Skip to comments.North Dakota: Kevin Cramer Upsets Party-Backed Candidate
Posted on 06/12/2012 9:36:16 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued
Public Service Commissioner Kevin Cramer upset the North Dakota Republican Party-backed candidate for at-large Representative on Tuesday night. With 84 percent of precincts reporting, Cramer had 53 percent to Brian Kalks 46 percent.
Cramer is running for the House seat vacated by freshman Rep. Rick Berg (R), who easily won his Senate primary Tuesday against businessman Duane Sand (R).
Earlier this year, North Dakota Republicans picked Kalk, also a public service commissioner, as their endorsed candidate in the GOP primary. A former state party chairman, Cramer ran outside the party endorsement system, giving the GOPs chosen candidate a significant challenge for the first time in recent history.
National conservative groups such as the Club for Growth and FreedomWorks boosted Cramer with independent expenditures on his behalf.
This November, Cramer faces the newly minted Democratic nominee, former state Rep. Pam Gulleson. Roll Call rates this seat as Likely Republican.

The state party has shown bad judgement, nominating Brian Kalk and Rick Berg, both of whom have proven to be weak candidates.
This is primary totals from the SOS office.
Probably the same party bigwigs that selected McCain? You can see how that worked out.
They got slapped tonight. There was a fair amount of arrogance in the state party leadership.
From Wisconsin to North Dakota — Congrats! and they said the T.E.A. Party was dead.
About Berg — ND is very much a retail politics state. A weak candidate will kill us there.
You think Berg will lose the Senate election? If so it's probably impossible for the GOP to take a majority without some major upsets elsewhere like FL or OH.
It was the state party that chose Kalk not the NRCC.
Anyhow, I hate headline writers. It's not an "upset" when you've been leading the polls as Cramer has been.
Kalk was hardly a weak candidate. He has been under constant attack by radical anti energy enviros while Kramer is bought and paid for by those same radicals.
I don't. So it might be close, but how does Obama's girlfriend get 50%? I don't see it. But we have to work hard when we had assumed it would be easy.
BTW, neither FL or OH would be "major upsets". Both are tossups to lean D at worst.
And 51 would be possible without ND, FL or OH if we get Virginia, which is a tossup at worst.
"Anyhow, I hate headline writers. It's not an "upset" when you've been leading the polls as Cramer has been."
:-D Good one.
Based on the polls the DCCC should be upset too, Cramer was the stronger pick.

It's fair to say that the Kardashian sisters are colour-blind when it comes to the men they date. Khloe Kardashian, for example, married Lamar Odom, an African-American, while sister Kim has twice married black men (Kris Humphries and Kanye West), to say nothing of her onscreen shenanigans with Ray J in her infamous sex tape.
Khloe made this abundantly clear in a recent post on her website, answering a question from a fan who lives in the South, and gripes that she is in an interracial relationship and feels ostracized for it.
RELATED: Khloe Kardashian Responds To Donald Trump's 'Cruel' Comments About Her
"I have been called every name you could ever imagine," writes the woman, named Kelsey. "If my boyfriend and I go out together, there are always stares. People often make rude comments and gestures toward us."
After thanking Kelsey for "talking about this important issue," Kardashian expresses her disdain for anyone who would have a problem with interracial dating.
"I don't support racism or discrimination of any kind and I especially don't understand why some people are still against interracial relationships," she writes. "Like who the F cares anymore?! It's so crazy because we're all human beings capable of love so why does skin colour have anything to do with it?"

A former milkman branded "pure evil" by police could spend the rest of his life in jail after being convicted of killing a schoolgirl in a "frenzied and remorseless" murder more than 20 years ago.
Colin Ash-Smith, 46, stabbed Claire Tiltman from behind as she took a short cut through a dark alleyway to a friend's house in 1993, just four days after her 16th birthday.
He attended her funeral a month later with his Labour councillor parents wearing the same beige jacket he wore the night of the murder.
Today friends of the murdered schoolgirl wept as her killer was finally convicted at Inner London Crown Court. Blond-haired Ash-Smith stared ahead stony-faced as the jury of seven men and five women gave their verdict after just three hours of deliberation.
Outside court Claire's friends hugged each other and detectives who had worked on the case as they finally saw her killer brought to justice.
A knife-obsessed loner, Ash-Smith has been in jail since 1996 for stabbing two other young women in brutal attacks that bore the same hallmarks as Claire's murder.
The judge Mr Justice Sweeney warned Ash-Smith he faced a life sentence. Mr Justice Sweeney said: "The only sentence I can impose upon a conviction for murder is one of life imprisonment.
"However it is also incumbent upon me to form a view as to the length of any minimum term."
Thanking the jury he said: "This case has obviously been a very demanding case for any jury to have to sit upon. The crimes that you have had to consider are appalling.
"I'm extremely grateful to you for the way in which you have gone about your duties with conspicuous responsibility and consideration from the first to the last."
Ash-Smith was first questioned as a suspect by detectives in connection with the schoolgirl's murder in 1995.
But he was only charged earlier this year, the day he was due to be considered for release by the parole board.
Claire's parents Cliff and Linda have died in the years since her murder in Greenhithe, Kent, on January 18 1993, and questions will be asked about why her killer evaded justice for so long.
Brian Altman QC, prosecuting, said Ash-Smith got a "warped pleasure" out of killing Claire in a "savage" and motiveless attack. He told jurors: "Her assailant had stabbed her no less than nine times in what can only be described as a frenzied and remorseless attack by someone having nothing less than the intention of killing her.
"Make no mistake, this was a killing for the sake of killing, carried out by a ruthless and predatory armed killer, who attacked his chosen victim rapidly and stealthily, allowing her no time for defence or escape, and who fled the scene just as efficiently as he had arrived."
When officers searched his family home last year they found an edition of a local newspaper marking the first anniversary of Claire's death, which he had kept as a trophy. A five-week trial heard chilling details of how Ash-Smith killed Claire as part of a "spree" of attacks on females across Kent.
A self-confessed "animal", he was plagued by a hatred of women who he felt "humiliated" him.
He singled out, stalked and attacked females, and then bragged about them in diaries – giving himself a percentage rating for how "successful" he was.
Speaking in an eerily-calm voice as he took to the witness box, Ash-Smith told how he went on midnight walks armed with knives hunting for victims.
In an attack he later dubbed his "masterpiece", Ash-Smith attempted to murder and sexually assault a young mother in 1988.
He pounced on her late at night and marched her by gunpoint to a quarry where he gagged and took photos of her in sexual poses. He tried to strangle her with a school tie before stabbing and leaving her for dead. Luckily she survived.
Ash-Smith told jurors he "snapped" and attacked. He added: "I would wait for my mum and dad to go to sleep first and then I would go out. I was 19 or 20.
"That was the first time I started doing it, in 1988. I used to do it quite regularly. I used to call them my midnight walks. I was hoping I would see someone and provoke someone into attacking me."
Asked why he attacked the woman, he said: "I wanted to feel empowered, that I had control over someone. That I wasn't a doormat."
Five years later he attacked Claire as she walked to a friend's house to talk about college options after finishing her mock GCSEs. In a decision that was to cost Claire her life, the schoolgirl turned down a lift from her friend's mother and instead walked, taking a detour to buy cigarettes.
But she never made it to her friend's, and was stabbed in the alley. She staggered to the main road where she collapsed in a pool of blood. Ash-Smith denied killing Claire, who he knew through the local British Legion Club.
He spun police a false alibi claiming to be out at the time leafleting with his mother Diane, a Labour councillor and later the local mayor. Two years later he struck again, dragging Charlotte Barnard, 22, to a disused business premises and stabbing her 14 times just yards from where he killed Claire.
Detectives later discovered Assault Plans written by Ash-Smith in which he told of his "psycho state of mind" and plans to attack women. His lawyers claimed convicted killer Robert Napper, dubbed the Plumstead Ripper, could have killed Claire.

