The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights opened an investigation into Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania on Friday, reviewing allegations that the private liberal arts school has failed at handling sexual misconduct on campus and retaliated against sexual assault survivors.
A group of male and female students at Swarthmore filed a complaint with the OCR against the college in May, claiming the administration fails to properly adjudicate sexual assault. This was in addition to an April complaint with the Education Department, which alleged that the school underreports sexual assault.
On Friday, Rhasheda S. Douglas, a supervisory attorney with the OCR, notified the women and men who filed the May complaint that it will be opened for investigation. The Huffington Post obtained Douglas' notifying letter, and Swarthmore spokeswoman Nancy Nicely confirmed Sunday that the school had also received notification of the inquiry Friday.

A collection of deeply polished bombona, acai, and tagua seeds, are double-strung into a free flowing necklace in Colca. Whether you're walking the shoreline or wandering the city streets, this punctuating piece, handmade in Peru, radiates breezy appeal.
19" long. Mujus' signature material is the tagua seed, which comes from a palm tree that grows in Amazon rainforest. When ripe, the tagua fruit falls to the ground and is gathered and dried by local communities for a period of up to eight months, after which they become extremely hard and ivory-like. Since the seeds are harvested after they have fallen to the ground, there is no damage done to the rainforest during the harvesting process. As no two seeds are alike, each Mujus piece is unique.

Hans Moleman, on Peter Wehner:
President Obama's recent forays into the wider world have been positively Chamberlainesque (although there is no evidence that Chamberlain ever actually bowed to Hitler.) His humble apologies for our sins, his delicate refusal to criticize Iran's warmongering or Saudi Arabia's persecution of women or China's dictatorship, his pious moral equivalence of Israel and Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah. And now the bi-lingual embrace of "mi amigo" Chavez.
Obama's pre-presidential experience can be summed up as effective self-promotion. If he continues to think that the solutions to all problems is "More Obama," then we are all in for a very rough time.

Area Residents Fight Premature Birth
Here's something to make you think: 1 in 8 babies in Maine are born prematurely. It's a startling statistic, and something you don't hear much about. Saturday in Presque Isle, a group of people came together to shed light on this cause. Gina DiPietro has more on the March of Dimes walk.

U.S. senators don't get to pick judges.
Voters do get to pick elected officials.
That makes you, if you're registered to vote and bother to show up today, a judge, a jury and an executioner of sorts in South Carolina's Democratic and Republican primaries.
But before convicting - and evicting - our senior U.S. senator on the charge of betraying conservatism with his votes to confirm liberals Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court, ponder his defense case. Graham gave it again during Saturday night's debate with six GOP challengers in Columbia:
"Elections have consequences. Strom Thurmond voted for 23 Supreme Court justices - voted no twice."
And: "Don't tell the people of South Carolina that we're gonna go to Washington, all of us, and we're gonna lose elections, but the Supreme Court won't change. That's not true."
This, however, is true: The only way to get conservative judges is to elect conservative presidents.
Graham displayed admirable political courage as one of the driving forces in the bipartisan "Gang of 14" senators (seven Republicans, seven Democrats) who forged a 2005 compromise that broke a logjam in President George W. Bush's judicial appointments.
Yes, as state Sen. Lee Bright, R-Spartanburg, pointed out during Saturday night's debate: " 'Advise and consent' does not mean 'automatically approve.' "
That constitutional term does mean, though, that those who fairly decry President Barack Obama's executive power grabs on other issues should remember that judicial nominations are one of his office's legal prerogatives.
Sure, the former constitutional law professor has increasingly ignored that founding document by selectively enforcing the unaffordable Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and immigration laws.
Last week, the Obama administration even overrode congressional will - and authority - by announcing a plan to impose deep new cuts on carbon emissions.
But when Democrats stooped to a successful character-assassination campaign against Judge Robert Bork after President Ronald Reagan nominated him to the Supreme Court in 1987, they were acting not just like constitutional slow learners but like sore losers.
They also triggered a divisive, embittering trend reversing a general Senate tradition of giving presidents wide latitude in choosing judges.
Waa, waa, waa
A sore-loser racehorse co-owner is annoying enough.
After his California Chrome failed to win the third leg of the Triple Crown at Belmont on Saturday, Steve Coburn threw a hissy fit, then reprised his crybaby act with a petulant snit on Sunday.
He apologized Monday. Too bad that was too little, too late.
And too bad too many hardheads in and out of the Senate now routinely "Bork" judicial nominees.
Like it or not, Obama has won the White House twice.
Whether Obama likes it or not, the GOP won the House in 2010, kept it in 2012 and has a good shot at winning the Senate back this year.
Another like it or not:
Graham has won his Senate seat twice. He will win a primary majority today to avoid a runoff. He then will win the general election in November.
Back to Bright: He reeked of his own sore-loser pique Saturday night while whining about Graham spending big money to win the primary.
Heck, Bright should take it as a compliment that Graham felt the need to run this hard.
Bright, fellow challengers and assorted radio hosts and callers also should take a break from the fiction that Graham "voted for Obama-care."
Huh? Along with every other Senate and House Republican, Graham voted against Obamacare's passage.
Yet Bright told the incumbent Saturday night: "Senator Graham, you voted cloture on Ted Cruz when he was trying to keep that budget from coming to the floor that was going to eventually end up with Obamacare being funded."
Reminder: To "keep that budget from coming to the floor," as Texas Sen. Cruz tried to do last September, would have left the GOP again holding the blame bag on a federal shutdown.
OK, so Graham's wrong in his stubborn dismissals of rising alarms about the National Security Agency's electronic snooping on Americans.
He rates praise, though, for repeatedly crossing party lines, starting in Bush the Second's second term, to push for a way-overdue immigration compromise.
Courting a promotion?
Another dim debate pitch from Bright:
"If you want to vote for someone who would vote like Jim DeMint, I'm your guy."
Hey, DeMint was "our guy" until he quit on us in late 2012, with four years left in his second Senate term, to become president of the Heritage Foundation.
So what job might tempt Graham to run out on us, too?
Hmm. He's worked hard to make it easier for presidents to get judicial appointees through the Senate.
And a Republican president just might be looking for a Supreme Court nominee - maybe even a sitting senator who's an Air Force Reserve JAG officer - before Graham's third term ends.

