Clive never liked taking the train. It was filthy and crowded and no matter what time of day it was, the people always smelled of morning breath. It literally felt like the train was where old, decrepit people went to spend their final hours on this plane. They took their sweet time moving up and down the steps, but he was forced to bare witness because his father wouldn't get him a car. He didn't ask for much, a car was the only thing he wanted. He liked to think of himself as a fairly respectable kid. Sure, he had his secrets, but who didn't. He wasn't a serial rapist, he didn't beat anyone up for fun, he didn't curse at his mother, he went to school. He even had a job. Yes, a job he had to lie to his parents about, but a job nonetheless. He was actively keeping himself off the streets and making money at the same time. They should be proud of him. Proud enough to get him a goddamn car. Clive rested his forehead against the metal bar of the seat he was currently occupying in the train cart. Two more stops until he could get off the wretched thing and crawl into his bed to die for the rest of the day. He waited idly as the train doors opened and closed for two more rounds, grimacing as more and more people filed in, filling in the gaps between the mingling bodies that already occupied the cart. As the subway operator mumbled the next stop into the microphone, his stop, he stood up quickly, muttering his pardons as he pushed his way through the bodies and outside of the cart onto the platform. He probably had lice now. There was almost always someone with lice on the train.

Kieran knew nothing of public transit in this form until he moved to America and took his first subway ride under New York City and it was so interesting that he couldn't be disgusted by it. The only underground system in the U.K was in London and the blonde had never been there, had no intention of going there, and so even that hadn't given him experience. The system in Chicago was different than the one in London and New York, though, as it wasn't a subway system but in fact a bunch of commuter trains which was even more confusing. It's not like Kieran was here to take them, though, and instead with his guitar slung over his back there was only one plan for the day - getting some money. The thing about the trains is how busy they were, how many people were there, that he could get a good pocketful of funds before heading off on his merry way. Kieran settled himself on the platform sort of half way to the main exit and spent a minute setting himself up before beginning to play some tunes. Playing guitar was something he had learned at a very young age, after much bothering to his parents, and it now turned into a prime way of making money. Dipping into some Kings of Leon, Kieran softly sang along as he strummed the tune, giving little nods to people as they tossed money into his guitar case.

There wasn't anything exciting about it. It was just a bunch of people crammed into a little box and they'd have to travel around through the stations to get to the boxes they needed to get to go wherever it is they needed to go. Every so often there would be a nice distraction whilst you're moving from place to place, just some poor soul showcasing their talents for a bit of spare change, like right ow. That was the only thing Clive liked about his means of travel, the entertainment. Some of them weren't good, but it was still nice to watch them so as to have something to think back on while waiting to get home. He followed the crowd further onto the platform, the sound of someone singing and playing guitar floating in from some isolated spot amidst all the chaos. Because that's really what it was. Clive tried peering through the crowd to find the source of the noise, stopping only once he he stumbled upon the little nook that the musician seemed to have made for himself somewhere off to the side. He watched as the male played and sang, recognizing him immediately, but instead of interrupting his mini show, Clive just stood there awkwardly, wondering if he should throw money in now or later or just wait to talk to him or. He didn't know, he didn't care. He just wanted to be there so he reached a hand into hi pocket, pulling out his wallet, opening it up, grabbing all of his cash and tossing it into Kieran's guitar case.

Kieran had come across a few other musicians in his days wandering around here trying to get him some pocket cash but half of them weren't very good and so they didn't get much. Not that he was really that full of himself or thought he was the best musician ever but at least he was able to play which is more than he could say for a lot of these people. Kieran saw out of the corner of his eye the pile of money fall into his case and immediately he rose his eyes to who tossed it and he gave the male a small smile before going back to his song. He was only going to be finishing it because, based on the pile that just got tossed at him, well, he wouldn't have to do very much panhandling for the rest of the day. After a minute he was at the end of the tune and he heard some applause from the people watching him and watched as some more money came his way and after the crowd started to dwindle away off to their normal days, Kieran looked into the case and started counting bills and came across the stack that male had given him. Looking up, the guy was still there.
"Are you sure about this?"
he asked, holding up the bills and looking at the other male curiously.
"I mean, most people don't give this much."

It was true, most of them did suck but at least they were trying to make money somehow. It was either that or starve on the street without putting in effort and that was no way to live. Clive liked to assume that everyone who belittled themselves in public that way did it because they had nothing else. Absolutely nothing else, which was sort of why he threw all that money in Kieran's case. He was probably only going to use it to buy pounds and pounds of chocolate anyway, so it was better off with flalwess blonde anyway. He stood still as the crowd dispersed, tucking his wallet back into his pocket, still watching Kieran all the while. He nodded in response, shrugging lightly.
"Yeah, I mean you deserve it. It's fine."
Clive was just a little bit shocked that he managed to run into the guy so soon after they spoke. Not that Kieran would recognize him. His fucking icon left a lot to the imagination. He stepped forward, his hands finding their way into his pocket because of a lack of much else to do.
"It's Clive, we spoke last night... or rather this morning. On the internet."

