Our site is currently under maintenance. In the meantime, here are a few things you should know: Between October 15, 2003 and January 15, 2004, the Coalition Provisional Authority issued new Iraqi dinar coins and notes, with the notes printed by De La Rue using modern anti-forgery techniques, to "create a single unified currency that is used throughout all of Iraq and will also make money more convenient to use in peoples everyday lives." Old banknotes were exchanged for new at a one-to-one rate, except for the Swiss dinars, which were exchanged at a rate of 150 new dinars for one Swiss dinar.
These new banknotes led to a new industry of selling the new Iraqi dinar to oversea investors who hoped to profit from Iraq's new currency when the economy improved. The provisional government of Iraq has made this legal, but the banknotes are exchanged at different rates. Due to the success of this program, though, Iraqi dinar has been widely counterfeited. However, there are six different security features on the 25,000 Iraqi dinar note that one can check for authenticity.
Although the value of the dinar appreciated following the introduction of the new banknotes from 4,000 dinars per U.S. dollar, at the time of their introduction, to a high of 980 dinars per dollar, it is now held at a "program" exchange rate, as specified by the International Monetary Fund, of 1170 dinars per US dollar at the Central Bank of Iraq. However, there is not yet a set international exchange rate and so international banks do not yet exchange Iraqi dinar. The exchange rate available on the streets of Iraq is around 1200 dinars per US dollar.
On May 3, 2007, the IMF released a statement in relation to the international compact with Iraq, which has turned the tide in regards to speculation on the Iraq dinar. The contents of the article discuss changes made in Iraq on the economic front of how the Iraq government had eliminated fuel subsidies. The article also stated that the Central Bank of Iraq had raised interest rates in an attempt to allow a gradual appreciation of the dinar in an attempt to fight dollarization of the Iraq economy. There is widespread optimism of some language used later in the press release among some dinar speculators.

Thank you, Sharon. I just tried to upload to the Progressive Scrap gallery with a different 600 X 600 pixel image that was only 79.5 kb and it wouldn't take it either. It says I have 3 images in the que, but I haven't found any way to look at what is in the que or to delete them.
I am seeking help from the rest of the team for you. one thing to look out for is when you upload images it is important not to have any special characters in the name or text. It should only contain letters numbers and an underscore is ok but nothing else so no inverted commas etc
I believe if you have images in the queue then once you can successfully get a new one to get to the second page all of your images in the queue will show there as well for you to process.
i will be back with more help lol
Such beautiful and inspiring layouts.
Thank you, Sharon.

Japanese Classical Acupuncture: Introduction to Meridian Therapy (9780939616114)
Publisher: Eastland Press
Binding: Hardcover
Meridian therapy is a school of Japanese acupuncture which is distinguished by its emphasis on the classics, its utilization of the five-phase points in treating the root of disease, and the importance which it attaches to palpatory skills in diagnosis and point location.
Japanese Classical Acupuncture: Introduction to Meridian Therapy is noted for the clarity and simplicity of its style, and is the most highly regarded introduction to this subject in Japan. The theoretical and historical basis, diagnostic framework and treatment strategies of meridian therapy are discussed in detail.
The author provides a step�by�step introduction to pulse and abdominal diagnosis, and explains how to incorporate the concepts and techniques of meridian therapy into other styles of acupuncture. The text is interwoven with case histories and anecdotes from the author's lengthy practice.
Extensively edited in collaboration with the author to fit the needs of Western acupuncturists, this book opens the door to Japanese classical acupuncture for Western practitioners.

By PAUL NEWBERRYAP Sports Writer
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Then there was one.
The Atlanta Falcons (6-0) are the NFL's last unbeaten team, giving them plenty to gloat about going into a bye week. Coach Mike Smith is giving his players the entire week off, saying it's a good time for everyone to "disconnect."
Even with a perfect record, Smith said Monday there's much for his team to work on, most of it evolving around the running game. Smith says the Falcons need to rush the ball with more consistency, and they've got to do a better job at stopping opposing runners.
Atlanta has won three straight close games against teams that wouldn't be considered among the best in the league: Carolina, Washington and Oakland. But Smith isn't worried about style points. He only cares about scoring more points.

Oh, my day didn't start out on the right foot and went bad from there. I woke up this morning a little later than I had planned even though I was up at 8:00am. I cut my husband's hair, made breakfast, finished sewing on the flowers to my daughters Mother Nature costume and things were humming along. My brother dropped my niece off so she could go with us. We packed up the car, I couldn't find my sunglasses but we went along anyway, stopping at Walmart for some last minute supplies. We get delayed in traffic and I'm ticking off the minutes in my head going AHHHHH at each tock!
We arrive at the Zoo 10 minutes after 2:00pm and try to find a parking spot. My younger daughter hasn't had a nap all day except for the 20-25 minutes in the car on the way to the zoo. We get out of the car and my nearly 2 yr old starts to cry that she doesn't want to wear her Tiger costume. Then she starts to scream and cry about having to go in the stroller to go up to the gates. We gather our things, put them in the empty stroller and head for the gates. We end up waiting in a line for awhile, (yes it's been awhile since I've actually been to the zoo)and find out I was waiting in the Members Only line when we needed to scoot over to General Admission. Have the coupons in hand, cannot find my credit card in my purse to purchase them, so right at hubby is pulling his out, I find mine. AHHHH another moment of panic.
We purchase our tickets and step inside, realizing time has gotten the better of me, it's now 2:15pm. I think think think, how will they recognize me? I posted on the forum my eldest would be Mother Nature, I'd have a pumpkin boy costume for my son (which is a sleep and play outfit) and then my younger daughter would be a tiger (granted not in costume due to fit). So I quickly search for a pen in my purse to scrawl out PE.org on the back of my map to the zoo and my hubby tucks it into the zipper pocket of our snuggly so it can be read as I walk around. I leave him with a map saying the same thing just inside the gates and I walk around to the front of the gates looking to see if anyone is waiting to come inside yet that would be meeting me. AHHHHHHH I do not get anyone to talk to me, but many are now reading my child's hiney! LOL ..
Alas, I walk back through the gates and go back to standing near the dolphin sculptures just inside the general admission gates. I wait there until just after 3:00pm figuring I've either missed everyone or maybe something has come up where no one but us could be there. But I did continue to wear my sign "PE.org" on my son's snuggly hoping someone might see and come approach us.
Well, we ended up leaving the zoo at 6:00pm as we were starting to get a bit cooled off from the temps. On the way home, my 18 yr old Buick decides to say it still has gas in the tank but runs out of gas and we had to pull over. It takes my poor husband (you know, with his knee pain?) 30 minutes to walk up and back to the nearest gas station to fill our tank with enough to get us back to the station to really fill up. Imagine two such tired little ones crying and alternately sleeping in the back seat while two older kids endure in the front. AHHHHH ...
SO here I am trying to help my daughter get her homework done, get some dinner in our systems and get to bed, I'm beat!

