Flatter a Fuller Figure
Shopping for clothes that fit and flatter can be a challenge for anyone and full-figured clothing is no exception. While stores are carrying more lines for fuller figures than ever before and more full-figure designers are turning out fabulous new styles, it's still important for you to choose your clothing carefully in order to maximize your curvaceous assets and minimize any areas you aren't comfortable with. So here are some tips for finding the most flattering clothing for your figure.
Know Your Shape. All full figures are not created equal. Are you shaped like an hourglass, an apple (bigger on top with thinner legs and arms), a pear (larger around the hips and behind and smaller on top), or are you solid on top and bottom with nary a curve? Knowing your shape will help you choose pieces that flatter you.
Avoid Shapeless, Oversized Clothing. Throwing on an oversized shirt and baggy pants will only make you look shapeless and bigger than you really are. Choose fitted - not tight - and flattering lines that accentuate your womanly curves while minimizing any problem areas.
Color is Everything. Yes, black is the classic slimming color, but it's not the only one, so you don't have to spend your summer in somber (and sweltering!) head-to-toe black! Navy blue, chocolate brown, wine hues and deep greens are all slimming and can add some color to your wardrobe. The key is to keep your outfit monochromatic. Staying with one color on top and bottom creates a seamless line instead of cutting you in the middle. But don't go monochromatic with white - use it only as layering to make your outfit pop. If you do wear different colors in the same outfit, always, always wear dark on bottom, light on top. This will draw the eye toward your beautiful face!
Lines for Every Shape. How and where your clothing hits your body can make a big difference. For instance, cropped jackets will make your hips look wide, so instead, choose a jacket that ends at your hips to lengthen your torso and minimize your hips. If your bust is large, stay away from jackets and tops with breast pockets and opt for a long v-neck with a tapered waist. If you are bigger in the hips and behind, stay away from pleated pants and side pockets that can gape outward and instead choose flat-front and side-zip pants.
Wear Patterns Carefully. Patterns can be a help or a hindrance, either camouflaging problem areas or bringing attention to them, so wear them with care. Choose a pattern that is in proportion to your size; if you are tall, you can get away with larger prints, but if you're short, stick with smaller designs. The best way to use patterns is as an accent paired with a solid. Head-to-toe patterns will make you look larger.
Jeans. Tapered pants and jeans don't look good on anybody (even the skinny minnies!) so don't even go there. Stick with long, straight-leg, boot-cut or slightly flared jeans and pants to elongate and slim your legs. And opt for dark washed jeans which will hide any bulges better and make you look thinner.
Swimwear. Stay away from boy shorts, which only accentuate your thighs. High cut legs will make your legs look longer, but choose a suit with a full-coverage bottom as a skimpy bottom will make you look fleshier. Choose a suit with an interesting design to camouflage and draw the eye up.

Myopathy, Myofibrillar
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Myopathy, Myofibrillar is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Myofibrillar myopathies are a group of rare genetic neuromuscular disorders that may be diagnosed in childhood but most often appear after 40 years of age. These conditions are highly variable but are characterized by a slowly progressive muscle weakness that can involve skeletal and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle weakness can be present in the muscles close to the center of the body (proximal) as well as the distal muscles. A weakening of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy) is common and may manifest as arrhythmia, conduction defects or congestive heart failure.

Job Advice? Net versus Reality. Who ya got?
July 22, 2010
All too often in these days of utter economic gloom, the college degree
meaningless and the corner "spare some change man?" guy's job looking
better and better…we get a lot of quick, cheesy short lists from so called
career experts. Sites like Yahoo finance, AP news, Forbes, etc. Here are
some titles you have probably enjoyed: Top Ten Careers Not Downsizing.
Cities Weathering the Recession. $100k Jobs without a College Degree. All
promise employment bliss, if you can just quit your current 20-something
life, move and erase everything you ever did and start again. Not exactly
a Quarter Life option.
Not gonna happen, not likely and not reality.
Then again…
So, I thought to put together a cliche top ten list of careers that are
totally, utterly going to need big time numbers, pay well and not laying
off for the next 50 years.
Tattoo Removal Surgery Tech – Lots of people are going to need, "I love La
Cretia" removed when they marry "Michelle" and Michelle will need her
tramp stamp removed so she can get the wedding dress she always
wanted. And hubby will need to get that promotion, so the little "I
pretended I was a gangsta" tattoo he got at Boulder Community College
will need to come off. And the Black and Decker sand-belter is just not
going to be covered by Obama health care.
Techie – Some of these magical nerds are your company computer guys with
Cheetos stained fingers and lord over you as if his World of Warcraft
fantasy extended over the whole office floor. Others are big time main
framers who decide the fates of billions of dollars and many smaller
developing nations. Ergo, you will always have a job, because idiots like
me only understand control-alt-delete.
Manga Cartoonist – Hey it's not just a Japanese marketing gizmo. This
pseudo porn artwork and the male fetish for school girl panty heroines
makes this a solid bet if you have a penchant for the Quarter Life
Holodeck Programmer – They do not exist yet. But when they do…wham! You
thought porn, the X-Files and South Park drove the internet in the 90's!
The 2000's were about Facebook and YouTube? The 21st tweens are all
holograms baby! Of course you will be one of the many causes for the fall
of humanity, but so has any person who ever blogged.
Artificial Food Additive Taster – Despite the organic, green, eco-fad,
people found out that the real taste of strawberry is not the wow factor
one gets from an ultra X-treme Flava Crystal Jolly Rancher with edible
habanera, cilantro mango chutney wrapper. Dow Industries is back in the
driver's seat again, coming up with simple cancer causing formulas to help
deal with the reality that nature is just not that good tasting. Your QL
demographic taste buds are just what's needed in this once again thriving
Sanitation Engineer – Not sure if I like the PC term for that. ¼ Lifers are
trash makers. Sure they recycle, but someone still has to pick and sort
that crap. The stuff keeps coming, is piling up and you can be there to
get it done. Did you know that a waste disposal expert…garbage man, in NYC
gets paid $70k per year? Think about that the next time you throw the
Dasani bottle in the recycle bin.
Marketing Chicks – Not just the realm of girls with speech communications
degrees anymore. But, with the influx of males with useless degrees there
was a glut in the market of warm bodies taking up cubicle room playing
solitaire, texting and IMing each other the latest OMG gossip or Fantasy
Football stats. Since companies cut way back on these drones in
2007-9, they now need them back. And it turns out that the ladies are
much better at these Power Point presenting, PR decision, meeting making,
lunch attending jobs than males. So dust off those Anne Taylor pant suits
ladies…ya'll are back!
Soldiers – You've seen the world today. Ya think this time honored
profession is going away anytime soon? After the oldest profession in the
world, prostitution, this one is next and probably provides a sizable
portion of the income/market share of the former. And yes, for the ¼
dudes out there. You should have already signed up for Selective
Service…it's the law. But, the draft scare for a quarter lifer draft ends
at 28. Ladies…knock yourselves out. Be All You Can Be, Army of One, The
Few, The Proud, AccelerateYour Life…visit new places, meet new people and
then kill them. Plus the medical and dental…three square a day is a lot
better than lots of places.
Internet List Maker – Duh.
Guest Star Appearance on the Simpsons – Of course for this one, you have
to become a flash in the pan star or have so much camp value like Betty
White. So this is sort of a long term project, but I think it is good to
have big goals. And we know the Simpsons are not going away, no matter how
long it stays in the rut of stale, boring and not funny.
There ya have it. Money, career satisfaction and job security can be all
yours. No go get out of your pajamas and make it happen!

