Flat Falcons lose 22-17 to BuccaneersBy CHARLES ODUM, AP Sports Writer Monday, Dec 31, 2012
ATLANTA (AP)—Matt Ryan refused to accept the rationale for why the Falcons were not motivated for their last regular-season game.
Sure there was nothing for them to gain, having secured home-field advantage through the NFC playoffs. Yes, the opponent was Tampa Bay, which had lost five straight. Plus many fans—who knew all this—decided to stay home, leaving empty seats and a lack of pregame excitement.
Atlanta looked flat, especially early, and the Buccaneers seized the opportunity.
Josh Freeman threw a touchdown pass to Mike Williams and Doug Martin ran for 142 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown, in the Buccaneers' 22-17 victory over Atlanta on Sunday.
Defensive end Kroy Biermann said the Georgia Dome "kind of had a little different feel to it."
"But the bottom line, Tampa Bay came out ready to play and we came out a little flat," Biermann said.
Ryan doesn't want to hear it.
"There's no excuse," Ryan said. "We're professional athletes and we have to prepare ourselves to come out and play. We didn't do a good job of that, especially in the first half."
Coach Mike Smith's hope was to gain momentum for the Falcons (13-3), who will have a first-round bye in the playoffs next week.
"You want to go out and play your best," Smith said. "To go out there and not play your best is counterintuitive to guys in that locker room and it's counterintuitive to us as football coaches."
Smith said he never wavered even after two defensive starters left the game with injuries.
Defensive end John Abraham Atlanta's best pass rusher, left with an apparent left ankle injury in the fourth quarter. Abraham couldn't put his weight on the ankle as he was helped off the field.
Abraham's injury came after starting cornerback Dunta Robinson sustained a head injury in the first quarter and did not return. His helmet hit Martin on the running back's 3-yard gain. Robinson walked off the field and was escorted to the locker room.
Asked if he considered removing his starters after Abraham's injury, Smith said "Absolutely not. We've said from the very beginning that we were going to continue to play this game to win."
Smith said the injuries to Abraham and Robinson are not thought to be serious.
The Falcons' strategy impressed Tampa Bay safety Ronde Barber
"You've got to give them a lot of credit, playing their guys all the way through," Barber said. "They've got a bye week, obviously, but they gave us their best. We knew they were trying to win."
Robinson, who spoke briefly to reporters, said: "You always try to win football games. … We'll bounce back. We'll be fine."
The Buccaneers (7-9) snapped a five-game losing streak for a positive end to a disappointing season. Tampa Bay was 6-4 and in playoff contention before a 24-23 home loss to the Falcons on Nov. 25 started the skid.
"Obviously, ending the season like this and not making the playoffs, it's unacceptable and it's not where we want to be, but I was really happy with the way guys finished today," Freeman said.
Freeman completed 19 of 35 passes for 222 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Freeman returned to his early season form after throwing four interceptions in each of the last two losses.
"We weren't trying to do anything creative or special," Freeman said. "Everybody was just sticking with their job, and we did it for four quarters and we came out with the win."
Asked the difference between the win and the last two weeks, Freeman said "The average stuff. We didn't turn it over."
Ryan's only touchdown pass was his 7-yard throw to Harry Douglas on a fourth-down play with about 7 minutes remaining to cut Tampa Bay's lead to five points. Atlanta's defense held, and the Falcons took possession at their 19 with 3:44 remaining.
The Falcons gained one first down before Ryan's fourth-down pass for Tony Gonzalez fell incomplete with about 2 minutes remaining.
Ryan completed 28 of 44 passes for 238 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. Ryan had difficulty finding open receivers against Tampa Bay's defense, which ranks last in the league against the pass.
The Buccaneers held Atlanta to 65 yards rushing. The Falcons were successful on only 3 of 14 third-down plays.
"When we haven't played well, that has been one of the things that has crept in there and been the main issue," Ryan said of the inability to convert third downs. "We've done a good job of it this year but we did not do a good job of that (Sunday)."
Martin capped his strong rookie season with 28 carries for 142 yards.
The Buccaneers led 16-3 when Asante Samuel intercepted a pass from Freeman late in the third quarter. Samuel's 11-yard return to the Buccaneers 21 set up Michael Turner's 17-yard scoring run for Atlanta's first touchdown.
Turner gained 1 yard on his other five carries.
Tampa Bay answered quickly with an 80-yard touchdown drive capped by Martin's 40-yard run. Martin made a spin move to break a tackle attempt by Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud
The Falcons announced 69,644 tickets were distributed. Many were left unused.
The Falcons' only first-half points Matt Bryant's 28-yard field goal.
NOTES: Martin was the only Tampa Bay running back with a carry. WR Tiquan Underwood and Freeman each had one carry for 1 yard. … Bryant's first-quarter field goal was his 33rd of the season, setting a Falcons record. Jay Feely had 32 field goals in 2002. … Tony Gonzalez reached 90 catches to become the first NFL tight end with five seasons of 90 or more receptions. … Ryan's TD pass gave him a team-record 32 for the season. Steve Bartkowski threw 31 TD passes in 1980. … Jacquizz Rodgers had a game-high eight catches for 50 yards and led Atlanta with 28 yards rushing on five carries.

