In three years at Pepperdine, Taylor Darby earned a reputation as a good basketball player, but a great student.
As a senior, the student part hasn't changed.
The former Mission Hills High star was recently named to the Academic All-District 8 first team. To be considered for the five-member team that includes schools in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Canada, a player must be a starter or major contributor to his team and maintain at least a 3.3 grade-point average.
An integrated marketing major, Darby boasted a GPA nearly as high as his scoring average in his first three years with the Waves — 6.1 as a freshman, 6.3 as a sophomore and 7.7 as a junior.
But after scoring 17 points Saturday in a Senior Night win over Portland, the 6-foot-8 Darby leads the Waves, averaging 12.0 points a game.
"We lost our top three scorers from last season, and our perimeter guys this season aren't scorers," Pepperdine coach Bobby Wilson said. "So I asked Taylor to step up. I challenged him. I asked him to score, rebound and help the young players.
"Taylor is a first-class kid, and I knew he was capable of doing everything I asked. He's a low-maintenance kid, on and off the court, never a problem, a joy to coach. He was never the focal point of this team, but he accepted that role this season."
Darby was the focal point at Mission Hills, especially as a senior when he led the Grizzlies to a 25-8 record and an appearance in the CIF San Diego Division II title game, which they lost to Hoover. That season, he averaged 20.3 points and 11.8 rebounds, had 21 double-doubles and was a first-team All-CIF selection.
He had several solid college offers, narrowing his choices down to Long Beach State, Cal Poly, Portland and San Diego State.
"But I chose Pepperdine because it's a smaller school, a beautiful, quiet campus where I could focus on basketball and my studies," he said.
Darby will graduate this spring and hopes to land a job in sports marketing at a major company or at a college.
There are, however, two points of unfinished business. He wants to leads the 9-18 Waves deep into the West Coast Conference tournament. And he'd like to play at least a couple of seasons of pro ball in Europe.
"I want to play as long as I can," Darby said. "I want to see what's out there. The body doesn't hold out forever, so I want to give pro ball a try.
"I'm smarter as a player now. I know what shots to take. The game has slowed down for me over the years.
"I like getting out in transition. I have a good jump shot from 12-15 feet. And I can catch the ball on the wing and blow by a defender. Plus, I can play with my back to the basket if needed."
Darby has played in all 123 games since he arrived at Pepperdine, starting 109, including all 27 this season.
"The team has looked to me to score and lead this season," Darby said. "I enjoy the responsibility.
"I really enjoy playing for Coach Wilson. He challenged me, and he trusted that I'd accept the challenge."

Time Magazine has named HIV specialist Dr. Hannah Gay, University of Mississippi Medical Center associate professor of pediatrics, to the 2013 TIME 100, the magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. In caring for a newborn infected with HIV in 2010, Gay followed an atypical treatment regimen and functionally cured the baby. She and her colleagues, Dr. Deborah Persaud, Johns Hopkins Children's Center virologist, and University of Massachusetts Medical School immunologist Dr. Katherine Luzuriaga, who were also named to the TIME 100 list, presented the child's case report in March at a scientific meeting in Atlanta. The report is the world's first to describe an HIV functional cure in an infant. Gay said she is honored and wants the recognition to highlight the efforts of physicians and scientists worldwide working in HIV prevention, care and research.

by Stephanie on 10/8/2017
This flavor reminds me of my childhood. Strawberry milk shakes! Yum
by Mom2Seven on 1/25/2017
Not as good as I had hoped. I made this as a pudding w/ 4oz of cashew milk. I wanted to love it. But I did not. I just had to down it fast. I would be willing to try it as a shake to see if its better.
by Robin on 10/3/2016
Smooth and tasty
Not the best
by Laura on 10/2/2016
Not my favorite. All the others I have tried have been a lot better. Tastes too artificial. Vanilla and chocolate shakes are good.
Not my favorite
by M. on 6/13/2016
Out of the ones I have tried so far, this is not my favorite at all, it's too chalky for my preference. I would definitely go with the Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie if you're a fan of anything strawberry related.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & lawman
The company in the other country talks only to me untill there is MAYBE a deal for this, this company is maybe producing a million units a year at 10currency a unit and they have to pay a 140.000currency for licence and 3% royalty per unit, what is the commission for such a deal and how to proceed if the the company accept the price and contract.
So dont pitch too low - ask for more than you want and deal down.
Made a similar deal once where I charged 8% of what they made or something. Sounds small but I got a pretty good deal for just some e-mailing and faxing around, and the same client keeps coming back.
If it is an introductory thing and you have no admin to do then go for an introductory lump sum payment as a finder's fee and a small residual commission of 2-3%. This is because if you are not in control of the ordering process you are not seen as being in the loop so you will eventually be resented and phased out or cheated so get the bulk of the money up-front.
A better deal would be that the buying company sends all orders to you you pass them to the selling company who then sends you a copy of the invoice. You then invoice the selling company monthly for your commission. Commission rates vary by industry but 5 -10% would be "normal" in my industry. The big advantage of doing it this way is that you are seen to be obtaining every individual order, so you become an important link in the chain of business and you are less likely to be seen as an unessecary expense.
If you are buying the goods then selling them on then 20% should be your absolute minimum. That's 20% off the selling price i.e. you buy for 0.80 and sell for 1.00. We aim for 45% off (buy at 0.55 and sell at 1.00) on some products we settle for 35% but where we can we get more depending on the market situation. You have to factor in the cost of transport , warehousing, admin, marketing and finance in such a deal and you also need to have a good understanding and agreement of who bears the cost when things go wrong, i.e. what happens to customer returns under warranty and out of warranty.

