Question: I have come to hate holidays because without fail my wife is miserable. I have not been able to figure it out, but I think she looks forward to the holiday or her birthday. However, when the day arrives it usually turns into a horrible day. Leading up to Christmas or her birthday, she seems focused on gifts, but no matter the gift I get her, it doesn’t seem to please her. It seems like gifts symbolize something more than they were ever intended to mean, and I fail to meet her expectations. There are times she loves me with a passion, and that’s what keeps me hooked into the relationship, but when I don’t meet her expectation in the most minute way, she puts me down, accuses me of unfaithfulness, and curses me. At those times, if I were to believe her, I would believe I was one of the most good-for-nothing husbands on the earth. Leading up to Christmas, I felt like I was walking on eggshells, and when the day arrived it was one of my more miserable days. I feel like my patience and love for her is running out. Is there anything I can do to help her, or is there something you can do to help me?
The first thing I would recommend would be taking a good look at yourself. If you are getting her gifts that are going to please you rather than her, she probably has a reason to be upset. But, the information you have provided above sounds like you love your wife and you are trying to do everything possible to please her. And since her responses are so volatile, I will frame my response as though you are not to blame.
If your relationship with your wife is as you described above, you are not alone. Without doubt there are others who would like to meet you and form a support group. As much as you love your wife, until she comes to the realization that her expectations are irrational, she will continue to suffer through holidays and she will attempt to share her suffering with you.
Probably something traumatic (abandonment, child abuse, rape, etc.) happened in her past that interrupted the normal development of her personality. Whatever that something was, your wife has been left feeling very afraid of further abandonment or suffering, and she fears losing her most important object of affection—you. Though I do not know you or your wife, it is likely that her fears drive her to attempt to force life to turn out the way she imagines it should be. And controlling the world around her includes you.
A rational person looking in from the outside would say, “That kind of behavior would drive me away.” And that is often what happens. So, instead of enjoying the fulfilling marriage relationship that she desires and envisions, she is driving you away. Before you give up, on your marriage, try compassion. Realize that she is very lonely and afraid. Also, consider therapy. There is hope.
I have provided therapy for a number of couples such as yourselves through the years and a behavioral approach is most effective. The first things you need to do are stop walking on eggshells and normalize your life. From your description, I can imagine that you may find yourself staying home fearing to participate in normal activities, such as checking the mail, going to a ballgame, or even greeting another woman at the store.
To normalize your life you will need to do what most people consider normal activities, even if you know you will be beaten verbally when you get home. If the verbal abuse turns to physical abuse, use the legal system. Sometimes, love must be tough. Sometimes that is the wakeup call leading to change. This should be a means of last resort because it could end the relationship, and you don’t want to get into a tit-for-tat situation where the one who calls the police first wins.
Concerning gift giving, continue to give gifts from your heart. Let love be your guide; but stop walking on eggshells. You are not responsible for her moods. Remember, gifts, like love can only be given and received. When it is forced, it is no longer love.
If you are reading this article, and you have the urge to tear the paper up, or hide it from your husband so he doesn’t read it, or you are experiencing anger, rage, or even disgust toward this writer, it may be time to get help. Life can become much more enjoyable.

There's nothing like a bear hug from a loved one at the end of a long day. But if you live far away from your family, you now have a man-made alternative. Scientists at MIT have created a vest that inflates when your Facebook friends "Like" your posts, mimicking the sensation of a hug.
Dubbed "Like-A-Hug," the puffy vest inflates so its wearer can "feel the warmth, encouragement, support or love that we feel when we receive hugs," according to designer Melissa Chow's website. To return the hug, the wearer wraps his or her arms around the shoulders to deflate the vest, symbolizing the act of sending the hug back.
This isn't the first time fashion designers have incorporated the virtual world of Facebook into their work. Earlier this year, Brazilian fashion retailer C&A used wooden hangers to display a digital live stream of the company's Facebook Likes.
The technology has even made it into home decor. In April, a Japanese robotics laboratory developed the Hugvie, a body-shaped pillow that connects to your mobile phone and mimics the caller's heartbeat using two vibrators. The strength of the vibrations adjust according to the caller's pitch, volume and mood of the caller.
This type of technology makes the virtual world of social media tangible. Could it possibly be the direction in which Facebook and similar networks progress? Will we all be wearing Like-A-Hug vests in the future? While it's definitely a cool idea, it sure doesn't beat the real thing.
Would you wear a Facebook vest or use a similar technology to connect with your friends and family? Tell us in the comments below.

Additional features completed in this area also include road infrastructure, illumination and other elements.
Other parts of the work include the completion of approximately 90 percent of deep sewerage and drainage services, and around 80 percent progress on the potable water, fire, irrigation and telecom networks. Other essential works currently under execution include the main pump stations, water storage and discharge points.


REDWOOD CITY (BCN) – A San Mateo County Community College District vice chancellor has pleaded no contest to two felonies for using district resources for political purposes, San Mateo County prosecutors said Thursday.
Jose Nunez, 69, entered the plea Wednesday as part of an agreement to cooperate with the county District Attorney’s Office in its investigation into the college district and to testify as a observe in any court proceedings.

Nunez, who has served as the vice chancellor of facilities for 21 years at the district that oversees Skyline College, Canada College and the College of San Mateo, was charged last month with 15 felonies, including embezzlement and perjury.
The embezzlement charges were related to the awarding of a contract for a solar photovoltaic project at Canada College while the perjury charges were for his alleged failure to report various gifts from district vendors over more than a decade, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors dropped those charges as part of the plea agreement, in which Nunez admitted to using district resources for political purposes for the election of a district board member and for a bond measure for district projects.

