Van's PBA Summer Swing Experience 1 - PBA Badger Open from AMF Waukesha
by Van McNeil
posted Jun 11 2013 2:50PM
A few weeks ago I thought it would be a good idea to try and compete against the, "Greatest Bowlers in the World" at AMF Waukesha Lanes in the
GEICO / PBA Summer Swing!
I wish I could be saying, "Hey! Watch for me tonight on the CBS Sports Network as I make my Pro Bowler debut on Lucas Oil Badger Open!", but sadly, I didn't make the cut. Didn't even come close! Though the 5 guys above did and will compete for the top spot starting
TONIGHT at 6pm on CBS Sports Network. Don't know what channel? Click here to find out!
So what IS it like competing again the, "Greatest Bowlers in the World"? Lemme tell you, I worked so hard on the physical game that my mental game almost fell by the wayside.
PODCAST / LISTEN: You can hear an ENTIRE recap of my experience in the season finale of the Spare/Time Bowling Show...click here.
Bowling with the big names? No problem! Walter Ray Willimas Jr. politely telling me to, "JUST BOWL!" when I was taking to long, I can handle that. Missing spares though, is the death of not just me, but any bowler out there! And when you miss a spare against the big dogs, you're just giving away pins and you keep digging yourself into a hole, a hole that gets big fast if you're not paying attention!
In the end, I took
82nd out of 84th
! Took lots away from this first tournament and got ready to do it all again a few days later for the GEICO / PBA Summer Swing Lucas Oil Wolf Open at AMF West Lanes. I'll bring that to you next week before the next telecast!

The cumin flavor came through a little more than I'd like--so will use less next time. But everyone liked the chili a lot.
Nutritional Facts for the Turkey Chili II are great however a serving size like you see on nutritional facts on containers would be most helpful. Yes is says serves 6 but then you need to quantify how much chili you have in your pot and measure out 6 servings to determine the portion size.
Can anyone offer this info.

'The Interview': James Franco may star in Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's next movie
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have not yet released their first movie, "This Is The End," but they already another film lined up. It's called "The Interview," and Rogen will also star in it for Columbia Pictures.
The Hollywood Reporter has learned, Rogen and Goldberg wrote the story for "The Interview" with "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart's" Dan Sterling and will produce the film as well. In addition, James Franco is being considered for a lead role, though talks with him have not started yet.
Franco and Rogen have been an onscreen pair since they starred together in "Freaks and Geeks," famously teaming up in "Pineapple Express" as well as in the upcoming "This Is the End" and, briefly, in "The Green Hornet." It wouldn't be much of a stretch to see Franco agree to star in "The Interview" for Rogen's sake despite his very busy schedule.
According to THR, "The Interview" is a "topical comedy" that follows a "handsome talk show host (potentially Franco) and his producer (Rogen) who find themselves in way over their heads when they get involved in a plot to assassinate the prime minister of North Korea."

Election Rules Are Changing
It's been awhile since we've heard of changes to voting in Wisconsin....until now. The Government Accountability Board has unanimously approved some restrictions for poll observers who stand near polling sites. La Crosse County Clerk, Ginny Denkmeyer says Wisconsin's polling places are becoming more accessible and they can pose problems.
The GAB approval of the a rule to keep poll observers at least six feet from voters now goes to the legislature.

A healthy diet with plenty of water is the foundation for good health, regardless of whether or not you have PD. However, for those with PD, it is even more important. The reason why it is so critical for those with PD is that healthy eating can help keep your bones strong, thus decreasing the likelihood of a fracture if you fall. It also helps you fight constipation, which is common with PD.

National League Preview from The Sports Network
Tuesday, June 5th (All times eastern)
New York Mets (31-24) at Washington Nationals (30-22), 7:05 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: New York - Chris Young (0-0, 0.00) Washington - Jordan Zimmermann (3-5, 2.80)
(Sports Network) - Pitching defined the Mets most recent series. Set to make his first start in over a year, veteran Chris Young hopes to get into the act this evening when New York kicks off a three-game series with the Washington Nationals.
Young slides into the Mets' streaking rotation having not started since May 1 of last year due to right shoulder surgery. The injury limited the 33-year-old to just four starts with New York a season ago and he had put up impressive numbers (1-0, 1.88 earned run average) before getting sidelined.
Young went 1-0 with a 2.35 ERA in four minor league rehab starts, most recently tossing six scoreless innings on Thursday with Triple-A Buffalo.
"I went to Buffalo and I felt good," Young told the Mets' website. "The results were good. The swings, to me, indicated that I could pitch at the next level. To me, that's what I really wanted to see."
The right-hander has faced the Nationals six times prior in his career and has posted a mark of 3-1 with a 2.63 ERA.
The Nationals counter with a right-hander who is capable of putting together dominating outings, though Jordan Zimmermann has struggled to do that as of late. The right-hander pitched to a 1.33 ERA over his first four starts of 2012, but has allowed at least three runs in four of six outings since.
Zimmermann felt two pitches cost him in last Monday's loss at the Marlins. Though he hit his first career homer, Zimmermann gave up four runs on eight hits over six frames of work.
Three of those runs came during a deciding sixth frame as he gave up a single to Hanley Ramirez before Giancarlo Stanton hammered a home run. Logan Morrison had earlier taken Zimmermann deep, but the 26-year-old wasn't as down on that offering.
"Two pitches is what it comes down to for me," said Zimmermann. "The one to Morrison early, the solo home run, I wasn't too worried about that, it was a pretty decent pitch. He was trying to ambush me and then got the barrel out there. But the one to Stanton and then the one Hanley (Ramirez) kind of, you know, two bad pitches and it cost me the game."
Zimmermann fell to 3-5 with a 2.80 ERA in 10 starts this season and is still looking for his first home win of 2012, having gone 0-3 with a 3.34 ERA in his previous five at Nationals Park.
In seven career meetings with the Mets, the former second-round pick is 2-2 with a 3.65 ERA.
New York took the first three games of its four-game series with the Cardinals thanks to outstanding starting pitching. Johan Santana threw the first no- hitter in Mets history to win Friday's opener, R.A. Dickey followed that outing up with a shutout and Jon Niese struck out a career-high 10 batters in Sunday's triumph.
That set the bar pretty high for Dillon Gee in Monday's finale and he was decent over seven innings, giving up three runs -- two earned -- and striking out eight. However, the Cardinals got to the Mets' bullpen and handed the National League East residents a 5-4 setback.
"You want to come back and follow it up with the same kind of performance, but again, I didn't, but I felt like I pitched well," stated Gee. "I feel good about the outing I had."
Scott Hairston hit a two-run homer and Lucas Duda added a solo shot for the Mets, who lost for just the third time in 10 games but also fell a half-game behind the Nationals and Marlins for first place in the division.'
David Wright scored the 735th run of his Mets career in Monday's defeat, tying him with Jose Reyes for first place on the club's all-time list.
The Nationals come into this series with some extra rest, having enjoyed an off day on Monday after wrapping up a rain-shortened two-game set with the Braves on Sunday. Washington split the quick series, dropping Sunday's finale 3-2.
Steve Lombardozzi and Bryce Harper staked starter Gio Gonzalez to an early lead with solo homers, but the hurler allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks over 4 2/3 frames of work.
"I thought he had pretty good stuff, but his command was off," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "He really couldn't get the ball in and wasn't using the inside part of the plate. It's a rare occasion where he doesn't have good command and today was one of them."
Washington has won six of its past seven versus New York.

