In order to celebrate the sesquicentennial, or 150th birthday, of Kansas, Seward County Community College/Area Technical School is promoting Saints in Service during the last week of March.
Saints in Service would consist of campus club members volunteering to help in the community. The goal is to reach 150 hours of community service; however, there is no limit to the number of hours Saints can volunteer.
"We want to give back to the community, since throughout the Foundation the community helps the college," Wade Lyon, director of student activities, said.
A way to implement the celebration of 150 years since the birth of Kansas was to tie it with the Saints in Service, Lyon said. "Afterward, we could give back to the community every year."
Celeste Donovan, dean of student services, and Lyon are working towards incorporating campus clubs with the community. SCCC/ATS clubs and organizations will be asked for their support in helping with the celebration of the sesquicentennial of Kansas.
Activities that students may be performing during Saints In Service include, but are not limited to, painting, raking, reading, moving items and even building a garden for the Mosaic center. Donovan said those who would like to be considered for a Saints In Service project or activity should contact Lyon at 417-1064 by March 16. Lyon said projects are open to help not only the organizations, but also the community in general.
The community service will be distributed based on club interests. "For example, the criminal justice club wants to clear up graffiti," Donovan said. If a club shows interests, they can request volunteer work in that area.
Even the city of Liberal was named after a liberal and generous man, Mr. S.S. Rogers, who gave water out freely to travellers. "You have a lot of determination in Kansas, the Dust Bowl affected the land, but farmers did not leave," Emery Swagerty, librarian technician, said. "The determination of the pioneers of Kansas is still with us, Greensburg was destroyed by a tornado, but now it is being rebuilt. Saints helped the community, and now they are doing it again."

A little love story about nurturing one's self as well as others.
She lives on the edge of the woods in Maine on a piece of pretty nice dirt with the husband and the person they made and a whole mess of domesticated mammals and snakes that live in the walls of her house. One of her cats brings her rodent hearts and she resists placing them in glass jars. She does however walk barefoot in the mud. She makes delicate artwork…delicate like brick wrapped in a lace doily.

Teleflex grabs Israel startup with next-gen microlaparoscopy tech
Medical device maker Teleflex ($TFX) is snatching up a promising Israeli startup focused on minimally invasive microlaparoscopy surgical technology.
Teleflex said it sees its purchase of the four-year-old Eon Surgical as a way to boost adoption of microlaparoscopy procedures, which aren't widespread yet because there aren't that many devices on the market to enable the approach.
Reinforcing this point, Teleflex chairman, president and CEO Benson Smith added in a statement that the deal will be a good growth engine for his company and "will greatly expand Teleflex's offerings that address the significant market opportunity for minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures."
Neither side is giving up any details of Teleflex's acquisition of Eon Surgical. But with the sale, Israel continues to build its reputation as a developer of medical device, med tech and biotech startups that catch the eye of larger multinational companies.
Eon launched four years ago and joined Israel's RAD BioMed startup accelerator program in 2010. Its focus: development of surgical tools to enable scarless, next-generation laparoscopic surgeries. And Teleflex termed Eon a "late stage development" company, which means its products are close to approval.
Teleflex is also expanding in other areas. Last July the company snatched up California catheter firm Hotspur Technologies for $15 million, which already had three 510(k) and CE marketed catheters designed to boost the efficiency of treatments for blocked blood vessels. It recently snagged a CE mark for its GPS Gath balloon catheter, another product acquired as part of that acquisition.
Teleflex's latest acquisition continues a trend that became pretty robust in 2012, when the company pursued a number of M&A deals to acquire new products and technology.

Model Kit, Rocket, Saturn V, 1:96
This Saturn V model kit was built and sold by Revell, Inc. The Saturn V was the world's largest operational launch vehicle and first launched a piloted Apollo spacecraft in December 1968 when the crew of Apollo 8 were placed into lunar orbit. In July 1969 the rocket sent astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edward Aldrin, Jr. of Apollo 11 to the surface of the Moon while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit. Saturn V was utilized in the remaining six Apollo missions to the moon during 1969-1972 and to launch the Skylab Orbital Workshop into Earth orbit in May 1973.
The illustration on the cover of the unassembled model kit appealed to prospective buyers with photography of the model that emphasized its size and accuracy. This model was found in the collection.

Juvenile Bonefish Habitats
While it may seem self-evident that healthy habitats are essential for healthy fisheries, in many cases habitat is not part of fisheries management plans. One of the challenges to including habitat in fisheries management plans is that habitat use by many species is not known. This is the case for bonefish, Albula vulpes, whose habitat use patterns are not sufficiently documented for effective conservation. Because the juvenile life stage is the most susceptible to harm from habitat loss and degradation, of particular concern is identifying juvenile bonefish habitats.
Although overfishing is most often listed as causing declines of fish populations, loss and degradation of habitats is at least as important. This is especially true for fisheries that are primarily catch and release, such as bonefish. Habitats essential to supporting juvenile fishes are called nurseries. If juvenile fish don't have habitats where they can grow and be protected from predators, then not enough juveniles will survive to adulthood, and the fishery will decline. Nurseries are especially susceptible to habitat degradation because they tend to occur in shallow, coastal areas that are impacted by human activities.
Potential loss of nursery habitats is especially troubling because the impacts of this habitat loss may not be felt for many years. This is especially true for long-lived species like bonefish, which can live 20 years or more. As long-lived species age, their growth rate slows and fish of a wide age range may be of similar size. Thus, it is difficult to determine the age structure of the population – are there enough young fish to replace the aging fish each year? In a worst case scenario, if very few juveniles are surviving each year, the population decline won't be seen until the older fish begin to die off without being replaced by enough juveniles. This means that
by the time the problem is realized, it may be years too late. Since juvenile bonefish habitats remain unknown, and the potential negative impacts to the bonefish population are large, it is important to determine what type of habitats are required by juvenile bonefish. Once juvenile bonefish habitat types are identified, future research can address how widespread these juvenile habitats are, and the extent that juveniles are surviving to adulthood.
Ongoing Research
During previous work in the Florida Keys, South Florida, Southwest Florida, and Belize, more than 1,000 juvenile bonefish were captured along sandy beaches. However, more than 95% of these juveniles were genetically identified as Albula garcia, a bonefish species that looks like Albula vulpes, but constitutes less than 4% of the recreational fishery. In other words, we found juvenile bonefish, but not the species that supports the fishery. In addition to sandy beaches, we also sampled mangrove shorelines, seagrass beds, and rocky shorelines, and caught very few juvenile bonefish. The information collected thus far is pointing toward open sandy areas greater than four feet in depth as the likely habitat for juvenile Albula vulpes. If you find juvenile bonefish less than 6" long (not on sandy beaches), please let us know.
BTT is currently supporting research in The Bahamas to identify juvenile bonefish habitats. Since the bonefish population in The Bahamas is so large, BTT has refocused here because more fish should increase the likelihood of finding juveniles. Thus far, results are pointing to deeper sandy bottoms, as previous work suggested, as the primary juvenile Albula vulpes habitat. Once juvenile bonefish habitat is identified, efforts will turn toward habitat conservation.

