There are many crown jewels of Eureka. The waterfront, Humboldt Bay herself, Old Town, the Carson Mansion, the Sequoia Zoo, and of course, the Bayshore Mall. The beauty of community is the way one location can wrap itself around all the senses. Eureka does that in many ways. The place on a supreme recommendation for taste, however, and a place for enjoyment, good food, and a night out on the town, would be Lost Cost Brewery.
To test the modern-day surrealism of taste among Eureka natives, avid beer critics Frenchie and Swarley went to Lost Coast recently to review a few seasonal beverages from Lost Coast's Taster assortment. On the menu of Lost Coast, Tasters are offered as a small sampling of the wide variety of monumental happenings that LCB offers to the pleased consumer. A tiny glass is presented to the consumer, a glass that rivals that of the standard shot glass, and the brew can be sampled in a fashion as tiny as the glass; small, but sweet. Whomever constructed this idea was a fan of the old term of endearment we still use today, "Big things come in small packages."
So Swarley and Frenchie sat down and reviewed 4 of the seasonal drinks available on the Taster menu. The 4 selections: Hop Cat, Java, Imperial 8 Ball Stout, and Winterbraun. Going by a scale of 1-5 (5 being "that's awesome" and 1 being "that is the exact opposite of anything awesome"), Frenchie and Swarley drank, sampled, and critiqued. Here are their reviews and findings:
Hop Cat is a strong spin-off of the more popular Alleycat that LCB fanatics have come to enjoy over the years. It is an Amber, so to the eyes, it is nothing more than a glass with orange in it. But don't underestimate Hop Cat, because like the Trojan horse, it has something inside: amazing taste. Our two critics have no realized this yet, and meet eyes in that traditional way and do cheers (Random Fact: In Germany, it is high superstition that if you don't meet someone's eyes when you do cheers with them, there will be a problem with your offspring when they are born. Many believe this came from old Yiddish traditions).
In unison, they each take a drink, and process, then give us this:
"Really good for an Amber. It dances on my tongues." -Frenchie.
"It tingles when it goes down." -Swarley
End votes:
Frenchie: 4
Swarley: 4
Java could not only be a mystery to the eyes upon view (it appears as a very dark ale, porter, or even lager, you can decide as a taste-tester if you ever indulge), but as Frenchie and Swarley are about to find out, one as far as taste is considered as well. Java has a unique ingredient, and its name is testiment to that. You guessed it! Coffee beans! Upon an examination, it's cheers again:
"It tastes like straight Kuhlua!" Frenchie says with a hint of enthusiam on her face.
"It almost tastes like cold coffee with ice in it. But then I taste the hops, and am reminded that it is beer." Says Swarley.
End votes:
Frenchie: 2
Swarley: 3
Winterbraun is a seasonal with a divine chocolate taste and a hint of caramel malts. Like Winter, it looks to the eye like a strong definition of yuletide beginnings: pleasent, joyous, and wonderous. Once again, it's cheers for Frenchie and Swarley:
"Good dark ale! Not for the faint-hearted. It's really robust, like blows up in your throat! Not for the Tangerine drinkers!" Frenchie says, refering to the Tangerine brew that is also on LCB's menu.
"I could totally drink this over again!" Says Swarley before he takes another sip.
End votes:
Frenchie: 3
Swarley: 4.010117
Oak Barrels. That is the key of amazing when it comes to Imperial 8 Ball Stout. What once starts out as a simple concoction of brew flows into oak barrels. When it resurfaces, like a Phoenix from the flame, Imperial 8 Ball Stout shines from the pint glass to the unknowing world. This unknowing factor is about to occur to Frenchie and Swarley. Cheers, kids:
"Whoaaa! High-high alcohol content kick! I feel like I just chased my beer with Ketel One!" Says Frenchie.
"It's like a wave: it goes down and climbs back up with flavor." Swarley begins, pausing as his eyes begin to water, "Though its strong even to the avid beer drinker, be safe knowing that it is not Kilt Lifter."
End votes:
Frenchie: 5
Swarley: 5
So the night concludes for Frenchie and Swarley, and they depart knowing that they have reviewed a fine selection of fine drinks from a great establishment known as Lost Coast Brewery. And Lost Coast Brewery overshot its expectations. For the search for taste in Eureka was found.
Always tip your bartender!

TDD/TTY and Nextalk
Page Content
A TDD/TTY (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf/Text Telephone Yoke) unit is essentially a physical device that looks much like a simple computer terminal and uses graphic communications in the transmission of coded signals. Nextalk/Textnet services enable PCs to function like a TDD/TTY unit and allow callers to be routed to any user within an agency or at other agencies. Callers may leave messages that can be forwarded through email and outgoing calls can be typed through the PC.
All State agencies are required to be able to communicate with the deaf and hard of hearing so it is expected that each agency would have at least one unit to communicate with such a caller.
BCCS telecommunications services are available to all state agencies, boards, commissions, universities, offices of the Illinois House and Senate, and Constitutional Officers.

LITH Youth Among Three Arrested For Vandalism Spree
Crystal Lake police said Cleveland L. Wiggins and Zachary J. Mecko, both 18, both from Crystal Lake, and the LITH boy were in a car they stopped after a salt truck driver saw someone bashing a stop sign with a crowbar Sunday evening.
Wiggins and Mecko were each charged with two counts of criminal damage to property and released after posting $150 bond. The LITH youth was charged with only one count and released to his parents.

