I've been enjoying the 'ornament' item on the front page of The Tribune-Democrat," wrote a reader who identified herself only as "Grandma."
Based on the more than 200 submissions sent to our office, the letter writer probably spoke for a lot of our readers.
We were able to feature only 31 of your favorite holiday decorations on our front pages this month – the rest are posted on our website under "Multimedia" – but they have all been worth reading.
A snapshot of the collection proves what we have known all along: Christmas is about our families, our faith in God, our childhood memories – not about extravagance and materialism.
In fact, many of the favorite decorations were not even pretty to look at. Often they were made by a child. Some were ragged, with parts missing. Some were made of recycled household items with no material value whatsoever.
But to the owners, the worth of their favorite decoration can't be measured.
Helen Gochnour Csikos sent a photo of cardboard Christmas display given to her by her foster parents in 1961. In a particularly poignant letter, Csikos wrote: "It was the first time I remember having a real Christmas with loving parents."
More than one reader sent in a photo of a decoration made or purchased by a loved one no longer living. Joni Phillips of Nanty Glo sent in photos of an angel tree she created following the death of her 15-year-old daughter.
Many of our readers were most attached to handcrafted items. Clare Lasinsky of Ebensburg sent a photo of a floral centerpiece made from her mother's 1946 wedding gown.
Patti Price of Johnstown sent a photo of two stockings hanging from her mantel. She crafted them when her children were young and, in the process, developed a lifelong love of knitting.
Mary Ann Naret of Central City sent a photo of 40 handcrafted stockings hanging by her fireplace.
Maureen O'Connor of Boswell submitted a picture of some of the 1,000 ornaments made by her father, Donald, who at 95 is still crafting.
Sue Kist of Mineral Point shared decorations made from slices of tree trunks and decorated by family members. "I smile when I see how the kids' signatures have changed since their pre-school scribbles," Kist wrote.
Most submissions were about decorations many years old.
Anna Zambotti of Jerome recalled the Christmas her husband was away serving during World War II. "All I had was a box of icicles," she wrote.
Several submissions came from readers who recalled purchasing decorations from one of the once-thriving downtown department stores. The prices paid for the items seem unbelievable by today's standards. Dolly Yonkaski of Dunlo sent a photo of a creche with figurines purchased at Grants store in Windber for 15 cents each.
There were themes, too: A salt-and-pepper shaker collection, a display of Snow Babies. Marilyn Robb of Beaverdale sent a photo of her tree decked out with more than 100 teacups collected over many years.
And then there was Meribeth DeBarto's sixth-grade class at Conemaugh Township Area Middle School that sent in their favorites. The kids made great use of adjectives in describing their decorations and trees. Michaela Slayton described her tree as "big, bulky, luscious." Evan Holsinger said his was "green, spiky and decorated" and Allison Snell wrote about her tree's "amazing properties." (They all deserve an A for this assignment, Ms. DeBarto.)
Actually, everyone who participated deserves an A. Your notes and letters made us laugh, brought back memories and, in some cases, made us cry.
Thanks for taking part.

The salacious secrets of Desperate Housewives meet the aspirational lifestyles of Sex and the City in San Francisco's most elite mommies group.
The Pacific Heights Moms & Tots Club is the most exclusive children's playgroup in all of San Francisco. For the city's ultra-competitive elite, the club's ten annual spots are the ultimate parenting prize.
But not everyone is PHM&TC material. The club's founder, Bettina Connaught Cross, adheres to strict membership rules: Moms only. No single parents or working mothers allowed. Membership is an arduous commitment. And there's no room in the club for scandal, bad behavior, or imperfection…from tots or their moms.
In a world of power and prestige, no one has more than Bettina. And as every mom in Pacific Heights knows, you simply cannot cross her. Will Totlandia's hopeful moms keep up appearances long enough to outlast the competition? Or will their chances—and their private lives—go up in flames?
Totlandia is a four book series that follows our heroines starting with "The Onesies," their inaugural year in the club. Upcoming books—to be released in four episodes each year—will follow subsequent years: the Twosies, Threesies, Foursies, and Fivesies.

