He always knew he would betray her...
Anya Korbin was only sixteen when she first came to Del-Rey Delgado - the genetically altered rebel known as the Coyote Ghost. For six years they plotted to free a group of Coyote women kept in Anya's father's lab. As Anya matured into a woman she and Del-Rey grew close...but on the day of the ambush, he broke his promise and shot her father.
Filled with rage over the betrayal, Anya discovers an even stronger emotion is consuming her mind and body - the animalistic desire known as mating heat. Though Del-Ray feels it with same intensity, Anya questions whether she can forgive him or trust him again. As they stealthily maneuver to bring the freed Breeds to safety, one question reigns supreme: Can Anya and Del-Rey survive their own heat?
Lora Leigh continues to reign supreme! I fall more and more in love with this author and her amazing writing with each novel she releases. 'Coyote's Mate' brought forth within me a surge of emotions while satisfying my insatiable need for great erotica. While humor is easy to open within me, bringing tears to my eyes is a much more difficult endeavor. At first I feared that I was going to have to grade 'Coyote's Mate' really low because the hero, Del-Rey, really pissed me off on several occasions and in all honesty I don't believe that he groveled enough for his heroine. Maybe I should revoke my assigned A grade status...? Nah, this book made me cry! It deserves an A. Besides, emotion in the reader is what authors hope to inspire and Lora Leigh did her job splendidly.
Anya Korbin is a familiar character in Leigh's large collection of heroines. Young, beautiful, and of course - terrified of the strong and abundant sensations brought upon her by the hero. But Anya was the first heroine, to my knowledge, to truly show the hero what he was losing by way of his ignorance.
Raised in the Council Labs by her father, head of security and Breed training, Anya befriended five Coyote females. In hopes of their rescue, Anya contacts the Coyote Ghost, a.k.a. Del-Rey Delgado and Coyote Alpha. At sixteen, first contact is made. It's not until six years later that Anya's hopes finally come to fruition but at a price. Del-Rey's previous promises that he would not kill or harm Anya's father and three cousins unless the outcome of the exraction necessitated it, is tested. Yet when all hell breaks lose, Del-Rey breaks the trust and faith that his previous pledges instilled. Instead, Del-Rey not only unnecessarily shoots Anya's family, not to kill but to wound, but he also kidnaps her and forces her to accept his hormone laced kiss. Plunged ruthlessly into foreign sensations, Anya can't refuse when Del-Rey acts upon the lust riding them both so hard, leaving Anya cold afterward.
Now, in the U.S. and at the Wolf compound of Haven, Anya petitions the Breed tribunal for separation from her mate, Del-Rey, a petition that has never before occurred. Claiming that not only can Anya not trust her mate, but that her emotions and willpower have been raped by the mating heat and thereby taking away her rational. Granted: Anya will receive one year to acclimate to her new role as Coya to the Coyote Breed and mate to Alpha Del-Rey Delgado.
Now eight months later, Del-Rey misses his mate and is ready to fully claim her. The agreement never stated in writing the full amount of time for acclimation. Back at Base, Del-Rey has arrived to claim what's his whether Anya is ready or not.
The hurt of Del-Rey's betrayal has receded for the most part over the last eight months and Anya's heart no longer feels like it's breaking in two. Except the ever present cold that had seeped into her bones since Del-Rey's enforcer position had taken him away from her has become more than she can bear. Reconciled to the fact that they needed to work things out, Anya stays on Base for Del-Rey's arrival as opposed to transferring to Haven each time before.
Del-Rey and Anya's first few confrontations are as hilarious as they are entertaining. Del-Rey loves to get a rise out of his little coya by purposefully igniting her temper with sarcastic little endearments such as cupcake or cuddle bunny. Here's my favorite involving cuddle bunny:
"Fine, I'll sleep in your bed with you." He shrugged. "Either way, you're gonna be my cuddle bunny for a week. It gets damned cold at night for some reason, Coya. You can keep me warm."
His what? His cuddle bunny?
"Oh, you are so reaching," she said scathingly. "Warm your ass on a brick, because it's not getting in my bed."
And of course when these two get heated up they scorch the sheets in bed. Del-Rey is quite the lover and he certainly makes up for the pain of their first time. But his arrogance soon seeps into their burgeoning courtship. Bound and determined to protect Anya at all costs, Del-Rey feels that by publicly rejecting Anya as his Coya he will keep assassins at bay. It's a known fact that the high ranking wives and lovers of the Breeds are the most targeted. Of course he'll be sure that in private Anya knows her true place and that she will slowly come to understand his decision and agree that her protection is what's most important. Boy does his plan backfire and it's very outcome brought this reader to tears.
Publicly rejected, Anya becomes known amongst the Breed as Del-Rey's whore. His systematic rescission of all rights and duties once held as the Coya allows suspicion and separation to brew within the Coyotes at Base. Left only to be a glorified housekeeper, Anya's bright light within her soul has begun to grow dark with pain. And as disrespect is thrown her way and tempers snap, Anya soon finds herself in a very dangerous situation and a physical altercation takes place with one of Del-Rey's Coyote soldiers. Del-Rey's ignorance had created a conspiracy of betrayal within his ranks against Anya for surely no Coyote Alpha would reject his mate unless she had done something truly wrong to deserve it.
Broken hearted once again and physically hurt, Anya flees with her bodyguards to finish one last task that will probably leave her locked in cell forever. Going against her Alpha's express orders, Anya has gone behind his back to contact two Council scientists that she worked with in the Russian labs. The genetics of the Coyote Breed are just different enough from Wolf to make treatment of them difficult and sometimes life threatening. Thinking ahead and the possibility of a child, Anya wants to make sure that Base and the Coyotes have their own qualified medical staff. But this is something that Del-Rey can't allow because the only thing that he hates more than humans is human Council scientists. Having put a bullet in every previously known Coyote scientist, Anya, fearing their lives, asks Alpha Wolf Gunnar to grant them asylum and housing at Haven. Asylum granted. But when personal contact is made by Anya, a traitor shows himself and his plans aren't pleasant.
Some of my favorite characters in 'Coyote's Mate' were Anya's hilarious but brutally loyal female Coyote bodyguards, Sharone, Emma, and Ashley. While as Breeds, one would assume that one of their kind would hold the rank as leader, but it's the little human Anya that leads this pack of fierce ladies. But it's not only her leadership that the girls need, it's Anya's companionship and sheer light that she's brought to their lives. Horribly abused in the labs, Anya promised the then young girls dressed in rags, that she would make sure that one day they would wear pretty clothes, have nice beds to sleep on, and good food to eat. It's the fact that Anya kept her promises even though those very same promises could have brought upon her death.
On the other hand, Del-Rey is not my favorite Leigh hero, but in the end he did make sure that things were put to rights again for his mate. Oh, and I forgot, he does get down on his knees at one point. But still, he was cruel in his complete ignorance of what Anya needed. Some of this was of course due to his Council lab upbringing but he really did piss me off a number of times.
Ms. Leigh does dangle the bait for this obsessed reader at the end of the novel with a glimpse of our next hero: one very sexy Bengal and his mate Cassa, a journalist. His story, 'Bengal's Heart', is scheduled to release this August.
'Coyote's Mate' was a fabulous addition to Lora Leigh's Breeds and I can't wait for the next installment.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
The term trisomy is used to describe the presence of three chromosomes, rather than the usual pair of chromosomes. For example, if a baby is born with three #21 chromosomes, rather than the usual pair, the baby would be said to have "trisomy 21." Trisomy 21 is also known as Down syndrome. Other examples of trisomy include trisomy 18 and trisomy 13. Again, trisomy 18 or trisomy 13 simply means there are three copies of the #18 chromosome (or of the #13 chromosome) present in each cell of the body, rather than the usual pair.
Trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 are genetic disorders that present a combination of birth defects including severe mental retardation, as well as health problems involving nearly every organ system in the body. Unfortunately, 90 percent of babies born with trisomy 18 or 13 die by age 1. It is important to note that 5 to 10 percent of babies with trisomy 18 or 13 do survive the first year of life. Therefore, these disorders are not universally fatal and, in the absence of any immediate life-threatening problems, accurate predictions of life expectancy are difficult to make. There are a few reports of babies with trisomy 18 or 13 surviving to their teens, however, this is unusual.
Trisomy 18 is also called "Edwards syndrome," named after the physician who first described the disorder. Trisomy 13 is called "Patau syndrome," in honor of the physician who first described it.
Usually each egg and sperm cell contains 23 chromosomes. The union of these creates 23 pairs, or 46 total chromosomes at the time of fertilization. In this manner, a person receives exactly half of their genetic material from each parent. Sometimes, an error occurs when an egg or sperm cell is forming, causing it to have an extra chromosome #18 or #13. When this cell contributes the extra chromosome 18 to the embryo, trisomy 18 results. When this cell contributes the extra chromosome 13 to the embryo, trisomy 13 results. The extra chromosome 18 or 13 can come from either the mother's egg cell or the father's sperm cell. The features of trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 result from having this extra chromosome 18 or 13 in each of the body's cells.
Occasionally, the extra chromosome 18 or 13 is attached to another chromosome in the egg or sperm; this is called a translocation. This is the only form of trisomy 18 or 13 that can be inherited in a family. Sometimes, a parent can carry a "balanced" rearrangement where chromosome 18 or 13 is attached to another chromosome. However, since the parent does not have any extra or missing chromosome material, they are said to have a "balanced translocation" and they are usually normal and healthy. Rarely, mosaic trisomy 18 or 13 may occur when the error in cell division occurs after fertilization. These persons have some cells with an extra chromosome 18 or 13 and others with the normal number.
Since trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 each have a unique group of characteristics, a physician may be able to determine simply by physical examination whether a baby has trisomy 18 or 13. To confirm the physical findings, a small blood sample can be taken and the chromosomes can be analyzed to determine the presence of an extra #18 or #13 chromosome.
Chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomy 18 and 13 can be diagnosed before birth by analyzing cells in the amniotic fluid or from the placenta. Fetal ultrasound during pregnancy can also give information about the possibility of trisomy 18 or 13, but ultrasound is not 100 percent accurate, since some babies with trisomy 18 and 13 may look the same on ultrasound as those without the syndrome. A chromosome analysis, whether performed on a blood sample, cells from the amniotic fluid, or placenta, is over 99.9 percent accurate.
In general, in each subsequent pregnancy, the chance of having another baby with trisomy 18 or 13 is no greater than 1 percent. The risk to have a baby with trisomy 18 or 13 increases slightly with each added year of maternal age.
After birth, the physician usually takes a blood sample from a baby suspected of having trisomy 18 or 13 to perform a chromosomal analysis (called a karyotype). This confirms the physical findings of trisomy 18 or 13 and determines the underlying chromosomal abnormality. This information is important in determining the risk in future pregnancies. (Translocation and mosaic trisomy 18 and 13 have different recurrence risks). The physician may refer parents to a genetic physician or genetic counselor who can explain the results of chromosomal tests in detail, including what the recurrence risks may be in another pregnancy and what tests are available to diagnose chromosome problems before a baby is born.
There is no cure for trisomy 18 or trisomy 13. We are not certain how to prevent the chromosomal error that causes trisomy 18 and trisomy 13. To date, there is no scientific evidence that a parent could have done anything to cause or prevent the birth of their baby with trisomy 18 or 13.
Because many babies born with trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 may not live beyond the first few days or weeks of life, it is possible that parents may have to face the fact that the baby may never go home from the hospital. Physicians and parents need to speak openly about the (in)appropriateness of intensive care procedures.
Many times parents are frightened and overwhelmed by all of the information associated with trisomy 18 and 13. Decisions surrounding the care of an infant with trisomy 18 and 13 are difficult and personal. There are many resources available to parents to help them during this time, including early intervention services, hospice care, social workers, the hospital chaplain or clergyman, and genetic counselors. Families who have or have had a baby with trisomy 18 or trisomy 13 are particularly helpful and supportive since they have experienced many of the same questions and emotions.
There are organizations across the country that provide information and support for families with children affected by trisomy 18 and trisomy 13. Visit the Support Groups page of this Web for additional information.

