"Wishing all of my friends a safe, happy and healthy holiday season"
Princess is not feeling well today, and we are all purring and praying for her. She was vomiting all morning and mommy is caring for her. We will keep everyone posted on her progress. Right now she is starting to drink and is up and walking around a bit again. We will post more tomorrow.
It's so hard to believe that my dear sister, Miss Dback, has gone to the Bridge. Just one week ago we were playing together, not suspecting that anything was wrong. At least she never let on that anything was. Monday night she was feeling ill, Tuesday morning mommy rushed her to the hospital and the rest of the week has been a blur for all of us. She was laid to rest Saturday morning, in a nice shady spot next to her beloved Buster.
I will never forget Miss Dback. She had such a sweet disposition and loved to cuddle. She loved to sit on mommy's chair in the Master Bath and I alwasy knew that if I wanted to meow I could find her there...and she always listened to what I had to meow.
In the end, I know that she loved Buster even more than life itself, and that she could not bear to be separated. Somehow, through time and space, the ties that bound the two of them had remained connected and it was inevitable that she must join him.
I am sad and I miss her terribly, but at the same time I am happy for her because I know that she is overjoyed to be with her soul mate Buster again. I wish them many happy days together at the Bridge playing in the catnip fields that we have heard of. Save a place for me, Miss Dback. I know that one day, when it is our time, we will all be together again. You always were, and will always be loved by all.
Sweet dreams sis-
Princess Nikki
Gosh- what a party that was yesterday. I can not remember ever having such a good time before. I loved the dancing the best...being a spry little thing, I was a dancing machine. I do think that I may have had just a bit too much cheesecake and a bit too much catnip cooler!!!! That cake that Ashlye brought was also delicious....we must do this again next year.

Pa. departments deal with higher gas prices
By Allison Steele
The Philadelphia Inquirer
In Upper Darby, where many police officers drive between 60 and 70 miles a day, patrols could soon get a lot shorter.
With gas prices climbing, Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood says he may try to cut patrol miles by half. Instead of cruising neighborhoods, officers would park in high-crime areas and travel from there, he said. The strategy would save money, but lengthen response time to some places.

Tips and Tricks in Macro Photography Part 1
Close-ups, photos with a short distance between the lens and the subject and a large image scale, are commonly referred to as macro images. We have put together some tips for you below so that you can capture really nice macro images.
Flowers and insects are by far the most popular subjects in macro photography. Close-ups are particularly effective in capturing nature scenes rich in color and detail. And if you first start "practicing" with stationary objects, such as leaves and flowers, you'll have plenty of time to make thorough preparations.
The macro range
Photographic images are categorized according to the size of the image scale, which is defined as the ratio between the image size and the object size.
Image scale = Image size / Object size
In other words, the image size is the measurement of the film negative or the size of the image sensor with digital cameras.
Example: When using a 35mm camera (image size 24x36mm), we achieve the image scale 1:1, if we capture our subject in full-frame exposure 24x36mm, i.e., the entire matte screen surface is covered. Digital cameras that usually feature a smaller sensor allow you to capture correspondingly smaller subjects with an image scale of 1:1.
"Normal photography" uses image scales less than 1:10. Macro photography ranges between an image scale of 1:10 and 10:1. An even larger image scale (larger than 10:1) is referred to as micro photography, which can only be achieved using special macro lenses or microscopes.
If the captured image is subsequently printed or enlarged on photographic paper, the original image scale compared to the photographed object naturally changes again.
The minimum focus distance
Each lens offers a focus range within which images can be focused. The shortest possible adjustable range is the minimum focus distance. It is always measured from the film or image sensor plane, which is marked on the housing of many cameras. All distance specifications on the lens focusing scale refer to this plane. The front lens or lens hood is also significantly closer to the subject than the distance set on the lens.
Depth of focus
Due to the low depth of focus in the close-up and macro range, images must be precisely focused. With three dimensional subjects, you must carefully consider which area is to be focused to capture the best image possible. You frequently have to stop down several apertures, for example, to 16 or 22, in order to render a sufficiently large focus range.
The "what" and "how" of a macro image also influences the out-of-focus effect: the right combination of aperture, focal length and shooting distance, etc. makes up a key artistic element. An out-of-focus background removes insignificant distracting details from the main subject and produces a much more vivid image.
The image's out-of-focus areas play a key role in its composition. These image properties, however, are more aesthetic and therefore purely subjective. The benefits of using out-of-focus areas cannot be as easily described with figures as in the case with the focused image.
Don't let your own photo experiments make you insecure. You should hone your technique regularly and experiment with your own style. You will gain greater insight, allowing you to correctly capture your images.
Due to the parallax between the image seen through the viewfinder and the detail of the photograph actually captured, analog range-finder cameras are not very suitable for macro images. Although compact digital cameras display the exact image section on their monitors and close up as well as frequently offer lenses with a very good close-up range. The integrated flash, however, is usually not very efficient for close-ups and in most cases external (macro) flashes cannot be used with these cameras. As a result, you have to rely on one or more continuous light sources to illuminate smaller subjects.
Reflex cameras and mirrorless system cameras
Analog and digital reflex cameras (SLR = Single Lens Reflex) and mirrorless system cameras (e.g. MFT, Sony NEX models) are best suited for macro photography. In addition to the advantages provided by the viewfinder or in the display, for example, optimum control of the image section and distribution of sharpness, there is also a wide range of special macro lenses, extension tubes, bellows, close-up lenses, macro lenses and other accessories.
The lens
Anyone who enjoys macro photography will most likely consider acquiring a special lens at some point. Don't try to save money at the wrong place here, as macro images not only immediately reflect the photographer's skills, the lens's quality also play a vital role in taking nice pictures.
Macro lenses usually have fixed focal lengths, such as 50 or 100 mm. Compared to zoom lenses, the advantage fixed focal lengths offer is that they have a very precise construction and allow you to optimize the spherical aberration (imaging errors) and bokeh.
Bokeh comes from Japanese and means "out of focus" and "blur". When people discuss bokeh, there are referring to the quality of the image's out-of-focus areas: how the out-of-focus areas look correlates to "good" or "bad" bokeh.
Schematic bokeh diagram for point light sources:
Left: Bad bokeh typically has light scattered in the shape of a donut. There is a bright ring on the outer edge and the center is darker.
Center: Neutral bokeh, light is scattered uniformly and is clearly defined.
Right: Good bokeh, light is scattered uniformly and softly disappears.
The bokeh a lens creates depends on many factors, such as the behavior of the spherical aberration. The shape and number of aperture blades also play a role. More blades provide an opening approximately circular in shape – with 5 blades, the opening has a more square effect than with 7 or 9 blades. All ZEISS SLR lenses have 9 aperture blades. Highlights in the fore and background are rendered in a more circular shape and therefore appear more harmonious. But that's not everything. Other factors, which are not even influenced by the lens, also play a role.
The following aspects affect the phenomena outside the focal plane, i.e., the blurriness or bokeh. However, only the points listed above are directly caused by the lens:
• Camera format
• Focal length
• Focal ratio
• Distance between camera and main subject
• Distance between fore and background
• Shapes, pattern and colors of the subject
• Brightness in the fore and background
• Aperture shape (which is formed by the number of aperture blades)
• The lens correction
• The initial opening of the lens
• Lens quality (glass purity, type of coating)
Thanks to the extra long helical mounts, modern macro lenses can achieve an image scale of 1:2 without requiring any other accessories. Their imaging properties are especially optimized for short distances, making them the first choice for most close-up applications.
Macro lenses with various focal lengths are used, depending on the application. Using the same image scale with a macro lens that has a shorter focal length, you have to zoom in closer to the subject than when using a lens with a longer focal length.
The Makro-Planar from Carl Zeiss
The Makro-Planar T* 2/50 and Makro-Planar T* 2/100 from Carl Zeiss are available with mounts for the F and EF bayonet for Nikon and Canon cameras.
Both models use a newly developed optical design with floating elements for superior imaging performance throughout the entire focusing range. Together with their high resolution capability, minimum distortion, very low color aberration and extremely little vignetting, these macro lenses are reference lenses in virtually all areas of photography, even outside the close-up range.
The Makro-Planar T* 2/50 achieves its largest image scale with a minimum focus distance of 24 cm. This puts you right up close to your subject when capturing macro images. This lens, for example, is excellently suited to render all possible patterns, such as postcards, photos and drawings. You can also use this lens as a lightweight telephoto lens for portraits with digital cameras featuring image sensors in APS-C format and an apparent focal length extension factor of 1.5 to 1.7.
The Makro-Planar T* 2/100 is a true all-rounder and an excellent choice for digital cameras with a 35mm sensor in particular. The extremely precise focusing mechanics feature an especially large rotation angle and the one-of-kind brightness of 1: 2, allowing you to focus on the subject's important details. Due to the longer focal length, you'll find yourself considerably farther away from the subject with the largest image scale possible. The minimum focus distance is 44 cm. This allows you to zoom in on animals without having to get very close. You can also maintain a comfortable distance to your model when taking portraits.
Bellows and close-up lenses
When it comes to macro photography, extension bellows are the most flexible assistants a photographer can have. They can be used with practically all fixed focal length lenses, macro lenses and magnifying lenses, allowing you to push the limits of macro photography with an image scale of up to 10:1.
Close-up lenses are screwed onto the front thread of the lens and also allow you to zoom in extremely close to the subject. Due to the enhanced imaging quality, an achromatic lens (made of two lenses bonded together) should be considered a close-up lens.
In the next segment of our tips and tricks article on macro photography, we will cover practical aspects and provide examples explaining how to take full-frame pictures of small subjects as well as provide you with more useful tips and tricks.

