Car guys can listen to an engine and often identify it. Any Mustang 5.0 is instantly recognizable to me. It has a throaty chuckle. Although I can't recognize the sound of a Corvette Stingray, I always had a thing for their body style. Except after the 1970s Stingray, Corvette (in my eyes) has fallen on hard times. Good news, all that is about to change with the new Corvette Stingray:
Finally, it some design to it. I will say the tail-lights look like its baby bro, the Camaro.

Naval Academy Debate Team Ranked 12th in Nation
Posted on: May 16, 2013 08:00 EDT by Naval Academy Public Affairs
The Naval Academy Debate Team for this academic year was ranked 12th in the country by the American Debate Association out of 66 member schools.
The novice squad, comprised of debaters with no prior debate experience, was ranked 7th in the country, and the junior varsity squad was ranked 10th.
The novice team, composed of Midshipman 1st Class Justin Chapman and Midshipman 3rd Class Naticha Jamordee-Connor, was a semifinalist at the Clarion University tournament with Chapman winning an individual Fourth Speaker Award.
All four novice teams advanced to elimination rounds at the Liberty University Tournament, with Midshipman 3rd Class Benjamin Graveline and Midshipman 2nd Class Christopher Dinelli receiving individual speaker awards. The novice squad also had a strong showing at the University of Georgia tournament in February. The team made up of Graveline and Midshipman 4th Class Jacob Kotlarski advanced to quarterfinals, and Graveline was recognized as the Tenth Individual Speaker.
The junior varsity team of Midshipman 4th Class Tyler Roach and Midshipman 3rd Class Nathan Howe also advanced to elimination rounds at the James Madison tournament and the Liberty University tournament and had a strong showing at several national-level varsity tournaments.
The academy's Debate Team was founded in 1946 by retired Adm. William J. Crowe when he was a midshipman. Crowe went on to become the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Ronald Reagan and ambassador to the Court of St. James under President Bill Clinton. The prestigious Crowe-Warken debate tournament held at the Naval Academy every year is named after Crowe and former Navy debate coach Dr. Phillip Warken.
The team is currently coached by Danielle Verney-O'Gorman, professor of political science, and the officer representatives are Marine Capt. Pedro Ortiz and Lt. Cmdr. Jessica Cleary.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's time to get your home into the swing of things. Don't worry—you still have plenty of time to convert your domicile into a spooky haunted house (or just a scary home that kids will think twice about approaching during their quest for candy). Here are five fairly simple, but clever ways to get your apartment or house in ghoulish shape for Halloween, and any one of these ideas would do a witch, or decaying zombie, proud:
Life is an amazing gift when you stop and think about it. Out of all the things that are living, you get to be you—which is a lot better than being a sea slug, for example. In order to ensure that you get the most out this life and as many years as you possibly can, you need to take good care of your body—that vessel that lets you breathe air, eat food, meet your friends at restaurants and get about in general.
There are all kinds of strange eateries out there, ranging from opera-themed bistros to cafes swarming with cats, as well as diners built inside of the fuselages of old airplanes. While we understand that some people just want a simple, peaceful meal when they head out, others like a little something extra special.
Cats and dogs, while extremely lovable, are not the only choices out there when it comes to selecting a household pet. There are quite a few unusual animals in existence that actually make good, even great companions for their human owners. We're not talking man-eating tigers or wild boars here—there are some limits to just how exotic you should go.

I use this pack daily for computer and business stuff and it works great. Not a ton of room (I haven't expanded it yet), but it works great for a computer, handful of folders, a few journals, and a change of clothes. I've used it for overnight airline travel and it worked great. The front pocket does not hold an iPhone 4s (with a case), but it is a good place to hold your earbuds for when you need them.

Comments about Osprey Momentum 26:
I use this pack for my daily back-and-forth to work. Sometimes it's car, sometimes it's bus; haven't used it on a bike yet (which is it's main intent). It has a nice compartment for a laptop (MacPro 13 fits great - not sure how much larger would) and paper files. Separate large, open compartment for whatever has some nice organizer pockets near the top. Smaller front pocket also has some organizers. Built-in rain cover, which I haven't used yet, is a nice add. The mesh side compartments are large enough for my 1L Camelback bottle (one side) and a coffee thermos (other side). Key pocket on front of strap comes in handy. I'm very pleased with the Bamboo color - it's yellow with a tint of green and stands out from the crowd. If you don't want to stand out, go with the black - nobody will ever notice it.
There are a lot of straps on the pack, and there is no way to tie up the excess. I've seen other packs that have bands on the straps that you can use to fold and hold the excess - would have been a good touch. Guess I'll have to buy some separate velcro holds, or cut and resew the straps. For a pack intended for biking, it has poor back ventilation - it's a pretty much flat foam back that completely covers your back - the sweaty shirt syndrome occurs in full. Something like a Deuter airflow system would have been nice.
But I tried quite a few packs and this had the best combination of features for me. The Deuter Giga was too big, the Giga flat too small, the Gregory Miwak didn't have the right kind of organizers, the nicely-ventilated Ospreys are not designed well for office stuff, and so forth. Packs are a very personal thing, so you should try several - take them home, pack them up and try them on - you'll probably be able to tell in less than 10 minutes if you're going to like it.

