It is all that's about
speechless moments full of
thoughtful comments
and endless monitoring hours...
Absence of my sound,
does not mean I am not around,
does not prove I am not watching and judging
does not mean I do not exist
does not mean I will not, for I what I want, insist
does not mean I can not persist
yet! it could mean that some people
can be down graded,
some action will be filtered,
some manners will be reflected,
and some doubts will be corrected
for those who will be missed!
Sometimes it is easy to handle
yet with all of the stress bundle
you can not see the sunlight after
the rain and the thunder!
It is my self containing stage,
Judgemental case on action base,
and it could be a turning phase
to solve my endless maze
about all of the doubts that
in a night and a day do rise!
Life knocks you down,
some people are around,
and other could be the reason why
you remained on the ground...
Detach yourself from all of the lower respect,
Aim high and work towards,
this is how you are different than them...
No matter how many time it could sound like
It never was and never will!
Because you are still alive ever since any of them!
Stand up! Face the world,
Be who you are even to those who show no reward
Yet be proud of the one person
You turn to be with every drop down you feel,
with every disappointment you pass through,
with ever word-full non actional act you see...
And that is to me...
A true remedy...
Backing off for sometime,
watching what is happening around,
acting on all of that surrounds,
in line with my manners
is all what it to me, now matters!

During Ma$e's visit to "RapFix Live" late last year, he admitted that there were only two artists he would ever consider signing with again: Kanye West and Drake. The Harlem rapper give a very rare performance at OVO Fest in Toronto last week, along with Diddy, and after the show we asked Drizzy if there was a chance that Ma$e would end up signed to his OVO label. Hear what he had to say in the video above.
"Funny enough, me and Ma$e have just been talking about what the future holds, about what he wants to do," Drake told MTV News. "And anything is possible man. I told Ma$e, 'You're Ma$e, at the end of the day so I don't think you should end up on anybody else's label."
"I would love to be involved," he added, expressing an interest in Ma$e's future endeavors. "I know Kanye took an interest in Ma$e as well, because Ma$e is like the original fly guy that made it all look extremely fun, dancing [and everything You saw it at [OVO Fest], those guys can't get on stage and be stiff and overly serious…it's a party. There's a lot of rappers who get out there and take themselves super serious and it's not fun like that. They don't laugh. Those guys got out there and proved why there are who they are. Two kings doing what they were born to do."
"I'd love to work with Ma$e to be honest. I told him, 'man I hope tonight's not our last conversation.' It's been cool, we kicked it and just went out and and got something to eat."

Economic News & Analysis—August 28, 2012
Key election dates for investorsBy Brian Jacobsen, Ph.D., CFA, CFP®, Chief Portfolio Strategist
Every election seems to be the most important in history. I cannot recall in all my life or my readings of an election where the consensus view was, "Oh well; it doesn't really matter." Maybe in hindsight an election looks inconsequential, but the anticipation has always been that the impending election matters like none before it.
That's not to denigrate the upcoming election. Not only is the next president to be decided, but one-third of the Senate and the entire House of Representatives is up for grabs. (See "An investor's guide to the presidential election" for my analysis of the election outcomes for which investors need to prepare.) And every election is of importance to the trajectory of this great nation.
On this note, I have mapped out what I think are the important dates and events for investors and have outlined what I believe are the likely outcomes and implications for them.
Important dates for investors:
Republican National Convention: August 27–30Mitt Romney is all but certain to be the Republican candidate for president, with Paul Ryan (representative from Wisconsin) as his vice presidential pick. Romney's selection of Paul Ryan as his vice presidential candidate highlights the major issue of the campaign: the federal budget. Because of the close balance between Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, the vice president could play an important role, considering he will cast the deciding vote on important issues.
Because of campaign finance laws, a lot of the money Mitt Romney has raised for the general election will become available after the convention. The primaries were costly and lengthy, which is one reason Mitt Romney has been relatively "quiet" in terms of advertising spending. That will dramatically change once he becomes the official candidate. To the extent that advertising will play a role in determining the outcome of the election, large advertising spending could lead to volatility in the polls, possibly leading to volatility in the markets.
Democratic National Convention: September 3–6President Obama is all but certain to accept the Democratic nomination, with Vice President Biden as his vice presidential candidate. President Obama has also raised a lot of money for the general campaign, so his advertising spending is likely to pick up after the convention. This will likely be the most expensive campaign in history in terms of advertising expenditures. Investors might not learn anything new from the advertising, but swing voters could be swayed one way or the other, depending on the voters' perceptions of the candidates. If the advertising spending leads to a lot of back and forth in the polling numbers, that could induce volatility in the markets.
Presidential debates: October 3, 11, 16, 22The nominees for vice president will debate on October 11. The other debates are between the two presidential candidates. Each of these debates will cover a different general topic and will provide a platform for the candidates to outline their plans. Not only will the opinion polls after the debates be important to follow, but the content of the debates will also be important for a window into what an administration under either candidate could look like. As we all know, these are debates and not contractual obligations. As a result, the statements made are imperfect windows into the intentions of the candidates.
Election Day: November 6Markets will begin to handicap the winners of the various elections well before the actual election takes place. The movements of the market the day after will reflect adjustments to investors' expectations of the new structure of government. The economy itself will not respond until the various rules and laws are actually passed and implemented. This difference between the speed of adjustment of the markets and the speed of adjustment of the economy highlights why investors who wait for the results of the election may feel a little "behind the ball," as the market will likely move before the economy.
The market doesn't always get things right, but it's important to try to discern what result the market might be pricing into securities. If the market is right, then it will not move on the election results. This is why it is always good to have better expectations than the market.
Congress reconvenes: November 13If power shifts in either the Senate or the House of Representatives, then the next Congress will be considered a "lame-duck session." Lame-duck sessions can be relatively uninteresting, with most controversial and outstanding issues bundled into bills that simply move the decisions into the next congressional session.
Lame-duck session or not, there are important issues that will likely spur Congress to act. The biggest issue is the "fiscal cliff," which is the combination of scheduled tax increases and spending cuts to go into effect on January 1, 2013. If Congress is a lame-duck session, I expect current tax and spending policies to be extended to March 2013. That would push the debate well into the next session of Congress.
If it is not a lame-duck session, then the resolution of the fiscal cliff will likely depend on who wins the presidential election. If President Obama is re-elected, then the last few months of the year could look a lot like the end of 2010, with tax and spending compromises delayed until December 2012. If Mitt Romney is elected, then the extension of current policy will likely occur earlier, as we'd have a lame-duck president until the presidential inauguration.
The 112th Congress adjourns: Likely around ThanksgivingIf we have a lame-duck session, then Congress will probably adjourn as soon as possible. If it's not a lame-duck session, then we could see work continue well into late December.
New Congress convenes: January 3, 2013A lot of administrative activities will take place, but little legislating will actually occur until the president's term begins.
President's term begins: January 20, 2013Although the president's term begins on January 20, no budgetary action is likely to take place until the beginning of February, which is when the president is supposed to submit his budget to Congress. The budget the president submits may serve as the template for a new congressional committee to work from during February, as it works to submit a proposal for entitlement and tax reform in March.

