Canvas shoes with artistic designs can be quite pricey, especially if you take a look at the offerings online. Shoes with hand drawn and painted designs are beautiful, but what if you cannot afford to shop for handmade wares online? If you want to save a bit of money and still indulge in the craving for arty shoes, then why not create a pair of your own with fabric markers?
For this project it is best to use a light shade of canvas shoes so the fabric markers show up well. However there are fabric markers that are especially marketed to work on dark fabric if you prefer black or navy canvas shoes. White canvas shoes were used for the project here since the markers used to draw the Southern California palm trees and the blue sky with vibrant hues. The following steps were used to create the palm tree themed shoes,which cost less than twenty dollars to make:
Step 1:
A palm tree was drawn on the vamp of the shoe with brown and green fabric markers.
Step 2:
A second palm tree was drawn on the side of the shoe.
Step 3
Three small palm trees were drawn on the back of the shoe.
Step 4:
Another palm tree was drawn on the other of the shoe.
Step 5:
The same process was used for drawing palm trees on the other shoe.
Step 6:
A blue fabric marker was used to shade in the sky around the palm trees.
Step 7:
Follow the directions for heat setting the fabric markers. The shoes featured here were not heat set because the design was created on a hot July night, and the shoes sat overnight to dry completely. The design did not rub off the shoes, but heat setting fabric markers after use might be recommended if you are drawing in cooler conditions. However, there was really no need to throw shoes with fabric markers drawings in the dryer since it was about hundred degrees out.

Republic F-84G-25-RE "Thunderjet"
Crew: One
Engine: One Allison J35-A-29 turbojet; 5,600 lbs thrust
Wingspan: 36 ft 5 in
Length: 38 ft 1 in
Height: 12 ft 7 in
Weight: 10,205 lbs empty; 22,460 lbs max
Speed: max: 622 mph
Range: 2,000 miles
Service Ceiling: 40,500 ft
Armament: Up to 4,000 lbs external nuclear ordnance
Cost: $147,699
This F-84G-25-RE, S/N 52-3242, was manufactured by Republic Aviation in Long Island, New York, and delivered to the United States Air Force on February 10, 1953. The aircraft was immediately sent to Bergstrom AFB, Texas, to fly with the 12th Strategic Fighter Wing of the Strategic Air Command.
In May 1954 the aircraft was transferred to the 20th Fighter Bomber Wing with the United States Air Forces in Europe. It was stationed at Wethersfield RAF Station in England and also performed periodic assignments at Bentwaters RAF Station.In July 1956 the aircraft was sent to the 3600th Combat Crew Training Wing of the Air Training Command at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. It temporarily served with the 3615th Flying Training Wing at Craig Air Force Base, Alabama, in October of that year.
The aircraft was sent in January 1957 to the 1401st Air Base Wing at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., but returned to the 3600th at Luke the following month. Then in June 1957 the plane was transferred to the Ogden Air Materiel Area at Hill Air Force Base. That October it was dropped from the Air Force inventory.
The aircraft was eventually acquired from the government by the city of Midvale, Utah. It was located in a playground within Midvale City Park for the next twenty-two years, until it was brought to the attention of the Hill AFB Heritage Program. The Program Director initiated a request to the USAF Museum System to obtain the derelict aircraft for restoration and static display at the Hill AFB Museum. Permission was granted and the plane was acquired in 1983. The Heritage Program Restoration Club immediately began looking for parts and technical information required to completely restore the vintage aircraft.
Throughout the rest of the 1980s and into the early 1990s work on the restoration proceeded very slowly. The assistance of the 419th Combat Logistics Support Squadron from Hill was eventually enlisted and the F-84G restoration was finally completed in March 1995. The aircraft was then placed on permanent display at Hill Aerospace Museum.

The Queensryche lawsuit has been settled. A joint statement was released: "We wanted to let Queensryche fans around the world know that an amicable settlement has been reached between Eddie Jackson, Scott Rockenfield, Michael Wilton and Geoff Tate with regard to the future of the Queensryche name."
Under the terms of the settlement, Wilton, Rockenfield and Jackson retain the Queensryche brand, while Geoff Tate is granted the sole right to perform 'Operation Mindcrime' and 'Operation: Mindcrime II' in a live setting. Both sides seem content with the agreement.
Queensryche has sold over 30 million albums and both the camps still maintain a rabid fan base. The band as an entity definitely has a cult following, and the recent drama has become a huge deal - eliciting passionate and powerful responses and lighting up comment boards around the web.
Wilton commented: "It's the rebirth of Queensryche and the way it used to be," Wilton said by phone last night. "We're rebuilding the Queensryche name."
Tate also commented: "They (Wilton, Jackson and Rockenfield) bought the name from me. But I retain 'Operation Mindcrime.' It's sort of similar to the Pink Floyd situation where Roger Waters retained 'The Wall.' 'Mindcrime' was my thing and my story, so it's appropriate that I keep that. So they will continue on as Queensryche, and I will continue on as me."

do you know yourself? do you know the others?
can you pull the weight that rides on another's shoulders?
once you've lost yourself to the acceptance mask,
well could you find yourself? it's not a simple task.
self-inherence...freedom...comes from within.
take a different track, it's time to see what your are made of.
can you expose yourself? can you peel off another layer?
will you make the time? the time to take control.
because only you can save yourself, only you can save your soul.
and once you save yourself, insecurities will die.
genuine qualities and true character will shine.
now that you belong to you what will the others think?
soon they'll follow you, you'll see they're all so weak.
come on...can you let go? can you be you?

Ok, as i further into my film/game audio dream, i need better quality sounds.
Listening to some of the vst's on their site is pretty epic.
I mainly need everything that would be in an orchestra. Pianos/strings/woodwinds/choirs/intense orchestral drums. and good ones
I was convinced on getting the symphonic orchestra silver edition (Which was only $200), when i came across the "Ethno world 5". Pretty much sounds like it has everything i need. Epic choirs, good strings, and very nice percussions. Only problem is its almost $500. why?
My question, does symphonic orchestra have as good percussions/strings as the ethno world 5 ?
What is the good/bad things about them both? (If you know).
Thanks, i just want to take the next step in my career and i want to make the most smartest, financially responsible way.
You can hear some ethno samples here
Some symphonic orchestra here

At Baptist, your story matters. That's why we're honored to be able to share our patients' journeys in weight loss and becoming their healthiest selves.
Dora Serna gained weight gradually over the years after having her children. She didn't realize how heavy she had become until she saw her description on a medical chart. Watch her story.