The side effects from chemotherapy usually go away when the treatment ends. The extent of these side effects varies. It depends on the drugs you receive, how you receive them, and how your body reacts to them. Talk with your doctor or nurse about how to ease these side effects.
Here are some of the more common temporary side effects from chemotherapy:
Nausea and vomiting
Mouth sores
Constipation or diarrhea
Hair loss
Infections from low white blood cell counts
Easy bruising or bleeding from low blood platelets
Fatigue from low red blood cell counts
Loss of appetite
Skin changes, such as dryness, rash, blistering, or darkening skin
Tingling, numbness, or swelling in hands or feet
It's likely that you will have blood tests while you're getting chemotherapy to make sure you aren't having harmful reactions. Make sure you ask which signs, if any, require calling your doctor or nurse right away. For instance, chemotherapy can make you more likely to get infections. Your doctor or nurse may advise you to call them if you have any of these symptoms:
Sore throat
Shaking chills
Redness, swelling, and warmth at the site of an injury
New cough or shortness of breath
Nasal congestion
Burning during urination
It may be helpful to keep a log of your side effect symptoms. That would include physical, cognitive, and emotional changes. A written list will make it easier for you to remember your questions when you go to your appointments. It will also make it much easier for your medical team to identify appropriate interventions for your side effects.

The regional average score for Cluster C was stable at 3.2 in 2013. The CPIA human development score rose steadily in recent years—from 3.3 in 2009 to 3.5 in 2013—reflecting strides in both health and education. Overall, progress in building human resources is comparable to that in other regions. Substantial improvement in the quality of human resources in fragile countries moved their average score closer to that of fragile states in other regions.

Streaming music for smart phones

Verizon serves up Chocolate phoneJuly 31, 2006
Rokr iTunes phone, iPod Nano unveiledSeptember 7, 2005
Digital music is going mobileJuly 26, 2005
(continued from previous page)
Mercora can stream music to phones operating on 3G and higher mobile networks, like Edge, EVDO, HSPDA and Wi-Fi. Ghose says phone carriers are looking for more "consumer-friendly applications" that will enable sharing of information, like pictures, videos and music.
The NPD Group's Neil Strother says that though the concept is interesting, it's unclear how practical a service like M would be for wireless carriers that provide wireless phone service.
"I don't know if carriers are going to like that. They might think, 'That's a drag on our bandwidth.'"
Mercora's Ghose said he isn't concerned about that, as M would transfer music files at 56 kilobits per second, which takes up less space on a network than video at 200 to 300 Kbps. And, he added, many smart-phone customers have unlimited data plans provided by their employer.
Strother countered that that's not an open invitation by carriers to clog up the bandwidth with huge files 24 hours a day.
American consumers' love affair with their iPods might be hard to disentangle, as might their perceived reticence toward listening to music and making calls on the same device. But Sampath says he sees Americans coming around and catching up to their European counterparts.
"The next generation of music players is going to be a phone. It's not going to be a dedicated device," he said. Indeed, retail trends seem to back him up, as more people are buying music-enabled phones. From the second quarter in 2005 to the same quarter in 2006, music-enabled phones grew from 7 percent of all phones sold to 19 percent, according to The NPD Group. But owning a phone capable of playing music doesn't mean users necessarily take advantage of that feature, said Strother, NPD's research director for mobile devices.
Motorola and Apple's music phone, the Rokr, failed because of poor strategy, according to Sampath. The Rokr could be synced with an iTunes playlist, but was limited to about 100 songs, which isn't feasible in a world where playlists can reach into the thousands.
"Consumers are smart," he said. "You can't give them some lame device and call it a music phone."
The LG Chocolate attempts to solve the Rokr's space problem by including a Micro SD card slot, allowing for 2GB worth of songs to be plugged in. While a phone's battery would run out long before that size playlist in that situation, it's still too much fuss for casual users who just want to hear their music when they want it, according to Doherty.
"Someone who is PC-savvy will put (a data card) in, but that takes several minutes. It's not something I'm going to do as I'm racing into Manhattan for a meeting," he said.
Strother, for his part, believes "music-enabled phones are here and they're coming in a pretty big way. I think (Mercora is) going to have a crowded market, not now, but in the next six to 12 months. The (LG) Chocolate phone is just starting to get out there. A lot of non-smart phones have MP3 players in them. The storage issue isn't necessarily going away, but you're beginning to see mid-tier phones starting to have data cards."
Strother said he's not a big believer in the myth of an "iPod killer" coming out anytime soon. He says that growth in music phones "doesn't start to cannibalize iPods as much as grow the pie. The iPod's not going to go away that quickly."