A local pediatrician was honored Friday when a health department was renamed after him.
Friday Pitt County Commissioners and local dignitaries unveiled the renaming of the public health department as "Doctor Earl Trevathan Junior Public Health Center."
The pediatric doctor from Greenville started his practice in 1954 on Fifth Street and has dedicated his life to public health for more than 60-years.
Commissioners say Dr. Trevathan dedicated his life to changing the way people are cared for in Pitt County and is the reason they chose to name health department after him.

The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries says it will continuously strive to ensure compliance with the current measures for citrus black spot (CBS) set out by the European Union.
The phytosanitary (relating to measures for the control of plant diseases) measures for CBS on fruit imported from South Africa have been a point of discussion in the EU by the Standing Committee on Plant Health (SCPH) over the past few weeks.
Departmental Chief Director: Stakeholder Relations and Communications, Makenosi Maroo, said the measures are aimed at preventing the introduction of the fungus Guignardia (Phyllosticta) citricarpa, which causes lesions (black spots) on the citrus fruit.
"The EU market remains an important market for South African citrus and therefore, this department will continuously strive to ensure compliance with the current measures.
"The key instrument in achieving this compliance goal remains the CBS-risk management system, which aims to prevent the occurrence of CBS in consignments destined for the EU and other CBS-sensitive markets," she said.
Within the risk management service, Maroo said control measures (including registration of orchards and fields, mandatory spraying regimes and inspections pre and post-harvesting) are carried out to minimise the risk.
"We also continue to ensure that sufficient information is shared with the EU regulatory authorities on any matter concerning the risk management risk.
"The new measures currently being proposed by the SCPH require the sampling of fruit (600 fruit per 30 tons) and, where any symptoms are found, confirmatory tests to be undertaken.
"This will mean that the producer will incur additional costs for compliance and the department will have to bear the costs for an additional regulatory burden," she said.
Maroo said the department maintains its position that the commercial fruit does not pose a risk to the EU in terms of the introduction and establishment of CBS into the territory of the EU.
"However, we are committed to ensuring compliance and acknowledge the open channels of technical communication with the EC affording us opportunities to make inputs," she said.

