53 year old man | Orangecrest, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-45 within 50 miles of Riverside, CA
Isn't "dating" what we did in high school?
Born and raised in SoCal but have lived several different places. 4 years removed from a 13 year marriage and made it a point to wait until all the B.S. and drama was pretty much behind me before I concerned myself with "dating" or relationships again. I'm an office manager so I'm inside all day (work from home 1-2 days a week), and most of my friends are doing their thing and/or live too far away, so my opportunities to meet new people are limited. Not trying to relive my youth, but definitely want to start getting out more and having fun and would enjoy the company of a like-minded woman to share in the experience. I like women. I don't have a "type" but I know who I'm attracted to when they cross my path... I'm straight-up, no games, what you see is pretty much what you get. And in that regard... yeah, I would like to be in a relationship, when it happens. I think most people would. I know I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone. And I'm not a serial dater, never have been. I'm here to find one person that I get along with and have fun with. That doesn't necessarliy mean I'm determined to "have a girlfriend" immediately, nor does it mean I'm on here to hook up with as many people as I can. I'm just looking to not settle, or make some of the same mistakes I may have made before. If you get that, we're probably off to a good start if there's a connection. Likes: Camping, the beach, the desert, cooking (I'm pretty good...), BBQ, sushi, punk rock, games (board games, card games, trivia games, pretty much any kind of games except head games), Thai food, hockey games, the occasional Vegas trip (used to live there, got kind of burnt out on it but have been a couple times lately), cocktails, dive bars, crossword puzzles (Saturday morning geek pleasure), Hunter S. Thompson, pretty much any kind of music except the Grateful Dead and the "new" country (although I can listen to Johnny Cash or Patsy Cline all day), poker tournaments, hanging out with friends, spending quality time with my kids, traveling, blah blah... Been pretty much everywhere in Calif. and would like to start hitting some other spots. Not that into: Dancing, TV (with exceptions for Jeopardy, Dave Letterman, a good movie or a hockey game), country music (see above), insecure people, jealous people, people that wear Ed Hardy or Affliction shirts, the "club scene" (although I do like to hit the occasional P.R. gig for old times' sake). I own my own home and also an RV that I like to take out as often as possible. My idea of a good time is scoring a spot at Carlsbad or San Clemente, Pismo or the desert (to name a few) and cooking a good jambalaya, enjoying some cocktails and just kicking it with good company. If I don't reply to your "wink" or your email right away, or even at all, please don't be butt-hurt or launch a crusade against all men in general. I'm pretty busy, and I will get back to you if I'm intrigued, but maybe I'm just not interested and I don't like Match's suggestion to click the "No, thanks" button. That just seems so shallow. Thanks for checking out my profile.

Camping, barbequing, cooking a gourmet dinner with some wine and good conversation, independent films, golf, poker, trivia games, sleeping in maybe once or twice a month if I'm lucky...
Mostly read the newspaper. Last book I read was a novel a friend of mine wrote.

2015 CNY Veterans Parade and Expo
Sat., Nov. 7
New York State Fairgrounds
Parade at noon
Expo 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
in Center of Progress
A little about the event:
On Nov. 7 at the NYS Fairgrounds, we will be holding the 8th Annual CNY Veterans Parade and Expo. The purpose of the event is "Thanking Our Veterans" of every generation and conflict.
The one and one-half hour long parade features more than 90 veterans and military organizations from throughout Central New York and beyond. The parade is based on the old-fashioned military style parades that featured military vehicles, local military units, Veterans of Foreign War Posts and American Legions. Every branch of the armed services and every conflict since WWII are represented. Veterans who participated have expressed gratification at seeing the crowds waving flags and clapping for them along the parade route at the State Fairgrounds in Geddes.
The Expo, held in the Center of Progress building, features displays with a special emphasis on military history, local companies, and local organizations helping present military personnel or veterans. Last year, more than 100 organizations took part in the Expo. Organizations and individuals exhibit important artifacts from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, the Civil War, and the Vietnam War. Local groups offer ways to get involved, such as gathering goods to send to deployed troops. The VA and other organizations present information about services available to veterans of any age. There will once again be a presentation about TRI-Care for retirees and a Kids' Area, Sponsored by TOPS, that will feature activities, games, displays and even face painting.
After the success of the past two years, we are excited to announce we will again be holding the
Show Your Stripes Job Fair
during the Expo. Veterans are a very special asset to our community. The best way to keep them here locally is to help them make connections in the community that will maximize their talents and employment skills.
For more information, contact Diana LaMattina Abdella, parade coordinator, at 428-9651 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
******We are also looking for volunteers, to help with setup on Friday or to serve as marshals to help with parking and the parade on Saturday, if interested, please contact Diana.