ISEAL Alliance
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: ISEAL Alliance
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionContribution of the ISEAL Alliance to outcomes of the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development Thematic Focus: ?Green Economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication? Context The ISEAL Alliance believes that by focusing on the theme of the Green Economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication, the Rio+20 Summit will provide an unprecedented opportunity for government, business and civil society leaders to affirm and renew their commitment to advance social and environmental justice. As part of its contribution to Rio+20 Conference preparations, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) (2011) in its report Towards a Green Economy: Pathways to Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication defines the Green Economy as one that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. UNEP (2011) notes that embracing a Green Economy paradigm will require the implementation of a comprehensive set of enabling conditions to support the transition towards a low carbon, resource-efficient and socially inclusive economic system. These enabling conditions consist of national regulations, policies, subsidies and incentives, international market and legal infrastructure, as well as trade and aid protocols. One particular set of incentives identified by UNEP relates to sustainability standards systems and the associated concepts - certification and eco-labelling. There are many examples drawn from the agriculture, forestry, fisheries, manufacturing and tourism sectors where these incentives - sustainability standards - have served as effective catalysts for green growth. Furthermore, sustainability standards can no longer be considered ?niche? approaches. They cover over ten percent of global production in key commodities and sectors, such as wild-capture fisheries, tea, coffee and bananas. The ?demonstration effect? of pioneering initiatives ? such as the Marine Stewardship Council, Fairtrade, UTZ Certified, the Rainforest Alliance / Sustainable Agriculture Network and the Forest Stewardship Council ? has provided solid ground to expand the application of sustainability standards into new commodities and sectors such as soy and other food and biomass crops, cattle, mining, tourism, carbon, water and electronic waste. This positive demonstration effect is evidenced by the number of new standards systems that have emerged in recent years. At the core of any standard system is the standard: a defined set of social, environmental, or economic criteria typically developed though multi-stakeholder processes. The standard is the foundation for green growth but it is only in its application by enterprises that the abstract criteria are translated into sustainable practices. This stage often requires significant investment in capacity building. Certification then provides a level of assurance to customers that products or services comply with the standard, thus harnessing the power of the market to deliver benefits to certified enterprises and to drive more sustainable development. Sustainability standards have enabled the market for sustainable goods and services to expand through informing consumers of products and production processes. Sustainability standards have also played a strong market leadership role in driving best practice and supporting continuous improvement. Moreover the pivotal role that sustainability standards play in the field of public procurement and the greening of government expenditure is important to note. While UNEP (2011) is supportive of sustainability standards to drive green growth, it has been observed that standards? ability to facilitate or hinder trade depends on how they are set up and managed. For example, if the criteria associated with the scheme are not locally applicable or relevant, they can be deemed as trade restrictive. Similarly this can be the case if the verification procedures associated with a scheme are unnecessarily complex and discriminate against small and medium size enterprises. For the ISEAL Alliance, these issues underscore the notion that sustainability standards are only able to make a positive contribution to green growth and sustainable development if they are credible and effective. The concept of credibility relates to: - how a standard is set - for example following a process that is consistent with the World Trade Organization (WTO) disciplines of openness, transparency and due process; - how standards compliance is verified - is the verification process impartial and independent and is the process fit for purpose; and - whether the impact of a standard is assessed - is the effectiveness of the standards system in contributing to its stated sustainability goals assessed on a regular basis and is this learning integrated into the system, including improvement of the standard over time. ISEAL has developed a number of consensus-based Codes of Good Practices that define credibility in these three spheres ? standard setting, assurance and impact assessment. As such, these Codes can be considered international reference documents for what constitutes credible social and environmental standards. With this as background, the ISEAL Alliance calls for the inclusion of a statement outlining a commitment to supporting the scaling up of credible sustainability standards as part of the outcomes of the Rio+20 Conference, with the following text: Governments, the business sector and civil society leaders all acknowledge the positive contribution that credible, effective multi-stakeholder sustainability standards can make to advance the implementation of the Green Economy concept in support of sustainable development. More specifically, the value of these market-based tools hinge on their ability to: - provide a clear pathway for producers and manufacturers to improve sustainability practices; - provide reliable benchmarks for supply chain buyers and consumers to make informed purchasing decisions; and - streamline the financial due diligence process by signalling to institutional investors and lenders that good social and environmental practices are being upheld. While sustainability standards have gained ground in recent years, in some cases representing more than ten percent of total production, they have not yet reached their full adoption potential. All governments participating in the Rio+20 Conference therefore commit to actively and comprehensively supporting the scaling up of credible sustainability standards for all commodities and sectors and in all parts of the world, especially in emerging and developing economies. They do this in line with their individual responsibilities, opportunities and constraints, duly recognising their role as actors in the public procurement sphere, facilitators of international trade, guardians of internal markets, decision makers on consumer information criteria and as initiators and supporters of international development and technical assistance. Specific government actions that could support the scaling up of sustainability standards include: a) Practising credible sustainable public procurement through setting progressive targets across all product and service categories to ensure that a large, reliable market for sustainable products and services is able to evolve. b) Building consumer confidence in sustainability standards through: - collating and disseminating information on what constitutes credible sustainability standards. For example, only standards systems that follow WTO disciplines such as those that are in compliance with ISEAL?s Standard-Setting Code can be considered credible and act as enablers of trade. - guiding corporate communication on sustainability claims and asking for measurable, verifiable and accurate information which can be substantiated by standards systems; c) Integrating sustainability standards in regulatory processes through setting legally binding rules for sustainable consumption. This should be enforced by requiring the use of credible standards to demonstrate these legal requirements have been met. An example of this approach is the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive (RED). d) Providing financial incentives for sustainably produced products or services through ensuring they receive favourable treatment by the State, such as direct subsidies, reduced tax rates, preferential tariff rates or by other means. e) Stregthening the implementation of sustainability standards systems by: - directly supporting company implementation, e.g. concessionary-rate loans for producers, support for small farmers through capacity building activities. - developing the supporting infrastructure for standards implementation by providing support structures and services with regards to accreditation and certification processes, registration as well as through building extension services to prepare producers to engage with sustainability standards.