SDSU beats New Mexico in finals for 10th postseason appearance in school's history
Aztecs 9, No. 16 New Mexico 4
In an age where information must be conveyed in 140 characters or less, what the San Diego State baseball team accomplished this week at the Mountain West Conference Championship can be communicated in eight:
SDSU defeated No. 16-ranked New Mexico 9-4 Sunday afternoon in the winner-take-all finals, setting off a celebration as jubilant Aztecs players piled on top of one another on the mound at Fresno State's Beiden Field.
The Aztecs claimed the MWC Championship and the conference's automatic berth in the NCAA Regionals. It is SDSU's first regionals berth since 2009 and the 10th postseason appearance in school history.
SDSU — as well as USD — will find out where it's headed and who the opponents are in its four-team regional when the entire 64-team field is announced this morning at 9 on the "Selection Show" televised by ESPNU. The 16 regional hosts were announced Sunday. UCLA and Cal State Fullerton are the closest West Coast sites and one of the two is a likely destination for the Aztecs and Toreros.
After losing their second game in the tournament Thursday to UNLV, the Aztecs had to win four straight games — against Fresno State, UNLV and twice against New Mexico — to claim the crown.
"The last four games, we can't swing the bats any better," said SDSU coach Tony Gwynn as the Aztecs were being presented with the championship trophy. "Pitching and defense had been our strength all season long, but we had trouble putting runs on the board. The last four games, it just doesn't get any better.
"These guys earned it. We had to come from the loser's bracket, but they put it together, and here we are."
The task facing SDSU (31-29) when it arrived in Fresno six days ago was improbable — perhaps highly so — because it meant getting past a New Mexico team that led the country in offense and all but owned the Aztecs.
New Mexico (37-20) came into the tournament leading the nation in batting average (.338) and runs per game (8.56). The Lobos finished 10 games ahead of SDSU in the regular season, winning five of the six contests. Three of the losses came from being swept at home by the Lobos last weekend.
None of that mattered this weekend.
Sunday's final score hid what happened in the eighth, an inning-ending play at the plate that preserved a 5-4 Aztecs lead and prevented momentum from leaving them for the Lobos.
Remember this: Sheehan to Zier to Romanski. It is now a part of Aztecs lore.
SDSU led 5-2 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, but New Mexico rallied for a run to make it 5-3 and still had two runners on base with two outs. New Mexico's Jared Meek then doubled down the right-field line. One run scored to make it 5-4 and Alex Allbritton was being waved home.
SDSU right fielder Danny Sheehan chased down the ball and hit second baseman Tim Zier with his throw. Zier's relay throw was a strike to catcher Jake Romanski, who blocked Allbritton off the plate as he made the tag.
The Aztecs then tacked on four runs in the ninth — starting with freshman third baseman Ty France's home run to left field. France was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player after an amazing 16-for-21 performance over six games with eight RBIs and nine runs scored.
SDSU starter Philip Walby, pitching on three days' rest after beating Air Force in Wednesday's opener, went the first five innings. Ryan Doran, pitching on one day's rest after going nine innings Friday, went the next three. Reliever Ethan Miller finished off the Lobos in the ninth, striking out New Mexico All-American D.J. Peterson to end the game.
"Pitching and defense has been what we've live by all year, and now our offense is coming around," said Doran. "We're going to be a scary team to face in a regional. We've got to stay true to our pitching and defense. Like I've said all year, that's what's going to win championships.
"But our offense, I can't be any more appreciative of those guys. They've stuck with us and we've stuck with them. That's what we do. A team wins this game. Not one guy."

After reviewing the menu options per the DPReview reviews, you can't change the D800 multi-selector but you can change the D300's (custom setting F3). Strange that they removed the option to switch on the D800. It's there on the D300s, D3s, and D4 too.
The D800 does have an option to customize the multi-selector in F9 but it's not clear what the setting does.

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (AP) _ Authorities say the woman killed in a wreck involving Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy Chris Black was the
wife of a fellow deputy.
44-year-old Tammy Barnwell died in the head-on collision Wednesday while Black was rushing to a call about an armed robbery at Arbor Place Mall. Sheriff Phil Miller says Black's wife had eaten lunch with Barnwell at an event on Tuesday.
The sheriff says Black is "just devastated. He's heartbroken.''
Barnwell was a manager at a Wal-Mart in Douglasville and the wife of Deputy Robert Barnwell.
She died at the scene of the wreck on Georgia 5. Black sustained a broken leg, wrist and ribs and is recovering at Atlanta Medical Center.
The sheriff says the 37-year-old Black was traveling too fast and lost control on a curve, crossed the centerline and smashed into Barnwell's car. He says the deputy did not have his blue lights and siren on.
Miller says he does not know whether Black will be disciplined or charged with Barnwell's death.

5th Global Conference: Making Sense of: Suffering (November, 2014:Prague, Czech Republic)
full name / name of organization:
Dr Rob Fisher, Inter-disciplinary.Net
contact email:
5th Global Conference: Making Sense of: Suffering
Tuesday 4th November – Thursday 6th November 2014
Call for Presentations:
This inter- and multi-disciplinary conference seeks to explore if, or to what extent, meaning can be found in suffering. During the course of living our lives, we are invariably forced to stop and question why we suffer – be it through illness, pain, loss, grief or the multitude of distressing circumstances which we encounter. Problems arise in a variety of contexts and due to a bewildering variety of conditions. And because our lives are constant streams of experience, the nature of suffering and consequently the "meaning" of such suffering continually varies and changes.
The conference theme this year seeks submissions that explore how suffering discloses something about the nature of persons, the relationship between persons and their bodies, the goals of medicine, the relationship between persons and their communities, and/or the place of "spirit" in the lives of individuals. Furthermore, submissions that strive to reconcile the relationship between pain and suffering are also encouraged (i.e., all pain does not equal suffering, and yet certainly pain can be associated with suffering). This call for papers also specifically solicits submissions that consider clinical ways to treat, assess, or otherwise respond to the suffering of patients and/or their families.
The conference aims to raise and assess a variety of questions related to the nature of suffering, the origins of suffering, the meaning of suffering, explanations for suffering and responding to suffering. Papers, presentations and pre-formed panels are invited on any of the following themes identified below.
Submissions in the form of papers, presentations and pre-formed panels are invited on any of the following additional core conference themes listed below:
I. What is Suffering?
II. The Roots of Suffering
III. The Meaning of Suffering
IV. Explaining Suffering
V. Suffering and Practice
VI. Suffering and Religion