Baclofen and Alcoholism
I have been an alcoholic for sixteen years and have begged on countless occasions to be sent to rehab. I was treated as insane to even think this could be a possibility. (Why is it impossible to get into rehab? Or is this just the case in Scotland?) Every time I went to my GP to ask for help, I was sent home with Librium for an at home detox on my own. The most I was finally offered, (after twelve years), was six days in an Edinburgh Mental Health Hospital, but once again, a short course of Librium was the treatment. (Two weeks this time, one week on previous occasions.)
I recently came across an article in a newspaper about Olivier Ameisen's work with Baclofen and asked my new CPN, (I haven't had a CPN in years), if there was any way I could try the drug. Incredibly, she said she knew what I was talking about and that there was one doctor in my county who was allowed to prescribe the drug for alcoholism. My CPN duly referred me to this doctor, who arranged for me to go into the same hospital as before, but this time to be treated with Baclofen. That was at Christmas last year and I have been sober ever since.
I must point out, however, two interesting features of my treatment. One is that I have been treated with a very low dose - 30mg daily, taken in 10mg doses at 8am, 1pm and 10pm. This low dosage has worked for me, but I can't help feeling that it would be better to start at a higher dose and gradually reduce, rather than start at such a low dose and risk it not working, thus running the risk of it failing and then being dismissed as ineffective.
Secondly, I found that the bedtime dose brought on a mild, (relatively), asthma attack every night. I have been diagnosed with asthma, bronchitis and the beginnings of emphysema, but apart from one full blown asthma attack, I have never felt that I suffer from these illnesses - no trouble breathing, no coughing fits, etc., but these bedtime attacks had me scared to go to bed. Once I tied them in to the Baclofen, I stopped taking the evening dose and took it instead at 4.30pm. This seemed like a much more appropriate time to take it anyway, as this would have been my critical time of day to start drinking. The asthma attacks stopped, but my breathing in general is affected in a way that wasn't the case before. So I would warn anyone who is prescribing, or being prescribed, Baclofen, that they should take into consideration any lung conditions, and not take Baclofen before going to bed. However, if you don't have lung problems, taking it at bedtime knocks you out, thus eliminating that dreaded insomnia.
Another point I'd like to mention, which may be an indicator of whether or not Baclofen will work for you, is the fact that I was a lone drinker at home. I would like to know if the other people it works for were also lone drinkers. I wonder if it would work for people who enjoy drinking socially, in the pub, having a laugh with their alcoholic friends. This line of inquiry could reveal some interesting results.
One last thing: my alcohol doctor who prescribed the Baclofen in the first place; a hospital consultant; a psychologist and an occupational therapist have all said to me that it is me who is doing it, not the Baclofen. In other words, all of them, including the very person who prescribed it, are saying, indirectly, that Baclofen for alcoholism works as a placebo! They clearly don't know me, or they would know that I am an utter sceptic and that I don't believe anything works until it proves to me that it does. To summarise, Baclofen for alcoholism has transformed my life and I would be willing to put up with almost any side-effects to achieve this abstinence which I have craved for sixteen years and for which the only treatment I have received in all these years has been Librium. I'd recommend it to everyone. No, make it compulsory!
Veronica F.
My experience is if you are looking at this you probably don;t have to take the test... I have 15 years sober and feel great. I love AA
Veronica Forrest. Dr. Bill, could you get in touch please. I am now two years' sober and I have more information for you. I don't know how to give you my email address privately. Perhaps you could enlighten me?

In His Own Words: An Interview with Maulana Karenga
Beliefnet talks to the founder of the holiday, Dr. Maulana Karenga, about its origins, its aim and its future.
Beliefnet: Why celebrate Kwanzaa in December among the religious holidays that are celebrated in the same month? Do you feel it might add to the misconception that Kwanzaa should be celebrated in place of Christmas or other December holidays?
Maulana Karenga: The first reason for the choice of date of Kwanzaa was for cultural authenticity. A central model for Kwanzaa is umkhosi or the Zulu first-fruit celebration which is seven days and is celebrated about this time. Other first-fruit celebrations were celebrated at the end of the old year and the beginning of the New Year such as Pert-em-Min of ancient Egypt. So Kwanzaa's model is older than Christmas and Hanukkah and thus does not borrow from them or seek to imitate them in the or manner.
People may celebrate either or all of the year-end holidays. And it makes little sense to attribute Kwanzaa's date of celebration to misconceptions about its replacing Christmas or Hanukkah when it is simply following a pre-established season for African first-fruit celebrations which precede both Hanukkah and Christmas. Moreover, Kwanzaa is a cultural holiday not a religious one. And it builds on African commonality, not on the religious, political and other choices we make which often separate us and cause us to focus on difference rather than similarity. In the final analysis, it all depends on personal choice; people choose holidays to celebrate, religions to practice and philosophies to follow. We do not show proper respect for diversity if we blame personal choice and change on one holiday or another.
Beliefnet: While many of us know that Kwanzaa is drawn from ancient African culture and tradition, how much of it comes from African religions? Lately it has been connected more closely to religion by many observers.
Maulana Karenga: Kwanzaa does not come from African religions, it comes from African culture. But no serious student of African culture - ancient or modern, continental or diasporan - can deny that African spirituality pervades African life.

