I'm back in NYC after the non-stop party that was the Brighton Tattoo Convention. With the miserable winter weather, one would think I'd spend my vacation days flying south to Caribbean beaches and not the cold English seaside, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to spend my birthday with friends who were traveling from around the world to be a part of this show. I most definitely made the right choice.
The convention took place at the Hilton Brighton Metropole Hotel, located directly on the seafront in the center of the city. It was a massive labyrinth of booths throughout the hotel's convention center, with over 350 artists from over 16 countries working.
You turn one corner and there was the traditional
tattooing platform, with Copenhagen's Colin Dale hand poking Nordic
dragons while, next to him, Brent McCown was tapping Polynesian tatau.
In sharp contrast, down the aisle, rap music blared from the booth that housed Norm, Big Sleeps, & Big Meas doing their sought-after script. Crowds also formed around other big names from the US such as Thomas Hooper, Bugs, Bong, and BJ Betts, among many others.

UK legends George Bone, Lal Hardy, and Alex Binnie drew
plenty of fans as well. [As a side note: Alex had a gathering on Thursday night before
the show for the release of Charles Boday's Handpoke Tattoo book, and it was great
to check out his Brighton shop, which has that same cool vibe as his
iconic London studio.]
One particular thing I found interesting in the lead-up to the show was that many artists -- who normally book their convention appointments months in advance -- were advertising that they would be doing almost all walk-ups, so lucky convention goers who got in early could get prized time without being on a waiting list. I wonder if they knew how lucky they really were.The tattoo competitions were limited to Best of Day entries with Guen Douglas winning Friday for a neo-traditional lady hand tattoo; Ryan Evans winning Saturday for his black and grey portrait of Marlane Dietrich; and Alex Gotza of Dirty Roses Tattoo in Greece winning Sunday for a full thigh gypsy tattoo (shown below).
As for me, I spent much of my time helping the convention organizer Woody manage the press, as there was a lot of interest in this eighth year of the show. But when I wasn't doing that, you'd most likely find me at the opulently decked out booth -- complete with gold drapery and Moroccan lanterns -- of tattoo witches Alicia Cardenas, Goldilox, Delphine Noiztoy, and Lorena Morato. Other stunners at that booth were model Moniasse, Frank Doody, and Drew Becket. [All of whom are shown in the pic below.] I shared a rented house with these beautiful people, kind of like a Real World Brighton, and ... I think I'll leave the exploits (and damaging photos) off this blog. Moving on ...
More seriously, there was also a lot of tattoo history shared at the show. Our friend Dr. Matt Lodder gave a wonderful talk on Sutherland MacDonald, "the first tattoo artist." And just outside his roundtable discussion, you could view the artifacts and archival photos from the famed Bristol Tattoo Club. I also particularly loved the fine art exhibition of Ramon Maiden (a post on him is coming soon).
Most of the hard partying took place at the Sailor Jerry cocktail lounge and by the main stage where crowds of psychobilly babes gathered on Friday to see The Meteors, who still can bring a mosh pit to action after 35 years (with an older shirtless crowd). Other bands through the weekend included The Sex Pistols Experience, as well as King Salami and the Cumberland 3.
Prettying up the Rockabilly set pre-concerts were barbers flown in from California, although lumberjack beards and skull caps dominated over pompadours. Really, I could barely recognize friends underneath all the hirsute hotness.
It's all these different offerings, in addition to top tattooing, that make a great convention. Most important to me, these gatherings are an opportunity to share love with friends from across the globe and reaffirm that we are one community of beautiful freaks. And that's better than any beach vacation.

One of the best presents I got this holiday was the Things & Ink "Stripped Back" issues of awesome, with three special covers featuring tattooers Flo Nuttall, Brian Wilson, and Delphine Noiztoy as well as Yann Brenyak. While the content is the same on the pages, it's worth collecting all three. How often do you see men on covers of tattoo magazines?
Once again, I cite Things & Ink as a way to present tattooed women, even nude, in ways that are sexy without being sleazy. For example, the El Wood shoot, an image from which is shown below, is gorgeous and elegant. El has modeled for many other tattoo magazines, and if you do a Google image search on her, you'll see differences in which her beauty is portrayed.
I'm also a huge fan of "The New Normal" spread, in which women, and a man, who normally don't fall under the "tattoo model" category as per today's industry standards, are photographed and art directed by Josh Brandao as "human curiosities" "to challenge what society deems as acceptable, to shatter the boundaries of attraction and redefine what we see as beautiful." Check the video preview below for a peak at those pages.
Things & Ink - The New Normal Promo from Josh Brandao on Vimeo.
Beyond the fashion, my favorite articles also included an intimate look into the home of Lianna Moule of Immortal Ink (with her husband Jason Butcher); the Q&A with tattooer Ashley Love of NY Adorned; and Amelia Klem Osterud and Carmen Forquer Nyssen offer another fantastic historical piece, this time on "Mr. & Mrs. Ted Hamilton," tattooed performers who worked for smaller circuses in the 1920s.
And so, once again, I highly recommend picking up the latest Things & Ink. You can grab it online here.
The possibilities of dotwork tattooing are incredibly exciting, and you can see just how far the stippling effect is taking artists' compositions to new levels. One artist who brings a unique perspective to this tattoo genre is Delphine Noiztoy, who owns the The Lacemakers Sweatshop, a Victorian and Steampunk-inspired tattoo studio in London.
Formerly of the renowned Divine Canvas studio and mentored under dotwork guru Xed Le Hed, Delphine has a particularly interesting portfolio: she doesn't just use the stippling effect for beautiful fluid ornamental tattoo designs, but she is able to use only dots to shape fantastic realism. She can also switch gears and rock some heavy blackwork tattooing.
While Delphine's home base is London's arty Hackney wick, she does frequent guest spots at shops around the world, including at one of my favorites: 2Spirit Tattoo in San Francisco.
Check more of Delphine's work on Facebook, and Instagram @delphine noiztoy. Delphine is also a featured artist in my latest book Black Tattoo Art 2.

