Racktastic GIFS of Babes in Hand Bras
Who needs a bra when you've got two perfectly capable hands to help support you. The most expensive bra in the world made by Victoria's Secret costs over $10 million. But why bother dropping that much loot when a good pair of arms can do the work?
All jokes aside (or at arms length), we know that hand bras aren't practical. Heck, they're just basically the biggest tease a girl can do when she's at home, but we're still quite jealous of their hands every single time. So check out some of the best GIFs we could find featuring racktastic babes wearing nothing but hand bras.

Title: Scorched
Series: Tracers, Book 6
Author: Laura Griffin
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Sensuality Rating: Sensual
Source: review copy from Edelweiss
Published: October 30, 2012 by Pocket Star
Kelsey Quinn set out to trace a murder victim. Now she may become one. The dead don't speak, but Kelsey knows their secrets. As a forensic anthropologist at the Delphi Center crime lab, Kelsey makes it her mission to identify bodies using no more than shards of bone, and her find at a remote Philippines dig hints at a sinister story. When Kelsey's search for answers puts her at the scene of her ex-fiancé's murder, only one man can help her. The same man who broke her heart just months before, and who is also a prime suspect. Faced with an ultimatum— Kelsey or his job—Gage Brewer did the only thing a Navy SEAL could . . . but that doesn't mean he stopped wanting Kelsey. Now Kelsey is running for her life and Gage is her last line of defense. As the threats escalate, Kelsey realizes this conspiracy goes deeper and higher than they could have guessed. With the clock ticking down on a madman's plot, the slightest misstep will have unthinkable consequences. . . .
Why I Read this Book: I was following a Twitter chat for author Laura Griffin a while back and talk of a 'body farm' caught my attention. Forensic science fascinates me and I love reading romantic suspense so I knew I had to try this series.
What I Liked: The conflict in Kelsey and Gage's relationship was real and I'm satisfied with the way things turned out. There's one thing that broke up Kelsey and Gage that keeps them apart: Gage being a SEAL. They love each other but Gage's line of work keeps them apart geographically and also causes Kelsey to worry. Both have important jobs that they enjoying doing so there's no easy solution for them to be together. He's a SEAL who's stationed in San Diego but is constantly sent on missions overseas and she's a well-respected forensic anthropologist at the prestigious Delphi Center in Texas. The way things work out between these two characters was believable and it worked for me.
Derek Vaughn, Gage's SEAL buddy, was a fun character. I like the possibility of a romance between him and Elizabeth LeBlanc. Derek's an outright flirt and is pretty direct with Elizabeth about what he wants. I want more of them!
This was not a clear cut mystery. The author gives you just a taste of what's part of a bigger problem. It kept me on my toes while I was trying to piece everything together. And even though Scorched is book 6 in this series, it can totally be read as a stand alone novel. This is actually the first book in this series I've read but I'm definitely going to go back and read books 1-5.
What I Didn't Like: There were a few things that left me scratching my head. (1) Why doesn't Gage try calling Kelsey on her cell phone when she first goes missing? Instead, he hits the road and happens to know exactly where she is. It was not only too easy, it was questionable for him to know where she was considering Kelsey lives in Texas and Gage lives in California. (2) Kelsey contradicts herself. During one conversation, Kelsey tells Gage "why would I want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane" then later on, in the very same day, she tells Gage that she might actually like to go skydiving. (3) Who falls asleep outside in the desert in 50 degree weather, naked mind you, when there are people out to see them dead? Kelsey and Gage do, that's who.
The love scenes left me feeling short changed. I was expecting more passion, more heat, considering the past between Kelsey and Gage.
There was quite of bit of military jargon. Good thing the dictionary on my Kindle recognized most (but no all) of the acronyms.
Memorable Moment:
"Clearly your brain is warped. It's from being around too much macho all the time."
Overall Impression: Scorched was a good multi-layered romantic suspense novel, even with the gripes I mentioned. What it lacked in smexy times, it made up for with edge-of-my-seat suspense. Karen Rose fans will love the attention to details when it comes to the intricate case at hand.

MinuteSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
You are reading a book and you come across the word minute. You know instantly that the word is minute (small) and not minute (60 seconds). You did not conclude this based on the words before or after it, its placement in the sentence, or the title of the book. What the book is about is irrelevant. The book is written in English, and the answer is NOT that the print was small.
