Kennedy OT goal increases Penguins' streak to 12
Penguins defenseman Simon Despres couldn't have known about the vote of confidence his general manager had just given him.
That didn't stop him from making Ray Shero look like a smart man Sunday night.
Despres made the play that triggered Tyler Kennedy's overtime goal in a 2-1 victory against the Flyers. The Penguins have won 12 consecutive games and might not have had the opportunity for the victory without the 21-year-old defenseman's daring play.
Despres easily could have dumped the puck deep while Penguins forwards made a change — in fact, any hockey coach would have favored such a move — but the youngster possesses abilities that aren't always coachable.
"He'll make a play like once a night, where you go, 'Whoa, you can't do that,' but he goes and gets it done," defenseman Matt Niskanen said.
Despres made such a play in overtime, coolly waiting for forwards Kennedy and Pascal Dupuis to jump into the play while holding the puck at the Flyers' blue line.
"I knew our two forwards were coming," Despres said. "I just wanted to slow down and wait for them. I couldn't get a good pass through to Duper, so I just banked it off the boards to him."
Plays like that are part of the reason Shero traded defenseman Joe Morrow — he clearly is a believer in Despres' ability.
"Simon is not in any trade discussions," Shero said following the first period. "To me, he'll be here on our team. We liked him as a prospect. He's a young player coming up like Kris Letang back in 2008. Kris didn't play every game in the playoffs (that year), but it was a great experience for him being around the type of players that we had."
After Despres' calculated decision helped Dupuis control possession, Kennedy ripped a wrist shot that beat goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. Sidney Crosby, the NHL's leading scorer, tied the game, 1-1, with 6:14 remaining on a slap shot during a five-on-three power play.
"I passed up a couple of shots in the first period," Kennedy said. "Wasn't doing that again."
The Penguins decided to trade Morrow partially because of Despres' emergence.
He still makes the occasional mistake — notably a turnover in the third period that gave the Flyers an odd-man rush — but makes up for it with his play at both ends of the ice.
Shero's comments give the defenseman more confidence.
"It's nice to hear," he said.
His teammates appear to be buying into Despres' presence on the blue line, even if he has an aggressive style.
"I don't think confidence has ever been a problem for him," defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "That's one of the reasons you see him try some of the things he does. Sometimes you get young guys who are too stupid to be nervous. Guys like him are so carefree that they're actually really tough to play against."
Coach Dan Bylsma said he thinks Despres has become tough to play against.
"He has great ability," Bylsma said. "He's got the puck-moving ability. He's got the size. He does not play a soft game."
And he never had to worry about being surpassed by Morrow on the depth chart.
"He shouldn't have felt footsteps from Joe Morrow," Bylsma said. "He's a legitimate, contributing, good defenseman in this league."
And he's only getting better.
"This is all part of his learning curve," Orpik said. "There is an awful lot of talent there."

Outstanding Staff Award - Marvin C. Perry, III
Marvin Perry was raised in Indianapolis, Indiana and fell in love with Wyoming during a backpacking trip in the Wind River Range. After attending Purdue University, he earned a master's degree in mechanical engineering at UW under the direction of Dr. David Walrath. Before returning to Laramie in 2007, he held several positions with Toray Industries, primary supplier of composite material to the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" airplane. He worked in Alabama and Washington as composite materials research engineer and process engineer, and was appointed R&D liaison to Boeing and other 787 partner companies.
Marvin now stays occupied designing and maintaining specialized equipment in support of broad experimental research in the Civil & Architectural Engineering Department. He spends much of his time assisting graduate students in setting up their experimental apparatus, usually involving custom software and instrumentation. He is a member of the College's Staff Council and currently serves as Vice Chair for the Council.
"Marvin provides exceptional design and programming for a diverse range of applications, but more importantly, he instructs our students on "real world" engineering topics," said Jonathan Brant, Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering. "He is a valuable contributor to our mission to teach and instruct our students on the topics that they will need to be successful engineers."
He is married to Jessica Perry, a graphic designer & adjunct faculty in the Art Department. They have a toddler named Seth, and like to take advantage of the great trails located at Happy Jack. Marvin plays trumpet in the Laramie Community Band, and participates in the music ministry at the Newman Center.

Form 1040
Form 1040, line 12, is used to report income from a business operated or a sole proprietor profession. Schedule C-EZ or Schedule C shows the income and expenses and the net amount is carried to Form 1040, line 12. An activity qualifies as a business if the primary purpose for engaging in the activity is for income or profit and the taxpayer is involved in the activity with continuity and regularity. For example, a sporadic activity or a hobby does not qualify as a business.
A hobby is an activity typically undertaken for pleasure during leisure time. To report income from an activity not for profit, see Form 1040 Instructions, line 21, and Publication 17, Other Income. This topic is out of scope. Refer any taxpayers with not-for-profit activity to a professional tax preparer.
Form 1040, line 12, is also used to report wages and expenses the taxpayer had as a statutory employee or certain income shown on Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income.
Some employers misclassify workers as independent contractors and report their earnings on Form 1099-MISC. Taxpayers who believe they have been misclassified should contact the IRS and ask for help. Until the determination has been made by IRS to reclassify them as employees, they should report the income on Schedule C-EZ/C.

