Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/3/2013 (1634 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Teams with bad power plays can make the playoffs, but it's difficult -- even rare. That truth is self-evident, so the Winnipeg Jets' lack of success with the man advantage is beginning to grate on a few nerves.
"We're going into Florida to win all the games and score 45,000 power-play goals," said head coach Claude Noel, as he stepped off the podium to end his post-game media conference after Saturday's 3-0 home loss to the Washington Capitals. Noel was trying to be funny, but in most jokes there's a grain of truth, and his frustration was obvious.
The Jets were 0-for-3 against the Caps and have scored one power-play goal in their last 12 games -- a 1-for-32 run with the man advantage. They sit 25th in the league, having scored 10 power-play goals on 70 chances -- a 14.3 per cent clip.
"There are other parts of our game that have allowed us to win, but what will happen is you won't be able to get away with it if you don't get it going. That's clear. It's clear you are going to have to start producing because it's part of your offensive game," said Noel. "I don't know exactly what the stat is, but when you win the power play game within the game, but something like 80 per cent of the time you win the games. It's very real."
Veteran Olli Jokinen said the power play was a factor in Saturday's defeat.
"No, this can't go on forever. You see the results (Saturday). We have a power play when the game was 1-0 and it was a chance for us to get back in it, and we didn't. Power play and special teams battles are crucial. If you're able to win those battles, you have a chance to win the game," said Jokinen.
The coach didn't even wait for a question on the power play before addressing it after the loss.
"The power play will probably be a topic because you guys (the media) can't think past the stats," opened Noel. "I thought the power play was better than it has been. We had 11 shots and some chances. But still not enough net presence in front."
When pressed Noel admitted the power play would have to begin producing, or the Jets would feel a pinch.
"It is what it is, but you have to look at different things on the power play. I thought (Saturday) it was better than it has been in the past.
"The numbers aren't great and we've been winning in spite of it," said Noel. "We knew this could happen. It has to come around and we know that too. It's not like we're not trying. We don't practise, but neither do other teams. Let's put it this way, we're well aware of it and we're trying to get it changed. You hate to put such a big focus on it."
Noel said lack of power play success can infect a team in a variety of ways.
"It effects a lot of different things. The morale, the momentum. And the players that are on the power play take it personally. They want to succeed," said Noel.
The silver lining is the Jets penalty killing unit, among the worst in the league for the entire season, has been much better of late. In fact, Winnipeg's penalty killing has been perfect for four games and six of the last seven.
So the Jets special teams, despite what the statistics say, aren't entirely a mess.
"We've been working really hard on the PK and that's been a plus for us on this last little stretch," said defenceman Zach Bogosian. "Now we need to get the power play to follow."
Certainly the Jets can continue to struggle on the power play and still win games. Like Noel said, they've done it so far.
But for a bubble team such as the Jets, the power play could be the difference between reaching the post-season or falling short. There's no arguing a little rise in production would ease the pressure beginning to build around the Jets.
Just ask the coach.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/3/2013 (1606 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I'm a well-educated person, and my boyfriend only has Grade 11. I think he's even lying about that. We were intensely attracted to one another physically, and didn't miss the conversations we never had. Now the sexual heat has started to settle down, I'm shocked at his ignorance. He doesn't watch TV news or read the newspapers and immediately switches the radio in the car to music if news comes on. He shows shock on his face when people talk about something big that has happened in the city. Worst of all, friends have started to notice he is kind of a dumb-dumb. Actually he has basic intelligence, just no education, and seemingly no curiosity about the world. I hate to sound like this, but I've never had great sex like this before, especially with a guy who loves me. I don't want to give it up! Is it leading him on to keep seeing him for sex? I can't tell him why I'm dumping him, or he'd feel humiliated. Help! -- Ashamed to be Using Him, West End
Dear Ashamed: You need to set this man free as gently as you can. He's done nothing wrong and is innocently in love with you. Be happy for the gifts he has given you -- like finding out what great sex is like with a man who loves you. Just tell him that you're not feeling the love you should be feeling, and you're sorry but it's time to go. He can't argue with your lack of feelings. If he really pushes for a reason, and he may, tell him truthfully you need a man who's more educated. Those words will be hurtful, so don't elaborate. He may say. "Oh, so you think I'm dumb?" You can honestly say, "No I don't, but I think you need an education and a bigger interest in what's going on in the world."
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I spent some time in jail when I was in my early 20s for a drug offence and I have never told my wife. Off the top, she said she was a homebody and she never wanted to travel because of fear of flying. Yay! I quickly said I had the same problem. Recently she has overcome that fear, and gone travelling with a girlfriend to Mexico this winter. I said I couldn't leave because of my work and fear of flight. The truth is I don't think I can go to the United States or maybe even fly over it. I don't want her to know her husband is a former jailbird. What do you suggest? -- Rock and a Hard Place, North End
Dear Rock: Tell your wife the truth. She may already know. Your going to jail as a young man would be known by quite a few people and may have slipped out at some family gathering. It's amazing how many secrets couples think they are keeping from each other. Before telling her, call Lucy Perillo at Pardon Services Winnipeg (204-453-0099) to find out your exact situation and what can be done for you. Even if you find the States are not open to you, you'll be able to travel without trouble to other places. Take your wife, if she's willing. And, if she wants to go with her girlfriends to a place you can't go, continue to be supportive of that.
Questions or comments? Please email email@example.com or send letters c/o Miss Lonelyhearts, 1355 Mountain Ave. Winnipeg R2X 3B6

