South Dakota-based Great Western Bancorporation says it is buying the company that owns First Federal Savings Bank of Iowa for $41.5 million.
The corporate parent of Great Western Bank expects its deal for North Central Bancshares to close by summer.
Great Western president and chief executive Ken Karels says the acquisition will enhance Great Western's presence in Iowa.
Under the deal, each share of North Central common stock will be converted into the right to receive $30.58 per share, a 39-percent premium over the March 12 closing price.
The deal will bring Great Western up to 200 locations throughout Iowa, Nebraska, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and South Dakota. The company says that after the closing, it will have assets of about $8.9 billion and deposits of about $6.7 billion.

Uh, no.

Posted by Chunkypeaches on Feb 16, 2013
You cannot sneak this into my cats' food, for anything in the world. I have resorted to brushing the teeth with a finger brush, as no powder in the world can be added into their water or food, without discernment and total avoidance.
My cats won't eat it

Posted by 5339873464114713956 on Mar 23, 2014
Unfortunately, none of my 4 cats will touch their food with this product on it. I'm sorry, but on my experience, I can't recommend it.
Posted by 4844893105478627183 on Oct 15, 2013
good but eating not well
Hopefully this helps
Posted by Reviewer2528718 on Feb 24, 2012
I've been using this for a couple of weeks in my two cats' (wet) food. I hope it works to keep their teeth healthier, and it would be a huge bonus if it helps their stinky breath too! I think this powder has a smell to it, but it doesn't deter my cats from eating their food at all!
My cat won't his food if it is sprinkled with this supplement
Posted by Reviewer1085415 on May 06, 2012
He is really fussy with any food, though, so maybe it's just my cat!

Editor's View: Soroptimist offer a hand up to worthy women in community
By: Deric Rothe
Inside the Fishbowl
This week, Soroptimist International of Auburn gave several thousand dollars in scholarships and encouraged many women in our community to take charge of their own destinies. The money and encouragement help empower those on society's fringe and those excelling from an early age. The annual awards presentation at Sizzler restaurant evoked a few tears. With a strong wife, sister and three capable daughters whom I love dearly, and a beloved mother who recently passed away, I admit that I am preferential toward women. As editor/general manager of the Auburn Journal, I also see too many young ladies headed the wrong direction with no help in sight. Many young women in our community get involved in violent, possessive relationships and fear there is no way out for themselves or their children. There is help out there, and the Soroptimists of Auburn truly make a huge and positive difference. The Soroptimist Women's Opportunity Awards, and programs like Peace for Families, provide a vital hand up to women on the brink of disaster. I have seen local girls go from desperation to a sense of deep pride and accomplishment. That's a wonderful transition – from needing help to helping others. Jina Gloor was honored Monday with a $1,000 scholarship. Jina got pregnant at 19 and said she found life with an abusive boyfriend difficult. She dreamed of being a nurse and helping children. "People told me it's impossible to get into nursing school," she said. Life can be difficult with a now-7year-old daughter and as the head of her own tiny household. But Jina's hard work and perseverance is paying off, Jina has been accepted into the Sacramento City College nursing school. She is now working at Kaiser Pediatric urgent care. She is also a Girl Scout leader, setting a fine example for younger girls that through belief in yourself, a dream and one step at a time, anything is possible. Jina's success over rough obstacles is one of many motivational stories I have heard over the years while attending the annual Soroptimist awards banquets. I know many of the Soroptimists personally and each has a story to tell, many about hardships they also have endured. Former Auburn mayors Cheryl Maki, Annabelle McCord and Supervisor Harriet White are all Soroptimists. Current President Kristi MacIntosh and her husband Ollie take in special-needs kids and spend their time with them. That takes a giving person. Kay Whitaker, co-owner of Ceronix, and Jeanette Yetka of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce could spend their free time traveling or enjoying their golden years in leisure activities. Instead their involvement in Soroptimist International, helping girls and other women locally and globally, takes up the bulk of their free time. There are some amazing ladies involved. At Monday's meeting the following Auburn-area women earned awards. Ruby Award – Dr. Holly Leeds. Dr. Leeds is a local healthcare advocate who has been instrumental in helping women with breast cancer and without insurance get financial assistance. She urged those attending to tell their housekeeper, a waitress or anyone they know without insurance to come to her Auburn office for a screening. Violet Richardson Award – Elia Rivas. Elia has been involved with the Sugar Plump Fairies since age 6. Her mission is to help children access the arts – music, theater and creating artworks. The Sugar Plump Fairies give "Artrageous" grants to children who greatly benefit. Woman of Distinction – Liz Briggs of Auburn Drug Co. "Liz gives and gives and gives and gives some more," said her presenter, Kathleen Harris. "She exemplifies the character we are looking for and she is a character." Briggs responded, not surprisingly, by asking others to get involved. "I encourage you all to volunteer," Briggs said. "Auburn has many opportunities." Sierra College Scholarship – Jessica Bidart. "I am trying to go to the Rhode Island School of Design," said the $1,000 winner. Placer High School Scholarship – Claire McCoy. This young lady is active in soccer, dance, her church and has been on four charitable missions to Mexico. She wants to study child development and eventually be an elementary school teacher. She is looking at UC Santa Cruz and Chico State University. Ruth Johnston Scholarship – Celeste Havener. Celeste was Environmental Club president, active in the Spanish and Interact clubs and is planning to major in environmental engineering, possibly at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Women's Opportunity Awards – Along with Jina Gloor, Michelle Layland, age 38, is getting her act together. "Today, I have a new perspective on life," she said. After enduring many hardships including cancer, she said she is beginning again. "Anything is possible," she said. "I am proof of that. Believe in yourselves." The most compelling moments of the awards ceremonies were the heartfelt speeches of the givers and receivers. Soroptimists work diligently all year to raise funds to help give girls and women a chance. It's a life-changing effort that is worthy of recognition. Congratulations ladies.

