Garden birds that are most in need of help could benefit from simple changes to how we manage our gardens, says the RSPB.
Results from the annual Big Garden Birdwatch survey 2013, released this week, shows that numbers of house sparrows, starlings and song thrushes, some of our best-loved and most familiar garden birds, have fallen in gardens. These are three red-listed species of the highest conservation concern that need our help the most, so the RSPB is advising how to manage gardens to support them.
The RSPB's Adrian Thomas, author of RSPB Gardening for Wildlife, said; "Gardens can offer a real lifeline for wildlife. Just doing a few simple things in our gardens can mean they provide food, shelter and nesting spaces for birds, which are most vital for the species that are struggling. Temperatures are still quite low across the country, so birds do need all the help they can get as we progress into the breeding season."
House sparrow: One of our most familiar garden birds but numbers of house sparrows recorded in the Big Garden Birdwatch have dropped by 63% since 1979*. Adrian says: "What sparrows really need are gardens full of insects. Try leaving some areas of grass to grow long. You can still give it neat edges and make a design feature of it, but crucially this will allow certain insects to thrive and the grasses to set seed. Or why not plant deciduous shrubs where are likely to gather for a good natter, and they love a vegetable patch too."
Starling: Starlings have suffered an 82 per cent drop in numbers in the Birdwatch since 1979*. Adrian says: "In summer starlings seek out insects such as beetles, flies, flying ants and worms, and especially leatherjackets, so gardens with a lawn will help. In autumn they love fruit like elderberries, so try planting an elder tree. You could also put up a starling nestbox high up on the shady side of a house, which is a large box at least 25cm deep with a 45mm round hole."
Song thrush: Song thrush numbers have dropped by 59 per cent since 1979*. Adrian says: "Plant berry-bearing bushes and try to avoid sweeping up all the leaf litter as they'll hop around in it, flicking over leaves to find food. They like moist and shady areas, and will really benefit from a garden full of worms and snails, so keep up the mulches in your flower beds, which will help you control weeds too."
Bullfinch: These are a shy but favourite garden visitor, especially the males with their bright pinkish chests. But 7 per cent fewer bullfinches were seen in the Birdwatch this year compared to ten years ago. Adrian says: "Nettles are not compulsory in wildlife gardening, but if you have space in your garden then this is one species that will thank you for a nettle-bed , as bullfinches do like the seeds, as well as areas of thick undergrowth. Nettles will benefit several butterfly species too, which have suffered terribly due to the relentless wet and cold weather last spring and summer."

Annie Pootoogook
|Annie Pootoogook
May 11, 1969
Cape Dorset, Nunavut, Canada
|September 19, 2016
(aged 47)
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
|Inuit, Canadian
|Sobey Art Award
Annie Pootoogook (May 11, 1969 – September 19, 2016) was a contemporary Canadian Inuit artist known for ink and crayon drawings of her life and community.[1]
Pootoogook was born on May 11, 1969, in Cape Dorset to a family of artists. Her mother, Napachie Pootoogook, was a graphic artist and her father, Eegyvudluk Pootoogook, was a printmaker and carver. She is the granddaughter of renowned artist Pitseolak Ashoona, the niece of printmaker Kananginak Pootoogook and the cousin of draughtsman Shuvinai Ashoona.[2]
Pootoogook moved to Ottawa from Cape Dorset in 2007,[2] where she lived with her partner William Watt.[3][4]
Pootoogook began drawing in 1997 with crayons and ink on paper. Her works portray contemporary Inuit life, juxtaposing intimate family scenes and home interiors with scenes of alcoholism and violence. Her influences include her mother, Napachie Pootoogook (died 2002), and her grandmother, Pitseolak Ashoona (died 1983), both of whom were accomplished artists.[1]
Her titles are deadpan, e.g. "Sadness and Relief for My Brother", "Memory of My Life: Breaking Bottles", or "Man Abusing His Partner". Inuit traditions appear in her work, such as her portrayal of women tanning animals hides or families in fishing camps.[1] The passage of time figures heavily in her work, represented by a clock with hands set in different positions in different drawings.[1]
"In the last 10 years of her life she did an absolutely extraordinary series of drawings where she talked about the darker side of traditional life and, in fact, did speak about things like spousal abuse," said Pat Feheley, owner of Feheley Fine Arts, a gallery in Toronto that represents Pootoogook.[5]
Art career[edit]
Pootoogook began her art career drawing in pen and coloured pencils at the age of 28 for the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative (now known as the Kinngait Studios) in Cape Dorset.[5] She has brought a new artistic viewpoint to contemporary Inuit art, in contrast to the more traditional treatments. Her work depicts contemporary experiences of a woman and an artist living in the Canadian North.[citation needed]
Her breakthrough came in 2006, when in November, she won the $50,000 Sobey Art Award, which is given to an artist 39 years old or younger who has shown their work in a public or commercial art gallery in Canada in the past 18 months. "Annie Pootoogook's work reflects both the current moment of a specific tradition and of a contemporary drawing practice," the curators and jury for the award said in a press release.[6] She also had a major solo exhibition, her first, in 2006 at The Power Plant in Toronto.[3] The exhibit, curated by Nancy Campbell, focused on mythology, community and the difficulties of life in the Arctic.
She exhibited at the 2007 Biennale de Montréal and in the same year she had works at both the Basel Art Fair and Documenta 12. Pootoogook was the first Inuit artist to participate in Documenta, held in Kassel, Germany.[5] In 2009 through 2010, the National Museum of the American Indian George Gustav Heyes Center in New York gave her a solo exhibit.[1] Most recently her work was part of the first major exhibition of Canadian contemporary art outside of Canada entitled Oh, Canada. Curated by Denise Markonish, the exhibit took place in 2012 at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and showcased 62 Canadian artists including the work of Pootoogook's cousin Shuvinai Ashoona[7][8] Pootoogook was the only professional artist from the Ottawa region represented in the exhibition.
Pootoogook was found dead in the Rideau River in Ottawa on September 19, 2016.[9]

