Electra, who was previously married to basketball bad boy Dennis Rodman and rocker Dave Navarro, recently revealed she wanted to start a family with Patterson, her boyfriend of almost a year.
She said, "I have pictured myself as a mother for years and look forward to fulfilling that strong desire." (KL/PE)

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- Supporters chanted "Perry, Perry, Perry" as Texas Gov. Rick Perry arrived at the Travis County Courthouse to surrender to authorities Tuesday.
Perry said he responded to charges of felony abuse of office with "my head held high."
"I'm here today because I believe in the rule of law. I'm here today because I did the right thing," he said.
Perry was indicted Friday. The charges involve his veto of funding for a public integrity unit headed by Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg after she refused to resign following her arrest on drunk driving charges.
The first Texas governor to face criminal charges in more than a century, Perry was to be booked and photographed.
"We will prevail," he told his supporters.

Sieve honored with 2008 Celebrate Literacy Award
WORTHINGTON -- After 37 years of teaching first-graders reading skills and quietly working behind the scenes with the Southwest Minnesota Reading Council, Prairie Elementary teacher Yvonne Sieve has received the 2008 Celebrate Literacy Award from the Minnesota Reading Association.
"I teach first grade, so I teach all the basic skills of reading -- phonics, children's literature, a love of books, anything related to reading and writing, too, because when you write, you read," Sieve said. "I feel students have to have the basics in order to succeed in school."
She received the award for her significant contributions in the area of reading instruction, demonstrating exemplary service, practice and accomplishments. Sieve was nominated for the award by Cindy Whaley, professor of language arts at Martin Luther College, New Ulm, and president of the Southwest Minnesota Reading Council.
Sieve attended high school at Our Lady of Good Counsel, Wilmont, graduating in 1968. She received her teaching degree at Southwest State University, Marshall, and taught first grade and Title 1 from 1971 to 1975 in Brewster.
Since 1975, she has taught first-graders in Worthington reading skills. Her students begin the year knowing the alphabet and just a few words, and by the end of the school year can read entire books by themselves. In Sieve's classroom, it all starts with playing alphabet games, sound bingo and learning from easy readers.
Though times have changed in other ways since 1971, first-graders haven't changed much.
"They're still eager to learn. They love school, usually. They want to be in school, and they want to learn how to read," Sieve said.
There are more students who speak English as a second language, but generally, they do well in first grade, where their native English-speaking peers' reading and writing skills are still developing, too, Sieve said.
When students have trouble reading, Sieve tells them they can do it -- to just keep trying -- and that she and the rest of the Prairie staff will help them learn.
Students take more reading tests now than they did when Sieve started teaching in 1971, but those exams help her monitor children's progress. First-graders are usually tested on reading sentences and finding words, but they also take Accelerated Reader comprehension tests on the books they read.
Sieve has worked for literacy outside the classroom, too, having served as historian on the Southwest Minnesota Reading Council since 1993. She secures speakers for the Council's spring and fall conferences.
She also organized nine one-day summer reading workshops in Worthington, attended by about 50 educators each. Sieve attends other reading-related conferences in the region, state and nation, and even went to one in Australia.
For 20 years, Sieve served as newsletter editor for the Minnesota Kindergarten Association, publishing 80 issues for the organization that unites educators working with young students.
In spring 2005, the Southwest Minnesota Reading Council gave Sieve its Celebrate Literacy Award.

"Not that it?s an excuse but our inexperience shines through in tight games. We have only three returning with varsity experience from last year. We have to have more efficient possessions and get good shots."

Oh, my! From detectives and doctors to angels and zombies, The CW's certainly kept an open mind with these pilot orders.
According to Deadline, The CW has ordered pilots for Awakening, Hart of Dixie, Heavenly and Cooper and Stone. With the success of AMC's The Walking Dead, it's no surprise that another network might try to tackle the zombie subject and it looks like The CW's up for the task as Awakening follows two sisters who "come of age and face off during the start of a zombie uprising."
Hart of Dixie follows a New York doctor who moves down south to run a medical practice. Heavenly follows an attorney and a former-angel as they work at a law clinic and try to help people. And Cooper and Stone is about two young female detectives in Chicago.
Below is the slightly more detailed information on the pilots, according to Deadline. It should be interesting to see what kind of casting news springs up for these projects.
Awakening, written on spec by William Laurin & Glenn Davis, centers on two sisters who come of age and face off against one another amidst the beginning of a zombie uprising. Reveille is co-producing the pilot with Warner Bros. TV, where the script has been laid off. Laurin, Davis, Howard T. Owens, Carolyn Bernstein and Todd Cohen are exec producing.

