Saint Abigail rocks!!!!! She is intelligent, beautiful, hot, and she can make a king fall head over heels in love...ReplyDelete
She and King David had one son named Daniel, right? Her feast day is September 1, am i right? A good role model for everyone of us...
I agree. Yes, King David and St. Abigail had a son named David, but the most widely acknowledged date of her feast day is Feb 11th. However, There is some conflicting information on that, and some believe that September the 1st is the true date.ReplyDelete
February 11th, huh? I see... What's St. Abigail's patronage, by the way? If Saint King David is the patron of poets, what's Saint Abigail's patronage?ReplyDelete
And also... can you feature other patriarchs such as Joseph the Dreamer? Is he also considered a saint in some churches? Please reply... Thanks... God bless...
St. Abigail is best known as the Patron of Beekeeping, but when I was writing about her I took perogative and stated her as being the Patron of King David. I just thought beekeeping was somewhat unusual, and portrayed her in somewhat of a bizarre way.ReplyDelete
I will definitely feature other patriarchs in the future. Thank you for letting me know you would be interested in seeing them.
Thank you again and God bless you as well.
All the information I saw about St. Abigail the patron of beekeeping was about a Saint from Ireland. I think they are two different saints of the same name.ReplyDelete
I found a source that says St. Abigail (wife of King David) is the patron of wives, women of learning and women of counsel.ReplyDelete
St. Abigail is from Ireland...they are one and the same :)ReplyDelete

They are two different saints. St. Abigail from King David was actually from 1000 BC. King David was one of the original Kings of the Jews in Jerusalem. Of course the saint from Ireland was many years later.ReplyDelete

The 2nd Edition of Dennis Cooley's Bloody Jack is a 280-page volume written with an often maniacal sense of humor, spanning a wide range of genres. Only three pieces from the original edition (published in 1984) are excluded, 28 new pieces are added. Though the majority of the pieces are poetry, the text also contains prose, songs, a crossword puzzle and a mock quiz as well as letters, reviews of the earlier edition, newspaper articles, and excerpts from a movie script which has never existed, all of which require the reader to constantly query the factual basis of what s/he is reading. As Douglas Barbour states in the text's introduction, Cooley "[...] undermines the documentary impulse at every turn, using documents in order t…

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks, says he wants to die so he can become "a martyr."
Mohammed, who was once al-Qaeda's third-in-command, told a military judge Thursday that he wants the death penalty.
Click the play button for comments from CBN News Terror Analyst, Erick Stakelbeck.
Yes, this is what I wish, to be a martyr for a long time. I will, God willing, have this, by you," he told the judge after he was warned that he faced the death penalty.
Mohammed and four co-defendants were arraigned before a war-crimes tribunal at the U.S. Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. All five of the men are charged with murder, conspiracy, attacking civilians and terrorism for their role in plotting 9/11.
The military plans to show the trial on closed-circuit television to 9/11 victims' families. Those families will be allowed to watch the proceedings from special locations on U.S. military bases.
The military's tribunal system for the detainees of the Global War on Terror is still in dispute.
The Supreme Court is expected to hand down a ruling this month on the rights of Guantanamo prisoners. The high court's actions could delay or halt the trial for the five men altogether.

I have been at this for 42 days to be exact. At first, I obese about carbs, then do I do higher fat and then I just said forgetaboutit and do what I am doing...No sugar, no white flour/bread/etc..Some days depressed too that nothing was happening. At least not in the mirror and or on my clothes.
What I can tell you is today I put on a pair of shorts I tried on a few weeks ago and I barely could zip up and even hurt around the waist. Sadly, I took them off remembering last year that were a bit big on me when I did the whole HCG thing and of course gained all that weight back...but today, I got them on. Their snug but I am wearing them. It's a little turtle pace progress but it's ok..it means something is finally happening.
I hung in there. Things didn't happen at first but this last week I sorta gave in and gave up...just let it be and that's when my body started to ease up and a little weight fell off...
I share this in case there are any of you who start off with this whole Paleo thing and wonder...why aren't you losing. I still need more time and I am not giving into to sweets or bread..that's easy. Patience is what has been testing me and FINALLY something is happening...so hang in there.

Many players eliminated from playoff contention will head to Europe in order to compete in the World Championships, which begin May 3rd. Former Ranger and current Columbus Blue Jackets forward, Marian Gaborik, will not be one of them.
Gaborik did not pass his end-of-the-year medical examination with the Blue Jackets and therefore will not compete for Slovakia, according to Slovakia General Manager Otto Sýkora. Gaborik has a groin issue and he and the Blue Jackets medical staff will decide soon whether he needs surgery or if he can rehabilitate it as is.
This leads to questioning if this is an issue that extends back before his move to Columbus. Gaborik's severe dip in play resulted in speculation that he was not healthy, though most of that rooted from his offseason shouder surgery. Each team does thorough examinations of medical records and players almost always undergo physicals prior to the completion of trades so there is little chance that Columbus made a move for a severely damaged Gaborik. That being said, players have been traded in less than ideal shape before (just look at Derek Dorsett as a more extreme example) and it is very possible that the Blue Jackets knew he was battling something but accepted the risk.
In any case, it is injury to insult for the Blue Jackets. They sacrificed three young players in order to bring in Gaborik and make a run for the playoffs, which they barely missed out on. And now Gaborik will spend the offseason attempting to heal yet another groin injury as he enters the final year of his contract with the Blue Jackets. Gaborik has a reputation for being fragile, but groin problems have plagued him more than anything else; Gaborik has sat out with a groin injury on at least eight different occasions in his career.
One has to wonder if Glen Sather moved Gaborik at the ideal time. For all of his documented injuries, the Rangers had a bit of luck in that Gaborik played over 90 percent of the team's games. It seemed that we milked all we could out of him, and perhaps it's not just about his relationship with Tortorella or the need for a change or anything else. Reoccuring injuries reoccur for a reason. Once one does significant damage to a part of your body it becomes that much easier to aggravate again in the future. And older bodies simply don't have the capability to repair itself the same way as younger bodies do. At 31 years old, Gaborik is not exactly young by hockey standards, and we've seen plenty of players begin to lose gas in their early thirties (Dany Heatley, for instance). The result is that, even if he was healthy with the Rangers, Marian Gaborik's body has been and will continue to be a ticking time bomb. I don't doubt that Gaborik will be a productive NHL player for at least a few more years, but it's fair to question just how productive. Maybe he's only a 25-30 goal scorer now. And there's nothing wrong with that. But if Gaborik's body continues to break down then it very well might be the case that Glen Sather got a significantly better package for Gaborik than he would have next season.

