I see Suter coming here for sure....others are up in the air. Holland will need to fill at least ONE top 6 role. I am still hoping for a Nash trade, but we all know the list of UFA's for plan's B - Zzz. Most important is Suter hands down, bar none, the juckf****** pott...
As am I. Put Nash on Datsyuk's line all year and he's a 50+ goal scorer. He's making $7.8 mil, but its looking like Parise is going to cost that much and Nash is a much better goal scorer than Parise. Plus, I think a trade like this would really shake up this franchise which really hasn't changed since winning the Cup in '08. Sometimes a shake up is needed. We lost Dino Ciccarelli, Keith Primeau and Paul Coffey in one off season who were big parts of our success and just added Brendan Shanahan, but that was a needed shake up that gave more ice time to guys like Draper, McCarty and Lapointe that made us different to play against and a better playoff ready team and we went on to win back to back Cups.

There's no such thing as overpriced. Salaries have gone up as the cap has hyperinflated and other teams are managing to sign top players and be competitive so it's no excuse. There are no excuses, they've all run out.
Make or break tomorrow. It should be exciting, at the very least.

Sounds about right, IMHO - though I'd change Semin to Parise, because I think we have as good a shot as any club with him, and I don't really like the idea of hoping for Semin.
I just feel like parise will resign him. I know they have money problems but I think they'll find a way to get it done.

I predict Nashville will sign Gustad to a 4 year 13M deal.
I guess Twitter and TSN helped with that prediction? Wow...$3.25 for a 4th liner. Is it just me, or are the other teams over paying just in order for the Wings to significantly over pay to get what they need/want. Gonna have to open the check book up this time Kenny.

To go down on a woman is to start her off with nice, long, passionate kisses on the lips, and then down to her neck, and then down to her breasts where you have your pleasure with them, and then you kiss your way across her tummy, and finally, you have ultimate pleasure with orally pleasing her pussy.

Almost the same for a man or a woman. But, to "go down on" a guy is right to the point. You don't start with his lips...It's immediately penis in throat.

FRANKLIN - After 37 years of providing long term care and service to the community, Pendleton Manor is in danger of closing if structural repairs and renovations aren't undertaken, according to County Commissioner Gene McConnell, who serves on a $3 million fundraising committee.
A Virginia engineering firm's structural analysis of a section of the original building concluded that the brick face wall is separating from the concrete block base, both of which are load-bearing. The steel ties that connect the two are corroding and disintegrating. This loss of support is leading to structural instability causing bulges and holes in the brick face wall, McConnell said.
"If nothing is done and the building becomes unsafe, the state will close the facility," McConnell said.
"In addition to the structural issues, there are updated building and contemporary care standards that will be required once any modernization program is undertaken," McConnell added.
Pendleton Manor, Inc. opened in Dec. 1975 as a community owned 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. It is governed by an uncompensated board of directors comprised of Pendleton citizens committed to the concept of ensuring senior citizens receive professional care while remaining close to home and family, McConnell said.
Managed by the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, a non-profit organization headquartered in Sioux Falls, S.D., the home is licensed to care for 91 residents and employs 145 full- and part-time staff members with an annual payroll of $3.5 million.
In addition to long-term care, the facility offers additional services of home health care; physical, speech and occupational therapy; health fairs; and cottages offered to clients by a purchase/buyback agreement.
The board of directors has appointed a capital campaign steering committee to raise $3 million to alleviate the structural problems and upgrade the facility. Members include Dr. and Mrs. H. Luke Eye, Don Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Vandevander, Carrie Schultz, Colleen Plaugher, Larry Thomas, Paula Mitchell, Carolyn Simmons and Manor Administrator David O'Boyle.
Today's care requires more equipment and technical support than the current building is equipped to handle. Bathrooms are too small to accommodate lifts used to reduce staff injuries, rooms are too small for larger beds needed for proper care, Resource Development coordinator Carolyn Simmons said.
"Old plumbing and electrical wiring can start causing problems. Also years ago, people lived altogether differently in family situations with limited space. Now everybody wants their own space, if possible," Simmons noted.
If only the brick was fixed, the building still would have to come up to specifications, such as wind-bearing load standards that have changed in the past 37 years.
"These things have been grandfathered in until we open the walls. So when we open the walls we should remodel to provide care that feels more like home and allows staff to do their work more effectively and efficiently," Simmons said.
Pendleton Manor received a 2013 Safety and Health Recognition Achievement status by the state Division of Labor Safety, OSHA Division as being a model for worksite safety and health.
The fundraising project will be in three sequential stages to ensure minimal upset to the current residents. The first $1 million will remodel the 200 wing including a bathing spa, rooms configured to provide more privacy and functional space, an updated nurses' station and a central supply area.
The second $1 million will do the same for the 100 wing and include a living room to socialize with family and friends, a staff break room and storage space for resident care equipment. The third $1 million will provide renovation for an updated memory care unit for residents with cognitive and memory problems.
Pendleton Manor is a 100-percent community-owned facility with no financial assistance available from the government or any other entity. Since 90 percent of the revenue is derived from Medicare and Medicaid, with an uncertain regulatory future, the board has decided that "going into debt is not an option," McConnell said.
Pendleton Manor is a community asset providing an essential existing need, officials said.
"Will the community step forward once again and act to preserve this vital component of Pendleton's infrastructure or will Pendleton Manor simply become another name on a list of businesses that 'used' to be here?" McConnell asked.

