Glenn Holloway's predictable life ended the day he confessed his homosexuality to his family. As if that wasn't enough, he then poured salt in the wound by walking away from the ranch he'd grown up on, to open the restaurant he'd always dreamed of. Without support from his father and brother, and too proud to accept assistance from anyone else, he had to start from scratch. Over time things worked out: Glenn successfully built a strong business, created a new home, and forged a life he could be proud of.
Despite his success, his estrangement from the Holloways is still a sore spot he can't quite heal, and a called-in favor becomes Glenn's worst nightmare. Caught in a promise, Glenn returns to his roots to deal with Rand Holloway and comes face-to-face with Mac Gentry, a man far too appealing for Glenn's own good. It could all lead to disaster—disaster for his tenuous reconnection with his family and for the desire he didn't know he held in his heart.
*sighs* I loved it.
Glenn Holloway is finally living his life the way he wants to. He has his restaurant, which is not only successful but home and family to a mish-mash group of people working there. The only thing missing is someone special in his life. The truth is, he desperately wants what Rand Holloway has with his husband, Stefan.
The craving in me could be traced back to Rand. I blamed him. I wanted what he and Stef had. I wanted the monogamous, go to bed at night and wake up in the morning with deal. A guy who would look at me like I wasn't stupid, who thought I had a lot to offer, who would actually just see me… That's what I craved.
When Stef calls in a favor and asks for Glenn to help Rand on a cattle drive, Glenn's brought face to face with the sexy foreman of the Red Diamond, Maclain Gentry. Little does he realize that Mac's had his eye on him for a while.
"How did you know there was no one for me?"
"Remember how I told you I've been keeping tabs on you?"
I did. "Yeah."
"What I didn't say was that any guy lingering around your restaurant waiting for it to close, waiting to get a chance at you… I've quietly discouraged them."
"You're lying." I chuckled, my heart beating wildly, hoping it was true. To someone else it might seem a bit scary; to me, staking that kind of claim was crazy, stupid hot.
Told entirely from Glenn's POV, I absolutely love how Mary Calmes writes an alpha, possessive male, without it being overly creepy or hitting my "call the police!" panic vibe. Instead she makes it hot and oh-so-necessary.
"You're a possessive man, Maclain Gentry."
"You have no idea, Glenn Holloway," he said, snorting out a laugh as he nuzzled the hollow of my throat. "Man, I knew you were gonna smell good."
"You thought a lot about me."
"Night and day."
Sure, the relationship is fast, with the two coming together and making promises quickly, but it works. It just all works for me.
It was scary how ready we both were to belong to another person, to start a relationship. It was like we'd both been waiting for the other to notice that forward, together, was the place we both wanted to go.
My only complaint is I wish it were longer.

Microsoft Investigating New IE Hole
the hole, if left unpatched, could allow remote attackers to take control of windows xp machines running service pack 2 and internet explorer 6 using silent attacks that are launched from malicious web pages.
the remotely exploitable hole can be used to compromise fully patched windows xp sp2 computers and there is no way to block attacks, according to tom ferris, the independent researcher who found the vulnerability.
news of the critical, unpatched hole comes just weeks after a report on another critical windows hole from ferris, who uses the online name "badpack3t."
"it's a pretty nasty flaw," ferris said on tuesday.
"if a user visits a malicious web site, the (attack) code can be executed without them even knowing about itthere's no pop-up or crash screen," he said.
microsoft corp. acknowledged in an e-mail that it received ferris's report and is "aggressively investigating" the flaw.
the redmond, wash., company is not aware of attacks that try to use the reported vulnerabilities or of any customer impact, according to a company spokeswoman.

ferris declined to give details about where in ie he found the hole, but said it is not a variant of other known flaws in the widely used web browser.
"it's not like any other flaw in ieit's definitely different," ferris said.
ferris, an independent security researcher who lives in mission viejo, calif., and operates the securityprotocols.com web site, said he told microsoft about it on august 14 using the [email protected] e-mail address and has exchanged e-mail with a company researcher since then, but hasn't heard anything from the company in a week.
he said staff at microsoft appeared to be struggling to understand the flaw.

"i've given them more than enough information to understand it ... but they keep asking for more details," he said.
ferris did not provide proof of concept code that shows how the hole can be used to gain remote access to affected machines, but did provide proof of concept code that crashes ie.
"it's a blatant access violation crash," he said.

