Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

Leading Warmists: All Weather Events Can Be Blamed On Man-Induced Climate Change
Here we go, two of the leading climate astrologers in the world, Joe Romm and Kevin Trenberth opine
(Climate Progress) An epic blizzard is bearing down on New England – fed in part by relatively warm coastal waters.
I asked Dr. Kevin Trenberth, former head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, to comment on the role climate change has on this storm. He explained:
He explained that it's the fault of you, dear reader, for failing to sell your fossil fueled vehicle and purchase a bicycle.
Like a baseball player on steroids, our climate system is breaking records at an unnatural pace. And like a baseball player on steroids, it's the wrong question to ask whether a given home run is "caused" by steroids. As Trenberth wrote in his must-read analaysis, "How To Relate Climate Extremes to Climate Change," the "answer to the oft-asked question of whether an event is caused by climate change is that it is the wrong question. All weather events are affected by climate change because the environment in which they occur is warmer and moister than it used to be."
So hot, cold, wet, dry, windy, not windy, snowy, not snowy, icy, sleet, hurricanes, no hurricanes, you name it, Mankind is responsible. Interestingly, Joe Romm goes on to whine about lots of precipitation events, but then Warmists like Joe also blame drought on "climate change." So, everything.
And let's not forget this fun email from Trenberth (this one is pretty stomach churning, too)
The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't.
Oh, and then there is this quote by Trenberth, which shows that AGW pushers shouldn't have to prove their "science"
Given that global warming is "unequivocal", to quote the 2007 IPCC report, the null hypothesis should now be reversed, thereby placing the burden of proof on showing that there is no human influence [on the climate].
And Warmists like Romm and Trenberth have worked hard to build a cult whereby nothing can disprove their beliefs.

According to Karnes County Attorney Herb Hancock, Deputy Jim Pearce resigned recently, but Hancock said he was not under investigation. Beyond that, Hancock declined to talk at this time about the circumstances which led up to Pearce's decision to step down.
"There are some unanswered questions," Hancock said.
Pearce, during an interview with The Karnes Countywide on Aug. 24, said he decided to resign on Aug. 14 after he found out that County Commissioner Pete Jauer had obtained copies of several private email messages that he had sent to a group of friends.
According to Pearce, Commissioner Jauer visited Pearce's home on Aug. 12 and showed him several emails and asked if someone had breached or hacked into his computer.
"That was it," Pearce said. "I didn't respond at all."
Pearce said he has been sending the emails regularly to keep different people up to date on various incidents and situations involving county officials.
"Information that was given to me," Pearce said. "I passed it on to people who I felt like care about the county and do not like to see the direction that the county judge... This is my own personal opinion, that she has made the laughingstock of our county, of 254 counties in the state of Texas," Pearce said regarding numerous personal conflicts he has seen develop between the county judge, other county officials and local residents.
Pearce said he could tell that Sheriff Dwayne Villanueva has recently been under a lot of pressure, with various controversies and recent investigations of officers employed by the sheriff's office.
Because of the current turmoil surrounding the sheriff's office, Pearce said that he felt it would be best for everyone concerned if he resigned from his position as deputy.
The reason he joined the department, Pearce said, was to help bring under control commercial truck traffic safety issues that have dramatically increased as a result of the development of oil and gas production as part of the development of the Eagle Ford Shale. Pearce worked for the sheriff's office as its special operations unit license and weights deputy.
"This is not the Mayberry RFD we used to live in two years ago," Pearce said. "This is a completely different world. My expertise came from the highway patrol and the trucks. I think in the last seven months I filed over a thousand cases, from overweight trucks, to trucks running stop signs."
Kyle Shaw, who is the husband of Karnes County Judge Barbara Shaw, shared with The Karnes Countywide a copy of one of the emails that Pearce sent. The email, dated May 16, had been forwarded from then Chief Deputy Russell Swize's business email account to the email account he used at the sheriff's office. Pearce confirmed the email was the same as one of the emails that was shown to him by Commissioner Jauer when Jauer visited Pearce at his home. Several county officials and county employees are among those listed as recipients of the emails. The first line reads, "This email is for the use of Patriot members only."
When asked how he obtained copies of the emails, Shaw said, "The copy of the email from Jim Pearce appeared like numerous others from Swize Insurance through an open records request."
The Karnes Countywide reached out to Commissioner Pete Jauer for comment regarding the emails.
Jauer said someone gave him copies of the emails, but he declined to reveal the identity of the person who gave them to him.

