text: I have a Elan Quilter's Dream and love it. My husband surprised me with an Elan 8600 Xplore Embroidery machine for my birthday. The manual saysd I could download from the internet but the dealer did not know the required format. I have 30 days to try it out and return if not satisfied. I am shocked at the price and don't know if it will work with internet downloads. I would really appreciate any advise or comments on those of you that have experience with embroidery machines or with this particular machine. Thanks.

Going to Costa Rica was the best thing I ever did.
Hey everyone I discovered this site and found Winston Wu's articles to mirror my experiences in Texas and the USA. Winston Wu speaks the truth and because people cannot counterattack his statements they attack his character like shameless lawyers. Because of my experience living in Costa Rica for four months in 2010 I found Winston to be a preacher of enlightenment and truth.
I signed up for a mission doing volunteer work in Costa Rica because in 2009 I was suffering through the worst depression of my life. I had met a girl from Bangladesh and she got married back in her country over the summer. The problem was not just that I was permanently separated from someone I deeply loved; the problem was having so few deep relationships that one breakup could lead me to sink so low. I always felt alone in crowded places, I always saw couples everywhere and most people were happy to treat me like I didn't exist. In fact, when I traveled to California I had to venture out to gay bars to meet friendly people. I am straight but that doesn't matter because I wasn't thinking about sexual orientation; I was thinking about who is friendly and who isn't. I just went in there without fear and without judgment and they loved me for it. Gay people are sick of being judged and I was sick of being judged. Simple as that.
Ultimately it was my open mind that led me to Costa Rica because I could no longer tolerate my comfort zone. Working out at the gym was nice but it was getting me nowhere. Going to school was getting me nowhere. There comes a point in life that everything has to change. Sure I was scared to be going to a foreign country away from everything that was familiar but I was more afraid of doing nothing about my unhappiness.
From the first day I was there I found beautiful women were interested in me which I really was not used to. From what I experienced women were trapped in these cliques looking at the world with these frowny faces and showing me the backs of their heads. I graduated high school in 2006 but I felt like it just never ended. I wanted to mature from high school and create healthy relationships with everyone but so many people were trapped in their days as the popular chicks who were too good to talk to anyone. Costa Rica turned my world upside down and in the best way. Someone in the USA will always reply that they just want money and a green card to come here but they don't know what the hell they are talking about. Americans think Costa Rica is Puerto Rico. They think everyone there lives in the jungle and they cannot afford shoes. It is just not true. Costa Rica may not be as obscenely wealthy as the United States but generally they were the happiest people I ever met with a rich culture and a rich love for human beings. This girl I know - Ana Cristina invited us all to her house in Tuccurique for two weekends but she left a strong impression upon me. One of the sweetest human beings I have ever known, she was always smiling, always treating everyone like family no matter what country we came from. She is perfectly contented, even overjoyed with her simple life in a little pink house living with her family. Donald Trump could have proposed to her and she could live in a mansion in New York but she doesn't want that. She doesn't want to sell her soul and work for Satan.
Unfortunately I had to come back to the States and I have been living here three years feeling more pissed off with every year that passes. I don't find people are open-minded anymore nor do they value their relationships. I have to go places alone all the damn time because all of my friends are working until friggin' 1 in the morning. I am a writer so I keep a journal and when I sit at a table to write a private thought that I have, somebody thinks it is about them. The whole reason that I keep a journal is because that is how I keep sanity. Do you know how monotonous it is to go out alone but to keep persisting week after week, day after day? Basically, to cope with the culture here I have made basketball into a religion by going to the gym every day to shoot baskets. I have recorded almost 47,000 three-pointers in two years just to prove to myself that I can and hell, at least I am not sinking into miserable depression again. I have also started rewarding myself with Indian food so thank God for India.
There is a very real difference between being genuinely happy and just doing the best you can. The people in Costa Rica are genuinely happy and I am simply pretending every day. Therapists are always telling me to "fake it till you make it" and in the long run that just makes us more and more unhealthy. And America is unhealthy.

Welcome to the forum, Temprano. May I ask, what race are you and where do you currently live? And, your comment about people being friendlier and happier outside of the United States is so true, from my observations...It seems like you really enjoyed Costa Rica and want to go back...Maybe you can act as an expert on Costa Rica on this forum, and give advice to newbies interested in the country? That would be really helpful. And sorry to hear about your breakup with the Bangladeshi girl...I'm sure you will find another women for you, eventually...
The breakup with the Bangladesi girl was four years ago and I recovered from it and found nice women in Costa Rica. I am white and that is why her family wouldn't even want to look me in the eye aside from some of the less rigid young people. It was all OK though because I knew what I wanted in life was to be diverse and inclusive, not someone who only interacts with his own race.
Re: Going to Costa Rica was the best thing I ever did.
Teddy Ruxpin, "Hi. I'm Teddy Ruxpin. Wanna be my friend?" Indian food is some of the best food along with real mainland Thai food and Pakistani food. Yes I love Brazilian and Argentine meats as well as Dominican food and only SOME American soul food (definitely not the greens - yucks), but Thai, India and Pakistan know what the f.uck they are doing when it comes to food!!!!
More seriously, you decided it was life or death, and you had chosen life over death. I probably wouldn't have been alive today if it weren't for AWS, NiceGuy/MGTOW, and this site. That's the whole truth there.
It's time to expatriate to evade your fate; it's time to expatriate before the barn door permanently closes on "US" sheep.

The re-invention of Will Venable continues, and no one is enjoying Venable's breakout season as much as Princeton baseball coach Scott Bradley.
Here's video of Venable taking Roy Halladay deep for his 22nd home run of the season.
John Thompson III was elected to the National Association Basketball Coaches' board of directors.
Thompson's Hoyas added a highly touted power forward to their 2014 recruiting class.
Speaking of recruits, Alec Brennan made an official visit to Princeton over the weekend.
Fairfield is hosting their second-annual day-long coaching clinic on October 20. Sydney Johnson has again put together an impressive list of guest instructors, as Bill Carmody, Seth Greenberg and Mitch Buonaguro with all be joining him. That's over 800 NCAA victories combined by the guests!
Johnson appears on a David Aldridge list titled "College Basketball Coaches Who Were Studs as Players."
You can watch Johnson discuss integrating many new faces into his program for 2013-14.
Judson Wallace talks about what he'll bring to Olimpia Milano.
It seems that Chris Young pitched for the first time since late May, throwing a pair of innings for the Nationals' Gulf Coast League team last month and going three innings for the Auburn Doubledays on September 3rd.
Richard Stengel is leaving Time Magazine for a job with the State Department.
Several of you sent me this piece about the declining Academic Progress Rate at Harvard.

