Trevor Smith is convinced that he's not too old to make a splash in a young man's sport.
Not that 32 is old, mind you. But in the UFC, where fighters get paid to win and entertain, it's not exactly young.
"I definitely feel like I'm in my prime," said Smith, a graduate of Mark Morris High School in Longview who lived in Vancouver for about five years as a youth. He will make his UFC debut on Saturday in Seattle.
To make his mark, Smith will have to beat Vancouver native Ed Herman. Herman also is 32, but has been competing professionally for a decade. Herman was runner-up on the made-for-TV Ultimate Fighter 3, and has a record of 20-7 with one no contest (7-5 in UFC).
The 185-pound bout between Herman and Smith is on the undercard of UFC on Fox 8 at KeyArena in Seattle. The fight is scheduled to be the second of the bouts shown live on the FX network broadcast that begins at 2 p.m.
The Seattle show is headlined by a UFC flyweight (125 pounds) title fight between Demetrious Johnson and John Moraga that will highlight a four-fight main card to be shown on FOX (KPTV 12) starting at 5 p.m.
Though Smith and Herman are both coming off losses, the winner could find himself considered for a main card fight in the future.
Smith and Herman both are strong grapplers. Smith was a high school state champion at Mark Morris and wrestled at Iowa State. Herman is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt.
Smith brings a 10 win, three loss mark as a professional mixed martial arts fighter into this fight. He had enough success as a Strikeforce fighter to get this shot, despite losing his previous two fights.
He hasn't won a high-level fight since November 2011. Because of a broken hand, he didn't fight between January 2012 and January 2013.
Herman also is hungry for a win. His last win was in February 2012. Most recently, he lost to Ronaldo Souza in the first round of a Strikeforce fight that Herman took on short notice.
Herman, who now trains in Fort Collins, Colo., told the website MMAJunkie.com that it is difficult dealing with losses and the questions that arise about a fighter's career path.
Herman told MMAJunkie that he believes he can wear out Smith.
When Smith wins, it's often early. He has nine submission wins and one by knockout since turning pro in 2009.
Smith said he prefers not to study an opponent too much so that he can enter the octagon to beat a faceless foe.
The way Smith sees it, his time has come.
"I've never been more calm for a fight," Smith said. "I've put in the time. I'm ready."

Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo is a dynamically modern metropolis that nearly 12 million people call home.
Exciting stimulating and safe, Tokyo offers a treasure trove of ever-unfolding surprises and discoveries that beguile the resident and visitor alike. Covering more than 800 square miles (2,000 square kilometres), it is an enormous, fascinating entity unto itself.
Although only the official capital since 1868 when the city of Edo was renamed to Tokyo, or Eastern Capital it had been the administration centre of the country since the opening years of the 17th century when Tokugawa Ieyasu unified the nation, built Edo Castle and established the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Already a city of over a million inhabitants by the mid 18th century, the large, bustling city continued to thrive, expand and embrace all that was new, unique and exciting ? much as it does today. Fires and earthquakes have taken their toll but never deterred Tokyoites, like the proverbial phoenix, from rising vigorously from the ruins.
Fast-paced, energetic and busy, the city rarely seems to rest, and this is especially true of Tokyo's many centres. Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro and Ueno; Nihombashi, Shimbashi and the famed Ginza. Each centre has its own special flavour and its enthusiastic adherents. Exclusive boutiques, enormous department stores and innumerable specialty shops entice the browser and window shopper as much as the serious buyer.
Art lovers are drawn to the many fine museums and art galleries, and the superb exhibits from around the world that are constantly on display. Music fanciers also have a wide selection of concert halls that have full schedules of both local and visiting musicians performing all types of music. Theatre is extremely active as well, whether for local adaptations from the European and American stage or the spectacular kabuki and highly refined Noh.
From traditional Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines to the high-tech Tokyo Tower, Tokyo is an unforgettable experience to savour and enjoy the year-round.

SCOTTS MILLS, Ore. — After spending two days at a rural Oregon property looking for traces of missing Utah mother Susan Powell, police have found no signs of her and have exhausted the lead, authorities said Thursday.
"It's been a meticulously investigated case. We've looked at every tip and aspect" and will continue to do so, said Sgt. Mike Powell, spokesman for West Valley City police in Utah.
He said he believed police were wrapping up the search.
"We're still looking for Susan," he told The Associated Press.
The property is located near Scotts Mills, northeast of Salem, Oregon's capital.
In an interview Wednesday night, Susan Powell's father said he hoped the investigators would turn up some sign of her.
"I'm disappointed," said Chuck Cox, who accompanied some of the search dogs on the hunt. "I just don't know where she is, but we'll keep looking for her."
He said the Oregon property had ties to the family.
Susan Powell was reported missing in December 2009 after she didn't show up for work. Her husband, Josh, maintained his innocence and said he took the couple's young boys on a midnight camping trip in freezing temperatures the night his wife disappeared.
In February 2012, Josh Powell locked a social worker out of his home at the start of a supervised visit, then killed himself and the couple's two young children, attacking his young sons with a hatchet and then setting the house ablaze. Days earlier, a court had ordered Powell to undergo an intensive psychosexual evaluation as part of a custody dispute.
Josh Powell was never charged in his wife's disappearance, but unsealed documents say authorities found Susan Powell's blood on a floor next to a sofa that appeared to have been recently cleaned, with two fans set up to blow on it. Investigators also found life insurance policies on Susan Powell and determined that Josh Powell had filed paperwork to withdraw her retirement account money about 10 days after her disappearance.
Anne Bremner, an attorney for the Cox family, said the brother of Josh Powell had said in a deposition that he had driven to Oregon and abandoned a vehicle there. The brother, Michael Powell, committed suicide earlier this year.
Bremner said she's still interested in seeing more work at the property, including the possibility of having volunteers go to the site to help search.
Cox said he appreciated that investigators spent time on the Oregon search, saying it showed a dedication and determination to find his daughter.

