Five months later you and your husband agree that you want a big family and want to start it now. You try for 1/2/3 months but with no luck. You decide you will try again in /3-10/ months.
Nine months after your honeymoon, you get terrible cramps (I bet you know where this is headed). Your fantastic husband stays with you and you head to the hospital. Uh oh! You run out of gas and have to pull to the side at a gas station ten minutes away from the hospital. While waiting for the tank to fill up, your hubby suggests you lay on your back in the backseat to possible help with the cramps because they become a lot worse (hey, he's trying.) You call 911 because they become so unbearable. You feel a lot of pressure and your body takes over and makes you push. A second later you realize what's happening and take your yoga pants/skirt/jeans/dress off. Your husband steps up because he used to be a fireman/ police man/ paramedic before he decided to go back to school a year later.
You deliver a healthy baby...

All four of you make it to the hospital healthy.
You decide to name the middle name one of the baby's after the one of the two paramedics- Amelia Jennifer and Hudson Declan. The middle name of the sibling is named after you/your husband.
Twin 1-
Twin 2-
What a surprise! You realize how hard caring for two babies is so you and your husband agree to wait a while before trying to conceive again.
Whoops, that didn't work out to well. You take a pregnancy test 3 months later and there are two lines.
You thought two babies was hard until you saw the ultrasound.
Triplets- wearing a tank top
Quads- wearing long sleeves
Quints- wearing short sleeves
They somehow make it to full term, thank goodness.

c- girl: Charlotte Irene
d- boy: Alexander Francisco

A year later you take a trip to Italy and the kids stay home with grandma, ___. You party for the first time since you have kids and the nights are magical. One thing you've always wanted to do is to donate your time at an orphanage. Luckily your husband knows Italian. You find a newborn baby girl on the steps as you are about to enter. You decide it is fate that you should adopt her so you you do and name her:
Girl adopt- first name is Italian, middle name ends in –ly
For two months after your vacation you feel sick and exhausted. You convince yourself it is just a cold from the airport until your yearly OB exam. (Not much of a…) Surprise! You are pregnant! Luckily it is a singleton. You decide it has been enough of a surprise already so you discover the gender. A baby boy!
Boy- first name in top 100, middle name has 3+ vowels
The baby is born months later and looks just like mom/dad/aunt/uncle
Your family still feels like it could use some more children. It takes only a month to conceive. The ultrasound shows that you are having
B/B/B- younger child/ only child
G/G/G- older child
G/B/G- middle child
The babies are born a month early and have to stay in the NICU for six weeks. Luckily they have two great nurses, Darla Quinn and Cyrus Max.

They are born…
B/B-In the back of a truck
G/B-In a hotel room

You and your hubby agree that your family is complete and are extra safe with protection.
Six years later you and your husband miss the days where you were teaching little ones how to talk and walk. You try for a year with no luck and turn to IVF. That was just the kick your system needed to become preggers. Within two weeks you are pregnant.
You decide for your last pregnancy you want to do a home birth. Your belly grows fast. At the four month mark you find a midwife and doula team you love. The come for the first 'check up' and see you are large for being only 18 weeks. Just to be safe they do an ultrasound to discover you are pregnant with octuplets!!! Medicine has advanced since you were first pregnant and now homebirths are often done with multiples so you stay with your midwife and doula. Right on their due date the octuplets arrive in a difficult 29 hour labor- but it is worth it! You are blessed with 4 boys and 4 girls.

George F. Kennan: An American Life By John Lewis Gaddis (Penguin, 784 pp., $39.95) I. George F. Keenan, who was born in 1904 and died in 2005, and served under presidents from Calvin Coolidge to John F. Kennedy, left as deep an imprint on American geopolitics as any intellectual of the twentieth century. But the exact nature of his achievement continues to elude full or even coherent description. One reason is that most of his very long life was spent in comparative obscurity.
Imperial Conservatism's Last Gasp
August 24, 2011
It was not so long ago that George W. Bush seemed to embody the future of conservatism. He had entered office amid doubts about his rightful place there, but pressed ahead nonetheless with grand ambitions, conducting an ideologically potent foreign war while also promising much at home. Which led some to wonder: Was this lavish spender really a conservative? Bush's champions rushed in to explain.

The Imperial Vice Presidency
November 19, 2008
Angler: The Cheney Vice PresidencyBy Barton Gellman (Penguin Press, 384 pp., $27.95) As Americans prepare to choose a new president, it may seem a curious exercise to rehearse the manifest failures of the current one. But either Barack Obama or John McCain is going to be stuck with the burdensome legacy of the Bush years, and the rest of us will be too--possibly for a long time. The war in Iraq is still with us. So are Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan. The Wall Street cataclysm will ramify, locally and globally, for many months, perhaps years.
The End of the Journey
July 02, 2007
I. In late 1988, when I set out to write a life of Whittaker Chambers,the cold war had reached its ceremonial endgame: Mikhail Gorbachevacknowledging the autonomy of peoples long after they had liberatedthemselves, valiant students halting tank columns in TiananmenSquare. It was an impressive, if occasionally hollow, spectacle,and it inspired a chorus of sweeping pronouncements in the UnitedStates.
Athwart History
March 19, 2007
Although he remains the most eminent conservative in the United States, his face and voice recognized by millions, William F. Buckley, Jr. has all but retired from public life. At the apex of his influence, when Richard Nixon and, later, Ronald Reagan occupied the White House, Buckley received flattering notes on presidential letterhead and importuning phone calls from Cabinet members worried about their standing in the conservative movement.
Outside in
October 08, 2001
Rescue workers were still combing through the wreckage of the World Trade Center when stern voices arose to caution us that the war against our attackers will not only challenge America's military resolve but also test its democracy at home. "[A] number of government agencies and their cheerleaders would be clearly tempted to lock the Bill of Rights away in some basement dustbin of the National Archives," The American Prospect warned on its website. Which agencies? Which cheerleaders? The editorial didn't say, though elsewhere the magazine published musings about "a systematic breakdown of res

