Panthers Laying Eggs, Labor Pains & Rob Zombie
Monday, January 12, 2009
Perhaps the most memorable phone call I have ever made happened in 1987 when I was a 7th Grader attending Hunter Jr. High in West Valley City, Utah (since re-named Tupac Shakur Memorial Jr. High.) The weekend before classes started the school held a "Get to Know You" dance in which the boys styled our mullets and the girls poofed up their hair and we danced awkwardly to Peter Cetera and Mr. Mister. That night I met a lovely young woman named Kelsi Osborn and asked her for her phone number, marking the first time I had ever officially picked up a girl. I called Kelsi later that week and we talked for twenty minutes about how we, as mature Junior High students, were going to begin writing with pens instead of pencils, despite the dangers of not being able to erase our mistakes. It was pretty deep, serious stuff. I think puberty officially started when I hung up the phone, combed my mullet, and contemplated the significance of what had just happened. (Kelsi has since gone on to Shedaisy fame. I still play Madden and write a blog that cannot even attract a sponsor for a measly $30. Talk about a power couple!)
The second monumental phone call took place back when the Normal Mormon Wife and I were dating and it was time for me to ask her father's permission to marry her. While I had met the NMW's mom, sister and grandma, I had never met her father when I called him to pop the question about popping the question. All I knew about my future father-in-law was that he liked to run, hunt and fish. He was as mysterious as Grizzly Adams playing the role of The Banker on Deal or No Deal. Anyway, after an extremely awkward conversation about fishing (I know as much about fishing as Miss South Carolina knows about reforming US education policy) I smoothly transitioned the conversation toward marriage with a subtle, ".....So anyway....." I then asked his permission for a complete stranger who made $7.25/hr as an AV Specialist at BYU to marry his daughter. His response was simply, "Sure." That was it. No grilling. No lie detector test. No death treats. Just, "Sure." He made my life easy then and has done so for the past 11 years. That was a life-changing phone call.
Last Friday I received a phone call that is right up there in terms of life importance as the previous two examples. My friend Michael called and said, "I got a couple of free tickets from work to the Panthers-Cardinals NFL Playoff game tomorrow night. Wanna go?"
And then my head exploded.
We made plans for Michael to pick me up at 5:00 the following day (Saturday) to go watch my beloved Panthers destroy the Cardinals at Bank of America Stadium. And, as usually seems to happen to me, ended up with a night full of odd, random, hilarious happenings that I will never forget.
Michael's wife, Shelley, is nine months pregnant and already having some painful early labor contractions. Michael and I had to promise Shelley that we would keep our cellphones turned on in case she went into labor. During the drive to Charlotte we discussed what to do if Shelley called and the game was headed into overtime. I think Michael was leaning toward possibly returning home to witness the birth of his second child, but I'm not completely sure. I had decided to walk or hitchhike back to Greensboro if he did. We encouraged Shelley to avoid running, jumping, swimming, jogging, eating Taco Bell, moving, standing and breathing for the next eight hours so that our NFL Playoff experience would not be hindered by something as inconsequential as giving birth.
The forecast called for rain that evening so before we left I asked the NMW if we had any ponchos. She returned with an old poncho from our Disney World visit last year. The only problem was that it had a big picture of Minnie Mouse on it. Sweet! Nothing says "manly NFL fan" like a Minnie Mouse poncho. After realizing that we had additional ponchos the NMW returned with something much more appropriate for football. This one had a picture of Mickey. Despite my better judgment, I left for an NFL Playoff game with a used Micky Mouse poncho in hand, just in case.
We arrived at the North Gate of the stadium only to find a mosh pit of about a thousand Panthers fans all trying to get in at the same time. Being sucked into the undulating mass of humanity was probably like going to Lollapalooza, except for the people at the game did not have large nose piercings or smell like Snoop Dogg's upholstery. The guy standing directly in front me tried as hard as he could to get the rest of us to chant, "Let's go Panthers!", but nobody paid any attention to him. After several failed attempts he yelled in frustration, "YOU GUYS SUCK!" Uh, yeah, buddy. You're the sane one. It's the 999 of us who have issues.
Once we finally got into the stadium we had to walk up to the 5th concourse. While I have never actually seen the Rameumptom mentioned in the Book of Mormon, I doubt it was higher than we had to climb. But on the plus side, I could both watch the game and also clearly see the rings of Jupiter with my naked eye from the 500 section. It was a good thing Shelley did not come to the game with Michael because she would have delivered the baby somewhere between the 300 and 400 level.
1st Half
As we continued our pioneer-like trek to our seats, we end up missing the Panther's first possession and are relegated to watching their opening TD on a flat screen hanging on the wall. D'oh!
We take our seats and I have to pinch myself that I am watching my favorite NFL team in a playoff game and all it cost me was $5 for parking and $16 dollars at the Cook Out drive thru.
While there are 74,000 people dressed in Panthers colors, there is one person dressed in head-to-toe hunting camouflage and orange deer hunting accessories. Of course, I end up sitting next to the deer hunter. He has unkempt facial hair and a dark, distant look in his eye. While everybody else cheers when the Panthers do well, he remains seated and shows no emotion. Instead, he mutters profanity at the Panthers under his breath when they mess up and then flips them the bird. I am pretty sure that I see blood on his pants. I am also pretty sure that it is human. And fresh. I am almost certain he will stab me before halftime. Oh well, if I meet my demise tonight at the hands of his 9-inch buck knife, at least I will have died happy.
Oh, no. It just started raining hard enough that everybody is busting out their ponchos. I decide to put on the bright yellow Mickey Mouse poncho, but turn it inside out so nobody can see Mickey. Not only is the poncho now inside out, but it had been torn while we were at Disney World and is utterly impossible to put on. Forget it. I lay it over my lap to keep my jeans dry and feel like a complete tool.
I reach into my coat pockets to retrieve my gloves and end up pulling out a black church sock instead. How in the world did a black church sock end up in my coat pocket? What else is in there? A tie? A copy of Preach My Gospel? Benjamin Button?
As we approach halftime, the Panthers are laying an egg and losing 27-7 in a game in which they were favored to win by 10 points. They look horrible. After missing the opening touchdown drive, Michael and I have watched the following Panthers series: Punt-Fumble-Interception-Punt-Interception-Punt. Come on, Panthers! Somebody paid good money for me to be here tonight!
During halftime the Harding High School marching band is doing their routine and the Panthers' Punter, Jason Baker, takes the field early to practice his kicking. Michael and I decide that Baker was the Panthers' MVP of the first half since nobody on offense or defense decided to play tonight. Baker shanks one of his punts and the ball nails a member of the high school marching band. The Panthers are stinking so badly tonight that their Punter cannot even kick the ball over the heads of a high school marching band. (Either that or he was so upset with the team's play that he decided to take out his frustrations on the only person on the field that a Punter could beat up, if necessary - a 16 year old tuba player.)
2nd Half
There are more Panthers fans texting on their cell phones than actually watching the game right now. Many of them are also consuming a dangerous amount of alcohol while texting. The woman sitting in front of me is simultaneously texting and drinking, which is never a good combination. I look over her shoulder and her text message says, "Stupxd Paltnhers! They stnikl;" Amen, sister. Amen.
On their first two possessions of the second half, the Panthers go Punt, Interception. With the score 30-7 the stadium clears out faster than a Stake Priesthood Meeting that goes 15 minutes long. Michael and I decide to hang in there until the bitter end. Unless Shelley goes into labor. Probably.
There were nearly 74,000 people in attendance tonight. As the fourth quarter kicks off, Michael and I are two of the roughly 2,000 who still remain. Michael brings me back a lemonade and said, "When the Panthers give you lemons, make lemonade." It was a nice gesture on his part. He would have also been justified in bringing back a bag of fertilizer from Lowe's based on what the Panthers gave us.
As the game winds down Michael and I start scavenging the rows around us for souvenirs like game programs or growl towels that were left behind. Or wallets. We end up finding some good stuff to remember the glorious night when Michael risked missing his child's birth in order to watch the Panthers get demolished in the rain. Priceless.
Well, we were apparently not the only scavengers left in the stadium. With about four minutes left in the game a man who appeared to be, um, homeless, started going row by row and picking up everything he could find, Mickey Mouse ponchos included. We watched in disgust as he picked up a half-eaten bag of peanuts, chomped on a few, and then threw the bag back down on the ground. He then finished off every half-empty beer bottle he could find, regardless of how much backwash or germs he may encounter along the way. As he methodically made his way up the stadium, he eventually reached us.
The scavenger walked up to Michael and asked, "Wanna buy a Rob Zombie CD?"
Unfortunately for the scavenger, I had just given Michael a Rob Zombie album for his Christmas present. I think under normal circumstances Michael would have been delighted to buy a Rob Zombie CD from a homeless vendor at an NFL Playoff game, just not tonight. (I am kidding about the Christmas gift. While I have heard of Rob Zombie, I have no idea who, or what, he is.)
We cheer in jest as the Panthers score a meaningless TD with :50 seconds left to make the final a 33-13 loss. We walk back to the car and begin the long drive back to Greensboro. It is now almost midnight and we will not get home until about 2:00 a.m. so we stop at a gas station to get some munchies. It turned out to be one of the most random receipts I have ever seen:
-Chocolate Milk
-Gummy Bears
While the Panthers really, really, really, really stunk on Saturday night, just being there was one of the most enjoyable, unique experiences I have had in a long time. Thanks, Michael, for bring me along. Thanks to Shelley for not delivering a baby that evening. And thanks to the NMW for calling me at 11:30 p.m. to ask me if Jake Delhomme was color blind in an attempt to explain the five interceptions he threw. Overall, it was a great night.
Definitely something to call home about.