I don't follow any sports (with the weird exception of the Olympics, which I categorize as a reality show), but even I had heard that Christian QB Tim Tebow was switching teams and joining the New York Jets. Although the team plays in New Jersey, his proximity to the Big Apple has plenty of businesses hoping for a Tebow-related boost and delis all over town are coming up with Tebow-related sandwich names.
There's one surprising offer for Tebow, though: The Book of Mormon. The megahit Broadway show wants Tebow to come check out the show, and they sweetened the deal by offering him an onstage cameo. What is this, Spamalot?
Still, considering how hard it is to get Book of Mormon tickets, Tebow may want to take the play up on its offer. And he could probably find some cute Hollywood starlet to go as his date.

The Record Breaker trailer2:42
Ashrita Furman is the greatest record breaker of all time. Hula Hoops, Pogo sticks and malt balls, he's done it all.
MEET Ashrita Furman.
He is the coolest guy in the world. He is a guy that sees a record, then smashes it.
When most people get bored, they go to the pub. Not Ashrita. The 59-year-old American bobs apples, slices potatoes while hopping on a shovel, cycles underwater, crushes eggs with his big toe and sometimes balances a lawnmower on his chin. For fun.
With 230 world records destroyed, he's the biggest record breaker in history.
Today, he still holds 148 places in The Guinness Book Of Records.
His greatest achievement? "The record for the most number of records held by any individual."
It all started in 1979, when he set his first official record by doing 27,000 jumping jacks.
Check out all Ashrita's records here.
This is what he did after that.

Maybe 1,000 words of text was okay in 2001, but it's 2012 now and tastes have changed! Images are now vital to the popularity and shareability of web content.
People just like visual content. Whether it is images, videos or even the design on the page and site – if you grab attention with your content then you encourage clicking, engaging and sharing!
Every blog post we write involves a trip to Photoshop, whether it is just to touch up an image and optimise it for the web, to manipulate an image for our purposes or even to create images from scratch. Photoshop is an essential tool for anyone involved in web content.
In fact, a lot of the people who come on our 2 day Photoshop course are there to learn how to use the tool so they can make their site more attractive to users.
We also have a Photoshop for Web Graphics course that looks specifically at images for web content – ideal for any current or future bloggers!
Still not convinced? These 5 reasons should change your mind:
1. Images draw attention on a page
When creating content on your site – product pages, blog posts or any type of page – you can use images to draw your visitors' attention to a particular point on the page.
For example, if you have a particular offer on a product just writing that into the product description isn't going to attract attention. Create a banner or advert like image to instantly draw potential customer to the offer.
Images can be used to break up big chunks of text and, by placing an image just above the fold, it also encourages people to scan down and continue reading. They scroll down to see the rest of the image and continue to read the post.
Many heat map studies have shown that web users focus most of their attention on images on websites, so don't just be happy with one image at the top of the page. Dot images throughout your content and keep your users visually stimulated.
2. Images demand sharing
Twitter is currently alone in a sea of image based social networks, all the others attach image snippets, or in the case of Pinterest just show an image! Users are far more likely to share your content if it has an amusing, interesting or controversial image than if it is plain text.
Especially if you work in Photography or Design, your pictures are what make you stand out and not your writing.
3. Pictures say a thousand words
If you are struggling to make a point with words then you should try using pictures to illustrate your point. How To's and guides work better with examples and screenshots that show the reader exactly how to do something. It's often frustrating to read a 'how to' post and find that the instruction doesn't match the reality. With images you can check that you are following the instructions exactly and compare the results.
Have a look at our tutorial on saving for the web in Photoshop as an example. By annotating screen shots, Craig created images that not only helped the learner but that were easily shareable.
4. Image encourage clicks from social shares
Killer headlines are important for clicks from social networks, but images are too. Especially on Pinterest, where all users see is an image.
Your followers (or the followers of people who share your content) are more likely to click on a link that has a great image attached, not only because they want to see the image in full but also because shares with images attached stand out on social timelines.
5. Images gain traffic from Google Images Search (and other reputable image search engines)
As well as gaining traffic from social media, you should also consider image search engines as a great way to gain clicks. Make sure your image filename, title and alt title include the keywords for your content. Then, when users search for images, they will click through to your page.
Just make sure the page itself is good enough to convert this traffic, otherwise they may just turn up, nab your image and disappear, leaving a high bounce rate in their wake. If you're worried about people using your images then add a watermark or an indiscreet logo, people are going to use your images no matter what your attribution policy is so at least make it forced attribution. If the image goes viral, your name is attached and you get great exposure!

The new multi-polar international monetary system
Backed by rapid economic growth, growing financial clout, and a newfound sense of assertiveness in recent years, the BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India, and China - are a driving force behind an incipient transformation of the world economy away from a US-dominated system toward a multipolar one in which developing countries will have a major say. It is, however, in the international monetary arena that the notion of multipolarity - more than two dominant poles - commands renewed attention and vigorous debate. For much of its history, the quintessential structural feature of the international monetary system has been unipolarity - as American hegemony of initiatives and power as well as its capacity to promote a market-based, liberal order came to define and shape international monetary relations. As other currencies become potential substitutes for the US dollar in international reserves and in cross-border claims, exchange rate volatility may become more severe. There are also risks that the rivalry among the three economic blocs may spill over into something more if not kept in check by a strong global governance structure. While the transition will be difficult and drawn out, governments should take immediate steps to prevent financial volatility by enhancing cooperation on monetary policies, currency market intervention and financial regulation.

