Star Jones
You know you can catch Star Sunday nights on "Celebrity Apprentice," but she will also be on a few talk shows this week, including "The Talk" on Monday and "The Wendy Williams Show" on Friday. There's been no word on whether she'll visit her former co-hosts at "The View."

OMG, I'm about the do the crunchiest thing I've ever done: I'm going to switch from an OB to a midwife. Craaazy. Haha. If any of you are Northern Washington locals, I'd LOVE some ideas and recommendations for midwives in the area. There seem to be a ton to choose from and I'm way overwhelmed.
I'm not actually very crunchy at all, so I don't need a super-crunch midwife. I just want to survive birth (this is my first) with my lovely, functional, continent vagina & perineum intact (i.e., I'm terrified of tearing!!). I've read some great studies showing that working with a midwife is a great way to accomplish that. I'd also love to hear some experiences with midwives, if you want to share! Guess I'm greedy for info-- and I just joined. Tsk tsk tsk.
Thanks WA ladies!
P.S. Sorry for referring to my perineum as lovely. Upon re-read, I realize that might not be the 100% truth, haha!
I'm interested in hearing recommendations/experiences too! So far I've narrowed it down to just the women who have privileges at the Bellingham Birth Center because that's where I'd like to give birth. Here's a list of all those midwives:
I'm meeting with Ann Tive and Jessie Bradley tomorrow and I'm meeting with Allison Watkins on Thursday and I'll probably meet a couple more before making a decision. Allison was really nice on the phone but that's about all I can say so far!
It's been a while since I've lived over there but I had the most amazing midwife ever for my first baby: Charlotte! She's been practicing midwifery since 1987 and works out of several birth centers and comes to your home if you'd like and it looks like she still does.
Her site says she covers Everett, Arlington, Camano Island, Stanwood, Mt. Vernon, and the Greater Seattle Area.
She also had permissions to stay with you at several area Hospitals should the need arise.
I adored her and if we still lived on the west side of Washington I would have continued to work with her. It was absolutely amazing. She was wonderful at talking with us as intelligent adults (we were 20 and 22 at the time), asking us what we wanted and making us feel very comfortable. She knew a lot and certainly had her own opinions on lots of things but kept everything to the basics: homebirth without interference unless medically and immediately necessary, breastfeeding if possible. I even tore with DD1 (she came really fast) just the tiniest bit and she just stitched me back up, neat and tidy, hardly felt a thing.
I think you'll find them to be wonderful, practical, loving, helpful and amazing people! I Hope you find the perfect person for you!
Farming mama to DD1 (10/18/07), DD2 (10/3/09) who are always DS born 8.21.14 and wife to loving hubby (6/23/2007).

Thank You BigDog, Cannonshot, Docking Pilot...
...Dingweed, 10Cup, Byways and everybody else who shared their CDR knowledge and experience on this forum. You each contributed to my decision to try the route, which we just completed last week. Probably the best ride I've attempted so far.
I have been on many memorable motorcycle adventures aboard my KTM twin, but I thought I'd need something smaller as I expected to be solo. My twin is all I can do to lift after flopping it, so last January I bought a little Yamaha from an inmate here.
After re-reading all the WR250 tips posted, I set about doing the appropriate mods for such an endeavor. These mods were mostly about improving comfort, fuel range and safety. Last on my list was learning how to use the Garmin 60Csx with Cannonshot's Tracks. It took me two days of navigatiing the CDR to figure it out. Now I'm pretty dense with these fancy gizmo's, but I thoroughly enjoyed my personal Garmin 'revelation' long about 'The Parting of the Ways'... Such a sweet victory
This is not a ride report in the classic sense. It is just a pictorial thanks to those here who contributed to my discovery of this great ride. It is such a gift! Those that have run the route will relate, while those that have not might try it some day
As an additional gift for me, a childhood friend decided to join me on this ride aboard his KLR. He trailered from CA, while I shipped my WR from Boston to Salt Lake, where we met up for our ride through history.
Steve and I have shared most of our various escapades for about fifty years, so it was special to share this one too. We've seen a lot of water pass under the bridge together. Lots of water...
Since the CDR has been so thoroughly covered here these past two seasons, I'll just post up a few pics, of which most should be quite familiar to you.
Picking up the WR at the SLC Terminal. $541 from Boston and took 8 days:
The weather was fantastic and the colors were high:
You know these roads well. They were mostly 35-60mph and well maintained:
Docking Pilot and 10Cup helped us find some history. Also thanks to Byways!
A few more miles down that historical trail:
South Pass (the real one) is the low in the skyline just left of the hillock. In the middleground, you can see the old Oregon Trail heading towards the pass:
Another famous landmark looked for by the pioneers:
One of nine notorious wagon crossings of the Sweetwater River between South Pass and Lander:
Another Sweetwater crossing:
The 'Big Empty', Riverview Cutoff Road. Maybe 190 miles between gas. Lots of big game through here. Big herds of Antelope and even Elk:
And suddenly the landscape changed! You'll know this place:
Colorado is loaded with beaver dams! I wonder if beaver hats come back?
Of course, everybody knows this little crossing. We angst about it for a few hours, when I suddenly rounded a turn going too fast and barely stopped in time using all my front brake! Turned out to be a breeze and we could have blasted it. Good bottom with maybe a little hole or two in the middle/near side. That's why a 21 inch front wheel is nice. Also, it's good to have Steve along for these things because he likes to go first when encountering a potential hazard :
After such encounters he's entitled to a little ...And I do my part too
More in a minute. I should load these before I lose them.