Kieran would hate himself if he were homeless and starving and doing nothing about it which is why he was determined to make a living for himself some way. If he could work in any other field then he would but it seemed like every job wanted a social security number, which he didn't have, or a permanent address or phone number or anything of the like. All he had was his laptop which came with email but not everyone likes to contact someone only by email and having an email address doesn't automatically mean you deserve to work somewhere. So, panhandling it on the street was really the only option for him and he was fine with that, even on days where he only got a couple of bucks but he did have a little stash in his suitcase of 'in case of emergency' money. He really just spent day by day on whatever he may need and then the next day he'd get more and so on. Permanent things really didn't exist to him and instead everything was only in the moment, his life was only in the moment.
"Well, alright. Thanks a lot,"
Kieran gave another smile and then went back to counting in his head, though his attention was taken away when the male spoke again and his eyes widened a little in the whole shock/registering such shock moment.
"Oh! Hey, man, hows it going?"

Five steps to secure your data center
Rutrell Yasin, Government Computer News, Friday, November 20, 2009
With the advent of cloud computing, rich Internet applications, service-oriented architectures and virtualization, data center operations are becoming more dynamic, with fluid boundaries. The shift toward a new computing environment adds layers of complexity that have broad implications for how information technology managers secure the components of a data center to protect data from malicious attack or compromise.

Interoperable clouds - DMTF White Paper
DMTF International, Wednesday, November 11, 2009
This white paper describes a snapshot of the work being done in the DMTF Open Cloud Standards Incubator, including use cases and reference architecture as they relate to the interfaces between a cloud service provider and a cloud service consumer. The goal of the Incubator is to define a set of architectural semantics that unify the interoperable management of enterprise and cloud computing. This paper summarizes the core use cases, reference architecture, and service lifecycle. These building blocks will be used to specify the cloud provider interfaces, data artifacts, and profiles to achieve interoperable management.

Residents from neighboring towns try to take a glimpse of a giant saltwater crocodile in its temporary cage at the remote village of Consuelo in Bunawan township, Agusan Del Sur province, southern Philippines, Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2011. The 6.1-meter (20-foot) saltwater crocodile, now named "Lolong," was captured last Saturday by villagers and veteran hunters in the creeks of the remote region. The crocodile, weighing 1,075 kilograms (2,370 pounds), was the biggest to be caught alive in the Philippines in recent years. Wildlife officials were trying to confirm whether it was the largest such catch in the world, said Theresa Mundita Lim of the government's Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau. (AP Photo)

Every time I tune in to the Olympic Games to watch those amazing athletes flying fearlessly down the mountainside in the downhill, soaring dangerously through the air in the Snowboard Cross and leaping effortlessly over the ice in a triple axel, I have the same recurring thought: Those people must be crazy!
Give me the safety of the family room, a soft couch with a recliner and a warm quilt, and I'll be sound asleep and cozy before you can say, "Vladimir Putin!"
But besides that, I think about what an honor it must be to earn a place on a team and represent your country in the Olympic Games.
I would love to be good enough at something--anything!--to win a place on the U.S. Olympics team. But I honestly can't think of a thing that I could do well enough (or could have ever done well enough) to even consider Olympic competition.
The downhill? Can't ski. Ice hockey? Can't skate. Ski jump? Well, I don't jump all that well ... and then there's that skiing thing again.
Oh, I know what you're thinking: An athletic guy like me must be good at some winter sport. Well, until they add drinking hot cocoa in the lodge in front of a big crackling fire to the list of Olympic sports, my chances for a winter gold look pretty slim.
I guess I just can't relate to all of those winter sports.
My skiing experience is limited to one three-day trip to Dodge Ridge when I was 13 years old. I didn't get off the bunny slope until the third day. And you know, I didn't see too many guys in the Men's Super G doing the "snow plow" through the slalom course the other night.
And when it comes to ice skating ... well, I can't "twizzle" anymore, and my "triple Salchow" sure isn't what it used to be. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not quite as good a skater as I am a skier. My first wife, Randee, would certainly have agreed with that.
We were still dating the last time I pulled on skates and put steel to ice. All the other couples were gliding gracefully, romantically around the rink. And there we were ... taking two or three choppy steps, then grasping for the rail to keep from crashing to the frozen floor.
We did finally get going, thanks to a push from behind by a friend, and we coasted arm in arm for about 20 or 30 feet down the rink. But as we slowed to a near stop, we knew we were in trouble as we prepared to propel ourselves again.
Randee was the first one to go down. She started to fall, and being the gallant date that I was, I attempted to catch her. Of course, gallantry didn't make me a better skater, and I was headed to the deck, too. And that's when gallantry gave way to survival. Screaming like a little girl, and in a desperate attempt for survival, I reached for my date to break my fall ... and I ripped the pierced earring right out of her lobe.
Of course, we both fell with a thud to the ice (though luckily, I managed to fall on top of her to break my fall). The earring, however, was lost forever in the icy slush on the rink, but thank goodness there was plenty of ice nearby to slow the bleeding.
So with skiing and skating events crossed off of my list of potential Olympic events, what else (besides maybe curling!) could I possibly qualify for?
"I've got it!" said my oldest son, Mike. "It's an event you've been preparing for your entire life."
What the heck was he talking about?
"It's the luge," he said.
"Right!" I protested.
"Sure you could--just look at how they do it," he explained, becoming a human visual aid by diving onto the couch and quickly rolling over on his back.
"They just lay there with their arms at their side," he said, locking the couch recliner back in position and striking the pose to show me just what he meant. "You do this all the time."
"You know there's a lot more to it than that," I said.
"Not really," he argued. "If you want to turn left, you just lean a little to the left ... just like you when you're reaching for the remote. And when you want to turn right, you just lean to the right ... like you when you're reaching for the candy dish."
"Sounds dangerous."
"Well, yeah," he said, adding with a chuckle, "just don't fall asleep."
"Very funny," I snapped. "Now pass that candy dish over here."