Arthur is both a series of picture books written and illustrated by Marc Brown and a children's animated television series produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment, aired on PBSKids in the United States and TVOKids in Canada. The programme focuses on the life-learning adventures of eight year old Arthur Read, his family and circle of friends in the fictional Elwood City while aiming to teach viewers about reading and pro-social lessons. The programme is known for its use of celebrity guest voices as well as its popularity outside its targeted demographic and carries the distinctions of being both the longest running children's animated series in the United States and second longest running animated series behind only The Simpsons.[1]
Arthur has parodied the Harry Potter series using the character "Henry Skreever." The character was first featured in a story titled "Prunella's Special Edition" in which the character Prunella ordered a special edition of Henry Skreever and the Cabbage of Mayhem, but received a Braille copy instead. The events of the story led to her meeting a new character named Marina, who was blind. The second story, "Prunella Sees the Light," focused on a movie release titled Henry Skreever and the Brick of Wonders. In the final parody "Prunella Deegan and the Disappointing Ending," Prunella and Marina raced to finish the final instalment in the series The Knights of the Bouillabaisse.
Many terms from the Harry Potter franchise are parodied, such as a "Mangling Maple" in place of the Whomping Willow, and students at "Pigblisters" ride flying carpets, a proscribed Muggle artefact in most countries in the Potter franchise.[2]

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/8/2013 (1475 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If this franchise is going to make fundamental changes to the organization, in the hopes of salvaging the season, it has to do so now.
Going into the bye week, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have 11 days until their next game, the longest break they will have this season.
It's obvious from all the "on the cusp of winning" talk the coaches don't think any shakedown should take place, and you can be sure the players don't want to be burdened with concerns over unscheduled phone calls from the office during their time off.
Yet at the one-third mark of the season, this is the most convenient stanza to either swap out a player or change a member of the coaching staff or front office. The team is tied for last in the CFL at 1-5, and the offence has yet to put together four quarters of productivity, regardless of which QB has been at the helm. Either the franchise makes a visible effort to salvage the season by shaking up the hierarchy in some way, shape, or form, or they convey the message that they are content to stand pat.
For being on the cusp of winning, and almost getting there, is not what counts in this business. Professional football is judged off of productivity, and having a record that matches the 2012 squad at this junction, is not productive or a sign of progress.
Though I'm sure Justin Goltz wasn't intentionally indicting his offensive co-ordinator when I asked him on the post-game show what kind of adjustments they made at half time, his answer to me was in large part what is fundamentally wrong with this offence. The playbook appears to be as thin as the hairline of a long-term PED user.
The exact words can be found in the audio file on CJOB, but Goltz's response to this inquiry was something along the lines of, "We didn't change too much at the half because we were happy with the way things were going." If this is not an operational red flag, I don't know what is.
As someone who has seen defensive adjustments for a decade and a half, I can assure you the first thing every defence does at the break is to figure out how to take away what worked against them in the first half.
Not only do the best defensive co-ordinators recognize vulnerabilities offences showed during the first two quarters, and implement strategies to attack them, but they explain to you how to counteract everything that has been successful. An offence that does not dramatically shift their approach to what they are doing for the second half, is either so good at it they cannot be stopped, or they are not in touch with how the game evolves over the course of four quarters.
I was not in the locker-room at the half, I was not privy to the conversations and Goltz may have underscored (no pun intended) the amount this offence did try to change for the third quarter. Yet, the facts are four points were scored in the second half, the approach and scheme did not appear visibly different, no defensive vulnerabilities were exposed or exploited, and this isn't exactly the first time we've seen this offence hit the wall after limited success. In fact, Goltz told the Free Press after the game, "Nothing came easy in the second half for us. They (the Lions defence) did a good job stepping up their game." That is exactly what happens when a defence makes adjustments to what you're doing and you don't come at them with anything remarkably different.
If this is not evidence of a disconnect in the management of a football game, I have no further evidence to present. Offensive co-ordinator Gary Crowton may turn this ship around and be as productive as he was in the dying moments of last season, but I don't think this team can wait any longer, as 6-12 is a record that needs not be matched.
The only question that remains at this stanza, is what sort of message does this franchise want to send to the fans? Isn't 1-5 patient enough? They needed far less encouragement and provocation to shake things up in Montreal.

