A fatal alcohol-related accident in Florida can be a devastating and life-changing event. The lives of both the accident victim and the intoxicated driver as well as that of their families are likely to be changed forever. Much is written about the effect of drunk driving accidents on drivers and pedestrians that are killed as well as the impact on the drunk driver who may spend years in jail. However, auto accidents caused by someone who is driving under the influence of alcohol can involve another victim rarely contemplated by most – an unborn fetus. If you are involved in a fatal accident with someone who is pregnant, you may face criminal liability not just for the death of the mother but of the pregnant mother's unborn child.
Most drivers involved in Florida DUI fatality accidents are not bad people but normal law-abiding citizens who make a tragic mistake. A person charged with vehicular homicide may be a parent to a small children, a college student loved by his or her parents and a successful productive member of our society. While people are quick to voice condemning tones toward those are involved in a fatal accident while under the influence of alcohol, many of those same voices become quite hushed when the same people are asked if they have ever climbed behind the wheel after drinking. The public condemnation, personal anguish and damage to one's reputation of a fatal DUI accident is even more devastating when the victim is considered particularly vulnerable such as a child or unborn fetus.
Vehicular homicide is defined under Florida law to include "the killing of a human being, or the killing of a viable fetus by any injury to the mother, caused by the operation of a motor vehicle by another in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to, another" [emphasis added]. If you are involved in an accident in Florida with a pregnant mother, you can be prosecuted not only for the death of the mother but for the death of the unborn fetus. The emotional, legal and financial consequences of such a conviction can affect a person long after any period of incarceration. The Florida Vehicular Homicide Statute requires that the fetus be viable outside the womb for you to also be charged with the death of a fetus.
The criminal offense of vehicular homicide in Florida is sometimes called "vehicular manslaughter" because you can be convicted even if you do not know that the accident caused injury or death. An even more troubling aspect to being charged with vehicular homicide in Florida is that it can result from an accident that would have been inconsequential had not someone suffered injury or death. This means that if you are involved in a car accident at a relative low rate of speed, you can still be charged with vehicular homicide if your blood alcohol level is over the legal limit in Florida of .08 percent.
Under Florida criminal law, vehicular homicide is a second-degree felony, which is punishable by a maximum sentence of fifteen years in state prison and a maximum fine of $10,000. If you knew or should have known that the accident occurred and fail to stop to render assistance as well as provide information as required under Florida law, the penalty can be enhanced to a first-degree felony punishable by up to thirty years in state prison.
If you are involved in a fatal car accident in Florida while driving under the influence of alcohol you face life-changing charges. However, the fact that you have been charged does not mean that a conviction is inevitable. There are many defenses that may help keep you out of jail and lead to either dismissal or reduction of the charges. If you have been arrested for vehicular homicide, our experienced DUI vehicular homicide attorneys can assess your situation and advice you of your rights and potential defense strategies.

Average Salary: $49,840
Expected Lifetime Earnings: $2,081,000
Electricians make between $18 and $28 an hour on average. The amount of money you make depends on your employer. Those working for electric power generation companies make the most—usually around $28/hour, local government workers make $25/hour, non-residential building construction electricians or those working for building equipment contractors make $22/hour, and if you are working for a company that sends you out on residential and commercial calls, you will be making a piddling $18/hour.
Many electricians are part of a union. Roughly 32% of electricians are members of a union, such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Works and the United Steelworkers of America. If you join a union, you'll have an ally that will negotiate with companies on your behalf. A union might ask for better wages or a more comfortable or safer work environment. However, unions have different requirements to join. Before you get excited and begin chanting, "Workers of the world, unite," make sure that you meet their minimum requirements.
But now let's say you have your own company and have a dozen other electricians working underneath you. Now you're getting paid every time one of your electricians does. Maybe you also have an electrical parts and supply store. You are no longer making just electrician money—you are making businessman money. We're talking $250k or more a year. Not bad for someone who didn't have to go to 7 years of medical school or stand in front of a judge arguing cases all day.
This dog is tired from upholding the law.

Officials have reported seeing 79 sharks near the Alabama Gulf Coast, that's more than double the previous high reported this summer.
A shark alert has been kept in effect for the fifth consecutive day, according to the Marine Resources Division. Officials will fly over the coast to check the number of sharks.
Marine officials usually expect between three and six sharks in the area. The say the big jump in sharks seen Sunday might be due to better visibility for the spotters during their morning observation flight.
Most of the sharks were concentrated along the eastern part of Alabama's Gulf Coast. Officials spotted 58 sharks between the Alabama-Florida state line and the Gulf State Park, 20 between the state park and Gulf Shores' west public beach and only one from that beach all the way to Dauphin Island.

Big 12 extends Holiday deal
The Holiday Bowl and the Big 12 Conference are expected to announce that they've reached agreement on a four-year extension later this month, sources confirmed Thursday.
The terms, which have been agreed upon by both parties, will continue to give the Holiday Bowl the third pick of bowl-eligible teams from the Big 12 through 2005. A formal announcement is expected once the Big 12 finalizes negotiations with the Cotton and Alamo bowls.
As for this year's game, scheduled for Dec. 28 at Qualcomm Stadium, the Pac-10 team could be known as soon as Monday. Holiday Bowl officials will attend Saturday's game in Seattle between Washington State and host Washington and are prepared to tender Washington an invitation to play in this year's game should the Huskies win Saturday.
Another Holiday Bowl official is attending Saturday's game in Lubbock, Texas, between Oklahoma and Texas Tech. An Oklahoma loss could give the Holiday Bowl a shot at the defending national champion, though speculation has pinpointed Colorado as a front-runner among Big 12 teams.

Short on time, we got suckered into doing what we thought was the most eastern coulior of the N face, which actually dumped us out back on the NE ridge, which we dropped off of to continue climbing the E face over moderate mixed and icy terrain. still didn't get to do the route we wanted, but it made for a unique tour of the mountain. took the train up the following weekend when my buddy was in town only to find a herd of fat tourists who wouldn't leave the concessions.