Excellent. House very nice! Good good good!!!!
Good location, very good breakfast, room and Lidia herself. :)
I would do it again. ;)
Lidia supports you in everything you need. For me for example, it was very helpful that I could wash my clothes. She also gives you a lot of tips what to see and how to get there in a cost saving manor.
Regarding the appartement, everything was as promised in the ad.
We, my son and I, enjoyed being there and highly recommend Lidia and her place.
Lidia is a kind and generous host, very warm and friendly. She ensured we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay in Stockholm. The room was comfortable, clean and cosy. The location is very close to great shopping and we were able to walk into the city, or take the metro. Highly recommended.
Very nice host. Nice rooms and extremly friendly service. Lidia provided lots of good information on the city and sights. We enjoyed the breakfast she provided very much. Had lots of interesting talks.
Thanks Lidia. I'd recommend your place anytime to everybody. You made our first Wimdu experience a very positive one!
Very well situated place - very silent and no so far from dynamic streets. Also near from metro stations.
Lidia is very kind and gives good advise to visit the city.
Si vas a visitar Estocolmo te recomiendo este apartamento por varias razones.
En primer lugar por Lidia, es un encanto de persona, dispuesta en todo momento a ayudarte con cualquier tipo de duda, información turística o logística del viaje.
En segundo lugar por la ubicación del apartamento. Está muy bien comunicado, a menos de 4 min hay una estación de tren y a 7 minutos una estación del metro, y si quieres ir andando al centro, en 15 minutos estás allí. Está en un barrio tranquilo pero muy cerca de una de las zonas con más ambiente de la ciudad.
Además, el apartamento es cómodo, limpio y sus desayunos son
magníficos. Merece la pena desayunar allí, no sólo porque son contundentes y variados, sino también, por las conversaciones entretenidas con Lidia.
Si volviera a Estocolmo, seguramente que elegiría este apartamento.
I felt well taken care of at Lidia's. Everything was clean and she made a real effort for her guests to feel comfortable. Even installed a new WiFi access point when I had problems connecting to the old one.
I've spent just two nights in Lidia's apartment and can say she is really one very nice lady which made everything possible to give me the feeling like I was at home. I came at about 21:30 at her apartment where she was waiting for me whith smile on her face. She gave me great tipps about transportation and not even one of my (quite many) questions seemed to bother her. Herr breakfst was great (is not incl.in room-price-but i would recommend to take the breakfast as well). I had great chat with her in the morning durin our "breakfast" and can recommend her to everybody becouse she is really great lady. My room/the whole apartment was nice, clean, close to the city center and I relly don't have not even one complaint ;)
it was a pleasure to meet Lidia! She was very helpful in giving me advice about stockholm. Her breakfast was also very deliscious ! Thanks a lot

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 271114 AFDEAX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 614 AM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016 .Discussion... Issued at 321 AM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016 Eastward moving MCS is moving into an increasingly poor environment where instability was mostly used up/eroded by earlier convection. But ample moisture and slow movement may result in additional flooding problems across the Kansas City area, especially those areas that saw heavy rainfall earlier in the night. The rainfall from this MCS will aid the already anomalously high precipitable water values. We should see values exceeding the 90th percentile, and likely around 99th across the forecast area. This sets the stage for additional rounds of heavy/efficient rainfall. The main question is where and when as short-range models have struggled handling the nightly MCSs in this pattern. Models are all hinting at a boundary draped over the forecast area by this afternoon. This could act as a focus for additional storms but overall confidence is low on where this would occur. While the threat of severe storms looks lower today than it did yesterday, it can`t be ruled out, especially late this afternoon through this evening when instability may be maximized. But this will depend on when morning convection moves out and if storms develop during the day and muddy the environment up. While there is quite a bit of uncertainty with timing of additional rounds of storms today, the pre-existing conditions and high available moisture in the atmosphere suggest there is continued potential for flash flooding. So will extend the flash flood watch through Saturday morning. The wet pattern looks to persist Saturday as we`ll have a shortwave trough move through the area, helping to trigger more rounds of storms. However, in the wake of this wave we may see a relatively quiet Sunday. There will be a quick recovery into the Plains though and if those storms can congeal into a complex we may see additional storms Sunday night. Overall, the threat of severe storms looks low this weekend as the strongest instability builds to our west and shear is relatively weak due to relatively weak flow aloft. It continues to look unsettled through much of next week. The upper pattern will generally feature a trough to our west and southwesterly flow aloft. However the threat of anything severe at this point looks low as winds aloft continue to relatively weak over our area and the strongest instability gets focused to our west. && .Aviation...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday Morning) Issued at 614 AM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016 There is quite a bit of uncertainty with this forecast as guidance and local observations indicate low MVFR to IFR ceilings are occurring or will occur through the morning hours. Have gone with this notion through the morning but it`s possible conditions may improve by later this morning. Scattered thunderstorms are possible this afternoon but timing is very uncertain. Given this have just mentioned VCTS for this afternoon and this evening. && .EAX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... KS...Flash Flood Watch through Saturday morning for KSZ025-057-060- 102>105.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
The Best Price Motel and Suites located at 2610 Interstate 10 in Orange was hit twice in one week by counterfeiters trying to pass fake twenty-dollar bills, according to reports from the Orange Police Department.
The Port Arthur Police Department SWAT team responded to a call regarding a mental patient with a firearm on March 3 at about 10:21 p.m. in the 3700 block of Woodland Avenue, according to a news release from PAPD.
Upon entering the Hotel Beaumont, the musty air and skilled architecture of the lobby give one the sense of an almost 100-year history not yet fully realized.
A single-vehicle motorcycle accident proved fatal for a Port Arthur resident on March 2.
A car theft in Port Arthur and subsequent car thefts related to the first carjacking report led Lafayette authorities to arrest one man who ended up stopping at a Louisiana hospital.