Men's adidas Tennis Shoes
adiPower Barricade Shoes
Running White Ftw (V23749)
Size Chart
+ Save To Wishlist
Rated 5 out of 5 by CaseyElton Overall Best Tennis Shoe As a high school varsity player, these shoes helped me get where I am now. I had previously used Barricade Team shoes, but they cannot compare to the real deal. The seamless design makes them comfortable and light. The torsion system in the heel makes mobility easier. The two claws near the front provide great stability. The two 360° rotation circles on the bottom of the shoe make changes in directions on different spots of the foot smoother. The adiPRENE cushions provide maximum comfort on and off the court. Very easy to break in, no matter what type of tennis player you are. Works well on clay court as well as hard court. I would recommend this shoe to any tennis player. February 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by tournamentlife All but the durablilty I got these shoes 4 months ago. The break-in time was astonishingly short, they felt comfortable and well used after one 2 hour practice. They're less stiff than the 6.0, and flex more around the middle of your foot. This was a great improvement. Also, the addition of the thicker padding on the outside of the shoe, near the big toe, was great, as it is much harder to put a hole in them if you drag your foot sideways on the ground. However, the I've ripped through the outsole within 4 months. Any other Barricade shoe I've had has lasted at least 6 months. But other than the slightly shorted lifespan, this is an all around improvement on the 6.0 April 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BJScholl Loved This Shoe...why discontinue it? This was by far the best tennis shoe I've ever owned and in typical fashion the manufacturer (Adidas in this case) has updated the entire model. This shoe was sturdy, good arch support and the sole held up well for a year of playing on hard courts 2-3X a week. The materials used are not the same and the color scheme is different as well. Fortunately I was able to buy one last pair because they still offer the shoe in sizes 6.5, 12 and 13. Lucky for me I wear a size 12. So for now I will still be able to enjoy this great shoe...next year will be different story. January 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Tennis Bum First top of the Line Shoe Been playing for two years. I usually buy a second tier shoe as I didnt believe my game was at a level that would justify the price a top of the line shoe warrants. But with an improved game came a need for a better shoe. I researched all major brands and decided on the Barricade 7.0. Better shoes do make a difference in your game. The arch is higher than other shoes I have worn but they will feel just right after a day on the court. Fit true to size. On the court they are the bomb. Better traction, more confidence in transitions and no discomfort right out of the box. Only issue is concern about how the synthetic uppers will wear - are any cracks or tears in the future. Also, other shoes would leave my achilles tendon sore, not these. I believe I have found a shoe I will stick with for life. Thanks Adidas February 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ThreeFees Adipower Barricade Barricade 7, Adidas' Flagship Tennis Shoe, little to no break in, not heavy, nice fit, very comfortable, I got mine 1/2 size larger so that my toes dont get pinched on sudden stops-fits just right, plenty of wiggle room for the toes, arch support is good and conforms to your arch in a short time-did mine-pronated feet. Dont forget the Adidas Formotion Socks with ankle and arch support-Adidas Flagship Socks. May 29, 2012

So far I own 2 pairs the barricade 2.0 and climawarm runners. Which I've had for 2 years now.. April 19, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Walks for miles Uncomfortable The shoes are beautiful, but I was first dissappointed that the red accents are so orange, and then even more so when I wore the shoes to work one day & realized how uncomfortable they are. I have lots of addidas shoes that I love, but I wish I hadn't worn these outside so that I could still return them. March 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Pun awesome shoes I do not play tennis, but if I did; these are the shoes I'd be working with. Got them for the awesome style, but they are very comfortable as well... A little bit stiffer than a runner, but it's made for tennis! Most shoes I wear an 11...this one 10.5. Not a problem, adidas tends to run half size big. May 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jgbtennis Very, Very, Very Good Shoes These shoes have good stability and seem to be very durable. The inside of the shoe is comfortable and fits around my feet very well. Beware: the arches are very high and may cause unwanted break in pain. In my opinion they are one of the best tennis shoes on the market. April 8, 2012