Wait a minute, you were making 7.25 an hour at the studio? I think that's where I ENDED there, like 2 years later. Either old JC had a crush on you, or she held a lengthy grudge against me for meeting my future husband while at work.7:24 AM
Okay, I'm not surprised of course but this post was hilarious.
Now, I'm from AZ so of course I route for the Cardinals but of course I didn't expect them to win. So, we we got back from the zoo lights that evening and turned the TV on and it was 27-3 I was in utter disbelief. After it was over I couldn't help but wonder if you would write anything about it. As much as you like the Panthers you have to hand to AZ for winning two playoff games, they haven't done that the whole time they have been in AZ.
Go Cards!
Love your blog. Sorry about the loss, but I'm from AZ, so I don't feel all that sorry. Just kidding.
Love the joke about the Stake Priesthood meeting.....
My cheeks and abs hurt from smiling and laughing so hard during this one. Great post, babe. Glad Shelley held out, but I was ready to deliver the baby if necessary.
Since you got to go to an NFL game in 2009, am I off the hook for getting you tickets for your birthday?
Sounds like a fun experience even though your team lost. Your commentary cracks me up!5:52 AM
you are the only blogger ever to make me laugh out loud. Besides my friend Mindy. she's funnier than you.
Anyway, your blog is GREAT!
Looks like Jake and Max hall have that same color blindness. That is really the only explaination you could come up with when a QB stinks that bad! I was pulling for the panthers in the case of these two QB's.1:38 PM
BWAHAHHAAAHAHHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA....... you are too funny ! I thought I saw you guys sitting up in the nose bleed section counting Jupiter's rings. While I bask in lovely 75 degree weather Sunday I promise I send a prayer up for you as I suddenly get a Migraine a few minute before Elders quorum starts (remarkably right before kick off) I'm glad you got to go. Hey you can watch replay vids at my blog listentoprecious.blogspot.com just in case you missed those interceptions. BTW two questions:
1. Who will you be cheering for Sunday.
2. Boy or girl?
Happy NFL playoffs every one should be a national holiday it's much more exciting that the inauguration.
i made it into NMH fame!!! i do, of course, require all royalties for any reproduction or email of this post. just have your people contact my people.
i laughed so hard as i read this - i told michael he had to invite you, not only because i knew your head would explode when you got the invite, but that you would of course find all the hilarious things going on and that we would forever be immortalized on this awesome blog.
and still no baby. but i had full confidence in andrea's baby-catching skills. i did not, however, have complete confidence you two leaving the game early if it came to that, so thank goodness it didn't!
That is hilarious!! I was telling my hubby about the homeless dude, and he just could't believe that some random guy would just be draining leftover beers, ewwww!12:35 PM