Graph embedding and extensions: A general framework for dimensionality reduction

|Over the past few decades, a large family of algorithms-supervised or unsupervised; stemming from statistics or geometry theory-has been designed to provide different solutions to the problem of dimensionality reduction. Despite the different motivations of these algorithms, we present in this paper a general formulation known as graph embedding to unify them within a common framework. In graph embedding, each algorithm can be considered as the direct graph embedding or its linear/kernel/tensor extension of a specific intrinsic graph that describes certain desired statistical or geometric properties of a data set, with constraints from scale normalization or a penalty graph that characterizes a statistical or geometric property that should be avoided. Furthermore, the graph embedding framework can be used as a general platform for developing new dimensionality reduction algorithms. By utilizing this framework as a tool, we propose a new supervised dimensionality reduction algorithm called Marginal Fisher Analysis in which the intrinsic graph characterizes the intraclass compactness and connects each data point with its neighboring points of the same class, while the penalty graph connects the marginal points and characterizes the interclass separability. We show that MFA effectively overcomes the limitations of the traditional Linear Discriminant Analysis algorithm due to data distribution assumptions and available projection directions. Real face recognition experiments show the superiority of our proposed MFA in comparison to LDA, also for corresponding kernel and tensor extensions.

my.sewingroom meditations
You read that correct...I'm going home! I leave February 22 right after the QCA Get Together. I just need to go home and be in my own surroundings. I talked to my oldest grandson, Christopher today. He was so excited because I'm coming home earlier than planned. He ran to get his step-dad, Nate who was taking a nap. Because my voice still isn't strong, I couldn't stop him. Poor Nate! I explained I was coming home and I would email my itinerary and would he mind picking me up again from Amtrak at 1:00 AM? Yes, that was AM...just one hour after midnight. The only time the train goes thru Cleveland. While I was on the phone with Amtrak, I also stressed that my wheelchair is for ME and not my luggage!! And yes, you read that correctly too. Everytime I go thru Chicago, the Red Cap service gets worse. Coming out to Arizona, they actually put all my luggage onto my wheelchair and left me standing! They came back and asked why I didn't follow them to the lounge. Hellooooooo! Did I really have to explain to them that the wheel chair was for me? I get so tired of having to file complaints every time I go thru Chicago.
I regressed there. Chicago gets me off on a tangent. I'm going home! I've just had too many health issues crop up and some are serious. This next week I will be undergoing tests to find out why my feet are turning blue. Obviously it's a circulation problem, but it can be one of 2 diagnosis. Neither are good and both are hereditary. Serious heart disease runs in the family. I want to go home and see a vascular doctor there and if a procedure needs to be done, I want to recover in my own home. I'm still on voice rest from the respiratory infection from 2 weeks ago. One of my doctors back home feels there is damage to my esophagus due to acid reflux and this could be why I still have a sore throat and why I can't adjust to the cpap. Also the lymphodema and nerve damage in my feet and legs is getting worse so I need to see my neurologist. Also the doctor here upon seeing my latest blood tests that I had done just before coming out for the winter, discovered that I'm pre-diabetic. This was something I did not know and I'm sure my doctor in Ohio was going to tell me upon my return. One thing is certain.....I'm feeling like Humpty Dumpty and they can't put me back together again. I'm going home!!
For all the things going on, I'm seeing more reasons for the need of a service dog. There are so many things Indy will be able to do once he has been trained. We will need to spend several months together before we can start the training. I must go thru the training to so I know how to say the commands. The vet checked him out the other day and gave him the go ahead. Said he's a smart little guy. He's 18 months old and will be almost 2 yrs old when we start training. That is the perfect age to start him. Even in training, he will be able to go anywhere with me. I can't wait to get home and have Indy brought home. I got some new photos the other day. I think I put them on the previous blog. Christopher and Noel will be surprised when they see him! I've been keeping it a secret.
My brother Bill called from California today. He hasn't had a chance to come over yet. You see he's my brother from Daddy's second marriage. We've never met! So he's going to see if he can take his vacation before I leave Arizona so he can come to visit while I'm here in Arizona. I'm so excited about meeting him. I've met the older brother, Robert. Turns out Robert lives in NE Ohio about a one hour drive from me. He's come over to visit several times. We have shared many baby pictures and he has given me photos of Daddy. It turns out we have many of the same interests, so we have enjoyed each others company. He brings his wife Jen and 2 of his grandchildren over. They will sure enjoy Indy! So now I'm really looking forward to meeting Bill and his wife Jeri. I didn't think to bring any photos with me, but hopefully there will be a time that perhaps they will come to Ohio and we can all get together. There is still another brother, Gary. I hope someday to meet him too.
In spite of the depression I'm feeling today, I managed to make my February BOMs and posted them this evening. I even managed to clean up the area that I'm sewing in. This morning I finished one of the quilted blocks into a pillow that the alzheimer quilter had started. I just have a wall hanging to finish and I'm taking the quilt tops home to quilt. Then that whole project will be complete.
This morning's devotion was talking about "Begin with God...He give Joy". I've been struggling with that one today because I wasn't feeling joy this morning. But as the day progressed I found joy in the future meeting with my brother Bill, talking to 2 of my other brothers yesterday, talked to Christopher today, made arrangements to go home, and I'm going to have my little Indy soon. James 1:2-3 says "Consider it pure joy, ...whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perserverance." Thank you God for the Joy. Amen
Good morning, Jesus. I'm homesick. I miss my house, my neighbors, and just being able to relax in my own surroundings. Thank you for the blessings of yesterday, dear Jesus. You are so awesome! AmenI
I want to go home! But I have some obligations here in Arizona that I must see complete first. First and formost the QCA/RWYS Luncheon next month. I am so looking forward to that. And Sheri is coming to town and I'm looking forward to getting together with her. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go to the Expo with Maggie due to this respiratory infection I've had for the past week. I'm slowly recovering...still have a sore throat. Saw the vascular doctor the other day. I have neuropathy in my toes which is due to the nerve damage from the accident. The swelling in my feet and legs is from the lymphodema...also from the damage caused by the accident. My feet turning blue is another ball game altogether and most likely hereditary. I have to go for testing on Monday and Wednesday and will get the results on Wednesday after that test. The doctor has given two possibilities and either way I will not be happy. Depending which diagnosis she gives may determine whether I have to go home immediately or not. One of the diagnosis is serious. Please keep me in your prayers.
My caregiver and the doctor has said that I need an adjustable bed when I go home. So I've been looking online at adjustable beds....YIKES!!! Do you know how much they cost? Between $1,000 and $3,000!!!!!! Medicare will pay for a simple crank style with foam mattress. I am unable to do a crank style and foam mattresses release gases after a while. So that is not an option for me. I was not going to get any Medicare benefits on this. Yesterday morning I was talking with my neighbor and she said to look no farther. They had a practically new adjustable bed in their upstairs bedroom that I could have. It has all the bells and whistles likes remote control, wave action, vibrate, adjustable head/legs, and it's twin size like I wanted. I just have to find 3 strong guys to move it. It just so happens my other neighbors are guys who for a home cooked meal will probably help out. What a blessing I have received! Our God is an awesome God!
Another blessing I received yesterday....more photos of my little Indy. I can't wait to get home so I can bring him home. I haven't even held him yet and I love him so much!! My vet says he's adorable and a sweet little guy. I had her go over and check him out. She said he will make a great little service dog. Here's the newest photos of Indy...Isn't he a cutie??
I've started my block for the Round Robin. I almost forgot about it and it has to be done by Feb. 1. I will make the deadline. Last night I made the main part of the block. Now I want to add a border on it and embroider a Bible verse on it. The finished quilt top will go to my daughter-in-law, who has been a light of faith and helped me thru a bad summer last year. We have cried on each other's shoulders...long distance. She's in California and I'm in Ohio, but we're there for each other. We haven't been able to Skype since I've been in Arizona. I'm sure Joshua and Mila have grown since I last saw them.