Duct tape fixes everything!!!!!
1. Remove Warts Apparently it's not just an old wives' tale. Studies of duct tape's effectiveness have yielded mixed results, but some research does suggest regular gray duct tape can assist in wart treatment. To give it a whirl, cover up warts with duct tape every day for six days, then soak the warts in warm water on the seventh day and exfoliate them with an emery board or pumice stone. Repeat this process for as long as two months, and there's a good chance your warts will be gone.
2. Prevent Blisters from Ruining a Workout Avid runners, walkers, and hikers are likely familiar with this trick: When you first feel the symptoms of an impending blister (i.e., burning, friction, or irritation), apply duct tape over the irritated spot as smoothly as possible. If a blister has already developed, protect it from the duct tape's glue by placing a circle of paper or gauze directly over the blister, and then apply the duct tape on top. Voila: Pain be gone!
3. Make an Emergency Bandage If you're nowhere near a first aid kit when someone develops a cut, apply some sterile, absorbent fabric to the wound (a bandana or strip of t-shirt will do in a pinch) and then wrap duct tape around the cut (applying firm, but not constrictive, pressure) to hold the fabric in place.
4. Make a DIY Mask for CPR Needs to administer mouth-to-mouth don't have a CPR mask handy? A strip of duct tape could help save a life. Fold big piece of duct tape over on itself (so that the sticky side isn't exposed) and cut a quick slit to breathe through (important note: do this quickly).
5. Trap Bugs No one wants flying insects buzzing around inside. Keep bugs at bay by hanging long strips of duct tape from the ceiling (like flypaper). If you're looking to get a cardio workout out of your bug trapping, wrap a tennis racket in duct tape (sticky side out) and wave it around to trap the little critters.
6. Keep Socks from Slipping Sliding around in your socks on tile floors is all fun and games until someone crashes and cracks a few bones. Skip the skid by attaching a strip of duct tape to the bottom of each sock in order to make a non-slip sole. (This one's especially handy if you have kids.)
7. Make an Apron Need to protect your clothes from getting messy while whipping up some healthy recipes? No problem — just make an apron from duct tape! Or, heck, just make a whole water-resistant outfit out of duct tape.
8. Make Garden Labels If you're lucky enough to have a garden, keep your herb and produce beds organized with adorable garden labels made from aluminum duct tape.
9. Work Out — Intensely A thirty-minute, high intensity interval training workout using nothing but duct tape (and an optional jump rope)? Count us in!
10. Get Stronger Arms This move is super simple, but if the Marine Corps Times recommends it, we're going to assume it's pretty legit. Just hold a large roll of duct tape out to your side, and keep holding it there until you no longer can. Then repeat with the other arm.

A little late this week but better late than never, right? I know you're probably reeling after the advice I gave on the waiver wires last week but I was right about Julius Thomas so cut me some slack now.
Last week I was fortunate enough to land Thomas off of the waiver wire and that hurt me because I forgot to start him -___-. I got blown out to begin with so it would have only softened the loss a little bit. Here's who to keep an eye out for on the waiver wires this week:
1. Deandre Hopkins, WR Texans
Hopkins will only be a third option for the Texans all season long, barring injury to Andre Johnson, but he proved his upside in an overtime win against the Titans. Hopkins had seven catches for 117 yds and the game winning touchdown. He was also targeted 13 times by Matt Schaub.
2. Charles Clay, TE Dolphins
If you didn't win the Julius Thomas Sweepstakes (like I did) then Clay is a solid look for a TE if you're in desperate need (like I am in my other league with Scott Chandler & Brandon Pettigrew doing nothing so far). Clay had a rushing TD against the Colts on Sunday and had five catches for 109 yds. He's slowly building a good relationship with Ryan Tannehill and that could be good for future games.
3. Marlon Brown, WR Ravens
With the injury to Jacoby Jones in week one making Brown step up, he has showed out in this opportunity. He's had back to back weeks with a touchdown and with Ray Rice being possibly injured the Ravens could be passing a lot more. Look for Brown to have a bunch of looks this coming weekend.
4. Jason Snelling, RB Falcons
With the injury to Steven Jackson, it could mean that Jacquizz Rodgers starts and Snelling would be the #2 guy this week. If that's the case, look for him to get some carries and pick up some points for you in a possible flex spot or even on your bench for a tie breaker.
I'll be back tomorrow with the second week of "Start 'Em/Sit 'Em" to help you get ready for the third week of football. Hope these guys can help your squad to a win this week!

Have you ever had one of these? The Tomahawk steak is a HUGE version of the ribeye, but with the entire bone left in. Its amazing!
You'll need a bit more time on the grill (I use charcoal) due to the thickness. You can't really tell, but this one was about 3 inches thick, and it took about 30 minutes to get to medium rare.
But it was AWESOME!!!

Not only are the results 'eye'-mmediate (in just 30 seconds, the Opal starts working to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles), they last for hours and keep getting better the more you use it.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Some National Parks are preparing to close their gates -- at least temporarily -- as a result of forced government budget cuts due to take effect on Friday.
The impact on the overall federal budget and deficit reduction is miniscule, but the meaning of cuts to local businesses in and around treasured landmarks that host nearly 300 million visitors a year is all too real.
The park service must slash $110 million from its annual budget of $2.2 billion under the so-called government-wide sequester that will be set in motion unless Congress acts this week to stop it.
It will mean cuts to a variety of essential services.
The National Mall, the Statue of Liberty and Yellowstone National Park will be affected, according to John Garder, budget and appropriations legislative representative for the National Parks Conservation Association.
Yellowstone could lose $1.7 million, while the National Mall would lose $1.6 million and the Statue of Liberty almost $780,000.
Jan Stoddard, marketing director for the West Yellowstone, Montana, Chamber of Commerce said the park and its visitors are the "lifeblood" of her community.
"Limiting access to the park even for a few weeks can have significant impacts on the bottom line of a small business reliant on those visitors," Stoddard said. "These visitors contribute tax dollars and support jobs."
So what are these cuts actually worth?
The Park Service operates on $2.2 billion annually, or a tiny fraction of the federal budget. But its sites pump $31 billion into local economies and visitation has been up despite a sluggish economy.
National parks contribute more than 270,000 jobs outside of the National Park Service like lodging, food and beverage services, and recreation and entertainment.
"It is important to note that proposed cuts to Yellowstone and Glacier national park budgets will save the federal government $2.5 million, but in all likelihood tax losses due to reduced tourism could offset the savings. Last year non-resident tourism to Montana generated approximately $253 million in federal taxes," Stoddard said.
According to Forbes, eight of the top 25 U.S. tourist destinations are national parks.
In a memo leaked last week, the National Park Service outlined some of the more specific changes and closures that would be attributed to the proposed spending cuts.
For instance, Gettysburg National Park that honors the famous Civil War battle would eliminate 20% of its spring Student Education Programs, impacting 2,400 students.
Grand Canyon National park will reduce hours of operation at the main visitor center, affecting at least 250,000 people.
In a statement released on Monday, the White House said that "many of the 398 national parks across the country would be partially or fully closed" and other parks would experience shorter hours, fewer employees and limited camping and hiking spaces.
In the 2011 fiscal year alone, funding for the park service was cut by almost $140 million. From 2002 to 2011, the budget fell by 13% overall.
According to Garder, recent austerity has taken a toll with deferred maintenance requests running into the billions of dollars.
In the long term, Garder fears further cuts could have a detrimental impact on the vitality of national parks, including limited resources for "curbing invasive species and long term protection [of park areas]."
Areas managed directly by the National Park Service won't be the only ones to experience the pain of spending restrictions.
The Three Bear Lodge and Restaurant in West Yellowstone, Montana, will feel it, too.
"Because of the seasonality of our business and the fact that our town of West Yellowstone basically shuts down whenever Yellowstone closes, we need revenue generated every day in order to stay solvent on a year around basis," owner Clyde Seely said.
"Opening our businesses for shorter time periods or causing reductions in visitation during the shoulder seasons of the Park will cause proportionate reductions in the overall economy."
Almost 279 million people visit national parks each year.
Visitor concessions like souvenir shops, lodging, transportation, equipment rental and food services will suffer from the decrease in tourism caused by the limitation in park hours.
"There is a breaking point and once we reach that and services begin to suffer, this will be directly reflected in the experience our visitors are having and that poses the greatest danger -- when we can no longer deliver on the promised experience," Stoddard says.
But economist Isabelle Sawhill from the Brookings Institution says the cuts in cases like this aren't that significant.
"I think almost any organization can sustain a 5% cut in their budget and not have it interfere with their basic mission," she says.
Garder disagreed.
"The budgeting process is completely broken. It's Congress' job to figure out where investments should be made and where agencies should be cut, it's a mindless process and it's not meant to become policy.

Wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, who was dismissed by Missouri in April, was added to the Oklahoma Sooners' roster, coach Bob Stoops announced Thursday.
The 6-foot-6, 220-pound Green-Beckham made a morning visit with the Sooners. He had 59 receptions for 883 yards and 12 touchdowns as a sophomore last season for Missouri.
"We are pleased to welcome Dorial to the University of Oklahoma, where he is excited to continue his education and resume his playing career," Stoops said in a statement. "Dorial understands the privilege and responsibilities of representing the Oklahoma football program. He is a talented young man who is eager to get to work with the rest of our team in the classroom and on the field."
According to ESPN.com, Green-Beckham is exploring if there is any way he can get a waiver from the NCAA to play this season.
"I appreciate this opportunity from Coach Stoops and the University of Oklahoma," Green-Beckham said in the statement issued by the university. "There are people here who will help me build a strong foundation. I've disappointed myself and others in the past. I know that I have a lot of work to do and I'm ready to get started."
Oklahoma was one of the finalists for Green-Beckham out of high school before he eventually picked Missouri.
Missouri dismissed Green-Beckham on April 11 for allegedly forcefully entering an apartment at 2:30 a.m. and allegedly pushed a woman down several stairs. He was also arrested on a drug charge in January after a car he was in with two other men was pulled over and the police officer reported smelling marijuana coming from the car. It was the second marijuana-related arrest for Green-Beckham since arriving at Missouri in 2012.
Green-Beckham is rated as the No. 4 junior wide receiver (class of 2016) by NFLDraftScout.com.
NFLDraftScout.com Senior Analyst Rob Rang views Green-Beckham as a potential high first-round pick if he can put his off-the-field issues behind him.

They met at uni, both borders at union college but it would take Barry another year to make his move on this girl that had won his heart!
A day at the races, followed by a city cat trip home ( which they quickly realised was the wrong cat and was taking them in the wrong direction) and then stopping for a kebab due to missing the dinner run at uni, sealed the deal!
This was the start of this beautiful love affair that has seen them traveling , loving and supporting each other for the last 10 years, ending at the begining in this beautiful wedding day surrounded by close family and friends.
So much fun, so much love and a few tears ended in us recreating the day they got together. Just before midnight we took the city cat into the city and had another little photo shoot with just the two of them at the end of the night.

Did Jennifer Lawrence Finally Have a Fashion Faux Pas? [PHOTOS]
Jennifer Lawrence is widely regarded as one of the best-dressed young stars in Hollywood. We can't argue. Her ensembles are usually magnificent. But then she wore this strange dress with a sheer window built into the skirt — one that didn't need to be there at all.
The panel took the short-in-front, long-in-back dress from "do" to "don't." Instead of showing a hint of her gams with sheer fabric, why not just show off her amazing stems?
The strapless navy Dior frock, worn at the Madrid premiere of 'Catching Fire,' would have been flawless if that sheer swath of fabric didn't exist. And now that the actress has that punk pixie (which she owns, BTW), a bare neck and bare shoulders were a mistake. A chunky statement necklace was necessary.
She did look bangin' in Italy in this short frock.
And she looked great in a pale yellow, geometric gown by Dior Haute Couture. She is a spokesmodel for the Dior house, so it makes sense that she is almost always cloaked in Dior. #AListerProblems.

Have you seen the 52 Week Money Challenge? It is a way to save money by putting away a small amount of money each week, as the year progresses, the money you save increases so that by the end of the year you will have saved $1,378.
Perfect for Christmas shopping, paying off debt, vacation planning maybe?
I've heard some say they actually put in more money at the beginning of the year and less at the end when money is tighter for them. I would suggest putting in more money when you have it for times when money is low so you can stay on track.
Almost halfway through the year I know but it isn't too late to start if you haven't already. (It is NEVER too late to try to save money.)
I had never heard of this challenge before but have been told by friends and a co-worker they've done it before and its worked very well for them. No harm in trying it out I guess.

Undergraduate Programs in Human Rights
The University of Connecticut offers both a major or minor in human rights. Explore this section of the Human Rights Institute's website to learn more about how human rights can become part of your undergraduate education.
The Study of Human Rights
What are human rights? How has the concept of human rights evolved? How and why have human rights been violated, both in the United States and abroad? How have people struggled against human rights violations and with what success? What protections against violations of human rights exist, and how can these protections be enhanced and made more effective? These are the type of questions that human rights students are encouraged to pursue. In the human rights major and minor, students receive interdisciplinary instruction in theoretical, comparative, and historical perspectives on human rights through classroom courses and gain valuable practical experience in the human rights field through a supervised internship.

