For months, you probably saw us advertise the trip to New England on WBKO. When September 29th arrived, the moment had finally come for me and Shelia - along with 27 other South Central Kentuckians - to pack the motorcoach and head out on a 12-day adventure through scenic New England and southern Canada.
Here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures Shelia and I took along the way. This was our first time that far north and was undoubtedly the best trip we've ever taken. The viewers who came with us...along with our tour guide Phyllis Christie of Holiday Vacations and Ken Berg of Ready Bus Lines made this an adventure we will never forget. By the way, there will be more trips to come - hopefully these pics will entice you not to miss the next one!
Crossing the Ohio River from Kentucky into Cincinnati, Ohio. I was singing the WKRP theme song in my head at the time.
I love road trips! Ride a lot, sleep a little, eat a bunch. So happy to be along for the ride. To my left is Joanna Todd from Central City and behind me is Jack Hoeft of Bowling Green.
Our Ready motorcoach driven by Ken Berg (taking care of our bags at our first stop in Washington, Pennsylvania). It was a nice ride and Ken is a pretty awesome driver. The way he navigated through each city, we ended up calling him "The Magic Man".
Here we are having breakfast at the Holiday Inn Washington, PA the next morning. Here I'm chatting with Gary and Linda Taylor of Glasgow.
Here we are about to pack it up to leave Washington, PA for our bus ride to New York City. To my right (in the background) is Joyce Kirby, Sharon Kirby, Earl Kirby, Gary Taylor and Larry Kirby (hidden between Earl and Gary)
The rolling hills of Pennsylvania along the Penna Turnpike. Not much fall color just yet. It's still to come.
Ahh yeah, here we go...some of the first real fall colors start to show along the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
We make a pit stop at a service center along the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I learn a little history about the legendary highway.
Me and Shelia outside the Pennsylvania Turnpike service center.
Our first glimpse of New York City from the Jersey side. It really is that big!
Still on the Jersey side, traffic slows down to a crawl during afternoon rush hour near Hoboken as everyone tries to head home through the Lincoln Tunnel.
From the bus we can see clear across the Hudson River to midtown Manhattan. What a sight!
Lower Manhattan from our bus. It just doesn't look right without the World Trade Center twin towers.
Eight lanes down to two! You think Scottsville Road is bad, imagine going through this every rush hour. It's a tight squeeze into the Lincoln Tunnel!
"Blamin' it all - on the nights on Broadway..." Here we head into the heart of Manhattan and Broadway. You see the sign for "Jersey Boys" to the left. That's the theatre where we saw the award-winning musical the next night. "Jersey Boys" is the story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons and it was the best stage production I've ever seen!
Here is our first adventure down Broadway and into Times Square on our first night in New York City. We were all kidding each other to "not look like tourists" but I think we were pretty obvious.
Wow! This is Times Square in the city that never sleeps. I can see why.
So many people - everywhere! It really makes you feel you're part of something much, much bigger than yourself.
It was time for dinner so we stop at the legendary Roxy's Deli on Broadway. Shelia gets the foot-long hot dog with sauerkraut and potato cakes.
A little blurry...Roxy's Deli sign.
Can I eat it all? I will because it's there. Roxy's open-faced meatball sandwich is my choice.
The next morning we head out for our tour of New York City. One of the first sites we see is a statue of Christopher Columbus.
From the bus I catch a shot of the Metropolitan Opera and Lincoln Center.
They don't call this the "upper west side" for nothing. Some of the most expensive apartments in the world are found here surrounding Central Park.
This is the legendary Dakota Hotel and the site where John Lennon was assassinated.
Remember the movie "Night At The Museum"? This is the museum...the American Museum of Natural History.
Swans at Central Park.
One of the beautiful fountains found at Central Park.
The Italian Gardens at Central Park.
Here is part of our tour group strolling through Central Park. To my right is Curtis Duvall of Bowling Green and to his right Jack Hoeft of Bowling Green.
Here is one of the many historic churches found in Manhattan. I'm not sure which one this is since we were on the bus driving by - but I just had to get a picture of it's incredible beauty!
You may recognize this...the Times Square studios of ABC where "Good Morning America" and other shows are done live. I wished we could have been on GMA but our schedule wouldn't allow it for this trip. Maybe next time.
That's all for Part 1 of our New England trip. In the next installment, more New York City sights including Ellis Island, the Statue Of Liberty, Ground Zero and a subway that goes to Bowling Green?? Stay tuned!

How do I restart the GPU from command line?
Using a HP DV6 laptop with Ubuntu 12.04-64 and an ATI mobile GPU. Installed the standard ATI propriety drivers suggested by Ubuntu. When I close the lid, the computer goes down to suspend mode. When open the lid, everything but the screen resumes again. Just black. I'll guess I have to put a GPU reset script in
/etc/pm/sleep.d. But how do I restart/reset the GPU?

Photo provided by Daughters of Charity -- Glen Golem, Gulf States Region CEO, UnitedHealthcare; and Susan Brady, Daughters of Charity Health Center, St. Cecilia patient and president of the New St. Claude Neighborhood Association-Bywater North. Advocate staff report Aug. 14, 2013; 10:30 a.m. Comments Daughters of Charity Health Centers announced it received a $550,000 grant from United Health Foundation. The grant will support DCHC's Patient-Centered Medical Home Model and Neighborhood Health Partnership program at its Bywater Health Center, 1030 Lesseps St. United Health Foundation awarded the grant during a community event at the site in New Orleans' 9th Ward. The foundation has given nearly $7 million in grants to Daughters of Charity Health Centers since 2006. Daughters of Charity Health Centers' Patient-Centered Medical Home Model, which involves a team of health professionals including physicians, nurse care managers, behavioral health managers and case managers, provides an elevated level of care to residents in the area who face health and social challenges. The model re-establishes the important patient-physician relationship by having patients receive long-term coordinated and comprehensive care from a primary care physician, or "medical home," instead of episodic care from various specialists who are less familiar with their medical history. The Neighborhood Health Partnership is an outreach program that provides health screenings and education and directs people to Daughters of Charity Health Centers for primary and preventive care. Since 2003, United Health Foundation has committed nearly $40 million in funding to community health centers across the country. "We are grateful for the opportunity to continue our long-standing relationship with Daughters of Charity to help ensure all people — regardless of income — have access to health and wellness services they need and deserve," said Glen Golemi, CEO of UnitedHealthcare's Gulf States Region, on behalf of United Health Foundation. The Daughters of Charity has provided access to high-quality, compassionate health care to greater New Orleans residents since 1834. The organization also had health care centers in Uptown, Metairie and New Orleans East, offering primary and preventive health services to all — with special attention to the poor and vulnerable. Optometry, dental, behavioral/mental health, prenatal care, pediatric care, pharmacy and WIC services are also available. United Health Foundation supports activities that expand access to quality health care services for those in challenging circumstances and partners with others to improve the well-being of communities. It was established by UnitedHealth Group in 1999 as a not-for-profit, private foundation, The Bywater clinic is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday.