So, how did you know the word was minute (small) and not minute (60 seconds)?
AnswerThe word was hyphenated (half at the end of one line and the rest at the beginning of the next line). When this happens, the word is separated between the syllables. The two words separate at different points, as minute (small) would appear as mi-nute and minute (60 seconds) would appear as min-ute.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/10/2010 (2513 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Most people in Winnipeg today probably couldn't name their deputy mayor, but for a brief period in the 1970s the deputy mayor was the most powerful elected official at city hall.
For most of that period, the job was held by Bernie Wolfe, whom some would argue was the real mayor of Winnipeg, and not his rival, the charismatic and mercurial Steve Juba.
Back then, the members of executive policy committee were elected by council -- not appointed by the mayor as they are today -- and the deputy mayor was selected by EPC, which he also led, making Wolfe the political leader of the city until the system changed at the end of the 1970s.
Juba had a bigger profile, but, according to Wolfe, he lacked the power and the personality to implement his ideas. His role was largely confined to cutting ribbons, representing the city at official functions, handing out gifts, including a cigarette lighter emblazoned with the city crest, and occasionally using his position in a bully pulpit to promote his ideas and strike out at people and plans he did not like, Wolfe said.
The real power was wielded by Wolfe and the pro-business Independent Citizens Election Committee, a political grouping that held a majority of seats on council.
It was in this context that Wolfe and senior city officials, who he said were considered to be among the best in the business anywhere in Canada at that time, met regularly in a private dining room in the basement of the Centennial Concert Hall with then-premier Ed Schreyer and cabinet ministers Sid Green and Saul Cherniak.
"We had regular meetings, sometimes twice a month," Wolfe said in an interview.
Juba never attended. The discussions were often blunt and angry as the two sides sought agreement on priorities for the city, he recalled.
The city's inability to raise the revenues it needed to accomplish its goals was an issue then, too, he said. But disagreements were worked out in private, rather than in public, as has often been the case over the last 20 years.
One example was a civic proposal to spend $800 million on a 30-year plan to build freeways and an underground rail system throughout Winnipeg following a six-year study that cost $300,000, an enormous sum in those days.
The city wanted to fund it with a tax on motorists, since they would benefit from the improvements, and with grants from the province and some funding from local ratepayers, but it stalled over a lack of support and went nowhere.
"If Winnipeg is to grow," municipal official D.I. MacDonald said ominously at the time, "then there's no question that these facilities are required."
He noted that the province and federal government needed a plan for funding of urban transportation, which cities could not afford on their own.
The plan had been prepared in the 1960s when Wolfe was a councillor on the Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg, which was responsible for regional planning and improvements.
At that time, Wolfe says he suggested to then-premier Duff Roblin that the province introduce a one per cent sales tax to help the city finance its requirements. "He said, 'That's a great idea,' and went ahead and imposed the tax, but he kept it all for himself."
The city made other efforts in the 1970s for a revenue-sharing agreement with the province, but they were all rebuffed.
The province, then as now, had its own priorities and creating one great city was not one of them, then as now. As well, then as now, the province believed it knew what was best for the city and that it, uniquely, had the skills and the responsibility to determine those needs, weighed against all its other priorities and obligations.
Despite the failures of the past, Wolfe said he believes the city and province have to start sitting down on a regular basis, the way they once did. In fact, he believes a meeting between all three levels of government is long overdue to determine how best to divvy up taxpayers' money.
The city may have modernized its political structure, but its ability to finance its operations is as backwards as ever, he said.
"The size of a person's roof doesn't reflect ability to pay," Wolfe said, explaining property taxes are regressive and antiquated. Property taxes should pay for services to property, such as garbage collection, sewer and water, and fire and police protection. But services to people, such as parks and recreation, community clubs, Transit and regional streets and freeways, should be funded through income taxes or some other method that reflects ability to pay, he said.
Education should not be funded by property at all, he said. "I don't understand why they aren't talking about that" in the municipal election.
He said he urged Judy Wasylycia-Leis to run for the mayor's job because he is disappointed in Mayor Sam Katz.
"I felt she would bring a fresh approach and she has considerable experience in government," he said. "She's got the background and experience."
