I'm a bookworm, I'll admit that upfront now. I like the printed word.When I had my office in Redmond I had so many books on shelves it allegedly kept my room temperature a couple of degrees higher than those offices around me. So we are talking quite a few books.
But recently I've changed. I'm moving to ebooks. Why? I was chatting to a friend of mine, she works in the publishing industry, about the publications her company had on offer. She mentioned that she was increasingly using an eReader*, I commented that I was not convinced and couldn't see myself using one, previous experiences with so-called ebooks, was one factor. She didn't go off into a long sermon on how I was behind the times, she simply said go try one and see for yourself.
I was still not convinced, until recently at another friends house I found they had been given an eReader* as a gift. So I started to use it and was pleasantly surprised. The readability of the screen surprised me, the paper effect these devices achieve is very easy on the eye, I was certainly thinking I could get on with these. So with this thought in mind a new opportunity to try another device came my way. A colleague had just bought a different model. This had to be a sign, and not missing the chance, I tried theirs. Needless to say, I was now on well on the path to purchase.
What finally tipped the scales was another friend working for O'Reilly. I have a large number of MS Press books and until recently ebooks to MS Press were PDF. I tried PDF on an eReader and while it was ok, wasn't the experience I was after. My O'Reilly friend pointed out that following the move of MS Press distribution to O'Reilly, one of the side benefits was the inclusion of ePub formats in their offerings. She kindly provided me the ePub version of the books whose PDF I was trying so I could compare side-by-side. The experience was exactly what I had hoped.
Armed with eReader"* and ePub copy of the book I was off to the park to see if reading in daylight outside was better than using a laptop. The results of all these tests are that now I'm a convert. It wasn't quick and I was looking for that reason not to go this route, but in the end all the things my original friend had told me about these devices where true.
One of my main criteria for this format change was the availability of MS Press books. The experience of using the PDF versions of these books on other devices had been a factor in my reluctance to change. But O'Reilly have done a very good job in making them available in other formats.
Now the proud owner of an eReader I've been researching the places that I can download books. Beyond the obvious retailers, I've found my local authority runs an eLibrary service. I now find myself looking at titles that I may not have considered previously. I can now carry 1 book or 1000 books with me anywhere, switch between them easily all without the cumbersome weight I used to carry. A far cry from the days of carrying 10-15 books in the back of my car to events on the off chance I get a question I need to research.
If you are like me and sceptical about these devices and the quantity of books available for them, I'll repeat what my friend told me, "Go try one for yourself", you'll be pleasantly surprised.
*I've not mentioned makes or models here on purpose. Try different models and see how you get on. I did, and that is how I ended up with the model I've have. You can download software to read and mange books on your PC, like Adobe Digital Editions, you can also use ADE to transfer ebooks to devices too.
Also look around at the books sites, for example O'Reilly have most of their publications, especially their new ones, available in 4 formats. Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Borders, Waterstones and WH Smiths are all making ebooks and readers more generally available, most will also let you try them in store.
Great post. I was drawn-in in a similar fashion. Much of it had to do with O'Reilly's selection of ebooks and the ability to convert my pbooks (paper-versions) into ebooks for a nominal fee.
I made the switch to an all eBook library - now numbering dozens of books - a couple months ago. I am so glad I did it...glad you did too!
My only one concern...
O'Reilly's Safari Books Online
it doesn't feel as handy and eyes-friendly like an ebook
Why not use a "netflix" like system, "streaming" ebook files... so you can read them as ebooks plus protecting copyrights...
I don't want to have terabytes of ebooks, I just want to have the eLibrary on my device, I don't care ownership, and I'm willing to pay more for this option.
I hope O'Reilly's guys are working on something like that, and not just relying on HTML displayed on "beta" mediocre ereader's web browsers.
I agree with your thoughts. I am a Kindle owner and I use it for both work related books and personal books. It's great to carry one device, that stays charged three weeks, and have all of that information.

Sylvan Learning Center - ToledoRead MoreThe staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous study facilities understand that each child learns differently.