One hundred forty-two patients were observed through their openheart surgery experiences. Preoperative psychiatric ratings and psychological tests of personality were obtained as well as physical and operative data. Twenty-five percent developed a postcardiotomy delirium following a lucid interval and 6% an immediate organic brain syndrome apparent immediately on awakening from anesthesia.
It was suggested that postcardiotomy delirium be viewed as a psychosomatic syndrome. There was evidence that beyond the influence of physical and operative variables, a high degree of psychological activity and dominance may contribute to delirium. Further, a group seen by the research team had half the delirium incidence of a comparable group not seen, suggesting that such intervention has a prophylactic-therapeutic function. Prior investigations showing a relationship between delirium and physical and operative variables were confirmed.

Man pleads not guilty in toddler's death
Published 9:14 AM CST Dec 27, 2012
A 34-year-old Dubuque man has pleaded not guilty to allegations that he killed his girlfriend's 2-year-old son.
Court records said Nicholas Reed faces first-degree murder and other charges in the death of Bentley Randall.
KWWL-TV said Reed entered the pleas on Wednesday.
The boy's mother took him to a Dubuque hospital on Nov. 23 for treatment of submersion burns and head trauma. The boy died later at a hospital in Iowa City.
Police say Bentley's mother had left him with Reed, her boyfriend, when she went to work.

Dancehall artiste Sizzla is firing lyrical shots at hip hop artiste Snoop Dogg in his latest song 'Burn Out Smithsonians.'
In Burn Out Smithsonians, Sizzla accuses Snoop Dogg who was recently in Jamaica to record, of taking advantage of the Rastafarian community for financial gain.
"All you do is go around and record the sacred services in the holy temple of His Majesty and try to sell it. Nothing is right bwoy nothing is cool who di … Snoop Dogg a try fool, tell him sey a Emperor Haile Selassie I rule, him cyah even get Selassie I stool."
"You don't have no conscience yu wicked people, yu come fi sell out Rasta people waah come record and video tape den run wey wid the copyright, and think yu escape dem, everybody want a piece a mi culture dem a raid it like vulture," sing Sizzla.
NEW MUSIC: Snoop Dogg becomes Snoop Lion with new reggae tune "La La La"
Listen to Sizzla's Burn Out Smithsonians below:
The song labeled by YouTube users as a Snoop Dogg diss record, however, Sizzla's publicist Olimatta Taal expressed that the reggae artiste did not have personal grouse against the rapper.
Taal said that recording Rastafarian ceremonies without permission was disrespectful to the Rastafarian community.Based on the work that I have done with Sizzla, the Rastafarian community and Africa, I don't think that the Rastafarian community has a problem with certain ceremonies being videotaped. The issue is the process in which people use the tapings. If you go into the Rasta communities or to their ceremonies and begin to tape without permission, that is not allowed. It shows disrespect towards the people and the culture. There is also an issue of intellectual property and what the footage is being used for.
She explained. "I don't think that Sizzla nor any member of the Rasta community have an issue with Snoop Dogg not being Rasta. If anything the community embraces individuals who want to 'overstand' the Rasta community, its principles, values, and way of life,""The leadership within the Rastafarian community is against the exploitation of the culture for economic benefit. It is so unfortunate that people make money off Rasta but the community nor its institutions benefit, this is where the problem lies. Anybody trying to commercialise aspects of Rasta culture should go through the correct channels to ensure that the Rastafarian community benefits from the economic gains and profits," Taal said.
The publicist also disclosed that Sizzla's song was merely speaking on behalf of the voiceless.
"Sizza is a voice for the voiceless. He addresses many issues through his music, so take it for what it is, face value. But let me be very clear, it is wrong to go into anyone's community to film a documentary that will be distributed for economic gain without the community receiving its fair portion from the profits," she continued.
"The roots film based on Kunta Kinteh from The Gambia made millions of dollars. However, if you go to the village of Juffureh and visit the Kinteh family or the museum, it does not reflect the millions of dollars that were made off this storybased in The Gambia. So I say to Sizzla and the Rastafarian community, keep fighting and speaking for truth and justice. Don't let anyone rape and exploit the culture. They must all go through the proper channels, always," Taal concluded. (CEM)

NEWARK, N.J. -- Brook Lopez had a hard time remembering his last game-winning shot.
"I don't know, it might have been Stanford -- but it feels good," the New Jersey Nets center said. "We ran the play exactly the way we wanted to."
Lopez scored the tiebreaking basket on a turnaround jumper from 6 feet out with 1.4 seconds remaining and the Nets beat Cleveland 103-101 on Monday night, handing the Cavaliers their 17th straight defeat.
Lopez led the Nets with 28 points and Anthony Morrow scored 16 off the bench. Cleveland's losing streak is its longest since dropping 19 in a row to close the 1981-82 season.
The Cavaliers have lost 21 straight road games, matching the team record set from Jan. 13 to April 14, 2003. Their last road win came in New Jersey on Nov. 9.
"It's tough to take the loss because I thought our guys played hard enough to get the win," Cleveland coach Byron Scott said. "We have to keep playing hard and applying all the things we talked about at both ends of the floor. We have to know it's going to work out for us, we're going to have a breakout game. Right now we're losing some of these battles but in the long run we'll hopefully win the war."
The final basket by Lopez capped a back-and-forth battle down the stretch between two last-place teams.
The Nets have won three of four since owner Mikhail Prokhorov ended trade talks to acquire Carmelo Anthony from Denver.
Devin Harris had 14 points and 10 assists for New Jersey while Jordan Farmar and Kris Humphries each scored 11. Humphries led the Nets with 11 rebounds.
Antawn Jamison scored 26 points to pace the Cavaliers. Daniel Gibson had 19 and Ramon Sessions added 16. Cleveland also got 14 points from Joey Graham and 12 from J.J. Hickson.

The Nets appeared to have the game in hand when Morrow made a jumper with 2:06 left to give New Jersey a 97-93 lead.
Cleveland fought to the finish.
Gibson hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to one and Sessions put Cleveland in front 98-97 with a driving dunk with 1:08 left.
A dunk by Humphries put New Jersey back in front and a running bank shot by Morrow gave the Nets a 101-98 lead with 13.2 seconds left.
Graham, taking a pass from Sessions, tied it with a 3 from the left corner with 7.1 seconds left.
That set the stage for Lopez to nail the winner.
"We fought hard all game long to get to that position and Brook did a great job getting us a bucket," Harris said. "Anthony did a great job of getting us a key bucket late."
Cleveland jumped out to a 12-point lead in the second quarter and held the Nets at bay until the final period.
"Our energy level wasn't that great the first half at all," Lopez said. "We came out strong in the second half, tapered off a little bit, but we came up strong when we needed to."
- It was the third time this season the Nets overcame a 12-point deficit to win.
- Humphries had his team-leading 14th double-double.
- The Nets are 5-3 against the Central Division.

