The Kansas City Chiefs will win the AFC West in 2013. Here are five reasons why (in no particular order).1. Head Coach, Andy Reid - He is one of the best coaches in football.The guy just knows how to win. He has won 130 games during his 14-year head coaching career, which began in 1999.He has made the playoffs in nine of his 14 seasons. He will turn the Chiefs around in a short amount of time.2. General Manager, John Dorsey - Dorsey reunites with Andy Reid. The two served together on the Green Bay Packers' coaching staff from 1992-1997. They have chemistry working together. Dorsey is credited with drafting Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, and Greg Jennings.3. No. 1 Draft Pick - This off-season, the Chiefs have the No. 1 overall draft pick and high picks in every round. As mentioned above, GM John Dorsey knows how to draft and he will bring in top quality players that can produce immediately and stay for years.4. The Fans - There is a new sense of winning in Kansas City, or at least th...

1915-S Panama-Pacific Round Fifty, MS651915-S $50 Panama-Pacific 50 Dollar Round MS65 NGC. Ron Guth writes of the Panama-Pacific round fifty dollar gold piece that it "ranks as one of the great numismatic rarities" of the 20th century. Up until the time of the release of the round and octagonal fifty dollar gold coins to celebrate the momentous 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the United States had never struck an official fifty dollar commemorative.
Magnificent Overall Surfaces
Magnificent Overall Surfaces
For artistic inspiration, designer Robert Aitken hearkened back to the days of ancient Greece and Rome for a neoclassical portrait of Athena (Minerva) on the obverse of the coin. The Romans considered Minerva the goddess of war and wisdom, protector of cities, and divine patroness of arts and crafts. (The incredible array of scientific, artistic, and technological achievement that was on display at the Panama-Pacific Exposition made the theme of Minerva doubly appropriate. Also an undoubted factor in the design choice of this "all-around mythological person," as Bowers calls her in his commemorative coins Guide Book, is her appearance as well on the arms of the State of California.) The owl, sacred to Minerva, is the central device on the reverse of the Pan-Pac fifties.
Huckster-entrepreneur Farran Zerbe roundly condemned the Aitken design in a contemporary editorial in The Numismatist, complaining that all of the final designs had been "chosen by the Treasury Department without consulting the Exposition." But many subsequent generations have nonetheless praised both the artistry and execution of the Panama-Pacific fifties, and they are far and away the rarest and most desirable U.S. commemorative coins of the classic era.
It is sometimes forgotten, but decades later, sculptor Aitken again turned to the figure of Minerva for artistic inspiration (or to the State Seal of California on which she is depicted), for the 1935-S and 1936-D California-Pacific Exposition commemorative silver half dollars, more commonly called San Diego halves for their reverse design.
The overall preservation of this coin's surfaces are simply extraordinary. The only mark that keeps this magnificent coin from an even higher grade is a thin, shallow abrasion on Minerva's helmet; otherwise there are no noticeable contact marks on either side. The mint luster is bright and satiny with a slight, even reddish tinge. Rarely encountered in strict Gem condition.

Hi all,
This is probably 15 dpo and I did a home based pregnancy test now and there was a faint line. I almost could not believe it and had to ask DH to also see to confirm that it is truly positive.
I am really happy and would like to test more later and would be glad to see a darker line. I started taking folic acid today already
Ok now to my question:
When can I schedule a meeting with my Ob/Gyn. she had told me that the first appointment there would be series of blood tests and examinations. I would like to know if I should wait for 6 wks dpo or more before going and what types of tests would I have to do?
DH is excited and already asking me to rest etc.Guess it has not dawned on me at all. What am I supposed to do or not do now?It's my first and I am so new to all of these.
Thanks everyone

Currently (EDD: February 2014)
OB's will usually see you later also. 8-12 weeks. There isn't much to do at the beginning unless you have a history of problems. I had my first regular appointment at 10 weeks. They did a quick ultrasound to confirm and she ordered some blood tests. They test urine at every appointment. I would call soon to see when they want you to come in and make an appointment because sometimes they are busy and it could take a while to get an appointment. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Call the OB or midwife Monday and get an appointment on the books - they probably won't see you until 8-12 weeks after your last period, but some of them schedule way in advance.
And if you're looking into homebirth, call now! Homebirth midwives around here wind up seriously booked, so if you don't call basically as soon as you have a positive test, they're already committed to other patients. The same is true for some of the more popular OBs.
It's sweet of your DH to tell you to rest, but you can basically do anything you feel well enough to do. Just listen to your body and make sure you get enough water.
I know... That's AGES away (56dpo, lol). I think it's crazy, but there must be a good reason since 10-12 weeks seems very common across regions and practices.