Until recently, you'd have been forgiven for not having a clue who the heck Martin Solveig was! This French electronic DJ and producer grew up in Paris where he was classically trained in music and went on to DJ at some of the most famous Parisians nightclubs including L'Enfer, Le Queen and Les Bains Douches. It took just one record for Solveig to burst onto the international music scene, not only as a well-respected DJ but also as one of the most formidable producers and performers in the world, and today he has now sold over 2 million copies of 'Hello', released a further five albums and is globally recognised with having achieved platinum status in America, Italy, Germany, Austria, Canada and Australia.
Solveig's most recent album, SMASH, resulted in the genius creation of his own YouTube series which has completely redefined the world of music videos and has signalled the producer not only as a name in music but also a powerful creative force. This six-episode series begins in the legendary Roland Garros stadium, then moves to the incredible Stade De France, a rooftop pool in Singapore and various other locations in Japan, so if you find yourself in one of these places any time soon make sure you get a pic busting out some of his moves. View episode 1 here.
Aside from this revolutionary new music series, Solveig's most recent feat, surely every pop producer's dream, has been working with the legendary Madonna and producer her latest album M.D.N.A. The lead single from the album, 'Give Me All Your Luvin', is a Solveig produced masterpiece and is one of six cuts that has cemented this Frenchie's production career in which he fuses dance and pop in a way so unique to how everyone else is doing it.
This year has been a busy one for Solveig and has seen him perform at Coachella, as well as a range of other music festivals across the globe, but you'll be pleased to hear that there's still plenty more opportunities to catch him live! His full schedule can be viewed at; www.martinsolveig.com/agenda/events-list.php but in short, you can see him in Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, USA and Austria, so there really is no excuse for all you travellers!

Eight Is Enough: Multiple Lady Gaga Wax Figures Debut
Wax on, Lady Gaga. And on and on and on...
Eight separate wax figures were created as the new star attractions at Madame Tussauds branches in New York, Las Vegas and Hollywood as well as international branches in London, Shanghai, Berlin, Amsterdam and Hong Kong.
In typical Gaga style, the statues are all different, showing off multiple looks from the singer's eclectic and ever-changing wardrobe.
Edward Fuller, the general manager of Madame Tussauds, says, "The demand to include Lady Gaga has been overwhelming and we are more than happy to oblige. It's been quite a challenge to keep details of eight figure launches top secret, but the fans certainly seem to have enjoyed the intrigue."

Man, there sure are a lot of Gaga haters here. Obviously, none of you have ever heard her sing or you wouldn't be saying such negative things. I'm not sure what the point is with the 8 wax figures. Some of them have the same hair style and similar clothes. I would think Madame Tussaud's would be a bit more original and pick 8 outrageous Gaga looks. I'm disappointed they didn't do the meat dress.

Lady gaga is truely an inspiration to everyone around her...even the ones that see her and make fun of her. because they are too ashamed to be true to themselves. She has an amazing voice,, has a gorgeous body and face,, has the talent on stage to keep people watching (NO MATTER IF ITS SOMEONE THAT SAYS THEY HATE HER OR NOT...THEY WILL NOT CHANGE THE CHANNEL WHEN SHES ON)...AND she is truely an amazing person!!! she is genuine..and if u can honestly close ur eyes and listen to her and say that she doesnt have a good voice...u seriously dont even need to listen to music EVER... regardless of ur genre preference.

I don't know why people have to talk down to one of the greatest most talented women of our century. She has this beautifully ugly look that I think is just oozing sexuality. Let her do her thing.

The clacking you hear is the sound of dominoes falling throughout the major leagues. Wednesday, B.J. Upton agreed to a five-year, $75.25 million contract with the Atlanta Braves. Thursday, the Washington Nationals acquired center fielder Denard Span from the Minnesota Twins for pitching prospect Alex Meyer. A quick assessment of what the moves mean for other players in the Hot Stove League: ● The Philadelphia Phillies: Upgrades by National League East rivals on back-to-back days have fueled speculation that Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. will want to make a splashy offseason move. Free agent Josh Hamilton, whose market is unclear, would match that description. ● Michael Bourn: From a sheer standpoint of available options, this hasn't been a good week for Bourn and his agent, Scott Boras. The Braves and Nationals were in the market for center field/leadoff types. No more. Will Boras be able to find a team willing to pay Upton-type money to someone with a career OPS of .704? ● Adam La

