Just My Thoughts and Observations
From over 35 years of Working with TEXAS LONGHORN
As we get started into the new year one can't help but to look to the future and wonder what is in store in the days, weeks and months to come. However, one also can't help but to reflect on the past years of life and the memories created over those years, both good and bad. One can also find themselves thinking of the changes that have come about over the years that have passed. I find it hard to realize that this June of 2015 will mark my thirty fifth year of being involved with the Texas Longhorn Breed. It was at the young age of 12 years old that I developed my passion for this wonderful and majestic breed. That passion still burns deep within me today and I couldn't image myself without Longhorns in my life. God has blessed me with the ability to work with these great cattle as a way of make a living. God not only blessed me with being able to work with a breed of cattle that I love but in the process, He has blessed me with many wonderful friends. All I can say is it has been an awesome journey! As I reflect on the 35 years I have spent with this breed, I thought it might be fun to share a little of that history with some of our new Texas Longhorn Breeders.
Over my 35 years of working with Longhorns I have accumulated a pretty large collection of Longhorn magazines and sale catalogs. On rainy and dreary days I sometimes enjoy going through my collection and reflecting on the history that I have had the honor of witnessing in the breed. I thought it would be nice to give the new breeders and those interested in the breeds history a chance to see where this breed has come from I have attached a PDF file (COMING SOON) of a sale catalog from 31 years ago. The Nacogdoches Texas Longhorn Sale was one of only a few Texas Longhorn sales in existence in the 1980's. This sale drew in sellers and buyers from all across the United States. The interest in the cattle was high and the numbers of registered Texas Longhorn cattle were very low. As you look through this catalog, you will notice that there are a few names that you will be familiar with and others that you will not know or may have only heard mentioned by another long time breeder. A lot of Texas Longhorn breeders, Longhorn enthusiast, collectors and hobbyist that have come before us. Some had a major impact on the breed while others just simply enjoyed the breed and had little too no long term impact on the breed. Some of the cattle in this catalog can be found in the pedigrees of today's cattle, like Magic Marker. He is in the pedigree of two 80" horn bulls. Who are they? Any Guesses?
You will also notice a change in the quality of the cattle. Some will be quick to say "we have sure improved the breed in 30 plus years". But have we really improved the breed? I think the answer is both yes and no. I think we have made progress in the Longhorn breed in regards to beneficial traits of conformation, size and milk production. In my opinion these improvements are due in part to genetic selection and better herd management practices with better nutrition. We have also seen an "improvement", if you want to call it that, in the less important traits of horn length and hair coat color. These are for the most part, non-functional traits and have little to no benefit to the animal. All these improvements seem to have had little effect on the over physical characteristics (phenotype) of the breed. The phenotype (the visible and physical characteristics of an organism resulting from the interaction between its genetic makeup and the environment) has remained basically unchanged. The traits of horn length and hair color and there "improvements" have more to do with improving the animals eye appeal to prospective buyers or collectors. Any or all of these trait "improvements" can become harmful to the breed when taken to the extreme or becomes the sole focus of the breeder or breed.

We were completely smitten with Zachary Quinto from the first moment that we saw him playing the evil superhero Sylar on the show Heroes. Perhaps it's his dark looks, or his manly appeal, but Zach is one fine specimen of man. This weekend he hit the big screen in the movie Star Trek. Although we haven't seen it yet we know we're going to swoon the minute we see him with those Vulcan ears. Just the idea of something pointy on his body gets our hearts racing.
Zachary's sexuality has been a huge point of contention in the blogoshpere, but this may have arisen from the fact that he played a gay character in Tori Spelling's show in which he had a kissing scene with a guy. We can't say that we believe the rumors, but we'd love for them to be true. People swear up and down that they can see some gay mannerisms when he's doing interviews, but we think that's just wishful thinking.
Zachary isn't the only hottie in the new Star Trek movie. His co-star Chris Pine, who plays Captain Kirk, is also lighting up the big screen in a similar fashion. Chris was recently caught jogging with his shirt off. It's just a matter of time before these two end up making out. Might we suggest in the next Star Trek movie? Perhaps they could go to a planet where the air makes them gay. We can only hope!

