The overall objective of this Phase III clinical trial is to obtain information from a population of 500 ICH subjects with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), representative of current clinical practice and national demographics of ICH regarding the benefit (or lack thereof) of IVH clot removal on subject function as measured by modified Rankin Scale (mRS). This application requests funding for five years to initiate a Phase III randomized clinical trial (RCT) testing the benefit of clot removal for intraventricular hemorrhage. The investigators propose to compare extraventricular drainage (EVD) use plus recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA; Alteplase; Genentech, Inc., San Francisco, CA) with EVD+ placebo in the management and treatment of subjects with small intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and large intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH defined as ICH < 30 cc and obstruction of the 3rd or 4th ventricles by intraventricular blood clot).

It seems all you have to rely on, is your gut instincts, which are products of your experiences, and your parents.... parenting. Kinda wary about why he's out of the Marines after one term of enlistment.. or was he discharged before that?
My parents really can't say much they're so much worse than me hahaa. They're 7 years apart and idk he quit I guess.

Miscreants have begun selling a cut-price point and click Facebook rogue application generation tool, designed for script kiddies too clueless to code their own malicious application.
The rogue Facebook app creation tool kit is available is available at just $25, net security firm Websense reports.
The toolkit offers a means to direct surfers towards survey scams, spread malware or act as a tool in furtherance of click-fraud scams, all by following a simple set of instructions. Bogus applications generated via the tool, called Tinie Facebook Viral Application, would offer lures such as the supposed opportunity to check on who has been viewing a Facebook profile.