Burger King wants to shake up the fast-food "breakfast battle" with the debut today of a revamped morning menu that includes blueberry biscuits and combo plates.
Some items are priced as low as $1.
"We're ready to compete to be America's wake-up call with our new BK� Breakfast Menu," said Mike Kappitt, Burger King's chief marketing officer in North America.
[gallery order="DESC" columns="4"]
The change is not surprising given that breakfast continues to be an important category for the industry during the recession, especially quick-serve restaurants.
According to market research firm NPD Group, breakfast accounted for nearly 60 percent of the restaurant industry's traffic growth over the past five years.
Subway introduced a new lighter breakfast menu in the spring, a few months after McDonald's debuted a dollar breakfast menu.� And we're all still waiting for Irvine-based Taco Bell to debut its breakfast menu, which has been in test mode for more than three years.
"If not for the breakfast daypart faring relatively better than other dayparts, restaurant visit declines over the last two years would have been steeper," NPD said in a recent report.
Here's the new� Burger King breakfast menu lineup, which is available until 10:30 a.m. daily:
- BK Breakfast Ciabatta Club Sandwich: eggs, tomatoes, ham, bacon, American cheese and smoky tomato sauce on a toasted Ciabatta bun made with whole grains. Cost: $2.89.
- Mini Blueberry Biscuits: four mini treats served warm with a side of vanilla icing for dipping. Cost: $1.
- BK Ultimate Breakfast Platter: a combo plate option with scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, a biscuit and pancakes. Cost: $4.29. Also available as a Pancake and Sausage Platter or the Pancake Platter (Suggested retail price of $2.89 and $2.29, respectively.)
- The chain is serving Seattle's Best Coffee in small, medium and large sizes. Cost: $1, $1.19 and $1.39, respectively.� Iced Seattle's Best Coffee is also available in three flavors: mocha, vanilla and regular. Cost: $1.89.
Burger King said its BK Breakfast Value Menu, which launched in early 2007, will stick around. The blueberry biscuits are part of that menu. Other longtime favorites will remain on the regular breakfast menu including the Croissan'wich, the Breakfast Muffin Sandwich and the BK Breakfast Bowl.

Messing around and came up with wiggling eyebrows (kind of). Thought of many time I could use a set of eyebrows in the shout box....comments?
Daily DeviationGiven 2011-08-01
Today is the first day of the "Legend Emotes week" and I present you Wiggling Eyebrows by ~matrix7 better known as :eyes:! I have seen a few revamp tries for this emote but none of them have a chance against it. The simplicity is the key for success here. ( Featured by Krissi001 )
I didn't choose to get a DD for this. It was done as a joke and they admins chose to add it and the users chose to use it.
Not the normal stuff I do and DA was much much smaller back then (been here ten years though not active all of those). Check my gallery for more of my work man.

My new WFXPDL button-downs arrived today, after what felt like eons but was actually three days! I tried them on as soon as I got home ('scuse the weird dark pictures, my lamp broke) and boy oh boy, are these magical or what!
Not only do they look hella spiffy (and kind of make me feel like my dad? Not a bad thing) but they actually fit. Buying shirts (/anything) is generally the worst but these are on point. The sleeves get a little short when I stretch my (weirdly long) arms out but that's about the only thing I could manage to scrounge up a small complaint about, so I think I'm good.
They're lightweight enough to wear on their own in early fall and then layer up when it gets colder, but unfortunately the temps are hitting 90° again tomorrow so I don't think I'll be able to take any of these for a spin until the weekend. You can bet that when the weather allows, however, these are going to be in heavy rotation. The WF crew also hooked me up with some dope suspenders that I'm looking forward to sporting as well. Photos to follow, duh.
All that remains is figuring out how to fit the remaining 5 WFXPDL styles into my budget, because I need that to happen.
(PS that bottom pic is me trying to figure out if I'm as cool as dese tomboys yet… still workin on it.)

