Went for my yearly exam this week and I have a lump in my breast--a huge, almost lemon sized lump. I first felt it about six weeks ago (I know, I know), but since I already had an exam scheduled. . .
Any way--they sent me the next day for a mammogram and an ultrasound and while in the imaging center they immediately did an MRI.
I am terrified, as anyone would be; but I am beyond terrifed because:
1, The GYN called the radiologist (not the practice, the radiologist herself) from the exam room to get me in next day,
2. I saw the looks on the faces of the GYN, her nurse, the ultrasound tech and the radiologist, I know that look, it is not the way one looks at someone for whom "everything will be okay."
3. The mass the radiologist found measured 1.5x2.5cm, but the calcifications extend pretty extensively throughout my breast,
4. At least 3 lymph nodes also show calcifications
5. the words agressive, proactive, and balls to the wall have been used repeatedly
6. I have been hugged by two physicians in two days--not the kind of hugs one might give a scared customer--real, meaningful hugs, one (from the radiologist with hands on face looking deep into my eyes).
I have a biopsy scheduled for Monday--they have already scheduled a consult with an oncologist, just in case (my ass, just in case) for Thursday.
I am just numb (which is my usual reaction to any sort of extreme stress). My husband has been wonderful; although I think he is as aware as I am that this is not good. He is a fixer though and a very competent man, I have a feeling that when it finally hits him that this is something he can't fix, it's going to hit him hard.
My mom, who lives with us, is staying calm and busy--she has been through this twice before. My Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and died four months later, my sister fought and won a battle with breast cancer four years later when my mom was living with her. She knows the drill.
I know it is not going to be good news--I am prepared for a fight; but I have an eight year old son who is the center of my universe and the words, "I can't leave my boy," are continually running through my mind.
Please, if you pray, please pray for me--or send good thoughts and wishes or whatever. If you've been through this yourself, what helped you, what do I need to do now, what do I need to ask.
I know this is long; if you made it this far, thank you.
Oh, my GYN did give me a prescription for Xanax, so that's enjoyable.

Last week I went to New Orleans, a first for me. This was one city that was on a my bucket list to visit. Since an author/reader conference was going on as well, and many familiar author and blogger faces were going to be there, I felt it was the perfect opportunity for me to go and not be all by my lonesome, wandering around an unknown city or sitting in a corner behind some potted plant in a corner. (those days of sitting in a corner behind a plant in the lobby are long gone)
My flight was only 3 hours and very uneventful. I arrived around noon and took the airport shuttle to the hotel. The drive took about 30 minutes and gave me the chance to see all the sites. The hotel I was staying at is called the Royal Sonesta Hotel which is right smack in the middle of Bourbon Street. The Royal Sonesta was a beautiful hotel with lovely architecture, filed with plants and the rooms were nice and airy with comfortable beds and a bathroom more than a size of a closet.
Hotel Courtyard and pool. The pool as on the third floor. My hotel room:
Since I arrived early and no one I knew was around I decided to explore. I grabbed my handy dandy guide book and looking like a complete tourist, I explored Bourbon Street. Because I was hungry, I ended up a restaurant a few blocks down called LeBayou and enjoyed some authentic New Orleans cruisine:
I wanted to try the alligator but it wasn't in season *KB pout*, so instead I got a sampler of everything from rice and beans to crawfish and shrimp. It was le yum!
After my big lunch, I walked it off by roaming around.I found out there were two used bookstores in the area and scoped them out. Beckham's Book Shop and Librairie Book Shop are owned by the same person.
Other interesting things to see:
You're allowed to walk around with alcohol as long as it's in a plastic cup. There were many with plastic cups and plastic yards full of creative booze type drinks roaming Bourbon Street, usually starting at 6pm. During the day it was quite but after 6pm it was craziness! People drank and partied into the wee hours of the morning and every morning the city washes down the street with a bleach soap cleanser to wash away last night's debauchery. Across the street from my hotel is a cute place called Cafe Beignet. There you can eat outside, mainly in their courtyard for breakfast and enjoy a New Orleans staple-coffee and beignets!
Another well known place for beignets is Cafe Du Monde (I kept saying Cafe Mons because we all know my mind is in the gutter). There you can get a plate of 3 beignets for under $5 and it's right near the Mississippi River.
The glowing beignets! Or if you prefer, the sparkly ones. Don't eat these if you're wearing black or dark clothes. The powdered sugar will stick to you.
Mississippi River
The oldest Catholic church in the United States
Now I save the best tourist attraction for last. The French Quarter might be filled with many restaurants, bars and stores, but there are also quite a bit of specialty shops. One of the first people I met who flew in was Monica at the Obscure Vixen blog. She grabbed her trusty camera and I joined her as we scoped out even more of the sights, specifically one store I noticed in my tourist guide called Second Skin.
Me being a tourist and posing for Monica
Second Skin, one of the best sex toy shops in the French Quarter
On the front door of Second Skin. Yes, every sex shop, including this one has the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, usually next to the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by Anne Rice! I wanted to gag myself with a gag ball when I saw the books being showcased. Most of the time, the books were in plastic wrap. Seriously, WTF?
After our travels, Monica and I want back to the hotel to meet up with some bloggers and authors such as Twimom Jen, author Carolyn Crane, Jen at Red Hot Books (who was the best tour guide ever!) and author Teresa D'Amario for some nighttime fun (pretty tame nighttime fun, but still fun!)
Teresa, Carolyn, Me, Jen Red Hot and Monica. Twimom Jen took the picture.
Next up Mho will take over and the camera hog will show off all the wonderful people he posed with.
One of the many sights on Bourbon Street. Drunk Homer.

