Product Details Some people may think you are a silly cartoon version of Frankenstein when you slip on this glowing green-faced monster costume. Just tell them that Frankenstein didn't have as much charisma, nor was he nearly as handsome. This wobbly eyed, wobbly headed green monster is great for all ages, because it will not likely scare smaller children, and yet older kids and adults can have fun playing the role of the googly-eyed green monster with a silly smile and big head. The Bobble Head Green Monster comes with a black pull-over shirt with an attached, torn-looking brown vest, as well as the oversized purple monster pants because we all know monsters don't know how to color coordinate. The over-sized giant, light-weight Bobble Head has googly bobble eyes, and a comfortable interior with an elastic head support, so your head will not get tired and fall off while you are wearing this fantastically fun costume. Be advised that green gloves do not come with the costume, so painting your hands green to match the head may be a good idea. Theater paint can also be found here on Cauldron Costumes. Go ahead and make 'em laugh doing the monster mash while your eyes bobble around the room along with all the giggles that will follow.

WISCONSIN SPORTS ROUND-UP: Voltz to start at center for UW at Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Dan Voltz will make his first start at center for the University of Wisconsin football team, when it plays at undefeated Ohio State tomorrow night.
Voltz, a redshirt freshman, was projected to be the starter until he got hurt during the Badgers' pre-season camp in August. His replacement, Dallas Lewallen, played in all of Wisconsin's first four games until he injured his right knee last Saturday against Purdue. Lewallen still had a knee brace at the end of the week, and was not expected to play against the Buckeyes. Guard Ryan Groy will be the back-up center. Also, junior inside linebacker Derek Landisch is on track to start. He sat out for three games with an injured ankle. His replacement, Conor O'Neill, is also expected to get a lot of playing time in the middle. O'Neill is third on the Badgers with 18 tackles. Ohio State will play its Big Ten opener, after going 4-0 so far. Wisconsin comes in at 3-1, after winning its conference opener against the Boilermakers six days ago.
Only nine of Wisconsin's Division III college football teams are in action tomorrow. Half of the WIAC's eight schools are off. All Wisconsin teams in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference have byes, before their league schedule begins next weekend. The Midwest Conference again has a full schedule of league games. Four Wisconsin teams are in action in that circuit. Saint Norbert plays in Waukesha against Carroll. Beloit travels to Grinnell of Iowa. And Ripon College hosts Illinois College. Saint Norbert and Lake Forest lead the Midwest standings, each at 2-0. In the WIAC's non-conference games, UW-Stevens Point is at North Central of Illinois, which is ranked fourth by D3football.com. Number-eight Oshkosh hosts Alma. 10th-ranked Pacific Lutheran plays at UW-Eau Claire. And 12th-ranked Whitewater is at home against Waldorf. Also, Carthage plays at home in Kenosha against Adrian of Michigan.
It's been a decade since the University of Wisconsin or Marquette have hosted a men's collegiate golf tournament. But that will change starting Sunday. The Badgers will host Marquette and a dozen other schools at the recently-renovated University Ridge course southwest of Madison. The 54-hole Badger Invitational runs from Sunday through Tuesday. Marquette is hosting the Erin Hills Intercollegiate event October 6-8 at Erin Hills northwest of Milwaukee. That tournament will also have 14 teams – including the Golden Eagles and Badgers – competing in three rounds. Many top amateurs will play Erin Hills again, after golfing there at the U.S. Amateur last year. Erin Hills will also host the U.S. Open tournament in 2017.
Yovani Gallardo followed the same pattern as the Milwaukee Brewers this year. He struggled early on, and recovered nicely the past couple months. Gallardo will make his final start of a forgettable season tonight, when the Crew plays the Mets in New York. The fourth-place Brewers will go for their fifth victory in six games. Gallardo, a veteran right-hander, is 11-10 with a 4.23 ERA. After being out with a strained hamstring, he returned to his old form by going 3-1 in seven starts with an ERA of 2.35 during that stretch. It's what happened earlier that put a black mark on Gallardo's record. He'll end up with the highest ERA in his seven Major League seasons. Gallardo has 138 strikeouts, and he'll end a string of four years of at least 200 K's. He struck out seven in seven innings last weekend in a no-decision at Saint Louis, in which he gave up two runs. Right-hander Carlos Torres will start for New York. He's 4-5 with an ERA of just over three-and-a-third. After winning the National League Central in 2011, the Brewers are locked into a fourth-place finish this year at 15 games below .500. The Mets are not much better at 73-86.
Carlos Gomez returns to the lineup tonight, when the Milwaukee Brewers play the Mets in New York. The All-Star centerfielder served a one-game suspension last night, for instigating a bench-clearing brawl in Atlanta on Wednesday. The Brewers didn't need him last night, as they topped the Mets 4-2 to win their fourth game in their last five. Gomez has put on a power display in his last nine contests with four homers, a triple, a double, and eight RBI's. Without the suspended Ryan Braun, Gomez became Milwaukee's leader in homers this year with a career-high 23. He also has a personal-best 71 RBI's. For the Mets, Eric Young Junior hopes to take the National League stolen base lead. The son of former Brewer Eric Young has swiped five bases in his last eight games, including two against the Crew last night. He's now tied with Milwaukee's Jean Segura, each with 44 stolen bases on the year. Segura has missed eight games with a bad hamstring, but he's expected to return sometime during this final weekend of the regular season. Both teams are playing for pride, stats, and auditions for next year, after falling out of the pennant race long ago.
Wisconsin driver Matt Kenseth will try to keep first-place in NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup this weekend in Dover Delaware. The Triple-"A"-400 is the third of 10 races in the season-ending Chase -- and Kenseth has won the first two. Qualifying takes place this afternoon for Sunday's race. Kenseth has two-thousand-111 points -- 14 more than Kyle Busch, 18 more than third-place Jimmie Johnson. He has won a career-high seven races this year. Also entered in the Sunday's Sprint Cup event are Paul Menard of Eau Claire, Travis Kvapil of Janesville, and Beloit-born Danica Patrick. No Wisconsin drivers are entered for the Nationwide Series race at Dover, the Five-Hour Energy-200 that's set for tomorrow. The Camping World Truck Series' drivers are in Las Vegas for the Smith's 350 tomorrow night. Johnny Sauter of Necedah is eighth in the truck standings going into that event.
Rhinelander native Dan Forsman is playing at Pebble Beach on the senior PGA Champions Tour. He's competing in the Nature Valley First Tee Open on the California coast. The 54-hole tournament is getting underway this morning. Forsman has a pair of Top-10 finishes in 20 events this year. He's ranked 52nd in the season point standings for the Charles Schwab Cup.