There was a section of forest service road closed to us between Colorado 134 and the Colorado River Crossing at Radium. This was not the fake closures by loggers that we simply rode through. This one had the road entrance removed from access at Hwy 134. We tried walking through it to find a path but no soap.
Not wanting to miss the Colorado river crossing, we slabbed it to Kremmling so we could ride down CR 1 to the Radium Bridge, see the river, and come back out the same way. Turns out not to be such such a detour so it worked out:
High above the Colorado River from a view point on CR1:
That's the Southern Pacific road bed down there alongside the CO river:
The town of Radium as photographed from the little bridge crossing the river. You can see the SP tracks right in front:
Not sure what Radium is for. There is a campground there and the fly fishermen were there in force:
It was on that little Radium Bridge we encountered our first instance of...ahem...uh...er...bike trouble.
I won't go into it, but it all worked out with barely an hour's delay.
Boreas Pass and its narrow gage depot. Amazing what they did back in the day...and why:
The pass was quite rough and narrow up there for a short section, and the pick'em'up trucks gave us no room from the cliffside edge. Steve almost caught a side mirror in the chest fer chrissakes... I guess those people own the road. It was nice and wide here, though:
Descending from Boreas Pass into Como:
We were hungry and tired. We roll into the dirt road micro town of Como and shock! A sign with an arrow pointed out an old RR Depot building advertising a "Pub", "Great Food"...and "Very Nice Rooms". I slammed on my brakes and Steve slid up alongside and asked what I thought... I thought the sign looked good... What a treat the Como Depot B&B turned out to be! And by dinner/drinking hour, they were buzzing too!
So we walked in and there she was in all her glory! Moya her ownself, fresh from Berkeley : As we say in Beantown, Moya is a hot ticket... She joined us sipping her glass of wine and chatted us up for our fun. We had the fun and in a flash she was off..
Lets go check our room:
David and Moya own the place and are steadily restoring it. We were lucky we got a room because its a big time stop for the CDT bicyclists coming down from Canada. They have an excellent staff and their facilities are terrifically genuine. www.comodepot.com. They really picked up at the dinner hour so don't be late! Get this: room with 2 queen beds and breakfast for 2; $89. No continental breakast eaither. Made to order for sitting down at the time you pick...and don't be late!
I better load this stuff. Back in a minute

The ride south out of Como was pretty special. It starts out a plain, but then rises into the mountains guarding Salida like a fortress. On the way through we saw plenty of dashed dreams from the early settlers:
Past Salida, we did a short blast towrds Poncha Pass and picked up the road over Marshall Pass. Lots of quads along there:
It was on the next dirt section after Marshall Pass we had our second bike issue. Caked air filter:
Waddawegunnado now? No problemo for Captain McGiver... he whips out his camp stove and cleans his filter with white gass. Then he dug up some spare oil from the depths of his talibag and presto! Instant horsepoweR with an H...
Its a good thing too...
The ride into the dirt road microtown of La Garita was spectacular. It was a miles long boxlike canyon right out of Butch Cassidy:
The La Garita gas and cafe must've had these guys on the payroll:
The next section was our last day on the CDR together. At Chama, Steve went east to Taos and I went west to Cave Creek, AZ. In many ways this section was the best and the hardest. We climbed high ridglines and down the other side time after time. The roads were mostly rough with big babyheads. They were fast enough to catch you out and slow enough to irritate.
The roads we traversed were beautiful and never before had Colorado seemed such a vertical landscape:
Along this route Steve spied a jeep trail that looked to top out on a mountain. A big one not so far above us. We talked it over and true to form, he led me up the mountain on rocky 2 track.
Steve seemed to motor right up with his loaded KLR, while I was taking my time picking my way through the rocks. Still, the little WR seemed pretty capable and the front rolled over the worst easy enough. I had trouble at our first switchback. Like most you have also encountered on such roads, the switch is most heavy with roller rocks and there is no room to manuever. I was slipping my clutch to make the uphill turn and kept thinking about Dingweed losing his clutch in the NM mud. Anyways, she kept on going and I made it easy enough to the next switchback. I stopped there and got the bike turned in the flat section the jeeps use to make their V turn. I waited for Steve to come down and eventually he did and full of smiles. A little more was in order and so was my
My GPS says my top was 12,361 feet. The view was something to see:
Steve's top was two more switchbacks above me he said was 12,600 feet. The view was the top of the world for 360 degrees.
The ride down seemed like nothing, so it couldn't have been that steep a grade. I could just roll over the boulders with nary an upset once. Oh well, I had my chance at finally getting to the top and muffed it...
Not really, though. Steve often tops when we are faced with physical risk challenges. Afterall, there isn't much left to discover about ourselves after fifty years of sharing! It's a good thing always.
So that was the end of it for us. It was a great ride and I'd like to try it again from the south up. I'd also like to try Docking Pilot's tracks through Dinosaur Park and camp at Echo Canyon. Maybe try his Union Pacific trail to Promentory Point.
Thanks again to everybody who shared their work with the rest of us. It made for a memorable trip we won't forget.
Our best to you all

