On February 26, 2010 my life changed forever. Not only did I give birth to my beautiful babies, I gave birth to them on my birthday! I think this is super cool but it also changes my special day of the year to "our" special day. One of the nurses in the hospital told me that there would be one person that always made sure I had my special day each year and that person would be my mom. The nurse was right. Months ago my mom started planning a day for us to get together to celebrate my birthday so I would have my own day. She did the same last year bringing a cookie cake to me a month after my birthday. This year we planned to have dinner in Knoxville and she would bring me a special dessert.
Before the celebrating began we had a little pre-celebration outside of best buy that included subway cookies. It was my pretend birthday, I can have as many desserts as I want.
LB did NOT want to look at the camera.
My cookie of choice, Double chocolate-chocolate chip. Yum!
After our pre-celebration cookie we headed into best-buy to get my lens fixed. Apparently the geek squad doesn't fix lenses so long story short (well sort of short) they returned my broken lens (we never really figured out what was wrong…I blamed the babies at first but I think something was defective in the ultrasonic motor) and gave us a gift card to order another off the internet because they do not sale it in stores. So, we headed to the camera department to place our order and it turns out they no longer are selling the 50 mm 1.5 lens! So, fast forward to today after two hours on the phone with best buy I have a 100 mm macro lens being shipped to me. Apparently they are discontinuing the 50 mm 1.4 and I am very sad about that and determined to find another one! I loved that lens. Anyway…
For lunch we dined at Calhoun's which is a local upscale BBQ/Bar and Grill restaurant. I ordered the bbq chicken salad and it was delicious.
For dessert my mom picked up cupcakes for all of us.
Lew had a red velvet with cream cheese icing.
I had a cookies and cream cupcake
These cupcakes were pretty good. I ate half in the restaurant and then when we got home I had a great idea. See, they were good but tasted like they had been sitting in a cooler so I put the second half in the microwave for about 12 seconds. Holy cow! It was so good!
Lots of sugar was consumed yesterday and we had an awesome day! I got a couple of gifts yesterday but my favorite gift was a sweet letter my sister wrote me! I have read it twice and cry every time. I love you Kirb! You are awesome and that letter meant the world to me!

Financial Literacy Month: IIROC encourages investors to use advisor database to help in making informed decisions
TORONTO, Nov. 1, 2012 /CNW/ - The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) is promoting its online IIROC AdvisorReport educational tool during Financial Literacy Month as a way to help investors when they are choosing or using an advisor.
Since IIROC launched this free service in 2010, members of the public and investment industry and other stakeholders have generated more than 113,000 IIROC AdvisorReports, which detail the backgrounds of the more than 22,000 investment advisors at over 200 IIROC-regulated investment firms in Canada.
IIROC is participating in today's national launch of Financial Literacy Month in Ottawa, by distributing investor resources and a new bookmark promoting the IIROC AdvisorReport service. The event is hosted by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC).
"Protecting investors is core to IIROC's mandate and investor education is an important element of investor protection," said Susan Wolburgh Jenah, IIROC President and CEO.
Investors need access to relevant information and tools to help them make informed decisions. The IIROC AdvisorReport is a popular and easily-accessible online tool that is helping investors in making informed choices about working with individuals at IIROC-regulated firms.
Each IIROC AdvisorReport provides information about an advisor's educational qualifications, employment history with IIROC-regulated firms, the services and products that he or she is approved by IIROC to offer and a record of disciplinary cases, if any, with direct links to related documents.
Other investor education tools and resources available on IIROC's website include brochures, webcasts and online tutorials on:
- How to make a complaint to your firm, or to IIROC directly;
- Exploring the range of dispute resolution options available to help investors when they are seeking compensation; and
- Learning how trading works with "IIROC's Guide to Trading on Equity Markets."
IIROC is the national self-regulatory organization which oversees all investment dealers and trading activity on debt and equity marketplaces in Canada. Created in 2008 through the consolidation of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada and Market Regulation Services Inc., IIROC sets high quality regulatory and investment industry standards, protects investors and strengthens market integrity while maintaining efficient and competitive capital markets.
IIROC carries out its regulatory responsibilities through setting and enforcing rules regarding the proficiency, business and financial conduct of dealer firms and their registered employees and through setting and enforcing market integrity rules regarding trading activity on Canadian equity marketplaces.

Hey guys,
I'm currently a senior at Springfield College and I'll be graduating in May 08'. I currently have an internship i'm starting at Xvivo and by the time I graduate I'll be fairly comfortable with Maya/XSI and Zbrush. I'm kinda interested in getting into the game industry since my interests coincide with that kinda stuff, though movies aren't off the list or anything.
So I was wondering what should I expect when I graduate, how hard its going to be to find a job, what to expect for salary and ect. I feel i'm pretty good at what I do for only doing it for a short amount of time and a quick learner if that helps.
My website incase you wanna add anything about it
Thanks guys