- Will fail
- First problem is that most (if not all) smartphones will not allow you to receive a call while you are connected to a data network. So if you're streaming music with Mercora and someone calls, you get a busy signal. If I'm playing music with local songs on a storage card I can receive phone calls.
Plus who want to pay for this service? For $50 I can buy a 2GB storage card and larger capacities are available. Plus you can buy more than one storage card to carry around, they are tiny so the 2GB is too small argument carries no weight (literally) when you can carry as many storage cards with you as you want.

- RE: Will fail
- actually, this isn't quite true.
when an incoming call comes in on a WM5.0 phone, the music stops and the call is announced. the user can then decide whether to pick up or ignore the call.
secondly, of course you can carry as many storage cards as you want, but not everyone will want to do this. also, cards don't give you access to all of the internet radio stations.

- Why do it at all...
- on your cell phone?
When the car breaks down or you need to reach the baby sitter or dial 911, your battery will be dead from listening to music on a third rate unit, when you could have been listening on a decent player, using up the player's battery and saving your phone for, of all things, calling someone!

- "Apple uses a proprietary format called AAC, which Mercora M can't play."
AAC IS NOT a proprietary format. It's an open format. Apple's Fairplay DRM which is wrapped around files purchased from the iTunes music store is proprietary!
You think that by now everyone would know this.

Final Score: Buffalo 16, NY Jets 13 (OT)
East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - After missing the potential game- winning field goal at the end of regulation, Rian Lindell snuck a 47-yard field goal just inside the right upright with 2:44 remaining in overtime to give the Buffalo Bills a 16-13 victory over the New York Jets in a battle between these two AFC East foes.
Paul Posluszny's pick of a Mark Sanchez pass with 6:25 to go in the extra session set up the Bills at their own 42. Later, on a 1st-and-10 at the Jets 33, Ryan Fitzpatrick connected with Lee Evans on a 29-yard pass. The play was reversed after it was determined Evans bobbled the ball before going out of bounds. Three plays and four yards later, Lindell booted the game-winning field goal.
Starting quarterback Trent Edwards completed each of his five passes for 43 yards before leaving the game early in the second with a head injury. Fitzpatrick took over and connected on 10-of-25 passes for 116 yards, a TD, and an interception for the Bills (2-4), who snapped a three-game skid. Evans caught four passes for 68 yards and a score for Buffalo, which came back from a 13-3 deficit.
"He stepped in and he's been someone we have always talked to throughout the course of the week, throughout the course of the game.?He stepped in calm, poised and didn't miss a beat," Evans said of Fitzpatrick.
Thomas Jones rushed for a franchise single-game record 210 yards and a score on 22 carries for the Jets (3-3), who have now lost three in a row. Sanchez connected on 10-of-29 passes for 119 yards and five interceptions in defeat.
The Jets started at their own 15 after receiving the ball to begin the overtime session. A Braylon Edwards 22-yard reception and a 33-yard Leon Washington run put New York in field goal range and the field goal unit was sent in on 4th-and-13 at the 32-yard line. But, a bad snap forced holder Steve Weatherford to attempt a throw, which fell incomplete.
After a series of punts, Fitzpatrick threw what could have been a costly interception. However, the Buffalo defense came up huge. On 3rd-and-10 at the Jets' 46, Sanchez dropped back and threw a bad pass that Posluszny collected, leading to the winning possession.
"Obviously, you're not going to win too many games when you throw five picks. I thought about pulling him, but I still believe in him.? He bounced back and we had some balls that were catchable that were dropped," said Jets head coach Rex Ryan of Sanchez's rocky outing. "You know, I thought momentum was headed our way and it just never happened.? I still think he gives us the best chance to win and he'll remain our quarterback."
The Bills scored during their first possession of the game to take an early 3-0 edge as Lindell's 33-yard field goal capped a 10-play drive.
New York responded with a 14-play, 75-yard drive to tie the contest. A 25-yard run by Washington helped set up a 23-yard Jay Feely field goal with 35 seconds left in the first.
Buffalo punted after failing to take advantage of a Jairus Byrd interception early in the second and the Jets took over on their own nine-yard line. Jones' 64-yard run on first down set up New York at the Bills' 20 and Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal for a 6-3 edge.
On the second play of the next Jets drive, Jones scampered 71 yards into the end zone for a 13-3 lead with 7:31 remaining. Feely missed a 44-yard field goal at the end of the half to keep it a 10-point game.
New York turned the ball over on its first possession of the third, as Sanchez was picked off by George Wilson at the Jets 43. Buffalo drove down to the seven-yard line, but had to settle for a 25-yard Lindell field goal to cut the gap to 13-6 with 7:45 on the clock.
"I don't know if we did confuse him, you'd have to ask him that," said Bills head coach Dick Jauron of his team picking off five Sanchez passes. "I'm just happy we got them.?Anytime you can win the turnover battle...you stand a great chance of winning it...the percentages are really with you."
On the ensuing Jets possession, Byrd intercepted a Sanchez pass and returned it 10 yards to the Buffalo 36. Fitzpatrick threw an interception to Lito Sheppard on third down, but Sheppard was flagged for illegal contact on the play which gave Buffalo a first down.
Buffalo capitalized on its near-mistake by scoring the game-tying TD. Facing a 3rd-and-7 at the Jets' 37, Fitzpatrick hit Evans with a perfect pass at the about the 30. Evans sprinted untouched down the middle of the field and into the end zone, tying the game at 13 with 2:30 to go in the third.
Following another Sanchez interception and a series of punts, the Bills took over at the New York 49 with 3:55 remaining in the fourth. Fitzpatrick took a QB sneak two yards for a fresh set of downs on 3rd-and-1 at the New York 28. Two plays later, Lindell set up for a 46-yard field goal with four seconds left -- but the kick sailed wide right and the contest went into overtime.
Game Notes
The Bills lead the all-time regular season series with the Jets by a 53-44 count, but were swept by their longtime division rival in a 2008 home-and- home...New York plays at Oakland next Sunday, while Buffalo travels to Carolina....James Ihedigbo was ejected from the game after being called for unnecessary roughness in OT...Bills LB Chris Draft posted his first sack as a Bill and first sack since December 12, 2007 vs. Atlanta (with the Rams)...The Bills had played 96 consecutive games without going into overtime, which was the longest active streak in the NFL...The last time the Bills recorded six interceptions was on December 9, 1967 at Boston...Evans posted his 34th career TD reception -- is now tied with Bob Chandler for 4th place on team's all-time TD reception list...Byrd is the first Bills rookie to post three interceptions in season since Nate Clements in 2001...Jones becomes only the third player in franchise history to gain 200 rushing yards in a game, joining Curtis Martin and Freeman McNeil...Jets tackle Kris Jenkins left in the second quarter with an injured left knee...Jones' 71-yard TD run is the fifth-longest in team history.