Solberg re-asserts Nordic dominance in Sweden
13 February 2005
Subaru's Petter Solberg took the victory on the Swedish Rally this afternoon, taking the win by over 2 minutes, after his nearest rivals, Marcus Gronholm and Sebastien Loeb, both retired during the third and final leg.
Solberg, who battled with Gronholm on and off since the start on Friday, was finally able to take it easy after SS16, when the Finn went off the road in his Peugeot 307, losing the left front wheel in the process.
After that the Norwegian eased off and cruised to his first win of the season and his first in Sweden, in seven attempts.
"It's a great feeling, like a big dream, I almost can't believe it's true," said 'Hollywood', who has restored Nordic dominance following 'the blip' last year when Loeb won.
"This rally is so special but it has been tough for me in the past, and now this year it's just gone perfectly. We made no mistakes all rally - not in the car, or in the team, or anywhere - it just all came into place so well," he added.
Markko Martin meanwhile ended up second and after a rather uneventful event for the Estonian it was a good boost, as he continues to learn the 307. It was also some consolation for Peugeot, who were no doubt not too pleased with his team-mate.
"I am a little surprised to finish second here," admitted Martin. "It was an action-packed rally with nothing decided right until the very end. I learnt a lot about the set-up of my car and about the new Pirelli tyres. I was very pleased by their performance – they were very fast and retained the studs extremely well despite the difficult and gravely road conditions."
Toni Gardemeister completed the podium, the Finn getting another top-three result for Ford in only his second event. Ford now leads both the drivers' and manufacturers' championships.
"To be leading both world championships is a superb situation for both myself and Ford," commented Gardemeister. "I've never been in this position before. My pace wasn't so good on the first day but I've felt much more comfortable since and gained a lot more confidence in the car. I took no risks but just kept to a speed with which I felt happy. We had some luck with the retirement of drivers ahead of us, but the Focus is a strong car and while others had problems, we didn't."
Gardemeister's team-mate Henning Solberg took fifth, around 15 seconds or so further down the road, while Roman Kresta took the final drivers' point in eighth, in the third Focus.
Harri Rovanpera was fourth for Mitsubishi, to justify his position as team leader. Rovanpera had been rather shown up by team-mate, Gigi Galli on Friday however in the end he got the upper hand, although to be fair the Italian had a few technical issues yesterday, which dropped him down the leader-board.
"In the end it was a good weekend for Risto and I," noted Harri. "During the first day and a half I never thought a result like this was possible, but now the feeling is good and my confidence with the car is much better. Next week we will be gravel testing and I am looking forward to going to Mexico."
Galli finished seventh in the sister Lancer WRC, one place behind, Daniel Carlsson, in the third works 307.
Skoda duo, Jani Paasonen and Mattias Ekstrom completed the top ten, with Antony Warmbold eleventh, the top privateer. The only other works drivers at the finish were Francois Duval, in 12th, Stephane Sarrazin, in 13th and Chris Atkinson, who ended up 19th.
Atkinson had been on course for a top ten finish on his debut WRC event however he went off the road in SS18 and lost handfuls of time stuck in a snow bank - more than 12 minutes.
In addition to Gronholm and Loeb, Janne Tuohino was also forced out, the Swede retiring after losing a wheel in the penultimate test.
In the Production Car WRC category meanwhile Toshi Arai led from start to finish, finishing one place behind overall Group N winner, Jukka Ketomaki.
The FIA World Rally Championship now heads to North America for the first long-haul event of the season. Corona Rally Mexico [March 10-13], running for the second year in the world series, is the first full gravel event of the year and promises more fast and furious action in the mountains high above the host city of Leon.

How long does it take java moss to attach to driftwood?
I want to attach some java moss to pieces of driftwood. I have cotton thread and cotton polyester thread in my sewing basket, are those suitable or should I purchase another kind? And how long will it take the java moss to attach itself to the driftwood?
Most people will use fishing line so it doesn't show but those should be fine. You can carefully cut away the thread after it is attached. I actually just sat a few rocks on top of bits of the moss and it attached itself quickly. Then I just removed the rocks and it stays on the wood.
It can take awhile to attach sometimes. I actually used sewing thread myself with my Java moss when I attached it to some driftwood. LoL that was about a month ago. I probably need to check and see if it is attached by now and cut the string.