The 5 Most Notorious Joke Thieves on the Internet
People have been stealing jokes for as long as people have been telling jokes. Like almost everything else that society has deemed unsavory, joke thievery only became more widespread with the advent of the Internet. A comic doesn't just have to worry about other comics stealing his jokes now, but also an endless stream of bloggers and Twitter and YouTube users who, even after amassing a sizable following, operate in relative obscurity, delighting their thousands of fans who have no idea the things they're laughing at were written by other people.
Luckily, the other side effect of having an Internet box in every home is that getting away with shit like that forever is next to impossible, as these five joke-stealing creeps eventually learned.
These are the five most brazen joke thieves in social media history.
#5. Fred Thompson Forgets That Some of Us Can Still Afford Cable
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News/Getty Images
In the days after President Obama's 2010 speech about the BP oil spill, former senator and forever Law & Order rerun marathon star Fred Thompson took to Twitter and displayed some of that razor-sharp wit he's always been known for.
Alex Wong/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Seen here doing his famous "If Obama Was Hitler" bit at the RNC.
Except that's not true, because no one expects wit or humor from Fred Thompson, which is exactly why this outpouring of spontaneous Internet comedy ...
Classic Thompson?
... caught the attention of a writer at Fishbowl LA. Most likely employing the technological voodoo magic of sites like Hulu and HBO GO, she was able to uncover the true source of Fred Thompson's newfound comedy chops: He was lifting jokes from episodes of The Colbert Report and Real Time With Bill Maher that had aired within the last few days.
It's a joke about vuvuzelas, you probably don't want to watch the video.
To be fair, when it comes to knowledge of modern technology, I suspect Fred Thompson is probably the kind of guy who couldn't successfully call 911 on a Jitterbug without letting out a few frustration swears and lamenting the days when "a phone was just a phone."
The same cellphone the Founding Fathers used.
So it's highly unlikely that he's personally responsible for the comedy crime in question here, and that just makes what happened even less forgivable. To think that this heist would be successful requires the responsible party to honestly believe that a person who follows Fred Thompson on Twitter and a person who watches Colbert or Bill Maher could not possibly be one and the same.
That's the kind of narrow-minded view of the modern political landscape that you'd normally only expect from ... well, someone who would use their bullshit social media degree to land a job running Fred Thompson's Twitter page, I guess.
#4. Ironically Mustached Minister Ironically Forgets Ten Commandments
South Carolina minister and Twitter sensation @ProdigalSam (Sammy Rhodes, to his flock) had a not-too-shabby following of over 130,000 that he seemingly built the right way ... by consistently tweeting funny things.
Except there was a minor hitch. As it turned out, a lot of those "hilarious" tweets were stolen from other Twitter users, both famous and obscure. Take that duck joke, for example. If you have any doubt about what inspired it, check out the second name in the list of people who retweeted this:
He actually repeated the tweet several times over the ensuing months using a litany of different animals.
So if nothing else, at least give him credit for understanding exactly how Internet comedy works.
That said, while it's true that both sides are wrong because everyone knows that ducks and giraffes just use their armlike necks to hug, that definitely doesn't make what @ProdigalSam did any less shady.
Besides, we're not just talking about one tweet. As was pointed out by Patton Oswalt and an entire fucking Tumblr blog, Sammy Rhodes had been stealing from lots of people for a long time.
He didn't see it that way, of course, and like many other religious types, he wasn't going to let an abundance of evidence to the contrary stop him from sharing his mistaken beliefs with the world. In his mind, most of his offenses could be chalked up to a simple case of parallel thought. Just two people happening upon the same idea. Kind of like how I wanted to point out that changing the word "duck" to "giraffe" and claiming it as all-new comedy gold is a lot like the absurd logic Vanilla Ice used to explain why the ghost of Freddie Mercury had no cause to sue him for stealing the "Ice Ice Baby" bass line from a Queen song:
The problem is, after coming up with that joke, a little further research revealed that the lovely and talented Jake Fogelnest beat everyone else to it.
So I guess I can't use it now, but the fact that we both landed on that same premise doesn't mean I intentionally set out to steal from him. It just means that it's a goddamn fantastic joke that deserved way more retweets, and also that we're both old enough to vividly remember that Vanilla Ice interview. I suspect he beat a lot of people my age to that joke when this story got huge.
It's way harder to claim simple coincidence when the premise is something like ducks hugging, though. So what was Sam's excuse in all of those cases? Why, he was just "riffing" on ideas originally put forth by his "Twitter heroes" (as if referring to Twitter users as "heroes" isn't also an egregious affront to comedy).
Unsurprisingly, no one bought his lies, and Sammy Rhodes was eventually forced to disappear into the Twitter ether.
There's no telling where @ProdigalSam might be these days, but wherever he is, I sincerely hope he's all right with me using so many of his tweets in this article.
#3. British TV Presenter Suggests Stealing as a Career Path
Tim Whitby/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Have you ever heard of Keith Chegwin? No, you haven't? Cool, that makes approximately 316.4 million of us. In fact, there are going to be a lot of names you don't recognize in this entry, but when the story came up during my research for this article, I knew I had to use it, because it demonstrates an unfortunate truth about the entertainment industry in general.
See, while plenty of people like @ProdigalSam are outed as thieves and disappear quietly, some simply brush off the accusations en route to building an entire career around stealing the work of others.
England was already well-versed in this shameless-thievery-as-entertainment business model after spending the last couple decades or so pretending every Oasis song wasn't at least 35 years old by the time the band got around to "writing" it.
Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"Actually, [unintelligible British mumbling in defense of plagiarism]."
So there's a good chance most of the country took it in stride when Chegwin, a British TV presenter (the job title England bestows upon all its out-of-work actors) was called out for tweeting jokes that were obviously stolen from other British comics whose names you also would not recognize. He claimed all of the jokes were either his own creation or "public domain"-type jokes from comics who had long since died, which, apparently, means they no longer get to claim ownership of their work. Many of his peers, like Irish standup comic Ed Byrne, vehemently disagreed. Here's a quote:
"I think you're wrong not crediting your sources. Of the last four jokes you tweeted one was Milton Jones and one was Lee Mack. Both working comics."
See? I told you there would be names you didn't recognize.
Ben Pruchnie/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
I'm guessing Milton Jones is famous for making this face in every picture.
That doesn't matter, though, because stealing is stealing, and everyone knows that shit is wrong. At least that's how it would work in a perfect world. Unlike @ProdigalSam, there would be no lame attempts from Keith Chegwin at justifying his actions as something innocent. Rather, he took the same path that the aforementioned Oasis chose when settling practically any dispute, which is just an unnecessarily Gallagher-brother-bashing way of saying he was a dick about things, tweeting this douchey bullshit in his defense:
"Always been honest about my gags, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. Most of the gags are my own & some I remember from old. If ya don't like it 'UNFOLLOW'."
Bruno Vincent/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
He also invented kneeing dudes in the balls.
If anyone was taken aback by his apparent lack of empathy for the comics he'd stolen from, they had absolutely no reason to be. In an interview just a year earlier, Chegwin dished out this advice to young up-and-comers:
"If you've not got your own, nick a gag! That's what all the top comedians do."
There you have it, unfunny whores of the world. Go forth and conquer comedy. In fact, if the plan doesn't work in England, there's another country that might put up with your five-finger-discounting shenanigans.