Thank you for all the birthday fabrics. I joined 2 birthday clubs and I don't remember who is from which club. So after my birthday I will post a photo of all the fabrics together. So far most of them have been 30/40s...Yipee!! Perhaps I'll finally be able to make the Eleanor Burns sampler quilit from the "Egg Money" book. I like all the blocks and all the quilts in the book. So the easiest thing to do is make the sampler quilt. I've been collecting some 30/40's fabrics too, so I should be close to having enough.
Need to eat breakfast at least that's what my tummy is telling me. By then the alarm on my cell phone will go off the remind me to take my meds. Finally came up with a way to keep me on my toes about taking my meds. Believe me that alarm gets my attention!
Have a great day everyone! Hugs.
Wow...two blogs in one day! I was just settling down earlier to chat on line with Irene when my cell phone rang. It was one of the agencies I had been trying to reach. I just sent a message to Irene apologizing for cutting her off. I told her that to get an agency to return your call is major!
I've been trying to find a caregiver for myself in Ohio. I have a caregiver while I'm here in Arizona. For the past 2 years I've been handling my own medical care and not doing a very good job. By the time I get home from a doctor appointment, I've forgotten the diagnosis, his instructions, and if I hadn't gotten an appointment card, when the next appointment is scheduled. I call Barb, my caregiver in AZ, but I am unable to give her much information. So obviously she is unable to help me much.
I have called from one agency to agency to agency on aging to find a caregiver. Why is this so hard? The focus is on respite care for the caregiver. Of course, I know that. I took caregiving courses...I even co-taught caregiving course as a parish ministry assistant. I volunteered at the Beatitudes D.O.A.R. ViCap where they also have a program for respite care for the caregiver.
I was told to call the hospital patient advocate office. They only help the patients in the hospital.
OK so if I don't have a family member or friend who is not willing to be my caregiver, what am I to do? Well, I have a friend who is my caregiver...so called. She is unwilling to go to my doctor appointments and help manage my care. We won't go there. I don't want to ruin our friendship over this. How does one find a caregiver? Why has this question never been addressed? If it has been addressed, why is it so bloody hard to find the answer???
Oh my, my head is starting to hurt. I need to go quilt!
As we get older, we start to loose our friends. Last summer Hal passed away. I was shocked when Pastor called me with the news. Then in November before coming to Arizona my friend Carol passed away from lung cancer. And now this past Wednesday my friend Linda passed away. Linda suffered from diabetes and had gotten an infection in her foot a couple years ago. That infection never healed and little by little her leg was amputated. Last winter when I was here in Arizona I was in charge of the church photo directory and I am now so very happy that I decided to include all the shut-ins. I had a wonderful visit with Linda. She was in rehab, was happy, and seemed very hopeful. They had fitted her with an artificial limb and she had just taken her first steps. Linda was so excited and was telling me that when I came back next winter she would be walking. Linda is now walking with our Lord and Saviour in the Kingdom of God with two legs. Lord God, it is so hard loosing our friends as we get older. We know that they had suffered from illnesses and much pain while on this earth. But, now they are in your Kingdom again whole and no longer suffering. For that we thank you and praise Your Name. Amen
Since I'm confined to the house for 10 days due to a respiratory infection, I've been working on my little Indy's accessories. I ordered his doggie ID tags, collar and leash. His foster mom told me that he sleeps on a bed pillow. I made 2 pillowcases for him. And, of course, I had to make Indy a couple placemats for his doggie dishes. I also made his foster mom a set of coasters from some of the scraps. I'm going to make a little quilt for him to lay on for the sofa when I get home. I bought some fabric, but I have a coordinating fabric at home.
Was hoping to go to the Sewing/Quilt Expo this week with Maggie. However, as my caregiver Barb says "my wings have been clipped". Had my list all made out too. So I'm shop hopping online and not having much luck finding the backing for my guest room quilt. May have to wait till I can get to Amish country this summer. So today I'm going to switch gears and help my friend to make another pirate costume for the Renaissance Festival. Last year I supervised him to make a reversible coat from a pattern that didn't even have a lining. Oh, that was fun! But considering I've done historical costume in the past with virtually no pattern, this wasn't too hard. He just keeps throwing little surprises into the mix. This year's surprise...he wants pockets added. Not patch pockets, inset pockets, not in the seam., welted pockets...no pattern. Ok the thinking cap is on. Thank you internet!!!! It took a long time, but I finally found it on the internet. Is there nothing you can find on the internet?? He's making the coat. I'm making the pants. Believe me, I have the easy part.
Now that I've been up since 1:00 am., I think it's finally time for bed. Good morning.....zzzzzzz
Hugs. Have a wonderful quilty week everyone.
Good morning, God. I am trusting in You that this will be a good day. I have to go to the dentist, my feet are already swollen (again), and my body hurts as always. But thank you Lord Jesus...my massage therapist comes this afternoon! Praises for all the blessings You give me! My caregiver Barb, spent the afternoon with me yesterday to start working out a diet plan. Barb has been a great friend to me. What a treasure and blessing! Yesterday we also lost a good friend, Linda S. Please wrap Your comforting arms around her family during this difficult time. Now Linda is no longer in distress and is glorifying in Your Kingdom. I thank You for the wonderful visit I had with her last winter and that I will have that final happy memory of her. Lord God, thank you for the many undeserved blessings and grace that you give me. Amen.
Good morning to all my quilty friends! The other day I finished the quilt for my granddaughter Hanna's 6th birthday. Even got it to the longarm quilter the same evening. I'm really ahead of the game as her birthday isn't till March 25. Normally I would quilt it myself, but my machine is in Ohio and I'm not. Besides this way I can work on other things. While Marlene and I were on our little (did I really say little?) shopping spree, I picked up some fabrics to make my little Indy some placemats for his doggie dishes and some pillowcases. His foster mom says he sleeps on a bed pillow. I also recently found some more doggie fabric and I'm going to make a little quilt for my sofa for him to lay on. Like my brother said the other day, Indy will be spoiled before I even get him home!! I can't spoil him too much, because once we've spent some time together and he is comfortable with me, we will be going into training for Indy to become my service dog. Yes, I said we will be going into training. I have to learn all the commands, etc. Once Indy is in training, he will be able to go everywhere with me.
I'm also, after taking a little break, back to work on my Reap What You Sew project. I'm almost finished with another pillow. We are giving this to the daughter of the alzheimer quilter, who has 4th stage breast cancer. I've posted the 2nd quilt top if you haven't seen it. I will be taking it back home to quilt along with the first one. Once the pillow is done, all I have left is the wall hanging. I really need a lot of prayer about this one. It is so beautiful and I want to do it justice.
Looking forward to the Sewing/Quilt Expo coming up here in Phoenix and meeting Maggie, who is taking me. Maybe, we can meet up with Marlene and her friend. Oh what damage we could do!! Eh, Marlene? I'm on the lookout for wide backing for the quilt I'll be making this summer for my guest room. Always have to look at patterns. Why? Who knows....I have more patterns than I know what to do with. I'll never have enough time to make them all. I could probably start a pattern store along with a fabric store. Hey maybe if I buy enough notions, I could have a business. I could call it....JoAnn Fabrics!!! Oh yeah, someone already thought of that one!
My friend just left for work saying, "Another day, another 50 cents." Cracked me up! Have a wonderful day!
Lord Heavenly Father, I haven't been starting my days with You again. Here I am singing Your praises in spite of my monster headache. Yet You bless me so richly with all my quilty friends. I had a wonderful time meeting Marlene on Friday and going to 35th Ave. and Mulqueens. You surround me with so many friends at church. There are so many talented people You have placed in my life....like David with the new song he wrote and sang Saturday evening at church...so beautiful. Thank you for my AZ caregiver and friend Barb, who spends a lot of time helping me understand what is going on with the latest medical problem I'm having and researches ways for me to find a new caregiver in Ohio. And thank you for the friends in Ohio who call me to make sure I am ok here in Arizona. My prayer request for today is for Cousin Deb's son-in-law Jared who was in an industrial accident last week. Please wrap your healing arms around Jared so that we will walk again. And give Kylie patience as she deals with all the physical therapy that Jared will be going thru and the care of their newborn baby. Father, help me as I continue my care from all my injuries and recent incident with PTSD this past Saturday. Singing Your praises and thank yous, in Your Holy Name. Amen
