Anger, Nerves, and Everything Else
Yanks Lose Game 1 of WS, And I Am Pissed
Frickin' frickin' frickin' WHY? HOW? AAAHHH!!! This is NOT what I expected, NOT what I invisioned, NOT WHAT I DREAMED OF!!! (….-breathe in, breathe out-….you can do this….soon the nightmare will be over…game 2 is in a few hours….when they win, you can calm down…..everything will be okay….) -SIGH-. Okay. Obviously, I was a bit effected by the loss last night. I spent my study hall this morning writing in big, bold letters: P H U C K THE PHILLIES-GO YANKEES! I'm sorry to you Phillie fans out there. But I just couldn't take it. The Yankees lost to the Phillies 6-1.
Pitching Analysis: CC Sabathia was not CC Sabathia last night. The numbers don't look too bad: he went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs on 4 hits and struckout 6. But I don't think he pitched well. He fell behind to a majority of the Phillies, getting himself into 1-0 counts, which is not the way to start. He just didn't seem right. After he allowed the first homer to Utley in the 3rd, he got a little better. Utley then hit another solo homer in the 6th, and CC was done after the 7th.
CC tried….aw, I still love you, Hefty-Lefty.
The Yankee bullpen made me almost want to commit suicide last night. (a bit extreme, but you get my point) Phil Hughes started the 8th inning, when the game was still within reach for the Yanks, and totaly eff-ed things up. He allowed 2 runs without even getting an out. What is up with this guy? He carried this team into the postseason, and now that they are here, he can't help at all! He needs to throw strikes, get ahead, and have that confidence again.
Brian Bruney also stank. In the 9th, he allowed 2 runs on 3 hits. This is disgusting. Something must be done. -Light bulb goes off- I have an idea! Let Swisher pitch! He'll probably be better than anyone in the 'pen, and as of now he hasn't hit in the postseason, so we won't miss him in the lineup! It's the perfect plan!
Offensive Analysis: Well, the Yankee offense really couldn't do anything off Cliff Lee. They couldn't even build his pitch count so he could come out of the game. Nope, they couldn't even do that. Lee pitched a complete game. It was gross.
The Yankees got 1 run in the 9th due to an error by Rollins. Nothing else. Just 6 hits. No walks. They looked dead, no, lost would be a better word. Watching the Yankees at the plate last night was like watching a lost puppy try to find his way home.
I am upset. I am angry. I am nervous. I am worried that everything we've done this season won't matter. Am I foolish? Am I overreacting? Am I jumping the gun a little bit here? I sure hope so. As my fellow blogger Beth, and my history teacher Mr. Sayers said, the Yankees have fallen behind in the World Series before and managed to win. I know that. But I can't help but to freak out. I can't help but to panic. I love this team more than anything. They deserve to win.
I pray to the Lord that Burnett and the bullpen are good tonight, and that the Yankee bats wake up. GO YANKEES!
5 Comments
Don't panic! It was just one game. I know it was hard to watch, because we're so used to seeing the Yanks win, especially at home and especially when they come back in the late innings. But Lee pitched a great game. Can't blame the hitters for that. And the defense was excellent. CC was certainly good enough to win, even if he wasn't quite as sharp as he was against the Angels. The bullpen is another story. I like your idea about Swisher!
Game 2 should be fun, Game 1 wasn't all terrible for the Yankees. I think they'll turn up a knotch and knock Pedro Martinez off his heels. A 2-0 Phillies lead means "yawn" 1-1 tie will mean excitement so the Yankees should win today.
Matthew Tang
Down one game, that idiot Girardi is starting Molina and Hairston instead of Posada and Swisher. Go with who got you there you Neanderthal!
Phillies will probably be up two games tonight!!
If they lose this series; he must be fired and then stuffed and mounted above Joe Torre's fireplace.
To raymond6003:
Talk about overreacting. Girardi is not an idiot, I'd hate to break that to you. For some unknown reason, AJ pitches better when Molina catches him. I don't know why. It just is. Greg Maddux had a personal catcher for most of his career, Tim Wakefield had one for the longest time since Varitek couldn't catch the knuckleball to save his life. When AJ comes out of the game, so does Molina, in comes Jorge. So we only lose his bat for however long AJ goes, and if he's pitching into the 7th or 8th, clearly it's working. Nick Swisher needs to sit, he's been batting atrociously all playoffs. We won, so everything worked out well. RELAX.
I understand your frustration, Virginia. Game 1 was an epic disaster and it was all on the offense and bullpen. CC pitched very, very well and gave us the performance we knew he would. It was everyone else that let him down. However, he's guaranteed one more start, maybe two….so he'll hopefully get a chance to be redeemed.
Overreacting? Hey Beth, shouldn't you be in a class somewhere studying constitutional law?
You have a short memory.

Is the rainforest calling your name?
If you want to visit South America, explore the Amazonian rainforest and follow in the footsteps of famous explorers such as Sir Walter Raleigh and David Attenborough, but the only words you know in Spanish are "fiesta" and "siesta," Guyana is the destination for you.
The republic of Guyana has one of the largest unspoiled rainforests in the world and a huge wealth of animal and plant diversity. This small and sparsely populated South American country is the only mainland English-speaking country on the continent.
Guyana was a British colony from 1841 to 1966, and still preserves its colonial heritage. For instance, 90 percent of its population speaks English and all drive on the left side of the road.
Our next exotic English-speaking destination does not only have English as its official language, it is (surprisingly) one of the top five countries in the world with the largest English-speaking populations.
Does it get more exotic than the Far East?
Although there are more than 76 major languages and 500 dialects in the Philippines, English is the country's official language. It is the language used in schools and universities as well as by most newspapers, radio and TV programs.
The Philippines has been a popular destination for foreigners for centuries, although, until recently, it was rarely with peaceful goals.
First, the Spanish colonized the Philippines in the 16th century. In 1898, it became the United States' first and only colony. In the 1940s it fought for its survival against Japan and finally, in 1946, regained its independence.
Now, this huge archipelago of more than 7,100 islands attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists in search of its famous beaches, its picturesque high altitude rice terraces and Old-World cities, which still retain 18th century architecture from the Spanish conquistadors.

