They say that when you retire you need to find activities to keep your mind busy. One suggestion was to learn a new language, so I took up Spanish. Every day I try to discover a new phrase to use. Did you know that "La luz de la luna hace brillar tu cabello como un pollo en el mercado" means "The moonlight makes your hair shine like a chicken in the marketplace?" That'll come in handy some day.
Another idea to keep your mind active is to take up a new hobby. I tried birdwatching, but the parakeet just kinda stood there staring back at me. Ballroom dancing was a bust because evidently one should not incorporate Bollywood moves in a Viennese Waltz. And my attempt at being Assistant Apprentice to the Master Gardener found me languishing removing weeds from sidewalk cracks and schlepping mulch because apparently my Master Gardener wife lost confidence in my ability to distinguish between a flower and a weed. Geesh.
So there I was, a Spanish-speaking, ex-birdwatching, former Bollywood-dancing, erstwhile Assistant Apprentice to the Master Gardener retiree. Ay carumba!
I was beginning to think that perhaps my mind-stimulating activities would simply become a string of failed hobbies. Frustrated, I muttered to myself, "Creo que deje mis zapatos en su bano" (Translated: "I think I left my shoes in your bathroom.") as I sat down in my Amish-glider chair to stimulate my mind with some TV.
The program that popped up was called "Downton Abbey." "Aha!" I thought, "Here's my new hobby … Perhaps I could study the lives of fictional aristocrats and their domestics in the post-Edwardian era!"
So I mingled with British social hierarchy for an hour as I watched Cora override Isobel's meal schedule, Violet quiz Mary about Lavinia, and Sybil having a deep conversation with Branson. To top it off, O'Brien alerts Mrs. Hughes that Mrs. Patmore and Daisy went to the village and, oh, by the way, Ethel is pregnant. "Blimey," I sighed as it ended, "this is like Survivor with servants."
Before I could recover my wits, the next PBS presentation started. It was a concert by comedian Steve Martin playing the five-string banjo. I thought to myself, "La lata de los frijoles es fresco, pero no puedo abrirla." (Translation: "The can of beans is fresh, but I cannot open it.")
As I sat and listened to him play, I was astounded! Man, could Steve Martin play the banjo! Later I found out that he had actually won a Grammy in 2009 for "Best Bluegrass Album." As I watched his fingers fly across the instrument, I suddenly discovered my new hobby: I would become a banjo player!
My first challenge was to get a banjo. Being left-handed, I figured it would be hard to find a banjo of the alternative persuasion. But with a quick click to Amazon.com, I found all kinds of them.
My next challenge was to present my new hobby idea to my wife. It went easier than I thought …
"Honey, can I get a banjo?"
"Sure, Mike. And while you're at it, why don't you get a pipe organ, too."
"Okay, thanks honey!"
A few days later my banjo was delivered. Sure, my wife was surprised. But when I reassured her that I didn't order a pipe organ, too, she was greatly relieved.
So now I finally have my new hobby. I'm picking and grinning my way through the Golden Years. It's like I always say, "El jugador del banjo hace mucho ruido, pero su corazon esta en un lugar feliz." (Translation: "The banjo player makes a lot of noise, but his heart is in a happy place.")
• Michael Penkava is a retired teacher who taught for 35 years at West Elementary School in Crystal Lake. Within 24 hours of getting his new instrument his wife made a cloth sound muffler for his banjo and told him he sounds a lot better when he plays in the basement. He can be reached at email@example.com.

5 Celebrities Who Could Have Used Some Bra Advice From The 'Double Divas' On Lifetime
Have you ever had, or witnessed, a bra-tastrophe – when something goes totally wrong with a bra? It's just another thing that women have to manage while getting dressed every day. Celebrities try to avoid wardrobe malfunctions, but they happen all too often, and unfortunately the public can't keep their eyes off the trainwrecks.
Hayden Panettiere attended the Golden Globes HBO after party in 2011 wearing a blue dress that showed off just a little more than she intended - her pasties. Oops! Although she tried to avoid showing off her nipple, it seems like she needed a little professional help to make her red carpet entrance more professional.
On Thursday, Jan. 10, Lifetime will will premiere its new original series, "Double Divas," which follows LiviRae owners and best friends Molly Hopkins, the "boob whisperer," and Cynthia Richards, the "Thomas Edison" of custom lingerie, as they display their natural talent helping women with any and all intimate apparel needs.
Check out some other stars in addition to Hayden who may have benefitted from the "Double Divas" expertise... (See some tips on their official website!)