TC TO LADY HARRIET BARING ; 21 April 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430421-TC-LHB-01; CL 16: 134
Chelsea, Friday, 21 April [1843]
Dear Lady Harriet,
Tomorrow I think of pilgriming on foot to a certain Shrine; the name of it is Addiscombe,1 and it is not the Military College there. I shall arrive all dusty, weary, woebegone; but if the light of your looks fall on me,—and if I had my hands washed,—I shall become quite cheerful again; and stay with you to dinner; and go home, according to the Yellow Ticket,2 at half-past eight,—in an improved frame of mind. It is probably the last I shall see of you—?— For the Book is no longer to be hidden; I have just addressed a copy of it to Stanhope Street,3 and there it will arrive this night!—
If you are to be from home Tomorrow, or in any way engaged, never mind me and my pilgrimages. I shall at least hear the larks sing, see the green face of my old Mother Earth undefaced by soot, once again; discover where you dwell; and return with profit sufficient. The gypsey existence has considerable charms for me; roving in the open air, even with no company but Silence, is not so bad. Indeed I have thoughts of pitching a marquee somewhere on the slope of the Addiscombe Hills, for a week or two, this summer; and there, in perfect savage liberty, "communing with Nature" and some other things! Verily it would be worth trying, even with a brown loaf and well of water for one's diet,—if one had the heart!
Buller4 did not seem to be sure even of Wednesday; but I hope he has got out nevertheless.
The Sun is extremely polite to you, is he not?— If I do not come tomorrow, consider simply that the Demons have run thro' this beautiful project, and that somehow or other I am in the worst luck.— With blessings.
Yours ever /
T. Carlyle

Rated 5 out of 5Â by nancyq Quintessential This is the Christmas nightgown your grandmother used to make for you except better--the flannel is thicker, the print is tasteful, and the heart-shaped buttons are too cute for words.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gal in the granny gown Granny-type gowns are A-Okay I've loved the Lanz of Salzbury Tyrolean prints since I was in junior high. Now I'm retired, so it's been a long love affair. I was first attracted by the prints, but I also like the feminine eyelet trim and the soft warmth of the gown. I start wearing it when the nights turn cold. These nightgowns last and last. February 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by DeeBee Wonderful Nightgown I received this nightgown for Christmas in the Red from my husband. It is awesome! The flannel is thick and warm. The pattern is gorgeousâ¦almost a victorian type of a print. I feel cherished and loved when I put it on. I am covered and warmâ¦it is an expensive looking print.

You cannot go wrong with this gown. Worth every penny. January 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by smileyredhead Great quality, great for nursing babies! I love Lanz's quality, but what I also discovered was how wonderful these nightgowns are for breastfeeding! It is hard to find well-made, warm nightgowns that allow you to nurse without taking off the nightgown (very key during those late night winter feedings with a newborn). Thank you for making such a wonderful product! November 28, 2015

Settle For A Slow-Down
At first glance, the pitching matchup (Slowey vs. Buerhle) for tonight's Twins/White Sox contest seemed like a mismatch. While Buerhle typically owns the Twins, Slowey has no overpowering pitches against a lineup that feasts on sub-par pitchers. This is where the Twins needed Johan Santana to come in and dominate, right?! Think again!
Using his pinpoint control and putting an astonishing amount of movement on his pitches, Kevin Slowey absolutely stymied the White Sox hitters tonight, holding them to just six hits and no earned runs over the full nine innings for a complete-game shutout. Slow-Mo only needed 102 pitches to accomplish this task, as batter after batter swung either underneath his pitches (pop-ups) or on top of them (weak ground balls). No Chicago players (with the exception of Jermaine Dye's long fly to left) made solid contact the entire night.
Offensively, the Twins finally found a way to silence their most nefarious current foe…with the long ball. In the third inning, Denard Span sent a bomb to right field off Buerhle to give the Twins a 2-0 lead, while Morneau soon follow with a two-run shot of his own…this time to straight-away centerfield, a real screamer. In the fifth, Morneau drove in another run with a single, while Brendan Harris doubled late in the game to score two for the 7-0 final.
-Isn't it great to beat Mark Buerhle?! Perhaps the fans were blowing again, huh Mark?!
-It was nice to see Carlos Gomez enter the game in the late innings and get a nice ovation from the fans. Perhaps, in my earlier post today, I underestimated his value as an exciting, fan-favorite. Jason Kubel or Craig Monroe (the outfielders who could replace him if he continues to struggle) don't generate nearly that kind of fan response.
-Are you sure that Brad Radke didn't just go back in time and put his essence in Slowey's body and arm? They are so similar. On one hand, they can struggle mightily if their control is off, but when "on" that type of stuff frustrates batters to no end.
Preview (58-47, 2nd, 1.5 GB CWS): Glen Perkins (7-3, 4.08) vs. Clayton Richard (0-0, 9.00). This pitching matchup is pretty one-sided, but Wednesday and Thursday are another story. Richard is making just is second major league start, while Perkins has been pitching very well of late. Wouldn't it be great to assure at least a split this early in the series?!