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm sure all of you had a grand time stuffing yourself with turkey, pie, and all of the other Thanksgiving staples. I hope you kept some leftovers, because today's assignment is going to involve all of your favorite holiday foods. You see, today's lesson is one in humility. You're going to humiliate and debase yourself with these treats. You're going to masturbate with everything from stuffing to gravy and show me how much of a filthy whore you are. This is your level. You're so desperate for my instruction that you'd even do something as disgusting as masturbating with food. Now don't think I've forgotten dessert. When you're ready to cum, I've got a special surprise for you.
When you're done with your disgusting Thanksgiving jerk off session, you're going to get down on your knees and thank me.
Your cock is in for a wild ride today, boy. I want you to get the following handy: two lengths of cord or shoelace and a handful of rubber bands. That's it! You're going to be tying your cock and balls up very specifically to maximize your erection time and intensity, then we're going to see how long you can hold out. In this fishnet bodystocking and corset, that's really going to be a challenge.. right? Wrong! Dommes like myself have used cock and ball bondage to address everything from early ejaculation to failure to cum on command.
This is one of my patented exercises to ensure that your cock is rock hard and throbbing until I give you the command to release.
This video includes: CBT instruction, masturbation instruction, tease and denial, FemDom POV, fishnet, bodystockings, JOI
Around this time of year, we Americans are all getting prepped for Thanksgiving. Now I recognize that not all of you celebrate Thanksgiving or are American. Regardless, you're still going to do this assignment. This will be the first of two Thanksgiving assignments. They say gratitude is the doorway to happiness. This is correct. This is why you're happier when you're grateful for being my slave. You're happier when you're thankful that I exist in your life. This is the cornerstone of your relationship with me. I know you're grateful for my presence, but I want to know why. I want to know why you're grateful and how you're going to work to show me how grateful you are. You're going to write an email to me in the form of an essay and tell me all of these things. My control, seeing my body, hearing my voice, every instruction I give you is a gift. These are things you should be on bended knee, giving me thanks for. Now it's time to do that duty.
It's time to go around the table and tell me what exactly you're thankful for.
You've been caught. Don't try to deny it, I have the proof right here. You've been jerking off at work again. You've been reprimanded several times because of your porn addiction but you just can't seem to keep it out of the workplace. As your boss, I just can't stand for this sort of behavior. Now, putting this sort of thing on your record would look bad on the both of us. So instead of filing a complaint with the proper authorities for sexual misconduct, I've come up with a new plan. You're going to defer 90% of your earnings here to me. You've cost me a lot of money with all of the time you've wasted jerking off. It's time I get some of that money back. You're not going to do anything about it either. I have your internet search history going back for months and several employees of mine willing to testify against you. From now on, your money is mine. If you can't find the willpower to keep it in your pants and out of the workplace then you're going to pay me what I'm owed in your lack of productivity. This is all your fault, you know. If you weren't such a pervert this would have never happened. You made your bed.
Now lie in it.
You know that your masturbatory habits tend to be quite disgusting. You'll watch any manner of disturbing or taboo content and be ashamed the moment you cum. This is why it is much better for me to control your orgasms. I'll make sure that you're jerking to content that doesn't make you feel like such a slimy loser. I'll make your orgasm feel like a reward instead of an embarrassment. But this privilege of jerking off to me doesn't come for free. You're going to jerk and edge when I say you can. I'm going to cultivate this feeling of desperation in you. I'm going to make you remove your hands and imagine what it would be like to be touched by me. You're going to sit there mentally stimulated as your orgasm builds within you without touching your cock. You'll be desperately aching for release and completely under my control. This is the point of this exercise. No more cycle of orgasm and shame. If you're a good boy and follow my instructions you know you'll have earned that orgasm.
After this, the only orgasms you'll want are the ones I've given permission for you to have.
It's summertime, which means that I have a whole new wardrobe of nylons to wear-- sheer, warm-weather weight hosiery that is amazing to look at and amazing to touch. I can't decide which of the two shoes I'd rather wear with my sheer black pantyhose, so I demonstrate both as I tease you stroking. The more I slide my legs against one another, pointing and flexing my toes and posing my legs, the closer you get to exploding. It's almost entrancing, the more I make you stare at the shiny, glossy image of my legs and feet.
It's no doubt that I enjoy my hosiery *almost* as much as you do.
This video includes: pantyhose/stockings, FemDom POV, tease and denial, foot worship, high heels, strappy heels, black pantyhose
Another custom clip that I thought would really suit my regular lineup. Note, I do say "Sebastian" several times in the clip.
You know, you're supposed to be doing the yardwork that I paid you for. I don't pay you to stare at my ass all day. Yeah, that's right; I've seen you peeking into the windows while you're supposed to be working. You do realize that's unacceptable right? I need this work done. I can see you getting hard right now even as I'm chastising you. Well c'mon, whip it out. If jerking off is going to clear your mind enough to get you to go back to work then that's what's going to happen. You can stare at my shapely ass and stroke away if it'll get you to do your job. I'm even wearing a sexy black thong today. You should be able to get off and no time and I can go back to what I was doing and you can go back to your job.
It's so hard to find good help these days.
I know you dream of escaping this banal reality of yours. I know your mind flies away to a place outside of your own body whenever it can. The endless drudgery is slowly taking away all pieces of you. I want to help you fix that. I want to hold your hand and guide you to a place that can be your escape and your reality simultaneously. This place exists only when you serve me. You can escape the endless poison of your everyday life and be commanded by me in a world where anything is possible. Here you surrender control, desire, love, ambition, and all of the stresses that come with these things. I fill your mind with my intention. I fill your heart with my worship. Your cock twitches with arousal, and that too is mine. This place I've taken you too is an escape from control. Even now you can feel your cock becoming hard and you know that isn't a decision your body is making. It is a decision I'm making for you. There is freedom in this. This fantasy becomes reality and you, without thought or struggle, slip into a beautiful paradise where you are mine. Isn't this wonderful?
Isn't this wonderful?
A new installment of your Regularly Scheduled Programming, which is completely designed based on YOUR responses while under.
This exercise is all about control: breath control. I will be taking complete and total control of your breathing, making you hold breaths, breathe deeper and shallower on command, and match your strokes to breathing exericses. You will not be allowed to breathe or to stroke without permission and the combination of the two will have your head spinning. Couple that with some teasing and brainwashing while you're struggling to suck in air and you're ready for total obedience. Two layers of visual effects and binaural tones rounds out this assignment.
Your very air is now mine.

So your interview has gone well. Your potential new boss has looked over your resume and asked all the questions and you've given most of the right answers… you think. Then she asks you about your last employment. There's no record of a reference or why you left that job, so what was it? She sits back in her chair, waiting for a response and when you can't give a sufficient one she speaks up. She's contacted your last employer and found out that you were fired for sexual misconduct among your female coworkers. Now, this woman definitely wants you for her company, but she wants to make it clear that any harassment of her employees will be met with strict consequences. She invites her male business partner to help finish conducting the interview and to your shock, he stars unzipping his pants! You soon find out that they're very strict on harassment and they want to make sure that you'll never proposition any of her female employees. If you do, you'll be forced to suck every cock in the office, starting with this one. Actually, you're going to suck this one right now just to really drive home how serious this policy is.
This is the only way to prove your company loyalty.

