With school beginning in just a few days for two Washington County districts, it's the time of year that can be filled with anxiety, hopes and fears-especially for first-time students and those transitioning to new schools.
Alicen Teer, 11, of Marietta, said she's anxious about moving to Marietta Middle School this fall. Last year she was a fifth-grader at Phillips Elementary.
"I'm kind of nervous," she said. "It's a bigger school and I'm afraid I'll get lost."

Vanessa Binegar, 6, stands Wednesday outside Washington Elementary School with her mother, Rebecca Merrill, 35, of Marietta. The girl was home schooled last year but will be starting first grade at the school when classes resume Aug. 24.
That's a typical reaction, said Karen Waller, a guidance counselor for Belpre City Schools.
"Transitions to new schools can be one of the most difficult times for students," she said. "There are social pressures, fears of not fitting in or belonging and academic expectations."
Classes in the Belpre and Fort Frye districts resume Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, while students report back Aug. 24 to Frontier, Wolf Creek and Marietta Schools and Aug. 25 to Warren schools.

How to make the first day easier
Remind your child that he or she is not the only student who is a bit uneasy about the first day of school. Teachers know that students are anxious and will make an extra effort to make sure everyone feels as comfortable as possible.
Start getting back into a bedtime and morning routine at least a week before the start of school.
Get up a little early on the first day of classes so there isn't a rush, which can add to first day jitters.
Point out the positive aspects of starting school: It will be fun. They will see old friends and meet new ones. Refresh the positive memories about previous years, when your student may have returned home after a first day in preschool or a camp in high spirits because he or she had a good time.
Find another child in the neighborhood with whom your youngster can walk to school or ride with on the bus.
If you feel it is appropriate, drive your child (or walk with him or her) to school on the first day.

Waller said parents can help ease some anxiety by taking their children for a school visit in advance of the start of the school year.
"There are always fears of getting lost or that teachers will be mean and not like them," she said. "Most schools welcome students to come in for a tour and meet their teachers. Taking advantage of those kinds of things can really ease a lot of first day fears."
Rebecca Merrill, 35, of Marietta, took her daughter, Vanessa Binegar, 6, for a tour of Washington Elementary School on Wednesday. The girl was home-schooled last year but is set to start first grade at the school when classes in Marietta resume Aug. 24.
"I'm not as nervous as I probably should be," Merrill said. "She's been in a preschool setting and did really well ... I decided to home school last year because I didn't want her to be held back just because of her age. She missed the cutoff date by just one day. I guess it isn't uncommon for kids to start at (age) 6, but I felt she was ready."
Waller said for younger students, it's usually the parents who are more worried than the students.
"Younger kids may come in scared but after they look around a bit and connect with a teacher or another student they're completely different kids, usually within 20 minutes," she said. "Younger kids adjust pretty quickly."
To help reduce anxiety, especially with younger children, Waller suggested parents get their students back on a bedtime and morning routine at least a week before the start of classes. Also, she said everyone should try to get up early on the first day so no one feels rushed.
With a new pink Barbie backpack ready to go, Binegar said she's excited about the start of school. She said that's because her older sister, Marissa, 8, also attends Washington Elementary.
"She's going to walk me to my classroom," Vanessa said. "And I'm going to like the part when you get to go outside to play. I might be able to find Marissa."
Tiffany Robinson, 25, of Lowell, said she's nervous for her 4 1/2-year-old daughter, Breaunna, who is starting kindergarten this fall.
"I'm a little worried. She's usually attached to my leg or right at my side," she said. "I don't know how she's going to do."
Robinson also expressed hope that her daughter will follow directions a little better in a classroom setting.
"I worry about her listening and paying attention," she said. "I want her to do well and succeed but right now I'm having a hard time getting her to listen or do what she's told."
Breaunna seemed excited about back to school shopping.
"I want a blue Dora (the Explorer) backpack," she said.
The girl's mother said a new backpack is in the works.
"That's all she talks about," she said. "She really wants that backpack."
Waller said the tougher transitions are for new middle school and high school students.
"There's more pressure to fit in and belong," she said. "A lot of kids worry they're going to stand out or be different."
Waller said she generally suggests students join sports teams, organizations or service clubs that surround them with other students with similar interests.
"Students should always assume they're going to have to approach other people to make new friends," she said.
Teer, starting at Marietta Middle School soon, said her older brothers and some friends who have already been through the transition have given her some advice in recent weeks.
"They've all told me I'll be fine but that some teachers are a little more strict than others," she said. "My first day plans are to make a good impression, learn where my classes are and meet some new people."
Haley Brookover, 10, of Marietta, said she's also nervous about her first year at the middle school. She'll be one of the youngest students there after skipping ahead a year in elementary school.
"I just don't want to be called a nerd," she said.
After finding her locker and the best routes to her classes, Brookover said there's really only one thing left to do: "Socialize."
"There will be a lot of new kids from other schools. I think it should be fun," she said.
Waller said the transition from middle school to high school is often the most difficult transition for students.
"Elementary and middle school students are more managed by adults," she said. "By the time students reach high school, there's an assumption they are more independent and on a course track. There are also increased social pressures."
Waller said some students struggle more than others.
"To calm fears, students should think back to who they can depend on-'Who were my friends before?'" Waller said. "Also, they should be looking into what contacts they can make before the start of the school year and know that everyone is feeling the same way."
Lauren Martin, 14, of Marietta, is set to transition this fall from Marietta Middle School to life as a freshman at Marietta High School.
"I'm excited because I'm moving up but my fears are of getting lost in a big school and how I'll be accepted by other students and upper classes," she said.

We let him out at around 9am and I walked the dog about 10 minutes later. When I got back and was near the house, I could hear this loud meowing. I looked for the source and found him sprawled under a bush. He wasn't laying right - his back legs looked funny - so I called my wife right away. She came out and had a look and I took the dog in. We got into the car and took him straight to the vets where he had three X-rays, and they revealed that his spine had been crushed and his pelvis was broken. He was in a lot of pain, would never be able to walk again and wouldn't be able to have any quality of life. They recommended that he be put down.
He was such a lovely little kitten. He was already heavier than our other cat (who is 4 and a half years old) and always seemed so happy and energetic. My Dad called him a "smashing little fellow." He had a wonderful life, and I wish he hadn't had to go so soon, but I don't think there's anything we could have done to make him happier.
I really miss him - the house seems quiet without him (even though Dusty and Thor are still here), and I miss his little purr and the way he'd stand up to get cuddles, and the way he would sit on my shoulders and purr. I hope we did the right thing for him - and we will never forget him.
Rest in peace, little one.