Much to my surprise, as co-chair of the Clark County Veterans Memorial Committee, I read in the Oct. 25 Columbian story, "Longtime flag crusade spurs switch," that the flags at the memorial are being moved as per Wally Tharp's request without any response or feedback from the Clark County Veterans Memorial committee, nor any other veterans groups that I know of.
I find this very offensive to our committee.
We spent many years planning the placement of the memorial and flags so that everything was correct. We have fought the movement of these flags for the past 14 years with the supposed support of all concerned veterans, as well as city, county, state, U.S. Army and federal government agencies.
As if Tharp has not caused enough problems with our memorial, he now says, "They should pick it up and turn it," so that fatalities from the earliest conflicts on the memorial would be facing the American flag.
I ask that all veterans from Clark County go down to the memorial and see for themselves the "new" placement of the flags and let your feelings be known to The Columbian, as well as to their veterans organizations.

After spending the early part of its season on the road to places like St. George and Ogden, the Park City High School girls' tennis team finally got to play in front of home fans on Tuesday afternoon at the PC MARC.
The Miners didn't disappoint, cruising to an easy victory over region rival Uintah. Park City coach Tim Donnelly said he was pleased with the way the players instituted a new game plan.
"We've been working on a different game plan with this team that affords us the opportunity to do different things, which is good," he said. "We just want to be more aggressive right off the serve and return of serve doing a little serve volley and chipping and charging when possible."
No. 1 singles player Solveig Karlsen and No. 2 singles player Danielle Lecher both defeated their opponents easily using the new plan of action.
"Solveig and Dani won pretty convincingly," Donnelly said. "I was happy to see both girls fulfill that game plan."
And the success kept coming for the Miners.
"Jessica Santos (No. 3 singles) did the same thing as Dani and Solveig," Donnelly said. "She won quite handily in straight sets."
The No. 1 doubles team of Kylie Schwalbe and McKenna Tychsen also dispatched Uintah quickly.
"They're working on a lot of movement up at net and putting away their volleys," Donnelly said. "That's been the strategy of the whole week."
The match against Uintah was the Miners' first region match of the season.
"We're going to be facing some 4A and 5A schools," he said. "So I think it's going to come down to staying focused. We can't get overwhelmed by big offense and we need to understand that there's a time to be offensive and there's also a time to play defense and maybe let the [opponent's] offense crack and crumble."
Upon returning from St. George, the Miners will have a busy week ahead of them. On Tuesday, they'll travel to Union for their second region match before returning home on Thursday for a match against Morgan, yet another region opponent, at the PC MARC.
Donnelly enjoys the home court advantage the MARC provides PCHS.
"It's great," he said. "We really do appreciate all the parents coming and watching and all the home support. It's fantastic."
Due to construction on the MARC's outdoor tennis courts, some of the JV matches have, and will continue to be held, at the courts at Trailside.
"We're actually using a couple courts out at Trailside because we only have four courts here and Uintah had a team just a little smaller than ours. They have 25 girls and we have 28."
Thursday's home match against Morgan will begin at 3:30 p.m.

08/12/12 - Fit by 40 begins
Sunday, August 12, 2012
So today I officially start my Fit by 40 challenge. In the days leading up to today I have splurged a little to get it out of my system. Yesterday was my first full day to track calories. It was also my first full day without sodas. Based on any given day I have saved myself somewhere between 600 and 1000 calories just there.
I am incredibly embarrassed at how big I have become. I am 10 lbs heavier than the last time I chose to lose weight. I feel like this time, if I keep a blog, and post my pictures on Spark People and Facebook that I am more likely to keep myself accountable to my goals.
I posted my first pictures on to Facebook this morning. I cringe looking at them! I realize that I have spent far too long looking past my weight issues, and using clothing to try to cover up just how heavy I have become.
Today's measurements were as follows:
Weight - 340 lbs
Stomach - 54.5 inches
Waist - 50.5 inches
Thigh - 31 inches
Arm - 18 inches
Neck - 18 inches
Fitness measurements were as follows:
Push ups - 12
Crunches - 15
Where I am at now:
At this time, most of my clothes are tight. My dress shirts pull at the stomach, so much so that I often pop a button out of place when sitting. I am unable to button the neck on most of my dress shirts, and the sleeves have started riding up from pulling in the shoulders. My pants pockets flair out, and belts that used to fit now squeeze uncomfortably when worn. My ties are tied in a single knot, and still often do not reach the bottom of my stomach.
T shirts, undershirts and polos that once draped well, now draw up so that I have to pull them down regularly to keep my lower stomach from being exposed at times. On long drives, my belt buckle digs so deeply into my stomach that it can become quite painful.
I can hike 2-3 miles, and be okay, but find that walking up a few flights of stairs leaves me far more winded than I should be. My weight has caused my snoring to be quite pronounced. I am borderline hypertensive with my blood pressure. My energy level is generally low at the end of the day, and I have taken to falling asleep as soon as 9 to 9:30 on particularly stressful days.
From this point on, I will continue to post weekly updates to both my pictures, measurements and blogs.

