Josh Reddick is hurt and the A's season got worse
The A's are 19-23, five games back in the AL West and four games back of a Wild Card spot already. It's surprising their record is even that good, as they've been outscored by 42 runs, have just one starter pitching even adequately, and run out a lineup full of holes each night. They seem directionless at the moment, as no one could explain exactly what the sequel to Moneyball would be about if you based it on their current team. Things are not going to get easier, either, as Josh Reddick—the ...Read More...

I am wondering if this would cause a memory leak or an undefined outcome in C++?
string foo()
char tempArray[30];
strcpy(tempArray, "This is a test");
return string(tempArray);
I know this is a bad thing in C but I haven't found a definite answer for C++.
So everyone is saying no, but I am still confused as to when the memory is deallocated?
Lets say I have this method that calls the above method
void bar()
string testString = foo();
At what point in the above code does the string object returned from foo() call its destructor? Is it immediately after getting copied into the object testString?

I've been regaining my confidence now for a while, so when the lady who competed him stopped I thought I should get my act together and start doing it again myself. So I arranged a joint lesson with a girl from where I keep my horse and with our instructress (who also has a horse at same yard) and to go to a show the following weekend. Well both occasion I ended up on the floor over 2'3" fences with fillers he stops and ducks to the right if I get even slightly in front of the movement, and pulls me forward and rushes. I've been working on his rushing by circling if he gets to strong and not pulling back, oh and also trying to keep my hands down. Now the worse bit, I felt so depressed after trying to be positive and just getting more and more frightened. So they both encouraged me and I agreed to teach him he cant be naughty (he is not inexperienced) so my instructress rode him and when he stopped the other girl smacked him straight away with a lunge whip, and funnily enough he did not stop again for her. The next time I rode him in the menage he was very spooky and I nearly fell off again as for no reason we were trotting on the right rein then he spun 180 and wont trot past the fillers. (though I suppose some days he is like this anyway). Sorry I've gone on anyway the question is they have said he wont learn straight away and it needs backing up with more of the same until he learns there are consequences for his actions? I'm not sure? Though I know something has to change as its ruining my enjoyment and confidence?
Well I've decided that if it feels wrong, it is wrong for Boo and I. Its down to me as advice is different or not at all from others, so I shall just have to listen to my gut feeling on it.

How about you take down all the jumps ie poles on the floor, and just practise riding over those for a while. You could then work towards placing fillers in front of the wings and riding past them with the pole still on the floor.
Don't give up, keep trying, but take things really steady, without the excitement of the jump it will help by giving you both a bit more thinking time, and you'll be able to concentrate much moe on riding positively and straight without the scary bit.
Time and small steps is the best the way

I think that getting the instructor to ride him at a show would be a good idea, as he didn't stop fpr her. I didn't think that smacking him with a lunging whip is the best idea. I think you should maybe take your horse to a show, and not enter classes, just jump him in the warm - up to get him used to the atmosphere. Remember, your horse might be nervous and frightened, rather than being naughty. Riding in the school with fillers in there, just in the middle of the school might also help him with his fear of the fillers, do not force him to go near them, just get him used to them. When riding him at home, warming - up to get him relaxed is good.
I hope I helped! Sorry if I'm useless though...

dont give up, just take it really slpow and build it up!!! even if you go to a show and just ride around in walk and just build it up until you both are feeling confident. Theres no point rushing it as it will dent both of your confidence. Think posisitive thoughts instead of I cant do this ever think I will get there no matter how long and slow the progress. When you do get there and do a nice steady round you will feel on such a high it will be worth it!!!!!! or you could look at it that if you both really dont enjoy it why not do another disapline??

heyy, my horse was doing the exact same when i first got her in april!!! she'd drop her head and shoulder and duck out, and i'd land on the floor! not so fun when you fall off 24 times from april!! haha!!anyways, my instructor told me to keep my hands UP not to pull back and talk to her and use strong legs and if she feels hesitant a tap with a short whip. she soon responded to this and now doesn't refuse nearly as often, actually very rarely. she used to stop at jumps with and without fillers and ive been competing all winter and have had two refusals scince october! so very pleased! try that! it worked for me! :) and rember falling off is all part of the fun! :) my motto: who cares! You're still on!!!! :D

I think its a thing with horses called Boo haha. My lad is exactly the same, he was a horror when i first got him, he would do ANYTHING to get me off, suprisingly it didnt work. But as i gave him the feeling that im not going to let him get away with anything naughty he's started to stop it.
He'll just be taking the piss with you, he's had someone who rode him for a while and now he's got someone else, he wants to see what he can get away with and what he cant.
If you just ignor it and ride him like he's not doing anything, correcting him when your wrong, he'll realise that he cant get away with these things.
Trust me, if anyone else gets on Boo he's acting like a prat from the moment there bum hits the saddle.
Drop a heavy steal object on your foot. Dont pick it up right away, shout "GET OFF IT STUPID!! GET OFF!!"