The first wake up call came when Marina's son started playing baseball. She was asked to play in a mother-son baseball game, but was physically unable to participate. It was the first time Marina began to see the negative effects her weight was having not only on herself, but also on those around her.
Soon after, during a routine visit to the doctor, Marina stepped on a scale and for the first time in her life weighed over 400 pounds. She called the wish center to explore her options – something she had done before. When she realized that four years had slipped by since she called, Marina decided she wasn't going to waste anymore of her life.
"I was watching life and not living life," Marina said. Since the surgery, Marina has lost 230 pounds. Her BMI has dropped from 67% to 31%, which will save her from a lifetime of weight related health conditions. She's doing things she never could before… everything from bending over to tie her shoe, to playing catch and chase with her son. "I feel like I can go anywhere and do anything. I have a new rule: turn down no invitations."

Toby Avalos' doctor recommended he have bariatric surgery to deal with his weight problem, but it would take Avalos three years to make the life changing decision.
Living with diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, he knew he needed to make a change, but was skeptical of weight loss surgery. Avalos tried diet and exercise but was hampered by chronic knee pain that required a series of surgeries. After surgery his weight increased, he became less inclined to workout and his condition worsened. With his diabetes now out of control, Avalos was taking insulin shots before each meal and at night. He knew it was time to take a bigger step in improving his health and quality of life.
Following the recommendation of his doctor, Avalos began attending seminars to learn more about bariatric surgery, but he was not impressed with the doctors he met or the presentations they gave on the procedure. Avalos began to do his own research and came across Dr. Sonny Cavazos and the Northeast Baptist Bariatric Center. After attending Dr. Cavazos' seminar, Avalos became convinced that the surgery would be worthwhile. "Dr. Cavazos' seminar was not like the others I had attended," said Avalos. "He was not contradictory, and he had a much more personal approach."
One month after Avalos had surgery he was off of all diabetes medications. Prior to surgery he was scheduled to have knee replacements. He no longer needs that procedure and his knees are pain-free. Avalos has not been at his current size since middle school and has lost 113 pounds since his surgery. He now gets to enjoy playing with his grandkids, doing yard work and working on cars. "It feels like I can do anything," says Avalos. "I have been going to the gym for the past year and have discovered muscles that I didn't know I had."
Catherine Carruthers was borderline diabetic and had difficulty walking because of chronic ankle and knee pain. After trying to battle her weight problem alone, Carruthers decided that she needed help if she was going to see results..
Bariatric surgery was the help she needed. Since her surgery Carruthers has lost 179 pounds. She is no longer at risk for diabetes and her ankle and knee pain has subsided. "I can easily walk a mile without stopping now," said Carruthers. "I have the energy levels I had in high school." Carruthers now enjoys spending time outdoors with her family - fishing, hiking and biking. She can even go shopping, which was a task before her surgery. Carruthers' only regret is that she should have had the procedure done sooner.
Claudia Silva had no energy. She suffered from joint pain every morning. At only 35 years old, Silva was told by her doctor that she was on track to develop diabetes.
Silva had watched her mother suffer with weight-related health problems and she didn't want that for her own 2 daughters.
Scared of her constant fatigue and discomfort, Silva realized she had to do something. The decision to have bariatric surgery changed her life. Silva has now lost 90 pounds, her joint pain is gone and her energy levels have returned to normal. She now enjoys playing with her kids and participating in their activities. "I can swing on swings with my kids and even go down slides, whereas before I couldn't even get up if I sat down on the floor."
Silva feels comfortable exercising and has discovered a new life with her children. Her only regret? "Not having the procedure sooner!" says Silva. With a new body and a new attitude, Silva has started living life again.

Manser, M B (2001). The acoustic structure of suricates' alarm calls varies with predator type and the level of response urgency. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 268(1483):2315-2324.
Full text not available from this repository.
View at publisher
The variation in the acoustic structure of alarm calls appears to convey information about the level of response urgency in some species, while in others it seems to denote the type of predator. While theoretical models and studies on species with functionally referential calls have emphasized that any animal signal considered to have an external referent also includes motivational content, to our knowledge, no empirical study has been able to show this. In this paper, I present an example of a graded alarm call system that combines referential information and also information on the level of urgency. Acoustically different alarm calls in the social mongoose Suricata suricatta are given in response to different predator types, but their call structure also varies depending on the level of urgency. Low urgency calls tend to be harmonic across all predator types, while high urgency calls are noisier. There was less evidence for consistency in the acoustic parameters assigned to particular predator types across different levels of urgency. This suggests that, while suricates convey information about the level of urgency along a general rule, the referential information about each category of predator type is not encoded in an obvious way.

While introducing preorders, Roy L. Crole in Cateories for Types states
If $x \leq y$ and $y \leq x$ then we shall write $x \cong y$ and say that $x$ and $y$ are isomorphic elements.
I'm trying to wrap my head around this in relation to a later exercise problem. How do I go about looking for a preorder with at least two elements which are isomorphic but not identical?
Edit: After giving this some thought, and before reading the answers below, I realized that my question is related to the anti-symmetric property which turns a preorder into a poset. In particular, I can rephrase my question as looking for an example of a preorder which is not also a poset.

