Memorable Biscotti Recipe
The enticing aroma of anise filled the kitchen and wafted through the house as Mom baked these crisp cookies when I was a girl. Mom always kept a big glass jar filled so we had a supply of these traditional cookies on hand. —Cookie Curci, San Jose, California
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon anise extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in almonds.
- 2. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease the foil. Divide dough in half. On the foil, form each portion into an 11-in. x 3-in. rectangle.
- 3. Bake at 300° for 35 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully remove to wire racks; cool for 15 minutes. Increase heat to 325°.
- 4. Transfer rectangles to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-in. slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets.
- 5. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn and bake 10 minutes longer or until firm. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.

maybe you should get tested for sleep apnea. if you have sleep apnea, your unable to go through an entire sleep cycle bec you wake slighty to get a good angle for air. this is seen a lot with people with back problems. its a simple study done by the doctor, and if you have it, your life would change, huge. happened for my uncle.
Go to this site for your answer
Ok you need to go on this website, symmetrydirect.com and try one of there hebal vitamins Specifically Ultra vitality. I had the same problem and let me tell u I am now like a energizer buddy.
I suggest you reading books, especially about life, and love. I think you can have a better feelings in this way.
Maybe religion can also help you. I know religious people that stand terrible problems. This is because of hope.
For sure you need a source for HOPE. This can be your family, God, or even a thought. Someone that understand you, and what you feel. If you have a family, or friends, try to communicate with them more often. I'm sure this will help, because I had the same problem, and no one wanted to(or could) help me but my family and my best friend...
From the movie ``Fight Club'':
Narrator: When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep... and you're never really awake.
As far as emotional stress is concerned, try yoga it really helps you relax.
get a good multi-vitamin with a B complex, perhaps a ginseng supplement, and some green tea.
It might sound a little odd but hey you dont have anything to lose AND it doesn't cost...so listen up...
When you go to bed try putting yourself in "sleep mode". Try relaxing, even if it's just breathing in and out. Take a deep breath in, and let it out slowly. Do this a few times, dont over do it so as to not get "boring" everynight, if you keep this up i'll bet my neighbor's car that it'll relax you when you go to bed. If you do any other activity on the bed like watch tv or study or ANYTHING else, quit it. ONLY go to bed if you're gonna go to sleep or.. get intimate but that's beside the point. The point is that you have to set your mind KNOW that when you go to bed it's sleep time, and it should be able to get you a bit more rested. IF these dont work, ask your doctor about LUNESTA. :)
About the tired part, it's good to take some multi-vitamins and try drinking NATURAL drinks -not sodas or SUNNY-D *eek*. Take the time to breathe in and out when you are stressed out throughout the day, you dont have to make a big deal out of it, simply take a big breath in, and let it out slowly.
Anything anyone will say here is worth a try, but remember, none of it will work unless you APPLY it to your life... keep it simple, keep it nice. :) g'luck.
It's a 5-letter word! Can you guess it?!?!?!
You should google an energy diet. Some foods naturally give you energy. Energy drinks, caffein and pills etc give you energy for a short amount of time. Changing your diet should give that all day boost to help you gaind some energy back into your life. Try: http://www.mentalhealthproject.com/content.asp?id_Content=580
Red Bull..it gives you wingsssss..haha but i heard it takes like crap...Monster works too
Try an energy drink! Also try some vitamins to help increase energy as well
drink energy drinks
I personally would reccomend regularly(daily) taking a sublingual B-12 vitamin. B-12 deficiencies are a very common occurence and it is proven that taking it daily will increase energy and overall mood. Best of all, it won't conflict with any other medications you are on. Also if you might list the names of your prescriptions along with the amount of each taken, it would help in determining what the source of your lack of energy was. Best of luck!
Try using A.C.T. It will increase your energy, make you feel good and still allow you to sleep at night.
It's one of the best products I've ever used.
drink energy drinks
Sugar free red bull or (I prefer) sugar free sobe because it contains 100% vitamin C
take some vitamin supplements. i take SURBEX-T and it has really helped me. i also had memory problems and i remember much easier now cause this year i've done the best in school ever. my grades were all great.
I know what you mean because I've had a lower back injury that I got from playing badminton and I easily get tired. I suggest that you target the root cause of your tiredness first and try to rehabilitate your lower back. Physical therapy will help and so will chiropracty. It may be that your pain meds are dulling your pain in such a way that you don't feel it but your body is still taking the strain. If you are overweight, this may also be adding strain to your lower back so try to lose weight.
smoke some chronic...
it may sound cliche but i swear it will help.
california grown chronic™
its medicinal and legal out here!
itll help you sleep deeper
Carol P
Chronic pain will do that and it sounds like you should talk to your doctor because you may be depressed. Not at all unusual considering how much stress you have physically and mentally with that condition.
They can help with excercise diet and maybe even a depression medication for a period of time.
There may even be a group for pain management in your area.
Chronic pain is more than just the physical pain, you have lost a big portion of your life and of course that is sad, aggravating, maddening and a whole bunch of other emotions.
You look whole but there is a big portion of yourself that just isn't there anymore and you may be greiving it with out realizing it. Focus on your capabilities, manage the pain and screen for depression. It stinks but you just have to learn to do what you can, fight for yourself and don't be afraid to ask for help.
Try taking a multi-vitamin and B-6. It really helps me get a little more energy throughout the day. Also, for your back, try swimming. Good luck!