The Conversation Marketing Pyramid Model
How does the continuous use of social media for engaging and building loyal customers fit together with campaigned-based marketing? And how does a social media agency like Zipipop see its business place in the marketing world. The process of trying to sketch an answer to these questions inspired the creation of "The Conversation Marketing Pyramid" model. Like all models it is not perfect, since it inevitably fails to capture the complexity and crossover activities that take place in reality, but it hopefully helps give a snap shot of the new marketing relationships – particularly to those outside of the industry.
The aim is to have loyal customers discussing inside social media and generating viral word-of-mouth marketing for your brand/prodcut. The ultimate example of this is summed up in the joke: "How do you know someone has an iPhone? – They tell you!"
If you create a superb product this nirvana could potentially happen by itself, however, it is much more likely to be reached if the various marketing strategies have been successfully implemented in a convergent way.
A convergent approach to reaching marketing heaven
Layer 1
Underlying everything is a great product or service (since in the open world of social media you can't fool people for long).
Layer 2
Continuous customer engagement and support using the established social media channels (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. – wherever your target audience hangs out) and community platforms for collaborating and rewarding the most loyal customers. This is a core part of Zipipop's strategic consulting and training related to setting up Community Managers and Social Media Teams to empower employees across organizations to participate effectively in social media.
Layer 3
Marketing campaigns designed to raise awareness together with extended social media afterlife strategies. Zipipop can help marketing agencies in concepting the core social media elements of a campaign so that it connects with the existing communities and lives on inside social media discussions.
Layer 4
Specialist digital mobile and social media apps that can authentically be connected with existing communities and potentially kickstarted with the support of loyal customers being supported in Layer 2. These apps need to be relevant, useful or entertaining.
Layer 5
If everything else has been done well at this point the customers will have become the best evangelists. However, it is still important to use social media monitoring tools to listen closely and react quickly to ameliorate any negative comment while accentuating and sustaining positive conversations.
Previously at the beginning of the blog entry:
Previously at the beginning of the blog entry:
Last month I was a speaker at SIME Helsinki where there was a good deal of discussion about how social media and apps should be integrated with the more established marketing channels; for example: Is the "big creative idea" still important? Is mass communication coming to an end? How to create convergence across the media landscape? etc.
The general consensus was that there is a greater need than ever for highly creative marketing ideas; however, they need to be designed to generate an afterlife in social media, i.e. the campaign is the kickstarter for a prolonged social media conversation. Some great examples of this are: the Old Spice "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like" campaign with over 180 spinoff adverts and tens of millions of views; and The Heineken Italy Activation Milan AC Real Madrid marketing stunt that generated masses of earned media.
Entertaining, useful or relevant
Will Sansom from Contagious Communications used the metaphor of a one-night-stand turning into a long-term relationship. Sansom also reinforced the idea that social media and mobile apps-based advertising needs to be ever more entertaining, useful or relevant (preferably all three). He gave the Carlsberg Where's the Party? mobile app as a good example of this: the mobile web service uses geo-tagging to help people find out where friends are hanging out in the evenings (reminds me of our old Going For One/Zipiko apps). However, I would also suggest that this is a great example of a brand rightfully claiming a space that is appropriate and relevant. In a simple clever way we can also see something similar in the way Valio (the biggest Finnish dairy organization) was quick to claim the space for milk after it was vote the national drink.

Authored by Paul Dijks via VoiceofEurope.com,
A migrant, claiming to be a 15-year-old pupil at Stoke High School in Ipswich, admits to another student he is 25-years-old, married with children.
When the 'boy' was introduced to the school, he was presented as a teenager, born in Iran, with an amazing life story.
Forced to flee the Middle Eastern theocracy, he and his younger brother arrived in the UK, claiming asylum as 15 and 12-years-old boys.
The men were informed that as "child refugees" they should remain in full-time education and that the local authority would look after them until they are 25-years-old.
This didn't sit well with parents and other pupils after pictures of the Middle Eastern migrant was shared on social media with the caption:
"How's there a 30-year-old man in our maths class?"
The school accused the parents of being racist for their complaints of the 6ft 1ins Iranian whom they'd found pictured on his Facebook with a moustache drinking beer.
One parent who kept his young daughters out of the school until the man's removal said:
"I'm ashamed both for the school and the Government for allowing this to happen.
"They have both failed to protect our children. The teachers should be sacked."
The British public have been told that the migrants taken in under the 'child refugee scheme' would be toddlers and pre-teens, similarly to the Jewish children brought to Britain before the Second World War.
However, they have turned out to be males over 17-years-old, the limit considered to qualify for the 'child' scheme, with many having wrinkles and receding hairlines.
In one year, two-thirds of the 'child' migrants were medically tested and confirmed to be adults.
Crucially, when officials are unsure, the principle of 'the benefit of the doubt' is applied to the asylum seeker.
And earlier this year, a watchdog report revealed some local authorities had raised concerns that the 'benefit of the doubt' policy was being applied 'too readily'.