ORANGEBURG — If you haven't gotten pecans for the holidays, you had best get cracking.
Heavy rains earlier this year have put a big dent in South Carolina's pecan crop, and, as demand increases, including from China, prices for the prized holiday nuts are likely to rise.
Perry Arant, whose OMC Feeds company shells the sweetmeats for small growers, says his storeroom should be bursting this time of year.
"We've hardly seen any nuts yet," said Arant during a recent tour of his "Nut House" in Orangeburg.
The small building, located on the grounds of the OMC Feeds operation he co-owns, encloses a storeroom and several processing machines that would normally be clanging as the pecans and their shells are cracked and separated.
"By now, we should have been almost 100 percent full," Arant said of his empty store room. Arant said a few growers have trickled in as Thanksgiving has approached, but only about three or four a day at most.
David Haynes, an Orangeburg resident who dropped by with a small bag of nuts to crack and sell, said the pecan trees on his land just weren't producing this year.
"The trees, they just look sick to me," said Haynes, adding, "Last year, we got lots more than this."
South Carolina Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture Martin Eubanks said heavy rains this past spring came when the nut trees were pollinating, harming the formation of the nutmeats inside the shells. And besides, the pecan trees appeared to be in a year to yield less, even without the rains, Eubanks said.
While the proper use of fertilizers can help crops produce a higher yield in an alternate year, this year's rainfall and crop cycle became a one-two punch that seems to have hit South Carolina pecan growers particularly hard.
"We just had too much rain at the wrong time," said Arant.
Freddy Felder, owner of the Orangeburg Pecan Co., said what he has seen come in so far just doesn't measure up.
"This year has been very disappointing," said Felder.
His business, which has been in the family since 1939, turns to producers from other states if need be so he can maintain a quality product, particularly for the nuts he sells via the internet.
Felder's company website tells the tale of pecans as "an uniquely American product," grown in the South from the Carolinas to Texas.
He said some Carolina residents tell him they are partial to the taste of the pecans that grow in South Carolina, compared to those from Texas, Oklahoma or New Mexico, which grow in more arid soils.
"We think the Southeastern pecan is preferred" because of a higher oil content that produces a richer taste, Felder said.
Pecans come in 23rd on the list of major crops in South Carolina as compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Statistics Service.
Lamar Jenkins of the Southeastern Pecan Growers Association said crops in Georgia also were hit by periodic heavy rains this past year. The rains, coupled with a lack of sunshine, created a "loss of about 20 percent of the crop" and also caused some quality issues.
Jenkins, whose organization represents growers in states from North Carolina through Alabama, said some states weren't affected by the rains. Western states such as California and New Mexico appear to be doing much better, he said.
"There's a lot of pecans out West" this year, Jenkins said.
While the total numbers of this year's crop won't be in for some weeks, Jenkins said a big crop can amount to 300 million pounds, an average at about 230 to 250 million and a small crop around 200 million. He said he couldn't hazard a guess about this year's.
Some processors have been able to use pecans stored from last year, he said, so this year's problems may not show up in the stores until next year.
"Every year is different and it all depends on the weather," he said.
Bill Yandle, who helps run his family's Yandle's Roadside Market in Columbia, came to Felder's Orangeburg warehouse to pick up about 300 pounds of pecans.
"In a good year, I can sell 2,000 pounds," said Yandle, who added that he'd be back for more, if he can get them.
"My customers want to start baking as soon as they can get 'em," he said, heading out the door with a hand cart loaded with cases of pecans.
Eubanks said additional pressure on the market is coming from China, where residents have developed a fondness for the American product.
"There just might be some pecans in shorter supply this year, and prices a bit higher," the agriculture official predicted. "My advice is to get 'em while you can, and put 'em in the freezer if you want them for that holiday pecan pie."

Progenex Cocoon Even Better with Ice Cream - Breaking News!
Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 02:14PM
Occasionally, in the evening before bed, after a tough workout day, a scoop of ice cream (softened in a microwave), with two scoops of Cocoon stirred in, makes a wonderful pudding. For me, I'm sure it's a guilt-erasing tactic, fooling myself that the insulin spike from the ice cream helps the protein jam itself into my muscles more efficiently. Whatever it is, it's deliciously non-Paleo but very, very nice. @progenex, @ben&jerrys

I'm feeling extra guilty about it lately because my husband should be Hubby Of The Year and he has me for a wife. Or maybe that is why he should be Hubby Of The Year- because he has me for his wife. Oh I don't know who else could put up with me!
This weekend was extra crabby for me and he made everything as easy for me as possible. He washed the dishes every single time there was a dirty plate or cup in the sink. He let me escape for hours on Saturday and Sunday. And still I couldn't get over my cantankerous self.
Well, it's Monday. A good day to start fresh. I've promised to take my St. John's Wort again and just get over myself already. I'm married to the Hubby Of The Year after all. And I need to show up and make something of my title as the honorable wife of Hubby Of The Year. He deserves it. And so do I.