David was a huge hit at my 60th birthday party. His smooth and pleasing voice is a pleasure to listen to, and just the right volume as to not inhibit conversation.

David was easy to reach, very communicative, arrived ahead of time and played past his contract time. We could not be happier with him.- Hugh H

Very quiet and cool; great performance.
Tiny Bundle; $10 more than the Gigabyte card.
MSI's GTX 660 is an all-around great card that includes a healthy dollop of overclocking and a side of Frozr to keep it cool. Its base clock speed is a decent 53MHz over stock at 1,033Mhz, and when running at full load we saw its boost clock speed rise 130MHz over stock to 1,110MHz, which is also higher than the stock boost-clock spec. The Twin Frozr III cooler sports three copper heat pipes, aluminum fins, and dual 8cm fans housed in a metal-alloy shroud to direct the airflow. Like the other GTX 660 cards, it uses just a single 6-pin power connector, but unlike the others it sports an extra-long 9-inch PCB (Gigabyte's board is just 7.5 inches but the cooler is actually 9 inches long).
In testing, the MSI board ran neck-and-neck with Gigabyte's similarly clocked offering, losing every test but one by a very slim margin. The cards were also a tied in the category of noise/cooling, as they both ran silently under full load at a mild 63 C. The MSI Afterburner software is usable but nothing to email home about and the board's skimpy bundle consists of a single Molex-to-PCIe adapter along with the software CD.
Overall there's a lot to like about MSI's Twin Frozr OC Edition card. It's quiet, cool, and performs very well, and we like the look of its gunmetal shroud and glinting metallic badge. However, the Gigabyte GTX 660 board performs just as well and is just as quiet, and since it costs $10 less, that's enough to give Gigabyte the advantage. If you are an MSI fan and/or a Frozr aficionado, you can get the 660 OC Edition for the same $230 price via a mail-in rebate, but since we hate rebates we'd rather just go with the Gigabyte and get the savings at the virtual cash register.

2700 huh lol
2700 huh lol
That is most definitely a ripoff. The ticket signature complete was $2600 and came spec'd with a fox 831. That is a ticket 30 which is around a $700 bike.
that what i said! lol if he paided 2700 bucks i would expect fox shocks and top parts! for that price i could build a nasty yeti
OK, apparently somebody else communicated that to this guy, cuz he knocked it down to $1050, as of about 3 minutes ago.....
Still too much.
He'll get the point, I believe, when nobody contacts him about it.

