Let's start with the obvious: Terrell Owens is a fool.
Blowing up locker rooms is second nature to Owens, so it was only a matter of time before there was carnage in Dallas.
But here's the real question: Why hasn't anyone in the Dallas locker room slapped the Sharpie out of him?
One thing T.O. does better than anyone is expose the real truth about an organization. His reported jealousy of Tony Romo's relationship with friend and leading receiver Jason Witten proves the Cowboys have a weak locker room; a franchise quarterback who's too nice; and pandering, paralyzed, ineffective management.
There is one commonality when T.O. begins to mount a coup. It seems no one ever has the gumption to step up, grab T.O and say "Not here, not now, not ever."
I'm not advocating violence, of course. I'm advocating leadership and good old-fashioned locker-room policing, which is usually a key component of most championship-caliber teams.
In strong locker rooms, certain things just aren't permitted, and it's clear that Dallas' locker room couldn't withstand T.O.'s latest assault because not one player seems willing to put an end to T.O.'s stupidity.
I understand Romo is trying to be professional and just let T.O. self-destruct, but as the Cowboys' franchise guy, it's on him to approach T.O. man-to-man and work this out. Several Cowboys have talked about trying to bring T.O. and Romo together, but isn't that Romo's job?
At the very least, Romo needs to say this to his troublesome receiver: "I may not be the best quarterback in the league, but it's a lot harder to find one of me than one of you. Look at my age. Look at my contract. I will outlast you in Dallas. So let's just cut the (expletive), win some games and break some records."

Tony and T.O., back in happier times.
I'm not blaming Romo, but I'm not convinced he can win important games in Dallas as long as T.O. is his primary receiver. Romo already has a deserved reputation for not being able to deliver in December and January, and now he has the added pressure of trying to make T.O. happy on every single play. What quarterback could win under those circumstances? If I were Romo, I'd be diagramming secret plays with Witten, too.
Also, T.O.'s history strongly suggests Romo's passive-aggressive approach isn't going to work. Owens is the NFL version of Effie White from "Dreamgirls," who in the movie was a self-absorbed diva whose constant complaints eventually got her booted out of her singing group.
It takes strong personalities, great leadership and assured people to deal with the Effies and T.O.s of the world. T.O. would have never survived on those dynamic Cowboys teams of the 1990s. Michael Irvin was the locker-room sheriff, and he made sure a certain level of commitment and togetherness existed among all the players. Certainly, Irvin had his problems off the field, but no one ever doubted his work ethic and discipline for the game. He expected other players to follow his lead, and he never would have let anyone create a problem for Troy Aikman.
T.O. could never have pulled this in New England. Before he had to answer to Bill Belichick, he would have had to answer to Tom Brady, Tedy Bruschi, Rodney Harrison or any of the team's other strong leaders. There's a reason the Patriots haven't had a single problem from Randy Moss even though he's having a down season.
Strong leadership is why the Giants were never sunk by Jeremy Shockey, and even though they experienced a setback against the Eagles, I would be stunned if Plaxico Burress' legal troubles derail their quest for another Super Bowl.
T.O. is at his worst in locker rooms that are ripe for the picking. In San Francisco, T.O. was able to capitalize on the players' secret belief that coach Steve Mariucci didn't have the killer instinct necessary to make the 49ers a championship team.
In Philadelphia, T.O. used the petty jealousies of some players to undermine Donovan McNabb. He manipulated those who resented McNabb for his big contract and close relationship with management, starting a civil war that ultimately destroyed the Eagles' season.
Now T.O. is up to his same old tricks in Dallas. It wasn't surprising that Patrick Crayton and Roy Williams aligned with him to complain about Romo's favoring Witten, even though Owens has been targeted more than any other receiver in the Cowboys' offense.
I'm sure T.O.'s game plan wasn't a hard sell to Crayton and Williams. Crayton mostly was a bust as a secondary option and likely was looking to blame someone else for his shortcomings, and Williams whined in Detroit that Calvin Johnson was getting more balls, so this uprising was right up his alley.
T.O. will never change. But if the Cowboys insist on keeping him, they must change how they do things. As of now, Jerry Jones is that father who would rather be his child's friend than his parent. Wade Phillips is the oblivious grandparent who green-lights everything. The coaching staff is made up of aunts and uncles with no real power or say-so, and this entire melodrama is just a broke version of "Mean Girls." But trust me, things won't end that well.

What Do You Know Of Ys?
(i) "Wind roared and whistled." (Roma Mater, p. 58)
Wind is a powerful symbol of gods and magic. Later, when a ship's captain realizes that Gratillonius is "pagan" and ejects him from his cabin:
"The centurion did not argue, but rose and went forth onto the deck, into the wind." (p. 66)
(ii) "Clouds were appearing over the horizon."
Clouds appear when the mysterious "Veiled" Ys is mentioned.
(iii) "Their shadows raced across winter-grey hills and the few springtime-wet croplands."
Shadows, winter, greyness and only a hint of spring.
(iv) "A solitary willow nearby lashed its withes around."
Expressive enough.
(v) "At their removes, the manor house and the soldiers' camp looked very small."
Civilization suddenly seems small.
(vi) "The hawk wheeled scornful overhead."
In fact, nature scorns it. Ysan magic controls nature and the Witches send their souls forth as birds.
(vii) "Lines deepened in Marcus' brow and beside his mouth."
At last, Marcus responds but at first non-verbally. Then:
"'I was never there myself,' he said."
We are still not told anything! At last we learn that:
he has spoken with three or four captains, each of whom had called there only once;
the Ysans travel and trade but do not receive traders at their city;
the city is wonderful, ''...of the hundred towers...'" (p. 58);
but there is always "'...an otherness.'" (ibid.)