"Darling" in The American Poetry Review
From the September/October 2011 issue of The American Poetry Review.
The days fall out of your pockets one after the other.
Soon you'll need a new jacket with tougher leather
and seams no one has felt. Soon you'll bring
the old books into your bed and sleep easy
and alone. It must be December again.
This must be the part of the story where you
refuse to say how the bodies you've walked toward
continue walking in you. With heavy black boots
in a calm procession of darling and honey—
they walk up and down the narrow streets of your heart.

"Unknown," starring Liam Neeson, mixes the style of "Taken" with the plot of "The Bourne Identity", but it's worse.
Neeson plays Dr. Martin Harris. He is trying to go to a convention in Berlin, but winds up in a coma for four days after an accident. He wakes up remembering little things around the time of the crash, but when he finds his wife, nobody knows him and he doesn't have identification or proof to show who he really is.
As the movie progresses, he finds himself the victim of a conspiracy and tries to prove who he is once and for all.
"Unknown" starts off well, but as the film progresses, the story starts to dwindle and gets confusing.
This film could be called "Taken 2" because Neeson's bland acting and the cinematography are very similar to "Taken."
It easily could have been more interesting. The story at first was captivating, but as the conspiracy rolls along, the movie begins to lose its way. By the third act, it feels like it's making up stuff in an attempt to create a twist, but it never works.
The action is cool while it lasts. I like how there wasn't too much action taking over the film as it did in "Taken," but the dialogue is exactly like "Taken."
Neeson gets angry and frustrated and talks like he does in every movie he has been in. The acting is boring.
The film isn't terrible, but it certainly could have been better.

Sit down for a second,
Because I want to tell you something.
I want to tell you and everybody else that walked over me.
That today, I have become something!
Just walk with me for a second,
I want to show you something.
You remember this; is it all falling into place?
Cause this is where you shut me down.
Now I didn't know what I was supposed to do;
Excuse me for being a loser, right?
I had to work up a lot of courage to ask you out.
But you didn't even look at anything beneath the surface.
So of course, you just flipped me off and walked away.
Thank you.
Because of you I went to the gym every single day.
Because of you I started lifting iron over my head.
And you know what it feels pretty damn good to be getting my pump.
Yeah, that's something that you did for me!
And now, over to my phone,
Let's call up Michael.
'ey Michael,
What up man?
You remember me?
Yeah, I'm the guy who could never fit in!
That kid who wasn't a part of your little writer's club.
What was it that you said to me?
Oh yeah, let me give it to you in the accent:
"Dear sir, we regret to inform you that we do not take individuals,
Who have unfortunately shown themselves to be sub-par in the English language.
Please try again after you've attended an actual English course."
Damn man, that was harsh.
But you know what?
Thank you.
Because of you, my art became something.
Let me just level with you for a second.
I practised nearly four or five hours a day.
And yeah, my English was bad.
I didn't have the benefit of an elite 'edjumacation' like you did.
But I practised.
Day and night, I worked so hard that I was losing sleep.
Be it sick, tired, whatever; I made my words come to life.
I can't recall how many times, I flipped through a dictionary,
Searched on-line; desperately trying to learn some new words and phrases.
And you know what?
I'm the one who's finally doing it!
I'm doing all the things that you dreamed of doing;
I'm doing all the things which you always talked about doing.
But it's all the things that you ain't never going to be doing.
So my last message,
Is to all those people out there.
To all the people whom they said:
"Can't do it, never going to do it; never will do it."
I want you all to place a hand over your hearts and repeat after me.
I will never be an incredible individual,
But that ain't bad.
I may not be the best individual,
But I could be good.
I don't need a shining medal,
I don't need my name on a roll of honour.
Because I will earn my own medal.
I will earn my place in the history books.
History is going to remember me,
As the one guy, that one girl,
Who worked so damn hard at what they did,
That one day, they finally made it.
Because those people,
Who are crazy enough to dream;
Who are crazy enough to think that they can change this world,
Are often the ones that do.
And that's what I want you all to remember,
Because at end of the day.
Only you can write the ending to your own story.
And mine, I'm hoping, is going to be pretty bad ass.

I have been several weekends trying to go to Automat, the reason is they have a special brunch burger but only on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to four. I finally got the chance and decided to give it a try, after my last two burgers expectations have been raising, I got back to back home runs with Albannach and The Cuban so with a new pitcher and bases loaded our clean up hitter was ready to take his turn at the plate.
The place is a posh/trendy American brasserie, music from the 60's and 70's, relaxed and stylish atmosphere, and as they defined themselves New York's inimitable style. The Automat Brunch Burger is a 10 oz with bacon, eggs, sausage, and cheese.
The verdict, just amazing as expected, beautiful flavour, the beef is Nebraskan corn fed, big portion, chips were crunchy cut in dices and add herbs, everything was spot on. The hitter smashed the ball, and is going, going, gone, Grand Slam.
The damage, 22 quids for the burger, fries, and a beer.
The conclusion, definitely the best one so far, I can't explain how good it was, you have to go and try it. They deserve an 9 in my scale.
This was similar to the Seinfeld episode "The Wink" where Kramer promises a sick boy (Bobby) that Paul O'Neill will hit two homers in the game for him but Bobby has to give back to Kramer a birthday card signed by the entire Yankee organization.
TV: Bottom of the eighth, score tied at one apiece. Two and one to Paul O'Neill.
Kramer: You know Bobby, it's very very hard to hit two home runs in one game. Even for Paul O'Neill.
Bobby: He can do it, Mr. Kramer. I know he can. He'll do it for me.
TV: Long fly ball into deep left field over Bell's head, O'Neill's rounding second, O'Neill going for third, O'Neill rounding.
Kramer: Come on Come on!
TV: Third being waived in.
Kramer: GO! GO!!
TV: Martinez throws it over Alomar's head. O'Neill is safe at home. And the Yankees take the lead.
Kramer: An in the park Home Run!
Bobby: Yeay!
Kramer: All Right! Yeah, well, I guess I'll be on my way.
TV: That's being scored a triple for Paul O'Neill with a throwing error charged to Martinez.
Bobby: Hey!
Kramer: Huh?
Bobby: That's not a home run.
Kramer: Yeah, maybe not technically, but...
Bobby: You said he'd hit two home runs.
Kramer: Oh, come on. Bobby, Bobby! That's just as good!
Bobby: Well, you're not taking that card.
Kramer: Now, Bobby, Bobby, we had a deal, gimme that.