'The hostess is flirting with you," my wife said. "That's not a good sign." Let me clarify. She was not suggesting that the pleasant young woman behind the lectern at Neighborhood Services had displayed an appalling lack of taste. At least I don't think that's what she meant. Rather, she suspected that the hostess was trying to butter me up as the wait for our reserved table stretched to 40 minutes and beyond one recent hectic Friday evening. Certainly there was little solace, and no room, to be found at the bar, a scrum of similarly thwarted patrons.
So we were plenty grumpy by the time we were ushered to our table in the clangorous dining room. But then the food started coming. First to arrive was the aptly, exactly named "pile of crispy Essex clams."
As it happens, I love fried clams, but it is an ardor cooled by frequent disappointment. On one end of the spectrum are fried clam strips, as popularized by the late and largely unlamented Howard Johnson's restaurants. They're tasty but stringy and chewy, like deep-fried rubber bands. At the other end are clam bellies, which are nice and clammy but disturbingly … soft. The fried clams at Neighborhood Services are somehow perfect: tender but solid, oceanic and sweet, perfectly fried in a light, crisp golden coating made with pulverized polenta and flour, accompanied by a tartar sauce brightened with pickled green tomato. "Wow, these are good!" we shouted at each other over the crowd's roar.
Nick Badovinus, the owner and chef of this now 4-year-old hot spot on West Lovers Lane (and proprietor of a growing culinary empire), works similarly deft magic with his "cult favorite Texas quail."
These little birdies, so often overcooked, come out perfectly juicy and tender, bathed in a zippy, smoky barbecue sauce. They're accompanied by coleslaw that's spiked with Point Reyes blue cheese, which sounds weird but is, trust me, truly wonderful.
The attentive, professional servers here are eager advocates of the food, and you can expect them to wax particularly enthusiastic about the flatbread, a puffy, crusty pizza-ish base for a changing assortment of toppings. One night, the flatbread with Benton country ham from Tennessee, sliced Honeycrisp apples and sharp cheddar, was a nice balance of salty and sweet, crisp and cheesy. Another version featured house-made mozzarella and ricotta, plus white cheddar, each in its own section, with dollops of unctuous oxtail marmalade. It seemed like much effort for not much reward — a lot of hard-to-tell-apart white cheese. But give me the oxtail marmalade and a spoon.
A near miss of a starter was the fried little asparagus. The spears came robed in a lovely, light batter and drizzled with a creamy roasted lemon and dill dressing but needed better trimming: Their stem ends were tough and stringy. Better to go for the juicy, slightly messy butcher's meatballs, which come lined up in a little trough of a plate, like the tray that ambitious dinner hosts serve olives in.
This menu has some oddities. There is, for example, "the fish program," which refers not to a televised rerun of Finding Nemo but to rotating nightly piscine specials, one each from the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico. (The wine list, similarly, is called the "beverage program.") The Atlantic offering one evening was a carefully sautéed piece of redfish over creamy Israeli couscous.
There's also a rotating list of nightly specials, from Monday's veal piccata to Saturday's mixed grill. Friday's special, the pounded pheasant Milanese, was a little disappointing: The meat seemed bland and merely chickeny, without the gamy richness of pheasant.
Ah, but I would forgive Badovinus anything for his London broil. The first bite of this sliced flatiron steak had me rolling my eyes heavenward: It's some of the best beef I've had anywhere. The meat has a salty, vividly smoky char from its grilling over mesquite charcoal and white oak. As is often the case with this cut, it's deeply beefy. But as is much harder to achieve, Neighborhood Services' version is also tender.
It comes drizzled with "original voodoo peppercorn sauce," a Worcestershire and Crystal Hot Sauce reduction with butter and cream, and accompanied by a tangle of dandy crispy shoestring french fries.
It's a good thing that steak is so wonderful, because it makes up for a couple of real disappointments here. A nightly special, the "by-hand noodle," might suggest to you thin ribbons of egg-based dough, rather than the gnocchi we had one night and the pappardelle on another. But Neighborhood Services is a temple of New American cuisine (there's a list of more than 30 American whiskeys, for example), and mostly, that means the food is direct, honest, and absent of any foofiness. In this case, I guess the word pasta is too foofy. But whatever you call it, it was a clumsy mess on both occasions. The sauce, a savory braise of short ribs both times, had simply been dumped on top of the pasta, with no mixing or sautéing to bring the elements together. The gnocchi steamed and partly dissolved, turning into glue; the pappardelle fused together into thick, leaden clumps.
Fortunately, those are rare missteps. And you can always console yourself by finishing off the meal with the butterscotch pot de crème, a rich, thick custard burnished with a beautiful, slightly bitter edge of caramelization.
And the long wait for a table excepted, this is a smooth, tightly run operation. The engaging servers are nattily turned out in long white aprons and white sweater vests. Each of those vests is emblazoned with the Neighborhood Services crest, an eagle rampant that looks vaguely Eastern European chauvinist but turns out to have been an insignia Badovinus found on his skateboard. The brief wine list, which is heavy on pinots, cabs and chardonnays, includes some good choices under $60 and a number of options available by the glass. The long dining room features comfortable booths along the walls and well-spaced tables down the middle, with muted, golden lighting. The lighting is the only thing muted here, though: With nary a soft surface in sight, the room can be deafening at peak times. But there's a reason Neighborhood Services is loud and crowded: It's that good.

Latin America: A Challenge to the Common Lawyer

Journal of Legal Education, Vol. 21, p. 435, 1969
This article lays a foundation and challenge for a common lawyer wishing to advance knowledge about the legal systems in Latin America. It surveys the current state of research regarding Latin American legal institutions and obstacles to research, like the fact that there is no such cohesive or preordained or related body of laws that can be broadly labeled as Latin American law. Then it suggests the new approach that scholars must take, emphasizing immersion in the culture and study of law, as a jurist and not a tourist, as a foundation for a life of study. It concludes that the common lawyer can learn a great deal from Latin America while concomitantly contributing to Latin America.