POLICE descended on a bank in Wallisdown yesterday after an armed robbery.
The incident happened at around 10am and the scene at Barclays Bank in Bryant Road was sealed off.
Witnesses said they thought that the man was armed, although police say that no weapon was seen.
Martyn Goodchild, who lives nearby, was walking his dog when he saw the commotion.
He said: "As I was walking past I was chatting to someone who said it had just happened.
"It's tucked away and there are alleyways there and the heathland."
Louise Davis, of nearby Mark Anthony Kitchens and Bathrooms, said: "The road was closed off and there were police everywhere with sniffer dogs.
"A police officer came in and asked if I had seen anything because they think the robber escaped down an alleyway between the bank and Alder Road."
One man, who asked not to be named, told the Daily Echo at the scene: "I was at the cashpoint when I saw a guy come out of the side road, walking out of there.
"When I got into my car he got into a green Peugeot estate, a 306 or 307.
"He just walked out and round into the bank and walked back again.
"He was limping, he had blue tape over his face. He looked like he'd had a nose job; you couldn't see his nose and you could barely see his eyes.
"When he got in the car they went off around the corner and there was a lot of pink smoke – the dye they put in the money bags had gone off in the car."
In details released late this afternoon, police said a man entered the bank, demanding money.
Staff handed cash over and he left and was seen getting into a metallic light green-coloured Peugeot estate, which was parked on Bryant Road with another person inside.
It drove off towards Mossley Road.
A security pack from the bank containing red dye is believed to have discharged in the vehicle, which would have covered the occupants and the inside of the vehicle.
Armed officers were sent to the scene and the police helicopter was brought in for the search, but nobody has been arrested so far.
Police said that nobody was hurt and no weapon was seen.
The offender is described as a white man, approximately five feet ten inches tall, wearing blue tape or a bandana to disguise his face.
He was wearing a light blue tracksuit top, black Nike tracksuit bottoms which had a white Nike tick on the left and white trainers. He was also wearing a brown baseball cap which had a fawn coloured peak and white writing on it.
DS Dave Colomb, of Bournemouth and Poole CID, said: "The robber and his accomplice could have red dye on them that is extremely difficult to remove. The dye will also be in the vehicle and possibly on the windows.
"Anyone who has suspicions or concerns about anyone who has red dye on them are advised not to approach them but to call the police immediately.
"Witnesses who may have seen this vehicle or anyone who has information that can help with the investigation is urged to come forward urgently and in confidence."
The bank was closed while investigations were carried out.
Witnesses should call 101, quoting incident number 10:98, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
The bank was last targeted in December 2012, when a man queued with customers before approaching the cashier and demanding cash, as well as making threats to harm members of the public in the branch.