I've got 2 pumps, one manual Pigeon and one (new) Medela mini electric. I actually sterilize my Pigeon parts everytime I get home. I know it's not necessary but I'm not brave enough to not do it .
However at work we don't even have hot water (I guess you don't really need it when it's 35.5°C out there), so everytime I need to clean it I heat some water in the microwave, or bring a thermo with really hot water from home. I was planning on leaving the Medela pump at the office, I'd better brave up.
Is it really necessary to do hot water???? Can I just clean it with cold soapy water?
For how long did you sterilize stuff??

So you told a joke, but instead of the expected gales of laughter, you're greeted by naught but silence, or perhaps a long, mournful record scratch. In the back of the room, someone coughs. A baby begins crying. Somewhere in the world, a dove falls from the sky, dead.
What happened? You were sure that joke was going to kill. How did it go wrong? Is it someone else's fault? That'd be super. It's not, but boy, wouldn't it be great if it was?
It's still not.
As someone who's heard more than his fair share of chirping crickets, I do have a bit of wisdom to share on the subject of failed jokes. Below I've enumerated four of the most common manners in which the comedy bed can be shat, as well as some helpful(ish) tips on how said bed may be discreetly unshat.
4They'd Heard It Before
There have been a few theories on what makes things funny, and if you want to read about them, go right ahead. (I'll warn you in advance, though -- this isn't very funny stuff, and is in fact some of the driest, chalkiest shit ever written.) Problematically, most of these theories are badly incomplete. It's usually quite easy to think of hilarious jokes that the theory doesn't capture, or to construct jokes within the theory that are actually pretty terrible.
Comstock / Jupiterimages / Photos.com / PhotoObjects.net / Getty Images
"OK, everyone, take your places. I've done the math, and this one should be 5.8 +/- 0.4 Couliers worth of funny."
The theories aren't completely worthless, however, and one condition that shows up in many of them is that for a joke to work, it needs to be surprising. The audience can't see the joke coming. If that seems obvious to you, consider that it applies to more than just jokes repeated verbatim; it applies to formats and structures as well. Which is why, if you've watched sitcoms your whole life, you can turn to ... well, nearly everything on CBS, and see all the jokes lumbering slowly toward you like sad, hilariously doomed dinosaurs. The jokes are still original, and funny in their own way, but because they follow the same structure and rhythm sitcoms have used for the last 50 years, they're a lot less enjoyable to watch. A human being can tolerate only so many misunderstandings based on the different definitions of the word "poke" before they snap.
How to Do Better
The lesson is for you to try to tell jokes that people haven't heard before.
Comstock / Jupiterimages / Photos.com / PhotoObjects.net / Getty Images
"OK, in this joke, Priest, you and the Farmer's Daughter are going to quietly study the Bible, respecting her father's reasonable demands for putting you up for the night. Banana Peel, I'm going to need you to watch from the shadows and beat off. Aaaaand ... ACTION."
Telling completely original jokes is actually a pretty lofty bar to reach all the time, but you can do yourself a favor by at least filtering out the first joke that pops into your head about a subject. Twitter is awful for this, especially during widely watched events like the Super Bowl or the Academy Awards, when something prompts millions of people to trip over themselves, all making the same joke at the same time. (I've been guilty of this myself a couple times, actually.) When we finally close the book on human civilization and tally up our accomplishments, it seems unlikely that one of our proudest moments is going to be our attempts to one-up each other by being the first to post obvious jokes in a venue that we all read in reverse chronological order anyway.
3They Didn't Have Enough Information to Get It
So let's say you've told a joke that is pretty original, but it still didn't get much of a response. Did it require specific knowledge to understand? Like an inside joke, something only people who work in your office would get?
Michael Blann/Lifesize/Getty Images
"Remember? Bob and the fax machine? Right!? Classic Bob. What's that? No, it never healed properly. He still walks funny to this day."
And yes, you get that, too; inside jokes aren't funny to people who aren't inside. But remember that there are subtle degrees of insiderness that we tend to overlook. Consider humor based on a reference to some piece of pop culture trivia. This is a huge crutch in the comedy industry, one I'm all too guilty of using myself.
To illustrate this, let's look at Rocky IV, and even though we're only halfway through it, I'm pretty sure this is one of the most exciting sentences I've ever written. If you haven't seen it, Rocky IV is, on the surface, a movie about boxing. Beneath that mundane surface covering, however, is a film jam packed with completely preposterous things, to the point that many people forget that the film has a talking robot in it, because that's among the least preposterous of those things.
Consequently, Rocky IV is a very funny thing to talk about, and I think I've mentioned it in my writing about 12 billion times now. Basically any time I'm discussing topics like montages, training to win, arrogance, friendship, montages, fighting to win, the Soviet Union, montages, or winning to fight, I will probably mention Rocky IV.
Now, that's fine and that's good, and I wouldn't feel bad about dropping references to Rocky IV the rest of my life but for one problem: This movie came out 28 years ago, and a huge percentage (possibly even the majority) of my audience has never seen it. For example, the montage references I dropped above will be mostly indecipherable to you if you haven't seen the film and don't know that one-third of it is literally montages.
Rocky, seen here training to montage.
How to Do Better
Have an audience in mind when you think of a joke, and be at least somewhat mindful of the fact that they might not have the exact same interests and knowledge and experience you do. If you need to make a reference to something external, explain it if possible, or cut out the reference entirely. Understand that a joke only Battlestar Galactica fans can understand is probably less valuable than a joke about someone getting violently injured in the groin, which everyone can enjoy. Your goal as a funny person is to injure more people in the groin.