FPTP vs PR
Looking at any party that got at least 47,223 votes, we see:
|votes per seat
|seats under PR
|Alliance Party
|Green Party
|Liberal Democrat
|Plaid Cymru
|Ulster Unionist Party
|Sinn Fein
|Social Democratic & Labour Party
|Scottish National Party
|Democratic Unionist Party
(updated to reflect final score - the single "other" seat is left off of this list)
Doesn't look so good for UKIP, at 3.8m+ votes per seat, does it.
The system does seem to be set up to ensure that the bigger parties cannot be challenged.
For the record, the PR figures above assume that anyone getting less than enough votes for one seat would be ignored, and the seats split among the remaining parties according to vote share.
Interestingly, these PR figures would still leave Conservatives and UKIP 1 seat short of a majority if they worked together.
Someone at Tim's place mentioned that UKIP have more votes than Lib Dems and SNP put together - something to think about!

My cat was hit by a car last week. I was at work and my wife called me to let me know. It was one of the scariest calls I've ever taken.
I rushed out and met them at the vet's. Luckily it seems like he's not too badly hurt. His ear is a bit mangled and a couple of teeth chipped, but the rest of it will all heal.
Today we let him out for the first time since it happened. It's scary sometimes, having pets...

Health care
I had an interesting discussion with my mum earlier today about the NHS.
For background, my mum had an aneurysm at Christmas and was admitted to hospital. She was stuck in there for a few weeks while they did scans and decided what to do, then once they'd decided on an operation there were more than a few delays but she eventually had her op and all went well.
We were discussing the changes coming up to the national lottery, and one of her reservations was around the "good causes" that lottery money is sent to. She suggested that it could instead be funnelled to the NHS. I had to disagree.
My mum was quite surprised to hear how much we all currently pay for the NHS (last time I did the maths it was around £2,000 per taxpayer per year - a little over £150 per month).
My problem with the NHS is not that it's not a good thing, but that it's not efficient and has no need to be. This is one reason I'm all for the idea of competition within the NHS. I'd rather go further though.
The best system I've heard of is the Singaporean one. Everyone pays their NI equivalent into a special account. If you need serious treatment (such as for cancer, etc) then the government pays, and most other medical costs are taken from your special account. If there's anything left in it when you reach retirement age, you can use the money to buy a pension. This way people who need something can get it, but it discourages frivolous uses of the health service (by making people aware of the cost) while driving efficiency (through competition - if a new clinic will charge less, people will use it).

Doctor Who
My own take on it was that 9 was suffering some kind of PTSD - he could have done with another season or two to work through his issues, but I guess a regeneration works as well. 10 was ok - he was a little too human for me, and a bit too much of a hypocrite for me to get behind 100%.
All of my favourite episodes in the early seasons were Moffat ones. I've disliked just about all of the end-of-season finishes under RTD. Take season 1 for example - great setup, fantastic situation. Daleks poised to destroy mankind, and the only way the Doctor can stop it is by wiping out Earth. Great stuff! But then he doesn't go through with it, and instead Rose gets super-powers and saves the day. There's a line in there about how a time lord can't look into the heart of the Tardis as he'd get the powers of a god (kinda like Rose just did?). Then how the hell did they lose the time war?
When the Master stole the Tardis and left the Doctor and co marooned at the end of time, I thought it was so he could look into it's heart and become a God. But no, instead he wants to use it to build a really fragile Paradox Machine device, the breaking of which will undo all the stuff he's done. Great plan...
The other big thing that annoys me about RTDs endings is that there's no build up until the last minute. People have already talked about the Bad Wolf thing. It was meaningless - at best it gives a little cue that lets you place the episode within series 1 when re-watching. In Season 1, the first time we learn that the "Heart of the Tardis" is special is in Boom Town, the episode immediately before the season ending two-parter (and it solves all their problems by magic there as well).
This problem is endemic throughout the season-endings. The resolution is always something of a deus ex. Season 2, great situation with Daleks and Cybermen attacking. How do we solve it? Pull a lever... Season 3, a whole lot of people chanting your name give you magical powers? Really? And the whole fobwatch thing that indicates hidden time lords? Only introduced a couple of episodes before, and all because the Doctor didn't want to hurt the poor bad people, instead getting a bunch of innocents killed.
Season 4 gave us the Doctor-Donna fiasco. Never mind that dodging a regeneration shouldn't be as easy as having a spare body part around (and where are the limits? can I shunt regeneration energy into a finger? How about a toenail clipping?) The whole thing where Donna gets all the knowledge and power of the Doctor by touching this energy imbued hand is dodgy as anything (and not just that, but (a) she's apparently better than the Doctor at it and (b) she still only saves the day with essentially meaningless technobabble) but also creating a human clone of the Doctor? I never liked biology, but the repressed biologist inside me is crying out in agony. Still, anything for a happy ending, right? (A happy ending for Rose and the clone Doc, anyway. Kinda sucks for Donna).
I will confess I've not actually watched The End of Time - I fear my heart may give out given what I've heard.
Don't get me wrong - I love the situations and most of the season ending episodes, I've just always been disappointed by the resolution. New things are introduced (such as Heart of Tardis giving Godlike powers) which are then ignored forever-more.
I'd love to say that things got better under Moffat, and they kinda did. The first season under Moffat was genius, and I loved every minute. The next looked promising but then had a crappy ending - how exactly a wedding ceremony is meant to fix the universe I don't really know, and the resolution where River killed the robot seemed a little contrived - it would have been less of a stretch and a better nod to continuity within the series to have the 'Ganger Doc come back. The latest season hasn't really ended yet - but I'm not overly thrilled with the explanation for the Impossible Girl - seems a bit too similar to Rose getting God powers in the first RTD season and spreading messages through the time-stream. GI's motivation seemed a little OTT as well - screwing one person over at the cost of your life seems like too high a cost - better to send a minion to do it, surely?
Have to see what the 50th Anniversary special is like.