Top Definition
This move is very similar to the Slop and Drop, but must be done with a partner. To perform the Slap and Nap, a man has sexual intercourse with a woman. Upon orgasm, the man collapses on top of the woman and falls asleep, thus enhancing both the sexual act and the ensuing nap.

Definition of complacent in English:
- It is always wise to guard against adopting a complacent or smug attitude in life as one ages.
- The novelty of them has worn off and no team will again head north with the complacent attitude of an easy win and a night in Edinburgh.
- You only get one life, and if all you ever do with it is grow rich or complacent or comfortable or proud then you might as well not have lived at all.
Complacent and complaisant are two words which are similar in pronunciation and which both come from the Latin verb complacere 'to please', but in English they do not mean the same thing. Complacent is far commoner and means 'smug and self-satisfied'. Complaisant, on the other hand, means 'willing to please', as in the local people proved complaisant and cordial.
- Example sentences
- Are my followers and I supposed to sit there tomorrow and eat our turkey complacently while this persecution is occurring?
- Your editorial complacently endorsed the notion of matching the European Union average on health spending.
- They have not done that by sitting back complacently.
Mid 17th century (in the sense 'pleasant'): from Latin complacent- 'pleasing', from the verb complacere.
please from Middle English:
A word that comes via Old French plaisir 'to please' from Latin placere, found also in implacable (Late Middle English). Phrases like yes, please were originally short for 'may it please you' or 'let it please you'. Please on its own, as used today, was not known to Shakespeare, who used please you: 'Will you hear the letter?—So please you, for I never heard it yet' (As You Like It). The proverbs you can't please everyone and little things please little minds are both old and can be traced back to the late 15th and late 16th centuries. Something pleasant (Middle English) was originally something 'pleasing', the meaning of the word in its French source. If you were complacent (mid 17th century) you were originally willing to go along with what pleases others.

SJVN's rant on Oracle doing Linux Sustaining Support
By Alan Hargreaves-Oracle on Oct 26, 2006
While I don't want to make any actual comment on whether or not Oracle can deliver on what they announced in their press release, I do take issue with something that Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols has said in his rant about it.
The Oracle press release reads, "Red Hat only provides bug fixes for the latest version of its software. This often requires customers to upgrade to a new version of Linux software to get a bug fixed. Oracle's new Unbreakable Linux program will provide bug fixes to future, current, and back releases of Linux. In other words, Oracle will provide the same level of enterprise support for Linux as is available for other operating systems."
First, no one supports their obsolete operating systems. Want to get support for Windows NT? 2000? 98!? Good luck! In any case, with RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), you simply get the next version as part of your contract. No one has to stay with RHEL 3 unless they want to.
Come on Steven, you know better than that.
The commercial O/S vendors have always supported multiple releases. Sun (as an example that I am intimately familiar with) provides patches for Solaris 8 and 9 as well as the current release.
The press release states "Oracle's new Unbreakable Linux program will provide bug fixes to future, current, and back releases of Linux", they don't say how far back. The point they made was that they want to provide the same level of patch support as enterprise customers have come to expect from other operating systems (paraphrased). You just took an extreme example to support your point of view.
To go back to what I work with, no matter how desperately I would love to see folks move off Solaris 8 to 9 or 10, I know that for as long as we provide support for 8 & 9 (and after we drop support for them), we are going to have folks out there running them, simply because that's what some other vendor has certified their application on. To put this into perspective, Solaris 8 was released in February 2000. Solaris 8 is still actively supported.
While I don't want to make any comment about whether or not Oracle can actually deliver, one thing that needs to be said is that if Oracle can deliver a service that is not currently available anywhere else (I'm sure someone will correct that if I'm mistaken), then they deserve the business. The corollary is that if Red Hat don't wish to provide this service, then they really can't cry foul if someone else wants to deliver it.
It would be interesting to see what you would have had to say if a new startup had made a similar announcement.

Workbench Moderation adds arbitrary moderation states to Drupal core's "unpublished" and "published" node states, and affects the behavior of node revisions when nodes are published. Moderation states are tracked per-revision; rather than moderating nodes, Workbench Moderation moderates revisions.
About Workbench
Workbench is a suite of modules which provide easier content management for content administrators. Each of the "Workbench" modules has been tested to work with the main Workbench module, and with the other modules in the Workbench suite. The Workbench suite is modular, allowing site builders to build the workflow that best suits the content administrators on their site. The Workbench suite provides authors, editors, and publishers with a unified interface for managing content relevant to them. It allows people to focus on content, rather than on learning Drupal.
Workbench Moderation may be run as a stand-alone module with no dependencies; however, certain features are available only when the Workbench module is also enabled.

Dear Alice,
I enjoy my spicy foods. In fact, the spicier, the better. If I break a sweat when I'm eating, I've made a successful meal. I'm extremely active, physically, and I rarely get sick. I don't use tobacco, but I drink coffee daily. I average about two bowel movements a day, and I've found within the last week or so, blood on my toilet paper when I wipe my arse. Can the blood be caused by my spicy foods? I had my wife check out the area in question, and she says that it doesn't look like my rectum was bleeding (but it sure felt like it for about two minutes). I just wanted to know if the spicy foods can actually cause bleeding around there, and if so, does this mean that the bleeding could be caused in other places within my digestive system?
Bendin'-n Burnin'
Dear Bendin'-n-Burnin',
Sorry to hear that your rectum is wrecking your life right now! The good news is that there may not be any reason to cool off on spicy foods just yet. Although eating spicy foods can irritate your stomach and aggravate other digestive problems, they cannot cause your stomach, or any other organ in your digestive tract, to bleed on its own. In some cases, they can lead to inflammation in people who have very sensitive stomachs, such as those with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). However, because you have a history of frequently enjoying spicy foods before the bleeding started, this is probably not the case. Is it possible that the blood is actually in your stools? If this is the case, you may want to consider seeing a medical provider sooner rather than later.
Ulcers, which are caused commonly by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or aspirin, can wear away at the walls of the stomach and duodenum (small intestine) and cause bleeding.
The most common cause of bleeding in the lower digestive tract (which consists of the large intestine and rectum) is the presence of hemorrhoids in the anus or rectum. Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in that area that can be torn or ruptured, leading to the appearance of bright red blood in the toilet and/or on toilet paper. They are caused by increased pressure on the veins of the lower digestive tract, and common sources of the pressure include (but are not limited to) heavy lifting, diarrhea, and extra straining due to constipation.
Alternatively, an anal fissure, or a cut on the lining of the anus, may be responsible for the bleeding. In the worst-case scenarios, bleeding from the digestive system can signify various forms of cancer, cirrhosis, Crohn's Disease, or polyps, especially if it is accompanied by pain.
Because there are so many different things that can cause the bleeding, it is probably a good idea to visit a health care provider.
May your bum stop its burnin'!