More than two years into the Phoenix Coyotes ownership saga, Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs has raised concerns about the city's talks with potential team buyers, saying she wants the City Council to play a larger role in guiding deal-making.
She said city administrators, who handle negotiations, haven't always provided the council with updates on talks and that her efforts to get more details and more involved have been rebuffed. Scruggs said she would favor an outside consultant to help get a deal done.
Glendale, it's time to deliver on Coyotes
Councilman Phil Lieberman, not known for siding with the mayor, said he's "starving for more information."
This week's criticism came after Matthew Hulsizer walked away from a nearly one-year pursuit to own the franchise.
"I truly believe he was the best owner for the team," Scruggs told The Arizona Republic.
This spring, Scruggs had taken to the bully pulpit to support Hulsizer's bid and to remind skeptics of Glendale's economic need to keep the team.
The city invested $180 million to open Jobing.com Arena in 2003 with the Coyotes as the main tenant. Sales taxes generated from thousands of hockey fans shopping and dining at nearby Westgate City Center pay a chunk of the city's debt. That could be in jeopardy if the city can't secure an arena lease with a buyer.
The National Hockey League has been a temporary owner since bringing the franchise out of bankruptcy in 2009.
A majority of council members aren't ready to toss the city's process. Norma Alvarez, Joyce Clark, Yvonne Knaack and Manny Martinez said they are satisfied with the flow of information and confident of securing a new buyer, who offers a better deal than Hulsizer.
"The goal is to be done in the fall," City Manager Ed Beasley said this week.
That can't be soon enough for Coyotes fans, who this week expressed varying degrees of fury, fatigue and numbness at Glendale's inability, thus far, to seal a lease with a permanent owner.
Beasley said he and the staff have sought a deal that would meet council goals: the team stays in Glendale, the deal does not hurt city revenues and that it generate money for the city over the long haul.
He said the staff presents the council, in closed-door sessions, with concepts of each bid and asks council members for permission to move forward.
Beasley said he and other officials provide the council with updates when bids have been vetted and appear likely to meet their standards.
"It takes time," he said. "You don't want to bring something forward that can't be financed, that the banks won't fund, that won't meet the basic criteria that council set forward."
However, Scruggs and Lieberman say the negotiation updates have been too infrequent. The council waited six weeks for an update between May and June.
Both longtime elected officials recalled receiving more detail and speaking with attorneys during past negotiations, such as those for Westgate or the NFL stadium about 10 years ago.
"We do not do that anymore," Lieberman said. "Staff does 100 percent of it."
In most cases, council members see fewer documents and more PowerPoint slides during closed-door sessions, Lieberman and Scruggs said.
Clark, who has at times called for more updates, said the staff has provided more details of late.
Alvarez, Knaack and Martinez said they are for the most part satisfied with the frequency and content of information staff has shared.
The mayor said she feels "hamstrung" by rules that prevent more council involvement.
Scruggs and other council members have one primary method of bringing up items for discussion at council meetings or workshops. They must ask for more information during a workshop, and the staff will come back with a response in the following quarter. From there, it could make its way onto a meeting agenda.
In cities such as Peoria and Surprise, the mayors have a greater ability to lead discussion as they can place items on the agenda. It's not quite as easy for other council members, although still possible in both cities.
Scruggs said concerns about her inability to move an issue forward based on procedures have been there a long time. Because they have gone unaddressed, she decided to speak out.
"I'm stepping away from the role I usually play as chief cheerleader," Scruggs said.
The mayor said now was the right time to speak out because the situation has grown dire.
Sen. John McCain, who has supported the Hulsizer deal, took to Twitter around midweek to say: "As a @phoenixcoyotes fan, I totally agree - Glendale needs help from a professional." He was referencing a Republic editorial that called for the city to bring in an outside negotiator to get the deal done.
Scruggs said she would support a short-term consultant who would report to the City Council and city staff.
The city has now seen its third deal fall apart. The city last year approved preliminary deals, which later crumbled, with Jerry Reinsdorf and Ice Edge Holdings.
The agreement with Hulsizer had made it furthest, with the council in December approving a lease with the Chicago businessman.
The deal stalled when the Goldwater Institute said the city's plan to pay Hulsizer $197 million over five years would amount to an illegal subsidy. The conservative watchdog's threat to sue Glendale hampered the city's ability to sell bonds as part of the deal.
Hulsizer and the city continued to negotiate with a revised offer going to the council last week in closed-door session. Although more favorable, it still relied on the city selling bonds. Knaack and Alvarez said the concern with Hulsizer's deal was the bonds.
City officials said the direction was to keep working with Hulsizer, as well as other potential buyers. Hulsizer and his investors didn't want to wait as the city negotiated with other buyers.
Glendale is left with two to three potential buyers whose names officials say are being kept confidential at the bidders' request.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told NHL.com that Hulsizer's departure "does not represent a step backwards in the process" because other potential buyers aren't relying on bonds.
Clark is hopeful about those new bids.
"The deals are different and are, at least to me, more palatable," she said.But Scruggs said she has concerns about the offers, although she would not provide details.
Scruggs is also worried about the clock. She wants a deal done by the end of the year.
The mayor said she doesn't want to go into another round of budget talks next year with ownership questions. The past two years, with deals not finalized, the council has been asked to pledge $25 million for the NHL to manage the arena.
Scruggs said she won't go there again. Rather she would seek to have the city manage the arena.
"If we don't have an approved, signed agreement by the end of December, I will make it known as we go into the budget process, I will be looking at having our budget built with the city being the arena manager," the mayor said.