Well, there you have it. It appears that the trade buzzed about for weeks will finally go through. According to multiple media outlets, the Timberwolves have reached an agreement with Cleveland that will send All Star forward Kevin Love to the Cavs in exchange for No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins, 2013 No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett and a protected 2015 first-round draft pick.
The deal took so long to materialize because Love vocalized hesitation to sign an extension with any team he signed with. Less than a week ago, things were not looking too ideal for the Wolves. On Aug. 1, Bob Finnan wrote the following: "[Love] can get far more money if he becomes a free agent in the summer of 2015 and re-signs with the team in which he is traded. That puts considerably more risk in a trade, especially if the Cavaliers are giving up a prospect like [Andrew] Wiggins." This is the largest reason Love did not end up in Golden State, although earlier rumors implied that a deal came close to being made. The transaction fell through when the Warriors refused to include Klay Thompson as part of the package. No team wants to risk trading 1-2 of its top players to acquire a guy who may walk after one season.
Cleveland, however, appeared the most likely of teams to convince Love to stay. The team expressed interest in Love earlier in the offseason, but only after LeBron James announced his return to the Cavs did Love express a desire to play there as well. According to Yahoo! Sports, Love will commit to opt out of his contract in 2015 and re-sign with Cleveland next summer for five years and $120 million-plus.
As with any major NBA deal, varying opinions continue to pop up across all social media platforms. In general, though, the consensus of Minnesota seems to be a giant "thumbs up." It's always difficult to watch genuine talent leave one's city for a rival squad. But in this case, Love's attitude ate away like a cancer to the team. Bridges were burned, and it became painfully clear that the UCLA alum would opt out following this season anyway–so Wolves fans could only hope to see a trade rather than walking away empty-handed.
This is absolutely the best-case scenario.
Love and LeBron certainly hold the cards to make a championship run next season (I'm not convinced they'll succeed, but that's a story for another time). Cleveland is taking the instant-gratification route, while this transaction offers Minnesota a very real chance at building a team the right way.
Some fans may be concerned that Wiggins will resent being traded to the Wolves, but that is likely an inaccurate assumption. In an interview earlier this week, Wiggins told ESPN that he wants to play where he's most desired and appreciated. "I just want to play for a team that wants me. So whichever team wants me, I'll play for." Wiggins has clearly known for awhile now that being moved to Minnesota was a very real possibility. AP's Jon Krawczynski said he was "told that [Wiggins] had his reps start lining up local endorsement opportunities."
While the rookie would admittedly have a better chance at a championship in Cleveland, he would be living in the shadow of much larger names. Joining the Wolves offers Wiggins a very real chance at creating a league name for himself, becoming a standout athlete in a smaller market. ESPN's Royce Young tweeted the following Thursday afternoon:
Honestly, this is good for Wiggins. Guy has superstar potential and needs to be able to grow organically, rather than under shadow of LeBron
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) August 7, 2014
The trade should be s done deal, but nothing will be official until Aug. 23, as league rules prohibit players from being traded until 30 days after signing a new contract. Wiggins' rookie contract was signed July 24.
Countless Minnesota fans are expressing excitement over the deal, and it looks to be a great foundation for the "rebuild" talked about for several seasons. Welcome to Minnesota, Mr. Wiggins.

By Donna Mata; Published by Lammert, Inc.
By the late 1800s, Fort Worth was a thriving town on the west Texas frontier and a premier cattle trading and packing center. A small group of civic-minded women decided it was time to build an institution to care for the sick.
Calling themselves the "Comfort Band," the women rallied the citizens of Fort Worth to raise the funds needed for a hospital. Fort Worth's Episcopal Church soon joined their cause, and by 1906, All Saints Episcopal Hospital, with twenty-four beds and an affiliated nursing school, was ready to serve the community. The hospital flourished during Fort Worth's oil boom of the 1920s, and a brand-new three-story facility accommodated the growing population. But unfortunately, that prosperity was short-lived and only the generosity of local businessman Dr. T.C. Terrell kept the hospital's doors from closing during the depression years.
Fortunately, by the end of World War II, a new period of affluence boosted Fort Worth's economy, and benefited All Saints. In 1959, All Saints opened a new nine-story, 365 bed hospital to meet the demand for healthcare.
