The Venn diagram of people who enjoy meatballs and people who enjoy baseball likely has a large overlap, and Russian designer Vladimir Luzin's meatball packaging concept capitalizes on that shared passion. The design features a baseball theme, banking on the fact that the summertime sport is likely to engender a fair amount of grilling during the warm months.
Beyond the connection between meatballs on the grill and baseball on the diamond during the summer, the term "meatball" is itself slang that anyone who's played competitive baseball will be familiar with. The fastball is a pitch with very little movement, so when a fastball pitcher loses his velocity, he starts "serving up meatballs" that are a treat for the opposing hitters.

A bill to legalize medical marijuana in New York cleared a major hurdle in Albany Tuesday as the Senate Health Committee passed the Compassionate Care Act by a slim, bipartisan vote of 9 to 8.
"This vote is an enormous milestone in our quest to bring safe and reliable medical marijuana treatment to patients all across our state," said the bill's sponsor, state Senator Diane Savino (D-Staten Island), in a statement. "Today, the Senate has taken a decisive first step in moving this legislation forward."
Savino has said she has 40 votes in the senate, including from five Republicans, which is enough for the bill to pass if it comes to the floor for a vote. Tuesday's health committee decision puts the bill one big step closer to that happening.
Last month, Savino amended the Compassionate Care Act to make it more agreeable to Republicans in the state Senate. Lohud.com reported that the new version of the bill would allow only those over 21 to smoke marijuana for medical purposes. Those under 21 would have to use alternative methods of ingesting cannabis, such as using oils. The new version also listed a specific set of illnesses for which medical marijuana could be prescribed.
The Democrat-controlled state Assembly has repeatedly passed the Compassionate Care Act, only to have it stall in the Republican-controlled Senate. Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo has previously indicated that if the bill were to pass the both the Assembly and Senate, he would sign it.

The grocery digital divide
Digital's impact on the consumer path to purchase
Digital's increasing influence on grocery is disrupting the consumer path to purchase. This shift is creating new opportunities for consumer products (CP) companies that can look beyond the in-store experience to deliver on the digital imperative.

Grocery consumer's appetite for digital is growing
2016 was a tipping point for grocery. According to our 2017 grocery digital divide survey, digital influence on grocery sales in store grew from 33 percent to 51 percent during the year, putting it on par with early adopting categories.
In fact, digital now permeates the entire consumer path to purchase, influencing awareness, selection, purchase, and loyalty:
- Find inspiration: 77 percent of consumers surveyed used digital touch points to drive awareness.
- Browse and research: 80 percent of shoppers surveyed have used a digital device to browse or research grocery products.
- Select and validate:19 percent of the time the use of digital increases grocery spending.
- Purchase and pay: Consumers who embrace digital before or during a shopping experience end up converting nine percent more frequently than those who do not use digital up to the purchase decision.
- Reconsider: 29 percent of grocery consumers surveyed try products based on online recommendations or reviews.
Looking beyond the store to bridge the grocery digital divide
Despite the growing digital influence on grocery, there's still a divide between consumer's ideal path to purchase and their current grocery shopping experience.
In comparison to 42 percent across other categories, only 33 percent of grocery shoppers believe that digital makes shopping easier. This gap suggests that there is significant growth potential for companies who can improve the digital grocery experience for consumers. The challenge lies in how to go about giving them the convenient, curated, and integrated experience they desire.
Partnerships with retailers are important for CP companies, as they can provide new opportunities to drive brand engagement and accelerate organic growth.
Delivering on the digital grocery imperative
Many companies have yet to fully engage in efforts to deliver on the new digital grocery imperative.
CP companies can transform their business models to drive brand engagement and win in today's omnichannel marketplace.
Those who can adapt to bridge the digital divide and engage customers in store, online, and via social channels stand to benefit from the growth in digital-hungry consumers. Those who don't may leave money on the table.
Look again. Explore the two-fold transformation your organization can make to deliver on the digital grocery imperative.

If it weren't so much his own fault, I'd feel deeply sorry for Mahmoud Abbas right now. A few weeks ago, the Palestinian Authority president was handily beating Hamas in the polls; now, his popularity is at a nadir. A whopping 85 percent of West Bank Palestinians approve of Hamas's performance during the current fighting with Israel, while only 13 percent approve of Abbas's performance. His own people have held stormy demonstrations denouncing him as a "traitor"; he was concerned enough to send his wife and grandchildren to Jordan for safety. And what heinous crime did he commit to merit this opprobrium? He urged Hamas to accept an immediate cease-fire in Gaza in order to save Palestinian lives.
In short, Abbas forgot the ironclad rule of Palestinian politics: Taking Israeli lives is always more popular that saving Palestinian lives. The martyrdom culture Palestinian political and religious leaders have nurtured for generations means that even if a war kills far more Palestinians than Israelis, waging it "restores their feeling of human dignity," as one former PA official said last week. And while Abbas didn't create this culture, he has not only made no effort to wean his people off it in almost 10 years as PA president; he has actively reinforced it. Day in and day out, he has told his people that those who murder Israelis are the Palestinians' greatest heroes, the model every Palestinian should strive to emulate.
On May 31, 2012, for instance, he presided over an official state ceremony to honor 91 terrorists whose bodies had just been returned by Israel. Collectively, these terrorists killed over 100 Israeli civilians; many were suicide bombers. As Abbas laid wreaths on their coffins, the secretary-general of his office and the PA-appointed mufti both gave eulogies saying the souls of the deceased were urging other Palestinians to "follow in their path."
That's one example out of hundreds; here's some more from the last few months: In June, Abbas awarded the order of merit to the planner of several deadly suicide bombings, "in appreciation of his role in the struggle and his commitment to defending the Palestinian people." In May, at a ceremony honoring another man responsible for several deadly attacks on Israeli civilians, Abbas's representative declared, "Our Martyrs and prisoners will remain the beacon of our magnificent glory … We must be loyal to these heroes in all aspects." In February, Abbas awarded the Star of Honor to yet another terrorist responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli civilians.
Under his leadership, the PA has named city squares, summer camps, and sports tournaments after terrorists; its official television station has broadcast videos and programs glorifying terrorism; his Fatah party has handed out candy to celebrate terror attacks and exalted terrorists as role models on its Facebook page; and much more.
In every possible way, Abbas has told his people for 10 years that the true heroes, the ones to be emulated, are those who kill Israelis, whatever the cost. And it's worked so well that now, when he tries to tell them shooting rockets at Israel isn't worth the price in Palestinian lives, they denounce him as a traitor.
So yesterday, he gave up. After days of trying to prevent Israeli-Palestinian clashes in the West Bank, he let his Fatah party organize a violent demonstration in which some 10,000 Palestinians threw rocks and firebombs at Israeli police guarding the main checkpoint into Jerusalem, thereby producing yet more martyrs for the Palestinian cause: one Palestinian killed and 200 injured, three of them critically. That, after all, is what the Palestinians wanted.
And that's also why Abbas never has and never will sign a peace agreement with Israel. You can't sign an agreement ending the conflict when your own people denounce you as a traitor even for trying to arrange a cease-fire. And you can't persuade your people to accept such an agreement as long as they consider saving Palestinian lives lower priority than taking Israeli ones.