port and explaining the criminal justice system, accompanying them to court, arranging transportation for proceedings, coordinating respite care if the victim is a caregiver, and helping the victim file for victim compensation funds. It is possible that victim/witness professionals will be the first to recognize that victims are experiencing elder mistreatment. Accordingly, victim/witness professionals need to understand the risk factors for and indicators of mistreatment and to know what services are available for these victims. Elder mistreatment researchers should be aware of the existence of these victim/witness assistance programs, not only as possible targets of research in themselves, but as sources of information in other studies.
Many professions, advocacy groups, and other organizations are involved in efforts to prevent and respond to elder mistreatment. Although adult protective services is the backbone of the system, community-based interventions draw on the health professions, law enforcement personnel and all participants in the criminal justice system, the bar and other participants in the civil justice system, financial institutions, and many others. Increasingly specialized responses are being developed through targeted training and interdisciplinary collaboration. For example, efforts are under way in many communities to improve the response to elder mistreatment victims by educating criminal justice system participants about the problem, developing specialized investigation and prosecution units, enhancing collaboration, and reforming statutes and policies. Most of these initiatives are of recent origin and have not yet been studied in a systematic way.
Professional specialization is a critical feature of an effective social response to any emerging social problem, once the problem has been recognized. In its evolution as a social problem, elder mistreatment is now in this "recognition and specialization" stage. Specialized training of health care professionals, mentioned earlier, continues to be an important challenge (Institute of Medicine, 2001). In addition, the increasing numbers of attorneys specializing in elder law, whether working in private practice or publicly funded legal services programs, can be valuable resources in collaborative efforts to prevent and respond to all forms of elder mistreatment. Prevention is enhanced through adequate counseling about the potential for abuse of common legal planning tools, such as powers of attorney (particularly durable powers of attorney), joint bank accounts, joint property ownership, trusts, and wills (see Hafemeister, this volume). Collaborative ef-

The one thing McCain really did do tonight for himself is introduce the proposal he should be selling hard for the rest of the campaign — the plan, originally floated by Larry Lindsey, to reset rates of adjustable-rate mortgages at a lower housing valuation in order to keep people in their houses, prevent foreclosures, and help the housing market find its floor so that the securities pegged to them can be properly valued. Ordinarily this notion of interposing the government into already-signed private contracts would seem unthinkable, but we are in unthinkable territory, and the plan itself, conceived by conservative economists, has the advantage of being a core approach instead of an ancillary approach.
Now McCain has to sell it. If he can. At least it gives him something to talk about.

For me?
What does it mean to be free?
More than from the physical bondage of a prisoner with my hands and feet shackled as I am being pulled in all directions.
It comes with a word, a hymn or a melody
I am boggled down by this society and the shackles get tighter as they try to poison my mind, my hopes, my dreams with their lies, deceit, and controversy.
With every despicable act that have been cast upon me a link is added to my chain
My burden is heavy laden as the weight of my links rest upon me
A link for each time I was hurt by a loved one
A link for each time I was abused
A link for each time I felt abandoned and cast aside
A link for each time I've had to go hungry
A link for each time I've slept in my car
A link for each time I've been taken advantage of
A link for each tear that I've cried
A link for each fear that I've felt
And I walk in this disillusioned life as a prisoner filled with pain
I look at the worldly pleasures and worldly goods and drive myself insane
A victim and a perpetrator of my own ignorance
The corruption of church and state left me on the outside looking in
The make believe of purchased goodness and happiness left not only my pockets, but my mind strained
A lease on life is truly what I was buying
Many times when I thought my lease revoked a link was broken on my chain
A hole was punctured in myself imposed ceiling letting the light in again
My knees became bruised and bloodied from my crawling upwards so I could catch a breath
And the words came back to me from a youth filled memory
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want (psalm23:1)
And my link for loneliness was shattered
And my link for tears was broken
And my link for advantageousness fell loose
The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid (psalm27:1)
And I began to walk again slowly and with a limp
Though still shackled, my burdens fell one by one to the side
My links for hunger, pain, suffering, and abuse fell off of me
Though I could now walk, I still feared
As the chains became shorter and shorter, my movements with my hands felt quite constrained
Habits had to be changed
Letting go of the bad ones left room for new ones good ones to grow
I let go of past loves, bad loves and made room for new ones, good ones
I let go of past hurts and made room for new and better experiences
I let go of the bad and made room for the good, finding help and my own family along the way
I am made up of more than blood and so is my new family, my spiritual family
He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake (psalm23:3)
Until I was left with one link
His hands were off me though he never left me
There was only one way to be free
Only one way I could set me free from the last link that binds me
It was the link of fear, and until I could let go and let God
I would always have a bind on me
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy. I will sing yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord (psalm27:6)
I will let go and let God – I am free
I will let go and let God – I am free
Let go and let God — Freedom