Types of Mergers and Acquisitions
Inside the world of finance, mergers and acquisitions (called M&A) are a large, very important process. These kinds of transactions sometimes involve hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions. These actions are such a big part of business, that investment banks often have departments just for managing strategies and guidelines for bringing two companies together. Here we have a basic look at these unions which so very often find their way into news headlines in Ireland.
Although lumped together, there is a distinction between mergers and acquisitions. Quite simply, when one company takes over another an acquisition is completed. Alternatively, when two companies, usually of the same size, decide to combine organizations and proceed as an entirely new company then a merger has been performed. In this case both companies' stock disappears and stock in the new company's name is issued.
For businesses, the idea behind acquisitions and mergers is that the joining the two companies will have more value than when they are separate. Both parties hope to become enhanced by combining resources after the union. For example, costs can be cut with staff reductions. Many times after mergers or acquisitions, there is an overlap in jobs throughout the different departments, such as accounting.
There are other ways to reach business synergy. This may include economics of scale. What does this mean? Well, the new, now bigger, company will most likely have greater purchasing power than the two old, smaller companies. This means the company can save on product parts, which means the cost of product production goes down. A business union may also be able to increase the efficiency of research and development, product visibility and market growth.
There are several types of mergers. Among the most common is the horizontal merger. This is where two companies selling the same product to the same market, in direct competition with each other, decide to come together.
Another type is called vertical merging. This is when two companies that have entirely different products combine efforts to create a new product altogether. For example, if an ice cream cone manufacturer and an ice cream manufacturer joined together to create an ice cream novelty item, that would be a vertical merger.
When buying a business, one can either buy it stock or its assets. This depends on which type of business it is. If it is a corporation then buying the stock is the way to go. Generally, those who want to dispose of their business or part of it prefer to sell the stock. This is unlike those who would want to get their hands on other business, this group prefers buying assets.
Depending on your needs, you can either go one way or the other. This is why a special team should be formed to handle the takeover. One of the most complicated issues to handle is tax. If you can find away of successfully navigating a merger or an acquisition with minimal tax returns, take it.
Such a tax reduction is only possible if you buy stock and not assets. In asset buying, you can pick and choose what you want and leave out the undesirables. This is not the case with stock buying. Asset buying, therefore, gives you the option of staying away from liabilities that might take your business down.
There are some instances, however, where it is advisable to purchase the stock rather than the assets. One of the instances is when there is an existing contract that you can only enjoy if you do so. This you can only know if you engage in due diligence when considering your acquisition.
There are two methods of purchasing the desired stock. You can directly buy them from shareholders offering them; alternatively, you can merge your business with the offering one. In either case, you have to be careful not to inherit a collapsing business regime. In rare cases, however, you can inherit a collapsing regime but engineer a complete turnaround.
If you want to unite with another business however, you have to be overly careful. This is because if you merge, your business as well as the other one is swallowed up and one company is formed. Mergers are governed by state laws and every bit should be followed to the letter.
The world of mergers and acquisitions is wide and sometimes pretty complex. They might be hostile or they may be cooperative. They might involve enormous cash purchases or stock swaps. They may ultimately boost the viability of the company. Yet if mismanaged, a merger or acquisition may bring about a company's decline.

You could try making some little cards that have numbers on them (the actual digits) and then the correct number of circles to match that number and have her put objects on each circle. Then she could actually physically see what is bigger and smaller.
You could also just make cards that have the right number of stickers for the digit shown. The visual on a larger vs. smaller group might help her.
Practising finding before and after numbers can help too-- so if you were to ask her what the before number for 4 is, she would say 3, and the after number would be 5.
I'll keep thinking on it, but those are my ideas off the top of my head.

"Normal" labor
In the vastly varied range of birth experiences I know normal is hardly a word that can be used. But being a FTM it is all the same to me - I know anything is possible. That being said, I do want to labor at home as long as I can, but I don't want to put my baby in danger. What is the opposite of normal in pre-labor or labor? What would be considered bad things to see/ experience? Things to call about or seek medical assistance with, indicators that something may be wrong?
Re: "Normal" labor
a lot of blood or a greenish tint to your amniotic fluid if your water breaks
running a fever
SEVERE pain that does not go away when a contraction is over or contractions that last an extreme amount of time with no breaks
Feeling "something" in the birth canal. You should only feel pressure, if you feel a "thing" it could be a foot or umbilical cord
Re: "Normal" labor
Ditto to everything Kallisa said. But also, follow your intuition. From what I have gathered, you are very in-tune with your body. Trust yourself. If something doesn't seem right or just seems "off", go with it, don't ignore it.

