Members of the "Ducky 56ers Collectors Club" are busy even at this time of year. These pictures show club members at work during the construction of Halloween displays at the Ronald McDonald House near Loyola University, in a Chicago suburb. The club is based in Darien, IL has about 100 active members and meet once per month, Sept. thru May.
"For nearly 10 years, we have been supporting the Ronald McDonald House near Loyola University by putting up Christmas and Halloween displays.
The displays we built for Halloween can be found in three cabinets; two in the Great Room at the House and one in the Greeting Room. The "Peanuts" display was placed on the piano. The process we used here is similar to what collectors go through; unpacking, fluffing the trees, laying out the Styrofoam, setting the buildings and accessories, and then final detailing. The pictures show many of these steps as well as the final product. In this case we had nearly 10 members scurrying about to complete the display in less than one day. It is truly a labor of love and well appreciated by those that inhabit the House," said Rich Wyllie, the current president of the "Ducky 56ers."
Anyone interested in joining the "Ducky 56ers" can contact them at their website www.ducky56ers.com.

It's hard to say which of these (non-lawyer) wedding write-ups is more cliché-ridden: the one about the two lesbian PE teachers, or the one about the peace activists who keep their income below a taxable level so they don't give money to the Pentagon. The latter pair are way too busy rummaging through dumpsters to read the Internet, so we feel zero guilt about exposing them to ridicule in the comments. There's certainly a lot of ridiculous material there.
But on to the lawyer weddings: still ridiculous, but in a different way. Your finalist couples:
Kathleen Cassidy and Ian Shapiro
Emily Feinstein and Eric Olney
Aliya McLendon and Aaron Horne Jr.
This is a summer mega-LEWW, with five finalists and a loooooong list of also-rans at the end. Read on for a virtual nuptial feast….
Kathleen Cassidy and Ian Shapiro
(Buy them a gravy separator.)
The Case:
– All Ivy, peeps: Yale/Columbia for the bride; Yale/Harvard for the groom. (But we highly doubt they met at Yale. See below.)
– Kathleen is starting a new job as an associate at Hafetz Necheles & Rocco. Ian's a partner at Cooley.
The Case Against:
– Until recently, Kathleen was an associate at Cooley. Partner, associate, nine-year age difference: We're imagining a deliciously sordid backstory for this naughty pair. And actually, that's not a strike against them at all!
Nina Yadava and Travis Davis
(Buy them a printer.)
The Case:
– This two-JD couple met during law school at Columbia. For undergrad, she was cum laude at Tufts; he graduated from the University of Washington.
– She's at Jones Day doing securities litigation. He does corporate work at Gibson Dunn.
The Case Against:
– Gibson's website continues to look like it was designed in 1752 by Benjamin Franklin.
Emily Feinstein and Eric Olney
(Buy them a seder plate.)
The Case:
– Good grief, more Columbia Law. That's where the groom, a cum laude Harvard graduate, received his JD. The bride is Brown/NYU.
– Emily works as an associate director at Columbia's Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse.; Eric is an associate at Macht, Shapiro, Arato & Isserles — and looks way hotter on his firm bio. You should never, ever take those glasses off, Eric!
The Case Against:
– It's ironic that the bride works on drug policy, because in this particular picture, she sorta looks like a heroin addict. (Much better photos — she's actually quite attractive — appear here.)
Aliya McLendon and Aaron Horne Jr.
(Buy them a flour sifter.)
The Case:
– And . . . more Columbia Law. The couple met at an event there; the bride is an alumna. She also has an undergraduate degree and an MBA from Florida A&M University. She's now an associate at Akin Gump.
– The groom is an honors graduate of the University of Chicago, from which he also received a medical degree and an MBA. He's now a clinical fellow in the cardiology department at Johns Hopkins and is studying for a master's in health economics there.
The Case Against:
– Their first date was over Salisbury steak in a hospital cafeteria. Click here to read about the USDA standards for Salisbury steak, which is only required to contain 65% meat.
Rebecca Krauss and Benjamin Taibleson
(Buy them a Kohl's gift card.)
The Case:
– No Columbia here: These two are both YLS grads (although the bride was a transfer — or a "tranny," as we used to call them). She was magna at Yale for undergrad, and he graduated with distinction from the University of Wisconsin.
– Ben, a former EIC of the Yale Law Journal, is currently clerking for D.C. Circuit Judge Merrick Garland. But Becca has one-upped him. She's just finished clerking for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, also on the D.C. Circuit, and is now working for none other than Justice Antonin Scalia. Swoon!
The Case Against:
– You know what they say about Scalia clerks: "pale, male, and Harvard or Yale." Becca has the Yale and pale parts sewn up, but she almost certainly lacks a penis. Judging from her picture, she also has a bit more 'tude than the typical Scalia clerk, who generally walks around looking terrified that Nino will leap out of the shrubbery and catch him with his suit jacket unbuttoned. We predict a tempestuous, estrogen-laden year in the Scalia chambers!
The Verdict:
A Kavanaugh/Scalia clerk who's also a chick? That's rarer than an East Coast earthquake. Team Krauss-Taibleson runs away with the crown! Congratulations to them, and to all this week's contestants.

text: Apple is an attractive stock. Five million iPhones sold in its first weekend, limited only by supply constraints, is a stellar start. Whenever there is a window of opportunity to call Apple's demise, the bears will take the shot. The issues raised about the stock, as cited above, just don't make sense when looking at the data, consumer behavior or pent up demand. On the other hand, Apple has many catalysts on its runway, particularly going into the fourth quarter. See Apple: Seven Reasons iPhones and iPods Boost December Quarter – Quantified. Take advantage of headlines that may not make sense but may affect the stock to continue to build a position at attractive prices. At today's $681 price, Apple still trades at a Price to Earnings Growth ratio (Price (less cash) Earnings over Growth Rate) of less than 1.0, meaning investors can buy growth at a discount, very attractive metrics for a growth stock. And, currently, Apple still makes great products that consumers want at great margins. All that for an attractive stock price.

