Where are you from? And, are you currently living there? If not, where are you currently living?
I am from Vietnam. Born and raised until I was three. I am currently living in San Jose, CA.
Does your personality match your Zodiac sign? Describe.
Aquarius' are said to be independent, loyal, friendly, inventive and original and I believe I have those traits.
I am independent because I build my portfolio, to what I am capable of doing, and I never depended on anyone to be at the stage I am now, but I do have people who have helped!
Loyalty is very important in my personal life and modeling. You have to be able to have people trust you, and it all starts with proving that you're loyal.
Friendly; I am! I always reply to my fans, and supporters! I stay humble, and believe I wouldn't be where I am without the people in my life.
Being inventive and original is my main goal. I feel like you need to set a specific style and call it your own. If you can do that you can start on becoming an original, and being inventive is super important in modeling because you wouldn't want to look like everyone else, you want to be able to stand out and be distinguishable!
What would you say are your strengths as a model?
I love to network and meet new people and help people and get that help back! Support for support. And I'm actually a really genuine, friendly person as well, so there's no need to hesitate approaching me.
What is your best beauty secret?
My secret would have to be makeup! Haha, I'm just kidding, I'm still me in bare face, hehe. But my secret would actually be that I Don't drink or smoke. That can affect your skin, and liver.
Where can we see you?
You can see me in music videos, Super Street magazine, November 2012! Also online at my sites, and YouTube! AND shows! I hope to expand into different parts of North America, then later internationally.
What are your future plans (long term goals)?
Become a pharmacist! That's my personal life goal, but with modeling, I want to grace the covers of magazines, influence young girls to be humble and have stamina. I also want to travel and meet people from all over the world!
Do you drink? If so, what do you drink? If not, why do you not drink?
I use to drink, who doesn't right? BUT, I no longer drink. Drinking can make you feel good at the moment, but the aftermath, is what I hate the most! No more alcohol for me.
What is the best present you received? What is the best present you gave?
The best present I've received is the love and support I am receiving and continue and hopefully to receive in the future!
Where (restaurants) do you like to eat? What do you order? Why?
I love Thai food, and Sushi! Thai food would have to be pad sew, and sushi, anything with cream cheese.
What do you do on your spare time?
I like to read! I'm a nerd, I know, but it's super peaceful!
How do you keep in such excellent shape? Explain your daily/exercise routine.
Haha, I have no secrets. It's so bad, but I eat and eat and eat anything at any time, but don't drink soda! I should probably go sign up for a gym pass ASAP.
Are you big on first impressions? What do you first notice on a man?
Yes I am. The way a man carries himself will define how he is later on. I first notice their smile, if you can make me smile, that's brownie points!
What's on your travel itinerary? Are you planning to go to any events in the future and/or vacation with your family, friends or 'significant other'?
Wekfest Hawaii, I hope; any events in SoCal because I am trying to expand down there. I also would love to go to the Bahamas, oh what a dreamy place!
How would you like your boyfriend to propose to you?
Haha! I think surprises are the best, but definitely somewhere tropical and romantic and Warm!
Marriage song? What song would you like played on your wedding night? Why?
"Back at One," by Brian McKnight. Who doesn't love this song, right? I feel like the lyrics express how you would feel being with the love of your life on your special night.
What else can you tell us about yourself?
I am an only child, too nice sometimes, but definitely humble. I hope everyone can see past the image, and know me for who I really am. It's hard to get close to me, but I love the ones that are close already!
Any shout-outs or last words?
Shout outs to all my fans, supporters, and everyone else! Without you guys I wouldn't be able to be where I am, and continue to do what I do, without the response. I love everyone that have helped me and continue to be a part of my journey! Thank you all!


text: Hello Group, I have planned a new ISPCONFIG3 install on CentOS 6.3 and had a few questions. Drive Configuration: The server I will be using is a dual quad processor Dell PowerEdge 1950 rack server. It is an older server but has the 64bit & L2 cache etc. Unfortunately there are only 2 sata drive bays. Typically I just install centOS + ISPCONFIG on a large single drive and then image the whole drive from time to time using G4U (Ghost for Unix) for backups. This time I am entertaining just doing a mirrored raid so I don't have to backup as often. That way if one drive goes down there is no data loss and no downtime until I swap the drive out (using G4U to image the good drive that is left). Since there are only 2 SATA bays I will need to pull one drive and reboot with G4U to backup from time to time. I know writes may be a bit slower with the mirror array but I believe reads are faster. My question regarding this topic is simply should I use a mirror raid array as I desribed above or not? I am interested in any opinions. Networking : Ideally I would like to utalize both network cards in the server as follows. One configured with a real IP (WAN) and the other configured with a non-broadcast IP for my LAN segment and for faster local transfers. I do not intend to use the ISPCONFIG box in any way as a router/gateway for the LAN side. In the past I have had some problems trying to run 2 or more network cards with ISPCONFIG. I bailed and just decided to run a single network card on a real IP in the ISPCONFIG box versus a non-broadcast IP behind a third party firewall. I forget if the issue was simply trying to get to the ISPCONFIG server via FQDNS from the LAN (I think so)? I have 5 IP's available on my feed. It looks like the only way I can use all 5 for ISPCONFIG & LAN is if my ISPCONFIG box is setup with a non-broadcast IP and behind a third party firewall. Then have the firewall (like m0n0wall forward any relevant port requests to the ISPCONFIG box like SSH, http, https, DNS etc.). In this configuration I would only need to run one network port (just the LAN side) which solves speed issues for local transfers to and from the ISPCONFIG box. If I use a real IP on the ISPCONFIG box + built in firewall (like I have it now) then my LAN computers will need their own IP (one IP) to be able to access the net. In this situation (as is the case currently) trying to access the ISPCONFIG box is as slow as if it were on the other side of the planet or at least as fast/slow as my feed if you know what I mean. Also, I loose being able to assign that IP on ISPCONFIG because I will need it for the LAN side. In short I my plan is to run a mirrored array backud up occasionally with G4U and either my ISPCONFIG box with a non-broadcast address on a single IP behind a third party firewall or an ISPCONGIG box with 2 cards active (one for LAN + one for WAN) as described above. Not sure what to do as I want to assign multiple IP's do different domains on the ISPCONFIG box. Thanks in advance for any replies/advice. Art

