In Biblical terms, this week could be considered as the time when the Prodigal Son returned. And sorry, Braylon – I'm not referring to you. Instead, the buildup to Sunday's matchup with the Jets has been littered with human interest articles emanating from the world's biggest media market. The focus of these articles – at least the ones not referencing Rex Ryan's boundless sense of fun – have been devoted to the New York media's reflections on just how much Eric Mangini has changed over the past two years.
Of course, to appreciate such sentiments, one has to recall just how despised Mangini was during his tenure as Jets' head coach. Despite two winning seasons and a playoff appearance from 2006-2008, Mangini was often characterized as anything from "aloof" to "paranoid." Contributing to Mangini's declining popularity was his seemingly endless behavioral emulation of his coaching father, the always clandestine Bill Belichick.
By the time the demise of Mangini's Jets' tenure coincided with Brett Favre's epic December 2008 meltdown, the coach who was initially coined as "Mangenius" had experienced a massive public relations tumble towards the fringes of NFL society.
Replacing the fallen coach in New York was Mangini's antithesis, the boisterous Rex Ryan. Ryan's omnipresent personality and brash style of coaching quickly made New York forget about Mangini and gave their collective media outlets endless amounts of newsworthy material.
To the New York media's credit, Ryan is the kind of oversized personality that makes a reporter's job easy. Despite the fact that the Jets backed into last year's playoffs, Ryan was celebrated as the Second Coming, while Mangini was easily discarded as a bust. Of course, it's worth noting that Ryan essentially co-opted the roster that Mangini had built en route to a surprise playoff run.
But this is a small detail in the narrative that has unfolded over the past couple years.
The larger point is simply how quickly people forget….especially those who have the biggest voice.
According to most of the articles focused on Mangini this week, it's quite possible that our current coach simply vanished into a fog after leaving New York. In most respects, Mangini has only resurfaced over the past few weeks as his Browns have taken out two of the league's top teams.
The tone of these articles could easily be translated as nothing more than a curious "are you still here?"
As it turns out, Mangini is alive and well.
Perhaps the best example of this New York-centric worldview comes from the New Jersey Star-Ledger's Dave D'Alessandro.
But he was young — just 11 years removed from a ball boy job when the Jets hired him — and at 35, far too young to be a curmudgeon.
He admits he is different now, and at the risk of sounding naïve, you believe him. Moreover, you're happy for him. Maybe, in the end, Jersey never really did get to know him.
Better late than never.
Of course, such sentiments are easy to make now.
Rex Ryan's Jets have emerged as one of the AFC's top contenders this season and the team's current roster is star-laden from both an actual production and personality standpoint.
Also, it's obvious that Ryan gives the media that covers him much more than Mangini offered.
It's just funny: If Mangini showed the charm and candor he shared with a dozen reporters Wednesday, he just might have collected enough allies — within the organization, and out — to stay in Jersey a lot longer.
We don't ask a lot of our coaches around here — just that they be capable of teaching young people that sports isn't life but a mere celebration of it, win a playoff round once in a while, tell a decent story about the people they've met along the way, maintain some civility when the fans and media around him inevitably lose theirs, and not analyze each game like it's the damn Battle of Otterburn.
Naturally, this begs the question….if this supposed "new" version of Mangini had done all of the above, would he still be coaching the Jets?
An uninterrupted Mangini Jets' tenure would now be closing in on five years. In terms of the average NFL head coaching tenure, this would be a remarkable number. Without a Super Bowl championship to his credit, even the most optimistic of us could not envision such a scenario playing out.
Much like his former players who grew tired of him, it's obvious that the New York media would have eventually turned on Mangini. Despite the revisionist idealism laid throughout this week, it's highly unlikely that anyone with a media voice would have tried to "get to know" Mangini.
And Alessandro's piece – like many others before him – would basically read the exact same way.

Sacred Space
Written by:
Anabaptist groups diverge sharply on the question of a devoted sacred space. Most progressive Anabaptist groups worship in church buildings, which they sometimes call meetinghouses. Many conservative groups, however, worship in homes or barns, a reminder to them that God is present wherever God's people gather.

Bidding small ceramic tile jobs
I am going to start doing side work and would like some pointers on bidding jobs.
I live in Indiana and I will be installing ceramic, marble , slate, granite, and porcaline. I will only be diong small jobs. Any advice on how to bid these jobs will be greatly appriciated.
On a per job basis
Do em for FREE, you'll build a big clientel Fast:w00t:
Are you going to have overhead(insurance, licenses, etc.)? If you have been doing tile for a while you will know what is involved and be able to take some measurements and figure out the cost of the materials. As for labor, there are to many variables, if you are doing this on the side(no insurance or license) it is easy to figure out how much to charge till you run into a problem(water leak when tiling under a toilet and floods house, irs catches you not claiming income when the home owner reports paying you for home repairs as a deduction). If you are going to do it legit you will need to figure out your overhead and how much profit you would like to make and figure out how long each job will take.
Actually, the original poster asked: "How to bid small tile jobs".
Tho, the comments involving: "How to conduct a small business in the field of home improvement" ...... were actually alot of food for thought, that some people (who are starting out) don't seem to take into consideration = :thumbsup:

New Releases: John Legend Merges Into Fast Lane on New Album
If John Legend's 2004 debut 'Get Lifted' was a contemporary neo-soul record, then his latest 'Evolver' is its funkier more upbeat cousin. Just as the title would suggest every track on this album is a deviated evolution into dance music with soulful flair. From the first single 'Green Light' featuring the freestyle skills of Andre 3000 to the reggae-rooted 'No Other Love,' featuring songstress Estelle.
This time around Legend steps further and further from his piano seat and deeper into swift percussions and breathy snare. On 'It's Over,' written by Pharrell Williams, Legend flips a title usually reserved for a sorrowful love ballad and merges into the fast lane. Along for the ride is Kanye West and his new favorite companion — his vocoder. As he has done on previous features, West's sarcastic witty rhyme scheme is not only front and center, but fits perfectly.'Quickly' featuring Brandy sheds the fairytale love mantra and replaces it with politically charged urgency. Both Brandy and Legend go head-to-head swooning over how love's satisfaction has the power to take one's mind off the world's troubles. Slowing things down are the flattering love ballads, 'If You're Out There,' 'This Time' and 'Good Morning.' The bonus tracks provide added shine to 'Evolver's' sparkle among them is 'Floating Away' similar to 2004's 'So High.'
Legend's effort finds the healthy medium between comfortably cool and tangible emotion. He proves that love songs don't have to be sad but it's his distinct voice and a few low registers keys from his piano that makes 'Evolver' such a note-worthy exertion.

OR: How to enjoy Valentine's Day with your best friends.
OR: Yet another blog about why I love my friends.
When people ask me why I chose Hopkins, I tell them that my number one reason was the lack of core curriculum. When they ask me why I like Hopkins, I tell them "the people." It's a theme you'll see repeated throughout all of our answers to this question, and it's really true. There are some professors here that have changed my outlook on life, some that have made it clear that they care about me as a person, and not just that I'm learning, and some that teach because they care about us learning. There are also numerous other adults on this campus who've had a positive impact on my experience here, and are part of the reason I value being here so much.
But on a day-to-day (and let's face it, hourly or minutely) basis, it's my friends and classmates that remind me how lucky I am to be here. I love being surrounded by people who care about school. I love being at a school where it's expected that we care about our academics.
And I also love that even though we all care about our academic work and our future, we also care about having fun. And being ridiculous, and eating cupcakes, and everything that awesome people should participate in.
Without further ado, how to celebrate Valentine's Day with your best friends and a bunch of vegan gluten free cupcakes!
1. Make sure everyone's included.
Zoe's abroad right now in London, living in an awesome city and getting to eat food I'm constantly jealous for. She was still one of our valentines, and we all caught up via the wonderful tools that the 21st century has brought us.
2. Eat cupcakes.
Originally, we were planning on going out for dessert. But since I had a night class and Caitlin wanted to make cupcakes she could eat we decided to have our own party at our apartment.
3. Dress up.
For us, this usually means having some sort of themed dinner or party. For our Rosh Hashana dinner, we had Biblical foods and made a tent in our living room. This time, we did a picnic in the park with Valentine's Day colors and pretty dresses.
4. Have a tea party!
Tea is classy, and goes perfectly with our theme of being ladies on a picnic.
5. Take ridiculous pictures
I'm pretty sure that the point of photobooth is to take ridiculous pictures that you find much later on. In that spirit, we unearthed some gems from freshman year, added to the collection, and had fun with the regular camera too.
Happy Belated Valentine's Day to everyone!

Can I install 3/4" HW on top of the rolled floor membrane there now?
Can I install new 3/4 hardwood over linoleum?
I have a kitchen/office that I am about to install new 3/4" prefinished hardwood on.
Question: (1) Do I have to take off the existing flooring treatment to get to the original worn hardwood floor, and then put the red paper, then the flooring?
Or, (2) leave the 1/8" wood layer and the rolled flooring layer on top of the existing floor, and just install my new hardwood flooring on top of that?
It would be a lot easier to just install the new hardwood over the rolled membrane flooring as that flooring is glued to the 1/8" wood layer and that wood layer is screwed into the old hardwood floor.
Since you mention the red (roisin) paper, I assume you are talking about a floating floor, and not a glue down. I the existing floor is solid, I see no problem with leaving it alone. Be sure to use the recommended padding for your particular floor, as some manufacturers willl not warranty their floor without the recommended padding from them.
new hardwood floor on top of old
In what I am hoping to do, is to install the new hardwood, nailed down through the rolled flooring (one continuous roll that is glued to 1/8" plywood). That plywood is screwed into the old hardwood floor.
I am wondering if I have to bother to take off the rolled flooring and the 1/8" plywood. (well the `plywood' is really wall paneling that they nailed onto the floor).
First off if the underlayment is only 1/8 Id rip it out, its panelling.
If there is only one layer of 1/4 inch with a vinyl you can go over that.Still its worth the extra time to demo it to keep your hieght down.
Second, rosin paper isnt an underlayment for a floating floor. Floating floors require some cushion for sound deadening.
Rosin or felt is put under nailed down hardwood to cut down on the noise primarily.

Legit Payday Loan Lenders should be used only in emergencies, when you truly haven't any other alternatives. When you take out a cash payday loan, and cannot pay it back without delay, certain things happen. First, you have to spend a fee to hold re-extending your loan until you can pay it off. Second, you retain getting charged a growing number of interest.
When considering obtaining a payday loan, be sure you understand the repayment method. Sometimes you may have to send the lender a post dated be sure they will cash on the deadline. Other times, you are going to just ought to provide them with your banking account information, and they will automatically deduct your payment from your account.

Sometimes we can all use a little help financially. If you find yourself using a financial problem, so you don't know where you can turn, you may get a payday loan.