Finding uninsured Americans by the numbersBy RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
the associated press | February 06,2014ap photo
Katina Rapier of Chicago is shown here at Harold Washington College in Chicago, during a signup event for the new federal health care law that was sponsored by Enroll America.WASHINGTON Wanted: Millions of uninsured Americans willing to give President Barack Obamas health care law a chance.
With time running out, it may not be so hard for the administration and its allies to find them. A study for The Associated Press finds that the uninsured arent scattered evenly across the country: half of them live in just 116 of the nations 3,143 counties.
That means outreach targeted to select areas can pay off big, reaching millions of prospective customers needed to stabilize the laws new insurance markets.
The pattern also holds true for the younger uninsured, the health care overhauls most coveted demographic. The study found that half of uninsured people ages 19-39 live in 108 counties. Their premiums are needed to offset the cost of care for older adults.
With most of the bugs out of the HealthCare.gov website, the Obama administration is using the geography of the uninsured to write a playbook for its closing sign-up campaign.
Enrollment ends March 31 for subsidized private insurance, available to people who dont have coverage at work. But many who could benefit are procrastinating. Some people are confused by the new law. Others dont think they will qualify for help.
Our efforts are aimed at making sure we can raise awareness in areas with the largest concentration of uninsured people, said Julie Bataille, communications director for the rollout at the federal Health and Human Services Department.
The administration has done its own geographical research, drilling down even below the county level. Officials said the pattern coincides with the findings of APs study, which was conducted by the State Health Access Data Assistance Center at the University of Minnesota.
With their own research, federal officials are focusing on 25 key metro areas. The top two are in Texas: Dallas and Houston. Next come Miami and Atlanta. In the Northeast, the northern New Jersey megalopolis and Philadelphia are on the list. Midwest markets include Detroit, Cleveland and Indianapolis. Southern cities also include Nashville, Tenn., and Charlotte, N.C.
The numbers help determine where to send HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to pitch the law. Theyre guiding the placement of television ads aimed at younger people, scheduled to start airing as the Winter Olympics open this week.
Washington is largely steering clear of states that are leading their own sign-up efforts, such as California, New York and Illinois.
The research for the AP by the Minnesota health data center found that just 13 counties account for 20 percent of the uninsured. The top county, Los Angeles, has more than 2 million uninsured people, or about 5 percent of the national total.
Uninsured Americans generally live in major metro areas, but data-driven research can also help in rural states with seemingly low numbers of uninsured people, said Brett Fried, a senior researcher at the center. Census files that provide coverage information at the ZIP code level can be used to tease out concentrations of uninsured. Bataille said the government also has an outreach effort tailored to rural areas.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

NO hangtime no crossover no fadeway no fakeshots no inteligence simply no ART just run and gun
Smaller player like N8 can easly superpass Lebron Nate can jump higher than Lebron
if some1 dont understand it simply just watch his game 6 vs Jazz in 1998 especially what he did to Russel or game 1 vs Blazers 1992
Thats why even MJ is taking Kobe over Lebron Kobe do same things as MJ
You know when Magic played the Lakers had a moniker style of play...it was called...."SHOWTIME"
What's the Heat style of play?
Once again Magic never choked away a series in the fashion Lebron has vs Celtics right before he left to South Beach and then got throughly outplayed by Dirk in the Finals. Winning 2 chips does not catapult you to G.O.A.T. status.
I also wonder what Magic would do playing next to Wade and Bosh because Lebron didn't accomplish much until he left Cleveland. He couldn't even beat the Dwight Howard led Magic. I wonder how many other good/great players would have accomplished had they had a chance to gimmick up the playing field, by super power colluding?
Last edited by Broadway; Jul 22, 2013 at 21:40.
Oh and Magic has 5 titles
beat Doc twice(Prime)
beat Bird twice(Prime)
beat Isiah once(Prime)
And when looking those players he beat 3 of them make most fans Top 20 All Time G.O.A.T. list. He went to 3 more Finals totaling 8 and lost to Isiah/Bird/Jordan still G.O.A.T.S.
Now tell me who has Lebron beat in the Finals Duncan(Past Prime) and Durant.....1 more than likely Top 10 G.O.A.T. the other underdetermined.
Last edited by Broadway; Jul 23, 2013 at 12:13.
I hate LeBron but he is better then magic. His vision is on par. He's a way better defender, he's stronger faster his offense is way better.... Yeah magic had 42 at c but he gave up close to the same amount in that game. Bron over magic is a no question
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
LeBron is never coming here. Ever.
Next thread...
Also this is not close to prime Wade that he's playing with. Wade and Bosh were looking more like liabilities than assets at times this year and he carried them to the title.
Magic didn't have to collude because his team was stacked and better than any team Lebron has ever played with.
Lebron is bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic, better shooter, way better defender, better rebounder, better shot blocker, better scorer, and almost as good as a passer and we still haven't seen the best of him.
Was Kevin Johnson better than Steve Nash?
Is Chris Paul better than Isiah Thomas?
Is Russell WestBrook better than Gary Payton?
Is Derrick Rose better than Jason Kidd?
Was Shawn Kemp better than Kevin Mchale?
Is Vince Carter better than Paul Pierce?
Is Tony Parker better than John Stockton?
Will Blake Griffin be better than Karl Malone?
Is Chris Webber better than Dirk?
Is Garnett better than Tim Duncan?
You see what I did there right? Which shows you I'm not stuck in any particular era
The very last part of your sentence is subjective...until we see the best of Lebron he's not better than Magic overall. Not many in the NBA family would rank Lebron ahead of Magic as an All-Time great. Now if Lebron goes on to be what many think he will sure give him that crown but as of now he's still not there.