It's a somewhat remarkable endorsement, considering that Wolfe, a Liberal who ran federally and provincially, including one campaign against Ed Schreyer, had a reputation as being as pro-business as Katz.
But he said "Sam hasn't lived up to expectations" and it's time for a change.
At 88, Wolfe is still active and he follows political affairs closely. He believes the city has missed many opportunities for greatness in the past -- the failed transportation plan, for one -- but he never stops hoping it will all turn around following one of those old-fashioned meetings in a basement restaurant between people with the power to make good things happen.
He might be one of the best mayors Winnipeg never had.

Clover Mowers
We let the ewes into the clover. Not even a snake in the grass (me) could spook them from munching. "Split Ear," a former bottle lamb, was watching the lambs climb the compost pile.
Rip and chew, rip and chew. So good.

I traveled with Bob to the McNay Research Farm in Clariton, Iowa, yesterday to attend a beef cattle research day for veterinarians. Much of the material could be helpful for anyone with a cow-calf herd. Here are some highlights.
4 Steps to Selecting Bulls Are you buying bulls that really help your herd? Become a better match-maker. Here are tips:
1. Determine the best bull breed for your operation (not just what is popular)
2. Evaluate bull performance using EPDs and other data. Don't forget the Docility EPD. "You better look at it if you have trouble getting over a 5-strand barbed wire fence," says Patrick Wall, Iowa State Extension beef specialist. Small herds, especially those owned by families with kids, do not want aggressive bulls.
3. Visually evaluate bulls and how that fits with your cow herd.
4. Who is your customer? (Define the market strategy for your beef product.)
Foot problems in bulls and cows are becoming more common. Two main issues are shallow heels with long toes and scissor/corkscrew claws. Data is being collected in the cattle industry and EPDs will be provided as soon as sufficient data is submitted. Meanwhile, before you buy a young bull ask about his genetic history as relates to feet problems.
Tall Fescue is a growing problem in pastures. The fescue belt is moving north. Fescue toxicosis is a health disorder, not nutritional, but you must meet cow mineral requirements. Fescue toxicosis causes narrowing of blood vessels, foot problems, low feed intake and rate of gain, birthing problems, poor milk production and more. Seed head and stems are the worst, but alkaloids are in the entire plant. Pasture management is crucial. Please see more information here.
What is the #1 Concern for beef cow herds in Iowa? Availability of grass. In five years, between the last two Census of Agriculture reports, Iowa lost 21% of its pastureland, mainly to row crops. YIKES.

Everything changes so rapidly in the spring. The lambs grow quickly, the irises bloom overnight, the garden gets choked with weeds before you turn around. Here is a random assortment of photos from the past week to give you a glimpse of the fun!
No fuss, no work, just fabulous fragrant flowers every year forever.
This bust exploded in the kiln, so Caroline buried it in my garden as a scarecrow. Creepy.
Bob and Warren caught the oldest lambs for vaccinating and worming.
Bob took this photo for Mother's Day.
Once again, our alfalfa field is taken over by wild mustard. Too wet to mow yet.
Bob readies the east lean-to for lamb vaccinations.
Bob cared for this weak little calf two years ago, and yesterday he did a pregnancy check on her (below) -- positive!
Irises in my favorite new weird vase.
There are so many wonderful sights to see in May, things to smell, things to do. I traveled on farms in Illinois and Missouri last week, collecting photos and interviews for Living the Country Life. There is nothing better than seeing the countryside and talking to farmers. Unless it's sitting under the blooming lilac bushes with a good book.
Of all the calves to come up to me in this pasture.
This is the east grove at our small farm in Iowa. The smell is out of this world. Bees loves these blossoms!
What's up?
I like to sit under the lilac bush while Bob mows. Score.
I really didn't want this fight to happen in front of me, and luckily it didn't.
Another photo of my flowering crabapple trees. Aaaahhh.
Storms dropped more than an inch of rain over the weekend, so lots of hay bedding was needed for the youngest lambs.
Watch a video of the lambs behind our barn here.