19 March 2002
314A Illini Union
Paula Kaufman, chair, called the meeting to order at 3:06pm and began the meeting with the Approval of the minutes, as there was enough faculty to make a quorum.
1. Approval of the 19 February 2002 faculty meeting minutes.
The minutes of the last faculty meeting were approved as distributed on March 15 with the correction of replacing Paul Callister's name with Paul Healey's. Lynne Rudasill moved to accept the minutes and Nancy O'Brien seconded the motion. The motion passed.
2. Introductions of New Librarians.
Paula introduced two new members to the library faculty, Setsuko Noguchi, Japanese Librarian and Cindy Ingold, Women and Gender Resources Librarian.
3. University Librarians Report
The Deans met with the Provost and briefly with the Chancellor on March 15 to discuss the budget situation. As previously announced there will be a significant shortfall this year. Academic units have been asked to prepare plans for a 4-4.5% cut and Administrative units have been asked to prepare plans for a 5-5.5% cut. Deans are to submit layoff plans to Personnel by April 15. Only two programs will have no cuts, Graduate Fellowships and the Library. The Chancellor sent the message that forward progress on campus will continue. Note, however, that there will be NO new money for collections, except for perhaps up to $200,000, half of which is non-recurring. Promotion and Tenure money will continue to be provided to units. Units were urged to continue to give money to new promotions as in the past. No tenure decision will be made on the basis of available funds. There will be no raises except for those that have been negotiated under union contract. Each unit will have to find ways to fund these contracted raises. In the Library there is no intention of any layoffs and the Library will not submit a layoff plan to Personnel. The hiring freeze is in affect and there will be no exceptions made by the Provost except in unusual cases.
Dick Griscom asked if the hiring freeze means that if a position becomes vacant the position is lost. Paula informed that vacancies will be treated as they normally are with the Executive Committee looking at each individual case. She expects the budgets will be out in June. The freeze may be reconsidered then or in the fall. Several pots of money on campus, such as the faculty excellence funds, have been used towards the shortfall and are not available. Paula Kaufman speculates that there will be significant layoffs in O & M, consequently there may be delays in maintenance
We should have next years budget in early June. Faculty Excellence money is being given up because of the budget cuts. Paula feels there will be significant layoffs in O&M and everyone will need to be patient when making request for things that are done through those offices.
Bill Maher questioned if faculty are aware that zero dollars for collections means serials cancellations. Paula indicated that the issue of Compendium due out soon will discuss the 7-8% impact on the Library's buying power, and that not just serials, but monographs as well as other resources will be affected. The individual departmental library faculty have a responsibility to communicate this to the departments they serve. Paula asked Karen Schmidt for input. Karen said that if you have anything you can cancel with a June expiration date go ahead and cancel and they can always be reinstated later. Karen Schmidt encouraged librarians to share their 5 and 10% cut lists with faculty now.
4. Committee Report
Executive Committee (Leslie Troutman)
The Committee met twice since last month's faculty meeting, on February 25 and March 11. The February 25 meeting was devoted to Ryoko Toyoma's visit. She discussed staff allocations and the framework in which they make decisions. Some of the material presented was relevant and the Committee continues to discuss ways to use this information.
Beth Sandore resigned as vice-chair, citing potential conflict of interest between her appointment as AUL and the responsibilities of the Vice Chair of the EC. Leslie Troutman was elected as Vice Chair of the Committee.
At the March 11 meeting the Committee had a brief follow up discussion of Toyama's visit. This discussion centered on the issues of faculty vacancies in a time of slim resources, vacancies in light of the Library's strategic plan, and the need to develop contingency plans when vacancies occur. The Committee reviewed and approved a proposal from Karen Schmidt for a Collection Advisory Committee to replace the Collection Development Committee. In addition, they reviewed a memo from Barb Henigman, written in response to the committee's questions about the Cataloging Policy Committee's report. The committee will review the report and Henigman's memo for further discussion at the next meeting. The committee discussed events in Arts and Humanities centered on collection issues. A special committee meeting was scheduled for May 6 to work through additional agenda items.
Research & Publications Committee (Marek Sroka)
The committee funded 11 applications totaling $15,056 for research, which averages approximately $1,368 per application. There was one meeting with untenured faculty organized by Bob Burger to discuss the RPC application process. The committee still has money so they encourage people to apply. They are planning one to two brown bag lectures from people who have received money and that are almost done with their projects so they can talk about it. If you are working on a project and need a copy card send your information to Marek Sroka; they will fund them.
Lynne Rudasill asked will any money left be used for travel grants. Marek stated that the committee will talk to Paula about doing the same thing they did last year, which was fund travel for professional development. This can include anyone going to a conference as well as paper presenters and speakers.
5. Old Business
a. Continuation of Discussion of Library Bylaws revision (Bill Maher)
Two documents were distributed: the white one is a duplicate of the one distributed at the last meeting, including all three motions presented and discussed last time. Motion one regarding the change in definition of faculty and Motion two deleting references to the Deputy University Librarian were approved for transmission to the faculty for vote.
On motion 3, the meeting lost a quorum before a vote could be taken. One amendment was approved. The committee took this amendment and incorporated it into a substitute Motion 3 which is on the yellow handout. The Motion 3 discussed last time has been withdrawn and replaced with this new one.
Article IX, Section 3 – the first sentence stays the same. The 3rd sentence is to be deleted because conflict of interest is addressed in 4f.
Article IX, Section 4f. In the last sentence after "conflict of interest" add "or who were a participant in the decision on which the grievance is based."
Dick Griscom questioned who defines "conflict of interest." Leslie Troutman pointed out that in this example, the participation in the prior decision is a fact.
Maria Porta asked what if someone else thinks a person has a conflict of interest. Bill replied that hopefully that would be handled in a collegial way, but it is not something that would be included in the Bylaws.
Lynne Rudasill raised a question about section h and the notion of "completion." As now stated, the wording implies that all items listed must be done for the grievance to be complete. In keeping with correcting the language, Lynne moved to add "or" in between each of the statements in Article IX, Section 4h. Leslie Troutman seconded the motion. During discussion, it was noted that the change would still not correct the problem. Lynne and Leslie agreed to remove their motion. Lynne then moved to insert "when any one of the following conditions is met" at then end of line h. Leslie Troutman seconded it and the motion was unanimously approved. Then Gail Hueting moved to insert "if" before "at" in front of 4h2, which was seconded by Barbara Henigman. Through discussion is noted that the previous motion created a complete sentence and the numbers under h would need to be changed to sentences as well. Dick Griscom and Barbara Henigman agreed to withdraw their motion. Then Dick Griscom moved to charge the responsibility for making the sentence structure in 1-6 in Article IX, Section 4h consistent before submitting the entire motion to the faculty to the Bylaws committee. Leslie Troutman seconded the motion. All were in favor.
Aaron Trehub questioned Article IX, Section 4b. What does this section mean? Should " decision" be supplemented with "action?" Gene Rinkel stated that the action is specified by the grievant. Leslie Troutman said that this section is to keep people from grieving salary and tenure decisions much after the fact. Bill Maher gave an example of an "adverse teaching assignment" as an example of a trigger event. Gene Rinkel said that the 30 days could be amended if that is a problem. Leslie Troutman stated that perhaps it should say certain event or chain of events. Gene Rinkel stated that one of those events would be the most recent event so chain of events is not needed. Aaron Trehub moved that the words "or event" be inserted after "decision." It was seconded by Mary Laskowski. Bart Clark noted that any date set by the University for action takes precedent over the Library Bylaws. Maria Porta noted a typographical error which Bill Maher will correct. All were in favor of accepting this motion.
The motion was made to have approval of Motion 3 put to a faculty vote. The motion carried.
b. Entertain motion to have Bylaws vote by mail rather than at the next faculty
meeting in April.
The motion was made by Leslie Troutman, seconded by Nancy O'Brien to have the vote done by mail. All were in favor
Paula Kaufman thanked Paul Healey, Frances Harris, Gene Rinkel, and Bill Maher for their work on this.
Since there was no new business and no announcements, the meeting adjourned at 3:55pm.

Re: fit a BinomialDistribution to exptl data?
In R one can use the package gamlss.
It compares the data to a number of statistical distributions and gives a measure of a possible fit. See:
Until now I have the impression that Mathematica V6.0 is not able to do this. So, besides Mathematica I use R.

Local artist goes blind for two years, never stopped painting
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. - On most days, Lon Michels paints for 10 hours. He loves color.
"With a person I start with their eyes, but with landscape (I start with) a feature that sticks out, and it all flows from that point," Michels said.
One day in 15 minutes, all color went away, though.
"I was living in Key West, Florida at the time. I thought perhaps there was a brownout or a cloud was going over the house. It just kept getting slowly dimmer and dimmer until it went completely black," Michels said.
Michels got an infection in his optic nerve.
"They told me I could never see again. It was complete blackness," Michels said.
If you think a blind painter can't continue his art, you haven't met Lon Michels. One day, his friends told him to start painting again.
"My premise was when you're a kid and you have a sparkler, and you had to make a flower shape with your eyes shut, you could connect that in your head," Michels said.
He painted for two years in total darkness. With treatment and surgeries, he regained his sight.
"I cried like a baby. I really had come to terms with the fact that I wasn't going to see any longer. I just couldn't believe it," Michels said.
Now, ten years later, he intentionally left the part of the painting he was working on when he went blind unfinished.
"Things can be taken away from us so quick whether its health or a loved one. I always wanted to be able to remember where I came from, what I have to be grateful for," Michels said.
Red isn't just red anymore, and blue not just blue.
"Everyday when I wake up, I might not have a good day, but I make a decision that I'm going to have a good day. No one knows how long you have, or what could be taken from you. Life is a gift. Vision is certainly a gift," Michels said.