Two people have died and five others have been hospitalized in a mysterious cluster of respiratory illnesses in southeast Alabama, state health officials said.
The victims, all adults, had symptoms including fever, cough and shortness of breath, but the cause of the illnesses is unknown, said Dr. Mary McIntyre, the acting state epidemiologist for the Alabama Department of Public Health. The hospital is using respiratory precautions, which include requiring staff to wear special N95 masks that reduce the chance of infection.
State health officials have collected and analyzed samples of specimens from all patients. So far, one sample has tested positive for H1N1 influenza A, but it's not clear that that is behind the unusual illnesses. There's no evidence of other kinds of flu, including the H7N9 strain that has caused illness and death in China, McIntyre said.
Laboratory samples have been sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but testing results are not yet available, officials said.
There's no evidence that any of the victims had a connection or traveled outside the country, which would have put them at risk for unusual pathogens, including a deadly new coronavirus recently christened MERS or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome.
"At this point it's too early to tell," McIntyre told NBC News. "That's why we called it a respiratory illness of unknown origin."
State and federal health officials will continue to investigate the illnesses.

Over the last three decades, the number of women in prison has risen more than 800 percent. While this statistic is staggering, the numbers alone do not begin to reflect the deep disruption such incarcerations inflict on families, communities, the courts, and the public health system, says Catherine Cerulli, director of the University of Rochester's Susan B. Anthony Center for Women's Leadership.
To explore the broader issue of women and the justice system, legal and medical professionals, women's advocates, and former inmates will meet on Friday, June 21, for the first Justice Involved Women Conference.
"The term 'justice involved' describes women who are involved in our courts and prison system both in a professional capacity as well as defendants and prisoners," said Cerulli, a co-creator of the conference.
Sponsored by the Anthony Center for Women's Leadership and the Women's Initiative Supporting Health (WISH) at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), the conference will serve as a discussion forum for topics like re-entry, funding challenges, and the justice system.
"We want to raise the profile of justice involved women by helping people understand the true scope of the problem," said Diane Morse, co-creator of the conference and an internal medicine physician and assistant professor of psychiatry at University of Rochester. According to Morse, justice involved women's issues often range from violence, mental health, and other medical risks which affect their lives of loved ones beyond the prison system. "It becomes a cycle and there are many ways to address this, which is why we want to open the conversation so people understand this in the context of their own lives."
The day's events begin at 8 a.m. at the Staybridge Suites in Rochester and are open to the public. Registration costs $45. For additional information visit http://www.rochester.edu/SBA/ or call 585.275.8799.

1. Re: Howto activate Intel vPro on Dell E4310slewis01 Dec 14, 2010 10:25 AM (in response to flavigny)
Try F12 after rebooting to bring up the boot options menu. Then select the MEBx option under Other Options.
2. Re: Howto activate Intel vPro on Dell E4310
Thanks, but....
The "OTHER OPTIONS:" lists only:
Bios Setup (I have browsed all items, no AMT entry.)
Best Regards
3. Re: Howto activate Intel vPro on Dell E4310IT Center Dec 14, 2010 11:30 AM (in response to flavigny )
I'm not sure why you are not seeing the option in the boot menu. I noticed on the Dell support site that they have recently posted a new system BIOS (12/2/2010) and AMT HECI driver package 11/19/2010 marked "urgent" (look on the Dell Drivers and Downloads page for the E4310, then choose Chipset, then choose Intel HECI). It's generally a good idea to update to the latest BIOS and drivers. If the drivers package is installed, you should see a status icon in your Windows sytem tray that will give you details about the status the Intel Management Engine and drivers. If updating the BIOS and drivers fail, ask Dell for help with this.
4. Re: Howto activate Intel vPro on Dell E4310slewis01 Dec 14, 2010 11:59 AM (in response to flavigny )
If you configured your Dell E4310 online, did you choose "Intel vPro Technology advanced management features"? It's not included by default on some E4310 SKUs--you need to choose the $20 option to enable it. If you didn't select it, you might need to contact Dell to see if you can add it back in.
5. Re: Howto activate Intel vPro on Dell E4310
No, I don't used online path.
for the three pc (two latitude E4300 and one Optiplex 780) I had a lot of exchanges with our ontact (by mail and phone) who specified to buy with pre-requisite processors (Intel core i5 M520 and E8400) but NEVER talk about an option or something else.
Best regards.
6. Re: Howto activate Intel vPro on Dell E4310
the "technical" part is (wrongly) solved: it is due to the production process
(read http://www.deliran.net/refrence/Latitude_E4200/E4200_eng/dispatching.htm about similar model).
Now, reading back the file, I dig a bit more:
- the online site dell.com for Optiplex 780 lists the option "system managment mode" with 4 choices (No, Standard, vPro on & vPro off)
- but my French one doesn't show this item.
So now It is a human/commercial problem: why our (before sale) contact at Dell-France writes information about the processor but NOTHING about the option?
Thanks for your help to locate the bug.
Best regards.

