"After I lose, I will smoke as many cigarettes and drink as much beer as I want!" (Hogan)Remember the cereal commercial where the brothers would push their new Life cereal bowl to their younger brother Mikey because they didn't like the looks of the new cereal?. And then after Mikey went for his second spoonful, his brothers would yell, "he likes it, he likes it." So basically Mikey was the test dummy for anything his brothers didn't want to sample. Well, that's who former welterweight title holder Ricardo Mayorga has become. Mayorga is Mikey, and you only fight him when you need a win with a little window dressing. Because you know he'll go for it.
Nine years have passed since the "Managua Maniac" Ricardo Mayorga 29-7-1 (23) burst onto the scene stopping Andrew "Six Heads" Lewis to capture the WBA welterweight title. Shortly after that Mayorga entertained the press and fans by smoking cigarettes in the ring and at the press conference for his next bout against WBC welterweight title holder Vernon Forrest.
Mayorga went on to stop and decision Forest in two fights. And since his victory over Forrest in the rematch, Mayorga has been a terrific rodeo clown and a 4-4 fighter. And yet because he has the connection (Don King is his promoter) he's getting the opportunity to fight WBA junior middleweight title holder Miguel Cotto 35-2 (28) on March 12th. It should be a solid win for Cotto since Mayorga is perceived to be a threat and is well known to boxing fans.
Cotto and Mayorga couldn't be more different. Cotto is the complete pro and comports himself with class before and after his bouts, win or lose. No doubt Mayorga isn't the loose cannon he tries to portray himself as being, but there's no way he takes boxing that seriously. If Mayorga beats Cotto he'll earn another payday. And if he loses, he'll wait for the phone to ring hoping some promoter needs a name and a little free publicity for his fighter on the way up or a name fighter who needs a win coming off a recent defeat.
Mayorga has become the perfect opponent to use for any fighter who's trying to stabilize their career or needs a name fighter to come back against after a layoff. Cotto is the first fighter to use him as a stepping stone to keep his title while he waits for a potential mega fight down the road. Amazingly Mayorga is a live dog against Cotto because of the style clash between the two. What a shame it would be for Miguel Cotto if Mayorga landed one of the lottery punches he'll be launching and knocked him out.
At the press conference to announce the fight Mayorga didn't disappoint. "My pants are up higher than Cotto's. I'm going to be the man, and Cotto will be the woman," said Mayorga, 37. "On March 12, Puerto Rico is going to be dressed in black for your funeral. I can see fear in your eyes."
That was exactly what the promotion needed. Cotto has a large following and they'll be sure to buy the fight on Showtime PPV hoping to see Miguel administer Mayorga the beating they feel he has coming his way. And it wasn't lost on Cotto's behalf that Mayorga has lost and been knocked out by almost every upper-tier fighter he's faced since he beat Forrest in their rematch, and that was a very controversial decision victory for Mayorga. Actually, Mayorga's only notable win since he fought Forrest came against Fernando Vargas in what turned out to be Fernando's last fight. Prior to that, Mayorga was stopped by Felix Trinidad, Oscar De La Hoya and Shane Mosley, something Cotto reminded him of.
"When you spoke earlier, I kept my mouth shut, now you remain quiet. I am a professional and with these tiny pants and these tiny hands I beat Shane Mosley. Do you remember Shane Mosley? You are a joker and a clown. All your career you have run off at the mouth and in all the big fights you've failed. Just so you know who I am, I am a three-time world champion."
It's hard to imagine anyone pulling for Mayorga to beat Cotto. Since he turned professional, Miguel has been the ultimate pro. As a fighter, he's a class above Mayorga every day of the week. However, Miguel is hittable and can be hurt by fighters who can punch. And Mayorga can punch and has nothing to lose and will be looking to win by knockout with every punch he throws. Most likely Cotto's trainer Emmanuel Steward will have Cotto boxing and picking his spots early in the fight while Mayorga's emptying his tank. Once and if Mayorga slows down, Miguel will start unloading the heavy artillery and look for the mid to late round stoppage.
That said, if you're a Cotto fan, you'll be watching the fight holding your breath because even though Mikey is 4-4 in his last eight fights, he has a legitimate puncher's chance to pull off the upset and beat Cotto. That or he'll take a one-sided shellacking before he lights up his next cigarette and waits for the phone to ring again.

Enough with this clown. I hope after Cotto knocks the fudge out of Mayorga,he shines him Off !! Respect is something he needs to earn. Cotto is got too much class to that. Cotto will outclass him, knock him out and go to his corner to make sure he is all right.
Ditto da TSS masterweaving scribe F-Lo. Mayorga is no doubt "The Mikey of professional boxing," and a bit of a crash dummy. Da sucka rides into challenging champs and contenders mucho times, but always ends up getting smashed up like a test automobile crash dummy. [He drives into hard punches after hard punches. KaPOW!!!] Maybe Mayorga should join the automakers crash-dummy operations. He looks fit for the part. And, Golly! Oh, Miss Molly! He really plays that part in that squared jungle. Da sucka doesn't monkey around, he just zoom into shots and gets beatdown. Then KABOOM! CRASHES like mutha-lemon car low on petro and loud on motor-engine noise! Holla!
I aint payin to watch Mayorga get what I know he's gonna get. He's been KOed before and he's gonna get KOed again. Why would anyone pay for this BS when you could just turn on HBO and watch the Middleweight Champ?
@the Roast, fans and fanfaronades pay because they can, or they are like drunks. They gotta get dat buzz, BABBBBEEEEEEE! I've be in Vegas looking at the bout FREE, after taking a timeout from my gambling table. Holla!
with no doubt Mayorga has only bring gasoline to Cotto's heart. That is perfect before facing Margarito who thinks constant pressure can make him win the fight again but hey.. we'll all know better on saturday night when we will see how Cotto handles the bull. If he box as Emmanuel have teach him... we should see Cotto mastering the ring and winning by convincing knockout. [COLOR="red">I'm thinking 8 or 9 round thinking Mayorga has a good condition. Anyway, this is a perfect step for Cotto before facing rematch with margarito who will not have plaster this time. Puerto Rico deserves the vengeance and Mexico knows it. They won't be hurt if Cotto beats Margarito to the ground because he deserves it. But.. saturday night must pass before we think of that. Until then... Cotto has the best words to describe Mayorga, the man is a clown. I really hope Cotto don't give him any credit or go soft with him after beating him. He doesn't deserve a champion's hug. Cotto by knockout 8th or 9th round. Will be a good fight and the undercard looks great!!!!! Go Cotto!!!!!!!!!
WHOA!! Hold on a second, stop the car, slam on the brakes. Is that ANONY is see? Can it be? One of the Lost Boys has returned to us at last? Let me take a look at you pal. (circles, looks, studies) Just where in the blue hell have you been?
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Senior Zach Dahleen missed out on qualifying for the national meet by less than two seconds.
March 2, 2013
By Tyler Wooten
Saluki track and field won two events at last-chance meets this weekend, but failed to qualify any additional student-athletes for the NCAA Indoor National Championships slated for next Friday and Saturday, March 8-9.
The Salukis travelled to two different meets -- the Arkansas Final Qualifier and the Alex Wilson Invitational at Notre Dame. Four throwers -- Kim Fortney, Josh Freeman, Sophia Lozano and DeAnna Price -- travelled to Fayetteville, Ark., to try and push their PRs, and distance runner and MVC Champion Zach Dahleen traveled to South Bend, Ind., for the invite to improve his mile time.
Fortney won both the women's shot put (three total entrants) and the women's weight throw (five total), but failed to push her PR to crack the top-16. Fortney fell less than two feet shy in the shot put and a half foot short in the weight throw from qualifying for nationals. DeAnna Price and Sophia Lozano took second and third place in the weight throw, respectively.
Dahleen finished eighth out of 33 competitiors in the mile run at Notre Dame, but still fell two seconds shy of entering the highly contentious top-16, where the times range from 3:52 to 3:58. In fact, the top-finisher at Notre Dame on Saturday -- Wisconsin's Austin Mudd -- ran a time of 3:58.59, which only puts him at 14th in the nation. The country's top time belongs to 2012 indoor mile national champion Chris O'Hare of Tulsa, who owns the national collegiate record time of 3:52.98 -- nearly two seconds better than the previous record set in 2012.
Qualifiers for the national meet will be officially announced on Monday, March 4. The NCAA Indoor Championships will be held in Fayetteville, Ark., on March 8-9.
Arkansas Final Qualifier:
Women's Shot Put
1. Kim Fortney - 15.90m (52-02.00)
Women's Weight Throw
1. Kim Fortney - 20.28m (66-06.50)
2. DeAnna Price - 20.23m (66-04.50)
3. Sophia Lozano - 19.46m (63-10.25)
Men's Shot Put
3. Josh Freeman - 17.18m (56-04.50)