Thank You, Susi Ming
Each day, as we approach Thanksgiving, we will spotlight an animal rescuer who works tirelessly to improve the lives of animals in need. Please join us in giving thanks to these generous, kind, and oh so pawesome folks.
I first learned about Bull Terrier Rescue a couple years ago. My husband spotted a strong, white bullie named Trieste being walked by her BTR foster mom, less than a block from our house. She met our feisty Boston terrier, they played like toddlers, I learned what hucklebutting was, and we sat down and considered adopting her. In the end, the timing wasn't right, but we definitely developed a soft spot for these stocky, sweet eggheads.
Whether they're the Target dog, Spuds MacKenzie, or "oh, it's General George Patton's dog" to you, bull terriers seem to find themselves in popular culture time and time again. They've certainly found a place in the heart of Susi Ming, President and Executive Director of the San Francisco-based Bull Terrier Rescue. In fact, they have since Susi was 10 and on a family trip to Hong Kong. A bull terrier rolled by in a convertible (not driving), and she was in love.
"I couldn't stop talking about how beautiful that dog was," she said.
Susi adopted her first bull terrier some 20 years ago, and she's been involved in rescuing them for at least 15. She now heads an organization, the rescue arm of Barbary Coast Bull Terrier Club, that helps an estimated 125 dogs per year.
Space in our urban environment is the trickiest part of this rescue operation. Many foster families live in small apartments, contending with roommates, landlords, and pet deposits. One bullie is often the maximum. And, if a foster family falls in love with one of their charges, that usually takes them off the list for future fostering needs. One strategy is kenneling: BTR has a kennel near Santa Rosa that holds some 12-15 bullies at a time.
The internet has proven both a blessing and a curse for rescue operations, Susi says. On one hand, you've got a network of eyes and ears at your fingertips. The organization's Facebook Page, piloted by Susi, has been especially helpful for spreading the word about the dogs and finding potential foster homes for the night, week, or month. People googling "surrender my bull terrier" find links upon links to BTR's website. On the other hand, easy-to-post Craigslist ads — I once saw one proposing a washing-machine-for-dog exchange — abound, strengthening a pattern of sometimes accidental animal endangerment. Well-meaning posters sometimes don't even realize the dangers of a "free to a good home" ad. In some of the saddest cases, Susi said you can find ads seeking $25 in exchange for a bull terrier that will be sold to a lab for research.
Susi says she employs a proactive strategy at times: contacting the ad-posters directly and asking them if they could (please) at least spay or neuter the dog before handing it out. Often, they hear that they just don't have time or money to do it. Though it can be costly in time and money to arrange, BTR will take the animal in and start reviewing their options. Once that's taken care of, the adoption wheels are set in motion.
Sometimes, a fix is all they need. Other times, there are more serious, costly issues: mange, orthopedic surgery, or unidentifiable internal issues. Scarlett, pictured above, is still being evaluated for her mystery health problems. What to do, in this case, when the medical costs start piling up?
The organization simply asks for donations, which compose the bulk of their revenue. Susi says the group tries to be judicious about when and how much it asks for money. Thanks to a generous online network, there are many success stories about even the sickest dogs that came her way.
San Francisco and Northern California thank Susi and BTR for their hard work. Viva eggheads!
Visit the Bull Terrier Rescue website for info on donating to the group or fostering or surrendering a dog.

Cadbury appears to be readymade for social marketing as it is a historic brand with products that people love.
However it hasn't simply rested on its laurels and expected the 'likes' to come rolling in.
In the past year we've reported on Cadbury's use of Facebook and Google+ for product launches, as well as its shift away from traditional media thanks to its success in social media.
Therefore I thought it would be interesting take a closer look at how the brand uses Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+.
This post is the latest in a series that has already examined the social strategies of several other major consumer brands, including ASOS, Tesco, McDonald's and Red Bull.

Once the preserve of hipsters and mums, Pinterest has just taken another step towards solidifying its status as a valuable channel for digital marketers by unveiling a free analytics dashboard.
The tool allows businesses to track who is pinning content from their website, the type of content that is proving to be most popular, and how people interact with the pins.
Product manager Cat Lee told Reuters that "the goal is really to help websites understand what content is resonating with people on Pinterest".
But at the moment the tool appears to be quite basic, so how useful is it really for social media managers? And how will it impact brand content strategies? To shed some light on the new developments, I asked three social media experts for their opinions.
And if you want to learn more about Pinterest, check out our new Pinterest for Business Best Practice Guide.

In the latest instalment of our blog series looking at how brands make use of the four major social networks, I've decided to take a closer look at McDonald's.
McDonald's is one of the most recognisable brands in the world, yet also has to battle a fair amount of negative publicity, so one would assume that its social accounts would be extremely active.
This blog follows on from similar posts looking at the social strategies of ASOS, Walmart, Starbucks and Red Bull, among others.
And without further ado, here is a quick look at how McDonald's uses Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+...

Starbucks is often touted as having an excellent social strategy, so it's an excellent subject for our series of posts looking at how brands use the four main social networks.
Having previously evaluated a number of brands including Red Bull, ASOS, Walmart and Ikea, it appeared that the brands that were doing well in social all followed the same basic blueprint – they post updates several times a day and are excellent at responding to consumers.
But as this post shows, Starbucks has managed to outperform nearly all other consumer brands in terms of community engagement despite taking the exact opposite approach.
And there is a special mention for Starbucks' Instagram feed at the end as well...

Competitions are increasingly popular among brands using Pinterest and are a good way to increase the virality of content by encouraging users to spread branded images across the Pinterest network.
It can also be a useful, if slightly cynical way of quickly boosting your number of followers.
This is no different from the way that businesses have been using Facebook for years, and we recently pointed out eight examples of brands that have run Instagram competitions.
Our new Pinterest for Business Best Practice Guide includes advice on how to run competitions on the platform, including analysis of real life examples.

In the latest instalment of our blog series looking at how different brands use the main social networks, I've decided to shine the spotlight on Ikea.
The Swedish furniture manufacturer is probably one of the most recognisable brands on the planet, and its catalogues are full of striking visuals that are perfect for sharing via social.
Ikea has also just found itself caught up in the horsemeat scandal, so it's the perfect time to see how it is using Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ for customer engagement.
For comparison, I've previously looked at how Walmart, Tesco, Red Bull, John Lewis and ASOS use the four main social networks.