Pictures and Text Madhubhashini RATHNAYAKA
Sri Lankan culture, economy and social values have been constructed
around 'agriculture' for a long period. Indigenous agriculture can be
divided into two, which are Chena cultivation and Paddy cultivation.
Lakbukete which is used to take water or seeds by the
farmers and Dumessa which is used to dry things
There is evidence to prove that the livelihood of the ancient man of
this land was formed by chena cultivation. The natives lived on hunting
and chena cultivation. That may be the reason why the Veddas, people in
this land today like chena cultivation much. In the past, crops for raw
materials, which are like cotton were cultivated except crops for food.
In Mahavamsa it is written that Kuveni was spinning cotton when prince
VijeyaM arrived here. And also there are some information written about
chena cultivation of cotton in Ummagga Jathakaya which was written in
the Kurunegala era.
As Aryans began their agriculture mainly with irrigation systems, the
specialty of chena cultivation descended. But in Thonigala inscription
(in the fourth century) it is mentioned that the Aryan also paid
attention on chena cultivation for some extent which was limited to the
The chena cultivation is a migratory and primary method of
cultivation which does not need water like in paddy cultivation. The
cultivation is mainly done in Yala and Maha seasons, and there is not a
season between them. And also as this is a migratory system, any
opportunity in building strong civilization around chena cultivation was
not possible.
Sesame cultivation
Though chena cultivation does not have much customs like in paddy
cultivation, there are some simple customs and special vocabulary which
are related to chena cultivation. There are some similarities in this
vocabulary and customs in different areas. But according to the features
of sub-cultures in those areas these vocabulary and customs change.
Nuvara Kalaviya, Sath Koralaya, Digamadulla, Binthanna and Ruhuna are
famous in chena cultivation. But there is evidence that in past the
chena cultivation was done in wet zone except in dry zone. There are
many rituals done when a chena is cultivated but differ according to the
areas. First of all the farmers in a village get together and select an
appropriate plot of land in their village to cultivate. The selected
plots are mainly named according to the forest in that selected plot.
Some of them are, Nava Deli chena is a plot which is prepared after
cutting the thick jungle and burning it. Ath Danduwa chena is a plot
which is prepared cutting the trees which are grown to arm size and
burning it. The trees in an old chena which was cultivated 10-15 years
ago - then abandoned- grow into arm size.
Apala chena is a plot which is prepared cutting the wines and other
trees which are with thin trunks and branches tangle together in to a
small forest and burning them. Kanathu chena is a plot which is prepared
to cultivate which was abandoned for two or four year's time.
Drying sesame
There are special ways in dividing this selected plot among the
farmers. The first one is called Mul keta chena. Here the centre of the
main plot is marked and then it is divided into the sub plots in the
shape of triangle, around that centre. Then comes the Iraveli chena
which is the main plot is in the shape of rectangle and the sub plots
are also divided as so.
So the chena cultivation is done as a group work as a group of
farmers are cultivating the plots which are attached. Then the chena is
cleaned after doing religious rituals, and then it is burnt. After that
a strong fence is built around the chena with the use of untouched or
half burnt trunks and branches. Then seeds are sowed. After that the
vegetables and grains are grown and the farmers stay in the chena to
protect them from birds and some animals line elephant, wild boar,
porcupine, rabbit etc.
For that the farmer builds a small hut a huge tree which will help
him to see the whole chena and as well as will give him protection from
the big animals like elephant.
Then going through a lot of hard work, the crop are taken to the
home, offering them the first portion to the Buddha and gods.
