One worker, but many hats
- Last Updated on 04:50 PM 05/09/13
- BY Tiffany Hudson
She's not your ordinary school employee.
In her two-decades plus career, she has worn multiple hats including cafeteria worker, car driver and bus aide.
Currently Barbara Fallen works at the Halifax County High School cafeteria and as a bus aide on bus 139.
"I have the longest line during lunch. The kids always point out when I'm not smiling. Some of them even call me mama," said Fallen.
Before Fallen worked as a bus aide, she drove a car for the school system for 23 years beginning at C.H. Friend Elementary School.
She recalls one of her most memorable experiences as a car driver was driving two brothers and a cousin all the way to Brookneal, and they began fighting in the car.
"I had to pull over and stop all of them. They are grown now and got a family," said Fallen.
She worked as a car driver for 23 years, served in the cafeteria for 21 years and is on her fourth year as a bus aide.
Over the years she has seen many changes in her jobs as a car driver, cafeteria worker and most recently a bus aide.
Fallen said the dress code has "really changed" referring to the way students dress at the high school now compared to years ago.
The job doesn't come without its difficulties. Employed as a bus aide and working with special needs students, Fallen said she experiences close up how others treat them.
"It's difficult when you see adults laugh at them. It's so sad because they are adults, but they can't help themselves," said Fallen.
However, she added it is a privilege for her to help those students. "It really is a privilege."
Fallen returns to the high school in the summer to stock the drink and snack machines for summer school and said she has done it all when it comes to working in the kitchen.
However, if she could change anything about the school system, she'd change the pay for employees.
"I feel like those who have dedicated their lives to the school system should be paid for their years on the jobs," concluded Fallen.
The tenured employee is always wearing a smile no matter what hat she's wearing.
Fallen resides in South Boston and has two sons, Robert and Bryant.

Downtown Lady
Now, before you start experimenting with this uber-chic mix, let's take a look at how it's being addressed on the S/S 11 runways. The Valentino show offered a subtle interpretation by pairing the Ruffle Front Nylon Jacket with Bow Belt ($2790, 212.772.6969) with the Tailored Gabardine Shorts ($690), yellow Garavani Chain Detail Flats ($675, 212.772.6969), and a caramel-colored Garavani Rockstud Tote ($2075, 212.772.6969). By simply styling the super feminine top with tailored shorts and metal-embellished accessories instead of a flirty skirt and heels, the ensemble is darling without being saccharine, making it a perfect option for a ladies' luncheon. While the looks at Valentino were decidedly sweet and soft, at Nina Ricci, designer Peter Copping infused his signature lace and ruffles with a more masculine energy. In the above runway look, a leather jacket and black Detailed Skirt ($825, available here in Sand) give a ruffle-front blouse some much-needed utilitarian toughness.
Of course a feminine-masculine mix isn't the only way to execute a downtown-lady look! As Loewe and Proenza Schouler so aptly demonstrated on the S/S 11 runways, this smart dressing idea can also by achieved by simply updating classic ladylike pieces. At Loewe, we fell for the leather shift dresses, specifically the walnut-brown version, which was embroidered with tiny laser-cut flower appliqués and styled with leather point-toe pumps and a bow-bedecked headband. (Sadly, none of these pieces are available in the U.S. right now.) Though the outfit definitely has an inherent edginess, the intricate leather detailing gives the look a sweet and youthful vibe. At Proenza Schouler, Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough also used timeless wardrobe staples to create incredible downtown-lady ensembles. In the look featured above, the design duo paired the Printed Shibori Chiffon Blouse ($675, 888.282.6060) and Shibori Skirt ($1350, 718.237.4002) with the orange and pink Terry Tweed Jacket ($1775), resulting in masterful combination of polished nonchalance.
If you're interested in incorporating this delightful blend of chic and cool into your daily rotation, we suggest following in Kate Moss' footsteps. The model/style icon was snapped shopping in Paris earlier this year wearing a version of this look when she stepped out in an amazing Chanel jacket and the French fashion house's classic quilted bag. To take the starch out of these two polished pieces, Moss added a pair of tailored dress shorts, slouchy boots, and a gray wide-brimmed hat. These unfussy pieces inject some masculinity and bohemian spirit into her overall look, resulting in a final outfit that is very accessible and appealing!
Assuming you're ready to try this trend at home, we've gone ahead a pulled a handful of essentials that will help you create your own downtown-lady look. Feel free to mix and match these items to suit your tastes and please don't hesitate to experiment; there are so many ways you can embrace this trend! If your personal style errs on the polished side, try switching out your girly skirts for tailored shorts like ASOS' Premium Tailored Belted Shorts ($81) or 3.1 Phillip Lim's Belted Shorts ($225). If you simply can't separate your feminine blouses from your minis, then simply pick up some tougher accents. For example, Sam Edelman's Lorissa Spike Pumps ($195) have a gunmetal spike heel and crystal details that add a little danger to an otherwise classic shoe. If you prefer edgier ensembles, we have some covetable items for you as well! Try recreating the look at Nina Ricci by pairing ASOS' Triple Ruffle Sleeve Blouse ($54) with DKNY's Black Washed Leather Motorcycle Jacket ($239) and T by Alexander Wang's Ruched Skirt ($110). The resulting outfit is a fun twist on the typical office attire.
For those of you who are interested in incorporating a hint of sophistication a la Moss, be sure to pair you crisp shorts with a ladylike bag, like Forever 21's Small Snakeskin Handbag ($20) or Kate Spade's New York Sugar Hill Janet Crossbody ($225), and a prim, boxy jacket; Zara's Studio Bolero Jacket ($159) and J. Crew's Rialta Tweed Jacket ($250) are two of our favorites. Once you have your bag and jacket picked out, we suggest finishing your look with Steve Madden's Brewster Boots ($130) and Mint by Goorin's Nubby Panama Hat ($34). Last, but certainly not least, if you adore Loewe's modern take on the streamlined shift dress as much as we do, Selected Femme's Leather Sleeveless Dress ($359) and Vince's Leather Shift Dress ($595) are both investment-worthy options that will help you achieve the downtown-lady look with ease!--Jessica Baker