ITS Services Status
Outbound e-mail is functioning normally.
As of 4:44 p.m., the e-mail backlogs have been cleared. ITS mail services are now delivering e-mail to all external domains in a timely manner.
The major external mail services appear not to have classified e-mail from ITS mail services as spam. However, if you sent a message to an external domain after 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 6, and have not received an expected response by Monday morning, consider resending the e-mail message.
ITS is continuing to monitor the situation and will re-evaluate on Monday, November 10.
Outbound e-mail is being delivered to most domains, including Gmail and Yahoo. Delivery of e-mail to AOL remains slow. ITS is continuing to monitor the situation.
In the afternoon on Thursday, November 6, 2008, ITS mail services began experiencing problems with delivery of e-mail to Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and other domains. Outbound e-mail messages might have been delayed, undelivered, or identified as spam. ITS staff have identified the cause of the issue and are working to resolve the issue.
All services that relay their outbound mail via outbound.mail.utexas.edu are affected. This includes UMBS, AEMS, UTS, UTlists, the mail handlers for @its.utexas.edu, and almost every other ITS-managed mail service. Devices like scan-to-email devices that use relay.mail.utexas.edu are also affected because they use the same underlying hardware. Mail inbound from the Internet is not directly affected, since that is handled by separate hardware.

Contrary to its popular jingles of avoiding skin contacts among other Dos and Don'ts, officials at the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare are expected to join the main opposition, the Congress for Democratic Change or CDC for an Ebola walk on Monday.
Though CDC officials say the walk is to create Ebola awareness, it is unclear how effective such awareness will be. The walk dubbed. Walk for Life, the party said it is in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and landline ministries along with the House of Representatives and the Liberian Senate.
Speaking to the NewDawn Thursday at the party's headquarter, its Vice Chairman Mr. Mulbah Morlu said the march is intended to kick Ebola out of Liberia and that it has no political intents. "Only to help Liberians understand the negative effect its impact has on the lives of the people.
The march is expected to commence from the Health Ministry in Congo Town onward to Broad Street and streets in Monrovia following speeches from Health Minister, Dr. Walter Gwanigale, official representations of the Liberian Legislature.
It could be recalled that the Senate recently voted overwhelmingly, urging President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to declare a state of emergency and that US$1.5 Million be made available immediately aide the fight against Ebola.
Dr. Peter Coleman, who is the Senate Chairman on Health, Dr. Peter Coleman said over 100 people are believed to have died from the virus here. Several of the deaths were confirmed by tests to be Ebola, he said. The virus, which causes severe bleeding and high fevers, has continued to ravage neighboring Guinea and has also spread to Sierra Leone.
"The first phase of the epidemic was contained," said Dr. Coleman. "But because of the proximity to Guinea and Sierra Leone, we did not declare outbreak over."
One of the seven deaths was a woman who had recently traveled from an infected area in Sierra Leone and is believed to have passed the disease on to others in the house where she was staying in Monrovia.
Fear of the disease, which has no known cure, appears to have helped its spread. There have been several reports of relatives taking sick loved ones out of isolation wards, making the work of stopping the disease's spread harder.
The outbreak appears to have begun in neighboring Guinea, where the vast majority of the cases and deaths have been recorded. In all, the World Health Organization says nearly 250 people have died of the virus.

Hi everyone,
I was searching this forum for any discussion of unique and creative wedding ideas that INFP's have had. I was VERY surprised to find ZERO discussion on the topic. so much for us being amazing romantics and all...
I'm interested because I'm hoping to get married in the near future to my wonderful bf, and there is so much about the wedding "Machine" that makes me mad! -it's so plastic and contrived. I hate it.
But at the same time I know there must be creative/unique ways to make the occassion special for us and all who come that don't come with an exorbitant price tag!! :-P and "icky" consumeristic feel.
There must be pleanty of stories of unique wedding ceremony's and receptions amoungs the INFP community - I mean, creative expression is one of our favored gifts! :-)
So I was wondering if you have a story to share?

Nick Cannon is enjoying his marriage to pop diva Mariah Carey. The 33-year-old "America's Got Talent" host told Us Weekly in an interview published on Jan. 10 about just what keeps the spark alive in his marriage, especially with raising kids.
Cannon to Us Weekly that the secret for his successful marriage of five years has been something very enjoyable and also a key ingredient for any marriage in his opinion and that is "lots of sex."
He also said that family vacation was also key to keeping his marriage to Carey. The happy couple recently took their 2-year-old twins on a vacation and Aspen, which was "wonderful" said Cannon, be he was quick to clarify that he doesn't need a vacation to keep him happy.
"I tell everybody that my vocation is my vacation. It doesn't seem like work. Not like where you come home your feet hurt, you've been out in the hot sun...that's work. I get to get up and be creative."
The creativity of the Hollywood couple is not something that is expected to wear thin anytime soon. Nick Cannon is very busy hosting "America's Got Talent" and Mariah Carey is always making new music. So with raising twins who are almost three, it is even more impressive that the two find the time to do what keeps their marriage striving. Tons of sex.
A relationship advice show may be in the future for Mr. Cannon.

The Good: Keeps the chain on your ring, most of the time! Installation is easy.
The Bad: The steel backplate. For serious riding you should opt for the more expensive version with the aluminum backplate. The steel one is not stiff enough. When you hit sth with the guide it tends to fley so much that everything gets out of shape.
Overall: This chainguide is good value if you are on a budget. I changed the backplate for an aluminum one and it works so much better in rough times.