text: Just wanted to share with the two to three of you out there that might care. After 9 years of haunting, the UCP Fright Factory of Tuscaloosa, Alabama was unable to secure a property for the 2007 season. We just got word that we have a new propety for the upcoming season and we are excited!! Last fall was a nice break and I was able to visit several really great haunted attractions here in the southeast. I never thanked all the great people so here. We made our annual trip to Atrox Factory( they kick ass top 13 haunt judges, Paul and the guys put alot into that place), swung by and visited Ben and Billy at Netherword( we go there every year, too...always an awesome show), ran up to Spookywoods(spent alot of time talking to Tony and some of his crew, really nice people, answered all our questions, had a blast there, what a HUGE venue), ran up to see Cliff at Hacker House(that is an awesome haunt, lots of great actors, really cool original props and animatronics) and then headed home to rest. With so much free time( it sucks to not have a haunted house in October when you are so used to doing it) we took off for Louisiana to check out the 13th Gate. Wow is all I could say. I wanted to try to speak to the owner but it was packed out and we had other places to be so off to Covington we went to check out the Scream Factory. I had alot of fun in there, they reminded me of our own show actually. Last but not least we decided to run up to North Alabama to check out some new show called Graystone Manor. It was awesome! While there we got to meet and talk to Shane, who is funny as hell in person. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for answering our questions and to let you know that we really enjoyed visiting with all of you.

"I love my cards they turned out great!! The only thing I would have changed would have been the colors I didn't edit my pictures before sending them to print, I think the color was not as sharp as I would have wanted them to be but besides that they turned out perfect!!"
"The cards were even nicer than I expected. The paper and photo quality were excellent. The envelopes were a nice weight, too. I would definitely order again. I also ordered a Thanksgiving card, which was perfect, too."
"Loved how the Christmas card turned out. The pictures were clear and fonts were evenly spaced on the card. The overall layout was perfect. Thank you designers for reviewing and giving the final touches to my card."
"I absolutely Loved these cards! We ordered from Minted last yr and wasn't thrilled about the quality so we decided to try TP. The image was very clear and I love the paper it was printed on(semi gloss). It looked more expensive than what we paid for it. I would highly recommend these!"
"Best card we have had in 4 years. I have used other sites to receive our cards looking very small (compared to their advertisement). The thickness of the paper is wonderful and we received all our envelopes!! The order arrived ahead of time and I feel they valued my business. I look forward to using them again next year."

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The ancestors of the name Huff date back to the days of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from their residence near a hill or steep ridge of land. The surname Huff is usually derived from the Old English word hoh, which means heel or projecting ridge of land. However, it is sometimes derived from the Old Norse word haugr, which means mound or hill. Furthermore, the name Huff may be derived from residence in one of a variety of similarly named places: Hoe is in Norfolk; Hoo is in Kent; places called Hooe are in Devon and Sussex; Hose is in Leicestershire; places named Heugh are in Durham and Northumberland; and settlements called Hough are found in both Cheshire and Derby.
The surname Huff was first found in Cheshire at Hough, a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East which dates back to the 13th century when it was first listed as Hoh c. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4)
Huff has been spelled many different ways, including Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Hough, Huff, Houfe, Hoff, Hoffe and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Huff research. Another 135 words (10 lines of text) covering the years 1651, 1743, 1699, 1717, 1681 and 1687 are included under the topic Early Huff History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Another 35 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Huff Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Some of the Huff family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 39 words (3 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Huffs to arrive on North American shores:
Huff Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Huff Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Huff Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Huff Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Huff Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century

Defense officials have warned the cuts would hamper efforts to reach the president's goal of intercepting 40 percent of the illicit drug shipments flowing into the region by 2015.
U.S. officials, for instance, cannot venture into Mexican waters without prior permission and will stop a chase and alert Mexican authorities if suspected boats cross into that territory.

USA, 2010, 115 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Documentary, Music, SpiritualLanguage: English
Exclusive Denver FilmCenter Engagement must end July 28th
35mm presentation - REJOICE AND SHOUT traces the evolution of Gospel through its many musical styles – the spirituals and early hymns, the four-part harmony-based quartets, the integration of blues and swing into Gospel, the emergence of Soul, and the blending of Rap and Hip Hop elements. Gospel music also walked in step with the story of African-American culture - slavery, hardscrabble rural existence and plantation work, the exodus to major cities, the Depression, World War II, civil rights and empowerment. REJOICE AND SHOUT connects the history of African-American culture with Gospel as it first impacted popular culture at large. Years in the making, REJOICE AND SHOUT captures so much of what is special about this music and African-American Christianity – the sermonizing, the heartfelt testimonials, getting slain in the spirit, the hard hollering, and of course the inspiring music.

