Gov. Shumlin, Vermont Hospitals announce partnership on Vermont Health Connect
Nov. 12, 2013 --
BERLIN – Gov. Peter Shumlin, the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems, and other hospitals today announced a partnership to promote outreach and expand participation in Vermont Health Connect, the new insurance marketplace.
Under the plan, hospitals across the state have agreed to help with outreach in the following ways (it varies from hospital to hospital):
• Train certified application counselors and navigators;
• Provide information about VHC on their websites;
• Provide onsite enrollment or refer patients to navigators for enrollment help;
• Distribute information about VHC to patients during the registration process;
• Display and distribute information in waiting areas and patient rooms;
• Ensure patients have materials about VHC upon discharge from the hospital;
• Use existing Blueprint Teams to provide education and enrollment services, which may include public information sessions or classes;
• Host public forums or other kinds of educational events; and
• Provide information to their patient financial services staff.
Gov. Shumlin said 18 hospitals have agreed to participate. He said this is especially important because these facilities are connecting with Vermonters when they are sick or injured, and need coverage the most.
"I want to thank the hospitals and their staffs for reaching out to Vermonters and helping them make the best coverage choices through Vermont Health Connect for their families," Gov. Shumlin said at a press conference at the Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin. "This is a first step toward controlling increases in health care costs, and ensuring everyone had access to quality, affordable coverage."
"Vermont hospitals are committed to ensuring Vermonters receive the coverage and care they need to thrive," said Judy Tartaglia, Chair of the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems (VAHHS) and CEO of the Central Vermont Medical Center. "This partnership is one of many ways hospitals are engaged in initiatives to continually improve care and help bend the cost curve."

Management: Planter Overview Checklist
By Steve Zobrist, Area Agronomist and Jeff Daniels, Seed Technology Manager
Get tips on preventing common seeding problems that result from improper planter setup, maintenance and operation.
Hitch Height
Correct Toolbar Height
Stop and think how much weight is added to the center frame of this planter. Two 50-bushel seed tanks plus a 500-gallon fertilizer tank all riding on the center. Four tires pushing the center of the planter farther down into the tilled soil than the wings.
Seed Transmission Systems
How much vibration do you have in your drive system?
Check the following:
Transmissions need to run smoothly. Any vibration in the drive system will end up at the meters and can cause spacing issues. Sprockets, chains, bearings, meter drives and insecticide drives all need to be checked.
Check Shaft Alignment
Shafts must be aligned. If they are misaligned some row units may plant heavier or lighter populations than the main section of the planter.
No-Till Coulters
If using no-till coulters they need to be 1/4 inch above the openers.
Row Cleaners
Set deep enough to remove trash and not throw soil. In some cases floating cleaners may help.
Floating row cleaners follow contours and are less likely to "trench" or "hover."
Opening Disks
Firming point, shown in red circle, should be replaced when opener disks are replaced. The firmer is designed to run in the bottom of the seed trench.
Seed Tubes and Firmers
Keeton Seed Firmers
Opposing Forces
Too much down force creates sidewall compaction. (4 photos below)
Gauge wheels should take effort to spin by hand.
Closing wheels should be centered on the row.
In tougher wet soils, spike closing wheels may help prevent sidewall compaction.
Finger Pickup Checklist
Vacuum Systems - Theories of Operation
Check all types of vacuum systems for air leaks and worn seals around the metering units.
Flat disks are more forgiving of different seed sizes than cell disks. Note the different sizes of seed in the cell disk.
Doubles eliminators are used with flat disks. Shown are the Precision, Case and Deere singulators.
Central Fill Systems
Seed Lubricants Reduce Problems
Proper use of talc and graphite may eliminate a lot of potential problems. Use rate may need to increase for large treated seed and when temperature and humidity are high.
Talc and Graphite
Increase use rates for heavily treated seed or when temperature and humidity are high.