Had a lovely weekend in this apartment. Service was great and quick, and the room was clean and nice.
Only little complaint was that the ironing board wasn't in great condition.
All in all, a really pleasant stay - I will reccomend this to others!
The room and the bathroom were clean as explained, it was very helpful the accomodation so close to Bishopsgate an Liverpool street, Marcos is very agreeable,
I warmly recommend this accomodation.
The situation, reception, bathroom, kitchen. In my opinion it was quite up without any faults.
Terravision buses leave you in the same perpendicular street. And there are several supermarkets to buy the very cheap as Tesco and The Coo-perative.
La situación, la recepción, el baño , la cocina. En mi opinión estuvo todo a la altura y sin ningún fallo.
Los buses de Terravision te dejan en la misma calle perpendicular. Y hay varios supermercados para la compra muy económicos como Tesco o The Coo-perative.
The unbeatable location of the apartment as liverpool street spend four subway lines, plus buses connecting with airports.
As for the prejudice that may have to share an apartment worth nothing because there were no any problem to use the bathroom or the kitchen. The room is not luxurious but what do you expect for 55e night? With a comfortable bed with feather pillows and warm me spare me!
La ubicación del apartamento inmejorable ya que por liverpool street pasan cuatro líneas de metro, además de la conexión con los autobuses de los aeropuertos.
En cuanto al prejuicio que puede tener compartir un apartamento no vale de nada porque no hubieron ningún problema para utilizar el baño ni la cocina. La habitación no es lujosa pero ¿qué esperas por 55e la noche? Con una cama cómoda con cojines y un plumas calentito a mí me sobra!
The apartment is very central, just in front of Liverpool Street station.
The place is nice but, unfortunately, not very tidy.
Everything ok - THANK YOU!
Although Mark is very nice, the room and is beautiful, and it's in Shoreditch and is a nice apartment. The proof is that my wife has been riddled with bug bites. I wish I could post pictures. The room is small, the cupboard falls apart (and has bed bugs!) And you can pull the door five minutes to open it. The bathroom is a mess, broken and small and uncomfortable and full of mosquitoes. It is on the ground floor of a building working class, though not dangerous, has no charm.
We went to a hotel a day before completing the booking and we were not before not find accommodation. With that I think that says it all.
A pesar de que Marcos es muy agradable, la habitación ni es preciosa, ni está en Shoreditch ni es un agradable apartamento. La prueba es que mi mujer se ha quedado plagada de picaduras de chinches. Me gustaría poder poner las fotos. La habitación es pequeña, el armario se cae en pedazos (¡y tiene chinches la cama!) y la puerta te puedes tirar cinco minutos para abrirla. El baño es un asco, roto y pequeño e incómodo y lleno de mosquitos. Está en el bajo de un edificio de clase trabajadora que, aunque no es peligroso, no tiene ningún encanto.
Nos fuimos a un hotel un día antes de terminar la reserva y no nos fuimos antes por no encontrar alojamiento. Con eso creo que se dice todo.
Very good place to stay if you need to catch a train to Stansted Airport from Liverpool Station. It took me about three minutes to walk there. The room was small but clean, bathroom and kitchen were shared with others but also very clean. I was welcomed very friendly at the reception and enjoyed my stay.
Clean and well equipped. The flat was close to bus stop and tube station. Located in a loud area, but that didnt disturb me. Also very close to grocery stores and restaurants. Marcos was friendly and made me feel very welcome!
The receptionist was very friendly but the room was so small that the bed took almost all of the room. Very thin walls. But everything was clean and the location is top! Still it is London we're talking about, so for this price-range pretty much everything is acceptable
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Agra (India): The contribution of James Augustus Hickey, an Irishman, who laid the foundation and parameters of journalism in India through the columns of his weekly Bengal Gazette, the first Indian newspaper published from Kolkata on this day in 1779, was recalled by journalism students and senior scribes of the Taj city at a function, held Saturday evening.
Journalists said it was difficult to ignore the contribution of Hickey, whose anti-establishment writings and what some call "scandalous outbursts against the rulers of the day", won him many admirers.
Speaking on the occasion, veteran journalist Neville Smith said: "Students of journalism can feel inspired by reading about this man who laid the foundation of journalism in our country. Free press in India owes a debt of gratitude to James Augustus Hickey, the man who almost single-handedly faced the might of the British empire in India to espouse the cause of free expression and reining in of the government by the voice of the people, exposing the actions of the government, and making public the dirty deals.
"There might have been a touch of yellow journalism or sensationalism but Hickey can be excused for that because he was making the first tentative stride on the road to a free press which was ultimately to become the fourth pillar of democracy. This he did, even before Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the US, spoke so famously about the freedom of the press," said Smith, the chief guest of the function.
The president of the Agra Press Club Anil Sharma said, "We should not forget Indian journalism's baptism by fire and struggle. The media has to be sensitized and made aware of its immense responsibilities. The likes of Hickey beckon us to strive towards that end".
Hickey, who was considered a highly eccentric Irishman, founded the country's first newspaper called Hickey's Bengal Gazette or the Calcutta General Advertiser. It was a weekly newspaper, founded in 1779 in Calcutta, the then capital of British India.
His memoirist William Hickey tells us that he allowed it "to become the channel of personal invective, and the most scurrilous abuse of individuals of all ranks, high and low, rich and poor, many were attacked in the most wanton and cruel manner".
Journalism students of several local institutes and university who attended the seminar on Indian Media: current trends, said the growth of the media undoubtedly had been impressive, but some negative trends were cause for concern and alarm. The mass media needs to be sensitized to the needs of the masses and should not remain glued to economic interests and ape the western media, students said.

