College Hockey:Lakers, NTDP Team Skate To Exhibition Tie
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. — Lake Superior State, the least-penalized team in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, gave up three power-play goals in a 3-3 tie with the U.S. Under-18 squad during Friday's exhibition game at Taffy Abel Arena.
The Lakers (6-7-5) and the Under-18ers have skated to a draw each of the last two years. The U.S. squad is 15-14-3 overall, 6-11-3 against college teams and 0-4-1 against CCHA opponents.
Both teams scored a goal in each period. Team USA finished 3-for-4 on the power play, while the Lakers were 1-for-5. LSSU outshot the U.S., 35-31.
Matt Auffrey, who has signed a national letter of intent with Wisconsin, opened the scoring at 17:41 of the first period. Laker freshman Matt Restoule answered with an even-strength goal at 17:50.
Restoule scored again at 4:18 to give the Lakers a 2-1 lead, but Team USA's Jason DeSantis tied it with a goal at 18:44.
Tom Fritsche, an Ohio State signee, gave the U.S. a 3-2 lead at 7:49 as Michigan signees Bryan Lerg and Kevin Porter picked up their second assists.
Laker freshman Jeffrey Rainville rounded out the scoring with LSSU's only power-play goal at 9:01 of the third period.
Rainville, Trent Campbell, Nathan Ward, Tim Krueckl, Colin Nicholson and Barnabas Birkeland picked up assists for LSSU.
Team USA goalie Jordan Pearce totaled 32 saves. LSSU starting goaltender Matt Violin had eight saves through 28:52 and left the game with the Lakers leading, 2-1. Jeff Jakaitis entered the game in the second period and totaled 20 saves in 36:08.
LSSU and Team USA combined for three shots on goal in the overtime period.
The Lakers resume CCHA play next Friday and Saturday at Ohio State.

Almost immediately after Atlantis departed following its mission to install an addition on the home in space, station Commander Yury Usachev, and Flight Engineers Jim Voss and Susan Helms began unpacking and stowing supplies delivered by Atlantis, while at the same time beginning to prepare for the arrival of their replacement crew.
The Expedition Three crew consists of Commander Frank Culbertson, Pilot Vladimir Dezhurov and Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin. The three will be delivered aboard Discovery by its crew of Commander Scott Horowitz, Pilot Rick Sturckow and Mission Specialists Dan Barry and Pat Forrester.
The STS-105 and Expedition Three crews will travel to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida Sunday and the countdown begins Monday.
While Discovery's countdown to launch to the ISS is set to begin, half a world away at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the fifth Progress supply craft is being readied for launch Aug. 21 followed Sept. 15 by the launch of the next station component - a Russian docking compartment named Pirs, the Russian word for pier.
Expedition Two Commander Yury Usachev, Voss and Helms also continue to oversee a variety of science investigations while packing for the trip home.
The International Space Station (ISS) is orbiting in excellent shape at an altitude averaging 240 miles (385 km).

Another Federal Government devastating attack on hard working Australian retirees and their families – this time from both Labor and the Greens. And it is so sneaky ….. go after a persons Super when they die … and you can effectively have a massive new death duty TAX.. but in disguise! They will not use that term… "Death Duty" Of course!….But it is a Distinction without a Difference!
Many years ago, back around 1985, the Labor Party abolished death duties as this was essentially obscene. Sort of …robbing from dead people.
In its place was Capital Gains Tax which of course came into place on 20th September 1985.
Well DEATH DUTIES folks is making a comeback it seems as the Labor government under madam Julia and The Greens now seek to bring this back. But in a very sneaky and typically underhanded way, they will not be directly hitting us when we die. No.
They will be attacking our second largest asset – our superannuation fund!
Under Income Tax Ruling TR 2011/03 when a person dies having a superannuation account, the Australian Tax Office will seek to assess the underlying assets of a superannuation fund for Capital Gains Tax on top of any lump sum tax that will be payable at least at 15% plus medicare.
This effectively implies that your superannuation fund death benefit could by the time this goes to your family be short of up to as much as 40% of your account balance.
So I went to the source, Labors own website to remind myself of those words….Labor Values and I read and of course reflected on their own words.
This government according to Madam Julia " I'm the best person for this job" Gillard states on Labors Website that:
" Australia's superannuation system is unique and provided an important source of finance for Australian businesses during the global financial crisis. But we need to ensure our superannuation savings are enough to provide a secure and dignified retirement to working Australians in the future."
So I ask simply – why thieve money we have saved for our retirement and ultimately our family with this death tax ? – How simply disgusting and cruel is this thought bubble.
Surely we should be allowed to leave our hard earned asset, for most of us this is our second largest asset to our family.
While perusing the slogans of Labor via their own website on the topic of retirement, it says:
"The Government will increase the superannuation guarantee to 12 per cent. This is expected to benefit around 8.4 million employees. The Government will also extend the superannuation guarantee to cover older workers up to age 75."
The fact is that a 33% rise in superannuation payments does not come magically from the government. It comes from the small business owners who are struggling to survive. If costs increase to business, jobs will be lost.
Also the reason why the government has extended coverage to older Aussies is simply because many are struggling to make ends meet and are back in the workforce at such a late stage in life because the bills are getting larger than the age pension affords them and as a veiled admission of this governments incompetence in pursuit of a Carbon Tax, they also realize that many older folk will be hit hard by such an abhorrent tax which is the largest of its type on Planet Earth.
Other slogans on this same page says:
"The government will also improve the fairness of the superannuation through a new concession worth up to $500 for 3.5 million low income earners who currently get no superannuation concession for their compulsory savings."
A couple of points on this one:
The first is the statistic of 3.5 million low income workers.
A quick look at the Australian Bureau of Statistics website and you will know that we have 11.44 Million workers.
So if 3.5 Million are on low incomes with no superannuation support, then that implies a little over 30% of the working population is on a low income.
Which begs the question… that is , – you then put a carbon tax into the mix you will not only make the lives of this 3.5 Million low paid workers hell …..but you will also destroy further jobs as companies will move offshore or employ technology to make a profit at the expense of more workers as their costs rise.
Further on the website:
"The government recognizes that many older Australians wish to make catch-up contributions to superannuation and will double the contributions cap to $50,000 from 2012-13 for people aged over 50 with balances under $500,000. "
Now this is not just irresponsible but plain dumb and again has nothing to with anything but short term theft.
Under the Howard Costello reforms, if you were over 50, you could make contributions under a salary sacrifice regime with your employer for up to $50,000 per annum. Regardless of your account balance.
Now, the simple bleeding obvious would state that if you put more away for your retirement, you may not need a pension thereby saving the taxpayer money plus you have a better retirement.
So, instead of you paying tax at marginal rates up to 45% you would only pay 15%. Nice.
So you save tax, you help yourself in retirement and the government does not have to hit taxpayers to fund a pension. Win win in other words.
Under Labors thought bubble, you are limited to what you can put into super as if you step over their stupid limit of $500,000 you will be penalised. By the way the cap value is $25,000 for those aged over 50 with balances OVER $500,000. That's right $25,000!!! …..this will be devastating…. Ask you advisor.
So under this thought bubble with no vision, you would pay more in taxes depending on where you sat in the equation, your retirment would be underfunded, you would be more dependent on the age pension and you would be compelled to work due to rising costs perhaps until 75.
Excuse me for saying this – but ...Does this seem dumb to you ? … Me to!
By the way, the $50,000 limit is NOT NEW. Its been there for a long time. It was created by the Howard Government.
And finally… the website says more spin and BS ….
"These changes are expected to increase Australia's pool of superannuation savings by $85 billion over the next ten years and are projected to increase the retirement benefit of an average worker aged 30 by $108,000."
So, assuming this "average worker" aged 30 retired at say, 65 my question would be:
Under rising inflation, how much would $108,000 buy him if say inflation ran at say 3% per annum???
Not a hell of a lot….a used car perhaps….
After all consider a postage stamp once cost 7 cents in 1971 is now 60 cents !
But, our current savings in superannuation is well over $1 Trillion dollars
So, if superanuation savings were to rise by $85 Billion over 10 years
and you applied death duties to this amount of money….
I think you can see the picture……
Labor and the Greens want to get your money!
Bottom line is this. This is your money. Its what you and I save for a prosperous retirement and for the benefit of ourselves and our family.
I'm willing to pay my fair share of taxes but… like you I'm sick and fed up of these mindless thought bubbles coupled with no vision from a bunch of incompetant fools hurting myself as an individual, as a business owner and now my family as well.
Tell this government to leave our retirement savings alone.
The numbers guy