I agree his caring intention is very sweet, but remember it's a long 9mo journey and it ends by beginning an even more exhausting one!
I am glad that I took rest when I needed it, but never when I didn't. It allowed people in my life to continue seeing me as a strong and capable rather than as frail, and that really helped once I started feeling very vulnerable and tired in the third trimester.
It also helps because sadly, so many people are only accommodating of your needs for a while, and if you are too needy now, you might be sad you didn't bank the favors until later!
This is what happened to me at school, where nausea took it's toll. After a month, my profs were a lot less sympathetic and patient, and I was glad to e feeling better and in no need of their help!

It's depressing, but I think the reason is that roughly 20% of confirmed pregnancies miscarry. One in five women who gets a positive HPT will probably not still be pregnant at 12 weeks... but we don't necessarily know what causes those miscarriages, and there's nothing we can do to prevent them. At the early stage, miscarriages don't necessarily require medical attention - when they do, they wind up referred through the ER. I think it just saves them some scheduling challenges if they don't see you until 10 weeks.
Thanks everyone.
Your responses have been really enlightening. 8-12 weeks really look so FAR away But i surely can wait. I would just have to take my mind off it then.
Thanks also for the advice not to look too needy, I don't intend to at all being a naturally restless person.
Usually, I only needed about a day or two to book an appointment with my OB/Gyn, but that was just normal dr's visit. With a first pre-natal visit, I guess it will take a lot of time I guess and they may want a longer notice. I would definitely call early this time around.
Married to a great man and friend
It's just the peripheral people I've discovered can be impatient, like distant bosses and casual acquaintances.
The only reason I've had for not wanting to appear too needy is because then people will start telling you not to do things you want to do and can do, and that gets really annoying .
When you really do need help, definitely don't hesitate to ask!

Definitely give your OB a call. Even if it normally only takes a couple days to get in to be seen they will tell you when they want you to come in for this. So even if you call now they probably won't schedule the appointment for a few weeks.

Great Indie Title
With the recent outbreak of rhythm games in the past 5 years, many of the games feel like the same game you bought not too long ago repackaged. Audiosurf doesn't feel that way at all. The soundtrack is no where limited at all.
You can import tracks and the game will add tiles in rhythm with the song. That's pretty impressive. Your high scores are no longer a secret either like in Guitar Hero. Audiosurf has online leaderboards for every song imaginable.
With a creative title this well built and the budget-friendly cost, this game is a keeper.

The cream-color rooms vary in size and amenities, but the intimate atmosphere and hospitable staff make you feel as if you're staying with a friend rather than at a hotel. The comfy, open living-room area extends to a balcony lined with a wooden counter and stools with views to the mango-shape pool below and a tranquil cove framed by the rain forest. More-expensive rooms have semi-private balconies, and those on the top floor can connect for families. Monkey-attracting mango trees surround the building, and a steep 20-minute trail leads to a secluded beach. All the rooms here are nonsmoking.

We were traveling for the first time out of the country for our honeymoon and chose Mango Moon as a place to stay b/c the reviews said it was unique, serene and had wonderful service. When we arrived construction was taking place (we were not told this would be the case in advance), the owner was out of town and a rude man was there in her place (he watched his TV so loud that we could not sleep in our bed on our honeymoon) and even after we made
the owner aware of our situation- she did not respond. Overall- we were thoroughly disappointed in our inability to relax on our honeymoon at a place that was advertised as tranquil. Another couple on their honeymoon left for alternative lodging while we were there for the same reasons we listed above.

