WHY am I being SO STUPID?
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I'm scared. There, I said it. I'm STUPID. There, I admitted it.
I have spent endless time since my diagnosis, in September 2009, educating myself on every possible aspect of this horrible disease. I've had the nephrectomy. I've watched a good friend die from this. I have kept up with most of you on here, whether I posted or not.
So WHY am I running now?
Last week I began having all the same symptoms I had 2 and a half years ago, when I was diagnosed, operated on, and declared CANCER-FREE. What lead to discovering it then, was having symptoms of what I thought was a urinary tract infection. Well, I am now in the throws of the exact same kind of pain, and discomfort again. Is it back? NO, it cannot come back! But why am I SO afraid of going and getting it checked out? I KNOW how UTTERLY STUPID it is to ignore it. But, I am SO DAMN SCARED.
I've been SO lucky. Maybe my luck has run out??
I just found out today that I am going to be a grandmother again in December. I HAVE to be here for that. Right?
I've been SO blessed, especially compared to so many on here, who have been through SO MUCH WORSE than I.
I'm ranting. Sorry. I just felt like I would blow up if I didn't get this out.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
You are truly wonderful people. I know you will kick my butt into shape here.

Good Morning Hon!
You rant all you want. That is one of the wonderful things about this site. Each of us have our times when we need to "get it out"....and everyone understands.
PLEASE see your doctor asap! If anything is going on, the sooner it's found the better. Also...you may very well have a UTI and need medication for that. I've found over the years that the "not knowing" is the worst!
I'm always here for you if you need a friend. Please keep me updated, and take care of yourself.

Bev, No-one is going to kick your butt here because we know how you're feeling. I would be scared, too
Please see your doctor and find out what is going on. I do hope it is an
Keeping you in my thoughts,
Congrats, too, on being a grandmother again in December,
Love and hugs

My Dear Bev,
of coarse you are scared, and how you feel is very understandable Bev, but what it all comes down to is you do need to get in and get checked ASAP.. It may be nothing or it maybe something and you know this disease inside and out how fast it can turn into something much worse each day you wait.. One thing you know you have is good instincts and you will always carry the fear of this rotton cancer coming back, but please don't let this stop you from getting a check up right away.. You have good chances as this being a urinary infection or just some other infection so you need to make your health your # 1 priority here.. Even if it is back Bev, you know you have chances as to having surgery where ever it is and also become once again cancer-free but by waiting it could become to late and i don't know how you would get through this.. You need to turn the negative thinking into telling yourself i can do this and look at alot of the people here, including Tim, he is going on 5 years in Aug, this is a a true miracle for us.. The options that are out there today are endless with treating Kidney Cancer, so you must never think this is a death treat to you it isn't please beleive me Bev..
I know you are scared, hell i would feel just as you do, but it's time to get rid of the fears and make the next move.. I would never lie to you Bev, i know whatever happens you will be as strong as my Tim, as i have had to be in supporting him and so many others with this disease and thier spouses who support them completely..
You are a very important women in my life since day one, i love you with all my heart, please, please, seek out the medical attention you need.. You and only you can do this and i trust that you will get this attended to as soon as you can..
Please keep me updated Bev, you mean so much to me..
All my love, hope & faith are with you,

Dear Bev, Believe me when I say that most of us believe in the phrase " Ignorance is bliss" for a second on this journey but the reality is that we have to monitor our bodies closelyt forever and take any actions we need to survive the longest!

Will keep in my prayers. My only daughter is expecting her first child in Nov. I had my kidney out last May and now cancer free but live in the fear it will come back and miss out on birth of her first child. You are not stupid or alone. Will be thinking of you Thursday.

These cute little gold trimmed pots where the perfect summer DIY, especially since I was able to pull out my gold acrylic paint.
I picked up simple terracotta pots from hobby lobby on sale and decided to spice them up a bit, using a sponge brush, tape and a metallic paint.
I even did a couple of white pots!

Alaska Airlines flight makes unscheduled landing at KCI because of unruly passenger
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - An Alaska Airlines flight made an unscheduled stop at KCI on Sunday afternoon because of an unruly passenger.
Flight 746, en route from Seattle to Atlanta, landed in Kansas City at about 2 p.m.
Alaska Airlines spokeswoman Holly Knagge said the diversion was made because a man was making other passengers very uncomfortable.
Knagge said the man was escorted off the aircraft by law enforcement and medical personnel. The flight has since left KCI for Atlanta.
The FBI is investigating the incident.
FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said the man was taken to St. Luke's Hospital for evaluation. No charges have been filed against him and he is not in custody.

Update 7/15/14: The seniors have been adopted together!
On June 24, two 15-year-old German shepherds were surrendered by their owner to the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control facility in Baldwin Park, Calif.
According to a volunteer who visits the facility to take photos of the impounded dogs, the pair had been adopted together and lived together for years before being surrendered back to the facility.
The following was written about the elderly pair of dogs:
Ramsee and Angel are two 15 yr old German Shepherds who were adopted together, lived together and now unfortunately, were left together in a high-kill shelter. They have been here since June 24 and need to find a home or rescue now!
The Baldwin Park facility is a high-intake, busy animal control which kills impounded animals when space constraints become an issue. As such, these elderly dogs who have now been behind bars at the facility for several weeks, are in serious danger.
Please take a moment to network on behalf of Ramsee and Angel - these dogs, who are well into their twilight years, deserve to spend the remainder of their days in a home with someone who cares.
Information to help:
- Petharbor link for Angel here
- The shelter thinks that Angel is about 16 years old
- Adopt-A-Pet link for Ramsee here
- Ramsee ID number 7167501-A1318637
- Los Angeles County Animal Control - Baldwin Park at (626) 962-3577
- Facebook thread here
- Please direct all inquiries about these dogs to the facility where they are being held