Sir Alexander Mackenzie (1764-1820) is a Canadian hero. An early fur trader and explorer, he led a daring expedition across Canada to the Pacific Ocean. His incredible journey was completed in 1793, 11 years before Americans Lewis and Clark began their famous expedition to the West.
Mackenzie was determined to succeed, for an earlier attempt in 1789 had ended in failure. His crew of 12 explorers in three canoes had set out from Lake Athabasca in an effort to find a water route to the Pacific. The valiant group followed a mighty river (now named the Mackenzie) with high hopes, paddling furiously amid great danger. Unfortunately, it didn't empty into the Pacific but into the Arctic Ocean. In his diary, Mackenzie called it the "River of Disappointment."
Many people are following religions that lead to ultimate disappointment. Because these beliefs do not point to Christ, they are false and will not lead to heaven. Only Jesus can take us to the waters of eternal life (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).
We must not be fooled by those who teach another way to God. And we must help others to see that Jesus Christ is humanity's only hope. By trusting Him as our Savior, we will not end up on a "River of Disappointment."
Man gropes his way through life's dark maze,
To gods unknown he often prays,
Until one day he meets God's Son—
At last he's found the Living One! —D. De Haan
Those who put their hope in Christ will never be disappointed.

Framed Cover Art
I got some new cover art framed. Eventually these will hang in my hallway, but for now they have pride of place on top of a bookshelf in my living room. The paper lying flat in front of them is a sketch of several John Wayne studies, a gift from a friend at church. :)
Do you frame your cover art? Do you plan to frame some?
13 comments:
Ok, that's just full of awesomeness! YAY!!! Happy Wednesday!ReplyDelete
Love it! They're beautiful! Have you always loved all of your cover art? Would you still frame it if you didn't? :) (Just wondering...)ReplyDelete
I don't think I would've thought of framing it but now that you've put the thought in my head, yes, if I love it, I'll do it. :-)ReplyDelete
Such a rockin' idea! I will if I like the design. ;)ReplyDelete
~ Wendy
I love that you frame your covers. They are so beautiful! And, yes, if I ever get a book published I will frame the it whether I like the cover or not! :-)ReplyDelete
Btw, do you actually have to take the cover off of one of your books or does your publisher give you a print of your cover?
Hi, Jessica R. and a happy Wednesday to you too! :) Still squeeing about you signing with an agent!ReplyDelete
Lacie, I have always loved my cover art. Only once have I asked for a tweak to a cover, and the publisher gave it right away. :) I'd probably still frame the cover art, even if it wasn't my favorite.
Hi, Jessica, it's such a cool feeling to see it up there on the wall. I hope you fall in love with your book cover, and that you run to Michaels to get a frame right away. :)ReplyDelete
Wendy, I hope you run out of wall-space framing all your awesome book covers!
Hi, Mary, the publisher sends a stack of cover flats (the book cover with no book in it and all laid out flat) and I trim the front of the cover flat to fit the mat. This last time was a bit tricky, since there were 9 authors in the Log Cabin Christmas collection and the printer only sent 15 cover flats. We had to parcel them out, but it was very civilized. :D We mostly each asked for one, so there were some to spare.ReplyDelete
Katie, I can't wait to see your book cover!ReplyDelete
Stephanie, that's cool about the friend framing your cover art. I love all the TGIF/Applebee's stuff on the walls. I'm always craning my neck to see something in one of those restaurants. :)
Looks great!ReplyDelete

The West Port High head football coach accepted a job with Admiral Farragut in St. Petersburg after three years with the Wolf Pack.
Ryan Hearn is moving on.
The West Port High head football coach accepted a job with Admiral Farragut in St. Petersburg after three years with the Wolf Pack.
Hearn was a combined 14-17 over his three seasons. West Port didn't make the playoffs during his tenure, but the Pack did drop a postseason "bowl" game to Crystal River after Hearn's first season in 2010.
The Belleview High graduate and former USF player said the offer from the Class 3A private school — which will make him one of the highest paid prep coaches in the state — was simply too good to turn down.
"It's a tremendous opportunity for myself and my family, and I just can't pass it up," said Hearn, who received a three-year guaranteed contract. "(WPHS principal) Jayne Ellspermann was tremendous to me, the administration was tremendous, it had nothing to do with that. I'm a product of Marion County schools and I believe in Marion County schools. But this offer was just too good."
Hearn's biggest impact at West Port came on the recruiting front. The former Citadel recruiting coordinator produced the school's first-ever Division I football scholarships in February, sending three players to the D-I ranks. That hasn't slowed down this spring with four players on the current roster already holding D-I offers.
More than a dozen players transferred in to play for Hearn at West Port this fall, which made the move even tougher for the 33-year-old coach, who says he turned down at least a half-dozen other offers during his time at West Port.
"I felt like I owed West Port something," Hearn said. "This is a place I grew up and it's a very special place to me.
"But the kids were great about it. They were very supportive — they understood. I was dreading it because they were the main reason I wanted to stay. We've grown very close over our time together, but they understood I had to do what's best for my family."
West Port is now faced with finding a replacement for Hearn, who has been overseeing summer workouts at the school. Athletics director Robbie Lindeman said he was surprised by the decision and doesn't currently have a list of potential replacements together yet. But he did indicate that he'd like to fill the position as soon as possible.
The Wolf Pack are also tasked with making the difficult jump to 8A this year, facing state powerhouse Jacksonville First Coast, along with Flagler Palm Coast, Mandarin and Sandalwood in their new 8A-1 assignment.
But Hearn seems to think the Wolf Pack — who haven't made the playoffs since their lone appearance in 2002 at the 2A level — are ready to compete in the state's largest classification.
"I think the future at West Port is very promising," he said. "I think there are a lot of great players and I think we've made some great strides during my three years there. The next few years can be very successful if they keep buying in and working hard."
Hearn, meanwhile, takes over an Admiral Farragut program that went 8-2 last year, but missed the playoffs. The Bluejackets will move up from 2A to the 3A ranks this season, competing against Calvary Christian, Clearwater Central Catholic, Shorecrest Prep and St. Petersburg Catholic in District 3A-5.