A Farmers Claim A farmer who's been involved in a terrible road accident with a large truck ended up in court fighting for a big compensation claim.
"I understand you're claiming damages for the injuries you're supposed to have suffered?" Stated the counsel for the insurance company.
"Yes, that's right," replied the farmer, nodding his head.
"You claim you were injured in the accident, yet I have a signed police statement that says that when the attending police officer asked you how you were feeling, you replied, 'I've never felt better inn my life.' Is that the case?"
"Yeah, but…" stammered the farmer.
"A simple yes or not will suffice," counsel interrupted quickly.
"Yes," Replied the farmer.
Then it was the turn of the farmer's counsel to ask him questions. "Please tell the court the exact circumstance of events following the accident when you made your statement of health," his lawyer said.
"Certainly," replied the farmer. "After the accident my horse was thrashing around with a broken leg and my poor old dog was howling in pain. This cop comes along, takes one look at my horse and shoots him dead. "Then he goes over to my dog, looks at him and shoots him dead too. Then he come straight over to me and asked me how I was feeling. "Now, mate, what the heck would you have said to him?"

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, "If only I could see the world, I would marry you." One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying, "Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine." This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations. Remember: life is a gift. Today before you say an unkind word think of someone who can't speak. Before you complain about the taste of your food think of someone who has nothing to eat. Before you complain about your husband or your wife think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion. Before whining about the distance you drive think of someone who walks the same distance. And when you are tired and complain about your job think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down put a smile on your face and think: You're alive and still around!

Have a great week!
Thanks for the beer! Its CRAZY around here. Getting on here is my down time. We are still waiting to see what happens. From the sounds of it we are probably going to be staying in Colorado, but if we do we are looking at being on the western slope. Which is fine with me. I have decided that if hes stationed in Rifle or Grand Junction then we are going to find a house where ever he is and stay put for a while. Which will greatly help out. So we will see. Thanks again for everything! You have been a great friend and sounding board! :)

Several years ago, I called a radio station and made a comment how we really needed to beef up our borders, that was before 9-11!! My children"s father was a crew chief for the F-14 16's. So I know how important it is for our borders etc.

Harvest for All
Farm Bureau's young farmers and ranchers have worked side by side with Feeding America for the past 10 years to help provide food to those in need around our country through the Harvest for All campaign. More than 50 million Americans – that's 1 in 6 – including nearly 17 million children, are food insecure, meaning they live at risk of hunger.
Throughout the year, farmers and ranchers across the nation donate food, funds and people power to create a hunger-free America. And whether the contribution is a bushel, a dollar, or an hour, Farm Bureau and Feeding America will be working together to finish an important job: making sure every American can enjoy the bounty produced on our farms and ranches.
In 2014, YF&R programs across the country donated a total of 42 million pounds of food, spent 14,000 hours volunteering, and donated 1.2 million dollars to their local food banks.
Partnership Background
An initial relationship was forged between the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) and Feeding America (then known as America's Second Harvest) when AFBF offered its support to Feeding America's first Hunger Awareness Day on June 5, 2002. Discussions following the event evolved to identify that a separate partnership between Feeding America and AFBF, specifically the Young Farmers & Ranchers (YF&R) Program, would be mutually beneficial.
As the first step in developing this partnership, members of AFBF's YF&R Committee participated in a service project with Feeding America in November 2002. The event was a success, leading to the announcement of Farm Bureau's collaboration with Feeding America and the Harvest for All campaign on June 5, 2003, Feeding America's second annual National Hunger Awareness Day.
The Harvest for All campaign includes activities organized by state and county Farm Bureaus in connection with local Feeding America affiliates across the country. Through the campaign's 10-year history, YF&R programs across the country have donated their food, money and their time to provide more than 83 million meal equivalents to hungry Americans.
Most Innovative
The "Most Innovative" award recognizes states whose unique Harvest for All activities encourage participation and are programs that can be easily replicated in other states. The 2014 "Most Innovative" states were:
- Georgia – The Georgia Farm Bureau Young Leaders Committee, in cooperation with the Jekyll Island Golf Club, set up a golf tournament benefiting Harvest for All and the Georgia Food Bank Association. The committee members set a date for the golf tournament and promoted it to young farmers and sponsors. Advertising was done through County Farm Bureaus (tournament hosts), which raised awareness. An auction held after the event gave members another opportunity to talk about Harvest for All.
- North Carolina – The North Carolina Farm Bureau Young Farmer Committee partnered with field reps, state YF&R members, collegiate YF&R's and county Farm Bureaus, making this project a true statewide effort through "Take a Shot at Hunger!". The year-long project was a partnership with the NC Department of Agriculture and Food Lion grocery stores. At the NC State Fair, one day was set aside where fair goers could bring 10 canned food items and enter the fair for free. Young Farmer volunteers collected canned foods and loaded trucks headed to the food banks.
- Arizona – The Arizona Farm Bureau Young Farmer Committee worked with the community to organize a "fill that truck" event. Members worked with a local car dealership to increase awareness about the needs of the local food bank. The dealership accepted food donations with the goal of filling up a truck.