Monday Photo Gallery
UW Bowl Game Central | CoachSark.com Blog
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Jermaine Kearse was wearing a wetsuit, twirling like a ballerina. In the pool two feet away, Luna the 1,700-pound beluga imitated the wide receiver's aquatic moves.
A whale trainer then asked Cort Dennison to perform barrel rolls for Luna.
"Barrel rolls? In the water?" the middle linebacker asked.
He knew the pool was 58 degrees, and the crisp morning air was maybe 45.
Luna, Oliver, Imaq, and Martha, beluga whales from SeaWorld San Antonio, capped the fun morning for these visitors from Washington by giving each Husky kisses. And, yes, the whales got some back in return.
"That kiss was top notch," Dennison joked next to the whale's tank, his black, double-XL, SeaWorld wetsuit glistening in the sun.
Early Monday, 18 Huskies seniors trudged through a back entrance of SeaWorld, about a half hour from where Washington (7-5) will play Baylor (9-3) at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Alamo Bowl.
It was 7 a.m. on the players' normal body clocks, Pacific time, the morning after Christmas. But the Dawgs perked up quickly during their hour of frolicking with white whales, doing sit ups with a 700-pound walrus and riding a roller coaster alongside a sampling of Baylor players.
"We don't have a SeaWorld in Seattle," Dennison said, "so this is something we will remember the rest of our lives."
The players were genuinely excited by the rare opportunity to "train" with the whales and walruses. They laughed and joked and marveled at them, and asked earnest questions to trainers of their sizes, ages and habits.
Kearse, Dennison, Devin Aguilar and UW's "Special Ops" kicking team of punters Kiel Rasp and Will Mahan plus snapper Brendan Lopez were fully into it once they got into the cool pool - and got splashed by the belugas' back fins. Then one playfully spat water into the players' faces.
"That," Rasp said on the players' bus ride back to the team hotel, "was a cool experience."
It was the start of Washington's packed Monday. The afternoon included a fast-paced, two-hour practice at Alamo Heights High School down the freeway, then a press conference for defensive players and coordinator Nick Holt just off downtown's famed Riverwalk. The players spent the evening attending the NBA opener for Tim Duncan and his San Antonio Spurs.
Back at the whale tank, the Huskies had an easier time interacting with the belugas than they did getting into their tight wetsuits - even though there were sizes on hand up to 8XL.
"For Tim Duncan," trainer Tiffany explained about a frequent, local visitor who is 6-feet-11. "He comes here all the time.
"You really are cracking me up," the trainer told the Huskies of various heights in the clingy suits. "Y'all look like `The Incredibles.'"
The Huskies hopes that's what much of America will be calling them after Thursday's game against Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III and favored Baylor.
The affectionate whales warmed up immediately to the Huskies. The belugas ranged from the big Luna to "little" Oliver - "he's only 800 pounds," his trainer told the players.
The sampling of Washington's seniors - veterans that have gone from an abyss to just the eighth program since 1960 to appear in two bowl games within three seasons of going winless - embraced this cool opportunity. By the end of the hour, Aguilar, Kearse and Dennison were posing for pictures with beluga Martha while flashing Ws. And 330-plus-pound Alameda Ta'mu was doing sit ups with a walrus while marveling about SeaWorld's generously sized coasters.
"I actually fit on the roller coaster rides for the first time in a long time," the senior defensive tackle said with a huge grin. "I think everything in Texas is big."
The behind-the-scenes experience was unlike the more-public ones they had Saturday as a team in the rain at this SeaWorld, and last December in the marine park's San Diego location during Washington's Holiday Bowl trip.
"Our program just keeps building and keeps going up and up. Me, Everrette (Thompson) and Alameda have been here when some times were tough, when we were 0-12," Dennison said later at the downtown press conference. "You only appreciate success when you've been at the bottom. And we've been at the bottom. We realize how that feels.
"Now we realize what success feels like -- and how hard you have to work to get there."
The spoils of that hard work included the seniors feeding the whales fresh fish, leading them in applause and rubbing their soft bellies that the outdoorsman Mahan thought felt like a catfish. Aguilar especially loved following a trainer's request to "hop like a bunny" across the ledge for Oliver. The whale dutifully imitated the wide receiver in the water.
"Hey, you all GOTTA do the hop like a bunny," Aguilar told Baylor players as the teams passed each other to switch ends of the pool and two of the four whales.
"The bunny hop?" some of the Baylor guys asked back to the grinning Aguilar.
Kearse was almost sublime with his pirouettes, his arms extended over his head for Oliver.
"It was fun. I've never done anything like that before," said the Huskies' co-captain from Lakewood, Wash., who had never been to a SeaWorld until last year in San Diego.
"We fed them. We danced with them. Even got a kiss from them," Kearse marveled. "It's an amazing thing to see all that they train them to do.
"And I didn't think I was going to be IN the water."
Defensive coordinator Nick Holt led Dennison, Ta'amu, Thompson, Desmond Trufant and Sean Parker to the Marriott Riverwalk across the street from the team hotel for the defense's Alamo Bowl press conference. In it, Holt, a veteran of Rose Bowls from his time as a coordinator at USC, praised his hosts.
"So far it's been fantastic. Everybody has been nice to us. The facilities have been awesome. The high school that we're practicing at, just a beautiful facility, great weight room, great field," Holt said. "A great Texas welcome, so to speak."
Holt noted practices here Saturday, Sunday and Monday "have been going very, very well. We have a tremendous, tremendous job ahead of us of playing this fantastic Baylor offense with their Heisman Trophy winner. The quarterback is a fantastic player ... and they do a lot of really good things.
"It's a tremendous, tremendous opportunity for us, and hopefully we're up to the challenge. We're excited to be here. Our kids are going to play hard for four quarters, and I think it's going to be a very exciting football game."
QUICK HITS: A key to UW slowing Griffin and Baylor is controlling the line of scrimmage against the Bears' big, veteran offensive line. And Washington's hopes of doing that is getting healthier by the day. In addition to fitting inside roller coasters for the first time in forever - "it's nice not to be embarrassed in front of a crowd, not to have to be pulled out of line," Ta'amu joked, the big DT says he is as healthy as he's been since his dominant night in last season's Holiday Bowl. He now hardly notices the previously broken thumb that kept him from moving offensive linemen most of this season. "This is the healthiest I've been in a long time," he said. ... Monday's energetic practice mirrored what would normally be a Wednesday work day before a Saturday regular-season game. The Huskies will practice outdoors again Tuesday. They will get familiar with the Alamodome game site in a walkthrough practice Wednesday. ... Tuesday afternoon, about a half dozen players from each team will visit the Center for the Intrepid, a 65,000 square-foot, $50 million state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility for wounded veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who have suffered amputation, undergone limb salvage and been treated for burns. The $50 million center opened in January 2007 after being entirely privately funded by the donations of 600,000 Americans. ... Tuesday night, Huskies players, coaches, bands and cheerleaders will participate in an Alamo Bowl barbecue and pep rally on the Riverwalk.

My own personal opinion, up until recently, of stop animation was that it was cheesy, boring and not worth my time. Then I saw Pirates! Band of Misfits and Sarah had a brief interview with Peter Lord, where we discovered the skill and amazing talent it … [Read more...]

