Ahhh, Link Diversity…
Linkmoses loves it when a seemingly technical and complex concept can be broken down and simplified, and Rand Fishkin at SEOmoz is one of the best at doing this. Give him a whiteboard and I do believe he could solve global warming. I've embedded a video of his that beautifully explains link diversity below.
Link Diversity means different things to different people. Some folks think link diversity is the number of links you give to other sites from your site. Links out, not in. There's also the school of thought that link diversity is the total number of pages from your site that are linked to by other sites. Meaning if your site has 173 pages, and you have links from other sites linking to 28 of your 173 pages, that's link diversity. That's getting closer, but not exactly.
Here's the most basic definition of Link diversity. Link diversity is the number of different sites linking to your site. To confuse it a bit, link diversity is also when another site links to more than just one page of your site.
We can take this many steps further, and invoke the old quality of diversity mantra. Having links from 652 different domains is useless if all 652 domains come from a link farm to begin with.
Linkmoses takeaway?
Lower diversity numbers from highest quality sites trump higher diversity numbers from low merit sites.
A site with 10 inbound links, where those ten inbounds are comprised of three libraries, two universities, and five non profits, will have a much more appealing and diverse link profile than a site with 100 links from 100 different make money fast domains.
Achieving link diversity is another matter completely
The approach needed to improve link diversity will depend on your site. Sorry, no magic bullets here. The link diversity potential for a site that sells tennis gear versus a site that helps handicapped people find companion animals will be quite different. In that sense, for link diversity to have any lasting impact on traffic or rank it must be dependent upon the subject relevance of that diversity.
Below is Rand's video. It's just a few minutes of your time, and well worth it. If it wont load, you can find it at

Gardening Articles: Health :: Cooking
Cooking and Storing Corn (page 4 of 5)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Corn for Grinding
Some gardeners are becoming interested in growing corn for grinding, especially in the case of some of the unusual blue- and red-kerneled Native American varieties. You can actually dry and grind any late-season variety -- field, flint, sweet and even popcorn can be ground into cornmeal or flour. However, because of its hard starch, flint corn grinds beautifully, so it's preferred by most folks. No matter what variety you choose, leave the ears on the stalk until after the first fall frost to give the kernels a chance to mature and harden completely. Gardeners who live in areas with relatively snowless winters can leave the corn standing in the field all winter. Although you can dry corn this way, it's better to harvest the crop and dry it away from hungry birds. Wet winter weather can also lead to mold.
Harvest the ears, remove the husks and place the ears in mesh bags. Or, if you prefer, braid or tie the husks together. Then hang the corn in a cool, dry place for several months to dry. You can leave the kernels on the cobs until you're ready to grind them, or shell the dry kernels and store them in airtight containers in a dry place.
Use a hand-cranked or electric grain mill to grind corn. Grind it as you need it, so it will have the fullest flavor and the most nutrition. Depending on how coarsely you grind the kernels, you can enjoy cracked corn for a delicious hot cereal or finer cornmeal for breads and hot cakes. Ground corn will be yellow, white or even blue, according to the variety grown. Corn flour is made by stone-grinding the kernels to a fine powder; this flour can be used in baking. The thickening agent, cornstarch, is made commercially by a special wet-milling process that removes the hull before grinding.
A note on corn cobs: If you like to smoke meat or fish, corn cobs left from the kernels you've dried and ground work beautifully and impart a wonderful flavor. Chop or shred the cobs for the best results. Cobs left over from sweet corn roasts won't work because the cobs have to mature and dry thoroughly.

Reviews for Camper's Breakfast Hash
"This was so delicious and such a quick and wasy recipe. We are the type of family to have breakfast for dinner and this meal was definitely filling enought to be able to have it for dinner. Even our picky eater loved it!"
"I make this recipe a lot at our house! I use smoked sausage or kielbasas, if there are some leftover corn or green beans from a previous meal I toss them in too! This is a very versatile recipe. Skip C."
"I prepared this dish this morning and declared it a winner. I halved the recipe for my husband and myself. I made a few substitutions such as using 3 eggs and egg beaters equivalent to 3 eggs, turkey sausage links, and 2% sharp Cheddar cheese. It tasted delicious and no one would be the wiser with the low fat ingredients. We will definitely have this again. Here is a link to my review and photos. http://community.tasteofhome.com/community_forums/f/29/p/883106/7622576.aspx#7622576"
"i needed to 1/2 the recipe and even over a very hot fire (yes i was actually camping and over an actual wood campfire) could not get it to not be mushy. i was using a large cast iron dutch oven."
"I make this every ear when we go camping with m husbands family. It's such a good one dish breakfast and it is filling. My husband really really likes it."

