If you're searching for a change of pace, perhaps a destination with white sand beaches, rain forests, beautiful mountains, year-round sunshine, and diverse culture, moving to Puerto Rico may be at the top of your list. And why wouldn't it be? It's called the "Island of Enchantment" for a reason. Today, you'll learn why moving to this tropical paradise a great choice and how to move there.
Puerto Rico Weather
The weather is amazing in Puerto Rico. Temps average around 83 F, making it the perfect time all the time for strolling along the beach, sitting outside, watching the native birds, or playing sports. The only time you might need a jacket is at night, when the temps can drop into the high 60s. Rainy season lasts from April to November, so be sure to pack a rain jacket or umbrella.
No passport needed
If you're moving from the U.S. mainland to Puerto Rico (and you're a U.S. Citizen), you don't need a passport because Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. However, some sort of government-issued ID is required for entry, like a driver's license or birth certificate. Another benefit of moving to Puerto Rico is that customs fees do not apply. However, household goods are subject to an excise tax.
Click here for several things you should know before moving to Puerto Rico from the U.S.
Puerto Rican Culture and Cuisine
One of the biggest draws to the island (besides the tropical weather), is the culture. With influences from Spain, the Taino Indians, and Africa, the territory's culture can be described as nothing short of vibrant. Natives are friendly and welcoming, and because the culture is so diverse, you'll have plenty of local cuisine to try. The local cuisine is called cocina criolla, and it utilizes many herbs, beans, and distinctive flavors. One special local dish is called mofongo. Basically, it's a mash of fried plantains or yucca with seasonings and pork cracklings. It's usually served with meat and broth. A favorite local drink is called Aljonjoli, a sweetened, spiced drink made from coconut milk, sesame seeds, vanilla, and cinnamon. You'll also have to try piragua, a frozen, shaved ice treat made with fruit flavored syrup. Hungry yet? You'll have plenty to try after moving to Puerto Rico!
Sports in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is known for great athletes and a strong athletic spirit. Puerto Ricans love baseball, basketball, and football (soccer). There are many football leagues, from pewee to semi-pro. Baseball is also very popular – did you know that more than 100 MLB players are from Puerto Rico? There's also a national basketball the league for both women and men. Professional boxing, wrestling, and volleyball are popular sports, too. If you love watching or playing sports, you'll love Puerto Rico!
Education in Puerto Rico
There are plenty of private and public schools on the island to choose from for school-aged children. For higher education, the University of Puerto Rico offers 11 campuses across the territory. There are also private universities, such as Universidad del Turabo, Metropolitan University, and Universidad del Este.
You can't exactly drive a rental truck there, so you'll need to search for moving companies to Puerto Rico. Some companies can move you there, but you'll have to pay expensive rates and wait a while for your items to be delivered. Is there a better option? Yes, there is, and it's called U-Pack®.
Compared to other Puerto Rico moving companies, U-Pack is affordable, dependable, and fast. Here's how it works: A moving trailer or moving container will be delivered to your home stateside. You load your belongings, and U-Pack moves it to Puerto Rico. Your shipment will travel by truck to the nearest service center that ships to Puerto Rico (Philadelphia, Jacksonville, or South Chicago). From there, your shipment gets put on a boat to San Juan/Guaynabo. After arrival, you'll clear your items with customs and then they'll be delivered to you. You can save even more by unloading your belongings at the service center in Puerto Rico instead of at your destination address.
U-Pack averages transit times of 7-11 business days for shipments to Puerto Rico – all depending on where you're moving from stateside and moving to in Puerto Rico.
Get a free moving quote from U-Pack to compare to other movers to Puerto Rico. It's likely that U-Pack prices will be lower than full-service companies and faster, too. You can get a quote online or by calling 877-453-7274.

Actually I just realized that the font is similar to the font used on the purple jersey's back in the day.. so forget what I just said.

DeMar just said on his Facebook page that they'll be wearing that logo as a patch on their jerseys for all of next season.
I can't wait to see the throwback jerseys

We all make mistakes... Tanking is not the answer.. This squad can ball! Let it roll!!
Maybe they will do what the Magic did for their 25th anniversary: wear their original colour/pattern jerseys for a select few home games during the season.
I would be fine with that. I would also love to see some ex Raptors in the house to partake in the celebrations as well.
Here is a link for what the Magic did.

I know this may be a bit controversial but I think the Raptors have proven that they're the best team in the NBA from Canada

But MLSE does have my branding documents from last May after it was covered in the media. That's also when NewEra picked up the Toronto "T" hats (note: if you live in the city, you can see Amir & Ross wearing them around every so often, too). In the end, it's all about passionate fans proudly uniting. We actually did a BIG giveaway at SickKids and UofT which was a blast! So many fans eager to rep this team! The next few years are going to be very exciting.
Anyhow, hope that helps answer your question! (PM me if you're looking for something specific and I'll see what I can help with)
EDIT: If there's enough interest for the NewEra stuff on this forum like there was on RealGM with all of those orders, one of the Mods contact me and we'll get something set up to help everyone (it'll be cost + shipping unless the Mods want to hand deliver; minimum production order I can do is 12).

I have no idea what to think about this re branding thing
I'd love to see the purple back but the font that they use for writing Toronto pisses me off
can they just leave things the way they already are, just change the colour, bring back the pin stripes THATS IT why mess with perfection?
What they got to say now? Nothing they can say now. Mobbin' on the low. Winnin' on the lowThe city embraced me, made me feel at home. The only difference [between Compton and Toronto] for me is the cold. -DeMarNo Where Near the South Side #WeTheNorth
You come at the King, you best not miss.
I don't really understand what everyone is talking about in their criticism of this image.
The font, the stripes/lighting, the colours, the everything is EXACTLY the things that were used on the original jerseys, from the mid to late 90's team.
It's a straight up homage and not a rebranding. Which also makes it more likely that it will be used as a publicity thing and not as the team's look going forward.
Can I get a Fuck Yea ?