College Hockey:Emotional Nebraska-Omaha blanks Colorado College as Massa stops all 20
OMAHA, Neb. — Finally nearing the end of a difficult week for the Nebraska-Omaha hockey program and its school at large, many wondered how the Mavericks would look Friday on the ice against Colorado College.
The answer? Efficient.
After Austin Ortega opened the scoring 11 seconds into the game, the Mavericks were then up 2-0 after only 2:15 and the hosts eventually picked up six goals in a 6-0 whitewash of the Tigers at CenturyLink Center.
It was an emotional win for UNO (14-15-2, 11-8-2-1 NCHC), having lost senior forward Zahn Raubenheimer for the season last Saturday after he broke a foot blocking a Western Michigan shot.
What then made matters worse was that the eight freshmen hockey players were displaced Wednesday after a two-alarm fire ravaged much of their on-campus dormitory building.
CC, having gone into Friday's game on the back of a sweep of archrival Denver last weekend, fell to 6-19-6 overall and 6-10-5-1 in the NCHC.
"It affected the whole team at practice," Mavericks coach Dean Blais said after the game when asked about UNO's rough week. "But the university did a great job of taking care of everyone in that dormitory and from my perspective, especially the hockey players.
"They're moving over to a regular dormitory on Sunday. In the meantime, they've been in a hotel and that's probably been the best thing for them."
Blais also acknowledged his team's ability to bounce back from the news of Raubenheimer's injury.
"Zahn Raubenheimer was one of our biggest cheerleaders on the bench [this season]," Blais said. "He's still a big part of this team.
"It's another example of this team overcoming adversity. It's been that way the whole year. They've dug down and found a way to win."
It was one of those displaced freshmen, though, that scored UNO's first goal of the night, the fastest scored in the NCHC this season and fastest-ever UNO goal to start a game.
UNO won the opening faceoff and dumped the puck into the CC zone and freshman Austin Ortega raced in and fired a shot in off the inside of CC goaltender Josh Thorimbert's right leg pad.
UNO doubled its lead 2:04 later on a shorthanded goal from Brock Montpetit with the senior forward coming in on a breakaway and beating Thorimbert to the CC goalie's glove side.
Thorimbert's night didn't last much longer.
Tigers' coach Scott Owens pulled his senior goalie, who had started each of CC's 30 games coming into Friday, after UNO freshman Jake Guentzel made it 3-0 still only 5:28 into the game.
In came junior netminder Courtney Lockwood, and although Owens' move and CC's reaction to it appeared to slow UNO down a little, the hosts' goals kept coming.
Josh Archibald brought the score to 4-0 6:07 into the second period. The junior's 27th goal of the season, thus tying the UNO school record for goals in a single season, came when he fired a wrist shot from the left circle past Lockwood at the near-side post.
Archibald later picked up his record-breaking goal 4:04 into the third period. Guentzel didn't find any luck when Lockwood saved the UNO freshman's shot from low in the slot, but Archibald swept in to put away the rebound.
Fridays' game was Archibald's sixth multi-goal game of the season and fifth in his last 11.
The hosts' lead then went up to 6-0 at 11:56 of the same period when James Polk redirected a long Nick Seeler shot from the blue line in past Lockwood.
Owens, who said he'd only heard Friday about the fire at UNO, thought some of the Mavericks' sense of emotion in the game probably came from that. Owens also, however, pointed to the skill sets of the Mavericks' upperclassmen.
"I'm sure [the emotion after Wednesday] was a part of it," Owens said, "But they've also got a nice group of seniors playing their final weekend at home and they kind of got stung in the third period [last Saturday] at Western, but we knew they were going to be pretty good.
"They were tough to contain and we couldn't contain them. They were just a lot better than us tonight."
Ryan Massa earned the shutout for UNO with a 20-save outing.

At the 13:16 minute, junior Shelby Bram and Dingeldein set up Donohue for the goal. The Lakers attempted 19 shots in the first period and found just two past goaltender Nicole Hensley.
Dingeldein added both of her goals in the second period with the first goal finding the back of the net at the 6:20 mark. Bram added her second assist of the contest on the second power-play goal of the contest. Freshman Jillian Skinner added the primary and extended her point streak to four games.
Bram and Dingeldein met again at the 12:36 mark of the second to extend the lead to 3-0. Bram's third assist marked her season-high three assists in a contest midway through the year. Mercyhurst added 18 more shots on net at the conclusion of the second period.
Lindenwood's Katie Erickson broke through the defense of goaltender Amanda Makela to prevent the shutout. Erickson's fourth goal of the season was assisted by Chelsea Witwicke and Jordyn Constance. Lindenwood's only opportunity was on a 5 on 3 chance in favor of the Lions.
Throughout the entire contest, Mercyhurst outshot Lindenwood 42 to 18. Chippy led the Lakers with sic shots on net while Dingeldein tallied four and Skinner had three. Defenseman junior Molly Byrne along with Kilroy each blocked three shots apiece in the efforts as well.
Makela made 17 saves to improve to 12-5-2 overall in the season. Nicole Hensley suffered the loss after making 38 saves on 42 shots.

The Lady Lions hockey team concluded its home series with Mercyhurst on Sunday afternoon with a 4-1 setback. The game was the final one for the program before the Christmas holiday.
The Lakers took control of the game midway through the first period. Mercyhurst scored an even-strength goal at 11:54 and also went on the power play after that goal. Just over a minute later the Lakers scored again to go up 2-0.
Mercyhurst would go up 4-0 with two more goals in the second period. Lindenwood scored the final goal of the game when Katie Erickson found the back of the net while Lindenwood was on a five-on-three power play. Chelsea Witwicke and Jordyn Constance earned assists on that goal.
Nicole Hensley returned to the lineup and kept the game close with 38 saves. She made one of the top saves on the season when defending CHA Player of the Year Christine Bestland had a breakaway late in the game. Bestland initially got Hensley out of position but she was able to recover for a glove save going against her momentum.
Lindenwood returns to the ice on Dec. 31-Jan. 1 with a non-conference series at Minnesota State.