Celebrity Cross-Breeds
Celebrities like to intermingle. This next game imagines some creative combinations of the rich and famous that make "Brangelina" look tame. For example, if you merged the singer of "Candle in the Wind" with the mobster nicknamed the "Dapper Don," you'd get Elton John Gotti. Saturday night's alright for fighting, indeed.
Let's bring up our next two fearless contestants. We have Diana Tenery and Samantha Boardman.
EISENBERG: Diana, you are a hard-core competitive bridge player.
DIANA TENERY: Sort of.
EISENBERG: Sort of. That's not how a bridge player talks about themselves, Diana. I know that you're the real thing. So watch it, Samantha, you have some big heat over here, all right? But Diana, I want you to know that Samantha is a voice actress, and matter of fact, you can hear her when you call 311 in New York City, as she is the voice.
SAMANTHA BOARDMAN: That's true.
EISENBERG: Can you give me a - what do you say when we call? What is your voice?
BOARDMAN: It's like "welcome to 311 in New York City. We're here to help, but if it's an emergency call 911" and then it goes into alternate side, et cetera, et cetera.
EISENBERG: Yeah.
JOHN CHANESKI: You're not really selling it, Samantha.
EISENBERG: But that is you.
BOARDMAN: It is. It is.
EISENBERG: Yeah, all right.
BOARDMAN: Yeah.
EISENBERG: We're going to play some games with you that I think you're going to be able to deal well with.
CHANESKI: I hope so.
EISENBERG: Jonathan, what is the game?
JONATHAN COULTON: We're going to do some genetic engineering. We're going to merge the names of two celebrities to create a new mega celebrity. We call this game Celebrity Crossbreeds.
COULTON: So here's an example. If I merged the singer of "Candle in the Wind" with the mobster nicknamed the "Dapper Don," you would get Elton John Gotti.
COULTON: So you see, it's Elton John and John Gotti. The last name of the first celebrity is the first name of the second celebrity.
EISENBERG: Saturday night's all right for fighting.
COULTON: That's right.
COULTON: In this case, it is particularly all right for fighting, that's right.
COULTON: So whoever gets more right will move on to our final round at the end of the show. Are you ready?
BOARDMAN: Ready.
TENERY: Definitely.
COULTON: He spent a Saturday in detention with "The Breakfast Club" followed by 27 years in prison for fighting apartheid.
COULTON: Samantha?
BOARDMAN: Judd Nelson Mandela.
COULTON: That's right.
COULTON: This perennial NBA all-star has led the LA Lakers to five championships while co-hosting NBC's "Today Show" with Jane Pauley.
COULTON: Diana?
TENERY: Kobe Bryant Gumbel.
COULTON: Yes.
COULTON: This rapper won two Grammys as a member of the Fugees but he received the Nobel Prize in Literature as a leading exponent of French existentialism.
COULTON: Samantha?
BOARDMAN: Who is Wyclef Jean-Paul Sartre?
COULTON: Yes.
COULTON: Fantastic, yeah.
EISENBERG: That was awesome. Gone until November is just a meaningless construct of time.
COULTON: Yeah.
COULTON: In "The King's Speech," this Academy Award winning actor played an inflammatory conservative radio talk show host fighting his addiction to oxycodone.
COULTON: Diana?
TENERY: Jeffrey Rush Limbaugh.
COULTON: That's right.
EISENBERG: They are tied.
COULTON: It is all tied up, very exciting.
This Hawaiian singer is best known for his rendition of "Tiny Bubbles" as well as his leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
COULTON: Diana?
TENERY: Don Ho Chi Minh.
COULTON: That's right.
TENERY: That's just wrong.
EISENBERG: It's fun to say, though, right?
TENERY: It's just wrong.
EISENBERG: I love it.
COULTON: You're right. It's wrong in a lot of ways.
COULTON: Her experience winning the individual and team gold medals in the 2012 London Olympics inspired her humorous science fiction novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Gymnastics."
COULTON: Diana?
TENERY: Gabby Douglas Adams.
COULTON: Yes.
EISENBERG: I'm impressed.
COULTON: His breakout performance of "Momma Said Knock You Out" on MTV Unplugged came as a shock after his decades as the megalomaniacal director of the FBI.
COULTON: Samantha?
BOARDMAN: Who is LL Cool J Edgar Hoover.
COULTON: Yes.
EISENBERG: Yep, well, that - everyone should get a point for saying LL Cool J Edgar Hoover in their brain.
EISENBERG: Diana, you won by one point. That was a very close match.
EISENBERG: You'll be moving on to our Ask Me One More final round at the end of the show. Well done. That was very fun. I like that.
COULTON: That was very fun.
EISENBERG: They were excellent. Yeah, I didn't think anyone would get the Wyclef Jean-Paul Sartre.
COULTON: Wyclef Jean-Paul Sartre.
EISENBERG: I know, but that was incredible. All right, LL Cool extraordinaire.

Select a uniformly random integer $n$ between $2^{1024}$ and $2^{1025}$
(Q) What is the probability that n is composite given that $2^{n-1}$ mod $n = 1$ ?
How did you calculate this?
More info:
One way to calculate this would be if you had the following two variables:
$$P_Q(n) = 1 - { P_{prime}(n) \over P_{cong}(n) }$$
- $P_{prime}(n)$ is the probability n is prime
- $P_{cong}(n)$ is the probability that $2^{n-1}$ mod $n = 1$
So answering the following two questions would be sufficient to answer the main one:
What is $P_{prime}(n)$ equal to?
What is $P_{cong}(n)$ equal to ?
(This holds because the probability that n is prime if the congruence is false is 0.)
Based on the PouletNumber forumale given below:
= 123
(2^1025)*exp(-ln(2^1025)*ln(ln(ln(2^1025))) / (2*ln(ln(2^1025)))) -
(2^1024)*exp(-ln(2^1024)*ln(ln(ln(2^1024))) / (2*ln(ln(2^1024))))
= 9.82e263
So its between 123 < x < 9.82e263
And so $P_Q$ is:
3.29e-306 < P_Q < 2.63e-44