Journalists and numeracy
"...a maximum "lifetime allowance" applies to pensions, limiting the total size of a fund to £1,500m for this tax year (ending April 2014) and down further to £1.25m in the next (2014-2015). "Seems like a hell of a cut, from £1.5bn to £1.25m...
from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/pensions/10233522/Todays-children-will-need-2.4m-pension-pot.html
The whole article is a bit crap to be honest - £2.4m would buy you around (very approximate) £120k of pension, which seems like a hell of a lot more than most people live on while working, let alone in retirement. I suspect they're taking inflation into account, at which point they may be trying to draw attention to the fact that the allowance is decreasing rather than increasing, but they really need to say what assumptions they are making and what that means in today's money. It's just scaremongering
Wednesday, 29 August 2012
So, my last post was February, and now it's August more than a year later. I guess it might be time for an update...
In some ways a lot has changed and in some ways it's the same.
The biggest change is that I have a new job. I started in March last year, and am now part of the dreaded public sector. The job is very different from my last role, and so far I am loving it. It's a great challenge, but has commensurate renumeration.
I'm still happily married and have a beautiful wife who works in retail. She has recently started a new job, and the pay is slightly worse but the hours and travel are much better. I also have a lovely dog and cat at home.
I'm registered self employed but the income hasn't been more than a few hundred pounds a year so far. With the new job, I just don't have a lot of time or energy for building apps or the like.
I have basically stopped role playing (by which I mean games like dungeons and dragons, and not anything kinky) and as a consequence haven't seen most of my friends in a while. This was more due to a growing discontent with the gaming that we were doing than a falling out with them, and truth to tell I do miss the gaming and the social aspect.
I have been following a few projects and recently received the pdf of Torchbearer by the Burning Wheel crew. It looks great! I've also backed exalted 3e and will have to get my wife to play when I get the pdf of that.
My wife got me a kindle so I have been devouring books on the way to and from work - if anyone can recommend some good fantasy or SF let me know.
I'll try to be somewhat active on here going forward...

Cutting the Pension Annual Allowance
It seems to be the usual scare tactics to sell newspapers. Apparently the government is thinking of cutting the annual allowance. No quotes from anyone in government of course, and nothing concrete, just a lot of speculation.
There are two good reasons why I don't think that this will happen:
- They only just cut the allowance from £225,000 to £50,000
- The people most affected would be higher rate taxpayers, and most of them usually vote conservative. Hitting them in the pocket would be a great way to lose votes.

The domestication of non-timber forest species (NTFS) is receiving increasing attention from developing economies. However, little is known about the selection of NTFS in Nepal for commercial uses. Sixteen selection criteria were developed and NTFS were ranked for community and private plantations in both low altitude and high altitude areas of Makawanpur district, Nepal, by workshops of multiple NTFS stakeholders. The rigorous scoring of 12 ecologically screened NTFS against the 16 selection criteria revealed that kurilo and sarpagandh are highly preferred NTFS for low altitude areas whereas chiraito and jatamanshi are highly preferred for high altitude. This finding coincides with the general perception of participants and contemporary literature. These are the species being rapidly depleted from the natural forests. Rapid decline of valuable species creates strong motivation from stakeholders for planting them on community and private land.

Press Release
GeoSpring, hybrid water heater, Edison Awards, water heater
LOUISVILLE, KY — The GeoSpring hybrid water heater from GE continues its impressive run of firsts. Not only was the GeoSpring the first heat pump water heater to be ENERGY STAR-rated and the first to be listed on the U.S. Department of Energy's website, it's recently earned another first: first place in the Edison Best New Product Awards in the Lifestyle & Social impact category.
The Edison Best New Product Awards recognize new and innovative products in the spirit of Thomas Alva Edison, America's greatest inventor and innovator. Edison was father of the electric light bulb, document duplication, recorded sound, commercial electricity generation, and the motion picture, to name but a few of his inventions. The 2010 Edison Awards are sponsored by TV's Discovery Channel, Google, The Nielsen Company and Strategyn: the Thomas Edison Papers at Rutgers University serves as guarantor of the Edison Awards.
After air heating and cooling, home water heating is the largest in residential energy consumption. As homes are designed to be more energy–efficient, the percentage of energy used to heat water has been growing — until now. The new GeoSpring hybrid water heater can cut residential water heater energy costs by more than half.
By utilizing heat pump technology in combination with traditional electric elements, the GeoSpring hybrid water heater pulls heat from surrounding air and transfers it to the tank. This innovative process creates the same amount of hot water as a traditional water heater, but can reduce energy expenses up to 62 percent.* And that could have a dramatic impact on monthly utility bills and the environment. The GeoSpring hybrid water heater:
The GeoSpring hybrid water heater has earned a "Best of What's New" award from Popular Science magazine, and was also recently recognized in Home Builder Executive's "Green Building Product Awards" for Heat Pump Water Heaters.

brad this is clive at his best - being a doom and gloom merchant - he is not happy unless he is denigrating united – and he would have us believe he is a united fan
I dunno, mate. Moaning and groaning has always been part of being a football supporter. Or maybe that is just because I am a City fan. I used to regularly go to games when we were somewhere North of Oblivion, and we moaned about the chairman, the manager, the players, etc. But we did have our inflatables! The thing with United is that expectations are incredibly high, especially as the club are always topping the Forbes rich list. This makes many fans feel that the cream of world footballing talent should be going to United, rather than elsewhere. It is understandable in that context.Being a supporter inevitably involves criticism: 'why didn't we sign player X' etc. Didn't the whole Green & Gold thing amongst your match-going support indicate a bit of 'doom and gloom'?