Final Box Score | Arizona Overall Stats
FULLERTON, Calif. - No. 6 Cal State Fullerton escaped a potentially disastrous first inning before asserting itself in the middle innings to hold off visiting Arizona, 5-2, on Tuesday night at Goodwin Field.
Winners of six of their last eight games, the Wildcats (22-22) put a run on the board in the first and had the bases loaded with no outs, threatening to shock the Titans early.
Cal State Fullerton starter Kevin Rath did not let the jam bother him, however. After a visit from head coach Dave Serrano, Rath retired the next three batters he faced in order, limiting Arizona to just one run in the inning.
Leadoff hitter Christian Colon homered off UA starter Joe Allision to lead off the home half of the first to even the game at 1-1.
The Titans (33-12) scored a single run in each of the first three innings, including one in the bottom of the third after UA briefly tied the game at 2-2.
The Wildcats were still within striking distance after four innings of play, before Cal State Fullerton opened the game up in the fifth.
Arizona turned to senior Preston Guilmet, who last made a relief appearance at the Wichita Regional in the final game of the 2007 season, to try and hold the game for the later innings.
But Guilmet, who tossed eight innings last Friday, allowed a one-out double to Colon in the fifth. Gary Brown followed with a two-run home run to right field and push the Titan lead to 5-2.
From there, Travis Kelly would take over for the Titans and dominate the Arizona hitters. In three innings of relief, Kelly allowed just one hit and struck out four, before turning the game over to Nick Ramirez in the ninth.
Ramirez, who started the game as the designated hitter for the Titans, struck out all three Wildcats he faced in the ninth to earn his third save of the season.
In the pivotal top of the first inning, Bryce Ortega singled and Dillon Baird doubled to open the inning. After Jett Bandy was hit by a pitch, Brad Glenn delivered an RBI single to left field to stake UA to a 1-0 lead.
But, Steve Selsky, Bobby Coyle and Dwight Childs struck out in order to end the inning and strand a trio of Wildcats on the bases and change the tone for the remainder of the game.
Later, Steve Selsky drove home Baird from third with a sacrifice flyout to left field.
However, Cal State Fullerton answered with a run in the bottom of the third to retake the lead. Josh Fellhauer doubled to lead off and came in to score on a sacrifice flyout by Khris Davis.
That was all the offense the Titans needed to hold off Arizona, which managed just one hit over the final four innings of the game.
The two teams will wrap up the two-game set on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Goodwin Field.

TAMPA, Fla. – Blair Walsh missed a 47-yard field goal in triple overtime and Michigan State held on for a comeback 33-30 win over Georgia before 49,429 at the Outback Bowl in Tampa.
Earlier in OT, Walsh was good from 47 yards. Michigan State's Dan Conroy kicked field goals from 35 and 28 yards in OT as neither team could score a TD.
Spartans took their first lead of the game, 20-19, with 8:22 to play. Michigan State QB Kirk Cousins threw a 50-yard pass to Brian Linthicum to the Bulldogs nine. Two plays later Cousins found Keith Nichol in the middle of the end zone for a nine-yard scoring strike.
Cousins finished 27 of 50 for 300 yards and three interceptions.
The Bulldogs led 27-20 with 1:38 to play on QB Aaron Murray's 13-yard pass to Brandon Boykin. But the Spartans' Le'Veon Bell's one-yard run sent the game into overtime. Bell had 51 yards on 17 carries.
Michigan State scored twice in the third quarter to pull within two points.
Spartans avoided the shutout with Bell's eight-yard score. The two-point conversions, a Cousins' pass to Linthicum was good.
On Georgia's next possession Marquez Dennard picked off Murray for six points. Michigan State went for the tie, but this time the two-point conversion failed.
Murray was 20 of 32 for 288 yards and two interceptions.
Boykin returned a punt 92 yards for a TD with 1:39 to play in the half setting a Georgia record for longest in a bowl. Boykin was named the game's MVP.
Georgia opened up a 9-0 first half lead with 3:06 to play. Murray threw an 80-yard scoring pass to Tavarres King. King has 205 yards in receptions on six catches.
The Bulldogs got on the 26th annual Outback Bowl scoreboard early. Boykin tackled Martin Keshawn for a safety after he caught a pass from Cousins on the Spartans' first play from scrimmage.
For the first time since the Vanderbilt game in 2010, Georgia registered a safety. It was set up after senior Drew Butler booted a 51-yard punt, downed by sophomore Blake Sailors at the three-yard line.
The Spartans made a key defensive stop midway through the first quarter, following the safety. Georgia had marched to the Michigan State five and faced a fourth and one when the Spartans' Denicos Allen hit Ken Malcome for a one-yard loss behind the goaline.
Leading 16-0 at the half, it was the first time since game three against Coastal Carolina on Sept. 17. the Bulldog defense blanked its opponent in the first half.
Also in bowl history, it was the first time since the 1998 Outback Bowl when Georgia posted a first-half shutout, leading Wisconsin 19-0 en route to a 33-6 victory.
After two quarters Cousins was 9 of 15 for 68 yards. Murray was 13 of 16 for 185 yards going into the intermission.