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 394 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by CSBSeattle Nice, not great Nice location, but needs to be refurbished and modnerized. Bathroom was old and worn out, A/C unit would cool room (I prefer it cool to sleep), so probably needs some boost, zero cell coverage, which makes no sense in today's world. Overall, it's fine and nice, but not top tier January 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarCrev Nice stay Wonderful room overlooking the pool in Building 9. The gentleman that checked us in was very helpful and attentive and set the tone for a wonderful evening. We will be back January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1Ali The hotel has great features Very comfortable and quiet. January 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Farid123 Great resort Excellent facility. I've been at this resort several times and will go back again December 31, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by RufusInHI Fantastic Family Oasis/Resort in Palm Springs/Rancho Mirage OVERALL IMPRESSION: Plain and Simple; this is a very large Golf Resort and Spa in terms of real estate. The resort is very large and spread out with several pools both for family and adult only. While dealing with many guests in this large resort, I found the hotel staff to be very accommodating and genuinely friendly. If you are looking for an intimate and VIP attentive service, this may not be your resort. If you are looking for a children/family oriented resort, you found the right hotel resort. Looking forward to our next visit. SPG RECOGNITION: Yes, upgraded to a Suite. But had to make several inquiries to get a room with a better view and location closer to the Front Desk. Management eventually went out of their way to offer one of the Presidential Suites. THANK YOU! THE ROOM: Very Clean and Well Maintained, Suite was extremely large and well appointed. LOCATION: In the heart of Palm Springs Golf mecca. Great expansive resort with many choices for swimming pools and golf courses. Lots of family oriented activities and of course...Golfing. EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS: The hotel valet and shuttle personnel are extremely accommodating; they provide great hospitable service. Please note that it was well over 118 degrees during our weekend stay in August; and the valet personnel did not hesitate nor complain about any service they provided. KUDOs to the them during this taxing time with the extremely (record setting) hot weather. EXTREMELY BELOW EXPECTATIONS: The Hotel Resort lacked a SPG Club Lounge for VIP Guests. December 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by AS19 This hotel is very beautiful. Nice resorts. Excellent service December 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by DMo26 Nice Property The layout and grounds of the property are nice. Our room was a showing it's age a bit, but still fairly comfortable. The food and Pinzimini's was excellent. December 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Walters11 Staff is Outstanding Second stay in 3 weeks, the hotel is amazing. One of the key points that makes this an outstanding stay is the staff. Every member of the staff went out of their way to make this stay wonderful. Check in was fast, helpful and responsive. I asked for a room close to the pool because my 11 year loves to swim, no problem, done! The people taking care of the animals on site made sure to include all of the kids at feeding time. The grounds keepers even took the time to explain the garden or give you a ride to your room. All of these people were professional and make this a great place to stay. We will keep coming back again and again. December 4, 2015

Music of award-winning student composer recognized country-wide
Culture | Abby Stocker for The Clarion
Junior Jared Hedges recently won the John Kenneth Cole Composition Prize, a national award that recognizes "young creative talent in the field of modern musical composition." | Photo for The Clarion by Drea Chalmers
The first time Jared Hedges wrote and performed a composition in public was five, maybe six years ago. His piece for piano must have been a success with the listeners at his home church, because they asked him to compose the music for their Christmas services for the next few years.
Flash forward to Hedges' junior year of college, when a group of Bethel instrumentalists and vocalists performed three of Hedges' original pieces at his junior recital on April 22. It's a step up, but these days, he's thinking even bigger—nationally-advertised, competition-winning big.
Hedges, a junior music composition and English literature major, recently won the John Kenneth Cole Composition Prize, a national composition award recognizing "young creative talent in the field of modern musical composition." The prize is selected and awarded by the musicians and conductor of the Portland-based Oregon Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra and aims to encourage young composers of orchestral chamber music.
"What made Jared's work stand out was the musical maturity that it displayed," said Dr. Jeff Sprecht, music director and conductor of the Oregon Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra. "Young composers too often do several things. They use as many instruments as they can fit into a work, and they use so many modern compositional techniques that the work becomes full of gratuitous dissonance turning the work into an assault on the ears...What really impressed me was the way in which [Hedges'] work seemed to express a lot musically with the least amount of musical notation."
And if all goes according to plan, Hedges will be in attendance when the Oregon Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra performs his "Meditation Upon the 88th Psalm" at its world premiere on May 17. The work, written for a group of 20-30 violins, violas, cellos and basses, wasn't originally based on the psalm but seemed to fit.
Sprecht agreed with Hedges' vision. "The work evokes a mood reminiscent of the 88th Psalm...by using a dissonant accompaniment with the recurring theme that the resolution remains unsettled. The work keeps the listener on edge, awaiting a final resolution that eventually comes, but it appears only conditional."
"Hearing something that you've written is a very unique experience," said Hedges, noting that commissions to compose for the choir at his home church played a "huge part" in helping his work gain a public presence. "The performance is a prize in and of itself."
As a composer, Hedges noted, most pieces are written on commission for a particular group or occasion. Still, with most early "performances" limited to computerized instrumentation, he said ultimately, "you're creating a map for the performer or musician who will perform it...it's hard to let go of what's written down on the page."
Long term, Hedges hopes to study composition at the graduate level. In the meantime, he's been busy organizing his junior recital—a half-hour showcase of the music he's written in the past year.
The program, which includes a piano piece in three movements, a choral piece based on a text by Christina Rossetti and a song cycle based on the investigative journalism of Nellie Bly, will be a chance to view Hedges' compositional strengths over a wide range of pieces.
"You start to see that sense of style," said Jon Veenker, Hedges' composition professor. "We spend so much time looking at very individual pieces at very close detail, but it's not often that we get to step back."
"I'm never sure how to respond when people ask what style you write in," Hedges admitted. "As a composer, you hope people will say you write in a Jared Hedges style, [that] you have a distinctive voice in the way that truly great composers have."

