I just d/l rainbow 6 siege...when i go to play online I have to play through Ubisoft, BUT
I can't login with my old password, and when I hit the "recover password" link, it just takes me to a Ubisoft "error" page. I tried going to the Ubisoft website and logging in to Uplay from there, but when I hit the "Forgot your password" link and enter my email address and security code, nothing happens -- it says I'll get an email with instructions on resetting my password, but this never happens. I tried it several times and I know that the email is correct, but even after waiting quite a while I didn't receive anything (and yes -- I checked the spam folder.)
When I go to the "support" section of the ubisoft website, I can't do anything without first logging in, which of course is the whole problem. In other words, I can't ask any questions about logging in without first logging in. I checked my old confirmation emails from uplay, and the instructions say to use the ubisoft support site for any quesions. That site, once again, requires me to log in, and I
can't find any support email address for uplay
This site's also working.
my page was totally down and i was helpless but i when i dialed them, they fixed it almost instantly so you may try that as well
this might be helping you giys out as they helped me
Aaaaand it's back down again.

Yury, I propose an appraisal; your proxy-hate will fail to shimmy my demeanor; and Yury; do not be discouraged; a great gayme will come agayne
I predicted this game would sink shortly after it was announced.
Hi, I'll tell you all about the day that started the decline of The Division;
It is a great omen, and soon the light will dissipate all shadows; and all notions of a wonder game from a wonderful launch trailer will vanish
Dracin De Monse blah blah , hater talk blah blah . That's all i'm seeing mate , seriously

TWINSBURG, OH — On Feb. 28, J.T. Eaton & Co. helped sponsor a charity event at Bill White's Akron Lanes to benefit the Summit Country Pest Control Association's Scholarship Fund. A-Best Termite & Pest Control, headquartered in Akron, OH, organized the event. Other sponsors included BASF, Greater Cleveland Pest Control Association, Gotcha Pest Control, Ohio Pest Management 2000, Pest Control Technology magazine, Royal Pest Control and Southern Mill Creek Products of Ohio.
Along with sponsoring two lanes, J.T. Eaton matched high men's and high women's scores per dollar. John Cosmo bowled a 276 and J.T. Eaton's sales coordinator, Liz Velte, bowled a 221.
Thirty-nine bowlers participated, each of whom donated $5 to the fund. The grand total raised was $1,547.
"We hope this becomes an annual event," says Craig Velte, sales manager for J.T. Eaton. "Everyone had a great time, and it's for an important cause. College is out of reach for too many kids these days because of the expense, and anything we can do to help defray the costs is a good thing."
The association will award two $1,000 college scholarships at an upcoming meeting.

SPRING HILL — If you would like to learn more about the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America amid an atmosphere of merriment, St. Paul the Apostle Church will provide that opportunity at its fifth annual open house on Sunday.
The church will offer the community a free Fun Day, with the emphasis on fun.
"Every year, we put on an open house, trying to entice people," said the church's lay administrator, Gerry Miller. "In past years, we had it along with services, and I think some people felt tied into something."
While the church will have literature available about its teachings and practices, and board members and clergy will be available to answer questions, Miller wants to be sure no one feels pressured.
"We'll have on name tags, and if they have any questions, we'll be more than happy to answer them," Miller said. "But this is just a family fun day. There's no pressure."
The event will include activities for children, such as an inflatable castle, face painting, balloons made into shapes, games and prizes.
"We're trying to entice young families by putting on a clown show, with Ut-Oh the clown, and a bounce house," Miller said. "For the 'older kids' that are 60, 70, 80 years old, we're going to have the Spring Hill Guitar Club, with 20 people, playing inside."
The guitar club will perform from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
There will be a lunch of hot dogs, hamburgers, salads, beans, chips and hot and cold drinks.
"We'll have all the trimmings," Miller said, "so families can sit down and have a little picnic and get the information from us about our church and what we're trying to accomplish."
Miller said the parish council hopes to draw younger families to "come back to religion."
"The problem that I see in society today is that people who are in their 20s, 30s and 40s have gotten away from religion," he said. "It isn't until they are older that they decide maybe they'd better go back to church. Our hope is that we can draw two to three families and get them to come back to church or start going to church."
Miller said one question that is often asked is, "What is the difference between the Roman Catholic Church and the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America?"
According to its Web site, the Catholic Apostolic Church "is a completely independent and self-governing body, neither Roman Catholic nor Protestant, but simply Catholic." There are only a handful of parishes in the United States, most east of the Mississippi River.
"We still have the Roman Catholic traditions and liturgy," Miller said. "If you were to come into our church and sit through our services, you would be hard-pressed to find any difference."
So why, in June 2000, did a group of about 15 people unite to form St. Paul the Apostle Church?
"We have open doors to everybody," Miller said, referring to his church's differences. "Our stand on abortion, gays, divorces and marrying people from other faiths is different. If you come to our church and one is Protestant and the other is Catholic, you are more than welcome to get married in our church, and you can raise your children in either faith."
One of the biggest differences, Miller said, is that their church is not accountable to the pope.
All people are welcomed to the sacraments when they come sincerely seeking God, says church literature, and baptism is open to anyone of the Christian faith.
Clergy may marry and are ordained without regard to gender or sexual orientation. A former associate pastor who helped launch the church, the Rev. Anne Stewart, now deceased, was the first female priest in the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America.
Miller said he really enjoys the closeness of his church community, which now has about 30 members.
"Part of it is because we're so small. When you go to a big church, nobody knows anybody," he said. "Here, if somebody gets sick, everybody calls to see how they're doing.
"We want to grow," Miller added. "My feeling is I would like to see us get up to about 75 families."