He remains out of custody but faces a maximum sentence of three years and eight months in prison for the two felonies pending his cooperation in any future court proceedings in the District Attorney’s Office investigation into the district.
Nunez’s defense attorney declined to comment Thursday on the plea agreement.
Following the announcement of charges filed against Nunez in December, Ana Maria Pulido, director of public affairs for the community college district, said Nunez is on administrative leave pending the legal course of action.
“The College District has an unwavering commitment to integrity, transparency, and accountability and supports the District Attorney’s goal of ensuring that these standards are met by all public officials,” Pulido said. “The College District has cooperated with the investigation, and will continue to be obtainable to the District Attorney’s Office.”

The second item on my list of fun things to knit when you live in a warm climate is the washcloth. I've heard people scoff at the idea of knitting one. Why work hard on something as small and simple as a cloth that no one will ever see you wear?
I have many reasons to knit washcloths. They are quick to knit which is a very nice change from longer projects like baby blankets. They are a nice way to test your new skills. They are heavenly in the bath. It was a washcloth that taught me that garter stitch gives knit fabric a wonderfully fluffy, scrunchy texture (especially nice with soap lathered all over it). And finally gifting them is a wonderful way to say you care and to give someone a little bit of luxury.
Here are a few free wash cloth patterns that I think you might enjoy.

LEACHVILLE, Ark. (KAIT) - A Northeast Arkansas man faces up to 30 years in prison after federal prosecutors say he asked a “parent” to send him a pornographic video of a 9-year-old child.
A federal grand jury in Jacksonville, Fla. indicted 25-year-old Cody Dillon Hogan of Leachville for attempting to induce the molestation of a child and production of a child sex abuse video using a social messaging app.
According to court documents, Hogan engaged in a weeks-long online conversation with an undercover FBI agent posing as the parent of a 9-year-old child.
During the conversations, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office-Middle District of Florida, Hogan repeatedly asked the “parent” to produce a pornographic video of the child and sent the undercover agent a $50 gift card as payment.
Prosecutors said Hogan gave the agent “detailed instructions as to how he wanted the ‘child’ to be molested for the requested video.”
On Monday, Nov. 9, law enforcement officers executed a federal search warrant at Hogan’s home in Leachville.
A forensic review of his cellphone reportedly contained at least 20-30 videos of prepubescent females, 4-8 years old, engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Prosecutors said Hogan admitted to the online conversations during an interview with investigators.
“He also admitted to having sexually explicit conversations online with three additional minor children and convincing two of them to produce and send him pornographic images and videos,” the news release stated.
If convicted, Hogan faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years, and up to 30 years, in federal prison with a potential life term of supervised release.
He remains in custody awaiting his trial in Jacksonville scheduled to begin Jan. 4, 2021.
The Jonesboro Police Department assisted the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Jacksonville and Jonesboro in investigating the case.

The University of Mississippi will be screening a film by Joe York called “Mississippi Innocence” at the Newseum in Washington D.C. on Monday, October 3, 2011. The film documents the sad story where two men were independently convicted of crimes that they did not commit. The two men ultimately spent 15 years in prison before the Innocence Project was able to have them exonerated using DNA evidence.
Honorary hosts of the event will be U.S. Senator Thad Cochran from Mississippi and U.S. Representatives Gregg Harper and Bennie Thompson, also from Mississippi. The event will begin with the screening and then a panel discussion will take place. The prestigious panel will include Dahlia Lithwick, Slate magazine; John Grisham: Judge Harry T. Edwards and Professor Angela J. Davis. A reception will follow the screening and the panel discussion.
Dr. David Averill and Dr. Michael Bowers will be representing the National Forensic Science Foundation at the event and will be presenting a check to the University of Mississippi to support the Innocence Project.


Bull Valley — Holcombville School, a one-room schoolhouse built in 1858 at Walkup and Crystal Springs Roads, is on its way to official recognition as a historic structure.
The village on Monday unanimously voted to enter into an agreement with McHenry County to bring the 25-by-25-foot red brick building under the protection of the county's Preservation Ordinance.
The County Board approved the pact earlier this month.
Jim Hogue, principal planner for the county and liaision to the county's Historic Preservation Committee, said the action "should pave the way for the building to be plaqued and preserved," possibly by this fall.
"This is one of the first unaltered one-room schoolhouses in the county-truly a unique structure," Hogue said.
The corporation line of the village apparently passed directly through the school. The county preservation committee has authority to make landmark designations in unincorporated areas.

Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria cooperate for electricity project
Feb 4, 2014 - shanghaidaily.com
ISTANBUL, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria will cooperate on electricity project under an agreement concluded last week, according to a statement by the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources on Monday.
The statement said that the memorandum was signed during the Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yilmaz's visit to Bucharest at the end of the January.
Under the "backup power" projects, Turkey will be able to possess an extra 1,800-megawatts of electrical capacity that will be received from Romania. Currently, Ankara receives electricity via cables between Turkey and Bulgaria with a capacity of 500- megawatts.
"The projects that we are working with Romania and Bulgaria are part of our policy about the diversification of resources and routes in the energy sector," the energy minister said.
The new projects will make the exchange of electricity among Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey possible. The countries' main electricity companies will conduct feasibility studies and will hold regular meetings, Yilmaz said.
Recently, bad winter weather conditions caused blackouts across Turkey while the authorities attempted to equalize the power. The blackouts caused serious disruption in the manufacturing sector especially in the country's most industrialized region of Marmara.
Turkey has long been suffering from serious power shortages in the region where the electric consumption is very high and harsh winters have increased Turkey's natural gas consumption forcing the country to seek alternative sources. With this project Turkey hopes to end the blackouts especially in its biggest city Istanbul, which houses a population of 14 million.
After the completion of the project, Turkey will be able to create a backup power with a capacity of 2,800-megawatts.
Turkey's biggest dam Ataturk has a capacity of 2,400 megawatts while its second biggest dam Karakaya has 1,800 megawatts.