Evel" Dick Donato of 'Big Brother' fame took to his Twitter page on the evening of April 17, 2014, and posted a bloody photo of his face with injuries that looked serious. According to Big Brother Spice, fans were worried about him after seeing the image and reading the message he tweeted, which read, "Pretty sure I got hit be a car, but I have no memory of what happened… at all. Pretty sure I have a concussion too."
Fans began asking questions of Dick, and he responded by posting, "I probly need stitches and should be at the hospital, but I barely made it home. Man, am I gonna have a headache tomorrow." Although some likely speculated that Dick may have indulged in some drinking that could have impaired his actions and his memory, he indicated that was not the case, tweeting, "I had 2 beers all night, no not drunk."
Big Brother Network reports that Dick's many fans pleaded with him to head to a hospital emergency room to get evaluated and treated, but he said he would rather stay home. Some of his followers tweeted Jun Song, another "Big Brother" alumnus, who is friends with Dick, to alert her to the issue, according to Big Brother Spice. In the early morning hours of April 18, Jun wrote, "…I'm trying to get in touch with him :( "
Later on in the day, Big Brother Network received word from one of Dick's friends who had updates on the matter. The friend said that Dick was "resting up today," but did not indicate exactly what his condition was or what happened to him.
Finally, around 7 pm ET, Dick again took to his Twitter page, writing he still has no memory of what happened to him, but that a friend is taking him to the hospital tomorrow to get checked out. He also noted that the injury took place as he made his way home on his bike and remembers being on the side of the road when he came to. Although in the photo he looks like he and his bike probably took a pretty hard hit, Dick made sure to let followers know the bike "is fine."

ICAO Council President Dr. Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu (left), Prime Minister and Head of Government of Burkina Faso, the Honourable Beyon Luc-Adolphe Tiao (centre) and ICAO Secretary General Raymond Benjamin (right).
MONTRÉAL, 17 June 2014 – The Council President of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Dr. Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, had the honour of receiving the Prime Minister and Head of Government of Burkina Faso, the Honourable Beyon Luc-Adolphe Tiao, for a special visit to ICAO Headquarters in Montréal last week.
President Aliu was joined on the occasion by ICAO Secretary General Raymond Benjamin, while Prime Minister Tiao and his attending Ministers were accompanied by Moumouni Dieguimde, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Burkina Faso on the ICAO Council. Burkina Faso was elected to the 36-State ICAO Governing Council in late 2013 at the 38th Session of the ICAO Assembly.
"The challenges that ICAO faces are many, and they are highly complex; we, as heads of government, cabinet members and senior officials, are fully aware of this," commented Prime Minister Tiao during his address to the ICAO Council. "It hardly needs saying that the impact of your work here in ICAO extends well beyond the spheres of technology, environment, tourism and the economy, and influences the quality of life in society at large. Indeed, the aviation industry, by shrinking the distances between continents and peoples, makes it possible today for someone living in Alaska to enjoy roses that have been freshly cut in Africa, not to mention the medicines which, were it not for the airplane, could not be transported over the oceans and continents in time to save lives."
"The ICAO Council is very proud to welcome the Prime Minister of Burkina Faso and the many Ministers who have accompanied him on this important occasion," noted Council President Aliu to the visiting dignitaries. "We are very encouraged that His Excellency Prime Minister Tiao takes such an obvious interest in air transport, and that he clearly recognizes and appreciates the significant social and economic development benefits which reliable air services bring to States and Regions globally."
Joining Prime Minister Tiao at ICAO on this occasion were:

Whether you're a first-time racer merely looking to have fun at the local track or an aspiring Nextel Cup champion, sponsorship dollars are vital to what you do-unless you print money in the basement. If you look at any race car at any local track, the odds are there's a lot of room for more sponsor information. How do you attract sponsors to pony up the dollars to help with the effort?
One way is to present them with an attractive rolling billboard for their business or product. It works in Cup, Busch, and Craftsman Truck. It can work for local businesses, too. But what makes a good-looking race car? How can you make it more likely that a photo of your car will wind up getting attention from print media? How do you make your car stand out from the crowd?
Les Miller, creative director for PCG-Campbell, a marketing and communications company that does a lot of work for Ford Racing, says it's important to keep it simple, clean, and easily repaired.
"Your car should be as clean as possible but not garish or gaudy," Miller says. He recommends using contrasting colors, but not colors with the same density. "A bright blue body with bright red numbers wouldn't have enough contrast. Also avoid shiny or chrome numbers that could be hard for timing and scoring to read. If you want to be taken seriously, no racing in primer. It looks unfinished."
Miller recommends saving Day-Glo colors for chain racing or a demolition derby because they look cheap and unprofessional. "You've never seen a Cup car in Day-Glo paint," Miller says. That goes for rollcages and wheels, too. And avoid silver or reflective paint, says Miller, because they don't photograph well.
Chucke Walkden, track photographer for Infineon Raceway, says to be sure to choose colors that are going to stand out. "You need contrast against the track, but you don't want to blind them," Walkden says. Some whites can cause problems for photography, although white is fine as long as it's not too white. "With a really bright white, everything else is underexposed," he explains. "It takes less exposure than every other car. If I'm shooting 50 cars, I'm not going to adjust my exposure for one car."
Walkden suggests primary colors such as red, yellow, and blue, with lots of contrast between the body colors and graphics. "You want it to 'pop,'" he says. "Black is probably the worst to photograph, because you only see the highlights of the paint. Darker colors at night are going to disappear into the track. Your eyes are drawn to the brighter car. With dark colors you lose the whole shape of the car. You may only see the number."
Kevin Culver, owner of Straight Line Body and Paint in Portland, Oregon, agrees with Miller about keeping the look of your car simple. Culver had done work for Sports Car Club of American racers who thought nothing of spending $1,500 to $2,000 for painting their race cars. "It was culture shock when I got into stock car racing, where they thought $200 to $300 was more like it," says Culver. But then sports car racing frowns on contact of any kind, so a $2,000 paint job will take less abuse and require less attention in the future. The paint work on a stock car, meanwhile, may need several touch-ups and require more long-term investment.
"When I started racing out at Portland Speedway in Limited Sportsman, I already had a sponsor and I wanted to keep him," Culver says. "I figured if I had a really nice looking car others in the class would want to make theirs look good, too. I thought it would raise everybody up a notch. What I found out is that it was like driving with a bull's-eye on my car."
Culver's elaborate four-color paint scheme with shadowed and outlined numbers needed repair most weekends. It was a perfect example of what not to do. "I showed them! I showed up every Friday with the car in pristine condition," he says. The next year he painted his car a solid red. It was a lot less work. Make your car look good, he says, but don't make it look too good.
The kind of paint you use is important. Culver recommends using a good, cheap, catalyzed urethane paint so that it can be easily repainted. "If you attract a sponsor, you may have to repaint the whole car," Culver points out. "A single-stage catalyzed urethane is better for making repairs because you can paint over it week after week with no reaction. It won't wrinkle or feather. You can't paint over a synthetic enamel."
How about saving money by buying leftover paint from an automotive paint store or body shop, paints that for whatever reason weren't used? "Don't do it!" Culver says. "Eventually, you have to match it. Go with fleet colors or factory pack colors. They're the cheapest because the paint store doesn't have to mix them."
Culver uses the same white, for instance, on all race cars he paints with white."That way when they come back in six months, you don't have to figure out which color you used." Touch-ups are easier and cheaper if you don't have to make up a special mix.
Keep a record of the materials used: brand, type, color name or number, and so on. Relying on memory can cause problems later when you need more paint.
Miller says it's important to lay out the look of the car and then walk away about 50 feet. "What looks good up close may not be what it looks like on the racetrack in the dark," he says. "Walk back and squint. That will help you visualize what your car will look like at speed on the track."
Distance can also point out problems with letter spacing on sponsor graphics. Miller remembers designing lettering for a florist truck. While it looked fine up close, "Flick Florist" took on a whole new meaning from a distance. Better spacing on the signage took care of what could have been an embarrassing problem. Leaving enough space between individual letters is imperative.
Graphics need to be easy to repair as well as paint. Miller suggests getting in touch with a local sign shop.
Most sign shops provide a variety of services. Clent Sutton is the manager of Impact Signs in Beaverton, Oregon. "What we make is meant to be seen from a distance," he says. That means that the company already knows about proper letter sizes and spacing.
Help from a local sign shop may prove invaluable. "But make sure you know what the requirements are for the track you're racing," Sutton says. Find out number size, placement, restrictions on graphics, and other relevant information before you design the look of your car.
Sign shops can make paint masks for special paint designs from vector files and layout graphics and numbers. They'll even put them on the car for you. But the more services you need, the higher the cost. You may be able to have the sign shop sponsor you with an ad on your car in exchange for their work. You should ask about it.
"Consider where the car will be seen from when you're placing sponsor logos," Sutton says. "If most of the people are above in grandstands, then maybe the roof, hood, or trunk would be the best place to put your sponsors."Culver suggests putting most of your sponsor's information on those same areas, but for a different reason. "Odds are, you are going to be repairing the sides," he says.
He also recommends using a semi-stick vinyl for numbers and logos. "When you get tire burn, you can patch numbers with extra vinyl. It looks good at 5 feet and at 50." Putting numbers on a bull's-eye or TV screen-shaped piece of semi-stick vinyl also makes replacing numbers easier. "You don't want vinyl that sticks too well because you can waste an awful lot of time trying to get it off without tearing the paint," he adds. Outlining numbers makes them stand out more, but can add to the time it takes to make repairs.
Sometimes a sponsor may advertise on your car for just one or two races. Sutton suggests applying a semi-stick patch to the car and then putting the sponsor's signage on it in this instance. That way, all you need to do when you're done is peel off the whole thing.
Miller feels the look of the car's interior is also important. He recommends painting the interior of the car with a light-colored catalyst paint because it can be easily cleaned. This includes the cockpit, engine compartment, and trunk. Dove Gray works well. "The interior should be super clean and all one color," he says. "No loose wiring, and don't paint the hardware."
Culver says he would choose a light gray paint close to a color available in a rattle can, making touch-ups possible with the rattle can. The light color also makes it easier to see during repairs at night.
While it is important to have the car look good at speed on the track, sponsors also see it up close, Culver says. They often like to have the car displayed at their place of business to get more mileage from their advertising.
A bumper sticker seen in a gift shop reads, "A boat: a hole in the water in which to pour money." That could certainly apply to race cars as well. Making your car look good can pay dividends in sponsor dollars and attract attention to your racing program. The price of doing so depends on how much you can do yourself and how much you pay someone to do some of the work for you. In any case, making your car look good may be worth the extra cost and effort.
* Keep it simple, clean, and easy to repair.* Use contrasting colors for body and graphics.* Use single-stage catalyzed urethane paint for ease of repainting.* Choose fleet or factory pack colors.* Use semi-stick vinyl for numbers and graphics for easier removal and repair.* Paint the interior with a light-colored paint. Keep it clean and make sure there are no dangling wires.* Make your car look good, but don't make it look too good.

