An H-1B visa is a U.S. work permit that allows foreigners to work "specialty occupations" for U.S. employers. This means that your employment in the United States cannot be for just any type of work; the work performed must involve a high level of skill such as in a professional occupation.
Most applicants under the H-1B work visa category are highly educated with a university degree. However, a high education is not always necessary. Some H-1B visas can be granted to applicants with little education but with lots of work experience.
To qualify for an H-1B visa, you must perform services in the U.S. in a specialty occupation. You must have:
The nature of the specific duties of your job offer must be so specialized and complex that knowledge required to perform the duties is usually associated with a bachelor's degree, where your U.S. employer would normally require a degree for the position offered.
The degree requirement would be common to the industry in parallel positions among similar organizations or the duties of the positions are so complex that only a person with a degree can perform them.
It is important to note that where a degree is not usually required for an occupation,
an H-2B work visa may be appropriate.
There are 4 steps involved in the H-1B visa application process:
The employer must determine the "prevailing wage" for the complete job offered to the foreign national. This is usually done by filing a request with the state employment security agency (SESA). The wage must be higher than or within 5% of the prevailing wage in the state on the indented employment.
The employer must file a Labor Condition Attestation (LCA) with the United States Department of Labor (DOL). The LCA contains information about the nature of the occupation, the number of foreign workers that have been hired by the employer and the wages paid to the foreign workers.
The LCA also contains a written promise that foreign nationals will be paid the higher of the prevailing wage or the actual wage paid to similarly situated workers; that there are no strikes or lockouts in process involving jobs to be filled by H-1B visa workers and that the employer has given notice of the filing of H-1B attestations to either the labor union (if one exists) or has posted notice of the filing in a conspicuous place for other workers to see.
The DOL will certify the LCA if it has been completed properly and will provide the employer with an endorsed copy which will be used in support of the H-1B petition.
The employer files the H-1B Visa Petition with the USCIS in the United States.
Once the Petition is approved, the application is filed by the foreign national to the U.S Consulate. IF YOU ARE CANADIAN, you can simply go to a U.S. port of entry with the approved petition and be admitted.
Applying for an H-1B visa requires a great deal of preparation, including assembling the proper paperwork, following the proper procedures and knowing where to file and when. H-1B visas are also subject to annual quotas, so its essential that your application is submitted on time.

I was thinking about the kind of case that would be a good choice for storing an AR15. I'm not really sure what I'm going to end up with but with the cost of a rifle easily approaching or exceeding a thousand dollars by the time you finish it out with optics, etc., it makes sense to perserve and protect it in a nice durable case. I've never had any but the Pelicans look like they are really nice cases and they appear to be the same ones that the military use, etc.
Do any of you guys use Pelican cases and if so, what do you have to say about them? From what I can tell, a case to house a rifle is going to be right around the $200 range. It seems like a lot of money for a case but if it protects a somewhat expensive rifle w/optics, it may be worth it in the long run. If you take care of it, it may even possibly outlast the rifle in which you could use it for the next - if that ever happens to be the case. I'm not too worried about this part because by the time I wear the rifle out, I suspect I'll be too old, sick and crippled to worry about replacing it. ;-)
WARNING: The following is me trying to RATIONALIZE;
I guess this isn't really any different than a guy buying a $180 guitar case for a $1,200 guitar...

Back once again…
- To create a different context and a new kind of space for artists to try out new ideas and show unusual work – one-on-one encounters, audio walks, video installations, interventions, happenings. In other words, hopefully almost anything that someone might come up with.
- To visit different parts of the country and meet new audiences and artists who couldn't or wouldn't come to Edinburgh. To have the opportunity to introduce those people to the kind of work that we love and invite them to become a part of the Forest Fringe community.
- To explore new spaces. Or to find new ways of using old spaces. To repurpose and reimagine them for what we want to do.
- To create an event that can act as a gathering point for artists, audiences and producers in different parts of the country. A chance to come together – so that we can learn from them and they can learn from us. To create a spark from which new ideas and new projects can spring.

Mr. Chili and I celebrate 12 years of marriage on Sunday. In honor of that milestone, I offer this Thought for Thursday, attributed to Freidrich Neitzsche:
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
Are YOU lucky (or smart) enough to have married your best friend? What do you think are the essential components to a successful and enduring marriage? How do you maintain your friendships, whether in a marriage or not?

text: NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TG Therapeutics, Inc. (TGTX) today announced that it has amended its Phase I/II study of single agent ublituximab to initiate its first expansion cohort following early signs of clinical activity. The protocol has been expanded to enroll up to 25 additional patients at the 900 mg dose level in the Phase I/II trial evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ublituximab, the Company's novel third-generation anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, for patients with rituximab (Rituxan®) relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Dose escalation will continue as planned to the 1200 mg dose cohort. Following successful completion of the dose escalation component of the study, an additional expansion cohort may be added at the highest dose of 1200 mg. The trial, entitled "An Open Label Phase I/II Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of Ublituximab in Patients with B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma who have Relapsed or are Refractory After CD20 Directed Antibody Therapy," (NCT01647971) has completed enrollment in 3 cohorts (450, 600 and 900mg) in the Phase I dose escalation component. All patients continue to be stratified by subtype of B-cell Lymphoma and all enrolled patients will be relapsed or refractory to Rituxan® or a Rituxan® containing regimen, and in most cases multiple other lines of therapy. In addition to the cohort expansion, the study was amended to now allow enrollment of patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) as well as Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL). Phase I data from a trial conducted in France with ublituximab administered as a single agent at a dose of 450 mg to relapsed and refractory CLL patients reported an objective response rate of 45%, with a manageable safety profile. Dr. Owen O'Connor, Professor of Medicine and Director, Center for Lymphoid Malignancies at New York Presbyterian Columbia Medical Center, and the principal investigator of the trial stated "Ublituximab has been well-tolerated at all dose levels tested with no dose limiting toxicities seen to date. Coupled with the clinical activity seen in both rituximab relapsed and refractory patients across the dose levels tested thus far, we made the determination to expand the 900mg dose while we continue dose escalating. We look forward to expanding the study to better evaluate the safety and efficacy profile of ublituximab in multiple sub-types of B-cell malignancies."