Show #3978
Bill Murray, and Eagulls.
PLUS: response to the State of the Union; Warren Buffett challenge; an announcement from the NFL; the making of the Lombardi Trophy; Justin Bieber: Victim; a Top Ten List; and Todd the Intern Goes to Super Bowl Media Day.
" . . . . and now, the genius who trademarked 'The Big Game' . . . . . . . David Letterman!"
-"32 years ago tomorrow, I started in late night television on NBC. I'd still be there but I got fired for parking my car in Willard Scott's spot."
-"It now costs 49 cents for a first class stamp. I hope it cuts down on my hate mail."
In his State of the Union Address, President Obama outlined some very compelling proposals. We take a look at how Congress responded today.
We see a bunch of "No way, Jose" and "Forget about it" and "Not happening" and ending with
"Buy me a beer and we'll all celebrate."
Did you hear about Warren Buffett's NCAA bracket challenge? Now he's got another idea. This one seems ill-advised. We look.
ANNOUNCE: "Warren Buffett has fired up sports fans with his NCAA challenge: correctly fill out a March Madness bracket, and win a billion dollars. And now there's another chance to win! Mr. Buffett is also offering one billion dollars to anyone who correctly fills out a Super Bowl bracket!"
We see a two-teamed bracket between the Broncos and the Seahawks.
"Get going, America!
A message from Warren Buffett --- financial genius."
Dave was really excited about the Super Bowl, and then he saw this announcement from the NFL earlier today that was a bit upsetting. We take a look.
ANNOUNCE: "With looming uncertainty about the weather for Super Sunday, the NFL chose to take advantage of today's moderate temperatures, low winds, and clear skies, and held the Super Bowl championship game earlier this afternoon.
The NFL congratulates the Denver Broncos on their 27-24 victory.
See you at Super Bowl 49!"
A big attraction on Super Bowl Boulevard is the Lombardi Trophy that goes to the winning team. We have footage of the trophy being assembled.
Hey! It's that guy hammering on the tin pan! Tap tap tap tap tap . . . and then Paul and the band join in with "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain. This was a last second addition, a last second idea. I was fun to see and hear Paul jump in without knowing it was in the mix.
Justin Bieber has had several brushes with the law lately. We always hear about Justin being the perpetrator, but quite often he's the innocent victim. We take a look at this, something we call, "Justin Bieber: Victim"
We see a clip of Justin performing in concert. He is hit in the head with a water bottle.
We see a clip of Justin being attacked by a revolving door.
We see Dave grabbing for Justin's newly branded tattoo on his arm (June 21, 2013; #3693). Justin squeals, rightfully, "Hey hey hey hey!"
Dave feels bad about that now.
Please say hello to Todd, our intern.
Intern Todd runs out and sits in the guest chair.
DAVE: "How long have you been with the show?"
TODD: "5 years."
I guess he'll keep interning until he learns something.
We recently sent Todd out to Super Bowl Media Day to ask dumb questions to a bunch of football players who didn't want to be there. We take a look at Todd's fun report, highlighted by a guy who sort of looked like Joe Piscopo.
Great job by Todd.
TOP TEN: ATTRACTIONS ON SUPER BOWL BOULEVARD – The NFL has taken over a 13-block stretch in Times Square and reshaped, refigured, and renamed it to Super Bowl Boulevard. It's a whole bunch of football stuff. It's only 6 blocks south of here . . . but since it's not on the way to my car, I think I'll skip it.
10. The 3-D NFL Shower Experience
6. Sit On A Bench With Tim Tebow
4. Receive An Obscene Text From Brett Favre
1. Have An Actual NFL Equipment Manager Inflate Your Balls
Bill enters flying like Peter Pan. He sings the following as he soars like Spiderman high above the stage.
"I'm flying, look at me way up high,
Suddenly here am I, I'm flying.
I'm flying, I can soar.
I can weave and what's more,
I'm not even trying.
High up, and as light as I can be.
I must be a sight lovely to see.
I'm flying, nothing will stop me now.
Higher still look at how I can zoom around
Way up on the ground . . . . I'm flying."
What I wanted to see was Todd running around with cue cards for Bill to read while he flew without control or direction. I picture it like Bullwinkle Moose running with a bucket of water to catch Rocky the Flying Squirrel.
So, what's the deal with entering like Peter Pan? Bill says he's heard the NBC will be putting on another live theatrical performance like they did for the Sound of Music last December. This time, Peter Pan, and Bill feels as if he's just the guy for the lead. Following some nonsensical chit chat, Bill is re-lifted into the rafters, grabbing a coffee mug before liftoff.
Bill stars in the much-anticipated film "The Monuments Men" about a group of soldiers whose purpose is to recover stolen art during World War II and to protect that which had not yet been destroyed. It's certainly on my list of movies to see. Actually, it's probably on my list of movie to see. Yeah, my movie list is lucky to have more than one on it. "The Monuments Men" gives a new look at the subject of World War II, a war that's been examined to pieces. Clooney, Damon, Goodman, Murray, Blanchett, Bob Balaban – the weasel-ly NBC exec on Seinfeld, and the weasel-ly NBC exec on The Late Shift . . . and even Robert Crawley, the Earl of Grantham is in it, Hugh Bonneville.
Bill has grown a beard for his last movie. He's thinking of getting rid of it. Now seems like a good time. Dave was prepared for such and presents a towel and some clippers. Bill gets it started, and then Dave takes over. We go to commercial as the shaving cream/razor part of the shave is prepared.
We see Dave applying shaving cream to Bill's bearded growth. A bit of dab gets in Bill's eye.
Bill is now clean shaven. During the shave, Paul tickled the keys with a soft melody from a shaving commercial. Dang it, I can't place it. I picture the shaving commercial with a sports theme to it.
"Deh, shave, deh deh deh de deh. Deh, shave, deh deh deh de deh." Something like that. It'll come to me on my drive home tonight.
I was watching Bill shave with a razor in each hand. He went right at it. I'm not sure what you got to see on the TV at home, but Bill shaves like it's an X-Game event. Very daring, very dangerous, devil may care.
Before saying goodnight, Dave says of his good friend Bill: "If you're going to make a movie, this is all you need right here."
From their debut album, "Eagulls," the band from Leeds, England performed "Possessed"
And that was our show for Friday, January 31, 2014.
For those keeping score at home:
Late Night: February 1, 1982 – June 25, 1993: 1810 shows.
Late Show: debuted August 30, 1993: 3982 shows.
Total: 5,792 programs on Late Night television.
What I like to look for on the Super Bowl commercials is what movie will be promoted during the Super Bowl that will open in July. I have to wonder if that money is well spent. Will a commercial you've spent millions on be worth the impact 7 months later? It's usually a superhero movie. I guess it gets people talking but . . . . . . 7 months is a long way away.
I used to clean the grout on my kitchen floor every Super Bowl Sunday. The pre-game is endless and it's a 4 hour job that keeps me busy leading up to the game. But over the Christmas break I was looking to do something . . . anything . . . and so I did the grout then. Now I have nothing to do leading up to the game. Therefore, I decided to throw a Big Game Party. I hope the guests will appreciate my grout.
And two minutes before the Super Bowl opening kickoff, I like to take a quick gander at what's playing on ESPN. I imagine it'll be the World Series of Poker, and Cheerleading on ESPN2.
I have some business to take care of tonight. My Late Show Pool numbers aren't so good, but that's a box that goes for 10 units. I'm in a $100 box at a local bar. I'll have to pay a visit tonight to find out if I got 7-0 or not. One thing I've learned about Super Bowl pools. If you're in a big one where each box goes for at least $100, don't watch the game there. You don't want to win $10,000 and be surrounded by a bunch of lush-hounds looking for a freebie. And you won't be able to control yourself from being a big shot. You'll blow $500 easy. Don't do it. Go in on Tuesday and buy the bar a round. It'll cost you about $50.
Now if it was just me at my Super Bowl Party, beer and chips and Cheese-Its would be fine. But I'll have friends over. Now I have to buy a better brand of beer and since I'm calling it a "Super Bowl Party" I'll have to up the food options. And since wives will be coming, I'll really have to up the food choice. And that means I'll have to pick up some wine. I'll be going out early Saturday for the drinks.
"Excuse me, how much is that box of wine?"
Oh, and now my Super Bowl Pool story. I had won a small final pool some years back. I can't remember the teams involved but I won it on a fluke. A team with the game in hand missed a late extra point. It meant nothing to the outcome of the game, but meant EVERYTHING to those who had a Super Bowl box, which is millions of people. My winnings were meager, but I was happy to win it. Jump ahead a week. I go to a local bar and find my friend in his usual spot. After a drink or three, I ask with a big smile out of the blue, "So, you win any money in a football pool?" He glares at me and then gets up to go to the bathroom. Oops. Guys around me tell me that my friend Kevin lost out on 20 grand due to the missed extra point. OUCH! That's 20 grand, tax-free. My friend Kevin returns soon afterwards. I tell him I just heard the story. He says that wasn't the worst part. He was sitting at the bar counting his money in his head. The guy misses the extra point and the $20,000 is gone just like that. He wanted to cry. And who won? The bartender. Kevin wants to cry, and right across from him is the guy who just stole $20,000 from him. The bartender is obviously jubilant. Seconds earlier the bartender was congratulating Kevin on his expected 20K win. But now it's the barkeep with the 20K. Kevin says nothing while he burns up inside. When things quieted down a bit, Kevin orders up another Coors Light . . . . and the bartender charged him for it.
Happy motoring!