GV Now
GVSU has record endowment, regional impact of $730 million
Posted on April 30, 2014
The annual economic impact that Grand Valley State University has on the region is estimated at $730.1 million. Grand Valley issued its yearly tri-county economic impact report during its April 30 Board of Trustees meeting held at the Allendale Campus.
The economic impact report covers Kent, Ottawa and Muskegon counties and used 2012-2013 data. Grand Valley employs more than 3,200 people and enrolls more than 24,400 students who spend money and pay taxes in the region.
Some additional highlights of this year's report are:
• New construction and renovations pumped more than $21.7 million into the local economy in 2013. A 151,000-square-foot Science Laboratory building is under construction on the Allendale Campus to support the science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and health professions fields.
• More than 10,700 permanent off-campus jobs in the region exist because of Grand Valley's campuses in those communities.
• Grand Valley alumni now number more than 92,000 and nearly half are living or working West Michigan's tri-county area.
The entire Economic Impact brochure is posted at www.gvsu.edu/accountability.
In other discussion/action by the Board of Trustees:
• The board learned the university's endowment surpassed $100.2 million. The majority of the fund is dedicated to scholarships and academic programming. Endowment spending in 2014-2015 will be $4.1 million; 40 percent goes to scholarships helping more than 700 students. The university's 10-year return is in the top 10 percent of the 835 colleges and universities participating in the National Association of Colleges and Universities Business Officers Survey.
• The board approved the purchase of property adjacent to the Bicycle Factory on the Pew Grand Rapids Campus. The 1.2 acre property, located at 524 Butterworth, was purchased for $950,000 and will be used for additional parking. The property has a 20,000-square-foot building in which the current owner operates a fabric coating business. While the owner can remain on the property for up to five years, the university will be allowed to park on the site.
• The board approved the authorization of two new public school academies, Cornerstone Jefferson-Douglass Academy (Detroit) and Covenant House Academy Muskegon (Muskegon). The board also approved termination of a charter contract with Escuela Avancemos, and approved a name change for Cornerstone Health School to Cornerstone Health and Technology School. Board member appointments or reappointments to GVSU-authorized public school academy boards were also approved.
• The board approved a change to the university's administrative manual to state that one of the five student senators who serve on the University Academic Senate must be a graduate student. This will ensure proper demographic representation of the student body at Grand Valley.

Kaye Erickson is a sweet, slightly shy grandma. "I have 19, 20 due in July." So her day job might surprise you. Kaye is the owner of 'Erickson Roofing.' "What was the year you started roofing? 1976. That's telling my age!"
She's worked with her husband, her son, "now it's my grandsons and I. It's all been family."
And over her three decades of roofing work, she's had the occasional run in with wildlife. "We find a lot of different things that are kind of interesting. A few snakes occasionally."
But a recent job on top of the 'Family Restaurant' in La Crosse required this family business to come to the rescue of a family in need.
You see this mama duck made the unfortunate mistake of laying her eggs 30 feet up. "We try to stay as quiet as we can. I don't think she likes us that well."
And with no food source or a way to get her babies down, the Erickson's took action. "We can't have a duck up there and no food!" So we brought the pet taxi to keep the food dry."
For weeks they checked in to see if the ducklings had checked out. "She should be hatching soon."And a few days later they arrived. So they hatched a plan to capture the ducks and transport them to water. Turns out that's easier said than done.
With all the ducks finally accounted for, Kaye and her grandsons take this special delivery off the roof and to the water. All in a days work from one family to another.
"Our mission is over."