Trends in Foodborne Illness in the United States,
Documenting trends in foodborne illness—which illnesses are decreasing and which are increasing—is essential to the overall goal of reducing foodborne illness. FoodNet has been tracking trends in the most common infections transmitted through food since 1996.
Each year, FoodNet reports on the changes in the number of people in the United States sickened with foodborne infections that have been confirmed by laboratory tests. This annual report card also lets CDC, its partners, and policy makers know how much progress has made in reaching national goals for reducing foodborne illness.
Highlights of the 2012 FoodNet Data
Data from FoodNet, which monitors 15% of the US population, provide the best measure of trends in foodborne disease in the United States. Overall, the 2012 FoodNet data showed a lack of recent progress in reducing foodborne infections and highlight the need for improved prevention.
- FoodNet identified 19,531 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection.
- The incidences of laboratory-confirmed Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 and non-O157, Shigella, and Yersinia infection were highest among children aged <5 years.
- The incidences of Listeria and Vibrio infection were highest in adults aged ≥65 years.
- The incidences of laboratory-confirmed Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157, and Yersinia infection did not change significantly in 2012 compared with 2006–2008.
- Campylobacter was the second most common infection reported in FoodNet (14.3 cases reported per 100,000 population). Incidence of infection was 14% higher in 2012 compared with 2006–2008.
- Campylobacter infections are usually self-limited, but may result in severe complications such as Guillain-Barré syndrome (a type of paralysis) and arthritis.
- Exposures related to Campylobacter infection include consumption of undercooked poultry, raw milk, produce, and untreated water, and contact with young animals.
- Vibrio infections are rare (0.41 cases reported per 100,000 population). Incidence of Vibrio infection was 43% higher in 2012 compared with 2006–2008.
- Some types of Vibrio infections are often serious.
- Many Vibrio infections are acquired by eating raw oysters. These infections are most common during warmer months, when waters naturally contain more Vibrio organisms.
- Infections can be prevented by thoroughly cooking oysters and by not exposing wounds to bodies of warm seawater.
- As a group, the incidence of infection with six key pathogens transmitted commonly through food (Campylobacter, Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli O157, Vibrio, and Yersinia) was not significantly different in 2012 than in 2006–2008.
Long-term Trends
Comparison with the first three years of FoodNet surveillance (1996–1998) shows some clear changes:
- The incidence of infections caused by Campylobacter, Listeria, STEC O157, Shigella, and Yersinia has declined, mostly in the first few years.
- The overall incidence of Salmonella was unchanged, but the incidence of some types of Salmonella have increased while others have decreased.
- The incidence of Vibrio infection is now 116% higher.
- The overall incidence of infection with six key foodborne pathogens (Campylobacter, Listeria, Salmonella, STEC O157, Vibrio, and Yersinia) was 22% lower.
Recent Efforts and Next Steps
Most foodborne illnesses can be prevented. Some progress has been made in decreasing contamination of some foods and reducing illness caused by some pathogens. Recent efforts to reduce contamination of food and prevent these illnesses include:
- Establishment in 2011 of performance standards for Campylobacter contamination of whole broiler chickens in processing plants.
- Approval of more stringent time and temperature controls for oysters after harvest to prevent Vibrio vulnificus infections.
- The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011: It gives FDA additional authority to regulate food facilities, establish standards for safe produce, recall contaminated foods, oversee imported foods, and which requires improvements in surveillance and response to outbreaks. It calls on CDC to strengthen surveillance and outbreak response.
More can be done. Determining where to target prevention efforts that will reduce foodborne infections requires continued collection of information to understand sources of infection, implementation of measures known to reduce food contamination, and development of new measures.

The Vampire Diaries
Phoebe Tonkin Is Sick as a Dog: Vampire Diaries Sad Pic of the Day
Poor Phoebe Tonkin (Hayley). The Australian beauty is down and under the weather!
The newcomer on The Vampire Diaries tweeted a photo of herself from her Australian home, writing, "Sick as a dog with my dog." Aw! On October 28, Phoebe described her current state as "that of a dying crow." That sounds horrid!
Hopefully a few days of cuddling her puppy and drinking all things green will make it all better.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lady1 Showstopper! I purchased this dress in black xs. Being 5'!" The strings hit me a couple of inches above my ankles. I wore a long sleeve black off one shoulder top along with black leggings and black ankle boots. I topped it off with a wine and gray stripped FP beanie. It was a stinking cute outfit!!! Thanks FP for all your creative clothes! I am soooo glad I purchased it 10.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gkalika Beautiful and very comfortable Got this dress in black and now ordering in white as well. It fits great with strapless bra. Very comfortable. Took it in slightly on the sides to make it more fitted and it looks great. 3.11.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by lozatronic Love the Style, but quality for price was poor Was torn as to whether to give this a three or a four. I really love the style that would get a 5, but in the pic it looks really elegant and for the price I was expecting high quality fabrics and finish, but was really disappointed to find the the fasteners at the back were hanging on by a thread and the under slip to be a poor quality basic slip fabric that creases really easily and stays creased with poor quality seams.Given i'm in the UK it's a long way to return it. Just expected something better than what I opened, did feel disappointed, but perhaps i'll get over it once i've had a chance to wear it.. far too cold here at moment! ;-) 2.10.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by wolfiestrutt Dress it up or down! This is a great layering piece I could see being dressed up or down. The fringe adds a unique edge! I have plans to wear this with a torn concert shirt, a belt, and boots for summer festivals! 2.1.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Its___Lin So cute!! Bought this dress for my bday and I cant wait to wear it! It runs a little large in the bust, I ordered a Large because I'm a little busty, but I think the Medium would have been too small so I may have it taken in a little. Other than that, this dress is perfect! 1.27.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cdave Fancy, fancy This dress is killer! I got it in a small which is typical for my sizing in most FP dresses and it fits perfectly except for the straps were a tad long. I had them hemmed a bit so that it wasn't totally revealing in the chest. Besides that quick fix it was perfect! I wore this dress on a recent trip to NYC with suede heeled black boots and a cute jacket over it and I got tons of compliments. Its a very sexy dress and can be worn by itself or with a leather jacket lets say for an edgier look. I think that this piece will be a wonderful edition to my wardrobe! 12.19.2013