"I got it in the mail today and I'm more than happy!
I was afraid the pants may have been too large when ordering it but they fit perfectly; just like the rest.
I bought this along with the wig and headphones, and everything is perfect.
It's really comfortable to wear and the leg and arm warmers stay up with no problem!
It came in the mail 2 weeks earlier than I thought, too.
I'm really happy I bought my first cosplay here. Thanks a lot. "

I know some ISFJs who are some of the most passive aggressive people I know. Is this a trait of an immature ISFJ? I notice that SFJs drop passive aggressive hints whenever they are upset and disguise them as sarcasm.
p.s. sorry for all the negative topics, I think I have some really immature ISFJ friends and I am just trying to understand them better.

Pocketchangeapparel.com is now fully live. This is a project that I'm proud of for a number of reasons. The cause that it supports is one that is close to my heart, I got a chance to flex my creative muscles, and I expanded my experience in PHP development and WordPress customization.
Pocket Change Apparel is an online clothing store and half the proceeds from every sale go towards sponsoring children through Compassion Canada (a World Vision type of organization). Kristen and I have our sponsor child through Compassion, and the work they do is truly amazing. Pocket Change was founded by Jared Henriques (@JaredHenriques) and I became connected by a recomendation from a friend and past client. The discovery and design phases of this project were a ton of fun and I fiddled with several styles before settling on the final motif for the site. Once design was signed off on the real nuts and bolts had to be put together, and I employed my new best friend in WordPress cms, the power of WordPress beyond simply blog moderation is pretty amazing, and the plugin support makes it a dream to configure functionality that would normally take much longer to develope.
I'm glad to see this site finally live and poised to make a difference in the lives of children around the world.
The official launch of the website will be on May 29 when there will be a evening event at Springvale Baptist church in stouffville.

This NASA video segment explains how gravity affects the way a candle burns. Viewers learn that on Earth convective forces work in conjunction with gravity to create the characteristic teardrop flame of a candle. Conversely, in the microgravity of space, the candle flame is spherical because the convective forces are nonexistent. The segment also discusses the ways in which combustion research in microgravity can help combat fires and reduce pollution on Earth.

text: The French set much store on good daylight observation of artillery fire and consequently favoured daylight attacks. Later the British, after an over-concentration on night assaults (not all wholly successful), came to recognise the value of afternoon attacks which allowed the mornings to be used for observing the effects of bombardments. Afternoon attacks, as well as offering a variant pattern for assaults, were, it was argued, better served by the timing as they allowed for consolidation work to be conducted in the fading light of dusk which would mask activity to the enemy.

Linton Villa
at Pawleys Plantation Resort, situated in the beautiful South Carolina Lowcountry on Pawleys Island, SC. Built on the grounds of a former rice plantation, the resort is located on South Carolina's Grand Strand, a sweep of magnificent beaches and wildlife areas between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, SC.
Pawleys island claims to be the oldest resort area in America. Whether or not that's true, early vacationers were distinguished. South Carolina Lowcountry was home to the most affluent planters on the continent. They didn't grow tobacco, or even cotton. Rice and indigo (used for a blue dye) were the crops of choice. To excape the heat and malaria of their mainland plantations, the rice royalty moved their families to cottages on Pawleys Island for the summer.
Remarkably, some of the cottages are still in use. Nine of them comprise the Pawleys Island "Historic District". The rest of the narrow island barely keeps some 600 houses (no stores) out of the water. They are used, just as in the planters´ days, mostly by summer dwellers.
Pawleys Plantation Resort is a gated community surrounding a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, and is just a five minute drive from the beach. The screened porch and adjacent patio of the Linton Villa overlook the 9th hole of the golf course. The Villa itself is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation with all of the amenities you would expect from an exceptional resort.