Space Gray iPad mini reportedly hitting store shelves now
Announced as the replacement for the black and slate iPad mini at Tuesday's event in San Francisco, the new Space Gray version is reportedly now going on sale in some Apple Retail Stores. The new color went on sale immediately after the event online, but has now a few days later reportedly started hitting physical shelves. From 9to5Mac:
Sources say that the model is now available via several Apple Stores, but not every store. Interested customers should call their store to ensure availability…
So, if you want one, it's worth a quick call first. Online sales are great, but some folks much prefer to see the color for themselves before dropping the cash. The original iPad mini has been reduced down to $299 and will be sold alongside the shiny new iPad mini with Retina Display. With the price cut and new color, anyone running out to grab one of these?

Space Gray iPad mini reportedly hitting store shelves now
getting my daughter a refurbished ipad mini for $249. She is only 13, dont think she will notice the retina display difference and I get to keep $150
I think its on the Apple website. Go to iPad in the top product bar, then click shop iPad, the refurb center should be on the right. Boom, cheap iPads.
Retina was all I was waiting on to buy a Mini. I sold my 3rd gen iPad at the start of this year and put the money away for this moment. Then the iPhone 5s came out and that all changed. Then I got a newer MacBook Pro than I had been using. So although I would certainly love to finally get a Mini it wont be happening this year :( Oh well there is always next year, I'll start saving from now lol.

What Leads to Research
Two young and awkward mid-teens were in cotillion class. What if this young couple, a rich girl and a boy whose mother works for the girl's father, develop a tender crush, only to have that crush stomped on by big daddy? And big rich daddy goes even farther by humiliating the boy, accusing him of stealing in front of the girl and all his friends. He goes so far as to have the young man arrested.
Thirteen years later, the real story begins.
That idea grew into An Indiscretion my contemporary romance with medical elements e-book for The Wild Rose Press. Since the hero and heroine, Paul Valverde and Carrington Hanover's relationship officially began while dancing, it needed to be part of the story, which meant, I'd assigned myself research.
What I Needed:
1. A dance that meant something to the hero
2. A dramatic dance with Spanish roots
3. A ballroom dance that pitted the partners against each other
4. A sexy dance
What I Found:
A gazillion videos on how to dance the Paso Doblé! Some were really hokey, some were very good. The one I've linked to breaks down the dance into count, steps, and sections and has two really good dancers showing each move.
Did You Know?
The Paso Doblé is modeled after the Spanish bullfighter and his cape? The male dancer is the bullfighter and the female takes the role of the cape, therefore, it is up to the male to take control of his partner. Though the music for this dance is a march beat, when done right it is powerful, sexy and riveting.
An Indiscretion by Lynne Marshall – Excerpt:
"Good. Pablo, take Carrington's hand." Estrella positioned Paul's hand just under Carrington's arm on her back, and Carrington's hand rested lightly on his shoulder. Then they joined opposite hands, which were held high and stately. "This is the sur point. You will begin here," Estrella said.
Wearing special dancing shoes, Carrington's forehead came to Paul's jaw. She tried to avoid his eyes by watching her feet, but Estrella snapped at her each time she looked down.
The woman led them through the basic steps and turns until they were both comfortable with the rhythm. Paul caught on much quicker.
"Good. Now with music," Estrella said.
Paul's narrow hips and tightly controlled posture looked magnificent yet graceful, and Carrington could no longer be satisfied by staring at his shoulder. She noticed the thick dark waves of his hair caressing the collar on his shirt. The heat from his body enhanced his subtle aftershave, that pine fragrance that drove her crazy with longing. With each breath she savored the scent. His warm hands, firmly in place where Estrella had put them, made her wish he would move them somewhere else, someplace closer and more intimate.
She made a ragged inhale and dared to glance into his eyes. He stared back. Determination flashed in his dark gaze. By controlling the dance, he controlled her.
And he had completely taken control.
Lynne Marshall is a multi-published author who writes contemporary and Medical Romance for Harlequin and contemporary romance for The Wild Rose Press. The first book in the Grady family trilogy, Courting His Favorite Nurse, is a March 2012 Harlequin Special Edition. Also in e-book only is, An Indiscretion, a contemporary romance with medical elements, from The Wild Rose Press.

In case you missed it, our own Robin Torres hosted a Pirates' Day event last month, during the in game holiday. The intrepid members of It came from the Blog stormed Azeroth, rocking out their very own pirate style.
One of the attendees of the event, Tirex from Andorhal, was kind enough to capture it on film. So now, it brings me great pleasure to share with you the WoW.com's Pirates Day 2009 movie. Kick back with some grog and enjoy the good vibe and great memories through your one good eye. (No doubt, the other is covered with a skull-and-crossbones eyepatch.)