We often hear a lot about technologies and we all know that those are truly helpful to us. In schools, we have seen a lot of computers. Whether they are in mobile pods, in the library, in labs, or in individual classrooms, all the computers are actually there using systems such as beaute pacifique. However, what will it takes in making sure that those computers can be used in high quality learning tools? Nowadays' high technology innovations have a little effect when it comes on educational at school. Of course, technology can be helpful especially at schools because teacher can now teach children with no difficulties like using those LCD projectors instead of writing in the blackboards as their instructional materials. Of course, children can learn well using these kinds of instructional materials. They are more enjoyed because they can see high technologies being used even at school. Since we are now living and embracing the computer world, then technologies can be used for learning at schools. With the advancement of the technology today, almost everything is turned into technologies and computers. But, not all the things can be turned into technology. It is truly a helpful one as it makes all the school activities easy and simple.
A library with high technology like the use of computers, based on the beaute pacifique software or advanced ERP business intelligence software, is truly advantage to all students. In time, they search or do a research, so it is easy for them to see immediately the research they want to do. You only browse the topic of your research and instantly you will come up with results. Many schools today use technologies in laboratories. You can see technologies which you have not seen it before during your school days. But it doesn't matter as long as you are also learning before. No matter what they say, technology will always be advantage to us and in our daily lives. Technology will always be at your hand. It can be easy for us to use it in our daily lives.
Try to imagine having technologies such as beaute pacifique at your school. Since we are now living in the world that embraces technology. It is the right time to teach children even at school to learn how these things being used and the advantage of using it. So, it is good that children are already aware on the technologies today and how it helps in the future. Technologies at school which are being used as instructional materials are truly excellent. Many have said that technologies don't help us in any ways. But this is not a right perception. You need to know first its functions and how does it provides us good benefits. Many people have wrong insights on technologies because they don't realize how much it helps a lot today. The reason why schools are now using technologies, they want to teach children and realize how it helps them. Another way around, they can make any works as long as there are available technology to be used for the said work. Technologies such as beaute pacifique will someday be considered outstanding because of its useful aspect.

City Blogger: A lighter shade of maroon...
- 13 February 2014 11:51
- Posted by @darrylwebster
Canadian Blue Darryl Webster discusses national and civic pride in his latest blog piece...
We Canadians aren't traditionally known for flaunting our nationalism as much as say, the Americans or the Brits (yes Britain, you and your madness for bunting are just as guilty as Canada's neighbours to the south). But every four years Canadians everywhere become glued to televisions; holding our collective breath as our women and men wearing what I prefer to call a lighter shade of maroon, perform dazzling triple-Salchows and death-defying Michalchuks.
A nearly uncontrollable urge comes over us, this insatiable need to don red mittens, pom-pom topped toques and drink a certain brand of beer –- not because that beer is particularly awesome, but rather our nation's largest brewer is a marketing savant when it comes to tapping into Canadian pride. And then of course there's hockey. Always hockey.
I am fortunate enough to be in Manchester at the moment, and it has been suggested that perhaps I am the jinx responsible for City's recent form and the awful weather. Wednesday afternoon however my allegiance to the maple leaf was thankfully unable to jinx the Canadian women's hockey team, as they defeated our worthy opponents, the United States by a single goal. Afterwards, I couldn't help but throw on my Team Canada jersey and stroll proudly towards Shambles Square. There was no celebratory welcome when I arrived, though one nice gentleman carrying grocery bags seemed to offer a knowing smile.
If the National pride I was born into and hold so dear is only celebrated on special occasions, by contrast my exhibitions of civic pride are almost daily. From the city I was raised in, to the two that I have called home since, you'll rarely find me without some sort of banner for Toronto, Los Angeles or Manchester. One perfect example would be my morning brew held religiously in a certain mug bearing a certain hashtag. 2012. Champions.
I suppose while I'm over here, a bit of healthy Canadian flag waving might rub one or two of my British friends the wrong way, so let me just remind you the tie between our countries remains strong. I scarcely meet anyone in the UK who doesn't have family living in the Great White North and the Queen still features prominently on our currency -- though if it were my choice of Brit on our money I'd go with Joe Hart or Phil Taylor, "Hey Bud, can ya spot me a Phil Taylor, I need to buy a pack of darts!" Wouldn't that be a great way to hear someone purchase what we call cigarettes.
For the past six months I have been fortunate enough to write about the greatest football club and the greatest fans in the entire world. I know City supporters are the sort who won't mind granting me this quick Olympic interlude to speak a bit about my home and native land and perhaps, just for a few weeks, they will forgive me for supporting what I carefully consider a lighter shade of maroon.

Still fluorescing after all these years
Fluorescein is one of the most commonly used fluorescent dyes. The absorption maximum of its basic solutions is at about 494 nm, resulting in a yellowish-orange color. But, when viewed at a right angle to the incident light, an intense, green fluorescence is observed with a maximum at 521 nm. The fluorescence results when some of the absorbed radiation is emitted as less energetic photons, hence the higher wavelength of emission compared to that of excitation (the rest of the absorbed energy is given off as heat).
In the picture above, you can see both the green fluorescence and the yellow-orange transmitted light.
During my postdoc years I did quite a bit of fluorescence spectroscopy. Fluorescein and its derivatives were among the often used dyes in our arsenal. So when I was leaving the lab for good in the fall of 1991 for my current desk job, I took a small bottle of fluorescein solution as a memento. It is still green.

