Do not confuse insanity with evil."
I agree 100%!.
She got off easy, not the lil baby boy!.
He was innocent, but she (his own mom) gave him the death penalty!. Not even did she give the child a decent burial!.
She could have been just playing around. Young people do some silly things these days and it may have been a freak accident. I don't think she would've done it purposely. Prayers to her family.
What a sad thing. What should have been two wonderful celebrations,turned into a nightmare. I'm sure she was thrilled over her baby and having a baby shower,and all the graduates that EARNED there right to celebrate to only turn into something so horrible that it will be etched in their minds forever!. It can't get any worse,can it?.
Snitch?,your d*mn tooting i would,in a heart beat!.
The good are suffering too much for the bad to just let these killers walk!.
Silent cry
I'm sorry but 21 wks. that BABY has a heart, can cry and suck it's thumb and is HUMAN. I've heard horror stories from women that actually heard their baby cry during an abortion and they have a hard time living with that now. Good for them. My daughter worked for a doctor that did abortions and she said the same thing,some of those babies cry before they are killed. My girl couldn't deal with it long and quit asap. I love kids!,especially babies!. The best years of my life was when i was pregnant carrying my kids(3 of them). There's nothing that can even compare to a true mothers love. I enjoyed and still enjoy my kids and would do it all over again if i had a chance.
You know what's really a d*mn shame?. Blacks did all that marching with Martin L. King to finally get their freedom and equal rights and to not have to live in fear any longer. And guess what?. They are living in fear of their own people!. Where's all the marching and standing up against these thugs?. Where's the we shall over come stuff. If you keep being afraid and not standing up to them, they will KEEP you in fear. I can see no difference now than it was then, fear wise....nobody sees anything,now that's really sad!. Take your streets back from these lil ole punks and show them you're not afraid. Back them up into a corner,remember "UNITED WE STAND"?!. And for those that say about the murderers,oh but they're some body's child and this and that. Keep protecting their dumb azs's and feeling sorry for them. And when you serve as a juror,remember WWJD to a murderer.They are ruining your lives and most condone their behavior!. My prayers to the family.
Ready here too, i did my hurricane shopping early.That sounds strange huh?,hurricane shopping?. Well,it's true though and i never wait til the last minute for those things. I also always freeze 4 or 5 gallons of milk,lots of bottled water,besides lots of ice containers,even freeze loaves of bread, i over cook during the winter so to have lots of home cooked meals in gallon ziploc bags too. Oh yeah,i forgot to say i purchased a large chest type non frost free freezer(i want the ice to build up) and with the generator if nothing else at least we won't starve and have to go through he!! running around looking for a grocery store. A coleman stove is nice to have along with a barbecue pit just in case it's needed also. After we ALL went through with Katrina,everyone should be well prepared for the next one. It's early enough to get yourself together and not have to depend on others for anything.Hopefully they'll never be another, but that's only wishful thinking. Be prepared and stay safe everyone.
I'd say i hope he would live up to his name but......
Weed the bad guys out Normand til you get the force you can depend on. It's not your fault that there are rotten apples every where and i'm sure if you'd have known they were, you would have gotten rid of their butts long ago!. You're a good guy Norm,just like Harry was....only some dummies can't see it.
These were some good people,even the youngsters who put their lives on the side in order to help comfort others in their great time of need.I don't live in St. Bernard but had the pleasure of meeting some of these wonderful folks over the nearly 4yrs. since the hurricane. I cannot thank you enough for all of the hard work and sweat you guys put in every day. Hope you met many other friendly appreciative people too,you all sure were!.
Thanks again from the bottom of heart, i know you all will be Blessed!.
Oh!,but mrchulin...you have said the word THEY!. Who are THEY?. Actually i'm JK with ya.I think EVERYONE is getting VERY VERY disgusted with this crap. It's at a point where even i am hoping they hurry up and rid each other and that's bad for me!. But innocent people are fed up and NOTHING IS BEING DONE!. Of course the big Chief says crime is down!!! and the TRAVELER could care less!!!,hope he takes big Chief with him to tim buck two next time and they both get lost.
Two sick puppies for sure!.
The poor kids could be mentally ill because of those two goofballs!,they look spaced out and like they could care less about anyone.
I agree with the adopt thing kikiigirl,but do you know i have gone twice to shelters to adopt a pup and was refused cause my yard was not fenced in!. Even though i told them i would keep my pet indoors and would use a leash to bring it out once in a while to potty, they still turned me down. I felt that the only way i could get a pet was to look in the pet ads and buy one. And i did,i would have grown too old and grey waiting on a shelter to let me adopt. I'm sorry but i could not afford to fence in 2 acres of land for a dog that is only a few pounds!. My new baby is the light of my life :) and gets the best of everything,no abuse here that's for sure. If people cannot control their animals,i wonder if they really need one!. Raise your pet as you would your child,make it behave and DON'T abuse animals. If your not sure your pet will stay in the fenced yard,you can bet it won't!. It's called being RESPONSIBLE pet owners. They learn what they're taught.
Animals are animals and so are some people that kill. They both fight for blood. I'd more or less would want to be attacked by a chihuahua than a person or say a pit bull or large dog. I'm happy about the bill. Now if they would only do something about these coyotes running around in Louisiana and multiplying like rabbits. I'm tired of them coming directly into my yard at night eating my pet's food!. Who do i sue if i or my family gets attacked by those critters!,and it does happen.
Dear God,New Orleans needs help real bad!.
I don't know that SweetPapa but i bet the media circus is gonna have a ball with that!.
Wait folks, everyone's opinions count of course,but this is only one side of the coin so far. Have a lot more flipping to do and then the fun really starts!.
Legalize weed?. They're trying to end cigarette smoking,i'm sure they'll legalize weed!. No matter how you slice and dice it,it is still a DRUG.It wouldn't stop the killings any way. You look the wrong way and pop,your dead!. They'll kill ya for a dollar or less. Come down to reality and stop and think long and hard about legalizing drugs. That's what's ruining our world now!. Prescription medication is supposedly controllable,right?. Look at how it is being abused big time. There's more addicts walking around flying high on MEDICATION than you can shake a stick at. Just what we need,more zombie,thieving,robbing killing nuts on the street legally!.