A Parma Heights man was sentenced to more than three years in prison and ordered to pay nearly $1.2 million in restitution, according to U.S. Attorney Steve Dettelbach and Kathy Enstrom, IRS-Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge.
Bryan D. McCallum, 40, previously pleaded guilty to a two-count information charging him with a false claims conspiracy and with making 30 false claims.
"Those individuals who engage in this type of financial fraud should know they will not go undetected and will be brought to justice," Dettelbach said.
"This sentence sends an important message to America's taxpayers who play by the rules that we have no tolerance for those who make up their own rules," Enstrom said.
McCallum worked as an accountant/bookkeeper for two corporations owned and controlled by Brian D. Krantz, 46, of Twinsburg. These companies engaged in financial services and/or real estate investment business activities.
From approximately April 2009 through June 8, 2010, Krantz and McCallum conspired to make false claims for tax refunds using income tax returns filed with the IRS in the names of Krantz, companies formed by Krantz and McCallum, and several "shelf" companies purchased by Krantz. A "shelf" company is a corporate or other formal non-operating business entity established for the purpose of being held for sale to another person, according to court documents.
The scheme involved the use of fake IRS Forms 2439, titled "Notice to Shareholder of Undistributed Long-Term Capital," which is a form to be issued by a regulated investment company (RIC) or real estate investment trust (REIT) to report undistributed capital gains and taxes withheld from those gains on behalf of the shareholders. Under federal tax law, RICs and REITs are entities that are not taxed on their earnings but instead pass those earnings to their shareholders who, in turn, have the obligation to report those earnings and any resulting tax liabilities on the shareholders' income tax returns.
The returns filed pursuant to the conspiracy claimed substantial amounts of Form 2439 withholding credits, when, in fact, none of the companies listed on the forms were actually RICs or REITs or had any undistributed capital gains or withheld taxes, according to court documents.
Krantz used more than $1 million of the refund proceeds to finance a real estate venture he established with other partners, known as Phoenix Ventures Partners LLC. Krantz and McCallum misled Krantz's real estate partners to believe that a group of Colorado-based hard money lenders had provided the funds.
Krantz was pleaded guilty to earlier this year to a 31-count indictment related to filing income tax refunds totaling more than $8.8 million. The U.S. Treasury issued 17 refund checks totaling approximately $3,615,586 payable to Krantz and various corporations controlled by Krantz as a result of the alleged scheme, according to the court documents. He is scheduled to be sentenced in March.

CU Law Students Work to Protect Interestsof American Indian Children
As part of CU Law School's American Indian Law Clinic, CU law students have been taking on complex court cases aimed at protecting the well-being of American Indian children. The American Indian Law Clinic provides quality legal representation to low-income Native clients with Indian law-related problems. The clinic's student volunteers provide hundreds of hours of pro bono legal work, which includes directly assisting clients or providing referrals. The students handle cases under the supervision of American Indian Law Clinic Director Jill E. Tompkins.
Recently, students participating in the clinic handled complex trial work and prepared legal briefs in an adoption case heard before the Colorado Supreme Court. The case involved a 10-year-old American Indian boy who had been living under various guardianships since he was an infant. In its ruling, the Court overturned an appellate court decision and ruled that a lower probate court did not exceed its authority or engage in "de facto adoption proceedings" when considering the potential of a prospective guardian to be an adoptive parent. Tompkins said the decision put to rest nearly a decade of legal disputes and would finally allow a suitable family to adopt the boy.
Students currently are involved with two other appellate cases involving the welfare of American Indian children. To learn more about the American Indian Law Clinic, visit www.colorado.edu/law/clinics/ilc.

A new educational website detailing the rich history and current work of legendary Alaska sled dog racing champion George Attla is now online.
Four years in the making, the website, attlamakingofachampion.com, was created by Fairbanks-based science educator and audio producer Kathy Turco, who worked closely with Attla and utilized source material from more than 50 photographers, journalists, historians, archivists and dog mushers.
The project was supported by a $5,000 Alaska Humanities Forum 2008 general grant.
To visit the website click here.
Its multi-media trove includes gripping black-and-white photographs and television clips from 1970s and 1980s dog racing coverage and sports news interviews with Attla, the Athabascan Indian from Huslia, Alaska, nicknamed "the Huslia Hustler," who limped to starting lines and powered his dogs along the trail with his signature stiff-legged kick, the result of childhood surgery that permanently fused a knee.
Attla in action, 1974, Fur Rondy world championship race.
Attla is a 10-time winner of the Open World Championship Sled Dog Race, the world's premiere sled dog sprint race, which is held over three days in Anchorage every year (snow conditions permitting) as the centerpiece of the annual Fur Redezvous festival. Attla first won the race in 1958.
One dramatic video on the new website shows an utterly exhausted Attla crossing the finish line in record setting time on the final day of the 1975 Open North American in Fairbanks. That year, Attla won all four major sprint dog races in Alaska (the Fury Rondy; the Open North American; the Race of Champions in Kenai/Soldotna; and the Alaska State Championship in Tok). That feat was unprecedented and has yet to be matched.
A 1975 television interview archived on the site has Attla praising the strength and passion of his dogs on the cusp of his record-breaking season.
"I've got 32 [dogs] running and I'd say 24 are exceptionally good dogs," he says.
Off-camera, the interviewer responds: "So you're very confident about this year?"
"Yeah right," says Attla, cracking a smile. "I've got a lot of spare parts."
The "George Attla – Making of a Champion" website also contains archived newspaper articles spanning seven decades as well as several recent video interviews with Attla discussing not only his racing career but his present work promoting dog mushing among Alaska Native youth.
"A dog never makes a mistake," says Attla in one interview excerpt. "He is just a dog and he does what he does because he is a dog and thinks like a dog. It is you that makes the mistake because you haven't trained him to do what you want him to do when you want him to do it. Or you have misjudged what he is able to do, physically or mentally. So if a mistake is made in the team, it is you that has made it, not the dog."