Thanks to Marlene on Friday, I went to 35th Ave. and saw their new store. Were we ever blown away! The store is HUGE! It's a shame I had just spend an hour with my financial advisor before Marlene picked me up. Otherwise, I would have spend a very large bundle in that shop! Instead I contained myself...you have no idea how hard that was...and only bought what I needed. My total only came to $42. Then we went down the road to Mulqueens on 59th Ave....a smaller shop. I could have easily spent another large bundle. They had some wonderful Christmas fabrics on sale for 50% off. Again I put the brakes on and only bought 2 fat quarters to make Indy a Christmas stocking (I have fabric at home to go with it), fabric for 2 gals in the bday club, a panel for a secret, and a fabric for Indy's pillowcase. Found out he sleeps on a bed pillow. My bill at Mulqueens only came to $35. So I didn't do bad considering when I go to Amish country to the quilt stores I spend over $200. Perhaps I should meet with my financial adviser every time before I go fabric shopping! Saturday afternoon Jim wanted to go to JoAnn Fabrics. I found fabric for 2 placemats for Indy and spent just under $20.
Due to the PF Chang marathon, I was unable to get to church yesterday so I sewed all day. I almost have the quilt top done for my granddaughter Hanna's 6th birthday. She loved Cora's quilt that I made at Christmas time with all the butterflies and flowers. I've used some of the same fabrics and some new fabrics, made snowball blocks, sashing, 3 borders, added butterflies and flowers. Today I will machine applique the butterflies and flowers and hopefully get the backing and batting pinned to the front. Maybe I'll take it to the longarm quilter instead. She did a good job. Then I can start on Indy projects and finish up the RWYS Precious Projects this week. Sounds like a plan! I'm also under doctor's orders to start elevating my feet every 30 minutes. That puts a damper on productivity. Wish I had brought one of my Crabapple Hill UFOs with me.
Blessings to my quilty friends for a wonderfuly week and hugs to you too.
I'm a bit lax and I think we all do once we receive what we've asked God to give us. But I want to sing praises and thank yous to God for giving me Indy! I can't wait to get back to Ohio so I can meet him and bring him home! Has everyone seen his photo? Been showing it to everyone...at church, at my quilt group here in AZ, when I'm shopping, the neighbors. Emailed it to everyone back home. Posted it on Facebook. It's posted on QCA and Quilt with Us. Have I missed anyone? Don't think I mailed it to my brothers and mom...they don't do internet. Guess I better print copies and mail it to them. Don't want them to find out I've added to my family from the family grapevine gets to them before snail mail... That is if it hasn't beat me! I just ordered Indy's id tags, collar, and leash. I'm going shop hopping this afternoon, so I'm looking for doggie fabric to make him a couple placemats for his doggie dishes. I also want to get some fleece to make him a sleeping mat for the bed and sofa. Praise God! I finally have my puppy! Well, I will have him when I get home. So I'm cutting my winter short and leaving AZ the end of February. Mommy's coming home Indy!!!
Meanwhile, I finished my first UFO for 2012. It's my 2006 retreat quilt made from Civil War reproduction fabrics. My friends took it to the longarm quilter as my Christmas present. Two days ago I finished putting the binding on. Perhaps today I'll get photos taken and get it posted. If not today, sometime tomorrow. It turned out great and will look wonderful on the foot of my bed. I'm sure Indy will make good use of it!
Well I need to get going before my friend Marlene shows up so we can go shop hopping. I've never done this before so I'm really excited! Happy quilting! And praise God today for whatever blessings He has given you!
Hugs, Linda
PS. I talked to Indy's foster mom before going shop hopping and found out he sleeps on a pillow. Marlene and I just got back about 45 minutes ago. I found fabrics for 2 pillowcases for Indy. Now I have to find placemat fabric. Thank you, Marlene, for a wonderful afternoon! Hope we can do it again before I return to Ohio. Hi Nana!
This adoption process has had me stressed out. I had an email Saturday saying I'd have an answer today and had a new picture of the puppy. So I thought if she was bringing him to Arizona I'd better make sure I could get him back home to Ohio on the train since that was the only way I can travel. Oh horrors! Amtrak does not take pets, only service animals. What to do? I simply cannot fly due to risk of blood clots and my legs swelling. When I talked to the foster mom, she said she'd already had him since September and was not willing to keep him till spring. Did that mean I'd have to give up this opportunity? But we're made for each other! I was on the phone this morning with my friend and caregiver in tears. Finally, I said I just have to let go and let God. We finally hung up and I was sobbing. It was 9:00 am and I still hadn't had my shower or taken my meds. No sooner did I get to my room and my cell phone rings.....
Indy is an 18 month old Havanese rescued puppy. His foster mom decided that we are such a perfect fit that she will keep him till I come home in March. Turns out she only lives 10 minutes from me. Even tho shes getting so attached to him, she can come visit him frequently. And after talking to my friends and me, we think we are going to become good friends too. I just had to let go and let God handle the situation. Again, it was a situation I had no control over. Not only do I have a new member to my family, but a new friend too. Our God is an awsome God.
Well, I'm not getting much sewing done again today. I have my retreat quilt to finish and the RWYS precious projects to work on. I best get started. This is a blessed day indeed! Praise God for all blessings!
May you have a blessed day too!
The computer was down for a few days. It's one thing when it's my own computer and I have control over it's demise. (Or at least I think I do.) However, I'm staying with friends for the winter and I don't have control when the computer goes down. Ok, it's about my not having control over something. I'm learning in the last 4 years that I can't have control over every little detail in my life. I've had to let go and let God handle it. I picked up a sign last weekend at the antique mart. It says... "We make plans. God laughs." Oh, how true that sign is!! I'm sure God was laughing over my QCA withdrawal and email withdrawal!!
You see, even tho I'm in Arizona with my family of friends, I still need my QCA connection. I have to keep up to date so I'm not out of the loop when I return home in the spring. I'm making several friends on QCA and I can't loose touch and don't want anyone to think I've dropped off the face of the earth. So I had my plans...God laughed. The computer went down for a few days. Ugh! I woke up this morning and was in complete withdrawal! Thank goodness it was a warm, sunny day. I went for a long walk and visited my former landlords since I'm staying in my former neighborhood. Hmmm....do you think that was God's plan???
Mailed in my application to adopt a rescued Havanese 18-month old puppy named Indy. My pain management doctor has for 2 years now told me that I need a companion dog that can be trained as a therapy dog. Due to allergies, a Havanese is the only breed that I'm not allergic to. I have a friend who is hearing impaired that has a Havanese service dog also named Indie. I've spent a lot of time with her and have never had an allergy problem. Two years ago I had put my name on the Havanese rescue site. Last week they contacted me regarding 18-month old Indy. The adoption process was started yesterday so I was most anxious to look at my emails for any news. But of course the computer was down. I had my plans. God laughed. Today tho He didn't laugh long and the computer was fixed this afternoon. The first thing I did was check my email and yes there was a message. They just have to call my vet and I will have an answer sometime on Monday whether I'm approved to have Indy. Oh please Lord Jesus, let the answer be yes! Amen. I may be going home with a puppy!!
We humans always think that we have to be in control. God laughs! We need to remember it is HE that is in control, not us. And Amen to that!
Since my car accident 4 years ago, I have survived because of my friends here in Arizona. Moving back home to Ohio and becoming a shut-in, I discovered that my old friends were no longer...I don't know how to put it into words. They were happy to hear from me, come on over, oh you can't drive, gee that's too bad. I've never heard from them again. That has been hurtful and I've had to try to move on to make new friends. Not easy when you are a shut-in. They were really good friends in the past...that's it...in the past. As one of my best friends told me, when I moved away she had to make new friends too. God works in mysterious ways tho. One day I was on the internet and came across QCA. What a lifesafer you wonderful folks have been! And I'm making quilty friends too!
For Christmas I received a devotional from my Secret Sister called Whispers of Friendship. I would like to share today's with you called "Be Thankful for Friends": Dear God, thank You for my friends. Help me not to take them for granted...Remind me often how poor my life would be without the friends You've given me. Help me to enrich their lives as they have mine. Amen.
Thank you friends for all the encouragement, thoughts, prayers, and even criticism (I may not always take it well, but probably deserve it. I get over it.). Without you I would be depressed and lonely. With you I feel alive, more creative, more energetic, and ready to move ahead with this new year. So let's get those machines going! Get ready, get set, GO!!!!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Qwuickly Early Origins
Yorkshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century when they held a family seat in that shire at Wixley near Ripon.
Qwuickly Spelling Variations
Qwuickly Spelling Variations
Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Qwuickly family name include Quixley, Qwuickly, Quixlie and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Qwuickly surname or a spelling variation of the name include: John Quixsley, who came to South Carolina sometime between 1670 and 1696.