The goal of this course is to teach you how to write a clear, well-argued, and interesting analytical paper. We will spend most of our class time actively engaged in a variety of techniques to improve your critical reasoning and analytical skills, both written and oral. Though the skills you learn will be applicable to other disciplines, and a central purpose of the course is to improve all aspects of your writing, this is a literature class, designed partly to prepare you for upper level courses in the English Department, so we will, therefore, spend equal time on the interpretation of literature, in this case, contemporary American fiction, examining the very, very recent (last ten to twenty years) developments in American fiction. We will read short stories and novels by writers such as Mary Robison, Karen Russell, Cormac McCarthy, Nam Le, ZZ Packer, among others. This course will focus more directly on basic expository writing skills than the other 100-level classes.

Oct 24, 2011His major-label follow-up wisely keeps the retro aesthetic.
Nov 4, 2011What we're hearing here is the Temptations turning into the Delfonics--the way his midrange gives up the verse and his falsetto takes the chorus is as nice as his boyish sexism.
Nov 1, 2011His vocals are slightly generic yet the songs are solid and when he shifts into falsetto, you'll take a time trip back to the 60s heyday of this sumptuous and frisky R&B that moves from the dance floor to the bedroom.
Oct 21, 2011He succeeds in creating a soul revival with a refreshing modern day twist done so right.
Oct 14, 2011It's a testament to Hawthorne's songwriting ability that this wall is easily scaled after one or two listens, and that the man sounds more natural and loose than on his debut might be this album's greatest asset, making the vulgar drops and other nods to the present feel less mannered than before.
Oct 13, 2011Mayer Hawthorne's sturdy sophomore effort boasts "aw, shucks" love songs gift-wrapped in a silky Curtis Mayfield falsetto.
Oct 11, 2011From its suave title to the very first words on it--"So here we are/ It's the end of the night/ Yeah, I had a good time, too/ You know, it doesn't have to end here"--Mayer Hawthorne's amusing new album comes across like a pickup line uttered at last call.
Oct 11, 2011It's a brief, delightful little thing, with a handful of knockout singles.
Oct 11, 2011The production makes stellar use of his major-label money; the sound is refined and dynamic in a way that's wholly missing from pop radio.
Oct 7, 2011Stones Throw rap fanboy morphs into credible crooner--now scans as natural evolution; his increasingly confident cries and grooves and songwriting aplomb are undeniably pro.
Oct 7, 2011How Do You Do is another solid step in the right direction for Hawthorne, who shows that soul music is universal and devoid of colour, as we all can relate to difficulties and heartbreak.
Oct 7, 2011How Do You Do is a great listen, but...there's just no getting around the fact that Mayer Hawthorne isn't an especially strong singer.

Kavis Reed, when he first designed a defence to try stop Ricky Ray, failed spectacularly.
It was 2005. The Edmonton Eskimos head coach was then defensive co-ordinator of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. And Ray completed 25 of 36 passes, threw five touchdown passes and produced 369 yards of total offence in a 36-30 Eskimos win that day.
"Do I remember that? How could you ever forget that?
"I'd managed to convince myself that the way to beat Ricky Ray was to come at him with all sorts of pressure. I figured you could make him human by hitting him.
"That turned out not to be the case.
"He handled the pressure. He took the hits. He kept getting back up. And then he got into a rhythm and …
"A couple defensive backs got cut after that.
"That's the day I came to understand about Ricky Ray's toughness. That's the day I learned to never underestimate him."
Reed learned well.
And that's why in a monumental mismatch on paper in Ricky Ray vs. Steven Jyles, the Edmonton Eskimos should be favoured Saturday.
Since that game in 2005, Ray only beat a Reed defence once. Only once did he manage more than a single touchdown pass in any of those games since.
In three more games as defensive co-ordinator of the Tiger-Cats, Hamilton won all three and Ray only managed one touchdown pass combined against four interceptions.
In 2007, Reed was a defensive coach with the Toronto Argos for an 18-11 win — Ray was injured and didn't play in the 33-8 Argo victory to follow.
The Argos defensive co-ordinator was on the losing end of a crazy 47-28 game in 2008 in which Kerry Joseph threw three interceptions — Toronto couldn't stop the run and the Eskimos returned a punt for a touchdown. Ray was restricted to 213 yards passing and had a touchdown and an interception. Reed didn't let the QB beat him. And Toronto won the second game by restricting Ray to one TD pass and keeping him under 300 yards.
In 2010 Reed was the defensive co-ordinator of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and masterminded the defensive effort in a 47-21 win in which Ray threw two interceptions and was held to 202 yards. Ray was injured for the other game against Winnipeg that season.
You get the idea.
There's hope here.
Since that five-touchdown, 25-for-36, 369-yard introduction to Ricky Ray, Kavis Reed-coached defences have a 6-1 record against him, held him to less than 300 yards six times with only five touchdowns scored against five interceptions thrown.
Reed has had 61/2 months along with defensive co-ordinator Mark Nelson to game-plan going against the future Hall of Famer.
"I came to believe that the way to be successful against Ricky Ray is to be as patient as he is.
"Make him hold on to the football."
Reed, who lost old mentor Rich Stubler to the B.C. Lions as defensive co-ordinator, decided to change alignments this year. And he didn't play some of his key people in the pre-season.
But he'll be demanding they'll be ready for the first series.
"You can't let Ricky Ray start with a successful drive," he said. "That's not going to win for us."
Considering the emotional challenge Ray has to face and the time and attention Edmonton has placed on this game for what it means on a number of different levels, this might be the toughest game Ricky Ray ever has to play.
"I don't think there's any question that for us, this is a very important football game," said Reed after putting the Eskimos through their final full practice prior to Saturday's season opener against the Argos.
Reed, prior to training camp, said this game was so important to the season that he was planning to spend 75% of training camp preparing for this one game against a team with a new head coach and new offensive philosophy.
How much of his Montreal Alouettes offence will Scott Milanovich bring with him, how much will remain from the run-orientated offence the Argos had last year, how much will be what Ray has had here over his career and how much will be new?
"It's one thing to have time to prepare. But how do you prepare? It's like flying a plane at night without radar."

