text: Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey Tweeted out an interesting picture this week.In writing, "in LA getting it," Heyward-Bey posted a photo of what appeared to be a post-workout pic. Nothing unusual there, right? Not with Heyward-Bey flanked by Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer, tight end David Ausberry and fellow receiver Eddie McGee.But the fifth member of the photo is what got tongues wagging -- Terrell Owens.Might the 38-year-old T.O., who is still insisting he can play in the NFL despite last suiting up in the league for, ahem, Palmer and Cincinnati in 2010, be angling for a tryout with the Raiders?Well, the veterans minimum for a 10-plus-year vet for the 2012 season would be 925,000, so he could come relatively cheap. And the 49ers across the Bay are taking a similar risk with Randy Moss.I lobbed the question on my Thursday chat if anything should be made of T.O. purportedly working out with Raiders players, and the answers were pretty predictableThat even at his age To he still in better shape than all those guys. -- Ghost of M BushYes, that TO called CP, begged him for another publicity opportunity.. -- Emil the DaneT.O. was the cheerleader. You know how he could work those pom palms -- grayTO cannot play LB but he can play victim well -- richardinaboxTO was there to plant a seed in R mK like we he is at Laker games and tries to be incognito ..but ends up kiising himself during the Kiss Cam -- T O's AgentHe probably wouldn't be a bad possession receiver. The second he acts up show him the door. -- TheRoddyPSo I ask you -- should the Raiders at least kick the proverbial tires on T.O. (as I duck for cover)?

- - 2012 vs 2013 DC Status (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boots/51682-2012-vs-2013-dc-status.html)
2012 vs 2013 DC Status
Hey all,
this is my first post but I have been a long time reader (there is a lot of great information to learn on this site!)
Now I'll start off by saying I am in no way asking you guys which boot is best for me (I have read enough forums to know what kind of answers to expect to that ha ha). I finally decided to upgrade my snowboard boots this year and after a lot searching I fell in love with the DC Status boots and I was able to get a pretty decent deal on a pair of the 2012 model to save me some money (being a broke college student and all). Well now, thanks to whiskymilitia.com, I was able to get a pair of the 2013's for $170 and once shipping is all said and done it will be roughly the same cost as my 2012's.
So what I'm getting at, is there much or any difference between the 2012 and 2013 models? The only thing I could find was the protective U bar around the outside boa and the better color scheme. Is there any other benefits that anyone knows of that would make it worth the hassle of returning my other ones and waiting another two weeks for these?
All help/input will be greatly appreciated and if this was a stupid question I apologize for wasting your time!

I just got status, 2013. Great deal on WM......
I think they moved the BOA dial from the outside to the inside didn't they? You'd see that obviously.
From my research I don't recall anything major being changed. Call DC and ask them...... they were helpful when I called.
what is WM? I am looking to purchase these boots also.
Just read the post, Whiskey Militia
just ordered 2012's from EVO. $186, never did see them pop up on WM and can't wait any longer. Funky colors but that stuff really does not matter to me.
Thats some amazing color imo. Like one of the best matching scheme
Down the line its snowboarding mang... Supose to be funky
2013 changes Status
traction on the bottom of the 2013, the clear part, it crumbles apart, this is why they are on SAC, they want you to be stuck with them

I am not here looking for a long term relationship. I will be honest I have also realized I like my freedom and though I am far from being a slut I would like to have a list of select sexual/play partners. If a relationship does develop I would like it to be open with the established rule that we both get tested once a month and that we are open and honest about who we slept/played with. I would also like it if we both okay-ed who the other sleeps/plays with. This is all new to me so growing pains may happen.
I am learning more and more every day how to be more open and not so in my head. I believe in being completely honest and I expect the same from other people. If you make a mistake admit it.
If your married or seeing someone that's ok. As long as I am not your dirty little secret and your spouse/partner knows about me then we should have no problem. I have always said I refuse to be someone's secret bit on the side or mistress. It not only hurts the person you are with but hurts me also.
Ok so I think that's everything. If you have questions or wanna chat hit me up.
Music: The Beatles...Yes please I LOVE them, this is another area where I am really eclectic.
Books: Yep you guessed it...it varies on my mood at the time. Though Sci fi/Fantasy seem to dominate my bookcases.
Show: Big Bang, The Simpsons, Supernatural, Firefly, and the list goes on and on.
Basically if it catches my interest and holds it I like it. Very few obsessions. The Beatles and Star Wars are two of those obsessions. Not a fan of Harry Potter. There is a very good reason for this.
2. My cats. They are my kids.
3. Books
5. Theater
6. My car