Say Again Page 2
In addition to "out," "over" and "I hear" or "I copy," there are several other useful prowords you should learn to use when conversing on the radio:
Say again: repeat your last transmission.
Say again all after( ): repeat your last transmission starting with the word or phrase ( ).
Stand by: Cease transmissions but monitor this channel.
Standing by: Affirmative reply to a request to stand by. It is not necessary to state the channel, unless it is different from the one on which you are communicating. Instead of saying "out," some people like to sign off by saying, "Standing by on channel 16." This is not necessary. It is understood you will return to 16 unless another channel is designated.
Roger: Indicates agreement. If it is a reply to instructions, it indicates compliance.
Affirmative and negative: These are best used rather than "yes" or "no."
Emergency procedures
The popular proword "Mayday" (from the French m'aidez for "help me") is overused, if not abused. It is not to be used when you run out of fuel. Mayday indicates you are in a life-threatening emergency and require immediate assistance. When making a Mayday call, state your vessel's name, its position, the nature of the emergency and the number of people onboard.
"Pan-Pan" (pronounced "Pon-Pon") indicates a potentially life-threatening emergency and that you would like others to monitor your status until the situation is resolved. In many cases, people making Mayday calls should instead be making Pan-Pan calls. Again, identify your vessel and its position, and state the nature of the problem and how many are aboard.
If the Coast Guard wishes to work an emergency situation on Channel 16, it will declare "Silence Mayday" (pronounced "See-lonce Mayday," from the French). At this point all other traffic on 16 should cease until the Coast Guard releases the channel. When the Coast Guard reopens the channel it will declare "Silence Fini" ("See-lonce Finee") or "Silence Prudence" ("See-lonce Pru-donce"). Other parties seeking to keep a channel clear for emergency communications should call "Silence Distress" ("See-lonce Distress").
"Securite" (pronounced "Sea-cur-i-tay") indicates you wish to share information concerning safety. For example, when entering an inlet with compromised maneuvering ability, you might hail all stations on Channel 16 as follows: "Securite. Securite. This is sailing vessel Sea Smoke entering Jones Inlet. I am restricted in my ability to maneuver. Please stand clear." It is also a common practice to make periodic Securite calls when operating in the fog, giving your position, course and destination.
Though it's no longer necessary to give your call sign each time you use the radio, it is still a good idea to use it (assuming you have one) when making emergency calls, as it will clearly identify your boat. There may, for example, be a number of Voyagers in the vicinity, but only one Whiskey Romeo Bravo Six Zero Niner Two.
A final point: The controls on a VHF radio are simple, but the squelch control is particularly important. This is used to eliminate static when the radio is on standby. If the squelch is turned up too high, important messages may go unheard. Good practice is to reset the squelch every time you turn on the radio. First turn down the squelch until you hear static. Set your volume control using the static. Then turn up the squelch until the static just disappears. When communicating over long ranges, turn the squelch off.

