The five-game winless streak is over for the St. Louis Rams, and not just because of rookie Janoris Jenkins' historic day. Steven Jackson and rookie Chris Givens had big days on offense, too. The bruising Jackson had a season-best 139 yards rushing, putting him in easy range of an eighth straight 1,000-yard season, which would extend his franchise record. Givens, a fourth-round draft pick, had five catches for 115 yards and a touchdown for his first career 100-yard game. The Rams (4-6-1) had a season-best 173 yards rushing with a 5.1-yard average behind a line that had all of starters in place for the first time since the opener. Jenkins' ball-hawking skills helped the Rams end a five-game turnover drought with an exclamation point, becoming the first rookie since 1960 and first St. Louis player to have two interceptions for touchdowns in one game. ---- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

"Dogma is slow to change, and one of the dogmas of neuroscience is that astrocytes are support cells that don't do much themselves," said Oberheim. "The view is slow to change, but scientists are coming around. Astrocytes are now acknowledged as active participants in brain function and sensory processing."
The brain's two signaling systems - one composed of neurons, and one of astrocytes - complement each other, Nedergaard said. Neurons send signals extremely quickly over long distances - the hand touches a hot stove, for instance, and the brain detects the danger and moves the hand away, instantly. Astrocytes, in contrast, send slower signals whose function is still being worked out by scientists.
"The brain contains two communication networks using different languages," said Nedergaard, director of the Division of Glial Disease and Therapeutics of the Center for Translational Neuromedicine. "You have a highly sophisticated electrical network embodied in the neurons, which send signals instantaneously. And then you have a much slower network composed of astrocytes whose signals are 10,000 times slower but which might be able to process the information in a more sophisticated manner and retrieve memories.
"There is no other tissue in the body that mixes up two different types of cells so completely as how astrocytes and neurons are interspersed throughout the brain," Nedergaard added. "Both comprise extensive signaling networks. Where those networks interface and how they interact makes the brai

When people have asked of a place to eat in Santa Fe, I find myself referring them to Maria's. Is the food good? Yes. But the margaritas they are the best. When you read this book, you'll know why. -Robert Redford, from the forewordOn the rocks or frozen, with lemon or lime, with salt or without, nothing conjures up the festive spirit of Mexico and the Southwest quite like a margarita-especially one made with the best tequila.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By James Swift, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 28 August 2014 11:40AM
The pan-African campaign aired last night on MTV Base Africa during Guinness' four-hour takeover of the channel.
The spot was created by Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO, in conjunction with BBDO offices in Africa and is the agency's first work for the brand since winning the business in October.
The ad, which was directed by Sam Brown through Rogue Films, features clips of black performers, as Kanye West's 'Black Skinhead' plays in the background. Music artists including Fuse ODG and Phyno will continue the campaign with messages on social media, such as Twitter.
I luurrvve the new #madeofblack ad from #guinness during MTV Base just now. Black is Bold. Black is an attitude. #sp
— Fuse ODG (@FuseODG) August 27, 2014
Creative director on the account at AMV BBDO was Mike Schalit, while Mike Sutherland wrote the campaign and Antony Nelson art directed it.
Mark Sandys, the global brand director at Guinness, said: "Guinness is an iconic brand, famous for its extraordinary and inimitable marketing, and #madeofblack is no different. This campaign is a celebration of an attitude that epitomises individuals who aren't afraid to truly express themselves.
"Through #madeofblack we will provide a stage for those who are an inspiration to others, as they carve their own path with confidence, flair and boldness."