Health insurer seeks rate hikeJune 03,2014
MONTPELIER — Vermont's largest health insurance provider wants to raise its rates by an average of 9.8 percent for people and small businesses covered through the state's health benefits exchange, Vermont Health Connect.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont says it's asking the Green Mountain Care Board to approve the rate increases for 2015.
Blue Cross covers about 58,000 Vermonters through the health care exchange. Blue Cross has about 200,000 customers in the state. Customers not covered through the exchange are not affected by this increase.
Blue Cross President Don George says the company recognizes the increase could be difficult for many members covered through the exchange.
He says the factors driving the rate increase are almost entirely related to federal policy changes and increases in prices paid to medical providers in Vermont.MORE IN This Just InSOUTH BURLINGTON While thinking about space exploration might be associated with Cape...

So someone starts working at a job, and after their first week, they receive their first paycheck: They are overjoyed... only to discover that a large percentage of their own pay had to be deducted for tax-related issues, at which point they are angered. This is a TruthInTelevision.
[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
* Subverted in ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'', where Peter mentions how much of his pay was cut when he received his first paycheck from his summer job at the movie theater, and Roger says "Welcome to the world of taxes." Peter then reveals that he wasn't referring to taxes, but to the price of all the theater snacks he helped himself to.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'': Dilbert and Wally are very well aware of this trope. When they have to give a new worker their first paycheck (a person who previously got paid in full for her jobs), they donned earmuffs to block out her screams of anguish when she saw how much was deducted. It didn't save their coffee, though.
[[folder:Live-Action Television]]
* ''{{Friends}}'': "Who is Fica and why is she getting all my money?"
* In ''8 Simple Rules'', an episode focuses on Bridget getting her first job. When she receives her paycheck, the check is blank and she owes the store she works for money because she bought so many clothes and "forgot about tax".
* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Happens to Miss Brooks in ''Easter Outfit''. Miss Brooks finds the $50.00 she earned working at the board of education during spring break to be considerably eroded by tax deductions.

wait for the end of the match:still Magnus challenger is!Whishy is the champion
JJust a little perspective, with today's victory the odds for Magnus to win has been put at 50 to 1 but yes, stranger things have happened before :)..
Stockfish 4, Houdini 3 and Komodo 5.1 should challenge Carlsen :)
At the cost of jumping the gun, assuming Carlsen wins the ongoing 2013 WCC , whom would you like to challenge him in 2014? Do give a brief justification as well why you think he would be the right candidate to give Magnus a serious fight.
The candidates have been finalized. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship_2014
1. Anand
2. Kramnik
3. Andreikin
4. Topalov
5. Mamedyarov
6. Aronian
7. Karjakin
8. Svidler
Kramnik is the obvious answer. He ALMOST beat Carlsen out for the right to play Anand for the championship. he's one of the best players of all times at forcing draws, and he has beat a dominating, unstoppable player before in a championship match in Kasparov.
The answer has to be Kramnik
To me, it is Kramnik who can still pull off...and then, may be Nakamura.
Pity that Naka has not qualified for the candidates..would have definitely added some spice..
I wouldn't rate his chances very high at the moment, but I think Karjakin could be the best bet in a year. He's still improving, and he has youth on his side.
It would be great if he were to rise to number 2, and Carlsen-Karjakin became an epic rivalry like Kasparov-Karpov.
My money would be on a Carlsen-Anand rematch, but Carlsen vs Nakamura would make for one entertaining match to see.
Pity Nakamura is not there. I would have likes to see that.
But yeah, Aronian would be good.
First choice Kramnik, second choice Aronian. Carlsen would toast Nakamura.
With the rate Carlsen is playing, guess all the qualifiers for the 2014 candidates will need to get togther and play a handicap sort of match to bring down the Mozart!
Probably they could have Nakamura as a second to throw in some one or two wild openings :).
My favorite players are the two most likely to challenge Carlsen next. It is hard to decide between them.
Kramnik or Aronian? I like them both.
I prefer Sergey Karjakin who became a GM at the age of 14, eight months before Carlsen became GM.
Karjakin is an expert on the Berlin.
His rating is going in the wrong direction at the moment though.
What Rooperi meant is that Nakamura hasnt qualified for the next year's candidates...Pity, would have been interesting to have had him thrown in as a wild card..
I'd like to play him but at estimated ELO of 1760 I think I need to get my rating up a bit.
Well..in that case may be you can go as part of the seconds team with the challenger
Caruana would be good, although he's not in the tournament. I wouldn't bet against him being the one who eventually de-thrones Carlsen.
With Anand almost running away to the finish line and all others crowded a distant 1.5 points behind, wonder if having Nakamura in this Candidates tournament would have made things a bit more interesting..

