Wednesday's news conference unexpectedly welcomed Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" while introducing the lighter side of Thunder general manager Sam Presti.
The habitually tight-lipped Presti spent 15 minutes of his hour-long interview session freely sharing his thoughts on music, movies, television, Jay-Z, James Brown, Woody Guthrie, plus Bob Dylan's recent performance at the Zoo Amphitheater.
It all began harmlessly enough when Presti was asked what he did during the offseason to "decompress" after OKC advanced to last season's NBA Finals and lost 4-1 to the Miami Heat.
"I like music documentaries," Presti began. "For those of you who haven't seen the new George Harrison documentary, it's fascinating. It's a long watch, but well worth it."
An accomplished drummer, Presti produced three music CDs where all proceeds benefitted the Extra Ordinary Needs Fund at Children's Hospital in Boston, which is where Presti attended Emerson College.
When the topic kept veering away from basketball, Presti smiled and joked: "Everybody knows I'm like really open about all this stuff. You're catching me on a good day."
Would you like to be a producer in your second job?
"I don't know. I just got hooked on it. I just think the creative process is really fascinating and to see people working through that, and a lot of times how spontaneous things are. These historical songs, artistic creations, like somebody sitting in the studio and he just decides at the last minute 'What if we just put this on there?' and it becomes that piece that just ties it all together."
Don't all basketball people secretly want to be musicians?
"For me, it's not really the music part. It's more something I'm interested in. Someone like George Harrison and what inspired him and his mentality being part of that group, things he accomplished."
Is it similar to how you put a team together?
"To make that connection is probably to take the job too seriously. I just find enjoyment in it."
So, is your goal to have the Thunder stay on the charts for as long as Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" (741 weeks from 1973-1988)?
"It's really interesting just to see how they collaborated, the things that were happening socially at the time, kind of go into that."
"I did see Dylan at the Zoo Amphitheater while he was here. … He was really good. The other thing about seeing Dylan here was he's a huge (Woody) Guthrie fan. I kept thinking to myself, 'I wonder in this performance if there's anything special in there because his hero was born here (in Okemah)? Did this performance mean anything more to him because that's his idol?' "
When the topic returned to basketball and Presti was asked how negotiations were progressing with potential restricted free agents James Harden and Eric Maynor, Presti playfully quipped: "Well, as I was saying about 'Dark Side of the Moon.' It's a really great album …."
Seen any good movies lately?
"Well, I think the movie you're referring to ("Thunderstruck," starring Thunder small forward Kevin Durant), I have seen previous screenings and I think he's a tremendous basketball player. No, he's a multi-talented individual and the thing I really love about him is he's such a good-natured person. We're so fortunate to have in the organization. He personifies so much of what we want to be about as an organization. He grows in all these different ways and I'm happy that he enjoyed that process."
If you could contact VH1 and make them do an album documentary, who would it be about?
"Oh, man. That's hard. Can we go back to the negotiating questions? I'm going to go with the first thing that popped in my head. An artist named Elliott Smith (who died in 2003 at age 34). He had an album called 'XO.' He was kind of a folk, artsy guy, a fascinating songwriter. I'd love to see kind of how he developed the sings on that album. And then pretty much anything by James Brown I would be fascinated by, just to see how he guided the bands because the bands were just so tight, so well put together. 'Kind of Blue' by Miles Davis, to see that history basically coming together. That would be awesome. I'll stop there. I could go on."

