Thank you .. I took a test and it was negative ..and I tried to check for the strings and felt nothing .. I'm hoping it hasn't shift or anything .. I'm making a appointment todayposted 07/18/2013 by Lovecoco
The only way to know is to test, but you need to find out as soon as possible because of possible complications. If you are pregnant, you will most likely need to have the IUD removed immediately to prevent further complications. That said, all of those symptoms could be from the IUD, also. You need to see your dr asap.posted 07/18/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

The official National Hurricane Center forecast track has shifted westward in the last 18 hours, with a focus more on the Western Florida Panhandle, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana coasts.
However, it is important to note the computer model guidance is very spread apart, with little agreement and the forecast is considered to have low confidence. It is entirely possible that the forecast track may shift back eastward again today. The forecasts are critical today. It is too soon to let one's guard down just yet.
The Hurricane Watch is extended westward along the Louisiana coast to just east of Morgan City and now includes metropolitan New Orleansand Lake Pontchartrain.
A Hurricane Watch is in effect for east of Morgan City, Louisiana to Indian Pass just south of Port St. Joe, Florida. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Florida west coast and the eastern Florida Panhandle from north of Bonita beach to Indian Pass, including Tampa Bay.
At 1100 am the center of Tropical Storm Isaac was located near latitude 23. north and longitude 80.8 west.
Isaac ismoving toward the west-northwest near 18 mph. A west-northwestward to northwestward motion is expected during the next 48 hours with a gradual decrease in forward speed.
On the forecast track the center of Isaac is expected to move near or over the lower Florida Keys later today and tonight and move into the eastern Gulf of Mexico on Monday.Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Isaac is expected to be at or near hurricane strength when it reaches the Florida Keys.
Tropical Storm force winds extend outward up to 205 miles from the center. Tropical storm conditions are occurring in the tropical Storm warning area along the Florida east coast. Tropical Storm conditions are expected to spread northward along the west coast of Florida and into the eastern Florida panhandle in the TropicalStorm warning area tonight and Monday. Hurricane conditions are possible in the Hurricane Watch area alongthe northern gulf coast on Tuesday with tropical storm conditions possible by Monday night.
The message of the day is "wrap it up." Today should be your last day for you to put your plans to action. Go to the store and buy the hurricane supplies you need: food, water, prescriptions, flashlights, batteries, etc. Fill up your gas tank. Take care of your home. Do not wait until the last minute to risk facing long lines, big crowds, and sold out items.

East Coast residents have gotten good advice, some being ordered to evacuate and head for higher ground. Others are in areas where they simply need to be prepared to ride out the power outages and dig out from the debris. They've even been reminded to check on their more vulnerable neighbors -- something we all should do regularly.
Even with all the destruction that comes with a major storm, there's still something fascinating about the event that lures people to the shoreline. Plenty of us will be watching Lake Michigan today, so be careful out there. Don't go out on the piers or do anything that will cause someone else to risk their life to protect yours.
So, how do you weather a storm? What's your best advice?

Thick Black Hookers Site Facts
Thick Black Hookers Review
When I saw the name of this site I was thinking it was going to be a BBW site. It isn't, though two of the models could maybe qualify as Big Beautiful Women. The rest of the babes are just smoking hot Ebony girls with very curvy bodies. The scenes sometimes have some sort of scenario. They are taken from various DVDs so there is no uniting "hooker sex" theme as the site's title may suggest. You'll see these babes sucking big black dick, getting fucked hard from behind and slathered in warm loads of cum. Some of the babes here include Alanna Lee, Alexis Silver and Talon.
At the time of my visit there were a total of 12 episodes online. These have recent dates that suggest a weekly update schedule here. I don't see how that could be possible, since the site has been online since 2006. Thats almost four years, and with weekly updates there should be around 200 episodes not 12. I'm pretty sure they rotate content or just lie about the dates things are added. You can stream these movies online in a Flash video player that looks fantastic. It loads right in your browser. You can also download the movies in Windows Media files that offer a great quality playback or an MP4 file that offers a good quality playback. All downloads and streams are for full-length files. Mp4 files are optimized for iPods. Scenes ran about thirty minutes long on average.
You'll have photo galleries for all of the scenes. These have photos that mirror the action in the movies. They are professional pictorials with good lighting and camera work but the resolutions aren't very large. If they were bigger they would be high-res for their quality. You can browse the pictures in an online gallery or download sets in zip files that are conveniently provided. All of the content is nonexclusive.
If the site isn't big or really updating much it is at least going to provide a huge quantity of bonus goodies. You'll have access to all 77 sites on the same network that cover a variety of niches and porn categories. You have access to 539 ebony porn DVDs and thousands of pictures. There are another 59 bonus sites you can access as well. In the end you end up with quite a bit of porn to sift through.
Thick Black Hookers isn't perfect, as it's a small site that is probably rotating content, but the high quality content and loads of extras make it worth considering nonetheless. I enjoyed the action and the DVDs the site works with and would recommend this site to fans of ebony porn and girls with thick asses.

100% Norway is one of my favourite parts of the London Design Festival, so I'm always keen to see what will be there. This year, to mark their 10th anniversary, they've released a series of beautiful short films. This one is Norwegian design legend Peter Opsvik & rising star Lars Beller Fjetland in conversation… so I'm going to put my feet up and let them interview each other!
My favourite quotes are when Peter Opsvik says, "My theory about sitting is very simple: if we're allowed to move, we move." (I'm such a fidgeter I can't help but agree!) and Lars Beller Fjetland's observation that "Sometimes beautiful things come from the chase of that which is purely functional." I think often, the most beautiful things do.
I loved Lars' Re-turned Birds at 100% Norway 2012, so I'm excited to see his latest work – and I'm hoping to be allowed to have a go in Peter's chair… do you think they'll let me? Maybe! 100% Norway is at the Dray Walk Gallery off Brick Land 19th – 22nd September.

|Public Policy and Practice | Update: May 11, 2011
Ask your Assembly Member to contact Appropriations Committee Chair Felipe Fuentes
Your letters and phone calls are already making a difference - but there is still more work to be done.
AB 1205 is in the hands of Hon. Felipe Fuentes, Chair of the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Unless he decides to allow our bill to go forward, the full Assembly will not have an opportunity to vote on this bill for the rest of the year! AB 1205 is the only way to address the problem of health plan coverage for ABA services without imposing costs on the state.
We need your Assembly Member to ask Felipe Fuentes to allow the bill to go forward.
Here's what your Assembly Member should emphasize:
Call your Assembly Member TODAY! Even as few as 5 phone calls can make all the difference.
Click here to find your Assembly Member
Use this UPDATED calling script:
"My name is ___________. I am one of Assembly Member ___________'s constituents living in his district, and I'm calling to ask him/her for a favor.
A bill that I strongly support - AB 1205 or the Behavior Analyst Licensure bill - is currently stuck in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. I would greatly appreciate if Assembly Member ________________ would talk to the Chair of that Committee, Felipe Fuentes, and ask him to allow AB 1205 to go to the full Assembly for a vote.
I am a [identify yourself - professional, student, parent, etc.], and I believe that this bill will greatly benefit the State of California. It is revenue neutral and wouldn't take effect until 2015. It is personally important to me that this bill passes.
Would you be willing to speak with Assembly Member Fuentes to make sure AB 1205 passes out of his committee?
Thank you very much for your help!"