In Jan 2009 it was 14% and they cam in at -1.9% in January 2010. With a much tougher comp in Feb and bad weather the Feb comp # could be down mid single digits or worse. That does not sound like a recipe for a rally imo.
looks like you were correct. SSS for Feb up 5.1%.
I think SSS will be strong. After last month, the bar is lower. The list of states that BKE stores are in, aren't in the majority of states that got pounded with snow. Most of them are in the west midwest and south. Mich. and Minn. have many, but NY only three, New Jersey only three and Maryland has three. On the flip side Cal. has nineteen stores. I say good SSS and good earnings. We can always have an over/unders poll, like a football total for fun.
You may be able to cover for a profit if Feb SSS look bad, but Q4 is due on March 11, and Oct-Dec numbers were all better than forecasts not to mention sales from new stores and online sales (which have been strong) I don't see a very long window of opportunity to cover, and if Feb numbers look good, you'll be in trouble.
Just noting that they have a heavy capital expense period here with 11 new store openings and a $27 million expenditure primarily occuring in the first half of the fy against a backdrop of slowing SSS. Nah I have not covered yet btw. Short at around 30.80 avg.
We'll see what happens. SSS were down in Jan, but Earnings were still up over 4%. Come later this year comps will get easier and they will have a ton of cash on the books. You could be right about a correction short term, but you are wrong if you think this under performs the market further out.
Keep in mind that Feb 2008 comps were up 24% so the Feb 2009 figure up 21% was even more incredible.January 2008 comps were 19% and then 14% last year and down to -1.2% this past January.BKE has indicated they need 4% sss comps to get operating leverage.Most recently they closed 4 stores in January and have close to $30 million in expense related to the new distribution center that has to be addressed in the first half of this year.The valuation and cash generation of BKE still appealing but they have some short term headwinds here.

Solutions for Chapter 20
When a matter undergoes change of its state, either the energy is absorbed or released at constant temperature.
In winter, open barrel water is stored alongside the producers of the pioneers place. Open barrel water helps to maintain the temperature of the surrounding. If the temperature of the pioneer place drops then the heat is released by open barrel water in form of latent heat. As a result the temperature of the pioneers store in the underground store remains within the desire limit.

The 2013-2014 academic year marked the third time that Memorial University participated in the National Survey of Student Engagement. Unlike the previous two iterations, 2014 marked a new format of the NSSE with the addition of "modules" that an institution can select to garner information on specific topics.
Almost a quarter of the old NSSE from 2011 has been removed with an equal amount of new material added. Further details about the new NSSE instrument and the modules can be found at the following link: http://nsse.iub.edu/html/survey_instruments.cfm
If you have any questions about the NSSE, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is administered by the Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research on a yearly basis during the spring academic term. Typically, institutions participate about every three to four years to allow for proper data analysis and disemination. Memorial University participated for the first time in 2008.
The NSSE focuses on undergraduate student participation in programs and activities offered by the institution. The questions on the survey "represent empirically confirmed 'good practices' in undergraduate education."
The NSSE was created to accomplish two core objectives:
1. Refocus the national discourse about college quality on teaching and learning;
2. Provide colleges and universities with diagnostic, actionable information that can inform efforts to improve the quality of undergraduate education.
The population for the NSSE is all undergraduate first-year and senior level students. Definitions for what is meant by "First-year" and "Senior" students can be found here.
2008 NSSE: Results for the 2008 NSSE can be found by clicking here.
2011 NSSE: Results for the 2011 NSSE can be found by clicking here.