Student Profile: Carley Parker
Published: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 2:06 p.m.
Carley Parker is an involved, determined sophomore who attends West Davidson High School. She is driven, talented and dedicated to her school, community and future. Parker successfully balances schoolwork, homework, sports and other activities. Academic excellence is very important to her, as evident by her being ranked 13th in her class. She is also very concerned with her future and hopes to enter the medical field.
What types of extracurriculars are you involved in?
"I play volleyball and I also do a lot of volunteering. I am in three school clubs, HOSA, FCA and Student Council. I have also been in a few productions by Lexington Youth Theatre."
What colleges interest you?
"I've looked into attending medical schools like Wake Forest University, High Point University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Salem College."
What careers would you like to pursue?
"I am interested in becoming an obstetrician."
Who or what inspires you to do your best?
"My mom inspires me because she has always been there for me and has always been strong through everything. She has never faltered or ran from the hard things in life. She's taught me to stay strong because if I keep my head up, nothing can bring me down. God also inspired me because he made me who I am. I may have trouble, but he is and will always be there. When I'm sad, upset, scared or just troubled, I have somewhere to go and someone to turn to."
What do you enjoy most about being involved in your school and community?
"I love the social aspect of it, being able to do good things with your friends or while making new ones. I also love sharing and learning with others."
What is the most important thing you've learned in high school?
"The most important thing I've learned is to be yourself and never give up. High school is where you find out who you really are and if you act like someone you're not, that's not you. You have to love who you are."