To assist States with the implementation of Article 9 and Part 3 of the Technical Annex, in 2009 the then Coordinator on Generic Preventive Measures, Colonel Jean-Christophe Le Roux of France, developed a questionnaire which serves as a checklist for States to consider when they are developing procedures, guidelines or regulations on the implementation of generic preventive measures. The checklist has been reproduced in full below. It can also be found in Protocol V document CCW/P.V/CONF/2010/6/Add.1, 11 November 2010. Essentially the checklist is a tool to facilitate the implementation of generic preventive measures. While it does not have any legal status, it is hoped that the checklist will clarify various issues, establish best practises and serve to monitor and improve the implementation of generic preventive measures at the national level.

By JAMES COOK
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — The Traverse City Hounds have a full team.
After the Junior A team's first invite-only camp over the weekend, the squad emerged with 12 forwards, eight defensemen and three goaltenders.
"We're sitting pretty good right now," Hounds coach Scott Gardiner said. "We've gotten most of the players we went after."
Two of the top players Gardiner signed out of the camp are goaltender David Krejci — who shares a name with the Boston Bruins star centerman — and forward Dallas McLaughlin.
Krejci is a 6-foot-2, 190-pound goalie from the Czech Republic who has been playing Juniors over there. Former TC Enforcers defenseman Jan Prusa — now a player agent in the Czech Republic — steered Krejci to play for Gardiner, his coach in the now-defunct Continental Elite Hockey League.
"It's kind of neat," Gardiner said. "A guy that played for us is now sending us players. That's great."
McLaughlin (5-7, 160) is somewhat slight in frame, but not in game. He has 44 goals and 91 points in 68 games for Sault Ste. Marie in the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League the past two seasons, with a short eight-game stint on the North American Hockey League's Soo Eagles this season as well.
"He's going to be a big, big player for us," Gardiner said. "He's not that big, but the kid can just fly and score goals. He's going to be one of the top players in the league, for sure. He's really going to fill out a top line and do a lot for us."
The 32-player camp was divided into two teams for the Centre ICE event.
"This camp was different than any other I've done," Gardiner said. "Usually, they're always open tryouts. And this one was a closed, invite-only training camp. It was nice. We had everybody there that we wanted."
That included six veterans from last year's Midwest Junior Hockey League champion Hartland team — Gardiner moved the Hartland franchise to Traverse City — that have moved on to Division 3 hockey. It also included all the players the Hounds had already signed.
The team reports on Sept. 9, taking a break while the Detroit Red Wings hold training camp at Centre ICE from Sept. 12-17 before the Hounds' season starts Oct. 4 at Berkley. TC's home opener is Oct. 11 against Alpena.