Basically I'm trying to get a bit of regex to do the following... I have some data I need to split, the sample data looks like this:
Brand Name - Product Name
Another Brand - Shoe Laces
Heinz - Bakes Beans
I want to be able to select the brand name or the product name but I can't seem to do it without catching the " - " part in the regex. Anyone tell me what I'm missing out? My regex is pretty basic.
EDIT: I'm exporting a database to a spreadsheet, formatting it and importing it into a new system through a CSV. The old system used a brand name - product name method as above where as the new one uses two separate fields. Ideally I wanted to try and sneak some regex in the spreadsheet formula but now I think its going to be easier to just handle this with a script. Likely PHP although Javascript isn't ruled out.

Rock County has low income growth rate
Steve Benton
October 27, 2008
Director of Research for the alliance, Dale Knapp, says between 2003 and 2007, Rock County had an income growth rate of 2.2%, which places it among the ten slowest growing metro areas.
Knapp says the loss of good paying manufacturing jobs, including those at the General Motors plant in Janesville, is driving the number down. He says the news for the next few years won't get any better until those good jobs are replaced with something else.

A crow atop a STOP sign on The Grand Parade, Cork.
Shot using a fairly high ISO but bicubic resizing smudges the noise away!
A crow atop a STOP sign on The Grand Parade, Cork.
Shot using a fairly high ISO but bicubic resizing smudges the noise away!
The Berwick Fountain was originally built in 1860 but was taken down and removed while construction went on in the Grand Parade, Cork. Here it is almost ready, although I'd swear they moved it a few feet ..
Cross over the Grand Parade for the last time passing the Berwick Fountain (1860), which marked the centre point of a bridge crossing what was then a city canal, now arched over and filled in to form the Grand Parade. The fountain is named after Walter Berwick, one time Chairman of the Quarter Sessions and was designed by Sir John Benson.
Believe it or not this may have been a mooring post for boats in the 1700s. At the time the River Lee ran through the Grand Parade and boats were tied to this on the quayside. Now it's a busy street.
It is reputed that this post was a cannon used in the Siege of Cork in 1690. Up until last year it sat on the corner of the pavement but as you can see here the new surface flattened everything out.
It's been sitting there for as long as I remember, does anyone know anything more about it?
Colourful buildings on the Grand Parade look out onto the continuing construction on the street. Who knows when it'll end?
Santa came to Cork early this year, sort of. This metal work is from somewhere on the Grand Parade in Cork. It's designed by the firm of Santa & Cole, obviously, and seems to be a perfect place for people to throw their litter unfortunately.
Will the construction work in Cork ever end? They just finished digging up the end of Washington Street and Grande Parade when they dig up that busy corner again.
Not quite as bad as the ESB or Bord Gais running a trench through brand new tarmac and leaving a broken road surface behind.
This shot is from the Grand Parade where brickwork is being laid into the ground around the original fountain that was recently restored there. Pics of that to follow!
Cork City Library on the Grand Parade used to have railings in front for locking up your bike. Those railings disappeared a few months ago but people still leave their bikes there.
The library itself will soon be the subject of a major facelift as a developer expands it into a new block of retail units and apartments as well as library.

I don't "feel" like it it's twins but my and BD's family have joked around that because I'm so big I HAVE to be having two babies and I'm now getting a bit worried that In reality, it may be. I'm 16 weeks today but look like I'm 6 months already. Most people who don't know I'm 16 weeks ask me what I'm having and when I say that I don't find out till the 28th they say, "Oh wow, I thought they would have been able to tell by now." I have had an ultrasound and only one baby was seen and they've also only picked up one heartbeat on their doppler (after seaching for 5 mins) BUT I've heard stories of women going through the same thing and then at their Anatomy ultrasound they find out that SURPRISE! It's twins. If I were to be carrying twins I would be both happy to have been blessed with two babies but also terrified of what's to come down the road.

The hits just keep coming for the McKinney family.
In May, Paul and Tonia McKinney's 2-year-old daughter, Ryleigh, was diagnosed with a rare form of childhood liver cancer.
It has since spread to her lungs.
Then, two weeks ago, Paul lost his job when the company he worked for fired him for missing too much work to be at his ailing daughter's side while she underwent massive bouts of chemotherapy.

Residents along Hammonds Creek Road don't have much.
The stretch of county highway that connects Alton Station Road and Highway 44 doesn't have a general store, gas station or business of any kind.
But they do have each other, Fellowship Baptist Church and its adjoining cemetery where many of their loved ones are buried.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin Aug. 18 in the trial of a man suing his surgeon for amputating his penis allegedly without his consent.
Phillip Seaton, of Waddy, claims Dr. John Patterson did not have his permission to remove his penis during a circumcision procedure in 2007.
The case was moved up by one day on the calendar during a pretrial hearing last Wednesday before Shelby County Circuit Judge Charles Hickman, who asked for the earlier start date.
A lightning strike has temporarily disabled the telephone system at The Anderson News.
The strike apparently ocurred over the weekend.
At 9 a.m., AT&T was working on the problem.
The newspaper's website and e-mail were not affected by the strike, nor was its fax line (839-3118).
Until the phone system is restored, call 502-517-6279 for assistance.
To the editor:
I'm very disappointed in our county and find it hard to believe that there is a lack of legal recourse for abandoned properties like the one on Hammond Road.
Why do we even have the processes in place to condemn or issue orders to destroy a building because it is a fire hazard if there are no laws to enforce such orders?
Taxpayers will have to wait at least a few more days to find out if their county property tax rates will go up.
During its meeting Tuesday morning, the Anderson County Fiscal Court voted to table setting its tax rate for 2011-12 because of confusion over exactly how much revenue it would receive.
Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway said he had received tax rate details from Property Value Administrator Brian Stivers that came to one conclusion, and from the state's Department of Local Government that came to another.
The joy during Tuesday morning's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court was obvious as word spread like wildfire that the woman who unsuccessfully sued the county on sexual harassment allegations would not receive a new trial.
County Attorney Bobbi Jo Lewis interrupted the work session portion of the meeting by simply announcing: "Overruled."
Magistrates broke out in smiles at the news — news that had it gone the other way, could have proved very costly to taxpayers.
The owner of a crumbling house on Hammond Road has been warned and now has just 30 days to come up with a plan to address the problem before being hauled into District Court.
And he's not alone. The county's code enforcement officer, Doug Ingram, has also put on notice the owner of a burned out structure in Fox Creek on Highway 62, as he ratchets up the pressure to get both eyesores cleaned up.
Margaret "Geri" Murphy, aka Margaret Stafford, whose address on the indictment is listed as Floral City, Fla., is facing Class D felony charges for allegedly making false entries in a public record nine times between 2006 and 2010, according to documents on file in Anderson Circuit Court.
Murphy is scheduled to appear Tuesday, Sept. 6 in Anderson County Circuit Court in front of Judge Charles Hickman.