16 U.S. Code § 5301 - Findings
prev | next
The Congress finds the following:
(1) The world's rhinoceros population is declining at an alarming rate, a 90 percent decline since 1970.
(2) All 5 subspecies of tiger are currently threatened with extinction in the wild, with approximately 5,000 to 6,000 tigers remaining worldwide.
(5) The tiger and all rhinoceros species, except the southern subspecies of white rhinoceros, are listed as endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
(6) In 1987, the parties to CITES adopted a resolution that urged all parties to establish a moratorium on the sale and trade in rhinoceros products (other than legally taken trophies), to destroy government stockpiles of rhinoceros horn, and to exert pressure on countries continuing to allow trade in rhinoceros products.
(7) On September 7, 1993, under section 1978 of title 22 the Secretary certified that the People's Republic of China and Taiwan were engaged in trade of rhinoceros parts and tiger parts that diminished the effectiveness of an international conservation program for that endangered species.
(8) On September 9, 1993, the Standing Committee of CITES, in debating the continuing problem of trade in rhinoceros horn and tiger parts, adopted a resolution urging parties to CITES to implement stricter domestic measures, up to and including an immediate prohibition in trade in wildlife species.
(9) On November 8, 1993, under section 1978 of title 22, the President announced that the United States would impose trade sanctions against China and Taiwan unless substantial progress was made by March 1994 towards ending trade in rhinoceros and tiger products.
(10) On April 11, 1994, under section 1978 of title 22, the President—
(A) directed that imports of wildlife specimens and products from Taiwan be prohibited, in response to Taiwan's failure to undertake sufficient actions to stop illegal rhinoceros and tiger trade; and

Congressional Findings
Pub. L. 105–312, title IV, § 402,Oct. 30, 1998, 112 Stat. 2959, provided that: "Congress finds that—
"(1) the populations of all but 1 species of rhinoceros, and the tiger, have significantly declined in recent years and continue to decline;
"(2) these species of rhinoceros and tiger are listed as endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and listed on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, signed on March 3, 1973 (27 UST 1087; TIAS 8249) (referred to in this title as 'CITES');
"(3) the Parties to CITES have adopted several resolutions—
"(A) relating to the conservation of tigers (Conf. 9.13 (Rev.)) and rhinoceroses (Conf. 9.14), urging Parties to CITES to implement legislation to reduce illegal trade in parts and products of the species; and
"(B) relating to trade in readily recognizable parts and products of the species (Conf. 9.6), and trade in traditional medicines (Conf. 10.19), recommending that Parties ensure that their legislation controls trade in those parts and derivatives, and in medicines purporting to contain them;
"(4) a primary cause of the decline in the populations of tiger and most rhinoceros species is the poaching of the species for use of their parts and products in traditional medicines;
"(5) there are insufficient legal mechanisms enabling the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to interdict products that are labeled or advertised as containing substances derived from rhinoceros or tiger species and prosecute the merchandisers for sale or display of those products; and
"(6) legislation is required to ensure that—
"(A) products containing, or labeled or advertised as containing, rhinoceros parts or tiger parts are prohibited from importation into, or exportation from, the United States; and
"(B) efforts are made to educate persons regarding alternatives for traditional medicine products, the illegality of products containing, or labeled or advertised as containing, rhinoceros parts and tiger parts, and the need to conserve rhinoceros and tiger species generally."