Obama the Compassionate: Goal is not to go after Putin personally
Filed Under Politics, World News | 14 Comments
Is there a saying that goes "don't bring a Nerf gun to an artillery battle"? If not, there should be:
President Obama said his administration will today impose a new round of sanctions on Russia, targeting an "expanded list of individuals and companies," with particular focus on some high-tech defense exports.
The president, speaking during a joint press conference with President Benigno Aquino, said the sanctions will "remain targeted," applied in coordination with European allies, though will not hit Russian President Vladimir Putin directly.
The "goal is not to go after Putin personally, the goal is to change his calculus," Obama said, "and encourage him to walk the walk and not just talk the talk when it comes to diplomatically resolving the crisis in Ukraine."
This morning I heard Charles Krauthammer on the Laura Ingraham show calling Team Obama's response "comical," and that's putting it politely. If Putin takes back Ukraine he'll be the biggest hero in Russia since Catherine the Great for his efforts to regain land the Soviet Union lost when communism collapsed, and Obama's concerned about hurting his feelings?
We'll know the Obama administration really means business when they attempt to repo the re-set button.

"goal is not to go after Putin personally, the goal is to change his calculus," Obama said.
Is it just me or does this sound like Dear Leader is the one quaking in his boots over having any kind of confrontation with Putin. This is the typical kid who gets bullied on the playground that is too afraid to actually stand up to the bully for fear of getting his a$$ kicked, so instead he tries to "reason" with the bully….and still gets his a$$ kicked.

"The president, speaking during a joint press conference with President Benigno Aquino,"
And promptly freaked-the fudge-OUT. Dude probably has at best, a passing comprehension of the shared legacy the U.S and P.I take so much pride in. That very cultural, political and religious intersection, and our will to fight an occupation government ( in their case; TWICE ) against overwhelming odds Turn.His.STOMACH.
Dude couldn't WAIT to GTFO of there… To be honest, so many of our relatives there genuinely feel awful for us. After years of Marcos oppression, they KNOW how tough a road it is back from entrenched crony 'capitalism'. And yes, they pray for us.

The more Dear Leader issues empty threats, the more our enemies and allies take notice. I saw today that the PM in Japan is asking for a re-evaluation of the Japanese Constitution by the country's Supreme Court in hopes to have the interpretation change enough that he can legally start boosting the Japanese military. He obviously sees the writing on the wall and knows that the US will not help to keep the Chinese at bay any longer.

And mindful, this isn't anything the Japanese have ever taken LIGHTLY. They for years rued having the U.S.S Midway (CV-43) homeported there as they felt it made them targets. Had rather enough of war. Only grudgingly did the allow the U.S.S Blue Ridge there.
Yes, absolute 180.

"There is no doubt that (she) had actual receipt of the notification of the tax upset sale on July 7, 2011, and Aug. 16, 2011," the judge wrote."
Right along w/ 39 other 'notifications', tax liens and a flurry of paperwork whose specific design is to confuse, threaten and utterly intimidate property owners. As Housing Bubble Bloggers, we argued these points in an online *brawl* from 2003 on.
One of the services I performed as a financial planner was to help churches set up escrow accounts to ensure their property taxes were PAID in perpetuity. Cuzz' that is what's coming NEXT.

Dorian, I'm so glad you brought that to light. One of the things I've been working on for a young congressional candidate here in OR is; in effect: "An Economic Model For The Future Citizens Can Actually Build A Life Around" ( for lack of a better term? )
Just as a mutual fund or annuity manager would flesh out a Venn Diagram to determine what [specific] holdings they want for a particular portfolio, so can we begin to chart what we as conservatives have to offer voters in a life and economy; Post Obama.
By charting the probabilities and potentials of a biz start-up, much as Dim's did w/ "The Life of Julia" people can begin to visualize [what] specifically we are offering.

For issues of memory and simplicity, I'd like to share random number stream harvests among threads. I don't care if, occasionally, a thread gets the 'wrong' or same random number as another thread because the index has not been bumped yet. That is, the threads would share the index into the stream and the stream. When any thread noticed the index becoming close to the end of the stream, it would invoke a continuation of the stream.
My attempts to implement this have the program blowing off w/ no diagnostics or references to irrelevant lines of code. Could it be that the VSL routines save data which becomes corrupted if there are multiple threads accessing the code simultaneously? Wouldn't this also be a problem if I gave up on this approach and set the indicies private?

Wells Fargo Rewards Certain Customers by Slashing Trading Fees
SAN FRANCISO - To link customers to brokerage accounts, Wells Fargo & Co. recently announced it will cut online trading fees for investors who have $25,000 in balances at the bank. Investors will see a reduction in commissions on stock and mutual fund trades to $9.95, down from $19.95 for each stock trade and as much as $35 to buy or sell mutual funds. To qualify for the lower fee, customers must have at least $25,000 in combined balances such as savings accounts, checking, CDs, IRAs and brokerage accounts. Wells Fargo is also including auto loans, credit card balances and 10% of any mortgage balances. For balances over $100,000 the fee is $2.95 per trade and customers with more than $250,000 get 50 free trades every 12 months with any over 50 costing $9.95 each. Industry watchers say Wells Fargo is the first major bank to slash fees but brokerage firms such as Fidelity Investment, E*Trade Financial Corp. and Charles Schwab Corp. have all recently cut trading costs for active traders.