October's Monthly Mix-Up proved to be one of our most diverse and creative months in terms of overall entries. By giving Linkin Park fans the challenge of converting Linkin Park's hard rock stadium anthems into heart-pounding dance pop tracks, musicians were forced to take Linkin Park's music in an unconventional direction, with many experimenting with this style of music for the first time ever. While some found the genre too difficult to participate, we managed to get quite a few amazing entries and we're very encouraged by the amount of diversity shown by participants in our October challenge, which proved to be one hard month to judge. However; without further ado we would like to name October's Official Winners (and Runners Up!):
m_macdonald - "Given Up"
Many positive things can be said about m_macdonald's absolutely incredible re-imagining of Linkin Park's "Given Up". By creating a fresh new sound for Given Up, and through completely re-inventing some melodies in the song, Mac created a track that's not just "winning entry" good, but good enough to be considered one of our favorite entries in the LPA Monthly Mix-Up series thus far. Featuring intricate layers, new vocal harmonies, synth lines and strings, and superb mixing, Mac's remix is a creature of beauty. Not only did he adhere perfectly to the genre, but he also scores kudos for remixing a very unexpected song, instantly proving that Given Up can exist as more than just a hard rock track.
Runners Up:
Blackdonut - "Blackout"
With a wondefully chaotic buildup that eventually segues into a nice club beat, Blackdonut's re-interpretation of "Blackout" (which also features demo lyrics in parts of the song) gives the A Thousand Suns favorite a great dance-pop feel, making it easy to imagine this song blaring on the dance floor. This track won high praise by our forum members, and even a stamp of approval from our August winner "Best Asian Ever".
Jason39 - "Burning In The Skies"
All of us on staff really appreciated the creative liberties that Jason39 took with his remix of "Burning In The Skies". Originally created just as an instrumental, Jason39 reworked his instrumental into a full remix, creating an entry that is as atmospheric as it is catchy. Great job Jason!
Special Mention:
Glen Orpheus - "Waiting For The End (Downright Nasty Remix)"
We simply could not finish this post without taking the time to feature and comment on Glen Orpheus' highly unique and creative re-imagining of Linkin Park's "Waiting For The End". Featuring highly synthesized vocals, over breakbeat drums with a dirty bassline, Glen Orpheus' remix not only showed immense skill, but a creative spark and imagination that we felt worthy of showcasing on our front page. Ultimately, because of it's Drum N' Bass feel, we felt it did not match the theme enough to be considered (although it was still dance worthy!) so a special mention was in order. Hopefully this isn't the last we've heard of Glen Orpheus, as we'd love to hear what he brings to the table in future months!
Stay tuned within the next hour or so, as we officially launch next month's contest, as we will be putting all of your skills on a collision course to greatness!

As only a trickle of students arrived at some schools, April Logan said she wouldn't leave her daughter, Ashanti, with an adult she didn't know. Ashanti started school just a week earlier.
"I don't understand this. My baby just got into school," Logan said Monday at the Benjamin Mays Academy, an elementary school, before turning around and taking her daughter home.
Some students blamed the district for interrupting their education.
"They're not hurting the teachers. They're hurting us," said Ta'Shara Edwards, a student at Robeson High School on the city's South Side. She said her mother made her come to class to do homework so she "wouldn't suck up her light bill."
But there was anger toward teachers as well.
"I think it's crazy. Why are they even going on strike?" asked Ebony Irvin, another student at Robeson.
Emanuel and union officials have much at stake. Unions and collective bargaining by public employees have come under a barrage of criticism in some parts of the country, and the Chicago dispute will be closely monitored to see who emerges with the upper hand.
The timing also may be inopportune for Emanuel, whose city administration is wrestling with a spike in murders and shootings in some neighborhoods and who just agreed to take a larger role in fundraising for Obama's re-election campaign.
The school board was offering a fair and responsible contract that would meet most of the union's demands after "extraordinarily difficult" talks, board President David Vitale said. Emanuel said the district offered teachers a 16 percent pay raise over four years, doubling an earlier offer.
Among the issues of concern, Lewis said, was a new evaluation that she said would be unfair to teachers because it relies too heavily on students' standardized test scores and does not take into account external factors that affect performance, including poverty, violence and homelessness.
She said the evaluations could result in 6,000 teachers losing their jobs within two years. City officials disagreed and said the union has not explained how it reached that conclusion.
Emanuel said the evaluation would not count in the first year, as teachers and administrators worked out any kinks. Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard said the evaluation "was not developed to be a hammer," but to help teachers improve.
The strike is the latest flashpoint in a public and often contentious battle between the mayor and the union.
When he took office last year, Emanuel inherited a school district facing a $700 million budget shortfall. Not long after, his administration rescinded 4 percent raises for teachers. He then asked the union to reopen its contract and accept 2 percent pay raises in exchange for lengthening the school day for students by 90 minutes. The union refused.
Emanuel, who promised a longer school day during his campaign, then attempted to go around the union by asking teachers at individual schools to waive the contract and add 90 minutes to the day. He halted the effort after being challenged by the union before the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board.
The district and union agreed in July on how to implement the longer school day, striking a deal to hire back 477 teachers who had been laid off rather than pay regular teachers more to work longer hours. That raised hopes the contract dispute would be settled soon, but bargaining continued on the other issues.

The official language of the Ukraine is Ukrainian. If visiting, you may want to explore the possibilities of scuba diving, horse riding, skiing, carting, yachting, swimming and sunbathing. A popular food in the Ukraine is Borsch, a type of soup. It is a vegetable soup made out of beets, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, dill.
With all of the recent headlines, we have begun speaking of a place many have not been properly introduced to. Now that you have met one another, what exactly is going on over there?
"You know how the Texas border moved up and down and around before becoming the state we know today? Well Ukraine has a similar history, with much more extreme battles over its territory in Eastern Europe. In short, the country has been split between east and west for centuries; today, the question is whether the country will continue to align itself with Russia, which starved Ukrainians in the 1930s, or take steps toward joining the European Union.
A member of the Soviet Union from 1922, Ukraine declared its sovereignty in July 1990, basically telling Russia that it could run its own country. Even so, the country has had trouble with democracy in the years since, and has remained closely aligned with Russia."-Sparknotes
Can you imagine what preconceptions other countries have about us based on popular media?