Building on Dogfish Head's history of collaborating with like-minded artists and companies, Billy Reid is releasing two limited-edition T-shirts painted by Dogfish founder Sam Calagione.
Like Pearl Jam, Askinosie Chocolate, Grain Surfboards, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and other Dogfish collaborators, Billy Reid falls right in line with Dogfish's off-centered outlook.
"From the clothing designs to the antique store furnishings, we love that Billy Reid pulls from the past to make something new," says Calagione. "At Dogfish Head, we often revive ancient brewing practices or ingredients into compelling new ales, so we feel a great affinity for their creative spin on a timeless aesthetic."
Calagione, who has painted the label art for Festina Peche, Namaste and Noble Rot, was inspired to create two new Dogfish designs:
Tigerfish: A simplified and more aggressive version of the Dogfish logo with no words and a slightly asymmetrical jauntiness.
Brew Magic: A celebration of the interaction of science, art and magic that brings creative ideas to life, whether its a waxed-cotton hunting jacket, a love poem to Camellia blossoms or a raisin-infused brown ale.
Like Dogfish's artisanal ales, these T-shirts are made with unconventional craftsmanship that makes them worth the investment. The artwork is applied in a process known as flocking, which takes four times as long as simple screenprinting and gives the art a raised texture and appearance. The shirts are also enzyme-washed, giving them a worn-in-for-years feel. Not your average Beefy-T.
Billy Reid's modern approach to traditional American sportswear bears its authenticity in its Southern roots and a workwear-influenced heritage. Reid's twists on classics such as hand-tailored suiting, hunting-inspired outerwear, classic shirting, and sportswear made to endure a lifetime represent the core of his men's, women's, and accessories collections. In 2010, Billy became the first designer to win the GQ /CFDA Best New Designer in America Award and the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund for his namesake collection.
The $56 shirts will be available at billyreid.com and at all Billy Reid stores on Oct. 19. Have a beer with Calagione at the launch party from 5 to 6 that evening at the Billy Reid shop at 54 Bond St. in New York City.

Dear Green Wave Fans,
As 2012 kicks off I want to update our supporters on Tulane Athletics' latest news as well as some of our department's top priorities for the New Year. 2011 closed with a bang as we announced Curtis Johnson as the new head coach of Tulane Football and, just a few days later, launched the Home Field Advantage campaign with the new Tulane Stadium as the centerpiece.
These announcements signify the beginning of an exciting new journey for Tulane Athletics and we need all of you to join with us in supporting these efforts. The Home Field Advantage campaign is the mechanism to do so – there are opportunities for everyone to participate, whether that is a gift to TAF – Home Field Advantage, the stadium fund, the restricted football fund including endowed funds, by purchasing 2012 season tickets, or by participating in our "text-to-give" campaign (see the video at the bottom of the page). The point is we need you on board if you believe that a successful athletics program is important to our university.
We will keep you updated on the campaign and stadium progress at www.TulaneStadium.com so check back frequently. We recently launched a News section on its home page which will include updates on everything from stadium design, which will be underway throughout the spring, to construction ground-breaking, as well as our fundraising benchmarks and detailed information regarding seating in the new stadium. The first edition chronicles Tom Davis, the official Tulane University barber for over 50 years, who recently challenged Tulanians across the country to support this effort.
Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel recently praised the hiring of Coach Johnson in his review of college football's new coaching hires and based on the formulation of his new staff and some early recruiting success I'm pleased to report that I agree with his analysis. Next Wednesday, February 1, is National Signing Day and we will celebrate Coach Johnson's first recruiting class with a free event from 6-7:30pm in the WOW Café located in the basement of the Lavin-Bernick Center on campus. Come out and meet Coach Johnson and his staff and enjoy free food and beverages while learning about the next group of Tulane football student-athletes.
The 2012 football schedule has just been released and the Green Wave will host seven home games this season with non-conference dates against Rutgers, Ole Miss and UL-Monroe and C-USA games against SMU, UAB, Rice and East Carolina. The homecoming date will be released soon but you can check out the complete schedule now by clicking here.
I'll be in touch next month with some new information and another update on the campaign and stadium progress. In the meantime, feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Roll Wave!
P.S. Don't miss out on your chance to attend Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis! Get your raffle tickets here. All proceeds benefit Tulane University.