Center to draw more researchers to Port St. Lucie, promote discoveries
TRADITION — Business leaders with the Tradition Center for Innovation announced Wednesday the formation of Florida Innovation Partners, an organization that will direct the center's growth and promote the commercialization of new discoveries made within the park.
Andy Favata, Florida Innovation Partners' director and vice president of the Mann Research Center, said the new organization would "promote and grow the Tradition Center for Innovation through an active, strategic marketing and awareness program."
Florida Innovation Partners is directed by a council of leaders from anchor institutions with the Tradition Center for Innovation, including Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, Oregon Health and Science University's Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute in Florida, Martin Memorial Health Systems and Mann Research Center.
Together, those organizations will funnel financial resources into Florida Innovation Partners to drive the center's growth.
The first initiative of the Florida Innovation Partners is an economic development campaign that's under way to attract additional high-caliber institutions to the center.
"We are seeking institutions with research programs synergistic with our scientific community," said Richard Houghten, founder and president of Torrey Pines, and a member of Florida Innovation Partners leadership council. "The expertise and research programs of TCI's current tenants complement each other well. New institutions will not only be able to access our resources, such as direct access to clinical trials and samples, but also strengthen those resources as well."
Torrey Pines conducts research to advance the understanding of human disease and improve human health. Torrey Pines' headquarters is in the Tradition Center for Innovation, a 150-acre research park in Port St. Lucie's Tradition, an 8,300-acre community.
Drug company MannKind Corp. recently sent top scientific management to meet with members of the Tradition Center for Innovation and other Treasure Coast biotech institutions.
"Thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of our scientific community and the strong support of the local government, the Tradition Center for Innovation has rapidly developed into a research community with expertise, resources, and funding necessary for attracting top-notch institutions," said Favata. "FIP's campaign to attract more institutions will multiply the return on Floridians' investment in this research park and contribute to a sustainable, high-paying, knowledge-based economy."
As the Tradition Center for Innovation expands, Florida Innovation Partners said it will shift more resources to support spin-offs and commercialization of discoveries.

- Faster Than its Competition and to Strengthen Expansion Plans
Misys plc (LSE: MSY), the global application software and services company, today announces that Piraeus Bank, the Athens-based universal bank, has licensed Misys BankFusion Equation as the technology platform to underpin its expansion plans.
Misys Equation has added value to Piraeus Bank's operations for many years across its domestic and selected international branches, using Equation to run the bank's operations across 343 branches in Greece and 220 branches in three of its international subsidiaries. Piraeus went live with Equation 3.9 in its Albanian operations in 2008 and Romanian business in 2009. The implementations were an important part of the bank's growth strategy and has helped Piraeus to continue to achieve its business ambitions, as it continues to expand in South-Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean markets. Its future growth objectives in its domestic and international operations will be accelerated by BankFusion Equation.
In this latest release of the solution, Equation has been re-architected into an SOA environment using Misys' revolutionary BankFusion(TM) platform.