An extratropical
storm is a popular name for two different seasonal events. One
begins with a clash of warm and cold air and results in the
typical winter storm. The second is born when a hurricane leaves
the tropics and transforms itself into a super powerful version
of a winter storm.
The common winter storm is born when a cool mass of air, dropping
down from the Arctic, clashes with a warmer mass of air. The
area where these air masses meet is called a front, named after
the battle grounds of World War I, because it is usually a place
of violent weather commonly associated with fierce wind, rain,
snow, and hail. As these fronts move across the mid-latitudes
of the United States, they produce far ranging winter storms.
hurricane may grow to resemble a powerful winter storm, but
begins life as a tropical storm. Hurricanes tend to move along
specific seasonal paths, known as storm tracks, which relate
to long-standing patterns in atmospheric circulation. One common
storm track begins in the warm waters of the tropics and then
courses up along the eastern seaboard of the United States.
Tropical storms tend to be small and violent, spinning in a
counter-clockwise motion, and measuring about 60 to 300 miles
in diameter, with powerful wind gusts. The faster they spin,
measured by the speed of the gusting air, the more violent and
dangerous they become. The most violent of these storms, when
the wind speeds surpass 74 miles per hour, are identified by
scientists as hurricanes. They are called typhoons in the North
Pacific and the South China Sea, and cyclones in the Indian
When hurricanes leave the warm tropical waters that spawned
them, they become known as extratropical storms. They also tend
to lose their cyclonic spinning action, and spread into enormously
large storms ranging from 620 to 2,500 miles across, with wind
gusts that can reach 50 miles per hour.
In early
March, 1993, weather satellite photos showed a large mass of
cold air moving across North America, down from the North Pole.
This cold mass of air eventually collided with a warmer mass
in the region above the Gulf of Mexico.
line of powerful thunderstorms formed along the front, drawing
energy from the temperature differentials. The size of the thunderstorms
alarmed many of the meteorologists watching the developing storm,
and they began issuing storm alerts as they watched the thunderclouds
combine into an enormous spinning winter storm.
The winter
storm moved onto land during the early hours on Friday morning,
March 12, killing dozens of people, and devastating parts of
the Florida coast. As the storm approached land, high winds
and low pressures carried the sea along with it. High winds
and low pressures can raise the water level in the ocean. This
effect is known as storm surge, and if it gets trapped against
a cove or bay, it can raise the water 10 to 20 feet higher than
normal. Large waves, some up to 40 feet high, can ride on top
of the surge, and come crashing over the shores and deep inland.
The storm then began to climb along the East Coast. As the storm
moved across the eastern seaboard, torrential rains turned into
heavy snows falling from Alabama to New York, virtually paralyzing
the eastern third of the country. The storm eventually spread
and covered more than 2,000 miles. Strong winds, created by
rapidly dropping pressures, blew up and down the East Coast.
Local authorities were totally unprepared for the intensity
of the assault. The interstate highways became impassable and
millions of people lost electrical power. New York City was
brought to a standstill. A foot of snow fell from Alabama to
Maine, and freezing temperatures set new records across the
eastern seaboard.
The final accounting included 243 deaths, and about two billion
dollars in damage. The storm had forced the closure of all the
airports in the eastern United States, and created great chaos.
Nearly 100 million people in 26 states had their lives affected
in ways both great and small by the Storm of the Century.