Agency filings affecting this section
Exception to rule—Request for a noncovered health care service.
A client and/or the client's provider may request the medicaid agency or its designee to pay for a noncovered health care service. This is called an exception to rule (ETR).
(1) The agency or its designee cannot approve an exception to rule if the requested service is excluded under state statute.
(2) The item or service(s) for which an exception is requested must be of a type and nature which falls within accepted standards and precepts of good medical practice;
(3) All exception requests must represent cost-effective utilization of medical assistance program funds as determined by the agency or its designee;
(4) A request for an exception to rule must be submitted to the agency or its designee in writing within ninety days of the date of the written notification denying authorization for the noncovered service. For the agency or its designee to consider the exception to rule request:
(a) The client and/or the client's health care provider must submit sufficient client-specific information and documentation to the agency's medical director or designee which demonstrate the client's clinical condition is so different from the majority that there is no equally effective, less costly covered service or equipment that meets the client's need(s).
(b) The client's health care professional must certify that medical treatment or items of service which are covered under the client's medical assistance program and which, under accepted standards of medical practice, are indicated as appropriate for the treatment of the illness or condition, have been found to be:
(i) Medically ineffective in the treatment of the client's condition; or
(ii) Inappropriate for that specific client.
(5) Within fifteen business days of receiving the request, the agency or its designee sends written notification to the provider and the client:
(a) Approving the exception to rule request;
(b) Denying the exception to rule request; or
(c) Requesting additional information.
(i) The additional information must be received by the agency or its designee within thirty days of the date the information was requested.
(ii) The agency or its designee approves or denies the exception to rule request within five business days of receiving the additional information.
(iii) If the requested information is insufficient or not provided within thirty days, the agency or its designee denies the exception to rule request.
(6) The agency's medical director or designee evaluates and considers requests on a case-by-case basis. The agency's medical director has final authority or approve or deny a request for exception to rule.
(7) Clients do not have a right to a fair hearing on exception to rule decisions.

Zach B., Yale University
As part of my mission to explore food in New Haven, I decided to visit three Yale noodle house staples and gauge their quality for myself: Ivy Noodle, York St. Noodle, and Bentara. If you missed part one, check out the review of Ivy Noodle.
Walking down York Street, the casual passerby cannot possibly miss the large neon sign advertising the presence of "York St. Noodle House." With seating outside and inside, the cozy environment seems inviting and smells like sizzling meat. As I look at the menu, I see that the entrée prices here match Ivy Noodle, with noodle bowls and plates around six to seven dollars.

Blizzard have seemingly made it clear that they don't want to bring real-world sexuality into the game; a response from them over this issue has said "We have determined that advertising sexual orientation is not appropriate for the high fantasy setting of the World of Warcraft and is therefore not permitted". Further justification for the charge was that positive discrimination would offend the majority of players. However, this makes little sense seeing as the guild was not exclusive, merely GLBT-friendly.
To what extent do our in-game selves leave real-world attributes such as sexuality at the door? If I want to roleplay a lesbian dwarf, I would like to do so without being silenced by Blizzard. However, on the flip side of the coin, I don't want to be discriminated against in-game for my gender or sexuality--that's what Xbox Live is for. It's a tough line to draw, and GMs deal with it every day, but perhaps they overstepped the line this time.

Broncos-Raiders: Five things to watch in Oakland
It hasn't always been explosive, but the Broncos' quest for balance has led them to run on 40.6 percent of their snaps this year, which places them near the middle of the league in run percentage (18th) and is 1.4 percent below the league average (the only teams who run more often than they pass are the Seahawks, Redskins and 49ers).
They've tried running repeatedly to various degrees of success — even when the home fans didn't appreciate the attempt, as was the case on a third-and-16 handoff to Lance Ball last week. They've done it not just for the short-term benefits — as multiple Broncos noted at Cincinnati last month, the early runs helped wear down the Bengals, softening their defense and setting up double-digit yardage gains late — but for the long term, which is the Broncos' focus now that a playoff bid has been clinched.
"That (running) is something that we feel like we have to be able to do and do better," quarterback Peyton Manning said. "Especially as potential weather approaches, that run game is something you want to have clicking on all cylinders."
They emphasized it during practice Tuesday, Manning said. Look for a similar focus Thursday — even when it seems the air is the path of least resistance.
A sprained right ankle prevented Wesley Woodyard from making the trip to Oakland, which cemented what appeared likely when the first-team weakside linebacker didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday: that the Broncos will make do with D.J. Williams and rookie Danny Trevathan working in place of the Broncos' leading tackler.
"It will definitely affect the defense. He's been playing well for us — really all season," Broncos linebacker Von Miller said. "But D.J., he's ready to go. If Wood can't go, D.J. will step right in that position. That's the same thing that Wood did for D.J. at the beginning of the (2011 season)."
And this, of course, is why the Broncos would have been foolish to cut Williams when his suspension ended. While he is not as explosive as Woodyard — especially in pass coverage, where Woodyard has more interceptions this year than Williams does his entire career — the Broncos trust him to not be a liability and play with steadiness.
Denver's defensive strengths change slightly with Williams replacing Woodyard, but not enough to cause great concern.
3. McFADDEN'S RETURN.
Running back Darren McFadden will play for the first time since Nov. 4, but even before he injured his ankle and missed four games, he wasn't the same back as he was before he suffered his Lis Franc injury last year. But when the Broncos last faced the Raiders, there wasn't enough evidence to say that McFadden was suffering lingering effects from the injury.
There were questions about the Broncos' run defense as that Sept. 30 game against Oakland neared, and they were justified at the time. Houston's Arian Foster had just singed the Broncos for 105 yards a week earlier, and McFadden had three consecutive 100-yard games — averaging 144 yards per game — at the Broncos' expense dating back to 2010.
But the Week 4 win over the Raiders was the first time that Keith Brooking started at middle linebacker, and that was the change that helped the Broncos' run defense congeal into a firm unit. McFadden only gained 34 yards on 13 carries, and the most reliable aspect of the Raiders' offense was essentially taken out of commission, leaving the Broncos free to rush quarterback Carson Palmer and disrupt Oakland's aerial timing.
McFadden hasn't found his form often at all, though, regardless of the competition. In six of the eight 2012 games he's played, he's averaged less than three yards per carry. It's conceivable he could recapture his form Thursday, but the odds aren't in his favor.
This has been elusive for the Broncos in recent weeks, as the poor first quarters that dogged them early in the season have returned after a two-week respite at the midway point. In their last four games, the Broncos have been outscored 30-14 (check to confirm) in the opening 15 minutes. As a result, the Broncos have trailed at some point in every game but Oakland in Week 4 and New Orleans in Week 8.
The balky beginnings caught up to the Broncos when they lost to the Falcons, Texans and Patriots, the three best teams they've faced. They haven't been a problem since, and one Thursday likely wouldn't bug the Broncos for long. But for their long-term hopes, they'd like to break this pattern before they jump back into elite competition at Baltimore in 10 days.
We're not talking about next week. We're talking about this weekend.
As much as the short week in advance of the Thursday games leads to consternation from players and coaches alike, they adore the Saturday and Sunday respite in its backwash. Champ Bailey noted that the weekend is like another bye, and those two days have been the tempting piece of meat dangling in the distance.
Of course, that meat is often booby-trapped — see the third Star Wars movie, "Return of the Jedi," for an example — and Oakland offers similar peril if the Broncos are carelessly sloppy. The penalty for a loss is great; it means the Patriots will have to lose twice and the Texans three times for the Broncos to have a shot at earning a first-round bye, even if they win at Baltimore.
Neither John Fox nor Manning has fared well after postseason byes — Fox is 0-1; Manning is 1-3 — so it's not like getting a week off is a guarantee of success. But the Broncos would just as soon avoid being tossed into a fiery first-round duel with surging Indianapolis or the Steelers or Bengals, both of whom played Denver tough earlier in the season and could hit their peak at the right time — especially if Ben Roethlisberger returns to his pre-injury form.
If the Broncos truly want a postseason bye, every game is a must-win. Even winning out might not be enough, but it's their only shot.