So after losing Franken Tiki 1 to the dreaded mold making experience. I went ahead and made Franken Tiki 2.0.
Franken mug one was destroyed because I tried to make a 2 part mold using rigid materials when apparently im supposed to make a soft mold first then a hard mold. Still learning. hope this round goes better.
He's already for the mold making process. Which i will document with pics as best I can.
Update: After some failed mold making attempts I decided to just paint the guy and look for a ceramic studio to recreate the mug. I have talked to one already but plan on talking to a few to see about him getting mass produced. This version will probably not look entirely like the produced one as it will be glazed and the weird splotching on the back from the stupid sealer wont be there. I hate sealers…its always the last thing that needs to happen to a piece but always seems to mess things up.
did you make the mug – do you have it for sale?

You have interest from controversy, an all-star cast, and Hollywood finally making a serious attempt to make a religious movie. You have the ingredients of a potential blockbuster.
"Noah" opens Friday, March 28th, a film that is a Genesis account of the catastrophic global flood documented in the Torah and Bible.
Academy award winner Russell Crowe stars in the role of Noah along with perennial bad guy Anthony Hopkins as the antagonistic consummate representation of evil that brought the judgment of God upon a violent world.
As with the "Passion of the Christ" released ten years ago, Noah is also being scrutinized by an international community, particularly the countries with a Muslim influence. Some have banned the distribution of "Noah" before knowing much more than it is a Jewish-Christian account of the Great Flood.
As with other authentic controversy, it will only serve to drive interest and have an international appeal as Mel Gibson's epic film "Passion of the Christ" which detailed the crucifixion of Christ which totaled over a half a billion dollars in world-wide receipts. "Noah" has the pull to consolidate interest not only in the major religions, but with those with no religious affiliation who are curious about the religious account of the Flood.
Reaction has been mixed from those already critical that there may be an attempt by the director to make Noah an environmentalist. Although Hollywood typically uses great liberty in presenting its own agenda in religiously themed movies the past 50-years, the movie "Noah" has more of a flavor towards the Hollywood spectacles of the golden age of movies where epics as "Ben Hurr" and "The Exodus" were presented with respect towards religious values.http://theweek.com/article/index/256863/hollywoods-real-problem-with-religion
Suspicion and caution are being conveyed by many Christians concerning "Noah" who hope that there is an accurately portrayed religious presentation of the film which does not stray too far from the record in the Holy Scriptures. Hollywood religious themed movies typically presented religious leaders in an extremely negative light.http://www.examiner.com/article/is-hollywood-finally-waking-up-to-the-christian-market
Trailers on "Noah" appear to be promising to stick to the Biblical account with scenes as the fountains of the deep being broken up to contribute to the world wide flood. The mass of animals depicted demonstrates there is an attempt to reflect the Genesis account of far more creatures of each type boarding on the ark than the standard story line of only one male and one female creature erroneously stipulated in other accounts of Noah's ark. Clean animals by sevens and its mate means a lot more than the standard two.
It will be fascinating for other students of the scriptures to see what other aspects of the movie that stay true to the story of Noah.

The fans of Dancing With the Stars might be looking at a big surprise on Monday night. Week 3 of the popular reality show is revealing a very personal theme and there are reports a big surprise reunion is on the way too. According to Wet Paint on Monday, Candace Cameron Bure is apparently tapping into her Full House days as DJ Tanner for her dance routing on "Most Memorable Year" and she has invited a few cast members from the show.
While the idea of having a big cast reunion on the show is quite exciting, it might not be everyone who sits in the audience to watch the star perform. Fans are really hoping that a few of the former cast members of Full House be in the audience which could include Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier and John Stamos. Apparently the invitations have been extended so who shows up on Monday night will be interesting.
While the excitement is gradually gaining up for the return of Dancing With the Stars on Monday night, there is a little sadness in the air too. Someone will end up taking off their dancing shoes and leave the ballroom. Who that might be will be revealed on Monday night and it is always such a sad moment on the show.
Dancing With the Stars offers more competition on Monday night starting at 8 p.m. ET.

"Authentic Movement explores the relationship between a mover and a witness, being seen and seeing. With eyes closed, the mover listens inwardly and finds a movement arising from a hidden prompting, a cellular impulse. Gradually the invisible becomes visible, the inaudible becomes audible, and explicit form is given to the content of direct experience.
The witness brings a receptive quality of clear attention to the mover. The witness is mindful of the inner world of sensation and meaning, judgment and criticism. Though personal shadow issues may emerge, the witness accepts the mover without analysis or direction and speaks only when the mover asks for a response. The mover and witness together can achieve a level of perception of self and other that evokes deep respect and empathy."