Tennessee's 2010-11 basketball schedule features numerous noteworthy storylines in non-conference play. Here are just a few to ponder, as the Vols' first exhibition game is just 64 days away.
Monday, Nov. 8
Exhibition vs. Indianapolis - The Greyhounds are coached by Stan Gouard (pronounced: jerr-ARD), who starred as a collegian for sixth-year UT head coach Bruce Pearl at Southern Indiana. Pearl and Gouard teamed to lead USI to a national championship in 1995 and a pair of Great Lakes Valley titles.
During his playing days at Southern Indiana, Gouard helped the Eagles to an 82-12 overall record and was twice named the NABC Division II National Player of the Year. He also was recognized as the NCAA Division II Elite Eight Most Outstanding Player and the CBS/Chevrolet MVP of the national championship game in 1994.
Entering his third season at UIndy, Gouard brought his first Indianapolis squad to Knoxville for an exhibition game on Nov. 3, 2008, when Pearl led Tennessee to an 87-73 victory over his former pupil.
Friday, Nov. 12
Chattanooga - Tennessee's regular-season opener could mark a homecoming of sorts for a pair of Mocs student-athletes. Sophomore forwards Drew Baker (Karns HS) and Sam Watson (Farragut HS) are Knoxville natives.
Houston Fancher, Tennessee's coordinator of video scouting, regularly faced Chattanooga head coach John Shulman in Southern Conference action when Fancher was the head coach at Appalachian State.
Tennessee's crowds for home-openers have been impressive during Bruce Pearl's five previous seasons on Rocky Top. The Vols draw an average of 20,144 fans in home-openers during the Pearl era. Will you be there this season?
Tuesday, Nov. 16 (and Thursday, Dec. 23)
Belmont - Due to an odd scheduling happenstance with the NIT Season Tip-Off, Tennessee faces in-state foe Belmont twice during the regular season. The Bruins are led by veteran head coach Rick Byrd, who is a two-time graduate of the University of Tennessee (1976 and 1977) and a Knoxville native. Byrd--who once served as a student assistant coach at UT under the legendary Ray Mears--recently guided Belmont to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and a share of three Atlantic Sun Conference regular-season titles in the past five years.
Belmont's roster includes redshirt freshman forward Blake Jenkins, who is the son of former Vols letterman Fred Jenkins (1984-87). Blake is a graduate of Knoxville's Bearden High School, and Fred is fifth on Tennessee's career steals list (177) and remains the only player ever to lead the Vols in steals for four straight seasons.
Wednesday, Nov. 24
Potential NIT Season Tip-Off Semifinal Matchup vs. Wake Forest - Holding down the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, respectively, Tennessee and Wake Forest could potentially meet up in the NIT Season Tip-Off semifinals in New York City's Madison Square Garden just prior to Thanksgiving. The Volunteers lead the all-time series with the Demon Deacons 7-2, dating to 1947. But UT is just 1-2 against Wake Forest away from Knoxville. The programs have not met since Dec. 8, 1970, when the Vols posted a 60-59 win in Winston-Salem.
Tuesday, Nov. 30
Middle Tennessee - Tennessee's new coordinator of video scouting, Houston Fancher, is a 1988 graduate of Middle Tennessee. Fancher is hoping the Vols can extend their streak of eight consecutive wins over the Blue Raiders, which stretches back to Dec. 5, 1991.
Another Knoxville native will return home as part of the Middle Tennessee roster, as sophomore guard and Fulton High School graduate James Gallman makes an appearance in Thompson-Boling Arena.
Saturday, Dec. 11
at Pittsburgh - This contest will be played in the brand new CONSOL Energy Center, which serves as the home of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins. An Aug. 18 Paul McCartney concert served as the venue's Grand Opening event. The facility seats 19,000 for basketball games.
When the Vols and Panthers tipoff against each other for the first time since 1999 (UT leads the all-time series 3-1), it will mark a meeting of two of the winningest active NCAA Division I head coaches. Eighth-year Pitt coach Jamie Dixon's .777 (188-54) career winning percentage ranks third among Division I coaches with at least five years of experience, while Pearl's .773 (443-130) winning percentage ranks fourth. And each coach has led his current school to three NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearances.
Tuesday, Dec. 14
Oakland - Oakland University, a member of the Summit League, is located just 30 miles from Detroit, Mich., where Tennessee associate head coach Tony Jones grew up and got his start in coaching. Jones was an All-City performer at Detroit Southwestern High School before serving as assistant varsity coach and head junior varsity coach there from 1986-91. During that time, he coached future NBA players Jalen Rose, Howard Eisley and Voshon Lenard. Jones helped lead Southwestern to the USA Today national title in 1991 and also guided Team AAU Michigan to a pair of state titles.
Tuesday, Dec. 21
Southern California - Former Tennessee head coach Kevin O'Neill makes his return to Thompson-Boling Arena in his second year coaching the USC Trojans. O'Neill coached at UT from 1994-97, compiling a 36-47 (.434) record and leading the Vols to an NIT appearance in 1996. The last time a former Tennessee head coach brought his new team to Knoxville to face the Vols on the hardwood, Don DeVoe's Florida squad was handed a 75-57 loss (Feb. 17, 1990).
This season, the Vols look to avenge a loss at Southern Cal's Galen Center last December. The Vols lead the all-time series with the Trojans 4-2.
Wednesday, Jan. 5
Memphis - Tennessee looks to end a streak of three straight games in this series in which the road team has emerged victorious. The Vols claimed victories in FedEx Forum during the 2007-08 and 2009-10 seasons, while the Tigers escaped Knoxville with a two-point win in 2008-09.
The Vols lead the all-time series with Memphis 13-8, dating to 1969.
Saturday, Jan. 22
UConn - Bruce Pearl and UConn head coach Jim Calhoun share more in common than simply ranking among the most successful coaches in college basketball--both are also Massachusetts natives. Pearl hails from the town of Sharon, while Calhoun was raised in Braintree. Just 15 miles separate the two towns.
Pearl and Calhoun also share the elite distinction of being among only six active coaches with 10 or more NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearances to their credit.
Tennessee defeated UConn in the programs' only previous meeting on the hardwood, posting a 65-51 win in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on March 19, 2000, in Birmingham, Ala.