Tutors work with students from kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan?s instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
On the picket line
Early Influences
John Hubley was born in Wisconsin in 1914. At the age of 22, he got a job at the Walt Disney Studios painting backgrounds and layouts for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He described his training as a great Renaissance workshop, where the apprentices learned from the masters. John became an art director at Disney and designed layouts for Pinocchio, Bambi, Dumbo and the "Rites of Spring" sequence in Fantasia.
The Disney Studio Strike of '41
In 1937, Walt Disney had promised his staff that their hard work to complete Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs would be repaid with bonuses from the profits. The film earned four times the box office of any other film of 1938, yet bonuses weren't awarded to employees. Instead, Disney invested the profits in expansion. The salaries ranged widely at the Disney studio: a top animator was paid up to $500 a week while a cel painter earned a mere $12 a week. Arthur Babbitt, creator of Goofy and one of the most respected and highly paid animators at the studio, took up the union cause. Disney saw Babbit's organizing as a personal betrayal and fired him. On May 28, 1941 Disney artists held a mass meeting and the motion to strike was made. As the weeks dragged on, the picket line became contentious, and studio employees were deeply divided. One of the longest strikes in the history of Hollywood, the standoff ended in July of '41. Although the strikers won, almost all were eventually laid off or quit, including John Hubley.
FMPU training film
|First Motion Picture Unit
In 1942 the U.S. government formed 18th Air Force Base Unit, also known as the First Motion Picture Unit (FMPU) in Culver City, California, to produce films used to train the troops during World War II. The animation unit produced hundreds of training films on a continuous schedule. Animators from Warners, Fleischers, Disney, MGM and independents, including John Hubley, enlisted in the Army and were assigned to the FMPU. The style that Hubley developed through his work at the FMPU was considered revolutionary. "He was a brilliant caricaturist and he pushed the characters into a more contemporary idiom. You could say that really started the UPA style," says animation scholar John Canemaker.
Mr. Magoo in Gerald McBoing Boing
In 1943 many ex-Disney artists regrouped at the new studio United Productions of America (UPA), where Hubley was a founder. The studio's modernist, flat, symbolic style revolutionized popular concepts of animation. Though the drawings and figures were less complex, storylines and characters were more developed. As UPA's creative vice-president, Hubley developed an irascible, near-sighted character named Mr. Magoo and supervised the animation of Academy Award-winning Gerald McBoing Boing (1950).
The Blacklist
In 1947 the FBI began their quest to find Americans with Communist leanings. Hubley had been a political activist throughout his career. He'd participated in Hollywood stirikes and made films for labor unions. He and Bill Hurtz created the storyboard for Hell Bent for Election, made for the United Auto Workers and the CIO for the Roosevelt campaign. His political leanings made him an easy target of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), and Walt Disney, a staunch anti-union conservative, had been a primary force in the blacklist. Columbia Studios, which commissioned UPA, was pressured by the Committee to supply them with a list of people who would be forced to leave UPA. Those who were named and those who refused to talk were blacklisted from the community. In 1955, Hubley initially refused to testify, and when he did testify a year later, he refused to name names. Following his testimony, Hubley was blacklisted. He began work on the animated version of Finian's Rainbow, with voices by Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. When it was discovered that Hubley was directing the project, the backers pulled out their money and the project was summarily shut down.
In 1956, John Hubley moved his independent animation studio Storyboard from Los Angeles to New York City. He used the name Storyboard because he couldn't use his own name and the studio did animated television commercials. Commercials were anonymous, so he was able to work. There he and his wife Faith worked on commissioned projects and produced 21 films together, three of which were Academy Award-winners.
John Hubley died during heart surgery in 1977.

Despite the horrendous heat and late-season drought conditions this summer, the perennial borders are still looking pretty good. We did do some spot watering but mostly careful consideration and selection of late summer bloomers has saved the day.
Bold and rather hardy perennials like Tartarian asters, helianthus, salvias, golden rod, Russian sage, Japanese anemone, ornamental grasses and Joe Pye weed are still stalwart and in bloom. They have all anchored the fall garden well.
Soccer is a much more physical game than anyone realizes until a game or two are watched.
The Harrison County versus Franklin County match at LeBus Field last Thursday night certainly proved this.
Yet, as physical and almost out of control as it appeared, only one card was issued and that was a red card to Breds' fullback junior Anthony Shirley. This was in the second half with 26-plus minutes left in the contest and put the home squad at a decided disadvantage.
Middle school cross country
does well in Frankfort meet
The Harrison County Middle School Cross Country teams each finished fourth of nine teams in the Frankfort All Comers race last Wednesday.
The 1500M course is one that the teams had competed on earlier in the year and nearly every member bettered the time that they had run before on Wednesday.
Each race, both the girls' and boys', had more than 100 participants. In the girls' race Harrison County's Amelia Bolin finished first with an excellent time of 6:15.8.
Champions for a Drug Free Harrison County will host its seventh town hall meeting Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Cynthiana Christian Church.
Van Ingram from the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy and Amy Adams from the Kentucky Agency for Substance Abuse Policy will speak about "The Face of Substance Abuse."