Antibiotics, antimicrobials and antifungals are seeping into the waterways of North America, Europe and East Asia, according to an investigation published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP). Authored by Université de Montréal and Environment Canada researchers, the review found that consumption of anti-infectives for human and agriculture use contributes to their release into the environment and even into drinking water.

Naomi Watts and Live Schreiber have ended their 11-year romance.
The couple released a joint statement on Monday (September 26) confirming the sad news, which comes just days after another apparently solid Hollywood couple - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - split.
Talk about a star-studded scene, the August 2016 issue of W magazine features some of the biggest names in Tinseltown all stripped down.
The Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles was replete with celebrities as the 2015 Emmy Awards got underway on Sunday night (September 20).
Her acting career has matured quite nicely and now Chloe Moretz is trying her hand at the trendy post-apocalyptic action-adventure genre.
Showing some love to their SoCal fans, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber stopped by the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills this evening (January 11).
Taking advantage of their surroundings, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber biked around the Big Apple on Wednesday afternoon (October 15).
The talented duo looked filled with bliss as they shared a two-seater bicycle and ran a few errands before picking their darling brood up from school.
Making the most of their Monday night (October 6), the cast of "St. Vincent" turned up at the big New York City premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre.
Naomi Watts enjoyed the support of her doting beau Liev Schreiber as she hobnobbed with her legendary costar Bill Murray and greeted fans and press.
Stepping out to support their pals, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian attended the premiere of Showtime's "Ray Donovan" on Wednesday night (July 9).
The adorable couple showed off plenty of PDA as they prepared to get a sneak peek of the hit show's second season.

Publisher's Description▼▲
On a rainy spring day in Seattle, young software tycoon Micah Taylor receives a cryptic, twenty-five-year-old letter from a great uncle he never knew. It claims a home awaits him on the Oregon coast that will turn his world inside out. Suspecting a prank, Micah arrives at Cannon Beach to discover a stunning brand new nine-thousand square foot house. And after meeting Sarah Sabin at a nearby ice cream shop, he has two reasons to visit the beach every weekend.
When bizarre things start happening in the rooms of the home, Micah suspects they have some connection to his enigmatic new friend, Rick, the town mechanic. But Rick will only say the house is spiritual. This unnerves Micah because his faith slipped away like the tide years ago, and he wants to keep it that way. But as he slowly discovers, the home isn't just spiritual, it's a physical manifestation of his soul, which God uses to heal Micah's darkest wounds and lead him into an astonishing new destiny.
"An extraordinary read. Part The Screwtape Letters, part The Shack."
--Robert Liparulo, best-selling author of Comes a Horseman
"A profound spiritual tale spun with imaginative flair. I'm looking forward to more from Jim Rubart."
--James Scott Bell, best-selling author of Try Fear
"Unforgettable. The kind of book that is talked about long after the last page has been turned. The universe of readers is richer because of this debut novel."
--Alton Gansky, author of Enoch and Certain Jeopardy
"Two words about Rooms: blown away. It's been a long time since I read anything this unique and truly creative, and even longer since a book held me in such rapt attention during the moments I was reading it--and long after."
--Deborah Raney, author of the Clayburn novels
"A wonderful book . . . Since I began reading it, I've been captivated. It isn't often that a book pulls me so deeply into the fictive dream that I dream about it at night."
--Terri Blackstock, author of Predator and Intervention
Winner, Best Inspirational Novel of 2010
--RT BOOK REVIEWS Reviewers' Choice Awards
Author Bio▼▲
James L. Rubart is a professional marketer whose Jr2 Marketing company clientele has included ABC, AT&T/Cingular, and Clear Channel Radio. He is also a professional speaker, writes recurring columns for Christian Fiction Online Magazine and Christian Women Online, and is on the board of the Northwest Christian Writers Association. Jim and his wife and their two teenage sons live just outside Seattle, Washington.
By discussing issues such as spiritual warfare, human nature, and redemption, James Rubart gets into some heavy theological territory, but he explores all of these topics through the story instead of preaching at his readers. While at times the method for the spiritual revelations feels a bit repetitive usually involving a conversation with Rick or a letter from Uncle Archie the use of the mansion as a reflection of Micahs spiritual condition often offers a fresh perspective on old truths. Most of all, the novel vividly illustrates the truth of Mark 8:35-37, where Jesus warned his listeners that they must choose what they devote their lives to. By moving this classic dilemma from the spiritual to the physical, literal world, Rooms shows that making the choice is not as easy or clear as Christians might like.
Besides the portrayal of biblical themes in an unusual way, Rooms has excellent descriptions of its two settings. Both of Micahs worlds feel real, from the details of his interactions with coworkers in the corporate world to the imagery describing the coast of Cannon Beach. Like the settings, exchanges between characters are interesting and purposeful, although it is difficult at times to distinguish between the voices of a few of the characters, especially Micah and his business partner Julie.
The plot, driven largely by the concept of a spiritual house and what effect that could have on one mans life, seems to slow a bit once the novelty of the idea wore off after the first dozen chapters. While interesting because of the spiritual ideas it presented, much of the middle of the book fell into a pattern of a strange happening in Seattle, a conversation with Rick or Sarah, and the discovery of a new room, without much building of intensity. However, when Micah is forced to choose between worlds and risks losing both, the pacing picks up incredibly, sustaining a feeling of drama and anticipation that lasts through the climax and resolution.