By Katie Dahlstrom Herald Staff Writer
The Clinton Herald
---- — CLINTON — Home sales in the Clinton market were down slightly in March compared to February and the numbers are still down from the previous year.
In March, the Clinton Board of Realtors reported that 24 homes were sold, down from the 26 that were sold in February and the 34 homes that were sold in March 2012. So far this year, 67 homes have been sold compared to 100 that had been sold by this point last year.
The Clinton Board of Realtors covers Clinton and Jackson counties in Iowa as well as some listings in Scott County. Clinton Board President Barb Suehl Janis said the decrease in home sales doesn't indicate a lull in the market.
"We were seeing things going up. Now we're kind of backsliding," Suehl Janis said. "But it's still a good market and a busy market."
Across the state, home sales were up .7 percent in March and are up 5 percent so far this year when compared to last year according to a report issued by the Iowa Association of Realtors.
Suehl Janis also said the inventory in the area is down, which could contribute to the lower volume of home sales. Specifically, the amount of one- versus two-story homes on the market contributes to the sales trend.
"Historically, our region has older population than areas where things are booming. The two-story homes don't sell as fast in our area. We need more ranches," Suehl Janis said.
The average sale price of a home in the Clinton area was $73,931, down from $101,341 in March of last year. The average sale price of a home so far this year is $71,250, 20.4 percent less than the $89,5000 average sale price last year.
Suehl Janis, said homes costing upwards of $150,000 have started to garner more attention than they had previously.
"With the interest rates historically low, you can buy so much more house for your money," she said. "If you're going to move and get what you want, now is the time."
The average price of a home in Iowa was $144,372 in March, up 4.4. percent from last March. The average price of a home so far this year is up to $125,000. This represents a 5.9 percent increase over the average sale price of a home from last year.
A home in the Clinton market sat for an average 122 days, a 31.3 percent increase over the 93 days a house sat on the market by the same time last year.
Statewide, houses are sitting on the market for 107 days, down from 120 days during the same period last year.

Although animal bites are not officially notifiable by
state statute, they occur commonly and carry a risk of infection with
various disease agents. Animal bite wounds should be washed immediately
and thoroughly with soap and water. A health care provider should be
promptly consulted about the possible need for antibiotic treatment and
tetanus vaccination.
Because of the possibility of rabies virus transmission,
the biting animal should be captured if it is safe to do so. In the case
of an owned domestic animal, information on the owner and location of
the animal should be obtained. DO NOT DESTROY OR RELEASE AN ANIMAL THAT
HAS BITTEN A PERSON until one consults with a public health official. In
nearly all cases, observation or testing of the animal can eliminate the
need to administer the series of injections to prevent rabies.
Rabies home
Clinicians should know that reporting animal bites for
the purpose of public health follow-up is not considered a
confidentiality breach, nor is it a violation of HIPAA regulations. Bite
reports can be made to the local public health department or to law

And with that, Sketched Comedy draws to a close. I learned an awful, awful lot over the last few years. About cartooning. About comedy. About building a website. About confectionery. (Though that last one is largely unrelated to Sketched Comedy and a complete coincidence, but it was learned all the same.) And now it's time to take all that knowledge and do something more worthwhile with it.
That is, I suppose, a rather blunt way of putting it. I'm proud of the work I've done with Sketched Comedy, but I'm not blind to its flaws. It even makes sense that it has them! When I started this, I had no idea what I was doing. (You, uh, probably noticed that.) Now I sorta do, and I want to do something more.
And that's what Vagabond Starlight is.
I might come back to this some day. I'll certainly have jokes that don't suit Vagabond, but that I'll still want to inflict upon the world. Maybe this could be a good release valve for that? Maybe. Ask me again after I've figured out how to tell a story with silly pictures.
This website ain't goin' anywhere, so the archive will be up for as long as I can pay my server bills. Come by and visit any time!
And I guess that about wraps it up. Thanks, once again, for allowing me to tell my stupid jokes on the Internet. I'll see you space cowboys over at vagabondstarlight.com!
Oh, shit, I almost forgot. Always leave 'em with a song.

I have to admit, I was kinda thinking he was going to take a swing at you.
Thankfully, JPR's fourth directive prevents him from punching Sketched Comedy employees.
I think.
I hope.
Exactly how much time did it require you to post "Sketched Comedy"?
It has got quite a bit of decent material. Many thanks ,Marcos
Well, it ran from February 2011 to March 2013, so roughly two years. And that's averaging about 8 strips a month.