Dramatic Pictures And Videos Showing The Louisiana Sinkhole Evolution From August 2012 To April 2013
This post presents the dramatic evolution of the Louisiana Sinkhole!
And it is pretty creepy as you will discover!
Reference Bayou Corne Sinkhole
No sinkhole, no water, but just green and trees!
First Bayou Corne Sinkhole Flyover August 13 2012
On Wings Of Care flyover of Bayou Corne, LA. Bayou Corne Sinkhole near Donaldsonville, LA.
Second Bayou Corne Sinkhole Flyover December 24 2012
On Wings Of Care flyover of Bayou Corne, LA. Compare with photos of the same area taken from the same angle and elevation from last August 13, 2012! Is the water level just higher? Or is the sink hole significantly larger?
Third Bayou Corne Sinkhole Flyover January 26 2013
On Wings Of Care flyover of Bayou Corne, LA. Five weeks after our last update of December 24 on the Bayou Corne sinkhole, we are finding that things actually look a bit worse. The water levels seems higher, and the work efforts appears to have subsided. Equipment has been removed, and the homes to the west and northwest of the sinkhole look seriously unpopulated. The recent seismic activity has people and the government concerned, and evacuees cannot expect to be able to return to their homes or communities any time soon.
Fourth Bayou Corne Sinkhole Flyover February 15 2013
On Wings Of Care flyover of Bayou Corne, LA. This video is pretty bumpy, as winds were bouncing us all over the place. There is a lot of human activity in the surrounding area, but no longer much activity in or near the sinkhold itself. The rainbow sheen is unmistakable in the northeast portion of the sinkhole.
Fifth Bayou Corne Sinkhole Flyover March 03 2013
On Wings Of Care flyover of Bayou Corne, LA. The rainbow sheen is away but the sinkhole expands!
Sixth Bayou Corne Sinkhole Flyover April 02 2013
On Wings Of Care flyover of Bayou Corne, LA. The Bayou Corne sinkhole since last August revealed a site much worse than we could have imagined last summer. Unlike previously, rainbow sheen now covers virtually the entire visible sinkhole. Many trees on the west side have now disappeared, as has quite a large corner of a dirt work pad at the southeast corner.
Pictures and videos presented on this page are from 'On Wings Of Care', a nonprofit organization working for a sustainable coexistence between wildlife, wild habitat, natural ecosystems and humans. If you want you can donate for their great work! For other news on the La sinkhole go to La sinkhole bugle blog.
This is actually how the Louisiana sinkhole formed!

If you go to Google maps and zoom in on the area [southeast of Bayou Corne, LA] you should include that original picture for reference (i.e., your first pic). It sure helps in gauging the situation.
Yes, I've made a jpeg image as described. If you would like it to include here, just email me and reference the subject.
Thank you for your help. I added a google map image. But if you want you can send me your jpeg at email@example.com
All the best,

Sink Hole in Malaysia
Thank you I posted it on the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/weirdsounds
can see you stopped posting recent info about the sinkholes as well. probably because you got lots of info from wings of corrupt care? well the black out is on I presume, I guess? april 2nd? a full out month and we should come back to this site for any reason why? because some stupid kid though he'd show his passion online, until the threat came. jail or shut up? or death? what type of Zionist fear is pending on you? well guess I've had enough of the evil grinned hands in the pocket of money holding religious sinners that know deep in their souls that the jig is up soon, that why all the sinkholes and earthquakes asteroids. remember von braun? paperclip? lol. ya you remember.
[…] LOUISIANA SINKHOLE. I wrote a post on the evolution of this sinkhole from August 2012 to April 2013 here (photos and videos). For other hard to find information visit the Louisiana Sinkhole […]

A Cautionary Tale
For Pamela Monroe, the decision to start college at age 42 seemed simple enough. She'd worked a series of low-wage jobs, mostly in retail. With a college degree, she figured she could land a job that paid better and was more secure.
Monroe quit her job enrolled at the University of Arkansas in Fort Smith, her hometown. She graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in rhetoric and writing, and hopes of becoming a writer of some kind. But the recession that struck the rest of the country in 2006 hit Fort Smith early in the form of layoffs and factory closings.
Monroe applied for the few professional jobs available in town, but was never hired. She continued working retail, including at Victoria's Secret, and in 2009 she decided to get a master's degree in speech pathology. This time around she had a more concrete career plan — she knows clinical speech pathologists who earn over $80,000 a year. But after just a few semesters, a family medical emergency forced Monroe to drop out. Now she finds herself in an even worse state than when she started college — unemployed, and deep in debt. For the past few months, Monroe's mother has paid her rent.
In a manufacturing town where most of the factories are shrinking, Monroe finds her degree to be something of a liability. She no longer mentions it on job applications because she fears potential employers might think it means they have to pay her more. "I think people don't want me now because I do have an education, and most jobs here don't require it," she says. "I owe $45,000 for something that is no use to me whatsoever." For Monroe, becoming a middle-aged college student was a highly speculative gamble that did not pay off. With no employer to help pay her tuition, and no firm career plans for her bachelor's degree in a city where the labor market is dominated by blue-collar work, Monroe found that her plan for college didn't meet her expectations for higher income, nor did it match the hiring needs of local companies.
"To leave work and dedicate years to pay for this on your own?" says Mitchell D. Weiss, a former co-founder of the Center for Personal Financial Responsibility at the University of Hartford. "That's a risk I wouldn't take."