text: This is copied from my blog, which you can link to in my signature. It has the pics and all so far. But, I will add here as I can- gotta get everything uploaded to photobucket for that I think. We are going May 22-29th, so I started to record all the info in my blog! OK, here we are: Me, Brandi- I'm 34 and a Kindergarten teacher. It's my first year teaching after a long career in banking. I love it and love my students. It's very hard where I work, but I know that I am making a difference, which is what matters most, right? DH, Paul- he's 35 and is a passionate LSU fan. He also loves Jimmy Buffet, as do I and our son, Alex. More on him later. Anyway, Paul is a purchaser at a food company. His hours stink and and he works way too many, plus it's an hour away and his benefits stink! But, he has learned a lot and really likes his job, so oh well. DS, Alex- he is 7. Alex is funny and smart, I just adore him. He's reading this as I type, so I better say all of that up there He's in the 2nd grade and does pretty well in school. This is his first year in an advanced class, so his young age compared to the other students is starting to show. But, he is so smart, so I know he'll get it together! He has been to Disney 3 times. The last time was in October of 2007 and we actually went to Universal. However, we did go to MNSSHP one night, so we got to visit the Magic Kingdom once on that trip. So, by the time we go, it will have been almost 4 years since our last time to be there. He's super excited, but is scared of "big" rides, so i have to figure out how to get him to try some. DS, Nathan- he is almost 17 months. He's funny and sweet. He just got tubes in and adenoids out a few weeks ago. It has made a big difference and he's much happier. This will be his first trip to Disney World! I know he'll especially love the parades because he watched the Thanksgiving one yesterday and loved it! So, we are going at the end of May and I am super excited and ready! We'll be staying at the Animal Kingdom Villas- a 1 bedroom. If you are not familiar with DVC, our room will be like a condo, with a complete kitchen and laundry room, which is perfect for us! I recently made our ADRs and realize that maybe we won't make them all, but that's OK. I am starting to wonder our Nathan will do and how we will tour accordingly. He does nap daily of course, but it varies in time. At home, it's usually from 10-12-ish. Sometimes as early as 9! And at times, as late as 1 or 2! At daycare, it's from 11-1 daily. I try to keep him on that at home, but he's usually falling asleep before then. So, we will see how he does when the trip comes around- that's still 6 months away, which is huge for a baby boy. We did go recently to the New Orleans zoo and I was impressed with how great he did. He stayed up for a while and didn't get too fussy. I'm hoping we'll be able to eat our sit-down lunches in the parks, another ride or two, then head back to the resort. Then, we can have dinner after nap and go back to the parks. We'll see..

Bank notes, benches and a national holiday: Fans random tributes to celebs after death
CHEFS created an entire menu inspired by hip hop legend Notorious B.I.G to mark the 18th anniversary of his death today…so we compiled a list of some more of the wackiest celeb tributes.
Eat like Biggie
Chris Jaeckle and Dale Talde created the three-course meal tonight honouring the memory of rapper Christopher George Latore Wallace, better known as the Notorious B.I.G or Biggie Smalls.
Unfortunately, it was only available in the US – at $85 a pop (around £56).
Highlights from the menu – inspired by Biggie's lyrics – included "V8 juice drinkin, Slimfast blendin'" or spiced tomato juice and "Escargot my car go 160 swiftly, wreck it buy a new one, crew run run your crew run run" also known as butter poached escargot, salsa verde, and parsley root puree.
Party with Marley
Even in death, Bob Marley can throw one heck of party.
In 1991, the Jamaican government officially declared the reggae singer's birthday on February 6 a national holiday.
Since then thousands of fans have gathered for an annual music festival near his grave just a few feet from his childhood home.
There is even a reggae-themed gift shop and stage nearby.
Free The Weatherfield One
When Corrie legend Anne Kirkbride, 60, died in January, fans rushed to snap up t-shirts depicting one of her all-time iconic soap story lines.
Anne played Ken Barlow's wife Deirdre – one of the ITV soap's most loved characters – on the Street for 42 years.
Fans proudly wore t-shirts with the slogan "Free The Weatherfield One" in tribute – a nod to Deirdre's stint in jail for mortgage and credit card fraud while her conman lover Jon Lindsay walked free.
Your move chief
Robin Williams' death was followed by an outpouring of love for the actor and comedian from around the world.
The now iconic "Good Will Hunting" bench in Boston became a permanent tribute to the late actor after his death, with fans quoting his memorable line "Sorry guys, I went to see about a girl" beneath it.
His daughter Zelda made a more permanent mark – she got a tattoo of a hummingbird because it reminds her of her dad.
"Hummingbirds are fun and flighty and strange. It's hard to keep them in one place and Dad was a bit like that," she said.
Robin Williams' Fans Spontaneously Turned The "Good Will Hunting" Bench Into A Memorial pic.twitter.com/5KvRHaDmhf— Mtv poleca (@MtvPoleca) December 12, 2014
Strawberry Fields Forever
There are many tributes to John Lennon around the world, but few are as iconic as New York's Strawberry Fields memorial.
After the legendary Beatle was shot dead in 1980, a city councillor designated John and his wife Yoko Ono's favourite spot in Central Park as Strawberry Fields.
Named after the title of the Beatles' song "Strawberry Fields Forever" the teardrop shaped region was re-landscaped by the Central Park Conservancy with the help of landscape architect Bruce Kelley and a generous $1 million donation from Yoko Ono to pay tribute to the late musician and activist.
Every year on October 9, Lennon's birthday, fans from across the globe flock to Strawberry Fields to pay homage to his legacy.
Sit your Bottom on this
When British comedy legend Rick Mayall died in 2014, a petition signed by 7,000 fans to reinstate a roadside bench became the perfect tribute to the Bottom actor.
Why was the bench so important? Well it featured in the opening credits of the BBC sitcom set in Hammersmith, London.
Mayall said shortly before he died in June that he was sad to see the bench had been removed.
After an online campaign, Hammersmith Council replaced it with the inscription "In Memory of The Man, The Myth, The Legend".
Live long and prosper
Star Trek fans found a novel way to pay tribute to their hero Leonard Nimoy who died last month.
Canadians joined the craze of "Spocking" by drawing Mr Spock's famous slanted eyebrows and pointed ears on top of the original image of former Canadian Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier on $5 bills.