Plan Early For Back to SchoolJan Halvarson
Time is flying and it's time to start thinking about Back to School. Well at least in the planning stages – and what better way with a new calendar and planner. Especially pretty ones. Blue Sky has teamed up with designer SusyJack* this year to create a few new designs in those categories available at Target this month! I had a series of theirs last year and especially love the mini deskpad calendar – super useful for bloggers too! Choose the size, color and format that fits your life and style. They're also available at Blue Sky's site – click here to see!

What is more Thanksgiving than football? With the two traditional Thanksgiving Day games being played in Detroit and Dallas, the night NFL Network game is a perfect time to showcase one of the new power teams in the NFL. The Seahawks of Seattle!
Here are my top reasons why the Seahawks are odds on favorites to keep winning in the NFL and why they should be a featured host on an upcoming Thanksgiving Day game.
The 12th Man – The ongoing battle between Kansas City Chiefs and Seahawks on which crowd is louder has been a great side story to the 2013 NFL Season. My vote goes with Seattle because CenturyLink field in Seattle seats 12,000 FEWER fans than Arrowhead does in Kansas City. Only a Turkey Day food coma of epic proportions would stop the 12th man.
Beast Mode:
There is nothing I can saw that you can't see in the video.
3. The Legion of Boom – The incendiary secondary of the Seahawks' that personifies everything their nickname stands for. The personalities are far from complementary, from the flamboyant Richard Sherman to the stoic Brandon Browner, they are collectively, in the words of strong safety Kam Chancellor, "a brotherhood." Throw in a first-round pick like Thomas and Canadian Football League refugee like Browner and the individual chips on their shoulders have combined into a mission statement, a force of evil, and a destiny.
4. The Weather – There is usually virtually no chance of snow in November in Seattle. There is always a threat of rain. But with a mild winter climate (compared to the Pennsylvania, New York, Colorado and Boston area teams) the opposing team should not have to alter their game plan to play to the weather. This will allow both teams to bring a full complement of weapons onto the field.
In 2014, I hope the schedule makers bring a Thanksgiving Day night game to Seattle, but even if you don't this 12th man will travel for football.

Graham back on Sunday TV circuit
Days after winning his GOP primary in blowout fashion - and after what's been a slow appearance schedule for him - U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham was back on the Sunday TV talk-show beat.
Graham went on "Face the Nation" June 15 to talk about the crumbling situation in Iraq. It was only his third appearance of the year on any of the regular Sunday roundup shows, according to media tabulations.
Three appearances for the year is way off pace for Graham. Last year he was a Top 4 talking head, with 16 Sunday show sit-downs.
Citadel grads didn't campaign very well
The two graduates of The Citadel in the U.S. Senate primary field weren't readily embraced by Republican voters. Nancy Mace, Class of '99, finished 5th in the seven-way race with 6 percent (19,634 votes). Orangeburg attorney Bill Connor, Class of '90, finished 6th, with 5 percent (16,912 votes).
Only Columbia lawyer Benjamin Dunn, who practically did no campaigning at all, did worse, finishing last with barely 3,000 votes.
The numbers come as the Republican-leaning school has more than 28,000 Corps of Cadets alumni and 8,000 Citadel Graduate College alumni, according to recent figures. Of the 36,000 total, about 65 percent live in South Carolina.
Incumbent Lindsey Graham won the nomination with 56 percent of the turnout, or about 178,833 votes.
Charleston bowl game, pork or pigskin?
A week ago, Republican state Rep. Samuel Rivers of Goose Creek said he was probably going to support Gov. Nikki Haley's veto of an item that would have provided $100,000 in taxpayer money each to the next version of the Medal of Honor Bowl and to two high school post-season games.
While Rivers advocated for the Charleston bowl game, he said he didn't agree with the addition of the two high school contests - the North-South and the Shrine Bowl.
The high school games, which are played in other lawmakers' districts, don't come near the draw that the MOH game at The Citadel creates, Rivers argued, and was worthy of taxpayer support given the amount of publicity, pro scout visits and charity it spawns.
"It was my earmark," Rivers said after choosing to override the governor's veto. "I had to stand by it at the end of the day."
Obama running out of states to not visit
The number of states that President Barack Obama has not visited is shrinking, but Republican-leaning South Carolina is still out in the cold.
Obama last week visited the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, removing one of the last five states from the list of those he's skipped during his presidency.
Despite repeated Democratic hopes that Obama will come to South Carolina, the visit has remained elusive. But there is hope; he made his first trip to Arkansas in May to tour tornado damage. The other states Obama has dodged are Idaho, South Dakota and Utah.
State primaries moving to May?
South Carolina could soon see its June primary switched to May, just like what's done in Georgia. In tandem, the two-week runoff period could be expanded to as much as 45 to 60 days.
S.C. Republican Party Chairman Matt Moore said he may ask the Legislature to change the schedule largely because military residents stationed overseas run the risk of being disenfranchised from sending in ballots by way of the shorter two-week runoff time.
Federal law already is accommodating to military schedules, putting South Carolina in a box, Moore told Republicans in Mount Pleasant last week.
One advantage of moving the primary to May is that it might spark more interest among voters with children in school before politics becomes an after-thought for many in the summer season. One disadvantage is that expanding the time between the election and the runoff from two weeks to up to two months could make the runoff much more expensive.
Pinopolis: Most conservative S.C. town?
The publication "Business Insider" recently assembled a survey of the most conservative and most liberal towns in each of the 50 states, and the 900 or so residents of Pinopolis, on the shores of Lake Moultrie in Berkeley County, were declared the most conservative.
The 300 residents of tiny Gifford, in rural Hampton County, were deemed the most liberal, based on the study questions.
Among the queries seeking response were:
I identify with the Democrats more so than the Republicans.
Abortion should be legal and accessible to all women
I attend religious services regularly; and
There should be more restrictions on purchasing and carrying guns.
Another feature of the survey is that it allows you to interactively test yourself on which town in South Carolina most closely reflects your values.