Gorgeous plant, not fussy about soil and pretty easy to grow from cuttings. I grew it in Zone7, well mulched. Will die back a bit in Z7, but generally comes back from the roots. Does well in shade too. However, many parts of this plant are very TOXIC!

It grows well in our z7 yard in north Alabama with full sun and regular water. The plants die back in winter, but so far (5 years) have come back full steam in the spring. I have yellow and pink and by late summer they are 6' tall and covered with blooms.

Nice leaves, bugs didn't bother this one, lovely scent I would say medium, stayed open all day today (overcast), love the tendrils on this one. Plant is 5 feet tall. Grew very well, as cutting was started in May "05. Like the beautiful yellow color too.


text: does this strike anyone else as extremely wrong? --------------------------------- Police in Canada's most populous province have the right to seize and destroy any car that has been modified for street racing, Ontario's top prosecutor claims. "If we can establish someone has parts and they're juicing up their car — obviously for the purpose of street racing — then we can seize those vehicles," Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant said Wednesday, according to the Canadian Press. "We will seize it and you will never see it again. We will crush your car, we will crush the parts." "We don't need to wait until that car hits the road fully loaded," he said, adding that modified cars are as dangerous as explosives, capable of causing catastrophic damage. Mr. Bryant was also an architect of Ontario's recent pit bull ban, which was designed to "protected from the menace" of "dangerous dogs," which he characterized as "nothing but a loaded weapon waiting to go off." Bryant's comments on modified cars seem to suggest Ontario's liberal government is exempt fromthe Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which states: "Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure." It's not known if Bryant's latest comments are an accurate reflection of Canadian or Ontario law, or if police will use this apparent power, but it's clear Ontario's police are getting tired of dangerous driving. "There is no excuse for street racing and aggressive driving, such as the high speeds and unsafe lane changes we have seen recently," Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Julian Fantino said in a recent press release. http://www.leftlanenews.com/canadian-province-claims-power-to-seize-destroy-modified-cars.html

