Gov. Malloy announced Tuesday the state will provide $500,000 in funding to Newtown, aimed at helping small businesses recover from the days following the tragedy at Sandy Hook when press, the public, and public figures flocked to the small town, adversely affecting economic activity.
Heavy traffic and road closures disrupted business as usual as visitors to the town rapidly increased in the wake of the shooting. But rather than stimulating the local economy, the masses did quite the opposite. "In the aftermath of the shootings, our businesses were essentially shut down by the volume of traffic and media preventing customers from getting to stores, services, and restaurants during the busiest shopping days of the year," said Newtown First Selectman E. Patricia Llodra, who thanked the state for their quick action in providing aid to the town.
Elected officials say the grant, which is part of the Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP), will soften the economic blow Newtown suffered as a result of the shootings. "In addition to the obvious course we must take to begin our healing, we must not forget about the local businesses that have been adversely affected by this situation," said Newtown State Rep. Christopher Lyddy.

Upstate New York, Southwest Florida, California Bay Area Markets Leading Recovery Northern Maryland, Southeast Pennsylvania, Downstate Illinois Markets Lagging
IRVINE, Calif. – Aug. 19, 2013 — RealtyTrac® (www.realtytrac.com), the nation's leading source for comprehensive housing data, today released its first-ever Housing Market Recovery Index (Housing MRI), which shows metro area markets in upstate New York, southwest Florida and the Bay Area of Northern California are leading the housing recovery while markets in northern Maryland, southeast Pennsylvania and downstate Illinois are lagging the furthest behind in the recovery.
"The U.S. housing market has clearly shifted to recovery mode over the past 18 months, with home prices consistently rising and foreclosures falling closer to pre-housing bubble levels," said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. "Still symptoms of the distress that plagued the housing market over the past seven years continue to linger, particularly in the form of a high percentage of underwater borrowers and distressed sales. This lingering distress is creating an uneven pace of recovery across different local markets."
The index was calculated based on seven different factors relating to the health of the real estate market: unemployment rate, underwater loans percentage, foreclosure activity percent change from peak, distressed sales percent of total sales, institutional investors share of total sales, cash purchases share of total sales, and median home price percent change from bottom. Those seven factors were indexed for each market with national averages as a baseline, and all seven indexes were averaged to calculate a total recovery index. RealtyTrac ranked 100 major U.S. metros based on this total recovery index, but data is available for more than 900 metro areas nationwide.
"Median home prices have bottomed and are now rising in all 100 ranked markets," Blomquist noted. "Likewise, foreclosure activity is past its peak in all 100 ranked markets — although foreclosure numbers have been rebounding recently in some areas where a more lengthy judicial process created a backlog of pent-up foreclosure activity."
Top 20 markets leading the real estate recovery
Rochester, N.Y., topped the list of markets with the strongest signs of recovery thanks to below-average unemployment, underwater and distressed sales percentages, combined with above-average drops in foreclosure activity and increases in home prices.
Similarly strong numbers in another upstate New York metro, Albany, helped that market post the third highest recovery index, slightly behind the southwest Florida market of Cape Coral-Fort Myers, one of the hardest-hit markets in the last seven years. Recovery in the Cape-Coral-Fort Myers market is being driven by strong home price increases, which are being fueled by a high percentage of cash and institutional investor purchases, along with sharp decreases in foreclosure activity. The Cape Coral-Fort Myers ranked second on the list despite an above-average percentage of underwater homeowners and distressed sales.
Two markets in the Bay Area of Northern California ranked among the top 5 markets leading the recovery: San Jose at No. 4 and San Francisco at No. 5. Both these markets outperformed the nation for unemployment rate, underwater percentage, foreclosure activity decrease since peak, and median price increase from the bottom of the market. Institutional investor and cash purchases — both considered a positive indicator for the recovery index — were below the national average in both Bay Area metros, and this is likely because the relatively high median prices in these markets create a barrier for institutional investors and other cash buyers — not to mention buyers using financing to purchase.
Along with New York and California, other states with two metros ranking among the top 20 markets leading the recovery were Colorado, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wisconsin. Other states with metros in the top 20 were Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Illinois.
Bottom 20 markets lagging the real estate recovery
The market recovery index in Baltimore was lowest among the 100 major metro areas ranked in the report thanks to underperforming numbers for all factors except for underwater percentage and cash purchase percentage. Although home prices have risen 9 percent from the bottom in Baltimore, that is short of the 19 percent increase nationally. Similarly, foreclosure activity was down 26 percent from its peak in Baltimore, but that decrease is well below the 65 percent decrease nationally. The Maryland metro of Hagerstown-Martinsburg also posted one of the five lowest recovery index scores.
Two metros in southeastern Pennsylvania posted total index scores that were in the five lowest among the 100 major metro areas ranked in the report: Allentown and Philadelphia. Although both had below-average percentages of underwater homeowners and distressed sales, both also underperformed in the areas of home price increases, foreclosure decreases, institutional investor and cash purchases, and unemployment rate.
An 11 percent unemployment rate helped place Rockford, Ill., among the five lowest recovery index scores. The downstate Illinois metro area also underperformed in the areas of underwater homeowners, decrease in foreclosure activity, percentage of distressed sales and cash sales, and rebounding home prices.
Three California metros posted recovery index scores among the 20 lowest despite above-average increases in home prices: Fresno, Visalia-Porterville, and Stockton. Unemployment rates above 12 percent, along with above-average percentages of underwater homeowners and distressed sales, lowered the index scores in these Central Valley California cities.
Four Florida cities posted recovery index scores among the 20 lowest: Pensacola-Ferry Bass-Brent, Tallahassee, Ocala, and Port St. Lucie. All four cities had above-average percentages of underwater homeowners along with below-average participation by institutional investors.

Recently I helped a new customer at their office which has a Peer network and had 2 Vista Pro SP-2 machines & 1 Win 7 Pro SP-1 machine.
One of the Vista machines was either hacked or some bad virus came in and I had to backup everything and install Windows 7 Pro SP-1 on it.
Now everything is working better as this machine acts as the server but when the other 2 need to access a share it wants the user name and password of the local account.
How can I stop this from happening? I do have the shares set for everyone with full control/access. There are 4 shares in that machine and this really should be simple. I made sure in the registry, services and network and sharing that the server machine is the only one that acts as server and the others just clients.
Any help is appreciated..

