Posted by Phil on June 22nd, in the afternoon | 254 comments
it's happening
Our lady queen of victory.....pray for us.
Holy shit!
i need new pants
i just ran over to a guy i work with that lives on winchester, showed him this picture, and told him that's going to be blowing up over his house
just for clarification, those are ours. apparently the total order weighed in at about 880lbs
so is there anything else we need to get for filler or anything like that?
Next Saturday I want to get roman candles, black cats, sparklers and maybe some cheap shells.
i almost bought some snakes. Could have gotten 720 packs for $40
Do we need to have an ambulance, or at minimum, a burn kit on hand?
are the exterms in there?
Bourbon street part 2 over. Tonight we add Barry to the mix.
I miss me some N'Awlins.

Beer passing skills. Something for you all to work on by the fourthhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...p;v=qec8hPzqHBk
I guess you all could build this for next year to really make it look as it you are gonna blow up St. Matthewshttp://www.instructables.com/id/Fir...rks-Controller/

I heard my phone going off and I was pretty concerned someone had died. I should have assumed I was getting a text rundown of a jazz song at 1 in the morning.I must say it was some damn impressive work on transcribing the lyrics.
I assumed you were drunk at a bar too.

it was tough to top drunk baby

Kickball hurts the most somehow.
So this 4th is well on it's way to awesomeness.
Neighbor down the street that competes with us on fireworks is moving to new Hampshire. We have to give him a good farewell competition.
Its really not much of a competition
We let him dream
So firework retrieval process is being executed tomorrow after work. My truck, douglas' van, pat's suv and phil's car. Should this be enough to get things to my house?I still plan to spend a few bucks in Indiana Saturday afternoon. Anyone in with me? Either tomorrow or Saturday i would like some help moving a couch and the ping pong table as well.
so what's the plan for after work? where we getting them?
so our a/c at work is not working, i dont' see me working a full day today
plan is to meet at my office at 5:45. Address is 2080 Nelson Miller ParkwayAnd praying for rain
is it hot enough for the fireworks to go off in my backseat?
that's what she said?
yeah it is
this video about a step being jacked up off the NYC subway is worth watching just for the dude at the endhttp://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/loca...-160629545.html
I just shed a tear looking at these fireworks.
Pretty anticlimatic video Phil
Holy shit, Anthony Davis went to New Orleans!
that dude at the end cracked me up. i might need mental help
i'm starting to worry about the 4th