But the best was a few weeks ago during the Grammy Awards. My daughter called to tell me that 4-year old Dylan came running in, excited, shouting, "Mommy! Mommy! Grammy is going to be on TV! Is that because she's the best grammy in the world?" I can only hope the answer was, "Yes", but was afraid to ask. GDD, Tulsa, OK3.Yay! Grandbabies are coming over to play. Love this update from their dad: He said to Asher, "Do you know what 'trust' means? Mommy and Daddy put a lot of trust in you." Asher paused, turned to him and said, "I put a lot of love in you." Then turned to his Mommy and said, "I put a lot of love in Mommy, too."

folks, let's look at some of the special tax considerations for small business owners.Married couples who own
a small business can file on Schedule C and get Social Security credits for
each taxpayer. The IRS allows taxpayers who jointly own a business to elect to
file two Schedule C's for the business by splitting the income and expenses
based on each taxpayer's investment. Both taxpayers must be actively involved
in the business to qualify for this option called a qualified joint venture
(QJV) election. Using the QJV election allows married taxpayers who own a
business together to avoid the more complex and costly filing of a partnership
return. Business owners who meet all the of the following qualify: - A husband and wife team are the only
owners of the business - Taxpayers must be recognized as married
for federal income tax filing - Taxpayers must file a joint tax return - Both taxpayers must be active
participants in the business - If not a new business, the spouses
filed a partnership return in previous years What
are the benefits? Each spouse pays into Social Security
for future benefit protection, Schedule C is a less complex form to
complete than the partnership return and the taxpayer completes the portion of
the return for the business and their individual return all at one time, and a QJV filed on a
Schedule C generally does not require an employer identification number (EIN)
unless there are employees. Some
of the other rules governing small business for this year include: Taxpayers are still
eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation on tangible assets placed in
service during 2012; Up to $250,000 of
Leasehold Improvements are eligible for section 179 deduction. Leasehold
improvements are often the remodeling a business does to the space rented for
their business; Business owners that
accept credit cards and debit cards will receive a Form 1099-K reporting all
credit and debit card payments they received last year. Each payments
settlement entity (PSE) that collected funds for the merchant will send a Form
1099-K. This income should be included on the Schedule C only once since it is
possible to have it reported on a 1099-MISC also; Taxpayers may deduct
100 percent of theirs and their family's health insurance cost as a direct
deduction from income on Form 1040; Common required tax and
state mandated employer costs: Unemployment insurance (FUTA and SUTA), Worker's
Compensation insurance, Medicare and Social Security taxes. If
you're a small business owner, don't forget to review
your tax situation throughout the year and complete estimated tax payments each
Graduating from college leads to important life changes
that can trigger significant tax benefits. The United States National Center
for Education Statistics estimated that 3.4
million college degrees were awarded in the 2011-12 school year. Many of
these recent college graduates took on new and exciting responsibilities in the
real world, like starting their first job this past tax year. And many of these
graduates may not be aware of the tax benefits available to them.Mark Steber, Chief Tax Officer, recommends new graduates
check out these tax tips: Deduct student loan interest – Taxpayers can claim up to $2,500 in student loan
interest paid during the year as long as they are legally obligated to repay
the loan, were at least a half-time student in a degree or certificate program
when the loan was awarded and attended an eligible institution.Know how being claimed as a dependent by someone else can impact their
taxes –
Many college students are claimed as a dependent on their parent's or guardian's
tax returns. This affects eligibility for certain deductions and credits, like
student loan interest paid. Taxpayers should verify their dependent status
before filing their taxes.Be aware that scholarships, fellowships and apprenticeships can
affect their taxes – Scholarships and fellowships are taxable if they are not paid
directly to the institution or were awarded to a non-degree candidate. Any part
of the scholarship that is used for room, board or travel is also taxable.
Generally, any payments from apprenticeships are taxed the same way as wages.Choose withholdings – It is easy to owe taxes when taxpayers start their
first 'real job' because they are accustomed to having a small amount of
withholding. Any time income increases, it is important to make sure to
have enough withholding to cover the new tax liability. The IRS
Withholding Calculator helps taxpayers determine the best way to determine
withholdings.Claim moving expenses from relocating for a new job – Taxpayers must work
full-time for 39 out of the next 52 weeks to be eligible. Keep track of
mileage, lodging expenses and tolls when relocating, as well as the cost of
moving any household goods and pets. All these relocation expenses can be tax
What happens if you filed a tax return
and later realize that you omitted income or overlooked some deductions? You
can amend your return by filing Form 1040X, Amended
U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. Generally, you must file your amended
return within three years after the date you filed your original return. You
cannot change your filing status from Married Filing Jointly to Married Filing
Separately after the due date of the original return.
Wondering if you can claim someone as a dependent on your 2012 tax return? To
qualify as a dependent on your tax return an individual must meet the following
three tests:
Dependents fall into two specific categories: they are either a
qualifying child or a qualifying relative. While both types of dependents are
eligible for a $3,800 exemption, the qualifying child dependent is the only one
eligible for the Child Tax Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit and Earned
Income Tax Credit.

Things I Hate About Grocery Shopping
I had a bad day at the local Kroger!
Don't get me started....
Ugh, never go on the first of the month.
I like reading your stuff. That's universal grocery store stuff... Kentucky, Texas, Georgia... everywhere I have lived it's the exact same at every store.
Don't forget the complimentary booger on the shopping cart handle!
Things I love about grocery shopping: potato chips, jelly beans, popcorn, ice cream,
hot dogs, cola, frozen pizza. Getting these are well worth going through the other stuff
listed in the link of post 1.
What do I hate about grocery shopping?
IF you want the absolute slowest moving line in ANY store, especially grocery, just let me pick it! The coupon binder, check writer, it was a suprise they had to pay for their stuff and just started dealing with it (using foodstamps), wanting to buy cigs and the cashier has to leave her lane to go to the front desk, the tiny "coin purse" that gets dug in for 5 minutes looking for 2 pennies, no barcode, oh the coupon is only for the 12oz and I have the 12.5oz?...
Ok stop! Breath deep. Be calm.
I hate grocery shopping! Can ya tell. :rolleyes:
I just hate that the prices have become so bad that I can spend $100 and feel like I bought nothing.
My fav-- the person arguing over the price when it's $.10 difference. Here's a dime-- now feel free to fornicate yourself with an iron rod.
The only job I have grocery shopping is pushing the cart around and I hate even that.

What's the biggest problem facing gardeners? Drought, lack of sun, or the ever-present threat of disease? Nope, it's deer. The beautiful animals immortalized in Disney's Bambi are also the garden's biggest pests. Increased hunting regulations have caused the deer population to swell to more than 30 million. At the same time, suburban expansion has led to a loss of natural habitat. The result? Deer are looking for food and finding it in gardens all across the country.50 Beautiful Deer-Resistant Plants makes keeping deer away as simple as choosing the appropriate plant. Instead of the typical barriers and fencing, expert plantswoman Ruth Rogers Clausen has chosen the 50 most beautiful (and least palatable) annuals, bulbs, ferns, grasses, herbs, perennials, and shrubs. Whether it's the charming snow crocuses that bloom each spring or the vibrant, long-blooming Texas Sage, these 50 plants provide gardeners a chance to design a deer-proof garden without sacrificing style. Each plant profile includes a deer-resistance scale, tips on growth and care, zone recommendations, and gorgeous color photos showing the plant up close and in the garden setting. Also includes dozens of companion planting ideas. With the helpful and trusted advice in 50 Beautiful Deer-Resistant Plants, gardeners can finally garden without fear of deer.