The LG GT540 was first showcased back at CES this year, and while it may not have been explosive enough to blow the socks off anyone even remotely interested in the Android platform, it's still an LG manufactured Android device. That's something noteworthy in of itself. It's been several months since its debut, so it's good to see the device is available on a carrier, even if it isn't one in the United States.
The LG GT540 is now known as the Loop for Rogers customers, and it features Android 1.6 under the hood. There have been a few tweaks to the User Interface, courtesy of LG, but there's no telling on how deep the skin actually goes. As for updates to Android 2.x, no word on that, either. Which isn't a good sign at all, truth be told. As for other features, you're looking at a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 480×320. There's a 3MP camera on the back, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. In the box you'll find a 2GB microSD card, but it can be expanded to 32GB if you so desire. It has the standard integrated WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth connectivity, too. As far as pricing goes, you're looking at $30CAD with a new three-year contract, $200CAD on a two-year deal, or $300CAD without a contract. This is an entry-level device, apparently, so the pricing makes sense.

Trixie is very bored. In an effort to relieve said boredom, she is reading her textbooks on magic.
This is a very bad idea.
The result? A spell goes wrong and Ponyville ends up with two Trixies, or at least two pieces of Trixie.
One is carefree, pompous, and just a wee bit more arrogant than usual about her powers.
The other is a nervous wreck that can't work up the courage to do anything based on the thought that it'll lead to a personal failure in her responsibilities.
They are two incomplete halves of a whole that have a spell to fix.
The problem with fixing it?
One of them decided to run off to Neigh Orleans during a night of endless partying.
A Lunaverse Story.

A major step forward
The staff at Pleasant Hill Library knows Cody Witt well. They even gave him a book bag to bring his books home and then back to the library.
The many trips to the library and check-out of more than 30 books at a time are just an inkling of how far the 10-year-old son of Greg and Dianne Witt of Hastings has come in the last three years.
Cody was diagnosed at a young age with a severe case of Landau-Kleffner syndrome, a rare, childhood epileptic disorder characterized by loss of language and abnormal electro-encephalogram (EEG) readings. His parents tried different treatments, including Valium therapy, vitamin diet and brain surgery. The brain surgery option provided short-term hope. But it failed to permanently slow the many seizures Cody was experiencing.
In November of 2003, a small electrical generator was implanted into Cody's chest. The battery-operated device sends tiny electrical shocks through wires attached to the Vagus nerve, which in turn activates certain areas of Cody's brain. The treatment, called Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy, can be effective in epilepsy patients resistant to traditional drug therapy. The stimulants sent from the device tell the brain to calm down, which in turn gives those with epilepsy more self-control.
Almost three years after the implant, Cody is an active 10-year-old. He attends New Visions School in northeast Minneapolis on a full-time basis as a fifth-grader.
"He knows the alphabet and how to spell his name," his father said. "He's talking and learning new words, and he's playing with the kids at school."
Cody has truly progressed after several failed treatments.
The Valium treatment left Cody inebriated for two weeks. When the Valium was discontinued, the seizures continued, often more than 60 a day.
Treatment options
When Cody was being treated at Children's Hospital in St. Paul, the family heard about about VNS therapy. After the doctors initially confirmed Cody was eligible for the treatments, they reversed themselves and recommended a lobotomy.
"They said he was too young, had too many seizures, and already had brain surgery," his father said. The family decided to seek a second opinion.
They called the Cyberonic Corporation in Houston, Texas. The company makes the devices used in VNS therapy.
The company's representative worked with the pediatrician at Gillette Children's Specialty Care in St. Paul. The positive results were almost immediate.
Specialized programs
The New Visions School, which specialized in programs and activities designed to help children with special needs such as autism and epilepsy, offers Cody the specialized help he needs in such areas as language and behavior.
He attended the summer session to ensure his progress would continue. An individual education plan (IEP) is updated as necessary.
Cody's weekends are filled with library trips, and he walks with family members. He follows his dad on his tree service, raking up small pieces of tree branches.
A typical boy
"He doesn't look any different from any other kid," his father said. "And the teachers go into each other's rooms to tell each other how well he is doing. They really care about him at the school."
The Witts indicated Cody's generator has not had any major maintenance repair. The battery may have to be replaced in the next several years.
The Witts do not how far Cody will progress. For now, they are pleased and grateful at the progress he has shown in the past three years, and he appears happy as well.
"He laughs and smiles all the time," his father said.