Just Saying
I don't like HardyPosted July 25, 2013 10:42 am
I wouldn't expect Foreman to have many fans here because of his lack of punching power, but I am a fan due to his pure Boxing skills. It seems that most of you guys only like the brawlers, or the guys with real KO power, but I have always been partial to the guys who can implement the Sweet Science for 12 rounds and control the fight. Good to see Yuri back in action.Posted July 25, 2013 9:28 am

OMG! I'm having the same thing! I'm also 40 weeks tomorrow! Never thought i'd be using breathing techniques while going #2 but it definately helped lol.. I don't want to get my hopes up and say the day is getting close but MAYBE!
There's a lot of things that could be happening. Your body could be getting ready to go into labor (the poo'ing being you cleaning yourself out, the cramps contractons, ect).
I'd give your doctor a call or at least your hospital's L&D and see what they say. They may want you to come in to get checked or may just be able to give you some advice on what you should do/when you should go in.
Best of luck, Momma!

I thought I was the only one hurting when needing to poop - I too have to breath through it... its almost like I'll have a cramp / BH and then feel the need to poop - sometimes I go and then other times it just passes - on a positive note - good signs the body is preparing for the big day! Prayers for you all!

I take two in the morning and two at night. It really works. I read about it in a newspaper column of a pharmacist. He recommended it to relieve splitting finger tips and fissures. Within three weeks they went away almost completely. I still get one now and then, but rarely. I also use plenty of mosturizer and lotion. I used lot of lotion before, but it didn't work without the pycnogenol.

Odontoid fracture
Dr Tim Luijkx and Dr Jeremy Jones ◉ et al.
Odontoid process fracture, also known as the PEG or dens fracture, occurs where there is a fracture through the odontoid process of C2.
The mechanism of injury is variable, and can occur both during flexion or extension with or without compression 5.
The commonest classification of these fractures is the Anderson and D'Alonzo classification 5:
type I
- rare
- fracture of the upper part of the odontoid peg
- above the level of the transverse band of the cruciform ligament
- usually considered stable
type II
- most common
- fracture at the base of the odontoid
- below the level of the transverse band of the cruciform ligament
- unstable
- high risk of non-union
type III
- through the odontoid and into the lateral masses of C2
- relatively stable if not excessively displaced
- best prognosis for healing because of the larger surface area of the fracture

State seizes local business because of delinquent taxes
June 4, 2008
A downtown Tonganoxie business has closed because of more than $30,000 in delinquent sales taxes.
The Kansas Department of Revenue and Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office recently executed tax warrants filed in Leavenworth County District Court for The Light Bulb Place, 616 E. Fourth St., which was owned by Tamara S. and Bryan D. Kemp.
All known bank accounts, on-site cash, business inventory and personal property assets belonging to the owners were seized and the business was sealed closed, according to the KDOR. Seized assets will be sold at a public auction to pay toward delinquent taxes.
Tax delinquency warrants were executed for four separate cases, ranging in dates between January 2005 and March 2007, for a total of $30,696.87.

Once again (Gov.) Scott Walker is showing his true colors. His personal opposition to Affordable Health Care is only hurting the people of Wisconsin. Not only will it cost the taxpayers, he is also trying to confuse them. He is delaying release of insurance rates and information. Badger Care recipients are not being notified they will be dropped from the program so they can shop for new insurance. The advisors to help people through the process are going to be charged outrageous fees and charges, thus limiting the number of people able to help all this just to say the program isn't working.
As for merit raises or bonuses, in lieu of collective bargaining, I can only bet that true walker supporters will be getting them. Will anyone who signed the recall petition even be considered? I doubt it!
An d finally, Walkers promise of 250,000 new jobs will only be achieved by his mysterious manipulation and method of calculating the numbers favorable to him. What a shame!
And this guy thinks he's presidential material? I don't think so!

Pimania is a text-and-graphics adventure game written by Mel Croucher and released by Automata UK in 1982 for the BBC Micro, ZX Spectrum, Dragon 32, and ZX81 computers. It is the first real life video game treasure hunt released in the UK. The player negotiates a surreal landscape with the aid of the mysterious Pi-Man, Automata's mascot. The B side of the game cassette features a bizarre Pimania song played on a VL-Tone and vocals. The Pi-Man also stars in his own long-running, surreal, comic-strip, soap opera in the company's adverts on the back page of Popular Computing Weekly magazine and appears in several subsequent games of different kinds.
Automata gave a prize of a golden sundial worth £6,000 for the first person to solve the various cryptic clues to its location that were hidden within Pimania. The sundial was eventually won in 1985 by Sue Cooper and Lizi Newman, who correctly worked out that it could only be found on July 22 (because Pi is sometimes rounded to 22/7) at the chalk horse at Hindover Hill near Litlington, East Sussex.
In 2010 Feeding Tube Records, a small label in the United States, released "Pimania: The Music of Mel Croucher & Automata U.K., Ltd.", a deluxe vinyl LP album of the musical B-Sides to the Pimania games, as well as tracks from other Automata releases. The album came with extensive liner notes by Croucher and Caroline Bren, as well as a large poster featuring selections from the original Automata print campaigns and was issued in a one time edition of 500 copies.