Less Risk, More Reward
Like Pamela Monroe, Deidre Romeo was a single, middle-aged mother with a reasonably low-paying job in a shrinking industrial city. But Romeo also had advantages. Her employer, Abbott Corporation, pays up to $5,000 in tuition reimbursement for workers returning to school. Romeo also was aggressive about applying for scholarships. She was able to graduate from Granite State College at age 43 with a bachelor's in business management and "minimal" student loans, Romeo says. The degree boosted Romeo's career immediately. She was promoted from an executive assistant to become global communications manager for Abbott. Now Romeo is three semesters away from obtaining her MBA, and she is considering an associates degree in engineering. Both degrees could help her advance even farther up Abbott's corporate ladder, possibly including a move to the company's office in Shanghai.
"It's paid off financially and in terms of personal satisfaction," says Romeo. "I don't worry about paying my bills now."
Many middle-aged people might feel they have disadvantages compared to traditional college students in terms of higher living expenses, children and greater time demands. But Romeo's example shows a key advantage that many middle-aged students enjoy: The ability to find an employer that will help pay for continuing education. "For middle-age students, ideally you want to go to school on someone else's dime," says Weiss. "You don't want to do it speculatively, taking all this risk yourself and hoping it's going to turn out."
The Changing Face of College
As millions of middle-aged students decide that college is a risk they're willing to take, the face of college is gradually changing. Columbus State Community College in Columbus, Ohio, has seen the number of students age 50 and over jump by 28 percent to almost 1,500, the fastest-growing age group.
With so many older students enrolling, "Our median age has gone up the last couple years, for the first time that anyone can remember," says Will Kopp, a spokesman for the college.
Edie Charles, 46, plans to graduate from Columbus State in 2013 with an associate degree in criminal justice before moving on to a bachelor's from Ohio University. Charles works for the Ohio Department of Transportation, which reimburses all of her tuition and textbook costs. As a state employee for the last 23 years, Charles will be eligible to retire at age 53. After that she's hoping her degree will help establish her in a second career as a criminal investigator.
That transition will be made easier because she will graduate with no student loan debt. Without support from her employer, Charles probably never would have returned to college.
"As a single parent, I'm fortunate to have a stable job and make a decent living," Charles says. "But I don't know if I'd do it if I had to incur loan debt at this point in my life."

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, author Nigel French shows how to use textures to create visual interest, heighten realism, and add dimension to Photoshop artwork. The course demonstrates how to apply multiple filters and paint in effects with layer masks, combine textures with images using layer blending modes, use brushes to paint in and accentuate texture, and create brush presets by sampling textures from photographs. The course also shows how to automate the application of textures with actions.
Still in presets land and in automation land there is one other topic that I need to tell you about, that relates to textures and that is Texture styles. As you know we have these styles they are predefined combinations of layer effects and Photoshop comes with some predefined textures styles. So I'm going to load them and I'm going to click OK to replace my existing styles with those textures.
And if I hover over them I'll get a tooltip telling me what they are I can just click to apply them. If you want to see how these are made up most of them depend upon combination of Color Overlay, Gradient Overlay and Pattern Overlay and if I look at the Pattern Overlay we see in this case we're using a wood oak pattern sample which is one of patterns that comes with pattern presets and this are all your pattern presets.
In this case it sampled up to 333% which is wide I'm going to look a little bit on the blurry side because it's being up sampled I don't has a color overlay and gradient overlay and in combination we get this I guess somewhat would oak like texture. In this case though what I'm going to do is delete that one, let's suppose I have this new clothing line and I like to very quickly apply some textures to both the text and my background label.
So starting out with the text, I'm going to apply the denim style to that, just click on it like so then I'm going to click on the layer beneath it and now rather then apply one of the styles I use one of the predefined actions. So in my Textures Actions I'll have parchment paper, click play and I need to actually put in these values so Canvas 71, 1, Light Direction= Top.
And in addition to that I think I would just want to add one other thing to the textures style made up of color overlay, gradient overlay and pattern overlay, I think you also need a drop shadow. So when we add one we can just make that 9 pulp out bit more and I'm going to make this shadow a hard shadow by pumping up the spray to 100%, dragging to determine the direction of the shadow and there is our result, Using a combination of a predefined textures style and a predefined texture action.
Now while these may not be the most sophisticated textures you've ever seen, they can sometimes be a good starting point for your explorations with texture.