Jason Robert Brown isn't for everyone, but for those who appreciate his work this is a must see. Not only are the leads great, but Eric Little's piano work is a joy to hear.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- From a spectator's point of view, last Saturday's game was probably one of the most entertaining contests ever played at Kinnick Stadium.
Iowa and Wisconsin scored a total of 61 points. The lead changed hands nine times, and the margin was never more than four points.
Each team scored four touchdowns.
Each team kicked one field goal. Wisconsin kicked four extra points, Iowa kicked three.
And Wisconsin won 31-30 by scoring a touchdown and kicking the extra point with 66 seconds remaining.
Wisconsin blocked the extra point attempt following Iowa's first touchdown. Did the blocked kick decide the game? Not necessarily. There were other coulda, woulda, shoulda moments.
But before gnashing our teeth and wringing our hands -- there's been enough of that elsewhere -- let's look at the good things the Hawkeyes did in this game.
It starts with the offense, which for the second straight game had no turnovers and scored at least 30 points. Ricky Stanzi showed why he leads the Big Ten in pass efficiency, throwing for 258 yards and three touchdowns.
Stanzi's three leading receivers -- Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, Marvin McNutt and Allen Reisner -- each had a TD reception. The 45-yard scoring strike to DJK was beautifully executed and the longest play of the game.
Going into the season, the great unknown was Iowa's new offensive line. At midseason it has jelled and is giving Stanzi solid pass protection. He was sacked only once Saturday, and that was in the final, frantic seconds. Julian Vandervelde is the only o-line senior.
For Iowa to finish the season strong, it has to fix its mistakes, not fret about them. The schedule gets no easier this week with Michigan State visiting Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes have an opportunity to hand the Big Ten's only unbeaten team its first defeat.
Ryan Donahue's punting was a positive factor.
One of his kicks traveled 71 yards, and his average was 60.5.
Early in the season Coach Kirk Ferentz said Iowa's special teams were a work in progress, and he has not changed his assessment in late October. Against Wisconsin, they had four serious breakdowns.
Besides the blocked extra point, there was a botched field goal attempt because of a bad snap, an offside penalty on a kickoff that wound up giving the Badgers a 31-yard advantage in field position (and led to a TD), and a fake punt on which Iowa was badly fooled.
Iowa has now lost two games -- one by seven points and another by one point -- and special teams breakdowns were big factors in the outcome of each contest. More close games are surely ahead, and if the Hawkeyes keep making mistakes on special teams, they'll likely lose some.
It's also disturbing that Iowa's defense has given up 59 points in the last two games. Wisconsin had no big plays, but it won the battle in the trenches by grinding out five scoring drives. When the defense needed to protect an Iowa lead in the final minutes, it failed to do so.
For Iowa to finish the season strong, it has to fix its mistakes, not fret about them. The schedule gets no easier this week with Michigan State visiting Kinnick Stadium.
The Hawkeyes have an opportunity to hand the Big Ten's only unbeaten team its first defeat.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 2001
Running Time: 84
Director: Don Marque
Company: Dane Productions
Cast: Dave Hardman, Johnny Thrust (I), Mark Wood, Jay Ashley, Kylie Brooks, Illona, Maria Silva
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
New releases.
Forget about storylines and vignettes about hookers with hearts of gold - this Dane production gives an unflinching and unromantic view of pros and johns (except for the sex without rubbers and anal sex for $200).
The performers in the video are enthusiastic, and Don Marque allows the sex to unfold naturally and never stretches out a scene for longer than it needs to be. Scenes for solo-stroking johns on a budget to watch include the incredibly cute Kylie Brooks taking Jay Ashley to her "special place" before taking him into her secret place, and Marie Silva's awesome anal with Mark Woods.
Johnny Thrust's final scene is amusing with Thrust playing a jaded, seen-it-all cop who gets his by shaking down loiterers and pros. He gives an amusing and fairly good soliloquy that sounds a lot like the stream-of-consciousness musings that emerge from the boys in blue on Cops. He finds Misty M. on a street corner soliciting, takes her for a ride, and trades her cooch for time in the clink.
Good entertainment for less than the price of a blowjob -- or so I've heard.

When the White House proclaimed October 2004 to be National Cyber Security Awareness Month, the Internet looked very different than it does today. Smartphones and social networks are just two of the dramatic changes of the last decade. Americans are communicating more frequently, with more people, and sharing more personal information than ever.
Do you sometimes find it hard to tell ads from surrounding content when you're online or using a mobile app? Have you ever wondered whether the article you selected is actually an ad? If your answer is yes, you may be interested in an upcoming FTC workshop.
Every now and then, many of us get the strange feeling someone's watching us. Given how easy it is these days for companies to gather information about where we are, what we're doing, and how we're doing it, this may well be more than a feeling.
As we kick off Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations, we think of all the wonderful contributions Latinos have made throughout U.S. history. From Civil War Admiral David G. Farragut to union leaders César Chávez and Dolores Huerta, baseball's Roberto Clemente, Nobel Prize winner Severo Ochoa and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the list of Latinos who have empowered the U.S., and all of its communities, is endless.
Thinking of buying an IP camera to keep an eye on your home or business when you're away? Or maybe you've already set up a security camera that you can access remotely? If so, you'll want to read today's news from the FTC.
If you need some fast cash, you may be tempted by ads touting online payday loans. But before you click on a link and share your personal information, I have a cautionary tale to share.
If you are planning an activity to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15) here's an idea: order the FTC's new "Visit Us" bookmark and distribute it at your event!
Does your dad think spyware is James Bond's tux? When you tell him to be careful about phishing, does he ask you about mercury levels in the lake? When you remind him to clear the cookies on his PC, does he remind you he doesn't eat in the office?
If you answered yes to any of these, it may be time to give Dad a lesson in cyberspeak.
Calling all military families and veterans! Are you looking to protect yourself or your family from fraud, identity theft, and scams? Maybe you're curious about the best way to use credit, shop for a used car, or maximize your security online.
Military folks are consumers, too – and critical to the economy. Just ask the 1.4 million men and women on active duty or the 1.1 million in the National Guard and Reserve forces. But the unique challenges of military life – frequent relocation, separation from family and friends, and the stresses of deployment – can make military households an attractive target for scam artists. In fact, during 2012 the Federal Trade Commission logged more than 62,000 complaints from servicemembers, veterans, and spouses about their experiences in the marketplace.
That led the FTC and its partners to sponsor Military Consumer Protection Day on July 17, 2013. It's a great day to empower military and veteran communities with information as the first line of defense against consumer fraud.
Have you ever received an email from a business that asked you to respond with personal or financial information? Maybe even a text from a company that threatened to close your account if you didn't verify your identity? That smells phishy.
Join the FTC, Stop.Think.Connect., and others for a Twitter chat on phishing this Thursday, May 16 at 3:00 p.m. ET. Follow @FTC and use the hashtag #ChatSTC to join the conversation!

Quail, Large Capacity, Range Feeders
As land is cleared, natural food for wild birds is tougher to find. Consider that released birds have no clue how to look for food and there is an obvious issue.
This large capacity range feeder from GQF provides six feeder stations for increased feeding. It's the perfect low cost quail feeder to keep fresh food plentiful.
What about other animals? This feeder does protect feed from dogs, cattle, varmints, even weather!
Yes, the hood is weather proof and its unique shape protects feed from driving rain. The entire hood latches closed and removes easily for filling.
The feed capacity is large….two gallons. There is a 1 inch diameter steel tube in the ground that holds this feeder upright an slightly off the ground.