Hungary to pay EU fines via new tax on own citizens
Hungarian authorities will pass on the cost of EU fines through a tax on its own citizens whenever it breaches EU law.
Giving details of the new Hungarian initiative, EU justice commissioner for justice Vivian Reding told euro-deputies at the Strasbourg plenary session on Wednesday (17 April) that: "in practice citizens would be penalised twice: once for not having had their rights under EU law upheld and a second time for having to pay for this."

The so-called ad hoc tax was introduced into Hungary's latest constitutional reform in March, its fourth in the past 15 months.
The latest changes are said to undermine the rule of law by limiting the power of the constitutional court.
Hungary denies the charge.
But the commission wants it to repeal rules that entitle the president of a judicial administrative body to decide where cases should be tried, to repeal the ad-hoc EU fine tax, and to scrap restrictions placed on political adverts during election cycles.
The Venice Commission - an expert body composed of former constitutional judges in the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe - and the European Parliament are also drafting separate reports on Hungary, both of which are due by the EU assembly's June plenary
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in a letter addressed to commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso on 12 April said they will review the two issues but did not comment on the ad-hoc tax.
For her part, Reding noted that she has drafted a bundle of infringement letters against Hungary but that she is waiting for Orban's response on the ad-hoc tax issue - due by May - before sending them out as a single package.
"We will not wait until June before we come out with … infringement proceedings," she said.
The constitutional changes, among others, were pushed through a parliament which is dominated by Orban's centre-right Fidesz party.
The two-thirds Fidesz majority has made the Hungarian assembly dance to its tune since 2010, with civil liberty groups saying the Orban government is abusing its position of power to entrench its power and conservative values.
Outspoken critic, Belgian liberal leader Guy Verhofstadt, told fellow MEPs the commission should remove Hungary's voting rights in the council under a never-before-used rule for countries said to breach EU values.
"The commission should launch the procedure without delay, or else we in the parliament should have the courage to do it ourselves," he said.
Meanwhile, the threat of a commission fine on Hungary is looming as Budapest has yet to implement in practice a November decision by the EU court in Luxembourg to reinstate judges who were forced into early retirement.
The outstanding issue dates back to another set of two infringement procedures launched against Hungary last year.
Reding in late March asked Hungary's justice minister to detail the number of judges who have been reinstated.
The Hungarian justice minister replied in April but gave only figures of how many judges and prosecutors have been affected, not reinstated.
Hungary had until 6 January to implement the court's decision on the judges but missed the deadline by about three months.
While the rules have since been amended, a handful of Hungarian judges informed the commission last week they have yet to be reinstated.
"Here we can launch an infringement as well which could lead to immediate fines," an EU official close to the issue told this website.
Under Hungary's new law, the fine, if imposed, would be the first to be passed on to the Hungarian tax payer.