Thirty six where the pianists coming from all over the world that competed for one of the most important prizes in pianist lifetime, but just one got the first prize. Here's the winners:
Antonii Baryshevskyi: 1st Prize
Steven Lin: 2nd Prize
Leonardo Colafelice, Andrejs Osokins & Maria Mazo: 3 Finalists Prizes
Prize for the Best Performer of Classical Concerto: Leonardo COLAFELICE
Prize for the Best Performer of Chamber Music: Seong-Jin CHO & Andrejs OSOKINS
Prize for the Best Performer of a Chopin Composition: Leonardo COLAFELICE
Prize for the Best Performer of the Israeli Composition: Antonii BARYSHEVSKI

After joining the Chopin Competition in Warsaw (2010) and theTchaikovsky Competition in Moscow (2011) as technical partner, FAZIOLI has been proud to accept the invitation from Tel Aviv for the 14th edition of "The Rubinstein", where the competitors are given the possibility to chose among two different instruments (from two different piano makers).
Only 5 competitors chose the Italian piano from the first stage. Among them, the Russian Maria Mazo, who passed to the final. However, after Maria Mazo's performance of the Mozart Concerto for piano and Orchestra KV 467, the situation completly changed, with 4 more finalists deciding to "leave" the piano chosen at the beginning and switching to FAZIOLI - a F278 selected at the factory in Sacile by Daniil Trifonov (winner of the last edition of the Rubinstein Competition).

I am a fan of Arlovskis, but I truly feel he is way past his prime. The UFC taking him back makes no sense to me whatsoever. Arlovski has zero chance of ever contending for a title - why would the UFC want someone in that position? It's as odd a move as them releasing Shields.
I like AA. But how is he in the UFC while Shields Fitch and Okami are not?
This seems like a "name" coming in to feed to a rising star
I think the UFC sees Velasquez and Dos Santos wiping out the HW division in short order and need to get as many name fighter on the roster as possible.
If he fights Schaub and wins, and I hope he does, I wouldn't mind seeing Arlovski vs Overeem.

The current paper provides a review of natural disasters and their impacts in Asia and the Pacific by disaster type, subregion and level of development. The first section looks at the occurrence of natural disaster events. This is followed by an analysis of fatalities and economic loss in sections two and three respectively. The short-term consequences of natural disasters on the economy are also mentioned. The final section briefly discusses aspects regarding exposure and vulnerability of countries in Asia and the Pacific.
This issue of the Trade Insights series identifies Asia-Pacific LDCs and LLDCs with export-portfolios and economies which are at greatest risk from the recent collapse in global commodity prices. Asia-Pacific LDCs and LLDCs account for less than 2% of global commodity exports and just 7% of Asia-Pacific commodity exports; however many these economies have export-portfolios which are highly concentrated in one or two major commodities: mainly crude oil, natural gas, aluminum, iron ore/steel, cotton and copper.
Migration has economic, social, environmental and political implications in both countries of origin and destination. There is growing recognition that policy interventions which foster a link between migration and decent employment can promote sustainable development. However, across Asia and the Pacific there is a lack of high-quality migration statistics which form the foundation for designing, monitoring and evaluating policies. Without detailed, disaggregated migration statistics it is impossible to determine the costs versus the benefits of migration-related policy interventions.
Water is vital to human lives, as well as fundamental to all development issues. Asia and the Pacific are facing serious challenges both in terms of the quantity and quality of water in sustaining its long term economic growth prospects and achieving sustainable development.
This policy brief, issued as part of the Trade Insights series, examines the evolving economic partnership between Japan and the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and reviews prospects for the future in light of the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015.
The "Quick Guide for Policy Makers on Pro-Poor Urban Climate Resilience in Asia and the Pacific" focuses on the need to enhance understanding of the region's key urban stakeholders on climate change, discusses how it affects efforts to realize sustainable urban development, and explores what actions can be taken to synergize continued commitments to poverty reduction alongside urban climate resilience.
India has made notable progress in achieving poverty reduction and other Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) since their adoption at the turn of the century but this progress has been uneven and millions continue to remain trapped in extreme poverty. As the MDGs reach their deadline, and world leaders prepare to adopt new Sustainable Development Goals at the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, it is an opportune moment to make an assessment of India's achievement of MDGs and lessons learned for the future.
Myanmar holds considerable promise, for businesses both domestic and foreign, as well as for development practitioners, confident of seeing a rapid transformation in economic conditions and quality of life in general. Nevertheless, while the country has attracted substantial interest from around the world, there are still many gaps in knowledge. In-depth information about the conditions facing the private sector, as well as the perspectives of the various members of the private sector, is still in the process of being uncovered.
This issue based on the Statistical Yearbook 2014 (http://www.unescap.org/resources/statistical-yearbook-asia-and-pacific-2014), released on 9 December 2014. It highlights some of the social issues and policy challenges in Asia and the Pacific, some of the links between these issues, and the role of data in making better decisions in future to ensure no one is left behind.
The first Asia-Pacific Modernization Newsletter produced by the Strategic Advisory Body for the Modernization of Statistical Production and Services in Asia and the Pacific (SAB-AP) and the Modernization Working Group on Production, Methods and Standards (MWG). This newsletter is designed to be an easy way to access information and resources about the regional and global work on modernization, in particular tailored to the needs of Asia and the Pacific. It will also tell you about the work of the SAB-AP and the MWG.

Nancy Pelosi recently graced the cover of a some socialite rag titled Capitol File. There is something glaring about the cover that kind of goes without saying...so I'm not going to say it (you'll figure it out from my captions). Rollover the numbers to see my captions and add your two cents in the comments.
Move over Bill Cosby...
I couldn't help myself...her face looks too much like the Cos right there. Unfortunately these are the best photos I could find for comparison...