The one where I've been away for a long time and explain why.
So I obviously haven't posted anything here for a long, long time, and it hasn't been for lack of baking and cooking on my part.
It's been more of a lack of time.
Every time I had the chance to make something, I never had quite enough time to take pictures or document my recipes and usually, I was rushing to work before the food could even cool.
By the time I got around to having time to take a picture, everything would have already been devoured.
In other news, I did make pumpkin pie for the first time in my life (from scratch!), and tried some for the first time too. It was pretty good, if I may say so myself, though I did discover that I absolutely can't stand the smell of cooked pumpkin.
I made apple crumble, though for some reason, I thought it tasted off, while everyone else loved it. Oh well.
What with Christmas, the disaster it wreaks on retail jobs, then a disastrous snow day which left me feeling quite terrible for the next week, and my mom's constant mini renovations on the kitchen ( hi mom😀 ) I haven't had much of a desire to make anything, let alone the time, lately, but it's a new year now, and that means more time to make and eat food!

Ordinarily, I would take this space to yak about my family, home and more, but today's letter congratulates Lake Erie LifeStyle designer, Jill Starr, and her husband, Ryan. Jill went into labor in the middle of this home and garden issue -- our largest issue ever at 86 pages.
Their son, Jackson Ryan Starr, was born at 4:18 a.m. April 12, the same day the Erie Times-News celebrated its 125th birthday. This is their first child, but Jill always jokes that Lake Erie LifeStyle was her first baby. She has been the designer from the beginning.
This issue marks our fifth spring home and garden issue, and I always learn something when we put it together. Houses are my passion, but I admit that gardening is not my favorite pastime. I like the attitude of Chris DeCrease -- she has stunning gardens smack dab in the city of Erie. "It's an experiment," she says.
I'm taking that advice home. The tulips I planted a few years ago have never looked particularly healthy -- a failed experiment, but I've revived geraniums more than a few summers -- a success.
Here's to experimenting in your home and garden.

Jay Cutler rode the bench the second half of the NFC Championship game with a "knee injury."
Cutler played a little bit while injured before being benched.
We'll get into it a little more later, but Cutler clearly quit on the team unless it's revealed later his knee was in pieces. But if that were true, why was he sitting on the sideline?
But this kind of gutless performance brings to mind other great quitters of the past.
Here's a look at 15 of the biggest quitters in sports history.
UPDATE: Cutler reportedly tore his MCL. This is a legitimate injury, but it doesn't excuse Cutler's total mental checkout from the game. He made no attempt to put a brace on and he gave no help to Caleb Hanie. This is still an issue, but at least Cutler can show the MRI as proof he was injured.

Then something like Apache Barcamp Spain gets together and it's like - WOW.
If I had to coin some term, it would be "beer-oriented event". This being my first barcamp, I must say that the format is a fresh and new perspective much more interesting that the typical "get together and talk" mumble-jumble.
The talks
First off, you don't know what you are getting into. Literally. You make the trip to Seville, which in our case means getting three people into the A-Team van to co-star a 500+ km of roadtrip movie. You do all that, yet you don't know the talks that will happen the day after. Everyone proposes a talk and a voting process happens, and for all you know you could end-up learning new, surprising flavors of freaky.
Fortunately this was not the case: from Play! framework to GIS, Agile, Maven, Groovy, Web or Mobile, the landscape was full of well-seasoned experts. I loved the talks, but also the pace: instead of the typical 45-minute sessions, these were shortened up to 30 which leaves just the time to get to the point. No fluff, no fillers, just beans.
With three parallel tracks, you know you will miss 66% of the talks. I know I did, and some great talks are not included here. Sorry for that.
The following is my contribution about CSS. Bear in mind that these are introductory talks, but I tried to make them fun and throw something in for the most experienced.
The people
CELEBRITIES. All of them. Hey, we got a T-shirt to prove it.
Seriously, the organization made a big effort to make it clear that this show was about the people. I mean, of course all events do, but here you could really feel the love. Beer-time was the required great excuse to meet great people, and I found this to be one of the best formulas to get in touch. Relaxed and natural, like friends at a party.
Pity that we were just 100 people. I know quite a crowd that was left out because of the limited capacity.
The party
This event was co-sponsored by several companies, Extrema between them, but one company really stood out: Atlassian.
Atlassian sponsored the closing party, and a huge one at that. Flamenco, beers, jamón serrano, mojitos when the time was right. It was exactly the kind of party I would ask of Seville.
Funny fact of the night: After one hour of animated chat, I ended up recognizing Carlos Sanchez because of the avatar in his business card. Avatares reales ya :)