The best tip designed for using payday advances is to never have to rely on them. If you are being affected by your bills and cannot make ends meet, payday cash advances are not how you can get back on track. Try setting up a budget and saving some cash so you can stay away from these types of loans.
Be aware from the deceiving rates you happen to be presented. It may seem to be affordable and acceptable to become charged $ 15 for each one-hundred you borrow, nonetheless it will quickly add up. The rates will translate to become about 390 percent in the amount borrowed. Know exactly simply how much you will be necessary to pay in fees and interest at the start.
Only borrow the money that you really need. For instance, if you're struggling to your bills, then this money is obviously needed. However, you must never borrow money for splurging purposes, including eating out. The high interest rates you will have to pay down the road, are not worth having cash.

Boy Scouts of America considers ending ban on gays
By Marice Richter
DALLAS (Reuters) - Boy Scouts of America board members opened a three-day meeting on Monday in which they will consider ending a controversial national ban on gay membership, sparking a flurry of lobbying from groups both for and against the change.
The national executive board, which lists more than 70 members, is expected to vote on Wednesday on whether to lift the ban they had reaffirmed just last year amid criticism from gay rights groups and gay former Scouts and Scout leaders.
The meeting at a hotel near Boy Scouts headquarters in Irving, Texas, is closed to the public.
The organization said late last month it was considering removing the national restriction based on sexual orientation and leaving the decision to local chapters. It said it would not dictate a position to units, members or parents.
Gay rights activists have said it is not enough to lift the national ban but allow local units to maintain a ban.
The board meeting comes as the century-old youth organization that prides itself on teaching boys life skills such as camping and leadership faces membership declines and a donations boycott by some corporations over its anti-gay policy.
Youth membership in the Boy Scouts has dropped 21 percent since 2000 to nearly 2.7 million. Adult leader membership has fallen 14 percent to just over 1 million, and the number of units has declined 12.6 percent to 108,971.
Activists have pressed corporations, including Merck and UPS, as well as the Intel Foundation to withhold contributions to the Boy Scouts while the ban stands. Continued...

- Includes six weeks of detailed menu plans
- Book gives a step-by-step guide for following the program
- Several success stories available
- Teaches you how to avoid wheat, barley and rye
- Learn to create your own gluten free meals
- Written by a renowned fitness personality and exercise physiologist
- Encourages better eating habits and exercise
- Offers a very basic approach including lists of foods that do and do not contain gluten
- Meal plans offer a cooking and no cooking option
- None to speak of
The Gluten Free Fat Loss Plan focuses on how and why gluten can be making you fat. This program encourages eating fresh and natural foods and avoiding those that are overly processed. The four reasons given for why gluten is making you fat include:
- Gluten-containing foods are often made from highly processed and refined grains
- Most gluten-containing foods are calorie rich and nutrient poor
- Gluten-containing foods are frequently high in refined sugar
- Gluten-containing foods can trigger bingeing and food addiction When you consider these basic reasons, it can be very appealing to switch to a gluten free diet. Within each of the four reasons, some common foods are examined and their nutritional values are compared to the recommended daily allowance. Although The Gluten Free Fat Loss Plan is a diet for anyone wanting to lose weight, some of the signs and details of gluten intolerance are covered as well. There are three phases that go along with The Gluten Free Fat Loss Plan.
Phase one is for anyone that wants to lose more than 10 pounds. Your calorie intake during this phase is 1,400 to 1,500. This level of caloric intake is low enough to stimulate immediate weight loss, but it isn't so low that you will be hungry. Phase two is meant to take off the last 10 pounds you need to lose. During this phase, you will have 1,500 to 1,600 calories each day. This will fuel your increased activity level because you will continue following a workout plan, but you will still be losing weight. Lastly is phase three. This is the maintenance phase and will help you stay at your goal weight. This phase is based on 1,600 to 1,800 calories per day and will help you continue a healthy way of living gluten free and being active. Some of the basics of the diet are:
- No more than 50 total grams of sugar per day
- No less than 20 grams of fiber per day
- More than half of your grains must come from whole grain sources
- Follow the meal plan ratios of 45 to 50 percent carbohydrates, 25 to 30 percent fats and 20 to 25 percent protein daily
- Eat three meals and two snacks each day
- Never go longer than four hours without eating
- Drink a minimum of 60 ounces of water each day
There are charts to tell you which foods to eat from various food groups. These charts can be used to create your own meals. There are also six weeks of detailed meal plans in case you need some help creating your meals. All of the meal plans offer a cooking and no cooking option so that you have the optimal level of convenience. Below is a day of eating on phase one of the program, using the cooking option:
- Breakfast: 1 serving Blueberry Almond Oatmeal
- Morning snack: 2 Tbsp. hummus, 15 rice crackers or nut thins
- Lunch: Salad with mixed greens as base; ½ cup garbanzo beans; 1 Tbsp. chopped nuts, 6 oz. chicken, any veggies you want (not from grey category); 2 Tbsp. low-fat vinaigrette dressing
- Afternoon snack: 1 hard-boiled egg; 1 serving of fruit
- Dinner: 2 servings Crispy Potato Slices with Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese
You are encouraged to exercise with The Gluten Free Fat Loss Plan. There is a detailed workout program and the book includes exercise demonstrations and explanations to help with your form. Just like with the eating plan, there are three phases to the exercise program. However, your eating phase and exercise phase don't have to match. This is because there are some people that already work out regularly. The three components of the workout plan are cardio, flexibility and core strength. To determine what level you need to start at with the workout portion, see below:
Phase I Workout
- For people who have never been on a regular workout program, or who have not exercised regularly in the past six months
- For people who have limited time to devote to exercise
Phase II Workout
- For people who have been on Phase I for at least three weeks
- For people who already exercise at least three days per week for 30 minutes or more
- For people who have exercised regularly within the last six months
Phase III Workout
- For people who have been on Phase II for at least three weeks
- For people who already exercise at least four days per week for 45 minutes or more
There are several recommended exercises given for each of the categories of cardio, flexibility and core strength. You get to choose what types of activities you do, and the book offers you a precise schedule to follow. Below is a look at a phase one workout schedule for a week:
- Monday: 30 minutes of cardio; 5 minute flexibility
- Tuesday: Rest
- Wednesday: 30 minutes of cardio; 10 minutes of core strength
- Thursday: 40 minutes of cardio; 5 minutes of flexibility
- Friday: Rest
- Saturday: 30 minutes of cardio; 10 minutes of core strength
- Sunday: Rest
The Gluten Free Fat Loss Plan offers a way of eating and exercising that will help you lose weight in a healthy way. Eliminating gluten will also help you cut down on sugar and reduce the amount of processed foods you eat. This program is a solid one that can help anyone lose weight whether they have a gluten allergy or not.Common Misspellings