Jaytee Jet leads Irish assault on Wimbledon
Glancing through the latest ante-post betting on the William Hill English Derby, the Irish domination of the betting lists is hugely significant.
The top two in the betting are the Irish pair Jaytee Jet, now the clear 14/1 first choice, and Droopys Roddick, which is best priced 16/1.
But there is further Irish influence in the top eight, with reigning Irish Derby champion Ballymac Matt at 25/1 and both Lenson Panda and Droopys Latina at a biggest price of 33/1.
On the home front, the BIF Produce Stakes at Clonmel is the top event and all the talk this week has concerned that sensational 28.87 run from Clares Rocket on Sunday.
He is a best-price 2/1 to win the classic while his kennel companion and previous track record holder Jo Jo Fantasy is at 4/1. The only other dogs in single figures are Escapism at 7/1 and Slipalong Champ at 8/1.
But if Clares Rocket continues performing to the same level as Sunday night, then the only question is what will finish second behind him in the final?
We are now into the 'major season' in Irish greyhound racing. Entries will close next Tuesday for the Sporting Press Irish Oaks and all the signs are that it is going to be a fabulous competition with a high-class team of females lighting up our tracks.
Graham Holland will have a huge hand with his team including six bitches which contested last weekend's Oaks finals at Shelbourne and Limerick.
He also has Ballydoyle Honey coming back from season to defend her title. She moved satisfactorily in her trial and, while no definite decision has yet been announced, it is pretty safe to assume that she will be in the first round entry.
Many young stars have been introduced to the game over the years in the Red Mills Champion Unraced at Kilkenny and this year's competition starts on Friday night. The draw will be made this morning and a full entry of 48 has been achieved.
The talking dog has been Tony Gould's Holycross Super, which is making a belated racing debut as a July '13 whelp. He clocked 28.87 in a trial around Kilkenny and a 15.96 at Clonmel.

2 week trip
Palawan Travel Blog› entry 3 of 4 › view all entries
After I left my job in Boracay I decided I needed to see a little bit more of the philippines so I went to Palawan. Palawan is so big and you have to take buses or vans to get around so it took a long time to get form point a to point b. Since I only had 2 weeks I started in Puerto Prinecsa then El Nido, TayTay, Pt Barton and then back to Puerto.
I wanted to go the cheap way from Boracay to Palawan so I took a cargo boat. To begin my trip I had to take a boat from Borcay to Caticlan then a 6 hour van to Iloilo. In Iloilo I got on the cargo ship, I thought I would be getting a private room with a bath....oh no. The ship is a real cargo ship!! There were 3 different levels- general public inside, general pblic outside and tourist area wish had on about 40 beds and AC. Not being prepared for this I froze my ass off at night. It was cots with out pillows or blankets but I found out later that you could rent pillows and blankets. I was happy I had my bathsuit wrap with me and my travel pillow so I could use that at night when it was freezing inthe tourist section.
The ship took 2 nights and 1 day to get to Puerto Princesa. On the day journey we stoped in Cujo to drop off cargo so we had about 6 hours to walk around. I walked the city and then meet this wonderful lady her drove me around in her tricycle- for free- just to point out areas of the island. She was so kind and invited me to stay with her and her family for the night but I had already book the ship to go to Puerto.
When I arrived in Pureto I stayed at a cheap hostel-Bundel Inn, it was only 400 pecos for a fan room and it was located close to the area with things to do. The next day I took a van to El Nido. What a beautiful place and clean!! I stayed at Og's guest house. The guest house was right on the water and close to the middle of town. OK it is El; Nido..everything is close.
I went to a few cool places but the best was Lonesome bar. The wall were all red so I had to go in. The people were so friendly and I sat and talked to Giselle (the manager for quite a while) After i went to a local disco adn meet a ladyboy, had a great time with her/him. The next night ladyboy pulled me around town and took me to karokee where she/he sang for me....WOW what an amazing voice!

How many do you think I would need to use, what did you use to power it? I was thinking of getting the 1000 watt amp from ButtKicker possibly two of the LFEs or just the Advanced and putting one at either end. Would it be enough or would the corner of the couch be totally dead? I want it to be even so everyone can have the crap scared out of them

The agent of Benfica left-back Joan Capdevila has revealed Juventus are one of the sides interested in his client.
The Spain international joined the Portuguese club from Villarreal in the summer on a free transfer, but, despite his international credentials, he has found himself behind Emerson in the pecking order.
The defender's situation has caught the attention of several clubs across Europe, with Napoli and Juventus believed to be monitoring the 33-year-old's case.
And now, Capdevila's agent has revealed he has several offers tabled, including one from the Turin-based outfit.
"Capdevila has alternatives to play, but I cannot analyse them because I have to speak to Benfica first," Horacio Gaggioli told Radio Renascenca.
"I will talk to Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira about Capdevila when possible, which should happen next week.
"He joined the club to play, if he has not been playing, then we have to do something. Juventus and other teams could be solutions."