Below is the poem entitled A Darker Day which was written by poet
martin. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Brittany Martin
It's a blood stained moon-
as clouds slither through,
licking off the light that now
leaves the ground a purity
of black and great solitude.
The bats fluster blindly in air,
flickering like a moth in flame.
The air it breathes is scarce and fare,
cold and numb in the nostrils
as wind skips through, hauntingly.
The trees under the obscured light,
bows and re-bows after howls.
Manipulated under the realms of evil,
treasuring like peasant to king,
a darker day.
I watch out the bedroom glass,
more strongly as the family sleep
a temporary death,
I lean to listen, a darker tale
a darker story- the reversing of
average day to a darker living.

Back at \'er... again.
Hello everyone, I don't post much on these forums anymore, let alone work out but in the last recent weeks i've looked in the mirror before the shower and hate how I look. I'm small and not even cut, so I've decided to take my life to a new level and put on some weight. Heres some stats, been back at the game for about 2 weeks now, few days into the third and although I don't look any better I feel better. Currently: Bulking (well trying to) Age: 18 Weight: 167ish Height: 5'9 BF: Hard to say and my pics are crappy so hard to see i'd say 14-16%. Split: 4 on 3 off
1st: chest/tri's
2nd: off
3rd: shoulders/bi's
4th: off
5th: back/traps
6th: off
7th: legs/abs
Just started writing down workouts so will be posting, take in mind i'm 3 weeks into everything. max reps I do is 10 excluding warm up.
Diet: eat everything, and as much as I can, all the time. I have trouble putting on muscle and will allow some fat gain if it is accompanied by muscle.
Pics: http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/i...albumview=link
I know I need to work on alot but its been a solid year since i've been in the gym and I wasn't very big or strong at that point. Any help would be great, currently in college living at home but have a full class schedule and am out of town everyday from 7 am to 5:30 pm.
Thanks everyone, please critique!
Stats:

[*]Age- 17[*]Weight- 170 lbs [*]Height- 5' 10"[*]BF- 16.14%[*]Bench- ?? [*]Squat- ??[*]Legpress- ??[*]Deadlift-??[*]Currently- Cutting.. check out my journal![/list]
Re: Back at \'er... again.
Oh at btw the supps that I am taking are: whey, dextrose, malto-dextrin, caffeine, and creatine (loading phase, 3 days in) and soon to try NO2 and L-Arginine (Just waiting, been 2 weeks now since I ordered).
Today was chest and tri's i'll post workout if anyone is interested but **** i'm impressed some of my lifts went up drastically since last week. Flat bench went up around 15lbs with same number of reps but my decline shot through the roof, last week most I was able to do was 165 x 5 and this week I did 215 x 6. Hopefully its not just some placebo effect and next week i'll return to my normal weak self.

(October, 2013)
We spoke to a representative for the developer for the commercial lots at the front of Kings Mill, between Anderson Road and North Park Drive, on Friday October 18th. Our intent in contacting the developer was to understand what is permitted/planned for this development that is so close to our neighborhood. We found the developer's representative to be very forthcoming with information and interested in keeping our residents aware of the development as it progresses.
According to our source, there is currently no pending or signed contracts on the property. The activity we have seen in the last few weeks was to clean out dead tress from the drought a few years ago and an infestation of pine beetles that had devastated much of the old growth on the plot. Additional sand was also added to the future retail site.
At this point there is no definitive answer to what is going to be built. However, what is not going to be built is good news for our neighborhood. There will not be a large box store, (e.g., Cosco), nor will H-E-B be built on the plot. There will be no residential construction on this land, i.e., apartments, Section 8 HUD housing nor will there be senior residential living units built on the land.
Then what may be built on the property? The options are fast food, a retail center, small office building or bank. I repeat, there are not pending or signed contracts for any construction at this point.
In discussing the timing of future construction on the land adjacent to our neighborhood, the representative for the developer indicated that his expectation would be contracting some time late in 2014 and construction beginning in 2015. This is a long term project for the developer of the land and this editor will continue to speak with the developer's representative as time and the project goes on to get updates on their progress. Of course, these updates will be provided to you, our neighbors, in a timely manner.
Please, keep checking back to keep up to date on the progress of a very important element just outside our neighborhood.
Thank you,
Cheryl Landwehr
I spoke with a Vice President with Friendswood Development on Tuesday, December 17, 2013. He said that the development of utilities is ongoing, and although Friendswood Development has been contacted by several interested parties, they have not entered into a contract with anyone at this time.
Again, they have ruled out Senior Apartments, Apartments in general and HEB, they do not believe that these types of development are a good fit for our neighborhood. He feels that it was be three to four months before Friendswood will be in a position to begin contract negotiations on these two commercial sites.
I will continue to speak with my contact at Friendswood Development and update you as I get additional information.