This is a sweet time of year. My lilacs are blooming in the back yard and the new lambs are jumping for joy behind the barn. Last night we opened pens and let a new batch of babies out of the barn. The sound of baaaaaas could be heard for miles, I'm sure. Moms are trying to gather their offspring around them (not easy with triplets) and lambs are scared because mom is out of sight over at the hay feeder. Everyone settles down by sundown. We added lots of bedding behind the barn because it rained all weekend.
Little Speck is growing like crazy. This is one of the twin females I showed you earlier, the first lambs born on our farm this spring. Love the markings. They are racing around outside now, leaping in the sunshine.
Bob had to perform a c-section on a ewe this week. He set up a surgery station in her pen. She and her surviving lamb (another was dead) are doing fine today.
I love the photo below of a ewe sniffing out what Bob is doing.
I used a painter brush tool in Photoshop to enhance this photo, not that my forsythia needs any encouragement this spring. I forgot to trim it last year, so it's gaily waving spindly yellow arms in the breeze. Once it stops blooming I will chop it down to size.
When my forsythia blooms I know it's time to plant potatoes and onions, so that is what I did on Saturday. I also planted a row of gladiolus. We got an inch of rain last night. Perfect timing.
Our first lambs of 2015 were born last night and they are spotted like tiny Holstein cows. So cute. The black spots are new for our herd, thanks to the two rams we bought from Dean Houghton in Missouri last fall. It will be fun to see how long the spots stay black and how many other lambs have these markings.
The Dorset ewe lamb above is a yearling. She's doing a great job with these twins. Below is another lamb Bob is warming up in a sink bath. I'm not sure it's going to make it. That ewe struggled to lamb.
On Friday night I went with Bob to the vet clinic to watch him perform a c-section on a cow. Often these procedures are done in the field, but this cow was brought to the clinic and able to walk into the squeeze chute.
This was a recipient or "recip" cow that was carrying an embryo transfer calf. The calf, which will hopefully win in the show ring one day, weighed more than 100 pounds and not able to be delivered naturally.
Many C-sections are performed with the cow standing. An epidural (a nerve block of her perineal region) prior to surgery reduces the amount of straining. Local blocks are also used to numb the surgery area.
A large incision is made into the abdomen so that one horn of the uterus can be brought to the outside. The uterus is carefully incised and the calf is delivered. The uterus is then closed, the area is rinsed with sterile fluids, and the abdominal incision is closed.
About 90 minues after the cow arrived she and the big calf both walked out to the trailer and went home.

Big calf. Bob is sewing up the cow.
Hello, World.
A few months ago I noticed an uptick in water usage on our sheep farm. I figured it was due to a bigger flock or more water use in the shop. My mistake. By last month the volume was alarming, so I alerted Bob (who can now monitor and pay the utility bill).
He called the plumber who determined that the oldest water line behind the barn was leaking. In my defense, there weren't unusual puddles behind the barn. We have been droughty the past few years, so any extra water just soaked in or ran underground to the alfalfa field, pasture, and pond.
Workers came this week with a backhoe to dig out the line and install new hydrants in the barn. Pricey problem.

ONE of Warrington Wolves' 2009 Challenge Cup heroes has signed for London Broncos.
The relegated Broncos are briinging in Richard Mathers from Wakefield Trinity Wildcats on a two year deal from the 2015 season.
Mathers, aged 30, who was Wolves' full back at Wembley in 2009 when Huddersfield Giants were defeated in the Challenge Cup Final and again against his hometown club Leeds in 2010, will join the Broncos for pre-season training in November ahead of the 2015 season in the Kingstone Press Championship.
As Tony Smith's first signing for Wolves he had two seasons with the club but has a wealth of experience at the top level, having also played for Leeds Rhinos, Gold Coast Titans, Wigan Warriors, Castleford Tigers and Wakefield.
"He will be one of the highest profile players in the Championship next season." said Broncos head coach Joey Grima.
"His experience will be great for the Broncos as Richie is close to playing 300 games in the Super League and has experience of the NRL."
"This signing is an indication of how serious we are about where we want to be in 2015 and beyond and we look forward to welcoming Richie, Sasha and family to our club."
Mathers says the move to London is one that excites him and he's relishing the challenge.
"It's a massive move for myself and my family," he said.
"It's an exciting one and we're just at the planning stage of moving and bringing the family down and starting a new adventure.