XFX 9600 GT 512MB Review
The masses of people eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new 9xxx series video cards from Nvidia will wait no more. The first of the 9xxx Nvidia graphics cards has arrived. The x600 designation of the series would lead one to believe that the 9600GT is the successor to the 8600 series. Will its performance be the start of a new round of speculation about its upcoming big brothers? Only time will tell the tale. Features of the XFX 9600GT include 512mb of GDDR3 memory clocked at 900MHz (1.8GHz) and a core clock of 650 MHz on its G94 core. These clock speeds are similar to many an 8800GT on the market. A mid range card with big core clock and memory speeds makes one think. What if?
Closer Look:
The XFX 9600GT comes in a smallish box that does not look large enough to have a graphics card inside. The front side of the package has large 9 over the trademark green X in the XFX logo. The 9 is just a hint at what is inside and denotes that this package carries a 9 series Nvidia card. Highlights on the front include the core speed of the GPU as well as the SLi capability. The rear of the package makes the claim that the 9600 GT is a "New Breed " and shatters all records.
Pulling the outer sleeve off reveals the inner package. This inner package features a window through which you can see the 9600GT with the 9 graphic on the cooling solution. Opening the box shows that the card is indeed a full size card and is encased in a foam block and covered on top with foam as well.
Under the foam block that houses the XFX 9600GT is the documentation, driver disk, quick start guide, a door tag with the Alpha Dog imploring unwanted guest to leave you alone. Below the foam block you will find all of the cables and adapters that might be used with this card.
The cables and connectors that are part of the package include an S-video cable, S-video to component adapter, DVi to d-sub adapter and a dual 4 pin molex to 6 pin PCIe adapter.
Now that we have seen what is included in the package its time to get a little intimate with the XFX 9600GT.

If young and
soft, vulnerable and naive, silly and giggly and overall sweet are what
you're looking for, then I am the girl for you. I'm easily pleased and
even more easily entertained. I find pleasure in the smallest things. I'm
a music freak and spend all of my free time dancing, listening and
performing new & explorative sexual entertainments, to music.
I love outdoor
concerts. I love being free, silly & giddy and enjoying everything that
life throws at me. At this point in my life I am really ready to start a
sexual exploration. I don't have much experience and what little I do have
is all blah and boring. So, as I play with my toys to my favorite tunes,
I'm ready for endorphin rushes that will leave me wanting more and more.
I'm ready to be used and taken by a strong man who will push my limits and
open new doors for me. I admit I am a bit shy, timid, and insecure when
it comes to sex.
That is why I
need a strong man who will not let my shyness stop him. A man who can
replace my toys and take charge of me in his arms passionately! All the
while he is admiring my fine porcelain like skin, my childlike grins &
perky tits, just make all men who cross my path, horny out of their
wits...Just because I might whimper and shake my head, it doesn't mean I
want you to stop. It just means I'm a little scared and need some
reassurance. It means that I'm actually turned on and unsure how to handle
the feeling.
This is where
you come in. I need you to come whisper sweet nothings about your favorite
things. I want to be the one on the other end when the phone rings...hold
me close, hold me tight, I know I got what you need tonight.
So, call me now
& lets find out if you the one that will take me where I want to go
tonight? I promise I will be a good companion while I ride you.

Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies on the relationship of age to the effects of etonogestrel implant have not been performed in the pediatric population. However, pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of this medication in teenagers are not expected. This medicine may be used for birth control in teenage females but should not be used before the start of menstruation.
Appropriate studies on the relationship of age to the effects of etonogestrel implant have not been performed in the geriatric population. This medicine should not be used in elderly women.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are receiving this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following may cause an increased risk of certain side effects but may be unavoidable in some cases. If used together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use this medicine, or give you special instructions about the use of food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
It is very important that you tell your doctor if you think you might be pregnant or if you missed a period before you receive this medicine. Tests will be done to make sure you are not pregnant before this medicine is inserted.
This medicine comes with patient instructions. After reading the instructions, you will be asked to sign a USER CARD and a Patient Consent Form before you receive this medicine. The Consent Form tells you about some possible risks when using this medicine, and when it must be removed. Make sure you understand what is in the patient instructions and the Consent Form before you sign it. Keep the USER CARD in a safe place at home with your health records. If you have any questions, ask your doctor to answer them.
After this medicine is inserted, you should check that it is in place. Gently press your fingertips over the skin in your arm where this medicine was inserted. You should be able to feel the small rod.
You may have to use another form of birth control (e.g., condoms, diaphragms, or spermicides) until the implant has been in place for 7 days. Talk with your doctor about this.
Your doctor must remove this medicine after 3 years. If you would like to stop using this medicine, your doctor can remove it at any time.
If you still want to prevent pregnancy after this medicine is removed, you should start using another form of birth control (e.g., condoms, diaphragms, or spermicides) right away. If you still want to continue using this medicine, your doctor can insert a new implant under your skin after taking the old one out.
If you will be using the etonogestrel implant for a long time, it is very important that your doctor check you at regular visits for any problems or unwanted effects that may be caused by this medicine.
If you become pregnant while using this medicine, you have a slightly higher chance of having an ectopic pregnancy (occurs outside the womb). Ectopic pregnancies can cause serious internal bleeding. Contact your doctor immediately to have the implant removed.
Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed. You may start using this medicine if you had a baby more than 4 weeks ago.
Etonogestrel implant will not protect you against HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases. The use of latex (rubber) condoms or abstinence (not having sex) is recommended for protection from these diseases.
Tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to numbing medicines (anesthetics) or skin cleansers (antiseptics). These medicines will be used when etonogestrel implant is inserted into your arm.
This medicine may cause several problems related to insertion and removal, such as pain, irritation, swelling, bruising, scarring, or other complications. Talk to your doctor about these possible risks.
Using this medicine may increase your risk of blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis), lungs (pulmonary embolism), brain (stroke), heart (heart attack), or eyes (blindness). Make sure your doctor knows at least 4 weeks before if you are going to have a surgery or will need to be on bed rest. Your risk of these serious medical problems is greater during surgery or bed rest, or if you smoke cigarettes.
This medicine may also increase your risk of having irregular monthly periods, ovarian cysts, high blood pressure, gallbladder problems, or liver tumors.
Call your doctor right away if you have pain or tenderness in the upper stomach; pale stools; dark urine; loss of appetite; nausea; unusual tiredness or weakness; or yellow eyes or skin. These could be symptoms of a serious liver problem.
If you wear contact lenses and you have blurred vision, difficulty in reading, or any other change in vision while using this medicine, check with your doctor right away. Your doctor may want you to get your eyes checked by an eye doctor (ophthalmologist).
This medicine may affect blood sugar levels. If you notice a change in the results of your blood or urine sugar tests, or if you have any questions, check with your doctor.
Before you have any medical tests, tell the medical doctor in charge that you are using etonogestrel implant. The results of some tests may be affected by this medicine.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal (St. John's wort) or vitamin supplements.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor or nurse immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects.