Bollywood Films - TV Channels last saviour?
Zee TV bought telecast rights for a number of new movies, Star Gold decided to shed its classic movie image and went contamporary, and now it is the turn of Sony Entertainment Television (SET). It has acquired ten Hindi feature films including Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, for which it is rumoured to have paid to the tune of Rs six crore. Other movies in the kitty include Deewangee, Awara Pagal Deewana, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, Na Tum Jano Na Hum, Chor Machaye Shor, Maan and Beta. The channel also plans to buy rights for more movies in future.
SET plans to premiere Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham on New Years eve. However, the channel spokespersons refused to divulge any further details, as the schedule of the movies has not yet been finalised.
Zee, however, seems unfazed by Sony's recent acquisitions. ORG MARG recently conducted a study for the channel and the results, according to the channel, are pretty positive. Says Apoorva Purohit, President ZEE TV, "Movies are working well for us. Recently we had commissioned ORG MARG to conduct a study. The survey was conducted in 1800 households and 40% of them have been watching movies on ZEE, which, I think, is a good number". With Sony all set to show a number of good movies, is ZEE not worried? She says, "We would not lose first mover advantage, and our strategy is not just movies. Our Sunday programming is doing extremely well, GRPS have picked up on Sundays. Viewers are coming to us on Sundays and staying to watch the serials on all three days. And to add to it, we are getting good feedback from our advertisers"
And what does she has to say on very steeply priced movies, do they prove to be good business preposition? Says Purohit, "Certain movies are bound to be out priced - we might not look at such movies. We have decided to provide wholesome entertainment to our viewers, plus good value to advertisers."
Let's move onto media fraternity. What do they think of channels' increasing addiction with Bollywood? Would the movies become the major channel drivers with original programming taking a back seat. "Says Meenakshi Madhwani, CEO and Regional Director - Asia Pacific, Carat, "Movies have always played an important role for all channels. When Star introduced Hindi programming, it used a slew of movies. Movies are an instant fix. However, having said, that movies drive viewership on a channel, they do not build it, hence it is very important to have good programming on the channel."
And according to Niloufer Kapadia, Chair Person, Everest Integrated Communication, "Channels need to come up with strategies to increase viewership. All the channels look stereotyped these days. Zee used movies as a differentiator successfully. Others are jumping on the bandwagon now. The strategy seems to be currently working, but how many good movies can you get - that too with every channel showing an interest? Unlike abroad, in India movies are hardly made specifically for television." She adds, "Movies would boost viewership to an extent, but the viewers have become discerning. Star Plus is doing so well with its powerful content, without too much dependence on Bollywood movies."
Media fraternity agrees that movies can pay off in terms of building viewership if they are used strategically, or else they would just remain 'attractive business prepositions' as a stand alone programme on the channel, without really building the channel viewership. Says Madhwani, "We will have to wait and watch if Sony finds an innovative way to use movies. ZEE did it by bringing them to Thursday - everybody was showing movies on weekends. They have succeeded in increasing viewer share for other programmes as well. They used it strategically and in a very innovative way." "However", says Madhwani, "From an advertiser point of view there would be an equal focus on movies and non-movie programmes. Movies are a long viewing experience and hence your presence has to be much stronger to make it felt. While it is not the case with smaller duration programmes."

PICTURED: Prince Harry bags new pal on royal tour
PRINCE Harry knows who to turn to if he needs a royal portrait as he shows off a cartoon of himself.
The royal, 31, was presented with the funny picture by a child on a tour of St Vincent and the Grenadines.
He later pulled faces with Jyasi Junior Nash, two, when visiting a turtle conservation project.
Harry and island dignitaries observed a minute's silence for former Cuban leader Fidel Castro who died aged 90.
The ship the prince is travelling on broke down earlier due to a "technical fault" and may force him to alter plans for the rest of the tour.
"We are looking forward to meeting the people of Grenada tomorrow"Kensington Palace spokesperson
Harry had hoped to enjoy some downtime from his 15-day tour, during a designated travel day, by spending a few hours at an undisclosed location.
But Royal Fleet Auxiliary Wave Knight, a tanker on anti-narcotics and disaster relief duties in the region, developed a problem yesterday which meant it could not leave its St Vincent mooring and head to the next stop, Grenada.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said: "Today, day eight of the tour, was a designated travel day. The journey from St Vincent and the Grenadines to Grenada was due to take six hours and the tour party planned to stop along the way for lunch.
"Due to a technical problem, RFA Wave Knight was unable to leave St Vincent as planned. Prince Harry and the tour party remains in the country and went to a nearby island for a private afternoon ahead of week two.
"Contingency plans are in place and there is no current expectation that the second half of the tour will be impacted by the technical problem with Wave Knight. We are looking forward to meeting the people of Grenada tomorrow."
Harry and his entourage stayed on board RFA Wave Knight until midday today hoping it would be fixed, but to date the ship is still broken down.
If the problem persists Harry will have to change plans and fly to Grenada instead, almost certainly in a chartered aircraft, and book into hotels rather than sleeping on the ship as he has been in recent days.
Instead of stopping at an island out to sea the Prince and his group were taken to a nearby St Vincent outcrop for lunch.
A Royal Navy spokesman said: "RFA Wave Knight experienced a minor technical issue. This has not caused delay to the royal tour, or affected the operational commitments of the ship."

I am not paying much attention to my mail recently if it's not of immediate importance. I live and work in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States, about 40 miles (65 km.) north of Washington, DC. We are in yet another record-setting heat wave. The temperature in the central business district reached 107° F. (42° C.) on July 18. (Normal high temperatures are 87° F. or 31° C.)
A major water main broke in the central business district on July 16, with road closures that may last until the middle of August. Residents in that area may not have water service restored for another week or more. Businesses are closed because they do not have water service. On June 30, an unusual wind and rain storm swept through the region bringing down power lines and leaving more than 1,000,000 people without power. Traffic signals were not working, businesses were closed. Through all of this, mobile telephone and Internet access has been disrupted for various lengths of time.
The Baltimore–Washington area is not the only region affected. The U.S. is suffering under unusually heat and drought. Wild fires have burned across millions of acres of land and destroyed homes and businesses, primarily in the western U.S. Although there is a drought here in the U.S., the U.K. has been affected by unusually heavy rains and floods, in addition to the disruptions to everyday life in and around London from the Olympic Games. Floods in Russia; unusual storms in China; severe rain and strong winds in Australia; very heavy rains in India; unusual hurricane activity in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
I am fortunate and have been relatively unaffected by all this but I have put off WorldVu's next international direct mail marketing campaign. I doubt whether the people affected by any of the above are paying much attention to their mail. Those most severely affected certainly are not and they may not even be receiving mail.
The vacation season in the northern hemisphere and other holidays also make this is less advantageous time to market many products. Ramadan, the month of fasting for Moslems, begins July 20 and ends on August 18. (Dates may vary slightly.) WorldVu's markets have been relatively unaffected by disruptive political events so far but I keep an eye on those, too.
I am hoping for a calm in September – but planning for potential weather or political disruptions. WorldVu's marketing campaign will mail then but we will watch for unusual weather or other events. As always, we will watch response rates by countries and regions. I am budgeting more for a potential remailing into areas where something could have distracted potential buyers.

