ARCADIA – They came to Santa Anita Park to crown Game On Dude, the heavy favorite Saturday in the Breeders' Cup Classic.
Instead, it was game over, dudes.
Trainer Bob Baffert, who has won the Kentucky Derby three times, won nine Triple Crown races and won eight Breeders' Cup starts, remained hitless in the sport's late-season main event.
One of the most accomplished trainers going is now 0 for 10.
Baffert and Game On Dude didn't challenge Saturday, the horse never climbing higher than third. He eventually finished seventh, a fading seventh. In last year's Classic, the same horse was second.
"It was a tough day for me, but I've had tougher," said Baffert, who lost his mother and father in the past two years and, in March, suffered a heart attack that nearly killed him. "When these things happen, when things go hard, you've just got to move on."
Game On Dude – and every other horse in the Classic – lost to Fort Larned, a 9-1 long shot carrying a jockey celebrating his 27th birthday and riding his first race at this track.
What's more, Brian Hernandez Jr., in a sport that plays to dreamers, never even saw himself being here.
"This is definitely career-altering," he said. "If anyone had told me in May that I was riding a Breeders' Cup horse, much less winning, I would have told them they were crazy."
But that's horse racing, which can give and take more whimsically than any sport. How fleeting is this endeavor? Remember Paul Reddam, the celebrated owner from Sunset Beach, the man who took I'll Have Another to Belmont Park in June with a shot at winning the Triple Crown?
I'll Have Another, of course, never ran in New York, the horse scratched after developing tendinitis.
On Saturday, Reddam had six horses running for Breeders' Cup honors. A hard-charging He's Had Enough finished second in the Grey Goose Juvenile, losing to Shanghai Bobby by a head.
Reddam's other finishes: seventh, ninth, ninth (out of nine), 13th (out of 14) and 13th (out of 14).
Yes, horse racing can be, to put it kindly, whimsical.
Yet, on a relentlessly clear and impossibly bright day, Santa Anita Park did its best to celebrate a sport that, believe it or not, still does exist beyond the oval at Churchill Downs and for reasons other than the Triple Crown.
Like boxing, this ancient game has aged dramatically, almost beyond recognition now, horse racing dying the same death for years. But with afternoons such as Saturday, with NBC's cameras pointed on it, the sport still photographs well.
And events such as the Breeders' Cup can turn people-watching into an Olympic sport, attracting crowds almost as electric as they are eclectic. Saturday, the flowered sundresses and feathered hats mixed with T-shirts from dive bars and ball caps turned backward.
Stage lucrative horse races and offer pari-mutuel wagering and the mass that gathers looks like a cross between an elite country club and an average Wal-Mart. Cream of the crop, salt of the earth.
At Santa Anita, there were women eager to share cleavage mingling with men trying to hide beer bellies. Some folks were wearing Zenyatta hats and others Obama pins.
Among the immaculately groomed grounds strode flip-flop-wearing men who, based on appearances, hadn't trimmed their toenails since Reagan was president.
They thrust their arms in the air in victory and spiked their worthless tickets in defeat. After the seventh race – the $1-million Turf Sprint – a man standing near the finish line simply raised his right hand and flipped off the entire track.
But the whole picture was beautiful, even if in an odd way. And who couldn't appreciate the image of jockey Willie Martinez wiping away tears after riding Trinniberg to victory in the $1.5-million Sprint.
"You can dream it, you can feel it, but when you taste it, it's a totally different thing," Martinez, 41, said of his biggest career victory. "You do this for 24 years, work so hard… This means the world to me. It really does."
Moments later, Martinez was asked another question and he choked on the answer.
"Sorry," he explained. "I'm still in that cloud."
Some were flying in the clouds, some were ground in the dirt.
And some, like those connected to Game On Dude, were left confounded and wondering.
"All of a sudden, he was flat, totally out of gas," jockey Rafael Bejarano said. "I don't know why. I can't understand it, and I can't explain it."
Whimsical, fleeting, confounding – beautifully confounding.
That is the essence of horse racing, a dying sport that continues to breathe and, for one glorious, delightful and spectacular afternoon here, was very much alive.

I wouldn't want Alan Joyce's job for quids. Okay, maybe his pay packet might be enough to tempt me to assume the Qantas (ASX: QAN) chief executive's position for a year or two, but it's not a job I'd wish on my worst enemy.
John Borghetti of Virgin Australia (ASX: VAH) doesn't have it much better.
In the blood
I assume working for – and aspiring to run – an airline must be something that gets in your blood, the way sky divers and bungy jumpers keep going back for more. It must be the case – or just that Messrs Joyce and Borghetti can't resist a seemingly insurmountable challenge.
Here are companies in one of the most competitive businesses in the world, fighting against state-owned airlines on one hand, and irrational optimists on the other. (For some reason, there's no shortage of rich people who end up with a small fortune after blowing a large one by investing in airlines.)
It's an industry characterised by excess capacity – more seats than can be profitably sold – leading to seemingly endless losses and a roll-call of failed airline companies. We've had our share of failures here – Compass (Mark I and II), Ozjet and, most famously, Ansett. And by comparison, we're doing well. Some US airlines have been through bankruptcy more than once!
Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
It's an endless cycle – profit margins are low due to price competition, so the response is to grow in size, thus taking advantage of economies of scale. You can already see the problem – growing means adding capacity, exacerbating the problem. The alternative, shrinking the airline to remove the excess capacity, means your costs per-seat-kilometre increase, making you less profitable.
Heads, you lose – tails, you still lose
And yet, rumours persist that former Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon wants to take over the company. I guess it's in his blood, too.
Remember, Qantas shares are now trading at a fraction of the price that a consortium was prepared to pay in 2006. You'd have to imagine they're still thankful every day that the deal fell through.
Amputation won't solve the problem
There's an argument that a break-up of Qantas, or a spin-off of part of the company (likely the Frequent Flyer division) would provide a nice return for Qantas shareholders. As a one-off benefit, that's likely to be true, with some estimates putting the Frequent Flyer program's stand-alone value at almost Qantas' current market capitalisation. Using that logic, you're getting the airline itself for free at today's share price.
The problem is that "free" is pretty close to all an international airline is worth. In aggregate, the whole industry has struggled to break even over the past decade – and that's not exactly the type of performance that should have investors beating down the door.
Foolish take-away
Maybe this new consortium can earn a return by breaking up the company. If they can achieve that, I guess they'll have achieved their (short-term) aims.
But unless a clearly enunciated strategy can demonstrate how the airline can be more profitably run in future, the underlying problems remain. You can sell off some of the Titanic's deckchairs, but you are still left rearranging the ones that are left.