The W-4 form determines how much tax is withheld from your wages based on how many allowances you claim
Form W-4 [Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate] determines how much federal, state, local, Social Security, and Medicare tax is withheld from your paychecks. When beginning a new job, you must fill out this form and give it to your employer, even if you are exempt from withholding.
On the W-4 you can claim a certain number of allowances depending on your life situation. It's these allowances that determine your withholding (and size of refund or tax due when filing your taxes).
If you claim 0 allowances, the maximum amount of taxes will be withheld. For every additional allowance you claim, a little less tax will be withheld from your paycheck.
The Number You Should Claim
The details to your specific situation (such as your filing status, number of children, etc) will determine how you should fill out your W-4.
If your parents claim you:
If you're being claimed as a dependent on someone's tax return, you'll want to claim 0 allowances. This is because your parents are claiming you as an exemption, rather than you claiming yourself.
If You're Single:
- & Working One Job: If you definitely want a refund, claim 0. However, you will have more tax withheld from each paycheck, meaning smaller paychecks. Choosing to claim 1 allowance will guarantee you a refund at the end of the tax year, without having the maximum tax withheld from your pay. Claiming two allowances will most likely get you the closest to your tax obligations, but when everything is said and done you may end up owing the IRS a modest sum.
- & Working Two Jobs: If you work two jobs and are filing as single, ideally you would claim one allowance at each job. If you already claimed 0 at one job, claim 2 allowances at the other job. If you want a larger refund when tax season rolls around, claim one allowance at one job and zero at the other.
If You're Married:
- Without Kids: You should claim 2 allowances if your spouse does not work. If your spouse does work, each of you should claim 1 allowance.
- With Kids: If you are married with a kid, you and your spouse combined should generally claim 3 allowances. For each additional child, add an allowance. So, if you're married with two kids, as a couple, you would claim a total of 4 allowances, meaning each of you would ideally claim 2 allowances on your W-4s.
If You're Head of Household
- You can claim additional allowances if your filing status is head of household. In other words, if you're single with two kids and eligible for head of household filing status, you would claim four allowances.
If You're Still Confused
Allowances can be difficult to determine. Everyone should complete the Personal Allowances Worksheet on the first page of the W-4. Those who plan to itemize deductions should complete the Deductions and Adjustments Worksheet on page 2 and those with two jobs or a spouse who works should complete the Two-Earners/Multiple Jobs Worksheet on page 2 also.
If you still need help, the IRS Withholding Calculator tool will help you determine your allowances.
When you file your return, make sure your withholding more or less lines up with your tax obligations. If you have a big tax bill after filing, you'll want to lower your number of allowances on your W-4.
You Can Adjust Your W-4 Allowances
Remember to adjust your W-4 if there are major changes in your life. If you get married or divorced, or gain or lose a dependent, you will need to change the number of allowances you claim. Likewise, if you become or cease to be someone else's dependent you will likely have to change your withholding.
Withholding is something everyone needs to pay attention to, whether you're looking ahead to the upcoming tax season or filing back tax returns online.
If you're not happy with your refund amount after filing your taxes, think about changing the number of allowances on your W-4.

New Solar Systemby Fraser Cain
Now that Pluto is not longer a Planet, we have a new Solar System: the Sun, 8 planets and 4 dwarf planets.
The new Solar System looks mostly like the old Solar System, but there are a few significant differences. The Sun stays the same. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all remain planets. Pluto has been downgraded from a planet to a dwarf planet. The asteroid Ceres has been upgraded to a dwarf planet as well. So has the newly discovered Kuiper Belt objects, Eris and Makemake.
Why isn't Pluto a planet anymore? We've got an article on Universe Today that goes into the decision in great detail – it's called, Why Pluto is Not a Planet?
But here's the short answer. Astronomer Mike Brown from Caltech recently announced the discovery of a new object out beyond the orbit of Pluto. Like Pluto, this new object – now called Eris – was part of the Kuiper Belt, but it was actually larger than Pluto. Since Eris was bigger than Pluto, astronomers had to decide if this, and any other icy objects would also be considered planets. Would we have 10 planets, 11 planets – 20 planets?
The International Astronomical Union met in 2006 to decide on the matter once and for all. The members voted to pass a proposition that for an object to be a planet, it must do the following:
- Orbit the Sun
- Have enough mass to pull itself into a spherical shape
- Clear out all the other material in its orbit
It's on this third requirement where Pluto falls down. Even though Pluto orbits the Sun and has a spherical shape, its orbit is filled with many other objects of similar size. In fact, Pluto is just a fraction of the mass of all the material in its orbit, while the other planets in the Solar System have millions of times more mass than anything else nearby.
The IAU threw Pluto a bone recently, creating a brand new category called Plutoids. Pluto, Eris and other objects like this will receive this classification.
And that's the new Solar System. I know it's hard to tell your kids that there are only 8 planets, and the ignore what all there books tell them, but that's science in action.
Here's an article that announces the 4th dwarf planet, Makemake, and the recognition of the Plutoids.
Here's more information about the Solar System from NASA, and from NASA/JPL.
We have recorded a whole series of podcasts about the Solar System at Astronomy Cast. Check them out here.

Kentucky State Police said they have arrested a Christian County sheriff's deputy on charges of rape, official misconduct and sodomy.
The Kentucky New Era reported the charges against 38-year-old Brandon L. Hawkins, who also works as a deputy jailer, stem from a relationship he had with a former female inmate.
Sheriff's spokesman Capt. Chris Miller said in a statement Friday that Hawkins has been suspended without pay.
It was unclear whether Hawkins has an attorney.
State police said the investigation is continuing.