Hudson -- Residents looking for activities to get the whole family out of the house, spruce up the community and spread a few smiles, are invited to the May 3 community service day.
The service day, from 10 a.m. from 1 p.m., is sponsored by the Hudson High School Community First youth board and Friends of the Park and made possible by a $2,500 grant from the Hudson Kiwanis.
"This is the first community-wide service day planned by the Hudson High School Community First youth board," according to Laura Gasbarro, co-director of Hudson Community First. "If it is successful, it will be an annual project."
Gasbarro and co-director Cheryl Rauch began formulating the idea for a service project after a meeting with the Parent Teacher Organization two years ago, according to Gasbarro.
"One of the mothers suggested that there were no volunteer opportunities for younger children and families," Gasbarro said. "Most things were geared to teens and older."
The directors partnered with the Kiwanis Club and will provide a service day T-shirt for volunteering, while supplies last.
As of April 25, more than 200 people had singed up to volunteer, Gasbarro said.
There are a variety of volunteer opportunities.
Five parks will be cleaned and weeded, and flowers will be planted at Veterans Way Park.
"The parks do this every year around Earth Day and will be supplying all the tools and instruction needed to do the job properly," Gasbarro added.
Volunteers will also pass out flowers at Hudson Elms and Laurel Lake's Crown Center and work on project at the Haven of Rest creating cards for hospitalized children. While at Veterans Way Park, volunteers will create a card center and supply all items
"I think it's wonderful that people in the Hudson community are thinking of their neighbors at Laurel Lake," said Kathy Marged, activities coordinator for The Crown Center, a skilled nursing and rehab center which serves residents of Laurel Lake Retirement Community and the greater Hudson area. "We know that our residents will appreciate the individualized attention from Community First service day volunteers."
There will also be a drop-off station for Clothing Crusade and Pawsibilities, Gasbarro said.
"Clothing Crusade is a nonprofit that collects gently used clothing and redistributes it to needy families in the community and beyond," according to Gasbarro. "And Pawsibilities is asking for pet-related items."
Anyone in Hudson can contribute to the collection efforts by dropping off items at Veterans Way Park.
The day will conclude with a Friends of the Park cookout for those who signed up to volunteer.
To sign up visit www.hudsoncommunityfirst.com and look for the breaking news tab at the bottom of the page.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/3/2013 (1584 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Kazwel Levandoski didn't grow up with a taste for coffee.
Now, he and his wife Kaylie can't get enough of java. They began roasting their own coffee in the basement of their Transcona home in recent months, and eventually began selling their fresh-roasted beans in January as K2 Coffee.
"I was not a coffee person at all," said Levandoski, who is also a sales manager for The ECO Edge, a company that sells chemical-free cloths and fruit snacks. "I thoroughly disliked coffee, actually, but I always liked the concept of coffee.
"We started buying coffee in the house here, and then we thought there had to be better coffee. We realized that we were paying between $15 and $20 a pound."
The Levandoskis then discovered they could roast their own beans with an air popper, and then began working with different beans and new flavours after soaking up as much information as they could by reading articles, watching tutorials on YouTube, and communicating with other hobbyists on chat forums.
After learning they enjoyed the process, they invested in a roaster to cut the roasting and cooling time to a little over 30 minutes, and after a little marketing, found it was worth purchasing a second machine.
"It was a hobby business, we said we would start with the main goal of funding our kids' private education, and it's turning into being something a little bit more than that," said Kazwel. "Most people that bought our coffee have never tried a gourmet coffee, period, and those that did didn't think much of it.
"But no one that's bought off us yet has bought fresh-roasted coffee. . . It comes off the roaster into the bag and pretty much right into your hand."
The Levandoskis currently purchase beans from a local importer, but are looking to connect directly with farmers, having visited one during a recent trip to Costa Rica. Kazwel said beans have different qualities from farm to farm.
"You start to notice the characteristics of the farm can really stand out," he said. "When we get new beans – we're hopefully getting a couple new beans this week – the first thing we do is roast them.
"We've got to roast for ourselves, try it out. (We) play with the different levels and roast times before we start selling it, because they're all different."
Those interested in ordering coffee can check out the site at http://www.facebook.com/k2coffeebeans or by calling 204-996-3286. The Levandoskis will appear at a local farmers market this summer, and will also appear at a couple of vendor shows across the province.
"We started in January just so we wouldn't have to keep repeating to all our family and friends," said Kaylie. "This is what we have, and if you'd like it, that's great."
Kazwel has dreams of opening a shop one day, noting there is a void of coffee shops in the neighbourhood to be filled.

i would think my recently upped dosage of anti-depressants would have kicked in by now, but no, they havent. im beginning to think my mom's suggestion of seeking a valium prescription was not just in jest.
i am incredibly sad tonight and really i shouldnt be. i should have recognized the situation i allowed to manifest. who was i kidding when i thought there was an actual future to it? only myself.
the easiest way for me to get over this is to just pretend it never happened. pretend that someone didnt care to hear how my day was going to go, how it went and to say good night.
even if that's all it was. i LET myself think it could be more. how silly am i?
like someone is going to change their entire life to be with me? doubtful.
i think more than anything that im mad at myself for thinking there was some unspoken agreement that he was going to be my boyfriend.