I never knew there was a business in buying items at market price & selling them back for more
just a n00b with an ego
PT Barnum invented that business -- it's called 'fleecing the suckers'.
Capitalism baby! The Craigslist in Vegas gets to be a war of words when people find out they have been ripped. Some people are trusting of what they read. To quote Mr. T, "I pity the fool!" Its out of context, but it works.
I think its disgusting and terrible how people treat Lance Armstrong, especially after winning 7 Tour de France Titles while on drugs!

he has it down to 850 now lol
Yeah I sent him an email yesterday just for sh**s & giggles, told him he was my hero if he could sell it at a 50% markup. Guess the BF spam was too much to handle...but not enough to make him honest
just a n00b with an ego
id pay 500 tops for that bike
That would be right in the ball park.
but i wont lol for 150 bucks more i can get a brand new bike lol

Good recipe - suggestion - add quartered fennel bulb to this recipe and there'll be no need to add ouzo - the bulb will supply the additional anise flavour as well as extra nutrition.
Very good! Suggestions of adding fennel or sambuca are interesting and I just might have to try them.
This was incredible! I only made it to use some of the Pernod we have - otherwise we'll never finish it. The flavors were all perfectly balanced. I don't like licorice and was afraid that the anise and Pernod would be too strong for me. It wasn't - it was just awesome! We will make this until the bottle of Pernod is gone (which will be a sad day, but I'm not buying more).
Really flavorful and smelled so good while cooking. I used Sambuca instead of ouzo and left out the aniseed as I didn't have any and was too lazy to go to the store. I don't think the recipe suffered a bit. Excellent!
Excellent recipe! I used boneless chicken breast and instead of ouzo, added 1 tsp. of fennel seed to the anise seed before crushing. I didn't sprinkle the feta on top because I served the chicken on top of Miss Annie's Macaroni Pastitsio with Feta Cheese Macaroni Pastitsio with Feta Cheese. The two recipes complement each other wonderfully.

Buffett, With Heinz Deal, Achieves 19th-Century Image of Robber Baron
its history to 1891. A November 2011 deal for newspaper conglomerate Omaha World-Herald indicates Buffett could have used ink, pulp and opinionated broadsheets to publish fiery screeds against the robber barons of a past day and age.The $300 million deal for the Omaha World-Herald put a newspaper conglomerate that traces its heritage to the mid-1880s and a highly political editor, William Jennings Bryan, who opposed gold and the titans of early U.S. industry, within Berkshire's coffers. Other recent Berkshire acquisitions would have never happened had target companies not survived the Great Depression or seen a business opportunity in its wake. Berkshire's $9 billion deal for Lubrizol put a company in Buffett's growing portfolio of industrial businesses that was created just prior to the Wall Street crash of 1929. Lubrizol, founded in 1928, was incorporated to sell a graphite lubricant called Lubri-Graph. The company later expanded to a chemicals and materials behemoth that is a key supplier to the transportation and industrial sectors. Berkshire bought insurer Geico (Government Employees Insurance Co.) for $2.3 billion in 1995, taking control of a business that was created in the throes of the Great Depression to provide insurance to federal employees and enlisted military officers. In November, Berkshire paid $500 million for The Oriental Trading Co., a direct marketer of novelty products and toys founded in 1932. The company, formerly owned by private equity giant The Carlyle Group (CG), was one of the earliest wholesale companies in the U.S. Some deals even aim for the assets of titans of industry from a previous age, which blazed the trail for Berkshire's current diversified structure. In 2007, Berkshire bought a controlling stake in Marmon Group, a conglomerate spanning 125 businesses founded by Jay and Robert Pritzker, for $4.5 billion. Even when targeting stock investments, Berkshire and Buffett largely avoid younger startups. Consider that Berkshire's largest technological holding is IBM (IBM - Get Report), a present-day tech heavyweight that traces its history to 1911 and mechanical business machines. All told, Berkshire's $28 billion acquisition for H.J. Heinz may say as much about Buffett's long-term investing philosophy as it does about the Oracle's growing presence in the pantheon of American industry. While Buffett is unequivocally one of the titans of present-day U.S. business and finance, deals such as Berkshire's acquisition of Heinz indicate Buffett may be of a timeless breed. For more on Thursday's deal for Heinz, see how Berkshire used its 'elephant gun' for M&A. Also see why Wells Fargo, Berkshire's top bank stock holding, may be benefitting from its relationship with Warren Buffett. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York Follow @AntoineGaraIn 2008, Berkshire provided key financing to Mars in its acquisition of Wrigley, a Chicago-based soap and baking products company known for its popular chewing gum that traces