Chicago Bulls: Who Is Their Ideal Matchup in the First Round of the Playoffs?April 10, 2013
Chicago Bulls: Who Is Their Ideal Matchup in the First Round of the Playoffs?
The Eastern Conference playoff picture has already been set, as all eight Eastern Conference playoff spots have been clinched. Despite that, there is still a great deal of jostling for position left. Theoretically, the Chicago Bulls could fall anywhere between fourth and seventh place in the East.
That being said, Chicago is in a position where match-ups could determine its playoff fate. Depending on where the pieces fall, it could be in its best interests to fall in the standings in order to gain a better match-up.
As is, there are three teams that Chicago could play in the first round of the playoffs: Indiana, New York and Brooklyn. Which team would it be best served playing in the first round?
New York Knicks
Even though the Knicks are rated as the highest seed of the potential opponents, New York may be the best matchup for Chicago to receive in the first round. The Bulls have won all three games against the Knicks this season, despite two being at Madison Square Garden.
Chicago matches up well against the Knicks. It can throw out two separate defenders who can take Carmelo Anthony in Luol Deng and Jimmy Butler. In the two games Melo appeared, he did score 68 points, but took 57 shots to get them.
Perhaps the best sign, however, is that Chicago showed that it could beat New York in a variety of different ways this season. In their first meeting, Chicago won behind a barrage of threes and by rebounding.
In the second matchup, Chicago outrebounded the Knicks by 11 and held them under 42-percent shooting from the field. In the third game, the Bulls won a shootout, where Luol Deng scored 33 and Chicago shot 57 percent from the field. No matter how the Knicks attack, Chicago has a defense.
The critical point is that the Bulls have been relatively healthy against the Knicks. The only players who have missed the games are Derrick Rose and Richard Hamilton, who have been out of mind for much of the season.
However, in a playoff series, it is highly likely that Deng and Noah will play through any pain, and Gibson and Rose could potentially be back—depending on how their bodies react—which would cause New York all kinds of problems.
The Bulls play the Knicks on Thursday, April 11, which will be a nationally televised game on TNT. Chicago comes into the game heavily hindered by injuries, likely being without Rose, Deng, Gibson and Noah. New York is currently blazing hot on a thirteen game win streak, so this will be a test whether Chicago can truly find ways to win in a high pressure situation.
Indiana Pacers
If Chicago falls to the No. 6 seed, it would face the Indiana Pacers in round one. The Bulls this season are merely 1-3 against the Pacers, but won the most recent game against them on March 23, 87-84.
If one thing is certain, it is that a series between the Pacers and Bulls will be the ultimate grind. The Pacers are ranked top in the league in defensive efficiency, and Chicago was in the top five for most of the season until injuries hurt its numbers. The Pacers and Bulls are second and third, respectively, in points allowed per game and are both in the bottom 10 in points scored per game.
As mentioned before, the Pacers beat the Bulls in the season series 3-1, but the margins were close. There was only one game decided by double figures on either side, and that was a game which Joakim Noah missed. Regardless of regular season meetings, these teams will fight hard and play close in the playoffs.
It is difficult to gauge how much we can read into any of these games, because both teams could be vastly different heading into the playoffs. We know for certain that Indiana forward Danny Granger is out for the season, which will free up Luol Deng to play defense on Paul George full time. However, there are many unknowns surrounding the Bulls due to their injuries.
A first-round series against the Pacers would be a dogfight, and it may not be in either team's best interests to have such a strenuous first-round series.
Brooklyn Nets
As things stand presently on April 10, Chicago is slated to play the fourth-seeded Brooklyn Nets in the first round. The Nets and Bulls met four times this season, and Chicago won three of the four meetings, including twice without Joakim Noah.
The Nets are an interesting team to play because there are some similarities between the two teams. The teams are led at the point guard position, but the best players on the floor right now might actually be at the center position, with Joakim Noah and Brook Lopez going against each other.
The key difference is that Chicago has one of the top defenses in the league, and that is what has set them apart in the regular season matchups.
In the regular season meetings, Chicago held Brooklyn to 93, 90, 85 and 82 points. In each matchup, the Bulls won through one of two distinct reasons: Rebounding or defense. In one of the meetings, Chicago held Brooklyn under 40-percent shooting from the field. In the other meeting, it outrebounded the Nets by 16.
In the only double-digit win among the four, Chicago did have an outlier where the it shot over 50 percent from the field, but that will not be typical heading into the playoffs.
The last meeting between the Bulls and Nets was an epic fourth-quarter comeback on April 4, and that was without Joakim Noah. If the Bulls and Nets meet in the playoffs, Chicago will likely have the upper hand, despite Brooklyn having the higher seed.
In an ideal world, the Bulls want to avoid Indiana early on. It is not an issue about whether the Bulls have the ability to beat the Pacers, because they do; it is simply that the Pacers would cause the most problems offensively.
The Knicks and Nets are both teams that Chicago has the ability to handle. The Bulls have high levels of success against both of the New York teams, and they have personnel that have caused both teams grief, whether it be Jimmy Butler against the Knicks, or the Bulls' frontcourt against the Nets.
As things stand, the Bulls will likely play Brooklyn in the four-versus-five series. This does not put them on an ideal side of the bracket, as they will have to play Miami in round two if they advance. However, a series against Brooklyn gives them the best chance to warm up and move on to the second round.
If Derrick Rose returns in the playoffs, Brooklyn would likely still be the ideal team to play. Rose has had tremendous success against Deron Williams in his career, and Brooklyn's post defense has generally been lacking relative to the Tyson Chandler-led Knicks and Roy Hibbert-led Pacers.
Regardless, the Brooklyn Nets are the best matchup for the Bulls heading into the playoffs.

WATCH: Justin Bieber Surprises Teen Who Survived Home Explosion (VIDEO)
Justin Bieber surprised a teenage burn victim named Kilee Brookbank on Thursday's episode of "The Doctors." Watch below!
The 16-year-old from Ohio miraculously survived a massive fire two months ago when, after smelling a strange odor, she lit a candle and her home exploded. Kilee was taken by helicopter to a hospital, where it was determined she suffered burns on 45 percent of her body, 20 percent of which were third degree. Her recovery has been deemed "incredible," particularly since her burns were "potentially deadly." But while her singed hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes have since grown back, Kilee still needs several skin graft surgeries, and her injuries will require constant care for the rest of her life.
After celebrating Kilee's progress thus far, the show played a special video message from Bieber that left the teen all smiles. She had no idea, though, that the superstar was also at the studio. Bieber crept on stage holding a bouquet of flowers, and surprised Kilee from behind. "Oh my god," she exclaimed when the singer threw his arms around her.
"First of all," he told Kilee, "I just want to say how proud I am of you." He went on, "I think the message I want to get out there is that you inspire us so much. I think you inspire everybody in this audience, everybody across the world. You inspire me. And I just wanted to come here. I couldn't just do a video. I had to actually come see you." Check out the emotional videos below!