In the decades that followed, the hospital expanded services, establishing the Moncrief Cancer Center with a $2.5-million donation from Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Moncrief in honor of their sixty-first wedding anniversary. Later, the Moncrief Ambulatory Care Center opened and the Carter Rehabilitation and Fitness Center began offering cardiac, pulmonary and orthopedic-related rehabilitation, along with a fitness center featuring an indoor heated pool, spa, track, aerobics room and resistance training equipment. Then in 1987, All Saints expanded its reach again by building a second full-service hospital in the growing area of southwest Fort Worth, All Saints Hospital Cityview (now known as Baylor Medical Center at Southwest Fort Worth).
By 2001, neurology and neurosurgery were at the forefront with the opening of the Laura Leonard Hallum Neuroscience Center. Today, the center offers expertise in spinal services, skull base surgery, stroke, neurosurgery and minimally invasive procedures, along with advanced technology such as deep brain stimulation for treatment of Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia.
A major milestone took place in 2002 when the All Saints Hospitals joined the Baylor Health Care System, an extensive network of private, not-for-profit hospitals in North Texas. The new affiliation would change the hospitals name to Baylor All Saints Medical Centers and give them access to the resources and expertise of Baylor Health Care System, including the Baylor Regional Transplant Institute.
By the summer of 2002, Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center – Fort Worth was performing Tarrant County's first liver transplant, and by the fall of 2003, the hospital became the only hospital in the county to perform pancreas transplants. Since then, over two hundred patients in Tarrant County have benefited from Baylor All Saints' growing transplantation program, which also includes kidney transplantation.
Today, Baylor All Saints' reputation for full-service acute care continues to grow, not only in cancer, transplantation and neurosciences, but other areas as well. The George Kemble Rehabilitation Center, named in honor of the late George Kemble, M.D., medical director of rehabilitation services from 1983 until 2000, was dedicated in January 2003. The center houses Baylor All Saints' comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation services. In 2004 the Baylor All Saints Regional Heart Center added two new heart therapies to its comprehensive cardiovascular program: cryoablation, which freezes and kills diseased heart tissue, and alcohol ablation, which uses medically prescribed alcohol to kill and shrink excess heart muscle tissue.
Women's services are an important focus our hospital. In 2004 more than nineteen hundred babies were born in the family-centered childbirth programs at Baylor All Saints and at Baylor Southwest. Specialists at Baylor All Saints also offer prenatal diagnosis and services, high-risk pregnancy care and newborn intensive care. Rounding out the services offered to women are care and newborn intensive care. Rounding out the services offered to women are diagnostic screenings like breast imaging and mammography, bone density for osteoporosis and medical and surgical treatment for gynecological conditions.
In 2005, Baylor All Saints was the first hospital in Texas and the third in the country to offer patients the new floor-mounted, flat panel interventional radiology suite. The suite allows doctors to perform minimally invasive surgery using high-tech imaging technology. Both Baylor All Saints and Baylor Southwest also have a full range of diagnostic imaging services, including CT scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and diagnostic radiology.
Also in 2005, the Nicholas and Louella Martin Center for Chronic Pain Management opened to offer patients and their families an interdisciplinary resource to turn to for coping with chronic pain. The center offers medical and surgical treatment, medication management, nutrition, vocational and psychological counseling, rehab therapy and education.
In late 2005, Baylor All Saints benefactors Judy and Paul Andrews, Jr., donated $10 million to the All Saints Health Foundation and laid the groundwork for a $95-million, 170,000-square- foot, four-story the Paul and Judy Andrews Women's Hospital on the campus of Baylor All Saints Medical Center. The 92-bed hospital opened in March 2008, and offers comprehensive specialty services such as reproductive medicine, gynecological surgery, pelvic medicine, obstetrical services, a level III intensive care unit for premature and low-birth weight infants. In addition to the traditional women's health services, Baylor All Saints offers a comprehensive breast center include a breast navigator, genetic testing services, an aesthetic center, urinary incontinence treatment center, and a sexual dysfunction clinic.
As Baylor Scott & White – Fort Worth begins its second century of service, the hospitals continue to move forward in order to provide quality healthcare services that make a difference in the lives of residents in the greater Fort Worth community.