leapfrog tablet
wayne 49 Views
Leapfrog makes a wide variety of children's educational games from infants all the way up to mid elementary school (around ten years old). These games are popular with both children and parents for their educational value as well as entertainment. While there are lots of single self-contained toys, their most popular venues have been games […]
Full Description
The first generation of console systems to be released was the Leapster family of systems. The L-Max, original Leapster, Leapster 2, and Leapster Explorer all fall under this category. With the exception of the Explorer, all the cartridges are cross compatible with each system. A game labeled L-Max would also work in the Leapster 2 system. The older Leapster games are blue in color; the Explorer games are bright green. Leapfrog color coded the games for easy identification. Each system was released around 2 years apart; as a result each system has noticeable technological advances. However, since each system is built to last, older systems still work well but are remarkably inexpensive.
The Leapfrog tablet systems are called the LeapPad. There are currently 3 versions. The original LeapPad (also referred to as the LeapPad 1), the LeapPad 2, and the newest is the LeapPad Ultra. These systems were released about a year apart from each other beginning in 2010. These are now more popular than the Leapster family of systems because of the popularity of the iPad and other tablets. Since these systems were released closer together, there is less of a noticeable technology difference although some of the features, such as memory and megapixels of the camera, have been upgraded.
When in the market for a new Leapfrog product, be sure to visit www.myleappad.com. Here you will find reviews and overviews from the parents of 3 small children. In addition to reviews, find ways to get the most bang for your buck. This is the best way to make sure you are getting a quality product you know will suit the personality of the child that you are purchasing for.

If your rugby boots are hanging off your feet then it could be time to invest in a new pair. If you are looking for a good pair of boots that will see you through the rugby season, then there are some things that you need to be aware off. The wrong pair of boots can hurt your feet or worse, make you miss that all-important try!
The first thing that you need to remember is that fashion isn't everything. It is all too easy to be dazzled by the 'big names' in the boot industry and compromise your own comfort in order to impress your friends. Performance, safety and comfort are far more important than the brand name. This means that you can get some great cheap rugby boots that are sometimes better than the more expensive, branded names.
You will need to consider what type of ground you are intending to play on. Whether this is soft, firm or hard will make a great difference to the type of boot that you buy. Each type of boot has different stud layouts, different upper materials and so on. It is going to be unwise and probably painful to use soft ground boots on a hard ground pitch and vice versa.
Now you have thought about the playing surface the next big consideration, and probably the most important of all, is comfort. You need to make sure that the boot is the correct size and shape for your foot. When you try on a boot there should be a gap between the end of your big toe and the toe of the boot in order for your foot to be able to move freely. This gap should ideally be just less than a centimetre. Also you should make sure that it is a snug fit when the laces are tied and that it provides adequate padding, particularly to the arch of the foot.
Boots come in various materials, the most common being leather and man-made synthetic, with the two often being combined into one boot. Although leather boots remain the most popular, and more expensive, you must remember that leather expands and contracts in different weather conditions. A combination of leather and synthetic materials can make for cheap rugby boots and be more suitable for all weather conditions. However, leather boots give you a better 'feel' for the ball, which can be lost with synthetics. This is something you will have to decide upon for yourself.
The type of studs that the boot has is also going to be very important. It should be possible for them to be unscrewed and changed if required. Studs also come in a number of different forms; they can be rounded or bladed for example. Also remember that your feet get use to the position of the studs on the boot so if you change to a brand which has a different stud layout, it may take a month or so to get used to the feel of the new boots.
Having said that fashion isn't everything and that safety and comfort are of prime importance, some boots can give you a psychological edge. If you find that the best boot for you is one of the top brands, then so be it. The point to remember is don't decide on looks alone, but the look of the boot is important to you, include that in your decision. After all, they're your boots and your choice.
And there you have it – a basic guide to buying cheap rugby boots that should help narrow down your choices. Remember that safety and comfort are top priorities followed closely by performance. A good, perfectly fitting boot will help your game and protect your feet at the same time. If buying online from a specialist such as www.lovellrugby.co.uk, don't be afraid to send the boots back if they aren't quite right. It is better to take a while finding just the right boot than end up causing yourself an injury.

Quote daneerose: G'Morning Laners I saw the Canadian epi for today. I really like it. I like Lily having a friend sort of. Abby was a little bit of a busy body trying to make Lily doubt Cane. I also loved the fact that Abby's insights had nothing to do with Head. Hilary is definitely a head case though. I am still on a Lane high after watching that Lane love scene and family time. So sexy! Long Live Lane!
Anny, while I love Lily having a female friend to talk to, I am not so sure that this chatty chick is the one I want that close to her. Colleen was more supportive in a nurturing, friendship w/o all this continued chattiness. Abby reminds me of an insensitive airhead who states her case but keeps digging the knife into a stab wound w/o knowing when to stop w/o killing the person. That kind of airhead Chatty Cathy I can do w/o. Overall, seeing Lily converse w/ a female close to her own age outside of the family circle is a good thing. Loved how she has mastered the business & marketing lingo. Glad she is going to be a competent businesswoman after all the misery she has been thru. I love it!!
This pairing has been thru so much over the years and have emerged together. I've no doubt they will again. So happy to see them represent some realism in a genre that has resorted to sensationalism (for the most part) to get eyes on the screen.
Love and support for the best couple in Daytime. I see our couple is about to head into and adventure sl that they will be driving. Love it can hardly wait it has been along time coming.
Morning my Lane Sistas! I actually enjoyed the Lily scenes yesterday. I love how they are writing Lily as a smart business woman. They seem to be giving her more depth. I also like her forming a friendship. I wish it was someone other than Abby because of many things. But I will take her since she is the only available.
Oh by the way I meant I love Christel. I like EH she's okay!
Another thing Laners! I suggest we keep the posting about Lily and Lily only in the non bash Lily thread. When we post about the other (which I am guilty of)we give significance to the insignificant!
Good afternoon Laners, hope you are all well. I just watched thursday's epi with the twins again, and boy Cane and Lily's love scenes seem to be getting alot more steamier. DG & CK look really good together and those twins top it all off.
Where hope grows, miracles blossom. — Elna Rae
Lily & Cane are a miracle of hope for anybody who has watched and become involved in their story of survival. It is my constant hope that they will survive this current onslaught of invaders & continue to be a beacon of light and hope for viewers who like a good measure of realism in their soaps. Lily & Cane's twins are miracle babies but their union is a miracle family! Luv you much, Ashby family; and I will holler at you agai later in the evening.
Anny, I try my best to steer clear of any outside annoyances b/c as soon as I respond directly to any one of them, a mod will be threatening me w/ being banned. My motto is to post my thoughts and move on.
Good night, Ashby family! Luv you much and I will holler at you again on tomorrow. Sleep well tonight wherever you are. Can hardly wait to see all of you together again.