This is the first in a series of three blog posts about longleaf pine in the South. We'll try to answer why longleaf? We'll talk to landowners who are restoring longleaf on their property, and we'll learn about the resources available to landowners who wish to make the switch.
Southern pines as they greeted the first European explorers were described as "the most stately pine trees that can be imagined, planted by nature at a moderate distance. . . enameled with a variety of flowering shrubs." Yet today there are problems in America's Southern pine forests that can feel overwhelming. Here's a brief list of the maladies that afflict Southern pines:
Thank you for spreading the word about longleaf regeneration. With each longleaf stand comes a personal story that often stretches across generations. My husband's family homesteaded in Covington County, a stone's throw away from the Longleaf Alliance. We are very grateful for the work of the Alliance and landowners like Dr. Saloom whom, I believe, you will be featuring next week.

Enemas for constipation treatment has been used since ancient time, this medical technique allow to introducing certain liquid solutions into the colon through the rectum. The main goal of enema is to soften the stool, expand the lower intestinal tract, trigger the peristalsis contraction, and alleviate a chronic constipation.
As an alternative therapy, it commonly recommended by health practitioner when oral laxatives and dietary changes have already been tried and gives no result. When it's done correctly, it can be an effective and quickest relief from severe constipation and kill parasite inside the colon. Base on its solutions, enemas for constipation can be categorized into several types:
1. Saline solution enemas. In this treatment, a saline solution made from lukewarm distilled water and certain amount of table salt, introduced into colon using certain equipment such as enema bag and enema tube. All those equipment and other components can easily be purchased at a pharmacy.
2. Mineral oil enema. By inserting medical grade mineral oil into the lower digestive tract through rectum, this treatment will lubricates the colon wall so the impacted stool can easily be passed. To perform this procedure often the mineral oil is mixed with certain amount of lukewarm filtered water.
3. Fleet's phosphosoda enema. This pre-made enema kit contains sodium phosphate. Since it categorized as medical procedure, performing Fleet enema for constipation must be done in the precise procedure and dosage. As a kit, it also comes in its own disposable enema nozzle and squeeze bag.
4. Homemade enemas. There are some of alternative medicine therapists that recommend certain homemade enemas recipes such as coffee, lemon juice, glycerin, vinegar, salt and soda, milk, and yoghurt enemas. Please note that all those homemade enemas may not have scientific foundation, so it would be better to check with a certified health practitioner before inserting certain solution into your colon.
Enemas for constipation side effects
As stated above, these enemas for constipation should be performed carefully. All procedure and dosage should strictly follow expert or packaging instruction. When you perform this enema, apply a medical grade lubricant into the nozzle. Experts warn to not use this enema on a regular basis, as it can disrupt water and electrolyte balance inside your body.
Those people with certain health conditions such as Chron's disease, severe haemorrhoids, diverculitis, certain allergies, and cancer should avoid the procedure. Meet a doctor or certified health practitioner before perform this procedure.

Future Wonders?
When it is finished I think the Crazy Horse Monument in South Dakota might someday qualify as a wonder of the world due its history and the sheer will of Korczak Ziolkowski who started it. (He would go up alone with a shovel, pick-ax and wheelbarrow everyday to work on it.) It's so large, a bulldozer can be driven out onto what will be the pointing finger shown in the scale model in the foreground of the picture.

Source- JoystiqAccording to a report this morning, OnLive is launching a subscription-based movie streaming service on an undisclosed date in 2011. The news comes from the Wall Street Journal (subscription required), who cites growing concern among media companies that Netflix has grown too large on its own and diversification is desired (read: they want a piece of the large, money-filled pie as well).
In other OnLive news, the streaming-only company released its first iPhone app today (creatively dubbed "OnLive Viewer"). The application allows user to see what's available for instant streaming (on a computer, not on your phone), see other players' "brag clips," and watch trailers. Though the app has an official page on Apple.com, we're having some issues downloading it at the moment, but that could just be release hiccups.