"I've always enjoyed the trips down when I've played at The Stoop and different places and I've always enjoyed being down in London. I never really thought I'd get the opportunity to play down there and it's one that presented itself quite quickly.
"I met with Joey up in Leeds last week and I've spoken to him numerous times on the phone and really liked the ideas. He sold the place, not just on the club and the footy, but as a place to live and the whole package.
"I've been down to have a look around with my wife and it's been an eye opener and an experience we're looking forward to. Having seen the set-up at Underhill for training it's a great facility, it's all on one site and I'm really looking forward to starting pre-season training.
"I guess it was daunting at first, the relocation part of it, but having spoken to Joey about the rugby side of it, that's what I'm going there to do.
"The challenge is one I'm looking forward to. It's a different sort of challenge to what I've been used to but Joey's enthusiasm and the plans he has in place for the club not just next year but for the future, he really sold it to me. I didn't realise how passionate he was about it."
Mathers believes that the Broncos relegation to the Kingstone Press Championship will ultimately be better for the club in the long run.
"Everyone sees the struggles the Broncos have had this season and it's not nice," he said.
"I think it's a blessing in disguise dropping down to the Championship, they'll have a chance to regroup and get some players together and mount a really serious challenge.
"I do believe that a winning London side will attract the fans and I've grown up playing against some great London sides.
"That's what my challenge is, and that's what excited me about the challenge, being part of the opportunity to get the Broncos back in Super League."
Mathers played 89 games for Leeds during the 2002-2006 seasons and also played twice for England in 2005. He starred for Leeds at full-back in their 2004 Super League Grand Final win over Bradford Bulls and in 2005 he appeared in the World Club Challenge scoring a try against Canterbury Bulldogs.
Mathers also played for Leeds in their loss to Hull FC in the 2005 Challenge Cup final and the 2005 Super League Grand Final defeat by Bradford Bulls. He spent a season in the NRL with the Gold Coast Titans but was limited to six first grade games.
Mathers moved back to the UK and signed for Wigan the following season playing 24 games.
He joined Warrington part way through his second season at the Warriors and went on to play 47 games for the Wolves, winning the Challenge Cup with them in 2009 and 2010.
Mathers then joined Castleford in 2011 where he played 23 games and was loaned out to Wakefield in the same season. He joined Wakefield in 2012 and has played over 70 games over the past three seasons and has been a consistent performer for the Wildcats.

Hi. Can anyone enlighten me on the DotMobi url extension. Its ok had someone call me today and said that they could create a Dotmobi site to work along my current desktop/laptop website. The sales guy told me the benefits of this is that it would increase my sites seo for my website. Sorry not heard much about it. What do you guys think? Is it just a sales pitch pun?
Load of rubberish. Having a .mobi domain extension does nothing.
As a team member of dotMobi -- the company behind the .mobi domain as well as mobilization products like the goMobi mobile site builder and DeviceAtlas device detection solution -- I can tell you that the .mobi domain addresses several issues. In fact, we wrote an overview of that on our website at http://dotmobi.mobi/content/aboutmobi:
.mobi is the de facto standard for identifying mobile-friendly Web content The mobile Web continues to grow exponentially. In 2012, the U.S. audience for mobile Web was up 82% over the previous year, according to Nielsen. Today .mobi enjoys the position of the most prevalent top-level domain in use for identifying mobile content.
.mobi domains are whitelisted by network level transcoders Having invested money and time in creating a great mobile presence, you don't want a third-party transcoder modifying your site ... but this can happen when you use a non-standard name for your mobile Web site. Generally, .mobi sites are automatically whitelisted by all network-level transcoders, ensuring your site will render as you intended on all mobile devices.
.mobi domains offer better search engine performance Crucial to the success of any business is search engine marketing, which grew from $15.36B to $19.51B from 2011 to 2012, said eMarketer. Because every .mobi domain registered gets its own entry in the Internet Zone File, your site will perform better than any other mobile naming convention. Additionally, search engines detect searches from mobile devices and prioritize their results accordingly. Because .mobi sites are high quality and made for mobile, they go to the top of the mobile search results.
.mobi names are designed for mobile use Entering long URLs is cumbersome; you need a short name for your site. There are still millions of great .mobi names available for your content.