Pre-33 U.S. Gold Coins & Gold Certificates
Pre-33 Gold Coins Uncertified and Certified - The U.S. Mint issued its first Gold coins in 1795. During the height of the Great Depression in 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt prohibited American citizens from holding monetary Gold, including Gold coins. Executive Order 6102 called for all Gold U.S. coins to be returned to the U.S. Treasury, where millions were melted down and cast into Gold bars.
These federal government recalls and meltdowns made the previously common Gold coins very rare. Today, the surviving pre-1933 Gold U.S. coins are fixed at an extremely limited supply. This fact has made pre-1933 Gold coins some of the most desirable items among collectors and investors. APMEX is proud to offer a large selection of these harder-to-find classic Gold coins.
Gold Certificates - This series is from an era in U.S. currency when our paper money was backed by actual Gold! While the front of these notes generally bears a portrait, the denomination and the Treasury Seals are printed in a nice gold color. The backs of these notes are printed in a brilliant and attractive golden orange color which was meant to symbolize the value of these Gold coins backing these notes. These notes will add some great color to your Large Size paper money collection.

It is known in different regions with different names: in Italian it is called porcellana, procaccia, purselana (Liguria), erba grassa (Lombardia), barzellana (Sardegna). In ancient Egypt it was already known as medical plant. It probably originates from Asia. It has reddish, fleshy, very branched stems and a prostrate shape which makes it an excellent groundcover plant: from June until the first autumn cold numerous rose-shaped flowers bloom on the apex of the branches, with wrinkled looking petals that close in the dark. It needs sun and regular watering.
May, June, July, August, September
It is an evergreen plant, very rustic, with a long blooming that lasts for the whole winter; the first flowers (blue, pink or lilac) bloom within April and then they develop almost without interruption until the first frost. It needs sun and it develops in every well drained soil.
The strawberry is a perennial plant, it originates from Europe (in particular from Siberian regions) and it belongs to the family Rosaceae. It is known for the production of the fleshy intense red fruit. It could also be an ornamental plant (20-30 cm high) with large, oval and bright green leaves and flowers with five petals, white or pink.
It belongs to the family Loganiaceae and it originates from Central and North America (it is the national flower of the South Carolina in the Usa). The Gelsemium is a climbing and evergreen plant, very rustic and resistant. It has narrow and elongated light green leaves and it produces little funnel-shaped flowers, yellow and scented. Due to its appearance and fragrance it vaguely recalls jasmine so that it is also known as “yellow jasmine”.
The gardenia is a plant originating from Asia and the tropical regions of the Southern Africa belonging to the family Rubiaceae. It is an evergreen ornamental plant, symbolizing elegance thanks to its thick and bright green foliage and the candid white flowers with a velvety texture and a very sweet scent.

- Moisten a clean sponge and wipe your bisque to remove any dust or dirt.
- Using tracing paper, have each of them trace the dragonfly design provided onto their bisque.
- Make a color wash by mixing equal amounts of water with SC-43 Lettuce Alone on your palette. Then, using your soft fan brush, apply 1 coat as evenly as possible to the background of the piece (all around the dragonfly - try not to get any on the dragonfly).
- Next, using the CB-308 Flat Shader, make a border around your piece by loading your brush with SC-15 Tuxedo. Place your brush approximately ¼" inside the rim of the plate and pulling it directly outward. Then, move the brush to the left, leaving a 1" gap from the last stroke, and repeat this process. This will create a semi-checkered border (see photo sample).
- Using SC-4, 6, 7, 11, 18, 43, and 70 fill in the various sections of the dragonfly's wings. Apply two coats of glaze to each section. Use the project photo as a guide - repeating the exact color pattern and placement is not as critical as is choosing shades and the colors you place next to them. Imagine what a dragonfly's wings look like and try to capture the iridescent quality of their wings.
- Using SC-4 Salsa paint the dragonfly's mouth.
- Use SC-6, 11, 18 and 70 to fill in the sections of the Dragonfly's body. Again, apply no more than two coats.
- Now, it is time to add the "iron piping." Carefully and slowly squeeze the writing tip bottle filled with AC-306 Clay Mender and trace over the lines of the dragonfly. The dimension of the clay mender will hold up during firing.

The oldest object found that some scholars refer to as a musical instrument is a simple flute. It dates back as far as 67,000 years. Most historians believe that determining a specific time of musical instrument invention is impossible, as many early musical instruments were made from animal skins, bone, wood and other non-durable materials.