1. Birmingham Airport utilises social media to drive customer engagement
""CrowdControlHQ has totally transformed our approach to social media customer engagement. It is a powerful business tool that demonstrably manages our social media interactions from end-to-end, putting us in complete control of today's highly dynamic digital world. In a nutshell, the technology helps protect our brand and produce powerful marketing campaigns that inspire confidence in our commercial partners, drive revenues and ultimately enhances the overall customer experience."
David Lavender, Press & Social Media Officer
2. Serco Leisure maximises social media marketing using CrowdControlHQ
"CrowdControlHQ beat the competition hands down. The company offered innovative technology wrapped up in one, easy to use package, add to this the superior security features and industry know-how and we had found a winning formula."
Chris Puszczynski-Phelps, Digital Media Manager
3. Experian where complexity in social media can't undermine compliance
"The platform gives me control over user permissions across the entire business, as well as the ability to block, automatically delete or flag posts that fall outside what I consider acceptable parameters. This enables us to catch potentially damaging posts or tweets before they go live. The legal team likes this too."
Caroline Bromley, Experian company security specialist
4. Gloucestershire County Council how the council used social media to learn more about their local community.
"We are gleaning a better understanding of who is engaged with us and who we might be able to use to help us share important information and messages more effectively among communities, as well as to potentially take part in focus groups and consultations in future. In the longer term, we expect it to help us gain a more accurate insight into our customers' needs, which will help us to deliver improvements to the services we provide for customers."
Emma Smith, Senior communications officer
5. West Midlands Police when the scale of public communication with the police needs to be managed effectively.
"We started out with a handful of accounts and users, all within the comms team. As the number of accounts and amount of activity increased, keeping track of who was engaging and in what way became a priority. As the channel was becoming more popular, we knew we would have to increase the number of users with access to our accounts. As we work in shifts, we had to find a solution to stop the sharing of usernames and passwords."
Stuart Davis, Digital services manager
Reporting in Social Media – how to choose the right measurement metrics for the job.
The challenge with evaluating and reporting on social media is that often the Marketing Manager is unsure of the critical evaluation metrics to report on. Often social media gets thrown into the category of 'cause and effect' marketing. An expectation is set by well meaning and often misguided senior managers that social media is all about achieving a direct outcome towards customer acquisition. Often, it will be evaluated alongside SEO, banner ads and e-mail response in terms of direct action impact.
Of course social media can and does support the acquisition process, facilitating key messaging at various 'touch points' along the customer decision making journey.
But we mustn't forget that social media also sits alongside the 'softer' brand building communications activities – such as sponsorship and PR, activities traditionally known to cause marketing teams a big headache in evaluating impact! Yet there appears to be far less scrutiny in evaluating these elements in contrast with the new kid on the block – social media.
Why? Perhaps it is the fact that the frequency and intensity of social media is controlled by the customer? Or that as a communications channel it can 'talk back at us' that puts living fear of god into us when it comes to reporting?
The truth is that social media achieves many outcomes for an organisation. Yes, it can be responsible for some direct action – hits to websites, requests for sales information, demos etc., but to only use it in this way is very short sighted!
Increasingly, organisations are realising the importance of social media in achieving retention; adding greater value for their customers. Providing customers with access to a dynamic customer service environment.
There are cost savings too – businesses are reporting that addressing a customer query in a social environment allows for the answer to spread to many who shared the problem. If twenty people have that same query and would have otherwise telephoned a reception desk or a help centre to ask the question, then social media has made a valuable contribution to resource saving.
So in reporting, the first steps are clearly identifying what elements you are actually measuring and broadening the net wider than simply sales.
Some of the key measures we see in the boardroom include:
As the UK's leading social media management software provider, CrowdControlHQ provide automated reports from a dashboard at the click of a button, enabling marketing teams to see their performance across an array of social platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and Google+
The system is completely customisable to cater for the variety of outcomes required from social media today. CrowdControlHQ includes unlimited reporting as part of a monthly licence fee; useful if you have a big campaign underway where daily analytics are required.

Originally written on Patriots Life | Last updated 11/28/12
CSNNE:The sprained ankle Patriots rookie defensive end Chandler Jones is dealing with will likely cause him to miss Sunday's game at Miami. The injury is a mild high ankle sprain, not as severe as the one suffered by Aaron Hernandez in Week 2 against the Cardinals. Hernandez missed four games before returning for Weeks 6 and 7, then missed another three games before playing against the Jets last week.Nooooooo!Well this sucks. Chandler Jones = the Patriots pass rush.Sure, the defense has had two of it's best games largely without him in the lineup, but let's not get carried away here. The Patriots are great at getting turnovers, it's by design, but it's not going to happen every week. The Chandler Jones loss is HUGE, and we can only hope he's able to get healthy in time for games against the Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers.Sure, Jones is tied for as many sacks as Rob Ninkovich, but sacks are a misleading stat. Chandler Jones has been the only player to provide a consistent pas...