Day #227—I fell off track there for a while…
Monday, August 06, 2012
Hey everyone as you have obviously been able to tell I didn't keep up with my goals for myself challenge. I've just been so busy lately, and I know that that can't be an excuse, because life is always busy, but that's my excuse. I've had so much going on, and I just got lazy. I guess that's the reason why I fell off track. I just got lazy. I mean in all actuality my goals were simple. They were to write everything about my healthy life down in a journal including what I eat, and my fitness. Those goals should have been so attainable, they are difficult goals at all, but I couldn't do it. I guess you can call me a quitter, because that's exactly what I did. I quit. I would try so hard to eat healthy, and I would wind up being hungry at the end of the day so I would just stuff my face. I guess the way I saw it why be hungry when there is food in the house and I can just stuff my face with it. I was a quitter. I'm ready to start over…again. I'm going to keep it simple, or as simple as possible. Here are my goals for the next 30 days, and these next 30 days start tomorrow.
1.)Take a picture of myself every day to keep track of my progress.
2.)Journal everyday what I eat, and how much I eat of each thing.
3.)Journal every day the exercise that I do.
4.)Weigh in everyday (at least until college) and write it in my journal.
These are my goals, for the next 30 days these are my goals. I know that to many of you these goals seem dumb, and you are far past them, but for me I think that the first 30 days is the key. I need to start slow, and I need to start with these 30 days. I'm not asking myself to track my calories because I know that I will probably just quit, because that can be tiresome sometimes. Right now I just want to write everything down, and if there are days where I want to track then that's what I will do, but I don't expect myself to track every day, and I don't intend to make myself. Hopefully I will blog on a regular basis, but I'm not going to make that a priority due to everything that I have going on right now. Hopefully these goals will motivate me even farther in the future. I mean it is only 30 days after all, and what is 30 days in the grand scheme of things? Not a long time.
Here is an update on everything that I've been up to lately. I started talking to a firefighter at the end of June. He's a great deal older than me, but he treats me like a princess. I've never been treated as amazingly as he treats me. He makes me feel special, and I haven't felt that way in a very long time. We are still talking, and it's been a little over a month now, so I'm excited that things are still going so well, and that he still gives me butterflies. I've been working my butt of trying to get ready for fair working my animals, and giving them baths and everything like that. It truly is crunch time. I've also been getting everything organized for school, although I have yet to do a whole lot of shopping for school yet. I have my bedding though, but I definitely need new clothes because mine are just disgusting. I only have two pairs of jeans that I can wear off of the farm, and most of my shirts have stains on them from the farm. Hopefully I'll be able to go discount shopping at the mall and the outlets soon. Plus I have to buy all of my toiletries and things like that. I did however buy my books and I three of them have already arrived; now I'm just looking for three more to come in the mail! I also finished up my application for my student loan today, and should hear about that sometime in the next 5 days. Hopefully that comes through because I am desperate for money for school. This weekend we have our state dairy judging competition and I feel so unprepared! I need to study my butt of this week, and put it into overdrive because there isn't much time left! On another note, this morning I got a call from a lady I babysit for occasionally, and her normal weekday babysitter broke her shoulder or something like that, and so I went over there and babysat for a few hours, and will be babysitting for the rest of the week from 8:15-3:30! I definitely need the money, so I am looking forward to it even though I will be missing some great dairy judging practice. Hopefully I will be able to practice some while I am there. The kids are usually pretty good haha. Well, I guess that's about it for now! Hopefully I will have a positive blog post for you all soon, about the amazing progress I am making towards my goals. :p
Good Luck Everyone!!

OpenVPN Settings
Friedrich Schäuffelhut
- November 25, 2012
( 5,758)
You need root, busybox, tun.ko and the openvpn binary!
Features: UI similar to Wi-Fi settings; Restart tunnel when connectivity changes (e.g. from wifi to 3g); Start on boot; Passphrase; DNS; Script-Security; Write and View Log File; Open Source (GPLv3);
The prerequisites screen will check your device for root, busybox, tun.ko and the openvpn binary! This should be useful to new users figuring out what's needed to get openvpn running.
A working openvpn config is required.
You should follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/fschaeuffelhut
Stay up to date, get help and help out: Join the google group at https://groups.google.com/group/android-openvpn-settings?hl=en
Just works! This program kept me connected to the VPN when the default Android VPN kept dropping me. The only thing I don't like is having to install Auto Start to make it start when the tablet reboots.
Brilliant! It just works!! Very happy with this product but would like to see a few things added. The program exit and disconnects without any reason from time to time. Please investigate if there are any remote malicious backdoors that can be exploited. Please add a feature that stops internet traffic if the vpn is disrupted. Something that prevents traffic leaks when the vpn is inadvertently disconnected.
Nexus 5 how-to fix Running N5 stock 4.4.2, rooted, bb, custom kernel. OpenVPN installer doesn't work (cannot mount /system)... So I manually pushed "openvpn" to /system/xbin and set permission to rwxrwxrwx. Also I pushed "liblzo.so" to /system/lib with permission rw-r--r--. Now OpenVPN WORKS :)
Meh Installer could not mount /system as RW, manual installation via adb worked, but VPN could still not connect: no errors, log file empty :-/ Same config works just fine with "OpenVPN Connect"...
Not bad, but I have no other option. Performance is slightly off, but this is also due to my slow 3G connection, I've noticed that if using all the certificates split up with the .ovpn, it just loops into disconnect and reconnect. Whereas if I just use the .ovpn file on its own, it works good. This is actually the only OpenVPN application that has succeeded me on Cyanogen Mod 10, so I will rate 4 stars. Just the connection needs fixing a little bit :)
Adequate, but not robust This works pretty well under optimal conditions, but fails badly under sub-optimal conditions, when connectivity is erratic. First, it quickly gives up trying to reconnect to the VPN when the connection is broken. Second, it doesn't directly warn or inform the user that the connection has been lost; there is only the status icon, which is easily missed and which lags behind the actual status. Third, while there is an option for logging, the log only covers connection attempts, not disconnects.
What's New
Fix a possible NullPointerException in EnterUserPassword.
Add VIBRATE permission because app fails on some android 2.3.7 and 4.0.4 devices.
Fix VerifyError on Android 1.5.
This version will store your password if you wish to do so.
The ability to connect to multiple servers at a time has been dropped. See issue: http://code.google.com/p/android-openvpn-settings/issues/detail?id=150
Please report any regressions at http://code.google.com/p/android-openvpn-settings/issues

Once the student has been admitted and provided financial documentation, the Office of International Student Services will now provide a Form I-20 to the student. The I-20 or Certificate of Eligibility is the document required to apply for an F-1 visa. The F-1 visa gives you the authority to request admission to the US; the I-20 is ultimately the document that controls a student's stay in the US as an F-1 Student. Below you will find the following information:
Receiving your I-20
Addresses in the US or Canada
Your I-20 will be shipped via regular post.
International Addresses
Your I-20 will be shipped via DHL or FedEx.
Students are required to set up a shipping account with eShipGlobal where they will enter their address information and pay for the postage.
Paying your SEVIS I-901 Fee
SEVIS is the governmental information system used to maintain international student records.
Once you receive your I-20 you will need to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee.
This fee can be paid at: https://www.fmjfee.com
Proof of paying this fee is required to obtain a visa.
Arranging your Visa Interview
You will need to complete a DS-160: Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application.
Then schedule a visa interview by determining which embassy is closest to you and applying for an interview on their website.
You will want to look up the anticipated wait times for interviews and visa processing.
More information about the visa application process can be found on Travel.State.Gov.
Interviewing at the US Consulate
Before your interview, make sure both the SEVIS fee and the Visa application fee have been paid.
Take the following documentation to the interview: passport, receipt of fee payments, visa photo, and I-20.
During the interview, be prepared to provide evidence of your academic ability and intentions, financial ability to study in the US and your intention to return to your home country upon completion.
NAFSA has provided 10 points to remember during your visa interview.