We decided to ditch the binkie over Christmas break. He only used it at bedtime and naptime and it stayed in the crib at all times. He fell asleep one evening without it, so we decided to try getting rid of it. We started on December 26th. He goes to bed at nighttime fine without it. Not a single peep. He's always had a security blankie, so I give him that and a new stuffed Spiderman toy he got for Christmas. Naptime he fusses for a few minutes but eventually falls asleep.
Waking up, though, has turned into a nightmare. Apparently the binkie calmed him beyond what I understood. He wakes up in a PANIC now and screams and wails. This morning he was inconsolable for over 45 minutes. I got him out of the crib and tried to snuggle with him and he thrashed around. So I took him downstairs for breakfast and he threw the food and screeeeammed in his high chair. So I set him on the floor. He finally found a basket of clean towels, pulled them out and laid down on the floor and quietly sobbed. He was tired and wanted to go back to sleep, but he seemed to be unable to do so without the binkie.
All the advice I've found on the internet is for kids 2 and over, where you can talk "reason" to them and explain what's going on. Alex isn't there yet. Did we try too soon? Should we give him the binkie back and wait until he can "understand reason?"

Character Outline
Flan (フラン, Furan, Reborn! Colore: Fran) is the newest official member of the Varia in the Future who uses a Hell Ring with the numbers "666" (number of the beast) imprinted on it.
Flan is a Frenchman and lived with his grandmother before joining the Varia. Introduced during the Varia attack on a Millefiore base in Italy, Flan is Mammon's replacement as the group's illusionist.
According to Reborn! Volume 25, his profile is top secret, but he was featured alongside Belphegor in Reborn's Weekly Horoscope as a Sagittarius. It was later revealed that his master is Mukuro Rokudo, who was released from the Vendicare Prison thanks to Flan's help.
He has green hair and eyes, with markings below both of his eyes. Belphegor forces him to wear a large hat shaped like a frog's head to symbolize his being Mammon's replacement. As a child, he wears an equally large, apple-shaped hat.
Flan has a calm demeanor despite being very antagonistic towards other people, constantly verbally attacking them without a slightest care of the consequence, which results in him being attacked back by several people, particularly Belphegor and Mukuro. In the present, Flan is not much different from his future-self, still retaining his mocking and straightforward behavior to others. However, he still shows childish behavior, normal for a boy his age, such as when he mistook Mukuro and Varia as fairies, showing his childish imagination, or when was scared upon first meeting with Vendicare.
Plot Overview
Future Arc
Merone Base Invasion
Flan participated in the invasion and subsequent defense of a Millefiore Base in Italy in the same time frame as the Merone Base Invasion by Tsuna, his Guardians, and Lal Mirch. Flan was paired with Belphegor and ordered to explore the surrounding area to the base and fight any Millefiore soldiers they found. After Belphegor dispatched a number of Millefiore soldiers (and a large section of forest), they came across Olgert, and very much to their surprise, Bel's supposedly dead twin brother - Rasiel. When it came time to fight, Flan couldn't open his Box due to the fact that he needs to do a hero-like pose before opening his Box. He couldn't do his usual pose because it involves reaching over his head, which he couldn't reach because of the frog hat. After Rasiel incapacitated Bel, Flan was able to create an illusion and escaped, not only to save their lives but to also witness Xanxus fighting with Rasiel.
Future Final Battle Arc
According to Lussuria, Flan went to visit a girl whose name was W.W after the Millefiore Castle Invasion. The romanized translation of what Lussuria said was "Daburyu," which is the letter W. It is later revealed that Flan went to Vendicare Prison to help Mukuro Rokudo escape prison by posing as a member of the Millefiore Famiglia. The Milliefore Familgia were about to release Ghost only to find that someone had posed as a member from their Famiglia and released Mukuro Rokudo. Flan is later seen at a hideout with the girl that was revealed to be M.M., who was there with Ken Joshima and Chikusa Kakimoto. M.M. scolds Flan for putting her bag upside-down and for sneezing on her expensive coat. Flan complains that he always gets scolded for everything, even though he was the one who had helped Mukuro escape. Chikusa says that Mukuro will need some time to recover, since he had been floating in a tank of water for ten years. Later on, in the final battle between the Vongola and Millefiore Famiglia, Kikyo, Zakuro, and Bluebell, who have seemingly killed the entire Vongola Famiglia, are attacked by illusions created by Mukuro.
Flan, who reappeared beside Mukuro, complained that Mukuro had taken the "spotlight" again and that the people that they believed to have killed were really an Illusion, and that the Real Funeral Wreaths had in fact killed no one. Belphegor, who felt a bit annoyed by how the illusion worked out, complained whether they really had to die in the illusion. Flan responded that illusions had to be "realistic" and that "illusions were somewhat like pranks." Mukuro said that he was wrong and comically stabbed Flan in the head, which shocked Lussuria and Ryohei. Mukuro said that the real reason was to find data on the Six Funeral Wreaths, and to serve as a warm up. Bel, who still believes that the illusion was still ongoing, asked how long the illusion would last. Flan reassures everyone that "pineapple hair wasn't an illusion" and that he helped him escape from Vendicare. Kikyo applauded Mukuro's apprentice for hoodwinking the Vindice, and Flan told Mukuro that he was a celebrity now, but Mukuro once again stabs him in the head to silence him. Flan then told everyone that the "rehearsal was over" since the Funeral Wreaths that have fully healed from the attack earlier are ready to wipe them out again. Flan tells Mukuro he should sit down because he just got his strength back or wait until his Vongola Box got there. Just when the two sides have begun to fight again, out of nowhere, Ghost arrives on the battlefield.