Pink mucket pearly mussel [Lampsilis orbiculata]
The Pink mucket pearly mussel has an elliptical shell that is 4 in. long, 2.4 in. wide, and 3 inches high. Young mussels have a yellow to brown shell that is smooth and glossy with green rays and growthmarks, while older specimens are a dull brown. This mussel is a unique long-term breeder in which male pink muckets release sperm in late summer or fall that fertilizes larvae in females which is incubated until the following spring. The Pink mucket pearly mussel inhabits shallow riffles or shoals in areas of gravel, rubbel, or sand substrates that have been swept free of silt by the current. (Silt clogs the siphons in which mussels use to strain water for nutrients.)
In the past, populations of this mussel were found in 25 rivers and tributaries in 11 states. Currently, the Pink mucket is known in 16 rivers and tributaries from 7 states with the greatest concentrations in the Tennessee (TN, AL) and Cumberland (TN, KY) rivers, and in the Osage and Meramec rivers (MO). However, large numbers of this species have never been collected and it has always been considered rare. Smaller populations have been found in the Clinch River (TN), Green River (KY), Kwanawha River (WV), in the Big River, Black and Little Black, Gasconde rivers (MO), and in Current and Spring rivers (AR).
The Pink mucket has declined in range and numbers due to dam and reservoir construction that has changed natural river flow, water temperatures, and oxygen and sediment contents. In addition, heavy loads of silt from strip mining, coal washing, dredging, and logging, along with agricultural runoff have significantly deteriorated water quality essential for mussel reproduction and feeding.
In attempts to restore Pink mucket habitat, the states of Tennessee and Alabama have designated mussel sanctuaries in parts of the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers and have sucessfully reproduced populations at these locations. Recently, live specimens were discovered in the upper Ohio River where the Pink mucket had not been found for 75 years. Scientists associate this to improved water quality in the area and believe that this species could be similarly reintroduced to areas in which the Pink mucket has been extirpated if water quality is restored.

A text-based roleplaying game based on Red Dwarf
© Copyright 2011 Celta Themes - All Rights Reserved.
Trapped on the wrong side of the galaxy, the crew have been in stasis for 3 million years, waiting for the Cadmium II radiation to subside. Now they've been woken, but the Blue Dwarf isn't exactly how they left it. They have to re-explore the ship they've known as their home, but they're not alone.
This is a story-based roleplaying game based on the sci-fi TV series Red Dwarf. The crew aren't heroes, they're just normal smegheads trying to survive in a dangerous universe. Join now and continue the story of the Blue Dwarf.
Blue Dwarf is a text-based roleplaying game about the Red Dwarf's sister ship. We continue the story by simply writing it, and have been around since April 2000. We absolutely welcome new members so if you're a fan of Red Dwarf and enjoy writing please join us!
Red Dwarf is a scifi comedy TV series about the last human Dave Lister woken from stasis 3 million years in the future to find everyone dead.
You'll love this game if you're a fan of Red Dwarf, like quirky scifi plots and enjoy writing. Join Now.

We summed up what you need to know into this comic to get you up to speed
Enjoyed this? Why don't you join the game and continue this story.
Places you can visit on the Blue Dwarf
The nerve centre of the entire ship, and the closest thing the Blue Dwarf has to a Star Trek-style "Bridge", it is where the Command Officers make all the decisions that effect ship operations and the current mission. Crew sit at different desks on a swivelly chair and can work at either the communications, navigation, engineering or scanning computers.
The ship's shopping centre is one long area lined with shops that runs almost the full length of the ship. After the 3 million years in stasis all these shops are now abandoned, and the Promenade has been inhabited by a collection of evolved rodents called "The Vermin".
Parrotts is a bar where most crewmembers go to unwind after a busy work day, or where they go to avoid a busy work day. It's tatty, it's a dive, but it's the best bar on the ship.
This is where all Blue Dwarf's secondary vehicles like Starbugs and Blue Midgets are parked, and where they are prepared for into going into space. An airlock opens onto a runway tunnel for entering and leaving the ship.
A series of emergency rooms for looking after patients. The Medi-bay is actually detachable and escaped at some point when most of the crew were in stasis, and it's a mystery where it's gone. Chief surgeon Dr Keto has also disappeared.
Large machinery takes up much of the rear decks for the engines and vital ship functions. Many of these have been flooded during the time in stasis and have become rusty and unusable. The main reactor is a nuclear core held in place by vital Drive Plates, it was due to these cracking that caused the leak of Cadmium II.
There are many huge empty cargo bays on the Blue Dwarf's lower decks which are waiting to be filled. The cargo decks are wide open spaces used for storing many crates of goods that the Blue Dwarf may be transporting to a destination, or just keeping for spares.
Originally a botanical garden on the ship, this has now become overgrown in the 3 million years the crew were in stasis and is now the jungle home of some evolved lizards called the Huzards.
Because of the Blue Dwarf's vast size, smaller shuttles are used to visit nearby planets.
The Starbug is an all purpose medium sized transport vessel, suitable for transporting passengers or cargo over short or long distances. It has a much longer range than a Blue Midget and has a far larger hold, making this the ideal choice for transportation of goods, or for ferrying people who would like a bit more space than the cramped Blue Midget.
Starbugs are very versatile, the standard model is very basic, but they can be equipped with many different types of weapons, or technology required for the current mission. They can be equipped with a star-drive for long-distance travel, propellers for underwater propulsion, or ground transportation with retractable caterpillar tracks.
Inside there is space for a small medical suite, crew quarters, a kitchen and a four-man bridge.
This cute little space transport is perfect for ship-to-surface travel. It walks on two legs, allowing it to step its way over extremely rough terrain with much more ease than most vehicles with wheels. The Blue Midget is a lot more compact than the Starbug, and can fit four people comfortably, or possibly six if people don't mind sitting on other people's laps. Blue Midgets are people transports, so only have limited room in the cargo hold for equipment, but this isn't normally a problem unless people bring a lot of crap or fill it with coolers of beer.
The Blue Midget was never designed to carry weapons, but over the years it has become necessary for the small ship to be equipped with rudimentary laser cannons, bazukoid missiles or gattling guns.
The small ship can't take too much punishment from enemy assaults, and the walking mechanism can get easily broken. Most of the Blue Midgets assigned to the Blue Dwarf walk with some kind of a limp.
This curvy small craft was designed and created using Space Corps military technology for attack and defence in mind. Space Eagles are nimble and fast and are loaded with the latest weaponry.
Far smaller than a Starbug or Blue Midget, Space Eagles only have seats for two people. One pilot and a passenger, who can help out by controlling the craft's weapons.
The Blue Dwarf was originally issued one Space Eagle as a prototype craft, providing that the Navigation Department gave information back to the Space Corps about it's reliability. In 2106, Space Eagles became widely available and the Blue Dwarf was given an entire wing of Space Eagles.