Evan Handler: In spite of being doomed, we might as well have a few laughs
October 29th, 2008
Actor Evan Handler says that he "essentially has lived life backwards." Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia at age 24, he "was reduced to the state of a dying old man, from which he emerged at around age 30 "to try to live his 20s in his 30s," he said in a recent telephone interview.
Evan Handler
Now 47, Handler has struggled to "climb out of the misery" his illness threw him into and rebuild his delayed acting career.
Among other things, he is traveling to 25 U.S. cities including Milwaukee, on a tour to promote his second book, "It's Just Temporary: The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive" (Riverhead Books, 2008, hardcover, $24.95).
Handler will be featured at the Jewish Book & Culture Fair on Monday, Nov. 10, at 7:00 p.m. at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center.
Happily married for five years, and the father of a 21-month-old daughter, Handler is currently living in Los Angeles and working as a television actor.
After appearing as a series regular in the role of Harry Goldenblatt, Charlotte's (Kristin Davis) divorce lawyer-turned love interest in HBO's "Sex and the City," Handler is now co-starring with David Duchovny in Showtime television's adult sex comedy "Californication," for the second season.
Like his first book "Time on Fire: My Comedy of Terrors," published in 1996 about his experience of being a leukemia patient, "It's Just Temporary" is a collection of autobiographical essays told with humor and a great deal of candor.
"Aware that many other leukemia patients actually lost their lives and people lost loved ones," Handler realizes he is very lucky. And in his first book, he said, "I used to refer to myself as being 'among the luckiest of the unluckiest people to have ever lived.'"
In his new book, however, he recounts his journey to becoming someone who feels "like a lucky guy without the qualification."
In 19 loosely connected, chronological essays, Handler tells his story with a focus on relationships, particularly romantic ones. Beginning his acting career at 17 and then getting sick at 24, Handler sees his delayed maturity, especially concerning his relationships with women, as related to his struggle with cancer.
In "It's Only Temporary" he tells of 10 relationships and 27 break-ups — all with those 10 women — which he sees as "symptoms of what I emerged with [from his illness]: a real lack of knowledge of how to live life, of whether I needed to grab everything I could when I could or whether the future was something that could be trusted and invested in."
But, in his book and his life "the ultimate redemption comes through meeting the woman who becomes my wife" and falling in love with life as a result of falling in love with her, he said.
Handler grew up the youngest of three children in a secular Jewish family in the Hudson Valley area, about an hour north of New York City. Though his family celebrated Chanukah and Passover, he said he has an aversion to established religion.
"I don't personally get a sense of pleasure from belonging to any particular club when there are so many contradictory clubs, each of whom seems to require that all the other clubs are mistaken in order for theirs to be correct. I prefer to form my own private spirituality, however I choose," he said.
Describing his answer to all of the existential and spiritual questions people have asked him from an early age, because of his experience of nearly dying, Handler says he takes an adamant "I don't know" position.
When faced with an existential challenge, he said, "People expect people to latch onto a religion and a belief in God."
But he felt it was important to "trumpet as loudly as possible that that's not absolutely necessary — that you can scratch and claw your way through it without deciding God intends you to survive. I had no notion that God wanted me to survive or not and no notion that I would survive and whether God would play any part in it or not."
But Handler did grow up in a family that used and appreciated humor, which he refers to as a universal language. And humor is a major part of his work and his outlook.
"It started simply because I had such a difficult, grim story to tell about an illness that no one really wanted to hear much about and humor was the way that I drew people in.
"And when I read pieces that became [the book] 'Time of Fire,' without having any idea how people would respond, I found I got exactly the response I wanted, which was to get people laughing at things that were horrible, then to suddenly realize what they were laughing at and stop and then to get seduced into laughing all over again."
And humor, Handler pointed out, "is a way that you can wield a sharp sword and get away with it sometimes. It's a way to deliver criticism and aggression [that's] a lot more acceptable than simply straight-on criticism."
Handler will speak at the JCC's Daniel M. Soref Community Hall. Cost is $36 for the event and book. Attendees who already own the book will receive a gift certificate to Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops.
The Jewish Book and Culture Fair's Art Expo Boutique will be open from 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m., prior to Handler's talk.
The fair is a program of the JCC in partnership with Schwartz Bookshops and in association with the Jewish Book Council. Handler's appearance is co-sponsored by Time Warner Cable of Wisconsin.