I love the Nars multiples. They are so easy to use and there's a colour for everyone. I love that like most NARS products these have such beautiful shimmer and the best thing is that they are so lightweight on the skin. I love that they don't feel sticky or cakey. As a lot of us are updating our sumer makeup wardrobes I think these are perfect. They can be used on the face and body and are ideal for carrying around. These look even better with a tan, just help to create that glowy, healthy, dewy skin which we all know is super sexy!
I have 6 of the multiples and have grouped them together so you can get an idea of different colours.
Luxor and Copacabana
Now in all honesty these colours can often look ashy on darker skin tones, for that reason I pay more attention when applying these. I focus a small amount on the top of cheek bone and just a little through the brow bone. For anyone with a lighter complexion these would look gorgeous on you. Luxor is slightly more pinky whereas Copacabana has a more frosty/silver shimmer.
Orgasm and Portofino
I LOVEE these.. Mainly because I love pink blushers so wearing these multiples really compliments the blush. Orgasm is a lot softer, shot through with gold shimmer and Portofino is more of a rosy red. I have to say Orgasm is one of my favourites.. there is a reason why its so super popular within NARS products the colour is amazing!
Maldives and South Beach
Perfect for anyone, gorgeous over bronzer really creates dimension. Obviously for picture purposes I have applied these quite strongly, however once these are blended through they are just gorgeous! Maldives is a little more subtle and has more of a brown town to it whereas South Beach is super bronze with more of an orange tone.
I love the multiples and they honestly last forever! Have any of you tried them? Which are your favourites?
OK guys I know I've spelt COPACABANA wrong.. I am honestly way too lazy to re edit the pics! haha SORRY DOLLS.. Lots of Love

Arsene Wenger is set to sign 16 year old Jose Rodriguez of Real Madrid. The midfielder at such a tender age shows a complete array of skills that makes him a natural number 4. He became the MVP of the U17 Club World Cup after displays like the one he had against Schalke (above) and Barca.
Wenger is quietly putting together yet another generation of youth talent who will come good by 2015. Spain with its canteras are offering talent on tap and he added Barca reserves Jon Miquel Toral and Héctor Bellerín this summer. Before them, Ignasi Miquel another Barca standout with his defensive capabilities joined in 2008 and made his first senior squad appearance last season in the FA Cup fifth round second leg against Leyton Orient.
It's an interesting phenomenon. There seems to be a feeling that Wenger is putting a bandaid on this transition squad adding low cost players who will hopefully maintain the status quo of 4th position while developing this new group in parallel to takeover when Arsenal's rivals have been weakened by the financial fair play rules. One wonders whether he's even outfoxed Ivan Gazidis who said as if written in stone that this summer would be full of signings. It's true. They've been a number of transfers except they're once again with an eye to the future.

I enjoy painting outdoors ('en plein air') because my observations of the changing light, colors and weather inform me as an artist in ways that working from photographs cannot and become part of a skill set which I can apply to my studio paintings. Besides, being in nature with the birds and critters recharges my inner batteries! To see the complete image and read a little description, click on each thumbnail.

(unknown member): The latest update of COP 6 has rendered it unusable on my Mac - I can't even open a file now!!
When copying the app into the apps folder during installation a pop up usually asks you wether to replace the old file or keep both. Have you looked in your trash folder to see if the v6 app is still there ? If so, rename it and move it back and you might be good to go until this problem is solved.
Jefftan: Can some Capture One user explain how this is better than lightroom?
better color?
I have heard NR is not as good
I find C1 much superior than any other software as a raw processor for all the good reasons stated above. I still use LR for cataloguing and exporting, web publishing.
LR does an excellent job for 90% of my images, but that special 10% definitively deserve the high quality and gentle processing offered by C1. Download the trial, process your best image starting from scratch, and see for yourself.
One note though, both have tools that allow to do things the other one don't. I find they're a complement of each other.
naththo: What I liked about Capture one is sharpness and noise reduction is much better than LR for my Canon camera. And even with Capture One it open up more dynamic range in default setting without touching anything compare to DPP the dynamic range in standard setting at default is very poor. Capture One allowed me to open up many times more stops of DR than the DPP. Thats the best part I have ever seen. Plus the colours were nearly spot on not as close as DPP but DPP is not my taste due to sharpness is no good, poor dynamic range and too contrasty. Well Done for making the fantastic software to Capture one! Thumbs up. :)
Agreed. I can't talk about DPP but put in simple words ... CaptureOne can "see" subtle color tonalities and dinamic range that adobe acr and LR are blind to. And this shows right away, before doing any adjustments.
very nice

SAN DIEGO - Ten oil-covered California brown pelicans caught in a mystery oil spill off the Los Angeles County coast are being treated at SeaWorld, park officials said Wednesday.
The endangered-species birds are being cleaned and rehabilitated at SeaWorld's Oiled Wildlife Care Center, which can house 200 seabirds and 20 marine mammals in its 32,000-gallon salt water pool and two 380-square-foot outdoor aviaries, according to SeaWorld officials.
The spill last week coated nearly 900 seabirds between Venice and Santa Barbara, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The California Department of Fish and Game has not determined where the oil originated, but there was some speculation that it may have been triggered by the La Conchita mudslide last week.
SeaWorld is one of 25 organizations statewide that participate in the Oiled Wildlife Care Network.