You know the models that stick to traditional rural laws and just model rather than performing in the adult industry? I always had a question about them.
Why do they wear such small bras? Is it like a Japanese fetish as they are extremely keen on the breasts when they have no proper support or is it just to hide nipple as a nipple exposure would automatically make the video into an 18+ xxx movie, according to recent standards?
It's a rather arousing question that is EXTREMELY serious. It has become a recent fetish of mine so I am determined to know more about it.

History of Senate Bill 311 and summary of IME changes
At the request of the Management-Labor Advisory Committee (MLAC), the Workers' Compensation Division (WCD) conducted a study of independent medical examinations (IMEs) in Oregon. The study included surveys of injured workers, attending and IME health care providers, worker and defense attorneys, and IME facilities. Focus groups were held to get insurer and third-party administrator input. The study results can be found here. WCD made recommendations to MLAC and, as a result, Senate Bill 311 was created. The 2005 Legislature unanimously passed Senate Bill 311, which:
Requires health care providers to be authorized by the Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS) director to conduct IMEs for workers' compensation claims in Oregon.
Worker Requested Medical Examination provider is selected from IME list of authorized providers.
Requires a Quality Assurance statement at the end of the IME report.
Provides the worker an opportunity to request review by the director of the reasonableness of the location selected for the IME.
Imposes a monetary penalty against a worker who fails to attend an IME without prior notification or without justification for not attending.
Imposes a sanction against a health care provider that unreasonably fails to provide diagnostic records required for an IME in a timely manner.
Provides authority to the DCBS director to investigate complaints and exclude a health care provider for violation of standards of professional conduct.
Requires DCBS to develop or approve any training curriculum for claims examiners used by insurers, self-insurers, or third-party administrators related to interactions with IME providers.
In addition to the legislation, administrative rules were developed that:
Require health care providers to receive training to be on the authorized list of health care providers.
Require the insurer to send a brochure with the appointment letter to the worker providing information about IMEs.
Require the insurer to send the IME survey with the appointment letter to the worker.
Allows a worker to have an observer present during an IME without the doctor's permission, except for psychological exams, as long as an observer form is completed. The observer form is included in the brochure sent to workers with the appointment letter.
Require the IME provider to make the brochure available to the worker upon request by the worker or when needed to complete the observer form.

Tax Information
From the UAB website (http://main.uab.edu/show.asp?durki=59892):
Scholarships: Understanding your financial aid award
Fellowships: Understanding your financial aid award
Assistantships: Understanding your financial aid award
What is the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit?The lifetime learning tax credit benefits graduate students.
Some Common Fellowship Programs
1. How do I know what kind of financial aid I have?
Answer: You should receive a letter from your department or program director describing the nature of the award. Any time the award changes, the letter should be reissued. If you don't have a letter, ask for one.
2. I am paid on my advisor's research grant, but I am just working on my thesis. Why are taxes being deducted?
Answer: You have an assistantship. A research grant is awarded to the university for the purpose of conducting research, not training. Your advisor cannot give you fellowship support from a research grant.
3. If I have a fellowship, how do I pay estimated taxes?
(75K, Adobe PDF), from the IRS web site--http://www.irs.ustreas.gov, as linked above--or from the Graduate School Office, HUC 511.
4. I have a fellowship, but I supplement it by teaching a class. Will any taxes be deducted from my check?
Answer: Taxes will be deducted only from the portion of your funding that is a teaching assistantship. Because this is compensation, it is fully taxable.
5. I am on an NIH Training Grant. Is this a fellowship or an assistantship?
Answer: NIH Training Grants (e.g.,T32, T35, T42) are treated like fellowships.
First year students are usually on a fellowship. Fellowships are not subject to Alabama state income taxes. Students who are second year and beyond are usually funded through a grant, which is an Assistantship. Assistantships are subject to Alabama state income taxes. UAB deducts the taxes from each monthly paycheck and issues a W-2 form at the end of each year.

Artificial Sweeteners Not Removed from Waste Water
Appearing in the journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, German researchers determined sewage treatment plants fail to remove artificial sweeteners—such as saccharin and aspartame—from waste water. Water samples were collected from two treatment facilities, turning up four different chemicals: acesulfame, saccharin, cyclamate and sucralose. Scientists fear these compounds will pollute neighboring streams and rivers; from ScienceDaily.
Water is all messed up! In March, a report came out saying America's freshwater is clogged up with antidepressants and cholesterol drugs. As for artificial sweeteners, Dr. Fuhrman slammed them after a new study revealed people using fake sugar actually have MORE diabetes.
In related news, experts recommend well water be tested annually for harmful chemicals, bacteria and germs, because young children are very vulnerable to waterborne illnesses.

