hmmm, this could get interesting if enough info surfaces. There's also the timing of this being brought up by a lot of people on the right, with the UN gun control treaty.

Breaking: Colorado Massacre Linked To Historic Bank Fraud? YES!
WOW! James Holmes (CO Shooter) FatherVIP with American Credit Score and about to appear before Congress for LIBOR
A highly disturbing Ministry of Finance report on the largest bank fraud in history that is circulating in the Kremlin today warns that it is within the realm of possibility that the shocking movie massacre in Colorado this past week is but another integral part in the deliberate plan put in place by Western banking elites and their allies to collapse the global economy.
The massacre cited in this report is being referred to as the 2012 Aurora Shooting wherein suspect James Holmes [photo 2nd left] is purported to have opened fire during the playing of a movie killing 12 and injuring 58 in one of the worst mass shootings in recent US history.
Interestingly, this report notes, James Holmes is extremely intelligent, a gifted scientist and grew up in an affluent neighborhood; an eerie similarity he shares with other noted American killers of the past 3 decades including Andrew Cunanan, John Gardner, John Hinckley, Timothy McVeigh, Ted Kaczynski, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
Most important to note about James Holmes, however, this report says, is that his father, Robert Holmes, was said to have been scheduled to testify within the next few weeks before a US Senate panel on the largest bank fraud scandal in world history that is currently unfolding and threatens to destabilize and destroy the Western banking system.
Robert Holmes, whose blueblood family links go back to the Mayflower, is known throughout the global banking community as being the creator of one of the most sophisticated computer algorithms ever developed and is credited with developing predictive models for financial services; credit and fraud risk models, first and third party application fraud models and internet/online banking fraud models.
Educated at the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University, Robert Holmes is currently the senior lead scientist with the American credit score company FICO, which was formally known as Fair, Isaac and Company, and which every American citizen is beholden to should they need to borrow money.
The massive banking crime being investigated by the US Senate is called the LIBOR Scandal where UK banks fixed the London Interbank Borrowing Rate with the complicity of the Bank of England, the US Federal Reserve (which knew about this crime for 4 years and didnt report it) and many other major Western banks.
Not known to the majority of those affected by this LIBOR rate scandal (which is everyone in the world) is that its historically low setting of interests rates since the beginning of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2012 has done more to destroy the life savings, stock investments and retirements of Americas middle class than any other single event in their entire history.
Even worse, according to this report, Holmes recently completed his work on what is called one of the most sophisticated computer algorithms ever developed that not only uncovered the true intent of this massive fraud, but is, also, able to trace the Trillions of Dollars lost to the exact bank accounts of the elite classes who have stolen it.
Ministry intelligence officials note in this report that it is no coincidence that this Colorado massacre occurred within minutes of Londons Guardian News Service releasing their shocking report this past Saturday (21 July) titled Wealth Doesn't trickle Down It Just Floods Offshore, Research Reveals as Robert Holmes algorithms were said used to discover this massive fraud scheme.

dave101 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 45 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Wedding Music Unveiled (weddingmusicunveiled.com)
Wedding Music Unveiled is a new business that will assist in planning music for wedding ceremonies. We are musicians with much church wedding experience and recognize that most people have little experience or knowledge of classical music. With this recognition and our experience, we aim to help couples plan a distinctive, memorable wedding without having to resort to overused favorites. This will differ from other wedding guides that generally try to be all things to all people and offer musical help for weddings in gardens, churches of all types and just about every other kind of wedding. As a result, they tend to be generic, incomplete, and sometimes misleading regarding church weddings. We will focus exclusively on what we know.
Our initial product will be an ebook that contains how-to planning information (for selecting music, finding musicians, dealing with the church, coordinating everything, etc.) and lists with many music suggestions.
Feel free to check out blog (weddingmusicunveiled.com) to get a feel for the business.
Our target audience consists of two distinct groups.
Our primary target are those (generally, but not always, women) planning their church weddings (whether actually scheduled or still a dream) and those who might be assisting her.
Our secondary target are wedding musicians (for the most part, church musicians such as organists and pianists) an perhaps even clergy.
Ebook page size is 8.5x11" (tho', as long as design is scalable, there should be no issue). Eventual print book size is TBD.
Design should be flexible:
(1) I may split the ebook into two (one part for planning info, one part for music suggestions). Design would be the same, but I'd like to be easily able to switch up the titles.
(2) I may provide updates to the book over time (for example, to add new music selections) & might want to easily add something like "2011 edition".
Shades of blue are desired but don't need to dominate (see logo on web site for cues).
Title of ebook is "A Guide to Selecting Memorable Church Wedding Music". Could also be "Wedding Music Unveiled's Guide...".
Include the logo.
Wedding Music Unveiled is the author but it's not desired to say "by Wedding M...". The inclusion of the logo (& perhaps WMU name) should be sufficient to allow one to figure it out.
Christian symbology (such as a cross) should not be used as part of design. However, if it appears non-prominently in artwork (such as in a stock photo), that's OK. The focus is on music for church weddings, not the church part.
Because it is church weddings, no images or depictions of non-church (e.g. outdoor) weddings.
Must have a modern, professional appearance.
Must not seem stuffy, boring nor "cartoony". Must not be "girly" (avoid pinks, excessive frills, etc).
Please provide source files.