On the last weekend of August, we joined almost 100 Kentuckians from Lexington (12 buses altogether from Kentucky), on a trip to Washington DC to attend the Glenn Beck "Restore Honor" rally at the Lincoln Monument.

Sunday in another disappointing outing for Bengal fans; the Bengals lost again to the Patriots.
The loss wasn't an upset particularly, but the way the game was played should have been upsetting to Bengal hierarchy, Marvin Lewis and the Bengal nation.
The team, though expressing supreme confidence that it would win, put about as poor of an effort forth in the game, especially in the first half, that I have seen for a while by players not in Ram outfits.

They fidget constantly and can rarely sleep, sometimes going a month or more on two to three hours of sleep a night.
1670s, as the fidget "uneasiness," later the fidgets, from a 16c. verb fidge "move restlessly," perhaps from Middle English fiken "to fidget, hasten," from Old Norse fikjask "to desire eagerly" (cf. German ficken "to move about briskly;" see fuck).
1670s (implied in fidgetting); see fidget (n.). Related: Fidgeted.

Hi I suggest sticking closer to your reference..(for instance I'm sure it has an ear, and a smaller nose)
Suggested reading ;3

bright colors ,well made
great for lap swimming. Have purchased this product before so know it is long lasting.
I swim laps. It fits well but isn't particularly flattering
Ordered one size larger and its about 2 sizes too small. No stretch to speak of either. Pretty colors.
I bought this suit to support my triathlon training conducted in a pool. The fit is true, the style is perfect for lap training and the colors/design are pleasant and unique. No drawbacks. Highly recommended.
Tight fit, but I don't like the gathering on the rear bottom.
Pretty suit but runs very small
Use this suit for fitness swimming. I ordered one size larger than my normal size as advised by others who bought it and the larger size fit perfectly. I love the chlorine resistant fabric, color and fit.
Love Ocean polyester suits! The 4th one I've owned. This one didn't seem as snug as the others. Not sure why--perhaps different polyester manufacturer?

The Chicago Bears have been without Johnny Knox as the wide receiver attempts to come back from a back injury. Even with the production of Brandon Marshall and the hype around rookie Alshon Jeffery it is clear the Bears still miss the big play ability of Knox. ''I miss him because of what he brought to the table — the speed factor. The ability to stretch the field,'' Bears wide receivers coach Darryl Drake said. ''Johnny was getting better and better before he [was injured]. He was averaging 20 yards a catch.'' Through 10 games last season, Knox had 36 receptions for 712 yards (19.8 yards per catch) and two touchdowns. He was on a pace for 58 receptions for 1,139 yards — only 75 fewer than Marshall had with the Dolphins last season (81-1,214, 6 TDs). Marshall is having a fine season with 50 catches for 675 yards (13.5 yards per catch) and four touchdowns. Marshall may be headed to the Pro Bowl with his numbers but the Bears have struggled to find a number two. Devin Hester is secon...

'' Nikki The Airline Pilot''
blazing trails at the FAA FSDO!
Tonika Johnson became the first black female to graduate from Central Missouri State University with a B.S. degree in Aviation Technology in 1994. A native of Springfield, Illinois, she became interested in aviation an early age. Her first flying lesson was during her senior year as a student at Southeast High School. A youth aviation program provided the means by which she completed her first solo flight. While i n college, each summer she participate in internships with various airlines and the Illinois Department of Transportation. She notes: "The internships allowed me to promote aviation education while the employers became sponsors." Upon graduation, she became a flight instructor.
While gaining experience, she was also employed by the Houston Airport Management System and handled issues such as aircraft emergencies.
Throughout her career Tonika has persevered, becoming US Airways Express' first black female jet captain. She has obtained pilot licenses outside of the United States of America and took on the historic challenge of flying as a jet captain in Asia and Africa. She has been at the helm of corporate and airline passenger jets throughout the Africa, Asia, and the United States-adding Canada and the Caribbean to her routes and is certificated in various jets.
Having flown celebrities in the past, Tonika went on to become business mogul, Ervin "Magic" Johnson's private jet captain. In her own words: I had a desire to see the world and make an impact by assisting where possible. It inspired me to work as a jet captain in other countries such as India. Not only did Tonika cut her own path in the history books, but she created a means towards providing a positive mindset for youngsters to make their way into the annals of history.
When she is not working, she volunteers in many communities, promoting aviation, participating in reading programs with her book "Nikki, The Airline Pilot", as well as, being commissioned to provide instruction in a class-room environment.
Today, Tonika has transitioned and serves the aviation community in a different capacity. She is employed by the Federal Aviation Administration and provides oversight and surveillance in General Aviation as a Principal Operations Inspector. She has recently been promoted to serve in the same capacity for part 121 air carrier, Silver Airways, a feeder service for Jet Blue, American, US Air, and United.