I met a woman yesterday who consults with people on how to eat SOUL food: seasonal, organic, local. Another one is a time management consultant who teaches people how to pack less into their days and get more done. It got me thinking about how many small business owners have adopted publicly held companies' values and made short term decisions the norm rather than the exception.
Here are some great short term decisions: Calling 911, cleaning up a spill in a store, calling someone into work when another calls in sick. There are plenty more but you get my drift.
Here are some terrible short term decisions: Cutting out advertising for the next month because sales were a little short, using personal money to cover payroll the second, third and fourth times, hiring a loser because if he could get your sister to marry him he must be the greatest salesman in the world.
When did we start - in the business sector - measuring ourselves against an illusory time frame? It started in the early 1980s I think.
In my own small manufacturing company back then we looked at our monthly sales figures, payroll, etc. We knew within a couple days of the end of the month if our balance sheet looked odd or our numbers from the year before were better or worse. But we didn't cut sales and marketing because that was a yearly plan put into place in January. We were somewhat seasonal so we tweaked it but we didn't spend any significant time deciding what to do "this month". We didn't lay people off at the drop of a hat. We weren't so obsessed with cutting fat until we reached muscle and started to bleed. Really, a thing of beauty. Why? We didn't have to report to anyone but ourselves.
This made for some very interesting discussions in one of my MBA classes. Even then people were obsessed about making bigger and bigger profits even if it meant enjoying it less. They could not even imagine that profits were not necessarily the end all and be all. (I never finished my MBA for that reason.)
Still, making sure profits were achieved was just a quarterly issue. We always knew who was publicly held either by cutting prices to get sales from us and requests to return product we had sold to others. We laughed at the absurdity of having to measure one's self in three month increments. On the other hand Gordon Gecko's declaration that "Greed is good" struck a nerve in the minds of people who saw Wall Street and all its machinations as the guide to wealth.
Then, at the end of the Eighties came the internet. My teenage daughter cannot fathom watching a war (the Persian Gulf conflict under Bush 41) on a computer screen at 2500 bps during the day at work. Or that people envied my ability to do that.
Time started to feel less scarce as computers became not just data collectors but interpreters as well. I didn't need three weeks to do all the analysis for the annual sales meeting. I needed one day to download all the data to spreadsheets. Then I spent a day looking them over and making recommendations. The third day I discussed them with other people in the company. By the next week the sales people had their territories information on large floppy disks they could look over before our meeting. It saved time for me, for the sales people and for the restaurant that held our dinner meeting.
Saving time became addictive. No need for a secretary to type my letters. I could do it myself on Word. No need for a secretary to take calls. I could do it myself with a cell phone (back then it was connected to my car but I digress). No need for a secretary to open the mail. Most of the orders came in and invoices went out by fax.
Accounting knowledge became far less important as software became more sophisticated. No need for dedicated accounts receiveable or accounts payable clerks. I saved time by looking at the books on my own terminal.
No need to stop for lunch. I could fax in my order and have it delivered. No need to call someone for a quote. I just looked them up on the computer.
I literally saved myself so much time I could not get everything done. I went to time management classes at 6:30 a.m. It was so burdensome, this saving time, that I threw MyTime against the wall. (Caveat: It was a great system just not for me.)
Websites became so numerous that I couldn't use my program to surf a new site every 30 seconds so I saved time by bookmarking the ones I liked. Audiobooks saved time because I could listen on my commute rather than sit down for an hour or so. Fast food drive throughs and salad bars at Kroger provided sustenance. Microwaves became reasonably priced and actual cooking was no longer absolutely necessary. Thank goodness because who had time for that?!
It spilled over into the way we thought about our companies. What about today? What about today? What about today? New business owners became as obsessed with short term goals as public companies were. What if your company had the exact product or service venture capitalists might support? They only cared about profits and how fast you could gear up to get them.
We forgot why we went into business. Or we went into it for the wrong reasons. We lost our entrepreneuralism.
This is a remarkable moment in our economic history. It has forced us to remember that short term gains are not sustainable in the long term. It has forced us to look at large publicly held companies and accept that we do not need to emulate their methods to be successful in our own. It has given us an opportunity to take time and figure out what is best for our selves and our businesses.
Let's decide to take quality over quantity whether it's decision making, eating or customers. By doing so we can change the world.

- Description
Original Item: Our resident antique gunsmith has been able to restore a few more, and now available for the first time in cleaned mechanically functioning condition*! The P-1853 .577 cal Percussion Rifle was also known as the legendary "Three Band Enfield". This extremely popular and rare model was the first rifle to become standard issue in the British Army.
These examples are complete and all original, each has the following features; 39" barrel with the signatures three steel bands, brass trigger guard, cleaning rod, functioning lock with nipple, adjustable ladder-back sight, and brass butt plate. This rifle changed military tactics with its capabilities; imported extensively for use in the U.S. Civil War. Overall condition good to very good. A very rare opportunity to own a significant piece of military history that greatly affected wars on three continents.
These weapons are from our 2003 acquisition of the Nepal Royal Arsenal. Date and origin of manufacture are unknown. We suspect they were manufactured in Nepal under British War Department supervision. Although it is possible that they were unmarked British Manufacture which the Nepalese then made their own.
The gun photographed is a typical example not the gun you will get, however, you will get one in similar or better condition.
*Note: Although, each rifle has been cleaned and resorted to mechanically functioning condition; it does not mean that IMA recommends these for shooting. In fact, anyone interested in shooting this 150+ year-old weapon should have his gun evaluated and prepared by a licensed gunsmith.

Last week I ordered one of the cleaned and complete P-1853 Enfields. It was delivered yesterday. The wood is in very good condition for a rifle this old it has only a few very minor dents and nicks nothing bad at all. The metal is in very good condition also only some very minor rust spots thst came off with a oily rag. The lock and main spring are very stong and work perfectly. I ordered this one Special Select that is the way to go. Thank You to everyone at IMA. Tom

I bought the uncleaned version with a ton of disdain for the Napal version. I could not be more wrong!! The gun was filthy as promised, but I love a challange. Mechanically the only issue was the sear, which came out in pieces when I pulled the lock plate away from the stock,not a problem as it was replaced through Dixie Gun Works in about five days. Bully for Dixie. I, believe it or not, pressure tested the barrel after a brutal cleaning, and to my surprise, it passed. I fired a patched ball, non conical, through the barrel on a stump test at 155 grains of black powder. The barrel survived and upon completion of the cleaning shot well at 75 yrds.

My rifle took a while to arrive, due to a delay while it was being "cleaned". It finally arrived well packed, but I was disappointed with it's condition. First, it was NOT complete. The rear sling swivel and screw were missing and the trigger guard was cracked. Secondly, the metal parts were clean, but the wood stock was still very dirty and split in several places, which I was able to repair after further cleaning. IMA sent the missing swivel, and after quite a bit of work, the now fully functional rifle looks great hanging on my wall, complete with sling. I didn't order "hand select" on this one, but overall I am satisfied, especially with IMA's customer service.