"I dig old books."
Est. 1998
Quotations about Pregnancy & Birth
Related Quotes Babies Breastfeeding Mothers Children Parents
I think that carrying a baby inside you is like running as fast as you can. It feels like finally letting go and filling yourself up to the wildest limits. ~Author unknown, quoted in Ourselves and Our Children: A Book by and for Parents by Boston Women's Health Book Collective, 1978
Birth matters. It brings us into being, on many levels. ~Ananda Lowe
Birth takes a woman's deepest fears about herself and show her that she is stronger than them. ~Author Unknown
In the moments of labor and birth, all the forces of the universe are flowing through a woman's body. ~Sandra K. MorningStar
Birth is as safe as life gets. ~Harriette Hartigan
The power and intensity of your contractions cannot be stronger than you, because it is you. ~Author Unknown
You are pregnant and you are powerful. You are bold and you are beautiful. Go forward in your boldness, in your beauty and in your connectedness. Trust your body to birth and know that the collective power of women worldwide will be with you. ~Author Unknown
Remember this, for it is as true as true gets: Your body is not a lemon. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a careless mechanic. Human female bodies have the same potential to give birth well as aardvarks, lions, rhinoceri, elephants, moose, and water buffalo. Even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body. ~Ina May Gaskin
Giving birth should be your greatest achievement not your greatest fear. ~Jane Weideman
In achieving the depersonalization of childbirth and at the same time solving the problem of pain, our society may have lost more than it has gained. We are left with the physical husk; the transcending significance has been drained away. In doing so, we have reached the goal which perhaps is implicit in all highly developed technological cultures, mechanized control of the human body and the complete obliteration of all disturbing sensation. ~Sheila Kitzinger, Women as Mothers
Childbirth provided the drama I craved, the thrill of peeking over the primal edge of creation, the rush of the unexpected. ~Peggy Vincent
Giving birth is not a matter of pushing, expelling the baby, but of yielding, surrendering to birth energy. ~Marie Reid
Natural childbirth has evolved to suit the species, and if mankind chooses to ignore her advice and interfere with her workings we must not complain about the consequences. We have only ourselves to blame. ~Margaret Jowitt
Many Western doctors hold the belief that we can improve everything, even natural childbirth in a healthy woman. This philosophy is the philosophy of people who think it deplorable that they were not consulted at the creation of Eve, because they would have done a better job. ~Gerrit-Jan Kloosterman
Midwives see birth as a miracle and only mess with it if there's a problem; doctors see birth as a problem and if they don't mess with it, it's a miracle! ~Barbara Harper
If we are to heal the planet, we must begin by healing birthing. ~Agnes Sallet Von Tannenberg
Labor is the closest a woman may ever be to the threshold between life and death while she is still very much alive. ~Anne Frye
The instant of birth is exquisite.
Pain and joy are one at this moment.
Ever after, the dim recollection is
so sweet that we speak to our children
with a gratitude they never understand.
We speak to our parents with a sorrow
unfamiliar until the day they are dying.
~Madeline Tiger, Birds of Sorrow and Joy
A strong intention, a relaxed body and an open mind are the main ingredients for an active birth. ~Janet Balaskas
Women's bodies have near-perfect knowledge of childbirth; it's when their brains get involved that things can go wrong. ~Peggy Vincent
Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers... strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength. ~Barbara Katz Rothman
The experience of birth is vast. It is a diverse tapestry woven by cultural customs, shaped in personal choices, affected by biological factors, marked by political circumstances. Yet the nature of birth itself prevails in elegant design of simple complexity. ~Harriette Hartigan
Pregnancy and birth knit womankind together. Help weave a gorgeous thread to add to the fabric. Be supportive. Be kind. Be wise. Be open. ~Desirre Andrews
Childbirth is an experience in a woman's life that holds the power to transform her forever. Passing through these powerful gates - in her own way - remembering all the generations of women who walk with her.... She is never alone. ~Suzanne Arms
We need nothing less than a revolution in our attitudes towards conception, pregnancy, birth and parenting. ~Sophie Style
For far too many, pregnancy and birth is still something that happens to them rather than something they set out consciously and joyfully to do themselves. ~Sheila Kitzinger, The Experience of Childbirth
The effort to separate the physical experience of childbirth from the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of this event has served to disempower and violate women. ~Mary Rucklos Hampton
We must understand that childbirth is fundamentally a spiritual, as well as a physical, achievement. The birth of a child is the ultimate perfection of human love. ~Grantly Dick-Read
Birth goes best if it is not intruded upon by strange people and strange events. It goes best when a woman feels safe enough and free enough to abandon herself to the process. ~Penny Armstrong and Sheryl Feldman, A Midwife's Story
VITA MUTARI - the literal translation from Latin to English is "Life Transformation." That is the closest thing I could think of the feeling of labor/birth... what you are feeling isn't pain, it's life transformation. Is it dramatic? You bet! I think it should be! ~Stephanie Soderblom
Birth is the epicenter of women's power. ~Ani DiFranco
Giving birth is a transformation and it doesn't matter whether you've had eight babies before. It's still a transformation the next time you have another baby, because you are no longer the same woman you were before you had that baby. ~Penny Handford, quoted in Mothering the New Mother by Sally Placksin
Birth is a mystery. Words are not enough. ~Marie O'Connor
