Have I developed Asthma?
Patient : Just today, I was running with my class for PE. (We were running a 1.5 mile run around the track and field) I was doing fine for the first and second lap but had to slow down to a walk because it became super hard to breath. I sprinted the last bit, I felt fine but after I walked away from the track and field, I started to become light headed and I started to black-out, it hurt to breath and I had a pain in my chest. The thing that gets me going is that others told me that I was out of shape and I just need to train more, which I agree with, however, its never my muscles that are sore after exercise, its always my lungs that hurt. I think I have asthma but I'm not sure, which is why I was hoping someone could answer my questions or at least point me in the right direction in what should be my next step. I've been told by the schools nurse that I should go get a blood sample test done so that they can see what the problem is.

Hi, again!
Sorry it took so long to get back with you.The only information I have concerning any Pharis family members is that one married a Tobitha (Tabitha?) Askew in Louisiana around 1865.I believe it was in either Rapides Parish.
I am searching for the family of Tabitha Askew and her father, Henry Askew.I believe this Henry to be the same Henry Askew of Columbia County, Ark. and Calcasieu Parish, LA but am not for certain.
I wish I had more information but that is all I have to go on for right now.

TWISTED SISTER frontman Dee Snider will release a career-spanning compilation, "Rock And Roll Ain't Dead - Dee Snider Essentials 1983-2015", in March through Rhino. The collection will feature music from all of Snider's projects over the years — including TWISTED SISTER, WIDOWMAKER, DESPERADO, VAN HELSING'S CURSE and DEE DOES BROADWAY — as well as three brand new songs.Speaking to Canadian rock journalist Mitch Lafon of the "One On One With Mitch Lafon" podcast (Facebook page), Snider said about how the new solo material came together (hear audio below): "My solo guitar player; his name is Nick Perri. He played with a band called SILVERTIDE, he played with SHINEDOWN, [and] he played with Perry Farrell. He's a young gun and he's just a fucking dream. I've known him for a long time, and he's a guitar player that I just marveled at, watching him play. And as life came together, he wound up filling in for a solo show. And after the show, my crew and everybody were blowing my phone up and they said, 'You found your Randy Rhoads.' And I said, 'What?' They go, 'Nick Perri is your Randy Rhoads.' I said, 'At 60, I found my fucking guy?' I'm done, man. I'm fucking done. Now I find my guy?' He goes, 'Dude, it was amazing. The two of you, he complemented you, but he didn't… He worked with you, not against you, he didn't clash with you. He complemented the band. He elevated the entire solo band. It was amazing.' And so I went home. And I love Nick. And I was talking to my wife and my son, and I was telling them about the weekend, and they said, 'Why don't you do it?' I said, 'Do what?' They said, 'Why don't you put out some new music with this guy?' I said, 'Are you fucking nuts?' And my son said, 'I haven't seen you talk like this about anything musical in decades.' My son said, 'Dad, as long as I've lived, I've never heard you talk like this.' And [my wife] Suzette said, 'I haven't seen you have any kind of excitement when it comes to music.' It wasn't something odd, like 'Dee Does Broadway', or something, where it was just like a challenge. And I said, 'Really?' So I call up Nick. I said, 'Nick… You got any…?' 'Cause I haven't written new music in decades. I said, 'You got any songs?' He says, 'Three hundred. They're just missing vocals.' I said, 'You have three hundred songs with no vocals?' he goes, 'I can't write melody.' So he's sending me the stuff, and it just speaks to me. And I call him back. I said, 'Dude, did you strip out vocals?' Because, unlike normally, when guitar players write music, guitar players hate a vacuum; they've gotta fill it with fiddling around. He goes, 'No. I just hear where the vocals should go. I just don't hear what the vocals should be.'" He continued: "There are three new songs on there. One's called 'Rock And Roll Ain't Dead', which my son Jesse wrote. I've always loved the song, and it was my rebuttal to Gene Simmons and when people say the music scene is so dead. Then there's 'Soul Lady', and then there's 'To Hell And Back'. Those are the three new songs that are already recorded, and they will be on the retrospective record, and there may even be a fourth. I'm actually working with a very contemporary writer now, who is on a mission to write me a new anthem that's going to appeal to new generations. And he's approached me about recording a song that he's working on. So there may be a fourth. So there's gonna be new music for the first time." Dee added: "Quite honestly… it's really just testing the water. Because we've talked about doing an album, and I said, 'Nobody's buying albums.' I said, 'Who knows if anybody is even fucking interested?' So [if] we put out this thing, and people react to the new material, and there's a positive reaction, it could lead to a more extensive… 'Cause Nick and I just connect. As a writer, he's very old school, but he's got a lot of new-school influences as well. "Anyway… So you may hear more Dee Snider solo. And that's really the direction, if I'm doing [anything] musically, I'm heading in." Dee then clarified: "I'm not leaving TWISTED SISTER; I wanna be clear. We've got four shows together this year — maybe five or six now this summer — but I'll be doing a lot more solo shows this year." Snider's new solo band includes Perri, guitarist Dan McCafferty (DEE SNIDER'S SMFS, DEE DOES BROADWAY), bassist Nicolai "Nosferatu" Nifoussi (AUTOMATIC 7) and drummer Joe Franco (WIDOWMAKER, VAN HELSING'S CURSE, TWISTED SISTER, GOOD RATS). A new TWISTED SISTER song, "30", appeared on the 25th-anniversary re-release of the band's classic album "Stay Hungry" in 2009. The track was described as an autobiographical take on the New York group's storied history in the world of heavy metal. "Dee Snider's Rock & Roll Christmas Tale", starring and written by the iconic rocker, directed by Adam John Hunter and produced by John B. Yonover, played Chicago's Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 E Chestnut) November 4, 2014 through January 4, 2015.