A compilation of translations errors and resulting misconceptions will be dealt here.
- Itachi and kisame spouting that jiraiya solos them. This is a popular one.
Kisame - You could somehow win, but I couldn't stand up to such an opponent for more than a couple of minutes... It's on a completely different level.
Itachi - Ah... Either (we) both (he says both/two, meaning him and Kisame) would die, or it would be a draw... The result wouldn't change even if we increased our numbers.
Kisame - It was good that we found him at the ramen shop... And he has one of the Legendary Sannin as a lucky charm. That guy (Jiraiya) might be a fair match for the strongest Uchiha from Konoha and the Mist's strongest swordsman.
Itachi - Hmm, even so... It's said that every strong man has a weakness...
Kisame and Itachi were talking about the Kyuubi, not Jiraiya. Kisame brings the topic of Jiraiya up later on in the conversation and Itachi acknowledges that he's strong, but he says that he has a weakness.
It seems as if Kisame was babbling on about taking the Kyuubi on, that he couldn't do it more than a couple of minutes but Itachi would have a chance. Itachi states that they both wouldn't stand a chance of winning, even if they increased their numbers.
- Madara says 'this is his doing'. Incorrect.
Madara - あいつらのすることだ… 何か考えがあってのことなんだ ろ う が あまり計画通りに事が運んで な い ようだな オレをこんな形で復活さ せ る と は… この穢土転生の術者は誰だ? -> Those guys, to have done such a thing... What's the reason behind this, to be revived in such a state. Things don't seem to be going according to the plan... Who is the caster of this Edo Tensei jutsu?
Kabuto - ボクはカブト… 彼の協力者です… -> I am Kabuto... His partner/coworker.
Madara was referring to the Allied Forces, he was wondering what made those guys unite like that. And Kabuto was referring to Tobi.
- Madara talks about the 'caster of the jutsu' or did he.
Kabuto - ボク達ごと?-> Us too?
Madara - 当たり前だ… 穢土転生の術は本来こうやって 道 連 れに使うものだ オレ達は少しして元に戻る. -> Of course... Originally, this was the way IWR was meant to be used in the first place. We'll turn to back to normal (regenerate) in no time.
Madara didn't say anything about the caster of the jutsu. He just meant that Edo Tensei was supposed to be used in a suicide bombing manner. It wouldn't make any difference because the zombie would regenerate straight after.
- Naruto says 'you've saved me twice' to hinata.
It should have been:
Hinata thinking - 守ら な きゃ い け な い人に… 守 ら れて ば か りで… やっぱろ私 ってダメ だ… -> I am supposed to be protecting him... But he ends up protecting me instead... I am really useless after all...
Naruto - …気にすん な ヒナタ… オレだ ってお前に2度 も 守 ら れて ばっ か りじゃカッコわりーしな!-> Don't worry, Hinata... Besides, I would look like an idiot if you actually had to protect me twice!
Hinata - わ…わ たしは別 に… そん な 気 にして何 か… -> That... That actually wasn't... What I was worrying about...
Naruto - 目を見りゃわかる いちいち落 ち 込 む な!お前は強えーんだから!! -> It can be understood from your eyes. Don't get down on yourself. Because you are strong!
- Tsunade talks about 'saving FTG for him'.
Tsunade uses あい (ai) to refer to the person they'll transport via FTG.
It definitely is the shortened version of あいつ (aitsu), which is a genderless pronoun that can be used for males and females.
So she was talking about Mei, not a male character.
- Rikudo sennin debut statements.
私はもう長くない... (Watashi wa mo nagakunai...) -> I have a very short time to live...
守鶴 又旅 磯撫 孫悟空 コク王 犀犬 重明 牛鬼 クラマ... (the names of the bijuu) -> Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu(nade), Son Goku, Kokuou, Saiken, Choumei, Gyuuki/Ushi-oni, Kurama...
離れていてもお前達はいつも一緒 だ いずれ一つとなる時が来よう… (Hanarete ite mo omaetachi wa itsumoisshoda izure hitotsu to naru toki ga koyou...) -> Even if there is distance between you/Even if you are seperated, you guys will always be together. You will become one (figuratively, meaning have the same will, follow the same path, yada yada), when the time of your meeting comes...
それぞれの名を持ち… (Sorezero no na omochi...) -> You each have a name...
