I like it, Jo! Makes me want to know all about what happens to the Travellers on their Outing... will all of the story take place in one night? See, now I want to read more.
Oh, BSS, that would rock!! LOL! I already was not giving a raise (salary compensation meeting was last week) so a treasure chest of gold would work out great! Especially if it was enough that I could quit my job and go to grad school to get my MFA in Creative Writing. LOL!At least my fiance has been 100% supportive. He makes sure I get time to write each day and always checks with me that I'm working on my stuff and not goofing off. It's not annoying. He really wants to see me succeed at my dreams. And he thinks this is a first step because it's exercising my writing. He's a wonderful man and I cant wait to call him my husband. Hey, Jo, thanks!! I've been living this experience day-to-day. I dont know if I'm going to finish, but I'll just sit down and start typing and see what happens. It seems easier to focus that way... When I look at the big picture, I freak out.
Uh oh indeed. Sounds disturbingly like a threat... Good thing the prompt was for the literary magazine club for creative writing an not an actual class! But the word thing has gotten me paranoid...Oh, that's what parenthetical remarks are. I'd actually never heard of them before today... you learn something new! Now, here's a question- what do you about using hyphens often, in a similar way of parantheses? My English teacher last year advised me not to use them very much, but as I dislike parantheses and often need to break up thoughts in such a way, I usually use hyphens... Sorry if this is an annoying question, I don't usually talk about writing mechanics.

I lost 22 lbs in 8 months... with a bit of determination and common sense information from this book.
That really got me to thinking about whether or not that was what I wanted. Did I want my child to know that I was his mom and know that I would meet all his needs? Did I think it was normal and natural for a child to be attached to his mother? Did I think that the attachment my son got through my breastfeeding him was beneficial to him? And what about the alternative...a non-attached child who was formula fed?
I bet you can guess how I answered those questions....
Anyway, my point is that I realized that I wasn't ok with minimizing my attachment with my child and giving up the benefits of breastfeeding so that a dcp could actually take my place and attach to them instead. I mean, I wanted my son to love and trust his dcp, but I wasn't about to sacrifice my place for theirs iykwim, and I didn't think that it was right to give up a part of our relationship for that to happen, even though that's what one dcp thought should happen.
Needless to say, we switched dcps to a wonderful one, and I ended up being a sahm after that.
My opinion, is that a daycare provider has no right asking you to give up a part of your relationship with your child so that she can step in and take your place. That's how I view a request for me to stop bfing my child in that situation. A daycare provider should instead, be trying to cultivate her own relationship with the child, just like a trusted friend of the family, or aunt or grandma does. Friends and family spend time with the child, they care for them, pay special attention to them, play with them, and in doing so, develop their own unique relationship with the child that is not the same as the mom's relationship with the child. That's what I expect from a dcp, but sometimes that takes some work.
I'd suggest you find other care if your dcp doesn't want to put forth the necessary work in truly bonding with your child. Your relationship with your child won't interfere with them bonding with your child.

As a daycare provider, I can tell you that breastfeeding may not have anything to do with it at all. I have only had one baby ever who was breastfed, but I have several formula fed babies and toddlers who cried all day and had a difficult time adjusting. A good daycare provider will work with you and your child to find the best way possible to soothe your baby and make the transition easier for all involved.
Don't let someone's credentials on the wall determine what is best for your baby.

Well - I've found that continuing to breastfeed has been an important part of reconnecting with my DS at the end of the day. Breastfeeding is about so much more than nutrition, its also about bonding and closeness. My DS asks for "mommy milk" as soon as we get home, and for him its a way to be close to mommy and get lots of love and snuggles after being apart for several hours.

I'm also in Winnipeg right now, so I now what you're talking about with the daycare crunch. There are definitely daycares out there that are supportive of continuing to breastfeed. I sometimes sit in the big chair in the infant room and nurse my 21 month old, and they are very supportive, sometimes suggesting it if DS is asking to nurse.
If you think this place is good in other ways, I would just tell her that you appreciate her advice, but you're convinced that continuing to nurse him is in his best interest. Maybe show some of the literature that others have posted already. Good luck.

My DD just turned two on 8/11, and we are starting now to wean.
My DH and I really really want to have another baby, and it's just not happening. DD was nursing easily 10-20 times a day (mostly out of boredom/habit, such as when I am reading to her). We are hoping that scaling back will prompt ovulation.
I'm really happy that we made it past the 2 year mark! I pretty much had it in mind that I wanted to wean at some point in the third year, so this is good. It keeps making me feel alternately sad and happy to think of.
So far (we started yesterday), it's been easier than I expected. She seems very accepting nearly every time I tell her she can't nurse right now ("It's not time for milk.. it's time for ---a book, lunch, playing with blocks, etc"). I am still nursing her at bedtime, naptime, and first thing in the morning... those are the only nursing sessions we did today. I am not going to abruptly stop those ones. It's the ONLY way to get her a nap, and she wakes up earlier than I want to get up... so the morning one is staying a while.
Just wanted to get it out there to the ladies that "get it"!

Thanksgiving for Mushrooms!We're never going to spot a Wild Turkey in the North Campus, but I still wanted to post something related to the Thanksgiving holiday this week. Ah ha! Mushrooms, I thought. Not the Campbell's soup kind, but real honest-to-goodness wild mushrooms—like the ones that are popping up all over L.A. after our recent autumnal rains.
In preparation for this blog post I went out searching for mushrooms in the North Campus. What I found was this:
Unidentified little brown mushroom (LBM)
Not being a mycologist, I had no idea what this small non-descript brown mushroom was, so I took it to the experts. Last night, the L.A. Mycological Society (LAMS) held their monthly meeting at the Museum. The meeting is a place for all things fungi—there's a lecture (last night...