TNA Impact Wrestling taped their next two television episodes and new TNA World Champion Eric Young put his title on the line. A TNA Hall of Fame star also made his big return at the taping. Here is a look at the TNA Wrestling spoilers from the two television episodes that TNA recorded on Friday night.
The biggest storyline coming out of the new TNA Impact Wrestling taping was the arrival of new TNA World Champion Eric Young. After 10 years in the company, Young finally won the TNA title and he had a couple of major confrontations at the two shows. First he had to go face-to-face with Dixie Carter and then a title match with former friend Abyss.
In the confrontation with Dixie Carter, she tried to bully Eric Young into joining her side. However, Young reminded her that she no longer ran things in TNA. She reminded him that she was still the owner and could fire ODB if Young didn't fall in line. Bully Ray came out and sent her on her way. The main event of that episode saw Eric Young defend his newly won title against Abyss.
The Eric Young vs. Abyss match was a Monster's Ball match, which Young won. This led to a confrontation of the second TV taping between former champion Magnus and Abyss. Magnus claimed he never really lost the title and blamed Abyss. He fired Abyss, which brought out MVP. MVP set up a match for the next TV taping with Magnus battling Abyss, and if Abyss wins, he gets his job back in TNA.
The Knockouts continued to completely reboot their storylines. After the reunion of The Beautiful People, after Velvet Sky turned bad, the group is are now feuding with Madison Rayne. At the first taping, Rayne beat Velvet Sky. On the second taping, Gail Kim came out and saved Rayne, turning face, and the two teamed up to lose to the Beautiful People later on that show.
Tigre Uno battled Sanada and beat the X-Division champion in the second match of their best of three series. This puts the series between the two X-Division stars at one apiece. Kenny King was doing commentary and will likely move into the X-Division scene soon. However, on the second taping, King was forced to face Bobby Lashley, and walked out on the match.
The big return for these TNA Wrestling spoilers was Kurt Angle. Willow (Jeff Hardy) was battling Ethan Carter III and Rockstar Spud in a handicap match and won. After the match, they attacked him and Angle ran in for the save. He cut a promo about being back and at the second taping beat Rockstar Spud.
Other matches on the two TNA Wrestling tapings included The Wolves beating The Bro-Mans by disqualification, Bobby Roode beating Gunner, Beer Money reuniting to beat Bully Ray and Gunner, and MVP beating Austin Aries. TNA Impact Wrestling airs on Thursday nights at 9 p.m. EST on Spike TV.

On 1/17/14 Avik Roy of The Manhattan Institute wrote an article, "A conservative case for universal coverage." He discusses two health care plans from Singapore and Switzerland that are currently working.
With the Singapore plan, everyone has a health savings account that is financed by an employer paid payroll tax. Individuals then use these accounts to pay for their routine medical care. This is similar to out-of-pocket payments in the U.S. The government picks up the tab for catastrophic illnesses.
With the Swiss plan, there is a mandate that people purchase health care insurance that is subsidized on a sliding scale depending on one's income.
Roy then discusses how we can modify ObamaCare using the best ideas of these two plans. He says this will give us high quality, affordable, universal health care. He concludes that it will also give us, "a fiscally sound country."
To accomplish this, Roy says that conservatives, "must make one change to their stance: They have to agree that universal coverage is a morally worthy goal." I think that most conservatives would agree that it is a morally worthy goal for everyone to have needed health care.
He uses the example that, "No conservative politicians oppose universal public education." Perhaps most do not but there is a growing movement to remove the national government from controlling our children's education, especially when it comes to "common core." This started with President Reagan in 1981.
Roy is correct that most politicians do not oppose universal public education, but he is incorrect to imply that it should be done at the national level. Our country was founded on the principle of federalism. The federal government would have limited powers while the states would have many powers.
This system protects our country from bad ideas, although individual states may have to endure them until they come to their senses. James Madison explained this in the Tenth Federalist Paper:
The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but will be unable to spread a general conflagration through the other States. A religious sect may degenerate into a political faction in a part of the Confederacy; but the variety of sects dispersed over the entire face of it must secure the national councils against any danger from that source. A rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the Union than a particular member of it;
The combined populations of Singapore and Switzerland are about that of Illinois. If Mr. Roy is a conservative who advocates our founding principle of federalism, he should advocate his plan at the state level rather than nationally.
Conservatives should advocate for our national government to eliminate any tax subsidy to the crony capitalism of job-based health insurance. It should turn Medicare and Medicaid over to the states. If this was done, some states could try the Singapore or Swiss Plan. Others could try Mr. Roy's combination plan while still others might try a free market plan.

Remember that blue lace dress Kate Middleton wore when she visited Canada? It was beautiful and sophisticated and demure. But if Pippa were to pick out a blue lace dress, we're sure it would be this Nicole Miller Stretch Lace Open Back Dress ($420). It's fun, flirty, and great for someone looking to steal a little spotlight with a killer outfit.

This question already has an answer here:
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak m$.
Is it true that the projective dimension of $R/\mathfrak m$ is finite knowing that its injective dimension is finite? If yes, why?!?
I would need this to prove something else but I'm not sure I can use it. Can you help me please?

Need help fixing a bug in TSL
I need help figuring out what is wrong with this part of the game.
The problem is that when you go to Onderon the 2nd time to help either Talia or Vaklu Kavar always turns into a wesquay or what ever their called. I just need to know how to fix this myself because it really bugs me lol. So if someone can lend me some assistance it would be greatly appreciated :D
P.S it only changes his appearance for that part of the game, after you get off the planet and see him on Dantooine he's back to normal. Im pretty sure it has something to do with the appearance.2da files but im not, sure im kind of noobish when it comes to the .2da files. :)
Are you using any mods?
Yes, and their are a lot actually. The thing is it's all mixed up in my override folder and im not sure what is conflicting with this part of my game. I was hoping someone may be able to enlighten me. :)
It would help to know what you have in that override before proceeding.
Well in that case. Here is a list of things I know for a fact is on my override
-The Jedi General robes mod
-a lot of .uti items (mostly disguises)
-Im not sure which one but their is a mod I have that changes the models of the lightsabers
Their are others but it is hard to remember, it's be awhile since i've installed them.
If it's a TSLRCM related issue, you really should post the question in the TSLRCM thread here. Before you do that, you're going to have to track down all the mod names and provide links to each mod (besides TSLRCM) that you've installed. In addition, they'll need to know which version of TSLRCM you're using.
Thanks for the assistance. I will try my best to track down the mod names but like I said before, my Override folder is cluttered and disorganized to the point where it is difficult figuring out what is what .
Thanks you :)
Ok, I took out everything in my Override and started up my game and he still changed so it can't be anything in the Override folder.
Re-install, keep track on mods this time...

