Quick, easy Halloween costumes, like this Cute as a Pumpkin Costume from Heather Mann, make last minute costume ideas a breeze! Allow for maximum trick-or-treat time with this easy and cheap no-sew project.
- 1 orange t-shirt (a few sizes larger than your child)
- 1 sheet black felt
- 1 sheet green felt
- 1 sheet green self-stick craft foam
- ¼-inch wide elastic (length depends on the size of the shirt)
- 1 green pipe cleaner
- 1 green pom-pom
- Scissors
- Safety pin
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Recycled corrugated cardboard (6x6-inch piece)
- Recycled plastic grocery bags (optional)
- Make the T-Shirt: Cut eyes, nose, and mouth shapes out of black felt. Make your Jack O' Lantern facial features any shape you like. I cut 2 triangles for eyes and 1 triangle for the nose; I used a half-moon shape for the mouth, with a rectangle cut out of the flat side of the half moon to form a tooth.
- Cut triangular pieces from the green self-stick craft foam to border the t-shirt collar. Cut 4 to 5 triangles, depending on the size of the collar.
- Attach the green triangles around the collar of the t-shirt as a border.
- With hot glue or craft glue, attach the facial features on the front of the shirt, just below the green triangles.
- Cut a small slit in the inside layer of the waistband of the t-shirt.
- Attach the end of the ¼-inch elastic to a safety pin, and thread the elastic through the waistband until it goes all the way around and comes back out through the slit.
- Then, cut the elastic at the end so the length fits the t-shirt. Cinch the elastic so the waistband is slightly gathered, but not uncomfortable. Tie the ends of the elastic together and clip excess. Tuck the knot inside the waistband.
- Gather the sleeve in the same way you did the waistband, but cut two slits, one on either side of the seam on the bottom of the sleeve. Thread elastic into one hole and out the other, and tie knot over seam. Repeat for second sleeve.
- When your chid child wears costume, stuff the shirt with recycled plastic grocery bags for a rounder pumpkin shape. Avoid this step for younger children.
- Make the Hat: Cut a 6-inch circle out of recycled corrugated cardboard (I used a bulk cereal box). Use an old CD or plastic lid for a template, if desired.
- Cut an 8-inch circle out of green felt. Use a bowl for a template, if desired. This circle doesn't have to be perfect, because the edges will be hidden.
- Express a circle of hot glue around the outside of the cardboard circle, close to the edge.
- Fold felt over around the entire edge.
- Measure a piece of the ¼-inch elastic around your child's head going under his chin. Cut so the elastic is snug but not too tight. Glue raw edges of elastic flat to middle of cardboard circle.
- Cut circle of black felt slightly smaller than the cardboard disc (about 5 inches). Hot glue over exposed cardboard and elastic.
- Wrap green pipe cleaner around a pen to make it curly. Hot glue pipe cleaner curl to the green top of the hat. Hot glue pom-pom over the center of the pipe cleaner.

TE Keeper Overviews
For those in standard keeper leagues, especially ones that keep only 3-4 players, retaining a TE and using a valuable keeper spot on him usually isn't a great idea unless you have one of the fantasy superstars at the position. However, with the production being spread thinly these days among RBs and WRs, keeping an elite TE you can count on may be more prudent than usual.
Although both are getting a little older these days, you still have to include Dallas Clark (IND, 31) and Antonio Gates (SD, 30) as the top options. Clark's been in a major zone with his QB for years now, and there's no end in sight to his production. Although the Colts have riches at the WR position now, Clark's role is so cemented in the offense now, so he should still be golden at least two more years with Peyton Manning. As for Gates, I think he's lost a little bit, but he did look good on film last year, and he should have 2-3 peak years left. With the team currently lacking a legit RB (they will certainly draft someone early), it's looking like their offense will be keyed by Philip Rivers and […]

Forestburgh Theatre Arts Center to receive $13,500 in grants
December 15, 2011 —
FORESTBURGH, NY — The Forestburgh Theatre Arts Center (FTAC) Producing Director Norman Duttweiler has announced that the local not-for-profit performing arts organization will receive two state arts grants to support its work of bringing live theatre to both summer audiences and local high schools students. These are the first The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) grants the theatre company has ever been awarded.
In the Theatre/Professional Performances category, FTAC will receive a two-year grant of $5,000 ($2,500 for both 2011 and 2012) in support of the summer season of plays and musicals at the Forestburgh Playhouse. In the Arts Education/In-School Program category, Forestburgh Theatre Arts Center will receive $11,000 for its educational theatre program that brought a professional production of Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie" to Monticello High School and seven other area high schools this past October. Interactive student workshops presented with the production were developed by the Forestburgh Theatre Arts Center in consultation with the IABP Educational Consultant Group.
"We are thrilled at this award and honored with the recognition and the confidence that NYSCA has shown in the quality of our work here in Sullivan County. A grant of this magnitude confirms what patrons of the Playhouse and clients of our educational programs have known for some time: the Forestburgh Theatre Arts Center produces first rate professional theatre right here in Sullivan County," said FTAC Artistic Director Ron Nash. Duttweiler said, "While we feel we have worked hard to deserve these grants, we are very mindful of the efforts of Governor Cuomo and our local state representatives, State Senator John J. Bonacic, and Assemblywoman Aileen M. Gunther, in helping to procure these grant dollars not just for the Forestburgh Theatre Arts Center, but really for the benefit of the residents of Sullivan and Orange counties. Organizations like ours significantly improve the quality of life of our citizens, and we are grateful for their support."
The FTAC educational theatre program, also known as the New Audience Project (NAP), brings live theatre to area high schools in the fall, and is now in its fourth year. Since 2008, NAP has presented productions of "The Miracle Worker,' "Inherit the Wind," "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Glass Menagerie" to well over 10,000 area students. The fall 2012 production will be announced shortly.