Mats Sundin Ecstatic About Being Honoured
Saturday, 10.29.2011 / 8:31 PM ET / Mike Ulmer's Blog
By Mike Ulmer - Mapleleafs.com commentator
|RELATED: Press Release | Sundin Makes Special Visit | Sundin Makes Two Community Appearances
|VIDEO: Mats Sundin Tribute Oct. 29 | Sundin at St. Angela James Arena | Sundin at Sick Kids
|DISCUSS IT ON: Twitter | Facebook
Mats Sundin Interview:
It's official. The Leafs are about to raise Mats Sundin's number 13 to the rafters.
The Leafs will honor Sundin's number 13 with a ceremony, February 11. The Montreal Canadiens, no strangers to ceremony, will be the opposition.
Sundin was accorded a lengthy ovation when introduced in the first period of the Leafs' game against Pittsburgh. Now that the ceremony date is official, Sundin is ecstatic.
"To get a chance to represent the Leafs and play in a city like this, you watch a game from the stands and the atmosphere…it's tough to describe in words."
At 40, Sundin said the team's two runs to the final four were the best moments of his career.
"You win one playoff game in the first round and people celebrate like you win the Stanley Cup. It's very special. I don't think you see that anywhere else."
Sundin will become the 16th player to be so honored. The list includes Syl Apps, Ted Kennedy, Turk Broda, Johnny Bower, Tim Horton, King Clancy, George Armstrong, Charlie Conacher, Frank Mahovlich, Darryl Sittler, Hap Day, Red Kelly, Borje Salming, Wendel Clark and Doug Gilmour.
The club only retires numbers of superior players whose careers were shortened due to death or calamity. The only retired numbers are the number 6 worn by Ace Bailey and later Ron Ellis and Bill Barilko's number 5.

Goals by Mariah Nogueira and Alina Garciamendez within 37 seconds of each other late in the match lifted No. 2 Stanford to a 2-1 women's soccer win over host Colorado on Sunday to extend the Cardinal's conference winning streak to 36.
The Cardinal (11-1-1, 5-0 Pac-12) rallied from its first deficit since Aug. 26 against West Virginia.
Steven Sanchez (Piedmont Hills High) scored at the 25:16 mark, and Garret Foster added a goal in the 73rd minute, lifting the San Jose State men's soccer team (5-4-1, 2-0-1 MPSF) to a 2-1 win at UNLV (3-9-1, 1-2).


text: So when I ssk, I slip both sts as to knit. My KO sock pattern has me slip as to knit then slip as to purl. (My anniversary sweater pattern says the same thing but I went ahead and did what I've always done). Amy's decrease videos offer both options and she says that some people think slipping the second stitch purlwise makes for a smoother decrease that mimics k2tog more closely. I need to decide what I'm going to do for these socks (when I get that far, which will be awhile!), and I'm curious about what most people do, and why.