Two monks were on a pilgrimage and during the course of their journey, they came to a river where they met a beautiful young woman. She was afraid of the current and afraid of ruining her lovely clothing, so asked the Monks if they might carry her across the river.
The younger Monk was offended at the very idea and turned away with an attitude of disgust. The older brother didn't hesitate, and quickly picked the woman up on his shoulders, carried her across the river, and set her down on the other side. She thanked him and went on her way, and the brother waded back through the waters.
The monks resumed their walk, the older one in perfect equanimity and enjoying the beautiful countryside, while the younger one grew more and more brooding and distracted, so much so that he could keep his silence no more and suddenly burst out, "Brother, we are taught to avoid contact with women, and there you were, not just touching a woman, but carrying her on your shoulders!"
The older monk looked at the younger with a loving, pitiful smile and said, "Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river; you are still carrying her."

On May 6, 2016 at 6pm at the ALIF riad, I'm proud to announce that my first solo photography exhibition will be held in Fes, Morocco. Such a big thanks is due to the American Language Center in Fes, Omar Chennafi, all the strong girls who ride, and Fulbright for making this happen. The exhibit will run for two weeks at the ALIF riad from 4-6pm during the weekdays to coincide with the World Sacred Music Festival in Fes. More information about the exhibit to come soon!
One thought on "Announcing: "Gunpowder Girls" exhibit in Fes!"
The ALIF Riad is a beautiful facility and a great location for this exhibit. Should be fabulous!

Here is the tool for getting the meat out of our lobster. I thought it was awesomely themed.
There was a tank full of lobsters in the entrance to the restaurant. They were huge!
Here I am playing with the lobster shell squisher. That's Nadia. We'll be seeing much more of her on the blog in the next couple of years.
This is our one burger, divided thoughtfully into 4 by our waitress.
This is one of the 3 lobsters we ordered - so delicious.
This meal was amazing. The lobster was juicy and meaty, and cooked perfectly. The fries were really yummy and the salad was dressed really well. There was just enough food there to be wonderfully full, except I was given extra lobster by Angel and Fiona so I was waaay too full in the end. But it was totally worth it. It was delicious. I will totally go again.
We had a lovely evening of conversations and laughter, and stayed actually really late. It was really fun and eventhough my belly is still super full of deliciousness, I'm ready to go again. Who wants to come with? :D

"The Structural Biology Shared Resource offers a comprehensive set of state-of-the art x-ray crystallography equipment and a breadth of expertise to help solve and understand the structure of molecules.
Another benefit is they can help researchers with no structural biology experience develop experiments to use these powerful methods."
The Structural Biology Shared Resource (SBSR) provides University of Colorado Cancer Center members access to instrumentation and expertise in the use of X-ray Crystallography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR). It is one of only two NCI-designated cancer centers with X-ray Crystallography, NMR, high field NMR and synchrotron.
The SBSR promotes the application of structural studies to the molecular basis of cellular processes that regulate the development and progression of cancer and application of that information to aid in drug design, complementing the strengths of the existing research programs in cell signaling, pharmacology, and cancer.
Structure determination of macromolecules is performed in collaboration with Shared Resource faculty. Faculty and staff consult with investigators in the project design, protein or nucleic acid expression, purification and sample preparation. The core staff performs data collection and data processing and work with investigators to solve and refine structures.
The Structural Biology Shared Resource enables users to set up initial screens of crystallization conditions using commercially available and custom designed sparse matrix screens manually and with the crystallization robotics systems. Shared Resource faculty members analyze the results of these initial screens to provide guidance in designing or extending the screens to produce crystals for X-ray diffraction studies.
SBSR faculty provide initial data collection on crystals to evaluate project viability. These services provide investigators further directions to improve crystal quality with the goal of a complete structure determination. If high quality crystals are obtained by Shared Resource staff, they collect complete data sets that may be used for structure determination.
The NMR Service collects data and provides interpretation of that data to users studying small molecules such as potential drugs and other therapeutic agents. Data collected includes simple one-dimensional (1D) 1H, 13C and 31P spectra and two-dimensional (2D) COSY, NOESY, ROESY, TOCSY and HSQC correlation spectra.
SBSR staff provide training and consultation in the use of molecular graphics programs to display and analyze molecular structures.
Faculty provide consultation to CU Cancer Center members and other investigators on the appropriate design of experimental conditions for structural analysis. For example this includes design of protein constructs, choice of buffer systems, appropriate methods for data collection. Faculty provide training to PIs, post-doctoral and student researchers in the techniques of sample preparation, data collection, data processing and data interpretation.
NMR spectroscopy is highly suited for screening of intermolecular interactions at atomic resolution. The NMR service of the SBSR collects solution data and provides interpretation of the data to examine interactions between biological macromolecules and other macromolecules or other molecules, including potential drug targets.