- USDA Announces Agreement To Further Open Japan's Market To U.S. Beef
- Some background on Japan's decision
- NCBA's statement on Japan easement
Under these new terms, which enter into effect on February 1, 2013, Japan will now permit the import of beef from cattle less than 30 months of age, compared to the previous limit of 20 months, among other steps.
More About:
United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk and United States Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that the United States and Japan have agreed on new terms and conditions which pave the way for expanded exports of U.S. beef and beef products to Japan. Under these new terms, which enter into effect on Feb. 1, 2013, Japan will now permit the import of beef from cattle less than 30 months of age, compared to the previous limit of 20 months, among other steps. It is estimated that these important changes will result in hundreds of millions of dollars in exports of U.S. beef to Japan in the coming years. This agreement also goes a long way toward normalizing trade with Japan by addressing long-standing restrictions that Japan introduced in response to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).
"This is great news for American ranchers and beef companies, who can now – as a result of this agreement – increase their exports of U.S. beef to their largest market for beef in Asia," said Ambassador Kirk. "This represents a significant and historic step in expanding U.S. beef trade with Japan and growing American exports and jobs here at home. We welcome Japan's action."
"Today's announcement reflects another successful effort by the Obama Administration that boosts the bottom line for America's agriculture. We are in the most successful period in history for America's agriculture sector, with agricultural exports this year expected to set yet another record," said Secretary Vilsack. "We will continue our efforts to break down barriers and expand access for high-quality, safe and wholesome U.S. food and agricultural products to Japan and around the world."
The two governments also agreed to regular and ad hoc consultations to review progress under the agreement and address any issues that may arise. In an accompanying letter exchange, Japan also confirms its ongoing BSE risk assessment by its Food Safety Commission (FSC), which includes a consideration of raising the age limit above 30 months for beef and beef product imports from the United States, taking into account international standards.

Super and Superer
With tomorrow being the Superbowl and all, not many people care to focus on the happenings of the baseball world. Well, when in Rome….
I think the best place to begin is with an idea that seems antiquated in and of itself: white running backs. Trust me, I'm just as shocked as you are.
But, as good as those guys may have been, they can't hold a candle to this:
We miss you, Barry. Detroit isn't the same without you, even though you definitely deserved better.
Happy Superbowl Weekend!
4 Comments
Here we go Steelers, here we go! Even though a Pirates simple winning season would trump the accomplishment of the 4 super bowls vie seen in my lifetime
I don't even know what a running back is or does, but happy Super Bowl watching! I'll be counter-programming and tuning in to "60 Minutes."
Oh, wait. Maybe the Super Bowl is on CBS? I'd better check.
Nice video. The most amazing thing about Barry's running was how he used to blow those Gregorian chants out his rectum.

End the crisis, then talkOctober 10,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
The demand from House Republicans on Tuesday morning theres a new one every day was recycled from the last fiscal crisis they created: a bipartisan supercommittee of 20 lawmakers to negotiate a way out of the two crises (the government shutdown and debt-ceiling deadline) the House has now merged together. It was a particularly cynical flourish, given the Republican sabotage of the last supercommittee, and Democrats were right to dismiss it.
As President Barack Obama forcefully asserted at a news conference later in the day, there can be no negotiations until the government is open and until Republicans raise the debt ceiling and end the possibility of default. Negotiating under threat of economic calamity is untenable.
Once those threats are removed, however, there is plenty to discuss: how to replace the sequester cuts, which are already devastating domestic programs and are about to get much worse for defense spending; how to use fiscal policy to stimulate the creation of jobs and fix the nations infrastructure; how to repair a broken tax system, reduce long-term debt, and ensure that social welfare programs remain healthy.
These issues have been staring Congress in the face for years, and Republicans have run from them. They rejected Obamas 2011 proposal for a grand bargain to reduce the deficit by cutting spending and raising tax revenues. Last years supercommittee briefly created the possibility that the two sides might agree on another debt-reduction package, but Republicans refused to even consider a deal that included higher revenues.
Then, in April, when the Senate passed a budget that offered a similar mix of tax revenues and more reasonable spending cuts to end the sequester, the House refused even to discuss it in a conference committee. That budget remains on the table, and the Senate Budget Committee chairwoman, Patty Murray of Washington, asked for a conference Tuesday for the 20th time. Sure enough, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., blocked it.
The bill that would create the new supercommittee would only allow the committee to examine spending levels and reforms, and it says nothing about revenue levels.
After years of recalcitrance, one thing has become clear: Republicans dont want to negotiate on budget issues. They only want their way, a budget that contains only cuts, in contrast to the balanced approach from Democrats.
As Obama said, Speaker John Boehner is demanding that Democrats give a lot of concessions to Republicans, Republicans dont give anything, and then thats dubbed as compromise. Theres no need for a newly created committee, he said, when the House and Senate budget committees already have spending and revenue blueprints they can use as the basis for bargaining.
But those talks can be held only after a resolution to the current crisis. The path forward is glaringly obvious even to a growing number of House Republicans: a clean continuing resolution to fund the government for a few weeks or months, and an unconditional increase in the debt limit.
If Boehner continues to refuse to put those measures on the floor, Republicans and Democrats should join together to sign a discharge petition to force a vote, which would undoubtedly pass. And then the talks about what would be good for the countrys future can begin.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

I'm starting to think that when it's time to wean, I'll be ready. I'm getting pretty sick of the pain and discomfort. My body just doesn't do what it's supposed to do and every morning I'm engorged with a huge lump sticking out of the left one. I'm thankful I'm not in as the agony I was in when he started sleeping 8hrs at night, but it still hurts. And so many months of it is tiring.
I'm reading Weissbluth for help with nap and sleeping issues, and I agree with him about not waking a sleeping baby, but he really doesn't understand thing 1 about bf! I won't wake DS because I want him to sleep well and be happy, but after 10-11 hours, it stands to reason that I'm uncomfortable. In fact, he might sleep longer if I tried, but I just can't take it. I'd like to get some sleep myself now. After all, with pg and nursing, it's been well over a year since I've had plenty of sleep.
DS is starting to relish his solid foods and is nursing less. It surprised me when I realized that we're down to about 4-5 nursings per day! So I think it's time to try and make me more comfortable. What can I do to reduce my supply at night? I know about cabbage and will start that tonight. Any other suggestions?