(Can be read by Friends or Family members at the Ceremony or added to the ceremony)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being an Ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old grief's, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms, Which I gaze on so fondly to-day, Were to change by to-morrow, and fleet in my arms, Live fairy-gifts fading away, Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art, Let thy loveliness fade as it will, And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still.
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own, And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear, That the fervor and faith of a soul may be known, To which time will but make thee more dear! No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close, As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets The same look which she turned when he rose!
by Thomas Moore
May your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitement marriage should bring, and may life grant you also patience, tolerance, and understanding.
May you always need one another - not so much to fill your emptiness as to help you to know your fullness. A mountain needs a valley to be complete; the valley does not make the mountain less, but more; and the valley is more a valley because it has a mountain towering over it.
May you need one another, but not out of weakness. May you want one another, but not out of lack. May you entice one another, but not compel one another. May you embrace one another, but not out encircle one another. May you succeed in all important ways with one another, and not fail in the little graces. May you look for things to praise, often say, "I love you!" and take no notice of small faults.
If you have quarrels that push you apart, may both of you hope to have good sense enough to take the first step back.
May you enter into the mystery which is the awareness of one another's presence - no more physical than spiritual, warm and near when you are side by side, and warm and near when you are in separate rooms or even distant cities.
May you have happiness, and may you find it making one another happy. May you have love, and may you find it loving one another.
by James Dillet Freeman
"The love of God, unutterable and perfect, flows into a pure soul the way that light rushes into a transparent object.
The more love that it finds, the more it gives itself; so that as we grow clear and open, the more complete the joy of loving is.
And the more souls who resonate together, the greater the intensity of their love, for , mirror-like, each soul reflects the others.
by Dante
Love is a friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad. It settles for less than perfection, and makes allowances for human weakness. Love is content with the present. It hopes for the future and it doesn't brood over the past. It's the day-in and day-out chronicle of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories, and working toward common goals. If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it is not enough, so search for it, ask God for it, and share it!
Let your love be stronger than your hate and anger. Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break. Believe the best rather than the worst. People have a way of living up or down to your opinion of them. Remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship. The person you choose to marry is deserving of the courtesies and kindnesses you bestow on your friends. Please hand this down to your children and your children's children
Marriage is a commitment to life, the best that two people can find and bring out in each other. It offers opportunities for sharing and growth that no other relationship can equal. It is a physical and an emotional joining that is promised for a lifetime.
Within the circle of its love, marriage encompasses all of life's most important relationships. A wife and a husband are each other's best friend, confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic. And there may come times when one partner is heartbroken or ailing, and the love of the other may resemble the tender caring of a parent or child.
Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life. Happiness is fuller, memories are fresher, commitment is stronger, even anger is felt more strongly, and passes away more quickly.
Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid. It encourages and nurtures new life, new experiences, new ways of expressing a love that is deeper than life.
When two people pledge their love and care for each other in marriage, they create a spirit unique unto themselves which binds them closer than any spoken or written words. Marriage is a promise, a potential made in the hearts of two people who love each other and takes a lifetime to fulfill.

Groin strain problem
Patient : Hello, I am 19 years old and play sport quite alot. I recently played soccer for 30 mins and it seemed like my groin popped so i believe it could of been a strain. I rested this 3 /4 weeks and the pain was gone so i started playing soccer and running again. The morning after soccer my groin felt no pain but was extremley stiff. Why is this? thanks
Symptoms: I did feel a popping pain and pain during movement. Now i dont feel pain but liked mentioned i feel a lot of stiffness in the groin.
Doctor : Hi, Thank you for your question. Based on the description, you could be suffering from the following: 1. Labral Tear 2. Muscle Strain A Labral tear is a tear in the ligament that covers the Hip joint. A tear in this ligament will cause a defect in movement of the Hip joint. There will be a popping sound when the Hip moves, A Labral tear occurs in soccer players because of the kicking motion. A Labral tear can cause osteoarthritis in future. You will need to contact a Doctor to get Image Scanning done to diagnose. After diagnosis, you can use NSAIDs like Ibuprofen to lessen the pain. Physical Therapy will also help to some extent. If medication and physiotherapy do not help, you will need to get surgery done to repair the Labral tear.

A big debate has sprung. Many Americans have recognized what the Anti-Federalist predicted and feared: a centralized government that has conspired to subvert the Constitution and render the States as vassalages and the citizens as serfs. And all three branches of the federal government are guilty of this, as predicted.
It's not too late. We still have the capability to restore our sovereignty and our constitutional republic. It is just a matter of means.