Proposal would change tour Q School, schedule
If a plan being proposed by PGA Tour executives is accepted by the players, the Qualifying School Tournament as we know it will disappear, and each new season could start in the fall.
At a mandatory players meeting on Tuesday night at Torrey Pines, Commissioner Tim Finchem presented a plan that would have the top 75 players from the Nationwide Tour and the top 75 golfers from the PGA Tour who didn't keep their cards competing in a three-tournament series. The top 50 after the series would earn a PGA Tour card for the following season.
The remaining players would go to Q School, but would only be able to earn a berth on the Triple-A tour, which will be called something different after this season because Nationwide's contract is up.
The tour is run by the players, so the 16-member Player Advisory Council would have to approve the changes. The PAC is scheduled to meet next month at the Northern Trust Open in Pacific Palisades and could decide on the proposal as early as March.
Among the possibilities is that the season would start in the fall with tournaments in Northern California, Las Vegas, Sea Island, Ga., Malaysia, Shanghai and Orlando, Fla. All of those events have been played after the FedEx Cup race.
"It looks like to me like they're wanting to have a non-calendar year, which means you've got to change Q School," San Diegan Phil Mickelson said. "You always have to have change to have growth."
The loss of Q School to get on the big tour, meantime, raises concerns for many players because their best path would be a full year on the Nationwide. That's far different from making it through, at most, three stages of Q School. Others argue that the Nationwide is the most legitimate proving ground.
Tour Vice President Ty Votaw declined to comment on the players' meeting or the proposal.
After the meeting, Dustin Johnson tweeted, "I don't like any of the ideas about changing the tour!!!"
Bubba Watson said he would like to see about five spots from Q School reserved for tour cards — there are 30 now — with the rest coming from the Nationwide.
Mickelson: fees are good
Mickelson was asked to offer his opinion on appearance fees. It's a hot topic with Tiger Woods absent and in Abu Dhabi because he's getting a hefty payday just for showing up.
"I certainly will consider it, absolutely," Mickelson said of being offered fees. "I think it's great for players like Tiger to go to Abu Dhabi and start to bring awareness to the game in the Middle East.
"If you're trying to knock appearance fees, then I think you're being illogical for the simple sense that we're playing for $6 million here; they're playing for $2.7 (million). Why would you fly 6,000 miles to play for a third of the money?
"It's going to be a part of the game if we want to increase the awareness through the world and grow it globally."
More Phil
Mickelson hasn't won at Torrey Pines since 2001 — the tournament before the South's redesign — but he came closest to victory last year, when he pulled the pin on 18 to try to hole out a wedge. He missed by a few feet and lost by one to Watson.
"In the past I've had some success here, so certainly I expect to win," Mickelson said. "If not, I don't want to say that it's a failure, but it certainly wouldn't be what I'm looking for or expect."
Mickelson said he believes he is "quite a bit" a better player than he was two years ago. "But you haven't seen the scores yet," he said. "The reason I haven't been is pretty clear to me. I think I've got (his putting) turned around."

Jaundice caused by hyperbilirubinemia affects sixty percent of all newborns worldwide, and a higher percentage in Asia. Of these jaundiced newborns, an estimated ten percent will develop permanent, long-term disabilities and even brain damage without treatment. Phototherapy is the only cost-effective treatment for this condition.
Firefly phototherapy is the first device that Vietnamese clinicians trust to use in the room with mothers in rural hospitals--a context that supports an optimal cycle of newborn phototherapy and feeding for rapid and effective treatment. The combination top and bottom phototherapy, robust enclosed housings, table-top size, removable and cleanable single-infant bassinet, and high-tech medical aesthetic make it the most trustworthy, intuitive and effective phototherapy device affordable for low-resource, remote settings in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