So I totally swallowed the red pill on Mother's Day and forgot to make more of my cards-you-should-never-send-to-someone-unless-you-hate-them. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're probably better off, but here's the link. As you can see, I have a lot of work to do (most of that is going to be finding artwork I can actually USE, which is shockingly difficult) (I'm all ears to suggestions)(if any of these are your images and I've taken them in error, please let me know and I'll remove them immediately).
But Father's Day is this weekend, and how could I forget with The Daver constantly telling me things like, "Oh, well, the new iPHONE is coming out!" and "I need a new computer!!" Because apparently, Father's Day is cause for me forking over loads of cash. Who knew?
Since I borked on Mother's Day, I figured I should make it up to all of the three dads out there who read my blog and might appreciate the sentiment. If Hallmark were smart, this is what they'd make because inappropriate is always better than appropriate.
72 Responses to Pretty Sure Hallmark Will Be Beating Down My Door…To Kill Me.
you make me happy in the pants. I need one that says: Even though I was a little asshat shitforbrains, thank you for never sending me back to the state, Dad. You're the tops.
I like the second one
I love them and I'm sure my dad would too. My mom, on the other hand, would probably refuse to speak to me for the rest of the day.
When my son was first born, we had just gotten a Nintendo GameCube so we played it. A lot. When my son would cry, my response was always "Mommy's playing Nintendo right now!" I still get shit for that one but it made me laugh. 🙂
When your son was first born? Wha???
Oh, never mind, I get it. "Born again". Duh.
I guess I meant to simply say "When my son was BORN." Although he is my first born too. Sometimes my English skills are wonky and unsophisticated. Like me. 🙂
2nd and 3rd ones are the best! thanks for this. i needed a laugh today!!
You complete me.
I'm so glad I discovered you through my sister. You complete me.
I really like the "Daddy, I'm so glad you didn't use birth control." That one is actually quite cute 🙂
Of course I'm a dad, so I'm probably a little biased 😉
The lemonde one killed me! So awesome!
I need one for my Dad thanking him for burning the image of middle age men in their tighty whiteys into my retina.
I cannot date men who wear them because of him. I guess he had a problem with losing his pants for a few years too.
not even gonna lie, my child wore a "daddy drinks because I cry" onsie. And then my nephew wore it. And then my second child wore it. Fantastic.
I SO wanted that onesie for the Poose! I never got around to it, and somehow it seems less appropriate for a 4 year old (is that weird?)
My favorite is the last.
I'm ordering one in size XL.
You crack my ass up! I would love a couple made into t-shirts.
I heart you Aunt Becky. These are hysterical.
FWIW, J is getting some Star Wars pancake molds with which I will make pancakes that morning. They're Williams-Sonoma, though, so that automatically makes them awesome.
Oh, my God. There are Star Wars pancake molds? If they're less than $100 (and I know they might be that much), I'm totally getting them. My boys will love me forever if they can have Star Wars-shaped pancakes for breakfast!
LOVE the cards. Do you care if I print them and use them for fathers day? EVERYONE should get one of these. Much too good to pass up!
Your Lemonade card made me spit the lemonade out I was sipping! Great idea for cards! Hilarious!
My favorite is the last one.
Bwa-hahahahaha! You made me laugh and that's no small feat today. I have a migraine so thank you. Thank you. And thank you again.
LMAO!! Love them!! 🙂
That last one is the best!!!!!!
Maybe you can take your own pictures of stuff, then you don't have to worry about it. And I'm sure you could be much more creative about it that way too.
now who wants a fucking burger! loves it.
i want a mothers day one that says "my day is bigger than yours and size does matter."
i meant father's day one. doh.
I like the "Your sister is a slut" one. Classics as usual!
You are a sick and twisted woman Aunt Becky. Thank you for my much needed daily dose of snark.
Oh Aunt Becky u ROCK!
Also just so you know that I ROCK I ordered your buddy's book Everything something or other…. I forget the name of it but I support u and ur friend! I am sure its good cause u Rock like I said
maybe one day we can meet I dont live that far from ur stompin grounds LOL
Dear Aunt Becky,
A trying day at work, and then I come home to…this. MUWAhahahahahah!
Thank you, thank you.
How dearly I love you, my Internet Darling.
LOL x forever!
My favorites are 'daddy drinks because you cry' and 'thanks for not using birth control'. Bawaahaha
These are your best bunch yet! I'm stealing one of each.
(Just kidding. I don't even know how to do that.)
These remind me of the baby t-shirt my knocked-up friend got at her baby shower: "All mommy wanted was a back rub."
Once again…you've totally ruined anything I could find at Hallmark…yours rock!
I just went through receipts from last month to pay bills and discovered how much my Mother's Day gift cost. Let's just say the card my husband gave me cost slightly more. Methinks I'm going to ponder one of these cards for him because really, these are priceless!
Dammit. Now I can't do this!
(also: mobile version caches email addresses)
Dammit woman, your posting all my secrets! Especially the golf one. 😉
Loving the golf cards in particular. Not that the husband plays golf but still…
That last one was priceless!
I was reading my mom's (the short curly haired tambourine player you nailed in the back of your van after you gig at the folk fest in 1969) diary the other day and as it turns out I wasn't immaculately conceived after all!.
Happy Father's Day
"Daddy Drinks Because I Cry." Priceless!
I love the lemonade pee one! He probably won't be able to tell the difference after all the beer! hahahahah
OMG! I thought that my Hallmark moments were awesome, but they shrink in comparison to the witty prose that spews from your keyboard. High five to you Aunt Becky!!!
Holy crap, you just answered my question about what to get my husband for Father's Day (although technically shouldn't that be my kid's problem?) He's getting a framed set of these greeting cards, but I may photoshop his face onto the dad's faces in the pictures. And also possibly on the golf balls, because it would amuse me.
The birth control one slays me.
bahahaha!! CLASSIC!! LOVE IT!
You need to make these into a full merchandise line for next year. Drink coasters, beer mugs, party-ware. You'd be living like an heiress in no time.
i serve lemonade to all my men. just to be safe.
Your cards make me damn proud to know you:)
xxoo (I'm posting my fav with props to you on fb)
love these!

I blame you ladies..... :)
Dh took me to pamper myself on friday.... got my hair done, stopped into A.C. Moore in Saratoga... finally got out of there 52 dollars later (can you say HUGE SALE on yarn?)... bought some basic tooks (one of those medallions with the blade inside for cutting yarn, some cable needles... saw the lightup knitting needles, almost bought some bamboo needles...)
Anyway, I ended up deciding to make the irish hiking scarf and found a hat with the same cable in it... so i found some Moda*dea fashionista in Berry Blitz... it's so soft!!!!
I also picked up two of those plastic containers with the handles that you put your yarn in to protect it from dirt, crud, and CATS (after having to throw away 2 skeins because my pain in the butt cats decided to pee on them!)
4 skeins of Red Heart Soft in sweatpea print (deciding what to make, it was marked 1/2 off so i only paid $1.50 a skein!)
2 balls of the sugar n cream stripes (i'm thinking a bag for my yoga mat... went to take it with me to the beach yesterday and the strap kept sliding off it, highly annoying!!!)
I also found 2 skeins of the Caon Simply Soft shadows (the dyelots don't match... but i could make a scar or hats with each skein) in color 0004 Autumn....
I also found more of the Lion brand chenille thick n quick in monarch, marked down to $3.50 but i have 5 skeins here at home (going to make a shawl with it...) so i'm wondering if Lion brand is discontinuing the color... I hope not because it'll look great with my formal dress for the Tribe gatherings (which is being taken in this week so i can wear it sunday!)
My dh couldn't say much, i gave him some money from my college refund so he could buy a couple of video games, but i'm going to stop into the local joann's and use my 40% off coupon on a set of size 11 bamboo knitting needles for the shawl...
I also picked up one of those Susan Bates knit cheks too so that I can keep track of which needle is which size after my investment in some double pointed sock needles....
So many ideas, so little time to knit!!!
anyone have any ideas what to make with the 4 skeins of the RH soft sweetpea print??? I have 16 ounces of it total...
I must say i was disappointed with AC Moore's though. I went in looking for the yarn to make the
valentine socks
found on the lionbrand website and they didn't have either the Tiffany OR the lion cashmere blend...
I also found that Vanna's Choice yarn... it felt as rough and scratchy as the cheap walmart brand yarn or the red heart yarn (which is the same brand... found that out through the head of the crafts department at WM). I think it's safe to say it's something i WON'T be buying.
Y'all have turned me into a "yarn snob"
nada. taking a break.