I purchased this to use at work to get some exercise in my work day, I thought I could use it while working at my computer, however, it was not easy to do that, so I use my hour for lunch to get in at least 30 minutes of exercise. I love it, it was easy to assemble and very light weight.
I am recovering from total hip replacement surgery. And back to working a desk. With not being out in the field anymore in my employment, and sitting at a desk for 8-9 hours a day. I felt I needed something to get the "blood flowing" I was amazed how easy it is to use the product. It has an adjustment knob to increase (or decrease) the cycle. Makes me feel real good, that I am doing something to help in my re-hab and to get my strength and wind back, For the money, you can't beat it.
Bought it for my stubborn grandpa to rehab his leg. He loves it and actually uses it. He got my grandmother using it too. Completely worth it for the price.
Easy to put together. Only complaint is that cycle move even with a mat under it.
sturdy enuff ! works fine ! exercise while it's rainung--watching TV & @ a bargain price ! Sweet Deal !! bob

Author Biography | Interview | Books by this Author | Readalikes
Aron Ralston grew up in the Midwest before moving to Colorado when he was twelve, a place where he became an avid outdoorsman. In 2002, he gave up a career as a mechanical engineer in New Mexico and moved to Aspen, Colorado, where among other things he continued his attempt to climb the fifty-nine Colorado peaks of more than 14,000 feet solo in winter (he's more than three-quarters through). Since his accident, he has resumed his life of adventure and discovery.

In the course of writing about your experience was there anything that you
thought twice about including in the book?
No, my objective was to make the book as authentic and genuine a recounting of my experience in Blue John Canyon as I possibly could. The more I could relate what happened without filtering it, the better I hoped to draw readers into my experience.
Your experience is one that arouses a myriad of questions -- after the release of the book, was there anything else you wished you could've added?
Regarding the series of other accidents which I describe in the book, I would have liked to explain more precisely what the lessons were that I took from them and how they applied to my experience in Blue John. For example, I learned from the bear-stalking incident in the Tetons that letting fear and panic interfere with decision making (in one instance, orienteering) skews those decisions for the worse; it is necessary to maintain calm and rational thought processes, all the more so when the consequences are greatest.
You mentioned in the book that you have no regrets about your decision to go on your own and not continue with Megan and Kristi. ...

Haven't used item yet! Wanted to make nutritional food with the kids. It should be better than playing with PLAYDO and you can eat it too I expected some basic pasta recipes to be included with the machine! None provided! Machine use intructions are minimal! I have read other reviews of this machine that were positive and I thought that I would give this pasta machine a shot
I read the reviews, saw the product and it turned out to be exactly as described. The price was right and I am very happy with the result.
Thank you for providing a quality product for a beginner pasta maker. I am very pleased with the performance of my pasta machine. When shopping for the pasta machine; I decided to use the brand that I saw Mario Batalli use. All the parts work and it did not fall apart like the other machine I purchased from another online source. Now I just need to practice to perfect my pastas.
One of the best buys in there fresh pasta is the best
I would definitely recommend - play with the settings, learn how to make all different types of pasta and the taste is absolutely amazing compared to all that dried pasta I bought for years. Now I'm looking for addtional attachments. I have become a homemade pasta junkie.