Least painful way to commit suicide
Question Posted Wednesday June 2 2010, 11:19 pm
I am considering committing suicide and killing myself. I am need of easy suicide methods that are relatively painless so I do not suffer any more than required for death. I am in a bad situation in my life. I did some very bad things that cannot be forgiven. I figured it was best to commit suicide now before I make any more bonds with my surrounding community members. I live alone, am not married, and have no children to leave or hurt by my death. I found this site and felt it may be helpful in getting my deserved rest from this world. I do not want to continue to make mistakes in my life and dying will prevent me from doing wrong again.
Please, help me.

No one on this site will give you an answer to the question you have asked. Suicide is never an answer whatever the problem is whatever you may have done or think you may have done there is a way to make it right, make up for it or fix it. Suicide does not fix anything it just adds to the hurt.
If you are feeling suicidal at this time call 911 NOW or go to the nearest hospital Emergency Room for help.
Suicide is not the answer to your problem(s). If you have not already done so I would like you to call the National Suicide hot line. There number is: 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

There is no painless way to commit suicide.
Sure, you might find a method that won't physically injure you. Thing is, it will hurt everyone wh ohas ever known you; every family member, every friend, every co-worker. Suicide is an aggressive act that hurts everyone around you more than it hurts you.
If you want a rest, take one. Save as much as you can and go on a vacation somewhere across the world. Go on a working vacation somewhere new. Get away from your world.
I have seriously attempted to commit suicide before. I live with mental illness, and have for my entire life. I know as much as anyone can that life can be absolute hell. I've done bad things, things that have hurt people. I've made mistakes. We all have. Thing is, you can't run away from your mistakes by dying, because you leave the effects behind.
You need to seek help. You need to find a counselor of some sort, either a social worker or a religious counselor, whichever you prefer. You need to get your dark secrets out in the open and to work on rectifying any wrong you've done. You also need to learn that you're not a terrible person. That was one of the hardest lessons for me. A counselor can help to assess whether you need to get in contact with a psychologist or a psychiatrist so that you can be medicated if need be.
Just like when alcoholics are in recovery, I felt the need to apologize to everyone I had hurt while I was in my bad places. I apologized to old friends I had hurt, to family members, to myself. Tears ran down my face, and it was the hardest thing I'd ever done, but their forgiveness helped me to feel like maybe I wasn't a terrible person.
It's hard. I'm not going to lie. Life is hard, you make mistakes, things go horribly wrong. You can make life what you want it to be, though. You get out of life what you put into it. Start volunteering, and help make someone's day. Or you could start small, with just smiling at someone on the sidewalk.
Find joy in the little things: a pretty flower, a delicious meal, a beautiful sunny day, a happy puppy. Every tiny little thing that you find joy in is another reason to stay alive. When I have trouble doing this, I go to this website. It's been a big help, oddly enough:
Remember that you are a worthwhile person. You can do good in this world. Get out there and do some!

Here on advicenators we are not aloud to give advice on how to kill yourself an plus I think it's stupid to commit suicide it's taking the cowards way out. If you did bad things then ask for forgiveness even if you think it's unforgivable. Atleast try to make it better before you even concider doing what you are doing. If you are afraid of doing wrong to your community members then go see a theripest and try to work things out. Look at the cycle of day and night you see at night the dorkness or a point of bad time in your life, but keep waiting and try to make everything better, then you will see the light of day. You can also think of it like a roller coaster; when you're going up, the coaster has to work to get up there, you have to do the same you have to work to get to the point of you being forgiven. You do have people that would miss you, for example, your parents, just because you made a mistake doesn't mean that they will stop loving and caring for you no matter how big the mistake. So yes you do have people to hurt if you kill yourself. Turn to God and repent for the sins commited. Pray for his love and pray for his help and forgiveness. I'm sure you're not such a bad person, as a person you are probably great, but you just made some bad descisions. There aren't bad people just bad choices. So make the right choice and ask the community paster to help guide you to the Lord and to help you ask him for forgiveness.
Hope I helped