Nigel Reynolds talks to Hockney about the state of British painting: "When asked what he thought about Emin's paintings, he replied: 'They're OK, but you don't remember them too well.' With uncharacteristic nuance, the normally blunt Yorkshire artist went on: 'You always see photos of Tracey (in the papers), not of her paintings. I'd rather have photos of my pictures in the papers, not me.' " Read more in the Telegraph.

David Hockney slams Tracey Emin's Venice Biennale paintings
6:47 PM Sharon Butler 2
2 comments:
Tracy Emin's work is extremely boring, i imagine she's a brilliant at self promotion and marketing, but the results of her efforts is never art.
I have to agree with Tempest Press. Emin is a minimally talented provacateur who has exploited the leeway prvided by the "conceptual art" tag to dupe a great many people. In interviews, she almost appears to be sneering at the naivete of those she has won over. Sadly, artists like Emin debase the currency of conceptual art.

College Hockey:A few memories of Jerry York through the years
When Boston College coach Jerry York recorded his 500th win back in 1996, USCHO was in its first year of existence. There was no room for us in many press boxes and some coaches were befuddled by exactly what USCHO was all about.
"What's this Internet website thing?" one coach asked me, his face clouded with confusion. "Kind of like email or something?"
So when I decided to contact NHL legend Dave Taylor for a feature on York's milestone — Taylor starred for York at Clarkson — I doubted I'd get through. Taylor was, after all, the Los Angeles Kings General Manager, a very busy man during a very busy part of his season. And I was a nobody writing for an organization nobody had heard of — a kind of email sort of thing.
Taylor's secretary took my phone number and the message that I was calling regarding a feature on Jerry York, all the while sounding as mystified about USCHO as so many people were back then. I assumed I'd never hear from the GM.
Five minutes later, Taylor called.
He called back a nobody who wrote for an "email or something" publication because the topic was Jerry York. Such is the loyalty that York engenders. Taylor spoke at length with great admiration for his former coach.
* * *
York has earned the admiration of more than his former players. Rival coaches refer to him as the consummate gentleman and "the nicest guy in the business."
Perhaps at no time did he earn those words more than in one gut-wrenching post-game press conference. BC had just suffered an agonizing loss, the kind that often turns its participants into a maelstrom of emotions.
As was the custom, the losing coach, York, spoke to the media first. That didn't sit well with one self-important windbag for The New York Times. (The New York Times may be a great newspaper, but nobody reads it for its mind-blowing college hockey content.)
After York answered several questions, the windbag uttered unquestionably the most insulting words I've ever witnessed in such a venue.
"Do you think we could get the winning coach out here?" said Mr. The-World-Revolves-Around-Me.
Jerry York flushed but remained polite and in short order excused himself.
Grace under fire. Consummate class.
* * *
Four years after recording his 500th victory, win number 600 came. Although the Eagles would go on to win the national championship that spring, York's BC teams had only come tantalizingly close to that point.
Bridesmaids but not brides.
They'd been in three straight Four Fours and two national championship games in the three years. But no titles. Some wondered if BC's drought that dated back to 1949 would ever end.
"You've just got to keep knocking on the door," York would say, sometimes ashen-faced after a tough loss. "Eventually, it will open."
York was right. The door opened later that year.
It's opened again three of the last five years with NCAA titles in 2008, 2010, and 2012. Boston College has become the standard against which all other hockey programs are measured.
And Jerry York has now tied Ron Mason for winningest all-time coach with 924 wins. Not too bad for a guy who wasn't sure how long he'd last in the business.
"I told my wife we'd try it for five years," York said, "and if nothing came of it I'd get a real job."

Dozens of homeless individuals received much-needed dental care thanks to volunteers from University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. Students and faculty members provided treatment to more than 70 homeless San Franciscans as part of Project Homeless Connect on December 3.
During the outreach event, dental school volunteers offered free dental screenings and oral cancer examinations at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Following the oral health assessments, Project Homeless Connect clients who needed oral surgery were transported to the dental school's clinic in Pacific Heights, where 23 individuals received treatment.
"Many students, faculty and staff came together as a team to provide care for an under-served population," said Ben Yount, Class of 2009. "Some would say this was extraordinary; I would say that this is the Pacific way — helping others."
Volunteers from the Arthur A. Dugoni School Dentistry have been providing oral health care services through Project Homeless Connect since 2007. To date, nearly 700 homeless San Franciscans have received dental screenings, teeth cleanings, restorations or oral surgery as result of this bi-monthly effort.

Guy With Potato Salad Kickstarter Will Owe at Least $21,000 in Taxes
Dude better hold the mayo.
Because funds raised on Kickstarter are considered income in the United States, Zack Danger Brown will likely owe at least $21,167 in federal, city, and state taxes for his improbably successful crowd-funded campaign to make a simple bowl of potato salad. He's got to have a slew of paperwork to fill out, too, according to Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, which has posted a full rundown of Brown's income and deductions. As of today, the potato salad campaign has raised $71,846, and while there's a chance a savvy accountant may be able to qualify some of the funds as nontaxable gifts, it's probably still going to be a five-figure tariff for those Yukon Golds. Dude better hold the mayo. [Tax Foundation, Related]