Why you worried Phil, to damn dry?
yep. but it looks like isolated thunderstorms on Sunday hopefully.Can you text me a picture of your truck?
(loaded with fireworks, of course)
What are your plans for this picture? Use it to get chicks?
people are doubting the haul
Haters gonna hate.
Anybody got an iPod with decent music? My computer with all my music is dead and my neighbor is trying to fix it.
Got all my music on a portable hard drive. I think i an get this to work. My neighbor was clutch saving my computer. Who would've thought a 60+ year old women would be a computer genius. My video and network cards are fried from spilling beer on it.
Mayor Fischer on the firework ban:He said people will surely leave Louisville to buy fireworks in neighboring counties or in Indiana."Our citizens will go there to buy them, and bring them home and use them," he said. "And the police probably won't write them a ticket."
Smart dude
If he's comfortable helping indianas economy, then so am I
Leaders of the fireworks industry, which brought in nearly $1 billion in sales nationally in 2011, question whether firework bans are legal. Steve Graves, executive director of the Indiana Fireworks Association, said people should be given credit for common sense.Indiana law allows fireworks from June 29 to July 9 regardless of whether local burn bans are in place. Some communities have declared drought disaster emergencies to enact bans in an attempt to get around the law."Instead of talking about safety, they decided to treat Hoosiers like they're a bunch of idiots that can't think for themselves," Graves said.
Hoosiers ARE a bunch of idiots who can't think for themselves.
I was talking with someone from Missouri and they literally call people that can't think for themselves "fuckin' hoosiers"
But isn't the ban on Jefferson county
Does this mean a police raid on Wednesday has gone up exponentially?
No burn ban yet. Everything we have has always been illegal. I just fear a burn ban would cause popo to actually enforce fireworks.
We just might need to have a special cop 12 pack available as hush money
Mmmmmmm jello shots.
Adrian and I just did something amazing with fireworks
Just one of many of our finale boards ....http://imgur.com/CPYm8
holy shit, you all are fucking nuts
What was our final count, like 144 pro shells, 24 500 gram repeaters, and like 46 200 gram ones? That one board only has 2 shells, 3 500s, and 5 200s. We gon have a good time
My grandmas bday party was tonight, and I had about four uncles ask me about the fireworks pic I put on Facebook. Two of them were genuinely scared for my life and started lecturing me about fireworks safety.
10,000 gram finale
The last board was clutch. Really tied it all together.
All sparklers and smoke bombs
I agree
What?! No snake finale?!
you can always save the snake finale for when you get home
I am aware there will be enough firepower on Wednesday to invade Canada, but what was the food plan?What items need to be brought to supplement the cheese ball and sausage queso?
Ultimate goal is to invade Tuvalu and rename it Nattyland.
goal for wednesday, don't be these guys:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5jI92Ht99Y
motherfuckin' bootleg fireworks shit
Nice video, Douglas. Stupidity and fireworks don't mix.
Phil is bringing the meat. I think he said he would bring hamburgers hot dogs and bats for everyone.
Eating bats this year? Tribute to Ozzy?
New water balloon slingshot acquired today.
dadboner going off on the fourth:Karl Welzein @DadBonerCan't believe we have to work today. And tomorrow. And THURSDAY?! Really steamed.HOW? Are AMERICANS!? Expected to get blackout drunk on the 4th, THEN come to work the next day?! Someone should do somethin'. Maybe Barry O.YOU CAN'T JUST HAVE THE BIGGEST HOLIDAY FOR THE USA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK BY ITSELF!!! So disgusted. Wanna puke, you guys. How am I supposed to prepare for the 4th celebraish at WORK? I gotta buy cold ones, make my Bratato salad, do other stuff. So stressed.What if NO ONE went to work on the 3rd & 5th? You pieces of trash. What're you gonna do? Fire the country for bein' respectful Americans!?The 3rd is for preparin for war. The 4th is for drinkin & blowin up crap. 5th is for relaxin. Everyone forget what made this country great?We get a crap load off at Christmas for somethin' everyone doesn't believe in. But ONE day for the USA? A celebraish for ALL? Ain't right. Know WHY no one does anything 'bout the workin' man havin' the 3rd & 5th off? 'Cause the rich honchos who run things already do, you guys.So sick of this.
These burn bans are making me nervous.
Anyone have a sprinkler? Bring it Wednesday. During fireworks I am thinking we can have a sprinkler in every yard. I feel like that is a nice precaution if they try to shut us down.
I think a minimum of 4 sprinklers will make it look like we care and are being safe.
The hot, dry weather has prompted burn bans in Clark, Floyd, Oldham and Bullitt counties in Kentucky and Indiana. Jeffersonville enacted its own ban June 27, and the Clarksville Fire Department recommended a ban Monday night, said Fire Chief Tom Upton.But the burn bans do not include fireworks, even though some firefighters wish they might.Louisville Fire Marshall William Bowman strongly urged residents to refrain from using fireworks on their property. And, if they must use them, Bowman said people should keep a water hose or a bucket of water handy, in case something goes wrong.
Just opened the Slingshot and it seems small. Maybe it will stretch out. Says will travel 300 feet. definitely smaller then the other slingshots we have used.
it looks like it's about to rain pretty good this morning, so i'm not too worried about the whole burn thing. if we have hoses and stuff out we'll be fine
Wasn't there storms in Louisville over the weekend?
more water the better. still pretty dry out there
against the grain is making a stout aged in pappy van winkle barrells.this is the logo for it: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...063330712_n.jpg
how awesome of a bartender are you if the NY Times writes up you getting fired?http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes..../?smid=tw-share
joe, you need to swing by kohls to get this bad boy for tomorrowhttp://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/men...Sam+Tux+Tee.jsp
So Phil,The article about the bartender mentions the owner of the bar as Philip Scotti. Is that your alias? Are you really a tavern magnate in New York?...OR, as is more likely the case, were you simply searching your name on Google and came across the article?
holy shit, i actually spaced on the dude's name. that's awesome.The real story isn't sexy, I just saw the article on the against the grain twitter feed
That shirt is amazing
Everything is coming together splendidly.
We are accepting song requests for busm.
Disappointed active duty military chick from fort knox bailed on the parade in fatigues.
Hail Mary attempt for sparklers and remote control airplane sent.
America, Fuck Yea!
Once the horses arrive we got a party.
That statement could take the party in very different directions.
What time is anyone coming over?
BUSM 2012http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnax...p;feature=share
Unfucking believable. Almost 9 minutes worth of that shit? Stong work. I assume there were no cops called and no fires?
no legal issues whatsoever, the finale, for the most part, went off without a hitch. i think i had a hard on for the majority of that nine minutes. when i went to look in a mirror when we were done, i had shrapnel covering my entire head and face
san diego took notes from last years BUSM with their fireworks show.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ifn8LJl5n0
better viewhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI-2...feature=related
I think the only minor injury was from a sparkler falling on Ty's foot
Blow Up St. Mathews aftermath ....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSCpSw_qjTw
i took a chunk of flaming shrapnel to the face
were you burned?
just hurts. It tagged me in the face and then landed on my shirt. it burned that a bit.I think Theresa also got the fireworks recorded. I'll see about getting that up on youtube. In retrospect we should have gotten something with a tripod setup on Joe's roof.Always next year....
Shrapnel from down the street, not us, right?
i believe it was from us, just a rogue shell that didn't get enough lift I guess. Neighbors were a menace. I don't think they were able to light anything without it going off straight at people.
sportsguy33: 4th of July is like one super-slow home run trot around the bases as the English stare us down from the mound. Suck it England!
This place is dead.
So I cut the neighbor across the streets grass. Most of the firework remnants are now ground up pretty fine. Instead of coming home and saying what the fuck happened to my yard it will be who cut my grass.
"the lawnmower bandit"next step: tastefully mulch and plant flowers when they are gone again.
after the horses were there yesterday you could've strategically placed fertilizer in her yard as well
so i've gotten nothing but extreme compliments on the finale video from last night at work today. everyone seems to be legitimately impressed that i was not only not blowing smoke up their ass about our show, but that we more than covered their expectations
We raised the parade and firework bar. At some point we may need to relocate the fireworks.
going to be tough to top this year in the current location without risk of serious injury or someone being arrested.
Got a message from Fish's wife. They live 2 streets over. She said they enjoyed the fireworks from their Front window.
http://thebiglead.com/index.php/201...tory-explosion/What I thought last night was going to look like.
That was a pretty bad ass show...well done!
Everyone back to normal? Anyone else off work today?
Brent,Planning on doing some sprint tri's next year. I know I need a road bike, goggles and running shoes. What all do you recommend I need that is essential? Gear,clothes accessories etc...
i'm at work, i was hurting yesterday at work though, couldn't keep my eyes open in the afternoon
How many of you worked yesterday? Did the watermelon and cherries get polished off?
Cherries we did a number on. Watermelon never made it out of the fridge.
Rookies.I not only worked today and yesterday - I got up and drove to Nashville Thursday morning and I'm taking a standardized test today.I haven't taken a standardized test in over a decade, should be fun.
http://movies.msn.com/movies/articl...spx?news=741229Even actors portraying baseball players are juicing. Didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I'm pretty sure he had a pitching double for the role too.
i'm an expert at major league trivia! Charlie Sheen was throwing 85mph in the movie, but they moved the mound up ten feet to make it look like he was throwing 100+
@DadBonerHad a rockin' 4th. Musta been 'cause I don't remember large portions of it. And the parts you don't remember are usually the best.
In the new show anger management Charlie plays an ex-major league catcher.