.mobi is actively promoted and industry supported For consumers, it's essential that mobile content be easily found and navigated; it's this need that prompted ICANN to approve .mobi as the only domain specifically designed for fending mobile content.
Nice sales pitch Vance (copy and paste). Sorry but it is all rubbish. Having a .mobi extension does none of those things. It all comes down to the actual site in question. Slapping a special extension is not some magic powder. I can buy a .mobi domain and put a non mobile accessible site behind it all I like. There is no regulations preventing me from using it as I please.
Either case, turning a .com into a mobile site is just as easily done. No special extension required. Furthermore, .mobi has been available since 2005 it has never taken off like they thought it would.
Great post. So you would suggest me getting a dotmobi domain name (shorter version) for my business and developing a mobile version of my desktop site ( not duplicated obviously)?
In a word: nope.
dotmobi is simply in the business of trying to get you to buy something. There's nothing any more special about the .mobi TLD than any other TLD.
To look at this another way: Would your website do better if you also bought .net, .org, .biz, .uk.co, .it, .cz, .ca, .de, .ly, and so on? Nope.
One of the best approaches to making your website accessible to mobile devices is to use responsive design. Using CSS media queries, you effectively detect the width of the browser and apply sections of CSS accordingly. So, you're using the same content and just displaying it in a slightly different manner.
Good recommendations @Force_Flow ;
In addition, designing your site semantically. Don't keyword pack; instead write your content to add value to what the site represents. Make regular updates. For the reponsive media queries, ensure that you don't just resize the site for the device size but also treat buttons differently - make them larger for fingers, reduce image size and serve the images using CSS, set up media files to be served at an appropriate size for the mobile domain. Also ensure that you give the option to the user to go to the full-size site; some people just don't like the mobile design as they are used to and would rather scroll side-to-side on the full site.

Military Tuition Discount
December 6th, 2013 | SMWC
For military personnel and their spouses earning a college degree just became a little easier.
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College announces a tuition discount for military students and spouses enrolling in its distance education program, Woods Online. Those who have served in the military will receive the discount to offer a special tuition rate of $250 per credit hour.
"[This discount is] in an effort to show the military active and military veterans our support in helping them reach their educational goals," said Laura Hale, SMWC director of distance admission. "Our distance program is online and does not require them to be on campus. Woods Online is perfect for them – no matter where they are in the world or what they are doing."
For the discount, students must enroll at least half time, complete the Woods Online Military Tuition Discount application, and provide a DD 214 and a marriage certificate, if applicable. The tuition discount cannot be combined with other institutional awards or scholarships.
"SMWC offers degrees and programs to help service members find gainful employment and our online program offers the flexibility they need to complete the degree," said Darla Hopper, director of financial aid.
As a result of the College's support of America's military, SMWC has been named to the coveted Military Friendly Schools® list by Victory Media, the premier media entity for military personnel transitioning into civilian life.
"Inclusion on the 2014 list of Military Friendly Schools® shows SMWC's commitment to providing a supportive environment for military students," said Sean Collins, vice president at Victory Media and a nine-year Navy veteran. "The need for education is growing and our mission is to provide the military community with transparent, world-class resources to assist in their search for schools."
The 2014 Military Friendly Schools® list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America's military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus. The list is also published by G.I. Jobs.
"This recognition shows the success of the Woods Online program and our students," Hale said. "We deeply appreciate the service of our military. We are pleased to make this opportunity available to all who seek a college degree."

Now that Thom has been hired for tv as well as radio, where does that leave George Grande and Chris Welsch. Will their roles change?
Now that Thom has been hired for tv as well as radio, where does that leave George Grande and Chris Welsch. Will their roles change?
From the way it sounds, George will do 100, with Thom doing the other 45. Chris is rumored to be doing all 145 games.
"Strickland Propane... Taste the meat, not the heat." - Hank Hill
Bet Grand put in a request for the Cards games..
I thought I heard somewhere in the media barrage that Grande is working 100 games, Creeeper is working 120-125 games and the as of yet unnamed "2nd new guy" who will work 120 games in the radio booth would work the TV games Creeper does not work.
If there is only one more new guy besides Thom, we know that whenever Thom works TV, Creeper will be working with him becasue the other new guy will be working the radio booth with Marty on those games.
