Just as a warning I can't guarantee this will make sense. I am so furious right now.
So we haven't seen ILs in a month. I had posted a thread about how they always invite/want to come over last min and guess what? We have plans. So they are pissy because last weekend I had a baby shower to go to (with LO) and then before that DH had a friend in town, then this weekend we were seeing friends we haven't seen since the babe was born and today we are going to my moms. FIL is pissy we are going there for Super Bowl but you fing asked us last night, she asked two weeks ago!
Then he says we haven't spent the last four super bowls with them. Uh we lived over six HUNDRED miles away the last three years you idiot. We now live 40 miles away and you have seen us 3 times in the last 14 months, two of those after DS was born.
I'm so sorry I don't want to pack up my three month old at the drop of a hat and make a 1.5 hr drive or more depending on traffic. I mean really?? The only kid you have at home is the 30 yr old one who mooches off you and depleted all your savings/retirement trying to keep him out of jail. Oh and it didn't work.
THEN I hear about how I go to my moms a lot. (30-45 min away)First of all I have always gone to my moms a lot and now LO just happens to go with. SECOND of all I see her a lot because she is a 42 yr old widow trying to raise three kids under 18 (there's six of us total). My dad wasn't even 50 when he died of cancer and my youngest sibling was only eight then. I'm sorry my helping her out is such an inconvience to you. So he says doesn't she have other other people to help?
Yeah she had my dads mother who felt off in July, found out she had a brain tumor and died in August you f-ing asshole.
So I basically said this to them, they said Well she's an adult! So I said hey maybe if you son had died and his baby mom hadn't remarried you'd go see her raising your grandson (who is the same age as my little brother) all by herself ( not that BIL helps cause he has no custody but her new husband does)and be like Hey you're an adult, you're fine. Peace out!
Then they got quiet and finally said we had gotten off topic and DH goes "sorry I'm not telling people No just in case you Might want to invite us last min to something"
And that's why I love him XD
I just can't believe they went there like my dads death was my handy excuse. Are you fucking kidding me? FIL even said once its been three years now, is it really such a big deal? I have NEVER wanted to punch someone so much! Oh and even with three kids my mom has been to see us over six times in the last three months. Why? Because she says she knows what a pain it is traveling with a baby.
That and the racism is why they don't babysit. I'm sorry but being family does not mean you get to say/do whatever. I don't keep poisonous friends around and I'm especially not keeping family like that around.
You should have realized I'm not kidding about this shit. That's why you weren't allowed the day LO was born, oh and thanks for showing up the next day making racist jokes in front of my mom and the nurses FIL. This is one of many reasons LO will never go to your supposedly "Christian" church that just happens to be all white people.
And you wonder why DH wanted to move away so bad?
So in conclusion, fuck them. And if they are lucky they will get to see us for an hour at Christmas.
Blew up at ILs
Just as a warning I can't guarantee this will make sense. I am so furious right now.

I lol'd at your sarcasm :)
Married my best friend James in April 2007
Tiny Tot born November 2012
Chunky Monkey born November 2014
Thanks everyone! Before they always rubbed me wrong (mostly the racism thing) but now that we live closer I just want to scream. I just can't believe they went that far. They were at my grandmas funeral this past august! Ugh.
Oh, and FIL just posted on my facebook "So when are you letting us see Cale?" passive agressive much? He's just doing it because of the family that we are friends with.
I private messaged him and said he could call to make an appointment but we are full up on a-holes visiting till July at least. I also told him if he posted stuff like that on my wall again I'd report it and delete him from my friends, so then he wouldn't even get to see the pics of LO I post occasionally.
DS is currently laying on his playmat hitting the toys and giggling. All I can think is how I want my own adult size playmat with cutesy stuff to smack and punch right now!

Cocktails anyone?
So...I've been on Match before and have met some amazing people and some not-so-nice people. Why am I giving it another shot you ask?? Because quite frankly, I'm getting sick of being stuck at the "Singles" table at weddings and work functions. NYC is definitely a great place to live, but why is it such a difficult place to find a decent date?? I currently live in Hell's Kitchen, or "Clinton" as brokers are calling it these days...I prefer the former as it sounds more seedy:) I've lived in NYC my entire life (minus a 2-year hiatus in Chicago) and have grown quite tired of the clubbing and upscale lounge scene. I refuse to wait in a long line or pay an ex-con bouncer to get into an overcrowded club with terrible music and over-priced drinks. I'd rather a more intimate wine bar or dive bar with board games and billiards. Who am I looking for?? A smart, fun, witty guy that doesn't take himself too seriously, recognizes his flaws and accepts mine, and sees the glass as "half-full." Less importantly: a partner for pub trivia, personal masseuse, guinea pig for new recipes, and navigator for spontaneous road trips. I am one of those rare Manhattanites that actually owns a car, so I enjoy frequent last minute getaways--gambling in AC, wine tasting in Long Island, and am still awaiting a longer, more adventurous trip up to Canada! (So you better have a passport!). I'm also training for my first marathon this fall, so a running buddy/friendly competition is more than welcome! What I enjoy: walking the Highline, running the West Side Highway; good beer, even better champagne; daytime cocktails, after-hours White Castle; live music, a good dance-off. I'm a successful, funny, cute gal, so let's have a drink or two and see what kind of trouble we can get into!
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Other types of exercise, Running, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I love to try new restaurants and wine bars in NYC. I also travel quite frequently to Chicago, which I consider my second home. I also love So-Cal, or anyplace else with great beaches and wine!
Fordham University, New York, NY
Homeland, Yankees and Giants. Food-wise I have a pretty diverse palate--pretty much anything goes, the spicier the better! I do love Sushi--my homemade rivals Gari. And who doesn't love a Michelin-starred restaurant??
I love to travel and am always hopping a last minute flight to visit friends or just escape NYC. When in town, I love Sunday Funday (Go Big Blue!), pub trivia, wine tasting. I also love to cook and enjoy hosting dinner parties
Too many to list...I belong to a great book club and have read many interesting books recently. Love the NYT on the weekend, and Page Six is my daily indulgence:)