Rib fracture
|Rib fracture
An X ray showing multiple old fractured ribs of the person's left side as marked by the oval.
|Classification and external resources
|emergency medicine
|807.0, 807.1
|emerg/204 radio/609
A rib fracture is a break or fracture in one or more of the bones making up the rib cage. The first rib is rarely fractured because of its protected position behind the clavicle (collarbone). However, if it is broken, serious damage can occur to the brachial plexus of nerves and the subclavian vessels. Fractures of the first and second ribs may be more likely to be associated with head and facial injuries than other rib fractures. The middle ribs are the ones most commonly fractured. Fractures usually occur from direct blows or from indirect crushing injuries. The weakest part of a rib is just anterior to its angle, but a fracture can occur anywhere. The most commonly fractured ribs are the 7th and 10th. A lower rib fracture has the complication of potentially injuring the diaphragm, which could result in a diaphragmatic hernia. Rib fractures are usually quite painful because the ribs have to move to allow for breathing. When several ribs are broken in several places a flail chest results, and the detached bone sections will move separately from the rest of the chest.
Rib fractures can occur without direct trauma and have been reported after sustained coughing and in various sports – for example, rowing, karting and golf – often in elite athletes. They can also occur as a consequence of diseases such as cancer or infections (pathological fracture).
Fragility fractures of ribs can occur due to diseased bone structure, e.g. osteoporosis and metastatic deposits.
Broken ribs are often indicated by the following symptoms:
- Pain when breathing or with movement
- A portion of the chest wall moving separately from the rest of the chest (flail chest)
- A grating sound with breathing or movement
- Where the mechanism of injury would indicate substantial force to the ribs
Because children have more flexible chest walls than adults do, their ribs are more likely to bend than to break; therefore the presence of rib fractures in children is evidence of a significant amount of force and may indicate severe thoracic injuries such as pulmonary contusion.[1] Rib fractures are also a sign of more serious injury in elderly people.[1]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (May 2011)
There is no specific treatment for rib fractures, but various supportive measures can be taken. In simple rib fractures, pain can lead to reduced movement and cough suppression; this can contribute to formation of secondary chest infection. Adequate analgesia can avoid this.
Flail chest is a potentially life-threatening injury and will often require a period of assisted ventilation. Flail chest and first rib fractures are high-energy injuries and should prompt investigation of damage to underlying viscera (e.g., lung contusion) or remotely (e.g., cervical spine injury).
Spontaneous fractures in athletes generally require a cessation of the cause, e.g., time off rowing, while maintaining cardiovascular fitness.
Treatment options for internal fixation/repair of rib fractures include:
- Acute Innovations RibLoc is a titanium U-shaped plate that is sized to match rib thickness and uses screws that fixate to anterior and posterior of plate and provide fixation without needing bone purchase for screws and without risking damage to the neurovascular bundle. These plates can be contoured to match the rib segment being plated and come in various lengths.
- Judet and/or Sanchez Plates/Struts are a metal plate with strips that bend around the rib and then is further secured with sutures.
- Synthes MatrixRIB Fixation System has two options: a precontoured metal plate that uses screws to secure the plate to the rib; and/or an intramedullary splint which is tunneled into the rib and secured with a set screw.
- Anterior locking plate are metal plates that have holes for screws throughout the plate. The plate is positioned over the rib and screwed into the bone at the desired position. The plates may be bent to match the contour of the rib section.

I'm a newbie when it comes to bike repair/maintenance but i noticed yesterday when i was at the fully loop that my rear wheel does not spin very well. When i flip my bike upside down and spin my wheels, my front wheel will make several rotations before it gradually comes to a stop, however the rear wheel will only make maybe 4-5 rotations and then stops.
what should be some of the first things i check to fix this problem?
btw, i don't believe it's brakes related.