It seems to me though the math comes up a litte short all around to keep both boothes covered at 2 in each booth with 5 guys knowing the number of games each guy will supposedly work (remember Marty takes those 2 in season breaks now. I figure that at a dozen games). Joe is supposedly in for up to 12 games health permitting but Allen did not seem real firm on that acually happening (Joes health?). I am guessing we will end up seeing someone from the pregame/ postgame TV crew (Jeff Picaro or Jim Day) filling out the TV booth 10 or 12 times during the season like happened this year when George missed some games.
Only the ones Edmonds starts. It's in his contract that he must show up, check the lineup card, and if Edmonds name is there, game on.Bet Grand put in a request for the Cards games..
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
Everything that happens before Death is what counts.
― Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes
Don't forget about his other man-crush, Albert Pull-Holtz.
Yeah, George can't let a broadcast go by without talking about his big Prince Albert. It's weird that he brags about his giant Prince Albert but he won't say damn.
Check out the other teams with broadcasters (you can find them on their official websites) and you can see how things are gravitating from 2 radio broadcasters/2 TV broadcasters to a plethera matching of time frames where there are 5-8 people rotating out either by TV or radio.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.

40 Best New Fall Nail Polishes
While most skin-care products only have one or two active ingredients, Tata Harper Boosted Contouring Serum has a full 35—and all of them are organic. To encourage collagen production, the serum relies on orange blossom peptides and date palm extract, while tiny spheres of pomegranate extract trap moisture on the skin. The result? After testing it myself, I looked like I had had a mini face lift five minutes after applying.

Midday Express of 2012-02-06
News from the European Commission's Midday Briefing
Nouvelles du rendez-vous de midi de la Commission européenne
State aid: Commission approves extension of bank support schemes in Greece
The European Commission has authorised, under EU State aid rules, an extension until 30 June 2012 of two support schemes for financial institutions in Greece. The first scheme concerns the recapitalisation of credit institutions by the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund and was initially approved in September 2010 (see IP/10/1092). The other scheme is a package of measures that was first approved in November 2008, consisting of a recapitalisation scheme, a guarantee scheme and a liquidity scheme (see IP/08/1742). The Commission found the extended schemes to be in line with its guidance on state aid to banks during the crisis, (see IP/08/1495 , IP/08/1901 and IP/11/1488) in particular because they are limited in time and scope and foresee sufficient safeguards to limit distortions of competition. They are, therefore, an appropriate means for remedying a serious disturbance in the Greek economy and, as such, are compatible with the internal market under Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
Commission clears acquisition of joint control of Tokyo Gas over T-Power
The European Commission has granted clearance under the EU Merger Regulation to the acquisition of joint control by Tokyo Gas over T-Power, a full-function joint venture operating a gas-fired cycle gas turbine power station in Belgium. As a result of the transaction, T-Power will be jointly-owned by Tokyo Gas, Tessenderlo Chemie, Siemens AG and ITOCHU. Tokyo Gas is an integrated energy company primarily active in Japan. Tessenderlo Chemie is internationally present as a manufacturer of chemical and specialty products. Siemens is a electronics and electrical engineering company. ITOCHU is a Japanese group active in a broad range of industries, including business investments in energy projects in around the world. The operation was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.
Tax Coordination: TPG discusses FATCA, VAT and national tax reforms
Improving and accelerating tax coordination in key areas that can contribute to economic stability and growth is the focus of today's meeting of the Tax Policy Group (TPG) in Brussels. Algirdas Šemeta, Commissioner for Taxation, Customs, Anti-Fraud and Audit, is chairing the TPG, which brings together high level representatives of EU Finance Ministers. The Group will be updated on the Commission's progress to find a pro-business approach with the USA in the application of the FATCA legislation in the EU. The future of VAT is also a topic for discussion today, including tackling VAT fraud and evasion. The Commission's Communication on VAT last December will help to provide the basis for this discussion (see IP/11/1508). Finally, the TPG will exchange views on the tax policy elements of national reform programmes and consider how to strengthen tax coordination in the context of the European Semester, in line with the AGS orientations (see MEMO/11/821). This is the fifth meeting of the Tax Policy Group, which was re-launched by Commissioner Šemeta in October 2010 ( IP/10/1312).
Third quarter 2011 compared with second quarter 2011 - Euro area government debt down to 87.4% of GDP - EU27 up to 82.2%
Today, Eurostat publishes for the first time a News Release with quarterly data on government debt. This new euroindicator complements the annual data already published in the twice yearly EDP notifications by providing a more short term trend in government debt for the euro area and the EU as well as for the Member States. This new quarterly euro-indicator will be issued around four months after the end of the quarter of reference. Annual EDP data notified by Member States in April and October are the subject of a thorough verification by Eurostat, which can lead to a revision of past quarterly data. At the end of the third quarter of 2011, the government debt to GDP ratio in the euro area (EA17) stood at 87.4%, down compared with 87.7% at the end of the second quarter of 2011. In the EU27 the ratio increased from 81.7% to 82.2%. Compared with the third quarter of 2010, the government debt to GDP ratio rose in both the euro area (from 83.2% to 87.4%) and the EU27 (from 78.5% to 82.2%). At the end of the third quarter of 2011, securities other than shares accounted for 79.3% of euro area and 79.7% of EU27 general government debt. Loans made up 18.0% of euro area and 15.8% of EU27 government debt. Currency and deposits represented 2.8% of euro area and 3.8% of EU27 government debt. Due to the involvement of EU governments in financial assistance to certain Member States, and in order to obtain a more complete picture of the evolution of government debt, quarterly data on intergovernmental lending (IGL) is also published. The share of IGL in GDP at the end of the third quarter of 2011 is similar for both the euro area and the EU27, amounting to 0.8% and 0.6% of GDP respectively.
Commissioners Piebalgs and Potočnik participate in the EU civil society event ahead Rio+20
Tomorrow, Andris Piebalgs, EU Commissioner for Development, and Janez Potočnik, EU Commissioner for Environment, will underline the link between fighting poverty and sustainable development at the conference "EU Civil Society on the road to Rio+20". The event is organised by the European Economic and Social Committee and participants include representatives of civil society organisations and business groups. The aim of the conference is to voice organised civil society's position ahead of Rio+20. Commissioner Piebalgs will highlight that sustainable development is a central point of his recent policy proposal "An Agenda for Change". He will stress that there is a clear link between the green economy and the fight against poverty as both issues are about access to drinking water, food, sustainable energy and healthy environment. Commissioner Potočnik will underline the need for a 'green economy roadmap' at the Rio conference, defining a common vision and charting a path towards it. The event will take place one day ahead of official European launch of the United Nations Year of Sustainable Energy for All in Brussels. Commissioner Piebalgs is a member of the High Level Group on Sustainable Energy for All, under the leadership of UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon.
Nuclear Waste: European citizens have a say on final disposal of nuclear waste
European citizens are invited to contribute to how research and development for disposing of radioactive waste is being organised at European level. The Implementing Geological Disposal Technical platform (IGD-TP) is carrying out a public consultation on its deployment plan until 13 February. The platform brings together European scientific research centres, waste management agencies, industry and international organizations and civil society. It aims at having the first operating geological disposal facility for hazardous waste in Europe by 2025. Highly active radioactive waste from nuclear reactors has to be buried deep under the ground to protect the environment and guarantee the health and safety of citizens. The work therefore supports the implementation of the recently adopted EU Nuclear Waste Directive. The IGD Technology Platform is co-funded by the Euratom 7th Research Framework Programme. More information on the public consultation here: www.igdtp.eu

Topic: Our Date To The ONC Today
We had our duo date with the ONC today. He was very happy that Teddy made the decision to NOT do Chemo (remember, we always knew Chemo would not work for him) and he could not get over Teddy's attitude and mental outlook. Teddy will see him again the day before we go on vacation to Milwaukee, and will get his B12 shot and a check-up so that he and the ONC feel secure with him leaving. Teddy got a RX for Codeine just in case anything should act up while we are gone. T will continue with monthly visits.
My appointment was full of great news. PET Scan was totally clean. Even the inflammation of one node had cleared up. I don't have to go back for 4 months and will proceed with 2 PET Scans a year. I am told that IF I stay Cancer free for 2 years I probably will not get the GIST back.
Cannot ask for better than all of that and our Cancer dance continues. By the way I treated today, next time his turn to treat for the office visit!