Should the Peaceniks Apologize? -- a Personal Journey
Gidron, Martin J., Midstream
If you are not prepared to take life, you must often be prepared for lives to be lost in some other way. -- George Orwell, "Reflections on Gandhi"
That's not just masonry, steel and dead bodies in the streets of New York and Washington, of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. In the ruins are also the illusions of this generation of doves.
For those of us who care about Israel and passionately supported the peace process with the Palestinians, the disillusionment began a year ago, when Yasir Ararat showed what he thought of Ehud Barak's land-for-peace offer by launching an undeclared and mendaciously disguised war on Israel. Just as the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin six years ago presented an opportunity, mostly squandered, for the Israeli fight wing to engage in soul-searching (cheshbon ha-nefesh, in Hebrew), the spectacular failure of the Oslo peace process and the explosion of terror in its wake must now bring about a reckoning among Israel's peace camp and its supporters abroad.
Nobody likes to be told that one's deeply held beliefs are mistaken, and, that put into practice, they have produced results nearly the opposite of what was intended. That is why it is no surprise that to this day there are communists who refuse to admit that the bolshevik revolution and its heirs killed millions of people, created catastrophically unjust societies, and called into question the entire idea of progress in history, while many more people who once supported communism have retreated into a confused or embarrassed quietude.
Of course, there is no comparing the quandary of Israel's peace camp and its friends with the experience of disillusionment with communism. Israeli peaceniks may be accused of naively supporting a mistaken, even a catastrophic policy, but not of massive crimes like those of the Soviet regime. Still, it seems to me that if the Oslo supporters in Israel and abroad refuse to engage in a fundamental self-examination, they risk the political fate of Mikhail Gorbachev, who was bold enough to let freedom come to the soviet Union but failed to find the courage to challenge his own political beliefs and the system that gave birth to them. Like Gorbachev, Peace Now and its allies may find that they have changed the world -- and brought their own house down in ruins.
At the outset, one must distinguish between the peace idealists and the peace pragmatists. It is the former that I am chiefly concerned with in this essay, even though it is the latter group, especially its leaders, Rabin and Shimon Peres, who were the real makers of history in the 1990s in that they actually signed onto the Oslo accords. But the motivations of Rabin and Peres, on the one hand, and of groups like Peace Now, on the other, could not have been more different. Even in the Oslo years, Rabin had little patience for peace activists and sometimes enjoyed saying things to make them wince, such as his sarcastic observation that the Palestinian Authority did not have to worry about groups like B'tselem (the Israeli human rights group). For former Chief of Staff Rabin, making peace with the Palestinians was just another strategy for ensuring Israel's survival. There can be little doubt that in his world view, withdrawing Israeli troops from the West Bank and Gaza Strip was first and foremost meant to get rid of a security liability and to isolate the radical Arab states and Iran.
For it beggars belief to think that the same man who, as defense minister during the first intifada, had given orders to "break their bones," had now been converted into John Lennon singing "Give Peace a Chance," even though Rabin the politician was capable of playing exactly that role, at the rally where he was assassinated. Rabin, and probably Peres too, understood perfectly well that Ararat was not really committed to peace, and that he harbored not-so-secret desires to use the territories awarded to him as a base to continue waging war against Israel by other means. …

Well the main bugs I found was when I left the shop in the first town I teleported next to a barn, and at the entrance of Pallet Town when the story moves on, there's a event invisiable block that hasn't been moved so when you walk aver it it says you haven't explored the town but there's no event block next to ti so I can leave to town and explore everywhere else. And the noise that tells you ran into something is irraiting but thats just me.

Kyle Busch Ready To Stomp At Bristol
Kyle Busch is looking for a St. Patrick's Day celebration at Bristol Motor Speedway with a win. He has been bad fast so far this weekend.
Kyle Busch is looking for a St. Patrick's Day celebration at Bristol Motor Speedway with a win. He has been bad fast so far this weekend.
If you are a Jeff Gordon fan you will probably enjoy this video put out by Pepsi Max , one of Jeff's Nascar sponsors. This is the latest fad in advertising where a company looks for a creative way to get video "hits" to promote their product...
I think NASCAR is getting exactly what they wanted.
The new Generation 6 race car gets a major test this week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway since the track is typical of many of the intermediate sized speedways that NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series will race at this year. Rain washed out qualifying on Friday which means the starting grid will be set according to the NASCAR rule book.
Denny Hamlin is one of the best drivers in the Nascar Sprint Cup Series. Denny knows when a car is good, and Denny know when it is not.
This wasn't just a win for Carl Edwards. This was a statement.
Tony Stewart normally would have something to cheer about today. It was an amazing race at Daytona. Unfortunately he's probably not drinking the "bubbly" tonite. There was also a terrible crash that injured many in the stands.
Country stars like Reba McEntire and Rodney Atkins are leading NASCAR fans in prayer this evening after a horrific accident at the end of Saturday's (Feb. 23) race at Daytona which left over two dozen fans injured. One adult is in surgery with a life-threatening head injury, while a 14-year-old is in critical condition.
Kyle Larson's horrifying crash at Daytona International Speedway in the Nationwide Series race Saturday has stunned the nation. During the crash, parts of the car and the engine flew into the grandstands and a fan was able to catch it all on video.
Danica Patrick will be hitting the track hard and fast on Sunday as a pole position starter in the Daytona 500; the first woman ever to do so.

Johnson named top small businessmanApril 19,2013
CRAFTSBURY The federal Small Business Administration has named the owner of Petes Greens, an organic vegetable farm in Craftsbury, Vermonts small businessman of the year.
Pete Johnson said he is honored that the SBA considered an organic farm to be a worthy recipient of the award.
Petes Greens employs 14 people full time and has 400 to 500 members in its community supported agriculture program, in which members pay up front for food grown or produced on the farm or by other farms.
The farm also sells to grocery stores and restaurants and at the Montpelier farmers market.

Students in the Part-Time MBA Program pay for classes on a per-credit basis as the classes are taken. Students pay for credits before the start of each quarter. This excludes the .5 credit class, Leadership and Crisis Management (KPPI 440A) that all students are required to take. If your fees from the prior quarter are not paid two weeks prior to web registration for the following quarter, you will have a hold placed on your account and therefore will not be able to register.
The 2015-2016 tuition rate is $6,208 per 1 credit or $3,104 per .5 credit. This will take effect with tuition payment for the Fall 2015 quarter.
All payments of tuition and other fees must be paid by the due date indicated on your bill to avoid late fees. Instructions for how to access your bill can be found here.
April 15 - May 1: 1/2 tuition charged

I know our babies are about to be 18 months but my back still hurts like the week after I had the kid!
I do remember when I was in labor, the epidural chick stuck me about 3 times. I honest think she did something wrong but since I was numb, I couldnt say or feel it at the time. I literly feel like they left the needle in my back and now pains shoots down my leg.
I know a combination of being pregnant and now picking up a toddler, that could contribute to my back pain but I was wondering if any of you still feel horrible lower back pain.
Do you think it was the "epi"?