CP3 was playing with Tyson during Hornets time n they were shut down by Spurs easly.
he is called as king of traveling and most know as fouls complaining mentioned by Rodman so some1 who wana compare him or talk about as the best of the best is very wrong
i saw some comment that Lebron is not better player than MELO Lebron was just playing in better teams and have/had allways 2nd allstar scorer in Cleveland and now Miami.
Cavs was in finals in 2007 Knicks since 99 just 2 playoffs apperances 2 sweeps
LeBron already played 10 NBA seasons compared to Magic's 13, and LeBron is only 28 years old.
LeBron has 4 MVPs in 10 seasons
Johnson has 3 MVPs in 13 seasons
LeBron has 5 all defensive first teams.
Magic Johnson has 0.
LeBron already scored 21,081 points in his NBA career.
Magic scored 17,707...so how hasn't LeBron passed him?
LeBron's career isn't even over, and he has about 5-6 more prime years left.
Most likely, LeBron will pass Magic in the all time assist list and LeBron doesn't even dominate the ball like Magic did.
Magic is an all time great, but LeBron is just better.
the struggle? LeBron took the Cavs to the Finals and before LeBron they were one of the worst teams in NBA history.
What struggle is there in Los Angeles playing next to James Worthy, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kurt Rambis, A.C. Green, Michael Cooper and Bryon Scott? The best player LeBron played with pre-Miami was probably Varejao.
and Magic Johnson is 6"8 and 210lbs.
He would never play center in today's NBA, not even on a Mike D'Antoni team.
LeBron physically would be the biggest guy in the 80s standing at 6"8 and 260 lbs. Even when Patrick Ewing was drafted he was only 240 lbs.
Don't bring up Magic playing center like it matter, the Showtime Lakers were loaded with enough big men and bangers like Rambis, AC Green and Worthy grabbing rebounds left and right. LeBron would body Johnson.
LeBron's rebounders consist of Chris Anderson, Chris Bosh and Joel Anthony, with Udonis Haslem...please. Miami's supporting cast isn't even physically intimidating.
They dwell off of LeBron's talents and get open for 3 with guys like Allen, Battier and Miller landing big shots come playoff time.
It wasn't well researched I mean what did he actually do in his post? He posted overall pt differential compared to seasons played, MVP's, AD Teams.
Let's keep it real MVP honors do not mean the same these days as they did back in the day. Hence you have fans still griping over Steve Nash's and Derrick Rose's Top Honors.
Really how hard was that to accomplish.....keep glossing over I've posted more body of work facts
- Magic went to 8 Finals with many different squads...
- Magic has more Finals MVPs than LeTraveler...
- Magic has more Chips(5) than Letraveler
- Magic has more career assist(10k almost double) then Letraveler
- Magic has an NCAA Championship Letravel doesn't
- Magic Defeated multiple All-Time Greats during their Prime in Finals, Letraveler hasn't
- Magic has a better overall FG% than Letraveler
- Magic's career was cut short because of the HIV disease, otherwise his accumulative numbers would be better
- Magic Won a Chip as a Rookie and was MVP of that Finals, Letraveler hasn't and never will
- Magic revolutionized the way the point guard position was played decades to follow, patterned much by Letraveler
- Magic never lost a Gold Medal opportunity in the Olympics, unlike Letraveler
- Magic played in a hand checking era LeTraveler hasn't
- Magic never choked away a playoff series, 1 with Elbow Gate and and another being afraid to shoot wanting a teammate to save him in (Wade)
But if you want to idiotically henpeck stats I can do the same and say Karl Malone is better than Duncan based on total pts scored and Tim is light yrs behind Malone in scoring. They both won MVP 2 times in their career. But wait I bet you'll say Tim is better because he has rings and Malone doesn't and Tim has played in more Finals?
Well that would destroy the Magic vs LeTravel agenda oriented posting from you

Because of that, he broke all of the rules. In fact, we do just about everything differently and it starts with the people we hire to work in our restaurants.

This race was close from the start. On election night, it looked as though the Republican challenger Hughes had won. But it all came down to California. Wilson won the state by just 0.3 percent, and won a second term as president.
4. James Polk vs. Henry Clay (1844)
Clay, a Whig candidate, ended up losing New York by just 5,000 votes, mostly because of a third party candidate opposed to the annexation of Texas due to the expansion of slavery that would follow. If Clay had remained opposed to the annexation, he might have won the state, which would have handed him the election as well.
3. Rutherford Hayes vs. Samuel Tilden (1876)
Similar to the 2000 election, the winner of the popular vote did not win this election. In fact, the contest was ultimately decided in Hayes' favor by a panel of administrators, much like how the Supreme Court decided the election of 2000. The panel's 8-7 decision was split down party lines, with the Republican Hayes declared the winner.
2. Grover Cleveland vs. James Blaine (1884)
This election was not assured until the final week. It was then that a Blaine supporter made a controversial statement that derided Roman Catholics, angering many New York voters. In the end, Cleveland ended up winning the state (and the election) by just 575 votes.
1. George W. Bush vs. Al Gore (2000)
Just as in 1876, the winner of the 2000 popular vote ended up losing the election, and again under controversial circumstances. Only about 500 votes separated Bush and Gore in must-win Florida, and after more than a month of lawsuits, bickering and recounts, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to stop the recounts in Florida and give Bush the win.

ISU survey shows 24 pct jump in farmland value
The Iowa State University's annual Land Value Survey says the value of Iowa farmland rose 24 percent over the past year to set a record of nearly $8,300 an acre.
The survey in November included 486 responses from Iowa land brokers.
It was the third straight year that farmland value had risen more than 15 percent.
But Iowa State Extension's Mike Duffy, who oversees the survey, says the boom likely will fade over the next five years. Duffy says that within two years, farmers in other countries will respond to high prices and plant bigger crops. Duffy says that higher production will lower corn and soybean prices worldwide and tamp down land values.

Jim was speaking of this incident on the radio yesterday (on a programme recalling notable events of the past year) and said that he had, immediately after the programme, hand-written a letter to Jereny Hunt to apologise and explain and taken it, himself , to the Minsitry. He handed the letter to the receptionist, explaining that it should be immediately given to Jeremy Hunt. The receptionist turned to Jim and asked, "Who's he?"