Nineteen years ago today, Lubbock Mayor Bill McAlister recognized the efforts of longtime resident O.J. "Bo" Sexton for almost 50 years of service to the Goodfellows program, which began shortly before he moved to Lubbock.
"Whereas 'Bo' Sexton exemplifies the spirit of Christmas in word and deed ..." reads a portion of the proclamation declaring Dec. 23, 1982, Bo Sexton Day.
Through the years, many people have worked diligently to keep Sexton's dream alive through the Goodfellows program, including his son, Jim Sexton. "Goodfellows was dear to his heart. He did it for the kids. That's what it's all about."
Jim was an infant when his parents moved from Plainview to Lubbock in 1933 for his father to manage the Western Union office here. The following year, Sexton joined a group of businessmen who had banned together to make Christmas happen for the children of Lubbock.
A year ago, The Avalanche-Journal introduced the "Families of Lubbock" feature as part of its 100th birthday celebration. The weekly segment has proven so popular it will continue in 2001 as part of the "Make Kids Count" initiative. A year ago, we introduced you to a number of families who helped make Lubbock what it is today. This year, we invite you to meet people who make this community a special place. Some you may have heard of; others you may not be aware of. Happy reading.
"They were in the midst of the Great Depression, but through all of that, they made sure every child had a toy, an apple, an orange, a candy bar and some nuts on Christmas morning," Jim said.
Sexton's specialty became purchasing the toys. "Then he'd work for days to make sure everything was ready for the big day," Jim said.
The payoff came on early on Christmas morning when the people of Lubbock gathered at the fairgrounds to pick up the items and deliver them. "That was the highlight of the year for him and for many of us who came to help," Jim said.
Bo Sexton's support of the community was not limited to the holidays. According to his obituary, published Dec. 11, 1983, Sexton logged 53 years of perfect attendance in Kiwanis, served as president in the Plainview and Lubbock Chambers of Commerce and on the Lubbock Board of City Development.
O.J. "Bo" Sexton spent almost 50 years assisting the Goodfellows program.
He also was instrumental in forming the Matador Club, the precursor to the Red Raider Club, as well as the Lubbock County Junior Livestock Show.
The Palestine native also earned accolades as an employee of Western Union. He began working for the telegraph company when he was 8 and became an operator at 14. Sexton worked his way up through the company to become one of the youngest office managers. He was manager of the Lubbock office from 1933 to 1963.
"Dad enjoyed working, and always encouraged us to help others," Jim said.
He continued the family's philanthropic spirit. In the mid-1960s, Jim served as chairman of the Lubbock Christmas Seals campaign and was on the Hale County Tuberculosis Association. He also has served in various capacities with other organizations, including the Lubbock County Society for Crippled Children, Salvation Army, Boy Scouts of America, American Heart Association and Texas Tech. Jim's support of Tech began early on with his father's involvement in the Matador Club and continues today.
Jim graduated from Lubbock High School in 1950 and then entered Tech. He played basketball for the Red Raiders from 1952-1955, when he graduated.
Lubbock became home for Jim and his wife, Sue, when Jim returned to Reese Air Force Base to serve as pilot instructor. He had received his wings at Reese, after entering the Air Force through ROTC training during the Korean War.
After an honorable discharge, Jim worked briefly for Furr's and then became an officer at First National Bank. In 1984, he left the bank to concentrate his efforts on Sexton Transportation, which he purchased in 1978.
Lubbock had long held familiarity for Sue Sexton as well. Her family was among the town's first residents.
George M. Hunt, Sue's great-grandfather, came to the Plains in 1884, according to an Aug. 11, 1940, article in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. He first lived in the Estacado settlement before helping establish the town site of Lubbock. He built the first home in Lubbock and later operated the city's first hotel. Lubbock's first primary school bears his name. The school opened in 1917, just two years before Hunt's death.
C.E. Hunt, one of two in the second generation of Hunts in Lubbock, wrote and lived many of the "firsts" logged for the city. According to a Nov. 11, 1961, A-J article, Hunt was the first dairy farmer, first wholesale grocer and partner in the first electricity plant. He also kept track of significant events that occurred in town, including the weather.
Sue Sexton's father, Ewell L. Hunt, added to the family's list of "firsts" when he became the first Tech graduate to earn a medical degree. In 1934, he established a medical partnership with Dr. O.W. English, which lasted more than 50 years. Dr. Hunt died in 1990.
"Lubbock is a wonderful town, our families are well known, and we've enjoyed living here," Jim said.