Eurocopter revealed a mockup of the executive version of its EC175 medium-twin helicopter today at EBACE and is also offering an even more luxurious VIP version. Prices for the new variants are around €17 million ($22 million) and vary with options. The VIP version is some €500,000 ($650,000) more expensive than the executive option.
Cabin interior designer Peter Eidsgaard of Pegasus Desig explained that he wanted to "remove the feeling of a helicopter" and wanted the cabin interior to look like a house, jet or yacht. He "simplified lines" in an attempt to make the background adaptable to the various versions. In addition to the executive version (nine to twelve passengers), three styles for the VIP variant (six to eight passengers) are available.
Frédéric Lemos, Eurocopter's senior manager for business and private aviation, said executive/VIP sales are expected to reach a combined five examples per year. He expressed hope that the MoU for the first VIP EC175 will be converted to a firm order before EBACE 2013 closes on Thursday. The first delivery is planned to take place late in 2015. Lemos clarified that the executive/VIP EC175 will not be sold in China, due to Eurocopter's agreement with Avic on the joint EC175/AC352 program.

So for our 5th year anniversary we decided to grab a couple
of friends,
jump on a cruise ship and do just that!
We could not have been happier!
Thanks for making this dream come true for us!
& James - New Jersey
My wife
of 25 years surprised me by proposing to me while we were
on St. Thomas.
We took a walk on Bluebeards Beach when she
got on one knee and asked
if I would marry her all over again. Of course I said
She had pre-arranged a minister, photographer and bottle
of champagne to be set up
at the end of the beach waiting for us to renew our vows
right there.
I was blown away!
I would marry my wife over and over again!
Thanks Island Wedding Services for making this happen

text: I got the the Samsung Galaxy s2 4G Epic from Sprint a few months ago and it's my first smart phone so I'm not very well-versed. It's a great phone, but this weird problem keeps happening and I have googled the issue to see if anyone else was dealing with it, but nothing came up. What it does is in all circumstances (fully charged, running out of battery, plugged in and not, while I'm working on it or sitting idly) the phone acts as if I am pressing the settings button over and over. It's completely unpredictable and I've found no pattern with it. It's also really obnoxious. I did a factory reset and it did not work. I took it to a Sprint store and they tried to help, but it was like a Michigan Jay Frog deal. It didn't do anything while I was there, but started freaking out while I was driving home and is still doing so. The man at the store who was assisting me asked if it started happening after the last system update. I don't really remember, but that might have been the case. Other than that, I don't know what to do. I'm going to take it back to the store in hopes that it will sing and dance for them, but I thought I would ask if anyone had experienced a similar problem and was hoping that there may be available solutions. Thanks, Jen

Northern Ireland have now gone for 1023 minutes without scoring a friendly away goal, but the fact 12 games have now passed without a win is far more significant.
Deploying a curiously defensive 4-5-1, with the justification that this was a warm up for next month's World Cup qualifier against Russia, Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill should have double-checked who they were playing.
Malta could have been there for the taking early on, but it wasn't until an hour into the game that O'Neill made the changes he could have started with, not least of which was bringing the much-touted Billy McKay on.
They were desperately short of a cutting edge.
Malta took their opportunities to slip into the game and showed vigour in the early stages.
Northern Ireland were let off the hook when Edward Herrera's six-yard effort was hit straight at stand-in 'keeper Alan Mannus and Michael Mifsud's nutmeg past Aaron Hughes was dealt with on the other side.
Niall McGinn, Steven Davis and Will Grigg offered versatility but there was nothing by way of incision.
Davis sent a speculative effort wide of the post on 13 minutes, before an unchallenged Grigg sent his shot wide.
Daniel Lafferty's headed goal was disallowed after referee Yordanov Nikolay spotted pushing in the box.
Off the back of a 1-0 victory against Lichtenstein, at least this Malta team have proven they can win a game. At this stage, Northern Ireland merely have players who are capable, but unproven.
It could only have been McGinn's pace and delivery which left him, once again, out on the wing rather than in the striker's role he has at Aberdeen.
He ably ran in to meet Grigg, but constantly floated toward the centre. At other times, the Walsall man was left completely isolated. Either way, testing McGinn up top should be on O'Neill's list of future experiments.
By the interval, the home side had recorded seven shots with four on target and Northern Ireland, besides if counting the disallowed goal, had put none of their three efforts on target.
Just after the hour mark O'Neill threw Billy McKay on for Shane Ferguson, keeping all his attack-minded options on the pitch.
By 69 minutes, Northern Ireland were looking slightly brighter but exposed. Herrera, with four opposition players around him, shot from inside the area and Mannus stooped to clear the danger.
Fielding his third change, O'Neill brought on Pat McCourt, virtually playing every attacking card.
Josh Magennis was treated to a run out five minutes from normal time, replacing Grigg, but he wasn't on for long enough to make much of an impact.
Seemingly, however, 93 minutes isn't long enough for any of them to do so.
Malta: Hogg, Muscat, Scriberras, Agius (Camilleri, 46), Dimech, Failla, Fenech, Mifsud (Vella, 89), Cohen, Schembri (Bajada, 90), Herrera.
Subs not used: Haber, Zerefa, Ryan, Borg.
Northern Ireland: Mannus, Lafferty, McAuley, J Evans (Cathcart, 46) Davis, Grigg (Magennis, 86), Brunt, McGinn, Bruce (McCourt, 71), Ferguson (McKay, 62), Hughes.
Subs not used: Doherty, Shiels, C Evans, Carson, McGurk.