HAYES March, 1956 Authorized Reprint of a Copyrighted JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CONCRETE INSTITUTE 18263 W. McNichols Rd., Detroit 19, Michigan February, 1956; Proceedings Vol. 52, p. 633 Title No. 52-39 Porosity of Hardened Portland Cement Pastes By L. E. COPELANDt and J. C. HAYES* ■p SYNOPSIS Continued study of the properties of hardened poitland cement pastes has provided information which makes it possible to estimate porosity of pastes more precisely than is possible by using the original equations of Powers and Brownyard. The total pore volume of hardened pastes is 0.99 w € . Capillary pore volume is the difference between total pore volume and pore volume characteristic of the gel in hardened pastes. The pore volume of the gel is assumed to be the lowest pore volume that has been observed in hardened pastes. The paste with the lowest pore volume was made with w /c = 0.235 and cured for 11 years. The gel porosity calculated for this paste is 0.26. The average Dumber of layers of water molecules on the surface of this saturated gel is 2.38. INTRODUCTION Definitions of symbols a € € k Vt I'c = nonevaporable water per gram of cement in a completely hydrated paste = weight of cement = density of a saturated hardened paste = porosity of hardened paste = ratio of V m to u\ = capillary pore volume in hardened paste = gel pore volume in hardened paste = total pore volume in hardened paste = specific volume of pure water = specific volume of cement = specific volume of hydration products v t = apparent specific volume of the total water V = partial specific volume of water V m = weight of water required to form an adsorbed monolayer over the surface in a hardened paste = volume of paste = weight of evaporable water in the hardened paste Wn = weight of nonevaporable water in the hardened paste Wl = weight of total water in the hardened paste V General relationships The fact that a hardened portland cement paste that is saturated with water can lose all of its evaporable water with only a slight change in volume im- plies that the hardened paste is porous. A study of relationships between the properties and porosities of hardened pa- >s led Powers and Brownyard 1 to conclude that there are two classes of pores: (1) gel pores— small pores s between the gel particles, and (2) capillary pores— pores larger than gel pore: which exist between aggregates of gel particles. ♦Received by the Institute Jan. 27, 1955.