I've written a lot about politics in my time as a blogger on this site, and occasionally have taken flak in the comments section from people who believe I am lying when I say, definitively, that "I am not a Democrat."
So I thought I'd explain.
Because I can assume that when people read that I think Republicans are acting like children, or when I say the latest crop of GOP Presidential front-runners are literally definable as idiots, that a black-and-white minded person would instantly assume I must be a proud member of the other party.
But my politics are more complicated than that.
Let's start with what I am definitely not, and work forwards.
I am definitely not a 21st Century Republican. I don't know what's happened in this country in the last fifteen to twenty years, but there's something terrible in the way we've abandoned common sense in approaching and discussing our problems, and I blame that change in rhetoric squarely on the GOP.
In 1988, Republican George HW Bush famously said the words, "Read my lips: no new taxes." He later took a look at the economic recession the country was in, realized he had to fall on his sword to do the right thing for our prosperity, and committed a GOP "sin."
That is a responsible politician.
That, to me, is a Republican who is interested in "country first."
But I believe, as someone who tries to remain as objective as possible, that those responsible sentiments and candidates are few and far between in the GOP, version 2012; so I am sometimes forced — and I do mean that — to default to the Democrats.
And yes, I am almost entirely liberal; that is to say that I believe in responsible forward-thinking, and constantly reviewing our laws for common sense to match the times, rather than a strict interpretation.
I believe we are a liberal country; and I believe it is written in our history. I believe the Founding Fathers were intensely, almost radically liberal, in deciding upon the framework of a nation that was malleable enough to be adjusted later. I believe Lincoln—regardless of his party affiliation—made a liberal decision in freeing the slaves.
I believe religious conservativism brought us the joke of Prohibition, and liberalism brought us its repeal, Women's Suffrage, and the Civil Rights Movement. I believe all the great people our society has ever followed the teachings of— past, present, and future—were Liberals: from Jesus Christ straight through Martin Luther King Jr.
And so, yes, the Democrats have more aligned themselves to my thinking than the Republicans. But let's be clear about something else: I do not strictly associate the concept of liberalism with the Democrat party, either. I don't believe that either of these two parties can claim a monopoly on forward progress in society.
Hell, lately, neither of them can.
As proof, and most importantly, the Democrats have abandoned me on the most important issue in our country today: Education.
Barack Obama, his Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, and local Democrats like Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, are not only allowing the problem of our public school decay to get worse, they are actually accelerating it with programs like "Race to the Top."
They are aligned with historically conservative plans that I (and, I would argue, many researchers and a majority of teachers) believe to be misguided, hackneyed theories based on incorrect assumptions and boldly stupid statistics. Obama believes in the fraudulent illusion of charter schools as a legitimate, apples-to-apples choice for education.
The Democrats are doing nothing to stop the loss of public sector jobs at the state and local level—a fact somehow reversed by the Right — which has thrown away any job security I could have as a relatively new teacher (even with tenure) — and done nothing but talk about the hiring of new teachers when Boomers retire. They assist in perpetuating the pre-supposition that all teachers need to first be "held accountable" before we fix any of the other, myriad of issues that contribute to a student's lack of success.
They were meek in coming to the aid of unions during a Republican onslaught against teachers in 2011. They believe in testing. They believe in Merit Pay. They believe in all the things that a businessman would do to try to reform education.
Except that education is not a business.
Education is not even analogous to running a business. Someone who has been in a classroom and who actually does this job knows that. And now in education, both parties are aligned in turning a deaf ear to teachers' voices in the process of education reform. Their lip service (of late) is commendable. The reality of their actions is deplorable.
And so, yes, I am a liberal.
And yes, I tend to vote for Democrats when there is not a Republican candidate or idea that makes more sense than what they have proposed. But I am stark, raving mad about the way they have abandoned what I consider to be the single most important issue — in perpetuity — in our country.
And that is why I cannot call myself a Democrat.

An interesting phenomenum which only started in recent years is overseas Chinese who have first hand experience and knowledge of living in US, Europe and other places are transferring that knowledge along with what they see and what they experience back to China. The information exchange between Chinese expat and Chinese natives are rapidly happening. I think those dialogs are also helping Chinese in China see through a lot of biases. Both in Chinese own media as well as in Western media. Sadly for the time being Westerners who have never lived in China do not have the same help to see through the biases in their own media.
Chinese has comprehensive international news reporting. It reports every topic you see here. Middle East conflicts, Arabic Spring (contrary to western belief, it was reported in China), EU economy, US election, you name it.
Now I do not agree with Chinese news censorship at all and I think it's high time for freedom of speech in China. But what I found is, even with censorship, Chinese news paints a picture of the outside world that is not that different from what you see. And my impression is Chinese people's views of the outside world is actually A LOT more accurate and less skewed than the outside views of Chinese lives, which are not as bad as some, for one reason or another, desperately want to believe. I wonder why.
most Chinese people don't own computers, let alone have internet access, let alone know how to (and have the courage to) use proxies.
Those in their 20s grew up under the anti-Japan education installed after the Tiananmen Square protests, and belong to the one-child policy generation. They were spoiled by their parents and grand parents like little emperors all their lives. They have little patience and extremely materialistic. It was totally laughable to see them missing Mao's era.

Could someone move this to PI as it doesnt relate to original topic...
The limiting factor is not "middle class" or "education" or "internet access". The limiting factor is interest. And of course only those who are interested will take time to dig deep and seek out multiple sources of information to try to see through biases and propaganda. Much like anywhere else.
And this is exactly what is so different from 20 years ago. When Tiananmen square happened in 1989, everybody, the educated, progressive students, city dwellers, farmers, all were unanimously unhappy with the Chinese government.
It is not nearly true anymore today. The general public (by general public, I mean those who are not particularly interested in politics) opinions have turned less than 180 but more than 90 degrees. And among the traditionally progressive students and intellectuals opinions are very split.
The Chinese people have collectively made a decision and they are living it.
However my argument would be, they should not have needed proxies in the first place. The government should officially remove politic censorship. Not to mention it practically doesn't work anyway.