Roy Peter Clark is on "a self-imposed impossible mission: to help create a nation of readers and writers."
Our Constitution may guarantee us freedom of expression, he says. "But it's no use if you don't have the means to express yourself."
Clark, senior scholar and vice president at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg (which owns the St. Petersburg Times), has made a career of teaching that skill. His latest book is The Glamour of Grammar: A Guide to the Magic and Mystery of Practical English.
"Grammar" and "glamour" in the same title? Clark says he likes the two words "rubbing against each other and our expectations," but, as he writes in the introduction, they actually were once the same word — and both refer to magic:
"(G)lamour evolved from grammar through an ancient association between learning and enchantment. There was a time when grammar described not just language knowledge but all forms of learning, which in a less scientific age included things like magic, alchemy, astrology."
A glamorous movie star is one who casts a spell on us — and "spell," of course, can mean letters in a word or an enchantment. In other words, language has power.
But Clark's fanboy enthusiasm for the Harry Potter books wasn't the inspiration for The Glamour of Grammar. It was his editor's idea.
His last book, Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer, was published by Little, Brown in 2006. Clark was "surprised and delighted" by its success, with 80,000 copies in print, and he had a contract to write two more books. He pitched a couple of ideas, one for a book about "the standards and practices of memoir" (inspired by the controversy over James Frey's A Million Little Pieces) and another for a book about transformative reading experiences — his own desire to learn to read as a child, he says, was fired by baseball cards.
No dice. But his editor, Tracy Behar, asked whether he had ever thought of writing a grammar book.
"I think my answer was no," he says. Hauling a hefty, imposing copy of Garner's Modern American Usage from the crammed shelves in his office, he says, "I thought this was what a grammar book looked like."
That was not what he ended up writing. Clark, who has a doctorate in English and has taught writing for 33 years at Poynter to everyone from schoolchildren to Pulitzer Prize winners, says, "I took lots of courses, I read lots of books, I taught lots of classes. I thought I could provide a service by harvesting the most important things I know about writing."
The Glamour of Grammar is a streamlined, accessible, witty book that offers "tools, not rules." Fifty concise chapters focus on the nuts and bolts of grammar and punctuation as well as the more complex territory of style, with bullet-point "keepsakes" at the end. Clark champions the joys of making up new words, straightens out the frequent (and weird) misuse of "literally," and is a coach rather than a scold, encouraging readers to "live inside the language."
He thinks there are many aspiring readers and writers who understand that language has power. "But they don't feel fully inducted into the English language club," he says, because they lack confidence in their own skills.
"The act of picking up a book and reading for pleasure, the act of writing, at whatever level of fluency and efficiency," makes you part of that community of readers and writers, Clark says.
One force that has expanded that community is the Internet, with its tendency to "erase boundaries" between professional and amateur writers.
"In the traditional paradigm, the reporter wrote a story, then it was edited by a professional editor and published by someone rich enough to own all those printing presses," Clark says.
"We know now that a smart 9-year-old can write, can edit it, can illustrate it, can publish it."
A particular effect of digital communication grows out of its emphasis on brevity and clarity. "One person's 140-character tweet is another person's new, interesting literary genre. It's made me more conscious than ever of the power of short writing."
One point Clark makes in The Glamour of Grammar is that we learn our reading and writing skills everywhere, from textbooks to text messages. "Every writer should learn the requirements of standard English, but so many powerful messages are communicated in nonstandard English."
As a child of the 1950s and '60s, Clark saw rock 'n' roll become a powerful voice for a generation.
"There I was in 1957, 9 years old, studying Latin as an altar boy, with some very tough nuns teaching me the parts of speech and correcting my grammar, and at my piano lessons I was playing Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart.
"But my passion was for Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and especially, being a piano player, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. Those were my language teachers.
"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," he says, emphasizing each word. "How many rules does that one break?"