The four compounds and the relative vapor pressures over their saturated solutions are listed in Table 2. The two parameters, Y m and C, of the BET adsorption equation 6 were calculated from adsorption data. Y m is the amount of water necessary to form a complete monolayer over the surface, and C is related to the average heat of adsorption in the first laver. DISCUSSION Total pore volume in hardened pastes Powers and Brownyard determined the specific volume of the solid phases in hardened pastes by a helium-displacement method and obtained the volume of pores from the difference between over-all volume and volume of the solid hases. Then from the mass of water in saturated samples they concluded that water in gel pores had a smaller specific volume than water in capillary pores. The difference between the specific volume of gel and capillary water complicated the calculation of porosity of pastes. In an investigation reported in another paper we found, by a water-displacement method, that partial Bpecific volume of gel water is equal to that of capillary water in saturated astes.- This simplifies determination of the total pore volume in hardened pastes. The pores of a saturated paste are filled with a solution of soluble cement constituents, principally alkalies, in chemically tree water. We cannot de- termine directly the density of this solution, but we have determined that partial specific volume of chemically free water in pastes made from certain low-alkali cements is (MM). It is not likely that variations in cement com- position, including variations in alkali content, will affect this value appre- ciably. Consequently, we can use it to approximate closely the volume of the solution in the pores of hardened pastes by calculating the volume occupied by chemically free water in saturated paste. This approximation has been applied to solutions of KOH and XaOH in the range of concentrations to be expecti in hardened pastes. The difference between approximated volume and true volume of the solution is less than O.o percent. Even if the concentration of alkali in the evaporable water were twice the probable highest concentration. the error would be below 1 percent. We believe, therefore, that the error in pore volume associated with this approximation is less than 0.5 percent. The evaporable water content is assumed to be equal to the chemically free water content of hardened pastes. In other words, within 0.5 percent, the total pore volume, />,, of a hardened paste is equal to the weight of evaporable water in the saturated paste multi- plied by 0.99, i.e.. p t = 0.99 it-, = 0.99(u>« - Wn) (5) ^mce the water gained by the paste during the curing period is given by wt - »•" = 0.254 w" (Ref. 2) 638 JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CONCRETE INSTITUTE February 1956 Cement No. it 15754 0.310 15756 . 348 15758 0.310 15761 o 317 15703 374 TABLE 3— MEAN k VALUES FOR it follows that VARIOUS CEMENTS Vt = 0.99(w" - 74(1/ ) Gel pore volume Powers and Brownyard concluded that the framework of a hardened paste was a gel which possessed its own characteristic porosity. They had evidence that the gel pores could hold a quantity of water equal to 4V m , or the equivalent, 4/ ,,. The term n of Eq. (1) was thus assigned the value of 4 by Powers and Brownyard. When the procedure for determining w n was revised,'' it became necessary to investigate again the relationship between V m and «*". The later work hows that V m is proportional to w n in pastes made from cements with normal ( - nd C 3 S contents, but 1\ may not be exactly proportional to w, in paste n (< from cements with high (" S contents. Since the departure from pro- portionality is small, even if real, we shall ignore it, and use the values of ft reporl ed in Table 3 for different cements. These values are different from those reported by Powers and Brownyard because of the difference in the method of determining w n . The relationship between V m and w n will be discussed in moo detail in another paper. The proportionality of Y m to w n implies that the specific surface of the hy- Iration products is a constant and is independent of the extent of hydration of the cement in the paste. Apparently, gel particles do not grow larger as hydration proceeds; but new particles, similar in size to those firsl formed, are iroduced. It seem- reasonable to suppose that a mechanism thai produces gel particles of fairly uniform size should also produce a fairly uniform mode of packing these particle-: consequently, the gel would possess a characteristic porosity. Thi minimum value of the ratio w e /V m for hardened pastes is a measure of gel porosity lor pore* of saturated hardened paste are filled with evaporable water; and surface area, which is proportional to 1 ",. is due to colloidal hy- Iration products comprising the gel. The lowest value of "v/1 .., found for ] • investigated in this work is 2.38. We have not been aide to establish the minimum i due, although the proportionality between Y m and w, implie that a gel porosity corresponding to w e , V m ^ 1 musl exist.

Porosities calculated from Eq. (8) with w, l. =2.38 rang* from 0.2b to 0.28 for the cement- studied here. These porosities are close to that characteristic of a close-packed system of uniformly sized spheres, 0.26. Inequality of particle size in a close-packed system could lead to porosities 640 JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CONCRETE INSTITUTE February 1956 smaller than 0.2<, and consequently to ratios of wJX m smaller than 2.38. We believe, however, that particle size distribution in gels is narrow; thus, gel porosity should not fall much below 0.2G. Accordingly, the best estimation of p now possible is given by p" = 0.99 X 2MV m = 0.99 X 2.38*u>" = 2.36/. " ,.

WASHINGTON - The four TVs in the visitors clubhouse at Nationals Park were black minutes before Thursday's trade deadline, to muffle the last rumors. Marlon Byrd retreated to a small room to digest video. A.J. Burnett and Jonathan Papelbon commandeered a table in an adjacent cafeteria to watch MLB Network as blockbuster deals without Phillies manifested.
This marked one of the busiest deadlines in baseball history; 37 players moved in 12 trades. When 4 p.m. passed without a Phillies transaction, it was not an indictment of Ruben Amaro Jr's inability to trade. Instead, it served as yet another damning commentary on the flawed roster the general manager constructed.