All things spooky and scary are coming to life at Universal Orlando.
Halloween Horror Nights is underway and offering everything from hundreds of zombies to a house full of werewolves.
One of haunted houses is called Cabin in the Woods.
"This house is insane. It's insane. The diversity of the characters we have in this maze is unreal," Halloween Horror Nights Creative Director Mike Aiello said.
Zombies threaten to attack Leon and Jill in the Resident Evil maze, which is inspired by the popular game.
Designers, technicians and directors have worked a year to bring eight mazes, scare zones and two shows to life. The goal is to terrify people in new ways.
"It's base human emotion. It's like happiness and joy. Being terrified is fun," Universal Orlando Senior Vice President of Entertainment Jim Timon said.
The iconic 1981 horror film "An American Werewolf in London" is recreated in detail. It's a secret how producers turn a man into a wolf.
"It's a very scary and kind of thrilling and fun maze, and I'm pretty happy with it," said John Landis, director of "An American Werewolf in London."
Halloween Horror Nights runs at Universal Orlando through Nov. 2.

The narrative is a reminder of the mysterious and frightening power of God. We may wonder at the reaction of the townsfolk. But we have gone so far out of our way to make Jesus user friendly, that often times he comes off more as "my pal Jesus" than the incarnation of the One who created the heavens and the earth, which makes Jesus more amenable to our will and control rather than being the one who lives and breathes in us and gives us life. We may also commiserate with the man from whom the demons were cast and want to remain contentedly at Jesus' feet rather than being sent out to witness to what God has done for us. But just as he was sent, so are we. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Thanks be to God.

State needs laws for safe gun useMarch 31,2014State needs laws
for safe gun use
Vermont has a long history of safe and appropriate gun use, as evidenced by generations of local hunters and sportsmen. In recent years, however, tragic misuse of firearms in our state is all too common.
The facts:
Vermont has the highest rate of gun deaths in New England twice that of Massachusetts.
States with safer gun storage laws have reduced accidental shootings of children by as much as 23 percent and have reduced suicides of adolescents by 8 percent.
Vermonts growing guns-for-drugs trade is being fueled by extreme accessibility of guns in our state. A 2009 study found that Vermont exports more guns per capita than any other state in the Northeast, and ranks 16th nationally.
Currently, Vermont has just one of 10 laws proven by other states to be effective in reducing gun trafficking.
Over the past 10 years, 50 percent of Vermonts homicides have been domestic violence related. In states that require a background check for private sales of handguns, 38 percent fewer women are shot to death by their intimate partners, compared to states like ours.
For more statistics, please visit GunSenseVT.org.
The evidence points to an urgent need for revision in Vermonts gun laws. With a few strategic changes, we can help secure our long tradition of safe and respectful gun use. Its time for universal background checks, tougher gun trafficking laws, safer storage laws, better communication between state agencies and the NICS Background Check System, and for bringing state laws in line with the federal law to prohibit felons from possessing weapons.
As a member of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship, Im committed to life-affirming, peaceful resolution to local and global issues.