As Modi starts his 3 day fast in Gujarat today, it's interesting to look at his growth record in the last 9 years that he has been CM. We should remember that while the BJP has been ruling Gujarat since 98-99 (12 years), Modi's tenure only started from Oct 2001. Prior to him was the rule of Keshubhai Patel. The reason to look at the economic scorecard of Gujarat under Modi is that Modi's supporters have gone to great lengths to tom-tom Modi's economic achievements. Though most people (outside Gujarat) consider Modi to be communal, they like to give credit to Modi for Gujarat's high growth rates under his rule. Modi is trying to use his economic success story to stake claim to the PM's seat. Surely, the canard goes, Modi as PM would be very good news for India – since he would take India into a China-like economic orbit.
But let's look at the stats and then come to any conclusion about Modi at all:
Source of data: For the purpose of this piece, I have used Net State Domestic Product at factor cost at constant prices in Rupees as the measure of economic growth. The data taken is from the RBI's "Handbook of Statistics of Indian Economy" readily available on the internet. By using "at factor cost", we eliminate the effect of taxes. By using "at constant prices", we eliminate the effect of inflation. And by using "in Rupees", we eliminate the impact of the $: Re exchange rate. Since the Rupee has been depreciating over the years, the growth rate in $ terms comes lower than the growth rate in Rupee terms. Further, to calculate the average growth rate during a period under consideration, I have used a "simple average" of the growth rates of each year during that period. Whatever method I have used, I have used it evenly for all periods of time under all governments.
Gujarat under Modi: There is no doubt that Gujarat is one of India's leaders in economic growth. Or so we believe. Well, the data shows that under Modi (between 2002-3 to 2009-10), the average growth rate in Gujarat has been 16.25% per annum. During the same period of time, India's growth rate has been 14% per annum. So yes, Gujarat has grown faster than India. But does the gap between the two numbers come as a bit of a surprise? India's growth is an average of "top performing" states like Gujarat and the "underperforming" states strewn all across. So is the gap of a mere 2.25% between Gujarat's and India's growth rates high enough to justify Modi's claim of being such a hot state for growth?
Gujarat under Keshubhai: There is perhaps a reason why the BJP likes to talk about Gujarat's growth rate under Modi. In the Keshubhai Patel era (1998-99 to 2001-02), Gujarat grew at only 7.5% per annum as against India's growth rate of 10.7%. Aha. So BJP had messed up Gujarat's growth rate during Keshubhai's time. Do we hear anything about this period at all? Or is Modi's period of growth simply "extrapolated" by the BJP to cover its entire period of rule in Gujarat? Quite clearly, after messing up Gujarat early on, the BJP was forced to pull up its socks. Modi's performance looks "stellar" in comparison to Keshubhai's. Modi's definitely done a good job…..but that's no so apparent when compared to India's growth as much as it is when compared to his own colleague Keshubhai's growth.
Gujarat under previous CMs: Now let's check out whether Gujarat's growth story precedes Modi or not. There was a period of rapid changes in CMs in Gujarat between 94-95 and 98-99; so I am leaving that period out (Rest assured – all the rulers then – the BJP, the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Party have achieved between 14% and 31% growth rates in that period. I am only leaving it out because it was a period of political uncertainty). The previous strongman of Gujarat used to be Chimanbhai Patel who ruled as CM from 1990-91 to 1993-94. The growth rate during his period was 16.75%. Err…..higher than what Modi achieved. While Chimanbhai Patel was quite a mover within the political classes – moving out of the Congress at one time – he has to be called a Congress CM. He ruled as Congress CM for two terms. His wife Urmilaben Patel was a Congress Union minister. And his son Siddharth Patel is the Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee President. So Chimanbhai Patel was better than Modi. Prior to Chimanbhai Patel was the rule of the Congress for 10 years from 1980-81 to 1989-90. During this period of time, Madhvsinh Solanki and Amarsingh Chaudhary were the Congress CMs in the state. The growth rate during these ten years was 14.8% – just a shade lower than Modi's achievements. Let's not forget that this was the period before economic liberalization was unleashed in the country and so growth rates are bound to be lower.
To conclude – while Modi's achievements are creditworthy, they are hardly a reflection of his performance. The achievements are a reflection of the enterprising spirit of Gujaratis. Even before Modi, Gujarat was showing exemplary growth rates since at least 1980-81 – when Modi was perhaps just a 30-year old lightweight in the RSS/BJP set-up. The economic miracle of Gujarat – its contribution to the GDP; to exports; to several sectors of the economy; its well developed infrastructure – are all a tribute to the people of Gujarat and not to Modi as CM. If economic growth were to be used as the yardstick, we owe a salute to Madhavsinh Solanki, Amarsingh Chaudhary and Chimanbhai Patel (all Congress) in addition to Modi. And of course, we must remember the mess that Keshubhai created.
Now let's compare Modi's growth rate with growth rates hit by some Congress ruled states.
Growth rates in Maharashtra: During the same 8 years period that I have considered Modi's growth data for, the state of Maharashtra – under Congress rule – recorded an average growth rate of 15.5% per annum. It is generally believed that Maharashtra has lost its "mojo" in the last decade or so. But the economic data surely does not indicate that. In fact, though the Congress government gets maligned for governance issues, their record on economic growth has been very strong. Almost as strong as Modi's. Let's look at the two states in a different way. The Net SDP of Maharashtra today is 54 times bigger than what it was in 1980-81. The Net SDP of Gujarat? Marginally better – 56 times bigger in the same period of comparison. That should prove clearly that Gujarat has matched – but only matched – Maharashtra in the last 30 years. And Maharashtra has been ruled for 25 out of these 30 years by the Congress.
Growth in Haryana: This state has been ruled by the Congress since April 2005. Net SDP growth rate over the last five years has averaged 18% – significantly higher than Gujarat's under Modi.
Growth in Andhra Pradesh: This state has been ruled by the Congress since May 2004. The Net SDP growth rate over this period of time has averaged 16%.
So what really are we talking about? I don't have economic data for Delhi, but I am sure that Sheila Dixit's Congress government has provided more growth than Modi has.
Again, in spite of all the growth that Modi seems to have achieved for Gujarat, the state barely makes it to the top 5 in the country in terms of size of GDP behind Maharashtra, UP, Andhra and Tamil Nadu. Its economy is just about half of that of Maharashtra's. Even in terms of Per Capita Income, Gujarat (Rs 63,961) trails Haryana (Rs 78,781) and Maharashtra (Rs 74,027).
I know many people will quote some other statistics apart from Net SDP to evaluate economic performance. Let me pre-empt that. A study by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative using a Multi-dimensional Poverty Index (MPI) shows that while there are 41.5% poor people in Gujarat, the same number is 40.1% in Maharashtra and 41.6% in Haryana. Gujarat is 8th in terms of % of poor in India….nothing very spectacular really.
One last piece of statistics. Let's look at Congress rule and BJP rule at a national level. The BJP led NDA ruled India between 1998-99 and 2003-04 and the average GDP growth rate was 10.4% per annum. The Congress led UPA has ruled India since then and the average growth rate in its tenure has been 15.8%. That should settle any debates on who has a better economic scorecard – the Congress or the BJP.
The real truth is that Modi has a strong propaganda wing. This propaganda wing has spread the canard that Modi has been an outstanding performer. The media in India is either so ignorant or so venal that it has not bothered to do any research to substantiate or disprove this propaganda. The absence of any strong leader in the BJP at the center has provided Modi the right fertile ground to plant and grow his canard. Today, the propaganda is starting to be believed. This blog hopes that logic will prevail…..

