In a new article for The Farm Club, I preview Indianapolis Colts training camp.
The Colts enter year two of the "Andrew Luck era" after concluding a 2012 season that was equal parts exciting, emotional, and improbable.
The team had four fourth quarter comebacks and an absurdly good 9-1 record in one-score games last season. Entertaining as this was for Colts fans, these figures–particularly the latter–helped mask a number of the team's flaws. Despite finishing with an 11-5 record, Indianapolis actually posted a negative point differential, scoring 30 fewer points than they allowed.
The Colts Pythagorean record was roughly 7-9, essentially meaning they won four more games than they would be expected to win given their point differential, according to Football Outsiders.
Teams that "overachieve" in such a drastic fashion one year usually regress and post poor records in close games the following season, as Bill Barnwell of Grantland explains. On the surface, the Colts seem to be an ideal candidate for such regression, but it is worth bearing in mind the 2013 team is not the same as its 2012 incarnation. The franchise was very active in the offseason and made a number of acquisitions, including badly needed help along the offensive and defensive lines.

There's a new nasal mask in town and we think you're going to like it. Meet ResMed AirFit™ N20: it's elegant, effective and astonishingly easy to fit. Here's the lowdown.
Exceptional fit
It takes a lot of work to make something this simple. If you've ever struggled to adjust straps or get a really effective seal on your CPAP therapy mask, look no further: AirFit N20 practically fits itself thanks to clever magnetic clips and a simple process.
Outstanding design work also results in a great fit and robust seal for people of all shapes, sizes and ethnic backgrounds. Whether you inherited your grandmother's Roman nose or your grandfather's high cheekbones, any issues about the shape of your face are strictly between you and your mirror. As far as AirFit N20 is concerned, it's not about looks, it's about delivering effective sleep therapy.
Women might prefer the 'for Her' variant simply for the slightly smaller format and fashion-friendly strap design, but a great fit is standard across all versions. In fact, an international study1 showed that AirFit N20 fitted more than 99% of all patients tested thanks to the way its silicone cushion adapts to different face shapes and sizes.
All-night comfort
That advanced InfinitySeal™ silicone cushion is also crafted to ensure comfort and a reliable seal throughout the night by adjusting to your movements as you sleep. AirFit N20 delivers excellent performance with high pressure, bilevel and NIV therapies as well as standard CPAP therapy for sleep-disordered breathing. To take the comfort game up a notch, the flexible frame is seamlessly lined with plush fabric so it's soft on your skin.
CPAP is great for your health, but it can be a chore if your mask is difficult to clean or gets in the way of favourite activities. The people who designed the AirFit N20 wanted to eliminate as many of those negatives as possible. Thanks to extensive user testing and thoughtful engineering, this new mask provides stability, minimal facial contact, unrestricted vision, and simple, hassle-free cleaning. In short, with AirFit N20, you can see more and do more while wearing your mask and enjoying the benefits of therapy.
Top marks
It all adds up to a great experience, and that's been confirmed by user studies. For example, one recent study2 found that 88% of patients find AirFit N20 more comfortable and easier to use than the current market-leading nasal mask and that 92% prefer wearing AirFit N20. Optimal fit, comfort and freedom and a design that redefines simplicity: what are you waiting for?
1. ResMed AirFit N20 internal global fitting study of 159 existing ResMed patients, conducted 12/11/2015; ID A3697629.
2. ResMed internal study of 24 existing ResMed patients, conducted between 23/11/2015 - 21/12/2015 comparing the market leading mask with AirFit N20; ID A3695085.

'Riverdale' stars Luke Perry, Madelaine Petsch, Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart join writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa at SiriusXM's Entertainment Weekly Radio Channel Broadcasts From Comic-Con 2016. (Photo : Getty Images/Vivien Killilea)
"Riverdale" episode 12 finally saw the murder mystery unfold. Although it has been revealed that Clifford Blossom did indeed kill Jason, there are still a lot of questions left unanswered. What was the motive behind Clifford killing his own son? And why did he take his own life? With only one more episode left in Season 1, the mystery continues envelope the now dark town of Riverdale.
FP Jones is still in police custody. Although he didn't kill Jason, he is still being investigated for his involvement in the crime. He also falsely confessed to the murder, and it appears Sheriff Keller isn't so keen in listening to Jughead's statement that his father was threatened by Clifford Blossom himself.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, "Riverdale" showrunner Robert Aguirre-Sacasa revealed that he was choosing among three murders, and decided on Clifford Blossom near the second half of the season.
FP Jones, Hal Cooper and Hiram Lodge were on the list of possible murders, Sacasa revealed. These two characters They were also among viewers' bets and even the characters looked at them as potential culprits behind Jason's murder.
"When we were thinking about the show and what the show was - and the show is on some level a deconstruction of the Archie myth that everything is safe, that everyone is good, that parents protect their children, that fundamentally the world is a good place - it felt like the ultimate subversion to that," Sacasa explained. "The darkest, most taboo thing we could do, is a parent killing a child."
With Clifford dead and guilty of killing his own son, the Blossoms continue their downward spiral. Cheryl, in particular, will have an even shocking story in the season finale. She's already in the worst, darkest time of her life, and will only continue to go bad.
As for Polly, the question remains if whether she has found peace in knowing who killed Jason. She also knows now that she and Jason are relatives.
Meanwhile, Hiram Lodge will make his first appearance on the show in "Riverdale" Season 2. According to TVLine, actor Mark Consuelos is playing the role in the upcoming season.