Diverging monetary policies are creating ideal conditions for banks to make money from trading currencies as Credit Suisse Group AG to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. say rising volatility is boosting earnings.
"If there's higher volatility, there's higher volume and higher opportunities for us to generate revenue," Bernie Sinniah, the London-based global head of corporate foreign-exchange sales at Citigroup Inc., the second-biggest currency trader, said in a phone interview.
Volumes in the biggest financial market jumped to a record $5.7 trillion a day in June, according to the latest data from CLS Bank, which operates the world's largest foreign-exchange settlement system. Deutsche Bank AG and Barclays Plc, which had the highest revenue from currency trading in 2012, published results today while HSBC Holdings Plc reports in the next week.
While the Federal Reserve said it plans to reduce the money it pumps into the U.S. economy should a recovery take hold, the European Central Bank is considering additional stimulus and the Bank of Japan announced four months ago an unprecedented bond-buying program. The JPMorgan Global FX Volatility Index jumped last month to the highest level since June 2012.
Stricter Rules
The rise in price swings should bolster banks' profits at a time when stricter regulations after the financial crisis threaten earnings from other divisions. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's latest rules, known as Basel III, will force the world's 101 largest banks to set aside additional capital to cushion against potential losses from businesses such as fixed-income.
"Foreign-exchange, which isn't a heavy consumer of risk- weighted assets or balance sheet, will become more important," George Athanasopulous, the co-head of global foreign exchange at Zurich-based UBS AG, which reported second-quarter earnings today, said in an interview. "Stringent capital requirements will reduce the footprint of businesses which rely heavily on risk-weighted assets and balance sheet."
Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank, the biggest foreign-exchange trader, earned the most from this business in 2012 at about $2.7 billion, while Barclays in London received $1.8 billion, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. estimates on June 28.

Caryn Reitkopp has passion like no other! Her Master's Degree in Education and more than 25 years of experience in various academic settings make her the ideal person to start Paws for Peace, LLC; a company that provides educational programs for pre-school age children. Her on-site workshops and field trips will teach young children compassion for all living things. Through the use of small animals and puppets, her offerings will promote empathy and kindness in children to help prevent violence and aggressive behavior before their value systems are set by age five.
Caryn has always been an animal lover and dreamed of becoming a humane educator for more than 15 years. Her sister and EWI board member, Melissa Reitkopp, encouraged Caryn to enroll in the Entrepreneur Training for Success course more than a year ago to pursue her dream. Caryn took her advice and is looking forward to making an impact in the world one child at a time.
Adjusting to the fast pace of ETS and keeping up with deadlines helped keep Caryn on track and produce a final business plan that is a major step in starting Paws for Peace, LLC and becoming an empowered entrepreneur!
Caryn hopes to one day purchase a farm and share the space and responsibility of running it and caring for the animals with other small businesses. Through Paws for Peace, LLC, she wants to build a community that will target different markets, yet all benefit from the space and the animals. She may even extend her business to include older students, senior citizens and children with special needs.
Caryn has witnessed her own son and young relatives expressing unique kindness to animals and sharing their opinion with their peers. Considering the recent movement against bullying in schools, Caryn is confident that her program can make the difference that she wishes to see in the world. We all could learn from Caryn and help make the world a kinder place to live for all.

Myasthenia Gravis
Can MG patients have sex?
Having sex is good or bad for people who suffering from MG?
Good or bad are terms that I usually avoid when discussing sexual activity. Sex can be safe for someone with myasthenia gravis if they do not have respiratory weakness or weakened muscles in the head and neck that might cause problems when they become fatigued. Sexual activity also is not just one type of activity so it is hard to generalize. This is an individual question, and should be discussed with your treating physicians to make sure they also feel that your breathing safety is sufficient for sexual activity. Be willing to discuss what sexual activity you intend to participate in and make sure you have the breathing capacity to not cause a problem.