The Most Realistic Game Ever
Let's just say I love this game. It's great when my interwebz is slow and I can't play some game online to be able to pop this game in, find the nearest airport, steal a plane, and blow the shite out of some nearby base. Just the other day I discovered an OIL RIG. An OIL RIG. That had things I could BLOW UP. Plus I realized that as you blow the shit out of things, some things stay and some things don't. For example, SAM installations stay blown up. Helicopters re-spawn. Some bases are so big that you can come in, blow up some shit, take a helicopter, fly around, blow up more shit, and take a brand new helicopter from the same spot you just came from. What more can you ask for? If you really are hurting, run away. Come back later and blow shit up. Seriously this game is alot of fun. I don't think I've even played the story. Who would do that when there is shit to BLOW UP.
So there are some things I don't like about this game. That annoying voice that keeps sending me messages no matter how I don't follow the story. That's not cool. Also, every time you unlock something the game freezes and goes to the PDA. Really? Usually I unlock something as I am BLOWING SHIT UP and really can't be bothered to know what the black market guy will give me for my left kidney this time. Now the neat "spy" jet thingy you unlock rocks the heezy, but usually I crash it on take-off, so maybe that's not worth the mulah.
One final gripe is that every time you save the game, your progress is saved but when you re-load the game you re-spawn back at some home base. I literally have no clue how this works, and why I can't just start back at the point where I was STANDING ON A FUCKING BOAT that I JUST HIJACKED, instead of at that old guys' mansion.
Needless to say I will continue playing this game when my other games get boring (which happens alot) and be reminded that games are supposed to be fun, and games are games, not REAL LIFE.

If you require further proof that our Annual Hotel WiFi Report is based upon our own testing and internet surfing at hotels around the world, then look no further. We love our free WiFi, and on a recent trip to Chicago, we went out of our way to try out the 1.5-year-old Aloft at Chicago O'Hare Airport.
Of course, the fact that it has a sweet pool, garden lounge area and chill lobby helped out our decision too; it's not just free hotel WiFi we look for in a property. We'll be back with the full review, room tour video and photo gallery of the Aloft O'Hare tomorrow, but for now let's all just have hump day coffee, okay?

Bailey's in Old Hyde Park Village
Chavez on Rome has been replaced by a place called Bailey's. Apparently, the owner was a caterer who is trying his hand at a restaurant. The overall theme appears to be comfort-food. After a very nice soup and salad, my wife had shrimp and grits and I had meatloaf with maccaroni and cheese. Both were excellent. For dessert we had a four-apple apple crisp and a simple, but delicious, chocolate cake with vanilla icing. The entrees were less than $12, which was extremely reasonable for the care that went into them. For the time being, they are only open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. The menu will change once a week. The third entree for this week was a chicken marsala, if I remember correctly. If you are in the mood for home cooking in a nice outdoor setting, it's a good option.
Thanks for the report. Did it seem crowded when you went? Chavez had such odd hours--whimsical, it seemed--that we got out of the habit of considering it. Btw, Chavez has consolidated into one location, on Howard at Dekle, across from Sally O'Neal's, but I think it's high-end takeout and catering only.
re: Miss E
I would say for the soft start (limited hours and menu) that they are doing very well. We sat outside and there were four or five tables seated. There were people sitting inside as well. I am glad you mentioned the consolidation of Chavez; I would not want to suggest that they disappeared.
re: CFishman
I think I am giving up on this place. I have been several times since my first visit and there always seems to be some kind of issue. Restaurants should know how to cope when they get slammed. Consistently running out of food doesn't seem reasonable to me. On top of that, the prices have gone up and the quality of the food has gone down. The fried pork chops last night were a bready chewy mess. The menu is starting to irk me as well. It always says things like "the best pulled pork in the world." When I read things like that it makes me skeptical from the start. The desert was good last night but that was about it. I wouldn't bother with a negative review but since I started the thread I felt responsible to say something.

Some may argue that Tennessee's recent basketball success ended the minute its architect Bruce Pearl was fired amidst the NCAA scandal that continues to rock the program to its core.
Now that the 2010-11 team's top two players--Tobias Harris and Scotty Hopson--have decided to stay in the NBA Draft, forgoing their remaining combined four years of eligibility, new head coach Cuonzo Martin's job of keeping Tennessee among the nation's top 25 programs in the near future has become a nearly impossible task.
Tennessee fans and even Martin himself knew this was a distinct possibility, if not probability, as soon as the Vols season ended in March.
Still, supporters held out hope that Harris, the Vols '10-11 freshman sensation, would stick around to improve his late first round draft stock for the 2012 NBA Draft.
In the end, however, the opportunity was just too much for the talented small forward to pass up.
Scotty Hopson was supposed to be a freshman sensation three years ago. It was speculated that he would leave after each of his first two season's at Tennessee. Instead, inconsistent play has diminished his potential and hampered his entire career.
Hopson is considered a borderline late second round draft pick by most experts, making his decision to stay in the draft a head-scratcher.
In addition to losing those two players, Tennessee's two highly touted signees--Chris Jones and Kevin Ware--will not play at Tennessee next season. Jones will attend Northwest Florida State College after failing to qualify at UT.
Ware decided to re-open his recruitment following Pearl's dismissal and it appears he's no longer considering Tennessee.
Replacing those two top 100 players is unranked signee Wes Washpun who committed to Martin at Missouri State before signing at Tennessee when the coach made the move to Knoxville in late March.
Potentially joining Washpun are recent commits Quinton Chievous and Josh Richardson--both 6'5" shooting guards, neither ranked among the top 100 recruits.
Martin does have some talent left on the roster.
Soon-to-be sophomore point guard Trae Golden was the top high school player in Georgia prior to his freshman season at UT. Fellow Georgian Jordan McRae was one of the top 50 recruits in the nation heading into his freshman season as well.
But no player on the current roster, including McRae and Golden, has lived up to his potential. In most cases inconsistency has softened what should have been the rock solid core of Tennessee's reinvigorated basketball program over the past few years.
Now, Tennssee must try to continue its recent unprecedented run of success with a brand new coach who has only three seasons of head coaching experience, and with a roster full of inconsistent potential and a laud-less list of recruits.
If that's not enough to alter your half-full view of the situation, Tennessee has yet to receive its ruling from the NCAA for Bruce Pearl's indiscretions.
So, yes, things could get much worse soon.
Maybe this is being overly-pessimistic, but it appears that Tennessee basketball's time in the sun has come to a swift and sad end.