They make sweet deliciousness for your tummy, they're responsible for most of the fruit you eat and they kill more people worldwide than sharks, snakes, ninjas and Australia combined. The buzz right now is all about bees. They're vitally important to agriculture, and they're dying mysteriously all over the world. But if you thought that flitting around flowers and falling over dead were the only things bees were good at, then you are sorely misinformed, friend. These insects possess a vast array of astounding abilities. Bees kick seven different kinds of ass, because they have ...
6Super Static Cling
Bees are in tune with electricity in lots of unique ways. First, they can sense the Earth's magnetic field and use it to navigate, which is cool, but not exactly rare (cows and fish can figure out which way north is based on the Earth's magnetic field, and as a rule, anything that a cow can do isn't impressive).
Reuters via Foxnews.com
See a cow looking like this, and you know it's going to be followed by a mercy shooting.
Bees decided to take this ability a step further. Not only can they tap into the geomagnetic field of the planet, but they can also sense the electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere that precede thunderstorms. Sensing the static in the air, bees know to high-tail it home well before a storm arrives. Bees are so hypersensitive to electricity that electrically charged particles have been shown to affect a bee's appetite and screw up its navigation.
One study concluded that bees detect electric fields on the quantum frigging level. Part of the reason for this sensitivity is that bees carry around their own electrical field. When bees buzz, their wings produce a strong negative charge, and being furry little bastards, this static will build up like socks (or cats) in a dryer. Besides zapping siblings on the ear, they use this charge to harvest food ... magnetically.
Bees make honey out of pollen. Pollen, as everyone knows, is plant sperm, and it has a natural positive charge. So when a negative bee rolls up to a new flower engorged with positive love dust, the stuff practically leaps onto it. Bees utilize the power of static cling to harvest plant jizz (in case all of this talk of positive charges was too sciencey for you). In fact, these "flying dust mops" are so good at collecting particulates that they're being studied for a wide range of applications, from spreading insecticides to searching for bombs.
5Incredible Language Skills
After primates, bees have the most complex language out of any animal, and they even have a fairly advanced form of dance-based sign language, something no other insects come even close to having. That's a fact. (Suck it, ants.) They communicate in "an abstract, symbolic way" that we're only just beginning to understand, and they look fly as shit while doing it, because bees communicate with interpretive dance. Through their "waggling" and shaking, scouts can report the distance and direction of food sources over 3 miles away. The directions are accurate to within about 15 feet. They also explain how good the getting is and whether the area is dangerous. It's like a Hokey Pokey version of MapQuest.
Can you see the weird happy face?
Bees use choreographed triangulation. A scout can tell you how far away food is, how rich it is and in what direction you'd need to travel to get there, all through the sexy language of dance-talking. How do scientists know all of this? How did they crack the bees' language? Researchers superglued small antennae on a few bugs and tracked them through radar to confirm that, yes, most bees are fluent in the language of dance. You could barely tell that the antennae were there.
BBSRC/Rothamsted Research via Livescience.com
"Bravo 14, we're in the shit -- repeat, we're in the shit! Send air support ASAP, I'm not dying in this fucking jungle!"
But that's not the only thing bees dance-talk about. When it's time to move to a new hive, the scouts will go house hunting. They'll dance around to give directions and encourage other scouts to go look at a new location. Research has shown that a bee consensus is reached at around 15. When a bee starts buzzing around a new hive, that means that it has cast its vote for the joint. When 15 votes are in for a new home, the decision has been reached and they all head home to tell the others.
But what happens if other scouts are still dancing in favor of a different hive? They get headbutted and will continue to get headbutted until they quiet down. Scouts will also knock heads with other scouts who are giving out directions to dangerous food locations. In bee language, as in human communication, a headbutt to the face means shut the hell up.

|Federation Starfleet
|Security officer
|Alive (2377)
|Played by:
|Deborah Levin
|Lang on Quarra
Ensign Lang was an operations division Starfleet officer assigned security aboard the USS Voyager, under Captain Kathryn Janeway. She was one of several crewmembers that survived the transport to the Delta Quadrant in 2371.
In 2373, she was unable to get a transporter lock on an away team while standing in for Harry Kim at the operations officer station. (VOY: "Blood Fever")
Later that year, Lang was temporarily promoted to chief of security after a majority of the Voyager crew had been translocated to the Nyrian biosphere vessel. She later was in command of the starship after Chakotay left the bridge. While in command, she coordinated with two of the remaining twelve crewmembers that they had to prevent the Nyrians from capturing the bridge. Seconds later, several Nyrians stormed the bridge and Lang stunned two of them, before she was, herself, stunned. She was subsequently transported to the biosphere ship, where she was imprisoned with the rest of the crew. (VOY: "Displaced")
In 2374, she manned the security console on the bridge while Tuvok was at a briefing. (VOY: "Year of Hell")
In 2375, her biomimetic counterpart on the copied Voyager attended the wedding of Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres. (VOY: "Course: Oblivion")
In 2377, she was affected by radiation when a mine exploded near Voyager's hull. She and the rest of the crew (except The Doctor) left in escape pods and were rescued by the Quarrens, and treated for their radiation burns. However, what the crew didn't know was that the Quarrens intended to alter their memories, and make them join their working class.
When Commander Chakotay infiltrated Quarra to find the crew, the first time he entered the main power distribution plant, he passed Lang working there.
Later, her memories were reintegrated, and she returned to life on Voyager. (VOY: "Workforce")

So, I'm sitting in a meeting . . . on a table above the height of everyone else due to a lack of seating, no less. I feel my milk let down. No big deal, I haven't leaked in months, dd is 6 months old. I'm sitting there for maybe 20 minutes, then cross my arms across my chest to feel a wet spot on my left breast. I quietly excused myself. I'm in my office pumping now. I don't know if anyone noticed.
Oh well, it's no secret that I'm breastfeeding. Milk happens!!!


text:
Congratulations!!! My baby was born on week 41, after 9 hs of induced labor and no changes, through a C-section. My milk came after 4 days, and she had some jaundice that was corrected by putting her under indirect sunlight. She lost more than 10% of her weight by the time we came out of the hospital :eye, because of very contradicting advice I got from nurses, doctors and LCs in the hospital (one being that she was supposed to nurse only every three hours, so if she cried before that it was probably not hunger)- Now she´s a healthy 6 month old baby that has doubled her birth weight. Some ideas:
1) Try to breastfeed as soon as possible after the procedure, on demand, and have your baby sleep with you or at least in the room if possible.
2) Nurse lying down- I didn´t even know this was possible!!:lol but it really helped with the pain around my mid-section. Sitting down to nurse was very uncomfortable for me, plus lying down will you get some much needed extra minutes of rest :D
3) Avoid walking up and down the stairs if possible: I set up two diaper-changing stations: one upstairs and one downstairs. Also arranged two nursing stations as well (I fed her in the bed and in the couch :D). In the morning I tried to get everything I needed before going downstairs, and only went up again 2 or 3 times during the day). This helps the scar to heal faster, as I was told.
4) If possible, limit visitations during the first week. Take up an all friends and family´s offers to take care of your other kids.
5) Try to be as well-hydrated, well-fed, well-rested and relaxed as possible (like I said, as possible! we all know how it is :love co-sleeping really helps for this)
6) Take care of your nipples!! Apply milk or calendula cream on them and air dry.
7) Offer, offer and offer the breast!! :hug YOU CAN DO IT!!