Davis continues torrid paceAP Photo
Baltimore Orioles Chris Davis, right, celebrates his two-run home run at home with teammate Adam Jones during the second inning against the Tampa Bay Rays Thursday in St. Petersburg, Fla.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Chris Davis homered for the third straight day and drove in four runs Thursday to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 6-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Davis went 7 of 11 with three homers, three doubles and a major league-leading 11 RBIs in helping the Orioles win two of three games in the season-opening series. He drove in four for the second day in a row, hitting a two-run homer in the second inning and a two-run double that broke a 2-2 tie against Roberto Hernandez (0-1) in the sixth.
Adam Jones had three more hits, giving him seven in a series that saw the three-four-five spots in Baltimores lineup go 17 for 37 with four homers, six doubles, 13 runs scored and 15 RBIs.
Miguel Gonzalez (1-0) allowed two runs and four hits over 6 1/3 innings.
MINNEAPOLIS Mike Pelfrey pitched into the sixth inning in his Minnesota debut, Josh Willingham and Trevor Plouffe hit home runs and the Twins took the season-opening series from the Detroit Tigers.
Pelfrey (1-0) wasnt charged with any earned runs, taking the mound less than a year after Tommy John surgery. The former New York Mets first-round draft pick was given a 3-2 lead when Willingham and Plouffe went deep against Tigers starter Rick Porcello (0-1).
Four relievers kept the Twins in front for four innings, until they broke the game open with a five-run eighth against Brayan Villarreal. Tigers relievers gave up 10 runs over 10 innings in these three games.
Miguel Cabrera got another RBI, his fourth of the year, but the Tigers had another quiet afternoon at the plate.
CHICAGO Jeremy Guthrie struck out nine and gave up one run in six innings, and the Kansas City Royals snapped a two-game losing streak to start the season, beating the Chicago White Sox.
Guthrie (1-0) scattered five hits and walked one for Kansas City, which took its first lead of the season with three runs in the fifth inning and made it stick. Kansas City reliever Greg Holland worked the ninth for his first save.
Chicago right-hander Gavin Floyd (0-1) gave up four hits and two runs in six innings. He walked one and struck out five.
Gordon Beckham was 4 for 4 for Chicago, matching a career high set on May 12, 2012, at Minnesota.
OAKLAND, Calif. Josh Reddick and Yoenis Cespedes gave Brandon Maurer a rude welcome to the big leagues by hitting two-run homers off the Seattle rookie that led the Oakland Athletics past the Mariners.
A.J. Griffin (1-0) allowed two runs in six innings and John Jaso drove in a run against his former team as the Athletics won back-to-back games to earn a split of the season-opening series.
Michael Morse homered for the third straight day and joined Ken Griffey Jr. in 1997 as the only Mariners to homer four times in the first four games. But that wasnt enough as Maurer (0-1) struggled in his major league debut.
PITTSBURGH Travis Wood allowed one hit over six innings and the Chicago Cubs held off the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 on Thursday.
Wood struck out four and walked two as the Cubs won a season-opening series for the first time in four years. Wood also scored the games first run, racing home on Starlin Castros single in the third inning. Nate Schierholtz smacked a two-run homer in the ninth to give the Cubs some breathing room.
Chicago needed it after another shaky outing from Carlos Marmol. The closer picked up his first save of the season, but only after the Pirates drew within one. Pittsburgh had the tying run on third with no outs, but Pedro Alvarez struck out and Neil Walker hit into a game-ending double play.
NEW YORK Jedd Gyorko doubled in the go-ahead run in the fourth inning for his first major league RBI, and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Mets for their first win of the season.
Eric Stults (1-0) and five relievers combined on a five-hitter and struck out 14 for the Padres, who had not led in their first two games. Stults, who beat the Mets seven years ago for the Los Angeles Dodgers for his first big league win, made an opening-day roster for the first time.
Mets starter Dillon Gee (0-1) returned from shoulder surgery last summer and was nearly as sharp. He opened with a walk, then retired 10 in a row and wound up giving up three hits in 6 1-3 innings.
WASHINGTON Jordan Zimmermann worked around eight hits over six innings, Ryan Zimmermans three hits included a two-run double, and the Washington Nationals completed a season-opening three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins.
Jayson Werth tacked on a three-run homer in the seventh, and Bryce Harper had another eventful day, collecting two hits, taking an elbow to the face while scoring a run, and getting thrown out trying to steal third.
The defending NL East champion Nationals outscored the Marlins 11-1 in the series.
At least Miami finally got someone home, ending a 19-inning run drought in the second Thursday on Justin Ruggianos homer to right off Zimmermann (1-0). Wade LeBlanc (0-1) took the loss.
CINCINNATI Shin-Soo Choo homered on Joe Blantons first pitch of the game, the first of Cincinnatis three homers off the right-hander, and the Reds pulled away to a victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
The Reds took two of three during the first interleague series to open a season. Todd Frazier had a solo homer off Blanton (0-1), and Chris Heiseys two-run shot put Cincinnati up 5-3 in the fifth. Blanton gave up five runs and seven hits in five innings.
Bronson Arroyo (1-0) gave up three runs in six innings, including Josh Hamiltons two-run single that was his first hit for the Angels. Albert Pujols drove in a pair of runs with a sacrifice fly and a groundout.