That is how we, Sri Lankans proudly owned a self-sufficient
agriculture system which provided our fore-fathers with nutritious foods
to gain strength to build the huge Dagobas and tanks and the marvelous
creations such as Sigiriya. The time has come to us to recreate that
back boned culture; agriculture.
Having to keep up with the monthly vaccinations
1. You would get the same thing if you were buying a dog - maybe even
better! The bond that you would have with a rescue dog is strong. A dog
that has not had the greatest start in life or just has been 'thrown
away' because its owners could not take care of it, is more likely to
bond with their new family. Once the dog is in its new home it wants to
please as much as possible so they are never again 'thrown away.' Most
rescue dogs make very loving and loyal companions.
2. A best friend. With an adult dog (two years and over) you have an
instant best friend. You don't have to wait for your puppy to grow up to
see if it enjoys doing the same activities that you do. When you come
home from work you'll want to relax with your dog rather than cleaning
up after it.
After all the messes, its the annual bath
3. Getting a puppy is just like having a baby - not getting a good
night sleep. Adult dogs are not as demanding as puppies. They do not
need to be taken out at exactly 5:30 a.m. every morning or are up and
want to play at 3:00 a.m. Want time to rest and some peace and quiet get
an adult rescue dog.
4. A house broken dog. In a shelter or rescue organization dogs are
all taught to be house trained. Getting a puppy from a pet store means
training, training and more training. A puppy needs to be on a
consistent schedule - because puppies will go when they want to go.
5. Do you think you will have time to take your puppy out every hour
to be house trained, feed him, and clean up his messes? An average
working person gets home from work late and does not have the time or is
too tired to do all those things before the day is over. Having an adult
dog means you will be able to have more time for yourself not taking the
dog out.
6. Less bills to pay. A puppy needs to be taken to a vet for a series
of shots, facials, to be altered and one or two emergency trips if they
swallowed something dangerous.
Multiply each visit by Rs.600 or more plus shots and medications.
That can add up to more than Rs.1500 a month. When adopting a rescue dog
they should be up to date on all shots, altered, heart worm negative,
and on prevention.
House trained
7. In tact clothes and furniture. A puppy constantly needs to chew on
things, if it's a table leg, socks, or shoes, the puppy does not care as
long as it can chew. No matter how much you'll keep an eye on them
they'll always get into something. A puppy needs to be on surveillance
24-7 unlike older dogs who can run around the house without destroying
8. Getting an older dog means you know what you're getting. A puppy
is unpredictable on how big it will get, what will its temperament be,
and if it will be good with children. When adopting you get a dog best
suited to your needs and not a puppy you don't know how will turn out.
9. When buying a puppy people go by a color or look. It is not a very
good basis to go on. Puppies often change in behavior and look. You
might get a couch puppy when you love the outdoors, or vice versa. When
adopting you know specifically what your getting and how that dog
10. Knowing you saved a life might be the most rewarding of all. Not
only are you thankful you have a companion, your companion is grateful
he is still living. Puppies in pet stores are guaranteed to be bought,
just because there're cute, but not every dog is rescued. I know you
can't save every dog but one life DOES make a difference.
Many people think dogs that are rescued have behavior problems or are
genetically inferior. That is NOT true.
Many dogs are very sweet and just want a home. You can spend Rs. 5000
-10000 or more on a dog and get a bad dog. It all depends on the dog.
Some people do not realize the time, effort, love and money that has to
be contributed in raising a dog, and just forget about them so they give
them to shelters.
But adopting just might be the best decision you ever made.