Its a long and twisty road between being a Depression Okie who was forced to drop out of high school and becoming the worlds leading biographer of the greatest of American authors, Herman Melville.
Hershel Parker has made that journey, and now, as he moves forward in the final quarter of my century, as he put it in an eloquent turn of phrase, the 76-year-old scholar is hard at work on another, complex book about Melville that mixes among other ingredients autobiography, scholarship and theory.
The tall, trim Parker does much of his cogitating on runs along the beach in Morro Bay and digests his ruminations in the Melville room in the hold of the airy hillside house overlooking the Pacific he shares with his wife, Heddy Richter.
His study, as you might imagine, is chock-a-block with books, some new, others musty. Atop a stand that looks as though it was salvaged from the Pequod sits a giant, dog-eared dictionary that Queequeg and Starbuck between them couldnt hoist.
Thats not to say that Parker is buried in a previous century. A computer occupies a prominent place in his chamber, and indeed he is enthusiastic about modern technology the rapid access it gives to new sources of information, as well as the new professional and personal relationships it helps to form.
Parker currently is summing up, to purloin the phrase W. Somerset Maugham used for his autobiography.
Parkers new work, however, has broader aims. While it is in part an autobiography about how he became Melvilles biographer, it also deals with what he calls the sometimes ferocious hostility he and his more meticulous, original source-oriented approach to scholarship have received.
Much of it will be about how biography is done and the challenges biographers face not just Melville scholars, but cast(ing) the Melville problems against a bigger background.
He has titled it Melville: An Inside Narrative, which he calls a gift from Melvilles Billy Budd, Sailor (An Inside Narrative).
This is an esoteric discussion that a newspaper column cannot begin to do justice to. But, as arcane as the subject matter may sound, its hard to escape the feeling that the book will be, in more everyday parlance, a good read.
Parker took an hour or two the other week to talk about scholarship, his legacy, his friendship with the late Maurice Sendak, author of Where the Wild Things Are, and other subjects, literary and otherwise.
A conversation with Parker is a wonderful way to spend time. He is full of thoughts and anecdotes, and expresses them uniquely. The only downside is that when he begins a tale, there is no guarantee he will get to the end because, as with any agile mind, a turn of phrase can send you tacking toward a new but equally entertaining destination.
He would have been a handy guy to have on board a becalmed whaling ship.
Starting at the beginning, Parker said his family had it really, really bad when he was a child.
They left Oklahoma and were on the move often. He developed tuberculosis and was in a sanatorium for a while. He dropped out of high school.
Over the years to come, he went from place to place and took various kinds of jobs, including telegraph operator.
To some extent, although he later completed a formal education, he was self-taught. He read constantly and methodically.
At some point he discovered Melville.
I couldnt believe an American could write that well, he said. The psychology, Parker said, was profound.
Parker went on to immerse himself with Melville in particular and academia in general, forging a distinguished career. He is currently H. Fletcher Brown professor emeritus at the University of Delaware.
Today, he is still at it, finding new ways to challenge young scholars as well as himself, and employing new technology even something as seemingly mundane as Google to ferret out new facts about old writers and works of art.
Literary detectives, he writes, will sit in dark rooms peering at their computer screens, doing their ultimately advanced searches. They will imaginatively misspell (Mellvill, Mellville, Hermann, and more) when accurate spellings turn up nothing.
And they will find something that nobody found before.
Parker says these folks are reach(ing) out their hands for lost treasures. Some he says, are divine amateurs who believe that the facts matters.
And from his crows nest above Morro Bay, Parker, the nonamateur, watches, encourages and joins them.

Brock Blake, Contributor
I write about small business lending, entrepreneurship & being a CEO
When it comes to building a successful company, most investors and business advocates look for companies with an experienced management team. They want someone that has a "successful track record" with experience forming teams, writing business plans, building products, and managing a P&L.
You can't blame them. As with almost everything in life, practice makes perfect and experience provides learning lessons that allow for improvement and growth. While betting on experienced batters can certainly produce doubles, triples, and even home-runs; the grand slams of entrepreneurship come from the young and ill-experienced 20-somethings.
Yes, I said it.
That's not what you're going to read in the textbooks. You won't hear that from a venture capitalist. And, you certainly won't hear that in your MBA classes.
I know, I know. Some of you will say that I am biased because I was a 20-Something young entrepreneur when I started Lendio, but let's look at the facts:
(Some of the) Most Successful Entrepreneurs of our Time and Their (Age):
Anyone else recognize the pattern? Each one of the founders was between the ages of 20 and 26 when they founded what turned out to be one of the most successful companies of our lifetime.
In Pictures: The 10 Most Important Lessons For 20-Something Workers
20-Somethings Have Nothing to Lose
One of the main reasons that young entrepreneurs can build incredibly successful companies is that they really don't have anything to lose. Most of these entrepreneurs are used to living in a cheap college apartment and eating ramen noodles. At that age, the entrepreneur usually doesn't have a mortgage, a car payment, or a built-up lifestyle to maintain.
On the contrary, a more experienced entrepreneur that is starting a company later in life has everything to lose. By this time in their career, they are used to a strong-paying salary. They live in a nice neighborhood with a comfortable car — maybe even a luxury car with a monthly payment attached. When his/her spouse thinks about starting a new company, he/she will also consider the stark reality of losing the comforts of life that they have worked hard to build up during their career. Suddenly, when thinking about all that he/she has to lose, the experienced entrepreneur's plan to build a successful company include hedges, calculated moves, and conservatism.
20-Somethings Can Swing for the Fences
With nothing to lose, young entrepreneurs can look at solving problems with a completely different mindset. There is very little at risk. They aren't required to hedge. And only the thing that crosses the entrepreneur's mind is the drive to solve the identified problem in the best way possible. Fortunately, the young entrepreneur has the energy to consistently burn the midnight candle.
"I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one." — Bill Gates
Finally, without having been in the workplace, the young entrepreneur has a fresh perspective untainted from the way-it-is-supposed-to-be mindset that is so prevalent in most boardrooms. Consequently, their solutions are new, innovative, and groundbreaking.
If You're a 20 Something…
Go for it.
There will never be a better time in your life to live your dream of entrepreneurship. Swing for the fences with a goal to add your name to the prestigious list above. If you fail, it will have been one of the best learning experiences of your life.
You mights also like:
"go big or go home" more like 'go big or go to school' [finish your masters].
:) true it does makes me angry too, realizing that i didn't start to build my company earlier.
Wow thats very good thing you talked about. I am also around 20 but untill now i just wast my time. But after reading this post now i changed my mind. Now i will work hard untill i achieve something new or unique. Thanks marks for sharing it.
Wow, Brock – this is so impressive. Looking at young vs older entrepreneurs – you make a powerful case. Power to you. It's going to be fun to see all the greatest aspects of what you will do. Love your post!
Although failure is never easy, I was thinking it might be easier on a young entrepreneur to bounce back when his/her gamble fails. Here's why: If a young 20-something runs into failure, he/she may be more willing to start over from scratch and try launching a company again in their mid/late 20′s. Contrast that with a 40-something who may feel that time is running out to prepare a nest egg for retirement and for comforts/health care in later years. Instead of starting over, he/she may look for a more traditional job with stable income and health benefits.
The statement is true but its one sided.
The problem with this article is that it seems to discourage older people. AGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS AS AN ENTREPRENEUR. That is the bottom f ing line…..
Stop taking specific examples and generalizing.
I loved reading this! I got to keep reminding myself that the time is now. Thanks!