LOVE Park could use a lot more love.
Or at least a little common courtesy.
Every morning at 7, Parks and Recreation Department employee Albert Figlestahler arrives at the picturesque John F. Kennedy Plaza to give it both, but he's fighting an army of visitors and inhabitants who strew trash across its granite surface, scribble profanity on its walls, and use it as an open-air bathroom.
Keeping LOVE Park clean has never been easy, but the problem has grown worse since the city fenced off Dilworth Plaza late last year to begin a $50 million renovation. Many of the homeless people who lived at Dilworth moved across the intersection to LOVE Park.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Jeweler Michael Hoffman is hoping to avoid prison when he is sentenced Thursday, Jan. 30, for filing false corporate and personal income tax returns.
Hoffman, 59, of Ada, has asked for home confinement and probation that would allow his business to survive.
"Mr. Hoffman acknowledges that he has committed a serious offense and is not attempting to excuse his conduct," attorney Terrance Dillon wrote in court documents.
"However, the (advisory sentencing) guideline range of 18 to 24 months does not take into account some of the factors mitigating Mr. Hoffman's offense or his otherwise unblemished life. Mr. Hoffman has no prior criminal history. He has been a well-respected, contributing member of this community. In addition to his extensive work with charities and the arts, Mr. Hoffman built a business that has a reputation for integrity and excellence throughout the community."
Hoffman will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Janet Neff.
His attorney said Hoffman was "over-extended" in real-estate investments when the financial crisis hit.
In 2007, he couldn't pay his bills. His mortgage debt far exceeded the value of his properties. Then, he lost a large tenant which cost him $204,000 in annual rent.
He filed false tax returns for that year, and failed to report additional incomes in 2008 and 2009, which resulted in an overall tax loss of $261,000.
He has since paid the tax.
Hoffman started in the jewelry business after high school. In 1986, he opened Hoffman Jewelers, Inc., in East Grand Rapids.
He is the store's only jeweler.

Hampshire Treasures
Volume 1 ( Winchester City District)
Page 169 - King's Worthy
|Previous page (Volume 1, Page 167)
|Next page (Volume 1, Page 171)
The Parish of Kings Worthy includes Abbots Worthy, which was a separate manor at the time of the Domesday Survey. Kings Worthy itself was then a Tithing of Barton Stacey, which was held by King Edward and then by King William after the Conquest. According to the Domesday Book the royal manor "was under the obligation of providing entertainment for the King for half a day; and Worthy is a village forming part of this manor." In the twelth century Henry ll granted the manor to Walter, his usher, for the annual rent of a pair of gilded spurs. Walter's brother Aimery le Despenser later succeeded to the manor, and King John confirmed the grant in 1205.
An ownership dispute arose in 1265 but the case was settled in favour of the owner as it was decided that "Adam had more right to the said manor than the lord King." Members of the de la Zouche family were lords of the manor from 1370 until 1502: the manor later passed to the Capell family, of whom Giles Capell was knighted for gallantry by Henry Vlll and Lord Capell of Hadham was beheaded in 1649 for his loyalty to the king. In 1773 the manor was sold to Sir Chaloner Ogle whose son Sir Charles Ogle sold it in 1826.
The Domesday Book lists the Manor of Abbots Worthy as belonging to St. Peter's Abbey, Winchester, which later became Hyde Abbey. It remained so until the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when it was given by Henry Vlll to his Italian doctor, Augustine de Augustinis, in 1542. Three years later the manor came into the hands of Wriothesley, who became Earl of Southampton in 1547. Subsequent Earls of Southampton held the manor until the late seventeenth century, when it passed into the Russell family.

Rackspace Rescues MariTool from Deliverability Issues
CUSTOMER'S BUSINESS: High-quality precision machine tools and accessories
CHALLENGES: Deliverability and availability issues with their previous provider and lack of support for iPhone™
RACKSPACE SOLUTION: Rackspace Email with Mobile Sync for iPhone™
BUSINESS OUTCOME: Confidence that emails are delivered to the inbox and a feature-set that better supports business objectives
MariTool Finds Themselves Blacklisted
MariTool relies on technology to drive their organization. In just three years, MariTool has grown from an eBay store into a high-volume manufacturer and distributor of CNC machine tools. Their marketing, sales, and support all revolve around their e-commerce website and email communication. Tom Fetcho, MariTool Project Manager, says, "Even if we were big enough to manage email in-house, we wouldn't want to deal with that." Tom saw the drain of managing email internally while working for a large company, "I saw the headaches they went through with email and I'd much rather pay someone else to handle it."
They were using their website host to service their email needs. "Everything was hosted on a shared server and the service was unreliable," says Tom. When the servers overloaded, they couldn't send or receive email. The service also limited them to 5MB attachments, which made sending large files impossible.
MariTool was let down again by the service when their servers were blacklisted—meaning that the server's IP address was added to a list of addresses that providers use to identify spam. If your IP is blacklisted, you can expect that most of your outgoing mail will end up in your recipients' spam folders. "No one checks the spam folder, so they'd either think we didn't respond or we'd have to ask them to check their spam folder, which makes us appear unprofessional," Tom recounts.
MariTool's business relies heavily on email communication. Unreliable service and improperly delivered email threatened their central communication tool. They were ready to step up to a dedicated email provider who could protect their professionalism, support their mobile devices, and maintain email availability.
Responsiveness Makes the Decision Easy
Tom looked at several providers online before exploring Rackspace. "I searched online and your service looked impressive," he says. The price, ease of integration, and uptime commitment caught his attention. The tipping point for Tom was, "When we signed up, the iPhone™ was new. You were the only provider we looked at who supported it."
Before signing up online, they contacted Rackspace to get a feel for the quality of support. With their previous provider, it could take up to five minutes to get a response to a chat request, but with Rackspace, they got a response "in seconds." They were pleasantly surprised at how quickly they got a response and signed up.
MariTool uses the Rackspace Email web-based interface and the free mobile sync tool for iPhone. Their new Rackspace Email boxes not only provide an ample 10GB of mailbox space, but also allow them to send and receive up to 50MB attachments.
The transition went smoothly, Tom reports, "We had more difficulty getting our former domain registrar to move our records than setting up our email service." The clean, familiar layout of the webmail interface made it easy for his employees to start using it on day one, without training.
Fanatical Support® Inspires Loyalty
Over the years, MariTool has remained a loyal Rackspace customer. Along the way, Tom has had many encounters with our Fanatical Support team. Describing his latest experience with our support fanatics, he says, "In all honesty, I have never had such a positive experience with a support staff like I have had today."
On that day, he called about a problem his friend was having with email. His friend was not a customer, but when he got on the phone with Anarka and Dustin in Support, he got the same thorough service to which he's grown accustomed. The friend's email host had inadvertently deleted all of his mailboxes. "He was dead in the water without email. Even though I knew it wasn't Rackspace's issue to solve, I thought you might have some suggestions."
We were able to get his friend new email accounts immediately. The support team went further and helped him troubleshoot issues getting his MX records switched over from the previous provider. "I was expecting to hear, 'Good luck!' but instead, I heard, 'Let's see what we can do' and you fixed something that wasn't really your job to fix," gushes Tom.
Since moving to Rackspace, Tom has seen the web interface evolve with increasing functionality and expanded mailbox size. He now enjoys five times the attachment size he had with his previous provider and is confident that when he hits "Send," his email won't fall into the recipient's spam folder. "The reliability of the email speaks for itself; it's the level of support that puts Rackspace over the top."
Continue the conversation in the Rackspace Community.