At this precise moment in time, I've 10 blogs. Why, why do I have 10 blogs, is it really necessary?
No, it is not. For the past month I've been working to consolodate the many blogs I have down to one source. The quest for the right place, or tool is a long and twisty road though.
The break down
Tumblr: Great for mobile posting and hosting videos, audio, images, text, etc. The app for the iPhone is great and simple to use as is the web interface. For my line of work I am always on the move and so using Tumblr has been great for me to be able to post on the go
Posterous: Another simple and easy to use blogging tool. It's number one reason for popularity: Email your post and it is automatically setup as a post. After setting up an account you are given an email address to send anything you want to post. You can use this to post video, audio, text, etc all by attaching it to an email. I've been using this as the primary method of sharing tech news specific to my building/district with the staff. I simply send the email to staff and cc my posterous and instantly create an archived post and share the information directly to the staff.
Wordpress: A powerful blogging tool that can take a bit of "getting used to" but once you've mastered it you have a very powerful tool in your hands. I rarely recommend this as a beginner tool but only because the first two I've listed are the easiest tools I've found. Wordpress offers many very creative looking themes and functions. The primary "great tool" I think is the Site Stats. You can get instant information on how many people are viewing your blog what they've clicked on your blog, how they came across your blog, and all in real time. A few of the dislikes: You can not host/post video on Wordpress without an upgraded (pay) account. Also you can not do to much to the theme without upgrading your account to a paid version.
Blogger: Google owned and one of the most commonly used "starter" blog tools, blogger offers easy setup, several basic themes (that with some knowledge you can customize) and site stats on your blog views. Though it has been some time since I've used blogger (first blog I ever made was with blogger) I am re-looking into it for the simple fact that I want a free tool for blogging that I can customize and alter the html of. Blogger also offers a local hosting of videos to your blog for free which is also a bonus.
Weebly: is more of a tool that allows you to create a whole entire site, but within the site you create you can "add a blog". I've not much experience with weebly, but I have created one and have been using it for about a month now. I have found it to be very simple to setup and at the same time allows you to bring in many different and more advanced features using html and feeds from other sources. Once you've created you weebly, you can easily access "stats" on the site to let you know how many visitors you've had and what they've been looking at on your site.
I hope that this post helps those of you looking to get started with blogging a look at the a few of the various tools that are out there as well as helps you figure out which tool may be best for you.

If they are to firmly establish themselves, smart grid and the broader category of green technology will have to reach down and reuse many legacy technologies that are deeply engrained in telecom networks and IT systems.
The smart grid concept, for example, potentially covers the vast distribution infrastructure from the utility to the thermostats and appliances in homes and businesses. Of course, utilities and telecommunications companies have had their eyes on remote management and similar cost-saving and efficiency-driving applications for decades. What's happened over the past year or so is that images of glaciers melting like Italian ices left in a backseat of a hot car has led this sporadic and tactical interest to coalesce into a cohesive and potentially huge mainstream business category.
The focus on green energy usage -- which includes data center efficiency, more efficient mobile workforces, smart grid and many other elements -- is something to behold. It all seems new and shiny, but the reality is that digging down so deeply into the nooks and crannies of the way IT and telecom works requires the use of a lot of technology that already is there, though it may be tweaked to do things slightly differently.
Smart grid, for instance, is giving a second chance to broadband over powerline (BPL), a technology that was, as the kids say, an epic fail on its go-round. Automatic meter reading (AMR) technology gets to morph into a proactive management suite that is new and exciting. And, as this earth2tech story suggests, smart grid also will reinvigorate digital subscriber line (DSL) technology. DSL still is mainstream, of course. But the ascent of fiber and higher bandwidth wireless technologies suggests that it is well on its way to niche status. Another example of how green can push mundane-if not fading -- technology is in the data center, where Google is realizing record breaking efficiencies on the backs of boring commodity servers.
Of course, there will be a lot of cutting edge technology in the move to green technology. It's a bit ironic, however, that green technology is a great deal for older technologies as well. In April, I wrote a feature about the ramifications of smart grids on the telecommunications network. One of the interesting comments was that the amount of data that must be trafficked in order to smarten up the grid isn't great: Turing up the AC a couple of degrees isn't as demanding as downloading The Matrix in HD. Indeed, legacy 2G and 2.5G networks can do the job fine.