The Ultimate Fighter 18 preview ~ Five favorites for the first womens season
Apparently this article of mine caused controversy:
Five women who could pull this off under ideal conditions

History is being made this Wednesday when the first season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) featuring women takes place on Fox Sports1. It is certainly groundbreaking considering the first womens fight in the UFC only took place six months ago at UFC 157.
It will also bring a unique challenge of mixing the two genders in the TUF house which has been known for lots of drama and pranks. Of the initially announced cast in the womens division, five names stand out to me as favorites who could potentially become the equivalent of Roy Nelson in winning this season. It is because of this, that I would like to address these five women, on why I believe they have what it takes to win the show, based on their experience.
Colleen Schneider
Of the five women who could potentially win this season, Colleen Schneider is probably the most inexperienced. She only started fighting professionally in 2010, and out of the gate had a loosing record of 1-4. However, she has found her own in the India based Super Fight League, going 3-0 in that promotion, and winning their inaugural Womens Flyweight Championship.
Like several of the womens vets in this season (and currently in the UFC for that matter), she is a flyweight moving up to the only womens weight class currently in the UFC. She is probably not on the UFCs primary roster radar, as of right now, because of her even record of 4-4 and instead is being given the chance to prove herself in the house.
Roxanne Modafferi
Roxanne Modafferi is a woman who has seen a lot of wars in her career and has pulled off more than a few accomplishments. A veteran of Strikeforce (known for being on the receiving end of a Rampage style slam by Sara Kaufman), Modafferi has mostly competed in Japan for various promotions.
Her championship accomplishments include the IFC and ISKA Womens Middleweight Championships (awarded to her in the same fight), FFF Womens Lightweight Championship, and winning the K-Grace Womens Open Weight Tournament. Modafferi is for the most part a solid bantamweight, but has fought at flyweight once. Shes probably going through TUF because of her recent five fight losing streak.
Shayna Baszler
Shayna Baszler is a woman who has fought the best in order to be counted among the best. She has fought the likes of Kelly Kobold, Julie Kedzie, the above mentioned Modafferi, Tara LaRosa, Cristiane Cyborg Justino, Sarah Kaufman, Alexis Davis twice, and Sara McMann.
Among her accomplishments are the FCF Womens Bantamweight Grand Prix Championship and the TCI Womens 140 lbs. Championship. She is a pretty solid bantamweight so there shouldnt be any issue of being overpowered by any other women in the house. She is also a three time veteran of Invicta, however due to going 1-2 in that promotion, she probably has to prove herself in the house before going into the UFC.
Tara LaRosa
Tara LaRosa has also seen her share of wars and has fought the more big names of womens MMA. Her list of opponents include the aforementioned Baszler and Modafferi, Hitomi Akano, Julie Kedzie, Kelly Kobold, Alexis Davis, and Carina Damm. Her accomplishments include the UCW Womens Bantamweight Championship, the BodogFight Womens Bantamweight Championship, the Locked in the Cage Womens Flyweight Championship, and the DaMMAge Fight League Womens Super Flyweight Championship.
Though she has spent most of her career fighting at bantamweight, shes recently ventured into flyweight, but has also had problems making weight in that weight class, indicating that the UFC bantamweight division for now is probably a better place for her. Also an Invicta vet, shes probably going through TUF because she also bears a loss on her record for her last fight.
Tonya Evinger
This is not the first occasion that Tonya Evinger has made history in womens MMA. Together with Jennifer Tate, Evinger partook in the first womens MMA bout sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission. Shes fought the likes Gina Carano, Julie Kedzie, Alexis Davis twice, Sara McMann, and Carina Damm.
Of the five women, Evinger has the most momentum going into the TUF house on a three fight win streak, begging the question as to why she isnt going straight into the UFC. Something else that makes her unique in the TUF house is that she is to date, the only fighter (as far as we know) that is gay, and if she makes it into the UFC, will be one of only two on the whole roster along with Liz Carmouche.
~ Closing Notes ~
While these women are favored, this is MMA where anything can happen and just because they have been in womens MMA for a while, doesnt mean one of the other eleven women on the show wont become the next break through star in the sport.