Choosing the right supply chain software is only the first step toward improving your supply chain performance. The next and perhaps most critical step is the process of implementation. From the moment you chose Robocom as your partner, our team works with you to achieve the best fit possible between our supply chain software and your unique requirements.
At Robocom we use a four phase methodology to first understand your needs then deliver a system that will help reduce your operating costs and achieve your objectives:
Each step of the launch cycle is important to the overall success of the project. Thorough analysis defines your unique and specific requirements. Rigorous testing procedures ensure the selected supply chain system is functioning predictably and interfacing properly with other systems.
Although users are provided with extensive training prior to implementation, on-site support during the launch phase is highly recommended. This support guarantees users are comfortable with new procedures and are able to efficiently perform daily routines.
At the completion of every project, a review or site audit is performed to ensure you realize the benefits you expect.

Cubs prospect Tyler Colvin wins Opening Day job
Mar 29, 2010, 3:40 PM EDT
In a surprise move, the Cubs have decided to keep 24-year-old outfield prospect Tyler Colvin on the Opening Day roster. Colvin is slated for a bench role, although manager Lou Piniella said that he hopes to find the former first-round pick 2-3 starts per week.
Piniella cited Colvin's outstanding spring training performance as the reason for making the team, but basing decisions on 20 exhibition games against inconsistent levels of competition is usually a mistake and I'm not sure what the big rush is with Colvin.
He's been excellent this spring and hit .300 with an .859 OPS in 89 games at Double-A last season, but he had an ugly 57/16 K/BB ratio in the process and before that Colvin struggled so much at Double-A the previous season that the Cubs demoted him back to Single-A.
His plate discipline and strike-zone control have improved, but only from horrendous to merely bad, and Colvin has yet to log a single plate appearance at Triple-A. Why jump him from Double-A to the majors just so he can mostly sit on the bench behind Alfonso Soriano, Marlon Byrd, Kosuke Fukudome, and Xavier Nady? Why not send him to Triple-A, let him prove that his recent success is for real, and call him up when you actually need him?
- JasonC23 - Mar 29, 2010 at 4:20 PM
Your first mistake is attempting to use logic to analyze a decision made by the Cubs.
- jwb - Mar 29, 2010 at 4:35 PM
The fifth outfielder alternative is Sam Fuld, so it's meh or meh.
- Ed-dough - Mar 29, 2010 at 4:50 PM
I am a bit surprised that the Cubs are giving Colvin a chance so soon, considering the way they screwed up Corey Patterson. But if the kid can really swing the bat he will get a real chance to play as the Cubs outfielders are all over 30 years old and two of them -Soriano and Nady are injury prone. Fukadome is a failure and Pinella's patience with him is just about used up. Fukadome will be on the bench long before the All-Star break unless he hits better than he has the last 2 years.
- slaphitter - Mar 30, 2010 at 11:06 AM
He turns 25 this year and was a #1 pick. How long should the Cubs wait? If he can't handle it, he's a bust. He can still say he got closer than Ty Griffin, Earl Cunningham, Ryan Harvey and the others in the huge collection of busts.

The San Francisco Giants announced a "sneak peak" preview of their promotional giveaway schedule this morning and it looks like a first-time-ever Sergio Romo bobblehead will lead the pack of swag for 2012.
Romo has become a fan favorite, especially after his dominating performance in 2011 in which he went 3-1 with a 1.50 ERA, 0.708 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts in 48 innings (13.1 SO/9).
The Romo bobblehead will be given to the first 20,000 fans who attend the May 5 game at AT&T Park against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The rest of the promo schedule will be announced in a couple of weeks, so bookmark this page as I will update it when more giveaways are announced.
I hope you enjoyed reading "Sergio Romo bobblehead among 2012 promos for SF Giants." I'm interested in your opinion on this article. Why not leave a comment at 22gigantes.com?