I've stayed in 1 star to 5 star hotels, and Mango Moon is great. The staff (Rebecca, John, and Diego) are friendly and warm. The room is big, bright, comfortable decorated in tropical decor. The shower has room for 2 and the A/C is cold... The friendly staff will cook you anything for breakfast and Diego is an excellent chef for dinner. Oh, the view... is stunning. The sun sets, right in front of you as you sip your mango margarita! I definitely,
will stay here again.
No Thanks

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Practice squad addition Dunn was kick return phenom in college
Green Bay - Packers coach Mike McCarthy said he would use this week to determine how he would go about replacing Jeremy Ross on returns.
And while Randall Cobb stands as the odds-on favorite to handle at least one of the duties, the Packers will be taking a look at undrafted free agent Reggie Dunn, who was signed to the practice squad Monday.
Dunn returned 10 kickoffs for the University of Utah last season and four were for touchdowns. He averaged 51.3 yards per return. He set an NCAA record lwith two 100-yard kickoff returns in one game against California.
The year prior he averaged 23.6 yards on 26 returns with no touchdowns.
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Dunn in the spring and he took part in three preseason games, averaging 36.5 yards on two kickoff returns and 9.9 yards on seven piunt returns.
"I've been in contact with them for a couple of weeks," the 5-9, 178-pound Dunn said after practice Monday. "They wanted to bring me up here for a work out after the bye.
"I worked out this morning and they signed me when I was done. Then I went out to practice."
It's probably a long shot that the Packers would turn to Dunn right away, but like with DuJuan Harris last year, he could start to grow on them and become someone they're willing to try.
McCarthy is in a bit of a bind because if he doesn't use Cobb, he doesn't have a lot of options. Rookie RB Johnathan Franklin worked there, but with James Starks (knee) and John Kuhn (hamstring) potentially out this week, he might not want to risk working Franklin there.
Newly signed RB Michael Hill does not have return experience and isn't the explosive kind of runner you'd want on kickoff returns, but McCarthy didn't rule him out.
"Well, he's definitely someone we will look at," McCarthy said. "He doesn't have a history there, but he has natural run skill. I like what he's done in his time here."
Dunn would have to prove he's sure-handed in order to get a chance at returns. It would mean releasing somebody to make room for him on the 53-man roster. He plays wide receiver, but the Packers are already down to four and aren't going to let one of them go.
Dunn said he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.2 and 4.26 seconds. Published reports confirmed the 4.26 mark, which he said was taken with a stopwatch and not electronically.
Here's a video of one of his pro day workouts:

Surprisingly good news yesterday! After working so hard to imrove my scores over the last 7 mos, I decided to take my increased scores for a test run. I applied for 3 cards online. 1) Instantly approved by Bloomingdales ($300). called their credit dept, limit increased to $800!!! 2) Instantly approved for a Walmart card ($400). 3) Applied for a Target Card, app denied! I was hoping to apply for a unsecured card credit card, mainly the Macys Amex Card. I figured since Bloomingdales and Macys are both financed by DSNB, and after already being approved by DSNB for the Bloomy's card, I would have a shot. I'm aware that I would need to apply in-store for the AMEX. Does anyone have any experiences with approvals for the Macys AMEX or know their required scores or if it matters if you've already been approved for one of DSNB's credit products? Thanks in advance for any and all replies!!!
What's your current score?
I think you have a better shot at the Macy's store card, and then in 6 months asking for it to be upgraded. They love to see usage on the card..
If you apply for the AMEX in store, make sure it's a decent purchase with it.. a couple hundred bucks..
Based on the credit amounts your getting, I don't think you'll get a Macy's AMEX but you would probably qualify for the store card.

I don't think you will get the AMEX either. I believe that they usually are looking at a 700+ score (or more) for AMEX. I think Bloomie's also has a AMEX (or VIsa?) co-branded card. Since they and Macy's are issued from the same bank, I would be more likely to say if they gave you a store card, so will Macy's, but hey - stranger things have happened. When you apply, I think they consider you for the AMEX first, and if you don't qualify you will get the store card.
When my scores were similar to yours, I got the store card with a 1k limit. I was just able to get itpgraded to the AMEX this month.
knightlynews wrote:
Just got home from Macys, you guys were right. Got approved for the Macys card, not the AMEX. The only thing that sucked was my approval was for $300 like the Bloomingdales card, but when I called customer service, I was told that they only increase limits when you apply online, not in the store! Could have stayed home and applied and got a higher limit...lol! All in all, still pumped to get a Bloomys, Macys and ,Walmart card in 48 hours, 6 months ago I couldnt have gotten a can of soda on credit! I Gotta remember this credit journey is a marathon, not a sprint!!! Stay on top of these cards, and my cap1 secured card and more approvals and inceases will come. Thanks everyone for the tips!
Once you get the card and activate it... make your first payment for your purchase (I know early) then call the backdoor number and tell them that you don't feel the credit line is enough... they can increase new lines... Then after 3 statements and 3 more payments, call and ask for increase again... should always be SP's (they are always saying hp's these days which is annoying since it never seems to be.) Then if you get a nice big jump at 3 months... then apply for upgrade to amex.
I was approved or macy amex instore for 800cl instore and $3000 Amex. I had a credit score of 690 EQ and 695EX with a 90 day late from 2008 that paid off and clsoed on 2011. I believe if you dont have a lot of inquires and have the income to support it you should be approved.
Im hoping to get my Amex macys soon since i always pay off the entire balance