Larry Phillips is running against incumbent Ron Sims' for King County Executive. Of course, you already knew that, but this morning with a backdrop of people (including former County Executive Randy Revelle) holding "Larry Phillips: For Our County Executive" signs, he made it official.
Standing in the back of a pretty sparse Hall 6 at the Labor Temple in Belltown, it occurred to me--we really need someone else to get into this race.My concern is not that neither can adequately perform the duties of the office, but the healthiness of the run up to the November election. I tend to think of campaigns as the place where you force candidates to hone in on some of the specific issues and priorities facing a governmental body--in this case King County--so whoever wins has a sense of what people need and want to be done when they actually take office. But getting these two men to hone in on anything is like herding cats--idealistic cats given to vague platitudes about transit and the environment.
Phillips, for his part, has a tendency to support very large government programs without a lot of careful explanation for why they're important or how they can be successful. Twice he mentioned his support for Sound Transit, something Sims opposed, without ever really saying why it's important or worth the money.
In fact Phillips' entire speech this morning was generally less about how he would run the county and more a not-subtle shot at Sims as out of touch. Phillips used the term "focus" several times to describe his approach to governing but he never really clarified what that will look like with regard to specific King County issues.
For Sims' part, criticisms that he lacks the aforementioned focus are at least warranted when directed at his way of conversing, if not governing. He tends to spend more time talking about large scale issues like the environment or health care rather than where we should put a new jail facility.
I'm having visions of debates between the two going something like:
Moderator C.R. Douglas: How would you prevent problems like those at the County animal shelter and juvenile detention facility from arising in the future?
Phillips: I will focus on those issues.
Douglas: Do you care to clarify that?
Phillips: We will invest in fixing those issues, in a way that is focused, unlike the current Executive, who has been unfocused.
Sims: I think what you're missing here, C.R., is the important work we've done on the environment. I was in Washington just last week speaking on a panel at the Brookings Institute, discussing the subject of climate change and international health care goals.
A third candidate might just help reign these two in a little. Maybe we should convince Aaron Reardon to move to Seattle.
Of course, there's always the possibility that Sims will just be out of the race and in D.C. in the coming weeks.

When breast cancer upended her life, Rebecca Seago-Coyle made fighting back her most important project
As told to Sabin Russell
Rebecca Seago-Coyle is a busy project manager and a fitness enthusiast who did all the right things. She exercised, ate healthy foods and in 2010 stepped up her bicycling and running with ambitious goals. But in the middle of that year, when she was only 35, came the diagnosis of breast cancer. Inspired by other survivors who ran marathons through their treatment, she kept up her racing regimen through surgery and chemotherapy, and today is a passionate supporter of Innovators Network and an advocate for Fred Hutch.

Sealed Air Corporation Stock Upgraded (SEE)
TheStreet) -- Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE: SEE) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- SEE's revenue growth trails the industry average of 24.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 53.22% to $156.90 million when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 32.21%.
- SEALED AIR CORP' earnings per share from the most recent quarter came in slightly below the year earlier quarter. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, SEALED AIR CORP increased its bottom line by earning $1.45 versus $1.36 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.73 versus $1.45).
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.56, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 0.99 is weak.
- The change in net income from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the Containers & Packaging industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income has decreased by 3.7% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $76.50 million to $73.70 million.

Reviews for JoJo's Fashion Show
Waste of MoneyMondu | Sept. 15, 2011 | See all Mondu's reviews »
I bought this game for my little sister who proceeded to spend 1 hour playing at get bored. The story is terrible and nonexistant and the constant dressing up of models is boring and repetative rather than something which should be fun. The £10 price is absolutely ridiculous considering the game plays exactly like the hundreds of other dress-up games you can find for free on the internet - not to mention it even looks and plays worse than those free games. Avoid this game at all costs.
Fun.. But repetitive!Voobroad | May 29, 2011 | See all Voobroad's reviews »
This is a nice game where you have to dress up models for the runway. You get scored based on if you match the theme or not. Its a nice entertaining game at first but after awhile can get very repetitive because you do the same thing over and over again. But i do recommend this game if you want a quick play.
Terrible!Harjyot | May 27, 2011 | See all Harjyot's reviews »
This is a game with cheap flash game visuals and the same could be said about its gameplay, which is in fact worse than many flash titles. The game is extremely bad, and the story is cringe-worthy. Avoid this game based on its genre alone, and it feels really cheap. Stick to flash games, as you would be saving a great deal of money.

Down a quiet alleyway off Piccadilly, a neon sign announces 'sushi'. It's easy to miss even if you've been to Yoshino before, so keep your eyes peeled. Like Atariya in Ealing, the secret to this sushi bar's success over the years has been a guaranteed supply of market-fresh fish; the company is also a seafood supplier. For years, the winning formula here has been a small selection of sushi sets.
The colourful chirashi – topped with shredded nori, mange tout and omelette, as well as the expected sashimi slices – has always been a favourite, and didn't disappoint on a recent visit. The salmon on our nigiri had silky-smooth flesh that melted in the mouth, and the squid was good quality too. Recently, Yoshino's repertoire has expanded to include wagyu beef teppanyaki and skewers.
The seating has also been rearranged, with no pews by the sushi counter. Instead, the dimly lit (and slightly down-at-heel) ground floor is dotted with small tables. Head upstairs if you can: the design is minimal, but it's generally lighter and brighter. Service remains as polite as ever.