No he did that himself.
I don't imagine we'll be seeing Jammen around for a little while...
So does Jammen actually cheer for a specific team or just whoever isn't wearing black/gold and coached by Brands?
He like Minnesota. But hates Iowa far worse than he likes Minny.
Congratulations Hawkeye fans. Iowa came to wrestle and deserves the accolades. I do think the victory dance will be short lived though as new #1 Minny is ready to put on a beatdown in three weeks.
Is it possible that J pulls little Ness's RS and Deitchler makes an appearance? Stay tuned.
What a fan you are Jammen, Deitchler said in an interview he wouldnt be back til next year at the earliest.
If they were goin to pull his RS why wait so long? Zilverburg is serviceable and he's a 49 pounder so why make him wrestle up?
seems like a waste of 2 RS

When I left Chicago that morning it was just like any other departure morning for me. Double check I hadn't forgotten any items, load up the bike, make sure everything was secured. Say goodbye to the host and hit the road. I had no idea this leg of the journey would be a substantial turning point for me.
After around 2000 miles of riding I knew I had a long way to go to make it to 10,000 miles. I made it out of Chicago and it was almost immediately corn fields and nothingness, as is much of our beloved midwest countryside. I noticed a town called Dixon in Illinois, which is my last name.
Shortly after I passed Dixon, IL, a strange and uncomfortable feeling came over me. The enormity of the task ahead of me set in, and it began to eat at me and cause my stomach to turn as I clicked over the miles. It got so heavy I pulled off under an overpass to have a moment to get my head right. I think I was experiencing a panic attack, as some would call it, or something darn close.
This was a critical moment for me. As I understand it now, I truly hadn't become a man yet at that moment in my life. I was still a scared boy, afraid to fail. Afraid to venture out on my own, into a part of the world unknown to me and void of people I knew. Sure, i'd done some crazy things, and taken lots of risks most people I knew would never dream of doing, but unbeknownst to them I always felt I had a safety net to catch me if I fell. I was around people that loved me and cared about me all the time. This was different. This time, I was on my own. Under that overpass I dealt with a seemingly insurmountable amount of fear and doubt. Could I do this? 8000 more miles, all alone? I texted several friends and asked for prayer. I called my fiancee and told her I was headed to Omaha. I didn't let on what a mess I'd been moments before, but I'm sure she could hear it in my voice. I sure missed her and it would be another month before we'd see each other in Vegas.
I'm very glad I have this photo of my bike under that overpass. I'm not ashamed to admit the tear streamed down my face as I took it. I had decided I would suck it up and finished what I started. I would complete this journey. This photo marks my entry to manhood. Im humbled to share this experience with you.
That was the low point of my trip, and in just the few hours following it I would experience drastic improvement.
I remember a few minutes after crossing the Mississippi and into Iowa the first attitude enhancer appeared. It was a fighter jet on my right. I've loved fighter jets my whole life; drawing them, playing with models of them, learning about them, had pictures on my walls of them, but had never seen one in person. This one was running parallel with the interstate, low to the ground, doing aerobatics. I grinned from ear to ear watching it roll and twist and turn. I could hear it over the wind noise in my helmet. It was awesome.
I had my camera mounted to my right hand pelican case with a remote running into my jacket pocket, and I was able to snap this photo of the jet. The second photo is a crop to show it closer.
Later, at an Iowa gas station, I ran into this big yellow van full of college students. They were apparently big sports fans. Very cool van. Couldn't help but cheer me up to see something like that.
I caught a few pictures of it on the interstate, with my remote triggered camera, when I eventually caught back up with them.
The most incredible moment of the day would come at a rural McDonalds along my route in the mid afternoon. I had stopped for a break from the bike and a cold drink. I sat in a booth near the window and kept an eye on my bike.
I saw a middle aged couple pull up in the lot on a cruiser and walk toward the entry. They stopped to look at my bike, giving it a full 360 degree inspection. I could see them pointing and discussing my tag, likely the fact that I was from NC. They entered and ordered food. I had my back to them. They came and sat down nearby, and stopped over to speak to me.
They asked how I liked my seat (referring to my Airhawk pad), and I explained what a lifesaver it'd been. I told them about what I was doing, and where I was headed. They were astounded, a response i'd become pretty numb to. We talked a bit and they went to finish their meal. Eventually they got up to leave and said goodbye as they headed back out. I watched them walk down the sidewalk back toward their bike.
Then, I saw the lady stop. She said something to her husband and turned to come back inside. I figured she'd forgotten something. Next thing I knew there she was standing next to me, as she put a hand on my shoulder.
"I want to give you this," she said, as she handed me a $20 bill. "I think what you're doing is really great."
"Well thank you, you don't have to do that, but I appreciate it very much," I said, surprised.
"And I wanted to tell you something, and I don't want to sound crazy, but I'm a Christian lady and I just felt like God put it on my heart as we were leaving that I needed to come back and tell you this. I have this friend who always reminds me that it's up to us to choose to have a good day. No matter what happens, it's really up to us whether we decide it is a good day or not. So, whatever that may mean to you, I just felt like I needed to tell you that. Make it a good day."
I was stunned. I was certain I hadn't let on what an emotional roller coaster that day had been. I snapped a photo of them getting on the bike knowing i'd remember that moment forever.
I know this isn't necessarily the "forum" for discussion of God or religion, but this is my ride report and you can deal with it.
That experience was the clearest, most real occasion of God speaking to me that I have had to date. I cannot do the story justice. I know it may seem simple and mostly insignificant to most, but I cannot begin to explain how anointed it felt. It was as if God himself had put his hand on my shoulder and encouraged me. I'm not the sort of person who has a list of experiences like this a mile long, and it really spoke to me. It was clear to me in that moment that I was meant to do this trip and that God would be with me every mile of it. He'd given his stamp of approval, no doubt.
I stopped and took pictures of myself at this big windmill farm I came across. I remember thinking how majestic they looked. After so many miles of flat corn they made an impression.
Anyway, several hundred miles later I made it to Omaha, NE, shortly after sunset, ending a day I'd not soon forget.
More to come...