On my dual boot laptop I noticed that maximum brightness in Ubuntu and Windows 8 is totally different. In Windows 8 the screen is much much brighter at maximum level than it is at Ubuntu maximum level. (I was even asked why my laptop display looks that dim.)
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad E330 Laptop with Intel HD 4000 graphics.
How can I increase the maximum brightness level Ubuntu uses?

From Joanne Mattera Art Blog:
"For "Geometrics II," curator Gloria Klein selected 12 artists from the Geoform website. Geoform is a fabulous online resource dedicated to abstract geometric art maintained by Julie Karabenick. Gloria and Julie are two of the 12 artists in the show. The others are Steven Alexander, Laura Battle, Mark Dagley, Julie Gross, Michael Knutson, Bruce Pollock, Lynda Ray, Larry Spaid, Lorien Suarez and me. I'm not sure what drove Gloria's selections--because the work ranges from hard edged and mathematically inspired to intuitive and more organically developed, and from maximal to minimal--but you can see from the installation that it works. All the paintings are modest in size, in keeping with the gallery's modest (well, shoebox) proportions. Given the economic downturn, there was something comforting about the scale, though at one point artists and friends were packed in pretty much check by jowl." Read more.

shAROn stiLEs
sharon stiles, executive director of sterling
house shelby, a Brookdale senior Living
community in shelby, north Carolina,
doesn't think of her job as work.
"it's a blessing," stiles says. "i lovecoming in every day … i love the residentsand making them happy."stiles has worked in senior living for 36years, and in her more than six years withsterling house, has created numerousresident programs.
to encourage seniors to feel more
comfortable with technology, stiles started
heart to heart Connections—a skype
program for residents, who can chat with
their loved ones who don't live nearby.
stiles has also fulfilled some of her
residents' dreams through brookdale's
Wish of a Lifetime program. After surveying
the residents about what they'd like to do,
stiles helps make their wishes a reality.
One 90-year-old resident piloted a plane.
Another made Krispy Kreme doughnuts. two
residents traveled to Atlanta and visited the
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.
Lindsey Albrecht, life enrichment
coordinator of sterling house shelby,
nominated stiles for the ALfA hero award.
Albrecht says stiles is truly dedicated to
her residents and improving the entire
community—and no detail is too small for
stiles, who will take time out of her day to
hold the hands of residents who need it.
"You don't see many executive directors
helping in the kitchen or with housekeeping.
she does it all because she puts the
residents first," Albrecht says.
Although appreciative of the recognition,
stiles said she doesn't see herself as a hero.
"i really don't see myself as a hero as
much as being dedicated to making a
difference in the lives of the residents that
i serve," stiles says. "it's an honor to serve
these residents."
ALfA hero sharon stiles, pictured with ALfA Chairman Mark
Ohlendorf (left) and ALfA President and CEO Rick Grimes.
Kentucky state Rep. Susan Westrom
was honored with the 2011 ALFA
Statesman Award. Westrom, a tireless
supporter for senior living, helped guide
Kentucky House Bill 444 to passage,
updating the state's assisted living
regulations to include resident access to
hospice and medication assistance.
ALFA also spotlighted severalstandout entrants from its first annualShort Film Competition. The winningshort film, Mind the Gap, was createdby 26-year-old Chapman Universitystudent Jon Byron as a tribute to hisrelationship with his own grandfather.Mind the Gap (online at www.alfa.org/ageism) powerfully illustrates the mis-more Hero profiles will appear in futureissues of Assisted Living Executive.
Also during the 2011 conference, Mark
Ohlendorf, co-president and chief financial officer of Brookdale senior Living,
took his seat as the new chairman of
the ALFA Board of Directors. Ohlendorf succeeds granger cobb, president
and CEO of emeritus senior Living, as
understandings and stereotypes that can
create barriers for seniors.