It's too early to tell what's going to be my favorite from Thanksgiving 2011, but I know that this Barely Blanched Broccoli Salad with Feta and Fried Almonds is something I'll be making over and over. If you like broccoli, Feta, and almonds, be sure to try this dish even if you don't make it for Thanksgiving.
I'm not one of those people who minds raw broccoli in a salad, but in this recipe I thought blanching the broccoli cooked it just enough so it worked perfectly with the red wine vinegar dressing, Feta, and fried almonds.
Barely-Blanched Broccoli Salad with Feta and Fried Almonds
(Makes about 4 servings; recipe adapted slightly from Broccoli Salad with Feta, Olive Oil-Fried Almonds, and Currants from Fine Cooking, created by Tasha DeSerio.)
1 tsp. + 1/4 tsp. salt (I used kosher salt)
1 lb. broccoli crowns, trimmed and cut into same-size flowerets
1 large clove of garlic
2 T red wine vinegar
generous pinch hot pepper flakes (I used Aleppo pepper)
1 T + 4 T extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 - 3/4 cup crumbled Feta cheese (I used 1/2 cup, which I thought was enough)

• newfangled •
Pronunciation: nyu-fæng-gêld • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: (Facetious) Novel, modern, the latest, up to date, in the latest fashion.
Notes: Today's Good Word and its antonym of oldfangled "old-fashioned" are playful words, as we can see in the variants newfandangled and newphangled. They all somehow have a tint of the oldfangled about them. We are free to use it with or without the suffix -d. Newfangle works just as well, though it is a bit older than even newfangled.
In Play: Use this word to express skepticism that something is a new item that will not survive serious thought: "Morris Bedda had to bring out his newfangled electric fork at the party this weekend." This Good Word can be used to disparage someone who is up to date on everything: "Morris is so high-falutin' he has to have every newfangled gadget that comes out."
Word History: No, this word never meant "newly fangled". It is, however, a rarity in English: a genuine English word rather than a borrowing. It started out in Middle English as neufanglyd "fond of novelty", a past participle of neufangel. This word is a compound made up of neu "new" + fangel "take, catch", a distant cousin of German fangen "to catch". This verb goes back to an obsolete word, fang "to catch (a fish)" used as recently as 1877. The original sense seems to be "newly caught" or "newly seized". (Today we thank Joyce B. Rhode for suggesting the oldfangled Good Word, newfangled.)

Re: NEWFANGLED
I've often heard the word used from a 'Luddite' position, indicating a lack of understanding about what to do with something or how to operate it. "I don't understand all the ruckus about all these newfangled electronic gadgets." No implication they will not last.

I just read up a good bit about the act on section508.gov, but wanted to hear first hand from some developers who have designed a site that is 508 compliant.
My main question is, is it very time consuming to design/built a site within these specs? We are currently writing a proposal for a 15 page website, and want to make sure we cover ourselves as far as the cost goes.
If you have a good designer / developer, it shouldn't cost anything extra (most designers should automatically do it), while it's not a legal requirement for commercial websites at the moment, it's likely to become a requirement rather than a fanciful enhancement in the future. Making a website accessible just means the professional is doing their job properly and their not falling into the kind of pitfalls that (quite frankly) a beginner would hiccup over. If you want the best case scenario I would go with WCAG rather than Section 508 for compliance as WCAG is endorsed and run by the W3C and Section 508 is aimed more towards government institutions. That said, in answer to your question... if you let the designer know you need it to validate in that manner they should be able to (if their not already doing so) fairly easily. It requires very little effort or time to someone who knows their trade, it's just making some rudamentary checks to lower the usage barrier.
Thanks for taking the time to give a detailed reply. I actually am head web guy at my company so that would be me doing the designing. The company we are proposing a redo for requires the site be built with 508 in mind. They do receive state funding and are a state run program so i am assuming this is the reason for it. They are a "workforce investment board" so having all walks of life able to use their website is a must, and somewhat of a legal issue I assume. They stressed the ability to be able to have a "large text" option for the site.
Thank you again
Assuming the site is correctly coded, and CSS controls the text size using 'relative units' and the at least starts at 100% of a browser default theoretically it covers text size.
Ironically they [section508.gov] use pixel units that are relative to the viewing device though I suppose that's due to legacy and bugs with older browsers.
However, peculiarly it uses tables for layout and propriety markup.
Having run against section 508 rules just with plain old testing (for example with Cynthia Says), I have run into problems. These problems aren't usability problems, but issues like what Robert mentioned above.
For example, there's simply a rule that all in-body script elements MUST have a noscript tag. If your Javascript is written unobtrusively, this is a great way to make it obtrusive, with a tag that may or may not even appear on the user's screen (depends on how they are blocking scripts). Doing something that breaks your page in order to comply with a specific, government rule sucks balls.
If you are normally accessible- and usability-aware, as Alex said there shouldn't be any extra work involved (all your other sites have no excuse anyway : ), but there may be a bit of extra work checking for specific rules.
So, read the rules, make sure you're following them as you go. I'd love to say, follow WCAG2 (which basically just lays out scenarios that your site has to pass, technology-agnostic), but if you must be 508-compliant, you must follow it to the letter. The above-linked tool will check for the kinds of things a robot can check for, which helps. When you're finished, you may want to run your site past some other developer unfamiliar with your site to look for errors you cannot find because you're too used to the site.
I agree. Coding / designing a site that is section 508 compliant is simply about extra education not extra work or cost. It does not take any additional time or money to do 90% of accessibility work. There are always several different ways to skin any cat and you want to make those choices with accessibility in mind. If you're already building websites with best practices in mind, you'll probably find that you're already doing most of the things you need to do to make your site section 508 compliant.
A note on the Javascript comment: I recommend following separation of concerns. That's not an accessibility practice (though it is highly accessible), it's a best practice. For your Javascript, that means keeping everything as managable as possible by using one script tag for each .js file you call in, these should be the last XHTML elements before your </body> tag. I recommend it for many reasons, mostly related to keeping your sanity while programming Javascript. However, it also eliminates the need for noscript tags because your page - as is - is what you would have put inside the noscript version, and the Javascripts from the .js files make modifications to that. If Javascript is not active, they aren't applied and people get the page which solves both usability and the legal 508 compliance issue.
Having run against section 508 rules just with plain old testing (for example with Cynthia Says), I have run into problems. These problems aren't usability problems, but issues like what Robert mentioned above.
Automated accessibility checkers like Cynthia are well known for being poor substitutes for manual checking of websites Stomme. While the W3C validator has a just cause for existence as it checks the syntax of the known specification (to find obviously detectable flaws) - accessibility isn't about code or content... it's about the site (and something much more than a web checker can handle). Those checkers have been created as a poor-man's "quick fix" to attempt to automate something which computers have no ability to undertake effectively. Until we live in the world of the Terminator movie (where machines have the AI to understand contextual value and human responses) those tools are generally a bad idea - though they do at least get people thinking about accessibility.
Automated accessibility checkers like Cynthia are well known for being poor substitutes for manual checking of websites Stomme.
Not sure why you're telling me this, Alex.
I was just confirming what you had said about having problems with Cynthia (or as you called it "plain old testing" - remember that other people view these posts, the last thing we want is someone thinking... I just want to test it quickly, if it's out of the box testing then that must be a good option)
Hm, you got me thinking about Cynthia's reports... I should have done this sooner:
The "errors" it reports are not true! Cynthia is not the only tool who does this, either (HiSoftware does this too).
Section 508 does NOT require a NOSCRIPT tag where there is a script (which is great, because it would be a very very bad thing on all my sites who do actually have <script> tags in the body... they have no text equivalent, because they are written to be unobtrusive in the first place, and an enhancement).
I found Jim's page again... he had a side-by-side comparison of WCAG1 and §508: http://jimthatcher.com/sidebyside.htm the relevant area is part 6.3It seems the tools add extra encumbrance to our code I guess in order to help the tools keep developers in line.
Stomme, a bit of background, Cynthia Says and Accverify were developed by Rob Yonaitis, the founder of HiSoftware. So that is why the errors are the same. I know Rob made these due to a twitter conversation about this when HiSoftware put out a new tool. Here is a post by Rob talking about CS.
Cool, Ryan... I wanted to post the very bottom of that:
That was interesting material. I did want to caveat all that with Alex's comment, though. Accessibility is a very difficult issue to manage with application logic. It's not like XHTML and CSS which have defined logical specifications; if you're XHTML doesn't validate at W3C and your CSS won't validate at Jigsaw, there's something wrong, you fix it, and then your code is correct. Accessibility checkers don't work anything like. The measure of accessibility is not a spec but the goal "is it usable and accessible to the audience of the website". That can't be translated into a spec and so you HAVE to deal with accessibility manually. The checkers are a nice way to pick up some hints about what you can do to improve your page / design, but you have to work with them and learn what they get wrong, what they get right, and what they just plain miss. one of the most important universal design issues is to ensure that all your link text and heading text is descriptive and semantic. As I think someone around here said, we're going to have to wait for the Terminators to take over before computers can even detect that kind of problem, much less suggest a solution.