exemplary care, education and research.

- Video got powerful. I grew up in a midwestern town with two TV channels, both of which showed fairly awful programs. Listening to great music was much better than watching crappy TV. I remember vividly watching my first episode of Saturday Night Live, thinking "Wow, this is really good." Now I've got a Netflix subscription and 500+ channels of video -- many of which are actually watchable. So I watch.
- Radio lost its grip. In my teens, my brothers and I would listen to far-away AM radio stations so we could hear good music. Hearing "Jumping Jack Flash" for the first time was a rush. The radio was how we stayed on top of what was happening. Now it seems like most radio stations are programmed by four guys in Texas. I'm grateful for WERS, my favorite Boston college station. Without it, I'd be listening exclusively to news, talk, Garrison and stupid quiz shows on NPR.
- I got old. Who knew this would happen? But not a lot of new music does much for me.
Tom's Five Suggestions


text:
I got the idea for a blog about Bevin's JRA after getting a chance to get to know a family whose little girl was diagnosed with Early Myoclonic Epileptic Encephalopathy (EMEE). They were able to keep all their friends and family informed of what was going on with Grace thru their blog. And because of the blog, I was also able to follow along with her story and get to know Grace and her family better as well as learn about EMEE, something I had never even heard of. It also showed me the courage and strength a family could have when faced with their child's diagnosis. Sadly Grace passed away in October, but her parents have kept up with her blog and the things they are still doing to find out why Grace had EMEE. When I start to get stressed or upset about Bevin, I think of Grace.
Since Bevin's been diagnosed we've had lots of questions and concerns and "How is Bevin doing?" from everyone and I hope thru Bevin's blog I will be able to keep everyone informed on how she's doing, doctor's office visits, etc. I also hope to help people learn about JRA. To be honest my knowledge of JRA only consists of what I have been told or figured out in this last month, so as I learn things about this disease I will share my new knowledge. I also hope to be able to find and get to know other parents who are going thru this with their children. I personally don't know anyone who has had to go thru this, so I would be very appreciative of any stories and/or advice from other parents letting me know what they have gone thru and experienced.
For those of you that don't know Bevin, she will be 2 in February; she is one of the most independent 1 year olds I have ever known. She was doing things at 1 that her brother just started doing/mastering at 4. She also has one of the biggest tempers I have ever seen…especially for someone so small! If she doesn't get her way she picks up the nearest object and throws it. For the time being it is quite comical watching this little person get so angry, but I know in her teenage years it won't be so funny. To sum her up she is a quirky little ball of fire.
Bevin also has a heart murmur that was discovered at her 4 month check-up. As her pediatrician is listening to her heart he looks at me and says "have I ever heard this heart murmur before?"…Ummm NO! They did an EKG right away, which apparently is standard procedure, but when someone tells you they need to do an EKG on your baby it doesn't matter how many times they tell you its standard, it still scares the crap out of you. Luckily it's nothing that we need to be concerned about and heart murmurs are pretty common, so that was a relief.
Bevin also has Eczema (since birth) and what will likely end up being diagnosed as Psoriasis, both of which tie into the autoimmune disease side. She has what looks like athletes foot, but it's possible it's her Eczema…we've been trying a few different OTC things to clear it up, but as of her follow up appointment if nothing helps, we will have to get cultures to try and determine exactly what it is and likely get a prescription cream to get rid of it. Every time I put the OTC creams on her feet she winces and/or pulls away, so I assume it's painful for her.
As I mentioned in my first post, Bevin has always walked funny…since the day she started walking she has looked like a new born dear trying to walk for the first time (or a drunken sailor). We always assumed it was something she would eventually "master"…now knowing that she has JRA and that both of her hips are affected it's likely she walks the way she does to compensate for her hip pain. Her limp can be better or worse depending on the day. Yesterday she was practically dragging her leg behind her, this morning it wasn't as bad.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to stop and read Bevin's blog and get to know her a little better.
Below are some pictures and a video of Bevin's limping (she is not a fan of the video camera, hence the scream at the end).

Mean Betty: Dina Lohan, No, You Don't Get a "Do Over!"
After a rambling, bizarre interview on Dr. Phil, Dina Lohan wants a re-match. Unlike daughter Lindsay, though, she probably won't get one.
-Mean Betty
Oh, kittens, Meanie is just shaking her head over the latest nonsense from the Lohan clan.
Hot on the heels of a wacky (which, by the way, is putting it kindly) appearance by Dina Lohan on The Dr. Phil Show, Lindsay Lohan had another run in with the law. Whoopsies! Apparently she clipped a pedestrian with after partying at the Dream Hotel in the Big, Proverbial Apple.
Weirdly, though, the accident itself wasn't as bizarre as Dina's free-fall interview with Dr. Phil. After the good doctor pointed out Lindsay's increasingly long list of arrests, Dina quipped, "[If she was] living in New York, five of them would be obsolete." Um, Dina? No, darling. Just no. Just because you and your spawn are from New York that doesn't mean you are all granted immunity while you are in it.
Read Mean Betty on Gwyneth Paltrow's Dangerous, Fashion Packrat Tendencies
If you've ever wondered, cringed, or shook your head at Lindsay's antics, watching Dina with Dr. Phil was an eye-opener. Whilst both Mother Dearest and Darling Daughter vehemently deny using any substances, one glance at the clip below makes you wonder exactly what the two actually share — and It's certainly not shoes. Lambies, when Dina, who attempted to use the interview to prove that she isn't the "worst mother in America," looks at Dr. Phil and says, "You're in your little tie, your little shoes" as an attempt to side-step his pointed questions, you just know that reality has well and truly left the building.
Kittens, if you've kept Lindsay's erratic behavior in mind, you'll realize that in a way, she didn't really have the chance to be any different than she is now. If you grow up with a wacko, you'll be a wacko. It's your normal — your baseline behavior, if you will. Indeed, the butler thinks that if Lindsay has been kidnapped by gorillas as a child, she probably would have had a better chance to grow up in way that fit society's norms!
More clips, more Dina Lohan madness up next!