LeBron James drives the lane effortlessly on the way to scoring easy baskets for the Miami Heat. Kevin Love makes racking up rebounds look easy, and finished the 2011-12 NBA season with an average of 13.3 per game for the Minnesota Timberwolves. But even the best players, who make it seem like it is second nature for them to excel near the rim, have to fear coming down awkwardly on their feet and injuring their ankles.
A New York-based shoe company called Ektio, established in March 2009, was created for the specific purpose of preventing ankle injuries on the basketball court, via revolutionary ankle support technology found within its shoes. Later this month, Ektio will announce the launch of a new shoe, "The Breakaway," which improves upon previous Ektio models through enhanced comfort, performance and ease of use. The new shoe is currently scheduled to be released to the public on February 1, 2013 at a retail price of $129.95 on Eastbay.com, Amazon.com, and Ektio.com.
"Ankle injuries are the number one injury in basketball and the most common orthopedic injury in the world," said Dr. Barry Katz, CEO of Ektio. "Players that experience one sprain increase their chances of future sprains by up to 35%. Our technology really exposes the weakness and deficiency of other basketball shoes in regards to providing even the most basic level of ankle support. As a result, players are forced to wear braces or tape with other shoes, and we still see a very high incidence of sprains. Ektio is the best solution to protecting against ankle sprains without the need for tape and braces."
Among the cast involved in Ektio are former New York Knicks guard John Starks and Hall of Famer Rick Barry. Starks is Ektio's promoter and public relations manager, while Barry is a promoter and part of the company's Board of Directors. Both have stock in Ektio.
Starks believes that "The Breakaway" model will not only set the standard for maximum performance and ankle protection in basketball, but also in tennis, volleyball and other sports, as well. "We've taken our product to a whole new level," Starks said. "We're always striving to improve the product, and we've certainly done that with the Breakaway."
A byproduct of an increase in ankle support is balance and stability for the foot and ankle, which is important for consistent outside shooting on the basketball court. Interestingly, a recent survey done by Ektio revealed that 42% of players felt that Ektio shoes improved their outside shooting efficiency compared to their prior sneakers. Not one subject in the study indicated that he lost any accuracy on his shot since wearing the Ektio shoe.
There is nothing traditional about the look and feel of The Breakaway shoe. It contains two inner straps, which bring a person's foot and the shoe together as a single unit, minimizing movement occurring within the shoe, and in turn, attempting to minimize the chances of an ankle sprain. The Breakaway is not a shoe that one can just slip on; it is more difficult to place on a foot than competing basketball shoes. But comfort is not sacrificed. Once feet are placed inside the clinically-tested athletic shoes, which are easily adjustable (after a few times of wearing them), the comfortable, snug fit is appreciated.
Comfort, care and competitive pricing…it is no wonder that Rick Barry said, "I find it difficult to understand why any basketball player would not wear the Ektio shoe."

Beautiful wedding china and heirloom china should be used and displayed. So many people keep their "good" china stored away out of sight, and out of mind in the cupboard. This is a shame. Displaying your china in the dining room can remind you to use it. Displaying the china can also be a beautiful addition to your room design.
There are several ways to display china in the dining room. A china cabinet or hutch can be purchased and placed along the wall to display china and glass ware. Glass doors are essential to see the china and glassware; no more hiding behind closed doors. You can store your everyday plates and glasses in the cupboards with solid doors.
Another way to display china in the dining room can be the simple addition of molding or floating shelves on the walls. Plate molding is common above wainscoting or board and batten molding. This thin molding provides a lip to support plates and platters. Adding shelves with a groove can also create a place to vertically display your china as well as the horizontal space for bowls and serving pieces.
If you have a collection of heirloom china that you do not want to use for serving, you can hang it on the wall for a colorful and patterned wall display. You can do this with inherited china or finds from estate sales. Displaying china on the wall can look both modern and traditional depending on the china and the style of display.

A British bodyguard is taking his former employer, an Arab princess, to an Employment Tribunal over claims of sexual harassment.
The princess, who can only be identified as 'B' for legal reasons, was a heavy drinker and drug user, the Employment Tribunal was told.
The bodyguard, who can only be identified as 'A', was paid £100,000 for his 24-hour protection services. He now fears for his safety, as the princess has a reputation of making threats against those who have crossed her.
Sexual harassment in the workplace is unlawful under UK employment law.
It is described as any form of unwanted verbal, non-verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that has the purpose or effect of violating an individual's dignity, or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment for an individual.
Princess A has dismissed the allegations, calling them scandalous and unfounded. She also said they were an attempt to blackmail her in order to obtain large amounts of cash.
She fears the allegations have been made up in order to stigmatise her in her conservative Muslim society.
The judge banned the princess's identity from becoming public after her lawyer argued that her country is still very conservative, despite the recent calls for reform in the Arab world.

The beds were comfortable and there a nice common space with computers and a terrace to relax and take the breakfast.