Superior product with all components fitting exactly RM85L. Since fitting the bike has been tortured through hill country, river beds and salt water environments and has performed admirably. A superior product at competitive pricing. Definitely recommend.
Review By: Marseille

Great Value!
If you want to save money for bearing, bushing, and seal kits, you can't go wrong with these. The bearing and seal quality is good and the bushings are an exact match for the OEM parts at a much lower price. I checked prices all over, and by getting these kits from Dennis Kirk, I was able to save a significant amount compared to other places. As a bonus, Dennis Kirk stocked the different bearing kits for both my 2006 and 2004 EC300 Gas Gas bikes, as well as those needed for my 2000 Gas Gas XC200. I was able to get all the chassis bearings that I needed for all three "non-mainstream" bikes in one place and in one order. Kudos to you, Dennis Kirk! thumbsup!

SCHLITTERBAHN KANSAS CITY | Park Update 07.09.11
Welcome back to Schlitterbahn Kansas City!
Earlier this week, the park opened the first of
its new 2011 attractions - Blitz Falls!
By opening Blitz Falls, the park has now completed the
circuit loop of their Transportainment Tube system.
Guests can now float from one of the park to the other
without ever leaving their tube!
Blitz Falls is a 2-part attraction that first consists
of an Aquaveyor lift that takes guests from Kristal River.
It then deposits the guests in the new Blitz Falls
tube chute which then takes guests back to the Torrent River.
Guests also have the option of getting out of the water after
their ride on the Aquaveyor instead of continuing on in the chute.
Here you can see the new open chute of Blitz Falls.
The other side of the chute houses the queues for two attractions.
The 6 other attractions are still being worked on.
Here you can see the future homes of an Aqua-Screw
as well as the Aquaveyor to King Kaw and Mighty Mo.
The new slide complex is nearing completion.
Recently a new bridge to the island was built.
The park is hoping to open the slides later this month.
All that is left is some walls and the rest of the walkway.
It will be nice to have the added capacity in the park.
The chutes for the new rivers are nearing completion.
The river closest connects to the Aquaveyor.
The other two are the exits of Kaw and Mo.
Unfortunately they still have a lot of work to do.
But, the opening of the slide tower is getting closer.

Multiple visitors to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) website have been asking about UFO activity after learning about the missing Malaysia Flight 370, according to Executive Director Jan C. Harzan reached at his Newport Beach, CA, headquarters office March 11, 2014.
"We have not received any UFO reports from that region during the time of the flight or around the time period where it disappeared," Harzan said. "Historically there are very few UFO cases where an airplane is involved and then it just disappears."
MUFON Pennsylvania State Director John Ventre said there is no final proof that UFOs have ever been involved in a similar incident, but believes it is still worthy of research.
"Between black boxes, transponders, radar, debris fields, explosion and missile strike signatures, evidence is always left behind," Ventre said. "The one explanation that some researchers are considering is that the plane and its passengers were abducted by extraterrestrials."
Ventre sites some past case evidence:
"December of 1945, five bombers from Fort Lauderdale took off and disappeared in clear weather," Ventre said. "A large Martin Mariner was sent up to find Flight 19. They disappeared also. Six planes and 27 crew 'vanished.'
"In 1953 General Benjamin Chidlaw said, 'We have stacks of flying saucer reports. We take them very seriously when you consider how many men and planes we have lost trying to intercept them.'
"On November 23 1953, an F-89C Scorpion jet was scrambled from Kinross AFB to intercept a UFO. On radar, the two merge and the jet and its four member crew vanish. The U.S. military monitors everything using sonar, radar and satellites. I'm certain our satellites observed what really happened."
You can read about current UFO cases at mufon.com. MUFON files are explored in the History Channels H2 series, "Hangar 1: The UFO Files" currently running Friday's beginning at 10 p.m. ET.

Farrah Fawcett
Corpus Christi, Texas
"The reason that the all-American boy prefers beauty to brains is that he can see better than he can think." - Farrah Fawcett
The Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated actress Farrah Fawcett was best known for her role on the original Charlie's Angels TV series and the sex symbol status that was bestowed upon her following the release of her legendary pinup poster. While Farrah Fawcett's beauty seemed to possess divine qualities, her lengthy battle with cancer proved that the most lovely of Charlie's angels was mortal after all.
Never one to be ignored by the opposite sex, Farrah Fawcett always had men fighting over her, starting with a 1969 appearance on The Dating Game when three bachelors literally fought for her affections onstage as an April Fools joke. During her Charlie's Angels heyday, she was married to Lee Majors, making them the first husband and wife to simultaneously anchor their own hit shows. For most of the last 25 years, she was been the companion of actor Ryan O'Neal. By Hollywood standards, it's been a solid relationship that never led to marriage, but became even more special in the wake of Farrah Fawcett's failing health.
Critics and fans were initially happy to take a "looks first, talent later" approach to Farrah Fawcett's career, but she worked very hard to dispel that image through her commitment to risky roles and causes (domestic violence, mental illness, cancer) that were close to her heart. How many other blond bombshells in Hollywood have convincingly played assault victims-turned-vengeful perpetrators (Extremities), abused wives-turned-deadly arsonists (The Burning Bed) and lonely mothers-turned-stir-crazy murderesses (Small Sacrifices) within years of each other? While Oscar nominations eluded Farrah Fawcett, she could still take comfort in her five Golden Globe nominations and three Emmy noms. Her greatest achievement in her later life was Farrah's Story, in which she dared to put her very public face on her very personal battle with cancer.
Farrah Fawcett BiographyFarrah Fawcett's early interest in athletics was overshadowed by her W. B. Ray High School classmates' realization that she had a serious problem -- she was exceptionally beautiful. Upon graduation, she was voted "Best Looking" -- the first of many instances of beauty based recognition that would form her gateway into the entertainment universe. A two-year stint at the University of Texas was next, and there she proved to be a lot more comfortable in the Delta Delta Delta Sorority than in microbiology class. Farrah Fawcett was still getting an A in Hotness 101, however, and Cashbox magazine photographed her for the university's "Ten Most Beautiful Coeds" spread -- the first of two pictures that would significantly alter her destiny.
A Hollywood agent saw the college photo and encouraged Farrah Fawcett to move to Los Angeles. She did just that and made her acting debut on a 1969 episode of I Dream of Jeannie opposite blond beauty-of-the-moment Barbara Eden. A year later, Fawcett held the distinction of appearing in the same film as two other sex symbols -- Raquel Welch and Mae West. Unfortunately, the film was Myra Breckenridge, which garnered a reputation as one of the biggest cinematic train wrecks in movie history. Fawcett retreated to television and commercials, one of which found her opposite football great Joe Namath.
farrah fawcett stars in charlie's angels and the burning bed1976 marked The Year of Farrah Fawcett. After guesting sporadically on husband Lee Majors' show, The Six Million Dollar Man, she starred as athletic detective Jill Munroe in the girl-powered Charlie's Angels. While the show emphasized skin over substance, it became a ratings winner, breaking new ground as a hot series anchored solely by women. That same year, a now legendary pinup poster of a swimsuit-clad Farrah Fawcett was released, spawning utter Farrah mania, and selling over eight million copies. Now a highly coveted wall companion for young American men, Fawcett's added exposure in shampoo and toothpaste commercials -- for Wella Balsam and Ultra-Brite, respectively -- further cemented her place as the "It" girl of the decade. Countless women wanted a hairstyle like hers, while countless men wanted to play with her hair. And then, just like that, she was gone… sort of.
Feeling pressured to balance her work and married life, Farrah Fawcett "pulled a David Caruso" and left her career-making TV series after only one season. A legal settlement forced her to guest star on the show intermittently, but her plan was to make feature films instead. The plan was initially a failure, so Fawcett dropped off the radar significantly and began pursuing stage acting to further reinvent herself. It paid off when she reemerged in the 1984 TV movie The Burning Bed, nominated for an Emmy as a mother who kills her abusive husband. The fact-based film is still considered a milestone for its frank portrayal of the once-taboo topic of domestic violence.