Invited participants included: Richard Cooke of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama, Francisco Corrales Ulloa of the National Museum of Costa Rica, John Hoopes of the University of Kansas, Julia Mayo of the Fundación El Caño in Panama, David Mora-Marín of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Karen O'Day of the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire, Silvia Salgado of the University of Costa Rica, and Maria Alicia Uribe Villegas, director of the Gold Museum of Bogotá. Colleagues from the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and Museum Conservation Institute, as well as from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, joined Dumbarton Oaks staff and fellows in a lively and productive discussion.
The workshop set the stage for further synthetic essays in the catalogue, as well as future avenues for technical analysis of both stone and metal objects. One of the main objectives identified by participants was the need for an iconographic concordance based on photographs and drawings, as well as a visual, biological, and technological glossary to guide future research on the art and archaeology of the area.]]>
In different societies, dreams can be many things: a view into the future, a manifestation of the past, a means of approaching the divine, a mechanism for healing, a plot device, a medieval cinema, a complex means of communication, or an alternative plane of existence. We have simply not determined which of these are pertinent to Byzantium. We invited a sleep-scientist, a psychoanalyst, an anthropologist, the directors of the database, and experts in phantasia, dreams and prophecy, and Byzantine dream-theory. We did not ask them to give papers (though some explained their methodology), but to respond to dream narratives presented by philologists, historians and art historians in the audience. In fact there was no audience, since almost everyone presented a dream as well as responding to dreams brought by others. We read an amazing array of dreams, visions, fantasies in histories, letters, saints' lives, miracle collections, manuscript illuminations and monumental art. We compared the narratives with ascetic theory and with alien abduction accounts. We saw dreams as homosocial communication, as plot devices, as releasers of emotion, as validation for political acts, as pointers to court allegiances. Debates raged on Freudian and other approaches, on terminology, and on the relationship between dreams and the text. We decided that we were at the beginning, rather than the end, of something and hope to draw others into our discussion, which we shall carry out on the web. Watch our website for the appearance of the dream-narratives!]]>

As a younger man, Matthew Polly traveled to the Shaolin Temple in China and spent two years training with the monks who had invented the ancient art of kung fu. Fifteen years later, his weakness for Chinese takeout and Jack Daniel's had taken its toll. Firmly into middle age and far removed from his past athletic triumphs, Polly decided to risk it all one last time. Out of shape and over the hill, he jumped headlong into the world of MMA.
In Tapped Out, Polly chronicles his grueling yet redeeming two-year journey through an often misunderstood sport. From Thailand to Russia, Manhattan to Las Vegas, Polly studied with the best trainers, concluding with a six-month fight camp at Randy Couture's legendary gym. He explores the history of fighting sports and joins a fascinating subculture of men who roll around on sweaty mats with one another in appreciation of the purity of contained combat. And in the end, Polly straps on the gloves, gets into the cage, and squares off with a fighter fifteen years younger.An honest and humorous look at a hard-core sport, Tapped Out is a fascinating look into the fastest growing sport in America and what it takes to be an MMA fighter.

Happy Full Moon on 5 May!
Good Morning, Hi Diane... I waited to post this at the start of a new week so it would help to carry it on for a while, and those who may not have seen it on BJags Sponsor Page.
There are some photo's too on BJags page.
Thanks for watching :)
NiteOwl: Wonderful!!!
NiteOwl: Just wonderful!! Thank you SO MUCH! What a thrill. :-))
Oh - and thanks Diane for starting the week off. :-)
Joan, I hope you have a great birthday!
Saw-Whet Owl
For some reason, I'm really tired. I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow. Everyone have a great Sunday!
Morning all.
OMG we have a terrible storm here in S Wales that has come up from Spain!! Gales at about 60-70mph, maybe more, and heavy rain. Things in the garden have been thrown around and my garden arch is near to collapsing!! Car alarms are going off too!! :-(
Happy Birthday Joan. Loved your owl (last week).
Oh Sandra. Hope you are OK.
Our day started off warm & sunny. I sat in sun this morn for 20 mins and got quite hot!. Then had a walk around the back garden - my winter gladioli are flowering. Now (4 pm-ish) it is overcast and cooling. I've started on Dau1's jigsaw gift - half an hour to find the 4 corners. I'm sure there are more than 2,000 pieces in box. LOL. Alas OH has not been feeding my backyard birds. They must wonder what's happened as I always fed them when I was preparing evening meal. Must go & do it now.
Hello All
I am going start working today on the SUMMARY of Black Jaguar's (Brians) Charity Cycle from LG to Rutland Water, to include Routes/Maps/His Updates/Photographs/Videos only, so it would be nice if we could keep it as a summary and that no one posts in it, I hope this is OK with everyone. It will be a nice reminder of the great event without having to trawl through the many posts that we have all made in his Cycle thread.
Thanks - Mary x
Link to the summary of BJags Charity Cycle so far.
Morning all,
Sandra : It sounds really bad down your way. It has been raining here for 24
hours apart from a short spell late yesterday afternoon.
OG : Sounds like you had a really good day yesterday weather wise. There is no way I could do any outside painting this month as it has rained every day.
Dibnlib : Of course it was the Caledonian canal. The Crinan canal is nowhere near you. Must have been a senior moment.
Day 25 of the hosepipe ban.
We have had 24 hours of rain and especially last night it was heavy and windy too. So much so that it has ripped the felt on part of the shed that Hamish lives in. I had to squelch across the garden and do a temporary fix this morning in the pouring rain. IT is still heavy rain at the moment with the temp at only 6c.
The first thing I did when switching on the laptop was to check the nest at Rutland Water. I was so relieved to see it was still intact and Mrs 5R incubating.
There are 7 flood warnings and 76 flood alerts many in drought areas. We must be the laughing stock of Europe. How do Greece and Turkey manage without declaring droughts. The whole thing is a joke.
We never seem to be prepared for anything
Good morning all and happy birthday Joan.
AQ: Saw your post about Black Caviar winning her 20th race. I've managed to see a number of her victories (can't really call them races as she's won them all so convincingly) and she looks to be something special. So pleased that she'll be carrying on the tradition of Aussie horses taking on the best of Europe at Royal Ascot.
Alan: We broke the April rainfall record here last Thursday and it's rained almost constantly since. I have to go out later but I may have to cut short my visit as I'm starting to get concerned about the local river levels. We are extremely prone to flooding here and I'm crossing my fingers that the flood defences hold up.
Sandy : I am not surprised about the river levels. We are fortunate that we are not near any rivers. I hope everything stays ok for you.