A Couple Trips to Seattle and Why Roadfood .com Is Still Important To Me
I have not been traveling as much due to my health and the economy.But i was able to make a trip to Seattle last fall for a day and last weekend for a day and a half. In both cases roadffood.com made the trip more enjoyable and pleasurable than it would have been otherwise.
Last fall son Sam and I made our annual trip to see the Seattle Mariners play a game. He had spent the summer passing a geometry course so our trip was in late September. We were fortunate to see the M's best pitcher Felix Hernandez pitch and to see the American League's best team. the Texas Rangers play. Unfortunately the game was a microcosm of the Mariner season.
We sat in the King's Court, a section of the stands where the fans of king Felix sit. You wear your free yellow t-shirt, carry a yellow K card for strikeouts and are obligated to stand up and yell as loud as you can whenever king felix gets two strikes on a hitter. And he pitched well ,striking out 7 and giving up three runs in 8 innings. Unfortunately former Mariner Adrian Beltre hit a two-run homer and all-star outfielder Joey hamilton climbed the left field fence and took a two run homer from Mariner Mike Carp. So another fine pitching performance by Felix was wasted and the M's lost 3-0. It had been a miserable day, almost all rain and gray skies so the roof had been up at Safeco field. The drive back was equally dismal, a dark, black sky the whole 3 hrs from Seattle to Portland.
But Roadfood bailed us out. A post from Bruce Bilmes had informed us that the road food reviewed Ezell's chicken had opened a branch in Kent, a Seattle suburb south of Seattle. We stopped for lunch there and were able to feast on some most excellent fried chicken. After the game we crossed Lake Washington's floating bridge and took a brief journey to Kirkland for a stop at Spud fish and chips, a road food reviewed place that my good friend Wandering Jew has raved about for years. Spud is a small fish and chips place on the shore of Lake Washington in the Juanita section of Kirkland. There was a small park across from the place where a small group of folks were parasailing, providing colorful and interesting entertainment during dinner. The halibut fish and chips were huge and not greasy, probably the best fish and chips i've ever had. Son Sam, a fish and chips expert pronounced them the best he'd ever had. Thank you road food for letting me know about these wonderful spots in the burbs that i most likely would not have found on my own.
Last week, we had a return trip to the Seattle area. A friend of Sam's who has been in the army in Afghanistan for the last two years ,returned home and we took him and Sam to Seattle to see the Mariners play the Oakland Athletics. Trudy went with me to the Seattle Art Museum to see the only North American stop of a Gauguin exhibition. We dropped the boys off near the Pike Street Market and spent our afternoon with Gauguin and south sea art. It was a very interesting exhibition with a lot of Gauguin works present but even more art from the islands, including war clubs, wooden boxes and various statues of native religious figures. The interpretive emphasis was on how the natives influenced the artist and understanding how Gauguin's lack of knowledge about the culture led to misinterpretation of native feelings and emotions. The art was first rate and you easily see how Gauguin's classical art training was so omnipresent in his works on the islanders(the classical art triangular composition infused many of his paintings here.)The colors and vibrancy of his art are so different in person. The native are was also quite fascinating(including some features on the tattoo arts of the south pacific). I'm a little sad this will be the only North American stop for the exhibit.
After dropping Trudy off at our hotel, I met the boys at the ballpark. Sam had splurged for expensive seats and miracle of miracles, Sam got a baseball which he generously gave to his friend. The food at the game was almost road food worthy. Ivar's has a stand at the stadium and I had a salmon caesar salad that was excellent. Sam had two orders of garlic fries from the Kidd Valley stand. new Mariner acquisition Jesus Montero hit a 425 foot home run and drove in 2 more runs with a double, Hector Noesi pitched 8 innings of shutout ball and the M's won 4-0. Sam's friend was so happy with the ball and i was happy to honor his service with this most American of pastimes.
The boys slept in the next day while trudy and i went to the Seatac location of the road food reviewed 13 Coins restaurant. I would not have known about this location except for buffet buster's trip report so i was grateful that Trudy and i were able to breakfast at such a great place close to our hotel. The hash browns were otherworldly and the eggs benedict as good as I have ever had.I am always delighted when road food places make a trip a little more special.
The trip home was uneventful though we did stop for cheeseburgers at the Burgerville in Woodland, Washington, a road food reviewed mini-chain that i like better than the more well known Five Guys and In N Out