The hot-headed Marvel writer berated a group of Girl Scouts after editor Stephen Wacker had difficulty opening a box of cookies.
Source: ThanosCopter Newswire
After a busy day at the Marvel offices, Stephen Wacker took to Twitter yesterday to decry a box of delicious Thin Mint cookies that he found troublesome to open. "If you thought AvX was exciting you should check out Steve vs. These Damn Thin Mints," the frustrated editor Tweeted. Rushing to his defense as usual, Daredevil writer Mark Waid quickly located a Girl Scouts meeting at a nearby elementary school and went on the attack.
"Any of you little shits sells Stephen Wacker a difficult-to-open box of cookies again, you're gonna be eating through a straw for the rest of your life!" shouted Waid to a troup of Daisies, the division of the Girl Scouts of America reserved for girls ages 5-7. "He's the most professional man I've ever known, dammit!"
Waid then grabbed a box of Tagalongs from a table, threw it violently to the floor, and stomped on it repeatedly before storming out of the building, leaving behind a mess of chocolate and peanut butter crumbles and sobbing children.
After police detectives were finished investigating, The Outhouse asked one of the little girls who Mark Waid made cry for comments. "I don't know why the man was so mean to me," said Katie Bonds, a six year old with tears streaming down her face. "Why did the man break our cookies? I don't even know who Mister Wacker is."
When we informed Katie that Wacker was a powerful editor at Marvel Comics, she returned a blank stare. "Is he friends with Hulk?" she finally asked.
"I'm tired of people giving Stephen Wacker a hard time," Waid reportedly told associates later that night. "I've been standing up for him since 2006, when Newsarama message board posters were talking shit about Wacker leaving DC during the publishing of the weekly comic, 52."
"He's my little buddy," Waid added, looking wistful. "You don't mess with a guy's little buddy."
Waid most recently came to Wacker's aid when Before Watchmen writer J. Michael Straczynski was fighting with Wacker on Twitter over the state of Amazing Spider-Man sales after Straczynski left the book, saying of the notoriously wishy-washy creator, "Half an hour later, still fuming at JMS's shitty passive-aggressiveness. I should probably go walk it off. Maybe with a long walk. A long, dull, pointless, boring walk. Across America. ... That I won't finish."
Wacker isn't the only subject that gets Waid's blood boiling. Last year, he ripped into Newsarama editor in chief Lucas Siegel when Siegel named Christopher Reeve one of the top ten worst superhero film actors in a hit-baiting fluff article.
Stay tuned to The Outhouse this weekend for a followup story: Mark Waid berates Outhouse Writers After Not Getting Joke in Satirical Article

by nietoperz » Sat Mar 16, 2013 12:37 pmTo be fair, though, who hasn't wanted to slap Lucas Siegel around a bit. He's eminently slappable.
by Rockman » Sat Mar 16, 2013 12:38 pmTagalongs are the best
by Juan Cena » Sat Mar 16, 2013 12:40 pmWhat did Steve do when the Girl Scout wouldn't quit trying to get him to buy some cookies?
Steve Wacker.

Whenever I see "Tagalongs" my brain thinks "Tagalog"
by Royal Nonesuch » Sat Mar 16, 2013 4:17 pmI like the Samoa's.
by MrBlack » Sat Mar 16, 2013 4:31 pmMy wife picked up two boxes of Thin Mints after I devoured the first box she bought.
I ate both boxes. She was pissed. I didn't mean to. It's just once I started I didn't even notice how many I'd eaten.
by Grayson » Sat Mar 16, 2013 7:34 pmDammit Mark Waid, you leave the Girl Scouts alone!
They are an American institution!
Also, I love the Samoas and Thin Mints!
by Juan Cena » Sat Mar 16, 2013 11:26 pmIf Mark Waid ran the Girl Scouts, he'd change their motto to "Eat Them, Grandpa."

so okay they gave Dante black hair but why the super emo hoodie like come on
I think people should stop hating on the new Dante. Yeah he has been around for like 9 years but Ninja Theory said that the game will tie in to the other devil may cry games.
They went to capcom with designs of Dante that where similar to old Dante and they didnt like it and told them to change the whole entire design of the character. They want to redesign the whole entire devil may cry franchinse so it will appeal to a more modern audience. xD I personally dont think that the new Dante is that bad and he kinda looks like the old one if you compare the two. everyone looks diiferent when they are younger so xD
I don't care really since it isn't a big deal. I'm confused though that different articles talking about Dante's new appearance had different statements about it: that either it's him in his younger days or his permanent design.
=\ i think it is suposed to be him in his younger days BUT he kinda looks older than Dantes from Devil May Cry 3 so :S i cant wait for the game to come out because i think Ninja Theory are an awesome developer and with their track records of game releases that this could be one of the best devil may cry games xD
overall i bet it's going to be awesome game
plus get some dante and vergil action
I was a little skeptical when i first saw the trailer, but now I've kinda warmed up to the idea. It doesn't look half bad actually and i'm sure the gameplay will be as badass as the other installments. My opinion is kinda biased though, because i love playing Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden Games.
I do it for the LoL'z.
yäk ! Dante looks awful in that first picture... I prefer his old looks !
------not so active right now----
Why the reboot anyway in the first place? Ninja Theory, don't fuckin giving me that Dante will get is power during this game and his hair will turn white. This ain't no fuckin Dragon Ball Z...
You Must Defeat my Dragon Punch to Stand a Chance
Its being reboot because Japanese developers dont think that they are making games to the standard of Western developers. Hideo Kojima said it and so did Kenji Infuane. Ninja Theory make amazing hack and slash adventure games so thats why its being reboot by a Western developer. Over the next couple of years things could become a trend in Japanese game developers to hand franchises over to Western developers to give a new take on the game. ( or maybe just a trend with Capcom :P)
I wouldnt say amazing, Heavenly Sword lags a bit. Since the reboot dmc will be on the Unreal engine, its going to run crappy on the PS3. Unreal engine is not meant for Hack and Slash game.
You Must Defeat my Dragon Punch to Stand a Chance
I am excited for a new DMC game in general. It will probably be an awesome and fun game and people will get used to the new look.
I don't like the new appearance upon first glance though. I don't think Dante's old look is THAT outdated, he looked badass! If "modern audiences" can't grasp that, then they suck. xD I personally really just love longer hair on guys...
Rocket to the moon! 8D
dantes apperance was good threw out da series i just hope the gameplay is hellass fun
I don't hate the premise, but I am worried about the project being in the hands of Ninja Theory... I still don't think they have proven themselves as a good developer (yet). Enslaved came close but it fell short in a lot of areas. Are they up to the task of handling one of our most loved franchise?
It depends, if the gameplay is like Devil May Cry 3 and 4 or Bayonetta, I might try this out
But After trying the Demo of Heavenly Sword and Enslaved. I just hope they focus more on gameplay than story and Graphics

Tyler Rosenlund scored a hat trick Saturday to propel the men's soccer team to a 3-2 win over Northwestern in an NCAA quarterfinal match. As a result, the Gauchos will advance to the College Cup in St. Louis to take on Wake Forest Dec. 1 in the semifinals.
Rosenlund, who missed UCSB's first eight matches of the season due to a foot injury, had one goal entering the game against Northwestern.
The junior midfielder from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia put the Gauchos up 1-0 at the 9:20 mark before the Wildcats tallied two straight goals to take a 2-1 advantage just prior to halftime. Rosenlund scored the game-winner at 47:07 and completed the hat trick with another goal at 62:22.
It was the first hat trick of the season by any Gaucho player.
With nine wins in its last 10 matches, UCSB heads to its second College Cup in the last three years. Joining the Gauchos and Demon Deacons will be UCLA and Virginia.