February 14 would have been my due date. "What an appropriate
due date!" people would often tell me. Now it's just a day
that I have been dreading ever since my son passed away.
It is very painful to think that so much has happened in the last 3 months and he...really should STILL be in my tummy. We miss him so
much. Our lives are forever changed. We no longer have the same
dreams; aspirations and hope...

Incredible dash cam video released Friday shows a Warren police officer getting shot in the chest. He survived, his bullet-proof vest taking the bullet and giving him a chance to get away.From dash cam, you see Warren police officers walking to a house investigating a call of a man threatening someone with a gun. Moments later there is a shot from the suspect off camera and Officer Daniel Viars, an eight year veteran, can be seen falling into the street.Viars drops his gun and flashlight, then gets a hold of his weapon and crawls and rolls. He fires his gun at the suspect as he continues to crawl to safety behind a police cruiser."He didn't know until he got to the hospital and they took the round out of his vest, he didn't know that there was not penetration, didn't break the skin or anything. He thought he was in more serious trouble," said Police Commissioner Jere Green.The .380 caliber round from the suspect's handgun was lodged in the officer's vest, but it was a very close call. The bullet was found just inches from the edge of the vest and inches from piercing the 35-year-old officer's abdomen.Viars and the other officers returned fire. The 53-year-old suspect, Robert Anthony Day, was shot and killed.Viars approved the dash cam video release."Let people see the dangers police officers run into every day," Green said. "Officer Viars even said yesterday that you go to a scene and it seems like a simple thing and they get ugly fast, and that's really the purpose of releasing the video."Viars will be allowed to return to duty whenever he wants. He can be off as long as needed. He is home with his wife and family.The rest of the officers that were involved in that shooting will be returning to duty on Sunday.

Rantankerous [ran-tank'uhr-us] (adjective) - A combination of rant [to speak in a wild or extravagant manner] and cantankerous [contentious, disagreeable]. The word is a creation of the Raycom Digital Hub staff and the only suitable description for the arguments between Brian "What We Learned" Tynes and George "Hot Reads" Jones, which until now have never been recorded.
(RNN) - I'm rubber and you're glue, but if you make fun of me too much I'll leave my job and the rest of the world will see what a jerk you are.
That probably wasn't exactly what was running through the mind of Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin, but on the outside that's sure what it looks like.
The hot mess that the Dolphins' locker room has regressed into is just one of the topics we tackle this week.
Jumping subjects, whether you like or hate Northwestern's Wounded Warrior uniforms - or whether you think the pattern is a distressed flag or a bloody one - we drop some meaty tidbits about that, too.
And finally, we'll add one more horn to the raucous parade that is escorting the BCS system out of our lives.
Include your thoughts and disagreements of your own in the comments section below, and look for a new edition of Rantankerous next week.

Ripon Christian drew several fouls in the second quarter and took advantage of its opportunities from the free-throw line to build a 31-15 lead at the half.
The Knights, the No. 3 seed in 12-team Division V bracket, went 24-for-34 from the line, while the Dragons, the No. 11 seed, went 7-for-13 on free throws.
The Dragons (17-8, 13-1 Mountain Valley League) stayed in the game with outside shooting from sophomore guard Drammell Pitts. The team's leading scorer with 14 points, Pitts hit four 3-point shots, including one at the final buzzer of both the first and second quarters.
But the Knights (23-4, 14-0 Southern League) were strong on the inside, outrebounding the Dragons and holding 6-foot-5 Delta Charter senior center Joseph Peebles to 10 points, about half his per-game average.
"We played a very physical game both ways," Peebles said. "In the end, I don't think that they beat us physically, but maybe they did beat us in transition."
Delta Charter was the only Tracy-area basketball team to make the second round of the playoffs, and it's the farthest the team has gone in the postseason in its four years, including three years as the Mountain Valley League champion.
"We wanted to go all the way to the (section) championship and win it all, but we played a good season," Peebles said. "In my senior year, I was happy that I got to play with this team and that we got as far as we did, and I hope they go further next year."

Some will tell you that the last few weeks were epic. And they were. World records. A Spice Girls reunion. Que pourriez-vous demander de plus ?
Well, for starters: sleep. No matter your time zone, these Games have sucked up loads of nerves and energy. While PUMA athletes and teams were running laps, triathlons, and marathons (and winning, by the way, winning big time) most of us were running on pure adrenaline by Day 7.
These events bring out the fanatic and patriot in us all. For those of us rooting for Sweden, we held our thumbs until they damn near snapped off. Which is why we were extra grateful for stumbling upon Fika on Brick Lane. It helped us cope with the highs, lows, and long nights.
First, our apologies to Great Britain for ditching afternoon tea for the traditional Swedish fika-a break that takes place late morning and always includes coffee and oftentimes traditional pastry. London's Fika Bar & Kitchen does just that and then some with its reindeer-adorned walls, twangy music, and authentic-and-caffeine-packed coffee. It quickly became one of our favorite local nooks.
Did we mention that it has a roof deck? Fika has a roof deck.
After a few stops by this little Swedish haven, we still held our thumbs, but not so tensely. And for that, we say, tack.

*The literal translation means "holding your thumbs" which is what Swedish fans do as opposed to crossing their fingers.

Going back to school -- is that good or bad when it comes to our kids' nutrition? We asked a local pediatrician, who said he fights a food battle every day with three small warriors.
Even Dr. Marcus DeGraw with St. John Providence Health System admitted getting kids to eat right is not an easy job. The good news is returning to school can bring a return to structure.
"It gives them a lot of structure, keeps them busy throughout the day so they're not snacking all the time like they can during the summer."
In fact, new Department of Agriculture guidelines are kicking in this fall, which means schools must offer more fruits, veggies, whole grains and low fat dairy. It's a step in the right direction said Dr. DeGraw, who believes a serving of low fat chocolate milk is a pretty good option.
"So there's sugar there, but it's also balanced with the fact that it's milk, so you start with a healthy base, and then the fact that the chocolate milk has a high level of protein, calcium and phosphorus with it helps balance out that calorie risk."
Sugary drinks and snacks can be huge empty calorie culprits when you're trying to pack lunches or balance the after school hustle and bustle. Here's a lesson for kids and adults. Before school even starts, every time you eat or drink something, it should have some benefit.
"If you give your child a snack and you look at it and you say is there anything healthy in this at all like Doritos or Cheetos or Fritos, there's nothing healthy there, then it shouldn't be a mainstay for their snacking or their lunches."
It's called food with function, and remember if you don't want your kids eating the junk food, don't even bring it into your house.
Some simple snack ideas include carrots with ranch, apples with peanut butter, celery with cream cheese. Click here for some others.