I never thought that I'd say that this course, or any super hilly course for that matter, was fun. But it was! I threw this race into the mix as a training race after doing some solid biking and tri stuff this week. I didn't think that I would have the legs to handle the hills, but I did. Nutrition-wise, I felt like it was spot on and probably will do an expanded caloric intake of this "menu" for the longer races.
"Good Athlete No Donut" things that I executed pre-race
First of all IT WAS A WINE/ALCOHOL FREE WEEK (minus a glass-shocking, I know)
Weight 3.8# above race weight (we triathletes like to be exact in these figures; god forbid that I was a whoppin' 4# over……my day would have been shot…I would have been crying…. LOL….kidding)
Food (Note 8:00 a.m. race start)
5:15 a.m. 1.5 GF English Muffins with 2 tsp Earth Balance fakey buttery spread sprinkled with sea salt. What can I say, I like my salt.
Large coffee with Soy Milk
6:45 a.m. 2 bananas; 1/2 Kombucha 2000
7:45 a.m. Vega Energy Gel-Orange
Mile 6.5 (whatever time that was) Vega Energy Gel-Orange
Note: Vega Energy Gels are really good—a 100 calorie mush of dates, chia, coconut oil and orange. The only problem is that the packaging is stiffer than most. I angle the shoulders onto a bias (scissors required) so the packet doesn't cut the sides of my mouth when slurping it down.
Post Race
- 1 Kombucha (GT Synergy Ginger Flavor)
- 10 Mary's GF Crackers (these are the friggin' bomb)
- 1/2 cup of Vegan Quinoa Chili (race provided, thanks Hash House Harriers)
- Within 1 hour Vega Recovery-based Smoothie with Chia Seeds
Race Notes: My goal was to negative split the race and I did (probably because mile 2-3 is a straight uphill). My friend, Nate Kredich, ran by me at mile one. He was dressed in a grey top and shorts. I told him that he looked like a naval vessel and struck up a brief conversation with him before he pulled ahead to an eventual sub 1:30. I was able to hold a conversational pace until the end when this uphill "magically" appeared out of nowhere for the entire last mile. I almost caught a girl in my age group, but the hill kicked in (and I didn't) and she put 10 seconds on me. Oh well. My zippy HERevolution teammate, Gina Correll, had a whopping 6 minute PR on the course and it was a great showing by the "almost" Grand Master's women as I think we were all in the top 10 overall. Yay Cougars!
Time: 1:34xx
Lotsa fun; glad to be out racing again; off to see Dan Selstad tomorrow for a little Achilles love!

This project is from the book, LoomCrafts with Knifty Knitter by Shannon Erling - Afgan Shawl. My version is using Bernat Softee Baby Yarn and I chose to change colors - why? Because I never changed colors before and thought the soft stripes would add interest to this project. Will I wear it as a shawl out and about? - well no, my better fashion sense tells me this will be used around the house on chilly nights here in front of the computer; it matches my pj's perfectly.

My title says everything. I am damned tired. Finally, I found a new place after a few weeks waiting for another apartment which was supposed to be empty by middle of April but so sad...it didn't....I know I would've loved it there. Even though it's empty and I need to buy stuff to make it more homey. Found other new place last week. I admit I'm not that thrilled cos I'm still hoping that I get the other apartment. Yesterday was filled with cleaning the apartment a bit, moving stuff and pasting the wallpaper (my sister's idea). Thank you Anni for helping me out with the mopping.
I'll post pics of the new place later on. Till' then.

changed my power supply from a 300 to 400psu.. now my pc restats everytime the windows logo appears
We need more information.
What are your system specs?
What make and model power supply did you remove?
What make and model power supply did you purchase?
What are the detailed specs on the new power supply (not just wattage but all of the Amperage specs at the different voltages)?
Why did you change it?
Was there an apparent problem you were trying to solve?
Are you running the stock graphics or did you add/change the graphics card?
What card?
Do you get any warning or errors?
Are you sure you plugged everything in? Correctly?
Did you ground yourself from static before touching any internal components?
Did you need to (or accidentally) move, remove, or shift any other component?
Are you sure everything is seated properly?
Did you remove or shift any heat sinks even slightly?
Post back all answers and details for any kind of answer to your question.
You should have posted in the hardware forum... Don't be surprised if it is moved.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Going from a 300W to a 400W isn't necessarily an upgrade, especially if the 300W was a good quality unit & the 400W is a cheap no-name piece of junk. Of course, you told us absolutely nothing about your system or the PSUs so we have no idea what's going on.
Just swapping in a different power supply shouldn't cause those symptoms. Is it possible you messed something up while inside the case?
Also, if the new power supply has a 115/230 voltage switch make sure it's in the correct position. DON'T GUESS. And if you need to change it make sure the power cord is disconnected when you do it.
Oman, answer all of fingers questions.