The urea cycle is a sequence of chemical reactions that takes place in liver cells. The reactions remove ammonia from the blood and convert it into urea. Ammonia is a natural by-product of the metabolism of proteins from our diet and from the normal turnover of proteins in our cells. Urea can then be passed out of the body in the urine. The urea cycle also produces an amino acid called arginine.
A specific chemical, or enzyme, is responsible for each of the reactions that make up the urea cycle. The cycle also relies on a 'co-factor', or compound that one of the enzymes needs to be able to carry out its reaction.
In urea cycle disorders one of the enzymes within the cycle is not working properly or the co-factor is not available. As a result, ammonia cannot be converted into urea and ammonia levels in the body will begin to rise ("hyperammonemia"). Ammonia can then reach the brain through the blood, where it can cause irreversible brain damage, coma and/or death.
Genes contain the instructions for how to make each of the enzymes and the co-factors of the urea cycle. Therefore, the urea cycle disorders are a group of genetic disorders. The estimated incidence of UCDs is 1 in 30,000 births. UCDs occur in all racial and ethnic backgrounds.
The different urea cycle disorders are named for the part of the cycle that is not working properly. For example, if the enzyme carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) is not working, the urea cycle disorder is "CPS1 deficiency" or "carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency". A list of the classic urea cycle disorders and the genes associated with them is below.
|Urea Cycle Disorder
|Alternate Name
|Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency
|Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency
|Argininosuccinic acid synthetase deficiency
|Citrullinemia type 1
|Argininosuccinic acid lyase deficiency
|Argininosuccinic Aciduria
|Arginase deficiency
|N-acetylglutamate synthetase deficiency
The UCDs are caused by mutations (or alterations) in the genes that tell our cells how to make the enzymes and the co-factor of the urea cycle. A mutation causes a gene to not function at all or not to function as well as it should. Most often these altered genes are inherited from parent(s), but they may also occur spontaneously.
When discussing how genetic conditions are passed on in a family, it is important to understand that we have two copies of most genes, with one copy inherited from our mother and one copy inherited from our father. This is not the case for the genes that are on our sex chromosomes (the "X" and "Y" chromosomes). These are different in men and women: men have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, while women have two X chromosomes. Because men have only one X chromosome they have only one copy of each of the genes on the X chromosome, while women have two copies. A father passes on his X chromosome to all of his daughters and his Y chromosome to all of his sons. A mother passes on one of her X chromosomes to each of her children.
These UCDs are inherited or passed on in an autosomal recessive pattern. 'Autosomal' means that males and females are equally likely to inherit the disorder and 'recessive' means that both copies of the relevant gene are altered. Most often, the affected person has inherited one copy of the altered gene from their mother and the other from their father. In this case, the parents are "carriers" of the disorder, meaning that they have one altered copy and one working copy of the gene; carriers of autosomal recessive UCDs do not show signs and symptoms of the disorder.
OTC deficiency is inherited in an X-linked pattern. The OTC gene is on the X chromosome and, as noted above, males have only one copy of this gene while females have two copies of the gene. Males are usually more severely affected than females because they do not have a second working copy of the OTC gene. Some female "carriers" of OTC deficiency (who have one working copy and one altered copy of the OTC gene) have some signs and symptoms of the disorder; this is unlike the carriers of the autosomal recessive UCDs who are asymptomatic.
A male with OTC deficiency may have inherited an altered OTC gene from his mother (in which case his mother is a carrier who may or may not have symptoms of the disorder herself) or the OTC gene mutation may have occurred spontaneously in him (in which case he is the first one in the family to have the mutation). A female with OTC deficiency may have inherited an altered OTC gene from either her mother or her father, or the OTC gene mutation may have occurred spontaneously in her.
The chance that someone else in the family has the same UCD as their relative depends on the inheritance pattern of the UCD, whether the at-risk family member is male or female (in the case of OTC deficiency), and the rest of the family history (how many relatives have been diagnosed with the disorder already and whether genetic testing has been performed in other relatives). In some cases the age of the at-risk family member and whether or not they have shown any signs or symptoms of the disorder is helpful in estimating the chances that they also have the disorder.
We recommend talking to your metabolic specialist and/or genetic counselor to determine those relatives who may be at risk for having a UCD and for coordination of genetic testing, when appropriate. We are happy to talk with you about this.
UCDs can be diagnosed in newborns, children, or young adults. In general, the earlier someone develops symptoms of a UCD, the more severe their disorder. The severity of symptoms is generally based (1) the position of the defective enzyme within the urea cycle (the beginning vs. the end of the cycle) and (2) whether or not there is any functional enzyme or co-factor being produced. However, other environmental and genetic factors may play a role in determining the severity of symptoms for a given patient.
Severe deficiency (a complete lack) of any one of the first four enzymes in the urea cycle (CPS1, OTC, ASS and ASL) or the co-factor (NAGS) generally causes a rapid onset of symptoms related to hyperammonemia in the first few days of life. The symptoms may not be present until after a newborn goes home from the hospital and may not be recognized by the parents or primary care provider. Initial symptoms due to rising ammonia levels are generally not specific to UCDs and can include seizures, vomiting, loss of appetite/inability to eat, altered breathing (abnormally slow and/or shallow or abnormally fast and/or deep breathing), sluggishness, low core body temperature, abnormal posturing and coma. If untreated, a severe UCD will ultimately lead to death.
Individuals who have a mild or moderate UCD due to partial enzyme or co-factor deficiency may not be diagnosed until childhood or later. The specific gene alteration(s) dictates whether or not some functional enzyme or co-factor is still being produced. All of the UCDs may therefore occur in a mild or moderate form. Symptoms due to mild elevations in ammonia, often triggered by illness or stress at any age, include failure to thrive, loss of appetite, avoidance of high-protein foods, cyclical vomiting, lethargy and behavioral problems. Diagnosis and treatment are critically important for patients with mild or moderate UCDs because ammonia levels may rise enough to cause permanent brain damage, coma and death. Deficiency of arginase (the 5th enzyme in the cycle) is marked by mostly neurologic symptoms. For reasons that are not clearly understood, patients with ARG deficiency are less likely to develop hyperammonemia than other UCD patients.
In a symptomatic patient, the diagnosis of a UCD is based on clinical and biochemical data and review of family history. In some cases, genetic testing may also be used to reach a diagnosis.
Newborn screening in some states includes testing for ASS1 deficiency (Citrullinemia) and ASL deficiency. Some cases of ARG1 deficiency may be detected on newborn screening.
Genetic testing is available for all classic urea cycle disorders. In almost all cases, the first person in the family to have genetic testing should be someone who has received a clinical diagnosis of a UCD. Carrier and diagnostic testing can then be offered to other relatives, including in a prenatal setting.
Treatment of UCDs can be tailored to the specific disorder once a diagnosis is made. In general, the goals of treatment for a patient who is acutely ill with symptoms of hyperammonemia are to (1) quickly lower the ammonia concentration via some form of dialysis, (2) block the production of additional ammonia by use of intravenous and oral medications, (3) carefully manage the patient's diet to limit excess nitrogen (a key component of ammonia) by balancing the calories delivered by protein, carbohydrate and fat, and (4) reduce the risk of neurologic damage through the use of IV fluids and cardiac monitoring.
In a UCD patient who is not currently symptomatic, a restricted diet that includes specialized formulas and medications is used to minimize future hyperammonemic episodes that may be triggered by eating too much protein. It is also very important to minimize the risk of illnesses and other stressors that can cause the body to break down the proteins within cells. Recommendations therefore include immunizations against respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses, other usual immunizations, and multivitamin and fluoride supplementation.
A doctor who specializes in metabolic disorders should see patients with UCDs on a regular basis. Severely affected patients will likely be seen on a more frequent basis than mild or moderately affected patients.
Unfortunately there is currently no cure for any of the UCDs. Ongoing research is focused on treatment for UCDs and on better understanding the natural history and mechanisms that underlie these disorders.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Coe College scored 33 unanswered points to end the game, as the 18th-ranked Kohawks rolled Simpson 47-7 in a game between the only remaining unbeaten teams in the Iowa Conference.
While the Kohawks were on cruise control most of the game, senior Jared McNutt (Warren, Ill./Warren) made NCAA Division III history for the second time this year. Earlier in the year, McNutt and freshman Mark Atwater (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Linn-Mar) tied the NCAA Division III record for the most consecutive completions. Saturday, McNutt made history of his own by completing 28-of-30 passes. His 93.3 percent is the highest completion percentage in NCAA Division III history.
After Simpson won the toss, the Kohawks took the ball and marched down the field, scoring on its first possession of the game. Coe faced just one third down on the 10 play, 72-yard drive that ended with senior Brendan Leiran's (Waukon, Iowa/Waukon) 30th career rushing touchdown from 12-yards out.
Coe forced a Simpson punt after five plays. Taking over at its own 26-yard line, the Kohawks went 79-yards on 11 plays, as Leiran scored for the second time in the game with 4:46 to play in the half. The one-yard touchdown run put Coe ahead 14-0. Just like the first drive, Coe faced just one third down, as Coe converted the first down with a 20-yard screen pass from McNutt to Leiran.
On its first possession of the second quarter, the Storm cut the Kohawk lead to 14-7 with a nine-yard touchdown pass from Taylor Nelson to Taylor Rogers. Coe put the lead back to double digits on the ensuing drive. Junior Wes Anderson(Newhall, Iowa/Benton Community) hit a 32-yard field goal with 5:11 to play in the half.
The field goal was the first of 33-straight points for the Kohawks. On the first play of the drive for Simpson, seniorFrank Weymiller (New Albin, Iowa/Waukon) sacked Nelson in the end zone, as the safety put Coe ahead 19-7. After back-to-back runs by Leiran, McNutt found senior Chase Cooling (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Xavier) for a 56-yard touchdown on third-and-one. It was the first touchdown of Coolings career.
On Simpson's ensuing drive, Weymiller forced his 13th career fumble, with junior Antoine Allen-Jackson (Aurora, Ill./Oswego East) recovering at the Storm 30-yard line. Weymiller has more forced fumbles in his career than any player currently playing at any NCAA level of football. It took just four plays for Leiran to score his third touchdown of the half, as Coe went ahead 33-7 with 1:51 to go in the half. Simpson would go three-and-out on the next drive, but Coe would not attempt to score again in the half.
Neither team could get anything going in the third quarter, but Coe scored right away in the fourth quarter. On the second play of the quarter, sophomore Colin Ferring (Waukon, Iowa/Waukon) scored from six-yards out, as Coe went ahead 40-7.
Simpson's next drive was ended by an interception by Demetreus Johnson (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Kennedy). On Coe's next possession, the Kohawks went 35-yards on six plays, capped by Ferrings first career reception, a 10-yard touchdown from McNutt.
Coe held a 31-16 advantage in first downs, while outgaining the Storm 556-335. Simpson had averaged over 170 yards rushing the last two weeks, but the Kohawk defense held the Storm to 28 yards on the ground. Coe also held a 37:32 to 22:28 advantage in time of possession.
Leiran led Coe's ground attack with 155 yards on 27 carries with three touchdowns. Junior Carvin Thompson (Dallas, Texas/Life Charter) added 40 yards on 10 carries. Leiran became the seventh player with 30 or more touchdowns in his career.
McNutt was 28-of-30 passing for 302 yards. He set career-highs in passing yards and completions. It was the 28th 300-yard game in school history, while his 28 completions were the third most in school history. McNutt became the 17th player with 100 completions in a season in school history.
Senior Kris Hopkins (Keokuk, Iowa/Keokuk) had a team-high eight receptions for 63 yards. Senior Jared Kuehner (Center Point, Iowa/Center Point-Urbana) had six receptions for 35 yards, while junior Keaton Juergens (Elkader, Iowa/Central Elkader) tied a career-high with five receptions for 67 yards. Senior Jacob Workman (Chadwick, Ill./Milledgeville) had four receptions for 31 yards, while Leiran caught three passes for 40 yards.
Senior Zach West (Tiffin, Iowa/Clear Creek-Amana) and senior Bryce Sampson (Roland, Iowa/Roland-Story) led the defense with six tackles apiece. West had a sack and two tackles for loss, while Sampson had a tackle for loss. JuniorJordan Atwater (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Linn-Mar) had five tackles, while junior Mitch Montgomery (Lisbon, Iowa/Lisbon), sophomore Dustin Elsbury (Byron, Ill./Byron) and junior Dylan Youel (Traer, Iowa/North Tama) each had four tackles. Weymiller finished with two sacks and two tackles for loss with his forced fumble. He now has 29.5 sacks and 46 tackles for loss in his career.