It is quite possible that Apple might not be killing off the iconic iPod in the near future, contrary to popular belief.
Earlier this week Apple announced its Q1 2014 earnings. It was a record quarter for the company, almost all devices posted record sales, all except the entire iPod lineup. Year over year shipments were down 53 percent, with the company only being able to sell six million iPod units around the world in the last quarter. iPod sales contributed just $973 million to Apple's over $57 billion revenue in Q1 2014. This lead many publications to speculate that the iPod lineup will be riding off in the sunset, since its brutally being cannibalized by none other than the iPhone itself.
That might not entirely be the case though. 9to5Mac has discovered various job listings at Apple that hint the iPod division is going to be around for a bit longer. The company is seeking New Product Introduction Operations Program Managers who will be tasked with managing an iPod launch by working with OEMs, component suppliers as well as ensuring supply chain responsiveness. It is also seeking a Product Quality engineer for the iPod Product Operations team as well as a Plastics Tooling Eng. Program Mgr., who will be responsible for ensuring operational technical readiness and development of tooling and new material for new Apple products, respectively. The latter might lead to speculation that the next generation iPod could come with a plastic body similar to that of the iPhone 5C, even if Apple is contemplating killing it due to lacklustre response.
This could very well mean that a new iPod product launch is on the cards for 2014. Perhaps what Apple needs to revive sales is a completely new product. The flagship model, iPod touch, hasn't been radically changed since the fourth generation model came out. In fact, the iPod lineup hasn't been radically changed in a couple of years, which means that its about time that Apple went down this road. Can be said for sure that new iPods are in bound? Absolutely not, mere job listings can't simply be taken as confirmation of the company's future plans, even if they specifically deal with the iPod team at Cupertino.

You get around 100 pins for under $10. They are just sharp enough to hold the silk firmly without damaging it. The pins you use, the better the stretch you will get.

Fear of the unknown? I'm deliberating what I've seen from Melo, which has nothing to do with Lin. I don't get what you're not getting? Most of what I'm eluding to is focused on Melo as an individual and a leader.
I said outrightly that Melo will get his. No doubt Lin will benefit from the spacing Melo provides as a penetrating guard.
When I've said adapt, I've meant in terms of the winning style of play that's come with Lin throughout the entirety of the lineup. Melo's been a part of it for less than 40 minutes of PT. Admittedly, after reading my OP, I could have highlighted that better. But that still doesn't derive from the fact that you didn't read it in the first place.
I have complete faith that good times are ahead, but, as I've stated, it's Melo's approach that needs tweaking, IMO. Mentally, in terms of aggression and also defensive desire individually. I'm not trying to chisel out anything flawless. What would be the point of attempting the impossible? But I've seen the issues that I've highlighted, and am against them.
I don't really see why the mixup had to take place from the get-go? If people don't really read OPs though, that's completely inevitable.
All someone did was draw some arrows where everyone moved to! Mind you, this was after we've all seen what happens, so you could do this with anything! Fields did what many smart players do and cut to the basket when his man wasn't paying attention. Lin being the good PG that he is sees this and throws a pass up towards the basket.
I'm not sure what you're point is. Was that play really that difficult to you? Field's read the defense and cut to the basket, got a good lob pass for the score.
Real Talk
I've been a stern MDA critic for going on 2 years but try to have a somewhat balanced and fair opinion or your posts are just not credible.
You used to be such a good poster now your credibility is diminishing constantly with all the MDA hatred and the fact you don't bother to read things properly you just infer things and start ranting.
It's boring
I think from here on out if he stays healthy Melo should be average from here on out the next 35 games I think we have left
26points, 9rebounds, 5assists while shooting 48%-42%-85% in about 33minutes of action(ideally thats what we need)
He should finish the season strong and finish with total averages of 25pts, 7rebs and 4ast with 46%-38%-83%
So I was browsing for videos on JR Smith today and I stumbled upon this video. As I watched, I noticed that Melo was playing very differently from what I am used to from him. In my opinion, this is the type of play that Melo should work on and thrive to be on this Knicks team.
To give a summary (you can skip to about @1:00), on OFFENSE:
*He was decisive with the ball, making sure he made decisions swiftly. I know its just a small sample but in this video I think he made an effort to not hold the ball for mare than 5 seconds.
*Melo was also moving in the offense, making sure that he was on the right spots to make a spot up jumper.
On DEFENSE:
*Played defense aggresively and made sure that he was communicating with his teammates for timely switching.
Again, I know its just a microcosm of the whole game, but it shows how Carmelo Anthony's talents can be maximized within a half-court offense.

Seventeen-year-old Annie Tillery and her Aunt Jill set off for Long Island's Fire Island for a vacation of surf, sun, and sailing. Annie is happy to leave behind the stress of her relationship with her parents. Aunt Jill, who is an NYPD detective, is mixing her vacation with a case she must keep secret from Annie, who is suspicious nevertheless.

They find themselves in the middle of an eerie adventure when she and Ty investigate the tragic and perplexing story of a local ghost.
Annie becomes increasingly uneasy and the investigation turns sinister when Aunt Jill goes missing, the ghost appears, and the troublesome neighbors in the cottage next door become hostile. When they find one of Aunt Jill's special earrings on the neighbor's porch, they begin to wonder what she was doing there. Will they find Aunt Jill before it's too late? In the breathless conclusion to their investigation, Annie and Ty narrowly escape death when they discover a plot that impacts on national security, solving the mystery of The Madonna Ghost.

No easy solution is in sight for the Christian Democrats
As expected, Italy's 39th government since the fall of Fascism in 1943 went the way of all the others last week. But nothing demonstrated the changing times and mood more than the manner in which the government fell.
In 1973, Premier Giulio Andreotti, who then headed a center-right coalition made up of his Christian Democrats and the conservative Liberal Party, lost 13 consecutive parliamentary votes before calling it quits. This time Andreotti's 18-month-old government did not so much fall as dissolve. To avoid...