[My mother's] feeling is, we were made to do this work, and it's not easy, and it's inherently painful.... Pain and pleasure are a continuum, and without the pain, there would not be the pleasure. We wouldn't have a place to slide around, and that this is just an intense experience of pain. It's also an intense experience of pleasure, and joy and hope.... I would say that the pain is part of the glory, or the tremendous mystery of life. And that if anything, it's kind of a privilege to stand so close to an incredible miracle. And that there's pain involved because it's such a tremendous event... it's like living in a different dimension briefly. And that it's a painful process, because it's like two worlds colliding. ~Simone Taylor, on childbirth, quoted in Blessed Events: Religion and Home Birth in America by Pamela E. Klassen, 2001
Women today not only possess genetic memory of birth from a thousand generations of women, but they are also assailed from every direction by information and misinformation about birth. ~Valerie El Halta
$13 to $20 billion a year could be saved in health care costs by demedicalizing childbirth, developing midwifery, and encouraging breastfeeding. ~Frank A. Oski
The experience profoundly changed my perspective. In the hospital, I hadn't perceived the anxiety and foreboding that permeated birth until I experienced the impact of its absence among the midwives. The peace, wonder, and intimacy were infinitely greater. What a compelling difference! ~Heidi Rinehart
People are giving birth underwater now. They say it's less traumatic for the baby because it's in water. But certainly more traumatic for the other people in the pool. ~Elayne Boosler
Childbirth was probably easier for most women in early cultures, especially in hunter-gatherer societies, where everyone was accustomed to physical labor and supple and fit from daily activity. ~Suzanne Arms
According to our Lamaze instructor that winter, my body was supposed to "self-anesthetize" during labor and delivery, allowing me to remain wholly alert for the miracle of birth. She assured our class of hefty, plural-bodied women that our cervix muscles would become "naturally numb" as they swelled and stretched, and deep breathing would turn the final explosions of pain into "manageable discomfort." This description turned out to be as accurate as, say, a steward advising passengers aboard the Titanic to prepare for a brisk but bracing swim. If my self-anesthesia took at all, it packed the power of two baby aspirin. ~Mary Kay Blakely, American Mom: Motherhood, Politics, and Humble Pie, 1995
Amnesia: The condition that enables a woman who has gone through labor to have sex again. ~Joyce Armor
If you want to know the feeling, just take your bottom lip and pull it over your head. ~Carol Burnett, about labor pain, quoted in Fatherhood by Bill Cosby
I realize why women die in childbirth — it's preferable. ~Sherry Glaser
The childbirth class neglected to teach you a critical skill. How to swear, breathe and count all at the same time. ~Linda Fiterman, From Colic to College: Chuckling Your Way Through Parenthood
I feel cheated never being able to know what it's like to get pregnant, carry a child and breastfeed. ~Dustin Hoffman
On the one hand, we'll never experience childbirth. On the other hand, we can open all our own jars. ~Bruce Willis
They say men can never experience the pain of childbirth. They can... if you hit them in the goolies with a cricket bat for fourteen hours. ~Jo Brand
I once heard two ladies going on and on about the pains of childbirth and how men don't seem to know what real pain is. I asked if either of them ever got themselves caught in a zipper. ~Emo Philips
A friend asked her doctor if a woman should have children after thirty-five. I said, "Thirty-five children is enough for any woman." ~Gracie Allen
Miscarriage, Stillbirth, Neonatal Death, Pregnancy Loss, Barrenness
Miscarriages are labor, miscarriages are birth. To consider them less dishonors the woman whose womb has held life, however briefly. ~Kathryn Miller Ridiman, Midwifery Today, 1997
Sweet little flower of heavenly birth
You were too fair to bloom on earth.
~Author Unknown
I fell in love with you when you were forming in my womb.
Now I carry you in my heart instead of my arms.
~Author Unknown
Blessed sister, beautiful one
with broken wings.
Your journey is a difficult one....
Breathe deeply and know that you are loved.
You are not alone,
though at times, you will feel like a
desolate island of grief....
You will go on...
Your wings will mend...
~Mary Burgess, "Mending Invisible Wings"
An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth,
Then whispered as she closed the book "too beautiful for earth."
~Author Unknown
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my tears to keep
My baby sleeps in Heaven's arms
Peaceful with angelic charms
Take my tears but grant me a kiss
From the angel baby I so miss.
~Author Unknown
Those who have lost an infant are never, as it were, without an infant child. Their other children grow into manhood and womanhood, and suffer all the changes of mortality; but this one alone is rendered an immortal child; for death has arrested it with its kindly harshness, and blessed it into an eternal image of youth and innocence. ~Author Unknown
Dear Lord, I would have loved to have held my babies on my lap and tell them about you, but since I didn't get the chance, would you please hold them on your lap and tell them about me? ~Author Unknown
The stricken mother, sitting by the side of the lifeless form of her first-born, will hear unmoved the words of consolation and the persuasions to resignation which are urged by one who has not suffered, even though he eloquently draw motives from the highest heaven; while the silent pressure of her hand by some humble creature who has hidden her treasure under the daisies, will inspire her with calmness and strength. ~Timothy Titcomb (J.G. Holland), Gold-foil
I lay my tasks down one by one;
I sit in the silence of twilight grace.
Out of the shadows, deep and dun,
Steals, like a star, my Baby's face.
I will take up my work once more,
As if I had never laid it down.
Who will dream that I ever wore,
In triumph, motherhood's sacred crown?
Nevertheless, the way is long,
And tears leap up in the light of the sun.
I'd give my world for a cradle-song,
And a kiss from Baby�only one.
~Mary Clemmer, "The Childless Mother"
I'm hurt, hurt and humiliated beyond endurance, seeing the wheat ripening, the fountains never ceasing to give water, the sheep bearing hundreds of lambs, the she-dogs, until it seems the whole country rises to show me its tender sleeping young while I feel two hammer-blows here instead of the mouth of my child. ~Federico Garcia Lorca, Yerma #barren #childless