Skip to comments.Investigative book about "Babygate", Sarah Palin's faked pregnancy with Trig, about to be published
Posted on 05/16/2011 11:53:09 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
click here to read article
How in the Hell does one Publish Lies like this without being sued for millions?? Christ they would need a over sized mailbox for the daily flow of court papers.
birther, is about to be expropriated by folks as nutty as you are! And evil as well as deluded!
My mother was just under 5', and weighed under 100 pounds. She never needed maternity clothes for any of her three pregnancies. I'm 5'7" and was bigger then Demi Moore. . .so in this case, "size doesn't matter". . .!!
I really hope they push this. This will be the last straw with all the weight of evidence out there, and this will make everyone but the true believers turn on the attackers. There's just some things that if you go after people on you better have it down pat or the blowback will kill you.
This is not humorous, and I see no reason to give it any more attention here at FR than it is already getting wherever it was published.
Who wrote this book? FR's own now banned pissant? We have a neighbor who had a child with Downs syndrome in her mid 40s.
No. A bunch of Palin haters have been writing online "proofs" that Palin faked her pregnancy over the past year. Now they are going to put it in book form to use as a cash cow. There are lots of angry Palin haters who will buy this garbage.
It is horse shit if this BS is allowed bandwidth on FR.
RE: Who wrote this book?
Didn't the article say it was a guy named Geoffrey Dunn?
Andrew Sullivan comes to mind.
It looks photoshopped to me.
According to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the chances of having a baby with Down syndrome increase with the age of the mother, many health care providers recommend that women over age 35 have prenatal testing for the condition.
I thought maybe. I hope experts look into that.
Liberal Democrats - The *ORIGINAL* birthers.
Nuttier than squirrel poo, and squirrellier than Gere poo.
They show more concern over a where a Down's Syndrome baby came from ...
...than the democrat candidate who refuses to provide proof of his own birth, adoption records, and college records...
Me thinks it is time to shove the timber right on through their eye to be sure they realize it is there obscuring their vision!
The other "birthers."
As crazy as it seems ...stuff like this makes me think of Israel and Revelations 12.
Where the woman gave birth to a male child, who would rule with an iron scepter and was snatched up to God ...away from the dragon and the woman sent to the protected place God prepared for her in the desert.
Their viciousness is just evil in my sight. Why does this child matter to them so much that even now they try to destroy his mother and him?
IIRC, these idiots, or some like them tried this back in the '08 elections. Sarah writes about it in Going Rogue. Her OB/GYN has already debunked this with a statement, and an affidavit that was entered into the record during the McCain run.
I'm not 100% sure of my details, and need to go back through the book for the exacts, but I am sure this has been dealt with, and publicly.
The other point of fact that destroys their assertion is this; Wouldn't Bristol have performed some sort of miracle, having the 2 children so close together?
The thing that makes me want to beat the crap out of these people is the suggestion that Todd committed incest with his daughter. Todd is one of the most decent and gentle men I have ever heard about. He loves and cherishes his family above all else, and would protect them with his life. To imply, or out right accuse Todd of this, well let's just say I wouldn't want to be one of these people should she decide not to run. I have a feeling Todd will be paying them a visit, and it won't be a social call.
I was just getting an extra smack at the Palin hating pissant.
I had to go into the hospital in Rome in 1977. Washington sent an old pal of mine over to cover for me. He brought his wife and kids over (on his dime). After I got out, I went to the hotel where they were staying. His wife, a beautiful Philadelphia woman, a former model, came down to the pool every day, wearing a bikini. She was seven months pregnant at the time and not a soul knew. ((The kid, BTW, is now a USNA grad.))
Does anyone else see the contradictory claims in this article?
My question is:
How could Sarah Palin be "faking" a pregnancy to claim parentage of Trig, if she didn't look pregnant?
Their logic escapes me.
It's not hard to see horizontally stretched fabric where vertical draping a blouse would be on a trim, non-pregnant woman.
where the vertical draping of a blouse
What you're saying, Chris, is that there's no honor among dweebs, yes?
Go to the second photo down on this thread. It is the enlarged area of Sarah's tummy. Click on that photo and it will go to a larger view of the photo. Hit your "Ctrl" button at the same time, scrolling your mouse wheel. It will change the enlargement of the photo. Enlarge to maximum value. Use the arrows to get to the area where the lapel meets with Sarah's dark blouse. You will see a fuzzy, pixtilated area in that area where the lapel meets with the blouse. Move up and down that area. You will see the pixtilated area get wider and abruptly get smaller. This is evidence of photo shopping my friend.
Is THAT quote from the article? Total nonsense. The cases are totally the opposite. Don't know any teens/young women that have had Down's Syndrome children. Know 3-4 women that had late-in-life babies with DS, even a case where one twin had Down's and the other did not.
Oh Lord this is hilarious.
I never want to hear a liberal talk about The Crazy in reference to right-wingers again.
Yeah - book suppositories affect my spine...
I still think Business Insider "articles" should be posted as blog entries, not news. This story just adds credence to that thought.
Meanwhile, the article pretty much gives the ultimate debunking of the stupid conspiracy. Bristol Palin WAS PREGNANT when Trig was born. Sorry, but there's no way you can give birth to a kid while you are pregnant with a new kid. It is a scientific impossibility.
And apparently, whoever compared pictures is completely clueless as to the nature of pregnancy and how different body types carry babies in different ways. And also apparently clueless about all the stories about girls giving birth who nobody ever knew were pregnant, even after they give birth.
Why? how does her parentage of a child have anything to do with anything?
Maybe someone should ask Obama to prove his kids are his. After all, he actually IS president, and his kids are getting public housing and taxdollars paying for secret service — so there is MORE of a reason for Obama to "prove" that those kids are his.
But nobody will EVER ask him to prove his kids are his, because the whole idea is STUPID.
Now, if you find the statistics for Down's children born to a 20-year-old, that might be relevant.
I didn't know pissant had been banned. So I learned something here.
I see he got canned in a birther argument. Although he seems to have fallen on the sword of arguing to strongly for a rape exception for abortion, defending Allen West who was actually asking to move focus away from the birther arguments.
It's a strange world. I never would have guessed pissant would get banned for an abortion argument.
Um, are you having reading comprehension problems? Bad case of the Mondays?
I wrote (in the post you responded to):
Maternal age influences the chances of conceiving a baby with Down syndrome. At maternal age 20 to 24, the probability is one in 1562
It's right there, in black and white. A 20 year old has a 1:1562 chance of conceiving a Down Syndrome baby.
There was absolutely no need for you to take an insulting tone. If you wanted a different piece of information, or clarification, you could have asked nicely.
I didn't mean the tone to be insulting, I apologize for that.
But the remark stands. Your comment made the point that looking at probabilities didn't tell the whole story.
You then said "Although the probability increases with maternal age, 80% of children with Down syndrome are born to women under the age of 35,"
What you need to make that point is what percentage of children with down syndrome are born to 20-year-old girls, NOT the percent of children born to 20-year-old girls who have downs syndrome. Although if we had the number of births to 20-year-old-girls, we could figure out the other thing.
My point was that, while it is more likely that a downs syndrome child was born to an under-35 mother than an over-35 mother, what we want to know is whether it was more likely a down syndrome child was born to a 20-year-old or a 40+ year-old.
It's really your point, focused on the actual situation.
"One witness did see the live birth at a grassy knoll."
He wasn't one of those accidental deaths by karate chop to the neck, was he?
No, pissant got banned for making a lesbian remark about Sarah Palin.
That's interesting. I didn't even interpret his remark that way — I thought he was just bringing up that Tammy was her friend and the whole incident about whether Sarah supported Tammy's tweet or not regarding DADT.
I guess my mind isn't purile enough to get that without it being pointed out.
It's funny since pissant was, for the most part, against Sarah because he was sure she was too liberal, as were most candidates.
Oh well, there go half the Duncan Hunter supporters. :-)
My fault, I dish out a lot of sarcasm myself and should have caught that.