今までとは違う形でな そして私の中に居た時と違い正しく 導 か れる 本当の力とは何か… (Imamade to wa chigau katachide na soshite watashi no naka ni ita toki to chigai tadashiku michibika reru honto no chikara to wa nani ka…) -> Until now, you've had a different form. Be different than how you were when you were inside me. You will be correctly guided by what true power really is...
Now Kurama speaks/thinks:
長すぎなんだよ…じじい... (Naga sugina ndayo… Jiji...) -> It's been too long...Old man./We've waited so long...Old man.
- Kabuto's quote on danzo prototype.
Kabuto's quote about Danzo's prototype and Orochimaru's relation is mistranslated.
It should have been like this.
Kabuto - ( クク… 大蛇丸様が作った ダ ン ゾ ウ の 試 作 と はわけが違うよ マダラよ り 強 かった初代火影…そしてこの二人を 融 合 し たコレは僕の切り札!!この穢 土 転 生 は誰 も止めら れ な い!) -> Kuku... This is different from what Orochimaru-sama experimented on Danzo... Shodai Hokage who was stronger than Madara! The fusion of these two people, this is my trump card! This Edo Tensei can't be stopped!
- Tobi's and kabuto's talk on poison. Not exactly a mistranslation but still ;
Kabuto - I made a drug that would suppress Hashirama's powers. Zetsu will be fine, I won't use it on him.
Tobi - So it seems that you've studied your lesson well... Orochimaru.
Tobi's sentence is kind of weird, he uses a colloquial expression. But it basically means ''you've been looking into stuff''.
Kabuto clearly states that he created the poison that suppresses Mokuton, but Tobi gives the credit to Oro, believing that Oro was the one who experimented on Mokuton and Hashi's cells.
- Pollen jutsu; Mei saying tsunade's line. Insignificant really.
Raikage - ( 何だ?) -> What?
Mizukage - ( なんて…規模なの…一瞬で 森 を 作 る な んて! ) -> How... This big... How did he create a forest this big in an instant?!
Tsunade - ( 皆花粉に気をつけろ!吸い込むな!) -> Watch out for the polen! Don't you inhale it!
Tsunade thinking - (樹界降誕ではなく花 樹 界 ま で… カブトめ…) -> First Jukaikōtan and now he's able to create Hanajukai... That Kabuto...
Kabuto - ( 初代火影千手柱間ほどの忍は も う い な い…人は皆そう言う… その強さを 聞い た ものは六道仙人と同じくあとぎ 話 だ と ね…今こそ…そのおとぎ話 を 現 実に…!) -> The first Hokage Senjuu Hashirama, there are no Shinobi like him anymore... Everyone agrees on that... As the legend goes, his strenght was comparable to that of Rikudou Sennin... Now... I'll turn that fairytale into reality!
Does gai pour blue or green sweat?
In the Japanese language 青 (ao) and 青い [aoi (noun)] can be used for both the colours blue and green. The meaning of it basically depends on the situation.
Modern Japanese does have a word for green; 緑 (midori). But 緑 (midori) first came around to identify a shade of blue. Like teal, if we have to give an example from the English language.
In the anime too, if I recall correctly, the colour of Gai's sweat was more of a greenish blue instead of a distinctive blue or green.
Even his nickname; 木ノ葉の気高き碧い猛獣 (Konoha's noble green/blue beast of prey) doesn't clear up anything, because 青い (aoi) is used to specify his colour there too.
It may seem weird or vague to the English language users, but it poses no problem for those who consider the colour 青 (ao) as a range of blue to green in the first place. To them, calling something blue or green is like specifying the difference between light brown and dark brown. You can still get away with it by calling it only brown.
"Ao" can refer to any colour ranging between blue and green. Both the sky and grass are ao. In modern Japanese, however, it usually refers to blue; for green they have the word midori. The kanji used to write the ao in this case isn't the usual kanji, though. Here, the kanji 碧 is used, whereas ao is normally written as 青. 碧 has a far stronger connection to green than 青 and can, in fact, even be pronounced as midori.
Then there's the symbolism. ao not only refers to colour, but also to anything young and youthful. In fact, not only is the sweat described as ao, Guy and Lee themselves are also called thus. They even use the same 碧 kanji. In English, the colour used for youthfulness is green. In the colour images we have of them, Kishimoto-sensei always colours Guy and Lee in pure, unambiguous green as well.
So although ao can refer to both blue and green, and even refers to blue most of the time, it is quite clear that in this specific case, green was meant.