We went for dinner here on a Wednesday evening - the restaurant wasnt full but busy enough. Staff were attentive, warm and they answered all our questions, as well as recommending a great sharing menu for two to make sure we tried a good range of dishes. The sushi and tempura was lovely and brilliant quality - and the bill was actually surprisingly reasonable. We have both agreed we will be visiting again - highly recommended!
Took my girlfriend there for a special date and was amazed at how great the service and food was. The only downside is having to return to normal food... :( P.S never had a steak so good!
After reading a lot of good reviews, I went there yesterday to check this place out myself. The place itself isn't very big and not too cosy as well, more like a diner. The staff is very polite, but unfortunately when I asked them a few questions about the sushi they have, they couldn't answer it. Now about the portions, I don't know actually what is the traditional portion of sushi roll in Japan, but usually when you make a roll and cut it into pieces, you get 6 pieces if it's a regular maki, or 8 pieces if it's a uramaki. Unfortunately in this place you get only 3 pieces per portion. I went there with a friend. Ordered two portions of ebi tempura (3pcs per portion), two portions of sushi with salmon (3pcs per portion), two with spicy tuna (3pcs per portion), some kind of big roll, green tea and an apple juice. The sushi was not too bad, just a bit loose, that means the roll wasn't rolled tight enough. Rice could have been fresher as well. The fried prawns were in a nice color, but with too much of batter (personally I prefer when prawns are just with a little of batter and covered with bread crumbs). Finally the "big" roll. This was a real disappointment. What we got was a thin slice of a big roll, cut into quarters. You couldn't even take it with a chopsticks, because it crumbled straight away. Paid for everything 55£ including the service charge of 7£ as I remember. I'd say a bit pricey, what do you think?
yoshino used to run the basement take-out sushi counter at the old japan centre on piccadilly, where the lunchtime queue would extend up the stairs. fantastic quality and great value - which guaranteed fresh sushi due to the high turnover. the restaurant is tucked down an alleyway which make it feel like an authentic secret spot. whilst excellent for good-value japanese in that spot of town, the best thing about yoshino is the take-out sushi and sashimi at lunchtime. though portions (and price points - yoshino opted to cut prices and reduce the serving size) have shrunk in the past few months, the friendly, cheerful staff make the food even more enjoyable. you get the same warm welcome regardless of if you're buying a small £2 snack or the lunch order for an entire department.

Why You Need to Start a Daycare

Starting a Daycare
So, you already know what you hate. Maybe it's your thankless job, ungrateful, uncaring boss, the grinding commute for hours, not spending time with your kids and the breathtaking pain you feel when you leave them crying at a daycare every day. You feel so trapped and paralyzed by financial constraints. Yet, you can't see a way out of the rat race. Worse still, you can't shake the guilt and sorrow you feel at not watching your kids grow and develop during those formative years, not knowing what's happening to them in their little, daily lives.
Despair no more because there is a way and it is a lot more achievable than you may believe! It is possible to stay home with your kids and replace your income whilst cutting your expenses by starting your own home daycare. You ask, "But how can I possibly make enough to match my current salary?" "Basic math" is my response. Just as an example, let's start with an average gross monthly income of $2800.
Gross Income
Minus Taxes
$ 800
Minus Gas
$ 150
Minus Daycare Costs
$ 550
Minus General Expenses
$ 300
Net Income
So, bottom line, in order to replace your current income with home daycare income, you need to make $1000 per month. In order to achieve your goal, you will need two full-time children based on an average cost per month of $500 per child for daycare. Not exactly insurmountable! You can also decrease your tax bill substantially by offsetting a lot of your necessary household expenses against your business profits. Clever, fastidious bookkeeping can save you a considerable amount of money.
I have brought it down to the simplest terms so you can see exactly what being employed is costing you both spiritually and financially. Our conditioning is such that employment is the norm and those who attempt to become entrepreneurs are either dreamers or risk takers. However, now you can see how the dream of self-employment is easily within your grasp by starting a home daycare.
The benefits are immense and immediate. Quality family time becomes a given. You control your days and make your rules. You are active and having fun, doing something worthwhile to all concerned. For the right person it's a wonderful situation.
Debt is preventing me from taking a vacation this year or the vacation I'd like to take this year! Tell us: Yes, debt is affecting my vacation plans! or No, we're going exactly where we want to go!

"Gozo" Top 5 Page for this destination Gozo by steventilly
Gozo Travel Guide: 502 reviews and 1,390 photos
Gozo is Malta's little brother, situated just a mile or two off it's North coast it is described by some as "Malta how it used to be". It certainly has a more sleepy and laid back feel, and doesn't really cater for mass tourism in the way the mainland does.
This makes it a very lovely place to visit in my view, and there is certainly plenty to see here. The first time we went just for a day, the second time for 3 days, the third time a whole week. Even after that it was hard to say goodbye, even though we were moving on to Malta.

This small island has many impressive churches. Great page
We did have Ramla beach to ourselves!! San Blas looks lovely too...congrats on Gozo top page !
Yes you're right about the fireworks but they have sooomeee regulations now ; )
Malta's little brother?! What a surprise to hear that from an English person! We only refer to Gozo as male if we speak in Maltese! Anyway, glad u have had such a good time - we might have even met, unknowingly!
LOL, "Malta's little brother"? I have it as its sister island on my Gozo page :-) You've done a great job here...nice to hear you enjoyed your holiday. Anne
We were freaked out by some of the roads, but yes the remote parts of Gozo are divine if you have the stomach to seek them out!