This week's "My turn" column is by Rob Robinson, president and chief executive officer of the Otsego County Chamber.
We are facing some of the most challenging times most of us have witnessed. All around, we see things we thought were solid fall apart right before our eyes due to greed, lax enforcement and limited personal responsibility.
This is both a threat and an opportunity. At The Otsego County Chamber, our mission is to assist in developing a future that will make our children and grandchildren proud of what we have left them.
To do so, we must take personal responsibility to return basic logic to the role government plays in the lives of our families, employees and citizens.
It is our duty to educate our friends, neighbors and employees how the New York spending glut directly and indirectly affects their paychecks, their ability to advance their careers, the environment they will leave their heirs and our region's economic stability.
New York's financial crisis is not one of revenue, it is one of spending. The cost of government and education continues to outpace the economic growth of our businesses and citizens.
Until the spending binge is controlled, our economy will not be able to develop the economic opportunities to allow for personal income growth in this state.
New York tends to fund itself by adding small fees and taxes on a large variety of items that blur the overall tax bite. These back-door taxes only hide the real cost of government and its need for money.
By example: Look how multiple proposed fees would impact a family moving from Westchester to Otsego County.
What may have been a two-mile trip to the train now has become 50-mile round trip from a new home to the new job. Add to that, now one needs snow tires, maintenance costs on the car increases, and the resale value decreases.

---- — DEC issues hunting guide clarification
Some hunters have been confused by a statement on page 31 of the 2012-13 New York Hunting and Trapping Guide regarding new regulations adopted by the Department of Environmental Conservation, according to a DEC press release.
The text refers to "allowing Deer Management Permits (DMPs, "doe tags") to be used in all seasons in the Northern Zone."
This means that hunters who obtain a DMP for a Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) in the Northern Zone may use that tag during any open deer hunting season in that WMU. The only WMUs with DMPs available this year are 6C, 6G, 6H, 6K and 6R.
Vt. bear-hunting season runs through Nov. 14
Vermont's bear population is now estimated at slightly more than 6,000 black bears, according to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department.
The number of bears has increased during the last two decades and is now higher than the objective of 4,500 to 6,000 bears listed in Vermont's Big Game Management Plan for 2010-20.
Hunters took 396 bears last year in Vermont. A report listing the number of bears taken in each town during the 2011 bear season is available on Vermont Fish and Wildlife's website at (vtfishandwildlife.com). Click on "Hunting and Trapping" and then "Big Game."
Advanced Trapping Course offered
CASTLETON — The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department and Vermont Trapper's Association are offering the seventh-annual Advanced Trapping Course Sept. 21-23 at the Edward F. Kehoe Conservation Camp in Castleton.
The course will teach about the biology of furbearers, productive land and water trapping methods, and fur handling techniques.
Lodging is on-site, and meals will be provided. The cost is $35 per person. Checks must be made payable to the Vermont Trapper's Association. Participants 15 years old and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
For more information or to register, contact: David Gregory, P.O. Box 451, Lyndon Center, VT 05850; or call (802) 626-4390.