A new piece of digitally signed spyware for Mac OS X uses a special Unicode character in its file name to hide its real file extension from users and trick them into installing it. The malware, which has been dubbed Janicab.A, is written in Python and is packaged as a stand-alone Mac application using the py2app utility, researchers from security firm F-Secure said Monday in a blog post.

Capt. Troy Elwell said a woman at the residence notified police after she discovered a white man, wearing all black, in the home. The woman told investigators he pointed a handgun before fleeing.
Elwell said it appears the burglar was unaware the home was occupied.
Langley-Bath-Clearwater Middle and Jefferson Elementary schools were put on lockdown for several hours as a precaution while deputies searched the area. Elwell said the lockdown has been lifted but deputies remain in the area.

Healthy Eating Tips for People with Lupus
Bad eating habits can make it harder for your body to fight lupus. Luckily, simple changes in what you eat can make a big difference in how you feel day to day and protect your body–especially your heart–from lupus damage. The first step to healthy eating: Cut back on the Bad and eat more of the Good.
The Bad
Fat: Fried foods, fast foods, and foods made with oil and butter are usually high in fat. Eating too much of these foods can increase your risk for heart attack, stroke and diabetes. Try baking or grilling foods. Think fresh foods, not fast foods.
Caffeine: Coffee, tea and soda almost always have caffeine, which can irritate your stomach and keep you awake. Cutting out caffeine gives your stomach an important rest, especially if you take lupus drugs that already bother your stomach, and can help you sleep better.
Salt: You'll need to cut back, especially if you have lupus kidney disease or high blood pressure.
Alcohol: Mixing it with drugs (even Tylenol) can be a danger to your health.
The Good
Fruits & Vegetables: These are great sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. They should make up the majority of what you eat.
Calcium & Vitamin D: If you are taking corticosteroids to treat lupus, you are at risk for osteoporosis–a disease that weakens your bones. Low-fat yogurt, cheeses and milk are high in calcium and Vitamin D, which can make your bones stronger. Also, by drinking milk while taking certain medications, you can avoid upsetting your stomach.
Whole Grains & Wheat: Eat more wheat and whole grain breads and cereals that are high in fiber. This can prevent constipation and reduce your risk of heart disease.
Low-Fat Proteins: Fish, chicken and beans are better for you than fatty meats. Eat baked or grilled fish, like salmon and tuna that are rich in heart-healthy omega-3 oil.
Water: Drink at least 8 cups of water a day. Drinking plenty of water is good for your whole body, from your kidneys to your skin, and can help you to control hunger.
Just Ask The Cooperative!
Dear LCNY,
I was just diagnosed with lupus. What lifestyle changes do you recommend?
LCNY Says: Being sick can be hard work, but you can and should do things to make yourself feel better.
In addition to basic healthy habits–eating well, not smoking, staying active–try to stay out of the sun and conserve your energy.
Also, make lifestyle changes to reduce stress, which is believed to trigger lupus flares–making your condition worse. You may need to cut back on hours at work or get friends and family members to help ease the demands in your life. Try to be flexible. If you're tired, rest. If you're in pain, stop what you're doing. Know your limits. Lupus is not an easy disease, but it can be managed, and you can continue to live a full life.
Healthy Eating Tips for People with Lupus
My Tired is Tired!
It has been very difficult lately to get stuff done. I have to completely pace myself and take things one step at a time. Definitely, day by day. No matter how much I rest I get it seems as if it is never enough. On Monday, all I can think about is getting through the week and it just seems to feel extremely long and like the days just drag when I'm at work. Last January, my doctor disabled me but I decided by August that I needed to go back to work. I went back in late November and now I feel as if I can't go one another week. Do any of you feel this way? I wonder if I'm the only one with this issue.
I have gone to school to darn long to just give up. I feel like I would let down my kids and the rest of my family. Lupus and fibromyalgia alone are enough to make someone feel extremely and utterly unable to everyday tasks, so just imagine having 6 invisible and chronic illnesses. Don't get me wrong that there are days I can actually get stuff done just that the next day I kinda pay for it. I went to Disneyland twice this month, so that's great but keep in mind i did 4 rides the most and came home. I wish and pray that all my fellow spoonies are doing fantastic today, tomorrow and everyday!
This is Lupus…
Watch her videos! Love her.

Flare flare go away!!!
This time around I have had the worst flare, extreme fatigue just horrible pain and get very depressed and I'm sad to admit to it but it is the truth and I want to share it with you. I know many of you guys suffer the same or maybe even worst. There are days where I can get up and I can do somethings so I do it because I have my kids to take care of so I do it to make them happy and to do things that a mother has to do. The problem with that is that the flare doesn't completely go away and I fallback into bed so what are we to Do? As lupus fighters and we have this type of cycle over and over again what do we do?
Depression can become overwhelming at times where we have to be mentally strong to manage the pain and loneliness & everything that our body is going through and not just that but outside including our home our friends etc. There are changes in our school or work things that we are losing & are not able to do it is very difficult but we need to understand things will be okay and God will be by us and he will guide us!
Our situation will get better we need to be strong & relying on family, speaking up & asking for help is such a great thing got us. you know also I have a lot of friends on social media that are very helpful you know they give me the strength that I sometimes need because they give me encouraging words and you know I know that I'm not alone and I'm not the only one going through all this pain.
Sorry for tonight's rant but my pain is just so unbareable I had to say something tonight, couldn't type so I used Siri to type this up but I hope you're all doing well tonight and have a good night love you! Xoxo
Unbearable Pain!
I would like to ask you my readers… What do you do when your pain just becomes unbearable and your pain meds are just not enough?
These are the toughest and longest nights in our lives, so I want to see if we can learn any tips from one another. Thank you:)