A special thank you to those who confused a laundry hamper and a garbage can. Yes the hamper was next to the fridge in the basement, that was my bad. I hope jello shot washes out. There were also a large number of bottle caps.
Adrian, a few things that you shouldnt go cheap on: goggles, bike shorts. I know you said you are only doing tris but the chamois (padding) in tri shorts are minimal so you will need a good pair of bike shorts for your training. Dont buy anything like a gel seat or seat cushion. It takes awhile but eventually, your ass won't be sore anymore, no homo (i.e. from riding the bike, excluding all your other extracurricular activities of course). It's nice to have a cyclo computer to measure your speed and distance, nothing fancy, just something wireless that is around $30. Also, if you are looking to get gear I would suggest buying most of it on nashbar.comIf you need an entry level bike, I would buy it on bikesdirect.comFor any equipment you need to buy locally, like shoes, Clarkesville Schwinn gives you the best deal. He moves on his price, the worst place you can buy anything is Bicycle Sport in St. Matthews, biggest ripoff in town. Any specific questions, just call me.
Thank you. I was just looking for a new pair of bike shoes.
if I was willing to wager, Sara Potts would be the guilty party on the laundry hamper
Just think of those clothes as being tie dyed now
Just found a budweiser bottle that has been in the freezer since Wednesday. Yum. All that is left is budweiser bottles and smirnoff ice.
At least everyone had good enough taste to leave the Smirnoff ice alone
Somebody is getting ice'd next time the are over here. Is that still cool?
I don't ever recall that being cool
Who brought the Smirnoff Ice?They should have to do the walk of shame by coming back over and taking that shit home. Whenever you take a couple bottles of anything to a party, if it goes untouched that is a good sign to not show up with that shit again.

About to see midnight show of Batman. I can't remember the last time I went to a midnight show, must've been college. Its not that I am highly anticipating the movie - its because we have a babysitter. Sign #45 that I'm old.
good? bad? worth going to as soon as possible?
Its good. I would definitely see it in theaters. I liked the 2nd movie better, but that was because Heath Ledger owned the Joker role and its tough to beat. I have to give credit though - Bane was a solid villain.If last night was any indication - the 20 or so midnight or later shows at the nearest 3 theaters in town we sold out - this movie may break some records.
i'd be willing to bet a lot of people are freaked out by the shooting and won't go see it.

Sitting down on their living room couches Friday after running a few household errands, mothers across the nation told their children today to "buckle the fuck up" for the 2012 London Olympic Opening Ceremony, adding that the event was sure to be "one hell of a wild-ass ride.""Hold on to your hats, motherfuckers, because you're about to get knocked on your asses by some real goddamned pageantry," said local mother Sarah Foster, 46, telling her children Daniel, 8, and Cindy, 14, that the three-hour plus broadcast was going to feature "an ever-loving shitload of colorful choreography." "As soon as Greece gets out there and that Parade of Athletes gets going, shit's gonna get buck wild, believe me.""Hope you're ready, bitches," Foster added while folding laundry.http://www.theonion.com/articles/na...uckle-th,28962/

