Learn about this Summer Paralympic sport
The game of boccia, sometimes known as bocce, comes from the Latin word for ball, "bottia." It is believed to have its origins in ancient Greece. The game is a target sport, or a sport in which the main objective is to hit a certain mark. Boccia tests an athlete's muscle control, accuracy and concentration. The event first appeared at the 1984 Paralympic Games, which took place both in New York City and in Stoke Mandeville, England. Men and women compete together as individuals, pairs and in teams of three. It is played by wheelchair athletes with varying disabilities.
Rules of the Game
Boccia is played on a rectangular court. The goal is to throw, kick or roll a ball so that it lands as close as possible to a white target ball, called the jack. Players can use a ramp if they are unable to throw or kick the ball. In a game, there are four or six "ends," or phases. At the start of an end, each player, pair or team gets six balls. The closest ball to the jack scores one point. Additional points are given for every ball that sits closer to the jack than the opponent's closest ball.

What good is a doll that isn't played with? That's what Thea Taube thought as she looked at the American Girl doll sitting on a shelf in her office. Taube is a children's librarian at an East Village branch of the New York Public Library. "She looked lonely," Taube told TFK. "I thought, Why not lend her out and let kids enjoy her? A book needs to be read and to go out to have value. It's the same with a doll."
Check Her Out
Taube started sharing Kirsten in 2004. Over time, word spread about the opportunity to temporarily adopt the doll. "I was 4 when I first saw her on Ms. Thea's desk," says Flora Sobrino, 11. She is one of Kirsten's caretakers.
Flora didn't take the doll home until she was older. "I was 6 when I became interested in American Girl dolls," she says. "Since I didn't have a doll of my own yet, I took Kirsten home."
Toy-sharing lets children play with something they might not be able to own. A doll like Kirsten costs $110. Many families either can't afford that or choose not to spend so much money on a toy. "Kids grow out of their toys so quickly," Taube says.
The toy-lending idea is catching on. "I had a phone call from a woman in Rhode Island who bought two dolls for her local library," says Taube. Maybe one day, Kirsten will be part of a community of well-loved dolls traveling from libraries to homes.

Yesterday, I checked a few hives that were a little low on stores. With the temps were close to 55 degrees, I decided to open a hive that I thought was dead and being robbed. To my surprise was still hanging on. This was a russian queen that I had purchased in summer of '07. As I was moving some honey closer to the cluster, I saw the queen still marked from 2007. I had not seen her at all last fall. With their reputation of swarming, I thought she was long gone.
Also got into a colony that was a late swarm from last fall (Sept 15th or so). It never really built up and I thought it to was dead. Not only did it survive, but to my surprise it was really boiling over with bees.
Fed them both, gave them a half of pollen patty, and now all I can do is hope they will make the rest of the winter.

Well, if you are going to start talking about bias ply tires then clearly the best mud tires are boggers. But I have yet to see a bias ply tire that is road friendly and lasts very long. Even TSL Radials IMO are a bit too aggressive for the road.

One of my trucks 98 silverado 2500 had interco super swamper radials 265/80-16 (tall skinny tires) and they were siped. they were great in the mud and fields and handled the road great too even on icy and wet conditions. the drawback is that they are VERY noisy and only good for about 30,000 miles and then they are shot. I could not comment on fuel economy as this was a 454 and is in the 13mpg range all the time.
98 with swampers
the goodyears are not that great on icy roads due to the harder tread compound but work good in the dirt and mud and last a long time. My dads MT's have over 50,000 on them and are still good for this year.
My 01 HD with cooper ST's
I did a lot of research and found that the **** Cepek MT's (now owned by Micky thompson) get the best OVERALL ratings for off road and on road performance in both mud and icy conditions and wear very well. I planned on putting these on my truck but at $200 each I decided on Toyo's which also have a great rating. they also have a 500 mile try it warranty. if you do not like them than they will refund your full purchase price and you can go with something different.
The Toyo's so far have impressed me, Better gas milage but a rougher ride (10 ply load range E). with my coopers and the 8.1l engine just taking off from a corner on gravel they would slip quite a bit. these toyos seem to grip a LOT better with no slippage. only time will tell if I made a good choice.

text: With the buzz growing louder about another Spice Girls reunion, it was only a matter of time before someone got Victoria Beckham on the record telling the world she wouldn't do it. That time has come. Victoria said in an interview that the London Olympics reunion was it for her. She says it was the perfect time to end the group and that sometimes you need to learn when to leave the party. Of course if she hadn't married David Beckham and used his name and influence to start her own fashion line and succeed at that she would probably be the first one lining up to play another reunion tour. She doesn't have any other talent or way to make money. Yes, she is a good designer but she needs to be honest and realize that without the Spice Girls she doesn't meet David Beckham and doesn't get the chance. What about her former partners? Mel B does great and I think Geri has enough money from other umm gigs that she is going to be fine but that still leaves Mel C and Emma B. What's wrong with making the party last? I think it's because she's trying to pretend it never happened. cc: Justin Timberlake.


text: Anyone who hates the Yankees has to live with the fact that their team can never catch the Yankees in World Series wins, ever in their lifetime. It seemed not too long ago, a Giants fan would have to accept that they might never hear their team mentioned among the likes of Dallas, San Francisco, Green Bay, or Pittsburgh. But now, it seems they're right there - and a good number of our standout players are fairly fresh in the NFL! Is it realistic to think many of us will someday see the Giants at the top of this list?