Lily Glidden was a 24-year-old woman who suffered a tragic death this week after being trampled by wild elephants. As a new college graduate who was passionate about animals and interested in seeing some of the wild creatures up close to take photographs of them, officials say that Glidden's love for the elephants and her daring spirit may have contributed to her death. The Inquisitr confirms this Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014, that the young woman's devastated family has acknowledged that their loved one did know of the potential danger, but didn't let that stop her.
Thai officials have confirmed that the body of Lily Glidden was discovered by local park rangers this Jan. 18, less than a week before the 24-year-old college graduate set out by herself in order to study wild elephants and examine the exotic nature of Kaeng Krachan National Park. These rangers noted that due to the massive blunt force injuries Glidden sustained, they believe that she was likely trampled by the wild animals. The crushing power and speed of an elephant stampede is "never to be underestimated," added the report.
"Looking at the pictures she took in her camera, we see a lot of animals, birds, snakes, lizards," police Col. Woradet Suanklaai said. "We assumed she wanted to take pictures of elephants because that's what the Kaeng Krachan National Park is famous for."
A proud graduate this 2012 of Tufts University, Lily Glidden graduated with a major in biology and a passion for nature. She had a special interest in animals, and as evidenced by the multitude of photographs taken of wild creatures on her Facebook page, reveal the young woman working closely and frequently with potentially dangerous animals like wolves and snakes.
"Following her stunning and devastating death, the family of Lily Glidden said she was 'very aware of the dangers of working with wildlife and not a person to court foolish risks, particularly where animals were involved.'"
"We believe that what happened to Lily was a result of unknowable and unusual circumstances which she must have been unable to foresee or prevent," her family revealed in a new statement provided by a local news source.
The family and friends of 24-year-old Glidden are remembering her as a young woman with a love for animals and a passionate, fearless spirit. On both Facebook and Twitter, loved ones say that while the world may know her now as the girl trampled and killed by elephants, they will remember her for her wild heart and adventurous soul.
"She was known as kind of a bad-ss," said Ryan Clapp, a friend who had visited Glidden in Thailand earlier this month.
Concluded the press release:
"Lily Glidden was no stranger to working with dangerous animals. In completing her biology degree, she worked in the western United States trapping wolves, traveled to Hong Kong to handle venomous snakes, and counted game animals on the Serengeti plains."

Is US Dollar Bottoming Right Here, Right Now?
Rod David
Bouncing out of Tuesday's retest of recent lows would likely become a substantial upleg.
The following are the latest daily summaries of my ongoing intraday coverage, providing context to interpret price action. Any prices listed are for a contract's current "front month." Their direction tends to correlate with any ETFs listed for each.
Today's Highlight:
Crude oil's volatility may have been affected partially by the dollar's drop Tuesday. But the dollar's drop, which is trying to resume its recent decline, has an opportunity to form a durable bottom if another rally begins without delay.
Dollar Basket
Sep Contract DX; (NYSEARCA:UUP), (NYSEARCA:UDN)
The congestion of Monday's narrowly ranging inside day made the next trending attempt likely to fail. That would help to recover from trending down first that retests prior lows. Prior lows were tested Tuesday, so closing back above 81.45 would now launch a new rally leg. The pattern is otherwise vulnerable to extending the decline.
Sep Contract EC; (NYSEARCA:FXE)
The congestion of Monday's narrowly ranging inside day made the next trending attempt likely to fail. That would help to recover from trending up that retests recent highs. Tuesday did test prior highs, so reversing to close back under 1.3333 would now launch a new downleg. The pattern is otherwise vulnerable to extending the rally.
Oct Contract GC; (NYSEARCA:GLD)
Tuesday's narrow ranging around 1375.00 did not affect the pattern. Not extending down further prevented trapping shorts that would have been reliable for extending the rally.
Sep Contract SI; (NYSEARCA:SLV)
Ranging narrowly Tuesday still held under the 24.00 bounce limit whose recovery would signal the rally was extending.
30-year Treasury
Sep Contract US; (NYSEARCA:TLT)
Tuesday's gap up to test Monday's upper-end was too shallow to even begin invalidating the two prior sessions' consecutive lower closes, and the balance of the session ranged around 131-06. The two prior sessions' setup requires at least one more new low close, which the gap back down to Monday's close will try to attract.
Crude Oil
Oct Contract CL; (NYSEARCA:USO)
Monday's close had not yet resumed the rally off of its 106.25 pullback limit test, requiring the rally to resume by Tuesday's open. Instead, the open gapped down to test 105.20. An intraday bounce up to 107.00 was retraced entirely back down to new session lows testing 104.65. Gapping up Wednesday above 106.25 would signal the rally has resumed.
Natural Gas
Sep Contract NG; (NYSEARCA:UNG), (NYSEARCA:UNL)
Monday's gap up did not extend higher Tuesday, failing to provide a confirming second consecutive higher close. Lower prior highs down to 3.36 are likely to be tested before the rally can resume.

This year's slip-on has the same old shape and sole, but the materials have been upgraded big time. Look for unexpected fabrics (pony hair, faux skins) and patterns galore
Though sturdy and traditional, today's slip-on sneakers aren't quite what they used to be. Click through to see the snazzy but sensible slip-ons we love.
Blonde Salad X Steve Madden leather and rubber sneakers, $140; stevemadden.com
Paul Van Doren and his partners launched Vans in Anaheim, California, in the 1960s with the simple objective of building a better sneaker—one with a thicker sole, higher-quality canvas and more-reslisient nylon thread. They succeeded, but it took legions of '70s skateboarders to elevate the shoe to cult status.
Choose a narrow leg that falls just above the knee (or higher). When combining prints in your clothes and sneakers, vary the scale of the patterns.
Long skirts are lovely, but if you're wearing these shoes, you'd be wise to let a bit of flesh peek through (sheer panels, midthigh slits) in order to avoid a bottom-heavy appearance.
A narrow (but not super skinny) leg keeps your lower body from looking too solid and square. Try feminine fabrics (fluid, silky) to offset the sporty effect of the sneakers.
Look for clothes with soft, pretty colors and fabrics to play against the masculine vibe of the sneakers.