A few days ago Obama issued a message tomobilize the troops for 2010.
You can seethe video in its entirety here if you're an insomniac...or you can save yourself the trouble since I cut to the chase below:
"It will be up to each of you to make sure that the young people, African Americans, Latinos and women, who powered our victory in 2008 stand together once again." "If you help us do that -- if you help us make sure that first-time voters in 2008 make their voices heard again in November -- then together we will deliver on the promise of change and hope and prosperity for generations to come."
You see, Obama had a one-night stand with certain voters back in '08, and at the end of it he said "I'll call you." He kept his promise...its a call to action.
Man oh man, I can see the campaign pamphlets now...
Sure, this response is a bit hyperbolic, but the brazen nature of such hyperbole pales in comparison to a sitting president's appeal to minorities to flip on their Obamaton switch in what is supposed to be some sort of "post-racial presidency."
To be sure, the demographics he mentions did indeed "power" his victory, but the teleprompter forgot to let him know that such a strategy for a Democratic victory is a glass that is half empty.
The other half, being all the independents and Republicans that chose to give him a shot (and those who sat on their hands and refused to be a de facto vote for McCain) and are now suffering buyers remorse, is the half of the equation he poured out into the gutter the moment he decided to govern less like the center-left guy he painted himself to be and more like Howard Dean on crazy pills.
I will say this, at least the Democrats don't dance around the fact that they hold the minority vote with an iron fist.
I would love see what might happen if a Republican would say anything remotely close to what Obama said, but for "their people"....Whoever the hell that is supposed to be.
They wouldn't do it, because racists concern and obsess themselves with race.
Besides, if they did the liberals and the media would have to invent new bigot-tarring "ism's" to satiate the need to devour their "racist" right-wing carcass in the court of public opinion.Add a comment
I'm the son of an immigrant. My dad and his family had very little when they came to North America, but the navigated the system and became American citizens...more importantly than that he AND my grandparents became American.
What kind of twilight zone did we enter where it was controversial to criminalize illegal immigration?
Thats what Arizona just did, and you would think if you listen to liberals that the state just turned into some kind of conservative San Francisco. Requiring strangers in this land to identify themselves (this doesn't mean they are not welcome...to the contrary) used to be part of the American way.
Now media like CNN are trying to claim the state is now polarized as if some racist fringe thrust this on the population like it was ObamaCare. Meanwhile Rassmussen finds 70% of likely voters favor the bill.
If Republicans controlled 70% of congress right now...they would repeal Obamacare, watch Obama use his veto pen for something other than sketching new ways he can work his logo to the most innocuous of wrds...and then they would vaporize his veto.
But at CNN 70% favorability of opposing illegal immigration is "polarizing." This can only mean that Nobel prize winning mathematicians work at CNN.
Compare the Tea Party to the people protesting Arizona's AB 1070. Arizona has needed riot police and have been making arrests against protesters who being hailed as "mostly peaceful".
This of course is contrasted with the the totally peaceful Tea Party, who don't even lay a finger on Nancy Pelosi while she rubs the impending passage of ObamaCare in their faces, and yet earn the title of Timothy McVeigh Jr. from the likes of Bill Clinton
A lot has been said about the Tea Party taking similar tones, and just about none of it is provable. However, we do know that liberals via websites like crashtheparty.org have set out to pose as Tea Party members holding misspelled signs and engaging in bad behavior to make them look like the thugs in Arizona.
I've been witnessing these kind of shenanigans since I started paying attention to politics as a teenager, yet the audacity with which the liberal leaning news media tries to just flat out rewrite reality never ceases to amaze me.Add a comment

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in The Looking Spoon. This month marks one year since I launched the blog in its present form. (It used to be on Blogger before I decided to host it myself, see the posts from the 2008 archive, I warn you though my current work is a lot better)
I do this because I'm passionate about what is happening in this world, and I like to make people laugh. It really is that simple.
I also got tired of hearing how conservatives have no sense of humor and they don't know how to be funny. I hope you all have found that The Looking Spoon puts truth to that lie.
In the process of doing this I've found that not only does The Looking Spoon shed light on conservative humor, but there are others out there who do just as good, if not better, job at making us laugh at liberals. If you want to see them check out The List.
Every month I continue to be amazed at the growth of traffic the site gets, and I hope the second year will be just as successful as the first. Thank you for taking time out of your busy days to pay attention to what this blog has to say. Your support here and on the social networks truly keeps me motivated to keep trying and going after full-time work and other family and life obligations.
Now that I'm done with the mushy stuff its back to work.
I know I'm not the first to come up with this idea....but lets have some fun with captions and liberals! Leave a comment below as to what you think is going on here. I did my own take on what they may have been saying, which you can see by rolling over the numbers below (preferably in order).
Joe Klein of Time magazine on seditious conservatives...
Glenn Beck's response
It's too bad Joe couldn't manage to write on that napkin what a "dictionary monkey" is. If Klein is so adept at reading dictionary definitions you would think he could have taken even 5 seconds to identify an actual statement of sedition from either Palin or Beck. We know Chris Matthews isn't going to ask him for one, at this point the concept of Hardball only works for him when hes talking about or looking at shirtless pictures of Obama.
The only silver lining in this is...nobody freakin' heard it. Morons like Klein go on shows hosted by wannabe has-beens like Chris Matthews because their own audience is dropping faster than Matthews's Obamatons. The only reason anyone even knows about it is because talk radio and the blogosphere (guilty as charged) are crying about it. We can't help it...societal stupidity just can't go unchallenged.
Ronald Reagan only said "freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction" because Mike Judge's movie Idiocracy hadn't yet been invented by Joe Klein's of today.Add a comment
This is going to be totally non-political and off subject of The Looking Spoon's mission, but its something fun I wanted to share.
Seeing that today is Earth Day and considering all the earthquakes all over the world along with the volcano in Iceland I was reminded of an OLD cartoon I drew YEARS ago before I started getting fancy with my computer pen tablet and Photoshop...
There was a time where I only wanted to do gag cartoons like this one, but there are more important things to work on now.Add a comment
Last month I came up with a little character called 'Lil TeaBagger and have had some fun with that...
Now meet Obamaton, because
somebody something has to support Obama as his approval rating continues to plummet.
I'll figure out other things to do with him. YES YOU CAN follow the little guy on Twitter by clicking here.

Major: Communication
Hometown: West Jordan, UT
Year in School: Junior
Favorite thing about SUU: Small campus which makes it easy to walk from class to class. Campus is beautiful, especially the bell tower which is my personal favorite. Because of the small student population on campus you get to build stronger relationships with many people around campus and see the same people often. Professors will take the time to help you if you need it, and they will remember who you are. Being really involved and attending all the athletic events are also my favorite.
Biggest freshman mistake: Not getting involved and not utilizing the resources that are offered on campus such as, CAPS and career center
Piece of Advice: GET INVOLVED!!! It will make your college experience so much more enjoyable, and you will also make so many friends from it. Get to know your professors, and go to their office hours. Professors are really there to help you, and want to help you, so utilize it!! Go to campus events and support our athletics! Remember that studying and good grades come before having fun, so work hard. Don't procrastinate. Saying NO every once in a while is okay!! Don't follow everything your friends do. Make sure you do what you want to do and you experience what you want to do.