Superstorm was 'everything they said it was'
In Moonachie, N.J., 10 miles north of Manhattan, water rose to 5 feet within 45 minutes and trapped residents who thought the worst of the storm had passed. Mobile-home park resident Juan Allen said water overflowed a 2-foot wall along a nearby creek, filling the area with 2 to 3 feet of water within 15 minutes. "I saw trees not just knocked down but ripped right out of the ground," he said. "I watched a tree crush a guy's house like a wet sponge."
In a measure of its massive size, waves on southern Lake Michigan rose to a record-tying 20.3 feet. High winds spinning off Sandy's edges clobbered the Cleveland area early Tuesday, uprooting trees, closing schools and flooding major roads along Lake Erie.
Most along the East Coast, though, grappled with an experience like Bertha Weismann of Bridgeport, Conn. — frightening, inconvenient and financially problematic but, overall, endurable. Her garage was flooded and she lost power, but she was grateful. "I feel like we are blessed," she said. "It could have been worse."
Event of a lifetime
Sandy began in the Atlantic and knocked around the Caribbean — killing nearly 70 people — and strengthened into a hurricane as it chugged across the southeastern coast of the United States. By Tuesday night it had ebbed in strength but was joining up with another, more wintry storm — an expected confluence of weather systems that earned it nicknames like "superstorm" and, on Halloween eve, "Frankenstorm."
It became, pretty much everyone agreed Tuesday, the weather event of a lifetime — and one shared vigorously on social media by people in Sandy's path who took eye-popping photographs as the storm blew through, then shared them with the world by the blue light of their smartphones.
On Twitter, Facebook and the photo-sharing service Instagram, people tried to connect, reassure relatives and make sense of what was happening — and, in many cases, work to authenticate reports of destruction and storm surges.
They posted and passed around images and real-time updates at a dizzying rate, wishing each other well and gaping, virtually, at scenes of calamity moments after they unfolded. Among the top terms on Facebook through the night and well into Tuesday, according to the social network: "we are OK," "made it" and "fine."
About midday Tuesday, Sandy was about 120 miles east of Pittsburgh, pushing westward with winds of 45 mph, and was expected to turn toward New York State on Tuesday night. Although weakening as it goes, the storm will continue to bring heavy rain and flooding, said Daniel Brown of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla.

Member since 20021500 Marilla 4DN
Dallas, TX 75225 Map 214-670-5299 Visit website
The City of Dallas is committed to the principle of environmental stewardship and this commitment is demonstrated through its leadership in the area green building policies for both its own buildings and new privately owned construction throughout the city.
The City of Dallas has completed numerous green facilities since adopting the standard in 2003 that all new municipal buildings over 10,000 SF be built to at least LEED Silver certified level, and more are in the stages of design and construction. To date, the City has over 25 buildings in various stages of certification and have Platinum, Gold, and Silver buildings listed on the US Green Building Council LEED Projects & Case Studies Directory. In addition, the City continues to upgrade its many existing buildings with various green features.
In 2008, Dallas became one of the first major cities in the nation to pass comprehensive green building standards for both residential and commercial construction. In September 2012, the City Council adopted Green Building Resolution 12-2428 Ordinance 28813 for Phase II of the green building ordinance. Scheduled for full effectiveness on October 1, 2013, Phase II has incorporated multiple building efficiency systems into the ordinance to ensure that Dallas remains on the leading edge of green building design and use.

There seems to be a feeling within the motorcycle industry that the number of new riders is in decline with less and less people opting to experience life on two wheels. If you were to then ask why this is, there would be a mixture of responses. 'There's not enough to promote the benefits to new riders', 'there's a negative association with motorcycling', 'it's too expensive to learn' and 'the licensing is too confusing and off putting'.
Whether these feeling are justified or not we'll go into a bit later, but given the above it's then surprising to hear that over the last few years the number of people taking their module 1 & 2 tests has actually been increasing.
According to stats put forward by the DSA the number of people taking their tests has been increasing steadily since 2009, as shown in the table below, apart from the most recent data available, from 2013-2014, which shows a huge decrease in the number of tests taken.
Bridgestone's new motocross tyre has been given a huge seal of approval by one of the UK's most successful riders ever, who declared: "It saves seconds in laps, significant sums of money in replacements and is the best tyre I've ridden on."

Andy and Emilie recently rode a Royal Enfield motorcycle from Delhi, India to Yangon, Myanmar, passing through Nepal and Bhutan along the way. This made them the first foreigners to cross independently and under their own steam from India into Myanmar in several decades.
The seven week, 6,500 km odyssey took them through high mountains and dense jungle and across some of the dodgiest regions and worst roads that the world has to offer. Having finally made it safe and sound back to Yangon, in this article they tell us five big lessons that they learned from the trip.
Triumph UK are set to launch their new TriStar finance scheme and complimentary accessory packages this February.
From February 1st the Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) packages will be available on a range of Triumph bikes and the cheapest offers can see customers paying as little as £89 a month for a new ride.
The Peak District National Park Authority has revealed legal orders to exclude trail bikes and 4x4s from two green lanes in the Peak District.
The Roych and Chapel Gate green lanes will be off limits to motorists with Permanent Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO) being put in place to protect a 3.5km section of the Roych (a section of the Pennine Bridle way) and a 3km section of Chapel Gate (a green lane which skirts Rushup Edge.
Suzuki has announced the availability of the new V-Strom 1000 as well as confirming the service intervals of the bike.
The new V-Strom 1000, which was officially revealed to journalists last month (check the ABR verdict in issue 20), is set to arrive in showrooms from February 17th with dealers already taking deposits on the machine.