Love is the egg, see
Lid was born in a cloud with silver lining
But it broke I mean it hatched on the ground so time flew right by me
And while I
I know you thought that life was gonna be easy when you didn't call
You found out you were wrong
See, I know you thought your life was gonna be easy
You thought you had it all
But you found out you were wrong
See, maybe, there was something wrong, and you were telling me no wrong
See, maybe, the laugh's on me, and life was telling me a joke
Something's yours
And you let it go
If it comes back to you
It was yours all along
Well, I let you go, along with those lies from you
I wouldn't want those lies anew
Did the lies just get gone
See, maybe, there was something wrong, and you were telling me no wrong
See, maybe, the laugh's on me, and life was telling me a joke
Hold it now
How do you feel right now
Yeah me too
Hey yeah
Hold it now
You all right
See, do you remember what it's like to wake up in her love nest (get it, love nest)
And now she's gone - gone, gone, gone
At which point you realize life is but a joke, and the laugh's on me
That's funny, right?

Brilliant!! An amazing day which far exceeded our expectations and was a wonderful introduction to our stay in Thailand

This was a pleasant day trip, the highlight being James Bond Island. There were just enough people on the boat any more would have made it uncomfortable. The lunch was very lovely and plenty of it, The only bad comment would be that we were dropped off and not given any explanation what was happening and what we had to do.

The Presence of the Angel of Death
When I was born I felt it's presence.
My first month of life in the hospital I felt the cold hands of the angel of death on one side of me and my guardian angel on the other.
There is one guarantee in life is we all have to face death.
As I visit my grandparents right before they are ready take their journey to heaven the angel of death was there.
With a cold chill I remember back as a new born its hidden presence.
But death lost it's grip and sting to me because I found God, the father, the son, and the holy spirit.
Everlasting life freely given to anyone who ask.
My guardian angel never left my side and neither did God no matter what bad I've done he is there.
Life eternity??

EU calls for explanations from Israel over diplomat scuffle
- Uploaded by antidoteman on Sep 23, 2013
- Views: 157
European diplomats are holding Israel accountable over an incident where IDF servicemen attacked a EU humanitarian convoy in the West Bank on Friday. So far Tel Aviv has left the scandal in limbo, offering no official explanation for the incident. Diplomats from several EU countries have spoken out against the shocking incident of harassing a person with diplomatic immunity, clearly awaiting some sort of official reaction from the state of Israel. After disturbing photos of the French diplomat, Marion Fesneau-Castaing, spread on the ground with IDF soldiers standing around her hit international news, the scandal over hijacked EU aid to homeless Bedouins from demolished villages in the West Bank has gained momentum. http://rt.com/

Breaking: Kyle Kendrick Hearts Backstreet Boys!
For professional sports players, having a personal blog is a dicey gamble. While they provide the much-needed service of allowing sports fans a glimpse - and sometimes more - into their personal lives, it also comes with the built-in stipulation that you're willingly giving fans of opposing teams' more material to heckle you with. Case in point: It has now been confirmed that Kyle Kendrick loves the Backstreet Boys. Run with it, Rays fans!
Writing on his "personal diary" for the series over at PHILLYBURBS.COM - not being on the World Series roster gives him a decent amount of free time - Kendrick spends an inordinate amount of time (i.e. any at all) getting excited over the fact that the Boys from Backstreet were in attendance to sing the national anthem.

Bench experiments comparing simulated inspiratory effort when breathing helium-oxygen mixtures to that during positive pressure support with air

BMC Pulmonary Medicine 2012, 12:62 doi:10.1186/1471-2466-12-62Published: 3 October 2012
Inhalation of helium-oxygen (He/O2) mixtures has been explored as a means to lower the work of breathing of patients with obstructive lung disease. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) with positive pressure support is also used for this purpose. The bench experiments presented herein were conducted in order to compare simulated patient inspiratory effort breathing He/O2 with that breathing medical air, with or without pressure support, across a range of adult, obstructive disease patterns.
Patient breathing was simulated using a dual-chamber mechanical test lung, with the breathing compartment connected to an ICU ventilator operated in NIV mode with medical air or He/O2 (78/22 or 65/35%). Parabolic or linear resistances were inserted at the inlet to the breathing chamber. Breathing chamber compliance was also varied. The inspiratory effort was assessed for the different gas mixtures, for three breathing patterns, with zero pressure support (simulating unassisted spontaneous breathing), and with varying levels of pressure support.
Inspiratory effort increased with increasing resistance and decreasing compliance. At a fixed resistance and compliance, inspiratory effort increased with increasing minute ventilation, and decreased with increasing pressure support. For parabolic resistors, inspiratory effort was lower for He/O2 mixtures than for air, whereas little difference was measured for nominally linear resistance. Relatively small differences in inspiratory effort were measured between the two He/O2 mixtures. Used in combination, reductions in inspiratory effort provided by He/O2 and pressure support were additive.
The reduction in inspiratory effort afforded by breathing He/O2 is strongly dependent on the severity and type of airway obstruction. Varying helium concentration between 78% and 65% has small impact on inspiratory effort, while combining He/O2 with pressure support provides an additive reduction in inspiratory effort. In addition, breathing He/O2 alone may provide an alternative to pressure support in circumstances where NIV is not available or poorly tolerated.