Example Dissertation Is an Inspiration for Students
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Roman philosopher and playwright, says, "The road to learning by precept is long, but by example short and effective." This statement is always true especially with students. Example dissertations help the students understand the pattern of writing a dissertation assignment easily rather than just referring the guidelines offered by professors.
Example dissertations provide practical depiction of dissertation. "Example dissertations help the students struggling with a long list of dissertation guidelines to easily understand the proposed steps for writing a dissertation." But it is useful for a student to use a dissertation example as a template only if the university, in which the student studies, requires the same dissertation format and structure.
Example dissertation: How it inspires students?
- Provides clear idea for writing dissertation - Some students may find it difficult to write a dissertation just by using the long list of guidelines provided by their professor. The example dissertations that have been written in the writing style and format same as that required by their university, can provide the students a clear idea and proposed steps to successfully write their dissertation.
- Provides confidence - Example dissertations provide the students with the necessary confidence to write their dissertation easily.
- Useful to find references - Example dissertations can be used as references to find the journals, books, quotes and cases related to their dissertation topic.
- Develops dissertation writing skill – Dissertation example helps the students to develop their dissertation writing skill. Students can develop the skill to write a good critical essay through your professor's guidance, discussions with other students, by referring to some critical essay samples, and through experience.
- Useful as template – The sample dissertation can be used as dissertation template if it uses the required format.
Different universities expect dissertations of different requirements and format. Hence, students should be careful enough to use only the example dissertation with the same format required by their university, if they use they use the example as a template. Also, students must ensure not to copy anything from that example dissertation.

The Building Codes Division is now accepting applications
for the Specialized Finals Inspector Certification (SFI) course.
We will begin reviewing applications on Friday, March 16. We will
try to accommodate as many jurisdictions as possible. The SFI
course is open to inspectors who currently hold an Oregon Inspector
Certification (OIC) and an Oregon Code Certification (OCC) for
electrical or plumbing or ICC certification for structural or
mechanical inspections and who have worked performing inspections
for a jurisdiction for at least one year. The SFI certification
is designed to allow a single inspector to perform all final inspections
on a one- or two-family residence. The scope of the certification
is limited to those items that have been previously inspected
and approved or where no previous inspection is required and the
item is otherwise ready for a final inspection.
Certification has four components: a self-paced online
class, a two-day live class, 40 supervised inspections,
and an exam. Participants must complete all segments
of the course, including those reviewing material in
their current area of certification. The fieldwork component
is divided equally between structural, mechanical, plumbing,
and electrical supervised inspections. A single jobsite
may count toward multiple inspections. For example,
a final inspection consisting of structural, mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing components counts toward four
inspections. The inspections must be supervised by an
inspector properly certified to perform the particular
electrical, structural, plumbing, or mechanical inspection.
Participants will be their own supervisor for those
subject areas for which they hold an appropriate certification.
The online course will begin on Monday, April 2, 2012.
Like previous specialized courses, the final inspector
course will be offered through Chemeketa Community College's
eLearn system. The total cost is $200. The fee includes
the course and the examination. Space is limited, so
get your application in soon. If you have questions
or need more information, contact Aeron Teverbaugh at
503-373-1354 or email@example.com
or Tiffani Alexander at 503-373-1248 or email@example.com.
BCD recently issued addenda in conjunction with the
adoption of the new Oregon Structural Specialty Code
(OSSC) accessibility provisions with an effective date
of March 1, 2012.
The addenda was necessary to ensure that the code provisions
reflect the more restrictive application of Oregon Revised
Statute 447.233 as it relates to the width of accessible
parking spaces.
The notice affects the following OSSC sections
and figures:
1220.127.116.11 Vehicle Space Width
1220.127.116.11 Access Aisle Width
Chapter 11 Figures: 2 through 6 and 10
Section 1101.2.2 (Amendments to ICC A177.1) was
modified as follows:
1184.108.40.206 Vehicle Space Width - ICC A117.1
Section 502.1. ICC A117.1 Section 502.1 is deleted
in its entirety and replaced with the following: Car
and van parking spaces shall be 108 inches (2743.2 mm)
minimum in width.
1184.108.40.206 Access Aisle Width - ICC A117.1 Section
502.4.2. ICC A117.1 Section 502.4.2 is deleted in
its entirety and replaced with the following: Access
aisles serving car parking spaces shall be 72 inches
(1828.8 mm) minimum in width. Access aisles serving
van parking spaces shall be 96 inches (2438.39 mm) minimum
in width.
Modified figures and the above referenced text are included in
the 2010 ADA Update.
Have you wondered which energy code applies to residential
construction: Chapter 4 of the 2010 Oregon Energy Efficiency
Specialty Code (OEESC) or Chapter 11 of the 2011 Oregon
Residential Specialty Code (ORSC)? The simple answer
is when permitting a one- or two-family residence under
the 2011 ORSC, Chapter 11 will apply.
There are a few different R-Occupancies where the simple
reference to the ORSC Chapter 11 won't apply. The following
table is for reference for some of these special circumstances:
Building Type Occupancy
Building Code
Energy Provisions
1 & 2 Family, Townhomes
ORSC Ch. 11
R-2, R-4 (3-stories and less)
OEESC Ch. 4
SR-1, SR-2 (I-Occupancy)
OEESC Ch. 5
R-2 (Under Appendix N)
OSSC Appendix N
ORSC Ch.11
R-2, R-4 (4-stories and more)
The OEESC continues to apply to commercial structures.
It is directly referenced from OSSC Chapter 13. Commercial/mixed-use
projects four stories or more with residential occupancies
permitted under the OSSC will continue to use Chapter
5 of the OEESC, using the R-Occupancy provisions where
BCD is providing a self-paced Oregon Structural Specialty
Code Accessibility Revisions course and the Oregon Energy
Efficiency Specialty Code course through Chemeketa Community
College's eLearn system. If you are already registered
in the current winter term for either of these courses,
you have until Saturday, March 24, to complete them.
If you are unable to complete the courses by March 24,
you will not get credit and you will need to register
(and pay) again for the spring term.
Spring term opens Monday, April 2, when you can again register
for both courses, and ends Saturday, June 16. After you register,
these self-paced classes are available online 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. You can take the whole course, usually between
three and eight hours, in one session or in several sessions.
Each course costs $35 and is the equivalent of four hours of a
live class.
For more information, contact Sherri West, training
coordinator, at email@example.com
or 503-373-7509.
Tim Lindsey, regional coordinator for Central Oregon,
retired from state service effective March 1. Before
his four years with BCD, Tim served as the building
official for Cannon Beach from 1989 to 2007 and was
a custom home builder on the coast from 1980 to 1988.
Tim's problem-solving skills, commitment to public service,
and sense of humor will be missed. Until Tim's position
is permanently filled, Jerod Broadfoot will be covering
the Central region in addition to his duties as the
Eastern Oregon regional coordinator. Jerod can be reached

I'm cheking one colocation offer, and terms specify:
50 watt power consumption included, additional power usage 29,75 € cents per watt
How do I know how much will HP PROLIANT DL320G6 use power? I know that this depends on the actual server configuration (cpu, disks, memory), but in general, what can I do with 50 watts included in monthly price.
I know that G6 is specially redesigned to be power efficient (as with all G6 servers).
Hope my question did make some sense.