RUSH: Chris, Portage, Indiana, great to have you, sir, on the EIB Network. Welcome.
CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush. Congratulations on your marriage, by the way.
RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. Appreciate that.
CALLER: I was calling in regards to the nuclear rods in Iran. The Russians were supposed to put them in on the 21st of this month.
RUSH: That's right.
CALLER: And what do we do now? 'Cause Iran now has an active nuclear plant.
RUSH: Too late now. Now, here's the story in this. Supposedly John Bolton said that the Israelis had whatever was the number of days prior to the 21st, 'til the 21st to take it out. Once they put the rods in there, you can't really hit the plant because of all the fallout that would happen. After that, US intelligence agencies told the Israelis, no, no, no, no, no, no, you got about a year here. We have about a year before they're nuclear capable and so forth. Remember, these are the same people that gave us this faulty intelligence report some years ago saying that there was no nuke plan that the Iranians had. It is clear to me -- I think it has to be clear to all of us -- that the world has decided the Iranians having nukes is no big deal. It wasn't worth trying to stop. We made some half-baked attempts via sanctions and so forth, but nobody cared. Nobody cared enough to stop it.
A lot of people were worried that if they did something to stop it it would make the Russians mad, didn't want to do that. So it is what it is. And if we're to believe what we're told, that the rods have gone in and they're now creating nuclear power. Not yet plutonium for weaponry, but that's down the road. It's only a matter of time. Other reports say they've got enough plutonium for one or two bombs now. So it sounds like from what we're being told publicly nobody really knows. I'm sure there's intel out there, somebody knows what's really going on. But there's always more going on with these kinds of things than we will ever know. So drawing some kind of conclusion from it is risky at best, but if they're nuclear, if the rods have been inserted, so to speak, then the conclusion is that the world didn't think it was that big a problem. We'll see.

- Abstract
- The cold spray process was used to prepare nanostructured WC-Co coatings. The coating microstructural characteristics and phase composition were analyzed via optical microscopy, SEM and XRD. The morphology and microstructure of the nanostructured WC-Co powder were also analyzed by SEM and XRD. A 10 μm thick coating was achieved. The results show that there is no degradation of the WC-Co powder during the cold spray process and well-bonded and phase-pure WC coating can be produced by the cold spray process.

Specifically, how do you handle the last feeding at night and the first in the morning? For example, I gave my left breast at 6pm and the right one at 8pm and put the baby down. Now I don't have a feeding until 4am which means that the left one will go 10 hours? By 7 or 8 hours I'm in horrible pain, which is why I typically wake DS at 4am for a feeding. God knows how long he'd sleep otherwise.
So do I do my best to suffer through the 10 hours on one breast or do I do both breasts for the final feeding? Also, should that last 8pm feeding be the same breast every day? I have the same questions about the 4am and 7/8am feedings.
And yes, DH is on his way to buy cabbage right now. The fool is looking forward to it. I think the combination of boobies and cabbage must be every Polish man's dream.
TIA for any help. I really do appreciate the help and support I get here.

On Tuesday May 15, NRPA assembled a group of 28 park and recreation agencies from around the nation – grantees of its 2012 Serving Communities program – to address children's hunger and obesity, and how they are combating both through summer meal programs. The NRPA Serving Communities program, now in its third year and with support from the Walmart Foundation and Kansas Health Foundation, provides grants to park and recreation agencies to expand summer and afterschool feeding programs.
Serving 560 million meals to children each year, parks and recreation is the largest public provider of healthy meals to children during out-of-school times. However, when looking at summer alone, only 20 percent of eligible children are participating in meal programs.
The question of the day; How to reach the 15 million low-income children who could, and perhaps should, be benefiting from healthy meals during summer – but aren't?
The day-long peer exchange included representatives from USDA Food and Nutrition Services, the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC), and OrganWise Guys Inc.
Through break-out groups and roundtable discussions, participants focused on four key areas:
• Increasing the number of children participating in summer feeding programs• Resolving meal-specific challenges• Expanding the number of feeding sites• Incorporating additional enrichment into feeding programs such as nutritional education
At the end of the day emerged a number of key practices that collectively address the most significant barriers to reaching more children with healthy meals each summer. These key practices will be combined with those resulting from a similar gathering in Kansas to help guide the efforts of the 2012 Serving Communities grantees.
Stay tuned for future posts highlighting how the 2012 Serving Communities grantees are making a real difference in reducing children's hunger and obesity in their communities.
By the way…did you know some agencies serve chocolate milk because kids will drink it at warmer temperatures (still within health regulations) than plain milk? This sure beats throwing milk away. Does your agency take any creative approaches to feeding hungry kids?