It came packed well and in short time. These has seen use and show it. There is some cracks in the stock and some pitting on the barrel. Overall, for the age and being used I have to say it's a great addition to my collection and would recommend it to anyone else. I would recommend going with hand picked too, it's the only way to go in my opinion. I have had all three of my last rifles done that way and like what I see.

A new report on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's inquiry into the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission indicates that Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) is targeting his political foes while letting Republicans and the banking industry off the hook.
The FCIC released its final report on "the causes of the current financial and economic crisis" in January; none of the Republican appointees signed on to its conclusions, which were harshly critical of the financial industry. According to Investor's Business Daily, the "primary focus" of the Oversight Committee's investigation into the commission is the "the cozy ties and potential conflicts of interest between key Democratic commission members and trial lawyers suing banks on behalf of state employee and union pension funds."
In targeting Democrats, unions, and trial lawyers, Issa's committee is doing the work of the big banks that the commission partially blamed for the financial crisis. Indeed, the allegations detailed by an anonymous committee staffer in the IBD article largely rehash those offered in a January 10, 2010, Wall Street Journal article headlined "Businesses Criticize Cast of Inquiry Panel."
Issa will apparently be ignoring the "cozy ties and potential conflicts of interest" between Republican commission members and the big banks. And there are some doozies.

The Secret of Success (3 of 7) by Jeff Schreve
This content is part of a series.The Secret of Success (3 of 7)
Series: Unleashing the Power of God
Pastor Jeff Schreve
1 Chronicles 14:8-9
Lord, help us today as we study Your Word, that You would speak to us. God, that this wouldn't just be another church service, but this would be a time of breakthrough and, Lord, that You'd do miraculous things in our midst. God, we want to experience Your glory. Lord, we want to know You. We want to obey You and walk with You. And, Lord, minister in each heart, in each life, and speak a special message just from Your lips to every issue that we face and that we're going through right now that people are struggling with. And, God, we ask for Your touch and Your power and Your anointing. We need it. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
Well, I got home from Guatemala Thursday at about 4:30, and was excited to take a shower with water pressure and to be able to brush my teeth and use regular water and all those different things when you go out of the country. And I had a great time visiting with my wife and my girls. And then, I was able to turn on the game and watch the San Antonio Spurs play the Detroit Pistons in game 7 of the NBA Championship. Now I was so excited that San Antonio won because I really like the Spurs. I just think they're a classy bunch of guys. I like Manu Ginobili, and I like Tim Duncan, and I really like Robert Ory.
I got to meet Robert Ory a few years ago, and I got to actually go over to his house. And he was thinking about buying a Hummer, and so a friend of mine that knew Robert called me and said, "Hey, Robert's thinking about buying a Hummer. And Lee Demontron at Demontron Buick is going to get him one. And so I want you to go with me, and you can drive the Hummer over to Robert's house. Do you have time to do that?" I said, "I'm pretty busy, but I could make some time." And so I got to hang out with Robert Ory. And we even took a picture together. That's me on the right. And that's in Robert's front yard. It pays to be a good b ...

a Note from Us Here at Hot Heels:
From day one (we built the first one in 1998) the goal has
always been to help people be better ropers-
That's helping people win money and train better horses- the
result is great word of mouth advertising.
The less we have to spend on advertising the more we can put
into the quality of the components and
keep experienced and dedicated employees busy.
Our machine is designed to make you throw the same loops that
will catch a steer, no pain, no gain.
It also designed with the capability to go slow, take off
the "Jen-Stick" and drive belt for a No Leg movement.
It won't be long until beginners can make fast runs and get
consistant using ALL the capabilities of the Hot Heels.

The enjoyment I get out of growing things can't be accounted for by the small amount of produce recovered from the effort; there must be other subconscious rewards that come with the green shoots in the garden.
Joy of friendship is high on the list of favorite things in the days passed. I wonder how people who aren't social can make it in a world that is becoming less personalized every day and how the technology generated conversations on phones can fill the gap in a meaningful way.
Family success means a lot when we think about the big picture of life. Health and prosperity of the new generation reassures us that maybe the future won't be as bad as some of the news men try to paint it. While we will miss the nave innocence of the grandchildren, the successes that come through their maturity will overshadow that loss.
So as we try to imagine the challenges that will surely come to us in the new year, we can take some comfort in remembering the messes we have survived in this last milestone. Things that we once wondered about being able to endure have passed into the distance and it seems we are no worse for the wear.
With the resources of thanksgiving for what we have, friends to help us along, and family successes to encourage us, there should be no hesitancy or reluctance in facing a new year. I'm hoping we can all anticipate a peaceful, harmonious, season of plenty in 2012. Happy New Year!

The collections will launch on the 360 first, with Chaos Pack set to hit Live on August 9 and Final Assault on September 6. Each pack is detailed below, but a quick takeaway is that Chaos Pack focuses on missions, with the new Chaos Mode for Special Ops, four new Special Ops Missions, and three new Face Off maps, while the multiplayer-centric Final Assault will include five new multiplayer maps.

Locales include a vacation spot on the beach and a devastated mountainside in the Face Off maps Getaway and Sanctuary, while Oasis hosts players in a retrofitted ancient stone fortress and Iron Clad features a playable Abrams-class tank.

Call of Duty Elite's new content drop, Overwatch, launches on Live
Call of Duty Elite's third Content Drop for Season one is now available for Live Gold members. The drop includes the Overwatch map, a two-level construction site set atop a New York City skyscraper. Teams will have to battle it out over a central bridge and side routes, all while trying to avoid the 70-story drop to the streets below.
Call of Duty Elite's latest Content Drop, Overwatch, detailed
Call of Duty Elite's third Content Drop has been announced for February 21. Live gamers will be able to download Overwatch, a map set amid a construction site situated on top of a skyscraper in New York. The site's two levels feature a near-symmetrical layout, with a central bridge enticing players with a head-on brawl and side routes for flanking attacks. The site is also apparently run by a miser as there are no safety barriers, which means that combatants can have a long and messy 70-story fall if they aren't careful.
Call of Duty Elite begins first Content Season on Live
The first Content Season for Call of Duty Elite has officially kicked off with the release of two new multiplayer maps, Liberation and Piazza. The maps are the first two of at least 20 DLC content drops that will be launching over the next nine months during season one.