IL and STX are proud to bring you a full line up of brand new content specifically designed for women. Lax Her Essentials is a feature focused on delivering you content for the player and by the player, covering everything from skill-building, lifestyle products, players' mindset and more.
This week's Lax Her Essential is the third part of a three-part series related to football. The first part helped you plan the perfect football tailgate, the second part helped you prep for the first week of fantasy football and this week we're going to take a bit of a different turn.
Let's face it, not all of us can go to a school like USC or Notre Dame or Alabama where you're always on the top of the college football landscape. It can be tough, whether you're a student, alum or just a fan of a team to stay positive when the going gets tough. This is one of those instances where I can speak from experience. If you frequent ILWomen, you might know that I went to the University of Colorado (Go Buffs!) and that I'm extremely excitable when it comes to anything related to my alma mater. I run an alumni chapter here in Baltimore, I try to watch as many games as possible. I bleed black and gold (different black and gold than the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ravens fans)!
If you follow college football, you might know that Colorado isn't quite reveling in its glory days. In fact, my Buffs haven't finished at or above .500 since 2005, when they finished 7-6. The competition has only gotten tougher since last season's move to the Pac-12 Conference. The Buffs are 0-2 with losses to rival Colorado State and FCS opponent Sacramento State last weekend. To put this in perspective, I'll hand things over to a family friend who is a Buffs' season ticket holder and said this in an email to me this week:
"There are few excuses that could ever explain what happened last Saturday. It was the weirdest game I've ever attended in my 28 years as a season ticket holder. And, it was THE lowest point this program has ever descended in to."
Since I've now hit the bottom, I figure there is nowhere to go but up, so who better to offer some tips for staying positive through thick and thin than me? Alright, here we go:
1. Surround yourself with positive people: Or in my case, friends who will at least pretend to be positive until I've left the room.
2. Tailgate: Mostly because it's always fun, but being surrounded by fellow fans in a peppy atmosphere will surely help your spirits.
3. Look at the bright side: There's always a silver lining or a positive outlook for every scenario. In CU's case, it's basketball, cross country, skiing, academics and many other things. Can't forget to throw lacrosse in there too. It's an overall exciting time.
4. Hang on and never give up hope: This is possibly the most important part. You absolutely, positively can never give in. What goes around comes around. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Carpe Diem! Ok, so that third one doesn't quite apply, but you get my drift. There will come a time when all the pain of losing will seem so far away and your team will be back on top. This is how I feel about actual Baltimore Orioles fans right now. I'm just a bandwagon-hopper who is enjoying watching meaningful baseball games in September and a team fighting for first in the ruthless AL East. But for actual fans — Baltimore natives who have been with the O's through an extremely rough recent history — this is what you live for! There's no better feeling than winning, particularly when it comes after a road of adversity and toughing it out through the losing seasons. Have faith and confidence that things will turn around. Success will eventually come.

Moscow (CNSNews.com) - Russia has reiterated its willingness to write off some of the $8 billion debt it is owed by Iraq.
"Russia is prepared to substantially reduce the debt and also to reach agreements on the repayment of the remaining part of the debt," Deputy Foreign Minister Yury Fedotov announced.
He said Moscow was ready to begin negotiations, either with the interim government currently in place, or with the one that takes power following elections scheduled for next January.
Fedotov expressed Moscow's hope that the January election would go ahead as planned.
At one point, Russia said it would not write off Iraqi debt, after learning that it could not participate in U.S.-funded postwar reconstruction projects.
In exchange for its willingness to cancel some of the debt, Moscow expects rewards such as oil deals with the new government.
Russia's top oil company, LUKoil, hopes to salvage a $4-billion oil production agreement which was signed with Baghdad in 1997 but canceled by Saddam Hussein shortly before last year's war.
Moscow's responses to developments in Iraq have been mixed.
Russia opposed the war that toppled Saddam, but agreed to help Iraq's recovery. Last June, it welcomed the transfer of power to the interim government and pledged to help it -- but ruled out contributing troops to the U.S.-led coalition.
Fedotov complained at the weekend that "a lack of security" was holding up plans by Russian companies to begin rehabilitation and development projects in Iraq.
On Tuesday, Russia expressed concern about the offensive now underway in Fallujah, a Sunni city that has become a stronghold of anti-coalition forces and terrorists.
The operation in Fallujah "should not entail casualties among the Iraqi civilians, and it should be proportional to the threat," Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Yakovenko told reporters.

Home > About Us > Faculty & Staff Directory > Ronald Ferguson
Ronald F. Ferguson is an MIT-trained economist who focuses social science research on economic, social, and educational challenges. He has been on the faculty at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government since 1983, after full time appointments at Brandeis and Brown Universities. In 2014, he co-founded Tripod Education Partners and shifted into an adjunct role at the Kennedy School, where he remains a fellow at the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy and faculty director of the university-wide Achievement Gap Initiative (AGI).
During the 1980s and '90s Ron focused much his attention on economic and community development. That work culminated in the social science synthesis volume Urban Problems and Community Development (1999), which remains an important text in graduate policy courses.
By the late1980s he had begun to study education and youth development because academic skill disparities were contributing to growing wage disparity. During the 1990s and early 2000s, his writings on the topic appeared in publications of the National Research Council, the Brookings Institution, the U.S. Department of Education, and various books and journals. In December 2007, Harvard Education Press published his book Toward Excellence with Equity: An Emerging Vision for Closing the Achievement Gap. A February 2011 profile of Ron in the New York Times wrote, "there is no one in America who knows more about the gap that Ronald Ferguson."
Ron's current focus as AGI director is an initiative entitled the Boston Basics. It takes a socio-ecological saturation approach, collaborating with many partners to reach extended families with caregiving advice for infants and toddlers. In addition, Ron is co-authoring a book with journalist Tatsha Robertson on the ways that highly successful people were parented.
Ron holds an undergraduate degree from Cornell University and a PhD from MIT, both in economics. He has been happily married for 38 years and is the father of two adult sons

A little bit about me
I'm a 36-year-old Montana native now living in Seattle, Washington. My life and family are blessings beyond what I deserve. Crystal and I have been married for 14 years and have four kids: Caleb, Kara, Orin, and Haley. We have a ton of fun together, enjoying sports, walks, family-nights, marbles, traveling, and a good laugh.
I have spent many years in the non-profit sector and most recently served as the CoPresident of Storyville Coffee Company, a premium coffee brand in the Seattle area. One thing I've learned is that every organization, whether a non-profit or business, is a collection of people on a shared mission. And every opportunity creates valuable leadership lessons to be learned. The more unified and prioritized a leadership team is, the more fun and profitable the work will be. I love helping leaders and organizations maximize this potential.