Princess for a day
REEDSVILLE – Church Hill United Methodist Church has transformed its basement into a prom extravaganza for the fifth consecutive year. Starting in February, young ladies will once again be invited to the church's Cinderella's Closet to search for the perfect prom dress.
Cinderella's Closet works to provide girls with the chance to be princesses for a day. Kathy Macchiaverna began Cinderella's Closet in 2008 to help girls lower the cost of prom season and other special occasions.
Macchiaverna began Cinderella's Closet after hearing radio ads about a similar non-profit dress closet located in Williamsport. She noticed that her household had accumulated a large number of dresses from her daughters' past proms that are now unused. Macchiaverna wanted to be able to help girls who are unable to afford their own dresses, whether it be for prom, senior dinner dance or any other event.
People from Mifflin County and surrounding areas are able to come to Cinderella's Closet and select a dress, free of charge. Cinderella's Closet offers girls a wide selection of dresses in a variety of fabrics, colors and styles. Sometimes the closet even acquires brand new and vintage dresses from the 1950s. Macchiaverna said Cinderella's Closet is open to anyone, for any occasion, with no exclusions.
"Every girl should be able to have a gown they feel beautiful in," Macchiaverna said.
The reaction of those who attend Cinderella's Closet is that it is an amazing experience, she said. Macchiaverna said many girls are
surprised at the selection available to them. Many are dazzled by the assortment of beaded dresses, fluffy taffeta ball gowns and short flirty styles available. She said all of the dresses carried by Cinderella's Closet are very current.
More than 200 girls select dresses from the assortment every year with the help of Cinderella's Closet volunteers Timi Narehood, Nancy Mowery and Katie Mowery.
"It is a very pleasant experience," Macchiaverna said.
There are changing areas for girls to try on any dresses they desire. Family members are able to help them choose a dress with the help of floor length mirrors that are set up in the basement of the church.
The organization is always in need of additional gowns, especially in larger sizes in both new and used condition. Anyone can donate dresses to Cinderella's Closet.
The church also provides mending and cleaning for used dresses. Deb Reigle volunteers time to do light mending on used gowns and Sally Riden puts new zippers on many of the dresses that are donated. During its three years in existence, Cinderella's Closet has given away more than 700 dresses.
Macchiaverna said running Cinderella's Closet is a blessing. Many of the volunteers enjoy running the closet as much as the girls who take dresses home. She said all of the volunteers feel wonderful to provide this service to people.
"He laid it on my heart to do this," Macchiaverna said. "For as long as there is a need, I want to continue to do this."
Cinderella's Closet will be open from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays and Thursdays, Feb. 3 to March 24. Volunteers are also willing to work around schedules for girls who are unable to shop during regular hours.
Cinderella's Closet is always in need of more dresses for any occasion. Macchiaverna said it is wonderful to see people donate dresses to the cause.
For more information, contact Macchiaverna at 667-2004 or Narehood at 328-1170.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's animal disease traceability final rule took effect March 11 and local livestock owners are required to comply, according to Pat Calhoun president of Goliad County Farm Bureau.
However, the rule only affects cattle raisers selling cows or bulls over 18 months of age interstate.
"Livestock of this age will need a permanent identification number, as well as a certificate of veterinary inspection to verify that they are in good health," Calhoun said.
Details on the new federal tagging requirement can be found at www.aphis.usda.gov/traceability. Cattle sold within the borders of Texas fall under the Texas Animal Health Commission's tagging requirements, which can be found at http://www.tahc.state.tx.us.

A letter carrier's pepper spray typically used to fend off aggressive dogs accidentally went off inside a post office, sending three employees to the hospital to have their eyes flushed.
Workers in the Portland, Ore., post office first noticed that there was something wrong with the air quality and fled the facility. 911 was called and firefighters reported to the scene to deal with the chemical contamination, according to The Associated Press..
The spray used by mail carriers is a heavy-duty version of pepper spray known as bear spray. It is unknown how the spray was discharged inside the post office.

Freightliner Keeps RCR on Truckin
August 16, 2013
Each weekend, NASCAR fans watch the best drivers in the world compete for victory at race tracks around the United States. Across all three top-touring series, NASCAR holds a total of 93 races during a season that spans from February to November. NASCAR visits 23 states across the United States and Canada, leaving some to ask, how do teams get to the track each week?
At Richard Childress Racing, each team employs countless crew members to ensure their Chevrolet's are able to win, but getting to and from the race track is a different story. On any given weekend, RCR has up to eight trucks on the road transporting team equipment to and from the racetrack, Freightliner trucks that help make the job of a hauler driver easier during the 38-week season.
In a partnership with RCR that has lasted for years, Freightliner continues to pave the way in transporter comfort and service needs on the road. With the one goal in mind of getting to and from the race track each weekend, Freightliner assists in making sure each cab is in top shape. RCR utilizes 2009 Corondo cabs that are specifically built for the race team. Each cab on the Sprint Cup Series side features an extended cab, longer than a commercial cab, to maximize driver comfort. Features include a bed, small kitchenette and shower to make life on the road feel like a home-away-from-home. "It's like a little condominium, with the big sleeper and the shower," said Dennis Gammson, driver of the No. 29 Sprint Cup Series hauler "The comfort is incredible. The truck itself is also really nice. It's quiet, drives really smoothly and has a lot of power."
With a tight schedule, there is no time for anything to go wrong on the road. Most recently at Daytona International Speedway, the No. 2 Nationwide Series hauler driver Barry Sheppard (an 18-plus year veteran in the sport) was side swiped by another transporter entering the track. The result was a destroyed headlight. Sheppard contacted Freightliner, who in turn, had a headlight on a plane headed to the track the next day. By race day the cab was fitted with a brand new light. Normally, an incident like this would set travel schedule back, but with Freightliner's assistance, Sheppard was able to make the trip back to Welcome, N.C., following the race and stay on schedule for the quick turnaround for the series' next race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Whether RCR's haulers are traveling up the highway to Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, or across the United States to Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway, the durability of the eight Freightliner machines on the road each weekend leaves little for crews to worry about. What may seem like a small piece of equipment to the overall weekend, are crucial to the success of hauler drivers and teams on race day. With Freightliner's help and service many teams in the NASCAR industry are able to stay on schedule running coast-to-coast week in and week out.