Phaedra Parks has a lot on her plate.
In addition to dealing with the fraud charges against her husband, Parks is also dealing with her own suit, which she filed against a woman who accused her of running a check cashing scheme.
And now, as if that weren't all enough, Parks has been accused of cheating on her husband with a woman.
"I actually through that Angela [Stanton] and Phaedra had an… I though they were together, Stanton's ex-boyfriend Justin Cody revealed to Radar Online on Feb. 27. And when asked if he was referring to a romantic relationship, he said that he thought Parks was Stanton's "girlfriend."
"That was one of the reasons me and Angela broke up," Cody said.
Since Parks' sexuality has never came up as an issue, hearing this news is quite shocking — especially considering she is married and has two children.
If Parks has been cheating on her husband, she's surely going to have some serious questions to answer, but for now, since Cody's claims have come without proof, there isn't much to say.
As for when fans will see Phaedra Parks' spinoff, Rich People Problems, rumor has it that it has been cancelled because of all of Parks' husband's legal problems.

The photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is an important model protein for many (photoactive) signaling proteins. Key steps in the PYP photocycle are the isomerization and protonation of its chromophore, p-coumaric acid (pCA). In the ground state of the protein, this chromophore is in the trans configuration with its phenolic oxygen deprotonated. For this paper, we studied four different configurations of pCA solvated in water with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations as implemented in CP2K/Quickstep. We researched the influence of the protonation and isomerization state of pCA on its hydrogen-bonding properties and on the Mulliken charges of the atoms in the simulation. The chromophore isomerization state influenced the hydrogen-bonding less than its protonation state. In general, more charge yielded a higher hydrogen-bond coordination number. Where deprotonation increases both the coordination number and the residence time of the water, molecules around the chromophore, protonation showed a somewhat lower coordination number on two of the three pCA oxygens but much higher residence times on all of them. This could be explained by the increased polarization of the OH groups of the molecule. The presence of the chromophore also influenced the charge and polarization of the water molecules around it. This effect was different in the four systems studied and mainly localized in the first solvation shell. We also performed a proton-transfer reaction from hydronium through various other water molecules to the chromophore. In this small charge-separated system, the protonation occurred within 6.5 ps. We identified the transition state for the final step in this protonation series.

Indiana Pacers forward Paul George suffered a horrific, season-ending injury Friday, during the fourth quarter of what had been a highlight-driven scrimmage. The action stopped immediately when George, who had challenged Houston Rockets guard James Harden at the basket, landed his right foot on the basket's support stanchion. The angle and force of the landing caused an immediate snap above George's ankle, or what's known as a tibia-fibula fracture.
George played for "Team Blue" during the scrimmage, along with Washington Wizards guard John Wall. On the other side, Wizards teammate Bradley Beal played for "Team White." Wall, and many of those on Washington's roster, were quick to wish George a speedy recovery.
Everybody pray for my bro @Paul_George24 and wish him a speedy recovery...Luv ya bro !!
(Wall, via Twitter)
According to reports, the basket's stanchion was set a good two feet closer to the court than normal NBA regulations allow, which may have or may not have resulted in George thinking there was more room underneath the basket where he could land. The NBA decided to blur their copy of the video, but you can find an uncensored version on YouTube. Warning: you will definitely cringe. Either way, this freak injury will surely write off the Thomas & Mack Center as a go to for USA Basketball.
Thanks everybody for the love and support.. I'll be ok and be back better than ever!!! Love y'all!! #YoungTrece
(George, via Twitter)
While George handled the pressure of the moment quite well (regardless of what seems to be a possible lawsuit in the making), Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose proved why George shouldn't worry all that much about his recent setback. After all, Rose suffered back-to-back tears in opposing knees, yet he looked great at the USA Basketball Showcase, displaying bounce, speed, and everything you'd expect from the former All-Star. It's a lot to swallow as a Pacers fan, but George should have a chance to return to form. The absence of George might also help strengthen the play of Roy Hibbert, who will need to focus his game this season following his dreadfully inconsistent postseason. In fact, the loss of George might be a blessing in disguise, as Hibbert will be required to pull more weight and thus adapt this season.
As for the rest of the league, George's injury opens the Eastern Conference even wider than before. The Bulls are sitting on a heap of talent despite a Summer League tweak suffered by rookie Doug McDermott, the Wizards are coming back with some strong pieces of their own, and the Cleveland Cavaliers look as if they will acquire Kevin Love to play alongside LeBron James. If Love does make the move, the Wizards will likely rank third in the East, and should have a great chance at an Eastern Conference Finals run.

Amid the global economic uncertainties, it is anticipated that global Smartphone shipment volume will still witness a 27% year-on-year growth to around 868.0 million units in 2013. However, the global Smartphone industry is highly concentrated such that the combined revenue share of Apple and Samsung is expected to have reached around 60% and the combined profit share around 95% in 2012, thereby leaving only 5% of profits to be shared by other Smartphone branded vendors. This report profiles the development of the global Smartphone industry in 2012, examines strategies of five major groups in the industry and provides an insight into the future outlook of the industry while pointing out feasible product strategies to be put in place by other Smartphone brands, aside from Apple and Samsung, in order to seize a larger piece of the market-pie.

Have you ever had to explain the difference between lead generation and demand generation? Were you left with a stutter and lost for words? Here's a post that will clearly lay out definitions, goals, responsibilities and plenty of examples so you are never blurry-eyed about the difference between demand generation and lead generation again.
It is imperative to make the distinction between the two as marketing becomes increasingly more accountable to the C suite. Marketers today are under the spotlight. They are asked to demonstrate ROI for each marketing dollar spent. Lead generation is one of the best ways to evaluate demand generation efforts. Learn to tell them apart.
Distinct Features of Demand Generation
Definition: Demand generation covers all marketing activities that create awareness about your product, company and industry. It includes a mix of inbound and outbound marketing.
Goal: Brand awareness, positioning. Create interest and change perspectives.
- It is a marketing-centric activity.
- Demand generation not only focusses on your offering but also on your industry.
- There are dedicated personnel for demand generation with titles such as demand generation manager and VP demand generation.
- Examples:
- A whitepaper, blogs.
- A PPC campaign.
- A product video hosted on YouTube.
- A booth at an industry event.
Distinct Features of Lead Generation
Definition: Lead Generation is the process of collecting leads through form fills or website tracking software to add to your database of leads.
Goal: Collecting leads to follow up with.
- It is a sales-centric activity.
- Lead generation is a subset of demand generation.
- There are no specialized personnel just for lead generation; the demand generation manager usually takes care of lead generation as well.
- Examples:
- A form ahead of your whitepaper/webinar.
- A form on your PPC landing page.
- Website visitor tracking of all your website visitors.
- A form kept at your booth in an industry event.
- A form to receive periodic communication such as newsletters.
The Toss Up Between Demand Generation and Lead Generation
B2B digital marketer, Eric Wittlake believes lead generation is crippling demand generation as lead generation forms act as a barricade to the free distribution and sharing of content. But can you do without forms altogether? Can every content asset be free and ungated?
Forms = contact information, better quality leads and conversion
No form = more traffic, social media sharing and inbound links
You can't do lead generation without demand generation. The two go together. You just need to find the right mix.
If you have trouble mixing the right concoction in your organization, don't hesitate to reach out to me at firstname.lastname@example.com or find me on Twitter @DemandArchitect to get some expert advice.