The great thing about this video that I have for you today is that it demonstrates how to effectively warm up in all THREE planes of motion. This will gently get your joints more mobile, your muscles more pliable, and your body temperature raised enough to safely transition into you workout for the day.
So the 3 planes of motion that will be working in are the frontal (side-to-side), sagital (forward and back), and transverse plane (rotational).
And remember, walking or jogging on a treadmill, bike, or elliptical really only work the sagital plane, therefore making it a general warm-up with less specific transfer into how it can help you with your workout for the day.
Plus, by using an active or dynamic warm-up you will get your mind, nervous system, and muscles all coordinating with each other (neuromuscular activation), which will result in better core and muscular control.
Now that we have all the technical talk out of the way of why and how this dynamic warm-up routine works so well let's get into how you should actually complete it.
Although you can do 5-10 minutes of brisk walking on a treadmill to raise your body temperature before moving onto this specific warm up it really isn't necessary, so only continue to do that if you are coming in from the cold that day and feel very stiff.
The majority of the time, I just have my clients (and myself) go right into the dynamic warm-up movements since they are enough by themselves to get you moving and ready to get into your workout.
Now here is the "Dynamic Warm-Ups Exercise Routine" that you can follow along with:
W1. Jumping Jacks x 30 seconds
W2. Backwards lunges with Strap Stretch x 24 reps
W3. Plank with Reach Out x 20 reps (10-12x each arm)
You can watch me explain the moves in the video below:
Those 3 exercises move your body through all 3 planes of motion and after you give it a shot I'll be willing to bet that you've got your heart rate up and your blood pumping!
The other great thing is that you can take this dynamic warm-up anywhere and you can complete it in less than 5 minutes. This will leave you more time for your workout that day so that you can get in and out as fast as possible.
I never have my clients workout for more than 30 - 45 minutes and one reason they're able to get everything in so quickly is because they don't need to spend 10-15 minutes getting warmed up…
I hope you enjoy using the dynamic warm-up routine before your resistance based workouts and for more information on my complete 12-week Fatlossity nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyle system check out the link below:

State record bass reeled in from Lake Fork
16.04-pounder ties for number 22 spot on Top 50 list
Richard Scibek of Granbury went to Lake Fork last Saturday to enjoy a day of fishing with his friend James Quisenberry. Using a black salty (a type of goldfish), Scibek caught a 16.04-pound largemouth bass that ties with another Lake Fork fish as the 22nd largest bass ever caught in Texas. The fish was 25.75 inches long and 23 inches in girth.

Blargh! It's halfway through winter and our skin is not happy with the cold, dry weather. But all hope is not lost. The price tag may be on the high end, but we think it's time to invest in the Echium & Amaranth Age Confidence Facial Oil ($90) from Pai. We'd rather spend the ninety clams on a way to keep our skin moisturized than spend even more trying to restore its balance after it's already damaged. Applying the facial oil two to three times a week will help keep the dry, patchy skin at bay.

Many countries relied on low-skilled immigrant workers during good times. But Japan, Spain, and the Czech Republic have recently introduced "pay-to-go" programs to reduce the number of unemployed immigrants. MPI's Kristen McCabe, Serena Yi-Ying Lin, and Hiroyuki Tanaka, and Piotr Plewa of the European University Institute examine these programs and the larger policy questions they raise.
This report provides an overview of diaspora advocacy by looking at five issues: who participates in diaspora advocacy, who or what are the "targets" in these efforts, what means are used to advance these causes, what are the issues on which they focus, and the effectiveness of the efforts.
This report examines the diaspora entrepreneurs who are often motivated to contribute to job creation and economic growth in their native lands, and offers some key findings and policy options.
This report analyzes the evolving role of diaspora philanthropy in countries of origin, and examines the emergence of nongovernmental development actors and new trends in global philanthropy, such as strategic giving and use of online platforms to harness small donations.
This report explores how nostalgia trade and heritage tourism can involve diaspora populations in transactions that ease the integration of their homeland economies, while helping maintain their ties to their countries of origin or ancestry.
A growing body of evidence suggests that diasporas play a critical role in supporting sustainable development by transferring resources, knowledge, and ideas back to their home countries, and in integrating their countries of origin into the global economy.
Nearly 1 million U.S. residents spend time volunteering abroad each year, including nearly 200,000 first- and second-generation immigrants. As skilled migration and the number of U.S. youth with ancestors in the developing world grow, this report shows the potential for diaspora service volunteers to assist with development in a number of countries.

Independence Day, better known today as the 4th of July, is a celebration of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence was drafted in June of 1776 and was adopted by the Continental Congress July 4, 1776. The Declaration was the official step taken to declare independence from Great Britain. Thirteen colonies became sovereign states and would no longer be under British rule. Today the 4th of July has become one of the most celebrated holidays in America, it is a celebration of freedom and American pride.
The 4th of July will be a little different this year without the fire bans of previous years but it is important to remember it's been very dry lately. Although there is no fire ban the restrictions on fireworks will be different in every county so make sure you check your county's restrictions before lighting up. To be on the safe side just pack up the family and head to one of Colorado's many firework spectaculars. The festivities began last night at Civic Center Park but there will be plenty more. Below are some of the events taking place today.

Can anyone give me advice on why my pony has started to trip whilst cantering? We were at a fun ride on Sunday and it was quite scary as he started to trip and I thought he was going to fall, but he came back. He has done it the last few times I have been out, but when he has done it before I was with friends and put it down to him not concentrating and trying to keep up with the other horses. But on Sunday we were on our own and in a very controlled canter and he still tripped
He is 19 years old. He does not trip in walk or trot.
Any suggestions.

My mare has had two bad trips this year - one resulting in her being off work for just over a month with a nasty cut to her fetlock...how she missed her knees I'll never know! She's 18 and the vet said it could be a bit of arthritis but on both occasions she slipped when walking on an uneven road so it might be nothing more than an accident. She has Superflex which is great for joints and has certainly freed her up a bit. She has also started to have natural balance shoes which has improved things dramatically. Have a chat with your farrier about them as they shorten the "roll over" (I think it's called!) meaning there's less opportunity to stumble. Are you within a sensible weight range for your pony? (Sorry to be rude but my horse was more inclined to trip with a heavier rider!) and could your weight be a little too far forward increasing the pressure on his front legs? Might be worth getting someone to watch or film you riding just to check that one. I have no idea if it would have that much effect but I'm having lessons to improve my riding position which in turn influences her shape which in turn makes her less likely to trip! The more she works correctly the less pressure there is on her forehand so we help to save her legs. Win win!
Hi Sarah,
This is great advice. I thnk I shall try some super flex, because in all honesty I do think it is his age and he may be starting to stiffen up. No its not rude, these questions need to be asked, I am a liitle too tall for him, but not too heavy, he is very chunky and very fit and can easy carry my weight and some one a few stone heavier, my weight could be a little too forward whilst in canter, so I shall ask my friend who I hack out with to have look and even take a film. I shall also ask the farrier as anything that helps to prevent this will make me happier.
No worries! I hope it helps! The different shoes have really helped my horse, my daughter's Shire who was a "tripper" and another friend's horse with low level arthritis in her knees! We all use Superflex or a vet's version of it!

