Motorcycle crash doesn't keep Airman down
by Kelly Deichert
Air University Public Affairs
5/20/2011 -
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala
-- This Airman has a guardian angel, and he's been working hard to keep her safe.
In July, shortly after arriving at Gunter Annex to become the superintendent of the Enlisted Professional Military Education Instructor Course, Master Sgt. Tanya Ericson was in a motorcycle accident in Troy.
"A car pulled right out in front of me," she said. "I was looking at (the driver's) face, and she never turned, never saw me."
When her motorcycle T-boned the car going about 45 miles per hour, all her safety training kicked in.
Sergeant Ericson has been riding motorcycles for 10 years and has logged more than 75,000 miles. She even enjoyed teaching others how to ride as a Motorcycle Safety Foundation coach.
Her training and protective gear saved her life. "I was wearing all the things I was supposed to," she said of the full-face helmet, over-the-ankle boots, full-finger gloves and reflective gear.
When she realized the driver of the car didn't even look to see if the lane was clear, Sergeant Ericson knew the accident was unavoidable. She took her chances and squeezed the brakes.
Because of her training, she maintained control and didn't panic. "I stayed upright the whole time. I didn't skid," she said proudly.
She recalls every moment of the accident, since she stayed conscious the whole time. "I remember thinking, 'This is going to hurt,'" she said.
After flying from the bike, she landed on her back, and her head hit the pavement. She remembers seeing the sky but really wanted to see if her bike was seriously damaged.
Her only injury was a fractured pelvis, and her only scar was from the surgery. She now has a titanium plate about the size of a deck of cards and four titanium screws holding her pelvis together.
"I have no doubt that the hand of God led me through this," Sergeant Ericson said.
She spent three months recovering in a wheelchair, which caused her lower body to atrophy. She needed two months of physical therapy.
Since she couldn't put any weight on her lower half, she focused on what she could do. "I got really good at Rock Band," she said.
She went through physical therapy in October and November. "I had to learn how to stand up again, walk again," she said.
Luckily, her mom lives in Atlanta and was able to visit and help.
Despite only knowing her for a few months, her fellow Airmen showed their support. "The Barnes Center was amazing," she said. "They rallied around me. People were taking care of me who didn't even know me yet. 'Thank you' just isn't enough for all they did."
Though she was released from restrictions in December, she's not back up to 100 percent. She used to compete in triathlons and wants to return to an active lifestyle, but her ability is not back fully.
"It's hard to accept the limitations all because someone didn't look (and caused an accident)," she said.
She credits her fit lifestyle for her quick recovery. She's also grateful she's an active-duty Airman, since she had the support of the Barnes Center and the time off from work to recuperate. Also, Tricare covered all her bills and provided assistance, allowing her to focus on her recovery.
Sergeant Ericson is used to scoring a "good" or "excellent" on her physical training tests and once even earned a perfect score. Now, almost a year after the crash, she's getting close to taking her next PT test. She's been putting it off until she's back to 100 percent. She didn't want to rush her body and risk more injury.
Also, she didn't want to just pass - she aims to excel and exceed everyone's expectations.
She isn't letting this accident prevent her from doing what she loves - riding her motorcycle. Since her Yamaha V Star 1300 was totaled, she bought a Yamaha Roadliner 1900 in November. "It's a big ol' sexy cruiser," she says with pride.
She admitted she was a little apprehensive when she first got on a bike again, but she's glad she's been riding for the past six months.
The accident won't keep Sergeant Ericson from riding, and she will continue to follow her philosophy: "Live every day as though it's your last. One day you'll be right."
Ten things to know about motorcycles
"Look twice and save a life, motorcycles are everywhere," Master Sgt. Tanya Ericson advises drivers. "If cars look out for us, and we do what we're supposed to, crashes will decline."
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation provides 10 things all car and truck drivers should know about motorcycles:
1. There are a lot more cars and trucks than motorcycles on the road, and some drivers don't "recognize" a motorcycle; they ignore it (usually unintentionally). Look for motorcycles, especially when checking traffic at an intersection.
2. Because of their small size, motorcycles may look farther away than they are. It may also be difficult to judge a motorcycles speed. When checking traffic to turn at an intersection or into (or out of) a driveway, remember that motorcycles are closer than they look.
3. Because of its small size, a motorcycle can be easily hidden in a car's blind spots (door/roof pillars) or masked by objects or backgrounds outside a car (bushes, fences, bridges, etc). Take an extra moment to thoroughly check traffic, whether you're changing lanes or turning at intersections.
4. Because of their small size, motorcycles may seem to be moving faster than they really are. Don't assume all motorcyclists are speed demons.
5. Motorcyclists often slow by downshifting or merely rolling off the throttle, thus not activating the brake light. Allow more following distance, about three or four seconds. At intersections, predict a motorcyclist may slow down without visual warning.
6. Turn signals on motorcycles usually are not self-canceling, thus some riders (especially beginners) sometimes forget to turn them off after a turn or lane change. Make sure a motorcycle's signal is for real.
7. Motorcyclists often adjust their position within a lane to be seen more easily and to minimize the effects of road debris, passing vehicles and wind. Understand that motorcyclists adjust their lane position for a purpose, not to be reckless or show off or to allow you to share the lane with them.
8. Maneuverability is one of a motorcycle's better characteristics, especially at slower speeds and with good road conditions, but don't expect motorcyclists to always be able to dodge out of the way.
9. Stopping distance for motorcycles is nearly the same as for cars, but slippery pavement makes stopping quickly difficult. Allow more following distance behind a motorcycle because they can't always stop "on a dime."
10. When motorcycles are in motion, don't think of them as motorcycles; think of them as people.

Regular readers may have noticed the new look introduced last week. And if you're very regular, you may have noticed that the theme keep switching back to the WordPress default theme by itself??
Twice the last 24 hours it has changed back to the default theme. Very strange. So if brilliantdays.com looks like it just has been set up, now you know why.