Gray Cook, the extraordinary physical therapist who was instrumental in creating the "Functional Movement Screen", is renowned for asking the question, "Why do we put movement on top of dysfunction?" Dysfunction is a harsh sounding word, but it only means that something is functioning sub-optimally.
In Cook's case, he's referring to physical movement; specifically, workout programs, and the tendency for us to want to play into our strengths and ignore weaker areas. In the CK-FMS* Instructor Manual, he describes how, with the rising popularity of high-intensity workout programs and classes, most athletes lack the foundation to excel at these programs in a healthy fashion. He questions the popular "wisdom" of stacking strength and conditioning programs onto shaky platforms.
We all have strengths and weaknesses; are good at some things and bad at others. Fitness experts advise that we should do what we enjoy. Choosing an activity at which we're not so good almost assures that we won't stick with it for long. But choosing a program that we enjoy, one we'll stick with, can have its disadvantages, too. Chances are that playing into our strength without addressing our weaknesses; our dysfunctions, will eventually show up as injury. Or, at least, diminished performance.
A certain balance has to be achieved which addresses the dysfunction, while still allowing for the exhilaration of an enjoyable program. Being calorie-conscious, nobody wants to pause during a run to mobilize a pesky joint. There's that incessant little voice urging "GO, GO, GO". In group classes, there are dynamics at work which don't lend themselves to "breaks in the action". No one wants to be seen as falling behind the group by taking a couple of minutes to address a weak body part, although this practice would be an integral part of a truly effective class.
It should also be mentioned that spinning classes, though they may be beneficial for the cardiovascular system, wreak havoc on posture. Modern-day posture is already a culprit in so many musculoskeletal troubles, that reinforcing bad posture (the biking position) further exacerbates the situation. Once again, Cook's "putting movement on top of dysfunction". In spinning, the effort of the movement (cycling) reinforces the dysfunction (bad posture).
Is it a case now, of "no good deed goes unpunished" in taking up a fitness program? No. Below are some easy moves that can address some common trouble areas, put some balance into your program, and actually give you a few peaceful minutes. They take little time and can be done at home or work, so you won't run the fatal risk of being singled out in fitness class. At work??? Hey, some people pray at work, some play solitaire; what's the trouble?
Ask a doctor if you're OK to perform the following, as they are by no means a substitute for a personalized assessment. All exercise below link to short videos.
It would be wise if you are, or will be, starting a fitness program, to spend an hour with a professional who can assess your posture and movement. You'll avoid lots of pain and expense on your fitness journey. With today's access to unprecedented quality of instruction and equipment, there is no need to be exercising ineffectively or painfully. These resources can only be optimized if you uncover dysfunction and address it. Facing a little weakness will help you to find true strength.
*CK-FMS is "Certified Kettlebell Functional Movement Specialist", a designation given to those who specialize in assessing movement and integrating kettlebells into performance enhancement programs as well as injury prevention and recovery..

Does anyone know how to find out if someone has another email account? I'm pretty sure there has to be but he only accesses it from his cell phone and that cell phone NEVER EVER leaves his possession.
Thanks for any advice I can get.

As I learned, if the cell phone doesn't leave his possession he his hiding something. Just demand to see his phone if you can't sneak a peak while he is sleeping.

There is a web site called www.emailfinder.com
You have to pay, I think it was $30 for a one year membership, but I found it very helpful. $30 isn't much for your own sanity.
Just be careful. I know when my husband had a secret email address, he registered it under a fake name. Aren't they just sneaky!
|View More Posts Ignore
do u know his normal email address and password? If so you can go to googlemail, yahoomail, hotmail, etc and put in that email address as if you had forgotten your password and username. They will send a message to the old account stating there isnt an account with them, or if there is they will give you instructions on how to get into the account.
Yes- I would grab the phone in the middle of the night and lock myself in the bathroom and find everything. Also- r u SURE he doesnt check it EVER at home? You could install a keylogger on your home computer then leave him alone in the house and check it later when he is gone. It would log every keystroke he makes. Are you on his phone account or is it only in his name?
|View More Posts Ignore
Thank you!!
The phone is in MY name and, trust me, I check the records all the time. He's been caught SO many times, but they just get sneakier.
Why I'm still playing this damn game is beyond me but he's insisting that he's not doing anything wrong but I know better. As we have all been here, we know the signs. I'm not a dumb@## for God's sake. I, like you all, can smell a rat and know he's up to no good.
Anyway, he NEVER leaves that phone unattended and if he does, he shuts if off AND deletes all the history from his internet. Not to mention, once it's shut down, any pages he's had open on the internet disappear. That's how I found his last email. He's had 4. Ya, I know. I'm an idiot.
Beware of the friggin iphone. They're a cheater's best friend!!!!
This is just all wrong!!!!

LoyalGirl we seem to be in the same shoes. If I didn't know any better I'd think it was something I'd typed. Let me know if you have any luck, I keep coming up empty. My husband's latest is "I just work with her! All texts are work related!" Well wonder why that's the only female in the work place that it's necessary to text?! Especially when they're in the same building--I must have that dumb@ss thing going on too.

Ya. I'll let you know. It's like we're all living parallel lives with these sneaky cheats. I can tell you I'm not tolerating anymore of this crap. When I find out - AND I WILL FIND OUT - I pity the fool!!! (didn't Mr. T say that?) lol

Ugh. . what is it with men and their cell phones. My BF NEVER EVER leaves his cell phone unattended. For awhile he even had his text messages password protected. .turns out he was having an affair with our neighbor. After I agreed to come home he left the cell phone out more. . as of late. .it's been attached to him again. His facebook account is hooked to that thing and that's where he talks to all these girls that he "went to high school with". . Sometimes you really have to pick your battles. . but my best advice is to ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS trust your instincts, if you're feeling something isn't right. . it probably isn't! Men are extremely sneaky! I found my BF registered on sites like AshleyMadison.com and Fling.com and after I confronted him about it. .from that point forward he started deleting ALL of his past sites.. They are smart. .especially when they are trying to NOT get caught! I*d be more concerned with finding out what's going on via cell phone than email. . cell phones your less likely to get caught bc the delete button is right there @ all times. Good luck!!

Why are you girls staying with these fools?
I can see staying with someone who is doing everything to straighten up...including quitting the job and getting another one...but you all are hanging around for more cheating BS? It doesn't make any sense.
Take it from a 50 year old...get out NOW while you are young and can build a life with a decent man. Life is too short to give an idiot the best years of your life.
Kick these losers to the curb where they belong.