2008 More Nikon Reviews Nikon Lenses
Sharpness Comparison to all other 24mm lenses August 2010
Ideal Uses: Low-light, compact wide-angle manual-focus lens for film and FX Digital.
Not for: I wouldn't bother with this on a DX camera. I'd use any f/2.8 AF lens and bump the ISO a stop instead. As a manual focus lens, I wouldn't use it for anything that moves.
Intro Specifications Performance Recommendations
Compatibility History Production Pricing
This was the fastest 24mm lens ever made by Nikon up until 2010, which shows you how lazy Nikon became since losing the pro market to Canon in the 1980s. This lens was introduced in 1977, back when Nikon was a the unquestioned camera of the pros, and Nikon never made a fast autofocus 24mm until 2010.
The Nikon 24mm f/2 is compact and extremely well made. As are most Nikon AI-s lenses, it's a masterpiece of mechanical construction.
As of July 2007 Nikon USA no longer carries it new, although you might be able to find one if you're good at scrounging. In 2008, you're only going to find this lens used.
Nikon 24mm f/2 AI-s. enlarge.
Compatibility back to intro back to top
This manual-focus 24mm f/2 AI-s works great with most Nikon cameras, film and digital.
It works flawlessly with every manual focus Nikon ever made, from the F of 1959 through the FM3a and today's FM-10.
On the D3, D700, D300, D200, D2 and F6, use the "Non-CPU Lens Data" menu option to set 24mm and f/2 to get full matrix metering, EXIF data and finder read-out of set aperture. It works great in aperture-preferred as well as manual modes on these cameras.
It works perfectly on every professional film camera (F, F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6), and adds Matrix metering on the FA, F4 and F6.
The meters of cheaper digital (D80 and below) and cheaper film cameras (N80 and below) will not couple (or work at all) with this lens, so you'll be on your own guessing exposure using the rear LCD or an external meter, or get a tiny Gossen Digisix meter and hot shoe adapter to meter manually.
See Nikon Lens Compatibility for details on your camera. Read down the "AI, AI-s" column for this lens.
Front view, 24mm f/2 at f/2.
History back to intro back to top
1977-1981: Nikon introduces the 24mm f/2 as an AI lens.
1981-2007: The 24/2 is updated to AI-s in 1981. The only real difference, in addition to the usual AI-s changes, are that the focus requires only half the rotation. The AI-s focuses faster, while the AI is more precise.
Production back to intro back to top
Nikon made about 20,000 of the first AI version and about 50,000 of the AI-s version, for a total of about 65,000 24mm f/2 lenses.
Pricing back to intro back to top
* At full NYC discount. Very few people bought their lenses this inexpensively back in the 1980s and 1990s. Most people paid retail.

Intro Specifications Performance Recommendations
On FX
The 24 f2 has the usual Nikon fast wide-angle performance: it's always sharp, but has lower contrast from the haziness of spherical aberration at f/2, and softer corners at the largest apertures. It's super-sharp when stopped down, but if you're shooting it in daylight at f/2, you'll have a slight dreamy effect if you look too close. Don't do that.
It has the usual barrel distortion of Nikon's fixed wide lenses.
f/2: Sharp all over, but looked at closely, has a slight dreamy effect from the halos caused by spherical aberration. Corners are a little softer.
f/2.8: Sharp and contrasty in the center (no more dreamy effect). Corners still softer from coma.
f/4: Coma is gone, except in the last couple of millimeters in the corners.
f/5.6: Even the farthest corners are contrasty (they're sharp at every aperture).
f/8-f/11: Corners are optimum. These are the best apertures before diffraction sets in at f/16 and f/22.
On DX
It's always sharp, but the contrast that varies with aperture.
f/2: The contrast is lower from spherical aberration. The corners are about the same as the center.
f/2.8: It's great in the center. The sides and corners have lower contrast.
f/4 and smaller: These are the best apertures before diffraction sets in at f/16 and f/22.
Distortion back to performance back to top
The 24mm f/2 has mild to moderate barrel distortion, typical of Nikon's fast and wide manual focus lenses. It's complex, meaning that the simple first-order correction offered by Photoshop CS2's lens distortion filter still leaves some waviness on FX and film.
If you're only using the central portion of the image by shooting in DX, it's simple first-order distortion, easy to correct.
Try these figures to correct the distortion in Photoshop CS2's lens distortion filter.

Recommendations top
Intro Specifications Performance Recommendations
This 24mm f/2 was a favorite of journalists for decades, along with the 35mm f/1.4, for its low-light ability.
Landscape shooters, specifically Galen Rowell, preferred the less expensive and slower f/2.8 version for its lower flare when shot into the sun. Much of Galen's most famous work was shot with the slower 24mm f/2.8.
If you want the fastest, sharpest wide angle lens, get the recently discontinued 28mm f/1.4D AF, which has far superior performance at f/2 and is much more compatible with autofocus and digital cameras.
The aspherical 28mm f/1.4 doesn't lose contrast wide-open, while the conventional spherical design of this 24mm f/2 does.
A used 28mm f/1.4D AF sells for ten times what the 24mm f/2 does, so if the 24mm f/2 fits your budget, you ought to love it. It takes standard 52mm filters, making it very handy as part of any Nikon system.

Have you ever been walking around, doing nothing remotely related to your wedding, when all of a sudden you see something and your brain goes into hyperactive crazy bride mode thinking about all of the ways this thing would make your wedding beautiful? Well, this happens to me all the time. It is an illness that not only afflicts me, but I think afflicts a lot of those planning their wedding (or dreaming of planning their wedding).
I call it Bridal Brain. Take, for example, an innocent trip to The Christmas Tree Shop. I was roaming around, minding my own business when all of a sudden I saw the most amazing lanterns, and immediately I was transported to the most beautiful wedding with lanterns glowing with candlelight. Sigh, I wish there were a big beautiful tree at my venue! In my head, I had already purchased 10 of them, despite the fact that I in fact have no place for them at my wedding.
image via Snippet And Ink/ Photo by A Bryan Photo
Anyway, this disease has progressed. Instead of simply trying to incorporate objects into my wedding, I have now started to plan entirely new weddings when I come across a remotely pretty location! For example, every day I walk to school and pass through the courtyard of the Everson Museum of Art. Designed by the famous architect I. M. Pei, this place would make an amazing setting for a modern wedding. Imagine your ceremony with this as your aisle:
And how about cocktail hour in the lobby with this gorgeous spiral staircase?:
Image via the/Aesthete
And who wouldn't like a tented reception out in the courtyard?
image via archINFORM
Now I know logically that this place is nothing like what I actually want for my wedding. It is modern while my wedding will be a little bit rustic with a lot of romance. It is cold and my venue is warm and homey. It is, in fact, nothing that I would ever want! And yet, every time I walk down that aisle of trees on my way to school I can't help but be transported to an amazing affair! Damn the Bridal Brain!
Do you have Bridal Brain? Please tell me I am not the only one suffering with this illness! Has yours progressed as far as mine has?