100.0% would recommend this item to a friend.
6 out of 6 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Great cut flower
What are the cons? None
I started this variety in a flat a little later in the season, and transplanted out into a bed that has fairly dry soil, but this marigold has bloomed wonderfully! The 2' plants have flowers that grow on long stems, so they make an excellent cut flower that lasts. The plants flowered fairy quickly, so this would be a great plant to sow several times in the growing season for non-stop blooms. In a late-summer bed where most things have started to fade, it's nice to have something still fresh and blooming!

Pro tip: If you're going to disguise yourself in a wig and a dress, make sure you cover the tattoo of your own name.
Police in Davenport, Iowa say Jose Angel Perales, 24, broke into Dr. John's Lingerie Boutique at around 4 a.m. on Feb. 17, grabbing some merchandise before heading into the manager's office, the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier reported.
Surveillance video allegedly shows Perales leaving the manager's office naked. He then tries on clothes for a couple of hours, according to the Daily Mail. Police say he finally donned a red dress and blonde wig before heading out of the store.
The man's watertight disguise had one fatal flaw: During his naked interlude, surveillance cameras caught footage of his tattoo, which reads "Perales" in old English letters across his back, according to investigators. He was arrested Friday, according to WHBF.
Perales was charged with third-degree burglary and third-degree theft.CBS4 - WHBF Quad Cities, IL-IA News Weather Sports

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Bradley used three home runs and all nine players in the lineup had a hit as the Braves topped IPFW 8-6 Friday morning in the team's first game at the Lobo Classic. The victory evened BU's record at 3-3 for the year.
After Bradley jumping out to 3-0 and 5-3 leads, IPFW (2-3 overall) rallied to pull even at 5-5 in the bottom of the fifth, before the Braves hit two of their three home runs in the final two innings. Freshman Kendall Duffy (Naperville, Ill./Benet Academy) put BU ahead for good with her first career home run to lead off the sixth and sophomore Shannon King (San Jose, Calif./Archbishop Mitty) added an insurance run later in the frame with a bases loaded sacrifice fly to put Bradley back in front 7-5.
IPFW answered with a solo homer in the bottom of the sixth and had the tying run on second before Bradley pitcher Madeline Lynch-Crumrine (Sedro-Woolley, Wash./Sedro-Woolley) got out of the jam and the Braves took a 7-6 lead into the seventh. Sophomore Alyson Clemente (Murrieta, Calif./Murrieta Valley), who was 2-for-4 on the day, led off the top of the seventh with a solo home run to give BU an 8-6 lead.
Lynch-Crumrine retired the Mastodons in order in the seventh to close out her team-best third win of the year, improving to 3-1 on the season.
"It was a great battle to start the day," Bradley coach Amy Hayes said. "Maddie (Lynch-Crumrine) didn't quite have her stuff, but she got outs when she had to. (Alex) Chandler, (Alyson) Clemente and (Kendall) Duffy kept us above water by going yard, but IPFW showed tenacity and we will have to make better adjustments when we see them again this weekend.
Bradley struck for the first run of the game in the top of the first after sophomore King had a one-out single. After moving to second on a groundout, King came around to score on a Bailiegh Basham (Mattoon, Ill./Mattoon/Lake Land C.C.) double to left center as the Braves took a 1-0 lead as Basham reached base safely for the 14th consecutive game.
BU added two more runs in the top of the second to jump out to a 3-0 advantage. Junior Alex Chandler (Needles, Calif./Needles) reached on error to open the inning and stole third after moving to second on a sacrifice bunt. Both Chandler and sophomore Brittany Burgess (Utica, Ill./St. Bede) scored on a two-out double off the bat of junior Brianne Joseph (Post Falls, Idaho/Post Falls).
IPFW loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom half of the second after a walk and batter to open the frame. The Mastodons scored a run when Dani Pugh hit into a fielder's choice for the first out of the inning and IPFW added another run on a bases loaded fielder's choice later in the frame. A wild pitch with runners at second and third allowed Hillary Kartman to race home from third and tie the game at 3-3.
Chandler put Bradley back in front in top of the third, belting a two-out, two-run homer to left center to give the Braves a 5-3 advantage.
The Mastadons would answer, however, pushing single runs across in both the fourth and fifth innings to pull even. Alex Bousquet drove in a run with a single in the fourth and Pugh knotted things at 5-5 with a RBI double in the fifth.
Clemente was one of three Bradley players to go 2-for-4 at the plate for the Braves, who collected a season-high 12 hits in the victory. She finished with one run and one RBI. On the heels of a 2-for-3 game against fourth-ranked Arizona State, Chandler continued her hot hitting, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two driven in, while Joseph also went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI.
Bradley continues play at the Lobo Classic later today with a 2:30 p.m. game against Central Michigan.