Everyone's familiar with trading properties, picking up "Chance" cards, and exchanging colorful fake money during the game of Monopoly. For many of us, this simple board game was our first introduction into handling cash and doing our best to invest it wisely. Monopoly continued to entertain and educate us with the early millennium release of the Electronic Banking Edition, where card transactions replaced traditional dollar bills. Who doesn't love a board game that includes fun tech-gadgets and still lets you play with money?
Technology has not only influenced the game of Monopoly, but also the banking industry, where changes in their infrastructure and management practices happen quickly due to an increasingly technological society. In fact, according to Booze Allen, over 50% of money center banks (those that borrow and lend with governments, large corporations, and banks) have listed technology and infrastructure as a top priority for 2014. This is a necessary priority across the industry, which is already being utilized by the world's largest banks with a lot of capital. However, smaller community banks must also continue to meet regulatory requirements and distinguish themselves from competitors to increase profits in the same way that their larger competitors are, by embracing emerging technologies and data analytics. Banks that utilize data analytics to meet all of their business goals will undoubtedly have the competitive advantage within their markets.
Today's community banks face issues much larger than not being able to "pass Go." Whether a bank is looking to reduce churn, increase lending, or monitor their regulatory compliance, they can distinguish themselves from competitors using Big Data analytics. Data management within community banks has often been viewed as a burden rather than an opportunity, because of presumed associated costs. However, data analytics doesn't have to mean, "breaking the bank." The goal of any analytics initiative is to hopefully result in a ROI for the client. That starts with banks asking the right business questions and taking advantage of data analytics opportunities to find patterns, trends, and ultimately the most complete, accurate answers to those questions. This will be the competitive edge and the future of successful banking.
To increase profitability and their competitive edge, banks should use data analytics to tackle the issue of customer churn. This challenge has consistently proven to be one of the leading and most costly problems facing community banks. Banks must invest significantly more money on initiatives to acquire new customers, retain existing ones, and even more money to re-acquire customers that have already left. Banks could immediately increase their revenue by using data analytics to focus on reducing churn. By fully understanding their customers based on the bank's own data, they could predict why and when a customer is going to leave the bank before it occurs.
So why haven't more banks pursued this easy enough (Monopoly-proof) solution? Why haven't they been able to reduce their churn rates and increase revenues with all of today's technology? The challenge of implementing this type of strategy lies in the volume and variety of data that a bank has spread across many databases and systems. This makes it nearly impossible to analyze and retrieve customer interactions and actionable insights through conventional data management technologies.
Money center banks have already dedicated technology and teams of data scientists to remedy this issue and utilize data analytics. Although they have the resources to use these tools (thus giving them a seemingly competitive advantage), money center banks do not need to hold "monopoly" over the industry. Community banks can also use Big Data technologies to stay competitive! If community banks compile their data efficiently and cost-effectively, they will have an "x-factor" in their ability to acquire local non-bank data. Integrating this public data with their own customer data gives them a hugely competitive advantage, as they're able to "pass GO" and become the data-driven personal banker in today's digital age.

Federal Rule to End Analog TV Era
Starting Feb. 17, 2009, classroom and household televisions across the country that rely on free over-the-air programming are likely to see nothing but snow on their screens—and adjusting the "rabbit ears" won't help. Under the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005, U.S. broadcasters are to cease analog programming and move entirely to digital broadcasting on that day. Only analog televisions that use roof-top antennas or set-top rabbit ears and do not have cable or satellite service will be affected, says the Federal Communications Commission.
Most schools have a cable or satellite provider, and therefore will not need to replace their television sets, says Todd Sedmak, a spokesman for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
However, schools using analog TVs that rely on free over-the-air programming will need to connect to a cable or satellite provider, buy a digital-to-analog converter box, or replace the analog TV set with one that has a digital tuner, he says.
Overall, the transition is seen as a "positive development," says Rob M. Lippincott, the senior vice president of education for PBS.
"This is a great opportunity for educational programmers to address the needs of teachers," he says, adding that the transition to digital broadcasting will increase the amount of programming available for use in the classroom.
Digital television offers viewers better sound and picture quality, as well as more channels, and eliminating analog programming should free up airwaves for public-safety communications and advanced commercial wireless services, according to the FCC.
"[This transition] is on the scale of Y2K," says Tania Panczyk-Collins, a spokeswoman for the Washington-based Association of Public Television Stations, referring to the computer-system adjustments that were needed for the arrival of the year 2000.
But she is quick to acknowledge that the mandated change hasn't garnered the same amount of media and consumer attention that Y2K did.

NAIROBI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – The schoolboy watched as a man tried to remove the nappy of a little girl he was dragging along a Nairobi riverbank, suspecting that he was going to rape her.
Having been trained to defend girls against sexual assault, the boy called other young men to help him confront the man and rescue the child.
"It would have been fatal," said Collins Omondi, who taught the boy as part of a program to stamp out violence against women and girls in Nairobi slums. "If this man would have assaulted this kid, he would have thrown her inside the river."