General Shinseki, Patty [Shinseki], distinguished Senators, Members of the House, Secretary [of the Army, Louis] Caldera, thank you for your very, very eloquent statement about the new Chief of Staff. Secretary [of the Navy, Richard] Danzig, General and Mrs. [Hugh] Shelton [Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff], General [Joseph] Ralston [Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff], Janet [Cohen], distinguished guests.
You've left me very little to say, Secretary Caldera, but I will labor very hard to add more than just a footnote to your comments about the heroic service that Ric Shinseki has dedicated to this country.
In the waning hours of the Cold War, Vaclav Havel, who went from being playwright to president of the Czech Republic, came to Washington and he spoke to Congress. He said; "The world is changing so rapidly that we have no time to be astonished." Well, in recent days, we, too, scarcely have had time to be astonished at the scenes that have come rushing at us. Of the ethnic cleansing in the heart of Europe that calls to mind some of the darkest chapters of the 20th Century. Of the greatest military alliance in history responding with the most precise air campaign in history. And of America's Army taking up positions in Kosovo to guarantee the peace that NATO's military has secured.
Ladies and gentlemen, these are truly remarkable times. And if we hope to create a lasting peace for Europe and beyond, we'll need remarkable individuals: soldiers with courage that is forged in the crucible of battle; strategists with clear and innovative vision; and leaders with the finest sense of character and integrity. We had such an individual in Denny Reimer, to whom we bid farewell yesterday. And we have such a person in the new Chief of Staff that we welcome here today.
Ric Shinseki is first and always a soldier. The medals and ribbons on his chest tell of his bravery and boldness during those two tours of Vietnam, as Secretary Caldera mentioned. But even the shining decorations cannot tell the full story of his courage and commitment, of his determination in recovering from grievous wounds. Indeed, through those endless months of rehabilitation, Ric Shinseki kept his spirits up and he remained true to the Army. At a time when many chose to leave, he fought to stay. From his hospital bed, he petitioned to remain in the service despite deep and devastating scars.
There is a portrait that hangs over the entrance to my office. It's a portrait of Joshua Chamberlain. I have it there to remind all who enter of a story of uncommon courage and dedication. Chamberlain, after suffering wounds that most thought were mortal, against all argument, against all odds, decided to return to battle. He wrote to his entreating parents who asked him not to go. He said; "I am not scared or hurt enough to be willing to face the rear when other men are marching to the front. It is true my incomplete recovery from my wounds would make a quiet life desirable. And when I think of my young and dependent family, the whole strength of that motive to make the most of my life comes over me. But there is no promise of life in peace and there is no degree of death in war. And I am so confident of the sincerity of my motives that I can trust my own life and the welfare of my family in the hands of providence." General Shinseki, you embody Chamberlain's fighting faith.
I mentioned yesterday that I had occasion to visit with our forces in the Balkans over the weekend. Our soldiers are relentlessly keeping the calm in Bosnia. They are relieving the suffering of refugees in Albania. They are now restoring peace in Kosovo. And every American should be truly proud of our soldiers. No one more so than Ric Shinseki. He helped to ensure that our forces would be prepared for the Balkans when he served on the Army staff. He then deployed with them as Commander of the Stabilization Force in Bosnia. Indeed, the peace that General Shinseki helped to make possible in that part of the Balkans instructs us today as we work to bring peace to the rest of the region.
General Shinseki, we're going to need all of your accumulated wisdom and experience to carry us through the turbulence of the present to secure our future. And you're going to have a great teammate with General [Dan] Keane as your Vice Chief and together with Secretary Caldera. You're going to build a more agile Total Army that harnesses the full potential of all of its members -- Active, Guard and Reserve. And you will complete their transformation into information-age warriors ready to dominate a digitized battlefield and ensure that all stay well-trained and well-equipped and well-prepared for any mission that fortune or fate might demand of them.
Patty Shinseki, the Army and the nation also look to you. We look to your commitment and to your compassion to help us serve the families who sacrifice so much alongside of our forces. And so, we welcome you here today, knowing that the families are going to be in strong, confident, life-enhancing hands.
There's another aspect of Ric Shinseki's story which I think bears telling. Ric was born in a small town in Hawaii in 1942. Due to the hysteria of the time, the law stated that all persons of Japanese ancestry, whether citizen or not, be designated as enemy aliens. Ric's grandfather was a laborer in Hiroshima who arrived in Hawaii in the late 1800's, and he raised his children and grandchildren to love America. Yet on the day that he was born, Ric Shinseki was considered an enemy of the state.
Today, we have the privilege to present Ric as the 34th Army Chief of Staff. Our country has matured and grown from the early 1940's when some shameful decisions were made in the heat of wartime. Ric Shinseki is a soldier, not a symbol, but his presence here and the changes in the past 50 years say some great things about him and about America, about our capacity for growth and our capacity for decency.
I also need to say a special word about one of our guests here today, Senator Dan Inouye. Dan was 17 and living in Honolulu when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He, too, was soon classified as an enemy alien and was denied the chance to serve his country. The Army eventually decided to form an all-Japanese unit, the 442nd Regimental Command Combat Team. Before World War II ended, the 442nd and its units would become the most heavily decorated combat unit in Army history. Senator Inouye, who served so heroically in the 442nd with a number of Ric Shinseki's uncles, was so inspiring that Ric decided to make his own career in the Army. Senator Inouye, you are one of our national treasures. I know this is a great day for you to see Ric take office. It's also a special moment for all of us to see one of the greatest members of the greatest generation in our presence still carrying on the battle for our fighting forces. We applaud you. [Applause.]
I spoke of Chamberlain just a few moments ago, but let me close with thoughts on character and spirit. He said; "We know not of the future and we cannot plan for it much. But we can hold our spirits and our bodies so pure and high we may cherish such thoughts and such ideals and dream such dreams of lofty purpose that we can determine and know what manner of men we will be whenever and where ever the hour strikes that calls us to noble action."
General Shinseki, whenever the hour has struck, you've answered America's call with noble action. Today, the hour strikes again and the Army is indeed fortunate to have you at the helm. We celebrate your past, we celebrate your promise, confident that the men and women of America's Army, following your example, will always be there as well. [Applause.]