Chris Morales has squeezed himself into a number of packed U.S. Cellular Connection Stage shows at Summerfest in recent years.
But on June 29, Morales, along with his Milwaukee band, the Living Statues, had the best seat in the house: on the stage, for its own show.
"It was definitely a good look," Morales said of his vantage point. "We've seen some of our favorite acts on the U.S. Cellular Connection Stage, so it was quite an honor to be up there and perform. It was our best gig so far."
Much of the large crowd was there for the night's stage headliner, the Neighbourhood. But the Statues, a promising throwback garage rock trio that's already opened for Walk the Moon,Best Coast and the Vaccines, and shares the same manager as Mayer Hawthorne, probably won some new fans with its animated set and catchy songs from its recent debut EP, "Knockin.'"
Who's who: Drummer Morales, 24; guitarist and lead vocalist Tommy Shears, 24; bassist Alex Thornburg, 24. Morales spoke for the band.
Day jobs: Morales is a research biologist at a chemical company. Shears is a copywriter. Thornburg is a civil engineer.
Band name backstory: We first landed at the Statues. Statues are built as memorials for important people, and we all want someday to be memorialized for some type of impact musically or personally. But right now, while we're alive, we're the Living Statues.
Early influences: All the guys have separate answers for this, but for me, it was seeing Michael Jackson videos. That guy just oozed musical flawlessness, and that has always stuck with me, that magic he brought to the stage. So I started playing music when I was 14.
When the band formed: Tommy and I played together when we were in high school. I went to Marquette, he went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but we stuck together and would write songs here and there. In the fall of 2011, we had a show at the Annex at Marquette, and I invited my buddy Alex to come check us out. It was a garage-rock duo with a White Stripes/Black Keys vibe, and that was fun, but a lot harder than it looks to pull off. We wanted to fill out the sound, and we invited Alex for a practice and had the chemistry right away. Our first gig as a three-piece was December 2011. We opened for Walk the Moon at Club Garibaldi. The next year, they opened for Panic! at the Disco and blew up; it was crazy. It was as good of a first show as anybody could be a part of.
Landing Mayer Hawthorne's manager:The Majestic Theatre in Madison offered us a support slot for Mayer. A funny thing happened prior to that show where Tommy had this weird accident and had to have surgery on his hand. This was two or three weeks prior, so we weren't sure if he was able to perform, but he played in another band in college and reached out to his guitarist friend, and we brought him up for practice, and he learned all the songs in a day.
So Mayer's manager, Jeff Klein, heard about us after reading a review of the show, and the review had some higher remarks for us. So the manager was like, "Who the heck are these guys who are somewhat outperforming my guy?" He reached out to us, bought all of our music, and said, "I see a lot of potential in you." We finally hooked up with him in September 2013.
It's a world's difference (with Klein). If you're a Milwaukee band reaching out to a blog or venue or promoters, you could be anybody. To have that management push you along, and they have a history, and they have artists under their belts, it makes things a lot easier.
Working on "Knockin'": Through Jeff's contacts, we were fortunate enough to get the opportunity to record at Converse Rubber Tracks in Brooklyn; it's a community-based recording studio where bands get free studio time. Converse took care of the mixing and everything and provided our studio engineer and co-producer, Jason Finkel. He was an assistant engineer to Pharrell Williams for a number of years. He totally got the whole rock 'n' roll vibe and pushed us. If a guitar line didn't sound good, he'd say, "Tom, that sounded like a weed whacker." We demoed the songs ahead of time and were prepared, so we just went in there and banged it out in four days. ("Knockin'" is free to stream and download at longlivethestatues.com, and available on iTunes,Spotify and Soundcloud.)
The songwriting process: It's collaborative. Usually one of us comes to the group with a demo or a half a demo.
Favorite song so far: I'm really proud of the whole EP, but "Extra Day" stands out. Like most of our songs it's about a girl; this one's about having that time to to capture a loved one's heart despite prior experiences. It throws you right into the song. It's fast, it's got a catchy chorus. It's a punchy, three-minute track.
Explain your look: There's a nostalgic throwback element to those classic bands in the '60s that rocked the suits. A lot of bands today, they just wear whatever they want on stage, and we wanted to play that line of sophistication, but then get a little dingy and dirty on stage where we're sweating and playing semi-abrasive music. It's a good contrast between the music and the look.
We all get our suits from H&M; we coordinate all of that stuff ahead of time and work with Jeff. It's not always the white shirt with the black suit. Sometimes its black on black, or sometimes a striped shirt. And we all slick our hair back. Each of us uses a different product, anything from Groom & Clean to Redken to Bed Head.
Best merch item: We have this standard white T-shirt with our black Living Statues lightning-bolt logo. It's got a very vintage feel to it. Alex designed the logo, the shirts and band posters. At the Summerfest show, we saw a 5-year-old girl with one of our XL shirts on. It was endearing.
Dream act to open for: Collectively, if we had to say someone, it would be the Strokes or Arctic Monkeys for sure. Those guys have been a very close influence for us, so opening for someone of that caliber would be incredible.
In the works: We're working on some new songs. They're definitely in a similar vein; we're pushing the songwriting and keeping everything tight and succinct but still explosive, taking that garage-rock sound and pushing it further to what that sounds like in 2014. We've been getting quite a few looks from agencies and record labels. And we'll have a music video for "Extra Day" out in the near future.
Where do you want to be in five years? We see ourselves putting our music out to a larger audience and gigging outside of Milwaukee. First and foremost, we want to make music that we want to listen to, and if we're doing that, people will get it.
Next gig: 6:30 p.m. July 26 at the Brady Street Festival on the Michelob Ultra East Side Vibes Stage. Free admission.

This is Camelot Park, where families can roar around curvy courses in growling go-karts and smack baseballs with aluminum bats at the batting cages. After chasing checkered flags and practicing their swings for the zombie apocalypse, guests take it down a notch to putt around waterfalls, a pink castle, and a painted pagoda on the 18-hole mini-golf course. Afterward, guests can play arcade and redemption games inside or fire streams of water at each other from aboard bumper boats. Party packages combine these attractions but throw in pizza and a personal party host.1251 Oak St.Bakersfield, CA US

California Paintball ParkRead MoreGiant Paintball Park's five locations spider across Southern California, causing flickering rainbows of color that splatter players failing to find cover. Shelter such as castle walls or Old West storefronts dot fields at the Alpine and Lakeside locations, and in Bellflower, Hollywood Sports places players in a 23-acre universe populated with authentic movie sets from the likes of Starship Troopers and Godzilla. At SC Village in Chino, camouflaged paintballers trek through 25 fields of jungle and desert landscape, popping off rounds from behind mesh-covered tanks and army-green helicopters. The wide open battle zones of California Paintball Park in Castaic, meanwhile, challenges competitors' long-distance sharpshooting as they navigate gigantic wooden spindles and wooden forts.