Paula: Why the decrease in congestion on the Causeway? My dream: That we have a new mass transit system appear over night that is clean, efficient and economical that commuters might realize to lessen traffic, void our dependence on extractive commodities such as oil, making our planet healthier, giving people jobs and time to relax during a safe ride to the suburbs. I know, I know; dreams are cheap but realization of dreaming is far less costly than our present situation . . .
Jack: Thanks for your posting. Being a winter resident of Florida, I am well versed in the number of businesses that suffered as a result of BP's oil spill. Fishermen lost their boats and homes, environmental damage will contine well beyond the century and numerous support businesses have gone bankrupt. A correction for your interest: despite all the continuing problems with the BP disaster, there is MORE drilling in the Gulf than ever before. Don't take my word for it; it's all available information on the Goggle site. While you're at it, Goggle American oil EXPORTS, and you'll find we EXPORT more than we import as oil in Europe is greatly more profitable to those oil companies you and I support with our tax dollars in the way of involuntary subsidies. My point: We already have enough oil, it's just that we squander it with our driving habits and huge gas gulping vehicles. My renewed thanks.
acssmith: Do you own any of the ghetto that stretches from Sanford all the way east to the township? An area that was, until a short time ago, a neat, tidy, well-maintained section of the city that rivaled Lakeside and Norton Shores? What happened to those neighborhoods? What happened to pride of ownership"? The dynamism of a healthy community will only be maintained to the degree that persons living and owning property support the original inspirations and keep up the standards. Without standards, the community presupposes decay . . .
Sto: I have been in numerous localities where lighthouses are tourist attractions and people pay to walk up --exercise!!!-- and enjoy the view. Of couse, they have to have something pleasant to vision; not piles of salt, coal, gravel and eyesores such as the neglected Mart Dock . . . Thanks for your posting.
yard: Thanks for your posting. Your perspective mirrors my own. A walk down the main street in Grand Haven shows a variety of boutiques, specialty shops, eateries, service establishments, but no "chain stores". The streets are busy with shoppers, traffic is evident, the town is clean and attractive, prices are reasonable and merchants are friendly and show their appreciation for your patronage. I wish this for Muskegon; we need to take advantage of our water and eliminate the eyesores and pollution from industries that belong out of town in industrial parks. My renewed thanks.
stretch: Thanks for your posting. I rode a bike for many years, even before there was a mandatory helmet law, but being in my 70's and having experieced numerous close calls, I sold my bike and miss the riding but am still physically together. I appreciate your discretion.
mrslash: Is it possible with Mothers Day upon us that you might ask your mom if she agrees? I'll wager she carried a baby for about 10 months until you were born . . .
Mr. Keep: Thanks for your reply. Yes, you are alot like many people in the state; in voting from an "independent" perspective, can you honestly admit that the recipients/candidates fulfill your expectations? I was once a Republican --politically homeless now-- but could not afford to be any longer as the party of Regan no longert exits, being replace3d by "neo-cons" who have sold out the principles of honest government resulting in the mess the country suffers from today. I am a conservative with hopes that the public will wake up and decide to no longer be victims. Have we had enough?
Smoking compromise? Somehow I am of the opinion that Nr. Gunn's attempt to cease smoking--commiting slow suicide by virtue of smoking tobacco-- isn't progrssing well. Just where are these bars and eating establishments that are losing money in this deep recession? I go to bars and have to wait for a table many times I venture out. Could it be that the ones actually losing business have poor food, shabby service and high prices? If only the Chronicle could employ a local, true conservative. Sadly, this is not the case.
Bill: Thanks for your posting. In a civil society, fewer public safety personnel would be needed, unfortunately, ours is not civil, and we have far too few police officers on the road. One comes to a constuction site with a reduced speed limit and slows down only to have careless prople speed up and pass. We observe drivers and passengers choosing not to wear seatbelts with very young children jumping around the rear seats, all unprotected. Erratic drivers are plentiful; are they drunk after leaving the bars and driving(?) their cars with little concern for their safety or others on the roadways? Just too few enforcement officials out there to curb the lawlessness. My renewed thanks.
Hmmmm . . . It took the Spanish two hundred years to eliminate the Mayas, and it's taking the Republicans a generation to eliminate the once comfortable, middle class. Jobs go overseas, and the government, the banks and the economy have all been hijacked with no relief in sight. Employment at Burger King, anyone?