"Chicago PD" Season 3 Episode 5 "Climbing Into Bed" aired last Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at 10:00 PM on NBC. In this episode,Officer Adam Ruzek's (Patrick John Flueger) neck is out on the chopping block after a street deputy begins an investigation into him, after a shooting occurred during an unofficial undercover operation gone bad. Read on to learn more about this episode.
The episode began with Officer Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) undercover, unofficially, at a bar as his confidential informant, Jessie Conway (Billy Lush) had contacted him that his old cellmate, Frank Hancock, needed a wheelman for a robbery. Ruzek then informed Detective Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda) of his whereabouts, as he wasn't on the job at the moment, and Antonio advised him to stay put. However, Ruzek had no choice but to go with Frank, who wanted to get to know him more.
Also Read: 'CHICAGO PD' RECAP: 'DEBTS OF THE PAST'
However, before Ruzek could do anything, Frank drove his car into a restaurant, ambushed a robbery in progress and shot two thieves and one civilian being held hostage dead before fleeing. Ruzek, however, tried to go after him and called immediately for back up.
The next morning, they discovered that the woman who had died was the owner of the restaurant, much to the grief of her son, Jordan Sansone, and his father.
The target had been the jewelry shop next door, which was why they blasted a hole through the restaurant to get in to it. They had managed to get away with all of the jewelry.
Back at the squad room, while Ruzek was typing his report, he was visited by Deputy Emma Crowley (Barbara Eve Harris), a street deputy who was going to investigate into him.
They then managed to get Jessie to cooperate with them to find Frank, after they managed to locate Jessie's girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Officers Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Sean Roman (Brian Geraghty) were ordered to follow Jordan, who had confronted them earlier while they were canvassing for witnesses to ask questions about the jewelry shop owner, who turned out to be squeaky clean. Along the way, they noticed him going inside a pet store called Pullman Pets.
Meanwhile, the others managed to track down Frank, thanks to the fact that he had just bought a truck from one of his co-worker. They then discovered the truck empty, and that Jessie had been shot dead.
They also discovered that Frank had been high school classmates with one of the thieves that he had killed, and that he had an anti social personality disorder.
After looking at the call records on one of the dead thieves, Craig "Mouse" Gurwitch (Samuel Hunt) discovered about pets store, which was where Burgess and Roman saw Jordan.
Also Read: 'CHICAGO PD' SPOILERS: OLINKSY'S AND VOIGHT'S BLAST FROM THE PAST; BURGESS AND ROMAN'S CUTE ASSIGNMENT
After interrogating the pets store owner, they discovered that Frank was in a motel, beating up Jordan. They then managed to capture him, and he told Ruzek that he had decided to kill them as he felt that they were going to cut him out of the score.
It also turned out that Jordan had planned to rob the jewelry store in order to get quick cash as he had a lot of serious debts that he owed to very dangerous people, and didn't know that his mother would be at the restaurant that early.
Upstairs, Ruzek was stripped of his police powers, but was allowed to work for the meantime with the Intelligence Unit from within the house.
Afterwards, Detective Erin Lindsay (Sophia Bush) and Detective Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) rekindled their relationship after buying a couch together for her apartment; and Roman was dealt with a heavy blow after learning that he couldn't anymore donate his marrow to the little boy he had been helping, as he had developed acute anemia, which meant that the procedure had to be cancelled altogether.
What do you think will happen to Ruzek? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Bring on more transparency about the Honours system.
And the Republic.
(Update: Anne Summers on The Drum kicks off a lively discussion on the whole issue.)
This blog takes an interest in issues associated with Freedom of Information (FOI) and privacy legislation in Australia. It also includes comment about open transparent and accountable government and related issues generally drawing on developments in Australia and overseas. Information contained on this site is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice. Follow Peter Timmins on Twitter: @foiguru
I see politicans and public servants continue to get the high awards. These are as a result of community nominations? It is time that the bureaucrats running the Honours system and their secret society stop insulting the public. The Kline decision has made us a laughing stock. Reform the system now and yes bring on the republic.ReplyDelete


text: This minifigure is of Boba Fett when he was a boy. It had short blue legs, and a matching blue torso, with a black belt printed on it. His arms were a darker blue color, and his face and hands were a yellow color. A tan colored version of this minifigure has never been released. His face had black dots as eyes, and frowning eyebrows with a slightly smiling mouth. He had long black hair, using the same mold as the 2010 Luke minifigure. The minifigure was based on his appearance in Episode II, and only included in one set, making it somewhat rare.

The Section of Community Medicine comprises a team of Internationally trained faculty members who are motivated and geared to contribute to the mainstream public health in Pakistan and have a positive impact on the lives of the people of Pakistan. Our guiding principle is; "Equitable public health measures have great impact on lives." The focus is to produce doctors who are fully oriented with the public health problems of Pakistan and are willing to bring positive change in the public health scenario in Pakistan, with particular reference to the underprivileged and marginalized communities of the country. The main focus of the curriculum spread over all five years is to apprise and train the students about the preventive strategies and interventions that could reduce the occurrence of disease, increase life expectancy, improve quality of life and decrease mortality. These preventive strategies are applicable at the community level and result in decreased expenditures on curative treatment of advanced diseases and overall favorable effect on the health of the community. The Section also strives to keep the students of SCM apprised of the public health problems globally, so that they could become well-rounded doctors.
The modules run by the section include; Public Health Practice, Research project programme, and Public health electives, in addition to teaching of preventive aspects within all system based modules. The students work in the designated communities and get a feel of working at the primary health care level. The goal of Research project programme is to inculcate the faculty of critical thinking and making the students independent and life-long learners.
In order to inculcate the sense of contribution to the community early in the career, welfare activities are strongly supported and promoted by the faculty members of Community Health Sciences with active involvement of the students. 'Helping hands for cancer patients'(http://hhcancer.blogspot.com) is a student body supported by the faculty which organizes regular events to raise funds for the deserving and needy cancer patients of 'Shifa Foundation Falahee Clinic.' Cancer awareness raising campaign among the masses is routinely undertaken.

The Chase
Trusting God with Your Happily Ever AfterAuthor: Kyle & Kelsey KupeckyNarrator: Sarah Zimmerman & Zach VillaRuntime: 5 Hrs. - UnabridgedKyle and Kelsey Kupecky couldn't have dreamed a better love story for themselves had it been scripted by a bestselling novelist like Kelsey's mom, Karen Kingsbury. In fact, if you asked them, Kyle and Kelsey would name God as the author of their story. And they're glad they trusted him to write it for them. Unfortunately, too many girls hoping for their own happily-ever-after have taken matters into their own hands, chasing after boys when they should be chasing after God. And that inevitably leads to heartache, low self-esteem, and poor choices as girls give in to pressure from media and peers to look and act a certain way to attract guys. Kyle and Kelsey want girls to know that it's never too late to trust God with their love lives, that wherever they are, there's always hope for the future. Through their own story and the stories of others who long for love, they show girls how to put God first, how to value and protect their purity, how to deal with loneliness and bullying, and how to see themselves as God does--a one-in-a-million girl who deserves no less than God's best.Learn More