Bike Riding
Friday, July 26, 2013
Where I'm from (Western New York), people just have bikes. Sometimes they're used for transportation, sometimes they're used for recreation, but it was never anything serious.
However, where I live (Northern Virginia), there are Bikers: people who have fancy bikes and wear fancy bike clothes and get really serious about biking. I think it has to do with the area being competitive in work and play. I'm not a big fan.
About three years ago, I bought I bike from LL Bean. It was the first bike I had owned since my last bike was stolen in 2001. The LL Bean bike wasn't a Bikers' bike. It squeaked a little when I rode it and on longer rides it made my lower back hurt a little. The Bikers on the trails also intimidated me. Oh and then there's the traffic on the roads, and the need for a heavy-duty lock. I had it for one summer and realized I was not someone who enjoyed the culture of biking -- not here anyway. Because LL Bean has a very liberal return policy, I returned it. (I didn't feel great about returning the bike, but it's not like I was taking advantage of them; it's their policy to allow such returns.)
In the past year or so, bikeshare stations have begun popping up all over. There's one a block from my apartment, another right near work, and lots of places in between. Today I decided to try it out. You can buy a 24-hour pass for $7. You can take out bikes as often as you want in that 24-hour period but you need to return the bike within 30 minutes (or get charged extra).
I'm grateful to live in an urban area with bike lanes. I rode 1.2 miles (home-->library; library-->bank) and then walked from the bank to home. It's not great when there's construction (which I encountered in 2 different places!), but it was fun to be on a bike again, letting the wind flow through my hair. (That's because I was not wearing a helmet because I do not have one. Should I decide to start using the bikeshare more than this one time, I promise to get one. I will miss the wind in my hair, though.)
What's your take on bikes? Do you enjoy it?

It's a goal of mine to start biking, but man it's intimidating!!! Oklahoma is not known for things like bike lanes. And people be crazy.
Are you not required to wear helmets? I think it's law here if you're on city property. This is honestly probably the one thing that I will hate the most. I feel so trapped in a helmet, like I can't see or hear enough of what I need to, and that I can't turn my head to react quickly enough to the things around me. I do not like that feeling!
The bike share idea is nice! I've read about it in other cities. Who is responsible for the upkeep of the bikes? Do you have to worry about dropping a chain in the middle of your ride, etc? Or are they checked/serviced in between riders?

Oops. Forgot I wanted to include this link. I always think of Dave Eggers & this review he wrote when I hear people discuss recreational bikers vs hardcore bikers. I never did pick up the book, but it's probably pretty interesting.

I have just renewed my love of biking, now that all my kids can ride on 2 wheels. But, with children come responsibility & setting examples. So, I wear a helmet every time we ride on the bike trails. I miss the wind through my hair feeling! The sacrifices we make for children ;)
Our neighborhood is becoming a big biking 'hood, but Cincinnati folk in general aren't great driving around bikers. I'm a bit nervous riding on the streets & stick to the bike trails around town. We are getting more & more bike lanes though. There's a pretty active bike community that is pushing awareness & it's much improved over 3-5 years ago.

I always wanted to try the bikeshare when I was living in DC (moved to CO in May). I think I never did because of the Huge hill i lived on, I would never had made it up on the bike. I get you with the hardcore bikers there. I'm an avid DC-hater, so it is hard for me to say nice things about the city. But, the bikeshare program seemed like a really great service. I went biking a couple times at Great Falls. So pretty! I think there's actually more bikers and bike lanes in the town I live in, but they are mostly hippies or college kids. They have their own set of annoyances to me (seriously..texting and biking...biking with no hands...they run red lights all the time like in DC too). Seriously bikers, follow the law!

Love bikes. Hate traffic. My city is not very bike friendly. I wish I had more open roads to ride on. I don't bother with bike trails because they're too crowded. My bike is hardly anything fancy. It's heavy and not very fast. It's 25(?) years old and I paid all of $80 for it brand new. I think I paid more for a better saddle than I did for the bike! But it serves my purpose and I like it. I haven't been riding much lately, but when my schedule is normal I'll try to get out and ride 2 or 3 times a week. Bikes are fun! But get a helmet...

I've always liked bikes. growing up my dad, brother and I would ride our bike a few blocks to a local park and ride the trail. One time I followed my crazy brother up a hill to ride down. Lack of exerience and well being a big girl I went down the steep end not a good idea and I rolled all the way to the foot of the small hill lol. An old couple wanted to call for help, but I was OK just a lil banged up from my knees and elbows. I haven't been on one since then. Hubby and I want to get one though and take our Nicolas on strolls! I would totally love to have bike lanes in my area so i can use it to all the near by places by my house instead of spending gas!

I enjoy my bike. I have metroparks that I can use so I do not have to worry about a lot of traffic. Also here in Ohio I do not really have to contend with the really avid bike riders. Remember, you are just as good as they are and deserve to ride where you want.

I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 (server, x64) under ESXi 5.0 and it appears to be working fine, but when it boots I get the following message:
* Starting load fallback graphics devices [fail]
Everything seems to be working fine but the error message is bothering me. The server is headless (ie. running as a virtual machine).
Anybody know anything about this message? Can it be fixed?
(There appears to be another unanswered question the same as mine: "load fallback graphics devices" problem)

Regal Knitwear Co. v. Labor Board
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Regal Knitwear Co. v. Labor Board, 324 U.S. 9 (1945)
Regal Knitwear Co. v. National Labor Relations Board
No. 86
Argued December 8, 1944
Decided January 29, 1945
1. A cease and desist order of the National Labor Relations Board and an order of the Circuit Court of Appeals for its enforcement may validly provide that the order shall apply to the employer's "successors and assigns." P. 324 U. S. 16.
2. An order of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the enforcement of a cease and desist order of the Board, though applying in terms to "successors and assigns," would have a scope no broader than that prescribed by Rule 65 of the Rules of Civil Procedure for the District Courts --
"Every order granting an injunction and every restraining order . . . is binding only upon the parties to the action, their officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and upon those persons in active concert or participation with them who receive actual notice of the order by personal service or otherwise."
3. Whether one brings himself in contempt of an enforcement order as a "successor" or "assign" depends on an appraisal of his relations and behavior, not upon mere construction of the terms of the order. P. 324 U. S. 15.
140 F.2d 746 affirmed.
Certiorari, 323 U.S. 692, to review a decree granting enforcement of an order of the National Labor Relations Board.

