is a great sign for Satterfield and his staff.
Nick Saban told a story about catching a 180 pound fish, and Twitter went bonkers
Down at the SEC meetings in Destin, Florida earlier today, Nick Saban opened up time in front of the press with a story about how he recently reeled in a fish that was six feet long and weighed about as much as he does at 180 pounds.
Saban lamented that the monster took them about an hour to reel in, which he believes is some kind of record.
The fun started once people started to tweet out that opening story because – in the name of good fun – the Twitterverse had apparently been waiting for a moment like this from Saban for years.

When there are about 100 days until college football kicks off again, this kind of stuff is highly entertaining.
#TakeASide: Should a new coordinator adopt your existing terminology, or bring his own?
While out on his off season speaking tour of Georgia, Mark Richt spent some time talking about his new offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer. Schottenheimer, who has nine years of coordinating experience in the NFL, takes over for Mike Bobo, who previously held the offensive coordinator title under Richt dating back to 2007, before taking the Colorado State head coaching job this past off season.
"Coach Schottenheimer has been hired to coordinate the offense, and call the game, so it's important for whoever is calling the game to have a comfort level with what he is about to say. One of the reasons we hired coach Schottenheimer is because, philosophically, he likes to do what we do and what we've been doing."
"We like to run the football, we like to play action pass, and we want to be able to spread it out and throw it as good as anyone in America," Richt explained. "We do have a few new things terminology wise, but concept wise it's almost identical."
Richt brings up a really good point about wanting his play caller to have a certain comfort level. But a lot of other head coaches in the profession believe in what lies on the other side of the coin; if you bring in a new coordinator, and decide to use the same terminology that you've used in the past, only one person (the new coordinator) has to learn a new system, and the other 50, or 70, or 100 guys on the roster don't have to learn a bunch of new terminology.
There are valid points to each side, so I'm going to ask you to pick a side, and defend your opinion in the comments below, or via Twitter (@CoachSamz). For the sake of the argument, let's assume you're bringing in a new coordinator after your previous one spent four seasons with you.
Side 1: The new coordinator adopts your previous terminology
In this situation, you decide on a new coordinator, and instead of having your entire team and coaching staff learn a new system, you have your new hire adopt your previous terminology and try to hit the ground running.
Pros: Your team and coaching staff retain a sense of consistency with the previous system.
Cons: Your play caller on game day has to learn a whole new system from what he's accustomed to.
Side 2: You allow your new coordinator to bring his own terminology and system
This is more along the Mark Richt train of thought. You want your coordinator to feel comfortable calling plays on game day, so you allow him to bring his own system, complete with his own set of concepts and terminology. This means that your coaching staff and your entire roster dig into a new playbook so that everyone can get on the same page.
Pro: The new coordinator has an immediate sense of comfort in his new surroundings and has a command for the system, which could really help with the learning curve with players and the staff.
Cons: Your coaching staff and entire roster have to get up to speed with a new system and new terminology, which could easily set you back a step or two from where you want to be.
There are a lot of other variables to consider (for example, you wouldn't bring in a proven guy like Will Muschamp and ask him to adopt your system), but at face value, where do you stand?
Over the next few weeks, we'll take a look at a number of issues like this that divide the coaching profession and get your input, and share it with the rest of the profession. Have an idea on the next issue we should tackle? Send suggestions to email@example.com or via twitter @CoachSamz.
In that #TakeASide question, I favor using the new coordinator's terminology & ensuring he can teach it in a way 20 year olds can learn it

@CoachSamz New OC's should bring/use their own system/terminology………if not, why hire them.
— Mike Burns (@coachmikeburns) May 26, 2015
@CoachSamz @FootballScoop easier for one to learn then 60 to learn. The new OC should do a majority of adapting and blend through time.
— Travis Hawk (@TravisHawk44) May 26, 2015
@FootballScoop You hire an OC/DC to fit the philosophy that the HC wants. I think they adapt the scheme and terminology to fit #takeaside
— Coach Fisher (@coachfisher_rp) May 27, 2015
@CoachSamz @FootballScoop I believe that an OC or DC should be allowed to bring in their own system, HC should hire similar philosophy

Idaho is one of the few places in the world where buyers can find several different classes of wheat in one place. Wheat class is determined by kernel hardness and color, and by its planting time. Each class of wheat has its own characteristics related to milling, baking and agronomic needs.Soft White Wheat (winter and spring): pastries, pancakes, cakes, cookies, crackers, flat breads, snack foods and cereals.Hard Red Wheat (winter and spring): yeast breads, hard rolls and bagels, Asian noodles, flat breads.Hard White Wheat (winter and spring): blended flours, Asian noodles, steam breads, domestic foods made with whole wheat.Durum: pastaIdaho wheat production is usually about 100 million bushels/year. Wheat production plays an important role in Idaho's economy. Wheat production creates jobs and income, not only in the production process, but also in transportation, storage, milling and input supply industries. The value of wheat production is close to $500 million and contributes over 8,500 jobs.