Vehicle tax will no longer carry over to the next owner from October 2014.
As the DVLA plan to introduce a paperless vehicle tax they have also revealed vehicle tax will not carry over to new owners if the vehicle is sold.
The DVLA will be scrapping the paper tax disc in October 2014 and along with the move to axe the 93 year old proof of vehicle tax, any remaining months of tax leftover will no longer be able to carry on to the new owner like it currently can. If you sell a vehicle you will be able to get a refund on the remaining full months, but if you're buying then you could be in a bit of a pickle.
The Institute of Advanced Motorists has released figures showing that nearly 200 drivers on UK roads are aged over 100-years-old, with the oldest being 106.
The figures, which were gathered by road safety charity IAM and published by the DVLA, reveal that, as of November 2013, there were 195 drivers over the age of 100-years-old, over one million over 80-years-old and seven million over-65.

Russian state corporation Rostekhnologii has backed away from plans to place options for current Boeing 737 models and will consider a newer narrowbody type.
In 2010 Rostekhnologii's leasing subsidiary, Aviakapital-Servis, secured purchase rights for 35 more 737s - across the -700 to -900 range - in addition to a firm order covering 50 aircraft.
Aviakapital-Servis director general Roman Pakhomov says it intends to start delivering the firm part to Aeroflot in 2013, as stipulated by the agreement signed with the carrier last January.
"To finance the deal, we want to secure long-term loans under guarantees of the US [Export-Import Bank]," he says. "We've submitted an application to that end.
"After receiving their proposal over the next two months, we'll begin arranging a syndicated funding from major commercial banks."
But Aviakapital-Servis has ceased discussing the possibility of exercising options for more 737s. "We've exited from those talks," says Pakhomov. "Instead, we already look at the upcoming models in this segment, namely the Boeing 737 Max and Airbus A320neo."
The lessor is interested in the most "innovative and progressive" products, indicates Pakhomov. He expects Boeing and Airbus to detail specifications of their newer narrowbodies in August, and adds: "We'll consider commercial proposals from them afterwards."

Bradlee and Kennedy were something of a natural match, Himmelman writes, given their privileged upbringings.
Finally, although this was not a consensus report, rebuilding ties with the U.S. is privileged widely over a strategic disconnect.
Early in my own career, I worked for a madam who was determined to provide her kids with a privileged lifestyle.
mid-12c. "grant, commission" (recorded earlier in Old English, but as a Latin word), from Old French privilege "right, priority, privilege" (12c.) and directly from Latin privilegium "law applying to one person, bill of law in favor of or against an individual," later "privilege," from privus "individual" (see private (adj.)) + lex (genitive legis) "law" (see legal (adj.)). Meaning "advantage granted" is from mid-14c. in English.
early 14c., privilegen, "to invest with a privilege," from privilege (n.) and from Old French privilegier (13c.), from Medieval Latin privilegare, from Latin privilegium. Related: Privileged; priviledging.

Blur (2009)
With some complaining that the line-up was middle-aged when it was announced, Blur discarded any concerns of dullery when they closed Glastonbury 2009.
Their hit-laden set was praised for mixing up-tempo numbers such as Girls and Boys to slow and soulful This is A Low. And of course Phil Daniels popped on stage for their cockney classic Parklife.
It was the fourth time they'd played the festival, and their exhilarating 2009 set even saw an emotional Damon Albarn crying after To the End. A true blur of emotion, energy and nostalgia.

minnesota has Dolezal, Keough, Zilverberg, Ortiz all around 157.
It will be interesting to see what plays out @ 157 next year.
Does anyone know if Keough even wrestled this year??? Was he injured.... I didn't hear a word of him wrestling any opens this year????
I personally think both Dardanes and Ness staying where they are will make Minny a stonger team because I feel they will all be more effective there. I don't think the Dardanes have the body types to be as effective if they move up a weight compared to where they are now.
I also think Storley would be even tougher if he moved down to 165 considering he was a hammer on top @ 174.
He is built a lot like Howe. I wonder if Storley would have to cut much weight....How tall is he????
Yohn is just to inconsistent @ 165, I think if he would be able to add some bulk to his frame he would be better suited for 174. He almost looks sickly out there at times....like he is cutting to much weight....some guys can handle the weight cut but I doesn't appear that his body does that well it.