DUE WEST, S.C. – It's not always how you start a game, but how you finish in conference play. The King University women's basketball team trailed for most of their Conference Carolinas opener at Erskine College, but they overcame an 11 point second half deficit to escape with a narrow 64-61 win.
Whitney Mitchell gave King (3-2, 1-0 CC) their first lead since 12:31 of the first half when she hit a jump shot giving the Tornado a 54-53 lead with just under five minutes remaining in the game. Bonnie Durrett followed with a jump shot to stretch the lead to 56-53 and force an Erskine timeout. However, the Flying Fleet (2-4, 0-1 CC) answered with a three-point basket to even the score.
Tia Keitt hit a free throw to give the lead back to King, but Erskine answered with a jumper to put the Flying Fleet back ahead. The lead didn't live long though as Durrett drilled a jump shot on King's next possession to regain the lead for the Tornado. Keitt hit two more free throws, and Sydney Harris hit one to give King a little breathing room as they led 62-58 with just 33 seconds left.
However, Kristin Giles hit a three-point basket with 20 seconds left, and Erskine took a timeout. Out of the timeout, the Flying Fleet got a steal, but missed a shot from the middle of the lane. Chelsea Bowling came up with the rebound and got fouled with one second remaining. The junior nailed both free throws to seal the 64-61 King victory.
The second half started with a Durrett jumper, but the Flying Fleet answered with eight straight points to extend the lead to 38-27. After both teams traded baskets, Reazyn DeMoss sparked a King run with a jump shot. Alley Sprouse followed with a jump shot, and Harris capped the 6-0 run with another jumper to pull King within 40-35 with just under 15 minutes left.
Erskine stretched their lead back to nine points at 44-35 before the Tornado went on another run. Whitney Mitchell started the spurt with a jump shot and Harris followed with a pair of free throws. Durrett pulled King within two at 46-44 with a pair of free throws, but the Flying Fleet answered with a bucket to extend the lead.
In the first half, Kelly Jackson and Durrett sparked the Tornado offense as the knocked down back-to-back jumpers to open the game. Durrett followed with a three-point basket to give King a 7-0 lead just over two minutes into the game.
However, the Flying Fleet answered with six straight points to get back into the contest. Harris stretched the King lead back to 10-6 with a free throw and jumper before Erskine continued their run. Ashley Mull nailed a triple to pull the Flying Fleet within one and Haleigh Spaulding converted a free throw to even the score at 10.
Rosa Powell made a three-point basket and Andrienne Bannerman hit a jumper to give Erskine a 15-10 lead with 11:22 left in the first half. Kristin Giles capped the 18-5 run with a jump shot that gave the Flying Fleet an 18-12 lead halfway through the first frame.
King later trailed 25-17, but the cut into the deficit late in the half as Harris made a jump shot with less than two minutes remaining to make the halftime score 30-25 in favor of Erskine. King shot 32.0 percent from the floor in the first half while Erskine shot just 27.8 percent from the floor in the frame.
Durrett led King with her fourth straight double-double, scoring 19 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. Harris followed with 16 points while Harper snared eight rebounds.
The Tornado return home on Saturday when they host rival Lees-McRae College at the Student Center Complex. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