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, geez, couldn't you have posted this recipe before the Superbowl, so that I could've had something easy and delicious to eat while we watched the game commercials?
Well, yeah.
But if you're me, you sometimes often don't get around to doing things in a timely manner. Things such as 'inviting people to the superbowl party you decided to have at the last minute.'
But that's okay, because in my book the only requirement for a party is booze and thankfully we had plenty of that.
This is one of my mom's recipes that comes from who-knows-where—she's been making it for as long as I can remember.
I used to have a love-hate relationship with it—I loved it because it was so delicious, but I hated the water chestnuts in it (I think it was their combination of lack of flavor and surprising texture).
Now the perfect cracker for eating it with, I have to tell you, is a Ritz. I can't explain why, but it just is, I'm sorry. Second-best is a triscuit or wheat thin, but that's because triscuits and wheat thins go with anything on earth—anything you'd want to put in your mouth, that is.
Growing up, this dip made a semi-annual appearance at our house—not only for parties but usually often for Thanksgiving as a 'let's try to not think about the fact that we're not eating lunch today until 3 p.m.' snack, which, unfortunately, I would always end up eating so much of that I would be too full for Thanksgiving itself.
It's easy to pull together but it does benefit from a few hours in the fridge to let the flavors meld (though when I made it the other day I only chilled it an hour, tops–hello, lack of planning ahead!–and it was still just fine).
And since the main ingredient is spinach, you can pretend that it's healthy, too.Mama P.'s Spinach Dip 1 box (12 oz.) frozen chopped spinach 1 can water chestnuts (Mama P note: she prefers buying the whole ones and dicing them herself rather than buying them pre-sliced—she says they have better flavor that way) 1 envelope ranch dressing mix 4 Tablespoons light mayo 4 Tablespoons light sour cream (or you could substitute nonfat yogurt if you're trying to cut down on calories) fresh-ground black pepper to taste
Thaw frozen spinach by heating in the microwave or by taking it out of the freezer waay in advance. Drain thoroughly, and press out any excess moisture using paper towels—you're going to want to get the spinach as dry as possible, otherwise your dip will be kind of runny.
Place spinach in a bowl. Finely dice the chestnuts and add them to the spinach. Add all the other ingredients, including a few shakes of fresh-ground pepper, and stir to combine. Add more mayo/sour cream if needed for consistency—this is going to be pretty thick, more like a spread than a dip.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Marchers rally in Oxnard to mark year since fatal police-involved shooting
About 150 people marched Sunday in the La Colonia neighborhood of Oxnard to mark the year since police killed a 21-year-old man.
Alfonso Limon Jr. was fatally shot Oct. 13, 2012, after being misidentified as a suspect from a traffic stop that turned violent, according to police officials.
On Sunday, Limon's relatives and friends along with Todo Poder al Pueblo Collective and other organizations met at Del Sol Park and marched to the Oxnard police station and the site where Limon was killed, near the southeast corner of Garfield Avenue and Cooper Road.
Rebecca Limon, the sister of Alfonso Limon, said the march was a way for the community to remember her brother and raise awareness of the limited information that families of victims of officer-involved deaths receive from the department.
"We are always hopeful. It's a matter of waiting," she said about the investigation into her brother's death. "We understand it's a process."
"We still haven't gotten an answer," Limon said. "But we haven't forgotten as a community."
Martin Leyva, 41, of Santa Barbara, never met Limon, but recent officer-involved deaths in his city interested him in the Limon case, he said.
"When someone has their hands up in the air and gets shot at ... I don't know where the threat is at there," Leyva said about the night Limon was shot.
Leyva said the nine officers involved in the shooting need to be held accountable.
"They still work for us, and along the way they have forgotten that," Leyva said.
Participants wore shirts with Limon's photo on the front and the names of the officers involved in the shooting on the back. The march was signaled to a start by participants holding hands in a circle while Aztec dancers performed a dance and ceremony.
Soon after, chants of "killer cops, off our streets," "no justice, no peace, no killer police" and: "What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now," echoed throughout the march.
At the police station, participants chalked up the sidewalks with similar words and moved along to the shooting site, where a rosary was recited by Ignacio Ixta, a deacon and uncle of Robert Ramirez, a 26-year-old man who died of asphyxia in Oxnard police restraint in 2012 after he overdosed on methamphetamine.
Family members of Michael Mahoney, who was fatally shot by Oxnard police in August 2012, also attended the march, and Mahoney's twin sister spoke at the event, along with Ramirez's mother, Teresa Ramirez.
"There's an emptiness in our hearts that nothing we do fills us," Ramirez said.
"They took away my brother, my best friend," Mahoney said. "They didn't give him a chance to get better."
Elliott Gabriel, a march organizer, said one of the event's main goals was to change how police officers involved in shootings are reprimanded.
"I would be fired if I made a mistake at my job," Gabriel said. "They receive a paid vacation."
Other organizers at the march said they planned to go to Sacramento in the next week to raise awareness of officer-involved deaths throughout Southern California.