Baby Boomers: Take the time to know the Gen-Xers
The key to a successful future
Bob O'Hara, CPA/PFS, MST, CExP™
Founder, O'Hara & Company
Chelmsford, Massachusetts
While the U.S. economy makes strides to recover, industries today (within both the public and private sectors) may feel the urgency for an in-house succession plan to be certain their business is headed in the right direction—to build business value, create strong process and management, and secure a future for themselves as well as their key employees.
With a recovery in many industries, encouraging as it is, it also creates a question for the "Baby Boomer" owner/manager eyeing exit plans and preparing to leave—is there enough trained and experienced talent to adequately fill their shoes upon succession?—with the added concern that those who have "all the right stuff" may decide to leave, or those new to the industry may be lured by a competitor or another industry type.
The statistics are clear: 78 million Baby Boomers are planning their retirement. The challenge is, who will be superseding these business owners/employees today and in the coming years?
There is a shortfall in recruitment, as the next generation of business owners/managers—the Gen-Xers—are at a staggering low of 49 million, clearly not being able to replace the Baby Boomer workforce. Competition for the Xers' talent is staging up to be very intense due to the significantly lower numbers of available key employees in this generation.
Now is the time for the Baby Boomers to take a look at this next generation, as the Gen-Xers are waiting in the wings, ready and able to begin work, assume leadership positions and operate businesses. It is imperative today to ensure the time to recruit new employees and identify your key employees—those with all the right stuff—and start a conversation about what their future within the company holds.
Without this conversation, your valued key employee may depart to secure a successful future. Communication can make the difference between staying for the long haul or leaving for another opportunity.
It is critical to create a Key Employee Incentive Plan
Key Employee Incentive Planning is not just about financial techniques, but more importantly the process the business owner goes through to create and then manage the plan. Therefore, it's in a business owner's/manager's best interest to identify one to three people who have successor potential and create long-term incentive plans as part of a complete compensation package that includes not only financial incentives, but also individualized benefits to secure solid business value.
While the general imperative is to establish an environment in which these key staff members can substantially share in the company's value and profits, particularly over the long term, be aware that compensation means different things to different people. Certainly, regular salary increases is one way to motivate and retain staff, but most high-level employees would likely agree that work satisfaction is defined by more than a hefty paycheck.
Chosen potential successors have already demonstrated their engagement and commitment to the organization—otherwise they wouldn't be on the short list to eventually take over. But they will become even more invested within their roles if the business owners/managers clearly communicate how they, as key employees, will be rewarded by sharing in the value they help create.
One of the many factors in creating, motivating, and keeping good employees is a properly designed incentive plan. To be successful, an incentive plan must motivate the key team to increase the value of the company in a measurable way.
Long-term incentive plans should consist of a number of components so that employees have a diversified package; the more attractive this package is, the more difficult it will be for key employees to entertain an offer to leave the company.
Successful plans share four basic elements. First, the plan is specific. The key employees know, in advance and in writing, what standards need to be met to receive the incentive.
Second, the incentive is substantial. The key employees must perceive it as a substantial incentive worth achieving. This substantial amount is only awarded upon the attainment of the performance standards set by the business owner.
Third, the plan should tie the key team to the business so that, regardless of who owns the company, these individuals have an incentive to remain with the business. Payments of these incentive plan awards to the key employees are not immediate. There should always be some type of vesting schedule associated with any incentive plan award. Normally, a continual or "rolling" vesting schedule is used; this approach requires each year's award to vest on a separate schedule. Using this type of schedule will tie the key employees to the business longer as they are never fully vested in the most recent awards.
Fourth, the key employees should receive the incentive award based on performance standards that, when attained, increase the value of the business. This element is critical to a properly designed incentive plan.
Also, it cannot be overstated that employers should consult with a legal and financial advisor when establishing any incentive program.
Remember to create a work environment that encourages longevity and recognize that most employees are motivated by an atmosphere that acknowledges skill, allows for active participation in decision-making, provides opportunities for professional growth, and supports financial comfort now and in retirement.
Bob O'Hara is the founder of O'Hara & Company, a leading financial firm that specializes in guiding businesses through their exit planning process while building sustainable business value, as well as the creator of a national educational website for business owners, www.exitplanning-edu.com.

One aspect Christian James loves about photography is paying attention to those little things someone usually wouldn't notice.
"When I was in Nova Scotia, waiting to photograph a lighthouse, a seagull would fly by every day, drop a crab on the rocks and eat the meat out of it. I had to keep cleaning the crabs out of the shot," said James, who lives in Altoona. "I was there for 10 days, and that seagull would do that every day. Those are the little details you wouldn't notice unless you are waiting for the perfect picture to happen."
That attention to minute detail - on a grand scale - will grace the walls of the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Altoona through Sept. 7 in his exhibit of landscape photographs, "Journey of a Lifetime." The museum is located in the Brett Building at 1210 11th Ave. in the downtown area of Altoona.
Article Photos
Courtesy photo
In this picture provided by Christian James, the photographer works in Utah in 2012.
In the background is a photograph Christian James took called "Key West, Fla." The picture is part of James' current exhibit at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Altoona.
"His landscapes are so inspiring that you actually want to travel to the places that he is showing," said Barbara Hollander, coordinator at SAMA-Altoona. "His compositions are strong. His use of color is fabulous. He is showing us things that we normally wouldn't see. When you're passing by in a car, it's so fleeting, but here, you can gaze at it as long as you want."
A native of Everett, James loved hiking and going to national parks. As an extension of that hobby, he bought "a decent camera" to document his outdoor adventures.
"I got good at [photography]," he said, "and I had a different perspective than most people. I found my technique about four years ago, and it's blown up and taken off."
Fact Box
If you go
What: "Journey of a Lifetime"
When: through Sept. 7
Where: Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Altoona, 1210 11th Ave., Altoona
Hours: The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
And with his background, he naturally gravitated toward landscapes.
"Landscape is the hardest [medium] to make it in, but the most rewarding," he said. "I never got in with portraits or weddings; that's actual work. A lighthouse never complains. These days, everyone has a pretty good camera, but with a landscape, when you see a great photo, it makes you step back and say, 'Wow.'"
James sometimes prepares for certain shots a few years in advance, using equipment and informational guides to determine when the perfect sunrise, sunset or situation will happen at a particular location. He travels for three or four months at a time in a small RV.
"It takes a lot of patience and resilience," he said. "It takes a lot to get a photograph. I ask myself why I am here, why is it unique, how can I add to this or subtract the negatives. When I go to new places, I spend time scouting it. There are times I know I am going to come back in three years.
"When it all comes together, with the perfect light, that's what it is all about. It takes a combination of luck, talent and preparation. It takes a lot of preparation. I don't just show up and everything comes together."
James' photographs have been exhibited in the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., and in San Francisco, and he is currently displayed in 160 galleries around the world. His work is also collected by such well-known people as investor Warren Buffett, actor Morgan Freeman and musicians CeeLo Green and will.i.am.
Despite such success outside of central Pennsylvania, James has never before exhibited in the area and knows it is difficult to receive recognition around your home.
"It's the hardest thing to do," he said. "If you're local, and you exhibit locally, people say, 'you must not be that good,' So you exhibit other places, and it starts to build."
Hollander was not at all familiar with James' work before the day he walked through the doors of SAMA-Altoona.
"I have been here for 10 years, and artists walk in all of the time and want to exhibit," Hollander said. "They have no background, and we are a nationally accredited museum. We can't just exhibit anybody.
"But Christian came in cold, and I looked at his work and knew it was fabulous."
James has four books of his work available, including one of his works in the "Journey of a Lifetime" exhibit, and he is currently working on a fifth book titled "Eyes Shut," consisting of photos of people he has encountered during his travels.
"Sometimes, I've passed a hitchhiker or homeless person, and I will pull over, give them some food and water, talk to them for a little bit and take a picture," he said. "That's what this book is.
"When you see a guy in shin guards and a chest protector pushing a shopping cart from New Jersey to California, or a guy dressed all in black in a black trench coat walking through the middle of Death Valley... some are very interesting people."