Ok, now that school is done for most of us, I was considering starting up the pokemon league to some degree. In about a month I will start it anyway, even if I have to do it by myself, but hopefully I can get a few of you to join up. I need about 4 other people, that can be active at least once a week to battle.
This is sort of a trail or a prep run, in the fall when the new games come out, I hope to start a big league to really get some activity, but for now, I want to use the summer to get the system ready.
so who is in?

Overall Experience
Great property with wonderful spacious suites
ByBret 31
15 April 2016
This property is located close to Disney Springs. A shuttle is provided to the Disney parks, however it doesn't run every hour so you might be better off driving to the parks. The suites are amazing, clean, plenty of room for a family and having the bedrooms at opposite sides of the suite is nice. Highly recommended!!
Perfect Family Suite
ByD. Gar
15 April 2016
I can highly recommend Staybridge Suites®
Lake Buena Vista. From the moment you enter, to shuttles to Disney Parks, Breakfast and check out. It was so refreshing not to worry about those particular items that can make the vacation a little stressful. From all the hotels that I have stayed, Staybridge Suites®
Lake Buena Vista has been the most impressive one.
Keep up the good work.

I have been seduced back to valves and recently went on a mission to find a new power amp to drive the AG's. I heard some lovely kit, including Kondo and some unobatnium DIY stuff, but finally settled on Living Voice's reworking of the Argento. This unit has some of Kevin's finest handiwork and components inside and is intended to appeal to the buyer that doesn't have the £50k+ budget needed to get into Gaku-on/Gaku-oh territory.
The most obvious addition is a separate external filament heater power supply connected by an umbilical to the main unit. Art Audio supply the Argento to LV 70% built and Kevin does the rest. Inside is the full complement of foo and faerie magic.
The amp was primarily designed with OBX-RW speakers in mind, so the specs naturally favour that speaker - PSE 300b kicking out 20W. On paper this shouldn't really work with the Nano's having too high an input sensitivity, too much gain and too much power. But despite everything, it does!
I often felt a vague sense of confusion and disappointment on leaving Definitive's wonderful listening rooms, that room differences aside, I could never really get close to the musical presentation they achieve there. However with the M7/Argento combination I feel I have made huge strides towards it. The sound carries the wonderful SET characteristics of beautiful tone, ease and naturalness. Crucially though, the Argento has a massive room-filling quality to the presentation, and it has the balls needed to really rock out when needed. Until the next forum fad appears, this one has certainly cured the box swappingitis.
Thanks to coco-san, I have some great pics from a listening session we had on Friday night. Cheers matey