Who needs Memorial Day when the weekend immediately prior to the "annual start of summer" is offering so much good stuff to see and do? Let's look at our best choices, shall we?
First up, consider how much good music is at the Living Traditions Festival this weekend. But at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday night, this music lover is planning to be staring straight at one of the best living soul singers on the planet. That's right, LaVette may not be a household name but that doesn't mean she lacks the talent to be ranked up there with anyone you care to name. Her career's been beset by hard luck and bad breaks - but not for a lack of a wonderful voice. Her notoriety has increased a great deal during the past decade and her re-emergence is a real bright spot in the music business. The 66-year-old Detroit native is one of soul music's best-kept secrets and we here in SLC are super lucky to be able to sample her sound for free this weekend.
Also, bluesman and wonderful harp player Charlie Musselwhite is featured at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, which sounds like the ideal way to wind down the weekend. Musselwhite is a veteran harmonica player and vocalist who got his start in Chicago in the mid-'60s blowing harp alongside the likes of Big Walter Horton. Authentic blues music is a relatively rare treat in these parts, and that's what Musselwhite delivers. know I won't miss it. For more on Musselwhite and his amazing story, check this interview and song selection recorded earlier this year on NPR's World Cafe.
And for non-Living Traditions oriented people, let it be known that lauded indie-folk singer Ane Brun will perform Saturday night at The State Room, starting at 9 p.m. Brun has earned notoriety for singing alongside famed singer Peter Gabriel. Her funny and somber mix of songs should work well at TSR. Tickets remain on sale.
Also, Minnesota bluegrassers Trampled By Turtles hit The Depot for the second time in six months on Saturday. These guys have a legion of dedicated fans, which make the shows pretty fun. Tickets are $20 and remain on sale at smithstix.com.