:hooray: I'm still excited!!
I went on sort of a mini rant on twitter last night. I was mostly angry at DH and our communication problems but I took it out on twitter. I said we can't rely on ancient "values" in a modern society and if you think that denying people the right to marry the person they love is a value, you can unfollow me. I didn't lose anybody...but nobody really pays attention to me anyway. LOL
Awww Kate. I have a twitter account, but I almost never look at it.
I never look at my twitter either. Someone signed me up, I think my little cousin lol.
I am so glad the election is over.
I don't think I told you ladies, but tomorrow is my GRE test. I am somewhat nervous as I don't feel that I've studied enough Verbal (vocab, reading, writing) as I was focusing on math thinking that I would do fairly well on Verbal as I was an English major and I read a lot and I write a lot of argument responses of essay lengths on various internet sources lol.
But I am going to apply at Columbia and they say they like their students to score within the 95th percentile for Verbal and when I re-read that recently, I was like "why didn't I just not study math and only study Verbal?" I think I should have just focused on Verbal. But eh...test is tomorrow so I hope they don't throw words at me that I don't know what they are. I have been using an online software for test prep and I am doing pretty well based on their scoring models for Verbal. Also, I really don't want to live in NYC even though Columbia houses resources that precisely fit my interest, which is the only reason why I am applying to them. I keep thinking since I don't want to live there that I'll get in lol. Stuff like that always happens to me.
Erin, you're a natural with verbal. I don't think you have to worry. You will rock the test.
Would you move the kids to NYC if you get into Columbia?
Big standardized test hugs from here!!!
Erin, you'll do great, I have no doubt. Good luck!
I follow celebs on twitter. It's a great way to get advance notice about concerts, contests and stuff. Plus sometimes they actually respond to me. LOL
Back when NKOTB first reunited there was a big frenzy of course and I met a lot of new people and talked to them, shared stories, etc. But now that that's died down twitter's not as active for me.
I got a couple positive responses about my tirade, anyway. :D
Good luck Erin!
Lots of happiness in my house last night too!
Erin, I think that you will do great at verbal!
Haha Kate....did you see this one I posted on FB....Says "The fact that you can't sell your daughter for three goats and a cow means we've already redefined marriage."
My dad replies....that is too bad, I could have used three goats and a cow. lol
Yes, we would all move to NYC. It is for a PhD program and at Columbia and many other top schools they fully fund all accepted PhD candidates and they are provided a living stipend and given resources to find cheaper than average housing. NY is way too expensive for my taste but I know DH would love it as he loves big cities - all except LA because he thinks (and don't take offense our CA ladies) that California is filled with "fruits and nuts" lol! He got that from a Steinbeck novel. I think "East of Eden" and has loved that phrase ever since, especially because his "ex-baby momma" is from CA and he considered her both a fruit and a nut.
My DH wants to move away from here and the contract that my company is working under may not be renewed at the end of the fiscal year, so we were looking to go back up north.
Where else are you looking at Erin?
LOL. Plenty of fruits and nuts here, and I'm not offended. :) Good luck with Columbia. You should be fine there. I know it's competitive, but you seem to be a really good student and have done well academically so far.
Good luck, Erin!
Mandy, I know it's a loaded question but...how are you?:hugs: I just have been thinking about you constantly.
Oh, except tell your DH that LA is very different from the rest of CA, as I'm sure you already know. Even the rest of the state has it in for Los Angeles, which I find funny. (I posted that weird video on my FB page - The "LA, You're Not Berkeley Enough" Rap, which my friend sent me and I didn't really get, but thought it had a couple funny lines.) I actually once wrote an essay on my old website about LA haters - back when there were no blogs and I was using my website as a sort of a blog. Basically, it just had to do with my observations about how people hate L.A. because they perceive their town as being in some rivalry with it, or they form opinions of the place based on what they see on T.V. or one or two people they meet from LA. Then people from L.A. who are on the receiving end of the hate are just like, "Wha? Huh?" because they're totally oblivious to the fact that there's some sort of competition going on. It totally cracks me up. Anyway, Erin, I'd hate to think you'd pass up an opportunity to study at a good university elsewhere in CA like Stanford or something (that might have a suitable program for you) based on your hubby's idea that there's no gravitas to the place. Geographically, it is really far away from you, though, I know, and with all the excellent schools on your side of the country, you don't really have to look westward. I'm just sure L & I would LOVE to have you near us.
I am all looking at University of Pennsylvania, Emory here in Atlanta, Ohio State University, University of Chicago, and Georgia State University, here in Atlanta as well.
DH thinks I'll get into an Atlanta school so we will have to stay here. But who knows, I may not get into any as all of them, even Georgia State are rather competitive, UPenn, Emory, Columbia, and UofC, are the most competitive. The only one that said the even look at the GRE test in regards to qualifications was Columbia though and I see why they do as they are the most competitive on the list and get a thousand applicants per year for the degree program I am seeking, they only accept about 20 people per year. I did have excellent grades in undergrad but that was sometime ago and if I cannot get into any of the above, I can always go back to my undergrad university for an MA, as I feel I may be out of sorts in academic writing/relevant topics, and then get more involved in current trends before going for the PhD at a later time.
Myles, I have thought that I may want to apply to Berkeley or Stanford, and there are a ton of great schools in California. I have met the department heads of UC Irvine and Berkeley as they are good friends of the department head at my alma mater and recently came a couple months ago to put California in the minds of us who are thinking of furthering our education via a graduate degree.
It is so far though. My mom would probably trip out if I moved out west. But if this time does not turn out, and I go back for the MA I will probably apply to Irvine, Berkeley and Stanford because they have such stellar programs.
I also have told DH that he has a CA bias. His "ex-baby momma" was from Bakersfield and she had family in LA so he used to visit out there a lot. He didn't like either one of those areas. My former boss used to live in San Diego and is considering moving back there in 5 years as she loved it. She cracks me up because she said even the ghetto in San Diego is nice compared to big cities east of the Mississippi. I told my dad that and he agreed. His half brother lives in San Diego and he used to visit them a lot when he was driving big rigs a few years ago and his brother's son lives in the ghetto in San Diego and dad thought it was crazy how nice the ghetto was lol!
Aww, you see... now you're just building my hopes up that you could still move out here. I feel like you would fit right in, and I have so many people I'd be proud to introduce you to. (I mean, proud because of you, not proud because of them, although they're pretty cool too. LOL.)
Stanford, btw, is great of course, but it's so expensive that even my friends who work there and are entitled to subsidized tuition don't plan to send their kids there because they'd be better off getting reimbursed sending their kids to a UC like Berkeley, UCLA, Santa Cruz, San Diego, Irvine, etc. And then there are the Cal State unis too, which are not as highly regarded as the UCs but they have some good programs. My niece is looking at Cal State Long Beach for a physical therapy program. I hope she heads our way. We'd totally try to get her to move in and manage our house nearby there. Maybe she could room with some of her friends.