18 Cringeworthy Pictures Of Rich People Trying To Look Like Punks
Last night, the annual Met Gala asked its wealthy and famous guests to dress for the theme "Punk: Chaos to Couture."
Most of the party-goers — including Hollywood celebrities, fashion's elite, and power players — were totally stumped.
Some ignored the punk theme completely or tried to tastefully incorporate it in the form of spikes, leather, or mesh.
But a select few really took the idea and ran with it, for better or worse.
Now see pictures of socialites trying to look "punk" at the Met Gala > »

5days a week? too much
maybe 1-2 time a week
4iu once
kirk...with that kind of dose your not going to see any results for a very long time.
my advice is a minimum of 4iu at lease 6 days a week. yes...stack it with a low dose of test. like 400 mg weekly....cyp, sust, or enan
581470451....i looked at your website and its clear NUTROPIN.COM is not a site that's used to selling to bodybuilders. I believe your product may be good. i too live in China and i would say there are some great sources here, but it seems your knowledge of the appropriate dose for a bodybuilder is a little off.
4iu once or twice a week would do absolutely nothing for you Kirk.
if you plan on using growth...be in it for the long haul. 4-6 months straight at a minimum.
good luck.
shes a goofball to. just trying to sell stuff she nos nothing about. shes like wfc2010 a idiot.
Morning…. is 2iu's a day and insulin not Sunday... is that a good start i picked up 5 kits was planing to do all 5 back to back with no break???? any input would be cool or a link to web site that will help me get info..

Clinton Raids D.C. Pension Fund To Pay For Teachers
November 12, 1998
Analysts have pointed to an ironic twist in President Clinton's plan to hire 100,000 new teachers. To do it, he's going to raid the assets of Washington, D.C.'s teacher pension plan, "reform" the district's pension fund so that it no longer invests in stocks and bonds, and give it the same pay-as-you-go structure as Social Security -- meaning no assets will remain in the trust fund.
How did it happen? Critics note President Clinton needed $1.1 billion for his teacher-hiring plan. Rather than cutting spending to offset new spending -- as required in the 1997 balanced budget agreement -- he found it in the D.C. fund, which is available because the federal government took over Washington's city government in 1997.
The fund contained $4.2 billion in assets, but its unfunded liabilities topped $4.8 billion. The problems started in 1980, when Washington was given home rule.
- President Carter deferred refunding the pension plan's $2.06 billion unfunded liability until his second term, which never came.
- Congress never made good on Carter's IOU, leaving the plan permanently underfunded.
- If the $2.06 billion had remained in the fund and been invested in the stock market, it would have grown to $5.5 billion, assuming a six percent rate of return -- more than covering the current unfunded liability.
- Despite being hobbled, the district board ran the plan well enough that if it had been fully funded in 1980, the plan would now be overfunded by at least $1.35 billion.
Thus, critics charge, the president and Congress did in one fell swoop what city officials couldn't do in 17 years: turn the pension system into a financial wreck. And while borrowing from the fund may help the White House with its short-term spending plans, it could harm thousands of teachers and cost taxpayers as much as $25 billion because of the fund's lost potential earnings.

- Handmade Yi Piao Yixing Zisha Teapot
Shi Piao Zisha Teapot is one of the many classical style Zisha teapots. However, this teapot is not the same with traditional Shi Piao Teapot style, which is based on Shi Piao Teapot and adding more lines and radians that women prefer, which is called by designers as "Yi Piao Teapot".
Made of high-quality raw ore - Zhu Ni, the body of this Yi Piao Teapot is slightly flat and the edge of the lid has a small gradient, which can be perfectly connected with the body from the side view. The style of the button on the lid looks like an arch bridge, and a hole in the middle is convenient for users to hold. The mouth of teapot is short and exquisite, which pours water smoother and faster. The handle and body are in a natural transition and the obliquely upward design of handle makes users more easily to hold and pour teas. It uses flat bottom design, which can make the lines of body softer and rounder and the more people see it, the more people will like it.
What's more, Zhu Ni has large contraction ratio, close texture and low rate of finished products, so in our daily brewing, we need to take care of this kind of teapot. Before brewing, we can warm the teapot first to avoid crack.
Delicate and exquisite handmade Yi Piao Yixing Zisha teapot is the first choice for women tea lovers.
Yixing County, the Pottery Capital of China, has a very long history of pottery making for around 6500 years. Yixing boasts abundant resources of argil, tea, bamboo and charcoal, all of which build the important material resource basis for making pottery. Yixing Zisha products have been awarded many prizes both in home and abroad, some excellent works have been presented as national gifts in international communications.
The maker of this teapot is Sun Wen who is a young female potter. She was born in Dingshu Village, Yixing, Jiangsu which is famous for pottery. Influenced by her parents, who were both potters, Sun was interested in Yixing purple clay form her childhood. She likes innovation and always studies hard to constantly improve her own craftsmanship. With time goes by, Sun has developed a distinctive style, the teapots made by her always look quaint, elegant and tasteful.
Because of the high iron content, the Zhuni teapot usually appeares reddish brown color, which is an attractive color to many tea lovers. And Zhuni has high contractibility, this made it very difficult to shape the perfect teapot, therefore even many finished products have with some corrugations. However, a well nurtured Yixing teapot will become smoother and glossier as time goes by.
The yixing teapot presents distinctive double pore surface covered with tiny corrugations on it, which makes the teapot able to breathe and reserves fragrance of tea. Therefore we recommend brewing one type of tea with one teapot.
Note: Warm the teapot with 40℃ - 50℃ water before pouring boiling water promptly into yixing Teapot, especially in cold winter. Yixing Teapot is fragile, please handle with care.

I think it's " the slogan's ream on greed, lust and power."
I always hear "this dark cartoon" too instead of dumb.
Anyway, this song is another Ministry rant on politics and society with great lyrical expression. It's about being forcefed dogmatic rules from the powers that be. It's about being forced to fit the "norm" of society. Of course, the singer is showing his intelligence by being able to uncover the ulterior motives of the authorities, and now views the entire social structure as something pathetic and despairingly laughable, "this dark cartoon." In the beginning society was "married" to the people living within that society, but now they have "divorced" due to the "callous whore, the cheating wife," which represents the governmental authorities presiding over the masses.