Former University of Colorado President Alexander E. "Sandy" Bracken knows a few things about the role that effective leadership plays in career success and life in general.
As the Newton Leadership Chair at CU-Boulder, Bracken has the task – and desire – to bring more leadership training and development opportunities to students across all academic disciplines. One of the major components of this goal is the creation of the Newton Leadership Studies Minor, which will launch in the spring 2014 semester along with a new class (LEAD 1000) titled "Becoming a Leader."
"The vision we outlined for the Newton Leadership Chair from the first day was to establish a campuswide culture of leadership development crossing all academic disciplines, colleges and programs," said Bracken. "The Leadership Studies Minor will build upon the excellent work of CU's existing campus leadership programs while expanding the reach of leadership development across all academic disciplines, thereby impacting many more students. Offering LEAD 1000 and the launch of the Leadership Studies Minor is a significant milestone that will further elevate CU-Boulder's reputation in leadership education."
Associate Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education Michael Grant echoed Bracken's desire for CU-Boulder to be recognized for its leadership education. "We have a real opportunity here to take all of the many approaches and theories to leadership and provide our students context in which to exercise leadership no matter their chosen discipline," Grant said. "The minor creates a stronger credential with employers and provides a real value to our undergraduate students."
"Becoming a Leader," the new foundations class for the Leadership Studies Minor, will serve as an entry point into the coursework. The goal of the class is to begin preparing students to exercise leadership in business, government, nonprofit organizations and community and civic activities. The course is organized around five major themes: what it means to be a leader; research perspectives on leadership; the personal side of leadership; leaders as relationship builders; and leaders as social architects.
Gordon Riggle, a lecturer in the Leeds School of Business and an accomplished leader in government, business and the military will teach the "Becoming a Leader" course. Riggle's professional experience includes commanding the destroyer USS Kinkaid, working in the White House and U.S. Senate, and strategic planning and business development for Ball Aerospace. He also teaches other leadership courses at CU-Boulder, including "Global Issues in Leadership."
"We will introduce a variety of leadership theories in this course but throughout we will emphasize how to apply them in the real world," Riggle said. "We will discuss why demographic changes in our society and globalization require leaders who are mindful of cultural differences and inclusive in their leadership patterns. By combining theory with practical examples, the course will provide useful guidelines for students who want to be leaders of the future."
Curriculum development for the minor is being led by Bracken in collaboration with the existing leadership programs and their faculty, as well as other CU-Boulder faculty and staff. "Becoming a Leader" will be offered through the Leeds School of Business and is open to all students regardless of their academic major beginning in the spring semester. It is expected to take two academic years to have the entire minor curriculum fully developed and offered in its entirety to students.
Completing the leadership minor will require 15 to 17 credit hours of leadership studies coursework, including the foundations course and a capstone course with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
The new minor is part of a larger plan to help broaden student opportunities to learn about leadership. Bracken has worked for the past year and a half to increase leaders' visits to campus, and to highlight leadership opportunities, including developing a speaker series with the Alumni Association on campus.
"The need for effective and ethically based leadership has never been greater," Bracken said. "We believe that the Leadership Studies Minor will be an important addition to any student's academic program and that it will enhance student success upon graduation in whatever their chosen field."

The apartment was awsome with amazing views to the river, they also offer you a transfer service for a good price. I will recommend to everyone!!
Location is really near to the city centre.
The apartment is spacious and the beds are nice. But unfortunately these tops are in contrast to the flops: furniture is old and dirty. Kitchen misses a lot of stuff.
The bathroom is the worst thing: dirty, old, fungus, broken toilet and sink. No showercurtain in bath so everything gets completely wet.
Blankets and sheets on the beds are dirty. Broken and dangerous wall sockets.
Nice appartment and very well located.
Perfect location! And the front door was fixed immediately when I called and told them it was almost falling out of the frame. This is clearly an appartment if you don't care if things look worn down, and are not very picky about how the shower looks. In other words; To be used for sleeping and luggage storage.
Great apartment with lots of spare. Placed just 5 minutes from Undergrund Aldgate East. Tesco Express next to underground and very nice restaurant Old Moe's.
Nice and quiet area with nearly No traffic.
Checking in was easy and Illona at the office was very helpful.
We will be back for sure and give this place our best recommandations.

It was an awesome weekend in Prague and so was the appartment too!!! We got exactly that what we booked and what we saw on the pictures. The communication was kindly and we got answer within one day. I can just recommend this appartment and the team around of Katarina.
Thank you
Apartment and location were pretty good. Wifi is horrible, there are couple of stairs and specially getting the keys is very complicated. Is not that easy for someone who arrives the first time to get them in a place far from the apartment. Plus flat wasnt B21, was B12 so its kind of confusing.
The apartment was perfect! It was clean, big and very closed to the city centre and to the San Venceslao square. We were in 7 adults and there was enough space for all of us. Nothing negative to say. I will return in this apartment during my next trip in Prague.

I'm confused. I know that all the potential Republican candidates are basically competing on the airwaves to see who can bash Obama best. However, Michele Bachmann has tacked on some promises to her usual President bashing in this video that I'm don't think she intends to keep.
"This president has failed the Hispanic community. He has failed the African-American community," she said. "He has failed us all when it comes to jobs." Um, just because your intern looked up some statistics online, does mean you understand the impact of joblessness in minority communities.
- Is this how she appeals to Blacks and Latinos? I guess we're dumb enough to just believe numbers and not consider the context of our lives or who's talking, huh?
- Does she really, really intend to be a jobs champion for Blacks and Latinos?
- Is equality and job creation in minority communities what the Tea Party has been fighting for all this time? If so (you know that's not so) that message has not been clear at all.
I'm very confused. Is she running for President of the USA or President of the NAACP? Is she trying to present at the next Alma Awards? Please!! People will say anything to get a vote.