SECTION V--DESCRIPTION OF STRATEGIES Experimental (E): Those strategies that are ideas that have been suggested and at least one agency has considered sufficiently promising to try them on a small scale in at least one location. These strategies should be considered only after the others have proven not to be appropriate or feasible. Even where they are considered, their implementation should initially occur using a very controlled and limited pilot study which includes a properly designed evaluation component. Only after careful testing and evaluations show the strategy to be effective should broader implementation be considered. It is intended that as the experiences of such pilot tests are accumulated from various state and local agencies, the aggregate experience can be used to further detail the attributes of this type of strategy, so that it can be upgraded to a "proven" one. Targeting the Objectives The objectives contained in this guide are intended to target a variety of issues and a broad audience. Because motorcycle safety cannot be pinpointed to one controlling factor, neither can the responsibility of providing this safety fall solely upon the shoulders of the motor- cyclist, or one group of professionals. It is thus appropriate that this guide provide objectives that are far-reaching and that encompass many areas of expertise. Meaningful progress toward accomplishing the above objectives will be achieved when all stakeholders--licensing officials, roadway users, motorcycle riders, roadway designers, law enforcement, and legislators--take responsibility for implementing those strategies within their area of responsibility. Success will be measured in motorcyclists' lives saved and serious injuries that are averted on the roadways. Related Strategies for Creating a Truly Comprehensive Approach The strategies listed above, and described in detail below, are those largely unique to the motorcycle safety emphasis area. However, to create a truly comprehensive approach to the highway safety problems associated with this emphasis area, there are related strategies that may be included as candidates in any program planning process. These strategies can be organized into five categories: Public Information and Education Programs (PI&E)--Highway safety programs can be effectively enhanced with a properly designed PI&E campaign. The primary objective of a PI&E campaign in highway safety is to reach an audience across an entire jurisdiction, or a significant part of it. However, it may be desired to focus a PI&E campaign on a location- specific problem. While this is a relatively untried approach, as compared to area-wide campaigns, use of roadside signs and other experimental methods may be tried on a pilot basis. Within this guide, where the application of PI&E campaigns is deemed appropriate, it is usually in support of some other strategy. In such a case, the description for that strategy will suggest the possible use of a PI&E campaign (see the attribute area for each strategy entitled, "Associated Needs for, or Relation to, Support Services"). Enforcement of Traffic Laws--Well-designed, well-operated law enforcement programs can have a significant effect on highway safety. It is well established, for instance, that an effective way to reduce crashes and their severity is to have jurisdiction-wide programs that enforce an effective law against driving under the influence (DUI), or driving without seatbelts. When that law is vigorously enforced, with well-trained officers, the frequency and severity of highway crashes can be significantly reduced. This is considered an important element in V-5
OCR for page 20
SECTION V--DESCRIPTION OF STRATEGIES any comprehensive highway safety program. Enforcement programs are conducted at specific locations by the nature of how they must be performed. The effect (e.g., lower speeds, greater use of seatbelts, and reduced impaired driving) may occur at or near the specific location where the enforcement is applied. Coordinating the effort with an appropriate PI&E program can often enhance this effect. However, in many cases (e.g., speeding and seatbelt usage) the impact is area-wide or jurisdiction-wide. The effect can be either positive (i.e., the desired reductions occur over a greater part of the system), or negative (i.e., the problem moves to another location as road users move to new routes where enforcement is not applied). A pilot program is useful when it is unclear how the enforcement effort may impact behavior, or where it is desired to try an innovative and untried method. Within this guide, where the application of enforcement programs is deemed appropriate, it is often in support of some other strategy. Many of those strategies may be targeted at either a whole system, or a specific location. In such cases, the description for that strategy will suggest this possibility (see the attribute area for each strategy entitled, "Associated Needs for, or Relation to, Support Services"). Strategies to Improve Emergency Medical and Trauma System Services--Treatment of injured parties at highway crashes can have a significant impact on the level of severity and length of time that an individual spends in treatment. This is especially true when it comes to timely and appropriate treatment of severely injured persons. Thus, a well-based and comprehensive emergency care program is a basic part of a highway safety infrastructure. While the types of strategies that are included here are often thought of as simply support services, they can be critical to the success of a comprehensive highway safety program. Therefore, it is beneficial for a comprehensive motorcycle safety effort to include a critical review of the emergency medical and trauma system services to determine if there are improvements that can be made, especially for programs which are focused on location- specific (e.g., corridors), or area-specific (e.g., rural areas) issues. A separate guide has been developed to address the design and implementation of emergency medical systems strategies in rural areas (http://safety.transportation.org/guides.aspx?cid=36). Strategies Directed at Improving the Safety Management System--he management of the highway safety system is essential to success. Thus it follows that a sound organizational structure, as well as infrastructure of laws, policies, etc., should be in place to monitor, control, direct and administer a comprehensive approach to highway safety. It is important that a comprehensive program include a standardized system of crash data coding, collecting and analysis. While motorcycles are often overlooked during the collection of crash data, many states are recognizing the benefits of using existing crash data as a tool for monitoring highway safety and for the development of safety countermeasures. Until another comprehensive motorcycle crash causation study is conducted, this data can serve as a useful tool to better understand motorcycle crash causation. (Objective A of this guide specifically addresses the need to improve the coding, collection, and analysis of motorcycle crash data.) It is important that a comprehensive safety management program not be limited to one jurisdiction, such as a state DOT. Local agencies are often responsible for the majority of the road system. Furthermore, many different groups (e.g., law enforcement, data entry specialists, and data analysts) are needed in the standardization of motorcycle crash data. Strategies That Are Detailed in Other Emphasis Area Guides--Motorcycles, while unique in many regards, are still motor vehicles and subject to many of the same issues and solutions that are discussed for other vehicles. Therefore, most of the other guides in this series have strategies that may also improve motorcycle safety. The reader is encouraged to review each of the other guides, as well. V-6