All quotes by Horace Jenkins
(6 quotes found)
"That was probably one of the toughest things. I did everything I was supposed to do. I just took it as a test from God."
"This is a big opportunity. I've got to try to go out there and do more, and I have no problem with that. I'm a person who refuses to fail."
"I think of everything I have been through... It makes me see how blessed I am. I've done real hard labor, working as an electrician and stuff. I was out of basketball, working labor jobs to make money. I could have stayed there, done the work, and made a pretty good living for my family. But I couldn't let basketball go. I had to see this all the way through, and I am glad I did. You will never hear me complain. I have nothing to complain about. I've been on the other side. I know how it is in the real world."
"You can't force anything, but when the opportunity presents itself, if the ball was in my hands, I was going to do it."

Friends build deck for Fargo man living with muscular dystrophy
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Friends are banding together to help a Fargo man who may be the oldest living person with his form of muscular dystrophy.
Because of his condition, Gyle Peterson uses a wheelchair and ventilator 24/7, and it used to be hard for him to get outside.
The deck outside his home is nearly finished, but they've run out of funds for materials. Now, they're reaching out to the community for help.
Gyle Peterson is enjoying the sunshine on his new, but not-quite-finished, deck.
"It's good spending time with his dad instead of being cooped up in his room all day. They get to come out here and enjoy coffee and cookies," says Caregiver, Mariah Jackson.
Gyle turns 60 years old this month, and reaching that milestone is no small feat. He says he's the oldest living person with his severe form of Muscular Dystrophy. Life expectancy is about 20, and Gyle's sister, who had the same form of MD, died at age 6.
Gyle spoke with us through his caregiver, Mariah.
"He said, 'I don't know, I guess I'm stubborn," says Jackson.
Recently, a non-profit group offered to build a handicap accessible deck at the house Gyle and his father Lyle have lived in since 1955.
But funding fell through - so some of Gyle's friends took the project upon themselves.
"He's a super nice guy, would do anything for anybody," says Friend of Gyle's Darin Mogck.
"He would bend over backwards for you if he could!" says Friend of Gyle's Stephen Belcourt.
Lyle bought the materials, and they started building.
They got this far before they ran out of funds and materials.
"We're a little bit low on the funding to complete the rails and the skirting, which is a necessity to have on there to make sure it's safe," says Belcourt.
So now, they're asking for the community's help through a page on gofundme.com to finish the deck, and do some remodeling inside.
"Gyle also has a pretty small bedroom in his house and he wants to convert a family room into a bedroom," says Mogck.
"The lift is constantly hitting the walls, the doors, everything in here," says Jackson.
There is still work to do, but for now Gyle is loving the hours spent outside chatting with family, friends, and neighbors that stop by.
Jackson: "He says his only regret is not building this deck before his mom died. It would have been awesome to spend some time out here with her," says Jackson.
If you'd like to help, you can find a link to the go-fund-me page by clicking here to donate to Gyle's project.

Trainer Gai Waterhouse is typically brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday's Cox Plate Day in Melbourne where she will saddle-up four runners across the card including her tough filly Sempre Libera in the 2015 Moonee Valley Fillies Classic.
A final field of nine three-year-old fillies line-up in Moonee Valley Race 3 at 1:50pm (AEST) on Saturday including the Waterhouse-trained daughter of Medaglia D'Oro in this year's $200,000 Group 2 Alliance Broking Services Fillies Classic (1600m).
Current Moonee Valley Fillies Classic odds at Ladbrokes.com.au, who are offering an Extra 50% on your very first Fixed Odds winner in Races 1 – 5 at the meeting, is the Robert Smerdon-trained Edward Manifold Stakes third placed My Poppette ($3.60).
Sempre Libera in the outside alley (9) with Damien Oliver aboard is also at single figures paying $5 for the win, which would be her first since a successful debut at Rosehill back in early April.
Join now to bet with
She is yet to race in Melbourne but comes off a credible eighth behind stablemate Speak Fondly in the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on October 3 and should be improved after her first look at a mile.
Beaten under three lengths in the Flight Stakes, Sempre Libera did enough during that and her first-up fourth in the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) to earn the trip to Melbourne according to Waterhouse.
"I have a lot of time for the very talented daughter of Medaglia Doro, Sempre Libera, and she showed me enough toughness and tenacity in Sydney to earn her ticket to Melbourne," Waterhouse told Racing Victoria.
"She mixed it with the best fillies in the land in the Coolmore Flight Stakes and she certainly did not disappoint.
"Now with the drop in class in the Group 2 Fillies Classic at a trip that suits, she will be a real contender in the field of nine with the Group 1-winning jockey Damien Oliver on board."
Sempre Libera is also nominated for the $1 million Group 1 Crown Oaks (2500m) over more distance at Flemington on Thursday November 5 during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Waterhouse has saddled-up four previous VRC Oaks contenders for one second place finish over the years and hopes Sempre Libera can shape up to be the next.
If she stays on the Crown Oaks 2015 path, a likely seven-day turnaround from this weekend's MV Fillies Classic into the $300,000 Group 2 Wakeful Stakes (2000m) on Victoria Derby Day is the most likely option.
The Wakeful Stakes has produced four of the past seven Crown Oaks winners, most recently in 2013 when the John Sargent-trained Kirramosa completed the double.
All-in VRC Crown Oaks odds at Ladbrokes are led this year by the David Hayes & Tom Dabernig-trained Group 3 Caulfield Classic (2000m) winner from last weekend Sacred Eye ($3.20), whose stablemate Air Apparent runs in the MV Fillies Classic this weekend.
Sempre Libera is rated a $17 chance in the futures Crown Oaks betting markets.
Two of the other single figure Crown Oaks hopes, $8 fancies Jameka and Pasadena Girl, meanwhile take on the boys in the $200,000 Group 2 Moonee Valley Vase (2040m) this Saturday.
Victoria Derby-bound Tarzino in barrier 10 of 12 is the favourite for the Vase but the Peter Moody-trained Group 1 winner Pasadena Girl and Ciaron Maher's Jameka, who ran fourth and second respectively in the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) last start, are the next best in betting.