Recent Bottle Bay reviews
"This was an amazing little home on the lake. My family had a great time and can't wait to go back. Peggy the owner was a very nice lady and enjoyable to talk to."Guest: RYAN V. Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 11, 2015View listing
"Our party was made up of 2 families (total of 11 people) for our week at this wonderful house. The house was perfect for our large group! There are 4 bedrooms on the upper floor and they quite nicely accommodated 2 couples (although the master bedroom is WAY larger than the other room with a queen bed, so deciding who gets the master may be an issue if you have 2 families staying here), 4 young adult ladies (bunk room), my elderly mother (room with double) and two young men (stayed in the LARGE lower floor games room). There are 2 bathrooms (one down and one up). The house was well stocked with all kinds of towels including swim towels and it had a great washer and dryer in the large downstairs bathroom. The kitchen has all the amenities you could possibly need and was well stocked with basics, including plenty of dishes and some spices. The dining table is very large, plus there is a lovely deck out back with more seating area. The best part of this property is the fantastic gazebo and beautiful dock. We spent much of our time in the gazebo or swimming in the lake when were "home." The lake is clear and warmish and given that we had 90+degree weather each day, we were in the lake at lot! The house came with kayaks, a paddle board, and life jackets of all sizes. Very fun! We rented a boat from Bottle Bay Marina for 3 days and that was one of the highlights of the trip. We took a trip down to Garfield Bay in the boat, docked at the public dock and had ice cream cones from the store there. The young people wake boarded and tubed and had a blast. Sandpoint is about 30 minutes away, so stock up on groceries your first day. We only had to make one more trip to the store mid-week and we combined that with a night out for dinner. The only cons of the house was the lack of air conditioning. As I mentioned, we had 90-95 degree weather and it was HOT in the house, especially in the bedrooms. There are ceiling fans which certainly did help. We had also brought a portable air conditioner and floor fans from home which we really appreciated. I know the heat was somewhat uncommon for that time of year, but air conditioning would be a great addition. When we first arrived I was somewhat apprehensive about the one-lane road that splits the house from the grassy area and gazebo. But, there are very few cars on the road and we actually enjoyed walking up and down the road and meeting the friendly neighbors. All in all, a fantastic home and location!"Guest: Relaxation Seeker Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 10, 2015View listing
"My family (Including my three sisters families and my parents) all stayed at Larry's house and had the BEST time. Even with little ones we were able to have fun in the water or entertain them in the house. The location was amazing with a huge dock. The inside of the house is incredible. Pictures do not do it justice. I would recommend this place to anyone! Even in the winter I could imagine sitting with a cup of coffee overlooking the beautiful bay!"Guest: Alicia Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 16, 2015View listing
"This was our first time to northern Idaho and we were very happy to stay at the Osprey Nest. It was my wife, me, our 11 month old and my mother in the cabin. The cabin had everything we needed for an 8 day stay and the size of the deck was great. My one concern leading into the trip was the high expected temps (95) and that the cabin didn't have A/C. Since the house faces east, only 20% humidity during the day, is shaded by the trees, and has good wind off the lake, temps in the house were never a problem. The biggest surprise was how close great hiking was to the cabin. About 0.2 miles from the house Gold Hill ascends about 1400 ft in about 3 miles to a great lookout of downtown Sandpoint and the bridges. In eight days, we were able to mountain bike at Schweitzer, race in the Sandpoint Long Bridge Swim, go charter fishing for Kamloops, hike about 20 miles, bum around Sandpoint a couple days shopping, rent a boat for the day and most importantly just relax by the lake. On the last day of the trip my wife and I both agreed, it would be hard to take another week long vacation anywhere but Sandpoint and the Osprey Nest."Guest: Meg Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 22, 2015View listing

2005 BMW 118d • 14,000 miles
I have a 1 series, 2005. It has randomly and suddenly stopped locking with the key fob. In the first instance it wasn't locking with the key, and if I manually put the key into the door to open it, the alarm would go off. The alarm then started to go off randomly and stop going off itself too. Random symbols appeared on the dashboard. I took it to the specialist garage and they fixed everything but the locks. They installed a new fuse unit, thinking it was wiring that was at fault. The key still wouldnt open/lock the doors when I pressed it. I then took it to another specialist garage and I have had the key reprogrammed, a new ecu chip installed in the car which is behind the dashboard (forgive my ignorance with the parts), the car has been with them for 2 weeks and they are baffled. This is the second specialist garage that cant find out what the problem is. I just want to know what the problem is as specialists cannot even diagnose it now! Thank you