Traders See Alcoa Inc Sinking Through Fall
Schaeffer's Investment Research
Put volume is sky high on AA, thanks to trading activity at the October 7 strike.
Puts are trading at 11 times their normal rate today in
Alcoa Inc's
(NYSE:AA) options pits, with about 30,000 puts total having changed hands so far. More than one-third of that action has taken place at the October 7 strike, where over 10,000 contracts have crossed the tape in a series of mid-to-large-sized blocks.
All of the AA options traded at the ask price, suggesting they were bought. With implied volatility up 3 percentage points, and open interest of roughly 6,200 contracts at the strike, it's safe to say the bearish bets were freshly initiated at volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $0.06.
Therefore, in order for the traders to profit, Alcoa shares must dip to $6.94 (strike price less the VWAP) -- a significant move, considering the stock is currently trading at $8.06 -- by October options expiration. If the slide doesn't materialize, however, the most the speculators have at stake is the modest initial premium paid.
Another large block of puts at the January 2014 7 strike recently crossed the tape, trading at the ask price of $0.20 per contract. This particular speculator is allowing a little more time for AA to make a downward move, as the stock has more than five months to breach breakeven of $6.80 (strike price less the premium paid).
The attention being paid to puts over calls is nothing new for AA. According to data from the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), the stock shows a 10-day put/call volume ratio of 0.76. That ratio is just 8 percentage points shy of an annual acme, which suggests traders have been scooping up puts relative to calls at an accelerated clip over the past two weeks.
Elsewhere, Wall Street is bearish on the
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) component. Just five out of 14
covering analysts
rate AA a "buy" or better, compared to six "holds" and three "strong sell" recommendations. Additionally,
short interest
now makes up more than 10% of the aluminum producer's outstanding float, which represents nine days' worth of buying demand, at typical daily trading volumes.
That the winds of pessimism are swirling around Alcoa is no surprise. Technically, the equity has had a less-than-spectacular run, down close to 7% year-to-date. What's more, the stock is running into a potential layer of resistance at its 20-week moving average, which rejected a short-lived rally in May and capped upside in the shares last week.

Recipe Reader Review
Why Recipe Readers?
That's exactly the question that recipe readers provide the perfect answer for. The electronic readers make it possible for you to store and categorize all of your recipes in one portable device for easy access and split-second search ability. We have taken the time to compare digital recipe eBook readers to find the best readers for cooking purposes.
Recipe Reader: What Should It Provide?
There are several key functions that you should look for in your personal reader. The top feature we found most users desire is for their recipe reader to be splash and spill resistant. This feature provides a calm assurance that if you accidentally knock over your liquid measuring cup, sending the liquid across the counter and onto your device, you haven't ruined it. You can easily wipe off your device, clean up the spill and continue on through the recipe. The best recipe readers are designed to add ease – not stress – into your cooking.
The key features we highlighted in our reviews encompass the design of each reader. The design includes what the device is made of, storage capacity, size, weight and additional capabilities. The features are important because there is more to each device than what meets the eye. Of course you want an attractive device, but you should also want one that will provide adequate storage and the screen functions vital for easier cooking.
We compiled a list of tools that we felt were strong indicators to the effectiveness of each device. We searched for kitchen-specific tools like a measurement converter, built-in timers and a substitutions list. We also compared tools created for your comfort. For example, text-to-speech abilities, adjustable font size and a personal library can all add to your cooking experience.
Ease of Use
By using the recipe readers ourselves and discussing the navigation and design with other users we ranked each product according to its ease of use. We looked for a device that anyone can pick up and operate with little or no stress. We also evaluated how easy it was to upload and categorize personal recipes.
Help & Support
Just as important as the quality of any product is the company that stands behind it. We are continually looking at each company's help and support resources as we determine what ranking a product will receive. If a company provides contact information yet never responds to an inquiry, we will dock them in our ranking.
Covering each of the above criteria we have designed a side-by-side comparison that highlights the features and tools of each recipe reader available in today's market. Through using the categories mentioned above we found the Demy kitchen safe touchscreen recipe reader, the iPad and the Kindle to be the choice products for a recipe reader. To find additional information you can view articles related to recipe readers. These articles have been designed to help you know if a recipe reader is right for you and which one is the best choice for your kitchen. Each product has its strengths and weaknesses, so make sure to check out the pros and cons of even the best recipe readers.

Blog entry Spotlight: A Troop of Hunger Fighters
We have a troop of cadets helping us to "rice up" against hunger! The National Cadet Corps unit from Clementi Town Secondary School in Singapore raised rice in answering questions and learning, but took their involvement a step further by helping us to create questions to add to our Math section, as well as a proposed Computer Education subject. We hope to publish these questions in the coming months.
Through the project, many cadets have benefited as they now know more about World Hunger. Many of the cadets are convinced that it is possible to end World Hunger if everyone in the world works together. We can redistribute the food that we have in the world and all the food should be enough to feed most if not all of the people in the world.
Thank you from the bottom of our Rice Bowl to these cadets and their teacher Daniel Tan.

A Charlie Brown Christmas: Alternate Ending
First things first. If you're with your young children, don't play this until they're out of ear shot. It's so sweet when they believe and I'd hate to be the catalyst for any crushed spirits this holiday season.
Now that it's just you adults, you've got to watch this. It's disturbing, thought provoking and brilliant. It's also likely to get taken offline just as soon as the Charlie Brown lawyers wake up and smell the coffee.

OMG.....Was that written by my husband????? That was too funny!!!December 11, 2006 / 23:21
Hmm I like their policy on roasting Charly Browns, but differ on the notion of human kind being little pieces of nothing.December 13, 2006 / 03:27
How could you-You site has changed in the last while with more suggestive stuff.
I guess you realize you're getting older - as your kids are.
This isn't Disney.com, I write about stuff I find interesting or funny. It's not like I've started posting nekkid pix. If I did, I'd have much more traffic!December 14, 2006 / 15:05

July is known as the "Month of Money" on the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series circuit thanks to the high-stakes races contested throughout the month. After wrapping up the Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway last weekend, the series returns to the east coast for the second time this season, with six features in a nine-day span:
· The Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30s at Lernerville Speedway (PA) – raced on July 15th – Donny Schatz and Cody Darrah were the winners
· Lincoln Speedway (PA) – July 17th
· The Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway (PA) – July 18th and 19th
· Lebanon Valley Speedway (NY) – July 20th
· Fulton Speedway (NY) – July 23rd
"With all the races coming up and the travel they entail, this is a time of the year when you really have to pay attention to the small details," said Kraig Kinser, WoO driver and son of retiring champion Steve Kinser. "We have been working on a number of little things lately, especially our qualifying package and hopefully some of that pays off this week. The Silver Cup always has a great field of cars and then when we get to Central Pennsylvania, we know how tough the competition there always is. We'll keep plugging away and working at it day in and day out."
Kinser finished 14th last season at Lebanon Valley Speedway; Fulton Speedway is hosting its first WoO STP Sprint Car Series event since 2010.
Kinser finished 18th in last Friday's Knight Before the Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway and 22nd in the 31st running of the Kings Royal on Saturday night. He is currently ninth in the series standings on the strength of 18 top-10 finishes.
"We've had some good runs at the tracks we are headed to and also have had some bad luck at some of them," said Kinser. "You have to treat each race as a new one and put the race before it behind you, no matter where you finish. You want to ride the strong finishes as long as you can, but with a bunch of races in a short time, you have to always be looking forward. This is the type of stretch that makes the World of Outlaws the series that it is."