text: Tests Done Before SurgeryMany surgeons order routine lab tests before you are admitted to the hospital or before certain outpatient procedures. The tests help find possible problems that might complicate surgery if not found and treated early. Some of the most common tests done before surgery include:Chest X-rays. X-rays can help diagnose causes of shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and certain fevers. They can also help diagnose abnormal heart, breathing, and lung sounds.Electrocardiogram (ECG). This test records the electrical activity of the heart. It shows abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias or dysrhythmias), finds heart muscle damage, and helps find the cause of chest pain, fluttering heartbeats (palpitations), and heart murmurs.Urinalysis. This test can help diagnose kidney and bladder infections, and diabetes. Certain types of urinalysis can also find illegal drugs in the body.White blood count. This test can help diagnose certain fevers and infections. It can also find out if a person is using medicines that affect white blood counts.You may also need one or more of the following blood tests before surgery:Glucose. This test measures your blood sugar levels.Potassium. This test measures the amount of potassium, sodium, and other electrolytes in your blood. These chemicals help regulate heart rhythms and other body functions.Complete blood count (CBC). This test checks for a low number of red blood cells (anemia) and infection. It also checks how well your blood clots.Coagulation studies (PT/PTT). These tests find out how well your blood clots.Talk with your doctor if you have questions or concerns about any of the tests he or she orders for you.

Debt-inducing ticket prices and armies of nostalgic soccer moms may have given Madonna the highest grossing tour of 2012. But is there any doubt who this decade's Queen of Pop is?
What? Britney who?
The crown rests firmly on the head of one Stefani Germanotta, a.k.a. Lady Gaga, a.k.a. Mama Monster, the 25-year-old pop phenomenon who will launch the next phase of her Born This Way Ball tour today in Vancouver, BC before making her way back to the Tacoma Dome on Monday, Jan. 14. The first leg of that tour raked in $161.4 million, making it the fifth highest grossing tour of 2012, according to concert trade publication, Pollstar.
Since Gaga last visited Tacoma in 2010 she has exceeded 32.8 million Twitter followers, reached the No. 4 spot on Billboard's list of top moneymakers of 2011 and released her second full-length studio album, "Born This Way." The disc debuted atop the Billboard 200 after selling 1.1 million copies its first week and went on to move more than 6 million units worldwide, bolstered by hits "Marry the Night, "Judas," "You and I" and "The Edge of Glory."
Now fans are wondering what inescapable dance anthems Gaga has cooked up for 2013, and the fans in Tacoma may be among the first to hear them.
Gaga recently announced that her forthcoming "ARTPOP" album will be released as an interactive app filled with music, videos, games, digital magazines, chats, fashion updates and more.
"You inspired me to create something that communicated with images, because YOU do," she posted on her fan site. "YOU communicate with me and each other with .gifs and pictures, and artwork, graphics ALL DAY 24/7/YOU'RE an ARTPOP generation."
There's no official word on when "ARTPOP" will be released, but it's expected to surface some time this spring.
But if her last appearance in Tacoma is any indication, any new music will be overshadowed by the sheer scale and spectacle of her live show anyway. As Gaga delivered "Poker Face," "Telephone" and other hits, she and her dancers roamed a foreboding, fairy tale metropolis stocked with spooky subway cars, full-sized taxis and - during the "Paparazzi" finale – a massive, piranha-squid-beast operated by a team of puppeteers.
And, of course, there were plenty of costume changes showcasing Gaga's freaky fashion sense: a crystalline fairy gown with sparkly, mechanical projections; some sort of Cousin It inspired hair suit; a brazier that gushed sparks after she broke free from the aforementioned piranha-squid.
Her "little monsters" are working with much smaller costume budgets, but they're sure to provide hours of fun people watching before and after the show; "little monsters" being Gaga's pet name for her fans, many of which show up in flamboyant, gender-bending costumes. The styles du jour last time included bright, pastel wigs, corsets, wings and aluminum cans used as curlers.
The anything goes fashion is consistent with Gaga's core message of tolerance and individuality. That, her charitable work and her public stances on social issues - especially those pertaining to marriage equality and acceptance of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people – have helped cement her large, fanatical fan base.
For 2012, DoSomething.org ranked Gaga the No. 4 "celeb gone good" for pledging $1 million towards Hurricane Sandy relief efforts and setting aside $1.2 million to start the Born This Way Foundation, a non-profit group dedicated to fighting bullying and promoting acceptance of the LGBT community.
Born This Way Foundation recently debuted the BornBrave Bus which, according to a statement the group posted via Tumblr, "will travel the country to serve as a place where youth can go to feel connected and learn about civic engagement opportunities."
Through her fan site, Gaga said the bus will also make mental health professionals available to counsel troubled teens before each tour stop.
Gaga's foundation and tour sponsor, Virgin Mobile, are teaming up to make donations to local charities in each city, as well. In Tacoma the beneficiary will be Camp Fire USA Orca Council, a non-profit outreach program for homeless and at-risk youth.
Mary Grant, the agency's teen outreach program director, said she was not sure how much would be donated but it would likely be between $5,000 and $10,000 which would go a long way toward paying operations costs and buying clothing, hygiene items and other supplies needed by kids that her agency serves.
The amount will vary based on a challenge Gaga will issue during the show. The pop star will call one of her local fans and challenge them to complete some sort of volunteer project in conjunction with Camp Fire USA that will affect the tally.
"It's pretty exciting that she's doing this and giving back to the community that's coming out to support her," Grant said. "She doesn't know it, but she's my new BFF."