HOLLIDAYSBURG - A Hollidaysburg councilman recently made his way with others to Capitol Hill in an effort to protect charitable tax deductions.
Tim Beresnyak, a certified fundraising executive and development director for the Franciscans of the Third Order Regular in Hollidaysburg, and hundreds of nonprofit executives lobbied lawmakers last week about tax policies that encourage giving to help support critical programs and services for people in need, according to the Charitable Giving Coalition, a group of more than 50 nonprofit, charitable and other organizations, and the friars.
"Congress is seriously considering whether to retain, modify or eliminate the charitable deduction," a news release said. "The potential result: the loss of billions of dollars, which would impede the important work that nonprofits do for the millions of Americans who rely on them."
Beresnyak, who has worked in the nonprofit sector since 2000, represented the National Catholic Development Conference and the American Fundraising Professionals.
"Now is not the time to dismantle incentives that support the crucial work of nonprofits in our communities," Beresnyak said. "Congress and the Obama administration must recognize the value of the charitable deduction as a way to support a thriving, independent nonprofit sector that serves millions of people in every community in America."
A United Way public opinion poll of Americans found 79 percent believe reducing or eliminating the charitable tax deduction would have a negative impact on charities and the people they serve, the release said. Of those who would reduce charitable giving, 62 percent would have to reduce their contributions by 25 percent or more. Two out of every three are opposed to reducing the charitable tax deduction.
People gave nearly $300 billion to support charitable causes in 2011, according to Giving USA, the release said. Communities reap up to $3 in benefits for every $1 subject to charitable deduction, data suggests.
In 2011, 85 percent of nonprofits experienced higher demand for their services, according to the Nonprofit Finance Fund, the release said. The same demand is expected this year.
"Any caps or limits on charitable giving will have a devastating impact on charities and nonprofits," the release said. "If donors have less incentive to give to charities donations will decline, impeding the important work nonprofits do for the millions of Americans who rely on them. The fact is that those hit hardest by the economic downturn and unemployment will be hurt the most."
The Franciscans annually serve over 100,000 people through ministry in hospitals, schools, churches and retreat centers, and help to support charitable work in 17 countries, Beresnyak said.
"Without generous giving from individual donors, the friars would not exist here in Hollidaysburg, and due to our religious affiliation, we do not qualify for government grants and are reliant on individual contributors," he said. "We are just one small example. When you consider even larger nonprofit employers in the community like universities and hospitals, you really see how any change in charitable giving will have an impact on our region."
Lobby participants met with federal lawmakers and policymakers, including Sens. Robert Casey, D-Pa., and Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., and Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick, D-8th District.
"Sen. Casey's top priority during the fiscal cliff debate is protecting the middle class and keeping the economy growing," Casey spokesman John Rizzo said Friday.
"He has urged Republicans and Democrats to prevent the middle-class tax hike and extend the payroll tax cut for another year. Sen. Casey has voted to protect the charitable deductions in the past and believes that Congress needs to work towards a solution on this issue that does not unduly burden charitable organizations given the challenges these organizations face in a difficult economy."
State Sen. John H. Eichelberger Jr., R-Blair, is a supporter.
"I generally support a deduction for charitable giving under the current system," he said. "Ideally, a flat tax would be my preference, but that is not how the federal government operates today."
He believes a better means test for charitable work is needed, he said.
Beresnyak encourages people to contact their representatives on the matter of protecting charitable tax deductions.

Police have identified a suspect in a Modesto woman's death.
The victim, Eldoris Christian Graham, was dating Anthony Coxum. He was named as a suspect Friday.
Coxum is being held on unrelated charges in North Carolina.
Graham's mother reported her missing Dec. 15 when Graham didn't show up for work.
The 28-year-old's mom also had a voicemail from Graham, saying she was headed to the Bay Area with Coxum -- her live-in boyfriend.
Coxum, 36, told investigators he dropped Graham off there.
Officials said his story became inconsistent over time.
Graham's body was then found at the base of a foot bridge, about one week ago, in Modesto.
Coxum was driving Graham's car at the time of his arrest, officials said.