On Tuesday Sept. 30, well over 500 guests joined Auberle at Stage AE for the 10th Annual Voices Carry fundraiser presented by Huntington Bank. This event is one of the most unique rock concert fundraisers held here in Pittsburgh. The event helps support the at-risk children and families Auberle serves. The event featured over 20 well-known Pittsburgh musicians who donated their talent to raise funds for Auberle by performing original music as well as a slew of great cover songs.
Since 1952, Auberle has been dedicated to community, strong families and successful youth. Auberle serves thousands at-risk children and families annually in eight counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. Today, Auberle offers 16 programs including preventative and community-based services, with 60% of their clients served in their home, school or in their community. Auberle's services include residential care, foster care, emergency shelter, in-home intervention, education, workforce development, drug and alcohol and mental health programs. Auberle was named Agency of the Year in the United States by the Alliance for Children and Families, the largest network of human services organizations in the United States.
The 10th Annual Voices Carry was emceed by WDVE morning show host, Randy Baumann. Event performers included Donnie Iris, Scott Blasey, Zig Daniels, Chris Higbee, Billy Price, Kelsey Friday, Joe Grushecky and many more. Prior to the musical entertainment, and throughout the evening, Comedian Magician Lee Terbosic could be found wowing people with many of his amazing tricks. Cards, cash and smartphones were among the props he used while dazzling the onlookers. There were also appearances by Penguins mascot Iceberg, as well as Steely McBeem and the Washington Wild Thing.
The festivities began with an introduction by Derek Bayer of Equity Resources, Inc. and a welcome from Huntington Bank's Regional President, Susie Shipley. Then the extravaganza began the way a lot of Pittsburgh sports fans are used to – Jeff Jimerson and the National Anthem.
Next up Randy Baumann put an "Auberle" twist on the Beatles hit Yesterday, and the hits – they kept a comin'. Sandy Dowe was next on stage followed by Madi Jay Lapre, Melinda Colaizzi and Vanessa Campagna all taking their turns at sharing their amazing voices with the crowd-filled room. Joe Woodarek of The Stickers graced the crowd with a wonderful rendition of 'Halleluja' before Jill West really got the crowd rockin' with her amazing blues and electric attitude. Zig Daniels, lead singer of the Delaneys was up next. Upon taking the stage he said "This is the loudest song you're gonna hear all night". Zig ripped through Guns & Roses' 'Sweet Child o' Mine' with his broad vocal range and great guitar skills. Speaking of guitar skills, there was another guitarist on stage for this song and pretty much every other song as well. The Pittsburgh music legend Rick Witkowski was on top of his game all evening with showing his amazing chops that we've enjoyed over a span of four decades.
Just before a short video about how Auberle helps children and their families, he Gathering Field's Bill Deasy performed his song 'Lost in America', the title track of the band's 1996 debut album. After the video Randy Baumann came back to the stage for a special treat. New to this year's event was a live auction of an authentic boxing glove autographed by Southpaw star Jake Gyllenhaal and Director Antoine Fuqua. As the bidding climbed all the way to $1,000 Randy revealed that there were actually two gloves, giving both the winning bidder and the next highest bidder awesome prizes to take home.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled program… Billy Price, Sputzy and Sabrina DeMatteo were the next three performers to wow the crowd which had already begun to leave their tables to come closer to the stage and dance the night away. Scott Blasey and Kelsey Friday sang a duet of 'Stop Dragging My Heart Around' right before Chris Higbee cranked things up with his fiddle on 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia'. Jeff Jimerson returned to the stage next to sing 'Higher Ground' which is where this successful evening had put Auberle with a whopping $130, 827 that was raised. Scott Blasey came back to the stage along with Joe Grushecky who provided some great guitar on two Clarks songs 'Cigarette' and 'Better Off Without You'.
After another short video on Auberle, Joe Grushecky rocked out for two songs before King Cool himself – Donnie Iris stepped into the spotlight and rocked the roof off of Stage AE with back to back hits, 'Love is Like a Rock' and 'Ah Leah'. Following the likes of Iris, Blasey and Grushecky is no small task, but Mark Matteo did not disappoint with his amazing vocals on the Styx hit 'Renegade' as the stage started filling with almost all of the previously mentioned performers who joined in on the fun. Closing out the night was the All Star Jam where a stage full of celebrities that donated their time and talents rocked out for three more songs that had the crowd singing and dancing up until the final note was played.
Overall, the 10th Annual Voices Carry fundraiser was a huge success and a lot of fun. A great evening filled with great entertainment at an amazing venue – and all for a wonderful cause. We are looking forward to the 11th annual event next year.

Яппаньки вам,уважаем(ый)(ая)(ое)!
He sighed with relief. He could find a place of contentment and solitude on this moon, a place where he could think of family and home while he studied to be a Jedi.
As the late-afternoon sunlight slanted through the thick branches, a distant glint caught Lowbacca's eye. He wondered what it could be. It was not the color of any vegetation or temple ruins. The light reflected from a shiny and evenly shaped object stuck partway up a tree. Lowie leaned forward, as if that could help him see more clearly. He wished he had brought a pair of macrobinoculars.
Curiosity and wonder struck a spark of excitement in him. He wanted to get closer, but caution intervened. It was getting dark. And after all, if the object was important, wouldn't someone have seen it long ago? Perhaps not. He doubted it could be seen from the jungle floor, and it was unlikely that many students came out and climbed to the top of the canopy, this far away from the Great Temple. He was almost certain that no one knew about this discovery.
Heart pounding, Lowie made a mental note of the shiny object's location. He would come back the very first chance he got-he had to find out what it was.
"I wonder why Lowie never made it to evening meal," Jacen said. Jaina and Tenel Ka sat next to him in the grand audience chamber, where Luke Skywalker had summoned them all for a special announcement. Dusk light shone like burning metal through the narrow windows overhead, but the clean white glowpanels dispelled shadows in the large, echoing room.
"Maybe he was having too much fun flying his T-23," Jaina whispered. "I probably wouldn't have made it back either."
"Perhaps," Tenel Ka said in a low voice, as if giving the matter serious consideration, "he was not hungry."
Jacen flashed her a look

Diversity In London
Chosen Theme:
As a group we chose the subject "Diversity in London" because it illustrates London at its best we wanted to tell the story of how multicultural London is by undertaking interviews with people and having conversations with them where they will hare their experiences of multi cultural London with us. We would also be focusing on people that are not originally from Britain and their story of how they came to the UK and how it is to live and settle in a country that you were not born in. The main focus for our project is to film around certain parts of London to show the different types of communities and cultures that live there and how they have adapted to living in these areas and if it has affected their day to day lives.
We looked at certain films and documentaries about Diversity In London one of them being a short documentary made by a student from cambridge university as the documentary itself had the same subject matter so therefore was worth watching it to find information on how we could start our own one
From this documentary we gained a perspective on where we would do our filming and how we would edit our final video.
We also looked at different films that relate to multiculturalism in London such as "Miracle in Soho" and "Dirty Pretty Things"Stephen Frears the director of the film is fascinated by the multicultural side of London and how immigrants live in London. [1]