One of the twists to the "Big Brother 16" game this season is the Team America alliance. This allowed fans to vote for the houseguests of their choice and these three would form an alliance, whether they wanted to or not. Joey Van Pelt, who was the first evictee of the season, was voted as the first member of the Team America alliance. Donny Thompson was voted the second member.
Because Joey was evicted, America got to choose another alliance member to replace her. On the July 6 "Big Brother 16" live feeds the alliance members, having been to the Diary Room earlier in the day, and used code words to find out who had been chosen by fans to be in the "Big Brother 16" Team America Alliance.
Please note that this is a spoiler alert and the outcome of the "Big Brother 16" Team America vote will be revealed. Donny Thompson stood as the only member of the alliance after Joey Van Pelt's eviction last week. Police officer Derrick Levasseur from Providence, R.I., and YouTube personality Frankie Grande from Boca Raton, Fla. were chosen as Donny's Team America alliance members.
The three "Big Brother 16" houseguests seemed pleased to be in an alliance together and immediately began discussing strategy, all the while trying not to be conspicuous to the other houseguests. Caleb had been hovering around the three while they were in the process of using a series of questions, code words and a visual aid to discover who had been voted into the Team America alliance. Caleb, who offered up information regarding bald eagles, was completely out of the loop. This signaled to Derrick that Caleb was not a member of Team America.
"Big Brother 16" houseguests Derrick and Frankie are part of the Bomb Squad alliance, which includes all the male houseguests except Hayden and Donny. The Bomb Squad alliance also includes two female houseguests, Amber and Christine. But Derrick, Donny and Frankie have been chosen by America to be in an alliance together. They will be given missions to complete and each will win $5,000 if the missions can be completed.

Like its predecessors, this new edition investigates the impact of social forces such as industrialization, urbanization, immigration and cultural conflict on the development of schools and other educational institutions. It also examines the various ways that schools have contributed to social change, particularly in enhancing the status and accomplishments of certain social groups and not others. Detailed accounts of the experiences of women and minority groups in American history consider how their lives have been affected by education. Changes in this new edition include the following: A more thorough treatment of key concepts such as globalization, human capital, social capital, and cultural capital. Enhanced attention to issues of diversity throughout. Greater thematic coherence as a result of dividing chapter 6 into two chapters, the first focusing on the postwar period and emphasizing the themes of equity and social justice and the second focusing on human capital in education, highlighting the standards movement, federal policy changes and neo-liberal reform. A revision of several focal point discussions for greater clarity and thematic releance. Update discussions of recent changes in educational politics, finance and policy, especially the troubles presently facing No Child Left Behind (NCLB).

Spring, perception vs reality
Friday, March 29, 2013
Oh Spring, you're in full swing! Many people are thinking you should be in full bloom with all the birds chirping and the animals frolicking. You should be all pretty and blossoming!
In reality, you're still melting. You're still giving us a chilly reception. You're dirty and wet. You're not what we wanted as soon as we wanted. We're getting impatient!
The reality is that it is warm enough to be outside. It happens to be sprinkling today, but at least the snow is melting. For those that don't get the beautiful snow you also don't get to see the dirty part of the end of winter. It's no longer pretty. The snow is all black from plows anywhere near a road or parking lot. Even through the woods, much of it is trampled from the wildlife and there are puddles forming everywhere. It may even flood in parts.
We're in the transition from the nice part of winter to the nice part of spring. It's ugly and yucky. We'll be muddy for a while if we go out.
With all changes, there is an ugly part. There is a spot where we want to throw a tantrum and say that it's not worth the change! Yet we've been complaining that it's stayed the one way for too long and we want the change, we just don't want the ugliness that forms the change.
Going to the weight loss aspect, there is an ugly part with that too. We got used to the one way, but then we want the other way of life. We loved the nightly snack, even if we didn't need the nutrition or calories, but we want to become a healthy person and it's hard to change that habit. We loved the big meals and candy, chips and pop. We know we'll feel better when we stop eating those and make our diet full of healthy nutritious foods. It takes time to change from the old way to the new way and we'll be complaining about the ugliness that is the transition.
We'll get through the snow melt and we'll also get through the transition from unhealthy to healthy and balanced. It takes time to blossom and we will find our way through the melting puddled parts. Just keep muddling through and eventually the trees will bloom and the beauty will shine through!

What a wonderful analogy! When I first started reading this I thought that like me you are just completely fed up with winter and the delay of spring and I thought "Where is she going with this?" Now it makes so much sense! I too am ready to get out of the mud and puddles of this journey, but I know I have a fair amount of "slogging" to do before I will see the beautiful flowers and the full green trees. Yet at the same time I am beginning to see the blossoms. Spring is a time of new beginnings, a new start, it gives a sense of renewed energy and motivation. Those things along with our continued dedication to our plans will help us to grow and become those beautiful flowers that we want to be.
Your words were very insightful.... every thought of being a writer?

Once more you have written a interesting, inspiring blog. I don't care for this dirty transition of the melying snow, but it is necessary in order that we get spring. When all the snow is gone, we can get out without bundling layers, we will feel so lifted that staying in track will be a great motivator; like the butterflies erupting for thier cacoons.

Pretty honest assessment. Still ,it smells nice outside and we can still ride our bikes between rain showers and I'm paying bills when it's nasty. Hope spring warms up for you and you start feeling better.

I so totally agree with both aspects of this blog! I am so ready for spring, ready for all this snow and brown grass and cold weather to be gone and sometimes I am tired of having to weigh or measure everything I eat but in the end, you know the wait and the weight loss will all be worth it!
Keep on reaching to be the best, We have come so far!

I tend to think of the spring as adolescence. It's a fury of mixed emotions, some days it's nice and some days it's not!

Love this blog! I happen to not mind the part of the seasons changing but I do mind the transition from unhealthy to healthy! I do like the analogy though it does take a month or more for that transition from nice winter to nice spring. Which is about the same amount of time it will take for the unhealthy eating to turn to healthy eating.