Players fire off rounds from Kingman air guns while ducking behind rusted, paint-splattered oil drums, stacks of large tires, or the big yellow dump truck left behind by Godzilla's toddler. Each battleground presents a different challenge?the turf airball course is populated by inflatable obstacles, and the woodsball field forces teams to traverse forested grounds made hazardous by wetlands and overgrowth. After a grueling match, players can take refuge in the shaded picnic areas to rest, refuel, or brush up on Sun Tzu's lesser-known text, The War of Art.15112 Sierra Hwy.Santa Clarita, CA US
Mulligan Family Fun CenterRead MoreMulligan Family Fun Center's three locations surround parents and kids with sprawling smorgasbords of kinetic entertainment. Outside, each park's sunny grounds encourage healthy activity with putt-testing miniature-golf courses and the hairpin turns of go-kart tracks. In the batting cages, aspiring sluggers test their swing while recognized major-league sluggers test their disguise against the park's do-not-admit posters. Back inside, climbers scale the rock wall?s vertical challenges and friends battle friends in laser tag?s intense light-based combat. Each location also has its own signature activities. The Torrance location's rookie go-karts, for example, enable younger drivers to take a turn down the track, whereas the Palmdale location boasts a longer, 1,500-foot track for children and adults alike.525 W Ave. PPalmdale, CA US

I am always amazed that Shottenheimer gets such bad press. At Cleveland he was in the playoffs 3 out of 4 seasons. In his last season Byner fumbled on the one yard line when he was about to score and Cleveland goes to the superbowl instead Denver gets the ball and wins in the last seconds, Martys fault. HE won with Bernie Kozar which every so called NFL expert said he had no business in the NFL since he through sidearm. He never was as good after Marty left and one of the coaches that followed was Belechek who sucked. At the Charges he was 14-2. Against New England they intercepted and could have run out the clock and instead of just falling down or running out of bounds the idiot takes off running, fumbles and New England wins in the last second. Martys fault again. How many times has the Chargers gone to the superbowl since even though they had teams that were expected to go all the way.

LOUIS, MO - SEPTEMBER 03: Running back Jackie Battle #26 of the Kansas City Chiefs is tackled by cornerback Quincy Butler #36 of the St. Louis Rams during the third quarter of the preseason game at the Edward Jones Dome on September 3, 2009 in St. Louis, Missouri.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Marty Schottenheimer was in town for the Chiefs' alumni weekend before heading back to his home in Charlotte, N.C., and back into retirement. Perhaps some Chiefs fans should have tackled him before he got to the Kansas City airport. Yes, it's getting that desperate in these parts. The Chiefs not only fell to 1-3 on Sunday with yet another head-scratching stinker this one 37-20 to division rival San Diego they also gave the appearance of a team completely bent on self-destruction. This again was the antithesis of "Martyball," the dominant form of Chiefs football that stressed intimidating defense and ball security during the 1990s. On Sunday, the Chiefs committed five first-half turnovers while falling behind 27-6. The Chiefs also committed seven penalties in that half for 65 yards, and fell asleep repeatedly on defense, allowing Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers to virtually point out his targets before connecting on passes as he completed 14 of 18 for 175 ...

Home > Treatment Articles > Migraine Articles > Migraine Headaches
Migraine headaches are a very common occurrence in some 28 million people in the US alone. When they first start appearing, the sufferer might not be able to tell the difference between migraines and headaches. But a migraine headache is a throbbing or pulsating headache which is often one sided – it can begin in a specific area on one side of the head, then spread and build up in intensity over the next couple of hours. It may well be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light or sound. Hands and feet may feel cold or sweaty. Migraine headaches can be a very debilitating condition.
Migraine Headache Solutions
Studies carried out on those seeking migraine headache treatment have suggested that there may be a "migraine personality" as many migraine sufferers have one or more of the following characteristics:
These characteristics may in turn help the sufferer to understand why migraine triggers causes the onset of migraine headaches. While there is no cure for migraine headaches, there are many ways in which the condition can be managed and these include controlling some of the triggers listed below:
If you are suffering from migraines, it may well be that you need to make a significant change in your lifestyle. Here are some of the changes that could make all the difference:
If you are diagnosed with migraine, your doctor will inform you of the different migraine pain relief medications which can be prescribed, together with any possible side effects. He will monitor symptoms like nausea and vomiting. There are two types of medicine used for treating migraines – namely prophylactic medication (taken every day to reduce the severity and frequency) while the other is abortive medication (only taken if a migraine begins).
Some complementary treatments for migraine symptoms include:

TexasBarCLE, TYLA provide young lawyers insight into profession
"I don't know what motivated you to join the legal profession. But what I do know is that a lot of my peers got into this profession to help people. I hope that the same calling will drive you to help others as well." – C. Barrett Thomas, TYLA president-elect
More than 100 young lawyers learned useful information regarding networking, client development, and the importance of pro bono work, and heard advice from judges and experienced courtroom advocates, during a CLE program Friday in Austin.
TexasBarCLE and the Texas Young Lawyers Association hosted "Building Your Career: A Guide for New Lawyers" at the Texas Law Center and also offered the event as a live webcast. Legal professionals devoted their time to share key skills and advice they learned to propel their careers.
"The best advice that I have received from a mentor was to 1.) be excellent in all that you do, 2.) meet as many people as you can, and 3.) give thanks," Adán D. Briones of Boardwalk Pipeline Partners in Houston said.
Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan Hecht discussed "the noble profession" of law and the importance of civility, the jury, and professionalism.
"The general public does not see the sacrifice of lawyers, but sacrifice is an important element of this noble profession," Hecht said.
Other topics included State Bar resources, tips for successful legal writing, negotiation techniques, and practical considerations for starting and building a law practice. According to State Bar statistics, 28 percent of active Texas attorneys are age 36 or younger or in their first five years of practice.
"I don't know what motivated you to join the legal profession," C. Barrett Thomas, president-elect of TYLA, said. "But what I do know is that a lot of my peers got into this profession to help people. I hope that the same calling will drive you to help others as well."
The class will be made available in the TexasBarCLE Online Classroom in May. For more information on upcoming TexasBarCLE events, visit texasbarcle.com.

NY braces for snow, wind; possible road closings
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - As a pair of winter storms head for New York state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is urging downstate commuters to leave their cars home in case major highways are closed for Thursday's evening rush hours.
In a conference call Wednesday, Cuomo told reporters a storm system approaching from the west could drop a foot of snow on upstate New York - while a coastal storm may bring heavy snow to New York City and blizzard conditions to Long Island.
Cuomo said "mass transportation is a prudent option, given that highways may be closed."
As the snow tapers off early Friday, Cuomo said brutal cold may complicate cleanup efforts. The National Weather Service says wind-chill temperatures may dip to 30 degrees below zero in northern New York.
Storm could dump up to 9 inches on parts of Pa.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Pennsylvania is bracing for a significant storm that could dump up to 10 inches of snow in the Pocono Mountains and several inches elsewhere, followed by a blast of dangerously frigid air that will see wind chills plunging to below zero.
The National Weather Service has posted a winter storm warning for northeastern Pennsylvania, where it says snowfall will be heaviest Thursday afternoon and evening before tapering off Friday morning. Forecasters say strong northerly winds will cause blowing and drifting and force temperatures into the single digits.
The weather service boosted its predicted snowfall amounts Wednesday, and now says 4 to 6 inches will fall in the Philadelphia area and 6 to 8 will fall farther north. Western and central Pennsylvania could see anywhere from 2 to 7 inches.
Cuomo pardons three men, clearing their records
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pardoned three men he says deserve a second chance without criminal records.
Seymour Hunter of Manhattan, convicted in 1994 of attempted drug sale, finished rehab and probation and for 12 years has worked at a nonprofit housing elderly, low-income professionals and people fighting HIV. A permanent U.S. resident, the 70-year-old seeks citizenship.
Gerardo Alvarez of Lake Peekskill, convicted in 2002 of drug possession, also seeks citizenship. The 49-year-old, married to a U.S. citizen since 1986, has two children in college, held the same job for 25 years and is active in his church.
Rocco Paciello, of Clinton, was convicted in 1988 of statutory rape for sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend. They later married, raising two children. He retired from the military in 2007.
Pa. gas taxes rise, but lower 2014 prices are seen
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Taxes on gasoline and diesel in Pennsylvania are now higher, the first of three increases that a new law imposes over three years.
Effective on Wednesday, gasoline taxes are going up by 9.5 cents per gallon while diesel taxes are going up by almost 13 cents per gallon.
Under the law, another increase will take place in a year and then again two years after that, in 2017. The tax revenue is supposed to stem a rising backlog of needed repairs or modernization for bridges, highways and mass transit facilities.
While many fuel distributors and gas station owners say they'll pass along the higher cost, gas prices might be headed downward in 2014, anyway.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration is expecting a slight drop in average prices in 2014.
NE Pa. county lays off 22 to close budget deficit
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) - A northeastern Pennsylvania county has laid off 22 workers to help close a $1.4 million budget deficit.
Luzerne County went through with the layoffs on Tuesday. The employees worked in court-related offices and several other departments throughout the county. They are represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
Officials had originally planned to furlough as many as 36 employees, but recent retirements allowed them to reduce the number.
The county employs about 1,400.