Digital Watchdog to Launch 4K Camera, Partners With Linear
At ISC West 2014, Digital Watchdog announced its technology plans and its collaboration with Linear to an integrated access control and video surveillance solution.
By Rodney Bosch · April 11, 2014
Digital Watchdog arrived at ISC West to spread awareness for its MEGApix IP technology. Featured is a new line of solutions, including IP cameras, NVRs, encoders, hybrid recorders and IP video management (IPVM) software.
The company's IP cameras transmit data and receive power via PoE, eliminating the need to run separate cables for power and control. The hook here is removing the complexity of network-powered devices with features like universal plug and play (UPnP), while maintaining premium image quality and feature sets, as well as affordability.
The ONVIF-compliant MEGApix family of cameras support two-way audio, remote auto focus and optical zoom, programmable privacy zones and much more. Ian Johnston, CTO of Digital Watchdog who joined the company following its acquisition of ISD, a company he founded, told me the company will add a 4K ultra HD camera to its portfolio later this year.
Meanwhile, Linear has collaborated with Digital Watchdog to produce the e3 OneBox, integrating access control and video surveillance into a single solution that's billed as easy-to-install, scalable and chockablock with features for enhanced security management and monitoring. No longer do installing security contractors and their end customers have to contend with two different systems for managing access control and video, Nick Brown, a PR/marketing specialist for Linear, told me.
The e3 OneBox, a Linux-embedded appliance, comes with either four or eight channel analog video inputs with storage configuration options ranging from 500GB to 2TB. A full suite of Digital Watchdog remote applications are available, including video management options for smartphones, tablets, browsers and more.

Original Cool on the Lower East Side
Blue Moon Hotel • New York, NY
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Luxury Room ($360)
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two in a Quintessential Room ($420)
- Complimentary Continental Breakfast
- Bottle of Wine Upon Arrival
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Three Nights
The Destination
Manhattan's Lower East Side, or simply "LES," is a microcosm of the borough's motley, transplant culture and ravenous apetite for cutting-edge cool. In the city that never sleeps, the neighborhood offers 24-hour action, not to mention that elusive, exclusive something. By day, LES falls in step with its surrounding neighborhoods, where high-rise buildings, prestigious museums, and foot traffic dominate the sidewalks. After dark, however, tastemakers slip into critically acclaimed restaurants—which skyrocket to foodie stardom and often burn out just as quickly—and scruffy 20-somethings line up to enter bass-thumping dance halls.
The Digs
Tell your cabbie "Orchard and Delancey Streets, please" and you'll be delivered to the Blue Moon Hotel smack in the center of the Lower East Side. In a nod to its first life as a late 19th-century tenement, the 22-room boutique hotel mingles period artifacts with luxuries like soaking tubs and wet bars in its apartment-style accommodations. Such eclectic history presents itself everywhere you look: Rooms bear the names of old Hollywood stars and are decked out with original wood shutters, moldings, and wrought-iron bedsteads.
The Diversions
• New Museum
• Katz's Deli
• The Stanton Social
• The Meatball Shop
• The Tenement Museum
• The Highline
"Set on the Lower East Side's main thoroughfare, this 22-room brick guesthouse—originally built as a tenement in 1879—perfectly embodies its quirky, eclectic home neighborhood."-- Travel + Leisure

I saw the "REDSKINS WIN!" thread and felt the need to start another from a fan that isn't delusional and actually understands football. No doubt this is the scariest game of the season for us. We have yet to face a defense like the Giants have and you guys can put up points and in a hurry (which our defense is no stranger to this season!). I definitely think we always have a chance to win with RG3 at the helm this year, but am not going to blow it out of proportion and act as if we're just going to walk over what may be the best team in the NFL right now.
That being said, I think a lot of the NFL still has the idea that RG3 is just a college-style QB who is just lucky and/or overrated. What I think is missed is he leads the league with a 70+% completion percentage, 100+ QB rating (2nd to only P. Manning) and I believe also leads the league in yards per completion. He's deadly accurate on the run and incredibly patient and fearless to just stand in the pocket and deliver a pass. Not to mention, he's done this with virtually all no-name receivers with Garcon being out almost the entire year. Add Morris and a shockingly good O-line to the equation and you have a very dangerous offense...which we aren't used to here in Redskins land!
Of course, then you have our defense (ugh). Luckily, they're far better in the redzone than I think they're given credit for, so if they can force you guys in to long drives and eliminate the big play (ala Mr. Cruz), they may have a shot at keeping this close going in the final minutes. The Giants have weapons all over the place, so our front 4 will need to get pressure and fast to keep it from getting out of hand.
I'm at work or I'd be more detailed and I apologize if anything is off/inaccurate as I wrote this in a hurry.
All-in-all, can't wait for this game and best of luck to you guys!

Reviews of this property
Good sized apartment not far from the centre. We arranged for off street parking with Gregory, and we had no problems with our stay. The apartment is in a quiet area, and I do not remember hearing any aeroplanes!
The flat is very nice and not so far. The only problem is getting back after 1 am, but it is not owner´s fault, it´s the Bruxelles public transport. We had a nice experience.
We're totally begeistert.10 floor. Super views of Brussels and who loves airplanes, a must. This fly over the house. It is not even annoying. All nice and eager to help. Apartment Perfect! We recommend. Thanks and best regards!
Wir sind total begeistert.10 Stock. Super Aussicht über Brüssel, und wer Flugzeuge liebt, ein muss. Diese fliegen direkt übers Haus. Es ist noch nicht mal störend. Alle nett und bemüht zu helfen. Wohnung Perfekt! Sehr zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße!
Fast and accurate response, synchronization easier for our arrival, very welcome there.
Pleasant and spacious apartment., Near shopping and nearby tram station.
Réponse rapide et précise , synchronisation pour notre arrivée facilitée , très bon accueil sur place.
Appartement spacieux et agréable ., commerces proches et station de tram à proximité.
We only slept one night in the appartment of Gregory, but everything was very ok. A neighbour gave us the key and Gregory was previously very helpful in answering our questions. The next day we were soon at the airport. Very handy!
We stayed for just one day, but the floor is huge, fully equipped and with good views, also the owner very attentive. Thrilled with the price / quality ratio.
Solo estuvimos un dia, pero el piso es enorme, completamente equipado y con buenas vistas, además el dueño muy atento. Contentisimos con la relación precio/calidad.
The apartment is very nice, well located 5 minutes walk from a tram stop which leads to the center of Brussels in 20 minutes. and well equipped and Gregory is very attentive to everything that happens in good conditions.
The only negative is the passage of airplanes early in the morning, but we did not hear in the middle of the night Aside this, the apartment is very quiet.
In conclusion, we had a great stay in Brussels
L'appartement est très agréable, bien situé à 5 mn à pied d'un arrêt de tram qui conduit au centre de Bruxelles en 20 mn. et bien équipé et Grégory est très attentif pour que tout se passe dans de bonnes conditions.
Le seul petit bémol, c'est le passage des avions de bonne heure le matin, mais nous n'en avons pas entendu au milieu de la nuit, Hormis ce point, l'appartement est très calme.
En conclusion, nous avons passé un très bon séjour à Bruxelles
Our family consists with 3 kids stayed here for 1 night and this place is ideal for small family.
Greg assisted us to meet and get the key from caretaker. She is a nice lady although I couldn't understand her french at all :-).