When I am pressed for time I usually reach for my wok. This time I thought I would stir fry without the oil to try and cut the fat. I also used plain tofu (instead of crispy tofu, which I usually do) to make the dish a little more healthy. Plus, I think I was trying to compensate for the fact that I also made a second dish with coconut milk (which I will post tomorrow).
- 100g rice vermicelli (aka cellophane noodles)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 head of broccoli, cut into small florets
- 6 white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 carrot, sliced ultra thin with a vegetable peeler
- 1/2 pkg firm tofu, cut into strips
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- juice of 1 lime
- 2-4 tbsp soy sauce
1. Put vermicelli in a bowl and cover with boiling hot water. Let sit for 3-4 mins, until soft. Drain and rinse with cold water.
2. Bring the 1/4 cup of water to boiling in a wok. Add in broccoli and stir fry for 2 mins. Add in mushrooms and cook another 2 mins, or until mushrooms begin to soften. Add in carrots and cook another 2 mins. Watch the water level--if it gets to dry add another tbsp or two.
3. Add in tofu, vermicelli, and all sauces and lime juice. Mix well. Adjust sauces to taste (I made it fairly mild for the kids). Ideally, the dish will have some bite from the chili garlic sauce that is tempered by the sweetness of the hoisin sauce and sugar. Bring sauce to bubbling and let absorb into the noodles a bit. Serve

AC/DC: Live at River Plate DVD Launches in Sydney & London
Posted on 18 May 2011
Sydney Metro Threatre & London Hammersmith Apollo
DVD In-store May 10 (US & UK) May 13 (AUS)
In celebration of the world-wide release of AC/DC's Live AT River Plate DVD, AC/DC members rocked up to the exclusive world premiere at HMV Hammersmith Apollo in London on Friday night where over 1000 fans waited outside the venue to catch a glimpse of their rock legends.
Upon arriving, the band signed fan autographs and talked to media on the black carpet (which included two cannons from the tour positioned on either side!). Once inside, in front of 3,500 fans, the band were introduced on stage via an on screen message from Ozzy Osbourne followed by Brian Johnson saying a few words on behalf of the band.
AC/DC Live At River Plate premiered on a large movie screen - roughly the equivalent size of 4 double decker buses stacked! AC/DC Live At River Plate definitively chronicles the band's massive Black Ice World Tour and the history of one of rock music's best live acts.
Locally in Sydney, AC/DC devotees turned up in full force at the Metro Theatre last week for the Australian screening. Shot entirely in HD with 32 cameras, fans experienced the thunderous excitement and intensity of AC/DC Live At River Plate on a large screen positioned between two enormous red caps, sporting the letter 'A' made famous by Angus Young.
AC/DC Live At River Plate will be available for purchase in Australia on Friday May 13, 2011. Shot in December of 2009, AC/DC Live At River Plate marks AC/DC's triumphant return to Buenos Aires after a 13 year absence from Argentina. This stunning live footage of AC/DC underscores what Argentina's Pagina 12 newspaper reported by saying "no one is on the same level when it comes to pure and clear Rock 'n Roll." Directed by David Mallet and produced by Rocky Oldham, AC/DC Live At River Plate features 19 songs (110 minutes) as well as 'behind the scenes' footage of this massive production coming together among the excitement of anxious fans.
AC/DC Live At River Plate will be available on DVD, Blu-Ray and Ltd Edition collector's edition with exclusive t-shirt. Additionally the DVD contains a bonus feature titled "The Fan, The Roadie, The Guitar Tech & The Meat," features interviews with AC/DC, their crew and fans among the excitement of the shows and the city of Buenos Aires.
AC/DC Live At River Plate captures the intensity and power of the band's critically acclaimed Black Ice World tour. The Black Ice album debuted at #1 in 31 countries, including Australia. The tour took AC/DC on a 20 month trek around the globe playing to over 5 million fans in 108 cities in over 28 countries including 14 shows in Australia and New Zealand. The Black Ice World Tour earned AC/DC a Pollstar Award for Major Tour of the Year in 2010.

I'm supposed to be induced on Wednesday due to pre-e discovered yesterday afternoon after a 24hr urine test and finicky blood pressure along with various other symptoms. This is much better than the news we got when I was first sent here. I was told by my doctor I would be induced today (Saturday, at 36+4). MIL WAS THRILLED. WTF, lady? Too early to have this little nugget.
I should mention she's the one who brought me to the hospital because I was with her when my doctor had me admitted. We had a day of last-minute shopping for the babe and pampering for us planned. That quickly changed. Anyway, while I was answering all of the nurses questions and signing a million forms, MIL went to the store to pick me up a few things to make me feel as comfortable as possible. Awesome. She brought back all kinds of goodies for me. At this time, I was only planning on being here *at least* 24 hours. MIL was awesome, as usual. She drops off the stuff, spends some time with me so I'm not entirely alone while waiting for DH to get here, and then leaves before dinner. Yeah, it was a long time spent with her, but we live with his parents and I was a nervous wreck so I appreciated the company. This was on Thursday.
Friday morning at 11:55 I finish my 24hr test. My crazy family calls me at noon exactly asking for results. The nurse hasn't even made it to my room to collect the sample yet. I had told them Thursday I would call as soon as I knew something. I take a nap while I wait to hear my results. I wake up to 5 missed calls; 1 is from DH telling me he's bringing me a treat (strawberries that I have been craving for days. Mmmmm!) 2 from his mom and 2 from my grandmother (who I had previously told I would call back when I knew something. Annoying). 2:00 rolls around. My nurse comes in and tells me I have pre-e, they'll be keeping me until I have the baby, extra testing, bed rest, blah blah blah. My doctor comes in and tells me the awesome news: no induction until 37+1 (Wednesday). I call my family and let them know. Then I call MIL. She says she's disappointed and doesn't understand. What the fuck is disappointing and confusing about letting LO stay in to cook a little bit longer? I'm sorry my child won't be born on your husband's birthday and you won't get to see LO sooner. Later, FIL comes to visit. I honestly can not stand the man, but I appreciate his concern. DH and I tell him everything and he's understanding. Says he's bummed LO won't be born on the 3rd, but is glad he now won't have to share his birthday. We get to talking about the room I'm in and my upcoming induction. DH mentions that besides medical staff, he will be the only one in the room when push time comes. FIL asks "Does your mommy know this?" First of all, DH is 25 and does not call his mother "mommy". Second, I have personally told her I ONLY want DH in the room when it's time to push. She said she completely understood and wishes she would have told everyone the sane when she had her children. But for some reason now she thinks she's going to be in the room? Hell. No. Now she's all pouting and sad. Just because I'm being induced doesn't mean anything has changed lady. Calm down. Also I found out since I have been here (mind you it is only 5am Saturday and I have been here since Thursday mid-morning) sje has purchased a changing pad, cover for it, a bouncer, diapers and other changing accessories, and several other things for the downstairs of her house. This would be fine if I DIDN'T LIVE WITH HER and already have ALL of this stuff. DH now feels like she is going to try to mother my child when we return home. I feel the same way. Over my dead fucking body. I'm just not exactly sure what to do. Ideas or suggestions, mommas?
Thank you for reading this and I'm sorry for any typos -- I'm on my phone and a little sleep deprived. Also, TIA for comments!