Are spot compression, magnification, and implant imaging considered mammographic modalities?
No. A mammographic modality is a technology for radiography of the breast, such as screen-film mammography, full field digital mammography, and xeromammography. Spot compression and magnification are techniques used with a mammographic modality, but are not to be considered separate mammographic modalities in and of themselves. Implant imaging represents an application of a mammographic modality to patients with breast implants.

text: The story begins when the Silver Surfer, herald to Galactus, is knocked out of the sky, with his surfboard shattering into several 'Cosmic Bricks' that fall onto the Earth. With these blocks containing immense power, Dr. Doom gets together a band of villains to make the "Doom Ray of Doom." However, S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury calls upon the superheroes of the Marvel Universe to retrieve these blocks before they get captured by other villains such as Loki and Magneto.

East-West begins in 1946, as a French woman (Sandrine Bonnaire) accompanies her physician husband (Oleg Menchikov) back to his Russian homeland, in response to Stalin's campaign for repatriating those who fled the revolution. They immediately discover Stalin's overtures are simply a sadistic come-on. Nearly all the returnees are executed or thrown into camps, and only Alexei's valuable medical skills save him and Marie from such a fate. Still, the pressures of living in a bleak, repressive country quickly frays the fabric of their relationship. Director Regis Wargnier made a splash back in 1993 with Indochine, which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. East-West, which was nominated this year but lost, is another drama about how political circumstances can dominate personal relations. Despite largely first-rate work from the cast (which includes Catherine Deneuve in a small supporting role) the film's portrayal of postwar Russia is so heavy-handed that it casts suspicions on its historical reliability. No one is going to suggest Stalinist Russia was truly a jolly worker's paradise, but Wargnier paints a picture that seems like something from a horror film. It would be nice if he had provided more historical evidence that the movie isn't just an overheated anticommunist fantasy, but his only cited sources are anecdotes by a few aging survivors of the repatriation.

I'm 17 days post op and my left day is still putting out approx 40-45cc's per day.I pretty much sit elevated in bed all day hoping that it will slow down faster. My right drain is only 15cc's per day.I'm concerned whether this is unusual to even still have drains in for this long. Im a vegan and wondering if that in anyway may slow my recovery.Also Prior to surgery I lost about 75lbs (Which I've kept off for about 3 years). Does any of this explain why I'm still draining this much fluid?
17 Days Post Op and Still Draining 45cc's Per Day After Tummy Tuck. Does a Vegan Diet and Large Weightloss Inhibit Recovery?
Doctor Answers 2
Still draining after tummy tuck
This is not at all unusual so don't be worried. At my practice we take drains out when either one is less than 25cc/day of drain output. In that case, your right drain would be out now, but we would still leave in the left one until it is also less than 25cc per day. Surgeons all have a different method for determining when to remove these drains so stick with what your surgeon recommends. There is never anything wrong with leaving them in longer, rather than taking them out too soon and having fluid build up in the abdomen.
You may be draining more than usual due to your large amount of weigh loss recently. That is not a problem at all and you are likely much better off for having lost all that weight before surgery. Congratulations. Hope this helps.
Weight loss patients drain longer
When your fat stores were greater your body created more lymphatic channels in the extra fat. When you lost the weight the lymphatics didn't go away so all weight loss patients drain longer than non-weight loss patients. Stick with your drains as directed by your doctor, this is not unusual at all.

OK, so...here goes. Im 30 yrs old, I have 2 kids and I dont like the way my body looks anymore. I already have a butt, but I want my old waist line back!! So I figure that if Im gonna get lipo, I may as well put that fat to good use. I dont want a reDONKulous booty, just a rounder, better version of what I was already blessed with. I've only spoken with one doc and I decided that he was the one for me. I like Dr. Perry's before and after photos because they look natural. I dont want a fix-a-flat looking azz! I'm a little afraid as the time approaches, but I'm just praying to God that I make it through alright. Any advice from the BBL veterans? I would love to hear it.

Is It Music or Sex That Makes a Hit? — In The Mix with HK
Let's face it, from explicit lyrics to scantily-clothed artists to racy videos, sex is a part of the musical marketing landscape. Case in point, and mind you I love this song, but would we have even heard of "Blurred Lines" if it wasn't introduced to us by a bevy of gorgeous models dancing naked? Of course that version of the video was eventually taken down from YouTube, but only after all the news about it got us to listen! Does Adam Levine use his barely-clothed promotional pics to keep Maroon 5 in the public eye? Are Rihanna's flesh-flashing outfits and barely clothed selfies helping her sell records? And who can stop watching Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop" video? Now that is taking twerking to a whole new level!!! Even the extremely talented singer/songwriter Bonnie McKee, who's responsible for some of the biggest hits of recent years, just dropped the video to her "American Girl" and guess what – there's a lot of skimpy clothing and sex appeal. Why not? She's pretty and sexy along with being so talented. What do you think? Would you love you favorite artists as much without all the skin? Hit me up on Facebook at In The Mix with HK or twitter @HowardHKKessler with your thoughts.
Whether you twerk like Miley or not it's going to be impossible not to move when you're In The Mix with HK Friday & Saturday at 10 p.m. on Mix 94.9. I've got a smokin' hot show with brand new bangers and killer HK custom remixes. We're talking non-stop music mixes to get the party going! Bruno Mars – "Treasure", Capital Cities – "Safe and Sound", Neighbourhood – "Sweater Weather", Rihanna/David Guetta – "Right Now" and that's just some of the first set! I promise brand new re-imagined versions of Imagine Dragons – "Radioactive", Jason Derulo – "The Other Side", Emblem3 – "Chloe", Robin Thicke – "Blurred Lines" and much much more. Don't miss it! If you do, you'll hate yourself in the morning!
Remember…if it's hot, if it's new and it makes you wanna move…you're In The Mix with HK.