Hi gang. I was putting my helmet on to show my 5 year old nephew and he said he could see my chin. It wasn't sticking out ( I checked in the mirror ), but from a little guys vantage point, it was visible.
I've been researching balaclava's as I wear one for snowmobiling, and found the Coolmax version. It's made for warm weather instead of cold. I normally wear an Under Armor skull cap when TK-ing and I've found it to be absolutely necessary for sweat management as well as a good bucket fit.
Has anyone tried this coolmax balaclava yet ?
Any other remedies for the big chin ?
Thanks everyone.

........In January 2010 one of our members contacted us saying that he had been informed that another well known and very large Martial Arts group were stating that their membership now included insurance for sparring / competting in MMA.
We contacted this group direct and after a long telephone conversation found that this is not the case as they had developed their own version of MMA! They had written their own set of rules which included no strikes to the head or back when on the gound and the use of more protective equipment.
This is NOT MMA as most know and practice it. Instead this is Sport Ju-Jitsu, or Knock Down Budo as it is also known, which has always been covered.
Beginner - Just started
Intermediate - got the basics starting to get the knowledge
Advanced - very good working towards first real fight
Fighter - had first fight
Advanced fighter - had 10 fights more than 50% wins
Semi pro fighter - good enough for small purse
Pro Fighter - what it says on the tin
and an MMA coach is an MMA coach, some will have been fighters some wont, some will have BB some wont, its all down to their ability to get the best out of their fighters, and good fighters will find the good coaches.
Agreed Fighters will 'vote with their feet'.
As for the grade structure yes none will wear belts or even anything to show grade, but as i said in my earlier posts this was the fairest way we came up with after many conversations with MMA clubs within the C.M.A.A.
In our opionion a person must fight to grade, however your suggested method is also viable and should a group decide to use it then it would be their way just as ours is ours and would no doubt be very much welcomed by those who use it.
Thanks for your input
IMO this whole thing with a governing body is needed
however it should under no circumstances be a group who want to change the rules of our sport
in my opinion you should not need a balck belt to be a coach, you should however need to display your abilities as a coach
the idea of a sylabus for coaching is a daft one as well, were not learning french here, were learning how to fight, its not "do this do that" kinda sport, we need to be adapting to be able to handle different styles of opponents, and we need to be constantly learning, its not a case of if you know x,y,z you can fight mma
with all due respect to wako... still to kickboxing where you belong!
Stuart Baxter - Contributing writer - The Fight Lounge
Anyway the debate, goes on, wako are are putting shows and courses on and it works, we wear 6 ounce gloves and do 3x3minrds and provide astepping stone tournament for people looking to put their toes in the water, also if anyone from 45yrs to 55yrs fancy a fight under wako rules l personally am looking for one before the end of the year, l am in my 50's weight 66kg, its so much fun l just want one last one.Any takers.
Nice one boss!!!!!...true warrior!

CUTS to the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) could affect cover in South Lakeland and Eden, a union representative has warned.
The NWAS must save £14 million across the region and plans to remove both an ambulance at Carlisle and a rapid response vehicle at Penrith at night – which it is claimed will put pressure on services elsewhere in the county.
"Reducing the number of ambulances by a third in Carlisle, from three to two, is a terrible idea," said Cumbrian paramedic Mike Oliver, who represents Unison in Lancashire and Cumbria.
- PROPERTY: Eden construction firm recruits apprentices to plug skills gap
- Man arrested on suspicion of murder after Kendal house fire will face no further action, police confirm
- 70-year-old man missing from Kendal
- Tetraplegic man's Snowdon ascent for spinal injury charity
"They're struggling to meet demand with current resources, so reducing the service even further seems madness to me.
"There only needs to be one occasion when an ambulance from the north of the county has to go to Middlesborough, and it's game over – if there's another emergency the service will just not be able to cope. This will have a knock-on effect in places like Brough, Penrith and in the south of the county."
Mr Oliver said that the service in the north of the county already struggled to meet targets – making 65.5 per cent of calls within eight minutes instead of the guideline 75 per cent, and staff regularly skip meals to stay on the road.
A spokesman for union GMB also hit out at the announcement, saying 'all sections of NWAS are to face cutbacks irrespective of whether it impacts on patient services or not'.
Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron added that it could be 'life-threatening' for South Lakeland residents.
"I am worried about the implications of these plans for residents in South Lakeland as I believe we could be left with less cover," he said.
Alan Stuttard, deputy chief executive and director of finance for NWAS, said: "In an increasingly chal-lenging financial environ-ment, we need to look at how efficiencies can be made. Our priority is and will always be patient care."
NWAS bosses will now meet union representatives.

Mathematica won't stop
Sometimes (not yet well-defined) I try to stop a loop, (either because
it's running some wrong code or because the loop will take days or
hours) with alt-comma but it keeps going. More than once I have had to
shut the whole system off. Granted, Microsoft does not provide a
competent universal interrupt (which the 35-year-old Tops-10 did very
nicely) but maybe Mathematica can be modified to stop more easily. ?? Is anyone
else bummed by this?