Where are the archangels among the choirs of angels?
16 comments:
Fr. Ryan,
While reading the Office this morning, I came across St. Gregory's homily on the Gospels. He states, (sorry, it's in English, not the original Latin) "It was only fitting that the highest angel [referring to Gabriel] should come to announce the greatest of all messages."
I have been stumped by one of my students in the past (it still wounds my pride that I didn't know the correct answer!) with the question of the highest rank of angels - the Seraphim. Is St. Gregory suggesting something else, perhaps? Or when he talks of the angels in this case is he simply referring to the lowest rank not the entire host. (I pondered for a while about what to call the entire collection of angels - is there a good term that encompasses all nine choirs?)
- Mark
- September 29, 2011 at 9:53 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Very good question!
St. Gregory is there speaking of the angels who are sent as messengers ... and of these, St. Gabriel has a special place -- indeed, the greatest messages are always given to him! (whether in the book of Daniel or in the Gospel of Luke)
Hence, he is not setting Gabriel higher than the Seraphim ... just before that line which you cite, St. Gregory specifies that the angels with lesser messages are called "angels" and the angels with greater messages are called "archangels" ... but from his other writings we know that there are even higher angels which do not deliver messages at all (and among these the Seraphim are the highest choir).
So Gabriel is the highest of the angels in terms of delivering messages, but not the highest simply speaking.
Hope this helps and makes sense! +
- September 29, 2011 at 10:59 AM
Dear Father,
Please give me a response to the last two questions here: http://newtheologicalmovement.blogspot.com/2011/06/where-is-jesus-body-after-ascension.html
I waited it so long.
Thank you!
- September 29, 2011 at 11:16 AM
- A Sinner said...
Hmm. I'd tend to side with Catholic Encyclopedia (and the Christian East) and make a distinction between the "lower-case" archangels and the seven "capital-A" Archangels (the one taking "angel" to mean just that choir, the other using it in the sense of all the bodiless spirits).
Also, though I think Aquinas denied that Christ learned anything of infused knowledge through the mediation of angels, have you anything to say of the pious opinion that Michael was the Guardian Angel of Christ's humanity, Gabriel of the Virgin Mary (and Raphael possibly of St. Joseph)?
- September 29, 2011 at 3:00 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
@A sinner,
while I would definitely say that Christ was not taught by the angels, nor was he subject to their ministry, it is a theological certainly that our Savior did have a guardian angel.
Who this angel was, I do not know ... probably one of the archangels, perhaps Michael (as you say).
Likewise, I think it would fitting if Mary had Gabriel and Joseph had Raphael, but I don't make that as any definitive statement ... just a pious thought.
As to whether Michael was in the choir of archangels (second from the bottom), I would stress that it is clear that he is not among the seraphim who praise God day and night without ceasing and who remain in the divine presence always.
Michael is a working angel, a messenger, and thus he deals regularly with the things of this world.
The seraphim, however, are the highest angels and deal solely with the worship and glory of God.
This is the main reason for St. Thomas' position (which is based on Denys and Gregory).
Certainly, there is freedom of opinion in this matter! +
- September 29, 2011 at 3:06 PM
In the reading of the little chapter for midafternoon of the Feast of the 3 Archangels from Tobit one hears: "I am Raphael, ONE OF THE SEVEN ANGELS WHO LENTER AND WERVE BEFORE THE GLORY OF THE lORD..."(!) thus Dionysius and Aquinas got it wrong!
- September 30, 2011 at 11:51 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Wow! You are SO smart! Don't you just wish that St. Thomas and St. Denys had read the Bible?!
If only St. Thomas had prayed the breviary! Maybe then he would have known something about the angels!
Oh well, I guess YOU are the "angelic doctor" after all!
... Come back when you want to have a serious conversation.
[ps. could you tell me what it is to "werve"?]
- September 30, 2011 at 4:05 PM
- A Sinner said...
"I would definitely say that Christ was not taught by the angels, nor was he subject to their ministry"
I can accept this, though I don't understand it.
I mean, we speak of Christ having three types of knowledge, or knowledge by three means; experiential, infused, and by the beatific vision.
Obviously, in the last case, He knew all that a created mind could know, which I think is everything that God knows by knowledge of vision (though not the infinite possibilities He knows by "simple knowledge")
However, in the case of experiential, we do not consider it to detract from Christ's dignity that He would learn from, say, His Mother or St. Joseph on that level of knowledge as acquired in the regular human manner (of experiences that encode themselves on the brain, etc).
So I'm not exactly sure why in the "middle" type of knowledge (infused)...we would consider it unfitting for Christ to gain infused knowledge as mediated by angels given that His human soul was of a nature (human) lower than the angels.
"I would stress that it is clear that he is not among the seraphim who praise God day and night without ceasing and who remain in the divine presence always.
Michael is a working angel, a messenger, and thus he deals regularly with the things of this world."
Though, you must also admit that this notion of how the bodiless spirits work is a scholastic construct.
The idea that seraphim cannot preform any external acts or acts in the material world because that would constitute ceasing to be in God's presence or something like that strikes me as unnecessarily "rational." I mean, as Christ Himself said, "I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven."
I'd think a seraphim could deal with the world AND constantly be worshipping God too. I mean, if Saints can still intercede for our prayers (can the seraphim under this model??) I don't see why not exactly.
- September 30, 2011 at 9:03 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
You have mentioned a couple times (here and in other comments) a negativity toward the scholastics.
The simple fact is that you can't blame the choirs of angels on the scholastics, it comes from Denys (an easterner) and from Gregory (a westerner).
The idea of the seraphim being dedicated to divine worship is not from the Scholastics, it comes from the Church Fathers.
- September 30, 2011 at 9:15 PM
- Chatto said...
as blunt and triumphant as it was, I think Pete does raise a point that needs an answer. We tend to associate being 'before the face of God' with the Seraphim (rightly or wrongly), yet both St. Raphael and St. Gabriel (in Lk 1) make references to being in the LORD's presence - both say "standing before Him" in the Vulgate, so perhaps Pete's translation is a little freer.
Is it simply a matter of all angels having the beatific vision? Who are these seven angels, who by that signification seem to be in a 'unit' by themselves? Is '7' here merely the biblical sign of fulness i.e. all the angels serve before Him?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, but then where did THEY get such an idea?
It certainly doesn't seem to be necessarily implied by Scriptures regarding the offices of the various choirs of angels (though it may be one possible interpretation), and Gregory or Dionysus aren't allowed to just assert things either (though they did).
Pleading Authority is not really an argument if the authority didn't receive any sort of Revelation on the matter; at that point, their guesses are as good as ours, and if there seems to be something screwy about the argument (especially on something as speculative as angelology), there is no reason not to question it at least.