The Oregon Ducks have some of the finest athletic teams in college sports, and the Oregon Ducks also have some of the hottest cheerleaders in the country rooting for their great athletic teams.
The following is a slideshow of 20 photos of the hottest Oregon Ducks cheerleaders in 2014. Watch for the cheerleaders in the photos at Oregon college football and college basketball games this year.
The Oregon Ducks men's college basketball team has been resurgent in recent times, making the NCAA Tournament in 2013. The hot Oregon Ducks cheerleaders were prominently on display through the 2013 season for the great run to the NCAA Tournament.
Historically, Oregon has not been a tremendously successful basketball program, but did you know that the Oregon Ducks won the very first NCAA Tournament in 1939? Oregon looks like it will be pretty good in college basketball in 2014, which is great because it provides more opportunities to see the awesome Oregon Ducks cheerleaders.
The Oregon Ducks college football team has been very impressive in recent times. A great thing, because Oregon's great play has had the team, and the red hot Oregon cheerleaders, on display nationally many times.
20 Photos of the hottest Oregon Ducks cheerleaders in 2014
- Oregon Ducks cheerleaders
The Oregon Ducks cheerleaders are a co-ed squad consisting of 28 members, or 14 couples. The cheer squad performs stunts and cheers at Oregon Ducks college football games, Oregon Ducks men's and women's college basketball games, and at volleyball matches.
The Oregon Ducks play home football games at Autzen Stadium, and the men and women college basketball teams play home games at Matthew Knight Arena. Those two venues are mainly where the Oregon Ducks cheerleaders perform, but the Oregon cheerleaders also go on away games for football and bowl games, and NCAA Tournament games.
- Oregon Ducks dance team of cheerleaders
In addition to the stunt team of cheerleaders listed above, the Oregon Ducks also have an all women dance team of cheerleaders. The Oregon cheerleaders dance team consists of 14 members, who are always very attractive (see photos).

text: Shonn Greene made his long-awaited return to game action in Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers, though you wouldn't know it from the stat sheet. He was only on the field for two snaps and had just one carry for two yards. It's hardly a surprise that the short-yardage, goal-line specialist didn't see much action, since the Titans were playing from behind, only rushed 13 times as a team and didn't have any goal-line situations.

Hi Gurus,
Can someone extend some asssitance? I need to transport 5000 transport request in OS level (window). I wanted to create a script that will enable me to addtobuffer and tp import all this 5000 request and will show the error code of the particular TPs that encountered an error.
Need your immediate assistance please?
In this case your OS administrator can help you to create the scrpit with your assitance how should and what command to maintain in script.
You can do the following
1. Compose all the requests in the given specified format.
tp addtobuffer REQUEST SID client=XXX pf= Transport domain profile Using excel sheet.
We should have following things
a. Request IDs such as <SID>K9XXXXX
b. SID of the system for which these requests are to be imported.
c. Specific client no.
d. Transport domain profile.
The final format of the excel sheet with all the transport requests should look like this.
This format needs to be pasted on to the text file. (transports.txt), in windows you can save as .cmd or bat format may be.
tp addtobuffer <SID>K9XXXXX <target SID> client=XXX pf=TP_DOMAIN_SID.PFL
tp addtobuffer <SID>K9XXXXX <target SID> client=XXX pf=TP_DOMAIN_SID.PFL
tp addtobuffer <SID>K9XXXXX <target SID> client=XXX pf=TP_DOMAIN_SID.PFL
tp addtobuffer <SID>K9XXXXX <target SID> client=XXX pf=TP_DOMAIN_SID.PFL
2. Once the text file or cmd file with all the requests are made, place it on to the target system transport directory.
3. Execute this file (./transports.bat) and redirect this file to one more file (error.txt) for checking the errors
./transports.bat >> error.txt
Once all the transports are attached into buffer, you can do the mass import from STMS
Thanks and Regards