It's incredibly difficult to imagine that there is anything new to say about Pablo Neruda. But Neruda, probably the most prolific poet of the twentieth century, provides endless opportunities for his readers, scholars and critics to re-evaluate his oeuvre. World's End (Copper Canyon, 2009) is a treasure-trove of intimate insight, available in its entirety in English for the first time in William O'Daly's careful and precise translation. In this expansive book-length poem Neruda oscillates between moments of vulnerable reflection on his own life and work (including his controversial early support of Stalin for which he denounces his naivety), bitter condemnation of the violence of the twentieth century, and a prophetic poetic voice.
World's End, written towards the end of the poet's life in 1968-69, is in many ways a response to the sometimes naive exuberance of his only other book-length poem Canto General, which was written over a much longer period of time from 1938-49. World's End follows in the epic footsteps of Whitman's Leaves of Grass, but instead of the celebratory and ultimately hopeful sense of Canto General, in this work Neruda bitterly confronts the century of violence he has participated in as witness and activist.
Here we have the mature Neruda. A Neruda of silence and of memory—his own, and historical. Of forgetting and the unforgettable. Here is a Neruda at times disillusioned about the power and usefulness of art in the face of so much violence:
It is our heavy epoch,
the age of iron paws,
the bloody and circular century,
and we must recognize
the wheels of the Apocalypse.
After all, they did not serve us,
the fragile human towers,
everything was soft and breakable,
any painting may be riddled with holes,
a sonata does not defend us,
the books burn and pass on.
(Death of a Journalist)
Despite this horror, this despair, Neruda (and this is why can forgive him so much) is ultimately certain that his work as a writer is vital: "I do not dedicate myself to the ashes, / I go on naming and believing" he writes in an elegy for Oliverio Girondo of the same name.
In the dizzying vastness of the book, Neruda telescopes from the intimate to the expansive. Encompassing everything, he writes bestiaries and indictments of the U.S.'s war in Vietnam, elegies and love poems. He condemns himself with one breath and defends himself with the next. He laments and he celebrates. It is the contradictions that make this work so important, and so human. It is also this unrestrained breadth that makes this poem seem less like a coherent sequence and more like a collection of individual poems.
For a patient reader (or more likely, a Neruda scholar), reading it as a sequence reveals subtexts that form the skeleton of the poem. Confronting the recurring violence, the modern mechanisms of war, the technology of destruction that threatens to overwhelm his humanity, there is silence and forgetting. Ultimately, this is a work about the unforgettable. The shared burden of violence and the responsibility of the poet to remember the unalterable truth. And only once that truth has been committed to poetry is it possible to "forget / so as to sustain hope" ("The Worship II"). This contradiction—silence as the way to bear witness, and forgetting as the way to remember—rests on the plurality of silences and of forgettings. Neruda writes between "the truthfulness of silence" ("The Passion") and the missing who are "crucified in the silence / of this age of agony" ("The Missing"). In a "century of communicating / failed communications" ("Know It Know It Know It") "words will come to an end / all language will be burned" ("Bomb I") because language can't withstand the abuses of propaganda, cover-ups and official lies. Language must lapse into silence in order to recover the ability to remember truth, and in doing so, allow the poet to unburden himself of that truth.
Neruda finds this restorative power primarily in his relationship to the natural world. In "The Idler" he writes:
May the enemy forgive me
if I wasted too much time speaking
with sands and minerals:
I had no real reason
but I learned a lot about silence.
Politics and nature depend on one another in this work, and as the cycle nears its end Neruda reclaims his power as a poet connected intimately to his people, his land and his sea.
But I move forward singing
my song, and the roads tell me
of the many they have seen pass
in this century of people without a country.
And the poet keeps on singing
so many victories, so much pain
This book is perhaps most valuable for the insight it provides into Neruda's political engagement with the major events of the twentieth century, and his contemporary writers. In addition to coming to terms with his role in history, he places himself among (or in opposition to) the great writers, mentioning among others Whitman, Vallejo, García Marquez, Juan Rulfo, Carlos Fuentes, Zola, Rimbaud and Baudelaire. The personal-historical, the mediation of history through the voice of the poet, is most interesting in this case for what it tells us about the poet.
And what it tells us about the poet is told in the voice of William O'Daly, the translator of this book, along with the other eight late and posthumous Neruda books published in this series by Copper Canyon. O'Daly re-creates in English the variety of Neruda's voices within this poem. Surrealism mixes with politics and love poetry, and in the refusal of a distanced poetic voice O'Daly meets the challenge of Neruda's self-implication in a heterogeneous vocabulary and a multitude of registers and dictions. From the prophetic to the elegiac, the nuanced variation of language is beautifully explored in resonant English. In contrast to the melancholic politics already quoted, take this short poem "Physics:"
Love, like the resin
of a tree filled with blood,
hangs out its strange odor of the origin
of natural enchantment:
the sea goes to extremes
or the devoured night
breaks over your motherland:
your soul breaks inside you,
two bells of bone sound,
and nothing happens but the weight
of your body, empty once again.
If Neruda, like Whitman, contains multitudes, then here we come to him in his full multitudinousness. Volumes could (and likely will) be written about the implications of this work in understanding one of the most important poets of the twentieth century. Equally, in reading this book at the dawn of the twenty-first century, we have an unparalleled vantage point from which to reflect on the suffering, the pain, and our implicit share of that guilt of the most violent century in history. The perfection of the technologies of destruction requires the poetics of this book to remember, and to help us forget, the unforgettable.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
I never knew how much fun choosing wedding invitations could be! Susan was so pleasant and patient and had wonderful suggestions and 100's of sample invitations to choose from. I knew what color I wanted, red and we went from there, we chose a pocket invitation with red, black and white, very different and oh so beautiful.
Susan was so helpful and articulate in setting up the wording and print on the invitation. They came out even more beautiful than I could imagine. She calls and emails to make sure every letter and the font you have chosen are placed exactly how you want them.
We had a winter wedding and I wore red velvet and my husband wore a black suit, so the red and black invitation fit our theme beautifully. Susan has a sample of our inivitation, to show others that what ever you choose and if you want something very different like I did, will come out amazing.
She makes triple sure your invitations are exceptional and Susan is such a pleasure to work with!
Thank you Susan!
Susan was wondeful! She did both our invitations and our programs and we couldn't have been more pleased!
In my search for wedding invitations and no-nonsense/stress-free service, I came across www.rebeccawellings.com. This was the best service I've received in years (I thought quality service no longer exist). If you want a fabulous product along with reliable, professional, and prompt service, shop here. Great Prices Too!