PRLog - Aug. 14, 2011 - HOLLYWOOD -- High End or Luxury EV , the like of Rolls Royce "Electric luxury" as they call it, are now a reality. Closer to home, Fisker Karma boss received the keys to a brand new luxury electric production unit recently, at the same time, Tesla is putting the final touch to their coveted and long awaited Model-S 5 passenger High performance Luxury EV. We have seen how Nissan and GM astutely made use of the internet to orchestrate a well executed "premiere", grand entrance on the new market for eco-friendly and affordable HEV and Full EV.
gt_ main_ 560
We are starting to watch more and more ads about green tech, electric cars in particular, being displayed around the world on TV and the mutimedia scene. Thanks to global reach via the internet Dealers and Specialty auto companies are now able to reach customers anywhere on the five continents. The explosive growth in China and their total dependence on oil they do not produce, has forced them to take the lead in the deployment of electric vehicles and EV Taxis as one of the solutions to their energy crisis. There is no doubt the need for affordable and mass produced EVs is now becoming undeniable all around the world.
As with any new technology, it always starts out on the expensive side, computers being an example. With time, prices follow the development curve, but in inverse proportionality. The more established the tech, the less pricy and available it becomes to the middle and lower economic spectrum of the population. So it is no surprise that we are seing the first wave of electric vehicles coming out as Luxury EV with a hefty price tag. The Fisker Karma is ready for delivery. The Tesla Sedan and Toyota RAV4-EV are around the corner,so to speak.
In Europe, Audi and BMW will have surprises of their own in the next 6-12 months. Tata from India is trying to capture the online EV searches/traffic related to this very lucrative segment.We are talking Nano EV. Australia is fast advancing on the road to delivering a luxury electric car to the market. There are many others. Keep informed by visiting my blog at http://LuxuryEV.com .
It is all going to happen and it is going to be fast. RollsRoyce understands well the value of securing a piece of E-RealEstate, a prime location online to promote and showcase their first EV extravaganza, the Phantom Electric. They are displaying it at ElectricLuxury.com and thousands are already getting their "eye candy" gratification by way of the web site.
Not only the companies will need good, well thougt out internet marketing plans, but the dealers also will have to be ready. As they say, location, location........ meaning E-location. Targeted visitors will be key to successful deployment, expansion and the bottom line.
As the Rich and Famous, Celebrities, Tycoons, Magnates and VIPs of the world flaunt their expensive Luxury Electric Toys around, many others not so endowed, will strive to electrify their lifestyle and gain prominence. Yes many will want to become more Evzble, as a way to fame and social recognition, just as it happened with the fast and expensive sport cars of the 70s and on.
With them in mind LuxuryEV.com is being developed to usher in the EV way by providing a forum for blogging about and keeping up with developments in the Luxury electric vehicle sector. Will the major players take note of the immense value of mindshare and E-RealEstate?
Here is a partial list of the Big Stakeholders who will need targeted visitors to their web address:
Alfa Romeo - Aston Martin-Audi - Bentley - BMW - Bugatti -
Cadillac -Ferrari -Fisker Karma- Hummer - Jaguar - Lamborghini -
Lexus -Lightning- Lincoln - Lotus - Maserati - Mercedes Benz -
Porsche - Rolls Royce(electricluxury.com)
One of these companies could have the advantage over the competition
in this High End Luxury EV market by owning any or all the names below?
PrimeEv.com - SelectEv.com - LuxuryEv.com - HighendEv.com - PremiumEv.com
AbsoluteEv.com - DesignerEv.com - EvSupreme.com - SupremeEv.com - Evbydesign.com
MaximumEv.com - OndemandEv.com - LimitededitionEv.com - PremiumEV.com
EV OEMs and the above companies are in a race to have luxury EVs and components on the market by 2012...but the one to claim LUXURYev.com ownership is most likely to dominate the online traffic for the sector. And this can translate in millions over a relatively short time. This, my friend, can add a real and deep shade of green to a car company's financial landscape for years to come...but 2012 is just around the corner....so to speak.
Dr. E, your EV Pal.

Christie Pierce, a retired nurse, has taken up a hobby: photographing the many chipmunks that scamper around her patio. But she's turning it into a business by creating diorama-like scenes and luring the animals to pose in the photos by using nuts and seeds as bait. She, with the help of her husband Paul, is creating her second calendar of chipmunk photos.

Alice (character)
this wiki
|Alice (2267)
|Played by:
|Marcia Brown
Nichelle Nichols (voice)
|Alice (2269)
Alice was a character from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and "Alice Through the Looking Glass".
In 2267, while on the Shore Leave Planet., McCoy mentioned to Sulu that the idyllic planet was like "something out of "Alice in Wonderland". In response, the planet created robots representing the White Rabbit and Alice, basing them on his memories of that tale. The appearance of these two characters was the first clue that all was not as it appeared on that world. (TOS: "Shore Leave")
McCoy and Sulu briefly encountered Alice again, when the Enterprise revisited the Amusement Park planet in 2269. Like before, Alice was seen chasing the White Rabbit. Later, the two officers had a picnic lunch with Alice, the White Rabbit, and a dragon. (TAS: "Once Upon a Planet")

I'm an easygoing person looking for someone that I can build a friendship with and maybe something more.
I live a fulfilled life and love to make others smile. Like most traditionalist I still believe true gentlemen still exist and that chivalry is not dead. At this phase in my life I travel often, but would enjoy the company of that special someone.