I cannot believe it has been a year since the launch of The Leafseeker! Well, I am truly excited and to celebrate the launch of this second blogging year I'm jumping right into preparing plans for researching the soon to be released 1940 U.S. Population Census Schedule on April 2, 2012.
Planning Your Research
The release of the 1940 Census is monumental being the first population census schedule released digitally for public access. Unlike microfilmed census roll releases of the recent past, you will not be standing in line at the library's microfilm reader waiting for your to scroll through census data. Instead you will be at home in your PJs waiting for the images to stream to your desktop.
The Release
When preparing for the 1940 census the National Archives (NARA) should be the first stop on your research plan trip. The NARA 1940 Census Records webpage is dedicated to providing information on the 1940 Census, what data it contains, and how you can access its information.
NARA will have their facilities available for access immediately. Online databases noted below will first receive the images then provide them for online access as soon as they can update their websites. Technology is wonderful!
Okay, now take a deep breath: The 1940 Census has no index. NO INDEX! So you will need to be prepared for researching between the time the images are released and until database sites have them transcribed into a searchable index.
- Grab your compiled family information and note the residences of your family
- Revisit the 1930 Census and note the Enumeration District (ED) of each family member's census sheet.
- Make use of maps, district maps, ward maps, and city directories to assist in moving families and adult children who may have moved from the family home.
To use the new census images, you will need to begin with a known geographic location and/or the Enumeration area. This will assist you in finding the correct census sheet that holds your family's 1940 residence. Once located you keep track of your research findings by using a fill-in template or a printable template of the census.
The Data Questions
On April 1, 1940 the government's authorized census takers were armed with forms to record the locations and personal information of approximately 132,164,569 U.S. citizens. The questions contained on this census form are similar to previously released population schedules but with the addition of a few new ones. Of the new questions several note answers regarding possible participation in projects of the New Deal i.e. Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC), Works Project Administration (WPA), or National Youth Administration (NYA); education level, as well as amount of earnings. Of the most interesting questions asked was the where the individual lived in 1935. This bit of data will likely aid genealogists tremendously when following traveling family members. See the full list of questions asked by census takers.
Additional Resources and Access
Online database websites are also preparing for the onslaught of visitors eager to access the 1940 Census digitized images on April 2nd. Currently enlisting employed and volunteer transcribers, these sites will aim to provide access to the images and their data in record time than any previously indexed census schedules.
The FamilySearch.org's website page regarding the 1940 Census will get you up and running on the release details in their collection. They are also requesting for volunteers to assist in indexing the new census.
Ancestry.com's section for the 1940 U.S. Census will keep subscribers updated on their census doings once the census is received into their collection.
Archives.com will provide free access to the census images and shortly after plan to build a searchable index.
Once the 72-year privacy restriction of the 1940 Census is lifted on April 2nd, I hope you are prepared for the intensive research this new resource is likely to spark! Just 53 days to go!
Happy leaf'n!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 email@example.com (Carson City, NV; March 19, 2014) – Secretary of State Ross Miller is seeking volunteers to write the arguments advocating and opposing The Education Initiative ballot question that will appear on the 2014 General Election ballot. Pursuant to NRS 293.252, two committees of no more than three members each will be appointed for each ballot question.

Members of the committee serve without compensation. Interested citizens are required to submit a form indicating their interest. The form is available at www.nvsos.gov or by clicking here. It can also be obtained by contacting the Secretary of State's Elections Division at (775) 684-5705 or via email at email@example.com.

The deadline for citizens to submit an interest form to the Secretary of State's office is 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 2, 2014. The Secretary of State's office will announce the names of the committee members on April 7.