Your welcome
Boy---sounds like and looks like you guys had a great time and a great ride.
I'll never forget----it was 2003 I think----I read an article in American Motorcyclists magazine about this thing
they call the continental divide route---never heard of it.
It was written by Clement Salvadori----world famous adventure traveler.
He said it was the best ride he had ever taken---and it was right here in the good ole' USA.
I was astounded that this man who has ridden all over the earth saying it was his best ride ever.
I don't think there were any gps tracks floating around at that time------until I found them on the bicyclists website.
I put that into a route I could follow on my old Garmin gps III and rode it the next year---and I recorded my gps tracks
and dropped lots of waypoints for stuff-----and hundreds have ridden it since.
I got a lot of my routing info from the bicyclists book "Cycling The Great Divide"-------I still got that booked and it's all
marked up and highlighted on every page.
The rest is history and one of the best motorcycling memories I have.
And---thanks for the thanks-----really something special to share.
Now I'm waiting for someone to ride the new--------" Mexico to Canada" route me and Dingweed created that is West of the CDR. To this day I know of
no one who has tried it since we rode it in 2010---the tracks were in that ride report---that ride is not big bike friendly--in fact all of it couldn't
be done on a big bike-----quite a bit of it you'd need a plated dirt bike.
You guys ought to be the first.

Ha Ha Ha...Mark, you are the source for us, so thanks again for your sharing. I assure you I will try parts of your AZ-Canada trail. Just not sure I will go end to end like you and Dingweed! I mean I would have to live in AZ to try that ...or be retired. The latter sounds promissing, though.
But you give us a peep at the possibilities for our dreams and the means to execute them. Thanks, Mang...

Steve's Pics
Steve sent me a CD with his pics. I thought I'd load them up.
Taking a snap of an Oregon Trail marker just east of the Sublette Cutoff. The road to the right is the McCann Ranch road running north.
This is the same spot looking west down the Oregon Trail. This part had quite a few soft spots all the way west to Farson. I imagine the mud could get pretty bad:
About half way between Farson and Atlantic City there is a turnout on HWY 28 with a view of the actual South Pass. This pic is standing on that turnout. South Pass is the low on the horizon left of the hill. In the foreground you can see a trail heading generally towards the Pass. I rode south off the turnout and picked up that trail. It turned out to be the Oregon Trail so we followed it east towards the Sweetwater River.
Steve at the Twin Mounds. There were lots of markers along the Oregon Trail through here. We didn't have tracks for it and it was generally a collection of routes rather than one road. We generally stayed on the path that looked most travelled and it generally worked.
This is the Trail looking east. We are nearing the Sweetwater river. We had to get permission to stay on the Trail as it crossed a private ranch. Not too many miles past here we got lost and ended up bushwacking due east along a fence. We knew the Riverview Cutoff wasn't too far ahead but we were too far down the road to back track. Pretty soon we could see the Cutoff, but there was another fence. Fortunately there was a gate so after scouting a pasture, we cut through a herd of cattle and were on our way to Rawlins across the Big Empty:

Last Pics
Coming down from one of the passes. I think this is Marshall Pass
I am pretty sure this is a Superfund site high in the Rockies of southern CO. There was a massive mine there at one time. That water is a series of reservoirs created by beaver dams. We saw beaver dams everywhere. They made quite a comeback.
This is a natural mountan. The color is from the metals leeching I think.
We came across plenty of random things...
Steve sent me some vids too, but I don't know how to post them. The best is him taking a 360 vid from the top of Greyback Mountain. 12,612 feet up.
It was a great trip. Everybody should do it at least once.

@jharri74† Yes, that's the shortcode within DMS, not the shortcode for the Accordions Section. Glad you got it sorted.

Hi Ellen,
@ellenmva Using the accordions and having a bit of trouble isolating some of the css for color and border-radius.
Three things...
1. Within an actual section added to a page... the color works fine.
When I use the shortcode I cannot set the color. See this link: http://bit.ly/1mkP5xi (shortcode is in the tab loans)
I would rather not change all accordions to one color in CSS (as I have some color changes on individual pages) see here: http://bit.ly/1niW9uB
2. I was able to change the overall border radius to 10px however, in the shortcode it does not work.
3. Using Font awesome.... the closing selector gets activated on only some of the accordions in the calculator on this page : http://bit.ly/1niW9uB (I have it set not to use the open close selector) Did not want it to show up just the icon.
I'm not isolating the correct css..
Please advise.