I would like to welcome our new members and new sponsors. We just had one of the best conventions in recent history. To Lynda Gray, Carol Gentry, Barbara Barnes and our many volunteers, thank you for a job well done. Many of you may have walked away with possible new job prospects, while others had a great time catching up with old and new friends. Our APDP team did a great job of mentoring old and new members. If you made new contacts at the convention, please continue to make the best out of those relationships.
I would like to touch on the Board of Directors vacancies and why they were not filled. A friend and mentor with lots of Board experience shared some thoughts with me. She has been able to look at our Board of Directors backgrounds and tell us the challenges we face. An example is that most boards have an attorney, who leverages their office's resources to protect and help the board to go forward. We will be doing a board assessment to fine tune the needs of OBAP. Next, we will put together a search team to meet those needs of the assessment, by first checking with all of our partners.
The standard of fund raising will be our highest priority as with many nonprofit organizations. Another focus area will be to strengthen our internal processes. An example will consist of having the minutes and agenda on the website before the meeting. Building the brand is also very high on my list. We all share the responsibility of building the brand. That means when you have the opportunity to speak, you share OBAP accomplishments and programs that serve the youth and our members. The stronger the brand, the better the Board of Directors are able to stabilize relationships that support OBAP's mission. Ask yourself what can you do to help build the brand.
Lastly, but not least, thank you to our many sponsors, speakers and supporters! You are the reason OBAP can accomplish our mission!
James Gordon
Chairman, OBAP

I have my project classes organized in multiple src folders, which have been working just fine until I changed the switch between activities, now incorporating passing of strings to the following activity. I think the problem is related to the class path.
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("email", userEmail);
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,
[EDIT] I realized the problem is not entirely related to the path of the Classes, even though I currently have MeanSelection.class instead of com.fm.mondev.MeanSelection.class. In fact, the problema seems to be related to the bundle. It works when I use it between the Login and Main activities, but not for activities subsequent to the Main one. I have also tried the alternate approach shown below. I have the subsequent activities edited accordingly.
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,
intent.putExtra("email", userEmail);
I have looked at my logcat but I can not detect anything useful. I know this works if I comment the putExtra(s) line.
[ANSWER] After seeking through every error line of the logcat and reading your answers, I realized there was a problem with one of the variables written via Log.d. So, the solution was to erase those lines, since they were there just to verify if the variables were rightly picked from the previous activities via the bundle. My conclusion is: from now on, I will not Log the strings passed from one activity to another. I'm not sure if this is really an issue with Android or just one of those things that comes with no feasible explanation, which we all know so well, but as soon as I erased those lines, I had my app up and running.

Many have heard of the so-called Southwest Airlines effect or even the recently coined Spirit Airlines effect, but what about the Virgin America effect?
The Burlingame, California-based low-cost carrier, and its competitors, are behind the four largest capacity gains on domestic routes in the USA from October 2012 to October 2013 Innovata schedules show.
Virgin America launched flights between Newark and both Los Angeles and San Francisco on 2 April. Shortly thereafter United Airlines increased frequencies on both routes to 14 from six and 16 from seven daily, respectively.
Monthly seat capacity jumped 73% on Newark-Los Angeles and 59% on San Francisco-Newark during the year.
Similar trends occurred on the Los Angeles-San Jose, California, route where monthly seat capacity increased 53% in the past year. Both Delta AirLines and Virgin America announced that they were entering the market with multiple daily nonstops on the same day in February, joining United and Southwest on the route.
Austin-San Francisco is no different. Virgin America announced new service on the route on 12 February that was followed shortly by additional capacity on both United and JetBlue Airways.
Whether these routes can support the capacity increases – and likely resulting yield erosion – from the new flights remains to be seen.Routes impacted by consolidation among US carriers saw the opposite trend. Capacity was cut 23% between Newark and Phoenix during the year, a trend that can likely be attributed by US Airways – the dominate carrier on the route – shifting away from its long-standing alliance with United towards its proposed merger partner American Airlines. American is larger at New York's John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports.
Similarly, monthly seats were down 14% from Atlanta to LaGuardia and 9% from Atlanta to Philadelphia – two routes that have likely seen schedules juggled by Southwest as it integrates AirTran Airways into its system and optimises aircraft operations. The carrier could be shifting LaGuardia slots to other routes in its system while it has cut capacity in Philadelphia by more than a quarter during the past year, Innovata FlightMaps Analytics shows.
The 8% decrease in capacity on the Honolulu-Kahului route is likely to due to a shift in capacity on the primary inter-island carrier Hawaiian Airlines.