Cell Tower health effects still uncertain
Cell Tower health effects still uncertain
By Joe Baker
By Joe Baker
Senior Editor
Buried in the Telecommunications Act of 1966 was the statement that zoning for cell phone tower sites could not be based on the environmental effects of radio-frequency emissions, to the extent that such facilities comply with the FCC regulations concerning such emissions.
The wording was a sneaky way to include health effects on humans in the category of environmental effects.
The entire issue of radio frequency (RF) emissions has become a complex one with respect to their effects on the human body. No conclusive studies seem to exist, despite a fair amount of research
Concern about this portion of the electromagnetic spectrum spans many years. The research that has been done has generated considerable controversy. That controversy shows no signs of slowing down.
Many places have banned or restricted cell tower placement until more definitive answers on the health hazard issue are produced. Rockford decided to go ahead with installations despite questions about hazards.
Radiation is a part of our environment, like it or not, but it is not without dangers. There are two types of radiation-ionizing and non-ionizing. The first is short wavelength radiation, such as X-rays and ultraviolet light; the latter is the type of radiation emitted by powerlines, radios, TV, microwave ovens and cellular phones.
Ionizing radiation has the power to cause permanent damage to cells, creating cancers and genetic mutations. Longer wave radiation was believed to be harmless because of lower power. But the longer waves can have thermal effects on human tissue.
FCC safety guidelines for this radiation are based on those effects. Yet, there is considerable evidence that non-thermal effects pose some serious effects for humans. Among the results of this non-thermal radiation are various cancers, birth defects, immune system suppression and others.
Researchers have found baffling nonlinear effects which point to the most profound effects at the lowest exposures.
One scientist, at an Air Force laboratory in New Mexico in 1992, said non-thermal effects produced at levels beneath todays limits should be given more attention. Cletus Kanavy said the effects of greatest concern are: behavioral aberrations, neural network perturbations, fetal tissue damage, cataractogenesis, metabolic changes, altered blood chemistry and suppression of the endocrine and immune systems.
The industry cites its own studies, performed by its own engineers and paid for by the government, which promulgate the results as safety standards. The wireless industry generally maintains that low energy emissions pose little or no health threat to people. They say the hazard is not the cell tower, but the antenna mounted on it, and direct exposure to that antenna would be necessary to produce any adverse health effects.
The Rock River Times requested comment from the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association on this issue. Our calls were not returned.
The telecommunications industry is a powerful lobby. They dont like local restrictions. They seek interstate commerce status to avoid local control. If they win at the federal level, they believe, they win in all the states.
More than 50 scientists and public health officials in the Boston area recently petitioned the EPA to stop the buildout of a personal communications system (PCS) phone network in that city. The petition was ignored.
Dr. Henry Lai of Seattle has spent years researching the effects of radio frequency radiation. He commented: An important question regarding the biological effects of RFR is whether the effects are cumulative, that is, after repeated exposure, will the nervous system adapt to the perturbation and, with continued exposure, when will homeostasis break down, leading to irreparable damage? The question of whether an effect will cumulate over time with repeated exposure is particularly important in considering the possible health effects of mobile telephone usage, since it involves repeated exposure of short duration over a long period of time.
In the case of the handset user, the exposure is voluntary. For those who must live near a cell phone tower, it is not. That is reason enough for more and better research before these towers are allowed to proliferate.

While Earth Day was on April 22nd, many celebrities are out supporting the rise of environmental awareness.
Tori Spelling and her four children, sons Liam and Finn and daughters Stella and Hattie, are going green not just on Earth Day, but every day.
"Every day is Earth Day in our house,"
Spelling said. "We definitely try to teach our kids to take care of the earth. Just the other day, actually, in fact it was in the playroom, Liam came up and said,
'I turned off the lights in the playroom because I don't want the earth to get sick.' It was really cute."
She also told Celebrity Baby Scoop that she teaches her children to recycle and compost.

I know that this took awhile to do but I have still been blue screening with that direct x error..
I ran the Prime 95 test for 3 minutes and had no errors BUT my CPU temps were getting way to high. Around 70Degrees for the individual cores. I'm going to attempt to reseat it with some new thermal paste (this processor has never been reseated and it's 5 years old) so I will try running the test again after this!

Just reseated the processor and running the Prime 95 Test again (FFT's portion -- that's what I ran before as well)
Currently my temperatures are about max of 67 degrees celsius at like 5minutes in. It really isn't climbing much higher than that -- very slowly if anything. SO YES it is a lot better but still hot. I don't know if this could cause the Directx BSOD when i'm intense gaming/multitasking but it does seem like a slight issue... I will run the rest of the prime 95 tests and the other ones you mentioned..
|My System Specs
|01 Jun 2012
9 Minutes in, 0 Errors, 0 warnings - I'm stopping it because I hit 69 Degrees Celsius on one of my cores and I am going out for the night so I don't want to leave it on without me here.
Definitely a significant increase in performance after reseating the processor. I hope this solves my BSOD issue but like I said before, I will run the other tests.
LOL here... look at the 5 years of amazingness

As I sat at home last night, I realized it has been days since I put in any serious WoW time. Being uninterested in joining a serious guild, there's just not much there for me after getting my primes leveled up to 85. I could spend another 6 months leveling up my private guild, but there's so much more fruitful endeavors I could engage in. I probably won't, but at least the time will be free =p

There's an ad for a beard dye that uses celebrities with salt-and-pepper facial hair. And not as before after people, they leave the commercial they way they came in.
Michelle Shocked @ Dimitriou's Jazz Alley 03-28-2010Tuesday, March 29th, 2011
The was my first trip to the Jazz Alley, but hardly my first Michelle Shocked show. The Alley is nice, and I thought the food was tasty enough, even if they don't take Discover =\
I was probably 20th party in the door, but still managed to get the table right in front of Michelle's mic stand. Ended up sharing the table with 1 guy who said very little and a nice couple from La Conner that had been to the Alley before, but had never seen Michelle.
It was a good show, only a small bit of 'opening act'-ish stuff from her backup band without her, some of her doing seriously retro stuff solo, then the band and her did 5 pieces to go along with 5 paintings her man has done, Georgia O'Keefe, Amelia Earhart, Ella Fitzgerald, Anne Frank, and Audrey Hepburn. After a short break, she came back to do mid-career favorites, ending the encore with a medley of requests in semi-alphabetically order, even playing Hello Hopeville. I'd like to think it was because I kept asking for it and remembered her introducing Leroy the last time she came to town.
Think it throughMonday, March 28th, 2011
Quite out of character, I posted an ad to Craiglists' missed connections section. When I made eye contact with the guy driving past, I almost pulled around but was running late for something less important than true love. I knew it was a long shot, but something in those eyes made me figure it was worth a try. Imagine my surprise when I get a response a few days after posting. I suspect something is up when the guy seems really focused on quick sex rather than coffee and conversation, and when he gives me his digits to switch from email to SMS, a quick google reveals he once posted his number to a facebook group for a friend who'd lost their phone, and the profile pic, while hardly high-rez or detailed, shows enough that I can tell this dude is older, fatter, taller and way different skin tone than the guy I saw. Did he really think I wouldn't notice if we'd met in person? He also lives a good half-hour away by car, so there's zero chance he was walking around my neighborhood.
Once again, I am amazed at people's lack of google-awareness in the online dating world. Or perhaps I'm underestimating the desperational willingness to just go along with whatever comes one's way that is expected out of a CL meet up?
The lesson learned is to turn the car around and say hi next time.