After becoming the first golfer from his country to triumph at Augusta National, Scott went on to finish in a tie for third at last month's British Open at Muirfield and on Sunday earned a share of fifth at the PGA Championship.
"Obviously I'm peaking at the right times," Scott, who ended the year's final major five shots behind winner Jason Dufner, told reporters.
"It's hard to stay there for four days and have the lead the whole time, but I feel like I'm improving still. So it's something to build on for next year's season."
Fellow Australians Jason Day finished a further two shots back in a tie for eighth place after firing a three-under 67 in Sunday's final round while Marc Leishman closed with a two-under 68 to grab a share of 12th.
Not including the Americans, no other country was as well represented among the top-12 finishers at the PGA Championship, which to Scott is a sign of things to come.
"We've got a whole host of guys with the experience. It's just a matter of form," said Scott. "We have got the guys with the talent. That never goes away; it's just their form.
"When that comes back, we're going to be really strong. It wouldn't surprise me, you know, seeing Jason or myself or Leish do well to get right back in the mix."
Scott, who led the British Open by one shot with seven holes to play, had a fighting chance of winning at Oak Hill, or at least forcing a playoff, though he needed to navigate the East Course's challenging closing holes better with the leaders faltering.
Two under for the day when he arrived at the 16th tee, Scott was unable to find a fairway or hit a green in regulation the rest of the way.
He would go on to make bogeys at 16 and 18 which left him with no chance of catching Dufner, who was playing in the final group and went on to finish at 10 under.
"It was a bit of fun, the last glimmer of hope, you know. But then I had three poor drives to finish with," said Scott.
"I don't know what happened the last few holes, but I felt like I may as well have a go at it down 16.
"If I drive it in the fairway, it's just a wedge. If I could birdie them all, I would have finished 10 under and you never know."

Male Worlds–Female Worlds: Gender Specific Aspects of Early Joseon Painting
Hosted by the History of Art Department, Dr. Burglind Jungmann will give a public talk that analyzes Korean paintings of the 15th and 16th centuries and unwraps layers of social significance and cultural background. The lecture will shed light on the shaping of male and female roles in early Joseon society and on the role that Buddhism played in this Confucian world.
Dr. Jungmann joined UCLA as Professor of Korean Art History in 1999 and held an appointment as Adjunct Curator of Korean Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from 1999 to 2003. Her teaching and research interests include the history of Korean painting in its cultural, social, and political contexts, and the exchange in art between China, Korea, and Japan. Her book Painters as Envoys: Korean Inspiration in Eighteenth-Century Japanese Nanga was published by Princeton University Press in 2004. Most recently, Dr. Jungmann served as guest curator for the UCLA Fowler Museum's Life in Ceramics exhibition, which is on view at UMMA April 2 through June 26.
Dr. Jungmann will also give a public talk specifically about the current Life in Ceramics exhibition on Sunday, April 10 at 3 pm in the Helmut Stern Auditorium.

Hundreds lined both banks of the Muskingum River Friday morning, hoping to witness a unique experience only life on the river can provide.
"I've lived here 60 years," said Chris Cook, of Reno, "and I've never seen them turn that bridge."
She was speaking of the Historic Harmar Bridge, which was opened by about half a dozen men in bright orange life vests a little past 10 a.m., to make way for the returning W.P. Snyder Jr.
Article Video
Students from Harmar Elementary stood in anticipation, a capacity load waved from the Valley Gem sternwheeler and dozens set up lawn chairs at the Marietta Harbor as the 92-year-old Snyder made its way from the Ohio to the Muskingum River, on its way home to the Ohio River Museum.
In November, the boat was removed and taken to the McGinnis Shipyard in South Point where it was to undergo a $1.4 million renovation project. Evidence of the work replacement of the paddle wheel was very noticeable as the boat cruised past, assisted by two tugboats.
"Unfortunately the major portion of the renovation, replacement of the hull, is not visible from outside the boat," said George Kane Jr., director of the Ohio Historical Society's historic sites and facilities, who followed the returning W.P. Snyder Jr. from the confluence of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers aboard the Valley Gem.

The W.P. Snyder Jr. passes by the Historic Harmar Railroad Bridge Friday as it returns to Marietta after a major renovation project.

Muscle power gets the bridge turned to allow the sternwheeler to pass on the Muskingum River.
"Our goal is long-term preservation of Ohio's historic resources, and this boat is a national treasure," Kane added. "It's the only one of this type that's still in the water - a unique steam-powered vessel. Marietta is a wonderful town, and having the Snyder here complements the city's historical significance."
For many on the Harbor side of the river, the highlight was seeing the bridge turn and witnessing a piece of history floating by.
"I think it's pretty cool," said Tiffany Cook, 38, who accompanied her mother, Chris, to the welcome party.
Fact Box
5 Things to know about the W.P. Snyder Jr.
The boat is 175 feet long and 32 feet wide and has a paddle wheel of 21 feet in diameter.
The vessel weighs 342 tons.
It is equipped with two sets of compound engines which generated 750 horsepower each, total of 1,500 horsepower.
The Snyder's entire career was spent towing barges loaded with coal, iron ore and finished steel products on the Ohio River and its tributaries.
The Snyder is the last remaining steam-powered, sternwheel towboat still afloat.