Elephant & Castle
In the 1900s to the 1930s Elephant &Castle was the main location for a thriving shopping centre and was known as "The Piccadilly Circus" of South London. The area has recently had a reputation for successful ethnic diversity and centrality. Elephant & Castle is now subject to a master- planned redevelopment budgeted at £1.5 billion [2] The area is also known for its huge Latin American.population which is constantly growing every year and Latin Residents are also taking part in the regeneration project and plans are being made to build new shops and homes to transform it in to a "Latin American Corridor" The Elephant & Castle shopping centre also has a lot of shops and restaurants which have and sell products that are from Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica and Argentina to name a few.

Brixton's identity has changed enormously over time, as during the 1920s it was South London's shopping capital and in to the 1950s it became home to immigrants from the West Indies and In the 1980s it was well known for its many riots. But today it has become one of London's trendiest places to live. The area itself has slowly undergone a process of gentrification since the 1990s and has resulted In many wealthy middle-class individuals taking advantage of the areas location and thriving Bohemian art scene, and in the 1980s Brixton developed into a major shopping centre and now the famous Brixton market sells a range of African American products as well as products from Asia.

Filming Day 1:
On our first day of filming me, Deborah and Oceane went to Brixton in South London where it is mostly known for its black community and we went there to interview people on how they have grown up in a multicultural city as London. When we got there we didn't find it hard to find people and we managed to interview around 5 people so it was a good start and we were happy that so many people were willing to participate in our documentary. For our filming we used the Sony X70 video camera and it was quite massive and as a group we did not know how to use it properly so we had to quicky look up some tutorials of the camera on YouTube and after that we learned the basics of how to operate the camera.

I was over 40 when I made my first turned wood piece. Prior to that I had done some wood carving, metal fabrication, lost wax casting, weaving, and painting (while my employment kept me in offices, or coffee shops). I had also worked on a production metal lathe – though my first woodturning teacherfound that irrelevant to the process of wood turning. During a marquetryworkshop just prior to that, I asked the instructor if he had done any turning. He replied that he had not, as everyone he knew who started turning abandoned all other woodworking approaches. This was a bit prophetic in that the lathe is addictive. I do still visit the bandsaw and carving tools for fun. As turning is a subtractive process, it lends itself to creating by letting the object come out of the material, as in carving. Within the constraints of the functionality of the item, I aim to produce a simple, pleasing form that displays the inherent beauty of the particular piece of wood. I used little to no embellishment, preferring the natural colors of the wood. Most of my work is "spindle" turning, as opposed to bowl turning. With this technique, highly figured woods result in particularly intriguing patterns.

Dried salted Codfish, is known as, baccala. This past weekend a nearby village called Montelparo, is famous in our parts for their Baccala Festival. I have been going for the past 6 years. Sometimes up in the village, but most of the time with the same group of friends, to a very special Agriturismo called
Fonte di Sant' Andrea.
Here we have a day of lunch, 5 hours of delicious baccala cooked to many different ways. I personally am not a lover of baccala but here the way they cook it is absolutely delicious. But this year I had my doubts when we arrived, because the entrance had been cave-in from the heavy snow this passed week. There was a shoveled out path to the door and when we entered we were greeted ever so warmly and taken to our table/area, we were 13 friends this year.
Here in Italy you eat in courses. So first were the appetizers, divine fried olives stuffed with baccala and some fried pieces as well. Then there was my favorite. A crostini topped with stewed purple cabbage, seasoned baccala and bacon. Then came something not so pretty but was very tasty. A mixture of baccala and steamed broccoli that was then baked and served in squares, like fudge brownies.Next a cold dish\salad, baccala, celery, potatoes and olives. Then came a dish i did not like because i am not a lover of radicchio (too bitter for me) but for those who are a lover of this vegetable. this was an eye-rolling experience for them. The radicchio was cooked with grapes and sliced pear, then topped with a mixture of baccala, onions and tomatoes. Next was the seasoned chickpeas with baccala and fennel, very yummy.
First courses,
Polenta topped with baccala in tomato sauce and sweet onions. I would have had another plate of this but then i would not have had, anymore room in my tummy. Then tagliatelle with a tomato and baccala sauce topped with parsley, another thumbs up.
Second course
Was baked baccala with fennel and rosemary and a boiled baccala. There was a vote taken of which one was better the baked or boiled. It was a tie, with one person who loved both. In fact I could not get a photo of these, because everyone just dove into the plates and finished it all, hahaha.
Last but not least was dessert, tiramisu & an espresso, that I devoured. Only after, looking at my empty plate did I think to take a photo, oops.
Here is their information and this meal of Baccala ,they serve year round. But you have to let them know in advance. Everything here is prepared fresh and they do the shopping and preparation just for you. they also have 5 rooms and a pool for the summer months.
I hope you enjoyed!