Bubba Watson's son was seen at the 2014 Masters in Augusta last Sunday and now two-year-old Caleb is proving to be a star himself. As Wicked Local Allston reported April 17, the 2012 and 2014 Masters champion is inspired by his adopted son and wants nothing more than to be a shining example to him.
USA Today interviewed Bubba after his second win in Augusta. He opened up about his family values and dedication to family. Bubba said little Caleb Watson is the one who "puts life into perspective." He said that golf is a game that can go great or bad any given day for him. He said his son just wants one thing from him.
"All he cares about is Daddy give him a hug, Daddy pick him up. ... He's teaching me more than I'm teaching him, you know. He's teaching me about life, about how precious life really is," Watson said.
When Bubba was golfing at the 2012 Masters, his wife, Angie Watson, was noticeably absent. She was in Florida waiting on final adoption procedures for Caleb to be finalized. Bubba had no idea being a father was going to be as fulfilling as it's been. He said changing diapers doesn't bother him and he loves fatherhood.
"That's my boy. I'll do anything for him," Bubba said. "But at first, all these thoughts go through your head. But Caleb has changed my personality, changed who I am, and hopefully made me a better person."
Watson's son took center stage in Augusta after the Masters win on Sunday. Angie was by her husband's side and often seen holding Caleb as Bubba played.
Bubba Watson's son could very well follow in his father's footsteps. Will there be another Watson in the future playing golf?

We always welcome feedback or suggestions too.
Q. Does ECCO collect sales tax?
ECCO is required by law to collect applicable sales tax on all purchases shipped to states in which ECCO has a physical location or its affiliates operate in. The amount of sales tax that will be added to your order is based on the state to which your order is being shipped, the standard sales tax rate in that area and the total dollar amount of your order. Some states regulate that we must charge tax on the shipping charges as well.
Q. Do you have a warranty on your products?
Yes, ECCO has a 1 year limited warranty that all of our products are free from any manufacturing or material defects. But this isn't a guarantee against wear and tear. If you have any questions about a product you bought at us.shop.ecco.com please contact us.
Q. Can you ship my shoes internationally?
No, at this time us.shop.ecco.com only ships domestically. ECCO can only accept orders paid with credit cards drawn on US banks.
Q. How do I check on the status of my order?
Use our Order Status link located in the header menu and enter your order number, or you can enter your email address and see your entire order history.
Q. What if I have a problem with an order I've received?
If you have questions, need help with an order you've received, or if you need to return an item please see the information on your packing slip. You can call us at 1-877-240-2365 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q. How do I find out where my nearest ECCO distributor is?
ECCO has a country wide network of distributors. This means that there is a very good chance that there will be a store near you. Use our store locator to find a retailer near you.
Q. Are ECCO shoes waterproof?
Only ECCO Shoes that are made with Gore-Tex ™ lining are waterproof.
Q. How can I best prevent my ECCO shoes from losing their original shape?
This is best done by using shoe trees when the shoe isn't being worn. The best types are shoe trees made out of unvarnished sandalwood, which also extracts moisture from the leather.
Q. Can I wash my shoes?
This is not a good idea. Laundry soap will remove the softening agents in the leather and the leather would become hard and shrink.
Q. What should I do if my shoes do become wet?
Give the shoes plenty of time to dry. Remove the insole and let the shoes dry naturally and never expose them to artificial heat which can damage and distort them.
Q. What size should I order?
ECCO shoes are manufactured in European sizes. Please use our size conversion chart to find your size.
Q. How do you ship hazardous materials?
Some of our Shoe Care items, including aerosol sprays and alcohol-based products, are considered Hazardous Materials (HazMat) when in transit and are required by the U.S. Department of Transportation to be shipped by Ground-only transport, due to Federal Regulations. For these shipments, we can ship via USPS Sure Post or UPS Ground only, within the continental United States. These items will be noted in the item's product description. If your shopping cart contains any aerosol items, air shipment options will not be available when you select your shipping method on the checkout page, and your entire order will ship by Standard or Ground shipment. To send the non-aerosol items in your shopping cart via air, you will have to place a separate order for those products.
Q. How can I return my order?
Just send your unworn items to us within 60 days of shipment with the return receipt which was on the back of the packing slip included in your shipment or use a return form. You will be refunded the purchase price you paid minus all shipping charges. Eccousa.com/us.shop.ecco.com can only accept returns purchased through eccousa.com/us.shop.ecco.com. See our return policy for more information.
Q. Can I return my order at an ECCO Store?
You can return your order at a participating ECCO retail store or ECCO Outlet. Simply use our store locator to find your closest location. Bring your unworn shoes in their original box to the ECCO Store with your order & shipping confirmation email along the packing list included with your shipment and a valid photo ID and we will process your request. See our return policy for more information. Please note that independent retailers that carry ECCO shoes do not accept returns from eccousa.com/us.shop.ecco.com.
Q. Do you offer Free Returns?
Yes, if you join our MY ECCO Loyalty Program you will enjoy 'free shipping' and 'free returns' on all qualified purchases. It is free and easy to join, click here to learn more.
Q. Can I exchange the item I ordered for another item?
We are sorry, but we do not offer exchanges. Our product availability changes daily and because of this we cannot guarantee the availability of the exchange item in your size/color. We suggest that you send your return back and place your reorder at the same time. If we can help in any way, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team.
Q. Where can I get new shoe laces?
ECCO does not stock the original laces for all shoes; however we can send you a replacement lace. Please email your requests to firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also find many laces at www.shoelacesexpress.com.
Q. I saw ECCO shoes on eBay, are they real?
ECCO currently does not sell our products directly on eBay, nor do we supply any retailers on eBay. We cannot warranty or guarantee any ECCO products purchased through eBay resellers. In our endeavor to protect our highly valued brand, the fight against counterfeiting online as well as offline is a high priority to us.
Q. Can I return product to ECCO that I purchased on eBay?
ECCO does not accept returns for products purchased on eBay. We only accept returns for products purchased directly from our website or authorized ECCO retailer.
Q. Can I use a prepaid credit card to purchase?
Unfortunately no, us.shop.ecco.com does not accept prepaid credit cards on our website due to our selected fraud filters.
Q. Do ECCO shoes come in various widths?
ECCO's line of shoes utilizes a unique type of fit. Due to this our shoes are able to fit a very wide variety of feet. ECCOs fit from heel to instep (not to the ball of the foot). We refer to this as the ECCO "Freedom Fit". Conventional shoes fit across the width of your feet at the toes. This restricts the natural spreading of your toes under the pressure of walking. This "Freedom Fit" allows the toes to move freely as you walk.
Q. How long will it take to get my order?
Your orders are automatically accepted into our ordering system the minute you hit submit. Your order will leave our warehouse within 72 business hours of receipt. UPS standard delivery will arrive within 7-10 business days of shipment. ECCO does not process orders on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. For Express delivery, orders must be placed by 12:00 pm EST to be shipped same day. Orders placed after 12:00 pm EST will ship the following business day. UPS shipping schedule is Monday through Friday.