Release Date: 2012 |
Good review, Good album.
Album Rating: 4.0great album, though i wasn't too fond of the first few tracks. need to listen to it some more
Love these guys in AFI and Blaqk Audio. Really need to hear this.
Looking forward to hearing this. I doubt I'll like it more than CexCells but more importantly I hope I do actually like it...
Digging: Beastmilk - Climax
Album Rating: 2.0I definitely want to check this one out, looks awesome
Album Rating: 5.0Go ahead then, the stream is still up on Buzznet
Album Rating: 3.5Hoping to pick this up in the morning, really love Davey's work.
Album Rating: 3.5Idk did you read the review/look at the band info?
good review pos. Wasn't too crazy about this but bliss is a great song.
Digging: Langhorne Slim - Lost At Last, Vol 1
Album Rating: 3.5"With Your Arms Around You" and "Bliss" really stand out for me on this album. Good review!
Album Rating: 4.5Thanks for all the feedback!
Album Rating: 3.0AFI's Davey Havok & Jade Puget return with their electronic side-project Blaqk Audio for 2nd LP 'Bright Black Heaven'. Despite 5 years between releases, this is practically more of the same from the duo: blurring the line between industrial dark-wave & clubby synth-pop by attempting to inject their goth leanings into 80s influenced dance music. Again, it's an acquired taste... Again, it shows promise... And again it's very hit & miss. Despite the stylistic diversity, 48 minutes feels bloated since Havok's vocals add an air of homogeny & they never really hit a home run. Recommended Tracks: Deconstructing Gods, Faith Healer & With Your Arms Around You.
Album Rating: 4.0Bought this a couple days ago m/
Album Rating: 4.0I love this.
Album Rating: 2.0Can't say the same myself unfortunately
Album Rating: 3.5Dropping this down some, still enjoyable though.
Album Rating: 2.0Unfortunately I don't think the same, which stinks because I really want to like this.
Album Rating: 3.5I love the first one, haven't pinpointed what I dislike on this one yet.

Reviews & ratings Bruges - Paris
The train departs on time, the travel was very confortable
Everything was great except price.It can be cheaper
It was an amazing journey through north France to Belgium, overseeing wonderful landscaping through windows on train smoothly running. Although not to many options for breakfast at the car, the service at train was very good overall.
I took the train from Paris Gare du Nord to Brugge and it was an excellent connection, taking 2:26h on a direct line. The THALYS was very modern, well equipped and comfortable. I was surprised to learn that your dinner is included in the price and to top it all off there was a vegetarian choice!!! I was unhappy I had just eaten in the Gare du Nord, the typical French traveller baguette, which is not healthy and medium quality. Next time I know better. I highly recommend this train and service. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and the booking on the internet was very quick and easy.
The train was very clean and comfy and would defiantly be using it again. Was a slight delay but nothing they could of done about it, and they kept us up-to date with times and what was happening.
I would use it again

my husband was diagnosed in March of 2008. His cancer is also inoperable - tumors in the liver, spleen, pelvic, chest lymph nodes, omentum and extending to his right kidney. He is 44. I am assuming you started with gemcetabine? Did they use Tarceva too (oral med). How about Lovenox (for clots)? My husband had this treatment for 4 months. The first 2 months it worked, the second 2 months it didn't. Watch for the jaundice - his came in July (this is how we knew the gencetabine was not working). They put in billiary tubes to drain his liver and he is doing much better. They also switched him to Oxylaplatin, 5FU and Leucovorin. His still takes the Tarceva and Lovenox shots everyday as well. The Oxy worked great until the 22nd week. At that point, they had to take him off because of nerve damage. We are not sure what is next. They have kept him on the remaining meds to see if his CA19-9 rebounds. It is down to 4400 from 32,000.
Since your cancer is contained, hopefully you will have more time. I am sure you have checked the statistics - they are not good. We are hoping to have another year or so together before he fails. I hope you have much more time than that. Best of luck and God's Blessings -

I am sorry to hear about your news. My mother was diagnosed during the holidays (syptoms started during Thanksgiving). My father is a physician (internist) and told me and my siblings of the poor prognosis of the disease. For this reason, my father has spent many hours reviewing studies, other avenues, etc. My family decided to pursue an alternative treatment. We went to Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Issacs office and my mother has started her treatment. So far she is feeling great - no pain (her cancer is metastatic - is also in her liver.) I have even spoken to a Dr.Gonzalez's patient that survived metastatic colon cancer - after she was given a poor prognosis. I definitely see a positive change in my mom and would encourage you to read up on it. I come from a family of conventional doctors and for my dad to tell me that Dr. Gonzalez's results are the best he has seen - definitely peaked my interest in this.

Hi. I just signed up and I'm not sure I am in the right place. I haven't been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer but its very suspect.
Mar 20, 2009 - 9:52 am
Hi Jo_Mac,
My husband was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer having a slightly elevated ca19-9 level. Our oncologist told us that there are a number of conditions besides the cancer that can raise that value. He said that once undergoing some kind of treatment and if then we still see it rising, we may be concerned. So don't worry until you discover the true reason for the increased value. Increased bilireubin amoung other factors can also increase this. keep us informed of how you are doing and I will certainly include you in our prayers.