Enter Steinmart. Things started well. Grant was even helpful. Off he went to the toy section and let me shop in peace. For about 5 minutes. Then he brings me something ridiculous.
Me: No, Grant. Not that, pick something else.
Grant: But I'll NEVER get anything Ever again. Stomp stomp stomp........(Shop-aholics should really try shopping with a 4 yr old. It would totally break them).
I found him sitting in a toy basket, pouting. We had to leave. Apparently there is *Nothing* at Steinmart, so you really shouldn't even go there.
Fast forward to Michael's Craft store, two doors down. This is where the title of today's blog comes into play. I felt bad, so I said, look, we can go here and you find one toy. He lit up. Great. Problem solved. Off we went.
Are you aware of the all the stuff of Michael's? I couldn't even suggest something. It was a nightmare. After my last threat of WE ARE LEAVING RIGHT NOW, he finally decided on something.
A tube of plastic Knights and Dragons. With swords. $6.99. Fine.
And here's my SWEET angel 2 hours later:

Forever Amber and other red hot historical reads
I noticed quite a bit of buzz lately about Sourcebooks putting out a good number of reprints of Georgette Heyer titles,with some lovely covers that tempt even an overloaded reader like me to scoop some of those stories. I've never had the pleasure of reading Heyer but it did get me to thinking about Forever Amber,which I may give a reread this summer.
The first copy of Forever Amber that I owned was a mass market paperback with the front cover neatly torn off(this was before my book selling days,so I didn't recognize the numerous salvaged from a book store's trash copies of books that popped up at a dozen yard sales in my neighborhood at the time)and while I throughly enjoyed the story,I did long for a proper edition of the adventures of Amber St. Clare(is that a great name for a historical heroine or what?). A couple of years ago,I was able to get myself a nice British reissue(which was also released in the US)with an introduction by Barbara Taylor Bradford.
Forever Amber may seem to be pretty tame now,but it was the literary Basic Instinct of it's day. The book was banned in several states when it first came out in 1944 and condemned by religious groups for discussing such topics as illegitimate pregnancy,abortion and "women undressing in front of men"(how did they think those ladies got pregnant in the first place,thru osmosis?). That didn't stop the sales of the book,Forever Amber was one of the biggest bestsellers of the 1940s.
Hollywood made a film version of it that was released in 1947 but it's a very watered down depiction of the book,with numerous changes to make Amber look more a nice girl as appeasement to straight laced folks in the audience.
One of the reasons that I liked Amber St. Clare so much is that she reminded me a lot of Scarlett O'Hara;both of them do have much in common. They are women who are torn between fitting into the cultural cookie cutter place that society insists upon them and yet wind up defying all of those social conventions when it suits them.
Both of them fall in love with unavailable men(for Amber,it's more of an emotional abandonment combined with social snobbery while Scarlett's in full pursuit of a married man)and soundly reject those who can really return their love.
Scarlett and Amber also have to flee from fires(Amber,The Great Fire of London,Scarlett,the burning of Atlanta)with the help of their men of the moment. Another major connection between the ladies is their unflagging selfishness and willingness to go to any means to achieve their goals in life. You could debate which one is worse and the circumstances that each one had to deal with(Restoration England,The American Civil War)but both of these gals have blood on their hands and would need a good defense lawyer if caught.
Scarlett would have a better chance of getting off,due to being able to declare self defense, but Amber's street savvy might lead her to finding a way out of such a mess.
The likability factor for both of them is pretty sketchy; after my second reading of GWTW,I couldn't help but think that Scarlett was a total bitch. A third reading helped me to gain a little more perspective and appreciate that some of her over the top attitude was necessary to survive the aftermath of the war and the changing new world around her. Amber was a hardy little survivor,too,but not so much concerned with being perceived as a "great lady" like Scarlett was,which may have given her a few less complexes and a sturdier backbone.
I don't know if any of Heyer's heroines are as spicy as Amber and Scarlett(her books have been recommended as appropriate for Jane Austen fans) but there is a huge novel set during the battle of Waterloo that looks enticing,An Infamous Army. The leading lady here is a widow,Lady Barbara Childe,who has flung off the traditions of mourning and has become quite the party girl,since she never loved her arranged marriage husband in the first place.
A member of the Duke of Wellington's staff falls madly in love with her and impulsively asks her to marry him,even tho he's well aware of her bad reputation. Lady Barbara says yes(mainly because she finds his attentions amusing)to his proposal but still keeps up her wild ways. Sounds like Amber and Scarlett would fit right with Lady Barbara to me. Now,if they could all team up with one more deviously like minded gal(Mary Crawford from Mansfield Park,perhaps?),I bet they would give those Sex and the City chicks a real run for their money.
Well,whether I get my hands on An Infamous Army or plunge like a low cut neckline into Forever Amber,one thing is for certain: when it comes to gorgeous guilty pleasure reads,the British are the best. I know that the author of Forever Amber was an American but you wouldn't know it from reading that book,folks. Maybe it's just my own personal preference but there's just a special spark that English writers have for certain genres that make them much more fun. I don't think I'm alone in this,I really don't:

I've been hearing good things about Georgette Heyer lately but I'm ashamed to admit that I had never even heard of her until all the buzz started.