Social Justice is an increasingly popular and vague term used by politicians, judges, social workers and educators. A perfect storm of bureaucratic control.
Fifteen-year-old Justina Pelletier had been treated at Tufts Medical Center for Mitochondrial Disease. When Justina developed flu-like symptoms, the Tufts doctors referred her to a doctor at Boston Children's Hospital who specialized in gastrointestinal disorders.
However, once at Boston Children's, Justina was not allowed to see that doctor. Instead, a Belgian neurologist and Romanian psychologist unfamiliar with her case determined she had Somatoform Disorder. The doctors instructed Justina's parents to agree to, and sign off on, a new medical plan. This Boston Children's plan included the stipulation Justina would cease all her medications and would not be allowed to see or speak with any other doctors.
Justina's parents refused and became upset. The Massachusetts Department of Child and Family Services (MDCFS) was called in. Justina became a ward of the state. As such, Justina was eligible to be used for Somatoform research. After 14 months as a ward of the state, barred from necessary medical care and used for research, Justina's physical condition continues to deteriorate and she is now partially paralyzed. If that can happen to Justina, it could happen to anyone… and likely has.
MDCFS has never done an investigation: made a home visit, spoken to neighbors, teachers or family members about Justina's care at home. 134 children in MDCFS custody are missing.
From the National Association of Social Workers website, "Often, social workers bring social justice concepts into the wider social and political arena." As in: A call "for examination of underlying causes" of terrorism. "…terrorism may be fueled in part by global practices that led to poverty and rage…" Another way of saying, spin it. When convenient, align it with your personal agenda. It sticks and it pays.
Social justice educators are taught to have low expectations for poor and minority students based on a plethora of difficulties, real or imagined, experienced by many of that community. The National Assessment of Educational Progress 2013 Nebraska confirms that approach: just 16% of Black 4th graders scored at or above proficient in reading, 12% in math. The poor scored just 23% and 27%, respectively. Reasons given for the poor outcomes include lack of parental involvement, marital status of parents, bank account of parents, habits of parents, etc.
I recommend Frederick Douglass' autobiography to anyone who maintains the underlying causes of learning failure are poverty, melanin and family (social justice).
Non-union charter school educators achieve different outcomes for those same demographics. "Fifth-graders at Harlem Central Middle School, which Mr. (Mayor) deBlasio sought to close, have the highest pass rate of 2,254 schools in New York on state math exams." (Wall Street Journal 4/3/14)
Local courts have ruled in favor of Lincoln Public Schools when a kindergartner was sexually assaulted in the bathroom during the school day (successfully appealed) and again when parents requested curricula and instructional changes recommended by their child's therapist. Underlying causes of the children's difficulties in both cases was deemed outside the school's responsibility (social justice).
Over decades, we have watched our schools perpetuate learning failure, students subjected to limitless research and held under truancy laws.
A brave man was arrested at a school board meeting for questioning Common Core. Whatever your views, it is time to stand up, speak up and take action on behalf of our children's health, education and liberty in America.
Medical care and education should be determined by parents in counsel with providers. It is contrary to our freedom to be held hostage by health or education providers. ...... Liberty and Justice for All

With Typo Keyboards accepting pre-orders for its iPhone snap-on keyboard, the company, backed by TV personality Ryan Seacrest, has responded to a BlackBerry lawsuit by denying it copied anything from the iconic smart phone company.
In a press release, BlackBerry General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer Steve Zipperstein says, "We are flattered by the desire to graft our keyboard onto other smart phones, but we will not tolerate such activity without fair compensation for using our intellectual property and our technological innovations."
He calls the Typo Keyboard a "blatant infringement" on BlackBerry's keyboard. The company refuses to comment on the lawsuit beyond what it says in the media release.
Early buzz from technology Web sites such as Engadget specifically referred to the Typo Keyboard as turning an iPhone into a BlackBerry.
Typo insists that they will defend the lawsuit vigorously and will continue with plans to debut the gadget in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show next week, with orders scheduled to begin shipping at the end of January. In its own press release, Typo says "BlackBerry's claims against Typo lack merit."
The Typo Keyboard, which costs $99, connects to an iPhone 5 or iPhone 5S device using Bluetooth. The keyboard layout almost exactly mimics that of current BlackBerry phones, with numbers and symbols on the same letter key on all but about four keys.
Despite releasing the BlackBerry Q10 device last year with a physical keyboard and touchscreen interface, the Canadian company has encountered problems in retaining its previously devoted followers and attracting new customers.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Kyle Richards' new book Life is Not a Reality gets a peculiar release date, hitting shelves today after Christmas. Kyle Richards' new book about her home launches the same week in which Kyle throws Taylor Armstrong out of her house on RHOBH and in which Kim Richards battles rehab at the Betty Ford Center.
For RHOBH costars, however, there might never been any good time to launch a new book. Kyle Richards' book is the third Beverly Hills housewives book to debut books within just weeks. Ironically, last season on OC Housewives, Lynne Curtin was angry enough that a single other housewife was moving into her own handbag business. This season on BH Housewives the question remains "who isn't writing a book"?
So why should readers pick up a book about Kyle Richards? "You know I grew up in a family of all women… so I am the quintessential girls' girl. I love sharing my life with people. I am a very open person." Richards says she has a lot to tell in the book that people don't see on Bravo. "I talk about my husband, our relationship."

And while Patti Stanger has yet to comment on Kyle's book, Richards gives her own matchmaking tips in the book. "I wanted to open my life and share my thoughts on everything on my personal life … how I get up and make snacks for my children in the morning." She adds "I do have a glamorous life at time, but I'm still a mom and a wife. There are definitely tips and secrets in life.. First and foremost, you have to date your soul mate… you really have to be pretty perfect at first because life throws you a lot of fastballs."

The publisher says of the book that Kyle "spills all her secrets about how to look good and live large while keeping it real, revealing how she achieves that perfect mix of celebrity and normality.

"She's a real housewife whose first priority is her family, and she's sharing her advice here on everything — from beauty to fashion to relationships." The question is whether that alone is reason to buy yet a third housewife book within just weeks of each other.

If you're one of the many couples who got engaged this past Valentine's Day weekend, you're in good company! Congratulations, you've just joined thousands of other couples who've decided to tie the knot. It's estimated that over 10% of the US population got engaged on Valentine's Day-and it's not surprising. Valentine's Day is considered the most romantic holiday of the year-making it the most popular day of the year to 'pop the question.' With spring and summer just right around the corner, eager brides to be are entering into the 2010 wedding planning season with one goal on their mind-to make their special day, simply spectacular.
Even for the most excited bride to be there's just so much to plan, and for many of the newly engaged the checklist of things to do before the wedding can be daunting. Even the search for their perfect wedding dress-something they've probably dreamed of their entire lives-becomes stressful as they suddenly find themselves surrounded by hundreds of white wedding dresses-in every style imaginable and from every available designer ranging from Simone Carvalli to Vera Wang. Without assistance it can all be a little bit overwhelming. But as any new bride will tell you-the excitement and joy of planning your wedding surpasses the stress, and the task of choosing the perfect dress-just like choosing your wedding date, is just the beginning.
The month of February starts the wedding planning flurry with numerous wedding expos and bridal fairs taking place all over the metro Denver area. For future brides who might be overwhelmed and not sure where exactly to start in the wedding planning process these bridal fairs are the perfect places to gather information and to learn about the latest wedding trends. Many brides to be will thrive at these informative events, while others may prefer to start their planning in the comfort of their own home while relaxing with a cup of coffee-searching for the perfect style of dress, finding local photographers, choosing a florist, and researching romantic reception or honeymoon locations all online. It can be beneficial to you to start your planning this way, and here's a short list of some helpful wedding planning websites to help you get started:
- Brides.com
- GreenEleganceWeddings.com
- InStyleWeddings.com