So anyways... I suspect the director of photography has a slight...infatuation with lensflares of the anamorphic kind. I can almost imagine him in the post production stage where he's just screaming and throttling the lighting technicians, "BRIGHTER! BRIGHTER DAMN YOU WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE! Can't you see its a bridge scene? With two people talking about losing their loved ones?! SAD SCENE. LENSFLARE. WE NEED LENSFLARE. The toilet scene too when he's pissing! LENSFLARE the &^%#& out of it! We need to flare the stream of piss, even the shit needs its own flare! I want blue and yellow ones to go with all the red in the uniforms!"
I mean, why go through all that effort to composite in pretty backgrounds and implement rich and detailed set design into a production that ends up 'simplifying' the image with tonnes of, I dare say, unwarranted lighting effects? It technically reframes all the shots that I think were fine to begin with(making it unnecessarily tighter and almost uncomfortable at times), having faces and body parts cut or obscured by saturated lines running across the entire length of the frame, forcing my eyes around all the time. It almost makes me want to believe that the raw footage was poorly shot, and needed some sort of after-effects to draw the attention away from all the 'ugly detail'. Maybe they needed a handy, clever way to harmonise the many colours appearing throughout the film. Either way, I thought it could have been done more subtly. Personally, I thought all the lensflare-less shots were really fantastic, offering some much needed visual "breathing room" between the spasm inducing action sequences.
Anyway. Extreme use of lensflares aside (which I am obviously, shamelessly a big fan of) it was still a very nice movie for me, and I think even non-trekkies (like myself!) should go watch it!

People afflicted by disaster, whether flood, tornado or some other challenge, grapple with emotions triggered by loss. Understanding the stages and dealing with the emotions make big differences in how well we cope, said Wally Goddard, professor of family life for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture.
Those emotions can generally be understood by considering the stage of a disaster, he said.
- Anticipation
Uncertainty, fear and anxiety typically accompany tornado, hurricane and flood warnings or other predictions of impending disasters.
In the anticipation phase, Goddard said, people should attempt to stay informed and take appropriate precautions, while monitoring and regulating their emotions.
"One of the challenges of a slow-developing disaster is that anxiety can disable us. When a crisis happens suddenly and quickly, we tend to respond instinctively and quickly. In contrast, one that grows and builds and leaves us wondering how bad things are going to get can sometimes paralyze us.
"Worrying can disable any helpful reaction. We're suffering not only from what damage is done but also from anxiety about what damage might happen."
- Survival
This is the acute phase of a disaster with a focus on saving life and limb.
In the survival – or crisis – stage, the focus turns to doing whatever is necessary to address immediate needs and stay safe. This may involve moving family members away from a flood or securing ourselves during a storm.
"Dealing with the crisis is a little bit like triage. Trained professionals respond to injury by quickly assessing what is most important to sustain life," Goddard said. "So in the case of flooding, if you have a reasonably good estimate of how soon the flood will come you make sure you have an exit strategy, you gather family members, and maybe you take some of those things that are most cherished – maybe family pets, scrapbooks or whatever is considered most valuable."
To manage this stage of a crisis, clear thinking and sensible action are vital.
- Waiting
In disasters there is often a time, especially in the case of flooding, when it's not known when a disaster will peak and how much damage it will cause. People may be kept from their homes for days or weeks with no way of assessing the damage.
In the waiting stage, people may feel compelled to seek out conversation.
"One of the worst things for humans to do is to sit and fret," Goddard said.
The act of helping others often brings a sense of reward and well-being, and these feelings can help relieve stress for some people, even if whatever they're doing doesn't improve their own situations.
"It could be sandbagging or volunteering in the neighborhood even though that doesn't have a direct impact on the current crisis.
"The waiting time is an especially good time for flood victims to find something they enjoy doing and that might be something as simple as taking walks, it could be reading a book, it could be knitting – something that allows them to keep their minds and hands busy."
In the waiting stage, people may feel compelled to seek out conversation.
"Sometimes it's helpful to talk to people and feel understood and supported and cared about, but it's important not to obsess about it, not to let fretting about possibilities overwhelm us."
- Recovery
The phase after a disaster can be especially difficult as disaster victims assess their losses and experience the exhaustion and discouragement of navigating food, money and insurance issues.
In the recovery stage, people should begin to identify needs and tap into the resources they have – things like friendship networks, support services and faith – to meet those needs. Then they can come up with a specific plan to get their lives back on track.
"In the later stages of recovery as we start to stabilize emotionally we may even do some benefit-finding," said Goddard. "As recovery progresses, people may be able to say, 'Well, we've got a new roof and we're closer as a neighborhood.' Or they may say, 'At least we're alive'."
Goddard cautions against hyper-focusing -- getting so caught up in crisis-related issues that you drop regular activities and hobbies. We need to make space in our lives for activities that restore us.
"Taking walks, being with friends, eating healthy meals or maybe even pursuing hobbies such as woodworking, reading, singing – anything that helps us recharge our batteries so that we're better able to cope with the challenges we're dealing with."
Disaster victims should check with their employee assistance program managers and health plan contact points to learn about benefits that can help them through this difficult time.

My mom had a few bottles laying around that I wanted to re-purpose, and this is one of the projects I came up with using spray paint. Ombre is seems so hot right now and why not ombre painted bottles?
Here's a before picture of some of the bottles.
It was a very easy project and all you need are three colors of spray paint.
I sprayed on the white just at the top and then sprayed the middle color and then the bottom color. Once it's dry you will need to go back and touch up each color until you get the bleed line just like you like it, but leave the bottom color for last.