Three tips for increasing user buy-in for a new ERP
In the midst of various management talks about any new ERP platform including hopes for increasing operational efficiencies; expanding and applying better business analytics; and ultimately creating all kinds of revenue enhancement, the enterprise workforce typically stands against anything other than a continuance of the status quo.
There are a number of psychological reasons for this initial lack of buy-in to a new ERP project, but to get to the point clearly, this article from business improvement consultancy Meliorate offers some key points:
- Misunderstandings about a given change can cause disaffection
- Fear of the unknown is one of the most common reasons for resistance
- The potential of failed competency is real
- If you ask people in an organization to do things in a new way, you are working against 'conventional wisdom
- Not being consulted encourages further workforce resistance
- Poor communication causes disruption
- Failure to articulate benefits and rewards clearly leads to distrust
To overcome these obstacles there are a number of processes ERP project managers can take to increase user buy-in, including:
1. Matching practical experience with systems capabilities
ERP systems exist to help workers, not the other way around. However, many technologists forget or ignore this reality, and instead lean on new processes and features without involving 'how' a particular workforce behaves. Consequently, when it comes to developing requirement and selection tasks, all baseline validations should be based on the experiences of the workforce itself, thereby reducing the chance of buying the wrong ERP product for the wrong workforce.
Use this complete implementation guide to increase ERP buy-in among your workforce and install new software successfully
2. Training like you work
Once you have applied the above caution and your new system is ready for action, all test regimes should apply real-world scenarios. In other words, identify a collection of typically executed work tasks then measure results driven by real work, executed by real workers. This will not only stress-test the new system and increase buy-in for your ERP project, but it will also gain a sense of how quickly a launch can be completed.
3. Using test QA results as a remedial measuring stick
Once your have applied practical workforce scenarios during both the development of selection requirements and training regimes; the last pre-launch step should be final QA testing. In this case you should again apply practical scenarios then measure results delivered by both the old and new systems, in order to define strengths and weaknesses. In the latter case hold the launch until they are refined and/or corrected. If the latter case prevails you should be generally confident that your new system is ready for launch.

It means what it say on the can i.e. memory is low. When the disk space is getting low (usually below 200mb remaining, you will get a 'disk space low' warning. Memory low is usually too many programs running or too many windows open, many IE sessions will eat up your memory, but you didn't say how much was available. (also, badly writtem programs which don't release memory back to Windows could cause this, is there a common denominator either in progs running at the time, or just losts of windows / sessions ?)

Driving to work this morning, husband and toddler at home, window rolled down to enjoy these first warm days of spring and the blue sky filling the windshield, I was transported back to a moment.
A moment with my sister in the late summer of 2013, ambling through the town of Eagle River while on vacation, just the two of us under the warm August sun. As we walked the tree-lined neighborhood streets, bells echoed out from an old church.
Just as I am, without one plea
but that thy blood was shed for me
and that thou bidst me come to thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
"That's was Poppop's favorite hymn," said my sister, and I silently thought about our grandpa and his life on Shellpot Drive, where I knew him as the quiet man who ate a sandwich for lunch every day, trimmed his toenails in the den bathroom, and played Scrabble, all while believing that Jesus would come back in glory before he died. Someone played Just as I Am at his funeral.
The church bells echo around us with this tune, maybe mournful, maybe joyful.
Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict, many a doubt
fightings within and fears without
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
There are moments in life when, unexpectedly, with no warning, beauty hits you. You didn't plan on it, or seek it out, but there you are in the middle of your day, maybe driving somewhere, maybe walking, maybe looking out a window, maybe hearing that song that dovetails with the moment like they were predestined for each other–and suddenly time is suspended and your heart is filled to bursting.
A melody–the warm orange of the sun against your closed eyelids–the friendship of a sister–the knowledge that death comes to all–the strange ache of hope disappointed and hope fulfilled.
Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, thy love unknown
hath broken every barrier down;
now, to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