text: Feeling a little down....My LO is 15 weeks old now. In the beginning of BF'ing I had an oversupply. I was able to succesfully decrease to meet my LO needs. But then I started my menses (just mild spotting) at 6 weeks followed up with a full return 3 weeks ago. I noticed a BIG dip in my supply and when pumping I only would yeild 4oz from both breast when I would normally get 5 oz from one. So I did increase my pumping but my supply has not increased. Now I have increased my hours at work and therefore she is at the breast less. Last but not least, she is teething and has began a nursing strike this last week. I did see that she has 2 teeth that have just poked through her gums last night. She would eat for approx. 2 min then start to fuss and unlatch. This would go on the entire feeding. Last night she did the same only she refused to relatch and just screamed. She took a bottle just fine. But I do not have any extra supply and therefore I am having to mix my BM with formula and when I pump when she has taken a bottle I am only getting about 3 oz now from both breasts. Not sure I am going to be able to get my supply back up with all the above factors. Really saddens me cause I have enjoyed the quite relaxing times that we spent together

Comments about this product:
I haven't had a chance to use it yet, however I was dissapointed in the size. I also ordered Jim Crammers Mad Money mugs and liked the shape and size of them much better.
I like the inside of the cup to be a color that doesn't show stains and stir marks better than a white cup interior.
The design of the bear and the bull was "OK". I liked that it was simple and uncluttered. However, the drawings of the amimals were "boring" and without showing much "action". It could have been a much better and more exciting design, without being "corny".

News Detail
Rochester Area Colleges Continuing Education Association Honors Three Fisher Students
The Rochester Area Colleges Continuing Education Association (RACCE) recently presented three St. John Fisher College students with Outstanding Adult Student Awards. Jaime Berthold, Matthew DiGiambattista, and Shawna Hicks were formally recognized by the RACCE at a banquet on April 23. All three will graduate in May.
The awards recognized the extraordinary achievements of 30 adult students from ten area colleges who have excelled academically while also juggling responsibilities outside of the classroom, such as families, jobs, and community involvement.
Berthold is a Sport Management major, and works multiple part-time jobs while completing the rigorous academic program that includes a 150-hour practicum and a 400-hour internship. She is also a full-time mom. Currently, she is interning with after-school services and programming for the Perinton Parks and Recreation Department, focusing on how parents influence youth to get involved in sport. She will graduate with a B.S. in Sport Management.
DiGiambattista started his coursework at Monroe Community College and then transferred to RIT where he earned a B.S. in Criminal Justice. He then applied and was accepted to attend Marine Corps Officer Candidate School. He was commissioned a Second Lieutenant, and over four years served in Ramadi, Iraq, and Helmand Province, Afghanistan. During this time, he nurtured an interest in history and discovered his calling to become an educator. DiGiambattista works several part-time jobs, including tutoring and coaching JV lacrosse. He will graduate in with an M.S. in Adolescence Education and Special Education.
Hicks, an English major, works forty-plus hours per week as a direct care assistant at Finger Lakes Developmental Disabilities Service Office. As a single mother raising four children, she has mastered the art of scheduling and work/life balance. She will graduate with a B.A. in English, with a literature concentration, and has plans to pursue her master's and Ph.D. in English.

A Minnesota man has been charged with shooting and injuring an off-duty sheriff's commander while hunting turkeys in western Wisconsin this spring.
Twenty-seven-year-old Anthony Peter Cardarelli of White Bear Lake, Minn., is charged in St. Croix County with second-degree recklessly endangering safety.
Cardarelli told deputies that he was sitting in a tree when he heard movement in the brush and fired his shotgun at what he thought was a turkey.
Washington County Sheriff's Cmdr. Jerry Cusick was hit by 58 pellets at short range and knocked off his feet.
According to the charges, Cusick had a landowner's permission to scout turkey hunting areas on April 30 but Cardarelli didn't.
The Star Tribune reports Cardarelli makes his initial court appearance Oct. 24.
Cusick has returned to work.

We have finally figured something out on our own about our 11 wk old DS! He has been sleeping in a bassinet in our room since birth. I was getting discouraged b/c he was not sleeping "through the night" the way all of my friends' babies had at a much earlier age (7-9 wks).
A couple of nights ago I was extremely tired and decided not to pounce on him as soon as I heard the familiar grunts and kicking upon his waking. I thought that I would give it a few minutes and get up if he started fussing or crying. What do you know.....I woke up 3 hrs later to find he had put himself back to sleep!
All this time I thought he was waking up to be fed or changed and it turns out I was probably disturbing him! Thought this info might help those of you who have grunty, squirmy, loud sleepers.

