About the Author
John Green attended a boarding school in Alabama not unlike Alaska's Culver Creek. After graduating from college in 2000, he worked as a chaplain at a children's hospital. His experiences with patients and their families during intense crises solidified his desire to write for teens and inspired him to bring his comic sensibility to a candid novel about the excitement of breaking the rules and the challenge of confronting loss. John now writes for several national magazines, both print and Web-based. He is also a commentator for National Public Radio's afternoon newsmagazine, "All Things Considered," and Chicago's "NPR" affiliate, WBEZ.

The Place: A cousin's wedding in wine country led Holey Shit to the Bay Area this weekend, and I found myself wondering how San Francisco's
The Place: A cousin's wedding in wine country led Holey Shit to the Bay Area this weekend, and I found myself wondering how San Francisco's bagels stack up against those boiled in the Emerald City. Naturally, I sought advice from illustrious SF Weekly food critic Jonathan Kauffman.
With the obligatory "not as good as New York" caveat that dogs all West Coast bagel-makers, he pointed my bagel-eating companion and I to House of Bagels, 5030 Geary, 415-752-6000, SAN FRANCISCO.
The Hole: At the recommendation of the man behind the counter: an onion bagel with jalapeno cream cheese and an asiago cheese bagel with garlic and herb schmear.
The Shit: Miraculously, I landed a parking spot right in front of House of Bagels' mural-covered facade. For a few minutes, we sat in the car just inhaling the smell.
Inside the cluttered front room were shelves of knishes and other baked delicacies that are difficult to find here in Seattle. Filing the space behind the register were a dozen or so types of bagels.
Paralyzed by indecision, I asked the cashier for his favorites, which led to those savory selections.
The sign listing the cream-cheese options declared them all homemade and low-fat. That made me nervous. Some food items just ought not be made in a diet-friendly form, and schmear is one of them. But we went with the recommendations and I skeptically bit into my onion bagel.
Like many places, House of Bagels overdoes it on the cream cheese, apparently trying to make sure you get your money's worth. But in this case, I didn't really care. My first thought was that the sign must have been lying; the schmear couldn't possibly be low-fat. It was just too creamy and delicious.
The bagels were a little overpowered by the cream cheese, so whether or not they were better than our options up here, it's hard to say. That said, the schmear alone might be worth a trip to House of Bagels the next time you find yourself headed to a cousin's wedding in wine country.

I'm not over my boyfriends yet (check here and here for others), and I'll NEVER get over my boots!!! But I'm sure the day will come when the BFs will grow tiresome. This always happens, no? From old favorites to the thrift pile…this is my life! But until then, I'm going to enjoy them…BFs and boots that is!
And SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…
that I was doing a photoshoot with the door wide open in the middle of winter and about a billion dollars in heat was pouring out of that gaping hole to the outside…it's an old Alberta (cheap gas) habit I guess!

Love boyfriends. I know jean styles have changed. I have a pair of jeans I found on the beach at Lake Michigan, where I grew up, from the 70's. They are men's jeans of course they didn't make lady jeans back then. Then I kept a pair from the 80's, never liked acid wash, but I have some of the peg legs back in my closet. High waist. Don't really like them that much but kept a pair just in case. I also found a pair on Etsy of jeans fromt the 50's. Side zip, very nice. too small right now but when I get down to that size will take a pic. I have a couple of clouses from the 50's to wear with them, with some old boots will be cute. Very nicely made. I think boyfriend jeans kind of encompass all those styles. I wear mostly jeans these days. I will be really sorry when they are out of fashion again.
This looks so comfortable & chic on you.
And ha… sometimes a girl has to do what she has to do to get that perfect photo shoot setting right ; ) My lips are sealed.
I love the boots and the necklace and the jeans, and well you always look so put – together!
Thatta Girl Suzie, Throw open the windows too. There is lots and lots of oil and gas coming down the pipe. You make this Alberta oil patch gal so proud.

I made these to send to my mom, who loves all things ginger. I kept half the recipe since they were delciously buttery and flaky as short bread ought to be, but with fun depth of flavor from the ginger and almond. My only adjustments were adding in crystalized ginger for added chewy texture, and pressing the dough into a sqaure baking dish as my mom used to. (I don't have a rolling pin anyway.) Once cut into bars, they traveled great, of course they looked more casual, but were equally delectible. She raved too. Thanks!
Very good cookie...not too sweet! I also added chopped crystalized ginger for a little more spice. Thanks for the great recipe!
I love this recipe. The cookie is beautiful looking and a wonderful shortbread. The only thing I would do differently is double the ginger and the extract. I used Penzey's ginger which is a strong ginger and pure almond extract and both did not have a very strong taste in the cookie. Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe.