Let's remember that Lin's jersey was among the top selling jerseys in the NBA last year after he busted out. Also let's consider how much Jeremy Lin stood to gain by staying in the world's largest market. Somehow I don't see the same types of corporations coming after him for marketing opps playing in Houston as I would if he were doing it in NYC. I'm pretty sure Kobe Bryant wouldn't be earning the same dollars he's earning on his Nike sneaker deal if he were playing in Charlotte for instance. All throughout the Lebron chase, all we kept hearing about was the added $40M dollar deal that Nike was prepared to invest if he ended up in NYC that summer, & that's not even counting any of the jersey & ticket sales that he would have generated.
So in terms of dollars on paper, Lin may have signed himself a more lucrative deal, but in the long run I think he loses out over what he would have gained if he'd signed the original offer sheet & the Knicks matched like they were planning on doing. & I think the Knicks lose out on the marketing opportunities that Linsanity afforded them all last season. The Knicks were the hottest topic in the game & their games became must see television with Linsanity. Now both sides lose out. It's a shame it had to come to this.

No immortal in the history of baseball retired so young, so well, or so completely as Sandy Koufax. After compiling a remarkable record from 1962 to 1966 that saw him lead the National League in ERA all five years, win three Cy Young awards, and pitch four no-hitters including a perfect game, Koufax essentially disappeared. Save for his induction into the Hall of Fame and occasional appearances at the Dodgers training camp, Koufax has remained unavailable, unassailable, and unsullied, in the process becoming much more than just the best pitcher of his generation. He is the Jewish boy from Brooklyn, who refused to pitch the opening game of the 1965 World Series on Yom Kippur, defining himself as a man who placed faith over fame. This act made him the standard to which Jewish parents still hold their children. Except for his autobiography (published in 1966), Koufax has resolutely avoided talking about himself. But through sheer doggedness that even Koufax came to marvel at, Jane Leavy was able to gain his trust to the point where they talked regularly over the three years Leavy reported her book. With Koufax's blessing, Leavy interviewed nearly every one of his former teammates, opponents, and friends, and emerged with a portrait of the artist that is as thorough and stylish as was his command on the pitching mound.

Serve Others
Service is the rent we pay for living. - Marian Wright Edelman
At North Central, we develop great tenants of the human community. Beginning with the Into the Streets service project during first-year orientation, students find opportunities around every corner—including regular local service projects, national and international service trips, and our annual Intersection service day each fall.
In fact, each year more than 1,000 students give more than 21,000 hours toward service and volunteerism—an effort that regularly earns the College recognition on President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. Many classes include a service-learning component, and all of our 60-plus student organizations plan at least one service project throughout the year; six of those student organizations have the specific mission of service, justice and community action.
North Central students can regularly be found stocking food pantry shelves, befriending refugee families, tutoring children in underperforming schools, mentoring urban youth, visiting the elderly in nursing homes and raking leaves for neighbors. Student organizations like Cardinals in Action, Junior/Senior Scholars, Circle K International and the Uncommon Life Movement facilitate rich service experiences that build lasting relationships in Naperville, Aurora, Chicago and beyond.
During college breaks, students have a bit more time to embark on service adventures. Alternative Spring Break trips, planned by the student organization Break Away, include multiple opportunities to build homes with Habitat for Humanity in places like Florida, Alabama and South Carolina. Other trips are focused on urban issues through our partnership with the Center for Student Missions, which guides students to meaningful service in cities like New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
Summer break and our December Term allow for even more intense service immersions. Our global partners in places like Kenya, Haiti, Mexico and the Philippines give students opportunities to experience ongoing relief and development work, including visiting HIV/AIDS orphans and assisting in earthquake rebuilding projects. Students can also make an international impact by staying on campus, advocating for human rights, raising funds to build schools, and packing meals for malnourished kids through organizations like International Justice Mission, NCC for Africa, Heifer International and Feed My Starving Children.

November 6, 2013 —
HONESDALE, PA — Noting their diligence and the tremendous obstacles that women in business have overcome and the challenges they continue to face in the workplace, the Wayne County Commissioners on October 24 proclaimed National Business Women's Week in Wayne County.
Several members of the Wayne County Professional Women's Club were on hand to accept the proclamation. The Wayne club was chartered 52 years ago and President Joanne Hohman said its main goal of helping other women entering the business world is carried out through college and trade school scholarships.
Commissioner Wendell Kay noted that all three of the commissioners have professional women in their families and that the club has set an example for the young and not-so-young women in the community.
He said the club's scholarships and its sponsorship of candidates' events related to local elections were "all very important. You play an important role no matter what time of the year," he said.
In another action at the meeting, the commissioners confirmed the hiring of Laurel Clark as Deputy Chief Clerk in the Treasurer's Office. Clark is salaried at $22,019.82 annually.

Recent rains coupled with an expected warm-up have some Iowa communities warily watching rising streams.
The National Weather Service says snowmelt is producing both minor and major flooding for cities along rivers mostly in eastern Iowa. Several flood warnings are in effect.
Several cities along the Iowa River are experiencing flooding. Kalona near the English River has major flooding, with water at 18 feet as of Tuesday. That's above its flood stage of 14 feet.
Residences along the Wapsipinicon River near DeWitt also are experiencing major flooding. The water is at 13.1 feet as of Tuesday, above its flood stage of 11 feet.
Weather officials say recent heavy rain is unusual for this time of year.