When you travel, have you used your hotel's Wi-Fi – maybe to pay a few bills or catch up on a report you need to read? You may want to think twice before logging in to accounts over hotel Wi-Fi. Hackers are using security vulnerabilities in hotel Wi-Fi to steal people's passwords and other sensitive information. Here's how it works: as a hotel guest, you try to get online using their Wi-Fi network and get a pop-up for a software update. But the network has been compromised. When you click to accept the download, you unknowingly load software designed to damage your computer or steal your information.
During your next hotel stay, consider whether you absolutely must share your login info over the Wi-Fi network. Weigh for yourself whether it's worth the risk. If you decide to use a public network, take precautions.

The long-awaited decision (oral argument was held on September 10, 2012) reversed in part and affirmed in part the district court's judgment invalidating the BiOp and remanding it to the Service.

Newtown may be close to its final selection for a new school superintendent. Five members of Newtown's Board of Education plan to head to Southington January 10 to conduct a site visit with that district's Superintendent Dr. Joseph V Erardi, Jr, who is a candidate for the top spot locally.
The Ladies Auxiliary of Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Co., has for years been called upon to offer aid to the members of its host company during emergencies. This week the group has stepped forward to help others affected by a fire.
The women have begun collecting items for the families who were displaced following a major fire in Shelton during the overnight of January 5–6. They are hoping that by offering a central donation point, Newtown residents will be able to offer aid to others as well.
HARTFORD (AP) — The state Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether police in Connecticut can withhold arrest reports from the public and just issue press releases instead, while prosecutions are pending.
Journalists are calling the case critical for reporters being able to get arrest reports quickly, and for the public's right to know how their police departments operate. Justices are set to hear the case Thursday.
This report has been updated since it was originally published with comments from state and federal officials.
The US Department of Education has announced it is awarding an additional $1.9 million to Newtown Public School District to help with ongoing recovery efforts following the tragic shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012.
On Monday morning, department heads at the C.H. Booth Library got to work sorting through materials on the first and second floor of the 1998 addition, where water damage from burst pipes Saturday afternoon, January 4, was evident in sodden carpeting throughout the affected areas, trash bags filled with water-logged paper supplies and ruined equipment, ceiling tiles on the floors, and the pervasive smell of dampened plaster.
Governor Dannel P. Malloy's calculated decision to make a public show of challenging unionized teachers two years ago still dogs the first-term Democratic governor as he prepares for a 2014 re-election he cannot win without support from organized labor.
Gov Malloy, who walked a picket line on the summer day he won the Democratic primary in 2010 and forcefully defended workers during a recent lockout at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, gets stellar reviews for many policies from key union leaders.
Besides leaving 10 inches of snow on the ground by Friday evening, Connecticut's first winter storm of 2014 also should test the state's new effort to control flying ice on its highways.
According to a new law that took effect last week, truck drivers could be fined up to $1,250 if accumulated ice dislodges and causes damage to a person or to another vehicle.
Workers from J.P. MaGuire Associates returned to the C.H. Booth Library on Main Street in Newtown, early Sunday morning, January 5, to continue damage control from flooding that occurred at the library Saturday afternoon, when pipes located above the second floor office of the director froze and burst.
C.H. Booth Library Acting Director Beryl Harrison reported Saturday afternoon, January 4, that sprinkler pipes above the second floor of the library apparently froze and broke, at approximately 3 pm, causing the ceiling to collapse in the director's office and tech services area of the second floor, as well as in the first floor children's department.
"No one was hurt," said Ms Harrison, though some staff members in the immediate area "got a little wet."
HARTFORD (AP) — Comptroller Kevin Lembo says the state of Connecticut is on track to end this fiscal year with a $273.3 million budget surplus.
In a letter to Governor Dannel P. Malloy, released on Thursday, Mr Lembo said the largest portion of the excess revenue stems from the state's recent tax amnesty program, which allowed people to pay off their back state taxes. However, Lembo said there are also positive trends developing in all overall state revenue.
The current fiscal year ends on June 30.