The Uncaring Government and Fatal Foetal Abnormality
From my understanding of Enda Kenny's discussion about the views of the Attorney General yesterday I have come to deduce that the Attorney General, according to Enda Kenny, is infallible. Mr President, politicians, Council of State, Justices of the Supreme Court etc., you may all go home. Advice of other legal experts and even the previous AG be damned. According to the Taoiseach the Attorney General is the sole arbiter of what is constitutional or unconstitutional. Enda Kenny is a bit of Joseph Smith character. I wouldn't be surprised were I to learn that Kenny is in fact looking at the Attorney General's advice through a peep stone in a hat. Such is his secrecy surrounding what the AG has actually said.
The Attorney General is just one person, just one mind and people can get things wrong. Why does the views of the current Attorney General differ from the views of the previous AG. People can get things wrong and refusing to allow a Bill to go through to committee stage on the advice of just one person does not seem a sensible move to me.
Fine Gael, as the major party in government, are indeed allowed to pull the strings. Usually though there is some give and take amongst government parties. However the life time of the current government shows Labour are quite happy to let their opinions be mowed over time and time again. Labour argue that as junior party in the coalition there is nothing they can do. Clare Daly's Bill may or may not have been constitutional but that's what the Houses of the Oireachtas are for. They are there to debate and discuss and amend and change and send to the next stage for it all to happen all over again until it is constitutional or until the government gain the courage to call for a referendum to Repeal the Eight Amendment. When polled 85% of the population are in favour of termination in the case of Fatal Foetal Abnormalities, yesterday 88% of our elected representatives voted against. We have to ask ourselves the question: who are they really representing?
This issue is too serious to kicked up to the next government. Somewhere in Ireland, sometime soon yet another couple is going to be given that horrendous diagnosis. Another couple will be told that their much loved and much wanted baby is "incompatible with life". That couple are going to be devastated. They will seek a second opinion, and a third, and a fourth and maybe even a fifth and sixth. They will keep going under all the stress and grief and pressure until they finally know. At that point the couple has a choice, to continue on with the pregnancy if they so choose, or if not they will have no other option but to travel. Either choice will bring more stress and grief and pressure. There is no easy option here, there is only the best choice that couple can make for themselves and their family. Such couples formed the support group Termination for Medical Reasons (@TFMRIRE). They spoke to the government and to the UN. The government came, they listened and they did nothing. Every mealy mouthed politician says they understand and have compassion with their plight. They don't, because if they did they wouldn't see yet more families be put in the same situation. A tragic situation that most of us wouldn't wish on our own enemies, not even those politicians who vote against the chance that cases of abortion in Fatal Foetal Abnormality be legislated for.
To all those brave people in TFMR Ireland, I salute you and cannot thank you enough for the work you've been doing. To all those couples who will receive this diagnosis in future, I'm sorry and I am so ashamed of my government.

Common Name: Ponytail Palm, Elephant's Foot
Growth Habit: Upright shrub with one to several trunks
Cultural Requirements: These plants are very easy to grow in well-drained soils as they are very drought tolerant. They prefer full sun, but tolerate shade. In fact, they are so shade tolerant that small specimens are good houseplants and require less water than most other common house plants.
The plants can be damaged at temperatures in the mid twenties so outside they are probably best in coastal areas or other mostly frost-free sites.
Features/Uses:The most remarkable feature of these plants are their thick swelling trunks, which resemble elephant's feet. Another attraction is the graceful weeping, evergreen foliage, which hangs down in a ponytail fashion. If planted in full sun upright clusters of small white-cream colored flowers often bloom in late summer or fall. The bronze seed clusters are attractive later.
These dramatic plants, which are native to eastern Mexico, are best used as specimen plants in the landscape either singly or in small groups. They can also be used in containers or as houseplants.
Bloom Time: late summer and fall
Where in the Garden: Undersea Garden, Hamilton Children's Garden –

ArtPrize Holds Volunteer Party, Still Needs More Help
ArtPrize held their Volunteer Kick-Off Rally last night at 55 Campau in downtown Grand Rapids.
The rally was meant as a thank you to current volunteers and also as an opportunity to draw further attention to the need for more volunteers.
About 1,000 total volunteers are needed for ArtPrize. ArtPrize remains a few hundred short of that goal.
ArtPrize also used the volunteer party to unveil their "Vote Art 2012" campaign. The campaign is playfully meant to give ArtPrize fans another choice this fall. Mlive.com reports:
"We want to offer you an alternative," declared Todd Herring, ArtPrize marketing director. "We want all of you to vote art in 2012."
The tongue-in-cheek nod to the upcoming 2012 elections taps into the politicking mood of the country heading to the voting booth in November, and ArtPrize played up the political rally theme on Wednesday evening at its volunteer kickoff party in Riverfront Plaza, 55 Campau Ave. NW downtown.
"It's playful, and I hope you get a kick out of it," said Amelea Pegman, ArtPrize community/volunteer director, to an audience of a couple hundred who gathered for the event in the industrial setting on the building's fifth floor.
Please consider volunteering for ArtPrize 2012. The deadline to sign up is September 12.