"Nokia (NOK) has mostly nailed the design with the Lumia 925, but Windows Phone (MSFT) is holding it back," writes The Verge's Tom Warren while rating the phone 8.1/10. Warren likes the 925's aluminum build, performance, and low-light camera shots, but Windows Phone's app issues (not just in terms of availability, but also quality relative to similar iOS/Android apps) and missing features (reliable notifications, 1080p display support, etc.) remain a problem. Engadget's Mat Smith offers a similar take. Nokia exec Vesa Jutila admitted last month missing apps remains the "biggest complaint" of Lumia users; Microsoft is trying to address the problem by paying some developers $100K+ to build WP8 apps.

Expensive Metal / Aluminium look is what user craved for. Metal is expensive and most manufacturers made best use of metal by increasing the display surface area of Metal. Take note of HTC One or iPhone. These phones have complete metal exterior and gives the premium look which s3/4 are lacking. Lumia 925 has a big piece of metal, that's enough for phones back plate. But where did they put it? They have kept it inside the phone and covered it with Plastic. It ended up like a metal bumper on the edges and it doesn't give premium Metal unibody look. Nokia failed at best use of resource.
Nokia traditional strength is Mobile hardware. It is restricting it's ability to compete in the market by restricting itself to Windows Phone. Android has become the Windows of PC era, while iOS stays the same position, Windows phone may grab a respectful Linux size of PC market share. I have used Android and Windows Phone, both for reasonable amount of time. Despite the impressive windowsPhone OS I am unable to move away from Android. The reality is Android established itself as leader in this space -despite the technical arguments I have heard- that war is won by Android not by MSFT. This reality won't roll back to 2009 for Nokia. I appreciate S Elop for turning around the elephant but Nokia Devices division future is not in Windows phone.
Sure, Android for the win. You know, since MS are such slouches at OS development. Everyone said the same thing back in 1985 when MS was using DOS and Apple had a "windows" GUI.
exactly La Rue
The problem with professional tech reviewers in particular of the type at Verve is that their experience and needs match an incredibly small percentage of the super hardcore who use a million apps many of which are very niche.
The problem with App story is – I don't need millions of apps I just use 8 or 9 apps that's all I need. I can't find most of them. Might sound laughable but here is the fact. I am Nokia shareholder bought lumia phones for family but not for myself- That's the reality.
My Bank doesn't care about building windows app. They say they have Android and Iphone app and no plans to make windows any time soon. My Trading platform people told me that it takes a million dollars to build a decent iphone style trading app in windows which they don't want to commit.
Most of my regional apps – which I use in my home country- Local new paper or ecommerce Auction site in my part of world and my local language apps are not there. None of them have plans to build one.
Guys and gals, once the word is out that Win Phone is here to stay, the apps will flow freely in, just like they have with the Windows OS. Give it a year. And unlike Android, I'll bet that wince MS is paying for the apps, they will give them away preloaded or download on demand.
"The problem with App story is – I don't need millions of apps I just use 8 or 9 apps that's all I need. I can't find most of them."
@ User 6348921
Why do you need special apps for WP if you just can log in on your bank account using internet banking on your phone?
I can trade with my Lumia 800 just by logging in to the site of my broker.
And if you really fancy special financial apps, there are many stock apps available on WP, MSN Money Stocks, My Stocks, Portfolio, Account tracker, etc.
Monsieur Wonder, of course practically anything can be accessed via the browser. We all know that. The thing is though - iOS and Android users have been suckled on the app paradigm for very many years. Many commercial services launching today advertise on billboards "iOS and Android app - get it here". Sweden's or Germany's biggest fast food delivery services - no WP8 app. French online clothing stores - no WP8 app. Consumers are fickle, whether you like it or not.
@ System
System, of course calling your potential customer base "stupid" is not efficient. Finally we come to agree on something for the last few weeks.
Phones, phablets and tablets change, as they have higher screen resolutions.
Banks on the other hand, soon come to realize that they can save huge amounts of costs by not making special apps anymore.
Well, I'm not leaving work today to photograph billboards for food services, accommodation services or public transport. You can just as well visit popular services' websites to see there are no WP8 apps for many.
Saying that I should search on the internet to back up your statements is a bit too easy, don't you think?
Your bank will care about building windows app's, they do not have a choice anymore. Instead of complaining here about the apps you should complain at your bank. building an app is mostly expensive because of design. If a bank or another organization already has an app the design is already done. I think building or non building decisions of apps are based on the same biased feelings the reviewers of the above articles have. They are not getting build because somebody at some board room is against it for the hate of windows/Microsoft.
AppSwitch might be useful if you are looking for equivalent apps
AppSwitch will find them from Froid and Ios for w8
"Still you found the time to post more than 2.900 comments."
Apps will continue to be less of an issue as we get closer to Blue and future updates. Blue is a step closer to a unified, shared kernel and the closer MSFT gets the sooner the app problem goes away, theres a lot more incentive to write an app for a platform the spans desktop, mobile, and tablet.
I'm finding it interesting that in the last week, while you were sounding out the negatives (perceived or otherwise) of WP, your 150 share sold position would have netted you 25 thousand USD plus.
"I'm finding it interesting that in the last week, while you were sounding out the negatives (perceived or otherwise) of WP, your 150 share sold position would have netted you 25 thousand USD plus.
"People think they need an app to search for "app". I guess they have forgotten the word "browser."
I have to speak up. My mom and I moved from feature phones to Lumia 822's this Spring. We love our Lumia phones! We do not miss "apps" -- mom plays games from Xbox downloads, and I have what I need - and love Skybox, Bloomberg, Accuweather, and live tiles of the photos I take of family outings.
If Nokia wants to make it they need to get Android users to switch to Lumia. That's where the apps are locking in the users.
Different audiences are targeted by these two models. Lumia 925 clearly targets iPhone users, while EOS targets photographers and desperate geeks. Personally, I'd only look at EOS out of curiosity and for its exceptional technological achievement, however, it's certainly not a phone that I'd ever buy.
Goog paying OEMs a percentage of the gross to use no charge copies of Android meant many millions of copies of Android were guaranteed to be in the hands of mobile users who were eager to get inexpensive or free phones so app developers were/are eager to participate.
These statements are consistent with everything from the "Verge" and "Engadget", blah blah blah...Love Apple, blah blah blah...Like Android, blah blah blah, don't like anything Microsoft.
Sure. You can see by analysing the age-band of verified purchasers in various online shops (carriers, electronics stores) that, for example, the Lumia 52x seems to enjoy popularity in the older demographic. But these assumptions could well be distorted, because the younger demographic is less interested to write after-purchase comments and reviews and is overall more negligent.
I have often wondered how many apps the average phone owner actually uses, and how many apps they have installed. Most people I ask say they use significantly less than 10, though they often have 30+ or more installed. The exception in my very small study is gamers, they seem to have quite a few more that they use. Would appreciate anyones observations on this subject. As noted above, I would really miss the few apps I use, in particular Fidelity app. Not sure I would switch if Fidelity app is not available, much as I crave a Nokia.
The WP complaints are about one thing only "WINDOWS", these people don't like it and won't ever like it!
The Verge´s final thoughts are strange sometimes.
Lumia 925
"Lack of apps"
A reliable workhorse
Galaxy S4
Sheer number of features can be overwhelming
Performance can suffer in odd Places
Origi, you are spot-on with your improved time-to-market comment.
MS only grew on me when i could use open source and 3rd party software. If the WP platform bans that type of development, WP platforms are going to never catch Android. It will be a slow burn to irrelevance. Balmer is high if he thinks a proprietary OS can compete with an OS that allows 3rd party and open source programs/apps. Totally incompetent. It's only going to take a few really nice 3rd party/Open Source proggies that only run on Android to destroy the proprietary only, closed WP platform.
I don't get this argument about lacking apps, I use the nokia 822, and if there is no app, I just make a thumbnail of their website, then put it on my screen as a live tile. I did this for cnn for a few months, then now they have the app for w8, and I put that on my main screen instead. Wp8 is by far more advanced than android. I will never move back. Just need to be patient for developers to realize this...
APP this!
It really doesn't matter to me anyway. For anything business and typing intensive, such as writing this comment, I'm going to be tethered to my laptop anyway, which runs Firefox. So I could really care less about $tupid app tricks. The only time I will buy a smart phone is when they really become smart, as in allowing me to tether cheaply, quickly, and reliably enough to stop buying either DSL or Cable.
I guarantee anybody complaining about the top end Nokia phones are using an apple phone or an android run phone.when I got my iPhone I was so proud to have it..but once I tried the Nokia 928, I knew I had an obsolete phone.lets face it Apple got caught wth their pants down..if you can't. Beat them then join them..my Nokia cost only 100.00 and is so much better. If apple builds a better phone I may go back but I doubt it. Your only as good as your last phone.
Really people,
Taking a look at the upcoming 8.1 opportunities for enterprise, what's missing and what's there already:
Takes a look at how WP8 does a good enterprise job (except for VPN), even with the app deficit.
Takes a look at the leaked updates for Win8.1 and WinRT (if WP8.1 mirrors this it could "possibly" mean better enterprise support including VPN, don't get excited, WP probably won't get 8.1 until 2014)
Ok, this one is just for fun and has no enterprise value but BYOD means it's your device, wouldn't you like quad core and perhaps 1080p in 8.1 WP devices ;-)
Zello Push to Talk app coming to Windows Phone
"...wouldn't you like quad core and perhaps 1080p..."
system..you write like a very spoiled little kid.. maybe give them some time to give you all that you want????
Yes, in our field of business, we are all making absolutely unreasonable demands. We care too much about productivity and usability and should focus more on leisure and nerdtastic little tricks. Here's one more essential WP8 shortcoming:
Well folks, this is a very long thread indeed. May I comment on the AAPs business? Agree with the guy who noted that if your broker or bank does not have an "app" it does not matter because you should be using their website. If they don't have a website, run, screaming, far far away. I note that there is a tendency for apps to insert themselves as third parties into transactions that used to involve only two parties - for example a purchase of some sort, or an airline boarding pass. For a fee to somebody, of course. I am not happy with this tendency, due to the possible complications for business transactions - for this read "mistakes". Billing errors made at the speed of light can take days to fix at the speed of phone calls and letters.
I have noted that, far and away, most complaints about apps come from young, very bright, tech savvy folks. While they are not representative of the bulk of users, they are VERY influential in forming broad attitudes about software and hardware systems. It is now very clear that Nokia has great respect, as it should, for solid hardware. However, the lurching Steve Balmer and Microsoft are still playing a plodding bad guy to the cool 'bots from android. That may never change. But the apps situation, for those who need them, will improve in windows phone.