Wisconsin's James White hopes to follow friend's path into NFL Draft
MADISON, Wis. -- James White sees a lot of himself in Gio Bernard. When they were teammates at St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, they'd share spin-move secrets, discuss when to make cuts in the open field or best positions for the screen pass -- usually over video games.
In the house, where Bernard lived with White's family for a year, White's mother, Lisa, treated the two equally. If Bernard needed a meal, she'd pay. If he needed a ride, she'd drive.
|More on James White
|Related links
|More college football coverage
That's why White, positioned for a breakout as Wisconsin's senior running back, feels a little like he's getting drafted this week, even if he must wait a year.
Bernard, an elusive running back/punt returner out of UNC, who was selected in the second round -- No. 37 overall -- in the NFL Draft on Friday.
Bernard's backstory is well-documented. The family struggled emotionally and financially after Bernard's mother, Josette Liberious, died of cancer in 1999.
His father, Yven, lived in a small apartment in the Fort Lauderdale area while Bernard lived with a nearby family for stability.
NFL Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter took an interest in Bernard, who played with Carter's son, Duron Carter, in the South Florida youth football circuit. Carter helped usher Bernard into Aquinas, a private-school powerhouse and NFL pipeline.
Yven's apartment in Boynton Beach was too far from the campus, so Bernard lived with White, whom he also met through youth football, their entire senior year.
Bernard was the feature back, but White said the team played him at fullback as a way to get him on the field. White was far from an afterthought, rushing for 960 yards to Bernard's 1,579 in their junior years while leading Aquinas to a second consecutive 5A state title.
But White finds it funny that he can't remember the last time he started a game outside of fill-in time when Bernard got hurt.
Montee Ball, who was also taken in the second round -- No. 58 overall -- on Friday night, owned the Badgers' starting job for most of the last three years. As usual, White thrived as a wingman. He enters his senior year with 32 touchdowns and 2,571 yards on 422 carries.
Ball and White are tight, too. They roomed together for a year at Wisconsin, White said. But his history with Bernard, coupled with Bernard's personal struggles, have him hyped for his selection.
He knows Bernard's time is now while his is coming. White will share carries with Melvin Gordon but has the inside track to start the opener against UMass.
"It's a dream come true for him -- for both of us, really," said White of Bernard, who used to sleep in White's older brother's room while he was off to college. "We're pretty similar. We joke around with each other, about what our strengths are, trying to copy off each other's game, make fun of each other about who gets tackled from behind most."
With 4.53 speed and elite punt-return ability, Bernard doesn't have this problem often. The 5-foot-10 White is also known for elusiveness.
White considers his shared time at running back a blessing -- that means less mileage. NFL teams might like that, he figures. He knows he can play every down if necessary but doesn't have to. Wisconsin wants to play three good running backs, first-year Badgers coach Gary Andersen said.
Andersen wants to preserve Wisconsin's storied ground attack while enhancing the passing attack, which is fine by White -- that means more versatility.
"You just have to be an all-around player," said White, the sixth-ranked running back in the 2014 class by CBSSports.com. "That's what they are really looking for, someone who can catch the ball out of the backfield and block and be able to get those tough yards."
White says he never felt slighted by his long-time supporting role. He considers himself a patient guy. He's happy for his friends.
But make no mistake, he's thinking about April 2014. That process starts now. If he's Wisconsin's starter this season, he'll proudly call that personal validation.
"At times you find yourself wanting more," White said. "But whenever you get your opportunity, you have to run with it. That's what I'm doing."

OAKWOOD, GA. — King's Hawaiian will undertake a significant expansion of its Oakwood operations, including a tripling of its production capacity in two projects: an expansion of its current facility to double that facility's production and the addition of a new approximately 120,000-square-foot plant.
During 2014 and 2015, the company said it plans to add about 300 additional jobs for a total of almost 500 jobs in Oakwood. By the end of 2014, the company's investment in Hall county, Ga., will exceed $100 million since its arrival in 2011.
Financing for the expansion has been completed with GE Capital leading and Manufacturer's Bank and Farm Credit participating. Advising King's Hawaiian on the financing were Seyfarth Shaw for legal, Avison Young for real estate and Stifel Nicolaus for investment banking.
Founded in 1950, in Hilo, Hawaii, by Robert Taira, the company is still owned by the Taira family. Robert's son, Mark, has led the company since the early 1980s. The company operates two other bakery facilities and two restaurants in Southern California. In 2010, after reviewing opportunities in several eastern states to build a new facility, the company picked Oakwood, in Hall county, and completed its bakery there in late 2011.