Ya, why should the Wings draft a TJ Oshie (#24) Matt Niskanen (#28) Steve Downie (#29) James Neal (#33) Marc Edourad Vlasic (#35) Paul Stastny (#44) when Jakub Kindl (#19) is available...Kenny seemed to do very well this last draft, but he blew it in 2005...God forbid he ever finds himself with a top 5 pick.
I know the draft is a gamble and a lot of teams drop the puck persay, but all this talk about how the team isn't young and great because of the Wings drafting in the 20's year after year, I find it funny how the one time he is in the teens, he blows it with a wasted player who won't be on this team too much longer....
Hindsight is easy in the drafting process. You could make a long list of misses and poor selections for every team in the league. Cherry-picking the Kindl move doesn't mean Holland can't draft. I would also argue that the gap between top-five and 19th is massive most years. It's very tough to blow drafting that high because the best prospects are typically can't miss.
26 teams also passed on Brendan Smith and that looks pretty promising going forward.

Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal Mix
Found this on Pinterest. Got to love that place? The things we find there are amazing. My husband enjoys this kind of oatmeal before work, so I thought it might be nice to make up some of our own! When I saw this I as thrilled!
When I made this, I learned it will make about 5 servings. I put them in individual bags, so my husband doesn't have to hassle with measuring out how much he needs.
It was SO easy to make. I mean EASY EASY. I will be making my own from now on! It's cheaper too. 😉
- 1 C. quick oats (grind in blender or food processor till finely ground)
- 1 C. quick oats (leave whole)
- 3/4-1C. brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. maple extract
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
- Combine brown sugar, maple extract, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Stir to combine the sugar and extract (a mixer is good for this). Add in oats and ground oats and stir it all together. Store in airtight container or individual baggies.
- Place 2/3 C. oatmeal mix in a bowl and add hot water to desired consistency.
- substitute vanilla extract for the maple and add 1/2 C. dried apple pieces.
- Package in individual baggies for quick, single serving sizes.
- Add more oats and ground oats to make a less sweet mix.
- Double, triple or quadruple the recipe and store in a large jar, scoop out what you desire to use.

Fe Crawford
Fe's Story
Fe Crawford had "graduated" – the breast cancer that brought her and her family from the Philippines to MD Anderson in 1990 had been in remission for four years.
Her new life in Houston, Texas, was good. "I was working as a nurse, busy raising my family, busy with church and volunteering at MD Anderson." But just when life seemed normal again, Fe began to experience shortness of breath.
The Diagnosis
"I called my doctor," Fe says. "I told him, 'Something is not right.' " She went to MD Anderson the following day. Seven days later, Fe Crawford was undergoing surgery for a new suspicious lung lesion.
Lung cancer was the diagnosis, and it was completely independent of the breast cancer Fe had before. "I was upset because I thought, 'Oh my God, I have to go through this again,' " she says.
Treatment from MD Anderson
Yet Fe had a great deal of faith in herself. "I told myself: 'I am going to lick this thing,' " she says. She also had faith in her team of doctors. "I knew whatever new treatment there was, they were going to make it available to me," she says. "I knew I was in the best hospital for cancer."
Fe's thoracic surgeon made the decision to remove part of her lung versus the entire lobe. Susan Knippel, Fe's nurse practitioner, explains: "Because of Fe's history of asthma and breast cancer, preserving as much lung as possible really gave her a functional advantage. And to ensure Fe's lung cancer does not return, her clinical care team continues to monitor her through follow-up appointments."
"Fifteen years," Fe says. "That's how long I've been cancer-free."
Life Now
Today, when Fe's not working as a hospice nurse, she's busy singing in her church choir, ballroom dancing with her husband and keeping up with her four grandchildren. "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for my family, my faith and my belief in the doctors at MD Anderson."
Fe still spends a great deal of time at MD Anderson. Not as a patient, though, but as a cancer support group volunteer. Fe says, "If I can contribute to even one person's recovery and survivorship, that is the greatest thing for me."

Functional Optical Fibers - Organic and Hybrid Structures
Ferenets, Marju
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2009-04-24
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication;801
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Faculty of Automation, Mechanical and Materials Engineering
Department: Department of Materials Science
Constant need for saving space and energy has led to the miniaturization of electronic devices and to the integration of such devices into various unconventional substrates like different kind of fibers. It has been proposed and in some cases already demonstrated that electronic devices such as light emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells, thin film transistors could be deposited straightto the fibers. Traditional textile fibers do not offer sufficiently stable and smooth base forelectronic devices. Plastic optical fibers (POF) that are flexible and of small size are suitable candidates for functional fibers and can be easily incorporated into the textile structure. POF could also enable to use light as an information carrier instead of typical electrical signals and would provide interesting lighting solutions. Such fibrous electronic devices however need new type of materials thats processing techniques would be compatible with cylindrical shape of the substrate and could be processable at temperatures suitable for plastic fibers. Inherently conductive polymers (ICPs) have opened the way to polymeric electronics thats driving force is the manufacturing of electronics at low cost on flexible substrates using solution processing methods such as printing or dip-coating. For some device components one has to still use inorganic materials that have nowadays been developed in a form compatible with plastic substrates and their processing conditions (e.g. indium tin oxide in a form of printing ink). The aim of this thesis is to study possibilities to combine unique properties of POF and ICPs in a form of functional optical fibers. This goal is realized by first studying manufacturing methods of POF as a substrate of functional fibers. In the second step of the research two different ICPs—polypyrrole (PPy) and poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT)—are studied as components of possible electronic devices. PPy films in a planar and fiber form are studied for transparent electrode application. Film formation is successful, but the results suggest that such PPy films have insufficient electrical conductivity and environmental stability for any real electronic device applications. PEDOT films are studied for ammonia sensor application in electrical and optical regime. It is demonstrated that PEDOT films can be used for detecting gaseous ammonia. Comparative study between the sensitivity of PEDOT: p-toluene sulfonate (PTS) and films made of commercially available aqueous dispersion of PEDOT:poly(styrene sulfonate) indicates that in situ polymerized PEDOT:PTS has better performance in sensor application due to its smaller counter-ion and larger surface area. Finally, a photovoltaic fiber based on a dye sensitized solar cell technology is demonstrated. This type of fiber acts as a fibrous photo-detector, but the obtained results are poor (short circuit current at nA level). Low performance of the photovoltaic fiber originates from the poor quality of a TiO2 layer and from the low intensity of light penetrating into the dye sensitized solar cell structure.