I keep thinking that there's new information about the skaters. Silly mistake.
shouldn't do it, but as far as security, should not only provide security for japanese skaters but chinese as well.
people do carry hard feelings regarding politics.policies regarding their own government.
which carries over to political judging at competitions.
caroline zhang needs protectiion look at her Political scores.
still doing same old with caroline too bad. wouldn't cheat like other u.s. female ladies,
mikeko - have you ever lived in China for a period of time? Have you ever spoken to anyone who lives here? How about those who lived through the times you're talking about?
All of those who are requesting this be moved to PI - you know all you have to do is ask a moderator, right? I'm not sure that posting it in here works...but you can definitely just PM a moderator and I'm sure they'd move it.
(There is already a thread in PI by the way, maybe the posters in this thread can't access it.)
FWIW I don't think the Japanese skaters will have any problems here, and I think if the JSF decides to pull out, it'll be a real shame, and a total political move (that will, of course, do nothing). There is no such thing as an iron-clad guarantee of safety (or anything else).
This is such a sad and volatile situation. Being able to "assure" security in an arena event would seem impossible to do.
I think this thread has run its course. Hopefully the Japanese skaters will be at Cup of China, but until anything further is announced......
To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.

While the record will show the St. Louis Blues losing 5-4 to Ottawa in a shootout on Tuesday, this was a game that was lost during a painful early stretch in the third period.
A 3-1 Blues lead disappeared during a 2-minute, 35-second span that saw the Senators score three goals to grab the lead. And while the Blues got a goal from defenseman Jordan Leopold to tie it with 8:52 remaining in regulation, they never regained the momentum they held earlier.
Despite firing a season-high 50 shots, the Blues were unable to hold a two-goal lead and missed two chances to close it out in the shootout. They also were 0-for-7 on the power play and are now 25-0-4 when leading after two periods.
"We're probably taking a step the wrong way when we've got the game in good hands," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "We're turning pretty comfortable games into track meets."
Blues winger T.J. Oshie had a goal and assist and said there's no time to sulk with home games Thursday against Boston and Saturday against Winnipeg.
"I think there's things we've got to clean up," Oshie said. "I don't think we've got to get too down on ourselves. The guys that made the mistakes, they know that they made them. We'll clean them up. We're going to be fine."
Kyle Turris won it for the Senators in the shootout's fifth round after the Blues twice failed on opportunities to win it. They scored on their first two shootout chances against Senators goalie Robin Lehner, but he stopped the ones he needed to later.
Lehner had been 0-6 in shootouts, allowing 12 goals on 24 shots. It was 14 goals on 26 attempts after T.J. Oshie and Alexander Steen scored for St. Louis, but Lehner regrouped to stop Vladimir Tarasenko, Kevin Shattenkirk and Maxim Lapierre.
Mika Zibanejad and Stephane Da Costa also scored in the tiebreaker for Ottawa. Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak had been 4-1 in shootouts, allowing just three goals on 16 shots.
Oshie had a goal and an assist in regulation for the Blues, who lost at home to an Eastern Conference opponent for the first time in 10 games this season.
Jason Spezza had his third three-point game of the season and capped a three-goal flurry in a span of 2:35 that gave Ottawa a 4-3 lead midway through the third. Erik Karlsson had a goal and an assist to give him 53 points, best among NHL defensemen. Turris also scored a goal.
Leopold tied it at 11:08 with his first of the season on an odd-angled shot that banged off Lehner.
The attendance of 14,758 was more than 4,000 shy of capacity at the Scottrade Center, the crowd held down by a snowstorm that left roadways clogged.
The Blues also set a season best with 23 shots in a two-goal second period, seemingly taking control with a 3-1 lead despite coming up empty with more than 2 minutes of a two-man advantage.
The puck got lodged in the netting on Oshie's goal that made it 3-2, a score that went unannounced until after Oshie pointed out the puck's location and then the play was reviewed.
"It was still hanging there and people started shoveling the ice and I wanted to argue my case," Oshie said. "I knew it was in."
Ottawa beat Halak for three goals in a span of four shots in the third, with Milan Michalek and Turris scoring. The Senators bounced back from a 2-1 overtime loss at Pittsburgh a night earlier.
Besides scoring his first goal in 38 games with St. Louis over two seasons, Leopold also saved one in the second period. Karlsson's shot trickled between Halak's pads and was on the goal line and still sliding when the defenseman swatted it away.
Turris tied it on a pass that deflected off the skate of a Blues player at 7:02, and Spezza capitalized when the Blues failed to clear the puck out of the zone and beat Halak with a high drive that ticked off the stick of a defenseman for his 15th goal of the season and a 4-3 lead.
Scouting the Bruins
The Blues beat the Bruins 3-2 in a shotout in Boston earlier this season, but the Bruins (36-16-3) have won six of their last seven games.
One positive for the Blues is that the Bruins will be without all-star defenseman Zdeno Chara, who left earlier this week to travel to Russia to carry his native Slovakia's flad in the Winter Olympics opening ceremony Frday in Russia.
Boston plays stingy defense and has the NHL's second-best goals-average at 2.10, but also is among the league leaders in scoring with seven players at 30 points or higher.
That list includes David Krejci (12 goals, 47 points), Jarome Iginla (16 goals, 40 points), Reilly Smith (18 goals, 40 points) and Milan Lucic (16 goals, 39 points).