This didn't work for me at all. I found the instructions a bit vague, wasn't sure whether to add the water to the chocolate or melt it as a Bain Marie (which is normally what is done). It turned out very flat and very dense and dry. The icing was oily and far too rich. I've baked a lot and this has to be the least successful thing I've made.
Amazing. Dense and fudgey is just what I expected from the name. I checked it at 45 mins and knife came out clean. I cut out smaller circles of cake and layered it with the frosting between and all over and set it in the fridge overnight then frosted it again. Served w yoghurt and coffee. Mmmmmm Happy Birthday Husband.
Made this yesterday and it was almost a failed cake. Too dense and crumbly and the fudge topping was oily. Left it in a covered container overnight and gave it a 2nd taste test, I must say it tasted really much better and the fudge dried out so it looked pretty much like the picture in the website. Very intense chocolatey cake. I will try this recipe again but leaving out the cocoa powder to see if it will create a less dense cake. =) Glad that my first chocolate cake wasn't a failure after all!
Concerned at first after reading the reviews, but this turned out amazingly! As another reviewer said: just like the picture! I checked with the skewer at 45mins and it came out clean, so I didnt leave it in for another 5-10mins. The icing was spreadable after leaving it to cool. Will be making this again, the children love the colourful topping!
I made this for a collegues birthday and he loved it! Despite the runny mess that the icing turned out to be. I left it in the fridge overnight and it only set slightly on the top (even after i had already melted extra chocolate in). I think the chocolate to butter and condensed milk ratio may be an issue - or the type/brand of condensed milk ?
As for the cake itself: On my first go it came out a bit dry because I had left it in the oven a little longer than suggested as it seemed a bit soft in the centre. The second one came out just right, but it is a very dense cake!
When I first made it, turned out really tasty, but way too sweet. So next time I reduced sugar quantity, and even substituted a part with xilit - the result was perfect! Had also problems with the icing - probablu because condensed milk was sweetened. So I made my own version with water, whey powder, butter, little brown sugar and xilit, chocolate and cocoa powder. With the changes the cake deserves 5 stars.
Pleased with the way the cake turned out, I only cooked it for 40 minutes and it was ready and perfect texture, I think the 50-55 minutes suggested may make it quite dry. I do think the recipe ingredients and method need wording better, I was not sure if the 100ml of water was to be added as it was not listed as an ingredient, or if it referred to boiling over 100ml of water. I added the water as an ingredient.
My first time using this recipe. I did find the amount and type of ingredients a bit daunting at first but was surprised at how easy it was to make.
I definitely need to make a few tweaks, for some reason my cake split at the top and I didn't chill the icing so it was too runny.
Other than that the cake has turned out delicious and is fast disappearing will definitely be making it again
Questions (1)
Is the water an ingredient or part of the "bowl over hot water"? I was reading comments and wondered if the crumbly texture some experienced was due to adding or not adding water as an ingredient. Not really used to put water in cakes.
I have made this before though, but it was over a year ago and i can't remember what I did with the water. It did turn out great, everyone who tried it loved it.
Tips (2)
I have made this cake twice & it has a lovely chocolate flavour, but I have had problems with the icing being too runny, this time I used evaporated milk with added sugar as there was no condensed milk in the shop and I boiled it for 20 mins which has made it just right. I tested it every 5 mins with a drop in a cup of cold water. Condensed milk might be quicker.
I also used low fat creme fraiche instead of sour cream as that is what I have in.

Shumlin: GMO labeling good, bill bad
Gov. Peter Shumlin said Monday that a bill on labeling genetically modified foods could do its cause more harm than good.
The governor addressed a crowd of more than 100 in the South Station restaurant during the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce's legislative breakfast.
Shumlin heard from Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President Thomas Donahue against the bill on the grounds it would harm a number of local businesses, like Westminster Cracker, which uses genetically modified Canola Oil. Then a member of the audience countered that many people locally want to know what they are buying, as evidenced by the success of the farmers market.
Shumlin said he supports labeling, but that the bill resembled one dealing with a milk-production hormone that was passed during his time in the Legislature and signed by then-Gov. Howard Dean.
"The food industry took us to the Second Circuit," Shumlin said. "It was not only called unconstitutional for some very good reasons, but we had to pay the legal fees."
Shumlin said the "anti-labeling" forces would like him to sign the bill because they know they can defeat it in court and likely set back the labeling movement nationally.
Shumlin also told the crowd about his push for greater STEM education and his efforts to fund transportation improvements in the state.
The Governor described how, when he took office, employers would tell him they were looking at layoffs.

Chiropractors as Family Doctors? No Way!
A recent three-part article published in ACA News advocates turning chiropractors into "conservative primary care providers" who would be the initial point of contact for patients, would serve as gatekeepers for referrals to medical doctors and specialists, and would co-manage patients with those specialists on a continuing basis: essentially, family doctors. I think that's a terrible idea. It might benefit chiropractors by increasing their market share, but it wouldn't benefit patients. There is no evidence to indicate that chiropractors are capable of filling that role effectively or safely.
NUHS. The article was co-authored by several chiropractors on the faculty of the National University of Health Sciences, a school noted for integrating quackery with medicine. The "sciences" this school teaches are listed at the top of its website: chiropractic medicine, naturopathic medicine, oriental medicine, acupuncture, biomedical science, and massage therapy. The only one of those that even sounds like science, "biomedical science," offers a bachelor of science degree with an integrative medicine focus and with no required core courses whatsoever!
Their doctor of chiropractic degree program says:
National University prepares students to become first-contact, primary care physicians fully qualified to diagnose, treat and manage a wide range of conditions.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Secretary of State Doug La Follette is praising Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in his Democratic primary victory.
La Follette said in a statement Tuesday that Barrett's victory "is only the first step of returning our state to the progressive traditions we hold dear."
Barrett will face Republican Gov. Scott Walker in a June 5 recall election.
Barrett defeated La Follette, former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk and state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout.
La Follette says he knows Barrett is committed to bringing Wisconsin together.
Based on preliminary results, Barrett won with 55 percent of the vote. La Follette came in fourth with 3 percent.
Gladys Huber, a Republican running as a Democrat, was last with less than 1 percent of the vote.