This article reprinted with permission from Stateline.org
States are under pressure to comply with the Adam Walsh Act by July -- or lose 10 percent of their share of funding under a federal grant program that pays for state and local police programs.
Arizona parents who want to find out whether a suspicious e-mail has been sent by a registered sex offender now can check the sender's e-mail address against the state's database of convicted molesters.
Utah residents can sign up for e-mail alerts to notify them when a sex offender moves into their neighborhood.
Wisconsin's online registry provides maps to let users know exactly where the closest sex offender lives.
And in Texas, the state's sex offender registry -- which includes more than 54,000 people -- now features information ranging from offenders' work addresses to their nicknames and even shoe sizes.
The four states are among more than two dozen that quietly have added a wide range of new services -- and new categories of information -- to their online registries of convicted molesters. All 50 states have publicly searchable sex offender registries, which are accessible through a national database kept by the U.S. Justice Department, a Web site that averages 2.3 million page views a day.
The new features come as states approach a July deadline to comply with the Adam Walsh Act, a 2006 federal law intended to crack down on the estimated 674,000 registered sex offenders in the United States. The law was named after the murdered 6-year-old son of "America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh, who was informed by police in Florida on Dec. 16 that his son's killer was identified after more than 25 years.
The Adam Walsh Act requires all states to adopt the same minimum standards for registering and tracking sex offenders, including the information they post online. Under the law, states must include where sex offenders work and go to school, the cars they drive, the aliases they use, the crimes they have committed and more.
The law also calls for some juvenile offenders as young as 14 to be included in online registries, though many states so far have balked at that provision, arguing that juveniles should not be singled out publicly.
Many state lawmakers, corrections officials, advocacy organizations and members of the public have criticized the Adam Walsh Act, questioning its costs, demands and whether aspects of it do more harm than good. The posting of new information about sex offenders also has drawn criticism. Blogs and other Internet forums have buzzed as visitors voice frustration over the trove of details now available to anyone at the click of a mouse.
"The Justice Department says it's there simply for information and not for punishment. If they were in our shoes, I think they'd reconsider," said Carlos Robles, 32, a registered sex offender in Austin, Texas. Robles -- who received probation for engaging in consensual sex with a 16-year-old when he was 20 -- said nonviolent and low-risk criminals should not be included on the Texas registry.
States are under pressure to comply with the Adam Walsh Act by July -- or lose 10 percent of their share of funding under a federal grant program that pays for state and local police programs. No states have been deemed compliant with the Adam Walsh Act yet, though they can apply for a pair of one-year extensions.
At least 13 states last year and 12 states in 2007 passed laws authorizing the collection of new information from sex offenders, according to the

I carry a Colt Stainless CC XSE with Big Dot Sights every day with 2 spare 8 round wilson 47d mags
Printable View
I carry a Colt Stainless CC XSE with Big Dot Sights every day with 2 spare 8 round wilson 47d mags
I still carry an XSE Commander sometimes. It is still the thinnest, lightest .45 I've used.
I have and still do carry a 1911.
I've started carrying one around the house and property.
It's my first 1911 and until I'm more familiar with the new pistol the SP101 will remain my main carry.
Count me in, i cycle the sp101 too
I'm assuming it must have been an enhanced hammer/swept beaver-tail (where no space is between them, trapping fabric) like so:
Vs the stock grip safety and spur hammer like this (where there's too much room for fabric to get stuck)?
I've never heard of anything like that...but then I haven't been around long enough to see it all.
Yep, my usual carry is a New Agent in .45 (3" barrel) in a CTAC. Sometimes I carry a Mil-spec (5" barrel) in an MTAC. On rare occasion I carry my SP101 in a cheapo Fobus holster. I'm sensing a theme here.
Primarily carry a 3-inch 1911 but on occasion will carry a 4 or 5 inch.
My EDC rotation includes a 3" 1911 in a MTAC. Occasionally, I carry my 5" 1911 in a DM Bullard Bodyguard.
Yep... there's a 1911 in the carry rotation, along with a .38 snub and a Kahr CW9.
Haven't had a reliability problem with any of the 3 1911s... no need to tinker with 'em... they haven't worn my patience thin. The TRP gets used about 120 rounds a week in club matches, haven't done more than wipe it down and give it a little lube in 4-5 months now.
I carry one every day, have for two years.
Stainless Officer's 1911 is my go-to concealed carry piece for the last 25 years. Best ergonomics for me of anything I have shot, never a malfunction except bad ammo. I sometimes have to forego the 1911 if I need to deep conceal. Full-size 1911 when I'm doing chores at the ranch.
My Kimber Ultra Covert II is my edc 1911.
That's what's great about the 1911. I've never possessed a 1911 that didn't run reliably, or that required time and patience to keep it running reliably, and that's after running a substantial pile of .45 ammo through the ones I own and have owned over 34 years time.