Elite members playing on other platforms will be able to download the maps "at a later time."

The Soapbox: No, Nickelodeon, Mothers Do Not Need Our Own TV Channel
I'm a TV junkie. Once my kid finally falls asleep, you'll find me splayed out on the couch, flipping through the over 800 channels we apparently subscribe to. And my tastes run rampant: I'm just as happy sitting through an hour of "Alphas" on the Syfy channel as I am watching Barry's antics on "Storage Wars" or crossing my fingers for a "Charmed" marathon on TNT. I DVR "30 Rock" to watch each week as well as the latest episode of "Top Chef." Truly, there is very little I won't watch.
Oh, except Nickelodeon's new channel for moms, NickMom. You probably won't find me watching that anytime soon, despite being a mom. On October 1st, NickJr — a channel originally created to provide age-appropriate programming for preschool children — began airing a block of nighttime programming "just for moms." When I heard the news, I started wondering what I, a self-professed TV fiend and mom, was lacking from my already jam-packed television watching schedule.
Apparently what I was missing was this:
NickMom's website promises to bring the funny. In fact, it goes as far as to say that the shows they produce are "motherfunny." (Heh. See what they did there?) I would say this is actually not-really-funny stuff. There are only so many mom and kid-centric jokes I can laugh at before it starts becoming stale and slightly uncomfortable.
And then there's this:
Nothing annoys me more than the "moms hate sex" jokes. Which is it? Are we all just tired, frigid housewives? Or hot and horny ones who can't get enough naughty"books?
Some of the stuff is so bad that it's birthed a website dedicated to calling out everything that is wrong with NickMom. Cancel NickMom launched last week and has started two different petitions as well as filed a formal complaint with the FCC to try and remove NickMom programming from the NickJr channel.
Many of the complaints coming from Cancel NickMom have to do with the fact that NickMom is airing content that is inappropriate for children on a channel that was created for young children. I've spent a bunch of time on NickMom's site, and to be honest, I'm not as concerned with the fact that kids might watch the programming and be exposed to awful jokes and words like "penis" or "bitch." What's more problematic for me is the assumption that mothers need or even want special programming, and what that says about how society views mothers.
The NickMom website and TV programs somehow manage to simultaneously continue to push the divide between women (promoting themselves as the "bad mommy" network — ugh) while putting down and minimizing fathers. Their Facebook page is rife with eyeroll-inducing cliches that pain me as much as the term "mommy porn" does. (It should be noted that the pictures that ragged on fathers has since been taken down — perhaps evidence that even NickMom knows that they're swimming in shallow waters.)
As a mom, I already have to deal with enough crap from the government (mandatory maternity leave anyone?), advertisers (when's the last time you saw an ad for cleaning supplies or yogurt aimed at a man?), and a society that views women with children as a mother first, and person second — something men very rarely have to contend with.
So when it comes to television, I guess I do have my limits: I do not want a channel that not only purports to be specifically for me, but that does so in a way that simply trades on tired stereotypes.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hello,I would love to help I just have a few additional questions.Each answer is typed individually so please allow me a few minutes after your reply.
Has he had any changes in his diet?
Is his stomach larger then normal?
Any chance he got into something toxic?
Are his gums nice and pink
Thank you for the additional information.
Eating grassing and heaving indicates nausea. What can cause nausea well,
*eating a different food,
* eating something they should not that causes a blockage in the digestive tract
* Eating something toxic
* Intestinal parasites
* Bacterial infection in the digestive tract.
* Problems with the liver or kidneys
These are the most common causes but not meant to be a complete list
If he is acting normal other then the heaving you can try to treat this at home. Pepcid AC at a dose of 10mgs per 40lbs of body weight every 12 hours.This will help with the nausea
I would offer a bland diet today of boiled chicken and rice in small meals.If he refuses the bland diet, continues to heave or vomits, is not passing stool is having diarrhea or declines in any way I would get him in to see the vet today for some tests since we are unsure if he may have gotten into something toxic
I hope he does ok, and this is just a little stomach upset. Please reply back if you have additional questions or concerns

3 Medieval Helms ~by Dierdriana
Maureen W. Clifton(see more by this artist)
My Medieval Helms have been a Popular View on Medieval Art Misty Isles. A Print of 'Three Medieval Helms' is available for SALE in one size only: 5" H x 7" W in black & white on matte white paper.
This item can be seen in a Set of Cards under another listing herein. Please look for narratives about these helms in other views on Medieval Art Misty Isles.
I have loved to draw helms since I first discovered that I could draw them!
I think they are so neat with their many designs & styles from so many eras & cultures. I seem to be attracted to more central European, Norse & Celtic styles.
I have drawn a number of helms over the last 3 decades. The drawing combines 3 different styles & two eras, left to right: drawn 1994 an Armet Plumed Helm – Circa 1475 AD, drawn 1994 a Danish Helm – Circa 900 AD, = & drawn 1985 a Armet Plumed Jousting Helm – Circa 1475 AD. I will list these under British for lack of another destination.