Day 1: Ushuaia - Beagle Channel. In the afternoon, we embark in Ushuaia and sail through the Beagle Channel. Includes: (D).
Days 2 & 3: Drake Passage. In the Drake Passage we witness a multitude of albatrosses, petrels and fulmars. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 4: Antarctic Peninsula. At Hope Bay and Brown Bluff we hope to set foot on the Antarctic Continent. In this area chances are good for encounters with Gentoo Penguins, Weddell Seals, Leopard Seals and Orcas. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 5: Antarctic Peninsula. From Devil Island at the tip of the Weddell Sea is surrounded by huge tabular icebergs of the Larsen Ice Shelf. We will climb a hill with a gently slope from where we have a great view on the surroundings. At Paulet Island we will observe the last individuals of a large Adelie Penguin colony near the ruins of the Nordenskiöld hut, which remains from the Swedish Antarctic Expedition from the beginning of the 20th century. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Days 6 - 8: At sea we will probably sail along the sea ice drifting north out of the Weddell Sea. On the floes we may see some juvenile Emperor Penguins. On our way north we plan to visit South Orkneys, where the Scotsman Bruce once wintered and where we now may visit the friendly people of an Argentinean base. On our way to South Georgia, we witness a multitude of albatrosses, petrels and fulmars. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Days 9 - 11: South Georgia - Grytviken. In South Georgia we will pay visits to the abandoned whaling settlement Grytviken, where now the penguins walk through the streets, and King Edwards Point with the grave of Shackleton. We will walk near the big King Penguin colony on Salisbury Plain and the breeding Wandering Albatrosses on Prion Island in the Bay of Isles. The last day in South Georgia we will spend in Cooper Bay where we will observe Chinstrap Penguins and Macaroni Penguins and breeding Light-mantled Sooty Albatrosses. Later we intend to sail to Gold Harbour to visit another King Penguin colony and to see many Elephant Seals and Fur Seals. We conclude our visit with zodiac excursions in the magnificent Drygalski Fjord and Larsen Harbour. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Days 12 - 16: South Georgia. In the westerlies we have a pleasant tailwind. On both sides of the Antarctic Convergence, we observe many species and great numbers of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic seabirds. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 17: South Georgia. Today we plan to approach the unique Gough Island and might, as always weather permitting, offer a zodiac cruise. In previous years we managed to circumnavigate all but four miles of the 33 mile circumference of the island in the ship, saw spectacular scenery and an unprecedented abundance of wildlife. We felt very privileged to be among the few visitors who have been able to experience Gough and in particular, to see it at such close quarters and in such favourable conditions. We hope to be lucky to repeat this unique experience with you. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Days 18 - 20: In the Tristan da Cunha archipelago we call at the settlement at the west side of the main island. We will also try to make landings at Nightingale Island with millions of seabirds ranging from Yellow-nosed Albatrosses to Brown Noddies. We allow one day in reserve for bad weather. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Days 21 - 24: At sea, we now enter sub-tropical waters with their own brand of seabirds and dolphins. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Days 25 - 27: St. Helena has a good anchorage and landing site. On this island, we will have ample opportunities to enjoy local culture, pleasant climate, and endemic plants and birds. We will visit the place where Napoleon lived in exile. There will be opportunities to explore the Island on your own and for snorkeling, in the shallow surf near a wreck we can find a lot of fishes. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Days 28 & 29: At sea. Visiting: Tristan Da Cunha. On Board the Professor Multanovskiy or Professor Molchanov. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Days 30 & 31: Ascension Island is a dry volcanic island with a moist and richly vegetated top. The Sooty Tern (wide-awake) colony sometimes consists of more than 1 million breeding pairs. We will try to climb the moist summit of Ascension Island and make a zodiac-cruise around Boatswain Bird Island offering also great opportunities for snorkeling. We may witness egg-laying sea turtles coming ashore at night. Some of our passengers may disembark and fly with the scheduled RAF (Royal Air Force) flight to Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, UK. Others may proceed their voyage to Cape Verdes. Includes: (B).
Note: All itineraries are for guidance only. Programs may vary depending on local ice and weather conditions and in order to take advantage of opportunities to see wildlife.

At 65 years old, Roger Pettee was looking for something to do.
"I get bored easily," he confessed. "I've played every kind of sport in my lifetime, so I figured why not try kite surfing. It doesn't hurt as much when you fall."
At 6 feet 4 inches and 220 pounds, Pettee tries to stay as trim and fit as when he played defense for the University of Florida and, later, a brief stint with the Dallas Cowboys.
"I had a friend from my football days who had a house in the Dominican Republic," Pettee explained. "He said come on down … the water is great. The people are friendly. You'll fall in love with the place."
The Atlantic coast of the Dominican Republic has an international reputation as a gathering place for world-class board sailors and kite surfers. "On the first day, I got dragged down the beach by the kite and the tourists went running," he said. "I had the shortest kite surfing career in history."
Not wanting to cut his hard-earned vacation short, Pettee went for a drive. That is when he stumbled across the baseball diamond.
Field of dreams
A group of young boys, ragged and barefoot, was playing ball in a dirt lot.
"I think they had one baseball glove between them," Pettee said. "They had absolutely nothing, but you could tell by the gleam in their eyes that they were happy."
Pettee stopped and watched them play, and when one of the future Hall of Famers came over to investigate, the old linebacker gave him the baseball hat off his head.
"It was like I had just handed the kid a million bucks," he said. "He just couldn't believe it."
That is when the proverbial lightbulb went off in Pettee's head. "You know how many old baseball hats I have around my house?" he said rhetorically. "You know how many of my friends have old baseball hats around their house?
In that moment, Pettee decided to return to Pinellas County, fill up a suitcase with old hats and baseballs, and then return as soon as possible to the Dominican Republic. "From that point, I was on a mission," he said.
Humble beginnings
Pettee, now an accomplished financial planner, grew up in Miami, as he describes, "dirt poor."
"We had nothing … " he said. "I slept on the floor, had no toys at Christmas, it was pretty rough."
As a boy, he shined shoes for pennies on what is now South Beach and even sold fruit that he "borrowed" from other people's trees just to help pay his family's bills. But the shining light in his life was the Boys Club of Miami, where he learned to play sports. Later, after his family moved to Bradenton, his natural athletic ability earned him high school All-American status (the first on Florida's West Coast) and a scholarship to the University of Florida, where he played with Steve Spurrier.
After college he played briefly for the legendary Dallas coach Tom Landry who advised him to pursue a legal career. "He said, 'Pettee, as much as you sit the bench, you would probably make a fine judge,' " he said.
But Pettee kept in touch with his college buddies and his network of friends helped him build a successful career. "I feel like I have been the luckiest man on earth," he said. "Now it is time to start giving back."
A school in need
At 10 a.m., on Jan. 23, Pettee wandered into Luperon School, El Batey, Sosua, Dominican Republic, where 1,600 "ninos" tried to get an education. "I asked the principal if he needed any help," Pettee said. "He just smiled."
Pettee decided to "adopt" the school, a dysfunctional medical clinic, a basketball court in disrepair, the adjoining baseball park and 350 additional children.
"All of the sudden I had all these people counting on me," he said. "I had to get to work."
Pettee began shuffling back and forth between the United States and the Dominican Republic, carrying suitcases of athletic gear, medical supplies and his hard-earned cash.
"I started with the basics … like getting them water fountains that worked and toilets that actually flushed," he said.
Pettee has taken about a dozen trips so far this year and plans to make as many in the months to come.
"Play It Again Sports on Tyrone Boulevard has been great," he said. "They give me the baseballs at a discount. Man you should see those kids light up when I hand them out."
A bright future
Pettee has formed a nonprofit corporation, the Dominican Team for Dreams, and has already received some contributions from his employer of 37 years, Aegon/InterSecurities.
"What I am hoping for now is to have some of the major leaguers step up to the plate and help out," he said. "I think this would be a great project for the Rays. A little bit goes a long way in the Dominican Republic."
In the meantime, Pettee will continue to collect old baseball gloves and hats, stuff them in his battered suitcase and hand them out to the poor children of his adopted homeland. "I am going to show the world that one man can make a difference," he said. "You just watch and see."