LG Display: Citi Sees Second-Half Profit Pickup, Favorable ForEx
Citigroup analyst Henry Kim today pounds the table for shares of LG Display (LPL), writing that the company has a lot to look forward to in the second half, as operating profit is set to beat Street consensus based on new mobile device screen shipments.
Kim raised his estiamte for this year to $23.15 billion in sales, and $1 per share in earnings per American Depository Receipt from a prior $23.03 billion and 98 cents. Even though his new estaimte for revenue is below the Street, at $24.85 billion, his EPS estiamte is higher than the consensus for 80 cents.
Part of that is because Kim raised his expectation for the Korean Won's appreciation versus the dollar to an exchange rate of 1,031 Won to the dollar, up from a prior 1,015 Won. For 2015, he models $23.31 billion in revenue and $1.15 per ADR, versus a prior $23.21 billion and $1.13. That compares to consensus for $26.13 billion and $1.04.
The valuation is attractive, writes Kim, and worries about the TV panel business are overblown, he thinks:
Attractive entry point at trough valuation — LG Display ADR price at trough valuation of 0.7x 14E PB reflects market fears of ongoing deterioration of TV panel dynamics or a potential drastic market-share loss in premium mobile panel, in our view. Any ADR-price weakness on near-term trough earnings and potential negative money flow on the JDI IPO in 1Q14E would enhance the buying opportunity, in our view. Key positive catalysts should be 1) deceleration or eventual stabilization of commodity TV panel pricing and 2) LGD's differentiated operation with seamless mix shift to premium (LTPS, OLED, flexible display) panel.
Things get better for LG Display the second half of this year, he writes:
Sequential recovery in 2Q14E: Volume growth with stabilized pricing — Despite a typical Apple (AAPL) premium mobile panel correction ahead of new product launches in 2H14E, we forecast sequential OP improvement to $0.10 billion in 2Q14E, along with non-mobile (TV/MN/NB) shipment growth for new model launches under stable pricing (high-end panel mix improvement) and lower depreciation burden.
LG Display shares today closed up 77 cents, or 7%, at $11.68.

She needs to be stopped.
We know her out here behind the lines. You need to help us now. Or you will suffer what we have suffered since she was first elected.
Sen. Feinstein has released a summary of her legislation banning popular semi-automatic firearms. The proposal is far more restrictive than the 1994 ban and includes NFA registration of popular semi-auto firearms.
She needs to be stopped.
We know her out here behind the lines. You need to help us now. Or you will suffer what we have suffered since she was first elected.
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower
the fricking communists are on the march!
Senator Dianne Feinstein is pushing for legislation to have all Pittbull dog put down, She says they look like and are fighting dogs that have no place in a civilized society. Other dogs that could be effected are Doberman Pinscher and Rottweilers. Pass along to stop the eradication of something because of a LOOK.
THIS IS MADE UP, but I bet it would get people all fired up saying "Thats not right"
I dont care, I posted it on FB
Pryotex is TEC Tactical, A Licensed 07/SOT
What does it say the penalties for not registering (if her bill passes) are? Same as now?
So lets say overnight I suddenly go from having perfectly legal (even in california) semi-automatic rifles, to being in illegal possession of unregistered super deadly, posionous razor tipped evil assault weapons...whats the penalty?
"I built this firearm with the intent of passing it on to my son when he is old enough". Sorry, you must now turn it in to the government, along with probably 90% of yyour estate, inheritance tax and all. WTF.
Too much, and too far. These upper crust law makers are out of control.

"The watercolor texture & weight of the paper, coupled with the classic design and card shape was a perfect fit for the nostalgic look for which I was searching. My daughter loved it as well."
"I'm so happy with these invitations. The animals on it are so cute. The paper is really thick. The quality is just great. The delivery was also very quick. I liked how I could write a little note on the back of the card."
"I came across this product while I was googling farm-themed invitations for my daughter's second birthday party. I instantly fell in love and knew I had to place an order. My order arrived so quickly and, I have to say, the invitations are so precious. I've received nothing but compliments, which is nice, but I'm most excited to have such a sweet and beautiful keepsake for my child's baby book. In this time of print-it-yourself, digital this, and electronic that, it is really nice to have a professionally created, tangible memory that will last for years."
"I fell in love with this design online, and I'm pleased to report it looks even better in person. The print quality ensures that all the hand-drawn aspects of the design show up in vivid detail. The paper is slightly textured, and I opted for rounded corners which adds a soft touch. Perfect for my daughter's petting zoo themed party."
"For my son's first birthday, I wanted the theme to be a simple farm style party. I wanted the party to have a subtle farmhouse flavor with vintage flair... These cards were the perfect accent to his party. The card stock is heavy, the color combination and subject matter exquisite.... Everyone who got one was raving about them! The only issue that I encountered was a serious lag in delivery time with these because they must be "reviewed by a designer.""