Elaine Glazier of Barlow brought her three children down to see the spectacle and used the occasion as a chance to teach them something about the area's history.
"We home school, and this is definitely a lesson in Ohio history," she said. "I think it's wonderful that Marietta has something like this to offer."
The W.P. Snyder Jr.'s journey home from the South Point dry docks would have been uneventful except for one problem that developed just north of Ravenswood, W.Va., where an 8-inch pipe that helps support the sternwheel slipped out of its position.
Article Links
Around 3:30 p.m. Thursday, the tugboat pilot noticed a bolt holding a smaller bracing tube had rusted through and caused the larger pipe to fall, according to Bill Reynolds, historian for the Ohio River and Campus Martius museums, who was aboard the Snyder from South Point to Marietta.
"We tied up to a sunken barge near Ravenswood and waited for a welder to make the repair," Reynolds said.
Kim Schuette, communications and media relations manager for the Ohio Historical Society, said the sternwheel suffered no significant damage.
"Once the Snyder is secured to her moorings at the Ohio River Museum, a permanent repair will be made (to the bracing)," she said.
The sternwheeler's return to its moorings at the museum along the Muskingum River Friday happened 55 years and one day after the vessel first arrived in Marietta.
Floyd Barmann, site manager for the Campus Martius and Ohio River museums, said the Snyder was missed.
"This is half of our river museum," he said. "Marietta has a tremendous boat-building history, and the Snyder is a big part of the experience for our visitors."
Barmann noted that attendance numbers at the Ohio River Museum had not suffered during the W.P. Snyder Jr.'s absence, due largely to the increased hours that the facility is open throughout the week. Previously the museum was only open on weekends.
Barmann said tours aboard the Snyder will resume Saturday when a special welcome home ceremony for the vessel will be held at 2:30 p.m. at the Ohio River Museum. Ohio first lady Frances Strickland is scheduled to make a major announcement about the next phase of the boat's restoration.
Marietta Mayor Michael Mullen called the W.P. Snyder Jr. "symbolic of the whole Marietta story. Our rivers were the first interstate highways in this country, and more than 160 steamboats were built here over the years. Our levees and landings were centers of the community.
"And everything about the Snyder is authentic - it was always a work vessel - and what visitors see is not a dressed-up boat," he said. "People want to see the real deal."
On Friday night, more than three dozen people gathered at the river museum to hear readings from work by Fred Way, a riverboat captain, artist and author, who accompanied the Snyder on its journey to Marietta in 1955. Kentucky-based singer-songwriter Debbie Tuggle Pendley performed original songs inspired by the Ohio River.
"I'm looking at the river I write about all the time," she told the crowd. "You can't imagine the goosebumps on my arms."

CROS – Expand. Enhance. Empower.
The Centralized Revenue Opportunity System (CROS) replaces the Board of Equalization's (BOE) legacy computer systems with an innovative customer-centered solution.
We anticipate this new solution will maximize the effectiveness of staff operations, generate an annual net increase of $200 million in previously unidentified revenue, and provide efficiencies that will benefit California businesses with:
- Expanded online services for customers.
- Enhanced ability for our customers to communicate with us at any time, from anywhere.
- Empowering technology that reinforces transaction accuracy and security.
The CROS Project Team is using our new Pre-Implementation – Implementation (PI-I) approach to IT modernization that enables us to resolve several issues prior to implementation, gives greater ownership of the new system to BOE employees, and should lower the overall cost of the project.
Project Lifecycle
As we continue progress on the CROS solution, this section provides regular status updates with a brief description of the current phase, our most recent achievement, and the next anticipated milestone.
Project Status: Pre-Implementation Phase
During this phase we update our business rules, clean and stage our data, catalog all interfaces, and develop a system inventory.
Parallel to these vital initiatives, we define the scope and functionality of the CROS solution by drafting a Request for Proposal (RFP).
Once the RFP is approved by the Department of General Services and released to the public, vendors will propose solutions. We will select the best solution for the BOE and our customers.
What's New:
- In April, the members of the Board of Equalization selected Chris Caietti as the new Chief Technology Officer and Director for the CROS Project.
- The BOE has entered negotiations with multiple bidders and a vendor is expected to begin work later this year.
If you would like to know more about the project, please visit our resources page or contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Why are we different? – The CROS Distinction
California is the cradle of Information Technology (IT) civilization. Silicon Valley is the home of Apple, Google, Facebook, and numerous start-ups, giving us a wealth of resources from which to draw.
We have reviewed numerous California public sector IT projects and learned from their successes and challenges.
This has enabled us to develop a proactive strategy to mitigate those challenges called the PI-I (Pre-Implementation and Implementation) approach.
We are Proactive: The PI-I Approach
At a high level, traditional projects are divided into two phases: Procurement followed by Implementation. Instead, we have strategically divided the CROS project into Pre-Implementation and Implementation (PI-I), wherein procurement is included as an individual component of the Pre-implementation phase.
During the Pre-Implementation phase, we have discovered issues earlier rather than later, by shifting work that is normally done by the contractor during implementation to BOE employees during pre-implementation. This ensures that preparatory work stays within the agency, and gives state employees greater involvement in, and ownership of, the project.
A Revised Approach to IT Modernization highlights the specific practices we've undertaken with the PI-I approach to address the various problems that adversely affected previous government IT projects and makes recommendations that can be adopted as a model for future projects and incorporated into future Feasibility Study Reports (FSRs).
Our Project Director provided a summary of our PI-I approach during his report at the February 2013 Board of Equalization meeting.
CROS: A Customer-Centered Solution
California Businesses will benefit with:
- A single registration for multiple tax and fee programs
- Access to more information that can be used to improve business operations
- Return filing assistance which helps reduce errors
- Expanded online services with increased account maintenance capabilities, including: access to real-time account information and the ability to track and obtain correspondence with the BOE.
BOE will benefit with:
- Faster and easier implementation of new legislation or program changes
- Greater efficiencies through streamlined business processes
- Automation of manual program processes with real-time access to customer information
External Partners (Federal, State and Local) will benefit with:
- Improved access to internal BOE data
- Improved tools and methods for analyzing and reporting data
Benefits-Based Contracting
While IT modernization can improve compliance and collections for state revenue agencies, recent budget constraints have made it increasingly difficult to fund new IT projects. Fortunately, we are able to finance the CROS project using revenue generated by and attributed to the new system.
This compensation strategy, called Benefits-Based Contracting, has been successfully employed by the Franchise Tax Board (FTB), Employment Development Department (EDD), and multiple state revenue agencies throughout the country, including:
- Hawaii
- Missouri
- Kansas
- South Carolina
- Virginia
- Texas
- New Jersey
- New York
CROS Project Resources
Here you can access project documents, such as the Request for Proposal (RFP), the Special Project Report (SPR), the Feasibility Study Report (FSR), and previous Board Meeting reports from the CROS Project Director.
Request for Proposal (RFP)
The Request for Proposal contains the preliminary requirements of the CROS system and reflects our general strategy and short/long term goals for the project. The RFP serves as the BOE's official solicitation of bids from Technology Contractors to build the CROS system.
Approved by the Department of General Services on July 1, 2013.
Special Project Report (SPR)
A Special Project Report (SPR) was developed to realign the project schedule with the (Procurement) Key Action dates stated in the CROS RFP, Section I. The SPR established a new schedule, resource, and cost baseline for the project. The SPR was approved by the Department of Technology on February 28, 2014.
Feasibility Study Report (FSR)
The Feasibility Study Report details our initial project objectives and proposed solution to replace our antiquated legacy computer systems, the Integrated Revenue Information System (IRIS) and the Automated Compliance Management System (ACMS).
Submitted to the California Technology Agency on May 23, 2011