TK Undersuit- A Perfect fit.
Fits like a glove. No! Better! Whilst it may initially feel and look too small when first putting it on, it comfortably gives enough that it fits my build perfectly. Not too tight. Not loose at all. Wearing it reasonably warm weather, I felt a little cooler although I got the impression it could be quite insulative in Winter. I have yet to try it on with my TK armor, however, as the kit is yet to be delivered. I believe this undersuit will serve the Empire very well in our local warmer climate. (South Australia)
Nice bodysuit
Comfortable suit that is easy to put on. Nice fabric with a soft touch. If you are unsure of your size, take the next one higher, it fits.
The suit is perfect
The suit is perfect, very comfortable to wear, I measure one meter eighty-two and my weight is 82K, I chose the size L and is great, thank you very much, I'll finally be comfortable with my Stormtrooper costume, this costume is favorite imperial troops :) Best Regards Jorge from Switzerland
Tagless Body Suit
Best thermal suit i have ever seen. Good for cold weathers if you are suited up as a TK. Is there a summer version of this?
Great body suit for trooping
Just purchased Stormtrooper one piece body suit. Love it. Material much thicker than regular spandex. Perfect for trooping.

"'Moodna, Once With Grace' is a journey of lost romance," says New York-based musician Gus Dapperton. "Particularly, it involves someone falling out of what they portray as love. The song is built like a platform to allow for listeners to paste in their own experience."
Dapperton's video for the track presents a melancholic falling out of love between himself and the fictitious Eliza, of which he drew on personal experience to create the narrative. "Moodna, Once With Grace" is somewhat of a moving calendar, exposing the different linear aspects of young adult life that inevitably derails relationships. Dates, rent, sex and partying are just a few of the variables.
"The '80s were also a big influence on the film," says Dapperton, referencing to the square format and color palette. "Moodna, Once With Grace" was directed by Matthew Dillon Cohen and produced by It's Bongo Boy.

You know, people keep telling us about this Brian Urlacher custody trial business in Chicago, and it just makes us uncomfortable. Like many football fans, we like to think of Urlacher as an old-school, square-jawed bruiser cut from the Butkus mold. So when we start reading stuff like this —
That was just one sign that the custody trial scheduled for October could get nasty. [A lawyer] testified that Urlacher had missed 22 scheduled visitations with his son since March, sometimes with only an hour's notice. Urlacher's lawyer, Donald Schiller, threw a few barbs of his own, saying he wants more financial information on Robertson's "mysterious'' life. And he said records on numerous lawsuits filed against Robertson through the years would show she has an "uncontrollable temper.'' The two sides also squabbled about who would drive to pick up or drop off the boy on visitation days. Robertson balked at having to drive to Urlacher's home.
— it's bothersome, you know? Brian Urlacher trading accusations with a former one-night stand through his lawyer? That's not supposed to happen, is it? Particularly one who once slept with the Lord of the Dance? Though we supposed when we look back through Urlacher's dating history, he's got some awfully nasty skeletons in his closet as well.

Belgian Dark Strong Ale
BJCP 26d
Authentic Trappist versions tend to be drier (Belgians would say more digestible) than Abbey versions, which can be rather sweet and full-bodied. Traditionally bottle-conditioned (or refermented in the bottle). Sometimes known as a Trappist Quadruple, most are simply known by their strength or color designation.

In general on this tour the "eastern" countries have been really great. Way better than at least I expected. Facilities backstage were always top notch, showers had always hot water and the catering was perfect. Not like how it used to be years back. Number one price for loud and wild audience was grabbed by Ljubljana, Slovenia. Even though the other countries came really close.

Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection
- Music
You've heard the original 2010 album — a girlie-pop juggernaut that's as sweet and silly as the whipped cream shooting out of Perry's bra. Six of its singles were smashes, and this expanded reissue ensures that middle-school girls won't be stopping their minivan sing-alongs anytime soon. Still, much of the "bonus material" on Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection is already available, and the previously unreleased weepies "Wide Awake" and "Part of Me" are kind of a bummer. Only the new electro-kink romp "Dressin' Up" feels fun, with Perry inviting some "dirty doggie" to "pet my kitty." Uh-oh, Russell Brand. Sit! Stay. B-

