The Situation Reveals He's Cooking Valentine's Day Dinner For WHO? The Answer May Surprise You!
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino isn't known for staying in relationships for long, but we were still surprised to find out how he's spending Valentine's Day.
The sexy guido is single and ready to mingle (bye, Paula!) but he's still cooking up a storm on Cupid's favorite day. But who is the lucky lady?
Yesterday, he tweeted:
Gunna make the fam valentines day dinner tomorrow... what should I make?— Michael Sorrentino (@ItsTheSituation) February 13, 2013
Yep — it's his family, not a lovely lady friend! While it's cute that he's a family man, he doesn't seem entirely happy about his plans. Today, he wrote, "Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope it's a good one..." with no smiley faces or happiness to be seen. We hope that he's not too down in the dumps tonight.
Are you surprised that Mike and Paula didn't reunite and that he's dateless on Valentine's Day? Sound off below.

Bad deal for that Mena guy. Cat's article said he was scheduled to be on the next TUF Brazil. Now he is in critical condition and no longer apart of his team. Hopefully he gets better and at 22 years of age decides to make better choices.

Bad deal for that Mena guy. Cat's article said he was scheduled to be on the next TUF Brazil. Now he is in critical condition and no longer apart of his team. Hopefully he gets better and at 22 years of age decides to make better choices.
White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "All you can do is just hope Kaue Mena's health continues to improve. But I have to be honest and tell you it really bugs me that it's being reported that Maiquel Falcao is a UFC fighter. We let him go back in 2011 for the same reason. We found out he had a charge on his record for hitting a woman, and we cut him because of that."
"We don't want anything to do with men who punch women," White said. "When the UFC found out Maiquel had a charge against him that involved women, we immediately cut him from the roster. Bellator/Viacom MMA then picked him up a few months later, and he's been fighting for them ever since.
"The UFC does not and will not ever tolerate situations like this. Sexual assault, hitting a woman or anything like that, you're gone from the roster. It doesn't matter if you're a winner or a champion or anything like that. You're gone. Keep your hands off women."
Not sure why Mena was kicked off the team? Wasn't he just an innocent party?
The attitudes displayed by Maiquel Falcao and Kaue Mena were not consistent with what is preached and practiced by me to my students, not what is expected by our sponsors and business partners.
this is all from Portal Vale Tudo, but cagepotato has a solid translation of it that would be too tedious to repilicate.Quote:
I, Marcelo Brigadeiro, in my role as leader of team Company Fight/RFT through this letter voice my official stance regarding the regrettable fight episode involving the athletes Maiquel Falcao and Kaue Mena.
Initially I'd like to make it clear that as far as my interpretation of the facts, I don't believe any of the involved are innocent, all were wrong, in greater or lesser proportions. The actions of Maiquel Falcao which triggered all that occurred, despite it not being an aggression as many have characterized it, was disrespectful and not compatible with the behavior of an athlete. The reaction of the aggressors was in turn exaggerated, cowardly and criminal. Kaue Mena himself, who remains in a coma in the ICU at Hospital do Coracao (Coração) in Balneario Camboriu (Balneário Camboriú), also carries with him part of the guilt of what occurred; as a professional MMA athlete, he should not be on the streets at the hour of the event.
I also make it clear that the attitude of these two athletes does not reflect on the behavior of our entire team. We are known as one of the most successful teams in the world and also as a true family of athletes, good men of character, of exemplary behavior, as should be expected from true practitioners of martial arts. The attitudes of Maiquel Falcao and Kaue Mena do not meet what is taught by myself and practiced by my students, nor is it what's expected by our sponsors and commercial partners.
I know that as professionals and practitioners of martial arts we should not and cannot be associated with night life, fights, altercations and the consumption of alcohol. We have the obligation to serve as an example to society and above all to children who see us as heroes.
Whoever knows me knows the immense love that I feel for my work and for my students, whom I treat as sons, including Maiquel Falcao and Kaue Mena. However, as master or 'father', as they call me, I must not and cannot close my eyes to the flaws of my 'boys'. Due to the aforementioned, it is with a broken heart and great sadness that I officially announce that Maiquel Falcao and Kaue Mena no longer are a part of team Company Fight/RFT. ?
Lastly, I hope that this tragedy serves as a lesson to all of us. May we be aware how much a simple and unfortunate action can affect our lives in negative and permanent ways. May those who are starting in this profession understand that choosing to be an athlete is not the selection of a job, but that of a philosophy of life that requires self-sacrifice, discipline and obedience.
It looks at though Brigadeiro is very focused on keeping discipline a cornerstone of his gym, and should be blessed for that.
It's unfortunate that Mena is in the condition that he's in, but he made the decisions that led to it. It's disappointing to see some of the incredibly short-sighted perspectives on the situation stated in this thread.
If you can seriously sit here and say that someone, anyone, deserves to be beaten so severely even after they're already unconscious than you're a bad person. If you want to man up and defend your woman, great, but what I saw there was a fucking mugging. There was no reason for it to go that far.
This whats wrong with people today.
No wonder aliens dont talk to our monkey asses. We all fucken crazy!
While I believe falcao dserved to lose a tooth or two for being a asshole , the beating that was dealt out was far too severe and partially if not entirely misdirected to Falcao's buddy.
Lesson I glean from this is Don't start shit , won't be shit and if you roll with pigs you are bound to get dirty as well.
It's one thing to defend your girl from a jerk, what those guys did is on a whole different level. They reacted how one should if they were in mortal danger. Which they weren't. Sure falcao is a d-bag... But only 25% of that beating was deserved. His partner didn't deserve any of it and was just with the wrong asshole at the wrong time.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian media said that hundreds of people were evacuated after a train carrying chemicals derailed and caught fire in northern Belgium.
Amateur video showed the train ablaze in the early hours of Saturday; in daylight, the train cars could be seen forming a zig-zag over the track.
Media, citing a statement from the East Flanders government, said that authorities were investigating if a death of someone in the area of the derailment was linked to the accident. The statement said 17 people were injured.
The fire was extinguished Saturday evening, the reports said. Houses within 500 meters of the train were evacuated – and residents were asked to stay away even after the fire went out. Others farther away were asked to stay at home and close their windows.