@alisamski† I like the way you are using Accordions. I am working on an update that will make it easier to style. That's a little ways off though so let's see if we can get things working right for you.
1 & 2. For the shortcode, try targeting the styling with the accordion id like so:
.accordion-heading.ac432033324-consumer-loans { background: #000000 !important; border-radius: 10px; }
Right now you need to put the important in to override the background color (that's one of the things I'm working on in the update, not to need the !important).
Each accordion has a class along with .accordion-heading, so the one for Auto Loans is .accordion-heading.ac432033324-auto-loans
3. I'll need to look into the font-awesome issue so that it only puts the closing icon if the opening icon is used, not any other icon. Probably just a quick fix in the section. Will let you know when update with fix is available, should be next day or two.
Let me know if the css works.
Posted 11 July 2014 - 01:34 PM
That CSS does not seem to work....
Posted 11 July 2014 - 01:42 PM
@alisamski† I'm not seeing it when I look at http://devweb.coreplus.org/rates/. Can you publish the page so I can see what the css is doing?
Posted 11 July 2014 - 01:46 PM
Can you see now? I've published it...
and I'm still not seeing it...
I've checked the backend in Pagelines LESS and the code is there.
Posted 11 July 2014 - 02:12 PM
@alisamski† Ah, I see the problem. The accordion group number is changing because it is random. To fix that, in your accordion shortcode we are going to give the set of accordions a name by adding accordions_id="loans" So your shortcode would look like (may have more to it as well)
[accordions accordion_set="your_accordion_set" accordions_id="loans" accordion_hash="slug"]
Then target the accordion with .accordion-heading.acloans--consumer-loans (see how the number is replaced with acloans.
Let me know if that works.
Sorry for the trouble.
Posted 11 July 2014 - 02:22 PM
Will try that. and report back... thanks
Posted 11 July 2014 - 02:33 PM
So a bit of tweaking... this is how the css looks and is working!... needed to add the id "number" not name... thank you!
.accordion-heading.ac3-consumer-loans {
background: #e2db6a !important;
border-radius: 10px;
.accordion-heading.ac3-auto-loans {
background: #e2db6a !important;
border-radius: 10px;
.accordion-heading.ac3-home-equity-loan {
background: #e2db6a !important;
border-radius: 10px;
Posted 11 July 2014 - 02:35 PM
@alisamski† Super! I'll work on the icon fix and let you know when the update is ready.
Posted 06 January 2015 - 08:13 PM
Hello, I've put the accordion shortcode in a page but each accordion set is NOT getting its own class. See link.
I'd like to give each Menu set its own background image like the attached. Is this possible? Thanks.
Posted 06 January 2015 - 08:26 PM
Sorry, I changed the permalink. here is updated link: http://www.jayharry....nt01/full-menu/
Posted 09 January 2015 - 03:41 PM
@jharri74† What is the shortcode you are using? Doesn't seem to be picking up any styles for the accordion set.
Posted 09 January 2015 - 04:15 PM
HI Ellen, I should've updated this but my quesions was anwsered the other day by Danny.
I was using:
and he suggested (which worked) using this css:
For example:
// This maintains the collapse area as a white background
Posted 09 January 2015 - 05:03 PM Best Answer
@jharri74† Yes, that's the shortcode within DMS, not the shortcode for the Accordions Section. Glad you got it sorted.
Posted 09 January 2015 - 05:33 PM
thanks. Sorry but whats the difference (if you have time to explain)?
Posted 09 January 2015 - 06:41 PM
@jharri74† not a problem. I hated working with the shortcode that PageLines had for creating accordions so I created a section where each accordion is a post (Accordions post type) and then accordions are grouped together in accordion sets (a custom taxonomy) and displayed on pages using the Accordions Section.
I need to update my website, didn't realize so out of date (the last site worked on is always your own), but this shows Accordions and different accordion sets as sections on the page and as a sidebar widget.
You can also insert accordion sets using a shortcode, that's what I thought you were referring to.
Let me know if any more questions.
Posted 14 January 2015 - 06:18 AM
oh ok. thank you. I understand now
Posted 17 February 2015 - 01:08 AM
Hello Ellen,
I am trying to do the same as jharri but with the Accordion Section (which I love!)
I've read the threads relative to putting diferent colors to different tabs, but I am not being able to put an image instead of color.
This is the url I am working on: http://patriciacangas.com/ux-projects/
Thank you in advanced.

Lance Easley, the replacement referee who became famous after calling a controversial touchdown in favor of the Seattle Seahawks, in a game against the Green Bay Packers last season, made an appearance at Richard Sherman's Celebrity charity softball game on Sunday. Golden Tate, the player who caught the controversial touchdown, met up with his alleged co-conspirator at the game , and reminisced about the incident solely responsible for getting regular referees their jobs back. "We talked about it a little bit," Tate told Q13 Fox TV. "He told me how much his life has changed. It sounds like he's keeping a positive attitude, regardless of all the negativity." Easley, was asked by Sherman to umpire the charity softball game which uses part of the proceeds to build homes for injured veterans, and since he's a former marine, he couldn't say no. "I'm here for charity, and I would do the same for [Packers] charities," he said, according to the The (Everett) Herald. "I have no ill will against any team, I'm not a Seahawk fan, I'm not a Green Bay fan. I stopped being a fan years ago. The now retired referee, said that he believes the call he made on the night of September 24th, was the right call even after all the controversy. "I made a call, it was a correct call — even though Green Bay fans will never say it's correct — it was a difficult call, and it was one you just don't want. As an official you want black-and-white calls, you don't want gray calls, and that was a gray call that you had to be involved in and make it within a couple of seconds," he said, according to The Herald.