Matthew Growney: Connecting the Unconnected
"Connecting the unconnected" by Saelen Ghose
Matthew Growney wants to connect the unconnected. He sees an opportunity for analog things, atoms, to benefit from internet bits, and he's already putting his ideas into practice with his line of picture frames and tablets.
I met Matthew in his West Concord office. The modest exterior of his building belies a tasteful and smart interior, incorporating an open floor plan, where I imagine he meets with his team to discuss his company's creative vision and direction. Matthew's own dressed down exterior seems to be a carbon copy of his building. With a quiet smile, short spiky hair, fleece jacket, and jeans—unassuming as an ensemble—I would never pick him out from the line at the local coffee shop, as the founder of both an investment company and a successful start up. But that's exactly how he likes it. It's all about being real for him.
Real People. Real time. Real simple. Real ideas.
Real People. His mind may be in The Cloud, but he runs his business the old fashioned way: by finding out what people want, and then designing products that deliver.
Growney is the founder and CEO of Isabella Products(www.isabellaproducts.com), and was named one of the "40 under 40" by the Boston business journal for his professional achievements. That's all well and good, but for Growney, running a successful business is less about awards and all about connecting with people.
Before he created Vizit, the picture frame that features real time two-way photo sharing between friends and family, he booked the ballroom at the Ritz Carlton in Boston and wined and dined 120 moms ages 35-65, mined from salons, mommy groups, and fitness clubs. "We wanted to ask women, specifically mothers, since they are the photo keeper, how they use, touch, and share photos," says Growney. "We wanted to know what their biggest complaint about taking photos on their phone was. We asked them what they like, and what don't they like." Right there. Real interactions with people, instead of scouring social networks trying to determine analytics based on mindless drivel limited to 140 characters. And then he moved forward with his plans.
For me personally, the Real time aspect of the Vizit is appealing. I can imagine myself on the sidelines at one of my kids' games snapping pictures on my mobile phone. In an instant I send my pictures up to Growney's mobile network cloud Vizit Me, and then in another instant they magically appear on my mother's Vizit picture frame in California, where she can experience the thrill of the game along with me. If she wants to she can reply to me right from her frame, or forward the pictures on to anyone who is part of the Vizit network. Growney uses 3-G instead of WiFi because it's reliable and he runs a business on real time. Connecting the unconnected.
As Growney begins to tell me about the Mini, the device that magically catapults any existing digital picture frame into a real time sharing tour de force, an actual train rattles by his office. "That's one of the downsides," he says. But I like the contrast. He's running a business that looks for ways to serve consumers, and trains have been doing that for over a century. And what's more predictable than a train? In the little known, but sweet children's book, "Pianna," Anna the main character says, "Six trains a day were as good as a clock back then." And that sentiment persists today right in Growney's office. No need to check his watch, or daily planner, when he's got trains providing predictability, and keeping him on task. I ponder if Growney's considered the irony that the trains are equipped with WiFi instead of 3G, but decide not to bring it up. Otherwise I'll get his wheels spinning, and I still have some questions for him to answer.
Real simple. Matthew's house is being painted today. The funny thing is he didn't know it until this morning. I chuckle about this. How can someone so aware of his surroundings, and so on top of his business, not know his house may be a new color when he arrives home from work that day?
"My wife runs the ship at home," he says. "She's got her crew and I've got mine." Still, when I ask him what color his house will be, he says "I assume white." But I can tell he's a bit flustered not knowing for sure. "I have to check on that," he says. I don't think the ramifications of some radical new color adhering to his clapboards, or even scarier, the brick façade that he and his wife have debated about painting, dawned on him until that very moment.
Before Matthew founded Isabella Products, the consumer technology company that launched the Vizit line, he ran Motorola Ventures for ten years following in his father's footsteps. However, his father's prolonged absences—traveling around the world to explore business opportunities—got Matthew thinking about ways to create a better balance with his own life.
Born from this thinking was Rudyard Partners(www.rudyardpartners.com), the next generation family run investment firm that focuses on early stage consumer technology opportunities in the global marketplace. Matthew's office is a mile from his house, intentionally. He wants to be a strong and consistent presence in his three kids' lives, and being close by affords him the luxury of running a business and still being able to see his family. He is happy about the arrangement, another connection to a simpler time when people worked where they lived, and came home for dinner and bedtime stories. Growney is intent on remaining connected and he seems to be staying the course.
Real Ideas. Matthew's excited about the Fable, a tablet specifically designed for kids, and another attractive piece of his product line. "Imagine a father," he says, "being able to send content about his job to a classroom full of students, all using Fable tablets. All the kids can immediately receive the information and then discuss, and interact with it. Or imagine a child studying a picture from a National Geographic let's say, and this child takes one of the photos from the magazine and draws herself into the picture and sends it off to her mother or father at work. All in real time." And I thought Pong was pretty cool. Clearly I grew up in the wrong century.
Growney talks of connecting other things with the network. Binoculars. Toys. Jewelry. The opportunities are only growing. Binoculars? I say. How? He smiles. "Wouldn't it be neat to be able to post the image of the falcon you're viewing right from your binoculars while you lie in a wet field? You could post the image and notes to your own private site, or a wildlife site, or your own cloud. You wouldn't have to worry about film or downloading this or that. You already have optics, magnification, and resolution."
So what's next I ask him, knowing full well that this isn't the last stop on Growney's entrepreneurial train.
Sure enough he surprises me. He and his wife plan on starting a fashion label in the next few years. He says it will be cutthroat and competitive but they are up for the challenge. I'm sure his kids will also be involved somehow, maybe as design consultants or models. I ask him if he will he be offering a shoe line as well, that somehow connects the unconnected. He smiles and says, "That's a bit too far fetched even for me." I find that hard to believe. Of course I'm still wondering about the color of his house and how it will turn out.