Goodness Gracious - Great Balls of Fire!!! Paul Keep criticizing the GOP! Having said this, I am of the same opinion. I have written the governor two letters asking why he repealed the law at a time when the Feds are striving to increase the number of states requring helmets for bike riders, and motorcycle deaths are increasing at an acceralted rate --thus saving numerous lives. So far, Gov. Snyder has pulled a "Hoekstra" and not answered my letters. I wonder why?
Megan: AS a winter --about 6 months-- resident of Florida, I am very familiar with a law that is loosely referred to as "Stand Your Ground" and it resulted in a needless death of the Martin youth; he is only one of many who have been killed or seriously maimed since this law was enacted. If someone who is carrying a weapon --easily obtained permits are the rule-- feels he or she is threatened, out comes the gun and the carrier blasts away. All legal. That is the reason an arrest was not made at once; the shooter acted within the law and displayed a wound to the back of his head to prove he felt he was in mortal danger. The shooter is charged with second degree murder and will be acquitted as he technically broke NO laws. Perhaps, just perhaps, the law will be repealed, but in Florida, that is a very slight possibility.
On college preparation: Is it possible that the system of educating for the world of work is all wrong? All high school students should NOT be required to go on to an academic institution of higher learning to earn a living. The country needs technicians, truck drivers, mechanics, cement finishers, cooks, waiters, numerous positions in the health industry --especially as the nation ages-- and public service. Yet, we are not educating for these positions, setting students up for failure. Alas.
All children able to meet imposed standards? Of course not, having said this, ALL children should have the right to learn as much as they are able given the parameters of their abilities. The problem rests not with the learners, but with the system. It is designed to realize failure and dropping out of formal education with NO skills learned that are marketable in today's high tech world. Yet, our country is screaming for technicians who are well trained for jobs that pay a decent wage --one that would support a family-- but these jobs go unfilled. Everyone can learn some skills; skills that count for something of merit in the world of work. The traditional high school curriculum and imposed structure make it possible to be uneducated and the school earns a label of "failing". How tragic and sad the results are from ineptgovernments.
On Rick and the Mitt: Not a chance! Unless Moses reappears and brings forth a new tablet with a command from God that the Mitt become president, he stands not a chance of being elected in November. If he had his wits about him and was wearing his special underwear, he'd select Rubio to at least have a chance at securing some of the Hispanic vote that now eludes him for very apparent reasons. I suppose we'll have to wait until 2016 to find a conservative (authentic) candidate who will limit the size and reach of government, STOP WASTING our tax dollar$, stop unwinnable warring, provide effective leadership, is honest and will restore honesty and integrity to our federal government.
Say no: A very valid point; numerous shallow thinkers have Romney elected and he has yet to gain the nomination. I believe that Ron Paul will show us just who has a command of issues and SOLUTIONS as Romney has shown us nothing in the way of problems solving. In the forth coming debate(s) at the convention, Ron Paul will gain a new respect and Romney? Well, he just gave his son TEN MILLION DOLLAR$ for a business start-up. Nothing illegal about this --he can do what he wants with his riches-- but it does not seem the same effort will be an answer to our hijacked economy . . . Time will tell.
Demas: I am a conservative --not a Republican, any longer as I cannot afford to be-- and I resent many of your shallow remarks; I know, I know, they represent only your opinion. Question: Has it occurred to you that individuals of all political labels just might be tired of being told what to do by a government too inept to govern? Think about it, please.
card: A democracy or a republic or a PLUTOCRACY? No matter the nomer, we get stuck with the nefarious results . . . Have we had enough? Your posting is very timely and appropriate.
Do I read that Mr. Gunn is being critical of the GOP?Is something amiss here? I agree that the people should have an opportunity to voice their support or disagreement. A reminder that the contracts between labor and management were negotiated and voted upon by both sides of the equation. So, how is it that "run-away labor costs" have ruined school districts and municipalities? The problem as I see it is: A group of government officials who have not enough "furniture upstairs" to negotiate a carwash, agree to a contract that the general public is hung for regardless of the outcomes; even when a "professional negotiator" is hired by the administrations, the public gets stuck. So where do we aim the blame?