140 Years Ago, Winchester, Illinois
In the Scott County Circuit Court, October Term, A.D. 1874
The People of Illinois vs
Lewis Maddox and Wm Maddox etal
Indict. for Murder
Oct 30th. Jury sworn to try issue, against Lewis Maddox, defendant arraigned and pleads not guilty.
Murder at Mauvaisterre Creek
How did an ordinary farmer come to kill his father, have his name splashed on newspapers all over the midwestern United States and fuel family legends that persist to this day? Did the jury make the right decision? There are no surviving transcripts of the trial, but we can read the evidence presented to the grand jury.
As we meet each family member over the next few months, bear in mind that there is a family history of alcoholism, especially in the 19th century. Our Native American heritage left our ancestors unable to metabolize alcohol. My great-grandmother, niece of Lewis, claimed to have one-eighth Native American blood. That would have made Lewis one-quarter and his father, the victim, as much as one-half. There is no proof to date of these claims; however, the oral tradition lives on in several diverse branches of the Maddox family.
Meet the Killer
Lewis (Louis) Maddox was born in Pickaway County, Ohio, in December, 1846, to William Maddox and Nancy Jane Webb. His oldest brother, John, had died as a toddler. The next oldest brother was David and several siblings followed Lewis. This birth order made Lewis a middle child, while the death of John left behind the enduring promise of a perfect child that his living siblings could never achieve.
In about 1853, the family moved to Scott County, Illinois, living on a 270-acre farm adjoining a deep bend of Mauvaisterre Creek. Lewis worked on the farm and attended school, according to the 1860 census.
As a middle child, Lewis likely would have lived and died an obscure farmer, if not for the Civil War. When his older brother David enlisted at age 19, Lewis tagged along. He claimed his age as 18, though in the summer of 1862, he would have been only 15. If his birth was actually in 1845, which is possible, he would have been 16. Nonetheless, he was underage. Did he want the enlistment bounty money, the excitement of war or just to escape the drudgery of the farm?
The muster roll for Company F, 129th Illinois Infantry, shows that Lewis was 5 foot 6 inches, with black eyes, dark hair and a dark complexion. Later documentation shows him as taller, so he had not yet had his final growth spurt. No man is ever prepared for the horrors of war, but a 15-year-old is even less so.
The 129th served first in Kentucky and Tennessee, engaging in skirmishes and protecting the railroad. Lewis was medically discharged on July 22, 1863, having served less than one year. He had chronic diarrhea, likely dysentery, which was the most common disease suffered by troops on both sides of the conflict. He also claimed to have fallen from a railroad trestle onto rocks, injuring himself internally. He was sent to a hospital in Gallatin, Tennessee, where he was observed having convulsions on a daily basis. Did he suffer a concussion? He was discharged from the Army with a certificate of disability.
Lewis returned home to heal, then enlisted in Company B, 133rd Illinois Infantry, for a period of 100 days in 1864. That time was spent guarding prisoners at Rock Island, Illinois. David, staying with the 129th, marched south with General Sherman's Army as it swept through the South, burning Atlanta and making the march to the sea and Savannah, Georgia.
David died during or shortly after the war. With David's death, Lewis moved from a middle child to become the eldest of four brothers. I think that he was uncomfortable with being in the leadership role. He seemed to be a follower, rather than a leader.
Lewis and his next youngest brother, William H. Maddox, together leased land from their father and began farming for themselves. Lewis applied for a marriage license with Melissa Boss on September 14, 1867. There is no indication that this license was used.
Lewis married Ellen Taylor on September 22, 1869, and their brief union was blessed with one son. John Alexander Maddox was born on July 18, 1870. His mother died while he was young.
Lewis and his father argued often about partitioning the farm. Lewis and young William wanted their birthright. William the elder did not agree. Fueled by alcohol, their arguments turned bitter on the day of the shooting.
The rest of Lewis' story will be told only after the evidence is presented. Lewis Maddox died in 1915 and is buried in a remote cemetery in Brown County, Illinois, with a military marker.

We've already shown why the following companies are on the wrong lists:
Obviously, the ESC doesn't agree with the AFA that 'Christmas' must be recognized by retailers and non-religious companies. It's pretty annoying that despite the fact there is supposed to be a clear separation of church and state, the AFA (and others) seem to forget that not everyone is Christian, not everyone celebrates Christmas. We're not personally offended by 'Merry Christmas' but we all agree that 'Happy Holidays' is not only more inclusive, but it's also more accurate considering how many holidays are actually celebrated in the Winter.
So clearly, we think the AFA is wrong in their belief that all businesses must acknowledge Christmas (and not any other holidays). And we've already proven that they're wrong in determining which companies do or don't acknowledge Christmas. But we think they're actually wrong in one more way when it comes to this issue...
The whole basis of their 'Naughty or Nice' list is whether or not these retail stores use the word 'Christmas' and reference "items associated with Christmas (trees, wreaths, lights, etc.)" but we think that sort of misses the point. In their boycott of Gap/Old Navy last year, they wrote:
Christmas is special because of Jesus. It's not just a "winter holiday." For millions of Americans the giving and receiving of gifts is in honor of the One who gave Himself. For the Gap to pretend that isn't the foundation of the Christmas season is political correctness at best and religious bigotry at worst.(They also made a big deal of the commercial that dared to mention the Solstice, which they called "the pagan holiday [...] celerated by Wiccans who practice witchcraft!")
The Gap is censoring the word Christmas, pure and simple. Yet the company wants all the people who celebrate Christmas to do their shopping at its stores? Until Gap proves it recognizes Christmas by using it in their newspaper, radio, television advertising or in-store signage, the boycott will be promoted.
Obviously there's a lot wrong with that statement... there are many winter holidays that are just as special to the people who celebrate them, as Christmas is the Christans; it's not religious bigotry to be inclusive of all religions, that's basically the opposite of religious bigotry; Jesus may be the foundation of Christmas, but he's not the foundation of the entire season. But they make one interesting point:
Christmas is special because of Jesus.
Obviously we don't have a problem with Christmas trees and Santa Claus and all the commercial or secular aspects of the holiday, but shouldn't the AFA? If the point of Christmas really is Jesus, then why do they care what retail stores are doing? Why do they care about shopping and advertising? Why do they care about trees and wreaths and Santa? If Christmas is really about Jesus, then they shouldn't be butting their noses into frivolous, commercial aspects of the holiday season like shopping and advertising at all, because whether the store uses the word 'Christmas' or not they're still going against the real meaning of the season.
(Again, obviously we don't feel that way, but based on some of the other remarks made by the AFA in the past, it's clear that they should.)
I mean, let's look at the actual origins of Christmas, the way we celebrate it today. It doesn't actually have a lot to do with Jesus... We're supposed to be celebrating the birth of Jesus but some scholars are saying that Jesus likely wasn't born in December at all. So why do we celebrate on December 25th? December was chosen to compete with the pagan rituals associated with the winter solstice and the return of the sun.
The Christmas tree isn't very Christian at all either. (We're pretty sure there were no evergreen trees in Bethlehem during the birth of Christ.) This is a tradition that was stolen borrowed from pagan rituals for the winter solstice. As were the traditions of decorating with holly, ivy, mistletoe and other 'greenery'. Mistletoe was revered by Druid priests (as early as 200 years before the birth of Christ) because it remained green during the cold months of winter. Scandanavians associated it with the goddess of Love and many cultures believed that both mistletoe and holly had magical powers.
So basically, by celebrating Christmas in December with presents under a lit-up tree, in a house decorate with lights and holly and mistletoe, the AFA isn't staying true to Jesus... they're actually being true to the horrible, evil, Solstice that they mentioned earlier. If they really cared about Jesus, they'd stop celebrating in December all together.
The AFA already told us how horrible it is to recognize evil pagan holidays, so we think they should stop pressuring retailers to do so. They should stop harassing stores for not mentioning 'Christmas' enough times in their December advertising, because really, they wouldn't being true to Jesus if they did.
And because the AFA truly is the gift that keeps on giving, you can also check out our coverage from last year:

So much for the change, the re-arranging and politicians declared dead
So much for the troops forced out of Ireland, The Police abloished?
I read that things had gone too far and awareness had caused concern a~ the
Top, but their backbone must not crack, so their city wil not stop.
We need a whole new ploy, direct our motives and anger, force what we see as
Right but the system holds our banners. We need that whole new ploy, direct
Our motives and anger, force what we know as right, make our feelings turn to
Action Meanwhile, senile morons are shitting bricks cos they know the people
Have learnt Just who's who and who funds what, It's time those bastards
Tables burned. But It's all been said In another line. If I've sung It once
It's a thousand times, If we don't do it now we' re never gonna break free
From the oppression that makes us hate. Free from their law, their hypocrisy,
From the war that turns ourt sunny day grey, Or free all the animals locked
In a cage slowly going mad with fists of rage. It's time to overcome 1984,
Forget that firytale, slam shut the door. It's time for reality, not false
Hopes, It's time to show them whose the Joke. It's time to take. It's not too
Late, so much for our change, our re-arranging. Politicians that ain't dead.
So much for their scum forced out of Ireland, they increased the pressure
Instead. If things had gone too far, then action will prove fatal to their
Props, yeah, that backbone might not break, but their city tears apart!!!

Students from the Pharm.D. and B.S. in Pharmacy classes of 2011 gathered at LAU Byblos on June 28 to participate in the annual pre-graduation hooding ceremony.
"You do not need magic, nor a ton of luck to have a brilliant and successful career," Dr. Pierre Zalloua, interim dean of LAU's School of Pharmacy, told the audience of students, LAU faculty and officials, family and friends. "I know that you carry all the ingredients that you need with you already. … You should and you do have the power to be creative and to excel in order to meet your full potential and all of your aspirations," he added.
Zalloua highlighted the changes that have swept through the pharmacy profession since the 1960s. "Clinical pharmacy, the most important change that took place in pharmacy practice in centuries, has significantly changed the profession of pharmacy in the United States and this change is coming our way, with you," he said.
In her speech, valedictorian Samah Tawil, who had the highest grade point average from the 2011 Pharm.D. class, thanked Zalloua for guiding the students through uncertain times and blazing a trail for them to follow.
She asked her classmates "not to forget the journey they traveled together."
"I ask you to reflect upon the last six years and realize just how much you have learned, how much you have changed, and how much you have grown," said Tawil.
Tawil also thanked all the parents in the room for their unconditional love, encouragement and support.
After the speeches, 17 Pharm.D. candidates walked across the stage to receive their doctoral hoods, a special tradition for graduating doctoral students usually practiced at U.S. universities. Seven Pharm.D. candidates were unable to attend the ceremony.
Next, B.S. in Pharmacy graduates (around 70 were present out of 85) were recognized, receiving the School of Pharmacy pins from Zalloua and other faculty.
Awards for both Pharm.D. and B.S. students were presented during the final part of the ceremony.
Dr. Rony Zeenny, clinical assistant professor and director of Experiential Education, introduced the awardees, and Dr. Aline Saad, clinical assistant professor and chairperson of the Department of Pharmacy Practice, presented the awards.
"In today's competitive market, it is important to distinguish yourself from other pharmacy graduates," Ziad Sadik, 24, a 2011 Pharm.D. graduate and recipient of the Exit Exam Award, said after the ceremony.
"By organizing four rotations for Pharm.D. students in the United States, LAU gives you this opportunity by exposing you to a completely different work environment. As a result, LAU Pharm.D. students are able to combine both their Lebanese and U.S. experiences/perspectives in order to achieve the highest possible standards in pharmacy practice," he added.
The following students received awards at the ceremony:
- Highest GPA Award (B.S. in Pharmacy) - Antoine Gebrayel
- Highest GPA Award (Pharm.D.) - Samah Tawil
- Best Clinician Awards (in recognition of the students with the best clinical skills from the Pharm.D. class) - Rana Yahchouchy and Maya Zeineddine
- Therapeutics Award (in recognition of the student with the best academic performance in the pharmacotherapeutics course series from the B.S. in Pharmacy class) - Antoine Gebrayel
- Exit Exam Award (in recognition of the student with the highest score on the Pharm.D. Exit Exam) - Ziad Sadik
- Award of Excellence (in recognition of outstanding performance in non-prescription medication studies) - Noura Khreiss
- Positive Attitude Awards (given to Pharm.D. students in the recognition of their positive attitude and flexibility through the process of placement and rotations in Lebanon and the United States) - Mahmoud Slim and Maya Zeineddine