Hyphema refers to blood in the anterior chamber of the eye. The anterior chamber is the front section of the eye's interior where fluid flows in and out, providing nourishment to the eye and surrounding tissues. A hyphema is usually caused by a trauma to the eye but can also occur spontaneously in children with other medical problems. Blood is seen in the eyeball. This is a medical emergency and immediate medical care is necessary.
Symptoms of hyphema include blood visible in the eye, usually following some type of trauma to the eye.
The symptoms of hyphema may resemble other eye conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually made after a complete medical history and physical examination of your child's eye.
Specific treatment for a hyphema will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Most children with a hyphema will be treated in an emergency room. An ophthalmologist (physician who specializes in comprehensive eye care) may be involved in the care of the child. Treatment may include:
The following are some of the complications that may occur from a hyphema:

If there is 25% chance for event A to happen and there is a 25% chance for event B to happen...What is the % probability for both event A and B to happen.

If they're independent, their probability should have been P(A)*P(B) = $\frac {1}{16}$
If they are independent, then the probability of both is the product of the two probabilities.
If they are not independent all you can say is P(A and B)<= min [(P(A), P(B)]. This will be true even if they are independent. I thought that A and B can be constructed to have a certain type of dependence such that any value less than or equal to
min[(P(A), P(B)] possible making it a tight upper bound. But Dilip pointed out that if you choose A and B so that P(A)+P(B)>1 then P(A and B) must be greater than 0 and certainly such A and B can be found..

So thinking about this and trying to make sense of it. I was looking at the current situation and this is what I have come up with so far:
If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one;
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns banned;
If a conservative doesn't like a tv show, he doesn't watch it;
If a liberal doesn't like a tv show, he wants it taken off the air;
If a conservative comes upon hard times, he thinks of ways to better his situation;
If a liberal comes up on hard time, he finds someone to blame and says they should take care of them;
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat;
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants to regulate the sale of meat or attempts to ban it alltogether;
If a conservative doesn't believe in God, he doesn't go to church;
If a liberal doesn't believe in God, he wants any mention of God or religion silenced (unless you aren't Christian, being anti-any other religion would make you culturally insensative)
If a white conservative doesn't like President Obama, it's becasue he is racist;
If a black liberal doesn't like President Bush, it's because President Bush is a racist...
Trying to put my finger on the pulse of things, but it seems to me liberals seem to view the world through the eyes of someone who has been wronged, by who I don't know. But try debating liberals and they follow the same script.
1) Argue flawed facts or statistics.
(These will almost always be proven wrong by anybody with even a little knowledge of a given topic)
2) Argue making things more fair for everyone, but make it an emotional argument.
(This is easily defeated as well usually by asking "What makes you the authority on what's fair for everybody else?" or a question of that nature)
3) Argue a belief or situation that is extremely personal and emotional to either:
A. Make the other person feel bad by telling them they have offended you. Or
B. Continue to tell the other person that they will never understand because they aren't in your shoes and do this until the other person apologizes or backs down (Hint: This will involve childhood or a child in some way shape or form)
By the time option 3 comes around, any smart person has already rolled their eyes and gotten out of the conversation becasue arguing with an idiot they will always bring you down to their level and defeat you with experiance.
What I have come to believe is trying to convince them or show them the ignorance of extreme liberal faith would be like them trying to convince you that 2+2=5. Your main goal should be to take their point into consideration and use it as a tool for your next engagement.
Still trying to perfect my methods of debating a liberal, but this is what I have so far. Don't try to defeat your opponent now, prepare to defeat them 10 years from now.
We are outnumbered but definitely not outgunned.

Two things that stick in my craw
And 2. This mini spygate thing where fans took a video of practice and posted it online. The team is taking a stance that it's about maintaining a competitive advantage. At a practice that's open to the public. So they're stepping up enforcement. It's a stupid rule and makes no sense. Other than the fact the fins make no money on the deal.
5 comments
This is still *my* team, and I want them to get things right.
But pretty much everyone else who blogs about this team takes the optimistic viewpoint. I just can't do that anymore. Not with the knuckleheads in charge of this team. So, I am providing the more pessimistic view until something changes.
I'm thinking this will be another waste of a season, ending at around 6-10 and the coach (and possibly GM) being shown the door.
Meanwhile the owner and CEO are trying to build a fanbase by actively chasing people away and alienating the paying customers.
When does the madness stop?
Now, look, I'll eat crow if I'm wrong. And I would much prefer to be positive and hope they win it all. It just seems unlikely.
Old lady at the buffet. I like it. Thanks for sharing that!!!
Jose', both of these snafu's were part of the lead on NFL network and ESPN. My point is this, all he does is point out the negative, never the positive. Has the team been good the last couple of years no, but this blog just seems to point all the of the bad, even the name, Bitchin' Dave... Negative from the start.
For the record "bitchin dave" is not a reflection of who I am or what I do. If you've followed my site over the years, you'd understand that I used to be positive like everyone else, but with a humorous twist on things.
As for the name itself, as I say on bitchindave.com "I do bitch about things....sometimes. But, the name actually takes roots in an article Comedy Magician Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) wrote for PC Computing back in 1990. The article was called "Trash It" (but was called "Go Ahead. Dominate Your Pristine PC." in the title that appeared in the magazine). He basically noted that most people left their PCs exactly as they came out of the box. There was no personalization on them. I took that to heart, and put a skull and crossbones decal on mine, and later when I was running Norton Desktop for Windows 3.11, I called the shell name "Dave's Bitchin' PC" so that appeared on the screen. An idea was born, and I started Dave's Bitchin' Enterprises, and carried it along through each endeavor - and each PC - I have worked with since."
The name was catchy and people remember me by it. When I talk to anyone - team people, former players, whatnot - they all immediately know who I am. There are a LOT of Dave's out there. I think there are 4 that run dolphin blogs other than me.
Jose, thanks for the kind words. These snafus were avoidable, and didn't need to make huge headlines, and that's kinda my point. Can you imagine this happening under Shula? Or JJ for that matter?