St. Louis Information
Saint Louis University's location in St. Louis, Missouri puts you close to anything and everything you like to do.
"The Arch" -- St. Louis Gateway Arch. The massive shiny structure welcomes you to the city, reminds you of St. Louis' status as the "Gateway to the West" and invites you to see the view from the top. If you only have time to visit one attraction, do the Arch. Hint: Get your tram tickets in advance; they tend to sell out early in the day.
Anheuser-Busch Brewery. Tour the historic building where Adolphus Busch manufactured the "King of Beers."
Busch Stadium, the Edward Jones Dome and the Scottrade Center. St. Louis is often called one of the nation's best sports cities. Enjoy the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, St. Louis Blues hockey team and St. Louis Rams football team at the aforementioned venues in downtown St. Louis.
Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. The "New Cathedral" is about a mile from the Saint Louis University campus and contains the largest collection of mosaics in the world, some 83,000 square feet of encrusted domes, ceilings, arches and walls. Take a tour or attend Mass.
Citygarden. One of St. Louis' newest landmarks is Citygarden, a two-block oasis in the shadows of downtown's high-rises. Walk amid lush landscaping and world-class modern sculpture, get your feet wet in the "spray plaza" or people-watch from the glass-walled gourmet café.
City Museum. Don't let the name fool you -- this isn't your typical museum. The City Museum is a wonderland for "big kids," with seven-story slides, dizzying jungle gyms and maze-like caverns, most constructed from the city's reclaimed building materials: old bricks, salvaged metal and even abandoned planes!
Forest Park.

To be able to manufacture the components of electro-pneumatic valves in production batches of millions, Nass Magnet (Hanover, Germany) invested in a new machining center with a rotary transfer machine with eight stations for double-sided machining, which came with drills from another supplier.
Nass Magnet member of the Kirchheim group that employs about 500 people who develop and manufacture electromagnetic pilot controls and valves for air, natural gases, liquids and other media as well as electromagnetic drives for valves on mobile applications.
The company's goal was to specifically increase the capacities and simultaneously reduce the manufacturing costs by a high margin. Rather than being satisfied with the delivered, turn-keyed multi-stage machining process, the goal was to use a single machining process from barstock without any secondary post machining processes. Despite thorough technical modifications and agreements with the machine tool builder, no long term satisfactory process could be achieved.
Then, Carsten Schulze, Nass Magnet supervisor of parts production as well as process development, and Hans Pauck in the tool planning and purchasing department, contacted Schwanog. Schwanog sales representative Michael Klingner summarized the requirements on site and consulted with Schwanog's engineering team in Obereschach, Germany. The continuous investment in recent years in personnel and in the design department is paying off. Despite the complex requirements, the engineers quickly found a solution, which was developed based on the Schwanog PWP-D insertable form drill system .
Because of the extra wide inserts, the PWP-D system enables the machining of bore diameters as large as 28 mm. The bore tolerances and precision required could be guaranteed by the especially wide locating surfaces and Schwanog's system accuracy.
Nass Magnet thoroughly tested the recommended Schwanog system and expressed how much the result impressed them in regard to the superior surface finish as well as tool life, the company says. With several hundred thousand drilling operations per insert, even the greatest expectations were surpassed by far.
Mr. Pauck was also impressed by the excellent collaboration of the Schwanog solution competence: "The Schwanog team is working highly efficiently, and because of their tremendous know-how, offered us a perfect solution in the shortest amount of time."