The song is blowing up the dance and music charts in the UK and is steadily climbing the charts here in the US. Last week, "Don't Wanna Be Waiting" jumped from the number 21 spot on the UK Musicweek Upfront Club Chart to the number 6 spot. The song also peaked at the number 2 spot on the UK Musicweek Commercial Pop Club Chart, falling just short of One Direction who secured the number 1 spot. In the US, Grace Valerie is steadily moving up the NY Music Pool Chart from 42 to 39 and reached the number 16 spot on the BDS Dance Radio Airplay Chart. Valerie also recently entered the BDS CHR / Top 40 Airplay Chart at the number 84 spot.
"Don't Wanna Be Waiting," produced and co-written by Grammy-winning producer Randy Jackson, officially arrived on iTunes late last year. In just two days, this single raced to the No. 1 position on KingOfSpin.com, a favorite destination for DJs and radio producers seeking the most exciting new music. Last month, the song charted at the No. 2 position on SiriusXM's "20 on 20" channel and hit No. 1 on WNRG 107.9 FM - Florida's Energy Dance Mix Radio!
Check out the video here, which premiered on MTV Logo's NewNowNext page: http://www.newnownext.com/grace-v-dont-wanna-be-waiting/01/2013/
After signing with Dream Merchant 21, music-industry veteran and American Idol judge Randy Jackson's record label, the 22-year-old Moscow native took the necessary steps forward and moved to Los Angeles. The beautiful pop sensation continues to make a name for herself and recently attended The Grammys. Valerie's first hit, "When the Lights Go Down," shot her career into full speed when it reached over 1.5 million views on YouTube. Valerie is currently performing in clubs and venues across the nation.

he wants to see her all the time now and it is driving me crazy. My husband starting having an affair when I was six months pregnant because he decided he really didn't want to have any kids and that was his way of getting out. Now that DD is here (she was born in Dec) he wants to see her all the time. As we are working on our divorce and getting our house ready to sell I am living in the house and he is living with a friend. We decided he would come and see her on Mon and Wed nights after work and on Sunday afternoons. Now he calls me on Saturdays and wants to come over and tonight he decided he wants to come over. I don't understand how he can go from not wanting to have kids to wanting to see her almost every day. It is driving me crazy. I can't wait until we get divorced and we have an agreement that outlines the specific times he gets her so he doesn't just decide when to come. I want him to spend time with her, but this is getting ridiculous, I am trying to work getting past him and he is always there. I am just frustrated with the whole situation.
For someone who said he didn't want a kid
Comments (5)
Why are you mad that he actually wants to spend time with his daughter? I understand you are trying to get over him, but I don't think this is an issue for you to be mad about. If it bothers you that much to see him then arrange for him to pick her up at an alternate location (e.g. his family's house or your family's house). That way you can drop her off and he can pick her up and you won't have to see him.
I do really apprciate the fact that he wants to spend time with her, especially because I know after reading a lot of posts on the board that a lot of men aren't even willing to do that. What bothers me is that he wants to spend time with her when he doesn't have anything better to do and when he is there I have to be someplace else. This will be the 5th day in a row that I don't really get mommy time because he wants to see her, but if I say no he pitches a fit. All her baby stuff is at our house so he doesn't really have anywhere to take her, and if she gets upset he usually makes me calm her down so he doesn't want to be with her without me there. We have a schedule and I just want him to respect that. If I ask him to watch her on a Friday or Saturday night so I can go out, he can't because then he would miss drinking beer with his friends, he only comes when it is convienent to him and that is what bothers me.
When he comes to the house you leave...end of story. He'll complain, but he'll live. I can understand your frustration on him wanting to be with her when it's convient for him.
Danielle- Mom to 3!
"Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference. ~unknown
My guess is that you're not so much upset that he's wanting to see her, it's his inability to grow up, to plan, and continued refusal to respect you - your wishes, your time, your space.
My advice is:
Inform him that you have a schedule and he needs to respect your time. You will expect him to stick to that schedule. Should he wish to visit outside of his times perhaps you'd like to make it okay for him to ask, but only if he is willing to respect your answer, yes or no, with or without explanation, and only with appropriate advanced warning.
Don't answer the phone if it's not his time to arrange a visit. He can leave a message :)
Seriously, pack up a baby bag (or better yet, give him a list of what he needs), and have baby set to go when he arrives. Buh-bye, see you when you get back! Your space is YOUR space, you do not have to let him in. So /what/ if all the baby stuff is there. You can leave, with baby, with just a bag right? So can he. He'll cope. The baby will cope.
All the best,