On Wednesday, it has been confirmed by E! News that Conor Kennedy has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor that derived from a bar fight that occurred in Aspen, Colorado this past December.
John Conor Kennedy is not only the ex-boyfriend of Taylor Swift but also happens to be the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy.
Now who would've guessed that John Conor Kennedy, who prefers to just be called Conor, would be such a bad boy?
Authorities told E! News that the 22-year-old was arrested on disorderly conduct charges.
In a press release, Aspen Assistant Chief Bill Linn stated, "At about 1:40 a.m. Aspen PD officers were dispatched to Bootsy Bellows…for a report of a person who was refusing to leave the premises. While officers were on scene dealing with that situation, they witnessed a fight occurring on the street in front of the bar. Officers tried to separate the two men, who were 'rolling around on the ground.'"
The press release also stated that Conor apparently "fell into a snowbank" when the officer tried to break the fight up. The officer on site had difficulty restraining Conor so a bystander stepped in to assist.
Witnesses came forward to describe "Kennedy throwing approximately four or five punches to the head of the other party. Kennedy was charged with disorderly conduct and was issued a court summons for Feb. 22, 2017, at 9 a.m. He was released without bond."
According to local reports, the police report states that Kennedy did apologize to the officer after he was arrested.
The charge carries a possible penalty of up to a year in jail and up to $2,650 fine.
E! News obtained a statement from Kennedy's attorneys, Matt Ferguson and Ryan Kalamaya on Friday are stating, "Multiple witnesses to the incident have reported that two men assaulted Conor Kennedy after he rebuked them for directing a homophobic slur and threats to his close friend. They also report that Mr. Kennedy was cooperative, compliant and respectful towards the police from the moment they arrived on the scene. Mr. Kennedy looks forward to a full airing of the incident."

Galvan researches drug to combat Alzheimer's
Updated 12:33 pm, Friday, August 17, 2012
Veronica Galvan likes to joke about the mice she works with, saying they get rewarded with teeny tiny martinis after they successfully complete a task. But what they're doing is actually pretty groundbreaking.
Galvan, an assistant professor at University of Texas Health Science Center's Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies department of physiology, is helping research the effects of rapamycin on memory. Through various testing methods, Galvan and her team of researchers have found the drug helps slow the aging process and could potentially improve the quality of life of people with Alzheimer's disease.
By teaching mice how to find their way out of a swimming pool using visual cues, the researchers are able to see whether the ones with Alzheimer's can remember their way out.
"What we found is it improves the (younger mice's) ability to learn new things," Galvan says. She adds that older mice also tend to remember significantly better when on a diet that includes rapamycin.
The drug would make an enormous impact in healthcare, both economically and in family time and care giving, she says. Rapamycin, which already is FDA approved and used for other diseases, could go through small clinical trials soon, Galvan says.

Galvan, who has been at UTHSC for three years, earned her Ph.D. at the University of Chicago and became enthralled with the biology of aging during her post-doctoral work in California.
Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Galvan says science has always fascinated her. A former Catholic school student, she credits a nun for her passion for the subject.
"I was hooked from a very early age," Galvan says, adding her school always had the most interesting books and artifacts because of Sister Valeria McCarthy. "She was a person that made such an impact. I wanted to be like Sister Valeria."
Although Sister Valeria died long before Galvan began working on such groundbreaking scientific research, she continues to leave her own legacy. When asked when her research would be over, she laughed and said, "Hopefully never.
"Success is making a contribution that is relevant and novel enough that it really opens up new avenues of investigation," she adds.

Radio and Optical Communication Lab, Rince Institute, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland
In this paper, we propose a multi-carrier THz wireless communication system using an injection-locked gain-switched laser as an optical comb source. The phase noise of the 192 GHz signal resulting from the beating of two optical comb lines is theoretically analyzed and experimentally examined. Moreover, a three channel, 10 Gbaud QPSK THz signal is generated, and transmission over 40 km standard single mode fiber (SSMF) is experimentally demonstrated.

lexus gx 460 : Toyota Halts Lexus GX 460 Sales, Stock Drops
Just several months ago, Toyota Motors Corp. had a recall of millions of their SUVs of various models due to a sticking gas pedal problem. This was followed by the incident of a runaway Toyota Prius who sped out of control because of the same gas pedal problem.
Toyota has not gained back its reputation after these incidents when its new Lexus GX 460 got another negative feedback this time from Consumer Reports. Accordingly, the magazine rated the new 2010 Lexus GX 460 "Don't Buy, Safety Risk" referring to the possibility of rollover accidents during sharp turns.
The SUV re-emerged with two black eyes. CR issued a "Don't Buy" rating and declared the GX 460 a "safety risk." Said TTAC's Edward Niedermeyer: "Expect GX460 sales to fall off a cliff until the model is fitted with an electronic straitjacket." Fall off a cliff? Sales are zero as of this morning.
Toyota "suspended sales of the 2010 Lexus GX 460" reports Automotive News [sub]. Toyota will be "vigorously testing" the luxo-SUV until they will know what's going on.
"At this time we have asked our dealers to temporarily suspend sales of the 2010 GX 460," said Lexus Group Vice President Mark Templin. If you have a Lexus GX 460, and you are worried, then your friendly Lexus dealer will provide you with a loaner until the matter is resolved, said Toyota in a statement.
Lexus, Toyota's luxury car division, said it was "puzzled" by the magazine's results since it conducts its own tests, and safety is a top priority. But Lexus said "we will take a very serious look at this and appreciate Consumer Reports' bringing it to our attention."
The magazine's action is another public-relations problem for Toyota, a company that probably figured public relations couldn't get any worse.
In addition to complaints about unintended acceleration and Prius brakes, there have been questions over whether the automaker was prompt in reporting problems to federal safety investigators. Most recently the federal government said it was seeking a $16.4 million fine, accusing the automaker of not acting quickly enough. The automaker responded it is "considering a response."
Laura Bush Killed a Guy ? real or fake
During an episode of Fox animated series 'Family Guy' the cartoon characters repeatedly said the phrase 'Lara Bush killed a guy.' Then later on many American mainstream newspapers have also covered the story and articles were boldly titled with the phrase 'Lara Bush killed a guy'.
But what really happened? Or what was the fake?
Now, the speculations about Laura Bush killed a guy issue was neither convincing nor humorous. I was hoping to find out the truth just like the many curious internet users who's trying to know more whether Laura Bush, regardless of what her name was at the time, killed somebody, whether it was a man, child, teenager, whatever.
They say the guy Laura Bush killed went along to Robert E. Lee High School in Texas. It is also said that Douglas was an attractive and intelligent man who was also nominated as the most popular at the school during his junior. Rumors have circulated that he was Laura Bush's girlfriend.
In March 2000, Laura Bush killed a guy question popped the news and she is reluctant to talk about the incident. While many allies Lara Bush clearly rejected the reports and some said that Laura Bush killed a guy's history is just a plot against her, a sick liberal arts, a democratic distraction, a smear campaign against a good woman and a revenge, because they can simply can not get over losing in 2000.
But what if Laura Bush killed a guy story was true?
Whether you wish to believe or not it's all up to you :)

One side is cut above the shoulder while the other comes down past and has a slight flip up at the end. The bangs are layered for a feathered appearance as they are swept to the longer side. Layering around the bottom prevents bushiness. Hot pink lipstick makes a pop statement and her forest green nail polish compliments the shades of nature in her skirt and hat.