debhgrtyPlymouth MAAge: Over 65Gender: Female5 Stars Out Of 5Rooms--Ever-Changing, Ever-Challenging!February 21, 2016debhgrtyPlymouth MAAge: Over 65Gender: FemaleQuality: 0Value: 0Meets Expectations: 0Debs Dozen: His house. Designed for him. Unexpected and disturbing. Rooms changing overnightwhy?
Rooms is a strange and wonderful bookdisturbing and intriguing at the same time. Micah Taylor has been given a house back in Cannon Beach, a place that holds memories he still has nightmares about. His estranged Uncle Archie had the house built especially for Micahwhy he has no idea. Still, Micah is curious enough to go investigate despite his fathers advice to the contrary.
Driving from Seattle to the beach, Micah doubts his decision and dawdles along the way until he slowly drives up a long driveway and sees the house. The house is spectacularright on the beach. The architecture is superb and when Micah enters the house, he feels at home. As he walks from place to place within his house, he feels more and more at easethe letter from Archie was right; the house could have been designed with Micah in mind.
While exploring the town to see what has changed, Micah meets Rick, an auto mechanic with whom he has instant camaraderie. He feels Rick could become a great friend. Stopping into the towns ice cream parlor, he meets Sarah, but his instant feelings are not those of camaraderie, but that she could be the one.
At home again, Micah continues to explore and wait, that room wasnt there before! How could he have missed a room? What will he find? Are there more yet undiscovered rooms? What keeps him here and keeps him coming back to Cannon Beach from his company in Seattle? Micah will find he has decisions to make which will he choose? The house that fits him like a glove, or the hustle-bustle and fame of his software company in Seattle.
I loved Rooms. I loved the writing. I loved the descriptions. I fell in love with the characters. In many ways, I felt I was reliving my life and some of the decisions I have made along the way. James Rubart has the ability to make the reader a part of the storysilent observers, sometimes encouraging, sometimes saying, Dont open that door! You will enjoy the journey Micah makes. I was late to discover James Rubart but am so happy I did. You will love and be challenged by his books. Both my husband and I rate Rooms: A Novel Five Stars!
James Rubart is the author of seven novels, which have won the Christy, the INSPY, and the Romantic Times Book Reviews awards. He is also a professional speaker and consultant helping others perfect the business of speaking and writing and publishing. He and his wife live just outside Seattle, Washington.

Author: James L. Rubart
Located in: Woodinville, WA
Submitted: August 02, 2010
Tell us a little about yourself. I'm a follower of Jesus, husband, dad, author and marketing professional--in that order.
What was your motivation behind this project? It's been my deepest dream to be an author since I was in 7th grade. I've been writing fiction all my life but I was too scared to jump off the cliff (and show anyone my work) till 2003.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Freedom. Jesus came to heal the broken hearted and set the captives free. We all have broken hearts. We're all captive, but through Him we can find healing and freedom.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? I discovered the story in ROOMS was my story. As I wrote it I found myself in tears, and at other times full of joy as I walked through deep issues in my own heart.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Everything. The Beatles once said they stole ideas from everyone. Me too. C.S. Lewis, movies, music, friends ... I "borrowed" idea from a hundred different sources to write ROOMS.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: We're all scared to step into our deepest dreams and desires. We all long to live our divine design God created in us. Don't let the fear stop you. As Annie Dillard says, "You have to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down." Jump.

Currently, I have these weapons..
Sig 226 Equinox .40 S&W (safe queen)
H&K P2000sk .40 S&W (carry gun now)
Remington 870 SpecOps 12g (Home defense gun)
New England Firearms .410 (first gun)
These are the guns I am interested in. I am 24 years old and just bought a new house in September, but I want one or two more toys :redface:
1. Saiga 12- great AK based 12g shotgun. Pricing is still pretty cheap, around $500 before shipping. Available in 20 round drums and 10 round magazines. Ultimate SHTF gun IMO. May be banned by Obama?
2. Ruger LCP- I love my H&K, but it is just a bit to big to carry how I am comfortable. I am not 100% comfortable with IWB and would prefer something that I can pocket carry in hot weather. This is also one my fiancecould shoot easier and would make her feel safer since I would carry it 24/7. I currently only carry my P2000sk about once a week.
3. Sig P220 in .22- Found a site thatis running a great special on these. Only $399 brand new. This would be nice since where I work is opening a gun range on campus. Sounds like a good fun cheap way to spend my lunch break and .22 is the right price. Also for $399 Sig will send you a complete .45 upper so you have two Sig's for $800:image035:
4. Sig P238- Sig's new pocket carry gun? Isn't out yet. Reliability and trigger should be awesome as most Sig's are. I am a big time Sig fan and follower. Cons are SAO. Larger then LCP and more expensive.
5. Buy a new bedroom set and dinner table which could be replaced, but our current is decent.