text: I have a question about multivitamins and assumed this is the most appropriate section to post it in. Currently I take a regular Prenatal vitamin from Target, but I have been hearing that vitamins from Wal-mart, Target, etc are not really any good. I just wanted some opinions on what is best while breastfeeding. My LO is 4 months old now and I want to make sure I am taking care of myself, especially since I have started exercising again. Thanks in advance for the advice.


text: My 10 yr old dd and I woke up this morning with horrible nausea, vomiting and diarrhea (sorry, gross). I exclusively bf my 12 wk old and have continued to do so today. I haven't been able to eat and maybe only had a couple of sips of water without throwing it back up..anything i can take? I know this is a 24 hr bug since my 4 yr old had it a few days ago but i'm really concerned about not being able to eat. Elias seems fine but it worries me

This married former A list pop singer who now does some acting and some singing gave an interview talking about how she can't have children

Jinx, Basil! You owe me a cokeReplyCancel
Does proto mean multi, Gayeld? Or faux? Or just new?ReplyCancel
Whoever this is: it makes it seem like being unable to have children and/or adopting is a shameful thing. Which it absolutely is not. Sheesh.
Good for them, whoever they are.ReplyCancel
Aisha Tyler is a comic and actress, she's hilarious but she was never a pop star or anywhere near this rankingReplyCancel
@Violet: Aisha Tyler is hilarious: No Ass At all (caution, autoplay)ReplyCancel
@Gayeld, I absolutely agree with you. This isn't a blind, it's a brag.
It's Enty's way of reinforcing the trust of his readership, showing off his street cred (or gossip cred). So that when it happens we decide he has the goods and therefore believe anything else he says.
Love ya, Ents…xReplyCancel
was mandy moore a list ever though??ReplyCancel
I already stated, I'm pretty sure this Mandy MooreReplyCancel
She was A list for the tweeter set,ReplyCancel
Huge with MTV at that timeReplyCancel
Avril. I think she has been pregnant a couple of times recently and has lost them. I'm not a fan of hers (or him for that matter) but it's bad if this is the case and not a cover for some other BS story. It's also too bad that this has to be a cover story as millions of women go through the same situation and handle it with more dignity and grace than a kneepads cover.ReplyCancel

Anyhoo I am happy for her and hubby Ryan

@Nosy_Canuck, got to disagree with you there. Being able to share suffering is one of the chief benefits of celebrity. There are plenty of couples (or single women) in the same situation who will see themselves in this story, and be inspired by it.I don't think it's undignified at all.ReplyCancel