The internet economy may be one of the brightest spots in today's global economy, but the hits taken by shares of publicly-traded prominent internet brands like Facebook, Zynga and Groupon has definitely had an impact on venture backed companies, many of which have had and will have a more difficult time convincing investors that they're worth as much as they might have been able to convince them they're worth a couple of years ago.
You wouldn't know that, however, looking at Pinterest's latest funding round, which made headlines last week. The image-based social network is on the verge of becoming the second most popular social media site in the United States, and despite the fact that it hasn't figured out how to make money, investors poured $200m into the young company at a $2.5bn valuation.

Despite its reputation for having a predominately female audience, Pinterest is proving to be a successful hunting ground for menswear brands.
New research shows that Topman has more than double the follower count of any other UK retailer and is also adding to its community faster than its competitors.
The eDigitalResearch Social Media Benchmark found that Topman has 87,959 followers, compared to 26,594 for Net-A-Porter and 24,847 for ASOS.
Pinterest has developed from a niche social network into an important marketing tool in little more than 12 months, with its focus on striking visuals and imagery making it the perfect platform for retailers and lifestyle brands.
To help brands take advantage of this opportunity, Econsultancy has published a new Pinterest for Business Guide aimed at companies and individuals who are thinking of joining Pinterest and want to find out more about the social platform, as well as people who are currently using Pinterest and want a deeper understanding of best practice.

I spent a number of years as a social media manager - first for PayPal, then giffgaff and, most recently, I was the corporate community manager for the BBC. I feel a strong affinity to those behind the brand handle after being through the wars myself. It's not uncommon to spend sleepless nights at a keyboard, or take a night bus home so you can stay above ground to tweet during an issue ,or be attached to your phone on your only vacation in months. This is the current state of our community directors and their staff.
It was great to see Ogilvy feature three social community managers on their recent panel, The Rise of the New Community Manager, as part of Social Media Week. The panelists included Karen Untereker, U.S. Manager, Social Media at Ford Motor Company, Ariel Norwood, Online and Social Media Team Leader, Northeast Region, Whole Foods Market and Vanessa Wojtusiak, Head of Social Marketing, iHeartRadio and was moderated by Rachel Caggiano, Senior Vice President, Social@Ogilvy.

According to Toprank CEO Lee Odden's recent SES London session, content marketing at its very minimum needs to include: brand leadership, customer empathy, storytelling and creativity.
Here are three reasons why some of that creativity should be visual, regardless of your brand or industry.

Mickey R. Wilhelm Solar Flight Competition
The Conn Center supports a friendly competition on solar-powered model flight every spring. The goals of the competition are to engage UofL engineering students, inspire high school and middle school students, and promote solar and other renewable energy forms. Faculty mentors from the J.B. Speed School of Engineering recruit groups of students to design, build, and fly model scale aircraft. These creations solely utilize solar energy as their source of power, either from a solar powered charging station or by direct solar conversion through aircraft-mounted cells. Craft may include airplanes, helicopters, ornithopters, balloons, zeppelins, air screws, saucers, etc. as long as they are powered by solar energy. The competition is named the "Mickey R. Wilhelm Solar Flight Competition" in honor of the Speed School's eighth dean and his dedication to student achievement.
The Conn Center provides $400 seed money to each team. These funds are to be used to purchase supplies and aircraft necessary for completing the competition. Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places for the fastest 100-yard flights. Teams display their solutions during the Speed School's E-Expo the first weekend of March and compete in flight trials in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium in April. Info - contact Andrew Marsh at 502/852-8597 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Design and build of solar powered aircraft and ancillary systems
- Flight time, as measured from the time the craft launches until it crosses 100-yards distance.
Qualifying Guidelines:
- If used, charging time is included in the total time; charging stations do not have to fly.
- Comment: All craft using charging stations must start with dead batteries. Depleted battery state must be demonstrated prior to charging.
- Flights are released from 10 ft or lower height.
- All aircraft must be unmanned and model scale. Craft may be scratch built or modified off the shelf. Lighter than air vehicles and components are permitted.
- All craft must be able to fly, be controllable, and cross a 100-yard distance.
- The primary power source for the craft's propulsion must be solar.
Comment This might include solar panels on the wings, or on-board batteries that were charged by solar panels, direct heating by the sun, etc. Biofuel-powered flights and other solutions utilizing force magnifiers are allowed but will be penalized on a case-by-case basis (i.e., using ratios of power densities based on weight will be used to determine the penalty for time. Because of short distance, the biofuel-powered flight will have the advantage and thus the penalty will be applied depending on the biofuel system employed). - Craft must not exceed 250 feet flight altitude.
Comment: Access is granted by the FAA for the use of the airspace above Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, site of the Flight Trial. - Craft must remain visible by the naked eye at all times.

Dick B. Books Soon to Add Electronic Books - eBooks
Books by Dick B. have been available as print books--and, more recently, as Print-On-Demand (P.O.D.) books--for many years. We are about to make some of those books available as electronic books (also known as "e-books," "ebooks," "eBooks," and "digital books"). An electronic book is a book-length publication in digital form which is readable on computers and other electronic devices, such as dedicated hardware devices known as eReaders or eBook devices. Personal computers and some cell phones can also be used to read eBooks.
These "eBooks" will soon be available through major online retail outlets such as Amazon (via the Kindle devices and apps), Apple's iBookstore (iBooks for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices), Barnes & Noble (via the Nook devices), Google eBookstore, Sony (via the Reader devices), Diesel, Kobo (via the eReader devices), and over 1,000 more eBook worldwide distribution sites, such as schools, universities, private book clubs, retail stores, and other outlets that have secure internal databases within their intranets. |