Experiences of the phenomenon of Internet use for information sharing on construction projects and skills set identification for effective project participation
Magub, Andrew Timothy (2006) Experiences of the phenomenon of Internet use for information sharing on construction projects and skills set identification for effective project participation. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
|Andrew Magub Thesis (PDF 2MB)
The use of Information Technology in construction is below best practice when compared to other industries. The construction industry is now, however, on the verge of widespread acceptance of internet technology and the communications benefits this can bring. Construction collaboration technology, where project teams use the internet as an interface for project communications, have emerged as a potentially valuable tool. Little research has been focused in this area, particularly on how this phenomenon is being experienced. The aim of this research is to develop a better understanding of the way people experience the use of the internet for information sharing on construction projects and the preliminary identification of the skills set (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities - KSAs) required for industry members to effectively participate.
Phenomenography was selected as an appropriate research methodology to provide an empirical, representative and descriptive research approach and to provide a qualitative based study in a field dominated by quantitative studies. This is a 'second-order approach' which focuses on the experiences of the participants as described by them. A pilot and three major case studies were selected to identify research participants for interviews. A total of nineteen interviews were conducted and transcribed during 2003 in Australia, the United States of America and the United Kingdom, which formed the research data.
A phenomenographic analysis was performed on the research data revealing seven 'categories of description' which describe the limited number of qualitatively different ways that the phenomenon is being experienced. A relationship exists between the different categories which can be structured in a logical framework called the outcome space. The preliminary identification of the skills set is then proposed from the research data and the phenomenographic outcomes to provide construction project participants and the industry a first pass on what Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs) may be required for effective participation.

Emerging Issues in National and International Security (EMININT 2007) *CLE*
March 19
8:00 a.m. - 5:15 p.m.
Now in its third year, this symposium addresses the pressing issues of the day in the fields of national and international security. This year, the conference will discuss: the interplay of domestic surveillance and the war on terror; the issues raised by conducting national security trials under constant media scrutiny; a comparison of domestic security practices among foreign countries; and the sea changes shaping the our nation's defense lobbying environment. As in previous years, EMININT 2007 will include speakers at the apex of their respective fields. They are drawn from three continents and across the United States, and include academic experts, senior U.S. government policymakers, and international legal authorities and media experts. These experts have written books, made and interpreted laws and regulations, and reported on national security's ever-changing realities. This daylong symposium offers powerful insight from extraordinary experts, and has much to offer anyone with an interest in national security.

Target: U.S. Congress
Goal: To bring about reform in the current prison system.
While there is public recognition that the mass incarceration plaguing the United States since the end of the 1970's is a social problem that needs grappling with, politicians with the power to change the prison system continue to act on misguided beliefs and, covertly, on a platform of incarceration as social control. The United States is the country with the most of its population in prison – 750 people out of every 100,000 are in jail. The only country to come close to this number is Russia who jails 628 people per every 100,000. The United States is also the only country to have jailed 60% of its minority population, the main target being African American males. One of the primary reasons resulting in the disproportionate number of minorities jailed is the "War on Drugs," which was waged in an era when illegal drug usage was on the decline. The "War on Drugs" continues to heavily impact minority populations despite reports that find rates of illegal drug usage to be similar across races, with a slightly higher rate found amongst the majority population. The United States is currently responsible for imprisoning more African American men than were imprisoned in South Africa during the end of apartheid. Having established these facts, is it surprising to know that 3 out of every 4 African American men in the United States can either expect to be imprisoned, were imprisoned, or are currently on some phase of penal supervision? This doesn't take into account the number of Hispanic men which, although lower than that of African Americans, is still much higher than those imprisoned in the majority population. The current prison system is flawed, unfair and has proven to be ineffective – instead of increasing public safety, it locks "criminals" into an endless cycle of crime and discrimination.
The current prison system is flawed, discriminatory against minorities, and is costly to keep in place. When discussing the cost of maintaining the current prison system and population, it should be noted that half the number of those incarcerated in state prisons are for nonviolent offenses and that 20% of the population in state prisons are there for minor drug offenses. The federal prison percentages are higher. Despite the number of nonviolent offenses, the sentences given are lengthy. In order to support the 2.2 million Americans behind bars, the country pays $60 billion a year. In 2001, it was reported that $22, 632 was spent per inmate per year. It is safe to assume that the cost per inmate per year is much higher in 2011. The American government spends more money to maintain the prison system than it does on education.
The idea of democracy fails when the government continues to jail more of its population than repressive regimes around the world do. The idea of equality fails when we look at the prison population and note that 60% of minorities in the United States are targeted and, consequently, jailed. The idea of justice fails when those accused do not have the resources to pay legal fees and thus have no other choice but to plead guilty. The United States cannot continue to function if a percentage of the population continues to be imprisoned and if the percentage who are not imprisoned continue to pay the exorbitant costs needed in order to maintain a bloated prison system.
Dear U.S. Congress,
For every 100,000 Americans, 750 are in prison. The rate of people imprisoned surpasses that of countries such as Russia, Germany, Iran, etc. Of the general population, 60% of minorities are jailed. This is largely due to the "War on Drugs," which continues to target minorities despite studies that show the rate of illegal drug usage to be the same across all races, if not slightly higher in the majority race. The American government is responsible for imprisoning more African American males than were imprisoned in South Africa during the end of apartheid. Aside from being racially discriminatory, the prison system is also ineffective and costly.
Instead of increasing public safety, which is the rationale used when explaining mass incarceration in the United States, prisons only perpetuate a cycle of crime and discrimination. When released, many prisoners find that the stigma of being a "criminal" locks them out of many economic and social opportunities. With few to little opportunities to survive on, these victims are left with no other choice but to go back to jail. Aside from the legal discrimination that occurs, another reason to abolish the prison system would be to redirect the exorbitant amount of money used to maintain the system into positive social institutions.
The reliance on prisons to curb crime is a misguided belief that only serves to segment the minority population and limit the already limited amount of opportunities available for people of color. The prison system also takes funds away from institutions that are in desperate need of monetary aid and reform. Rather than continue to spend over $20,000 a year per inmate, money should be redirected to improving the education system and providing opportunities for youth of all races. I urge you to change the current system to reflect the values of equality, justice, and democracy.