Arizona coach says QB Matt Scott is fine
Quarterback Matt Scott, shortly after taking a head-to-head hit from USC safety T.J. McDonald, was spotted vomiting on the field.
He threw a touchdown pass two plays later, but did not return to the game after that, with many figuring he sustained a concussion on the hit.
The Wildcats won the game 39-36 to knock off the No. 9 Trojans, but much of the talk after the game has been centered around the thought that if Scott did a concussion, how was he allowed to continue playing?
According to Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez, the question is moot because his quarterback did not endure a head injury.
"He was pretty nauseous, I guess talking to Matt, all day, and he's been kind of known as a 'puker', you know," Rodriguez told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Tuesday. "Any time he would run in the summer and he'd run a lot it would definitely kind of happen, and he ran a lot in this game."
Scott completed 27 of 50 passes for 369 yards and three touchdowns on the afternoon, and ran the ball 15 times for 100 yards and a score.
But he didn't suffer a concussion.

Coach Rich Rodriguez is on to talk to Doug and Wolf following a huge win against USC. Rich Rod talks about how to prepare for UCLA, Jonathan Franklin in particular. And, we get an update on his quarterback Matt Scott.
"He said 'I'm good coach, what's the next play,' so I called the next couple of plays with him and he was telling me some adjustments and some things like that, so he looked pretty clear-minded to me in that regard."

By Benji Tunnell
Globe Columnist
JOPLIN, Mo. —
Comedians are always looking to break into other media. TV and movies have been the natural progression for many, but the transition hasn't always been smooth.
Where Jerry Seinfeld was able to convert his observational comedy style fairly seamlessly by playing a slightly altered version of himself, someone like Dane Cook has struggled to adapt his obnoxiousness and lack of talent to either the big or small screen.
What it really comes down to is finding a way to move the stage persona to the screen. Once there, the actor can look to expand skills fit for more challenging roles.
When looking at the current crop of comedians, it is hard to spot those who could make the transition. Aziz Ansari and Joel McHale have found success in ensemble shows that don't ask any one person to carry the entire load, but Paul F. Thompkins has had a hard time finding footing in the acting world, and Patton Oswalt has made only limited headway in fostering a movie career.
It seems there is no tried and true formula to replicate comedy success in acting. But that certainly doesn't keep comedians from trying.
Mike Birbiglia has worked in the comedy circuit for years, releasing comedy albums and doing one-man shows. One of those, "Sleepwalk with Me" (available on DVD, Blu-ray and Netflix), was adapted into a movie of the same name, allowing Birbiglia to essentially play himself while trying out the movie waters.
"Sleepwalk" is the story of Matt Pandamiglio (Birbiglia), a bartender and struggling comedian looking to build his career while contemplating the future of his relationship with Abby (Lauren Ambrose).
As his career begins to gain traction and Abby begins to pressure him about marriage and kids, the stress starts to overwhelm Matt and begins manifesting itself in sleepwalking episodes. These episodes range from bizarre to dangerous, and Matt must decide how far to go with Abby and at what point to seek treatment for his sleep disorder.
Co-written and co-directed by Birbiglia, "Sleepwalk" takes its structure and many of its jokes from Birbiglia's own act and albums. The framework of the film shows Matt on the road breaking the fourth wall and addressing the viewer through the camera.
What could have been a cloying or annoying trick actually works well for the story being told, as we are watching a stand-up address the audience, so when he addresses us it seems natural.
Matt knows that he is a flawed person, that he has made mistakes, and he is upfront about them, acknowledging his stupidity as he recounts his tale. Both he and Abby are struggling to come to terms with a dying relationship; the route taken varies but the destination ends up being the same.
Birbiglia comes off as very natural in this role, most likely because he is playing a variation on himself. It's an interesting glimpse into the makings of a career in comedy as he slowly gains acceptance in the comedy community and acclaim on the circuit. I'm not sure how Birbiglia would adapt to a more challenging role, but in this film he comes off as likable, even at his most despicable. He's a sympathetic guy who is lost and doesn't mind admitting it.
Ambrose is also strong in her role as a supportive, frustrated partner. She motivates Matt to pursue his dream, even when that dream means weeks on the road, leaving Abby to sulk in an empty apartment. Ambrose portrays Abby with sadness as well as dignity, strong enough to motivate her man but also strong enough to know that she may not need him.
"Sleepwalk With Me" allows for an introspective look at the life of a comedian as well as the overwhelming confusion of love. It is a small film that aims for bigger things, and for the most part achieves them. Birbiglia is smart enough to know his limitations, and because he works well within those, he creates a sweet, sad and funny story that suits both his comedy and his character.