Chapter 3
What are you up to?
Ember looked at the new message on her Skipper account, smiling as she sipped her glass of wine.
Just got out of the shower, relaxing with a glass of wine.
Rough day?
She almost snorted.
You have no idea lol she replied as she flipped through her Snapagram feed. Suddenly a photo caught her eye, one of the very person she was currently chatting with, a candid selfie of him sprawled out on his bed, sans shirt.
Holy fuck, she thought to herself as she immediately hit the "like" button on the photo.
Who took the pic?
Which one?
She wasn't sure if she should laugh or start fanning herself.
That last one on Snapagram, you on the bed.
She waited impatiently for his reply as she scrolled through his timeline feed, watching the short one minute videos of him during various practice sessions. He was not the typical-looking metal-head musician, and certainly not someone who fit her usual 'type.' She expected her metal heads to be more tattoos than skin, more piercings than flesh, sporting eyeliner and ripped fishnets. Basically, anyone who looked like a Marilyn Manson fangirl reject.
Micah, however, looked like he belonged in a boy-band more than an alternative metal band. His hair was cut short, and unless he was hiding some serious piercings below the waist, his ears and a small, single nose piercing were the only extra holes she could see. He was broad-shouldered with a tapered waist, a square jawline and full lips which made her both jealous and slightly aroused at the same time. His aquamarine eyes had a sleepy look to them, an altogether All-American boy-next-door vibe which both intrigued her and sent her senses reeling in equal amounts.
I did
She stared at his reply, debating on whether or not she should ask him what was really on her mind.
Do you think I look hot in that pic?
Ember choked on the sip of wine she had just taken, staring open-mouthed at her phone. She had to re-read the question, not sure the liquor induced haze in her brain had processed the words correctly.
She paused before answering. I think you are cute as fuck.
LOL that means hot, right?
She tossed back the rest of her red wine, not really sure where this was going. Maybe he was just making conversation.
In your case, hell yes J
She got up to pour herself another glass of wine, struggling to get the cork out of the bottle. As she picked up her glass, a photo came through her messenger, a photo of a very naked and very damn fine-looking male ass.
"Holy fuck me running!" she hissed, resisting the urge to lick her phone. "I know what photo I'm using as my new wallpaper on my desktop," she whispered, her eyes wide as they roamed over every inch of his scrumptious derriere.
The front looks even better 😉
She gulped.
I bet it does she replied.
Don't you wanna see?
She felt her face flush only to have it take a complete nose-dive to her groin, the bolt of electric arousal hitting her so hard she nearly groaned.
"How the fuck am I supposed to answer that?" she wondered aloud, wanting to see but at the same time feeling like the biggest damn perv on the planet. This kid was literally half her age.
Hell yeah, but I think that maybe taking things a bit too far, don't you?
She picked up her glass of wine and headed back to her bedroom, settling back among the plush red and black pillows.
Why do you say that?
She sipped her wine, using one thumb to type in her answer.
I'm practically old enough to be your mum. Doesn't that creep you out?
I don't mind if you don't 😉
She groaned as she tossed her phone to the side, opting to pull out her tablet so she wouldn't have to keep erasing half of what she typed. She really disliked using the tiny screen-generated keyboard on her phone. Plus the damn thing kept trying to auto-correct half of what she typed which was why it took her so long to reply to a message.
She logged into her Skipper account just in time to see an incoming call from Micah. Her heart leapt into her throat. Should she answer it?
Why the hell not? she thought to herself. She figured the worst that could happen was her perverted sense of humor would scare him off, possibly for good. That, or her complete lack of makeup and sagging neckline. Fuck, it sucked getting old. Her mind kept thinking it was twenty until her eyes looked down. It always made her wonder what the fuck had happened. She wasn't sure at what point her ass started sagging but she most definitely was not happy about it.
She clicked on the green accept button, holding her tablet up a bit so he wouldn't get a full screen of her braless cleavage hanging out of her tank top. She couldn't help but smile as she saw him on the screen, propped up in his bed just as she currently was. His photos just didn't do him justice.
"Hey," she said, feeling like a complete idiot as she waved at her tablet.
He smiled, waving back. "Hey yourself."
"So what are you doing?" she asked after a brief second-long silence, taking another sip of wine as she eyed him over the rim of her glass.
His smile broadened. "Hitting on an older woman. And I see I was right."
She raised an eyebrow. "Oh really, what were you right about?"
"That you're just as beautiful in person."
She burst into laughter, the sound musical as it echoed off the walls of her bedroom. "My, don't you have a set on you."
He grinned back at her. "Is that a yes then?"
"For what?" she asked, a lop-sided grin on her face.
"I asked if you wanted to see it."
She flushed, once again feeling the heat rush to her center as she remembered the photo he had sent of his perfect little ass.
"Oh sweetie, this isn't a case of I'll show you mine if you show me yours is it?"
He shrugged. "Not unless you want to show me yours."
"Don't you think you should at least offer me a drink before you start stripping?"
"You already have a drink," he pointed out as he nodded at the glass of Merlot in her hand. He leaned over a tiny bit as he picked up the beer sitting beside him on the nightstand, raising it in a silent toast to her. "And I've got mine."
"So does this mean we're having our first date then?"
"Mmm, I always wanted to date an older woman."
She tried not to snort. Damn, this kid certain had balls, she would give him that much.
"I'm not sure you would know what to do with an older woman."
He stuck his tongue out, wagging it up and down as if he were licking an invisible ice-cream cone. It was so damn cute, she started giggling.
"Exactly how much have you had to drink? And are you even legal to buy beer?"
He laughed with her. "Yeah, I'm twenty-two. And this is my first one." He eyed her as she sipped her wine.
"What about you? How many glasses does that make?"
"Mmm, just my second. And you should be careful about sticking your tongue out like that, especially when you're on stage."
"Why's that?"
"Because some cougar might snatch your cute ass off the stage and shove her tongue down your throat. It may or may not be me, I'm just sayin'"
He raised an eyebrow, a slow grin spreading across his face. "Is that a promise?"
"More like a threat."
"Nope, too late, no take backs. Now you've got to kiss me when we meet."
I'd like to do a hell of a lot more than just kiss you, she thought to herself.
"So what are you up to tonight? It's Friday, shouldn't you be out with friends or something?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"That's an easy one," she said with a laugh. "My idea of a night out is spending it curled up with a good book, or a good movie."
"Not much for partying?"
She shook her head as she adjusted her position in the bed. "No, not since my twenties. I spend so much time trapped inside a cubicle at work, spending time at home is actually a treat for me. What about you?"
"What about me?"
She gave him a crooked grin. "Stop being coy. Why aren't you out enjoying your youth, hanging out with friends or playing a show?"
He shrugged. "We're going on tour in a few months, we've been in the studio for the last eight months straight laying down new tracks. Knowing I'm about to spend the next four months of my life crammed into a tiny van with four other guys makes me want to hunker down and enjoy my own bed while I have the chance."
She nodded in agreement. "I can understand that. So you're just relaxing at home?"
"Mmm hmm," he replied as he took another sip of his beer. "So what do you do? You said you spend all day in a cubicle."
She groaned. "Ugh, I work for a technology reseller. I don't have an official title, I'm just considered 'sales support.' But if you want to get down to the nut-cutting, technically I'm the special projects manager for the company."
"What does that mean, 'special projects'?"
"Well, we don't just sell technology equipment, we also do audio-visual room design and networking design as well as install the products we sell. It's my job to track all the equipment which gets ordered, make sure my territory project managers and sales team know when there are problems, make sure my subcontractors get purchase orders issued as well as get paid for the work-" she stopped, realizing she was babbling. "Sorry, I keep forgetting what I do isn't easily described and if you don't work for the company it's nearly impossible to wrap your head around." She paused before adding, "Let's just say I do a lot of paperwork."
"No, it's fine. It actually sounds like you have a really difficult job."
She nodded as she took another swallow of wine. "That's putting it mildly."
"Stressful I bet."
She lifted her glass. "Yep, hence the liquid courage after five every day," she said with a grin.
"Damn, what the hell did you study in school?"
"Business management."
"Do you mind me asking what you make?"
"Mostly inappropriate comments and smart-ass retorts."
He laughed. "That bad huh?"
"Let's just say the only thing I'm managing at that job is my temper, and these days I'm not really doing a very good job of it. I should get a bonus check for every day I go without smacking the shit out of one of my coworkers."
They both laughed, sitting in comfortable silence for a few minutes. "Did you always want to study business?"
She grimaced. "Hell no. I wanted to study music journalism, or photography, but that shit doesn't pay the bills. And unfortunately, I live in a tiny little town where jobs are very hard to come by, especially if you don't have a dick and don't know someone who can pull some strings to get your foot in the door."
He nodded. "I think that's the way it is everywhere. But I'm glad to hear you don't have a dick. That might make things awkward."
She giggled. "So you're not secretly hiding a vagina in your pants, right?"
He raised his eyebrow. "That reminds me, I never showed you the front."
"Oh, stop it now," she said a bit breathlessly, her face flushing.
"Damn, I made you blush. I can't believe it." He paused for a second, not sure he should ask but still wanting to know. "What are you wearing?"
"You want to see what I'm wearing?" she asked as she lowered her voice, looking at him through her lashes.
He nodded his head, his eyes shining brightly in the dim light of his bedroom.
"Hold on," she said as she took her selfie-stick and attached it to her tablet using the extension she had rigged. She extended the handle, the tablet rising a good foot above her, giving Micah a view of her sitting in her bed.
His eyes roamed over her tank-top and pajama-shorts as she smiled at him, wondering what on earth he could possibly find even remotely attractive about her.
She laughed as she switched positions on the bed, resting the selfie-stick on her knee. "Disappointed?"
He shook his head. "Not in the least."
She smiled as she took another sip of wine. "You don't have to lie, I don't mind. Things start to, um, head south as we age."
"Why do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Act like you are past your prime or something. You're not old," he said.
She laughed. "Oh sweetie, trust me, thirty-nine is getting pretty old."
He made a clicking sound with his tongue as if he were waving off her comment. "Nonsense. If I didn't know how old you actually were, I would swear I was talking to someone my own age. You're beautiful, confident, and you have the same wacky sense of humor I do."
She blushed. "Well, thank you, but that doesn't change the fact I've packed on a few extra pounds over the years. Damn metabolism isn't what it used to be," she added with a laugh.
"Naw, you're soft and round, like a woman is supposed to be."
She raised an eyebrow. "I'm round? I'm not sure if that was meant as an insult or compliment."
He laughed nervously. "No, it was a compliment. I mean you're not a skinny little scarecrow who spends half her day in the gym building up muscle and the other half obsessing over what she's eating. There is no bigger turn-off for me than hugging a female that feels hard and stringy, especially if I take her out for a steak dinner and all she orders is lettuce with the dressing on the side."
She busted out laughing. "So you don't like fitness buffs or models then."
He grinned at her. "Hell no, I want a woman with a bit of meat on her bones so I don't feel like I'm going to break her if I get a little rough in the bedroom."
Ember arched an eyebrow at his statement, her body instantly on fire as his words conjured up all kinds of erotic scenes inside her head. "So you like it rough, do you?"
A slow, playful smile slid across his face. "I believe that's my line."
"Mmm, yes, but I like to be the one giving the orders."
He squirmed around on the bed, his mouth slightly open. She could hear his breathing, labored, his eyes wide. "Really? Like, you're a top?"
She kept her bright blue eyes trained on his as she slowly nodded her head. "Yes," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Is that weird?"
"No," he said hoarsely, his hand moving off-screen.
Her eyes darted downward, her own breathing becoming labored. "Show me what you are doing, Micah," she said in a quiet, yet stern voice.
He gulped. "Yes ma'am," he whispered softly, the sound of his voice sending shivers down her spine.
He adjusted the angle of his phone, his hand soon coming into view where it rested over a raging hard-on which was trying desperately to escape the loose shorts he was wearing.
"Show me," she said, her voice once again raw with desire.
He pulled the waistband of his shorts down, slowly teasing her.
Her own eyes grew wide as she felt the now-familiar heat scorch its way down to settle in her center, her arousal so sudden and strong it was nearly painful. She fought the urge to groan as he slowly slid the shorts down, inch by delicious inch.
A loud pounding suddenly came through over the speakers of her tablet, and she heard Micah curse before the entire screen suddenly spun out of control before settling to show her a view of a white ceiling.
She heard muffled voices followed by the sound of a door closing close by. Suddenly, she saw Micah's face again, his cheeks flushed.
"Um, Spence just showed up. Apparently he's been trying to call for the last half-hour but I can't get incoming calls when I'm using Skipper."
"Everything okay?" she asked, silently wishing Spencer would take a long walk off a short pier, at least for tonight.
"Yeah, he just wants everyone in the studio for a quick practice session. We're so new, we've got to make sure this first big tour goes off without a hitch, you know? Sorry," he said, his aquamarine eyes still bright in his face.
"No problem. Go, have some fun for me too."
He grinned at her. "Call you tomorrow?"
She smiled back at him. "You better," she said before adding, "oh, and wear something sexy."
That beautifully seductive smile spread across his face again. "You too," he said softly before he hit the disconnect button, ending their strange conversation.
Ember rolled over on her bed, shoving her face into her pillow as she squealed in both happiness and frustration.
"Fuck me!" she screamed as she rolled onto her back, staring up at her ceiling with a lop-sided grin on her face. "What the fuck just happened?"