Ghost then started to drain Flan's Dying Will Flames along with everyone else that is present. The Varia started to attack Ghost, but to only find out that it had no use. After the battle, the rest of the Varia head back to Italy.
The Curse of the Rainbow Arc
The Varia decide to recruit Flan as a new Varia officer. In the present, he lives in an unexplored region countryside of France called "Jura" with his grandmother. Viper asks Flan's grandmother where he was, to which she answers that he's playing upstream in the river at the west side of the countryside. They see him later on a river alongside with the Kokuyo Junior High Gang, excluding Chrome Dokuro, who are also looking for the boy. This time, Flan wears a giant apple head instead of a frog head, the Varia spotting him as the present Flan commented that his grandmother's bentos were awful as usual.
When he noticed Mukuro and the others' present, he mistakes them as "fairies," and does an exorcism dance, calling Mukuro, "pineapple head fairy" and Varia, "tooth decaying fungus," much to their annoyance. Flan starts to running away from them when Belphegor throws knives at him, which do not affect him as he blocks them with his hat, revealing it to be an illusion. He is chased after by Ken and Levi, who try to coax and intimidate him into calming down, respectively. Mukuro and Squalo stop him and find that he has lost his memories from the future because his head was hit by a cheese block, according to his grandmother. Mukuro and Squalo argue that neither of them needs Flan. The group negotiate and are about to decide with a game of ladder which side must take care of Flan when he interrupts and decides which group he will go with.
1st Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow
In the end of the first battle, it is shown that Flan has joined Mukuro and is part of Team Verde. He is proudly referred to by Verde, along with Mukuro, as the Illusionist Duo.
2nd Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow
On the second day of the Representative Battle, Flan is seen firing missiles from Verde's Reality Illusion Gloves. When Colonnello fires his Maximum Rifle, Flan is injured protecting his Rainbow Wristwatch. Mukuro sees Flan's bad condition and chooses to retreat, taking Flan with him. Shortly, however, they were attacked by a Vindice and nearly overpowered by him, but Flan was able to use his illusion to trick the Vindice, saving himself and Mukuro.
Third Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow
On the third day of the Representative Battle, he was supposed to assist Mukuro, Ken, and Chikusa to defeat the Vindice, but fell asleep, forcing Team Verde to form a temporary alliance with Team Reborn. When both of them started to get overpowered by the Vindice, Mukuro ordered M.M to wake Flan up, but he was too terrified by the Vindice's appearances whom he mistook as death gods and fainted again.
Fourth Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow
On the fourth day of the Representative Battle, he was chosen as one of representatives who will fight Team Bermuda. He, along with Chrome, Gokudera, and Yamamoto fights Small Gia and Big Pino. He and Chrome created illusions to hide themselves and another one to fight Small Gia and Big Pino to buy some times until Tsuna, Enma, and Basil arrives after defeating Alejandro. However, Small Gia and Big Pino able to pinpoint their location and destroy the illusions and also Gokudera's Sistema C.A.I and Yamamoto's swords. Fortunately, before Big Pino able to kill them with his next attack, they were saved by Enma's gravity manipulation that make them float in the air, dodging the attack. When Yamamoto and Gokudera able to hold Small Gia and Big Pino with Enma's help, Chrome told Flan to protect them with Verde's equipment. Flan, at first, reluctant since he's tired, scared, and annoyed. But, quickly relented when Chrome firmly insisted for his help, under one condition that she will kiss him on the cheek if it goes well. With Chrome's aid, he created ceramics that covered Yamamoto's and Gokudera's entire bodies right before the dynamites explode, destroying Small Gia's and Big Pino's power without harming Gokudera and Yamamoto. After resting, he went to assist the members who were fighting Jager and protected Tsuna from Jager's attack, but was quickly defeated by the latter along with Chrome and Enma.
After the Representative Battle was finished, he was submitted into Namimori hospital along with Mukuro, Chrome, Byakuran, Hibari, Dino, Basil, and Varia. He appeared when the wall that connected to Mukuro's room was destroyed by Hibari's tonfa, commenting how Hibari's tonfa hit right at the spikes of Mukuro's hair. In the last chapter, he was seen with the Kokuyo Gang when Tsuna narrated his thought of how he now has friends that he could rely on.

Bullpen shuffle?
If the Orioles don't call up a pitcher today (And why stop at one?), I'm going to fly to Cleveland and offer my services. I'm pretty sure I can face five batters and get no one out...and, despite what you may have heard, $390,000 per year would be a significant raise for me.
The starting rotation is in tatters and the bullpen has gone so far south I could have sworn I saw Jamie Walker in a long conversation with some guy with a pitchfork. When Jamie reels off 10 straight scoreless appearances, you'll know what happened.
Seriously, it has reached the point where you can see the exasperation in the face of Dave Trembley every time the camera finds him in the Orioles dugout. In fact, if I were a high-ranking MASN programming guy, I'd seriously consider unveiling an "Exasper-Cam" and a "Frustrat-O-Meter" on upcoming broadcasts. Last time I looked, there was still about 40 percent of my screen that doesn't have some kind of fancy (for regional cable) graphic.
Today's gut feeling: The next man up will be Kam Mickolio, who has pitched very well since moving up to Triple-A. No inside knowledge here. Just a hunch, but I was right about Rocky Cherry.