Academic Program - Medical Transcription Letter of Recognition
Mission Statement
The Office Technology curriculum prepares students for administrative careers in industry, government, medicine, and law. Each program seeks to provide students not only with technical skills, but also with the necessary analytical and conceptual skills to perform successfully in the modern office environment.
Transcription is the process of converting the spoken word to a written, digital format. Transcription is used extensively in the medical community. Many doctors and medical professionals make oral notations about patients, and depend upon medical transcriptionists to convert these oral notes into a format which may be included in the patient file. Medical transcription is a skill that is useful, if not essential, for medical office personnel. Many hospitals and institutional settings employ full-time transcriptionists to assist the maintenance of an accurate medical record. Additionally, medical transcription has been identified as a viable opportunity for a home based business. The Letter of Recognition program assists students in developing technology skills required for success in this field.
Program Goals
- Goal 1: To understand and utilize specialized medical vocabulary in the preparation of medical documents.
- Goal 2: To utilize transcription equipment and software to produce medical documents.
- Goal 3: To utilize proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, editing and proofreading skills in the production of transcribed medical documents.

Retirement Guys: Living Life To the FullestWritten by Nolan Baker Mark Clair | | email@example.com
Live it up!!
Get out there and do it. If you believe in God, I (Mark) don't think he intended us to sit around and mope and never do anything fun. I think he created this world partly for our enjoyment. Whether you believe in creation or not, it's a big world out there with many amazing things to see and experience. So get moving.
A couple unexpected deaths in the family have caused several of us to reevaluate how we are living our lives and how we are spending our time. Our cousin Ron lost his father at a very young age and my wife Lisa lost her mother very unexpectedly. We have come to the realization that time goes by quick. No one is promised tomorrow. I am sure that if you are over 50 you will agree with this. Cousin Ron said, "Darn it, we're going to start experiencing life. We're going to start doing things now rather than wait until later." This statement resulted in Ron and his wife Kathy, Patti (Ron's sister) and her husband Mickey, deciding to go on an Alaskan cruise in 2011 to celebrate Patti and Mickey's 25th anniversary. We got invited to join them and jumped at the chance. It was a great time. There were many highlights with one of them being a helicopter ride out to a glacier and walking around with our hands lifted in the air in triumph like we had reached the summit. We made it, Ma! As a result of the trip we all bonded and decided to get together every couple years for an adventure. We kind of feel like our own little Rat Pack (don't know if I am Dean Martin or Joey Bishop).
Time To Live It Up Again
Guess what? It is now Ron and Kathy's 25th anniversary. Ron and Kathy are headed to Norway to explore the Torp family roots. Yep, we got invited to go along. Lisa is a Torp on her mom's side, so it will be a time to explore where the family originated. We will be taking a Norwegian Fjords Cruise that starts out in London England. Cousin Ron is a good guy to know because not only is he a great guy, but he is a guy that always has "got a guy." If we ask him whom he might know for helping with a particular task or problem he always says, "I got a guy." Well, amazingly, but not surprisingly, Ron has "got a guy" in London. His guy is a detective for none other than Scotland Yard! His "guy" has us set up with a guided tour of the Palace of Westminster (Parliament) and a guided tour of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Pretty cool. Who knows, maybe we can catch a little bit of Wimbledon.
You Can Live It Up, Too
With a little planning, you can do some fun things, too. Part of The Retirement Guys philosophy is to encourage those we work with to figure out what their bucket list experiences are and to actually stop procrastinating and go and live them out. It is all part of a thing we call The Retirement Game Plan which evaluates several areas of retirement and pre-retirement planning. Making sure we are taking steps to manage your money, protecting your assets and efficiently planning your estate. Part of the money management is making sure we have enough to live out the rest of our lives and understanding what things will cost and how much we will need. My partner Nolan Baker is great at helping position dollars to generate income, have money for emergencies, and yes, have money to go on some trips, etc. Recently a client came into the office talking about how they like to travel. Nolan asked if they would like to set up a plan that would generate money every year for the next 20 years to go on a trip. The client said, "You can do that?" In many cases it is a matter of planning.
Get The Game Plan and Some Travel Tips
The Retirement Guys are such believers in helping our clients enjoy life, we recently brought in expert Rebecca Monroe from Avoya Travel for a travel workshop. The meeting was completely full and Rebecca presented 10 Travel Tips that were greatly received and appreciated by those in attendance. I learned how to be prepared for out of country credit card fees and discovered I was going to pay a 2.8% fee if I was not careful.

Consumers can get free help with tax issues at the Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic, a resource offered by AppalReD Legal Aid. Attorneys at the clinic work with taxpayers on a number of issues, including procuring levy releases, seeking innocent spouse relief, filing amended returns, and negotiating with the IRS. Clinic attorneys also help taxpayers deal with IRS audits or exams, appeal Earned Income Tax Credit turndowns, and combat return prep fraud.
Clinic attorneys provide expertise and advocacy for low-income taxpayers. For example, the clinic recently successfully established that a client was not responsible for $10,000 in tax debt that was improperly imposed on him due to identity theft. In another situation, the clinic assisted a taxpayer in proving to the IRS that an adoption tax credit had been improperly denied, resulting in a $13,170 refund to the taxpayer.
"We encourage all taxpayers receiving notices from the IRS or those who feel they have been improperly denied their refund to contact our office," said Clinic Director Rachel Fortner. "There are no stupid questions when it comes to taxes, and it is okay for taxpayers to call even if they are just in need in advice."
Taxpayers who have questions about tax issues should call the clinic at 1-800-477-1394. Taxpayers can also email Clinic Director Rachel Fortner directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. Although clinic personnel do not prepare tax returns, they can refer consumers to locations that will prepare returns for free.