I loved my wedding invitations. They were ordered from on online service but the customer service rep Susan Bartlett was amazing. I felt like family was helping me in the process.
Our experience with Rebecca Wellings Weddings was superior. We ordered Invitations with enclosure cards with return address printed on them, Save The Date Cards, Wedding Programs and Embosssd Cocktail Napkins. Everything was beautiful, reasonably priced and of good quality. We submitted what we wanted and were sent a proof for viewing before anything was printed or the order was placed. Susan was a tremendous help and could answer anything we needed to know about Etiquette correctness. We did all of our ordering online and by phone. Susan contacted me when anything was mailed to tell me when it would arrive and everything arrived on time and in excellent condition. When we had a question Susan was always there to help and if we had to leave a voice mail or sent an email, she returned our call or emailed us as soon as she received it. I would recommend using this company and I will certainly use them again if the need arises.

They did an incredible job. The were very affordable and a great deal. They also came faster than I had ever imagined and when they did get here they were elegant and beautiful! I could not have asked for better service or a better price!
Very easy to work with, and great prices.
Wonderful experience.
I loved my invitations! Great price, easy pick up! Wonderful choice!
Susan with Rebecca Wellings was fantastic when it came to helping us with our wedding invitations and programs. They both looked GREAT!!! Thanks again for your help to make our special day a dream come true.
Susan, at Rebecca Wellings, helped me with all of my stationery needs for the wedding including all of the following custom items: invitations, RSVP cards, direction cards, accommodation cards, programs, place cards, and thank you notes. Susan helped me channel my my desires and expectations and turn them into a creative process that produced the most beautiful ensemble of wedding stationery. On our first meeting, Susan patiently searched with me to find a reasonable place to start with the invitations. She actually spent three times the amount of time we had originally agreed to! Susan was also dilligent in working with the printing company to make sure that they produced exactly what I was looking for. She ensured that I received digital proofs for every item and covered those costs as a discount due to the bulk of the project. When I fell behind in the decision making process, she would email me and help me get re-involved in the process to produce each item in a timely manner. Susan masterfully guided me through the process of following traditional wedding invitation etiquette- which is exactly what I wanted from the start.
I came with a vision of a William Arthur invitation that I certainly could not afford, and Susan helped me create a beautiful invitation that was an even more beautiful derivative. She communicated directly with the folks at the printing company to arrange special printing services, etc.
I was in love with and continue to be so in love with the ensemble that she and I created together that I plan to have those items framed together to serve as a keepsake.
Susan was the most energetic person that worked with me in regards to the wedding. Her energy was infective and would help to motivate me to push forward when the process became tedious.
It asks for an approximate cost of the services rendered. Truthfully, I have no idea at this time how much I spent on stationery. The answer is a guesstimate.
Rebecca Wellings Weddings offers excellent service and support in selecting just the right wedding invitation! Susan Bartlett was exceptionally knowledgeable and patient in guiding our daughter in the selection of her wedding invitations. Her prices are good, she is conscious of your budget and Susan is very willing to work with the mother and the bride! Susan offered many good suggestions regarding wedding plans and I would highly recommend using Rebecca Wellings Weddings!
Susan Bartlett was a wonderful resource in planning our wedding. She helped us with invitations, favors, thank you cards, and other items that I otherwise would have forgotten about! She will help you find something beautiful in your budget and is very patient with us indecisive brides. Susan is full of helpful hints and advice, as well! I highly recommend her to anyone!
Very Professional Service ,Would Highly Recommend them !
Rebecca Wellings really takes care of her brides! She was able to give me many different ideas on invations and napkins. I planed my wedding in a very short time but she was able to came through for me. Not to mention she gave me a great price!
Rebecca Wellings is such a wonderful resource for brides. She is knowledgeable and has wonderful and unique offerings in invitations and favors. She is extremely professional and provides a one on one service with you that you deserve. I highly recommend her!!