Reality Check: Ad Compares Doyle To Nixon
Ad Highlights Contributions, State Contracts
MADISON, Wis. - In the down and dirty campaign for governor, a new political TV ad on the air in Wisconsin compares Democrat Gov. Jim Doyle with notorious President Richard Nixon.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
In the ad, fake news reports alleging ties between campaign donations and state contracts are separated with infamous quotes from Nixon such as, "Well, I'm not a crook."
The Coalition for America's Families is running the commercial statewide. The group is led by former state Republican Party Chairman Steve King.
UW Political Science professor Charles Franklin said the Nixon component is interesting.
"[It's] ironic coming from Republican supporters that they would use Nixon," Franklin said.
"It's also interesting that Nixon is entirely in black and white. I believe we had color television in those days," Franklin said. "When you want to show your opponent in a bad light you switch to black and white."
The ad highlights questionable contributions made by citizens involved in the bidding for state contracts. Some donors received the work, others didn't. Doyle hasn't been charged with any crime and has denied donations have any influence over who gets a state contract.
But Franklin said that's exactly why Nixon is used in the ad.
"The 'I'm not a crook' line from Nixon is a classic example of a politician telling you one thing and then something else turning out. The rhetorical linking of Nixon to Doyle where there's absolutely no real world connection is smart political strategy. It's not necessarily excellent history," said Franklin
Beyond the Nixon part of the commercial, the ad makes three claims.
In the ad, a female announcer says, "State official Georgia Thompson was convicted of steering a contract to Doyle contributors. State and federal prosecutors are continuing to investigate Doyle's administration." A WISC-TV analysis of the ad found that claim "needs clarification."
Georgia Thompson was convicted of illegally steering the travel contract to a Doyle donor, but prosecutors didn't charge anyone else, including Doyle. And while the investigation remains open, it doesn't mean more charges are expected.
In the next fake news account, a male announcer tells viewers, "In other news, Schiffrin gave $10,000 to Doyle the same day he met with Doyle's top aide to discuss a contract." WISC-TV finds this part of the ad is "true."
Then-Department of Administration official Marc Marotta met with Philadelphia-based attorney Richard Schiffrin who wanted a state contract working on a lawsuit. The contract was awarded to another firm but Schiffrin did donate $10,000, the maximum under the law, to the Doyle campaign the same day as the meeting.
Finally, the last claim is "true," according to WISC-TV: "Employees of a firm that received the $68 million contract contributed $51,000 to Doyle," said a female announcer in the ad.
The contract was to renovate a building near the UW-Milwaukee campus. The amount of donations is true, but some of the campaign cash was given before the project was even up for bid.
Overall, Franklin said it's tough to know if these donations help get contracts.
"The question is, 'Is there are basis for these allegations beyond the fact that they simply smell bad," said Franklin. "I have absolutely no idea what the truth is in terms of whether there are direct favors for these types of contributions."

By Jordan Gribble / Special to the American Press
The Home Builders Association of Southwest Louisiana will hold its 2013 Home Show 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 13, in the Lake Charles Civic Center.
Admission will be $5 per person, with children 10 and under admitted free.
Vendors will exhibit everything needed to build or renovate a home, including cabinets, appliances, flooring, pest control and security systems, said Vicki Broussard, executive officer for the Home Builders Association of Southwest Louisiana.
"The show has 110 vendors who are experts in their individual fields and are offering products and services for people all in one place instead of having to go to all these different vendors and stores and such when undergoing a remodel," she said.
"We have a lot of things that are on the cutting edge of decorating and remodeling that they can see all under one roof."
Broussard said the event offers a convenient way for people to shop and get the information they need.
The show, which is in its 22nd year, has grown exponentially, in contrast to similar events elsewhere, she said.
"Some of the other home builder associations have had to cancel their home shows over the last couple of years because they didn't have enough anticipation from vendors and the public, but our show just continues to grow," Broussard said.
"Lake Charles is an exception because we are having a housing boom because of the influx of people coming in and needing this stuff. Our show is still doing really well."

The Vapid Bullet GT is a supercar featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto V.
Closely related to the Bullet, a similarly designed sports car from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Bullet GT shares similar design cues with the Ford GT like the waterfall hood scoop and body shape. The louvers over the rear windscreen are more similar to those featured on the Lamborghini Miura, while the plush interior, which features sport bucket seats finished in tan leather, is derived from the Grotti Turismo.
Much like various newly designed cars in TBOGT, the car lacks external badging indicating its manufacturer; however, police chatter refers to the car as a "Vapid Bullet GT" in the same vein as the Ford GT.
The Bullet GT has a top speed of at least 165 km/h (103 mph), and is arguably the fastest car in TBOGT, butting heads with the Comet, Turismo, Police Stinger and Coquette. The Bullet GT has a neutral handling set up and is extremely balanced. The Bullet GT is also fairly durable compared with other super cars, especially the fragile Comet.
Unlike the real Ford GT, which has a relatively low-revving (compared to European cars) supercharged 5.4L V-8, the Bullet GT's engine is naturally-aspirated and high-revving. In contrary to all these high quality aspects, the revving can sometimes cause the car to loose control when turning or beginning to drive which usually can become a disadvantage in events such as racing. To prevent this, the car is normally driven with caution in mind.
- In "No. 3", one of the goals is to get to 140 mph (225 km/h) with this car. However, that speed can only be reached if the nitro is used, allowing the car to reach a maximum speed of 250 km/h. This is the only instance in the game when the car can achieve this speed.
- When Luis calls Henrique requesting this car, Luis will only refer to it as the "Bullet" instead of "Bullet GT".
- The Bullet GT plays either Electro-Choc or Radio Broker by default when entered.
- As a traffic spawn
- Commonly spawns in Algonquin, especially the southern half of the island.
- Fairly common in Alderney.
- More common in multiplayer around these locations than in single player.
- In missions and side-missions
- A unique white and red Bullet GT is featured in the mission "No. 3". To keep it, abandon Mori and Brucie.
- Used during Triathlons. The player can obtain a unique green and black Bullet GT in this event.
- Used in the Drug Wars as a vehicle packed with drugs. Many of these have special paintjobs not seen anywhere else.
- Other methods
- Henrique Bardas can acquire one for the player after "No. 3".
- Can be spawned using a cheat code, by dialing "227-555-9666" on the phone.