Although Ramona High School's girls soccer team lost its Feb. 7 home game against Westview and its Feb. 9 match at Poway, both losses were by only one-goal margins.
"Both were very close games," said Assistant Coach Rod Vandervort. "The girls played very good soccer. We're very encouraged by the games this past week."
The home game was played on a rainy day.
"The turf was a little slick," Vandervort said.
That didn't keep the teams from playing a close game. Bulldog goalkeeper Maria Solis made 12 saves, including eight in the first half. Solis also had the help of sweeper Lexi Hogan, outside defenders Emily Vandervort and Briana Gansch, stopper Bianca Scodellaro, defensive midfielder Julie Voorhes, and midfielder/defender Katie White.
"Our defense did a good job," Vandervort said. "Even offensively we controlled the ball much better than we did in the first game against them."
Ramona's only goal Jan. 19 during a 6-1 loss at Westview was on a free kick. The lack of a goal Feb. 7 didn't translate into a lack of execution by the Bulldogs.
"When we did get the ball, we did a good job of connecting short passes," Vandervort said.
The Wolverines scored the game's only goal about 15 minutes into the second half.
"They centered it with a nice pass," Vandervort said. "We had our defense in pretty decent position. They just made a nice play."
The deficit didn't adversely affect the Bulldogs' confidence.
"Even after they were up, we still played pretty well," Vandervort said.
The Bulldogs overcame a Poway lead in the 2-1 game Feb. 9. The Titans scored the game's first goal on a cross play about 18 minutes into the game. Approximately seven minutes later, Karli Njaa advanced the ball downfield before finding that Samantha Schmidt was able to take a shot from about 27 yards out.
Njaa gave Schmidt the opportunity for a goal, and Schmidt placed the ball into the top right corner of the net.
"She just nailed it," Vandervort said.
The Titans had the second half's only score.
"The second half we battled back and forth. Both teams had a few opportunities," Vandervort said.
Solis made 13 saves against Poway.
The losses gave Ramona a 9-11-1 overall season record and a Palomar League figure of 0-7-1.
Thursday will be Senior Night when the Bulldogs close out their regular season at home against Torrey Pines.
The CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting will take place Saturday.

IMF Chief Has Little Sympathy For Greece
The managing director of the International Monetary Fund says she has more sympathy for poor African children than Greeks suffering under the country's economic problems and austerity measures.
In an interview published in the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper Saturday, Christine Lagarde said "I think more of the little kids from a school in a little village in Niger…sharing one chair for three of them. Because I think they need even more help than the people in Athens."
Lagarde also criticized Greek citizens "who are trying to escape tax," and said the country needs to make more of an effort to solve its economic problems.
Greece's economy is being kept afloat on international loans provided by the European Union and the IMF, along with a harsh austerity package that is deeply unpopular with the country's electorate.

A/C Manifold Hose Installation
I have been advised that my '95 F-150, 5.0L needs a new A/C manifold assembly hose. Ford price is $271 just for the hose. Is this a job for pros only, or can any moron (me), take it on? The system already uses 134a.
A/c as in air conditioning? Most likely It doesnt NEED to be replaced unless you NEED/WANT your a/c to work.
Truthfully, anyone who can turn a wrench and pop some quick disconnects apart can change an a/c line. The thing you have to watch is handling the refrigerant. I imagine you have an r-134a system. You can simply buy little cans to refill your system but you are "supposed" to reclaim what is in your system instead of letting it into the atmosphere and popping holes in the ozone. be careful because that stuff will give you freeze burns and could make you go blind if you are not careful.

Techel in police interview, 'I know this doesn't look good.'
Mon, 04 Mar 2013 19:48:06 GMT —
UPDATED-After two weeks and two weather delays, the prosecution is essentially finished presenting its case to the jury in the First Degree Murder Trial of Seth Techel.
The State will officially rest its case on Tuesday morning, but this afternoon Prosecutor Andrew Prosser called his final witness.
Taking the stand last was Vic Murillo, a DCI firearms expert.
Murillo testified that the shotgun slug that killed Lisa Techel was fired from the Mossberg shotgun found in the Techel yard the morning of the murder
The state also had Murillo address a question that the defense has brought up at every opportunity; Why DCI agents did not test Seth Techelâ??s hands for gun powder residue?
Murillo told jurors that the machine the DCI used to conduct the test broke down years ago and was never replace,d. Murillo also said the residue test was generally unreliable and that it wasnâ??t hard for suspects to clean the residue off their hands before being tested.
On cross examination, Defense Attorney Steve Gardner got Murillo to admit that prior to discontinuing the test in the mid-1990â??s, DCI agents testified in court on the reliability of that test.
Gardner also got Murillo to acknowledge that the DCI still has a procedure in place for conducting the test if they wish.
The defense should start its presentation sometime Tuesday morning. Judge Daniel Wilson did warn jurors that the case could stretch into next week.
Jurors in the first degree murder trial of Seth Techel began week three, right where week two left off, watching the DVD of DCI Special Agent Chris Thomas interview Techel on the afternoon of May 26.
The interview, which began amicably enough, starts to become confrontational after nearly three hours.
Techel, who earlier in the interview told Thomas that he had stopped texting Rachel McFarland in January, begins to confess that the relationship was more serious than that.
After acknowledging he continued to talk to, see and even kiss McFarland right up until his wifeâ??s death, Techel tells Thomas, I know this doesnâ??t look good.
After nearly four hours of conversation, Thomas becomes more aggressive with Techel, telling him that the evidence doesnâ??t support his version of events, and that investigators have come to the conclusion that Techel has murdered his wife.
Techel repeatedly denies killing his wife, and the interview ends with Techel being asked to leave the room.
After the jury finished the tape, the defense attorney aggressively cross examined Thomas, particularly on the issue of gun powder residue testing.
Thomas acknowledged that suggesting to Techel that the DCI would and could test for gun powder residue on his hands was a ruse to find out how Techel would respond to the question.