In a workshop, he read the first draft of the proposed ordinance and said he had been working with attorneys in Austin on the draft.
He again apologized to the committee that was formed back in March that included four women from Bayside to determine the best ordinance possible. He never met with the committee.
"This isn't a final hearing. We'll have to have several readings," Mascorro said.
Highlights of the proposed ordinance include increasing the current county permit fee from $400 to $2,000 per game room machine, requiring the game room buildings to be subject to all safety, health and building code standards, have 10-foot ceilings, prohibiting the game rooms to be used as residences, nobody under 21 years old allowed in the establishment, no alcohol beverages allowed in the game rooms. one full-size parking space per four game room machines, entrances marked with game room, alarm monitoring and serviced by a company, location not within 1,000 feet of educational facilities, medical facilities, places of religious worship and places where children congregate, no refunds for lost or stolen permits ($10 fee for duplicate permits), all access for law enforcement, fire personnel, inspectors (no private club scenarios), liability insurance, ADA compliant, no felons for employees, security guard service and much more.
Back at the beginning of the year, the county had considered working with cities to standardize game room fees at $1,000, but the commissioners court opted to put more teeth in its ordinance and passed on any increase at the time.
Since that time, at least five new game rooms have set up in the county.
According to County Clerk Ida Ramirez, she has collected the $400 game room machine fee for 506 game room machines since Jan. 1. That's $202,400 the county collected from the permit fees.
Mascorro called the proposed ordinance "very restrictive."
Commissioner Ann Lopez asked if any of the current game rooms are in compliance.
Commissioner Gary Bourland said he didn't think any of the game rooms meet the square footage requirement, and he said he didn't think "any of them are 500 feet from the roadway" as proposed.
Some question whether the current game rooms would be grandfathered in or be subject to the new ordinance was raised.
But Mascorro said when it comes time for renewal of permits, the game rooms would need to be compliant.
Mascorro said a $2,000 fee per machine is a good place to start, particularly since the town of Woodsboro is considering increasing its game room permit fee per machine from $1,000 to $2,000.
"We not trying to restrict anybody out of business," Mascorro said.
He added that the ordinance is for the safety of county residents.
Karen Clark, a Bayside city councilman, said Woodsboro is going to go up on its fees, but it "can only go up so much."
She said she had talked with one of Woodsboro's city councilmen.
She said in another six months, Woodsboro will go up to $3,000.
"By the time you adopt this, you might want to go higher," Clark said.
Bourland and Mascorro briefly discussed creating a game room compliance officer position.
Where criminal activity would be checked by the sheriff's office and county attorney, compliance offenses would be checked by a game room compliance officer.
"We're looking at something enforceable, not looking to run people out of business," Mascorro said.
He added that if residents are going to the game rooms for entertainment purposes, then the game room "has to be a safe place."
Mascorro suggested ceasing issuing game room permits until the ordinance is passed.
The idea to temporarily stop issuing permits was liked but would need to be run by the county attorney.
Mascorro projected that Jan. 1 would be the date the ordinance would go into place.
No action was taken in regular session, but another game room ordinance workshop was set for July 22, during the commissioners court regular meeting.
In other business, commissioners approved advertising for road materials and seal coating bids pertaining to the almost 10 miles of county road improvements under the Texas Transportation Infrastructure Project grant.
And commissioners authorized Mascorro to sign the updated schedule of road projects to be done under the project.
Commissioners took no action on aiding the town of Refugio with the purchase of a new tanker truck for the Refugio Volunteer Fire Department and filling a vacancy on the Refugio County Community Development Foundation board of directors.

Dear all,
Word associations have been very important in the study of word meanings in cognitive science. Currently, different professors are trying to build a network of word associations in English. In order to do this, we need many native (or at least very fluent) English speakers to participate in a small fun tast that does not take more than five minutes. In the task, we present a short list of words and ask people to write down the first three words they think of after reading the cue word. In order to build the network, we need about 100 participants responding to every cue word and we need thousands of cue words. That implies that we need thousands of participants. It seems a lot, but we've done this before: we succeeded over the past few years of reaching about 80.000 perticipants in Flanders and in the Netherlands to do the task in Dutch. However, since English is THE scientific language worldwide, it would be much more interesting to build a similar network in English. So if you have five minutes of spare time, please visit
As the dataset will be open for all interested scientists, you will help many of us by participating. It would even be better if you can spread this call by e-mail, facebook, or other means. If you have suggestions about other ways in which we can reach people willing to participate in this small task, please don't hesitate to contact us. My coordinates are given below.
With kind regards,
Professor Dr. Gert Storms

Never heard this band before (heard of them many times), but that first song kicks so much ass it's ridiculous.
Never used this before either, but it's appropriate:
Written by Erik M. on 03.10.2013 at 02:07
Will see them tomorrow so checked this one out today. Although it's just a first impression, I must sadly say that it's definitely not as good as this one (which kicks even more ass if you ask me):
Knowing myself however, I change my mind quite often after multiple listens of an album, just so you know. But I've listened to Carpathia 2 times in a row and I never really do that, which says enough I think.
Btw, are you talking about the first song (Witching Hour) or what actually is the second song called A Witch Is Born? I'm asking because the first song is just an intro.
Written by CyberSymphony on 03.10.2013 at 17:29
A few moments where I wanted dance around a campfire, but overall its not too bad.
Written by Zaph on 03.10.2013 at 09:57
Well, yes I was talking about the song after the intro, "A With Is Born". I'm definitely gonna check this band's entire discography out very soon. I'll start with that link of yours
Also, have fun tomorrow
Written by Erik M. on 04.10.2013 at 16:33
Haha, I thought so, and thanks. It was definitely an enjoyable show. All three bands (Dordeduh, Saturnus and The Vision Bleak) were totally great. Musically (as in the music they make) The Vision Bleak is the "worst" (still good of course), but their performance was by far the best. Really cool guys and awesome to see Markus Stock right there on stage, who is of course also in Empyrium and Noekk (two way better bands, in my opinion). Too bad Saturnus only played for about 45-50 minutes since that is just too short for a band like that with a lot of long songs.