What CarolAnnie said, there is no transparancy how can there be the start of trust?
|View More Posts Ignore
I'm 50 too and I agree with CarolAnnie. My husband didn't cheat until we were married 30 years. If he would have cheated and continued to play games when we were younger, I would have been outta there.
Don't waste your best years on a someone who continues to play games. It's not worth it!

Attention All Members/Visitors To The LPA,
As many of you may have noticed over the last two to three weeks, we here at the LPA have been experiencing severe difficulties with our server that has lead to frequent downtimes that sometimes make the site inaccessible for periods of 10 minutes up to a full hour. These issues have been of high concern to us, and we have tried numerous free alternatives (server tweaks, CloudFlare etc) to see if we could resolve the situation without incurring any more costs on our end.
Unfortunately it has become extremely apparent in the last couple of days that such an option is no longer viable. Our website has grown in traffic substantially the last couple of months (setting records in the process) and our server, as great as it may be, has found it's resources repeatedly exhausted to the breaking point on more than one occasion. Unfortunately, being people who still owe college debt and work regular paying jobs, LPA's costs are beginning to become excessive which makes upgrading our servers difficult due to prior financial obligations. The current hosting bill is approximately 109.00 a month, and any upgrade is going to see that price jump into the 150-200's if not possibly more depending on what we need to withstand the traffic.
This is where we require your help, as such a jump in monthly costs will prove to be difficult for us to take on in addition to what we already pay out of pocket. As of this time, due to the size of the site we are left with no other choice but to upgrade and ask you our valuable members for donations. We understand that many of you also have your own financial worries to be concerned about, and donating out of pocket is not financially viable for some of you, but for those of you who can help, it would go a long way towards making sure we provide you with same quality website, with a lot less of the downtimes.
There is no minimum limit for donations that we ask for. Anything can help. Even if you can only donate 5 dollars out of pocket, 20 of you donating 5.00 monthly would mean we would have an extra 100.00 towards hosting which would more than cover the costs needed to keep running smoothly. A little bit goes a long way, and we appreciate anything you guys can do to help. Starting later this week, we will be putting a "donations so far this month" tab which will help you guys track how much we need that month to cover our higher hosting costs. Thank you in advance for any help you can give. You may all donate through the link in my signature if you so desire.
Thank You,
LPA Staff

All of the party printables and party styling was done by myself. I'm a Mommy of 3 boys and owner of a small business in Hawaii called Sugar Shack Crafts(http://www.facebook.comsugarshackcrafts OR @sugarshackcrafts on Instagram).
As my twenties were coming to an end, my sweet husband wanted me to feel good about myself and encouraged me to design, create, style, and have a fun birthday celebration in honor of my thirtieth birthday. I am a mother of three boys and imagined my party to be girly, glam, hot pink and zebra print but also fun and mild for my family to enjoy. Inspired by Nancy, Owner of A to Zebra Celebrations, and great help from my family, I was able to create my birthday wish!

Most of the time, good safety habits will seem to be useless. Maybe one time out of a hundred times, however, a criminal will appear, and the performance of good safety habits can keep potential victims safe from crime. This article discusses only a few examples of many good safety habits that everyone should follow.
One good safety habit is to shop during daylight hours. During the night, because of more limited visibility, it is harder for everyone to be aware of their surroundings. People could form the habit of shopping at night and do so for years without being victimized. However, the chances of becoming a crime victim are greater at night than they are during the day.
As already mentioned, people should have the habit of scanning their immediate environment for danger. Daydreamers might have no trouble for years, but eventually, the habit of not frequently scanning their immediate environment will make it more likely that they will become be crime victims.
There is a way for everyone to test their awareness of their immediate environment. Those who are ever startled by anyone were probably not aware of their immediate environment during that time frame.
It is important for everyone to get into the habit of locking their car and house doors immediately after they enter their cars or houses, even when there is nobody in sight. This habit will assure that everyone will have habitually locked their doors when they are too distracted to notice that there are criminals present.
Upon entering a building, everyone should have the habit of looking to see where the building exits are located. Then, if an emergency, such as a fire, occurs, these observations will have saved them seconds which could be critical to their survival.
After motorists park their cars, they should always memorize where their cars are parked. This is especially true for senior citizens. Those who do not always do this will have to roam the parking lot searching for their cars. Especially at night, this increases the chances of a criminal encounter.
Before going to bed, it is a good habit to check the security of all doors and windows in the home. Most of the time, all of them will be secure. Once in a while, this security check will find an insecure door or window that could have endangered everyone in the home for the entire night.
What are your thoughts?

With a statewide ban on fireworks, and most municipalities choosing to cancel their own shows, my family found itself at the Beaver Meadows Visitors Center on the outskirts of Rocky Mountain National Park early in the evening on the 4th of July looking to make some non-traditional Independence Day memories. With about three hours of daylight left, an hours drive to get home, and a seven year old with day camp early in the morning, I consulted a ranger to help guide me toward the right trail that would fit our desire for scenery and our constraints on time.
In a rehearsed tone that made it clear we were not the first family to come in looking for a quick brush with nature, the ranger shot her finger toward the map laid flat under a pane of glass on the desk and said two words- "The Pool."
The Pool is basically a pocket of water just below the confluences of the Spruce and Fern Creeks with the Big Thompson River. I have been to RMNP on many occasions and had yet to hit this popular trail, but it sounded perfect as my wife and son enjoy hikes with water features, and I enjoy hiking when they are both happy.
Haze from some forest fires blowing down from Wyoming as well as the recent construction on the Bear Lake Road made the normally scenic drive into the park seem a bit muted and dull, which I had never experienced before in the park. Within 15 minutes we had arrived at the Fern Lake Trailhead, and nonetheless barely waited for our Jeep to stop moving before our feet were already pounding the gravel.
The trail to The Pool is an out-and-back that is 1.7 miles each way. It goes on to connect to a seemingly endless network of trails, including Cub Lake, Bear Lake, and all the way to Longs Peak, if one were ambitious enough to give it a try
The sounds of the Big Thompson River accompany you the entire length of the way to the pools, even when the river tries to hide itself behind a lining of mixed pine and aspen trees. Look closely, and you are likely to see the handiwork of a few beavers at work along its banks as well. We were fortunate enough to meet a pair of large dusky grouse along the way, foraging some small bushes.
Hiking to The Pool is almost rhythmic, as the trail peeks out of the shadows to an occasional setting of wildflowers and regional grasses, opening itself just long enough for a quick glimpse of the surrounding landscape. Another few steps, another view, and before you know it, you have hit an old timber bridge that crosses The Pool.
From the bridge we took a few moments to enjoy the sounds of the Big Thompson River, rejuvenated just upstream from the Spruce and Fern Creeks., and we took a few dim pictures, realizing that the impending dusk was telling us to start heading back.
At 8,280', The Pool is really an easy hike for the entire family, and would even be a good choice for most out-of-towners who might be a bit timid of our state's elevation. I have also come to find out it is one of the park's suggested four-season trails, which means I may be back again in the winter to experience it again, underneath a blanket of snow.