December 23, 1998
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Bob Toledo was out of work at age 47, unceremoniously dumped by Texas A&M as offensive coordinator. Five years later, he's loved in Los Angeles and considered one of the brightest minds in college football.
"Timing is everything in life," UCLA athletic director Peter Dalis said.
It was Dalis who hired Toledo to succeed Terry Donahue as coach of the Bruins on Jan. 4, 1996, after such high-profile candidates as Colorado's Rick Neuheisel and Northwestern's Gary Barnett remained in those jobs.
Toledo has made the most of his good timing, guiding the sixth-ranked Bruins to a school-record 20 straight wins over two seasons before a 49-45 road loss to Miami on Dec. 5 cost them a shot at the national championship.
Until three years ago, it appeared Toledo would be a career assistant coach. Then, starting with Donahue's sudden retirement, everything changed.
Toledo admits he didn't expect this kind of success at UCLA, especially after the Bruins went 5-6 in his first season and lost their first two games the next season.
"A lot of nice things have happened," he said quietly.
The loss to Miami wasn't one of them. Toledo said he got over it after a few days, although he'll never forget it.
"It's gone, you have to put it behind you, focus on the next game," he said. "We could have been competing for a national championship, that's been my goal.
"It's like fishing: you catch one, you reel it in, you lose it, go to the next fish."
The next fish, in this case, is the Rose Bowl game on New Year's Day against No. 9 Wisconsin.
Toledo's sudden dismissal by Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum after the 1993 season turned out to be a blessing, even if it didn't feel like it to Toledo at the time.
The Aggies set a school record by scoring 404 points in Toledo's final year there. They were 49-12-1 and played in five straight bowl games with Toledo running their offense. Apparently that wasn't good enough, although Slocum has since admitted he made a mistake.
Shortly after being fired, Toledo was considering taking the offensive coordinator's job at Missouri when Donahue called offering the same job at UCLA. Toledo quickly accepted.
Two years later, he was introduced as UCLA's head coach - his first head coaching job since guiding Pacific to a 14-30 record from 1979-82.
So, after 13 straight years as an assistant, Toledo was back in charge.
"I came away from Pacific with the philosophy, 'Don't take a head job unless you have a chance to win,"' he said. "I was very comfortable being a coordinator."
UCLA's success has brought Toledo a lot of attention - and even some tempting offers to leave, including a recent one from Oklahoma for a lot more money. He turned it down.
Toledo also said he has been contacted by several NFL teams he wouldn't identify, but he prefers to stay put.
Toledo signed a two-year contract extension earlier this year, putting him under contract through the 2003 season at an annual salary of $453,000, less than most Pac-10 head coaches earn. Dalis said a raise is on its way.
"We're working on something," he said. "We need approval from our chancellor. It's not going to be done overnight.
"Bob's happy, he's on board, he's not going anywhere."
Senior center Shawn Stuart said he believes Toledo cares more about "the all-around person" than just the player.
"We'll do anything for him," Stuart said. "He at least listens to what we say. We feel like he respects our opinion. We work for him because we have a lot of respect for him. There's a mutual respect, it's hard to find that."

It seems that the database structure is outdated?
Try another repack or try updating your database
I fixed my last problem. I did not load the 2 extra files into the characters db properly. But now my next problem is getting it set up on a WAN. I am in the of Iraq and the only internet access we have is in a SPAware so we can not get online and play. Is there a guide on how to configure the server to be set up on a wan. If so can you plz hook me up.
Assuming that everyone that will be playing with you is on the same WAN just set the realmlist in the realmd database (or trinitys equivalent) to your local network ip
to get your local ip open a command prompt (start > run > type in "cmd" and press enter")
and type ipconfig
once it displays the data, check under your ethernet adapter for wireless, look at its ip
it should be something like this: 192.168.x.x (make sure it is the ip address, not the default gateway)
set that as your realmlist in the realmd database and have your friends set there realmlist to that
If it doesn't work tell me whats wrong and i'll try to help you out.