Bill would protect same-sex, bi-national couplesFebruary 15,2013MONTPELIER More than a year after U.S. immigration authorities sought to split up a same-sex, bi-national couple living in Vermont, Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Susan Collins of Maine are pushing legislation to protect such couples.
After a threatening letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 14 months ago, Frances Herbert and Takako Ueda of Dummerston got a follow-up letter in May saying the agency would hold off for two years before trying to deport Ueda to her native Japan for an expired visa.
Now legislation introduced by Leahy and Collins backed by President Barack Obama would halt such deportations by allowing Americans to sponsor their same-sex permanent partners who are immigrants for permanent residency.
There are an estimated 36,000 same-sex, bi-national couples in the country.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON Bill Lee is fielding so many phone calls hes beginning to have second thoughts...

Money that was set aside to buy land as part of an agreement between the city and a developer is now being given to a company moving to Franklin.
In addition to tax breaks on equipment and land, the city approved up to $405,000 as a forgivable loan for Hetsco Inc. to help purchase and renovate a building.
The cash, which will come from the city's tax-increment financing, or TIF, districts, is the second part of an incentive package offered to the company.
The city plans to give Hetsco about $122,000 to help pay for the 11 acres of land located off Graham Road around the building, as well as $250,000 to help with construction costs to customize the building, Mayor Joe McGuinness said.
McGuinness did not expect to spend the entire $405,000 because the city is paying for less land.
If Hetsco purchases and builds out the building within two years, the company will not be required to pay back any of the money. Hetsco also plans to hire 40 employees with average wages of about $28 per hour over four years.
The company will be required to file annual reports with the city so officials can track its progress, McGuinness said.
Redevelopment commission members approved the loan 4-0 on Monday. Commission member B.J. Deppe was absent.
Hetsco, which primarily does service work on aluminum heat exchangers, has outgrown its facilities in Greenwood and will consolidate its work sites into the single building in Franklin. The city council already has approved tax breaks for Hetsco, which will save the company about $400,000 in property taxes over the next 10 years.
The company is moving into a shell building on Graham Road. The city partnered with Runnebohm Construction to develop and erect that building, helping cover interest, taxes and utility costs and pledging to buy the land if the building didn't sell within a certain time period. The cash incentive the city offered to Hetsco is coming from money that had been set aside to buy the land.
Hetsco grew steadily while in Greenwood and plans to nearly double its workforce when it moves to Franklin. The new jobs will have an average wage of about $28 per hour, not including benefits, and the company is investing $4.4 million in its new building and equipment, which is why the city was willing to offer the forgivable loan on top of the tax breaks, McGuinness said.
"I think this is a very reasonable and very safe investment. I think it's a very small investment from the city that will reap large benefits," he said.
McGuinness reviews the number of jobs and total investment companies plan to make before making an offer for incentives. Tax breaks typically are the first incentive offered, but the city also has offered cash incentives for projects, he said. For example, the city provided $150,000 to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Climate Control in 2013 when the company expanded to add more than 70 jobs.
The city also has given forgivable loans to Heartland Machine and Engineering and Electro-Spec in the past when those companies were moving into new buildings.
Those business incentives all have terms similar to Hetsco's forgivable loan. If companies spend what they promise on a building or new equipment and meet hiring goals, the city does not require them to pay back the money.
Franklin already had set aside money to pay for expenses for the shell building, which is instead being used to help Hetsco. If the shell building didn't sell by September 2015, the city would have had to pay $450,000 for the land the building sits on. The city redevelopment commission also had planned to spend up to $100,000 this year to pay for utilities, taxes and interest payments under an agreement with Runnebohm Construction.
The money going to Hetsco is less than the city would have had to spend if the shell building hadn't sold and will go to support a high-paying and well-established business, redevelopment commission member Rob Henderson said.
"We have a nice fit for our community, a company with local roots and international reach," Henderson said.
"I think it's a good trade-off for us. The city has consistently and historically provided assistance for companies making those types of investments and bringing those types of jobs."
The money that's being given to Hetsco comes from taxes collected from businesses and set aside in the city's TIF districts for economic development. The shell building is located in a TIF district, so property taxes Hetsco pays in the future will go back into that same fund.

Incandescent light bulb lovers will have to look beyond Van Gogh's famous "Sunflowers" for ammunition in their war with LED bulbs.
For a while, online reports claimed that Van Gogh's 1889 painting by that name in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam was darkening because of its exposure to LED lighting. Some of the bright yellow paint was turning green and brown.
Scientists at the University of Antwerp in Belgium, however, found otherwise. The culprit was the paint itself.
ARTnews reported that the paint in question was chrome yellow, which, when exposed to light, darkened. The lighter the shade, the more quickly it darkened because of its higher sulfur content.
As far as researchers know, the darkening might have happened with LED lighting, incandescent or fluorescent. Maybe even the sun.
Still, the debate has curators on alert.
Ella Hendriks, senior conservator at the Van Gogh Museum, said the museum staff will "certainly take this information on board" when they make a final decision on lighting.
Meanwhile, in this country, the clock is ticking on incandescent bulbs due to the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act signed by President George W. Bush — except in South Carolina, where Summerville-based Aamsco Lighting Group has begun manufacturing legal incandescent lights in its Mullins plant.
One way or another, Americans will be using less energy.
And, who knows, maybe art museum curators will be Aamsco's best customers.

"Strictly Ballroom" (1992), a fairly conventional but zestfully presented tale of a rebel hoofer and his search for a partner who can match his dynamic but unconventional style. It also did so well on the US art-house circuit that Mercurio was invited to star in a Hollywood film, but "Exit to Eden" (1994), aiming to be a titillating comedy set on an island resort for those eager to try sadomasochistic sex, was roundly spanked by critics, mass audience...

Icehouse cometh: Exclusive details and an opening date
Long near the top of the list of highly anticipated restaurants of 2012, Icehouse has finally declared an opening date. The owners who brought us Be'wiched Deli describe their new venture as a "restaurant with a stage." We were invited inside to take a sneak peek at the space, which is quickly coming together, and got the final word on their official opening date.
The gleaming black tile has been installed in the kitchen, as has the smoker. The food will be similar to Be'Wiched -- all scratch. They'll be smoking the meats and making sausage and all their bread in house. A deli case will always be full, so anyone looking for a great sandwich can grab one on the fly.