Roundup: Helen Hunt to receive Spotlight Award at Palm Springs fest
With Best Supporting Actress still the least defined of this year's four acting races, Helen Hunt currently seems as likely a frontrunner as anyone for her work in "The Sessions": partly because she's excellent in a well-liked film, and partly because, as Jennifer Hudson can attest, it doesn't hurt to be nominated in supporting for a lead role. Hunt's trophy trail began yesterday with the announcement that she is to receive the Spotlight Award at January's Palm Springs International Film Festival. It's an honor that has previously alighted on Jessica Chastain and Amy Adams en route to an Oscar nod, and while seemingly small, it's a well-timed opportunity for some California-based exposure and gladhanding as the race heats up. Everything counts. [Thompson on Hollywood]

*Best Rate Guaranteed
The Barclays Cycle Hire scheme in London launched in July 2010, and it had a very warm reception, achieving the millionth journey just about ten weeks after it started. In my humble opinion, the system was very good, but the only problem was that I never got around to filling in the form, paying the yearly fee, waiting for my electronic key to arrive, etc, etc.
The solution to my problem was that since the 3rd December 2010, the Barclays sponsored scheme has opened to all users, without the need of becoming a yearly member. I was very excited to hear that, and decided to give it a try last week after work. I was very impressed with the quality of the bikes (apparently made in Canada!) and the smooth operation of the whole system. It was only about two minutes since I decided to hire a bike to the time that I was riding it (I decided to skip the 45-page terms & conditions!) and had a jolly good time!
Docking station in Drury Lane, Covent Garden
The charges are designed to promote a high circulation of bikes, since the first half an hour is free, but charges rise rapidly thereafter. This makes the scheme very appropriate for shorter journeys.
These changes mean that visitors to the Capital can now enjoy the system (as long as they have a Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card) as well as Londoners, and hopefully will increase the appeal to our already great city. I thoroughly recommend the system and will certainly be a great user of the scheme in the foreseeable future.
The closest docking station to The Cavendish London is on St. James's Square, just 2 minutes walk from us and you can contact me for any questions related to this scheme and we will be more than happy to help.

This isn't his first rodeo when it comes to head coaching vacancies and Josh McDaniels won't pay attention to the hype, at least not yet.
The big test will be during the Patriots bye week, when assistant coaches who are on playoff teams get a chance to interview for possible positions.
There are 5 coaching vacancies and the count could go up, and McDaniels knows that he has caught the eye of owners and personnel chiefs around the league for his high powered offense.
However, could his previous experience being the head coach in Denver give him new insight on how to handle the sudden blown kisses tossed his way from other NFL teams?
"I'm thrilled to be back here and came back here for all the right reasons – to learn and to get better as a coach, to work in an organization that I really have a great deal of respect and appreciation for," according to Mike Petraglia of WEEI.com.
"I'm happy here," McDaniels said. "My family is happy here. We're excited about what's ahead of us here in the playoffs, and to talk about any other opportunities at this point is, to me, irrelevant, because I'm totally focused on this season and what this season holds.
I couldn't be more excited to be here and be a New England Patriot and try to do the best job that I can with the title I have right now."
"I think that every opportunity that you have, and certainly [all] that I've gone through since I started a long time ago in 2001 here, has been a learning experience for me.
There are certainly going to be mistakes along the way in every role that you hold and that you have and opportunity to work in.
I think as long as you can go through that process and try to get better from each mistake that you make or from each positive result that you get, there's always something to learn from those things and try to make you a better coach, a better leader, a better teacher, a better person, a better communicator, a better staff member."

Future President Sarah Palin Inspires America
As Sarah Palin prepares to leave Alaska so that she may serve our One Nation Under God as president, in 2012, she gave inspirational words that our country needs.
Sarah Palin, a loving Christian mother and wife, prays daily and is attuned to the needs of America. Just like president Bush, this woman of great faith has a direct line with God and is exactly what our nation needs.
Look at how Barack Obama is failing us. His advisers scheme new ways to force abortion while he wastes our nation's money on health care and is making our armed forces weak.
Sarah Palin's son bravely fights terrorists in Iraq. Why has Obama dared not send his daughters to defend our great nation and our freedoms; why is he all talk and no leader by example?
We all know the answer to such questions and America is blessed to only have to put up with this Democrat failure for several more years. In the meantime, relish and embrace the sage, patriotic words of our future president, President Sarah Palin.
At her farewell dinner, our beloved Sarah said these things:
"'I said, 'Oh no,' it is not a down day – my son called this week from Iraq," "He is safe, he is sound. It is always a good day when my son calls.'"
- Sarah Palin, a loving Christian mother who proudly awaits calls from her dear son, who puts his life on the line to defend our nation.
"'I wish that some in the media would keep things like that in perspective, what is really important in our country. And what is important is our freedoms, America's security, our liberty.'"
- Sarah Palin, she loves freedom and America.
"'Let us continue to love our country, be proud of our country, never apologize for our country.'"
What an inspirational woman and there is no surprise that someone from the crowd exclaimed, "We want you as our commander-in-chief!" and after which, a explosive uproar and cheer emerged from the crowd.
Sarah Palin will be our next president. As Obama has to apologize for being racist against white cops who had to arrest an uppity black college professor, Sarah Palin is focused on what matters.
An America that doesn't need to apologize because we are smart enough to be culturally sensitive and demand all countries, whatever their names may be over there on the map, abide by the rules of equality we set out for them. It is simple and yet so complex policy that only one person, a person of wise wisdom and savvy can carry out.
It is a leader who is a soldier in the Army of the Lord and will carry out his orders. That woman is Sarah Palin.
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