Tom Cruise 'Leaving Scientology For Suri'?
Tom Cruise may be "leaving Scientology for Suri," according to a cover story from In Touch.
The magazine, which ran an (equally inaccurate) version of this story last month, alleges that Cruise spending Thanksgiving with Suri "could be a sign" that he's "pulling away from the religion."
How is spending time with one's daughter supposedly evidence of such a major shift?
In Touch consults a number of "ex-Scientologists" — who have no connection to Cruise — who claim that the movie star's recent actions show he's cutting ties with the Church.
RELATED – Tom Cruise Suing Tabloid for Bogus Story Claiming He "Abandoned" Suri
One of these supposed "sources" speculates, "I think Tom decided it's in Suri's best interest to give his energy to her over the Church."
The insider adds that because Katie Holmes cut ties with the Church, she's likely been labeled a "suppressive person" with whom Cruise is not supposed to have contact, which could thereby "complicate Tom's contact with Suri."
Another so-called "source" tells the mag that some parents belonging to the Church "aren't even allowed to say hello" to their non-Scientologist children.
The tabloid concludes, "As loyal as he may be to the Church, he longs to keep [Suri] in his life."
Well, that's true.
But as much as In Touch may love the drama of Cruise being forced to choose between his daughter and his religion, the two are NOT mutually exclusive.
Cruise talks to Suri nearly every day and sees her whenever he can while still remaining a part of the Church.
A rep for Cruise tells Gossip Cop the claim that he's leaving Scientology "isn't true."

Man fatally stabbed in Stockwell named as Femi Junaid, 22
11:51 08 February 2014
Police have named the 22-year-old man who died in hospital after being stabbed near Stockwell Underground station during rush hour yesterday evening as Femi Junaid, from Peckham.
Police said they were called at around 5.30pm to reports of a car colliding with a bus near the south London Tube stop, where officers found the victim with stab wounds inside the vehicle.
Scotland Yard said it believed Femi, full name Babafemi, was stabbed in Clapham Road, some 50 yards from the scene of the collision, before getting into his car and colliding with the bus. Police do not believe anyone else was in the car with Femi at the time of the collision.
Scotland Yard said the incident may be linked to an earlier report of disorder on a bus nearby.
The force is now investigating murder and no arrests have been made.
Last night, Jordan Grace (@JordanGrace123) tweeted: "Something BIG going down in Stockwell... Blood in the road and police vans everywhere."
Another, Claire Buky-Webster (@ClaireB_W), wrote: "Something BAD has happened in Stockwell. Car under a bus and knives on the road."
• Anyone with information about the incident should call Scotland Yard's incident room on 020 8721 4155 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

to theChief Ladiga Trail
The Chief Ladiga Trail is Alabama's first extended rails-to-trails project. It wanders 33 miles through the countryside of Calhoun and Cleburne counties and it connects the municipalities of Piedmont, Jacksonville, Weaver and Anniston.
Seen along the way are beautiful wetlands, streams, forests, farmlands, and a horizon filled with mountains. The Chief Ladiga Trail is a family oriented pathway that provides a safe, non-motorized way to travel, exercise and relax while enjoying the outdoors.
Just north of Piedmont, Alabama it intersects with the Pinhoti Trail which is a spur of the longest walking path in America - the famous Appalachian Trail.
On September 27th, 2008 the "Chief" was connected to Georgia's Silver Comet Trail completing what is now considered to be the longest paved pedestrian pathway in America. Together the trails are 95 miles long with plans for future extensions and spurs.
Projects like these tend to increase tourism, benefit businesses, decrease crime and generally increase the quality of life. We hope that you will enjoy and support the Chief Ladiga Trail for many years to come. Please consider making a donation to benefit the trail!

Look For A Potential Buy Entry In These ETFs (IYT, EPU, TLT)
Earlier this week we mentioned the pick up in buying in the energy sector with $XLE breaking a short-term downtrend line and reclaiming its 50-day MA. The iShares Dow Jones Transportation (NYSEARCA:IYT) has also perked up after breaking a year long downtrend line. There is no actionable setup right now, as we'd like to see $IYT form a 5-10 week base while holding above 92.00. An eventual breakout from this base would be the ideal entry point.
In yesterday's report, we listed a potential breakout setup forming in Global X InterBolsa FTSE Colombia20($GXG). Another South American ETF showing in a tight consolidation pattern is iShares MSCI All Peru Capped Index Fund (NYSEARCA:EPU). Check out the weekly chart below:
Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?
"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."
CLICK HERE to get your Free E-Book, "The Little Black Book Of Billionaires Secrets"
$EPU has been in base mode since last March and has tightened up nicely over the past few months above the 20 and 50-week moving averages. A breakout above the tight range would also result in a break of the long-term downtrend line in blue. We are monitoring the action for a potential entry point within the next few weeks.
After breaking the uptrend line at the lows of its base, the iShares Barclays 20+ Yr Treasury Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:TLT) has broken support of the 200-day MA for the third time since September. We also see two consecutive lower swing highs since the price action topped out this summer. $TLT is in danger of establishing a downtrend if it is unable to reclaim the 200-day MA and breaks down below 118.00. The next support level would then be around 111.00.