Wanted to get everyone's opinion on this. I have a couple units in mind that I'll try to draw this year with 1 point as a NR to do a solo backpack high country archery hunt.
With the season opening over labor day weekend can you give me an idea of the crowd conditions. Do most bowhunters aim to be out there opening day? I imagine its a popular weekend for hikers as well. I'm sure this varies with the popularity of the unit for either hiking or hunting. I'm trying to draw a unit that gave out less than 75 permits last year.
I'm just unsure that should I draw if I should aim to be out there opening day vs fly out the 2nd saturday of the season.

It's Roberts's Court Now
For months before today's announcement of the Supreme Court's decision in the Health Care Cases, the conventional wisdom had centered on two things: (1) The vote would be 6-3; and (2) Chief Justice John G. Roberts would write the opinion. Roberts would jump the way Justice Anthony Kennedy jumped and then write the opinion to shape doctrine for the future.
It's a good day for conventional wisdom when it is half right, but that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) survived, 5-4, with a majority opinion by Roberts and an angry dissent by Kennedy was an outcome few people would have predicted.
All told, it was a morning of surprises. It was a good morning for the Obama administration, whose signature policy initiative (for good or bad) survived largely intact.
But it was a better day for John Roberts, who displayed John Marshall-level command of the Court, and produced a result that moves current jurisprudence only a little—but will enable it to move far to the right if a Republican victory in the fall brings him an additional vote.
Briefly put, the Court (by shifting majorities) held that
(1) the "individual mandate" survives. Requiring individuals to maintain health coverage was not justified by Congress's power to regulate "commerce ... among the several states"; however, since the current mandate is enforced by a tax penalty, it is justified by Congress's power to " lay and collect taxes."
(2) the expansion of Medicaid survives (yes, you read that right). The new provisions can offer the states massive funding if they agree to modify their programs to cover more poor people; however, they cannot enforce the condition by cutting off all Medicaid funding to states. The federal government can withhold only the new funding to states that decline to join. Since the federal government had no intention of withholding previous funding, this poses no obstacle to the Medicaid expansion.
In every practical sense, then, the ACA survived its near-death experience. Four Justices—Kennedy, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito—wanted to kill the program entirely, voiding the mandate, scotching Medicaid expansion, and striking the rest of the massive statute for good measure. A fifth vote would have ended the possibility of federal comprehensive health-care legislation for a generation.
At the same time, Roberts has given the Court important new doctrinal tools to limit Congress's use of both the commerce and spending-power clauses—a long-term project dear to the heart of the legal right. The "no mandate" rule puts yet another roadblock in the path of congressional regulatory schemes—not all future programs can be enforced by tax law. Even if the Court had upheld the commerce power as a source of the "mandate," Congress would probably not ever have passed another such mandate, for political reasons. But the language of the commerce-clause section gives the Court new options for attacking congressional regulation of the economy. And, as Justice Ginsburg pointed out in her full-throated liberal-bench dissent, the Court had never before struck down any use of the spending power. Now it has that weapon at its disposal.
The lineup of the justices shows how adept Roberts is at building alliances. On the commerce-power issue, he allied with the four conservatives. On the taxing-power issue, he added his vote to the four moderate liberals. On the Medicaid issue, he summed the four conservative votes to forbid the Medicaid expansion altogether, with his own vote and that of the two newest Justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, for the more limited "no total cutoff" rule.
Until today, some observers had suggested that this is really the Kennedy Court, dominated by the swing-voting Sphinx of Sacramento. But Kennedy today was an angry loser. It is now unquestionably the Roberts Court. He has taken the Court out of the line of fire in 2012, which underlines, for those who watch these things, how important the next election will be for the direction of constitutional doctrine.
Obama won a battle today. But Roberts is planning a long campaign, which will go on long after Obama has left office.

Roberts was running a judicial dictatorship before this happened. This just makes his judicial dictatorship a little more popular. Congress is just a place where party politicians divide up the trillions of dollars borrowed on national credit, and the only real power remaining with the Presidency is the ability to appoint Supreme Court judges and federal judges. The people seem determined to be governed by the part of the government they do not elect.

The apocalypse must be coming. This is a shocking display of centrist sentiment from our chief justice. It's shocking because the supreme court (I will not give it the dignity of capital letters) are just a bunch of political hacks who vote along party lines. The actual law doesn't matter (see the joke that is Citizens United and its complete and total disregard for 100 years of legal precedent and interpretation).
Sun, 2012-07-01 18:22
No, it's still the Roberts' court, has been ever since he was approved as W's nominee. One thing most court watchers are overlooking about this very political, Catholic court, is that, like Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito, Roberts is first and foremost a politician. That's why W nominated him. His swing over to the minority this time must be considered as a move to repair the badly damaged reputation he tried to create at his nomination hearing as an objective umpire calling balls and strikes. What about his complete strikeout in Citizens United and the rest of his record? Roberts suffered very badly from that decision and this is only a political move, playing to the easily deceived majority of citizens, as opposed to corporations, that he can be an umpire, not an emperor. Remember, you can't trust politicians. Roberts still considers corporations as persons and money as speech.
Sun, 2012-07-01 18:59
PS: But it's true that Scalia, Thomas, and Alito are the most boldly political of all the five-majority of this Catholic Supreme Court. Add Ginny Thomas to that clique because she brazenly exploits her husband's position on the Court until she is stopped for unconstitutional or rankly dangerous behavior.