Level Structures are rectilinear constructions made of interlocking spirit levels. Clicked horizontally or vertically into position, each spirit level is aligned to display a perfect state of equilibrium. Level Structures can be assembled from a simple set of instructions, and remade as new configurations at a later time. By implementing a tectonic system that accumulates towards pure geometric abstraction, Level Structures fuse the high ideals of Minimalism with the democratic principles of DIY.
The aesthetics of Andre, Judd and LeWitt inform the series, as does the Duchamp tradition of the readymade. However, Level Structures might also be characterised by their use of multiple, mass-produced components and by the humanizing act of having been physically assembled, much like a game or puzzle. With the artwork's potential to be made, unmade, and re-made, the spirit level is conceived as a new kind of readymade: one that sees the functional use of this object as an integral part of its presentation as art.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 5:04pm
You've always wondered what the players on the big stages in lacrosse listen to — well wonder no more.
Former Dartmouth and Duke middie Jon Livadas and his crew at Big Green Beats are pumping out exclusive interviews with the players and the music playlists that they are listening to right before they gear up and head out to the field.
This week's "Inside the Beats" features Loyola midfielder Marlee Paton.
1) What are three songs on your iPod before a big game?
The Motto by Drake, T.H.E (The Hardest Ever) by Wil.i.am and anything by Avicci are my go to's lately.
2) If all else fails, what is your all time favorite go to pump up jam?
Cant go wrong with any of 5 & A Dimes mash ups!
3) What are the top 10 songs in your iTunes most played? Be honest
Glad You Came by The Wanted
T.H.E by Wil.i.am
Watch the throne by Kanye & Jay Z
Wild Ones – Flo Rida ft. Sia
Starships – Nicky Minaj
Scary Monsters – Skrillex
Turn up the music – Chris Brown
Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen
Take Care – Rhianna & Drake
Look At Her Go – T-Pain & Chris Brown
Create a playlist at MixPod.com
4) Who are your five favorite artists of all time?
Kinda random but Beyoncé, Jack Johnson, Coldplay, Drake and Adele
5) Would you rather be the biggest DJ in the world today or the lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world in the 80's/90's?
I think I would rather be the biggest DJ in the world. I've never really been the biggest rock fan and enjoy today's popular DJ's like Avicci, David Guetta and Calvin Harris. Even though there are so many DJ's out there today, I think that being able to DJ all around the world at festivals and concerts would be amazing!
6) What are your favorite genres? How has your music taste developed over your lacrosse career?
I like all types of music from house, pop and more chilled acoustic genres. But since coming over to America, much to the dismay of my friends back home, I have started to gain a soft spot for country music thanks to my teammate's Joanna Dalton and Ashley Cahill who are diehard country fans.
7) If you could mash up 3 songs into one what would you choose?
Chris Brown - Turn up the music, Take Care by Rhianna & Drake, and Starships by Nicky Minaj, because they are all by some of my favorite artists.
10) What songs are popular right now in the locker room? Who claims to be the team DJ? More importantly, who actually is the team DJ?
Call Me Maybe is a definite favorite to get all of us pumped up and jumping around. Starships by Nicky Minaj is another popular tune that we have been listening to. We can credit all our music from the one and only DJ Reindog (sophomore Katie Reinhard). She always has the latest music and makes playlists whether it's pre game, lift or just chilling in the locker room.
11) Who has the worst taste in music taste on the team? Who has the best (besides you)? Why?
Our team has very eclectic tastes in music we have a lot of country fans but also have people who love Avicci and Nicky Minaj, so our taste is very diverse!
12) What are a few songs that headline your team's warm up mix? And who is left in charge with the monumental decision of what goes on the warm up mix?
At Loyola we take our warm up tunes very seriously. Our warm up is a very original and unique production, mixed and mashed up by Katie Reinhard, Ana Heneberry and Kerry Stoothoff. It has a mix of both old and new songs and even contains some of our favorite movie quotes!
13) Usually each year a team develops an "anthem" that seems to get played after big wins or in times of need. What is your teams "anthem" right now?
I'm sure this goes for many teams this year but 'Call Me Maybe?' by Carly Rae Jepsen, is a standout so far this season.
14) What is the best live show you have ever attended? If you could attend any show or music event what would it be?
I went to the Jack Johnson concert a couple of years ago back home in Australia and it was one of the best concerts I've been too. He is brilliant live and it was an outside concert in the spring, which made it even better! If I could attend any concert it would be Beyoncé. I've been a huge fan of hers since her Destiny Child days and think she's one of the best entertainers out there.

This book explores five major approaches to this important biblical topic that have developed in Protestant circles. Each of the five authors presents his particular perspective on the issue and responds to the other four.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was charged with a crime but on the charging instrument complaint tgey have identified me by my correct name but then in two other paragraohs it gas my first name correct and two times my last name is wrong. I have a court appointed attorney and i feel like he dont want to work....
Discuss this with your lawyer
If this answer was helpful to you or if it was the best answer, please click the buttons that state helpful and best answer. Please understand that all of my answers are for informational purposes only, are not legal advise, and do not create an attorney-client relationship between you and me. I am not your attorney and you are not my client unless we enter into a signed contract.

If you want to more information about personal injury, visit http://www.sainjurylawyer.com or if you want more information about criminal defense, visit http://www.giardinolawfirm.com. Good luck!Ask a similar question
The charging instrument can be easily amended by the State. If you set the case for trial, they will almost certainly catch the error and correct it. Or it may be a harmless error depending how incorrect the spelling is. Also, it sounds like you are talking about an enhancement paragraph. This has no effect on the underlying charge--just whether or not they can prove that paragraph.
Macy Jaggers's answer to a legal question on Avvo does not establish an attorney-client relationship. Ms. Jaggers offers everyone a free consultation to discuss their case. Feel free to call her office at 214-365-9800 to make an appointment (phones are answered 24 hours) or visit her website at www.macyjaggers.com for more information about her services and recent victories.Ask a similar question
Bottom line: a misspelling or wrong last name in a subsequent paragraph of an indictment is not likely to result in a dismissal or directed verdict. Talk to your lawyer about whether or not this specific error is meaningful.Ask a similar question

Let me guess... gr is a cc'er not an oc'er!
Florida LE are not accustomed to seeing open carry, especially in town. Being that the "tool" in this video did not have his fishing equiptment with him, (it was already on the pier) The officer had every right to question him.
Speaking of "tools" let us not forget...Florida would have had open carry in last years legislative session, had Pinellas county Sheriff Jim Coates not told the legislators his dept. would "draw down" on anyone carring a weapon.
No problem with questioning him. It is perfectly legal to do so.
In fact, I'd expect it and would myself. If the guy cooperated, Great, easy encounter. When it became apparent it was going to be a test, it was time to confirm intent to fish/hunt, then evaluate the situation for what it was.
Let's see, decent looking vehicle, pulls up right in front of my squad, gets out with holstered weapon in plain view, locks car, happens to have video camera running, near fishing pier, in the middle of the day, doesn't appear to be impaired.
Thank you for showing your fishing gear sir, have a nice day.
Wow, there really is a significant differnece of opinion here.
the 4th and 5th amendments (and the 14th) are pretty important. I don't think itis a good idea for people, especially those whose job is to serve, protect, enforce the laws, and maintain peace to ignore those amendments - ever.
OTOH, I think that a polite request for someone to identify themselves - assuming there is NOT probable cause to interdict, arrest or restrain - is not at all unreasonable. By the same token there is no requirement that an American citizen need comply with such a request.
Still, it makes sense to cooperate with a REASONABLE request which does not require an unreasonable effort.
LEO's have a difficult, dangerous, stressful very complex job that calls on them to make split second decisions. We are all aware of that. I have seen ohter YOUTUBE videos in which officers have approached OC'ers in a reasonable fashion and have had no problem. I don't think the OC'ers should have a problem with it either - most of the time. I also think we should have Neimoller's thoughts engraved on the slides of our weapons...