Hi purnachender,
Thanks for your input. Item number 1 and 2 are clear, also i understand that i need to put the .cmd or .bat file containing the final list of transport in /usr/sap/Trans/bin and then execute. However, i also need to see the RC of the errors if a certain transport in the list encountered an error. Do you know how to do this? can this be included in the .cmd or .bat file which contains the tp list? Can you please elaborate on what you said on item 3, to quote "and redirect this file to one more file (error.txt) for checking the errors
./transports.bat >> error.txt".
Appreciate your assistance.
I have tried it in a unix, and i hope the same will be applicable in windows also for redirecting the output from bat executable.you can try test once with some sample requests before executing the original one.
Thanks and Regards
Ok, so in the command prompt in windows, should it look as below?
usr\sap\trans\bin\ ./transports.bat >> error.txt
Hi ,
You can try execute like the following with some sample requests
usr\sap\trans\bin\ transports.bat >> error.txt
error.txt can be seen at the same place
Thanks and Regards
Could you suggest what should be the filemname for the mass transports to be addeed at os level.. like u said fr windows it can be transports.bat...
wat could be for unix to run as script from /usr/sap/trans/bin/... ./transports.<extension filename ?? > ... to run...
Ashish R
You can use extention .sh
Now this is very basic so please do some research before posting and read the "Rules of Engagement"
it may help you
#!/usr/bin/sh # Program: To use "tp" to transport to <SID> echo "This program will transport from list" echo "Do you want to continue? [Y/N]" read input if [ $input = "Y" ]; then echo "Transporting $list" echo "Adding $list to buffer" tp addtobuffer $list <SID> echo "Importing $list" tp import $list <SID> client<090> elif [ $input = "N" ]; then echo "Transport for $list is cancel" else echo "Input $input not a valid option" echo "Program Tranport ended due to invalid input" exit fi
list is a file with all the TR list
SID : system ID

Procedures for Transfer of J-1 Program Supervision for Students
The Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs has
oversight of the Exchange Visitor Program and must be notified whenever
you need to change your J-1 program sponsorship (supervision). This occurs
when you are currently enrolled as a student in another U.S. institution
under J-1 immigration status and plan to enroll at Columbia, or if you
are already enrolled at Columbia under the sponsorship (supervision) of
another Exchange Visitor Program (such as IIE, OAD, etc.) and are transferring
J-1 sponsorship (supervision) to Columbia's Exchange Visitor Program.
When the Exchange Visitor Program is notified of your planned enrollment
at Columbia University, Columbia becomes your program sponsor (supervisor).
Transfer of J-1 program sponsor must be completed if:
An Exchange Visitor in the student category (as indicated in section 4 of the DS-2019) may transfer from one program sponsor to another only if the purpose of the transfer is to complete the original educational objective for which he or she entered the U.S. The "responsible officer" (RO) of the program from which you are transferring needs to determine that
If your dependents -- spouse or
unmarried children under 21 years of age -- will transfer to Columbia
sponsorship along with you or will join you shortly after the transfer,
you will need to provide additional documentation showing your ability
to meet your dependents' expenses. Upon receipt of the required information,
we will prepare the dependent DS-2019 forms to facilitate their transfer
to Columbia sponsorship and the next J-2 entry visa application. You may
request a DS-2019 form for your spouse and/or children anytime during
your stay at Columbia.