Law enforcement officials arrested a 49-year-old male in northwest Carbon County on Sept. 9 after an investigation led to the discovery of alleged illicit drugs valued at more than $10,000.
The Carbon Metro Drug Task Force received information that a shipment of drugs was purportedly being transported from the Salt Lake area to a destination in Helper.
The drug task force alerted local law enforcement agencies of the alleged inbound shipment and a criminal investigation into the matter started.
On Sept. 9, Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Jason Marshall located the suspect vehicle near the dam at Scofield Reservoir, according to the drug task force.
Marshall and drug task force agents conducted a routine stop on the vehicle for an alleged traffic violation near the Scofield Junction on U.S. Highway 6.
The driver, 49-year-old Robert L. Versluis, was arrested for reportedly driving while under the influence of an intoxicant.
Helper Officer Lynn Archuleta and drug dog, Brooke, assisted with the search of the vehicle Versluis was driving.
The search yielded two pounds of suspected marijuana, one-fourth pound of suspected methamphetamine and one ounce of suspected cocaine.
The law enforcement authorities estimated the street value of the suspected illegal narcotics at $10,000.
"This was a result of good police work and an example of inter-agency cooperation. Large quantities of suspected drugs were intercepted before being distributed to the streets of our community," stated Richard Boyden, Carbon Metro Drug Task Force agent.
Robert L. Versluis was booked into the Utah County Jail on multiple counts of drug trafficking, DUI and unlawful possession/use of drug paraphernalia, concluded the drug task force agent.

An action that California's Napa Valley Unified School District took in 2009 is just now getting exposure, and at least one board member said that if it had been a private deal (not a taxpayer-backed one), he would be running for cover. Jose Hurtado, a NVUSD board member, said he stands by the deal he voted for — to borrow $29 million and put off paying it back until 2049 — but if it were a traditional mortgage, he "would run" away from it.
Back in 2006, the board made promises it couldn't keep, and when it ran out of money it found a "workaround" to push the problem into the future. It promised taxpayers a new high school in 2006, and it authorized $183 million to build it. But the Great Recession shrunk tax revenues to the point where the school couldn't be completed without more borrowing. However, the board also promised taxpayers that it wouldn't raise tax assessments above the current $36 per $100,000 of assessed valuations.
Enter KNN Public Finance, which, in return for a small fee — $156,000 to be exact — introduced the board members to a new concept: capital appreciation bonds (CAB). By recommending that the board issue CABs to complete the high school, payments on the new debt wouldn't start until the year 2049. Voila! Problem solved: new high school, no new taxes to pay for it.
The trick to CABs is something called compound interest. Since no payments are needed for 40 years, the principal owed accrues interest which, over time, accrues additional interest on itself. It is sometimes called a "zero coupon bond" or a "payday loan" or a "balloon payment" loan. Others refer to CABs as "surprise" loans in that the amount due can be many times the size of the original loan. In the Napa Valley case, it's $182 million, or more than six times the original loan amount.