Thanks for the welcome Mz J
Luke, I opened this page with my wife looking over my shoulder - she said somtin' like "hm... tell Jackie I send my love too!"
Farbeit for me to return to the topic an' all, but. Here's my take on RP for whatever it's not worth.
An Open University text I have references John Walkers Critical Pronouncing Dictionary and Expositor of the English Language of 1791 and AJ Ellis On early English Pronunciation, 1869-1889 as early uses of this description but even more pointed is JC Wells citation of Daniel Jones* as the "great describer and codifier of the Received Pronunciation of English" in the 1890s.
Whatever its precise origins the term received seems to have (heh) been generally received to mean the form of speech generally accepted by Society. Note my use of the capital S: in my lex this term has always been freighted with social connotations that many parallel linguistic terms in other countries are not burdened with, such as for example General American or Standard Dutch or whatever. Wikis pretty good article (imho) quotes the phonetician Jack Windsor Lewis frequently who criticises the name "RP" as "invidious", a "ridiculously archaic, parochial and question-begging term" and opints out that American scholars find the term "quite curious". Beverley Collins and Inger Mees use the phrase "Non-Regional Pronunciation" for what is often otherwise called RP, and reserve the phrase "Received Pronunciation" for the "upper-class speech of the twentieth century".
What is objectively clear, whatever view is taken of the socio-cultural baggage train, is that RP is very narrowly used Trudghill is widely quoted in his estimate that no more than 3% of the UK population use this form of lexical production, complete with stretched vowels, intrusive rs and all the other phonological features also mentioned in wiki. He has an article that some of you may find interesting here.
Theres a good little discussion about the BBCs relationship to RP, with some interesting quotes from BBC Pronunciation Unit personnel and so on here.
* Wells JC, 1982 Accents of English - An Introduction Cambridge University Press
PS I totally concur with the 'plums in the mouth' description as indicating an early 20th centrury upper class English accent.

Thanks for the links, mav - some very interesting stuff there. My own observations concur with those of Trudghill, that RP is evolving, rather than disappearing. One still hears it from relatively youthful people on the radio and TV, particularly on Radios 3 and 4 in Britain. However, an individual's lack of RP is no longer a great barrier to being taken seriously, so long as the accent isn't "broad."_________________________

> evolving
Yep, I completely agree with you Rhuby. I think just like other full-blown language communities, this has tended to devolve and evolve into variants and subsets, most of which are still markers of intellectual prestige but not necessarily plum-in-the-mouth social superiority.
And you are surely right that its lack can sometimes prove no hindrance Melvin Bargs adenoidal Cumbrian tones have interestingly enough proved resistant to the steamroller of both an Oxford education and sustained work at the Beeb.

Yes, Melvin does have a touch of Cumberland to hs speech - until you talk to a Cumberland Sheep Farmer from the high fells, when you realise just how much he has modified his accent! (I live fairly near to the Lake District, so hear the speech of the people of Westmorland, Cumberland and Lancashire-over-the Sands fairly often!)
But this is completely usual. I am aware that my own speech has transmogrified quite a bit from a 20 year sojourn in darkest Northamtonshire and over 25 years in Lancashire has left its mark, too - I find myself saying 'baeth' instead of 'ba:th', and also shortening "the" to "t'" at times.
A Scottish lecturer colleague of mine, who has lived in Lancaster for around 40 yeqas, has gradually modified his accent over the 27 years I've known him, too._________________________

Fireplace Accessories
What a Homeowner Should Know about Fireplace Accessories
Fireplace accessories add a touch of class to the fireplace area and the entire living room. These accessories include fireplace screens, hearth stands and log holders and are usually made using steel, iron or bronze.
Fireplace Accessories, like all other items in the living room, should match well with the overall style of home decor. These are available in styles ranging from transitional to retro, making it easy for a homeowner to pick the item that best suits his or her tastes.
Practicalities should also be considered when choosing accessories. It is wise to measure the fireplace area to make sure the screen is the right size. You should also consider the general size of logs stored near the fireplace to ensure the holder can accommodate the wood.
Fireplace accessories beautify the living room and are also extremely practical. Simply pick the accessories that are right for you to ensure that they are not only easy to use but also look good in the room.