Site: Evanston, Ill. (Welsh-Ryan Arena)
Score: No. 16 Northwestern 25, No. 12 Wisconsin 13
Records: NU (17-2, 5-2 Big Ten), Wisconsin (9-5-1, 0-4-1 Big Ten)
Next NU Event: Saturday, Feb. 19 at Ohio State ? Columbus, Ohio ? 2 p.m. CT
EVANSTON, Ill. -- With seniors Brandon Precin (125), Andrew Nadhir (149) and Aaron Jones (184) all winning in their final home dual match, No. 16 Northwestern claimed victories in six of 10 bouts to continue its strong Big Ten dual season and defeat No. 12 Wisconsin, 25-13, Friday in Evanston.
The surging Wildcats -- who finished with an 8-1 home record in 2010-11 -- are 17-2 overall and 5-2 in the Big Ten entering its final dual match of the year, a road test at Ohio State on Feb 19. NU will then return to Welsh-Ryan Arena to host the 2011 Big Ten Championships March 5-6.
"I like the progress that we're making, we're continuing to build with the goal of peaking at the Big Ten Championships and NCAAs," said head coach Drew Pariano. "Even though we'll be wrestling at home again in March this was an important night for a lot of our seniors and we wanted to take care of business. For (Andrew) Nadhir to come back and beat a Big Ten opponent after losing to him earlier in the year, for the second time this season no less, says a lot about his determination and ability to improve. The leadership that he, (Brandon) Precin and Bobby Joyce have provided as captains this year is the reason we are where we are right now."
Nadhir came away with an impressive 8-4 decision over eighth-ranked Cole Schmitt on his Senior Night, while Precin helped Northwestern rebound from an early 7-0 deficit with a pin in under 90 seconds at 125 pounds.
Friday's match kicked off at 197 pounds where NU junior John Schoen was tasked with facing the nation's No. 2-ranked 197-pounder, Trevor Brandvold. Two first-period takedowns for Brandvold helped him to a 4-2 lead when Schoen was in on a leg nearing a takedown that could have changed the match's momentum, but Brandvold was able to force a stalemate. Brandvold began to roll in the second period, taking an 11-4 lead into the third and ultimately winning by 14-5 major decision.
Taking on 11th-ranked Eric Bugenhagen, heavyweight Ben Kuhar fell behind 5-0 with backpoints by the Badger in the opening minute but was still within striking distance, down 5-2, after two periods. But Bugenhagen scored twice and had riding time to his credit, which left him looking for a major decision late in the match. Kuhar staved off his attempts, eventually falling by 9-3 decision as Wisconsin gained a 7-0 lead in the team score.
Back down at 125, Precin (27-1) scored an immediate two and began working for back points, but chose to cut Tom Kelliher in search of more takedowns. He had his next '2' only seconds later and quickly tilted Kelliher, finishing his last dual match in Welsh-Ryan Arena in style and bringing his team to within a point on the scoreboard.
At 133 pounds, Levi Mele tested himself against All-American and third-ranked Tyler Graff, working hard for his escapes to find himself trailing only 8-5 late in the third. Mele rode Graff well on top in the third period and nearly erased the Badgers' riding time, but Graff broke free with his extra point still secured. Mele continued to battle but couldn't score on offense, falling by 10-5 decision.
Looking to give his team a boost entering the intermission, freshman Kaleb Friedley used a first-period takedown and second-period reversal to gain a 4-0 edge on Danny Arnel. Late in the second, Arnel managed to get a hold of Friedley's leg but Friedley was able to turn it around for a `2' in his favor just as the period horn sounded.
After that, Friedley turned his attention to winning with bonus points, notching two takedowns in less than 15 seconds to take a 10-3 lead with riding time in his favor. That remained the margin through the whistle as the 'Cats evened the score at the intermission.
The marquee matchup of the night came immediately after the break when Nadhir met Schmitt looking to avenge a loss to the Badger at the 2010 Midlands Championships earlier this year. Nadhir got on the board first with a takedown in the first period and made it 3-0 when he escaped to start the second. But Schmitt responded to tie the match at the outset of the third and set up a frantic finish. Nadhir was strong in eluding what seemed like a sure `2' for the Badger and managed to gain control out of the scramble for his two. Nadhir then worked diligently to gain his riding time edge and, following a Schmitt escape, immediately went in for another double-leg to ice the victory.
On the heels of that win, Welch helped Northwestern put some distance between itself and Wisconsin when he picked up his seventh pin and 22nd win overall, finishing off Kalvin York at the 5:39 mark as the Wildcats went ahead, 19-10.
At 165 pounds, NU sophomore Kevin Bialka took on Wisconsin's Shawn Perry -- filling in for an injured two-time NCAA finalist in Wisconsin's Andrew Howe -- and was tied at three entering the second period. But Bialka fought his way to one takedown in the second and another on the edge of the mat in the third, going on to ride Perry for a total of 2:11 to post an 8-3 decision and improve to 10-7 in dual matches this season.
Northwestern sophomore Brian Roddy, Jr. had an opportunity to pick up a win over a ranked opponent when he met No. 12 Ben Jordan at 174, and he looked ready to make the most of his chance with the first takedown of the match. As time wound down in the second, Jordan was credited with a '2' at the buzzer after some discussion among the officials, and the Badger built on that lead with three near-fall points in the third. He went on to win by a score of 9-3 to set the team score at 22-13 for NU.
The match ended on a winning note for the Wildcats at 184 pounds, where Wisconsin sent usual 165-pounder Ben Cox to the mat against NU senior Aaron Jones. Cox put up a solid fight for most of the match, but Jones held firm to a 3-0 lead in the second and never allowed Cox to generate any offense as Jones posted a 6-0 win.
In addition to Precin, Nadhir and Jones, NU also honored Robert Joyce, Keith Sulzer, Frank Battaglia and Robert Holbrook on Senior Night at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
One final item of note was the presence on NU's bench of Northwestern's first-team All-Big Ten quarterback Dan Persa, a former wrestler who served as a guest coach on the evening.
Northwestern's Big Ten season comes to a close next week when it travels to face Ohio State on Saturday, Feb. 19. The match will be streamed live on BigTenNetwork.com.

They may be the cutest World Cup mascots ever. But three-banded armadillos (Tolypeutes tricinctus) from Caatinga in north-east Brazil are being crowded out of their habitat by an invasive weed. The armadillo was today described as "vulnerable" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, which has updated its Red List of endangered species.
The rubbervine weed (Cryptostegia madagascariensis), also known as devil's claw, was originally imported from Madagascar as an ornamental plant. It has swept through the armadillo's shrub-land home, killing native trees and smothering vast areas. Control of the weeds is doubly difficult because it rapidly forms dense thickets of vegetation, and exudes toxic sap.
The IUCN says the armadillo has declined by more than a third over the past 10 to 15 years, because its shrub-land habitat has shrunk by 50 per cent.
To combat the weed, a research group called CABI based in Wallingford, UK, has joined forces with Brazilian partners to develop a biological programme to control the weed, possibly using a fungus. In a similar project in Queensland, Australia, CABI successfully controlled a closely related rubbervine weed using a rust fungus.
Dick Shaw of CABI says that the Brazilian invasion has not yet reached its full extent, so there is still time to act. "If no action is taken, a valuable resource and unique ecosystem will be lost to Brazil and the world," he says.