Gimme! Coffee – Finca San Luis
2011 Good Food Awards Coffee Winner
GIMME! Coffee sources their Finca San Luis coffee through Virmax Café, a Colombian exporter committed to quality, transparency, sustainability, and long-term relationships. For the past two years, Virmax Café has worked with Omar Aranjo from Finca San Luis to improve the quality of the cherries, the farm's drying practices, and general sustainable practices. Omar Aranjo recently invested in a new drying patio which will ensure consistency in the drying process and, subsequently, coffee quality. Moreover, the Finca San Luis farm is organic and Rainforest Alliance Certified. It is important for Coleen to pay a premium for the coffee not only to ensure quality, but to make certain farm pickers receive fair wages as well. Colleen Anunu, Director of Coffee, advocates for stable wages and a continued need to work with growers, importers, exporters, financers, retailers, and other individuals involved in the coffee chain.

In this video from WordCamp Chicago, Dre talks about security when working with WordPress. He starts from securing your local computer, using safe passwords and the good ways to securely connect to the Internet and WordPress. Dre then mentions a great deal of techniques on making your WordPress installation more secure, file permissions, SSL certificates, checking your web hosting providers and more.
If you're running a website on WordPress and especially if you're making a living out of it (brand or business), then make sure you watch Dre's presentation before you get into any trouble. And of course, "update, update, update"!

I'm not the hero you want, I'm the hero you deserve
Yesterday was one of those days with my kids when I seriously considered just going and sitting on the back deck and letting nature take its course inside. I know the baby is recovering from being sick, so I expect her to be whiny, but she was really over achieving. Faith is turning four on Sunday and apparently that means she no longer listens to me and challenges every single thing I say. Even if I tell her to do something she wants to do, her knee jerk reaction right now is to say "Nooooo, I don't WANT to do that!" Sometimes I wonder why we are going to such lengths to get her to talk more.
As a sneak peak in my glamour-filled life, I got both cranky kids down for a nap after Faith's gymnastic's lesson, and I did a treadmill walk because you know, busted back. After I finished that, my lunch just beeped in the microwave when I heard the baby scream like she saw a ghost upstairs. Once I got her calmed down, I figured I'd take a shower. She spent my whole time in the shower with her snot streaked face pressed against the glass, so that's my excuse today why my legs aren't shaved well. I'll come up with another excuse tomorrow.
After I got dressed and calmed down the baby, I went in to get Faith up from her "nap". I could smell an issue before I even opened the door. When I opened it, I saw her emptying out her whole fucking closet all over her room. I asked her "What are you DOING??" and she just looked me right in the eye and said "I'm making a special big mess!" like it was no big deal. Oh, and she had shit her pants. Not just in her Pull-Up, she had in her words "smushed it around!", so it was mashed all in her pajama shorts as well. She did that right next her to potty.
As punishment, I took away her favorite toy and told her she could have it back after three days of no poop accidents. She didn't care at all. At some point she has turned into Cool Hand Luke.
Also, the dog threw up in the kitchen because I was ten minutes late on serving her dinner, and the baby blew out her diaper while sitting on my lap while I was trying to finish dinner.
This has been your daily dose of blog-delivered birth control. You're welcome.
What has been the worst (or grossest) thing to happen to you so far this week?