@A Sinner,
You said, "Where did THEY [Denys and Gregory] get such an idea?"
Well, Denys was a mystic (and may have been the disciple of St. Paul).
Gregory was also a mystic and was very clearly led in his theological reasoning by the Holy Spirit (not infallibly in every case, but certainly he was given many insights).
What is more, countless theologians and saints of both East and West have accepted the basic structure of the division of the angelic choirs -- something of the sensus fidei is at work here.
[granted, as to whether Michael or Gabriel are Seraphim or Archangels (referring to the choirs) there is room for debate ... but as to whether there are the choirs, this seems to be nearly unanimous among the saints and doctors; not that it is a matter of certain Dogma, but it deserves much more respect than you are giving it]
You said: "Their guesses are as good as ours" ... that is absurd. Simply absurd.
It is a silly thing to say.
You shouldn't have said it.
Sts. Denys and Gregory (and St. Thomas) are not simply "guessing" ... they have reasoned and prayed intensely on this issue ... they were mystical theologians ... your words offend pious ears.
Further, given that you speak so dismissively of the saints and the traditions, I don't think that your "guess" would be "just as good" as theirs (even if they were only guessing [which, of course, they weren't]).
If you are serious about learning the tradition and the reasoning of the saints on this point ... take a look at ST I, q.108 - there, St. Thomas gives a good overview of both Sts. Denys and Gregory, and unites this mystical theology to some very good philosophy as well.
Remember, the angels are far above us, we need humility when we think about them ... we need to look to the tradition and to those whom the Church especially recommends as great writers about the angels (like St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor).
- October 1, 2011 at 9:34 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
You ask a good question.
First, I would say that it is clear that Raphael's words "I am one of the 7 angels who stand before the Lord" clearly cannot be understood to mean that he has no ministry among men or is a member of the seraphim who are dedicated solely to the praise of God (as is clear from Ezekiel's vision) ... this is clear because, while Raphael says that he "stands before the Lord", he is in fact standing before Tobias (Tobit) -- it is clear that Raphael is among the angels who are sent into the world to do the Lord's will.
Thus, "standing before the Lord" must surely be interpreted to mean that he experiences the beatific vision ... and that all his service among men is directed to the greater glory of God.
Regarding the idea of the "7 angels" ... it comes up several times in both the Old and New Testaments (see, for example Revelation 8).
Traditionally, these 7 are recognized as the seven archangels ... of course, there are more than 7 of them; but 7 have been revealed to us in a particular way (though we only know 3 names by public revelation).
And, yes, I think you are right that the number 7 is a sign of fullness ... these 7 archangels represent the fullness of the choir of archangels ... which is another reason why we should hold that Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are indeed members of the choir of archangels (rather than of the seraphim).
For more on whether and which angels are sent, see ST I, q.112 - http://www.newadvent.org/summa/1112.htm
Peace and blessings to you! +

Father, by St. Denys, are you referring to the neo-Platonist Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite?
- October 9, 2011 at 7:47 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Hidden One,
Yes, I (following St. Thomas) refer to St. Dionysius the Areopagite who was converted by St. Paul -- he is often called either Denys or Denis (this is the Latinization of his Greek name).
Peace. +

A friend of mine sold off his motorcycle and all of his guns to cover the deductibles and co-pays for some urgent family medical expenses.
That was an unsatisfactory state of affairs, so I boxed up a nice 1946 Izhmash sidefolder Mosin carbine, checked the postal regulations, and went down to the post office.
Five days before Christmas, I'm expecting an hour or more. Somehow, I was the only customer in the building. The clerk dropped the package on the scale and started the "animal, vegetable, mineral?" questions. I said, "this package contains a firearm," since the USPS web site says they need to be informed if a package contains one.
The clerk very nearly panicked. He went in back to check with his supervisor. Half a dozen people peeked around the corner to look at the madman with a gun in the Post Office. A postal inspector eventually came out, multitasking two different telephone conversations with somewhere.
I got the impression they don't handle many guns at my local post office...
I went over what was in the package with the inspector, assured her it was going to an 07 FFL and that it was not loaded, she relayed it to one of the phones, got a reply, and told the clerk I was good to go. He tapped on his keyboard, shipping and insurance came to sixteen dollars. Take *that*, Feral Express!

text: Honestly, looking around, it seems like no one has ever even attempted to do this. I propose us at PD, make a new democratic pokemon forum, where everything is decided and voted on democratically, no dictator like mods or admin oligrachy. I can't do this alone though, I need some of you guys, and your friends too, to jump on the boat. And we need help to figure out how to make this BIG, I want this to be an example to the rest of the internet that it can work. I want to make this clear, this is not a replacement for PD, PD should still be our main forum, this is just an expansion into a new land. This is just a brain storm thread, for ideas, names, and how to get popular. I have attempted this shit in the past, I know a few of you have too, maybe perhaps together, it can work.

Yesterday's post inspired someone to point me to another gem in the same category: the ongoing work of Jeffery Jay Lowder at The Secular Outpost on Bayesian Arguments for Atheism and theism. He has a long archive on that topic there and continues to post on debates in religion analyzing them in Bayesian terms. Though his posts are generally at a moderate and not beginner's level of difficulty, nevertheless a lot of valuable insight is there, and many examples of how to test and frame arguments in religious debates using Bayesian reasoning. Even when he's wrong, you can learn a lot by thinking about how to articulate what you think his mistake is using the same Bayesian concepts.
Lowder has even assembled a getting-started bibliography of his best posts on how to frame and improve evidential arguments for naturalism using Bayes' Theorem in his Index of Evidential Arguments for Atheism. This and the ongoing entries he adds on Bayesian reasoning in atheism are definite must-haves on any bookmark list for Bayesian atheism. Enjoy!