Mine is answering support tickets, hands down.When I was freelancing, it was chasing up invoices.
Documentation. By the time I finish documenting something, I usually have to go back and revise it because something change.d Course, those changes tend to be implemented by me in the first place, so I'm kind of my worst enemy there....
Mine is sending updates and asking for payment. Its tiring and irritating.
while drowsy and out of ideas. and doing a lot of piles
Extra time without any payment i just hate it
Being ripped off. Thats happened to me a few times. Fortunately it hasn't happened in a while, but when it does happen it ruins my whole day.
Unconditional surrender of design decisions because he/she said so.
Constantly having to answer the phone - especially those so-called "courtesy calls" from salespeople.
Yeah, random sales calls are pretty annoying--I almost forgot about those.
I have one company that's been calling me almost every day for weeks. Since it's a sales call, I don't bother to pick up, and they never bother to leave a voicemail. :rolleyes:
In one of my previous jobs it was Man management and with websites its error checking forms etc.
Ugh. Ripped off how?
I would say constant interrumptions... also that people expect a lot for nothing.
Having to explain to the client why THEY wanted certain things done a certain way...
Sitting on a chair,in front of computer and Doing the same thing every day.....
Doing it, even I don't want to
As a business owner and a web designer, the worst part is dealing with certain clients. They will try to get out of paying you at all costs so that is why I implemented a FULL upfront payment policy.
Time for another job?
My thoughts exactly
The list could be a lot longer, but I think you get where it's going.......
Yes! I HATE that too.

The combination of the new 3.8 percent Medicare tax and the increased capital gain tax could hit some taxpayers living in retirement hard.
In a note to its retirement planning customers, Fidelity Investments explains that the amount owed is based on the lesser of your total net investment income or the amount of your modified adjusted gross income, or MAGI, that exceeds $200,000 for individuals, $250,000 for couples filing jointly, or $125,000 for spouses filing separately.
Because MAGI includes wages, capital gains and qualified distributions from a retirement plan such as a traditional IRA, 401(k) or 403(b), someone with fairly ordinary income can be subject to big taxes.
People who sell homes in expensive communities are especially vulnerable, says Mark Pruner of Prudential Connecticut Realty in Greenwich, Conn. While couples get a $500,000 tax exclusion on their residence, almost anyone who bought a three-bedroom, two-bath house before 1982 in a city like Greenwich has more than $500,000 in gain, Pruner says.
He points to a sale he closed this week on a three-bedroom, two-bath home in need of a new kitchen and other cosmetic work that sold for $925,000. The seller, who paid a very typical $100,000 for that house in 1982, will owe capital gains taxes on $325,000 at a 15 percent rate, plus the new 3.8 percent Medicare tax for a total of 18.8 percent. If his gain had been more than $450,000, his tax rate would be 23.8 percent.
If this person had taken out a big mortgage in order to send kids to college or buy a second home, he may not make enough from the sale of the house to pay the taxes, Pruner says. "People in these circumstances are going to have to stay there until they die and their heirs get a step-up in value," bringing the worth of the property to current market value so that a sale generally doesn't create much gain.
Pruner thinks it wasn't the intent of Congress to punish people who live in communities such as Greenwich, San Francisco, New York City and other places where the housing is pricey. "People who are going too be hit by this are the heart of America. They bought their homes and lived in them a long time," he says. "Now they are caught in an equity capital gains trap."

• mundane •
Pronunciation: mên-deyn
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Worldly, secular, as opposed to spiritual or heavenly. 2. Pedestrian, commonplace, trite, ordinary.
Notes: The adverb for this good adjective is mundanely and you have your choice of two nouns: the mundane mundaneness or the more elegant mundanity [mên-dæ-nê-ti], which some dictionaries no longer post.
In Play: The two meanings of today's Good Word are so close, it is often difficult to distinguish them in using the word, "You know, Farquhar, concerns about money should be far too mundane for a creative mind like you, so I'm going to ignore your request for a raise in your own best interest." Just remember, this is a good word to replace that utterly irksome utterance, blah, when we cannot think of anything else to say: "He gave a performance that was (not blah!) mundane."
Word History: Nothing could be more mundane than another borrowing from French, but that is exactly what we have today: Middle English made a virtual tracing of Middle French mondain, the descendant of Late Latin mundanus "a citizen of the world", from mundus "world, earth". The Latin verb, mundare, however, means "to wash, to clean". Are they related? Julius Pokorny, one of our greatest etymologists, thought so. He posited a PIE root, *meut- "moist, wet", which came to be used to refer to earth, which does best when moist, and from there to "world". He points to English mud, less the fickle [n], German Mund "mouth", with it, as further support of the original meaning.

nothing mondane about mondane
While it is most certainly not ethereal, It, the word mondane, is not mondane either..
Check to see if your boss or coworkers actually know what it means.