Annual community-wide service to be held March 29 at Stuttgart stage.
The Grand Prairie Ministerial Alliance will feature its annual "Show Down at Calvary: The Seven Last Words of Christ" at noon Friday, March 29, at the Stuttgart stage.
It is the third year a Good Friday Service has been held in Stuttgart. Dr. Sam Roberts, of the alliance, said the worship service would include various pastors giving a brief message on each of the seven words and special music.
A good will offering will be collected for the Inter-Church Community Ministry (ICCM) Food Bank.
Pastor Glenn Larsen, of the alliance, said "one very unique item in this service is a liturgical dance by a member of one of our supporting congregations who interprets a hymn concerning the suffering of Christ."
The dance by Lorie Johnson of Victors' Empowerment Center is "a very moving part of the service," Larsen said.
The Grand Prairie Ministerial Alliance consists of area pastors who come together to serve the community as a whole. Their work also includes hosting a monthly community prayer as well as a local National Day of Prayer.
The Ministerial Alliance began sponsoring the event two years ago after a member pastor suggested starting a Good Friday worship service at the stage on Main Street.
"The Ministerial Alliance bought the idea, and this pastor (who is no longer in the community, unfortunately) sought ideas and we arrived at the plan to share the seven words of Christ uttered while He hung on the cross," Larsen said. "Since that time we have continued this service, which has a wide support from area churches and to which all members of the community may feel welcome and invited."
Larsen said 13 churches are participating in the hour-long worship service. Last year, Roberts said there were about 60-75 residents in attendance. About 120 residents attended in 2011.
In the event of rain, the worship service will be held at First Presbyterian Church, 120 W. 7th St, instead.

NORTON, Mass. – MIT scored four unanswered runs en route to a 4-2 win over host Wheaton College in game one of a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) softball doubleheader on Friday afternoon. The Engineers overcame an early 2-0 deficit to win their second straight conference game. The Lyons salvaged a split in game two as the Cardinal and Gray improved to 4-13 overall and 2-2 in conference play.
After falling behind 2-0 in the opener before freshman Kelly Wang (La Canada, Calif.) homered with one out in the fifth to cut the lead in half. The Engineers completed the comeback with three runs in the top of the seventh to earn their first win over Wheaton since 1994.
After Wang reached on an error to lead off the inning, she moved up on a sacrifice and then reached third on junior Emily Creedon's (Stoneham, Mass.) base-hit, the first of four straight singles by Tech. A single by senior Katie Harrington (Lexington, Ky.) scored Wang and, two batters later, senior Jessica Iacobucci (Phoenixville, Pa.) drove in Creedon. Junior Leah Alpert (Needham, Mass.) then brought Harrington to the plate with a fielder's choice.
Freshman Karly McLaughlin (Edwarsville, Ill.) closed out the game in the bottom of the seventh, getting a pair of fly outs and a groundout for her first save of the season.
Iacobucci earned her second win of the campaign, allowing two runs on seven hits over six innings while striking out four.
In game two, the Lyons scored runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings en route to a 3-0 win to overcome the early setback. Freshman Ellie Fodor (Trenton, Mich.) took the loss for MIT, surrendering three runs on six hits over six innings.

Ezra's Modern Cottage Nursery
Name: Ezra (1 month)
Location: Clovis, California
This room is TINY! Eighty-five square feet to be exact. This room used to be a loft and is right next to Stella and Olivia's room that is also undergoing a transformation to a big girl's room.
I tried to keep the room colorful, cozy, and feeling larger than it actually is. My main inspirations were Louie's nursery on Everything I Love and Daphne's Glamorous Nursery on Apartment Therapy.
I fell in love with the Anthropologie artist rug and the use of black and white stripes. The rug was no longer available (and WAY out of my budget), so I created a similar feeling with the painting that hangs next to the crib. I already had most of the things found in this room - it was just a matter of repurposing them or making them.
Thanks, Erin! Readers, for more photos and a complete list of sources visit Erin Loves Earl.

President Obama vowed Monday to use the power of his office to stop mass shootings, but was hazy on specifics. Will he? Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut called for the restoration of the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California vowed to introduce a bill doing just that in 2013. Will this happen? Just over half of Americans polled support banning semiautomatic handguns. And a majority support a nationwide ban on high-capacity ammunition clips. But Congress has not followed suit with legislation. Will the Newtown massacre change lawmakers' minds? What's your view?