The All-Star break is here for the Augusta GreenJackets. While most oft he team will be relaxing over the next two days, Juan Perez will be playing baseball, representing the team at the All-Star game.
Perez is the lone GreenJackets player heading to Charleston, West Virginia for the game. After a slow start, he's starting to turn it on, leading the team in homers and second in RBI. All good signs for a minor league player who is just thrilled to be even considered one of the best in the league.
"I'm excited. It's a chance of a lifetime," said Perez. "To be in pro ball and play in an all-star game. I'm excited."
As well as competing in the All-Star game, he will also take part in the home run derby. Reliever Daniel Runzler was also selected but has been called up since and will not participate.

Thankfully, the anti-science propaganda campaign surrounding man-made climate change seems to have lost some of its effect.
Are you seeing storm clouds on the horizon? Two recent studies suggest that the latest anti-science campaign is following its forerunners--the propaganda campaigns attempting to refute science that tobacco causes cancer, that CFC's caused the hole in the ozone layer, and so on—into oblivion. Global warming denial seems to have climbed to a peak in 2010, and global warming acceptance is now climbing. This bodes well for rational public policy.

Good catch, Kendall.
Even the climate scientist hyped by Tiredofit for political reasons believes, when she puts on her scientist cap, that atmospheric carbon contributes to global warming,
Another true believer, eh?
Tiredofit is hoisted by his own petard again.
That's the bottom line, not politics.
Posted 950 days ago.
Once again, Tiredofit, you show yourself, and distort what I wrote.
By saying "talking outside of her field," I clearly meant unlearned in politics. You however, deceptively choose to ignore the qualification and focus on the catchall word unlearned.
Posted 950 days ago.
"My research experience and interests include the science and societal impact of air pollution. In particular, I focus on black carbon (BC) pollution, which is a by-product of incomplete combustion, both natural and anthropogenic. BC contributes to climate warming and is linked to a range of health problems, including premature mortality." (Monika Kopacz)
So Tired, you agree with her that black carbon contributes to global warming?
Posted 950 days ago.
We're talking past each other. I refer to the science, and you refer to the politics.
I refuse to be swayed by political hype.
I repeat: an overwhelming majority of the climate scientists most published in peer reviewed journals agree with the tenets of the IPCC.
That's the bottom line, not your politics.
Posted 950 days ago.
So here's the genuinely important part:
Among those scientists most published in peer-reviewed journals and most cited, a large majority agree with the tenets of the International Panel on Climate Change.
These scientists are expressing their opinions within their fields of learning.
Posted 950 days ago.
"Harry, did you even read the quote?"
Sure I did, but I don't consider "MONIKA KOPACZ Applied Mathematics and Atmospheric Sciences Harvard University Cambridge, Mass" an expert on politics, anymore than I consider Al Gore an expert on science.
You've only provided an opinion by someone talking outside her field of learning. Anyone can have an unlearned opinion. Unlearned opinions aren't acceptable evidence.
Posted 950 days ago.
Tiredofit, You have made that claim again and again, and we have asked you to provide substantiation for your claim again and again. You have provided none.
Why do you keep repeating this claim for which you apparently haven't a shred of evidence?
Posted 950 days ago.
Of course that is already happening for other reasons. The right is just one big cluster phuck of stupid right now.
Whats funny is that the Tea Party is the force that is ripping it all apart.
Posted 950 days ago.
I say do nothing about Climate Change at all. Stop funding any research into it and then....wait.
When the nasty effects start hitting us..just point a finger.
Those who denied it will find themselves without any kind of representation in government real quick.
I say let them impale themselves.
Posted 950 days ago.
I agree with most of Tiredofit's post, except the part about funding more research. If the models are uncertain, we should fund research to increase the reliability of the models.
Tiredofit seems to have concluded there is no danger. However, scientists have provided ample evidence to show there may be danger. Let's do more research to find out for sure.
Posted 950 days ago.
Imbecile! LOL!
Always cracks me up.
Posted 951 days ago.
@Thats- do you have a citation for that info you just gave?
Posted 951 days ago.
Straight from the imbecile Climate Scientistees mouths' They will not include the polar temperatures in their ongoing scam as it will alter their data differently than the outcomes desired"
Globewarmers have to be the most ridiculous humans alive imbecile is too good of a word for these idiots

Iceberg over Ohio? You gotta be kidding me?
Definition: a large floating mass of ice detached from a glacier or ice sheet and carried out to sea.

Proof has been offered to support the claim that current global warming is due to in part by man.
Your offering up the MWP isn't exactly proof because you haven't said what caused it to happen and how that connects to what is going on now.
Posted 951 days ago.
You obviously have no concept what it means to carry a burden of proof.
The statement that; The overall temperature of the Earth is rising is agreed by all of us right?
If so, then two positive & generalized claims have been made.
1) Current Global Warming is due in part or fully by the actions of mankind.
2) Current Global Warming is due to natural fluctuations.
Both are positive claims and the burden of proving them rides on those that make them. So you are incorrect, you also have the burden to prove your position.
Posted 951 days ago.
Seven responses and not a answer in there anywhere...just blabber. Well, actually to break it down we have:
3 comments about icebergs in Ohio
1 comment about the medieval warming period with no connection given to the here and now beyond wishful thinking. Ignoring also that the current global temps are higher than the MWP was.
4 accusations of ties with organizations I have no connection to
So in the end we have Tired behaving like other famous denier groups who throw accusations, deny facts and try to connect issues that are not related.
Posted 951 days ago.
And the non-scientific comments begin to flow, thank you for not disappointing Tired.
So what is that now? Over a hundred non-answers to very basic scientific questions. The end result is that you don't have a clue what you are talking about and never did. All you have is faith that you are correct, which is not much to go on at all.
Yes or no, can you show that the rise in overall global temperatures can be attributed to only natural causes?
Posted 951 days ago.
Tired, you say that one cannot reproduce the experiment of man made global warming but how could you know that this warming is due to nature? You can't recreate an experiment to show it's all natural can you?
Posted 951 days ago.
"You cannot debate what you don't understand, Shortbus"
Curious, do you call African-Americans the n-word? Do you call those with mental disabilities the r-word? I ask because that shortbus crack was just as insensitive and closed minded as I have seen on here.