The Filibuster
Michael Phelps and a few other American athletes have voluntarily
submitted to a higher level of drug testing in an attempt to head off
any questions about their impressive victories. If the US Olympic team
can do this, why hasn't baseball taken similar steps to get rid of the
drug stigma surrounding the game today?
— Allen
In a way, Major League Baseball, behind the leadership of Bud Selig and an overwhelmingly grumpy push from the US Government, has taken similar steps to get rid of the drug stigma, Mr. Krause. I'm not sure if you heard about it this past winter, but the Mitchell Report made quite a stir all over the baseball cosmos, and got a great number of ballplayers thinking "Hey, maybe I shouldn't put this crap in my body anymore."
While the drug screening program in baseball is still somewhat lax and random in its procedure, it is still light years better than what it was (non-existent) and does an adequate job by simply scaring people into doing the right thing. This is progress that at one time seemed improbable. Why? Because the don't-ask-don't-tell secret of performance enhancing drugs was bringing people to the ballpark. Whether it was the greenies of the 70s or the HGH of the 90s, fans were coming out to games in droves to witness the high octane occurrence of homeruns and 100 mph fastballs. You've said it here a million times, Mr. Krause, money is what makes the world go round and if shooting up brings it in then so be it.
Unfortunately, we US Americans sometimes have a conscious; and that's the only reason why this phase has transitioned to a foreseeable end.
Are players still using PEDs? Probably. Are they using them as much as they used to? No. Not at all. Need proof? How about Richie Sexson, Eric Gagne, Paul Lo Duca just for starters. These guys are mere shadows of what they used to be while on the juice; because of that, I'm convinced that the biggest proverbial battles have already been fought and won.
Could more be done to ensure the sanctity of the game? Probably.
Will a more stringent array of tests similar to those of Olympians Michael Phelps and Dara Torres (both voluntarily) ever be instituted in Major League Baseball? I doubt it.
And here's why: Player's Union, Agents, Club Owners, the Players themselves. Try to get anything past these guys that could theoretically threaten profits and you'll quickly realize you're dealing with a much higher power than voluntary amateur athletes who compete for a friggin' medal that everyone will forget about two months from now.
The difference between asking Michael Phelps to take a rigorous amount of drug tests to prove his purity and asking Manny Ramirez to do the same can be summed up in two words: Scott Boras.
Boras, evil incarnate, who single-handedly changed sports forever, will hunt down your children, cut off their heads and sell them to Colombian witchdoctors if it means he'll get 10%. I guarantee you, if Boras represented Phelps (which would never happen whilst Phelps maintains amateur status), Andrea Kramer would be lucky if Phelps even acknowledged her existence after winning 8 gold medals.
Money. Money money money money money. Money. Money money money money. Money. Money money MONEY!
Of course, public relations and digesting the fact that hardworking US Americans actually do want to be assured that their national pastime isn't being abused both factor into MLB's stricter regulations; but MLB and its myriad components, from the owners to the players to Joe Blow who spent $48.50 of his paycheck to sit in the upper deck, will continue to do whatever they have to to straddle the precarious line between profit and purity.
It hasn't been perfected in politics (see Bill Clinton, the Kennedy's, John Edwards) yet, so it's no surprise that baseball hasn't a clue either.
I'm just glad that I can go to sleep at night knowing that I am PED free. A bulging forehead, weak libido and distending testicles wouldn't be good for my image.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
7 Comments
It gives my city college ego a boost to be able to correct the Fulbright scholar on a small point—-PEDs actually increase the libido—-the forehead ain't the only thing that'd be bulging Smilin' Bob; you'd bring new meaning to the term "October Gonzo"; the other side effects are accurate.
The pic of bodybuilder Markus Ruhl made me laugh out loud. The guy could hit the ball a mile if he were flexible enough to move his arms far enough to swing a bat (or to perform even the most elementary bathroom requirements—-talk about a compact swing). That made me think of Joe and Ben Weider trying desperately to make bodybuilding an Olympic sport; it's not that absurd an idea considering some of the other sports that have entered the Olympics, but they're as complicit and insistent as MLB was with their feigned ignorance during the PED scandals, but are still trying to portray professional bodybuilding as a healthy endeavor when it's anything but. They're not much further from reality than baseball was during the steroid era.
After further research into the side effects of PEDs, I must admit that you're right, Prince; however, research also shows that I have a point as well. For example, Barry Bonds' excessive use cause him to be a complete a-hole to the public. Apparently, his wife was turned off by this and thus refused her services to him which in turn caused Barry to not care anymore himself. Of course, I'm making this all up but in my head it's all possible, which in the end, makes me feel better😉 If trampoline is a sport, then why not bodybuilding? Baseball wasn't an Olympic sport until '96, so why not?
Was Sexson named in the Mitchell Report? I know this is a lame comment for such a great post, but I don't know.
Neal, consider my free association with Sexson and the Mitchell Report to be pure conjecture at this point. However, it's the only excuse I can think of as to why he went from dominate all-star caliber to a nothing in the matter of two years. Of course, he's been given new life with the Yanks… but he is still a fragment of what he used to be.
They smothered the new life on Friday when they cut him. Everything all right, Jeff? You seem a little out of sorts.
Ha, yeah, a bit out of sorts, Prince. I went back home to Springfield this weekend and was away from baseball while wrangling horses (which is what I do when I want to go back to my rural roots). Well, let's just say one of the horses I was riding didn't like me too much and threw me. I had on my riding helmet, but it still hurt and for a while I thought I was on that "Outrageous Sports" show they play late at night on SPIKE TV — you know, the one where they show a guy like me getting hurt over and over and over again with the lame comedic commentary. Is Reagan still in office?
That's not making me feel better about my fiancee's horseriding. Maybe the nucular power plant is affecting the horses just as it affects those three-eyed fish. Blame Mr. Burns.

DSM Kabuto > Sasuke

However even though a sasuke fan im extremely tied in what i can say in his favour. Reason for people going for kabuto without hesitating is because sasuke performed poorly in that fight. However sasuke's fighting style has NEVER been fighting to capture and the manga shouldve made that clear. During his mission with itachi i believe the mission was to capture the pig and sasuke accidentally killed it. Similarly he wasnt too convincing against kill bee and in the end used amaterasu, a technique that shouldnt be used if you plan on capturing your opponent. To put it simple sasuke isnt disciplined in that art and that is why he didnt look convincing. However id agree that kabuto would still be favourite however this isnt always true.
Sasuke has amaterasu a technique that will come to his aid if needed. We saw that kabuto retreated when sasuke used amaterasu and molded it into enton kagutsuchi to protect himself and itachi and kabuto commented not only on amaterasu's offensive capabilities but also its defensive capabilities. Now kabuto has shown his sensoring skills but also ability to shed his skin. However if sasuke was to spam/control and make amaterasu spread throughout the whole cave with amaterasu kabuto would surely be troubled. Firstly sasuke gains the advantage because its his technique and its him who is in control of it, he has turned the environment into his advantage. Secondly muki tensei that was nullified by amaterasu's heat which again would go against kabuto.
Finally ill let you in on a secret about sound based genjutsu. Majority believe its unavoidable because its sound based, however the manga disagrees. Sound based genjutsu travel through the air. If the ninja can potentially disrupt the air around them they could potentially nullify this technique because they are basically disrupting what is carrying the genjutsu from the user to the opponent, air. Temari showed us an example of this when she countered tayuya's Mateki Mugen Onsa with her fan,
As shikamaru said "That thing can deflect the sound of the flute......"
Just as I said at the beginning of this thread we can't say for sure
Okay now, but arguing for Kabuto,
Sage mode increases all jutsu as we know, he becomes faster stronger, better at genjutsu, and ninjutsu, Kabuto has new sage jutsu which are always powerful attacks
Snake eyelids can block any genjutsu,
Can try to avoid amaterasu using cave altering chakra techniques, plus if hit I don't see why he couldn't shed... old skin burns, new kabuto is unscathed...
I understand that Sasuke was holding back, I am not denying that, but for the most part Kabuto was going for itachi... plus itachi was pretty much the only one that landed good blows on kabuto
Originally Posted by Memoria