The Society launched their annual Young Economist of the Year competition in 2007, in association with Tutor2U, the online teaching and student resource business.
In the Spring term of each year, any school students studying A level or International Baccalaureate courses are invited to write a unique essay of between 1,000 to 2,500 words, on a subject set by the President of the Royal Economic Society, calling on key elements of their studies, examples from the world around them and imaginative discussion. Each year's topics for the essay will be advertised through Tutor2U and the RES website.
The essays are judged by a team of school judges organised by Tutor2U with the final list of winners judged by the President of the RES and 2 expert judges (usually elected members of the RES Council). The winner of the Young Economist of the Year prize is announced in August each year, with the prize presentation to be made at the RES Annual Public Lecture in London. The winner of the Young Economist of the Year receives an award and wins £1,000, with runners-up each receiving £500.
Due to the large number of entries we regret that no feedback can be provided for individual essays.
The 2015 Young Economist of the Year essay competition is now open.
School students are now invited to choose one of the topics below to write an essay of between 1,000 to 2,500 words, on one of the subjects below, set by the RES judging panel, calling on key elements of their A Level or International Baccalaureate courses, examples from the world around them and imaginative discussion. The RES judges are Sir Charles Bean (RES President, former deputy governor of the Bank of England), Stephanie Flanders ( award winning BBC journalist and Economics Editor, now J.P. Morgan Asset Management's chief market strategist for the UK and Europe) and Professor Jonathan Haskel (Imperial College and elected member of RES Council).
The essay topics for 2015 are:
1. "Countries like Greece caused the Eurozone crisis by running up too much debt, so it is only fair that they should bear most of the burden of fixing it." Discuss.
2. Should the Government support manufacturing? If so, how?
3. Should raising GDP be the primary objective of economic policy?
4. "The rising gap between rich and poor is not just bad for society, it is bad for growth." Discuss.
5. Should "fracking" be allowed? If so, who should benefit?
6. "It is immoral for the drug companies to charge large sums for drugs that are cheap to manufacture." Discuss.
7. "High saving promotes faster growth. So having more savers in the global economy should be good for our long run prosperity."
8. "Does the economic case favour a new airport runway at Heathrow, Gatwick or elsewhere?"
The first prize will once again be £1,000 together with an engraved trophy together with cash prizes for the other leading essays.
Our partners in this competition, Tutor2U will cover many of these topics in their blogs - further details from Tutor2U.
The deadline for submitting essays is Tuesday 30 June 2015 at 2359 hours (GMT).
All applicants are asked to note the following criteria:
• The competition is open to all students who are currently studying GCSE, AS / A2 Level or IB Economics only (but all international students studying these courses are welcome to apply)
• All essays must be submitted online using the official online entry form which will be uploaded to this account.
• The maximum word count for entries is 2,500 words
• The word count includes footnotes, but excludes references and bibliography.
• Only one entry per student is permitted
• No revisions to entries are permitted once submitted
• Please note that entries to the competition should be unique (i.e. not published elsewhere or submitted to other essay competitions.)

This paper proposes an object recognition and detection method by a combination of Support Vector Machine Classifier (SVM) and Rotation Invariant Phase Only Correlation (RIPOC). SVM is a learning technique that is well founded in statistical learning theory. RIPOC is a position and rotation invariant pattern matching technique. We combined these two techniques to develop an augmented reality system. This system can recognize and detect objects from image sequences without special image marks or sensors and show information about the objects through a head-mounded display. Performance is real time.