Viva Oz Vegas at Triple Door (review)Friday, March 25th, 2011
So I think I've learned to avoid the early show at the Triple Door, at least for something like burlesque; this review covers the 7pm showing on Thursday 3/24/2011.
Food first – I decided to go against habit and tried the evening's special, a lamb curry that was supposed to be spicy-hot. The portion size for the 'full' order was good, and the sauce was a very tasty curry, but not hot at all. The veggies were minimal which wouldn't have been a bad thing if the meat had tasted fresher/less-game-y. In the end I ate less than half the meat, but all the rice/sauce/veggies I could. It was a disappointing start to the evening.
I was a little put off by the way they started the show with what seemed like at least a half hour of the band singing cover songs. Well, maybe they were singing. Everyone but the drummer looked to be lip-syncing and faking their instruments, but maybe it was just the aural dissonance of seeing such a Johnny-Cash-esque-bass come out of such a small guy. Either way, I was really surprised at how long they kept the stage dancer free. When they did finally bring in dancers, the guy side of the cast was underwhelming to say the least. Usually a Can-Can show is fun for watching both guys and girls, but not this one. The girls did have very realistic showgirl attire, but it was hard not to compare against the Nutcracker show I saw last Christmas, which was much more elaborate in sets and costumes.
Three ladies performed a nice set on the rings, and came back again to perform on hanging ropes during the second half of the show. Which brings me to another WTF moment, getting back to my seat after intermission, looking at the clock and seeing 8:16, when the show is supposed to be over by 8:30. And it was over by 8:40, so they did a 10 minute intermission before a 20 minute set? I have to assume the balance of musical and dancing numbers is better during a late show. And I also assume that in the late show you see more skin; you got a brief peak at "Marilyn's" covered nipples at the end of the 1st half of the show. There seemed to be a lot of missed lighting cues during the entire evening.
Frankly I was underwhelmed. I expected more out of a Can-Can show on the Triple Door stage. Don't get me wrong, I think all the performers put in a good effort with the material they were working from, but it seemed like a half-hearted attempt on the part of the director. It could be just an effect of cutting down the 10pm show for time and age (I notice the 7pm show is listed as just 17+), but still seemed like they could have done better. I was also confused by how comparatively gay/bi unfriendly the show was for something with a Wizard of Oz theme, and seemed very out of character for the Can Can shows I've seen before. I don't me unfriendly in the sense that they did gay-bashing-jokes, but rather in a if-you-are-gay-dont-bother-coming-nothing-to-see sort of way.
And to the Triple Door itself, this marks the second time I've been recently where I felt like the service level has declined noticeably. They did at least take my drink order this time, but it took 20 minutes to arrive, on a night where they weren't anywhere near capacity. And I found it really skeazy that when they found out I hadn't come up with a date for my second ticket, they tried to sell my second seat to someone, without planning on giving me my money back. I can live with a no-refunds policy, but if I paid for two seats, but come alone, as far as I'm concerned I paid for a $20 coat check that I can keep an eye on. Certainly not without at least asking me if I mind some stranger sharing my table, ON MY DIME, while you take their money as well.
I think the biggest lesson learned is that there's a difference between "can can presents" and "the can can castaways present". I will be paying closer attention next time.
Squeaking at last.fmThursday, March 24th, 2011
As annoying as the windows-version last.fm scrobbler's behavior can be, I have to say I'm impressed with the professionalism of their staff. In frustration and the complete and utter uselessness of their support forums, where moderators mark threads "FIXED" even has dozens of people are responding that the 'solution' doesn't work, I went and wrote an angry email to every email address I could find for the place, especially the ones that specifically ask you not to use them for support requests. As hoped for, being the squeaky wheel got me a response where the forums were silent. It wasn't a particularly helpful response, being the same assume-you-are-an-idiot-who-has-never-used-a-computer-solution every tech supporter tries first, "did you reinstall the product?" We shall see if they can come up with a useful second suggestion….
I will blame the iPad 2Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011
I dunno if that's the real reason that AT&T's 3G network is down in Seattle today, but it seems like an easy scapegoat to shoot for. I've been on the phone with AT&T wireless tech support for 26 mins so far, and only within the last 4 minutes, after making me wipe all my settings, did Karen 'Corts' bother to look up the status of the wireless network in Seattle and find out that it was known to be down since 8:51am this morning. Thanks a whole frackin lot. And it's expected to be down until at least 5pm today. But let's waste a half hour of your life first just to make sure you're extra pissed we're buying up t-mobile and will screw them up too.

Review for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Tampa, FL, USA
Great organization. I am a Big Brother. They did an excellent job of matching me with the perfect Little Brother. We have monthly check-ins with a match support specialist who gives us advice. There are also great activities for us to participate in -- the agency has tickets and discounts for many events. The agency is well run and I've enjoyed my time as a volunteer. (I am also a Board Member, but I'm writing this review about my experience as a volunteer.)

I'm getting as much out of it as my Little Brother. It's a reason to have fun, act young and ideally make an impact on someone.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Get them more money, so more kids on the waiting list could get Big Brothers and Big Sisters.