Sasuke can make Amaterasu spread throughout the whole cave, but you know Kabuto can use that to his advantage by using Muki Tensei, he can manipulate parts of the terrain and make it attack Sasuke, or he can just open a safe path by using Doroku Gaeshi.
Also he can body shed if by any chance Amaterasu hits him, so I think you should give that one to Kabuto, he has counters for every attack Sasuke has at the moment.
Anyway, I'd like to know your opinion about this fight honestly, Who do you think would win between the two?
Aw come on, thanks for the rep id ill return it however if i dont contribute to nb threads anymore. I just talk to people via pm/vm then leave. Why must i reply to you . I will though
Amaterasu's heat caused muki tensei to be ineffective, if kabuto was to use it after sasuke had used amaterasu, it wouldnt prove effective at all. "The heat also made the cave go back to its original shape";
Possibly meaning if amaterasu was used before this technique, it will either restrict completely the technique or wouldnt be as effective against the heat that amaterasu produces
Doroku gaeshi sasuke could potentially restrict this technique. Arguable the best raiton user and we all know raiton > doton. Gaeshi is a c rank doton technique, though kabtuo's has been given a boost due to sm. However still sasuke holds the advantage against this technique and if he runs his lighting based attack through the earth, it could possible harm the ability for this technique to surface. He has already shown the ability to use his raiton through the earth, either by channeling his raiton through his sword and peircing the earth with it or using chidori nagashi on the earth;
I know when sasuke used this strategy against itachi it was in a genjutsu duel however it can be achieved and if he does, its very possible that because raiton > doton, it could nullify geashi
To answer your question, kabuto would win this match up majority of the times

holllllllll up this is assuming kabuto could not summon any more edos. rmbr sasuke beat diedara. now are you telling me kabuto is stronger than diedara?
f*ck yes, kabuto is hella lot stronger than deidara.....he's OP and he would rape almost everyone in narutoverse....almost....
Kabuto would have won...

That right there tells me that Sasuke could've beaten Kabuto.
Sasuke would have killed Kabuto, and the edo army would still be roaming around

May i remind you that both Sasuke AND Itachi were holding back because they didn't want to kill Kabuto before releasing the Reanimation Jutsu?

Im 100% sure sasuke would have killed him an edo tensei would keep going, or taka would have came to his rescue

Itachi was the only one who knew what everyone was dealing with. He also tells Sasuke to watch it and not kill Kabuto. Never did Itachi tell Sasuke he's in trouble. He could've handled Kabuto by himself, at a high cost though.

lol quote the manga that sasuke would lose ?
One of the main charcaters would die in the hands of a fodder that is wondering why he can't escape izanami :rofl:
lol u used logic to cut the manga scan ?
why didn't you post the whole scan ?
most people seem to understand here that kabuto would win pretty easily. i don't like to see others saying "sasuke would have won if he was fighting to kill." you guys do understand that kabuto was also fighting without the intent to kill sasuke....yes?

Ford Atlas Concept Previews More Efficient Next Generation F-150
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
Its fuel-saving technologies will save over 2 MPG on the highway
Ford today announced the Atlas Concept, which features next-generation EcoBoost technology. The Atlas Concept has an EcoBoost powertrain that uses gasoline direct injection turbocharging. This allows for a 20 percent increase in fuel economy and a 15 percent drop in CO2 emissions. The powertrain also features Auto Start-Stop engine shutoff tech, which (as the name suggests), shuts off the engine when the vehicle is stopped in traffic.
The Atlas Concept also looks to save fuel in other ways, such as the Active Grille Shutters that stay open when cooling is needed; Active Wheel Shutters that close at highway speeds to improve aerodynamics but open at slow speeds; Drop-Down Front Air Dam that lowers at highway speeds for underbody airflow, and Power Running Boards that help passengers enter the truck at rest and move closer to the vehicle when it's traveling for improved aerodynamics.
Using all of these fuel-saving technologies saves roughly 2 MPG on the highway.
In addition to fuel-saving efforts, Ford showed off some other tech that the Atlas is sporting. Some include the 360-Degree Point-of-View Camera for fitting the vehicle in tight places, Dynamic Hitch Assist for an accurate fitting of a hitch using the Atlas' display screen, and LED headlamps and tail lamps for better illumination.
"We wanted the concept to reflect how Ford trucks help customers in both their worlds – professionally and personally," said J Mays, Ford group vice president and chief creative officer. "Every surface and feature in the vehicle has been crafted for purpose and capability while retaining an unmistakable Built Ford Tough look."
Last year, it was reported that the F-150 would
shed 700 lbs
to meet the EPA's Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. These standards stipulate that auto manufacturers meet a
fleetwide 54.5 mpg CAFE average
by 2025.
The weight savings come from using the lightweight metal aluminum throughout the vehicle, such as the doors, cargo box, fenders, front suspension/steering components, and portions of the interior structure.
"Spreading the rumors, it's very easy because the people who write about Apple want that story, and you can claim its credible because you spoke to someone at Apple." -- Investment guru Jim Cramer

Ryan Fitzpatrick sees Titans as new start after Bills
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ryan Fitzpatrick says he saw the writing on the wall in Buffalo and is embracing his new role with the Titans.
The quarterback said Monday he knew it was likely his days as the Bills' starter was over when head coach Chan Gailey was fired after last season.
So when Buffalo released him at the start of free agency, Fitzpatrick took advantage of the NFL owners meetings near his Phoenix-area home last week to meet with prospective suitors.
Fitzpatrick met with Titans coach Mike Munchak and general manager Ruston Webster who needed a backup quarterback after being unable to renegotiate Matt Hasselbeck's contract.
Fitzpatrick says it was a nice to meet with team officials and fell wanted again — and he did it without having to get on an airplane.