Felix Gray: Computer Glasses for a New Generation
Are you one of the 43 percent of Americans who spend most of the day in front of a computer? Well, it's likely not just the political climate that's giving you a headache as you scroll through the day's news or the dozens of emails infiltrating your Inbox.
If you've experienced eye fatigue, dry eyes, headaches or blurred vision, you might be suffering from the effects of overexposure to the artificial light emitted from your digital devices, particularly high-energy blue light and screen glare. But it's not all bad news. A portion of blue light on the spectrum is actually a good thing. What's a fashion-savvy computer user to do? Fortunately, Felix Gray has arrived.
The brainchild of David Roger and Chris Benedict, two entrepreneurial millennials who were starting to feel the strain of staring at computer monitors for 12+ hours a day as financial analysts.
"We started Felix Gray because we stared at computers all day, every day, and we felt the negative effects," says Roger. "Many of our friends and colleagues shared similar sentiments. We kept questioning why a popular solution didn't already exist. So we created Felix Gray with the idea of marrying fashion with function to create a beautiful and effective pair of computer glasses."
After a year of research, development and setting up a supply chain, the duo began beta-testing the glasses in front of more than 1,000 professionals across teach and finance companies in New York and the results were promising - the majority of participants had experienced symptoms of Digital Eye Strain and were looking for an elegant solution.
Eye Protection X 3
Felix Gray glasses protect your eyes in three different ways:
Blue Light Filtration
Blue light exists on the farthest, highest end of the visible light spectrum. What does that mean? We all know ultraviolet (UV) light is damaging and blue light is its neighbor on the spectrum. And it's not just computers. With the advancement of LED technology, which has escalated dramatically due to its energy efficiency, now blue light is being emitted from everyday bulbs throughout your home and work environment.
With potential symptoms such as digital eye strain, macular degeneration and poor sleep, one of the best solutions is computer glasses. Felix Gray's proprietary lenses filter blue light without compromising on style by utilizing a naturally occurring eye pigment and synthesizing it in higher volume. This is combined with other materials to create a clear lens.
Glare Reduction
Do you have digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome? It's not just that you're bored at your desk job - this is legit! And although we can't take the heat for your two-hour lunch breaks, we can recommend computer glasses with an anti-reflective (AR) coating.
According to Felix Gray, AR lenses "virtually eliminate glare by allowing more light and less artificial feedback directly into your eye from a single angle. This optimizes visual acuity, which means you can see more clearly and with less stress on the eye's ciliary muscles."
Tip: if you're going to work after hours, don't do it in the dark - regardless of what sites you might be surfing! Keep the lights on while you're in front of the computer to reduce glare.
Optional Magnification
Felix Gray glasses are non-prescription, but for those workhorses who rarely look away from the computer or enjoy settling in for a long read on a tablet device or picking up a good old-fashioned book (remember those?), magnified lenses (ranging from +.25 to +2.5) are also available.
Style and Substance
Felix Gray elevates their frames by paying tribute to some of the world's most inspiring scientists and advancers of technology and handcrafting each from premium Italian acetate:
Turing - Round shape and barrel hinges, named after Alan Turing, the "godfather of modern day computer science."
Nash - Square frames with a signature keyhole bridge, named after John Nash, Nobel Prize-winning economist and mathematician.
Faraday - A wider, square lens, named after Michael Faraday, who conducted some of the earliest research on electromagnetism.
Roebling - A sophisticated, circular shaped, named after Emily Roebling, who supervised the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Jemison - Classic 50s-style wayfarer frame, named after Mae Jemison, the first African American female to travel into space.

Maybe this has been discussed before but I could not find anything using the "Search" function.
I am currently reloading the 450 using the Hornady 250gr FTX over 38 grains of little gun and Remington 7 1/2 primers.
Does anyone have any idea how many times I should be able to reload these Hornady cases?
Any information would be appreciated.

In his blog of 22 October, 2011, Dmitri Popov writes:
"Good news for those who want to run the latest version of digiKam on Windows. The SourceForge repository now has a Windows installer of the latest digiKam version courtesy of Ananta Palani.
I tested the installer with a Windows 7 machine, it worked like a charm. While the installer makes it supremely easy to deploy digiKam on Windows, the application does have a few quirks. Most notably, the Windows version of digiKam cannot import photos directly from storage media or cameras, so you need to copy them to the hard disk using Windows' own built-in image transfer tool, and then add the transferred photos to digiKam. The Trash feature doesn't work either, but you can work around this issue by deleting photos instead of sending them to the trash. To be fair, though, these issues are not caused by digiKam itself, but are due to bugs in the underlying KDE libraries which the application relies on."

Lacanche to La Cornue: 4 Gorgeous French Ranges
These French ranges are sooo beautiful, they can make a kitchen. The design, the performance, the colors! What's not to love? In the gallery above, see a few models in real kitchens, then take a look at some of our picks after the jump:
The second pic up top is from our very own Greg's Gorgeous Renovated Kitchen. We've always admired this kitchen, with breathtaking architecture that's complimented perfectly by a Lacanche range.
The last image in the gallery above is of a kitchen complete with cabinetry designed by French range maker La Cornue. The company has recognized the love of their aesthetic and has put it into a line of cabinetry that matches their ranges.
A few of our favorite picks for French ranges are pictured below. One's a giant (we can dream, right?) and the rest would definitely be suitable for an apartment or small home kitchen:
At right, the Fontenay by Lacanche is a big daddy with a big price tag of around $11,000. We love it in this vivid yellow and it would provide more than enough room for professional cooking at home.
The Rully, also by Lacanche, is pictured at left. It's a smaller range and comes in at around $7,000.
There's also a whole line of La Cornue's ranges available for easy purchase in the U.S. at Williams-Sonoma. At right is the CornuFé by La Cornue, available at Williams-Sonoma for $8,600.
As an alternative to the full ranges, we also like the Marengo cooktop by French manufacturer Morice, at left. Also don't forget E. Caumartin, another maker of gorgeous ranges directly from France.