BWW Interviews: THE BACHELOR's AshLee Tells All
Personally speaking, I didn't have a Hard Time with it, because at the end of the day, I knew the type of foundation that I shared with Sean. And I wasn't fazed one time. Granted, minus last week because of the drama, but other than that, I never felt my relationship with him wavered. And I was very confident.
Can you make the case for each of the final women? Yourself, Catherine, Desiree, and Lindsay, and why Sean might pick each one?
Well, Lindsay is very fun. I mean, she's always cracking jokes. Desiree has a very - sense of stability. Catherine just seems to have a big heart. So those would be my descriptives. And myself? I think with Sean and I it was just about building a relationship on a strong foundation.
What was your reaction, when Tierra pointed out that you're 32 and not married, and that she hopes when she is that age, she will be.
I didn't know until I actually saw the show. I laughed. Because, I mean, what are you going to do? I'm 32. I've never thought about my age so much in my life, considering the episode.
So, I mean, I really can't - what am I going to do? Go back in time and not be 32? So, I mean, I can't think twice about it. It doesn't bother me.
Throughout the season,some viewers have been saying they think you might be a little too intense for Sean. I just want to get your reaction and thoughts on that.
Well, when it came to my relationship with Sean, I did take that a little bit more serious, because this is my future. This is marriage, and that's not something I want to tread into lightly. But for the most part, I'm not really sure where that comes from. I had a blast. I joked, I laughed. Danielle was there. I mean - I mean, Danielle (inaudible). I mean, we all had such a blast, and we played games, and - surely joked all the time. So I'm not really sure where she gets that from.
What made you decide to wait so long to tell Sean about your first marriage? Did he have more follow-up questions for you that just didn't get shown on the air.
That's a very good question. I think - obviously I wasn't going to tell him on our very first date. That just didn't seem appropriate for me. Because I want to know somebody before I divulge my story to them. So I wanted to make sure I was feeling everything correctly and the vibe was there. And then every other time in between, it was either a group date or the rose ceremony, and that just wasn't the appropriate time to actually say, "OK, I have something serious to talk to you about." And so that's why I waited until that date to talk to him.
I feel like he asked a few more questions. He was as great as the show shows. He was so genuine and loving to me, and made me feel like a huge weight had lifted off and, you know, made me feel like it's OK.
Do you think that everyone who is left at this point in the show is capable or ready for marriage?
You know, I really don't know, because I really just can vouch for myself. I mean, if they say they are, I want to take it for face value and say, "Of course, you are." I would hope anybody that would come on to the show would be ready.
But honestly, I can only speak for myself, and say 100 percent, you know, I was completely ready to give my heart to somebody and fall in love.
For the longest time, Sean seemed to really be into Tierra. Did you ever wonder, "Wait a second. If he likes her and her antics, then how can he really be into me?"
That's a good question. You know, I kind of just felt like I had to put my own mind set on one thing. And that was my relationship with Sean.
And I could not sit in that house and wonder, "Oooh. Why is he keeping Tierra? Why is he . . ." - you can't think like that. You have to really compartmentalize your feelings and your mind set into focusing on what is really going to happen at the end of all this.
And I knew Sean was smart. He'd eventually realize, at one point or another, somehow, I knew he'd come to and realize it. So, it wasn't something during that time I allowed myself to focus on.
AshLee, going back to the comments that Catherine had at the end of Monday night's episode, when she was very tearful, you said she was very close friends with Lesley, and that's probably where those comments came from. But since she was worried that Lesley had more in common with Sean than herself, do you think that's a sign she might not be the right girl?
Oh, no. I mean, I couldn't say that. You know, honestly, I don't know her relationship with Sean. We all kept our relationships with him private. But I would definitely not say - I would say it was about, for the most part, her friend was leaving the house.
Why did you originally apply for The Bachelor? Did you know, going into the show that it was going to be Sean?
I had a friend that nominated me. And the very following week I heard from casting. So, it wasn't too long after that when I did find out it was Sean. And that's when I really started to allow myself to, kind of, crush on this guy and, you know, look into, like - "Hmm, OK, what's this guy about?" And ask questions about who he is. And so, yeah, I knew it was Sean going into it.
Don't miss the next episode of The Bachelor airing MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. Back in the U.S. after a whirlwind trip from Los Angeles to Montana to Canada to St. Croix, the stakes are high as Sean crisscrosses the country on an exciting, emotionally charged journey to visit the final four women's hometowns. AshLee and Sean enjoy an emotional afternoon with her family in Houston.
The Bachelor isn't received with open arms by all of Catherine's family in Seattle. Lindsay's intimidating father meets Sean on his turf - Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, where he is a two-star general. And when Sean hits Los Angeles, he is blindsided by Desiree's ex-boyfriend. The rollercoaster ride ends when he must make a gut-wrenching decision to narrow the field to three women - one of whom he believes will be his wife.