Yes, it really is time for cauliflower, if you are a gardener here in Zone 6. Oh, not time to go out and hack through the ice covering the raised beds and sow some seeds, hardly that, but time to think about starting your plants in doors.
Cauliflower is one of those plants which react very badly to heat, and often putting in seeds around the last frost date can get the plants in trouble just about when the heads were starting to look good. What the gardener may end up with are malformed, browned and dry florets, virtually inedible and not in the least desirable.
But by starting the plants indoors we can steal a march on time and weather, and almost guarantee a delicious, cosmetically appealing crop.
If we consult our gardening literature we find that cauliflower can be transplanted to the garden 4 weeks before until 2 weeks after the last frost date. Zone 6 has an anticipated last frost of April 20th, let us split the difference and go for a transplant date about one week before, or around the 14th.
We can start the seeds 6 to 8 weeks before planting, with an additional seven days for germination. If we back off 8 weeks from April 14th we are already at February 15th. Obviously, the moment is upon us. Have you ordered your seeds?
Keep in mind that when you do you have wealth of varieties to choose from, with various growing maturation times, head size and colors. Colors now include tradition white, yellow, orange, green and purple.
Cauliflower is rich in good things like vitamins C, K, B-6, pantothenic acid, choline and folate and has many other vitamins and minerals in lesser amounts. Other phytonutrients are important detoxifiers, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. Cauliflower has been shown to be an important supplier of compounds which aid the fight against diabetes, cardio vascular disease, obesity and digestive ailments.
Orange cauliflower possesses 25 times the beta carotene of the white variety, and purple heads have many times the amount of anthocyanins.
Cauliflower tastes good, is good for your health and needs to be started early.

Lave Beds National Monument
Lava Beds National Monument, located in Siskiyou and Modoc Counties, California, is the site of the largest concentration of lava tube caves in the United States. It was established as a United States National Monument on November 21, 1925.
The monument lies on the northeast flank of the Medicine Lake Volcano, the largest volcano (total area covered) in the Cascade Range.
The region in and around the monument is unique because it lies on the junction of the Sierra-Klamath, Cascade, and Great Basin physiographic provinces.
In addition, the monument is geologically outstanding because of its great variety of "textbook" volcanic formations; i.e., lava tube caves, fumaroles, cinder cones, spatter cones, maar volcanos, and lava flows. Over 30 separate lava flows located in the park range in age from 2,000,000 years BP to 1,110 years BP.
Some of the major Lava Flows within Lava Beds National Monument include: Callahan Flow, Schonchin Flow, Mammoth Crater Flow, Modoc Crater Flow, and Devils Homestead Flow. Schonchin Butte is an example of a cinder cone.
The climate is characterized by warm, dry summers and cold winters. The average annual high temperature is 60 °F (16 °C) and average annual low temperature is 35 °F (2 °C). Temperature extremes range from 18 °F (-28 °C) to 102 °F (39 °C). Average annual snowfall is 44 inches (112 cm).
The lava tube collapse systems and lava outcrops support a great diversity of plant life, from an impressive variety of lichens and mosses to plants such as desert sweet (Chamaebatiaria millefolium) and the aromatic desert (purple) sage (Salvia dorrii carnosa).
These Species are well outside of their normal range 90 - 125 miles away on the northern California coastline.
During the Modoc War of 1872-1873, the Modoc Indians used these tortuous lava flows to their advantage. Under the leadership of Captain Jack, the Modocs took refuge in "Captain Jack's Stronghold," a natural lava fortress.
From this base a group of 53 fighting men and their families held off US Army forces numbering up to ten times their strength for five months.
Lava Flows
Some animals obtain water from caves, while others fly about twenty miles (12 km) north to Tule Lake. Federal and state animal species of special concern in the monument include: Cooper's Hawk (Accepter cooperii), Fringed Myotis (Myotis thysanodes), Long-eared Myotis (Myotis evotic), Long-legged Myotis (Myotis volans), Pallid Bat (Antrozous pallidus), Silver-haired Bat (Lasionycteris noctivigans), Townsends Big-eared Bat (Corynorhinus townsendii), Western Small-footed Myotis (Myotis ciliolabrum), and American Badger (Taxidea taxus).
Reptile species found in the monument include: northern sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus graciosus graciosus), Great Basin fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis biseriatus), western skink (Eumeces skiltonianus skiltonianus), Rocky Mountain rubber boa (Charina bottae utahensis), gopher snake (Pituophis melanoleucus), desert night snake (Hypsiglena torquata deserticola), western rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis).
Cave mouths & interior passages:
Schonchin Butte cinder cone at dawn, viewed from Park Headquarters.
The lava cools as it falls, forming cinders that pile up around the vent. When the pressure has been relieved, the rest of the lava flows from the base of the cone. Cinder cones typically only erupt once.
The flow that formed Valentine Cave erupted 10,850 years ago. An eruption that formed The Castles is younger than the Mammoth Crater flows.
Even younger were eruptions from Fleener Chimneys (the Devils Homestead flow, 10,500 years ago) and Black Crater (3,025 years ago). About 1,110 years ago, plus or minus 60 years, the Callahan flow was produced by an eruption from Cinder Butte.
Fleener Chimneys and Black Crater are examples of spatter cones.
The tuff layer on top of Gillem Bluff is 2,000,000 years old, inferring the rock layers beneath are even older. The oldest lava flow from the Medicine Lake Volcano within the monument is the Basalt of Hovey Point, near Captain Jacks Stronghold, which is 450,000 years old.

Prepaid Top-Up
Don't you just hate it when an important phone call is interrupted because you've run out of airtime? Would you like a more convenient option than having to go to the shops, buy a prepaid top-up voucher and load the airtime yourself?

Bio: His parents were killed at the age of two by a rebel assault. A Jedi Master Echuu Shen Jon rescued him and took him to the Jedi temple. He say that Tongo's Medichlorians were higher than Luke Skywalkers, but thay couldn't stop training him. When he was 5, he discovered the dark side. By then, he was already a Form VII Master, and on the level of Mace Windu when he died. Jerec, an evil Dark Jedi was struck down by Kyle Katarn, and Tongo left the academy a year later. After Desann had been defeated, Tongo reappered to the Jedi, having been a bounty hunter for the time he was not a jedi. Tongo knew of the Dark Jedi ready to wreak havoc at the corner of the galaxy and joined them. When he met Kyle Katarn, at the Academy, they had a massive fight. Kyle was left with half his left arm and one third of him right leg, apart from his main body and head. Tongo left feeling guilty, and disguised as his bounty hunter self, he was hired by the Jedi to Kill the Dark Jedi. Tongo wasn't in it for the money, he was in it to realise his true fate. He helped destroy the Dark Jedi, and later helped New Republic to overcome the Yuuzhan Vong. After that he was hired to be cloned, with Vader, and all the mighty jedi, including kyle. They said it was for an experiment. An experiment for a Jedi to protect the Jedi forever. They lied. The clones struck down kyle. Tongo Fought two of them until he was tragically stabbed in the back, and he fled, deeply wounded. When he had healed in a bacta bath, he decided to destroy the new death stars, and fight the new tie shadows in an extremely dangerous dogfight in space. Tongo won. And eventually after painful and tiring space and ground battles, he completed his task. He was suddenly hit by a neutron beam 5 years later, and these were his final words" I'm ready, for it's my time, to die..."
Everyone was crying. Everyone but the new Emperor, Emperor Palpatines Clone combined with the superhuman clones from before. He had been voted chancellor, but since Tongo was around in spirit, he crippled the emperor's heart, and changed his ways to the good before he could cause disruption and war.