Trisha is a seven-year old African-American female in foster because of neglect and physical and emotional abuse. When I first saw her, she was not in foster care. She was dressed in jeans and a clean shirt. Her hair was puffy and unkempt. She sat up straight in her chair and did not move an inch without her mother's say. She was being seen for physical abuse by her father. Some of her symptoms included stealing food, hoarding food, and lying. She was later removed from her mother's home because of neglect and possible abuse.
When I first saw her with her foster-mother, she seemed like a different child. Her hair was braided and neatly tied in a pony-tail. She was clean and neatly dressed. She was rambunctious and hyperactive. Later sessions would show this out further. Her stealing and hoarding of food became less pronounced, but she was still telling stories. I was treating Trisha for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which we see in soldiers come home from the war. I was using an evidenced-based practice called Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which was developed for children 3-18 years of age. An evidence-based practice means that when this type of therapy is replicated (more than several times) there was vast improvement in symptoms of the clients. It is shown to be an effective type of therapy. This therapy is used for sexual abuse, domestic violence, and physical abuse.
This model of therapy has several components and the most important part is using the parents/ foster parents as part of the treatment. First you assess from the client's point of view, how they have been feeling to see if they have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. With young children, you give similar measures to the parents. Once tabulated, you go over with the parent what you found and if they indeed have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The next few sessions are based on educating the child and parent, depending on the type of abuse they suffered, what it is and what it looks like. It is an unfolding process.
You begin treatment by teaching the client coping strategies for when they have distressing thoughts. It begins with relaxation techniques including deep breathing, progressive relaxation, finding their safe place. You have them practice this and teach the parents how to do this.
The next step is getting the client in touch with their feelings. You teach the client about different feelings and get them to relate it to when they felt that way. If they get overwhelmed you have them take a time out and use their relaxation exercises. Then you give them a break and do something fun and work on it next session. You are also teaching them further coping techniques and getting them to think of things that work for them.
Next you are teaching them how feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are all intertwined and how they work together. You are trying to get them to recognize the thoughts they are thinking that fuels the feeling and in turn causes untoward behaviors. We are also teaching them and their parents the cognitive triangle, so that the exercises can be practiced at home.
You are culminating in therapy into the biggest project called the trauma narrative. You have them pick out what was the worst thing about the trauma. They begin to write or draw a story about what was the worst thing for them. This takes several sessions. Each week, they read to you or tell you what they drew or wrote about and they tell a little bit more of the story. You share this with the parents. When the story is complete and they can tell you the story, you ask them to tell the story with their parents. The child gets so used to telling the story that they are no longer afraid of it. If there are several traumas, you can repeat the process.
Only a trained clinician in this method should be treating your child if you suspect or if there has been abuse that is causing a disruption in the child's life. You never undertake these steps yourselves. This article outlines just some of the steps taken in treating a child with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Only a professional can diagnose this and treat it.
If someone you love has been abused, please seek help for them and have them evaluated. Trauma-Focused Behavioral Therapy is only one of many models of treatment out there to treat abuse. There are other models out there which prove just as successful.