SAINT LEO, Fla – With the 2014 season on the horizon, Saint Leo men's lacrosse team will see plenty of fresh faces on the official 2014 roster, all of whom will be expected to make a positive impact both on and off the field.
The newcomers hail from various lacrosse hotbeds from around the country, with seven of the 18 calling the Sunshine State home. Four are New York natives, with two each coming from New Jersey and Ohio, while Maine, Colorado, and Massachusetts round out the list of home states.
Breaking down the list even further, the Lions will gain six defensive players, eight middies, and four attackmen. With three transfers from junior college programs, the newcomers offer not only various amounts of talent and skill, but assorted amounts of experience and veteran strength to the core of the Green and Gold.
This week's installment features the defensive newcomers Kyle Brooke, Nick Buckley, Mike Kavanagh, Robert Mendez, Gregory Miles, and Sean Thomas.
Kyle Brooke
6-0 | 230 | Goalie
St. Pete Beach, Fla.
St. Petersburg Catholic High School
Brooke played under Head Coach Jim Wiggers at St. Petersburg Catholic HS. The 6-0 defender was named to the Florida Gulf Coast Lacrosse League All-Star Game during his junior and senior seasons. Brookes was named team captain of his team his junior and senior year. During his senior year, Brooke registered 255 saves, 26 ground balls, 385 shots, 129 goals against, and a 66.0 save percentage. During his junior year, Brooke earned the Florida Gulf Coast Goalie of the Year.
Nick Buckley

The 6-2 defender helped his team to back-to-back state final-four appearances (2011-2012), and back-to-back District and Regional Championships. In 2012, he was named North Florida First Team Preseason All-American. The Ponte Vedra Beach native was selected as a member of Team Florida, as well as the Ponte Vedra Possums, and was a member of the first lacrosse team from Florida to win the Battle of the Hotbeds National Tournament held at the University of Delaware. Buckley chose Saint Leo because it offers him the unique opportunity to learn and grow as a student-athlete within a Catholic institution.
Mike Kavanagh

Smithtown High School East
Kavanagh is a four year varsity starter for Smithtown High School East, playing under the direction of Head Coach Jason Lambert.

"I ordered this for the reception at our destination wedding and it is beautiful! Also, they put directions from the ceremony to reception on the back for no extra charge! We ordered the blue border with Orange coral, a little worried it would look too colorful, but the blue is Very subtle. The card stock it was printed on, I chose no gloss, looks very classy."
"The designers were able to customize the reception cards to list my accoomdation information instead. They came out great!"
"Instead of using for reception information, we used this to direct our guests to our website with details of the destination wedding."
"I transformed the reception card into an information card for our destination wedding. I titled it "Wedding & Travel Details." I included our travel agent's name and website, the name and website of the resort and of course our wedding date and our wedding website. It turned out beautifully and arrived in less time than promised. I was thrilled with the product. I have received many compliments on this insert. I included this piece with our Save the Date magnets which were also beautiful!!! This insert fit in the same envelope as the "Save the Date" 3x5" magnet and only cost standard postage to mail."
"I am using these as reception table camera cards and put them in a frame to ask guests to use our disposable cameras to take pictures. They ended up perfect, and the staff made all of the formatting changes I requested on the first proof. Mahalo!!"

"My wedding is navy blue and gold, so these will match perfectly. I believe I changed the Table font to navy blue. The design is exactly what I was looking for, and is simple enough to not make tables look too busy. Thank you!"
"We didn't' need the reference to table number as this was a place card only, not an escort card, so we removed that, changed the colors to navy, and added a reminder about what entree people chose to the back of the card to help guests and servers alike. I love the simplicity of this suite of designs. I wanted to use the 'nuff said invites too but was vetoed by the fiance. I'm glad we got to use them for both the menu and place card."
"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"I don't have anything to say but thanks for your beautiful work. I've been your client for several months and my satisfaction is over the top :)"
"These place cards turned out beautifully. I had to order 3 colors to coordinate to entree choice for my venue. I picked a custom color for my third choice and the customer service team automatically picked a second color as accent."

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopy (say "lap-uh-ROSS-kuh-pee") is surgery that is done through small cuts (incisions) in your belly.
To do this type of surgery, a doctor puts a lighted tube, or scope, and other surgical tools through small incisions in your belly. The doctor can take out organs such as the spleen, the gallbladder, the appendix, an ovary, a fallopian tube, or part of the intestine during laparoscopy. He or she can repair a hernia or take out small tumors, cysts, or other growths. The doctor also can use laparoscopy to close a woman's fallopian tubes (tubal ligation).
In laparoscopy, recovery is usually less painful and faster than in surgery done through one large cut (called open surgery). You may also spend less time in the hospital and away from work and other activities.
Laparoscopy may cost less than open surgery. But sometimes laparoscopy takes longer, or your doctor needs to switch from doing a laparoscopy to doing an open surgery.
Typically laparoscopy leaves several scars about half an inch long. These scars fade with time.

RisenRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I'm seven times seventy,
Plus a decade more.
This has all happened before.
Red and gold, I am no liar.
My nursery will be made
From my funeral pyre.
Who am I?
HintI'm a mythical creature.
AnswerThe phoenix!
The phoenix, in mythology, is a fabulous bird that periodically regenerated itself, used in literature as a symbol of death and resurrection. According to legend, the phoenix lived in Arabia; when it reached the end of its life (500 years), it burned itself on a pyre of flames, and from the ashes a new phoenix arose. As a sacred symbol in Egyptian religion, the phoenix represented the sun, which dies each night and rises again each morning. According to Herodotus, the bird was red and golden and resembled an eagle.