Curis Gets $3M From Genentech For Ovarian Cancer Trial Initiation
Luke Timmerman12/8/08
Follow @xconomy
Cambridge, MA-based Curis (NASDAQ: CRIS) said today it will receive a $3 million cash payment from its partner, Genentech (NYSE: DNA). The payment is due because Genentech is starting a clinical trial among patients with ovarian cancer. Researchers will look at 100 patients with the disease, taking either a placebo or GDC-0449, an oral pill made to block the action of the Hedgehog pathway, which is thought to be critical to the survival of cancer cells and their ability to resist chemotherapy.

If you read only one book on homosexuality, natural law theory, and the radical changes now being instituted within our culture, let it be this one!

Doctor Joseph Nicolosi says of Making Gay Okay: How Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior Is Changing Everything - "If you read only one book on homosexuality, natural law theory, and the radical changes now being instituted within our culture, let it be this one!"
The answers are in the dynamics of the rationalization of sexual misbehavior. The power of rationalization-the means by which one mentally transforms wrong into right-drives the gay rights movement, gives it its revolutionary character, and makes its advocates indefatigable. The homosexual cause moved naturally from a plea for tolerance to cultural conquest because the security of its rationalization requires universal acceptance. In other words, we all must say that the bad is good. The outcome of this dispute will have consequences that reach far beyond the issue at hand. Already America's major institutions have been transformed-its courts, its schools, its military, its civic institutions, and even its diplomacy. The further institutionalization of homosexuality will mean the triumph of force over reason, thus undermining the very foundations of the American Republic.

Losing Angel
Smoke billowed above the forest. A man stood in the center of the burning trees.
He stared down at his hand as the flames licked his fingers. Fire seared his skin, but the feeling of power that surged through him consumed the pain. His anger had caused the fire…fury that the little girl had escaped… fury that the stupid little boy standing outside the ring of fire had helped her.
But it didn't matter now. He would find another way. The power was worth it. The power was worth everything. He merely had to learn to control it.
And to make it permanent.
Fire twisted and danced around him. He held out his burning hand and concentrated. The flames on his skin snuffed out like a candle. Blackened tissue marred his forearm; heat gnarled his fingers. Anger boiled inside him once again.
But this time he funneled the emotion, and focused on the furnace surrounding him. The fire crackled, and swelled, and then a portion drew back. A gap opened up, forming a pathway out of the flames. The man smiled, cracking the crisp skin on his cheek. Just like parting the Red Sea.

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station's Offroad Vehicle Enforcement Team does more than just ticket wayward all-terrain vehicles and punish motoring scofflaws, said Sgt. Ron Olfert, who leads the unit locally.
Created in 2001 in response to hundreds of complaints annually of illegal off-highway vehicle activity, the team is made up of three sergeants and eight deputies who have extensive off-road riding experience and have undergone a rigorous 80-hour training program approved by the state of California. The team utilizes 10 dual-purpose motorcycles which are street legal but also quick and agile off road, Olfert said Friday.
"Basically, our mission is to enforce off highway vehicle laws and to repsond to complaints — but, beyond that, people will see us out on the bike paths sometimes in Canyon Country, (investigating reports when) people are drinking alcohol on the bike paths or people hanging out in these areas and smoking marijuana," said Sgt. Ron Olfert. "And we target that because we can get in and out of those areas very easily."
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The mission for Olfert's team is far from an easy one — they are often tasked with the exploration of the nook-and-cranny territory for more than 600 square miles of land — everything from National Forest Service lands near Gorman to undeveloped tracts of land west of Santa Clarita's borders.
Recently celebrating more tan a decade of enforcement, Olfert said right now is pretty much the group's busiest time of year.
"Between October and March or April, the weather's cooler and we get some rain so it's not as dusty," he said. "I have gotten several complaints (recently) of motorcycle riding — there's an area in Sand Canyon, kind of behind MacMillan Ranch — that now falls in city boundaries. It's illegal to ride back there because it's private property."
Olfert said his team encounters a lot of misconceptions about the laws, and there's still a lot of misunderstanding out there as far as what constitutes legal riding.
"People need to know, anywhere they look around the SCV, it's either private property or protected (public lands) and it's illegal to ride unless they have permission from the owners," he said.
"Probably, the most frequent violation we cite for is vehicle trespsassing," he said.
He said the team rarely gives warnings because the fine is aout $40 — not enough to bankrupt anyone, but enough to send a message that the rider shouldn't try it again.
However, more dangerous infractions, such as riding without a spark arrester, may result in a fine of up to $1,000, because the violation creates a major fire hazard in the Santa Clarita Valley, and it's illegal in all circumstances unless the person is taking part in a sanctioned race event.
There are a few areas nearby where off-road vehicle riding is encouraged, Drinkwater Flats, Rowher Flats and the Hungry Valley State Recreation Area — but nearly every other place you can see from city limits is illegal, unless the riding is on private property with the owner's express permission, he said.
There have been measurable results due to the team's efforts, Olfert said, adding that his team used to go out and patrol and cite 15-20 people every time out — citing approximately 500 people per year — a figure he's happy to report has gone down dramatically.
"It's illegal to ride an off-road vehicle on the road," Olfert said, "but it's kind of been a culture we've had to work on changing because people have been doing it for years."