Anyone who chooses to adopt a child and give a home, love and a family to those children out there that need and want it have nothing but my utmost respect.
I'm not sure if it's the same now as it was 25-30 years ago but there are tons of checks and things you have to put up with that are generally quite annoying to be able to adopt. However, as annoying as all the checks and things are, it's all worth it the first time you lay eyes on that baby or child the first time. I'll never forget sitting on that tan couch with my Mom and Dad and seeing the door open for and the people at the adoption agency brought in
The wrong baby.
There was a mix up in what rooms they put my family and a black family in, they put us in the opposite room numbers. So when the door opened and they brought in a black baby (even though we had seen pictures of the baby we were getting), we didn't care. I still remember what my Dad said, "Well, we'll have a little WIllie McGee instead of another Jack Clark" and we all thought he was adorable and were ready to take him home when they brought in the other baby, my little brother. He was 12 days old and you couldn't ask for a cuter baby.
Anyway, this isn't blind worthy if they are going to announce it anyway. If they wanted to keep it private it still wouldn't be blind worthy, but if they are going to announce it they should be applauded for their choice.ReplyCancel
That's a great story, RowdyRod! Love how cool your dad was about the whole business, and I agree that giving a child a loving family and a home is a wonderful thing.ReplyCancel
Cool story, Rowdy.ReplyCancel
@nurysp, Leanne as in Crazy Batshit Rhyms (however she spells it)?? She did act. That's how she met Eddie Cibrian. I think it was a made for TV movie.
No innocent baby deserves those two for parents.ReplyCancel
Years ago my daughter (now 20) and I were discussing Mandy and I hadn't yet seen her act, only knew of her as a singer. My kid only knew of her as an actress. One thing led to another and she said, "Mandy Moore is a singer? " and I said "Mandy Moore is an actress? " Guess you had to be there but it was a REALLY funny moment in which we were both astounded.ReplyCancel
And then you hugged and adopted a pug? 🙂ReplyCancel
Mandy seems like a really cool person.ReplyCancel
Just wait until the Armenian Urinal hears about this, that'll be the next manufactured dramatic storyline drummed up by PMK.
"Kuntye and the Armenian Urinal have tried desperately to conceive a sibling for baby IgNori and her nanny for the last 12 years. So they have bravely made the selfless decision to do the humanitarian option that only a few saintly celebrities have chosen to do, just like the Jolie-Pitts!! They will definitely be adopting a French-Syrian refuge rebel combat baby that looks like Kim's third face."
What a sweet story @rowdy!ReplyCancel
I thought I read something recently about Leanne Rimes wanting kids?ReplyCancel

I Found a Huge Green Spider in My Garden!
Ever found a large green spider in your garden? Chances are, if you're in the Los Angeles area, the spider you've found is a Green Lynx Spider, Peucetia viridans.
Here's one that NHM staffer, Richard Smart, found in our Nature Gardens on Wednesday:
Photo taken by NHM's own Spider-Woman, Cat Urban.
This was perfect timing, as we desperately needed one for display in our Spider Pavilion, which opens to members today and to everyone on Sunday. As many of you know, this exhibit is a place to get up close and personal with spiders in a safe and garden-like setting.
To prime visitors for the experience of walking amongst hundreds of free, web-spinning spiders (that's right, the Spider Pavilion is an immersive...

Holy couch! Me-oh-my!
Where do I begin?
I belong to some newlyweds,
And I'm uglier than sin.
I wobble when I'm laid upon,
I creak when someone sits.
And as for my cushions,
Well, they're in the splits.
My Southwestern colors,
Are ugly and they clash,
And when you sit upon me,
You sink down on your…butt.
I'm definitely ancient,
And I've lost two of my feet,
A new couch for my owners,
Would be a well-deserved treat.
Please, please vote for them,
If you could be so kind.
Because if you think my front's not bad,
Just check out my behind!

Black Diamond Minerals selling Fort Collins wells
- published_in
- Today's News
The Denver company wants to sell the rights, titles and interest to the field in the Hearthfire subdivision, company CFO Ward Giltner said.
If it does not find a buyer, Black Diamond will hydraulically fracture six existing oil-producing wells.
The field, which has nearly 50 wells in all, has produced oil since the 1920s, Giltner said. Surrounding homes were built well after.
Black Diamond's property straddles the border of the city and Larimer County. The company paid $240,000 in property taxes last year, but that figure could double if additional wells were drilled there.
The money would fund schools, roads and other government services.

I'll make a new thread over here, as bubs is almost 4 months old. Holy cow! We've made it longer than I thought, especially in the thick of things. Yay us.
But I keep hearing that at some point, breastfeeding is actually not painful. Hmm. Really? I am finding this hard to believe. Not to be a martyr or anything, but I will stick with this as long as possible because it is the right thing to do, but dang it hurts like heck! Every suckle/bite is like sandpaper! My firm vow during pregnancy never to swear in front of my child has gone out the window because I curse like a sailor just about every time he latches on. I am growing to really hate breastfeeding and honestly I just count the days left like a prison sentence. Lately, too, he will bite, twist, scratch and pull on my nipples, sliding them out of his mouth and farting these epic farts, then fussing because he pulled a boob out of his mouth! After a few minutes of this I just have to unlatch him and put him down for a minute, it's just too painful.
He still wants to nurse every 45 minutes and I am fearful that I am just not making enough. But diaper count and growth seems to be good, so I can't figure. I guess I just want some sympathy and reassurance that for some women it just hurts. Grr.