Bodum's insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass that weighs less than traditional glassware. Used to make scientific lab glass, borosilicate glass (medical grade glass) is stronger than traditional "soda-lime" glass and can be used for everything from drinkware to cookware. Some people may perceive the glass to be "thin" as they hold it. It is important to understand the difference between borosilicate and soda lime glass. Borosilicate glass doesn't need to be as thick as traditional glass to be just as strong. Borosilicate is simply a different type of glass that is resistant to temperature swings and scratching. Because the particles are held together so tightly, borosilicate glass is dishwasher safe and will not become cloudy over time; you can rest assured that after 100 cycles, the glass will be as clear as the day you bought it. Simply treat it as you would any glass product and it will stand up to every day use.
Our insulated, double wall glass is handmade by expert artisans. Because this glass is mouth-blown, each one may have slight differences in height, thickness & weight. We suggest placing the liquid first and then the ice. Please also avoid using metal spoons or placing the glass into a crowded dishwasher. These glasses will help to keep hot drinks warmer and cool drinks cooler. For best results retaining heat, pre-heat the glass before use. Dishwasher & microwave safe.

Can't believe how little the glass weighs, no condensation ring on furniture, and keeps the ice from melting longer.I recommend this product.
These are a Great product,be careful of using these with hot liquids they insulate so well that you might be surprised when you take a sip.I recommend this product.
Just right for how I make coffee.
Pre-warm glass with hot tap water while coffee steeps in double-wall Bodum pitcher for 3 or 4 minutes, then pour through filter directly into this glass. Add hot, frothy milk. But keep ice and spoons away from these glasses, very delicate to knocks. I hand wash and put carefully away each day after coffee.I recommend this product.

Bodum Insulated glasses
I use these to keep my beer cold long enough and value them for performance and perfect shape for enjoyment of quality beer.
Unfortunately at $15 per glass they are about 3 times what I paid 3-4 years ago at Target (by the style is no longer carried by them). They are easily broken by guests who do not understand delicate fragility. Simply tipping over on a granite top, any form of stacking, or, heaven forbid placing in a sink with other dishes.
In stead of hiding them from clutzes I would buy a lot more if the price was lower.I recommend this product.

Great Product
These are great glasses, whether for coffe or shots. They are durable, keep their transparence in the diswasher, water doesn't condense on them, etc. etc.
The only drawback is the wide lip to the glasses, which makes every glass feel like a mug instead of a finely bevelled glass.I recommend this product.