NIGHT SHIFT stinks!
Thursday, February 21, 2008
I just can't seem to get around it that when I work night shift I go over calories for the day! I don't get much of a rest during the day before I go in, so I don't sleep through a meal. Also, I only work 2-3 nights a week usually, so I do feel hungry at the "normal" meal times. I've tried skipping breakfast or lunch and I felt ill all day. I've tried eating three meals with an extra filling healthy supper and I'm still hungry at about 2am. I work from 7pm-7am, and I have to be on my way to work by about 545pm at the lastest, and I don't get home until usually after 9am. I no longer feel that I need to run through mc donalds each morning after work, so I guess that's good, but I just don't know how to solve this problem. I didn't mention that I work at two different hospitals, and at one, the cafe is open all night so I can get fresh veggies, etc, if I want and I usually do, but at the other hospital, it's kind of a free for all and you munch on whatever's there unless you bring in something. it just seems like even when I make healthy choices, I go over calories. I would love any suggestions from any of you!
God bless us all!

This is a tough one! Although I don't work the night shift, I would suggest packing your meals with you. It will take some preparation from your part, but if you get in the habit of bringing enough food, drinks, and snacks w/ you, then maybe you won't be craving other things. As soon as you get your veggies home, pack them in little baggies....then you can just grab them and throw them in your lunch bag. That's been working for me.

I worked night for 3 years in the early 90's. I hated the hours but loved the work. I usually slept until noon and could not fall back asleep. I felt like I was watching life happen.

All I can tell you is what I do. I work full time 8 hour night shifts on Extended Care. The food issue is always a tough one...especially the munching part. Sometimes the junk that gets brought in is tough to turn down.
I make sure I bring enough food with me to work to last my shift...with lots of fruits and vegies. Remembering to eat protein at the meals. I always have water on the go with me...sometimes it isn't hunger, it's thirst....some girls munch all night to keep awake...
I have the best success when I faithfully use the nutrition tracking tool...

WARNING: This article contains spoilers for upcoming "Glee" episodes. Read at your own risk! Gleeks at large were thrilled to see the return of the show last night, Feb. 25, after the long winter hiatus. It's clear Rachel (Lea Michele) has been focusing on her "Funny Girl" role while coping with Finn's (Cory Monteith) death. Fans are wondering, though, if Rachel will ever find love again. According to a Feb. 25 TVLine report, "Glee" co-creator Brad Falchuk said, "We're really focused on her professionally right now. That's probably the best thing."
When pressed about whether Rachel could strike up a relationship with Sam (Chord Overstreet) after there seemed to be a small spark in a previous episode, Falchuk said, "There was a hint. I think there's something nice about those two, but not yet."
Sam will be one of the characters transitioning to the all New York story line because he decides to pursue modeling. Artie (Kevin McHale) will also be arriving in Brooklyn for film school and Blaine (Darren Criss) will make the jump to NYC to attend NYADA and be with his fiancé Kurt (Chris Colfer).
The idea of a new love for Rachel seems too soon to consider. Even seven months post Cory Monteith's death, the grief still seems so fresh across the "Glee" fandom. But, Lea Michele continues to receive tremendous social media support and is continually commended for her strength.
Lea is keeping busy with other non "Glee"-related projects including her debut solo album "Louder's" impending March 3 release and her first book "Brunette Ambition's" release on May 13.
When questioned herself about a new love for Rachel Lea Michele told TVLine, "I leave that all up to Ryan Murphy. He's in charge."
In the near future, Rachel will most likely be dealing with the fallout of her vicious fight with Santana (Naya Rivera) which prompted her to move out of the loft, leaving her Lima rival behind with her BFF Kurt. Boo hoo!
She's also going to have to learn to cope with facing Santana at rehearsals in each day with her being Rachel's understudy. Just how is that going to work, anyway?
In other "Glee" news, according to the report Will (Matthew Morrison) and Emma (Jayma Mays) will be expecting a baby and Sue (Jane Lynch) will finally succeed in her quest to disband New Directions.
We know the McKinley story line is going away. But, the thought of Sue winning and blowing apart New Directions is simply much too unbearably sad.
What do you think? Do you want Rachel to find love and if so, how do you feel about the possibility of her and Sam hooking up? And, will you be sad to see New Directions disband? Or, are you excited for an all New York story line? Sound off in the comments below!
"Glee" airs in Flint on WSMH FOX66 on Tuesdays at 8 pm ET. Click here for a local channel guide.