Life is Beautiful
Hey! What up? Typical music junkie, (however, I dress like I work at Macy's haha). Music is literally my life. I work as a musician (drummer) in a traveling band that plays all over the mid-west, I go to school in St. Paul pursuing a B.S. in music production, and producing my own material takes up a fair amount of my free time. Future is pretty open and up in the air right now. Hoping to stay in the business doing anything from producing to playing professionally. Not the end of the world if I don't. Nice to have dreams thought right? Haha. I am extremely tight with my family. My parents and my sisters are some of my best friends. I love a night out drinking OR a night in (I spend all my weekends out working, so I typically prefer relaxing on an off night). Extremely energetic. I work my a$$ off at whatever I get into, and try to be the best I can be. I don't like to waste my time. I like to fall asleep every night feeling I accomplished something with my day. I live my life realizing it is short, precious, and beautiful. I take nothing for granted am very appreciative and thankful. Have a tattoo, plan on getting more soon. Hate to admit it, but I am pretty sure I'm a hopeless romantic. I am extremely shy and don't say a whole lot (great listener though), unless I feel real comfortable. Look at life and relationships slightly poetically. Searching for "that girl." Looking for someone who is passionate (like myself), affectionate, and understanding. Someone who puts a smile on my face every day. Looking for someone I can be comfortable around and allows me to be me. Looking for that girl that sees me and goes, "Yeah, that guy is with me." (Cheesy but true.)

McNally Smith College of Music, Saint Paul, MN
Favorite TV shows: Law and Order SVU, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, and my all time favorite: Friends. Favorite Bands: Iron Maiden and Dream Theater. Saw them both live and got to meet Dream Theater.
My current job is a musician, but I also enjoy it has a hobby. I like to produce my own music and when I get real down time, I like to just sit and listen to music. Like to eat out and hit clubs and bars the nights a year I can.
The last two books I read were The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx and The Dirt by Motley Crue. The best books I have ever read.

This guest video post today from my mate over at Go Sleeveless, Rylan Duggan, gives women a great way they can measure their own arm fat levels without using any equipment at all.
Why would you want to do this?
It's the perfect way to measure your progress especially if you don't have any access to a tape measure, and to be honest, I really don't rate the use of calipers – you know those ugly looking pinch test things – unless they are the ones that cost about $500.
Rylan, if you don't know, is internationally renowned as the go to expert for women wanting to get rid of their flabby arms and has been featured on CNN and other media outlets as well as just releasing his own book on how to get Totally Toned Michelle Obama Arms in 21 Days.
By the way, I just got my copy from Amazon yesterday and have already started reading to try and get a greater insight into how to help my female clients conquer this problem.
So listen and learn ladies, cause this is a great tip.
Alright, what do you reckon?
Easy to do isn't it!
Now if any one wants to learn from Rylan I can highly recommend his Go Sleeveless Get Sexy Arms Program and if you really want to take action and order from any link on this page I will throw in a special access all areas interview that Rylan and I did together on our fat loss nutrition secrets that we both share.
It's rare to find someone in the industry that has the same opinions as I do on what people should and shouldn't eat and my boy Rylan is one of those.
I don't give this audio out for free so you'll only get it with paid access to my programs.
This is your way to get it for a fraction of that investment. Just head on over to http://www.loseyourflabbyarms.com and make sure you email me your receipt that Clickbank will give you to daniel(at)dpmperformance.com.au and I'll send your audio straight thru.