HoopsHype Thaddeus Young rumors
While attention in Philadelphia is focused on the future of free-agent center Andrew Bynum, none of his rivals would be surprised if Hinkie used this week to begin a shakeup. Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young and Spencer Hawes would be the Philadelphia veterans who would draw the most interest, depending on Hinkie's yet-to-be-defined preferences. SI.com
Teammates Thaddeus Young called Hawes' past month "ridiculous." "We're going to try to keep that ridiculousness going," Young said. "Spencer's been playing great. When he's playing with that type of energy, that type of intensity, he makes it better for all of the guys on the team." phillyburbs.com
The Magic's overall ATH score is 0.913, which is comfortably behind the New Orleans Hornets' mark of 0.926 for last in the league. Orlando's most athletic players are rookie forward Maurice Harkless, second-year forward Tobias Harris, and veteran big man Glen Davis. Entering Wednesday's games, Harkless ranked as the league's 120th most athletic player. No other team in the league had its most athletic player ranked so low overall; the Philadelphia 76ers, with gadget forward Thaddeus Young (85th in the league), came closest to matching the Magic in this respect. Orlandoinstripedpost.com
After Monday's win over the Trail Blazers, Thaddeus Young said he would welcome back Bynum – an unrestricted free agent – for next season, assuming he was fully healed from the arthroscopic surgery on both knees. "Many guys have had knee surgeries and things done to them surgically and they've come back even better," Young said. "It's all about (Bynum) getting back to the gym, getting back his rhythm and getting into the groove of basketball. Sixers Dish
Young is one of the hardest-working players in the league, and he's one of the guys in the league that every coach knows plays hard every single game. In the last five games, not long after coming back from a hamstring injury, Young has averaged 20.6 points on 69.4 percent shooting (50 of 72). In the last three games Young has pulled down 12, 10 and 15 rebounds per game. So get a good look at him now. The Sixers don't want to trade him, but no one is going to be calling them this summer and not bring up his name. Philadelphia Inquirer
Thaddeus Young was told he could expect to miss about three weeks with a hamstring injury, yet the sixth-year 76ers forward was trying to look on the bright side. An MRI exam on Tuesday revealed a Grade 1 left hamstring strain that occurred in the second quarter of Monday's 78-61 win over the visiting Orlando Magic. "Considering how it felt and me feeling like a rubber band popping, you think it's much worse than it is," Young said Tuesday after the Sixers finished practice. "You just thank God it wasn't a season-ending injury or that I could have been out two months." Philadelphia Inquirer
The 76ers have also made inquiries about big men around the league, a likely indication that they're not expecting Andrew Bynum on the court any time soon -- or, at least, not expecting him to be very effective when he comes back. Other than Jrue Holiday, I'm told, no one is off limits -- though it would take something immense to get Philly to part with Thaddeus Young or Evan Turner. NBA.com
Adam Aron: Coach Collins named Sixers Captains for 2012-2013 team today. Jrue Holiday, Thad Young, Jason Richardson. This team is SO fun to watch Twitter @SixersCEOAdam
Tom Moore: #Sixers likely to start Holiday, J-Rich, Turner (if ankle OK), T Young & Allen in opener. Wayns, N Young, Wright, Hawes. Kwame(?) off bench. Twitter @tmoorepburbs
Philadunkia: We heard you got married recently. Congratulations. How's married life treating you? Thaddeus Young: It's cool. It's like, it was just like paperwork. philadunkia.com
But when the Sixers line 'em in the season opener against Denver on Oct. 31, expect Young to start the game on the bench. "I'd like to continue to play Thad off the bench. I like his energy and his attitude he brings to us," Collins said earlier this week when the team introduced Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson. CSNPhilly.com
"From all the reports I got, he has his weight up to 229 pounds — he finished the season at 215," Collins said. "The one thing with Thad is if you put him with a big guy that protects him, it makes him much better. So we think he's going to be even better with Kwame and Andrew, who is going to be an even bigger help with the speed and quickness he plays with. Thad is going to be a big part of what we do." CSNPhilly.com
A league source said the interest in Williams throughout the league is "significant" and that a contract to land him could be "in the Thaddeus Young range." Before this past season, Young signed a 5-year deal worth close to $43 million. Philadelphia Inquirer
Tom Moore: #Sixers (Thaddeus) Young: "(My ankle's) been bothering me a little. We're in the semis trying to get to the (East) finals – everybody has to show up." Twitter
Sixers forwards Thaddeus Young and Elton Brand are both expected to play in tonight's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Boston. The Sixers said Brand has a strained neck that is impacting the left side of his body. He saw a chiropractor Sunday and was still sore Monday during the team's light shootaround. Brand said the neck has been bothering him for about a week. Philadelphia Inquirer
Thaddeus Young sat courtside after Sunday's film/shooting session at TD Garden with an ice pack wrapped around his right shin. While the team relayed to the media during Game 1 Saturday that he had sprained his right ankle, Young cleared up the injury a bit Sunday. "I actually got kneed in the shin, which caused me to roll my ankle a little bit, but it was the shin that hurt," Young said. "I tried to run it out but it kind of spasmed up a little bit. I'll be fine. I'll definitely play [in Game 2 Monday night]." Philadelphia Inquirer
If Rose's injury keeps him out for a significant period of time, that would affect the entire landscape of the Eastern Conference playoffs, starting with this first series with the 76ers. "It definitely changes things a lot," Philadelphia forward Thaddeus Young said. "Derrick Rose is one of their key guys. He's the guy who initiates everything, the one that gets them going. "It's an unfortunate situation. You definitely don't want to see him go down like that in the first game in the first round of the playoffs. At the end of the game, I think he should have been out at that time, but you just hope for the best and hope that he's OK." CSN Chicago
Thaddeus Young knows these are the words that came out of Iguodala's mouth, mostly because he was an eyewitness when Iguodala walked up to Williams in front of a few teammates and apologized. "I think it was all taken out of context," Young said Saturday before the Sixers played a crucial game against Orlando. "I think it was more of a joke than anything. We have always had inside jokes about Lou not playing defense. But we know what each and every person brings to the table. Dre probably said it, but it was taken out of context. Personally, when I heard it I knew he was playing, just because I know Dre." Philadelphia Inquirer
Sixers coach Doug Collins said it's no mystery as to why forward Thaddeus Young had one of his worst games of the season Wednesday against the Knicks. Collins said it's because Young's weight is down to 213 pounds, or two less pounds than guard Evan Turner. "My two-guard weighs more than my power forward," Collins said. He said Young's weight loss stems from the upper respiratory virus that he had two weeks ago that kept him out of the game March 7 against the Celtics. Typically, Young weighs around 220 pounds, although Collins would like him to be 225 pounds. Courier-Post