CANTON There were tense moments in St. Lawrence County Court on Thursday morning as an Ogdensburg drug suspect demanded Judge Kathleen M. Rogers justify her jurisdiction over him during arraignment, then unsuccessfully requested to have his newly appointed attorney removed from the case.
He wont say the things I want him to say, an animated Edwin G. Roach Jr. said of St. Lawrence County Public Defender Stephen D. Button.
Mr. Button then asked the judge to remove him from the case, in compliance with Mr. Roachs request. Judge Rogers refused, saying that the question of whether Mr. Roach should be allowed to represent himself is a matter County Judge Jerome J. Richards will address when the defendant appears before him later this month.
Mr. Roach, 53, of 511 Knox St., was one of several Ogdensburg residents arrested Feb. 26 for allegedly dealing crack cocaine and prescription painkillers in the city.
Also in court for arraignment Thursday were Kelly J. Ellard-Staton, 37, of 125 Belmont Courts; David A. Hazelton, 37, of 211 Belmont Courts, and Jeffrey W. Brenno, 56, of 212 Linden Lane.
Mr. Brenno and Mr. Roach are accused of selling Vicodin, a prescription narcotic painkiller. Ms. Ellard-Staton and Mr. Hazelton were accused of dealing crack cocaine.
Ms. Ellard-Staton appeared before the judge Thursday with attorney Lloyd G. Grandy II and entered a not-guilty plea. The judge sent her back to the St. Lawrence County jail in lieu of $25,000 bail or $50,000 bond to await further proceedings.
Mr. Hazelton appeared before the judge with Conflict Defender Amy L. Dona and entered a not-guilty plea. The judge sent him back to the jail, also in lieu of $25,000 bail or $50,000 bond.
Mr. Brenno appeared before the judge with attorney Efstathia G. Kyriakopoulos and pleaded not guilty. Mr. Brenno initially was jailed on $20,000 bail or bond, but subsequently was released under the supervision of probation.
Assistant District Attorney Jonathan L. Becker said the people are prepared for trial with respect to each defendant.
Judge Rogers entered a not-guilty plea for Mr. Roach amid questions about his representation. He responded with a barrage of questions.
Am I entitled to a fair and meaningful hearing? he asked, only to be reminded that Thursdays appearance was an arraignment.
Who do you represent? he asked the judge.
I dont represent anyone, she replied.
Mr. Roach went on to ask what the judges relationship with the district attorney is, whether she was in court of your own free will and by what authority and evidence he was brought to court. The judge pointed out that he had been indicted by a grand jury.
Mr. Roach challenged its jurisdiction. The judge overruled him.
Mr. Becker interjected to say that Mr. Roach at one point had been a fugitive in another state and had at least nine aliases. Approached by a reporter later, Mr. Becker said he did not have details about that previous case.
Mr. Button told a reporter that he knew only of a previous misdemeanor conviction in Colorado, but also had no additional details about Mr. Roachs history.
Judge Rogers sent Mr. Roach back to the jail, where he had been committed in lieu of $15,000 bail or $20,000 bond.

(WZZM) - How does this sound for dinner tonight, turkey, stuffing and some cranberry sauce?
You say you had all of that on Thursday and Friday too?
We all know that Thanksgiving can leave us with a lot of leftovers. You don't want it all to go to waste, but eating the same stuff until it's gone is kind of boring.
So we asked Amy Sherman with Spartan Stores to show you some creative and healthy ways to put those leftovers to use in Get Git.
Click on the video link to watch the segment. The recipe is below.
Tuscan Turkey Soup
- Carcass from a 12- to 14-pound roast turkey or 6 pound turkey wings
- 4 quarts water
- 3 medium leeks, greens reserved and white and pale green parts washed and chopped
- 1 head garlic, peeled
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped rosemary
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 3 celery ribs, chopped
- 2 cans fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 chunk parmesan cheese rind
- shredded leftover turkey, if you have some
- 8 ounces dried egg pasta, any shape, cooked according to package directions, drained
- 5-8 ounces baby spinach
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Break down carcass into smaller pieces. Simmer carcass, water, reserved leek greens, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 7 to 10-quart heavy pot, uncovered, skimming froth, 3 hours.
Discard large bones with a slotted spoon or tongs, then strain stock through a large sieve into a large bowl (discard solids).
If stock measures less than 10 cups, add water. If it measures more, boil until reduced.
If using stock right away, let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat. If not, chill (covered once cool) before removing fat. (It will be easier to remove when cool or cold.)
Pour stock back into pot. Add the garlic and bring to a simmer. Cook until the garlic is soft, about 20 minutes. Using an immersion blender, blend the garlic into the broth. In another pot, add in chopped leeks and rosemary and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until leeks are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add carrots, celery, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, cheese rind and stock and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the turkey and the spinach, remove the parmesan rind.
Serve the soup with the pasta. I add the pasta right when I'm serving so that it doesn't absorb all the broth and make the soup too thick.

The Sports Network is reporting that University of Montana quarterback Jordan Johnson was formally charged Tuesday with sexual intercourse without consent. Johnson was accused in March of rape. According to the Missoulian, the felony charge for Johnson carries a possible two years to life sentence in prison. He's been suspended from the football
team. Last season, Johnson completed 196-of-326 passes for 2,305 yards with 21 touchdowns and nine interceptions. According to the newspaper, the charging documents against Johnson describe an incident that allegedly occurred Feb. 4. The newspaper noted the affidavit in which Missoula County Assistant Chief Deputy Attorney Suzy Boylan described the alleged incident. In it, Johnson made advances on a woman as they watched a movie at the alleged victim's house despite her repeatedly saying "no."