In Ireland, it is not unusual for a fella to be called "a cute hoor."
The term is used to describe a slippery character, a schemer who gets what he wants with slyness. It is often used in admiration. And it has nothing to do with sex or prostitution. It is never applied to a woman.
However, it's the perfect term to describe the central character in Don't Trust the B**** in Apartment 23 (ABC, CITY-TV, 9:30 p.m.), which premieres tonight. That character is Chloe (Krysten Ritter), a scammer extraordinaire. Chloe doesn't pay for her drinks in bars and instinctively rips off every stranger she encounters. All done with a certain charm, naturally.
Obviously, Chloe is the "b****" in the title. And this new sitcom is the second mid-season show to flirt with the word "b****." GCB, the catty and wacky Sunday-night soap, is based on Kim Gatlin's bestselling book Good Christian Bitches, and held that title through development until it was decided that it would be GCB and that title was shorthand for "Good Christian Belles."
Two show titles do not a trend make, but there is something illuminating about the wariness of using the word "b****." Back in January, when Paul Lee, an Englishman and head honcho at ABC, met TV critics, he dwelt briefly on the issue when asked about the two titles. What he said was, "When we looked at Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23, we felt that.…" And there he stopped to collect his thoughts and move forward carefully. He finally concluded, "Look, on broadcast television, it turns out that it's not a word that you want to use in the title."
This is interesting because the b-word is used in dialogue on network TV regularly. It's just that it is used only by women referring to other women. (This newspaper will only allow the b-word to be used in a direct quote and in context.) It's one of those situations in which one group seems to have proprietary ownership of a word. Nobody else gets to use it. It's also an illustration of our high sensitivity to certain words. English, as spoken in the United States and Canada, has a peculiar rigidity in public usage. While all language is elastic and usage grows and changes organically, in this neck of the woods we tend to try to put English on a leash.
We tend to be worrywarts. We tend to let language shift in popular usage and hope that somebody, somewhere, will make a decision about whether it's permissible to use, in print and in TV-show titles, a word that has been drained of its original sting. We're foolish that way.
As it turns out, Don't Trust the B**** in Apartment 23 is not merely interesting because of its title. It's a very funny, clever comedy about people and a culture in which everything is a scam.
We meet June (Dreama Walker), who arrives in New York from Indiana to take a cool job at a big finance company. On arrival, she discovers that the entire company is one big scam and has just been exposed. Viewers will see echoes of the collapse of Wall Street banks and the Bernie Madoff scandal. Looking for work and a place to live, June encounters Chloe. It turns out that Chloe has a habit of taking a rental deposit and then behaving with such strangeness that the roommate flees, fleeced. June is unaware until a woman down the hall whispers, "Don't trust the b---- in apartment 23."
An added ingredient to the already loopy comedy is Chloe's best pal, who happens to be actor James Van Der Beek, the teen heartthrob from Dawson's Creek, playing himself. This Van Der Beek is a guy lazily cruising on his Dawson's rep and happily putting on his old character's plaid shirt to thrill women who once had a crush on him.
What unfolds is nutty. Awakened by Chloe to her inner b****, June turns out to be not as wholesome as at first thought. There is a hilarious bit of business with the arrival of June's allegedly saintly boyfriend and, well, everybody is scammed in every direction.
Krysten Ritter is fabulous as Chloe, an emphatic femme fatale, a con artist who seems to have a heart of gold but doesn't. Van Der Beek is clearly having a whale of a time playing an outrageous version of himself. But what's really compelling is how eminently skeptical the show is, and how confident it is about being an emanation of a culture in which everything seems to be a con job. It's a sharp take on the ubiquity of fraud in the U.S. today.
As for the word b****, it is clearly used here to attract female viewers. They know what it means and how to apply it. It's been applied to me many times by lady readers. I have never been a called a "cute hoor," though.

Although they are implemented for safety purposes, many security warnings end up being more of a sore thumb to the user than benefit them in any way. For example, Internet Explorer often shows dialog box with a security warning shown below:
"Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?"
This webpage contains content that will not delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage.
This particular dialog box contains three choices "More Info" to open a help window , yes to block non-secure content and no to display mixed content.ADVERTISEMENT
The technical reason for showing such a warning is that on a page with a mix of secure and non-secure content (HTTP and HTTPS), non-secure web scripts may be able to access secure information.
If you do not visit shady sites (read porn/warez/hacking/otherwise illegal), then you may want to disable "Do You Want To View Only the Webpage Content that Was Delivered Securely?" security warning / dialog box.
Turn off /disable "Only webpage content delivered securely?" security warning

WA State Employees Pay Cuts Restored
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington state employees won't be getting a raise this year but will see a pay cut restored. The Olympian reports that as of July 1, the new state budget brings workers' wages back to 2011 levels. Most of the state's 59,000 workers will be eligible for 1 percent raises in July 2014 if state revenue recovers enough to cover a provision in their contracts.

In case it hasn't been posted... iPhone works great with BMW Bluetooth
Full address book transfer, all functions seem to work perfectly. Also works (with a few little oddities) with the BMW iPod adapter and charges the phone as it would the iPod.
Just a PSA :)
Yup. The iphone works fully on my '05 Z4 and also my '05 525i. Full address book transfer with just over 550 contacts and all other features work as well.
Man you REALLY need to create a different Contacts folder for your Phone sync... who wants to scroll through 550 contacts on with the up and down arrows?!?!? I keep my full list on my Outlook Contacts default folder, then I have a Sync Contacts folder with a subset that I need 99% of the time...
Just a thought :)

Now, that's a tool!!!:smt082:smt082:smt082
18 volt? Variable Speed? I'm not sure, but I thought I saw one on the DeWalt truck at Home Depot last Thursday.
My new Nail Gun, made by Dewalt.
It can drive a 6-D nail thru a 2 X 4 at 200 yards.
This makes construction a real breeze.
You can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence. Just get the wife and kids to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back, relax with a cold beer, when they have the board in the right place just fire away.
With the hundred round magazine, you can build a fence with a minimum of reloading.
After a day of fence building with the new Dewalt Rapid fire nail gun, the wife will not ask you fix or build anything else.
Available for a little more is the 'band-aid magazine' for those near misses when fence building.
I think it has some competition (pic from ARFcom, several years ago):
Ya got me there!
Although it has no visible air supply hose, I thought I heard it was gas operated... :mrgreen:
I bet this is not available in the tool section of home depot
I would love to find one of those!! Awesome!!!
Is it a Paslode?