Aztex at JELD-WEN?
A win Tuesday earns a date at the MLS Portland Timbers
By Nick Barbaro,
3:59PM, Thu. May 16, 2013
The U.S. Open Cup third-round pairings were announced yesterday, and the Austin Aztex got a juicy draw indeed, if they make it past their second-round match Tuesday night at House Park with the USL-PRO Wilmington Hammerheads.
The Austin-Wilmington winner will be off to Portland, Oregon the next week, to face the Portland Timbers at historic Jeld-Wen Field – built in 1926, and home to the Timbers since 1975. That's pretty heady stuff for our little second-year PDL team, but then, the guys who've been here since last year can look around MLS and see a couple of their former teammates playing at that level already. And you can look at this year's roster, and see a number of guys who might have an MLS future, so … why not?
First, however, the Aztex have to get past Wilmington this coming Tuesday (7:30pm May 21 at House Park). The Hammerheads are a fully pro team in the United Soccer Leagues' USL-PRO, a level up from the amateur Aztex, but they're off to a slow start this year, losing their last five games after beating hapless Antigua in the season opener. Beating them will be an upset, but not a huge one.
Portland will be special.

hello all,
I am from NJ and am in Artesia, NM until mid dec. I was wondering if anyone would take me out for a hunt i dont mind traveling up to 5 hours. i know it may be a long shot but i am at border patrol academy and will miss out on the season otherwise. I am not allowed to have a gun here so i would have to borrow one but i can get all the other necessary gear(camo, waders, ammo). I am going home to NJ for a week before i head to my duty station in dec and would be willing to swap a hunt, we get some birds you guys dont ever see in NM that i would able to put you on. I know its some time before the season but i figured if i put this out there early enough i would have time to prepare.
Thank you all.

Why, gee-gee and one of the manager-chaps would sit up nights to see how many columns they could fill each day in the press.
"I guess it was my own sense of proportion that got out of kilter, gee-gee," he finally said.
Bob had the grace to blush and gee-gee, about to depart, noticed it.
As Gid-up and gee-gee were inseparable, it was but a step to place one by the other.
gee-gee stared, but she could see only a big shadowy form; she couldnt make out Bobs features.
He wondered in what part of the house gee-gee and Gid-up were domiciled?
Of course, the young ladies would not appear on the scene as gee-gee and Gid-up, in all probability.
gee-gee and Gid-up came in, the former in a state of great agitation.
There were times when gee-gee just had to moralize; it was born in her to do so.
Dick Earle turned out to be a bigger and darker copy of gee-gee.

Hi and welcome to my little corner of the Internet! My name is Jess, and I'm a twenty-something currently living in Washington, D.C. I'm a runner, rec league sports all-star, and lover of all things food, fitness and fun!
I love training for races of all different distances, although the half marathon is my favorite, and I'm border-line obsessed with my many rec league softball teams. (I also play flag football and volleyball).
I'm not fast, and I'll certainly never win any races, but I love running because crossing the finish line makes me feel like I accomplished something.
Aside from running and my rec league sports, I'm a huge fan of the University of Maryland Terrapins.
I graduated from UMD in December 2007 and still make it back to campus for several sporting events each season. In fact, I have season tickets to football and basketball. Tailgating is definitely my favorite fall activity.
In my day job, I work in digital media and strategic communications for a government agency. Basically that means blogging, Facebook and Twitter are a huge part of my full-time job, and sometimes I get to visit the White House. It's a fun gig.
I'm also going back to school part-time to get my MBA. When people ask me why, I half-jokingly tell them it's so I can rule the world one day.
Aside from my fitness and sports antics, you might also see the cuties below making some guest appearances on the blog from time to time.
I'm lucky enough to live close to my cousins, who have some of the most adorable kids around, and I love spending time with them. (Please promise you won't put me on STFUParents.)
Overall, I'm all about having fun and enjoying life while still being healthy. Health and fitness shouldn't be a chore, it should be fun! Because as I like to say, "Life is funner, with a runner!"
If you have questions or just want to get in touch with me, you can drop me an email at email@example.com or find me on Twitter @jessmilcetich.