LOS ANGELES – Blake Griffin has Timofey Mozgov, Kendrick Perkins and Pau Gasol. And after Sunday night, DeAndre Jordan has Brandon Knight.
"That was the best dunk of the year," Griffin said. "It's the best dunk I've seen in person."
Jordan caught a lob from Chris Paul, cocked back and turned Knight into a trending topic on Twitter with a vicious slam during the Clippers' 129-97 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday at Staples Center.
"It was a great pass by Chris, and honestly, I didn't see Brandon until I caught the ball," Jordan said. "After that, was just, yeah."
Paul described what followed the dunk as "the aftermath." The crowd went nuts as the scoreboard replayed the highlight over and over. The bench nearly rushed the floor, and Paul, usually pretty calm, howled as he slapped Jordan on the chest.
"It was pretty impressive," Paul said. "I usually try not to react after all those different types of dunks, but that one was pretty good."
Jordan and all four other starters finished in double figures, and Matt Barnes scored 16, hitting all five of his 3-point shots.
The 129 points are the most the Clippers have scored in a game this season.
Jordan's dunk wasn't the only highlight Sunday night, with Paul crossing over anyone who got in his way and Griffin dominating in light minutes because of foul trouble.
Griffin led the Clippers with 22 points despite only playing 22 minutes. Paul added 20 and 14 assists, combining with Griffin to shoot 18 of 24 from the field.
The Clippers, like their stars, didn't miss much as a team, hitting 62.5 percent of their shots.
The triumph moves the Clippers a half-game ahead of Memphis for the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference.
The only area of concern Sunday was Caron Butler's health. Butler left the court holding his left elbow during the third quarter. The team said Butler suffered a left elbow contusion. He didn't return to the game.
Butler received an X-ray that didn't show any damage, and Coach Vinny Del Negro said the Clippers' starting small forward would get an MRI today.
Del Negro wants more
Before the Clippers defeated the Pistons, Del Negro talked about all the things his team needed to better.
It wasn't a short list.
"We haven't played well in a while," Del Negro said.
At the time of the comment, the Clippers had won nine of their past 12.
"I know we can play better, and we're going to have to," he said. "That's the frustrating thing. I don't think we've given consistent performances at the level we need to be at."
Del Negro cited a lack of defensive intensity and sputtering offensive executions as areas of disappointment.
"You know when it looks right ...," he said. "We've got to get that edge back. Hopefully, that starts today."
Bledsoe, Crawford sit
Guards Eric Bledsoe (sore left calf) and Jamal Crawford (sore left ankle) didn't play against the Pistons.
Bledsoe was ruled out before tip and wasn't active for the game, while Crawford tried to go through warm-ups before being declared out.
Del Negro said the Clippers would try and use a favorable schedule, with the team playing only twice in the next week, to get players healthy for the final stretch of the regular season — particularly Bledsoe.
"We're going to see if we can get him healthy here," Del Negro said. "He's been battling that thing for a little bit. He hasn't been able to rest it for a long enough."
Maalik Wayns, who signed a 10-day contract with the team Saturday, made his team debut in the fourth quarter, picking up an assist the first time he touched the ball, swinging it to Willie Green for a 3. Wayns played 11 minutes, and had five assists and two points with five fouls. ...
Green came off the bench to score 11 points, his most since Jan. 15.

The weekly WordPress development meeting has been held yesterday and the main discussion was the scope of work for the next major WordPress release, 3.3 expected in mid-November this year. I have to admit that the update is not as exciting as 3.2 was but hey, there's room for bug fixing and minor code and … Permalink
So as anticipated the launch of WordPress 3.2 came last night and not only marked the 4th of July U.S holiday but has also been named "Gershwin" in dedication to the famous pianist and composer George Gershwin. As we've been previewing screenshots of the new version, for those who haven't updated to the new version … Permalink
So after 3 release candidates and much anticipation its expected that WordPress 3.2 will be launched this week or maybe even today. There have been many announcements from WordPress in a run up to the launch but most importantly I'm sure you all know by now that this installation will require you to be running … Permalink

I have an HP ML 310 server running CentOS Linux 5.5. I'm buying a RAID card (LSI 9260-8i) to set up a mirrored OS drive. Right now, the boot drive is set up with GRUB installed on the MBR of /dev/sda & has a 100MB /boot partition for /dev/sda1, then the rest is configured in LVM with a 20GB with a 20GB VG for the root partition & ~80GB VG for home. The new disk sizes will also be slightly larger as well. What is the best way to clone the boot drive to the new CCISS device?
I think you should think more about a full backup/reinstall/restore cycle. You could use DD but the different disk sizes don't help there.
You can also use
Machine to receive the backup (
Machine where the backup is:
I do it often this way:
Have fun.
Since you are using LVM, using LVM snapshots is a good idea. I am not a fan of cloning LVM volumes because the Universally Unique elements that are essential to proper LVM function are no longer that Universally Unique. You never know how much your system will continue running with old and new hardware. I would suggest leveraging LVM's snapshot technology for everything other the your boot volume. Basically, you have VG_existing, and you will have to add your PVs to a new group VG_new, you will create new LVs under this group, and use same exact names as LVs i VG_old. Then you can create a snapshot of each volume in VG_old, and basically do a 'dd' from each snapshot to an identically named volume in your new group. This way you will not have a hobbled LVM configuration, and you can do this with a system live, no need for any real downtime. You will need to adjust grub later, and you are all set.
Am I missing something? There's no cciss device here. cciss generally represents the block devices tied to Compaq/HP Smart Array controllers. The LSI should show up as a /dev/sd[x] device. Either way, I'd recommend the backup, install, restore method here as mentioned in earlier comments.
Some excellent answers here, but I wanted to post my own to document what I did that worked. Most of it can be found Googling easily, but one key step kept me at work late.
With the new, unformatted disks installed (old & new disks in the system), assume /dev/sda is the old disk & /dev/sdb is the new & sda is the boot device. I did this from a CentOS DVD booting to "linux rescue":
The part that had me stumped was mkinitrd, which was necessary because the system disk was behind a new controller & the drivers were not built into the previous initrd image. Without them, it would start to boot but couldn't find the LVM's.