Make and Save Playlists at MixTape.me
There's no shortage of services that allow you to mix and match streaming music from around the Web into your own playlists and virtual mix tapes. But few of them give you the feeling that you're using a real Web app designed for music, and even fewer provide you a gateway to learn more about the artist or the music that you're listening to. MixTape.me allows you to make and save your own virtual mix tapes, share them with the community, browse lyrics, watch videos, and more.
One of the best things about MixTape.me is that it looks and feels like a desktop music player. The Web app was developed by Adam Pash, Lifehacker editor, and he claims the goal from the outset was to create a service that brought the features and functionality of a desktop player into your Web browser, along with a large catalog of music, videos, and other related information.
The beauty of MixTape.me is that you can browse for songs and listen to the mix tapes that other users have created without signing up for an account. So if you're looking only for a streaming music service you're set; but if you want a more robust experience and like to be engaged with your music, the service has you covered there too.
After you've signed up for a free account at MixTape.me, you can immediately begin building your playlists and mix tapes. You can search by album name, artist name, or song title using the keyword search in the upper right corner, and as results appear in the center column, you can drag and drop them into the quick playlist box in the bottom left to add them to your playlist. You can also be a bit more methodical about the process and create playlists to fill later if you prefer. All of your playlists appear in the list to the left, along with a "library" that contains all the songs in your playlists.
One feature that makes MixTape.me really special is its focus on getting you involved and interested in your music. If you hover over any song in any playlist, you can see basic information such as the song name, artist, and album. And on the right side, you'll see two icons: one lets you buy the song from AmazonMP3, and one has more information.
The info icon expands the song window so you can see photos of the artist and a short bio, lyrics to the song, and even music videos, if they're available. You can also click to see related songs, so if you like the one you're listening to, there may be others to check out as well. MixTape.me pulls artist information from Last.fm, videos from YouTube, and lyrics from LyricWiki.
One the right side of the window, you'll see the playlist or song's "liner notes," where you can read more of the same information and grab the embed code for the song or the playlist so you can share it on your personal blog. Additionally, you can see or leave comments on the song or playlist and interact there with other MixTape.me users.
MixTape.me reminds me of services like GrooveShark. Where GrooveShark's focus is on music discovery and playlist creation (and slightly less on sharing), MixTape.me is all about building your playlists, posting them for the world to see, and getting really involved with your music.
Since you don't have to leave the page to access any of the site's features, you won't find yourself clicking around panes or the back and forward buttons much--the interface looks and feels like a simple-to-use desktop player, and you'll be surprised how quickly you'll find yourself building playlists or sniping songs from others.

Review: "Night Watch," by Terry Pratchett
When Vimes pursues a criminal named Carcer, accused of killing two coppers, they find themselves locked in a fight atop Unseen University, the school for wizards. As a storm rages around the two combatants, a freak accident sends Vimes through the roof of the school and into darkness.
When he wakes, things are a little strange. He soon finds that he's been transported back in time to his very first days as a copper. He takes on the identity of John Keel, a watchman who took Vimes under his wing in those days. And indeed, Vimes meets the younger version of himself in Lance Constable Samuel Vimes.
The times are turbulent ones for the city of Ankh-Morpork. The current patrician is completely insane, and the man plotting a revolution to take his place isn't much better. The streets are about to erupt in violence, and the results are one of the last things Vimes wants to relive. Unfortunately, it appears he's going to have to, despite his best efforts to change history.
What's worse is that Vimes discovers Carcer has come through with him, and he has a plan to change history himself - by killing one of Vimes' selves.
If my count is correct, "Night Watch" is Pratchett's 28th novel set on his whimsical Discworld, and in all those books, neither the place nor the characters have lost their charm.
The story itself is perhaps not as funny as some of the previous tales of the City Watch, but there are still plenty of laugh-out-loud funny moments.
The real fun of this installment is getting a chance to see how things were before Vetinari took over as patrician and before Vimes overhauled the City Watch. Readers caught glimpses of it in Pratchett's first novels about Vimes, but never knew the whole story.
In "Night Watch," readers get to see younger versions of watchmen Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs, a Vimes who isn't nearly as savvy and cunning as the current version, watchman Reginald Shoe - before the unfortunate accident that made him a zombie - and a young, but skilled assassin named Havelock Vetinari. Oh, and there's also the birth of a legend, Ankh-Morpork's greatest salesman, "Cut Me Own Throat" Dibbler, who we find out actually got his catch line from Vimes - at least in this timeline.
Time travel stories can be tricky when writers let themselves get bogged down in the "rules." Fortunately, Pratchett throws all that nonsense out the window and just has fun with it. Of course, that's been Pratchett's trademark all along. He approaches everything about the Discworld with an anything goes attitude, and perhaps that's why the series has lasted so long without becoming stale.