This fifth edition of American National Security is a timely update of a classic classroom text, providing contemporary perspectives on limited war, economic challenges to national security, and research and development. It reviews the changing security environment in key regions of the world: Russia, East Asia, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Europe. And it identifies the issues that the United States must face in the next century: peace operations, conflict and arms control, and the widening array of missions undertaken by U.S. armed forces.
"We have chosen to emphasize 'power,' broadly defined, as the central dimension of international and national security. This is not to deny that various trends and forces are increasingly pressing states toward more cooperative, less confrontational behavior; rather it is to focus on the fact that on important issues many states?including all the great powers?apply a power calculus in dealing with other international actors."?from the fifth edition of American National Security

I had a genius idea a few weeks ago that I wanted to take Bug to swimming lessons. I know Mol was a fish growing up and she started with baby swim lessons so I figured her babe should have that too.
After calling around a bit I found a place in Apple Valley that happens to have "dolphin pups" classes on Wednesdays at 11am so – yesterday – I signed us up.
At 10am I'm looking at the clock trying to time my arrival just so. I had no idea which bathing suit to wear, certainly the Mexican-beach-maximum-tan one wouldn't do nor would the sassy one with the beads so I threw on the 2-piece Speedo that I haven't worn in, oh, 15 years and yes it was a little saggy here and there but I figured that should be just about right.
10:30 Bug's waiting on me in the car seat while I get all our stuff together and she's rubbing her eyes to let me know that it's nap time. Not a good sign of things to come. Off we go to Wise Swim School. We conspicuously pull into a parking lot full of minivans and SUVs in my 2-door and I do my usual laborious removal of baby/seat while young mom next to me coolly, casually, effortlessly gets Henry (I now know his name) our of their 2012 minivan extraordinaire.
Enter lobby and I am required to buy a plastic diaper cover upper, we go with the 12 month size (even though she's 6 months old) and into the "family changing room" we go. The plastic pull overs are a bit snug but we're running out of time so we'll keep them. Getting her suit on was another ordeal and I'm not going to lie – I was nervous and my hands were shaking a little bit but after 3 attempts we finally managed to get the shoulder strap unwrapped from around her leg and properly placed about her shoulder.
Into the pool area we go. What am I doing here? She's curious, I'm curious, we're taking it all in and then it's time to get into the pool. It's super warm, we're both happy about this. It's me and Bug, mom and Henry and mom and Victoria. Henry and Victoria are both at an age where kids walk – no idea – but they're bigger and they're pretty excited and Bug is not excited. She's tired – she tried telling me this 30 minutes ago. So she cried and cried and her nose ran and her tears flowed and she cried for 15 of the 30 minutes of our first lesson.
I don't know kid songs. I forgot the words to ring around the rosey and all I can think of is that it's some death song but I'm smiling and singing it anyway hoping I'd get something that resembled a giggle out of her. And soon the water and my arm cradle soothed her and she tolerated it, barely. And we stuck out the entire 30 minutes, singing song after who knows what song, cheering on Henry and Victoria as we played Red Rover and they scrambled across the "lilly pad" to their moms.
30 minutes later and out of the pool we go only to discover my nearly disintegrated speedo is hanging near down to my knees and it appeared that perhaps I too should have purchased a plastic diaper cover up thing. Geez. Back into the change room and I really wanted a picture of her but there's NO WAY that was going to happen. My god. Let me just get this wet stuff off of her before she starts wailing. I honestly considered putting my dry clothes on right on top of my wet bathing suit and just getting the *!$# out of there but I found the "girls only" area and quickly changed and I had to pee, like from the minute I walked in the door, but how was I supposed to do that?? I can't just leave her sitting there in her seat by herself. How do moms pee?? Forget it, let's just get home.
She's a trooper that little Bug. She was asleep in 30 seconds once she got clicked back into the back seat. And I can totally see that she's got a fish deep down inside of her that's just dying to get out, but certainly we'll be making some progress as we're now committed to this for the next…8… .WEEKS.

The human mind is a complex and potent tool. Over the years, Neuroscience has proven that "will-power" actually has very little to do with controlling the subconscious. It has also been proven that to gain long-term control of yourself, your emotions and poor living habits, the subconscious must be involved. Subliminal messages are used to do just that to make you slim and fit. Subliminal messages tap into your subconscious to help improve yourself, in ways you never thought possible. Subliminal messages can change the way you act, think, believe and what you are capable of.
★How do subliminal messages work?★
Subliminal messages are often referred to as subliminal stimuli and are sensory related stimuli below a person's level of conscious perception. The messages are submitted to you at high frequencies and keys that help boost the meditation effect and guide into a deep state of mental, emotional and physical relaxation that allows your subconscious to unblock and receive positive affirmations to improve the way of life. Powerful subliminal suggestions are rooted under the peaceful sounds of nature to maximize the efficacy of the messages.
Subliminal messages enable subconscious to influence and transform the origin of consciousness, allowing special messages to fortify willpower and form new consciousness to give more understanding and control of your impulses and causes of your actions.
★Subliminal Messages improves your life by changing the below★
Subliminal messages have the ability to change your thought process, hence change your behavior to set you free from negatives on your life.