Storyfest's popularity earned George West the title of Storytelling Capital of Texas by the state Senate in 2005.
The tradition will continue on Nov. 2 as 18 previously featured storytellers will return to George West with stories to entertain, inspire and keep the art alive.
Stories range from tall tales to history, folktales to cowboy poetry, and some compete in the Texas State Liars' Contest.
"It's bringing back the quality performers who have helped Storyfest earn the reputation for a quality festival, because that's the truth," executive director Mary Margaret Campbell said when asked what's made Storyfest's first 25 years a success.
This year's storytellers
Unlike previous years, this year's storytellers have all been featured in previous Storyfests. Gayle Ross and Elizabeth Ellis participated in the first Storyfest, and John Campbell participated in all 25 of them.
"We're having a whole festival of featured tellers," Campbell said. "Usually, we have three featured tellers and seven or eight tellers, but the majority of these 18 people who are storytellers were featured tellers before."
Other participants this year include Mark Babino, MaryAnn Blue, Decee Cornish, Eldrena Douma, James Ford, Donna Ingham, Andy Offutt Irwin, Mary Grace Ketner, Bil Lepp, Tom McDermott, Biscuits O'Bryan, Sheila Starks Phillips, Consuelo Samarippa, Larry Thompson and Tim Tingle.
Storyfest typically includes some returning storytellers and some new faces as well. But three years ago, a new event, Dobie Dichos, was added in celebration of local author, folklorist and educator, J. Frank Dobie.
This event brings Texas authors to the historic Oakville jail the night before Storyfest to read some of Dobie's works around campfires, with chili con carne, pan de campo and cerveza fria.
George West Storyfest Living History Chair Melissa Nance said he was instrumental in preserving the folklore of Texas and the Southwest in the early 20th century.
"He is probably the most famous person to come from Live Oak County and has inspired many writers," Campbell said. "Last year, it was listed in the New York Times as one of the most interesting things to do in Texas that particular weekend."
This year's authors at Dobie Dichos will be Rick Casey, Joe Nick Patoski, Jan Jarboe Russell, Lonn Taylor, DeCee Cornish, Sheila Phillips, Gayle Ross and Tim Tingle.
Storytellers aren't the only ones to return this year; this includes musicians, living history groups and some of the festival's other attractions as well.
Back in 1989, Rob Schneider, former president of the George West Chamber of Commerce, was trying to figure out a way to put George West on the map and stimulate the local economy.
"Even in 1989, he could see what was happening with computers and cyberspace and that kind of thing, and he was afraid the tradition of storytelling was being lost with the new generation," Campbell said.
According to Campbell, Schneider recalled listening to stories told at the local coffee shop with his grandfather and wanted to incorporate preserving that tradition into George West's new festival.
The George West Chamber of Commerce formed a committee and decided all the food vendors and gaming would be reserved for local and area nonprofit groups. Campbell said many have participated every year, such as the First United Methodist Church youth group and Lions Club. She also said the Brush Country Cattlewomen are always the first ones to return their application to participate.
The crowd of more than 8,000 people Storyfest now draws in collectively raises about $25,000 by the participating nonprofit groups at their same location on the courthouse square.
Storyfest also brings its storytellers to the local schools to tell stories and share the art of storytelling the day before the festival at no charge to the schools.
Storyfest became independent of the chamber of commerce in 1995 in order to receive 501(c)3 nonprofit status. The two still work together and many of the volunteers come from the George West Chamber of Commerce.
"If it weren't for the community this event wouldn't happen," Campbell said.
She said she's the only paid part-time employee; the rest of the efforts are done by volunteers.
"We have people connected from the beginning and added new people over the years, but people in this community are passionate about Storyfest. I think that's the key," Campbell said.

My mom put Tessa up there and then she said Tessa laid down, pulled up her shirt and "nursed" her baby doll (we usually nurse lying down in bed) I can't believe I missed that!

Bates Gets The Ball . . . Eventually
Somehow, the oldest trick in the book always seems to work.
(photos courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
On July 11th, Aaron Bates recorded his first major league hit – a pinch-hit single in the 8th inning off of Kansas City's Ramon Colon in the Red Sox 15-9 win over the Royals.
His Boston teammates made sure they saved the ball, and the memento was waiting for Bates after the game in his locker at Fenway Park.
Unfortunately, Bates soon realized that the guys didn't do a very good job of inscribing the details. The date was wrong . . . the opponent was wrong . . . shoot, they even misspelled his first name, writing "Aron Bates" on the ball.
And he bought it hook, line, and sinker.
The next day, J.D. Drew asked Bates if he had received the ball from his first big league hit, and Aaron said yes without mentioning any of the errors. Drew – and others – got a big laugh when they handed over the real thing with all of the proper details.
Aaron said the key to the trick was the fact that the fake ball included the major league stamp for authenticity. He had already added an "A" to his first name to at least get that right.

Now that the temperature has finally reached the 80's in New England, it's ice cream weather.
So how about a few scoops of Rocky Cherry?
The first time I heard the PawSox reliever's name, I thought it sounded like a flavor of ice cream, and he agrees. In fact, Rocky has considered getting a trademark of his name for that purpose.
Furthermore, he's even thought about the ingredients of his eponymous flavor.
"I'd have vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered cherries – kind of like chopped up where there would be chunks of hard fudge and real cherries," Cherry told me. "I thought I had the perfect mix until I was talking to Javy Lopez and he said, 'Ben and Jerry already has that flavor – it's called Cherry Garcia.' So now my hopes and dreams are dashed."
Not necessarily. All he has to do it tweak it slightly and I'm sure it would be delicious.