I have a question about Singular Value Decomposition.
Is it necessary for the orthogonal matrices used in the factorisation to have their determinants$=1$?
I ask because I attempted to decompose a matrix and it did not come out equal. I then multiplied one of the eigenvectors (one of the rows) of $V^T$ by $-1$, thus changing the sign of the determinant, and everything worked out.
Everything else seemed to be in order, so the determinant changing from $-1$ to $1$ seems to me to be the cause of the correction.
For some reason, I see a connection between this problem and the fact that we take the absolute value of the determinant in the formula for change of variables for multivariable integration.
Any explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Henrik Zetterberg scored a third-period natural hat trick Wednesday night, helping the Detroit Red Wings come from behind to earn a 3-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Chris Osgood stopped 22 of 23 Columbus shots, keeping the Red Wings in the game after a slow start.
After outshooting Detroit 8-3 in the first period, the Blue Jackets opened the game's scoring on a power play at 7:05 of the second, with Manny Malhotra banging a loose puck past Osgood.
Zetterberg would begin his run at 6:43 of the third period on a rush from his own blue line. He came down the left wing and cut to the middle before crossing the Columbus blue line and splitting the defense, poking the puck between the pads of Fredrik Norrena.
With just 1:54 remaining and the Red Wings on a power play, Nicklas Lidstrom fired from the blue line. It was deflected to Pavel Datsyuk at the edge of the slot, who slowed it up and threw it to the left circle where Zetterberg put a shot into the open side of the net.
Zetterberg completed his hat trick just 35 seconds later, stealing the puck at center ice and racing in alone on Norrena. The Columbus netminder came out to challenge and Zetterberg skated around him, putting it into the empty net.
Norrena finished the night with 24 saves on 27 shots.
Both teams scored one power play goal. Columbus had seven chances with the extra attacker and Detroit had five.
The Red Wings are back in action on Thursday when they visit the Nashville Predators.
Notes: Detroit defenseman Derek Meech played as a forward, replacing the injured Valtteri Filppula.
We've got lineup fun in tonight's matchup with Columbus.
Osgood gets the start, Hasek wasn't ready on Sunday and isn't ready now so Dom is the backup.
Downey is back in and Helm, who was briefly sent back to GR, is also in. Draper, Holmstrom, and McCarty still aren't ready.
Defensive pairings are Lidstrom-Rafalski, Kronwall-Stuart, and Chelios-Lebda. Lilja will sit and will be the only defenseman sitting.
For those of you doing the math, that does mean that Meech will be in. But why isn't he listed in the defensive pairings? He'll be playing up front.
No idea who the extra guy out is, since Downey and Helm should make for 12 forwards.
Meech playing as a forward you say? Sounds interesting to me. This should be a pretty good game, although i'm not a big fan of divisional games outside of Chicago. The other teams simply don't excite me as much.
Because Dr. Fil is out ),:
I hope he makes it back for his birthday tomorrow.
Oh well, at least it comes with the plus side of Helm playing Someone needs to make a cool name for him x]
First penalty to the Wings, didn't catch for what or who.
I'd like to see Franzen extend his point streak (knock on wood!. And, hopefully a WIN.
Weird officiating already, I don't like the interference call on Downey but then they go and miss the too many men call on Detroit.
That was in! Show the replay!
Looked like it! My brother agrees. Are they going to a replay? Or are they being biased/ignorant again? HAH! This reminds me so much of our floor hockey team in PE!
What a beaut!
AND THE LORD HAS ANSWERED OUR PRAYERS; we all sing hurrah hurrah!
The Wings are back in the game on a stellar shot by Zetterberg, and lots of attempts as I type.
edit;;Hahaha! I posted in the wrong forum, totally sorry Dx But this is a good message, I'll leave it up. Actually, delete it, I won't mind. XD Plus it doesn't make sense at all.
Brilliant pass by Datsyuk on Zata's PPG. Smart, calm play.
Norrena complaining about interference when Osgood got outright runover earlier. EABOD.

Lux Art Institute has a different approach to the museum experience. They work to make art more personal for the people viewing it. They have a residency program, which brings all sorts of different artists to Lux where they not only show previous works of art, but also create new ones. Visitors leave with a greater appreciation of the artists as a whole and the process that they go through to create a work of art.
Lux's newest artist in residence is Marcus Kenney, who reflects themes of poverty, social alienation and injustices in the pieces that he creates. He works predominantly with found objects that he collects from the areas that he works in.
"I think that as a visual artist I'm influenced by everything I see in my surroundings ad most of my work is based on materials and very little paint," says Kenney. "One of the things I proposed to them was that I wanted to go to thrift stores and get items from the area."
While at Lux Kenney will be creating an interpretation of "The Tower of Babel" by Brueghel. Kenney will be in residence for a month, while he completes the painting and then the gallery show will be open for another month as well. Visitors to the exhibit will be able to watch as Kenney creates his painting, which is something that he hasn't done before.
"I think that's the cool thing about being an artist, you get to do things like this and put yourself in situations that you've never been in before."
The gallery also features a collection of his other works of art spanning from the year 2004 right up until some taxidermy sculptures that he created last year. In his past projects he has used found objects such as vintage grocery store stamps that he found in an old dresser, old checks, cigar labels and even pages out of children's coloring books.
"I use paper as brush strokes. I do layering and creating patterns to create a story. I'm going to do that approach for the Tower of Babel, I'll layer the whole back of it with checks."
After Kenney leaves Lux and returns home to Savanna, his first project will be creating four life-sized horses. The project will take months to complete and will be the last time that he works with taxidermy sculptures. Some of his other sculptures can be viewed here.
Marcus Kenney's gallery show will be at Lux until Feb. 8, but his exhibit will be on display until Mar 8. Visit Lux Thursdays and Fridays from 1 to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

|The impact of instruction on second-language implicit knowledge: Evidence against encapsulation
|Paul D. Toth
|Temple University
|Pedro Guijarro-Fuentes
|Universitat de les Illes Balears
|Linguistic Field:
|Language Acquisition; Psycholinguistics
|Subject Language:
|This paper compares explicit instruction in second-language Spanish with a control treatment on a written picture description task and a timed auditory grammaticality judgment task. Participants came from two intact, third-year US high school classes, with one experiencing a week of communicative lessons on the Spanish clitic se (n = 15) and the other exposed to se only incidentally (n = 20). Explicit instruction consisted of grammar rules with sentence-level examples, followed by communicative tasks. Three test versions were administered within a split-bloc design as a pretest, immediate posttest, and delayed posttest 6 weeks after instruction. The instructed group increased targetlike uses of se on both tasks and sustained gains through the delayed posttest, although first-language transfer errors persisted. Meanwhile, overgeneralization errors centered on semantic and syntactic contexts similar to the instructional object, aligning with the unergative–unaccusative distinction among intransitive verbs. It is argued that the data provide evidence for the permeability of second-language implicit knowledge to explicit instruction and against total encapsulation as a model of the mind.