You've persuaded someone to sign up for your email database. That's a major step—especially today when people are generally overloaded with emails and are increasingly selective about their opt-ins.
It's increasingly difficult to keep subscribers in your email databases. It's a relationship. A relationship between you, the company, and the client or customer. One key to beginning this email marketing relationship successfully is a welcome email that wows the new subscriber. Here are 10 ways to make the newest members of your email database feel special.
- Use the subscriber's name. Start with the subject line: 'Welcome Scott' or 'Welcome Sara' goes a long way. And in the body copy, start with a personalized salutation. Thank you, Scott, for joining us. Thank you, Sara, for joining us.
- Say 'thank you' and include the method of subscription. It can be useful to remind the new subscriber how and why they signed up for your email database; this buttresses their decision.
- INCLUDE A THANK YOU OFFER…persuade the new subscriber to start buying right away by giving them an irresistible offer.
- Frequency. Let the subscriber know how often they will receive emails. One proven tactic is to offer the subscriber the opportunity to change frequency.
- Gather more data. To encourage opt ins, you may have asked for just the first name and email address. That's fine, but it can be extremely valuable to start gathering some additional demographic and psychographic information in the welcome email. You may need to provide an additional incentive to gather this additional valuable information. It's worth it: by segmenting your database, you gain additional marketing horsepower.
- Make it easy to leave the list. "Are you serious?" you may ask. "Yes. Absolutely." Make it clear that you're completely fair and ethical when it comes to your email marketing.
- Safe sending. Include an easy way for new subscribers to 'white list' your emails. This helps to ensure delivery of emails and also helps to make sure that images get through.
- Please tell your friends. New subscribers will encourage friends and family to subscribe—especially if you provide them with an incentive.
- Take your time. It's better to send several shorter thank you emails than one behemoth welcome email.
- Make it timely. If it's the holiday season, then make sure the content is for the holiday season. If it's summer, then make the content complement the season. You can also build welcome email marketing content around events.
All email marketing is important. The welcome emails provide an opportunity to make a great first impression. Use the proven methods above and you'll be more likely to keep those all-important new subscribers engaged with your email marketing. And when subscribers are engaged, they're more likely to buy your products and services.

The Easiest Valentine's Day Crafts for Kids.
I realize it's only January and Valentine's Day doesn't come until next month and everything. But if you're like me and your kids are going to be involved in making valentines for their class/friends/loved ones, guess what, you better start thinking about it now, even if they are easy Valentine's Day gifts.
Last year I shared some excellent Kids' Valentine's Day crafts and even made some with the kids.
This year I have some other ideas collected I'm debating doing with the kids. The theme this year seems to be Simple Valentines, but then again that's always my theme.
At the Small Object a cute idea using crepe paper, paper circles decorated with drawing and stamps. I was thinking coffee filters could work for this as well, though they'd be less frilly and colorful. You could paint them with water colors if you wanted to get that involved. Generally painting with kids is against my religion, but you may have different heart felt beliefs about children and paint.
I like this Valentine Heart Letter idea from Martha. A simple heart on decorative paper, folded into an envelope with a message inside. So many papers would work beautifully for this project. Start out looking here.
Here's a keepsake type of valentine from Wondertime which is probably less of a classroom valentine and better as a gift for all those loving grandparents and teachers. A sheet of magnet is decorated and cut into a heart. Easy for even the littlest hands to do.
I think kids would love creating this valentine for their classmates, it's almost a magic trick for them. Fold the paper twice, cut half a heart, unfold and you've magically got two hearts. Try it on decorative paper and let your kid write his name to complete.
If you're not going to make valentines with your kid, it's okay. My personal motto is, "What needs to get done, gets done." Here are some adorable valentine's from the lovely Brenda at Secret Agent Josephine. At just $5 for 36 of them, I'm kind of feeling the rearranging of my time commitments.
I'll keep you posted on which option the kids and I end up doing together. I'm even secretly tossing around the idea of a shrinky dink valentine themed magnet project. Hmmmm….

Last year, while casting around for a Valentine to make with my 2 year old, I used your hand-tracing idea and, lo, they were a hit.
pnuts mama Jan 29 at 4:50 pm Reply
when pnut was a baby, i cut out two big red hearts and on one side of one i used a black sharpie and wrote "I" and the other wrote "MY" on one side and "DADDY" on the other.
then i took a bunch of pictures of her holding the heart (both sides), picked out the cutest of each, and printed them out wallet-sized (kodak easyshare lets you put 4 on a 4×6″ sheet, i know other photo printers have capabilities like this too). and framed it in a red frame from marshalls.
older kids could decorate a cardboard frame with those candy hearts for a cute picture on dad's desk/vehicle.
i love crafty things for valentines day!

These are just lovely! Valentines day is perfect for crafting! 😛

- Appearance
- Hydrocharis morsus-ranae is a free-floating aquatic plant that resembles a miniature water lily.
- Foliage
- The leaves of the plant are round, and heart shaped, (the size of a Canadian two-dollar coin) with veins coming off the mid-vein that arch broadly following the shape of the leaf. The undersides of the leaves are dark purplish-red and have a spongy coating, which helps the plant float on top of the water.
- Flowers
- It has a single white flower approximately 0.6 in. (1.5 cm) in diameter with three rounded petals and a yellow center.
- Fruit
- Seeds are approximately 0.04 in. (1 mm) long.
- Ecological Threat
- In the fall, Hydrocharis morsus-ranae breaks apart and decomposes, falling to the bottom of the lake. The decomposition of huge volumes of vegetation in the water can deplete dissolved oxygen levels. If there are insufficient amounts of oxygen, fish and other aquatic organisms can die. These thick mats can also impede the movement of large fish and diving ducks.