At some point, nearly everyone will be affected by a tooth cavity. The most significant contributing factor to tooth cavities is diet. You can actually avoid cavities by adopting a more healthy diet that includes less sugary and starchy foods and more water and fresh fruits and vegetables.
A tooth cavity is the result of tooth decay. Plaque is constantly forming in the mouth. When it comes in contact with sugar or starch, it activates bacteria which then attach to the tooth enamel. Over time, the tooth enamel breaks down and wears away, making the tooth vulnerable to cavity formation.
Dr. Robert Gauthier treats patients with tooth cavities in his Northborough, MA dental office. He helps prevent this dental concern from completely wearing down teeth and leading to tooth loss.
Symptoms of Dental Cavities
Symptoms of a tooth cavity can vary from one patient to another. Sometimes there may be no symptoms present at all when the cavity first develops. Dr. Gauthier is able to identify the early signs of tooth decay during your routine checkup. These dental appointments will also help avoid tooth decay and a cavity from getting worse.
Common symptoms of dental infection may include:
- Sensitive teeth
- Holes in the teeth
- Sore gums or bleeding gums
Treating Tooth Cavities
If you do have a tooth cavity or if your teeth are showing signs of decay, Dr. Gauthier may recommend a number of general dentistry treatments depending on the severity of your situation. The primary goal is to restore the tooth to proper health and minimize the risk of further decay.
Treatment for tooth cavities often involves a dental filling. Dr. Gauthier may either use a composite resin dental filling, porcelain filling, or gold filling. In other cases, the tooth may require a dental crown to restore stability and function.
If you have a severe decay that has allowed bacteria to enter the tooth, you may require a root canal, which will remove the diseased tissue inside the tooth. If left untreated, the tooth may become damaged beyond repair and will need to be extracted.
We have incorporated CEREC same-day dentistry technology into our office, allowing us to create high-end dental restorations in just one visit, saving you time and money. We understand that cavities and their necessary treatments can cause anxiety for many patients. It is our goal to make you as comfortable as possible during any procedure, and we offer several types of sedation dentistry, including wand anesthetic delivery.
Tooth Decay in Children
Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease in America. Half of all first-graders and more than 80% of 17-year-olds have tooth cavities. As a family dentist office, we are passionate about helping our younger patients avoid dental problems, especially tooth decay, and build a lifelong healthy smile.
It is very important for you to help your children establish a regular dental routine by consistently bringing them in for a routine exam every six months. This is the best way to avoid dental cavities as well as establish healthy oral hygiene habits.
Dr. Gauthier is a Pediatric Dentist in Northborough, MA, and he can help your child with any dental problems they may be experiencing.
Address Tooth Infection Today
The best way to prevent tooth cavities is through regular visits to the dentist. Schedule a dental consultation with Dr. Gauthier for you and your family today. You can also call Apex Dental at (508) 506-1691.

Now that Cory Booker, whom the progressives tell me is just Barack Obummerdroner in blackface, has secured the Democratic nomination for the open Senate seat in New Jersey, people are making plans for what to do, oh lordy, what to do. The Blue America people at Down With Tyranny have decided to sit this one out, not that Booker will have to go begging for scraps, and will instead devote their energies to helping Barbara Buono take on Chris Christie. Their case:
The rest of us, especially those in New Jersey, need to get behind Barbara Buono and dump Christie. That’s a priority! Barbara was born in Newark to parents who immigrated to this country from a small town right outside of Naples. Her dad was a union butcher and her mom worked two jobs to make ends meet. “We lost dad,” she told me “when I was 19, but I never forgot how hard he and mom worked to provide for our family. I had to put myself through college while working three jobs to make ends meet. My husband Martin and I are parents to six amazing children, all of whom are grown now. But we raised them with the same can-do attitude that my mom and dad raised me with.”
The quest to elect Buono is well intentioned but, much like Ahab’s similar determination to nail the whale, doomed – but the progressive heart wants what the progressive wants so whaddya gonna do? I mean besides finding other worthy progressive candidates throughout the country who are at least within spitting distance of actually being elected thereby helping to create a solid base of card-carrying progressive members in Congress who could advocate for a better America. There’s that.
Meh. Sounds like work.
Instead, right out of the gate, the first commenter at DWT has a plan that just… could … just … work … this … time:
My understanding of this election is that the winner will serve from when the election is certified and they are seated by the Senate only for the balance of the 113th Congress. A regular election will be held in November 2014.
I have not been able to determine if there will be any third party or independent candidates on the special election ballot.
Progressives need to walk away from an execrable candidate like Booker. It seems to me that going en masse for the Green or simply boycotting Booker and letting the GOP win would improve the odds of getting a better candidate in 2014. An incumbent Booker would be a slam dunk for six more years.
This is what I recommended for folks to do in the 2012 WA-01 election, but progressives tucked their tail between their legs and voted for DelBene. I was amazed that she had the gall to join Barbara Lee’s SNAP diet protest, despite not caring one bit about poor folks. Probably figured it would be good publicity and she needed to drop a few pounds anyway. But it looks like we’ll be stuck with her for as long as she wants to be in Congress now. Should have let the lunatic Koster beat her and then gotten rid of him next year. –
I know. DelBene, who supports gay marriage, the Affordable Care Act, medical marijuana and this is just awful. PRIMARY HER!
But hey, how about letting that GOP guy in Jersey win to teach the Democrats a lesson, I mean, how bad can he possibly be?
I’ll be as callous and uncaring as you can imagine. I have no interest in paying for your health care. I’d hate to see you get cancer, but that’s your problem, not mine. I’m going to pay for my health care, I’m going to take care of my children’s health care and tend to my wife. And when I stand for charity care (inaudible), you [and] no one else has the authority to infringe on my right (inaudible) dig into my pocket and my ability to pay for your health care or anybody else’s.
… and there’s this:
Lonegan does not like Social Security. In October 2011, he lamented that Texas Gov. Rick Perry “didn’t stick to his guns” when he called Social Security a Ponzi scheme. He later added during that same interview that Social Security “was the biggest single threat facing America today. More than half of the federal government is Social Security and Medicare, and it’s going to bankrupt this country.”
… and also this:
While Christie was running around New Jersey in his monogrammed fleece consoling Sandy victims, Lonegan was far from sympathetic. “That is tragic for them to see their home being destroyed,” he said, “but remember that every day around this country, somewhere, somebody is suffering a tragedy of equal or worse impact and we don’t run and hand them a check.”
So remember, to attain peak progressivism: It takes a village to burn down a village in order to save a village.
Or something like that…

The Mermaid Translation:
Before he went any further, Sanford thought of the mermaid. He stopped at a table set up on the sidewalk under an iron sunflower. A bead of water dripped onto him, off the wide petal above.
He smiled at the seller and she gave him a pen and a ribbon of blue paper. He thought for a little bit. Carts went by, people were talking, a couple laughed, a girl chased a dog past, then he wrote the words to fill the paper up.
“Could you have this sent to the Mermaid Café?” he asked. He put a couple old looking silver coins in her hand and she nodded.
He stood there, watched her scroll the paper into a roll to fit in the little tube tied to the carrier pigeon. The bird flapped itself importantly and lifted off her hands into the sky. There were so many lines flying laundry up above that Sanford lost sight of it behind a wet purple shirt.