Washington • The Obama administration, roiled by the first killing of a U.S. ambassador in more than 30 years, is investigating whether the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was a planned terrorist strike to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and not a spontaneous mob enraged over an anti-Islam YouTube video.President Barack Obama declared in a White House appearance that the U.S. would "work with the Libyan government to bring to justice" those who killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. The attack on the Benghazi consulate was "a planned, coordinated, well-executed military style event," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said.
In a show of force, the Pentagon moved two warships to the Libyan coast. Officials said one destroyer, the USS Laboon, moved to a position off the coast Wednesday, and the destroyer USS McFaul was en route and should be stationed off the coast within days, increasing the number of Navy destroyers in the Mediterranean from four to five.
Officials said the ships, which carry Tomahawk cruise missiles, do not have a specific mission. But they give commanders flexibility to respond to any mission ordered by the president.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said, "Without commenting on specific ship movements, the United States military regularly takes precautionary steps when potential contingencies might arise in a given situation. That's not only logical in certain circumstances, it's the prudent thing to do."
At the same time, some 50 U.S. Marines headed to Libya to reinforce security at U.S. diplomatic facilities, initially at the American embassy in Tripoli, not Benghazi.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss troop movements.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said it was too early to judge whether the Benghazi attack was planned.
"I know that this is being investigated, and we're working with the Libyan government to investigate the incident. I would not want to speculate on that at this time," he said. Several Libyan security guards also were killed.
Rogers, R-Mich., said U.S. intelligence had not yet determined who was responsible, but added, "Our list is narrowing."
"When you see [such an attack], it wasn't some folks who had some guns in their garage and said let's shoot up the consulate," Rogers said in an interview Wednesday.
The FBI was sending evidence teams to Libya, said a law enforcement official.
Analysts are working on several different scenarios based on intelligence that could lead to a motive for the attack. Some concern the possibility of targeting high-ranking officials, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. But none of the intelligence has suggested terrorists would specifically target Stevens, said the official who also spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation.
The attack in Libya, which came hours after a mob stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and tore down the U.S. flag, was presumed to have been triggered by a movie, whose trailer has gone viral on YouTube, depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad in disrespectful ways. In an extraordinary move, Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called anti-Islamic preacher Terry Jones and asked him to stop promoting the film. A spokeswoman said the church would not show the film Wednesday evening.
"Make no mistake. Justice will be done," a somber Obama pledged at the White House, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at his side.
He ordered increased security at U.S. diplomatic missions overseas, particularly in Libya, and said he condemned "in the strongest possible terms the outrageous and shocking" attack. Clinton said she was particularly appalled that the attack took place in Benghazi, which the U.S. had helped liberate from dictator Moammar Gadhafi during the Arab Spring revolution in Libya last year.
Three Americans were wounded, U.S. officials said.
The aftermath of the two attacks also stirred the U.S. presidential campaign, where until Wednesday, foreign policy had taken a back seat to the struggling economy.
The Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, criticized the administration for statements issued before and after the Cairo attacks that expressed sympathy for those insulted by the video. But he in turn was criticized for turning a tragedy too quickly into political fodder, and getting key details wrong. And his account didn't mesh completely with events in Cairo.
The embassy statement that he referred to as akin to an apology was issued at midday on Tuesday in Cairo at a time the embassy staff was aware of still-peaceful demonstrations in the area nearby. It was four or five hours later when the mob breached the compound's walls and tried to burn a U.S. flag.
Obama told CBS' "60 Minutes" that Romney "seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later."
Obama and Clinton made a rare joint visit to the State Department, where grieving colleagues of Stevens and the other three Americans killed in Benghazi gathered in a courtyard. The president also ordered U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff at government and military buildings and vessels around the world until sunset on Sept. 16. Flags had already been lowered in many places to commemorate the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
Clinton denounced those who might kill over an insulting movie.
"There is no justification for this," Clinton said. "None. Violence like this is no way to honor religion or faith and as long as there are those who would take innocent life in the name of God, the world will never know a true and lasting peace."
Underscoring the administration's frustration, Clinton wondered aloud about the attack in Benghazi, which Gadhafi had once threatened to destroy.
"This is not easy," she said. "Today, many Americans are asking, indeed I asked myself, how could this happen? How could this happen in a country we helped liberate, in a city we helped save from destruction? This question reflects just how complicated and, at times, just how confounding, the world can be."
"But we must be clear-eyed in our grief," she said, saying the attack was carried out by a "small and savage group" not representative of the Libyan people. She noted that Libyan security guards had tried to fight off the attackers, had carried Stevens' body to the hospital and led other consulate employees to safety.
Stevens, a 52-year-old career diplomat, was killed after he became separated from other American officials during the consulate attack. It's unclear when he died: He was taken by Libyans to a hospital, and his remains were delivered hours later to U.S. officials at the Benghazi airport.
Stevens is the first U.S. ambassador to be killed in an attack since 1979, when Ambassador Adolph Dubs was killed in Afghanistan.
Three other Americans were also killed and the State Department identified one of them as Sean Smith, an Air Force veteran who had worked as an information management officer for 10 years in posts such as Brussels, Baghdad and Pretoria. Smith was also well-known in the video game community.
The identities of the others were being withheld pending notification of relatives.
"The mission that drew Chris and Sean and their colleagues to Libya is both noble and necessary, and we and the people of Libya honor their memory by carrying it forward," Clinton said.
Stevens spoke Arabic and French and had already served two tours in Libya, including running the office in Benghazi during the revolt against Gadhafi. He was confirmed as ambassador to Libya by the Senate earlier this year. Huntsman salutes ambassador killed in Libya
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who has twice served as a U.S. ambassador, expressed condolences on the killing of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens. Huntsman, who did not know Stevens personally, issued a statement lauding Stevens for "representing the highest ideals of American diplomacy."
"This is a time when we all should reflect on those who continue to give, even the last measure, of service and sacrifice, to promoting and defending America's interests abroad," Huntsman added. "This is above all a reminder that politics should end at the waters' edge."
Huntsman's last sentence appears to be directed at Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, the only top Republican who has condemned President Barack Obama's administration for what Romney said was apologizing for America in the government's initial response.
Critics, including some former Republican State Department officials, have slammed Romney for politicizing the tragedy. Obama, Clinton statements on Libya attack
Statements by President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday's attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, as released Wednesday by the White House:
I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America's commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.
I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.
On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya's transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.
The brave Americans we lost represent the extraordinary service and sacrifices that our civilians make every day around the globe. As we stand united with their families, let us now redouble our own efforts to carry their work forward.
It is with profound sadness that I share the news of the death of four American personnel in Benghazi, Libya, yesterday. Among them were United States Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith. We are still making next of kin notifications for the other two individuals. Our hearts go out to all their families and colleagues.
A 21-year veteran of the Foreign Service, Ambassador Stevens died last night from injuries he sustained in the attack on our office in Benghazi.
I had the privilege of swearing in Chris for his post in Libya only a few months ago. He spoke eloquently about his passion for service, for diplomacy and for the Libyan people. This assignment was only the latest in his more than two decades of dedication to advancing closer ties with the people of the Middle East and North Africa, which began as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco. As the conflict in Libya unfolded, Chris was one of the first Americans on the ground in Benghazi. He risked his own life to lend the Libyan people a helping hand to build the foundation for a new, free nation. He spent every day since helping to finish the work that he started. Chris was committed to advancing America's values and interests, even when that meant putting himself in danger.
Sean Smith was a husband and a father of two, who joined the Department ten years ago. Like Chris, Sean was one of our best. Prior to arriving in Benghazi, he served in Baghdad, Pretoria, Montreal and most recently The Hague.
All the Americans we lost in yesterday's attacks made the ultimate sacrifice. We condemn this vicious and violent attack that took their lives, which they had committed to helping the Libyan people reach for a better future.
America's diplomats and development experts stand on the front lines every day for our country. We are honored by the service of each and every one of them.