Music Review: Warm Nothing by So Many Wizards
So Many Wizards release their first album Warm Nothing.
It's hard to imagine that the man behind the self-proclaimed "bedroom pop" act So Many Wizards began his life in America after fleeing violence-stricken Iran by traveling through Europe, South America, and living a month in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica. Nima Kazerouni has been working under the name So Many Wizards since moving to L.A., and now, with seasoned veterans of L.A.'s vibrant DIY scene Erik Felix, Geoff Geis and Frank Maston backing him up, Kazerouni has released his debut album, Warm Nothing.
From his eccentric vocals at the forefront, you can tell his music has shifted from a way to cope with his anxiety-ridden childhood to expressing the bubblegum pop lifestyle one may expect from living in L.A. Each track flows effortlessly to the next through the sickly-sweet synths, the taps of percussion and the twanging bass lines accompanying the dreamy lyrics, which hopefully allude to Kazerouni's now carefree life. The track "Inner City," whose music video hit the internet late last year, may be short and sweet but is a perfectly crafted indie pop track. Great hooks, clangy guitar riffs and tribal tom drums back up Kazerouni's eclectic voice as he sings, "Smile at your neighbor, smile at the paper/everything is going to change." Another song we kept going back to on the album was "Lose Your Mind," a track that is best listened to outside on a porch, drinking an ice-cold beer, contemplating summer hijinks with friends.
All in all, Warm Nothing is pretty good. With a band that has such a particular sound, it's hard not to produce an album with tracks that are all the same. Repetitive riffs may be a fault in this album, but with only one song that passes the three-minute mark and the entire album clocking in at about thirty minutes, they understand the importance of not overdoing a good thing. The band just came back from their first U.K. tour thanks to Indiegogo and are back to dominating the L.A. DIY scene. If you see their name on a flyer on a telephone pole, be sure to check out a show.
Best Tracks: "Lose Your Mind," "Happy Birthday," "Never Wake Up"
Skip These: "Into a Daze," "Peru"

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

20% (Or why the Eurozone can't survive).
In the UK, around 20% of the 'Greater South-East's' GDP goes North. Following the American Civil War, about 20% of the North's GDP flowed south. Much of American Growth from then until 1914 was merely the south catching up with the North's industrialisation. After unification, about 20% of West German GDP flowed east.
The moral of the tale is that if a highly invested, competitive area (like Germany & Northern Europe) finds itself in a currency union with an uncompetitive area (Like the Club-Med), funds must flow from the competitive area to the uncompetitive area, so that the capital investments can be made to allow the uncompetitive area to catch up. It may never do so, as East Germany or the American South found. The damage done to the population's competitiveness by socialist idiocy or slave-agrarian economics, is just too great.
What is happening instead, right now in the Eurozone is that capital is fleeing the periphery, rather than flowing to it. This is because savers ask themselves 'Why have a bank account in Italy or Spain and risk holding Pesetas or Lira in a few years, when you can open one in Germany and 'risk' holding Deutchmarks?' The result of this (amongst other effects) is a massive collapse in the money supply in the periphery nations, which central bank action cannot counter, because monetary policy is set for the core. Big falls in money supply lead to depression. Against this backdrop, attempts to stabilise the debt by fiscal contraction in Italy or Spain are like a sticking plaster on an arterial bleed.
Note that the leftist argument that it's fiscal contraction which is causing the lack of growth is complete twaddle. THERE IS NO MONEY because IT'S ALL GOING TO GERMANY, so THE ECONOMIES WILL CONTRACT. Firing a few Spanish or Italian civil servants and building fewer roads is neither here nor there as far as their GDP numbers go.
But the UK is in a slightly different position to Italy and Spain because it's in control of it's money supply. We're not Greece, we're not Italy or Spain because we didn't join the Euro. What the left-wing plan to spend more risks is the Japan's disease where a pig-headed unwillingness to write off bad investments facilitated through expansionary fiscal "stimulus", left them with the highest per capita public debt in the world. And still their economy doesn't grow, despite decades of stimulus.
The evidence appears to suggest that expansionary fiscal policy (running a deficit) loses any stimulus effect on GDP growth when public debt hits around 80% of GDP (France, Germany, The USA), and debt kills growth entirely when it hits about 120% of GDP (Italy, Japan). Thanks to decades of overspend, there is no Keynesian firepower when it's needed. So there's no argument for more "stimulus" here, as the "Iron Chancellor" spent all the 'stimulus' long before the bust. Gordon Brown was a disaster for which I will be paying for the rest of my life. It Could have been worse, had Blair got his way and taken us into the Euro.
So, back to the Eurozone: Spain and Italy need Quantitative easing to ease the monetary pressure caused by the capital flight. Germany is simply unwilling to risk inflation and will sacrifice the economies of southern Europe on the altar of price stability. Meanwhile, the rest of Northern Europe are simply unwilling to make the transfers necessary to sustain currency union, let alone to allow the investment necessary to allow 'the South' to catch up.
What we're witnessing is the simple logic of currency union. Brits are broadly happy to subsidise other Brits farther north. Germans are content to throw money at Germans farther east. Ditto Yankees are happy to subsidise the ex-confederacy to their south. But Brits and Germans are NOT content to see vast sums head south to subsidise people whom their electorates consider feckless because they still enjoy siestas. Without a 'Demos' there is no democracy. And for the same reasons, there can also be no currency union without fiscal union. And fiscal union in the EU is impossible unless we all think of ourselves as 'European'.
And we don't. So the Euro will fail.
There MIGHT be enough political will to hold it together, for now. Indeed I think this is the most likely outcome. But eventually, decades of increasingly grinding poverty to which the Euro will condemn Spaniards and Italians will persuade the Spaniards and Italians vote to leave; or Germans will tire of writing cheques and vote to kick them out. Either way, the Euro's a doomed project.
It's not 'if' but 'when' and 'will there be piles of rotting corpses on the street again as a result?'