Energy Aware Planning Guide (2011 Edition)
Publication Number: CEC-600-2009-013
Date Published: March 2011
Energy Aware Planning Guide, Commission Report
Download Report.
(Acrobat PDF file, 447 pages, 20.9 megabytes)
The Energy Aware Planning Guide, developed by the California Energy Commission in 1993 and updated in 2011, is a comprehensive resource for local governments seeking to reduce energy use, improve energy efficiency, and increase usage of renewable energy across all sectors. Wiser use of energy resources can lead to cost savings for local governments, residents, and businesses; reinvestment in the local economy; improved quality of life and public health; increased compliance with state and federal goals; and a more secure future. Additionally, strategies to reduce energy consumption promote progress towards aggressive greenhouse gas reduction goals laid out in Assembly Bill 32 (Núñez Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006), California's Global Warming Solutions Act.
The Energy Aware Planning Guide presents a menu of strategies and best management practices to help local governments improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption through transportation and land use and enhance renewable sources of energy. Strategies explored include: transportation and land use changes; optimizing water use; building improvements; and other strategies. Each strategy section contains general plan language ideas; implementation ideas; case studies; and resources. TheEnergy Aware Planning Guide also contains supporting information and references to help local governments organize strategies into an Energy Action Plan and estimate the likely energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction impacts of their strategies.

Brewster Academy product McGary returns, but Michigan falls
By MARK SNYDER
Detroit Free Press
AMES, Iowa
— Michigan came to Iowa State looking for its first real test.
The young Wolverines, ranked No. 7, got more than they could handle, even with Mitch McGary returning, losing to the Cyclones, 77-70 at a rowdy Hilton Coliseum.
Michigan (2-1) built an eight-point lead midway through the second half but poor interior defense continued to kill them.
The more experienced Cyclones (3-0) attacked the rim consistently in the second half, overcoming their poor outside shooting.
Michigan, which is the nation's 11th-youngest team, settled for three pointers and not nearly enough dropped, hitting just 8-of-29 (27.6 percent).
The return of McGary, a product of Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, was encouraging, with him logging big minutes, but he was the only player with a physical presence.
Iowa State had the resilience of a home team and one that had a little more experience.
The return of McGary, who finished with nine points and six rebounds, was at least an individual success. From the moment he entered the game less than four minutes in, he was the dynamic presence everyone remembered from the NCAA Tournament.
His lower back condition that kept him from the first two games and both exhibitions, didn't seem to bother him. He banged in the post, he ran the floor, showing his quick hands with four steals, and hit the deck a few times.

Sandown man convicted of carrying out burglariesBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
October 10. 2013 9:24PM
BRENTWOOD — A Sandown man who prosecutors say called homes on his cell phone before looting them of jewelry and electronics, was convicted of carrying out seven residential burglaries between 2009 and 2010.
A jury returned guilty verdicts on all charges against Joshua Fowler, 34, formerly of Derry, on Thursday afternoon in Rockingham County Superior Court.
The verdicts rejected testimony by Fowler, who claimed he had no role in the break-ins that happened at homes in Derry, Londonderry and Hampstead between October 2009 and March 2010.
Prosecutors told jurors that there wasn't direct evidence tying Fowler to the burglaries, but his cell phone records and pawn slips linked him to the burglarized homes and stolen valuables.
"The circumstantial facts scream that he was there," Blanchard said. "He's using his phone to make sure no one is home."
Blanchard said during closing arguments that Fowler would dial star-67 as a way to hide his phone number to homeowners that he was targeting, but it didn't mask his calls from police.
"He is calling the victims of burglaries," Blanchard said. "He must be the most unlucky man in the world."Blanchard said signals from Fowler's cell phone also placed him near the burglarized homes, and the pawn shops where stolen items were sold. Fowler testified on Wednesday that he was forced to talk to police after being taken into custody at a Lawrence, Mass., pawn shop, and had no role in the break-ins. He told jurors that he sometimes lent the cell phone linked to the burglaries to a friend.
Defense lawyer Mark Stevens argued that prosecutors had no direct evidence linking his client to the burglaries and asked a judge to dismiss the case on Wednesday.
Judge N. William Delker denied that request, saying the jury had enough evidence to decide the case.
Fowler faces up to 3½ to 7 years in state prison and a $4,000 fine on each of the seven counts of burglary.
Prosecutors offered alternative theories that Fowler either broke into the homes, or acted as an accomplice.