Can Alaska voters be bought? I wouldn't have thought so as we are a pretty independent state. That's why I'm insulted and a little angry that the Koch brothers apparently think our votes are for sale. A recent spate of really tacky political ads on Alaska television is being paid for by the American Energy Alliance, which is a front for Koch Industries of Wichita, Kan.
The billionaire brothers seem to have decided that, having the Supreme Court already in their pocket, they're ready to take over state elections to promote their personal and corporate agenda.
It might be that a lot of Alaskans agree with that agenda and that's fine. But I'd like to think we will vote on the candidates and the issues, and not because we're being bought and paid for by a big corporation. I urge voters to take notice of who pays for TV ads. Do your own research. Make your own decision. Keep big money out of honest Alaska elections.

Menus and McMahon: Paul Martin's American Grill
You may have noticed a new restaurant has popped up where J. Alexander's and the Borgata used to be, called Paul Martin's American Grill. However, Paul Martin Fleming is not new to the Valley. You may know his other restaurants: Z Tejas, Ruth's Chris Steak House, P.F. Changs, and maybe the most obvious, Flemings.
Paul Martin's has some great American cuisine as well as some great daily deals that is hard to pass up, so stop by, have some food and welcome Paul back to the Valley!

If your dog is acting OK otherwise, go ahead and feed her at her regular time. As long as she can swallow her food and not gag any of it back up, you should be OK doing so.
A dry, hacking cough can be seen in just about any age dog. Kennel cough and allergies can be the common culprits. However, in a dog that is 12 years old, there would also be other considerations as well. See how she does today and if it continues into tomorrow, you should have her checked over. If this doesn't recur, then just keep in in mind should it happen again down the road.

Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, Utter moved with his parents to Westerly, Rhode Island in 1861. He attended the public schools of Westerly and Alfred (New York) Academy. He graduated from Amherst College, Massachusetts in 1877. He was engaged as a printer and publisher of the Westerly Sun before serving as a personal aide on the staff of Governor Augustus O. Bourn 1883–1885. He served as member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives 1885–1889, serving as speaker the last year.
Utter served in the Rhode Island Senate (1889–1891), as Secretary of State of Rhode Island (1891–1894), and as Lieutenant Governor (1904) and Governor (1905–06) of Rhode Island.
Utter was elected as a Republican to the Sixty-second Congress and served from March 4, 1911, until his death from liver cancer in Westerly, Rhode Island, November 3, 1912. At the time of his death, Utter was running for re-election to Congress.[1]
He was interred in Riverbend Cemetery, Westerly, Rhode Island.

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

These patented devices revolutionized pulley use when they were introduced in 2005. The Omni-Block combines a pulley with a swivel and offers tremendous advantages. It can replace a conventional pulley, carabiner & swivel and is lighter, less expensive and saves valuable vertical space. It also allows installing/removing the rope while the pulley is still anchored.While the standard version serves the needs of most users, the Omni is also available with some specialized options. Inside that block of aluminum is an Omni just waiting to get out. Like Michelangelo, all Rock Exotica has to do is remove the unwanted material. Unlike Michelangelo, Rock Exotica has a 4 axis, 20,000 RPM horizontal machining center with RISC processor to do it.