Free swimming in Thanet pools
Posted: March 18, 2009|
SWIMMING for those under 16 and 60 years and over will become free from April 1 at Thanet's two public swimming pools.
Young and old will be able to swim free of charge at both Ramsgate Swimming Pool and Hartsdown leisure centre in Margate.
The Government is funding the project and an extra £40,000 has been splashed on the scheme from the NHS.
Thanet council's commercial services chief Cllr Shirley Tomlinson said: "We hope this will encourage more people to get in the swim and get active.
"It's a great boost for local people and I hope, as a result of it, we'll see an increase in the number of people taking part in sport and physical activity."
To qualify swimmers will need to fill out a registration form before the first swim and show proof of age.
Both swimming pools are run by Thanet Leisureforce, which already allows the over-70s to swim for free.
Head of operations, Warren Reeves, said he hoped the scheme would boost Thanet's fitness.
He said: "We are excited about being able to offer this scheme in partnership with Thanet council.
"We are also committed to providing further activities and programmes aimed at increasing the wellbeing and health of the people of Thanet."

Bone-Weary Haulers
Tagged: Driving Safety, Freight Trucking, Owner Operators, Refrigerated Trucking, Road Safety, Semi Trucks, Truck Drivers, Truck Safety, Trucking Articles, Trucking Industry and Trucking News
Thumbs down to Stephen Franklin and Darnell Little, the authors of the Chicago Tribune article Bone-Weary Haulers Raise Risks on Road (subheading: As truckers struggle to make ends meet, they push the limits of endurance and highway safety).
The article, published December 10, 2006, uses anecdotal stories, incomplete statistics and ignorance of the trucking lifestyle to paint truckers as sleepy menaces. A more appropriate title for the article might be "The Hassles Truckers Handle Make Trucking Hard." But that wouldn't be nearly as eye-catching. Read the rest of this entry »

All polar fleece pills a bit without proper care. In order to keep its nice luster, loft, and softness you MUST keep it out of the heat and NEVER use FABRIC SOFTNER. Dry it by either hanging to dry or in a cool dryer and you fleece will stay soft and cozy as the day you purchased it!

I am giving this 4 stars partly just b/c my order was well packed, nicely wrapped, clean, wrinkle free, etc.I was very excited when I as cutting it up into some warm clothing for my baby, b/c it is super soft.But the quality is lacking. Pills soooo badly. Washes ok, faded a little and it is not as soft, but didn't shrink. I would recommend using for low-wear items like hats and scarves, jackets- no good for gloves, booties, pants.

Apple's iPhone 4S Santa Siri ad was the most effective holiday advertisement
Apple's iPhone 4S Santa Siri ad was the most effective advertisement for the holiday season according to ad analysis company Ace Metrix.
Ace Metrix scores ads based on perceived effectiveness by a selection of randomly selected viewers, which it says are "representative of the U.S. TV viewing audience."
Apple's ad scored 652 points out of a total of 950 and beat other huge manufacturers like Coca Cola, Nintendo and Duracell. The ad shows Santa using Siri on an iPhone 4S to help him with his annual task of delivering presents all over the world.

Apple's iPhone 4S Santa Siri ad was the most effective holiday advertisement
BAD Midtier internal chneags. Apple's recycled brick from 17 mounths ago. 1 Ghz dual core only? LG did that a year ago, 512 RAM=Htc did that 2 years ago, 8 MPcamera=SonyEricsson did that 3 or 4 yrs ago and this new notification center =Android has it since 2008!No 4g! 3.5 old display?=4.5 androidssearch utube: Introducing Voice Actions for Android = Suri=gimmick. True next gen = Samsung Galaxy s2(sprnt,att,tmob) is what iphone4s should have been>moreinfo plz check my profile videos.
I don't know about that particular functionality but then of course, almost all advertising overstates the abilities of the product in some way and this advert is really just the same.
I suppose though it is better than berating Santa like Best Buy did in their advertising. I wonder how many younger kids now feel that the crappy gifts were from Santa and the really cool ones were from Mommy who went to best buy, LOL. They could have just had someone sitting at a chair saying "Look Kids, Santa does not exist! It's mommy at Best Buy!".