KARACHI, July 5: "We are not shifting, just leaving for a few days until the situation improves in our neighbourhood," said Anwer Ali with his optimism tinged with uncertainty and doubt while sitting on a pile of suitcases and bags with his wife, two young daughters and as many minor boys. The family was waiting for a pickup to board it with their belongings to move to 'safe areas' from their house situated between Juna Masjid and Agra Taj Colony.
Mr Ali, 44, a Kutchhi carpenter who had a small shop near his house, felt himself entangled in double jeopardy.
"We are leaving our home and our shop," he said, putting on a wry smile on his wrinkled and fatigued face. "We are homeless and jobless at the same time, but living is the most important thing."
His wife and daughters were wearing long black robes and scarves over their faces. The woman was expressively vocal in airing her feelings upon being homeless.
"We are leaving the home we built by spending all our savings," she said. "We could not take along everything, including many articles of dowries I have been collecting for my daughters."
She was waiting for her brother, a resident of Kharadar, who had asked them to wait with their belongings until he arrived there with a vehicle.
Kharadar itself is not a safe neighbourhood for its residents as people are drifting away from there to Saddar and other localities because of increasing violence.
In a shocking incident reported last week, gunmen indiscriminately fired at public near the Machchi Miani Market and killed three people, including a woman.
Violence has persisted in several localities of Lyari for many weeks with the area from the Kamela bus stand to Agra Taj and Bihar colonies gravely affected, forcing residents to migrate in large numbers.
Their migration continues with both dominant communities – Kutchhis and Baloch – equally affected.
People who still live in the affected neighbourhoods in sizeable numbers say a number of houses and shops abandoned by their occupants have been occupied by armed gangs, while reports speak of looting and ransacking.
"One can see the walls of many houses and buildings pockmarked with bullets. The rival armed men are not just exchanging gunfire; they are attacking each other's strongholds with crackers and grenades also," said Mehmood Hussain, a Baloch resident of the locality, while speaking to Dawn on telephone.
He said it was too risky to live in once Lyari's most expensive 'upmarket area' as crackers and grenades often landed on houses, "which is evident from the large holes in many houses if you can come here and see".
"People are too scared. They have not gone to work for many days and children have stopped playing in streets," he said.
Mohammad Ashfaq, a Sindhi working as a clerk in the Sindh secretariat, said he lived near the Kamila bus stand, near the 'boundary' from where the 'restive area' begins.
"Things are not normal either in our area, but we can just hear explosions and gunshots in the neighbouring localities and are safe here so far," he said.
He said he sensed a 'strange silence soaked with fear' on the streets leading to the neighbouring settlements.
"People are very frightened over there who are continuously migrating to their relatives' in other localities," he said.
"Wait…I have just heard a couple of explosions. They must be crackers," he said, paused and resumed: "Oh…electricity has gone out again."
Residents complained of prolonged power outages in the violence-hit localities of Lyari, which affected tap water supplies as well.
Shops and markets scantly open there and largely remain closed for days causing immense hardship to the residents in buying food and routine items.
Some residents supported speculation that the gangs were piling arms, strengthening the fear of a 'final battle'.
"It is common to hear that they are preparing for a final showdown, which is scaring everyone gravely," said Ghulam Mohammad.
"Thanks to Allah, it is still not a battle between common Kutchhi and Baloch people. We still live side by side and work together at the Karachi Port and other places. Though the rival armed groups are fighting it in the name of our communities," said Mr Mohammad.
Reports suggested that although violence had not spread beyond the affected neighbourhoods, its fear forced life to change. Many shops and markets as far as in Kharadar, Mithadar, Kaghzi Bazaar, Jodia Bazaar, Khajoor Bazaar and Lea Market were seen closed or opened just for a little while.

First Dude won for the third time in four starts since
joining the Baffert barn, edging Game On Dude by a nose with 11-10 favorite Twirling
Candy a neck back in third.
The victory was the third in Hollywood Park's signature race
for Baffert, who had won previously with Real Quiet (1999) and Congaree (2003).
He became the first trainer since the late Bobby Frankel to achieve
the Gold Cup exacta. Frankel accomplished the feat in 2001 with Aptitude and
Skimming, a result made possible by the disqualification of Futural, who was
moved from first to third.
The last time it happened naturally was 1997 and Richard
Mandella, who saddled Setsuko for a fourth-place finish Saturday, went one
better. Mandella had a 1-2-3 finish that year with Gentlemen defeating Siphon
and Sandpit.
Owned by breeder Don Dizney, First Dude, a 4-year-old son of
Stephen Got Even and the Smart Strike mare Run Sarah Run, was taken off the
pace set by his stablemate by jockey Martin Garcia while in the clear,
finishing well on the outside to prevail in the last jump.
By virtue of the thrilling victory, First Dude earned a spot
in the Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 5 at Churchill Downs as the Gold Cup was a BC
"Win and You're In'' challenge race. Additionally, First Dude will have his
pre-entry and entry fees waived for the Classic and receive a $10,000 travel
Successful for the fourth time in 17 starts, the Florida
bred earned his first Grade I in his ninth such appearance. He had hit the
board five times before, including thirds in the Blue Grass, Belmont, Haskell
Invitational and Travers and a second in the Preakness. All those efforts were in
2010 for former trainer Dale Romans.
Pushing his earnings to $1,442,140, First Dude, whose only
loss this year was a sixth in the Santa Anita Handicap won by Game On Dude,
paid $10.20, $4.80 and $3.20 as the 4-1 second choice. He completed the 1 ¼
miles over Cushion Track in 2:01.57.
The Gold Cup win was a first for Garcia, who finished third
in the race a year ago aboard the Baffert-trained Richard's Kid.
Game On Dude, who established the lead immediately after
breaking directly outside Twirling Candy, the 122-pound highweight, just failed
to make some additional history for his rider as the 9-2 third choice.
Chantal Sutherland, who teamed with the gelding initially in
the Santa Anita Handicap, was the first female to ever ride in the Gold Cup,
so, obviously, she would have been the first female to win a race which was run
for the 72nd time Saturday.
More relaxed than he had been in his victory in the
Californian June 4, Twirling Candy sat just off Game On Dude, took a narrow lead
briefly in the stretch, but couldn't quite match strides with the Baffert duo near
the finish. He's now 0-for-2 at 10 furlongs.
"In the morning they've been finishing together and they
both ran a great race today,'' said Baffert, who leads the meet in both wins
(34) and stakes victories (seven). "First Dude is just a big old horse and
you've just got to let him settle. You just have to ride him with a lot of
confidence and that's what Martin did.
"When they hit the wire, I knew I'd won it. I just didn't
know which one. I was hoping for a dead heat. That would have been really cool.
They both could have gotten a "Win and You're In'' and really bust out the
Breeders' Cup. I didn't know what I was going to do with him, but now I can
take him to Del
Mar and run him in the ($1 million) Pacific Classic (Aug. 28).
"I've got to give a lot
of credit to Chantal. She rode a great race. She really picked that horse up
and carried him and got a second wind. He was on the lead and that's the way he
wants to run.''
Twirling Candy's trainer John Sadler and jockey Joel Rosario
believe the distance may have gotten the best of the talented 4-year-old.
"He was relaxed,'' said Rosario. "A mile and a quarter may
be a little too far for him. He was good and had no excuses. I wasn't even
asking him to relax, he just did everything on his own. He just got a little
tired in the lane.''
Game On Dude paid $5.60 and $3.60 while the show payoff on
Twirling Candy was $2.40.
Setsuko, who was a nose behind Game On Dude in a roughly run
Big `Cap in early March, was 2 ¼ lengths behind Twirling Candy, then came defending
champ Awesome Gem, Dark Cove, the mare Miss Match and Soul Candy.