DENVER Civil unions for gay and lesbian couples took another improbable step forward in the Republican-led House on Friday afternoon, and the sponsor says he has enough votes to pass the bill.
Senate Bill 2 allows gay couples to get many of the same rights as married people. It survived a tight vote Thursday night in the House Judiciary Committee because of support from Loveland Republican Rep. B.J. Nikkel.
On Friday, it was Broomfield Republican Rep. Don Beezleys turn in the spotlight. He voted with the six Democrats on the House Finance Committee to pass the bill 7-6.
It really does come down to basic equity and fairness for human beings, Beezley told reporters after the vote. If the worst thing that happens in our society is that we have more people committing to long-term, meaningful, loving relationships, I think thats a good thing.
An opponent, Rep. Cindy Acree, R-Aurora, pointed to the 2006 election, where Colorado voters rejected a domestic partnerships ballot measure and amended the state constitution to declare that marriage is between one man and one woman.
We had an election not too long ago where the voters said they did not want to initiate a marriage in this capacity or expand the definition of a marriage, Acree said.
But the sponsor, Rep. Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, thinks his bill is on track to pass.
The next stop is the House Appropriations Committee, and Ferrandino said he has talked to several Republican members of the panel who are open to the bill.
The vote is likely to happen Tuesday morning.
If it passes, the last stop would be the House floor, where Ferrandino predicted every Democrat and more than enough Republicans will vote to pass the bill.
The Legislatures annual session ends Wednesday, but Ferrandino said that leaves plenty of time to pass SB 2 as long as House leadership does not delay it.
The Houses Republican leaders oppose the bill, but so far they have not used the procedural tools at their disposal to kill the bill through delays.

British singer Charli XCX tends to have a dark view of relationships. On her debut studio album, "True Romance," she compares being in love to being trapped in a prison cell, getting poisoned and surviving a nuclear winter.
"I don't think true romance is just brilliant and dreamy like you're walking on clouds all the time," said Charli, born Charlotte Aitchison 20 years ago. "To have actual true romance you need those moments where you're tortured and depressed and crying all the time. Otherwise it's not real."
Even at its heaviest, however, "True Romance" maintains its playfulness, and it's possible to picture the album's gothic dance tracks playing between cuts by the Cure and Echo & the Bunnymen during the weekly new wave night at local club Neo.
By phone, Charli opened up about her fascination with former Mouseketeers, her distaste for reality singing programs and the one time she was an unwitting accessory to a crime.
You've said in other interviews that you've never been on an actual date. So you never had that classic high school prom experience or anything?
No! I've never been on a "date" date, which is really sad because I love the idea of it. Maybe you could ask your readers to take me on a date [laughs]. I'm just kidding.
Is that a byproduct of starting your career so young?
I don't think so. That's just always the way I've been. I've either been deeply involved in a relationship or I've been completely the opposite.
You got your first record deal at 16. Starting out so young almost seems like a recipe for disaster these days, since every week another former teen star seems to have a public meltdown.
To be honest, when I was younger I'd have a lot of breakdowns where I'd cry all the time just because I couldn't understand the whole process. I thought you signed a record deal and then a couple months later you put an album out and that was it. In hindsight, I'm really lucky I worked with good people who didn't push me. I was given a lot of time to grow up as a person. I didn't have that Disney-kid, child-star experience.
I've read you wanted to be a Disney kid though.
[Laughs] I'm not sure I'd really want to be a Disney kid, but I am fascinated by them. It's this crazy world that's wrapped in plastic and pink frills, and underneath it's all really fragile. It's like they're puppets waiting to break out, and when they do break out it's either amazing or a disaster. I just find that whole world confusing and scary and fascinating.
How do you think you would have fared on a reality singing program like "Pop Idol" or "The Voice"?
Oh, I would never, ever, ever in a thousand years do one of those programs. Even if someone paid me like the biggest amount of money I could imagine, I would never go on those shows because I feel like they put you in this box and tell you exactly what to do. It really pisses me off when the guy goes on and he has slightly long hair or whatever and they're like, "Oh, this is the 'rock' guy." Then he comes back for the final week and they've made him dye his hair red and wear some stupid tie with a piano on it. So they have him dressed up like Avril Lavigne's 12-year-old boyfriend because he once had long hair and played guitar.
Did you record "What I Like" in response to Chief Keef's "I Don't Like"?
[Laughs] No, I didn't. I actually haven't heard that song, which is probably very uncool of me. I need to go listen to it now.
You did bring in Danny Brown for the remix. Are you a fan of hip-hop in general?
Yeah, I am. I have a theory that when the world ends, all rappers will survive and repopulate the earth, because rappers both female and male are, like, the coolest people, and I assume all their children would be really badass and amazing and funny and the world would be a better place. I used to want to be a rapper when I was younger. I was obsessed with Eminem and I'd wear big white T-shirts and write my own raps, but they were all [bleep].
The album closes with "Lock You Up." Have you ever been arrested?
[Laughs] No, I haven't. Is that really uncool? Well, we were driving the other day and we got pulled over for speeding. But that's about as hardcore as I get, really.
Were you the one driving?
I wasn't. I was asleep in the back and missed the whole thing.
So the best you can say is you've been an unwitting accomplice to speeding?
[Laughs] Exactly. Sorry to disappoint!
Charli XCX opens for Marina and the Diamonds, 7:30 p.m. May 20 at Riviera Theatre. Sold out.