US Hikers Were Seized in Iraq: WikiLeaks Document Corroborates Nation Report
The Iranian government has retaliated against rising Kurdish militancy by launching a counteroffensive on PJAK, inside Iran and across the border in Iraq. In August 2007, for example, Iranian soldiers crossed into Iraq and attacked several villages, McClatchy reported. Most recently, on June 4, officials in Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdish region alleged that "a small unit of Iranian soldiers," including a tank and several other vehicles, had penetrated more than a mile into Iraqi Kurdistan's Arbil province in search of Kurdish rebels.
Until his arrest, Taab was a key player in Iran's counteroffensive. The former Revolutionary Guards officer says that several current members of the Guards told him that Taab's stated goal was to "completely wipe out PJAK" in his jurisdiction. According to Ahmedi, the scholar at Georgetown, Taab was involved in recent cross-border assassinations of Iranian Kurds in Iraqi Kurdistan. The Kurdish weekly Awena reported that Taab and his unit assassinated two Kurds on December 15, 2008.
According to the former officer and the Sanandaj official, Taab's criminal enterprise grew beyond smuggling in 2007, when he made his first forays into murder. Koolbars, the petty border smugglers, are often killed by land mines or fatally shot by border police. So Taab concocted a scheme to kidnap koolbars as well as ordinary unemployed Iranian Kurdish civilians, dress them in the uniforms of PJAK insurgents and then kill them—claiming they'd died in a military clash—in order to collect a bounty, as high as $40,000 a head, from his superiors in the Revolutionary Guards. He was assisted in this plot by at least nine others, seven of whom have been apprehended. The article in Kurdistan Va Kurdnews named all seven, including Haji Majid Muqimiyan of Kermansha, identified as a ringleader.
PJAK has officially denied involvement in these border clashes, including in a May 3, 2009, post to the Iranian website Tabnak, which is published by Mohsen Rezai, a former head of the Revolutionary Guards. Many of the PJAK clashes may, in fact, have been "bogus," said the Sanandaj official. "More or less no clashes with PJAK have been reported in the area since Heyva Taab and his gang were busted."
A mother of one koolbar tearfully described her son's disappearance. She said he went missing the same day in early 2009 that the government later claimed a clash with PJAK had taken place. The woman, a resident of a border town in Iranian Kurdistan, is a plaintiff in one of the lawsuits against Taab; she asked that her name and location not be mentioned, for fear that it would harm her case in court.
Taab's scheme was wildly successful, according to the Sanandaj official, who said one bank account under Taab's name has had nearly $6 million deposited in it since 2008. This macabre scheme ended only in the spring of 2009, when Taab killed a local official's brother who was seeking work in the area and, more decisively, last July when he killed the cleric's son.
On June 11 Mohammad Javad Larijani, secretary general of Iran's High Council for Human Rights, said that the government's investigation was nearly complete and a trial for Bauer, Fattal and Shourd "should not be very far from now." In a statement issued on June 17, the mothers of the hikers called on Iran either to prosecute or release their children. "Iran has no legitimate reason at this stage not to release them or move forward with a fair trial in which our children can openly answer any allegations against them."
"These new revelations, if indeed true, show the hikers have been victims of political machinations and manipulation," said Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran. "The fact that they have been held for so long without prosecution strongly supports this trend. Under Iranian laws, they have committed no crime and should be released immediately. Their Iranian lawyer, who has studied the judicial files against them, has consistently maintained the only charge against them is illegal entry, which is subject to a fine and not arbitrary detention for so long. With this new information, even that charge appears fabricated, and there is no basis for holding them."
As of the press date, Shane Bauer, Josh Fattal and Sarah Shourd have been detained by Iran for ten months and twenty-three days.