I wonder if there is a name for a situation where:
(a) one notices something apparently surprising or noteworthy;
(b) this turns out to be due to a misconception;
(c) the surprising/noteworthy thing then turns out to be true after all.
For example:
I open my curtains and see what appears to be snow on the grass. Then I notice that what I have seen is actually a large white board. I then look beyond it and discover that there is indeed a covering of snow on the grass.
I assume from a newspaper report that a friend of mine has died. I then discover that it is someone else of the same name, but very soon afterwards I learn that my friend has died about the same time.
An event in my dream happens in reality while I am dreaming (and is not a cause of my dream).
These are coincidences, but of a special kind. Is there a concise expression that describes such occurrences?

one thing you've got there is synchronicity, or coincidence in time.. but I don't think that's what you're looking for - it doesn't include the misconception

Yes, (as Tsuwm says) this leaves out your condition b. I think synchronicity also has an element of déjà vu or of its sibling (in psychological terms) jamais vu (link). There are some weird terms out there for all sorts of mental states. You might also want to look at infinite regress of "Turtles all the way down" (link._________________________

If the coincidence is a pleasnt one, then one could, perhaps, refer to it as "serendipitous synchronicity." But this could ot apply to,e.g., the death of your friend, as posrukated above.
Of course, this is two words, not the single term for which you seek._________________________

"serendipitous synchronicity" ≠ "unpropitious synchronicity"

Part of the difficulty in answering your question lies in the way the situation is framed:
"(a) one notices something apparently surprising or noteworthy;
(b) this turns out to be due to a "misconception;"
Example one, however, illustrates a "misperception" rather than a "misconception," not to put too fine a point on it. You perceived something with your senses (eyesight) without giving it substantial thought, then on second look realized your misperception. Your perception never rose to the level of conception. For a discussion of the difference
in the two words see ( http://grammarist.com/usage/conceive-perceive/)
In the second look you perceived, then perceived again. This is "reperception," a word found in the dictionary. Still, the situation reminds me very much of "pentimento" in art, and the title of Lillian Hellman's biography.
In example two you described a "misunderstanding" of the facts rather than a "misperception" or "misconception." I would say the example illustrates a "corrected misunderstanding."
In example three, you depicted a pure coincidence, one event (the dream) having no
relation to the reality it coincidentally describes. To coin a word, how about "coincidream" or "dreamincidence?"
P.S. I am somewhat alarmingly described as "stranger" beneath my forum name, "mtc." I hope you are not xenophobic!

No mtc, here we are xenophobic only to those who remain a stranger.
Speaking of which...
Do you always enter discussions by re-framing the original question?

Vt broadband speeds fare well in report, with caveat
Vermont is again ranked as the state with the highest average Internet speed according to the latest Akamai Quarterly State of the Internet Report.
In the past officials have cited the report as proof that Vermont is doing well in its broadband efforts, but theres no shortage of people who are skeptical of the reports findings based on their own broadband speeds.
Their comments are familiar to the reports author, David Belson, who takes pains to explain his methodology and the meaning of the results.
Belson says the averages listed in the report are not based on theoretical figures or the speeds that the providers advertise.
The speed 12.7 megabits per second is the actual average of speeds businesses and individuals in Vermont are experiencing.
But Belson says its important to understand what the average means. Akamai, which is an Internet content provider, is not counting Internet users, its counting hits.
In other words, the people who use the Web the most are generating more of the data that goes into the report. If those people have very fast Internet speeds, thats going help to raise the average.
To illustrate this point, consider this analogy: When Bill Gates walks into a bar, the average income of the patrons in that bar skyrockets.
That same principle accounts for Vermonts first-in-the-nation standing for average broadband speeds.
Thats the risk of using an average, unfortunately, says Belson.
In the case of Vermont there are three Bill Gates types.
Two are colleges. The University of Vermont and Middlebury College together account for 15 percent of the Vermont Internet traffic measured by Akamai, and they have Internet speeds well above the average.
The third Bill Gates is a Vermont Internet service provider, which Belson isnt permitted to name. It has higher than average speeds and its customers account for 50 percent of the states online traffic monitored by Akamai.
The Bill Gates effect is, in essence, partially at play here where the two colleges and the provider are dragging the average speed up, says Belson.
He says the number of IP addresses, or Internet connections, in Vermont is small only North Dakota has fewer which means its easier for a user like the University of Vermont with high-speed service and thousands of students, faculty and staff using it, to influence the average.
If youre talking about a state like California or Texas or New York, it is much harder for a given institution or network provider to overwhelmingly influence the calculations, he says.
Belson says other states are close to Vermont in average broadband speeds, but he points to the continued growth of high-speed Internet access in the state over time, which may allow it to maintain its standing.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

SUN RA: Paris Tapes (double CD)
An excellent, radio quality, live recording of a 1971 concert by the large version of the band (21 piece plus dancers) on their classic first European tour. These are long extended version of familiar materials including Discipline 27, Love In Outer Space, Somebody Else's Idea, Watusi, Space Is The Place, Angels And Demons at Play - with various solos and untitled stretches along the way, including a long Moog solo from the boss. Against the very high recording quality one has to set the sense of pace. This obviously suited the concert but to my ear is hard to sustain on a record. There's great material but some editing would have helped. That may just be a bugbear of mine though.

Since RoboForm support was provided for Chorme,I have used Chrome or Chromium-based browsers for my work as an IT Consultant and Web developer.
SRWare is the fastest I tried of the Chorme-Choromium family. To verify If my perceptions were right, I benchmarked 5 browsers with PeaceKeeper (from FutureMark):
1. SRWare v.5.0.381

An Impact by Kapoor
Anish Kapoor is a master of form. Throughout his decorated career, he has used sculpture to lead audiences to use his forms as lenses in which they can view the world in a new way. With his mirrored installations such as Chicago's Cloud Gate or the traveling Sky Mirror, he forces people to rethink a sight they see every day through his own artful distortion.
After viewing the Chicago skyline bend into a new artificial horizon, one steps away to look at the original with new appreciation.
Repetition causes the mind to become blind to the very objects that define their surroundings. It is through transformation of these objects or ideas that people light up with the excitement of something new, causing them to remember the original through comparison and to rethink the possibilities of the banal. The presence of this duality is strongly displayed in the Kapoor's newest piece, a sculptural bottle- form, commissioned by Absolut.
The sculpture displays two variations of the iconic bottle shape, reimagined through color, texture, and orientation. The familiar Absolut bottle is protean shape that has graced the back of countless magazines camouflaged in seemingly endless ways. However, removed of the punch line, Kapoor's concave envisioning of the shape creates a feeling of the bottle's absence. The void allows the mind to overlay the all caps blue lettering of 'ABSOLUT VODKA' where they aren't.
Kapoor's use of minimalism to make a bold statement mirrors the original design intentions of the bottle itself. When Absolut first released its bottle, it was derided for being difficult to see on the bar due to its clear label, and its stout stature. Yet, not only did Absolut stand by their bottle, they went so far to make it the centerpiece of the brand. Their belief was that its simplicity is what allows it to stand out and be remembered.
Over the nearly thirty five years since the bottle was first unveiled, it has become ubiquitous. Once celebrated for its uniqueness – it is now highly imitated. Through the Kapoor commission, the bottle can be seen in a new perspective, recast as the memorable form it has always been.