Read an Excerpt
Squeaking sneakers and the hustle and flow of the basketball players across the gymnasium floor charged me as I waved my arms, signaling I was open so my teammate could pass me the ball.
She bounced it to me, and I snatched it before focusing on the goal and sinking it in for three points. Nothing but net.
It was the final game of the summer basketball league's season, and I was giving it my all. Since deciding at the end of my junior year to give up my spot as cheer-leading cocaptain to play ball, I had thrown myself into each game. I had learned a lot over the summer, both about basketball and myself, and I was looking forward to my senior year, which was only a few weeks away.
Coach Miller called a time-out with only three minutes left in the game, and I jogged off the court, glancing up into the stands when I heard my dad yell, "Go, Courtland."
He had been at all my games along with my mom, my nine-year-old sister Cory, my best friend, Sabrina Davis, and a few members of my purity group, Worth the Wait. Knowing I had so much support had me feeling better than I had in all my seventeen years.
Coach went over our final play, then my teammates and I gathered in a huddle, pumping each other up before we went back to the court and played to win. When it was all over, we'd lost by one point, but I was grinning like we had won the NBA championship.
I guzzled down a cup of Gatorade before going to congratulate the other team. As I was heading to the locker room, one of our opponents stopped me.
"Aren't you that girl who pressed charges against Allen Benson?" she asked, squinting at me from behind a pair of sports goggles.
I groaned inwardly. It had been a couple of days since someone had last asked me about Allen, my ex-boyfriend who was rumored to be joining a pro basketball team at the end of last school year.
Allen was fine and charming. He was my first boyfriend, and I loved him. I thought he loved me, too—until I snuck out to meet him one night. Not only had he tried to force himself on me, but he had also admitted he'd started dating me so he could get me to sleep with him to win a ten-dollar bet that he'd be the one to make me lose my virginity.
He had done a lot of messed-up things while we were together—putting his hands on me, and fooling around with other girls, one of whom was also pressing charges. I'm not sure who the girl was, but it was rumored that she was from a political family.
It wasn't until after my aunt Loretta Danielle Dennis ended up in the hospital that I learned he'd been seeing her, too. She claimed she was pregnant by him, and he'd gotten so mad during their argument that he'd run over her with his car. Allen claimed it was an accident, but I saw the video my sister, Cory, had managed to shoot that night, and I believe it was intentional.
I finally decided to press charges against Allen for what he had done to me after my little sister, Cory, witnessed what he did to Aunt Dani. I felt as though I had to set a good example for Cory and not let Allen get away with what he'd tried to do to me, but I had changed my mind about a month ago. I just wanted to move on with my life.
My charges had been the least of Allen's worries. He was also being investigated by the NBA for accusations he'd accepted gifts from two coaches.
"Well, are you?" the girl repeated, using a forearm to wipe a trail of sweat from her forehead. I briefly wondered why she was sweating so much since she had been riding the bench the whole game.
A couple of her teammates gathered around waiting to hear my answer. I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could, Daddy rushed over and wrapped me in a bear hug.
"Good job, Courtland. I'm proud of you," he said.
He slung his arm around my shoulders and led me away from the girls, and I smiled. Mostly I was glad he had rescued me, but I also had to admit that it felt good to get a hug from my daddy and hear he was proud. It had been a while since he had done it, but it was starting to happen more often.
"You okay?" he whispered as we walked over to where Momma and Cory were waiting.
"Yes," I said. "Thanks for saving me."
Daddy and I had come a long way in the last few months—our whole family had. Daddy had finally admitted he was an alcoholic, and he was attending AA meetings every week. He was going to church with us, and he and Momma, who had never gotten married, were planning a big wedding for the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, the weekend before school started. Momma was so excited she was getting the wedding of which she had always dreamed, and so was I.
"You hungry?" Momma asked after congratulating me on a good game.
"Yep," I said before turning to my little sister. "Hey, munchkin."
"Hey," she said, frowning at my use of the nickname she now hated. "Can we go to Applebee's?"
"You're reading my mind," I said, already tasting the steak and shrimp parmesan and blondie dessert I was going to order.
"We'll walk over. I snuck out during the game and put our names on the waiting list. They'll probably be calling us soon," Momma said. "You can head over once you get dressed."
Our game was at Fair Park Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, and we'd had a nice turnout. I knew a lot of people were probably going to be headed to Applebee's, which was right across the street, so I was glad Momma had thought ahead.
"Do you want me to wait for you?" Daddy asked, looking worried as he glanced around the almost empty arena.
"I'll be fine," I said. I tried to be casual about looking around to see if the girls who had asked me about Allen were still there, but Momma busted me.
"You sure?" she asked.
"You're treating her like a baby," Cory said, and I smiled my thanks.
They all watched me head toward the locker room to make sure I got there safely, then I watched them walk over to one of Daddy's police-officer friends.
I didn't hear what Daddy was saying, but I was sure he was telling him to keep an eye on me.
I was in and out of the locker room in fifteen minutes. As I headed for the exit, a girl waddling past caught my attention.
"Emily?" I said.
Emily Arrington was a cheerleader for our rivals, the Baldwin Eagles. She had also come to a few Worth the Wait meetings, but that had been months ago. She was a white girl, but she had plenty of booty, and she didn't mind shaking it.
My eyes widened when she turned around. I was pretty sure that wasn't a basketball she was sporting under her shirt.
"Hey, Courtland," she said, sounding tired. She rubbed her stomach, and I found myself feeling sorry for her.
"How are you?" I asked. I thought about saying congratulations, but I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to say to an unwed mother. I glanced at her ring finger to make sure she hadn't gotten married since the last time I saw her, but it was bare, and it looked like there had never been a ring on it.
"Sick all the time," she said. "Every time I turn around I'm throwing up."
I nodded sympathetically. "When are you due?" I asked.
"October 25," she said.
I calculated and realized she was about six months pregnant, which meant she'd been pregnant at the last Worth the Wait meeting she'd attended. She had been talking all this craziness about having a baby before she got married so she'd be able to hold on to the guy forever. I guess she had gotten her wish.
I adjusted my gym bag, trying to think of something else to say.
"How are things with Worth the Wait?" she asked.
"Good." I filled her in on the purity conference, which would end with a ball we were planning for the spring. Fathers and daughters were both going to take an oath, promising to be pure in thought and deed. Our Worth the Wait adviser, Andrea Mitchell, had read about the ball online, and most of our members loved the idea. It would give us a chance to dress up and have some fun.
After I was elected president of our chapter, I had come up with the idea to do an entire conference, hoping we would get some new members.
A cell phone rang, and Emily and I each glanced at ours, which meant we both had Beyoncé's latest hit as our ring tone.
A big smile broke across Emily's face, and she snapped open her phone.
"Hey, baby," she said, sounding like a contented cat. She talked for a few minutes, and I figured it was the perfect chance for me to get away and meet up with my family. I had just put one foot out the door when Emily's words stopped me. "I'll see you later tonight. I love you, Allen."
I couldn't even enjoy my steak and shrimp parmesan at Applebee's because I was so busy thinking about Allen and Emily.
There were a million questions racing through my mind. Was Emily really talking to Allen—my Allen? That raised the question of whether he ever really was mine.
If she was talking to Allen Benson, was she carrying his baby? I thought back to what had happened last school year. It was rumored a girl who had accused Allen of rape was pregnant. Was Emily that girl? If so, why would she start seeing him?
I finally decided to get a to-go box for my food.
"You okay?" Momma asked, looking at me strangely when I turned down dessert.
I nodded and took a sip of my watery soda.
"I didn't get a chance to tell you that someone from the Harbert Center called and said there was a cancellation, so we have it for the reception." Momma looked as though she was about to bounce out of her seat in the booth, she was so excited.
"That's great, Momma," I said, mustering a smile.
She pulled a notebook from her purse and jotted something down. "I'm glad the summer basketball season is over. I'm going to need your help. We only have about a month left before the wedding, and we still haven't picked out your dress."
"We can go tomorrow," I said without really thinking. Cory stopped playing with her Game Boy long enough to kick me under the table. I had promised her I would hang out with her the next day. I had been so busy with practices and games all summer that I really hadn't spent much time with my little sister, which I had been trying to do more of.
I looked at her, silently telling her I was sorry.
"We can make it a girls-only day," Momma said then turned to look at Daddy. "You have to work tomorrow, right, Corwin?"
"Yes," Daddy said, his gaze never leaving ESPN, which was playing on the television in the bar.
"We can be at David's Bridal when it opens," Momma said.
I groaned to myself. That meant that I wouldn't be sleeping late, and since Momma was in total wedding mode, we probably wouldn't get home until late the next evening. So much for a relaxing Saturday.
I didn't sleep well that night, thinking about Allen and Emily. As much as I tried to tell myself not to be bothered by it, I was. I knew he had been cheating on me, but I was still finding it hard to believe he was doing it with people right under my nose. Emily was bad enough, but my aunt Dani was worse. She had told Allen she was pregnant, too, but it turned out she was lying.
I found myself thinking back on all the time Allen and I had spent together. I mean, we were always together, but for him it had all been a joke. I couldn't believe he had been faking his feelings for me, all for a lousy ten dollars.
I woke up the next morning in a bad mood, and the last thing I wanted to do was spend the day looking at bridesmaids' dresses and talking about weddings. I threw on some jeans, a Worth the Wait T-shirt and my Air Force Ones and headed down for breakfast. Momma was in a really good mood and had cooked all Daddy's favorites: sausages, home fries, cheese eggs and pancakes. I helped myself to a little of everything, making a mental note I needed to start cutting back since the basketball season was over. I was planning to try out for the school basketball team, but until then, I really wasn't going to be exercising as much since I had quit the cheerleading squad. The last thing I wanted to do was put back on the twenty pounds I had taken off the summer before freshman year.