Pettus is far from dead. It still boasts a few businesses, including a convenience store, Dairy Queen and its own school district.
The town started life as a small settlement in the 1850s. But it wasn't until the discovery of oil there in 1929 that the town truly began to grow.
When oil prices dropped, many people left, and populations dropped from well over a thousand to only a few hundred.
However, something is stirring in this community, and the new American Electric Power substation and electric lines could be the spark that ignites it.
"Any time a company is going to spend the kind of money and time to bring this kind of power in, it means good things for the county," Commissioner Dennis DeWitt said during a recent meeting of county leaders. "It is my understanding that this is coming in to energize those natural gas processing plants west of Pettus.
"This could spur some other industries to come in that need this power."
According to information from Power Engineers, AEP is hoping to build a new double circuit transmission from the Kenedy switching station to a new substation just south of Pettus.
"This new transmission line could involve the rebuild of a large section of the existing Kenedy switching station to Pettus single-circuit 69 kV transmission line to a double circuit 138 kV capable transmission line," according to a letter presented to county leaders last week.
During that same meeting, County Judge David Silva implied that this area was underpowered by the current infrastructure.
"The Midstream Plant that is going in there now had to bring in two or three generators."
The current power lines, he said, couldn't provide the juice they needed for the plant.
In the beginning
Pettus started life as Dry Medio in the 1850s. The town's name was changed to Pettus City after the Civil War in honor of John F. Pettus, one of the most prominent of the area's early settlers.
Cattle and sheep were the dominant livestock. However, in the late '20s things changed when oil was discovered.
In the midst of the Great Depression, oil boom towns like Pettus offered hope for many.
"It was like the gold rush," DeWitt said.
Thousands of people poured into the town, he said. Many, according to historical records, were living any place they could — under shade trees, in barns and even in tents.
While it is unlikely that this many people will be sleeping in tents and under trees, it is likely that the oil boom could spark a resurgence in this small community.
"Pettus has potential," said DeWitt, whose father worked in the oil field. "It is a hub of oil and gas lines."
A town's growth
Justice of the Peace Judge Ted Staples is one of those excited to see the resurgence of this town.
"People are wanting to see it come back," he said. "I would love to see it come back."
Even now, as many county leaders point out, the area oil and gas boom has offered this county shelter from the nation's economic downturn.
"We don't realize how fortunate we are with the economic boom going on right now," he said.
With pipelines, rights of way and easements already in place, Pettus could see another growth explosion.
Oil companies tend to locate lines near existing rights of way and easements. Even the cryogenic plants, DeWitt said, were built near the old Houston Natural Gas plant.
Staples is amazed at the growth he has already seen in the town.
"Right now, it's like what happened in '36," he said.
Years ago, he said, the town sustained not only a drug store and lumber yard, but several cafes and grocery stores.
"People of all walks of life are coming in here," he said. He sees oil field employees from across the country coming to the town to work — and at least some, to live in the RV parks that dot the area.
Not all good
With the good comes the bad though.
Being the justice of the peace for the area, Staples also sees the number of speeding tickets triple because of the growth — something not seen during the prior booms.
"We didn't have all the traffic back in the old days," he said "I don't want to see all that traffic. I drive on the shoulder more than I do on the main road."
In the past 76 years, Staples has seen both the growth of this town and its decline.
"I never dreamed I would see something like this again," he said.
This community's future is far from written.
"All we can do is speculate," DeWitt said.

Companies are increasingly making peripherals for the tablet market that make gaming much easier, more intuitive and just plain fun. (Without them, most games on tablets that try to mimic the console experience don't succeed.)
I've recently tested a game controller and a pinball simulator—reviews posting soon. This, however, is the first one I've seen that attempts to actually turn your iPad into… well, a wheel.
All three versions of the TAB360 will be available online and in store (Amazon.com, Newegg.com, etc.) this Thanksgiving. The standard versions will retail for $59.99 while the one with the Bluetooth speakers will retail for $79.99.

Fly Differ
I got a question I don't know the difference between a dry fly and the other kind. I hear alot of dry fly and I can't tell the difference, You know a wooly buger and a nymph. I would like to know the difference since I'm going to start tying soon. Also why do you have to use them a different way in the water. I'm lost. So.................. uh I guess thats all I need to know for now. Thanks.
My Motto: Nature cannot beat Man, but Man cannot beat nature.
Re: Fly Differ
Flies can be divided into all kinds of categories dry flies, wet flies, nymphs, streamers, emergers, etc. Dry flies are normally tied with hackle that has stiff barbules, and are designed to be fished on the surface. Wet flies are designed to be fished beneath the surface. Wet flies normally have soft hackle with swept back wings or can be wingless. Nymphs are also subsurface flies that are tied without using any hackle and streamers are subsurface flies designed to imitate a baitfish. A wooly bugger is a crossover fly because it can be fished on a dead drift like a nymph or cast and retrieved or swung like a streamer.
You don't really need to use each one in a different way. You do what works best for you. The primary ways to cast in a stream are up and across and let the fly drift towards in a natural manner (dead drift), straight across and stripped in, or down and across and allow the current to swing the fly (at times this method can be deadly).
The nice thing about flyfishing is that there are no real hard and fast rules. Read some books or watch a few videos on the sport and then try it 'til reach the point where you feel comfortable with your fishing ability. Then you can experiment and come with your own style. What you need to do is go out fishing and try all these methods out.
Another thing I should mention when you're just starting out try and find a mentor (a more experienced fishing buddy) to learn from. He'll probably learn from you.
Good luck and don't be intmidated