Most transactions would either touch either just the database, or just the shared catalogs, so you'd write the commit record in whichever stream was appropriate. If you had a transaction that touched both, you'd write the commit record in both places, and include in each stream a reference to the other stream. On replay, when you reach a commit record that references the another stream, you pause until the reference stream also reaches the matching commit record. If you reach the end of that WAL stream without finding the commit record, then, in archive recovery, you just keep waiting for more of the stream to arrive; and, in crash recovery, you write a matching commit record at the end of WAL. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company

Affidavit: Men lured victim, stabbed him
Two teenagers suspected of stabbing a 21-year-old man and leaving him bloodied and lying in a driveway were charged Thursday with attempted first-degree murder.
Jason Ryan Ingram and Jesus Ernest Barrera, both 18, also face a single count of first-degree assault and two sentence-enhancing crime-of-violence counts.
An arrest affidavit obtained by The Daily Sentinel alleges the teens had given the victim, Christopher Langford, a ride to and from a party they attended. After the party, they reportedly led him into a field in Pear Park and attacked him, hitting him in the head with a baseball bat and stabbing him several times as he tried to run away.
Police said the stabbing may have been triggered by the men believing Langford had flirted with one of their friend's girlfriends.
Langford, who was stabbed once in the chest and twice in the back, was discovered by a woman who opened the garage door of her home in the 400 block of Chert Drive early on the morning of Jan. 7. He spent several days in the hospital.
Detectives spoke with a number of witnesses who led them to Ingram and Barrera.
Ingram told police on Jan. 27 that Barrera repeatedly asked him during the party if Ingram "had his back" in regards to Langford and that Barrera wanted him to help fight Langford, the affidavit said.
Ingram said once they got out into the field, Barrera struck Langford in the back of the head. Ingram said Langford got up to run, and Ingram tripped him. Barrera then stabbed him, the affidavit said.
Ingram told police Barrera tried to convince him to make up a story that the stabbing was in self-defense. He said he is intimidated by Barrera and that he kicked Barrera out of his house, the affidavit said.
In an interview on Jan 29, Barrera initially denied any involvement in the assault on Langford, claiming he did not stab Langford and that the knife belonged to Ingram. He later admitted only to assaulting Langford with a bat, police said.
The girlfriend told police the day after the stabbing she saw Ingram and Barrera walking in a field looking for the knife.
Ingram and Barrera will return to court Feb. 12. Both are being held in the Mesa County Jail on $150,000 bond.