Last weekend we had a family potluck dinner for my Mom's birthday, plus my brother's girlfriend's birthday, AND her son's birthday!! Birthday mania! ... I had just finished leading a yoga retreat, so I knew I wanted something quick and easy. Pesto to the rescue! Luckily I have a metric ton of fresh-frozen pesto in my freezer, so this was a quick meal to bust out.
Salad and veggies and delicious bread provided by various awesome family members. Potlucks are the best. You can also see our overflow fruit area.... the Vegan Eats & Treats household is serious about fruit consumption!
Well, no party's a party without cupcakes. And, we all know cuppers don't really take that long either. I whipped together a quick batch of the *amazing* Coconut Cupcakes with Coffee Buttercream Frosting from "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World." My brother's ladyfriend is a big fan of coconut, so that was the obvious place to start. Don't they look beautiful, even bare out of the oven!?
Then I got the criminally delicious coffee frosting on there, and dipped them in toasted coconut. I think these might be my new favorite cupcake. It was getting a little dark, so I went out in the backyard for better photo lighting. Well, look who followed me! Apparently little Stevie Wonder also loves coconut cupcakes. Or, at least, she suspects she would love them, and would like very much to do some empirical testing to prove her hypothesis. She kept smacking her lips in the cutest way, and I kept missing her bright pink tongue with my slow camera skills.... so I made a movie!