In House With Too Short: MC Talks 'No Trespassing,' 'George Clooney of Hip-Hop,' Jill Scott
Too $hort enjoys when people refer to him as Todd Shaw. For those not in the know, the moniker is his government name and one that he greets strangers, friends and the like with. There's a whole other side to the man behind the dirty raps. A lauded Bay area rapper who helped launch the hyphy movement to the mainstream and has lyrics littered with expletives, Short prides himself on being a gentleman despite the pimp-related content that appears on many of his albums.
The West Coast MC's current opus, 'No Trespassing,' isn't a far cry from the previous 18 albums he's released in his storied career. He touches on weed with 'Cush Cologne,' tackles infidelity on the soulfully decadent, Martin Luther-assisted track 'I Got Caught' and serves up boastful spending on 'Boss.' The songs are up-tempo, the beats are smooth, the vocals are in his signature cadence and overall, the project is the perfect soundtrack for a road trip.
During a visit with The BoomBox, the 45-year-old hip-hop influencer put his lyrical stylings on display and opened up about his life. He compares himself to Oscar-winning actor George Clooney, explains how he was schooled by Jill Scott then smoked a joint with her, describes Jive Records as "shady" and tells the story of a pimp who fathered a prostitute. Delve into the mind — both masterful and mad — of Too $hort.
You have 19 albums. The first you one put out was in 1985. What do you feel is the biggest growth you've experienced since then?Somewhere around the fifth, sixth album, we got this little formula together where we knew how to record Too $hort songs. You need the bassline, a good drum pattern, call in the keyboard, the guitars — it's just a way we mixed it all together. We pretty much always saw ourselves as a spinoff of Parliament-Funkadelic — if you listen to the older albums. After we got the formula down, I remember I said I retired, that was in 1996, so ever since I came back from the retirement thing, it's almost been like, I step up to the plate to make a new album. I just know how to do it. There's a certain level, there's no fear, no second-guessing. I know what to do.
I could've made ['No Trespassing'] up-tempo, I could have made it one-dimensional and geared it toward ass-shaking and being raunchy but if you at least listen more and more to it, I tried to do something that I don't really do a lot, which is touch on different subjects, different parts of relationships. I'm trying to be true to Too $hort and curse and talk about sex but I'm trying to do it other than just saying, "Hey, bitch, suck my d—!"
How did you get 50 Cent to get on the song 'I'm a Stop'?
50 heard a song I did with E-40 called 'Don't Act Like a Bitch.' The hook is "N—- don't act like a bitch,' and people just loving singing that song. 50 did a song in the Bay and he got in touch with E-40 and he said, "I need you and Too $hort to come to my show." We went up to his show in San Francisco and the crowd loved it. We went backstage and 50 comes up and he was like, "You gotta put me on that song." He wasn't asking, he was telling. We're like, "S—, hell yeah." So 40 sent him the song, a week later he sent it back. He changed the hook a little bit. It got love on the East just with 50 adding to it.
In the midst of doing that, he called me to the studio in L.A. one day. He's like, "Listen to these joints." I had known 50 since before he got shot, but I hadn't been around him since he got rich. You think he's like this 50 Cent dude, but he's Curtis. People are coming in and he's real polite, manners and stuff. I do the same thing. You think Too $hort is gonna come around and call you a bitch [laughs]. I'm like, "My name's Todd. I don't really curse a lot." You're like, "Where did $hort go?" It was a good session. I did a song with him. He's like, "Man, you wanna rap on another one?" Did another song with him. So now we did the E-40 song, did two songs for him. I'm like, "I'm gonna need you on my album." The beautiful thing is he didn't even charge me.
<>Last year there was a song called 'Sugar Daddy' that came out and people thought you and E-40 debuted it but it turns out they were imposters. How did that make you feel?Remember it even had Raphael Saadiq on there. I called everybody. Me and 40 couldn't figure it out. This is what 40 said, "Man! What's this song you got with me on it and it ain't even me?" He thought I leaked it. I'm like, "Lemme hear it. That ain't even me!" But it really was Raphael Saadiq [on the song]. So what happened, some dudes — we have no idea who put it out — took an old Tony! Toni! Toné! song, got the TV track version with the hook and no verses and went in the studio and made that s—.
You and E-40 have a collaborative album coming out. What's going on with that project?
It's called 'The History Channel.' We're looking at a summer release. It's 10 years in the making. The reason why it didn't get made originally was Jive Records refused to greenlight it. They refused to let us work together or share a budget. I think Jive was just a shady label that they didn't want artists in the same room like, "Hey, what you making?" Like I never worked with R. Kelly, I never worked with Q-Tip. I never worked with anybody that was on Jive. I never did a song with KRS-One. We never did shows together. At one point, I went to Barry Weiss at Jive and was like, "Dude, you see what Def Jam does? Look at this s—!" You got all these artists that are hot. He had Keith Murray, he had Mystikal, he had UGK, KRS-One, A Tribe Called Quest, Too $hort, I'm missing a few. We did a showcase at a music convention and it was the biggest s— of the weekend. I'm like "Why the f— don't you send us out on the road?" They didn't want any parts of it. People don't even remember, one year Jive was the hottest rap label. They had several platinum and gold artists.
You once did a diss record called 'Rap Like Me,' which called out MC Hammer. What caused that?
Hip-hop has to have the battle, it's part of the culture. Me and MC Hammer, we had a thing going. He was much more commercial than me when we were both hot — 17 or 20 million albums he sold. He would do s— like be in the super mainstream media and like sit on the couch at 'Arsenio' and say, "Yeah, I'm really the only rapper from my area. There's not really a lot of rappers from where I come from." I'm like, "Motherf—er, I've been popular since you was nobody. What the f— you talkin' about?" He would run that s— without dissin' anybody. I watched Hammer become Hammer. It was a total charade, and it worked. This guy was a dancer and he would be in the club with his right-hand man and be dressed alike dancing. They was those dudes. He never even had a song. He came up with this f—in' entourage. He just made himself a star. We liked Hammer. Our crews knew each other. But he was just a funny kind of dude when he got that money. We would take jabs about it on songs. But we laughed about it. We laugh about it now.
I've never read anything about whether or not you have a special lady in your life. Are you married or do you see marriage in your future?
I'm the George Clooney of hip-hop. It's not gonna happen. I'm not eligible. It's just not gonna happen. The only way I'll ever get married is in a business-friendship-relationship. It's gotta be like, "This makes sense." I'd marry for money. Like if you're filthy, f—ing wealthy, not no hand-me-down money where you're waiting to get it. You got to have it. And I'll tell you, "You know I'm only marrying you 'cause you're rich." Outside of that, I'd marry for a partnership if I felt like we could partner up as friends. It'd be like a "Let's grow old together type of thing." I would never marry for feelings and love. In my mind I get married every three months [laughs].
If you had children do you think your lyrics would change?
If I had a daughter something probably would've happened. I have a homeboy who's a pimp. He had a baby by one of his whores. That baby grew up to be a whore. He calls his daughter all kinds of bitches and she just accepts it. He's like, "Bitch, you a h– 'cause you're momma was a h–." That's how he talks to his daughter and it's a loving kind of way.
'The World Is Filled…' is one of my favorite Biggie songs and you were featured on there. Tell us about that time in the studio when you were recording that with him.
The one thing that always sticks out to me about that session is that I got to witness the technique. Every rapper writes down lyrics and raps or he freestyles. But I never seen the technique [that Biggie used before]. We're in the room, the music's playing in the studio, people are walking in and out passing around drinks, there's a lot of weed being smoked, a lot of talking, a lot of noise. Even Big is interacting and s—, but somehow, while all this is going on, he's writing, memorizing a verse in his head. I got my pen and my paper and I'm getting my part together. He's like, "I'm ready. Put me in the booth." I'm not saying anything about all of this. I'm just watching. No pen, no paper, never wrote s—. He goes in there and he starts rapping, gets his little tone together. He just did it in like one take. I'm like, asking, "Did you already have that? Where the f— did that come from?" They're like, "Big don't write s—. He just raps that s—." I don't think Biggie was making it known at that time how he worked. But Jay-Z adopted it from Biggie. I assume, I think he did. I don't know why they started doing that. When Biggie died, Jay was doing a lot of things just to keep that Big spirit alive. He probably always looked up to Big. Biggie and Jay-Z was E-40 and Too $hort. Jay more or less popularized that [no pen or paper technique].
How is your technique?
If I was to do it, I can sit here and remember four lines, six lines, eight lines but then I get down to the end of the verse and I'm like, "Damn, what was I saying at first?" I literally can think of some fly ass s— to me and if I don't f—in' write it down somewhere right now, tomorrow I'll be like, "What's that s— I was trying to say?" Never can bring it back. You coulda played [my whole 'No Trespassing' album] and said, "Sing along with it," and I'd say, "I don't know it." I don't really memorize [my songs]. The only things I memorize is what I have to say on stage. I don't know any of the Too $hort songs by heart.
Who have you done a song with that people may be surprised by the collaboration?
Jill Scott. I go in the studio and she starts trembling. She's like, "Nothing makes me nervous. I am the biggest Too $hort fan." That was one of my favorite sessions too. She told me what to do. She had this song, that she's never gonna release. It's about pimps. But it's not about pimps pimpin' whores. It's like a socially conscious song about politicians and preachers who are in a good position and supposed to be responsible but they're really just pimps. My part was to come on and explain to a listener who don't know what a pimp is, what is a pimp. I go in there and I write the song and I record my verse.
She goes, "Can everyone please leave the room except me and Todd?" So she says, "Let me see your rap," and she starts to talk to me like my mother. "You see right here where you say that? I really don't get it. I know what you're trying to say but I really don't get it." She gives me all these pointers. She leaves me in the room and I take her advice. I say it a little more boldly and I rephrased it the way she wanted. She came back and said, "That's it!" I got the Jill Scott approval. Nobody ever handled me in a session like that ever. Just checked me. We even smoked a tiny little joint. It was a great experience.