Some homes along the Rock River, Lake Koshkonong, Turtle Creek and Sugar River are flooding in Rock County.
Chief Deputy Barbara Tillman at the sheriff's department says some homes have water in yards, some have a few inches in basements and others have full basements.
She says the power company has turned off electricity to some areas and some flooded roads in the county are also closed.
She says local athletes, fire departments, other community volunteers and inmate crews are filling thousands of sandbags and leaving them throughout the county so residents can easily access them.
Law enforcement has not issued any evacuations. So far, Tillman says flooding is not as bad as in 2008 but they are closely monitoring the situation.

Win or lose this was a great game by the avs! Andy!!! WOW Unreal!!!!!! but, the NHL should be embarrassed by the calls in this series. Two more high sticks missed tonight and two trips in the last three minutes that should have been called. Either let them play or be consistent!!!!!
any word on Mueller?
still hasnt started skating yet..id say game 5 would be the earliest/ jones has been skating i really think he should be able to play next game..especially with hejduk possibly being out longer and porter being out
Good game Avs fans. Anderson was amazing.
OMFG!!!!! ****in rites
WTF was that? I've seen it 5 times and i'm still confused. We won somehow.

i was speechless..should get a few more fans out for the next game now

I'm prety sure that there was someone in the grassy knoll. Watch it again. Back and to the left.

I guess 37 did touch the puck
Thank you Dan Boyle!!!
haha andy is amazing i love how the refs and our defense basicly gave them game to them but they sucked to much to take it. i also love how somemone threw a dead shark out on the ice. we didnt deserve this one but andy definitley did we need to play alot better tuesday the sharks are gonna be playing pissed off hopefully we get somebody healthy by then.

text: Were the blocks to the Pyramid poured? 123>LincolnGenghis posted:9/1/2011 9:03:29 PM I have been running across passing references about artificial stone usage in past ancient constructions for years. Most of the time the experts never follow thru on an explanation on this point and would continue going on about something else. I finally sat down last week and looked into this matter for myself to find out about it. In my searching I came accross the geopolymer institute. I got to tell you they have my vote, and the real world data and papers to back it up. So much for levitation or insanely big advanced machinery for moving solid blocks.Anyone interested in this I have the link down below. http://www.geopolymer.org/archaeology/introduction-why-an-archaeology-section-at-the-geopolymer-instituteI know those ancient construction workers had beer so I know how they unwound on their weekends off. But my question is this: Did they also whistle at and make nasty comments to women that happened to walk by their construction sites?Did they fake injuries to get comp claims?Did they call in sick on mondays and take off early on Fridays?You know mabe they were more like us than we think. spiritech0 posted:9/1/2011 11:17:39 PM They were more than we are right now. That's a damn shame ain't it? I mean, when was the last time you built a shopping mall sized set of structures that are guaranteed to survive up to a nuclear explosion? Hold on to your hard drives, cuz the cave graffitti will still be here.Omen502 posted:9/2/2011 4:45:48 AM Ok, I checked out the link. I think if they have enough evidence surely they do not show enough of it only text on screen, which seems to be opinion to me. The presence of air bubbles happens even in hardened lava. The fibers not so sure i would like to examine them under a microscope and see for myself as to thier findings and the fibers composite makeup and as what i have seen from the intitute proves to be only speculation to me. We do know where these limestone blocks were taken from. and if they were molded or poured then why not do it at the site of construction and not the same place where these materials where taken. Alchemy is a strong tool when knowledge allows it to be, but I have seen the stone of the pregnant mother which was never moved, just left lying at the place of its retrieval. Many other blocks left laying on the desert sand right next to thier place of origin. Why carry it. I could understand the power of alchemy being that I believe Hanibal used prcoesses of this possibly using heat, vinegar, and water to break down mountains in order for him to cross the alps with a herd of elephants and an army. It is possible to use alchemy but not so sure this was used like so in the building of the pyramids though I do not count it out. Maybe chisel the limestone or granite into "concrete dust" and mix it on the site of construction. I don't know. It is a valid option and therefore do not discredit it, but I do not see enough evidence to agree yet. We also have to be weary of institutes and schools and thier teachings. After all they tought me I came from a monkey through evolution and I feel this is not true. maybe mixed with prehistoric man through genetic manipulation. I am glad you brought this topic to the forum micheal and urge you to do more so. I do not know how they did it, I'm not sure anyone alive now does. Well maybe someone, secretly, silently, waiting. . . . With the knowledge of ancient wonders and magic. . .ready to use it again. . . when the time is right. . . for world domination. Everybody get ready I feel we might be in for a wild ride here in the near future.LincolnGenghis posted:9/2/2011 8:33:12 PM There is allot more to that site then what is on the surface and various links going off it.. If you dig deep enough in there they have the entire theory and how they think the construction methods were done. The easiest explanation to what I have found so far is that the raw materials were brought to site and evidentaly mixed there and poured into forms almost just like modern concrete building construction. They have even already created an identical artificial stone block to test their theories out.I guess all the people involved in that are really not that interested in the archeology of the whole thing, they are all industry profesionals and scientists who already take the artificial stone theory as a given and are trying to understand and impliment the technology in their own industries. I mean who would not want a building made out that stuff? the thing would last longer then any current concrete structures. I guess it is also kind of a green technology , not as many by products and way less pollution than concrete manufacturing.The whole thing would definately explain the perfect edges and perfect fits between the blocks on the pyramids. I mean hell in a liquid state the stuff would be self leveling like concrete. wavygravy7 posted:9/4/2011 9:57:23 AM Stone vitrification explains alot,but we do not know how to do this with the types of stone they used at many of these sites.Cusco,Peru looks like it was "poured" to me.This is very interesting and I don't hear alot of talk about it.gary107 posted:9/4/2011 1:17:38 PM the lime stones at Gaza were found to have human hairs inside of them, not so with the large stones in South America.LincolnGenghis posted:9/4/2011 3:57:19 PM Evidently those polymer researchers have known about this for years, there is even a product that one company has that is blatantly called Pyracrete (The Pyra is for Pyramid?). I think the biggest problem that is going on with this is that neither camp in archaeology(The Mainstream or the Fringe) wants to hear it, the are both too polarized in their beliefs.For mainstream it would force them to rewrite just about everything they know if it was proven that multiple sites on different continents that should not have been in contact with each were using the same geopolymer chemistry at the same time. It would be a smoking gun with with six spent shells in the chamber. They have always dismissed the similarties between South America and Egypt builds saying that the pyramid shape just made the most sense for early builders. But if they were using the same complicated artificial stone science that would be way more than chance.For the Fringe archeologists I think the explanation is not mysterious enough. If it does not involve aliens, levitation or magic prayersit does not sell enough books. I think what they would be missing the point on would be the actual complexities of the geopolymer science that the anchient builders seem to have been employing. That alone would point to some forgotten high technology that was lost until recent times. I mean holy S&*^ they were making artificial rock that has passed as the real thing to geologists for years.The one thing that it helped me to make sense of also that always bothered me was the holes that they were boring thru that stuff.They had a machinist on some show looking at one of the holes and the marks inside saying at the rate of feed of the device and the size of the hole that it could have only been made by an ultra sonic drill. (Well unless the stone had not hardened yet , in wet state you could have probably used a wood tube and turned it by hand.)wavygravy7 posted:9/6/2011 8:00:17 PM In Reply To:gary107 posted:9/4/2011 1:17:38 PM the lime stones at Gaza were found to have human hairs inside of them, not so with the large stones in South America.Yes but there is evidence of vitrification in South America.I wish that I had a link to the video I watched on this subject so that it could be linked.LincolnGenghis posted:11/29/2011 8:56:48 PM Had to dig up this old thread again.