Joel Edmundson
Brandon Manitoba
Eligible for draft:
2nd round (46th overall), 2011
208 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2007-08: Joel Edmundson was chosen in the sixth round, 121st overall, of the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft by the Moose Jaw Warriors.
2008-09: Edmundson skated for the Brandon Wheat Kings Midget AAA team.
2009-10: Edmundson played for the Brandon Wheat Kings midget AAA team in the MMHL. In 44 games, he scored 10 goals and added 35 assists for 45 points to go along with 54 penalty minutes. In 7 playoff games, he notched 5 assists.
2010-11: In his WHL rookie season, Edmundson played in 71 games for the Warriors. He scored 2 goals and added 18 assists for 20 points while adding on 95 penalty minutes.
2011-12: Edmundson provided both toughness and supplementary scoring for Moose Jaw in his second season of junior hockey. The Warriors finished first in the WHL's East Division yet had six players with 80 or more penalty minutes. Edmundson was plus-13 with 4 goals and 19 assists in 56 games and his 91 penalty minutes were fourth-most on the team. Moose Jaw reached the playoff semifinals and Edmundson was plus-2 with 3 goals and 2 assists and had 12 penalty minutes in 14 playoff games.
2012-13: Edmundson went from struggling Moose Jaw to playoff-bound Kamloops in a January trade in his third WHL season. The move seemed to spark both the Blazers and Edmundson as his experience solidified a young defense corps and Edmundson finished with 17 points in his last 34 games after scoring 2 goals with 6 assists in 29 games for Moose Jaw. In 63 games between the two teams he scored 9 goals with 16 assists and was minus-2 (plus-9 with Kamloops) with 141 penalty minutes. Kamloops reached the Western Conference finals after finishing second in the B.C. Division. Edmundson scored 3 goals with 5 assists and was plus-2 with 29 penalty minutes in 15 playoff games. He signed a three-year entry-level contract with St. Louis in March, 2013.
2013-14: Edmundson played for the Blues' rookie team in the Traverse City Tournament before skating for St. Louis AHL affiliate Chicago as a 20-year-old in his first pro season. In 64 regular season games for the Wolves he scored 4 goals with 4 assists and was plus-4 with 108 penalty minutes (second only to team leader Cody Beach, 109). The Wolves finished first in the Midwest Division and advanced to the second round in the playoffs. Edmundson had no points and was minus-3 with 16 penalty minutes in five playoff games.
Talent Analysis
Edmundson has good size, but will have to improve his foot speed. Goaltenders will love him, as he is capable of physically clearing the area in front of his own goal. He is a tough defender that can deliver devastating body checks but still needs to improve his angling, reverse pivoting and gap control. He's starting to show some offensive upside to his game, makes a good first pass up the ice and possesses a hard, heavy shot from the point.
Edumundson was assigned to St. Louis AHL affiliate Chicago at the start of the 2014-15 season but as of the start of December had yet to appear in a game due to a back injury. With a strong physical component to his game any injury of this type could cast shadows over his long-term future. Projection-wise, assuming he is able to make a full recovery Edmundson could grow into a potential top-four defenseman at the NHL level but he will have to fight for a spot with the AHL club upon his return.

What should you do?
"Lay back. Play it cool, bro. Don't act so desperate."
"Just follow your heart! Be yourself! Be confident!"
"Don't be a douchebag. Listen to her and be sensitive to her needs."
"Neg her! Use social proof. Demonstrate higher value."
Relationship advice is so confusing and contradictory. Nobody can give you a straight fucking answer. You're so worried about making a bad decision that you refuse to make any decision. No wonder you're on prescription meds and have chronic insecurity. No wonder you're obsessed with looking like Captain America. No wonder you're ruled by how you feel. And no wonder your social skills are in the toilet.
Let's be honest. You dread talking to girls either you're too shy to strike up a conversation, or you end up wasting time at bars and clubs tolerating loud music, pretending to be interested in what some ditzy bitch has to say.
You couldn't give 2 fucks about this world...
Like most guys, you feel stuck in a never-ending downward shit-spiral of social anxiety and sexual frustration... We know how you feel because we're all stuck in the same social sewer... but with one major difference:
We've cut through the bullshit for you!
Manhood Academy is the only accredited worldwide social training center in existence today. It's specifically designed to rescue helpless fucks like you.
You want to talk to that girl? You want to make new friends in your classes? You want to stop feeling like a social pariah at work? You want to stand up to that bitch? You want to fuck a girl you actually care about? You want to get people to like you? You want to learn how to really open up and say what you're thinking?
This our mission!
Manhood Academy is designed to UNFUCK your existence. That means developing practical social skills the ones that your friends, parents, and society neglected to teach you. You're going to get a politically incorrect, brutally honest, experience-tested crash course in relationship management that actually works. And best of all it's ABSOLUTELY FREE.
Look, if you need a helping hand implementing the relationship principles taught here, we are committed to training you. But even if you can't afford 69 cents per day, we'll still give you a 100% FREE education on our dime! That's how dedicated we are to helping men around the world succeed!
No other institution on the planet can make such a bold claim!
Whether it's fingering a slut in the backseat of a Honda Civic on your first date, or getting that shy Korean nerd sitting next to you in Hebrew class to open his mouth, or dealing with that bitch at your job, or saving your wife from ending up on the business end of your neighbor's comforting dong, or addressing your girlfriend's shitty behavior without having to shove her head through a plate glass window, or preventing your fantasy of shooting your nagging mom in the face from becoming a reality, or learning how to motivate your drunken, suicidal Chinese iPod factory employees, or just standing up for yourself in a culture that sneers down at men, our goal is to set the world on fire, starting with your tender ass.
I know what you're thinking. Your buddies Mystery & Style are gonna save you with their magical pickup artist game.
Here's your bullshit superheros in REAL LIFE:
And here's the rest of their buddies in action:
Do we even need to mention how shitty "life coaches" are? Tony Robbins and Jack Canfield love peddling "stay positive! reach for the stars!" feel-good strategies. They'll tell you to "not filter your current relationships through the past" and to "use your partner to trigger that awakening inside yourself!" They might even give you some practical tips like maintaining good eye contact. But without a holistic understanding of relationships, talking to people degrades into a complex exercise of not offending the other person and desperately looking for things in common. Instead of getting what you need, you end up settling for watered down chit-chat. After their con game wears off, you're still the same insecure, neurotic faggot you started as. Only now you're better at hiding it.
We're going to save you a lot of time, money, heartache, and masturbation. Our job isn't done until you have the ability to form relationships with everyone you meet. We're not just here to give you a handjob or a few social tips. We actually demonstrate what does and doesn't work, so you gain a firsthand understanding of what it really takes to create and maintain a relationship that meets your needs.
Start by grabbing our free ebook. It illustrates the governing principles you'll see at work in all good relationships. If you've ever wanted to know what people think about you when they talk to you, or why you always end up in the Friendzone, or what you can do to UNFUCK your neurotic mind when you walk into a room full of people, this book is for you.
We don't fuck around! Guys from every country in the world will back us up on that!
Right. Fucking. NOW.