Metro-North gave a record 83 million rides last year, but makes up less than one fifth of the nation's largest transit agency when it comes to funding.
The proposed $13. billion 2014 budget for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority includes $1.1 billion for the railroad serving the Lower Hudson Valley, Orange and Dutchess counties and southwest Connecticut.
By far, the largest share of the spending plan, $7.1 billion, goes to New York City's subways, most of its buses and the Staten Island Railroad. Another $1.4 billion goes to the Long Island Rail Road.
(The second largest piece, $2.3 billion, goes to paying off debt. That includes repairs to the systems following Superstorm Sandy.)
The rest would go to the agency's seven bridges and two tunnels, construction projects, headquarters operations and other expenses.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
The Seattle Seahawks' stellar season, which culminated with yesterday's 43-8 drubbing of the Denver Broncos in Sunday's Super Bowl, left me pondering some interesting parallels between what top NFL coaches like Pete Carroll and highly successful sales executives do to ensure victory on the field of battle.
Because we're based in the state of Washington, we've kept an especially keen eye on Carroll's run to the title. He was able to create a culture of winning throughout his career, at USC and now with the Seahawks. Passionate leaders like him love to win and they are able to convey that desire to their team.
Carroll follows a disciplined regimen that keys on the fundamentals and helps guarantee results: practice, practice, practice; watch tape of the competitors (and yourselves); coach the different squads; make adjustments; inspire and fire up the team; go out and win.
Here are five ways to model your sales leadership after Pete Carroll:
Practice, practice, practice. Carroll is a zealot on the importance of practice, and makes the sessions as much like a real game as possible. He pipes in crowd noises on the PA system, he invites fans, he stops for TV time outs, and he insists that his team practices better than any other football squad in the world. As a sales leader, if you don't have your reps role playing and practicing against your own team, the only way for them to get experience is to practice against a live prospect – and that's just dumb. No coach lets his team go into battle against a live opponent without practicing ad nauseam. You need to be constantly role playing, having reps practice their pitches and their sales demos to others on the team and to managers.
Play great defense. Just like Carroll's Seahawks, you need to know your competitor's "offensive squad" like the back of your hand. Through gathering sales intelligence, you have to live, sleep and breathe their strengths, their weaknesses, their go-to-market strategy and their value proposition. Based on all this knowledge, you need to determine how they plan to come at you and be ready with the killer counter-strike.
Use data to drive performance. NFL coaches obsess over numbers and stats. For instance, how an offense operates in the red zone is vastly different from how they move the ball from deep in their own territory, and data on opposing teams and players – including tendencies – helps guide the decision process. In the same way, a sales organization needs to use data to determine its strategy. If you have a rep that has trouble converting opportunities in the late stages, it signifies a much different problem than that of a rep that has difficulty transitioning cold prospects to opportunities. Use your CRM religiously so that you can go in and make adjustments where they will pay off the most; otherwise you're just guessing.
Make adjustments in real time. Top NFL coaches have learned how to be more efficient and more agile than their opponents. They continually check stats and make on-field observations to exploit weaknesses in the defense and offense, and then adjust their game and make player substitutions as the situation dictates. As a sales leader you need to be constantly in tune with your team, making changes as needs and demands evolve. For instance, this could mean moving someone from sales to account management, or developing a process for ensuring that marketing is passing the right leads to the right reps.
Keep the troops motivated and passionate. Carroll is great at firing up his team, sharing the vision, the goal and the passion, getting them to buy into it, then having them run out onto the field and mow the other guys down.
On the sales side, this happens both at the beginning of the "season" – like sale kickoffs – as well as in ongoing meetings and events. Many times sales leaders get bogged down with day-to-day operations and forget to be diligent about patting players on the back when they perform. You can use motivational tactics like playing a rep's favorite song over the PA each time they close a certain-sized deal, or using a constantly updated leaderboard that everyone can see.
OK, so the performance of your sales team won't be broadcast to a global TV audience, and people won't be organizing house parties and cooking chili as they watch the reps strut their stuff. But that doesn't mean you can't learn a thing or two from Carroll's handling of the Seahawks as you look to up your game and march down the field to victory!

DANCING comedy duo Twist and Pulse will be stopping by the teach Worcester dancers the art of "Streetomedy".
After a successful first six months in business, Beat Breakerz School of Dance has secured Ashley Glazebrook (aka Twist) and Glen Murphy (aka Pulse) to show its dancers how to combine street dance and comedy.
After coming second in 2010's Britain's Got Talent by performing routines filled with glides, heel toes, pop lock and drops, the classic wave, some shuffles, and adding in miming, talking, pretend fighting and The Cheeky Girls.
Principal Amie Harris said she arranged the workshop, which takes place at Perdiswell Leisure Centre on Saturday, April 19, to celebrate with the dancers who have already signed up for classes in Worcester.
"Children will learn a funky street dance routine and perform it back with the boys. Then Twist and Pulse will perform for our students and children will have the opportunity to have pictures taken with the boys and have signed autographs," she said.
The school has now extended its classes into Malvern and Droitwich, as well as around the city, and a team has been put together to start competing against other dance troops.
Miss Harris said: "I have auditioned and put together a fantastic Junior Team which will represent Beat Breakerz in all performances, shows and competitions. We have only been working together for five weeks as a team and we have our first competition on the April 27 in Stoke-on-Trent.
"People usually wait months before entering competitions but I am so confident and believe in the children - they have so much talent."
The Junior Team will also be performing at the Guild Hall on May 3 to promote Youth Arts in associations with Worcester Community Trust.
There are limited space left for the three-hour Twist and Pulse workshop, which is open to the public, for £36 per person running from 12.30pm until 3.30pm.
Street dance classes for children and adults run Monday to Saturday each week. For more information visit beatbreakerzschoolofdance.co.uk, or call 07715 638711.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Bumblebee nests → Thread
Morning all
It appears that I may have a nest in our "Slow worm city" compost bin.
I say 'may' as yesterday when I lifted the lid to see how the resident slow worms (20+) were getting on, I noticed 3 B Ter; workers moving about on top of the shedded paper.
I'm assuming that they can both live happily together, as the slow worms have been living and breeding in there for the last 3 years.
Does anyone else have any experience of this ?
Not really bee related but I am very interested in your slow worm compost bin, as I do have slow worms in my garden but would like to increase their numbers.
How is the compost bin constructed and what do you put on and what do you not put on ?
Sound like you have a B.terrestris nest which would be great. Compost heaps/bins are a common nesting site for bumblebees.
Hi Kevin,
The bin is just one of those round plastic types with the front opening for access to the rotted compost and a lift off lid.
Since the Slow worms took up residence 3 years ago, I've not added anything during the year until the end of the growing season, when I've put all the old plants & veggies that have finished along with any pot plants and hanging baskets. Early part of this year we shredded a lot of old house hold bills and put the shreddings in the bin then wet it down and left it.
We don't disturb or use the compost in this bin at all, we leave it for them to live in….. Hence it's called 'Slow worm city.'
Last night I had another look and again there was a couple of B Ter; walking about on the paper. As I was watching, one of them disappeared under the paper and I assume down one of the many holes the Slow worms use.
If they are nesting in there, I have no idea how they are getting in & out of the bin as I haven't seen any coming or going by them. The ony thing I can think of is they are using one of the Slow worm tunnels as an entry and exit point !!!!
If and when I find out how they're getting in and out, I'll update the post.
Kind regards….... Peter
Keep us posted.
one last question- is the bin in the sun or shade ?
Hi Kevin,
Most of the time it's in sun light (when we get any that is!) and often when we lift the lid, they are laying against the wall facing the sun. Except in the hottest part of a very warm sunny day.