The headline is attention-getting__"US Competitiveness Hinges on the Strength of Small Business Suppliers"__but the first paragraph speaks volumes more. In the May 6 edition of the Washington Post, Karen Mills, the administrator of the US Small Business Administration, writes, "Talk to the CEO of any major corporation about their global competitiveness and the conversation will almost always turn to their supply chains. They will tell you that a strong, nimble supply chain helps fuel innovation, creates efficiencies, and strengthens operations."
Mills cites Caterpillar, GE, and Ford as companies that are moving some of their manufacturing back to the United States. The reasons are the same as those named by GE CEO Jeff Immelt in a 2012 Harvard Business Review article: "Engineering and manufacturing are hands-on and iterative, and our most innovative appliance design work is done in the United States. At a time when speed to market is everything, separating design and development from manufacturing didn't make sense."
In her article, Mills talks about how investment in US small business is a result of high worker productivity, rising labor and energy costs, and logistical advantages of closer supplier networks. While this investment may bring some jobs back to the United States, it also helps firms better support global manufacturing. In fact, she writes, some foreign companies, such as Lenovo, Ikea, Nissan, Airbus, and Siemens, are investing in US operations and US suppliers.
"Today, US-based, forward-thinking companies are looking at their supply chains very differently," Mills writes. "They are working together to co-innovate, they are helping supply the capital and skills their small suppliers need, and they are operating as partners."
This trend, Mills proposes, actually helps US companies better contribute to the global marketplace. She, again, echoes sentiments originally expressed by Immelt. "This doesn't mean that we are simply reversing what we have done and retreating from performing R&D and manufacturing outside the US," Immelt wrote. "The fact is that we are__forevermore__going to play in a global economy, where competition is tougher, customers are more demanding, and the pace of change is faster. To win, we must play and we must improve everywhere we do business." Small, yet mighty
In her article, Mills highlights the benefits small suppliers bring to the overall manufacturing landscape, key among them agility. From a supply chain professional employee perspective, we know most large corporation leaders consider these staff a competitive advantage. Now, as supply chain complexities increase along with the opportunities, small- and medium-sized business leaders also must consider investing in their supply chain teams.
By contrast, the latest APICS Operations Management Employment Outlook shows that for the first time since the survey's inception, respondents expect hiring to go down.
Experts and political leaders alike recognize that supply chains fuel innovation, create efficiencies, and strengthen operations. In these uncertain economic times, those benefits aren't optional. Now is the time to invest in your company's supply chain by hiring APICS Certified Supply Chain Professionals (CSCPs) or supporting existing employees as they earn their APICS CSCP designations.

Once, when I was a kid, I was bored for an entire afternoon. I didn't care for it and decided right then and there that it would never happen again. I absolutely haven't changed since then; I'm just as intellectually sophisticated, just as financially stable, and just as opposed to boredom. To that end, I try to make up weird mind games that you can play alone or with friends to pass the time, keep life more interesting, and avoid that vicious mistress boredom at every turn. A lot of my games involve my dog, but I want this article to work for everyone, and not all of us have dogs. (In case anyone's curious, though, those games are "Let's Pretend We've Switched Bodies" and "Who's the Best Little Guy?". Spoiler alert: He is.)
So, here are some things you can do to fight boredom, as well as a brief glimpse into what it's like inside my head, all the time.
4Find the Spy
Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images
Short and Sweet:
Determine who, in the general area, is a spy or an assassin.
This is a true thing that happened to me last week. I was walking down an alley behind two people I had never met, a man and a woman, both dressed in long, tan jackets. Without thinking about it, I ended up following them a little bit closer than I'd intended. I also ended up laughing a few times and mumbling, because I was thinking, and I talk to myself when I think, and that's perfectly normal, and I'm not the one on trial here. Obviously, I'd ended up on their radar, because the man turned around sharply.
"What," he demanded. He saw me watching them. He'd heard the laughing and the mumbling. He was angry and he looked at me very much in the way a man looks at another man when he suspects that man was looking and talking at his girlfriend's butt.

"Oh my god, you're right! What is the deal airline food?".
"What's so funny," he asked, looking for a fight. I had no problem with this man, and I have the soft hands of an Internet comedy writer, so I wanted to avoid a fight, if possible. I apologized and, when that wasn't enough, asked him if he really wanted to know what I was thinking. He said yes, so I told him the truth.
"Well I'm heading to my office, and I noticed that you two were both dressed in sunglasses and identical long, tan jackets, and underneath those jackets you were very well dressed. And you both walked slowly, deliberately, like ... cooly, the way cool- the way cool people walk? You walked like that, and I don't know if this was intentional or if you even noticed, but you walked in sync with each other. Like your left foot moved at the same time as her left foot, and your right feet, too, the whole ... All of them. Both of them. Your feet moved the ... same."
He stared at me, very much in the way that one man looks at another man when he says something like that thing I just said.
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"So my thought," I continued, "my actual, honest-to-God thought, was 'Oh, these two are definitely assassins.' Like you were a sexy, married assassin team. I'm sorry I called you sexy. But like in my head you had guns under your coats, and you were walking in that synchronized, almost-slow-motion way that two deadly assassins would move. Like in Die Hard With a Vengeance, those two mercenaries almost never say even anything, they just wear sunglasses and nod at each other, as if to say 'Oh, we're very cool mercenaries, you and I.' And you- And so I decided you were assassins, based on all the clues. And I also decided that I was part of a special team designed to thwart you and I was ... It was my job to do recon. On you. I'm the recon guy. I also do computers, I think, but I didn't really get too far into the scenario because we ... Because you started talking to me. It was impolite and I'm sorry. It's a thing I do."
There was a very long pause.
Dynamic Graphics/Creatas/Getty Images
"Should you be wearing a some sort of helmet?"
"Are you guys assassins?"
The guy was still mad, but not mad enough to fight me. The woman laughed and they went on their way dodging just my question, for now, and several bullets later, I imagined, in some big, dramatic shootout.
I play this game every single time I'm in public around strangers. I'd never been caught before, but I've always done it. If I'm on a bus, or in a store or walking down the street, I instinctively survey the crowd and determine which one of the people is a spy, or assassin, which one of the other people is their target, and what's my role in the whole affair. (Recon, usually.) It stems from having the overactive imagination of a child coupled with a lifetime of watching action and spy movies. The "mumbling" that I was doing when the two beautiful assassins caught me likely involved whispering details to my partner via the nonexistent transmitter that I pretended was tucked beneath my collar.
It sounds stupid, because it is, but it also passes the time.
3Karaoke Russian Roulette
John Rowley/Photodisc/Getty Images
Short and Sweet:
Trick your friends into singing shitty karaoke songs while avoiding such a fate yourself.
Every once in a while, my friends and I will go to a karaoke bar, because that's one of the things twenty-somethings can do at night with alcohol. Because we're all the same kind of stupid, we decided to spice things up. Karaoke is always embarrassing; we wanted to also make it dangerous and, yes, even more embarrassing.
Let's say there are five people in your group. If you have a mixed group, pick five gender neutral names, like Chris or Charlie or Jessie or Soren. Each person takes one of those names, writes that name on a piece of paper and picks the absolute worst karaoke song they can think of. Don't share it with anyone, just pick a song that would be a TERRIBLE karaoke choice. Maybe it's too damn long, or maybe it's an aggressive gangster rap, or maybe it's depressing as hell or, hopefully some day, all three. The point is you've picked a song that no self-respecting person would want to sing.
Burke/Triolo Productions/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
"Enjoy yourself while you can. You've got 'Rhinestone Cowboy' next."
Next, everyone turns in their slips of paper to the DJ, and here's where it gets interesting. Remember your five gender neutral names? So far, every one of those names is assigned a terrible song, but none of your friends have been assigned names. So, write the fake names down on separate scraps of paper, throw them in a hat, and then pick one. If you picked Jessie, you get up there when they announce Jessie and you sing whatever song was assigned to the "Jessie" character, without knowing what it is in advance.
Allen Simon/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Googling the lyrics won't save you.
That's why you're always taking a risk. You can write down the worst song in the world for "Chris," but if you're the one who picks Chris out of the hat, you're only screwing yourself. I've sang "Foolish Games," "Ain't Nothing But a G Thang," "Monster Mash" (in July), and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" without a duet partner, but I've also forced my friends to sing some truly awful songs too.
The worst part of any karaoke bar are the people who take it too seriously. There will be other people at the bar who have their "standards," the songs that they know they can just nail, the songs they sing every single time they go out. I guarantee you, when you and your friends fumble through obscure, tasteless or otherwise just silly-ass songs, doing your very best to own them, you'll be having more fun than anyone else in the place.