RB Larry Johnson came into the contest having already racked up over 700 yards in total offense and no team had come close to figuring him out so far this year. The same could have been said at the conclusion of this game, as well.
From the beginning, Arizona fans knew they were in for a long day. KR Daunte Hall returned the opening kickoff all the way to the Cardinals 33. From there, QB Trent Green and Johnson went to work, needing only 2 plays to get into the endzone. The first, a pass to WR Sammie Parker, got the Chiefs' offense down to the 12 and Larry Johnson took the handoff on the next play to go nearly untouched across the goalline. It was frightening how easily the Chiefs marched into the endzone as there was no pressure or penetration by the defensive front whatsoever.
Things only got worse from there. After starting their drive deep in their own territory, thanks to a holding call against LB Brandon Johnson, the Arizona offensive unit promptly gave up their first sack of the day. LB Kendrell Bell formally introduced himself to QB Kurt Warner at the Arizona 6, nearly recovering the ensuing fumble before Warner was able to regain control. The Chiefs defense never allowed Warner to get into a rhythm by keeping him on his heels with effective blitzes from every direction. On the very next play, CB Patrick Surtain met RB Edgerrin James in the backfield as he was taking a handoff, again causing a fumble, this time recovered by Warner. As has become customary, the Cards were forced to punt after running only thee plays on their opening drive when WR Larry Fitzgerald dropped an on-target pass. That also became a trend for the remainder of the half, as Arizona would not record a first down until their first series of the second half.
The Kansas City offense, on the other hand, was on cruise control, only being forced to punt twice in 9 series. In both of those cases, it was clear that poor execution was the culprit and not anything the Arizona defense was doing. The offensive line play was tremendous, keeping the Cardinals defense away from QB Trent Green as well as keeping defenders off the line of scrimmage. Essentially allowing Johnson a 3-4 yard running start on every rushing play, the line played a key role in his 220 yard, 3 TD performance. By the halfway point of the game, the Chiefs held a 29-0 lead.
When the game resumed, it looked as if the Cardinals would be able to at least save some face by having a respectable second half, but just as in the first half, the wheels fell off. The Cardinals collected their first first-down on an 11 yard rush by RB Marcel Shipp, who was lined up alongside James in a Pro-set formation. After 11 plays and 68 yards on the 5:15 minute drive and at the Kansas City 12, QB Kurt Warner was sandwiched again by a blitzing Bell and DT Ryan Sims. Warner fumbled again and this time wasn't as fortunate as the fumble was recovered by DE Jimmy Wilkerson. It was the last time the Cardinals offense would cross the Chiefs' 40 yard line.
As in the first half, the Kansas City offensive unit had very few problems, none of which was a lack of point production. They continued the rout even after the starters were pulled following the end of the 3rd quarter. QB Damon Huard actually finished with more passing yardage (9-11, 181 yards) than Kurt Warner (13-30, 175 yards), while only participating in the final quarter. By the end of this laugher, the Cardinals were content with inserting QB John Navarre to hand the ball off to Shipp to eat up the clock.
Cardinals lose 49-0.
On tap:
The Cardinals will embrace the extra day of rest they'll get this week due to their first appearance on Monday Night Football in more than 10 years. They'll be preparing for the 3-2 Chicago Bears while trying to shake off this embarrassing loss. They'll have their hands full with the defending NFC North champs and the surprisingly productive QB Rex Grossman, who has thus far avoided the injury-bug that has bitten so often in his career. The Cardinals will need to dust themselves off quickly and prepare for yet another formidable offensive attack if they are to have a shot in the bright lights of Monday Night.

Investment Bank of the Week: Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs has been keeping busy right through the final week before Christmas, capping another strong year for the US investment bank, which is on course to increase its fee share in Europe by close to two percentage points.
The US bank worked on this week's biggest equity deal in Europe and the second-biggest mergers and acquisitions deal involving a European company.
On Tuesday, it priced a $492.5 million sale of Rexel shares, in a deal led by Antoine de Guillenchmidt and Giacomo Ciampolini, both managing directors in the bank's equity capital markets team.
The deal saw Clayton Dubilier & Rice, Eurazeo, BAML Capital Partners and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec sell around 7% of the electrical supplies distributor's shares at €17.90 – a 2.9% discount to the closing price prior to the trade. In early trading this morning, the shares were trading at €18.45.
It is the first equity deal involving Rexel that Goldman Sachs has been involved in, according to Dealogic, with three earlier share sales in 2013 handled by UBS and Deutsche Bank.
The US bank also advised on the second-largest M&A deal involving a European party this week, advising US pharmaceutical Bristol-Myers Squibb on the sale of its diabetes alliance assets to UK-listed AstraZeneca. The deal, valued at $4.3 billion, was announced on Thursday.
The payment will consist of $2.7 billion at completion, with a further $1.4 billion in regulatory, launch and sales-related payments, and $225 million when certain assets are subsequently transferred.
The two deals will be potentially two of the last the US bank works on in 2013, a year in which it is on course to finish with a 6.9% market share of European investment banking fees, against 5% for the full year 2012.