Man shot by deputy U.S. marshal had long criminal history
By Steven Kreytak | Friday, February 13, 2009, 05:41 PM
The fugitive shot Thursday night by a deputy U.S. marshal in Northwest Austin has a criminal history dating back to the 1980s and had been wanted on a parole violation for drugs and car theft charges, local and federal law enforcment officials said at press conference Thursday.
Its very clear Mr. Douglas Morse is a very dangerous man, said Assistant Austin Police Chief David Carter.
Carter and Austin Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Hector Gomez said the investigation continues but indications are that the deputy marshal, who they would not identify, acted appropriately in shooting Douglas Morse, 41, while trying to arrest him at a Northwest Austin apartment complex.
Morse, who most recently lived in Ausitn, was under guard at University Medical Center at Brackenridge Thursday, Carter said. He faces a bevy of charges, including evading arrest, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and aggravated assault with a motor vehicle.
Carter said that initially Travis County prosecutors were assisting in the case but then learned that the incident at the Balcones Club Apartments at 9218 Balcones Club Drive was in Williamson County by about 100 feet. The Williamson County District Attorneys office will investigate the case, including the shooting, and present evidence to a grand jury if appropriate, he said.
Morse had escaped a sheriffs deputy Wednesday night in Live Oak County, about 90 miles southeast of San Antonio, after the deputy pulled him over in a stolen vehicle, officials said.
The U.S. marshals-led Lone Star Fugitive Task Force learned he would be heading to the apartment in Northwest Austin and arrived at about the same time, Carter said.
When Austin police and U.S. marshals deputies surrounded his vehicle with their vehicles at the complex, Morse began to try to escape, according to a police affidavit.
At one point he sped into a car holding a U.S. marshals deputy and an Austin police officer, inflicting minor injuries on the pair, the affidavit said.
Morse fled his vehicle on foot and then was shot in the forearm and leg after officials said he appeared to be reaching for his waist area. He did not have a gun on him, Carter said.
His actions were clearly a threat to the officers, the public, Carter said, its obvious.

The Guinness Premiership club have provided the local regiment with DVDs of matches, rugby equipment and even sent an open invite to troops to attend games when they return.
And the squad and coaching team went a step further during the pre-season by giving a real visual seal of approval and all taking part in a facial hair competition to raise money for 'The Soldiers Fund'.
The players judged their efforts on Wednesday morning before many took to the barber's chair and had a shave with support from new official main club sponsor FragranceMad.com, who not only sponsored the fun event but also provided players with post shave aftershave so they smelt sweet!
The King of Shaves Battle Bus also pulled in at Sixways Stadium for a special visit on the day to help players and coaches, ready to look the part with the club's official club photograph for the 2009/10 taking place in the afternoon.
Local barbers also gave their time to make sure the Warriors looked a cut above the rest for the big kick off with Jon Bourne, from Jon Bourne's Barber Town, giving some players a cut throat shave.
Remember, it is not too late to donate and pledge your support for The Soldiers Fund, used to support the welfare of the soldiers that unfortunately have been injured during the latest tour of Afghanistan and also help soldiers celebrate with freedom parades on their return.
Fans who want to pledge money to The Soldiers Fund can do so by sending in cheques to The Soldiers Fund, c/o Karen Andrews, Worcester Warriors, Sixways Stadium, Warriors Way, Worcester, WR3 8ZE. We will then we will pass on all payments to the local regiment. Cheques should be made payable to 'CENTRAL BANK 2 MERCIAN' and marked 'For Soldiers Fund' on the reverse.
* Keep an eye out on Sky Sports and BBC Midlands Today in the coming weeks for a close shave with Warriors!

lapamful: You said it all except in name, this car is awful. I actually had the reverse situation you describe while driving this car recently for a couple of weeks on car hire.
I drove right hand drive and instead of having to reach over to put it into 5th gear, I was constantly reaching over for city driving. Putting it into 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear. Then there are the uncomfortable seats, unstable ride at motorway speeds, the clutch pedal designed by Arnold Schwarzenegger (or maybe you need legs as powerful as Arnies in order to press the clutch) etc.etc.
The only thing that I liked which actually impressed the hell out of me was the traction control. In fact I think I'd even say you were a little harsh in this respect towards the 2008 amazing off-roading abilities (amazing for 2WD that is).
Overall in my humble opinion I'd recommend people go for the SX4 or Nissan Quashqai, Skoda Yeti or anything else but the 2008.
Fatii Eljaouhari: Great review as always, but I have a question, I'm about 5'2 will that be OK with the tiny steering wheel and the view of the speed dial ??

1,2l e-THP 110hp/130hp
1,6l BlueHDi 75hp/95hp/120hp
There will be new gearbox, I think that the 1,2l e-THP is going to have the new 6-speed auto, and maybe the BlueHDi 120 as well.
The BlueHDi 95 should stick with the 6-speed elctronic and the 1,2l e-VTi with the 5-speed electronic (wich are already available on the current range).
Guilherme Matos: peugeot has released a 6 speed auto for the 1.6Hdi 92bhp

difflocktwo: That engine off coasting is beautiful. Does it disengage the clutch? Or does the driver put the car in neutral to activate engine off coasting?
Would be nice to have it higher speeds though. At least make it user selectable.