Since it won the grand prize in May at the Cannes (France) Film Festival from a jury headed by Steven Spielberg, the French drama Blue Is the Warmest Color has been drawn rave reviews and controversy in fairly equal measure.
The latter has arisen from the graphic depictions of lesbian sex — in particular an exhaustively intense seven-minute scene that some critics and feminists think blurs the line between art and pornography.
But the images of bared skin, grasping hands and ecstatic faces aren't as noteworthy as the sense of ordinariness that predominates. This is a heartfelt coming-of-age portrait with a refreshingly matter-of-fact view of same-sex attraction and an unhurried, quietly observational approach much rarer in modern cinema than boundary-pushing sexual encounters.
A bright student at a provincial French high school, Adele (Adele Exarchopoulos) has a strong appetite for food, literature and languages. She is also developing a hunger for physical contact, which she explores with an interested boy at school.
But a glance shared on the street with a blue-haired art student named Emma (Lea Seydoux) stays in Adele's mind and colors her dreams. An ensuing encounter between them gives birth to a long, passionate relationship. Adele becomes Emma's muse, but the role is uncomfortable for her, especially when Adele is thrust into Emma's highly cultured and opinionated social circle.
Director and co-writer Abdellatif Kechiche uses a hand-held camera and tight framing to follow Adele's growth from an awkward teen who is confused by her feelings for the same sex to a young woman who is self-aware, if not yet self-possessed.
Upon viewing the film, one understands why the Cannes prize was awarded jointly to Kechiche and the two co-stars. Exarchopoulos and Seydoux lend exceptional commitment and bravery to their roles. In particular, Exarchopoulos creates a fully fleshed character of endearing tics, believable imperfections and sympathetic insecurities.
The original French title of the film is The Life of Adele: Chapters 1 and 2, which hints that viewers might see more of Adele's relatively unremarkable yet completely absorbing life in the future. One can only hope.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD (May 3, 2011) – Accompanied by the steady drum of the Thunderin' Hawks Pep Band, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore cheerleading squad waved their pom-poms for the "nation's best collegiate bowling team" – the Lady Hawks.
"It's so very exciting, I don't even know how to put it into words," said Paula Vilas, one of seven team members who made history this season by winning two national championships, the NCAA and the USBC Collegiate title, for UMES.
Vilas pumped up more than 100 students, staff and faculty at the Championship Rally on Tuesday with her entrance into the William P. Hytche Athletic Center. Raising her arms in the air, the 22-year-old UMES junior did a cartwheel in between a long line of cheerleaders.
"It feels really great getting so much support," said Vilas, a native of Argentina.
The event featured the presentation of several proclamations from local and state government officials. President Thelma B. Thompson was on hand to personally congratulate team members and head coach Sharon Brummell, who was lauded for her emphasize on "athleticism and academics."
Athletics Director Keith Davidson shared with the audience the significance of the occasion. No school in college bowling history has ever won two national titles in the same year. UMES is also the first Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to own two DI NCAA titles.
The rally concluded with the unveiling of the three championship banners from this season: the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) title, the NCAA championship and the USBC Collegiate title.
On the count of three, the Lady Hawks Bowling Team tugged at ropes to reveal the banners, which simultaneously released a cloud of glitter onto the gymnasium floor. Afterward, team members (pictured above from left) Paula Vilas, Anggie Ramirez, Martha Perez, Megan Buja, T'nia Falbo, Kristina Frahm, Maria Rodriquez signed autographs.