This week has me frustrated
Wednesday, February 12, 2014
I know it's hormonal, it happens every month. But that doesn't change the fact that I have had two days of a nonstop food orgy. I feel so miserable and bloated, and just plain angry at myself. This month is a little harder, I'm not working and I am still stuck living in a hotel, so I have nothing to do that can keep me busy and my mind off of food.
I am still exercising. After running most of my 5K on Saturday and only taking a couple very short walk breaks after a large hill, I decided instead of finishing my 5K training I would start my 8K training. Monday's workout was 4.04 miles of intervals for 50 minutes, 5 min warm-up followed by five 7:1 intervals and a 5 min cool-down. Followed by a nine minute .62mile walk back to the hotel (14:40 pace). Yesterday's was 60 minutes on the elliptical with varying resistance levels. And it's looking like the TM and strength training today.
I did get some good news on the house. The were able to get the electricity ran to the house, hooked up, and turned on. The water is supposed to get hooked up and turned on today. But that is probably as far as it is going to get this week with this winter storm pending. We have come to the agreement that once the new heat and central air is hooked up, the back deck built and the handrails put on the two porches he will get the certificate of occupancy and we can move in. They will just work on the house while we live in it, and I will get to help. This will give me something to do with my time so I feel productive.
That is a lot of my problem too. I like to work, I want to work, I need to work. But I haven't worked since I quit my job on December 20th in preparation of my move. Friday will be nine weeks. I need some human interaction, other than my BF and our furbaby. Don't get me wrong, I love them both but neither of them are big talkers. I need to be around more people, I need more human interaction. I am a talker and I love being around people and socializing. That is why I have always worked retail and customer service.
Once we get settled in, our landlord, he is really great, has offered to put me in contact with one of his golf buddies to get me a job. He thinks I need to work at his buddy's car dealership, selling cars. We will see.
Thanks as always for letting me rant.

I understand your frustration with food... I sometimes find myself in the same place...especially when I have TOO much time on my hands, which has happened quite a bit lately with school being cancelled so many, many days due to weather.. however, I can't continue to allow that to be an excuse for losing self control... instead I must get myself back on track and keep on keeping on!
We've got this!! Good luck with the job search!

TC TO JOHN STERLING ; 7 December 1838; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18381207-TC-JOST-01; CL 10: 232-235
Cheyne Row, Chelsea, 7th Decr 1838—
My dear Sterling,
You ran off from me in Autumn altogether on the sudden; instead of finding you at Hastings on my return from Scotland, I learned while sojourning there that you were over the seas again for a winter in Italy. That midnight interview in the box-cab, on the pavement of London streets,1 was the the last I was to get of you for some time! We hear duly of your progress; across the Alps, thro' Picture-galleries, Lombard or Tuscan cities, beautiful Italian Nature and Art; an articulate Good-speed goes now and then from us, and many an unarticulated one: what more could a Letter do? However I will this morning write you a Letter too, that you may have it in both ways.
I remained in all some eight weeks in Scotland; three in Fife, diligently riding over green paths there, or walking silent by the shore of the many-sounding sea, with a due proportion of bathings,—with many unutterable meditations. Then I saw Scotch Parsons2 at dinner, in "Yarrow visited" or therabouts [sic];3 but hastily quitted these. I spent a night with Jeffrey;4 looked on the stones of Edinburgh City; wondered whether it was solid or a dream. Then I saw my good Mother and Kinsfolk, my native soil of Annandale. Finally I came drifting back hither, foolish "drift-log on the sea of accident";5 where I ever since lie high and dry, not a whit wiser. Ah my friend, you know little about Silence, much as you argue with me about it! How many tragedies, epics, Haynes-Baily ballads,6 and bursts of parliamentary eloquence7 would it take to utter this one tour into the South of Scotland by an atrabiliar lecturer on things in general?8 Pauca verba [few words]:9 that is the only utterance for it.
On one subject however I must speak a word: the subject of wine. Standing duly ranged for my return there waited me here two dozen elegant-looking pint bottles; which, on being proved by the cork-screw, gave evidence of containing Port, of as excellent a quality as I ever tasted in my time. By a hint dropt from you before, and only by that, I recognised the beneficent hand of your fellow-traveller Dr Calvert,10 a gentleman whom I have only seen once for a moment, but whom I ought not for a long course of years to cease remembering. How have I deserved this at his hands? Greater faith I have not found in Israel.11 Better wine I do believe was not drunk in this century. Pray say all that is handsome to him on my part, and in the dialect grave or sportful that you know will suit him best: I am much flattered and obliged; and know not what to say, or do, except blush almost as red as the liquor.— Another individual too, I find, has sent Malmsey Madeira hither; addressed to my wife!12 No end of strong drink? Always new mystery in the doings of men? If you fall in with this mysterious individual, at any quiet time, pray give him a hint of what I think, for you know it well enough. He is a very strange fellow, I suspect; and you have the way of him better than I.—
Since my return I have been as idle as man could well be. A Book I suppose will grow in me if I live some years. But as yet it lies swimming over Infinitude; sunk beyond sounding in Chaos and Night.13 Really I find it a dreadful piece of work to write anything that is worth writing. One is alone too; every man is alone in that matter, more or less. The difference with me of this year from last is that I feel afar off as if the desire and necessity of writing might again declare itself in me; last year it seemed impossible forevermore. You are to consider more over that I am sick, continually dyspeptic, sleepless weak and sickly while I live in this London. If the gods would grant me bread and water anywhere with a kind of approximate health—? The gods know better what they are about, and will do no such thing. However, here is one fact: my American friends have sent me £50 gained by the Revolution book in Transatlantic land; is not that worth noting? England has not yielded any coin of money, tho' the "first edition," says Fraser, is near done. We shall learn cunning by degrees. But now, with this American fifty pounds, partly for the humour of the thing, I have a real thought of purchasing a horse (my sole medicine, with which I am approximately well always), and riding the same, in the name of Heaven. You remember our gallop on the heights of Hampstead? But in truth I think if I were rightly healthy, rightly as in old young days, I should fly out of the world; nothing under the Zodiac would contain me.
My brother, who joined me in Annandale, who followed me hither, and has had much fluctuation in his outlooks since then, is gone for Italy eight days ago; I expect a Paris Letter from him one of those mornings. He goes to Naples, Physician to his Grace of Buccleuch; carries messages for you, whom he eagerly counts on meeting somewhere. The good Jack! He has left me very lonely here for the time being; but his work, it appea[rs,] did not lie here, one has to follow his work. John Mill also talks of going abroad [one] of these days; to Malta, Mrs Buller told me.14 He has got a dyspepsia; for which his Doctors imagine a winter in some better climate might be effectual at once in this early stage of it. I have small faith in that prognosis; but Mill naturally hopes in it, and ought to try it, if he can,—which latter circumstance, however, I believe is still uncertain. I have seen simply one half hour of him since that night when we all parted in Lincoln's Inn Fields.15 I have not yet read his Article on Durham16 even; whom indeed one hears enough of without reading.17 But speaking of Articles, will you signify to the writer of Simonides18 that he seems to be considered a brilliant man, and ought to take care of himself. A right brilliant set of colours he does carry on his palette; brilliant as rainbow; and has made a little enamel picture of the life, locality, action and speech of that old Greek, such as it does one good to read. Had he but, here as in other cases, stood by his prose! I incline to call it his best piece of prose this enamel painting; but, for the verse—ach Gott! I have read also the first portion of the Onyx Ring.19 Good: but why preternaturalize; could you not have done without the miracle of the ring, all but just as well? On the whole, I will repeat to this author that his palette has colours of the rainbow on it; that he must draw a figure worthy of them and be memorable enough. O Heavens, could the "sheet-lightning," with its far darting corruscations [sic] and diamond play of colours, but concentrate itself,—what a bolt were there; fit to pierce mountains! I commit him to his Good Genius; we shall see what is in him, whether this too. Adieu, my dear Friend! The world has not many men in it for whom I care half as much. Be happy, grow well, and let me see you again. I am to leave "three lines." Adieu.
T. Carlyle
[JWC's postscript]
My dear Mentor
Would to Heaven I had anything to tell of myself which you would like to hear—But—alas!—As Edward Irving used to say with a wae look and a great puff of a sigh, when he was about to write 'pessime [very poor]' on my tasks, thereby devoting me, poor innocent "Child of his Intellect" to a sound whipping: "I am sorry for you Jane—but—I must be truthful"! then down went the fatal word and the whipping followed sure as death. So now come what come may, I also must be truthful—and declare to you honestly that within as without the 'meliora [better things]' still 'latent [lie hidden]'20—nay that very often the whole faith of me is hardly adequate to believe that they are at all— This is a pessime which you will think deserves worse than whipping—but you will feel nevertheless that it is not you that could hurt a hair of my head—I know your heart is well affected towards me, and when you say hard things to me it is, as the man says in the play, "because I love you, I study how I may best break your heart."21 That is the comfortablest theory of all your scoldings &c &c and so by Heaven's blessing I will keep it. Give my affectionate regards to Mrs Crawfurd22 I miss her exceedingly here—Ever yours—