The official details are in about Dusty and Jordan Brown's son. I received this e-mail from Jordan on Saturday:

Michael Bowden (3-4, 3.32 ERA) returns to the mound on Sunday in hopes of snapping the PawSox' 8-game losing streak. It's their longest losing streak since August of 1985.

you have talked about Rockys name on talkin pawsox before right? Major league hijinx you got to love it.
SO how about if Rocky Cherry makes his ice cream with cherry ice cream, chocolate chucks and mini-marshmallow. A bit of a take on Rocky Road ice cream? And great trick that the guys pulled on Bates.
Rocky Cherry DOES sound like a ice-cream! & A really good tasting one too. I think I might get myself some ice cream.

YES! That charge off is hurting you!
breakingthecode wrote:
Great information. I've been looking at a particular car for the last few months, doing my homework, and have been worried about my score. I went to a dealer yesterday and found that they had my Exp. score at 571 while I last pulled my score from myFico and it was 613 with them about three months ago (all I have is a secured card for a year and no other credit for the last 5). Needless to say I was upset and shocked by that. My question is, would a charge off on an RV loan that was refinanced to include a vehicle be throwing off my score so much? I haven't had either vehicle in the last 5 & 4 years respectfully. Am I now doomed with this larger spread or does these 'go away' after so many years? Thanks btc
breakingthecode wrote:What, if anything, can I do to lesson this? Do I need to wait so many years or just take on loans at these higher APR's (the dealership said they would do it for a jaw dropping 18%) for smaller loan amounts?
MercyMe wrote:Good morning, Tuscani! This is great info, and of course I have a question, or two. Over the course of the past 7 years, my husband has had three auto loans. All were paid on time/never late, and all are paid off. His regular credit scores are inching up -- high 500s right now, one's a few from 600. He was recently approved for a WaMu, 2000 limit, and an AmEx gold, on the business. When I pulled his business credit snapshot from Ex, it deems the business a low to medium risk, but didn't give a score. There isn't anything on the company credit other than a gas card. Everything's fallen off, over the years. He is always receiving pre-qualified advertisements from car dealerships.Does he stand a good chance of getting a new truck at a reputable dealer, and how might he go about negotiating that? The last auto loan he took out was with our daughter, who needed a car to get back and forth to the university, 30 something miles away. He ended up paying over 25 percent interest on it, through Anything On you probably know what, which is highway robbery to be sure! But the car established her credit and improved his. He needs a truck as his has near 300,000 miles on it now, and is costing in repairs. (Luckilly, two of our sons are auto mechanics, and one owns his own shop). He doesn't want to be embarassed by going in to apply, only to be turned down for an autoloan, you know?Also, what if one has never had an auto loan but their scores are in the mid 600 range? Would that factor as a positive or a negative in auto financing. Thanks for your input.

Using tooth picks
The worst habit you could possibly have when you have food lodgement in the mouth is using a tooth pick to get rid of it. We often try and use this as an acceptable habit even socially but few things are grosser than watching people pick out food bits after meals. If you have a cavity get it fixed. We have numerous cases where the toothpicks have either injured the gums and caused a larger infection or even worse broken in the cavity and triggered of even more pain. So stay safe from dental emergencies do not use tooth picks! while it's important to prevent food lodgement in the mouth and keep your mouth clean use things like brushes interdental brushes and floss sticks or dentists to help you do the same without harming you!
Using a hard or medium brush.
The oldest myth we have seen is brushing your teeth with a hard or medium brush. Please terminate this habit right away ensure you switch to a soft brush at the earliest.
We do not need more teeth ruined or worn off due to overzealous brushing. We see cases with the entire left side worn down and sensitive and I can tell the person is a right handed vigorous brusher. The softer the brush the better it bends and cleans between teeth as well. The gums also recede due to repeated trauma from the hard bristles so save your mouth from these constant attacks in the name of cleaning.
Scrubbing your teeth
The same principle applies when you switch from a hard to soft or extra soft brush don't apply so much pressure that the teeth and gums are still braving the injury.
You need to brush gently as though cleaning glass the force being minimum the reach and coverage being maximum!
So scrubbing is a habit we need to stop.
Not brushing at night
One of the best things we can do to avoid the dentist or any dental troubles is brushing at night. When it comes to cleaning your teeth frequency matters more than force. Ensuring you clean every 12 hours makes bacterial attacks that cause decay inactive so whenever we skip brushing at night we may not realise but it's definitely costing us.
Popping painkillers
The first sign of dental pain and we instinctively choose to ignore it hoping it will go away and if it doesn't we want to go ahead and pop a painkiller till it does. Masking the problem will actually make it bigger -while we all know this we prefer to accept the instant relief the medication provides over the tedious dental visit that may end with bad news. But imagine if we had gone at the very first sign of trouble most likely we would get away with a dental cleaning -the later we go the more often we need to go for extensive treatments.
Let's try and muster the courage to nip these problems in the bud -a habit to develop show up at the very first sign of trouble.
Do it yourself dentistry (diy) at home
We have all been our own dentists at some point!
From self medication to oral applications and home remedies when all else fails we make an appointment.
A few things are harmful and should be used with care when attempting our own dental care.
We recommend mild things like oral rinses or applications which relieve pain but do not use aspirin or any other pain killer to crush and put in the site, that can cause burns.

Academic Probation & Disqualification
A student's academic status at San José State University is based solely on the student's academic coursework. This includes courses taken through the Open University. Every semester students can get information about their grade point average from the university's website. Students earning below a 2.0 grade point average are placed on academic probation. Students who are placed on academic probation may be disqualified from the university if they fail to earn better than a 2.0 grade point average in subsequent semesters. Educational counselors are available to help students in academic difficulty with the following:

Padres Fan Day 2009!
Wow, what an incredible event! I hardly know where to begin, but begin I will!
My mom, my brother and I arrived at Petco Park around one pm.
Jen soon joined us. We got in contact with Hyun Young, who had been there early. We would meet up with her later.
We ran down to the field because some players were signing near the Padres dugout. Unfortunately, the players ran off the field just as we got down there. So, we missed most of the workout. Oh well.
Next we went to the Jake Peavy autograph line, which was full. We decided to take a gamble and went into the overflow line. We waited for about an hour, watching the scoreboard and listening to the music that blasted through the stadium.
Jake made pretty good time. He got through everybody in the guaranteed section in probably forty minutes.
It wasn't looking great for us in the overflow section though. We had certainly taken a gamble. We were only about five rows in, so we were close. But if Jake didn't get to us, we wouldn't have time to go anywhere else. We would either get Jake's autograph or none at all. We took a huge risk!
It looked very unlikey. They said the first two rows of the overflow would get to go, and that was it. But Jake is an incredible man. The next two rows got to go, and ours was next. We were begging to ourselves, "Just one more, just one more!"
Well, we got it. They told us to get up, and we got to join the line. It was so cool. After going through that range of emotions, worry to disappointment to panic to joy! Very cool. We walked down the steps, watching Jake as he signed for the people ahead of us. They were moving people through very quickly. A guy would take your one item to be autographed, put it in front of Jake, you step in front of Jake as he signed, and then you were gone. It was very quick.
Jen was ahead of me, and as Jake signed her ball for her, she told him that though she is a White Sox fan, he was her new favorite Padre. As I stepping in front of Jake, I said, "We love you, Jake!" I think he said something in reply, but I couldn't hear what he said. Oh well.
Let me rave a little about this guy. He went way above what he should have done. I knew he would sign extra for as many fans as possible. What class this country boy has! I love him. I mean, he's starting tonight! Any other ace might have opted out of an event like this in order to prepare for the game. But this guy was incredible. He really shouldn't have done as many autographs as he did. What a great guy! Well, at least now if he gets traded I'll have his autograph! This guy has great class. I am very thankful for this one autograph.
Next we went to the Padres' garage sale, which benefitted the Padres Foundation for Children. There was a lot of cool stuff for a really good price. I got three baseballs, a coffee-tabe type book about Petco Park, a Sports Illustrated magazine with Trevor on the cover from 2002, a music sheet of the Padres' official song, and a poster, all for under $15. I was really impressed. A lot of the stuff was from years ago, but it was pretty cool. I really enjoyed "shopping".
After that, we went to the Cox/Channel 4 table. There was this wheel thingy that you could spin and win strange things. I got sunscreen🙂
Then we finally met up with Hyun Young. We hung out for a while, talking some baseball. We were still standing near the Channel 4 table, and when we saw some of the postgame guys signing autographs. So we thought, why not?
I went up to the table first and laid a piece of blank Padres paper on the table in front of John Weisbarth.
"What's this?" he asked.
"A piece of paper." I replied.
He stared at it for a few seconds. "Would you like me to sign it?"
"Sure!" I exclaimed.
So he did, asking me my name and then trying to think of something clever to write on it. "Thanks 4 watching!" was what he came up with. Isn't that brilliant? He thought that was really good. He passed it on to his comrade Steve Quis, who signed it as well, putting a "+" between his name and John's.
The Hyun Young gave him a piece of (Jen's) notebook paper to sign. John told Steve that he had to come up with the witty saying this time. Steve couldn't think of anything, so John wrote the "thanks 4 watching" again. And something else with their signatures. But Jen's…wow. I'm going to let her tell you about that one. We laughed and laughed and laughed.
Things were winding down. Hyun Young left, and then we prepared to leave as well. But before we left, I noticed a guy who I've heard and read about. He kind of stands out in a crowd, as he had prosthetics for arms. His name is Alex Montoya. He was born without arms or one of his legs. He published a book about his life last year, and as it happens, I've been reading it!
He grew up in San Diego, and his dream was to work with the Padres. Well, he's finally working for them, and he's at the ballpark all the time. I first heard about him when 4SD had a feature about him. It was really cool to meet him, to shake his hook, to talk to him about his book. He was a really nice guy. Meeting him was definitely a highlight of my day.
It was soooo much fun to be there at PETCO Park! We had a great time. I really enjoyed it. It was so great to get out and support my team, check out how they are doing.
I have Spring Break this week, so it's going to be a lot of fun to concentrate on the Padres as they open the season tonight. I am so excited!!
Here are some random pictures from yesterday:

It was a really fun day, and I'm so glad I got to go. Thanks Dad and Mom!
Tonight is the opening game of the season for the Padres, Jake Peavy against Hiroki Kuroda. It's going to be so much fun to see how my Padres do this year. I am so excited!! GO PADRES!!!

Peavy has a really nice looking signature, all curvy and pretty. Some guys just have the worst scrawl! Hopefully all that writing won't have his wrist sore today! Looks like you had a great time!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Good thing for me and Hyun Young that I always carry that notebook! The autograph story will be in tomorrow's blog. I have to let the Opening Day blog have its moment of glory. Hahaha. I'm still laughing at that!
Nice pictures! Yesterday was great. You are so lucky that you got an autograph from Jake. I was about to sit there but it was PACKED! By the way, I fixed my entry so you can see the pictures now. Padres against Dodgers tonight. I can't wait. Go Padres!!
What great pictures you took! Looks like you guys had fun! We didn't have all the players – but Scott & I had a good time in Boston yesterday also! Though I think we took all the sun away!
Wow. You got right up to Peavy and he signed. You must have been so excited! Glad you had fun. Sounds like a blast!
For your information: Jake Peavy lost today's game.
Sounds like you had quite a day. Sweet Peavy autograph. You're welcome for Kouz, btw. Barfield has done less than nothing for my Tribe!
I'm so glad that you, Hyun Young, and Jen all had a great time. That's really nice what Jake did for you all, and it's nice to know that there are still a few nice guys out there. I'm glad that you got to pick up some cool memorabilia too!
My pictures should be fine now. Feel free to check them out. Sorry for the inconvenience😦