As with all vaccines, the flu shot is more effective the more widely it's administered. So to better protect yourself and others, urge family, friends and co-workers to get vaccinated too. "It is especially important for caregivers," Bridges says, "and for grandparents who could expose newborns and infants under six months, who are too young to get the vaccine."
Typically, about 37 percent of all Americans get a flu shot each year; given the severity of this season's outbreak, the CDC hopes that closer to 50 percent of the population will eventually be vaccinated. The agency has encouraged officials to actively promote the shot nationwide.
Is It the Flu or Just a Cold?
Worried that you may have the flu? It isn't always easy to know, Bridges says. Like a cold, the flu can come with a cough or sore throat and a stuffy or runny nose. But unlike colds, the flu is also typically characterized by inflammation, headaches and achy muscles, along with a fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Nausea and diarrhea are other common symptoms.
When Should I See a Doctor?
- If you do have the flu, prescription antiviral medications like Tamiflu or Relenza can lessen the symptoms, which can also include:
- Difficulty breathing.
- Pain in the abdomen or chest.
- Dizziness.
- A fever that spikes at 100 or above.
- A seizure.

More: You just got a third Olympic gold medal. Oh my God!
Kerri Walsh Jennings: I know, right? I have been delirious ever since that last ball went down. It was so surreal, much more so than the first time. My feet still have not touched the ground, the numbness still has not left my body, and I am still feeling every emotion but I can't express any.
More: But you have been on the top before. You should be used to the spotlight.
KWJ: Yeah but this was different for a lot of reasons. This was my last time doing this with Misty. There is a lot of weight and gravity tied to that. We were going for something that was never done before and might not ever happen again. We poured our hearts and souls into this every single day we were out there. Before it was more work. Now it was a sheer labor of love, friendship and much more than just a game of volleyball.
More: And as you just touched upon, very emotional.
KWJ: So much so I can't shed a tear, which is so weird because I am a crier. When I have time to process what we just did, I am sure I will start bawling because my next stage in volleyball will be without Misty. However, we are girlfriends for life. How fun is that?
More: Were you surprised by Misty's decision to retire?
KWJ: I was surprised she came back to the sport. She told me she was done back in 2010 and that she was out. She told me there was a zero percent chance she was coming back. Then a few months later she called me, and that call completely changed my life. My reuniting with Misty was the biggest blessing I have had in my career. We took two years away from each other and came back more appreciative, more faithful and more understanding that we have done amazing things together and we still have more to accomplish.
More: Sounds as if Misty has had a real impact on you.
KWJ: That woman has changed my life in so many ways, you have no idea.
More: When you look ahead, does it scare you that you might not have the same chemistry with your new partner the way you do with Misty?
KWJ: As of today, I can't imagine doing this with anyone other than Misty. Misty is that big, important and special to me. She has helped create this life for me that is so beautiful. Look, I will have to find a new partner; that is a fact. However, the one thing I will never do is let anyone compare my new partner to Misty. Nothing can touch Misty and me. It is sacred, special and something I cherish.
More: So you are OK with moving on and closing this chapter?
KWJ: I have to. I might not find chemistry right away, but we can build it. If I am playing I am playing to win, and I want a gold medal in Rio. Misty will still be a part of the process, whether she is a coach or supporter. She will always be with me. It is going to be different; that is for sure.
More: Aside from your award-winning career, you are a mom to two small children. How do your boys deal with Mommy being away for so long?
KWJ: It takes a village. I fully understand that phrase now and 100% agree with it. Although my family is very close knit, I need to be a working mom. My mom was a working mom, and I had a great life. Even though both of my parents worked, they were always present. It is important to teach my boys about having goals, dreams and having the courage to face them.
More: How do they handle the distance when you travel for work?
KWJ: They come with me. My husband, Casey [Jennings], is a beach-volleyball player too, so when it comes to our lifestyle, we do this crazy circus thing. My sister is our nanny on the road. I could not do what I do if my kids were at home the whole time. My kids are my heart. I can't breathe very well or sleep very well without them. I have to be close to my kids because they are also a part of this team. I feel I have better focus, determination and desire because of them.

The Oregon football team matched its ranking in the preseason coaches' poll by being ranked No. 3 in The Associated Press poll of media, which was released this morning.
The Ducks, coming off a 12-1 season in which they won their second straight BCS bowl to finish No. 2 in the polls, trailed only Alabama and Ohio State in the 2013 preseason AP poll. As was the case in the USA Today coaches' poll, the defending national champion Crimson Tide was nearly a unanimous pick at No. 1, while the gap between the Buckeyes and Ducks was just 30 points.
Oregon matched its highest-ever preseason ranking, from the 2011 season. The Ducks have been in the top 10 of the last 30 polls, going back to mid-September of 2011. Only Alabama (34) has a longer active streak.
This is the third straight season the UO football team has been preseason top-five — Oregon was fifth in 2012 — and the fourth time overall; the Ducks were seventh in the 2001 preseason poll.
Also representing the Pac-12 in the AP preseason poll were No. 4 Stanford, No. 21 UCLA, No. 24 USC and No. 25 Oregon State. Arizona State, Washington and Arizona also received votes.
Oregon opens the 2013 regular season Aug. 31 at home against Nicholls. Tickets remain available at $34 each.