Re: Home Sharing is not working in response to troynamy
Hope everyone posting is putting in calls to Apple Support, going to their local (if one exists) Apple Store and speaking politely with a Genius, who won't be able to fix this, but I'm sure logs issues that are reported directly back to Apple HQ.
It is obvious now that this is a major bug in iOS 6.0 and/or iTunes 10.7 and I'm sure the issue is on the radar screen for the next iTunes and/or iOS update. However, I don't think it has gotten the attention that the Maps app misstep has gained; arguably it's not as important for some people. For me, I use the TomTom GPS iOS app, so Maps wasn't that big an issue to me (even though it is a big issue).
But take away my ability to walk around the house with my iPhone 4 and earbuds engaged and not be able to stream all my iTunes library or lie in bed listening to music or podcasts as I fall asleep? FOWL! As a leading international leader said recently, Apple "crossed the red line" on this one.
Stay on 'em, people! This is an issue that Apple is going to have to resolve, not the customers.

Re: Home Sharing is not working in response to Oirud
I have finally cracked my problem. Homeshare photos on WinXP iTunes 10.7 definitely works with ATV restored using this file: "AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw".
It definitely DOES NOT work with the update which was applied two weeks ago. Sorry I did not take a note of the version number, but if it is dated a week or more ago it is rubbish.
The restore procedure fails on a PC which has other USB devices connected (I didn't try to find which).
You have to hold down the shift key when clicking Restore in order to use the file you downloaded, otherwise you just get the latest version from Apple.

Reports: Pats will cut Burgess, Woods
|09.04.10 at 5:31 pm ET
The Patriots will release outside linebackers Pierre Woods and Derrick Burgess, according to multiple media outlets. Burgess, 32, recorded five sacks with New England last season, while the 28-year-old Woods, who was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2006, spent the last four seasons with New England working mainly as a situational linebacker as well as on special teams. The news on both players was first reported by ESPN.

Officials ask that the public steer clear of Faith Lutheran Church on Fourth St. NE, Valley City, after fire caused extensive damage to the structure Monday morning.
A cause for the fire has not been determined, so until an investigation is complete and the structure is safe, the Valley City Fire Department and church officials ask that nobody enter the building.
Inspectors from the North Dakota State Fire Marshall's office and from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms investigated the scene Monday afternoon. The cause of the blaze has not been released pending their investigation.
Valley City Parks and Recreation's board approved a policy on Oct. 2 that prohibits the use of any tobacco products in most of their recreational facilities, both outdoor and enclosed areas, according to VCPR Director Tyler Jacobson.
The board wants to create and sustain a recreation environment that supports a clear tobacco-free norm and helps protect the health of our youth, Jacobson said.
Bill Lemma of Enderlin is too sick to harvest beans this year, but because of Farm Rescue, Bill can focus on healing instead of worrying about harvest.
Bill has cancer and is in Rochester undergoing a bone marrow transplant. On Friday, volunteers, including Bill's son and a former neighbor Steve Mark navigated combines flying both the U.S. flag and a Farm Rescue flag, through Bill's soybean fields.
Farmers should soon receive CRP and DCP payments delayed because of the government shutdown.
The Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program is a government based subsidy program that is based on crop acreage of qualified crops; in this area corn, soybeans, wheat and barley. The program is overseen by the Farm Services Agency.
Usually, direct payments to farmers go out in early October, but this year the government shutdown prevented it, but according to David Shea, executive director for Barnes County FSA, those checks will go out soon.

Its called "SYFY" because their no actual "SCI=Science" in the bs they produce. Its all fiction. You'd do better to watch AMCs 'The Walking Dead' (A great show), or coming this June 'Falling Skies' (which looks awesome, and is being produced by Spielberg). SYFY has become a B-Movie production studio, and I'll have to second your outrage at the wrestling comment. What in the hell's up with that?! I guess because wrestling makes most channel surfers *sigh*, and the fighting is all fiction, so...