The City of Columbus will decrease the taxpayers' share of rising health care costs by an estimated $500,000 next year through changes that include increasing the employee contribution amount while still offering very competitive rates and excellent benefits. The City's Board of Public Works and Safety approved the changes at its regular weekly meeting Tuesday, November 5th.
The City is self-insured and has seen its health care benefits continue to increase in cost over the past few years. From 2010 to 2012, the total plan costs increased from $4.15 million to $5.23 million, a 26 percent increase over the two years. During that same time period, employees have paid the same 7.2 percent contribution for health care premiums. The City of Columbus has been self-insured for at least 20 years, and it continues to offer the most cost effective method to provide employee health care benefits. The City has explored the cost of being insured through a private carrier, but has found that doing so is significantly more expensive than maintaining its own insurance benefits.
Changes approved by the Board of Works increased the employee contribution for the first time in five years and will require employees to pay specific rates that amount to a 10 percent contribution. These rates remain very favorable when compared to the national average for employees' share of premiums, which is about 28 percent.
"This was a necessary step, and when we compare ourselves to others we are still offering very competitive benefits," said Mayor Kristen Brown, a member of the Board of Works. "Employees in both the public and private sectors have had to share in the increase of health care costs, and our employees will share some of our cost increases with the taxpayers. We continue to explore ways that minimize the cost to our employees."
The 2014 City of Columbus employee premium contribution rates:
- Employee only, $33.24 per pay (currently $23.92 per pay) with an annual impact of $242.32.
- Employee and spouse, $73.12 per pay (currently $52.22 per pay) with an annual impact of $543.40.
- Employee and dependent, $61.49 per pay (currently $44.06 per pay) with an annual impact of $453.18.
- Family, $83.09 per pay (currently $59.59 per pay) with an annual impact of $611.00.
The new rates will decrease the City's costs by an estimated $180,000. Other changes approved by the Board of Works and their savings include:
- Increase the deductible from $500 for a single employee and $1,000 for a family to $750 for a single employee and $1,500 for a family. The increase will also raise coinsurance (maximum amount out-of-pocket costs) from $3,000 for a single employee and $6,000 for a family to $4,000 for a single employee and $8,000 for a family. These changes equal a decrease in cost by an estimated $175,000.
- Implement a spousal carve out for spouses employed elsewhere with benefits, a decrease in cost by an estimated $125,000.
- Change physical therapy/occupational therapy/and speech-cognitive therapy from 90 percent coverage to 80 percent coverage, a decrease in cost by an estimated $35,000.
The total projected 2014 plan decrease in cost for the City is projected to be an estimated $515,000. The Board of Works acted on recommendations from the City's Insurance Review Committee, which is comprised of three appointments by the Mayor, three appointments by the City Council, and members representing the Fire, Parks and Recreation, and Utilities departments. The City Council, Board of Public Works and Safety and other part-time employees are not eligible to receive the City's health care benefits.

The truck offers impressive power and capability per dollar spent, and now it looks as if Chrysler aims to give buyers a little extra functionality, as well. For 2012, the Tradesman can be had in either Crew Cab or Quad Cab configurations to provide comfortable-enough transportation for six adults.