Films On Fridges: Pop Up Cinema Made from Old Refrigerators Rises in London!
Start Slideshow
- Films on FridgesIn 2005, a giant mountain of abandoned fridges was cleared away from a lot in East London to make way for Zaha Hadid's Olympic Aquatic Centre. As a way to celebrate the area's industrial past before the glory of the Olympics, Lindsey Scannapieco decided to resurrect the "Fridge Mountain" by starting a pop up cinema made of old fridges and upcycled materials. Called Films On Fridges, the playful and interactive outdoor theatre will be open from July 27th through August 13th and is showing 12 screenings of classic sports films as a tribute the upcoming games.1
- Films on FridgesThe dream child of Lindsey Scannapieco, Films on Fridges was created as a way to animate a vacant lot in a creative way while celebrating the Olympics.2
- Films on FridgesScannapieco was helped out by her business partner Mat Triebner and Emma Rutherford, an architecture student at London Met University, who turned the wacky vision into a reality.3
- Films on FridgesThe pop up cinema is composed of a grand stand of seats in front of a blow up screen surrounded by a frame of discarded fridge doors.4
- Films on FridgesFridges were also used to create bench seats that were placed around the vacant lot for people to sit on and enjoy the sites.5
- Films on FridgesAnother wall of fridge doors frames the concession area and fridge magnets hold fast to the doors, letting people express themselves through words and messages.6
- Films on FridgesMovie goers mingle and buy concessions before the movie starts.7
- Films on FridgesAll of the fridges were supplied by Sims Recycling Solutions, who have a recycling company in Newport.8
- Films on FridgesAll of the fridges were supplied by Sims Recycling Solutions, who have a recycling company in Newport.9
- Films on FridgesAt the end of the pop up cinema, Sims will pick up all the fridges and recycle them.10

Madonna still relentless versus Elton John
Perennial music legends Madonna and Sir Elton John slugged it out in Hollywood as the two superstars hosted two separate parties after the 84th Academy Awards with just two miles separating both events. Both Madonna and John have been entangled in a feud days leading up to the Oscars and many show business insiders observed both were trying to outdo the other.
The 64-year old John and his civil partner, David Furnish, held their traditional post-Oscar dinner ball at the Pacific Design Centre, with proceeds given to bolster the programs of the Elton John Aids Foundation. Last year, the dinner event raised $4 million. There is no official figure yet for this year's fundraiser but reports revealed that tickets cost $3500. Among John and Furnish guests who came that night were Katy Perry, Chace Crawford, Dita Von Teese, Heidi Klum and Jessica Alba.
Just two miles away, Madonna threw a dinner party at her manager Guy Oseary's house. Determined to upstage John, the 53-year old diva even managed to recruit the services of John's favorite florist, Los Angeles resident Eric Butterbaugh. Sources said that Madonna even personally called and invited Hollywood A-listers Penelope Cruz, Bradley Cooper and Cameron Diaz. Those who confirmed their attendance were Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Britney Spears, Natalie Portman, Sean Penn, Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez and Tom Cruise.
Demi Moore, one of Madonna's closest friends and who usually co-hosts private events with the music artists, was not able to attend. It is reported that Moore is still recovering from a breakdown.

"To Snow" in the past tense. Used by people who dislike the word "snowed."
"Yo, what's all this cold white stuff on the ground??"
"You dumbass, it snew yesterday!"
"You dumbass, it snew yesterday!"
Functioning as a verb and purportedly the past tense of "snow," the term was popularized by ufck.org poster jay. in February of 2006. Linguists speculate that the misuse might mirror the evolution of "irregardless" and imbed itself into popular lexicon.
winter hasn't been bad so far actually. it snew a couple times, but it hasn't been super super cold really at all. well there was one snap where it was but that's it.

I have a legacy WinForms Mdi App in VB.Net 2.0 which I am adding functionality to. One of the additions is a warning which needs to be raised when the current time nears a specified value (a deadline). My intention is to check the time once an hour until there is less than an hour until the deadline, then display warnings at specified intervals until the time's up.
The user needs to be able to continue to use the app up to and even after the deadline, but they need to periodically be made aware of the deadline's proximity.
The app does not use System.Threading yet and my knowledge of it is limited at this time. I do know that there are 3 different Timer() methods available:
- System.Threading.Timer(),
- Windows.Forms.Timer() and
- System.Timers.Timer()
My question is, which is the best way to go with this? I attempted to use the threaded timer, but since WinForms are not thread safe I got a run time error trying to access another class. Is it worth making the class/form thread safe? Am I completely off track?

English Australian actor Nic Bishop will add muscle and intrigue to the cast of USA Network's spy drama "Covert Affairs." Bishop will be trading in his badge to drive around in fancy cars while wearing expensive suits.
The former "Body of Proof" cast member will play Ryan McQuaid, an ex-Navy SEAL who now operates a private security firm. "Whenever there's too much heat for the CIA or the government to do it, then a company like his is sent in to do it," Bishop said in a recent interview adding that his character is adventurous and likes to push people's buttons in order to get information.
"Covert Affairs" is certainly picking up some cream of the crop actors. Last season, the show added Hill Harper to their roster after his series "CSI: NY" ended. Bishop spent two season playing Dana Delany's cop side-kick in ABC's medical drama "Body of Proof." This time around, he will be rubbing elbows with Piper Perabo who plays Annie on "Covert."
According to Bishop, look for him to clash with Annie even though he is fascinated by her and respects her. Trust will be a definite issue.
The fifth season of "Covert Affairs" premieres on Tuesday, June 24 at 10:00 PM on USA.

By Dr. Cameron Chai
The results of the computer simulation study have been reported in the Nature journal. The study reveals the possibility of spontaneously forming new nanoscale morphologies using liquid crystals. The computational study simulated the characteristics of numerous rod-shaped liquid crystal molecules confined inside nano-sized liquid droplets. The study demonstrated that these liquid crystal molecules are capable of self-assembling when the droplets are cooled.
de Pablo explained that the cooling process forms a liquid crystal phase because the liquid droplets become ordered upon cooling. What surprised the team was the behavior of the liquid crystallinity inside the droplets that stimulated the self-organization of water and other molecules present at the droplets' interface, called surfactants, to form nanodomains.
This result shows that the interface molecules assume a homogeneous distribution when a liquid crystal is absent. However, the presence of a liquid crystal makes them to create an ordered nanostructure. de Pablo informed that the study results offer the possibility to create new structures and materials through the formation of these ordered nanophases by manipulating them either through surfactant concentration or droplet size.
For instance, surfactants bonded to DNA molecules can be attached to liquid crystal droplets, which can then be organized through DNA hybridization, opening up the possibility to detect viruses, biological molecules and toxins using liquid crystals. The arrangement of the liquid crystals and the surfactants inside the droplet gets changed when a protein or virus is attached to the droplet, thus generating an optical signal, which is useful in biology research settings, health care and biosecurity.