15 years after the NFL left L.A., SoCal fans bolt to Qualcomm
Updated: December 22, 2008, 12:52 PM ETBy Stuart Levine | Special to ESPN SportsTravel
• Photo gallery: Qualcomm StadiumIt's been nearly 15 years, but in some ways it's still hard to believe Los Angeles is without an NFL team. Not that we're complaining, of course. Speaking for many locals, Angelenos are perfectly fine watching our favorite teams on TV each Sunday without worrying about blackouts, and we're not willing to pony up for a new stadium, either. The last team here left a bad taste in our mouths, but then again, the Raiders tend to stink up ...

Rated 1 out of 5 by Nowifi1234 A hotel with no wifi This is probably one of the worst hotels to stay in for the average business traveler. Wifi is critical to work and play - the wifi at this hotel simply did not work - would not connect across multiple devices. I had two colleagues traveling with me and between us we had 8-9 devices - none of which would connect to the wifi satisfactorily. My colleagues attempted to contact support - one of them never received a call back and the other was put on long holds and an hour later still did not get his device connected. My experience with the breakfast service was even worse - a $18 breakfast with a $4 additional charge for a poorly brewed cup of cappuccino. Breakfast quality and spread was mediocre - no wheat bread. Very poor service. I will ask for a different hotel next time I travel to Pleasanton. May 30, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by KH19 OK at best I was traveling for a funeral and this was the recommended hotel. Thankfully we did get a group rate because I would not have wanted to pay full price. We were put into the handicap accessible room so there was limited counter space compared to the other rooms. The strike on the door was installed incorrectly and stuck out - my mother hurt herself on the door strike repeatedly and tore her brand new blouse that was to be worn for the funeral. We complained and the solution was to put tape over it until it could be fixed. We were never offered a room change or upgrade for the issue. The hotel did pay for the ruined blouse. Our room was not cleaned twice out of 4 days. The only compensation was 2500 points and that didnt even cover one nights stay. In addition the block of rooms we reserved were all over the complex - none of use were together -normally when I have stayed in other hotels when we have a block of rooms reserved they are together or in a centralized location. Very disappointed. May 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dazeydaze1 Low key hotel In a nice garden setting The only drawback is that the bathroom doors Auto-close making it difficult to go back and forth. I had to use my suitcase to keep it open. Room 512 May 20, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by SpacemanSpiff From shrug to bad I have made 5 stays at the hotel in the past month or so. During my first couple stays, the hotel appeared basic and I didn't think much of it. Then the last stay was bad- 1. My room had noisy guests on both sides and my sleep was bad. The bed had hair on it on the first night and had clearly not been cleaned thoroughly prior to my check-in 2. The air-conditioning was iffy and not cooling the room enough 3. I have signed up for the green choice on all my 5 stays and yet I have had 2 stays where points have not been rewarded. 4. I have had 2 stays where the folios were not emailed to me. 5. Food at the hotel restaurant is expensive and meh. On a busy night you're lucky if you get attended to within 30 mins of sitting at the table. 6. My room didn't have a refrigerator (which I had always had in the past few stays) and this was 85F-90F week. I was told that I had to pay $10 extra. I have another reservation coming up next week. I will decide during that stay if I am ever coming back. May 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Alice Incompetent Staff Had a mediocre experience at this hotel. Dropped off clothes for dry cleaning and they totally failed to get them cry cleaned - for someone on a business trip, that's very important. Upon checkin in, no apologies offerred and no resolution. May 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DCV1099 Beware of bar/restaurant We sat at the bar the first night of our stay. when we ordered our beers they were $6.00, when we paid for them they were $6.50. When our friends came an hour later and ordered them they were $7.50. All Bud Lights. The bartender took two of our beers before they were finished. I thought the food was overpriced for the quality. I would rather go to a hotel where I can trust the bar/restaurant service and quality. April 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BlueSky77 Friendly, helpful staff... The front desk clerks were very welcoming and friendly at check in and check out. The garden setting in the pool area was very nice. We enjoyed the large sized whirlpool / hot tub, and the availability for early morning access. April 22, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Frankey Unmade Room Arrived at 11:30PM, Wednesday, 3/5.