NEW YORK — In what could be the start of one of the most intriguing second acts in American politics, Anthony Weiner, the congressman who tweeted himself out of a job two years ago with a photo of his bulging underpants, is considering jumping into the New York City mayoral race.
The Brooklyn Democrat said in a New York Times Magazine story posted online Wednesday that he realizes he would be an underdog, but he wants to "ask people to give me a second chance."
"I do recognize, to some degree, it's now or maybe never for me," Weiner, 48, said in a highly personal profile that he clearly hoped would be the start of his rehabilitation.
But are voters ready to forgive?
Political analysts say Weiner would face a steep climb to get past his past, but his political skills, his rich reserve of campaign money and the dynamics of a crowded Democratic primary could make him a player, if not a clear winner, in the contest this fall to succeed Michael Bloomberg.
"He'd be a real candidate," said Maurice "Mickey" Carroll, the director of Quinnipiac University's polling institute. "His pluses are known. His minuses are known."
Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, said they sought the magazine interview to show voters he is a changed man: He entered therapy and has spent most of his time as caregiver to the couple's 13-month-old son, Jordan. Abedin told the Times she struggled to forgive her husband.

We are going with frozen donor egg rather than fresh as it was faster.
We went through 5 IVF cycles starting Feb 2012 , the most recent early Jan 2013, all BFN due to my poor eggs....I. Am. Old.
With the first 2 we did 2day transfers, the 3rd was converted to IUI due to only 2 good follicles. The 4th was a 2day transfer. With the 5th we were going to go to 5 day blasts so we could do genetic testing but all 4 embies fizzled out between day 4-5. I am 43, DH is 56. We have a 9 1/2 yr old DS who was created the "old fashioned" way.
DE has given us a whole new hopeful outlook, esp after reading some of the positive posts!

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is one of the seventeen campuses of The University of North Carolina, the birthplace of public higher education in America. Administered by President Thomas W. Ross and overseen by The UNC Board of Governors, each campus is headed by its own chancellor and Board of Trustees.
Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr. was elected Chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) by the Board of Governors of the 17-campus University of North Carolina on May 22, 2015. Gilliam assumed his duties as Chancellor on September 8.
In recommending Gilliam to the Board of Governors, Ross said: "In a stellar career that spans three decades, Frank Gilliam has distinguished himself as a faculty member, researcher and top-notch administrator. He has taught and held senior leadership positions at one of our nation's best known and most respected public universities. And at each step along the way, he has proven himself to be an engaged and effective leader who promotes openness and collaboration, strategic thinking and creative problem-solving, and a real-life commitment to academic excellence and community partnership. UNC Greensboro is fortunate to gain a leader with this wealth of talent, passion and commitment."
Dr. Gilliam was appointed Dean of the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs in September 2008, and was a longtime UCLA Professor of Public Policy and Political Science. His research focused on strategic communications, public policy, electoral politics, and racial and ethnic politics.

Revenge of the basketball hoop
Now this is a killer hoop!
Now this is a killer hoop!
The little girl who rapped Superbass on youtube that went viral got the surprise of her life on Ellen DeGeneres' Show. Watch the performance by little Sophia Grace below and the surprise segment after...
Wow… even I can't memorize the lyrics.
The cat picked a bad spot in trying to get a well rested day!
So cute looking at this image of the girl and camel laughing together!
even if you're the President of the USA!
The youtube title says that this is Dr Dre but others have debunked this claim because this show was in the mid-80s, when Dre was in his teens. Anyway, still funny to watch.
When these kids all grown up and they're not together, it will be weird that their first kiss has been viewed 2.9 million times so far.
A really nice and touching clip from Chrome…. gawd I miss my kids after watching this.
Check out this photoshopped picture of children playing in the muddy waters… it turned the little girl into a ruthless killer!

Rep. "Jimmy" Duncan shown here, high on stupid pills. Seems there's a Tennessee congressman who is on the fence about whether to vote to renew
Rep. "Jimmy" Duncan shown here, high on stupid pills.Seems there's a Tennessee congressman who is on the fence about whether to vote to renew the Violence Against Women Act. John "Jimmy" Duncan Jr. says the bill sure has a nice name, or as he put it, a real "mother-and-apple-pie-title."
Duncan, who voted for reauthorization of the act in 2005, is worried about the $600 million price tag to implement the measure, which also provides new protections for homosexuals and undocumented immigrant victims of domestic violence. (The Senate passed the bill last week by a resounding 78-22.)
Mind you, Duncan is very concerned about the issue of violence against women. He doesn't like it one bit -- and here's why? ...
"Like most men, I'm more opposed to violence against women than even violence against men," The Knoxville lawmaker said, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
"Because most men can handle it a little better than a lot of women can."
That's right, men are able to take a a vicious slap to the head, or a punch to the gut, or even a bullet, well, "a little better than a lot of women can."
House Speaker John Boehner said he expects the lower chamber to act soon, though no decision has been made over whether to take up the Senate bill or if the House will introduce its own version of the legislation.
"Our leadership [is] continuing to work with the committee of jurisdiction, looking at finding ways to deal with this legislation," Boehner said at a press conference last week. "We're fully committed to doing everything we can to protect women in our society, and I expect that the House will act in a timely fashion in some way."
No matter what happens, all women should be comforted that Rep. Duncan hates violence against women even more than he hates violence against men.
As one of commenter wrote on Huffington Post, "Speaking as a man, I too would like the opportunity to experience as little violence as possible, thanks."
You've really got to cut back on the stupid pills, Mr. Duncan.