Video: Porsche Showcases 911 Carrera 4 on Slippery Circuit
Porsche is rightfully proud of what they have created with the brand new 991-generation 911 Carrera 4 and this is demonstrated in the following video where Porsche takes a scientific look into how the Carrera 4 performs in adverse road conditions.
Although many people believe that Porsche 911's are too old-fashioned due to their engines sitting behind the rear-axle, the German marque has always remained true to its heritage. Rather than creating a mid-engined 911 or a front-engined 911, Porsche has instead opted to develop advanced handling technology which reduces any pendulum effect naturally created by having the engine at the rear of the car.
As you'll see from the following video, Porsche has successfully accomplished its goal of doing so and in the process has created one of the best handling sports cars on the market.

Drug war orphans struggle to survive
Estimated 25,000 orphans in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - A small orphanage in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico houses about 30 children, each with his or her own tragic story.
Six-year-old Manuel was sold to a drug addict by his mother for a small amount of marijuana. The drug addict's son thought it was funny to get Manuel high.
He ended up at the orphanage because his prostitute mother dropped off his sister, telling the orphanage she didn't want her anymore.
These stories are not unique in Ciudad Juarez, once the murder capital of the world and a city that continues to be plagued by drug-related violence.
More than 5,000 people have been murdered since 2010 alone, leaving nearly 25,000 orphans, according to an estimate from JuarezOrphans.com.
Cesi Perez runs the small orphanage where Manuel and his sister now stay. She said they see a litany of mental issues surrounding the violence.
"Most of these kids have never been given affection," said Perez. "They either have never known their parents or their parents didn't provide it."
Perez said she and her family try and fill the void. They give the children a basic education and better nutrition.
The hope is for them to lead fruitful lives with opportunities they otherwise wouldn't have.
It's difficult for the orphanage, however, as the Mexican government provides no help funding. Every dollar spent comes from Perez and her middle-class family.
"We do it because they're like our kids now," said Perez. "We laugh together, cry together and live together."

The powerful frontman is looking to get his career back on track following a frustrating time with injuries.
Frequent spells on the treatment table have prevented him from making the desired impact at Nottingham Forest following a 2011 switch from West Bromwich Albion.
The Reds have deemed him surplus to requirements and have allowed him to link up with Championship rivals Yeovil on a short-term deal which is initially due to run January.
The Glovers have expressed a desire to keep him at Huish Park past that point, but Miller has learned from experience to expect nothing in football.
He told the Western Gazette: "We will see what happens in a month's time. You never know what happens in football, it changes so quickly and I'm really happy to be here at this time and I'm relishing the task ahead during these next few weeks.
"There's no better feeling than playing a game and winning a game, knowing you have done well for the team and team's done well for you.
"It's a big difference here to being in the big cities but I feel this is what I needed and that's one of the reasons I came down here.
"It's taken me away from those cities where I have the security of my friends and family so I can solely concentrate on my football."
Miller, who has netted twice in three appearances for Yeovil, added: "It's good to get back on the pitch, get minutes under the belt and obviously it's been a great start with the results we've had.
"I have been wanting to play and been frustrated not playing. Hopefully I can come here and do a job for the team.
"Obviously I have been through a lot of injuries and things football-wise that other people haven't been through which has made me a stronger person, mentally stronger and made me a better player.
"I need games under my belt as I believe I'm coming into my prime at 26. I have done a few things in my career so far and I have had three promotions, which is decent, but I am just happy to be playing football again.
"I want to get back to the level that I feel I can play at. I just want to go on and be the player I know I can be."