If Illinois is going to repeat its run to a BCS bowl game this fall it's going to have to start on defense and up front. With the loss of Big Ten MVP Rashard Mendenhall from the backfield and no adequate replacements on the horizon, Ron Zook is going to have find alternate means of getting the pressure off the talented, but erratic, Juice Williams.
Defense can be the way it's done. Illinois brings back three starters on the D-Line and are expecting big things from new senior starter Will Davis on the end. The Illini also have both cornerbacks returning in Vontae Davis and Dere Hicks. A combination of a good pass rush and strong play on the corners can provide enough cover for inexperience at safety and make the D a good overall unit.
And that will be necessary because of the offensive problems mentioned. Illinois brings back some good talent in the passing game. Indeed, Herb Gould of The Chicago Sun-Times reports on how the air attack is being unharnessed for sophomore receiver Arrelious Benn. The speedy wideout is joined by fellow returnees Kyle Hudson and tight end Michael Hoomanawanui. But it all comes back to Williams and consistency behind center. He's never had to be the man in his college career, and Mendenhall's early departure places that burden squarely on him.
The schedule does Illinois no favors. They open with Missouri, and have conference road games at Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan. And revenge-minded Ohio State comes calling in the penultimate game of the regular season.
Zook has this program moving quickly in the right direction. But to repeat last year's performance requires more of his recruits to step in before they are ready. It's tough to see the Illini winning more then eight games, and 7-5 or 6-6 looks more realistic this time around.

What are the actual chances of these states winning at court and how much damage they can actually do to each other?

a snippet
It was the hottest day of the year 1999, but Adam was most definitely not partying. Adam was a thirteen-year-old acned and bespectacled teenager, and Adam was bored.
He wanted to ring Rob. Rob would know what to do. But Rob was still grounded from the last time they had both gotten 'bored' and attempted to drive Rob's dad's car. It had quite literally ended in tears. Rob's dad's tears.
Adam felt like doing something productive. His mother was always telling him to 'do something productive', so why not start now? After all, she got to where she was now by 'being productive'.
Where exactly that was though, Adam was unsure. His mother described herself as 'the journalist for the people', but Adam got the impression that that wasn't really a thing. He decided to investigate.
He knew where his mother kept her old articles, and so he snuck into her room and climbed onto a chair to reach the upper shelves of her wardrobe. I'll just read one article, and then I'll be inspired! He thought. He didn't know why she kept them hidden away anyway, if she was so eager for him to follow in her footsteps. He was very mature. Everyone knew that adulthood began at thirteen anyway. He picked a paper at random, closed the wardrobe, and took it to his room. Settling himself down for a motivational experience, he found the marked page in the newspaper, and began to read the circled columns.
Dear Dorothy*,
I've been too scared to admit this for a long time, but I think my husband might be having an affair. We have been married for 22 years (22 blissful years) but recently he hasn't been behaving like himself. He does nothing but read the Telegraph and refuses to eat meat. Not only that, I found a tooth on his bedside table. It's not one of his, and it certainly isn't one of mine. I don't know what to do. Please help.
Anxious, Somerset
Dear Anxious
I'm very sorry to hear about your predicament. A friend of mine actually went through something very similar not too long ago. But her story ended very gruesomely and so we shan't delve into it now.
Have you considered taking the tooth in for examination? Though you must be awfully frightened, there is no need to jump to conclusions at this point in time. What makes you so sure that it is not your husband's tooth? It is always possible that the tooth may belong to him, and that as a result of the distress of it falling out, he is avoiding tough, chewy meats, and reading copious amounts in order to replace the tooth-breaking foods with some 'food for thought'. That, or he is involved in sexual relations with a female colleague, and is acting out some kind of sick and twisted Tooth Fairy fetish.
Either way you should probably just ask him. If you are too meek to do so, do write again and I will be able to put you in touch with some excellent dental radiographers.
I was just wondering if you had any tips for me to spice up my sex life. My partner and I were interested in trying something wild and crazy, and were wondering what you would suggest.
Frisky, Nuneaton
Dear Frisky,
Thank you for your letter! Let me give you a detailed list of the things my husband and I have tried

Middle Georgians Celebrate Veterans Day
MILLEDGEVILLE, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Jack Grantham, a World War II veteran, spent Monday remembering and honoring the young men that fought in his unit back in 1944.
When Grantham was 22 years old, he was preparing to complete his final mission in Japan. But as his crew flew over the Pacific Ocean, the plane was shot down. Grantham held on debris for 18 hours before his crew was finally rescued. Three of the men didn't survive.
"Whenever they come back and there are parades and accolades, and all that I think of those three at the back end of the plane," Grantham said, "There won't be any parades or promotion for them."
Grantham attended his first Veterans Day Parade in Milledgeville on Monday. He spent the day watching Georgia Military College march and perform, listening to patriotic songs and sharing lots of stories of combat.
"It was amazing," Grantham said, "if God willing, I will be back next year."
The city of Milledgville celebrated Veterans Day at the Georgia War Veterans Home. It's a celebration, Milledgeville Mayor Richard Bentley is proud to be a part of.
"We try to make sure we celebrate everyday," Bentley said, "but particularly on Veterans Day, when we actually showcase that it's their day."
For Grantham it's just a day to catch up with old friends. He doesn't look at himself as a hero, he says it's all in a days work.