Celebrations as Ben Ainslie clinches fourth gold medal
Posted: August 06, 2012|
A dazzling display of Olympic brilliance saw Westcountry sailor Ben Ainslie power his way into the record books.
The 34-year-old who began his phenomenal career in Cornwall is now the most successful sailor in Olympic history.
Yesterday at Weymouth, Ben clinched gold for the fourth games in a row in front of a global audience of tens of millions who over the years have watched his supremacy of the waves flourish.
Ben's father Roddy said the gold medal win in the Finn Class meant everything to his son.
Related content
He said: "I have watched him for 25 years. I have watched him in world championships, national championships, and quite honestly it doesn't really get to my heart. But today, the last one was very special.
"To Ben it is everything. He has worked so hard to get to where he has got."
Roddy said his son had struggled to regain fitness after suffering from back problems, but had been determined to carry on.
He described the crowd's support for the sailor as "absolutely amazing" and said he would give his son a hug as soon as he saw him.
Mr Ainslie said his son's success yesterday was the most difficult to watch of all his Olympic campaigns.
He said: "Without a doubt, the last four Olympics have been really, really tough but this one was nail biting to the very last minute.
"My hands are still shaking. He's worked since he was 16 to get a gold at the Olympics and just gone on and on and on.
"He's been absolutely amazing really."
Few could have enjoyed his victory in the Finn class more than members of Restronguet Sailing Club, near Mylor, where Ben started sailing aged eight.
Commodore Guy English said around 200 people crammed into the clubhouse to watch the nail-biting race on a big screen.
Mr English said the entire club was "hugely proud" of its former member's magnificent achievement.
He said: "Ben was brilliant – absolutely brilliant and we are hugely proud of his wonderful achievement.
"It was more like a football match in here today with everyone shouting, cheering and clapping – the noise was almost deafening. When he won people became very emotional and tears were shed – and not by just the ladies. We were all feeling it."
It's not the first time the club has helped an Olympic champion on his way. In 1948 David Bond, now aged 90, who lives at Feock, near Truro, also took gold.
Sarah Newton, MP for Truro and Falmouth, said: "I'm absolutely delighted for Ben – over the moon. It was a great victory and helps put Restronguet sailing club and Mylor on the map."
Ben's victory came shortly after fellow team GB sailors, and personal friends, Iain Percy and Sherborne's Andrew Simpson had to settle for silver in the Star class.
Commenting on Ben's win, Percy's sister Katrina said: "I think we're all extremely chuffed for Ben. We're very proud of him like everyone else.
"He sailed a good race today and now he has come out of it with an absolutely fantastic Olympic gold medal and now the greatest Olympian ever."
Today, Royal Mail will release a new stamp to celebrate's Ben's gold medal – the 15th Gold Medal stamp to be released. It will go on sale in more than 500 Post Offices across the UK, including in Truro.
A post box in Restronguet will also be painted gold.

Quietly Contrary: Dressed for Success
By Mary Eileen Finch
Weeks before elementary school even started I would begin to prepare. You know the drill. A new box of crayons that you swore to yourself would never break or get lost, a crisp shiny backpack with a zipper that didn't stick, and pencils with my name engraved on the wood that my mother would special order from a magazine catalog every year. And, of course, a brand-new outfit that had been tried on over and over to make sure it was perfect. I was that adorable, eager little girl who danced through the halls bound and determined to soak up all that was offered.
Until one year my whole world came crashing down during recess. There I was, standing in the middle of a group of girls who seemed to be a lot more underdressed than me. Their cut-offs and t-shirts contrasted heavily next to my pink dress, black Mary Jane shoes and lace trimmed socks. I knew I looked good, the mirror had told me so that morning but I sure felt awful. And the knot in my stomach expanded with force when one of the students turned to me and apathetically said, "I just don't understand why someone would get all dressed up the first day of school? Like, who cares?"
Apparently I hadn't gotten the notice that we were too old to care anymore. Liking school was lame. Dressing up for school was just not cool. So I did what comes naturally to a child at such times. I blamed my mother. "Oh yeah, I know, right. My mom MADE me wear this today. Otherwise I would totally have just worn some shorts." I announced this as I shoved my special pencils back down into my Lisa Frank book bag. They had been in my hands, all ready to show off, but somehow I didn't think anyone would be impressed with them this year.
All these memories have been going through my mind because next week I will be going back to school again and to be honest, I'm a little nervous about it. In fact, just a few hours ago I was making a list of all the things I needed to get done before school starts and trying to figure out how to open my new laptop bag that has no less than 15 zippers and searching for my class schedule and panicking because I seemed to have lost my student ID and then I remembered that I didn't even have any pencils, yet, so I burst into tears and said, "I want pencils with my name on them!"
I do have a new pack of crayons, though. Scented ones in fact. Yes, I know that a fully-grown woman is probably not going to need crayons at college but I don't care. They are pretty, they smell good and they make me smile so into my bag they go. I might even wear a pink dress on my first day, too, though I doubt that you'll see me dancing though the halls.