*real* birth-control would be posting pictures and video. Stop half-assing it, Kara.ReplyDelete
I've had nothing gross happen this week, thank god. Although my son still has bed wetting issues so there are weeks when I feel like all I'm doing is washing piss sheets.ReplyDelete
Probably my grossest mom experience was when my middle kid was sick. Really sick. Two separate nights she not only barfed all over herself while sleeping (and didn't wake up) but also shit herself. ALSO! As in addition to the barf. Cleaning barf and shit from a top bunk and also off a sick kid with long hair is no picnic. And of course, the hour was 3 am. On a work day.
Back in the day, I was babysitting, and one of the kids I was sitting had a blowout. Didn't even occur to me to put the kid in a bath. I just used baby wipes on the whole thing. Obviously this parenting thing is for me.ReplyDelete
Love your blog!ReplyDelete
Yesterday, my toddler was clearly feeling the poo vibe. While doing bear butt time outside, she pooped all the way down her leg, which is really no big deal. I cleaned her up and dumped her back outside while I tried to get the vegetables watered. When I turned around 2 seconds later, she had squished dog poop in her hands and rubbed it all over her belly. I quickly cleaned her up and dumped her in the bath. When she protested all I could say was "babies who play with POOP have to have a bath." I scrubbed her so hard... So much poop.Replies

Oh my god, that's horrific. My greatest fear is that I'll miss a pile of dog poop in the morning during pick up and my kids will either squish it between their toes or try to play in it. You lived my nightmare.Delete
I don't have children but I'll share something gross I had to do with my cat. A few years ago he was peeing all the time over the shower drain instead of the litter box. While I was glad he was considerate enough to do it in a place that was easy to clean, I was concerned enough to take him to the vet, who suspected it was a UTI. (He's a male Siamese mix, which makes him pretty high risk for these). The staff at the vet's office tried to get a urine sample but apparently my cat had emptied his bladder right before we left and they couldn't even get anything with a catheter. So they sent us home with a little cup that I had to place over the shower drain to catch my cat's urine and then drop off at the vet's office. On top of that, my mom was coming down to visit that day, so I had to tell her not to run the shower lest we lose a urine sample.ReplyDelete
I just laughed so hard...I'm really sorry! That sounds disgusting.ReplyDelete
Children are a joy, right? Are you just trying to traumatize Alyssa and Kari before their kiddos arrive? :)Replies
It worked. Too late for Kari though.Delete
Sounds like you need some discount frozen yogurt in your life.ReplyDelete
I got peed on this week. does that help?
I really thought kids stopped shitting themselves by about 18 months. Clearly I was wrong (I am childless).ReplyDelete
Wow. I am so happy that I just have dogs at this point in my life :p Sounds like insanity!ReplyDelete
This blog entry should be required reading for every DINK couple I know who are thinking about having kids. And also for teens. And I punched myself in the balls while reading it.ReplyDelete
Fuck, and once I again I forget to mention something else -- major kudos to the blog reader who called Sweet Frog on their BS.ReplyDelete
Oh dear god, birth control indeed. Thank you for not posting pictures. We had a 3-year-old at the daycare once who shit himself, and then tried to go to the bathroom to clean himself up, but ended up trailing poo behind him all over the floor because it had run down his leg and onto his shoes. But yours is definitely grosser.ReplyDelete
Kudos on the Bob's Burger gif, Tina's my favorite.
It's seriously the worst when you give kids punishments and they don't even care. It's hard to think of a better punishment on the spot. Nothing gross so far this week, I have my hopes pinned on the bachelorette party this weekend.ReplyDelete
The grossest is always poop related when you've got kids.ReplyDelete
Yesterday my youngest got oatmeal everywhere at breakfast, so I took off her diaper and went to get her a new one. By the time I had returned, ONE MINUTE LATER, she was shoved in a corner between the TV and my favorite chair. As I picked her up, I realized that this was, of course, because she was pooping--she proceeded to poop on the floor, get her shit stained feet all over the chair, the TV stand, and the TV, and then continued to drop poop nuggets like an obscene version of Gretel as I hustled her to the bathroom. As a bonus, her poop (WHAT HAVE I BEEN FEEDING HER?!?!) was so thick it stuck like tar to the shower and I had to scrub to get it all off. It was an awesome morning.Replies

Neighbor's kid was visiting and had diarrhea (in the toilet) without my knowledge. He went back out to play and our dimwitted golden lab slurped up the contents of the toilet and then shook her very wet, now very brown muzzle back and forth and back and forth, coating the bathroom with some other kid's liquid poop. Top that.ReplyDeleteReplies
DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNERDelete
On the airplane I flew on yesterday someone had smeared blood all over the window, shade and tray table of my seat before I sat there. And I had to help the flight attendant clean it up.ReplyDelete
I have a poop story, which is more interesting because of the mystery involved then because of the gross-out factor. I was a camp counselor during summers between university at a daycamp where we had two swims a day - one morning and one afternoon. The twenty kids in my group were between five and seven years old. For a period of about three weeks, after every single afternoon swim, we would find that one kid had pooped in the pile of towels in the classroom we used as a changeroom. Figuring out who it was became the obsession for the staff.. there were charts at one point. We couldn't attribute one single suspect because we had a lot of kids who were all there for the same period of time. What motivates a kid to take a poop in a pile of towels? More intriguingly, without coffee, how does a kid poop at exactly the same time, every single day???ReplyDelete
Awkward transition here but congrats to the reader that fixed the military discount situation. That was crazy. Can I do God's work by eating froyo or only by selling it?
This should be your new blog tagline: "Helping People Get Discounts on Low Fat Yogurt"ReplyDelete
I got to vomit this week. That was fun! At least it made it into the toilet. I'm nothing if not a great aimer when it comes to projectile vomiting.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad I don't have a gross story to share this week. But I'll tell you, my youngest is all about the mess too. She's now 5. Whenever we get the playroom all cleaned up while she's asleep (because she won't "allow" it when she's awake) and she walks in after, she starts screaming and flailing like some crazed fundie worshipper. Then she overturns all the toy bins while shrieking, "I WANT A MESSSSSS!" None of my other kids were like this. She and Faith would probably get along great.ReplyDelete
Oh no! Poop and puke! Don't you hate it when kids act like they don't care about a punishment?! It makes me feel so out of control:/ Especially now that I have a teenager and he is much bigger than me. Hard to look up at someone and be in control;)ReplyDelete