Let's start with Jawani Zindabad (Long Live Youth), which was unlike anything I expected. It's Aamir in his typical loverboy role, but it's also Aamir in a film that's unusually specific for its era in what message it sends, how often and how -- dowry is pernicious, and ought not to be a precondition for marriage or even in any conversation surrounding it. Don't think for a moment, however, that while the film tackles gender equality head-on, it is too serious to where it compromises on the masala fun front. It's quite the opposite, and that's where it works quite well, complete with all the hallmarks of ridiculousness exhibited by early 1990s drama.
How dramatic, you ask? How about our hero singing a different Shammi Kapoor song every time he came across a pretty woman? How about a wedding that's called off last-minute because of a song full of (rightful) taunts to the groom (the lyrics go: "Everyone proclaims! The son's a looter, the father a thief!"), and a demand for dowry followed by a stroke and this wonder woman?
Or a mom cleaning her room while others believe she's about to commit suicide? Or an ape giving a band of thieves the runaround, robbing them of a stolen necklace and returning to our hero in exchange for some goodies?
How about an Asrani not recognizing his wife (Ms. Abba Dabba Jabba) in a crowded swimming pool area because he thinks she isn't capable of flaunting her bod? Or, my favorite this, a matchmaking professional and matrimonial consultant in Kader Khan, whose dialogues are the life of the film. And I haven't even talked of a very young Javed Jaffrey, whose father, a politician, doesn't let him sleep in the same room as his wife until the her dowry is delivered in full. Or that the dowry wasn't delivered in full because the girl's brother ran away with the funds the night of the wedding! Don't worry, these aren't spoilers, there's so much more in here if you're up for it!
Valentine's Day Lesson 1: There's no such thing as a wrong time or place for expressing love, and no prompt too far-fetched.
Aamir and Farha look great together (in this version of the title song, for instance), theirs is a mature relationship with the banter of "long live youth" notwithstanding.
|So help me God!
Three stars for the film, then, which is a good example of a rather strong cast making much of not so much. It's over-the-top melodrama we're all familiar with, and it's much fun if you see it with some good company that's willing to celebrate this brand of cinema, not mock it. Mine was PituSultan -- and we had some great fun -- we agreed we miss Kader Khan more now than we did before watching this...
...and we agreed that whoever thought making him and Aamir perform a "qawwali and bhajan" at a wedding was a good idea deserves a spot in the masala Hall of Fame for the mere concept!
Movie rating: 3/5 (Not bad at all!)
Watch if you have a decent tolerance for dramatic comedy. If not, stay away. The cast make this a lot more fun than it would've been without them.
Music rating: 2.5/5 (Average)
Choreography in songs I cannot find online is good, we know Javed Jaffrey can dance, and my hometown South Bombay, including the roadway mentioned most often on this blog, is featured in the second version of the title song -- that can only be a win!
My classification: PG (For some violence)
This delightful Marathi-language film is not a Bollywood film, but it has as much to do with it as can possibly be. Based on the true story of the first motion picture made in India and its visionary who went on to make nearly 100 films through his career, it's set in early twentieth-century Bombay. Its subject is Dadasaheb Phalke (Nandu Madhav) -- read more about him at this Wikipedia link -- gives up on his printing business and owns a quest to do what's never been done. He wants to make the country's first full-length feature film, which appears insurmountable and for which he must make immense sacrifices. Thankfully for him (and for us), he has complete support from his family, as his wife and children aid him at every step to help realize his dream and lay the foundations for the country that now produces the highest number of films of any country in the world.
|Wouldn't it be cool to go into a tent theater?!
Oh what a sheer joy this film written and directed by Paresh Mokashi is from start to finish! We see the practice of filmmaking come to life as Phalke, a fast decision-maker, goes from learning to use filming equipment to selling off almost everything he has to visit England to buy his own equipment.
He films his children playing. He films a plant growing. He films himself massaging his wife's feet, in what he says is a subservient act that needs to be popularized as one women deserve. He plots a Raja Harishchandra play-turned-film, and goes through every step of the filmmaking supply chain, from writing to casting, directing, learning and teaching, taking notes of his discoveries along the way, ensuring those close to him are bitten by the film bug.
|Western words/styles garner more attention. Hmm...
It's full of some fine actors and simple characters with surprisingly nuanced approaches to their work. It employs a narrative style which offers a fair reflection of that of the majority of the films originating from the country, films we love. It has more than its share of humor, when making it more of a documentary could have been tempting. Its unsung hero is its background score. And it's hardly fiction. *What* else do we need, as we pay tribute to the "Father of Indian Cinema"? How beautiful a film, indeed!
Movie rating: 4.5/5 (Excellent!)
Don't miss it for anything else on TV or your DVD shelf. I haven't smiled this much while consuming a film in a long time.
My classification: G (Family-friendly)
Official website:
Valentine's Day Lesson 3: Teaching how the solar system works can be sexy if just the right rotations and the right Physics terms are used.
Valentine's Day Lesson 5: Don't fall in love with your lender.
Valentine's Day Lesson 7: Don't *always* offer advice to those you love. You're a lover, not a parent.
Valentine's Day Lesson 8: Ms. Abba Dabba Jabba is still around! :D
Valentine's Day Lesson 9: She's so humble, she refuses to see the connection between Tabuliciousness and chocolate. 0:)
Valentine's Day Lesson 10: India: Just rid yourself of the dowry pandemic. Just do it. For love of Tabu and Aamir!
I'm probably being harsher because it stars Tabu, but this is at best a decent attempt, and could've been much more entertaining.
'Phir Se' by Sonu Nigam (YouTube link here) and by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (YouTube link here) in two different tracks is the one outstanding song in this album composed by Pritam Chakrobarty. Rest are average fare.

In the very distant future artificial intelligence (AI) will be so common in technology that even a single pixel of an image file may be controlled by its very own AI. In Pixel: ru² you play as one of these pixels inside of a computer system that has been infected by a virus of unknown origins. You will have to navigate around image files as you try to stop the virus and save the computer system that you are a part of.
Navigating around the image files won't be an easy task. Not only will you have other pixels that have been infected with the virus trying to attack you, but you will also have some complicated platforming to do that involves manipulating gravity on yourself and other objects. You will also need to change your color to get passed barriers and use different color ammo to fight off the pixels that are trying to stop you.
Pixel: ru² will also include a level editor for creating and sharing your own levels with other people. The level editor is simple enough that anyone can make a level by just dragging and dropping blocks, but it also offers complex options like a logic system that allows users to do more advanced stuff.

Rotten Zucchinis—The Zine
Have you ever had a relationship with your zucchini or a queerplatonic (QP) partnership end or go horribly wrong?
So many of us in the ace world have been doing our important relationships without any road maps or "how-to" guides—these relationships aren't romantic relationships, but they aren't typical friendships either. And we've been fighting for years to get our friends, families and communities to take these relationships seriously. (Especially when we're also queer, and/or trans* and/or non-binary and/or agender.)
We finally have some language to talk about these "non-normative" relationships existing... queerplantonic partners and zucchinis. What's more, we can make sense of them in a polyaffectionate framework if we want to. And we can resist compulsory sexuality, question why so many people use "enthusiastic consent" as a weapon, and recognise that anti-asexual violence is real.
But we don't have the tools to talk about when our "non-normative" relationships end or go wrong. Too often we don't even have the space to admit that sometimes they do.
Rotten Zucchinis is a zine for people's stories about QPs, Zucchinis and "non-normative" relationships that don't end in happily ever after—the not-so-pretty stories I don't see people sharing yet. And yes, that's political.
Some optional guiding questions:
-- How do you talk about a former zucchini? (As "ex" after a "break-up" or is other stuff going on? And how do you tell people what you are now?) And what other language do we still need to create or change?
-- What does zucchini violence or QP abuse look like, and what are some stories of people who've survived it?
-- How do the problems we have with our zucchinis play out with other parts of our identities and lives in a social context of power and oppression (like patriarchy or White supremacy)? And how does compulsory sexuality matter?
-- When it comes to zucchinis, QPs and non-normative relationships, what do we still need to keep quiet about... and why?
I welcome any submissions (credited as you like or anonymous) that can be formatted onto regular letter-sized printer paper—words or images of some ilk... essays, rants, poems, artwork, pictures, fears, semi-coherent ramblings and so on.
Please e-mail contributions or questions/comments to: email@example.com
Deadline for contributions is April 15, 2014, but extensions are possible if you give me a heads up.
(I really want to have this zine printed by the asexual conference in Toronto in June 2014.)
Please feel free to re-post or pass along this call for submissions.

I'm not really sure what you mean. (Maybe because I never go in fashion stores.)
Anyway, it seems that people aren't ready yet to talk about zucchini violence, so this zine has ended up being something a lot more broad-- stuff that people feel silenced about in asexual/ace community spaces-- and deadline extended to May 15.

NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — The Newport Folk Festival has kicked off three days of music to a sold-out crowd.
The festival began Friday with a lineup that includes Ryan Adams, Jimmy Cliff and Band of Horses, along with some lesser-known acts including Rhode Island-based Death Vessel.
It continues Saturday and Sunday with Jack White, Mavis Staples and other acts.
This year will be the first since the death in January of folk singer and banjo player Pete Seeger, who helped start the festival 55 years ago. He was involved in it until he died.
Seeger's legacy will be honored with a special program called For Pete's Sake, which will feature performances and workshops by a...

Hurricanes are stressful for everyone, but new research suggests that they may have surprising and worrisome effects on pregnant women. According to a working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research, women who lived near the path of a tropical storm or hurricane during their pregnancy were likelier to experience complications during childbirth.
Plus: Amazing Hospital Staff Saves NICU Babies
Janet Currie of Princeton University and Maya Rossin Slater of Columbia University studied Texas birth records from 1996 to 2008 to see whether a mother's stress levels would have an effect on pregnancy. The researchers argued that stress was the most significant side-effect of living through a storm. But while they did not find a relationship between living through a stressful event and gestation or birth weight, they did discover that mothers who lived within 19 miles of a hurricane path during their third trimester were 60% more likely to have a newborn with health complications and 30% more likely to have complications during labor or delivery.
Plus: Maternal Death and Complications Rising: Are Unhealthy Moms to Blame?
Newborns were more likely to have health complications if their mothers were in the first or third trimester at the time of the hurricane. These complications include meconium aspiration syndrome—a condition in which a newborn breathes in a mixture of stool and amniotic fluid during delivery—and being on a ventilator for more than 30 minutes. Experiencing a storm during the second trimester did not have any apparent impact on a newborn's health.
Were you pregnant during a hurricane? Did you experience any complications during childbirth? Leave a comment and let us know.

Steelers bring back CB William Gay
PITTSBURGH (AP) — William Gay is heading back to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The veteran cornerback has agreed to a three-year deal with Pittsburgh, a move that should give the Steelers some insurance if unrestricted free agent Keenan Lewis decides to play elsewhere. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The 28-year-old Gay spent the first five seasons of his career in Pittsburgh before signing with the Arizona Cardinals last spring. Gay had two interceptions for the Cardinals, starting 15 of 16 games. He added three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery while playing for a defense that finished fifth in the league in yards allowed in the air.
Gay thrived while playing as a nickel back for the Steelers in 2011, finishing with two interceptions, a career-high 14 passes defensed and two fumble recoveries. He parlayed his success into a two-year, $4.95 million contract with the Cardinals, who released him last week to clear space under the salary cap.
Gay didn't waste time finding a new job. Though the return to Pittsburgh wasn't official until Monday, he started spreading the news Sunday night, changing his Twitter bio hours before the deal was officially announced.
The signing gives the Steelers a backup plan if they can't retain Lewis. The 26-year-old was spectacular at times in 2012, his long arms making him Pittsburgh's best cover cornerback. He also managed to stay healthy, a feat in a secondary pockmarked by injuries to star Troy Polamalu and mainstay Ike Taylor.
Lewis seemed open to staying in Pittsburgh, but he may have to sign a contract under market value to stick around. The Steelers have until next week to get in compliance with the salary cap and have already started making moves by reportedly restructuring the contracts of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and linebacker Lawrence Timmons, among others.

Jack-O-Lantern Tartlets Best Pie Bakeoff 2008 Entry #25
Here is the second entry from enterprising pie-baker Stephanie; she also entered the Original category with her mouthwatering peanut butter and chocolate Buckeye Pie. These tartlets also have a creative flair, and we like them very much. Read on for her recipe and why this is the best classic pie recipe she's got.
Where is this recipe from? The idea came from www.marthastewart.com. The recipes used are Cooks Illustrated's Foolproof Pie Dough and Cooks Illustrated's Best Pumpkin Pie recipe.
Why is this the BEST pie recipe you've got? Thanks to Cooks Illustrated's Best Pumpkin Pie recipe, we enjoy pumpkin pie many times a year because it's so good. This pie is creamier and smoother than any other pumpkin pie I've tried with the perfect amount of spices. I am convinced this truly is THE BEST pumpkin pie and believe everyone should make it their go-to recipe. Because of this recipe, as soon as the first fall chill arrives I'm asked to make pumpkin pie, and make several during the fall/winter seasons.
I saw this jack-o-lantern tartlet idea on www.marthastewart.com and think it's a great way to make individual desserts that will serve as place settings on our Thanksgiving day table, and my family was more than happy to do the taste testing this weekend!
Jack-O-Lantern Tartlets
1 recipe Single-Crust Foolproof Pie Dough
4 (4-inch by 3/4 inch) tartlet pans
1 egg yolk
Roll out the pie dough and cut 4 (6-inch) circles in order to fill the 4 tartlet pans. Press dough into pans and remove excess dough. Freeze pans at least 30 minutes. Use remaining dough to cut out jack-o-lantern patterns, or whatever fall themed cutouts you would like to top your tartlets with. Freeze cutouts at least 30 minutes as well.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line tartlet pans with foil and fill with pie weights. Blind bake the tartlets for 15 minutes, rotating pan once halfway through baking. Begin preparing filling, as the crusts need to be warm when the filling is added. Remove pie weights from tartlets and add warm filling.
Best Pumpkin Pie recipe from Cooks Illustrated (baking times adapted for tartlets)
Recipe available here.
Note: If you do not have a food processor, the pumpkin may be put through a food mill or forced through a fine sieve with the back of a wooden spoon. Alternatively, you can cook the pumpkin, sugar, and spices together before pureeing, then whir the mixture in a blender, adding enough of the cream called for in the recipe to permit the pumpkin to flow easily over the blades. In either case, heat the pumpkin with the (remaining) cream and milk, as indicated, then slowly whisk the mixture into the beaten eggs.
Pumpkin Filling
2 cups (16 ounces) plain pumpkin puree, canned or fresh
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup milk (I use whole milk)
4 large eggs
For filling: Process pumpkin, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a food processor fitted with steel blade for 1 minute. Transfer pumpkin mixture to a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan; bring it to a sputtering simmer over medium-high heat. Cook pumpkin, stirring constantly, until thick and shiny, about 5 minutes.
As soon as tartlet shells come out of oven, increase oven temperature to 400 degrees, whisk heavy cream and milk into pumpkin and bring to a bare simmer. Process eggs in food processor until whites and yolks are mixed, about 5 seconds. With motor running, slowly pour about half of hot pumpkin mixture through feed tube. Stop machine and scrape in remaining pumpkin. Process 30 seconds longer.
Immediately pour warm filling into hot tartlet shells. (Ladle any excess filling into tartlets after they have baked for 5 minutes or so -- by this time filling will have settled.) Bake until filling is puffed, dry-looking, and lightly cracked around edges, and center wiggles like gelatin when tartlets are gently shaken, 15-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
Remove cutouts from freezer, brush with blended egg yolk, bake at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes until golden brown. Place on top of cooled pumpkin tartlets. Serve slightly warm, room temperature, or chilled, with a dollop of whipped cream alongside.