Ryan McDonagh took part in the first, and surely not last, Olympic game of his hockey career, and played a very good game defensively against a solid Slovakian side (though you wouldn't know it by the 7-1 scoreline). The most interesting play came after sliding into the boards and, uhh, just watch it.
I have no idea how he intuitively knew to bounce off the boards like an olympic swimmer turning for the next lap. Just a unique defensive play from a unique defensive player. McDonagh made another defensive play on Detroit Red Wings forward Tomas Jurco, almost piledriving him and then rushing the puck up ice. He didn't earn a point on the play but it earned Team USA a goal nonetheless.
During his post-game press conference, Dan Bylsma singled out McDonagh and praised his work in the defensive zone. I think this Olympic tournament could lead to McDonagh earning his place in the elite class of NHL defensemen. It's an international tournament and all of North America will be focusing on the handful of games for Team USA. It's a chance for McDonagh to stand out to literally millions of hockey fans all watching the same 60-minute game, and so far he's done just that.
Ryan Callahan also had a solid game for the USA. He earned no points but was tenacious on the forecheck and responsible defensively. That's all the U.S. really needs out of him, with bigger guns like Patrick Kane and Phil Kessel the primary scorers.
The U.S. has off tomorrow but plays an important match against host country Russia Saturday morning. Bylsma has spilled no secrets but it would hardly be surprising to see McDonagh matched up against Ovechkin and Malkin.

7 Steps to Making an Ill-Advised Citizen's Arrest
#7. Know the LawThe laws around citizen's arrest vary a great deal depending on which country or state you're in, so your first step will be to conduct plenty of research on the laws that apply in your jurisdiction. "Plenty of research? What kind of bullshit advice is that? That's what I came here looking for, you son of a bitch!" I imagine you saying, before attempting to place me under citizen's arrest for Felony Intent to Commit Bullshit. Don't apologize; it shows your arresting heart's in the right place. If you do just want to wing it, here are a few commonalities that most Western legal systems have, which will be useful to know if you don't want your citizen's arrest exploding in your face. First, citizen's arrests are generally only permissible for serious crimes -- felonies or indictable offenses only -- so if you had visions of putting a jaywalker into a figure-four leglock while screaming the theme from The A-Team, that's not gonna fly. There is a wrinkle, though, in that if you observe a crime that is explicitly damaging your property, you do generally have the right to stop and arrest the subject. An Example: To illustrate the techniques necessary for making a citizen's arrest, last week I tried these out in my hometown, Canada City. When conducting this first, boringest step, I first consulted with a Canadian police officer ...
... as well as a a Canadian lawyer ...
... who informed me that I really shouldn't even be considering this, but that I was correct in assuming I could only arrest people who've committed indictable offenses, or who've stolen something from me. Seeing as indictable offenses are things like "rape" and "death-attack" (this is what we call murder in Canada), I decided I didn't want much to do with fighting that kind of criminal. This left the other approach -- to catch a criminal, I'd first wander around town with my wallet dragging behind me on a string, wait for someone to touch it, then citizen's arrest the hell out of him.
#6. Costume DesignUnless this becomes a habit of yours, you probably won't want to go full cape and cowl here. But you'd be surprised at the confidence you feel when you look the part, and if you think you're dressed like a vigilante badass, you actually may become a little more like one.
I am the hero Gotham deserves.
__ An Example: In an attempt to subtly mimic the most famous vigilante of all time, Michael Knight, I gave myself a leather jacket, jeans that were tighter than normal and a perm.
I initially considered rigging up my phone in my car to have a scrolling LED and a voice search feature so I could have conversations with it. That would also give me something to drive around in, looking for crime, and something to slide across the hood of when crime needed to be foiled. But then I remembered that I hated that fucking car. So instead I just played the Knight Rider theme song a few times before I left the house to psych myself up, and then once psyched, carried it around on my phone with me to keep my psych levels high.
#5. Submission TechniquesThe Internet is traditionally a place to hate, mock or otherwise rail against police officers, so please bear with me a second here when I don't do that at all, and point out that they are actually highly trained professionals. The kind of skills needed to wrestle a tweaking purse snatcher to the ground without hurting him or yourself are actually kind of hard to learn, and even if you are pretty OK with hurting him, it still isn't easy. For that reason, before making any citizen's arrests, it couldn't hurt to brush up on some basic self-defense techniques, or at the very least look into weighing a lot more. One other point bears mentioning here, and it relates to that -- ha ha -- police brutality joke I alluded to a second ago. You're not going to have the built-in legal protections afforded police officers, which means that when making a citizen's arrest, you're exposing yourself to a huge amount of legal liability. Criminal charges could very easily come in your direction, to say nothing of the civil damages you could potentially face if you arrest someone's face right through a table. For that reason, when selecting your self-defense training regimen, I'd strongly suggest you consider a noncontact martial art like tai chi or even Pilates. An Example: I spent most of the summer of 2000 getting really big into Tae Bo when I found a Tae Bo DVD and thought it would be hilarious if I got really big into Tae Bo. For those who don't know, Tae Bo is a kind of high-intensity exercise regime/martial art that is I think used to train Special Forces aerobics instructors. Most notably, Tae Bo is completely noncontact, which means I'm unlikely to hurt my arrestees with it.
It turns out that a split-squat tiptoed punch is more dangerous to the puncher than everyone else in the world.
#4. ExecutionA crime is happening! Only this time you're ready for it, having done all your homework and honed yourself into a crime-fighting Pilates machine. So take a deep breath, and do this: Approach your criminal confidently, announce that you're placing him under citizen's arrest and ask him to lie face first on the ground. If he doesn't (he won't), use your martial arts against him as gently as possible until he complies. An Example: I'd been trolling my wallet around downtown sidewalks for the better part of an hour before I felt a tug on the line. A catch! I turned around to spot a dirtbag holding my wallet. "Excuse me," she began to say before I interrupted her with my prepared speech, which was a sort of remembered version of the Miranda Rights.
"You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to ... uh ... remain an attorney. If you do not remain silent, an attorney may be held against you."
I then formally placed the young tough under citizen's arrest. Seeing the blank look on her face, I could tell she wasn't going to make things easy, at which point I escalated and conducted about 20 seconds of a Tae Bo routine right in front of her face. Finally, a reaction -- the hoodlum set the wallet down at her feet, then backed away from me slowly, accidentally tripping over a curb as she did so. Success -- I'd gotten my first "collar"!