NEW YORK -- Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's SMS Promotions officially announced its signing of world light middleweight contender James "Mandingo Warrior" Kirkland (31-1, 27 KOs) to an exclusive promotional contract.
"James concentrates on conditioning and building strength,"50 Cent said. "He brings the fight to you and is aggressive in the ring. The crowd loves the action and I'm excited to make him a part of our team."
"I had a relationship with 50-Cent before he came into the boxing business," Kirkland explained. "We already had a friendship when he got this group together. He can do what no other promoters can do. He's a different type of promoter who can make things happen in and out of the ring for me. It's clear to me that I made the right decision."
Due to problems outside of the ring, the 29-year-old southpaw from Austin, Texas has been inactive since stopping Carlos Molina in the 10th round of their March 24, 2012 fight in Houston. Kirkland successfully defended his World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas 154-pound title belt, originally captured November 5, 2011 when the knockout artist registered an impressive sixth-round technical knockout of Alfredo Angulo (20-1) in Mexico.
Molina is now the reigning International Boxing Federation (IBF) World light middleweight champion, while the WBA No. 5-rated Angulo recently lost a World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim championship fight.
Kirkland returns to the ring December 7 as part of an HBO tripleheader, headlined by Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Joseph Agbeko, also featuring Mathew Macklin vs. Willie Nelson, from Adrian Phillips Ballroom at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
In the third HBO fight, Kirkland faces undefeated prospect and North American Boxing Organization (NABO) light middleweight champion, Glen "Jersey Boy" Tapia (23 KOs), from nearby Passaic (NJ). Rated No. 10 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), as well as No. 14 by the IBF, the 23-year-old Tapia is a rising star who had a 130-4 amateur record and gained invaluable experience as Manny Pacquiao's former sparring partner.
"I had this great opportunity come along with Glen Tapia," Kirkland spoke about his upcoming fight. "He just doesn't have what comes with knowledge in boxing, but he will know that December 7th. There are different levels of fighting, as they say in the street, and he hasn't fought anybody at my level in his 20 fights. I don't talk too much before a fight but, he doesn't have to worry about being 21-0, because I'm going to knock his ass out December 7th.
"The proof is in the pudding. All I have to do is put in extra work and that's what I've been doing. I'm not overlooking him. This is his 'Mayweather' fight. He wants to win and be an exciting fighter on HBO.....that's not going to happen! It all comes down to me boxing at my best; I can beat anybody at 154 pounds or 160, name anybody. Who does what I do? There are a couple of cats at 160 who can put on a great performance but, right now, I'm concentrating on Glen Tapia. Congratulations for him getting this fight but we are at different levels."
In addition to his aforementioned victories over Molina and Angulo, Kirkland's other notable wins have been against Brian Vera (TKO8), who just lost a controversial decision to Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., Joel Julio (TKO6) and Eromosele Albert (TKO1).
Although Kirkland will have been inactive 20 1/2 months when he fights Tapia, the explosive Texan doesn't feel ring rust will be a problem at all for him. "A lot of people know that I haven't been on a long layoff," Kirkland concluded. "I've been working hard since the beginning of my lawsuit. Now that things are in motion, I'm jumping right into the mix. My sparring sessions are like fights for other guys."
Fans may follow 50-Cent on Twitter @50cent and friend Kirkland at https://www.facebook.com/pages/James-Kirkland/736672159693254.
SMS Promotions' growing stable of fighters also includes two-time world featherweight and reigning Interim WBA lightweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa, former International Boxing Federation (IBF) featherweight titlist Billy Dib, former world super middleweight title challenger Andre Dirrell, undefeated lightweight prospect Mark Davis, light welterweight Luis Olivares and junior welterweight Donte Strayhorn.
Ann Wolfe made Kirkland respectable. without Wolfe Kirkland is just another street banger dimwit clueless of strategy that is going to get slaughtered. Wolfe made Kirkland think and without Ann Wolfe directing, James is a junk car without a fricking…Comment by ddangerous on 10-17-2013
[QUOTE=SHO_RULEZ;13848696]For Angulo's sake...NO :). It was competitive first round, but after that it was pretty much a one sided beating. Drunken machismo kept Angulo up for the next few rounds.[/QUOTE] The only reason it went down the way it did…Comment by Da Machine on 10-17-2013
[QUOTE=eternalfighter;13848964]Who ever wrote this is an idiot, Kirkland never stopped Molina. Molina was dqued when golden boy forced the ref to do so. Kirkland's return is good though he brings action, would be a good fight vs Lara, winner rematch…Comment by Tobi.G on 10-17-2013
I hope Kirkland wins. That would be much better for boxing because hes one of the most entertaining fighters. He should stay at 154 though because at 160 he gets murdered.Comment by eternalfighter on 10-16-2013

He told me that he got my name and phone from Gary Johnson, who ran the small business seminar. And further that he "works for Gary" in the financial consulting field. He told me that Primerica, a Citi Corp unit was looking to open up (I forget how many offices in the Dallas/Fort Worth area) in the coming year and looking to hire a very large number (also forgotton) number of people and needed managers and all of that.
I asked what he was talking about and he went on to tell me that Primerica helped people with their financial matters. He went on in pretty good detail because I had asked some rather frank and probing questions.
Then I mentioned that the whole thing sounded very Multi Level to me and then he went on to lie about the MLM aspect of the deal. I really get steamed at people like this. He did give me the Primerica Web Site address (which did not work ... maybe their server is down). I put Primerica into my search program and low and behold I found this site.
Thank you for this site. I dont think I would have ever been a prospect but it kept me from asking stupid questions and looking like a fool. Isn't that what liars try to do, make you look like a fool? Just think, had the guy just answered my question with the truth I would not be writing this flame.