Comments about PowerNow Standard 40V MAX 1.25 Ah Lithium-Ion Battery:
Oregon offers 3 battery sizes for their outdoor power tools. The smallest (this 1.25amp) has a short runtime but it is a full pound lighter than the other two (the 2.4amp and 4.0amp). Unless you have physical weight limitations don't waste your money on this l.25amp battery. It powers my weedeater (the ST275) just barely long enough to mow my small lawn. It charges fast though...less than an hour on the standard charger. Buy the 4amp model. It costs more but will be cheaper in the long run, and you won't find yourself frustrated, waiting for the battery to charge so you can finish your job. You would need two of these 1.25amp batteries on hand to get most any job done.
All registered OREGON PowerNow 40V Max* Cordless Tools and Accessories are warranted for a period of two (2) years from original date of purchase, ninety (90) days if used for commercial purposes. This limited warranty applies to all OREGON PowerNow brand manufactured parts.

Awesome product for the price why buy $140 asv levers when you could buy 20 motion pro levers for less. If you break that many levers you may want to look into a new hobbieRead All Reviews

I kept purchasing MSR shifters for my CR and it always seemed like they were very close to the ignition cover. Thought it was just my fault (bike is old ). However, after purchasing tusk, I don't think I'll buy anything other again. It fits snug, tightens down, no movement and the best of all - it has the clearance you would find in an OEM shifter! Great product - haven't had the chance to test the durability yet, but it seems just as sturdy as an MSR.Read All Reviews

It's a brake level - unless you have the unbreakable or never lay your bike down, this will probably bend or break. But it's good quality for the price and has surprised me in some instances. Black looks pretty cool also!Read All Reviews

People seem to be having problems stripping out the aluminum teeth. Put thread lock on the teeth and tighten like normal, give it a few hours to fully dry, this will help it from stripping. Otherwise, its pretty much a prettier stock replacement, nothing special besides looks.Read All Reviews