When Hurricane Sandy began assaulting the Midland Beach area of Staten Island, Jesus Maria Aguilar, his wife Patricia and son Allan did not imagine the devastation that it would leave in its wake.
They lived in Midland Avenue right in the middle of a flood zone area but did not receive any warning or evacuation advisory leading up to the super storm. If warning signs were posted they did not understand because they were not in Spanish. "The day of the storm we were scared because we were feeling the strength and power of the storm. The wind and rain was like nothing we had ever experienced. By the time we decided to leave our apartment the water was already up to our thighs," recalls Patricia.
The Maria Aguilar family went to stay with a friend on Tompkins Avenue. Less than an hour of being in their friend's home they received a call from a neighbor informing them that their apartment building was on fire.
The family was not able to see the damage until days later after the flood waters had receded. They were told that the fire department tried to stop the fire but could not get near the building because the flood waters were too high. When the family was able to go back to their home they were totally devastated. "Nothing was left but ashes. We lost everything but the clothes on our backs and the few things we packed to weather the storm," recalled Jesus.
"I ran into the freezing water towards the building thinking that there was something I could save," said Patricia. "We work so hard for the few things we have. To see everything that we have worked for gone was incomprehensible. I was stunned."
The fire occurred when 90 mile per hour winds and rain caused an electrical short in the power line in front of the Maria Aguilar's apartment building.
For months the Maria Aguilar family lived with their nephew with no help or direction on where to go for help. Since they are undocumented they were not able to receive any federal government aid including FEMA.
"We were desperate. We had no money. I worked when I could find it. Because of my arthritis and diabetes acting up it made it very difficult to find work during this time. A neighbor told my nephew about El Centro del Inmigrante, (El Centro), about the services they provided and that it was all confidential. We immediately went and started our recovery process," said Jesus.
At El Centro the family met with Catholic Charities disaster case manager Melba Rodriguez and received immediate help, gift cards for food and basic necessities as well as the down payment for their new apartment. What they urgently needed was a refrigerator and air conditioner. The family was using plastic coolers and ice to keep their perishable food cold and edible. In early September, Jesus received $1,300 in Home Depot gift cards to purchase his refrigerator and air conditioner.
El Centro is one of the community-based agencies subcontracted by Catholic Charities to provide a locally-based disaster case manager for each family that have unmet needs related to Hurricane Sandy. El Centro addresses the needs of newly arrived immigrant day laborers and their families. Through immigrant and labor advocacy, educational workshops, labor leadership training, and emergency intervention for hunger, homelessness, health and safety needs, El Centro provides opportunities for economic empowerment, community-building and organizing.
Catholic Charities has a proven track record of managing disaster cases beginning with the 911 terror attack in 2001 then Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in late 2011. The NYS Division of Homeland Security Office of Emergency Management, (OEM), has an existing contract with Catholic Charities to manage the DCM program for the 34 counties that were impacted by the Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee and requested that Catholic Charities expand on this experience and manage the long term disaster case management program for survivors of Sandy.
The program is designed to provide a locally-based disaster case manager for each family in the 13 impacted New York counties that have unmet needs related to Hurricane Sandy. By funding networks of community-based agencies, NYS hopes to provide easy access to support residents seeking help and to avoid duplication of services.
Catholic Charities has subcontracted with 20 locally-based not-for-profit organizations with demonstrated expertise in the provision of case management services to serve impacted communities. El Centro is one of these community-based agencies funded.
Through this program Catholic Charities case manager Rodriguez has laid out a long term plan for the Maria Aguilar family that has assessed their immediate and long term situation. She has assisted them in receiving the aid that they need to get back on their feet. "The Maria Aguilar family has gone through an extremely difficult life altering situation, but they are resilient and hard working people," said Ms. Rodriguez.
"We finally feel that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, we are feeling better emotionally, physically and finally feeling hopeful for a good future. We are extremely grateful for the help that Ms. Rodriguez, Catholic Charities and El Centro has given us. I don't know what we would have done without the help" acknowledged Patricia.
"I thank God everyday that we are alive and that we suffered no injuries, material things can always be replaced. We came to this country from Acapulco, Mexico nine years ago with nothing and we have always worked hard. We will continue to build our lives. It is the only thing we can do," concluded Jesus.