The Bella Foundation Microchip Clinic will be held on Saturday, September 6 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Midtown Veterinary Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
No appointment is needed to have a pet microchipped at the Midtown Veterinary Hospital. Fees for microchipping will be $25.00 per pet. The street address for the Midtown Veterinary Hospital is 231 NW 10 Street in Oklahoma City.
Readers may recall The Bella Foundation is the group that was called to help when two pit bulls were found abandoned in an apartment in Midwest City, Oklahoma.
During The Bella Foundation Microchip Clinic event readers should be aware that Oklahoma Animal Welfare will have some dogs available for adoption.
Microchips have helped return many lost pets to their owners. Without a microchip it is likely a pet could be turned over to a shelter and never returned to the proper owner.
More information about The Bella Foundation can be viewed on their site as well as on their Facebook page.
Do you have details about a rescue or pet you would like shared on this examiner.com page? Feel free to contact this writer through Facebook with details. Emails should be sent to PatAnthonyExaminer {at} aol {.} com.

What Does a Statement of Stockholders Equity Disclose?
Original post by Vicki A. Benge of Demand Media
A statement of stockholders' or shareholders' equity is one of the main financial statements a public company prepares. Others include the balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow. Information reported on a stockholders' equity statement may be presented as a stand-alone statement, included as part of the balance sheet, or as part of a separate statement of retained earnings. Policies of individual companies vary. However, the information must be reported to shareholders of public companies in some format.
Disclosures on a statement of stockholders' equity include detailed descriptions of the number of preferred and common shares authorized, i.e., those that can be issued, the shares actually issued both to the public and as part of internal incentive plans, totaling the number of shares outstanding. The number of shares outstanding equals all those issued minus any repurchased by the company and recorded as Treasury Stock on the financial statements.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock transactions recorded on a statement of stockholders' equity do not affect the income statement. In a cost method of accounting, the shares reacquired or repurchased by the company are debited to Treasury Stock and credited to Cash on the financial records, thus being subtracted from total shareholders' equity. If the same shares are reissued again to investors, the transaction is reversed; Treasury Stock is credited and Cash is debited. When a company has an active Treasury Stock account, the number of outstanding shares will not equal the number of shares issued. This should be reflected in the details on the stockholders' statement of equity.
Par and Issue Values
The value of stock shares reported on the statement may be listed at par value, a dollar amount often significantly lower than the actual issue price. For example, suppose stock is issued at $20 per share, but the par value recorded is $1 per share. On the financial statements, the dollar amounts for 10,000,000 shares issued could be listed as Common Stock valued at $10,000,000 plus Capital in Excess of Par as $190,000,000 for a total of $200,000,000. If shares of stock are issued at no-par, the statement will contain no amounts listed as Capital in Excess of Par. Instead, stock issued will be debited from Cash.
Net Worth
According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in company financial statements, liabilities plus stockholders' equity must equal the reported assets of a company, thus value of equity equals assets minus liabilities. The statement will show cash dividends paid plus dividends paid in shares of stock and will report retained earnings, if applicable. The total stockholders' equity at the end of the reporting year may be referred to as the company's net worth.

As a veteran graphic designer, I decided after many years to go back to school and earn my graduate degree. Over my career and while at the Savannah College of Art and Design I've learned a few lessons in both design and life. These are just a few. Students who are considering this field might want to see what lies ahead and perhaps think about these lessons learned.
I have been a practicing graphic designer for almost 30 years after receiving my BSD in Graphic Design from the University of Cincinnati. Recently, I went back to school and received an MA in Graphic Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Injury-depleted Indiana will be without starting guard Katie Douglas for several more weeks because of a bulging disc in her lower back.
Douglas played a key role in the Fever's title run last season, though she missed most of the finals with a severely sprained left ankle. This season, she averaged 17.5 points in the team's first two games but has not played since May 31. The defending champs started this season 1-5.
The list of injured Fever players includes center Jessica Davenport and guards Erin Phillips and Jeanette Pohlen.

Scott Porter: What do you feel are your greatest strengths?
Michael Thomas: I feel that my greatest strengths are my knowledge for the game. I understand my assignments well and I understand coverage's well. I know my responsibilities and am very dependable. I recognize formations and plays and that is really an advantage I have when playing each week.
Scott Porter: What are your goals for the NFL?
Michael Thomas: First my goal is to make a team after that I want to learn the playbook and system as quickly as possible to get in there and help my team win. I want to contribute in whatever way I am asked to help be part of a winning organization.
Scott Porter: What player in the NFL reminds you of yourself or one that you model your game after?
Michael Thomas: Troy Polamalu is a player I look at and try to model some of his game. I love the way he plays with fire and intensity. He has a lot of great traits anyone would want to model their game after. Eric Berry of the Kansas City Chiefs is another player I look at. I know he is young but he plays with a great passions and he is a playmaker.
Scott Porter: What type of a person and player is an NFL team getting in Michael Thomas?
Michael Thomas: They will be getting a very passionate player who loves the game of football. They will be getting a player who understands this is a business and will take it very serious. I will understand and learn from others what it takes to play at a high level. I will be a great teammate and I will be an added fire to the team who decides to give me a chance.
Scott Porter: What do you feel will be the toughest adjustment from the college level to the NFL level?
Michael Thomas: I think just the change in talent. You have to realize that everyone, every team, every week you are going against the best of the best. Nothing is easy in the NFL. I also think the mental aspect will be one of the more important adjustments I will have to pick up on. Getting my mind right to take on the challenge and prepare for what it will take to get to where I want to be. I look at the NFL as once you get there you have to work on being perfect otherwise you may not last long. Any player at any time can beat you so you have to bring your best effort otherwise you are going to fail terribly.
Scott Porter: What hobbies do you have off the field?
Michael Thomas: I like to listen to music. I like to relax in my free time when I have it. I also like to golf.
Scott Porter: What will you miss most about college football?
Michael Thomas: My teammates. That is easily what I will miss most.
Scott Porter: Did you have a favorite team and player growing up as a kid?
Michael Thomas: Not really a team, but in middle school I played QB because I wanted to be the next Michael Vick. I tried to model my QB game after Michael Vick.
Scott Porter: What would you say your biggest accomplishment playing football at Stanford has been?
Michael Thomas: I can remember my first start ever. We were playing against UCLA and I was having a very good game. I stripped the ball and returned it for a TD. My teammates always talk about that game. It was a great moment and one I will never forget.