Homecoming couldn't come at a better time for the FAMU Rattlers. Even in the midst of their current 4-game losing streak, Homecoming can bring a smile to anyone's face... and at FAMU they do it right, it's not about the beers, it's about the peers, and the sense of family....
That is something that the current Rattlers could use these days.
Something else that they can use is a win over North Carolina A and T.
That is very realistic considering the Aggies are 0-7 in the conference and have yet to get a win all year.
Sounds like the perfect setting to get rid of that losing feeling.
"We understand what they're feeling, all of the emotions involved with that, being in this type of situation, and working to continue to build, and develop those relationships to me, which is really critical, and we're doing that," says FAMU head coach Rubin Carter.

This is a guest post written by the owner of HowMuchIsIt.org,a website that is designed to help you find the cost of just about anything.
You might ask, how much do you really need to spend for nursing home insurance? Will you be able to afford it? What are the terms and conditions you need to consider?
Of course, we have to prepare for old age. Or sometimes, we have aging parents or relatives who need our help. Life is unpredictable after alland we cannot really say that we can remain as financially stable as we are now10 to 20 years from now.
The average costs of nursing home insurance:
Today, the average cost of a nursing home facility is around $70,000-$100,000 every year. Computed daily, these costs around $192 per day.The amount of course varies depending on the area.
Nursing home care insurance is actually a type of healthcare insurance which includes nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living facility, custodial care, or in-home care costs for persons who are 65 years old and above. Usually, Medicare, disability insurance, and traditional medical insurance plans do not include other kinds of long term care.
If a person qualifies for long term care, he or she will be arecipient of a benefit which ranges from $100-$500 daily. This would depend ofcourse on the type of coverage chosen. As long as the person is able to pay the insurance premium, the coverage is guaranteed. Long term care insurance can really help people. If you don't have one, you will be obliged to pay for the nursing home and other expenses which can be really very expensive.
This type of insurance would cost $1,000-$3,000 a year in long term care premiums for a 65 year old person. Though expensive, it is more affordable compared to the $70,000-$100,000 annual cost of long term care. However, the earlier a person pays for the insurance premiums, the less expensive it is. Of course, there are a lot of factors to be considered such as coverage, inflation protection, benefits, etc. Today, new government policies and tax benefits are being crafted to help long term care insurance more affordable to people.
So if you want to prepare for your future or your loved ones' welfare, it's best to start early. The cost may be a bit expensive but you are guaranteed to get the value worth your money.

When we were in the produce isle at the grocery today I saw fresh corn on a cob. Where the heck is corn growing right now? JP said maybe in Chile. Lily was very excited, she loves corn on the cob!
A couple days before Easter I was in the grocery store with Lily. When we walked past the floral section she noticed this Easter Lily. She had learned how to read the word Easter the night before when we were doing her homework. She looked at it and said "That plant has the same name as me and its spelled right!". I was so proud! Surprisingly lots of people spell her name wrong. A lot of the time it is Lillie, Lilly, or Lilee … it makes no sense to me. When we bought this it was just a plant and over the past week it has bloomed four beautiful flowers with three more to come.

Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall broke Terrell Owens' NFL record for receptions in a game with 21.
Marshall set the record Sunday on Denver's final offensive play of a 28-16 loss to Indianapolis. He gained 7 yards on a fourth-down play before lateraling to lineman Chris Kuper for 7 more yards.
Marshall finished with 21 catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns.
Earlier, he tied the mark on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Orton in the fourth quarter.
Owens caught 20 passes for San Francisco on Dec. 17, 2000.
Marshall also surpassed his team record of 18 catches, set on Sept. 14, 2008 against San Diego.