Finicky Guns
I'm in the process of working up a 9mm load. I've been testing them in my Beretta FS92, and with a few hundred rounds through and no issues, things are going well. I'm borrowing a friends XD subcompact, and another friends P226 to see how they run in different guns.
Are there any makes or specific pistols out there that are notoriously picky with the rounds they will feed? I'm fairly new to all of this but I figure the SIg will be the most temperamental given the tight specs and tolerances. I'm not implying that having issues with reloads is a defect, only that the tighter the tolerances, the tighter the tolerances.

Had a full size Kimber that would feed reloads but hated dirty powders.....just about everything except factory loads. Most of us got rid of them for everyday carry because they wouldn't take the dirt and grime. Have to clean it daily to ensure function even if it hadn't been shot didn't cut it....

Not sure if this applies to 9mm but i have a berretta px4 storm and some of my .40s&w reloads dont feed properly...found out that i needed to taper crimp instead of using the roll crimp that was included with the die set from rcbs. Pushing the top of the casing slightly into the jacket makes a huge difference in how the reloads feed.

I've found that if you stay with a jacketed RN bullet../ you'll have very few issues with feeding on any number of guns ( and mostly its the RN not the jacketed that makes a difference..../ so jacketed vs plated is not really a big deal).
In 9mm, I've run many thousands of Montana Gold bullets in 115 gr and 124gr FMJ RN --- thru several of my handguns - with no issues ( Sig 239, Sig 226, 4" 1911's, 5" 1911...)....and my buddy uses the same overall length - same bullet shape in his 9mm's ....Springfield XD's, Sig 226, Glock model 17 ? ...etc....
Guys get in trouble with reloads on hollow points and semi wad cutters...but its because of overall length ...usually anyway.

What Are America's 10 Favorite Snacks?
As the saying goes, nothing's more American than apple pie. But if a new list of the nation's top 10 favorite snack foods is any indication, it may soon be replaced by deliciously salty treats.
Research firm YouGov BrandIndex interviewed 5,000 people and asked whether they had good feelings about specific snack brands. Then, each brand was assigned a score based on the number of positive and negative reviews.
Ritz crackers came in at number one on the list, followed by Lay's—which finished at No. 1 and 2 for both men and women, but Doritos were rated higher by men. Women, on the other hand, seemed to prefer Fritos and Orville Redenbacher.
America's 10 favorite snacks:
1. Ritz
2. Lay's
3. Doritos
4. Fritos
5. Orville Redenbacher
6. Wheat Thins
7. Tostitos
8. Cheetos
9. Pringles
10. Triscuit

ELSAH, Ill.-- The GC baseball team beat Principia in both games of the double-header, winning 7-5 and 12-4. The wins improved the Panthers' Conference record to 7-11.
In the first game, GC fell behind early, allowing Principia to get a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Fortunately, the Panthers scored runs in the next three innings and took the 6-2 lead heading into the fifth. GC added another run in the game's final inning. Principia answered by scoring two runs in the seventh inning, but it was not enough and GC took the 7-5 victory.
Cody Hinterscher and Nick Bifano shared the mound for Greenville. Hinterscher faced 28 batters in the 6 innings he pitched and allowed three hits and four runs. Bifano faced four batters and gave up two hits and a run.
Dalton McFarland and Ryan Smith each hit a double for Greenville. McFarland, Smith, Dathan Berning, and Tyler Pilcher all had RBI for the Panthers.
In the second game of the double-header, GC came out on top once again. This time it was Greenville who recorded runs first, with GC putting two on the board early in the second inning. Although Principia fought to stage a come-back, they could not stop GC's impressive hitting. Greenville recorded 5 runs in the eighth and another two in the ninth, ending the game with a score of 12-4, GC.
These wins bring Greenville's record to 10-19 overall (7-11 SLIAC). The team will take the field again on April 26 at 3:00pm when they travel to Eureka for another SLIAC match-up.