Our goal at the Nebraska Motorcycle Safety
Training (NMST) program is to provide instruction to riders and prospective riders to learn the proper way to operate a motorcycle or three-wheeled motorcycle (3WMC).
In the State of Nebraska, lawful operation of a two- or three- wheeled motorcycle requires the operator to have an endorsement on his/her operator license. Successful completion of the Basic Rider Course, Basic Rider Course2, Returning Rider Basic Rider Course or the 3-Wheel Basic Rider Course achieves this requirement. At the end of your training with us, we give you a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) completion card. Just take the completion card to the DMV, and the DMV will place the endorsement on your Nebraska driver's license.
Assistance / Questions (402) 593-1564
The Nebraska Motorcycle Safety Training program utilizes the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's (MSF) curriculum that is based on years of scientific and field experience. This program has been field-tested and has proven successful in developing entry-level and intermediate skills for riding in traffic.
Since 1973, the MSF has set internationally recognized standards that promote the safety of motorcyclists with rider education courses, operator licensing tests, and public information programs. The MSF works with the federal government, state agencies, the military and others to offer training at all skill levels so that riders can enjoy a lifetime of safe, responsible motorcycling.
The Sarpy County riding instructors are professionally trained and certified by the MSF. Every instructor, or RiderCoach as we like to call them, must pass an intense training program before conducting a class. Furthermore, we are all required to adhere to a strict code of ethics and professional conduct to ensure each student is treated with respect and dignity. These classes are about you and your learning, and each Coach at Sarpy County works extremely hard to ensure our classes provide a positive experience for everyone. However, we cannot guarantee everyone taking one of our courses will pass. Learning to ride a motorcycle may come easy to some, while others may struggle to gain the motor skills necessary within the allotted time.
We hope you choose the Nebraska Motorcycle Safety Training program to begin, or continue, your motorcycle journey!
Jeff Ferguson
Director of Operations and Lead Instructor
Basic Rider Course (BRC) - $225
The BRC provides the student with basic formal instruction. When you register for the BRC, you will receive an e-mail containing a coupon code that you will use to register free of charge for the "eCourse" on the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) website. MSF and the Nebraska DMV require the MSF eCourse to be successfully completed prior to attending the BRC. The eCourse is done independently by the student before attending the BRC. It takes approximately three (3) hours to complete and introduces the student to rudimentary riding concepts, managing risk and motorcycle operation. Once you pass the eCourse (minimum score of 80%), print out your certificate and bring it to your scheduled class. The certificate is required for entry to the BRC class. The BRC consists of six (6) hours of classroom instruction and ten (10) hours of riding activity, which take place over a weekend. The student uses a training motorcycle provided by our program. Successful completion of the BRC waives the requirement to take the Nebraska DMV written examination and road test. It qualifies the student for the Motorcycle Endorsement "M" on their operator's license.
Basic Rider Course 2 (BRC2) - $125
For riders who already have basic skills. Similar to the BRC, except speeds ae higher and you must be on your own motorcycle. This is an excellent refresher course for practicing and renewing riding skills. This course includes an informal classroom component for discussing safety concepts based upon past riding experiences and current knowledge. It is a one-day, approximate eight (8) hour course, consisting of three (3) hours of classroom activity and five (5) hours of riding activities. When you register for the BRC2, you will receive an email containing a coupon code that you will use to register free of charge for the 'Street Strategies eCourse' on the MSF website. The Nebraska DMV requires the MSF eCourse be sucessfully completed prior to attending class. The BRC2 includes a written examination and a riding evaluation, which, if successfully completed, qualifies the student for a license waiver yielding an "M" endorsement.
Returning Rider Basic Rider Course (RRBRC) - $140
The RRBRC is designed for the rider who has had a permit for a long time or has ridden in the past. It is a one day, approximate nine (9) hour course consisting of three (3) hours of classroom activity and six (6) hours of riding activities. The eCourse is not required. Training motorcycles are supplied for the class. Two screening exercises are used to determine if the student has the requisite skill to complete the course. The rider must possess skill demonstrating the ability to shift gears, corner, stop, and coordinate clutch, brakes and throttle to successfully maneuver the motorcycle. If not, the RiderCoach will counsel the student to consider taking the BRC instead. The RRBRC includes a written examination and a riding evaluation, which, if successfully completed, qualifies the student for a license waiver yielding an "M" endorsement. A subset of the BRC classroom and riding exercises is used.
3-Wheel BRC (3WBRC) - $180
Basic, entry-level, learn-to-ride 3-wheel motorcycle (3WMC) training and education course. It provides the same fundamental skills as the BRC, but on 3-wheel, 3-track motorcycles (not sidecars). Only 3WMC's are allowed in a 3WBRC, and the student will need to supply their own 3WMC. MSF has very specific definitions of what a 3WMC can and cannot be. Successful completion of the 3WBRC class waives the need to take the Nebraska DMV written examination and road test. It also qualifies the student for the motorcycle Endorsement-Other "Z" with a "3WMC Only" caveat to their operator's license. This course is normally accomplished over a weekend and is composed of approximately 12-14 hours of classroom and range instruction.
Introductory Motorcycle Experience (IME) - $40
Introduces the student to the experience of operating a motorcycle. This will help the student to determine if he/she wishes to proceed with additional training. This is a two-hour course and is designed to introduce the student to the concepts of riding and operating a motorcycle. It briefly discusses the risks of riding, the riding environment, motorcycle controls and moving the motorcycle.

Why take a course with Nebraska Motorcycle Safety Training?
Upon successful completion, you'll have learned how to become a safe and responsible motorcyclist. You will receive your completion certificate right at the end of class, which normally waives the requirement to take the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) written exam and road test (see note below), in order to have the M endorsement placed on your license. Also, you may be eligible for a discount on your insurance.
Note: The State DMV examiner reserves the right to retest anyone, but this is very rare.
Do I have to be a resident of Sarpy County to take a course with NMST?
Anyone holding a valid driver's license or permit can take a class with us. If your Driver's License is from Nebraska, upon successful completion of the course, take your completion certificate to the Nebraska DMV office of your choice. The DMV will place the motorcycle endorsement on and remake your license. You will be required to take a vision test. Once this is complete and barring any further testing requirements your license will be reissued with the endorsement. The note above applies also. If your operator's license was issued in another state you will need to contact your home state for instructions. Military personnel on orders fall in a different category and should contact their unit admin and or the local JAG office for special instructions.
Will I get a license after the course?
Upon successful completion, the RiderCoach will award your completion card. Take the completion card (proof of course completion) to the DMV, and they will re-issue your Nebraska driver's license with an "M" endorsement, normally without any further testing at or by the DMV. Please refer to note above.
What is a motorcycle endorsement?
An "M" or motorcycle endorsement authorizes the license holder to operate a motorcycle, 3-wheel motorcycle or scooter. An "M" endorsement with a "Z" restriction further limits the license holder to the operation of a 3-wheel motorcycle or scooter only. This restriction is used when the individual takes the 3 Wheel Basic RiderCourse (3WBRC) or Scooter Basic RiderCourse (SBRC) and not the Basic Rider Course (BRC) .
Do I need to get a motorcycle learner's permit before I take the course?
A motorcycle learner's permit is not required for any of our classes.
Which course is right for me?
The Basic Rider Course (BRC) is perfect for beginners or those who have some prior experience but have not ridden in some time. If you are a current motorcycle rider but have never taken a riding course, this is also a good option.
The Returning Rider Basic RiderCourse (RRBRC) is designed for as the name implies, the returning rider. This is a rider who has experienced a lapse in riding and usually owning a motorcycle and hasn't ridden in a while but knows how. It is also used for the individual who has had his/her permit for a long time and can easily handle an abbreviated course format. Individual riders are evaluated for their ability to ride during the first two exercises. If the RiderCoach feels they are not capable of passing the course satisfactorily or if the RiderCoach feels the individual would be better positioned in the BRC, he/she will ask the student to leave and enroll in a BRC.
The 3-Wheel Basic RiderCourse (3WBRC) is specially designed for riders operating a 3Wheel Motorcycle (3WMC) more commonly referred to as a "Trike". Upon successful completion of the 3WBRC, the individual would follow the same process as the other course to acquire an endorsement. The "M" endorsement in this case will also carry a "Z" restriction. This restriction only allows the license holder to operate a 3WMC and is not allowed to operate a two wheeled motorcycle. If you anticipate riding a 3WMC only then this is the course for you. If you think you may want to ride a two wheel motorcycle in the future then you should consider taking a BRC.
What if I am 16 or 17 years of age? Can I take a class with NNST?
You must be at least 16 years old and have a valid Nebraska operator's permit or license. Students who are under the age of 18 are required to have a parent or legal guardian sign a waiver to allow them to take a class.
Do I need to bring a motorcycle to the course?
Students use our training motorcycles for the Basic Rider Course (BRC) and Returning Rider Basic Rider Course (RRBRC). You must bring your motorcycle for the 3-wheel motorcycle for the 3-Wheel Basic Rider Course (3WBRC).
What gear do I need to bring to the course?
All students must bring:
- Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) approved motorcycle helmet. If you don't currently own a helmet, we have some loaners at the classroom. Just be sure and let us know when you pre-register that you would like to borrow one.
- Full-fingered gloves (leather is preferred)
- Over-the-ankle footwear (preferably leather but hiking boots for example are also allowed)
- Protective eyewear (glasses or sunglasses are fine as long as they have shatterproof lenses) but a face shield is preferred
- Long-sleeve jacket or shirt
- Long pants
What if I don't pass the written or riding evaluation?
If you do not pass the written exam or the riding evaluation, you are allowed to retest at a later class at no additional charge.
Where does the class take place?
The classroom and range are both located at the
Sarpy County Law Enforcement Center (N.E. corner of Hwy. 370 and 84th St.) 1208 Golden Gate Drive, Papillion Ne.