Finally, we have discovered a use for origami. Don't get us wrong: we love the stuff. We just inevitably leave it sitting on a side table until it gathers enough dust to get tossed in the trash. These Red, Coral, and Gold Pinwheel Earrings ($23), however, turn a little clever paper art into a seriously cute piece of jewelry.

real world example from the xemacs-base package (a description of each

that the XEmacs Package Release Engineer deals with so there is no need
for a package maintainer to touch it. In `package-info.in' just
put the place-marker, `VERSION' here.
CATEGORY and can be either
`standard' for non-Mule packages, or `mule' for Mule
packages. The is also provision for `unsupported' in this field
which would be for packages that XEmacs.org do not distribute.
N.B. As yet, the XEmacs Packaging System does not support this type of package. It will in the future.
make bindist.
make bindist.
REQUIRES. It is a list
of all the package's dependencies, including any macros and defstructs
that need to be inlined.
`REQUIRES' cannot be correctly computed from the calls to
require in the package's library sources. `REQUIRES' is
used to ensure that all macro and defstruct definitions used by the
package are available at build time. This is not merely a matter of
efficiency, to get the expansions inlined. In fact, it is
impossible to call a macro by name in byte-compiled Emacs Lisp
code. Thus, if the macro expansion is not inlined, the call will result
in an error at run-time! Thus, packages providing libraries that would
be loaded because of autoload definitions must also be included.
N.B. This doesn't refer to the number of lisp files in a package. A single-file package can have multiple lisp files in it. See section Package Terminology:.
The fields in `package-info.in' that need to be changed directly are:
Everything else is either set from the appropriate `Makefile' variable, is auto-generated at build time, or is static.

Joe Henderson: Our Thing
Our Thing
Joe Henderson (tenor sax)
Our Thing (BST-84152)
Joe Henderson (tenor sax), Kenny Dorham (trumpet), Andrew Hill (piano), Pete La Roca (drums),
Eddie Khan (bass).
Composed by Joe Henderson.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, September 9, 1963
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
With its variable beats and hot bop lines, "Our Thing" could be considered something of a precursor to the better-known "The Kicker," which Joe Henderson would record the following year with the Horace Silver Quintet. But even more than with the song he lent to Silver, Henderson tests the limits of hard bop with "Our Thing."
The time signature changes from double-time to a leisurely gallop and back again. The main theme that rides on this rocky rhythm might be a gauntlet for most horn players to negotiate alone, much less in perfect unison with another musician as Henderson and Dorham do here. Henderson swings superbly on his solo, and Dorham lays down some Clifford Brown-type phrasing before turning matters over to Hill and his rhythmic precision.
"Our Thing" shows Henderson the composer constructing complex harmonics and tempos, even near the beginning of his career.