I just want to respond to your criticism by telling you about my parents. When I was quite young my parents sold insurance. They worked very hard even making cold calls. When I look back at what they did I know that I do not have the courage to knock on people's doors. BUT they made a lot of money by being motivated, getting up in the morning and working hard. They were extremely committed to their clients. As they progressed I learned that what they were involved in was a MLM company. However, they didn't recruit a single person. They put food on the table by selling insurance and by providing excellent customer service. I ask you, what is wrong with that?
When I read what everyone has written about Primerica I think of my parents. Two uneducated but intelligent people making a living.
If I didn't have two young children I would rush in to this and be one of the super-achievers making lots of money.
The negativity and name calling that I see on this site will not be what convinces me not to work with Primerica.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I'm guessing that when you applied to the company your working now, they call you that very same day and told you that you got the job, rigth?
Also you may want to decide, if the guy who talk to you told some truth or either lied, but I don't think he would talk great about the company, then answer your questions and then give you a wrong site. Won't you agree?
By the way I think that what liars really do is not to make themselves look like fools.

A Washington think-tank held a symposium today on a topic that has fascinated people in Canada, and beyond: How is Rob Ford the mayor of Toronto?
In an attempt to explore the factors that led to his election, and enduring core of support, Washington's Wilson Center held a discussion titled ``The Rob Ford Phenomenon: What's going on in Toronto?''
The conversation was led by Canadian university professor AnneGolden, who didn't exactly sing Ford's praises, but did offer her take on the reasons people voted for him and why many continue to support him despite a tsunami of scandals.
About two dozen people crowded into a boardroom near the White House, to hear her presentation and ask questions.
One academic suggested the parallels between Ford and ex-D.C.mayor Marion Barry went beyond being busted for smoking crack: he suggested they both draw political support from segments of society that fear being ignored by the urban elite.
Golden explained the history of the Toronto mega-city, and said Torontonians were frustrated by a garbage strike, taxes, and the perception of waste at city hall. She said Ford's promise to, 'Stop the gravy train,' appealed to them.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission
approved a statewide ban on certain kinds of whips in harness
The commission on Monday unanimously approved the ban on whips
and riding crops that have strands of material at the end called a
snapper. Snappers have been known to leave severe welts on horses.The ban does not apply to thoroughbred racing.
Also Monday, the commission placed new restrictions on the way
in which standardbred drivers can strike the horse. One-handed
whipping now would be banned.

What are you gonna do? Any ideas for a 15 month old? I know it's not our age group but I am out of ideas for her.
V-day projects
Sorry if you have mistaken me for someone who cares. If anything I have written is misspelled, TUFF. Just fire up that second brain cell and DEAL!
Comments (7)
let's see:
stamps(maybe a potato stamp, cut a heart into half a potato?)
Maybe get a wooden box or a sturdy cardboard box from Michael's and have her make it a 'Valentine box? paint it, put stickers, foamies, whatever?
does she like playdo yet, maybe get/make some pink, playdo and let her play around with it?
mama to C and H
Make pancakes with red food coloring and use a cookie cutter to make them heart shaped.
I have "The Toddler's Busy Book" by Trish Kuffner. Her ideas include
- paperclipping a heart doily to another paper, and then painting over it.
- making/decorating cookiies, or using frosting to glue candies to graham crackers
- dribble paint in the middle of a heart shaped paper. Fold in half, use rolling pin to squish paint together. Open to see design.
- paint heart shape cardboard using red jelly powder thinned with a little water to make a sweet smell paint
Make hearts or valentine's by marble (we used palstic balls at this age) painting and then cutting out the papers in the shape of hearts. He also decorated wtih sparkly glue.
*marble painting: put the paper in a box or lid with drops of paint on the paper and then manipulate the box tomake the marbles/balls roll all over the paper.
hmmm for a 15 month old do you think finger paint on a heart would work? with assistance of course. I think I started ds out at that time...or pudding paint in case she eats it...you could add food coloring
My son made a door hanger at xmas time at daycare that he LOOOVED so it finally got put away and I had the idea to make one for vday
Dollar tree had packs of 4 for a buck made of foam. He picked out a lion rahter than a heart LOL But we used heart stickers (from dollar tree) to docorate it and then I let him use glitter glue to docorate on top of that (also dollar store in a pack of 8, they have pastels or primary colors)
He loves it and it was easy enough for a 2 year old. If older we might have cut and paste things himself or that he made or painted on it or did sponge painting of vday shapes
Love these ideas, keepe em comin!
Sorry if you have mistaken me for someone who cares. If anything I have written is misspelled, TUFF. Just fire up that second brain cell and DEAL!
DS just brought home a project from his in home daycare. Very simple, but he is loving it. She cut out two hearts with one being bigger than the other. they glued one inside the other and glued it on a tongue depresser. Then they did a handprint int he middle. He has been running around with it all afternoon and giving high fives with it.