That influence gave way to fierce animal prints, safari-inspired designs, and some of the decade's trademark details including strong shoulders, jumpsuits, statement necklaces, and more.
Animal print was heavy right out of the gate on sheer-inset zebra tops, calf hair-detailed waist-cinching belts, and structured pleat skirts with leather and gold metal accents. The collection went full-on jungle in menswear-inspired leopard print suits, belted leather jackets with black and white silk zebra panels, leg-baring mini skirts in the feral patterns (a Balmain signature), and an office-ready pencil skirt that will take its wearer straight from the boardroom to a night out on the town.
Olive green army jackets were paired with silky jumpsuits in a matching hue (high atop my must-have list for the season), bamboo earrings, and gold metal-heeled sandals for an effortless blend of safari meets street. Pencil skirts, black tights, and cargo trousers grounded the pieces in functionality and real-time wear.
No Balmain collection would be complete without leather, thus Rousteing used the edgy texture in knotted crop tops, the aforementioned pleated skirts, high-waist cargo trousers, utilitarian vests, and more.
Fur and angora toppers radiated warmth when layered over pencil skirts and cargo-pocketed designs. It was also refreshing to see a brand anchor so many looks with tights for the season: a clear commitment to showing us all how to wear the pieces from the balmy temperatures of Fall straight through the chill of autumn.
More and more celebs flock to Balmain's designs season after season, with ladies including Rihanna, LaLa Anthony, and Kelly Rowland among last year's wearers. There were more than enough red carpet-ready looks on display from shimmering zebra print mini skirts with gold metallic stripes to simple ruched numbers that will set the stage for bombshell hair and killer accessories.
Thoughts on Rousteing's latest for Balmain?

text: Hello anybody out there. I have two salt water tanks setup. One of them is a regular 20 gallon. There are two filters on it. One of them is a Penguin Bio-Wheel 200 with a regular charcoal filter in it. I put in a ChemiPure Elite half unit in it. The other filter is a Topfin 10. The other tank is a 38 gallon Innovative Marine with one unit of ChemiPure Elite. Both tanks have live rocks and live sand. They both finished their recycle periods. Everything is checked out fine. So My question is, which tank is better to keep Sunburst seahorses and a pair of pine fish that you have? Is the 20 gallon tank with two filters too much for them? Should I just keep the big filter on and not the little filter? Is that enough filtering power for them? In the 38 gallon tank, do you think the current is too strong for them? I cannot adjust the strength of the filter even though the tank has plenty of space for them. Please let me know which tank is best for them. If you think the 20 gallon is best for them, how many Sunburst seahorses can I keep in there? If you think the 38 gallon is best, can you also let me know how many of them I should keep in there? Thank you very much.

Thanks for reminding me.

What a wonderful soup - it is a complete meal in a bowl, and I bet it is so satisfying. And your kale is gorgeous.
Congratulations on the new pot, and thank you for the shout-out. Can you believe that warranty? In this "throw it away" world, it made me feel good to see how Le Creuset stood behind their product.

I could live on that soup everyday, so hearty and comforting. I just can't get over that warranty, what a great company I will remember to keep that in mind with my pieces of Le Creuset.

Mmmmm..this looks delicious! I love to make hearty soups such as this. I do not own very many pieces of le Cruset but that is a good policy to know about.

With the onset of the early winter, we have switched from salads to soups. Love the combination of sausage and kale. Will be doing this. A lot. Just thinking about it makes me warm. Wishing I had a Le Creuset pot to replace!

I'm really impressed that your garden was still putting out produce in November! Not much growing here at this point! The soup, of course, looks wonderful. Just the thing for the kind of frigid weather we've been having.