May 9, 1999
TEMPE, Ariz.-The 13th-ranked Arizona State softball team (37-22, 8-17 Pac-10) had a total of five hits as they fell to the top-ranked Bruins (53-5, 20-5 Pac-10) Saturday night at Sun Devil Club Stadium. The Devils lost the first game by a score of 7-1 and were shut out in the back end of the doubleheader 4-0.
UCLA broke the first game open in their half of the third when leftfielder Amanda Freed led off with a solo home run to centerfield to put the Bruins up 2-1. They scored five more runs that same inning on four hits and a Sun Devil error.
Arizona State scored their lone run of the game in the second on centerfielder Jen Langenhuizen's RBI double to deep center that scored Erin Wardein all the way from first.
Freshman Kirsten Voak picked up the loss for the Devils, falling to 20-12 on the season. Voak game up five runs (three earned) on seven hits, two strikeouts and three walks.
Tonight's games were the last to be played at Sun Devil Club Stadium, giving way to construction that will bring in a new state-of-the-art facility next season.
The Sun Devils travel to Tucson on Saturday, May 15, to take on the Arizona Wildcats in a doubleheader to close out the regular season.
At the plate, Voak was 1-for-2 with an infield single. Missy Hixon, Nichole Thompson, and Langanhuizen each had one hit for the Devils.
For the Bruins offensively, Freed had a 3-for-4 outing with one RBI and a run scored while centerfielder Christie Ambrosi went 2-for-5 with two runs knocked in.

Starter Erica Beach got the loss for the Devils and fell to 16-11. Over five innings, she gave up four hits, only two of them earned, on nine hits, two walks, and three strikeouts.

In which I pimp foobar2000
Well, if I've been going through music burnout as I mention in my previous post, at least it's been mitigated by the fact that my recent spike in interest in computer nerditude has led me to upgrade my playback software to foobar2000 v0.9 (from v0.7 — it's been a while since I upgraded). This is really the ultimate music playing software for the slightly geeky crowd. It's practically infinitely customizable, though since it comes with a totally bare-bones, ugly interface, it's not really for the casual computer user, and won't be fully appreciated except by those who really want to take the time to customize their music software.
Aside from the customizable user interface, foobar also has amazing batch tagging capabilities, native support for a wide array of popular audio formats, including OGG and FLAC, powerful organizational possibilities through an album database function, ReplayGain support to deal with albums of widely different mastering levels, and the fact that it's stable, bug-free, and will run breezily on systems that bloated pieces of shit like RealPlayer, iTunes, Windows Media Player and some versions of WinAmp would slow to a crawl.
Below is what I've done with my foobar (I cheated and stole someone else's basic config, then built around it); you can click the thumb for a full-size version. I usually have it taking up most of the real estate on my secondary display:
For those interested, check out the foobar2000 official website for a download of the stable 0.9 build (if the TAGZ scripting language scares you off, you can always do what I did and steal someone else's config from forum threads like this or this), read the extremely active and helpful official forums for hints on how to customize the look and feel, and download what I think are the most essential plugins for the latest version (one of the examples of how unfriendly foobar is to unsuspecting non-geeks is that new versions are almost never backwards compatible with plugins written for older versions):
- foo_ui_columns Columns User Interface — the one single plugin you need to make foobar actually start looking good; an absolute must.
- foo_uie_albumart Album Art — displays the cover artwork for the currently playing album in a Columns UI sidebar. Requires a bit of work to get all the cover scans you need, but it's well worth it and you can use software like the Album Art Aggregator to make the process easier. (See the upper left of my screenshot above.)
- foo_uie_albumlist Album List Panel — Adds the powerful database-driven album list functionality (allowing searching and sorting by artist, album, genre, directory structure, and more) to a sidebar panel using Columns UI. (See the lower left of my screenshot above.)
- foo_infobox File Info Box — Adds essential tag-editing functionality, especially for torrented files.
- foo_input_shorten SHN decoder — adds support for the mildly popular Shorten lossless format. Mostly for folks interested in live recordings and torrents.
- foo_playcount Playback Statistics — tracks how many times you've played a song. Inessential but fun.
Between foobar, the Exact Audio Copy CD ripping program, and the LAME MP3 encoder, I have everything I need to encode my entire music collection to convenient electronic files — and all these software packages are completely free. I now have my computer hooked into my amp and bookshelf speakers instead of using crappy computer speakers, so this is pretty much how I listen to all my music at home these days.
Ok, here ends my plug. I've been having fun playing with foobar for a couple days now; hopefully soon my excitement for the music itself will get back up to its normal levels!

Big Dawg unveils an updated 'Tartuffe'
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 2:34 p.m.
The small black box theater at Cape Fear Playhouse suits Eric Kildow just right. A drama instructor at Coastal Carolina Community College in Jacksonville, Kildow loves to see actors shine.
What: "Tartuffe," by Moliere, presented by
Big Dawg Productions
When: 8 p.m. Sept. 19-21, 26-28 and Oct.
3-5; 3 p.m. Sept. 22, 29 and Oct. 6
Where: Cape Fear Playhouse, 613 Castle
St., Wilmington
Tickets: $20; $18 for seniors and military;
$15 on Thursdays
Details: 367-5237 or BigDawgProductions.
He's working with the New River Players at CCCC and has worked extensively with Burning Coal Theatre Co. in Raleigh.
Kildow thinks he's found a good fit with Big Dawg Productions, who hired him to direct Moliere's comedy "Tartuffe," which opens Sept. 19 at Cape Fear Playhouse.
"Big Dawg is all about the actor. Sometimes, it's hard to find an actor's theater," said Kildow, who has directed numerous shows in Savannah, Ga., Raleigh and even Hamburg, Germany. "An actor's theater that focuses on the connection between the actor and audience is very nice to work with."
Jim Swan returns to the Wilmington stage to play Tartuffe, the imposter who worms his way into Orgon's house and becomes heir to the family fortune. Though Orgon (J.R. Rodriguez) is snowed by Tartuffe, Orgon's family is not.
Kildow has updated "Tartuffe" to the late 1980s/early 1990s, which he points out is the era of televangelism scandals. In French, "Tartuffe" has become an accepted synonym for hypocrite, specifically a religious hypocrite.
Mike Voorheis: 343-2205