Speaking of Aflac,I had it at the job I quit back in 92,within a month of starting my new job I suffered a spinal cord injury and spent 8 days in ICU and a total of 13 days in the hospital,then 30 days inpatient rehab.I saw the commercial on tv after getting home from rehab and said I had that at my last job,I called the HR person and asked about my Aflac policy.I was still covered when I got hurt,the rep came by and filled out the paperwork and about a week later he showed up with a check for $14,200,it supplemented my work comp until my SSD kicked in and I didn't have to worry about any normal bills
Now, that's interesting.

It is also the largest user of electrical power in Arizona.
In 2003, Bob was elected to the Arizona State Senate, where he again distinguished himself as an outstanding leader. Bob served as Chairman of Appropriations, and on a number of committees, including Rules, and Finance.
In 2009, Bob was elected as President of the Arizona Senate, and served as such until 2010. During the twenty years that Bob served in the Legislature, he was Chairman of the Appropriations Committee for fourteen years.
While serving in the Legislature, Bob Burns received many recognitions and awards, including:
Bob's public and community service extends beyond his substantial time in the Legislature. As an active member of the community, Bob has served on the Board of Directors for Friends of the West Valley Recreation Corridor, is a member of Arizona Town Hall, and is a member of the Glendale Kachina Rotary Club.
In 1996, Bob initiated the legislation that created the Arizona Telemedicine Program. He became the first Chair of the Telemedicine Council and continues to serve in that capacity. In the past, Bob has sponsored an in-line rollerblade hockey team, sponsored and coached numerous Summer Baseball League teams, and held membership in the Arizona, Phoenix and Glendale Chambers of Commerce.
Bob Burns was born and raised in Rolfe, Iowa. He and Gayle have been married for 52 years, and have two sons, five grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

Meat in Tesco burgers found to contain horse DNA did not come from a list of approved suppliers, the supermarket said today.
The meat also came from outside the UK or Ireland — contrary to company policy. The supermarket said it has dropped frozen burger supplier Silvercrest following what it termed a "breach of trust".
It has vowed to introduce a DNA testing system on meat products to "ensure the quality" of the food it sells in the wake of the scandal.
"We now understand, with as much certainty as possible, what happened," said the firm. "The evidence tells us that Silvercrest used meat in our products that did not come from the list of approved suppliers we gave them.
"Nor was the meat from the UK or Ireland, despite our instruction that only beef from there should be used in our frozen beefburgers."
Paul Finnerty, CEO of ABP
Food Group, parent company of Silvercrest, said: "We have learnt
important lessons from this incident and we are determined to ensure that this
never happens again".

Each child is unique. Infants reach such milestones as waving bye-bye or smiling in response to a smile at different ages. One child says several words at 12 months while another talks at 18 months. However, consider screening for a child who seems to be much later than others his age in reaching developmental milestones. Remember autism is only one possible reason for delays. Discuss any concerns with a doctor so the child can be screened. A child who is identified with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can begin getting special help. This may limit the symptoms and help the child lead a fuller life.
ASDs are developmental disabilities that can cause social, language, and behavior problems. The symptoms and severity of ASDs vary greatly. This can make it hard to define or diagnose them. Be more concerned if your child has more than one sign or symptom.

I have spoke with individuals in multiple buildings and we all had the same problem. Pest control would come and spray every two weeks, but the roaches were literally coming out of the walls.

Is vinyl sheet my best bet?
Removed disgusting soaked-through carpet and padding. The wood floors underneath vary in condition. One has areas with warped boards and was clearly soaked far down. One or two rooms you might not know there was a problem, but they are just old looking and dirty.
The budget is tight, I need the cheapest that most people would find acceptable to live with short term, like if they were renting for a month. Whatever I choose should last for years, but it's okay if it looks worn after a few years. Low to normal traffic.
Can I cut vinyl rolls and staple them down around the edges, and that's it, without gluing? (In the tiny doorway areas, I could put thicker vinyl and glue those parts, so those are done right.) I believe the biggest problem is if I can't find a big enough piece, and have to have a seam down the middle of the room. So I would try to follow the usual suggested procedures for seams.
If I went with lauan, could I nail or screw or glue that down, and stop there? I know it's supposed to be an underlayment, but that may feel and look nicer than vinyl. Would it wear out faster, or not hold up to occasionally getting wet? Vinyl is much cheaper if I use thinner uglier vinyl.
Vinyl seems to be 50 cents per sq foot or even less. Nothing else comes close? I believe the floors will feel hard, but I don't have other options? I am trying to avoid carpet and carpet costs too much with padding.
If I were renting for a month, and I viewed a property that had laminate flooring in living areas other than the kitchen, bath or laundry, I'd promptly turn around and walk back out.
If you have warped boards, address the issue first. Stapling vinyl on edges... are you nuts? Lauan? Now it's insulting.
Get carper, hardwood, tile, whatever. Do it right and don't consider renting until it's up to par.
If this property is something you are renting isn't it the landlords responsibility to replace the flooring?
While some laminates look realistic, and may last a long time, hardwood would last longer. And there are many affordable options in engineered hardwood flooring.
Watch for online clearance lots. Sometimes they have a color that didn't move as well and they are just trying to sell. We have several lots moving into the clearance section from $2.29/sq.ft.
Keep your options open until you are comfortable with your decision.