Ah, September. A time for call-ups ad excitement as some potential future stars, regulars, and bench players get chances to show what they can do and perhaps push their way into their organization's 2012 plans.
For us fantasy players, the primary beneficiary are keeper-leaguers who may be able to parlay some of these players into keepers if they can sign them cheaply enough. It can be quite the hearty feast. Contenders sometimes foul things up with non-keeper-worthy bids, but there are typically more than enough scraps to go around.
Speaking of contenders, especially those in redraft leagues, it's a crapshoot. If you're lucky, you will be able to acquire one of the very few players who is immediately inserted into the everyday lineup and might receive around 100 at-bats or 25 IP if a starter receives 5 or so starts. However, over that sample size and the pressure of a first call-up, banking on these players as part of your stretch run, is not really an option. Yes, you have to take the chance, particularly in AL and NL-only formats if you're in contention and have roster holes or particular needs, but keep your expectations extremely low. Mixed leaguers are, generally speaking, better off sticking to veterans in most cases given the volatility of these call-ups. Your best target for gaining value is in the speed environment as even on days they do not start, speedsters, especially in the NL, could receive a good amount of pinch-running ability.
Montero Continues Hot Streak
Amongst the likely interesting September call-ups will be the Yankees' Jesus Montero. Montero got off to such a slow start and pedestrian pace this year, he was starting to remind me a bit of the Mets' Felix Martinez in terms of young player not doing much in the upper levels of the minors. Instead the 21-year old has picked things up and is now on a similar homerun output pace to last season with 17 home runs in 451 plate appearances after producing 21 in 504 last year. His batting average and OBP numbers are almost identical. My one main concern with him remains his contact-making/OBP skills as a right-handed hitter. His strikeout rate has increased to over 20%. Of note have been his platoon splits with a .273 batting average against righties while crushing lefties with a .333 batting average. That right-handed split also comes along with a 26% strikeout rate. Montero is still very young and has plenty of time to improve these skills and certainly has impressive power, but I remain a wee bit skeptical until he improves against right-handed pitching.
Viciedo Gets the Call
Dayan Viciedo's excellent 2011 season got him a call-up just prior to roster expansion. I have long maligned him due to his well sub-par glove work at both third and first base and because of his rather awful plate discipline. In his first two minor league seasons he produced walk rates of 4.3% and 3.0% respectively while walking just 2% of the time during a call-up last year. Well while he is certainly not going to win any gold gloves for his work in right field now, he has at least gotten the wakeup call at the plate. This season he made contact 84% of the time while 9% while continuing to display the above average power expected of him with 20 homeruns and a .296 .364 .489 line. The White Sox have installed him as their primary right-fielder for at least while Carlos Quentin remains on the disabled list. If he can translate his newfound skills to the Majors, he can be a viable fantasy sports.
Nationals Rotation Alteration
The Nationals have already announced one of their September call-ups. They are opting to take things slow with Jordan Zimmermann and given how well he pitched in his return from Tommy John surgery and the fact that the Nationals are not contending, they are shutting him down for the year. Enter Tom Milone. Milone is a 24-year old left-hander who has produced some impressive results this season. They include a 9.4 K/9 and a sub 1.0 BB/9. He has a good history of keeping the ball in the park, but is a fly-ball pitcher (0.77 GB/FB in Triple-A) and is a fairly soft-tossing control artist in actuality. He tops out in the upper eighties, but he commands extremely well and matches it with his well above average changeup quite well. He has also, surprisingly, been far more effective against righties than lefties, with a sub 3.00 ERA and 120 K's in 116.1 innings against righties as opposed to a 4.50 ERA in 32 innings, albeit with only 3 walks and 35 strikeouts. In other words, I do not expect him to have much of a long-term platoon split at the moment, especially given a solid cut-fastball in his repertoire. Though it will be interesting to see how well he misses bats in the Majors, he will have a rotation spot for the rest of the year and is worth targeting in all NL only formats.

Most people associate Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep with a period of sleep in which dreams are most vivid. While this is often the case, there is much more to REM sleep than dreams.
How to Get Better REM (Rapid Eye Movement) Sleep
Sleep Cycles
Most people never think about sleep cycles until they begin feeling the impact of not getting an adequate amount of sleep. In fact, there are some people who only know of REM sleep because they hear about it in movies, read about it in books, or watch shows on television that mention it. However, they have little knowledge of what it means or how different sleep cycles impact their mental and physical health and well-being.
Periodic Limb Movement Disorder
If your bed looks like a war zone when you wake up, then you may be suffering from the sleep-related parasomnia disorder known as Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, or PLMD. Another clue of the disorder is thread bare spots on your bedsheets in the area that you normally position your feet. While anyone can suffer from the disorder, it is more common in middle- and older-aged people.
Non REM Sleep
Sleep is composed of natural sleep cycles of brain activity, and is made up of two basic phases with individual stages within. These include rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep.
What is Non REM Sleep?
Non REM sleep occurs during the first four sleep phases, and before REM sleep, which is the final stage before the sleep cycle repeats itself. On average each stage lasts from five to 15 minutes. A typical night's sleep is comprised of 75% non-REM sleep and 25% REM sleep.

Six Writing Tips You Should Know!
Posted on Dec 6 2012 at 09:56:25 AM in Literature
When you end Chapter Two, DON'T STOP! Look at your detailed plan, determine where you are, what needs to happen next, and keep writing! Chapter Three is waiting to be written.
Here are six writing tips to remember while you are writing:
1. Always listen to your gut even if it means you have to do more work because in the end it'll all be worth it. I recently learned this lesson while editing my first book. I kept feeling as though something was missing, that I needed more substance in-between the parts of my book that were thrilling. I ended up going back over the entire manuscript to add in filling material to help the flow. This took weeks, but I am very happy with the ending result.
2. Use dialogue tags (he said, she said). Some amateur writers forget to do this, which causes the reader to become confused, but please don't limit yourself to the rather boring "said" all the time. I believe that using another form can heighten the impact of the dialogue. If your character is in pain and crying (or has another intense emotion) when they speak, using "said" will not convey the correct feeling. Try using these more exciting alternatives in such cases:
3. Avoid passive voice as much as possible. Examples of passive voice: had been delayed, will be held. Passive voice also occurs when past tense verbs (tangled, beaten, diagnosed, etc.) follow "were", "was", and "is". This is a very common mistake that many writers do, but once you learn how to rearrange the sentence to change it from passive voice to active voice, it becomes easier to fix and avoid.

Tix Available For Mark Adamo Master Class: The Art of the Aria 12/18
The second event in the FRESHLY BREWED series at OPERA America will be held this weekend on Sunday December 18th at 1:00 PM. Tickets are now on sale for The Art of the Aria with Mark Adamo.
The FRESHLY BREWED series was designed to give the public a chance to see inside ALT's flagship program, the Composer Librettist Development Program (CLDP). This Sunday, AOT invites the public into the CLDP studio during this master class with ALT's Director of Professional Development, composer/librettist Mark Adamo. Best known for Little Women, one of the most produced American operas of all-time, Adamo's critically acclaimed operatic work also includes Lysistrata for Houston Grand Opera, and he is currently writing The Gospel of Mary Magdalene for San Francisco Opera. During this master class, four composer/librettist teams, all Resident Artists in the CLDP, will present new arias. Guest singers soprano Katherine Jolly (New York City Opera, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, Florida Grand Opera) and baritone Dan Kempson (Fort Worth Opera, Pittsburgh Opera, Caramoor Music Festival) will perform the arias, and artists and audiences alike will be invited to discuss the works they have heard.
What is an aria? What is its purpose dramatically and musically within the context of a larger work? Have these arias been successful in accomplishing their goals? Did they engage you? Why or why not? Is the text set well for the voice? This unique look inside the writers' studio will give audiences an opportunity to explore the process of developing new opera, and the opportunity to meet the next generation of operatic writers – the composers and librettists who will be writing the works you will want to hear in the future!
Tickets, which include a light brunch, are available for $20 through SmartTix at http://www.smarttix.com/show.aspx?showcode=FRE49. Advance purchase is required. Due to limited seating capacity at OPERA America, tickets are strictly limited and will not be sold on the day of the event. OPERA America is located at 330 Seventh Avenue (between 28th and 29th), on the 18th Floor.