Enjoying desserts that are warm such as pies, cobblers or just lightly heated cut up fruits brings out extra flavor to these treats. Adding a low-fat topping with a light sprinkle of brown sugar provides that added touch whipped cream usually does to ice cream without the added calories. So next time you want to enjoy some fruit but still want a little something extra try this topping before grabbing for something else that will tack on more calories.
- ¼ cup of reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon of fat-free milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar
- Combine the sour cream, milk and vanilla in a small bowl and mix well.
- Pour the dessert topping over warm fruit or pies and sprinkle on the brown sugar.
- Serve while dessert is warm.
- Enjoy!

Rite Aid offers a very enticing Single Check Rebate program and distributes coupons via Rite Aid Ad Perks. You must create an account to participate in these programs. Rite Aid sales run Sunday-Saturday, with the exception of some Southern California stores, whos' ad cycles run Friday-Thursday.
While there is no set page for Their coupon policy The Krazy Coupon Lady did get an email from Corporate on it and that can be seen HERE.
The best deals at Rite Aid utilize the Single Check Rebate (SCR) system. Instead of receiving Register Rewards like Walgreens, or Extra Bucks like CVS, which can only be used in the store, Rite Aid sends you a monthly check for the total of all your rebates purchased during that month. You can cash the check as you would any other check or use it in-store to pay for you purchases!
Do I have to clip UPC codes and mail in my receipts to get rebates?
NO! Rite Aid's program is as easy as they come! When I get home from the store, I log in to my Rite aid account and fill out four boxes store #, register #, transaction # and date. That's it! If you prefer, you may keep all your receipts until the end of the month and enter them all at once.
How do I know which Items have rebates?
Every month, Rite Aid offers rebates on different items. You can find them in the weekly store ad– the price will read $5.99 product, 2.99 after "Single Check Rebate". The entire list for the month is available at
What is the offer period for rebates? Are they valid from the 1st-31st of the month?
NO! The above link to RiteAid.Rebateplus will tell you the exact offer period. It is not a calendar month. In August 2009, the rebate period is July 26th-August 29th.
How long does it take to get your rebate in the mail?
You may request your check once per month. Make sure to wait until the end of the month, or you won't be able to take advantage of other SCR offers. You'll receive your check within a week of your request. It's mailed to you and looks like a post card.
How many rebates can I submit? When an item is "Free after Rebate" may I buy 20 of them?
NO! SCRs are usually limit one per household. You cannot submit more than one rebate per household.
Rite Aid has Store Coupons which can be 'stacked' with a manufacturer coupon, meaning you may use two coupons on one product, as long as one is a store coupon and the other a manufacturer. Store Coupons can be found in the weekly ads and printable coupons.
Do you really "make money" at Rite Aid?
YES! Usually each week, Rite Aid advertises items that are "Free after Rebate", they call them Frebates! Few Weeks ago Bausch and Lomb contact solution was $9.99 with a $9.99 rebate. I printed a $2.00 off coupon, so I paid $7.99 out of pocket and will receive the full $9.99 rebate. That is what I call a "moneymaker". You still pay out of pocket, but your rebate check can exceed your out of pocket expense.
**TIP** If you think it sounds fun, take your first month's Rebate Check and buy a gift card to Rite Aid. This will help you see just how much money you're saving because you'll never have to pay cash again!
I have a $5 off $25 printed coupon. Is the $25 minimum purchase before or after coupons?
Spend $25 before coupons! These $5 off coupons are a sure way to make money. Last week, I purchased nearly all the items that were 'Free after Rebate, FAR' and my subtotal was $26.26. I FIRST handed over my $5 off $25 purchase coupon, then I used about 8 dollars off in manufacturer coupons. I paid $13 out of pocket and will receive rebates for $23.00, so I made $10.00!
My Rite Aid never stocks for their rebate items and they're always out of stock by the time I get there! Is there anything I can do?
YES! Rite Aid offers Rain Checks for rebate items! Here's how you make Rain Checks work:
•Ask the cashier for a raincheck.
•Cut out the weekly ad that gives price and rebate info and keep it with your rain check.
•Rain check expires in 30 days (if your item hasn't been restocked, you can get another rain check as long as you take it back in within 30 days)
•When you redeem your raincheck, the picture from the weekly ad will help you and your cashier. Make sure your receipt prints the word "raincheck"; you'll need this to submit for rebate.
•If you purchase outside the offer period, the automated SCR program online won't recognize your receipt for the rebate, so you have to mail or fax it in.
•Mail to:
Riteaid Single Check Rebates
PO Box 8340
Wilmington, DE 19803
Fax to: 1-800-457-2243
Include your username, full name, address and contact info. Also include the rebate number, which month the SCR was offered and the dollar amount owed to you. Wait for your account to show the rebate credit. You may have to call or email, firstname.lastname@example.com, follow up. Kind of a pain, but for larger rebate values, it's worth it to me.
Things to remember
Most rebates have a limit of one per household. It could be a rebate period that is a week long or that lasts the entire month. Unless stated differently assume that it is a limit of one.
If you want to buy a second one, you will need to purchase it in a second transaction and then you will need to set up a Rite Aid account with a different name and address. They will only mail one rebate to each house hold. This is a little tedious for most and helps to keep people to getting just the limit.
In ad coupons for Rite Aid will always say "Manufacturer Coupon". They are not! They are store coupons and can still be used with a true manufacturer coupon. If your store attempts to tell you differently use the weekly ad to point out that in many places they ad will recommend that you do this!