The Win:Win network offers a space primarily for academic women at the University of Birmingham to come together, share experiences, develop reciprocal support and facilitate action on issues of gender, diversity, employment, career development and leadership.
We are delighted to announce that Norma Jarboe OBE, Director of Women Count and author of a recent report on gender and leadership in higher education will be joining us on 26 March to discuss her work and the potential benefits for colleagues.
WomenCount is a new, non-profit organisation benchmarking women's leadership across charitable, academic and public bodies. In the belief that "what gets measured gets done", Women Count encourages organisations to set aspirational targets for women's participation, measure the outcomes and report on progress. The expectation is that organisations will achieve a gender balance of leaders – 40%-60% men or women. Women Count's research allows organisations and their stakeholders to compare progress being made within their sector. It also provides analysis into what hinders progress and what encourages it.
Women Count's recent report of the same name analysed women's leadership in higher education, placing the University of Birmingham within the bottom ten of all UK institutions. The session will explore the findings of the report and discuss the opportunities and options for progress.
The event will be held In the Southfield Room at Park House, 11.45 until 2 with lunch provided.

Helping you find your perfect holiday cottage since 1995...
Cheap CottagesIf a cheap holiday cottage is your number one priority, where do you look? There are no price comparison web sites and anyway what are you comparing? No two holiday cottages are the same. You need to be a bit of a detective to find the cheapest cottages to rent, but we can at least start you off with six big clues.
- Be Flexible! If you set your heart on a certain place, or a particular week, get ready to pay the price. If you will go where the deal is good, you can find a cheap cottage.
- Dont look in popular places. Think of it like shopping in town. Places you have heard of are the High Street, where you get the best brands. The cheap goods are on the quieter streets. The good news is there are loads of places off the beaten track, where you can still have a great holiday, but cheap.
- Dont go when everyone else goes. If you are tied to school holidays, there is only one where the price doesnt go up February half term. But we once shared a log cabin for that break with another family and had a great time in Devon. Yes we were wearing jackets on the beach, but the kids and the dog even went in the sea. £220 between 7 of us. If you want to be warmer (and who wouldnt?) the Whit bank holiday is the best value for school holidays, and June is generally the best value overall.
- Fill up your cottage. Dont pay for empty beds and armchairs. Find a cottage to rent that sleeps the exact number in your party. Generally, the bigger your party, the less you pay per person.
- Like supermarkets, cottage companies put the profitable stuff right in front of your eyes. Not on shelves, but at the top of their searches. There is often a trick to change the results so you see the cheapest cottages first. Here is an example, with the little box for cheap cottages already ticked for you.
- Leave it late. Owners of holiday cottages naturally want the best possible price for a weeks rent. But as it gets closer to the time, they start getting more flexible. Bear in mind that they still have to pay a cleaner and the electricity bill, so there comes a point where its cheaper not to let it, but try making some offers. 25% off with 2 weeks to go is about right.
Now to the specifics of finding your cheap cottage. You need a search that covers all areas, and allows you to rank the results in price order, with the cheapest cottages first. Not every cottage company allows you to do this. Cottage4You, for example, does not, or at least I couldn't find a way. So here are some of the searches that will help the quest.
CottageWorld.com is a cottage comparison site that includes lots of smaller companies and individually-owned cottages. Like all such sites, you need to click through to confirm that the information is still current an accurate, but it's a great place to start
Hoseasons and Cottages4you are part of the same company, but the Hoseasons cottages search is the one that lets you order the cottages with the cheapest ones first.
Farm and Cottage holidays are one of the best for South West of England and have a good search facility for close to a thousand cottages in Devon and Cornwall, plus Somerset and Dorset.
Another great site if you are planning to visit Devon and Cornwall is Blue Chip holidays.

As for DW......I'm on a computer all day and into the night for work anyway, so it's easy to come in and out.......too easy it seems, 4 months and 550 posts!! It's ridiculous I tells ya!
Such a great place though......never mixed with so many drummers before.....love it!!
Need a cold beer in Syd too (havinf a Corona with lime as I type). It's about 30C here and humid as. You guys and the Crows really do get beaten up in summertime. 30C minimum ... tough medicine. Pity those without aircon or a fan.
I'm hearing you ... I live behind a screen too. In all those years of playing I only ever got to know a pretty small number of drummers, and most of them pretty cursorily. There are so many good people here and I'm catching up for 25 years of lost time with my gazillion posts in the past year (and reading about ten times that)
Ah, the web is such a boon for the gauche :)

Megan Fox recently claimed that she is "struggling" with her recent mega-fame, but insists she hasn't "gone completely insane." Well this might just push her over the edge! The internet – spurred on by a conversation on today's Howard Stern show – is currently up in, uh, arms over Megan's "toe thumbs." If you dont' believe us, ask Google Trends.
You know the thumbs of which we – and the web – speak. Surely someone in your life (or maybe it's you!) has a pair of inexplicably short and stumpy thumb nails that resemble a big toe more than a slender finger. We've seen 'em on regular people before, it's no big thing. But on Megan Fox?! Apparently the net's decided that such a genetic deformity is inexcusable for the sexiest woman in the world.
Though we hate to imagine it, there must be some sort of discrete, surgical procedure out there that can transform her freakish digits. And when that happens, this and every other entertainment site on the web will be ready. Look for a before and after post on her thumbs coming any day now! [Photo: Splash News Online]