That was the cause of it, they said, because the ritual wasn't a game after all. It really was magic, but magic has rules, and she broke them. Suddenly thrust into the role of primary caretaker for her family following the tragic death of her husband, Ellie Robbins is appointed to serve out his term as sheriff of their rural Tennessee mountain town. The year is 1936, and her role is largely symbolic, except for the one task that only a sheriff can do: execute a convicted prisoner. Ellie has long proven she can handle herself. But becoming sheriff is altogether different, and the demands of the role are even more challenging when she is forced to combat society's expectations for a woman. Soon enough, dark secrets come to light, and Ellie must grapple with small town superstitions and the tenuous ties she shares with a condemned killer as she carves out a place for herself in an uncertain future. "There is no one quite like Sharyn McCrumb. No one better either" (San Diego Union-Tribune), and her luscious narrative brings her unforgettable characters to life with the "pure poetry" (The New York Times Book Review) that defines her astounding novels.

2015 Football Individual Game Tickets
Single Game Tickets
Mississippi State Athletics will be using dynamic pricing for individual game tickets sold in non-season ticket areas of Davis Wade Stadium. The dynamic pricing area will include sections 301 to 313 on the upper level of the west side. These seats are sold individually when a visiting team does not receive a maximize allotment of tickets. By doing this we feel we will provide our fans greater choice when purchasing tickets as well as offering prices that better reflect market value.
With dynamic pricing, ticket rates for home games can fluctuate based on factors affecting supply and demand including game time, opponent, ranking and more. Buy early and save, as we will start at our lowest price "floor price" in each area when tickets go on-sale. Each week we will adjust the price based on factors such as opponent, national ranking, weather, game date/time and remaining ticket inventory in specific seating locations.
Dynamically priced single game tickets will never move below the original list "floor" price by area and will generally increase over time as inventory decreases. Fans that purchase early are more likely to get the best pricing. Also note that any tickets sold within a season ticket sales area will continue to be the season price plus the pro-rated bulldog club seat obligation amount and do not get changed.
The diagram below shows the west side upper level and the three tiered pricing areas we will price dynamically at Davis Wade Stadium.
Q: What is dynamic pricing?
A: The act of changing the price of a specific seating section for a specific game over time. This does not necessarily mean that every section of every game will be affected. Dynamic pricing is widely accepted within the hotel, airline and professional sports industries. Many college athletic departments are starting to use the method as well and we are trying it out on a limited basis this year.
Q: How are ticket price changes decided?
A: Adjustments will be made based on multiple factors such as demand, scarcity, team performance, visiting team performance, etc., however, Mississippi State Athletics will always price these tickets lower than the average listed secondary ticket price (provided the secondary market does not go below our initial floor price.
Q: Will this affect Season Ticket Holders prices?
A: No. This only applies to single-game tickets and only seats in that are not available on a season basis.
Q: How do you decide if single-game tickets are available?
A: Single game tickets are available for any game that we have not sold locations on a season basis or have tickets that are held for visiting team or contractual agreements that are not taken for a game. In resent years we have sold out of our regular season ticket areas and have only had individual game tickets available for games that the visiting team did not take or sell their full allotment.
Q: What happens if prices are lowered after I buy my ticket?
A: Tickets are always priced based on market demand. While prices typically increase leading up to a game, there may be times where prices decrease should conditions fit. As with all of our tickets, all sales are final. NOTE, purchase early to get the best price!
Q: Does this change how I purchase my tickets?
A: Not at all. Fans will be able to continue to purchase their single game tickets the same way they have in the past, online through HailState.com, by calling 1-888-GO-DAWGS or (662) 325-2600, or at the athletic ticket office.