Weekend Box Office: Oz Proves Great, Powerful and Finally Gives 2013 a Hit
By Chris Kavan - 03/10/13 at 08:33 PM CT
Ding dong the box office blues are dead... at least for one weekend. Thanks to a fantasy spectacle, 2013 managed to beat the same weekend in 2012 by 7%. While that's not a huge victory - any victory is welcome given that out of the 30 films that have had wide releases in theaters this year - 16 of them have failed to hit the $10 million mark. Hopefully this will be the start of a trend and not a blip.
With a reported $215 million budget, a lot was riding on Oz having a monster debut. With $80.28 million, it looks like taking a trip over the rainbow for a prequel was a good move. It's easily the top debut for any film in 2013 (topping Identity Thief's $34.6 million) and represents the third-best opening for any film opening in March - and sixth-best for any movie outside the summer months. Although billed as a family-friendly PG film, audiences were mostly maid up of couples (43%) rather than families (41%). It earned a B+ from those who watched it, meaning it should have no trouble staying on or near the top in coming weeks and a $200 million gross should be in the cards. Although it couldn't boast nearly the poser of Alice in Wonderland, which opened with $116.1 million, it still has to be seen as a great opening.
Unsurprisingly, given direct competition from Oz the other big-budget CGI spectacle took a massive 63% blow (the largest for any film in the top 10) and took in $10.02 million raising its total to $43.8 million. In comparison, John Carter fell 55% in its second weekend - ultimately Jack should wind up with less than $60 million if it follows the same course. I don't like throwing the word "bomb" around lightly, but even if international grosses help it out some, you can't say this movie is anything but a disaster.
The comedy keeps chugging along just fine, adding another $6.32 million to its total that now stands at $116.5 million. Although it won't be able to say it's the highest-grossing film of 2013 for very much longer, the fact remains it has performed above and beyond expectations and director Seth Gordon (along with Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy) should be nothing but happy with the results.
Another week, another disappointing action film debut. Even with Noomi Rapace reteaming with director Niels Arden Oplev and the addition of Colin Ferrell and Terrence Howard, the film could only muster $5.35 million. That is ahead of Bullet to the Head ($4.55 million) but behind The Last Stand ($6.3 million) in terms of opening numbers. It will join those films in being yet another disappointing action-oriented film.
Rounding out the top five is another one of those ubiquitous action films. Dwayne Johnson's Snitch brought in $5.1 million, bringing its total to $31.8 million over three weeks. Considering the vast amount of misses that action films have been throwing out this year, even that low number can be seen as a "win" given the film is not part of any franchise.
Outside the top five: not much to report other than the limited release Emperor brought in a nice $1.04 million at just 260 locations for a decent $4,012 average.
Next week's offering include the comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone - the dueling magician film featuring Steve Carell, Jim Carrey, Olivia Wilde, Steve Buscemi and Alan Arkin amongst others and The Call, a thriller with Halle Berry trying to help a young woman (Abigail Breslin) who has been kidnapped. I fully expect Oz to repeat as the week's top film.

Deleting the allegedly false information from the affidavit for search warrant leaving it as a "corrected" affidavit under Franks, there still was a fair probability for probable cause. That there might be other explanations doesn't undermine probable cause. Therefore, defendants have qualified immunity. Ganek v. Leibowitz, 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 20226 (2d Cir. Oct. 17, 2017):
In short, the mere possibility that Ganek unwittingly traded on inside information cannot defeat the probable cause to search Ganek's office that is evident from the totality of the corrected affidavit. See, e.g., Fabrikant v. French, 691 F.3d 193, 216 (2d Cir. 2012) (observing that innocent explanation consistent with facts alleged does not negate probable cause). Nor can Ganek persuasively argue that "the suspected criminal activity of a few [other] employees" was all that "justified an absolute and complete rummaging search of anyone who interacted with them." Appellee's Br. 34. As noted, Ganek himself committed the actus reus element of insider trading. When one considers that fact, particularly in light of circumstantial evidence making Ganek's culpable mens rea fairly probable, the corrected affidavit establishes probable cause to search Ganek's office for evidence of his own criminal conduct as well as for that of Adondakis and others at LG involved in insider trading.
We reach this conclusion, moreover, as a matter of law because there can be no genuine dispute as to a reasonable judicial officer issuing the challenged search warrant upon review of the corrected affidavit. See Smith v. Edwards, 175 F.3d at 106; Velardi v. Walsh, 40 F.3d at 574; Soares v. Connecticut, 8 F.3d at 920-21. Assuming that such a warrant issuance question might arise where the credibility of certain evidence (e.g., from a source with a motive to lie), or the sufficiency of corroboration (e.g., for an anonymous tip) informs a probable cause determination, see McColley v. Cty. of Rensselaer, 740 F.3d at 824-26, that is not this case. The corrected affidavit cleanly deletes the alleged misrepresentation (that Adondakis disclosed the inside source of information to Ganek) and adds a correction (that Adondakis made no such disclosure). Presented with that corrected affidavit, a reasonable judicial officer who weighed the totality of facts in the corrected affidavit could only find probable cause established. The district court erred in concluding otherwise. See Walczyk v. Rio, 496 F.3d at 158.

Wildlife & Uplands
Our Wildlife and Uplands program works to promote healthy ecosystems and preserve the "working landscape" in the Big Hole River watershed through habitat conservation, invasive species management, wildlife conflict resolution, and community education & outreach.
- Maintain habitat connectivity and migration corridors to benefit wildlife.
- Support ranching, maintenance of open space, and land stewardship.
- Manage invasive species through treatment, prevention, and education.
- Prevent predator-livestock conflicts.
- Conserve, improve, and restore upland and sagebrush habitats.
- Support voluntary action and improvement over regulatory enforcement.
- Provide education and outreach regarding relevant wildlife & habitat topics.
The Big Hole watershed is home to abundant wildlife species, including large game, predators, and migratory birds.
A primary land use and occupation in the Big Hole is cattle ranching, and livestock producers often lease grazing allotments from the United States Forest Service. This proximity of livestock to wildlife can result in livestock predation. Although recent grizzly bear sighting have been reported in our watershed, to-date the majority of livestock predation is caused by wolves. Wolves and wolf/livestock interactions are of concern to livestock producers in our area, as confirmed wolf depredations have been documented in the past. Positive identification of livestock kills on public land has often been lacking due to remote, rugged terrain and rapid consumption by wolves or other scavenging species after a predation occurs.
Wildlife CONFLICT RESOLUTION
In response to public concern regarding wildlife issues in the Big Hole watershed, the Big Hole Watershed Committee formed a wildlife subcommittee in November 2008 to discuss wildlife management issues. The group is led by ranchers and invites solutions from all sides of wildlife issues. The wildlife subcommittee is led by Jim Hagenbarth, Co-Chair of the Big Hole Watershed Committee and rancher. An initiative of the wildlife subcommittee focuses on solutions to reduce conflict between predators and ranchers and is led by Dean Peterson, board member of the Big Hole Watershed Committee and rancher. Tana Nulph, BHWC Conservation Programs Coordinator, manages the committee's wildlife programs and grants.