Single Parenting: Advice for Moms
If you're a single mother, you may have to deal with a father who isn't very involved in your child's life. How you explain the situation to your child is important. Dr. Phil shares his advice:
Realize that no matter what you do, you can't force your child's father to be involved.
Although having a father figure is important, it's not everything. As a good mother, you don't need a father to raise your child in a quality fashion.
Forcing a reluctant father to talk on the phone will only confuse your child.
If you try to force a relationship with a father who doesn't want one, your child is bound to feel disappointed and rejected.
Don't talk negatively about your child's father, but don't glorify him, either.
Leave the door open for responsible contact between the father and your child.

Jefferson City looks at changing noise ordinance
Thursday, July 26, 2012
Jefferson City is preparing to revamp its outdated noise ordinance with more measurable standards.
Proposed noise ordinance
At the Council Committee on Administration meeting Wednesday, City Counselor Drew Hilpert presented an amended noise ordinance that would be easier for police to enforce.
"It's so far out of date to be almost inapplicable," Hilpert said.

Slipknot is a heavy metal band, known as much for their aggressive music as they are for their on-stage appearance. The members decided to wear matching jumpsuits and unique masks, to separate themselves from the music. They claimed that it lets them focus on what makes the music powerful, and keeps them as totally separate entities. If you're a huge fan of Slipknot, then you'll need one of our Slipknot Costumes These costumes consist of the band's signature jumpsuits, as well as their cool masks. You can become your favorite band member from your favorite era, as the band has been around since 1995. The band members have remained constant, aside from the founding bassist, Paul Gray, who passed in 2010. But the band has continued making music, now in tribute to Gray's memory.
Fans of Slipknot are some of the most intense fans in the world. Many concerts have had to be stopped in order to regain control of the crowds, due to the intense nature of the band's music and personalities. Other bands have worn masks before as part of their gimmick, but Slipknot has a much larger, much more devout cult following than many other bands like them do. They have also stated that the masks are not meant to be a gimmick, but that they are very important to their music making process. Many critics are skeptical of this, but real believers in the power of this band's music know that the band members are right, and that the masks are very meaningful.

The Joint Committee on Taxation released a report to Committee of Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp shortly after the Supreme Court ruling that recalculates the costs to insurers, consumers and businesses under the new plan. According to their report – which does not include updated scores for the individual mandate, the employer mandate, or certain other revenue effects – the tax increases that remain on the books will cost taxpayers more than $675 billion over the next ten years. Chief among these will be the sales tax on the purchase of health insurance, totaling $101.7 billion, and making it larger than all the other industry-specific taxes combined.
"The health insurance tax will add a financial burden on families and small businesses at a time when they can least afford it, and it should be repealed, " says AHIP, a trade association representing health insurance industry providers, in today's call for the repeal of the health insurance tax before it can take affect. As they report,
· Starting next year the ACA imposes a new $100 billion tax on health insurance. The tax will start at $8 billion in 2014, increasing to $14.3 billion in 2018, and will continue to increase each year.
· The health insurance tax is larger than the device tax and the prescription drug tax combined.
· The health insurance tax will increase costs for individuals and families purchasing coverage on their own, small businesses, seniors and people with disabilities enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, and state Medicaid managed care plans.
· The health insurance tax is far greater than the minimum penalty for those who choose not to buy health insurance – further incentivizing young, healthy people to forgo purchasing insurance until they need medical care.
President Obama views the tax revenue generated by the health insurance sales tax and the twenty one other tax hikes in the ACA as essential to fund the his expensive Obamacare reform. John C. Goodman, author of Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis (Independent Institute, 2012) and President of the National Center for Policy Analysis, joins AHIP's Ignani in his dissention of Obama's costly healthcare tax increases, claiming they are for American families already wrought with worry amidst an economic recession.
"The ObamaCare health insurance tax hits some of the most vulnerable people in our society, including poor people in Medicaid managed care plans and seniors in Medicaid advantage plans. It is also a tax on middle-income families who were promised by this administration that taxes would never rise."
In fact, Medicare Advantage beneficiaries will see costs rise from $16 to $20 per member per month in 2014 – increasing to between $32 and $42 by 2023. The costs for Medicare Advantage coverage over the next ten years is expected to reach $3,590. Individuals on Medicaid managed care will see increase costs on an average of $1,530 per enrollee between 2014 and 2023.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) supports Ignagni and Goodman's warnings, stating that the health insurance sales tax will be "largely passed through to consumers in the form of higher premiums." Unfortunately, as Goodman predicts, "this is only one example of many middle income taxes buried in ObamaCare." The time to repeal and replace is narrowing, with just months now separating us from another massive tax hike that Americans cannot afford.