George Bush, who supposedly is president of the entire United States at a time of war, came out swinging against perfidious Democrats who are like the people who ignored the rise of Hitler and Lenin. Bush accused Democrats of stalling important legislation that would prevent terrorist attacks and giving a hard time to Michael Mukasey for attorney general. "Unfortunately, on too many issues, some in Congress are behaving as if America is not at war." He is upset that Congress won't give him power to eavesdrop on terrorist suspects. Those terrible Democrats are trying to "weaken our ability to intercept information from terrorists about potential attacks on the United States of America."
It would help if George Bush ever actually read a history book. The Russian Revolution occurred toward the end of World War I and by 1920 Lenin was established as ruler of Russia. George, all the presidents of the United States from 1920-1932 were Republicans. During Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s, Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, took leadership in fighting Hitler while the REPUBLICAN PARTY ARGUED FOR AN ISOLATIONIST POLICY. It has been documented that President Bush received warnings about a potential attack on America in 2001, but chose to ignore the warnings. It is Bush who created the mess of Iraq, it is Bush who argues for the right to torture, it is Bush who believes this nation is not strong enough to be a democracy while fighting terrorism. Perhaps, the most bizarre aspect of his comments is that Republican Senators Arnold Spector, Lindsay Graham and John McCain have been demanding that Mukasey take a stand and state clearly "waterboarding" is torture. They have even indicated they might vote against his confirmation without such a statement. So, according to Bush, it's all the fault of Democrats.

2002 Catera Oil Leak
Hello all, and thanks for the welcome. My step mother-in-law has an '02 Catera with less than 60,000 miles on it and has recently begun leaking oil. There is seapage from the valve covers which I've learned reading on this forum is due to (probably) the plastic valve cover issue and seems like a pretty straightforward fix. The other leak seems to be coming from the front crank seal. On a car with such low mileage this is surprising but not unheard of. However, in reading here, there may be another source of the leak, the oil cooler/breather located in the intake manifold above the valley. Is it possible that a leak there would manifest itself down by the front seal? Are there oil lines that run up the front of the engine to this cooler?
Normally the car would go to their favorite mechanic but since she is now a widow, her costs must be watched more carefully. Cadillac wants near $900 for the crank seal fix, but also has not done a thourough check to see if that's what it actually is. Her everyday mechanic wants $600 for valve cover seals, a new timing belt, and front crank seal replacement (this doesn't seem too to bad to me).
Also, is there a good source to search for and thru recall notices?
What think ye?
Thanks for any help.

Re: 2002 Catera Oil Leak
Here's list of TSB's and recall notices for the 2001 Catera. She may have bought it in 2002, but there was no 2002 model Catera.
The valve cover gaskets are common, and as you have priced it, reasonable. Why don't you start there and see if it cuts down on most of not all of the oil leak? You can live with a bit of an oil leak as I have for years.

Re: 2002 Catera Oil Leak
For your step mother's piece of mind and information, read through these post. With that low mileage she might be able to get something for it on a trade for a decent, reliable car. The highest repair quote that the Caddy dealer gave me was for about $2300 for a new ABS module. Had it rebuilt and installed for about $450.
The car is a money pit. So bad so, that Caddy dealers don't like to work on them. They will give you outrageous quotes just so that you go elsewhere.
Re: 2002 Catera Oil Leak
investor74, thanks for the link, that will come in handy. I'm not a Caddy person, she's not a CAR person, so when she told me it was an '02, I just took her word for it. Now I know. The seeping gasket covers are'nt that big of a deal (at least for now anyway), it's the other leak that's the problem, she's having to put in a quart about every two weeks, and she hardly drives the thing. She still has a couple of mechanic options - friends of friends who are retired mechanics working out of their homes.
And kaustein, thanks for your input as well. I was looking at the stack of repair receipts she has and was wondering the same thing - "Is this car worth keeping?", and "What's next?" It may be tough to convince her to let it go, there's a real sentimental attachment there...we'll see.

There is nothing like getting your hands on a great science activity. 5th graderss got to do that recently at Brauchle's Wild About STAAR Night on April 16th. Students classified and measured insects, made slime (Is it solid or liquid?), and mined for fossil fuels. Other activities for 5th graders included a reflection/refraction lab, and weathering chocolate, then putting it through the rock cycle. We are not sure who enjoyed the experience more, the teachers or the students. We LOVE Science!

Intense Exercise during Long Space Flights Can Help Astronauts Protect Aerobic Capacity
Bethesda, Md. (August 29, 2014) — Most people don't think much about their aerobic capacity while at work. But for astronauts carrying out missions on the International Space Station (ISS), maintaining their cardiovascular stamina during long space flights is part of the job. They must be prepared to perform physically demanding tasks or emergency maneuvers at any time during flights that can last between three and six months in a weightless environment.
In an effort to protect their aerobic capacity and prepare their bodies, astronauts routinely perform in-flight cardiovascular and strength exercises. But the effect of exercise on astronauts traveling to the ISS was not known because aerobic capacity (V̇O2peak) had only been studied in shorter trips, not during and after longer space flights.
To understand whether the routinely prescribed exercise was effectively maintaining V̇O2peak, researchers Alan D. Moore Jr., et al., with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Human Research Program followed 14 astronauts (nine men and five women) who traveled on space flights between 91 and 192 days. On average, the subjects exercised 30 minutes a day on five to six days each week at an average intensity of 73% of peak heart rate. The research team measured V̇O2peak at approximately nine months and three months before launch; on day 15 of the flight; every subsequent 30 flight days; and day one, 10 and 30 following re-entry to Earth.
The research team observed a ~17% overall reduction in V̇O2peak by flight day 15 across the study sample. While some astronauts experienced a significant decline in V̇O2peak (a dip that rebounded later in the space flight), other astronauts did not experience any substantial change in V̇O2peak. Interestingly, the astronauts with the highest V̇O2peak experienced the greatest reduction in capacity, but according to the authors, "this finding should not be interpreted that a high preflight aerobic capacity is undesirable. Although the astronauts with high capacities tended to lose more, they typically remained at higher levels than crew who started at lower levels.
"These results provide evidence that, although many astronauts experience a decline in V̇O2peak during ISS missions, use of the aerobic exercise hardware aboard the ISS combined with exercise prescriptions of sufficient exercise intensity can be used to effectively prevent decline in aerobic capacity," the researchers wrote.
The article "Peak exercise oxygen uptake during and following long-duration spaceflight" is published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. It is highlighted as one of this month's "best of the best" as part of the American Physiological Society's APSselect program. View the full study here: http://ow.ly/AP7t7.