John Masefield, (born June 1, 1878, Ledbury, Herefordshire, Eng.—died May 12, 1967, near Abingdon, Berkshire), poet, best known for his poems of the sea, Salt-Water Ballads (1902, including "Sea Fever" and "Cargoes"), and for his long narrative poems, such as The Everlasting Mercy (1911), which shocked literary orthodoxy with its phrases of a colloquial coarseness hitherto unknown in 20th-century English verse.
Educated at King's School, Warwick, Masefield was apprenticed aboard a windjammer that sailed around Cape Horn. He left the sea after that voyage and spent several years living precariously in the United States. His work there in a carpet factory is described in his autobiography, In the Mill (1941). He returned to England, worked for a time as a journalist for the Manchester Guardian, and settled in London. After he succeeded Robert Bridges as poet laureate in 1930, his poetry became more austere.
Other of Masefield's long narrative poems are Dauber (1913), which concerns the eternal struggle of the visionary against ignorance and materialism, and Reynard the Fox (1919), which deals with many aspects of rural life in England. He also wrote novels of adventure—Sard Harker (1924), Odtaa (1926), and Basilissa (1940)—sketches, and works for children. His other works include the poetic dramas The Tragedy of Nan (1909) and The Tragedy of Pompey the Great (1910), as well as a further autobiographical volume, So Long to Learn (1952). Masefield was awarded the Order of Merit in 1935.

On Saturday we worked for a few hours in the morning, since we have a deliverable due Sunday, and then went out to explore in the afternoon.
Carla and Alejandra have made a connection with a local blogger named Sara, who gave them all sorts of suggestions on where we could go for shopping, food, and other delights. The area we concentrated on is Bole, an expat neighborhood.
We first stopped at an out-of-the-way workshop (which we definitely wouldn't have found on our own) called Sabahar that produces handwoven scarves and placemats. The factory was open and light-filled, and we went to the attached store to buy some of the colorful goods. Some of us were particularly inspired by the owner and manager, Kathy, who expatriated from Canada for her husband's work, and 14 years ago started this business on her own. She employs over 150 local people and teaches farmers how to raise silkworms to produce the silk used in some of the scarves. It's the kind of sustainable business that some of us want to develop after business school.
Next stop was ice cream at Igloo, which Kathy recommended as the best in Addis. We were really excited to try it, since ice cream is super rare in Ethiopia, due to the limited cold chain (something we're learning a lot about with our project). The flavors were very bright and we're already planning to return!
We visited another handicrafts store called Salem, owned by a kind proprietress by the same name. The inner courtyard had a puppy and kitten romping around, who Katie quickly befriended.
Our money all spent and our bellies full of yumminess, we retired to the hotel where we ordered pizza for dinner and talked for awhile. It was a cozy and relaxing evening.

Coming-Out Party
(SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – July 18, 2011) The reason that hope remains a commodity in horse racing circles is because a good horse can turn up anywhere. Even though buyers at last week's Fasig-Tipton July Sale in Lexington, KY faced up to their responsibility to be optimistic with limited vigor, Saratoga Racecourse stands ready to infuse the sport with some fresh expectation.
For all its management's concern about how to maintain the quality standards that have made it America's premier racing product (the horse shortage threatens the condition book, the handicap division is weak and three-year-olds aren't up to the Travers), the Spa still has its two-year-old racing program. When the historic track opens for the 143rd time this upcoming weekend, it will host three graded stakes, of which two are for two-year-olds.
Bookending Saturday's Grade 1 TVG Coaching Club American Oaks for three-year-old fillies on Saturday will be the Grade 3 Schuylerville for two-year–old fillies on Friday and the Grade 2 Sanford for two-year-old colts on Sunday. Five additional graded stakes for juveniles are scheduled to complete the meet. Seventy races for maiden two-year-olds are being written for Saratoga's 40 days and, rightfully so, NYRA's publicity department is trumpeting this phase of the operation over the tracks more established features.
Triple Crown racing has become the barometer used to identify the best horses in the three-year-old division, horse racing's glamour division, and although Saratoga two-year-olds ran in abundant numbers in these classics, they fared merely adequately.
Mucho Macho Man, third in his second career start at the Spa, ran third in the Kentucky Derby, sixth in the Preakness and seventh in the Belmont. Brilliant Speed, a dismal seventh against Mucho Macho Man in the race that he ran at Saratoga, was sixth in the Derby and third in the Belmont. Stay Thirsty, twelfth in the Derby and second in the Belmont, won upstate in his second race and finished second in the Hopeful. Astrology, third in the Preakness, was third at Saratoga in his maiden endeavor and won the next time out.
What one might say about the other Saratoga starters of 2010 with 2011 Triple Crown history – Santiva, Soldat, Derby Kitten, King Congie and Isn't He Perfect – is that they were okay, nothing more. Two Triple Crown duds, namely Santiva and Soldat, performed well at the Spa, but the rest finished up the track everywhere. In all, there were 31 individual Triple Crown starters combined and nine of them had Saratoga in their PPs, 29 percent in total. Of those nine, three were winners at Saratoga. None got roses, black-eyed Susans or carnations.
Only two of the last dozen Kentucky Derby winners had Saratoga experience. Among the 19 2011 Derby starters, six were seen at Saratoga. Of the Preakness's 14, there were four. Of the Belmont's dozen, there were five. Considering how young horses can't take the grind in the same way they used to, and considering the early drop-out rate that they've established, you'd think fewer would make it that far, and you'd think the two-year-old program at Saratoga would suffer. But it doesn't seem to be happening.
Five years ago, Saratoga produced an almost identical record in terms of its two-year-olds and Triple Crown matters. In 2006, there were 31 unique starters in the three Triple Crown races combined and six raced at Saratoga (19 percent). Of the six Saratoga runners, two were winners (33 percent). Ten years ago, in 2001, there were 25 unique starters and six raced at Saratoga (24 percent). Of the six to run at Saratoga, two won (33 percent). Thirty years ago, in 1981, the numbers were slightly different, but equally impressive – 16 percent of the Triple Crown horses raced at Saratoga and 60 percent of those won.
In the past four runnings of the Triple Crown series, 30 individual horses have finished in the top three. Of those 30 horses, 12 competed at Saratoga as juveniles. That means that 40 percent of horses to have placed in a Triple Crown event in the last four years have emerged from Saratoga. Of those 12 horses, only one won his career debut; three others won at Saratoga in their second start and the remaining eight competed at the Spa without winning.
Saratoga is still a coming-out party for future stars. However, they might not be the horses you would expect. Not all of the Saratoga runners that went on to success in the classics actually won at the Spa. The horses that dazzle us by breaking their maidens impressively or winning some of Saratoga's juvenile stakes may not be in the headlines come the following spring.
Young racehorses develop mentally and physically at a different pace. The early bloomers may not withstand the rigors of training or may fall off the radar once the late bloomers catch up with them developmentally. Often, horses that emerge from Saratoga to make waves the next spring aren't easily spotted at Saratoga because they were flying under the radar of the early bloomers.
If you're at Saratoga trying to see a star of tomorrow, it might be best to look for latent talent. That being the case, the situation, as it stands, speaks highly of all horses competing in maiden two-year-old races that Saratoga cards.