New: OUTRAGEOUS! Berkeley's City Staff has essentially endorsed corruption by failing to hold TUFF and the BPOA accountable
Berkeley's Fair Campaign Practices Commission must hold the "Tenants' United for Fairness" TUFF slate — a dark-money stalking horse for the Berkeley Property Owners Association — accountable and punish these flagrant violations in a substantial fashion that sends a loud clear message to those who would destroy our local democracy!
Anything short of fining the TUFF Slate substantially MORE than that fake slate acquired through illegal, coordinated contributions will simply encourage additional economic/electoral excesses in all subsequent elections and substitute a pervasive culture of corruption for the culture of community involvement and concern which Berkeley is nationally known for.
Punish those who would destroy our democracy or the responsibility for this death of democracy lies at your feet.
The famous story goes that as Benjamin Franklin was emerging from Independence Hall, after helping to craft our Constitution and coalesce the necessary support to enact our democracy a woman approached him and asked: "Doctor Franklin. What have we got? A Representative Republic or a monarchy?" Our founding father replied: "A Republic, madam, if you can keep it."
Shine a light on the filth and decay, the corrupting, immoral, perverted monsters who hide their destructive monetary influences in the dark of shadows of corrupt but influential organizations which would deny us all representation. Support freedom. Support democracy. Support the values we believe in, have fought for and have bleed for, by holding those accountable who would do us such great damage.

In Ireland most people will be able to trace their families back to the first half of the 19th century. Trying to go back into the 1700s, and beyond, can be a hit-and-miss affair. It all depends on location, religion, social status and many other factors. Despite this, various surveys and listings are available from the 1700s for different counties. One example is that the oldest parish registers are from the cities of Ireland and can start as early as 1740. Records from parishes in Dublin for the mid 18th century give examples of the Buggy name. I have listed a few examples below from Roman Catholic parish registers.[1]
A man with the rather excellent name of Dionysius Buggy lived in Dublin in the mid 1700s. He first appears in the parish of St. Andrew. In 1742 he is listed as a sponsor (godparent) at the baptism of Christina Keary. One year later, who I presume is the same person, is listing as the father of Maria Buggy as she is baptized. His wife is Winifred Buggy. Dionysius must have been a man of strong morals and fervent religious practice as he is listed as a sponsor for a further eight children between 1743-1754. Further children of Dionysius and Winifred, including Elizabeth (1745), Thomas (1749) and Anna (1753) were baptized in the parish of St. Andrew.
Denis Buggy is listed as a sponsor in 1745 at the baptism of Elisabth (sic) Moore in the parish of St. Michael and St. John.
A burial of Wineford Buggy occurred in the parish of St. Nicholas Without in 1758. Despite the difference spelling this could be the same person as mentioned above.

Homicide detectives were investigating an afternoon shooting that occurred Friday in West Baltimore in a residential area between Mondawmin Mall and Druid Hill Park.
The shooting occurred at about 3:45 p.m. in the 3500 block of Woodbrook Ave. The victim's condition was not immediately known but homicide detectives were summoned to the scene due to the severity of his injuries.
Last week, a 47-year-old man was fatally shot in the same neighborhood, a few blocks south in the 2800 block of Parkwood Ave. The Safe Streets anti-violence program had held a peace rally two days later — and was shut down temporarily by the Health Department on Tuesday.
Anyone with information was asked to call homicide detectives at 410-396-2100.

Jan Mader to Receive the 2014 Homer L. Dodge Citation for Distinguished Service to AAPT
College Park, MD, October 15, 2013—AAPT has announced that Jan Mader will receive the association's Homer L. Dodge Citation for Distinguished Service to AAPT during the 2014 Winter Meeting in Orlando, Florida.
For more than 30 years Mader has been a physics instructor in the Great Falls Public Schools where she has also taught physical science, chemistry, and mathematics
She is one of the catalysts for increasing high school enrollment in physics in the United States for the past 15 years. It is no understatement to say that due to her work with the PTRA program, Prisms, and other physics education initiatives, Jan is probably the best known and most widely respected high school physics teacher in the Northwest United States. Her willingness to share her expertise has helped develop a cadre of new teachers that will continue to improve physics education in the United States.
The respect she has garnered in the physics community is of such a level that she has been recruited by Roy Unruh to help with the Prisms program revision, Larry Kirkpatrick to help with programs at Montana State, and Richard Olenick of the University of Dallas for the Mechanical Universe. Her work with the programs developed by these leaders of science education has kept Jan in the forefront of educational innovation, resulting in benefits to thousands of students throughout the US.
Her service to AAPT has included service as President of the Montana Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers, as a Physics Teaching Resource Agent (PTRA) since 2002, membership of the Committee on Physics in Pre-High School Education, Committee on Science Education for the Public, the AAPT Nominating Committee, and the Committee on Physics in High Schools which she has chaired twice.
She was the first female receipt of the AAPT Excellence in Pre College Physics Teaching Award and co-recipient of American Physical Society (APS) 2011 Excellence in Physics Education Award given to PTRA "For providing peer-led professional development for 25 years to more than 5000 physics and physical science teachers nationwide through a network of more than 500 master teachers."
Regarding her selection to receive this award Mader said, "The American Association of Physics Teachers has given so much to me in the last 25+ years. I have developed a network of colleagues and friends who have increased not only my knowledge base but filled my toolbox with incredible strategies and techniques based on educational research. Through the AAPT and PTRA I have been given opportunities of which I would never have dreamed. Thank you very much"

NPR's Business News starts with hardship for Malaysia Airlines. Malaysia's government will remove that airline from its national stock exchange today. Malaysia Airlines has operated at a loss for the past three years, and of course, its troubles were compounded by the disappearance of a flight over the Pacific in March and another shot down over eastern Ukraine last month. With today's move, Malaysia Airlines is now fully state-owned which is the first step of a major restructuring process. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The fuel pump's sole purpose is to take fuel from the fuel tank and deliver it according to the demand of the engine. When the fuel pump is working effectively, the car runs smoothly.
Before replacing the pump, first be sure that filters, fuel pickups, fuel pump relays, and electrical connectors are in good working order. A clogged fuel filter, for instance, can restrict flow and cause some of the same symptoms.
Keep at least 1/4 tank of gas in your car at all times. Low fuel essentially makes the pump work harder and will contribute to its failure.
Your engine needs gas to run. The gas, however, is stored in the gas tank, not in the engine. When the engine needs more fuel, the fuel pump is responsible for pumping the gas from the tank to the engine, where it is used to power the vehicle. As the fuel pump deteriorates, it will be less and less efficient at pumping gas to the engine, and your vehicle will have a harder time running. When the fuel pump completely dies, it will be unable to pump gas to your engine, and your car won't run.
Our service team is available 7 days a week, Monday - Friday from 6 AM to 5 PM PST, Saturday - Sunday 7 AM - 4 PM PST.