Charizard by BlueBandanaJakeWatch

Continuing with my Pokemon Animation Challenge (which I may or may not be doing ):
Here is Charizard! And he may or may not like that cologne you're wearing today! XP
Here is Charizard! And he may or may not like that cologne you're wearing today! XP
Uhh... hi...? Please don't burn me! >~<
Yikes! Best idea not to cross me Charizard! I don't know what you're thinking, but if its a fight you want, it's a fight you get, but know this: I NEVER need a Pokémon to fight!
more animations of charizard sniffing
my meat does'nt taste good when raw, imma grill somebody
do you have an animation of lucario?
Charizard: (sniff sniff) It stinks. BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!! XD
lol nice made
That's so awesome!
Charizard is my favorite. These are great!! Very smooth, clever animations.
Thanks! Yeah Im definitely trying to keep it interesting with each one, and smoothness is something I strive for each time as well. Thanks again
I love Charizard, and this is fantastic. Do you animate with Flash?
Thank you! I actually do my animations in a program called Toon Boom Studio, I usually just output them as flash files because they're easiest to upload to places. Its a very good program for standard 2D animation, I learned it in college and would recommend it to anyone
Oh wow, sounds great. Is it as complex as Flash is when it comes to coding/animating or is it fairly straight-forward? I might look into getting it if it's a little simpler, because Flash just boggles my brain too much.
Oh its much simpler than Flash, there's no coding or anything because it's strictly for animation (since Flash can be used for other things)
Very good, very streamlined experience, you should definitely give it a shot.
Very good, very streamlined experience, you should definitely give it a shot.
Oh my gosh, I'm doing it right now! Is it a pay program, or are there free trials available?
I'm not wearing any cologne
well if charizard breaths fire on you, you wont burst into flames because cologne is highly flamable
Wow! Looks great!
Nice job!
This is fantazmic! 8D The animation is so smooth! : ) great job!
Wow, that is really good! Especially the flames that he exhales! His eye color is really cool too. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks alot!
Your welcome! This is just a suggestion, but you could make a Blitzle animation.XD
Right now Im workin on them in PokeDex order, but eventually I'll probably pick and choose others to do sooner, so I'll consider the suggestions
...heh, "pick and choose" get it? ehh??? XD
...heh, "pick and choose" get it? ehh??? XD
This is Charizard. He may or may not rage easily.

"With great power comes great responsibility," someone not real once said, and it's a lesson the three lead characters in the upcoming indie Chronicle are learning the hard way.
Not based on any comic book whatsoever, Chronicle follows three Pacific Northwest high school students — Dane DeHaan (Amigo), Michael B. Jordan (The Wire, Red Tails) and Alex Russell (The Wheeler Boys) — who make a discovery that grants them superpowers. As they learn how to control them, they also learn that a dark side comes with uncanny abilities.
Shot in a "found footage" style (think Paranormal Activity), the first trailer for Chronicle has just been released, along with a new teaser poster.
Written by Max Landis (son of An American Werewolf in London director John Landis) and directed by first-time director Josh Trank. Twentieth Century Fox will release Chronicle on Feb. 3.

You never know where he's going to pop up next!
Gman, Ronald Regan's creepy cousin.
Riiiiise and shine, Doctor Freeeeman
in gmans suit case actully has a gun and three pencils. im not lying
It would be awesome if he was in MY closet. 'Caus he could open the door and stand so he matched up with the position of the poster of him on the closet door, and I'd probably not notice the difference (and if I did I could steal his suitcase and see if anything's been added since half life 1 )
I love the inexplicable panties in the closet, not to mention that mag that has what appears to be a picture of Kleiner in a thong.
Rise and shine Mr. Freeman
He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake...
he looks like james woods
When Chuck Norris goes to sleep he checks his closet for the Gman.-
Gman waits...
He waits 'till you're asleep.
Then he "hires" you... A fate worse than death...

I had fun with my camera today at school. I love how my campus is so beautiful. There are so many trees and nice backgrounds to choose from. It's too bad that I've only taken advantage of it recently. Before, I never really had that much time and my school outfits are usually more laid back and easy to move in. I like how these photos turned out. I hope you do too :)

One Month n Eleven Days
View MISSEDIVA's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from MISSEDIVA
Friday, December 30, 2011
One month and eleven days ago, I began my newest (and current) fitness challenge. The main part of this challenge is weight loss but it incorporates some other things as well.
One point of the challenge is choosing the healthiest food options possible. That means fresh is the best and basically fast food should be last resort, if at all. This morning I had a modest fast food breakfast to include a chicken biscuit and OJ. An hour later my body began to reject it and I found myself running down the hall at work to the restroom with a napkin to my mouth. This is bad and good. It's bad because when I'm running late, I have to figure out how to get a quick bite in the morning; plus I love the taste of the foods.
It's good though because that means my body is responding like it should when I put something that's not healthy into it.
The other point of the challenge is to love myself/put myself first. I won't lie; I think this is the most difficult part for me personally. I'm used to doing everything for other people and if I don't have time for me, then so be it. Ever so often I take a "diva day" but it's not the same as consistently taking time for Erika. I understand what I'm SUPPOSED to do but to just transition into it is definitely a challenge. I still put the stuff that I'm doing for others before my personal tasks on my to do list. I have to continue to work on fitting my tasks into my days. That includes working out, getting more sleep and preparing my meals.
Last but not least, I am pressing forward and trying to keep it together (by smiling AND by not binge eating) during this time when I feel like crap emotionally. So I guess that whole "loving myself" thing is working a bit in this arena.
Have a happy new year (just in case I don't post again) and continue to move forward, climb higher and achieve more next year!