It was just after hearing every possible theory imaginable on the subject with everything from hand carving each stone to magic levitation crystals to aliens, this was the one that made the most sense to me. (And they seem to actually be backing it up with allot of studies and actual data.) : If this construction method is proven to be true I don't think it will steal away much of the fun mystery of the whole thing. In fact I think it will bring up a much greater mystery. They have started looking at sites in south America with some of the same construction theories in mind. If it is proven that Egypt and South America were using some of the same construction methods around the same time it throws the doors wide open to the people researching Alt, Mu, and Atlantis.

The farm's generator uses a technology called "flash pyrolysis" which transforms the walnut shells into biogas. The walnut shells are burned in the BioMax generator which converts these into sufficient gas to power a 1,000 square-foot storage refrigerator.

My local patch is a 27km stretch of SH12, between Ruawai and Dargaville in Northland NZ.
We have been here about four years now, having come from the East Midlands back in the UK, where I was lucky to have a number of good local patches. But here I have found it hard to find a good local patch. Access to land here can be hard and it can mean long journeys to good birding sites.
So now I find SH12 to be my patch! And its not to bad, I get to work it twice a day six to severn days a week!
A large area is open pasture land with some native bush. The road runs close to the wide Wairoa river with sp.... Mangrove and Raupo and a kind of Pampas grass.
Common day to day birds are usually Australasian Harrier, Mallard, Australian Magpie, Spur-Winged Plover but you do get the odd rare bird as I have seen Australasian Bittern by the side of the road too! Incidentally close to Tokatoka, an extinct Volcano.

DS slept through the night for the first time last night from 8p to 6a. I know it should make me happy but it kinda makes me sad that he didn't need me. I am always tired and not fully awake for the night feeding but I enjoyed it. He was always snuggled more and ate like a little champ, then went right back to bed.
Plus I woke up about 30min before he did so full it hurt. I might try to pump before bed tonight and see if that helps and I can make it as long as he does. I had to do the pump and feed for the first time in over a month this morning.

Why Bond Prices Go Up and Down
Step 1: How Do Changing Interest Rates Affect My Bonds?
Bond prices go up and down in response to two factors: changes in interest rates and changes in credit quality. Individual investors who purchase bonds tend to worry a lot about the safety of their money. Generally, however, they tie safety to credit considerations. Many individual investors do not fully understand how changes in interest rates affect price. Since the late 1970s, changes in the interest rate environment have become the greatest single determinant of bond return. Managing interest rate risk has become the most critical variable in the management of bond portfolios. In this article, we'll see why.

Step 2:

Step 3:
If Long-Term Bonds Are So Risky, Why Would Anyone Purchase Them?
Step 4:
If Rates Go Up, Should I Sell My Bonds and Buy New Ones?
"Interest rate risk," also known as "market risk," refers to the propensity bonds have of fluctuating in price as a result of changes in interest rates.
All bonds are subject to interest rate risk.