Sisterdale Dancehall & Opera House and Eagle Dancer Ranch take visitors back to the Old West
Written and photos by Shelley Stepanek
History is loved in Texas and north of San Antonio, Sisterdale Dancehall and Opera House and Eagle Dancer Ranch are two great destinations to discover the past and enjoy the present.
Sisterdale Dancehall was built sometime between 1867 and 1884. In its early years, the dancehall was an Opera House, dancehall and community center. Later, it became a full-time dancehall with a community grocery store and post office next door. The Dancehall was the center of musical life for the community and all kinds of music was played including classical opera, folk, rock, Tejano, Americana and country music. Famous artists have performed there, it has been a movie location, and it hosted George Strait in a Bud Light commercial. Brooks and Dunn used the Dancehall while filming their classic hit song, Red Dirt Road.
Sisterdale Dancehall shines with its row of 360 year old oak trees on the banks of West Sister Creek. With its weathered tin roof, and original wood floors, this is real history. The property has nothing lavish or ornate, just simple beauty. Featuring its historic dance hall, pre-civil war stone tavern, and its unique Bed and Breakfast, this is a destination. Be certain to ride in a horse drawn carriage to finish out the trip.
Eagle Dancer Ranch is filled with stained glass windows, and its hand-crafted bar is held up by two 150-year old cypress trees. With hay rides, buggy rides, canoeing, ranch and longhorn tours; where is there room to squeeze in fishing or wildlife viewing?
For more information, visit www.sisterdaledancehall.com, or www.Eagledancerranch.com.
One Response to Sisterdale Dancehall & Opera House and Eagle Dancer Ranch take visitors back to the Old West
The Eagle Dancer Ranch is the most beautiful ranch in the Hill Country of Texas. Rolling hills, valleys full of flowering plants, rapid creeks, thousands of hundred year old live oak trees, many historic buildings and Kendall County's only covered bridge.
We could not have been happier to have our wedding here.

Using a speed rope, however, focuses on speed and quickness and is better for developing coordination and conditioning by increasing the speed of the rope. Weighted jump ropes, on the other hand, burn a significant amount of calories and can be effective for increasing strength and promoting weight loss.
Use a weighted jump rope if your fitness goals revolve around strength or weight loss. The heavy ropes require upper body strength to continue spinning the rope for repeated jumps. Adjust the length of the rope to match your height and use the weighted jump rope to complement your normal strength training workouts.
- Smooth ball bearing system in the handles ensures you get the smoothest and fastest rotations.
- 100% tangle free cable so you no longer have to untangle
- Light weight and coated with custom memory foam grips for extra comfort.
- 1lb removable weights in each handle
- Ergonomically shaped handles for long jumping sessions so you can get the most out of your workouts.
- Adjustable length 9 FT plastic speed rope

Here is everything we have learned about how to transport dogs safely on bikes in a pet basket or trailer. My advice to anyone looking to take their dog on their cycling journeys is to think about the size and personality of your pet, and try to pick out a pet basket that is a good fit, physically and psychologically. Below is our video of our dog Billy's first time in a pet basket on a bike. It still makes me chuckle every time I watch it. He's not the bravest dog on earth – but then, he only weighed about three pounds when this video was taken!
At first, Billy was very comfortable in his Axiom Basket. I believe this was because he was so little, he felt really safe in the basket. You can see this in this photo, where Billy is snugly down in the bottom of the basket, on his blanket:
Subscribe to Average Joe Cyclist and be entered into a draw to win a brand new Axiom Dual Function Premium Pet Basket for your pet. Draw will be done and announced on 31 July.
Unfortunately, as Billy got bigger he seemed to become more fearful about riding in his pet basket. Probably because he became tall enough to see over the sides. So sadly, just before we downsized out of our house, I sold Billy's Axiom Dual Function Premium Pet Bike Basket to a woman with a dachshund puppy.
Related: Our review of the Axiom Bike Pet Basket – Best Bike Pet Basket under $60!
Then, after we downsized, we noticed that Billy was getting mopey. He was used to being in a large family home with lots of comings and goings. So, we got a second dog to keep Billy company. Enter Ripley, a two pound Maltese/Shih-Tzu puppy (now grown up to a hulking eight pounds).
Ripley is a little bundle of dominance and fearlessness, but strangely afraid of heights. I guess when your legs are only four inches long that is understandable! In this photo you can see how short Ripley's legs are compared to Billy's.
Important safety note: When transporting your pet in a pet basket, always make sure they cannot hurt themselves by jumping out. Ensure that they are very firmly tethered with a safety leash of some kind. Most good pet baskets are set up for this, and some even come in with built-in short leashes. It's best if your dog is wearing a harness, because if they do manage to jump out while leashed, you don't want them hurting their necks while suspended from the basket! With our dogs, we make sure the leash is too short for it to be possible for them to jump at all.
Ripley is now two, and we decided it was time to try and get both our dogs on bikes. Maybe if Billy saw Ripley on a bike, he'd get a bit braver? So we decided to try Billy out in this retro wicker basket on my bike. It is wire-framed and is secured to the bike from the front forks and also from the headset, so I knew it would take all of Billy's eleven lbs easily.
We tried Billy out in this wicker pet basket, and he seems to like riding in it. Happy surprise!
Look how calm Billy is in his Axiom wicker pet basket:
So we tried Ripley out in this wicker basket – but she was not impressed, jumping out within the first ten seconds.
So we purchased another Axiom Dual Function Premium Pet Bike Basket – this time, for Ripley. And this time we installed it on the rear rack of Joe's bike. Ripley did really well on her first ride. Here she is, looking adorable in her very own pet basket.
This gave me a big AHA moment.
Here's what I learned about how to transport your dog in a pet basket on a bike!
I figured out that Billy had become afraid a few years ago because he was growing taller. He basically got too tall to feel secure in the shallow Axiom pet carrier. Looking back on this photo taken a few years ago, I can plainly see how Billy had become too tall for his basket (Billy is the black blob in front of me).
My new wicker pet basket is much deeper and that makes him feel more secure when riding. For an eleven-pound dog, Billy has really long legs!
Ripley, on the other hand, is a tiny dog, and she found the wicker basket very big – so she was afraid. But the Axiom Dual Function Premium Pet Bike Basket has a short leash and a spring loaded top caging that adds extra security. Ripley is very secure in it, as she is hardly able to move at all. This seems to make her feel confident and secure. And of course we know she is safe, because this pet basket mounts with a quick and easy but very solid spring-loaded attachment on the bottom (and it also has a safety strap).
My advice to anyone looking to take their dog on their cycling journeys is to think about the size and personality of your pet, and try to pick out a pet basket that is a good fit, physically and psychologically.
Transporting Your Dog in a Pet Basket at the Back of Your Bike
The one big drawback to having your dog at the front of your bike is that it makes the cycling experience quite different by putting a weight on the handlebars. For this reason, it would not work well for a dog over 20 pounds. Below is the only pet basket we could find that goes on your rear bike rack, and which is rated to carry a dog up to 24 pounds. It gets good reviews, and is obviously quite comfy with its foam padding.
Of course, if you have a really big dog, you are going to have to get some kind of trailer. I saw the one below, with a dog waiting patiently in it. Looks like the owner made it him/herself. If you don't have those kinds of engineering skills, there are a lot of options that you can buy.
Transporting your Dog in a Backpack
I don't recommend this method because it would be dangerous if your dog was not trained. However, if YOU choose to train your dog to do this, and can succeed, good on you! I got this great picture from Cycling the Spains, who offer awesome guided and self-guided cycling tours in Spain. (It's on my bucket list, but we won't be taking the dogs to Spain …)
Once you find the right basket, it will be a joy to include your dog on your travels!
Bike often and bike safe! – Maggie