Today at CENTURY 21 Alliance in Lower Providence, we had an excellent presentation on Septic System inspections. As a real estate Broker, I learned a few new things that are important for any homeowner with a septic system, or a buyer contemplating a home with an existing septic system. I was surprised to learn, that unlike other inspections, like Radon, Termite, or Mold, there are absolutely no rules or regulations which govern septic inspections. This means there are no guidelines on what constitutes a proper inspection, nor WHO performs the inspection, nor what should be in a report for a homebuyer. You do not need to be licensed to inspect, nor to write a septic inspection report. This was a huge surprise to me and my associates.
That being said, we learned even more in this session given by Roger Lehmann, of All County and Associates, Inc. Roger is a licensed Sewage Enforcement Officer. He does not repair septic systems, he only inspects them. This is important because you do not necessarily want the same person who repairs the systems to do the inspections. You can imagine why, right?
As for maintenance of a system, you should be sure to follow the guidelines of your local municipalilty as to how often your system is to be pumped. Roger recommends that if your system is younger than 20 years, it should be pumped every 3 years, unless you are using a garbage disposal (they make special septic system disposals). If you are using a disposal, pump your system every 2 years for this age. If your system is older than 40 years, annual pumping is recommended.
When it comes time to sell your home, what type of septic test should you allow the buyer to perform? The first recommendation is to have a licensed Sewage Enforcement officer, like Roger, inspect the entire system. Based on a full inspection which will begin inside the home, to check plumbing connections, leaking toilets, etc, a good inspector will evaluate your entire system. The inspector may, or may not, recommend a Hydraulic Load Test. If a hydraulic load test is recommended by any inspector, a homeowner and homebuyer should do their research. When you do, you will find there are two types of hydraulic load tests. One is a somewhat quick method which floods your system for 40-50 minutes and then the inspector returns the next day or two to see how your system responded. The report will be given based on that 24-48 hour response. However, this type of test does not cause your system to behave as it was designed to do . Septic systems are designed to "rest" in between flushes, shall we say, so a "flooding" of the system is not showing the true response of your system and may result in a false negative on your report.
A method which is preferred by Roger is a Timed Release test. Water is set to flow through your system at timed intervals, which more closely represents how we live each day in a home. This test takes longer as the inspector will come back and evalute how your system responds over a 4 to 9 day period of time. This seems to be a more accurate way to evaluate a system's functionality. But it is important that as a Real Estate Agent or a buyer, that you allow enough response time in your inspection clause which is prepared with your initial offer for the property.
To replace an entire septic system can cost up to $30,000, so you want to be sure to take your time and have it evaluated properly. As a homeowner, you may consider having an inspection as soon as you plan to sell your home. This way you can make any minor repairs necessary and if a major repair is needed, you will consult with your agent about the potential return on any investment you will need to make.
An inspection without the hydraulic load test (because it is not always needed) will run approximately $350. The load test will be an additional fee of around $300. Some firms may be higher or lower. It is customary in Pennsylvania for buyers to pay for all inspections. This fee is in addition to other inspections, such as the Home Inspection, Radon, Termite (Wood Infestation) or Mold tests. These are substantial investments when buying a home, but they could save you lots of money later on. It is very important for buyers to hire a Real Estate professional who will guide them through the process, which begins with getting pre-approved for a mortgage BEFORE you begin looking for a home. The worst thing is for you to find the home you love, pay several hundred dollars for inspections and then find out that you will not get approved for a mortgage because your credit is not good, or you have not worked at your job for long enough. That is another blog for another day!
So whether you are a homeowner wondering how often to pump your system, or a buyer considering purchasing a home, please do your research. Remembering also that companies are not regulated and so, even you or I, could do a septic inspection. Yikes! No thank you! In this day and age, when so much is regulated, it is a wonder that septic inspectors are not.
Always consult an informed Real Estate Professional, preferably a REALTOR (there is a difference!) who will guide you every step of the way! For more information on this or any other real estate topic, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 610-666-0202 to reach a CENTURY 21 Alliance professional. We are here to help make your sale or purchase as easy as possible.

North Jefferson News
An early wave of 3-pointers, followed by second chance opportunities and timely shots put Carbon Hill on the winning end of Friday night's Class 4A Area 8 girls basketball game.
The visiting Bulldogs controlled Corner for the majority of the evening on their way to a 55-47 victory.
"We thought we could win the game and have a chance to tie for the area championship, but they got too many second chances," said Corner coach Jeff Smith.
The Jackets found themselves down only seven after the opening period, despite Carbon Hill connecting on their first three attempts from downtown. Back-to-back threes from Jacket seniors Taylor Sloan and Carrissa Reeves in the final moments of the quarter brought the deficit to single digits.
Corner stayed hot in the second period with Abby Deason coming off the bench to score five points. The Jackets made their final four shots of the half to pull within two, 29-27.
The game was tight before a Bulldog freshman found her bite and did some serious damage. Abby Tittle squared-up from the right side, took the contact and buried a 3-pointer with the foul.
After completing the 4-point play, Tittle took it to the baseline for a backbreaking triple at the third quarter buzzer.
"[Tittle] obviously had a good game," said Smith. "She mad some key shots at the end of the quarter."
Tittle's hot streak put Carbon Hill up 40-33 with eight minutes remaining.
Reeves did her best to please the home crowd. She served as a solid floor general for the Jackets on her way to 16 points. Andrea Debord and Avery Wakefield helped her down low with a combined 15 points and 14 rebounds.

About Us
Medical Services
> Overview
Depression can be a debilitating medical condition. However with proper treatment, it can be effectively managed to help patients return to their normal daily activities and begin enjoying their lives. Treatment for major depression may include outpatient behavioral health care with a professional therapist to determine the causes of depression and treatment options. In some cases, an antidepressant medication may be needed as well. If depression is severe, inpatient care may be required.
Depression affects millions of Americans of all ages. Many of those suffering from depression are not aware that treatment is available to improve their quality of life. People with depression often experience persistent sadness, sleep disruption, changes in appetite, loss of interest in activities, irritability and feelings of hopelessness, death or suicide. Fortunately, depression can be effectively treated with professional therapy and in some cases medication as well. To learn more, stop by our outpatient offices for a free walk-in depression screening M-F between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. or call (616) 355-3926.
SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)
Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) usually begin in late fall and subside in the spring, when daylight hours increase. January and February seem to be the most difficult for SAD sufferers. In addition to the benefits of behavioral health therapy, treatment for SAD involves giving people more of what their bodies need: sunlight. Because few of us have the luxury of escaping to a sunny locale when SAD strikes, artificial light sources may help. Phototherapy or bright light therapy uses a special light box that may help symptoms subside. In some cases, an antidepressant may also be used as part of behavioral health therapy.
Free Walk-In Depression Screenings
If you or someone you know is experiencing depression, stress or anxiety, Behavioral Health Services can help. Our free walk-in depressions screenings give people the opportunity to take a free questionnaire to assess their risk for mood and anxiety disorders and obtain information about treatment. S