A little TLC for your investment
Whether you've purchased it for your home or for your business, you computer is a major investment. Especially when you factor in the addition of peripherals like a printer, scanner, and fax machine. Now, while most electronic equipment might seem sturdy on the outside, the internal components are, as it happens, quite delicate. So delicate, in fact, that major irregularities in their power supply — such as lightning strikes or power surges — can cause significant and irreparable damage. Helping you protect your investment against power-source-related damage, APC offers the SurgeArrest PRO8T2 surge protector. The PRO8T2 not only prevents excessive power from reaching up to eight connected devices, it also completely severs the connection to devices when it detects that a surge has compromised its protection circuitry, thereby preventing subsequent surges from reaching your equipment.
No stone unturned
While it is easy to image power surges reaching your computer or other equipment through electrical lines, data-transmission lines provide an often-overlooked source of risk. If your computer or fax machine is connected to a telephone line or other data line, they are at risk of damage from a second source. Accordingly, APC has designed the SurgeArrest PRO8T2 surge protector with power protection for a modem/fax/DSL data lines.
Beyond power
While power surges can cause significant damage to your computer or other connected devices, interference, or "noise", in power supplies can disrupt data transmission and cause operational errors. Ensuring smooth operation of all connected devices, the PRO8T2 offers protection against electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), two of the most common sources of electrical interference.
Included with purchase
The following items are included with the purchase of the APC SurgeArrest PRO8T2: two 1.8m telephone cables, and User manual.
Surging Quality (July 20, 2012)
|Ease of Use
|Overall Rating
Reviewed By: Neil C. - Taylors, SC
This surge protector has a number of factors that make it one of the best, safest, highest quality units available. Its surge trip point is lower than most - meaning that it initiates protection earlier thus minimizing the risk of a lightening strike overpowering the unit to damage protected components. Its phone line protection is very convenient. And its simple outlet arrangement is great for multiple converter plug-ins - a weakness of many surge protectors. Great unit, good price, outstanding support from Vanns.

It's the philosophy that's most bothersome for the Sixers drafting than who they've actually selected this year.
Yesterday the Sixers took Vucevic and Allen in their spots in the Draft. Today, we see why that's bad.
An in-depth breakdown of the Sixers first-round selection, Nikola Vucevic. The USC big man wasn't a popular selection amongst Sixers fans; how does the pick grade out?
Three fun facts to illustrate how incredibly un-athletic Sixers new big man Nikola Vucevic is.
The Sixers selected local big man Lavoy Allen with the 50th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. He was a terrible pick.
What players are still available for the Sixers to select in the second round, with the 50th overall pick?
The Sixers have selected Nikola Vucevic with the 16th pick in the NBA Draft. Brief analysis. More thoughts to come.
The Sixers and Warriors are reportedly "seriously discussing" the Monta Ellis Andre Iguodala trade again. Stay Tuned.
All the coverage you'll ever need about the 2011 NBA Draft from a Philadelphia 76ers perspective.
Bismack Biyombo may be falling due to back and buyout problems. Also, the Kings aren't interested in Andre Iguodala.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
I happen to be one of those crazy busy bodies who really enjoys making a list of "to-do's" that will envelope every hour of the day, but there comes a time when that list begins to smother out my inner soul like water to a flame.
Most days I feel like Wonder Woman, whipping my phone cord across my desk like the lasso of newsworthy truth and kicking my daily planner's hiney into next month's agenda. I'm usually the first person to walk in the office to turn on the lights and breeze through my emails as I intrepidly sip on my bold morning brew. I have at one time, hacked out seven full articles in a single sitting — while diligently listening to the emergency calls that saunter onto the scanner radio.
But despite my best efforts, there is such a thing that we all like to dreadfully call a Monday. This Monday, a migraine made its way into my frontal lobe, the cerebral hemisphere of my brain that is the emotional control center and plays a major role in the planning and execution of every movement. Needless to say, despite my best efforts it wouldn't allow me to play nice, or execute the to-do list of activities I had planned.
Although, I was not going to giving up without a fight. I made calls at the office, conducted interviews, and even went home to make a healthy lunch followed by chores around the house. In addition, I victoriously killed a cunning spider waiting for me to meet its dead stare upon the bathroom floor. As I returned to work to prepare for my evening of meetings and interviews, my early morning successes began to seem small.
The to-do list left for me to do and the list of things to prepare for the next day were too daunting for me to comprehend, meanwhile that cerebral headache of mine just continued to pound. I then forced myself to stop every single thing I was doing to free my mind of the clutter. I simply asked for some divine help and apologized for having the character of a witch, for lack of a better word. My mother taught me better than that.
With a clear mind and sound divine advice I realized that I did not need to measure myself up to my daily successes, and that I had made idols of my achievements. The next step was to just let the day happen and take my time with whatever task that was left to do.
Sometimes, I feel that many of us make the same mistake I found myself making, and need to get very real with themselves in order to allow themselves to be humbled. This, in fact, does take time, but once the humbling begins a peace will run over you like a calm spring flowing down a mountain.
Do not worry about your life. Life is more than food, clothing, work and success. And we are certainly much more valuable than our to-do lists. Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself — each day has enough troubles of its own. Allow the flame inside of you re-ignite, and learn to take each moment for what it is.