Bruker has created a Chemical Analysis Division within its Bruker Daltonics subsidiary. Varian product lines to be acquired from Agilent will become part of this segment. This includes ICP-MS systems, laboratory gas chromatography (GC) instruments, and GC-triple-quadrupole mass spectrometers.
Bruker inked a deal with Agilent on March 9 for the Varian devices. Agilent was forced to divest the products to obtain regulatory approval for its acquisition of Varian. "We look forward to welcoming the customers of these three product lines, and we are committed to providing the highest level of applications and service support as well as accelerated applications and product development to this valued customer base," comments Collin D'Silva, the new president of the Bruker Chemical Analysis Division. The segment will be headquartered in Fremont, CA.
"These three businesses offer an opportunity to leverage our existing strengths in the analytical instruments market," adds Frank Laukien, president and CEO of Bruker. "The three new product lines will form the core offerings of our new Chemical Analysis Division."

Team: Missouri State Bears
Year Founded: 1905
Conference / Division: Missouri Valley Conference / Division I, FCS for football
Mascot: Boomer the Bear
Remarks: Since moving to Division I in the 1982-1983 season, the Missouri State athletic teams have made over 40 NCAA Championship appearances. The Missouri State men's basketball team has won 23 conference championships. The women's volleyball team reached their 1,000th win in November 2006, becoming the second team in NCAA history to accomplish this.
Decorating With Fathead Logo Assortment: Don't have room at work or home for a Real.Big. Fathead but still want to show your team pride in a Real.Big. way? Fathead has your smaller spaces covered! Decorate your cube at work or dorm room with this great assortment of Missouri State Bears logos. They don't have to go just on the wall, you can show your fandom on notebooks, furniture, cabinets, desks, the back of a metal or place chair, the side of a keg or just decorate for the big game! Sporting your pride has never been easier! These high quality college Fathead logo sheets are way better than a college poster, much bigger than a college sticker and much tougher than a college decal. You can move them and reuse them and they are safe for walls.
What It's Made Of: This Fathead Jr. Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you tremble, worry no more, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be easily moved and reused without any damage to your wall. As if it couldn't get any better, your Fathead comes with free separate smaller images (made of the same stuff) to go with your awesome new wall graphic.
Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a minute and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Fathead Juniors are the perfect fan decor for smaller spaces such as doors, fridges, windows, desks, tables, dorm rooms or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces, it may stick at first but it will likely not stay there for very long. Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself becuase your Fathead will not let go without a fight.
Welcome to Fathead Nation!

text: Hank Williams (vocals, guitar; born September 17, 1923, died January 1, 1953) The words and music of Hank Williams echo across the decades with a timelessness that transcends genre. He brought country music into the modern era, and his influence spilled over into the folk and rock arenas as well. Artists ranging from Gram Parsons and John Fogerty to the Georgia Satellites and Uncle Tupelo have adapted elements of Williams' persona, especially the aura of emotional forthrightness and bruised idealism communicated in his songs. Some of Williams' more upbeat country and blues-flavored numbers, on the other hand, anticipated the playful abandon ...full bio