I need to do a bit of catching up on happenings in the world of basketball today. Forgive the fact that some of the events behind these comments are more than a week old. The most important basketball event of recent times was the $250K fine levied on the San Antonio Spurs by David Stern because the Spurs did not dress four of their star players for a game against the Miami Heat that was on national TV. Some have seen that as improper meddling by the NBA Commissioner into a team's strategic decisions; others believe that David Stern acted in the best interests of the league and the sport by making it clear that ratings for nationally televised games are critical to the success of the league.
Both sides have a point; there is merit on both sides of the argument here. [Aside: Since I rarely have much to say about David Stern that is flattering, you have to appreciate the multiple layers of this matter.] My issue with the punishment levied here is what happens in the future. Clearly, this fine was precedent setting and I have to think that the NBA aspires to treating all teams equally under similar circumstances. Cue Hamlet here:
"Aye, there's the rub."
What exactly are the circumstances that caused the Commissioner to come down on the Spurs like an avalanche?
Did they rest too many players at the same time? Would it have been OK only to rest two of the star players in that game?
If the game were not on national TV – say it was a Wednesday night game in Cleveland – and the Spurs rested those same players, would that result in a fine? If not, does that mean that the fans who paid to see that game in Cleveland are somehow less important than the fans who might watch a game on national TV or attend a game in Miami? [Yes, I purposely picked Cleveland and Miami as the two cities to place in apposition here…]
In February and March, teams with playoff positions solidified will all start to rest veteran players – by either sitting them out for a game or reducing their minutes significantly. Will the NBA be monitoring those game decisions? If so, what might be its criteria for deciding when to levy a fine?
Was the Spurs' sin actually the admission that the players were given the night off to rest instead of reporting/pretending that they had elbow tendonitis? If that is the case, one might predict an epidemic of elbow tendonitis to break out among NBA players in the next several months. Who knew tendonitis was contagious? Call the Nobel Committee…
There is no way David Stern or his understudy can possibly run the league if they are going to involve themselves in coaching decisions related to who plays and who does not play on any given night. Moreover, the fine levied in this case encourages teams and coaches to engage in subterfuge with regard to injuries/playing decisions. And that is not good because…
What was it that Tim Donaghy had that was worth "selling" to his gambling friends?
Donaghy knew which officiating teams were assigned to upcoming games and for some bizarre reason the NBA held that information like a state secret. That information thereby became valuable. Take a look at the situation here. If a gambler knew in advance when the Spurs were going to give 4 star players the night off… You would have thought David Stern and the NBA would have learned about the silliness of creating a category of secret information that does not need to be secret from the Donaghy mess.
One more thing, David Stern said that he levied the fine because the surprise benching of the star players did not show proper respect for the fans who wanted to see these two top teams play at top strength. OK, I can agree with that. Now, since David Stern has decided to focus on such fine-grained matters, might I ask him why he allowed – and how will he prevent in the future – making any NBA team play four games in five nights in four different cities?
Enough about that… I have a question for the fans of the Philadelphia 76ers:
How is that trade for Andrew Bynum working out?
The day the trade was announced, I wrote here that Bynum – talented as he may be – was a bad fit for Philadelphia. Bynum is often injured and seems always to recover from injury very slowly. If he ever plays in a Sixers' uniform, he will bring a history of 12 points and 8 rebounds per game to the court at a price of $16,473,002 this year. In a blue-collar town like Philly, that might work if he hit the court and played with some kind of ferocity/intensity. He won't.
Men's college basketball is underway. The devaluation of the college basketball season as a result of the intense focus on March Madness continues. Bob Molinaro had this cogent observation about the state of college basketball in the Hampton Roads Virginian-Pilot recently:
"Time to end the gimmick of playing college basketball on aircraft carriers. Games in Charleston, S.C., and Jacksonville were sabotaged by condensation on the court, while San Diego's high winds contributed to another travesty. Playing college games outdoors is further evidence of how lightly the sport is taken in November. The powers that be in TV and college think they have to attract attention with sideshows."
Seriously, what is the next gimmick these folks might want to try to draw lots attention to an early season college basketball game? Play it in a submerged submarine? How about joining with the NHL – if the NHL ever plays again – and have a college basketball game outdoors on a platform above the ice at the Winter Classic? Or maybe on the White House lawn?
Here is the problem that NCAA basketball mavens do not want to confront:
There are too many games on television; the product has been diluted to homeopathic levels. Televised collegiate basketball games prior to the NCAA Tournament are not events; at best, they are occurrences; at times, they are annoyances.
Finally, let me close today with one more observation from Bob Molinaro regarding college basketball on TV:
"With its men's basketball teams scheduled to appear on TV this season 327 times – 201 on national networks – the ACC will prove the axiom that more is less."
However, do not get me wrong, I love sports…

SALT LAKE CITY — Tea party activist Gregory Peterson once hosted some of Utah's biggest Republican names at a barbecue at his Wasatch County cabin. Among them were U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, Gov. Gary Herbert and Mia Love, the up-and-coming mayor of Saratoga Springs who is locked in a dead heat to unseat six-term Congressman Jim Matheson.
Peterson was a regular at GOP functions as the creator of the Rocky Mountain Conservatives group. He held fundraisers and even organized a debate between two GOP candidates for Utah attorney general.
It all came crashing down in July, when he was charged with sexually assaulting women at the cabin. On Tuesday, he was found dead there in what authorities called an apparent suicide.
Cara Tangaro, one of his attorneys, said she had spent many hours with Peterson on his criminal case.
"He's always maintained his innocence, and we felt like he was excited to be out and to be able to work with us on preparing his case," she said. "Quite frankly, this is the last thing we expected."
Peterson pleaded not guilty to 23 felony charges, including assault, rape and kidnapping. In August, four women from Salt Lake City and one from Wasatch County testified at a preliminary hearing that he had sexually assaulted them.
Some said they had met him on Mormon dating websites and at church functions.
Peterson was jailed after his arrest in July and held until posting $2 million bail on Oct. 19. He was due back in court on Nov. 2.
Tangaro said he had been elated on his first night out of jail.
But just four days later, two bail bond agents were dispatched to the cabin to check on him because his ankle monitor was not responding. Wasatch County Chief Deputy Jared Rigby confirmed that Peterson was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Peterson, a certified public accountant and the owner of Peterson Wealth Management, had been a fixture at Utah Republican gatherings.
Utah Republican Party Chairman Thomas Wright declined to comment Wednesday on his death, saying Peterson had no official role with the party.
Lynn Robertson, a victim's advocate for Wasatch County, said she notified one of the alleged victims of his death.
"We were all kind of speechless at that point. It just happened so quickly," Robertson said.
Tangaro said Peterson had a master's degree, a good job and good reputation, but his ties to the Republican Party seemed to fuel media coverage of his arrest. He worried he might not be able to overcome that coverage, she said.
"As his legal team, we were very much looking forward to putting this case in front of a jury, and when a jury got to hear his side of the story, we definitely felt like an acquittal was a possibility," she said. "We're frustrated that this is how it ended, and we're sad that this is how it ended. I don't know why Greg did what he did. Only he knows that."