The Daily Fix Tournament Special: West Region
Connecticut or Memphis? Big East or Conference USA? Twenty-seven wins or 31?
Perhaps the toughest choice the NCAA selection committee faced this year was who should be seeded No. 1 — the University of Connecticut Huskies or the University of Memphis Tigers.
And an argument could be made for both.
The Huskies did more than survive the meat grinder that was the Big East — a league that claimed three No. 1 seeds. They thrived. Connecticut won 27 games, spent four weeks ranked No. 1 in the nation, and perhaps most impressively, didn't lose on the road until falling at Pittsburgh last week.
Memphis, for its part, reeled off 25 straight wins after installing Tyreke Evans as point guard. It won the Conference USA regular season title and the conference tournament. And need we forget, last year the Tigers came within "one miracle jumper from Kansas' Mario Chalmers of winning it all," Mike Lupica writes in the New York Daily News.
In the end, the Selection Committee went with Connecticut.
"Lots of folks thought Memphis would sneak past UConn for the final No.1 spot," Jeff Jacobs writes in the Hartford Courant. "Their [Connecticut's] body of work earned them a No.1 seed, earned the possibility of a trip to Phoenix after Philadelphia to eventually face down Memphis."
The committee's decision to send the Huskies west may be a good omen for them, Mark Blaudschun explains in the Boston Globe. The reason is simple: Twice Jim Calhoun and the Huskies have won the national championship. Both times they came out of the West.
And if superstition isn't enough to bring a smile to Calhoun's face, then the top half of the West bracket may well do the trick. There is no one in the top half of this bracket who poses any kind of serious threat to UConn, John Feinstein argues in the Washington Post.
Memphis, meanwhile, will have to deal with its No. 2 seed, but the Tigers don't have to be happy about it. Of the committee's decision, Mr. Lupica writes: "Somehow after all the games Calipari's team has won the last two seasons — 69 is the number — it is as if they are still not part of the club in college basketball."
Yet being passed over for the top seed could, in the end, be a positive for Memphis. Few teams, if any, will have as big a chip on their shoulders as the Tigers. And this is one reason San Jose Mercury News columnist Tim Kawakami sees Memphis running the table.
To make it to Detroit's Ford Field, though, Memphis may have to go through No. 3 seed Missouri — a popular Final Four pick. Mike Anderson, in his third year as coach of the Tigers, has reinvigorated the storied program. Missouri claimed the Big 12 tournament title and finished 28-6. That's a far cry from the 16-16 team that was plagued with suspensions at the end of last season. "Through it all, critics became more vocal, wondering aloud whether Anderson was the right choice to put behind Missouri the tarnished final years of Quin Snyder and Ricky Clemons, jailhouse tapes and ATV accidents at the house of then-MU systems president Elson Floyd," Mike DeArmond writes in the Kansas City Star. Of course, winning has a way of silencing the critics.
If Missouri is to make a run to Detroit, it will receive key contributions from four freshmen, starting with its first-round date against Cornell. "Guards Marcus Denmon, Kim English and Miguel Paul, and forward Laurence Bowers will be on the court — probably early, and possibly often — when the Tigers face the Ivy League champs in Boise, Idaho," Bill Coats of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writes. "None of the freshmen starts, but each is vital to Missouri's frenetic, foot-on-the-throat attack."
Memphis is not alone in having reason to carp about its seeding in the West. The fourth-seeded Washington Huskies will square off against Southeastern Conference tournament champion Mississippi State in the first round. True, the Bulldogs most likely would not have gone to the Dance without running the SEC table, but the fact remains they did it.
Don't expect Washington to complain, though. "Go ahead and tell the Huskies they got a raw bracket. Tell them it doesn't make sense for the SEC tournament winner to play the Pac-10 regular-season champ in the first round. Tell them Mississippi State has a center, Jarvis Varnado, who averages nearly five blocks per game, and how many No. 13 seeds have ever possessed a player with his go-go-Gadget arms," Seattle Times columnist Jerry Brewer writes. "Now, listen to [Washington coach Lorenzo] Romar laugh and say, 'You can't block them all, at least I don't think.' "
Finally, it wouldn't be an NCAA Tournament without an underdog, and the Tennessee-Chattanooga Mocs are hoping they fit the bill. The West's 16th seed is trying to find reason to believe it can win its matchup against Connecticut, Mike Anthony writes in the Hartford Courant.
Former Chattanooga standout Alphonso Pugh looks back to the first half of the Mocs' 2005 NCAA game against Wake Forest to find reason to believe, Gene Henley writes in the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Chattanooga led 27-24 at the half before former Wake Forest point guard Chris Paul took over. "That game made me realize that anybody can win at any given time," Mr. Pugh says.

Vertu Ascent Ti Damascus Steel is tough like a sword
Vertu, Nokia's luxury phone division, has just unveiled a new phone from its Ascent Ti collection: the Vertu Ascent Ti Damascus Steel.
The handset is built using an "ancient steel forging" technique that increases the metal's hardness. Apparently, said technique was used throughout the centuries to make, for example, Samurai swords (katana) or Indian Wootz swords – which kinda explains the phone's fierce look
The specs of Vertu Damascus Steel are probably similar to the ones found in all the Ascent Ti phones, so they should include: a QVGA display, S40 UI, GSM/UMTS connectivity, a 3.2MP camera with LED flash, and 4GB of internal memory.
Vertu Ascent Ti Damascus Steel will be available in a limited 100-units edition, each of the units coming with unique hand-made swirl designs. The phone's price is not known at the moment.

A man called 911 in somewhat of a panic when his wife got "stuck" in her jacket. The Oregon man was getting frustrated that his wife couldn't get her coat off because the zipper was stuck -- so he decided to call for emergency help. In a video report by GeoBeats, you can hear the exchange between the man and the 911 operator -- and it's definitely worth a listen.
Concerned and doing her job, the 911 operator calmly asked the man if his wife was breathing. He told the operator that his wife was just fine -- but that she couldn't get out of the coat and needed help.
The 911 operator asked the man if he tried cutting the coat off and he told her that he didn't want to because it was "a nice jacket." Moments later, the fire department showed up at the couple's home and helped the woman get out of the coat (though it's unknown if they cut it off of her or not).
The phone recording is being used as part of the "You Called 911 For That?" campaign in Washington county.

Irrepressible: The Life and Times of Jessica Mitford
Jessica 'Decca' Mitford, sixth of the seven Mitford children, had several very famous sisters: Diana Moseley, authoress Nancy Mitford, Unity Mitford and Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire. Yet, as Leslie Brody's excellent biography, Irrepressible, demonstrates, Decca herself ought to be equally lauded for her radical politics, her incredible determination and her later work as a journalist.
Born in 1917 to Baron David and Lady Sydney Redesdale, Decca grew up in the idyllic English countryside. From the outset, however, she was desperate to escape the stuffiness of the British class system and the highly privileged but claustrophobic Mitford household. At nineteen, she met Churchill's nephew, Esmond Romilly, and together they tried to elope to fight fascism in Spain. Thus begins Decca's remarkable life, which was spent in London, Scotland and eventually America.
Irrepressible gives a very well researched account of Decca's life, particularly of her time in the United States, and Brody's prose is unfailingly fluid. Whilst not a huge amount of space is devoted to Decca's childhood, the sections on her time in America and especially her later reconciliation with her sisters and mother are beautifully drawn out. The Mitford sisters surely provide all a biographer can hope for in terms of subject matter but it is a real art to condense so many events and historical figures successfully. May Decca now be remembered as often as her other sisters for her wit, her resolve in the face of hardship and her later work as an investigative journalist.

From Grand Theft Wiki
The Mafia (also known as Cosa Nostra or The Commission ), is a real-life criminal secret society which first developed in the mid-19th century in Sicily. An offshoot emerged on the East Coast of the United States during the late 19th century following waves of immigration. In America, the Mafia often refers to Italian American organized crime in general, rather than just Sicilian American organized crime. Each Mafia family is lead by a Don or Capo Crimine.