This isn't the first time the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment has conducted urban training operations over a major US city. I think the last time they did it was over Houston.
Night operations over an urban area are incredibly challenging, and so require regular practice. Building a raining range isn't exactly practical, so they simply fly over US cities. One presumes they have conducted reasonable liaison not just with the local police, but also the FAA and air traffic control facilities in the area.

The in-laws went to St. Augustine, FL last spring and brought us a bottle of Datil Pepper Classic Red Sauce. The consistency is thick, and on initial taste, it has a sweet tomato flavor with lingering heat from the peppers. The ingredients are tomato concentrate, sugar, vinegar, salt, onion powder, green and datil peppers, onions, spices (possibly oregano?)
Looking for some creative ways to use this...any help is appreciated!

Europe's Early Christmas Present to U.K.
It can be hard to see bright spots when riding on the euro-coaster (as Goldman Sachs described it today), unless you happen to be a lawyer, a sovereign mint or a cash-machine manufacturer, all of which will be in high demand if the currency breaks apart.
But for the U.K., there is an unintended benefit to be found.
As investors have fled euro-zone debt markets, U.K. government bonds–gilts–have been sought after, with yields plunging.
It would be unwise to get carried away with this theme: one of the bigger gilts buyers in town is the Bank of England, which is in the middle of its second round of quantitative easing. Still, U.K. 10-year borrowing costs have now dropped below Germany's for the first time since 2009.
All in all, the surge in gilts prices means the U.K. will save more than £22 billion in interest payments over the next four financial years, Chancellor George Osborne said in his autumn budget statement Tuesday.
So, sure, if Europe managed to eat its own tail, that would be bad news for the neighboring U.K., as the Bank of England and the government have stressed a number of times of late. But, ya know, every cloud…

Skill Level Beginner
So we have this project here with tons of clips of all different types in our Project panel. And it not sound like your mom, but this was the mess and needs to be cleaned up. So what we're going to do is we're going to talk about how to tidy up the Project panel. This is actually an extremely small project to compared what you will have. You probably, in the real world, will never have a project with this few clips. And realistically one of the editor's biggest jobs and I might have managed this before and I've probably mentioned it several times throughout this training series.
One of the editor's biggest jobs is to manage media, to be organized, and to know where certain files are at all times. And you can't very well do that with a mess like this in your Project panel. So the first thing we're going to do is actually hit the Tilde key on your keyboard. That's again a little squiggle above the Tab key. That's going to maximize this panel. So we really don't care about anything else for the time being. You see the Project panel actually gives us tons of information. We're actually not even seeing that. We have a scrollbar here and we could scroll down and see all the different things that we could have access to as far as knowledge goes about this clip, which is really cool.
And actually these columns right here are sortable. So if we want to sort by media duration, maybe we have a bunch of little small clips and we have one major clip, we can click on Media Duration and now all these clips are sorted based on their media duration. You also might notice that some of these clips have different frame rates, 23.976 here and 29.97 here, again another 23.976 here. So we might want to click on Frame Rate to sort by frame rate. Now typically I sort by the name. So I'm just going to click on name here, and if you want to change the name of something, say for example cool bird.
That's not very descriptive. So I might click on this clip and then it becomes a text field that I can type in. So I might type B-roll_bird. So the naming convention matches what else is going on here. And I can just click in some blank area of the Project panel to accept that. Now what we really need to do here is categorize what is happening in the Project panel. The way that we do that is by going down at the bottom of Project panel and clicking the folder icon. Folders in the Project panel in Premiere Pro are referred to as bins.
This goes back to verbiage from the old film days where they used to collect spools of film in big bins. So we have this folder here called Bin and I'm going to call this audio and hit Enter. And so what we could do now is go ahead and click on the clips that are just speakers. That means they are only audio and we have two here. I'm going to drag and drop into that folder and chad piano, drag and drop into that folder. Then I'm going to create another folder that is called video. Now you notice that I had this other audio folder selected when I created this new bin and so that's actually created a bin inside of a bin, which is totally acceptable, but not what we want here.
So I'm going to drag this to the left of audio and then it will be aligned here. And so I'm going to now grab my video clips and actually I could click one at the top and then Shift+Click this one here to select all those at once. Just drag-and-drop those into the Video bin and yummy doughnuts. Let's not forget about yummy, yummy doughnuts. Create a new bin that is Sequences and again drag that to the left and drag Sequence 01 and 02 in here.
Drag the sequences, and finally in this case we have images or graphics, what have you. It really is up to you how you sort/organize your footage. You might choose to organize your clips based on scenes or by actors or however you choose to do it. If you making a documentary, you might choose to do it by locations or whatever else is going on in your world that can help you. What I typically do when I'm creating projects is to do it like this, to categorize by the different type of media, audio, video, sequences, and images.
And now ladies and gentlemen, I truthfully recognize that this is not the most exciting topic in the world. I doubt that this movie for you was an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride, but the concept is very, very important when you are editing. When people are starting out and they are new, often this is one of the things that they want to just skip over and forget about. But this really is the key to being a good editor, is learning how to manage your media well.