So, it's been about a day since this whole "EA is the worst company in America" thing happened. I was thinking of writing something about it directly because seeing a bunch of entitled video game fans with no concept of how the real world works making a statement that a video game publisher is worse than, say, a bank that forecloses on the homes of soldiers or an oil company that poisons the earth, is simply offensive. I love video games and I'll be honest, there are things that I see developers, publishers, and press do that really annoy me. I work in a library which is a customer service field. I understand the importance of excellent customer service, and it pisses me off to see organizations treating people like crap.
Anyway, based on what I've seen on Twitter and elsewhere over that past 24 hours, it's pretty clear that my point of view on this matter is hardly controversial. I'm going to concede something, however; If you insist that a corporation related to your personal life (i.e. having to do with the Internet, about video games, not actually based in the larger world), then you are aiming at the wrong target. EA sucks, but it's not really any worse than Activision, Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, or anyone else. They are not your friends. It's nothing personal — they just want your money and will do whatever it takes to get it. No, if you want to go after someone, go after someone whose corruption actually harms the industry and damages lives.
Go after Reddit.
Full disclosure: Twinfinite has been blacklisted from Reddit since November 2012. Anything that gets posted from our site gets taken down, and anyone who posts our content gets shadowbanned. Why? We don't know. Sure, they've fed us a line of "You are spamming us," but if you're here reading this then you can see that we don't produce spam. We produce original, well-written, interesting content.
I made a joke on our staff page a while back that perhaps one of the mods is a vengeful ex-boyfriend of Yamilia. While that's not likely the case (although Yami is quite the heartbreaker), we have clearly pissed off a few well-placed mods who have taken it upon themselves to deem us 'spam'.
So yeah, that pisses me off. It pisses me off that because a small number of petty moderators with Napoleon complexes can block the content of an entire site and take some kind of moral high ground, while their website got big by doing exactly that.
I'm not a big fan of Gawker sites personally. However, they are one of the biggest fish in the sea of video game enthusiast writing. On top of that, they embrace the whole "journalism" side of things that frankly most of us don't do. One major story from last year was when Adrian Chen wrote an exposé about Michael Brutsch, better known as notorious troll/moderator Violentacrez. In response to this article's looking under the rock at the behavior of certain individuals housed there, Reddit's response was swift and decisive.
They banned (and continue to ban) all posts linking to Gawker sites. Why would they do this? Surely they had a reason to do it beyond simple petulance. Their official line is that Gawker violated their rules by 'doxxing' Brutsch, but as evidenced by this exchange between Kotaku's Stephen Totilo and a Reddit moderator, it was more a case of the mods getting together and exacting some vigilante justice on a site that dared criticize one of their own. Basically, what it comes down to is that Reddit supports free speech. Theirs.
So what you have here is an organization who says its content is community driven and committed to free speech, yet in practice it lays down arbitrary rules about posting that seem to be the result of an oligarchy of moderators imposing their personal preferences on the process. On top of that, this same group of people protected and rewarded Brutsch, whose primary purpose on Reddit was to ostensibly have a go at being the most awful person on the Internet.
Awesome. So it's okay to support a moderator that thinks posting sexualized photos of underage girls, but a small site putting up an article about music that evokes themes in Bioshock is spam? Reddit — You suck.
At the end of the day, I recognize that awarding Reddit with some symbolic token of their shittiness is about as meaningful as doing it for EA. So here I am, being part of the problem I guess. The thing is though, if you're going to make some kind of statement about a corporation that truly does damage to Internet culture and engages in unethical and unseemly practices, then go after a real bad guy.

Camper Van Beethoven On World Cafe
By editor
After a nine-year hiatus, the venerable rock band Camper Van Beethoven has returned with its eighth studio album, La Costa Perdida. Thematically, the record revolves around midlife nostalgia and the group's California roots. Core members David Lowery, Jonathan Segel and Greg Lischer recruited Michael Urbano and Frank Funaro, both known for their work in Lowery's band Cracker, to collaborate on the recordings and subsequent performances.
Here, Camper Van Beethoven brings its mix of psychedelia, country, ska and Mexican styles to World Café, and talks with host David Dye about its reunion.