Mexico's President, Felipe Calderon, Becomes a TV Adventure Guide
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
In a series of PBS programs set to broadcast starting in September, Mexico's balding, 49-year-old president, Felipe Calderón, will go down a sinkhole, up a river (with a paddle) and over the top of a few pyramids in an attempt to boost Mexico's flagging tourism industry.
Calderón is personally trying to change his country's violent reputation by appearing as a sort of adventure tour guide in the programs, which will be broadcast in the United States.
The president dons an Indiana Jones-style hat and a harness and descends a rope into the 1,000-foot-deep (375-meter) Sotano de las Golondrinas cavern, accompanied by Peter Greenberg, host of the "The Royal Tour" TV series. Calderón also straps on scuba tanks to lead Greenberg into a sinkhole lake known as a cenote in Yucatan. And he helps a Lacandon Indian paddle a boat down a river in a jungle in southern Chiapas state.
In the 30-minute videos, Calderón breaks from his image as a lawyerly policy wonk best known for launching a bloody, controversial offensive against drug cartels. He plans to attend a premiere of the show within a few weeks, according to Tourism Department spokesman Roberto Martinez.
"I have other duties that are more dangerous," Calderón jokes, dangling midair in a cavern as a rope lowers him hundreds of feet to the bottom. The site is in the Gulf coast region of Mexico known as the Huasteca, which is covered in jungle and dotted with caverns, waterfalls and crystalline pools.
Calderón swaps the explorer hat for a helmet with a headlamp for the descent into the Golondrinas cave, named for the huge flocks of birds that live inside. Calderón also appears in underwater footage from the stalactite-studded cenote in Yucatan, where he flashes the camera an "OK" signal from behind his dive mask.
Analysts say the videos represent a distinct break from the solemn treatment that has long characterized the Mexican presidency but fit in with Calderón, who has emphasized using the media to get his message across, and who has sought to project a forceful image.
"That's always been his objective, the whole macho thing," said John Ackerman, of the legal research institute at Mexico's National Autonomous University. In 2007, soon after putting the army on the front line of his offensive against drug cartels, Calderón departed from presidential tradition by putting on an olive-green army jacket that was a few sizes too big for his short frame, an image that has been widely lampooned in newspaper cartoons ever since.
"From the very beginning, using the military uniforms and saluting, it's always been his kind of thing," Ackerman said. "It doesn't quite fit with his physical appearance."
Drawing criticism, Calderón's administration took the image-building a step further this year by funding a privately produced television miniseries glorifying the federal police, which was broadcast by the country's largest network. On Friday, the navy told local news media that it is letting private producers use navy locations to make a miniseries about the force, but that the navy is not financing any of the production.
Calderón's message in the latest videos is that Mexico is safe for tourists.
"This is part of a strategy to promote the country abroad," said Martinez.
Nobody argues that Mexico's tourism needs a boost. According to the country's central bank, overall foreign tourism in 2010, not including border-area visitors, was still 6.3 percent below 2008 levels, and the first half of 2011 saw a 2 percent decline from the same period of 2010.
Cruise ship visits in the first half of the year declined 9.3 percent, after several cruise lines canceled Pacific port calls in Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.
Analysts blame the drops on the world economic downturn hitting many countries' travel industries, but also pointed to Mexico's drug violence, which has claimed between 35,000 and 40,000 lives since Calderón took office in late 2006.
While foreign tourists have not been targets of the violence, a point Calderón is eager to make, it has had some undeniable effects. For example, the border highway that many U.S. visitors once used to travel to the Huasteca region where Calderón went cave-diving is now considered so plagued by highway holdups and shootings that the U.S. State Department has issued warnings about traveling there.
The Huasteca remains a beautiful and largely safe region, but most tour operators recommend foreigners fly to a nearby Mexican airport rather than drive down from the border.
Some argue that Calderón's stint as a television travel guide might be ill-advised, both because it compromises the dignity of the presidency and comes just months before campaigning opens for the 2012 elections to choose his successor.
Mario di Costanzo, a congressman for the leftist Labor Party, says he has requested information on how much Mexico spent to film the series. Calderón's office said the videos' U.S. producers paid production costs on the trips, but Mexican presidential and military helicopters can be seen ferrying the 'presidential tourists' around.
"We are questioning the legality of the president's actions," Di Costanzo said. "Never in the history of the country has the image of the president been used to promote tourism."
"We see this as a promotion of Felipe Calderón's own image, for the benefit of his own party, rather than an institutional image of the country as a tourism destination," Di Costanzo noted.
Greenberg has previously traveled with the king of Jordan, the president of Peru, and the prime ministers of New Zealand and Jamaica on similar programs.
Congresswoman Leticia Quezada of the Democratic Revolution Party said her party objects to Calderón using government vehicles and personnel for the series, and said he has been spending too much time and money on television.
"We're going to start calling him Felipe Calderón Productions," she quipped.

It's more than past time for a new post here!! Currently I'm sitting at the "Beacon of Bloggers" table so it only seems right that I actually update my blog. It's been so much fun that I've actually gotten to meet in person a number of my facebook friends.
Susan Peterson (R) of Long Lost Relatives and me just getting ready to start the day.
Jenna Mills (L) of Desperately Seeking Surnames. Although you can't see it, we both have fresh pedicures :-)
And of course, Thomas MacEntee of Geneablogger fame. He is as full of energy as you would imagine. It's fun to be in the presents of actual Blogger Royalty - well at least that's what one of his ribbons says ;-) I attended his twitter class today and might actually be able to logically "follow along" now.
More later - but just wanted to let everyone know what a fun place Kansas City is this weekend.

she's no trouble. really.Tuesday, August 16, 2011
Last week one morning, I sat outside finishing a baby hat. Debating if I was going to use a contrasting color for the trim and braids. I opted to just go with a solid. (I just happened to take a photo for my 365.)
I guess Trouble was pretty happy I didn't use that contrasting color. She could have it all to herself.