Talk:C. West Churchman
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
|This article is substantially duplicated by a piece in an external publication. Please do not flag this article as a copyright violation of the following source:
The 1960s text[edit]
I removed the following 1960s text, because it is rather controversial and should at least have a reference or two to back this up.
- During the 1960s, Churchman subsequent involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous provided a great deal of theoretical material for his future writings, as well as a rich source of anecdotes.
-- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 19:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I removed a second statement:
- One of his graduate assistants, Alade Djehuti-Mes stated that "West"was particularly concerned about the failure of the world leaders to solve the high death rates of children in Africa from the various diseases, wars and malnutrition.
This person Alade Djehuti-Mes doesn't seemed to be notable. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 21:06, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I removed a thrid part:
- One of Churchman's major contributions is the Systems Approach in the book with same title. It is class of systemic design principles, Chuchman points out several historic Systems Approaches. He also supplies his Systems Approach:
- The systems approach begins when first you see the world through the eyes of another.
- The systems approach goes to discover that every world view is terribly restricted
- There are no experts in the systems approach
- The systems approach is not a bad idea (Churchmans bias)
- The systems approach is the origin of Idealized Design and Co-Design
This part is unreferences and completely taken out of it's context, so that it hasn't got any meaning anymore. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 21:52, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Worksection removed[edit]
Due to possible violation of copyright, see WP:Copyvio, I have removed the worksection of this article for now. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 08:39, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
P.S. I apologize for all inconvenience I have caused here, see also here. If you would like to assist in improving this article, please let me know. I can use all the help I can get. Thank you.

The Isle of Man TT is all about being close to the action and you can't get closer than the iconic TT Grandstands or in one of the TT Fanzones.
The Grandstand really is the heart of the TT races and gives spectators a great view of the course, the famous scoreboard operated by the Isle of Man's Scouts, the warm-up area and pit lane as well as being convenient for the Island's capital of Douglas.
Another big advantage of watching from the Grandstand is that you're right in the heart of the paddock area including all the team tents, the various food outlets, the merchandise stalls and the beer tent. There's parking on hand and there's always something going on to keep you entertained. What's not to like?
Launched in 2012 the Fanzones are located at Nobles Park, Ballacrye (pictured left) and the world-famous Creg-ny-Baa giving you the option to watch from a different spot each race day.
Fanzones take the concept of watching from the hedge to the next level - literally. Erected with the best possible views in mind, the stands lift you over the foliage without removing the sensation of speed that makes the TT such a vivid and enthralling prospect.
No longer do you have to arrive at the crack of dawn to secure a prized patch of roadside shrubbery - just arrive in good time, park in the spaces on hand (some sites may charge), show your ticket and take your seat.
As a bonus there are toilet facilities on hand so there's no more crossed legs or embarrassing moments behind a hedge...
Being up above the hedgerow make TT Fanzones a great place to take photographs of the stars in action, zipping between the kerbs at colossal speeds. Please bear your fellow specatators in mind if you are going to take pics from a Fanzone. No-one likes having a great telephoto lens blocking their view - or an enthusiastic photographer for that matter!
If you fancy getting even closer to a TT legend you should take advantage of one of the exclusive VIP Hospitality packages. Not only do you get access to the Hospitality Suite at the Grandstand but you'll be sharing the complimentary bar, breakfast and buffet with heroes from the TT, the world of Grand Prix racing, motorsports, film, TV and music.

Miranda's Artsy Purple Tiny House RV
Miranda Aisling Hynes overcame many challenges during her build, including a nasty spell of pneumonia cased by overexertion. Almost one year later, her hard work has finally paid off! Miranda now has a purple custom Tumbleweed Cypress lovingly named "Aubergine" (meaning: the color of eggplant).
As a passionate artist, Miranda chose to fill her tiny space with handmade items - including pottery, a painted rug, handmade sink and a gorgeous stained glass window!
"There is a portrait, by Andy Newman, of Aubergine hanging inside the Tiny House RV," Miranda explains. "I couldn't resist going meta!"
Miranda's budget was $25,000 in materials, which is average for a tiny of this size. She still needs to complete the plumbing and propane, so she may go slightly over budget. Read this article for an analysis of Tiny House RV material costs.
Interior of "Aubergine" with Miranda's folding dining table
Aubergine is part of Miranda's long-term goal to create a community art hotel. Within the next two years, she hopes to find land in the greater Boston area that can be used for a Tiny House Hotel, where everything from the food to the furniture will be handmade by local artists. Patrons who come and stay at the hotel can buy featured handmade items or take a art class to learn how to make those items for themselves.
Miranda had help building Aubergine from members of her local community, and the constant support of her mother.
"Whenever someone tells me I can only do as much as I do now because of how young I am, I say they should meet my mother!" - Miranda Aisling Hynes

Congratulations to Miranda! We will keep updating you on this story as her Tiny House Hotel project comes to fruition.