I dropped so many times my Iphone 4, and so many times thought "this time it MUST be broken", but it survived... that I really think "luck" plays a great role on that. Depends too much how you drop it, probably the back glass of ip4 can break, but my survived really "ugly" and "loud" drops withouth any noticiable scratch.
The iPhone 5 can really take a fall
No sooner had people got their hands on the iPhone 5 did they gleefully chuck it to the ground to see how well it could take a drop. Two impact tests are already showing that the iPhone 5 is a tough little cookie, thanks in no small part by the lack of a glass rear like that on the iPhone 4 and 4S. One test puts the iPhone 5 against Samsung Galaxy S 3, while the other shows the front face of the latest iOS device can handle scratches just as well as drops. It's worth noting that other reports suggest the rear backing is prone to wear and scratching, however. It looks like the only real way to shatter the front glass is by purposefully spiking the iPhone 5 on the ground, though I'm sure it depends entirely on what kind of ground your dealing with and the point of impact.
Gaze ye upon the wanton destruction of finely-crafted gadgetry, and cringe.
Have you ever seriously busted up your iPhone from a drop? How satisfied have you been with iPhone build quality up until now?

The iPhone 5 can really take a fall
I have owned every iPhone (no 5 yet) and I have dropped them all many times. The first time I dropped the iPhone 4, it was simply because it slipped right out of my hand. Having never used a cover for any phone, I then snapped on my free bumper case. I agree with ChristianTM above, the 4/4S CAN survive a pretty good fall, but the glass back and metal design makes it slippery and terrifying for clumsy people like me. Hoping the 5 will be better in that respect!
But will it blend?
Every drop is like a stab to my chest! But I was pretty impressed with the second video. Even after he dropped it by kind of throwing it down, It didn't shatter across the whole screen. I've dropped my iPhone 4 so many times. It's still in near mint condition. Thanks to my speck case. I'm always scared to pick it up and check after it's face down on the floor, but it's always survived. If the iPhone 5 is even the same / more resilient than the 4 I am going to be very happy.
Ack!!! Dont' drop em!!! Why ruin a perfectly good iPhone 5??!! Send it to me instead if you don't really want it!! =P
My i4 survived a cycle crash that nearly killed me....Just before surgery I used it to call work. The fireman were nice enough to return it to me when I was loaded on the ambulance, It was in a Speck case and holster.
I wasn't even surprised when I was shingling my roof last fall and bounced it off from 2 stories up, no damage(Landed in the grass). Plus at least 12 drops over 2 years. May not have survived if not for the thin Speck case...one of the freebies fron Antenna gate. :)
I've dropped my 4S once. I dropped it from approximately 20-30 centimeters, and it was damaged on the white border on the edges of the glass. I have been threating the phone like it was my own child, so I have only gotten that one crack. Otherwise, the screen and back is completely crack and scratch free.
As I mentioned, I have been threating it carefully. I am going to buy the iPhone 5, and I can already tell that I don't have to be that careful with it. It even takes less damage than the Galaxy S3!
I left my 4s on my car roof after changing a flat tire with it (led at night) launch day... Heard it fly off and saw it bounce off the road in my rearview... It was in a case I got for 2$ shipped from eBay, while the case completely disintegrated, the phone survived. I got some chips in the edge of the glass but other than that it's been fine. My 5 is due next week.
What the f^&k is the matter with you people??!?! LOL I refuse to drop my phone! Hell,I won't even hand it to people until they securely grasp it, then I'll finally release my grip. These are amazing electronic devices people, treat them as such.I recieved my 4S on release day. Now that I have the 5, my wife is getting a "out of the box perfect" 4S to use. :)
Anodized aluminum on the back does not fare so well under scratch tests though... It seems the 4/4S does better.
Although I am extremely careful with my phone, it's reassuring to see what type of durability the 5 has!
I received my 4S two weeks after launch and I never put any case or protective skin on it. My 5 arrived yesterday and I plan on keeping it "naked" as well (I did purchase applecare+ this time though). My wife is getting my 4S and its just like it was the day it came out of the box ( I actually cleaned it off and gave it to her in the original box so she didn't feel as bad about getting a "used" phone)
I have a sad 3GS which is 5 years old. I am clumsy so I have dropped it many times. I would say its survived about 50 (no joke) with not a problem. However the most recent drop cracked a small part of the screen and now the screen is stuffed, constantly freezing meaning I have to lock and then unlock my phone to get my screen to work again. However, the build of the iPhone 5 seems amazing, so I'll be relieved when my new iPhone comes soon.
I actually did break mine. I was juggling too many things in one hand and it fell out and landed flat on its back. The screen shattered like nothing I've ever seen before. Ironically, when I got home, my new case was sitting in a pretty little box from amazon on my doorstep. On the bright side though, and a total lifesaver, I had just bought AppleCare that morning. :)
My 2 weeks old iPhone 5 slipped my hand while I was sitting, it fell almost 1 feet flat face down to the ground, cracked immediately! Still working, only the fragile thin glass layer has cracked horribly! I live in the UAE, there's no insurance for iPhone here, I went to a repair center and they said Apple does not provide replacement for the LCD, they only provide a refurbished replacement and I must pay another $350!!
iPhone 5 set is as strong as the weakest part of it is, the front and back thin fragile glass layer. That's how much the iPhone 5 is well-built or dare I say, ill-built!
And NO, cracked screen IS NOT a cool thing.
Apple is showing many traits of failure to come, hope someone does something before it's too late.