We often talk about the importance of a for families' economic security and our public health — but paid sick days are also an issue of basic fairness.
Our country needs more adequate, reasonable and flexible sick leave policies. Tens of millions of workers in this country don't have a single paid sick day. Many of those who do can't use them to meet their family's health needs. As a result, kids and their parents are forced to go to school or work sick, contagion spreads, and public health suffers.
Imagine living with someone you are crazy about who gradually turns into a stranger. Alzheimer's disease is a heartbreaking disease, not just because it takes a loved one in death, but because first, it takes that person's mind, personality, memory and character - the things that made us love them in the first place.
A few weeks ago, voters sent a clear message: They want Congress to work in a bipartisan manner to address the issues facing working families. But when Senators took their first vote after returning to Washington, they missed the chance to do just that. Yesterday's vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act was a failed opportunity and a real disappointment for all of us who care about fairness, women's progress, and economic security for working families.
Dan Malloy, former mayor of Stamford, Connecticut, and staunch supporter of paid sick days, was elected governor of Connecticut earlier this month — demonstrating the importance of paid sick days to working families in Connecticut, and the power the issue can have in an election.
Today's working families are juggling 'Ozzie and Harriet' policies in a web 2.0 world, and it's simply not sustainable. Workers are struggling to care for their families while both parents hold jobs. Families are straining to meet increasing child- and eldercare responsibilities. Parents have little savings to fall back on, and few jobs - and even fewer good jobs - to apply for, should they lose the jobs they have.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's decision to oppose the New York City Paid Sick Time Act — despite a supermajority in the City Council that is in favor of the bill — is incredibly disappointing.
As Members of Congress campaign for votes at home, the National Partnership for Women & Families and two of our key allies have been hard at work educating Congressional staff about the public health and economic security case for paid sick days policies.
It is well-documented that the wage gap hurts women and their families by denying them the fair wages that would help them pay for essential items like groceries, gasoline, and rent or mortgage payments. But the pay gap hurts women long after they have left the workforce, too.
It's the first Monday in October, and the Supreme Court convenes today for a new term. But this term is different from all others because, today for the first time ever, three women are serving together on our highest court. It is significant -- momentous -- that one-third of the Court is female, even though that fraction does not yet represent our proportion of the population. But it is a sign of progress that was once almost unimaginable for me and most of my peers.
Throughout the long, hot summer — despite the veto-proof majority in the New York City Council, despite the endless terrible experiences of workers who've been forced to work sick, despite the loads of testimony in favor of the Paid Sick Time Act — New York's proposed paid sick days law has remained in limbo.
Congress has only a few weeks left before it adjourns for the election - and the Senate still hasn't taken up the Paycheck Fairness Act. Time is running out, and women deserve - and need - fair pay.
Sunday was National Grandparents Day - and this year, we can do more for our grandparents than send candy or flowers. Let's take action to improve the health and economic security of our grandparents — and all of America's grandparents.

The much maligned Father's Day gift – the TIE – isn't required at our B&Bs.
If Dad enjoys sipping a cold one, we'll suggest: A stay at Brewery Creek, named by CNN last year as one the Top Ten Luxury Beer Vacation Destinations in America. Located in Mineral Point, a quaint pre-Civil War town, brewmaster / innkeeper Jeff churns out European style beers. Check out our micro-beer trail map and discover what's brewing throughout the state.
If Dad enjoys standing in a cold one – a world class trout fishing stream that is – the private back yard of the Mecan River House (Coloma) delivers, with many DNR newly created holes for trout to gather.
Let Dad make the choice of where / when, with a WBBA Gift Certificate – we mail the same day you order, Monday thru Friday.

Maybe the big surprise IS another former survivor, puddin! That's why TWO were voted out this week? There are 11 contestants left and 8 weeks left. So in order to have the F4 on Dec 18, one more person is needed to replace the last one out! Am I doing the math right?? *(^
Quote from: cinni on October 21, 2005, 09:35:03 AMmaybe they finally get to go through the ruins looking for it? or some other archeological kind of dig for it?Sure, that works. And when the WINNER of the FINDS THE IMMUNITY IDOL Challenge can hand in the Immunity IDOL... they receive the Individual Immunity necklace. Then,the tribes are merged right there, and get new buffs. This would make for an interesting time among the ruins, as the tribes celebrate the merge AND figure out who will be the first to go.(They never had to do both at the same time, did they?)MAYBE???And to to piggy back on this speculation.THIS THURSDAY:THE losing tribe, who goes to tribal council THIS WEEK.... is told, in a surprise, at the end of TC, that they will not be returning to their camp but will living with the others. (sort of like a fake merge, but they are actually told they will still be competing as separate tribes..)
maybe they finally get to go through the ruins looking for it? or some other archeological kind of dig for it?
Rudy and Puddin, Thanks for the kind welcome! *8/I have no trouble logging into the cbs fantasy game FWIW. Rudy, I feel bad for you after all of your problems last year trying to get points (as I said I have been reading for a long time!). Hope it gets better for you.