Most people have been in some sort of relationship before and whether it's a friendship, a marriage, or an affair, there are times when we need to know that it is time to pull the plug. We want to look at our affair partner(s) through a better light. Since they're with us, we try to think better of our affair partners and our spouses. Those flaws that are so obvious to us are waved away because we are in love or lust or some form of intangible emotion that we can't put a name to.
There are signs that you should pay attention to when it comes to a relationship that is breaking down and while it can be easier to break off an affair with your affair partner, a marriage can be more difficult. Keep an eye out for these warning signs and if you find a lot of these resonating you, it might be time to take a step back and look at your relationship.
1) Criticism is constant.
It is normal to have talks with people you are having an affair with about what you are looking for in an affair partner. It is also normal to make small constructive criticisms about a person (presuming that you are close with them) when they ask you for your opinion. But if there is a constant stream of negativity directed at you (whether it's meant to be a joke or not), you're going to find that your mood isn't what it used to be. If the criticism just won't stop, then you should probably look elsewhere.
2) Sex just isn't as interesting as it used to be.
There is a perfectly functional and happy type of relationship in which there is no sex, but for a good chunk of the population, sex is necessary. If you are bored of the sex or not getting any sex at all, you are going to want to look at other options. Sexual compatibility and understanding is important. If you're not getting what you need, then you're going to have to find other alternatives whether that's an affair partner or porn.
3) Functioning without each other is impossible.
There are couples who are clingy and that's fine, but when you find yourself unable to function without your other half… there's a problem. Being this focused on a person means that they're responsible for your happiness and without having other ways to boost yourself up, your mood will crash whenever they're not around or whenever they're having a bad day. When you're so entwined with a person that you're unable to stand on your own two feet, you're in a dangerous position.
4) There's no real consensus in your relationship.
In every relationship, there is never a perfect balance. This perfect balance is also elusive when it comes to affairs. One affair partner will tend to make more decisions when the other. It's when you feel like you have no control or power in your relationship that you have to start getting worried. Whether it's with a spouse or an affair partner, you need to have some say in what's going on because it's your life as well. Whether the consensus is about sex, money, or even where to eat dinner, consensus is important.
5) Identity is lost to the idea of being a couple.
Being a couple, being a part of a unit whether it's an affair or a marriage, is a wonderful thing. However, just as being unable to function without each other is not a good sign, neither is losing your identity to your relationship. You still need to be an individual with your own needs. If you find yourself changing the way you act or trying to rectify your personality traits in order to have them fall more in line with what your affair partner or spouse wants, then you are in trouble. Some change is good. We all make compromises for a relationship, but if you're overhauling yourself to make yourself fit into a relationship, maybe it's not the relationship for you.

Comments about NeoCell Beauty Burst Collagen Soft Chews, Fruit Punch, 60 ea:
Re-news the skin, and makes nails strong. I really liked the chocolate, and really, really disliked the fruit punch, but to each his own tastes. Wrapper is just a simple fold-over; easy to open. I find them easier to take than big pills, and convenient since the Vit C and the hyaluronic acid is already in them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Didn't see a difference really...
By Genie
from New York, NY
I like the concept of the product (chewable instead of horse pill tablets) and I know some beauty supplements work but this one didn't. I actually thought if I used it long term maybe I would see results but I feel like I'm wasting my money and time with this, especially since I bought more than 1 bag of this stuff. Since I have to take 4 chews everyday, the wrapper is really difficult to unwrap and takes me a good 10 minutes.

Save on Botox -Get Beauty Bursts Instead
By Krista B
from Milwaukee, WI
describe yourself Budget Buyer
First I should warn you: these Beauty Bursts are so delicious you may not be able to stop at the recommended dose of two per day. Get your two out in the AM and then hide the bag!! Once I was able to contain myself from sitting and eating the bag of Beauty Bursts, I really noticed just how much healthier my skin and hair looked! I have started to develop lines and some are deep that I found concerning. Within two weeks of using Beauty Bursts, I noticed that the lines were diminishing and my skin had a healthier glow. My hair is shinier, too! Relatively low in sugar and low calories - plus it feels like a treat when you take them - so I like to save them for the afternoon when I get a snack attack for something sweet. It's like a two for one deal then! Sweet treat and healthier skin, hair and nails! I received Beauty Bursts in exchange for my honest opinion.

We need to localize all the Digimon games that have come out in Japan since 2010. We haven't gotten Lost Evolution, the two Xros Wars DS games, ReDigitize (since nobody outside of Japan gives two sh**s about the PSP), and I'm pretty sure we'll never get the game based of Season 1 that's due in Japan next month, which sadly is also for PSP.
I mean, seriously!
Port Redigitize and Adventure for 3DS! SOMETHING!

Samsung might not have been the very first smartwatch manufacturer, but they definitely have been one of the most adamant companies in pushing the appeal of a wrist-borne computer. Additionally, one could easily argue that they also produce the most beautiful of all the smartwatches: the curved Gear S. Also, arguably, the Gear S has one of the biggest flaws of all the smartwatches out on the market: Tizen.
Until XDA developer biktor_gj stepped up and brought Android to the Gear S via CyanogenMod 12.1. And what was Biktor's opening comment upon success? "Hey GearS! Welcome to the Android family!"