For the better part of two decades, the acclaimed band Calexico has crossed musical barriers, embracing a multitude of styles, variety in instrumentation, and well-cultivated signature sounds. With their forthcoming record Edge of the Sun, out April 14th, they take inspiration from a trip to a place surprisingly unexplored by the band before in Mexico City, and with the benefit of many friends and comrades to help guide the way.
The first outside invitation came when the band's Joey Burns was writing the track "Bullets and Rocks" and recognized space for a former Calexico collaborator. "When putting vocals on that song, it immediately reminded me of the Iron & Wine feel," says Burns. "So I texted Sam (Beam), who wrote back quickly and got it going."
Encouraged by the experience, the guest list grew to include Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses), Nick Urata (Devotchka), Carla Morrison, Gaby Moreno, Amparo Sanchez, multi-instrumentalists from the Greek band Takim, and Neko Case. Burns' brother John Burns lent a hand to some lyrics and songwriting, and the band's keyboardist, Sergio Mendoza, stepped up to co-write and arrange certain songs, ultimately co-producing the album along with Burns, John Convertino, and longtime associate Craig Schumacher.

Some Catholics hope for change under Pope Francis
The celebration of the ascension of Pope Francis is a sight to behold.
On his first day on the job, Pope Francis displayed the humility many have been talking about. He stopped by his hotel, picked up his own luggage and paid the bill himself.
Special edition newspapers sold like hotcakes Thursday, with everyone grabbing for a piece of papal history. Argentinian Cardinal Jorge Bergolio is the first ever pope from the Americas.
For Victor and Kathy Amsdell of Toledo, Ohio it was reason to celebrate.
"We were just amazed...really a blessing," Victor said.
The 76-year-old pope delivered a simple, off-the-cuff homily during his first Mass as pope. But before the election, Pope Francis led a simple life. He will now trade his apartment for a palace and taking the bus for limousine rides.
Jeanette Leach of Houston, Texas said, "I think he took the name Francis for a reason...I think we're going to see great things from him. I really do."
Pope Francis' inbox is already full. Clergy sex abuse victims have asked to meet with him while others are pushing him to ordain women and approve birth control and gay marriage.
But Washington's Cardinal Donald Wuerl says the new pontiff cannot upend theology - just teach it better.
"Why marriage, family life, justice, human rights, why are they so important? That'll be his task to help people understand that, but not to change them," Wuerl explained.
As the Swiss Guard gets back to work protecting the pope, the new pope will get to work trying to protect and reunite the troubled church he now leads.

Help Chris "Yum Yum" Jones Rebuild His Life In The Wake Of Devastating Trailer Fire
You've seen him chugging up and down the steps of the Cajundome in Lafayette, or maybe even the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. His name is Chris "Yum Yum" Jones – famously known to many as "The Cotton Candy Man" – and right now, he needs our help to rebuild his life after he literally lost everything in a trailer fire.
This is the latest in a streak of hard times for Chris after he recently lost part of his leg to diabetes, leaving him disabled and unable to do his job as "The Cotton Candy Man" that he loved so much. Because he has had this job all his life he doesn't have any insurance or benefits to aid him during these hard times.
Anyone who has crossed paths with Chris "Yum Yum" Jones knows that he is a great person, who is no stranger to adversity. Chris is facing this tragedy with the same enthusiasm as he did after Hurricane Katrina.
Katrina took everything from me before, and I rebuilt….. and I'll do it again.
If you would like to donate food or clothing, you can do so between 8:30a and 4:30p M-F here at Townsquare Media (1749 Bertrand Drive, Lafayette, LA 70506)
Chris' sizes are 2X in shirts, and 38 in pants. Also, Chris' friends have set up a donation page through GoFundMe HERE, where you can make any monetary donations if you so choose.
Anything will help, as Chris has lost everything, from his home to his dog, being left with only the clothes on his back.
Join our Townsquare Media family to help Chris rebuild his life. Thanks, and God bless!

|Snuck in this one on a rainy camping trip. Great route, much better than anything at turtle rock. Not sure about the line...dead on the bolts is much harder than 10b but the crux can be avoided by bailing into a slot on the left. Straight up I thinks it's 10d-11a.

I broke a key hold off last year. It was high and right between the last two bolts. So, it probably a letter grade or 2 harder if you stay in the bolt line...
Climbed it today on TR. There is a key hold way right, but you have to move your feet up carefully.

|I somewhat disagree that this route is harder than 10b. At the crux I reached up high and right finding a 2 finger hold allowing me to clip the last bolt. I don't think this was off route and feel that using that technique keeps the route in the 10b range. Fun area!