Don't miss these tips from my Reader's Digest editor! She taught me more about writing articles and query letters than any other magazine editor I've worked with.
Before the tips, a quip:
"Newspaper editors are men who separate the wheat from the chaff, and print the chaff." ~ Adlai Stevenson.
Believe me: not all editors are this muddled. The ones I've worked with are dedicated to printing the best possible articles, books, and short stories. My favorite editor is from Reader's Digest because she reviews my articles over the phone, which improved my writing immensely.
For a more in-depth look at freelance writing full-time, read Writer's Digest Handbook of Magazine Article Writing by the editors of Writer's Digest. It's a bestselling book on freelancing.
And, check out these ten tips for writing better magazine articles and query letters…
A Reader's Digest Editor's 10 Writing Tips
Eliminate comments from the "peanut gallery"
When I'm writing for Reader's Digest, I've learned not to provide a running commentary. "Just the facts, ma'am," is a good motto. Everything in your pitch and the article must be information that sources or experts actually offered (unless the article is about the writer, or the writer is an expert in the topic).
Provide accurate experts or sources
I include interview dates, names, email addresses, phone numbers and website urls in the footnotes that source my experts. This writing tip isn't the same for other editors; one of the other magazines I write for recently told me not to bother including footnotes with sources! Sure, it's a time-saver not to have to include my experts' details, but those accurately sourced footnotes are a great way for me to do quick research later, for different articles.
Only quote from primary sources
Whether I'm pitching an article idea or writing the actual article, I never quote from secondary sources, such as websites or magazine articles, when I write for Reader's Digest. If I don't talk to the experts or sources directly, I can only quote from press releases, journal articles, or recognized sources such as the Canadian government or the FDA.
Be specific in your query letter and magazine article
Don't just say "a man from Canada quit his job to pursue his dreams." What's his name? What city does he live in? How old is he? What job did he quit? What dream is he pursuing? What made him quit his job? Is he a short or a tall man? Good writing is concrete, specific writing.
Guard your sources' privacy
Be honest with your editor about the real names of people in your anecdotes, but indicate whether their names should be protected for privacy's sake. (Also – don't make up anecdotes or experts. This should go without saying, but I know a couple of freelance writers who do this).
Always respond to editors' emails
Once, my Reader's Digest editor sent me an assignment and I was like all "yay!" but didn't tell her that. So, she had to follow up with me to ask if I was interested in writing the article, or if she should assign it to someone else. Fellow scribes, always acknowledge emails — it's one of the best tips for working with editors.
Make sure your introduction or lead ties the whole article together
This tip reinforces the idea that the opening is a great place to put the best parts of the article and the query you're pitching (sometimes known as the "takeaway"). For instance, if one of my takeaways is that Reader's Digest editors love article query letters that are printed on lime green paper that smells like freshly cut grass , then I need to include that tidbit in my introduction.
Be open to editing, revising, rewriting your work
Count yourself lucky if your editor asks you to make changes to your article, and explains why those changes are beneficial. This is one of the best ways to recognize your own poorly written work (and all writers — no matter how successful — have weak spots). The best way to improve your articles and pitches is to edit, revise, and rewrite again and again and again. If you have a professional eagle eye (aka a magazine editor) guiding you, be grateful!
Don't use proper names as verbs
A short, sweet way to write better article pitches: "We don't Xerox, we photocopy," she said. This may be a common writing mistake; I've read this writing advice in other freelance writing resources.
Tailor your pitches or query letters
This Reader's Digest editor was one of the first to tell me what she prefers writers' pitches to look like. This is one of the most valuable questions I can ask after I submit my first assignment: "How do you like your pitches? Long? Short? Detailed? Summarized? Do I have to talk to the experts first, or can I just name them?" Successful writers find ways to tailor their pitches to editors and writing markets.
For more tips on writing better article pitches, read How to Find Article Ideas That Editors Will Pay to Publish.

What? She simply put the call through, hardly world-wide public humiliation. Until she committed suicide, no one even knew her name.
Sadly she was a troubled lady long before this prank call happened, and she had tried to end her life previously. Had she not succeeded this time, I have no doubt she would have tried again in the future - triggered by another even she couldn't cope with.
The actual phone call wasn't malicious, it was quite obviously a prank and I doubt the DJ's had even considered that they'd get put through as far as they did, let alone considered what they would say and do, if they did. Therefore, they didn't have a plan when they did get put through - hence why it went on for as long as it did. In hindsight, yes they should have just put down the phone and not spoken to the staff at that point, but in the heat of the moment, they just didn't think.
I really don't think they should be blamed, and the lady DJ doesn't derserve to lose her livelihood over this - she was only the public part of the production team, plenty of others have managed to avoid blame when they are just as culpable.

Back to the basics. Do what makes you happy.
I am simple person who has lived a great life thus far but always looking to improve it. I have great plans for the year and the rest of my existence and I would like to meet an extraordinary person to share the experience with. As a person, I have been complimented on being very knowledgeable. I do like to watch or read educational materials but I also exercise the rest of me. I like to work out for strength and conditioning and also play on a couple of softball teams. I love getting out several times a week. Whether it's going to a small show with my artist friends or going to a pub for really good music or sporting events I will do just about anything with good company. I simply like to have a lot of fun and and usually do have it regardless of venue. I dont have a specific type of person I would like to meet. If we click and are attracted to each other it can be taken from there. If you you want to know more about me send me a message. A simple hello is good enough to get things started. If I contact you and you are wondering whether to write back or not, you have absolutely nothing to lose. Take care and good luck.