Wattsy posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi all, 2 weeks ago I purchased a Ford Focus Ghia with 22000 miles, FSH and a years MOT in a private sale for £5600 which I thought was a good price. Yesterday, I went to start the car and got nothing, just a quick whirring sound and then silence. I tried this a couple of times to no avail. Apparently, upon inspection, it appears that the cam belt has snapped. Firstly, has anyone had any experience or knowledge of this happening in a car so early in its life and secondly what kind of repair scenarios am I looking at. I have no mechanical experience what so ever beyond changing bulbs and filling it with petrol so I'm looking for any advice on what to do. I know there is little point in contacting the previous seller but are Ford's liable in anyway bearing in mind the car's age or am I just unlucky? Any help is appreciated. Nick

We now know there are at least three different Paige Greens floating around on the internet. One is the former Raiders cheerleader who will soon marry John Elway.
Another Paige Green had a very public engagement pronouncement in the SEATTLE P-I two years ago, and now is married to a gentleman named Reagan Dunn.
And a third Paige Green is a B-Movie actress listed on IMDB.
We're not the first to confuse the multiple Ms. Greens, but Friday we reported that the woman who was noted in the Seattle engagement announcement was the same person who is now engaged to John Elway. That isn't the case, and all apologies to all parties.
Today's water's wet, sky's blue story is brought to you by TMZ.com.
Warren Sapp's an a$$hole: "Our spies at "DWTS" tell TMZ Sapp's big head and man-diva attitude are causing problems. We're told he talks down to everybody (especially the guy dancers and production assistants), yells at people and consistently walks out of rehearsals with partner Kym Johnson."
Well at least he has his chronic halitosis to fall back on.
Remember those two goons from COI (that's City of Industry to non-Angelenos) who are trying to lure the NFL to The Basin?
Not. Looking. Good. *shock*
On my trip to Seattle with the SbB Girls, the weather was gorgeous, and I will now forever maintain that when the weather is good there, there's no more beautiful city in America.
That said, Seattle is also home to some of the sourest citizens I can remember coming across in all my travels. I stumbled into an epidemic of passive aggression during my two weeks there. So this post by A.J. Daulerio in DEADSPIN today was none to surprising:
The only guy I'm guessing who was surprised? Bob Glauber of NEWSDAY.
The FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM reports the city of Arlington this month "reached its $325[M] limit" on the new $1.1B Cowboys stadium.
The "remainder of the bills incurred for the stadium will be paid" by the Cowboys.
What will that cost? Matt Mosley of ESPN.com reports one million dollars per day.
By September 18, Arlington had "paid out $318,999,999.52 on the stadium project," and the remaining "$6,000,000.48" has been "put in a retainer account so the city can pay any settlements or judgments that result from pending lawsuits related to land acquisition for the project."
What's the .48 supposed to cover? Wade Phillips credibility? - the next time he embarrasses himself defending Terrell Owens?
One of the hottest college football coaching properties is Mizzou's Gary Pinkel. Did you know that Pinkel was also once the offensive coordinator for Don James' (badass) UW Huskies in the '80s?
Think Ty Willingham is aware of that fact? If he wasn't, he is now. (Uh-oh.)
Peter King to Dan Le Batard on 790 The Ticket in Miami said today the Dolphins last Sunday would've beaten the Patriots even if New England had had Tom Brady at QB: "I think they would have, the Dolphins killed them. I don't think Tom Brady makes a difference in that game."
Sadly, Le Batard didn't ask Pete about the coolest thing that's ever happened to him in a Starbucks.
Michael Hiestand of USA TODAY has a piece on Jay Glazer today. Highlight: "(Glazer) sleeps with his cellphone plugged in his ear … and 'friends and girlfriends understand it's my constant lifeline.'"
Girlfriends? Plural? Sure his Current absolutely loves that.
MJD of Yahoo Sports has this gem from Matt Millen's wife: "We're fine. In the world's view, this may look like failure. It's been a hard road, footballwise, but we've gotten a lot of eternal blessings. We'll move forward. I told him, 'You're out of football prison now' and we have a greater purpose."
Millen was in a football prison? Then why was it the fans who got … you know. From behind.
From a COLUMBUS (OH) DISPATCH piece on the shoes the Columbus Crew wear:
Others couldn't care less about their footwear. One Crew player with a shoe contract said he forgot his shoes when he traveled overseas to an international tournament. He said he went to a local sporting goods store, bought a pair for $30 and noticed no difference between the cheap shoes and his normal top-of-the-line model.
He requested not to be identified because the shoe company that provides him footwear and performance-based cash incentives would not be pleased with the tale.
BTW, I still love inserting the (OH) after Columbus, since I know that aggravates the people there so (I lived there for five years). Hehe.
Finally, Curt Schilling from his 38 PITCHES blog gives his opinion on the NEW YORK TIMES:
The NYT! Seriously? A paper run by people and writers who have made it clear that Governor Palin is the Anti-Christ and a group that couldn't dislike Senator McCain more than they do??? That's hilarious. I say that because both sides seem to be doing much of the same, but come on, you could shoot for another source that isn't so blatantly biased and full of crap. Should be called the "New York Enquirer"
So how do you really feel,
fat big boy?