Gotta agree, although Eureka is one of my favorites. They could have taken the money wasted on the crap and put it towards Stargate Universe. By the way, anybody know WHY it's ending? Even Firefly is on another channel and that's one of the best scifi shows ever. Sanctuary is a complete waste of time, but Amanda Tapping is nice to look at.
maybe if we can keep bumping this thread, and get like 30 pages or so we can all email them a link and let them see the error of their ways.

text: on Aug 20, 2013 @ 11:46 PMAug 20, 2013 @ 11:46 PM Published Bull fights help ease Bosnia's ethnic divisionsTheir owners waged a bloody inter-ethnic war but when it comes to the sport of giant bull fighting and especially its grandest event, the Corrida of Cevljanovici, there are "no nationalities" in Bosnia.Fourteen beasts with carefully polished horns, have been hand-picked to compete in the "Champions League" of the summer corridas.They will draw a huge crowd of Bosnians, Serbs and Croats, a rare meeting place for all three communities who fought against each other between 1992 and 1995."There are no ethnic divisions here," said Ivo Ilic, a Bosnian Croat who has brought his bull Lozonja to fight. "We are all like siblings."It is played out annually on a huge natural plateau, some 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) above sea level, some 40 kilometres (24 miles) north of Sarajevo.The event took place in mid-August and even the almost unbearable heat -- temperatures broke 39 degrees celsius (102 farenheit) -- did not prevent thousands of people of all ages coming to the valley, where the air is filled with the smoke of numerous barbeques as skewers slowly rotate lambs from the early morning onwards.In dozens of tents turned into makeshift restaurants, a kilo of freshly roasted lamb cost about 10 euros ($13), not a cheap treat in a country where the average monthly salary is just 400 euros.Numerous brass bands play local folk music as scantily dressed young women dance on the tables in the tents and delighted drinkers watch.Outside, hundreds of men and women dance the traditional "kolo" in a circle, hand in hand, as some of them did decades ago in the former communist Yugoslavia."The corrida of Cevljanovici is like a melting pot with all ingredients, Serbs, Croats and Muslims," said Besim Gljiva, one of its organisers.Gljiva said bull fights in Cevljanovici have a 66-year-long tradition, but various festivities were organised here as far back as the 19th century.There was a break in bull fighting during the war but once the conflict -- which left some 100,000 dead -- was over, the festivals started again.-- No blood, no matadors --Bull breeders from all three communities came together to form a national federation in 2003 and at least 1,000 bulls take part in fights organised every Sunday during the summer throughout Bosnia.Victory at Cevljanovici could enormously increase a bull's value, up to 25,000 euros, although there is no prize money for the winner.The winning bulls are treated by owners almost as family members; when they die, some even organise funerals for the glorified animals.But this is not a Spanish-type corrida: there is neither blood nor a matador.The bull-on-bull fights never end in death as it is banned to sharpen their horns, to prevent any serious injury.The fight ends when one of the powerful animals flees the arena, surrounded with a two-metre (six-foot-seven-inch) wire fence, thus admitting the superiority of its rival.Some battles end without any contact between the two bulls, while others last for several minutes as the rivals push each other's heads.Stevo Mumovic, a Serb from the eastern town of Han Pijesak, is a proud owner of a bull that has never lost a fight.But this time, he was here to congratulate his Muslim friend Nezir Saracevic, whose bull Garonja, the strongest at the tournament, weighing 1,200 kilos (2,650 pounds), had just won a fight."It is a special glory to have the strongest bull. This is the biggest corrida, the most visited, by people from all communities," Saracevic said proudly.Those wishing to congratulate him, however, cautiously avoid any sudden move, afraid to upset a huge black beast seemingly guarding his owner."He is like a mountain!" a man shouts, pointing at the bull, now resting after chasing his rival out of the arena through a fenced corridor.Owners of defeated bulls are, however, quick to join the winners at a table covered with cold pints of beer.Bosnian Croat Renata Prenjkovic, the only woman among the bull breeders, enjoyed victory against a fellow Croat's bull."This is a sport without nationality. As we all know each other, we are friends. But I am especially happy today because I beat Ivo, a Croat," Prenjkovic laughed.rus/ks/an/dh/jhb/ric

What are Vodcasts?
A vodcast is a video file that you can download to your computer and watch at your convenience, either on your computer or on a portable media player. What makes a vodcast different from other kinds of video downloads is that you can find all the video broadcasts from a single website in one location, so you only have to use one web address to gain access to all of them. This makes it very easy for you to check in regularly to see what's new on your favorite websites.
A vodcast can also be called a video podcast.