There was a change of command ceremony held Friday morning at Fort McCoy.
Col. Derek Sentinela took command of Fort McCoy this Friday. He comes to the base from Washington, where he served at the Pentagon.
And that's where outgoing Commander Danny Nobles is heading. Nobles, who took over command of Fort McCoy just two years ago, is on his way to the Pentagon for his new assignment.
As for Sentinella, he says serving in positions in this country and overseas has prepared him for the command post at Fort McCoy.

This is a fun activity for kids and an easy way to decorate your outdoor or indoor spaces!
With the Valentine's Day holiday around the corner, we thought we would tackle Valentine's boxes to hold all the special love notes that get passed during the holiday party at school. When reviewing our categories of materials we want to play with through the course of this yearly project, the one that stuck out the most was 'recyclables'. The goal of these projects is to have the children be as hands-on as possible, but there is a small step in this project that will need completed by an adult for safety.
First thing you'll need to do is gather some recyclable materials; the most important one being a box, with a lid, that you can repurpose. Shoeboxes work great or a large card file box. You'll also need some thin chipboard—empty cereal boxes are the perfect thickness. Lastly, you need to raid your wrapping paper bin and find something red, yet neutral. If you don't find anything that will work, consider using any print of wrapping paper and turning it inside to have the white side showing. It can always be colored with permanent marker or painted with acrylic paint. An alternative would be to shop the selection at your local dollar store. They often have solid colors or even rolls of Kraft-colored paper (for shipping boxes).
Wrap the bottom of your box and the top of your box separately in the same manner that you would wrap a birthday present, tucking the hangover to the inside of the box and lid. Secure all folds using clear tape. Kids love to help wrap presents.
Adhere a doily to the front of the wrapped box. Punch several hearts from cardstock using the Pop-Up Heart Punch to decorate the box. It is easiest for little hands to use glue dots to adhere these hearts as a liquid adhesive becomes too messy and takes too long to dry.
This step should only be completed by an adult. Use your detail knife, cut a slot large enough for love notes to pass through. Secure the loose wrapping paper with clear tape folded to the inside of the opening.
Cut the front panel from the cereal box. Lay it on a protected work surface and have your child paint the inside of box with acrylic paint. This is best if done in several thin layers. This paint dries rather quickly so it shouldn't take long to cover in 3 or 4 layers of paint. Immediately after painting the last layer, generously sprinkle with heart-shaped confetti and/or glitter. For a more permanent creation, you can wait for the paint to dry, and then paint on a layer of school glue and sprinkle the confetti and glitter over the glue. Set aside to dry.
Once dry, use the heart template to trace a heart onto your painted cereal box. Cut out along traced lines. Use a pencil to make pencil marks approximately ¼" apart from one another starting at the point of the heart. Allow the child to punch holes directly over the markings using a 1/16" Circle Hand Punch.
Cut the end of a 24" length of ribbon at a 45 degree angle and have the child weave the ribbon in and out of the holes much like they would with a set of lacing cards. Tie a bow where the ends meet.
Use Staz-On ink to stamp small love-themed images onto your box.
Embellish the front with the ribbon-laced heart embellishment. Add alphabet stickers to spell the word 'LOVE' or the child's name.