Trans-Aral Railway
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2014)
The 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 27⁄32 in) broad gauge Trans-Aral Railway (also known as the Tashkent Railway) was built in 1906 connecting Orenburg and Tashkent, then both in the Russian Empire.[1] For the first part of the 20th century it was the only railway-connection between European Russia and Central Asia.
There were plans to construct the Orenburg-Tashkent line as early as 1874. Construction work did not start, however, until the autumn of 1900. The railway was simultaneously built from both ends toward a common junction. It opened in January 1906, linking the existing network of Russian and European railways to the Trans-Caspian Railway.
An extensive description of the newly built railway was published in 1910.[2]
After the revolution the line was blocked by Cossacks under the command of Ataman Dutov. Cut off from food supplies, and unable to sustain itself due to forced cotton cultivation, Russian Turkestan experienced an intense famine. The temporary loss of the Trans-Aral also allowed the Tashkent Soviet a degree of autonomy from Moscow during the period immediately following the Bolshevik takeover, which resulted in atrocities like the Kokand Massacre, in which between 5,000 and 14,000 people were killed.
The line passes through several notable cities in Kazakhstan, including Aral, Qyzylorda, Turkistan, and Shymkent. It connects at Arys with the Turkestan-Siberia rail line toward Almaty, eastern Kazakhstan, and south Siberia.

Newbie 3rd Shifter in WI
Hi, my name is Rae I work full time 3rd shift and I am fat. Nice to meet you too! LOL
I am in the process of going through my second divorce and a single parent of 3 very active and skinny boys (ages 10, 8, and 6). My x husband and I have 50/50 placement of the boys. I work the nights I don't have them, so it works out.
I am a very happy person, I joke a lot about my weight...even though I hate being this big. I didn't realize how big I looked (ok I did, but didn't think it was that bad) until I saw some pictures of me (on Facebook) at my son's baseball games...and I thought, "omg I can't believe how huge I look". So this is the turning point.
I do talk about how I don't want to lose weight for the following reasons:
1-I would have to go shopping for new clothes (I HATE shopping, I can't afford to keep buying new clothes, and I like the ones I have..lol).
2-Being fat keeps me warm in the Wisconsin winters..saves on electricity bills.
3-I won't have to learn any new recipes, because I like what i already know how to make..lol
4-My boobs will get smaller if i lose weight (and I like my boobs!).
5-Having a belly allows me to save space by putting my plate on my stomach while I am eating..so I don't drop crumbs all over and make a mess!
6-When my boys cuddle with me, they don't need to bring a pillow, because I am already "fluffy" (their words).
But of course as everyone knows there are many many more reasons why losing weight is a good thing.
There are more, but after working the last 30 of 38 hours (still 4 more to go), my brain isn't quite working..lol
Anyway, it is nice to meet everyone....and I wish the best of luck to everyone out there!

3rd shift is the worst for weight, not to mention overall health. My last graveyard gig, I'd have to duck out halfway through for coffee and a doughnut (or two) just to stay awake, then on the way home I'd be so wiped out I'd hit Mickey D's drive-thru instead of cooking real food. Is there any way you can get off 3rd?

Good luck, it's very hard to lose while working night shift due to the disruption to your circadian rhythm ("day-night cycle"). It's not impossible though, I have seen people do it.
Try reading up on the glycemic index, because you're going to be more prone to insulin resistance due to increased cortisol levels while working nights.
If you're like me, you will have an exacerbation of hand-to-mouth disease around 3 AM. This is because you naturally experience a slump in energy and alertness around that time because of your circadian rhythym. Prepare by bringing nutritous snacks like carrot sticks with hummus. I also found that it helped to bring oatmeal and eat it around 6 AM before my shift ended, it kept me from swinging by the Mickey D's for a steak and egg bagel on the way home.
May I assume you work in health care? I am a nurse myself. On night shift, I found that between 3-5 AM there was usually somewhat of a lull in the work, due to trying to allow my patients a couple hours of sleep before their day got started. This made an excellent time to walk the halls of the hospital for about 20 minutes; the boost in circulation also did wonders for my alertness and helped me wean totally of soda, and cut back from 6 cups of coffee a day to 2 cups.
I don't think I need to tell you of the importance of sleep. A set of blackout blinds and a white noise machine do wonders toward helping you sleep deeply during the day time.

Love working 3rd shift
1-If the kids are sick from school, I have to take a day off.
2-In wisconsin, we seem to have a lot of snow/late start days, I would have to take a day off
3-For any dr appts/dentists/etc, I would have to take a day off.
4-I would have to work Monday-Friday 8am-5pm to get my hours in...when I can get all my hours in in 4 days instead...and have it much more relaxed.
I work logistics (sorry not health care), so i am at a desk on a computer all night (working with semi drivers and such). I work Wednesday/Thursday nights from 10pm-7am, and Friday/Saturday nights from 9pm-8am...with many many saturdays working until 1200. With my shift I have an unlimited amount of overtime I can pick up (someone on days will call in, and with working nights I know a little about all 30 accounts we handle).
Plus my xhusband gets our boys at 4pm on Wednesday and I pick them up at church at 9am on Sunday...so it works out perfectly for my schedule. Also when I work Friday and Saturday nights I am alone in the entire building, so it is relaxing and not very busy....lots of down time (which I enjoy).
I used to take walk around the inside of the building (6 times around is about 1.10 miles)...but I have been lazy and haven't been doing that lately
I do seem to get the 3am munchies...but that doesn't help that day shift (especially friday nights) will send emails letting us know that they had a "food day" and all leftovers are in the fridge for the taking....and they are GOOD (bad calorie) left overs...lol
I just need to get out of this "slump" and start actively losing weight..I know I will feel better...just need to get motivated....grrrrr