I am looking for a God fearing man who is a mature, spontaneous, optimistic individual that appreciates life but doesn't take himself too seriously. So if you're interested send me an email, or maybe we can talk about it in person.

Is looking for my prince
This is the hard part trying to sell yourself. I wish I had better creative writing skills but oh well here it goes. I am a single mom of two beautiful children. I am also a teacher. I work with children that have behavioral issues. This is a very stressful and demanding job but it also very self rewarding. In order to relieve some of this stress I enjoy running and working out. In the summer I go up to my parents place in NH and go swimming, boating, use the wave runners or just relax in the hammock with a good book. My friends tell me that I am the most loyal and trustworthy person they know. They always know they can come to me with a problem and I will listen to them and help work it out with them. I also love to laugh and to be goofy. I have also been told that I have a sarcastic side of me. I don't know if I do or not you would have to see for yourself. I love the Red Sox and the Patriots. I am very proud of the fact that last year I came in second in my families fantasy football league. I am a very simple person and the less drama in my life the better. I am very content sitting watching the sox game with a good beer. As for what I am looking for....hmmm......I could make a list of every quality that I am looking for in a guy but really I don't believe in checklists. What I am really looking for is that connection that you get with someone. I am looking for the spark and excitement. I want to meet that person that will send me a text message that says thinking of you or I love you. I want someone that I can laugh with and be goofy with. I am looking for that guy that is family orientated. Please have your own life to as well because even though I like to hang out with that special someone and spend time with them I also believe that we should also be comfortable doing our own things every once in awhile. So if you think you are the guy I am looking for please drop me a message. I believe there is that one person for everyone I am just looking for

Neal: Arena isn't a good idea right now
County faces money issues, judge stresses
ROBSTOWN -- Building a multimillion-dollar arena at the Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds would be a foolhardy business decision, County Judge Loyd Neal said to members of the Northwest Business Association on Thursday.
"We have serious financial problems in Nueces County right now," Neal said.
Based on current projections for the 2008-09 Nueces County budget, Neal said the county expects $3 million in additional property tax revenue for fiscal year 2008-09, which will be eaten up by spiraling gasoline and electricity bills, rising asphalt costs for roads, increasing costs for court-appointed attorneys and medical cost hikes.
Last week, county commissioners unanimously approved a hiring freeze and promised to closely monitor additional spending. Neal said a preliminary spending review shows the county will go over this year's budget in several areas including utilities, road materials and gasoline.
Next year does not hold promise to be any better, he said.
The existing fairgrounds facilities continue to incur operating losses, which have cost the county roughly $2.4 million in the past 18 months, he said. The current facilities -- a conference center, central pavilion and equestrian center -- are losing $3,287 a day based on a projected operating loss this year of $1.2 million, according to figures from the county auditor's office. Fairgrounds management firm Global Spectrum predicts that the facilities will operate at a similar loss in 2008-09.
County commissioners Peggy Bañales, Chuck Cazalas, Betty Jean Longoria and Oscar Ortiz were not at Thursday's meeting at the fairgrounds.
Cazalas said Thursday he wants to build an arena, but does not have a timeline for when. Bañales and Longoria did not return phone calls, but said as recently as June that they support building an arena.
Ortiz said he wants to build an arena as planned and that the bond money unanimously was approved in late December 2006 by the current commissioners, with then-County Judge Terry Shamsie, to pay for it.
"The money is there, Ortiz said. "We probably need to look around and see what we can get."
After Neal's presentation to about 50 members, several in the group said the proposed arena should not be built in an unstable economy unless it can support itself.
"I think people are going to have to tighten their belts for another year or two at least, so I would hate to see it built, if it is going to require an increase in taxes," said longtime Annaville/Calallen insurance agent Johnnie Bickham.
In June, the county got an update from Naismith Engineering including three potential options for an arena that would cost $23 million, $25.2 million or $28.9 million. Each option would come with an additional $4 million engineering and design fee from Naismith and $1 million in fixtures and equipment charges.
The debt service on the $34 million worth of certificates of obligation approved in late 2006 and issued in 2007 to pay for the Heritage Center arena cost the county $1.5 million this year, or $4,109.58 a day.
Of that $34 million, some has been devoted to other projects, including jail renovations and $6 million to completing the equestrian center at the fairgrounds. The county has roughly $22 million earmarked to pay for the arena project.
The county would have to come up with an additional $5 million to more than $10 million to make up the difference, depending on which project commissioners chose, Neal said, adding one could mean a county tax increase.
Ortiz said he and the other commissioners are looking for alternate sources of funding to pay for the arena but would not elaborate.
If the county builds the Heritage Center at a cost of as much as $34 million, it could bring in $379,257 in additional revenue in 2009-2010, according to Global Spectrum, which would not offset the losses and debt service at the fairgrounds, Neal said.
If the county invests roughly $3 million to $4 million in capital improvements as requested by Global Spectrum, including additional storage, parking lots, horse stalls, air-conditioned exhibition space, an RV park, and a marquee near the entrance where advertising could be sold, the fairgrounds manager has told county commissioners additional events could be booked generating additional revenue of as much as $350,000 a year.
Longtime horse enthusiast and Nueces County Junior Livestock Show supporter Lucille Skaggs said some members had expressed dissatisfaction over the stalled arena project. "I think that they have done more studies on it than we have and if they don't have the money to do it, then it would not be worthwhile to increase taxes to do it," she said.