SECOND seed Roger Federer will meet six-time winner Rafael Nadal in the final of the ATP's Rome Masters after a hard-fought 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 semi-final win over Frenchman Benoit Paire.
Paire has been one of the sensations of the tournament and pushed his Swiss rival to a first set tiebreak.
However, Federer raised his game in an equally tight second set to set up a Sunday final with Nadal after the Spaniard accounted for Czech Tomas Berdych 6-2 6-4.
Berdych had caused the first major upset of the tournament when he ousted world number one Novak Djokovic on Friday.
However, despite an improved second set performance against the fifth seed, the Czech could not match Nadal's power as the Spaniard put himself within touch of a second title inside a week following his Madrid Masters triumph last Sunday.
Nadal admitted he was "very tired" after being pushed to three-set matches on his way to the semi-final.
But the Spaniard sent his rivals a veiled warning when he said this display was the best he had produced since his comeback.
"I think I did almost everything well," said Nadal.
"Changing direction, playing inside the court, going to the net when I had the chance.
"I am very happy about the way I played. I played one of my best matches since I came back, that's my feeling."

Heroes, Sacrifice and Why We Support Veterans and Military Families
"We all know and appreciate our veterans for keeping our country safe and free," State Senator Hugh T. Farley (R, C, I - Schenectady) said, "but do we ever take the time to tell them? These holidays are an especially appropriate time to shake the hand of a veteran and say 'thank you' -- that all of the sacrifices were worth it. Also remember to thank our current military personnel for their service to our country."

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Ford unveiled its 2015 Focus on Monday with tweaks to its exterior, an improved interior and a tiny 3-cylinder engine that has already earned solid reviews.
The Focus – Ford's best-selling car worldwide – will be on display next week at the Geneva Motor Show. It was unveiled on Monday in Barcelona.
The compact sedan, totally redesigned in 2010 for the U.S., will arrive at dealerships in the second quarter of the year.
It was one of the key cars that Ford dramatically upgraded as part of CEO Alan Mulally's efforts to balance the automaker's truck-heavy lineup with small, more appealing cars.
"Fuel efficiency is a critical piece of the Focus story," Raj Nair, group vice president of global product development, told reporters last week. "We wanted to take that even further with the new Focus."
Exterior changes to the Focus include a new front end similar to the sporty Fusion's, and a lower and slightly wider stance that gives the small sedan a more athletic look.
The 1-liter engine – whose bare block will literally fit in a suitcase – generates 123 horsepower and 148 lb.-ft. of torque. It has been available in Europe for the last couple of years, and in the subcompact Fiesta in the U.S.
With a six-speed manual, the only transmission available with the engine in the U.S., 1-liter Focuses are expected to easily exceed 40 miles per gallon on the highway.
The car also will be available with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine.
"It looks more like an entry-luxury car now," Bill Visnic, senior analyst at Edmunds.com, told the Detroit Free Press. "Buyers will get a more sophisticated car, particularly on the interior."

Social Security Disability Insurance Costs More than Medicare
August 14, 2013
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is one of the largest federal programs; it is also one of the most troubled. The program's expenditures have doubled over the last decade, reaching an estimated $144 billion this year. Spending has risen so rapidly that SSDI's trust fund is projected to be depleted just three years from now, says Tad DeHaven, a budget analyst at the Cato Institute.
SSDI was originally created as a modest safety net aimed at severely disabled workers who were close to retirement age, but Congress has expanded benefit levels over the decades and eligibility standards have been greatly liberalized.
- The result is that people capable of working are instead opting for the disability rolls when confronted with employment challenges.
- Once on the disability rolls, experience shows that individuals are likely to remain there, which is bad for the individuals, taxpayers and the economy.
The process for determining eligibility for disability insurance benefits has become a bureaucratic nightmare.
- Applicants often pursue a lengthy and litigious appeals process if their initial applications are denied.
- And there is a growing reliance on subjective considerations in evaluating claims, which has exacerbated the difficult task of determining whether an individual is truly "disabled."
- Specialty law firms working on a contingency fee basis have taken advantage of the complex system and its inconsistencies to reap a financial bonanza at taxpayer expense.
SSDI has become financially unsustainable and economically damaging, and policymakers should pursue major spending cuts to the program. They should also explore the potential to transition responsibility for disability insurance from the government to the private sector.
If Americans are not becoming less able to work because of health problems, why are the disability rolls increasing? Economists David Autor and Mark Duggan note that "the rapid growth of Disability Insurance does not appear to be explained by a true rise in the incidence of disabling illness, but rather by policies that increased the subjectivity and permeability of the disability screening process." Similarly, economist Richard Burkhauser calls the explosion in the number of people gaining federal disability benefits a "policy-driven epidemic."