Highway Committee can't act on motion to remove Chairperson
By Keri Solis
At the top of the agenda of the Marquette County Highway Committee's meeting for August last week was the consideration of a motion to remove the Highway Committee Chairperson, Jerry Hebert. However, before this could take place, Marquette County Corporate Counsel Natalie Bussan informed the committee that per the county's own rules, the chair of the Highway Committee, along with the chair of the Agriculture and Extension Education Committee, are elected by the whole county board. This was a surprise to all in attendance, who didn't realize this was proper procedure.
As a result, the committee could not elect a new chairperson, but did take an advisory vote. There were three nominees: Dan Klawitter, Bob Goldsmith and Marvin Groskreutz. Groskreutz had the majority with four of six votes. Klawitter was absent.
The August meeting also marked the first official meeting at which a seven-member committee would come together. At the July meeting of the Board of Supervisors, a resolution was passed adding two more members to the highway committee. However, according to Hebert, proper notice was not given for the resolution, making it illegal. Bussan stated that by her interpretation of the rules, the action was legal.
Hebert also questioned if phone calls made by Supervisor Bob Miller to inform other supervisors of the agenda item to remove Hebert constituted a walking quorum. "I'm very offended that you are implying that I did something wrong," said Miller. "Calling Marv (Groskreutz) is not a quorum, it is simply a phone call."
Moving on to other business, a year ago county buildings underwent a security survey and as a result, the committee gave approval for silent alarm buttons to be placed at the front desk of the highway department. One would activate a red light in the shop and the other would alert the sheriff's department to an issue. Final approval was given to purchase such an alarm.
Interim highway commissioner Randy Ravenscroft announced that as a result of recommendations from the audit, they had already put measures in place to help control the inventory of materials such as gravel, salt and sand. Inventory will be conducted quarterly to find discrepancies quickly. Piles are now signed to ensure that the proper material is being taken and there will be a loader at each site to maintain consistency.
At the end of the meeting, Brenda Petersen, accountant and office manager for the highway department, apologized for the destruction of a cell phone belonging to the county that had been used by former Highway Commissioner Brenden Rhinehart. According to witnesses, Petersen took the phone into the parking lot the day after the hearing at which Rhinehart was terminated from his position. She then proceeded to take three swings at it with a baseball bat.
Police were called, but no charges were filed. A closed session meeting regarding the matter had been held in July and a motion was made to fire Petersen for the incident. That motion was voted down. However, the county took other disciplinary action. Petersen will also be paying the county for the value of the phone.

is a 1951 picture of John Green Gay and his grandchildren
at Virginia Beach. It was a summer tradition for his daughters
and their children to visit for several weeks. During these
visits, a day trip to Virginia Beach was usually taken. John
Green Gay was a man's man who had great love for his family.
1964 picture shows most of the Gay Family. John Green Gay
is seated in a chair second from the end on the right. He
is holding his great grandson John Gay Burgess. His living
brothers and sisters and their spouses are seated to his left.
Most of their descendents are pictured.

the Gay room of Yellow House. He was John Green Gay's father.
According to his grandson William Bruce Jones, writing in
1981, his "Grandaddy" went west at age 21 (1871). He prospected
for gold in the Colorado territory. Green Frederick apparently
had a near fatal illness and returned home after 10 years.

The process of turning the food that we eat into substances that the body can use is a complex chemical process that occurs throughout the digestive system and in the body itself. A slew of chemical substances help break down or create the carbohydrates, fats and proteins we need to live. The first of these to be discovered, and some of the most vital to our health and well-being are called vitamins.
The University of Maryland Medical Center defines vitamins as "a group of substances that are essential for normal cell function, growth, and development." There are 13 which are considered essential, and they fall into two categories. Some are fat soluble, which means that they can be stored in the body. Other vitamins are water soluble, which means that they must be used right away by the body or they will be excreted in urine.
The four fat soluble, or storable, vitamins are:
Vitamin A. The most common form of this vitamin is retinol, found in meat, especially liver. The vitamin is important for eyesight and for "healthy skin, teeth, skeletal and soft tissue, mucus membranes, and skin." It can be toxic in large amounts. The body can also produce vitamin A from beta-carotene which may be found in vegetables and fruits. Beta-carotene is not believed to be toxic.
Vitamin D. The body produces vitamin D through exposure to sunlight. It is used to help the body absorb calcium, which is important for bone health as well as regulating the heart's electrical system. Few foods contain this vitamin so it is often added, with milk being a noteworthy fortified food. Lack of vitamin D in poor nations and in the past in the United States produced a bone condition called rickets. Too much vitamin D can cause the body to retain toxic levels of calcium.
Vitamin E. This vitamin is an anti-oxident, important to protecting the body's systems from substances called free radicals. It plays a part in strengthening the immune system and also the formation of red blood cells. While at least eight similar compounds are known as vitamin E, only alpha-tocopherol "is recognized to meet human requirements." Often touted as a treatment for heart disease, cancer or other serious medical conditions, the current studies have generally failed to support such claims. The vitamin, in large quantities, may interfere with some medications, including statins.
Vitamin K. In order for blood to clot, the body must have an adequate supply of vitamin K. In the United States, the standard of care for newborn babies is to give them an injection of the vitamin to prevent vitamin K deficiency bleeding. While the condition is rare, studies have shown that newborns are often lacking a sufficient stored supply of the vitamin for up to three months after birth. Patients on blood thinners after a stroke or heart attack are cautioned about taking supplements of this vitamin, since it will interfere with the proper action of the medication.
Vitamin D can be manufactured in sufficient quantity by the body with just three outings in the sun, of 15 minutes each, per week. The National Institutes of Health state that the best source of the other three vitamins is food. A proper diet and a little sunshine will keep the body well supplied with the four fat soluble vitamins.