WASHINGTON — U.S. manufacturing grew last month at the fastest pace in 10 months. New orders, production and a measure of hiring all rose.
The strength at U.S. factories suggests the economy is healthier than recent data had indicated. That's a hopeful sign ahead of Friday's report on hiring in April.
The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said today that its index of manufacturing activity reached 54.8 in April. That's the highest level since June and up from 53.4 the previous month. Readings above 50 indicate expansion.
The report exceeded analysts' expectations. A measure of employment in the ISM's survey rose to a 10-month high. This showed that factories are still hiring at a solid pace.
A gauge of new orders jumped to its highest level in a year. That could signal faster production in the coming months. Export orders also rose, which could offset worries that weaker economies in Europe and China could drag on U.S. exports.
Awwww ... those AP writers look sooo cute in their cheerleading outfits.
You seem upset that the economy has turned around.
Is it that you are afraid the current President has turned a very unstable economic crises from 3 years ago into a much more productive job market?
Ah, so true Avg -- none of us yearn for the days of gas being $1.89 and unemployment of only 5%. (brb, gonna get you some more Kool-Aid)
Ah, the results of the House Republicans putting a stop to the out of control democrat/liberals during Oblama's first two years.
Recall that OweBlama's stimulus package increased unemployment from 7% to 9% in his first two years when the democrat/liberals were running D.C.
But JME I keep reading the stimulus package was Bush's doings. It was under Bush when unemployement started getting higher and higher. It just took some time to fix the BUSH disaster he left the country in.
3 years after Bush is gone, most are not affraid of losing their jobs like they were.

Di Canio reacts post-Fulham
by SAFSee
Head coach speaks following first game of new season.
Paolo Di Canio cut a disappointed figure as he reflected on the opening-day defeat to Fulham.
Pajtim Kasami scored the only goal in the early stages of the second half as Sunderland suffered a 1-0 reverse despite having the majority of the possession and chances.
"It's disappointing, for 80 minutes we were in Fulham's half and the only corner that they had has cost us the game," he said.
"We left a man free at the post and gave away a silly goal.
"I need to see more ferocity from my players, the way we played satisfied me as there was only one team in the game."
He added: "We need to adjust a few things but we are a team capable of doing that."

Artworks by Daniel Adams will be on display at Arkansas State University-Beebe in the England Center Art Gallery now through Friday, Oct.18.
The exhibit Global Observer is printmaking and woodcut artworks that are based on the artist's extensive travel and observation of the world. Adams was inspired by the different cultures of North America, Europe, Africa, New Zealand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Singapore, which are represented in the prints. All pieces are original woodcut prints, with the exception of seven pen and ink drawings from his time in South East Asia.
Adams is a professor in the Department of Art and Design at Harding University, where he has taught since 1991. He teaches printmaking, graphic design, art history and visual arts. Adams uses printmaking, and woodcut, in particular, as a natural way of expression. "I am particularly fascinated with the way architecture speaks of human presence even with the absence of human figures in the works," said Adams. Furthermore, Adams explained that there is a dialog between the artist and the medium … with an ongoing give and take for each to survive and flourish.
The ASU-Beebe Art Department is located in the England Center, where basic art classes are taught in design, drawing, painting, and ceramics. The graphics design coursework focuses on practical foundations in graphic illustration, photography and color theory. Several studio classrooms are equipped with lighting and specially-suited equipment, as well as a covered outdoor patio for students in ceramics to explore alternative firing techniques.
ASU-Beebe is the only two-year college in the state of Arkansas that offers an Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) degree. The AFA degree has an emphasis in graphic design or creative arts enterprise. This degree is a comprehensive two-year curriculum designed specifically for transfer toward a bachelor's degree in fine arts.
The England Center Art Gallery displays art pieces on modular walls, which are more versatile for exhibitions. The gallery sponsors four to five exhibits each year, featuring various art professionals. This past summer, former students Mary Shelton and Cynthia Delahunt displayed their artworks, and recently the gallery had the first alumni exhibit.
The current exhibit Global Observer may be viewed at the England Center Art Gallery, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The gallery is located at the corner of Center and Orange Streets in Beebe. For more information, call (501) 882-4495.

Rated 4 out of 5 by knt1 Eleanor rug The black rug has amazing colors that pop on a black background. For the two weeks it has been in my sunroom, it seems to snag easily, but it is so pretty I am willing to live with this. I will choose something different for a high traffic area next time. July 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tkros Beautiful but faded The rug is beautiful and was very vibrant when I first received it. However it has faded and is now much more muted. The rug is in a outdoor covered area with some morning sun. I have had the rug for about 4 months now. August 27, 2012

There is a certain beauty in the graceful curves of the female bodywhether the photographer emphasized her beauty or her body, her sensuality or sexuality, or her passion or perversioneach is as perfect and graceful as the next.
Eyes. Lips. Breasts. Legs. Shoulders. Bellies. Butts. Feet. All individually sensual, yet all just a small part of something much greater.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.
And please remember, each of these females are human beings, with thoughts, feelings, and minds of their own. Be respectful of that.