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?!? Yeah, me neither. I don't have strong feelings one way or another about the outcome of Super Bowl 2014, although I suppose I'll cheer for Denver because Peyton Manning is a force to be reckoned with, even at the ripe old age of 37. Impressive. In any event, what I really love about Super Bowl parties is the opportunity for some good eats. Still wondering what to make for today's game? I've got some ideas to get you started. Did you know vegetarians make the best party food? It's true. Just click the title to see the recipe for each. Go Team!

ORLANDO, Fla. - Crews continued their efforts Tuesday in the search for a mother of three as investigators announce they still consider this to be a missing person case.
The Orlando Police Department held a news conference Tuesday morning to announce it has no new leads in its search for Michelle Parker, 33.
That was the first time investigators spoke publicly regarding their investigation into Parker's disappearance since the search for her began Friday.
Investigators said they have found some items, but they still cannot find Parker's cellphone. Parker's Hummer H3 was found over the weekend.
Parker went missing Thursday after dropping off her 3-year-old twins, and less than two hours after an episode of "People's Court" aired that she appeared in with her ex-boyfriend, Dale Smith, who is also the father of the twins.
Her boyfriend, Nathan Mitchell, said his emotions have run the gamut.
"Lot of pain, lot of anger, lot of emotions," said Mitchell.
Mitchell said he talked and texted Parker several times Thursday, the last time at 3:15 p.m.
Search crews are spread across Orange County to search for Parker, including crews who are scouring an area near Wedgefield in east Orange County.
Crews have already searched an area near the Jesse Black Saloon on Oak Ridge Road, and another group also traveled to the Walden Palms condos on Vineland Road, which is where Parker's Hummer was recovered by police.
Volunteers guided by the family also searched the Belle Isle area in Orange County on Tuesday. Volunteers said they were trying to cross off all areas in south Orlando in the search for Parker.
Parker's mom, Yvonne Stewart, made rounds Tuesday morning on several national talk shows to bring attention to the case.
She has said she believes her daughter may have been abducted or kidnapped and could still be alive.
"My daughter's life is so important to me, I love her with all my heart and soul. she would be here doing the exact same thing for me. I'm not stopping 'til we bring her home. I feel very close that within the next day, maybe even today, we're going to find a clue," Stewart said.
Stewart said she has received a big tip regarding Parker's car, but police would not comment on any new information.
Investigators have not named Smith as a person of interest and say he has cooperated with their efforts.
OPD said it has 16 officers, as well as help from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, dedicated to finding Parker.
Parker was described as a white woman, about 5 feet 6 inches tall with short dark brown hair.
Anyone with information about Parker's whereabouts is urged to call the Orlando Police Department at 321-235-5300.

Manhunt users who are over 40 now have an additional resource from the site aside from the cruise-chat-connect option for which it's come to be known. The site's health resource Manhunt Cares announced today it's new Sex Over 40 resource for "older gay and bisexual men." The site teams up with Dr. Loren Olsen, author of Finally Out: Letting Go of Living Straight, in providing information to this demographic.
I'm rather fascinated by this announcement. I had no idea that hitting 40 "can be brutally intimidating" and I'm trying to correlate the idea of the sex toy study as the partial basis for this new resource. Anyway, their hearts are in the right place and since I'll be part of this demographic soon, well, one more resource couldn't hurt. Below is the full press release:

North Plainfield, N.J. -- A Thursday report by Levin Management Corp. found that leasing activity in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania improved in 2012.
According to Levin, much of the existing Class A vacancy has been absorbed, and yet leasing momentum continues. Additionally, following a period dominated by growth among value-oriented concepts, 2012 brought stepped-up leasing by restaurants as well as personal services, gyms and other tenants providing non-essential goods and services, said Levin, which reflects a renewed confidence in consumer spending and continued economic improvement.
Levin saw increased activity in the dining category, particularly through targeted regional growth by Chipotle, Moe's Southwest Grill and Smashburger.
Supermarkets also were active, as national chains Stop & Shop and ShopRite, along with specialized grocers like Fairway Market, smaller formats such as Fresh Market, and specialized local shops geared toward a neighborhood's ethnicity all are expanding regionally.
Apparel, on the other hand, presents a mixed bag, said Levin. Purely value-driven concepts like TJ Maxx, Marshall's and Ross continue to do well and add locations. Some higher-end retailers, including Chico's, are expanding as sales rebound while others are weeding out underperforming stores. The middle tier still is feeling a pinch in terms of sales volume and ongoing consolidations.
Ultimately, reported Levin, the level and scope of new leasing activity in 2012 indicates that retail has again entered a positive trajectory.