Fifty-seven years ago today, the children's book publishing industry was knocked flat on its back.
Or perhaps it is better to say it was knocked flat on its hat.
Today is the 57th anniversary of the publication of "The Cat in the Hat," the ground-breaking children's book that forever changed the way young ones approach literacy.
Dr. Seuss wrote "The Cat in the Hat" after his publisher asked him to create a book that was limited to 220 new-reader vocabulary words, according to a profile of the author that appears on the history.com website.
"The Cat in the Hat" was not Dr. Seuss's first book, nor would it be his last. A sampling of his "post-Cat" books include "Yertle, the Turtle," "Horton Hears a Who," and "Fox in Socks," among many, many others. In all, Dr. Seuss wrote 44 books.
Now here's where it gets interesting. Dr. Seuss featured food so prominently in his children's books that in 2006, Random House released "Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook," a compilation of recipes inspired by Dr. Seuss and mentioned in his books.
The author, Georgeanne Brennan, and the photographer, Frankie Frankeny, relate in the Introduction to "Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook" that they read every one of Dr. Seuss's books to find all of the "wacky foods for us to bring to life."
"It was important to us that the recipes in the "Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook" be not only Seussian, zany, and fun, but also deliciously good and healthy, too," they write.
From "Glunker Stew" to "Yot in the Pot" to the eponymous "Green Eggs and Ham," Brennan and Frankeny's cookbook takes "The Cat in the Hat" out of the library and into the kitchen.
Toast Dr. Seuss and "The Cat in the Hat" with this "Pink Yink Ink Drink" from "Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook."
Happy Anniversary to the one and only "Cat in the Hat."
½ pint fresh or ½ cup frozen blackberries, thawed
1 cup milk
6 fresh strawberries, green tops removed, or ½ cup frozen strawberries, thawed
1 teaspoon honey
1. Puree blackberries in a blender
2. Pour into a large glass
3. Put the milk, strawberries, and honey in the blender and blend
4. Strain the mixture, (optional)
5. Pour the strawberry mixture carefully on top of the blackberries

#MWC10 Garmin Asus nuvifones. M10 – Windows Mobile 6.5.3 in action and some A50 custom Android goodness. Hands-on videos
As more and more mobile phones are getting GPS sensors, and navigation services on them become better and cheaper (or even free), the life for a stand-alone GPS/Navigation device makers is getting harder and harder.
Every one of them is choosing their own strategies to cope with the mobile onslaught.
Seeing the writing on the wall, a couple of years ago, one of the major Nav device makers – Garmin – decided, that if mobile handset makers are encroaching on Garmin's turf, they should return the favor and build their own mobile phone.
Except, that was easier said then done. After numerous setbacks and delays, a year later, Garmin had to partner with Asus to finally bring their first device Nuvifone G60 to market. It was a win-win partnership for both companies – Garmin got a partner with some serious manufacturing muscle and at least some experience in mobile handsets; Asus got a unique marketing/functional feature set (navigation) to differentiate their plain vanilla Windows Mobile smartphones.
When it finally shipped, their first navigational phone – Garmin Asus Nuvifone G60 got pretty good reception from reviewers, but that did not translate into significant sales. Neither did their second, Windows Mobile based device Nuvifone M20. Still, it was a pretty good start for a new market entrant.
This week, at Mobile World congress in Barcelona it's round 2 for Garmin Asus, as they come out with their first Android device – nuvifone A50, and a second Windows mobile handset – M10.
And they both seem to be a pretty impressive handsets, with navigation capabilities tightly integrated through every application in the phone.
Garmin Asus nuvifone M10 is running the new, as yet unannounced Windows Mobile 6.5.3 update, with slightly customized UI layer on top. Here's a hands-on video of Garmin Asus M10:
Android based Garmin-Asus A50, runs on Android 1.6, but Garmin-Asus has completely redesigned the user interface layer.
It seems for the better. While keeping all the Android power underneath, it is much more easy to use then any stock Android device.
Both devices will start shipping in a few months.

Macroautophagy, a homeostatic process that shuttles cytoplasmic constituents into endosomal and lysosomal compartments, has recently been shown to deliver antigens for presentation on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules. Skeletal muscle fibers show a high level of constitutive macroautophagy and express MHC class II molecules upon immune activation. We found that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a monokine overexpressed in inflammatory myopathies, led to a marked up-regulation of macroautophagy in skeletal myocytes. Furthermore, TNF-α augmented surface expression of MHC class II molecules in interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-treated myoblasts. The synergistic effect of TNF-α and IFN-γ on the induction of MHC class II surface expression was not reflected by higher intracellular human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR levels and was reversed by macroautophagy inhibition, suggesting that TNF-α facilitates antigen processing via macroautophagy for more efficient MHC class II loading. Muscle biopsies from patients with sporadic inclusion body myositis, a well defined myopathy with chronic inflammation, showed that over 20% of fibers that contained autophagosomes costained for MHC class II molecules and that more than 40% of double-positive muscle fibers had contact with CD4(+) and CD8(+) immune cells. These findings establish a mechanism through which TNF-α regulates both macroautophagy and MHC class II expression and suggest that macroautophagy-mediated antigen presentation contributes to the immunological environment of the inflamed human skeletal muscle.

Telus Motorola Milestone Android 2.2 Froyo update now available
Oh look, it's another post about an update to Android 2.2 Froyo. In 2011. Almost 10 months after the aforementioned OS version was launched. I wonder how long this will keep happening, but then again I'm quite sure that we'll still have some carrier update some device to Froyo this holiday season, as they say. Sure, on one hand, that's cool for the owners of these devices, after all, Android versions before Froyo are starting to feel a bit outdated, but on the other hand waiting 10 months for an update is just… well, the way it is in the Android world. And yes, a newer version is already out. But Milestone owners on Telus – you probably won't be getting any further updates, so enjoy this one as much as you can.
Which brings us to the news. Motorola has released the Android 2.2 Froyo update for Telus' Motorola Milestone. Happy Milestone owners should head to this page and start the process. Do note that this isn't going to be an over-the-air update. You'll need a computer and a USB data cable to perform it.
All the necessary installation steps (as well as a handy guide for how to restart auto sync after updating, which apparently needs to be done in order for GMail to work) are waiting for you on Moto's dedicated support page, so go! Start updating!