How much canned pumpkin is recommended for a 50-60 lb. dog ? I'm trying to firm up Tyson's poop as I just switched to Taste of the Wild and his poops are little soft but stil pickup-able.
Posted : 2/4/2009 8:07:20 PM
I'd start with a whooping tablespoon or so. Sorry, that's the way I cook too....a little of this, a little of that.......you an always increase it if that isn't enough. It sure isn't going to hurt him any.
Posted : 2/4/2009 8:13:33 PM
daily? or per meal?
Posted : 2/4/2009 9:19:54 PM
depending on how loose the stool is I would put it in one meal and see that works - if it doesn't do the trick for the poops i would add it to each meal - as Glenda said it certainly won't hurt - I have given it to my boy as a veggie for several meals and not had any adverse reactions
Posted : 2/5/2009 12:26:07 AM
My vet said I can give my 25lb girl up to a 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin per day to help with digestive and anal gland issues, so I'm sure that amount would be fine for a bigger dog for sure, though I'd split it across his meals so he gets good tummy coverage throughout the day.
Posted : 2/5/2009 6:56:02 AM
I give my two 65lb dogs approximately 1 tablespoon per meal. I don't measure I just plop a spoonful in the food.
Posted : 2/5/2009 9:58:48 AM
Oh, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who "plops"!
Yes, I would use it every meal for a few days just to give things a chance to equalize in the digestive tract.
Posted : 2/5/2009 4:22:00 PM
I never plop.
I have, however, on occasion, been known to eyeball, smidge, and drizzle.

It sounds suspiciously like giardia. Try a round of Safeguard - you can get it from any pet supply place, no prescription needed. It's packets you sprinkle on food (wet food is best to ensure a full dose, poor baby will have to eat some canned food, lol!). You treat for three days in a row, then it's best to do it again in about a week.
Posted : 2/5/2009 6:57:19 PM
Posted : 2/5/2009 8:14:10 PM
I've tried pumpkin worse during poop issues and it did nothing, possibly made it worse, lol.
Posted : 2/7/2009 1:11:22 AM
i'm getting some mixed results with the pumpkin ...
Posted : 2/7/2009 3:40:26 PM
I used it with Sandy for a bit and it took about 3 - 4 days to see results. I fed it to her until the can was gone and she got a tablespoon each meal.
Posted : 2/7/2009 3:53:34 PM
It may take a little while to see results from the pumpkin. It may also take a 2nd round with the Panacur even with negative stool results. Giardia and the other can be difficult to catch on stool screens. A while back both Woobs and Indie had the runnies and it took 2 doses of Panacur to get Indie back to normal. Woobie gets runny from pumpkin at first. It took 2 weeks of him being on it in his homecooked diet before his stools adjusted. It could also be the food. The only 2 things that Woobie has done well on has been Hill's z/d and this homecooked formula I had developed by a nutritionist. It could be your dog will do best with very few simple ingredients. An elimination diet may be in order to truly track down what's upsetting him. Good luck!

R. Lee Ermey
is a true American, because he knows that patriots like him DIED to protect this country from socialism and ANY American that voted for Obama has dishonored the warriors that have died to protect this nation. R. Lee Ermey is best known for his role in the movie Full Metal Jacket.
The Average American idiot has no clue what the hell is going on and they should be ashamed of themselves. Yes, the tea party woke up many, but they are already infiltrated by closet leftists as well and the people have been so dumbed down to the propaganda that they do not even know it. Many Americans only care that they have a beer, the game is on or that a man can be openly gay an Army barrack. That will be changing soon, I can promise you, because the Marxist Elite want us all living in the stone ages like in the old days of the Soviet Union.
The oil boom has helped the Russian economy today, but unfortunately we are unable to drill (new drilling) for oil here in the good ole USA due to environmental groups that are really communists working for our enemies to undermine our economy and national security.
The communists and the RINO's are also using the illegal alien invasion to undermine the middle class.
After watching this video you will understand why the radical left want to undermine and destroy the U.S. Military, but particularly the USMC because of their passionate patriotism and hardcore attitude. Spreading the military out thin and then defunding them due to the economy that is being smashed on purpose, so we can not afford to defend ourselves any longer.
Then brainwashing of the tea party movement (I predicted this months ago), to make it one big anti-war movement. The movement is already saturated with left wing Libertarians and revolutionaries that want communism. The left has you morons eating right out of their hands and most of you do not even know it, because of the minor victory in November. What did you win? A few RINO's?
The Tea Party will want the wars to stop, because of the money being spent is breaking our economy. Many of the people that will be calling for this are really leftist Libertarians, because the real goal is to ACCEPT SOCIALISM and there will be no more wars. This way world communism can fall into place without the need for a nuclear war. Trust me, surrender will not save us.
This was the real purpose of 9/11 and still 9 years later most people do not have a damn clue about it. The purpose of 9/11 was to force us into Socialism, it was a communist plot. This is a war against capitalism and the Muslims are just foot soldiers for the Marxists. Drag us into bloody, costly wars and then have the treasonous Democrats undermine the troops. Very simple to understand…
I say pull the troops out immediately and begin dropping nukes on Iran, North Korea and Pakistan. Then call Russia and China to put them on notice also. That is how I would start 2011, with a BANG.