What are you most proud of? it's a simple pattern that beginners who can knit in the round can go for - and accomplish some VERY basic lace in the process! I'm also proud of how many people have knit and loved this pattern so far. :)
What advice would you give someone starting this project? i did not list a gauge. many people have gotten aggravated about this, but the first thing that i'll say is that it's a FREE PATTERN. i shared it because i felt like it. if you're a loose knitter, you may want to think about using smaller needles. if you're a tight knitter, use a size larger. and there are suggestions in the pattern for modifying for slouchier or less slouchy.

Status: Not yet recruiting
Keywords: stroke , rehabilitation , motor skills , sildenafil
IRB Number: 00053515
Specialty: Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Sub Specialties: Stroke ,
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine safety, feasibility and effect on stroke recovery of administering sildenafil to participants with acute stroke. We expect that we will be able to recruit our target number of participants, demonstrate that it is feasible to retain them in the study without serious adverse effects related to the study or side effects uncomfortable enough to cause them to drop out of the study, and that we will be able to calculate a valid effect size for each group.
An additional purpose of this study is to examine the brain white matter and activation changes in the motor system following this therapy in order to delineate neural mechanisms of stroke recovery associated with this therapy.
A double blind randomized, controlled trial will be used. Participants will be randomized to receive 25mg of sildenafil or placebo the day after baseline testing is completed, but no later than day 11 post-stroke and will continue for the next 14 days. They will continue with usual rehabilitation. The occupational and physical therapists providing rehabilitation will record the content of each therapy session. Participants will be tested for upper extremity and lower extremity motor function at baseline, and then every week during inpatient rehabilitation. They will be retested at 1 month and at 3 months following inpatient rehabilitation. The amount and type of therapy they receive during this follow-up period will also be monitored.