By Sharna Johnson: CNJ staff writer
The Aryan Brotherhood is a white supremacist gang formed in San Quentin State Prison, Calif., in 1964.
The group was initially founded as a way of protecting white inmates from other prisoners in the prison system but has expanded its influence outside the prison system, according to the U.S. Department of Justice Web site.
In years since the group formed, it has engaged in drug and firearms trafficking among other illegal activities.
A federal indictment released Thursday accuses 19 people said to have connections to the Aryan Brotherhood of racketeering charges that allege the use of murder and other violence to solidify the prison gang's presence in New Mexico.
According to the indictment, the Aryan Brotherhood in New Mexico is considered a subchapter of the Texas Aryan Brotherhood.
There are two competing factions within the state, the indictment said.
District Attorney Matt Chandler said documented Aryan Brotherhood members are not common in eastern New Mexico.
Gang members are typically proud of their allegiance to the Aryan Brotherhood and do not hide it, Chandler said. Since the gang is prison based and most members are recruited while incarcerated, Chandler said they are easily documented while in and when exiting the prison system.

Shumlin: State's future hinges on early educationBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | October 30,2013Stefan Hard / Staff Photo
Anne Ricer of the A.D. Henderson Foundation speaks Tuesday at an early childhood education summit at the Capitol Plaza in Montpelier.MONTPELIER Providing universal early childhood education for all Vermonters will provide for a bright economic future for the state, Gov. Peter Shumlin said Tuesday at an early childhood summit he called for in January.
More than 250 people gathered at the Capitol Plaza Hotel on Tuesday for the daylong summit that served as the unveiling of Vermonts Early Childhood Framework, a document aimed at providing a comprehensive early childhood system for the state.
The framework is creating common goals and begins to create a common language across disciplines.
Shumlin called for Tuesdays summit in his second inaugural address delivered in January. A group of state officials and private stakeholders have since been creating the framework document, including a broad set of goals.
The goals are intended to reflect new ways of thinking about the role of funding, families, communities, the delivery of services and access to community resources.
Shumlin said his major goal is to usher a universal preschool bill through the Legislature when it reconvenes in January. The House passed such a measure last year but the Senate has yet to follow suit.
Were going to get it through the Senate and to my desk this year, Shumlin said.
The governor delivered a passionate address to summit attendees about the importance of development in children before the third grade. He said a greater focus, and getting everyone on board with the frameworks goals, will provide a boost to the state.
When youre governor, some things come from your heart and some things come from your head, Shumlin said. Every once in awhile the two meet. For me, this one is one where they happen to meet.
He added, I would argue that this is the most important work we can be doing together to make Vermont the first state thats exactly what this framework is setting up the first state where early childhood education, zero to first grade, or zero and on up, is as important or more important than the rest of the education experience.
The framework, Shumlin said, involved months and years of planning. But stakeholders from all sectors are now involved and recognize the importance of ensuring that all children have early opportunities to learn and develop, he said.
Where else would you find a business roundtable in a state that gets this piece of the future of economic development of a healthy state? he said.
Research shows that a childs early years play a major role in that childs later years, Shumlin said.
This is where we spend the resources, do the work and deliver the goods, he said. Thats our responsibility as Vermonters. Thats our responsibility in a democracy. This cuts (across) party lines. ... This is what should unite us as Vermonters.
The state spends a large amount of money to incarcerate people who commit crimes because of drug and alcohol addictions, he said. The vast majority of such offenders have difficulty reading, making it difficult to secure a job, he said.
Investing in early childhood education will eventually save money in the Department of Corrections budget, Shumlin said.
For that 54,000 (the annual estimated cost to house one inmate), you can take care of 12 or 14 or 18 young kids, get them the resources they need so they dont lose their self-esteem, so they succeed in school, so they have the self-confidence and the vision and the opportunity to make great things happen, Shumlin said. We will save a ton of loot.
Some summit attendees expressed excitement at the emphasis on early childhood education and care. Jeanice Garfield, a member of the Springfield School Board, urged her colleagues to take the framework document back to their own communities and share it.
In order to use it appropriately we need to be responsible for getting it out to our communities, Garfield said. I will take this back to my School Board, I will take it to my ecumenical council in Springfield, I will get this document to our Select Board. Ill take it down to the chief of police. Every person in the community needs to have that ownership.
Work sessions throughout the day were intended to start the process of creating an action plan to achieve the frameworks goals, said Monica Hutt, director of policy and planning for the Agency of Human Services.
The action plan will continue to be developed over the next few months, she said.