Meanwhile, in the rubbervine's home country, the IUCN also declared that 94 per cent of lemurs are threatened with extinction. Of the 101 surviving species, 22 are critically endangered, including the large bodied indri (Indri indri), the largest living lemur.

For Several Days now, news about alleged corruption involving the dismissed Managing Director of the Liberia Airport Authority (LAA) Ellen Corkrum have taken over the airwaves and newspapers.
The Board of Directors of LAA has accused Madam Corkrum of stealing about one million United States dollars during the period of five months of service at LAA. LAA Board Chairman Musa Bility told a news conference last week that Corkrum made payments including US$255,000 to Diaspora Consulting, a group Bility said, was bogus.
Diaspora Consulting was recommended by Madam Corkrum to rehabilitate the runway of the Roberts International Airport and the pavement. In The Wake of the money noise, the LAA says it had finally decided to pursue legal action against Madam Corkrum, who is at the center of corruption at the Liberia Airport Authority.
This is the best decision anybody can take especially if that person intends to stop criminality and breaching of the law. Let Madam Corkrum and her collaborators face justice for their alleged involvement in depleting the coffers of LAA.
The court should adjudicate this matter so that the public can be convinced that the former LAA manager actually committed the crime or is innocent during her administration. It is absolutely unacceptable to allow individuals to commit crimes with impunity. Therefore, the decision to prosecute Corkrum is a welcome development.
From Information gathered, Madam Corkrum is a citizen of the United States of America which makes it difficult or impossible to extradite her to Liberia. Moreover, the United States does not allow their citizens to be prosecuted in foreign land.
However, we believe the laws of the United States do not excuse any of their citizens who commit crimes in foreign land. In This Regard, we support the LAA to go after Madam Corkrum and her alleged boyfriend Melvin Johnson in U.S. Courts or Liberia.
We believe that U.S. courts will not deny Liberia the right to pursue the due process against Madam Corkrum and her boyfriend giving the critical nature of the matter. Corkrum must face criminal prosecution whether or not she is a citizen of the United States.
We Are Convinced that the United States will not support any of its citizens to commit crime with impunity especially in a country where it has spent American taxpayers' money to rebuild and restore peace.
The lawsuit, by authority of LAA, is the best option against corruption and other financial malpractices.

Recipe by Kathleen
"These falafels are the closest thing to NYC street vendor falafels! Made the traditional way with dried soaked chickpeas! Great on a pita with lettuce, cucumber and yogurt. Asafoetida is usually found in Middle Eastern or Indian food stores. If you prefer, you can use 2 to 3 garlic cloves and 1 small chopped onion instead. This is a great base recipe, customize it to your own tastes."

I omitted the baking soda, baking powder and sugar. These are great tasting burgers that I dry fried instead of deep fat fried. I'll be making them again!
The only reason for the low rating is to warn people to be sure to plan on soaking the chickpeas at least overnight. After 6 hours of soaking I thought I'd better cook them since they were still pretty crispy. BAD idea. They absorbed too much water and when I tried to cook them I ended up with falafel mush and had to throw it all out. The flavor was excellent and I'm going to try this again. But there's no way I'll cook them and I'd warn people away from using canned beans for the same reason

I agree with sueb that you can certainly forego the soda baking powder and sugar. I first learned about falafel from a Lebanese student in my class but for years relied on packaged mix (never as good!). Another great twist is to buy whole spices and grind them your self - it only adds 2 minutes to prep time but the flavors are so much more vivid. Also you can finely chop a bit of cilantro or parsley into the mixture. These make great finger food for parties too!
Delicious! They come out moister than previous falafel recipes I have tried, and I can say first hand, that these are indeed just like the type you get at a halal foods cart in NYC. I also omitted the sugar, baking soda, and powder as another member suggested, and it turned out great! I'm going to be making these again for my graduation party... I just might have to double the recipe!!
Fabulous! Followed recipe but omitted sugar and didn't have astafoetida powder. The baking soda is used to soften the beans and the baking powder is to make the falafel light and airy so I recommend using both. I let the beans soak overnight and also had to use a bit more water to get the right consistency. Much more authentic than any recipe that calls for cooked garbanzo beans. Excellent flavor. Will definitely make again!
Great recipe! I just loved it.

How to Make a Bamboo Fountain
Water fountains look awesome, but bamboo ones are even better!
1Have a plan. The basic elements of a bamboo fountain are big rocks, a jar,stones, plants and a bamboo faucet. Plan the location, the sizes and colors of the elements, and whether or not you want a full-functioning water basin connected to a water source.Ad
2Gather your materials. For a full-functioning water basin, the bamboo faucet will have to be connected to a water source. For a decorative fountain, consider connecting a water pump to the bamboo fixture. Stone jars are heavy, so watch out.
3Start by putting the rocks in place. Then, if not installed yet, you should consider putting the plumbing. Now add the plants on the ground you can add mulch or small polished rocks. You could also let it naturally do it the way you want. And now of course the bamboo fixtures.
We could really use your help!
personal development?
Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen?
car seat upholstery?
- you don't have to do the plumbing. sure, there won't be water coming out of the fountain, but you can still put some in the jar and it's much easier without the water.