The National Mesothelioma Law Firm of Baron and Budd Applauds U.S Congress for Passing High Mortality Cancer Bill Signed into Law
Mesothelioma Lawyers at Baron and Budd Applaud Passage of Bill That Will Help Fund Research for Lung Cancer
DALLAS (PRWEB) January 08, 2013
The national mesothelioma law firm of Baron and Budd commends Congress for approving a bill that will greatly aid those suffering from asbestos-related lung cancer and mesothelioma. Recently, President Barack Obama signed the High Mortality Cancer Bill into law just as the 112th congress came to a close. This piece of legislation is the first of its kind and presents a widespread research development plan to dramatically increase survival rates for high mortality cancers. The new law will give lung and pancreatic cancers priority status in research endeavors.
The High Mortality Cancer bill was incorporated in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013, and was signed just hours before the session ended. The breakthrough legislation requires the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to create scientific frameworks for addressing cancers with survival rates of less that 50 percent, with precedence being given to patients with pancreatic and lung cancer.
After the legislation passed, Lung Cancer Alliance President and CEO Laurie Fenton Ambrose said that this legislation was the best possible present to begin the new year for all those at risk for lung cancer. The LCA began significant legislative efforts nearly six years ago.
"The War on Cancer legislation was passed in congress 40 years ago, but little progress has been made," said John Langdoc, mesothelioma lawyer at Baron and Budd. "Yet, the High Mortality Asbestos bill will bring new hope to those suffering from high-risk cancers and acknowledges lung cancer as a vital public health priority."
Currently, lung cancer's five-year survival rate is 15 percent, with the pancreatic cancer rate even lower at 5 percent. Many people only associate lung cancer with first or secondhand smoking, but asbestos exposure can also cause certain types of the deadly disease. People who were exposed to asbestos and also smoked are particularly at risk. Often, there is a stigma attached to those who suffer from lung cancer, that people somehow inflicted the disease upon themselves. However, more and more people are beginning to understand that lung cancer can affect anybody, especially those who have been in contact with asbestos-containing products or other environmental contaminants. To learn more about lung cancer survival rates, visit: http://www.lung.org/lung-disease/lung-cancer/resources/facts-figures/lung-cancer-fact-sheet.html
The Dallas-based mesothelioma law firm of Baron and Budd has been working on behalf of mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer patients for almost 35 years. The law firm knows how aggressive and deadly lung cancer and mesothelioma can be, and has lent its support several medical organizations to progress mesothelioma and lung cancer treatment. Baron and Budd congratulates Congress and President Obama for passing this milestone legislation and will be closely watching its development.

Our boys are lucky.
Really lucky.
They have Grandparents spanning from one side of the country to the other, and a few in between. I recently asked them about all of their Grandparents (with includes their Grandparents, Great-Grandparents, and "adopted" Grandparents) and this is what they had to say:
Mom: "What is your favorite thing about ______? What makes them so special?"
(In geographical order, from farthest away to closest)…
Grandma Teetsie (Terri)
Jack: "She talks to us on the phone."
Michael: "She writes to me on facebook and e-mails me."
Papa (Grandpa Al)
Jack: "We can go fishing with him."
Michael: "He takes us fishing."
Grandma Dawn
Jack: "She makes us orange juice… the fresh kind"
Michael: "She makes us root beer floats."
Grandpa Mike
Jack: "He can do magic!"
Michael: "He takes us in the pool."
Great-Grandma L.
Jack: "I like to play pool at her house."
Michael: "I love to play with all the legos at her house!"
Grandma Sharon
Jack: "We pet her doggie (Watson)."
Michael: "She writes XOXOXO on all of our cards."
Grandpa Ralph
Jack: "He has a ponytail."
Michael: "He goes swimming with us."
Jack: "She lets me have candy when she babysits."
Michael: "She tells me that I have to go to school to get smarter than the teacher."
Jack: "He plays Wii with us"
Michael: "He chases me with his motorcycle."
So, Grandparents… Thank you for giving our boys so much love and making them feel like they're the only 5 and 9 year-olds in the world. We love you.

ISLAMABAD, Sept 26: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked an election tribunal to entertain and decide within eight weeks a disqualification plea against federal minister for labour, manpower and overseas Pakistanis Ghulam Sarwar Khan.
A three-member bench comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar and Justice Saiyed Saeed Ashhad was hearing a petition filed by Engineer Jameel Malik, a rival candidate from NA-53, Taxila.
He had challenged the election of the minister to the National Assembly before an election tribunal on the ground that he possessed a bogus educational certificate. The tribunal, however, refused to entertain the petition stating that there was no attestation by the oath commissioner on his affidavits.
Mr Malik then approached the Supreme Court on March 6, 2004, seeking a directive against the judge of the tribunal to hear his petition on merit.
Appearing before the apex court in person, the petitioner argued that the election tribunal had wrongfully dismissed his petition as his affidavit was duly signed and attested by an oath commissioner.
After hearing the arguments, the bench allowed his appeal and issued directives to the tribunal.
BAILABLE OFFENCES: The same bench again directed all sessions judges of the country to ensure bail process to all under-trial prisoners involved in bailable offences. The sessions judges were directed to ensure release of all accused in jail involved in bailable offences on personal surety bonds.
The bench was told by the advocates general that all UTPs involved in bailable offences had been released after the completion of bail process and presently there was no such UTP in any jail of the country.
The chief justice on March 30 had directed all courts seized with the cases of prisoners involved in bailable offences to dispose of such cases within two weeks or release the prisoners by granting them the right of bail in case of prolonged litigation.

James Wigderson and his critics
From today's Sound Off in the Waukesha Freeman (just two quarters for all those coupons!):
Recently James Wigderson wrote, "Why own a pit bull?"' Shame on you, Mr. Wigderson. It's people like you running off at the mouth that give pit bulls a bad rap. Yes, your blatant disregarding ways in your article did nothing but that. As a spokeswoman from the Waukesha humane society wrote, "Pit bulls can be cream puffs and a golden retriever can be Godzilla."
It sounds as you know little about life itself. Why do kids kill other kids? Why do mothers kill their own children? …
My wife and I are very proud owners of three pit bulls. We have two 1-year-old girls and their mother who is 3 and have yet to have any problems with any of the three. Any animal can attack, as can humans.
Were you present when this 52-year-old woman was attacked? Do you have any knowledge of the way this woman raised the dog or treated this dog? Probably not, but let's blame the dog and its breed for this.
We consider our dogs part of our family, as do most pet owners.
I'm in disbelief on your wording in your article. Have you taken a good long look in the mirror? How would you be if you were abused or maybe were? Put yourself in a cage for hours and hours or just left alone – could you handle it? I don't believe you did research on pit bulls at all, as others should before you start running at the mouth. Now that's sounding off !
– C.D. Koehn
I would just like to say that I am against mothers killing their children, especially if they use pitbulls.