I don't really delve into gothic but this is pretty enjoyable
Written by Zaph on 04.10.2013 at 19:02
I'd love to go see those three bands as well, but unfortunately they play on a Monday here in Belgium. And you're right, doom bands should play at least 3 hours. Just kidding of course, but 45 minutes is indeed short for a band with those long songs. It happens all the time though, since most of the time the bands with the really long songs aren't as big...
I checked out that link, and indeed that album rocks as well. This band is cool. I don't think they'll ever be one of my favorites, but the music is definitely solid and just plain enjoyable.
Written by Erik M. on 14.10.2013 at 19:06
Sorry for the late reply (I kind of forgot to reply ). What does it matter on which day they play btw? Most shows during the week days don't end very late (around 23:00 I think). Anyway, I totally agree about what you said about this band. Really cool guys and band but the music itself isn't brilliant by any means. Handing out 8's for their albums is probably as high as I'll go because the music is just fun and not very impressive most of the time.

So "pretty enjoyable" equals a 10? Pretty enjoyable equals a 7 in my book. While I like the band, they are never anywhere near the level of Empyrium and Noekk (of which Markus Stock and Thomas Helm are both members of) and even then I'd highly prefer their 2nd album (Carpathia) to the others that I've heard.

No problem.
Well, normally I'd agree with you, but since Tuesdays are especially heavy this year I won't go to a concert on a Monday. If I had the self-control to not drink at a concert I might consider it, but I really don't
Also, I don't like going to concerts alone so if I don't know anyone that's going/can't convince any of my friends to come (which, by the way, isn't that hard so it's not really an excuse in this case), I just skip it (unless it's a band or event I really really want to see. Or a rare occasion like Emperor reuniting. Or AC/DC coming to Belgium. That doesn't happen too often)

You know what they say; two wrongs most definitely make a right
Written by Erik M. on 14.10.2013 at 22:04
Like Marcel says it is vote abuse in fact. Why even bother with that when you change the rating later anyway? Then the effect is gone anyway, while the real/other vote abusers still have their rating intact, so you basically fooled other people while you didn't accomplish anything in the end.
Except that that phrase is total nonsense (in this case at least).

according to you. And this album and many others certainly don't deserve any attention (according to me) so you'r e simply as bad as someone handing out 1's to these sorts of albums.

I'm BitterCOld, I'm a mod. The old tyme staffers used to refer to me as Duke Nukem for my willingness to blow up abusers voting histories like a kid shaking an etch-a-sketch.
Normally I'd handle these warnings in public, but as you posted you reasoning in this thread, I am posting so all can see, and no one gets the same idea.
If this is the case, not only will I be nuking your votes, but based upon admission of guilt, I'll be giving you a nice 30 day timeout from voting perms. (Or anyone else who gets a similar idea.... this is an omnidirectional warning.)
Future violations can result in permanent loss of permissions.
Hope that is settled.
Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 15.10.2013 at 03:42
Another staffer made clear you are abusing votes yet you deny it, Mmm, weird seeing as staff made the rules and interpret it and not the user.
am waiting for the nuke to drop and permissions to be taken

Vote abuse is a permanent infraction, disparate from my voting patterns. I hand out 10s to albums that impress me at the time, a preliminary vote of sorts. Over time, the score usually diminishes to the rating that I see fit once I have properly listened to the album. Hopefully that's clear now.
Edit: I'm just clarifying that my comment "two wrongs..." was indeed sarcastic.

Bitter asked me to clarify that my activities aren't vote abuse and I've done just that.

Vote abuse perhaps, but with good intention. In truth, my vote may have been the difference between top 10 or 11 on the charts, thus allowing the album to garner the attention that it deserves. Regardless of additional vote abusers that may swarm, at least it could remain in the spotlight for that small length of time
I was well aware of that, I was being satirical
Edit: At this point all signs of vote abuse has vanished and this album's time in the spotlight is long gone, so I put the vote I think this really deserves....for now.
Written by LeKiwi on 15.10.2013 at 02:29
Of course, as with most things musical, purely subjective. Do the maths; there is a rather conspicuous difference between the way a rating of 1 affects the score in contrast with a rating of 10. You also forget the vote abusers retain their scores, I don't; as indicated by my current vote to the left.
Edit: Also this is off-topic; we should probably stop.
Written by LeKiwi on 15.10.2013 at 03:56
Bitter asked me to clarify that my activities aren't vote abuse and I've done just that. I'm a lenient voter and considering the voting system has no rules, how can I be infringing upon any?