Meet Tara Diana Cushing
Bejeweled Provides Rewards and Relaxation for Busy Psychotherapist
Tara Diana Cushing may be in her sixties, but that doesn't mean she can't appreciate a good game! As a psychotherapist from Olympia, Washington, Diana spends her days helping others in personal counseling. While the work is rewarding, it can take a toll.
"My work involves extremely complex problems which rarely give me much feedback, except over a long term," Diana says. "I like, maybe even need, to have some place in my life where the problems are less complex, more solvable, give immediate feedback, and are absorbing enough to erase other thoughts from my mind." She has long been using computer games—particularly PopCap games—to help her relax and mentally "check out." Before Bejeweled 2, Diana considered herself a Bookworm fan. But once she stumbled across the gem-swapping masterpiece, she says, it was love at first sight. "I played for as long as the free trial lasted, and purchased B2 promptly when it ran out. Bejeweled 2 has most of what I'd want in a game, and then some." It even provides the immediate feedback she wants in her everyday life: "I'm a praise junkie," she admits, "and just love the verbal feedback that says 'Good,' 'Excellent!' and 'Incredible!!!' in that wonderfully authoritative voice. I think this game is an amazing piece of work, and the more I play it, the more I think so."
But Diana plays for more than just virtual praise and relaxation. Playing Bejeweled keeps her thinking sharp without ratcheting up her stress—which, given her family history, is very important to her. "I use computer games as 'mental exercise' to postpone the onset of Alzheimer's as long as possible," she says. "My mother died of it. I prefer the puzzle games as exercising many aspects of cognition which are otherwise missing in my life."
So what's next for this Bejeweled addict? "I recently was granted permission to play Twilight mode, which adds another whole dimension to the experience," she says. "I especially like the way the reinforcing voice becomes positively lugubrious at this level—at least it does on our computer," Diana laughs. "B2 is truly a brilliant game, and I look forward to future versions of Bejeweled!"

A SECOND century within a fortnight from Phillip Hughes was pivotal in Australia winning its final ODI against Sri Lanka to salvage a two-all series draw.
Hughes's well-paced 138 not out ensured Sri Lanka had to chase a target of 248 at Bellerive Oval, rather than the sub-200 target that Australia was on track for until its mid-innings surge.
A sixth-wicket stand of 79 led by Angelo Mathews gave Sri Lanka hope of a decisive 3-1 series victory in front of a crowd of 8102 but it fell 32 runs short of Australia, all out for 215 in the second-last over.
The weakening of Australia's batting line-up, through the inclusion of batting all-rounder Glenn Maxwell for the injured Michael Clarke, prompted stand-in captain George Bailey to install Matthew Wade as opener and push Hughes to three. It did not pay off, as Warner underestimated the gentle spin of Tillakaratne Dilshan on 10 and Wade was trapped in front by Nuwan Kulasekara on 23. Wade compounded his misjudgement by challenging the umpire's decision. The rejection continued Australia's awful record of referrals during the ODI series, with five failures from five attempts - late six from six when it was in the field. Fortunately none of Wade's teammates suffered from that error.
The momentum Hughes generated from his ODI debut earlier this month - when he scored a century - had completely dissipated by the time he arrived in the seventh over, given he had scored seven runs across his three subsequent innings.
While Hughes scoring a second century in just his fifth match was unprecedented by an Australian - Steve Smith, from nine matches in the early 1980s had been the fastest - even more significant than that record was his ability to be able to recover from a subdued start.
At the 20-over mark of Australia's innings the 24-year-old had a strike-rate below 50 and had conceded two maiden overs to Sri Lanka's bowlers, a liability in limited-overs matches.
Even when he reached his half-century, from 82 deliveries, there was an obvious parallel to last summer's ODI at Blundstone Arena, when inexperienced Queenslander Peter Forrest contributed 104 not out but required 138 deliveries to do so.
With Australia not reaching 100 until the 29th over it seemed another century could be overshadowed by having been achieved in a losing total. Similarly, that the third-wicket partnership between Hughes and Bailey (17 off 43) produced 60 runs was secondary to it absorbing a third of Australia's total deliveries.
When Australia's innings finished at 5-247 Hughes was on 138 and his strike-rate had recovered sufficiently to finish at just under 90, an acceptable pace for a batsman able to occupy the crease for 43 overs and make the majority of his team's score.
Mahela Jayawardene's final innings as captain started superbly as he surged to a run-a-ball 38 as his team reached 0-57 after 12 overs. Sri Lanka then ceded that momentum through its inability to handle Xavier Doherty. The left-armer's superb opening spell of 3-13 from seven overs included the key wicket of Jayawardene in a stint in which the visitors conceded 4-20 within nine overs.