Janeway's Immunobiology (Immunobiology: The Immune System (Janeway)), 8th Edition, Kenneth Murphy
Janeway's Immunobiology is a textbook that introduces the immune system in all its aspects to undergraduates, and also provides a treatment of the subject that is comprehensive enough to be useful to graduate students interested in research, and to medical students focused on clinical applications. The Eighth Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and is available in both print and e-book formats.
Janeway's Immunobiology continues to set the standard for currency and authority with its clear writing style and organization, uniform art program, and scientific accuracy. It presents a consistent point of view throughout—that of the host's interaction with an environment containing many species of potentially harmful microorganisms. The full-color art program is conceptually coherent and illustrates the processes and mechanisms underlying the concepts in the text. The 16 chapters in this readable, accessible textbook are organized and presented in such a way as to help deliver a complete one-semester immunology course, beginning with innate immunity, then moving to adaptive immunity, and ending with applied clinical immunology.
Discussion questions are provided at the end of Chapters 2 to 16. These questions can be used for review, or as the basis for discussion in class or in informal study groups. Summaries conclude each section and each chapter. As in previous editions, a caduceus icon in the margins indicates topics which are correlated to Case Studies in Immunology, Sixth Edition by Geha and Notarangelo.
New in the Eighth Edition
- Innate immunity has been updated and expanded and is now presented in two separate chapters (Chapters 2 and 3), as well as being further emphasized in the rest of the textbook. Chapter 2 covers antimicrobial peptides and the complement system, and Chapter 3 deals with cellular innate receptors and cell-mediated innate immunity (e.g. TLRs, phagocytosis, NK cells, interferon production, innate-like lymphocytes).
- The section on complement has been reworked and reconceived—explaining the lectin pathway first—making it easier to teach by placing it into the context of innate recognition.
- Evolution is now incorporated throughout the text, helping students see similar strategies used by different organisms.
- The text and figures of Chapter 7 Signaling Through Immune System Receptors have been revised to present a cohesive synthesis of signaling for immunology, focusing on improved illustration of antigen recognition signaling and lymphocyte activation. Signaling through other receptors is dealt with wherever appropriate throughout the book.
- Updated chapter on B-cell immune responses (Chapter 10), especially on trafficking of B cells in peripheral lymphoid organs (e.g. lymph nodes) and the locations at which they encounter antigen.
- Coverage of mucosal immunity (Chapter 12) has been brought up to date, including responses to the commensal microbiota and the role of specialized dendritic cells and the regulatory T cells in maintaining tolerance to food antigens and commensal bacteria.
- Chapter 13, Failures of Host Defense Mechanisms, has been reorganized and revised to structure an understanding of primary immunodeficiencies in the context of developmental pathways.
- Chapter 16, Manipulation of the Immune Response, has been heavily revised to include a greater emphasis on clinical issues and a complete update of immunotherapeutics and vaccines.
- Many new and revised figures illustrate the processes and mechanisms underlying the concepts presented in the text.
- The icons used have been updated and expanded to incorporate a new emphasis on signaling pathways.
- New references have been added throughout the text.
I was heavily reliant on this book for an immunology course I took as an elective, and while I am impressed by the amount of research and effort that went into this textbook, I wasn't impressed by the presentation of the content. Sure, this book is very detailed, and its scientific journal-like diction helped me a lot when it came down to reading scientific literature, but the material was written in a very convoluted way.
It seemed like this was meant for a group of students who were already versed in the topic of immunology,somewhat, and not for people who like me were new to the subject. In some chapters the book would begin talking about one system, move on another system and then loop back around to the first system. Chapter divisions were really nice and so were the summaries because it is very hard to skim over this text to review or look for pertinent information. Some information that took 3 pages to explain were was already evident in a preceding diagram, and could have been summarized onto a single page. I definitely learned a lot from reading the book and the illustrations were great, but I felt that getting through a 50 page chapter took a lot of caffeine and will power- that stuff is dense!
There are already many comments on the content, but I wanted to speak to the format of the Kindle Version. First and foremost, the Kindle version is a "print" format which means it will not work on the black-and-white Kindles — not even the new Kindle Paperwhite. It needs to render images so only the Kindle Fire series, PCs, MACs, and iPad are supported. I don't know why the Android systems are not supported — it might be a licensing thing.
Even though this textbook is in "print" format, you will still be able to interact with the text — highlight words, phrases or sentences; use the dictionary; and even add bubble notes.
Zoomed all the way out, the Kindle version looks exactly like the print version. The added features are more like PDF files — you can do a search, copy text and paste from it, highlight, and as already mentioned, add notes (in a bubble style like in Adobe).
I bought the physical printed version and the Kindle version at the same time…after a few days pondering the pros/cons of print versus ebook, I returned the printed version, and committed to the Kindle version. Since I'm an Android tablet user, I'm tied to my home computer or laptop when I want to read, but this is no major inconvenience.
I have four graduate level classes this semester, and no physical textbooks. This is the lightest my backpack has ever been.

Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney held his benchmark interest rate at 1 percent Tuesday, chopping his domestic growth forecast for 2011 and 2012, amid a host of threats including a "brief recession" in the euro zone.
In explaining the decision to leave borrowing costs alone, for a ninth consecutive meeting, as expected, the central bank hinted it is not yet considering an interest rate cut, saying there is "considerable monetary policy stimulus" in Canada and the financial system is working well.
Nonetheless, Carney and his policy team warned that the United States -- Canada's chief export market -- will suffer from weak growth through 2012, and said while there forecast assumes the European debt crisis will be contained, that assumption is "clearly subject to downside risks."
Moreover, in a teaser to a quarterly forecast they will release tomorrow, policy makers significantly downgraded their Canadian growth projections for this year and next, as the gloomier global backdrop affects financial conditions, consumer and business confidence and trade.
While the bank now sees faster growth in 2013 than at the time of its last forecast in July, policy makers said the economy will take until the end of that year to return to full capacity -- compared with its July prediction of mid-2012. Also, inflation will slow before gradually inching back up to the bank's 2-percent target by end of 2013, the bank said.
"The combination of ongoing deleveraging by banks and households, increased fiscal austerity and declining business and consumer confidence is expected to restrain growth across the advanced economies," the central bank said.
"Although Canadian growth rebounded in the third quarter with the unwinding of temporary factors, underlying economic momentum has slowed and is expected to remain modest through the middle of next year."
Carney's decision comes a day before a crucial summit in Europe aimed at stemming the continent's debt mess before it engulfs the financial system there and threatens to cause another global recession. Already, the central bank says the euro zone will experience a short downturn, as belt-tightening measures and the sporadic political response to the crisis squeeze consumers and sap business confidence.
Later this week, leaders from the Group of 20 nations will meet in France to try and stop the slide in investors' faith that they can put the global economy back on more solid footing. (Also at the summit, Carney is expected to be officially tapped to lead the Financial Stability Board, the global body tasked with co-ordinating the overhaul of international banking rules.)
The central bank cut its growth forecast for Canada in 2011 to 2.1 percent from 2.8 percent in July, and sliced its 2012 forecast to 1.9 percent from 2.6 percent. However, policy makers predict a marked improvement in 2013, with the economy growing at a healthy 2.9-percent pace.
Household spending, a linchpin through much of the recovery, will "grow relatively modestly," the bank said, as lower commodity prices and volatility in markets weigh on Canadians and their sense of financial well-being.
Business investment will continue to "grow solidly," the bank said, as firms take advantage of low borrowing costs and a higher currency that makes it easier for them to invest in state-of-the-art machinery and equipment, but will also be "dampened" by the global outlook.
Indeed, softer global demand is occurring at a time when the currency -- which is now hovering around parity with the U.S. dollar again -- is also causing headaches for exporters as they try to crack new markets around the world.
Although Carney and his officials pointed out that there is "considerable" stimulus in place with borrowing costs near historic lows, their inflation forecasts suggest they cannot completely rule out a reduction in borrowing costs. At the very least, they imply that the central bank has the flexibility to leave rates on hold all the way through next year and even into 2013, if necessary.
Despite hotter-than-expected inflation readings in recent months, policy makers said the drop in energy prices since the summer and a slowdown in big emerging markets like China will tame global inflationary pressures, and this will spread to Canada, too.
Canadian core inflation, a measure which strips out items like energy and fresh fruit, will drop through 2012 before returning to target by the end of 2013, the bank said, and total inflation will fall to as low as 1 per cent by mid-2012 before rising.
The central bank, whose next decision is scheduled for Dec. 6, will expand on all of these themes in its full forecast tomorrow, followed by a press conference with Carney and Senior Deputy Governor Tiff Macklem.