High Resolution Gas Chromatography (HRGC): Capillary Column Development. Analytical Methods Development.
Environmental Chemistry: Methods Development. Sampling and Testing local areas.
Analytical Chemistry involves the separation and analysis of chemical substances to determine both what is present in a sample, and how much. As advances and refinements are made in instrumentation our ability to detect and measure smaller and smaller quantities of a specific substance continually increases. This aspect of analytical chemistry is very important, especially in environmental analyses, where the presence of extremely small amounts of substances like heavy metals, mercury, PCBs, Dioxins, and other organic substances can be very harmful to human health and safety. Most of us are aware that a multitude of pollutants may endanger our land, water, and air. These materials have not just suddenly appeared in the last few years. Many of them have been around for a long time, but in such small amounts that it is not until recently that we have been able to separate, detect, and measure them quantitatively.
My research interests in analytical and environmental chemistry are in two areas, the development of high resolution chromatographic columns and analytical methods, and the application of analytical techniques such as chromatography and atomic absorption spectroscopy in analyzing samples of environmental interest.
In High Resolution Capillary Column Gas Chromatography my research involves the development of instrumentation, and methods to provide, better, faster, and more accurate determination of trace amounts of substances in chemically complex mixtures. Capillary column gas chromatography is especially effective in separating and measuring small amounts of complex organic mixtures such as are often present in environmental samples. The group of compounds we call PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls ) for instance is a mixture of 209 closely related chemical compounds. It is important to be able not only to measure the total amount of PCB present but also the amount of each PCB congener, since some are hundreds or even thousands of times more toxic than others. The same is true for other compounds such as the dioxins. One of these dioxins, 2,3,7,8 TCDD is the most toxic chemical known to man. Developing instrumentation and methods to be able to separate, identify, and quantify trace amounts of such materials has obvious benefits and is the impetus for my work in this area.
In the application of analytical chemistry for environmental analysis we are using the techniques of chromatography, atomic absorption spectroscopy and others to profile and analyze for the presence of potentially dangerous or harmful materials in our local area. Some of these projects have been carried out in collaboration with faculty in the Geography Department.

I posted a while back that when ds goes to latch on his tongue is retracted. I met with IBCLC's and they suggested allowing him to self-latch and sucking exercises - none of which worked. Also had him looked at by pediatricians, none noticed anything out of the ordinary, I'm learning many are not very knowledgable in this area unless it's the classic tongue-tie.
Anyways we met with an ENT last week and he told us ds has a very tight/thick upper lip frenulum (no wonder it never flanged out) and a slight tongue tie. He was willing to clip them right then but wanted to put ds under general anethesia, DH and I felt a little uncomfortable about so we decided to wait.
I contacted a IBCLC and she recommended an ENT a little further away who specializes in pediatrics. We met with him today and he was wonderful! Basically said the same thing as the other Dr. - tight upper frenulum and the base of the tongue is thicker than normal and needs to be clipped. DS will have to be put under general anethesia which concerns me but I feel much more comfortable with it. The first ENT basically said "we just give him a little gas". This Dr. went over everything with us and was great with our lo. I'm so glad we decided to wait and were able to find someone we are comfortable with.
His surgery is scheduled in 2 weeks. I wish it was sooner but that's when our new insurance begins. I wish this was identified sooner...I suppose I should have been more persistant. I did visit several lc's and even tried cranio-sacrel therapy. In the beginning I was told numerous times that some babies take longer to figure it out and to just keep trying. Hmmm....5 months of trying! I am so glad I didn't give up, if I did we'd be dealing with other issues down the road.
I'm nervous the day of the surgery. We have to be there at 6:30am and it's scheduled for 7:30am. However, he can't nurse past 3am...I'm going to have one unhappy baby! He's never had a pacifier but maybe I should introduce one? Any other ideas? It's not a real long time but it breaks my heart to think he'll be hungry and want me and I can't nurse him.
This is much longer than anticipated, just needed to share! Hopefully in a few weeks we'll be nursing comfortable!!!

The guys had a rough start but i'm really enjoying our trade now! :d
If anything...Pierce, Hibbert, STAT wasn't enough value for me
Though, I basically ended up flipping Hib for Parker which then got me Ibaka.
And STAT ended up helping me net Love and my deal with 8's...
The guys had a rough start but i'm really enjoying our trade now! :d
Does anyone in this league actually need good PG's?
Anyone check out the latest trade deal? Between Metro/Coquis and....
FWIW, I voted against the deal in veto.
I see it as a rape, almost player for player.
Whoa Whoa Whoa, Stop the clock!
DatPRINCE is alive? WTF? making a deal the week he plays Coquis?
something does not smell right in fantasyland!
I'll check it out now.
alright i checked it out, really not cool for DaTPRINCE to be doing anything
at this point; Metro's giving up Kobe, but he's getting 3 solid players in
return. seems unfair. i vetoed on the negatory.

funny pic
how does DaTPRINCE show up on fantasy basketball, but hasn't been on KOL
since Jan 10th? does Metro have a hotline?
yea the metro - datprince deal is bs.
like seriously are u that desperate that you nd to trade players w a dude who hasn't been active all of this time.. and wont be??
youre better than that metro
.. maybe not