Lately, I've been having some pain on my internal (uterus) scar. I had a bikini line scar. I'm 14 weeks pregnant and if I move too fast or cough hard I feel pain. Is this common? Does this mean I will have a lot more pain once the baby starts growing and stretching out my uterus even more??
On the April 2013 board another mom mentioned her friend had the same pain and during her VBAC felt like the scar was being ripped open. Ouch!
I think I prefer a repeat c-section, but not sure if my do will allow it. Here in Ontario they are encouraging VBACs for those who can.

Today is said to be one of the most stressful and depressing days of the year as holiday credit card bills are due, New Year's resolutions slip away or already have, and the lakeshore is covered with snow and ice.
Feeling a little down?
Today is said to be one of the most stressful and depressing days of the year as holiday credit card bills are due, New Year's resolutions slip away or already have, and the lakeshore is covered with snow and ice.
It is a day some refer to as Blue Monday.
Although local experts say it is a little far-fetched to identify just one day as the most depressing of the year, the dreary days of winter in mid-January do wear on a lot of people, even West Michiganders.
Financial issues
Gail Cunningham, spokeswoman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, said the first quarter of the year is historically the busiest time for their agencies, as bills begin arriving and consumers experience serious buyer's remorse from overzealous holiday spending.
Concerns related to the basics of life, things such as paying the rent or mortgage, putting food on the table and keeping the lights on, can wear on a person and put put significant strain on their home life, Cunningham said.
"Debt is a problem that is with you 24/7. It's there when you wake up, while you're at work and in the middle of the night," Cunningham said. "You're not as good a parent, spouse or employee. It even has adverse effects on your health."
According to a 2011 poll by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, financial distress following the holidays is most harmful to marriages and health.
"Financial stress — right there is a huge stress for peoples' lives. I've seen many marriages that are in other ways quite strong brought to their knees because of financial stress," said Steve Thomas, psychologist and clinic manager at Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services.
Seasonal, post-holiday stress
Not only does the cloudy cover and lack of sunshine wear on people today, but post-holiday stress might still be lingering for some.
"People do get depressed based on lack of sunshine," said Nick Lim-Howe, a clinical psychologist with the Happiness Institute.
With large family gatherings, there might be increased likelihood of family conflict and feelings of loneliness and bad moods might be amplified because of the closeness that is promoted by Christmas for those who spend time alone during the holidays.
"They're stressed out being around their families or recovering from the hectic time of Christmas and New Year's ... and New Year's resolutions are notorious for not really working out," Thomas said.
Look for the positive
Finding happiness in the dead of winter doesn't have to hinge on spending money. All that is required is a little creativity — host a potluck, board game night or discover a new outdoor hobby, Lim-Howe said.
Page 2 of 2 - Thomas and his staff sometimes recommend patients suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder or depression plan something to look forward to, like a vacation or family outing, to get them out of the mid-winter slump.
"In Michigan, we have longer winters and that March, April time is when it really is pressing on people," Thomas said.
He also works with his patients on the concept of mindfulness and present awareness and learning how to appreciate each moment even when you are going through a rough period.
"To live in the past and be focused on the past is a big factor in depression. To live in the future and focus primarily on things you have minimal control over is anxiety."

OK, I've searched through the archives and seen plenty of discussions about kickstands. That's not what this is about. I'm looking for a way to support our Tandem when there's nothing to lean it against. I built a nice setup out of wood for my basement, but it weighs a ton and I really want something I can throw in the back of the Minivan and take with us (but not along on a ride). I saw the threads about workstands and that's a little more than I'm looking for. I was thinking about the kind of display stands you see in the bike shops, but wasn't sure if they'll support a tandem.
Any ideas?

The most obvious problem would be an incorrect shutter speed when flash is used. If the shutter speed was too high the flash and shutter can't synchronize - the result is a black strip or entirely black frame on the negative/slide, depending on how far off the sync was.
Check the manual to determine what the maximum flash sync is for your camera - it's probably around 1/125 second. Make sure the shutter speed is at or below that speed when using flash.
If you weren't using flash when these problems occurred then there might be something wrong with the shutter but I'd first want to consider other errors such as setting the exposure incorrectly for a given situation. This may explain totally blank frames, but not partially blank frames - the latter would most likely be due, again, to incorrect flash sync or a shutter problem.

The MOP
Item Description
Washington, D.C., is a world of acronyms. FBI, CIA, NSA, DOD, the list goes on. Unlike the rest, the MOP doesn't stand for anything. It is simply the name given to the small, top-secret team of American agents within the government that answers to only one man, the Director of the CIA. The Director of the CIA, risking perjury and personal liability, will deny, to his death, the existence of such an organization. Every president of the United States since Reagan knew that there was "something" out there, to be used at the discretion of the Director of the CIA, but none ever asked. There are some things that even the president of the United States of America doesn't want to know. And so long as you like to sleep safely in your bed at night, you don't want to know either. When it gets messy, you better get out the mop.