One of Brian's Favorite Quotes
A starling on a nest. A sign in the crate saysNesting bird. Please do not disturb. If the crate is not closed in a few seconds, the bird will chirp angrily and gesture at the sign with a wing. The crate is otherwise empty."
Forum Funds II and Acuitas Investments, LLC; Notice of Application
Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief will be subject to the following conditions:
1. Before a Subadvised Series may rely on the order requested in the Application, the operation of the Subadvised Series in the manner described in this Application, including the hiring of Wholly-Owned Sub-Advisers, will be, or has been, approved by a majority of the Subadvised Series' outstanding voting securities as defined in the Act, or, in the case of a new Subadvised Series whose public shareholders purchase shares on the basis of a prospectus containing the disclosure contemplated by condition 2 below, by the sole initial shareholder before offering the Subadvised Series' shares to
2. The prospectus for each Subadvised Series will disclose the existence, substance, and effect of any order granted pursuant to this Application. Each Subadvised Series will hold itself out to the public as employing the multi-manager structure described in this Application. Each prospectus will prominently disclose that the Adviser has the ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board, to oversee the Sub-Advisers and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement.
3. The Adviser will provide general management services to a Subadvised Series, including overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the Subadvised Series' assets. Subject to review and approval of the Board, the Adviser will (a) set a Subadvised Series' overall investment strategies, (b) evaluate, select, and recommend Sub-Advisers to manage all or a portion of a Subadvised Series' assets, and (c) implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure that Sub-Advisers comply with a Subadvised Series' investment objective, policies and restrictions. Subject to review by the Board, the Adviser will (a) when appropriate, allocate and reallocate a Subadvised Series' assets among multiple Sub-Advisers; and (b) monitor and evaluate the performance of Sub-Advisers.
4. A Subadvised Series will not make any Ineligible Sub-Adviser Changes without such agreement, including the compensation to be paid thereunder, being approved by the shareholders of the applicable Subadvised Series.
5. Subadvised Series will inform shareholders of the hiring of a new Sub-Adviser within 90 days after the hiring of the new Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Modified Notice and Access Procedures.
6. At all times, at least a majority of the Board will be Independent Board Members, and the selection and nomination of new or additional Independent Board Members will be placed within the discretion of the then-existing Independent Board Members.
7. Independent Legal Counsel, as defined in rule 0-1(a)(6) under the Act, will be engaged to represent the Independent Board Members. The selection of such counsel will be within the discretion of the then-existing Independent Board Members.
8. The Adviser will provide the Board, no less frequently than quarterly, with information about the profitability of the Adviser on a per Subadvised Series basis. The information will reflect the impact on profitability of the hiring or termination of any sub-adviser during the applicable quarter.
9. Whenever a sub-adviser is hired or terminated, the Adviser will provide the Board with information showing the expected impact on the profitability of the Adviser.
10. Whenever a sub-adviser change is proposed for an Affiliated Sub-Adviser or Wholly-Owned Sub-Adviser to a Subadvised Series, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, will make a separate finding, reflected in the Board minutes, that such change is in the best interests of the Subadvised Series and its shareholders, and does not involve a conflict of interest from which the Adviser or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser or the Wholly-Owned Sub-Adviser derives an inappropriate advantage.
11. No Board Member or officer of a Subadvised Series, or partner, director, manager, or officer of the Adviser, will own directly or indirectly (other than through a pooled investment vehicle that is not controlled by such person), any interest in a Sub-Adviser, except for (i) ownership of interests in the Adviser or any entity, other than a Wholly-Owned Sub-Adviser, that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Adviser; or (ii) ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding securities of any class of equity or debt of a publicly-traded company that is either a Sub-Adviser or an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a Sub-Adviser.
12. Each Subadvised Series will disclose the Aggregate Fee Disclosure in its registration statement.
13. In the event the Commission adopts a rule under the Act providing substantially similar relief to that requested in the Application, the requested order will expire on the effective date of that rule.
14. Any new Sub-Advisory Agreement or any amendment to a Subadvised Series' existing Investment Management Agreement or Sub-Advisory Agreement that directly or indirectly results in an increase in the aggregate advisory fee rate payable by the Subadvised Series will be submitted to the Subadvised Series' shareholders for approval.