Having already released a bundle of three Margaret Wise Brown eBooks at the start of the month, Parragon, Inc. will release two new hardbacks in mid-April, followed by three more in August and December. Last month, I wrote about how Sterling Children's Books was able to publish the lullaby book Goodnight Songs sixty-two years after Margaret Wise Brown (1910-1952) died of an embolism while on a publicity tour in France.
Seemingly every American born in the last two generations has read (or had read to them) Goodnight Moon, written by Ms. Brown and illustrated by Clement G. Hurd (1908-1988). Approximately 24,000,000 copies of that book alone have sold since 1947.
Over 100 of Ms. Brown's children's books had been published by the time she died. She kept six publishers busy. This being the case, it is difficult to understand why her sister, Professor Roberta Brown Rauch, was unable to elicit interest from any publishers in the seventy-three unpublished manuscripts Margaret Wise Brown left behind.
Mrs. Rauch kept 500 typewritten manuscript pages in a cedar trunk until 1991, when Amy Gary, of Montevallo, Alabama-based WaterMark Inc., rekindled Professor Rauch's hope that some of her late sister's unpublished manuscripts might get published. Ms. Gary had approached Prof. Rauch about re-publication rights of Ms. Brown's out-of-print books when, after a six month delay, Ms. Gary's question if there were any unpublished manuscripts led Professor Rauch to show her the above-mentioned cedar trunk.
As reported by Suelain Moy in Entertainment Weekly in 1991, Ms. Gary had already had good luck in selling re-print rights to three of Ms. Brown's previously-published books to Hyperion Books for Children (an imprint of The Walt Disney Company's publishing arm). At the time, there was an expectation that sixty-seven books would be forthcoming because five of the manuscripts were unfinished.
A Parragon spokeswoman wrote me, "Amy [Gary] came across this treasure trove and has spent over 20 years editing the works from that trunk in the attic. Through her analysis of Margaret's works she has created a captivating portrait of the genius behind all those best-sellers for children. Margaret's ability to capture the enduring qualities of childhood is the reason why her books are still popular with children today. Amy's presentations combine the easy-to-learn techniques of Margaret's writing style and the story behind the fascinating life and legacy of the master of children's writing."
In 2011, Ms. Gary began to work with Parragon, Inc. She has been friends with Wendy Friedman, President of Parragon North & South America, for over twenty years.
"Parragon released Count to 10 with A Mouse in 2012, followed by ten Margaret Wise Brown titles in English, Spanish, and German," according to a press release. Over 1,200,000 copies have been sold in two years.
On Tuesday, April 1, 2014, Parragon's New York-based digital books division released a three-book bundle on iTunes, BN.com, and Kobobooks.com: the Margaret Wise Brown Bedtime Bundle. It is comprised of three of her eBooks with full audio: Goodnight Little One, Sleep Little Angel, and Sleep Tight, Sleepy Bears.
Parragon states it "enhances the digital editions of its Margaret Wise Brown titles with 'Read-Along' audio. Parents can read to their children or listen to the audio narration of the classic bedtime stories together with their little ones."
On Friday, April 18, 2014 (Good Friday), Parragon Books will, as stated in the press release, publish "two more print titles and an omnibus digital book" continuing "the tradition and legend that is Margaret Wise Brown." These titles are Wish Upon a Dream (I.S.B.N. 978-¬1-¬4723-¬4531-¬8) and The Good Little Bad Little Pig (I.S.B.N. 978-¬1-4723¬-4530¬-1).
Parragon states, "Wish Upon a Dream, a beautiful journey into the world of dreams…is lavishly illustrated by Charlotte Cooke." It "allows children to explore a magical bedtime world of favorite dreams as they fall asleep."
The company also states, "The Good Little Bad Little Pig is delightfully illustrated by Loretta Schauer and tells the story of Peter who wants a perfect little pig for a pet."
Wish upon a Dream is also available for iTunes, Nook, and Kobo readers as an eBook on April 18th, while the digital version of The Good Little Bad Little Pig will be available this December.
Both books are thirty-two pages, hardback. These two are the first of five Margaret Wise Brown titles Parragon is publishing this year. All five have a list price of $7.99.
Jingle Paws (I.S.B.N. 978-¬-1-¬-4723-¬-5064-¬-0) will be available Friday, August 8, 2014, and has a list price of $7.99. The fourth and fifth titles will be available Friday, December 19, 2014, in time for Christmas: The Noon Balloon (I.S.B.N. 978-¬1-¬4723-¬6716-¬7) and One More Rabbit (I.S.B.N. 978-¬1-¬4723-¬6717-¬4).
Founded over twenty years ago to supply books for British supermarkets, by the turn of the century, Parragon was the largest supplier of books to supermarkets in the U.K. This inspired by the privately-held Scottish media company D.C. Thomson to acquire the firm and expand its operations overseas.
Parragon states, "We focus on illustrated, non-author driven, non-fiction books. Our books are of the highest quality while still maintaining mainstream accessibility. We don't publish books just because a trendy author pens them; we publish books that offer unbelievable value both in terms of content and quality."
Our main publishing areas are cookbooks, adult non-fiction, children's books and licensed character books. Within these publishing areas we publish under our own Parragon brand; under in-house brands such as Love Food™ or Goldstars™; or under retailers' own proprietary brands. We create books for beloved characters such as Disney, Dora the Explorer, Ben 10, Discovery Kids, Power Rangers, Barbie, Sesame Street and Marvel…
From working with local book stores to supermarkets, online retailers and gift stores, we ensure our books are as accessible and easy to find as possible. Wherever you may be around the globe, there's always a Parragon book to inspire or entertain.
We are proud to work with many of the world's best known retailers including Barnes & Noble, Marks & Spencer, TJ Maxx, KIK, Indigo, Wal-mart, Target, Tesco, J Sainsbury, Metro, Coles Group, Tata, Reliance, Waterstones, WH Smith, Argos, The Works, Karstadt, Amazon and Apple.
Headquartered in Bath, England, Parragon has offices in New York City (covering North and South America); Cologne, Germany (covering Continental Europe); Dehli, India (covering Near East Asia and South Asia); Australia (covering Australasia and Africa); and Singapore and Hong Kong (covering Far East Asia). The company also has sub-offices in Denmark, Holland, South Africa, and New Zealand.
Parragon publishes 2,000 titles per year in twenty-six languages. The company states it is "the largest illustrated non-fiction publisher in the world."

ORONO, Maine -- University of Maine men's ice hockey senior captain Mark Nemec (Rouses Point, N.Y.) was named one of the 20 official candidates for the Senior CLASS Award. A national selection committee will narrow the group to 10 finalists, which will be announced in February.
The award honors seniors who are committed to staying in school and portraying the values of community, classroom, character and competition. Nemec possesses all of these attributes.
In the classroom, Nemec received his Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering in May of 2012. He is now pursuing a double major in management. A Dean's List student, Nemec has been named a three-time Maine Scholar-Athlete Award winner and named to the Hockey East Academic All-Star Team.
A recruited walk-on, Nemec was selected captain of the Black Bears prior to his senior season. He sat out his freshman season as a redshirt. Last season, he was named the co-recipient of the team's Unsung Hero Award, at the end of the year team banquet.
Nemec is active along with his teammates in various community service activities. Last season, he spent time at Eastern Maine Medical Center visiting children with serious medical conditions. He was the team's top-finisher one year in the Race for the Cure to benefit cancer research. He has also participated in benefit softball games for Special Olympics and various other charities.
On the ice, Nemec is one of Maine's top defensemen. He has played in 110 career games, second most of the Maine team. He is one of Maine's top penalty killers and shot blockers.
Nemec was one of just two student-athletes from Hockey East named in the initial pool of candidates. He joins New Hampshire's Connor Hardowa.
The Senior Class Award will be announced at the 2013 Frozen Four, which will be held April 11 and 13 in Pittsburgh, Pa.]