iamhubby1 added a post in a topic Funchess interview in The Detroit News
I was gonna be "That Guy", and point out the fact that they don't have bunk beds at the dorms. The size on our team may ever make it prohibitive. You know. Insureance, the size of the damm thing, and add in the cost. But then I realized, that could take some of the luster off your actually quite charming joke. So, out of respect, I will allow you your Brady Family existence. I do however, find the thought of a 6'5 250ish lb beast on the top bunk....oddly titillating.
As I was typing that out, I tangented off into how a Stevie song was playing in my right ear. I am telling you, it could of stood to be a little louder, the quality was that good. Then, it timed out beautifully. Just as I was about ready to post the post, the song finished. I was just wondering, you know, cuz, well, you seem to be a worldly type of guy. Have you ever heard of such a thing? I have been listening to Stevie playing with Albert Collins in what sounds to me like a intimate venue, cuz I can actually here some of the banter being exchanged with the audience. So far I have loved what I hear. I guess I have good taste in music. Albert singing a song about Lennon. Wonder if I'll be able to find this. Hellz, I'm on Stevie's FB, that's as good a place to start as any.
The ONLY thing that changes when game planning a player is the amount of time you devote to the task. Every player gets game planned for. No team wants to lose a game and have to answer questions about how you game planned for such and such, cuz he torched you? You spend more time on stars than you do back-ups, but you put in some amount for everyone.
Oh, and the word you are searching for is....wait for it....wait for it....politician.
iamhubby1 added a blog entry in Hubby's MusingsSo this blog thing? It ain't so hard is it?So here I am. Comfy, and ready to fly, as I sit down to start my first Huddle blog. Even though there is a lot riding on this. I can only control…well, in my world, everything. But that's neither here, nor there, for the time being anywho. You know you want to impress right out of the box. Come on "Like Gang Busters" as some long forgotten aunt, or was it that stupid husband of hers? Show everyone you got what it takes. Take the world by storm. If, you know what I mean.
Speaking of the idiot brother in law. Who forever from this point forward shall now, and for always, be referred to as the "ibit". (Idiot Brother Inlaw Twit.) Smartest guy in the room, and, also the dumbest. My sister gave him a 4pack of MSU season tickets in an old razor box for Xmas one year. She had the brilliant idea to put his razor inside. You know, to balance out the weight and all.
Anyway, the ibit unwraps the present, sees that it's a razor, raises it up to show everyone, then sets it aside with the rest of his presents. My sister, who is filming this, wants him to get to the tickets. So she asks him to open it up so she can see the razor. He says, "Aw, it's just a razor hun".
She tried 3 different pleas to get him to open that damm box. But nooooooo, the stupid twit couldn't be bothered. I watched my sister go whisper to the mom, who soon got up and as she was walking by mentions to the ibit. "I can't remember the last time I've even seen one of those things. Mind showing me the razor?" "Sure" he says, as he jumps up to please the Queen.
He opens up and shakes out the razor, these 4 tickets kinda fall out into his hand. He looks at the razor, looks at the tickets, and then looks at his wife. He is standing there, looking like a Prom Queen in the lobby of a Mensa convention, looking at that razor. Then, as he is once again looking at the tickets, a smile starts to chip into that granite of perpetual duh.
He looks at his wife and says, "I am pretty sure…that's my razor. Is this a trick gift?".
So anyway. I sit down, look at the ol' lap top, and, nothing. My mind's a blank. Even though I had no real topic for which to begin my journey into blogdom. I was just betting my brain could come up with something to get the ball rolling. But nope. Even with all those neurons running with the protons, mixing with all that accrued knowledge rattling around in my head. Nothing. Nada.
So…all those nuggets, tidbits, and snippets I've got. All those endless hours in front of the tv. Extensive interaction with all sorts of nefarious characters. Input from sources I don't even remember. And my brain can't come up with 1 good idea to start a blog? No two tidbits running into each other and before they know it two more, and then three, and four. And yet can't get enough mass to warrant a topic. How many tidbits does it take to warrant a "This is worth a look"? Give me a break here. I want to look good in front of the guys/girls, so please, give me something.
So I guess Dear Readers, I must pass on this golden opportunity in front of me. For a blogger without an idea is just a…well, you get the idea. A bad topic starter. That is what I have been reduced to. Nothing more than a Panther I start a lot of threads wannabe. Oh the humanity.
Pet Peeve Corner.
This is what I'm going to call my random thoughts section. A thought struck me, and I wanted to get it down. By the time I actually did get around to it? …Nothing, gone. But hey, at least now, when I do have one of those tangent thoughts, I know where to put it.
I can be off on a rant, I mean, c'mon man, we all love to vent, and when a tangent pops up. I now have the ability to expand abilities. I cannot only ride my tangent out. But, if I arrive home safely from wherever it took me. I simply copy and paste it later. Thus allowing me to return to my rant in record time. Brilliant.
I'm going to leave you with a game I hope to play. It's called. "College, or Hillbilly". I'll give you a quote, or a situation. And you tell me if it was said/done by a College Grad, or a Hillbilly.
So, with future ado. The inaugural "College or Hillbilly" question is: "Boy, once that air-conditioning kicks in, it sure can feel good."
So good folks of HuddleLand. Who among you said College? Yeah!!!! Or Hillbilly? Huuuuh?
If you made it this far, thank you. If you cheated and jumped to the end, I'll know. Leave a comment. Only if you really feel the need. No pressure. Or, you know, um, don't comment. If that is what you feel is best.
Vote here. @yalikeihaveawebsitec'onman.aol.com

iamhubby1 added a comment on a blog entry My recent interest in "travel hacking"I saved 55 cents today at Food Lion. Until I read this, I was feeling pretty good about myself. So you've got that going for you.
I am pretty sure that if you get the info out there, there will be plenty of folks who will learn from you. So you've got that going for you too.
My dad always said. If you use your credit card like a tool, it can be a money maker. This, takes that, to a whole new level.
My sister travels a lot. She is always on her phone checking on some odd thing or another. She says, all you have to do is ask. They will have stuff ready and waiting for you.
Get to work. You've got a lot ahead of you.
iamhubby1 added a comment on a blog entry Questions at OTA media dayClever, informative, (Didn't know there were 2 of them.) funny, ("Both our readers." lol this is just but 1 example.) and best of all, readable.
All in all, I enjoyed the read. Nice contribution
This is the Huddlez definition of tweener type stuff. Good enough to get to read, but would get eatin' alive in the Panther sub-forum. Which means it probably wouldn't get posted, and I never would have gotten a chance to read it. It needed a place for not just him, but where all his brethren could feel welcomed.