business ethics is as much about emotional intelligence as technical proficiency.Professor Robert Prentice
the social and ethical dimensions of business problems
"Ethics Unwrapped," a series of free ethics teaching videos, was launched in Fall 2012 by the McCombs School of Business. The videos are available at the Ethics Unwrapped website.
The Business, Government, & Society department focuses research and teaching on the regulatory, political, legal and ethical environment of business. Today's global marketplace is more competitive, more transparent, more culturally and politically diverse, and more fluid than ever before. Future business leaders will need to be able to navigate the legal, ethical and cultural demands of government and society. The BGS department helps students cultivate the skills needed to successfully manage the dynamic business environment of the future.
On May 28, Robert Prentice participated in a behavioral ethics panel discussion at the 41st American Bar Association Conference on Professional Responsibility in Denver, Colorado.
Robert Prentice serves on the steering committee for the Partnership in Business Ethics and on May 18 and 19 participated in the 2015 PBE Conference hosted by the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado.
On May 2 at the 15th Annual Strategy & the Business Environment Conference hosted at the Harvard Business School, Dr. Tim Werner presented a paper entitled "Blacklisted Benefactors: The Political Contestation of Non-Market Strategy" (co-author: Mary Hunter-McDonnell).

What fly fisherman doesn't appreciate a good hummer now and then?
Very nice riseform .
I love hummers .
This photo is money! These little suckers can be so frustrating to capture. Well done.
For creekx:
From the weekend. Yeah, yeah I should be out fishing.
Spot on man!
Here's me fishing the Lower Sac. The person with the camera was a photographer shooting photos for my article in Enjoy Magazine.
I see lots of female rufous and no males where we are, can males be way more green than orange also?
I'm not a hummingbird expert, but I did a little research. Most of the mature males look like the one I pictured with flecks of green spots on their back. 5% of males will have a solid green back.

Cedar Waxwing from my deck last week.
In a tree in my front yard.
I don't see many Cedar waxwings around here. One of my north Idaho favorites is the Western Tanager. They love hanging around the rivers for the bugs, but they've been too elusive for me to photograph.
The other morning I had a deer come out of the woods and join me on the little island I was standing on. First he poops in the water, then walks right up to me and starts sniffing me. This went on for a good 3 or 4 minutes. Finally another deer comes out of the woods and they walk up stream
I hope that deers not poopin in the stilly,That's were my drinking water comes from !
I always have trouble with Cedar waxwings. Their feathers are too perfect, making them look cartoonish. Kerry, that nest shot is amazing.
For creekx...some Western Tanagers that weren't hiding in treetops recently.
And finally, something I don't see every day.... A hummer buzzing and owl.
Ha, love the hummer, owl shot. I have a few humming birds that hang around our house in the spring/summer. One seems to have a particular liking of my Newf, Kuma. He likes to fly down in front of him and hoover as if to say hello. He will do this no matter where the dog is laying in the yard and it appears at times he searches for him. I haven't been lucky enough to get a shot yet.