Nelson Gutierrez's most recent work "The Death of Fear"
is made up of more than 100 ink and pencil individual
drawings on paper. It follows the latest social uprisings that
have taken place worldwide. He is intrigued with the manifestations
and in some cases the revolutions that we have
witnessed in the past 3 years. He has selected images from
different countries, from the Arab Uprising to the streets of
Venezuela, where the social malaise is palpable. Individuals
have lost their fear of governments and establishments
and take to the streets to demand change. Irrespective of
whether or not we agree with the uprisings, when we see
images of the demonstrations, they look strikingly similar
around the world.
The work is an investigation on visual perception, media
and the relationship between them. It looks at the connection
between individual and collective identity; passive spectators
versus active engagement. Each individual drawing
isolates one subject, focusing on fragments excerpts from
the broader context in which they may inevitably get lost; it
focuses on people who are likewise passionately engaged.

About LSA
Since 1841, the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) has been the heart of The Michigan Difference, educating young leaders through a rich liberal arts curriculum and creating new knowledge through world-class research and scholarship.
What does that mean exactly?
It means that we offer more than 100 degree programs in over 75 academic departments and programs. It means that we have one of the largest alumni networks in the world with 200,000 living LSA graduates. It means we consistently have a first-year retention rate of over 95%. And it means that 90% of our seniors go on to enter the workforce or attend graduate school.
Former U-M President James B. Angell said Michigan provided "an uncommon education for the common man." As the largest college at U-M, with more than 40 top-ranked programs, LSA continues that tradition of educational excellence.
Every LSA program is among the best in the U.S.
More than 40 are among the top 10, and 5 programs are the best in their fields.
- In 2012, U-M was ranked 18th among the best universities in the world by The Times of London
- As the primary undergraduate college, LSA is the reason U.S. News & World Report ranks U-M as one of the top 10 universities for undergraduate teaching
- The 2011 Newsweek college rankings placed U-M 7th among schools graduating future politicians, 15th among schools for computer geeks, 16th for top schools among CEOs, 24th among most desirable urban schools, and 25th among the most gay-friendly schools
- See our complete list of ranked academic programs
This isn't just a classic liberal arts college.
Hands-on, practical learning and leadership opportunities are at the core of the LSA experience.
- LSA's Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program has been ranked the best program of its kind in the U.S.
- LSA offers more than 70 study abroad programs spanning six continents. (We'd do all seven, but Antarctica is really, really cold.)
- U-M was ranked 11th on the Newsweek list of the top 100 global universities
- The College supports off-campus learning through internship programs, the U-M Biological Station in northern Michigan, the New England Literature Program, and more.
- First and second year students can enroll in LSA's highly regarded Honors Program; upperclassmen in any major can write an honors thesis.
LSA professors are global leaders in their fields.
And they bring that expertise into the classroom, which is why U-M is consistently ranked as a top teaching university.
- LSA has had 10 MacArthur "Genius Grant" Fellowships since 1988, including two in 2011: Tiya Miles (Afroamerican & African Studies) and Melanie Sanford (Chemistry)
- In 1999, the Nobel Prize was awarded to Professor Emeritus Martinus Veltman (Physics)
- The College has had two Carnegie Foundation/CASE professors of the year since 2005: Brian Coppola in 2009 (Chemistry) and William "Buzz" Alexander in 2005 (English)
- For more on our exceptional faculty, download the complete LSA Profile(PDF)
"I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am to take on this important leadership role at the University of Michigan. The liberal arts are vitally important to society, and I look forward to working with my new colleagues to build on the extraordinary strengths of LSA."
Andrew D. Martin
Professor of Political Science and Statistics
and Dean of LSA

can I ask a series of questions for my school paper?
I am doing a paper for my child studies degree, and I need to find a excellent early childhood center and ask them these questions for my paper. How many children? At what ages? how are children grouped? How many staff work there? What is the classroom ratio of adults and children? What is the program's philosophy? What type of program is it? publicly funded, private, corporate, non-profit, religious, etc. I would greatly appreciate if you could send me this information so I can finish my paper since I chose your center to do it own, cause I have heard such great things about your facility. Thank you for your time.In Topics: Back to school, Jobs/Careers

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - No. 25 Memphis (7-3, 3-0 C-USA) scored two second half goals and held off East Carolina (6-5, 2-1 C-USA) 2-0 on Friday at Mike Rose Soccer Complex.
The Lady Tigers secured their fifth-straight win, while the Pirates had their three-game win streak snapped. East Carolina hit iron three times in the match with two shots bouncing off the posts and one off the crossbar, but Christa Strickland made three big saves to secure her first career shutout.
Carly Cassady sparked the Lady Tigers' offense as she set up a goal for Christabel Oduro. Cassady dribbled down the left side and served a cross inside the six-yard box, where Oduro was able to touch it past the Pirate keeper Christiane Cordero for her eighth goal this season.
Emily Adamic gave the Lady Tigers a 2-0 lead with her first career goal in the 64th minute. Memphis received a free kick on the right side of the 18-yard box and Natalia Gomez-Juncosent the free kick into the six-yard area where Adamic got the touch past the keeper for the goal.
With 11 minutes remaining, East Carolina hit iron for the first of three times as Kelly Johnson rocketed a shot that clanked off the crossbar before the Tigers cleared it out. Trailing 2-0, East Carolina nearly cut the lead in half off a free kick from 35 yards away. Danielle Romano played the kick and sent it directly toward the goal, but the shot found the left post and the Tigers kept the 2-0 lead. In the first half, Hali Oughton hit the right post with a shot.
East Carolina was quick to attack the Memphis defense, earning a corner kick 54 seconds into the match. The corner didn't result in a shot, but the Pirates remained on the attack as Kelly Miller had the first shot on goal in the ninth minute.
Memphis had their chances as well, racking up 11 first half shots, but with just two on goal. Off a U of M corner in the fourth minute, Marissa Duguay put a header on frame, but an East Carolina defender standing on the goal line headed the shot away for the team save. In the 38th minute, Memphis sent a barrage of three shots toward the net with Cordero making one save and the Pirates defense blocking the other two.
The Pirates will travel to UAB on Sunday, Sept. 30 for a 2 p.m. (ET) start.