Ghosts of War: The story behind the story
The story behind the story
Warning: Mission spoilers ahead.
My first STO Foundry mission series went through a lot of twists, turns, course corrections and major revisions over the course of its development and even afterward. It will undoubtedly have more to go through in the future as inspiration strikes - or as the mission settings get extreme makeovers from Cryptic. Here I will take you through some of those turns, to give an idea of how it arrived in the state it's in now.
Whereas Ghosts of War is about the search for a stolen thalaron weapon, my original concept for the series revolved around a different type of weapon of mass destruction - a red-matter detonator, as seen in JJ-verse Star Trek. The first version of my story had a Gorn raiding party stealing the detonator from a Federation outpost, with the player ordered to track them down. The detonator had no red matter in it when it was stolen, rendering it useless for the time being, but also suggesting a wider conspiracy involving someone with access to red matter. That's as far as I got with that version of the story, in part because I soon realized I could not adequately re-create black hole implosions in a Foundry mission with the available tools and assets. So, I started over with a different type of weapon whose use, or at least the aftermath of which, I could re-create: a thalaron weapon.
Given the origins of thalaron weaponry, I shifted the first stages of the story arc from the Gorn to the Romulans, with the premise that the Tal Shiar had developed this weapon as a Death Star-esque deterrent against rebellion by the Romulan Star Empire's subject worlds. (This, mind you, was long before the Romulan Republic came along in the Legacy of Romulus expansion; given how well this fit together with my premise, it became the genesis for my Valley of the Shadow prequel trilogy.) Some rogue figure in the Star Empire then manages to steal the weapon and use it on a Class M world - one that's not inhabited, but with such an abundance of life that its complete destruction is an atrocity in itself. (To up the ante some more, I added a Federation exobiology team studying the planet as sentient victims.) It turns out that the Romulan renegade is just a bit player in a wider conspiracy that spans the Federation's entire sphere of influence and beyond - but just who is behind it, and what are their intentions?
Actually, this iteration of the story arc even went beyond Alpha and Beta Quadrants - the big reveal of the main conspirators would have occurred on a mission involving the Dominion in Gamma Quadrant, in the fourth of what was planned to be eight missions - the entire initial allotment of mission slots for Foundry authors. The original Part III would have followed the conspiracy into the Klingon Empire, while Part V would have dealt with the True Way connection. However, it soon occurred to me that the Part III and IV storylines were just variations on what I had written for Part II. Since I didn't want to spend three whole missions chasing the same bad guys, and was eager to get on developing with the rest of the series, I decided to drop the Dominion storyline altogether and condense the Klingon and True Way storylines (as well as loose ends from the Romulan storyline of Parts I-II) into a single mission - what is now Part III - thus reducing the series from eight to six installments.
Parts IV-VI of the completed series are essentially unchanged from Parts VI-VIII of the earlier version. The only significant difference is that in the earlier version, the thalaron weapon turned out to be a red herring; the real threat was to come from a metagenic weapon (a real one this time) developed by the True Way. This was one reason why I chose Celtris III as the setting for what are now Parts IV and VI, to make the touchstoning with TNG's "Chain of Command" 2-parter a bit more obvious. However, at the same time I decided to condense the series, I also sought to tighten up the remaining storyline, so I lost the metagenic weapon and just used the thalaron weapon as the threat, which not only makes the overarching storyline easier for players to stick with, but also ties the plot of the second half of the series back to the plot of the first half. The series title is a classic double entendre - it refers to both the series' primary antagonists and to its echoes of the Dominion War, particularly in the later missions.
In the STO forums, my handle is paxfederatica.

Originally written on Red's Army | Last updated 1/17/13
The fellas did a couple of shows over the past couple of weeks… spanning back to the Kevin Garnett vs. Melo Cheerios thing… Kurt and Dave also spent some time discussing how they would feel about Paul Pierce being traded. They also got into their usual predictions and such, as well as bringing back the Green Kool-Aid King for a week. This will be a great time to mention that this year's annual Red's Army party will also be a celebration of Gang Green TV's 200th episode. It will be held on March 10th at "The Place" (same venue as last year). So save the date. We'll have much more on the party coming up in the next few weeks.

I installed the WOW Slider app for Windows and created a slider file.
I have uploaded the .zip file as a plugin via FTP.
I activated the Plugin in WP.
The WOW Slider menu appears, but there are "No sliders found".
If I try to upload a second time, I get the "Wrong slider" message.
I can not upload a second time unless I deactivate and delete the Plugin.
Any help would be appreciated.