Comments about XRP 18V Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit:
Bought this to add an impact driver and new batteries to my Old Faithful DeWalt combo kit. The impact driver is awesome! It seems to run forever. I was pleasantly surprised that the drill is such a heavy duty unit. It is much sturdier than the standard drill in some of the DeWalt kits (including my old one). I have always expected the lighter duty unit to fail because the plastic gear housing flexes so much under load. This unit has a metal housing that feels much stronger.
The batteries are heavy and while better than the old standard NiCads and hold a charge well, they are not as good as modern Lion batteries. But they do fit all the old style DeWalt tools that in my case have a lot of life left in them especially since I am not using them every day anymore (former pro). An added bonus was that the charger is also much better and brought my old batteries back to life a bit more.
If you do not already own an older kit with multiple tools, I would highly recommend paying up for a modern lithium ion set. But, for a lower cost alternative, these tools are high quality, commercial grade tools at economy prices.
I did have an issue with the impact driver. It quit within a week. CPO was great about the return. They emailed a slip, I dropped the set off at FedEx and they sent out a replacement the same day. I can't speak highly enough about their customer service. And the replacement is running perfectly.

Language and land are intricately connected. Indeed, languages and dialects tend to get their names from the regions where they are spoken. What happens, then, when a people has no land of its own? For most of Jewish history, this was the linguistic situation of the Jews. Aside for a few hundred years during the first and second millennium B.C.E. and the past half-century in modern Israel, Jews have not had a homeland, and thus instead of speaking a single language, they have spoken many.
Hebrew is the language of the Bible and of traditional Jewish liturgy. As such, it is integrally connected with the Jewish religion. The rabbis attributed theological significance to the Hebrew language. Rabbinic literature refers to Hebrew as lashon ha-kodesh, the holy language. In addition, Hebrew was thought to be the language of God and the angels, as well as the original language of all humanity.
It is unclear when the Israelites began using Hebrew, but the earliest Hebrew texts date from the end of the second millennium B.C.E. However, Hebrew's primacy as a spoken language began to diminish following the destruction of the First Temple in 587 B.C.E. and the exile that followed.
In the Middle Ages, Hebrew was used primarily for ritual and religious purposes. During the Jewish Enlightenment of the 18th and 19th centuries, however, Jews adopted Hebrew as a secular language. Hebrew newspapers and novels began to emerge, and a number of scholars took up the task of transforming Hebrew into a modern spoken tongue. With the rise of Zionism this endeavor gained political and practical relevance. Today Modern Hebrew is the official language of the State of Israel.
Other Jewish Languages
Interestingly, the–arguably–second most important Jewish language wasn't Jewish at all. Aramaic, the language of the biblical Book of Daniel, the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds, and the mystical masterpiece the Zohar was actually spoken by Semitic people throughout the ancient Near East. Nonetheless, as the language spoken by most Jews during the influential rabbinic period (the several centuries following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 C.E.), it became an essential component of future forms of Hebrew, as well as other Jewish languages.

This is at a time when states are cutting funding for education causing teacher layoffs, program cuts and an ever increasing sense of unease among parents of school-age children. Technical schools are seeing their enrollments rise as many recognize that their former occupation either no longer exists or exist at a markedly lower pay scale.