For me to be attracted to a painting, it is not so much about the subject matter and much more about the paint handling. This is a perfect example of that. These objects don't necessarily go together but I love how the painting came out. Therefore, I am attracted to it.

BAND-AID Magic Vision
An app that turns kids' pain into a stage to entertain.See the full experience
By: JWT New York
Brand: BAND-AID
The Story
Magic Vision started like a lot of our invention initiatives, not with a formal brief, but with a small team that had a big idea. The idea was simple - we wanted to turn the BAND-AID bandage itself into an experience that would turn moments of pain into moments of delight. Our challenge was to connect with the target audience, primarily moms, differentiating the BAND-AID Brand bandages from store brands - especially for younger, more cost-conscious moms. We also wanted to create an experience that would be accessible "out in the world" - on the playground, in places where cuts and scrapes happen.
We wanted to use BAND-AIDS to create an emotional bond between parents and kids. And we used Augmented Reality to achieve this. When a parent applies a Muppets BAND-AID and scans it with the Magic Vision app, they can swing Kermit while he plays his banjo (thanks to the accelerometer), take photos with Miss Piggy as she strolls the red carpet (thanks to the camera), and interact with Gonzo's amazing stunts (thanks to the touch screen and vibrating feedback).
The Technology
The Results
People spend a significant time with MAgic Vision while endorsing it to others. Why? Because it creates an emotional bond between parents and children, it amplifies the magic that comes from a BAND-AID and it provides distraction for kids to entertain away the hurt. Users gave it 4.5/5 stars on the iTunes store and it has garnered a 12.5% app "like rate"—exceeding 10% industry benchmark. It won a Cannes Gold Lion in new mobile category and achieved 115 million+ earned media impressions.

This stuff is incredible. Wet 'n' Wild has yet another great product for a ridiculous price. I have small-ish eyes so I bough this to open them up a bit by using it on the waterline. It goes on perfectly bright and smooth and stays on for hours, no problem at all. I adore this stuff and this company. (packaging gets a four because I just generally don't like pencil liners)

Overall rating the product is okay, it doesn't compare to Nyx's Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. But for the price I'd say it's not a horrible product (I got it at Giant Eagle for 99 cents). As for packaging, I'm never the person to care about it. If you are I'd say it's a typical pencil you can get at a drugstore.

Cheap, and it works alright, the white isn't as vibrant as i want it to be, and its really hard to sharpen this thing! i use it under my brows and sometimes to highlight, but i haven't really reached for this that often, if it was whiter then maybe, the staying power is different every time i use it, sometimes good, sometimes crappy, so probably not buying this again!

Love it! Great drugstore eyeliner. I bought it for 89 cents. It goes on smooth and creamy, which is nice, but makes it a little difficult to sharpen. Other than that, it's great. Lasts long and the color is bright and highly pigmented - something I didn't expect in such a cheap brand! I love the turquoise, too. I want them all!

Wet n Wild is an awesome, affordable drugstore brand. So while looking for a more easily accessible alternative to Milk by NYX, I decided to pick this up. It was only 99 cents-and it's not even worth that.
It smudged and migrated after ten minutes (but stayed put for 8 hours after that). It was neither bright nor subtle. It looked more muted on the waterline, where it also wore impressively, but it was tricky to get to show up there. It worked decently as a primer, but the richness it added to the shadow didn't last-the liner as a base faded after about 5 hours.
This product was a steal and you get a lot for the price, but it'ts just too difficult to work with to justify a repurchase.

I really don't know why I buy this....it is creamy but the color just look like whiteout...too white and it can't really get on waterline, waste of money even though it is 99 cents, I would rather save it and buy something better

I only bought this eyeliner on a whim since it was only $1. I can tell why it's $1, when sharping this, the tip breaks off waay to easily and the pigment isn't as white as I would want it. When I do apply enough for it to be white it does look nice. It makes my eyes look natural and it brightens them up. Although next time, I will spend a bit more for a higher quality product.

Although this eyeliner is cheap ($1.00), I found that it doesn't stick to my waterline that well. Even when it does, it looks cakey and doesn't provide that bright color that will make my eyes "pop". It also is hard to apply: you have to keep going over it, which hurts my eyes :( The color also doesn't lasts long. Once it goes away, it would leave a faded white streak under my eyes. Would not repurchase.

Nov. 12, 2009
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- The University of New Mexico women's basketball program announced today that four prospective student-athletes will be enrolling at the University of New Mexico in the fall of 2010. Signed letters of intent were received from Brianna Taylor (Amarillo Palo Duro High School/Amarillo, Texas), Jasmine Patterson (Amarillo Palo Duro High School/Amarillo, Texas), Tina Doughty (Granbury High School/Granbury, Texas) and Erin Boettcher (Carondelet High School/Concord, Calif.) during the early fall signing period.
Brianna Taylor, a 5-5 guard from Amarillo, Texas, joins the Lobos from Amarillo Palo Duro High School. Taylor last season was a District 3-4A first-team player in Texas. Taylor averaged 9.9 points and 5.1 assists per game last year for head coach A.J. Johnson at PDHS.
Head Coach Don Flanagan on Taylor, "Brianna is a left-handed guard with good speed and an strong understanding of the position. She is strong physically and has great vision on the court."
Jasmine Patterson, a 5-7 shooting guard from Amarillo, Texas, joins UNM from Amarillo Palo Duro High School. Patterson, who is a teammate of Taylor, averaged 16.5 points and 4.2 rebounds a game last season for coach Johnson at PDHS. Patterson was the District 3-4A Player of the Year and was a first-team all-District player.
Head Coach Don Flanagan on Patterson, "Jasmine is a quick shooting guard. She has a nice outside shot and has the potential to be a great defender."
Tina Doughty, a 5-10 guard from Granbury, Texas, joins New Mexico from Granbury High School. Doughty was named a Class 4A pre-season All-State player by Texas Basketball magazine this year. Doughty averaged 9.9 points and 10 rebounds as a sophomore.
Head Coach Don Flanagan on Doughty, "Tina is a gifted player with great range. She has been coached by one of the nation's top coaches and it shows. She is very disciplined and with a great work ethic."
Erin Boettcher, a 6-4 post player from Concord, Calif., becomes part of the Lobo family from Carondelet High School. Boettcher averaged 7.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game as a junior. Boettcher helped lead her CHS team to the Interscholastic Federation Division II State Championship game last year.
Head Coach Don Flanagan on Boettcher, "Erin is fundamentally sound and a blue collar player. She plays on one of the top high school teams in California and will help us in the post."
New Mexico closes the early signing period with five total signees including Morgan Toben from Owasso, Okla., who signed on Wednesday.
The current Lobos open the 2010-11 season Friday, November 13, against Northern Colorado in the first round of the preseason WNIT at 7:00 p.m. in The Pit.