Found this interesting tree just across the field from the oil pump featured in the last shot. I loved the way it leaned toward the sunset! This was probably my favorite shot from this sunset shoot in southern Kansas
Please tell me what you think!
I would have never guessed that this was taken in Kansas. I've never been to that region of the country which I've convinced is nothing but cornfields and no trees. You've proved me wrong. Beautiful shot.
Thank you very much. There are a lot of corn fields and trees, as well as wheat fields and vast open areas. You need to have the right eye to see the beauty in all of it. Glad I could bring that to you
It's like it's reaching for the last rays of sun! Very awesome!
lNice shot...which lens did you usen this one?
i named it as "peace"..
This is def. my fav as well. I love the composition and the exposure is beautiful!!
I have no words, awesome
I think this defines the idea of a "sweeping" skyscape. It gives the impression that the clouds, and even the grass and trees, are in motion and yet frozen in place. Great shot.
I wish I could use this as a desktop, its so beautiful I'd have to look at it every day! ^_^
Thank you I could email you a wallpaper version of it if you'd note me with your email and what dimensions you need it to be
Wow! Its so beautiful!
Very nice work.
Very good shot, it's a really beautiful landscapes which appears surreal with this amazing sunset light
Very nice signature you got there
nice shot!
were the trees really normally leaning towards the sunset??
it's kinda cool in any ways i look at it...^^
really nice~

But there's another inextricably linked ACORN and WFP affiliate that Scozzafava would not likely disavow: Big Labor.
Refresher: The Service Employees International Union is co-located with several key ACORN offices across the country. ACORN founder Wade Rathke founded influential SEIU Local 100. As John Wilson reported in the New York Post this spring, the WFP's largest donors are the SEIU, which pitched in more than $300,000, and the teachers union, which donated $200,000. These organizations have worked together to increase left-wing political clout, undermine capitalism and ensure "social justice" on the public's dime.
Scozzafava's husband is a leading upstate New York union organizer. She supports the federal "card-check" legislation that would massively boost union rolls -- and Democratic voting rolls -- at the expense of rank-and-file workers' free choice. And for that matter, at the expense of Republican electoral prospects. Card check is the key to a Democratic majority in perpetuity. Big Labor bosses have said as much.
Movement conservatives and limited government activists are battling the establishment GOP over its endorsement of Scozzafava's candidacy. The Club for Growth, former GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson and others have lined up behind a truly mainstream and viable candidate -- Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman.
Meanwhile, "moderate Republican" Scozzafava has earned the enthusiastic endorsement of far-left blog entrepreneur and political strategist Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, who runs the Daily Kos website. He enthused that Scozzafava has "been willing to raise taxes when budgets require it, and is to the left of most Democrats on social issues."
That's not moderation. That's extremist fringe. This race isn't a fight over the heart and soul of the Republican Party. It's a battle over its brain.

Daily Hampshire Gazette: State audit of Northampton Housing Authority finds room for improvement in agency's procurement practices
January 29, 2014 – The following content was originally in the Daily Hampshire Gazette
A state audit has found that the Northampton Housing Authority maintains sound procurement practices but flagged three instances when the agency ran afoul of competitive bidding guidelines.
The review by state Auditor Suzanne M. Bump examined nearly $1 million in spending at the agency over two years. The procurement issues flagged involved $7,245 for pest control services, $11,109 for painting and $15,609 for carpet and flooring installation between July 2010 and June 2012.

State Auditor Suzanne Bump has approved UMass Dartmouth's proposal to privatize its campus bookstore. The proposal submitted last year demonstrates "the public interest is being served by providing services that are at least of equal quality to the services provided by public sector workers, and that the public will not end up losing money," Bump said in the release.

BBJ Editorial: Contractor flap would be a serious matter in private sector
January 17, 2014 - The following content was originally published by the Boston Business Journal.
Credit state auditor Suzanne Bump with thorough work and also providing the business community with a rich irony by uncovering various violations at the state Department of Transportation in its use of contract employees. The irony here is the state has created a set of onerous and punitive independent contractor rules that one of its own agencies routinely flouted. It's the classic "do as we say, not as we do" scenario.
The state auditors uncovered some bizarre contractor situations at the DOT, including IT consultants serving as supervisors for state employees. One IT contractor had an 11-year tenure at the DOT.
Boston Business Journal: MassDOT IT Consultant Audit
January 9, 2014 - The following content was originally published by the Boston Business Journal.
State Auditor Suzanne Bum's office today released a tough report on the use of consultants by the state Department of Transportation for information technology work.
The audit states the DOT resorted to inappropriate hiring and employment practices to bring consultants on board, in some cases circumventing state laws in the process. The report said DOT spent $22 million on consultants in recent years — and in one case retained a consultant for 11 years. The audit asserts some of the work done by consultants should have been performed by state employees.
"These findings suggest that MassDOT has been circumventing the administration's imposed salary and staff number limits by misusing consultants," Bump said in a prepared statement accompanying the release of the audit. "The agency needs to find a lawful way to staff its IT functions."