text: I want to share a recent experience I had that has changed my outlook on my own self defense system, which includes choice of carry. In December I accompanied a mission team made up of entirely of 4 woman and 3 teenage girls to South Africa. That number included my wife and teenage daughter. We were going to provide a Christmas for the orphan children in the city of Delmas. As most of you may know, SA has one of the highest crime rates in the world, and my wife is originally from there, she is a decendent of the original dutch settlers, commonally referred to as BOARS. Since I had some insight as to what to expect, naturally my concern was self protection for myself and the team. Being an LE and carrying daily for duty and self defense, I always carried nothing but a 40 or 10mm thinking that met my minimum requirements. However now, I was faced with the realization that I was about to go into hostile territory and could not take a firearm. For months I tried to think of a way to get a firearm over there, but the risk was too great, I had to improvise, adapt and overcome. I decided to take 3 cans of pepper spray, a medium expandable baton and a variety of fighting knives, which included my old USMC kbar, Cold steel neck knife, Cold steel dagger w/inside the pants sheath, and a CKRT fighting folder. At all times I carried the pepper spray and folding fighter, upgrading as I felt necessary. At no time did you ever feel safe, and everywhere we stayed they had tall walls topped with razor and electric wire. At one time in the city of Durbin we were followed by a group of street thugs, of which one was carrying a large piece of wood. I sent the woman and kids ahead with instructions to get to the hotel no matter what, while I turned and faced them. I pulled the baton out of my cargo pocket and snapped it open for them to see, while I had my left hand on the pepper spray in my pocket. No force was needed thank God, as they walked to the other side of the street when seeing I had made them and was ready to fight. I felt completely naked without my firearm, and at that time I remember thinking how my little j frame 38 would have felt like the Hammer of Thor. I had a few more close calls, but was able to recognize the situation and avoid it. I remember how I felt after arriving back home. Safe. Secure. I have traveled abroad many times during my tours with the Marines, but never at it alone and now I have a new found sense of appreciation for our country. But now my 10mm, 40, and 45 stays in the safe. My main gun when not on duty is my j frame. In SA, the people live in fear, you can SMELL fear, and you can sense it everywhere. People there are at the mercy criminals. I just wanted to share this experience with my new family here. I think it has changed me for the good. I think for a long time I was almost paranoid, and was living my life around what-ifs instead of living.It has helped me become more realistic with self protection and make it fit me instead of me conforming to fit it. I don't have an agenda with this post, just wanted to share my experience and hope maybe someone can get something out of it. Look forward to your thoughts:bier:

Article, 2009 Season - Ohlone College Renegades Men's Soccer
Daniel Galloway is Tri-City Voice Sports Male Athlete of the Month for October 2009
Thursday, October 1, 2009—Reprinted from Tri-City Voice Sports.
Ohlone men's soccer sophomore stud Daniel Galloway gets the nod for this month's Tri-City Voice Sports Male Athlete of the Month. In his second year out of Irvington, the goalie-turned-forward has come on strong, scoring eight goals, plus one assist since the position change. He wasn't too shabby in the nets either, tallying 39 saves in four games.
Here's what Ohlone men's Head Coach Jan Nordmo had to say about Galloway:
"Daniel has proven himself to be a very versatile player. We trained over the spring and summer with him and threw him in goal to cover for our keeper that was away. Galloway's natural instinct in goal was immediately apparent. With training from our goal keeper trainers, Butch McGrew and Nate Failing, we suddenly realized Galloway could actually do well in the position.
"As our last year's keeper Iman Aghel was away during our initial summer trainings, Galloway got the call and performed exceptionally in our first four matches. When Aghel was ready, Galloway stepped on the field and immediately made an impact in a position he was familiar with from last year. Being a keeper perhaps helped him realize what a forward needs to do to be successful.
"Front and back, Galloway has proven himself a coaches' choice. He is a captain for the team and his leadership ability is excellent. He is well liked, respected and admired by his teammates. Galloway is a model student athlete. The entire coaching staff is very proud of his performances so far this season and expect even more of him now as a player. It is a lot to live up to, but he is not afraid of success, and failure is not an option."
Ohlone already has twice as many wins - six - than they had all of last year - three - in just a month of play. Undoubtedly Galloway has helped. Galloway took some time to answer these questions TCV had to ask:
TCV: Why did you choose Ohlone coming out of Irvington?
DG: I chose Ohlone coming out of Irvington for two major reasons. First, and probably most obvious, is that it was a cheaper way to get my education because it is a community college and is very close to my house. However, this left me with choices between De Anza and Ohlone. I presented these choices to my coach at Irvington, David Cordova, who is also on the women's coaching staff at Ohlone. David laid out my choices for me, "De Anza is a program that is winning already, go there if you want to look for a winning season. Ohlone's program is building still, go to Ohlone if you want to work with a developing program." I chose to work with a program where I felt I would learn the most from the coaching staff, so I chose a developing program where everything from the basics onward was going to be taught.
TCV: Is soccer your best sport? If not, what is?
DG: Soccer is my best and only sport right now. When I was younger I also swam competitively and played baseball. Eventually, sports seasons began to overlap and I was forced to make choices. When baseball and swimming overlapped I chose baseball, establishing myself as a land athlete. Then, when I was 12 years old, I began playing competitive soccer which made the season year-round and I chose soccer over baseball.
TCV: What other sports do you like to play?
DG: Most common for me to play now, outside of soccer, is golf which I picked up over that 2009 summer because my oldest sister plays. I also play on a co-ed softball team with some friends from high school. Golf and softball are fun ways that I keep in touch with and catch up with friends.
TCV: Do you envision playing soccer beyond Ohlone?
DG: I envision playing beyond Ohlone. I'd like to transfer to a 4-year CSU or UC in Fall of 2010. I am still weighing my options as to where to go to school and play soccer. My process generally involves choosing a school based on academics, then presenting that choice to Coach Nordmo to hear about the soccer program they offer.
TCV: What are your strengths of the game?
DG: My strengths are my height, because I am able to get up over defenders to get my head on the ball to either flick on to teammates or to head the ball into the goal. But there is little pride in simply being tall. My strength that I am proud of is my ability to read the game and know where to make the runs. I have been coached well and I can implement that coaching in the games. Also helpful in reading the game is my teammate George Mayer II. George is consistent in his crosses and flicks which allows me to predict accurately where to make my runs.
TCV: If you aren't on the soccer field, what are you doing?
DG: If I'm not on the soccer field playing, I am usually on the soccer field refereeing. 2009-2010 is my sixth soccer season as a referee. I obtained a Grade 7 license in 2008 and I am looking to obtain a Grade 6 state referee license by 2011. I referee in amateur leagues PSL and SFSFL on Sundays and I referee youth games on Saturdays and occasionally throughout the week. Aside from refereeing my life is spending down time with my friends. I often go to a friend's house or friends come to my house and we hang around playing Mario Party on Wii or just hanging out and talking.
TCV: What's your major at Ohlone?
DG: My major at Ohlone is communications. When I began my first semester I was declared a business major. However, after I took a couple economics classes I decided that business wasn't really the right thing for me. My second semester at Ohlone I took a required public speaking class and decided that that was what I wanted to do. My academic goal is to achieve a Master's degree in communications and use it to teach community college students.
TCV: What's your favorite subject?
DG: With my major as communications, my favorite subject is speech. I am taking as many of the offered speech classes as I can before I leave Ohlone. I enjoy the subject because it can be used constantly every day of your life. Simply, it has real world applications. A class I am currently taking, interpersonal communications, is very helpful to me on the soccer field as a team captain. The class focuses on small nuances of conversations and how they affect people. I use these nuances to help encourage teammates to keep working despite anything that may go wrong. Most often on the soccer field, you'll here me say something like, "Hey, I know you can get that ball. I've seen you do it. Now prove to coach you can do it." This is a self-fulfilling prophecy at work. When you or others believe something will happen, it is more likely to happen.
TCV: Favorite food?
DG: My absolute favorite food is difficult to choose. There are many meals I love to eat. A thick crust, all meat pizza though is always something I can look forward to.
TCV: Favorite music?
DG: My music collection is incredibly diverse. Each day I listen to everything from country, to hip-hop, to heavy metal. When it comes to getting me pumped up though, the choice is unequivocally rock music.
TCV: Favorite movie?
DG: Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The absurd comedy will never cease to amuse me.
TCV: Favorite soccer team? Player?
DG: This is where you will find that I differ from most of my teammates. I generally don't follow professional soccer. My interest in the game lies in my team and what our coach can teach us. I enjoy watching professional games when I happen to cross them on the TV, but I couldn't tell you honestly that I have a favorite team or a favorite player.
TCV: Heroes/Role models?
DG: My parents are my biggest role models for life because it is they who helped most to raise me as who I am today. When it comes to soccer, the people I look up to most are my coaches from the past two seasons. Don Williams and Jan Nordmo have been a tremendous help to my development as a player and I would like to someday pass on what they have taught me.
TCV: After your playing career is over, what are your plans in life?
DG: After my playing career I want to earn my master's degree in communication and teach community college speech classes. When I eventually marry I want to start a family either here in Fremont or somewhere close so that I can stay close to the family that I have here already.
TCV: And last, but not least, how many juggles can you do with a soccer ball?
DG: I used to be heavily ashamed to answer this question. Before last season, the most juggles I had ever completed was 27. However, juggling became something to do to pass time before practice starts and now my best has risen to 98. I continue to work to break 100 and go beyond.

Clothing Symbolism
The purpose of the study was to apply seven propositions of symbolic interactionism by Manis and Meltzer (1978, p. 78) and four assumptions of Kaiser's (1997, 59-61) contextual framework to appearance management in everyday interaction. We are born naked but are buried or cremated with clothes on. Therefore, it is important to examine the impact of clothes and appearance in everyday interaction within the pre-mentioned frameworks. The application consisted of looking at clothing and appearance related symbols used in everyday life at both micro and macro levels. Micro-level focussed on the use of symbols at the individual level, and Macro-level represented both societal and cultural level symbols. The intent was not to take assumptions and propositions for granted to understand the conceptualization because common sense is not very common. Findings revealed that people use appearance and clothing related symbols in their lives to develop and sustain their selves as members of the society that they are part of. Use of appearance and clothing related symbols in everyday interactions can be both effective and ineffective depending on the sharedness of the meanings of the artifacts and mentifacts. Several examples of appearance and clothing related symbols used by the interacting human beings at the individual, societal, and cultural levels were found. The reported work has implications for understanding symbolic interactionism theories and contextual framework better than taking the assumptions for granted. The presentation will discuss the implications and examples in greater detail and specificity than presented in this abstract.

Well I tried some wax, that worked for a few days, I have a bar of wax and I rubed it in the leather. But I noticed the gun had wax on it each time I pulled it out, and lastngiht the holster was a creak o matic, thankfully I was at home, because I was creaking like our old hardwood floor and the wife made a comment asking why I always carry that thing around..:mad:
I may stop by a fabric shop and see if they have some sort of durable fabric that I can put on the holster. Is crossbreed the only IWB like this that squeaks? What are they doing differently, or is it the Horsehide that is the issue?