Glee Season 4, Episode 7's Best and Worst Song Performances — Do You Agree?
Glee manages to pack an insane number of songs into each episode, which means there will always be a few standouts, along with the inevitable dud or two. We've narrowed the performances from Season 4, Episode 7: "Dynamic Duets," down to the very best and the coulda-done-without. Do you agree with our picks?
Best Performance of the Night: "Some Nights" by New Directions
It's tough not choosing Blam/Slaine's "Heroes," since those guys were adorable this week. But "Some Nights" is basically what the show is all about, and it might just be one of our favorite group numbers of all time. The song gives just about everyone time in the spotlight, as Marley (Melissa Benoist), Ryder (Blake Jenner), and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) all knock it out of the park. Some nights we call it a draw — but not on this night.
Worst Performance of the Night: "Superman" by Jake and Ryder
We hope Jake (Jacob Artist) doesn't punch us for choosing this song as the worst. We're never ones to complain about seeing these two cuties in suits, let alone that the harmonies in "Superman" were quite heroic. But this song just didn't quite stand out like the others did. Still, we certainly didn't hate this song as much as Kitty (Becca Tobin) did — although she pretty much hates everything.
No, I would have chosen differently.
I agree completely!

Your SelectionClear All
first of all, this "jacket" looks very sharp and expensive. It also has those little holes for the thumbs to keep it rolling up. People will look! Although they have a front pocket to stash your iPod/phone in it, there is no hole for the wire - WHOOPS! I bought it one size smaller (I usually wear XL but i bought L) and it fits PERFECT. It is not for "heavy" cold or snow, but for the mild cold we have in Greece its perfect. ... read more
I tried on boosts at a store and i was hooked! Saw a nice deal on the lakeshores at Adidas.com and bought them right away. These are sooooooo soft Recommend going up half a size. I wear size 9.5 Rose 4 basketball shoes but I needed to buy a 10 on these. ... read more
Comes up slightly tight on me (when compared to shirts of the same size) but that's given that the top is intended for training. It looks great in black and has a bright contrast seam on the inside. Hand pockets don't zip. Zips are the stiff waterproof style ones, so not easy to open on the run (if you do that sort of thing). ... read more
The daybreaker is great for winter as its nice and lightweight and it keeps me really warm. With three pockets there is plenty of storage and I love the fit design of the hood. I wear the daybreaker to and from training and have found it holds up pretty well in the rain too. I normally wear a medium however i found the medium to be quite short around the waist and so i went for the large. ... read more
These are by far the best casual winter boots I've ever worn. Premium materials like the all leather uppers gives these boost a true to size, custom fit, right out of the box. The boost is so comfortable I had trouble going back to my regular shoes for work. 8 hours on your feet everyday is a very good test for shoes. So I bought a couple more. D Rose best shoe is a casual full boost boot named the Lakeshore Boost. No one even knows about them,but I get complements on them all the time. You won't regret putting these on your feet. ... read more
I ordered this during a huge sale, as a backup hoody. My other hoody is a generic but comfortable fleece from Kohls, that I know I paid less for. The Adidas one is just as comfortable, and the fit is great for my 6ft 170lb frame (I ordered a medium). It's a tad long, but I like that because it keeps it from riding. Anyway I've had it for a few weeks now, and it's been through the wash once and worn nearly daily. The material isn't very thick and the weave isn't tight because the fabric started pilling after 1 wash. Remember the hoody I mentioned earlier? It's also a fleece made from 100% polyester, and it looks nearly new despite missing it's drawstring. It's been in the wash a bazillion times. And as for the warmth? It's definitely a lighter weight jacket like some others have mentioned. Anyway this is just a cool looking hoody but definitely not the ultimate. If you want it to look great for a long time my advice is- don't wear it much. ... read more