USDA offering new insurance for dairy producers
Thus far, 2009 has not been a good year for dairy producers and the dairy industry. The combination of low milk prices and higher-than-normal feeding costs has producers in a very precarious financial position, with little or no margins to work with.
In previous years, when feeding costs remained relatively stable, the primary concern for dairy producers was the amount of income generated from their milk sales. But in more recent years, higher prices for corn and soybean meal have greatly increased a dairy producer's input costs, resulting in extremely tight profit margins.
Making matters even more difficult is the price volatility that has permeated the markets lately, affecting not only grain prices but even the price for milk and a variety of milk products.
So to survive in today's economic environment, dairy producers need to have some protection from the unstable and often unpredictable market forces that can impact both the income and expense side of their ledger sheets.
In response to the financial dilemmas that dairy producers currently face, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Federal Crop Insurance board of directors approved a new type of insurance program for dairy producers this spring.
The livestock gross margin insurance program for dairy cattle is being offered for the 2010 crop year. Policies can be purchased in 33 states, including Minnesota, starting July 31.
The livestock gross margin insurance program for dairy cattle provides producers with protection against the loss of "gross margin" on milk produced from dairy cows. For insurance purposes, gross margin is defined as the market value of milk minus feeding costs.
Producers can sign up as often as 12 times per year and insure all of the milk they expect to produce and market over a rolling 11-month insurance period.
The indemnity at the end of the 11-month insurance period is the difference between the gross margin guarantee and the actual gross margin.
The program uses futures prices for corn, soybean meal and milk to determine the expected gross and actual gross margins. The price the producer received at the local market is not used for indemnity calculation purposes.
The livestock gross margin insurance program for dairy cattle is different from traditional options in that it is a bundled option that covers both the price of milk and feed costs.
The mix of target milk receipts and target feed rations, on a per cow basis, are determined by the producer. This feature allows producers to select the feed rations and production levels that best reflect their production situation.
More information about the livestock gross margin insurance program for dairy cattle is available at: www.rma.usda.gov.
U.S. and Canada announce organic trade agreement
Agricultural officials from Canada and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have announced that an agreement has been reached that will expand opportunities for organic producers in both countries.
Following reviews of each other's organic certification programs, producers and processors that are certified to the National Organic Program standards by a USDA-accredited certifying agent do not have to become certified to the Canada Organic Production Regulation standards in order for their products to be represented as organic in Canada.
Likewise, products certified to Canada's organic standards may be sold or labeled in the United States as organically produced.
Both the USDA organic seal and the Canada organic logo may be used on certified products from both countries.
Canada is the largest U.S. trade partner and the largest estimated export market for U.S. organic products. According to USDA estimates, more than 80 percent of Canada's organic consumption comes from imports, and approximately 75 percent of those imports come from the United States.
Consumer demand for organic food has risen quickly over the past 10 years, triggered in part by the development and success of USDA's organic regulatory program and label.
Since the late 1990s, U.S. organic production has more than doubled, but the consumer market has grown even faster. Organic food sales have more than quintupled, increasing from $3.6 billion in 1997 to $24.6 billion in 2008.
According to the Organic Trade Association, more than two-thirds of U.S. consumers buy organic products at least occasionally and 28 percent buy organic products weekly.
Wes Nelson is executive director of the USDAFarm Service Agency in Kandiyohi County.

Continuing the innovative family cartridge concept introduced with Optra S, Lexmark has designed the Optra T print cartridges to work in all four models of the Optra T printers from the 15 page per minute Optra T610 to the 35 page per minute Optra T616. This single cartridge solution across such a broad range of products is unique in the industry and provides customers maximum flexibility and the cost savings advantages of ordering and stocking a single cartridge for all their Optra T printing needs. Lexmark offers a wide choice of cartridges allowing customers to choose the solution that best fits their needs. These include Prebate* and non−Prebate standard yield and high yield cartridges, as well as a special cartridge with oiled fuser wipers for customers that do a large amount of label printing. The standard Optra T print cartridge has a yield of 10,000 pages and the high yield cartridge is a 25,000 pages yield offering. These cartridges yields are measured at 5% coverage at comparable industry settings (print darkness = 5). The industry leading 25,000 page capacity of the high yield cartridge means much less operator intervention, inventory and ordering than most competitors' "maximum capacity" cartridges, equating to improved productivity and dramatic savings in hidden operating costs.
* A Prebate cartridge is an all−new cartridge offered at a special discounted price with the understanding you can use it only once and then return it to Lexmark for recycling.

About James
I am a sinner, saved by grace.
Growing up in a military family, I lived just about everywhere as a kid. When my dad retired from the Army, we settled in Dallas, Texas. The summer after I graduated from high school, as I read the Bible with a good friend, I became convicted of my sin and my need for a savior. I went to college, therefore, a very young believer.
My early years of following Jesus, in the midst of the hedonism that is typical on a state university campus, were "sink or swim." By God's grace, I swam. I connected with a local church in my college years. There I was loved, mentored, and developed. Ultimately, my wife and I were married there. Later I would serve on the pastoral staff of that same church for over twelve years. To the saints of that church I am forever indebted. From them, I learned much about grace and much about what the local church should be.
Since 2013 I've had the privilege of serving as the lead pastor at Capitol City Christian Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. Because of my experience as a young believer, I am passionate about the local church. I am passionate most of all about my local church – the people God has called me to serve and lead by his grace. Most of what I write here is for the saints I now am privileged to pastor.
My best friend, Kristen, and I have been married since 2001. Together we are raising four wonderful kids: Hudson (2006), Isaac (2008), Elliot (2011), and Carson (2013). From them we learn much about ourselves – and ultimately about God's grace.
I love listening to music and reading (mostly theology, history, and – occasionally – fiction). I also foster unhealthy obsessions with the Boston Red Sox and Manchester United. In recent years, I've learned to enjoy running. (I don't run fast.)
Above all else, I'm learning to love the gospel. Learning. For me, growing as a believer has mainly meant finding new ways to apply the gospel to my own heart. I am more convinced of my need for grace today than I was decades ago when I trusted in Christ for the first time. Even this, I believe, is grace.

Green Beans with Ham
I may be assuming here, but I have a feeling that a lot of you have left over ham from Easter dinner like I do. I also am guessing that you want to do something more than warm it up for dinner or make sandwiches with it. So here is something that I love to do with left over ham. It makes a great side dish for practically any other meat you my want to serve.