Sarah Silverman has been criticized by Bill O'Reilly of Fox News' "O'Reilly Factor" following the comedian's release of a video in which she discusses abortion with a foul-mouthed Jesus. Of Sarah Silverman, O'Reilly's outrage at her video has heightened to the point that he says he would like to throw a pie at her. According to an Inquisitr report on Friday, O'Reilly finds her video extremely offensive - as do many other viewers of the video.
In the video, Sarah Silverman hears Jesus tell her that "Fertilized eggs aren't people. People are people." Beyond getting controversial with the abortion issue, the Jesus in Silverman's routine says the unspeakable "F-word" as well.
Joining O'Reilly on his program was conservative-talker Laura Ingraham who bashed Silverman earlier in the day by saying that Silverman is a degenerate, foul-mouthed slob of a person.
Silverman also spoke to a comment that Mike Huckabee recently made to the Republican National Committee when he said – at their annual winter meeting – "<Women need to> control their libido." To that, Silverman asserted, "I guess I'm stunned, but at the same time, it's so bizarre. <Huckabee> says he wants women to control their libido… I, too, would like to control my libido and my reproductive system."
She also said, "These are people who are anti-big government, and yet they want to make laws about my vagina, and what I do with my body." Silverman went on to say that she didn't think that would be tolerated if there was legislation regarding a man's body.
It's safe to say that Silverman is getting a long way from what find funny at all – especially for an alleged comedian. It's also safe to say that Silverman and the team of Bill O'Reilly, Laura Ingraham, and Mike Huckabee won't be agreeing on anything social or political in the near future. For certain, "team O'Reilly" and Silverman don't agree on what Silverman must think is comedic.

The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process (e-book) by David Berceli
Life is stressful, anxiety provoking, and frequently traumatic. The result is that many of us are hurting, and often we are unaware of how deep our hurt runs.
The painful experiences we go through aren't simply "over and done with" once we pass through them, however. They each leave their mark, etched deep into both the psyche and the body, affecting how well we function from this point onwards.
The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process shows, in simple language, the effects that stress, anxiety, and trauma have on our mental wellbeing and our physical health. We discover that trauma is par for the course in any life, but that even the most damaging events can become a pathway to a more fulfilling and meaningful experience.
The magic of the approach of David Berceli's Trauma Release Process is that it can be utilized by anyone, any place on the planet, even when professional help is beyond the individual's reach. A person can use the process either as a stand-alone stress reduction or trauma release process or in conjunction with other modalities. The exercises are versatile and can be used to affect a wide range of hyperarousal states such as anxiety, irritability, exaggerated, startle response, etc. These exercises can help to reestablish a person's psychophysical homeostasis by relaxing body tension and returning them to an emotionally healthy place.
Therapists, counselors, life coaches, together with emergency response personnel, will find the Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) detailed by Berceli a powerful adjunct in their work of restoring wholeness to human life everywhere.
The Chinese Government has chosen Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) as one of four modalities to be used in the recovery assistance program of the earthquake survivors of Sichuan Province.
TRE Self-Regulation Guidelines:
These exercises should be done only if they are pleasurable and you feel safe and grounded in the process. If you begin to experience physical pain adjust your position and/or modify the speed or intensity in a way that relieves the pain. If no adjustment and/or modification can be found, stop the process, sit up and get a glass of water.
If you are feeling emotionally overwhelmed and/or uncomfortable, slow down or stop the TRE process until you feel safe and grounded again. Once again sit up and get a glass of water.
If you are doing TRE for the first time, TRE®, LLC recommend you only tremor for a maximum of 15 minutes and only do TRE 3 or 4 times a week.
Once you have learned the skills of "self regulation" and you have been doing TRE for a few weeks you can lengthen your tremor time and/or increase your frequency at your own discretion.!
Special Conditions and Directives:
It is imperative that persons with any clinical diagnoses or psychiatric conditions, or persons taking medications for any diagnoses or conditions, consult their medical professional or a Certified TRE Provider* to ensure they learn TRE self-regulation appropriately and correctly. It is your responsibility to match your needs with the skills of your Certified TRE® Provider. You can contact a Certified TRE Provider if you have questions or if you feel anxious, confused and/or concerned.
*Certified TRE Providers have a wide range of professional expertise, skills and experiences. It is your responsibility to research the qualifications of the person you contact to make sure they have the knowledge, skills & experience you need for your particular situation. Each provider is independent of TRE, LLC and it is their responsibility to work within their scope of practice and license

Box score
STANFORD, Calif. – Taylor Uhl scored two goals for the third consecutive match, helping No. 2 Stanford to a 5-0 nonconference women's soccer victory over Saint Mary's on Thursday at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.
Stanford (6-0-1) extended its home unbeaten streak to 72 while earning its fourth shutout of the season. Chioma Ubogagu, starting in midfield for the first time, and Lo'eau LaBonta each scored their first goals of the season and an own goal by the Gaels (3-6-0) completed the scoring.
Uhl, a junior transfer from Minnesota, leads the Cardinal with eight goals, including seven in the past four matches.
The victory also was the 100th in the collegiate careers of fifth-year seniors Courtney Verloo and goalkeeper Aly Gleason. Since they arrived on The Farm in 2009, Stanford has gone 100-4-5.
Ubogagu opened the scoring in the 23rd minute after a weaving run at the top of the box. Her left-footed shot was partially deflected by goalkeeper Kaeli Schmidt, but was struck so hard it found its way into the net.
Uhl provided the next two. In the 30th minute, Ryan Walker-Hartshorn supplied a pass from the right. Uhl settled the ball, cut to her right, and then struck a hard shot inside the upper right corner -- a true golazo.
She made it 3-0 by first-timing a cross from Verloo by getting a step ahead of a defender with better position.
LaBonta scored in the 69th minute when Verloo sent a short corner to Natalie Griffen, who chipped a ball into the box and LaBonta met it with a header from 10 yards.
Stanford next plays Sunday in a South Bay showdown at No. 22 Santa Clara in a 7 p.m. contest televised on ESPNU.