tag heuer Monaco replica has a rule that they can't do anything like other brands - a policy that, for the most part, they are pretty good at sticking to. With this newest and third iteration of the Horological Machine No. 5 (HM5), they created a black-cased watch, not with a black coating over metal, but with a novel material they like to call "CarbonMacrolon." Thus, we have a dark version of the 1970s sports car inspired "driver's watch," paired with cool purple accents.
The tag heuer Formula 1 replica is one of my favorite Horological Machines. In addition to being amongst the most affordable (really not saying much), it is also amongst the most wearable. A driver's watch, in the traditional sense, allowed the wearer to read the time at a glance from the side of their watch, with their hands on a steering wheel. The concept is probably about 100 years old, in some form or another, and while it doesn't necessarily apply today, the idea is interesting. I am not sure when the wedge-style driver's watch came about, but the design has led to an interesting "wearing experience" that is probably at its apex with the Horological http://www.syrauto.com/tag-heuer-aquaracer-replica-uk.html (originally nicknamed "On The Road Again").
One of the most interesting things about the watch is the louvre system on the top of the case. A small lever allows the wearer to open and close the shutters, letting in light. This light charges the lume on the discs that display the time, so that you can read the time more easily in the dark. The discs are actually horizontal, but the time is displayed vertically, thanks to a "prism" that bends and magnifies the image for your reading pleasure. It is a neat effect, and to my knowledge, no one has done this better than MB&F. The purple color in the MB&F HM5 CarbonMacrolon happens to look pretty cool as well.
So what is CarbonMacrolon? Well, first of all, the main case of this version of the HM5 is not in metal. CarbonMacrolon is based on Makrolon, a fancy polycarbonate material invented by Bayer years ago. MB&F worked to create a unique version of it by mixing a black Makrolon polycarbonate with carbon nanotubes (something we are seeing a lot in various forms of exotic high-end watchmaking from brands such as Richard Mille). According MB&F, the result is an extremely dense and durable polycarbonate which is as strong as steel, and can be polished like steel. Furthermore, because the substrate material is also black, wear and tear on the case will not cause the black coating to wear off, as is possible with watches with a PVD coating, for example.
I will have to offer more of an opinion regarding the CarbonMacrolon material in the future, when I am able to get a hands-on impression of it. What I can say is that, while it is easy to dismiss some of these exotic polycarbonates as "mere plastics," that is only technically true. The variety of resins and polycarbonates now available means that there are significant differences between standard consumer plastics and some of the more interesting industrial or exotic materials now being tested by high-end watch brands. However, unlike materials such as gold or other precious metals, I don't think the consumer is able to understand their value as well.

An Open Letter to Independent Music Online
Patrick Hefner's Editorial on the recent fuss on Bob Schrag's university lectures being sold online via his companies Independent Music Online service illustrates several false assumptions about content ownership, intellectual property, and the whole mess we are in right now.
The editorial is surprisingly reactionary. It uses the tried and true "The Man Has Got to Be Paid" argument, ignoring the fact that in this case the "The Man" has been paid. Schrag's lectures have been paid for by the students that paid to take his course. His salary has been paid by the university. He is simply repackaging: taking content that he has already been paid to deliver, and creating derivative work that he then sells, splitting the profit between himself and a third party entity.
There is much lost in this thread. Mr. Hefner never acknowledges the tradition that is contrary to that of commercial music publication, which is the tradition of scholarly publication, peer review. Much of what we enjoy as accessibile knowledge, what is taught in our schools, the words that we use to describe our world, are essentially in the domain of public. It is almost arcane to think of these things as belonging to some sort of artificial hierarchy based on the economic model that knowledge is a restricted commodity, and thus should be priced accordingly.
His examples are, to put it mildly, lame. Throwing out judgement calls such as "evil money" is an attempt to blur the argument. I for one am not arguing whether we should all become communists, capitalists or something else. I am talking about pragmatism.
Here we are again -- but someone has to be paid! The author of a book, that tirelessly does research, takes painstaking notes, this person should of course derive benefit from their work.
I am not denying that. What I am saying that in this case, the author has already been paid.
IF Dr. Bob Schrag decides to produce a television series in his own spare time, hires production people, and pays their salaries, well -- he should be able to sell this work.
However, that is not the arrangement he is in now. He is abusing a system that allowed a great amount of latitude in how faculty use their intellectual pursuits to further their career. Many faculty write textbooks, of course derived from their experience in teaching the subject matter. The faculty are allowed to do this.
What is happening here is simply abuse of that privelege. Nothing more. It has nothing at all to do with justifying a business model. It has nothing to do with the University wanting to split the profits. In fact, this bit of insight on the part of Mr. Hefner shows how ensnared he is in one way of thinking of the world, how limited his view of the world is.
By the way, I just love the OpenOffice.Org ad at the bottom of the page listing Dr. Schrag's lectures. But wait -- how can that work! They are giving the software and source code away for free! That simply can't be right!