MANKATO, Minn. — Minnesota Vikings receiver Percy Harvin arrived to training camp in Mankato last week about 30 minutes before coach Leslie Frazier’s imposed report time of 4 p.m.
Harvin’s arrival, one of the last players to report, ended any possible suspense after the receiver expressed displeasure a month earlier during minicamp. Harvin’s showed up in plenty of time to find his bike, and report in time for the first meeting.
First-round pick Matt Kalil was without a contract heading into the final days before training camp. Yet, Kalil agreed to a deal and made his way to Mankato on Thursday with the rest of his teammates, getting a ride from quarterback Christian Ponder.
Any possible distractions for the Vikings had been solved prior to the first meeting last week, quite the change from season’s past.
“You go from the last three years and you just look at the things we had going on, with the years we had Brett (Favre) coming in, or not coming in, or coming in, or not coming in, and coming in and then not coming in, and then we had the thing coming in with Donovan (McNabb) last year,” veteran linebacker Chad Greenway said. “Not that (McNabb) was a distraction, but it was just more attention was put on to what we were doing.”
Instead, Minnesota was able to get off to a quiet start to training camp in Mankato this season coming off last year’s 3-13 season and with a young team focused on development, if not full rebuilding. There is no courting of another year out of Favre, the savior in 2009 when the team made its way to the NFC championship game or 2010 when the decline started. There are no holdouts this season. Everyone reported to camp in time. Aside from running back Adrian Peterson’s continued rehab from knee surgery, there are very few questions regarding key positions or leaders of the team. Defensive tackle Kevin Williams is finally past his long-awaited suspension from the StarCaps case. There are no looming contract questions, especially with Peterson and Greenway being extended during the preseason last year.
And the quarterback position is securely in the hands of Christian Ponder, alleviating any quarterback controversy.
“You don’t expect those things,” defensive end Jared Allen said. “Those things are obviously rarities. I’ve had more normal camps than camps where you have all the drama. But, again, like I said, there’s no distractions. We can go to work and everybody can concentrate on what they need to do to get ready for the season.”
Harvin’s situation had the potential to blow up after he said he and the team had a “couple of issues” to work through. But Harvin and Frazier met in the month leading up to training camp and ironed out any differences. Both came to camp saying all the right things.
“Me and coach have talked numerous times,” Harvin said. “We are all on the same page. This team is on the same page. We’re just trying to win around here…I’m at camp. I’m happy. I’m onboard.”
Kalil was one of the final draft picks to sign a contract this season. But the Vikings relented on some of the “offset” language in the contract and the two sides agreed to terms, which Frazier called “a big deal.”
“We needed everyone in that room (on the first night) to hear the message that we wanted to get across as a team, as opposed to getting it second-hand,” Frazier said. “It’s important to have everybody here and eliminate some of the drama when you don’t have everybody here.” Free of any off-field distractions, there is also little buzz about Minnesota. Last year’s 3-13 record combined with a very young teams leave’s little outside expectations. The Vikings were one of the worst teams in the league last season and aren’t being picked as a playoff team this season either.
“I think this is the first year when there are no real expectations going into camp, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, you know?,” Allen said. “Our expectations as a team are always the same, and that’s to win the North and get into the playoffs and go that route, but as far as any preseason hype, there is none. We were 3-13 last year, we have a completely new team and a lot of young guys, but that’s a good thing.
“As cliché as it sounds, you can come into camp and focus on the team, focus on where we have to get to day by day and week by week and go out there and just play football without any of this added outside pressure of ‘we got this guy, this guy, that guy, where do you see yourself being?'”
Greenway called it the “most needed” camp since he joined the team as a first-round pick in 2006. He understands expectations also have a lot to do with the lack of bustle at camp and he appreciates the quiet and isn’t worried about preseason predictions.
“You guys aren’t giving us much of a hope, and why would you do that?,” Greenway said. “We’re 3-13. We have a lot of young players. But from within, we’re going to buy in to what we’re doing, and we’re going to get better, and that’s going to start on a fundamental level. That’s going to start here at training camp. So we’re just going to continue to grind it out, and we hope to turn things around in a hurry. And we know it’s going to happen this month and then push into that first month of the season.”

Oscar look quite handsome at the Cannes Film Festival 2013 for his lastest film “Inside Llewyn Davis”. I’ve added a few high resolution and large resolution images from his Photocall. You can view the thumbnails below!
“I don’t know how else to describe it. We were screwed until we met Oscar.”
The British reporter at the press conference had a question for Oscar Isaac–the same question on a lot of reporters’ minds. “Where have you come from?”
It was a logical query for Isaac after seeing him in the title role in “Inside Llewyn Davis,” the sideways folk tale from Joel and Ethan Coen that’s inspired — somewhat — by the life of early folk-revival musician Dave von Ronk.
As the tortured, can’t-catch-a-break strummer, Isaac is on screen in nearly every scene of the movie, offers plenty of subtlety and showcased some impressive singing chops to boot. He smiled quietly at the question, though, and offered only that he had to find a different way into the real-life Ronk. “I’m not a six-foot-four Swede,” deadpanned the actor, who appeared at least five inches shorter, and not Scandinavian.
So where has the 33-year-old come from?
Joel and Ethan Coen had almost given up on casting the lead for their film “Inside Llewyn Davis.” The part, a folk musician in early 1960s Greenwich Village, demanded the elusive combination of someone who could both carry a movie and perform the songs central to the film. Until they met Oscar Isaac.
“It just didn’t happen until he walked in the room,” says Joel Coen. “There was a point at which we wondered if we’d written something that was essentially impossible to cast.”
Welcome to Oscar-Isaac.com, your newest and ultimate online resource for upcoming rising actor and singer Oscar Isaac. You may recognize him from the villainous Blue Jones in “Sucker Punch”, Standard in “Drive” with Ryan Gosling, Orestes in “Agora”, Joseph in “The Nativity Story”, Cicil in “Revenge for Jolly!” or his most recent film “Inside Llewyn Davis” where he plays Lleyn Davis.
Oscar’s upcoming films in production for 2013 consist of “Therese” where he plays Laurent LeClaire, and “The Two Faces of January” where he plays Rydal. We aim to provide you all the latest news, images, fan media and more – on everything Oscar Isaac related.