Let's not forget the horrible scouting dept. Bringing Howson back is a plus but they need more of those guys. Guys like Waddell or Mike Barnett who have experience evaluating young talent in similar situations would be a first step. I dread nothings going to change as long as Lowe is involved.
Their biggest problem is there's no organizational guidance. They wing everything. MacT is a hard nose arrogant guy but he's in over his head. They missed out in Jim Nill for sure. Not that he would've come but Jesus. They didn't even try. They need hockey guys. Not former players who are in over their heads. Dudley turned down Buffalo but he's looking for the right team to take over. He'd be a great choice too. Player development guys like he, Waddell and Barnett would make a world of difference.

And we thought James Packer's love life was complicated.
The casino mogul's long-term relationship with Crown deputy, John Alexander, may have been rejuvenated recently with multimillion-dollar golden handcuffs, but JA is no longer the favourite in Packer's corporate bed.
Deutsche executive, Robert Rankin, will be joining Packer as Crown co-chairman as of January next year.
Rankin also steps in as CEO of Packer's private group, CPH, and on to the boards of the Crown jewel, Melco Crown.
The CPH gig means he will help oversee Packer's fun assets like his Hollywood play, RatPac, and help push it into Asia.
The idea seems to be Rankin will help Packer manage the fast-growing new business growth areas, while JA sticks to his areas of expertise - you know, Australia, Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast.
Just as well his two boys are not being asked to share the same little town.
Rankin will move from Deutsche's London offices to somewhere in Asia, with Hong Kong topping the list as his likely new home.
Tall story?
CBD is a big believer in Chatham House rules, and what happens at the office Christmas party stays at the office Christmas party.
So we will not name the ad agency which had its Christmas party last week, and had its guests welcomed (allegedly) by a devil with a real-life dwarf on a leash.
"I don't like where this is heading," an executive - whose name, sex and rank will be withheld - told an inquiring CBD.
"No comment."
Your columnist understands no person was tossed either in, or from, the party.
In the interests of Fairfax harmony, CBD would like to state that the agency in question was not Leo Burnett, which is run by Fairfax's celebrity director, Todd Sampson.
Ten on a roll
Ten Network shares soared last week on the news that a range of suitors are lining up to take this sorry stock off the market.
In fact, the gains have been so great that the 3.13 million shares acquired by its executive chairman, Hamish McLennan, in February last year are almost in the money again.
For those seeking a more exciting way to profit on the stock, a certain betting agency is offering odds on who might win the day out of its current suitors.
Heading the field is US cable TV heavyweight Discovery, and alleged partner Foxtel, who are equal $3 favourites. News Corp follows on $4, and CBD publisher, Fairfax, on $6.
The wonder twins, Lachlan Murdoch and James Packer, are on $17 with fellow Ten investor Gina Rinehart out at $26 - but well ahead of the ABC on $51.
The dark horse is Clive Palmer who has been given a tempting $101.
Sick feeling
CBD thought the time was right for some good news on Alchemia - the biotech that watched its shares plunge 80 per cent last month after admitting that its cancer drug doesn't appear to work.
Investors attending Monday's AGM will notice that they will no longer be troubled by the need to vote on a number of resolutions that have been withdrawn post-plunge.
This includes the resolutions contained in Item 4 which would have approved the issue of 3 million shares to five of its directors.
It really is a missed opportunity for the board to show its gumption given the exercise price for the options was 71.5¢. It obviously doesn't look that enticing for the directors with shares trading below 10¢.
The company had said that issuing the options was needed to "access important talent and experience in the US, which is the key market for our products".
Obviously that talent is no longer needed. Alchemia has also withdrawn the resolution to boost its non-executive director fee pool by 50 per cent to $750,000.
If the meeting isn't exciting enough, shareholders can always brace themselves for November 26 when the 2014 National Telstra Australian Business Woman of the Year is announced and Alchemia's chief science officer, Dr Tracey Brown, is in the running.
Brown was rather cruelly crowned the Victorian winner of the competition just days before the company announced the horror test trials result, which sent the stock into a steep nosedive.