This jacket is my favorite purchase in a long time. I loved it so much that I got two, in different colors. The only reason that I've knocked a star off is that you really have to try these jackets on first if possible. One of the jackets that I have fits perfectly, with a little room, while the other is super tight. I double checked to make sure that I got the same size in both, and I did, but they're obviously all cut a little different. ... read more
As with all Climawarm product, this hoodie offers a great deal of warmth with very little bulk. This piece is very tightly woven, so it's quite wind resistant, while the brushed interior is really comfy. The smooth fabric along with a "snugger than usual fit" make this a versatile piece, and one that's particularly suited to layering. Note: just about any XXL top in the Adidas world fits me just fine (I'm 6'2", 230), but this is a slim fit item. Body and sleeve lengths are fine ,but it clings. ... read more
Boost technology has got to be the most comortable sole I have ever experienced hands down. The shoe itself is very stylish but the leather is not very appealing . I would maybe prefer a smooth leather. I returned the shoe because the leather did not hold up well. The shoe started to look worn in less than a week. I love the style but not the material. The boost is phenomenal though. ... read more
I bought this hoodie mainly for working out and running which is why I like the fact that's its a little loose, giving me that freedom in mobility. Even though I use it to workout, I also wear it just as an everyday hoodie and it also looks great. Love the colors! ... read more
They are holding up well. I like the hard waterproof material. Easy to maintain. Caused lower leg pain, but took pressure off of knees. Painful to wear after three hours, but good for light use probably shopping, visiting people, or touring. Wouldn't buy a replacement. Wouldn't recommend because they are not easy to clean, after they get dirty. They are hard to get dirty, but they wear out too fast with the lightest of use. They felt best when I bought them almost thirty days ago. Now they feel like the boost is working against me. Wouldn't think of playing basketball in them. I can hardly run in them. Jumping is incredibly difficult but landing feels better than most shoes. I foresee improvement, and I just purchased glow in the dark D Rose Boost 5, so adidas has a passionate customer. I just hope the kinks are worked out of all the boost shoes. ... read more
Great tech hoodie for runs and just wearing around casually as a stand alone piece early mornings or at night during fall/spring. Thumbholes are sometimes a bit of a nuissance but otherwise the hoddie fits great and washes easily. The midnight colour definitely stands out! Fit is true to size. ... read more
Read the reviews on this shoe and talked to the online assistant, and totally glad I did. These shoes run 1/2 size small like many other reviewers stated so instead of 11's I got 11 1/2 and they fit perfectly. Toe is fine, width is fine. No real break in needed, I seriously cant wait to wear them again. It almost feels weir, they are so comfortable!!! ... read more
Solid white bottom with a full black leather upper makes these shoes super stylish with jeans and any shirt. The comfort is like walking on pillows or clouds and the build and materials are all top notch... Best purchase I've ever made!!!! Fly kicks for those that know how to rock'em! ... read more
Great comfortable shoe. Just a little narrow for my feet. Boost technology is what makes it this shoe stick out. If you have wide feet you might want to go a half a size up but after breaking it in and using slimmer socks it felt good. Overall its a great a shoe and it looks cool. ... read more