- You could say that again! Same to you! Tango Niner Two | I'm Tyler and I was born in '92 It's been forever since I'm posted anything on there... I don't have as much time to blog/social set work/do anything tech related as I used to.
Let's see... Last October my older brother got married, beginning of November I moved to Peoria, and end of November I drove to Georgia with my folks for Thanksgiving. Been trying to take it easy since then; just working and living life. =) It's just opposite here - high of -5 on Monday and a high of 40 today. Man, it's been so long since I've been riding... might have to get out for a bit on Monday when I visit my folks!
- 01-02-2014 06:30 PM - permalinktrigger123come back to chat :( my laptop died come back now though please dont leave me alone with them lol
- Spirit turned 2 last February. I just looked up when I got him on my blog... he was sooo shaggy when I bought him! Couldn't help but laugh. =)
Spring seemed to only last a couple weeks here - it's already been feeling like summer for a while. We did get a pretty nasty spring storm two nights ago (same night as the Moore, OK tornado) that took our pole barn out (thankfully not the horse barn) with a straight-line wind. Snow that late? Craziness! How much did you get?
lol! Bareback is definitely... interesting... during shedding season. One year Oakey was shedding so bad that I got enough hair to make a horse-hair blanket if I'd wanted to. =P
I got to go trail riding on a Friesian a couple weeks ago (I think she was about 17 hands). It was super awesome! One of the most challenging trails I've been on, too. I couldn't get over how bumpy she was, too (first time to be on a Friesian). I don't think I stopped smiling the who ride!
- Holy Cow, it's been forever since I've logged in...
For sure! Busy isn't all that bad - keeps me out of trouble (for the most part). =P Oakey's doing awesome! I haven't had too much time to ride him lately, but I'm hoping that with the weather getting nice I'll get to get out sometime. Spirit's getting more tame - I can pet him without him shying away. He loves chasing the cows, with drives my Dad nuts. =P I just noticed that his coat is changing colors, too! Before it was a light buckskin, but It's turning dark grey as his winter coat falls out.
Anything new and exciting happen in the last three months?
- lol!
How's the schooling going?
Not too much... work's keeping me pretty busy, but it isn't too bad - averaging between 7 and 9 hour days. Krav Maga class (a martial art) makes sure that I don't get enough sleep each night, though =P
- I still haven't gone out to see her! D:
I'm going to send Heather a text and see when it'd be good to come out and see how everything's set up in all.
Glad to hear yours are doin' well!
- 15 days later... =P
Life's great, thanks! I'm super glad that summer's finally rolling in – the horses are happy to have fresh grass, and work's picking up (most of my work is outdoors, so winters are slow), so it's great. =) How're you doing?
- That's good, I'm working on getting out to see Sweet Thing, my new lease with option to buy
I'm excited to leave for college in September as well.
How're your horses doin'? :p
- Hey! What's up!?
Haven't talked to you in forever, what's good? :p lol
- Good, good! It was a beautiful day here, too; though a bit nippy. Bummer you could spend much time outside... I had to work inside all day, so I can kind of relate. But there was a really pretty sunset, so that was nice! =D

Review quote
"Finally, the book I've been waiting for! Grounded in a developmental approach, Templeton and Gehsmann skillfully walk us through both the content and the process of literacy instruction. In every chapter, readers are treated to a gold mine of research-based strategies and vivid classroom vignettes that make effective instruction come alive." - Sheila W. Valencia Professor, Curriculum & Instruction, University of Washington "This book has so many strengths! The authors have created an engaging text that features an expert weaving of theory and practice, and detailed accounts of students' literacy development. From this base, the authors provide comprehensive and timely suggestions for instruction that helps all students develop as literate individuals. This book will be an important resource for beginning teachers, as they address the challenges and realize the promises of teaching in the era of the Common Core State Standards." -Peter P. Afflerbach, Professor, Curriculum & Instruction, University of Maryland, College Park "Teaching is a multigenerational profession. Our profession's challenge is to teach reading and writing in a way that all educators can teach all children. Templeton and Gehsmann do just that in a developmentally-responsive integrated way. They bring pre-service and experienced teachers to common ground by connecting theory and practice through the lens of researcher, professor, historian, and classroom teacher. They present practical, "apply right now" techniques to assess and teach all students in all classrooms." -Lori Ulewicz Curriculum Coordinator, ELA K-12, Troy School District, Michigan --------------------------------------------------- "The major strengths of this manuscript are the thoroughness and perspective offered in the chapters. I liked how the authors provided information about specific issues for struggling readers; typically this is missing from more general texts (and only found in more advanced reading methods texts)." -Meadow Sherrill Graham, West Virginia University "Writing is engaging, examples are plentiful and realistic, material is current, yet the book addresses historical precedents with respect." "The book is engaging, well connected to teaching and learning settings and materials." "This is as comprehensive and well-written a treatment of elementary literacy methods as I have seen. My experience with such books extends back to the mid-1960s." -Robert Timothy Rush, University of Wyoming "The way it progresses developmentally - easier to see how things build from emergence on up. I like the chapter beginnings with characteristics and then giving content appropriate for that level." -Melissa Caraway, University of Dallas Dept. of Education "The text is very timely, scholarly and offers practical applications. There are very few texts that incorporate all three issues." -Dr. Annette M. Dobrasz, Niagara University, NY

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.