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Water solutions are under way for residents in Lexington, and Cleveland County commissioners met for the last time in 2012 without 22-year veteran commissioner George Skinner.
County commissioners Rod Cleveland and Rusty Sullivan bid good-bye to outgoing District 2 County Commissioner George Skinner who is retiring after 22 years of service. Skinner's seat was vacant Monday morning at the County Commission Board meeting because of illness.
"We hope that he gets better and starts getting to enjoy his retirement," said Commissioner Rod Cleveland.
"George (Skinner) has been a good friend and colleague and has brought a lot of leadership," said Commissioner Rusty Sullivan.
Both said Skinner would be missed.
Commissioner-elect Darry Stacy will take the oath of office on Wednesday.
During regular business, Cleveland County Rural Water District Manger Richard Murnan reported to county commissioners on target dates for the ongoing water well project that will serve the city of Lexington and area Department of Corrections facilities.
If all goes as planned in accordance with USDA project guidelines, water should flow by April 2014.
Murnan said attorneys hired by the water district are working on purchase contracts and easements. The Water District Board continues to survey customer interest as well as working to secure the Community Development Block Grant funding that will pay for a 2-inch pipeline. Most of the funding will come from appropriations made available through the USDA.
"Our biggest expense since August has been the archaeological survey," Murnan said.
The primary users will be the city of Lexington which will purchase at least 23 percent of its water supply from the rural water district and the Department of Corrections facilities in the area, namely the Lexington Assessment and Reception Center commonly known as LARC and the Joseph Harp Correctional Center. DOC has committed to purchase 12 percent of the 160 million gallons those facilities use annually from the rural water district.
The district water will come from three or four wells which will tap the Garber-Wellington aquifer at sites on DOC acreage near Lexington.
The city of Lexington currently buys water from Purcell. It uses 104 million gallons of water annually in a normal year and about 112 million gallons in a drought year.
Some private, non-commercial users will be members of the rural water district as well. When the project started around a decade ago, people could sign up for $600, Murnan said. Now the cost is $2,500.
In other county business, the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office reported that there are 364 prisoners in the F. DeWayne Beggs Detention Center. Of those, 85 are Oklahoma Department of Corrections prisoners, 71 of which have received a judgment and sentencing and will ship out as soon as DOC takes them.
The county commissioners approved blanket purchase orders for the following:
· County Commissioners to Shawn Blackburn $600
· District 2 Warehouse to Hydradyne Hydraulics $1,000
· County Health Department to Norman Stamp & Seal Co. $200; Lowe's Companies, Inc. $500
· County Election Board to Eureka Water Company $200
· County Sheriff's office to O'Reilly Automotive $500

Introduction To Archbishop Oscar A. Romero
archbishop oscar a. romero
Oscar A. Romero is one of the greatest symbols of Christian love and solidarity. As Archbishop of El Salvador, Father Romero was a source of strength and hope for the poor and the oppressed of his country. He worked with and for them, taking their struggles as his own. Father Romero wrote and spoke passionately about the need for Christians to work for justice, and he frequently faced threats and danger from those opposed to his ideas.
On March 24, 1980, while celebrating the Eucharist, Archbishop Romero was shot and killed at the altar by a death squad assassin. He paid the highest price for the commitment about which he spoke so often and so eloquently. Because of his courageous stand for justice, he became a martyr not only for poor Salvadorans but for all people struggling to overcome oppression and poverty. Today, his sermons are read as powerful reminders of Christians' obligation to fight for a just society. The example of Romero's courageous life and death continue to inspire those who struggle for human dignity and justice.
Events, Announcements and Links
This year's Oscar A. Romero Award Recipient is Ms. Jessica Franco
Ms. Franco is pursuing an Economics and Theology double major in addition to an International Studies minor. Jessica states that several classes here at BC have "rocked [her] world!" She is currently taking part in the Center for Human Rights and International Justice's Human Rights and Migration Project. Being part of this important project has changed her life.