load it!
6 Oct 2011
7:30 pm – 8:15 pm: Introduction + Panel Discussion
8:15 pm – 11:00 pm: Games throughout the museum
Location: Auditorium, museum café, and galleries, Temporary Stedelijk 2
Entrance: Free with a valid museum ticket
Language: English
Reservation: required for the Introduction and Panel Discussion
Moderation: Klaas Kuitenbrouwer (Virtueel Platform, HKU Games & Interactie )
This special Do It! event revolves around the presentation of three video games developed by visual artists in collaboration with game designers:
Sollmann (Part 1: The Harbour) by Marcel van Eeden and Jorrit de Vries
FLX. by Han Hoogebrugge and Sander van der Vegte
Styleclash – The Painting Machine Construction Kit by Jochem van der Spek.
These three short games are the tangible result of "A Split Second," a three-year research project initiated by the Stedelijk Museum and Submarine Channel, which explores the concept of artistic authorship within the context of video games by fostering cross-disciplinary collaborations between visual artists and game designers. The project started in 2008, when the Stedelijk and Submarine Channel received the DING! Award (awarded by the Media Fund, Virtueel Platform and Fund BKVB) for the initial plan for "A Split Second."
Auxpulse (Michael Vultoo (Sinqlogue) and Ruger Muller (DS-10 Dominator)) will be the residence-DJ of the evening and during Load It! they will present the first album of their collective Nintendo DS-act.
The evening begins with a panel discussion, during which experts from the field of gaming and contemporary art discuss how games should be positioned and exhibited in a museum context.
After that, the floor is yours to experience Gone, FLX., and Styleclash – The Painting Machine Construction Kit first-hand. We also invite you to explore a modest selection of recent games, such as Portal 2, Echocrome 2, The Path, and Limbo, which will be exhibited in game booths as playful interventions in the various rooms in the museum. See what the 21st century remake of Pacman looks like, contemplate the mind-bending game mechanics of first-person puzzle game Portal 2, navigate your way through spaces that would make Escher's head spin in Echochrome 2, and be sure to get killed before going to the next level in Limbo. Load It! Plug in and come play with us!
Games in the Stedelijk
The Stedelijk Museum has a long tradition of presenting new developments in art and visual culture. One of the most remarkable phenomena in contemporary culture is the expansive growth of gaming. Whereas the film and art worlds often overlap, the gaming industry and contemporary art often seem poles apart. In 2006, the Stedelijk deliberately began bridging these cultural domains by organizing the exhibition Next Level and initiating a collaboration with the influential new media lab Submarine Channel. This resulted in the three game projects that are presented at Load It! Over the course of a series of meetings, workshops, and presentations that took place in 2009, three acclaimed Dutch artists paired up with game designers to create video games that investigate games as a medium of artistic expression. With these projects, the Stedelijk intends to actively explore the relationship between a modern and contemporary art collection and contemporary media art practices.
Three Projects
Visual artist Marcel van Eeden and game developer Jorrit De Vries created a short, first-person, 3-D mystery game that challenges preconceived notions of the traditional game avatar. In Gone, the main character gets poisoned at the start of the game and gradually loses his ability to see, hear, and move. Set in a 1940s WWII harbor, the game's narrative, main characters, and most significant objects such as the ship Cornelia Maas, were adapted from previous projects by van Eeden, tying the game with van Eeden's larger body of work. Van Eeden's analog pencil drawings have been painstakingly translated to a 3-D game environment by Jorrit De Vries.
Visual artist and game designer Jochem van der Spek created Styleclash – The Painting Machine Construction Kit, a competitive abstract drawing game for the iPad. The player controls a virtual drawing machine whose main properties can be manipulated to influence the machine's visually expressive output. By moving the iPad, a camera circles around the machine, offering the player the chance to observe the machine's movements. In the final version for the iPad 2, two players will battle against each other for stylistic dominance over the "painting" in a "style clash."
Multimedia artist Han Hoogebrugge has developed a unique game on a multiplayer platform. In FLX., each player controls a character, and each character is physically connected to the other. Thus, players are forced to collaborate without any possible means of oral or written communication in order to navigate through a series of linked spaces. Like playing poker, the behavior of each fellow player is the only sign of communication.
The Museum: The Right Context for Games?
Games and interactive works are gaining popularity in the arts. In addition, games – as a contemporary art medium – are becoming increasingly visible in museum galleries, for example in the exhibitions Talk To Me (Museum of Modern Art, 2011), Games – Kunst und Politik der Spiele (Kunsthalle Wien, 2008), and Next Level (Stedelijk Museum, 2006). Games are often perceived as an extension of new media, while their specific properties require an equally specific and unique methodology of interpretation and contextualization. But with regard to museums, how games can be positioned, exhibited, and collected within art institutions? Does this kind of museum practice already have a history, and what can be expected of the future? Should or could a museum be a place for playing games? In order to contextualize the games presented at Load It!, the evening will start with an expert panel discussion, featuring speakers such as Matthias Fuchs (game pioneer, curator, and senior lecturer at Salford University), Steven Poole (journalist and author of Trigger Happy: The Inner Life of Videogames), Isabelle Arvers (curator specializing in art and video games), Bart Rutten (curator at the Stedelijk Museum), Bruno Felix (director of Submarine Channel), and others.
The projects produced by Submarine Channel and the Stedelijk Museum were made with the support of the Game Fund (an initiative of the Media Fund and the Fund BKVB), SNS REAAL Fund, and VSB Fund.

Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder Anatomy
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. The shoulder joint comprises bone ligaments tendons and muscles that connect the arm to the torso.
- Clavical (collar bone)
- Scapula (shoulder blade)
- Humerus (long bone of the arm.)
The shoulder has 3 joints that work together to bring about movement in multidirectional are
- 1. Acromioclavicular joint - The AC joint gives us the ability to raise the arm above head.
- 2. Glenohumeral joint – This is a ball-socket type joint. The Ball is the top rounded part of humerus and the Socket is bowl shaped part of scapula called the glenoid into which the ball fits. The joint allows the arm to move in a circular rotation as well as towards and away from the body.
- 3. Coracoacromial joint
Structures which give stability to shoulder are
– piece of a cartilage that cushions the humerus head and glenoids. It deepens the glenoid cavity and stabilizes the joint.
Rotator cuff muscle
- supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis form a group that pull the humerus into scapula. It also helps in rotation of the arm.
Two sacs like structures called bursa are also located in the shoulder
- Subacromial bursa
- Subcoracoid bursa
They secrete synovial fluid which helps to reduce friction between moving parts. Together all of these structures create one of the most flexible joint in the body.