Our People
Profile: Preston Rogers
Preston Rogers has always dreamed of one day making it to the NFL. He's not a running back or a wide receiver, yet he likely is the most recognizable, but anonymous, individual on the football field. At 6 feet, 4 inches tall and 185 pounds he can easily be seen from anywhere in Davis Wade Stadium, rushing to make sure everything is where it needs to be and that the student equipment managers are getting their jobs done.
When the Pascagoula senior arrived on campus for his freshman year, he took the first step toward his goal of working professionally in equipment management. One of his first orders of business was to meet with athletics equipment manager Phil Silva about a job. He quickly was tagged with the nickname "Stick" for his tall, lean frame when he began working with the football team. He now serves as assistant to the coaches and is responsible for making sure equipment is organized and available for practices and games.
However, his journey hasn't been without some bumps along the way. In 2005, his family lost their home to Hurricane Katrina when its roof caved in and was submerged under four feet of water.
"I would not have made it if were not for the people in athletics and what they did for me," Rogers said. "I work with a great group of guys. They are like my brothers, and I have the best boss on campus. We all love what we do. It might get hectic, but it all pays off on game day."
Next week … Trey Breckenridge !

Read Poems by

nostalgic and always present,always watching,in silence staring and un judging,giving neither
aid nor caution.,resiliate and unforgiving,unwavered by time and age,these titans,the walls of
the mind,secure and comforting with their cold blank stare..seemingly ever present,limiting
growth to only within their boundary,deeming the outside alien and unexplored,unreaching
and yet they are the sole defenders of what lies within,keeping secrets of all ages,..solace is
within them..and the unexpected lies beyond,stunted is the mind that thinks only within and
gifted is that that searches beyond,safe is the mind within,open is that that wonders
beyond...the scribes of gathered memories,the ones that always remember that that was
forgotten..they are the graceful hand that raises and the merciless that cuts down. The
judges of the sane and the tormentors of the insane,the dictators of what is outwardly
perceived and the wisperers of delicate secrets,hands of the creative and the tears of the
paranoid,your best and worst friend is these walls.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The University of New Mexico women's swimming and diving team will close out regular season competition this coming weekend. Air Force hosts the 2007 Air Force Diving Invitational this Friday-Saturday, Feb. 2-3, at the Cadet Natatorium in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Lobo divers will participate in this event. The Lobo swimmers will be in Las Vegas, Nev. Feb. 3 competing in their final dual meet of the 2006-07 season against UNLV. Competition for this meet begins at 2 p.m.
Approximately 30 women from eight schools, AFA, Colorado State, Denver, Metro State, New Mexico, Northern Arizona, UNLV and Wyoming, will be competing in the diving invite. There is no team scoring and each diver will perform one list of dives to determine placings.
On Friday, the women open with the one-meter diving followed by the men's three-meter diving. Saturday features the men's one-meter and women's three-meter diving and concludes with the combined platform diving.
Last season the Rebels of UNLV (4-3 MWC) out swam the Lobos to a 133-95 victory in the Seidler Natatorium. The Lobos (6-5 overall, 2-4 in Mountain West Conference competition) have momentum going into the meet, coming off a win over New Mexico State 159-127 last Friday.
Complete results and a recap of Saturday's dual meet will be available on the web at www.golobos.com after the conclusion of the meet.
TOP SWIMMER: Freshman Ashley Grisdale was the top swimmer for the Lobos this past weekend. Grisdale guided the Lobos to a 159-127 victory over arch-rival New Mexico State. She is also this week's Quest Student Athlete of the Week for UNM, marking her first career weekly honor.
Grisdale opened the meet swimming the third leg of the 200-yard medley relay. Teamed with Tori Clarridge, Andrea Zarins and Jenna Syverson, the relay team took first with a time of 1:49.75. Grisdale also touched the wall first in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly with times of 57.84 and 2:04.58. Her time in the 100-yard fly was a season-best for the Lobos and the seventh best in the Mountain West Conference. In Grisdale's final event, she placed second, finishing the 400-yard individual medley just behind Zarins with a time of 4:40.04.
TOP DIVER: Junior diver Carrie Quinn won both of her events against NMSU this past weekend for the Lobos. Quinn was victorious on the 1- and 3- meter springboards with scores of 316.88 and 307.65 respectively. Her score on the 3-meter board was a season-best for the Lobos and is currently the fifth best in the Mountain West Conference.
So far this season Quinn has accumulated a total of nine first place finishes in dual meet competition.
LOOKING AHEAD: After completing dual action competition against UNLV, the Lobos will get ready for the MWC Championships. The championships are set for Feb. 21-24 in Oklahoma City, Okla. Last year the Lobos placed seventh with 285 points. Utah won the championships with 679.5 points. The Lobos brought home three medals, set one school record and twelve season best times.