The candidates include:
There are problems in using these as more than local charts, to do with their multiple-valued nature, and singularities. That is, one must be careful above all to work only with diffeomorphisms in the definition of chart. Problems of this sort are inevitable, since SO(3) is diffeomorphic to real projective space RP3, which is a quotient of S3 by identifying antipodal points, and charts try to model a manifold using R3.
This explains why, for example, the Euler angles appear to give a variable in the 3-torus, and the unit quaternions in a 3-sphere. The uniqueness of the representation by Euler angles breaks down at some points (cf. gimbal lock), while the quaternion representation is always a double cover, with q and −q giving the same rotation.
If we use a skew-symmetric matrix, every 3×3 skew-symmetric matrix is determined by 3 parameters, and so at first glance, the parameter space is R3. Exponentiating such a matrix results in an orthogonal 3×3 matrix of determinant 1--in other words, a rotation matrix, but this is a many-to-one map. It is possible to restrict these matrices to a ball around the origin in R3 so that rotations do not exceed 180 degrees, and this will be one-to-one, except for rotations by 180 degrees, which correspond to the boundary S2, and these identify antipodal points. The 3-ball with this identification of the boundary is RP3. A similar situation holds for applying a Cayley transform to the skew-symmetric matrix.
Axis angle gives parameters in S2×S1; if we replace the unit vector by the actual axis of rotation, so that n and −n give the same axis line, the set of axis becomes RP2, the real projective plane. But since rotations around n and −n are parameterized by opposite values of θ, the result is an S1 bundle over RP2, which turns out to be RP3.
Fractional linear transformations use four complex parameters, a, b, c, and d, with the condition that ad-bc is non-zero. Since multiplying all four parameters by the same complex number does not change the parameter, we can insist that ad-bc=1. This suggests writing (a,b,c,d) as a 2×2 complex matrix of determinant 1, that is, as an element of the special linear group SL(2,C). But not all such matrices produce rotations: conformal maps on S2 are also included. To only get rotations we insist that d is the complex conjugate of a, and c is the negative of the complex conjugate of b. Then we have two complex numbers, a and b, subject to |a|2+|b|2=1. If we write a+bj, this is a quaternion of unit length.
Ultimately, since R3 is not RP3, there will be a problem with each of these approaches. In some cases, we need to remember that certain parameter values result in the same rotation, and to remove this issue, boundaries must be set up, but then a path through this region in R3 must then suddenly jump to a different region when it crosses a boundary. Gimbal lock is a problem when the derivative of the map is not full rank, which occurs with Euler angles and Tait-Bryan angles, but not for the other choices. The quaternion representation has none of these problems (being a two-to-one mapping everywhere), but it has 4 parameters with a condition (unit length), which sometimes makes it harder to see the three degrees of freedom available.
One area in which these considerations, in some form, become inevitable, is the kinematics of a rigid body. One can take as definition the idea of a curve in the Euclidean group E(3) of three-dimensional Euclidean space, starting at the identity (initial position). The translation subgroup T of E(3) is a normal subgroup, with quotient SO(3) if we look at the subgroup E+(3) of direct isometries only (which is reasonable in kinematics). The translational part can be decoupled from the rotational part in standard Newtonian kinematics by considering the motion of the center of mass, and rotations of the rigid body about the center of mass. Therefore any rigid body movement leads directly to SO(3), when we factor out the translational part.

He quit how many years ago?...... who cares.
Hopefully he is motivated and does come out and at least have a great fight against Rory, who I think is a monster. Rory annoyed by all the tested is weird, I had seen a pic of him not too long ago and he looked huge. I believe he said he was at 200lbs, plus all his bachne, makes me a bit suspicious of him.

Oh, tree, once so full and green with leaves. How small you look now, with a single squirrel dropping acorn shells from your thinnest branch. How he balances on the lightest end, snatches his treat before it falls and flips back to safety nearer to the trunk, where he can rip that spare meat from its shell, and shed the rest to the ground.
Which is bare, too, you know. Bare and crumpled with dry, winter's leaves that crunched beneath my feet as I came to you in the way of withered and dying things. At the stoplight, I spotted two faded butterfly wings, folded together like an overlarge purse before a polite departure. By the riverbed, which is always more stone than water, a bird nestled down into its coat, puffed itself into a ball and shivered into the wind. Shaking, I set my things down here, where my numb fingers could safely peck at the keyboard, a small defense against the advancing front.
But now I must leave, tree, as the air is cool and growing colder and it is time for me to slip back into a cave of my own. In the spring, we will both have fresh haircuts and emerge youthful and blushing to embrace the season.
Will this same squirrel join us then, or will he have leapt far away from here in his hunt for survival, ending his journey somewhere unknown to you and me? I cannot answer that, tree. But I look forward to seeing you then, and, too, all the furry rascals that call you home when times are good and the weather is fine and we are all so full of life and cheer.

Drug dealing charges are filed against Austin man
Written by Marty Randall
Wednesday, 22 July 2009 00:00
An Austin man now faces 12 criminal charges filed in Scott Circuit Court, all connected to alleged drug dealing at his residence.
James D. Haney, 50, was charged Monday, July 6, with seven Class B and C felony counts of dealing in a Schedule I, II or II controlled substance as well as two counts of dealing in a Schedule IV controlled substance, one misdemeanor count of dealing marijuana and Class D felony counts of maintaining a common nuisance and possession of paraphernalia.
Haney was taken into custody on Thursday evening, July 2, by Major/Detective Lonnie Noble and Reserve Detective Robert Hardin after they and other Austin officers served a search warrant at the Haney household on Factory Drive.
Listed as seized evidence was a number of Endocet, Lorcet, Lortab, Xanax, Methadone and Oxycodone tablets. Also discovered in the residence were two syringes and several pill cutters as well as $1,469 in currency. A total of $19 of that amount was identified by Det. Noble as marked enforcement aid monies used in previous "controlled" buys from Haney, the officer noted.
The charges against Haney were prepared and an initial court hearing for him was prepared by Prosecutor Jason Mount for Tuesday, July 7. There will be charges filed against several other individuals as well, most for visiting a common nuisance, according to information received.
Bail for Haney was set at $75,000 corporate surety or full cash.

Beautiful Morgan Means begins reign as 2009 Miss Scott County Fair Queen
Written by Marty Randall
Wednesday, 15 July 2009 00:00
The 2009 Miss Scott County Fair Queen is a tall, beautiful brunette who enjoyed herself thoroughly at the pageant conducted at Scottsburg High School's McClain Hall on Sunday evening, July 12.
"Oh, wow! This is great!" exclaimed Queen Morgan Ashley Means as she waved to her family and friends in the audience. She accepted her crown and sash, a scepter and an armful of red roses from 2008 Miss Scott County Fair Queen Brooklyn Young, one of the first to congratulate the jubilant new Queen.
The stage was graced by the presence of 11 lovely gowned young ladies that evening. Hostess Brittany Banister, a member of the sponsoring Pilot Club of Scott County, first announced the contestants' selection of the 2009 Miss Congeniality winner. That honor went to Tia Monique Deaton. 2009 Fair Princess was announced next, and that title was given to Lisann Renee Goodin.
Tension mounted as the final announcement came and, to judge from her expression when her name was announced, Morgan was overwhelmingly surprised as Queen Brooklyn approached her with her new regalia.
Queen Morgan is the 18-year-old daughter of Leslie and Kevin Means of Scottsburg. Her sponsor in the competition was the Phi Beta Psi Sorority chapter of Scottsburg.
Morgan is a spring graduate of Scottsburg High School and has plenty of hobbies, including playing basketball, running track, swimming and "hanging out" with friends. She loves being with her family and friends, enjoying quality time.