Making a defective product is ridiculously easy. Hell, even a tiny baby can make a cake that cannot be eaten. What takes true talent is designing a product with malfunctions that reach above and beyond the realm of the possible. Maybe you're designing a safe and neat car that just happens to attract hordes of spiders. Maybe your brand new safety holster causes guns to randomly fire themselves.
Or maybe, just maybe, you came up with a product so terrifyingly vile that it doesn't just train-wreck itself, but actively pisses ruin all over the great thing it's supposed to honor.
4 The Alcohol That Ruins Booze
Our world is made of many things, most of which are completely fine on their own. But combine them with other concepts and they can easily turn into things of pure, primal horror: beer and base-jumping, kindergarten and meteorites, toothpaste and orange juice. That's why we have chefs and interior decorators and folks who are really good at Tetris. They're the people who are great at finding things that go well together, a valuable skill that surprisingly few of us possess.
The mad scientists who presumably invented Whipped Lightning to finance their bouts with Batman certainly don't.
Whipped Lightning
In case you can't make it out and feel like punching something, that label reads "hazelnut espresso whipahol."
Whipped Lightning is flavored whipped cream that's 36.5 proof. As in, it's got alcohol in it. Now, your gut reaction might be to jump up and scream: "I can't tell if Whipped Lightning is a new kind of alcohol or the title for a new Steven Seagal movie where this time he has a whip, but, either way, HOLY SHIT, I AM ON BOARD!" It's all right -- that's what I did at first, too. But when you sit back and really think about the concept, you may spot some itty bitty cracks in its facade.
It's true that the idea of a whipped cream that can get you shitfaced is, on paper, a wonderful one. But have you ever tasted anything dairy-based that has alcohol in it? There are two ways that can go, and unless you're following a pre-existing recipe, there's a fair chance that your ouzo-yogurt experiment will wind up a curdled blob that you insist on naming the Royal Flush, despite the fact that it looks like hobo underpants and tastes like hobo feet.
Thinkstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
This is the one that alcoholic eggnog for Christmas comes from.
That's the score with Whipped Lightning: It manages to take the good things of whipped cream (sweetness, texture, ability to gorge on until it looks like you have a miniature iceberg coming out of your mouth) and the good things of alcohol (alcohol) and throw them all right out of the window. What's left is an ugly spray can filled with artificially flavored muck that tastes like chemicals and rubbing alcohol.
I'm guessing the taste aspect could probably be overlooked (by frat boys, if no one else) if this thing would work like shots and you could get loaded with just a few mouthfuls. But although 36.5 proof is by no means a bad toxicity score for a dessert frosting, this still leaves it with no more kick than, say, fortified wine. And I can't shake the feeling that even the most dedicated I-drink-because-I-hate-myself wino would seriously consider sobriety if the other option requires them to chug a wine bottle's worth of pressure-packed udder pudding that tastes like licking a hospital.
3 The Butt Flap That Makes Your Dog a Source of Shame
Here's a controversial claim: Dogs are awesome.
This doesn't mean that all dog owners are, though. Unless you're planning to adopt, getting a dog can be done almost as casually as making a baby, which is why plenty of people who probably shouldn't wind up doing both. This is why the pet product industry is able to get away with ridiculous products and services like these and these and these and these and fucking these.
However, no amount of cluelessness on their owners' part manages to take away the fact that dogs are, indeed, awesome. Even if you're the sort of person who dresses their pup in colorful clothing and makes it wear a dog shit harness, it's extremely difficult to walk your dog in a park and look bad. Because you're hanging out with a dog, and that's awesome.
That is, unless you make your pet wear the Rear Gear.
Rear Gear
"Finally, I can take a picture with my dog's asshole without the stigma attached to taking a picture with my dog's asshole."
The Rear Gear is a flap that covers your pet's butthole, because those things just aren't natural. Strapping one on your dog (or cat, because you're a double sociopath) will instantly turn your beloved pet into the animal equivalent of those cringe-inducing cars with "wacky" bumper stickers. You know, the ones that you just know are driven by a complete and utter turdmonger? That's what your beloved animal companion looks like now.
I know what you're thinking: "I don't want anyone to see my dog's butthole, but I'm also afraid of flower stickers." Don't worry, there are PLENTY of non-flower butthole stickers for you, person I hope I never meet.
Rear Gear
As a comedy writer, I'm disproportionately pissed off because that award ribbon thing says #1.
Although your dog itself might be blissfully oblivious of the Rear Gear, I guarantee that the other dogs in the park will take up karate, just to save their owners the trouble of kicking you in the crotch.
Also, there's this: If you've ever been bothered by your dog's asshole so much that you feel the need to cover it, there's a chance it might be because you're spending way too much time staring at a dog's asshole.

well thats not scary at all
POSTED: Monday, January 27, 2014, 7:36 PM
LONDON (AP) - Documents leaked by former NSA contactor Edward Snowden suggest that spy agencies have a powerful ally in Angry Birds and a host of other apps installed on smartphones across the globe.
The documents, published Monday by The New York Times, the Guardian, and ProPublica, suggest that the mapping, gaming, and social networking apps which are a common feature of the world's estimated 1 billion smartphones can feed America's National Security Agency and Britain's GCHQ with huge amounts of personal data, including location information and details such as political affiliation or sexual orientation.
The size and scope of the program aren't publicly known, but the reports suggest that U.S. and British intelligence easily get routine access to data generated by apps such as the Angry Birds game franchise or the Google Maps navigation service.
The joint spying program "effectively means that anyone using Google Maps on a smartphone is working in support of a GCHQ system," one 2008 document from the British eavesdropping agency is quoted as saying. Another document - a hand-drawn picture of a smirking fairy conjuring up a tottering pile of papers over a table marked "LEAVE TRAFFIC HERE" - suggests that gathering the data doesn't take much effort.

RIM for a long time was the only thing allowed in defense installations... NSA couldnt get through their encryption for a long fucking time.
This was actually their big claim to fame
im not gonna say how i know this but the fact that the other half makes weapons of mass destruction should give you n idea where I've gotten this info
droid and apple just handed over the reigns with known backdoors..hell built in backdoors as it turns out.
RIM even if they are making death noises for years now is the only company that still continually reinvents its encryption to not be broken into...the nsa keeps getting the info but not with RIMs help
as far as them being the only device allowed on defense installations, thats no longer true and hasn't been for at least 5 years now.
I really liked RIM. Blackberries were much better for professional use than Droid or Apple. I wish they would mount a comeback.