Modern Minnie Mouse Party (9 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Our daughter loves her some Mickey. So when it came time to celebrate her 2nd Birthday there was no question how we had to celebrate. Not wanting to go the standard store bought route (nothing wrong with that) I went polka dot crazy & created a fun themed birthday with some character (& characters).
Everything was handmade to create a Modern Minnie feel that was obvious but still fresh. Simple painted party hats with ears & bows, a mix of paper decorations in the color scheme created a focal point, even her big suprise was Minnie inspired. A Minnie Mobile! Transformed from a yard sale cozy coupe.
We also had a fun themed menu that was both kid & adult friendly.
Hot Diggity Dogs
Oh Toodle's Noodles (Pasta Salad)
Popcorny Popcorn
Banana Puddin' (That's what Mickey & the gang say when they get their picture taken... didn't you know that?... Plus, I am kinda famous for mine.)
Minnie Moo Muffins (Cupcakes)

I will look on the zone for you and tell you if i find any... i will reply back in 24 hours
btw... if you ahve a chance... join a group that is active, and has about 20 pilots, and can place in the top 10 in the Week of War, while still having fun, and providing excellent training. N.R.E.S.
or send me an E-mail
Thanks, I have a feeling they have joined another squadron/clan.
uh, sorry, no sign of them....
Forget it, they are dead.
You can join my squadron the Rebel Guardians.
The Rebel Alliance. They're the best. Enough said. The Empire sucks. Too much said.

COLLEGE STATION, TX - A collaborative study in
which Dr. Jianrong Li of the Texas A&M University College of
Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM) was one of the
contributing authors has made the cover of this month's issue of
the prestigious scientific journal Nature Neuroscience.
The study's main finding is the identification of a protein
called GPR17 and its potential to serve as a therapeutic target for
the treatment of demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis
(MS), which affects 2 million people worldwide and is characterized
by damage to myelin, the insulating layer of axons (long, slender
projections of nerve cells that transmit nerve impulses).
The study explains how GPR17 is involved in controlling the
maturation of myelin-forming cells, oligodendrocytes, in the
central nervous system (CNS), a process that is poorly understood.
The main function of these cells is to produce a myelin sheath
around axons. Myelin production or myelination is crucial for the
normal functioning of the central nervous system.
"Myelin not only speeds up the conduction of nerve impulses
along axons but also keeps axons healthy. Without myelin, axons
will eventually degenerate," Li explained.
The study shows that GPR17 negatively regulates myelin
development-that is, its overexpression inhibits myelination while
its absence results in the early onset of myelination during CNS
Specifically, Li's group showed that the overexpression of this
protein in a culture of oligodendrocyte precursor cells arrests
oligodendrocyte differentiation.
"GPR17 is upregulated in human MS plaques and in animal models
of MS," said Li. "In many MS cases, there are oligodendrocyte
precursor cells in plaques, yet these cells fail to mature and
myelinate axons. Therefore, it is of great interest to test whether
blocking this receptor promotes myelin repair and functional
The study was funded by grants from the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Welcome to Cropredy Marina
A new 249 berth, off-line, accessible marina,
with first class facilities and excellent customer service,
situated on the southern Oxford Canal.
Cropredy Marina offers quality moorings at very affordable and competitive prices, in beautiful, tranquil landscaped surroundings. The marina lies within walking distance of the attractive village of Cropredy, famous for the annual Fairport Convention music festival, and about 5 miles north of Banbury, its mainline train station, and junction 11 of the M40.
A proven track record
Tim Langer, owner of the new marina and well respected local businessman, who has developed Crick Marina (near Rugby) and operated it successfully for the past 19 years said: "My marina at Crick works very well because of its fantastic quiet and pretty location, affordable prices, and friendly personal service. I am confident that by offering the same winning formula at Cropredy we are now well on the way to achieving the same success and popularity."
Tim continued: "In light of the current economic situation, prices have been set at very affordable levels for such an attractive and accessible location. It will be the closest full-service off-line canal marina to the upper River Thames (accessed at Oxford), where mooring fees can be two or three times as expensive."
"There is only one other small offline marina on the Oxford Canal in the 49 miles between Oxford and Napton, so Cropredy Marina really is unique and very special – which I think has been reflected in the tremendous number of bookings we have already received from people wishing to moor here."

Texas A&M vs. South Carolina live stream coverage will be made available at game time on Thursday (Aug. 28). The Texas A&M vs. South Carolina game also marks the opening of the SEC games this season. According to a report from CBS Sports for Thursday, all of the experts feel that the Gamecocks are going to win their home opener. Only a few of them even feel that the team won't cover the spread of 10 ½ points heading into game day.
No. 9 ranked South Carolina appears to have the toughest game of all the teams in the top 10 so far. Top ranked Florida State will play Oklahoma State and No. 2 Alabama plays West Virginia, but those opponents don't seem to stack up with Texas A&M at this point of the season. It will be very interesting to see the new identities of each school, though, as Jadeveon Clowney and Johnny Manziel will have no impact on the outcome of this one. Netting an early SEC win would be a huge boost to start.
The Texas A&M vs. South Carolina live stream coverage will be available through the Watch ESPN application. Game time is 6 p.m. ET and the broadcast will also air on the SEC Network from Williams-Brice Stadium in South Carolina. In a season that will come down to the first ever playoff of four invited schools, this is an important game to get either school into the conversation. If the South Carolina Gamecocks start the season off with a top 25 victory, they will likely see a boost in the polls as well.

[SPOILERS] Willa Burrell (Amelia Rose Blaire) is the most intriguing new character on "True Blood" from seasons six and seven. She grew from being a docile daddy's girl into coming of age as an independent vampire woman. Her paradigm shift was subtle. Unfortunately, "True Blood" is closing the curtains before her character can be fully developed.
In season seven, episode four "Lost Cause," a different side of Willa emerges. Fans are left wondering about Willa's new life in Bon Temps, if "True Blood" wasn't ending. She appeared to be a force to be reckoned with. Her older vampire sister, Pam Swynford De Beaufort (Kristin Bauer van Straten), didn't intimidate her. Willa did not hesitate to tell Pam how she was to blame for the death of her best friend, Tara Thorton (Rutina Wesley). Tara was Pam's prodigy.
Rightfully angry at being abandoned, Willa demanded her "missing in action" maker Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) release her. After some smart negotiation on Willa's part, Eric obliged for information about the whereabouts of her almost stepmother Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp). Willa kept her word, which is a credit to her integrity.
It would have been nice to see Willa interacting more with the townspeople of Bon Temps. There's only a glimpse of how she would have begun her new life if the drama of the H-virus wasn't rampant. The first thing Willa did after arriving at Sookie's party was ask Arlene Fowler (Carrie Preston) for a waitress job. Independent adults support themselves. Yes, Willa is now her own vampire woman and ready for the world. The downside is her world of "True Blood" is coming to an untimely end.
Poor Willa Burrell, all grown up, but with no place to go.

Boobs are a dime a dozen on the beach or on the pool deck. We set ourselves apart by keeping our cans together with this Reef Beach Cruisers Bandeau Bra Bikini Top ($27). The halter strap is removable, preventing sundress-ruining tan lines. But is just as easy to slip back on to prevent confidence-ruining nipple slips during beach volleyball.