Cadillac Escalade, EXT and ESV Forum - 1999 - 2006 Discussion, 2000 Escalade question on rear hatch? in Cadillac Escalade Forums; Hey all, I am new to the forum, I am looking to buy a 2000 Escalade in a few months, ...
2000 Escalade question on rear hatch?
Hey all, I am new to the forum, I am looking to buy a 2000 Escalade in a few months, and I have been looking around at some on the net, and I have a question. What's up with the split rear doors vs the tailgate/glass hatch one? Was it just an option in '99 and '00 if you wanted that it was ordered? Or does it mean something, like the split door ones are 3rd row seaters, and the tailgate version is not, etc? I really don't like the split rear door at all, so I will find a tailgate one for sure, just curious why there was 2 different ones.
I LOVE these SUV's, and can't wait to get one. I would love a '02+ model but they are out of my range right now. I currently drive a '99 Hugger Orange Camaro SS, my website is out of date if you go to it, I have 18" Chrome Z06 wheels on it now, and more mods, etc.
Well, thanks for any help and I look forward to hanging out here!
Re: 2000 Escalade question on rear hatch?
you could get either style in either year..
i just picked up a 99 and i had to have a tailgate style, the barn doors are a big obstruction in my opinion. look around for the perfect truck and good luck finding it, it is out there. and dont settle for something you dont want.

Re: 2000 Escalade question on rear hatch?
never seen one with spilt doors.
I just picked up a 2000 Escalade and I love it. So far I haven't seen one like it. It white with factory 17in spilt five stars made by Niche w/some meaty tires. I need to take some pic's so I can post them.
I just want a 3rd row seat now.
Re: 2000 Escalade question on rear hatch?Originally Posted by White00Lade
damn when i was looking that is all i could find
lucky you
but i found my special tailgate one and she is all mine
Re: 2000 Escalade question on rear hatch?
Thanks for the reply. Yeah I hate the split door ones, so I am gonna hold out until I find the one I want. It's gonna have 22's on it for sure, no other way to go, the factory wheels are just too small for these big SUV's.
Re: 2000 Escalade question on rear hatch?
I have the split doors on my '00 and like them. I pull a trailer from time to time and the split doors work very well with the crank on the trailer hitch. The posts obstruct some of the view out the back doors, but it hasn't bothered me. I also don't have to open the whole back end, which is real handy with the dogs.:rolleyes2

April 17, 2012
STANFORD, Calif. - The Cardinal lacrosse team will wrap up its regular season this week with three conference games. Stanford will first travel to UC Davis and California, before returning home to host Saint Mary's in the season finale.
Stanford takes on UC Davis on Wednesday, April 18, at 7pm, and Cal on Friday, April 20, at 5pm. Sunday, Stanford will celebrate senior day at 1pm when it faces Saint Mary's. Stanford seniors Anna Boeri, Emilie Boeri, Maria Fortino and Catherine Swanson will be honored before the game.
Stanford now sits in fourth place in the MPSF with a 2-2 record and will need to finish in the top four to secure a spot in the MPSF tournament. Oregon and Denver are tied atop the conference at 6-0, while Cal is third at 4-2. UC Davis poses the only threat to knocking Stanford out of the top four as it sits in fifth at 2-3.
Stanford can lock up a spot in the conference tournament with a win over the Aggies on Wednesday. The Cardinal are 22-3 all-time against UC Davis, including defeating the Aggies 21-9 last season at Cagan Stadium. UC Davis is led by Elizabeth Datino who is third in the conference with 44 goals. She has helped the Aggies to a 5-8 record overall.
Friday, the Cardinal travel to California with a chance to move up into third in the conference. The Golden Bears are 8-6 overall and are led by Alexa Rozelle who has a team-leading 34 goals. Stanford is 24-7 all-time against Cal, including defeating the Golden Bears twice last season. Stanford last lost to Cal during the 2008 regular season, but has won seven in a row since.
Finally, Stanford will host Saint Mary's on Sunday for senior day. The Cardinal is a perfect 24-0 against the Gaels all-time, including a 20-7 win last season. Saint Mary's is 2-10 overall and 0-5 in conference this season. The Gaels are led by Amanda Cross who has tallied 35 goals and 10 assists on the season.
Stanford is looking to build momentum into the postseason, especially with the Cardinal hosting the MPSF tournament. Stanford needs to secure its berth in the tournament first, but then will focus on winning the MPSF postseason title for the eighth-straight season.
After a rough start in the last game against San Diego State, Stanford scored the game's final eight goals and hopes to use that as a springboard for the rest of the season. Anna Kim and Emily Newstrom each scored four goals against SDSU and Newstrom added seven draw controls, which was just one away from the school record.
Following this week's action, Stanford will host the MPSF tournament on April 27 and 29. The winner of the tournament will receive an automatic berth to the NCAA play-in game against the winner of the Patriot League.

VI.5. Grade Appeals
In the event that a student requests to appeal a course grade, the university provides clear procedures to follow, for both undergraduate and graduate appeals. NIU's Academic Policies and Procedures specify that each academic department will establish a Grade Appeals Panel early in each academic year to be available to consider allegations of capricious grading. Some departments may specify in their bylaws the Grade Appeals Panel selection process. From this Panel, a Grade Review Board will be selected for each specific appeal.
Prior to the occurrence of a student allegation of capricious grading, the department chair has several responsibilities. As with any student complaint, the chair should remain a neutral party in the evidentiary process. The chair should also be well-informed about the appeal process before a distraught student appears at the office door and must be able to explain to the student the criteria for capricious grading as explained in APPM. Once the complaint of capricious grading has been formally documented by the student, the chair should direct the student to the grade appeal procedure and follow-up with the faculty member involved. It is imperative that the chair does not apply pressure to a faculty member to change his or her grading criteria; however, that faculty member should be able to explain her or his grading process clearly enough to demonstrate that no capriciousness occurred. Short of clear evidence of capriciousness on the part of the accused faculty member, the department is best served by giving its faculty the benefit of the doubt. As faculty members are committed to fairness in grading and face regular pressure from students to engage in grade inflation, they deserve the chair's support in their efforts to uphold academic standards.