2011 American Country Awards Performance Pictures

Like any great awards show, the 2011 American Country Awards were packed full with practically as many performances as awards handed out. Host Trace Adkins kicked off the show with a medley of his hits before his co-host Kristin Chenoweth challenged him to a sing-off, which was the highlight of the evening, despite being mostly a joke.
Additionally, Alabama, Chris Young, Pistol Annies, the Band Perry and Blake Shelton gave top notch performances, as did Eli Young Band, who made their awards show debut and Scotty McCreery, who told us all about 'The Trouble With Girls.' The 2011 American Country Awards are working to set themselves apart from other more typical awards show timelines — many of the artists performed their hit songs after snagging an award, and the event was set in Las Vegas, rather than country music's home of Nashville.

Comments about Mizuno Breath Thermo Gloves Handwear:
When I got these, I put them on and they were the consistancy of those "Magic Gloves" or the cheep streach golves, and I thought--"What a waste, these are never gonna work." I have never been so pleased to be wrong!! I wore them at a 10K this morning in Chicago with the temperature in the upper 30's and a lake breeze. By mile 3 I had to take them off, because my hands were too warm! I slid them down my shirt between two layers and could feel the warmth on my biceps. I can't believe how well they work. I'd highly recomend them, and I'm definately going to purchase more of the Breath Thermo line. These are awesome gloves--go for it!!
Best Uses
Comments about Mizuno Breath Thermo Gloves Handwear:
I am an avid walker and runner and all I want out of gloves for the winter is to keep my hands warm, be lightweight, and have a good snug fit. Tha large size that I usually wear was too long in this glove. I found that the glove was very lightweight and stylish but did not keep we warm in 20's and 30's. I read all the good reviews before I purchased these but they performed poorly for me. I have returned them for an exchange. Stay tuned for my next review.
Comments about Mizuno Breath Thermo Gloves Handwear:
Amazingly warm-I wear these for both running and biking. Even though they look "thin", they work very well.
Comments about Mizuno Breath Thermo Gloves Handwear:
Great gloves for running in 30-40 degree weather. Lets your hands breathe, yet keeps them nicely warmed. We have 2 pair and 2 runners in the family.....we need more !

White was among 17 Southland Conference players included on the four-deep preseason All-America list compiled by the magazine. Earlier this summer, he was listed as one of 10 "Defensive Backs to Watch" in the FCS by Sports Network columnist Craig Haley. He's included on the College Football Performance Awards FCS 2012 Defensive Backs Watch List and was a first-team Preseason All-Southland selection.
White and the Demons practiced twice Thursday in full pads, going through a morning session and then finishing under the lights at Turpin Stadium.
White, who has seven interceptions as a starter in the past two seasons, is noted for his fierce hitting and athletic, ball-hawking ability, along with a highly emotional style of play.
He has 132 career tackles, seven interceptions and has made eight pass breakups.
Last season, White was a second-team All-Southland Conference pick.
He started all 11 games at safety and intercepted four passes, returning them for 110 yards. White also forced two fumbles and broke up three passes. His 59 tackles last season included 12 against Texas State in a rugged 23-10 road win.
White got his interceptions in bunches. He snagged two interceptions against SMU and posted 91 return yards. For the second straight year, he picked off two passes against Southeastern Louisiana, helping trigger a 51-17 homecoming win by the Demons.
As a sophomore, one of his two interceptions at SLU resulted in a 75-yard touchdown as he returned it 27 yards before tossing a lateral to Cortez Paige, who raced down the Demon sideline in a 35-16 victory.
White had 64 tackles that season, including a career-best 13 in a double overtime triumph over Sam Houston, despite playing the last nine-plus games with a fractured right wrist.
At South Garland High, White was a Rivals.com two-star prospect who was recruited by Iowa, Kansas and Marshall, among others.