Regents praise, approve Flagship 2030
CU-Boulder launched into a new era of education and innovation
By Dave Curtin, assistant director of Executive Communications
Flagship 2030, CU-Boulder's strategic plan that charts its course for the 21st century, was both praised and approved by the CU Board of Regents on Nov. 29.
The unanimous endorsement by the regents moves the plan from vision to reality. Behind the leadership of Chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson, Flagship 2030: Serving Colorado, Engaged in the World, was a year in the making but is expected to transform the university for decades.
The road map of educational innovations for preparing the campus and its students for a rapidly changing global marketplace was designed by faculty, students, staff and alumni and praised by the regents and CU President Hank Brown.
"It's an exciting plan," said Regent Stephen Ludwig of Aurora."This is a great service to the institution and to the state."
"I am gratified by the vision, hard work and determination to arrive at a strategic plan as unique as CU's long history and one that so integrally involved the public as a working partner," said Brown.
The plan includes feedback from hundreds of stakeholders inside and outside CU-Boulder and incorporates the ideas of leaders from 16 communities across the state. Contributions can be viewed on the Resources page of the Flagship 2030 website.
Flagship 2030 is highlighted by eight core initiatives that keep the state's flagship competitive as one of nation's top 34 national comprehensive public universities and by 10 flagship initiatives that prepare the CU-Boulder and its students to serve society well into the 21st century.
"The balance of these two sets of initiatives is the hallmark of the plan," said Peterson. "Our core initiatives will keep us focused and accountable for years to come, while our flagship initiatives will force us to commit to innovation for decades to come in serving Colorado, the nation and the world."
The initiatives broaden the boundaries of education and include customized learning in an undergraduate academy, incorporating experiential learning into the required curriculum, creating alternative degree tracks, expanded partnerships with other research universities and labs, year-round learning within a three-semester calendar and a new center for global education.
The campus will begin implementing the plan next month with the formation of nine task forces charged with developing action plans for the 18 initiatives that are the foundation of Flagship 2030. They will be implemented as they are developed and financed. The task forces will be composed of wide-ranging university community members.
"The Flagship 2030 document is not an end but a beginning," said Peterson. "Our strategic plan is our pathway to the future and is at the center of who we are and all that we are to become."
Peterson stressed to the regents that the plan—and the work of the 54-member planning committee—"will not end up on a shelf or buried in cyberspace."
The plan was amended during the regents' meeting to include the suggestion of Regent Vice Chair Tom Lucero of Johnstown to include academic and experiential learning opportunities in the American principles of self-government and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship as part of a core initiative on learning for a diverse world.
Peterson noted that questions and comments can be submitted on the Flagship 2030 website as the plan continues to evolve and develop.

We know some of you will see this and go, "Oh. My. God. Becky. Look at that glass. It is so trashy." But while you sip your lo-cal appletinis, we will be throwing back bourbon (or just some good ol' box wine) out of the The Original RedNek Wine Glass ($10) and having the last laugh. We also recommend going straight for these instead of mason jars if you're looking into trying out canning, because when you throw in the towel, you can just let all that fruit ferment and drink it straight from the source. Mmmm.

Please vote for the one you like best, they are both great options, but if you need any help deciding, just go with number one. *wink, wink*
Now I'm going to look for my mind, because I'm pretty sure I lost it when I first saw this on facebook! LOL

Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
Tulane 36, East Carolina 33 (3 OT)
Tulane Game 7
Mercedes-Benz Superdome
New Orleans, La.
Head Coach Curtis Johnson
Opening statement
"You know what, I told them I would give them the week off, and I really want to practice. But I told them that if they won the game they would get the week off, and all of a sudden, we won. I have to stick to my word, I'm a man of my word; I told them that anything goes, if they miss one class I'm just going to call them all in and roll them. It's a great victory, I just have to take my hats off to these coaches, whatever we are paying them we aren't paying them enough. They just keep these guys together; we lost our quarterback (Nick Montana), we lost our running back (Orleans Darkwa), we lost Chris Taylor, it was just one after another; we ended up having a mash unit by the end of this game. We got the momentum, we lost the momentum, and these coaches just kept these guys together; all of a sudden we are in a battle in overtime and we just kept plugging away. Our kicker is sensational; we have the best kicker in the country."
On lining up for the field goal on the first play of third overtime
"Absolutely. Without a doubt I set up for the field goal on the first play, because when you have the best kicker in the nation, that's what you do. I don't want to run a play, I don't want to do anything but make the kick and come in here and visit with you guys."
On Devin Powell coming alive in overtime
"We wanted to play a complimentary football game, all week long we talked about complimentary, we didn't want to start getting into a throw fest to put the pressure on this kid, we wanted to keep things at 3rd and short, and he made some and he missed some, but we just wanted to continue to play it close all game long. All of a sudden, the assistant coaches knew this, Devin Powell began to understand what we wanted to do, he began to do it, and he just played lights out in overtime."
On Ryan Grant's two touchdowns in the overtime periods
"He's playing well, he's really our leader; I was getting called a bad coach because he didn't get a touch, but all of sudden, Powell found him. We continued to throw and he continued to make plays, I just thought those guys played fabulous."
On the performance of the defense
"Our defense was amazing all night long. This defense has been playing well all season; we didn't play that well in a half against South Alabama and at all against Syracuse, but every quarter this defense has been playing lights out. We have great players over there, they are keeping us in the games, and they are taking games over like they did today."
On continuing to get opportunities to win games like this
"You just want to accelerate this learning curve, this team is a young team, most of these guys will be back for another two years, and you just want to accelerate it and accelerate it, but sometimes you have to take it slower and go through some growing pains, and today we did go through some of those, but we still came out on top. Ruffin McNeill does a great job with that team (ECU), that team put 55 points up on North Carolina. They didn't score a touchdown for most of the game against our defense, so this team (Tulane) is very good, our defense is very good, but that team (ECU) can score with the best of them. We controlled the clock, time of possession, we didn't just run up and down the field on them; we just played a great game and the coaches did a sensational job."
On this game being a benchmark
"I don't think it's that, I think it's just another game that we showed that we can come out and play well. When you say what's the benchmark, I think you have to look back at the season as we get going. When this season is over, with whatever it is we do, we'll look back and say that that was the turning point, but right now, we have a week off, we have to breathe a little bit, and we have to get some guys healthy."
On when he knew Nick Montana would not play
"I didn't think Nick was going to play after Syracuse, because he was just taking so many poundings, and I knew it would come to this point that we would have to sit him sooner or later. Part of the reason we haven't been throwing so much is because this kid has been getting killed, so this was it, enough was enough, I didn't want the police to come and arrest me for child abuse, so I had to sit him."
On Montana's injury
"It's his shoulder, his shoulder and everything else. If you see him walking, you'd think he was older than me. He needs a week of rest. We think that he will be ready for Tulsa."
On using Devin Powell in such a huge game
"Our motto is `Next Man Up'. It doesn't matter who it is, one of the things with this program is next man up. Those guys practice like they are ready to play every week."
On the play of Derrick Strozier
"He played fantastic. I don't know if this was his best game, since he did this two weeks in a row, because now I'm starting to expect it. He's playing well. I thought that his interception was the turning point in this game. However, to ECU's credit, Ruffin does a great job of fighting; they just kept coming back at us. They had three chances to quit and they never did."
On East Carolina's Warren Harvey missing the potential game-winner at the end of regulation
"My only thought on that was should I use my timeout, because I did the previous times and it didn't work out so well. Look, it's just a blessing to have Cairo, because I put him in bad positions sometimes, I expect him to make every 50 yard field goal, and no kicker is going to do that, and when you have 42 yard field goals like he did today, those are a walk in the park. I trust him a lot."
Senior PK Cairo Santos
On the emotion related to kicking the game winning field goal again
"As a kicker, you always like the games that you kick a lot and it was actually a lot of fun going out there. If it came down to me, I just want to win for my team and I did it for them. They did a hell of a job throughout the whole game, offense, and defense. Devin Powell really stepped up and won the game. I really liked that I had the opportunity to help my team out."
On hitting game-winning field goals in consecutive weeks
"Like I said, it's something that you dream of as a kid, but not this way. Not back to back. Five field goals and three overtimes... It's really living the dream."
Redshirt-Freshman QB Devin Powell
On how the game unfolded and your first start since last year
"I stayed calm in the pocket and listened to my coaches, Coach CJ, everybody. I just kept calm and played the game."
On his touchdown passes in overtime
"It was great. The coaches were calling it from the sideline. The coaches said to make your read and I listened to what they said and I put the ball up how I could do it."
On getting more comfortable as the game went on
"Yeah, I really did. I started feeling everybody and getting a great flow of the game. I did what I had to do."
On if he felt added pressure when the game went into overtime
"No, I didn't have any pressures. I just kept calm. I listened to my quarter back coach over the phone, kept calm. They told me I might have to go OT, that I need to keep calm, keep my level down, my composure. I just listened to the coach."
Senior DB Derrick Strozier
On his 99-yard interception return
"I was just looking to do whatever I could to try and get this team a win. In defense we tried to make some crucial plays, to help get the offense and the team going. And that was one of them."
On the defense being on the field for 90 plays
"We've been preparing for that type of tempo offense all week and all that preparation has paid off."
On the pressure of playing in overtime
"In OT, we were just looking to get the job done, whatever we could. I didn't care what happened, as long as we got the job done, as long as we got the win, we didn't have anything else to worry about."
Senior WR Ryan Grant
On his two touchdowns in overtime
"I knew I had to go down there and make those big plays for the team for us to come out with a victory. Powell threw some good balls tonight and I made the plays. Collectively, as a team, we played really well out there tonight."
On the performance of Devin Powell
"He played outstanding tonight. My hat goes off for Powell. He hasn't played in many games and he played really well tonight. I'm really proud of him."
On being 3-0 in Conference USA
"It feels amazing. I haven't felt like this since high school. It's awesome. I love being around these guys and I love the program, the coaches. Everything about Tulane right now is awesome."
Head Coach Ruffin McNeill
On forcing overtime
"That was a tough loss. The kids are taking it pretty hard. There were a lot of opportunities before overtime. I was proud how we fell down by ten points and fought back. I thought we made some good decisions to give us a chance to win in the end. You have to make plays and we came up short. But, I like the way the kids kept fighting."
On settling for field goals
"That is just part of the strategy. We would like to get touchdowns. But, you at least want to finish the drive with a kick, whether it is an extra point, a field goal, or a punt. We want to finish a drive with anything other than a turnover."
On what he said to his players
"No one person, no one group ever wins or loses a ballgame. The 24 hour rule is in effect. Our goal is still in front of us. We have to prepare for Southern Miss at home and the next three conference games. We will start getting ready for tomorrow night. We will evaluate film, make corrections, and move on."
On the play of Shane Carden
"On Mondays, when I give my press conference, I give a detailed description of the team that we are playing. We knew coming into the game that CJ had an experienced defense coming back, and they played that way. They got experience on the back end. They are able to blend coverages and blitzes. So, we knew we were facing a tough defense. They are not top in the nation in turnovers for nothing. Shane (Carden) kept his head up and kept fighting. He did what we asked him to do. We will keep fighting. The season is not over. That was one thing that I told them in the locker room. We have a lot of games left and Pirate Nation needs to think the same way. We have a lot of time left. That's where our mindset is."
QB Shane Carden
On the issues with the offense early in the game
"They were showing us some different looks and we were worried too much about what they were showing us and not just lining up and playing football. We were making corrections on the sideline, but to a point you got to just line up and play. We were letting what they were doing affect us a little too much. We were playing a little clutter minded and not clear minded how we normally like to play. We were not playing at a fast pace like we normally like to."
On what changed as the game went on
"We just started trusting it more and started playing faster and clear minded, understanding what they were doing and going back to the normal reads as a quarterback, wide receiver, running back. I think we did a lot better. I was very glad to see our offense step up. That fourth quarter we were fighting. We fought back and had some opportunities to win the game and I'm proud of our team for that."
On the use of screens during the game
"Little screens worked here and there. Also, the offensive line giving me a little more time to check down to the running back. They played pretty well and played up on our receivers. A couple times they weren't open and the running back did I good job of working themselves open."
On talking to Warren Harvey after he had a hard game
"I will just tell him that it is absolutely not his fault that we lost the game. We had plenty of opportunities. I had one terrible read and through that cost us a 14-point swing. It is never just one man, especially in football. We had plenty of opportunities to win. I understand he is going to be down but we are going to learn from this game and be ready for Southern Miss."
WR Justin Hardy
On getting back into the game and having a chance to win it at the end
"We can do a lot more things better on all three sides of the ball and the outcome would be a whole lot different.
On the slow start hurting the team
"It hurt a lot. We are big on starting fast and getting the offense going and helping the defense out. The slow start today hurts a lot."
On if his career day will stick in his memory
"Naw, we lost."