|Simon celebrates Constitution Week with civics lesson

'Courtroom in the Classroom' program illustrates government impact on students
CARBONDALE – September 21, 2012. As Constitution Week comes to a close in Illinois, Lt. Governor Sheila Simon brought a civics lesson to students at Carbondale Community High School. The "Courtroom in the Classroom" presentation in Carbondale is one of 225 like presentations that the Illinois Judges Association is sponsoring at Illinois high schools throughout the month.
"Each branch of our government has a very real impact on students throughout the state," said Simon, a former Jackson County prosecutor. "The Courtroom in the Classroom program helps to vividly make that connection and engage students in our democracy."
Judge Carolyn Smoot, Judge Christy Solverson and Supreme Court Justice Lloyd Karmeier joined Simon in leading a discussion on the U.S. Supreme Court case New Jersey v T.L.O.
The 1985 case involved a female student caught smoking in the school bathroom. The principal searched her purse and found marijuana, paraphernalia and money, implicating the student in drug dealing. The student claimed the search violated her 4th Amendment rights, but the court held that the search was reasonable.
"Not only have students found these presentations to be engaging and educational, but they have been fun," Solverson said. "I'm glad I have had the opportunity to share my work with these students, and I look forward to continuing to spread this message across the state."
Governor Pat Quinn declared September 17-23 as Constitution Week in Illinois in honor of the 225th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. The declaration encourages Illinois residents to recognize the importance of the Constitution in our enduring tradition of democracy, and "reaffirm our commitment to the rights and responsibilities of citizenship."
The proclamation was presented to the Illinois Judges Association during a ceremony at the State Supreme Court on September 12.###

Tablesaw tips, tricks, and techniques, Part 2
Make an instant extension table.
A simple T-shape support, made from scrap plywood or MDF, mounts in your portable clamping workstation, as shown. Once you've matched the support to your table height, drill the base of the support and insert dowels to instantly set the height each time. To make this table even more versatile, use it with your bandsaw and mitersaw, drilling separate dowel holes for each height.

The dowels idea is good if your shop floor is smooth and level or if you don't move your saw around. But, if your floor isn't level, forego the dowels and use a straight board, on edge to adjust the extension table at 2 places to make it parallel to the saw table.5/29/2014 03:10:56 PM Report Abuse

text: The word "greed" has been terribly misused to demonize people who are competent and earn more money than most, as in "It is greedy to earn more money than one needs." The valid use of the word "greed" is to apply it to someone who receives money they did not earn or deserve. It is logical to everyone, not an idiot, that the pay for an employee of government should be less for the same level of responsibility and ability as in private employment. This is obviously so because a government employee has far more job security. Few former government employees are unemployed in Wisconsin today. Greed is exhibited by Wisconsin government union employees receiving excessive salary, healthcare and retirement benefits extorted from elected officials fearful of losing the next election.

If you guessed that Brennan Boesch would be the latest Yankee player to be scratched from the lineup, you don't win a prize!
They're saying (and by they, I am referring to the Yankee beat writers on Twitter) that it's left ribcage stiffness.
Official word on Brennan Boesch lineup scratch is left rib cage stiffness. No word on whether its serious or not.

At this point, it's just amusing. Even more amusing will be later in the regular season when the Yankees march out a lineup made up entirely of Triple A players.

Hyper Knuckles
this wiki
Hyper Knuckles (ハイパーナックルズ Haipā Nakkuruzu?) is Knuckles the Echidna's hyper transformation that is gained when he taps into the power of seven Super Emeralds and 50 power rings or the Master Emerald. His only game appearance was in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but he has made a couple of appearances in the Archie Comics fighting several enemies like Super Sonic, Robotnik, and Mammoth Mogul. However, it should be noted that in the Archie Comics, Hyper Knuckles is the given name of Knuckles's Chaos Emerald powered Super State.
Like Super Knuckles, Knuckles does not receive any physical transformation, but his fur pulses from red to pink. Unlike his Super form, however, any movement he makes leaves after-images.
Powers and abilities
While in Hyper form, Knuckles's natural abilities are multiplied many times over; his already impressive strength, speed and accuracy increase vastly, and he is virtually invulnerable as long as the transformation lasts. Since Hyper Knuckles is an enhanced version of Super Knuckles, all of his physical abilities surpass that of Super Knuckles and he gains additional abilities as well. When gliding into a wall, Hyper Knuckles can perform the "Gliding Shock Wave Attack" which cause an earthquake that destroys all enemies on the screen, and he can breathe underwater as well. In the comics, Knuckles's natural bond with the Chaos Force is also more open to him while in this state, granting him abilities he would not otherwise be able to control.
Like most other super transformations, caused by the Chaos Emeralds/Super Emeralds, once he runs out of rings, he returns to his normal form.
Archie Comics
In the Sonic the Hedgehog series from Archie Comics, Knuckles first achieved his Hyper form when a confrontation with Sonic the Hedgehog pulled them both into another Zone from that of Mobius Prime. Having collected seven Chaos Emeralds and fifty Power Rings each, both fighters transformed into their advanced forms. After a brief battle, the two were expelled from the Zone and powered down, though Knuckles got a backup Chaos Emerald for Angel Island out of the struggle.(SvK)
Some time later, he would use this form in a battle with Master Mogul alongside Super Sonic and Turbo Tails, using Mogul's Emeralds and Power Rings provided by the Ancient Walkers to power up. In the resulting battle, Mogul became imprisoned in the recently created Master Emerald. (StH: #56)
A year later, after losing his Chaos powers due to returning from the afterlife, Knuckles would use the Master Emerald to take this form again without the aid of Chaos Emeralds, this time calling it Super Knuckles, as he did battle with the villainous Hunter, eventually throwing him off Angel Island and killing him. (StH: #125, #141)