I think most smallish dogs could be named trouble. One of my dachsies loved yarn and one day ran outside with a ball and wrapped it around the deck. Another one had the bad habit of eating knee high hose. My vet told me that if he didn't throw up the stocking within a few minutes to pour hydrogen peroxide down his throat to force him to give up the hose. It did work! JoReplyDelete

ya gotta LOVE Airedales...I grew up with them (my aunt raised them) and we have had 4...our newest addition is Genevieve who is just 4 months old...and we have a 6 year old Maizie...just lost Clarabel(10) in March...the are just FABULOUS dogs...I do have to keep my knitting up high beyond G's reach!ReplyDelete
Nice selection on the cardigan..I'm sure it will be a winner.ReplyDelete
Trouble - a very lucky dog to belong to a nice "pack" where they share their fun.
Trouble is lucky that he is so darn cute! I love that pattern and have thought about making it. I am trying to use a bit of stash right now. I need to buy per project not because I love the yarn. Trying to find projects absed on what I have is not always as fun as starting totally from scratch.ReplyDelete

Maybe Trouble's thinking she'd like to knit herself a sweater with that yarn! All she needs is some needles and she's good to go. Thanx for the second half of the list and I really enjoyed your last couple of posts...just late at commenting is all. Those lounge pants have been on my mind since I saw your original post and I haven't made time to actually make them. There isn't enough time in a day sometimes. Loved your pix and what a good looking family! I'm excited to see your upcoming finished cardi, too. Great choice.ReplyDelete
I just purchased this book to make this very hat! I love to watch what your making. I always wanted to learn to knit, but didn't have any family members that knit. Decided it was time to learn with my first grandchild. I absolutely love it! I'm so envious of your talent. Thanks for sharing your art!ReplyDelete
It's fun to see what sweater you chose. A few more big ASU jobs and I might be knitting the Sullivan. Trouble is very cute! I think he was straightening out the yarn for you.ReplyDelete
Well, the good news is that Trouble went for the yarn rather than the hat - right? BTW, I do like the hat as solid red; it is what I would have chosen to knit (not that my opinion matters!). Lucky baby.ReplyDelete
I also like the cardigan, especially the shaping in the back. Look forward to progress photos once you cast on.
Note to jo: What a terrible ordeal for you and your dog. Your experience makes a good case for pet insurance. $5K - sheesh!!!
Oh so jealous! Aidez is my favorite of all the suggestions that you posted. I would love to be casting on for that one too.ReplyDelete
She's just so cute!ReplyDelete
What fun...for Trouble! Can't wait to see your sweater all knit up. The baby hat is so sweet...nothing quite like a babe in a hand knit cap.ReplyDelete
Oh trouble..., what a sweet innocent face! I got a yarn ball thing....it looks like a hamster ball and it keeps the dogs from eating yarn while I work!ReplyDelete
SO adorable...the hat and trouble! My little cousin would look adorable in that winter hat. Decisions. Decisions. Sew or Knit?ReplyDelete

BALTIMORE | Brandon Workman allowed one hit over 6 2/3 innings, and the Boston Red Sox beat Chris Tillman and the Baltimore Orioles 1-0 on Tuesday night for their second win in eight games.
Mike Napoli's third-inning RBI single was all the offense the Red Sox needed to come out on the positive end of a pitcher's duel for the first time this season. Boston was 0-18 when scoring fewer than three runs.
Twins 4, Blue Jays 0
TORONTO | Brian Dozier hit a two-run home run, Kevin Correia won for the first time in four starts and the Minnesota Twins beat the Toronto Blue Jays. Newly signed slugger Kendrys Morales had two hits and scored a run as the Twins avoided falling a season-worst five games below .500.
Royals 9, Indians 5

Hosmer also drove in a run during a four-run fourth inning.

National League
Cubs 7, Pirates 3
CHICAGO | Anthony Rizzo homered, doubled twice and drove in three runs to lead the Chicago Cubs over the Pittsburgh Pirates, spoiling Gregory Polanco's much-anticipated debut. Rizzo hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Francisco Liriano, who left in the fourth with discomfort on his side. Rizzo also doubled and scored in the fourth and hit an RBI double in the seventh, a drive to deep right-center that struck Polanco's left wrist as the touted rookie tried to make the catch.
Mets 6, Brewers 2
NEW YORK | Taylor Teagarden hit a grand slam in his Mets debut, Daniel Murphy had a two-run shot and New York beat the Milwaukee Brewers to snap a six-game skid. Called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday to replace demoted catcher Travis d'Arnaud, Teagarden connected for his second career slam after Marco Estrada walked the bases loaded. The 30-year-old Teagarden had struck out in his first two at-bats.