College of Lake County has set a 2014 tentative operating budget of $98.2 million, essentially the same amount as for the current year. To comment, the public may attended a budget hearing at 6 p.m. June 25. The CLC board will vote on the document afterward. "The college is in good shape financially, and this budget shows that we are being fiscally responsible," said board Chairman Amanda Howland. "We will continue to look for ways to cut costs without hurting students." In a recent presentation to the board, David Agazzi, vice president for administrative affairs, explained the college will achieve significant cost savings in contracts, commodities and utilities.

As an eighth-grader, A.J. Hazen was a 3.5 grade-point-average student. He was a star basketball player and loved snowboarding with his buddies.
Once he started his freshman year at Battle Ground High School, A.J. changed. He couldn't focus on homework and school became difficult. He skipped classes, which landed him in detention. He started smoking marijuana, which led to the juvenile court system.
In February, the 15-year-old killed himself.
"He was such a likeable and lovable kid that we all just thought it was just those teenager rebellious years, and we did not see the signs of suicide coming until about the last 24 hours of his life," said Brad Hazen, A.J.'s father.
"He said the day before that all he wanted was a gun and a bullet," Hazen said. "In retrospect, he was definitely ready to take his life when he said that."
A.J. is one of four Clark County teenagers who have died by suicide since February. In comparison, nine young people ages 10 to 19 died by suicide from 2007 to 2009, according to data provided by Clark County Public Health.
The recent deaths have rattled families, friends and students at the four high schools they attended — Battle Ground, Union, Skyview and Columbia River. The cluster of suicides has also spurred local agencies and organizations into action.
Unite 4 Life, a local nonprofit that addresses teen depression and suicide, offered a free 90-minute suicide prevention message for teens, parents and other interested community members Thursday night. The presentation, which drew about 175 people, was followed by a 30-minute question-and-answer session.
The organization is also offering to facilitate small-group discussions for teens who want to talk about their own feelings of depression or the loss of their classmates. In addition, the nonprofit will help families in need of crisis intervention, said Aaron Chidester, the organization's executive director.
"A string like this is just terrible," he said. "I look at it as a major public health concern, just as if it was a spread of E. coli. Young people are dying, and we need to respond."
Help from peers
Clark County Public Health officials are working with staff at the Clark County TeenTalk line and other county departments to better understand the deaths and how to respond.
The TeenTalk line is staffed by trained teenage volunteers. The line provides teens with a peer to talk to, whether they are in crisis or just want someone to listen, coordinator Kris Henriksen said.
"I do think that there's very strong feelings about the way to respond to a tragedy," Henriksen said. "Speaking as myself and somebody's who's had a suicide in the family, it's important to be respectful and understanding of all the different ways people can respond."
Mary Jadwisiak, Youth Suicide Prevention Program coordinator for Southwest Washington, said it's impossible to know what teens who turn to suicide are feeling in the days and months leading up to their deaths. But, she said, parents, youth pastors, teachers and other adults can create an atmosphere where youth feel safe talking about depression and suicidal feelings.
Jadwisiak said adults with youth in their lives needs to ask one very direct question: "Are you thinking about suicide?"
"It's an audacious question nobody wants to ask, but until we start talking about suicide, we can't start talking about suicide prevention," she said. "They want somebody to ask them. They're waiting for somebody to ask them."
Adults and other teens should also be aware of warning signs like irritability, withdrawal, increased drug and alcohol use and problems with authority. Teens who have sudden changes in their eating, sleeping or sexual habits and continue the behavior for more than two weeks may be experiencing depression, Jadwisiak said.
Adults and teens who notice signs must speak up, she said.
"You can't keep this a secret," she said. "It's a medical condition that requires medical intervention."
Chidester, with the nonprofit Unite 4 Life, said he hopes the outreach efforts will help young people understand their feelings and know that it's OK to talk about them.
"So many young people, when they go through depression, they keep it to themselves," he said. "What I tell teenagers is, 'If you're going through depression, if you're thinking about suicide, it's OK. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you.'"
Teens need to know they are supported and have people who care about them, he said.
Following the two most recent teen suicide deaths, which occurred in mid-May, Skyview High School sophomore Kendall Ryder made it her mission to show her classmates she cared for them. Kendall knew two of the four teens who died recently.
The 16-year-old baked 200 cupcakes, adorned with colorful inspirational messages like "You're never alone," "Believe in yourself," and "Smile." She distributed the cupcakes to students who looked like they needed a lift.
"I just hope they realize with some negative things going on right now that we can always turn it into something positive," she said. "That people want to help you and you are never alone."
Brad Hazen said he believes his son took his own life because he felt too much pressure — pressure in school, the court system and his personal life.
In the end, the pressure was too much for A.J. to handle, Hazen said.
"There isn't a day or an hour that goes by that I don't think about him," Hazen said. "And that's pretty much how my older son feels, how my ex-wife feels and how A.J.'s friends feel."
"We think about him all the time," he said.