Why is such an easy question so often hard to answer? Is it because we fear an obligation to ourselves and others by admitting it out loud? Or, could it be that we simply don't feel that we deserve what we want? Even more sinister is the possible negative reaction we may impose upon ourselves by those around us who scoff at the very idea of what we want.
Even Charles Dickens in his classic, A Christmas Carol, warned us to fear "want." He did, however, warn us to fear "ignorance" even more, but that's a subject we'll save for another time.
As children, we were free to want as much as our hearts desired. After all, most of our needs were being met, and we had all the time in the world to focus on our wants. We had no obligation to a thinner waistline, so we were free to want that extra helping of cake. We had no obligation to pay the mortgage, so we were free to want that shiny new toy. We had no obligation to our own education, so we were free to want to be astronauts and presidents and professional athletes.
As adults, our wants tend to get pushed aside in favor of survival.
The problem then becomes one of regret versus fulfillment. Regret for not doing the things we know we should in order to get what we want. Regret for the decisions we've made that have forced us to put our wants on the back burner. Regret for wanting (and sometimes getting) things that bring us more misery than joy.
Wanting, in and of itself, is in no way evil. It can be, after all, the catalyst for great success. The problem is "wanting" what is bad for us instead of what is good for us. For example, "wanting" to lie around all morning instead of "wanting" to workout. Certainly, lying around fulfills a desire. However, working out will fulfill a much more worthy desire: the desire to be better then you are now, versus the desire to be lazy. But it's difficult to want something you know will bring you discomfort in the short run instead of comfort right now.
I'm not telling anyone, including myself, anything new or shocking here. It is simply meant to be a gentle reminder that when we want the best for ourselves, we must be willing to walk through the fire from time to time.
At midnight tonight, the calendar will once again give us the opportunity to reset our lives. We have an opportunity to clarify our wants and work toward them with a renewed spirit and fervor.
Your wants are waiting for you. Will 2013 be your year? Only you have the power to decide that, and it's all based on what you truly want!
Happy New Year!
Thank you, Rob, for this inspiring post on resetting our lives so that we ensure that we go after our wants [vs. living a life full of regrets].
Timing is everything… it so happens that I gained some clarity in my life quite recently and this will enable me to take some steps towards new/different goals. Despite some fears/ anxiety [due to the inherent risks and/or possibilities of rejection involved], I am looking forward to 2014 and all that it may bring!
Wishing you and Jacqui a happy and healthy new year,
Good afternoon Dorlee and thank you so much for spending some time reading my musings. As you may have guessed, this was a blog from last year that Jac decided to recycle. I am tickled to know that you "have gained some clarity". It is much easier to arrive at your destination when you can see where you're going. Those who have sailed the vast oceans know that all too well. No matter how skilled a navigator may be, it is the sight of dry land, particularly the dry land that was the intended destination, that gives him the greatest sense of hope and accomplishment. I wish you all the best in the coming year and years. Fear is not always a bad thing. It keeps on our toes and moving. Embrace it as you would fire. Just be aware that it can be as dangerous as it can be helpful. Cheers to you my Friend.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Melissa Gorga Shows Furry Friends Some Love
Dina Manzo may be the big animal lover in the Real Housewives of New Jersey group, but a different Jersey Housewife also recently stepped out for our furry friends. Melissa Gorga attended the Animal Fair Paws for Style Event, where she strutted in a gorgeous silver mini-dress on the red carpet.
According to K9 Magazine, the charity shindig raised a nice chunk of money for the Humane Society of New York.
"More than $60,000 was raised for the Humane Society of New York at the red carpet event — no mean feat — and it's great to see such a large sum raised for a worthy cause," the article reported.
Melissa shared a link to the story on her Twitter, writing, "60,000!! Yay!"
Also, her sparkly dress was either auctioned off or given away in a contest, as it has definitely found its way to a new fabulous closet. The lucky winner of the pretty frock went on Melissa's Twitter to gush about how excited she is to wear it.
"@melissagorga hello Melissa I won the dress that you wore for the Humane Society. I can't wait to get it," she wrote.
The short dress features a fitted rhinestone top, with spaghetti straps, while the skirt poofs out in satin silver. A satin belt cinches the fabric at the waist.
It's great to see Melissa volunteering her time for a great cause and sharing her awesome fashion with others! Dina also attended the event, and they should both be proud of the money they helped raise.
Are you surprised to hear that Melissa was at the event? Share your thoughts below!

Associated Press Release
MAYVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- Two groups of Wisconsin-raised whooping cranes have been released to fly toward warmer climates for the winter.
Nine were released last Thursday from the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge in Dodge County near some older whooping cranes from which they will learn the migration route south.
On Oct. 2, eight young whooping cranes left the White River Marsh State Wildlife Area in Green Lake County. They are being led south by ultralight planes operated through Operation Migration. They were in Winnebago County, Ill. as of Tuesday and are expected to arrive at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in Florida by the end of the year.
Both efforts are done through Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership, an international coalition of public and private groups reintroducing the species in eastern North America.