Police: Burglary victim catches suspectMay 04,2013BENNINGTON Alert neighbors helped police solve what they called a string of burglaries and also captured the woman expected to be charged for the crimes, according to Lt. Lloyd Dean of the Bennington Police Department.
Nikki Lixx, 42, of Bennington, is expected to be charged with at least three felony counts of burglary Monday in Bennington criminal court. Dean said police also cited Lixx for possession of stolen property.
Dean said Sgt. Camillo Grande of the Bennington Police Department had been on foot patrol in the area of Robinson Avenue on Friday morning because of a string of burglaries committed at homes, some of them empty, but others while the residents were inside.
Around 1 a.m. Friday, a Robinson Avenue homeowner, who police did not identify, found a woman, who police later identified as Lixx, in his home.
Lixx fled but the homeowner called 911 and chased her. The homeowner tackled Lixx with the help of other neighbors and held her until Grande and Officers Benjamin Lackey and Thalia Hudson arrived.
Dean said Lixx admitted to three burglaries.
She was on furlough at the time of the arrest after pleading guilty in October to felony counts of identity theft and forgery and a misdemeanor charge of using false tokens. Officers with the Vermont Department of Corrections revoked her furlough after the arrest Friday and she was taken to the Rutland jail.
Dean said the Bennington Police are following up on leads to connect her to other burglaries in the area. On Friday morning, police executed a search warrant at Lixxs home and found many items which had been reported stolen. Officers will be making contact with possible victims in the near future, police said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

On the Arbitration front…
The Phillies and their favorite pinch hitter, Greg Dobbs, have just avoided arbitration, as Dobbs signs a two-year, $2.5 Million dollar contract. Meanwhile, reliever Ryan Madson has at the same time just rejected a three-year, $12 Million dollar contract.
Congrats on getting Dobbs to sign on the dotted line, guys. One down, seven to go. As for Madson, I knew that he would be a bit harder to sign, as his agent is Scott Boras. Hey, Madson, think what is best for you and the team, and not what's best for that jerk, Boras.
2 Comments
I think after this off-season there might be a number of players who will be rethinking their association with Scott Boras. (Hello Mr. Varitek!!)
Oh, I would not be surprised, especially if the economy stay crappy. With Madson, he has him convinced that he can be a closer. Uhm, Madson, you can't handle the ninth inning, bro. As the Rock would say, "Know your role…" and yours is as the Bridge to Lidge. Accept the money, dude!!!

Like the winter weather in Ohio the long-running Michigan hard rock crew is constantly changing. The group has shifted band members, record labels and even musical approaches in its decade-plus of existence. So while earlier albums included occasional acoustic interludes, the band's latest, Onyx, remains strictly a plugged-in effort. Unfortunately the added electricity can't give life to these turgid modern rock tunes, many of which tend to lumber along as gracelessly as Frankenstein's monster.
"I'm alive on the inside," growls singer Leigh Kakaty on "Trenches" in a vaguely rap-rock cadence, but unfortunately these signs of life aren't nearly as evident on the surface. Young Guns, Girl on Fire and Era 9 also perform.

More Wind Than RainOctober 29th, 2012 at 9:35 am by Ashley Baylor under Tropical Tracker, Weather
After a long week of watching and waiting, Hurricane Sandy's effects are now being felt across the mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states! Today and tomorrow will be the worst days – very strong winds along bouts of heavy rain!
Here in western Massachusetts, we are not going to feel the full effect of Hurricane Sandy. The storm will be much worse in other parts of the Northeast: cities along the coast will have to deal with 5-10′ storm surge, while parts of West Virginia will be contending with blizzard conditions!! It's not often you see hurricane and blizzard warnings in close proximity.
Since we don't have to think about storm surge or snow, here's what we can expect over the next 48 hours:
Strong winds. The strongest winds will be felt from this afternoon through Tuesday afternoon. A high wind warning will be in effect for all of western Massachusetts through Tuesday morning as we are anticipating sustained winds between 20-30 MPH with gusts up to 60 MPH! The higher gusts will likely be in the Hilltowns/Berkshires, but we will all be susceptible to high winds. With tropical storm-force wind gusts, lies the possibility for downed trees and power lines which could lead to power outages.
Rain. We will be tracking bands of moderate to heavy rain across southern New England. Expect periods of rain from this afternoon through Tuesday. With 2-4″ of rain in the forecast, flooding is possible. Make sure you clear storm drains of leaves and debris! If you leave near any rivers or places that are prone to flooding, keep a close eye on the water levels! We are not anticipating as much rain as we saw with Tropical Storm Irene!
Sandy is expected to make landfall near Atlantic City, New Jersey sometime late today or early Tuesday morning. Once she makes landfall, she will continue to track inland towards Pennsylvania. By Wednesday, the storm will make a sharp turn towards western New York. By Friday and Saturday, the remnants of Sandy will still be loitering in northern New England. Since this storm will get caught up in the Northeast, we can expect showers from Wednesday through Friday.
By this weekend, El Sol will be back to dry up the mess.
-Meteorologist Ashley Baylor