Create a collaborative learning environment for discussing key journal articles for our residency program.
Proposed solution:
Create an automated method for posting key journal articles to an online discussion group. Each article abstract should be a separate post in the forum with space for comments.
With tighter duty hour restrictions, going online might be more acceptable.
Most residents use social networking (e.g. Facebook) and have Google accounts - so our solution should try and leverage these 2.
It would be more likely to succeed if we go to where the energy is (Facebook) rather than create a new site with a new log in.
A few faculty members or Chief Residents would take on the task of filtering and selecting the articles.
|Model for using Google Reader and Facebook Groups for an Internal Medicine Journal Club
- Faculty member/Chief Residents set up Google Reader accounts
- Subscribe to RSS feeds for some selected Journals in their specialty.
- Periodically (at least weekly) review the feeds and share some of the most relevant articles in Google Reader
- Find the RSS feed for their shared items list
- Create a Group in Facebook (possibly a closed group so only members can view and comment)
- Authorize the Facebook Application RSS Graffiti for this Group. (only group admins can do this)
- Create a feed in RSS Graffiti with the RSS feed of the shared items list
- Ensure that specific settings are modified and test for the posts to show up within about 30 minutes.
- You have to authorize RSS Graffiti for your Facebook account before it will work on your Facebook Group.
- You have to be the admin for that FB group
- Edit the feed and under the Filter tab, make sure you change to date to when there are some items to show. By default it is set to the time of creation of the feed in RSS Graffiti
- Edit the feed and under the More tab, make sure you are posting as yourself and not as the Group.
- Invite/add members to the Group.
- Enjoy!

Charles Weiker of Fremont, Ohio shared this story and these images of his family. At Find A Grave, you'll see further images and information posted by Godette family members.
James Godette, Jr.
The family of George and Deborah Godette's French connection derives from Jean Gaudet, the progenitor of Gaudet/Godette descendants in North America. He was born ca. 1575 in Martaize Vienne, France. He and his family along with his brother Aubin Gaudet arrived in Port Royal, Acadia in 1636. Jean Gaudet was a farmer who raised cattle and sheep and cultivated his acres of land in the Annapolis Basin for over 30 years, caring and providing for his family in his new homeland. Jean Gaudet died in the year 1672 in Port Royal, Acadia.
Nearly a century later, between 1755 and 1762, it became a very tumultuous and tragic time for Acadians. It was in those years that the British authorities decided to enforce the deportation orders. Acadians were stripped of their rights and placed on overcrowded vessels bound for unrevealed destinations. The events were horrendous and marked the memories of the exiled and their descendants for decades to come.
Acadia, Annapolis Basin
Among the children of George and Deborah Godette were Peter Godette and Deborah Godette. Deborah married Isaac Perkins, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. He enlisted for three years, was granted a pension, which was repealed and later restored.
As with so many of those who were exiled; George Godette's definitive destination cannot be fully documented due to the uncertainties of acceptance and survival of the assorted deported. What can be determined within his timeline of exiled events is his connection by marriage to Deborah George, whose family is documented to be living in Craven County, North Carolina as early as 1753. Deborah's brother, Peter, was listed in a Company of Foot Soldiers commanded by Captain Abner Neale by Commission bearing the date of April 11, 1753 for the District between the Head of Slocombs Creek to the Head of Turnagain Bay. The first known record in Craven County, North Carolina for George Godette, himself, is his being excused from paying taxes in September of 1780 due to the fact that he was crippled.
Peter Godette married Sarah Barber in 1797 in Craven County, North Carolina. They were the parents of John Godette, who married Clarissa Jackson. The laws of North Carolina allowed free people of color to have a license to carry guns. The names of John Godette and his sons William Godette and James Godette appears on lists dated September 1851; June 1852; and September 1854.
As mixed raced people they were free and had rights, but conditions before the start of the Civil War became unsettled and unsatisfactory for them. The relationships between ethnic groups was of a fluid nature among early working class people, before legalized slavery and stringent laws unnaturally and unnecessarily strained and defined color lines.
For whatever the reasons, decisions were made within the family of John and Clarissa Jackson Godette. Some of the family would remain in Beaufort County, North Carolina and continue their lives there. Those who chose to stay were: John and Clarissa Godette, their son, William Godette and his family; and their daughter, Ellen Godette Cannon and her family.
Those who chose to go with a group of 60 people for the migration to Ohio were three of John and Clarissa Jackson Godette's children and their families: Elizabeth "Patsy" Godette Laughinghouse; James and Elizabeth Driggers Godette; and John and Linda Godette Blackwell. They left before the start of the Civil War and made their way northward to Ohio, settling in the communities of Oberlin, Pittsfield, and Kipton in Lorain County; Fremont in Sandusky County; and Elmore in Ottawa County.
Godette Family Home in Pittsfield, Ohio (ca. 1860s)
James Godette, Sr. and Elizabeth Driggers Godette; and two of their daughters, Henrietta and Josephine
James Godette, Sr. and Elizabeth Driggers Godette; and two of their daughters, Henrietta and Josephine
They were true pioneers in the very sense of the word, as are many of their descendants to this day. Among them were two of the sons of James and Elizabeth Driggers Godette of Lorain County: William and Alfred Godette. The two brothers moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, where they joined the city's fire department. William Godette joined in 1885 and rose through the ranks to captain during his 41 years of service. Younger brother Alfred joined in 1909 and died fighting a fire in 1921, the ultimate sacrifice for service.
William Godette, St. Paul, Minnesota
The new St. Paul Fire Department Headquarters and Station 1 is now named the William and Alfred Godette Memorial Building to honor their memories. It was formally commissioned and opened in September 2010