Halloween's Origin
How did Halloween begin? The holiday traces back to the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain. The ancient Celts from Britain and Ireland observed the start of the new year on November 1, All Souls Day. The day marked the end of summer and the harvest. Folks came to believe that on October 31, the worlds of the living and dead overlapped before the start of the new year. October 31 became All Hallows Eve, a time where the ghosts of the dead could return to destroy the harvest that was stored for winter. People set bonfires on hilltops to ward off the evil spirits before the start of the winter season. Look through this slideshow to learn how more Halloween traditions began.
The origin of trick-or-treating may have also come from Celtic tradition. Poor children in Britain and Ireland went door-to-door on All Hallows Eve and received food in exchange for the promise of praying for the giver's dead relatives on All Saints Day. This practice was known as "going-a-souling." While that may be the start of it, that tradition didn't make its way to America. Here, trick-or-treating may have started with children trading songs for treats in the 1910s, according to old newspaper texts. The tradition didn't really take off until after World War II, when popular children's magazines started discussing it and the idea entered popular culture, including radio shows and cartoons.
There are many legends surrounding the Jack'-o'-Lantern and where he got his name. However, the tradition began with folks believing that carving scary faces onto turnips would frighten away evil spirits. The tradition turned to pumpkins in America because pumpkins were more plentiful—and much easier to carve.
During the Samhain festival, some people wore masks and other disguises to avoid being recognized by evil spirits. But the rise of costumes as a major part of Halloween actually took off in the United States as Halloween became a consumer holiday. Initial reports of mass-produced costumes date to as early as the 1930s. They really took off with the rise of trick-or-treating.
Witches, and Ghosts, and Skeletons, Oh My!
The ideas of death and fearing spirits that surrounded All Hallows Eve gave rise to the skeleton and ghost imagery. As for the fascination with witches, it appears that the European interest in witches was brought to America. It joined with the Native American beliefs in evil spirits, which both fit with the spooky themes of October 31. That association gave witches and black cats—the Celtic priests had convinced people that black cats were humans gone bad—a rise in popular culture as symbols of Halloween.
Haunted Houses
The idea of having Haunted Houses was created simply as a way to make money. Playing off the obvious themes of Halloween, the first haunted houses were fundraising efforts led by the Junior Chamber International (Jaycees) clubs and have continued as fundraising and commercial operations. Boo!

Science Club for Girls visits FACE Lab
May 15, 2014
May 15, 2014
The Science Club for Girls recently got hands-on experience with tools used in Emerson's new FACE Lab for autism research. Pictured are (front row) Giana Fischer, MyChalia Sanfilippo, Victoria Fischer, (back row) Aicha Belabbes, Sandra Buck, MA '15, Assistant Professor Ruth Grossman, Jameelah Julien, Nadwa Ibrahim, and Brenda Rafterty. (Photo by Gina Varamo '13)
Middle and high school-age students from the Science Club for Girls recently stopped by two grant-funded laboratories in Emerson's Communication Sciences and Disorders Department to get hands-on experience in scientific research.
The girls participated in presentations of the Remote Eye-tracker Device (RED), which had them record and view their eye-gaze patterns in response to stimuli. Faculty use RED for research on healthy and impaired populations of people, including those with aphasia or on the autism spectrum.
They also used other lab equipment, including an electrolarynx, which is a vocal tone generator that facilitates speech for individuals who have had their larynx surgically removed.
The Science Club for Girls members specifically visited Emerson's Communication Disorders Lab, which is receiving support from the National Science Foundation; and the Facial Affective and Communicative Expressions (FACE) Lab, which is receiving funding from the National Institutes of Health.
Based in Cambridge, the Science Club for Girls serves to foster excitement, confidence, and literacy in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) for girls, particularly from underrepresented communities, by providing free experiential programs and by maximizing meaningful interactions with women mentors in STEM.

A dental floss with no chemical! It leaves a nice tea tree taste after you floss. At least I feel safer swallowing my own saliva as compared after using a dental floss with harmful chemical. The tea tree oil helps to kill the harmful bacteria that breed around the previously stuck food. Note that this dental floss is thicker. It is about 1.2 mm in width and 0.2 mm in thickness (Rough estimate). This thick floss does not shred easily and not sharp either. It is good for those with bigger tooth gap (like my back teeth). Because of its size and thickness, you can clean the gap easily and it does not cut into your gums. Sometimes tiny bone piece get stuck in my teeth gap, this floss is also useful in this aspect as it does not shred easily. Generally, I used this along with the thinner version dental floss that is from desert essence as well. Both have its uses, depending on situation. This floss is suitable for vegetarian as well. The price is very well. It is cheaper than most of the normal dental floss. It is much shorter than the thin version. (45.7m) Check out my page for more reviews!
Love the after-taste!

I like the smell of this product. But should admit that its a bit thick. I think it should work well for people who have teeth that are more spaced apart.

I got this as a freebie, so that's great. However, I'm Pretty glad I didn't pay for it. I love the idea of natural tea tree floss, but I used the entire box in two flossings. The tape shreds like crazy and wasn't very cleansing. I would not purchase again. Take a look at my page to see over 100 real reviews from products I've purchased and tested here at Iherb!

It's a thick flat tape (whereas floss is a string). So it's kind of hard to get in between tight places and my teeth are pretty tight. The flavor is nice, not bitter, not overpowering. I do sometimes use well diluted tea tree on a cotton swab to polish and shine my teeth. I like this but it takes me a while to use because of the aforementioned problem with tight together teeth.

This is the first time I have seen dental tape as thick as this and so I was a bit skeptical but now my teeth don't bleed anymore after I floss and it cleans twice as good as the average shop fluoride ones. I won't be going back to those anymore. I even use it on my 2 year old and it's not hot for his mouth either. Definitely buying this one again.

Have used this for a couple of years at the suggestion of my dentist, and really like it, as opposed to the commercial brands. It cleans between teeth and the surface very well. I think the tea tree oil also helps keep my gums healthy.