text: Migs, born Miguel Steward, grew up in Santa Cruz and was playing guitar in a local reggae band named Zion Sounds when he began producing on his own. He released his first record (the Mercury Lounge EP) in 1998 on La Casa, and his mellow house tracks began showing up in DJ sets on the West Coast; a bastion of chilled house thanks to pioneering mixers like Mark Farina. Jay Denes, who had already produced a full-length as Naked Music NYC (distributed through the like-minds at San Francisco's OM), invited Migs to contribute the first release to his new Naked Music label (formed with Dave Boonshoft) and the results earned notice throughout the dance community. While Naked Music began work on a series of well-received compilations (Nude Dimensions, Carte Blanche), Migs produced for labels including Yoshitoshi, Large Music, and NRK, occasionally in tandem with DJ Rasoul (as Nite Source). He also mixed a few Naked Music compilations, including 2000's Nude Dimensions: Petalpusher Sessions and 2002's Nude Tempo One. His first full production album, Colorful You, appeared late in 2002 as part of a distribution deal with Astralwerks. ~ John Bush, Rovi

Russia : Michelin's recommendations
"Russia is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma," Winston Churchill once remarked rather mockingly. The Russian soul: now that's a subject the entire world has tried to grasp in vain. A patchwork of peoples bound together by the Orthodox Church inhabits this former empire where the tsars were known as sovereigns of "all the Russias".
The size of a continent, at the crossroads of Europe and East Asia, the largest State on the planet opened up to the outside world barely twenty years ago, after its long night of Communism. Russia, which "went from privation to privatisation," (Frédéric Begbeider), is a land of contrasts where modern cities hungry for consumer goods coexist with incommensurable rural areas where time has stopped - trendy yuppies and people bypassed by economic growth.
So where is the Russian soul? Start by looking in its "two capitals", Saint Petersburg and Moscow, which enjoy vying for first place in this regard. Then take an adventure on the Trans-Siberian that whisks you across the steppes all the way to Vladivostok in the far east. Along the way you will see Siberian tigers and Amur leopards in the Sikhote-Alin nature reserve; and you can peer deep into the waters of Lake Baikal, in the heart of Siberia. This is the oldest, the deepest and the most voluminous lake on the planet, where 90% of the species are unique in the world.

Remember that a letter from the BATFE binds them, if at all, only in favor of the addressee.
There should not be any confusion about this. The BATFE includes "muzzle attachments" (not muzzle DEVICES [check the sticky in this forum for confirmation if you need to]) as a countable part without regard to the function or lack of function. Therefore, if it attaches near the muzzle, you should consider it a muzzle attachment and count it.
Should you need further "proof" the AES-10 Bs that were equipped with a muzzle nut had them tack welded (thus making them part of the barrel). If it was not a countable part it would not have had to be welded.

Black History Month is a time to remember and honor the many groups and individuals who contributed to the success and achievements of this country as well as to advancement for African Americans as a people.
The benefits of wilderness and other public lands for modern-day flora and fauna are well-known, but conservation of wild places helps preserve traces of bygone life too,
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) recently asked President Obama to protect Mojave Trails, Sand to Snow and the Castle Mountains as national monuments in the California Desert, using presidential powers under the Antiquities Act.
In 1969, landing on the moon was a truly paradigm-shifting achievement--a real "first" both for the American public and NASA.
For Valentine's Day, the Department of Interior has started a tradition of asking the public for something rather romantic - photos and videos of marriage proposals and weddings.
The measure failed to reach the 60-vote threshold required for inclusion thanks to a bipartisan effort, as both Republican and Democratic senators opposed it.
Hundreds of people showed up to a public meeting with federal officials in Salida, Colorado, to voice their support for protecting Browns Canyon, an area in southern Colorado well known for its whitewater rafting, fishing and outdoor recreation.
The Wilderness Society joins the Department of the Interior in thanking veterans past and present for sacrifices made in service of our country.
Native American Heritage Month offers all Americans the opportunity to recognize and honor tribes who understood the value of wilderness long before European Americans ever laid eyes on bison or redwoods—
On Oct. 4th, Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC) helped us celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act by getting their hands dirty to give back to New Mexico's wilderness.
Chronic under-funding has left our nation's trail system in poor shape. Support a bill that would change that.

The Stuttgart City Council will meet Tuesday with five items on the agenda including a presentation from Johnny Lockley about the Community Partnership Grant from CenterPoint Entergy.
There was no further information included in Tuesday's agenda packet about the presentation, but the Council will meet at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Stuttgart City Hall, located at 304 S. Maple St. All Council meetings are open to the public.
The second item on the agenda comes from Stuttgart Fire Chief J.P. Jordan. He is requesting out-of-state travel from June 21 through June 23 to travel to Appleton, Wis., to Pierce Mfg. corporate headquarters where two new fire trucks are being built.
"We will go over details in a pre-construction meeting and will also be touring the production facility," Jordan explained.
Travel arrangements and expenses are being taken care of by EVS Mid South, who is selling the trucks to the department.
Dave Straus, with the Stuttgart Lions Club, is requesting to have Ricebird Lane and Harry Crawford Drive closed from 5 to 10 p.m. for the annual July 4 Fireworks Celebration.
The Stuttgart Planning Commission has sent a request for a zoning change to the Stuttgart City Council. The Planning Commission approved the request from Clinton Smith with Euclid Lodge No. 130 to change the property currently zoned B-2 to R-2 to match the rest of the property. The property is located at 1201 S. Park Avenue.
During its recent meeting, the Commission voted in favor of the request, which was made because Smith wants to sell the property as a whole.
To have an item added to the Stuttgart City Council meeting agenda call Stuttgart City Hall at (870) 673-3535.