Earlier this week, the governor of Missouri made an offer that elected officials in Topeka should be cheering about. Gov. Jay Nixon wants a joint moratorium between the two states to end job-poaching in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Every year, economic development gurus from the bordering states put together multi-million-dollar packages that lure businesses from one side of the metro to the other.
"This problem -- unique to this region -- of taking jobs that already exist and treating them as if they're brand new, is the unintended consequence of incentive programs in both states, and all of us have a shared responsibility to fix it," Nixon said while addressing the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce.
To his credit, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback was in agreement. In fact, Brownback has proposed the same idea in the past, so he thanked Nixon for joining the effort.
"I have been open to resolving this issue for more than a year, and in that time have engaged in active discussion with Gov. Nixon," Brownback said in a statement. "We also have talked with members of the Missouri Legislature who are interested in putting an end to this 'war.' "
But if Rep. J.R. Clays, R-Salina, is indicative of the Kansas Legislature, there remains a lot more convincing to take place.
"Looks like Missouri is surrendering," Clays wrote on his legislative Twitter account. "Can't compete with Kansas for jobs. We'll continue to incentivize."
If he had left it at the first two sentences, we might have taken the tweet in jest. The "We'll continue to incentivize" makes it clear he's serious.
It also makes clear either he doesn't understand the incredibly expensive shell game taking place in Kansas City that negatively affects both states or, worse, doesn't care.
Clays' unwillingness to stop giving away non-productive corporate subsidies is a position shared by many of his colleagues. Last year, the Missouri Legislature debated a bill that would force the Show Me State to stop poaching jobs from its neighbor -- as long as their Kansas counterparts would pass something similar. No such legislation surfaced in Topeka, so Missouri lawmakers dropped it.
In the past five years, Kansas and Missouri have committed more than $750 million in tax incentives and bonds to approximately 200 companies either to relocate to or expand in the Kansas City area. More than a handful of those already were in the metro, so nothing moved other than a few jobs. Commuting employees didn't change their residences, just where they punch a clock.
Examples are not hard to find.
JPMorgan Retirement Plan Services moved from Kansas City to Overland Park for $15.3 million in incentives. So did KeyBank Real Estate Capital for $15 million and Teva Nueroscience for $40.7 million. AMC Entertainment was lured to Leawood from Kansas City for $47 million.
Missouri has taken its fair share back. Applebee's left Lenexa for Kansas City for $12.5 million. Freightquote took the same path for $64.3 million. North American Savings Bank moved from Overland Park to Kansas City for $5.9 million, while Velociti departed Kansas City, Kan., for Riverside with a mere $1.6 million inducement.
In each case, the state losing the company loses all the tax revenues while the gaining state forgives all the tax revenues.
The only winner is the company itself, which generally receives a brand-new building and all the associated services paid for by taxpayers who don't have such exemptions.
Kansas legislators truly need to examine the situation and act, particularly while there's positive indication from Missouri's elected leaders to stop poaching from each other. And they need to make it law. The two states signed an anti-poaching agreement some 15 years ago that wasn't paid attention to in the least. In fact, the Kansas Department of Revenue can't even find the document.
Both states' governors recognize the real gains to be had if their economic development teams weren't working against each other. So does the Missouri Legislature. All that is required is a majority of Kansas lawmakers.
We hope Rep. Clays doesn't represent the majority position.

Lasers heal damaged rodent teeth
Shining light on molars turns on stem cells, spurring regrowth of dentin
P.R. Arany et al/Science Translational Medicine
To rebuild damaged teeth, just add laser light.
Zaps from a low-power laser boost tooth growth in rodents, researchers report May 28 in Science Translational Medicine. The beams of light set off a molecular chain reaction that ends with the regeneration of dentin, the tough stuff inside teeth.
The findings may change the way dentists think about treating patients, says dental stem cell researcher Peter Murray of Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "It's a new application for lasers in dentistry."
Today, dentists and doctors can use lasers as high-tech scalpels to carve out damaged tissue, slice away overgrown gums or burn away tumors. But for years scientists have had hints that turning down a laser's power could actually get cells growing.
Light from a low-power laser can spark new growth of heart, skin and nerve tissue, and researchers have

HE Washing Machines do the best at cleaning cloth diapers. Lots of rubbing and agitation gets them clean! The fast spin at the end helps with drying time, too. We use a "Bulky" setting for the wash cycle - it adds more water and a thorough soak at the beginning.
Everybody seems to have an opinion on which and how much detergent to use/not use. What are the rules?
No brighteners, enzymes, fragrances, dyes. Salt-based detergent (NO PLANT, like soy, coconut, etc).
i.e. Don't use anything that will coat the fabric and compromise absorbency!
|No waxes or petroleum for the diaper balm. We use Magic Stick to create a nice, organic, moisture barrier on the skin.
If a yeast infection is suspected - see your doctor. If you need to use Nystatin cream, switch to a disposable or GroVia BioSoaker.
We use (and sell) Tiny Bubbles on all of our laundry. It is great for sensitive skin.
At the Changing Table:
Change baby. Pee-only diapers can go directly into the pail.
|Regarding the Poopy Diapers:
Exclusively breastfed babies make a lovely water-soluble poop that simply washes away in the washer. Once you introduce solids, though, things change. You'll need to shake off the solids into the toilet before you put it into the dry pail. For the sticky ones, a toilet sprayer is helpful. Now that I've introduced solids to my baby, I SWEAR BY THE TOILET SPRAYER! (The toilet sprayers are also nice and gentle for post-partum cleansing, toilet bowl cleaning, and later - potty training bowl rinsing.)
If you choose a fleece-lined diaper, like FuzziBunz or Bum Genius, most solids simply fall into the toilet. If you go with cotton, like a prefold or GroVia , you can lay a biodegradable liner between the baby and the diaper. When baby poops, simply grab the ends of the liner, and plop into toilet to flush. Word of caution: know what kind of plumbing you have in your house before you flush anything besides the norm! For instance, we have a poop-mulcher/pump because our plumbing terminates in our basement, below the grade of the sewer pipe. Having already had to replace the $1700 pump once because a tampon was thrown down the toilet, I don't think that the bioliners will have enough time to biodegrade before they are chewed up and wedged in the pump (and I am not going to test my theory). Same goes for Septic systems. Caveat Emptor.
Definition: A washing and drying process that readies a naturally oily fiber, like cotton and hemp, to become fully absorbent.
Prepping can be a pain, especially when you are excited to start using your diapers right away. But you only have to do it once and it makes all the difference in the world. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! Cotton and Hemp are my favorite diapering materials - but they can be tricky in the beginning. The great thing about natural fibers is that you can beat them up in the washing process and they only get more absorbent and soft.
If you are using plain prefolds or hemp, I will offer you a short-cut. DO NOT do this with the GroVia Soakers or any AIO diapers as it will void the warranty, cause the waterproof material to shrink and render the elastic saggy and worthless.
PREPPING Short-Cut:
|Dawn Original Dishwashing Soap
- Fill 10 quart cooking pot with water.
- Bring to boil. Take off heat.
- Add 2 Tablespoon Dawn Original Dishwashing detergent and stir.
- Add cotton diapers, hemp, etc.
- Cover with lid and leave overnight.
- Throw into washer and wash with detergent and dry once.
- Use on baby.
- Wash on Hot with normal amount of detergent. Rinse.
- Dry on Med-Hi.
- Repeat 5 times.
Once prepped, all of your diapers can be laundered together from here on out.
Ready to Wash?
1) Grab your full diaper pail liner bag. Insert new one.
2) Drag bag to washing machine. Dump diapers in, toss in bag.
3) Set the wash for a Cold prewash/rinse cycle. No detergent.
4) When complete, set to 'Super Cycle' on Warm with the normal amount of detergent and double rinse. DO NOT use super duper HOT water on items that contain PUL or TPU (the waterproofing layer). Hot water will break down the fibers and cause tears, shrinkage, breaking. And will usually void the manufacturer's warranty.
5) Transfer to dryer on medium heat (be sure to read manufacturer's suggestions as well) or sun/line dry for extra energy savings and natural bleaching.
My favorite detergents? (in alphabetical order):
|*Country Save
*Tiny Bubbles from The Natural Baby Company
*Tide Free & Clear (for cotton/natural fibers only - contains enzymes)
What does "stripping" the diapers mean and should I be doing it?
Too much detergent, not enough detergent, well-water, hard water, blah blah blah. If your diapers aren't working the way you think they ought to - or used to - it is time to strip them.
Persistent stink? Repelling fleece/cotton? Leaky diapers? You have residue build up and must get rid of it. Here is how:
For tough stains, try the following:
* Wash every 1-2 days.
* Spray with Bac-Out Stain & Odor Eliminator by Bi-O-Kleen before you put soiled diaper into pail.
* Get a toilet sprayer to blow off all the poop directly into toilet (where it belongs!).
* Lay diaper out in the sun for a day (a natural and free disinfectant).
* Use a bit of OxyClean in the second wash cycle. Use conservatively.
Concerned about Bacteria?
Twice a month, whether we are cloth diapering or not, a good practice is to run a load of sheets, towels, shower curtains, etc with bleach or Hydrogen Peroxide (color-safe). This sanitizes the basin.
Stinky Diaper Pail?:
Simply toss a cloth wipe (or torn piece of t-shirt) with a few drops of tea tree oil on it into your diaper pail and don't close the lid all the way. Wash with your diapers. Air circulation is your friend in the diaper pail.