Strengthening Alaska's libraries to provide the best service possible to the people of Alaska.
Alaska libraries have a long and proud tradition of informal collaboration between themselves. When librarians worked together, their projects were said to come from the Alaska Library Network. After more than 30 years of these collaborations, a formal organization was created to administer and coordinate a number of existing programs and services as well as develop new ones. In 2007, the Alaska Library Network became a formal entity and is now an independent non-profit and tax exempt organization working on behalf of all Alaskan libraries.
The Alaska Library Network is a collaborative venture supported by funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act and its member libraries. The network is also sustained through the generous work effort of Alaska Library Network member librarians, the Alaska State Library, and the University of Alaska Consortium Library.

Owen Laukkanen has established himself as a writer to read with original plots and diabolical villains. His police investigations are action packed engrossing reads featuring the unusual pairing of Minnesota State Investigator Kirk Stevens and FBI special agent Carla Windermere, who must find the killers before they strike again. His debut novel, "The Professionals" http://www.amazon.com/The-Professionals-Stevens-Windermere-Novel/dp/0425250490about erudite businessmen who get into the kidnapping racket was a tour de force. His last book, "Criminal Enterprise" http://www.amazon.com/Criminal-Enterprise-Stevens-Windermere-Novel/dp/042526470X/ref=pd_sim_b_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0SA3Q3N0P9BBATV5122E explored a bank robber's descent into evil, when he tries to keep up his lifestyle after being laid off from his job.
In "Kill Fee" http://www.amazon.com/Kill-Fee-Stevens-Windermere-Novel/dp/0399165525/ref=pd_sim_b_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0SA3Q3N0P9BBATV5122E, Owen Laukkanen's latest cop - crime thriller, Stevens and Windermere, are at lunch when they witness the assassination of a billionaire. Although Stevens and Windermere give chase they cannot capture the dead eyed assassin.
A few days later, the billionaire's cousin is also killed.
What is the connection?
Stevens, the cop with golden instincts, is tasked by his boss, to protect the family and find out how the two men died. The investigation is complicated by the fact that the two men have nothing in common. He and Windermere join forces and try to track the killer before he strikes again. There are showdowns in Miami and clues at rental car spots.
Laukkanen does not completely depend on suspense. These novels are about both the criminals and the cops. So we soon meet the assassin's shrewd employer, a diabolical businessman, who has started a murder for hire business. His killers --young soldiers fresh from the Iraq War, who he molds and tortures until they are little more than unapologetic killers.
But Lind, his current killer for hire, is starting to feel something. He has met a girl, who cooks him spaghetti.
Laukkanen, also explores in more depth the uneasy relationship between the married Stevens, who loves his wife, and the single and beautiful Windermere, who are attracted to each other. This relationship forms the emotional heart of the novel, but the main star of this roller coaster ride of a novel is their efforts to find the killers before they strike again.
Can Stevens and Windermere figure out the fiendish plot and track Lind and the businessman before they kill again? Help will come from unexpected quarters, but there will be more bloodshed, murder and plenty of action along the way.
Laukkanen is a writer to enjoy.

Many frown upon Friday the 13th because it's a day that is considered unlucky. Unlike in years past, 2014 has only one Friday the 13th on the calendar. It will also be a full moon right after midnight, making this Friday the 13th even spookier. So, how did the dreaded day originate and are the superstitions true? Below is a bit of history about Friday the 13th, some fun facts and superstitions, and events in Atlanta to turn Friday the 13th in 2014 into a fun family day.
The history of Friday the 13th
The earliest reference to Friday the 13th was made in 1869 when Henry Sutherland mentioned the date in his biography on Gioachino Rossini. Since then, Friday the 13th has evolved into a date that as many as 21 million people fear. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia.
The actual origins of the fear of Friday the 13th are unknown, but some believe that Norse mythology might be to blame. According to legend, 12 gods were at a banquet at Valhalla when Loke, the demi god of mischief who was not invited, turned up, bringing the total number of guests to 13. He was responsible for the chaos that led to the death of one of the good gods – Balder – so all the gods grieved. Others believe that Friday the 13th relates to events from the Christian Bible.
The impact of Friday the 13th on society
According to Dr Donald Dossey, author and founder of the Stress Management Center/Phobia Institute, up to 21 million Americans fear Friday the 13th. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines that day. According to T.J. Scanlon in an article titled "Is Friday the 13th Bad for your Health?", businesses can suffer an $800-$900 million dollar loss on Friday the 13th.

Are cloth diapers worth it?
I was looking on walmart.com last night and came across Kushies Washable diapers. They look great. They have the plastic outer layer, flannel inside, they look very un-bulky.. Most of all, they look more like big boy underwear. I plan on easing my son into potty training, and these will supposedly help him realize he's wet. They sound great, but is it worth the $57 dollars for five and the effort that comes with cloth diapers? Any opinions would be appreciated.

Ryan Winther is long. Short sentence for the longest golf ball driver ever. If you follow golf and long drive at all you are familiar with the drivezillas of that sport. They're all studs. Ryan is just the studdest of them all.

Just by-the-bye, he will be attempting to better his own record of 217.1 mph. Also, for some further by-the-bye, his ball speed has been unofficially clocked at the Titleist Performance Institute at around 230 mph, but don't let that detract from the suspense, as if he does it, you will be witness to a world record.
The record setting attempt will come on Friday after the tournament where he and Isaac Sanchez, two-time Golf Channel Big Break Show competitor will put on an exhibition. Following that there will be a free golf clinic.
The event will also feature numerous retired professional athletes from the sports of football and baseball. The celebs will be paired with each foursome and may be bid on auction style at the pairings party. The event is, the 2014 Ryan Winther charity Golf Classic. On Thursday, April 10, there will be a pairings party and auction benefitting junior golf.