Dobie's Muffins and
Recipe By : Dobie
Categories: Breads & Things
1/4 cup flax seed -- grind -
should make 1/2 cup ground
1/4 cup protein powder
2 tablespoons oil
1/4 cup artificial sweetener -- splenda is best
1 egg -- beaten
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons banana extract -- or flavor of choice
1/4 teaspoon salt substitute -- gives potassium
1 ounce chopped nuts -- optional
1/2 cup water
Mix the above, let sit for a
few minutes to thicken if necessary. Spoon into 6 non-stick (I
spray with pam) muffin tins.
Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
ASKED QUESTIONS Posted by Kay >^..^<
Q: Where can I get the flaxseeds?
A: At a health food store. Usually in section where 'bulk' products
are sold.
Q: How do I grind them?
A: Use a coffee grinder. A blender also works. And some stores
sell them already ground, as
'flaxseed meal'
Q: Do I measure the flax seeds before or after grinding?
A: After.
Q: Where do I get protein powder?
A: Health food store. GNC. There are many, many brands and varieties.
Always remember you want
protein powder with the lowest carbs, hopefully 0 carbs.
Q: What is Splenda, and where can I get it?
A: Splenda is a sugar substitute, made from sugar, which is basically
not 'recognized' by the
body, so it kind of just 'passes' right through, unnoticed. You
can get it in stores if
you live in Canada. In the USA, you must order online at www.splenda.com
for the time being.
When you get to the splenda website, click on the "Message
to people with
diabetes" to get to the order form. Rumor has it this wonderful
product will be distributed to
stores starting the end of the year (we can only hope!!).
Q: My muffins were too hard. What did I do wrong?
A: Did you remember to add the water? (Don't laugh; people have
Q: The muffins seem bland.
A: So, add more extract --- everyone has different taste. You
can pretty much have a zillion
different flavors of muffins. Try maple flavoring, or pineapple
with a dash of rum
extract & unsweetened coconut (pina colada! Ole!). How about
spice: cinnamon, nutmeg, a pinch of
ground cloves. How about adding some peanut butter? Or some
unsweetened cocoa? Or orange. A good place online to get different
flavored extracts is
Q: Can I use an artificial sweetener (such as Sugar Twin or Equal)
other than Splenda?
A: Sugar Twin should work okay, but Equal breaks down in the
heat when you bake the muffins and
therefore is not recommended . Splenda is definitely the sweetener
Q: Can I use packets instead of measure/spoonful/granular sweetener?
A: Packets don't seem to give as good results. You can always
try it, but for best results, use
the measure/spoonful/granular kind.
Q: Can I use Soy Flour instead of protein powder?
A: Yes, but some people do not like the taste as well. Feel free
to try it if you don't have a
problem with the taste of Soy products. Also, realize that soy
flour has carbohydrates,
and you will need to add them to the carb count for your muffins.
Q: Can I use any protein powder?
A: Any protein powder should work. The main types of protein
powder are made with Soy, Whey or
Egg. Some protein powders use a blend of two or three of those.
powder can be found in a variety of flavors and unflavored. The
base recipe calls for unflavored
protein powder, but feel free to experiment with flavors to your
Q: What is the proper consistency of the muffins once they have
been cooked? Do they have a
bread-like texture? Just wondering what to expect when I have
gotten it right.
A: If you measure the flax seeds before grinding, the results
will still be very good, but
produce a much more dense muffin. When the flax seed is measured
after grinding
(which is what you are supposed to do), the result will be much
better: very moist, with a
texture similar to a fluffy wheat bread.
Q: Can I use Flax Seed Oil instead of Flax Seeds?
A: NO. You can not use the oil. The ground flax seeds make up
much of the bulk of the muffins
and is essential to the recipe. Plus, the seeds provide much
needed fiber.
Q: Can I use Atkins Bake mix instead of protein powder.
A: Yes, just make sure to adjust the carb count, since the bake
mix contains more carbs than the
protein powder called for in the recipe.
Q: Dobie says to let the batter sit to thicken, but how long
should I let the batter sit?
A: it only takes a few minutes to thicken up. It should be noticably
thicker just in the time
between dropping the first spoonful of batter into the muffin
pan and the last spoonful.
Make sure you grind the seeds very well, into a pretty smooth,
fine powder. It also works best
to mix the dry ingredients first, then add the wet ingredients.
Q: Can I eat Dobie's muffins on the induction diet?
A: Yes, just be sure to count the carbs. The carbs Dobie has
listed are the "bioavailable"
carbs. That means the fiber carb count has been subtracted from
the total carb count.
You are allowed to count the resulting number as the amount of
carbs that are in the muffin.
Depending on the exact extracts, spices, nuts, etc. you put in
the muffins, the
"bioavailable" carb count can vary from around 1 carb
to about 2 carbs per muffin. Note: Dobie
has researched the carb count in the ingredients, especially
the flax seeds, even
talking with the Flax Seed Council to verify the carb count.
She is very comfortable with the
carb count she has listed. As always, however, feel free to adjust
the carb count to
your own calculations if you're more comfortable with a different
number. Just remember to count
Q: Is it OK to use cupcake 'papers'?
A: NO!! If you do, the muffins will stick to the paper, and you'll
'lose' quite a bit of the
And, some afterthoughts:
Best of all, remember you can experiment with whatever you like.
I strongly suggest your first
batch be made exactly as the recipe says so you have a good idea
what the
muffins are like when made Dobie's spectacular way. After that,
modify to your heart's (or
stomach's) content and share your experience.
Also, if you want to bake the batter in a loaf pan, go ahead;
it works great that way too.
And, for total decadence, why not mix cream cheese, vanilla extract,
Splenda & a bit of cream to
make cream cheese frosting for the muffins / loaf???

Jeremy Elkins' interests are primarily at the intersection of political and legal theory, and the study of institutions. He has written on the idea of constitutional rights, on the relation of popular sovereignty and constitutionalism, and on the nature of legal rules, and is currently writing on the function of war as a metaphor in domestic and foreign policy, and on a book about our competing commitments to the idea of law. His courses in public law (e.g., Constitutional Law, Administrative Jurisprudence) explore, in the context of particular legal controversies, broad themes of democratic theory—including the problem of how political regimes should treat various kinds of differences and various kinds of hierarchies, the relation of law and politics, and the nature of rights in the modern state. He also teaches a variety of courses in political theory, philosophy, and philosophy of law/jurisprudence, among them courses on Hegel; Nietzsche; the nature of law; democratic theories and problems; problems of modernity; constitutionalism; and sacrifice.