More About Orphan Train by Christina Baker KlineOverview

Between 1854 and 1929, so-called orphan trains ran regularly from the cities of the East Coast to the farmlands of the Midwest, carrying thousands of abandoned children whose fates would be determined by pure luck. Would they be adopted by a kind and loving family, or would they face a childhood and adolescence of hard labor and servitude?
As a young Irish immigrant, Vivian Daly was one such child, sent by rail from New York City to an uncertain future a world away. Returning east later in life, Vivian leads a quiet, peaceful existence on the coast of Maine, the memories of her upbringing rendered a hazy blur. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past.
Seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer knows that a community-service position helping an elderly widow clean out her attic is the only thing keeping her out of juvenile hall. But as Molly helps Vivian sort through her keepsakes and possessions, she discovers that she and Vivian aren't as different as they appear. A Penobscot Indian who has spent her youth in and out of foster homes, Molly is also an outsider being raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the past.
Moving between contemporary Maine and Depression-era Minnesota, Orphan Train is a powerful tale of upheaval and resilience, second chances, and unexpected friendship.

Kline's absorbing new novel (after Bird in the Hand) is a heartfelt page-turner about two women finding a sense of home. Seventeen-year-old Penobscot Indian Molly Ayer has spent most of her life in foster care. When she's caught stealing a copy of Jane Eyre from the library, in an effort to keep the peace with her stressed foster parents, she ends up cleaning out elderly Vivian Daly's attic. Molly learns that Vivian was herself an orphan, an Irish immigrant in New York who was put on the Orphan Train in the late 1920s and tossed from home to home in Minnesota. The growing connection leads Molly to dig deeper into Vivian's life, which allows Molly to discover her own potential and helps Vivian rediscover someone she believed had been lost to her forever. Chapters alternate between Vivian's struggle to find a safe home, both physically and emotionally, in early 20th-century Minnesota, and Molly's similar struggle in modern-day Maine. Kline lets us live the characters' experiences vividly through their skin, and even the use of present tense, which could distract, feels suited to this tale. The growth from instinct to conscious understanding to partnership between the two is the foundation for a moving tale. Agent: Beth Vesel, the Beth Vesel Literary Agency. (Apr. 2)

Former Columbus High School star Bill Russell spent most of his basketball career as "the other Bill Russell."
Playing around the same time as the Boston Celtics legend and NBA Hall of Famer had its advantages and disadvantages.
"It seems most of my career, maybe most of my life, there's been another guy named Bill Russell," Columbus' Russell said in his speech before a crowd of about 1,000 at Primo Banquet Hall in Indianapolis. "I thought, perhaps, I could have been nicknamed Oscar or Wilt or something like that."
Wednesday night, the local Bill Russell became a Hall of Famer himself. He was one of 13 athletes, including former Jennings County star Billy Harmon, who were inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.
"Being part of the history of Indiana basketball is very humbling," Russell said. "I'm honored and proud to not only represent the thousands of past basketball players, but also the city of Columbus for its great heritage of basketball, terrific players and wonderful fans. For those people, I'm proud to receive this recognition.
"Like all teams and players, there are few that receive recognition and many, many more which are very deserving," he said. "This is a magical moment for us as a team, as a group, as a school and as a community."
The first freshman to start under legendary coach Bill Stearman, Russell still holds the Columbus/Columbus North scoring record with 1,272 points. He earned Indiana All-Star honors after leading the Bull Dogs to a 25-1 record and a regional championship in 1963.
"Fifty-one years ago seems like yesterday playing for Hall of Fame coach Bill Stearman, finishing up an undefeated season ranked No. 1 in the state for most of the year and playing in front of standing-room-only crowds and enjoying the greatest times of Indiana basketball history," Russell said.
Russell went on to letter three years at Indiana University and was regarded as one of the best defensive players in the Big Ten. He helped lead the Hoosiers to the 1967 Big Ten championship.
"I was lucky. I played for two Hall of Fame coaches, had some success at the high school level and college level, married my high school sweetheart," Russell said. "She remains my MVP and captain of my team after 47 years."
"I'm so proud," Nan Russell said. "I'm so honored to be here for him. It's amazing all the people that I've talked to tonight that were here for the celebration. It's a great honor."
One of those people there for the celebration was former Columbus teammate Tom McKinney. McKinney, who was a longtime coach at Bloomington North and led the Cougars to the final one-class state title in 1997, was a freshman at Columbus when Russell was a senior.
"Everybody wanted to be Bill Russell," McKinney said. "He was a good person and an awfully good player."
The same could be said of Harmon, who averaged more than 25 points a game as a senior and finished with 1,537 career points and 1,001 career rebounds. Jennings County averaged a state-record 92.9 points a game his junior year in 1971-72 behind Harmon and current Columbus East girls coach Danny Brown.
"I played with him for four years, and that's why we scored all those points. That's also why I got all those rebounds," Harmon joked.
Harmon and Brown went on to play four years at Louisville, helping the Cardinals to the Final Four in 1975. Their coach at Louisville, Denny Crum, and teammate Junior Bridgeman were on hand Wednesday.
"He was a great young man and a tough, hard-nosed competitor on the basketball court," Crum said. "He and Danny Brown both came down and played for me, and we had some pretty good years, and they were a big part of it. He was one of those guys that loved to come to practice, and when you were going play against him, you better buckle up because he played as hard as anybody I've ever coached.
"He did it all," he said. "He was a tough, hard-nosed guy that you knew darn well if he was in there, he was going to be giving it his all. He was one of those great competitors, and he's a heck of a golfer now."
Harmon, Russell and their fellow inductees began the celebration Wednesday with a luncheon at the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle.
"It's a wonderful night, and it's been a great day," Russell said. "I was impressed with the reception and the memorabilia they have. I got to meet the other inductees, as well as the fans of basketball."
"It's been very exciting all day," Harmon said. "I'm sort of overwhelmed trying to take it all in with all the people and families. It's been great."
Both players felt honored to be inducted into the Hall.
"It's the epitome of basketball," Harmon said. "What else could you ask for? It's been great for me to go in tonight."
"It's pretty special," Russell said. "Indiana is known throughout the U.S. for producing the best basketball players. Coaches from everywhere, every program, come and try to recruit heavy in Indiana, and if they succeed and get a lot of Hoosier basketball players, they know they're going to have an awfully good team. It's neat to be included in such a nostalgic, exclusive group. It puts maybe a punctuation mark on 51 years ago playing high school basketball."