Our Leadership Team (Legacy)
We are happy to announce the 2021 leadership of STAND CNJ. We have been meeting and planning for many exciting activities in this important year. We welcome people with ideas and energy! Please contact us with your interests or suggestions for initiatives.
Diane Carlino has found it difficult to remain in the background these last few years. With this being is her first venture into grassroots involvement, she is excited to support a group whose goal is to create better informed community. STAND’s talented leaders and impressive programming drew her in and she now holds the role of Treasurer. With her interests ranging from the environment to reproductive rights to social justice, STAND has offered a space to learn more about the political drivers impacting these issues. With many years of finance and administrative experience, Diane brings her operational know-how and cautious reason to the group, ensuring that we handle our finances strategically and on-mission. She lives in Griggstown and was quietly content until this bunch of rabble-rousers got all her digital devices beeping and dinging all day long in the service of democracy!
Neena Singh, our Secretary, is a community activist who has been passionate volunteer in Somerset county for 20 years. She founded a service oriented non-profit, served on the multicultural Outreach committee and co-chaired the Grants and Publicity Committee at Montgomery PTA. She ran for Montgomery Township Committee in 2010. Montgomery Township commended her volunteer efforts over the years, with a proclamation ceremony at the township municipal offices. Neena is the recipient of Wynona M. Lipman Synergy award from the State of New Jersey; the Governor awards this honor to a NJ citizen for generating positive community change within the State. She works as a senior partner with Keller Williams Cornerstone. STAND’s leadership team is lucky to have Neena as our marketing mastermind and networking pro!
Nadine Stern made the mistake of asking how to get more involved. A long time political wannabe, since the 2016 election she has been actively seeking ways to be more politically active and STAND is providing that opportunity. In addition to her role as STAND’s current President, she now serves on the Pennington Democratic Committee and is a Trustee on the Hopewell Valley Democratic Club. Nadine also participates in activities with Moms Demand Action, Mercer County and Hope Rises Up. Nadine is now retired. She and her husband have two daughters and sons-in-law and two darling granddaughters who are all proud feminists and political progressives. Nadine’s special passions are around social justice, women’s rights, and environmental action.

Unless it is specially treated with rust-resistant materials, nearly every iron-based component is at risk of rusting, particularly under specific environmental conditions that accelerate this type of deterioration. Although not every form of rust is visibly detectable, any significant accumulation will cause a component to malfunction and eventually fail over time
Rust traditionally refers only to the formation of iron oxides in iron-based metals and alloys, although other types of metal face similar kinds of oxide corrosion. The combination of water and oxygen causes these iron oxides to form a stiff, non-reactive coating along the metal’s surface. As rusted parts of the metal component began to flake away, more surface area is exposed and the rusting continues until all the material’s oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide are expended, or the material is dissolved entirely. In the case of fasteners, such as bolts and screws, rust corrosion can lead to a larger component or entire machine failing, making it all the more important to address rust problems promptly.
Removing a Rusted Fastener
If bolts and screws are exposed to moisture for a protracted length of time, they will begin to rust very quickly. Fasteners in automobile components, ships, and even home appliances used outdoors are subject to high levels of moisture that can degrade the function of the devices in which the fasteners are housed. Removing these parts can be difficult, especially if the threads have become rusted or rust has degraded the metal head, making them hard to grip with a wrench or screwdriver. There are several options for helping to remove rusted fasteners, including:
- Lubrication: Commercial and industrial lubricants can often reach a fastener’s threads, which may be difficult for tools to grasp. Applying lubricant to the bolt, then tapping its head with a hammer, can help the lubricant penetrate the fitting and loosen the bolt sufficiently to be removed.
- Cutting: If a fastener has rusted too severely to be salvaged, cutting it out may be the only alternative, even though it will render the fastener unusable. A cut-off wheel, nut-splitter, or even industrial shears can be used to permanently extricate a rusted fastener. Similarly, clamping a bolt with a vise-grip and twisting its head off can also free it from its slot.
- Torching: Using a moderate to low heat torch is another viable method for removing a rusted bolt. Applying adequate heat may allow the nut or the bolt to expand enough to be loosened. However, care must be taken when relying on torch removal, as some lubricants are flammable and lubricant-treated fasteners may ignite if exposed to a flame.
Rust Removal Methods
While many people simply remove and replace rusted fasteners, in some cases, older or product-specific fasteners cannot be substituted with replacements. Restoring bolts and screws, via rust removal, cleaning, and reinstallation, can be a vital and cost-efficient way of keeping a device functional. There are numerous ways to remove rust, each with its own degree of effectiveness. Some of the more common techniques include:
- Sanding: After removing a rusted fastener, rubbing it with a fine grade sandpaper or steel wool is a straightforward way to scrap off the accumulated rust. This is a relatively simple and inexpensive method, but can be time-consuming and often requires a lubricant to make the fastener reusable.
- Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide can be applied to fasteners and left to stand while it dissolves some of the surface rust. After the fastener has been removed, it typically needs to be scoured with a hard brush in order to clean the threads and the shank. Hydrogen peroxide is also a relatively inexpensive method, but it may leave residual spots of rust behind.
- Repainting: Coatings can be used to limit the spread of rust. After removing rust from a particular area of a metal component, painting over that surface can help to shield the metal from environmental effects, such as moisture, that lead to rust. Likewise, an oily or wax-based coating can have similar effects.
- Rust Cleaner: There are a variety of different rust cleaner brands available from numerous manufacturers. Most of them include a dissolving agent, such as oxalic acid, that chemically reacts with iron oxide to break it away from the base material. These rust cleaners are particularly useful for small metal parts, such as fasteners, which can be dipped, soaked, or sprayed in the solution to remove rust. As always, the manufacturer’s safety recommendations should be closely consulted, as some of these cleaners may be harmful if misused.