Can Kerry beat the odds?
A Vegas casino table can feel like a focus group. When I sat down to play $5 blackjack at the Monte Carlo on the Las Vegas Strip, I found myself surrounded by a well-dressed guy from Massachusetts, a drug counselor from somewhere in the Midwest, a schoolteacher from Phoenix, and an extremely drunk dude from Denver. Wow, I thought, I'd love to know how these people will be voting. (I also thought: Should I double down here with the dealer showing a nine? And will Slate let me expense my extensive gambling losses?)
Sadly, it's taboo to talk politics at the tables. The one person willing to go there was the dealer. When she ID'd a guy who turned out to be old enough to play, she said that he'd passed "the global test." Then, after not getting a sufficient response, she mumbled that she wished "someone like Goldwater" were running this year.
As this painstaking research might suggest, Nevada leans conservative. It's gone Republican in every presidential vote since 1968, except for two Clinton wins eked out with a huge hand from Ross Perot. There's an obvious libertarian streak here and a surprising number of religious conservatives. (Mormons abound.) For Kerry to take the state, he'll have to steal it from Bush's grasp.
Still, polls this year have run tight. To suss out which factors might swing the state, I spoke with several locals—including a former governor, a professional poker player, and the guy who created the "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" ad campaign. Some possible election-deciding phenomena:
The Two Nevadas
There are essentially two Nevadas. The first is Clark County—Las Vegas and its environs. Voters here skew Democratic, with a large minority population and a heavily urban populace. The second Nevada includes everything but Vegas—Reno (the only other population center), empty ranchland, and even emptier government land (with nuclear test sites, windswept military bases, and the infamous "Area 51"). These voters are solidly conservative.
Given this divide, the recipe for a Bush victory is clear: Come out of the hayseed counties ahead by 60,000 to 70,000 votes and hope Kerry can't make up the difference in and around Vegas. But if one variable might throw this GOP game plan off track it is …
Yucca Mountain
Most issues in Nevada are the same as anywhere else: Iraq, the economy, and so forth. Then there's Yucca Mountain—the Nevada-specific issue.
Yucca has long been slated to serve as a repository for the nation's nuclear waste. As Slate's Chris Suellentrop has pointed out, Nevada is where we hide all our unmentionables: gambling, prostitution … toxic sludge. In this case, the waste would be buried inside the mountain. Since the mountain is only 90 miles from Las Vegas, most Nevadans are less than thrilled with this idea.
George W. Bush made noises, in his 2000 campaign, about never letting Yucca turn into a waste dump. Yet it seems to have become a near fait accompli on his watch. Kerry, meanwhile, in a case of laser-focused, state-specific pandering, has sworn he will not let Yucca go toxic.
It's not so clear that Kerry, as president, could or would carry out this promise. (It would mean sticking other states with the waste instead and would require some serious cooperation from Congress.) It's also not clear that Nevadans care all that much. There's significant Yucca Mountain Fatigue across the state, with candidates having hammered at this issue in every election cycle, and many residents are resigned by now to a bad outcome. Still, there are thousands of newcomers to the state who are not yet fatigued by the issue, and in a close race it might swing just enough votes to make a difference.

Legendary Mizzou coach Norm Stewart honored with statue
The Missouri Sports Hall of Fame unveiled a bronze statue of former Missouri coach -- and player -- Norm Stewart over the weekend.
Stewart won 634 games with the program, earning 14 conference titles along the way in 32 season as coach of the Tigers. He's not quite as synonymous with the program as Jim Boeheim at Syracuse or John Wooden at UCLA, but he's about as close as you could get to the former two. Prior to landing at Missouri in 1967, Stewart coached at Northern Iowa for a half-decade.
Stewart, who was also an All-American as a guard for Mizzou in the '50s, retired in 1999 with a career record of 731-375.
"I still am having trouble getting my arms around all of it," Stewart said.
He was one of a handful of coaches from the state who were honored in Springfield, Mo., on Saturday.

We took Leah home from the NICU two days ago. This morning I was trying to feed her and she wouldn't eat, so I put her in her swing while I pumped. After I finished I went to get her to try and feed her again and she wasn't breathing. She was completely lifeless and pale, she would not respond to me. I thought she was dead. I called 911 right away and tried giving her breaths. She took a few gasping breaths, and eventually made a few whiny noises. By the time the ambulance got there she was breathing better and her color had returned a llittle. They have done all kinds of tests on her and all have come back normal (they just did a EEG, so I don't have those results yet). They think she may have apnea and will send us home with an apnea monitor. My dh and I think that they way she was sitting in the swing may have cut off her airway. She is so tiny and limp that her head may have been too far forward. Why, when you leave the NICU do they give you 4 pages of instructions, but never mention that swings or bouncy seats could be harmful to them. I almost lost my little girl today.
After being home for 2 days, baby is in the hospital
We were never told either that swings or bouncy seats could be dangerous. I always put DS in his swing or bassinet when I wasn't holding him. His swing has 3 reclining positions I kept it laid back as far as it would go (pos 3). I always made sure that his head wasn't flopping forward when he was in his swing. Same with his bouncy seat but he wasn't a fan of his bouncy seat so it was only used a handfull of times. I am so sorry you went through that. Are you ok? How is your baby doing now? I'll pray for you.

oh my, that's a preemie mom's worse nightmare! We go through SO much with these little one in the NICU and (if you are anythi ng like me) we are SO paranoid that everybody around us with their temries thinks we are nuts and then something liek that happens when you let her be a baby for a while to PUMP for her!!! This is so unfair, like you need more reason to feel paranoid and scared every time she leaves your sight...pffff, this is tough!
it is so sad that something as innocent and fun as a swing for most babies can turn in such a nightmare in our "preemie" world...

Well, it looks like the swing was not the issue, although I still won't be putting her in it for a long time. She is back in the hospital in the ICU because she has had a couple more episodes of not breathing. They think she may have a virus, probably contracted while she was in the NICU from a visitor. Her system is so premature, she just couldn't handle it. Her lungs are clear, and the zillion test they have done have come back normal. Right now she is hooked up to a CPAP, I think. It is giving her some breaths, and oxygen also. They keep trying to lower her oxygen level, but she doesn't tolerate it well. It is so sad not being able to hold her again. We hope that she will start to make some improvements and get to come home soon.
Oh man I am so sorry! I had to take my baby back to the hospital for feeding issues a couple weeks after we came home. Its so hard to go back especially when u already thought u were clear of that place! Are you back in the nicu or on the peds floor?