The scandal surrounding Barclays PLC has already created turmoil in the British banking giant's executive suite – but it could reach much further before it's resolved. Barclays chairman Marcus Agius resigned on Monday, but then agreed to stay on as the company searches for a replacement for CEO Bob Diamond, who abruptly resigned under pressure the following day. Chief Operating Officer Jerry del Missier also stepped down. Many more heads could roll if the rate-rigging scandal mushrooms, but even as it is, the investigations into Barclays and other banks manipulation of a key interest rate called Libor has wide-reaching implications for the financial sector – and for millions of businesses and consumers in the U.S. and abroad. Here, a guide to the scandal and its potential fallout.
What Is Libor?
The London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, is a key short-term interest rate that reflects the rates that banks get when they borrow from each other day-to-day. The interbank borrowing is done by financial institutions looking to make profits or cover short-term liquidity shortfalls. The British Bankers' Association actually tracks a range of rates calculated daily for 10 major currencies and 15 borrowing periods – from overnight to 12-month loans – so 150 numbers are published every day: the overnight euro rate, the two-week Yen rate, the 3-month New Zealand dollar rate, the 12-month U.S. dollar rate, etc.
How Is the Libor Rate Set?
Thomson Reuters calculates and publishes the rate for the British Bankers' Association every day just after 11 a.m. The calculation of U.S. Dollar Libor is based on data submitted every day, except for bank holidays, from a panel of 16 major financial institutions. The banks are asked to base their submission on this question: "At what rate could you borrow funds, were you to do so by asking for and then accepting inter-bank offers in a reasonable market size just prior to 11 am?" Thomson Reuters throws out the top and bottom quarter of submissions and averages the remaining eight to get the published rates. That process, however, means that Libor is based on the rates banks report they could get, not actual rates on real loans.
Why Does Libor Matter?
Libor "is used to set interest rates on $350 trillion of dollars and euros of loans and other obligations globally," portfolio manager Michael Lewitt of Cumberland Advisors wrote in a note to clients this week. That's about $50,000 worth of financial instruments for every person on Earth. Libor plays a key role in global financial markets, underpinning the interest-rate derivatives traded by large institutions. And in addition to reflecting the rates that banks get from each other, Libor is also used to determine rates for some types of loans to consumers and businesses. "Adjustable-rate mortgages, student loans, some credit cards as well as small-business loans and corporate bond offerings can all be pegged to Libor," says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. In the United States, though, Libor is not the primary index for most loans, McBride notes.Still, if Libor is used as a global benchmark, the rate-rigging scandal calls into question the reliability of that benchmark – an issue that had also gotten attention during the financial crisis – and could potentially affect the interest rates many consumers pay.
What Did Barclays Do?
Last week, Barclays settled charges that it manipulated the Libor rate, and a similar rate called Euribor, for its own benefit by submitting falsified numbers as far back as 2005. According to the Financial Services Authority, Barclays derivatives traders routinely asked for submitters to help them profit from their trades by sending in numbers that were either higher or lower than they should have been. The regulator's report says Barclays submitted inaccurate rates "on numerous occasions" between January 2005 and July 2008 at the behest of at least 14 Barclays derivatives traders. "Barclays could have benefitted from this misconduct to the detriment of other market participants. Where Barclays acted in concert with other banks, the risk of manipulation increased materially," according to the FSA. At times, the Barclays traders also tried to influence the submissions of other banks, and passed along requests from their counterparts to Barclays submitters. After a Barclays submission was lower, as requested, one of those outside traders emailed their contact: "Dude. I owe you big time! Come over one day after work and I'm opening a bottle of Bollinger."

Edwin Arlington Robinson (December 22, 1869 – April 6, 1935) was an American poet, who won three Pulitzer Prizes for his work.
Robinson was born in Head Tide, but his family moved to Gardiner, Maine in 1870. He described his childhood in Maine as "stark and unhappy. His family also had problems with alcohol and his brother Herman died in part due to that. It has been speculated that his poem Richard Cory may relate to his brother. His early difficulties led many of his poems to have a dark pessimism and his stories to deal with "an American dream gone away.
In the fall of 1891, at the age of 21, Edwin entered Harvard University as a special student. He took classes on English, French, and Shakespeare, as well as one on Anglo-Saxon that he later dropped. His mission was not to get all A's, as he wrote his friend Harry Smith, "B, and in that vicinity, is a very comfortable and safe place to hang".
His real desire was to get published in one of the Harvard literary journals. Within the first fortnight of being there, Robinson's "Ballade of a Ship" was published in The Harvard Advocate, a journal of less stature than the heralded Harvard Monthly. He was even invited to meet with the editors, but when he returned he complained to his friend Mowry Saben, "I sat there among them, unable to say a word". Robinson's literary career had false-started.
After Edwin's first year at Harvard the family endured what they knew was coming. His father, Edward, had died. He was buried at the top of the street in Oak Grove Cemetery in a plot purchased for the family.
In the fall Edwin returned to Harvard for a second year, but it was to be his last one as a student there. Though short, his stay in Cambridge included some of his most cherished experiences, and it was there that he made his most lasting friendships. He wrote his friend Harry Smith on June 21, 1893:
"I suppose this is the last letter I shall ever write you from Harvard. The thought seems a little queer, but it cannot be otherwise. Sometimes I try to imagine the state my mind would be in had I never come here, but I cannot. I feel that I have got comparatively little from my two years, but still, more than I could get in Gardiner if I lived a century."
Robinson was back in Gardiner by mid-summer, 1893. He had plans to start writing seriously. In October he wrote his friend Gledhill:
"Writing has been my dream ever since I was old enough to lay a plan for an air castle. Now for the first time I seem to have something like a favorable opportunity and this winter I shall make a beginning."
With his father gone, Edwin became the man of the household. He tried farming and developed a close relationship with his brother's wife. A confrontation ensued, and Robinson fled to New York, where he led a precarious existence as an impoverished poet while cultivating friendships with other writers, artists, and would-be intellectuals. In 1896 he self-published his first book, "The Torrent and the Night Before," paying 100 dollars for 500 copies. It was meant to be a surprise for his mother. Days before the copies arrived, however, Mary Palmer Robinson died of diphtheria.
His second volume, "The Children of the Night," had somewhat wider circulation. Among its readers was President Theodore Roosevelt's son Kermit, who recommended it to his father. Impressed by the poems and aware of Robinson's straits, Roosevelt in 1905 secured the writer a job at the New York Customs Office. Robinson remained in the job until Roosevelt left office.
Gradually his literary successes began to mount. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for the years 1922, 1925 and 1928. During the last twenty years of his life he became a regular summer resident at the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire, where he was the object of devoted attention by several women although he maintained a solitary life and never married.