"The only thing that gives me pleasure is to see my dividend coming in." –John D. Rockefeller.
I've been taking a look at dividend stocks lately, if recent post about how dividend stocks rock [3] is any indication, because of how dividends are taxed. To help me make sure I'm not going off track, or falling too much in love with them, I asked The Dividend Guy to write a guest post on where these types of stocks fit in your portfolio.
Dividends have been helpful in my portfolio. However, I have not simply used dividends for the sake of using dividends because I like the income. Instead, I have a very specific strategy that has worked well for me. Perhaps this strategy may work for you, or you can adjust it to fit your own needs. Either way, I would love to hear your comments so that we all can learn a little bit more about this game we call investing.
What Are Dividends
Before we get into it, let's quickly discuss what dividends are. Dividends are essentially cash payments to shareholders that are paid out from a company's earnings. It is as simple as that.
In slightly more detail, companies use dividends to pass on their profits directly to shareholders. The most common method of dividend payment is in the form of cash: a company will pay a small percentage of its profits to the owner of each share of stock. Sometime dividends can be paid as more shares, however that is not nearly as common.
Why Dividends
People invest for dividends for a number of reasons, however the primary one is that they are looking for income from those shares. Income aside, there are really two other reasons investors use dividends as part of an investment strategy:
1. Compound Growth
Dividends provide an investor with cash they can use. One option is simply spending that money on that new TV. However, as we are all dedicated investors that is not what we are doing right? Instead, we are funneling those dividends back into our portfolio. Investing these dividends into more investments provides us with a compounding effect in our portfolios. I will talk about this later.
2. A Big Part of Historical Returns
Dividends have been a huge contributor to stock market returns in the past. Have a look at the following chart from Plexus Asset Management:
As it is clear to see, dividends have been a huge component of stock market returns and I don't think can be ignored as part of a well built portfolio.
The Most Powerful Dividends
The real crux of a dividend investor's strategy often lies in one real important concept: dividend growth. Dividend growth stocks are the creme de la creme of dividend stocks. In essence, dividend growth stocks are stocks that increase their dividends year after year for many years.
If you look at the following chart, from fellow dividend investor Dividend Growth Investor [4], you can see how dividend growers have done compared to other components of the market. These are the stocks that we are interested in.
How to Use Dividend Growth in Your Portfolio
Now let's get into how to use dividend growth in a portfolio. Here are three ways that I like to suggest people go about it.
1. Build a core portfolio of index funds
As a dividend investor, people are usually surprised when I say that the first step in build a dividend portfolio is building a core portfolio of index funds. The market is hard to beat, and in this day and age any investor who lags the performance of the market is missing out.
As such, the first step I suggest is to determine an asset allocation that meets your needs, and then populate that asset allocation with low cost index funds or index ETFs.
2. Supplement with Dividend Growth Stocks
Once that core portfolio is build up, then an investor can move on to dividend growth stocks. There are two alternatives to do that:
Alt 1: Find Index Funds that Track Dividend Growth
The easiest and most diversified way to add a dividend growth component to your portfolio is to use index funds that track dividend growth stocks. These funds buy a basket of securities that are known to be dividend growth stocks.
One option for these types of funds include the The PowerShares Dividend Achievers Portfolio (PFM), which is based on the Mergent Broad Dividend Achievers Index. These companies are U.S. equities with at least 10 consecutive years of dividend growth.
Another example is the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY), which tracks the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index. This index is comprised of companies that have increased dividends for at least 25 years.
Research these funds and see how they can be incorporated into your overall asset allocation.
Alt 2: Buy Your Own – Start with Dividend Aristocrats
The other alternative for dividend growth investing is buying individual stocks on their own. This can be a good alternative if you have the time, inclination for intensive stock research, and money available to buy a number of dividend growth stocks to ensure proper diversification. If you do meet these prerequisites, then the best place to start your research is with the Dividend Aristocrat index. As mentioned, these are stocks that have a 25 year track record of increasing dividends and typically represent fundamentally strong and stable companies.
Keep in mind, individual stock selection is tricky so you need to really do your homework because any stock can tank quickly (remember Bank of America). The full stock selection process is obviously beyond the scope of this article so if you are interest in this do some digging around the internet for how to research stocks.
3. Reinvest Those Dividends
This is an important step, because it is where the real gains come from. As I mentioned earlier, investors use dividends for the compounded growth that can provide. To get that growth, it is important to take those dividends received, and funnel them back into additional investment assets. That can mean buying more of the company that was paying you the dividends, or using the dividends to buy shares in one of your core index funds or other dividend shares. Either way, you are putting that money back to work for you.
A dividend growth strategy is a very powerful tool in a portfolio. The compounded growth and high portion of stock market returns that come from dividends cannot be ignored. If this is of interest to you, then consider the suggestions for how to use dividend growth in your own portfolio and start to make some changes.

Featured Golf News
'Golf & the American Country Club'
On the back cover of this book is this statement: "Pairing a conversational tone with rock-solid scholarship, 'Golf and the American Country Club' offers a readable and even-handed treatment of a venerable and controversial American institution." I was surprised to learn that there has been controversy over country clubs. Maybe this book would edify me. It did not. Additionally, I did not find rock-solid scholarship by author Richard J. Moss.
After reading 20 pages, Moss totally convinced me to stop, but I had promised the editor I would finish it. What a chore. It reads like a textbook with no enthusiasm or interest, while containing lots of conjecture about clubs and social structure. In an effort to compare authors, I picked up "To Win and Die in Dixie" by Steve Eubanks. Within 10 pages, Eubanks hooked me. I wanted to continue reading until I finished his book. That's the difference between these writers: one grabs the reader and the other just writes.
The first third of "Golf and the American Country Club" is very repetitious and could have been done in one or two chapters. It deals with the origin of clubs; Moss made it sound as if this was unusual, when clubs of these types were happening all over the country; Lions and Kiwanis and others were growing and yet had specific rules about who could join. On page 59, Moss spends almost the whole page on the "virtues and vices of golf." I thought: What does this have to do with clubs in America and is his opinion necessary? He claims it is the one game you can play alone. Guess he never went bowling.
The first two-thirds of the book cover clubs in the Northeast part of the country and a few in the Chicago area. It leads a reader to believe that these were the only parts of the country where clubs and golf were connected, and that nothing was going on anywhere else in the nation despite the book's title. Just for Moss's edification: the Pacific Northwest Golf Association was founded in 1899 and is the fifth oldest golf association in the U.S.
The PNGA is still going strong and has a great history of courses and clubs. Many of its founding clubs started in the 1890s (elsewhere in the West, San Diego CC started in 1899), indicating that Moss did not do a lot of due diligence. He did do a nice job discussing Marion Hollins and the founding of Pasatiempo in California, but it took 140 pages to get there.
He talks about caddies in several areas yet never brings up the Evans Scholars Program and how it was started by Chicagoan Chick Evans. This is a wonderful story - which revolves around country clubs and the largesse of their members - that has been going on for 80 years and has helped many young people.
Moss also claims that people considered golf frivolous during World War II. Yet there are books that show how much good came from golf during the war by touring pros that went around the country staging exhibitions and raising millions of dollars for the war effort. Thousands of people came out to watch these pros, many of whom later volunteered for military service and lost their lives.
During the Depression many private clubs stayed open, sustaining jobs and paying wages. To this day, American country clubs have created thousands of jobs and boosted the economy. In the state of Washington, a recent economic study presented to the legislature contains facts which show golf revenues rank among in the top-10, outpacing the state's vaunted wheat industry.
While trying to finish this book - which was a chore - I occasionally picked up "To Win and Die in Dixie" and read a few pages. I've managed to get to page 67 and can tell you to buy this book. It's the story of James Douglas Edgar, who invented the modern golf swing and was revered by no less a figure than Bobby Jones. I do not know how it will end, but it sure is fun to read. That one is a winner, while the other, well . . .
"Golf & the American Country Club," by Richard J. Moss, University of Illinois Press, 232 pages, $19.95, ISBN 978-0-252-07413-4.
Dr. John Wagner has been a Seattle dentist for 37 years. He's been published in several dental journals as well as had several articles appear in the turf magazine for Pacific Northwest golf course superintendents. John served as a guest lecturer at the University of Washington Business School for several years and as a guest lecturer for several dental societies. Dr. Wagner is the co-designer (with Steve Shea of the Berger Partnership) of a golf course in Japan that cost over $120 million and was built by Wadsworth Golf Construction.