Not that we could easily get rid of our current tenant in that house. I'm still scratching my head at how she is an OR nurse. She is an incoherent nervous wreck every time I talk to her. Seriously, in every other sentence, she mentions how she's been so stressed out about one thing or another lately and she's sorry if she sounds out of sorts. Yet somehow she manages to pay her rent 10 days in advance every month. It's one of my great mysteries.
Good luck Erin!!
psst...I see you neglected to add Cornell to the list of schools you're applying to. I'm sure you'll rectify that ASAP! :P
Oh, Erin, what about Oxford over here or Cambridge? :D We're going to start fighting over you soon! Good luck with it all!
People on FB are annoying me today, feeling sorry for themselves and complaining. Whinging whine bags they are! (Whinge is an awesome Brit word!)
Chrissy, I did look into Cornell! They require a subject GRE test, I didn't sign up for it and now it is too late as I don't think it will be enough time to study and take the test before Cornell's deadline. They are only one out of like 20 schools I looked at who require the subject test and not just the general GRE.
ETA: Stanford offers full funding plus stipend for all graduate students in the field I am pursuing so the actual tuition/fees portion would be covered there. I would only worry about general living expenses as I don't know much about that area in regards to affordability and so I see it more like NYC as somewhere too expensive for me. DH's CA bias also speaks of how expensive things are there so I think he has rubbed off on me. As someone who is super frugal, I would dread moving to an expensive place just because of the cost of things, especially housing.
Bummer :cry: Leave it to Cornell.
My friends who live in Menlo Park nearby Palo Alto are paying $2300 for a small, but well-kept, non-descript 2 BR apartment. They're currently targeting a home in the $850k range to stay in the area where they can still walk everywhere and bike to work (both @ the univ). They're having a hard time finding a home that *cheap*. East Palo Alto is adjacent, and much more affordable (by CA standards), but also has the reputation of being the violent crime capital of the area.
You'd definitely have to think of the CA dollar as a different currency, like the Yen or Pound sterling. It is like moving to a different country with its own unique economy. Coffee isn't (necessarily ;)) $5 here, but some basics like gas, insurance and housing do just cost more. Target/Walmart prices are the same, though. Good, fresh food is plentiful and cheap year round. And the wages do offset the cost of living. If planned correctly, the higher wages can translate into a higher savings rate. Also, for example, a 500k home that increases 10% in value will yield greater profit than a comparable 100k home out of state that appreciates at the same rate in the same amount of time. (You just have to be ok with having your money tied up in your home while it appreciates.) And then you can take your extra savings/earnings and retire out of state if you like. I'm just trying to sell you on coming out here because I'd be so happy about it.
I sometimes try to convert what some of you would be earning here in Cali doing the same jobs whenever one of you mentions your income. Like, one of my friends runs an at-home daycare by herself in my neighborhood, and she works very hard and is very good at it. There's always a waiting list. She easily pulls in 6 figures. I think Bridget would be a hot ticket in this area with all she has to offer. Just sayin'.
Aaand that's the end of my break.
The department head at UC Irvine also told me that wages are greater in CA than in other places so that in a lot of ways they even out in regards to expenses. I have also heard the same from people from NYC, who move here for a better cost of living and are surprised at how poorly people here are paid.
For example, I have a friend who is a prison guard in our county jail. He is from NY. The county jail here starts off at $25K if you have a degree it is $35K. In NYC if he worked at Rikers he would make about $70K. The mother of my roommate in college worked at Rikers Island as a prison guard and she make over $90K per year. So there is a big difference.
The daycare stuff is amazing IMO as well. My mom, when she did her daycare, didn't make all that much money. She loved her job though so it was worth it, but she usually only pulled a little under $60K per year and that is with 24 hour daycare Mon-Sat. She also did after school care for siblings of the babies and she did 3rd shift, was the only one in our area who did, so made most of her money that way.
If she was here in Atlanta, even though the cost per week is almost the same as Ohio, (I only paid $100 a week for Elle at her previous daycare and only $160 per week now at her preschool) she would make more money because more people self pay and don't rely on our state's daycare assistance. It is difficult to get the assistance here if you work, which is weird, mostly students who work part time that I know of get it. So people who do homebased daycares usually make quite a bit of money if they are between the amounts weekly that I paid for Elle. Babies have to pay more but people will pay extra for good food and attention for their kids and be happy they moved from Chicago or NY or LA, as I know people from all those places who say they easily pay more than $1000K per month for daycare or near that for Chicago. My former daycare provider told me she usually brought home about $2000 per week just working the daycare by herself, which is great for only watching 6-8 kids Mon-Fri, day shift only.
That's it. I'm applying for jobs in CA. I'm done with winters!! lol
So we are all moving to Cali then, is it? I'm ready for a change! I am pretty sure we are actually saving money with what I was getting this summer. All my families were on assistance and and they were paying me less than $4 an hour which after the price of the food and supples I was buying, it just wasn't making me any money. These were families I'd cared for for years though so wasn't about to turn them away. Also could have asked for a co-pay but they could just go to a center and the gov't covers the full amount, or closer to it, in that case.
I'm really happy right now just homeschooling my kids and I don't miss doing daycare at all. It's really great to be able to focus all of my attention on my own kids. I have to finish out this week with the before and after school and driving the kids and then we will be free as birds :)
Erin, you've inspired me once again. I'm going to attempt to caulk my bathroom tonight. Lol. I remember you saying you always did that yourself. I don't know wtf dbf was thinking but he did an awful job and globbed it on so thick that when I try to wash it, it starts to tear away. It's looking pretty awful. Or was looking pretty awful. I've gotten most of it up now. I can't figure out why he does a crap job at our house when I know he has done these sorts of jobs for other people and they would not pay him if it looked like that. Wouldn't you want your own house to look the best?
I am starting to think Savana gets that seasonal depression. She is not a fan of the cold weather, or I should say she is not a fan of putting warm clothes on. She HATES socks and coats and all that jazz. She'd sooner go out in 40 degree weather with bare feet, I swear. I have to call her back in and make her put stuff on and she insists she is fine. Anyway, since the weather turned here she is coming back to some of her old compulsive behaviours. They were at their worst in the heart of the winter. I think she really actually NEEDS the elements of nature. In the warm months she will literally sit in the grass in the front yard for hours. Poor darling. We will have to get her somewhere warm year round in the near future.
:( Oh dear. That's so sad...especially if it is seasonal.
I'm hoping to get through it this year a little easier. I've been talking to her about it and how we have to try to get outside and enjoy the winter. It is easier to stay inside when it's cold. I am guilty of that myself. I've been scouring craigslist and want to get snowshoes for all of us and beginner skis for them to go up and down our back yard which is a big hill. I've already found one pair of children's snowshoes and possibly a pair for me. Skis I am having a hard time with as there are so many choices and I'm not a skier (sp? 2 i's?) myself so not sure of the feature I need to look for.
So, you are applying to UA too, right? It is a really good public university - more research focused, though. Not sure how it is with your area of interest but I actually suspect it's pretty good.