Tick tock, the Lebanese marriage clock.
BEIRUT: When Dana decided at 22 that she wanted to get married to the boyfriend she had met at university, her friends and family told her it was too soon.
Now 28 and still single, she is considered to have been left behind, watching the majority of her friends get engaged or married.
The eight-year relationship, only recently ended, faced strains familiar to many Lebanese, as her boyfriend left the country to pursue his career in the United States, and the pressure of their different religious backgrounds meant her family found the relationship difficult to accept.
"You have all the family, the uncles, they all play a part in the decision," she says. "It's not like outside where you make the decision."
Many Lebanese women, particularly those in their late 20s and early 30s, face a bind: expected to get married by a certain age to an eligible man in a country that so many men leave.
"There was a point when they started to feel 'I need to get married now,'" says Dana. "That was around 26, 27. At 28, it's over."
"For my age, I should be dating seriously, and expecting to get married, and that should be made clear to him," says 28-year-old Mona, who lives in Beirut. These expectations are passed through society, particularly from family members.
"Personally, I'm so happy, I don't have time to date," she says. "My family wants me to be happy, [which means] they want me to be in love, of course. All the messages I received for my birthday were 'we wish you love.' All the messages. I mean success, you have, amazing, great, but love ..."
"You have to get married and have kids within one or two years," says Dana. "When you're done with the marriage thing, it's the baby. And when you're done with one baby, it's another."
"If you don't get married, you are considered to have failed one of the main purposes of life," says Mona.
It's not just about getting married though, says Michael Oghia, a master's candidate at the American University of Beirut whose thesis looks at dating in Lebanon. Like Dana, for many young men, and even more so for women, it's also about finding someone that fits the 'right' conditions.
"They have to be Sunni, or Shiite, or Christian. They have to be from this village, or this part of Lebanon. And they have to have this much money," he says. "And it's especially hard if you're a girl. I hate the double standard but it's true."
The problem is further compounded, Oghia says, by the fact that there are few avenues by which to meet people.
"Work, school and family are pretty much the places where you meet. Maybe if you're Christian through church," he says.
"Which I think for a lot of people is a hindrance, because well what if I go to work in the same place every day, what if I've had the same friends for 10 years, what if my family don't know anyone that's eligible? Well, you're kind of in a bind."
"I really pity someone that's older especially, and that's single, because where are you meeting somebody?" he says.
The social pressure on women to be married by a certain age, coupled with the lack of chances to meet somebody, and lack of eligible people to meet can result in some extreme behavior, say Mona and Dana.
"If he is the right target she will never let him go, until he is hooked and he says OK," says Mona.
"With some girls, if they find the right guy, they are always on him," says Dana. "They call him like 15,000 times, send pictures and so on. Because there are lots more girls than men. So they don't give him time to think about someone else."
The Internet, social media in particular, is playing a large part in opening up new ways to meet people, allowing for recommendations by friends and enabling introductions with those who might be abroad.
"Guys come here on vacation, so the two meet through friends or family, and then they talk here once or twice, and then they travel again. Then he can add her on Facebook or MSN," says Dana. "On Skype, you can talk for hours. I have lots of friends who do things this way."
Both Mona and Dana feel the pressure to get married to the 'right' person is skewing young people's expectations of relationships.
"I think people would have healthier relationships if they didn't have the pressure," says Mona. She says this has much to do with the normalcy with which cheating is treated.
"They just get married because they have to get married," she says.
"When you're 30 your clock is ticking, you have to get married, that's the thing."
"There are not enough people with all of the things people are looking for," Dana says. "You have to compromise. Maybe it's not what you expected, but it could be better."
"In the end it all comes back to who are you marrying and how is it going to help our family?" says Oghia. "Because there's no social support in Lebanon. If you don't have a viable family, you're screwed, that's why dating is so contentious. Marriage in Lebanon is not about happiness, it's about pragmatism."
Oghia believes people's expectations are changing when it comes to what they want from a relationship, but that this is not necessarily making the situation less complicated.
"It's fine if you want to find someone from your religion, your family background, but why do you have to sacrifice this companionship aspect of marriage that's completely overlooked," he says.
"People just think, 'I'm going to get married and everything is going to be perfect.' But people are starting to ask these questions? Why do I have to wait for after marriage to be in love?"

New research has found that young white homosexual men may have an important contribution in the local spread of HIV.
Researchers from Ghent University in Belgium compared the genetic information of viruses isolated from more than 500 patients — male and female, homosexual and heterosexual, Caucasian and non-Caucasian — who were newly diagnosed at an HIV-screening clinic between 2001 and 2009.
"Clusters of viruses are indicative for the local onward transmission of this particular viral strain," Dr Chris Verhofstede said.
"We also found that clustered viruses are more frequently isolated from young Caucasian men who have sex with men and who have a high prevalence of other sexually transmitted diseases," he said.
This means a significant number of new HIV infections in the region occur as a result of high-risk behaviour among young white homosexual men.