Money Smart - A Financial Education Program
Financial Education.....A Corporate Commitment
Money Smart is a comprehensive financial education curriculum designed to help low- and moderate-income individuals outside the financial mainstream enhance their financial skills and create positive banking relationships. Money Smart has reached over 2.75 million consumers since 2001. Research shows that the curriculum can positively influence how consumers manage their finances, and these changes are sustainable in the months after the training.
Financial education fosters financial stability for individuals, families, and entire communities. The more people know about credit and banking services, the more likely they are to increase savings, buy homes, and improve their financial health and well-being.
The Money Smart curriculum for consumers is available free of charge in four versions:
- An instructor-led curriculum for adults on CD-ROM available in nine languages and print versions for the visually impaired (learn more)
- An instructor-led curriculum for young adults between the ages of 12-20 on CD-ROM, Money Smart for Young Adults (learn more)
- A self-paced Computer-Based Instruction (CBI) format online for ages 13 and over in English and Spanish (learn more)
- A portable audio (MP3) version, Money Smart Podcast Network (learn more)
FDIC, in collaboration with CFPB, offers a stand-alone instructor-led module targeting the needs of older adults (age 62 and older). Money Smart for Older Adults is available for download free of charge.
Also, the FDIC in collaboration with SBA, offers an instructor-led curriculum focusing on the needs of new or existing entrepreneurs. Money Smart for a Small Business, is available on CD-ROM free of charge instructor-led curriculum.
The Money Smart program may be used by financial institutions and other organizations interested in sponsoring financial education workshops. Collaboration is important to the success of any education effort. The FDIC encourages banks to work with others in their communities to deliver financial education and appropriate financial services, including to individuals who may not have a relationship with an insured depository institution.
The Money Smart program can help banks fulfill part of their Community Reinvestment Act obligations. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) encourages federally insured banks and thrifts to help meet the credit needs of their entire community, including areas of low-and moderate-income. When a bank's CRA performance is reviewed, the institution's efforts to provide financial education and other retail services are a positive consideration.