A Scout who is unable to complete any or all of the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, or First Class rank because he is physically or mental disabled may complete alternative requirements. The following from the Guide to Advancement explains the process.
A degree of modification in advancement requirements may be necessary to mainstream as many members with disabilities as possible. Thus a Scout with a permanent physical or mental disability (or a disability expected to last more than two years or beyond the 18th birthday) who is unable to complete all the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, or First Class rank may, with his parent or guardian, submit a request to the council advancement committee to complete alternative requirements. Unless a Scout has been approved to register beyond the age of eligibility, then alternative requirements must be completed by the 18th birthday. The procedures appear below. This avenue is also available to youth with longer-term disabilities (such as those related to a severe injury) who want to continue advancing during recovery.
Simple modifications very close to existing requirements need not be approved. A Scout in a wheelchair, for example, may meet the requirements for hiking by "wheeling" to a place of interest. Allowing more time and permitting special aids are also ways leaders can help Scouts with disabilities make progress. Modifications, however, must provide a very similar challenge and learning experience.
The outcomes of the Scouting experience should befun and educational, and not just relate to completing rank requirements that might place unrealistic expectations on a member who has a disability.
Before applying for alternative requirements, members must complete as many of those existing as possible. Once they have done their best to the limit of their abilities and resources, the unit leader or a troop committee member submits to the council advancement committee, a written request for alternate requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks. It must show what has been completed, and suggest the alternates for those requirements the Scout cannot do.
The request must be accompanied by supporting letters from the unit leader, a parent or guardian, and the member (if possible), as well as a written statement from a qualified health professional related to the nature of the disability. This may be a physician, neurologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, etc., or an educational administrator as appropriate. Statements must describe the disability; cover the Scout's capabilities, limitations, and prognosis; and outline what requirements cannot be completed. Additional information such as Individualized Education Plans provided to parents by schools, and various treatment summaries and reports, may help an advancement committee make an informed decision.
The advancement committee reviews the request, using the expertise of professionals involved with youth who have disabilities. To make a fair determination, the committee may want to interview the Scout, his parent(s) or guardian(s), and the unit leader. The committee's decision is then recorded and delivered to the Scout and the unit leader.

Wondering why you chose probably Ensiferum's worst album. The self titled is so much better. Other than that your list seems pretty good!
That's easy: Because I think it's their best. I adore the self titled as well, but Iron even a bit more. And their worst is without a doubt their last. Victory Songs was already pretty shitty, but From Afar is just pure crap.

WASHINGTON, July 19, 2011--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is continuing to move more swiftly and consistently to take enforcement action in response to animal welfare violations. As part of its effort to make its actions transparent and accessible to the public, APHIS is highlighting enforcement actions taken in response to violations of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and Horse Protection Act (HPA).
Copies of documents related to these actions, as well as copies of official warnings, are available in the APHIS FOIA Reading Room at /foia/enforcement_actions.php.
During the month of June, APHIS filed administrative complaints alleging that the following persons violated the AWA or HPA:
AWA Docket No. 13-0266; Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.
HPA Docket No. 13-0265; Megan M. Baker
HPA Docket No. 13-0269; Jimmy Lightfoot
HPA Docket No. 13-0283; Rae Martin d/b/a Rae Martin Stables
HPA Docket No. 13-0283; Samuel Martin d/b/a Rae Martin Stables
The following persons entered into pre-litigation settlement agreements (also known as stipulations) in connection with alleged violations of the AWA or HPA:
APHIS Case No. IA130001-AC; Menno and Toby Borntreger
APHIS Case No. MO10157-AC; Robert L. Taylor
APHIS Case No. IA130008-AC; Kenneth and Leatrice McGuire
APHIS Case No. NV120004-AC; University of Nevada, Reno
APHIS Case No. NY11428-AC; Hans Boxler d/b/a Hidden Valley Animals Adventure, LLC
APHIS Case No. UT130001-AC; Daniel J. Davis d/b/a Scipio Petting Zoo
USDA's administrative law judges and judicial officer issued decisions and orders under the AWA or HPA involving the following persons:
AWA Docket No. 12-0623; Rhonda Louise Gear
AWA Docket No. 12-0566; John Holtkamp
AWA Docket No. 09-0175; Bodie S. Knapp d/b/a The Wild Side
The AWA requires that minimum standards of care and treatment be provided for certain animals bred for commercial sale, used in research, transported commercially or exhibited to the public. It excludes those animals raised for food or fiber. Persons who operate facilities in these categories must provide their animals with adequate care and treatment in the areas of housing, handling, sanitation, nutrition, water, veterinary care and protection from extreme weather and temperatures.
To ensure that its licensees are meeting the AWA standards, APHIS inspectors conduct routine, unannounced inspections of all licensed facilities. Violations of the AWA can lead to penalties, including official warnings, civil penalties and license suspensions/revocations. For more information on the inspection and enforcement processes, visit APHIS' animal care website at www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/.
The HPA is the federal law that prohibits horses subjected to a practice called soring from participating in shows, sales, exhibitions and auctions. Soring is a cruel and abusive practice used to accentuate a horse's gait. APHIS works actively with the horse industry to protect against such abuse, ensuring that only sound and healthy horses participate in shows, sales, exhibitions and auctions. APHIS' ultimate goal is to end the inhumane practice of soring completely.
The HPA authorizes APHIS to issue civil penalties and to disqualify violators from participating in horse shows, exhibitions and sales. Both the AWA and HPA contain criminal penalties as well.

speaking of the life of the world to come…Margaret Ernst BMC '11 | June 11, 2010
John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats is a musician who has made carvings in my brain. I recently found this video of him singing a song from his 2009 album, The Life of the World to Come. Once a psychiatric nurse in California, here he looks like an assistant professor who's found a piano in the English department basement.
Above all Darnielle must be a writer, because when people talk about Mountain Goats songs it's often a vague exercise in numerology. There are so just so many. Too many to count (though 525 in this database). He strikes me as someone plucked out of a trajectory of everyday people of plain chins and T-shirts to write songs because he can't not write them. Poems on legal pads poking out of dashboards. Poems scrambled onto receipts blown away by fans in convenience stores.
We're not alike in any way. But when I listen to John Darnielle sing I feel like we're the same, in the way of sitting next to someone on a train platform in the painful tenderness of waiting. He is rarely polished, and maybe I can relate to that because when I play guitar or piano or sing, I probably don't look so good either.
So watch this video. I hope that in the world to come, drenched as it will be with oil on the coasts, people will find Mountain Goats songs and listen to them on vintage CD players or tape decks. It seems like a lot of songwriters are almost embarrassed about the virility of what they do. They censor themselves, tiptoeing around the cavernous efficacy of words plus music. John Darnielle isn't embarrassed.