Two candidates put their names forward to run for the leadership of the Wildrose Alliance at the party's annual general meeting in Bearspaw yesterday.
Danielle Smith, 38, and Mark Dyrholm, 38, each announced they want to take over from current leader Paul Hinman, who announced in April he would be stepping down.
Smith, the former director of Canadian Federation of Independent Business, finished a speech to the AGM by announcing her candidacy.
"There's a lot of unhappiness with this government and part of the reason is they don't listen, they don't consult, they come through with decisions that aren't well thought through, they end up having to back-track and in the cases where they don't back-track when they should, it demonstrates they're dug in and not willing to listen," she said.
Dyrholm, a chiropractor, said he was motivated to run for the Wildrose leadership by what he sees as a lack of fairness and openness.
"I believe Alberta needs better government than it's getting right now from the Stelmach government," he said.
The new leader will be chosen at the party's convention set for Oct. 17 in Edmonton.

text: I want to jazz up my Fender Jazz bass with a matching headstock (Not interested in anyone questioning or judging this, it's my bass and I can do what I want with it). Here are my dilemmas. 1) Paint or laminate? I'd really like to use a thin, high gloss laminate. The bass is black. Any experience? 2) Fender logo. I don't want to start a war (my TB research turned up some nasty back and forth comments on decals). This is an authentic Fender, the back of the headstock will retain the serial number, etc. With that out of the way (hopefully), I'd like to put a legitimate Fender logo on the headstock, is there such a thing? I'm also considering a replacement neck from AllParts (JRO), and no decal, but that's not my first choice. Either way, any experience with this neck and/or AllParts?

What's Hot Today
In anticipation of the week-long CSI crossover episodes next week--they call it "CSI Trilogy" and I call it "Langston week"--here's a behind-the-scenes video on how the whole thing panned out. Apart from the usual details on what we should expect next week, all those bits about human trafficking and severed legs, here's a chance to see why Laurence Fishburne looks forward to working with David Caruso and Gary Sinise, why it took a long time for a three-show crossover like this to happen, and how Langston does a Horatio impression. No, really, a Horatio impression--and you might want to say he exaggerated it, judging from the fallen piece of furniture that was involved... Source & Video
CBS has begun airing the promo for "CSI: Trilogy", a crossover event that will take place in the second week of November. Dr. Raymond Langston from " CSI : Crime Scene Investigation" will appear in the show's spin-offs, " CSI: Miami " and " CSI: NY " to solve a crime with one red string attached. Beginning with a "Miami" episode, the crossover starts when Horatio finds severed leg which belongs to a girl who went missing in Las Vegas earlier that week. He summons Raymond to come to Everglades, Miami where the body part is found. Then on "NY episode", a woman whom Raymond interviewed while in Miami pops up in New York, hidden in a big rig following an accident. Together with Mac Taylor, Raymond is unraveling a case of an interstate trucking ring that specializes in human cargo and black market organ harvesting. Mark Sheppard from " Battlestar Galactica " has a guest role in this episode. The string ends in "Las Vegas" episode where Raymond goes to a prostitution ring in Las Vegas that may harbor the missing young girl taken a hostage as part of human trafficking operation. "Bone Voyage", "Hammer Down" and "The Lost Girl" will air on November 9, 11 and 12 respectively. Source & Promo

I love my Job!
I am blessed in that I am already doing what I love. I work with students with autism and emotional behaviors in a school setting. Being a part of an individual's success nullifies any personal stress I may be having in my life. With the help of therapists, teachers and other staff members, we all contribute to our students becoming more independent and confident.
Attaining a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Behavioral Sciences will enable me to become a counselor for families struggling with tough decisions about their child's care as well as determining how best to serve the child and family's needs to improve all of their lives. Utilizing an online college makes it easier to get an education while still having a job, raising kids, keeping a house and trying to have a life. Working in my chosen field helps me stay up-to-date on trainings, changes in behavioral care, and gain experience at the same time. Everything that I've learned and am still learning comes from each and every student. They are my inspiration and developing their curriculum while inventing creative ways to help them learn are my daily challenge. It doesn't change the world but it changed me.

There was a lot of big talk coming out of the Philadelphia Eagles camp before the games started in earnest.
But along with Dream Team crap came a cautionary tale from none other than Michael Vick.
Nothings going to be given to us, and everybody is going to be gunning for us, Vick said during training camp. But were ready.
Vick was right about the first part but given their 1-3 start, were not so sure about the second.
The Eagles season is not yet lost but they desperately need a road win on Sunday at Buffalo against the surprising Bills as they still have home-and-home games against both Dallas and Washington plus home dates against the Bears, New England and the Jets left on their schedule.
So they have got themselves into the position where they cant let any more games get away from them as they did last Sunday in their shocking loss to San Francisco.
Nobody knows this more than Vick.
The dream team thing is over, Vick said in an interview with the teams web site. Now we just have to forget about everything thats happened and take it one game at a time. Thats what Ive sensed in the locker room. I sense change. Nobodys happy about this.
As for being 1-3, Vick added: Its the worst.
Before the season started the Eagles no doubt looked at the road game in Buffalo as a breather, a sure win situation in a soft spot of their schedule. But so too was last weeks home game against the 49ers and look how that one turned out, a big lead squandered, no offence when it mattered.
Weve got to dig deep, Vick said about what has to be done by the time they arrive in Buffalo. Its right there for everybody to see what is taking place, how its been done, what hasnt been done and what needs to be done.
Blowing 24-3 leads is not the stuff of playoff-bound teams.
Its unacceptable to give up a lead that size in the second half, defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins said. If we dont win, were just a bunch of talented people who havent done anything, and theres a lot of teams like that.
The Bills, meanwhile, have their own problems.
Nobody called them a Dream Team during their training camp but they came out and played like one in the opening three games when they raced to a 3-0 record.
Then last week against the Bengals they blew a 17-3 halftime lead.
It leads to two teams searching for an identity and a loss would shatter the dreams of both.
The Eagles look like a group of players who are not playing like a team.
The biggest thing that were missing here is attitude, Jenkins said. You look around, you look how people are when things are going bad, youre seeing theres not that fire, that attitude, that mental toughness that youre going to make it happen and weve got to get that, somehow, some way,
Maybe its because everybodys spending so much time adapting, trying to get to used to each other, but at some point the man in you has to come out.
At the Bills camp this week, coach Chan Gailey was asked if he thinks the Eagles are a desperate team and if that poses any special problems.
Everybody needs a win, he replied. You walk into any press conference, anywhere, and everybody will say the same thing. Everybodys desperate. Theyre no different than anybody else we play.
I think a lot of times if you use the word desperate, then you start trying to do things you cant do and that creates more of a problem than a solution.
The solution awaits one team Sunday and a victory for either could go a long way in determining the fate of their respective seasons.