The Phils have a whole bunch of money tied up between Hamels, Howard, Utley and Halladay. Second richest contract for a pitcher in history (Sabathia).
The Phils have a whole bunch of money tied up between Hamels, Howard, Utley and Halladay. Second richest contract for a pitcher in history (Sabathia).
Wow - big contract. I wonder if this will make Cliff Lee more available. The Brewers, Cubs, D-Rays, and others are happy... as taking Hamels off the market has to help the trade value of Greinke, Garza, Shields, etc..
Glad to see it. Rather have Hamels off the market in Philly than on the market going to some other team, especially if that wound up being an NL team.
Glad he didn't end up in St. Louis next year.
Yowza. Let's hope Stephenson, Corcino, et al. develop, cuz the Reds ain't gonna keep all (or any?) of this current staff much beyond the current window!
"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
Maybe keeping Chapman in the pen now is a conscious choice to hold down his future contract as a starter?
"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
I remember when there was legitimate concern that Hamels wouldn't survive to arbitration with his arm intact.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
Reds may have to make a couple of savvy extensions in the offseason to buy out a couple of FA years from Bailey, Latos and Leake in exchange for guaranteed money through all the arb years. The Cueto signing was absolute genius in keeping him through 2015. Hopefully they'll pick the right 1-2 guys to extend out into 2016-2017. Maybe they can get Latos at a bit of a discount.
Poor roster mgmt will make Leake a FA after the 2015 season instead of 2016. That shouldn't have ever happened.
The good news is the Reds have time, but it is a little scary looking out past 2015 at this point.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Out for Opening Day
Seems rather ominous to me that we're 6+ weeks out from Opening Day and he's already ruled himself out being "8-10 days behind" and having some "discomfort".
I am responsible for Mr. Hamel's current woes. I drafted him in the early rounds of my fantasy league draft last year and he proceeded to look like Eric Milton instead of Steve Carlton.
I'm going to miss Johnny Beisbol

Dallas-based designer Elizabeth Showers launched her eponymous label in 1996 "simply to make pretty jewelry for women." Showers' glittering creations reference the natural world, both in her choice of materials — white sapphires and quartz, deep green malachite, rare Lapis lazuli, and other precious gemstones — and her designs, many of which resemble flowers and plants. Vintage-inspired, beaded chandelier earrings, multi-strand black onyx necklaces, and emerald-cut prehnite and pyrite rings are some of the elegant baubles you'll find in her collection, which features settings made of rhodium, sterling silver or 18-karat gold. In 2005, Showers debuted a small collection of star-shaped pendants, earrings and other pieces named Hope Star, the proceeds of which go to nonprofits that raise awareness of eating disorders.
Breeze through the season in flattering sheaths, maxis, and more
Indulge in a colorful assortment of the designer's signature gemstone pieces.
Elegant investment pieces stand out with green onyx, fire opal, and more.

Glen Taylor tells The Associated Press that he is looking for a minority partner who could eventually succeed him as the majority owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Taylor bought the Timberwolves in 1994, saving the team from moving to New Orleans. He says that any partner he brings in would have to be committed to keeping the team in Minnesota. Taylor hasn't put a timetable on when he wants to hand things over. He says the ideal scenario is to bring in someone to learn the ropes for a few years with an option in the agreement to eventually buy Taylor out. The 71-year-old Taylor thinks such an arrangement would ''be in the best interest of Minnesota to make a transition that's logical.''

Today we continue on with our look at the training camp roster battles for the Pittsburgh Steelers by looking at the running back position. The two things we know for sure right now is that Isaac Redman is the starter and that Rashard Mendenhall is all but guaranteed to open the 2012 season on the PUP list, where he will not count against the 53 man roster. In all likelihood the Steelers will carry four running backs on the 53 man roster this season and currently there are four young backs battling four three spots behind Redman. Those four backs are currently Jonathan Dwyer, Baron Batch, John Read more [...]

It was a very nice come from behind win last night for the San Francisco Giants. The way Houston has been playing all year, I was expecting some kind of melt down from them. It took a couple of big clutch hits from Joaquin Arias and Hector Sanchez to get the win for the Giants. The G-men are 15-5 on the road since the All Star break. That's the best road record since the break in the Majors. Lets hope that hot streak continues on this road trip, and they can stretch their lead in the NL West to more than 3.5 games over the Dodgers.Reliever Guillermo Mota was activated yesterday after his 100-game suspension. Mota is a two time offender with PED's, which means he'd get a lifetime ban if he tests positive again. Jeremy Affeldt was placed on paternity leave to make room for Mota.

Opt for color that looks natural and gradually changes tone from root to ends.