I've never seen this one,so....I'm feeling a bit left out. Although if I'm not mistaken, I actually dated the chick that they based this film on, when I was stationed at a Strategic Air Command base in the Great White North about thirty years ago.
True story, too!
One of my faves, Mykal!ReplyDelete
"Perhaps the colonel can tell us what he thought the items referred to?"
I am definitely adding this one to my to-watch list, which is only something like 750 films long at this point.
In "The Atomic Cafe," Eisenhower is heard telling people to not fear science simply because it has progressed so quickly and is difficult for most of us to understand. At the time, I was impressed that a president would say something so level-headed, but the more I see of Cold War atomic fear flicks, the more I wonder if it wasn't intended as nothing more as a weak pacifier to keep the populace calm. Did Eisenhower even believe what he was saying? Or maybe he did, and popular culture at the time played on fears for commercial gain; same story today, just different fears.
Excellent! You need to do this professionally. That one screen cap you made of the slimy brain tentacle coiling around the neck reminds me of that character in Star Wars who had the long flesh-colored tail growing out of his head and coiling around his neck.ReplyDelete
chuck and Kars: thanks for swinging by, guys! Chuck: So, you have some fiendish experience, then, in the Great White North! Kars: - the more I watch this film (and I've watched it about three times now) the more subtleties I pick up.
Stacia: It's hard to remember now, but atomic energy was once seen as having nearly limitless potential - a power source that was eternal and "clean" (meaning no fossil fuels were needed or burned). There was a feeling, very briefly, that we might be entering an age when poverty would be obliterated, hunger would be a thing of the past, etc; all because this eternal, inexhaustible power was going to make production, etc. very, very cheap and widespread across the globe. The Atomic Age!
Unfortunately, as is indicated in Fiend, nuclear power became more like the Pit Bull in the corner. When used well and to purpose, a great friend. Misused (and humans have a tremendous potential for this) the damage that is released is horrific, so horrific that the ne – and there isn't much warning when crossing the line between the two possibilities.
KW: Thanks, buddy! I think this film was pretty influential. Really, everyone should see it for the gore-splattered brain sacks.
"The only mistake Walt Disney made was assuming our wishes never held nightmares."
Your artistry & knack for intertwining this sort of poetry with "gore-splattered brain sacks" is what keeps me in constant awe of your outstanding blog, m'man.
J.: Thanks, pal.ReplyDelete
Ooh, yes, I remember this one! My main memory is amazement that a British film of that vintage could be so very grisly. I just wasn't expecting it, and the images stuck in my mind forever after.
Good of you to specifically acknowledge Crabtree: a much underrated soul. A brilliant cinematographer who turned director with Madonna of the Seven Moons - one of the key Gainsborough melodramas: as someone with a soft spot for The Strange Woman you might just like these - and retired after Horrors of the Black Museum, the definitive ranting Michael Gough film, and another surprisingly gruesome piece for its day. The eye gouging binoculars and bedroom guillotine decapitation still startle.
The story goes that he then denounced his own work and became a prominent member of the Campaign for Moral Rearmament.
These British attempts to duplicate the style and preoccupations of US sci-fi and horror are always intriguing, and you've picked a good one here, and unpicked its threads with your customary skill.
Speaking of curious British sci-fi: Do you know Island of Terror? Peter Cushing versus bone-sucking silicates... I think you'd like it a lot.
Thanks, Matthew: I really liked Crabtree's (completely unkown to me before this little gem) work. I have picked up Horrors of the Black Museum because I liked Fiend so much, but haven't watched it yet.
Thanks for all the Crabtree info! You're better than Wickipedia! I am really going to have to get Island of Terror. I love Cushing, and can watch him in almost anything.
I'm afraid I have missed out on this one as well, but your passion for film's atomic blunders are always a selling point Mykal!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Carl. And thanks for taking the time to comment!ReplyDelete
Oh, man. I do love me some brains! This is my favorite "brain" movie. I mean, sure, it's not the greatest movie ever made, but it has brains complete with spinal cords attacking people! In stop motion, no less! Okay, maybe this IS the greatest movie ever made...ReplyDelete
Dr. When you watch one of those blood-filled brains pop and sputter, it's impossible not to credit its greatness.ReplyDelete

August 2, 2012 —
By Kristin White
Even though I did not grow up in this area or New York State for that matter, my love for this area has grown over time, and the more time I spend here, I find even more things I love about the western Sullivan County area. Take for example the scenery: while not as dramatic as the Southern Appalachian mountain range that I grew up in, the Catskills are just as breathtaking. Of course living along the Delaware River has its advantages as well. I wake up every morning and look out my window to see the river and the Callicoon Bridge in the distance. Who wouldn't want to hear the laughter and fun people are having as they canoe, kayak, boat, or tube the river? Not only that, but I love the locally supported agriculture, the farm markets, restaurants, you name it. I can go to the Agway to buy yeast to make beer or rennet to make cheese, and also find out information on what dog food to feed my two Labrador retrievers. When I saw the job open at the Western Sullivan Public Library I jumped at the chance to work in this area. It turns out it was a great choice!
The Western Sullivan Public Library, with its three branches located in Jeffersonville, Callicoon and Narrowsburg, has long been a resource for western Sullivan County. Not only do we have books, DVDs and Internet access, but we have a wide range of e-books, audiobooks and programs for children, teens and adults. A lot of people might argue that the bricks and mortar libraries are something of the past, but not so at the Western Sullivan Public Library. The circulation statistics prove otherwise, not to mention the need to expand our buildings to accommodate an ever-increasing collection.
This need has led us to embark on making upgrades to our Delaware Free branch in Callicoon. As of this publication, we are expanding the library to increase accessibility for all patrons. In the future, we hope to continue renovations at the Delaware Free Branch, as well as the Tusten-Cochecton and Jeffersonville branches.
Another exciting development we are looking forward to is a Friends of the Library group. We feel that it is of utmost importance that the libraries have a Friends group that will be able to advocate on behalf of the library, raise additional funds for the library and strengthen support for all three libraries. We need people who see the library as an essential part of the community to be involved. As we look toward the future, expansions of libraries and our role in our communities, we see projected upward growth in all areas of the library, including materials, services and technologies. As you can see, we are busy moving forward and have several exciting projects that will lead the Western Sullivan Public Library into the future. With the support of our communities we are moving in the right direction.
[Kristin White is the new director of the Western Sullivan Public Library.]