A Phase I Trial of Capecitabine Rapidly Disintegrating Tablets and Concomitant Radiation Therapy in Children With Newly Diagnosed Brainstem Gliomas and High Grade Gliomas
- Estimate the maximum tolerated dose of capecitabine rapidly disintegrating tablets
(RDT) administered concurrently with radiotherapy in young patients with newly
diagnosed, nondisseminated intrinsic brain stem glioma or high-grade glioma.
- Describe the dose-limiting toxicity in patients treated with this regimen.
- Describe the safety profile of this regimen.
- Characterize the pharmacokinetics of capecitabine RDT in these patients.
- Explore the exposure-response relationship for measures of safety and effectiveness
using pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models.
- Describe the antitumor activity of this regimen observed in these patients.
- Estimate distributions of progression-free survival and survival in patients treated
with this regimen.
- Characterize radiographic changes in tumor, using MRI, perfusion and diffusion MRI, and
positron emission tomography (PET) scans, in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This a multicenter, dose-escalation study of capecitabine rapidly disintegrating
tablets (RDT).
Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, for approximately 6 weeks.
Beginning within 24 hours of starting radiotherapy, patients also receive oral capecitabine
RDT twice daily on days 1-21. Treatment with capecitabine RDT repeats every 21 days for 3
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of capecitabine RDT until the maximum
tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2
of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Beginning in week 12, patients receive capecitabine RDT at a fixed dose twice daily on days
1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.
Patients undergo blood collection periodically during course 1 for pharmacokinetic
correlative studies. Patients also undergo MRI, and rapid perfusion/diffusion MRI at
baseline and periodically during study for radiographic correlative studies.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 2 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18 patients will be accrued for this study.
Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Maximum tolerated dose of capecitabine rapidly disintegrating tablets (RDT) in combination with radiotherapy
First 11 weeks of therapy

Saturday, 21 September 2013 07:26 AM
A Tennessee couple were indicted on Friday for the shooting deaths of a woman and three teens in a robbery during a pot deal at a resort community in the state, officials said.
Jacob Allen Bennett, 26, and his girlfriend, Brittany Lina Yvonn Moser, 25, were each indicted on four counts of felony murder and two counts of attempted aggravated robbery by a Cumberland County grand jury.
Bennett, who was identified almost immediately as a suspect, was also indicted on four counts of premeditated murder for the Sept. 12 killings in eastern Tennessee. Bennett was captured a day after the murders and held on an unrelated parole violation.
Moser, from Dayton, Tenn., was with Bennett at the time of the murders, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said.
The victims, Rikki Danielle Jacobsen, 22, Domonic Lewis Davis, 17, Steven Michael Presley, 17, and Jonathan Raymond Lajeunesse, 16, were found shot to death in Jacobsen's blue car parked just off a main road on Renegade Mountain, about 100 miles east of Nashville.
"The two counts of attempted aggravated robbery stem from Bennett and Moser attempting to rob Jacobsen and Davis during a marijuana exchange," said Kristin Helm, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
In a press statement on the indictment, authorities did not make clear whether one or both of the suspects fired the shots that killed the four people.
The deaths have shaken the mostly retired residents of the Renegade Mountain community, a densely-wooded area in the small town of Crab Orchard about 100 miles east of Nashville.
Bennett was released on parole in March after being sentenced in 2010 to six years in prison on charges of theft, forgery and possession of a handgun during a felony, according to the Tennessee corrections department.

In the inside, the concrete wall is again hidden, in this occasion by furniture. The climbing formwork system that made possible this wall had to be successively cut so as to be adapted to the changes on the diameter and curvature of the tower.

Another day, another Elder Scrolls Online dupe exploit... Again... No, I am not kidding.
A source that wishes to remain anonymous sent me a video showing how to once again effectively duplicate any item in the game. While not as simple as the gbank dupe, it is not too hard to reproduce. In fact I was able to duplicate multiple items without any issue.
This source asked me not to share any details of the dupe, but I am sure it will be leaking soon.
ZeniMax. I don't even know what to say anymore. Your incompetence is mind boggling.
Oh and to answer a question I am asked in every third e-mail - NO I am not banned yet, and YES I have duped quite a few things. Mostly stuff for PvP and my guild.
Got more fails to report? email@example.com.
7 comments:
Looking everywhere for this, still secret. I know the basics...but missing the details.ReplyDelete
Thank you for not spilling the beans. They fixed it now along with the hireling mail dupe. ZM hotfixed it during today's maintenance and nothing is in the patch notes lol.ReplyDelete
This one actually took some time and coordination. Required "creative" mail use between two people while one was creating and deleting characters, causing the mail to screw up severely.
Lol this game launched in the most broken state ever. But then again, what ES game doesn't have bugs?
Oh shit. They also patched the buy from gbank and altf4 on login dupe.ReplyDelete
Those were the only two actual dupes I knew of. Damn.
Know of another one Fails?Replies
I only knew about one of those. The other was sent to me by a few people but I have not tested it yet, so I could not post about it.Delete
I was also finally banned today (or late yesterday actually).
Trying to appeal, but no response for the whole day today.
Well at least they're actually getting things fixed in a somewhat timely manner. I just don't understand why the unban most people who appeal who blatantly duped tonnes of stuff like i mean an obvious exploit is an obvious exploit.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh yeah. They are finally getting with the program. Although the way they ban has to be random. In my guild, out of the 7 of us that duped, only two got banned, me included.Delete
Our gbank is still full of duped items and my guild leader is still slowly selling all his gold to Chinese farming sites. While playing on Steam with him yesterday, he told me he used that money to pay off his 2013 Sonata Hybrid. So that is quite a bit of cash, and it is still rolling in.
I know of a few more people that did the same thing, earning thousands of dollars.
I really don't know how I got tagged for these TOS violations. The other guy that got banned has been mass selling gold to Chinese sites. I duped quite a bit, but not as much as my guild leader or the others in my guild.
Oh well, live and learn.
Did you dupe any skill books? My friend got banned for duping skill books, and that is the only thing he duped.Delete
Not like you need to dupe those books, you can just make alts and have them do the required quests, giving the book to your main.
Wonder if that's a bug or meant to be?