Purim Foods
The most well-known pastry is associated with the villain of the story.
By Rabbi Robert Goodman
We Also Recommend
Reproduced with permission from Teaching Jewish Holidays: History Values and Activities, by Robert Goodman (ARE Publishing).
Many customs related to eating special foods have developed around Purim. The most famous Purim food is hamantaschen [Yiddish for "Haman's pockets"] which is also known [in Hebrew as] oznay Haman meaning "Haman's ears." In addition to eating hamantaschenfilled with poppy seeds, fruit, cheese, or jellies, other foods are also traditional for Purim.
A special Purim challah, known as keylitsh [kulich] in Russian, is sometimes made. This challah is oversized and extensively braided. The braids on the challah are intended to remind people of the rope used to hang Haman.
Kreplach are customarily eaten whenever "beating" takes place: before Yom Kippur when men have themselves flogged [rarely done in modern times], on Hoshanah Rabbah when the willow branches are beaten, and on Purim when Haman is beaten. The kreplach consist of triangular pouches of dough filled with chopped meat. They are eaten as a separate dish or served in soup.
Bean dishes are also eaten. They include salted beans boiled in their jackets, and chickpeas boiled and seasoned with salt and pepper: This is meant to remind us that Esther would not eat anything at the court of King Ahashuerus that was not kosher, so she mainly ate peas and beans. A similar idea is expressed regarding Daniel and his friends (Daniel 1:12).
Among Sephardic Jews, it is a custom to wrap pastry dough around a decorated hard-boiled egg to create the shape of a Purim character or an animal. After baking, these artistic creations (Folares) are displayed with pride and eaten with delight.

RedHat v9.0 + NForce2 + ATI 9700 Pro
Hi all,
This is my problem: Can't get AGPGART to work on the default kernel that ships with RedHat 9. (2.4.20-8).
Nvidia finally released new NForce drivers for RedHat 9, which do include the source-patch for agpgart to work on NForce chipsets.... but I can't get it to work. Here is what I have done:
1. Install RedHat 9 with kernel source of course.
2. Downloaded NForce drivers for RedHat 9. I chose the source rpm file.
3. rpmbuild --rebuild nvidia.1.0.261blabla.rpm. Rebuilding work great.
4. rpm -ivh nvidia_rebuilt_package.rpm. VIOLA! network and sound works great.
5. So now I want my ATI Radeon 9700 Pro to work in accelerated mode in X-Windows.
6. Since RedHat comes with kernel 2.4.20-8, I figured that the supplied kernelpatch, which is stated to work on 2.4.20 kernel, should work fine.
7. copied the agpgart kernelpatch to the source-dir. Then I did: patch -p1 < kernelpatch.diff. Patching reports Successful on ALL accounts.
8. make menuconfig, include "agpgart" and "nvidia chipset support".
9. make dep
10. make bzImage
11. make modules..... BOOOOM!!! error error. As soon as the module compilation gets to compiling the newly patched agpgart code, it fails in several errors and then exits, leaving me without a working agpgart module.
Can't get further than this..... Anyone got it working and how? Anyone have any ideas of thing to try?
Thanks in advance.
it seems to be no serious problem.
Just comment the line, and the error will be gone.
But I don't know whether it works.:confused:

Bristol man's 200-mile cycle ride in memory of training partner who died after falling into harbour
Posted: May 10, 2013|
THE cycling partner of a man who died after falling into Bristol's Harbourside is set to embark on the pair's planned charity ride to Amsterdam.
Sean Philips, 40, collided with the Balmoral and fell into the freezing water on March 6 close to the M shed. Today, Tom Casey – a friend, colleague and training partner for their charity ride from Kent to the Dutch capital – set off on the trip in Sean's memory.
The 48-year-old told the Bristol Post he was unsure at first about continuing without Sean.
Tom said: "I did not cycle for three weeks afterwards and originally I was not going to do it (the charity ride). But then I decided to go ahead and complete the ride for Sean's chosen charity and for Sean too."
Tom said Sean, who he met through work at mobile-phone service provider Everything Everywhere in Aztec West, persuaded him to take up the challenge.
He said they trained for the 200-mile ride together, with Sean driving from his home in Nailsea to Tom's house in Pill before the two rode to work together in preparation. But on the day of Sean's death, Tom was away, leaving Sean to take a solo route through the city centre.
The front wheel of Sean's bicycle got caught in the old rail tracks in front of the M shed and he collided with the Balmoral, moored next to Prince Street Bridge, before falling into the water.
He was pulled from the water by passers-by, but was pronounced dead at the scene.
It later emerged Sean, a father-of-two who was born with the same condition as Paralympic gold medallist Oscar Pistorius, was training for a charity bike ride to Amsterdam when he lost his life.
Tom said he got to know Sean through work at first but they became good friends outside work. They had children of similar ages and were involved in football. Tom described Sean as a passionate and popular individual.
Tom said: "He had a smile which lit up the room when he walked in."
Sean and Tom were to ride to Amsterdam as part of a team of fundraisers organised by Brookcourt Solutions, raising money for Computer Aid International.
But after a special request, Sean was allowed to raise money with the group for Get Kids Going due to his personal experiences. Get Kids Going is a charity which gives disabled people up to the age of 26 the opportunity to participate in sport.
Tom has adopted Sean's charity and is looking to increase the £8,500 already raised on the Just Giving website.
He sets off from Ashford in Kent today, cycling to Dover, where he will take a boat to Dunkirk. Tom will then ride to Bruges, stay overnight and head to Rotterdam. After another night's rest he will ride to Amsterdam where a train will take him to England. Visit www.justgiving.com/Sean-Phillips3 to donate.