Landing is scheduled for 3:32 a.m. CST Tuesday at Kennedy Space Center, Fla. The weather forecast for landing calls for generally acceptable conditions with only a slight chance of rain showers developing offshore.
Commander Scott Altman, Pilot Duane Carey, and Mission Specialist Nancy Currie will test Columbia's mechanical maneuvering systems at 12:47 a.m. CST Monday to ensure they will be able to steer the shuttle on the correct path for landing. They also will test the reaction control system jets at 1:47 a.m. for assured maneuverability during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Crewmates Mike Massimino, John Grunsfeld, Rick Linnehan and Jim Newman will help pack away the equipment used throughout the mission.
The crew also will take time to answer questions from middle school students at the Maryland Science Center and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science at 10:12 p.m. The crew news conference with reporters at Kennedy and the Johnson Space Center in Houston is scheduled for 11:57 p.m. Sunday.
The song "Floating" by the Moody Blues awakened the crew at 7:22 p.m. Sunday. The song was dedicated to first-time fliers, pilot "Digger" and spacewalker Massimino.
Tuesday's primary landing opportunity to Kennedy would begin with a deorbit engine firing by Columbia at 2:22 a.m. CST leading to the 3:32 a.m. touchdown. A second landing opportunity also is available for Kennedy on Tuesday, beginning with an engine firing at 4:05 a.m. leading to a touchdown at 5:13 a.m.
Although opportunities do exist for landing at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., shuttle managers plan to focus Tuesday only on a landing in Florida. Additional landing opportunities are available Wednesday, in both Florida and California.
The crew will begin a sleep period at 11:22 a.m. Monday.

Having become a full medal sport in 2000 at the Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, Taekwondo has grown into the world's most practiced martial art. With the formation of the Korea Taekwondo Association in 1965 and the founding of the World Taekwondo Federation in 1973, these played principle events in popularizing Taekwondo worldwide.
The Korean art of self-defense actually began to flourish in the United States during the 1960's and although difficult to pinpoint an exact number, it is estimated that 90 million people throughout 200 countries are practitioners of Taekwondo.
In the United States alone, estimates place that 70% of all martial artists practice or have practiced the style. With the continual rise in acclamation, the sport continues to draw athletes seeking to compete at a higher level and training camps flourish in the goal of meeting the demands of these competitors.
Peak Performance Sport Taekwondo will be hosting a two-day training camp in Kissimmee, Florida at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center on November 8-9, 2014. The website explains:
"This intensive TWO-DAY program will provide an elite training experience for junior and senior Taekwondo athletes. A world-class coaching staff will provide instruction on the techniques and strategies necessary to excel in competition. Participants will have the opportunity to train with members of the USA Olympic Team, USA National Team and numerous international athletes."
The camp director will be Juan Moreno, 3-time USA Olympian, 2-time Olympic Silver Medalist, Head Coach of the USA National Team between 2005 and 2012 and Head Coach of the USA Olympic Team and USA National Team during 2008-2012.
The site also points out that "An Award Ceremony and Reception will be held in the Sun Ballroom of the Gaylord Palms Hotel on Sunday November 9 from 6:00-10:00 pm. The coaching staff will present awards to select camp participants."
The training camp will provide top-winning staff members to assist in the event and those wishing to participate may do so through their registration page.

Many positive changes have resulted from the work of activist groups, and activism still benefits society nowadays in various ways. However, Keva Silversmith, author of "A PR Practitioner's Guide to Activist Groups: When and How to Respond," considers that activist campaigns are often so far outside the normal course of business that it becomes a challenge for any executive to handle them. Moreover, executives rarely take time to ponder upon this situation and to discover efficient methods of dealing with it.
In "A PR Practitioner's Guide to Activist Groups: When and How to Respond," Keva Silversmith calls the lack of action from the executives' part 'naivety,' which in his opinion can be both institutional and individual. He said that activist groups use well-thought tactics and strategies in order to exploit this naivety.
Furthermore, Keva Silversmith has a different perspective on a company's response to activist demands: he considers that it is firstly a business decision, and that the communication-related aspect is only secondary. It is at this point that the public relations department becomes the main focus of both clever activists and overwhelmed executives, as they all come looking for answers.
As a public relations professional, Keva Silversmith drew from his extensive experience in order to write a straight-to-the-point, useful guide. He relies on relevant, present-day examples to back-up his claims and to provide to the reader an efficient approach to dealing with activist groups. Business executives, entrepreneurs, PR practitioners, and corporate leaders, all of them can benefit from reading "A PR Practitioner's Guide to Activist Groups: When and How to Respond." K. Silversmith's book will teach you how to better manage the challenge posed by activist campaigns.
You may find "A PR Practitioner's Guide to Activist Groups" on Amazon, where it will be available for free on 4/23 and 4/24.

Postgame Notes
April 7, 2011
Mikey Kenney's home run in the seventh inning was her third of the season and first since hitting two dingers on Feb. 20 in two separate games against Bryant and Utah Valley. The homer moved the sophomore into sole possession of fourth on the school's career chart with 18.
Kenney's home run also prevented Tech from being shutout for the first time this season.
Tech's two errors in the game were its first since committing two miscues against Boston University on March 19 at the USF The Game Tournament.
The Red Raiders' two hits in the game matched their season low set a couple weeks ago in the series opener against Missouri on March 26.
With her second inning walk, Emily Bledsoe has now reached base in 40 of Tech's 41 games this season. Bledsoe struck out and flew out to left in her other two at-bats in the game.
Tech's starting battery in the game of pitcher Kermitria Ward and catcher Holley Gentsch grew up near Baylor's campus in Waco as the duo both attended Midway High School.