I give this to one of my daughters to prevent her eczema from flaring up. I give it to all of them to prevent a myriad of problems from chap-lips to sunburn to illness.
Good product
Posted by Reviewer1221476 on Jul 22, 2009
I decided to start taking Vitamin D after reading so many studies about its benefits and hearing from a couple of friends how Vitamin D helps with mood. I'm from the northeast and this past June, there were only 4 sunny days in the entire month. ALl other days were raining or heavily overcast. My mood is definitely connected to sunlight (am pretty sure I have seasonal affective disorder) and I was mildly depressed without any life stressors to speak of. Since taking this, my mood is much better, whether or not I'm directly taking in sun to produce Vitamin D naturally.
love it
Posted by Reviewer2696475 on Dec 13, 2008
I live in Alaska where we need to add D in winter due to lack of sunlight. The whole family takes it, even my 5 year old who can easily swallow this teeny tiny capsule.
Posted by Reviewer3286239 on Jul 19, 2008
I absolutely LOVE these little softgels, and I make sure the whole family gets their daily dose of this VERY essential vitamin! My husband's and my blood pressure has gone WAY down with a daily dose of 3000IU, and that is the only thing we've added to our regimen of allopathic and natural supplements. This little vitamin is TERRIFIC!!
Super great!
Posted by Reviewer3156794 on Oct 22, 2008
I just read that the number one preventive for the flu is Vit D. I also read in the AARP newsletter that a Vit D deficiency manifests itself just like Alzheimer's. Maybe your elderly friends and family don't really have Alzheimer's maybe they're very low in Vit D. Check it out. It happened to my Mom who's 82 and never goes out into the sunshine. Her doctor put her on 3000mgs of Vit D and wow what a difference.
Vitamin D-3
Posted by Reviewer1282533 on Nov 08, 2008
I am very pleased with this product. My doctor recommended Calcium Citrate along with 3 softgels of Vitamin D-3 for osteopenia. I just had a dexa scan of the bones in my spine and left hip, and they are almost in the normal range which was a 11.8% improvement from just two years ago when I started taking this product. I will continue to take it from now on. Thanks for making it so easy to order online. Judy Squires
Recommended dose
Posted by Reviewer3088906 on Feb 02, 2008
1000 IU/day is the current recommendation among certain populations. The general consensus is that concerns over Vitamin D toxicity have been overstated, and that individuals living in certain parts of the world (above a certain latitudinal lines) are simply not exposed to enough UV radiation during the winter months to produce a sufficient amount of Vitamin D. Vitamin D behaves like a hormone in the body, regulating calcium metabolism. (Among other things; for example, it has also been found to have some anticarcinogenic properties).
Best Vitamin-D3 EVER !!!!
Posted by Sickness-ELIMINATOR on Jan 26, 2014
* 180 softgels = 6 months !! * Working night shift since 1997 has definitely kept me from getting my fair share of sun. I didn't even realize how deficient I was until it literally felt like I was dying! I mean ZERO energy. It was a struggle just to get out of bed or do simple tasks. Not to mention the foggy brain, dry lifeless skin & hair, forgetfulness, and feeling depressed. Originally I thought it was a thyroid issue but had that ruled out then discovered my vitamin D levels were ridiculously low. I have been taking this supplement for approx 3 years now & it has really given me my vigor & zest for life back! I feel like a whole new person. Who knew such a tiny little pill could make such a huge difference? . . . . Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.
4,000 IU of D3 daily year round
Posted by Reviewer1981810 on Oct 07, 2007
In March 2007 a study said: 4,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily required for ideal cancer prevention blood level of 55ng/ml 25(OH)D especially for those who avoid sun as advised by skin doctors. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2007 Mar;103(3-5):708-11.
Excellent Value!
Posted by Reviewer1054280 on Mar 25, 2007
With research suggesting that people take even more of this vitamin for bone health and cancer protection, this is an easy to swallow tiny gel cap at a great price.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
With the announcement of new musical director and conductor Ward Stare, the Macon Symphony Orchestra, a Knight Arts grantee, has set the stage for one of its richest and most exciting seasons in recent memory. When talking to Stare, one quickly notices his ambition to appeal to a wide audience, and the 2012–13 season clearly illustrates this desire.
"One of our goals was to give a nice variety of music to our audience so that coming to see the Macon Symphony Orchestra is really an event," explained Stare. "I think we've really accomplished that."
Among this year's offering will be a presentation of Engelbert Humperdinck's fairy-tale opera based on the Grimm brother's "Hansel and Gretel," featuring young singers from the Chicago Lyric Opera's illustrious Ryan Center for Young Artists. Stare said he sees the presentation of an entire opera as a chance to reach out into the community in myriad ways and teach children about this esteemed artform.
"This is a great opportunity to reach out," he said. "That's a program that I'm particularly proud of."
Another compelling concert in this year's season is the planned collaboration with PROJECT Trio. This high-energy chamber music ensemble burst onto the scene through the video sharing website, YouTube. They are now one of the most watched instrumental ensembles on the Internet with more than 71 million views and 78,000 subscribers.
According to Stare, the three members were classically trained at the prestigious Cleveland Institute of Music. They then branched out on their own and began experimenting with new sounds. One such sound called "beat-box flute" combines flute playing with the hip-hop practice of beat boxing, a vocal technique of mimicking percussion sounds. PROJECT Trio offers a cutting-edge sound compounded by a foundation of classical training that is nothing short of remarkable. A simple Google search will yield videos of the group demonstrating this technique, and viewing them in action is sure to pique the interest of anyone who appreciates contemporary approaches to classical fare.
"Their videos went viral almost immediately," explained the new conductor. "They really are a YouTube sensation and I look forward to bringing them to Macon."
Ward Stare is the new conductor and musical director of the Macon Symphony Orchestra.
Stare summed up the upcoming season as being about relationships new and old. Because of his extensive career, he is able to bring fresh and interesting musical collaborations to the table. His new position also allows him to form new collaborations with the many talented musicians who have been performing with the Macon Symphony for years.
Toward that goal, "Triple Delight" will be feature MSO's new music director and conductor along with local favorites Amy Moretti, violin; Elizabeth Pridgen, piano; and Julie Albers, cello. The 2012–13 season will see a blending of new and venerable with the focus on fresh and relevant offerings which will appeal to patrons young and old, new and experienced.
Sheryl Towers, executive director of the symphony, said, "I appreciate and value Ward's sensitivity to reaching out to all ages."
In fact, Towers said tickets sales for the 2012–13 season have already surpassed what they were in September of 2011. It's certainly an exciting time for the Macon Symphony Orchestra.

The Late Twos, are a lively five piece indie outfit from Belfast. They started out in September 2010 under the name of the Tonic Slags, staging their first gig to a capacity crowd of 200+. The main drive for the band was to produce some feel-good 'indie' anthems for the UK and further afield.
Following a busy 2010/11, a change of name and release of their debut EP, they have been busy gigging, completing a mini tour in April 2012.