[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
When the season began there was little doubt who the Phoenix Suns best players were supposed to be, but as the season has progressed there have been others who have stepped up their game.
One of them, without question, has been 16 year veteran back-up center Jermaine O'Neal.
He has had a resurgence for the Suns as most veterans seem to do with the great training staff here. That and his loyalty to the team that gave him another chance are the reasons why O'Neal has publicly stated he would like to remain with the team for the rest of the season.
Jermaine O'Neal tells ESPN that he is staying with Suns and NOT seeking contract buyout. More to come shortly
That is loyalty coming from a player that is coveted by contenders to solidify their chances for a title.
Time will tell whether or not the Suns have the same feelings towards O'Neal. As the roster stands today, the team has 15 total players on the roster including recently acquired center Hamed Haddadi and tweener forward Marcus Morris. Will Jermaine make the cut?
Everyone's going to talk about the rotation now, which is a mishmash of disparate parts to be sure.
The Suns now have too many of the same kind of player, so basically its just up to head coach Lindsey Hunter to give people trials. That means playing some guys for a week or two, then moving onto someone else.
You can't look at today's roster (below) and project the same minutes for guys in each game the rest of the year. It's going to be a moving target on the lineup each night.
Notice I used the term 'wing' because I believe the wings are interchangeable, depending on who's on the floor together. They can switch on defense to match the opposition.
In fact, on the whole roster, there's only 3 guys (Kendall Marshall, Marcin Gortat, Hamed Haddadi) who can only really play one position, but even that gets muddled. O'Neal and Gortat have played time together - who knows who the center is at that point.
But everyone else can switch around: Goran Dragic and Diante Garrett can be PG or SG, all the wings can be either SG or SF, Marcus Morris and Michael Beasley can both be SF or PF, and Luis Scola and Markieff Morris can be either PF or C.
That's what Hunter will have to do. Play 9 or 10 of the 14 guys each night, mixing and matching lineups for evaluation. I don't see anyone playing every single game from here on out. Even Dragic, Dudley and Gortat will be more and more likely to sit in the season's final weeks if Hunter really wants to see other guys.
Let's look at summer.
The Suns have two first round picks, theirs and the Lakers (or maybe the Heat's), plus Denver's second round pick. That's likely a top-5 pick and a #14 pick, plus one in the 40s.
Here's the guaranteed salaries.
It adds up to:
They will have 12 players on guaranteed (or partially guaranteed) contracts for $50.9 million dollars.
As you can see, the Suns will have about $9 million to spend on free agents AFTER counting the rookie cap holds but before picking up the salaries of non-guaranteed players (P.J. Tucker, Hamed Haddadi) or qualifying offers (Diante Garrett). Marshall and Morris*2 have already been guaranteed for next season.
And, this does not include more trades of current players.
If the Suns release someone and use the 'stretch' provision, they can have more money available. In the right-hand column, I comment on remaining years and whether a player can be "stretched" if released.
The big "IF" here is Shannon Brown. Since he has not been moved or released, the figures above assume the Suns keep him on the roster. If they release him, his cap number drops by $3 million because they use the "stretch" provision to spread the $1.75 million guaranteed over 3 years instead of one. If they don't use the "stretch", then the cap hold is $1.75.
So, Brown is the difference between $9 million available and $12 million available. Expect the Suns to wait until the last possible moment to decide what to do here. Look at the roster: not a single other real SG besides Brown.
The other guys the Suns could "stretch" upon release are Goran Dragic or Michael Beasley. Every other player is either on a rookie or non-guaranteed contract, or was signed under the prior CBA which prohibits them from being "stretched".
That's where we are, fans.
You could make the case that adding a $9-12 salaried free agent PLUS two lottery picks to a supporting cast of Gortat, Dudley, Dragic and the others can propel this team right back into playoff consideration.
Or, you can say the Suns still have a LOT of work to do to change out those 12 returning players.

SANANTONIO -- University of the Incarnate Word officials are refusing to release documents outlining its police department's standard operating procedures.
The denial comes while a UIW officer remains on administrative leave after he shot and killed senior student Cameron Redus, of Baytown, following a traffic stop Dec. 6.
In an open letter posted Wednesday in an online edition of UIW's school newspaper, the university's president, Dr. Lou Agnese, assured students that the school is assisting Alamo Heights police and the Texas Rangers in every way possible.
Alamo Heights Police Chief Richard Pruitt said Dec. 9 he was not completely comfortable with how information was being shared between the school and his department.
A police spokeswoman told the I-Team on Thursday that the university eventually did hand over a copy of its policies and procedures, but she would not say when or why there was a delay.
In Agnese's open letter, he also said he hoped to sit down with the Redus family at some point.

very solid first post. And like pijus said, study study study.
I notice that there are only digital paintings, so i would recommend doing pencil/marker drawings as well.
Do studies from photos, real life, artists that you like etc.
Then apply what you learn from the studies, to your imaginative work.
Keep updating and have fun

Pretty good work in here, dude!
One thing I can comment on: you seem to be using really low opacity brushes, and it sort of gives it a scribbley look. This is because of a lack of confidence. Don't be afraid to sit down, find the RIGHT color, and then just plop it down. You may not find the right color in the first try, but just adjust the mix, and lay it down again in a large confidant shape.
Keep up the work dude!

Wabbit, you have some wild imagination. Some of your digi paintings are just out of this world! I love it. Good work on the digital, I think your anatomy studies are good too. Just a suggestion, maybe you could improve by working on smoothing out your lines and a little bit more. Keep up the awesome work. I enjoy your sketchbook! I'm working on more stuff for mine!

GW celebrates the heaviest of the heavy—from "Revolution Is My Name" to "This Love."
Plan ahead and give your dad the coolest gift this year!
In the latest Cracking the Code, Troy Grady tackles the puzzle of pentatonic fours.
Next up is a B fully diminished seventh (over E7b9) with notes from the B half-whole scale thrown in for some percussive and melodic flavor. Finally, I end on what I would barely call an altered E dominant seventh, over which I actually play an A whole-half scale, before finally ending the entire thing on E.
There are only a handful of individuals who have pioneered the way music is played on the guitar, yet you would need more than both of your hands to count the number who follow in their footsteps. In fact, it may even become common practice to do so. Let's take the classic model provided by Jimi Hendrix. The man undisputedly wrote the book on modern guitar playing, and we'd all be lying if we denied taking a page out of Jimi's book every time we wrote a riff or lick.
One aspect I've noticed many players overlook in their quest for "ultimate shred-dom" is the ability to control their instrument. I'm all about blazing through scales and sweeping like hell, but a gratuitous display of such can compromise the melodic development of a line. And when we're programmed to simply run up and down patterns while taking a solo, our lack of control can get the better of us when we run into speed bumps (pun -- sort of intended).