Fuking pigs, my hate for cops is beyond anything else.
Fuking pigs, my hate for cops is beyond anything else.
There's a lot of cops like that and they all need to be stripped of their badges, but there are also good cops out there so you can't hate on all of them ...this is coming from a guy that was stopped by undercover cops 30+ times-
Actually 9 out of 10 being aZzholes is really not too far off (more like 8 out of 10) I had cops try and set me up making up stories just to take me in...
[Example:] I'm walking home minding my own business and a car pulls up to me, 2 undercover cops jump out with their flashlights in my face and what not interrogating me, yelling at me and telling me "what were you doing talking to those people in that car, and what did you give them I saw you give them something?!"
There was a car on the other side of the street and I wasn't anywhere near it and they just tried to set me up on some bullshyt. A LOT of cops will assume your ignorance towards the law so they will waive your rights if you let them.
Also nowadays cops are being trained differently and being told that, responsibility of a cop is not to protect the public BUT to uphold the law. There is a HUGE difference when you are being told this.
Here is a similar incident that happened last year in NYC:

Thursday, July 31, 2008
The day after a video emerged of a cop knocking a cyclist to the ground, a second video alleging police brutality surfaced today in which an NYPD officer is seen whaling away at a man�s legs with a baton.
The footage - shot on July 4 on the Lower East Side - shows Officer Maurice Harrington repeatedly hitting Michael Cephus, 46, on his legs with a collapsible metal baton as he struggles with officers trying to cuff him.

****, I just remembered this video where they pull a car over and like 15+ cops from a bunch of cop cars swarm the guy and kick the living **** out of him while the news copter films it....

Stephanie Zimbalist teaches "Sex and Education" in a play written by Lissa Levin and directed by Andrew Barnicle which opens at the Colony Theatre 8 p.m. Saturday, February 15. The cast also features Allison Lindsey and William Reinbold.
Before texting, facebooking, and tweeting became the preferred mode of communication for young people, there was writing notes. Remember passing them in high school? Remember how it felt to get caught? OMG! Meet Miss Edwards, a high school English teacher on the last day of a long teaching career. And meet Joe Marks, a basketball star whose college scholarship is suddenly in jeopardy when his attempt to pass his girlfriend a profanity-laced, sexually charged note, dripping with hormones and misplaced modifiers, is intercepted by Miss Edwards during a final exam. With nothing to lose as she bids farewell to her teaching career, Miss Edwards puts an unorthodox approach to the test, using the note to teach him a lesson in English composition, and to see if she can light an intellectual flame under one last underachiever.
Levin enjoys the frequent surprised reaction to the fact that "Sex and Education," a play about the merits and intricacies of good grammar, was written by a 25-year veteran of television comedy. Her credits include the Emmy-nominated "Mad About You," "Cheers," "WKRP In "Cincinati," "Family Ties," "Brothers," "Thunder Alley" (with Ed Asner), "Mr. Belevedere" and "Gloria" (with Sally Struthers), amongst many others. An award-winning librettist/lyricist, Levin garnered the prestigious Kleban Award for the libretto for her musical, "Twist of Fate" (composer Ron Abel), which also won L.A. Weekly's Musical of the Year and two L.A. Drama Critics Circle Awards, and was nominated for a Los Angeles Ovation Award for Best Musical.
"Sex and Education" previews 8 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, February 12-14, opens 8 p.m. Saturday, February 15 and performs 8 p.m. 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 3 and 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday through Sunday, March 16. Tickets range from $20 - $49 (group discounts are available). Opening night performance with reception - all tickets $55. Call 818-558-7000 ext. 15 or visit www.ColonyTheatre.org.
There are question-and-answer talkbacks after the performances on Friday, February 21 and Thursday, March 6.
The Colony Theatre is located at 555 North Third Street (at Cypress) adjacent to the Burbank Town Center Mall.

Q: I was getting ready to reseed my fescue lawn and my lawn care company put out Princep pre-emergent while I was not home. How long do I have to wait before I can reseed?
A: Simazine (Princep, etc) is a common pre-emergent used by professionals. It is very effective at controlling weeds but the label states that you have to wait six months before reseeding. Fortunately, March is the second-best time to plant fescue seed; you'll have to wait until then.