Good to see the tourists start at Taunton on the road to dishearten the bowlers then off to Floodville. Can see them turning up well undercooked for Trent Bridge.
Two games doesn't seem enough preparation, but I guess most of the team will be over there already with the Champions Trophy.
If they were serious, they'd have the non-ODI playing guys over in England for a good two to three weeks before the tour started.

Sandy Ketchen, the driver from my hotel and I are not so far from the airport that the jet engines can't be heard faintly in the distance. Still, the night is balmy and anticipatory. Or maybe the night is just the night and I'm the one who is anticipatory.
But that's because I know - and the froggies probably don't - that tomorrow, their love songs will be completely drowned out when thousands of spectators, journalists, politicians, proud citizens and eager aviation geeks descend on the Boeing 787 assembly plant here in Charleston, South Carolina. Tomorrow, you see, the first product finished here will roll off the line.

Eee Gads! Tonight I told my friend, retired airline captain Fred Arenas, "There are so many stories here I don't know where to start." There's the story of the plane, late by a couple of years, sure, but still "game changing" as the Boeing folks constantly insist.
There's the story of the community that wooed the factory and won and the story of the company that did an end run around its union by creating 3800 jobs in a right-to-work state. There's the still-to-be written story of what will be the long-term effect of that business decision on the economy of Boeing's other manufacturing center that be the one on the other side of the country. Wait a minute, that's a lot of stories to be written.
Right. Okay. Tomorrow, I'll get on that.
Tonight, let me just go back and in the spirit of the chirping bullfrogs oblivious to the chaos into which they will be thrust in the morn, and wax a little soppy about the 787 I've experienced so far.
Capt. Desta Zeru flew the Dreamliner into Bole Airport |
I've visited the factory in Everett, Washington but I've only seen the real-live-flying Dreamliner once, when Boeing and Ethiopian Airlines Capt. Desta Zeru flew it into Africa in December 2011. She was parked on the tarmac at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa preening in the sun for three days.
That first impression was a good one. From the outside it is beautiful. On the inside it is light-filled and spacious. In operation it is ecological. And for all the ambivalence associated with why the plant is here, it is infusing the residents of this southern town with a sense of pride and purpose for the role they are playing in turning the dream into a reality.
The truck says, "follow me" |

Just had a wonderful 5 night stay at this Inn. Not a hotel so felt cosy and relaxed. The inn itself is amazing and oozes it's history.

ugh. |
Nov 01 2009 |
So, i didn't wake up in a great mood. i didn't really do anything last night, i waited for brandon all night, and he just ignored me. It was great. Ugh. So, i came homethis morning, said hi to my parents and started to make a sammich. I'm just sitting there minding my own business and my dad sits there and starts picking on me about my laundry. I'm like... really? I ask why he is treating me like a kid when im 23. His response was, well im 73 and i can tell you what to do or you won't get your allowance. I guess this is my fault, for needing an allowance because i can't support myself. But, how ridiculous is that. I'm being controlled like im 15. I couldn't stand it when im 15, how am i supposed to feel now that im adult and still being bossed around like a child? that is one of my biggest trigger and they know it, but continue to do it anyways. So i get angry, im yelling how im just trying to make a fucking sandwhich and to leave me alone, but no, they wont. they sit there and tell me that my dog doesn't like me when im like that and they call her over to the couch and cuddle with her. mother fuckers if i could go over there and rip my moms hair out and punch my dad in the face without getting kicked out or the cops called on me i would. so i finish making my sandwich even though im about to throw it against the wall int he middle of making it, i grab it, something to drink, take the dog and go to the barn. I'm getting emotional now just talking about it. It drives me crazy i feel so trapped and treated unfair and controlled and theres nothing i can do about it. The only thing i can do is to tell my dad i don't want his money so he doesn't have anything to control me with. Why can't i just live the way i want to. They don't even go down in my room, no one does, its in a secluded area of the house, they didn't go down there this much when i was a kid, but now they go down there everyday so that they can yell at me if i have a shirt on the ground. I'm not sure how their mind is thinking this sort of behavior is adaptive, im not sure what kind of emotional need it fulfilling. I wish i could figure it out so i could fulfill it, or they could figure out how to, without have to control me and take it out on me and act inappropriately and drive me crazy when im trying as hard as i can. i hate them. i wish i had somewhere to go. i left my phone at brandons so i don't even have it. i was planning that i didn't need it that i was just going to hang out all day at home and maybe do my homework and not talk to brandon because of the way he acted last night. But no, now i am stuck here, when i wish i could go somewhere else and escape it. I came home and my dad is standing there and he says hello and i just walked up here without saying anything. I don't see an apology in my future, or any change. So i just will try to avoid them and keep myself at homeostasis and try.. to not let it get to me, to not make me so angry and vengeful and distructive. ugh. i don't even have any friends to call. my bf is a peice of shit and i can't call him, even though he has my phone. I did have a good time at the barn though. got to see my handsome horse. my dog got to play in the ring and jump the jumps and she loves it its so cute. except she gets a little.. overstimulated. i would love to do agility with her. i guess its not really the season but, maybe when spring rolls around. she would be a star. so unless my dad give me money without trying to control me with it, i plan on making it through the week with not a dollar. i will fix sanwhiches when my parents are not around, eat here when i can. Get brandon or someone to give me some weed and cigs, gina to give me adderall. And then i will make 200$ on saturday and i will be substained for a few weeks and then again they won't have anything to hold over me. I mean, he might get so angry that he can't make me make my room spotless even though i don't stay in it, or do anything in it, except change and take a shower, that he might try to kick me out but, if he tried to kick me out for my laundry then.. i donno i will call the fucking cops. I am so close to being triggered by them i have been imaging trashing my house. i even imagined pushing my dad down the stairs when he came up here to pick on me and killing him, and then freaking out and having to run away or kill myself. I have a feeling they might be smart enough to leave me alone. I hope they understand that i can't control my anger when this happens and something bad will happen. oh well, one day at a time, right?