Wednesday, 15 July 2009 00:00
Judges had a difficult time selecting the 2009 Little Miss and Little Master of Scott County at the competition conducted Sunday, July 12, in McClain Hall at Scottsburg High School.
Six fairly well-behaved young men were in the Little Master competition, while 12 of the prettiest little girls were led on stage by 2008 Miss Scott County Fair Queen Brooklyn Young.

This year, the contest was held after the 2009 Miss Scott County Fair Queen pageant, and organizers were the ladies of the Pilot Club of Scott County.
After each child was interviewed by emcee Brittany Banister, judges tackled the task of selecting the new Little Miss and Master as well as runners-up for both titles.
Kailee Danielle Campbell, a sweet little blonde and the six-year-old daughter of Kim Jones and Josh Campbell, received the Little Miss title, while Bentley Noah McCrady, a handsome lad of four and son of Erica McCrady, was selected as the Little Master.
Their runners-up were Kyleigh Renee Stover, 4, daughter of Melanie and Denny Robbins and Mark Stover, and Wyatt Scott Zellers, 4, son of Carla and Scott Zellers.

Forever Tree Society program provides opportunity to keep someone's memory alive
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 15 July 2009 00:00
When Pat Bridge of Scottsburg heard about the new Forever Tree Society program at the Scott County Community Foundation, she immediately knew she wanted to do something in memory of her parents, Laurence and Myrtle Bridge.
They were lifelong residents and farmers in Johnson Township, Scott County. Myrtle was a charter member of the Scott Memorial Hospital Guild and Laurence was a committee member of the Agriculture Stabilization Office for many years.
They were both members and very active in the Pisgah Methodist Church. "Honest, family oriented, hardworking and Christians," says Pam Mosley, Pat's only child and Laurence and Myrtle's only grandchild.
After learning more information about the Forever Tree Society, Pat decided to establish the Laurence and Myrtle Bridge Memorial Fund. She likes the concept that because of the unrestricted gift, the board can decide where the money is best needed. She was also able to participate in the matching funds program that the Foundation Board of Directors offered as an incentive to donors. Through Sept. 30, the Foundation is offering $25,000 in matching funds for the program.

Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 15 July 2009 00:00

In addition, the Board has agreed to provide up to $25,000 in matching funds for its new Forever Tree Society memorial and tribute program.
The Foundation also has almost $14,000 that it may award from its unrestricted funds for its competitive grants cycle, including the Addie Mae Graham Memorial Fund, the Lauren Graham Memorial Fund, Dr. William and Diann Scott Memorial Fund, John and Janice Martin Unrestricted Endowment Fund, Scott County Memorial Fund and Scott County Immediate Response Fund.
All charitable organizations and causes are invited to submit proposals for the competitive process. There is no limit on the amount organizations may apply for this year.
"We are very pleased to be able to open our grants cycle to the community this year, especially with the situation in our economy," said Connie Kenninger, grants committee chairperson.

Applications are due Monday, July 20 at 3 p.m. Interviews to the finalists will be conducted in August.

Hello Team;
Here is a story of a 12 year old girl who came to see me . Both her, and her mother were frustrated, and fed-up with this rash that wouldn't go away for 3 months.
She had been on prednisone, antibiotics, and antihistamines to name a few of the medications which had been prescribed to her, to "Stop" the rash.
When I saw her, I explained "my philosophy is to get to the root of the problem". Why is this happening? What is your body trying to tell us here? After talking for awhile, I made the following recommendations for the next 4 weeks.
- No sugar
- No dairy
- No eggs
The first response was, "Oh she doesn't eat any sugar". I smiled and said "you don't have to put in any extra sugar…the food companies are doing it for you."
I gave them a list of all the different names of sugar which I call " where sugar hides" (which I will post next time). I asked them to come back and see me in one week for follow-up, just to check in and see how the journey was going. So, off they went.
At the follow up I asked how she was doing, and she said "a lot better". Her mother said when they went shopping, they were amazed how many products had sugar in it. It was astonishing to see the improvement in just one week and the glow in her eyes.
The best part of this story is the birth of a new dream. She shared with me that she always wanted to be a chef, and her sister's birthday is coming up. Her goal is to make a cake without sugar.
I cast a further vision, and let her know that she could start playing with recipes, possibly write a cookbook that uses no sugar . We need more young entrepreneurs that are going to help our youth.
We would love to hear your story, and if you have any sweet recipes that don't contain sugar, they would be appreciated.

Breaking News! Dancing can burn calories, so we gave it a try; Go ahead, ok to laugh, it's good for the heart. Whoop Whoop… >>>>>>> >> ( log-in to facebook to watch)
Has anyone not heard of Gangnam Style? It's the hottest dance craze since the Macarena. It's lighting up talk shows and living room dance parties from coast to coast and around the world as this South Korean hit makes everyone want to get up and shake their booties. Especially the sexy ladies.
If you haven't stepped away from YouTube and actually done (or at least attempted) Psy's Gangnam Style dance, maybe you should. There's a good 200 calorie burn waiting for According to the (ACE), "you can burn approximately 150-200 calories per half hour, which is similar to other forms of aerobic dance." The calorie burn varies, like any other workout, on the weight of the person and the intensity at which it is performed.
Remember, we're all sitting too much. The sitting? It's killing us. The dancing, it will save us in more ways than one. It's a fun way to burn fat without thinking or feeling like you're having to exercise. The kids can get involved which just means more fun family time together. And it's also a tremendous way to destress, unwind, and give yourself a mental refresh.
Enjoy life and go ahead; Have a Laugh, it's good for you…
your dancing friend; Dr.Isabel