I like this jersey
Not Flashy, but classy
Last edited by NYk_Reloaded718; Jul 19, 2012 at 15:20.
Is it just me, or would anyone else like to see us have sme kind of alternative jersey? Something in Orange or Black, I've always wanted to see that
this, to me, would be the ultimate NYK jersey:
i'm not sure where i even found this image, maybe on a UK site,
but me want one.
The new Bklyn Nets jerseys have to be the worst in the NBA.
Helluva lot better than anything they had in Jersey.
At the same time, overall, their look feels like it's missing something. I love that it's clean-cut and direct, but it just needs maybe one little thing, I can't quite put my toes on it. Maybe a third color as an accent would do it.
I LOVE the straight line on the back, separating the name and number fields. That's a great look.
the Brooklynette's uni's look like hospital gowns, perfect for scrubs.

Price: $21.95
When we published The Green Guide in 2008, Meryl Streep called it "the ultimate green living reference." Now, building on that success, here's a guide to eco-friendly parenting that's expertly organized and filled with practical advice, definitive explanations, and imaginative ideas.
Addressing the key environmental issues faced by parents of young children today, this book takes a straightforward approach to such urgent concerns as lead-painted toys; the risks and benefits of vaccinations, antibiotics, and vitamins; the potential side effects of plastic bottles and containers; how to manage food allergies and avoid fat- and sugar-filled snacks; and much more.
A trained scientist, seasoned writer, and mother of two small children, author Catherine Zandonella combines knowledge and experience as she helps parents guide youngsters through a society that doesn't always make green lifestyle choices easy. She also offers sensible advice on raising children who "think green" right from the start and shows how green choices can actually cost less.
Combining two trusted names with tried-and-true advice, this is sure to become the go-to guide for a new generation of green parents.
Catherine Zandonella, science editor of The Green Guide, has worked as a research scientist and science teacher and, more recently, has been a science writer for Newsday, Nature, and New Scientist.
"Do This, Don't Do That"
According to Green Guide Families: The Complete Reference for Eco-Friendly Parents author Catherine Zandonella, when thinking about how to go green, it is important to remember that protecting the environment and protecting your family's health go hand in hand. Just follow the simple rule, "If it is good for the planet, then it is most likely good for my child." Here are 5 simple tips to get you started.
1. Do invest in Pyrex bowls. Don't use the plastic containers to reheat food. They can go from fridge to freezer to microwave to tablepractical and attractive, and you don't have to worry about microwaving in plastic, or choosing the right kind of plastic. They last for years so you are not generating waste. (Plastic margarine tubs make great storage containers for children's craft items.)
2. When buying organic: Do choose organic soft-skinned fruits and vegetables because these are the kinds that tend to absorb pesticides into the skin. A list of the top fruits and vegetables to buy organic can be found in the book. Don't spend money on organic potato chips or cookie bars. (You are paying for packaging that ends up in the garbage).
3. Sunscreen for babies: Do dress your children and babies in "rashguards" or other sun-protective clothing. Don't lather their entire bodies with sunscreen. These should have a UPF rating (similar to the SPF rating of sunscreens). Sun-protective clothing also protects fish and aquatic life from exposure to chemicals. There is a company called Coolibar (http://www.coolibar.com) that has really cute kids' clothes and bathing suits. For older children, choose a sunscreen with titanium dioxide or zinc oxidethe white ones. These block both UVA and UVB rays and don't contain potentially harmful chemicals such as oxybenzone.
4. When hosting a party: Do use reusable plastic plates and cups. Use your own tablewareor purchase an inexpensive set for partiesinstead of buying plastic forks and spoons. You can reuse these for years, saving money as well as being able to cross one more errand off your list prior to party time. At your party: Don't buy paper goods or plastic utensils. Do use large containers of drinks, milk and water. Don't serve juice boxes and individual size drinks.
5. To freshen the air inside your home, Do eliminate odors with a box of baking soda or if you crave a scent, make some home-made potpourri. It is easy to make by saving flower petals from your garden, air-drying them, and combining them with dried orange and lemon peels. Don't buy air fresheners.

ZF-6795: Indian Rupees being shown as Rp instead of Rs.
Hi, I'm basically working on Magento that uses the Zend framework. In the version of Magento that uses Zend version 1.5.1, the Indian currency (INR) is correctly displayed as Rs. However, when I moved to a new version of Magento that uses Zend 1.7.2, the currency appears as Rp (instead of Rs.). While searching for this I came across ZF-6208 wherein there is a note that : For the locale en_IN, the currency INR is defined with the currency sign "Rp". Any help in expediting a fix for this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
ZF 1.9 uses latest database from Unicode. See unicode.org/cldr for details.
For the english language the sign for the currency INR is "₨"... note that this is not a R and a p but one single unicode character which reads ₨.
You should also note that the sign depends ALWAYS on the used language. For english the sign of IRN is ₨ For kannada the sign of IRN is रु and so on. It differs for languages and regions.
Still, when you need to have another sign feel free to set the currency string to use manually. Look into the manual for Zend_Currency to see how this can be archived.
Please note additionally that Magento is not part of ZF and will therefor not be supported by us.
Closing as non-issue
Hi Thomas, Thanks for the note and the link to unicode.org. The main issue is that the currency sign for the INR is Rs and so I created a bug at the unicode site (bug id 2239). They have apparently fixed it in the latest 1.7.1 release. You can see the diff here : http://unicode.org/cgi-bin/bugdiffs.pl/… Is there a way to let me know when you will be releasing with 1.7.1? Is that even necessary or can I just use the latest xml files? Thanks a lot.
Cheers --Param