College Scorecard earns 'meh' rating
In the State of the Union speech, President Obama promised to control college costs and provide a College Scorecard to help students and parents compare costs, graduation rates and loan repayments for any college or university. Some of the data is old and most has been available from other sources, reports the New York Times.
Further, the information is presented as averages and medians that might have little relevance to individual families. The scorecard does connect to each institution's net price calculator, which allows individualized cost estimates, but it does not provide side-by-side comparisons of multiple schools, as other government sites do.
Meanwhile the Gates Foundation's Reimagining Aid Design and Delivery project is generating more ideas.
In Aligning the Means and the Ends, The Institute for College Access & Success calls for doubling the maximum Pell Grant and giving students 7 1/2 years to complete a degree. Colleges should be rewarded for serving low-income students, TICAS urges. In addition, the white paper recommends:
• Use IRS data to simplify financial aid applications
• Combine income-based loan repayment programs into one plan that assures borrowers of manageable payments and forgiveness after 20 years.
• Eliminate higher education tax benefits and use the savings for Pell Grants and incentives for states and colleges to educate low-income students.
"For students who are willing to study, work, or serve their communities, the federal and state governments, along with their institutions, should make sure they can afford to go to college without the fear of crushing student loan debt," argues the Education Trust in Doing Away With Debt. the Education Trust.
By taking the federal resources we already spend on higher education and focusing them like a laser on reducing college costs for families with incomes below $115,000 a year (the bottom 80 percent) — providing debt-free education to those below $50,000 (the bottom 40 percent) and no-interest loans with income-based repayment to the rest — we can do much to solve this critical problem without adding to the overall cost of federal student aid.
National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators' policy brief discusses reforming student loans, improving consumer information, "rethinking entitlement and professional judgment and ensuring that colleges and students have "skin in the game."
Colleges fear loan defaults, sanctions
"A small but growing number of California community colleges have stopped participating in the federal loan program … out of fear that rising student loan default rates could lead to sanctions," reports California Watch.
Some 16 colleges have stopped disbursing the loans, and at least one more school – Bakersfield College – is considering ending its participation in the program.
. . . College officials say they stopped participating in federal loans because they were worried that an increase in student loan defaults would jeopardize their ability to offer federal grants. Colleges where students default on federal loans at high rates for several years in a row stand to lose eligibility for federal grants under sanctions issued by the U.S. Department of Education.
Community colleges are unlikely to face sanctions, argues The Institute for College Access and Success. Without access to federal loans, students may take out high-priced private loans with less flexible repayment terms.
Smart borrowing
Some California community colleges are using innovative strategies to promote "responsible use of federal student loans," reports Making Loans Work by The Institute for College Access and Success and the California Community Colleges Student Financial Aid Administrators Association.
While most community college students do not borrow, "federal student loans are an essential source of aid for those who do need to borrow to get through school," the report notes.
Among ideas for encouraging responsible borrowing:
Some colleges, including Santa Rosa Junior College, use worksheets to help students plan and budget for their education. This can substitute for in-person counseling at colleges with limited staff time, as well as help flag students who need additional guidance. Santa Rosa also holds regular "Workshops for Responsible Borrowing" throughout the semester.
Santa Barbara City College offers in-person counseling to every borrower, every year the student borrows. The meetings cover budgets, borrowing history, and academic progress and plans.
Long Beach City College and City College of San Francisco assign academic counselors to the financial aid office, to help make important connections between academic concerns and financial concerns.
To make sure they have a clear education plan, student borrowers at Antelope Valley College who have taken 70 units must see a counselor and submit an explanation of their plan for finishing their degree or transferring. Mendocino College does the same at 60 units.
Several colleges use automated systems to flag students who may be in danger of borrowing too much or defaulting on their loans and ensure they get help to stay on track.
California may require higher grades for grants
California Gov. Jerry Brown wants to raise the minimum grade point average to qualify for state-funded student aid, directing scarce resources to students who are the most likely to graduate. However, the state's Legislative Analyst believes the change will hurt the neediest students.
The governor would raise the minimum GPA from 3.0 to 3.25 to qualify for Cal Grant A, which covers tuition. Students would need a 2.75 GPA, up from 2.0, to qualify for Cal Grant B, which gives low-income students $1,551 for books, living expenses and tuition assistance. Community college students often use Cal Grant B. In addition, community college transfers would need a 2.75, up from 2.4, to apply for Cal Grants.
More than a third of current Cal Grant recipients would be locked out, predicts The Institute for College Access and Success.
These are students who have worked hard and earned the grades that the state has long promised entitled them to participate in California's primary student aid program. These are also the students, research shows, for whom financial aid may make the biggest difference in terms of helping them persist and succeed in college. As they finally reach the point where they are ready to go to college, many will find their dreams shattered.
Three out of four applicants cut out would be prospective Cal Grant B students, who on average have family incomes well below the poverty line. And the majority of these students go to community colleges, where students receive too little aid and are already less likely to receive state grants.
The legislative analyst's report recommended a smaller increase in the GPA requirement. The report also said Gov. Brown is underestimating the cost of Cal Grants in the proposed budget.