A Havelock man reported missing early Tuesday morning was found walking down the road around 7 a.m. today, according to the Havelock Police Department.
HAVELOCK � A Havelock man reported missing early Tuesday morning was found walking down the road around 7 a.m. today, according to the Havelock Police Department.
A reserve Craven County Sheriff's deputy spotted Steven Daniel Tompkins, 28, in the area where city and county authorities conducted a search well into the night on Tuesday.
Diane Miller, city spokeswoman, said Havelock rescue personnel were treating Tompkins, but he didn't appear to have any serious injuries.
Police called off the search for Tompkins, of Havelock, around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. The search focused on a wooded area off Railroad Street where Tompkins' car was located earlier in the day.
A statewide silver alert was issued Tuesday morning for Tompkins, who had been last seen on Donnell Avenue late Monday night. He was reported missing early Tuesday morning. Tompkins is believed to suffer from some form of dementia or other cognitive impairment, according to information from the N.C. Center for Missing Persons.
Police located Tompkins� 2003 Nissan Maxima on Tuesday morning parked on the side of Railroad Street with the keys still in the ignition, Miller said. The location is near a wooded area that is part of the Croatan National Forest.
Havelock police and Havelock Fire and Rescue personnel used four-wheel ATVs to look for Tompkins on Tuesday along clear lines and a trail in the forest. Morehead City police tracking dogs assisted, as did personnel aboard the Pedro search and rescue helicopter from Cherry Point.
The city also received help in the search from the Newport Police Department, Craven County Sheriff�s Office and Carteret County Sheriff�s Office. The Cherry Point base mobile command center was also sent to the scene at the intersection of Creek Drive and Railroad Street.

Ladies, how well do you know your bodies? Maybe not as well as you think.
Women are often confused about when they're most likely to conceive naturally, according to a new Australian survey of women seeking help at fertility clinics.
Just 13 percent of women surveyed by researchers at Monash University in Melbourne could correctly answer which days of their cycle they were fertile – this despite the fact that 68 percent said they believed they had accurately timed sex in their attempts to conceive naturally, and 87 percent said they tried to improve fertility knowledge.
Plus: Find Your Ovulation Date With Our Fertility Calendar
In short, the study of 204 women seeking fertility treatment found that a majority of them had insufficient knowledge of when to time sex to optimize natural conception in the first place.
Scientists define infertility as the inability to conceive after a year of unprotected sex. A woman is most fertile during the time just before and including ovulation, typically 14 days before the start of a period.

Assemblyman John Ceretto has announced the New York State Department of Financial Services will deploy a second mobile command center to assist people who were affected by the recent floods. This one will be located at the North Tonawanda City Hall, 216 Payne Ave., on Friday, July 26, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The mobile command center will assist those affected by the flooding with filling out applications and assessing damages.
"I thank Gov. Cuomo for making these mobile command centers available to our community, and I encourage anyone who was affected by the flooding to come and get assistance," Ceretto said. "You do not have to be a resident of North Tonawanda to take part. Be sure to bring documentation of your damages, such as photographs, to make the process as fast as possible. The faster damages are reported, the faster we can deliver aid to those affected."

Missouri health researches to study creek fallout
ST. LOUIS (AP) - St. Louis County health officials say they will hire researchers to study illness rates among residents near a creek that was contaminated decades ago by nuclear waste.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the St. Louis County Health Department will hire three researchers to study chronic disease and cancer rates. Researchers will focus on the area near Coldwater Creek.
Residents near the creek reported high rates of cancer in a survey that caught the attention of federal, state and local health officials. Residents say diseases are prevalent among people who graduated high school in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The Health Department director says the county needs to validate and investigate the residents' reports.
A 2013 Missouri Health Department study found no higher risk of cancer for people living near the creek.

Sarah Wayne Callies Nixed By Prison Break
Sarah Wayne Callies is not returning to Prison Break this season, reports TV Guide.
The 30-year-old actress, who plays Dr. Sara Tancredi, was reportedly on maternity leave but apparently that's not the case!
This doesn't make much sense creatively for the show as Prison Break spent two years building her relationship with Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), but we'll see how the writers spin this one. Who's going to be Michael's new love interest this season???
Back in January, it was announced that Callies would be expecting her first child, with husband Josh Winterhalt, in late summer. No news about the birth has officially been announced yet but the baby is reportedly a girl.
UPDATE: A publicist for FOX just issued a statement exclusively to JustJared.com: "Actually – the network and studio has not confirmed that Sarah Wayne Callies has departed the series this season. Dr. Sara Tancredi plays a significant part in the storyline this year." So the question still remains — will Callies return as Dr. Tancredi?