Movie Review: Magic Mike
What happens when 42nd Street meets A Night in Heaven meets Can't Stop the Music meets Flashdance meets Showgirls meets Coyote Ugly meets Boogie Nights?
Director: Steven Soderbergh
MPAA Rating: R
Studio: Nick Wechsler Productions
What happens when 42nd Street meets A Night in Heaven meets Can't Stop the Music meets Flashdance meets Showgirls meets Coyote Ugly meets Boogie Nights? Magic Mike, that's what, in which director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Reid Carolin take a likeable, fun-loving troupe of male strippers and peel away the body oil, glitter, thongs and, finally, the defenses. Based in part on chiseled star-producer Channing Tatum's younger days spent thrusting his thong-clad crotch into the faces of eager female patrons in Florida, the amiable, rambling, often hilarious workplace comedy Magic Mike delivers a raucous good time.
Tatum, easy, enjoyable and untaxed by major dramatic scenes, plays an ambitious hustler who works as a roofer, details cars, socks away his money and aspires to make handcrafted furniture of his own design. Except the bank considers him a bad risk. Meanwhile, he has a sometime f-buddy thing going on with a bisexual psych student (Olivia Munn) and, by night, he works it with fellow exotic dancers like Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello at the Xquisite Dance Revue, presided over by the strutting, charismatic, ruthless owner Matthew McConaughey who pretty much steals the movie any time he's on screen. Where was this guy when we needed him in Rock of Ages? Tatum takes under his wing an angry, hunky college dropout (Alex Pettyfer) who is crashing with his sensible, justifiably suspicious sister (Cody Horn); in no time flat, the new guy, dubbed "The Kid," is busting moves at the club, making good money and quickly going over to the dark side of drugs, messed-up women and deals gone dangerously wrong. End of plot, pretty much.
The good stuff here is the easy camaraderie among the strippers, the peek we get into sordid lives spent shopping for stripper gear, pumping up various body parts, pressing scrunched-up dollar bills under books and the adrenaline rush of selling tease, fantasy, escape. Growing up, getting responsible can be a tough, painful process and when the movie deals with such stuff, Tatum gets a chance to show some vulnerability. It's a skin-deep movie of skin-deep characters, but it's rowdy, beautifully made and good hearted.

Dog Is In First Heat!
Hello. I had just made a thread just a bit ago and it stated my dog was in heat. I now feel it necessary to post about it because I have never dealt with this before. I noticed dry blood on her fur near her "area" just a week ago, but I do not know if that was the first day it happened, and so I have no idea how long she has been in her heat. I know there are different stages and I am trying to figure out which stage she is in. One of the stages said I will notice male "suitors" around my house, and I have yet to see that, and we have many dogs in our neighborhood. He area is EXTREMELY swollen and very pink, and she continually licks it. I read that dogs will beg to be let outside, but she is begging to be let in (she is primarily an outdoor dog, not my choice, my moms). She has not shown signs that she wants to mate yet. Well, this thought just occurred to me. She is begging to come inside more than she normally does, and we do have a (neutered) male dog inside. Small cockapoo. Could she wanting to get to him? Also, she has been humping the pillow that is on our hammock outside. I have never dealt with a dog in heat so I am just lost. I noticed larger amounts of dried blonde a week ago, but I see no stains on the concrete outside, no dripping, and I was just outside to check on her and I saw no discharge or blood. But her area is highly swollen. I am just looking for literally any advice. She is only 10 months, so mating could be dangerous, I am making sure to watch her at all times, but again she does not appear to want to mate yet, and I have seen no male dogs outside or near our house. Her personality has shifted to being very submissive, though. She is not listening to instruction anymore, and if I look at her she drops to her back with her legs spread, and she is sniffing everything when we go on walks. I honestly just do not know! Any advice is extremely helpful. Thank you.
If you have to leave her outside, then you need to get her fixed ASAP so your mom won't just have ONE dog she won't allow in the house, but and extra 12 puppies that need to also be in the house for a couple of months and all that involves.
My girls all behaved 100% normally when in heat. Just more licking to clean themselves up. I didn't notice any males around the yard, but that's probably because of the leash laws PLUS the fact I kept her indoors. My dogs did spot around the house so I'd see blood droplets on the floor (only at the start because I then put their panties on) but if your dog it only outside you'd miss seeing this.

You can get her fixed while in the heat? I thought I had to wait until it was over. When she is outside she never leaves my sight, my work space is set up right next to two side by side windows, and she lays beneath them on the opposite side when I am there. Yes, she has a slight personality change. She normally listened very well, just a small "Go on" or "Come here, girl" would suffice, now I have to push her places I need her to go, she will just flop on her back when I call her or look at her. Very unlike her, very. As I write this she is barking at nothing right outside. Just looking at me and our fence and bushes, I see nothing she could be barking at. Well, thank you for the articles and advice. I want to keep her inside but,
1. As said before, she is not allowed in by my mother.
2. She does not get along with the other pets in the household because she is a puppy, but so big she wants to play all the time, and all of the pets inside are small, they do not like her...
3. She does not have "indoor manners". Understandable for her age, but she is very rowdy and does not have a calm bone in her body. Even after an hour and then 30 minutes of frisbee she is still rowdy.
I let her in occasionally when she gives me those puppy dog eyes and whimpers, but for the most part she is outside. We have a nice bed, and toys in a large fenced off area in our garage. It is very nice and cozy and cool in the warm days. I have been thinking of letting her live primarily in the garage because it is done up so well, and just letting her outside a few times a day. Does that sound good? Or should I remain with what I currently do.
Not really clear why you got a dog at all if she has to be isolated not only from the other people but other dogs?
Both house manners AND being with the other dogs is something ALL our dogs can learn. They are very intelligent and between the hours we can spend with them IN the house, hours of training and dog classes, hours of socialization plus possibly the crate training inside the home...............
If she will have to spend her life alone in the yard....... with no training or socialization to be raised normally, is there a chance you can contact the breeder to explain that you made a mistake and didn't realize everything involved in raising a dog properly? I know my breeder would take my dog back if I realized I had made a mistake.
Raising a dog is hard, takes tons of time and money with both the training, socialization and just normally day to day responsibilities. Better to fix the situation now when your pup is young rather then wait and end up with an older dog that can't be in the home, can't be around other dogs, and can't be trusted out in the world because I didn't have the time/experience/knowledge to raise my pup properly.