The chairman of football's governing body Disciplinary Committee has extended the sanction on the Bianconeri coach to have a global worldwide effect
Juventus manager Antonio Conte has had his 10-month ban extended to cover all games including friendlies.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) earlier this year gave him the ban for alleged match fixing violations but on Friday FIFA's disciplinary committee in accordance with article 136 of the FIFA disciplinary code have had this ban extended to cover all types of matches, including domestic, international, friendly and official fixtures.
The final decision on whether to extend the sanctions imposed on the 43-year-old by the FIGC will follow the outcome of any potential appeal, as long as the appeal complies with Fifa regulations.
Fifa are currently reviewing additional documentation provided to them by the FIGC which relates to other sanctions issued by the Italian Football Federation deciding bodies which could mean further penalties.
The decision to extend Conte's ban follows other global sanctions handed out by the chairman of the Fifa Disciplinary Committee to individuals in Finland, Croatia, Korea Republic, and Turkey since February of this year.
Juventus start their Champions League campaign against Chelsea next week where technical director Massimo Carrera will take charge.

The blaze orange debate has been going on for years. Animals don't see color as well as we do but blaze colors (chartruese or orange) stand out as a very unusual bright spot which really hurts your ability to blend into anything but snow. When blaze orange was required by some states I found that I had to become much better at hiding to be an efficient hunter. Any study like the ones done to prove blaze orange cannot be seen by deer is flawed anyways. If you realize how science works you would know that most discoveries and truth are discovered by accident by very unscientific people, then science studies it to see why it works. The other way around is usually bogus. Learn to hide, learn to move, learn how to work the wind.

Multiprocessor Performance Benefits of AMD Opteron™ Recognized with Long-Term Commitments by Developers of World's 500 Highest-Performing Systems
At the 21st International Supercomputer Conference today, AMD (NYSE: AMD) announced that several AMD Opteron™ processor-based systems are listed among the world's highest-performing supercomputers, as determined by the TOP500 Organization (www.top500.org). The AMD Opteron processor, via its Direct Connect Architecture featuring HyperTransport™ technology, delivers superior performance and scalability for cluster and multiprocessor computing in commercial and research environments. These performance advantages are leading to increased market penetration across all sectors of the worldwide server market during the last three years, including such industries as financial services, energy, and digital media, as well as university and government installations.
"Supercomputer developers were among the first to embrace the AMD Opteron processor," said Marty Seyer, senior vice president, Commercial Segment, AMD. "Since that time, traditional enterprise datacenters, facing the same rigorous performance, value, power and cooling requirements, are increasingly choosing AMD Opteron processor-based systems. We are demonstrating that AMD64 is the innovation platform for the future, through our planned quad-core processor roadmap, and our recently announced Torrenza program which allows for the development of special purpose accelerators that will take computing potential to the next level."
In a recent supercomputing win, AMD Opteron processors were selected for a multi-year contract that Cray, Inc. signed with Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(ORNL) to provide the world's first petaflops-speed (1,000 trillion floating-point operations per second) supercomputer. The total contract calls for progressive upgrades to ORNL's existing Cray XT3™ supercomputer, starting with Next-Generation AMD Opteron processors with DDR2 memory later this year, followed by upgrades to the use of quad-core AMD Opteron processors, which will be socket compatible. These upgrades will accelerate peak speed to 250 teraflops (250 trillion floating-point operations per second), planned in late 2007. ORNL is then expected to install a next-generation Cray supercomputer in late 2008. This system, currently code-named 'Baker,' is designed to deliver peak performance of one petaflops, making it roughly three times faster than any existing computer in the world. All systems provided for in the contract will utilize current and future versions of the AMD Opteron processor.
"Cray is continuing its long-term commitment to building our next-generation platforms on AMD64 technology," said Cray president and CEO Peter Ungaro. "All Cray supercomputers are designed to accommodate future higher density multi-core processors in order to leverage and protect our customers' investment in these systems. The recently announced upgrades to ORNL's Cray XT3 supercomputer will ensure ORNL is operating on the most advanced platform to serve their computing needs well into the future."
The world's largest AMD Opteron processor-based supercomputer ranked seventh on the Top500 list. The Tokyo Institute of Technology's TSUBAME supercomputer uses Sun Microsystems Sun Fire™ servers powered by more than 10,000 AMD Opteron processor cores. In provisional tests in May 2006, TSUBAME achieved a sustained performance of 38.18 teraflops.
Satoshi Matsuoka, professor in charge of computing infrastructure at the Global Scientific Information and Computing Center, Tokyo Institute of Technology, said: "I am strongly aware that one reason why TSUBAME now ranks as seventh on the Top 500 list is the robust, advanced processing performance of AMD Opteron. The Tokyo Institute of Technology intends to construct future Japanese supercomputers in the petaflop-speed class. Accordingly, we plan to proactively consider and utilize a range of cutting edge technologies, and specifically AMD processors."
Earlier this month, the High Performance Computing Center (HLRS) at the University of Stuttgart installed a visualization cluster manufactured by DALCO AG, using AMD Opteron processors running software enhanced by Microsoft's Windows® Compute Cluster Server 2003.
"Our high performance visualization cluster at HLRS - the high performance computing department of the University of Stuttgart - is based on AMD Opteron technology because it best fulfilled the University's requirements" said Christian Dallmann, CEO of Swiss DALCO AG. "The demand for high-end graphics in combination with the outstanding compute power of the AMD Opteron processor gave us full flexibility to fulfill our demanding goal to provide superior visualization services to the prestigious automotive industry in the Stuttgart area."
Said John Borozan, group product manager, Windows Server Division at Microsoft Corp: "Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 helps power and improve the parallel rendering capabilities of the visualization software used by HLRS. High performance computing environments are among the most demanding, and the AMD Opteron processor ensures that software operates to its full potential."
Finally, AMD Opteron processors will be featured in a recently announced supercomputer planned by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
Appro, a leading provider of high performance enterprise computing servers, storage and high-end workstations, announced this week that, in conjunction with Voltaire, a worldwide leader in grid backbone solutions, it will provide more than 16,000 Next-Generation AMD Opteron processors with DDR2 memory to LLNL. The three will work together on LLNL's Peloton Supercomputing Project, a high performance computing environment to be used by 8,000 LLNL scientists and engineers.
"We are extremely pleased to work with AMD to deliver LLNL one of the world's largest, highest performing clustered supercomputers," said Daniel Kim, Chief Executive Officer, Appro. "Using Next-Generation AMD Opteron processors with DDR2 memory for Appro 1U Quad XtremeServer Clusters ensures we have the processor that will deliver industry-leading price/performance and performance-per-watt, which helps this research to be conducted as efficiently, rapidly and cost-
effectively as possible. Additionally, AMD offers critical investment protection via a seamless migration path. When more computing power is required, a quad-core upgrade can be implemented versus buying an entirely new, expensive system."
According to Mercury Research, AMD's first quarter x86 server market share represents 22.1 percent, a 26 percent increase over AMD's share in the fourth quarter of 2005 and a 254 percent increase over the first quarter of 2005.