My oldest monkey has a birthday coming up. It's a big one, and it's had me thinking for the better part of a week about whether or not I'm doing this parenting thing right.
Is there a right way, fellow mommy?
Every mom I know does things differently. I think my mom was a wonderful mother, but I'm not raising my littles exactly the same way she raised me.
All of this has me thinking about what makes a good mom. And I figure if I'm wondering, maybe you are, too. So let's make a list.
Have you ever …
… bawled over a long-lost Mother's Day card with tiny handprints on it because those hands are so much bigger now than they were then?
… lain awake at night, worrying or praying (or both) because the baby who always breakdances on your bladder at 2 a.m. is very, very still?
… held a frightened child as their vomit runs out of your hair and into your lap, not really caring about anything except helping your baby feel better?
… watched the same episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (or Thomas, or Barney) so many times you can recite the script word for word, because your toddler's face lights up when their favorite character comes onto the TV?
… lain in a hospital bed in agony, but refused medication because you're afraid painkillers might be bad for the baby no matter what the kindly nurse tells you?
… smiled through the taste of Neosporin on your lips because your little one insists that mommy kisses work better than medicine?
… bounced on a yoga ball for hours with a colicky infant because it's the only thing that helps him feel better?
… played Weebles even though you were bored to tears, because it makes your child smile?
… eaten pizza and PB&J for dinner because you promised he could choose the menu?
… gone to Target in your pajamas to get Gatorade and crackers for a sick little one?
… felt your heart swell and your eyes tear when your baby gives up something they want in order to help someone in need, as you stand in awe of this little soul you helped bring into the world?
… abandoned a mountain of laundry to climb a tree even though you're deathly afraid, because it made your child laugh?
… sat by a hospital bed and stared at your miracle, hooked up to tubes and wires and looking ever so small, and offered up anything and everything you've ever even thought about wanting if God will just make your baby well?
… fallen into bed on Christmas Eve more excited than when you were a kid yourself, because you can't wait to see their faces in the morning?
… held yourself in place, heart in your throat, as your baby climbed the slide tower because you know how much she wants to do it herself?
… cheered a children's ballgame or dive meet like the Olympic trials because your baby just nailed a play they've been working on for weeks?
… gone to help at a school party after being up all night feeding a newborn?
… felt your heart leap when you saw the second pink line on the pregnancy test?
… wrecked your house in the name of childhood magic on St. Patrick's Day?
… stayed up until the wee hours sewing a costume?
… spent half a day baking and decorating the perfect birthday cake to see them smile for ten minutes before your masterpiece is hacked up and devoured?
… cried with them over a first broken heart?
… driven yourself batty reading pregnancy books only to have your significant other confiscate and dispose of them so you'll stop freaking yourself out?
… wanted to smack another child for hurting your baby's feelings?
… stared at the ceiling until after one, waiting to hear a key in lock so you know they're home safely?
… cried your own tears of relief when you heard that first raspy newborn wail?
… smoothed her hair back while she slept, thanking God for making you a mommy and whispering that no matter how big she gets, she'll always be your baby girl?
I bet you answered "Yes," to a good many of those, didn't you?
If that's what you do on the front lines of parenthood, day in and day out, then you needn't concern yourself with whether or not you're a good mom. The answer is obvious.
Being a mom is hard work, whether you have one child or a dozen. At the end of the day, being a good mom is, a lot of the time, about putting another person's happiness in front of your own. That's not always fun, and sometimes you might even resent it, but here's the most basic test: have you ever worried that you're not a good enough mommy?
In my experience, people who really aren't don't bother themselves with such things.
As my daughter inches closer to double digits, here's what I've decided: I worry too much (my hubby would laugh here and say "and the sky is blue.").
Our babies know we're good moms. And we should, too.

Tulane picked up a
third signee on Monday
Nov. 13, 2000
NEW ORLEANS, La. - - The Tulane women's basketball team has added a third New Orleans-area signee during the early signing period, Green Wave head coach Lisa Stockton announced on Monday.
Shelly Cayette from Donaldsonville, La., joins New Orleans native Lakethia Hampton and LaPlace, La., standout Kinya Lennix as the Green Wave's third signee of the year.
"Shelly is an athletic post player who has a great work ethic," Stockton said. "We've had some terrific post players over the last several years and we think Shelly will carry that tradition into the future. We're certainly excited she has decided to continue her athletic and academic career at Tulane."
Like Hampton and Lennix, Cayette, a 6-4 center from Ascension Catholic High School, ranks as one of the top prep players in the nation. She has been listed as high as 26th on the All-Star Girls Report compilation of the Class of 2001 and is currently the seventh-best center in the rankings. She attended the 2000 adidas All-American camp this past summer. At Ascension Catholic, Cayette was a first-team all-state pick by the Louisiana High School Basketball Coaches Association as a junior. So far a three-time all-district choice, Cayette has recorded 1,039 career points, 745 career rebounds and has an impressive 219 blocked shots through three seasons. As a junior, Cayette scored 493 points, grabbed 325 rebounds and had 92 rejections.
"We're thrilled to have three of the top players in Louisiana joining us next season," Stockton added. "All three are exciting players to watch and should help us continue our success both in Conference USA and nationally."
Tulane returns to action on Friday, as the Green Wave play host to Nicholls State in Fogelman Arena. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. The game will also be part of a double-header with the Tulane and Nicholls State men's teams.

Beautiful valley in natural surroundings
Where crystal-clear air will soften your heart
Shosenkyo in Kofu City, Yamanashi, is a valley known for its scenic beauty. The beautiful scenery integrating seasonal plants such as cherry blossoms, azalea and colored leaves with the beauty of the landscape of the valley created through millions of years fascinates many people. There is a trail of about 4 km from Tenjinmori at the entrance to Senga-taki that is a grand fall created by a shift of earth crust. Because the difference of elevation is big along the trail, color of leaves varies in foliage season depending on the elevation of the spot. So you can enjoy colored leaves for as long as one month.
There are oddly-shaped rocks in the valley. Huge "Kakuenbo" rock is the place for ascetic training for ancient monk Kakuen according to legends. Other sightseeing spots include Ishimon surrounded by huge granite rocks, famous Nagatoro-bashi bridge built in 1925 and majestic Arakawa Dam. Walk about 5 minutes from Itajiki-keikoku near Arakawa Dam and you will see O-taki. Both Senga-taki mentioned above and O-taki drop 30 m but their atmosphere is completely different. It will be fun to compare them.