Boston Globe: Audit details Worcester agency's troubles
January 3, 2014 - The following content was originally published by the Boston Globe.
A defunct Worcester social service agency charged more than $143,000 in questionable expenses to the state before it closed, according to a recent report from the state auditor's office.
The troubled nonprofit, the Henry Lee Willis Community Center Inc., also accumulated about $1 million in debt to the state and other creditors, including $235,569 to the state's unemployment insurance fund, by the time it shut down.
The community center, which provided a variety of social service programs in Central Massachusetts and relied primarily on state funding, was finally forced to close its doors last Feb. 15 after four state agencies pulled their contracts because of concerns about the center's management and continued financial woes.
The financial problems appeared to have been years in the making. The Dec. 19 audit found that the Department of Children and Families flagged the nonprofit's financial problems as early as 2009. The agency's own auditor repeatedly noted that the nonprofit had problems with its credit card documentation in fiscal years 2009 through 2012.

When I built it (and made the pkgsrc lang/sbcl package) I just
removed the limit in the shell. I had someone ask me why they
could not build it, and it was the same issue. I told him that I
had changed the limit in login.conf to 512MB on at least one of my
machines (the sparcstation in an attempted port of SBCL from
netbsd/i386 to netbsd/sparc).
I got a response saying that 512 was not enough for him, but 960
was. He also said that XDM didn't bother to check login.conf. 8^)
I wonder if that might be part of my problem with the sparc build...
(Well, that and probably an incorrect location or size for the
dynamic space.)
I think I'll ask the pkgsrc gurus about doing something like that
in the package makefile before starting the actual build. (And
maybe add a patch to the SBCL source to do it at startup as well.)
Other hints, suggestions, or comments would be very welcome,

Russian fiscal policy during the financial crisis
This study examines the expanding role of fiscal policy at a time of financial crisis. It analyses the stimulative fiscal measures of the Russian government in 2008-2010 and compares these with simi-lar actions taken in other countries. The risks and limitations associated with the development and implementation of the measures are analyzed. The macroeconomic effects of the fiscal policy measures are estimated using a structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model, the fiscal multip-liers are calculated, and factors influencing multiplier size are examined.

America's Pro-Freedom Source For Buying Ammunition
You can buy your ammunition from a growing number of online companies. So what makes Ammo.com any different, and why should you buy your ammo from us? There are four good reasons:
1) We ship fast. If you place your order before 3:00 pm Eastern on a weekday, we get it shipped that same day. If you place your order after 3:00 pm Eastern, or on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, we get it shipped the next business day. We guarantee it.
2) We are here for you when you need us. Give us a call and speak to a live person, an American in America. We're not hiding behind a frustrating automated phone system, or re-routing your questions to India or the Philippines. We will do our best to answer any questions and resolve any issues.
3) We make it easy and secure for you to get what you need. Search our shelves for the ammo you want by manufacturer or caliber. When you browse our inventory, you're seeing the exact quantity we have on hand. We don't back order, play games, or make promises we can't keep. What you see is what we have.
4) We are pro-freedom in words and deeds. We spend our money to advance freedom. After you place your order, we show you a list of hand-picked, pro-freedom organizations inlcuding the NRA, Soldiers Angels, Homes for Our Troops, and more. Choose your favorite organization, and at no cost to you, we will donate a percentage of your total purchase to that organization.
It's true, we make a donation to a pro-freedom organization of your choice every time you make a purchase - and it doesn't cost you a cent.
Over 200 years ago, our Founding Fathers worked to preserve our right to keep and bear arms in the Bill of Rights to the Constitution. We join them in that fight more than two centuries later by financially supporting organizations today that are fighting to protect that same right.
We at Ammo.com are proud to be America's Pro-Freedom Ammo Source, and we're determined to earn your business and your trust.
Why Is The Right To Keep And Bear Arms Important?
The ability of an individual to defend himself or herself against aggression is fundamental to civil society. Self defense is a natural safeguard against violations by individuals or oppression by institutions, such as an increasingly powerful and unaccountable government. History has repeatedly shown that absent this protection, dominating rulers will use force to subjugate and trample the rights of defenseless individuals.
Criminals want soft targets, individuals who can't or won't fight back. Power corrupts even the best, and people who have known too much power over others for too long become increasingly comfortable with harsh and extreme measures. This is part of what happens when police officers brutalize the citizens they have sworn to protect. The corrupting effect of too much power is what causes a government to slaughter entire unarmed populations, as we have seen too many times in the last hundred years.
The Second Amendment was established to prevent just such an imbalance of power. The Second Amendment protects our natural rights to live free of domination and coercion, both as individuals and as Americans. If we don't have the ability to defend ourselves, we risk losing the free exercise of the rest of our rights as well.