--- I am speechless---
"The budget is tight, I need the cheapest that most people would find acceptable to live with short term, like if they were renting for a month. Whatever I choose should last for years, but it's okay if it looks worn after a few years. Low to normal traffic."
---look for cheaper foam backed carpet yor can just lay in and don't bring the stapler---
I get it, it sounds horrible to you. Renting was an example. This is not to be rented, but to have a roof over my head temporarily. The options are either go with the horrible cheap flooring or eat cheap food for weeks so I can afford good flooring. I don't want good flooring since I won't be there long term, but obviously I need to do something.
Thanks for the foam carpet idea. However as the original post said, I am trying to avoid carpet. I may do carpet if everything else sucks.
I have rugs to put over the vinyl or plywood or other.
We've used throw rugs for the last couple of years to cover the subfloor plywood until we (I) finished the major construction, just to have a comfortable surface to walk on until I (we) can afford to get the flooring we want in each room, be it carpet, hardwood, cork, etc.
Vinyl Sheet
You HAVE to repair the subfloor. Can't install over warped, damaged, or have any moisture. You will have huge problems. Do not staple sheet vinyl. Look for remnants in any flooring store or home improvement wherehouse. You will save 25% or so. Use the adhesive that is specifically for sheet vinyl. (there are many different kinds, felt backed, luxioury (can't spell that), don't use VCT though, thats for the vinyl composition tile only.) There is a simple adhesive for sheet vinyl, but you probably have to go to a flooring specialty store (home depot doesn't carry it anymore, don't know if lowes does) Good luck!
I'm thinking of spending a little more to get underlayment and wood laminate. I found a cheaper source, and it's not much more than sheet vinyl plus adhesive.
In a couple rooms, I believe the subfloor is in good enough condition to do that, with minor sanding. In a couple rooms, yeah, got to work on the subfloor. Those rooms can wait longer than the easier rooms.
I was also considering putting pad and carpet down. I would rather not, but pad and carpet is actually a lot cheaper. (I already have some in great condition pulled up from another room.) However I am not going to spend for installation or to rent equipment, so I don't think I can do the carpet well enough at the edges. Laminate seems easier and probably worth it.
Have you considered fixing the subfloor where its damaged and going with a cheap self stick vinyl tile? Get some on clearance and they can be real cheap and real easy to put in.
Personaly , I believe self stick vinyl tiles should be outlawed. I could say more but :whistling2:
Yeah, every time I've used them or seen them used, I vow never again. I rarely see them really cheap either. Definitely sheet vinyl over tiles. Hopefully the wood laminate.
if you're looking at different laminates be sure to look for those with the 'drop lock' installation method. Its much easier to install and provides a superior and longer lasting application.
They always have peel-N-stick cheap at the dollar stores. I've used AND removed them without hassles. They fit the bill for a few years until you can afford to put in better. (If applicable) Sheet vinyl is harder too since you have to cut it exact to size, then lay it without one speck of dirt under it or you have a bump. Square by square, you can have a vacuum right next to you and clean each 12"x12" area before laying the tile. It's fast and cheap flooring you can put in a rental easily and not worry too much about renters trashing it. (Our minister was a landlord too, and I did a lot of work for him.)
A suggestion, is the current wood floor in good enough condition to belt sand and then paint/stain?

George Entwistle broke his public silence over the Savile crisis this morning with an interview on the Today programme, which you can listen to here. The question is whether he has handled himself well over the past week or so, as it has taken a week to put himself forward as the BBC's spokesman. In the intervening time, disturbing allegations about Savile have been turned into a BBC crisis, with the corporation bobbing like a cork in the water as the powerful ITV Exposure documentary was heavily trailed, aired, and raked over last week.
There were two concessions of sorts from the new leaders this morning. Entwistle seems now to concede that there is a need for a BBC inquiry in due course, which is after the police complete their investigations. "Then we can take a look properly," Entwistle said. Of course the police process must take primacy, but is it really beyond the wit of BBC executives to begin an inquiry that does not compromise the police investigation? It could start by covering areas that the police would not: current processes at that BBC, for example.
The director-general was also asked about his own role in the decision to drop the Newsnight investigation about Savile last December. It sounds like this is an area where Entwistle does not feel entirely comfortable. Entwistle told Evan Davis that he was "told" about the existence of the investigation in his previous capacity of "head of vision" (director of television to you). He added that Newsnight editor Rippon "had made it absolutely clear that he was not brought under any pressure" to drop the investigation.
Davis did not press Entwistle what he thought about the investigation at the time, or whether happy with the decision to drop it. Instead, he simply said that he was "not prepared to use hindsight" to say that Rippon made a mistake at the time. Presumably, then, the decision to drop the Newsnight film with all its consequences ten months after is fair enough.
Why is the BBC struggling? The most likely explanation is that this is a new regime in training. Executives seem to give the impression they don't want to respond to events just because the press is in hysterics. Sometimes, though, the press is hysterical and right. But it is significant too, that the corporation is light at the top just now without a director of television and with a director of news, Helen Boaden, who is notoriously camera shy.
Entwistle even be ruing giving Caroline Thomson the push so quickly just because she missed out on the top job – she was an old hand at dealing with such situations. Everywhere, the crisis playbook is pretty uncomplicated: establish the facts as best you can, share what information you know, apologise as appropriate, launch an inquiry if it is necessary. But that always needs key executives be willing to go along with it; the surprise is that this BBC management with nothing to hide did not.
Anybody else out there think the BBC has done enough to address the Jimmy Savile allegations?