"Oates: How you doing tonight?
Hall: Everbody all right?
Oates: How many people out there are Temptations freaks?
Hall: Positively.
Oates: Well, you know that we are, right?
Hall: You know we are.
Oates: Now, in the mid-'60s, when Daryl and I got together, there were a million vocal groups. Now in those days, you had to have uniforms, right? Well the Temptations always had the best uniforms.
Hall: They wore the best dresses, man.
Oates: And of course, you had to have steps. And the Temptations had the best steps. Now, you know you had to sing - and you know that the Temptations could sing. Now we had Eddy Kendrick with his falsetto, I think that's kind of set the standard for what's happening. You had David Ruffin, with the voice that sends chills up your arms, you know what I mean? You had Otis, who put the whole thing together. And you had Melvin Franklin who is quite possibly the best bass singer of all time. And to us it was everything. We tried our best, and we still haven't even gotten close, but... But there's one more guy that we forgot to mention.
Hall: Yeah, well, you know the whole thing is, seeing those guys in the '60s was amazing, but you've got to remember that they never stopped, you know - they're still gigging on, you know. And through all the trials and tribulations, through all the personal changes, and through all the personal problems and everything, you know they're still - what am I saying? They're still out there, you know? They're still working.
Oates: But that's what it's all about.
Hall: That is what it's all about, you know - that's what this is all about tonight. This isn't just about the past. This is about the past blending into the present and transcending all that stuff, you know? This isn't about old people - this is about people who are gigging right now. In fact, most of the people that are inducted tonight are still gigging right now, you know what I mean? There's a few people that aren't, but most people are. But there's one person I'd like to talk about that can't be here tonight. Everybody's made it tonight - everybody that could make it; there's one person that couldn't make it, and I think in some ways he was the soul of the Temptations, 'cause he was the guy who was the original lead singer - you know, he kind of came up with all the steps and everything, and I got to know him a little bit in the '60s when I was, like, 17 years old or whatever. His name was Paul Williams, the late Paul Williams. I wish he could be here tonight, I really do. I know he's here somewhere. He used to sing this one song - they used to end the show with one song in the old days, in the '60s, and he used to sing the song "Don't Look Back." And uh... you want me to sing it?
Oates: It's our great pleasure to introduce the Temptations."

The Big Guy Gets One, But The Twins Hang On
Try as he might, the Big Vegetarian was not able to power the Brewers past the Twins today…though he certainly tried, by launching an absolute bomb off Scott Baker in the sixth inning. Have the Twins played a series against Milwaukee since Prince joined the team where he HASN'T hit at least one home run?!
It was a decent win for the Twins this afternoon, but one that could have been improved upon mightily. On the offensive side, there are still way too many runners being left on base. The Twins got four across the plate in the first six innings today, but that total could have been much higher. It was nice to see Denard Span back in the leadoff spot, as I think he may have the best batting eye on the entire team (Joe Mauer included).
Pitching-wise, Baker was brilliant for five innings, then (as so often happens with him) gave up a few big bombs in the sixth. Really, Baker's inability to pitch deep into games is the biggest factor in his never moving into that "next level" as an ace-type pitcher. Either he throws too many pitches and wears himself out, or he cruises along and then absolutely hits a wall in the middle innings.
All things considered, though, it was nice to take two of three from the Brew Crew on the road. Losing the sweep (especially in the fashion it happened) was heartbreaking, but for a team that just tries to avoid getting swept when batting first, it's okay.
-I don't care what people say, Miller Park's Sausage Races are one of the funnier pre-game activities in all of baseball. Nothing the Twins do even comes close to that. Maybe next year I'll have to get back to one of these "rivalry" games, as I have an Aunt who lives right down in the area. I suppose next year, though, the buzz will be for Brewers fans to cross the border and see Target Field. However, going the other way at least one will be guaranteed a baseball game, something you won't be able to say here in Minny.
Preview (37-37, 2nd, 5.0 GB DET): Glen Perkins (2-4, 5.10) vs. Adam Wainwright (8-4, 3.58)

There are numerous options for purchasing tickets. Many local tour operators have websites that offer discounts for booking online, and many visitors to our area actually book excursions from their homes abroad or at local internet cafes in Vallarta, then simply show up at the departure point with printed receipt in hand. Some of the larger tour companies have their own small ticket offices throughout the city and there are also vendors who sell tours along the popular beaches such as Los Muertos. These vendors wear white and display credentials so you know that they're legitimate. Finally, there are ticket booths and kiosks that represent numerous tour operators.
These latter two options offer you the opportunity compare prices and features of the tours offered by various companies, and additionally these vendors may be willing to negotiate on the price. However, be aware that some of these tourist kiosks that are offering free tickets or deals that seem to good to be true during "normal" economic times, are often in the time-share or fractional ownership business. However to get these fantastic deals you must attend a sales presentation at their hotel or development. Although some visitors feel this is worth their time, we've heard that sometimes these presentations can last much longer than the 90 - 120 minute estimate time you are, so consider all options.
For the most part, day cruises offer the some or all of the following elements: the cruise, an open bar, food (such as snacks, continental breakfast and/or lunch), upbeat music, a fun-loving crew, dancing, deck games and a party atmosphere. Itineraries can include snorkeling with fins, masks and snorkels that are stored onboard, and/or stop at a picturesque beach destination such as the seaside villages of Quimixto, Caletas, Los Animas or Yelapa, some of which have a waterfall in the jungle that you can hike to. The cost of lunch may be included in your ticket price, however on some tours you may need to pay for your own lunch and/or beverages on land, so check to make sure what's included in the ticket price. Optional activities at an additional price may include scuba diving, helmet diving, swimming with the sea lions, sea kayaking and horseback riding.
The options are endless, so do your research and enjoy a fabulous day on the water.