Hang in there hun...I know easier said then done...but parents can be rather quirky creatures and dont always realize that even tho they are trying to help - to motivate - and get us to do things...that their methods can be lacking...
are you able to sit and talk with them at all? What about writing something to them...just to express your feelings and try to help them understand that the methods they are using are more damaging then good...its just an idea...

Nana's Easy Lemon Cream Cheese Pie Recipe | National Cheesecake Day
Today (7/30/12) is National Cheesecake Day!
Andy's family doesn't call them cheesecakes, though They call them cream cheese pie, and Andy prefers his with a hint of lemon in the actual pie and no toppings. (Of course I don't have a picture of it, so I borrowed one from kraftrecipes.com where you can find another simple cheesecake recipe.)
It goes a little something like this:
Nana's Easy Lemon Cream Cheese Pie
- 8 ounce cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- lemon juice to taste
- graham cracker crust
Whip the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice together until smooth and creamy. Add to the graham cracker crust. Chill.
That's it!

Early Learning
Students at Risk
TLP is concerned with all aspects of a student's well being and education, from the early years to graduation. The early years, however, are of particular interest as the foundation for the future success of Canada's young people. Fostering the readiness to learn is crucial for a child's optimal success at school and for all future aspects of life including employment, earning potential and physical and mental health. It is also crucial for Canada's ability to compete in the global economy, its prosperity and its social stability.
Yet, studies across the country have found that 25-30% of children in Canada lack school-readiness at age five. Improving early learning opportunities for children in difficult socio-economic circumstances, including the rapidly growing numbers of Aboriginal and immigrant children, has been of particular concern to TLP. As an organization concerned with students at all stages, we are addressing the issue of early learning through research, public engagement and programming.
The organization hosted a provincial Early Years Conference in Toronto in January, 2007. Partnerships in Action – Building Our Children's Future brought together early learning experts and professionals, policy makers, parents and care-givers, community leaders, educators, social workers, governments and not-for-profit organizations to discuss changes needed to work together to strengthen the foundation for early learning in Ontario and across the country. A research paper, Conception to Age Six: The Foundation of School Readiness, was commissioned for the event.
Our fourth Progress Report on the Quality of Public Education on early learning entitled, "The Building Blocks of Learning: Preparing Young Children for School", published in 2011, documents relevant research and highlights policy options related to the learning readiness of young pre-school age children.

Every now and then, I must drift away from Classic Town to recognize outstanding creations that do not fit the Town/City genre. One such creation is this fantastic MOC by Brian Darrow. Brian has created an Egyptian Desert Scene adding Indiana Jones elements. One can easily spot the Flying Wing and a few Indiana Jones trucks, but what makes this creation fantastic is the addition of the pyramids, Sphinx, and Egytian temple. The Nile River and numerous palm trees add color to his nicely detailed display. I must admit that this is what I had envisioned when building my own, smaller Desert Adventure.

A visit to Venice
Brickshelf member, crises has done some beautiful realistic Venice style buildings designs for us to admire. It seemed this setup enable the builder to add water into the river design. In this way, the boat is able to sail in the river. This will be a spectacular effect. If only we could add in speedboat actions from the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade movie.
Light Logging Truck
Eurobricks member Eilif builds a very useful Logging Truck for his Lego Town of Brickington. Originally a modification from the German transport truck contained in Indiana Jones set 7622, this truck would not only look great as an addition to any tabletown, but would also work well for an Indy display (even a Desert Adventure perhaps).
Chachapoyan Temple
Toward the west end of the Amazon, as the river makes its way into Peru, there was an ancient civilization who made the cloud forests their home. The people were known as the Chachapoyan (or Andean), also known as the Warriors of the Clouds. Their Peruvian temple stands on top of El Panal (the Bee-Hive) and has yet to be plundered by modern archeologists. Indiana Jones is said to have a map to the hidden temple, but beware, the plateau and temple is loaded with traps waiting to kill fool-hearty adventurers. This Large Indy Diorama (picture from www.pockyland.net, edited by yours truly) depicts the action and adventure of the Peruvian jungle.
Well, I didn't know the guys we threw out of the rickshaw had connections with Chinese gangsters. Seems we've been Shanghaied WhiteFang! Do you think Indy might lend us a hand?
Indiana Jones Movie Set
One of the best parts of my trip was when I got to visit an actual Indiana Jones Movie Set from the movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. The city is know as Tanis where the Germans are plotting to transport the Ark to Berlin, in the secret aircraft, the Flying Wing. This movie set is packed with adventure!