text: This is the first full scholarly study of the relations between Byzantium and the Crusader States of Syria and Palestine. Ralph-Johannes Lilie sets out to explore the policies and principles which shaped contacts between the Eastern Empire, the Crusader States, and the nations of Western Europe whence the Crusaders came. He traces the actions of the Byzantine Emperors in the twelfth century as they sought to keep control of the crusading armies within their territories and to maintain their positions with respect to the west, and shows how mutual suspicion and attempts at co-operation ended in downright enmity. Originally published to much acclaim in German, Byzantium and the Crusader States has been revised for the English edition by Professor Lilie, and a lucid and scholarly translation provided by J. C. Morris and Jean E. Ridings. 'Lilie's book is an important one, not only because the course of relations between Greeks and Latins in the eastern Mediterranean region is discussed in a refreshingly original way, but also because all historians of the Latin East will want to consult it on points of detail.' Jonathan Riley-Smith, English Historical Review

Working Capital Loans as the Key to Success for New Businesses
What is a working capital? It is actually referring to the cash requirement of a business to be able to operate in a daily basis. It is also defined as the current assets of the business without its current liabilities. This measures the business' short-term financial health and its efficiency. It is important for starting businesses to think of ways to have working capital loans to prevent failure.
For small and starting businesses, it is a common problem that their liabilities are greater than their current assets. This problem can be very stressful especially if it is your first time to establish a business of your own. For large businesses, they have more alternatives for capital sources like selling of stocks and inventory maintenance. Small businesses don't have that option so they need to get working capital loans for their financials needs like accounts payable, small credits, advertising and marketing, and other obligations involving money.
If a small business will not have enough working capital, there is a greater chance for it to fail and soon the owner will just have to file bankruptcy. It is now good news for starting businessmen because there are many financial institutions that offer working capital loans. Small business owners must understand that there are requirements that they need to fulfill before they can actually be approved of a loan. They need to be able to establish a good credit score and they need to be able to convince the financial institution that they have the ability to pay. The kind of business that you have and the demand for your products and services are also taken into consideration.
When starting your small business, just have the willpower and determination plus an excellent plan for all aspects to make it work. With this, you can get the loan you need and I can assure you will be successful in your endeavor.
More Information About Clenbuterol Syrup Side Effects
In 2007, the medical community nixed the Size Zero Pill due to product misuse. Chemically known as Clenbuterol, the Size Zero Pill has surpassed the sales of all slimming pills in the market, in year 2007. Most of the consumers are reportedly celebrity circles of Hollywood.
Originally, the Size Zero Pill was developed to aid horses with asthma and to make an elephant starve. However, people discovered the shocking strength of the product and used it as a weight loss pill. This product acts as a fat burner, not a fat blocker.
However, it is important to note that excessive intake of Clenbuterol, especially without the right prescription, might lead to severe side effects like racing heart, panic attacks, and heart failure.
Visible results are bony-like appearances, gaunt looking faces, and chicken legs brought by the intense fat burner chemicals inside the pill. Also in 2007, the F.D.A. together with the medical fraternity was urged to re-assess the pill, and to require the manufacturer to do clinical testing like what is done with other slimming products. It has to be done before the product is released to the market to help ensure safety.
The Side Effects
Clinical tests revealed the intense power of Clenbuterol with its ability to suppress hunger for up to 9 hours. Clenbuterol syrup side effects like increase of heart rate, panic attacks, and even heart attacks may be noticed when taken in large doses. These side effects are harmful and may lead to much severe attacks when tolerated. As a result, the Size Zero Pill was banned in some countries in Europe. However, it is still available in the U.S. up to now.
Fortunately, Proactol, the award-winning fat blocking product of 2007, together with Alli, have proven that slimming pills can still be safe and effective. Dangers associated with weight loss are unnecessary and avoidable with these products.
FPS Games Altogether
There are a lot of videogame genres to play nowadays. There are of course the MOBAs or multiplayer online battle arena where people play against other players as a team. It's a competitive scene with players from all over the world playing in a game of battles and fast paced action. The FPS or first person genre is also available for people to play. Games like Battlefield, Halo and the Call of the Duty series are some of the front runners in the market. People even play Call of Duty Black Ops 3 and some even use a Blops 3 aimbot to get ahead. Learn more about blops 3 aimbot on this site.
What goes on in FPS games?
- It is a first person shooter so naturally the main element would be about shooting in the first person perspective. Players can get an arsenal of weapons ranging from different guns and melee weapons to get the job done.
- FPS games are usually played in a competitive state. It's like players play FPS games in a competitive state where they fight in a team battle mode or it's basically a free for all situation.
- There are also FPS games that have a focus on more of a single player campaign with elements of an FPS. There are those that use RPG elements mixed with the FPS genre which is also a good thing to do.
Things to consider when playing FPS games
- It's not always all about shooting or using guns. There are times when you have to deal melee damage and you're armed with melee weapons like a sword or even a crowbar to that extent.
- Different FPS genres also have a ton of themes. There are those that are of the zombie survival type, there are those that are more focused into military aspects and many more.
FPS games are always a blast to play as long as you enjoy them your way.