SALEM - A crowd of 30 people including entertainers, vendors, organizers, enthusiasts and city officials attended the second 2012 Salem Super Cruise meeting at city hall Wednesday night.
Last month's organizational meeting also drew 30 people as the city prepares for its 7th annual super cruise set for the June 21-24 weekend.
This is the third year for the city to organize and manage the cruise and Service Safety Director Ken Kenst had the high school art class design a new logo for the 2012 event.
Council President Mickey Cope Weaver had six black and white logos that were submitted.
"I should like to get an opinion tonight," she said and passed around the copies for each person to select the one they liked the best.
Cope Weaver expected to release the winning design on Friday or over the weekend.
Kenst listed a number of committee heads including Ron Waite, advertising, Mick Orosz, concessions, Patty Colian, parking and registration, while Jim Bonfert will have oversight duties, Debbie Bricker was appointed cleanup committee chair and Tom Hall and John Borza will manage the Show n' Shine. That event, held on Sunday, will again be sponsored by Salem Expert Tire.
The cruise route, parade and motorcycle committees are yet to be set.
Since the last meeting, Kenst said he has contacted Big Al's List and Cruisin' Times magazine to obtain more publicity. He has received demo information from three DJ's and five bands "so far."
After the meeting, Gene Johnson, who organizes the weekly Arby's cruises, said it was a good thing to get involved with Cruisin' Times and suggested a photographer be assigned "to take pictures of the event" that can be uploaded to a photo section of Cruisin' Times.
"It doesn't cost a penny to show all the pictures," Johnson said.
Hall asked about using the Second Street Plaza for concessions and parking, noting that at some point State Street and East Pershing Street will overflow.
"If this continues to grow, you can't handle everything on State Street and Pershing and you'll have to go to the other side of town," he said and wondered about obtaining permission from the banks to use their lots off of Second Street.
Kenst said he needed to speak with Orosz first, noting there was electricity up there for four or six concession trailers, and Orosz chimed in later saying he needed to see how much amperage was available.
"I'm looking more for people coming rather that cars," Kenst said, "I think Second Street would be good" and Mark Slocum asked about charging a parking fee in the Timberlanes' lot.
Hall said that would turn him off.
"If I'm going somewhere and they want my money ..." Hall said ... and Steve Bailey picked up his thought, "You chase people away if you take their money."
One guest asked about overhead street banners and Councilman Brian Whitehill noted that Winston banners were placed across the street for the divisional drag racing events years ago.
One other guest said the stores hardly had any signs and Bonfert noted there are couple of digital signs on businesses that could promote the event.
"We want to make this as visitor and car friendly as possible," Kenst said.
Crime Watch President Roe Haskin asked about tying in with the Steel Valley Super Nats at Quaker City Motorosports Park and Kenst said he met with them and was given an advertising fee schedule, but added, "I'm hesitant to send money (out)."
B.J. Abrams asked if the cruise paid money to them last year and Kenst said, "No, nothing."
Bailey asked about police in the downtown area on Thursday night.
Thursday kicks off the event with the Dunkin' Donut cruise at its east end store.
Bailey said most of the activity is on that end of town and wondered about saving taxpayers money on Thursday and on Sunday afternoon by not having police downtown.
Kenst said they have to schedule police ahead of time and Haskin said, "On Thursday, usually Crime Watch is out there ... so there really isn't anything needed on Thursday night."
Orsoz wanted to get some entertainment in the downtown area on Thursday.
"Everyone's at the other end of the town," he said, adding that the Timberlanes' lot was also open on Sunday.
"We noticed a lot more people on Sunday (last year)," he said, adding he heard Stadium GM was toying with the idea of holding a Corvette show on Sunday.
"Maybe we should stay open until 6 p.m. Sunday," he said.
Kenst saiad, "If we're advertising Thursday through Sunday maybe we should have something."
He added, "We can make the plan ... that it's (the weather) going to be nice on Sunday ..." and someone jokingly suggested getting the Salem News and Chesapeake Energy to help with sponsorship.
From there, dogs, dash plaques and the next meeting, set for 7 p.m. March 14, were discussed.

Week Two: Apolo Ohno Is in the House!Well, folks, no skinny-dipping this week! Too busy learning my old dance moves from last tour.
Our buddy Joey Fatone was whisked away to Hollywood for the week for a prior engagement so now I am the lucky dance partner of Kym Johnson, Fatone's partner from last season. Joey was replaced by the champion himself – Mr. Apolo Ohno! Apolo only had one day of rehearsals but he banged it out true to his form and gave it his all. The fans were thrilled to see Julianne Hough and Apolo together live. Julianne and I will be partners again after Apolo does these five dates out on tour.
In the meantime, Kym and I are carrying on a torrid affair on the floor. It's a lot of fun out there with her.
The crowds really love the show. There have been a bunch of changes from last tour. Some – I gotta be honest – I wasn't so sure about, but as we get a couple of shows under our belt, we are working out the kinks. The Four Horsemen (the three Joeys and one Drew) called a meeting and worked out a few glitches that make the show go a little smoother. Louis Van Amstel, the ultra-talented choreographer and dancer, was very accommodating and it turns out we were all on the same page. Okay, enough about logistics...
There is a new part in the show that is a gas, gas, gas. We call it our "Rat Pack" tribute. The Joeys and Drew get out there and do a few great standards from that swinging era and then we close with something from Frankie Valli – a couple of stingy brim hats, a few steps in line and a lot of laughs! It's a nice surprise for the audience.
We all have a music background and it's cool to do something together. Of course, those guys can't touch me in the first act, when I get to croon a couple of songs from my new CD of standards, Talk to Me.
That's what I love about DWTS – it's brought back the "Song and Dance Man." And I love fillin' those shoes.
Read last week's blog post.
Keep checking back to People.com for more blog posts from Joey on the Dancing with the Stars tour!

Check out that goofy grin! This 6 year-old girl is relatively social but can sometimes forget her manners....happens to the best of us! Lady needs to be the only pet in the house.
She does seem to be a bit stiff/sore so her exercise should be monitored so that she doesn't over-do it or hurt herself. Because of her size, strength and dominance Lady should not go to a home with children under 8. Her forever home should be able to provide love, patience, and boundaries. She has attended a basic obedience course while here at the shelter.