Military to Throw Much-Deserved Party for LGBT Troops
There better be an open bar.
Despite predictions to the contrary, in the nine months since "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was repealed, the military hasn't devolved into an orgiastic same-sex free for all. It's almost like homosexual troops just wanted benefits for significant others and the freedom to stop introducing their partner as their "roommate" at parties. The Defense Department is in a celebratory mood, so it's planning an event to mark June as gay pride month. The military already honors Black History Month and Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month, but this will be the first event to recognize gay and lesbian troops. The details are still being worked out, but we say an open bar is a must. If anyone deserves a drink it's these folks.

Buttman At Nudes A Poppin' 17
Buttmans not in the office much this month. Why? Hes been editing Nudes a-Poppin #17! By far the toughest Buttman movies to edit, every Nudes a-Poppin has 15 to 20 hours of sexy strippers competing for a handful of awards at the Ponderosa Sun Club. Trying to sift all that flesh, all those butts, all that tease down to 140 minutes is agonizing for John. You know he wants the best... so you get the best.

Lennar Quietly Offering 3.25% Mortgages
Builder Lennar Corp. is quietly offering new home buyers a mortgage rate as low as 3.25% for five years–one of the lowest rates ever dangled by a public home builder–an early sign that attention-grabbing specials are coming back.
So far, Lennar, which recently slashed some prices by more than 15% in Las Vegas, appears to be an early mover: Most competitors have avoided price cuts and eye-popping deals as they wait out the worst housing crash in decades. (We'll assume that KB Home's contest for Justin Bieber concert tickets didn't break the bank.)
In recent months, home builders ramped up construction to have houses finished for buyers tapping the home-buyer tax credit that expired April 30. Some builders overestimated buyers' appetite, though it is unclear by how much. Companies will know more after the tax-credit closing deadline expires on June 30, though that may be extended.
Lennar's current offer, crafted to move standing inventory nationwide, requires closing by June 30. And the rate comes with a hitch: After five years, the rate increases up to 1% a year to a maximum of 8.25%. It appears that for to-be built homes, the mortgage rate is 3.99%, fixed for 30 years. Both offers are below current rates for fixed mortgages, which are at historic lows below 5%.
Miami-based Lennar confirmed the offer, but didn't comment further.
For builders, any excess inventory right now is a risk. Following the credit's end, traffic from potential buyers has slowed dramatically, indicating the government's offer pulled demand forward.
Meanwhile, recent data show a weakening sector. Home construction plunged in May, while the National Association of Home Builders trade group this week reported that its builder-confidence gauge fell five points to 17 out of 100 in June.
As a result, builders might have to boost incentives to jumpstart sales. But such a move would hurt their bottom line just as they're near profitability. Price cuts clearly mean less revenue. But even mortgage-rate specials carry a cost: To offer lower mortgage rates, builders make upfront cash payments to mortgage companies, a process known as a "buy down." On a $200,000 loan, it typically costs about $8,000 to buy down the mortgage rate by a full percentage point on a 30-year mortgage.
As we've previously reported, industry experts have long said Lennar's marketing is worth watching. During the downturn, it was one of the first builders to cut prices and offer specials. Others quickly followed, sparking fierce competition that drove prices even lower. In perhaps the best-known blowout bonanza, Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. in 2007 offered the 72-hour "Deal of the Century," shaving six figures off some home prices.
One of Lennar's more creative deals involved offering vouchers for a Ford Mustang in some Florida communities. It remains unclear if that, ahem, drove sales.
Readers, are the days of "Crazy Eddie" deals coming back?

I purchased a Wilson Combat ADP. I know many are asking, why? Well one I kinda like the gun. Small enough for cc and packs a heavier punch than my
Problem I had at the range yesterday was hitting the target way left. I am convinced the reason is I had to really grasp the gun to keep it from turning in my hand. The polymer grip is way too slick.
Today I stopped by the local shop and bought a Hogue Handall, slip on rubber grip.
Big improvement in shooting, matter of fact, I was overly pleased with the performance. The rubber grip does not fit tight enough and had the tendency to slip, so about every 3rd - 4th mag, I had readjust the grip.
That said, is there any product on the market that I can use to bulk up the grip a bit?