Hello and welcome back;
What fuels anger?
- When someone hurts your feelings…
- When life doesn't go your way…
- How about when someone lets you down…
Usually anger grows from unforgiveness. Not forgiving someone for hurting you can make you very ill. A lot of stress related diseases are based in unforgiveness; like heart attacks, depression, and panic attacks to name a few.
Not forgiving someone is like you taking poison and expecting the other person to die from it. With all due respect to the pain that you have endured , you are the one who dies a slow death. I can give you a personal account from my life.
My dad was an alcoholic . We grew up walking on eggshells around the house. I remember when I was around 9 years old he started to have a loaded rifle in the bedroom ( we grew up in USA). It was ugly and it was scary.
When I turned 11, I decided in my young heart that my father did not qualify to be my father. I felt let down, hurt and abandoned. Then the anger seed set in and grew thick long roots deep into my heart. The fruit from that big tree was unforgivenss, fear, shame to name a few.
I was angry and my unforgiveness, was like me drinking the poison and expecting to have my father hurt.
God brought a dear women into my life, when I was 46 years old. She asked me when was the last time I had talked to my father. Soon I realized it had been about 12 years ( I used to really close off people who hurt me). Luckily for me , this lady had the and recommended for me to call dad and forgive him.
I was very teachable and very motivated at that point in my life to become "UnAngry". I called dad, told him I forgave him, and that I loved him. Two weeks later he passed away.
You know when you have truely forgiven someone when the thought or presence of them does not stimulate ideas of pain or injury to them. After I forgave dad, I had a weight lifted from my heart and now when I think about him, I see a very hurt and troubled soul, that I really loved because he was my dad.
I work with a lot of abused women and children. It is important to get yourself into a safe enviroment. However afterwards, when you are safe and you begin to heal, look and see if you are angry. If you are, then needs to occur, so you don't die from anger and bitterness.
I did it and I believe you can too. I'd enjoy hearing your comments and stories.

Hello my friends;
The title seems like an oxymoron, however I have just been educated on a product that is a healthy . Before I explain lets look at the candy industry.
Candy is a $30 billion industry per year just in the USA. It is growing at a rate of $16 billion per year. There is one place though that the rate of junk food has decreased and that is New York City. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has restricted access to junk food by banning items that slow down your metabolism like trans-fats.
In America alone, Type 2 pre-diabetes and diabetes in teenagers has gone from 9% to a massive 23% over an 8 year period. This use to be an adult disease. Now we are seeing it in our children. And we know that when kids get type 2 diabetes, it is more aggressive and does not respond to medications as well. Around the world, we are headed for a Tsunami of Childhood and Teenage Diabetes. I know one thing as a doctor, we are not prepared for this.
We know that sugar promotes obesity. We also know that obesity promotes . Both of which are completely preventable. Yet the food industry heavily advertises the worst quality foods to our children in the form of processed foods.
Did you know that the worldwide sale of processed foods (those containing corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oil, artificial ingredients, preservatives, and other chemicals we can't even pronounce) has hit $3.2 trillion? That is $3,200,000,000,000. That is a bit of junk food.
What is it going to take to "unjunk" the junk food that our kids want to eat?
That leads me to the story of a 13 year old teenager by the name of Nicky Bronner. Nicky came home from Halloween one year with his pot of gold. The next day it had vanished. His parents had tossed it into the bin, because "It isn't good for you."
Next Nicky went on a mission to show his parents that junk food wasn't bad for you and what he found was that his parents where right. So he asked a question; " Why does the junk food we love, have to be so bad for us?" What he found was, that the worst parts of the candy (corn syrup, artificial flavors and colors, preservatives and hydrogenated oils) weren't there to make the candy taste good . They were there to make it cheaper to produce.
As a result , http://getunreal.com, was created. Their candy duplicate the real thing like Snickers, Reese's, MilkyWay, M+M's and Peanut M+M's .
They contain:
- No
- No Partially Hydrogenated Oil
- No Artificial Ingredients
- No 's (genetically modified organisms)
- No Preservatives
- A Lot less sugar ( but not less than an orange)
- No Chemicals
- More protein and fiber
The best part is they are available at regular stores, not just at expensive health food stores , and at the same low prices. Right now in the USA they are at 30,000 check out counters.
The goal of course is not to eat more junk food. It is for everyone to wake up and pay attention to what they are putting into their precious bodies. More importanty, to wake up the Big Food Co, to act more responsibily and use products that will not hurt us.
It is amazing what can happen when our youth are allowed to be creative.

Hello friends; Have you ever bought, ordered, or received a product or service that under-delivered, or just wasn't what it was supposed to be?
I'm sure that has happened to all of us at one time or another. And when it does, the experience can be frustrating, and sometimes costly. The idea of this Blog; let's remember that whatever we do in Life, It's always better to overdeliver and leave people with a "WOW factor feeling".
Ok, to demonstrate what I'm talking about, here's a funny story that happended to my husband, Michael, this past weekend. Wasn't costly, but Oh it was funny!
We were invited to join some friends to an evening of blind (no-looking) wine tasting, along with platters of great food. The evening was well planned out by the hosts with many wines to taste, and a fun competition based on correct number of guesses per wine. Everyone had a wonderful time, and as the evening was coming to a close, the final was "desserts". My husband Michael (who is a Chef) asked a young lady next to him if she had baked the cake he had spotted. She said,"yes, I made the carrot cake". Michael noticed that she looked at her husband and kind of smiled. While this couple was in the kitchen talking, Michael had the first piece of the "carrot cake". He looked at it, thinking something didn't look right, then took his first bite. He innocently said to the carrot cake lady, "did you forget the carrots"? The couple burst out laughing, and confessed the wife had forgotten to put the carrots in the carrot cake. I know, you had to be there, but let me tell you, everyone was in tears laughing about the Carrot-less carrot cake. An innocent mistake, very funny, however the finished product wasn't what was to be delivered.
Have you ever had someone or something under-deliver for you? What makes you frustrated when it happens?
love to hear from you…

Welcome back my friends:
Let's continue on with our discussuion about a good night sleep.
3. What to eliminate that interferes with your sleep;
- alcohol : If you need to have a drink, then I recommend you have it 2 hours before sleep to decrease the negative affects.
- chocolate
- caffiene such as coffee and tea
- headache medications that have caffeine in them
- antihistamines
- cold medications
- steroids
- sleeping tablets used for insomnia ultimately lead to dependence and completely disrupt your sleep rhythms.
4. Exercise helps you sleep better
Studies have shown that exercise proves to be a healthy, safe, inexpensive and simple means of improving sleep. However limit physical activity to morning and afternoon, since evening exercise can make you feel alert rather then sleepy.
5. Hot water bottle to warm the belly area.
6. Get a message or stretch before bed to nice quiet music.
7. Write down your worries. When I am consumed with a worry I write it down. Here are guidelines for my journaling which I hope you find helpful;
- I don't analyze, question or filter what I write. I write down any and all thoughts that come out. There is nothing politically correct here. This is for my eyes only. It's about getting it out of my head and onto paper so the truth comes out.
- I write until I get an answer. There is no time limit! I write until the issue is complete. I know it is complete because I have a sense of relief, excitement, peace or even laughter, depending on the situation. Give it a go.
8. Herbal Therapies.
- Try 300-600mg or 320-480 mg 1hour before bed.
- Chamomile tea
9. Melatonin is a hormone produced by your pineal gland in your brain. In a study done in the Journal of Circadian Rhythms, they evaluated 86 shift work nurses with . When one group took 5 mg of melatonin 30 minutes before bed, their insomnia significantly decreased and improved sleep quality compared to the placebo group.
10. Take 200-400 mg Magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate before bed. This relaxes the nervous system and muscles. If you tend to get constipation use magnesium citrate. If your tendency is to have loose bowel movements then magnesium glycinate if best for you.
The goal is to get into the healthy habit of a good deep . You will be amazed at how fresh and alive you will feel when you wake up .
Sleep well.