A 23-year-old Boy Scout leader from Garden City is facing allegations that he shared child pornography of kids as young as five years old on the Internet this summer.
Edward Orenchuk III was arrested Wednesday and charged with promoting a sexual performance by a child as a sexually motivated felony and possessing a sexual performance by a child.
Nassau County prosecutors said that investigators caught Orenchuk sharing child porn on the Internet in August and September, tracked him to his Wheeler Avenue home and found hundreds of other child porn images on his personal computer while later executing a search warrant.
Orenchuk, a Garden City Public Library employee, is also an Eagle Scout who serves as an Assistant Scout Master with Boy Scout Troop No. 243 in Garden City, authorities said.
He will be arraigned Wednesday at First District Court in Hempstead. He faces up to seven years in prison, if convicted.

This is what I awoke to this morning. Maybe I'm in another dimension or something, but...isn't it May 24th??? My poor potted flowers!
So much for the barbeque we were going to have tonight...I think instead we will have stew and cornbread and maybe some Christmas cookies for dessert. What's even weirder is it's supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow, and 80 on Wednesday! That's why I am so confused. I think Utah is one of the few places where you can go snow skiing and water skiing on the same weekend.
Anyway...market was wonderful! (I kinda forgot to mention I was going...) I have some great pictures to share with you, and I will be posting all about it in the very near future. I didn't exhibit this time, and I'm not gonna lie, it was so nice to just cruise around with Lucy and Chelsea and see what everyone else was doing for a change! The booths were first class, and the fabrics and patterns were FABULOUS! There were some changes with designers moving around...I even have a little announcement to make of my own, but not yet.
First I need to unpack and do my laundry, among other things:)

Just in Time to Spoil My Day...Bohemian Bag DRAMA
Hello Fellow Blogworld friends,
I have just had an extremely upsetting realization that the new printing of my Bohemian Bag pattern has a very unfortunate problem. It seems that when I was pasting the template into the instruction document, I didn't have it at the right resolution, so therefore it is really, REALLY SMALL! HOW I didn't catch it then I will never know. But now that many of these patterns have been sent out into the world, and some folks have already found that indeed there is a problem, I suppose it is just too late to make everything right entirely.
HOWEVER...I am in the immediate process of reprinting the template, and will have it up here on my blog as soon as I can to download. In the meantime, if you have purchased one of the Bohemian Bag patterns in the last 3 months, please email me: firstname.lastname@example.com, and I will send you the new template page as soon as I have it.
In fact...here are the dimensions for you right now, so you can have them to create your own template for this bag, if you like.
It is shaped like a triangle, with both long sides the same length, and the top is cut off.
Here is a picture: Click on it to see it bigger.The way I do it is I make a rectangle 4 1/2" x 13" on heavy paper or template plastic. Then I subtract 1" from each corner at the top edge and connect those points to the bottom corners. Now it is 2 1/2" wide at the top, and 4 1/2" wide at the bottom. That's it. Then cut it out and trace around it on your fabric to cut your pieces.
I am so sorry about this, I really am. It's just about the worst thing that can happen to a pattern designer. Just mortifying.
My sincere apologies to everyone affected! Just email me...we can talk.

A month ago you were introduced to the No Nonsense Attache Bag from Duluth Trading Company (DTC). This bag, like every DTC product tested for this column, looked very promising from the get-go. The following is what I found out about the bag after living with it for the past month.
While it may have seemed like a mixed message, stating that the bag was both slim and generous, it really is. When empty, the No Nonsense Attache Bag is about an inch and a half deep. Despite this, the bag easily gobbles up a rather thick and heavy Dell laptop with no problem and still has plenty of room for a tablet, portable power bank, a couple Moleskine notebooks, and more 8.5 x 11" paper than you'd really ever want to carry around. So, yes, it is small on the outside and big on the inside.
The full-grain cowhide of which this bag is made is the kind that looks and feels better as it gets battered by real world use. Over the last month, the slightest bit of patina has begun to develop, and I'd imagine that this process will continue throughout the life of the bag. The end result will be a personal accessory with an appearance that will be unique to its owner. This is the beauty of soft, full-grain leather.
If you are looking for a great gift for the grad or dad in your life, the No Nonsense Attache Bag certainly fits the bill. It is a handsome, instant classic that is built to last. For more information or to make a purchase, click here.
**Full disclosure: This bag was provided at no cost for editorial consideration, to think otherwise would be unwise.