Jordan Oddly Unenthusiastic About Hosting Obama's Terrorist Training Camps
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On July 19, 2014 @ 2:52 pm In The Point | 4 Comments
I don't know what's wrong. Maybe it's the fact that Jordan's king is barely clinging to power. It might be the threats from ISIS to overrun Jordan and kill the king. But King Hussein (the other one) seems unenthusiastic about King Hussein's plan to train terrorists in his country [2].
Jordan, where the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has been covertly training Syrian rebels for more than a year, is reluctant to host an expanded rebel instruction program, U.S. officials said.
Jordan's reticence, confirmed by four U.S. officials, is a potentially serious setback for President Barack Obama's proposed $500 million initiative, announced in June, to train and arm moderate rebels fighting the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and al Qaeda-linked groups.
So currently the only ones enthusiastic about the plan are Obama and the terrorists. And the moderate terrorists could take it or leave it.
It could signal a larger challenge in finding suitable nations willing to host the U.S.-led training at a time of heightened tensions across much of the Middle East.
Obama could try training them in Israel. I'm sure that would work out well. Or Iraq. Or Iran. Liberals keep talking about how we need to ally with Iran.
While U.S. officials have not made a formal request to the Jordanian government, the country was widely considered a top choice to host the training due its close security relationship with Washington, proximity to neighboring Syria and pool of more than 600,000 Syrian refugees.
Whom the Jordanians would like to get rid of, not arm with heavy weapons.
"Jordan told the U.S., 'No boots on the ground'," said one of the officials, who all requested anonymity because they were discussing sensitive U.S. military arrangements.
That's okay. The terrorists will just wear sneakers. That's how Obama did it in Libya and it worked out fine.

Audit reveals $5.2 million surplus for Southaven
Economic woes don't appear to be affecting the City of Southaven's bottom line so far.
The city's annual audit shows a surplus of $5.2 million for fiscal 2007, about $2.2 million of which is already committed to ongoing projects.
Mayor Greg Davis presented the financial report at Tuesday's Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting. The report was prepared by the accounting firm of Williams, Pitts and Beard of Hernando.
"This audit is a snapshot of where we are on Sept. 30 when the budget year ends," City Administrator Chris Wilson said.
The city's fiscal year begins Oct.1.
"Our main objective is to have healthy cash balances to earn interest on healthy cash reserves," Wilson said.
Davis told aldermen the city is in good enough shape that it has used about $3.2 million in cash to fund its capital improvement projects rather than issuing bonds to finance them.
The improvement projects include renovating the old M.R. Davis Library and performing upgrades at Snowden Grove Park.
Major expenditures for the city included $14 million for public safety.
Sales taxes remained the largest single revenue item at $11 million, and Southaven Towne Center was credited with the continued growth in sales tax revenue for the city.
Wilson said auditors noted in the report that there was "significant internal control weaknesses" in the court department concerning recording court fines.
But he said those issues were not material weaknesses and the problems have been corrected with staff reductions and revamping how the court records payments.

I'm disappointed
Each day I look here for the newest templates, especially for Wordpress – but not only …
99% of them have portfolio categories which are not made for many images.
99% of them have only a lightbox/fancybox effect on each thumbnail instead of a separate description page for each image.
Hey, there around are not only photographers and designers, there are also artists/painters, who would like to present their artworks
And they need a huge portfolio area, where a click on an artwork's thumbnail will lead to a description page for this artwork.
And: I have still not seen here anybody using jquery-zoom for a detailed view – perfect for artists, showing their artwork in parts/details/detailed view
Don't forget the artists
7 hours passed, it means no one had time to post an answer, everyone is already working on themes you need .
I was actually working on this kinda thing before you mentioned it
Wow, this would be absolute great! Thanks
You drop me a line, when you're ready, please?
Thanks! Can't wait it
Hey colorit, thanks for the suggestion
No more feedback and authors offering such themes?
colorit take a look http://themeforest.net/item/photographerdream-wordpress-theme/29135 and here http://themeforest.net/item/stylishgrey-wordpress-theme/28207
yeah id be keen on this type of thing also! to showcase a few hundred web projects with multiple screens would be useful
I've created one that might interest you. Demo at: http://demos.colectivo2.org/
It is not available on Themeforest yet but it's up for sale. Let me know if you're interested.
Kind regards, Rick

In March 2011 we were the first truck to park at a public metered space in Boston (in Cleveland Circle), which led to a full fledged food truck initiative for the city. Maybe the same will happen in Cambridge? Come check us out at Hubspot (25 First Street, Cambridge) on Tuesday from 11-230. If it works out, we'll keep coming back!read more »

Pimento Melt Re-Do
So we launched a tasty sandwich a few weeks ago with house made spicy pimento cheese, chipotles, jalapeños, Grillo's Pickles, and two slices of tomato. It was a recipe Corey (truck manager) came up with. Pimento cheese is a southern spread, and Corey grew up in Kentucky and Lousiana, so it seemed like a perfect fit to give him his own sandwich. When we developed the sandwich, we used pickle chips, which was perfect. As soon as it came time to launch the sandwich, we found out Grillo's was out of chips and only had spears. We thought it would be a good idea to chop the pickles up and add them to the pimento spread, and after a few days we realized it wasn't the same as the one we settled on during trials.
So we changed it up a bit. We took the jalapeños out of the spread, and added them to the chopped pickles and brine, so the jalapeños pickle a bit overnight. We're happy with this one. We're sorry if you got one you didn't love. If you did, let us know, and we'll make you the new one.read more »

We've only been doing solids for about 1 1/2 weeks now. I'm trying to figure out what to do about clothes when feeding DD. Do you strip down to the diaper? I've got some large bibs that I thought covered her really well until I was feeding squash the other day and she smacked my arm and squash fell on her new pants. :( Thankfully the pants are flowerdy with orange and yellow flowers so it's not bad! But I'm just trying to figure out what to do. We're also still getting a schedule. I'm thinking that if we do the morning when she's still in PJs that's ok and then in evening strip her down and then put in PJs? I feel like I need to put her in a straight jacket to feed her! LOL! How about a swaddle for the high chair????? :D
What do you do??????