Homeless not hopless
Every day people walk by at the 69th Terminal and city streets and pretend not to notice. The average person tries not to even make eye contact. What is it, which the average person doesn't want to acknowledge? The homeless. They are people who are living in a situation that creates a sense of fear in all of us. Where would you go and what would you do if the worst thing you could imagine happened to you or someone you loved?
At the Life Center at 6310 Market St, Upper Darby, 50 men and women find shelter when there is no other place. At the Life Center, residents participate in the evening meal program and the Life Center also supplements their morning and noon meals. There are showers on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays. The shelter offers counseling services in AIDS testing, Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholic Anonymous. Due to the work that over 40 churches, synagogues, and temples do, over 200 meals are served every evening, from 7-8 p.m. (Last year the meal program served over 79,000 meals with 11,114 volunteer hours.) The number of needy individuals participating in the meal program increases every year. The evening meal program is open to the public and anyone who is hungry can come here to eat. The downside of the shelter is that it only can sleep 50 people on any given night.
On most nights there are more than 50 men and women who have no place to lay their head. That's when an interfaith based group comes in. Connect by Night, an overnight church-based, mobile emergency shelter in the eastern area of the County. Different facilities host the shelter program each month. This shelter program is not always wheelchair accessible. Participants sleep on mats on the floor and most sites have stairs. Every month a different church hosts the Connect by Night project. These churches, with their groups of volunteers, create a warm and inviting atmosphere for those in need. Many of the churches will prepare meals, snacks and even a bagged lunch for the next day for the group they help.
You may wonder how did those people became homeless. There are a multitude of reasons. The number of homeless is difficult to ascertain because estimates vary depending on the methodology used. Numbers also vary substantially depending on whether a measurement is taken on a single night or is extrapolated to a given year. www.pbs.org Although homelessness is a difficult to estimate, it appears that more people—especially families—are sleeping in shelters, living in their cars, and taking up residence in tent communities.
One out of 50—or about 1.5 million—American children are homeless each year, according to a 2009 study by the National Center on Family Homelessness. The study also shows Pennsylvania is ranked 9th in the amount of homeless children comparing to other states, and that 5% of household do not have an adequate food supply for the children. Homelessness isn't a new phenomenon. Pennsylvania has seen a raise in homeless children in the most recent study. Approximately, 31,000 children as of 2010 are homeless. www.homelesschildrenamerica.org
So where does that leave those of us with a roof over our head? Instead of assuming that all homeless individuals are either drug addicts or alcoholics, there are many other reasons why a person becomes homeless. If you think family support should prevent homelessness it doesn't. There are plenty of people who don't have any other family members but themselves. There are also many families that simply can't help because they themselves are in dire straits. There are many reasons why it happens but the one fact that isn't different is that they are human beings like you and me who deserve to be treated as such.

hear the haunting theronade
like a chant through a timeless abyss
or the cries from the wolves from the
long lost woods
moon-less nights caress her
in shades of a nocturnal beauty
she dances on cemetary ground
be-witched by the wistful tunes of thy dark
enslaving eyes of a whistful darkness
calls me as a silent prayer
she is the one of nocturnal beauty
force me to become her slave
take - me on your journey
she was a woman in black lace
dancing like a raven around the mountain side
and the music of her wistful songs
or laughter, or cries
and out of the skies above me
a creature - a face turned down unto me
closer and closer - then so near
and when she again raised
she caressed me and lead us into a lustful dance
in circles bigger and bigger
higher up - into the moonless skies
and I joined her on her journey to hades

Weather Information for Backcountry Travelby David Jones
Warning Prepardness Meteorologist, Meteorological Service of Canada
Following on the heels of Alan Jones' article "Trip Preparation for Safe Backcountry Winter Travel", it's time to take a closer look at a key component of preparation – getting weather information. If, like Alan, you prefer to choose your destination based on snow and weather conditions and you've chosen your friends wisely but none are meteorologists, you need to know how to get good weather information. What follows are the 'best bets' for weather information.
The best source of weather information is a meteorologist familiar with the weather of the area. Meteorologists have immediate access to data not available to the public. The only way to speak to such a meteorologist is via the 1.900 telephone service operated by the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC). The number is 1.900.565.5555. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of a telephone weather briefing:
- Explain where you're going, when, and the elevation. Ask if there are any weather stations nearby that measure snow pack, snowfall, and temperatures. If yes, find out about recent temperatures, winds, and snowfall.
- Explain that you understand the difficulty in producing a good forecast for such a remote area on short-notice. Ask if it's OK to call back a little later, to give the meteorologist some time. (It will cost less to make two calls than to wait on the line while someone tries to figure out the weather on-the-fly.)
- Call two days in advance of your departure to get an overall view of the weather. It's handy to be online so you can ask for links to weather websites.
- Explain that you would like to call again on the day of your departure. Find out a good time to call and ask if the person you're speaking to will be on shift then. If he/she will not be on shift, ask if the new shift can be given a heads-up to your call.
Past, current, and forecast weather is available from many Internet sites. The following is a top-ten list of weather websites that every backcountry enthusiast should know about.
Past Weather
- Real-time Snow Pillow data from BC Ministry of Environment:
Data including the past seven days of temperature, cumulative precipitation (and snow-water equivalent) for over 60 high-elevation stations in BC can be easily downloaded.
- Archived Data from the MSC Climate Data Online website:
Weather Offic Website – Archives
All historical data from MSC weather stations (and volunteer climate stations) including important stations such as Whistler, Hope Slide, Tatlayoko Lake, Revelstoke, Golden, Yoho Park, Banff, and Jasper. The latest available data is about one day old, but this site will eventually include observations right up to the past hour, making it the preferred location for real-time MSC weather station data also.
Current Weather
- Satellite Imagery from the University of Washington:
Simply the best. In the left-hand frame, choose "Satellite Imagery" then pick any infrared (IR) or visible (VIS) imagery under "West Coast" or "Eastern Pacific".
- Canadian Radar Imagery from the MSC:
Click on BC or Alberta to see radar coverage of the mountains. The new Silver Star (Vernon) and Prince George radars are now operational. Click the individual radars to see the animations.
- US Radar Imagery from the University of Washington:
University of Washingtion website – Radar Imagery
Under "Location", choose a radar or composite of the radars that border BC and Alberta.
Forecast Weather
Alpine Recreation Forecasts
Heading into the backcountry near Whistler or the North Shore Mountains? You're in luck! In BC, the only site-specific mountain forecasts produced by a meteorologist are for these areas.
- For Whistler, click "Whistler Alpine Recreation Forecast"
- For the North Shore Mountains click "Weather Forecast" at:
- Automated, computer-generated forecast maps of freezing level and snowfall:
This is computer model-output made simple. Computer models do a great job with freezing levels but use the snowfall forecasts with caution.
- Automated computer-generated mountain forecasts are available for select ski resorts in British Columbia:
Big White (Kelowna):
Click "Daily Snow Reports" then "Big White Forecast".
Silver Star (Vernon):
Click "Weather" then "Environment Canada Forecast".
Sun Peaks (Kamloops):
Roll-over "Weather and Cams" and click "Forecast".
- Site specific freezing-level, wind and RH forecasts for selected sites in BC:
These time-height charts require some interpretation. A quick description of the charts and an explanation of how to use them can be foundhere.