FED Says No Taper – We Need A War, Gun Confiscation And Control Of Internet First
The FED is not ready to taper. All bank and other financial institutions were making cases that the FED was going to taper and they didn't. Before the FED tapers the US government needs to continue with the propaganda that the economy is getting better, they will do this until all Americans believe it. Then they need to start the war, confiscate the guns, and control the internet. Once all of this has been completed they will be able to create the event that will collapse the economy.

Conditional Cooperation and Voluntary Contributions to Public Goods
We compare a partners condition, where the same small group of subjects plays a repeated public good game, to a strangers condition, where subjects play this game in changing group formations. From the first period onward, subjects in the partners condition contribute significantly more to the public good than subjects in the strangers condition. Strangers' contributions show continual decay, while partners' contributions fluctuate on a high level prior to decreasing in the final periods. We interpret subjects' behaviour in terms of conditional cooperation which is characterized by both future-oriented and reactive behaviour.

OAKLAND — Last December, Daryl Humdy's roommate opened the washing machine in between cycles in their East Oakland home and got a shocker.
Curled in a ball on top of freshly washed clothes was Humdy's soaked and shaken 6-month-old kitten Natasha, who had jumped unnoticed into the machine between loads.
For 40 minutes, the kitten twirled inside the machine, swam to stay afloat and spun in circles. The Siberian Forest cat suffered shock and hypothermia, but survived the catastrophe and this week earned second-place in a nationwide competition honoring the most unusual pet insurance claims of the year.
Natasha, up for the Veterinary Pet Insurance Hambone Award, was one of 11 nominees selected out of a million claims that the Orange County-based company received over the past year.
The annual award, in its fifth year, was named for a dog that ate an entire Thanksgiving ham while stuck in a refrigerator, said VPI spokesman Adam Fell. The award was created to educate the public about unexpected mishaps that befall household pets.
Past winners of the award include Ellie, a Labrador who ate an entire beehive; Lulu, a bulldog who swallowed 15 baby pacifiers, a bottle cap and a piece of a basketball; Harley, a pug that ate, and subsequently passed, more than 100 rocks; and Peanut, a dachshund-terrier mix who survived a fierce squabble with a skunk.
First place this year went to Winnie, a mixed-breed dog from Massachusetts, who wolfed down¿ a two-pound bag of frozen onion rings and survived onion poisoning. As a prize, the pooch's vet in Yarmouth, Mass., received $10,000 through the Veterinary Care Foundation to treat pets whose owners could not otherwise afford treatment.
Back in California's East Bay on Thursday, Natasha's owner recalled the day his cat lost one of her nine lives.
"She had always been very nosy about the washing machine," Humdy said. "She would always peek inside it, but I never thought she would hop in."
He said his roomie was loading laundry and left the lid to the machine open while he went to the next room to grab more clothes. He came back, threw his clothes in and shut the lid without knowing the cat had hopped in. When his roommate went to pull out his laundry and noticed Natasha inside, the kitten was in shock.
"So was my roommate," Humdy recalled. "I'd say she spun around in the cold cycle for about 40 minutes. She was shaking and moaning. I thought she was dying. Her limbs were stiff and I didn't know if anything was broken. I was frightened."
He said his roommate took the cat to a veterinary clinic, where it was diagnosed with severe hypothermia and shock. The kitten was fortunate to escape the ordeal without suffering any other injuries, he said.
"They had a joke going on that because she survived the whole cycle that she was the most pleasant-smelling pet they had ever treated," Humdy said.
The bill totaled more than $1,000 but Humdy had insurance, filed a claim and VPI reimbursed him about 90 percent of the total cost.
Humdy has since moved to a home in Hayward with his girlfriend and his 8-year-old daughter, for whom he bought Natasha. He now keeps a closer eye on the cat.
"I've been much more cautious around the house now," he said. "I'd would hate for her to have to go through something like that again," he said.
But, he said, there is one area of the house he doesn't have to watch closely: the garage.
"That's where the washing machine is," he said. "She won't have anything to do with it."

A BlogCast is simply a very short (typically five minute) webcast that's hosted on a Blog. The idea is that we're all busy people who want specific information and don't have the time/patience to sit through lengthy webcasts to find what we're looking for.
BlogCasts are rather like "Elevator pitches" in that they're concise, to the point and compel you to take action.
You may be familiar with the term PodCast, a BlogCast is different as it comprises video rather than simply audio. In addition the content can't be consumed by an RSS aggregator though the blog that hosts it can.
BlogCasts typically focus on actually demonstrating HOW to set up technical systems - a great example can be found on Eileen Brown's Blog.

I would be dead if I had not come here. Britain has supported me 100 per cent." And so, come July, she will be supporting Britain.
"When the Olympics come, I will parade down the street in thanks." London will be the first host city in Olympic history to have a permanent resident from every single competing nation. All 204 of them. When it comes to multiculturalism, our capital is king, with one in every two Londoners having been born outside Britain.