Seattle bounces back with Chivas defeat
Carson, CA – Seattle Sounders FC bounced back from a disappointing defeat by claiming a 2-0 victory over Chivas USA at the StubHub Center on Saturday.
The Sounders were thrashed in a 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy last time out, but they managed to get back to winning ways upon their return to Carson, Calif., as Obafemi Martins and an own goal from Mario De Luna lifted the visitors to victory.
Seattle (5-4-3) climbs to 18 points on the season to move to within two points of the fifth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Chivas USA (3-8-2) drops its fifth straight league match, extending its winless run to eight games.
Seattle needed just 22 minutes to grab the opening goal as Lamar Neagle unlocked the Chivas defense to release Martins, who proceeded to beat Dan Kennedy with a cheeky chip into the back of the net.
The Goats fell further behind 11 minutes later by way of an own goal that encapsulated the disappointment surrounding the club's season thus far. Mauro Rosales delivered a cross to the back post and De Luna, intending to head the delivery back to Kennedy, turned it into his own net.
Chivas received a lifeline in the 71st minute when Martins was harshly sent off for an alleged kick-out at Gabriel Farfan, but the home side failed to take advantage of the extra man as the Goats experienced defeat for the eighth time this term.

Markus DupreeRequest Him Follow
Model Information
Growing up in Russia, Markus Dupree was raised not to believe in sex before marriage, so when he lost his virginity at 18, he thought that was the girl he would marry! Lucky for him, not to mention his fans, things didn't turn out that way. Markus quickly shook off his conservative upbringing, and within just three months of his first time, he was shooting his first scene for Europe's adult film industry! This Russian stud was taken under the wing of legendary Euro pornstars like Omar Galanti, Steve Holmes, and Rocco Siffredi, who declared him to be Europe's newest porn prodigy. Markus is never one to rest on his laurels, so after making his mark on one side of the Atlantic, he packed his bags and headed to LA, where his good looks, suave playboy charm, and huge cock made him an instant success. Markus even found the woman he really would marry: blonde pornstar Brooke B! He's also been gaining tons of recognition within the industry, earning nine AVN nominations in 2017 alone, with wins for Best DP and Most Outrageous Sex Scene. Watch this sexy rising star to see why Markus is truly a gifted performer.

Ryan Fitzpatrick began his NFL career as a backup quarterback before building himself into a highly-paid starter.
His release from the Buffalo Bills, coupled with his decision to sign with the Tennessee Titans acts as a reset button for the former Harvard star.
"You have to swallow your pride a little bit," Fitzpatrick said Monday, according to The Tennessean. "I felt like Buffalo was the best place for me to start next season, and it didn't work out.
"So when that relationship ended, I knew I was going to be looking at a backup role. I am a competitor. I want to be out there and helping the team win on Sunday, but that's the reality of the situation right now."
Fitzpatrick, 30, is entrenched behind Jake Locker as the No. 2 option on the Titans. He understands his role is to help Locker improve while serving as an insurance policy.
"I had a few options. I wanted to find a nice role for me to come in and help a young guy," Fitzpatrick said. "This was, for me, a great opportunity to come in. I don't know Jake at all. But I want to be there for him and be ready to play if anything happens."
This actually isn't a bad situation for Fitzpatrick. Locker remains a raw prospect who has battled injury issues in his first two NFL seasons. There's always the chance Locker puts it together and becomes the star the Titans envisioned him being.
If that doesn't happen, Fitzpatrick will be ready.