John was accustomed to having Superhero status with his family, friends and business colleagues. He was handsome, strong, witty and had been a motivated executive in his company for many years. Recently, as he was leaving a long day at work, he caught a glimpse of his reflection and was shocked at what he saw. He was unable to recognize the defeated, unhappy, overweight, and tired version of "Superhero" John. He felt the weight of the world on his shoulders but was completely unmotivated to do anything about it. So he began to wonder: is perception the reflection of what is going on inside of you?
Are you aware of how others perceive you? Are you reflecting health, vitality, strength, and mental sharpness? The message you are sending out to the world may not be the one you would like. Your mind, body and spirit are intricately connected and when well balanced, you are at your best. These days so many productive, hardworking business people are feeling the effects of long-term stress: weight gain, lack of motivation, less energy, more irritation, less loving and less tolerance.
Remember you only have one chance to make a great impression; sometimes perception is everything. You are your best asset, and you may need to take time to focus on the Superhero in you.
Which Superhero are you reflecting?
Super Man – The ultimate hero is sharp, clear thinking, loving, energetic, fit and ready to help others. Success seems to come easy to both in his career and home-life. His stress and sex hormones are in balance; he exercises regularly and practices great nutritional habits. Superman sleeps deep and sound, waking up refreshed and ready to save the world. He is able to balance his drive and motivation with kindness and patience to his employees. Those that work with him admire and respect him. He makes sound decisions and facilitates the growth of his company.
The Hulk –You wouldn't like this hero when he is angry. He experiences rage at the smallest things, flying off the handle at work and at home. He is struggling with weight gain around the middle, due to elevated cortisol because of high stress levels. He tries to make it to the gym consistently to work off some steam, and that weight gain, but nothing seems to help. His stress glands are taking a beating by having to stay in fight or flight mode most of the time, this puts him at risk for decreased immunity and increased recovery time after illness. Sometimes sleeping is a challenge if he is wired and his mind is racing, so often times he will have to rely on caffeine and other stimulants to keep him alert during the day. His employees have learned to read his mood before approaching him with problems during the workday.
Homer Simpson – As lovable as Homer can be, he is definitely lacking some Superhero qualities. He is overweight, a heavy drinker, makes poor nutritional choices, is a couch potato, and unmotivated to set the world on fire at work. He has a potbelly, abrasive personality, and is losing his hair! Good thing Marge loves him. At mid-life, Homer's sex hormones are starting to decline, decreasing his libido, contributing to weight gain, making him grumpy, and unmotivated to get off the couch. His stress glands (adrenals) are probably fatigued due to poor nutrition, drinking and lack of exercise. His co-workers are fond of him, but often will circumvent him when trying to finish a product due to his lack of motivation.
Austin Powers – He is a shagadelic example of someone who has it going on internally, but his outer appearance is somewhat misleading. He may be overlooked initially for career opportunities because of his unprofessional appearance; but if given enough time, he can usually prove his worth. He is sharp, witty, and brave, has a healthy libido, and for the most part is physically fit. His hormones are balanced and he manages the stress in his life with flair. He makes decent food choices and doesn't over-indulge in alcohol. He sleeps well with whomever he entices into bed with him. The only thing Austin needs is a power smile, haircut and a stylist! Others would perceive him as healthy and successful that much sooner with a few surface improvements.
Balancing your Circle of Health consists of four key components: hormones, nutrition, nervous system, and purification.
- Hormones. As men age, hormones like testosterone and growth hormone start to naturally decline. If these imbalances are corrected, men may have the advantage of an increased libido, maintaining leanness and muscle mass, staying sharp and focused, and maintaining their edge at work.
- Nutrition. Because every cellular activity in your body requires the proper nutrients, it is very important to feed yourself healthy food and quality supplements. You have to have the appropriate fuel, to operate as a superhero. For example, B vitamins are important for energy and the production of hormones; whereas, vitamin D3 is important for immunity and fighting cancer.
- Nervous System. Proper levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine will keep moods even, tempers in check, creativity alive, and those around you happy. Proper amounts of amino acids are essential for neurotransmitter production. Supplements such as 5-HTP and amino acids, along with moderate exercise can improve your neurotransmitter levels.
- Purification. A superhero's world is full of toxicities. Preservatives in foods, pollution in air, lead in paint, aluminum in deodorant are examples of toxicities in all areas of life. Alcohol and prescription/non-prescription drugs can also be considered toxins. To perform at the highest level, purification of cleansing organs like the liver and kidneys is very beneficial.
So, how are you being perceived? Are you reflecting your health or the lack thereof? You can control your reflection for a while, until age or poor health take over. It is important to put your best foot forward in this world. Perception can be critical in a job hire, promotion, sale or deal. You can still be the Superhero you were destined to be by taking a few crucial steps toward health. Bring the superhero back; he is inside you, just waiting to burst out. Who knows, someone may mistake you for Clark Kent!!!

The Heron and the FishTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
A heron caught a fish in his bill and was carrying it alive back to his nest. Worried about his own life, the fish was thinking hard to find a way to free himself. Coming up with a bright idea, he then said to the heron,
"Birdie, I've learned that you're a smart bird, and I'm dying to know if it's true. Can you do me a favor before I die? I will ask you one question. If your answer is right, take me to your home and feed your chicks. If it's wrong, just eat me right now. But if it's too hard for you to answer, then please set me free. Will you accept the bet?"
The heron thought it was a sure win because even if he couldn't find the answer, he'd just simply say something wrong. Either way the fish would die. So he agreed immediately.
The fish then asked a simple question. The heron then realized that he would lose for sure. So he had to drop the smart fish back to the waters, having learned a good lesson.
What was the question that saved the fish's life?
AnswerThe fish simply asked any non-yes/no question he wished. Remember, the fish was carried in the heron's bill. Whatever answer the bird might give, he would have to open his bill and thus free the fish.
You might ask how then did the heron agree to the bet in the first place? He simply nodded his head.

AN all embracing war memorial for the town will also recognise anyone who has served Bromsgrove residents it has been revealed.
The Advertiser has been reporting on the plans for the memorial since it was first called for in 2009, following the tragic death of teenage Bromsgrove soldier Private Robert Laws earlier that year.
Ian Riley, secretary of the Bromsgrove Armed Forces Memorial Fund (BAFMF) which was set up to raise £50,000 for the memorial, says a pledge of £20,000 from Bromsgrove District Council guarantees the memorial will be in place for Armed Forces Day next June.
The council's cabinet members agreed to give the amount to BAFMF at its meeting on November 7, and it leaves the fund-raisers only £5,000 short.
Mr Riley said: "The council's support has been fantastic.
"It means there is no doubt the memorial will be ready for Armed Forces Day."
The main side of the memorial will honour those in the Armed Forces currently serving and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Mr Riley said council leader Roger Hollingworth raised with BAFMF the possibility of having an inscription on the opposite side, recognising the contribution of those serving in the emergency services, after he was approached by townsfolk with the idea.
Mr Riley said this has now been agreed, and the opposite side will include the words: "In recognition of those brave individuals who have given their lives, been injured in the line of duty, or are still serving and protecting our communities."
Councillor Hollingworth welcomed the news: "I had emails and calls from people about this.
"They said to me: 'What about the rest of the people who risk their lives on a daily basis in this country?'
"It is good news."
In the run up to Christmas BAFMF is to hold street collections, and in February Bromsgrove Rugby Club will hold a fund-raiser.

The Corsham Co-op badly damaged in a ram raid attack on Thursday has now re-opened.
The store on Macie Drive was broken into around 11.20pm when two men reversed a stolen van into the front doors. Nothing was taken in the raid, which police believe was targeted at a free-standing cash machine.
Fire crews worked through the night to make the structure safe after the crash, before structural engineers were called to stabilise the frontage.
The store was back open for business on Saturday through the rear entrance, while the front doors remain boarded up pending more building work.
Wiltshire Police are still appealing for witnesses who saw the men fleeing the scene in a white car on Thursday night.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Melksham CID on 101, or to call Crimestoppers anonymously.

if everyone woud just stop replying to anything he/she posts, maybe it will go away,..hopefully.
when I am 47 like all you guys,
I am not going to argue with a 15 year old on a wave prediction site.
I would venture to guess that when most of us were 15 we would not have been trying so hard to be an ass. And besides, for all you know someone on this site might be your daddy, kid. So maybe you should wise up some, or you may not be lucky enough to make it to 47.
Thank you, and so is yours.