15 Years Ago . . .
I had the experience of listing my own home with a Realtor for the first time. I was delighted to find someone who made the whole transition easier for me, by helping with paperwork, paying attention to detail and being sincerely concerned about my time schedule. That person worked diligently at marketing my home to the right people.
(continued in next paragraph below)
Through this experience I realized that real estate would be a profession that would suit my personality. I strive to maintain these and other important values of a true Professional.
East Central Michigan is a great area to live and work.

MIDDLEBOURNE - A Tyler County man recently graduated 50 years after leaving high school for military service.
"It's something I never thought would happen," said 65-year-old Roger Post, of Middlebourne, on finally receiving his high school diploma almost 50 years after leaving school to join the war effort in Vietnam. "It took me 50 years, but I got it!"
Post was among 38 graduates of Valley High School who donned their caps and gowns for commencement on May 24 as an honorary graduate.
"We were so proud ... he was so proud ... it was wonderful," said his wife Cathy. "The graduates, the teachers, coaches, alumni, former classmates and just everybody was so kind to him, and so appreciative for his military service. All I can say is that it was a wonderful experience."
Roger Dale Post was in the first freshman class to attend the newly consolidated Valley High School in Pine Grove, when just two weeks after turning 17, he left his carefree school days behind him and enlisted in the United States Navy.
He went from boot camp in Great Lakes, Ill., to signalman school in Rhode Island. For the next four years, he was aboard the aircraft carrier the USS Randolph, CV 15, stationed in Norfolk, Va. He sailed the Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans, taking the time to earn his GED.
Upon his return home, he was hired at Union Carbide, retiring after 34 years as a first line supervisor.
Post and wife Cathy Darlene Reed will soon celebrate 33 years of marriage. Of their four children, Rhonda, Richie, Jason and Amanda, the two boys followed their father into the Navy.
He is the grandfather of one grandson, two granddaughters and the great-grandfather of one great-granddaughter.
Post never forgot his military roots. He holds the office of adjutant of the Sistersville American Legion Post 67, is a member of the American Legion Riders and the Patriot Guard. He serves as an escort for United States Warriors killed in action as well as services for all veterans in all wars. He is a past member of the Honor Guard and Color Guard of Post 67 and the Sistersville VFW.

Markus Granlund and Rocco Grimaldi played standout hockey at the Five Nations and we expect more at the World Championship.
The Five Nations under-18 tournament may not be one of the mainstream international events that receives the attention or coverage other international tournaments do, but it is a yearly tradition for most scouts to travel to Europe to evaluate players at the event.

The head scout for ISS explains how numbers can sometimes get in the way of properly projecting the NHL's future stars.
The re-emergence of statistical superstars at the NHL level and the increasing popularity of fantasy sports has developed a tendency for people to put too much emphasis on the statistics that young players put up as they head towards being drafted.

With the world juniors behind us, ISS scout Ross MacLean points out the undrafted players who stood out the most.
After another dramatic chapter in the rivalry between Canada and Russia closed out the 2011 world juniors, I thought it would be appropriate to go back over the tournament and discuss some of the notable players, as well as how the performance of a few prospects will affect the draft order.
by Ross MacLean - January 5, 2011 2:15 PM UTC
Even though Finland was without Mikael Granlund, the team still looked good, led by another mid-round Detroit draft gem.
This year's World Junior Championship has really illustrated just how quickly things can turn around during short-term competitions. Nowhere was that more evident than with the Russian team's dramatic upset win over Finland in the quarterfinal.

Ross MacLean of ISS gives you a rundown of players to keep your eye on as the tournament progresses, complete with specific skills to watch.
With the WJC now in full swing and having had the opportunity to see each team play, there are a few things that have jumped out and some things to pay attention to from each team.
by Ross MacLean - December 7, 2010 12:00 PM UTC
Offense-minded defensemen are changing the way coaches attack a game, but is this a blip, or the future of the game?
There seem to be conflicting preferences at almost every level of hockey right now when it comes to the role of the defenseman. Offensive defenders have long basked in a glory that rarely touches even the best of the defensive defenders save for, say, the occasional big hitter or intimidating and mean tough-guy types.