Social Networking Is for Social Businesses
The pizza joint got great reviews on Yelp. The doughtnut shop was brought into being by Kickstarter. The beer store runs deals on Scoutmob. My daughter found the hair studio on Facebook(FB) . Business is great and people are wonderful.
But for General Motors (GM) , most social networking is a waste of time. Sure, it will get publicity for launching its new Silverado on Facebook Thursday, as the AutoBlog reports. But beyond public relations, GM needs to compare the cost-per-thousand of advertising anywhere and go with what's cheap.
Thus we have Dana's rule of social networking: The value of social networking is inversely proportional to the size of your business.
Social networks are the greatest thing since sliced cheese for a small business. Here's a chance, for just the cost of your time, to prospect among your neighbors, to find the enthusiasts among them for what you offer, and to get them on your e-mail list so regulars get your best deal. It's cheaper than a Web site. Any business that's so lazy as to miss this opportunity deserves to go out of business.
Now is the time to act, while Facebook (FB) and Google (GOOG) Plus are still at each others' throats, while Microsoft (MSFT) Socl still thinks it's in the game.
Get your logo out there, join communities that serve your customers, and spend an hour each evening communicating with your neighbors. Build goodwill with prospects then get them on your e-mail list when they come in and buy. Use that list to give your best customers your best deals, then just wash, rinse, repeat. If you're providing value for money, you'll do great.
For a company that can't know its customers by name, for a company selling perfume or cereal or hammers or electronics, you already have scaled systems for customer relationship management. You already have e-mail. Make sure you show a human face to everyone who contacts you, as I wrote at SmartPlanet in 2010. That should be the extent of your social strategy, being sociable.
If you align with one network, buying into Facebook's marketing developers program, described by Rachel King for ZDNet, you're making a big mistake.
Social media marketing is just not worthwhile for a scaled business. Todd Wasserman at Mashable is right : the hype over social marketing was "itself a form of marketing for self-conferred experts looking to make a buck." IBM (IBM) IBM (IBM) has a study out on this which found all the social networks combined contributed just 0.34% to Black Friday sales, and Twitter contributed absolutely nothing.
Social networking reminds me of open source, a beat I joined in 2005 when its hype was reaching a peak. What we found was that the benefits of open source were real but they mainly went to consumers of open source products, in proportion to how much they committed to helping the code base. There were no open source billionaires, which doesn't mean open source was worthless. It's just that the value went somewhere other than into a CEO's pockets.

Dulcina A. Perry
MONTPELIER Dulcina Ada Perry, 100, formerly of Mechanic Street, Lane Shop Apartments, Montpelier, and Fortiers Community Care Home in Barre, died Tuesday, April 15, 2014, at Berlin Health and Rehabilitation Center.

Dulcina was always ready to care for family members that needed her, including attending the birth of many of her nieces and nephews.
She enjoyed going to the family camp at Caspian Lake in Greensboro, traveling to the Maine seacoast and to Florida, doing many crafts and playing Scrabble.
She is survived only by her nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her siblings, Beatrix Kendall, Marjorie Crandall, Grace Hodgdon, Elizabeth Sherman, Lois Hodgdon, Morris Perry, Cortland Perry and Harold Perry.
In accordance with Dulcinas wishes, her body will be donated to UVM College of Medicine.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 27, 2014, at the First Baptist Church, School and St. Paul streets, Montpelier.
Burial will be at a later time in Green Mount Cemetery.

VIDEO: Highlights of Jeff Lurie's Press ConferenceFourteen years after he hired a relatively unknown quarterbacks coach from Green Bay, Eagles Owner Jeff Lurie said goodbye Andy Reid, firing his team's head coach after a 4-12 campaign in 2012.
AUDIO: Jeff Lurie announces firing of Andy Reid.
"We've decided to make a change, as you all know. We're saying goodbye to the winningest coach in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles."
One year ago Lurie announced at his annual post-season press conference that he was disappointed in last year's 8-8 mark, but saying he wanted to give Reid a second chance.
Reid had suffered through three non-winning seasons in his first twelve seasons as coach, and each time he followed with at least a playoff appearance. But despite emptying his checkbook with big-ticket free agents like Nnamdi Asomugha and Jason Babin, Lurie watched his team plummet from 3-1 to a team which lost 11 of its last 12 games.
Lurie's trust in Reid is why he waited so long.
"I promised to myself that I would wait until all the games were played, every factor was taken into consideration, and literally I informed Andy this morning at 9am in the morning."
Reid leaves the franchise as its all-time leader in wins with a 130-93-1 record, 6 NFL East Titles, 5 appearances in the NFC Championship, and a Super Bowl defeat to New England in 2004.
Howie Roseman will remain as the team's General Manager, with Lurie giving Roseman credit for a 2012 draft which has already netted starters Fletcher Cox, Mychal Kendricks, and Nick Foles.
As for a replacement for Reid, Lurie says the Eagles will not be in a hurry, and he has already spent "about a month" researching possible replacements he intended to begin contacting following the press conference.
"There's some outstanding college coaches out there, there's outstanding coordinators out there, there's outstanding coaches who used to coach in the National Football League out there, no stone unturned and open to it all."

After a lot of struglles and serious thinkgin (and crying), I have decided to stop my efforts to relactate. Ds just doesn't allow me time to pump and I miss so much time with him because I'm attached to my pump. He cries 8-10 hours a day for no reason and I won't let him cry while I pump.
Thanks for all the advice ladies. I will always regret my choice when he was born but there's nothing I can do to change it. Time to get over it, I guess.

I won't have alot of time with the upcoming school year, but I am willing to dedicate some of my free time to admin, even if it is just to update the news or recap games. I do watch at least 72-73 games of the regular season, and try to watch every game so recaps wouldn't be a problem. Also, i think that as this place grows as a community, the community members should have an input into the site design. Even if you were to not agree with the community, i think you should at least take their say into your final decision on things such as logos, through votes in the forums.