Rated 4 out of 5 by cabailey Good, solid SPG property Clean rooms, beautiful grounds, convenient to 580/680 interchange & BART. My only complaint is that the room I got didn't seem to be a Platinum upgrade and there wasn't any water. First time I've seen that at any Four Points. The hotel wasn't full at all, so I would have expected a slightly better room. However, this is a solid property and I would absolutely stay here again. The room was very clean, the bed was great and there was a nice patio overlooking a beautiful garden. Plenty of parking and close to lots of shopping. March 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jansen Very nice and helpful staff I had to check out early and due to some technical details, it took more effort than I thought to make the change. The staff and manager were there to help taking care of it and made sure everything was okay. Thank you so much and I would definitely stay there again. March 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Pleasonton022014 Staff was unresponsive to problems I tried for two days to have an internet access problem addressed, including half an hour on the phone with IT. Everyone had a different explanation as to why I could not connect in my room, but could in a coworkers room with the same computer. Cleaning staff did not come at all one day. When I requested coffee packets and towels, they brought coffee, but no towels. Additionally, when I arrived, the thermastat indicated a repair person was needed. The repair person did arrive quickly, but the indicator was on again a day later. February 21, 2014

Cleaning service had a similar problem with it as I found my room WIDE OPEN when I returned at the end of the day. Unacceptable of course! After reporting it to the reception they mentioned the compaint was passed along but NOTHING was done to fix it. Worst hotel I've seen in a long time and should really not carry the Sheraton label.

question unpacked multislider behavior
I'm just starting to play with the Max/MSP demo and building some interfaces. I had a question about the multislider output that I was hoping someone more experienced might be able to help me with.
Basically what I am trying to do is have a multislider where each slider sends a different MIDI CC out. To accomplish this I've tried the following…
Cable the multislider list out to an 'unpack' object with the correct number of sliders specified. Then each outlet from the 'unpack' object goes out to a 'number' object which in turn is cabled into a 'message' object that has the values ($1, MIDI CC#, 1). Finally, this is cabled into a 'ctlout' object.
Now the first slider works correctly, but all the other sliders simply send out the last value entered on the first slider. Any of the sliders work if cabled individually, but as soon as I configure more than one it all stops working.
Also, every slider seems to send the first fader's value even when not connected. I thought that the unpack object separated the values in the list. Is there something I'm missing?
I know this may be a completely dumb and easy question, but I seem to be stumped. I've attached my example patch with the first two faders cabled.
Thanks for the help
i'm trying to work on a solution for you, but very busy at mo; you may have to use a bank of single sliders for this; multislider has a slightly different function, and is often used as a display rather than for user input. Look at the help files for the following objects: [table], [mousestate], [change], you might get a solution from these. Sorry not to be more help.
hi may day!
as brendan already suggested, the solution is simple:
connect the multislider to three unpack objects (each having three int arguments)
and connect each of these unpacks (from the according outlet) to its own change object
and the change objects go to your message for ctlout.
good luck!
Put [change] objects between the [unpack] outlets and the [flonum] objects. [unpack] will send out the contents of the entire list, right to left, even if only one value in the list has changed.