Love Me For My Mind Not My Body
I am a pretty self sufficient person. I am a single mom of a 14 year old boy who loves to spend time with my family. I enjoy boating, the beach, the pool, exercising, watching my son play football, and sometimes just watching a movie and relaxing. I also love being spontaneous! I am very clean and constantly pick up after myself...I guess there's some OCD involved with that! I also love to laugh and love making people laugh. So if you can, try to keep up with my humor. I am very honest and sarcastic and really enjoy helping people. I am not a high maintenanced type of chick. I value people who work hard for what they have or are trying to get. You can not put a price tag on a hard working, goal oriented person! I am a registered nurse at a major hospital and will be starting the Family Nurse Practitioner program at UNF this fall! I am compassionate and have a habit of putting others' needs before my own. Not sure if that's always a good thing, but it's better than being selfish and self centered, right?! Also, if you are on here for some quick hook up trust me I am not the one. I will confront you about it too. I don't like liars and I don't have time for games. I will politely send you on your way and will wish you luck. I'm just being up front so I won't waste your time and vice versa.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Religion/Spiritual , Volunteering , Watching sports
Aerobics, Bowling, Football, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
Middle of the Road
My favorite place is anywhere with people that I enjoy. I don't have to be at an amusement park to have fun.
I really love Italian food. I want to learn some new recipes to try out. I do not eat out very often because I think it is healthier to eat at home and cooking is much more fun than sitting around waiting for your food to be brought to you!
I like going to football games, the beach, the movies sometimes and anything else that's active and fun and family centered.
My school book and the Bible.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Geoffrey D Guttmann, PhD (The Commonwealth Medical College)
Description: This comprehensive compendium of anatomical knowledge useful in clinical practice clearly shows many excellent clinical correlates to relevant anatomy. Like the previous edition, this edition uses a regional organization, but the book is now entirely in four colors and uses more diagnostic images to illustrate the clinical approach.
Purpose: This 40th edition definitively fulfills Henry Gray's initial aim "to describe the clinically relevant anatomy of the human body, particularly (but not exclusively) for the practicing surgeon" as stated by the editor-in-chief, Susan Standring. Features such as the use of full color and the addition of many more diagnostic images to support the application of anatomy to clinical practice makes this edition a fine completion of the editors' intentions initiated with the previous edition.
Audience: This is truly a long lasting reference well designed for clinicians, anatomists, or scientists with an abiding interest in anatomy, but it is also useful for any residents who would like to have a durable anatomical reference book. The editors are leading clinicians, anatomists, and scientists in their fields who have engaged an outstanding group of contributors to make this edition relevant for practicing clinicians.
Features: The opening sections cover cells, tissues and systems, embryogenesis, and neuroanatomy. The remaining sections describe the regional organization of the body starting with the head and neck and moving through the body to the lower limb. Within each section, where the pages have color-coded edges, chapters cover the development of the organ system relevant to the region. A significant number of subsections discuss clinical conditions, using radiological images and illustrations to further demonstrate these conditions. For example, one may look at chapter 22, on the basal ganglia, and review the subsection on "Pathophysiology of Basal Ganglia Disorders" to learn more about Parkinson's disease and see MRIs showing the placement of deep brain stimulating electrodes in the subthalamic or pedunculopontine nucleus. The 86-page index is both a boon and a bane. It is a help in navigating the book because it is extensive and complete, but it still needs some editing, as seen by the listing of sacrospinous twice under "ligament (named)" and the improper page number associated with the medial palpebral ligament.
Assessment: As an anatomist, I'd call this is a must-have book. As one with clinical experience, I'd buy this edition to keep as an up-to-date anatomical reference compendium. The 40th edition is complete and concise in covering all anatomy, and relevant to clinical practice without becoming unwieldy.

Republican Tom Foley conceded the race for Connecticut governor to Democrat Dan Malloy , saying he wouldn't challenge Nov. 2 voting irregularities in Bridgeport, the state's biggest city.
Connecticut 's next governor remains undetermined as the state's election chief awaits the Nov. 2 vote count from Bridgeport , the state's most-populous city.
"Governor Malloy won this election with fewer votes than we won in 2010."