This is one where they should pack two heads.
The vintage toy head needs some improvement, but I don't want a 200x head on a vintage-styled body. It looked fine on the staction, but a heavy vintage-influenced head is a must for me for this line.
This is one where they should pack two heads.
By the ancients!!!
Lich Leech feedback thread
In a perfect world, I would want Sssqueeze to be like this:
1) A direct translation of the vintage figure's design (head, armor, etc.).
2) He would have two sets of arms; regular and stretched arms that can swap
3) he'd have two sets of hands; regular and snake heads that can swap on the stretched arms
4) his gun is a mechanical weapon, not a pet
In a perfect world he would have bendy arms but alas we do not live in a perfect world . But seriously if he ends up with non-articulated arms like Octavia I'll be passing on yet another snakeman
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
2) Right on!
3) Again, totally with you here.
4) That's a gun? I always thought it was a staff, but since his arms were bendy, he had to have a staff that wrapped around his arms. Either way, like the Horde members so far, I expect him to come with a repaint of the Snake Men staff, especially if there's a lot of new tooling and already extra accessories because of the arms and hands.
Since bendy articulation is off the table, I wonder if they could do something similar to what LEGO did with their Doctor Octopus figure:
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
PoP Figures have to be based on the Vintage toys! This is NOT Filmation's Masters Of The Universe Classics MySpace Custom Blog
Im interested in seeing what they do with a weapon for him. I would be down for a repainted snake staff, and as for the snake accessory he originally came with, I have no idea what it is. i hope they include it,just wondering what it actually is.
I am hoping for a similar head that was on neca statues & also the colours similar too.
1. Classic vs 200x. How do you want Sssqueeze. Different armours and different heads or 2 separate characters?
Same characters, just update the head to a more snakelike look. 200X armor, but please give TJ's legs a rest.
2. The arms - how would you want Sssqueeze's arms - as attachment? As bendable rubbery plastic with a wire?
Well we know bendy is out. So I'd like to see extensions, use arms that plug into the wrists like TJ, HP, etc.., same or similar length of his existing arms. Give those arms the snake heads with the same joint. You could use either hands or heads, and get more than one Ssssqueez and have arms around the block.
3. The snake gun - should it be more "pet" snake or more mechanical?
Pet. I haven't seen a snakeman with a gun. KK doesn't count, he's a descendant, not a snakeman.
4. Should any other parts of Sssqueeze (e.g. the neck/legs) have the same feature as the arms?
Just the arms.
"My manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved. Do you suppose I care? A poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking for others!"
Marquis de Sade
"The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves."
George Washington
My B/S/T list
I bet squeeeze will be The next figure reveal.
Clearly the teeth on the vintage figure were a mistake and not supposed to be painted white, like flat human teeth, lol. I think the "teeth" were supposed the be the same color green as the figure.

CNHI News Service
DES MOINES, Iowa – Under the unintentional dimmed lights of Wells Fargo Arena, Oklahoma State's Chris Perry clinched a spot in Saturday's championship match with a sudden victory win over Nebraska's Robert Kokesh on Friday in the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.
It is the first trip to the title round for the Stillwater High graduate, who finished third last year to earn All-American honors. He was unable to hold back his emotions after getting the takedown in the first overtime period – pumping his fists and screaming.
"It's just been a dream of mine since I was a little kid to walk on that stage. I've had it on the background of my phone since I was in the ninth-grade, the NCAA finals stage," Perry said. "... This is where I wanted to be forever and now I can let it fly."
The match took a unique turn in the third period when, during a delay in action to fix Perry's headgear, the main lights went out in the arena. There was still enough light to finish the match, which was wrestled in low light.
"It was kind of weird. It reminded me of the Super Bowl a little bit, you know," Perry said. "It was kind of like everything was kinda going good and you had to regroup a little bit. But it is what it is."
Perry, who in the first two days has looked similar to the first-half performance of the San Francisco 49ers in that Super Bowl, believes it's time for him to perform like the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens.
"I know this whole tournament has been pretty ugly for me," said Perry, who will take on second seed Mathew Brown of Penn State in the 174-pound championship. "If I was a fan, I wouldn't probably be a fan of me and the way I'm wrestling right now, but I feel like I got a lot to prove (Saturday)."
Perry is one of just two OSU wrestlers to have an unblemished Friday to reach the championship round – joining now three-time finalist Jordan Oliver. The Cowboys have fallen further behind two-time reigning champion Penn State – which has five finalists – due to the rough day, and sit in second with 94 points while the Lions stand at 114.5 points.
Wrestleback action begins at 10 a.m. today with the Cowboys having five wrestlers – Jon Morrison, Alex Dieringer, Tyler Caldwell, Blake Rosholt and Gelogaev – competing in medal-round matches. The championships will begin at 7 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN (Suddenlink channel 31).
OU's Maple in the finals
Kendric Maple becomes the first Sooner to make the NCAA Championship finals since 2011, following his 4-0 semifinals decision over The Citadel's No. 6 Undrakhbayer Khishignyam on Friday night in the Wells Fargo Arena in front of 16,131 onlookers.
"It's not quite the match that I wanted, but you need to get it done no matter how it happens," explained Maple. "It will all be different tomorrow."
Maple secured his first NCAA Championship appearance with a takedown in the first period to go up, 2-0. The Wichita, Kan., native would add an escape in the second and collect a bonus point with riding time to blank Khishignyam (4-0) in the semifinal bout and earn his ticket to the big stage for tonight.
The two-time All American will face a familiar foe on Saturday night in Edinboro's No. 4 Mitchell Port.