"The issue (of data protection) is alive and kicking. Although we are of the firm view that it is not a TRIPS obligation, we recognise that the inventor of drugs should have a comfort level. There should not be unfair commercial...
As BYOD becomes common, the importance of Internet Security
December 14, 2015

These devices, endowed with the power of the internet, carry important documents and passwords that form a virtual identity for organizations, especially with BYOD policies becoming a trend. Therefore, it is essential organizations ensure that they have the best of internet security to guarantee that their identity is not...
Hardcore Pirates are reportedly banning Windows 10
August 24, 2015
There's casual Pirate Bay piracy, and then there's private torrent trackers: members-only clubs that share the best movie and TV rips among themselves. As you'd expect, they tend to be pretty hardcore about privacy, enough so that some groups are banning members from using Windows 10. As TorrentFreak reports, groups like iTS and FSC have been freaking out about the new Terms of Use for Windows 10 - specifically, the bits that let Microsoft scan your hard-drive for...
Pesticide MNCs get data protection
January 3, 2006
Gireesh Chandra Prasad , TNN
NEW DELHI: In A major shift in its stand, the agriculture ministry now favours the multinational pesticide makers' demand not to rely on the costly safety data that they submit for approving cheaper copies by follow on applicants. It has told a committee headed by chemicals secretary Satwant Reddy that such protection for innovator's data should be provided for three years, in line with India's obligations under the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (Trips)
IT Act may get data protection teeth
February 25, 2004
NEW DELHI: Taking note of a serious gap that could affect India's sunrise BPO sector, the government is looking at the possibility of amending the IT Act 2000 to insert certain data protection clauses instead of enacting a separate legislation for it. "There is a need to amend the IT Act 2000 to include data protection clauses in it for our BPO and outsourcing industry", sources associated with the process said, adding that enacting a full-fledged law...
Pharma MNCs lobby hard for data protection
November 26, 2002
KG Narendranath , TNN
NEW DELHI: The government's position that India is not TRIPS-agreement bound to legislate separately on the protection of invention-related data of pharma companies would now be too hard to defend. Following China, which on September 16 allowed six-year protection for the innovator applicant's data revealed to the regulator for marketing approval, the Russian government has now proposed six to 10 years of data protection to the Duma. The Russian law to this effect will be effective by...

Panel to evaluate pharma companies' need for data protection
February 18, 2004
KG Narendranath , TNN
NEW DELHI: Good news for pharma MNCs. The government has constituted a high-level committee (under Pratyush Sinha, secretary), to examine whether it should accede to their demand for data protection. It would be the committee's mandate to find out why the protection was warranted, if at all it was, and how it would be enacted and enforced in case of a decision favouring the MNCs' stance. This marks the reconsideration of the merit of the controversial demand, which was...

Moinak Mitra , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: While companies are largely worried about physical frauds, such as procurement frauds, bribery and corruption, it is the big picture of how businesses are evolving with technology thrown in that still baffles them.

can anyone please explain, with an example if possible, how to load dynamic content inside an iscroll div and assign a new height to it?
I can get it to work but I can't control the height of the scroll for the new content.
I'm new to all this and have no clue were to start.
here's what I'm working on:
when the page is loaded you see the scroll bar where there's no content... clicking on print/damm (shows the height I originally set for this content) clicking on print/fcbarcelona (maintains the same height and position of the scroll you used before) as you see it's not working as it should. obviously, I don't want the scroll to be there when it's not necessary.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