When I run out of my rockin green sample... Is it worth it to go by some more or does original tide work just as well? Or seventh generation powder? Or is there a better easily found brand? Rockin green is only sold 45 minutes from my house. Worth ordering online?
How much of the powder?
Thank you so much! I can't wait to have a good routine!

Bucks send custom ping pong balls to fans ahead of NBA Draft Lottery
May 8, 2014, 11:15 PM EDT
The Bucks somehow managed to finish the regular season with the league's worst record, even after the Sixers cut loose two of their three most talented veterans at the trade deadline and put together a losing streak that reached 26 straight games before it was finally snapped.
That distinction is normally nothing to brag about, but there is a small window lasting about a month — from the end of the regular season until the Draft Lottery on May 20 — where a team can feel just fine about being in that position.
Milwaukee has a 25 percent chance of landing the number one overall pick in this year's draft, and it's all thanks to the team's 15-win season. Nothing is guaranteed, of course, but the Bucks have the most ping pong balls out of any team that will go into the hopper to determine exactly how the final draft order will be set.
In order to get fans excited about the upcoming event, the team has shipped out custom ping pong balls with the Bucks logo on them, along with a card that reads "OWN THE FUTURE. WIN THE LOTTERY."
For AM crowd: the @bucks are sending packages to fans with ping pong balls inside of them, because they're the best pic.twitter.com/wfIEgvhhzn
— Eric Buenning (@ericbuenning) May 8, 2014
Creative promotion, and a great way to get fans excited.
The Bucks have also laid out a nice page explaining how the lottery works and detailing exactly what the team's chances are of winning, so check that out if you're at all uncertain of just how significant a ping pong ball can be in determining the future fortunes of a franchise.

Whoever they draft will not stay after their rookie contract is up anyway. The team will still suck after 2 years, and any offer to their top pick wont get signed.

It doesn't matter whether it's #1 or #4. The Bucks already have a #1 overall pick in Giannis Antetokounmpo. Yes your team would have chosen him first if the draft were held today. Milwaukee will have two top four picks in two years and the dynasty will begin. We just have to get rid of Larry Drew. Get ready NBA.
- bostonfrogs - May 9, 2014 at 7:11 PM
At least it won't be fixed now that David Stern is gone. A small market club like Milwaukee might actually have a chance.

VISTA: City says its employees may need to take pay cut
Rick Alvarez, representing the North County Football Club, said more fees would be difficult for many families to pay.
"I don't disagree with a fee," he said. "(But) to add this to us right now is going to be a big problem."
Other cuts that gained council consensus included axing plans for a fenced-in dog park at Brengle Terrace Park and eliminating a gift-card program that encouraged people to shop in Vista.
The city will also use one-time money, such as a $1.8 million payment from the city's redevelopment agency for land on South Santa Fe Avenue, to balance the budget.
Geldert said the city needs to find a way to cut $5 million to $7 million in ongoing costs from the budget because one-time funding sources are running out.
"Going forward, we still need to figure out how to reduce $5 million to $7 million structurally," Geldert said. "We have to wean ourselves off that. There will be no money left in those (one-time fixes) soon."

Shut off power to the unit. Removed the screws located along the inside edge of the door, then lifted up slightly on the entire front panel to loosen it from the slotted guides. Be ready to brace the door as there are still some electrical connections that do not need removal to finish the job. Removed two screws that hold the latch assembly in place, leaving the four electrical leads in place (this takes a special screwdriver but I had an attachment with my socket set). Removed the leads one at a time and immediately placed them on the corresponding posts on the new latch (this was to make sure I got the right lead in the right spot). Once all leads were in place, reattached the latch assembly to the inside of the door. The only tricky part was getting the door lined up with the guides and sliding it back into its seated position. That took two people, but only a few tries and it fit. Put the screws back on, turn power back on. Done.

If you thought the sand was bad from Baker to where I passed you, you wouldn't have believed what we rode through in the canyons outside of Barstow ...
I picked up the wheel from another inmate here, it is a HP-2 wheel (tubeless) laced to a GS hub. On day 2 about 2 hours out of Barstow I cut the sidewall of the front tire and got an instant flat. Pulled an emergency tube from a buddy, popped it in and kept right on going..
As for suspension, I am using the Wilbers WESA set up that integrates into the ESA system. The ride height for sure changes with the ESA set on the offroad settings.
Planning to go to Alt Rider Taste of Dakar again, last year was a lot of fun ... those guys know how to build a campfire.
Thanks for the info Todd it helps a lot. This was my first big ride in sand...and my last without a 21" wheel. The event committee told us to start in Baker as the first section was only for small Dual Sports...you must be a great rider as well. Actually where you passed me was some of the easiest riding on the whole trail...it was all the sand before that that wiped me out.
I just attended the Jimmy Lewis school in early November and it was awesome. He actually let me try his GSA with the 21/18 combo. I'm no expert but if I was to compare it to mine...it felt like a Cadillac vs a Kia.
Looks like another 21" customer heading your way Woody.
See you in Pahrump Todd...