Chapter 086 – Knife fight
A few years ago, after I finished registering as an adventurer in the marine city Grey.
In the middle of the doing my first quest 'Exterminate one or more Garugaru', I met them.
A handsome man of the beast race, Nekomimi clan, Alcedo.
A woman of the demon race, demon clan, Miisha.
And the quiet man from the human race, team leader, Eikent.
After that they asked me to join their team temporarily to hunt Orcs…… but they were fake adventurers who drugged me, and by the time I came too, I was already tied up.
They then took my revolver and AK47, and sold me as a slave.
They even took my engagement bracelet that matched Snow's and destroyed it.
Even now, remembering that made my blood boil.
One of the guys who made me habour all that pent up resentment was now standing right in front of me.
(This is that Alcedo? No way! It's true that he looked similar, but just now he used body strengthening and at the same time created defense barrier in mid-air……strong enough to defense against AK47. One who is not a magician using magic recklessly like that will get all their magic drained in an instant and faint!)
I had already experienced fainting due to using magic recklessly.
They were fake adventurers that preyed on newbie adventurers, not magicians. That I knew for sure.
However, he had used magic like that and still had not fainted, so he must have the capacity of at least a B minus magician or above.
If one wasn't born with magic talent, they would never get any higher than B minus rank, there has never been anyone in history who has done so.
My respected Eru-sensei had taught me that.
That's why it was definitely impossible.
Yet, this fellow in front of me who looked like Alcedo talked to me with the same attitude and voice in my memory of long ago.
"Heee~, from the looks of it, you seem to have been freed from being a slave. To think that you survived and returned from the Demon continent with all your limbs attached."
……Looks like it's Alcedo himself, no doubt about it.
He knows that I was sold to Demon continent as a slave.
"Fortunately, I met good masters. I may even have to thank you lot for that. I don't plan to forgive you though."
"Interfering with my work as revenge…… You want to make her your own?"
"As if! I didn't even know that you were here."
"Right. I just suddenly got this work recently too. Yahahaha! This encounter must be the work of the gods, right!"
Alcedo laughed comically from the bottom of his heart.
"If that's the case, so as to not meet again, I will slice your windpipe for you!"
He stepped in sharply.
He flashed the knife on his hand in an experienced motion.
I immediately strengthened my body. Then I took out my knife to repel his.
I somehow managed to defend against his first attack, but as time passed and he poured in more magic into body enhancing, I couldn't keep up with his speed.
Snow and Chrisse looked over here with worried faces.
They wanted to cover me, but Alcedo stuck to me like a snake and wouldn't let me distance myself from him.
Our knives clashed.
"After I'm done with you, Lute, I will be taking those two girls with me! And just like you long ago, I will sell them as slaves, to compensate for the loss this time, perhaps!"
Alcedo just kept provoking me.
He poured in more magic, like he was about to crash into me.
Even though I was about to run out of magic―!
As if he knew that too, the smile of certain victory appeared on his face.
"Especially that beast race girl! She's got awesome boobs. Before selling her, I'll taste test her first! Yahahaha! Maybe tonight, even!"
"As if anyone would give trash like you their precious wives……Or rather, you shut your mouth, it smells like garbage!"
While our knives were still clashing, I pressed the switch on the knife.
Alcedo let go if his knife and covered one of his eyes.
The defense barrier prevented his face from being stabbed too deeply it seemed, but his eye was stabbed by the knife's tip.
The knife I was using was the Spetsnaz knife used by Russia's special forces, I had planned to give it to Shia.
It was a special knife that could shoot the blade by using spring power.
The penetrating power was unexpectedly high too, in the previous world, I saw a video that demonstrated the knife piercing a phone book with ease.
Now that the knife blade was gone, I threw the handle away, and rolled him over by kicking him.
Without a moment of delay, I picked up the AK47 I had dropped and shot.
His scream reverberated again.
Just in case, I distanced myself from him and, without dropping my guard, kept the gun barrel pointed at him.
To let Snow and Chrisse know that I was okay, I sent them a glance.
"Y, you son of a biatch. Using sach an undahanded method."
"LOL, being called unfair by you guys is like sex to my ears."
I spat out my hatred onto Alcedo, who was crying while dripping snot and drooling on the ground, and then shrugged.
"Well then, from taking the humane viewpoint into consideration, I didn't shoot you in the legs. The other two, Miisha and Eikent, where are they? I need to pay them a visit too."
"As, as if I know……. I broke off with those guys many years ago already."
'Besides', Alcedo endured the pain and laughed maniacally.
"Lute! You won't be able to settle your score with them! Why? Because I've already killed them!"
He took out a syringe.
The inside of which was full of green liquid.
―Wait! Syringe!? Wait a minute! Why does this world have syringes! This is the first time I've seen it!?
As I was captivated by the syringe, I couldn't stop Alcedo's action in time.
He stuck the needle into his neck and pumped the liquid inside in one shot.
"How dare you oppose me! How dare you bare your fang at our organization! You shitheads rebelled against our master―the man in black!"
I can see it even from here, Alcedo's wound got healed in an instant due to the expanding magic power.
He looked almost like a real beast, his hands were touching the ground, he bared his fangs and then howled.

Feds warn states over Medicaid limits on abortion providers
Feds clarify rules for Medicaid, abortions
Bulletin follows efforts by some states to limit Planned Parenthood funds
AUSTIN — Federal officials warned this week that Medicaid rules do not permit states to ban certain health care providers "because they separately provide abortion services."
Apparently in response to the action of several states to limit government funds to Planned Parenthood, the bulletin from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services notes that federal money cannot be used to pay for abortion services except in extraordinary circumstances such as rape or saving the life of the mother.
"At the same time," the bulletin noted, "Medicaid programs may not exclude qualified health care providers — whether an individual provider, a physician group, an outpatient clinic, or a hospital — from providing services under the program because they separately provide abortion services."
Several states, including Texas, have attempted to restrict funding to Planned Parenthood because legislators suspect that government funds are commingled with their abortion services.
In the recently ended regular session of the Texas Legislature, lawmakers considered but did not adopt a "poison pill" provision barring the state from allowing Planned Parenthood to offer family planning and other women's health services.
Laura Leon, a spokeswoman for Texas Planned Parenthood, called the federal bulletin "a strong rebuke to Indiana," which recently passed a law prohibiting Planned Parenthood from providing services to Medicaid recipients. The bulletin clearly states "that any attempt to ban federal funding from Planned Parenthood violates Medicaid law," Leon noted.
Reaction from Perry
State Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, said he was inquiring into the bulletin, but believes it could affect federally funded health programs for low-income Texans.
"The argument they make is about (patients having) choice of providers," he explained. "So, I believe one could argue it applies because your choices are limited and that is not what the federal government intended."
Joe Pojman, director of Texas Alliance for Life, said Texas law currently bans Planned Parenthood from participating in Medicaid programs. However, a lawmaker sought clarification earlier this year from Attorney General Greg Abbott, who issued an opinion siding with the state's ability to prevent organizations with abortion affiliates from delivering health care under the Medicaid program.
Poiman said his group believes Abbott has good insight into the law. "Texas ought to know how to best spend our tax dollars to provide services to low-income women," he said. "Probably a court is going to sort it all out."
Lucy Nashed, a spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Perry, said, called the bulletin "another example of the federal government's overreach into how the states deliver health care to their citizens."
She added, "The governor continues to champion the protection of unborn life in Texas."
Texas Health and Human Services Commission spokeswoman Stephanie Goodman said the agency will seek federal guidance for clarification when it asks for permission to extend the Women's Health Program.

Sessegnon takes top billing at EFL Awards
Fulham youngster named Championship player of the year among a host of other awards.
Ryan Sessegnon swept the board at the EFL Awards after a stunning season with Fulham.
The 17-year-old wideman has followed up his success with England at last summer's European Under-19 Championship by scoring 14 goals to date in the Cottagers' promotion push.
His efforts were rewarded on Saturday when he became the first player on record from outside the top flight to be nominated for the PFA young player of the season award, so it was no surprise that he should be among the big winners at the Football League's gala evening.
But the scope of his success was still noteworthy as, in addition to being named in the team of the season and the club-developed XI, he was named as the Sky Bet Championship's player of the season and apprentice of the year and the Football League's young player of the season.
Blackburn's Bradley Dack and Accrington's Billy Kee took the player of the year honours for Leagues One and Two respectively, with Luton's Olly Lee winning the goal of the season award for his strike from his own half against Cambridge in November.
The team of the season saw the three divisional selections merged into a combined XI which saw Norwich's John Ruddy in goal behind a back four of Wigan's Nathan Byrne, Wolves captain Conor Coady, Blackburn skipper Charlie Mulgrew and Sessegnon.
Wolves playmaker Ruben Neves was flanked by Dack and Norwich's James Maddison in midfield with Kee, Bristol City's Bobby Reid and Wycombe powerhouse Adebayo Akinfenwa up front.
Rickie Lambert's long career was honoured with the Sir Tom Finney Award, commentator John Motson was honoured for his contribution to league football and the special project award went to QPR's Game for Grenfell in September, organised to raise money for those affected by the horrific tower block fire in North Kensington.

The last few weeks have been busy but in the best way possible and each evening when I look at my calendar, I'm impressed with how much I've managed to squeeze into the day. One of my current projects includes updating this website, specifically the "Recent Highlights" page where I'll be adding more case studies in the coming weeks.
Category: News and Updates
By most accounts winter was mild this year but even still, as spring approaches I can't help but celebrate. During this time, as the days gradually get longer and the temperature continues to steadily rise, there's a sense of excitement and possibility of what's to come -and it is in this spirit I that launch my website.