Practice Area: Elder law
Outcome: Judge granted summary judgment in favor of Lindgrens, finding lawsuit against Lindgrens pre-empted by federal Medicaid law.
Description: Douglas County sued adult children (Lindgrens) for recovery of Medical Assistance (Medicaid) benefits paid by county for mother's nursing home care after county granted hardship waiver to mother. Lindgrens argued federal Medicaid law pre-empts county/state's ability to sue them for recovery of Medicaid benefits and that state law permitting law suit against the beneficiary of a gift from a medical assistance recipient who later was granted a hardship waiver was pre-empted by federal law. This appears to be the first such case in Minnesota brought under the Minnesota cause of action statute.

How to Build a Great Corporate Culture
Having a great corporate culture can be a differentiator for small businesses when it comes to attracting and retaining spectacular employees. But awesome environments don't just happen — nor can they be forced. So how do you build one that entices job seekers and keeps employees engaged? Here are some tips for creating a corporate culture that brings out the best in your small business team.
Define your company
A strong corporate culture starts with defining your brand. A small business that knows what it wants to be has an easier time finding employees who can support that mission. Identify your core values, and include those ideals in everything you do. Whether you're out to deliver exceptional customer service or shake up your industry through innovation, everyone on your team should know the company's top priorities. Develop a mantra – a succinct reminder of your intentions – as a point of reference and pride (as in Apple's "Think Different"). And draw your staff into your vision even further by sharing with them your dreams for the company's future.
Teams thrive when each member feels valued and heard. Give your small business employees plenty of opportunities to voice opinions and engage in problem solving. Likewise, provide thoughtful, timely feedback to create a can-do, results-oriented environment. And since transparency can limit gossip and foster trust, keep everyone as up-to-date on issues as possible.
Lead by example
Simply put, practice what you preach. Who is going to believe you truly prize an all-hands-on-deck mentality if you're nowhere to be found during crunch time? Leaders set the tone for corporate culture, so be certain you're sending the right message.
Hire wisely
Make attitude as important to your corporate culture as aptitude when hiring at your small business. The people on your limited-size staff depend heavily on one another, so a poor match could quickly and critically impact the entire culture. Consider adopting a hiring process in which current team members meet with potential hires and offer their input before you make a final decision.
Make fun and appreciation a habit
Building a small business often requires putting in substantial hours, working outside of one's comfort zone, and rising up to tackle unexpected challenges. Consistently acknowledging your team's contributions through words and actions demonstrates your awareness of all they do. A thank-you note to someone who goes above and beyond or a surprise staff luncheon after meeting an important goal builds positive feelings. Likewise, encourage people to interact with one another in enjoyable ways, such as group outings, holiday or birthday celebrations, and fun contests. With a small staff, you have the advantage of being able to target your efforts — they'll be happy to let you know if a ping-pong table or a cappuccino station is a worthy workplace addition. While no two corporate cultures will be exactly the same, the best ones share a common objective – being a place where employees genuinely want to work.

Jerusalem (Sep. 6)
Only one Jew, Meyer Akkad, ventured to pray at the Wailing Wall on Thursday. He went to the Jewish place of worship accompanied by two policemen.
Arabs who live in the neighborhood of the Wall displayed irritation at the lone worshipper, but he was unmolested.
It is doubtful whether the customary Sabbath eve service will be held this Friday afternoon, owing to inadequate protection at the Wall.
In the meantime, eye-witnesses are reporting continued construction and the addition of six upper layer of stone to the right of the Wall, similar to those previously laid on the left side. The new layers of stone will facilitate the approach from the Mosque of Omar to the Wall.

So here's what I'd like a ruling on. Will the coming e-book revolution be a Good Thing for authors?
In other words, I don't know that the music industry would necessarily, on the whole, think that mp3s have been, overall, a Good Thing, given the losses to piracy. Sure, there were some forced errors along the way, some artists may have taken advantage of the Internet and others think things are jolly, but there's been quite a lot of angst along the way.
So as we enter an era where e-books become more and more popular (and e-book sales are up 35.7% on the year), is the coming era going to be good for authors?
Pros: lots of choice, cheaper prices=more books bought?, portability, opening up of marketplace, ease of access
Cons: piracy, downward pressure on prices, possible consolidation of marketplace, choice confusion.
So Can I Get a Ruling? E-books are coming, whether we like them are not. On the whole... Good thing? Bad Thing?

Proposal: Physical Dueling
Times out, 1-9—Rodney.
Adminned at 19 Oct 2008 14:33:49 UTC
If the Proposal titled "Back to the Basics" failed, this Proposal does nothing.
Create a new dynastic rule titled "Physical Dueling" with the following text:
As a weekly action, a Clansman may challenge another Clansman to a Physical Duel by posting the challenge to Blognomic. In it, the challenger must note the name of the challenged Clansman, and the name of a third Clansman, who will coordinate the Duel. All clansmen involved must accept for the duel to start. When the duel starts, the Challenger and the Challenged must both pick one of their physical stats and PM their choice to the coordinator within 24 hours of the start of the duel. Once the coordinator recieves the choices, they must post them as a comment in the post the Duel is taking place in. In a Physical Duel, Strength beats Skill, Skill beats Reflex, and Reflex beats Strength. Whichever clansman beats the other clansman wins, ending the duel. If both clansmen choose the same stat, the clansman with the higher number in that stat wins the duel, and the duel ends.. If there is a tie in that stage, the duel ends with no winner.
This might need a bit of work, but it is a start.

What did she want with the philter in her hand—to whom was it applicable?
Was I still under the influence of the philter poured into the wine?
He found her lying by the wayside; he gathered into the casket what remained of the philter, and awoke his beloved.
But as we were saying just now, no philter will deliver you of Choiseul.
I am now making a philter to arouse love; it is not very difficult to make, for all I need is tonics, alcohol and stimulants.
It is philter who is wilful and reluctant, not Venus who is unkind.
The way she tripped across the floorWas better than a philter.
"And she has not forgotten," said philter, with a tragic air.
There is a dish for you, a philter wherewith to woo the appetite!