Soddy-Daisy High School seniors Matt Jenkins and Ben Kirk signed scholarship papers Wednesday to run cross country and track for Bryan College.
They are the first Soddy-Daisy recruits for the running Lions, who have become one of the NAIA's top programs in Rodney Stoker's seven years as coach. Both said he was the main reason they picked the Dayton school despite conversations with other recruiters, including some in NCAA Division I.
"First, they're great kids," Stoker said. "We had them up to visit, and they fit in really well. And they're really energetic and have a lot of upside."
"Ben has speed and is pretty new to the sport, so he will help us more in the 800 and 1500 at first," said Stoker, who noted that the Lions will lose only top runner Bryson Harper after this year and will have a sizable group of freshmen. "Matt is more of a distance kid, and we know he can handle the training."
Jenkins, the Trojans' cross country and track captain and president of the FCA huddle group the past three years, ran 92 miles one week in the summer of 2010, according to Soddy-Daisy coach Nick Selbo.
"He's kind of like indestructible," Selbo said. "Ben started running in Alabama before he came to us. He's a speed demon."

Hey... I'm looking for a good chinese restaurant for a dinner... Good service.. good food. We always end up at some pretty bad restaurants that charge much more than they deserve so I got pissed off this time and said I was going to pick the place. Now I have to deliver. And I turn to the Chowhounds :)
Can you guys suggest some good chinese places for dinner.. traditional chinese... LWH is probably out of the range.. but I've seen people mention Spadina Garden.. Asian Legend...King's Garden.. Ambassador? I'm just wondering about the price ranges and locations of these places? Also if there are any more suggestions anything's welcome... I'm thinking middle of the range or upper-middle..
Thanks in advance.

Baramulla: Two infants have died in a government hospital in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district, allegedly due to non-availability of electricity for over two hours.
The infants' families have alleged that the babies were on ventilator support when the electricity supply went off. The hospital officials allegedly didn't turn the generator on for two hours on Friday evening.
"The superintendent killed my babies. There was no electricity, not even a candle. Even the nurse was missing. We were holding our babies under the light of the mobile phones," the mother of one of the infants said.
"The babies died because there was no staff in the hospital, nobody to turn on the generator, where is the staff?" she added.
The state health department has responded by initiating an open enquiry into the matter. Three specialist doctors from various hospitals in the valley will be heading the enquiry.
This incident comes two days after a senior doctor was arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir Police for the murder of a newborn in a government hospital.

smells goodbut not a very good deodorant — 8 years, 11 months agolastone4me | 157 reviews
It's no secretI love this deo, it's great. I have always used it so I don't have much to compare it with. The few cheaper brands that I have purchased before don't measure up. I love the clear as it doesn't get on clothing as easy as the solid. — 8 years, 11 months agoleopardlover00 | 4 reviews
How can this make you sweaty and stinky?I'm super angry over this deodorant. I love the different scents it offers but when all said and done, this deodorant does exactly what it's set out to not do-It makes you stink and it makes you sweat...The 2 things that any normal deodorant is suppose to protect you from. I wore it for about a year and couldn't understand why I stinked after about 5 hrs and why I had sweat under my arms too. I wa...read mores actually thinking I had a problem and was going to see a skin doctor about it. I now wear solid deodorant with no problems. I will not, ever, recommend this product to anyone.

So-SoThis has a good fragrance, but I don't wear it if I'll be exerting myself. I sweat through it and stink through it after about 6 hours. Good for short-term, low-key days with a light sexy fragrance. — 8 years, 11 months agoscitrus | 4 reviews
I love it!I am so glad I discovered this deodarant. I have never liked roll-ons, but the gel does not bother me and it keeps me dry and smelling great all day. The lavender scent makes me feel like I am pampering myself. It is by far one of the best I have tried. — 9 years, 1 month agokmrel4 | 12 reviews

Vanilla Chai YummynessI don't need much to keep me from sweating because I don't really sweat, but I do smell pretty bad when I forget to use deoderant. I really like the smell and it does cover odor very well. I wouldn't be able to comment for those who use it for the sake of an anti-persperant, I don't need that, but for the sake of smell cover and good smelling, I rather like it. I keep a backup in my car for those days when I run out the door and forget to use something. UGH. I like . — 9 years, 1 month agoBellaSong | 16 reviews