Product: Book - Paperback
Title: Network Intrusion Detection (3rd Edition) Publisher: Sams Authors: Stephen Northcutt, Judy Novak Rating: 5/5 This has to be the best book on the market for Intrusion Detection. I could not put it down. You will learn how intrusion takes place and how to protect from it. The examples of intrusion are extremely useful.
Product: Book - Paperback
Title: Programming Embedded Systems in C and C ++ Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Michael Barr Rating: 4/5 This book is indeed quite usefull, as so it has assisted me with essential information that will help: Engineers: design better embedded PC hardware Programmers: write high-performance embedded firmware Technicians: debug obstinate ISA bus gadgets Students: relate abstract theory to applications Enthusiasts: control unique projects with standard PCs The topics range from pure firmware to detailed hardware, including the BIOS routines and circuitry on the PC's side of the ISA bus that you can use throughout your embedded systems designs. Examine: I/O ports, memory, IRQs, and bus cycles Control: hardware with C and Assembly language Adapt: working source code and programs *Gadgets* Build: ISA bus memory and I/O circuits Protect: code with watchdogs and power monitors Identify: hardware with unique serial numbers Display: text and graphics on big LCD panels *Practical Tricks* Run: code in EPROM, EEPROM, or nonvolatile RAM Measure: wait states and interrupt latency Fix: hardware problems with firmware Debug: firmware using hardware outputs Reading Michael Barr's book, "Programming Embedded Systems in C and C++", I couldn't help thinking about Volkswagen Bugs. In the 70's, tinkerers put VW engines into buggies, hovercraft, helicopters, snowmobiles, airplanes, etc. Now, Michael is showing us how to use cheap, reliable, adaptable, and surprisingly powerful PC motherboards as 'volks controllers.' This book's generous code listings, diagrams, projects, and crystal-clear explanations make embedding a PC easier than a VW tune up. -Raymond Edwars, Chief Technical Engineer
Product: Book - Paperback
Title: Security+ Study Guide and DVD Training System Publisher: Syngress Authors: Robert J. Shimonski, Norris L. Johnson, Debra Littlejohn Shinder, Michael Cross, Tony Piltzecker, Jeremy Faircloth Rating: 4/5 I always find it interesting that the people who failed give it a poor rating. I think the subject material was covered very well in this book, especially being the first to the market. However, it would probably be a good idea to release a second/revised edition soon because of some typos and material that was missed. That said, reading this book WILL get you through the exam IF you put the time into studying.
Product: Book - Hardcover
Title: 3D Game Engine Design : A Practical Approach to Real-Time Computer Graphics Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann Authors: David H. Eberly Rating: 5/5 Not so long ago, I hated math. I've taken college calculus, etc. I hated it all! Now that I've started diving into the world of 3D, I love math. Some may feel this book is too math intensive, but I've found that a good background in math is really needed to develop a professional product. I give thanks to Mr. Eberly for filling an open gap. Most of the "this is a polygon" books will not teach you any math. I've found the book's descriptions and the provided code base to be very helpful. Once you are up to speed, I'm sure you will also. |

The Clorox Lounge Presents "Last Comic Sitting"
Are you ready for a little potty humor?
There's a new family friendly competition that's sure to make you laugh out loud.
"The Last Comic Sitting" features up-and-coming mom and dad comedians who will put their skills to the test in a heated battle for the $10,000 grand prize.
And the one and only Sherri Shepherd - Emmy award winning co-host of The View, recent contestant on Dancing with the Stars and a mom herself - will be the master of ceremonies for the final round of the competition which will be live at the El Portal Theater in Los Angeles on Friday, April 27 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at TheCloroxLounge.Eventbrite.com.
The Clorox Lounge
It's all part of The Clorox Lounge, a new site (also hosted by Shepherd) that features hilarious stories, contests and giveaways. The community hub is designed to be mom's "gotta go" place for comedy.
"Clorox brings the laughs out of the (water) closet and has created a community where you can find hilarious jokes, photos and videos. I'm excited about hosting The Clorox Lounge and turning the bathroom into the laugh room," said Shepherd.
The Last Comic Sitting Competition
Over the course of eight weeks, ten super-funny mom and dad comics faced off for the chance to sit on the throne and be crowned "Last Comic Sitting."
Every week, they faced a new challenge and based on voting, one was eliminated. They took on classic parenting topics - like the most effective white lies ever told to kids and the most zany parenting tricks and tactics.
Head on over to the Lounge to see how the competition went down and have your funny bone tickled!

By Mayo Clinic staffMost people who have factor V Leiden never develop signs or symptoms. However, the first indication that you have the disorder may be the development of a blood clot (thrombosis).
Some clots do no damage and disappear on their own. Others can be life-threatening. Symptoms of a blood clot depend on where it forms and whether and where it travels.
A clot developing in a deep vein
This is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A DVT may not cause any symptoms. If signs and symptoms do occur, they commonly affect your legs, including your ankles and feet, and may include:
- Pain
- Significant swelling
- Redness
- Warmth
A clot that forms closer to the surface of your skin
This is referred to as superficial venous thrombosis, phlebitis or thrombophlebitis. Signs and symptoms usually include:
- Warmth
- Tenderness or pain, often in or around the vein with the blood clot
- Redness
A clot that travels to your lungs
Known as a pulmonary embolism, this occurs when a deep vein clot breaks free and travels through the right side of your heart to your lung, where it blocks blood flow. Symptoms may include:
- Sudden shortness of breath
- Chest pain when breathing in
- A cough that produces bloody or blood-streaked sputum
- Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia)
When to see a doctor
Seek medical attention immediately if you:
- Have signs or symptoms of a pulmonary embolism, such as chest pain or discomfort.
- Have signs or symptoms of DVT, such as leg pain and swelling.
See a doctor if you:
- Have a family history of blood clots or if family members have factor V Leiden. Ask your doctor about the risks and benefits of genetic testing for the disorder.
- Have had one or more blood-clotting incidents without an apparent cause, especially if you're under 50.