I also think if the main on the lion was a lot simpler it would make the mark stronger. Maybe more symmetrical (in perspective though)?

14th Air Force represented in Spouses Choir on 'America's Got Talent'

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.
-- "I never imagined I would be involved in such a production," said Jennifer Wagner after a live, semi-final performance with the American Military Spouses Choir on NBC's hit reality show "America's Got Talent" Sept. 3, 2013.
Wagner, wife of Col. John Wagner, 614th Air and Space Operations Center commander and Joint Space Operations Center director, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., was one of 38 military spouses from all branches of service across the United States who competed with the choir performance group on stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
The American Military Spouses Choir delivered an amazing rendition of the Sarah McLachlan song "Angel" for their semi-final number. Although the group did not receive enough votes to advance to the final round of the competition, Wagner said the entire experience was unforgettable.
"This opportunity has been amazing," she said. "It has been a whirlwind of hard work, preparation and fun."
Performing for such a massive audience, however, did not happen without overcoming a few butterflies.
"I tried not to think about how far-reaching the audience would be, to include television, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube," said Wagner. "To handle the nerves, we tried to prepare to the point where we could sing our parts in our sleep. Repetition was key, and it definitely worked. Once we took the stage, we knew what we had to do."
The choir was brought together in May 2012 by the non-profit Center for American Military Music Opportunities, or CAMMO, to perform at the Kennedy Center's Spring Gala event. The day after they met and with only one rehearsal under their belt, the group was on the stage with Jewel, Chaka Khan and Chris Botti as the finale of the 2012 David Foster and Friends Spring Gala.
Wagner said one of the best parts of performing with the choir is building new relationships with fellow military spouses.
"Just like when you PCS, you go out of your comfort zone and reach out to those around you," she said. "That's what we did when we first met as a choir. There are many different personalities and military services represented, and we all make it work. I have made a couple of close friends in the choir that I hope will be life-long. Every single one of our choir members is strong, intelligent and very talented."
One of Wagner's more memorable moments of the "America's Got Talent" experience actually took place off the stage. After finishing a very difficult and exhausting practice in New York City, the group decided to visit the World Trade Center memorial. As they were leaving the memorial site, a security guard summoned the choir back to a checkpoint.
"I thought we had done something wrong," she said. "However, it turns out he was a fan and wanted a picture with us. He said something so powerful that day, 'You are singing for some of those who are honored here. Sing those sweet melodies.'"
Wagner said that exchange helped put the tough day in perspective, as well as remind the group that their message of resiliency and commitment to supporting military service is so important.
When she is not busy with performing with the choir, Wagner is very active in the 614th AOC and JSpOC Key Spouse Program at Vandenberg AFB. The group works diligently to support more than 400 men and women in the unit with everything from helping newcomers settle in, to aiding family members during deployments.
"I am honoured to be a military spouse," said Wagner. "This experience has been so amazing because it allowed us to highlight and recognize all the sacrifices and tremendous achievements of all our incredible military families."

This thrifty gal couldn't justify spending $30 on just one pumpkin, especially when she could make two for about $20. All it took was some Krylon Looking Glass spray paint and a mixture of vinegar and water for Amy to transform the glass Wal-mart pumpkins. Best of all, Amy likes her even better since they double as décor and storage jars.

Demand John Boehner call a vote to raise the minimum wage to $10.10
Isn't it time to raise the minimum wage?
President Obama thinks so – that's why, in his State of the Union address, he proposed we raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.
In the wealthiest nation on earth, when the wealthiest among us are making more than ever, but a full-time worker making minimum wage lives below the poverty line, isn't it time for a change?
Unfortunately, Republicans don't think so. House Speaker John Boehner has already come out publicly against any minimum wage hike.
Take action today to demand that Republicans support President Obama's federal minimum wage proposal.

How many fish to a 10 gallon tank?
I have two 10 gallon tanks at the moment. One tank has 4 GloFish, 2 cory catfish, 1 green tiger barb, and 2 wag platy.
My other 10 gallon has 3 zebra danio, 1 gold gourami, and a pictus catfish
I have plans to buy a 29 gallon within the next month. I plan on transferring the pictus catfish and gold gourami over to the 29 when it is ready.
My question is this: Can I have the 3 zebra danio, 4 glofish, 2 cory catfish, 1 tiger barb, and 2 wag platy in one 10 gallon tank? Or would this be overcrowding?
Also, if I move the green tiger barb out, could it survive in a 2.5 gallon tank, or would it need atlest 5 gallons?
Thanks for the help!
cory cats and tiger barbs both do best in schools or 6+
i think your list is pushing it in a 10.
Tiger Barbs can become aggressive if not kept in a group. I would return the tiger, or buy more and place them in the new 29gal. Good luck! Tiger barbs can also be a lot of fun to watch in a group, they realy have a lot of personality! 5gal, would not be enough swimming room for this active fish.
Agreed. You could try the gold gourami, the pictus, and a group of tiger barbs in the 29g.