Doctors urged to prescribe lower medication dosages to reduce patient side effects and protect the environment
A new paper in the journal Science of the Total Environment argues that carefully lowering dosages of many medications has the potential to not only lead to more effective treatment, but also reduce environmental impacts of pharmaceuticals.
Christian G. Daughton and Ilene Sue Ruhoy, in "Lower-dose prescribing: minimizing "side effects" of pharmaceuticals on society and the environment" put forth the idea that the most important variable in achieving a successful outcome of prescription use is through dose. The rise of large, controlled clinical trials and one-size-fits all recommended dosages has led to over-treatment for some patients and more side effects, which, in turn, can result in patients discontinuing their medicine use and accumulating those unused medications in their homes. These unwanted medicines might be flushed down the drain, tossed in the trash, or stored insecurely in the home (where they can lead to accidental poisonings or be misused by other family members).
Improved information sharing might be one tool to help doctors feel more secure about prescribing lower dosages, which in turn may decrease some adverse side effects patients experience from over-treatment and also allow patients to feel that they are more actively participating in their healthcare choices. The authors also note that lower doses for the same medicines are generally prescribed in the European Union and Japan, and that when dosing suggestions are revisited after the release and use of a new drug, they are almost always revised downward.
In addition to fewer side effects, lower dosages may also result in less environmental contamination from pharmaceuticals. One of the primary ways pharmaceuticals enter the environment is through human wastewater containing ingested or topical medicines. Daughton and Ruhoy suggest that if less medicine is used, fewer pharmaceutical compounds will be excreted or washed off, consequently leading to lower levels of drugs in the environment. The authors summarize this approach as sustainable prescribing, an idea that views the patient as not only the person taking the medicine, but also includes the environment and bystanders, such as people who could be hurt by accidental poisoning or prescription drug diversion and abuse.
The full article is available at:
Daughton, C.G., I. S. Ruhoy. Lower-dose prescribing: Minimizing "side effects" of pharmaceuticals on society and the environment. Science of the Total Environment 2013;443:324-337.

Visual Designer Interview
I applied online – interviewed at RetailMeNot (Austin, TX) in July 2013.
Received a call from a hiring manager that was asked about my experience and made me questions about their website.
Interviewer was aggressive; I would even say rude.
I have done many interviews (face to face and over the phone) and this was the shortest and most harsh. In the end I felt like she called me just because she had to (maybe she needed to reach a number).
Before almost hanging up on me, she said that they were not looking for somone with <my experience>, although by email she had said "what a great resume".
Huh. Why calling me, then?

Visual Designer InterviewNo OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. The process took 7+ weeks – interviewed at RetailMeNot (Austin, TX) in March 2012.
Very weird process, and in the end I was sincerely glad that I did not get an offer. Would I have received one, I would have given it a whole lot of thought. I don't buy the "there are no walls in the office" thing.
It seemed that I was interviewing to become the president of the company, and it looked like they wanted to find something wrong with me. The process took longer than long - because the time between two interviews is approximately 2 weeks. After the phone screening, I was there:
1. to meet the human resources person -- who was very kind and the best in this process;
2. the whole team - that lasted me approximately 4 hours;
3. the CEO (another 2 weeks later, another hour or so);
...and finally --
4. after the interview with the CEO, I received an email to see yet another person: the Vice-President of the group, who I absolutely "needed" to meet. Another appointment in the middle of the afternoon (you don't really have a choice) -- and when I got there, the Vice-President could not meet me (**yet ironically I could see her through the glass door**). She could have showed up to say "hi" and somehow explain that she was too busy. Instead, I was interviewed by her assistant, who had no idea of the design process whatsoever, went through a list of items and made the same questions that I had answered already a few times ("what's your design process?").
I didn't feel like I was talking to a person that would work with me. I sincerely was impatient at that point -- would I really like to work with those people?... I started to ask myself. I must have unconsciously talked myself out of the job that day.
The next week the human resources person called me and was very apologetic and embarrassed to tell me "thanks, no thanks" - but I believe it was for the best. I did other interviews (that didn't last half as long) and had a better offer after that. To me, Whale Shark's process was disrespectful and could reflect its culture.
So - if you're interviewing for this position, be aware that you have to be patient and answer the same questions a few times.
Interview Questions
- What's your design process? - be ready to answer that 3 to 4 times. Answer Question

A few weeks ago people were wondering what John McCain would do to keep himself in the spotlight.
He hasn't done a very good job of that so far.
But in the meantime, in just the last week...
Geraldine Ferraro has stepped down from her position with the Clinton team--and with people charging that she is a racist.
A member of the Obama team stepped down after calling H Clinton a "monster."
The Democrat contenders have been trading charges.
A Democrat governor has resigned in disgrace after getting caught in a sex scandal.
Democrats are trading charges over what to do about delegates in Florida and Michigan.
With H Clinton refusing to concede for the good of the party, things should be even more exciting over the next couple of months.

Today in society there is only one word that we live by: fast. Our food is fast, our weight loss is fast, our cars are fast, and our movements are fast. We do not possess the virtue of patience.
As a 19-year-old college student, I understand the need for everything to be fast, especially belonging to a generation where that seems to be the only option. However, it is time we developed some patience.
I am a student at Roberts Wesleyan College. Anyone who has traveled through the area of North Chili and Chili knows of the infamous railroads: the ultimate time killer. At least four times a week I get stuck ...

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration has asked a federal appeals court to immediately suspend a judge's ruling that overturned the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays. The administration says it wants the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco to take action.
The Obama administration says it is in favor of repealing the law, but that letting the ruling of U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips go forward immediately would be a major problem for the military.
In its court filing Wednesday, the government said allowing Phillips' decision now "would create tremendous uncertainty about the status of service members who may reveal their sexual orientation in reliance on the district court's decision and injunction."