Lower Back Exercise – Yoga Spinal Twists
Yoga for Lower Back and Spine
Lower Back Stretches
Veteran yogis know that as soon as we start to mention lower back exercises or spinal workouts, we are entering the domain of kundalini shakti. This is because kundalini energy resides as pure potential at the base of the spine, and exercises which target this lower back region, inevitably tend to stimulate this latent energy, often causing her to stir and awaken. Kundalini Yoga Spinal Twists is no different.
In fact, much of the design of this exercise is to stimulate kundalini at the base of the spine, so along with helping you stretch your lower back, this exercise will also help you with realizing your full human potential. As I have mentioned before, doing spinal warm-ups is very key before doing any yoga sets, as this not only helps prevent injuries, but also helps to prepare the spine for the conduction of energy throughout the important regions of the body. The Spinal Warm-up Series is the best set to get your entire back ready for more vigorous yoga, and Yoga Spinal Twists demonstrated here in this article, can be used to substitute for the spinal twists which are given with the Spinal Warm-up Series. Using this variation of Spinal Twists can help you add variety to your workout and also, this version has some different benefits than the original as well.
Some of the important aspects of Yoga Spinal Twists are the hand position and the breathing that accompanies this exercise, so be sure to pay special attention to these two parts. This exercise will be part of the following 2 free online e-books here on Mastery of Meditation and Yoga: Free Hatha Yoga Poses and Online Kundalini Yoga Exercises, where you will find a large collection of other yoga poses and exercises, fully illustrated and detailed.
Please also follow the guidelines on how to practice yoga, which I have detailed in the following 2 articles, Beginner's Guide to Yoga Practice and Guidelines for Kundalini Yoga Practice.
Yoga Spinal Twists for Stretching Lower Back
Illustration #1 Starting Position for Yoga Spinal Twists
Illustration #2 Lower Back Stretch Left
Illustration #3 Lower Back Stretch Right
Yoga Spinal Twists for Stretching Lower Back:
a. Instructions for Yoga Spinal Twists:
- Sit in easy pose (legs crossed). You can see I am using a cushion in the illustrations above and sitting in Burmese Style (one leg in front of the other).
- Extend both arms behind you, interlace your fingers and pull your hands away from your lower back, as I have demonstrated in illustration #1.
- Close you eyes and concentrate on the base of your spine.
- Inhale through the nose as you twist to the left. Then exhale through the nose as you twist right.
- Start slowly and allow the back muscles to get limber and warmed up before picking up your pace.
- Continue at a smooth, steady pace for the duration of the exercise.
b. Duration for Yoga Spinal Twists: 1-5 mins
c. Benefits of Yoga Spinal Twists:
- Excellent for stretching your lumbar spine and lower back region.
- Strengthens your lower back muscles.
- Stimulates Kundalini Shakti (Energy) at the base of the spine.
- Stretches your shoulder and arms.
- Improves your respiratory system.
- Helps balance your energies and creates internal harmony.
- Good for your digestive system.
d. Practice Tips for Yoga Spinal Twists:
- Take a break in between in you start to feel dizzy or tired, then start again once ready.
- Great exercise to use in the beginning of any set to stretch and warm-up the lower back and spine.
- If you have back problems, twist slowly and don't over strain. As your back heals you can pick up the intensity.
Another great exercise that I would like to mention for helping to stretch your lower back and spine is Cobra Pose for Healthy Back.

College Hockey:Team USA dominates Latvia in World Junior relegation round
Austin Watson's natural hat trick and four assists led the U.S. National Junior Team past Latvia 12-2 Tuesday afternoon at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary in the relegation round of the World Junior Championship.
"I was happy with our effort and intensity," said Team USA coach Dean Blais in a news release. "It was good to see our offense gel today and hopefully, that can continue tomorrow."
Nick Bjugstad added a hat trick of his own, while United States captain Jason Zucker (Denver), J.T. Miller, Bill Arnold (Boston College), Adam Clendening (Boston University), Kyle Rau (Minnesota) and Austin Czarnik (Miami) added singles.
Jack Campbell made 27 saves in the win.
Team USA improved to 2-0-0-3 (W-OTW-OTL-L) overall and with a win against Switzerland on Wednesday (Jan. 4) would finish in seventh place.

Report: Being Obese For a Long Time Linked to Heart Disease
Written by Phyllis Smith
Last updated on July 19, 2013 @ 7:10PM
Created on July 19, 2013 @ 5:24PM
According to a new study, it's not just how much weight you're carrying around that adds to your heart disease risk. It's how long you've been obese that plays a big role as well.
Heart disease is one of the top killers in our own state. The results from the study suggest that becoming obese at an earlier age could lead to major heart problems by middle age.
Researchers said the study may give doctors more to think about when trying to determine an overweight patient's risk for health problems. Medical officials in our area said it's something very important to consider.
Dr. Elizabeth Hess from UHC said, "Our childhood obesity epidemic is going to translate into an adult heart disease epidemic. What we need to try to target is younger patients, and get them to adopt healthier lifestyles earlier, and help prevent obesity into adulthood."
Those with stomach fat have a higher risk of developing heart disease.

REPORT: Octomom Fights Actress Kristen Johnston on Plane
After wreaking havoc on the set of the "Today Show," Nadya Suleman's kids reportedly led to an airplane fight between the Octomom and actress Kristen Johnston.
The "3rd Rock From the Sun" star supposedly asked Suleman to control her noisy children on a delayed flight from New York to Los Angeles.
Suleman reportedly replied, "How would you like me to keep eight 2-year-olds quiet?" according to TMZ.
Johnston then suggested Suleman "Get more help!" to which the Octomom is quoted as saying, "Why don't you grow a baby and get a life!"
The site reports that Johnston eventually got off the plane, which was stuck on the ground for two hours.
"I guess there's some people that don't like kids," Suleman said to photographers upon landing in Los Angeles.
As she told Ann Curry yesterday, the Octomom now supports her family through personal appearances and boxing matches.
No word yet on whether she and Johnston plan to lace up the gloves.

Here is what you may have missed this week on the HerRoom blog:
Brand Spotlight: Goddess
The leading brand for full figured lingerie continues to provide women with curves the highest quality bras. Goddess bras are especially designed for the full busted woman who needs support and craves a little luxury too.
Barely 40: Only For Special Occasions?
When you've been in a long-term relationship, whether it be a marriage or partnership, it's easy to fall in a rut with each other. I've been married to my husband for (x) years and I can't think of the last time I blew his mind away with something sexy, like a teddy or garter belt.
Anatomy Of A Bra: Hooks
For optimal wear, your bra's back closure hooks should fit snug on the first (closest to the end) set of loops. As you bra gets warn and natural stretch takes place over time, you will then be able to tighten your bra by hooking on the other sets of loops.
Confessions Of A Curvy Girl: Too Tight, Too Loose or Just Right
Women spend the most time in the morning picking out their outfits. Do we dress for comfort? Function? Or fashion? Of course our job's dress code comes into play.
Classify Your Breasts: Semi-Full Upper Breasts
The upper breast has less fullness, but there is still some fullness. Generally, as a woman ages, she goes from full to semi-full upper breasts. Semi-full breasts will not have quite as much breast fullness when wearing a strapless bra as a woman with full upper breasts.