I am sooooo sorry to hear you are going through this, I can only imagine how terrifying it must have been for you, something we all fear but you did everything right so PLEASE I hope you are not second guessing yourself. I have put both our boys in a reclining swing and bouncy seats and honestly never thought much about it. Like many have said, the NICU never cautioned us about this. I hope your little one continues to do better and that they can get her safely back into your arms and at home again. I know how disappointing needing another hospital stay is, recently Alex went back in for what looked to be labored/fast breathing. Turns out his oxygen level was low and I'm wondering how long it was like this and we had NO idea, he never came home on oxygen or monitors from the NICU. The only thing they can come up with is maybe he too contracted a mild virus that is not really showing any other symptoms except exacerbated his lung disease. His lungs were clear too and all the cultures came back negative too. Luckily he was only in the hospital a few days and is now home on oxygen and monitors but that experience was enough to unglue me so my heart goes out to you. I feel like our little ones are soooooo vulnerable. well now I'm rambling, but please know you are all in my prayers. keep us posted on how she is doing when you are able.
Our miracles arrived 5/2/09 at 28 weeks, Nicholas 1 pound, 12ozs and Alex, 1 pound, 10ozs with Spina Bifida L1
Thanks everyone. Leah is now in the peds unit, because they will not readmit to the NICU after they have been discharged. It is nice though, because we can be in the room with her, where the NICU is in pods, with 6 babies in a pod. Hopefully when we do get to go home they send us home on a monitor, for nothing else but peace of mind.
Oh Jen, I'm thinking of you lots today -- hang in there!
Ben 8/14/06 (32w5d), pPROM, IUGR, HELLP
Ethan 12/21/08 (37w4d) Yay, a "Termie"!
My nephew stopped breathing when he was 15days old (born full term completely healthy and big size). It ended up happening a total of 3times and he stayed in the hospital for a week each for the first two times. Turned out to be acid reflex. Doctors told us that they discovered that acid reflex was a major cause to SIDS. Since they discovered that babys get this.. SIDS has gone down 41% (I believe thats the exact percentage they said). My nephew came home with a monitor too. The doctor said if it happens again the best way to get him to breath again is to hold him upside down breath in his face and tap on the heels of his feet.
I hope it doesnt happen again and everything works out. Trust me I know how scary it is.

I had a similar story, after my first preemie was released from the NICU, she had apnea episodes and stopped eating. We took her back and she was in the pediatric ward for another 3 weeks. I hated this because she was still so little I wanted her back in the NICU but they don't take them back like you said once they are released. She was born at 33 weeks and discharged after 7 days!!! Too soon.
With preemie #2, I insisted that they keep her longer in the NICU/ISCU because of this.
I will be praying for you and your LO and a quick recovery. Take care.

Im having a hard time choosing a name for a boy. As of now, im stuck on the names Keston Isaiah or Keston Josiah...But I also wanted his name to go with his sister name which is India..so I was thinking Israel..any help will be appreciated....feel free to give other suggestions also!
Please help me choose a name for my baby boy!!!
Comments (10)
Keston is different. I like Keston Isaiah best, but I like Keston Isaac even better. I wouldn't use Israel - or any other place name. If you do, and you have more kids, you'd have to use the same trend for a third IMO.
Out of those Keston Josiah gmv.
Also India and Keston are both uncommon and unusual names, they really will go together regardless of the middle names.
Stick with Keston.
If you name the first two India and Israel you'll feel obligated to continue with an "I-country" theme...
unless Ireland, Italy and Ivory Coast will be the names of any future children, just choose something you like.
No, really - it isn't "uniQuE" if it's in the Top 1000!
I really like Keston Isaiah.
Did you get the idea from Keston Karter the calendar model?
I really like Isaiah Keston actually! Have you considered it? I love the first name Isaiah but my DH doesn't so we went with Levi.
Married the love of my life 6/4/05

I think Keston Isaac sounds excellent.
India and Keston are both extremely unusual names and sound like a brother/sister pair. They will stand out in public places.

Prior to the Transformers screening that he brought his audience to on July 3rd, 2007 in Eugene, Oregon, mc chris announced that his albums would no longer be available for purchase through major markets (such as iTunes or even his own web site), making them exclusively available at his concerts. He is, however, encouraging pirating and burning of his previous albums to create higher popularity for himself when he does tours or releases future albums.
The song, "Townie," from Dungeon Master of Ceremonies contains the lyrics, "I roll back my eyes, clear my mind and proceed, paint a picture-perfect world called the house of mc." This a reference to the 2005 Marvel comics event "House of M" in which the Scarlet Witch created a "perfect" world for herself and all of the superheroes.
mc chris is featured in the song "Be Together" by Attention Deficit.
In January of 2006, mc chris was a nominee for Spin Magazine's online "Band of the Year" contest. The voting was shut down for maintenance after fans of the band he was put against, Demander, used voting bots to stack the odds in their favor; when the site came back online Demander was declared the winner. Following the announcement of the results, Demander made it clear that they did not support what the fans did, and even went as far as to admit that they did not think they would have beaten mc chris without the vote hacking.
In June of 2007, mc chris announced on his official message board that he will return to Adult Swim with his new project "Battle Hi". The project, however, is tentative (scheduled to premiere in early 2010).
If a mc chris show coincides with a big "geek" movie premiere night (Star Wars III, Fantastic Four 2, etc.), mc chris is occasionally known to take the entire audience out to a late-night showing of the movie after the concert.
In the June 2007 volume of Playboy, Chris was on a page of the magazine. The title has something along the lines of "keeping it real without a record deal", this is false since he has his own record label since 2006.
Bad Runner has clips from Blade Runner.
The song Townie, is a reference to the scene in The Muppet Movie when Fozzie and Kermit meet Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem.
On the original Eating's not Cheating album, a sample of the song Return of the Fly was used in the song Evergreen.
The line from Alan Alda's commercial for the Atari Personal Computer is the intro to mc chris ownz.
mc chris used to perform with The Lee Majors.
Chris was on Gamespot's After Hours.
mc chris plays the role of Satan in the song "The Roommate From Hell" by MC Lars.
mc chris was inducted into the 501st Legion of Stormtroopers.
There is another Chris Ward, who writes for Wizard Magazine, and they get mistaken a lot.
The theme song from Gauntlet is the music in the song Tussin.
Chris went to the same high school as Tom Morello, Rage Against the Machine guitarist, and they performed together at SXSW '07.
Blastic is about the American Express Centurion Card.