SAVING MONEY AS A COSPLAYER... IS IT POSSIBLE!?Every single cosplayer in the world has one painful problem that we can all relate to: we're always broke. Always.
Fabric, thread, machines, paints, wood, tools, thermoplastics, LEDs, mould castings, brushes, dyes, wigs, make-up, contacts, boots, prosthetics, convention tickets, travel expenses, luggage, skin care, gym... the list goes on and on. Every single cent we earn, we constantly throw it all back into making our beloved costumes and feeling good for a few hours while stressing for months prior-hand. Non-cosplayers may not get it, but we do. For us, it's not a sacrifice. The chance to hone our creative spirit and create something from nothing is a rewarding life experience. Some think that the cost of an outfit is more valuable compared to medication and psychological sessions.
But like it not, we've all gotta come to a conclusion that the hobby must come to an end for us one day, and to have some money saved up for your next step in life is a greater advantage than having nothi
Writing, Reading, Blogging... 6 months in.This is going to be a bit of a departure from my normal journals. I'm one of those people that tends to pop up now and then in between projects and "update" everyone on how I am and what I'm doing... once in awhile I'll even post an art feature... but I don't do a lot of "articles". Today, at least for an hour, that's going to change. Why? Because after spending the last 6 months of my life blogging and immersing myself in the writer community, I feel I've learned a few things that deserve to be shared here on DeviantART, where the writing community tends to feel like a string of small, secluded islands.Writing, Reading, Blogging... 6 months in.2 years ago in Personal More Like This

9 reasons to appreciate ACRYLICS1. UNIVERSALITY - Acrylic are probably the most versatile of paints. You can thin them with water and use as watercolor (they will remain permanent upon drying, unlike watercolor), apply them in full strength, create textures.9 reasons to appreciate ACRYLICS3 years ago in Art Features More Like This
2. COMBINABLE - This medium is very suitable to be combined with anything you wish - watercolor, ink, pencils, oils... Free your imagination and experiment!
3. NUMEROUS SUITABLE SURFACES - Acrylics can be used on paper, canvas, wood, metal and many more surfaces (this is true, even though they don't adhere towards some surfaces as promptly as oils). This is a great advantage, when you get used to this medium, you can paint at whatever material you've got available.
4. DON'T STINK - That's right, all of you that have experienced headaches caused by oil paint might just appreciate an acrylic vacation!
5. FAST DRYING TIME - Composition doesn't seem right after you put down your first layer? This is not a problem, wait half an hour

I will be sending them in batches (around 45 to 50 at a time). I'll keep this page updated as to which orders I have sent and not so, etc.
My trips to the post office for those batches respectively will be on the 11th, 14th, 17th and 20th. It's safer to not post all at once and this will give me enough time to rest in between since I'll have to pack everything / fill in forms :3c
As soon as I pack your order for the batch, I'll contact you checking your address again! I will be keeping hold of your copy no matter what until I get your OK to post it. It's better to be safe than sorry and it has been a period of time
The average it takes to arrive from around the world is a week or two! Though this may take longer or shorter, post has a mind of it's own \o/ I really hope you do enjoy the book!

Cosplay, short for costume play, is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character, or idea. Characters are often drawn from popular fiction in Japan, but recent trends have included American cartoons and science fiction.
Favorite sources include manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, hentai and fantasy movies, as well as anthropomorphic manifestations.

First of all, let me warn you that by the end of this journal entry, you may find yourself sick of my face. (If you aren't already.) I'll be using mostly myself as an example for the things I'm going to discuss, because I'm the only person I can poke fun at without restrictions.
I get asked a lot of questions about these cosplay photos that most of you have come to know me for. Sometimes it's about the techniques we use, requests for tips and advice for other people who want to do something similar. Other times, the comments come from people who aren't familiar with cosplay, but are curious about it and are interested to know more. So I thought of making this li
COSPLAY =/= CONSENT, HOWEVER.....I think all cosplayers have been brought to the attention of the latest fad sweeping every convention, forum, blog, vlog, and practically everywhere else... the whole "cosplay =/= consent" thing.COSPLAY =/= CONSENT, HOWEVER.....2 years ago in Personal More Like This
Do I support this ideal? Absolutely. Everyone who knows me knows I do, considering I own a pair of boobs and all that comes with being a woman.
However, this trend had caught the attention of feminazi's [feminist nazi's, aka. flailing vaginas] who are taking matters far and beyond and making rules of their own, even attacking individuals who say they've gone too far. Now this, I don't stand for.
But here's what I stand for...
I'm a cosplayer. I choose to cosplay.
I choose which cosplays I'd like to make.
Nobody forced it onto me. It's my decision.
My decision to cosplay a certain character inevitably affects how people look at me, whether they adore my character, barely look at me, or stare at all my flesh.
As said above, I chose to wear that costume. My choice.