|Letter to Evelyn concerning death of Douglas Aplin
|In Memory of
Lance Corporal Douglas Aplin
Douglas George Bartlett Aplin was born on 13th December 1895 in Durston, Somerset, and was the third child and first son for George Aplin and Jane (nee Bartlett).
Douglas Aplin (service number 11537) joined the British Army late 1914, or early 1915.
He served with the 15th (The King's) Hussars in France as a Cavalry Soldier, and fought in various battles, including the Battle of the Somme in 1916.
Douglas was promoted to Lance Corporal in 1916, and was put in charge of a machine gun team.
Douglas and his cousin Evelyn Vera Aplin (daughter of Edwin Aplin and Ellen Jane nee Samways) became very close and were briefly engaged after his last leave home in October/November 1917. However, Douglas was killed in action during the Battle of Cambrai on the 24th November 1917. Douglas was fighting dismounted during the action at Bourlon Wood.
Unfortunately, like many soldiers of the First World War, Douglas has no known grave and is remembered with honour on the Cambrai Memorial, Louverval, France.
His friend, Harold Baker, who himself died as a result of the war in 1918 wrote a letter to Evelyn Vera Aplin explaining what happened to Douglas.

Ski Pants and Clothing Recommended Buying Advice
Selecting the best ski pant depends on your skiing needs. That's why it's important to think about how, when and where you'll be skiing before you make your preseason purchases. Do you need the warmth of extra insulation or the versatility of a ski pant shell? If you're a beginner or recreational skier who tends to ski early in the season, insulated ski pants will serve you well, especially if you find yourself waiting in long lift lines or for your friends or ski class at the bottom of a ski run. If you're a backcountry skier who hikes or climbs up to the receding snowline late in the season, vented shell mountaineering pants from Mountain Hardwear or Patagonia with a combination of inner layers could give you extra versatility for varied conditions.
Can you wear the same pants for skiing and snowboarding? Twenty years ago snowboarders didn't have much of a choice, but now ski pants and snowboard pant designs feature specialized innovations that are often articulated to how your legs and knees bend or turn for each sport. If you're just starting out and exploring either sport, an insulated ski bib or ski pant with suspenders will probably suit you just fine, but intermediate skiers and snowboarders have specific and higher performance needs that are best suited for specialized outerwear like Spyder, Descente or Marker. Some snowboard pants offer extra fleece padding in the seat and knee areas for rest stops, although skiers who use these pants find that the extra insulating material adds bulk that doesn't help--unless they're stuck for a half hour on a stalled chairlift in a blizzard. Most ski pants also feature extra durable scuff guards along the hem inseams to minimize the abrasive wear caused by sharp ski edges rubbing up against the lower pant fabric.
Ski pants venting configurations are another key consideration for advanced skiers who tend to either ski through the year or hike into the remote areas in the backcountry. Performance snowboard pants from Oakley and Burton usually offer zippered vent openings along the inseam thigh areas, but this cooling design is best suited for optimizing airflow in a snowboarding stance. Ski pant vents and zipper openings are usually found along outseams on pants from Marker, Spyder and The North Face. Some skiers swear that the full-length zipper designs are the only way to go, especially if you're removing outer layers on sunny days, but other skiers find that they rarely or never take advantage of the full zipper design. If you tend to ski hot even in damp conditions, consider the drier advantages of zippered ski vents with mesh linings. The cost for mesh-lined vents is usually a little more, but most skiers find that they don't need to change out of their inner layers after a damp day on the mountain.