The easy part of the relocation is done (well, not easy for Atlanta, but you get the point). Now it's time to figure out what happens next, specifically the relocation issue.
As of now, all indications point to the Winnipeg Jets (that's what we'll use until we know the nickname for sure) staying in the Southeast Division for one season. It's too late in the process of getting next season's schedule laid out to realign the divisions. The Jets will be doing some serious flying.
But that's all short-term. Of course the Jets aren't going to stay in the Southeast permanently. It seems natural to put Winnipeg in the same division as the other Western Canadian teams -- Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. To do that, there will be some collateral damage.
It starts with booting a team from the Northwest, the most likely candidate being Colorado. The Avalanche get booted to the Pacific Division, sending the Stars into the Central. Alternatively, Minnesota could head to the Central, but it doesn't seem to be quite the geographic fit that would result from Colorado moving. Either way, a new team is entering the Central Division and that brings up the biggest question of all: Who moves East?
|More on relocation
It's no secret Detroit wants to be in the Eastern Conference. The organization and its fans -- who have a Facebook page dedicated to changing conferences -- have been very vocal about their desire to switch conferences, citing less travel, less road games in the later time zones (Detroit is one of two teams in the West sitting in the Eastern time zone), and renewing rivalries with Original Six foes Toronto, Montreal, Boston and the Rangers.
"Fingers crossed, toes crossed, saying prayers," Red Wings senior vice president Jimmy Devellano said about a possible move.
"I've gone on record saying we'd prefer to be in the East, but I haven't heard anything and I'm just worrying about putting together our team for next season," GM Ken Holland said on Monday.
The Red Wings have long held the belief they had a promise from the NHL that they would be the next team to go East. Oh, if it were only that simple.
Yes, it makes sense to move the Wings to the East. But it also makes sense to move Columbus. Same goes for Nashville.
The problem for Detroit is it might be too valuable to move. Nobody in the Western Conference would want to see the Wings fly away -- well, maybe from a competitive standpoint -- because of the draw they are at the gate. They have as big of a fan base as you'll find in the States. Bottom line: it's guaranteed to be a big crowd on the road. The foes in the West don't exactly want to see that disappear.
Plus we have a little imbalance issue by swapping Atlanta for Detroit. You are sending a team that has made the playoffs once in its history to the West for a team that has made the postseason 20 consecutive seasons. You could make the argument that the conferences need a little balancing anyways, that the West has been the better half top to bottom for a few years, but that's a significant upheaval.
But let's have some fun here. Let's imagine a Detroit move to the East happens. You likely aren't going to send them to the Southeast, so some shuffling will be needed. Most likely scenario would be putting the Wings in the Northeast with Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Buffalo, dropping Boston into the Atlanta spot and moving either Pittsburgh or Philadelphia to the Southeast. Surely you see the downsides in that. Bruins-Habs in separate divisions? Breaking up the Keystone State rivals? Really, there's no way that makes much sense to put the Wings in the East while keeping important battles going without just dropping them in the Southeast -- which, again, makes little sense.
So it might still happen, but I'm thinking sorry Detroit, you're stuck where you are.
Geographically speaking, the simplest solution seems to be putting the Predators in the Southeast to fill Atlanta's spot. Everybody else in the East stays the same. But, despite its location being so far East, Nashville doesn't sit in the Eastern Time zone. Columbus does. And the Blue Jackets would prove a pretty comparable swap franchise-wise with the Thrashers.
In the end, while Detroit can hope and pray, Columbus and Nashville will be the odds-on favorite to swap conferences, with my thinking it will lean toward Columbus. But Detroit has a whole season to politick.

text: Hi, I have questions regarding capillary action and capillary depression for practical purposes. I'm fairly educated in physics and chemistry, but have some "what would happen if..." questions. Please help, and add any information you'd think helpful! 1) Imagine you have your typical capillary pressure illustration: a glass cup with water in it and a hydrophilic tube sticking out of it. Capillary pressure drags the water up into the tube and above the water line of the cup. What are the main forces acting on the water in the tube? a) My answer: gravity pushing down, while the capillary pressure from the adhesion of the water to the walls of the tube pulling up. Then why, when you take away the base cup, does the water fall out the bottom? I understand the water in the cup pushes up, but it also pulls down from cohesion. I thought these forces would cancel. Now, imagine a hydrophilic capillary of changing radius, like "V" but turned upside down like ^. Now, put a drop of water in the middle of the capillary. We know the smaller the radius, the more pulling power. Is the drop just going to fall out without a base cup of water? Will it move up the walls towards the smaller radius? Imagine the same scenario, but the capillary is a regular V (not turned upside down) but is hydrophobic, so water needs pressure to get in. Drop a drop of water in the middle of the capillary. What happens, especially without a "base" of water anywhere? Can there be capillary action/depression without a "base cup" of water on the outside of the capillary? These questions are actually for fabric analysis of wicking and capillary depression. Thanks for any help.