The Chevrolet brand may be the basic, bread-and-butter brand on the GM totem pole, but don't tell that to the designers of the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse, who packed the crossover with high-end features. If the standard features just aren't cutting it for you, Chevrolet also offers some impressive options for the Traverse Chevrolet.
Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com show that the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse doesn't pull any punches when it comes to standard features. Cars.com reviewers say the standard "On Star system provides such features as turn-by-turn navigation and directions to restaurants, hotels or other points of interest." ConsumerGuide also notes the Chevrolet Traverse comes standard with a "tilt/telescopic steering wheel, cruise control," full power accessories, an "AM/FM/CD/MP3 player, satellite radio," and "automatic headlights." Moving up to the Chevrolet Traverse LT, ConsumerGuide says to expect a "leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls" to join the standard features list, while Motor Trend describes the top-of-the-line Chevrolet Traverse LTZ as "Chevy's modern Kingswood Estate, with...standard leather," among other unique features. Some of the standard amenities exclusively on the Traverse Chevrolet in LTZ trim are "tri-zone automatic climate controls (including rear controls), navigation system w/voice recognition and traffic information, [and] rearview camera," according to ConsumerGuide. Regardless of which trim you opt for on the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse, Edmunds is pleased to report "Bluetooth connectivity is standard."
The features list doesn't end with the basics available on the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse trims, as GM has included a lengthy catalog of options for those with a bit more disposable income. Cars.com says some of the "cool features of the new Traverse" include "a panoramic sunroof" and "in-dash navigation system," along with an available "rear-seat DVD entertainment system" and "leather upholstery." For those living in the Golden State, ConsumerGuide says an available "California Edition" adds an upgraded "Bose sound system, chrome exhaust tip," and "bright alloy wheels," while a "remote engine start" option is available as a stand-alone feature on the Chevrolet Traverse LS and LT.

Life at times can feel like a crap shoot where we see
ourselves as the victims of external forces beyond our control. It is wise to embrace a conscious and conscientious approach
to your job search or career planning, as admittedly,
it is a competitive and changing world we live in! Remember the saying, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
A good step is ramping up your job search with targeted application materials and well-honed self-marketing skills.
A failure to move forward successfully can become a self-fulfilling prophesy, especially if we
do not take strategic action in charting our life paths. By reflecting on your past and present, and carefully
contemplating your future, you may discover inter-connections that are important, whether barriers which have held
you back or keys to the direction in which you ultimately choose to travel.
Competition for jobs can be downright fierce at times. A strategic application package which includes a carefully crafted and company specific cover letter as well as an industry targeted resume is virtually a necessity in today's competitive market. Equally important is being comfortable enough with these 'tools' that you can live up to them during an interview. Drawing upon key words and showcasing pertinent achievements may help keep your application at the top of the interview prospects pile, rather than being relegated to the recycling bin! Get some help developing application materials that 'mean business'.
Have you been forward thinking enough to collect documents related to your educational, work, and community involvement history? If yes, great! If not, think of doing so from this point forward! Tidbits of your life's journey can certainly come in handy, as they can help support what you provided on your resume, and a portfolio also serves as a catalyst to further discussion in an interview. How you go about collecting, compiling and presenting these materials are also important pieces of the portfolio puzzle.
So, you have checked out the Service Canada Job Bank, area newspapers, company websites, and the local employment centre job board. Good for you! Your job search has started but is far from finished. Let the real journey begin by adding more tools to that fledgling tool box: utilize labour market information; understand the hidden job market; engage in elevator speeches; network strategically; customize your calling cards; create an online presence; integrate informational interviews. Your tools may vary somewhat based upon the career you are pursuing, but why not capitalize on the opportunities available but often overlooked.
Do you sweat bullets at an interview? Does your mind turn to mush at the mere mention of describing your strengths or weaknesses? Do you find yourself yattering on about a lot of light fluff rather than giving an employer the 'real stuff' they require to make a hiring decision? Too many job candidates hope that somehow, perfect answers will miraculously spew forth from their lips at just the right time. People are often ill-prepared for the interview process. And given an employer's time is valuable. as is yours, does it not make sense to invest some conscientious time and energy in preparing for the interviews you are offered?
Do you require assistance with discovering the diversity of who you are as a person, and understanding how you can apply this deeper knowledge in your life or career? Learn how your personality, interests, skills and values are relevant to the choices you make in life. (MBTI and Personality Dimensions certified; these can be offered as part of a self exploration package)
Would you benefit from assistance in choosing a career or charting a career transition? Assure the choices you make reflect who you are as a person and the employment market with which you must contend.

If you struggle with workplace challenges, don't let these difficulties take control of your life. Let's discuss these challenges and find reasonable solutions or strategies geared to your particular situation.