Of all the genres most impacted by cultural tenability, the one I miss the most in this cynical age is the whodunit. We're sharp enough by now that when sitting down to watch a murder mystery, we have our mental checklist at the ready, full of things like, "The most obvious suspect is going to disappear and/or die a third of the way through at the latest" on down the line to a bunch of things I won't get into here because they'd telegraph what happens in Talaash, the latest Aamir Khan picture, co-starring Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor, directed by Reema Kagti.
Talaash (roughly "Search" in English, appropriately) stylishly, and at its own pace, presents the audience with a real head-scratcher of a whodunit: beloved movie star Armaan Kapoor (because of course his name's Kapoor, he's a movie star, and this is Mumbai) inexplicably drives his car off the road into the ocean and drowns, right by Mumbai's red light district. Inspector Surjan Singh Shekhawat (Aamir Khan) heads up the investigation, which reaches from the movie business to the criminal underworld, to Inspector Shekhawat's own home, where he and his wife Roshni (Rani Mukerji) struggle with the death—by drowning, quelle coincidence—of their young son, Karan. The investigation leads to a mysterious prostitute who gives her name as Rosie (Kareena Kapoor), who despite appearing to be at the center of the murder conspiracy, helps the cops, specifically Inspector Shekhawat. In the mix are pimps, blackmailers, long-suffering sex workers, born losers looking to hit it big, red herrings, everything a good crime yarn needs.
Director Reema Kagti and co-writer Zoya Akhtar end up using the familiarity of the material to their advantage, crafting an impeccably structured mystery yarn that, in tipping a few answers early on, only deepens the surprise of the ultimate resolution. Going into any detail about what that resolution is would ruin the immensely satisfying surprise, so I'll put it this way: it's something that a) only an Indian movie could pull off this awesomely, and b) pursuant to point a) sticks the landing as smoothly as it does in large part through the transcendent power of movie stars.
Aamir Khan's performance in the lead is its own bit of misdirection. Aamir is not only sporting a mustache of epic mustachely epicness (seriously, Aamir's 'stache in this is FUCKING AMAZING) but the ferocity of his charisma and the absolutely unimpeachable craft of his acting—in the complete service of the movie rather than making himself look good—obscure the fact that this story is really driven by its two heroines.
Rani Mukerji is less Aamir's wife in this than Aamir is Rani Mukerji's husband; that's not just semantics, Aamir's one of the fucking Three Khans, for fuck's sake, no one's that big. Well, so you'd think until you see the scene when Rani has enough of Aamir's moodiness and just fucking breaks him off some. She takes one of the biggest movie stars in the goddamn galaxy and just flat out "motherfucker please"s him. That scene is but one highlight; she doesn't have a huge part but when she's on screen she is on screen.
Now, Kareena Kapoor. Okay. There's a limit to how specific we can get about Bebo's role in all this without giving up the whole movie, so this paragraph's going to be a little short on proper nouns and a little long on vaguely allusive language. Let's try this: Bebo's performance and the way Kagti films her throughout intertwine seamlessly, each perfectly defining her role in the grand scheme of things. In the moment, some of her beats seem a little awkward, and her motivation really cloudy even by femme fatale standards, but in the end it all retroactively makes sense.
|(credit: Reliance Big Pictures)
However, rather than continue on with Bebo-worship, let's talk about what a great goddamn job Reema Kagti does directing this her second feature. The cinematics are polished, if nothing extraordinary, but the pacing is exquisite, and there's something to be said for the fact that Aamir and Bebo—both of whom have extremely high bars—are even better than normal and Rani shiiiiiiines. Yeah, they're movie stars, but there's more to it than just casting someone charismatic and turning the camera on: when everyone's a notch above their standard the director did a good job. And, not that it has any bearing on the movie itself, but it's always nice to see young women directors making movies, especially when the chances are good that they'll crack the hallowed 100 Crore Club (long story short for Western readers: 100 crore is a billion rupees, grossing which means it's a big-ass hit; only 16 movies have yet crossed that threshold, out of approximately zillions of releases.)
Talaash is not uncommon in recent Hindi cinema in that it takes its formal and structural cues more from Hollywood and Western cinema than it does traditional masala, which prides itself (and I mean this in the most ardently supportive way possible) on stories that make emotional rather than logical sense, feature extravagant, brightly-colored song picturizations, and treat subtlety as though it was something that was overthrown along with British colonial rule. Talaash, conversely, is a narrative constructed with mathematical precision that certainly doesn't slack on emotion and emotional pay-off, but still assembles the pieces of its puzzle in a way much more Western than one would customarily see in a Hindi picture even five years ago. "More" shouldn't be read as "completely," however. Talaash takes the best of both 'woods, Holly and Bolly, and crafts an eminently satisfying crowd-pleaser of a crime drama that requires some leaps of faith on the part of the audience, but rewards those leaps of faith with a seamless ride. What answers it provides are not the ones you think you're going to get, but they're the right ones. It's a damn good time at the movies.

03 Aug 2010, OpenLink , CommodityPoint , Energy Risk
One of the most important challenges in the energy business is the optimal management of complex energy portfolios – making decisions under uncertainty. Current challenges energy professionals face include:
In a complex portfolio with flexible cross-commodity positions, transmission capacities, storage and generation assets, and trading alternatives, the decision-maker must take into account all interrelations between the portfolio assets as well as the coherence of the supply-demand solution.
A lot of these decisions have to be made in a situation where many input factors are still uncertain. For an optimal decision-making process, it is important to have all related information available and to be able to analyse the necessary variety of scenarios and their business impacts on profit and risk.

Hess Corp Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (HES)
TheStreet) -- Hess (NYSE: HES) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B- . The company's strongest point has been its expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- HESS CORP's earnings per share declined by 9.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, HESS CORP reported lower earnings of $5.01 versus $6.50 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.90 versus $5.01).
- HES, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 1.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 5.6%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- In its most recent trading session, HES has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- The gross profit margin for HESS CORP is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 28.10%. Regardless of HES's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 5.90% trails the industry average.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.39, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Despite the fact that HES's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 0.69 is low and demonstrates weak liquidity.

Thursday, January 17, 2013
After a meeting of the 13th Judicial Circuit Court en Banc Tuesday, Judge Jodie Capshaw Asel has been elected to serve as Presiding Judge for the circuit, with her term beginning Jan. 31.
Asel will succeed Judge Gary Oxenhandler, who served as Presiding Judge since March 2010. In that capacity, she will handle budgetary and personnel matters for the court in addition to the general civil and criminal dockets she hears.
"I'm looking forward to it," said Asel. "I think it'll be interesting to delve more into the workings of the court than the way I've done, which is mainly deal with my dockets."
Asel, the Division IV Circuit Judge, has a long and varied career in the Missouri legal system that put her in contact with many other prominent state legal officials. She was born in southeastern Missouri and attended the University of Missouri's Law School in 1968, graduating in 1975.