Vitamin Grillo
Attention. This is a promotional sales announcement. An advertising message. Vitamin G is now for sale. My shows of the past 4 years and a book with the user guide and the weekly editorials. A Christmas gift for anyone together with a packet of Malox for heartburn from multiple vision
The blog and the activities carried out for the Movement, from the legal expenses to the national meetings like that of 4 October and 8 March, are in part financed by the blog and if necessary, by me. The two main enemies, thats how they are referred to, of democracy in Italy are the parties and the information media. Both paid by you, with taxes. A billion a year to the publishers. Berlusconi is paying just one per cent of the turnover for the TV concessions. The parties are overflowing with money, with seats, with bribes. They are occupying the RAI.
Its like fighting with a hand tied behind your back, but anyway we have been judged to have won loads of rounds and the match is still going on. The blog is providing information and it is selling, to those who want it, alternative content to the regimes truth. Often at a price that you choose. Or at times with a donation, as for "Terra reloaded" to the schools that ask for it. And it will continue to do that.
Vitamin G
information about Italian happenings over the last four years without preemptive censorship with advice about surviving the next four years.
Main ingredients:
psycho-dwarf or wild bathrobe or tar head (your choice) , geronzi with a scratching of parmalat, topo gigio veltroni with juvenile dementia (but also infantile; but also neonatal), morpheus napolitano with his pen in his hand, mavalà ghedini of the TV cross-examination foaming at the mouth, superciuk bondi with an erect tongue, vomit (fascist black) of witch gasparri, black box of Andreotti (a classic), fazio with fiorani from the back, tronchetto the unhappy with tavaroli the incorporated spy,
Therapeutic indications:
Treatment of all the conditions characterized by an insufficient hydration of democracy. Disinfecting action of the oral cavity of regime journalists already convicted of multiple continual swallowing. Protective action against infections that carry the conflict of interests. Dermatomycosis sustained from gasparriciti, mastelliceti and stronzi patogeni parlamentari. Active against psiconanococcus aerus and napolitano lodo minutissimus Used against the dissolving of wax in the ears and on the skin. In the medical treatment of cleaning out faecal bacteria including, but not exclusively, Feltri, Belpietro, Scalfari, Giordano. Free radical active against minchiolinus pyogenes and vespacoccus.
Keep the medicine out of reach of persons who have been subject to continual TV treatment of RAI and Mediaset programmes. The sudden return to reality could lead to definitive madness.
|Vitamin G is now for sale. It is a collection of the DVDs of the shows of the past 4 years and a book with the user guide and the weekly editorials.

Posted by Fr. Thomas Fitzpatrick, Rector of St. Joseph Cathedral
The blame game never works. Retribution against an opponent on the playing field is the act the referee always seems to notice, not the instigation. Trying to shift responsibility onto bosses or co-workers for less-than-optimal performance or results never looks good and is a weak defense. As we see in the Gospel today, it doesn't work with Jesus either.
When the servant was called to account for his fearful inaction he decided his best defense was not true honesty or self-examination, it was to accuse his Master for somehow forcing him to bury his talent. Was the Master as terribly demanding as the servant accused him of being? We can reasonably assume by the manner in which he doled out his possessions that the Master was prudent with his treasure and just in dealing with his servants. All three accepted their Master's generosity. Unfortunately for the third servant, he just didn't get it…the Master wasn't just giving him a task, he investing in the servant; and that servant took the easy way out. He did nothing and then blamed the Master for his deficiencies.
The blame game may be a popular strategy, but that doesn't mean it works well. True intellectual and spiritual maturity allows us to see our own culpability and shortcomings so that we can honestly assess ourselves and dissect the chain of events like the one we experience in today's Gospel. The responsibility of this episode was not due solely to the fact that the Master was a demanding man as the servant tried to contend. His excuses were lame.
Are our excuses lame? It is like the time the man enters the Confessional to confess his sins to the old Monsignor. He begins, "Bless me Father, for I have sinned. My wife……"
As we continue through the month of November praying for the souls in Purgatory, we also remain focused on the Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell. A good prayer point for reflection is an assessment on how much and how often we employ the blame-game to exonerate our own actions or inaction in order to shift responsibility to others. Remember the words of St. Augustine. "The more we pay attention to the sins of others, the less attention we pay to our own." Our spiritual life and the custody of our souls is the most important 'talent' the Lord has entrusted to us. Careful reflection upon our actions and desires in the daily situations of our lives is key to our growth, maturity and holiness. We will serve God and ourselves if we use this time well.

Thai fare attempts to balance the five fundamental flavors: bitter, sour, sweet, salty, and victory. Score a win for your mouth with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $16 for $30 worth of Thai food and drinks for two or more
- $30 for $60 worth of Thai food and drinks for four or more
The menu includes sea scallop curry ($13), pad woon sen with tofu ($10), sesame chicken ($13), and beef salad with lemongrass and spicy thai dressing ($12). The menu also includes a variety of vegetarian and gluten-free dishes.
The King and I
The chefs at The King and I make only one request of their patrons: please be patient. Because the kitchen's repertoire includes a dizzying array of menu items, the skilled chefs only prepare a dish once it has been ordered. Diners can choose one of the familiar Thai dishes, including pad see ew with egg and broccoli and jasmine fried rice with cashews, pineapple, and a choice of meat. For more adventure, diners can try one of the house specialties, which, like a Martian ice-cream truck, introduce more exotic flavors: the pud phet ta lay finds shrimp, squid, and sea scallops stir-fried with green beans and bamboo shoots, and the pla rad prig ignites a fried whole fish with spicy chili basil sauce.