On his way up the middleweight mountain David Lemieux was thought to be a future 160-pound champion. Heading into 2011, Lemieux had won all 25 of his bouts with only iron-chinned Jason Naugler hearing the final bell.
However the Canadian punching machine hadn't really fought anyone of significance and so was matched with grizzled veteran Marco Antonio Rubio. For six rounds Lemieux teed off on the tough Mexican, but when the stoppage didn't come he quickly tired out before he was stunningly stopped in the seventh frame.
After several months on the sidelines the youngster returned, dropping a decision to former WBA 154-pound titlist Joachim Alcine. It looked a long way back at this point. However, the popular puncher deserves credit; he refocused and has won six consecutive bouts since.
On Saturday, Lemieux (31-2, 29 knockouts), who's still only 25, returns to action as chief support to stablemate Adonis Stevenson's RING/WBC light heavyweight title fight with Andrzej Fonfara. He takes on former title challenger Fernando Guerrero in what amounts to a crossroads bout for both fighters.
"He's a good fighter; strong and moves well, knows how to box. His weakness I'll show you all in the ring on May 24," said Lemieux.
The Showtime-televised event is has a full supporting cast set to include Lemieux-Guerrero, an interesting looking junior middleweight scuffle between Jermell Charlo and Charlie Ohta, along with rising welterweight prospect Mikael Zewski, and light heavyweights Eleider Alvarez and Artur Beterbiev, who look to continue their development.
Anson Wainwright – On Saturday, you fight Fernando Guerrero. What are your thoughts on that fight?
David Lemieux – Fernando Guerrero is a great fighter but I'm in the best shape of my life. I will destroy anyone that is in front of me.
AW – What do you think of Guerrero as a fighter? What do you see in terms of strengths and weaknesses?
DL – He's a good fighter; strong and moves well, knows how to box. His weakness I'll show you all in the ring on May 24.ÒÇÇ
AW – This fight looks to be a step up fight for you, the sort of fight neither of you can lose if you both have title aspirations?
DL – It's a great opportunity for me and I will not lose my chance. I will beat Guerrero.
AW – You've already come a long way winning six fights since losing back to back fights to Rubio and Alcine. How would you assess that?
DL – I've changed my entire life to make these major changes in order for me to be victorious in all of my future fights.
AW – Following those loses it looked a long way back for you. How have you been able to turn things around?
DL – With very important adjustments in my life, including, most importantly, the people around me, no more negative people are in my positive vision. This is why I'm surrounded by the best, Camille Estephan (his manager), being the Ace of Spades in my deck of cards.
AW – Did you ever contemplating retiring from boxing at that point?
DL – Never! I knew there were changes to be made and I did that. I never give up.
AW – You last fought six months ago, becoming the first man to stop tough Colombian Jose Miguel Torres. Looking back at that fight what are your thoughts?
DL – Torres is a great fighter. I have lots of respect for him. I haven't seen many fighters who'd get up as many times as Torres did after all that punishment. I am proud of my hard work for it is the result in my success.
AW – Your power is clearly something that plays a big part in your game, what would you say about that?
DL – It is the Joker in my deck of cards for it can play tricks on you if you're not fully cautious, or it can play tricks on me also.
AW – If we look at the current top 10 middleweights as rated by THE RING magazine, could you share your thoughts on each fighter…
C – Sergio Martinez
1 – Gennady Golovkin
2 – Felix Sturm
3 – Daniel Geale
4 – Peter Quillin
5 – Matthew Macklin
6 – Martin Murray
7 – Marco Antonio Rubio
8 – Curtis Stevens
9 – Hassan N'dam N'Jikam
10 – Billy Joe Saunders
DL – I'm not one to talk about each fighter. All of those fighters are great and all of those fighters I can beat.
AW – How do you see Sergio Martinez-Miguel Cotto going?
DL – In the Martinez-Cotto fight I see Martinez winning without a doubt.
AW – Previously you'd have had your eye on fighting Martinez and Gennady Golovkin on HBO, however, the dynamics of that have changed with Adonis Stevenson fighting over at Showtime. Is it now Peter Quillin you're shooting for?
DL – I have no one in particular at gun point but I'm ready to fight anyone with the right deals involved. Fighting for HBO or Showtime for me is an honor and I will always do my best to be spectacular.
AW – In closing do you have anything you'd like to say to Guerrero and also the middleweight division?
DL – No, I'll show him what I have to do on May 24. I'm not much of a talker. To the middleweights, good luck.