There are many challenges facing all public schools in New Jersey. Here at our school, Watchung Hills Regional, we must determine the next level of work to expand opportunities and continue to increase the academic achievement of ALL students. This is no easy task in a high performing school district. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to strike a balance between ensuring that we adhere to the multitude of recently introduced state mandates while continuing to enhance the rigorous and varied program of study we offer at Watchung Hills.
The implementation of the Common Core State Standards in Literacy and Mathematics as well as the announcement of the newly designed PARCC assessments both call for a significant realignment of our curricular program and assessments to a new set of standards. The implementation of the Common Core standards requires transformative work. Additionally, as of September 2013, we implemented an entirely new evaluation system for teachers and administrators that has called for rigorous training and increased responsibility for observations by administrators.
Aligned withthe requirements for the new evaluation system, the Common Core State Standards and the upcoming PARCC assessments, we have begun focusing on the development of common authentic assessments within departments and the use of student performance data to make instructional and curricular decisions.
Our curricular work does not only encompass a 9-12 scope. Articulation with our sending districts through collaboration on curriculum development and the sharing and analysis of student performance data will strengthen our program and expand our capacity to effectively meet student needs.
Our highly collaborative, dedicated staff, exceptionally talented students, and supportive, engaged community are essential components as we work to continually enhance achievement of ALL Watchung Hills students. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the academic leader for the Watchung Hills Regional High School District.

When I look back on the holidays, something stands out. In every baby and toddler picture of my daughter on Christmas morning, she is in Carters PJs. You see, every fall I would go to the Carter's Outlet store and stock up when they had a sale. My old house can be chilly in the winter and these durable pajamas kept her nice and warm, while still looking adorable. I lost most of the digital photos from her baby years, but a few survived, including this one here of her on her first Christmas morning, in her Carter's 🙂
My little girl is now in kindergarten, and I thought she was too big for Carter's Children's clothing, but I was wrong. They do have clothing available in her size, and the selection is quite charming. Here are some selections I have made, to get her through the holidays. Of course, the Christmas morning tradition was first on my list. The cute pattern below is available in both footie and regular PJ styles.
I like my daughter to look nice and wear a dress when visiting over the holidays, but comfort is also key. This embroidered dress with leggings or tights will be perfect!
Of course there is also the holiday photo to be considered. This set would be lovely. Sadly, I will have to skip the headband, since it would probably set my daughter off, due to her sensory issues. I might be able to get her to keep a simple clip in for a little while though.

Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks have been one of 2011's great sports stories. Cuban purchased the Mavericks when they were nothing. When Cuban took over, he completely rearranged the way the franchise did business and has subsequently turned them into one of the most successful franchises in the NBA.
Two years ago, Cuban tried to purchase the Cubs (He also tried to purchase the Texas Rangers but was outbid by Jim Crane). Bud Selig and MLB did not allow the purchases of the Cubs-even though Cuban made the highest initial bid-and instead allowed an out of touch old fart to pay the bills. Consequently, the club is still terrible (no offense) and no one goes to the games (attendance is at an all-time low). There are several reasons why Selig and baseball did not allow the transaction but I am going to be real blunt about this: Those reasons are stupid.
ESPN baseball analyst Jayson Stark recently wrote a column on Selig's opinion of Cuban:
"Bud does not have any interest in an owner who wants to be The Story. … Also, Bud's not interested in owners who are going to overtly challenge him publicly."
So this much is obvious: Cuban has the cash but he doesn't have the votes to own a team (he needs 23 of 20). The reason, in my personal opinion, is that baseball ownership is an 'old boys' club.
You see, baseball has a little problem. On the one side we have the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Phillies (maybe add the Angels and the Cubs to that list). And on the other side, we have pretty much everyone else. The Pittsburgh Pirates' and the Kansas City Royals' of the world cannot afford to 'stay competitive' with these teams and therefore, in my opinion, the quality of the game overall is compromised.
When I said baseball had one little problem, I meant it has two. The other problem is that they need a little make-over. I LOVE baseball and I love that it is a little "slow", that is considered to be a more "intellectual" game and that it is rooted in tradition but it's 2011 and it's time to enter the modern era. Baseball needs to get hip. At the risk of once again sounding agist, this is never going to happen if all the dudes making all the decisions aren't hip. No offense (oh god, I can only imagine the kind of nasty comments I am going to get from this..) but it NEEDS. TO. HAPPEN. I'm not asking for the sport to change; I am asking for it to evolve. Like everything else.
(I could go on and on about this but why don't I save that for another post on another day?)
Where was I?
News broke earlier this week that Cuban was "very interested" in purchasing the Dodgers, "if the deal is right and they're fixable." I'm sorry Bud, but you have to suck it up and let him in. The McCourts have royally messed up a beautiful thing in a relatively big market. Obviously, Frank's gotta go. It's time for a change and it starts with you, Bud, yes YOU letting it happen.
If Cuban were to purchase the Dodgers-or any other "struggling" baseball team-it could only mean good things. Cuban would not be afraid to take risks and he is not afraid to the spend money necessary to make improvements to the club and the roster. He would acquire exciting players and bump up the visibility and overall quality of the franchise. Sure, maybe he can be a little much at times (and I have heard the Steinbrenner comparisons and frankly, I don't buy it) but I don't think anyone in Dallas is complaining about Cuban and although they might be afraid to admit it, I don't think anyone in the NBA is either. His ownership has benefitted the entire league.
So yes, I think someone like Mark Cuban should own a baseball team. Yes, I think he would be good for the Dodgers. I can also see that perhaps he would be even better for a number of other teams and I can see why he might not be exactly right for the Dodgers.
I, for one, wouldnt mind seeing someone like Cuban purchase the Mets. That might sound insane coming from a Phillies fan, but so what? Mark Cuban wouldn't just be good for the Mets, he would be good for baseball and baseball needs it. At a time when the parody in baseball is at an all-time high (and the NFL and NBA are fighting over billions of dollars and pissing off fans left and right) why not improve the game and the business of baseball for the good of the league? That is what Mark Cuban would do.
Let him in guys. Let. him. in.
Do you think that Mark Cuban should make a move to purchase the Dodgers?

|Property type
This is my childhood home, nestled in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. It is filled with memories of family and friends, of sleigh rides down snow covered hills, grapevine swinging, crawdad catching, hiking , and motorcycle riding good times . It is a peaceful, natural environment filled with the sounds of water rolling over the creek rocks, crickets, frogs and birds chirping. Mountains on all sides with unspoiled views of nature. We want to share this peace and serenity with you for a day or a week. Rental is fully furnished and accessible. Pack a bag and leave the hustle and bustle behind and prop your feet up on the porch, drink a tall glass of sweet tea and let your worries fade away.
This is a comfortable country home decorated to honor my parents lives, style, loves and hobbies. My sister was born with cerebral palsy and has physical challenges so this home evolved in many ways to accomodate her needs so we welcome guests with physical challenges and hope they find it as comfortable and accessible as we do. The outdoor space has many quiet nooks but also some family play areas for basketball, badminton, corn hole, and horseshoes. Our property extends behind our home to the top of the mountain , so feel free to enjoy a hike to the most beautiful mountain top vista you can imagine. Careful it is steep terrain and there are wild animals and crawling critters!
Large L shaped living room with Flat screen TV, DVD player with many DVD's available. ROKU device with netflix. Plenty of seating with couch that has 2 recliners built in , a reclining love seat and an over sized recliner plus an additional 3 chairs. Plenty of room to add extra quests with floor space to accommodate an inflatable mattress or two.
Front bath has a roll in shower with handheld shower head and a shower chair is available upon request. All the towels you need are included.
Kitchen includes microwave, gas oven/stove, coffee pot, waffle maker, toaster, bread maker, countertop grill, all the cookware, utensils and dishes you would need. Dishware for everyday as well as some nicer china, wine glasses and linens for a more formal meal.
Dining room seats 8 at a large oak table. There is a large cushioned window seat for any extra visitors or for a restful nap.
The den (sunflower room) has a sofa that converts to a full size bed, a recliner and a propane fireplace.
The Master bedroom has a queen sized bed with tempurpedic top, end tables and a armoire and closet to hold your necessities. An additional TV is held in the armoire but will require the ROKU or DVD player to use.
The second BR is just off the Master and there is no door dividing them as this was my disabled sisters room and my parents wanted quick access from their room. This is perfect for small children or a single adult as it has one twin bed , a chest and dresser as well as a small closet. There is enough room to add a crib/pack n play/or bassinet.
The third bedroom has a queen sleigh bed , chest , dresser, nightstand and large closet. Minimal floor space in this room and the doorway is smaller so this is the only room not handicap accessible.
The second bath has a large whirlpool tub, single vanity, toilet and washer/dryer.
Nice place perfect for what we needed.
We had a wonderful weekend staying there. Everything was great!
A mid October visit here watching the leaves turn was amazing. The property was beautiful and the house provided all our wishes
Serene , peaceful & quiet :)
Comfortable outside & in !
Had a great experience. Enjoyed the solitude. Big enough for me and my family. Hope to stay next year.
There were 13 of us. We all had plenty of room. The house was very clean and well maintained. Perfect in the mountain setting. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit and grill along with sitting on the porch with our morning coffee. We are all talking of coming back next year! We would certainly recommend it to our friends.
Elk hunting capitol of the east. Alice Lloyd College is minutes away with a beautiful campus and storied history.