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton wouldn't say whether or not Pierre Thomas would be healthy enough to play Sunday versus Buffalo, but it's a good sign that Thomas practiced fully on Wednesday as he continues to recover from a sprained MCL. If he is healthy, he will probably step in for Mike Bell, who was stepping in for Thomas before he sprained his right knee in week 2. But Lynell Hamilton also cannot be ignored. The undrafted 24-year-old from San Diego State told reporters Wednesday that he received most of the reps with the first team and expects to have a heavy workload against Buffalo
Bell didn't practice on Tuesday and considering that his injury is very similar to the one that Thomas suffered in the preseason, you shouldn't expect him to be on the field for at least week three. We will continue to track Thomas' progress, but Hamilton is a guy to have on your radar. Any running back in this Saints' offense certainly has some value. Hamilton is listed at six feet, 235 pounds, so if anything he may be a good short-yardage back if Thomas and Bell both miss the game against the Bills.

When I was a kid my dog sometimes prevented dad from delivering what otherwise would have been a well deserved wallop. Today, my dogs are very protective and get visibly upset when my wife and I just play fight.
I take one-on-one private martial arts lessons (Krav and Arnis) and today the young man who works with me brought his dog (it was a pit bull) to the facility where he teaches.
The dog was really sweet and very well behaved, but I was a little uneasy that it might get upset when my instructor and I engaged in various hand to hand stuff. I feared the dog might think we were fighting and act protectively.
It worked out O.K. today. Very well actually, as dog sat in a corner and ignored us.
My question is, do you guys think it is safe to have the dog around when we are "fighting," or do you think I should ask him to leave it at home?
(Let's not let this deteriorate into a dog breed thread. I just want opinions on whether or not to allow the dog to be present or ask that he leave the dog at home.)

2008-2013 Cadillac CTS General Discussion Discussion, It is official! in Cadillac CTS Second Generation Forum - 2008-2013; ...
It is official!
So it is official my 08 CTS has gained the title of the car I have owned the longest! It happened at the end of November 2012 when the car hit its 5th anniversary
As most of you are aware my initial experience was absolutely horrible as the car has been to the dealer more times that all my and my wifes car combined in our 30+ years history of car ownership. Still somehow it survived maybe I just liked it too much ..Right now (knock on the wood!) the car is OK, moreover, even battery works! So I intend to keep it for a while. My next car? I honestly have no idea new CTS? MB E-class? Infinity M37? Lexus GS? Time will tell. I just hope that GM will not lose its focus on cars as finally it seems they are getting their act together .

Re: It is official!
My 2010 has been a great vehicle but I may get the itch before the 2014s come out. The 2014 MB E-class looks pretty good which is due out this spring. Or perhaps one of the upcoming auto shows will display the next generation CTS to give us CTS owners with the itch something to hold-out for.
Re: It is official!
Mofex, thanks so much for sharing that news! I'm pleased to hear everything is running smoothly for you now!

Re: It is official!
Something tells me your next car will likely be the Infiniti M37 or MB E-class... unless Cadillac totally surprises and delights you with the upcoming gen-3 CTS!
Re: It is official!
Katie, RAB, others,
Thank you for congratulations
Next car, I am really not sure. I have never own two the same cars in my long car ownership history. Why? I have not foggiest idea as my friend would say…..there are so many choices….I may go green and buy a Prius as a daily driver and something else for fun….I know one thing the decision will come suddenly, I just do not know when.
What is definitely on the short list now is the new CTS, MB E-class, Infiniti M37, Lexus GS, I might even look again at ATC. There is also a very slight possibility that I will get something "common", like an Accord…..time will tell.
During the CTS-V lab I attended late last summer I met with CTS development engineer and he indicated that the 3-rd generation CTS would be available fall 2013. He did not mention where it would be revealed though. Based however on my experience with CTS I will never ever but a GM first model year car. Period!
Re: It is official!
From an article on GMAuthority.com dated November2, 2012:
From the recent words coming from Cadillac VP of marketing Don Butler, the world should expect the next-generation CTS to close the $8,000-odd gap between the current model and the more expensive BMW 5 Series. The new CTS is expected to be unveiled during the 2013 North American Auto Show, as a 2014 model and will be a global car.
The price hike is not unwarranted, as the new CTS is expected to come with more size, power, refinement and technology to squarely compete with the best in the D/E-segment of luxury automobiles, featuring leaders such as the 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
In a report from Automotive News, Butler stated that it's part of Cadillac's strategy to earn more credibility in the luxury segment by pricing and contenting vehicles to better match its rivals. However there are still plans of undercutting the competition, but not to a degree that was seen in the past.
"We want to be competitive, but I don't want to be in a position where in a sense I'm bribing consumers to experience our product," Butler said.

Why "IPO" in America?
Why are german shepherd dogs earning IPO titles in America and not Sch anymore?
If they're the same thing, what's the point in changing the name?
I'm just curious, if no one wants to answer, can someone just post a link with answers? :)
I've also been thinking about this.
I always thought they were the same...maybe not? I'm very interested to see what replies you get.

As of 2012, everything is IPO. This was an international rule change. SchH no longer exists under that old name.
There used to be both IPO and SchH. Then some countries had VPG to hopefully pacify the fear mongers and green party (ARists). In 2012 all countries agreed to follow one set of rules and SchH was no more.
We need to stop posting at the same time, Chris. LOL
Reason was, as I understand it, to create uniformity. (Simplifying stuff for the humans involved).
I could google it, but so we all know- what does IPO stand for?
Internationale Prufungs Ordnung or translated to International trial Rules. As middleofnowhere said, the way I understood it, schutzhund changed to IPO so that all countries were using the same rules. Too me, it makes sense because IPO is an internationally competitive sport.
That is definitely the politically correct reason given. ;)

In todays litigious world adults playing around as a 'kids' amongst other real kids (aged 17 and lower) is a fools folly IMHO.