Surrey CC’s bid to create a pan-county shared back-office services project was set to move forward this week with the creation of a committee to oversee partnership working.
All 11 districts and Surrey Police Authority have signed a memorandum of understanding to set up the Surrey First joint venture company.
The new joint committee will identify the services that could be covered in the proposals, predicted to provide potential savings of up to £18m a year. Initial scoping work suggested human resources, asset management, IT, waste management and joint procurement were the most likely contenders.
Surrey CC leader Andrew Povey (Con), left, said he expected that the first of the joint venture projects should be up and running in 2011-12, and that it would be up to the new committee to identify what to push ahead with.
“Not all 11 districts will sign up to everything - some will have other arrangements but the vehicle will be there, and that vehicle will move further as future opportunities arise,” he said.
Cllr Povey said that if seven or more councils took part in any one venture he would be happy that “just over half” of the partners supported it.
He added that he believed the incorporation of a private sector partner in the joint venture was a “long way down the line”.
The Surrey chief executives’ group is to be the principal adviser to the committee. Woking BC will serve as the accountable body to manage its affairs.

The end of 2005 marked the 25th anniversary of the influential British label 4AD. Ivo Watts-Russell is the mastermind behind the company, and a masterful artist in his own right. Besides providing an outlet and home for the music of such diverse bookend acts as Bauhaus and TV on the Radio, Watts-Russell started two landmark acts, the dreamy This Mortal Coil, and its sequel, the ambient Hope Blister. The Hope Blister’s first album, released in 1998, was called …Smile’s OK and was a project that found Watts-Russell, guitarist Laurence O’Keefe, vocalist Louise Rutkowski and cellist Audrey Riley covering some of their own 4AD favorites including songs by Brian Eno and John Cale. Underarms was released in the same year, being a mail-order / internet only project that consisted of outtakes and even more ambient original music that sprouted from the …Smile’s OK sessions. Due to its elegant beauty and limited numbers, Underarms became something of a lost cult classic that many hoped would resurface. Not only are we now treated to the original in all its glory, but we get it in a two disc edition that features a reinterpretation of the work as envisioned by Markus Guentner, one of the stars of the Kompakt label, called Sideways.
As in a lot of ambient releases, it is not quite accurate to call the tracks on Underarms / Sideways songs. Each track flows so smoothly into one another that it is difficult to know where one ends and another begins. The mix of cello and guitar (and very light percussion) makes for an interesting, if intentionally droning, composition. One could imagine an undersea adventure as seen on an old educational filmstrip, sunlight coming through the fluid in rays, aquatic wildlife floating in and out of view, through reefs and vegetation. You could think of it as Finding Eno. Last track “Happiness Strings,” somewhat of a cover of David Sylvian’s “Let the Happiness In” is the most traditional and straightforward strings piece as opposed to the steady looped ambient drone throughout.
Whereas the original Hope Blister tracks range anywhere from two to almost fourteen minutes, Guentner’s `songs’ all even out at an average of six minutes. Sideways, the second disc filled with Guentner’s extracts from Underarms is on even more of an even keel than the original. White noise fills the minute spaces between lingering notes and everything takes on more of a synthy hypnotic feel. If Underarms is an educational undersea filmstrip, then Sideways is the digital IMAX version, complete with new technology and surround sound. One can even hear sounds that resemble metal underwater as the pressure builds on a submarine in “Sideways 4- Extracted from Dagger Strings.” And just like its first disc companion, Sideways saves the best for last with “Sideways 7- Extracted from Happiness Strings” resembling the most beautiful works by both Eno and Moby.
I could wrap up my feelings about Underarms/Sideways with a bad pun that is otherwise deeply relevant. The music of the Hope Blister fills me up with so much beauty that I feel I could pop.