February 2007 Simple & Delicious Plus
Short & Sweet Desserts
When you're in a pinch to "wow" your guests with a delicious dessert, these quick recipes all have 5 ingredients or less. That makes it easy to check your pantry for everyday items to pull together something sweet.
Refreshing pineapple bits add tropical flair to this fluffy dessert from Ozela Haynes of Emerson, Arkansas. Fluffy Pineapple Pie is very light, and it isn't overly sweet. Plus it's a cinch to make!
A co-worker brought Nutty Peach Crisp to work, and Nancy Carpenter of Sidney, Montana couldn't resist asking for the recipe. A moist bottom layer made with canned peaches and a boxed cake mix is covered with a lovely golden topping of coconut and pecans. This easy, delicious dessert tastes wonderful served warm with ice cream.
Laurie Knoke of DeKalb, Illinois enjoyed some rich, buttery cookies at a bed-and-breakfast in Galena, Illinois. The hostess was kind enough to share her simple recipe for Scandinavian Pecan Cookies. The pretty nut-topped treats are so special you could give a home-baked batch as a gift.
Chocolate Berry Parfaits is a creamy dessert that's easy to make for weekday dinners, yet pretty enough for company. Lynn McAllister of Mt. Ulla, North Carolina layers instant chocolate pudding with a mixture of pureed strawberries and whipped cream to create yummy parfaits. For quicker results, use whipped topping rather than whipping cream…or serve in a single bowl.
A touch of sweet white wine and citrus makes this lovely Pear Sorbet so refreshing. You can use canned pears when fresh ones aren't available. Deirdre Dee Cox of Milwaukee, Wisconsin also recommends substituting lime juice for lemon.

-sits in an open field awaiting the arrival of beetlejuice-
Last edited by drxdroopy; 10-06-2012 at 07:34 AM.
I'd like to begin with you telling me everything you know about Kenjutsu, if anything.
Well, first off kenjustu means "sword technique". It is the art of using a sword(s). It is beautiful in sight and deadly in form and contact. One could take months to learn the art. It can be used with any type such as taijutsu and with ninjutsu. Thr use of a sword lengthens your initial reach as well. This is all i can think of right now.
That is why you teach me in the art sensei.
All true indeed, however, Although many people have their own opinions on what Kenjutsu actually is, a Universal truth remains; Kenjutsu is the art of the Sword. If you do not respect the blade, you are not fit to wield one. Many people misunderstand the sword as being nothing more than a tool of war, but to a swordsman, it is like an extension of his soul, and a means of protection.
Questions? Comments?
Yes my apologies for the time lapse sensei. I was wondering if we could continue?

It's the best time in the world to be a millennial man, to hear baby boomers tell it—let your parents or your girlfriend pay the rent, maybe start a useless tech company, watch marketers trip over themselves trying to reach you. But talk to guys in this highly desirable demo yourself and you might discover a disenfranchised group with little disposable income, a love of niche culture and an upbeat outlook that belies the economic hand they've been dealt (two-seven offsuit). They're not opposed to advertising, but they also love being obscure—it's the first generation that would starve trying to order a pizza (or deciding where to order a pizza from). Not your dream clientele? Well, get used to them—they're the biggest generation in history, and if you can't reach them, somebody else will.
First, a few statistics on U.S. millennials, or Gen Y, or Those Damned Kids, depending on who you ask: Collectively, they carry $1 trillion in student loans. Only 62 percent of them have jobs, and only half of those work full-time. Median net worth among people under 35 has decreased by more than a third since 2005. Barely one-quarter of the men have bachelors' degrees, despite all that college debt (many didn't finish). More than one-third live at home with their parents—double the number from the previous generation.
Jonathan, a bartender, is 28. He lives in a small town in the mountains of North Carolina—not with his parents but with several roommates—and works at a wine shop since being laid off from his bartending gig, which he loved, earlier this year.
"I do not have cable," says Jonathan. "Never have, actually. We have Netflix, we have Hulu, and we have an Apple TV that combines those." What does he use them for? "I like long-format television shows—Mad Men, House of Cards, Boardwalk Empire." But how does he get Boardwalk Empire without cable? (Do you have to ask?) "Uhh, it's pirated," he says, embarrassed. "I'm so stupid about technology now, so unless it's recording equipment I don't know how to use it. I just get my roommate to download it for me." The rest, he emphasizes, is "mostly rented. I'm pretty fiercely loyal to my local video shop as well. I rent The Newsroom from them, rent the other HBO shows and stuff."
Jonathan and many like him do not generally mind being marketed to, contrary to popular belief. It's not a question of principle—it just sometimes seems unnecessary. "I use Netflix basically for TV shows and stuff like that, so I don't have to look at commercials and it's not edited," says Steve, an itinerant DJ who's been on what he calls "an eight-month freedom journey across the country." Neither he nor Jonathan has health insurance. One of the men interviewed here uses food stamps. Another works for a company in a big city that pays him half the industry average for his job.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. One guy has an Ivy League education, another works for an entertainment conglomerate, a few have studied under top professionals in their fields. They've just had a hard time finding good jobs. The reality is, these anti-millennials are coming of age during a historic moment when the gap between productivity and real hourly compensation has never been wider, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Put plainly, those who can find jobs are doing more work—a lot more work—for far less money.
All pride themselves on being outliers, on having really nerdy, wonky interests that they know everything about—but which don't really have that much in common with the gen pop. "I platinumed Warhawk," says Steve proudly, "which is the No. 1 hardest game on the Sony [PS3] to platinum." (It's hard, incidentally, to "platinum" any game—that is, to get every last one of the cleverly named virtual trophies for performing a stunt.)
There's a perception among advertisers that millennials are "digital to the core," as one exec puts it. That's not actually the whole story—they're also thrifty to the core. They have to be. Steve, 31, has a hard time paying the bills and only watches cable when he's at a friend's house. He does love the movies, though. "I like anything with a main character that has to go through some sort of awakening process," he says. How many films does he see in the theater? "I'd say at least 10 a month." Like everyone else interviewed, he loves his DVD collection.
"Cord-cutters" and "cord-nevers" may be the bane of the cable industry, but interviewees said that problem simply boils down to math. For a household of four people, says MediaVest evp, research director David Shiffman, a full telecom package is much too expensive. "You have cable, plus phone, plus two mobile devices—maybe a tablet. That's probably $450 a month," Shiffman estimates. Indeed, the average cost of a cable bill is nearly double what it was in 1996. "They don't have that money when they're making $30,000 a year and have all this student debt."
"Cable is just far, far too expensive, especially for the quality of programming," concurs Max, who just turned 29 and is getting his MBA at night. "We'd be paying a ton of money a month. I looked it up once. It was, like, unfathomable."
Price indexes, too, have skyrocketed. So the question becomes not simply "How do we reach young men who don't have cable?" but also "How important to marketers are consumers without much discretionary income?"
For example, these guys don't want a new car. At all. "They go, 'I'll have to spend $500 a month?'" says Shiffman. (Last year, the average monthly car payment was $550.) "It's something that a lot of marketers are trying to wrap their heads around." He clearly has a point. "A $500-a-month car payment?" gasps Max. "That's terrible. I'd pay, like, $285, and that's high." He pauses. "I don't like seeing luxury cars advertised," he says, thoughtfully. "I don't know if that's because I'm poor."