Three Roots CafePhoenix/Tempe Metro, Arizona
used to be good but the guy basrista is not friendly, makes it too bitter--or maybe that is the espresso fault. and what happened to all the VEGAN BAKED goods???
pia machita
3 Roots is a great coffee bar and hangout spot, but what they're overlooked for is their food. On the menu now is their delicious tempeh Reuben. I highly recommend it. They also have veggie burgers, sandwhiches, soups, and salads. This is a family run local business and needs our support. They are awesome folks and cater to the vegetarian/vegan crowd.

Sometimes, we require to scroll on specific element or div on angularjs application like scroll for go on specific comment, scroll on specific table row it. However we can do it using anchorscroll in angularjs application.
anchorscroll() will help to scroll on specific "anchor" div id. anchorscroll() is provided by angularjs. We can use it simply. We don't require to write login on code jquery, because it is easy to do using anchorscroll(). $anchorScroll will use with $location variable hash.

Turkey: Pope appeals for Christian-Muslim dialogue
Benedict XVI visited the 'Diyanet,' Turkey's presidency for religious affairs yesterday, where he met with Ali Bardokoglu, president of that department, and with various Turkish Muslims leaders, among them the Grand Mufti of Ankara and the Grand Mufti of Istanbul. The Pope began his English-language talk by greeting "all the Muslims in Turkey with particular esteem and affectionate regard." He also recalled how Turkey "is very dear to Christians: many of the earliest Church communities were founded here and grew to maturity, inspired by the preaching of the Apostles, particularly St. Paul and St. John. ... This noble land has also seen a remarkable flowering of Islamic civilization in the most diverse fields, including its literature and art, as well as its institutions. There are so many Christian and Muslim monuments that bear witness to Turkey's glorious past," in which "you rightly take pride." Benedict XVI then went on to explain how he had set out for Turkey "with the same sentiments as those expressed by my predecessor Blessed John XXIII, when he came here as Archbishop Giuseppe Roncalli, to fulfil the office of papal representative to Istanbul: '... I love the Turks, I appreciate the natural qualities of these people who have their own place reserved in the march of civilization'." Pope Benedict also reiterated the words of John Paul II, who visited the country in 1979: 'I wonder if it is not urgent, precisely today when Christians and Muslims have entered a new period of history, to recognize and develop the spiritual bonds that unite us, in order to preserve and promote together, for the benefit of all men, peace, liberty, social justice and moral values.' Such questions, Pope Benedict continued, "impel us to carry forward our dialogue as a sincere exchange between friends. ... Christians and Muslims, following their respective religions, point to the truth of the sacred character and dignity of the person. This is the basis of our mutual respect and esteem, this is the basis for cooperation in the service of peace between nations and peoples." "Christians and Muslims belong to the family of those who believe in the one God and who, according to their respective traditions, trace their ancestry to Abraham. This human and spiritual unity in our origins and our destiny impels us to seek a common path. ... As men and women of religion, we are challenged by the widespread longing for justice, development, solidarity, freedom, security, peace, defense of life, protection of the environment and of the resources of the earth. This is because we too, while respecting the legitimate autonomy of temporal affairs, have a specific contribution to offer in he search for proper solutions to these pressing questions." "Above all," he added, "we can offer a credible response to the question which emerges clearly from today's society, ... the question about the meaning and purpose of life, for each individual and for humanity as a whole. We are called to work together, so as to help society to open itself to the transcendent, giving Almighty God His rightful place. The best way forward is via authentic dialogue between Christians and Muslims, based on truth and inspired by a sincere wish to know one another better, respecting differences and recognizing what we have in common." "As an illustration of the fraternal respect with which Christians and Muslims can work together, I would like to quote some words addressed by Pope Gregory VII in 1076 to a Muslim prince in North Africa who had acted with great benevolence towards the Christians under his jurisdiction. Pope Gregory spoke of the particular charity that Christians and Muslims owe to one another 'because we believe in one God, albeit in a different manner, and because we praise Him and worship Him every day as the Creator and Ruler of the world.' "Freedom of religion, institutionally guaranteed and effectively respected in practice, both for individuals and communities, constitutes for all believers the necessary condition for their loyal contribution to the building up of society, in an attitude of authentic service, especially towards the most vulnerable and the most poor." The Pope completed his address by thanking God "for this happy occasion that brings us together in His name," and expressed the hope that Christians and Muslims "may come to know one another better, strengthening the bonds of affection between us in our common wish to live together in harmony, peace and mutual trust."

Drug-Free Workplace Act
Locate a Local Employment Lawyer
Drug-Free Workplace Act
Government agencies have drug-testing policies for all of their employees. Employee drug testing is allowed in the private sector during several situations, including pre-employment, reasonable suspicion, post-workplace, accident and random testing. However, for some organizations to receive grants or contractors to receive contract, they must abide by other drug-free guidelines.
What Is the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988?
The Drug-Free Workplace Act is federal legislation aimed at preventing drug use in the office and other work locations.
Does the Act Apply to Every Organization?
No. It only applies to organizations that have contracts with the federal government and those receiving federal grants.
What Does the Act Require Organizations to Do?
The Act requires every organization affected by the legislation to agree to create a drug-free workplace. The organization must be free of drugs prior to entering into a government contract or receiving a grant from the U.S. government. For example, an organization must post anti-drug policies around the workplace and make employees aware of drug use policies.
Do Employees Have to Follow the Guidelines in the Act?
Yes. All permanent and temporary employees must follow the guidelines instituted in the Act. Volunteers who are not paid are not subjected to the drug-free workplace rules.
Will My Company Get in Trouble for Not following the Guidelines?
Yes. An organization can receive one or more sanctions for:
- Making false statements to qualify for the grant
- Failing to make an effort to comply with drug-free workplace regulations
What Are the Sanctions for Non-Compliance?
The sanctions for non-compliance can vary depending on the infraction, but they can include suspension of grant payments or termination of a grant. The sanctions cannot last more than five years.
Should I Talk to a Lawyer about the Drug-Free Workplace Act?
Yes. To understand the anti-drug policy guidelines for receiving a contract or grant from the federal government, contact an employment lawyer to learn more. The lawyer may also help if the government agency believes you are not in compliance.

BUDAPEST, April 22 (Reuters) - Hungary's foreign currency reserves could be reduced cautiously if, as forecast, the country's short-term external debt decreases further, two senior central bankers said in a study published on Tuesday.
With central Europe's highest debt burden and heavy reliance on foreign financing, Hungary needs to exercise great care not to sour investor sentiment with too deep or too sudden a cut in reserves which could trigger a tumble in its forint currency and a knock-on sell-off in Hungarian bonds.
Hungary's foreign currency reserves jumped to 36.2 billion euros ($50 billion) by the end of March from 30.8 billion at the end of September due to strong inflows of European Union development funds and dollar bond issuance by the government.
Marton Nagy and Daniel Palotai said in the study published on business website portfolio.hu that the country's foreign currency reserves were expected to increase even more this year as Hungary receives additional EU funds.
They said the level of reserves exceeds the usual benchmarks watched by investors when they assess a country's vulnerability.
"Going forward, we can say that a continued reduction in the short-term external debt could be favourable with respect to the reserves needed ... and could allow a limited, gradual and cautious reduction in the reserves," they said.
The central bankers, who are not members of the rate-setting Monetary Council but are among top policy makers at the bank, did not specify the level to which the reserves could be cut, but that the level should leave enough of a buffer in case global investor sentiment deteriorates.
The bankers said Hungary's short-term external debt stood at 28 billion euros at the end of 2013 and its foreign currency reserves at 33.8 billion euros significantly exceeded this.
"But we need to be very cautious here: the reserves can be reduced only by a prudent assessment of risks, always ensuring that the reserves remain at a level expected by investors," they said. (Reporting by Krisztina Than; Editing by Louise Ireland)

Offense pops early behind Ozuna, Bour in tie
JUPITER, Fla. -- Marcell Ozuna's three-run homer in the second inning boosted the Marlins to a five-run advantage, but the Nationals rallied back with four runs in the seventh inning and pulled even on Isaac Ballou's RBI double. The game ended in a 5-5 tie on Friday at Roger Dean Stadium.
With Giancarlo Stanton playing for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, Ozuna batted cleanup and had two hits, including his homer, and a walk.
"Our at-bats have been pretty good," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "There were a lot of guys that had quality at-bats. Ozuna's at-bats were good today."
Wilmer Difo had an RBI triple in the fifth inning to get Washington on the board, and Michael Taylor had two singles.
• Auditions continue for Nats' final bench, 'pen spots
The Marlins did their damage early off Nationals right-hander Erick Fedde, Washington's No. 2-ranked prospect, according to MLBPipeline.com, who worked just 1 2/3 innings and gave up five runs. Fedde was lifted after Ozuna's two-out homer in the second inning and 51 pitches.
"I think I just kind of let the game speed up," Fedde said. "My fastball command was bad, and that just kind of led to the hitters staying off of everything else."
Marlins right-hander Scott Copeland, who is expected to open the season at Triple-A New Orleans, tossed three scoreless innings, giving up a hit and a walk and striking out one. It was his second straight start with three scoreless innings.
The Marlins manufactured two runs in the first inning. Dee Gordon led off with a drag-bunt single, and he swiped second for his first stolen base of the spring. Derek Dietrich had a sacrifice fly to put Miami on the board, and Ichiro Suzuki added a sacrifice fly to left.
• Rojas, Dietrich to man third as Prado recovers
Nationals Up Next: Joe Ross will be on the mound for the Nats when they host the Astros on Saturday at 1:05 p.m. ET on Gameday Audio at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. This will be the fourth Grapefruit League start for Ross, who has allowed two runs in 8 2/3 innings this spring with eight strikeouts and two walks.
Marlins Up Next: The Marlins head to Lakeland on Saturday to face the Tigers at 1:05 p.m. on Gameday Audio. Dan Straily, Miami's projected fifth starter, is scheduled to make the start. Detroit counters with Justin Verlander. Dietrich is expected to start at third base.

There are two versions of the C# specification – one from Microsoft, and one from ECMA. They are the same in all important respects (a few pieces of explanatory wording are different, but nothing that affects the specification itself) but the numbering of sections is different.
The ECMA specification is available as a PDF, or you can email ECMA and they will send you a hard copy for free. Details are on the ECMA website. Alternatively, Jon Jagger's HTML version is available and is a useful download. It is from a draft version, but it's very close to the final version. I don't know whether or not Jon Jagger is planning to make an HTML copy of version 2 of the specification when it's released.
The Microsoft version is available online or within the offline version of the MSDN – look for "specifications, Visual C#" in the index to find it quickly.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Baltimore Reads, Inc., Baltimore, MD, USA
My time with Baltimore Reads has been nothing short of a blessing. Having worked with the non-profit organization over the past several months, I have only become more and more impressed with them. Meeting the dedicated teachers and experiencing the positive energy they radiate in their classrooms has been especially wonderful. Teachers like Michael Dabney, create a safe and supportive learning environment for the students at Baltimore Reads that assists them in achieving both their personal and professional goals. The faculty and staff of Baltimore Reads do so much more than simply instruct their students in subjects ranging from adult literacy to GED Prep to English as a Second Language. They give them the tools to excel in every area in their lives. The offer everything from workshops that deal with resume writing and interview skills to First Aid and Child Care classes. Aside from their instructional programs, I found their mission to spread awareness about the issue of illiteracy and their attempts to combat it by ending the cycle of illiteracy in families incredibly inspiring. They offer children's programs, literacy parties, and a book bank where children's books are given away for free. They also offer parent workshops and student assemblies to find new ways for parents to get their child excited about reading. As an extension of my civic literacy class at Loyola University Maryland, I was asked to take a close look at Baltimore Reads and come to my own conclusion about the agency. It was after interviewing one particular staff member, Rachel Dolcine, on the Literacy Garden initiative that really made up my mind about the organization. She talked about how her goals for the garden and her goals for Baltimore Reads students were similar. Her greatest hope for Baltimore Reads students is that they will grow in such a way that allows them to not only sustain themselves but also to better serve their community.

With Inauguration Day approaching, President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is busy in its search to find the best people to make up Trump's staff.
One name being considered is that of South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
The Trump administration is said to be considering Haley to fill the position of Secretary of State.
Advertisement - story continues below
She was slated to meet with the president-elect on Thursday.
Along with Haley, Trump will also meet with Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Cincinnati Mayor Ken Blackwell and others.

Haley supported Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's campaign before he withdrew from the presidential race.
Throughout the primary, Haley was critical of Trump.
Advertisement - story continues below
When chosen to deliver the Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address in January, Haley took the opportunity to issue a warning to the voters.
"During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices," said Haley. "We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country."
South Carolina Lt. Gov. Henry McMaster said that as the daughter of Indian immigrants, Haley "could provide a fresh set of eyes on foreign affairs."
News of Haley's possible appointment to the position of secretary of state has led some to question her qualifications.
Advertisement - story continues below
Kendra Stewart, political scientist at the College of Charleston said, "Secretary of state is going to be a bit of a stretch for Haley's area of expertise."
Following the meeting, which took place in Manhattan, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said, "We're just happy to have her here for her advice and her counsel and hearing about the great success story that is South Carolina under her leadership."

The wealthy world of the Palm Beach horsey set seems a long way from a cop's world in the narcotics division. A lifetime ago, undercover sheriff's detective Elena Estes worked the mean streets and back alleys, living by her wits and playing the long odds until she took one risk too many. Now Estes lives on the ragged edge of lost hope and self-hatred, hiding from the past and believing she doesn't deserve to have a future. But the past is about to come back with a vengeance, and the future is about to become a race between life and death.
A young woman is missing and her 12-year-old stepsister comes to Estes for help. No one but serious, studious Molly Seabright seems concerned about what's happened to her troubled older sister. Estes has no P.I. license, and no desire to break her self-imposed exile. But the more she learns about the people Erin Seabright was involved with, the more her long-dormant cop instincts come back to life.
One trip to the showgrounds where Erin worked as a groom, and Estes is quickly pulled to the dark side of a glamorous sport. Behind the ultra-rich facade is an ultra-ruthless world of drugs, payoffs, and dirty deals. And in that world stalks a killer who will lead Estes down a twisted trail of mayhem and murder to a final showdown that could cost her everything. A race against time and evil. A race in which Estes is the dark horse...and no one is betting on her to win.

"A definite winner." (Booklist)
"good for a long drive"
I bought this book to listen to during a road trip, and it certainly served its purpose keeping me entertained. It was enjoyable enough but I had the plot figured out already halfway through. The narrator did a good job, I do generally like variations of voice for every character (but her accents, as others have pointed out, were terrible), and I felt that she rushed a bit sometimes. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something to keep your mind busy while you drive, but don't expect to be blown away.
"A good listen, not Hoag's best."
Not really, the story line was good but it moved slow.
Each character with unique personalities.
She needed to put more emphasis in parts of the audio.
That I cannot answer.
Tami Hoag is a great author. So enjoy her others. This one is not so good.
"Couldn't finish the first chapter"
Graphic descriptions of torturing & murdering horses. I wasted a credit on this one.
"A Bit Ridiculous"
I didn't see much imaginative about this book. Instead of throwing in some red herrings and misdirection, it was more like "let's make everyone a killer of some kind or another." I wouldn't listen to it again, and somewhat wasted my time listening to it the first time.
"Pretty apt."
Enjoyed the book very much. As I too work at a racetrack I can "feel" where she is coming from. So far we have not encountered any murders thank God, however the "backside" can be a very rough and clandestine place. I think anyone who loves horses or horse-racing or works in the field might enjoy this book.
"Silly book"
This book was silly and trite. Typical tale of numerous suspects and "brilliant" detective putting all the improbable leads together. Like thousands of other tales of this sort. The reader was very good in parts and very poor in other parts. In all, wish I hadn't wasted my time.
This is one of the best books I've ever 'read'. The narrator is fantastic and the story will keep your attention! The horsey details are very accurate and the characters are perfectly nasty! A book/horse nuts perfect read!