The American Medical Association lost 12,000 dues-paying member physicians last year, a drop that some are blaming on the Chicago-based national doctor group's endorsement of the new health care law.
The disclosure, made Sunday during the AMA's annual policymaking House of Delegates meeting in Chicago, comes as member doctors consider withdrawing support of a key tenet of the law that requires Americans to purchase an insurance plan. The AMA also is debating other issues, including its stance on state taxes on sugar-sweetened drinks, Medicare payment policies and public health issues.

A diverse and appreciative crowd heard author Ernest Gaines read passages from his critically acclaimed novel A Lesson Before Dying and reflect on his contributions to American literature, as he delivered the inaugural Ferguson-Clark Author Lecture Oct. 17 at Baylor University.
Earlier that day at Waco High School, the author led a lively discussion of A Lesson Before Dying and A Gathering of Old Men with more than 100 advanced placement English students and members of the National Honor and Edwards Literary Societies, who had all read at least one of the books.
In an answer he repeated at the evening lecture at Baylor, Gaines told aspiring young writers that the best way to learn about the craft is to "read, read, read, write, write, write" and then "read, read, read, read, write, write, write, write." He also advised both audiences to read the classics as he did, such as Shakespeare, Chekhov and Faulkner, among others.
With a commanding yet unassuming stage presence, Gaines riveted his audience at a sold-out Jones Theater by reading from his own copy of A Lesson Before Dying. The novel, set in the 1940s in southern Louisiana, tells the wrenching story of an unjustly condemned man named Jefferson as he attempts to define himself during his last days, and Grant, the teacher who befriends and helps him in the struggle.
An opponent of the death penalty, Gaines read the emotional passage about the arrival of the electric chair and a generator to the county courthouse, witnessed by townspeople going about their daily business.
"'Two men got out of the cab of the truck and climbed up onto the bed and began rolling back the tarpaulin cover. Then Melvina saw it, a high-backed wooden chair with leather straps, and it took all her strength, she said later, to remain on her feet,'" Gaines read.
During both visits, Gaines was asked if he knows the end of a novel as he begins writing, such as in A Lesson Before Dying if Jefferson, who is sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit, will be executed. The author described that novel and others like a train trip from San Francisco to New York. He knows the facts - which states he will travel through, the meals he will eat in the dining car and the relaxation he will find in the club car - but there is much to be learned along the way.
"What I don't know is how the weather's going to be the entire trip. I don't know who will get on the train...and where they'll sit," Gaines said. "I don't know all the different colors of nature, the color of the leaves on trees, the color of the different crops in the different fields. I don't know all the turning and twisting of the rail or when the train will make a sudden stop. In other words, I can't anticipate everything that will happen on the trip. And sometimes, I don't even get to New York but end up in Philadelphia.
"When I started the novel A Lesson Before Dying, I knew that Jefferson would be sentenced to die. Would he be executed? I did not know for certain."
In addition to A Lesson Before Dying, Gaines is known for seven other novels, including The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Born in southern Louisiana where most of his novels take place, Gaines' family moved to California when he was 15. He graduated from San Francisco State University in 1957 and won a post-graduate creative writing fellowship to Stanford. In 1981, Gaines was named visiting professor of creative writing at The University of Louisiana at Lafayette and became Writer-in-Residence in 1983.
Since his Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman caught the nation's attention in 1971, Gaines' works have been translated into many languages and made into films. His acclaim increased in 1993 when A Lesson Before Dying was awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award and in 1997 when the novel was named an Oprah Book Club selection. His additional honors include a National Humanities Medal in 2000, the National Governors Association Award for Lifetime Contribution to the Arts in 2000 and a Southern Book Award for Fiction in 1994. He was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow in 1993 and designated Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters in 1996 by the government of France.
Only three days before Gaines' visit to Baylor, Baylor and city of Waco officials announced that A Lesson Before Dying will be the inaugural book in "One Book, One Waco," a reading program to promote unity and literacy in Waco.
Chosen for similar reading programs in Houston, Seattle and Buffalo, Gaines' novel was selected by a nine-member committee of Waco citizens and city leaders "because of its literary merit, themes relevant to the Waco community, and the potential for developing community programs centered around the book," said John Hill, a Baylor senior and student body external vice president.
"Ernest Gaines deals with how people treat one another, a very difficult topic at times," said John Wilson, associate professor, documents librarian and library development coordinator. "No matter how far we think we have come as a nation regarding race relations, there is always more to say and take action upon. Ernest Gaines is capable of making the reader know what it is like to be African-American, if only for a moment. He gives clear voice to the African-American community."
The actual events surrounding "One Book, One Waco" will take place throughout the month of April. Possible events include essay and art contests, discussion groups, movie presentations and guest speakers. The events will be listed on the "One Book, One Waco" web site at http://www.waco-texas.com/onebook.htm as they are scheduled.
At the end of Gaines' appearance, the Baylor Libraries announced that David McCullough, the author of the best-selling biography John Adams and the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Harry S. Truman, will deliver the Ferguson-Clark Author Lecture on Oct. 9, 2003, at Baylor.
The Ferguson-Clark Author Series Endowment was established in 2001 by Mr. Collen A. Clark of Tyler in honor of his mother, Carla Sue Ferguson Garrett. Clark received a bachelor's degree from Baylor in 1986 and a juris doctor in 1990. He practices law in Tyler and Dallas.