Work Force Youth Program
Nature and Purpose
Founded in 1984, The Work Force Youth Program is a program of the Cambridge Housing Authority's Resident Services Department. The Work Force strives to foster the personal and professional growth of teens in public housing by helping them to gain the competencies they need — at home, school, and work — to create their own pathways to educational and economic success. Uniquely comprehensive, The Work Force's five-year model:
- Supports the transitions from 8th to 9th grade, and from 12th grade to college or employment.
- Offers after-school workshops over the 5-year program, to instill critical social, educational, and vocational competencies.
- Weaves a web of support across a range of individuals and institutions, giving teens a reassuring model of adult cooperation.
- Maintains program sites in the three largest CHA housing developments, close to participants and their families, reaching about 45 teens at each site.
- Provides case management for each teen, tracking progress through Individual Development Plans.
- Exposes qualified participants to paid work experiences with a variety of local employers.
The Work Force uses a five-year, competency-building curriculum from 8th grade through high school, preparing each participant for success in a rapidly changing world. The program addresses the "whole person" through three integrated areas of skill building in two 14-week cycles during the school year:
- Personal values and choices — including critical thinking and effective decision-making, at home, school and work.
- Educational development — via on-site homework centers and computer labs with one-on-one tutoring, MCAS and SAT prep classes, a Summer Literacy camp, college counseling, local and national college visit trips, and a college scholarship program.
- Employment skills — work experience during high school, workshops on job readiness and career options, basic financial literacy and management of personal finances.
Highlights of The Work Force program's impact include:
- 100% high school graduation rate
- Almost 80% participant retention for the full 5 years
- Over 95% retention rate at try-out job placements
- Over 95% of teens are assessed by employers as having mastered job competencies
- Nearly 95% of participants enroll in college or a technical program upon completing the program
Serving as mentors and tutors, PULSE students will work in collaboration with staff at each site to provide homework assistance, tutoring, and classroom to WF participants, and will help them to prepare for the college experience. This work will require PULSE volunteers to be on site two afternoons a week, where they will work closely with each site's Teacher-Counselor and Learning Center Coordinator. Primary responsibilities will include the provision of one-on-one and group homework assistance, the development and maintenance of homework packets, assistance in the classroom, and the monitoring of each site's computer lab.
In providing homework help, PULSE students will partner with one or two youth until WF workshops are completed at 5:00, and then will assist in a group homework instruction until sites close at 6:00pm to 6:30pm. To facilitate a strong tutoring match, PULSE students can request to work with the same youth for the semester, or for the entire year, upon advisement from WF staff.
PULSE students will also have other opportunities to mentor students. Opportunities to develop relationships outside of the tutoring process — such as involvement in local college trips, or student-centered community service events — will be strongly encouraged. Working closely with the Program Director and each site's Teacher-Counselor, PULSE students will be required to develop and propose such group mentoring activities within a predetermined timeline.

Study: Nicotine withdrawal impairs memory
CORPUS CHRISTI - Blackened lungs and the threat of cancer never scared eight-year smoker Skylar Massey into quitting the habit.
It was her love of scuba diving, coupled with her involvement in a recent study, that kept her from lighting up again. Massey participated in a study conducted by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi's psychology department showing long-term tobacco use causes structural changes in the brain -- mostly areas related to memory.
When one withdraws from nicotine, even for a short period, the brain doesn't function at its normal level because it is accustomed to the nicotine, said Paul Merritt, assistant professor of psychology at the university.
"The goal of the study was to see if memory was affected," he said. "And it was. One thing we saw is that people had a hard time focusing. Their memory was affected, and it wasn't people just not paying attention. There was a reduction in memory by 20 percent."
The type of memory mostly affected was episodic memory, Merritt said. The study tested episodic, short-term and working memory. Episodic memory is defined by memories of events such as what you did yesterday or 20 minutes ago, Merritt said. Short-term memory is limited to holding information for 15 to 20 seconds and working memory is more complex such as remembering a phone number while completing another task, he said.
Twenty-five adults ages 18 to 35 were studied. Each person was given a series of tests -- once while they still were smoking regularly and once after they abstained from smoking for 24 hours. The tests included memory tests at the university in which subjects were given words to memorize and other tests in which the subjects were asked to divide their attention between numbers and letters.
Twenty-three of the 25 participants showed a decrease in memory after they had abstained from smoking, according to the study. Merritt said the majority of subjects complained they felt spacey and forgetful after cessation. The study was funded by the Texas Research Development Fund.
"What happens is your brain comes to rely on that nicotine when you're smoking -- it basically rewires itself through a chemical process," Merritt said. "This will help us understand people's ability to quit and understand the continued use of tobacco. Does this hamper the individual from quitting smoking? That's the next step in our research."
Massey, 25, said the study made her quit the habit immediately.
"My spatial-visual relationship was way off," the marine biology junior said. "My reaction to the tests were slow. It was pretty interesting, but it makes you think. I want to be a scuba diver for a living and my lungs need to be healthy. I had to quit anyway. I might as well do it now."

text: I just found out I'm pregnant :shock: . Totally unplanned. I have a 12 year old son and thought I was done with having kids...guess not! Anyway, I've been taking plaquenil since February. I take what looks like a small dose (200mgs day) and honestly am not very good about taking it recently because I really don't feel like it's done anything (my arthritis is as bad as ever and the rash went away briefly only to come right back). I stopped all my meds as soon as I found out (I also take Ritalin, Synthroid and Lamictal) but I've read most of the damage is done in the first trimester. Has anyone gotten pregnant while taking plaquenil and if so, did everything turn out ok?