Humvee for Sullivan Sheriff's Office
August 24, 2011 —
There was a hulking black vehicle sitting on the lawn outside the government center in Monticello on August 18. It was a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, better known as Humvee, which once belonged to the U.S. Army at Fort Drum.
It's now the possession of the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office for use in flooding and other natural disasters in locations where a lesser vehicle can't travel.
Sheriff Mike Schiff posed with Lieutenant Eric Benjamin of the Ulster County Sheriff's Office, who helped secure the Humvee for Sullivan County and also one for Ulster County.
According to various press accounts, Benjamin was instrumental in getting New York State to rejoin the 1033 Federal Surplus Property Program, through which the federal government lends equipment to law enforcement agencies across the country. The state rejoined last year, after having dropped out of the program for six years.
Schiff said the vehicle will be used for any natural disaster where you might have to rescue people, or get food and water to people in situations where four-wheel-drive vehicles are insufficient.
Benjamin said eight hours after the Ulster County Sheriff's Office received their Humvee, it was put to use. He said, "We rescued three different households from flooding up in Phoenicia. It was perfect; it was something that our regular patrol cars and four-wheel-drive vehicles couldn't get to.
There is no cost to the county, but because the federal government does not want law enforcement agencies to receive this sort of property only to turn around and sell it, the vehicle will go back to the federal government when it comes to the end of its useful life.

Out of Control
Since the founding of this great nation, there have been many constant, unwavering ideals – the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, freedom of religion and the right to bear arms. One other unceasing and unyielding element in American life has been our personal right and the right of the government to incur debt – massive debt.
Currently, the national debt stands at $16,957,340,185,479. In case you are wondering, that's $16.9 trillion.
Elkins resident Donald Hansen – whom The Inter-Mountain featured on today's front page – brings about a valid point. How many people in this country even know what $16 trillion looks like in its numerical form?
Moreover, how many people truly know what impact this has upon everyday Americans? As a government shutdown looms this week, many people will find out first-hand what this astronomical number truly means.
From loss of jobs to the loss of the government's ability to obtain loans, the national debt and the current congressional budget battle is more closely linked than many realize.
The debt, though, hasn't always been so staggering.
In fact, in 1835-1836, America had no national debt whatsoever. In the 20 years following the War of 1812, the government had 18 budget surpluses. The federal government was able to overcome the massive debts resulting from the war to pay off the balance entirely in January 1835. From there, though, the debt began to steadily rise. Another war – the Civil War – resulted in a $2.7 billion deficit by the time Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House.
Years of surplus helped to pay down the debt, but war struck again. By the end of World War II, the debt stood at $251.43 billion, or 112 percent of the gross domestic product.
For years, the figure fluctuated between manageable and excessive, finally reaching epic proportions in 2001 – $6.369 trillion – and 2008 – $6.369 trillion.
At $16.9 trillion today, something has to be done.
Hansen, who became interested in the subject a year ago, has the right idea. To start with, he is pushing for education. What does the debt mean to the everyday American? What impact will this have on our future? Why is this number important, opposed to some made-up figure that doesn't really equate to anything in real life?
Unfortunately, we all are finding out what this means as prices rise for consumers, the mortgage industry continues to wane and gas hovers around $3.50 a gallon, never to fall below the $3 mark again.
Without action, the situation will not remedy itself. Education may be the first step, but trimming the fat in the nation's capital is an extremely close second.
Gone should be the days of unbalanced budgets. The budget should not only be balanced, but America's consumer-first, buy, buy, buy attitude must go.
Financially, this country is in bad shape. It is not going to get any better without sacrifices from not only the federal government, but from each and every American citizen.
It's time to economize and not be so free with the precious American dollar.
Hansen put it correctly when he said, "We all need to become a champion, and we all need called to arms to fight this battle. Education, learning more about this and voting are the only ways we have to fight back. This is extremely important for our future – all of us. This problem is not going to go away unless we do something about it now."
Today, The Inter-Mountain fires the first shot in this battle. Each Monday, we will print the total U.S. national debt on the bottom of the editorial page.
If education is the first step, then The Inter-Mountain is going to do its part. We want the everyday American to know how high the debt is and how much it has gotten out of control. Today, the debt is $16.9 trillion. Soon it will be $17 trillion and beyond. We must stop this now and contact our elected officials so that we all can get on the financial road to recovery.

Construction on East Blithedale begins today with the lane closure extending up to 50' in length, beginning at Amicita and heading west towards downtown. On Thursday, sewer line trenching will begin. This will cause a lane closure of 200'-300', beginning at Amicita and heading west towards downtown.
While East Blithedale will not be entirely closed to through traffic at any point, traffic will often be limited to one lane, and therefore delays and traffic congestion can be expected. Please be courteous to your neighbors and do not to cut through the residential side streets during the construction period. Add time to your trip amd plan an alternate route using Miller Avenue or Camino Alto if possible. See the detour map below:
