A blonde man showed up at work one day with a black eye. When his co- workers saw him they asked him what had happened. He told them it had happened at church. They didn't believe him, and wanted to know what really happened.
So he told them, "I went to the church. I got on my knees and prayed. When I stood up to sing the hymns, there in front of me was the biggest woman I had ever seen. Her dress was stuck in her butt-crack, so being the gentleman I am, I reached over and pulled it out for her. She did not like that, so she hit me." The guys laughed and ribbed him about it all day.
The next week he showed up to work and his face was beaten really badly! Again the guys asked him what had happened and he told them he'd got beaten up at church. Again they didn't believe him, so he explained, "I went to the church. I got on my knees and prayed. When I stood up to sing the hymns, there in front of me was that same big woman with her dress again stuck up her butt-crack."
At this point the other men interrupted and said, "Please tell us you didn't pull her dress out of her crack again?"
"No, the guy standing beside me did, and I knew she didn't like that, so I shoved it back in."
How funny is this joke, video, picture?

3 minute pitch
39 RepliesJump to last post
I am looking for a quick pitch to explain what we do in a networking situation that doesn't come of to cheesy. Any ideas?
You might want to pick up a book called, Book Yourself Solid. Not sure of the author.
I have seen advisors give their elevator speech using this guy's method, and it worked very well.
If I remember correctly, he first started by asking a question. "You know those people that are near retirement and not sure how to make the transition? I help them by yada yada yada".
There is more to it, but I'll have to look in the book again to see how he says it.
I work with a select group of successful business owners and families in (your city here)
I have found that 90% (making up numbers here) of people, when it comes down to it, are really interested in retirement planning - whether it be accumulation, retirement planning, or distribution phase - even if they can't articulate it that way. Even for wealthy business owners, "succession" planning is really retirement planning. So I adapt my elevator speach for the prospect, but it usually revolves around retirement planning. "I help people with retirement planning issues, whether it's their 401K, accumulation of wealth, or creating enough income for their retirement." Since most of us are not working with the UHNW folks with highly complex issues, this covers the majority of those we come in contact with. And people can relate to "retirement planning."
"I help people invest for their retirement needs as well as mitigate their tax exposure so that they can leave a legacy for their loved ones."
I'm an investment advisor, my focus is on helping people plan for and live in retirement.
I help people define, plan for, and most importantly to achieve their financial goals.
What I do for a living is put people in A share American Funds based on track record for a 3% rip, then at the first sign of client panic I sell them out and place them in 20 year corporate bonds for a 2% rip, once the market rebounds and they want back in I place them in managed money for a yearly 1.5% rip. What firm am I ?
Starting out better to be specific. 'I'll help you roll your 401k.' .... 'I open IRAs.' .... 'I sell life insurance.' .... 'I sell tax free investments.'
Most people are not walking around looking for a financial advisor to do big picture things. But if you can solve an immediate problem you can move them in that direction.

Naptown Roller Girls? What's that?
Naptown Roller Girls is a league of great women and men who have come together to bring flat track roller derby to Indianapolis. NRG is a different type of league – we are competitive women who work to unlock our athletic potential. We have desire to bring our unique skills in order to run the league beyond "suiting up". We are willing to push ourselves physically, willing to give altruistically to the betterment of the league, and willing to show a level of commitment and maturity to accept the NRG experience will change our lives for the better. We believe, with conviction, that being part of NRG is one of the most meaningful experiences of our lives.
Okay, well, who are the Tornado Sirens?
The Tornado Sirens are the WFTDA (Women's Flat Track Derby Association) ranked competing team for the Naptown Roller Girls league. In order to become a Tornado Siren, you first have to be placed on the WFTDA Charter. The charter can include up to 20 people at one time and changes up to 4 times a year based on skill, attendance and attitude. Before each bout, fourteen girls from the roster will be chosen by the coach and/or captain to compete as a Tornado Siren.
We sure don't. And if we don't get paid – where does all that ticket money go? Well, we are lucky! Our fans pay for every thing we do when they buy a ticket to our bout. We are soooo very lucky to have each ticket purchased so that our league dues stay low and our travel to out of town bouts is paid for.
The money you spend buying our ticket pays for the program you received when you walked in, the posters we make to advertise our bout, renting the floor we skate on, paying the fairgrounds crew to set up the Coliseum, renting the Coliseum, paying the clean up crew to pick up all the trash when we leave, paying for the heat and lighting and sound system at the coliseum, buying the insurance for our audience and our skaters for the coliseum and at our warehouse, paying the rent at our practice warehouse, paying the astronomical heating bill at our practice warehouse, an accountant for our taxes, our taxes, the printing cost for the tickets, hotel rooms when we travel, rental vans or buses (depending on how far we are going), all the rope, tape, water, stop watches, projectors, screens it takes for the bout and practice space, paying the visiting team a bit for their travel, paying our refs and a very minimal staff to make our bouts happen….and all of this is just off the top of our heads! We are forgetting a list just as long! Thank you for your support – from the bottom of our hearts!
What if i don't make the Tornado Sirens right away?
The top 14 gals play for the Tornado Sirens. The next set of 14 play for our JV team, The Warning Belles. This team will compete against other leagues in the area. Not only will this help improve your skills, but it will also give you bouting experience necessary before playing a WFTDA ranked team.
Who can join Naptown Roller Girls?
• All team skaters must be female and at least 18 years of age.
• Men and women 18 and over may join in a variety of roles including referees, stat trackers and general help.
• Anyone of any age can help support NRG through promoting, fundraising, sponsoring, and attending events and matches.
• If you are interested in trying out send an email to email@example.com
NRG is currently a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The current set of WFTDA rules along with information on the minimum set of skill requirements can be found on the WFTDA website at http://www.wftda.com/official-rules/.
During a bout, two teams of five skaters each face off on the track. In our case, it's a flat track. Each team consists of a pivot, three blockers and a jammer. The blockers and pivot line up in front of the jammer line. Each jammer lines up behind that line. Those skaters have a star helmet cover on their helmets. When the whistle blows, the jammers and pack take off. When the first jammer makes it through the pack legally, she's designated the "lead jammer" and the jam officially begins. The jammers must lap the pack once before sprinting through the pack to score points by passing members of the opposing team. A jam lasts a maximum of two minutes, but the lead jammer has the right to call off the jam by putting her hands on her waist. The rest of the team tries to stop the opposing jammer from passing them and scoring. At the same time, they knock around the opposing team's blockers to help their jammer score.
Pulled muscles, sprains, strains, bruises, and/or broken bones will happen. This is why protective gear is required. We will also train, stretch and practice falling to help reduce injuries and their severity. The stronger you are the less likely you are to seriously injure yourself. Once you join the league, you will be required to have supplemental insurance offered through the league. If you don't have insurance through your employer, this plan will cover catastrophic injuries. It picks up where primary insurance stops. Injury is part of Derby, so common sense says it's wise to have health insurance. Research individual health insurance costs: www.bcbsks.com, www.insurance.com and www.healthinsurancefinders.com.
We won't lie, derby is a definite time commitment. NRG requires 60% attendance in order to ensure you are strong enough to take those heavy hits. We also require participating at our fun public events. Roughly 2 practices a week and 1 or 2 events a month will get you 60% every time. There are also ways to make extra credit practice points. Don't let the attendance requirement scare you away. All of our girls have lives outside of NRG and most make 80 – 100% attendance every month.
Since it's your league to help run we require you to join a committee. You can find a job to do that requires little time, up to as much time as you would like to give. We are an all-volunteer army, and in addition to our on-skates training, we do all of the organizing ourselves, with help from many fantastic volunteers.
The biggest expense will be for your equipment and dues. Dues for Fresh Meat are currently set at $30. You'll need: protective gear, skates, a uniform, and other incidentals as well. NRG will hold fundraising events to help pay for renting our practice space, advertising, and admin costs.
Because it is nearly impossible to find a store that sells roller skates (let alone good ones) most skating equipment must be purchased online. Because of the nature of mail order, and the costs of shipping, if you are unsure of what size you need or if you will like a particular item, first see if someone has a pair of skates or pads you can try on, so that it will be more likely you will not have to spend time and money returning equipment that is the wrong size. When you get your equipment in the mail, make sure you love it before you use it. Try on your skates on a carpeted surface and roll around for a while. Once you wear them out skating, they are yours and cannot be returned. Before ordering skates and equipment from an online vendor, check their return policies. Also, ask around about the different sites as some have better reputations for good service and merchandise than others.
The first thing you'll need is protective gear; a skate helmet, wrist, elbow, mouth guards and knee pads are required for practice and bouts. Tailbone and hip pads are also highly recommended. It makes good sense to avoid and reduce the severity of as many injuries as possible. Once you've decided that roller derby is really for you, you'll want to invest in a good pair of speed skates, which will run $80 – $150. Once you're hooked, you'll find the cheaper skates will slow you down, and make skating harder. In the very beginning at open skate sessions you'll be able to rent skates at the rink.
No. The flat-track roller derby we play is a real sport, just like hockey, rugby or soccer. It is an aggressive full-contact sport and our skaters consider themselves athletes. We train accordingly, practicing several times a week to keep our skills up to speed and our bodies trained for the grueling workout. We also like to keep a sense of humor with our smart and/or saucy names. After all, the real reason we play the game is because it's so much FUN!
No.The smaller girls are, generally speaking, the faster girls and are usually placed in the jammer position as team scorers. They are quick, and easy to whip around the rink, and generally fall down less, since they have a lower center of gravity.
Big girls are hard to push around and make for great blockers. Skating on a Roller Derby team will most likely get you in the best shape of your life!
What if I haven't been on skates since Junior High? Don't I have to be a great skater to even attempt Roller Derby?
Nope. A lot of us had not been on skates for years. We all started out at different skill levels, but with a lot of practice we created a nationally ranked roller derby team in a short amount of time. Before you decide you want to be a roller girl we ask that you work on getting your skate legs under you at many of the open skating sessions around Indianapolis, skate the monon, the park near you or in your drive way. Don't forget your protective gear every time you skate! Try outs happen once or twice a year. Get your legs under you and come skate with us!
This sounds great! How do I join?
Join our website forum and our mailing list to get information on meetings, skate sessions, gear, promotional events and practices. If you want to tryout to be an NRG Rollergirl after our season you will need:
1. Photocopy of valid ID & insurance card
2. Sign legal waivers and complete info sheets
3. Attend 60% of practice sessions, meetings and public events (roughly 2 practices a week, 1 meeting a quarter and 1 or 2 events a month)
4. Pay monthly membership dues of $30
5. Bear the expense of all personal equipment, practice fees, uniforms, dues.
6. Understand and accept the inherent risks of playing in the league as per the waivers
7. Understand and accept the time involved to be part of the league
Support staff and volunteers are required to complete info sheets and legal waivers.
What about dues? I need more info!
When you are ready to commit to our league, you can begin to pay dues. Dues are currently set at $20 per month. Dues must be paid at the first practice of each month or via pay pal prior to the first practice. Contact our finance chair via the message board forum if you need more info. Your $20 per month will pay for the rental of practice space each month, website hosting, practice and bout equipment, NRG club insurance, legal fees, bout rental space – the list of expenses is endless!
How do I get a Rollergirl or Ref name registered
Your derby name can be anything you want it to be, provided that its something that is suitable to be said in front of a large crowd of people. Here's the catch, it has to be a name that no one else in derbyland is currently using. There is a master roster of all currently registered derby names. So, once you think of a name that fits you, check the master roster to make sure that no one has it. The roster is located at: http://www.twoevils.org/rollergirls/ Don't worry if it takes a while to find a derby name you love. Get creative, and you'll find something that fits.
Once you have officially joined the Naptown Roller Girls league and you have met the requirements in the code of conduct, you can submit your requested derby name to the name wrangler (currently Slammy Faye). She will submit requested names to the master derby list. Your name will then be checked against the master list. If it is not too similar to a name currently registered, it will be approved and your name will be added to the master roster. If the name is similar, you may receive a request to ask permission of the skater with a similar name and it will be up to that skater to decide if your name is too close to hers. Or, if the name is extremely similar your request may be denied and you will need to think of a second choice. Please, DO NOT email your name to the national list on your own. This causes MUCH added stress to the ladies that keep that list updated.

If Democrats fail to field a gubernatorial candidate, I'd like to believe that I could choose Marty Jackley's executive experience over Kristi Noem's persistent substanceless imagism. But there goes Jackley attending an anti-Islam hate fest in Rapid City:
A group that one expert called the "KKK for Muslims" hosted a two-hour presentation in Rapid City last weekend about the history of Islam.
ACT for America, a national organization categorized by the Southern Poverty Law Center as the "largest grassroots anti-Muslim group in America," held the event Saturday at the Best Western Ramkota Hotel in front of around 250 people.
South Dakota Attorney General and Republican gubernatorial candidate Marty Jackley was in attendance, but his office declined to comment when reached after the event.
Following the presentation, the Rev. Craig Moore of First Assembly of God told the audience that Secretary of State Shantel Krebs was also present. Krebs' office did not respond to multiple requests for comment [Mike Anderson, "Anti-Muslim Group Gives Presentation in Rapid City," Rapid City Journal, 2017.05.06].
Shantel? You, too? Dang!
Jackley is running for Governor; Krebs is running for U.S. House. I would like to think they are more rational and respectful than to attend these hate fests… but such are the depths of un-American indignity to which one must stoop when facing a rabid Republican primary electorate.
CAIR offers this background information on ACT for America:
ACT for America is a virulently anti-Muslim hate group headed by Hanah Kahwagi Tudor, who goes by the pseudonym "Brigitte Gabriel." "Gabriel" has stated that an American Muslim "cannot be a loyal citizen" and that Islam is the "real enemy." She once told the Australian Jewish News: "Every practicing Muslim is a radical Muslim." When asked whether Americans should "resist Muslims who want to seek political office in this nation," Tudor said, "Absolutely."
- CAIR Islamophobia Monitor: Brigitte Gabriel (ACT for America)
- CAIR Islamophobia Monitor: ACT for America
Her hate group's anti-Muslim bigotry was highlighted recently in a Washington Post exposé.
SEE: This group believes Islam threatens America: 'It's a spiritual battle of good and evil.'
A member of ACT for America allegedly attended a recent meeting in North Carolina at which the killing of Muslims was reportedly suggested.
SEE: CAIR Calls on Feds to Probe Call to Violence Against U.S. Muslims at N.C. Meeting of Hate Groups [Council on American-Islamic Relations, press release, 2017.05.06].
Mr. Attorney General, Madame Secretary of State, please don't grace any more of these hate meetings with your presence. But if you do, at least have the decency and integrity to speak up about the meetings, tell us what you think of what you heard… and offer the people you serve—who include thousands of Muslims, immigrants, and others demonized by ACT for America—your assurance that you will not be swayed by such hateful propaganda.

You bought your CR-Z because its fuel efficiency and economical pricing struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Obviously, you bought your CR-Z because you knew that you wanted long-lasting quality and dependability both rolled up into one automobile. Honda vehicle owners have become used to a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their CR-Z around town. When your Honda CR-Z rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who values driver satisfaction in their automobile.
The thousands upon thousands of revolutions our engines make each day would eventually tear them apart without lubrication. It was early in the 20th century when the oil filter was first imagined, and your Honda CR-Z engine benefits from the innovations made a century ago. Your Honda CR-Z oil filter traps the dirt and metal shavings generated by the engine as oil flows through it so it remains clean. Without this process being performed by your oil filter, the engine oil would turn to sludge and not lubricate your engine anymore.
Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Honda CR-Z part for your project or repair. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Honda CR-Z Oil Filter for your 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 model.

The theme of the party was Rubber Duckies supported by the colors pink and yellow. Oddly enough, these were the same colors as London's first birthday party which had a Pink Lemonade theme.
My girlfriend, Emily, made the invitations as usual. She does such a great job taking my ideas and bringing them into an actual visual design. Emily also made all the tissue pom poms for me and the "Happy 1st Birthday" banner, which included a separate plaque with Sydney's name on it that I could then hang from her bedroom door, just like I had done with the name plaque from London's 1st birthday party banner that Emily had made for her.
I got a little crafty with some other banners. With the new house and hardly anything up on the walls it was very clear we had a lot of wall space to play with. I had found myself with a spare 1/2 hour back in August while running some errands at which time I ran into Joann's for fun. Fabric was 25% off so I grabbed a yard of pink and a yard of yellow. The week leading up to the party I managed to cut the fabric into triangles and hang the triangles from some twine on many of the walls. I should have sewn the place where the twine went through the triangles, but I didn't have that kind of time, nor have I unpacked my sewing machine, so I improvised and stapled the triangles to the twine. Because I didn't spend so much time on these, I had a much easier time just throwing the banners out when I took all the decorations down. By the way, I had a ton of triangles left over ever after hanging all these banners. A 1/2 of yard would have worked just as well I think.
For the table centerpiece, I ordered a Jumbo Rubber Ducky and glued on "bubbles" left over from London's 2nd "Bubble" themed birthday party (plastic ornament balls sprayed with iridescent spray paint). I also ordered many mini rubber duckies to place around the house and for kids to play with.
On Sydney's birthday we ran into the Dollar Store to pick up the paper plates, cups and utensils. Whenever in there, I like to peruse the other aisles. When I spied some cylinder vases and blue vase pebbles, inspiration hit and I grabbed two of each. I filled the vases with the blue glass pebbles, a little water and then floated a mini rubber duck in each. I think they added just the right touch. Not to mention the roses my mom picked up at Costco the day before the party. That rounded out the decor.
I kept the food simple - salads and dips. The only effort I truly went to on the food front was baking from scratch white cake cupcakes and a 4-layer chocolate cake. I colored store-bought white frosting blue and made an attempt at making fondant duckies. I was going to order some, but the source I found wanted $2 per duck and then $20 in shipping. I found I could order all the supplies to make them on my own for the same amount! I think they turned out pretty well. Not sure what I am going to do with all the extra fondant as I only made 4 duckies. 3 for the cake and 1 for Sydney's smash cupcake. And no, I did not use a sharpie to make the eyes. I actually found a pen on Amazon for cooking needs. It's called a Gourmet Pen. We may use the pen again this Christmas to make faces on some marshmallow men.
The last thing I did was order a personalized onesie for Sydney to wear that day. I found a shop on Etsy called Spool of Plenty. The lady was great and allowed me to order the onesie even though she was listed as taking a vacation from the shop (she actually just turned her shop back on last week!). It turned out so cute! Unfortunately, I did run out of time and never made a tulle tutu for her to wear with the onesie. Luckily, I had London's 1st birthday skirt hanging in Sydney's closet and it was a good backup. I also apparently didn't get a good picture of Sydney in the onesie. Sorry.
Sydney had a blast as did every one else. Many dear friends showed up for the festivities, including Sydney's old daycare teachers Amber & Jenn. It was obviously they missed Sydney and she missed them.

Romeo & Juliet
In Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, the presence of conflict is extraordinary. Conflicts consist of two opposing characters; the conflict can be external as in a struggle between two characters or internal as in a struggle between a character's actions and his/her conscience. The major conflicts the play focuses on is endearment and despise the family feud of Capulet's against the Montague's as well as love and fate. The conflicts are shown through the use of powerful language and many linguistic techniques.
The play begins with the main conflict between the Capulets and the Montagues in Verona. These two powerful families had been feuding for years to the point that no one remembers the cause of their hate towards each other. In the prologue, the term "Ancient grudge", tells the audience that the conflict between Capulets and Montagues has been going on for generations. One of the conflicts started when he servants of the two houses started a fight out of a simple argument. In the servant's brawl, the Capulet servants picked a fight in the streets by "biting their thumbs" at the Montague servants. As seen on the story, "What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee. Coward! Act 1, sc. 1, lines 71-73." It then escalates to a full blown battle with even the ladies and lords getting involved .In the end, the Prince intervened and said "If ever you disturb our streets again, your lives will pay the forfeit of the peace. Act 1, sc. 1, lines 98-99." The most serious conflict was the scene where Mercutio picks a fight with Tybalt. Mercutio draws his sword on Tybalt. Tybalt accepts this challenge and they fight. Romeo remembers the Prince's threat and...

NEW DYNAMICS BETWEEN CHINA AND JAPAN IN ASIA:How to Build the Future from the Past?
- Guy Faure(CNRS, France)
This book is a study of ties between China and Japan and their Asian counterparts. It does not therefore directly treat bilateral relations between these powers, as these already constitute the subject of many other studies. A lengthy perspective has been taken into account in order to recall past legacies, some of which are still painfully contentious, and to record evolutions in attitudes and strategies vis-Ã -vis Asian countries.

"A dusty road stretches into the distance like a pencil line across the arid landscape. Lions, rhino, and buffalo roam the plains on either side. But I haven't come to Kenya to spot wildlife. I've come to run."
Whether running is your recreation, your religion, or just a spectator sport, Adharanand Finn's incredible journey to the elite training camps of Kenya will captivate and inspire you. Part travelogue, part memoir, this mesmerizing quest to uncover the secrets of the world's greatest runners - and put them to the test - combines practical advice, a fresh look at barefoot running, and hard-won spiritual insights.
As a boy growing up in the English countryside, Adharanand Finn was a natural runner. While other kids struggled, he breezed through schoolyard races, imagining he was one of his heroes: the Kenyan long-distance runners exploding into prominence as Olympic and world champions. But as he grew up, pursued a career in journalism, married and had children, those childhood dreams slipped away - until suddenly, in his mid-thirties, Finn realized he might have only one chance left to see how far his talents could take him.
Uprooting his family of five, including three small children, Finn traveled to Iten, a small, chaotic town in the Rift Valley province of Kenya - a mecca for long-distance runners thanks to its high altitude, endless running paths, and some of the top training schools in the world. Finn would run side by side with Olympic champions, young hopefuls, and barefoot schoolchildren... not to mention the exotic - and sometimes dangerous - wildlife for which Kenya is famous.
Here, too, he would meet a cast of colorful characters, including his unflappable guide, Godfrey Kiprotich, a former half marathon champion; Christopher Cheboiboch, one of the fastest men ever to run the New York City Marathon; and Japhet, a poor, bucktoothed boy with unsuspected reservoirs of courage and raw speed. Amid the daily challenges of training and of raising a family abroad, Finn would learn invaluable lessons about running - and about life.
"Equal parts cultural examination, cult-of-running treatise, and poignant memoir, Running with the Kenyans thrives on a variety of levels. Like the skilled distance runner he is, Finn paces this book marvelously and then saves the best for the final kick. This book packs all the pleasure and satisfaction - and none of the ancillary pain - of a long training run." (L. Jon Wertheim, senior editor, Sports Illustrated, and co-author of the New York Times best seller Scorecasting)
"Not everyone gets to heaven in their lifetime. Finn tried to run there, and succeeded. Running with the Kenyans is a great read." (Bernd Heinrich, author of Why We Run)
"If you want to know the secrets of Kenyan runners, and have a rollicking adventure along the way, join Finn in his fascinating tale of what it is to go stride for stride with the fastest people on Earth." (Neal Bascomb, author of The Perfect Mile)

Thrill of Victory Comes with Terror, Too
As the Olympic Games draw to a close, it's more clear than ever that winter sports are not merely exhilarating, but dangerous. From freestyle skiing to speed skating, athletes are on the edge. Luger Tony Benshoof and figure skater Evan Lysacek tell Tom Goldman how they feel about the risks.
DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host:
Before the Winter Olympics are over, we want to pay homage to the heart stopping quality of these games. More than any international athletic event, the Winter Olympics bring together sports that are both exhilarating and terrifying. NPR's Tom Goldman spoke with some athletes about the risky business of competing on snow and ice.
TOM GOLDMAN reporting:
In the moments before they compete, Winter Olympians usually go down a final checklist: stay relaxed, stay focused, don't die. Okay, few really think that, but they'd have good cause. Go down the list of Winter sports and you see the potential for death, severe injury, dangerous exhaustion. From biathlon, severely fatigued people carrying guns, to speed skating, sharp blades and hard ice, to aerials free style skiing where athletes on skis shoot up a ramp, rise into the air, twist and somersault and then come down, which can be tricky. Here's part of a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation telecast from the aerial's competition at these Olympics.
Unidentified Woman: If they land hard, they can either bite through they're tongue or they can get a concussion if they hit hard enough and mouth guards help to prevent that. Interestingly, though, the Chinese do not wear mouth guards and one of their athletes did bite through her tongue earlier on this week in training.
Mr. TONY BENSHOFF (U.S. Olympic Team, Luge): Free style aerials, I couldn't be paid to do that.
GOLDMAN: Tony Benshoff of the U.S. finished fourth in the men's Olympic luge competition.
BENSHOFF: I can hardly do a back flip off of a diving board into a pool, I mean, let alone strap skis on my body and do triples at sixty feet in the air. I mean, that's, I would absolutely kill myself. I might as well just jump off a bridge.
GOLDMAN: The ironic things is, may would say jumping off a bridge is exactly what Tony Benshoff does for a living, although he's on his back. He rockets down an icy luge track at 90 miles per hour and one can imagine all of the potential hazards. Benshoff has been relatively lucky. He's had some fractured bones, a dislocated finger, but nothing major. Still, he has his moments at the beginning of races when he thinks, this is crazy, I could get hurt.
BENSHOFF: But I also think, I've been doing this for a long time, I'm one of the best in the world, and you have to have confidence in your ability, and I think that's what makes a lot of athletes continue to do what they do is they just have that capacity to say I am good enough to do this safely.
GOLDMAN: That's the practical approach to risk: relying on skills and many years of training. But also, there's a courage, a crazy courage, some would say, unique to Winter Olympians. Here's American figure skater Evan Lysacek.
Mr. EVAN LYSACEK (U.S. Olympic Team, Figure Skating): I see that same thing with the guys waiting to go off the ski jump is they sit there and they sit there and then there's just a second and a look comes over them and they're ready to go and they know that, no matter what, they're going to land on their feet and they're gonna fly far enough to make it. I think that we all just have this certain level of fearlessness where you say, you know, I'm doing it, I'm going down that hill.
GOLDMAN: In his sport, Lysacek leaps into the air and lands on a blade a quarter of an inch thick. Or tries to land. He's had concussions, a debilitating stress fracture in his hip, sprains, dislocations. But his fearlessness ends when he considers the top of a downhill ski run.
Mr. LYSACEK: We'd sit down on our butt and start crying on top and say someone get me down from here. But they point their skis straight down and go for it.
GOLDMAN: The danger in Winter Olympic sports pretty much ends at the curling venue. That's where competitors slide large stones down a sheet of ice. It's a sport that, while not exactly the place for thrill seekers, still can get participants riled up. Check out the Canadian men's team, in a match here at the games.

Unidentified man #1: Should be five.
Unidentified man #2: Seven!

Unidentified man #1: Wow, wow, don't touch it, don't touch it.
Unidentified man #3: We're bouncing, bouncing, bouncing.
Unidentified man #1: Don't touch it. No, no, no, no.
GOLDMAN: American curler Maureen Brunt acknowledges no on in her sport is going to get badly hurt.
Ms. MAUREEN BRUNT (U.S. Olympic Team, Curling): But Curling just is as physically demanding. Where you're not only out there but you're sweeping pretty hard most of the time and it's two and a half hours long. Not to mention the mental parts, where your brain gets very tired, too.
GOLDMAN: Nice try, Maureen, but really, it's not necessary. After two weeks of down-hillers and ski-jumpers and aerialists risking life and limb, the Winter Olympics have needed a nice, safe place to go.

As expected, Senate turns back four gun control measures
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate extended its long-running stalemate over firearms on Monday, voting to reject four gun control measures eight days after the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.
Georgia Sens. Johnny Isakson and David Perdue voted with the majority of their Republican colleagues on the proposals. The two parties had offered competing measures aimed at amending the country's background check system and blocking suspected terrorists from obtaining firearms.
The votes on the four bills were essentially repeats of those taken in previous years, and as expected all four provisions failed to get the 60 votes needed to advance.
Monday's votes put the Senate in roughly the same political spot it was in before the June 12 massacre in Orlando, which left 49 dead and 53 wounded. The parties are still wildly divided over gun control — the last major law changing firearms laws was signed in 2007 after the massacre at Virginia Tech — and multiple efforts to bridge the bipartisan divide have fallen flat since then.
A small group of senators led by Maine Republican Susan Collins is currently trying to craft a compromise measure that would block people on the government's no-fly list from buying guns. The proposal is narrower than one of the Democratic proposals senators rejected this evening that targeted people on the federal terror watch list.
"While we should absolutely work to stop terrorists from obtaining deadly weapons, it is regrettable that Democrats have chosen to make this debate political by focusing solely on guns and refusing to address the critical need to fight terrorism at home and abroad," said Amanda Maddox, Isakson's spokeswoman. "We need to give the FBI and the counter terrorism community the support, resources and intelligence-gathering tools necessary to counter ISIL's efforts to radicalize and inspire attacks on American soil."
As senators debated the bills on Monday, Republicans said Democrats were focusing on the wrong issue by pushing gun measures and instead highlighted the need for the U.S. to bolster its counterterrorism efforts against the Islamic State.
The authors of Monday's proposals are "approaching this serious topic in a serious, and constitutional, way," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a speech earlier in the day. "They also understand that ultimately the most important way to prevent more terrorist tragedies at home is by defeating terrorism overseas."
Democrats, meanwhile, said the GOP was adhering more to the wishes of the National Rifle Association than to those of their constituents.
"Senate Republicans should be embarrassed. But they're not, because the NRA is happy," Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in a speech on the Senate floor earlier Monday.

How the Cost of the Uninsured is Imposed on Businesses
March 6, 2003
Businesses have long considered people lacking health insurance a problem for the government to solve. Lately, however, some executives have realized that the 41 million Americans who lack health insurance cost them money -- since doctors and hospitals raise rates on covered patients to recoup losses imposed by those not covered.
- Employers and managed care companies paid $1.5 billion to $3 billion through higher rates to cover part of the $24 billion hospitals spent caring for patients who could not pay their bills in 2001, according to researchers at the Urban Institute.
- In addition, federal taxes on employers help pay for programs that cover the greatest share of hospital costs for the uninsured.
- Analysts at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimate that while government programs pay 65 to 80 cents for every dollar of hospital care, providers charge employers $1.15 or $1.25 per dollar of employees' care to make up the difference.
- Another expensive headache for employers are state laws mandating treatments for certain kinds of illnesses, as well as the amount of time patients are entitled to hospital care.
As one executive put it: "If we are going to cover everybody, we can't cover everything."

New Theme: Musil
I created a new Theme for WordPress 2.0 called Musil. Musil is currently in beta but stable. Musil is called beta, because it does not have all the features it should have when it's ready. You can see it on http://leflo.de and get advanced information and the download link under http://leflo.de/2006/02/15/new-theme-musil/.
Musil has following features:
* Content Negotiation (i.e. multi language ready). Currently supported are English and German, but one can simply translate it using gettext
* Easily extendable theme framework
* Easy to understand and easy to customise
* Optimised directory structure
* Plugin-like functions (alphabetically ordered taglist in single post view, etc.)
* The perfect 404 (from A List Apart) made in PHP
It would be nice to get a bit feedback. Thanks.

With the multiplayer reveal for the new Call of Duty on the immediate horizon, it seems like the CoD hype train might finally start to get rolling.
I doubt it. What Destiny has going for it is that it's a new IP. The hype between the COD titles have dwindled down over the years.
I'll probably like Advanced Warfare better because the campaign and multiplayer is 60fps and looks to innovate without changing the formula to much. Also the story looks great so far.
Destiny multiplayer was lackluster to me and being 30fps didn't help. Don't get me wrong Destiny seems like a good game but not amazing like it's made out to be. It's just over hyped IMO.
Only if destiny is too short/quick to complete. I question the replayability of destiny and it's pvp. I just have this feeling that everyone is going to buy destiny, finish in a weekend and that is it. Just doesn't seem to be enough to explore in the worlds. Put my fears to rest bungie! I believe that wizards do come from the moon!
I think the question is will Destiny steal some of COD's light. As much as people scoff at COD it is a beast among many hardcore gamers and casuals alike.

Weddings are about love and emotions and sharing in a wonderful experience with your family. BUT, I cannot urge you all enough to laugh. A lot. Out loud. To yourself. With friends and family. Just laugh. And soak in every ounce of your wedding day.

So I know the whole point of this was to inspire laughter, but it's my wedding week so of *course* I cried instead. Sigh…Saturday I will be a mess.
Josh's family is hilarious and all we do is laugh when we get together. He has an aunt who has the most infectious laugh. It's literally contagious. I can't wait to hear it and so many others on my wedding day 🙂

Great point Brit! Laughing and enjoying yourself is so important for the wedding day! You can't be too focused on the small stuff or else you'll miss all the laughs! That's what us planners are for! 🙂

The bride's face in the first shot is PRICELESS!

Oh how true that is! I hope I am able to see pics of us laughing on our wedding day, because honestly, I don't remember half of what went on that day. 🙁

Does the name Theia ring a bell?
If you haven't heard of Theia, but you love listening to artists like Lorde and Broods, then you should open Spotify and listen to her singles Roam and Champagne Supernova. STAT.
She's a seriously talented Kiwi singer but aside from sounding awesome, all three musos share a similar gift; the power to draw in a large audience in a matter of weeks.
The Christchurch singer/songwriter, formally known as Plum, dropped her first single in August 2016 and in little more than three months the single clocked up 3 million plays on Spotify! Insane, right?!
The track went on to become one of the biggest breakout hits by a Kiwi artist that year and helped solidify Theia as an up-and-comer who's more than ready to make her mark on the music scene.
We're certain Thiea's career will continue to grow like crazy, especially because of her infectious personality; this girl is just as addictive and energetic as her music.
Miss FQ's resident music guru, Jesse Burt caught up with Theia last week to find out more about the girl behind the music. Check it out in the video above.

foam shape
Smooth Finish
putty knife or spatula
gray paint
optional: gold paint, or other accent color
Start by spreading a layer of Smooth Finish over the foam using a flat tool like a spatula, or a putty knife. Don't worry about getting it completely smooth - the texture and "drag marks" will make it look more like concrete later.
When it's totally dry, sand lightly. Then cover with gray paint. If found that DecoArt "Zinc" and "Dolphin" slightly mixed worked great together.
It created some natural looking lighter and darker spots in a few places.
Let the gray paint dry completely and if you want, tape off a section or a stripe and paint it another color. I when with a metallic gold.
Then I used it to hold these fun swirled lollipops for St. Patrick's Day by pushing the sticks down into the top of the block. What would you use some faux concrete for?
More Foam projects made with Smooth Finish:
|Halloween Door Sign
|Foam Wood Sign
|Foam Floral Monogram
|Glitter Trees

I'll be honest here. I've never really had a thing for Skream remixes. His In For The Kill remix was brilliant because it was so simple, but that's really how he does every remix. I'm not saying simple is necessarily a bad thing, just that it can only get you so far. Night By Night and In For The Kill are good examples (at least for me) of a simple remixes that work well. His other stuff *cough*Hold The Line*cough* not so much.

Know what you mean about his simplistic style; can be a bit hit and miss.
This remix should go down quite well on the dance floor though.
Not sure how the aggressive dubstep fans are going to take it.

im thinking this remix is too simple. u know i could have whipped this up in abelton in like half an hour if i had the lyrics. it just bothers me that such little work can count as a legit remix.
Nate October 8, 2009 at 9:30 am
If you think this is simple you should hear his Hold The Line remix. It would probably take you around 5 minutes to make with ableton.
MacGregor October 8, 2009 at 10:28 am
i really want to see somebody remake the hold the line in ableton, its probably one of my top tracks this year. brilliant idea imo, and HE did it, not somebody who could just do it in ableton after him.

i'm with mac. hold the line is huuuuuuugesauce. hear it dropped properly in a set on some proper speakers and you'll see why