>Jet Li
Kung Fu Fighter
As brothers in (fire) arms, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover have a blast in the Lethal Weapon buddy-action series. But in the latest go-round the duo got their kicks in a far less pleasant way, courtesy of actor Jet Li's ferocious feet. As the soft-spoken, gravity-defying baddie in Lethal Weapon 4, Li, 35, whirls and buffets with a deftness that makes fellow Hong Kong export Jackie Chan look downright sluggish. But Gibson welcomed the thrashing. "He said, 'I saw your pictures, I like your fights; just decide how to beat me up,' " says Li.
Born in Beijing, Li began studying martial arts at 8 and three years later won his first national title. With more than 25 Hong Kong films under his (black) belt, Li, who rents a home in L.A., is turning his attention stateside. He next shoots Romeo Must Die, a Jet-fueled take on Romeo & Juliet. With international success looming, Li's chief goal is making his mother proud and supporting his four siblings. "I can take care of them," he says. "This is why I train very hard."

North Carolina was the sickest time thus far! So many spots, so much fun and soooo not allowed back to NC state college. Dan Murphy is the best host you could ask for, down for anything anytime. Besides the ugly strippers and police it was a picture perfect experience. Cook Out burgers, Waffle House breakfast, and plentiful whiskey… i really have nothing negative to say about it besides Dave's board being shot into a river 2 times. Still after drying it under the lights he continued to kill it. Needless to say Cody "got buck" and "did the damn thang" at every spot he encountered and left us pondering our existence. Unfortunately we had to pack up the civic and head to Atlanta at the end of it all. "UGE" thank you to Dan and Indy for taking care of us and making sure we had an amazing time! Keep an eye out for the Boston to Baltimore edit coming online ASAP!!!

TEN Exclusive: Options Update – 10/6/10 0 comments
The SPX is caught in a tight trading range again after breaking out above the resistance at 1151. We saw the market meekly test both support at 1151 and resistance at 1164 yesterday and we expect more of the same on Thursday. Friday should provide some fireworks as we'll get the unemployment report. Following the poor ADP number, much of Friday's number may already be baked into this market.
The euro has been on a tremendous run versus the dollar and that is something worth keeping an eye on. We think that ultimately we will break above this 1164 level and then we'll target 1195-1200 next. Along the way we'll see pullbacks and 1-2 day correction but we expect a rally to close out the year. Signs of a dreaded double-dip have faded away.
We remain bullish.
Weekly Economic Calendar:
• The Labor Department will release the weekly new jobless claims figures, while the Federal Reserve will report on consumer credit use in August. Joining Alcoa Inc. (AA) in the earnings spotlight will be International Speedway Corp. (ISCA), PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) and Micron Technology, Inc. (MU).
• The nonfarm payrolls report and unemployment rate for September will arrive on Friday. As always, these numbers will be closely watched. The Commerce Department will also report on August wholesale inventories. There are no earnings reports scheduled.

I am still in a significant amount of pain. Still not able to lift my self up from a laying position. I am wondering how much longer do I expect to be like this. I planned for two weeks down time, but I am still in need of it. My feet are swollen and I get a tingling sensation around my breast and stomach. I have been sleeping with my feet and my head raised. This is tolerable but almost everywhere I look, it says 2 weeks. I'm at 2 weeks and don't see an end in sight. Please
I am 36yo and 2 weeks post op. I had a breast lift w/implant, full tummy tuck, bbl and Lipo. How much longer until I'm okay?
Doctor Answers 4
Given the fact that you have had multiples procedures, it is still too soon to expect to be up and around as normal. Your body needs time to recover. Typically with a tummy tuck it takes at least 2 weeks before you start moving around with more ease and less discomfort but it varies from patient to patient. It can take up to 4 weeks before you feel like yourself . With the additional procedures you have had your recovery will take longer. For my patients, by the 4th week they are able to return to work and day to day activities but with restrictions such as no heavy lifting and no work outs. Be sure to follow your surgeon's guidelines closely. I suggest you contact your surgeon's office regarding the fact that you still have significant pain and swollen legs just to be safe.
Web reference: http://www.theplasticsurgeryclinic.com/procedures/body/tummytuck.html
You Are Just Beginning
Anyone who told you the recovery from all of that would be two weeks has never had it done. Two weeks and you should be getting out of bed and a round a bit. I went back to work then, but I was not up to full speed, yet. I still walked a little bent over and tired easily. I still had swelling for sure. It was three months before my shoes weren't snug. I tell my patients it's usually 6-8 weeks before they will have all their energy back and be in full swing again. It takes months for all the swelling to go down and a couple of years for the scars to mature. There is a variation on how fast people heal, but with abdominoplasties it is always longer than patients expect. That does not mean that there is anything wrong. You sound normal to me. At this point you just need to put one foot in front of the other and know that you are heading in the right direction. Eventually you will be glad you did. I am every day.
Be patient.
Dear Shy_n_sexy:
The answer to your question is " BE PATIENT " . The surgery is not a magic act , your body needs time to heal.Remember that your body has been attacked by the surgery in several areas and each one must pass a recovery process .
The minimum time of rest that I will require my patients when they are undergoing a mommy makeover is 4 weeks . After the fourth week you can return to your work or routine but with great caution and under the guidance of your doctor.
During the first 4-6 weeks I suggest to my patients not to lift heavy items , walking hunched, not stay in bed all the time (it's good walks around the house ) have lymphatic drainage massage after the 10 days to help decrease edema caused by liposuction and the disciplined use of the girdle.
The average time to start seeing the final results is 3-6 months. I wish you a successful recovery and remember: be patient !

Two weeks after mommy make over and BBL
- Thank you for asking about your tummy tuck, breast lift, breast enlargement, liposuction and Brazilian buttock lift surgery.
- You had a lot of surgery. Many surgeons won't do all this at one time.
- Yes, two weeks after a tummy tuck most people no longer have pain. But you had two additional major operations. Your recovery will be slower.
- Significant abdominal pain, unable to sit up and swollen legs are unusual at this point.
- See your surgeon to be examined to be sure all is well. Best wishes.

Question: How do I use a custom validator in a gridview?
I have a gridview where I am trying to validate two concatenated fields with two other concatenated fields. The fields I concatenate build a date/time string. Each set of fields has a dropdown, with a date, in mm/dd/yyyy format, and a textbox, which uses a RegularExpressionValidator to ensure the time is entered in 12-hour time, in the HH:MM am/pm format. The fieldnames I use are DDLDateIn and txtTimeIn, and DDLDateOut and txtTimeOut. If anyone has any suggestions on how to use a custom validator control inside of the GridView, I'd love to hear them. Thanks.

Psalms 912 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I trust! 3 For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. 8 Only a spectator shall you be as you witness the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, 10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. 11 For He will give His angels charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways . 12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot. 14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name . 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.