Who You Help: Child Safety Week
Ruth McDermott
BBC Children in Need Editorial
This week is Child Safety Week, run by the Child Accident Prevention Trust, with the aim of raising awareness of the accidents or incidents that seriously injure or kill children.
Melissa, who has been helped by the Child Brain Injury Trust
Keeping children safe is part of our vision and we aim to do this in a variety of ways through funding projects that are aligned with this vision. You can read more on our aims here. Raising awareness of how to keep children safe is incredibly important but sometimes accidents do happen and we fund projects across the UK which help children and their families cope in these situations.
One such project is The Child Brain Injury Trust (CBIT) in Edinburgh which runs a youth group to help teenagers with brain injuries to make friends, feel less isolated and develop the tools to cope with the changes injury has brought about in their lives. Our grant of £14,522 pays for the salary of a part-time youth worker there called Jim.
Melissa was supported by Jim after she was knocked down by a car in September 2009, aged 8. Melissa used to walk the 100 yards home from school by herself. One day her mum, Barbara, noticed she was late home and went out into the street to look for her. She spotted Melissa's pink bag in the road and immediately knew something awful had happened.
Once in hospital, Melissa's injuries were so severe that her family was told there was a two percent chance that she would make a full recovery. Amazingly, she did. She can now walk and talk and go to school.
Melissa with her family
But she has hidden disabilities that her classmates can't see and this makes things difficult. The CBIT has worked with Melissa's teachers to explain why she has social difficulties and might not comprehend things as quickly as her peers. The Trust also ran a Peer Awareness Session at her school. Now Melissa has joined the youth group and her parents have taken part in fundraising for CBIT.
We fund 12 projects like CBIT supporting children affected by brain and spinal cord injuries, but we also aim to keep children safe from an array of other circumstances such as abuse, neglect, domestic violence or self harm. Child safety can mean many different things and so we will be exploring several projects aiming to keep children safe every day this week.

Gingrich Slams Obama, Media Bias Double Standard
I can't support Newt Gingrich for president with a wishy-washy record like his, but he deserves credit where credit is due. He is very good at keeping the focus where it belongs (on President Obama, and on the media lapdogs who support him) and defending even his fellow Republican competitors in the face of the real and greater threat.
During last night's debate (thank God, is this really the last one?), Gingrich pointed out that the "mainstream" media's hysteria over contraception and Rick Santorum's personal opinion of it is laughably hypocritical, especially when you consider that the "mainstream" media just didn't want to know when it came to Barack Obama's vociferous support of infanticide in 2008.
No, unless you were following the election very closely in 2008, you probably never even heard about Illinois State Senator Barack Obama's vehement support of infanticide.
Did you know that sometimes children survive attempts to kill them in their mother's womb? Yes, they do. In fact, one such survivor is now a speaker on the pro-life circuit.
You would think that, even if a person could bring themselves to kill an innocent human being in the womb, so long as they didn't have to face their victim, at least once that child was outside the womb staring them in the face, they would be able to summon the decency to protect the child's life.
Not Barack Obama. And not the killers he supported during his time in the Illinois Senate.
Obama argued vehemently against legislation that would have forced care givers (notice the irony there?) to render life-saving aid to a child who survived an abortion attempt. You see, many children who survive attempts to kill them in the womb are simply put aside–often in a broom closet or such–and left there to slowly die.
Sound barbaric? Sound brutally cold? It should.
Yet the man sitting in the White House strongly supported this callous, inhuman treatment of innocent human life.
And the "watchdog" media? They didn't want to know in 2008. They still don't want to know.
But given an opportunity to mock and ridicule someone for placing value on innocent human life? They're there with bells on.
Thanks, Newt, for standing with Santorum on this issue and for once again exposing these Leftist propaganda artists who try to pass themselves off as journalists.

We've talked extensively before about the disease diabetes, where pets suffer from either a relative or an absolute shortage of insulin. This lack of insulin results in a condition called hyperglycemia, or increased blood sugar level. Today, we're tackling the opposite problem—hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar.
The term hypoglycemia is used to describe cases where a pet's blood sugar drops below 70, either because of decreased sugar production, increased utilization or increased loss. It is a common occurrence in veterinary patients and has many different causes, including (but certainly not limited to!):
Signs that your pet may be suffering from hypoglycemia are weakness that can lead to collapse, and seizures. These signs may be especially noticeable after exertion, such as exercising or excitement.
Your veterinarian can perform a quick blood test to determine your pet's blood sugar level (the same way that diabetics can). Finding a blood sugar level that is below normal in conjunction with clinical signs confirms hypoglycemia, but it doesn't give an underlying reason for the problem.
Your veterinarian will then take into consideration your pet's signalment. Your pet's signalment is his age, breed, and sex. Some underlying causes for hypoglycemia are more common in certain breeds, or in pets of a certain age. For instance, young toy breed dogs are prone to transient hypoglycemia, while older pets are more prone to endocrine disease, like Addison's disease. Glycogen storage diseases and insulinomas are more common in certain breeds of dogs, like Akitas and Boxers, respectively, so your vet will take that into consideration when she finds hypoglycemia.
Treating hypoglycemia will vary, depending on the underlying cause. Often, getting the cause under control leads to the resolution of low blood sugar, but some pets will need to be hospitalized for IV fluids that contain an extra sugar "boost." Karo syrup can be administered orally at home in a pinch—if you have a dog or cat prone to hypoglycemic episodes, be sure to ask your veterinarian for advice on at home care.