Starlito's newest mixtape Ultimate Warrior is a swirl of ambition, regret, and base desire. It's more a mass of new material than a proper street album, but no less entrancing for it. The Nashville rapper is wildly charismatic and raps in lyrically dense bursts. Even when he adopts familiar topics – drug dealing sagas and misogynist romps – he sits on top of them and sneers at them. Or he transcends them by telling the stories with genuine feeling rather than going through the motions.
Ultimate Warrior starts with "#UW," a title track for the hashtag age and a confrontational and cheeky introduction. Vitriolic peaks excuse the lack of a hook. Starlito raps from the back of his throat in a strangled croak that sounds like he's about to throw up. The anticipative beat serves a hostile, outspoken loudmouth. "Antonio Montana" opens with Starlito reciting Scarface lesson number one, "Don't underestimate the other guy's greed," before breaking into a cackle. He wavers between sardonic and aggressive throughout Ultimate Warrior.
The hi-hat charged beats are a departure from the haughty sample-based production on Renaissance Gangster but for once, I don't miss the East Coast influence. Starlito works with artists I've ignored or long since written off like Drumma Boy, Coop, Fate Eastwood, Don Trip, and Young Buck, but he finds great performances in all of them. The beats are violent and destructive and the riling anthemic hooks are a testament to Starlito's talent as a writer.
"Young & Restless" is the tape's first reprieve from the battering tone and it's the most soberly dark track on Ultimate Warrior. Starlito meticulously tells the story of a friend who was killed when a drug deal went sour. He speaks not as a dubiously appointed narrator, but as a helpless friend who worries about suffering the same fate. "Thousand Eyes" rides the ultimate dealer-turned-rapper high and Starlito and Don Trip feed off each other's energy.
I tend to like every other Starlito project. I found the Step Brothers mixtape with Don Trip too jokey and flippant and the beats not very good. Ultimate Warrior has a sense of humor too. The title references an old professional wrestler and the garish, primitive cover art shows that Starlito doesn't take himself too seriously, even on his darkest songs.
Wale is the biggest name on Ultimate Warrior and the perfect guest for "I'm a Mess," where he, Starlito, Don Trip remorselessly acknowledge their womanizing. Starlito raps his best witticism on "Pissed Off," a torrent of shit-talking in the name of an incarcerated partner, "I'm pissed off, put your tuition on my ignition / Two years at Vanderbilt, that's what my shit cost."
There are missteps on Ultimate Warrior – the token pop singer hook on "Stuck Wit Ya" and the obnoxiously titled "#LolBitchPowPowPow" – but they're drowned out by a relentless rapper who never loses his voice. The tape wraps with two of its strongest tracks. "Gotta Whole Lotta" is a defiant look back at hard fought success and "Right Now" is an absolute reflection on hard times and humble beginnings. It's this humanity that distances Starlito from every other passionate, quick tongued rapper. Every surge of anger and pit of weakness is felt in his voice as well as the content of his lyrics.

We love developers and are constantly amazed by the applications and services created on the Twitter platform. Here are a few examples of automations that enhance the user experience:
1. @Klmfares replies to structured Tweets with airfares:
@taylorharwin Lowest return fare for San Francisco to Paris: USD 1380 Book now: klmf.ly/x0whSD— KLM fares (@KLMfares) May 11, 2012
2. @OHClosings alerts followers about school closures:
2-hour delay: Upper Sandusky EVSD in Wyandot County.— CentralOhio.com (@OHClosings) January 26, 2012
With that said, generally most automation is detrimental to the user experience and frequently results in blocks and suspensions.
As a first step, be sure to review the Twitter Rules as well as the Developer Agreement and Policy to ensure that your integration is compliant. Applications that facilitate or induce users to violate the Twitter Rules or that violate the Developer Agreement and Policy may be subject to enforcement action, including but not limited to having their access to the Twitter API rate limited, suspended, or terminated. Some use cases of automation are permitted only if you have received the prior express consent of the user. Please note that a user authenticating through your application does not constitute express user consent.
Please read the following guidelines carefully as they outline both permitted and prohibited use cases of automation.
If you are an application developer and need policy clarification please don't hesitate to reach out on the Developer Forum or contact us directly.
Automating Tweets
Automating Tweets based on a completed user action
With express user consent, posting an automated Tweet after completing a particular action is permitted. For example, posting a Tweet after a user uploads a video to YouTube, creates a new photo album, or beats a high score is permitted.
Automating Tweets by streaming external information
- Blog feeds: With express user consent, you may post automated updates of a user's own content, such as blog posts, as long as the posts comply with the Twitter Rules.
- Feeds that go through redirects or promotional pages: Posting automated links that redirect through landing or ad pages before the final content is prohibited. Such behavior constitutes the posting of misleading links, which is a violation of the Twitter Rules.
- Feeds for community benefit: With express user consent, you are permitted to create feeds for what Twitter deems to be community benefit, or to provide information to a niche group of users such as local weather feeds or transit information, as long as the posts comply with the Twitter Rules.
Automatically Tweeting to trending topics
Trending topics are the most Tweeted-about topics on Twitter at any moment. Posting automated Tweets to trending topics can degrade the experience for other users and is prohibited.
Automating multiple accounts
Creating and/or automating serial (or multiple) accounts for overlapping use cases is prohibited. For more information about serial or multiple accounts, please see the Twitter Rules.
Automating multiple accounts for what Twitter deems to be community benefit is permitted. For example, applications may automate accounts to Tweet when the Hubble Space Telescope passes overhead, whether these accounts are in San Francisco or Hong Kong.
Automated replies and mentions
The reply and mention functions are intended to make communication between users easier, and automating these processes in order to reach many users is considered an abuse of the feature. If your application creates or facilitates automated reply messages or mentions to many users, the recipients must request or otherwise indicate an intent to be contacted in advance. For example, sending automated replies based on keyword searches is not permitted. Users must also have a clear and easy way to opt-out of receiving automated reply messages and mentions from your application.
Note: media or brands using auto-response campaigns must request approval from Twitter and may be subject to additional rules. Please reach out to your account or partner manager for assistance. If you do not have a partner manager but are interested in managed client services, contact us.
Automated Retweeting
Automation of Retweets often leads to spam and other negative user experiences; therefore, Retweeting in a bulk or automated manner is prohibited. Automated Retweeting is permitted for apps or accounts that Twitter deems to provide a community benefit.
Automated following and unfollowing
You may not use or develop any application that allows for the following or unfollowing of user accounts in a bulk or automated manner. Using block as a means to unfollow users is also not allowed. Accounts and applications that engage in this practice will be suspended. Please also review our Following rules and best practices to ensure you are in compliance. Also note that applications that claim to get users more followers are prohibited under the Twitter Rules.
Automated Direct Messages
With express user consent, automation of Direct Messaging is permitted. If your application sends or facilitates automated Direct Messages, users must request or otherwise indicate an intent to send or receive Direct Messages in advance. Authenticating into an app is not sufficient user consent.
In efforts to prevent spam and protect our users from potentially malicious activity, we discourage sending links in the body of an automated Direct Message, and the action may be denied.
Automated favoriting
You may not develop any application that allows for favoriting of Tweets in a bulk or automated manner. Aggressive favoriting is a violation of the Twitter Rules.
Automated deleting
Deleting Tweets in a bulk or automated manner is permitted only with prior express user consent. Your application must clearly state that in the event Tweets are deleted, they will not be recoverable.

VERGENNES — Lt. Gov. Phil Scott knows what it means to have one's life upended by a fire. A year ago a fire struck his business, DuBois Construction, in Middlesex.
In his keynote address at the Addison County Firefighters Association annual meeting at the Eagles Club in Vergennes last Wednesday evening, Scott shared his personal experience of the dedication and bravery of Vermont firefighters. He recounted the heroic efforts he witnessed as firefighters worked through the night and over the course of several days responding to flare-ups.