Alternate Definition of Flogging
By johnc on Feb 21, 2006
FlexRex, the Fictional Blogger, has a definition of flogging that may just beat mine. Maybe we can combine the two. We take lots of screenshots, fax them to someone, then have them flip through them to simulate animation. That's how they did flash demos in the old days!
In school I always used to draw the little stick men walking doing weird stuff on the bottom of my binder. Anything to get me through to that cigarette under the bleachers at lunchtime. BTW - I've actually stuck to my New Year's Resolution of death. One month, 21 days with no smokes. Feels good, just hope I can walk the line on that next >3 tequila night.
And to continue my tangent-fest, I watched Walk the Line last night, and promptly decided to never see a biographical film ever again in my life. It's not that the acting was bad (they both did all right) or that it looked like lip-singing (both Phoenix and Reeces Pieces actually sang all the songs, especially impressive for Reeces doing Sue Carter), it's just that no matter how good it is, it really is just someone doing a celebrity impersonation for an hour and half. Just starts dragging.

This past August we featured a remarkable article titled " Read, Think, Write, and Publish ," by the SOUTHCOM commander Admiral James Stavridis. This was a clarion call by one of the Navy's most senior leaders urging officers and enlisted personnel to write professional articles for journals such as Proceedings . Admiral Stavridis made clear he was not talking about mealy-mouthed platitudes, either. "Have the courage to write, publish, and be heard," he declared.
The admiral's words encouraged us to hope that we would soon be flooded by submissions that, as he put it, challenged assumptions and the accepted wisdom. Well, so far, not much has changed. We still receive a few stories that go against the conventional grain, but we are hardly drowning in them.
Retired Captain William Toti joins the admiral in encouraging professional writing by active-duty Sailors, but parts company with him on the question of damage to career. In "Write with Your Eyes Wide Open," Captain Toti warns that writing, no matter how well-intentioned, can be hazardous to the professional health of the Sailor/author and provides a number of examples in which more senior officers told him he was doing himself no good by his frequent forays into print.
Our October issue carried a one-page salute to the Marine Corps on the occasion of its 233rd birthday. It was a lovely, warm, somewhat romantic piece celebrating the Corps and its family-like qualities. There was one problem, and it was a big one: The article talked of fathers and sons, but made no mention of the thousands of women Marines now serving in the combat zones of Iraq and Afghanistan. Much of the criticism was aimed at the author, Andrew Lubin. He was the wrong target, but he felt terrible, anyhow. His son is a Marine, but so was his mother.
The criticism should rightly have been aimed at me. From time to time reporters lose perspective or simply just forget something important, as Andrew did. I can't count the number of times I did that in my reporting days. The editor's job sometimes involves saving reporters from themselves when their excitement over a story makes them overreach or blank on a key element. In short, an editor is a reporter's safety net. I was Andrew's editor. It was my fault, not his.
In recent weeks the Marines lost two of their legends, General Bob Barrow and Colonel John Ripley. General Barrow fought in three wars, then, as the Corps' 27th Commandant, ushered in reforms that made a great fighting force even greater. The word hero was coined for men like Colonel Ripley, whose name will always trigger the phrase "Ripley at the Bridge." We pay tribute to both in this issue.
We also say thanks and farewell to Joe Campa, the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, who surprised many by announcing his retirement in early November. He will not be easy to replace.