Final Score: Mets 6 Pirates 0
The Mets (71-84) shutout the Pirates (76-79)by the score of 6-0 tonight at Citi Field.
The Least You Should Know:
Jeremy Hefner started for the Mets and was splendid, allowing three hits with seven strikeouts over seven innings.
Jeurys Familia delivered two scoreless innings of relief.
David Wright collected two hits to give him 1420 as a Met, the most in franchise history.
Ruben Tejada had four hits and two RBI.
The Mets got ten hits from numbers 1-4 in the order.
The Mets went 6-for-8 with runners in scoring position on the night.
Tejada has some work to do to get back to .300, but he helped himself with four singles tonight. Outside of a slump recently – which Terry Collins attributed to fatigue – has been steady all year long. I was worried about who he was and what he might be as a player coming into the season, but he proved me and a lot of other people wrong.
W.B. Mason Post Game Extra
The Mets will look for the series victory against the Pirates in their final home game of the 2013 season tomorrow afternoon at Citi Field, with R.A. Dickey facing Kevin Correia at 1:10 PM.

yeah my sheep is a 1423 is the ManaRing build. She does just fine and i luv it.
AC is HitRAte? I nvr knew that lol!
I'm a little confused. When you say do a 4114 build and add all bonus to AP, do you mean when I create my char, I make 4114 as my starting stats and every time I lvl to add all my points into AP only? Or every time I lvl, use 4114 to distribute my stats and whatever remaining stat points I have left add it into AP?
According to Berrybenya, all bonus points goes to DX for the 1144 Lion build... so confusing.
Which one really is better, all to DX or all to AC?
ok i got only 1 i repeat 1!
im so confused about the whole 1443 or watever i didnt remember but i still dont get wat that means, do u mean the hit sign like u hit a 1443 or somethin of the sort im so confused