(Photo Courtesy: Twitter) Of all the things that have made Nebraska football, well, Nebraska football through the years, one is the school's famed walk-on program. A tradition which was started decades ago has placed countless players onto the Cornhuskers depth chart through the years, not to mention sent 29 straight guys to the National Football League. Not bad. Especially since the school isn't paying for those scholarships. Still, with all those non-scholarship players passing through the program, none may have come with more fanfare than a Florida defensive back who will try out for the club next fall named Ishmail Jackson. And the hype around Jackson has little do with football. That's because Jackson- a Hollywood, FL native- just so happens to be related to a pretty famous Hollywood, California actor named Matt Damon. That's right, the man who has made waves as Jason Bourne and as part of other cinematic classics as 'The Departed' and 'Good Will Hunting' has a nephew who may be a Cornhusker next year. How you like them apples? The relation between the prime-time actor and small school football star is a bit obscure; Damon's wife Luciana Bozán Barroso is Jackson's nephew, yet apparently the relationship between the two is very real. Damon accompanied Jackson to orientation at the school earlier this week and seemed to pop up all over the Twitter feeds of Cornhusker fans in the days which followed. And it's safe to say that from Jackson's comments, both he and his uncle were impressed. Here is what the future Husker told 247Sports.com: "It was Matt's first time and he was amazed," Jackson said. "He said Nebraska had so much to offer. We went through the whole orientation process. He found out a lot of stuff he didn't know. He was like 'Man, I love this. It's great. The setup here is great. They don't want you to drop off.' That's the main thing he liked about it. The college is not going to just let you be out there on your own. There's help everywhere to get the help you need." Whether Jackson will ever see the field in Lincoln remains to be seen. Still, it's safe to say that after the visit, the Cornhuskers have a new fan in Damon.

Next, they need to hire GAMERS who are used to strapping on a war face for 10 hours at a time every day.
What happens when the first gamer to miss a target rage quits, allowing the drone to crash into the orphanage filled with children?
Or weren't...A La Ender's Game. Make the drone pilot believe he is playing a training video game.
Unfortunately the drone pilots kept crashing the drones. When asked they replied, "The gate is always down".
My Acer Iconia Tab A700 almost fits this description.
It doesn't have a full sized USB port, but it does come with a micro to full-sized USB adapter, which is a reasonable compromise as far as I'm concerned. The USB port supports every USB device I've tried, including keyboard and storage devices ranging from thumb drives up to a 1TB portable hard drive.
It has a micro SD card slot.
It has (micro) HDMI out.
Has built-in GPS, though no offline maps. That would be nice, I agree.
I don't know why this thing hasn't sold better - it's a fine tablet whose only major flaw seems to be "not a NEXUS".
The $450 price tag would be my guess? Drop it to $300 and I would buy it.
Pirating Britney Spears can net you a larger fine and longer jail term than hacking a bank.
Of course the real punishment is having to listen to your pirated Britney Spears album.
What I want to know is when someone is going to take on the jetliner market. Maybe a SpaceX-like company could come along and eat into that market a swell. Then Airbus will join Boeing and the others in complaining and sweating.
I would venture to guess that the safety requirements for an airliner are much higher than an unmanned rocket. If a SpaceX rocket has an issue, there is money lost, but they will be able to analyze the problem and get it right the next time. If a startup builds a jet that goes down due to a design or mechanical flaw, the loss of life and subsequent lawsuits will put it out of business.
What's the phrase that my boss uses?
"You should be happy you have a job to go to. A lot of people don't."
I would expect my employees to start looking for a new job if I had this attitude. A good boss will realize that if the staff is living in fear of being fired, the quality of the work they do is going to be impacted. I want my employees to enjoy coming to work and to not feel guilty if they are sick and either need to leave early or not come in at all.
If an employee tries to take advatage of this, I will deal with that specific situation, not create a blanket policy to hide behind.
Managers who are not morons tend to overlook it because they don't want you to come in sick any more than you want to be there sick. If you do get excessive about it, however, they may pull that out and make you start taking time.
As a manager, I agree. I don't want my employees here when they are sick. Not only are the getting the rest of the staff sick, the quality of their work is often impacted.
We have PTO with sick and vactation rolled together. I try to accommodate all requests for time off, regardless of the reason. The last thing I want is for my employees to feel they have to lie to get time off to take care of personal business or just because they just want a long weekend.