I drowned one on the deck in an overnight downpour
picked that sucker up pouring water out of it the next day....shook it a few times and it booted right up..lol
worked fine.
the one before that was sitting next to a melted in two tv next to it in my house fire...that one I scratched the soot off of it and it booted right up
it took my ins adjuster two weeks to convince me to just replace it..lol
he had a point..it smelled pretty funky
BB actually makes a decent phone now. Also several companies are starting to look into the concept of a more secure phone. Usually these are just customized android. Android can be VERY secure if you know how to set it up. Apple can also be set up to be pretty secure. I'd love and iPhone but I need more of a screen.
Anything said by exerciseordie is for educational purposes only! PERIOD!!!! Don't do illegal shit.

you kidding..iphone worked WITH the nsa for a backdoor...Im sure you can root it and close it up
and I dont trust my driod for security. I didn't before and really don't now.
RIM had a phone they were set to launch this year that I guess was pretty impressive and had a feature to wrap around existing apps...I have no idea what carriers will be carrying it though or if will be an open phone only.
This will only get worse as technology advances. By the time enough people care it will be too late.

Good times, feeling fine, killing time, waiting in line
I love going to Coors Field. I think the staff there is the best in the business. We arrived at Coors Field about 8:40 am to get in line to purchase Rockies tickets. After we arrived we found out that getting there early didn't really matter because the lottery was in effect.
Feeling lucky I reached into a box full of numbered wristbands and pulled out my number for line placment. I pulled line one # 37.
At the time a was a little bummed because I pulled #37 and there were maybe 15 people there waiting with me. No worries though it all worked out good. While we were standing in line a Rockies representative who I later found out is named "Steve", walked up to me and asked if my daughter would be willing to help him with the lottery.
Mylee said sure, she was thrilled to do it. Here's how it worked, there were five lines of people. There were five baseballs in the bucket labeled from 1-5. Mylee's job was to draw the order in which each row was able to get in line for tickets…simple.
The way the Rockies set up it seemed like a system that was designed for a large group of ticket buyers. By the time Mylee started to pick baseballs out of the bucket there were maybe 70 people total in all five rows.
It was cool though, the Rockies were prepared in case of a large turnout and everything went smoothly.
At the end of the second video I you can hear me mention to Mylee to ask for a baseball (hey we're baseball snaggers..that's what we do), I was really just kidding and didn't expect anything but Steve said that he'd hook her up.
Mylee picked line 1 (my line), second. She loved that she was picked to do this over Hunter because Hunter has more baseball stories than her, and this is a good one.
I walked up to Steve and thanked him, then slipped him a Ranter card and told him I'd have blog entry up by Monday.
So in one big long line they marched the whole group of us from the Rockpile Gates over to the main ticket window. As we walked around the building we could see Dinger over by the ticket window waiting for us.
Rockies,….that was a nice touch. Let me explain something about my last blog entry about Dinger. I don't want the dude who's inside Dinger to lose his job. (I'm sure he has little Dingett's somewhere), I just wanted to see (or not see), inside of a tougher looking mascot for the Rockies.
I bet if you asked Dinger's inyards…He'd agree.
Dude inside of Dinger, your cool brotha, thanks for giving my kids lots of attention. They love that…D.
Dinger grabed the control stick of this nice ladies wheelchair and was messing with her. She loved it.
Below is a video of Dinger messing around with a few other people.
While we were killing time waiting to get our tickets, Steve from the lottery walked up to Mylee and presented her with a Rockies backpack. She opened it up and inside was a 2007 League Championship collectible trophy, a MLB baseball, a Rockies hat and a Rockies rally towel.
I couldn't believe it. Steve, thank you again. You didn't have to do all that. In fact you didn't have to do anything.
We're always at the games early for batting practice so we can snag baseballs.
Mylee would have been thrilled if you had just tossed her one of the baseballs in the bucket.
That gift was "above and beyond" and she hasn't stopped talking about it since :)
Seeing that "random act of kindness" from a Rockies employee made me smile and think about how proud I am to spend my time supporting "my team" the Rockies,..on multiple levels.
Steve can you hook it up so I won't get in trouble parking the MBU at Hi Corbett field during the daytime March 24-Feb 3rd?
It's worth a shot. I think I'm ok parking there (we'll be there bright and early), but you never know.
Once they opened the ticket windows the line moved at a pretty good pace. People were purchasing large numbers of tickets, but every ticket window was open so that helped with the flow.
I wasn't there to clean house on tickets. Remember I have a trip to Tucson coming up so that requires a wee bit of cash in itself. I picked up a few extra Rockpile tickets for opening day and the fireworks game pm July 3rd. Then I redeemed a few free game coupons that I had received last season for the kids and I.
End of my story. Sorry if you thought you might hear mention of Tulo or Helton. This story does however have a happy ending. That would be my daughter Mylee's smile.
Only two weeks left the Mobile Blog Unit is officially mobile.

Oops, I was saving my work and didn't realize I had it set to publish..Now, guess I'll leave it as a teaser…D
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I can't stand the suspense.
I thought you said it was a mid 40's guy that was FIT. Steve's coat is covering up his pot belly:)
oh, D, don't leave us hanging! you haven't known me long enough to know that my mind comes up with crazy thoughts when I'm left to ponder things. Right now, my main guesses are A: Helton randomly showed up, and said "Congratulations! You're our lucky fan of the day!" and then gave you season tickets, and, upon your request, an autograph. or B: Tulo randomly showed up, and asked you if you knew anyone named Alex who is a huge Rockies fan and would love to date him, and you mentioned me!
see, I told you! my mind doesn't do well with guessing.
I'm hoping Todd Helton has something to do with it. I know how badly you wanted his auto.

Brewers single game tickets go on sale Feb. 28th here in Milwaukee. I have a 1977 Dodge motorhome I will be parking out in the lot a few nights before (ala the MBU). They call it the "Arctice Tailgate." Pretty sweet, actually. Beer, Brewers and grillin' out. I'll have a big blog about that when it comes.