LB Corey Nelson says he'll be an Aggie
Despite reports, 4-star outside linebacker Corey Nelson (Dallas Skyline High School) says he remains committed to Texas A&M and will sign with the Aggies.
Nelson told TexAgs.com via text, "I'm not committed to OU and I will remain an Aggie. It's my future. Report that please. Tell everyone I'm through with recruiting and I will remain at A&M. It's my future."
Thursday night, OUInsider.com reported that Nelson had committed to OU. It's unclear if Nelson temporarily changed his mind or never changed his commitment in the first place.
Despite being committed to A&M for months, Nelson took an official visit to Norman last weekend. The Sooners were confident enough in their chances that defensive coordinator Brent Venables followed that up with an in-home visit.
But Nelson apparently has decided to stick with the Aggies, though this one may not be over until he signs on the dotted line Wednesday.
Nelson is rated the No. 12 outside linebacker in the country by Rivals.com.
* In other news, Texas picked up a pair of 5-star verbals Friday. The first was defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat, who announced he would be signing with Texas over OU and Houston.
Later in the day, West Chester Lakota West (Ohio) linebacker Jordan Hicks, the No. 1 outside linebacker in the country, also revealed he had committed to Texas over Ohio State and Florida.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Just because Red Bryant is comfortable doesn't mean the Seahawks defensive end is satisfied.
With a four-month-old son at home, Bryant is happy to have the security of the new five-year contract he agreed to with Seattle in March. But Bryant still feels that he has plenty to prove on the field.
During his very short time on the free-agent market this year, the New England Patriots were one of the teams to express interest in the mammoth Bryant. Considering they were coming off a trip to the Super Bowl and with the success the Patriots have enjoyed over the past decade, Bryant was flattered New England showed interest in him. It helped prove to him that he's become an impact player in the league.

Hi all-
Just wondering what your TTC vitamin regimine is. I never stopped taking my PNV and am thinking about taking a high dose folic acid since our angel did have an open NTD, among several other defects.
Which leads to my next question, should I be taking a high dose of folic acid for the NTD even if our doctors and geneitc counselors suspect chromosomal abnormalities (T18 or 13 or triploidy is what they've mentioned) due to the combination of symptoms? Or is that suggested just if you have a problem absorbing the vitamins, or if your NTD is due to sb or other non chromosomal issues? I haven't gotten that far with everything yet- I haven't discussed TTC with our OB. We are still waiting on the results of our chromosomal testing and microarray- I want to TTC as soon as possible, and I don't want to wait another 3 months in case we get results back that don't have a chromosome related dx. (We didn't do the amnio following our u/s which discovered all the many problems because it wouldn't have changed the prognosis that our baby wasn't going to live. )
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. And I appologize for my jumbled thoughts- I'm in a google research fog!!

Two people are dead on Tuesday night after a motorcycle and car collision in Boonville. The wreck left the car involved engulfed in flames. And neither operator of the vehicles survived the accident.
It happened late afternoon near the intersection of Route 12 and Kerwin Road in Boonville. The vehicles were traveling in opposite directions on Rt. 12.
Police shut down Rt. 12 just past the Rt. 12 and 28 split causing back-ups during the evening commute.
Cars waited in line to be re-routed as they came to the intersection of Egypt Road and Route 12. But just beyond the closure...two lives lost.
"Both the operator of the motorcycle and the motor vehicle have died. And currently the sheriff's office, our criminal investigation unit is here; our forensics id unit for the accident reconstruction is on the scene," says Sheriff Rob Maciol.
According to police, around 4:15 Tuesday evening the driver of the car was traveling southbound on route 12 preparing to turn left onto a side road when it collided with a motorcycle going northbound.
"At first I heard the motorcycle go by at probably like 100 miles an hour but obviously no way to be sure just by hearing it. I came outside to check it out by the side of the road, walked up a little more and saw flames coming from a car at the scene of the accident," says Ryan Borwick, witness.
Borwick lives only feet away from where the accident occurred. He says high speeds are not uncommon on that stretch of route 12.
"People usually don't follow the speed limit directly. Instead of going 55 like it's posted they usually go 65, sometimes even more. I mean pulling into our driveway, sometime I'll be slowing down and they'll be right on my bumper," he says.
But police say they do not think that intersection is the scene of many accidents. The cause of the accident is still unknown so it's not clear if speed was a factor.
If you have any information about the accident, please call the sheriff's office at (315) 765-2226.

If You Care Lawn and Leaf Bags Compostable 33 Gallon -- 8 Bags
Certified Compostable. No Plasticizers & No Polethylene. Made with GMO-Free Potatoes. If You Care Certified Compostable Trash Bags are made from potato starch from non-GMO starch potatoes blended with a certified fully compostable polymer. No plasticizers are added. . What Makes Potato Starch Strong? Starch is a mixture of a linear (amylose) and a branched (amylopectin) polymer of glucose. Potato starch has a higher percentage of amylopectin than either corn or wheat starch. Amylopectin gives starch its structural integrity so it helps make If You Care Certified Compostable Bags stronger than bags made from corn starch. . Any Other Reasons for Potato Starch? The potato starch used to make If You Care Certified Compostable Bags comes from starch potatoes which are not grown as a food source but only for starch production. These potatoes are too high in starch to be good for food. Therefore there is no diversion from food supplies. To produce the same amount of starch from these potatoes as from corn requires 40% less land. These potatoes require no irrigation and need only normal rainfall. Corn requires much more water. . Why Use If You Care Certified Compostable Bags? Approximately 80 million tons of waste (U.S. EPA figures) which goes to landfill annually is material which under the right conditions can be turned into compost including food scraps yard trimmings and non-recyclable paper. In a landfill environment this organic material (leaves grass etc.) releases methane gas – a greenhouse gas – contributing to global warming. Diverting food scraps and yard trimmings from landfill to compost facilities – either municipal or commercial in areas where available – contributes significantly to preserving our planet and natural resources. . Product Attributes. Potato starch from non-GMO "starch potatoes" – grown for starch not for food. Blended with certified fully compostable polymer. No plasticizers. Plasticizers migrate which deteriorates mechanical properties of bags. Package from 100% recycled board processed chlorine-free (PCF). No polyethylene. 100% certified compostable. Potato starch from potatoes grown for starch only – no diversion from food supply. Potato starch uses less water than starch from corn. No irrigation necessary only natural rainfall. 40% less land is used to produce same quantity of starch from potatoes as from corn. Use for compostable waste. Bags are certified compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI). Bags along with waste can be composted in municipal or commercial compost facilities. Cardboard box should be recycled