1997 Pipers Brook Vineyard Pirie Vintage Sparkling
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Closure: Cork
Pirie is the new sparkling wine to emerge from Pipers Brook in Tasmania, and it is a wine of world standing – even to the point of price. The long term question is will Australian's pay a 'French' price for an Australian bubbly?Produced from a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, of which 40% of the base wine has been fermented and matured in old oak casks.Deep straw colour, with very fine bead. The nose is subtle with aroma of citrus, winter strawberries with a yeast autolysis background. The palate of the wine is relatively austere, and makes it the ideal food/aperitif wine. Creamy texture with flavours of citrus and hazelnut, very good length and persistence. Clean crisp acid finish, with lingering aftertaste of citrus, yeast lees and winter strawberries.
Cellar 4-5 years.
Retasted: January 2002
This is Andrew Pirie's sparkling masterpiece – an outstanding Australian aperitif, however it's a tad too expensive. Bright straw colour with excellent mousse. Very fine persistent bead. Outstanding nose, with distinct yeast autolysis character followed by notes of hazelnut, nougat and a hint of grapefruit. Creamy palate texture. Excellent length – with real elegance and great persistence of flavour. Clean, perfectly balanced acidity (often difficult to achieve in Tasmania) followed by very long aftertaste of yeast lees, biscuit and cashews.
Cellar 3-4 years. (2004-2005)

I and the family just got back from a nice trip to visit family in Calgary and Winnipeg, with a few days in New York City for the husband and I. And I'm feeling a bit rejuvenated. Though I think the kids have permanently tuned out the sound of our voices, and no longer want to listen to us telling them anything. Right now they are pretending I haven't told them to go to bed. Soon it will be their teacher's and daycare workers' problem... mwah hah hah!
Though this is really overdue since summer is almost at an end, I thought I would post some of the shorts and summer clothes I made my daughter before the trip. She didn't need them before August because she had a cast on and could only wear skirts and dresses. (See blog post from July!) But wonderfully the cast has been off for a month and she got some use out of these shorts on our vacation!
First up is my favourite - this faux playsuit. I love one-piece rompers and remember wearing them as a kid. But truthfully, they are kind of impractical when it comes to going to the bathroom. So I decided to make a two-piecer that gives the illusion of a one-piecer. I used the free Pleated Playsuit pattern by Elegance and Elephants. I have to say, her patterns really are elegant - always well-made with lots of detail.
I adapted the pattern using her tutorial for making the playsuit into separates, with some changes. For the shirt, I added some extra inches on the bottom (maybe 3"? I can't quite remember), and encased an elastic at the very bottom, so that the top would balloon out and hang over the elastic. I accidentally forgot to add the extra width to the shirt as per the E&E tutorial, but I think that worked out best for this kind of top anyway. For the shorts, I used the Playsuit shorts pattern and changed the waistline only as per the Tutorial.
And I think my daughter looks super-cute in them! I love it. The fabric is an old Michael Miller (I think?) fabric I bought a few years ago, before I actually sewed much. I like the retro-ness of the fabric, which goes with the retro-ness style of a playsuit.
Next, these purple polka-dot shorts are made with the Elegance and Elephants Bubble Pocket Shorts pattern. E picked out the fabric because her favourite colour is purple. Everything must be purple. It is the law of E-land. For the shirt, I took a purchased white t-shirt, and used a round sponge to dab on some paint that was supposed to be purplish but really was a bit blue. Still works I think.
Finally, here is a pair of shorts I made with the Shwin & Shwin Honey Pie Bloomers pattern. Even though I made the shorts version, they still look like bloomers on my daughter because of her toothpick legs. Freakin' cute. The fabric is a generic floral from the local fabric store. I think it's kind of Liberty-of-London-like.
Oh yes, and in my flurry of fabric painting, I took an old pair of my son's sweatpants and cut them into shorts. I was inspired by this tutorial by Sew a Straight Line, who made shorts with a cool painted American flag on them. Since I'm in Canada, I thought I'd try a version with my provincial flag - the flag of Newfoundland and Labrador.
It was moderately successful. Next year, maybe I'd try again and make the shorts longer, and put the flag from the top to the bottom of the leg, rather than front to back.

Why didn't I think of re-using his winter sweat-pants before? It was my husband who suggested it, since his mom did that when he was little. If you don't sew, I think this would work even without hemming the bottoms. Just cut them off!

Brazil's cabinet minister in charge of political affairs said on Wednesday that the government believes recent amendments to a pension reform bill will result in 314 members of the lower house voting in favor of it, five more than required to pass it.
Carlos Marun told reporters that the measure should be voted on this month and head to the Senate, where he forecast a vote in March. The government is pressing hard to trim social security to rein in surging public debt.

Nostalgic Nail Lacquer - Officially RESTOCKED!Posted by Erin on 3/6/12.
My balls came and I will be adding them to the bottles this evening :D As of now, the shop is open!
Please keep in mind that processing may be a tad slower than usual (up until now I was shipping all orders within 2 business days) because I still have a bit of shaking to do and I do have a back injury that I am nursing so I'm trying to take things slower than normal in order not to aggravate it.
If the shade(s) you want are sold out by the time you get a chance to check the new shop out, fret not. None of them are limited editions and if I decide to discontinue any shades in the future I will give you plenty of notice.
Again, if you are planning to buy more than 7 bottles of lacquer, please email me first. Thank you!!!

Our news media is awash with factual and anecdotal information about the changes our planet is facing, and in some parts of the world the impending crisis is impossible to ignore. However for many of us, it's 'business as usual: Food seems abundant in supply, we switch on the lights and central heating, charge our phones, chat on social media and fill our cars with fuel.
We have a sense that if all of this broke down, our day-to-day reality would become scary, ugly and violent, with hungry humans fighting for the limited remaining resources.
What would you do in this deeply challenging situation?
For those of us who want to prepare for this changing world there is very little to guide us. We are used to looking to governments and big corporations to come up with solutions, but in this situation they are part of the problem. If we are to survive the breakdown of our civilisation, we have to make a complete transformation in the way we think about our world.
It is time for each of us to take responsibility and to make the necessary changes ourselves rather than waiting for those in charge to tell us what to do. This book has been written to help with that process.
Crisis. Recover. Rebuild addresses the big questions about how we survive amongst this chaos, and offers both practical and spiritual guidance for survival for a world that is about to change. It is the survival manual for our times.

It's certainly convenient to have an easy stoplist. The problem with the way you have implemented it is that basestring will cause infinite recursion if you use the built-in iter, so if you provide your own atomic_types, you damn well better remember to add in basestring. > def walk(iterable, depth_first=True, atomic_types=(basestring,), > iter_factory=iter): > itr = iter(iterable) > while True: > for item in itr: > if isinstance(item, atomic_types): > yield item > continue > try: > subitr = iter_factory(item) > except TypeError: > yield item > else: > if depth_first: > itr = chain(walk(subitr), itr) > else: > itr = chain(itr, walk(subitr)) > break > else: > break I'm not sure why it's useful to explode the stack with all that recursion? Mine didn't do that. The control flow is nearly identical, but it looks more fragile (and you would get some really evil stack trace if iter_factory(foo) happened to raise something other than TypeError). -bob