Vi's Corner
By Vi Logan
Sep 9, 2012 - 9:45:14 AM
BEVERLY HILLS—My name is "Liam", and a few weeks ago you met my mom "Leah". Although, at that time you were told we were buddies, not mom and son. I know that it seems a little confusing, so I'll try to explain. You see, one night we were left in a crate on the doorstep of the Friends of Animals Foundation. There was no note left with us to explain anything about us. At first we were thought to be brother and sister. Then the Vet said that "Leah"was about three years old and that I was under a year, so that wasn't possible. Now we're thought to be mother and son. I hope that I haven't confused you too much!
So, now to tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a Min Pin, under a year old, and weigh about eight pounds. I'm very affectionate, love all people, and get along great with other dogs. My mom and I cause people to do double takes when we're out walking, as we make quite a striking pair, prancing along.
We sure would like to be adopted together, if at all possible. But, if not, we understand, and just want what is best for each other.
I hope that you will make an appointment to see us. Just in case we're not the ones for you, I hope that you will check the website, which is: foafla.petfinder.com, where you will see all of my four-footed friends that are waiting for fur-ever homes! I just heard a big "meow", which translated means, "whatever you do, don't forget us kitty cats"! They are so bossy! But, they mean well, and are just waiting for that special person, too. So, please don't forget them!

To our knowledge there has not been a clamoring for Big Momma 3 since Big Momma's House 2 exited theaters five years ago. Nevertheless, Hollywood has delivered it to us, without advance screening for critics.
"...kind of a drag when it resorts to frantic slapstick and tired action-comedy tropes, but modestly engaging during stretches that suggest the project would have worked better as an exuberant musical."
"...won't likely disappoint fans of men-in-drag comedy but doesn't offer much that's original or funny."
"...a sad excuse for a cross-dressing sequel."
"Thanks a bunch, Tyler Perry. Your antics in old-lady dress-up have inspired Martin Lawrence to literally drag his worst franchise out of the closet and back onto the big screen, cheaper and more lazily than ever."
"It's a true rubber-necker's delight, a comedy so inconceivably tacky that it will make you question whether or not you're laughing at the film or with it."

Significant Padres injuries in 2013
Cory Luebke (elbow), missed whole season.
Cameron Maybin (knee, wrist), missed 148 games.
Yasmani Grandal (knee), missed 134 games — 50 to suspension.
Carlos Quentin (knees), missed 80 games.
Everth Cabrera (hamstring), missed 67 games — 50 to suspension.
Yonder Alonso (hand), missed 65 games.
Jeff Gyorko (groin), missed 37 games.
PEORIA, Ariz. Being that he was the Padres' starting pitcher Wednesday, Andrew Cashner got to pick the pregame music. He went with country.
Fitting for this team. A few more injuries, and tumbleweeds just may roll through the clubhouse.
This doesn't look too good so far, does it? Spring Training for the rest of baseball, Spring Waning for the Padres' roster.
We're less than a week into March and already Cameron Maybin is out (2-3 months) because of a biceps tear, Cory Luebke gone (the whole season) with an elbow tear, and Chase Headley sidelined (two weeks) because of a strained calf.
This is supposed to be the most optimistic time of the year, when even the most futile franchises delete their memory banks and scream "here we go!" But if you're the Pads, at least part of you has to be thinking "here we go again."
Not once during their 76-win season last year could San Diego say "at least we have our health." Carlos Quentin, the team's highest-paid player in 2013, missed 80 games. Maybin sat out 148, First baseman Yonder Alonso missed 65, first-half Rookie of the Year the candidate Jedd Gyorko missed 37, and catcher Yasmani Grandal — though also serving a suspension — was out for 134.
The pitching staff forgot its injury-bug repellant too, with Cashner, Tyson Ross and Clayton Richard enduring inning-whittling dings, and Casey Kelly, Joe Wieland and Luebke all forced to skip the year.
Hey, injuries are part of the sport, but it became an incessant and excessive part of the Padres last season. And at some point, when it keeps happening, don't you have to wonder if it's as much curse as it is coincidence?
"I understand the question, but no," said Headley after a long pause. "You really feel for the guy who's hurt, but once you start to think that you're snakebitten, that just adds to the misery."
Plus, you gotta remember, when something happens many times in the past, fans tend to notice when it happens any time in the present. Michael Jordan could have missed 15 straight buzzer beaters at the tail end of his career, but the public would still zero in on the one he drilled. Same is true of a fan base disregarding a stretch of good health for a perpetually banged up team.
With the Padres, however, this isn't just in people's heads. As ESPN lead baseball scribe Buster Olney tweeted after Maybin's prognosis was announced: "The Padres' bad luck with injuries is beyond absurd."
But is it really just bad luck that we're talking about? Or is it possible that the Padres created some of the "luck" themselves?
Maybin suffered a labrum tear, a pulled groin and shoulder soreness as a Marlins minor leaguer in 2010, then inked a 5-year, $25 million deal with the Padres in 2012. Meanwhile, San Diego General Manager Josh Byrnes extended Quentin to a 3-year, $27 million contract in 2012 despite the fact that he had never played more than 131 games in a season with the White Sox, and had two seasons in which he missed at least 44.
Would it really be a surprise if Quentin's starts were limited to double digits this year, just like they have been the last two? Would it really be a shock if starting pitcher Josh Johnson, whom the Padres acquired via a one-year deal this offseason, rekindled his battle with the shoulder inflammation that limited him to nine games in 2011, or the arm stiffness that kept him to 16 in 2011?