"This is a great technology for law enforcement as well as emergency management," said Dyersburg Emergency Operations Manager Mark Grant.
According to FEMA's website, IPAWS is designed to improve public safety through the rapid dissemination of emergency messages to as many people as possible over as many communication devices as possible. To do so IPAWS is using smart phones, tablets and other web-connected devices to inform as many residents as possible.
In order to take full advantage of the technology Dyer County has already requested to be one of the first counties in Tennessee to be capable of transmitting local alerts.
"We can only issue alerts if there is the threat of eminent danger," said Dyer County Fire Chief James Medling during the E911 Board meeting on Tuesday.
Under IPAWS an alert is sent to your wireless device depending on your geographic location. For example, if a Dyer County resident visits Washington, D.C. they would receive applicable Washington, D.C. alerts. The alerts are sent to a targeted geographic location and there are three types of alerts:
* Presidential
* Imminent Danger
* Amber
Users can opt out of receiving imminent danger and amber alerts by adjusting the settings on their wireless device but they cannot opt out of presidential alerts. The following is a list provided by FEMA of devices that are capable of receiving wireless emergency alerts:
* Droid 2 Global by Motorola
* Droid Pro by Motorola
* Droid X2 by Motorola
* Motorola Citrus
* LG Cosmos 2
* LG Revere
* LG Enlighten
Grant reported to the E911 Board on Tuesday that residents could begin to receive the alerts as soon as April. He reassures the board and the community that there is no fee for this service.

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala.
-- Next week, Maxwell will observe National Fire Prevention Week. This year's theme, "Protect Your Family From Fire," focuses on what families can do to prevent fires in the home. The event allows fire departments across the U.S. to put an emphasis on fire prevention and safety.
The week also commemorates the Great Chicago Fire that occurred Oct. 9, 1871. During the fire more than 17,000 buildings burned, more than 250 people died, and 100,000 people were left homeless, said James Smith, assistant fire chief at Maxwell.
The Maxwell Fire Department has several events planned for the week, including displays at the Maxwell base exchange and Gunter commisary, fire safety presentations at Maxwell Elementary Middle School, youth centers and Hunt Housing Community Center, and a poster and essay contest at the school. The fire department will host an open house at each of its fire stations at Maxwell and Gunter all week long, said Smith.
Every 90 seconds, a house fire is reported in the U.S., and an average of seven people die every day in home fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Learning how to prevent fires can reduce these totals, Smith said.
"The most critical part of fire safety is learning how to make our homes and workplaces safer," Smith said. "By developing safe habits, recognizing potentially hazardous conditions or situations and being proactive to eliminate these conditions, we can reduce the number of fires, injuries and deaths that occur."
A large, critical component of the week is the education of school-aged children about fire safety and prevention.
"Fire safety education should start at an early age," said Smith. "That is one of the reasons we spend a lot of time visiting and talking with young children. If they learn safe habits at a young age, they will carry those good habits with them throughout their lives."
Smith also offered some basic tips for keeping your family safe.
"Everyone should have a comprehensive fire safety plan in their home that includes the use of smoke alarms and a home fire escape plan," he said. "Never leave cooking unattended. If you must leave the kitchen, turn off the stove. Test smoke alarms monthly. If you have a battery operated smoke alarm, change the battery when you change the time on your clocks."
Smith also encouraged care when using candles. "Candles should not be used as a source of light during power outages; use a flashlight," he said. "Ensure candles are placed on a noncombustible surface."
While the community benefits from the education offered by the fire departments, the firefighters are also excited to get involved.
"Fire Prevention Week gives everyone in the Maxwell Fire Department the opportunity to get involved in a very important event and do their part in preventing fires in our community," Smith said.
Fire safety and prevention is important all year round, he said, not just next week.
"Develop safe habits, follow some basic fire safety tips every day, and look out for each other," Smith said. "Fire safety is not any one individual's responsibility - it is everyone's."