Anyway, I made a new archive that contains them both, a zip this time. It's here :
That's its MD5 checksum : 555d41086ae7225ad48ea5cf41a3ee24. So you can check for eventual corruption of the archive by Rapidshare should you experience problems with this one as well.

Ok ladies, I am NOT trying to offend anyone here but If I don't get this off my chest I'm gonna stay up all night thinking about it thanks to these wonderful preggo hormones.
I surf other pregnancy boards (though this one is my favorite and I mostly only check out other boards when this one is slow. I'm on bed rest and get bord.) and one thing I have noticed is how many women are opting to get elective C-sections and how many women do NOT believe in breast feeding. I actually saw someone who said that the would NOT give vaginal birth or breast feed because it was "just unnatural"
OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS?? What do you think they did 100 years ago before c sections and formula??? They had vaginal births and breastfed. If they couldn't BF thats what wet nurses were for!!
I mean honestly!!!
Now I can 100% understand if you NEED a c-section. But I personally will NEVER understand opting for major surgery that really can have major complications VS vaginal birth.
As for the BFing, I can understand being nervous, or having some sort of issue and not being able to breast feed, but those who won't BF because they think its un natural?! WTF? It doesn't get more natural then that!!! And what about "oh I don't wanna BF it makes your boobs weird" NO pregnancy makes your boobs weird. You CAN NOT stop the hormones from changing your boobs, making colostrom and (like 90% of the time) you cant stop your milk from coming in so if you don't want your boobs to change dont get knocked up. Since your already pregnant, you might as well at least TRY to breast feed your baby.
To all you FTM's. I was a FTM too. I understand the fear and worry of the unknown. But Labor, vaginal birth and breastfeeding are pretty much WHAT WOMEN WERE BUILT FOR. Literally. It is NOT un natural!! And it is NOT as bad as you think!!!
OK vent over. Sorry if I offended anyone and thats not what I was going for but as stated before I had to get this off my chest.

The launch of 'Summer Six' marks Vevo's debut into the UK festival scene, as it follows six artists around the festival circuit, to generate behind the scenes and "on the road" footage.
Lynx will be the exclusive sponsor of the program, which will include 96 pieces of co-branded content and kicks off next week with footage from the Great Escape festival in Brighton on 9-10 May.
The deal was brokered by Mindshare.
Artists included in the scheme are: Chiddy Bang; Benga; Sub Focus; Dry the River; Maverick Sabre and Spector.
Vevo has partnerships with Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI and many independent labels, to provide a library of 45,000 videos from more than 11,000 artists.
It launched in the UK a year ago, and while it has had around 50 brand partners, including Coca-Cola and BT, this is the first time a major brand has sponsored one of its programmes.

Damn, I won't be at LAAFA until this summer for the atelier program.
Two Questions:
- Is this class a one-time event, or will you be scheduling more concept design classes at LAAFA?
- Do you happen to know if atelier students will be able to sign up (schedules permitting), or is the class strictly for sessions students?
Fingers crossed that you'll make the class a regular occurrence at LAAFA for BOTH atelier and sessions students

so is the final version out?
well...is it?
Re: so is the final version out?
there are two different possible candicates for final version out and by out i mean leaked.
there is the 6.1.7600.16384 and 6.1.7600.16385.
And when real final gets signed off, they will probably round up the number to something like 6.1.7600.17000 for example.
Re: so is the final version out?
Re: so is the final version out?
Well, it can't be the 16384 version since it doesn't offer a choice for the type of W7 you have purchased. 16385 does that, but again, there might be a version after that...

Nice to hear that ISU is getting to more recruits. Good job CPR and staff.
This hopefully shows how important it is to be in a major conference for recruiting.