Kiss is Spittin Lyrics[Jadakiss]
Uhh.. uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh (uh) uh (uh) uh-uh-uh
Uh (uh) uh (uh) uh-uh-uh
Uh (uh) uh (uh) uh-uh-uh
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Hey yo I got land cars and jewelry, and artillery
And I got every hood feelin me
It's nuttin like when a thug get at you and spit thug literature
Your fanbase wanna get rid of you
Still in the hood doin it
I don't know why I'm doin this, we don't eve move a lot of units
But ain't no threats, don't stress me dog
You gotta let me hear somethin to impress me dog
When I spit I put rappers in line, then smack 'em around
I got 'em all home practicin now
You know 'Kiss be, icey hard and crispy
The truck's manual but the Coupe is 6-B
Listen I ain't never spit nonsense
I'm from the street with a mean vocabulary contents
Whoever you send I'll send back
Y'all all been wack; 'Kiss is makin a strong impact
[Hook: Nate Dogg]
(When 'Kiss, is spittin) They don't love you no more
(When 'Kiss, is spittin) Things will never be the same a-gain
(When 'Kiss, is spittin) Why they hatin on you
[Jada] It's just like that, ha! (When 'Kiss, is spittin)
Uh, uh, yo, yo
Sinnin or not, I'm grinnin a lot, spendin a knot
Dirty denim and a cinnamon fox
Bitches'll follow, gangsters'll ride, gentlemen watch
Buy the bar, leave drunk, shoot up the block
You might hear 'Kiss spittin, but after the show
You might hear clips spittin, we after your glow
Things'll never be the same again
When your frame get bent, link get worn, change get spent
Confiscate your whip – you think you a player?
I could confiscate your bitch, take her and slay her
If a nigga nicer than me, then Christ is here
You got somethin in the bank? Then the dice is here
I could show you how to gamble your money, handle a gun
But be a family man and go home to your son
Light a candle where you stand, cause that's where you died
And if you heard 'Kiss spittin, then you know it was won, uh
Yo, yo
Hey yo the voice got a lot of people heated, peep it
The flow is like methadone – lot of people need it
Seen it all happen before
Feel like I'm still hustlin; cause the way I'm rappin is raw
You could put your jewels on it
You might just see me in the lightning pickup with the 22′s on it
The stakes'll cost you; understand one thing
I do great field work plus I'mma boss too
Y'all know who the streets is run by, could only be one guy
And that be who but 'Kiss, no security
The burner and some niggas that I grew up with
And the brand new 911, fuck a dime
With a fine eleven at stop signs I'm revvin
And the flow is just so obnoxious
As far as the Double R camp go, dawg I got this, c'mon now
[Hook] w/o Jada {*repeat 2X*}

Educators in California are determining how more than 30 new online textbooks will fit into existing high-school curricula -- many of which have not used online texts. However, some are concerned that the digital textbooks might not be in compliance with state law, which requires that students have a textbook to use in class and at home. "If we have to also provide the book, so the student can take it home to comply with the law, it doesn't make sense, nor will that save the district money," one official said.

text: I don't really do reviews because my nose, for whatever reason, is essentially useless. I read all of the descriptions of aromas in reviews, and I wish I could experience these things. I pick up on the occasional aroma, but they are few and fleeting. I'm sure this detracts from my enjoyment of beer, among other things, yet I enjoy it still. I guess I don't pick up on certain intricacies and nuances, but I still really love a great brew...just in a different way. Anybody else have this issue at all?