The hope that it will get easier is all that keeps me and DH going...we have an extremely defiant and strong willed child. We love him to death, but things have not been easy since about two and a half.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Here's a link to the chart! Nikki that's so great that it has helped you, too. Ours now looks like a race track, and instead of stickers he gets to move to the next pit stop until he gets to the finish line (10). It's fun to mix it up!
And I totally agree about tracking behavior fluxuations with developmental leaps. It's so helpful to realize that he'll soon grow into all his new information and be my sweet boy again!
OP if you go for the chart, power through the first few weeks. Find out what really matters to your son. IE my son LOVES his screen time, so if he loses all 6 coins he loses his screen time for the day, in addition to not getting a sticker or gummy vitamins at the end of the day. Also, he can't watch his screen time if he's missing coins, so it gives us a good checkpoint inthe middle of the day to earn coins back and get on track behaviorally.
In other words, don't be afraid to tailor it to fit your child. But stick with it for a few weeks before you judge if it will work or not. It may take him awhile to get it.

Rogue Descendant (No)by Jenna Black
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The third novel in an action-packed urban fantasy series from the acclaimed author of the Morgan Kingsley, Exorcist books—starring a female private eye who discovers that she's an immortal huntress.
No longer the leader of the Olympians, Konstantin has now gone into hiding. Konstantin is vulnerable, and Anderson believes now is the perfect time to destroy his nemesis. He orders private eye Nikki Glass to use her powers to locate Konstantin, and she balks at the idea until a series of attacks leads her to believe that Konstantin is gunning for her and Anderson instead of remaining safely in hiding.
Nikki's search is complicated by Cyrus—Konstantin's son and the new leader of the Olympians—who threatens retribution should his father be killed. The complications mount up as Nikki begins to suspect that Konstantin might not be behind the attacks after all. The only person who hates Konstantin more than Anderson does is Anderson's estranged wife, Emma, who has joined the Olympians. And Nikki knows Emma would be more than happy if Anderson and his people embroil themselves in an all-out war against the Olympians—a war they cannot hope to win.
As Nikki tries to figure out who the true enemy is, she deals with her tumultuous relationship with Jamaal, who struggles to control his death magic. But being loved by a descendant of a death goddess is the least of Nikki's worries….
For Immortal Huntress and cunning P.I. Nikki Glass, vengeance trumps all in the newest novel in Jenna Black's addictive series. Nikki Glass, descendant of Artemis the Huntress, is all for justice, but she draws the line at cold-blooded murder. Too bad she works for Anderson Kane, a god in disguise who just happens to be the son of a Fury. He wants Konstantin, the deposed leader of the Olympians, dead, and he needs Nikki's help to hunt his nemesis down. Saying no to a god might be bad for her health, but Nikki is no pushover . . . until Konstantin claims responsibility for a fire that destroys her parents' home. Nikki would do anything to protect her family, and now she sets off on the deadliest of hunts, knowing that a single false step could trigger a war between Anderson and the Olympians—a war Anderson cannot hope to win. But is it possible she has another enemy? Maybe even one in her own house? As the mysteries deepen and the suspects mount, Nikki must try to put the pieces together and catch the real culprit before innocent people get caught in the cross fire.

Texans could be fined over prohibited offseason drill
Texans could be fined over illegal offseason drill
Injured offensive linemen have grievances pending against team
By John McClain | February 5, 2009
Photo By Brett Coomer/ChronicleFour offensive linemen have said the Texans conducted live blocking drills with nothing but helmets for protection.
If the Texans are found to have violated the NFL's offseason workout policy, they will lose one week of their organized team activities, and coach Gary Kubiak could be fined.
If a league investigation finds more than one violation during the league year, the Texans could be fined a fourth-round draft choice, according to the collective bargaining agreement.
A story posted on ESPN.com today says the Texans conducted illegal contact drills during their May minicamp and that three offensive linemen – guard Dan Stevenson (shoulder), tackle Jordan Black (shoulder) and center Chukky Okobi (triceps) – suffered season-ending injuries.
Black and Stevenson have filed grievances. Black was waived. Stevenson spent the season on injured reserve. Black, who missed last season after undergoing surgery, signed with Jacksonville.
ESPN.com said Stevenson intends to sue the Texans.
"Per club policy, we are unable to comment as these matters are in arbitration," Texans vice president of communications Tony Wyllie said.
One-on-one drills involving offensive and defensive linemen are prohibited by the CBA. One reason is because the players don't wear pads during OTAs. The players suffered the injuries doing the drills with the defensive linemen, according to ESPN.com.
"There are pending CBA grievances that have been filed on this matter," NFL senior vice president of public relations Greg Aiello said.
The story says the Texans' player representatives – Kris Brown and Mark Bruener – reminded Kubiak that the drills were illegal, but they continued.
When contacted today, Brown declined to comment and deferred to the NFLPA. Calls to the union were not returned.
Story first posted at 12:15 p.m.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Using a cheese planer or a sharp knife, cut 4 thin slices (4- by 2-inch) from Gruyère.
Cook bacon in a ovenproof 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, turning once, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes total, and transfer to a plate. (Do not clean skillet.)
Pat veal dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat butter in skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté tournedos until browned, about 4 minutes total. (Veal will be only partially cooked.)
Remove skillet from heat and put a slice of bacon, then cheese and crème fraîche, on each tournedos. Roast in middle of oven, uncovered, until cheese begins to melt, 8 to 10 minutes. (Veal should be slightly pink inside.)
Transfer tournedos to plates. Whisk pan juices until blended, season with salt and pepper, then divide among plates.