Stop it. Because we didn't take the "Giggles plan" we are having a lot of trouble recruiting in Wyoming.
Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.

One was Lampkin right? the speedster WR from omaha
Out of the loop...Giggles = a certain afternoon radio host? A certain condescending jerk face in my book.
No one can match our dedication and passion for Nintendo's classic sports titles...Tecmo Bowl & R.B.I. Baseball. In-depth strategy guides, player attributes, team rankings, along with incredibly detailed recaps of our season play. We don't reminisce, we just keep playing!
They are two guys that we should be happy about getting. One of them was actually my guess at our first commitment (if that helps anyone).
Lampkin is loaded with speed and would be a great get for the slot.

This Child Will Be Great Memoir of a Remarkable Life by Africa's First Woman President (Paperback)
|Author: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
Learn more about This Child Will Be Great:
From the Publisher:
In January 2006, after the Republic of Liberia had been racked by fourteen years of brutal civil conflict, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf-Africa's "Iron Lady"-was sworn in as president, an event that marked a tremendous turning point in the history of the West African nation.
In this stirring memoir, Sirleaf shares the inside story of her rise to power, including her early childhood; her experiences with abuse, imprisonment, and exile; and her fight for democracy and social justice. This compelling tale of survival reveals Sirleaf's determination to succeed in multiple worlds: from her studies in the United States to her work as an international bank executive to her election campaigning in some of Liberia's most desperate and war-torn villages and neighborhoods. It is also the story of an outspoken political and social reformer who, despite danger, fought the oppression of dictators and championed change. By sharing her story, Sirleaf encourages women everywhere to pursue leadership roles at the highest levels of power, and gives us all hope that, with perseverance, we can change the world.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's place in world history has already been assured, as she is the first woman ever to be elected president of an African nation--Liberia in 2006. She recounts her own amazing journey, including a disastrous marriage, her education at Harvard, her imprisonment following Samuel Doe's 1980 coup, the brutal civil war that ravaged Liberia in the 1990s, and her eventual rise to the presidency. But she is more focused on determining her nation's fate for the future, as she analyzes the divisive history of Liberia and provides unique insight as to the steps necessary to make the country, and other African nations in similar financial straits, a viable participant in the global economy.

Laura was born and raised in New York, and always felt torn between her love of farming and nature and wanting to be in her hometown, close to family and friends. Working for Greenmarket as a third-year manager and outreach coordinator has given her the opportunity to be around farmers, spend her days outdoors and help connect people to the process of where their food comes from. Prior to coming to Greenmarket, Laura worked with gender issues in the non-profit sector, and holds an M.A. in International Development. Laura is a hobby beekeeper, gardener, and avid traveler. She has farmed in England, Japan and locally in Connecticut. She hopes to one day have her own farm. But in the meantime, she's enjoying spending her days at market, seeing the seasons change through fresh, local food.

laid back girl looking for a meeting of the minds.
I'm a laid-back person who is comfortable in her own skin. I have a pretty wicked sense of humor and love laughing and making others laugh. I'm looking for someone that I can enjoy being with and look forward to just hanging out with. I truly believe that a healthy relationship consists of two complete individuals, not two individuals looking to complete each other. I am a single mom, so the person that I am with must love and appreciate children as well. It's hard to say what it is exactly that I'm looking for, because there maybe someone out there with qualities that I never even knew I wanted until I met them. I do know that some of the qualities that are most important to me are trust, communication, passion, humor, and most of all fun. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds.

I love to travel and must make an annual pilgrimage to the beach. I love to be around water. I tend to go to Mexico a couple times a year. In town, I like the smaller coffee shop vibe as opposed to the loud, smoky bar scene.
The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX
I love acoustic music. I enjoy discovering and supporting artists that aren't quite mainstream. I'm a pretty laid-back person, so casual restuarants are usually best for me. I love the movies and will pretty much be open to seeing anything.
I can have fun doing anything. It's not as important what you are doing as it is who you are with. I love listening to live music. However, I tend to enjoy the smaller venues best. I love movies, softball, and laughing with friends.