Prior to the last Australian election the opposition promised to abolish Section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act, the section which suppressed debate on public policy so long as some
whiney thin skinned whinger individual felt themselves insulted, humiliated, offended or intimidated on the basis of ethnicity or race.
However, as a result of the level of objection, by people who would never vote for this government anyway, the Prime Minister yesterday announced that this promise would be dropped.
Last night I sent the following email to my local Liberal Party MP:
I voted Liberal at the last Federal election happy in the knowledge that the hateful imposition on free speech, Section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act, was to be abolished.
I am bitterly disappointed that the Party is failing to live up to its name and follow through on this commitment. That the Party has capitulated to the bigots and hate groups who wish to control what Australians may be permitted to say and think leaves me wondering if principle is an issue any longer.
The main problem with this legislation, apart from its mere existence, is the discriminatory manner in which it is applied. It is used to close down opinion as expressed by your natural supporters, such as Andrew Bolt, but your opponents, such as the now exposed Judeophobic Mike Carlton, are free to say as they wish.
That principle is not a prime motivator of the Party I now have to accept, but that you don't act to support those who support you is a further disappointment.
Please be advised, I will, in future, be supporting and promoting the Liberal Democratic Party.
A joke doing the rounds – People voted Liberal Democrat falsely thinking they were voting for the Liberal Party, others voted for the Liberal Party, falsely thinking they were voting for a liberal party.
Truth is often found in humour.
This morning I received the following reply:
Dear Mr Cats,
Thank you for your email regarding section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act. Mrs Andrews understands your concerns and has requested that I reply to you on her behalf.
Please be assured that Mrs Andrews respects the points you have raised and appreciates the time you have taken to share your thoughts on this matter.
To which I replied – in my anger:
Thank you for a reply so devoid of content, and so meaningless, that even to send it was an insult.
A couple of minutes ago, I received the following – polite, courteous, and quite reasonable in its response:
Dear Mr Cats,
I apologies if my previous email offended you.
It was intended to inform you that indeed your email had been received by the McPherson electorate office and your thoughts and comments had been drawn to Mrs Andrews's attention.
Rather than replying with a standard email to confirm receipt of your correspondence I intended to convey the appreciation that Mrs Andrews has for the time you had taken to share your feedback on this matter.
With your approval we can send your email directly to Senator Brandis. However, your feedback has already been raised directly.
Please accept my sincerest apologies if my actions have offended you in any way.
Still, I remain enraged at yet another failure of liberal principles by this disappointing government.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Junior first baseman Austen Smith, freshman second baseman Kyle Overstreet and sophomore right fielder Ben Moore combined for eight runs batted in, as the Alabama bats led the Crimson Tide to victory over Tulane, 12-6, at Sewell-Thomas Stadium on Sunday. Alabama moves to 8-3 after the win and Tulane drops to 6-6.
"The biggest thing today was the win," UA head coach Mitch Gaspard said. "We needed to get a win after this weekend. After really struggling on the offensive end of things the first two games, it was nice to get some flow in the line-up."
Trailing 5-4 heading to the bottom of the sixth inning, Alabama batted around and exploded for six runs in the inning after two were out. Georgie Salem walked and Mikey White doubled of the wall to spark the rally. Moore then delivered a double that bounced over the left field wall to score both Salem and White, giving the Tide a 6-5 advantage. After Booth and Roberts walked to load the bases, Smith singled to center field to make it 8-5, then Overstreet capped the inning with a two-run single, making the score 10-5 in favor of the Tide.
Smith and Overstreet had two hits and three RBIs each and Moore pitched in with a 2-for-4 performance that included two RBIs and two runs scored. Freshman shortstop Mikey White, senior third baseman Kenny Roberts and senior designated hitter Andrew Miller all drove in a run for the Tide as well. Booth reached base four times in the game, including three walks and being hit by a pitch, and scored three times. Roberts was 1-for-3 with two walks and three runs scored.
"Ben (Moore) and Smith (Austen) had a good day, but some other guys had some good swings too," Gaspard said. "We give a lead up, but we have the ability to respond and take it back. I thought Ray Castillo did a really good job again out of the bullpen for us."
Freshman righty Ray Castillo (2-0) set career highs in innings pitched (4.1) and strikeouts (6) to earn the win, allowing a solo home run to right in the game. Brady Wilson (0-1) was charged with the loss for Tulane after throwing 2.1 innings, allowing two runs on two hits with three walks and three strikeouts.
UA sophomore righty Spencer Turnbull got the start, lasting 4.2 innings despite tying his career-high in strikeouts with six. Turnbull gave up five runs on eight hits with three walks. Tulane starter Kyle McKenzie want 3.1 innings, giving up four runs (two earned) on five hits with four walks and four strikeouts.
The Green Wave loaded the base in the first inning and were able to push a run across on an infield ground out, before Turnbull struck out two to get out of it. Turnbull settled in from there, keeping the Tulane lineup in check through the four innings.
Alabama was the beneficiary of miscues by the Green Wave defense in a four-run fourth, as a throwing error on Roberts' at-bat allowed Booth to score from second and Moore from third on Smith's RBI single the next at-bat. The freshmen got in on the scoring as well, with an Overstreet RBI sacrifice fly and a White bases-loaded walk to put the Tide up 4-1 after four.
After Tulane put up four runs of their own in the top of the fifth, Turnbull was chased in favor of Castillo, who held the Tulane offense to only one run for the rest of the day.
The Tide capitalized on Castillo's command of the mound, batting around the lineup in both the fourth and sixth innings.
The lone run off Castillo came in the eighth inning when Tulane's Bowen Woodson hit a two-out, solo home run in the eighth inning. Once again, Alabama responded, scoring two more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, thanks to a bases loaded balk and a sacrifice fly to cap the scoring at 12-6.
The Alabama Crimson Tide returns to action on Tuesday, March 5th, when it meets the Auburn Tigers in the Capital City Classic. First pitch is set for 7:00 p.m. CT, from Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery.

Do you know how to read organic packaged food labels? Label designations can be a bit deceiving. That box you pulled off the supermarket shelf is labeled "organic". That doesn't mean it's 100% organic. In the minds of food manufacturers and the USDA, there are three kinds of organic. What are the three label designations for packaged organic food? What does each signify? How can you make sure your food is 100% organic? Learning how to read organic packaged food labels is a must for those concerned with their health. Don't be taken in by misleading labels.
Three kinds of organic labels:
The three kinds of organic packaged label designations are "100% Organic", "Organic" and made with "Organic Ingredients". Each designation has a required minimum percentage of organic ingredients. How can you be sure your food is 100% organic? The only way to be positive is by learning to read organic food labels. So, what is the difference between the three organic food label designations?
100% Organic
Just as you would think, a food package labeled 100% organic is made completely from organic ingredients. If you don't see the words 100% organic on the label, the food you have chosen has either partial organic ingredients or none at all. The other two organic label designations are somewhat deceptive. This is because the percentage of organic ingredients is not disclosed in the designation.
Packaged food that's labeled organic has the next highest organic ingredient percentage. In order to be labeled organic, packaged food products must contain at least 95% organic ingredients. You would think that products labeled organic would be 100% organic. Sadly, that is not the case. That just goes to show you how important it is to learn to read organic labels and know your percentages before shopping.
Made with organic ingredients
In my opinion, the wording on this organic label designation is perhaps the most deceptive. When reading a package stating "Made With Organic Ingredients", one might assume that all the ingredients are organic. Unfortunately, this is not true. Products labeled, "Made With Organic Ingredients" only have to be 70% organic.
That leaves a whopping 30% of room for all the bad stuff.
What's allowed
Unfortunately, the last two label designations leave room for either 5% or 30% of the bad stuff. What does this mean? Well, since either 5% or 30% of the ingredients do not have to be organic, this allows manufacturers or processors to include some items you may not associated with organic foods. The remaining percentage can include synthetic substances, such as used to produce crops. This may include pesticide ingredients. It can also include synthetic products used in livestock production, such as synthetic growth hormones and antibiotics.
Grow your own
That last paragraph was pretty scary, right? We don't know what might be included in that additional 5% or 30%. How can you be absolutely certain food is 100% organic? Don't trust the word organic unless it's accompanied by 100%. Learn to read organic food labels. Purchase only food labeled 100% organic. Grow your own fruits and vegetables to supplement store bought organic items. Knowing how to read organic food labels insures that all the food you put in your family's mouths is 100% organic.

The moment Yolanda and Kelly begin their endeavor of solving a cold case, they draw the viewer in. No egos involved here. Patient, thorough, skillful, their work begins meeting with family members of the victim and working with law enforcement who have reached a seemingly deadend in a case.
Yolanda and Kelly begin with creating a chart depicting information gathered from a previous time. Go with them to the scene of the crime where members of their team recreate the event. Fresh interviews of suspects, witnesses and associates are conducted with Kelly and Yolanda listening behind the scenes. A fresh perspective from Kelly and Yolanda brings a spark into the case.