If this is true, bellator is really fucked now. They barely sold any tickets before, even less should sell now.
If this is true, bellator is really fucked now. They barely sold any tickets before, even less should sell now.
Tito Ortiz suffered a neck injury in training which will keep him out of next weekend's fight against Quinton Jackson, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Mo/Rampage would probably be a better fight IMO. Wouldn't be shocked if either Shamrock gets a call either if they're in a bind.
Tito was really fucking banged up going into this fight, so this was kinda expected.
Mo and Page are friends now so I doubt that would happen plus I'm sure he wants to avenge his loss.
Chandler v Alvarez deserved to be the main event anyways, so I guess now they've got their chance to shine.
ppv is off. they're doing the whole event on spike
With ticket sales so low and the shitty buyrate they'd be pulling in from the PPV, I just wonder if Tito's injury could be in some part more of a work and used as an excuse to kill a money losing PPV??? He was on OTR yesterday hyping the fight and the PPV, just seems a little odd, but again, Tito shouldn't be fighting right now anyways, so its not a shock, but maybe something to think about.....
And hey, for once Josh Barnett isn't responsible for killing a PPV lol.
That's a good call.
I think they're lucky to have a network to fall back on. Putting everything into a single event can be the death of you.....
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars

My bp is controlled- 120/83 today- which is what he would be most concerned with. So I guess we're officially ttc.
Hubs and I made the deal that I will continue to exercise and eat well until the + and I will take it easy afterwards. It feels good to know we're moving forward, but part of me still wonders if I should be lighter.

Mrieh i feel the same way. But there is absoutely nothing wrong with us. This can happen to anyone.
Thank you ladies for your kind words,
longer. I will feel what I want to feel and not feel bad about telling others exactly how I feel. My due date is nov. 22nd. And iam going to california to get away. I feel better today, because I have accepted the fact that I lost my baby to pe. I did not lose her bc the universe does not want me to have a baby. The fact is that its just harder for some to have a baby. There is nothing wrong with me. I just have to go through more than others to have my baby. These are the cards that are dealt to me, and I have to accept it without looking for some deep meaning behind it. I have to believe that something better is waiting for me. Its that hope that gets me through the next day.

Tractor crash critically injures Bennington manJuly 18,2013Tractor crash sends man to Albany
BENNINGTON A local 84-year-old man was critically injured in a crash on Carpenter Hill Road about 5:40 p.m. Tuesday, according to Lt. Lloyd Dean of the Bennington Police Department.
Felix R. Lecours, 84, of Bennington, was driving a Ford F250 pickup truck that crashed into a tractor, police said.
Lecours was not wearing a seat belt and needed to be extricated from the truck with the jaws-of-life extrication tools. He was taken to the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington and then flown to the Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center with critical, life threatening injuries, Dean said.
After a preliminary investigation, police believe Lecours was driving north on Carpenter Hill Road from Pownal into Bennington.
As he approached the first 90 degree curve in the road he continued to drive straight with the left front of his truck hitting a Kobota farm tractor, driven by Lewis Garnett, 51 of Bennington
Garnett was driving the tractor south on Carpenter Hill, pulling a trailer of dirt. Andrew Martin, 57, was a passenger on the trailer.
On impact, the pick-up truck was flipped onto the passenger side and slid to a stop. The left rear tire was torn away from the tractor,
Dean said Garnett and Martin both suffered injuries but the injuries were not considered life-threatening. Both were taken to SVMC for treatment.
Garnett, who was wearing his seat belt, was taken to the hospital by the Bennington Rescue Squad while Martin, who was thrown from the dirt trailer, was taken to the hospital by his employer.
Response at the scene was hampered by an excessive amount of oil leaked onto the pavement from both vehicles, Dean said.
The crash is being investigated by Officer Roscoe Harrington, of the Bennington Police Department. Members of the Bennington Rural Fire Department also responded to the scene.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...