Bend, OR (January 20, 2004) —High Cascade Snowboard Camp (HCSC) held the first contest weekend for 2004 ENTER THE DRAGON series at Mt. Bachelor, featuring the slopestyle and superpipe events.
On Saturday, ENTER THE DRAGON Slopestyle (I) contest gave a chance for riders to show their skills in part to qualify for the USASA National Slopestyle competition. With a wonderland of freeriding and one of finest parks in the country, Mt. Bachelor was an ideal place for the slopestyle contest. Mother Nature did her part providing a sunny, clear blue sky and made for a great competition day.
The park crew worked hard the night before to rebuild the biggest table top in the course, giving it three jumps options, the farthest being forty feet. It rivaled BIG AIR jumps from a few years ago. Few dared to launch it and those who did reaped the rewards.
The first person to hit the jump was 18 year old, Chelsea McClegan. She awed the judges in her first run, charging off the big ramp, with a Mute grab big enough to scare most in the men’s division. Her score from that run captured first place in the women’s 18-22 year-old division, and was more than enough to capture first place in the women’s overall division. Later, McClegan admits, “I scared myself…it was so much fun!”
The men’s divisions exuded its own excitement. Ten-year-old phenomenon, Ben Watts, stepped up for the first contest of the year. The young rider linked a BS 360, Method and BS 540 off the jumps. Then followed up with a boardslide on the 30-foot flat bar, and frontside boardslide on the 20-foot double barrel. Look for him on the podium at Nationals with runs like that. Ben’s score landed him sixth place in the men’s overall division.
The day belonged to fifteen-year old, Austin Smith, whose confident style and technical maneuvers carried him to first place, over 60 others in the men’s division. Austin transplanted from Mt. Baker last year, bringing classic northwest style with him. His winning run proved that the Northwest is birthing a new generation of rippers. Smith nailed a Cab 540, frontside air over the big table, and FS 720. Then hit the rail section with a slick boardslide and frontside boardslide.
On Sunday, the ENTER THE DRAGON Superpipe (I) contest took place at Mt. Bachelor as the first qualifying event for the USASA National Halfpipe competition. Despite the less-than-ideal weather, the superpipe still held its perfect shape all day. Tormented with rain, the walls of the pipe softened enough to add confidence, but remained fast enough to generate speed.
Brandon Luzier, from the Junior Men’s (16-17) division, highlighted the superpipe contest with two flawless runs. His first run was an array of grabs into a FS 540 and then a BS 540, and ending with an air to fakie into a Cab 540. In his second run, he topped his first score, adding a FS 720 to the mix of 540s. Brandon placed first in the men’s overall division. Chelsea McClegan, winner of the women’s overall slopestyle contest, boasted the highest score again in the halfpipe.
The next ENTER THE DRAGON contest weekend is February 14-15th at Mt. Bachelor. Join High Cascade Snowboard Camp for the Slopestyle (II) and Superpipe (II) competitions. Prizes will be raffled to competitors from sponsors: Salomon, Bonfire, Oakley, TransWorld, Nitro, Lib Tech, Gnu, Da Kine, Vans, Side Effect Board Shop, and PrintMG.
ENTER THE DRAGON also hosts the final stop of the Trans Am Rail Jam series. The contest will be held on Saturday, February 28th at Mt. Bachelor and will feature the Smith Limo jib. Check out the competitors from the ENTER THE DRAGON slopestyle competition showing their steeze in the rail jam.

Company Maintained Specialized Sales Force to Market Drug for Off Label Purposes; Targeted Elderly Dementia Patients in Nursing Homes
Global Health Care Company Abbott Laboratories Inc. has pleaded guilty and agreed to pay $1.5 billion to resolve its criminal and civil liability arising from the company’s unlawful promotion of the prescription drug Depakote for uses not approved as safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Justice Department announced today. The resolution – the second largest payment by a drug company – includes a criminal fine and forfeiture totaling $700 million and civil settlements with the federal government and the states totaling $800 million. Abbott also will be subject to court-supervised probation and reporting obligations for Abbott’s CEO and Board of Directors.
“Today’s settlement shows further evidence of our deep commitment to public health and our determination to hold accountable those who commit fraud,” said James M. Cole, Deputy Attorney General. “We are resolute in stopping this type of activity and today’s settlement sends a strong message to other companies.”
The FDA is responsible for approving drugs as safe and effective for specified uses. Under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), a company in its application to the FDA must specify each intended use of a drug. A company’s promotional activities must be limited to only the intended uses that FDA approved. In fact, promotion by the manufacturer for other uses – known as “off-label” uses – renders the product misbranded.

At long last! The CC Libraries development team at Adobe has just released a very anticipated feature: shared Creative Cloud Libraries with read-only access.
What are we talking about?
Creative Cloud libraries were introduced in 2015 and quickly grew to be one of the best services that Creative Cloud has to offer. It’s a bridge from your CC storage and CC mobile apps to your main desktop applications. Use it to collect all the essential designer building blocks, including text styles, colors, vector shapes, layer styles and much more. This made it especially useful for collecting artwork for specific projects or clients. And such a feature just begs a user to start collaborating between colleagues, teams, external parties and clients.
How to share libraries
About a week ago we had 2 ways of sharing libraries:
- Share a link: Sharing a link did exactly that. Your CC library, safely stored behind your CC membership login and password, would become a public link that anyone can access. Opening up this link in a web browser would allow the viewer to inspect the contents of the library and, optionally, copy over the library into their own CC account. This is still a great way distribute to a set of graphics and other design objects to e.g. freelancers when accepting a project. At Adobe we even use this ourselves to share demo files with colleagues worldwide. Do keep in mind that the recipient copies the library into their own account. This means that there’s no live link to the original library thus the initiator’s library can never be altered by the recipients. And what if you make a mistake and mess up your copied library? Well, just do the same thing you do when downloading something from the internet: download a fresh copy. (Of course, under the condition that the link is still active).
- Collaborate with others: When you choose to collaborate with others you’re sharing the same library with an individual or group of people. So this means you’re letting other people into your own library. In this scenario, up until a few days ago, anyone who had access to the library could also alter it. And of course this is always a double edged sword since someone can make a great addition to the library or keep it up to date. But someone else might also unexpectedly delete an item or change something that they shouldn’t, or even add content. Meaning there were scenarios where certain individuals required read-access but not write-access. For example imagine showcasing a mood board or other designs in a library to a client. You want them to look at the contents of the library, but not change anything. And that day has finally arrived.
How it works
Today, when you invite people to collaborate with you it’s up to the initiator (let’s call him “the librarian”) to decide which user has which rights. Choosing “can edit” will have the effect of a “normal” collaboration, just like before. But when choosing “can view” you’re limiting the recipient’s options to only viewing the content.
Also, keep these extra bullet points in mind for read-only users (as they exist at the time of this writing):
- Users can share the library as a public link with others, but also still with the limitation of being read-only.
- Users can’t change their own rights nor those of other collaborators.
- Users can unshare the library and leave the collaboration.
- Users can copy individual items to their own library folder and change them (only in their private environment since that other library isn’t shared with others).