The Expected.....
4. Jay Bruce, of, Triple-A Louisville (Reds)
The 20-year-old Bruce is proving with each promotion that there's little he can't do. After slumping upon arrival in the International League (for all of about a week), Bruce has proceeded to hit .358/.411/.716 with six home runs and 15 RBIs in the 18 games since July 21. He's fared very well against lefthanded pitchers thus far, too, hitting .333/.440/.667 in 21 at-bats. And don't look now, but Bruce is the minor league leader with 68 extra-base hits.
And The New........
18. Matt Maloney, lhp, Double-A Chattanooga (Reds)
When you're the new guy, you want to fit in. Maloney did a pretty job of introducing himself to his new Lookouts teammates--seven innings, six hits, one run and 10 strikeouts in his first start since being traded to the Reds.

The Woods launches RN to BSN completion program
December 10th, 2013 | SMWC
For Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, a new year will mean a new major program. When students enroll in Woods Online to begin in January 2014, an online option will be available – RN to BSN degree completion program. This program seeks to help women and men who hold an associate's degree and nursing license complete a bachelor's degree.
Leadership and advancement opportunities often require BSN degrees. Several states are preparing an initiative that will require associate degreed RNs to obtain their BSN. SMWC's online program affords nurses the flexibility to further their education while maintaining their current job responsibilities.
Specifically, the RN to BSN program at SMWC will prepare students to lead people or projects in the healthcare field by encouraging them to explore leadership and management theories and principles and their application to the nursing practice in the provision of healthcare.
The Woods continues to build upon its reputation of offering distinctive health-related programs to prepare students for careers in high demand. A healthcare administration major was added in Fall 2013. Additionally, its art therapy, music therapy and equine assisted therapy programs, used within a therapeutic relationship, provide avenues for communication to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words.
"SMWC is poised to enter this market with distinction and experience in distance education to offer a completion program that can be completed online and with nursing practice experiences in their current work setting," said Janet Clark, Ph.D., vice president for academic affairs at SMWC.
Students will enter the program with an associate degree, a nursing license and a minimum 2.75 GPA. Through the RN to BSN completion program, graduates will enhance their knowledge, skills, and abilities; and ultimately it will have a positive impact in their current nursing setting. The major is designed to complement the student who is a registered nurse. SMWC's program incorporates management and leadership courses along with upper level psychology and nursing courses and experiences.
The courses are designed to be fully online and do not require any residency periods. A capstone practicum will involve clinical hours that will be set up at the student's current employment setting or a setting of their choice.
Students will help them develop critical thinking skills, hone writing skills, and gain leadership, teamwork and management skills, which will lead to improved problem solving and critical reasoning. All these aspects will be beneficial in preparation for unlimited career opportunities in nursing.
Deadline for January 2014 enrollment in the RN to BSN completion program is Jan. 10, 2014. For more information about Woods Online, visit www.smwc.edu/online.

Seals Tight - Prevents Passage of Liquids or
Provides Greater Shear and Tensile Strength than Open Ended Rivets
CRL Closed-End Rivets have a cup-shaped end configuration that seals
tight when actuated. This design prevents the passage of liquids or vapors
around or through the set rivet, at pressures up to 500 psi. Closed-End Rivets
provide greater shear and tensile strength than equivalent open-end rivets, an
important factor in many industrial and electronic applications. All sizes are
shipped only in full factory cartons, which can be assorted with full cartons of
open-end rivets for quantity pricing.
Rivet Diameter: 5/32 in (4 mm)
Grip Range: 1/8 - 3/16 in (.125 - .187 in) (3.18 - 4.76 mm)
Receiving Hole Size : .160 - .164 in (4.1 - 4.2 mm), #20
Case Qty: 5000
Minimum Order: 1 Case
Additional Product Information:
Rivet Head Diameter: .312 inch (7.9 millimeter)
Rivet Head Height: .060 inch (1.5 millimeter)
Rivet Length Maximum: .374 inch (9.5 millimeter)

Pixel Bender has been living on Adobe labs since it was first introduced at MAX 2007. Since CS4 and Flash Player 10 though it has joined the ranks of "real" Adobe technologies.
We've finally created "official" areas for Pixel Bender in the Adobe Developer Connection and Adobe Cookbook sites. We've also moved the Pixel Bender forum out of the labs forums area and into the main Adobe forums site. These join the Pixel Bender exchange as great resources for Pixel Bender developers.
The Pixel Bender Technology Center
This is now the main page for the Pixel Bender technology. Currently it features information on learning Pixel Bender and links to tutorial videos, references, the latest official downloads and more.
Looking for a place to post useful Actionscript or Pixel Bender code, or find code from other folks? This is the new place. You can also request recipes from the community.
The Pixel Bender Exchange has also been around for a while and is THE place to post your Pixel Bender filters or browse filters created by other developers.
The Pixel Bender area on labs isn't gone. Watch that space for future public betas or pre-releases.