BSC's Regional Technology Conference Makes "The Virtual Connection"
CreatedFriday, May 04 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
|Dr. Thomas Blevins, Bluefield State College's Interim President, spoke during the opening session of a three-day Regional Technology Conference at BSC, detailing changes in educational technology, along with the impact of emerging technologies throughout higher education.
Bluefield)--Several area educators attended the first Bluefield State College Regional Technology Conference, April 25-27 at BSC. The conference, "Making the Virtual Connection" provided an opportunity to consider how the latest educational technology can be used in the classroom.
Dr. John Burton, Professor in Teaching and Learning at Virginia Tech, discussed his experiences in working with disadvantaged children and he detailed the future of technology and its application to help these students.
"The conference was structured to balance information sharing, targeted learning activities and collaboration with colleagues," observed Audrey Biggs, Interim Director/BSC's Virtual College.
Nancy Adam-Turner, BSC Staff Librarian, added, "Participants also explored examples of projects and best practices utilized at other institutions."
Dr. Myron Anderson, Associate Professor/Education Technology at Metropolitan (CO) State University, focused on the use of technology to advance diversity during his presentation at the conference. He observed, "The information received at the conference gave attendees theoretical and practical information to solve technological issues and apply technologies in their classrooms or at their institutions. This conference took a macro look at technology and provided a platform for the larger discussion of how can we use technology to advance our higher education mission."

Spring 2014 - 63780 - PA397C - Advanced Empirical Methods for Policy Analysis
Applied Regression
| Zarnikau, Jay
|Unique Number:
|Day & Time:
|W 6:00 pm -9:00 pm
|Waitlist Information:
|For LBJ Students: UT Waitlist Information
Course Overview
In addition to the Introduction to Empirical Methods course in the common core, MPAff students are required to take another three-hour course in quantitative analysis, selected from among a set of courses focusing on the application of quantitative theory and techniques to policy analysis. Topics offered vary from year to year but include econometrics, demographic techniques, systems analysis, simulation modeling, and quantitative indicator methods. As the second course in the two-course MPAff quantitative sequence, this course is intended to provide students with an in-depth understanding and hands-on experience with a specific quantitative method useful in policy analysis. This course is usually taken during the second semester of the first year.
Section Description
This class will explore how various regression modeling techniques can be used to study practical problems and issues in the social sciences and public policy.
The focus of this class is on statistical modeling concepts and how to analyze different problems and data sets. Little attention will be devoted to formal proofs and derivations. The content of this course will be very similar to an introductory Econometrics course, but we will use less mathematics than is typically used in the Economics Department.
Course topics will include:
- A review of basic statistical concepts
- Dealing with uncertainty in research and policy problems
- Modeling philosophy (the thought process behind setting up a statistical model)
- Software options (Excel and SAS will be used)
- Approaches to estimating relationships (e.g., least squares, likelihood estimation, Bayes law)
- Interpretation of regression statistics
- Hypothesis testing (from frequentist and Bayesian perspectives)
- Multivariate regression
- Variable selection, specification testing, and functional forms
- How to identify and address modeling problems (e.g., autocorrelation, multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity, omitted variables bias)
- Dummy variables
- Logit, Probit, Tobit, and Poisson models
- Basic index theory
- Time series approaches
- Forecasting techniques
- Causality
- A brief introduction to more advanced approaches, including non-parametric regression and simulation techniques.
Upon completing this course, students should be able to read, understand, critically interpret, and identify the strengths and limitations of many statistical studies encountered in policy reports and in the literature of the social sciences. The student should also be able competently analyze data sets using common statistical techniques.
This class is cross listed with SSC 385.002 which is the home department.

Lord of the rings
Inheritance cycle for me, keeps the reader guessing about what will happen next, which I think is brilliant to have in books as the reader attention isn't lost after reading.

I like both of em. Since Tolkien basically set the standard for almost every modern fantasy novel ever written, I have to side with LOTR.
I have to say Inheritance Cycle by default as well. I haven't got around to reading The Lord of the Rings yet. Or watching the movies for that matter. :/
I have to say Lord of The Rings Read the books and watched the movies, including the extend versions
And I have to say, they are some of the greatest movies I have seen and most awesome books I have read.
I love the inheartence cycle..Eragon FTW!!!
LoTR, by soooo much.
I enjoyed the Inheritance books somewhat, but it was way to cliche' fantasy, I didn't see anything from him that was really different from most fantasy books, whereas in the LoTR tolkin literally makes his own universe, from language, to geography, to history, whereas Paloni does do this, but not nearly as well, and his are kinda a rip off of tolkin's if you ask me.
Plus a lot of the inheritance was simply unwonted, I remember a full 30+ page chapter where the dwarf king is explaining this rock he is forming to eragon, and thats it, no more reference to it, just a waste of thirty pages. It seemed like those books could've been written in 300-400 pages and said the same story.
The rings lords win.. I don't have to explain why