Another thread got me thinking... I wanted to quote another Time magazine reference here, just to sort of talk it out with somebody. I choked up when I read a line from one of the intro paragraphs. How blessed I really, really am.
(Not trying to make anybody feel badly, I promise. You can be "wealthy" compared to others and still have legitimate struggles. I just thought this was an unbelievable fact.)
The Case for Optimism by Bill Clinton, Time Magazine
There are three big challenges with our interdependent world: inequality, instability and unsustainability. The fact that half the world's people live on less than $2 a day and a billion people on less than $1 a day is stark evidence of inequality, which is increasing in many places. We're feeling the effects of instability not only in the global economic slowdown but also in the violence, popular disruptions and political conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere. And the way we produce and use energy is unsustainable, changing our climate in ways that cast a shadow over our children's future.

Youngsters Swarm Barbour County WMA Youth HuntPublished 10:43am Monday, February 11, 2013
The eye contact with the frantic gray squirrel seemed frozen in time.
The squirrel had been knocked from his perch in a scaly bark hickory by one of the youths participating in the 16th annual Barbour County WMA Youth Hunt last weekend.
The bushy-tailed critter was looking for cover when he latched onto the side of a lay-down, a tree that had succumbed to some wind storm in the not-too-distant past.
Armed with only a camera and dressed in a camouflage shirt, I stood on the opposite side of the log, well within leaping distance.
That moment of eye contact led to a flood of possibilities in my brain as Ray Stevens cranked up "Mississippi Squirrel Revival" in the background. Option 1: The squirrel is going to mistake my camouflage for an escape route in a scene reminiscent of "A Christmas Vacation."
Alas, I caught a break and the squirrel took Option 2 and scurried under the log and into a hole that was at the base of the uprooted tree.
Mike Smith, whose Feist dog "Freeway" led the hunt, figured the hunt was over, but this group of about 20 youths and accompanying parents and hosts was persistent on a day when squirrels were scarce.
One person volunteered to don a glove and reach into the hole to find the squirrel, but his search came up empty-handed.
A second tried to no avail.
That's when Cody Lee, a long and lanky teenager, reached his gloved hand into the hole. Seconds later, he slung glove, squirrel and a handful of leaves out into the middle of the group that crowded around the root ball.
"The squirrel was hanging on the ceiling of the hole," Lee said. "When I touched him, he grabbed my arm, so I had to come out of there with him."
The youngsters celebrated success as the adults in the crowd shook their heads laughingly at such a spectacle in the middle of one of Alabama's most popular Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs).
The Eufaula Lions Club, Barbour County Coon Hunters Association and Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division are the major sponsors of the youth hunt, which attracts youngsters and parents from mainly east Alabama, although some participants hail from other parts of the state.
The youth hunt idea was hatched when Mike Heath and Richard Reed, game wardens at the time, starting trying to find a way to get the younger generation involved in the outdoors.
They recruited Roger and Pat Kott from Eufaula and the event quickly went from a handful of kids to a huge production that requires a concerted effort from the community in terms of volunteers and donations.
"We started with 17 kids," Pat said. "We try to go deeper into different events and different venues each year, and it's just blossomed from there. We'll normally have between 250-300 kids now. The kids love it and can hardly wait to get here. It's just wonderful."
Reed said the youth hunt team has had to adjust the activities through the years, especially after an incident during the coon hunt the second year.
"We had the coon hunt and we had kids jumping into the creek with the coon and dogs," Reed said. "So we had to alter that a little bit. We stage it a little bit for safety purposes."
Reed said before he retired in 2007, he could see a decrease in the number of hunting licenses sold, which caused him great concern.
"When we saw those numbers slipping, we decided we needed to do something to get the kids involved again," he said. "We'll have 250-300 kids unless the weather is really bad. And the community is really behind it."
Grady Hartzog, a Eufaula businessman and member of the Alabama Conservation Advisory Board, joined Deputy Conservation Commissioner Curtis Jones and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) Director Chuck Sykes to witness the celebration of the outdoors lifestyle.
"I always believe that if we don't have the kids coming to support conservation, we're not doing our jobs," Hartzog said. "The more we can do for the kids, the better off we are."
Sykes, who became WFF director just two months ago, is encouraged by what he saw at the Barbour County WMA.
"If you don't get the kids engaged, get them out from in front of a TV or video game and into the woods, we're going to lose our connection to the outdoors," Sykes said.
Jones said he was impressed by how well the community supports the event each year with the encouragement of the Eufaula Lions Club and the Kott family.
"There is a ton of volunteers," Jones said. "I'm just really grateful that this many people get involved to get the youth into the outdoors."
Heath said there are enough volunteers that parents aren't required to stay for the event.
"The parents can drop their kids off and we'll take care of them until 9 o'clock that night until we're completely done," Heath said. "We have a great time. We've had some kids come back every year, and it's great to see these kids grow up in the outdoors."