Using Tegra 3 Devices for Stereo 3D Output on External 3D Displays
Lately Nvidia has been talking a lot about their new Tegra 3 platform and during MWC 2012 together with their partners they were demonstrating a lot of new products based on it that should soon be coming on the market. Meanwhile the only Tegra 3-based tablet that is already on the market ' Asus Transformer Prime is getting a lot of attention, but one of the features of the latest Tegra platform, also supported on the Transformer Prime, is kind of overlooked. While there is still no Tegra-based tablet or smartphone with a built-in stereoscopic 3D display, you are able to actually use these devices with a 3D-capable monitor or a 3D HDTV in 3D mode. The Tegra 3 platform officially supports stereoscopic 3D output over the HDMI 1.4 interface, so if you connect it to an external 3D-capable display you can actually use a device such as the Transformer Prime to play 3D videos, watch 3D photos and of course play games in stereoscopic 3D formatâ?¦
Actually the most interesting part is that the Tegra 3 uses a very similar technology like 3D Vision on PC to enable the stereoscopic 3D rendering of some games. Thanks to the increased performance of the Tegra 3 you are able to automatically, and in real-time, convert some OpenGL based games and apps into stereo 3D and play them on a big 3D-capable display. And the nice thing is that you also have an easy access to controlling the level of depth on a Tegra 3-based device similar to the way that the depth slider works on the 3D Vision.
Here is what you need to do to activate the 3D mode on a Tegra 3-based device:
- Connect your Tegra 3 mobile device to a 3D-capable monitor to 3D HDTV with HDMI 1.4 support.
Currently there are 16 game titles optimized for Tegra that are supporting the real-time stereoscopic 3D conversion if you connect your compatible Tegra 3 device to a 3D-capable display and thanks to the ability to also use a console game controller together with your tablet you can get something that is quite close to a 3D-capable console. And thanks to the hardware accelerated video decoding and playback features one Tegra 3-based tablet could easily become a portable stereo 3D video player that would allow you to play 3D HD video clips on your big screen 3D HDTV for example. The last thing would of course need some work to make things work the way you want them to, but since there are still not a lot of options available for portable HD video players supporting stereo 3D video playback it is definitely something to dig a bit into. So maybe I should consider getting a Tegra 3-based Transformer Prime tablet to play a bit with and test and experiment with its 3D-capabilities. If you already own one of these devices and have tried the stereo 3D capabilities together with an external stereo 3D display feel free to share your feedback belowâ?¦
- For a list of all the Tegra-optimized games that support stereoscopic 3D renderingâ?¦

Hey homies. Just wanted to throw up a fun announcement today. I mentioned it a few weeks back, but I am heading down to St. Louis in mid-October to go to the Financial Blogger's Conference (or FinCon). It doesn't really get any nerdier than that! A bunch of great financial bloggers are heading down for 4 days of fun and excitement, with some amazing speakers and awesome networking opportunities.
Yes, it will be nerdy, but it will also be awesomely motivating for newbie bloggers such as myself to learn from those who have done this for over a decade, and those who have built some rather large brands and are doing this as their full-time job. I've always had a dream of teaching personal finance 40+ hours a week, but most people that need the help can't afford to pay someone. But if I was able to make it work in an online capacity, that would be amazing as well. Even if I don't get there, I can at least learn how other's made it a reality, and maybe I'll get my butt into gear and make this blog something even more awesomely helpful for readers.
My goal here has always been to give you something useful for your life, something you can practically implement into your everyday life to improve your finances and enjoy life more! The first thing I did when starting this blog was put together my budgeting basics series, which in my opinion, is the BEST way to get your finances in order, giving you an awesome financial platform to jump off. Then, for those who wanted more detailed attention, I put together my Budget Friday series (which is a super lame name…don't worry, changing it soon), giving one-on-one counsel, setting up a budget plan, and showing them how wicked sweet their financial future could be. I also try to find some conventional and unconventional ways to save money, and lately have been using the power of credit card rewards to teach others how to fund several vacations a year!
I'm hoping to go to the conference, get motivated, and have MUCH more fun in store for this blog. From all the testimonials I read about last year, this is one of the most fun conferences of the year, and one that MANY look forward to as their favorite trip of the year. I'm also excited to meet all my virtual friends in person, and actually talk to them in analog. Over the past year and a half, I've become part of an awesome online community, and am excited to make those friendships all the more real a few weeks from now. If you plan on heading to the conference, definitely let me know, as I'd love to share a meal and some conversation with all my financial nerds!
Plutus Awards
On my sidebar, you may have noticed a little trophy that says "vote here". Thank you to all who voted for me, I really appreciate the it! I didn't make it into the finals, but a TON of my blogging buddies did, and I'm excited to cheer them on and vote for my favorites. You can check out the finalists here.
There is still one award left for nomination, and I'd be honored if you deem me worthy of your vote. It's the People's Choice Award. Definitely vote for your favorite here, but if you happen to fancy this ol' budgeting site here, you can throw me a vote by clicking HERE, or clicking on the trophy on my sidebar. Thank you for any votes, it means a lot, and I hope to continue to improve here and keep ya'll coming back
FinCon Ignite
And one last fun announcement. I'll be presenting at this year's FinCon Ignite, which is a fast-paced, 5 minute presentation with auto-switching powerpoint slides at a brewery. Should be a rowdy, good time for all. It's Friday, October 18th at 8pm at the Morgan Street Brewery in St. Louis, so everyone make sure to add it to your schedule so you can come and mock me while I'm making a fool of myself on stage. Don't forget your rotten tomatoes!
Comments: Anyone out there gunna be at FinCon? Anyone else as excited as I am to meet some of your digital friends in real life? Make sure to hit me up!