About Burk Moreland
Burk's professional success grew quickly out of his love for the home-building industry and his motivation to learn whatever he needed to move his company forward. His unique ability to identify people's strengths and cultivate talent contributed to the personal development of those he worked with as well as the overall success of the business. This skill so informed Burk's passion for his own career, it became the basis for his coaching practice.
"I thought I loved building homes; I discovered I like building homes, but I love building companies and people."
His goals in business were first, to be the youngest manager at the large company he worked for, and then, to own his own company by the age of 34. He accomplished both. He became known as a rainmaker because of his penchant for finding people who were not in the homebuilding industry but had the right attitude about customers, work, and team, and developing them into leaders.
From city to city, he built teams that set records for revenue, customer satisfaction, and profitability.
A key to success is allowing your team members to do what they do well, then figure out a way to prop up the areas they struggle in. Don't force the proverbial square peg into a round hole; put the square peg in the square hole and find another peg for the round one.

MANATEE -- A former Bradenton private investigator working in Virginia has been discovered shot to death and stuffed in the trunk of his car.
Arthur "Greg" Brown, 50, whose father started Robert H. Brown Private Investigation in Bradenton in 1968, was found Sunday morning at the Valley Mall in Harrisonburg, Va., according to Mary-Hope Vass of the Harrisonburg Police Department.
The Harrisonburg Police Department began investigating the report of a missing man on March 3 when Greg Brown failed to return home, Vass said. At approximately 9:30 a.m. Sunday, police received a tip with information on the location of Brown's gray Honda Accord and found it in a parking lot.
Brown's body was found inside of the vehicle. The exact cause of death will be determined by the Medical Examiner. "Our thoughts are first with the friends and family of Greg Brown during this difficult time," said Vass who is also the department's crime analyst. "We will not stop with this investigation until we have all of the facts of the case before us."The Harrisonburg Police Department, which is located about two hours from Washington, D.C., and Richmond, is looking for Ali Abid, 49, of Weyers Cave, Va. It is believed that Ali Abid was the last person in contact with Brown, Vass said. At the time of his death, Brown was working an infidelity case.
Police: Private Investigator Shot; Source Says Harrisonburg Victim Scheduled To Serve Divorce Papers. HARRISONBURG - A Harrisonburg private investigator who turned up dead in the trunk of his 2007 Honda Accord on Sunday in the Valley Mall parking lot died of a gunshot wound, police said Monday.
Sources close to the investigation say Greg Brown, 50, was shot sometime after he was scheduled to serve divorce papers to Ali Abid, 49, of Weyers Cave. It's unclear where the shooting took place. Brown, who owned Argus Investigative Services in Harrisonburg.
HARRISONBURG — The wife of a Weyers Cave businessman Ali Abid wanted for questioning in the slaying of a Harrisonburg private investigator claimed in February divorce papers that Ali Abid openly was having an affair and had gotten behind on his mortgage payments.
Abid, 49, is considered a potential suspect in the killing of 50-year-old Arthur "Greg" Brown, who died after being shot, according to Harrisonburg police. Following a tip, authorities found Brown's body Sunday morning in the trunk of his car, a 2007 Honda Accord that was parked at the Valley Mall in Harrisonburg on East Market Street.
On Saturday, the Harrisonburg Police Department put out a missing person's report on Brown, who hadn't been seen since Thursday and was last spotted "in the company" of Abid. At the time, Brown's disappearance was labeled suspicious. Police listed Weyers Cave, Harrisonburg and Dulles International Airport as possible locations where Brown might have been found.
Court records also show Abid was granted a concealed weapons permit in December 2009. That same year, American Express Bank in Andover, Md., was awarded a default judgment of $22,559 against Abid after he fell behind on payments, Abid is an Iraqi immigrant who came to the USA in 2001.

This past Sunday I woke up to rain. I love it when it rains! Well, I love it when it rains and I'm home. When I checked my e-mail I saw that Joy the Baker had posted a new recipe on Friday. I dig her blog! Since I had all the ingredients on hand I had to try her Brown Sugar Bacon Biscuits. Check out her recipe here.
I did make one change to the recipe in that I did not "knead" and "roll out" the dough, nor did I use a biscuit cutter, as 1) I don't own one and 2) since I wasn't kneading and rolling why use a cutter??? OK so I made three changes in total but that is it. Everything else was exactly as she wrote it. So, yeah, the biscuits turned out perfectly rustic looking, as I just grabbed a handful of dough and plopped it on the cookie sheet. They didn't look as pretty as Joy's, but they were still delicious! Soft and flakey…some sweetness hitting some taste buds with some savory hitting others….it was a nice breakfast party in my mouth!
Until next time....

WASHINGTON — File this under "politics" in "Ripley's Believe It or Not!": California Sen. Barbara Boxer, stalwart liberal and frequent antagonist of big business, sided with Republicans to champion a tax break for multinational corporations -- and against a majority of her own party.
Boxer attempted to attach the tax break to the economic stimulus bill, only to be shot down by fellow Democrats.
Still, the unusual, if not unprecedented, sight of Boxer drawing more votes for one of her proposals from Republicans than from members of her own party underscores a challenge facing President Obama and congressional leaders: Even in a more Democratic Congress, home-state and political needs can crack party unity and produce strange alliances.
"I do not stand here every day and endorse tax breaks," Boxer told her colleagues.
The measure she was pushing, eagerly sought by California's high-tech industry, would have temporarily cut the tax rate on overseas profits brought back into the country.
"It's something that benefits her constituents," said Dorothy Coleman of the National Assn. of Manufacturers.
Boxer, in an unusual debate with her Democratic colleagues this week, argued that the measure would generate billions of dollars to create jobs. "At a time that we want to inject dollars into this economy, those dollars are sitting offshore," she said.