Ok, so as not to entirely highjack the other thread, I will finally start the official OW thread.
I know there were a few others that posted on that other thread, so if somebody else wants to chime in too, that will be fine.
So you are judging the wife because she wanted her marriage to work after YOU fucked it up
what kind of fuckery is this?
DS Dr Danger-6/09
You mentioned before that your BF came by your house before going to work today...where were your kids? That's extremely brazen to have him come to your house - the place you share with your DH and kids. Do you WANT to get caught?
I'll slow clap ya, OP. One crazy-ass story at a time. shortgirl1313
Edit to fix typo.... Fuck it auto correct hates me!
Follow me to the nicest place on babycenter ----> BHB
Racism is dirty business!
what kind of fuckery is this?
DS Dr Danger-6/09
So what's the back story on him being caught before? Was he caught with you or with someone else? and is he a serial cheater?
Not with me. He was married 20+ years before he cheated the first time. Obviously something is still missing in his marriage.
Why are you only answering the questions you like?
"Jesus Christ on a Pop Tart. Facts are your friend!" - katoannie
Alice's Adventures in Datingland Aliceissingle.blogspot.com
"Myabe your husband stopped sleeping with you, because he doesn't want to catch anything."
I'm wondering this. She never answered my question as to whether she has ever tested positive for any STDs.
My biggest fear is that my DH would cheat on me and bring me back something life threatening. HIV, or HPV that turns to cervical cancer.
I want the name of these websites your using to met these married men.
I think lots of women on here would be surprise the amount of married people on these websites. I bet you if you just looked at a few of them you would find someone you know on it. Men generally will list all their real information (height, age, eye color, zip code)and picture on these sites because they think their wives will never go look.
So you say you don't care if he cheated but yet you check his underwear when he comes home? On 1/5/12 you posted that. He can't cheat but YOU can. You have some SEVERE mental illness.
Right. I do check. I don't care if he does, I just want to know.

7. Shoot From The Car. I shoot a lot of travel photography in some remote locations. I often spend hours, sometimes days, riding in vans and buses to get to the location. Even more frustrating than the long rides are some of the stunning images I watch pass by. Before better ISO/sensor performance, I'd miss these shots, but not anymore. I frequently shoot from the van window on road trips. In Mongolia last summer, we spent many hours in vans driving to different parts of the country. Not wanting to miss a shot, I dialed my ISO up to 800 and got some classic images of a lone horseman riding across the rolling green hills—images I would have missed in the past.
Dealing With NoiseEvery camera (and sensor) performs differently in handling noise. Some cameras may have noise at ISO 400, while others don't produce much noise until ISO 3200. Remember, it's better to get the shot and deal with noise later than not get the shot at all. How do you reduce noise after the shot? Both Lightroom and Photoshop (and other popular imaging applications) now have tools to deal with noise.
In Lightroom, select your image and go to the Develop module. Scroll down on the right side and click on the Detail tab to list the options here. Below the Sharpening tool are the noise-reduction sliders. Choose which type of noise you need to reduce, and drag that slider to the right. I normally find I need to reduce luminance noise, so I pull the Luminance slider way to the right. Make sure you're viewing your image at 100% on a high-noise area so you can see the effects. Reducing noise will soften the image, so I normally add a little sharpening after reducing noise.
In Photoshop CS4, go to the Camera Raw window and select the Detail icon (two triangles). Make sure to enlarge your image to 100% to see your progress. As in Lightroom, use either the Luminance or Color Noise slider to reduce the type of noise you have in your image.
For more control and impressive results, try a third-party plug-in to deal with noise. Most of these companies offer a free trial of their software so you can choose the one that works best for you. A few popular ones are Noise Ninja (www.picturecode.com), Noiseware Professional (www.imagenomic.com) and Dfine 2 (www.niksoftware.com).
The next time you find yourself in low light, don't put your camera away. Just use the ISO Advantage and get the shot.