I also like Argentina & Brazil, haha
What about the games? So far Germany had the best one, that 4-2 in the opening, 2 magnific goals, USA lost 0-3 to Czech Republic.. that was pretty predictable
Tonight's the big game: Brazil - Croatia
BTW, Trin, if you still can't watch the games, get yahoo messenger and i'll connect the webcam to the tv tunner

What is plagiarism?
Using other people's work (in a variety of forms) in part or in whole and representing it as your own
What is documentation?
A systematic way of indicating the original source of the material or information used in your own work
Examples of two types of documentation format:
- Author-Date:
In-text citation
- According to Linden (1986). . . .
- Kanzi, a bilingual bonobo, has been instrumental in renewing interest in animal intelligence (Linden, 1986).
Reference list:
Linden, E. (1986). Silent partners: The legacy of the ape language experiments. New York: Times.
- Citation-Sequence:
In-text citation:
Reference list:
- According to Linden11 . . . .
- Kanzi, a bilingual bonobo, has been instrumental in renewing interest in animal intelligence.11
11Linden E. 1986. The legacy of the ape language experiments. New York: Times.
What format style should be used for documentation?
- A style presented in a style manual commonly used by professionals in your discipline
- A style used by journals in your field
- A style presented in a style guide published by a professional organization in your field
What are style manuals?
Style manuals are handbooks that give reference, layout format, and, in most cases, grammar and punctuation rules.
Three of the most commonly used style guides are
- Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA)
- Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (now the Council of Science Editors--formerly Council of Biology Editors)
- American Medical Association Manual of Style
If I'm using a journal's style format, where do I find that?
Academic journals have a "Guide for Authors" or "Instructions for Authors," available either in the print journal or on their web site. You also should look at articles in the most recent issues of the journal.
What needs to be documented?
- Another person's idea or opinion
- Anything published, including web materials
- Your own published work
- Interpretations
- Drawings or photographs
- Charts and graphs
- Lab results
- Lecture notes
- Professional presentations
- Techniques and procedures
- Surveys and test instruments
What does not need to be documented?
Common knowledge
What is "common knowledge"?
- "Bare-bone" facts from a dictionary or other basic reference books
- Dates, titles of principal works or studies, proper names
- Scientific and technical terms
- Example of common knowledge:
"Watson and Crick proposed a spiral model of DNA, the double helix."
How can you effectively and appropriately use secondary source material in your writing?
- Direct quotation
- Copies the exact words of a source
- Is used sparingly in graduate-level writing
- Paraphrase
- Restates source information in your own words
- Assimilates research into a single style of writing to avoid awkward sentence structure, choppiness, or both
- Summary
- Condenses an entire article, chapter, book, or web source
- Is much shorter than the original
- Re-presentation
- Draws on original source material to create tables,
How can I effectively (and ethically) paraphrase?
- Read and understand the original source.
- Use a highlighter pen only if you are going to write notes also.
- Write the bibliographic information down carefully and completely.
- Make notes using words, phrases, or a short string of words. Do NOT copy full sentences or long sections of text.
- Leave the material for a period of time, at the very least several hours but preferably several days.
- When you write your paper, use only the notes that you've taken.
- Never write your paper while looking directly at the original text.
- Absolutely never write your paper with photocopies of original texts in which sentences have been highlighted spread around you.
- Place appropriate citations in your text to indicate sources.
- After writing a complete section such as the background, verify details included in your paper by using the original text.
- Add details or make other adjustments if what you have written misrepresents the original text.
Be prepared—Plan ahead!
Effective (and ethical) writing takes time.

Terrorist can bridge the gap of little more than two miles and aim their rockets at targets using the latest free geotechnology (click to enlarge)
Going around the various blogs and e-mail accounts of geographers is the Guardian story of how Fatah-allied terrorists are using Google Earth to target missiles at the small town of Sderot, Israel (video of a launch).
This is not the first time terrorists have used the free, high-quality imagery of Google Earth for evil purposes. Shiite terrorists used Google Earth as a sort of God-eye's spy to target the inside of British bases in Iraq. The attacks were such an issue that the British managed to persuade Google to use pre-Iraq War imagery instead; so that the terrorists could not target what they were unable to see.
While the egalitarianism of geotechology can be good like saving time driving, it like all tools can be used for nefarious purposes. There is a debate roaring about the balance of freedom of information versus security. Some countries ban the use of Google Earth while others have successfully "requested" Google censor or blur "critical" locations. Other mapping programs such as GeoPortail have white spaces where key military structures are.
Except more censorship issues as those who seek ill use Google Earth for their own purposes. A brave new future indeed.