Counseling is designed to help people respond to challenges and the associated emotions in healthy ways. Counselors cannot always solve problems, but they provide a safe environment for people with cancer to talk about their concerns. Because counselors are removed from the situation, they provide a helpful, outside perspective.
When to seek counseling
Although it's normal to experience emotional distress while living with cancer, it's important to seek professional help when the distress is long lasting and interferes with your ability to carry out daily activities. However, you may find counseling helpful even if your level of distress is not severe. Living with cancer is an enormous challenge for everyone, and even a few counseling sessions are likely to be helpful.
How counseling helps
Counseling often helps people with cancer and those who care about them. Some goals are to:
- Learn ways to cope with a cancer diagnosis, feel less overwhelmed and more in control
- Explore the meaning of the cancer experience
- Manage difficult feelings, such as depression and anxiety
- Manage cancer symptoms and treatment side effects, such as pain and fatigue
- Learn how to communicate effectively with the health care team
- Address relationship issues and financial concerns that are causing distress
- Explore options and get feedback about important decisions
- Consider professional or workplace issues and strategies
- Talk about concerns you may have about what comes next after finishing treatment
- Learn how to help your family understand and adjust to changes in routine as a result of a cancer diagnosis
- Explore and resolve cancer-related sexuality issues
Types of counseling
The type of counseling you choose may depend on your specific needs, personal preferences, and financial resources. The options include the following:
Individual counseling. This provides a one-on-one interaction with a counselor to talk about troubling circumstances, thoughts, and feelings. The counselor will listen attentively, express caring concern, ask questions, and offer feedback.
Couples or family counseling. When meeting with a couple or with multiple family members, a counselor listens objectively to all participants and helps identify how specific thoughts and behaviors may be contributing to conflict. Family members learn new ways to support one another during stressful times.
Group counseling. A group of individuals with similar concerns may meet together with a counselor who leads the discussion and provides support and guidance. Individuals learn from both the counselor's insights and the perspectives of the other members of the group.
Types of counselors
In most cases, mental health professionals must complete specialized training and pass a state examination before becoming a licensed counselor. The following individuals are qualified to provide counseling services.
Psychiatrists. These are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. In addition to providing counseling, psychiatrists can prescribe medications to treat mental disorders and emotional problems.
Psychologists. These professionals have a doctoral degree and advanced training in diagnosing and treating mental disorders. They are qualified to do psychotherapy and research, but they cannot prescribe medication.
Licensed clinical social workers. These professionals, also called psychiatric social workers, have at least a master's degree in social work and advanced training in counseling. In addition to providing counseling, social workers specialize in connecting patients with community resources and providing practical assistance, such as help managing health insurance issues.
Oncology social workers. These professionals have at least a master's degree, with a special emphasis on the effects of a cancer diagnosis on people and their family and friends. Oncology social workers provide services such as counseling, education, information, and referrals to community resources. In addition, they often act as a liaison between people with cancer and the medical team and help people navigate the health care system. Qualified oncology social workers generally have the letters "OSW-C" as part of their formal title. Learn more about how an oncology social worker can help.
Psychiatric clinical nurse specialists. These professionals, also called psychiatric nurse practitioners, are registered nurses who have at least a master's degree in psychiatric mental health nursing. They specialize in treating mental disorders, and they are trained to conduct counseling.
Licensed professional counselors. These professionals, also called licensed mental health counselors, have at least a master's degree in counseling.
Licensed marriage and family therapists. These professionals have at least a master's degree and specialized training in conducting counseling with couples and families.
Licensed pastoral counselors. These professionals have at least a master's degree in ministry or divinity and specialized training in counseling. Licensed pastoral counselors conduct counseling within the context of religion and spirituality.
Finding a counselor
Before looking for a counselor, consider the type of counseling you need. Ask your oncologist, nurse, or social worker for help evaluating the options. If you are experiencing emotional problems (such as depression and anxiety) that do not improve over time, you may need to see a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, or oncology social worker. If you are looking for practical advice or general emotional support, you might consider a clinical social worker or a support group facilitated by a counselor.
Keep in mind that finding a comfortable connection between you and the counselor is just as important as learning about the counselor's education and skills. You may need to talk with several potential counselors before finding the one that is best for you. When you first speak with a counselor, be sure to ask about his or her experience in working with people coping with cancer.
Here are some tips for finding a counselor:
- Ask about counseling services available at your hospital or cancer treatment center. Many hospitals and clinics offer such services to their patients.
- Ask your oncologist or other members of your health care team for referrals to counselors and counseling services in your community.
- Ask your health insurance company for a list of counselors covered under your plan.
- Ask whether your employer has an employee assistance program (EAP) that provides counseling services.
- Ask members of a cancer support group for recommendations of counselors experienced in treating people with cancer.
- Check your telephone directory or ask your local librarian to help you find information on services available in your community, including those available from your local health department.
- Use the Internet to search for mental health and cancer service organizations. Many of these organizations have free referral services, and some offer limited, free counseling services over the telephone. Find a list of organizations that offer support and services for people with your type of cancer.
In addition, the following organizations offer referral services to help you locate counselors:
American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. This organization has a searchable database (therapistlocator.net) that lists marriage and family therapists in the United States and abroad.
Association of Oncology Social Work. This organization provides a list of qualified oncology social workers in your area.
American Psychological Association. This organization offers an online psychologist locator service.
American Psychosocial Oncology Society. This organization has a toll-free helpline (866-276-7443) for people with cancer and their caregivers to find counseling services in their local communities.
CancerCare. This organization provides counseling performed by oncology social workers, available by telephone or in person at locations in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Mental Health America. This organization provides a directory of local mental health associations that connect clients with mental health services.
National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology. This organization's searchable database (findapsychologist.org) helps people locate doctoral-level psychologists in the United States and Canada.
Choosing the right counselor
Once you have a list of potential counselors, briefly interview each over the telephone before choosing one. Ask the counselor if there will be a cost associated with the initial phone call. Often, a brief initial phone call is free of charge.
The following suggestions will help guide your conversation:
- Describe your situation briefly, and explain your reasons for seeking counseling.
- Ask the counselor whether he or she has experience treating people with cancer or people with other serious medical conditions. This is very important. You do not want to waste your valuable time and money with someone who does not have this background.
- Ask the counselor to describe the approach he or she would use to help you, and ask for an explanation of any terms you do not understand.
- Ask the counselor to explain his or her professional degrees, training, and licensure. You can double-check a counselor's credentials by contacting your state licensing board.
- Ask about office hours, fees, billing arrangements, and insurance plans the counselor accepts.
Many people feel nervous when talking to a new person—such as a new counselor—about personal issues. The success of counseling often depends on how well the counselor and client interact, and not every counselor will be a good match for you. If after several sessions you do not feel comfortable talking with your counselor or you don't think that your counselor's suggestions are helpful, consider finding a new one. And assess whether the type of therapy and the topics of discussion have been an appropriate match for your needs, which will help guide your search for a new counselor.
Paying for counseling
Counseling can be expensive, so it is important to address payment issues before beginning. In general, the cost of counseling is influenced by the counselor's degree of training and by the setting in which the counseling occurs. For example, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists typically charge more than licensed social workers or licensed professional counselors. And counseling delivered in a private practice setting typically costs more than counseling delivered in a clinic or community setting. Group counseling is often less expensive than individual counseling. Most cancer support groups are provided as a community service and are free to its members.
Contact your health insurance provider to learn what services your health insurance plan covers. Most plans cover some of the cost of counseling. Many will pay for a limited number of sessions with a licensed professional. You may be required to pay a copayment (a portion of the cost of each session). Meanwhile, some insurance providers will only pay for sessions with certain types of counselors or specific counselors from a network of providers.
If the financial cost of counseling is a burden for you, consider the following options:
- Some hospitals and cancer centers offer free counseling services to patients as part of their comprehensive services.
- Local health departments or social service agencies may offer free or low-cost counseling services for people with limited financial resources.
- Some community mental health clinics and private counselors offer services on a sliding fee scale, meaning that the cost is based on what you can afford.
- Medical schools and universities with psychiatric or mental health clinics may offer lower-fee counseling sessions. Clients typically receive counseling from students undergoing advanced training who are supervised by a senior professional.