Pivot to the Middle East
Chuck Hagel possesses the cool-headed skills to help return stability to the war-torn region
By John Grula 01/30/2013
President Obama's Jan. 7 nomination of Chuck Hagel to be his new Secretary of Defense is a bold and gutsy move that presages major changes in America's foreign and military policies.
Hagel is a former Republican senator from Nebraska who served two six-year terms from 1997 to 2009. He is also a Vietnam War veteran who enlisted and eventually became an infantry squad leader. Badly wounded twice in combat, he was later awarded two Purple Hearts. If his nomination is confirmed, he would be the first veteran of that war and the first enlisted man to become Defense Secretary. He knows the horrors of combat in war firsthand, unlike Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, two warmongers who never saw combat but started and prosecuted unnecessary and brutal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Hagel has been critical of both of these wars, and he alienated many Republican colleagues in the US Senate with his denunciations of President George W. Bush's post-9/11 PATRIOT Act, warrantless wiretaps and the Iraq War. Like Obama, Hagel wants to bring the troops home from Afghanistan sooner rather than later, and keep them home as the military is reformed and downsized.
Ever the independent and maverick, Hagel has also expressed skepticism about taking military action against Iran over its nuclear program, and instead favors continued diplomacy, using force only as a last resort. The fact that Hagel's nomination is being vehemently opposed by the likes of the Bill Kristol-led GOP outfit, the Emergency Committee for Israel, indicates Hagel not only greatly prefers a peaceful resolution to the standoff with Iran, but would also do much more to promote Palestinian statehood.
Sen. Hagel has other progressive positions that have put him in the line of fire of his conservative opponents. He has been highly critical of the bloated Pentagon budget, and conservative commentator David Brooks of The New York Times has argued that the main reason Obama nominated Hagel is "to supervise the beginning of [a] generation-long process of defense cutbacks. If a Democratic president is going to slash defense, he probably wants a Republican at the Pentagon to give him political cover, and he probably wants a decorated war hero to boot." Amen to that.
Even more remarkably, Hagel has endorsed Obama's vision of a world free of nuclear weapons, and he is a major supporter of efforts to reduce the numbers and role of nuclear weapons.
In fall 2011, the Obama administration issued a series of announcements that the US would be expanding and intensifying its already substantial military and diplomatic presence in the Asia-Pacific arena, especially the southern part of that region. This US-Asia "pivot" is seen primarily as a response to the growing economic and military power of China.
While Asia-Pacific nations and China are certainly important concerns, the potential threat from China is overblown, and it is diplomatically unproductive to make China feel that we are trying to "contain" it. Plus, there are Asian-Pacific counterweights to China, such as Australia, Japan, India and South Korea. If federal government deficits mean that our huge military budget is due for some significant reductions, we should let these allies shoulder more of the responsibility for Asian-Pacific security.
Moreover, events in the Middle East over the last two years amply demonstrate that this region has become a much bigger threat to world peace and economic prosperity than the Asia-Pacific. The "Arab Spring" revolutions have created ongoing instability in Egypt and other Arab nations, with the Muslim Brotherhood coming into power in Egypt and realigning its foreign policy in ways that could increase the chance of war with Israel.
Meanwhile, a bloody civil war rages in Syria, with tens of thousands already killed and a swelling refugee problem that could ignite military conflicts with Syria's neighbors, such as Turkey and Lebanon. In addition, Iraq remains very unstable and Iran is growing increasingly nervous as its ally in Syria, the Assad regime, appears close to falling.
Finally, Israel's already belligerent stance toward Iran may become even more hostile after Israeli elections later this month, and the possibility that it could launch a preemptive military strike against Iran may only become greater. A regional conflagration in the Middle East would not only mean a huge loss of life, but the resulting disruption of oil supplies from the area, which could plunge the world back into recession, or worse.
Thus, the Obama administration should now be pivoting to the Middle East while putting the Asia-Pacific theater on the back burner. It will require all of our diplomatic skills to return the Middle East to stability, as well as cool heads at the departments of Defense and State.
Who better to guide us through these shoals than Chuck Hagel at the Pentagon and Sen. John Kerry (also a Vietnam vet) at the State Department?

The School Library Profiles developed by the Library Research Service are meant to be used as a comparative tool for school libraries in Colorado. The results represent data received from school libraries that completed the 2011 Colorado School Library Survey. Profiles for each participating school compare individual school data with averages for schools with similar grade level and enrollment ranges. Please note that since all data were derived from responses to the survey, schools that did not respond to the survey are not represented in the Profiles.
Use the school locator (below) to find the school for which you would like to see the 2011-2012 School Library Profile. Remember, schools that did not respond to the 2011 Colorado School Library Survey will not be represented in the Profiles.
Please Note: Starting with the 2008-09 profiles, we are using medians instead of averages for the comparison groups. Medians represent the school in the middle of each statistic - i.e., there are equal numbers of schools above and below the median. For this reason, we felt this was more representative of the "typical" school than average, which can be more strongly influenced by outliers.

Photo by Robbie Pruitt © 2011
Guest post by Irene Pruitt
Irene and I are excited to share that, following God's leading, we will be moving to Port-au-Prince, Haiti this summer. Before I get sidetracked on a stream-of-consciousness explanation of how the story has unfolded to this point (to come in future posts), I'll lay out the facts.
Who? Irene and I are the ones moving, but we really don't feel that we're in this alone. We are being graciously led by a patient and generous God and supported by wonderful family and friends. (For all those who are alarmed, Anna, our dog, will be living in Columbia, SC under a joint custody agreement between Robbie's mom and our sister-in-law and her tribe. With all those nephews and a niece running around, she'll get more love and attention than we were ever able to offer her.)
What? We have both accepted positions at a Christian school. Robbie will be teaching high school Bible, and I, Irene, will be the guidance counselor for the whole school (kindergarten through 12th grade). We're looking forward to doing ministry together, and are excited to collaborate with the other teachers and staff. We really resonate with the school's mission, "to equip students with the necessary academic and spiritual training that prepares them to impact their world for the glory of God," and hope that God can use us to further this goal for the benefit of the students, Haiti, and the Kingdom of God.
When? Our plane tickets are booked for August 2. We'll have a week to adjust, a week of staff orientation, and then school starts. We have made a 2-year commitment to these positions, and plan to be back state-side for Christmas and summer vacations during that time.
Where? We will be working at Quisqueya Christian School, a private inter-denominational school in the Delmas neighborhood of Port-au-Prince. We'll be living on-campus in one of the staff apartments.
Why? The short answer is that we have experienced a clear call from God to take this step. Quisqueya is an amazing school with a mission and vision that feel drawn to. We see the ways that God has prepared and equipped us for the specific positions they have offered us, and how they connect to the needs that exist in Haiti. Frederick Buechner famously said, "The place God calls you is where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." We believe that this is just that place, and we are excited for the adventure that lies ahead.