Oklahoma City-area Realtors see best numbers in five years
Oklahoma City-area Realtors are parading into the second half of what looks to be a post-housing slump banner year, with tattered 2007 statistics furled in the back of their minds.
Lorna Koeninger, president of the Metro Association of Realtors, checked off the comparisons with five years ago:
• Pending sales in June: 1,785, up 11.5 percent compared with June 2011 and the highest in five years.
• New listings of houses for sale: 2,415, down slightly and the lowest in five years.
• Current total listings: 7,670, lowest in five years.
Plus, the number of homes sold in June — 1,702 — was an increase of 10.3 percent compared with the same period last year; and the total value of homes sold, $286.5 million, was an increase of 13.5 percent.
The average sale price in June was $169,532, up 3.6 percent from June 2011.
"The housing market in Oklahoma City spun 2012 off to a running start in December 2011, earlier than expected and partly due to the moderate temperatures and low interest rates," said Koeninger, an associate with Paradigm AdvantEdge Real Estate. "The market throughout the spring and summer months has shown continued improvement over five years ago."
She cautioned that 100-plus-degree heat and preparations for school could dampen July numbers.
For their part, homebuilders pulled back a little as the dog days approached, Kurt Dinnes, owner of Oklahoma City's Sun Custom Homes and president of the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association, said.
"I expected it to slow down some. A lot of permits have been pulled. There's been a surge," he said. Activity, he said, "continues to be somewhat robust, but the big surge has already happened."
Last spring, renewed confidence had builders building spec homes again — those without buyers lined up — but now they have to sell some before building many more, he said.
Buyers seem to be in a rush to take advantage of historically low home loan rates, he said, with some worrying the November presidential election could usher in rising borrowing costs. Koeninger agreed.
Dinnes said that's the opposite of what sometimes occurs, when buyers grow reluctant to take the plunge during the uncertainty leading up to a national vote.
The average mortgage interest rate for homes sold here in June was 3.96 percent, down 16.8 percent compared with June 2011, the Realtors said.
However, tight lending is making it difficult to buy, even for seasoned homeowners with good credit and considerable equity to use for a down payment, Dinnes said.
Dinnes said he knew of a doctor who wanted to contract for a new house and was able to provide a 30 percent down payment, but her usual bank balked because she had left one hospital and affiliated with another one in the past year. Dinnes said he worked with her to find a willing lender.
The remainder of 2012?
"Mortgage rates remain low, and as long as a buyer can find credit, the buyer will buy a home versus rental. The dream of homeownership is still alive in Oklahoma," Koeninger said. But, "(it) depends on the interest rates staying at the all-time low, temperatures dropping, credit available to the buyers and listing inventory becoming available over the next few months."

The life and times of J. Whittaker: Social commentator, podcaster, rapper, producer and random quote generator. #WorksOverHard Latest album: #Facts on Bandcamp
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
JFX316's started rapping because of his dislike of popular hip hop as much as his love of old school hip hop groups like Public Enemy and Run DMC. His music is a reaction to popular mainstream hip hop
Overwhelming Colorfast is a grunge band that came out in 1992. They went largely overlooked, but where fairly good at playing distorted, pop rock.
Like OC, JFX316 is also fairly unknown at the time of the release of Don't Get Killed
The Insomniac Villain is another nickname/persona of JFX316.
"Real" rappers look down on J because of the sometimes nerdy subjects he raps about and references in his music.
Neonomicon is a four-issue comic book limited series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Jacen Burrows. In it, two FBI agents are investigating a series of identical but unrelated ritual murders. During the course of their investigation they discover a subculture of rock music, drugs and sex clubs built around the Cthulhu Mythos. It is an extremely sexual and violent story.
The Chimera are the antagonist in the Playstation 3 Resistance game series. In the game, the Chimera have invaded and conquered much of Earth, expanding their armies by capturing humans and transforming them into monster-like super soldiers to fight on their behalf.
…..sound familiar?
J is so underground in the music industry, that even HE isn't even sure if he exists in it.
J's lines are sharp compared to other rappers' lyrics.