Hello Healthy Team;
How would you like to learn how to sleep better and lose weight? Great, that is what we are going to focus on: Good Sleep Hygiene with resultant weight loss. Yipee!
Before we start we need to have a quick hormone class. Hormones are the messengers in your body. We will focus on two called and Insulin.
Ghrelin: is your hunger hormone. It tells you when you are hungry.
Insulin: does 2 things.
- It stores fat (especially in the central part of your body, lovingly called / back fat or veranda's).
- Helps sugar into your brain and other parts of your body for quick energy.
Ok , let's begin. increases your appetite and sugar cravings. How you ask? Your body becomes stressed when you don't get enough sleep. Ideally, we need 7-9 hours /night of uninterrupted sleep. If we get less then that, then ghrelin increases and we eat more.
In a study done of young men who were deprived of only 2 hours of sleep , their blood levels of ghrelin were increased and they ended up eating more sweet foods. As a result of the increase sugar in your body then insulin comes on board and we store it as belly fat.
In summary : Sleep deprivation > body feels stressed > levels of ghrelin increase > causes us to eat more sweets > then insulin levels increase > and Voila….we have more belly fat and back fat. Pretty Amazing wouldn't you agree?
That is why sleep is important not only for our sanity but also to keep us from gaining weight.
Do you prioritize quality sleep?
In medical trainning, I remember we believed MD stood for Medical Diety. As a result, we boasted about functioning without much sleep. 36 hours on hospital duty with maybe 2-5 hours of interupted sleep. By the end of the first year of hospital training, we all had more belly and back fat. Now it all makes sense.
What can you do to get enough quality sleep and recharge your energy levels?
1. Plan a good night sleep:
- Go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day.
- Have room dark and cool. Consider eye shades and ear plugs.
- Power down 1 hour before going to sleep. Instead of drinking a wine or watching TV to calm yourself down try doing things like getting lunches ready , clothes sorted for next day. No texting, email or computer work during this time…it is too stimulating.
- Use your bed for sleep and romancing. Hence, no book reading or TV watching in bed.
- No food 3 hours before bed. Eating a heavy meal before bed will disrupt your sleep.
- No gadgets in the bedroom.
- Remove all cellphones ,computers and TV's from room. They cause poor sleep habits.
2. Naps
- Studies indicate a nap less than 30 minutes is o.k. It promotes wakefulness, improves learning ability, and enhances performance.
Well I have to go now and take my nap. I will be back soon for Part 2. zzzzzz

We all know and love her from her wildly popular blog, Big Mama. She also rocks the stage (along with Boo Mama) as one of the emcees for LifeWay's dotMOM events. Now, come February, her first book will hit the shelves and you will not want to miss it!
Today, Melanie answers some of the questions that our readers have been dying to ask.
Question 1 from Kristina in Franklin, TN: What is the most challenging part of motherhood for you?
I think the most challenging part of motherhood is almost everything. But if I had to narrow it down I think it's adjusting to each new stage. I always feel like just when I have figured out how to handle a situation or deal with a certain issue then it all changes and I'm faced with a whole new problem.
And I also think it's a challenge to remember I'm not raising a miniature version of myself. I can't expect her to act like me or respond like me to everything. She has her own thoughts and dreams and fears.
Question 2 from Sarah in Charleston, SC: What has been your biggest fashion faux pas?
I once wore a leopard print body suit (think snaps like a baby's onesie) with denim shorts to the zoo.
I don't think any further explanation is necessary. Just say no to theme dressing.
Question 3 from @TalesofaPeanut: What is the best advice you have given or received on parenting pre-school/elementary age kids?
Well, I rarely give advice unless you count when I tell Caroline not to lick the bottom of her shoe or to touch gum that's under a table at a restaurant.
But the best advice I've ever been given is to pick your battles. As moms we have to say no so often that it's important to focus on the things we can say yes to and not make our kids feel like they're losing every battle. That's why Caroline hasn't brushed her hair since noon yesterday. In the whole scheme of life it just doesn't matter.
Unless it's a Sunday morning and we're going to church.
Question 4 from Sophie in Birmingham, AL: Assume Jackie Sherrill & Kevin Sumlin both want to go hunting for the weekend with your family. You can only pick one. Who wins?
This is like choosing if I'd prefer to have my eyes or my legs. I have a deep and abiding love for both Jackie Sherrill and Kevin Sumlin. But I think I'd have to go with Kevin Sumlin. He is the future of Aggie football and what he has done with our program in one year is nothing short of amazing.
Plus, he appears to have charisma for days. I bet he knows how to make a good S'more too, which is an essential hunting weekend item.
Question 5 from Kristina in Franklin, TN: Caramel,cheese or regular popcorn?
None of the above. I am a kettle corn kind of girl. And I make it on my stove with a ¼ cup of sugar and some kosher salt sprinkled on it. DELICIOUS.
It just doesn't feel natural for popcorn to taste like cheese.
Question 6: When is your new book going to be released and will you go on a book tour?
Sparkly Green Earrings comes out on February 8. It still doesn't seem real.
And, sadly, there will be no official book tour unless you count the twos of places I'll be signing books which will be in Houston and San Antonio. Oh, and I'll also be signing books at Dot Mom in Dallas on February 22-23.
Question 7: What kind of dates do you go on with your husband?
We usually just go out for dinner somewhere. This works for us because we both enjoy eating and we rarely agree on what constitutes a good movie. So we enjoy a nice dinner and catch up on life and discuss our thoughts and dreams and whether or not we need a new mattress or hot water heater.
It's very glamorous. I hope you're not jealous.
Don't forget to leave a comment on this blog post for a chance to win two tickets to the dotMOM event in February and see Melanie in person!!

Hope Jennifer Lopez comes back to America Idol next year and forever. She is one of the most beautiful, smart and kind person to be a judge to the young contestants.