Skip to comments.Helen Thomas: "The Loser Will Always Blame The Media"
Posted on 04/25/2008 10:24:47 AM PDT by seanmerc
If history repeats, the loser of this years presidential election will blame the news media.
Richard Nixon, in the wake of his loss in the 1962 California gubernatorial race, bitterly taunted reporters, telling them, You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.
(Turned out he was wrong on that point.)
Barbara Bush also had some choice words about the press when her husband, President George H.W. Bush, lost his reelection bid in 1992.
The media could be even a larger target this year because of the influence of blogs and talking heads -- folks who are not shy about airing their political preferences. These so-called journalists are willing to go into an attack mode to bolster a favored candidate.
Eleanor Roosevelt once said to be first lady you have to have the skin of a rhinoceros.
That goes for politicians too. Heavy criticism, sometimes unfair, goes with the turf. Its not easy out there with political opponents loaded for bear and spending big money for attack ads.
Then theres the honey trap that smart reporters and politicians try to avoid.
For example, take Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the likely Republican presidential nominee. McCain has his share of admiring reporters because he often chooses to schmooze with them.
Are both sides of that conversation cozying up? Sure. Reporters are vulnerable when it comes to access; getting close to the candidate might give them some insights into the candidates plans.
But there is always the potential problem that the reporter or the candidate may become confused about their roles and mistakenly think of each other as friends. Theyre usually not. Its not that theyre enemies, either. They are simply professionals doing their respective jobs.
On the topic of loyalties, Sen. Hilary Clinton, D-N.Y., must have a few choice thoughts, now that some of her Democratic friends have switched to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. -- some believing that Obama has a better chance to win the presidency.
Among them was liberal former Labor Secretary Robert Reich who broke with the Clintons when he was still in the Clinton Cabinet.
Two conservative former Democratic senators, David Boren of Oklahoma and Sam Nunn of Georgia, have signed up with Obama. Obama also has the support of rock star Bruce Springsteen and Oprah, the TV and magazine mogul.
Once the Democrats civil strife is finished, one way or another, reporters should zero in on the November election candidates and ask relevant questions, such as:
How do we get out of Iraq?
What should be done in Afghanistan?
How can we get the economy moving and get more jobs created?
Do we need more tax cuts at a time of enormous war-time spending and gaping budget deficits?
Enough talk about universal health care -- how do we attain it?
Does our new national policy favor preemptive war? Torture?
What is the solution to global warming?
By now, the candidates should know where they stand on these pressing issues and the voters should be perfectly clear about their solutions when they go to the polls.
Its the job of reporters to put the candidates on the spot. But if the past is prologue, you can be sure that the media will be blamed by the loser on Election Day.
Helen Thomas can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
Just in time for lunch!!!
You just gave me a seizure.
I don't blame the media...I blame the average American's inability to think critically.
Came here early so I wouldn't have to see that thing before lunch, and you went and ruined it for me on the first post...
Oh vey........that face in threes??????? What are you trying to do, torture me???????/Just Asking - seoul62........
If Obama loses, racism will be blamed.
If Clinton loses, sexism will be blamed.
If McCain loses, McCain will be blamed.
And if the loser is black they will always blame racism.
What is she blaming the media for?
And the Helen Thomas thread is safe for everyone.
Here is what I really believe has happened:
1. After 8 years of Moveon.ORG Bush hating and hating everything that is not radical leftist agenda and I mean Venomous hatred, they have been able to convince the media and their own contstituants that a candidate like Barack Obama is desirable. The most liberal left wing candidate they could find.
Now they tried to camoflouge him but the truth is that most Americans do not hate their country and do not hate their president and do not wish defeat for our troops in Iraq. So I believe that by dragging their entire party to the looney left they have created a situation in which even Hillary Clinton looks too far to the right for them. This will ultimately cause them to nominate someone that cannot win. This should be no consolation to true conservatives because Mccain is no conservative. It could be argued whether Hillary Clinton or Mccain would be better to win this thing I believe. At least Clinton would try to position herself in the middle once elected. Mccain would have no loyalty and try and distance himself from most conservatives
Crazy as ever. People ask if she is still alive. There is no way to tell from those pictures.
Other than her list of "issues" ("What is the solution to global warming" Blah!), she's remarkably lucid in this article. You know what they say about a stopped clock....
Helen Thomas is blaming the media?
Do you really think Helen Thomas is right twice a day?
One other difference is that in the new media any lies, omissions, biases and mistakes are immediately and publicly pointed out, while the numerous layers of editors and fact checkers in old journalism are either asleep or join in the deception.
I better get back to reading the Friday Silliness Thread.
I think FR should only allow that picture in conjunction with extortion threats.
Such as, "If you don't _____________, then we will post the Helen Thomas picture!"
That is the most disgusting, witchy/bit_hy picture I've ever seen in my life.
I often wonder why she goes to the trouble of putting on lip stick especially RED.
Okay, where's the picture of the dog's ash? I will hold my breath until I see it!!!!!!!!
I blame the media when they release a candidate's decades old DWI arrest on the eve on an election. I blame the media when the fabricate military letters to "prove" a candidate was AWOL decades earlier. I blame the media when they sit on emails and IMs between a congressman and an aide and blame the GOP for "knowing a doing nothing".
The MSM is the house organ for the DNC.
Helen Thomas' face could stop a clock.
If McCain loses, conservatives will be blamed. If he wins, moderates and independents will be credited.
"Losers will always blame the media."
And those losers would always be right!
There are good reasons that the loser blames the media though. If the loser is the GOP, then the media generally deserves the blame.
If the loser is the Dem, though, they blame the media because Dems lie.
Ha! I just cannot read that old Arab.
Stop a clock? Helen Thomas' face could stop time!
Hee hee he...I was waiting for that one....
Eleanor Roosevelt once said to be first lady you have to have the skin of a rhinoceros.
The she would be right twice a day. LOL.
Any truth to the rumor that Thomas played the part of the monster in that Cloverfield movie?
That's one qualification the author may have in spades.
Thank you, thank you, that photo almost redeems the thread...... though I'm still mystified to live in a world in which Helen Thomas and Megan Fox are considered to be of the same species.
I think Ugly People have a good case to blame the media!!!!

"Brig - a gem in the Alps" Top 5 Page for this destination Brig by PartyRambo
Brig Travel Guide: 56 reviews and 266 photos
I stopped in Brig by mistake, actually... I had friends from Switzerland and thought one of them had come from Brig, so I wanted to call her parents & say hello!
However, it turned out not to be, but I wasn't disappointed, as it's a lovely place to wander the afternoon away.
My single favourite photograph taken in Europe was here, a beautiful mediaeval side street (but I had to wait for the motorcycles to pass before snapping away...)
There didn't seem like much to do here, but it was a break from driving through the endless Alps.