DayBreaks for 9/01/16 – Martha and I – the Practical Twins
John 11:38-40 (ESV) – Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days." Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?"
I really like Martha!
Martha was very much like me, or rather, I am very much like Martha. She was a woman of practicalities. When Jesus comes to dinner, it is Martha who is busy with the cooking and preparations while her sister sits at Jesus' feet and listens to the teaching of the Master.
Here, in this passage, Martha is worried about something else. She is worried about the stench emanating from her dead brother's corpse. Quite frankly, I would be worried about it, too, if I had been Martha or if I were in a parallel situation with Jesus. I have not smelled a decomposing human after four days, but I am told it is an unforgettable, sickening odor. Jesus, of course, knew about the stench. For some inexplicable reason, I'd always assumed that when the stone was rolled back and Lazarus came forth, it was as if Jesus had sprayed some heavenly Lysol in the air and there was no stench. But the Scripture doesn't say that when the stone was moved away that there wasn't a stench that was released from the enclosed space where Lazarus had been decomposing.
Martha, I'm sure, thought Jesus just wanted to cast one more glance on the face of her dead brother and was trying to let him know that not only wouldn't it be a pretty sight, it wouldn't be a pretty smell, either. She was a practical woman – she wasn't expecting an entirely impractical resurrection. It just isn't practical to let oneself hope for a resurrection. Such things don't happen, so don't even start to get your hopes up.
God, however, isn't concerned with such trivialities as what is practical and what isn't. For him, there is no impractical or impossible thing. Everything serves his purpose. Jesus is the God of the practical and impractical. Perhaps it is only my lack of faith that prevents me from seeing more impractical things become reality in my own life.
I am grateful that Jesus loves even practical people like Martha – and me!
PRAYER: Lord, I believe you can do anything you choose to do. Yet I know my practicality often leads me to not even expect things from you, rather than to expect amazing things when you are "on the scene". Keep me from being so impractical that I don't believe you can do far more than we can ask or even imagine! In Jesus' name, Amen.

I am traveling to Norway in June to fish and bringing a bunch of flies tied with Jungle Cock. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with bringing flies through US or any customs?

If they check you, everything with JC will get confiscated, unless you have a certificate for each fly. If they check you.

Bone Grafting Surgery for Lehigh Valley
Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies, or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone left that is suitable for the placement of dental implants. In these situations, most patients are not candidates for dental implant procedures.
Today, we have the ability to grow bone where needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, but it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and a natural aesthetic appearance.
Bone grafting can repair dental implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease or injuries. The bone is either obtained from a tissue bank or your own bone is taken from the jaw, hip or tibia (below the knee). Sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw. In addition, special membranes may be utilized that dissolve under the gum and protect the bone graft and encourage bone regeneration. This is called guided bone regeneration or guided tissue regeneration.
Major bone grafts are typically performed to repair defects of the jaws. These defects may arise as a result of traumatic injuries, tumor surgery, or congenital defects. Large defects are repaired using the patient's own bone. This bone is harvested from a number of different sites depending on the size of the defect. The skull (cranium), hip (iliac crest), and lateral knee (tibia), are common donor sites. These procedures are routinely performed in an operating room and require a hospital stay.
If enough bone between the upper jaw ridge and the bottom of the sinus is available to stabilize the implant well, sinus augmentations and implant placement can sometimes be performed as a single procedure. If not enough bone is available, the sinus augmentation will have to be performed first, then the graft will have to mature for several months, depending upon the type of graft material used. Once the graft has matured, the implants can be placed.
In severe cases, the ridge has been reabsorbed and a bone graft is placed to increase ridge height and/or width. This is a technique used to restore the lost bone dimension when the jaw ridge gets too thin to place conventional implants. In this procedure, the bony ridge of the jaw is literally expanded by mechanical means. Bone graft material can be placed and matured for a few months before placing the implant.
One or more of the following procedures might need to be performed in order to prepare your mouth for a denture:
- Bone smoothing and reshaping
- Removal of excess bone
- Bone ridge reduction
- Removal of excess gum tissue
- Exposure of impacted teeth

Had two wisdom teeth taken out. Was told horror stories at work. Dr. Gholston extracted without any problems. Have very little pain. He gave me the right meds, to keep it under control. Great bedside manner. Was my third time there for extractions. Thanks Dr. Gholston.
I had an appointment here yesterday (5/31/16) at the Allentown office to get a tooth extracted. I've never been more pleased with a dentist. Appointment was at 11 am and I was in my car at 11:26! Awesome professionalism from all as well! No pain during the extraction either! Highly recommend!

When we think of Walmart, we tend to think of big box stores with an elderly greeter at the door, but Walmart is also a huge player in the e-commerce world. The company forecasted over $11 billion in online sales in 2017.
With those sales comes a team based in Silicon Valley, including a compliance team. Lance Lanciault, Senior Vice President, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer for US eCommerce for Walmart, was good enough to talk with us about how their compliance program is structured, and some of the challenges he and the company faces.
Listen in for a far-reaching discussion covering:
- Creating common values across multiple cultures
- Managing expectations for the compliance program during and after an acquisition
- The importance of recognizing the distinction between cultures and values, and the importance of finding common values