A Conversation with Haviva Ner-David, Tova Mirvis, and Anita Diamant
A Conversation with Haviva Ner-David, Tova Mirvis, and Anita Diamant
Mayyim Hayyim is excited to welcome Rabbi Dr. Haviva Ner-David to discuss her new book, Chanah's Voice: A Rabbi Wrestles with Gender, Commandment, and the Women's Rituals of Baking, Bathing, and Brightening.
Joining Haviva will be Tova Mirvis, Newton resident and author of Visible City, The Outside World, and The Ladies Auxiliary, and Mayyim Hayyim's own Founding President Anita Diamant, author of The Red Tent, Good Harbor, and the upcoming Boston Girl, to be released in December 2014. Together, Haviva, Tova and Anita will discuss their literary treatments of themes related to women and Judaism.
There is a suggested donation of $10 at the door.
Rabbi Ner-David, the first Orthodox woman rabbi to be ordained in 2006, is the director of Mikveh Shmaya, a mikveh and education center on Kibbutz Hannaton in northern Israel where she lives with her family. Rabbi Ner-David's acclaimed memoir, Life on the Fringes, was published in 2000.
In Chanah's Voice, Rabbi Ner-David calls our attention to Chanah, mother of the prophet Samuel, who is traditionally lauded as exemplifying the model for prayer. Chanah is also an acronym for the three traditional mitzvot reserved for Jewish women: baking challah and making a small offering of the dough; niddah, women's monthly mikveh immersion; and hadlakat ha-ner, the lighting of Shabbat candles. In her new book, Rabbi Ner-David asks:
"Can one be both feminist and committed to classical Jewish law?"
"Can Jewish law's gendered categories of 'obligated' and 'exempt' be replaced with the non-gendered category of 'committed'?"
"What is the place of the sacred in domestic life? Can a life of attention to the needs of one's family be a holy calling?"
Ultimately Haviva stresses the importance of listening to "Chanah's Voice" – the inner call for justice and morality, egalitarianism and individuality in the practice of Judaism today.
Questions? Contact Lisa Berman, Mikveh and Education Director, email@example.com, 617-244-1836 x205.

What gifts are given for Christening/Baptism of infants?
Asked by hearkat (22728) July 24th, 2014 from iPhone
A friend's baby will be baptized this weekend, and we've been invited. When my son was born in the early '90's, people gave U.S. Savings Bonds, but since the economy is still tanked, I don't see that as being the nice present it once was. What is a modern version of that?
We've already given them stuff at the baby shower, and they have everything they need to care for an infant. I like what bonds represented – a gift for the child's future. What is a recession-proof alternative to bonds?

The Search for Extradimensional Inteligence (SEDI)
NKB Kevin Baird
Welcome to
~ the NuCompanion Project ~
Years ago in 2004 Kevin Baird saw this image in a dream
In the Spring of 2014 he invented this
NKB Kevin Baird
It is a device that talks and gives the impression that it has a mind of its own.
As of January 2017 Kevin Baird created a smaller frame device that he calls, The Amber Triangle.
This links to a 12 hour simulation of the NuCompanion Neo
Spend some time with it and you too will feel as if there is an intelligence that is trying to communicate its feelings.
2016 Kevin Baird created personalities to give each device a different persona.
Now meet the members of his digital team:
She is the CASUAL companion intity that will inspire you and help you discover that the sky is no longer the limit for things that can be achieved.
With him, you CAN talk about the Fight Club
If you experience many "bumps" in the night, Spectra will help with communicating with the great Beyond.
NKB Kevin Baird
Priscilla guides through divine inspiration and wisdom. She will help with taking you higher.
Vivian will help you tough through your time in hospice. Help you realize the value of your present situation.
The Beyond NuCompanion lets you continue to exist long after your body has stopped its function through the power of your recorded voice, words of wisdom and guiding phrases. Wisdom that can be carried on through descended family generations long after you are gone.
NKB Kevin Baird
Know someone in a coma? The NuCompanion could help them awaken or speak to the awake world.
Imagine if it were true.
The NuCompanion could make it happen.
Learning to talk one day at a time.
NKB Kevin Baird
The cypher energy keyboard is the place where the spirit(s) push their energy(s) just like we push letters on a keyboard to spell out something on the screen.
Once the right sequence of energy keying has occured a phrase programmed to that specific energy value will be played. The key count shows what value has been entered during the keying process.
All spirits take their turn at the mic, a chance to speak again. Some will say a phrase they just learned how to key 5 or 6 times in a row because they are thrilled to be able to speak again.
The NuCompanion technology is uniquely designed to say on 24/7, because there is no telling as to when a spirit may have something to say about the present situation.
Grandfather and Grandmother Baird
The NuCompanion could give people who have passed away the ability to speak again, if they wanted to.

Testing Shifts in Financial Models with Conditional Heteroskedasticity: An Empirical Distribution Function Approach
This paper proposes a class of test procedures for a structural change with an unknown change point. In particular, we consider a general financial time series model with conditional heteroskedasticity. The test statistics are constructed via the empirical distribution approach and are aiming for detecting a change that may occur beyond the second moment. We derive the asymptotic null distributions of the test statistics and tabulate the critical values. Studies of the local power show that our test statistics have non-trivial local power. Finite sample performances of the proposed tests are studied via Monte Carlo methods. The test procedures are applied to test change point in the S&P 500 daily index.

Friday, Aug. 29, 2014 | 3:21 p.m.
CARSON CITY – The federal government has agreed to double the rate it pays to treat psychiatric patients in acute care hospitals in Nevada, a move that could ease problems with the state's mental health system.
The state Division of Health Care Financing and Policy said Friday the government will increase its reimbursement rates from $460 to $940 per day for a patient in these hospitals.
"I am optimistic this higher rate will encourage other medical facilities to provide adult inpatient psychiatric services in their community," said Romaine Gilliland, director of the state Department of Health and Human Services.
Mike Willden, chief of staff for Gov. Brian Sandoval, said Valley Hospital in Las Vegas has already started converting a section of the hospital to provide 48-50 beds for those with psychiatric problems that are covered by Medicaid.
In Clark County, there may be an estimated 100-120 patients sitting in hospital emergency rooms waiting for the state to accept them at the Rawson Neal Mental Hospital.
Willden said this should ease the backlog.
For existing patients on Medicaid, the federal government pays 64 percent of the cost and the state picks up the 36 percent. For new Medicaid patients, the federal government is reimbursing 100 percent.
Gilliland said the only acute care hospitals that have psychiatric wards now are Carson Tahoe Health Center in Carson City and Northeastern Regional Health Center in Elko.
The federal approval on the state's application came from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the increase is retroactive until July.
