We have a small kitchen and previously had a 42" round table that took up too much room. The island is the perfect size and provides us with additional prep space as well as a perfect place for the two of us to dine.
I just assembled this piece today. It is absolutely gorgeous. Assembly did take some time, but I am a single white female and I read and follow all the instructions. Thanks to the strategically placed wooden dowels, you couldnt assemble this piece incorrectly if you wanted to. I am very pleased with my purchase. The top did receive a bit of damage during shipping but I am going to contact them now about a replacement. This really was the freight carriers fault it appears.
The other reviewers were right the two boxes this item came in were HEAVY!!! My UPS delivery man must be hating me right now. But it was definitely worth the effort. As soon as I took the item out of the box I recognized the excellent quality of the material. It does take a full afternoon to put together and you need to be VERY careful to put the pieces together in the right order because it would be nearly impossible to reserve yourself. But the end result is one of the most beautiful kitchen islands I have ever seen and at this price range it is a real steel. I am a very picky consumer but I can say without any qualification this wa one of the best furniture items I've bought in a long time. I have been using it for a few months now without any problem. My only warning i make sure you pick a kitchen island that matches the rest of your kithcen you dont want one that is a different color or material. Also make sure your kitchen island is the same height as your kitchen counters or it will look wrong.
It's beautiful...it looks just like the picture..it would have been simple to put it together,even though you needed two people to do it, except for the carelessness of the factory drilled holes. I mean really, there were not that many, but out of maybe 8 (not real sure of the total) at least 3 were drilled at an angle where you had to MAKE it work or they were just enough off center you had to drill a new hole. I think it will be fine as long as I never have to move it...it's just a shame no more care was taken with it...
This piece is a great addition to my cottage style kitchen; matches my other pieces perfectly. Arrived with no damage and was securely packaged. The island is a substantial piece; very solid, weighty and well made. It took my husband and I about an hour to put together with no issues; instructions were very clear. The storage is great; I was able to put my Christmas plates, bowls, wine glasses and wine opener on the upper portion of the cabinet. On the lower portion, I have my cutting boards, kitchen towels, place mats and extra serving pieces. The shelves on either side of the island legs are an added bonus; I have used them for some of my mugs, holiday decorations and smaller cookbooks. The top of the island is great as well; more than enough room for a cutting board, knives, centerpiece, candles or other decorations. I can't say one bad thing about this island and I highly recommend it to everyone.
The only complaint I have is that hardware was missing and my I had to make several trips to the hardware store to purchase them. I did not call to see if they could be sent because I had to have it put together asap.
When my friends saw this they were green with envy...My husband put this one together it wasn't that easy alone but when I got home I fell in love with it. We use it every single day.
My husband said it went together easily. It is just as pictured. It is absolutely beautiful and I love the extra storage it provides. The extra work top is a nice addition also. I highly recommend this product if you are in the need of a beautiful practical piece!
Everything I expected looks great in my kitchen I LOOKED A LONG TIME AND IT IS PERFECT
This is just the perfect size. Not too overwhelming and very stylish for a colonial home. I love the drawers that can be accessed on both sides. The top goes well with my oak cabinets. The shelves on the ends are not very high but great for coffee mugs or spices. I can also fit a quart ball jar on the top shelf. I love it and have had lots of compliments.

John Tyndall (August 2, 1820 – December 4, 1893) was an Irish physicist.
- We have heard much of Faraday's gentleness and sweetness and tenderness. It is all true, but it is very incomplete. You cannot resolve a powerful nature into these elements, and Faraday's character would have been less admirable than it was had it not embraced forces and tendencies to which the silky adjectives "gentle" and "tender" would by no means apply. Underneath his sweetness and gentleness was the heat of a volcano. He was a man of excitable and fiery nature; but through high self-discipline he had converted the fire into a central glow and motive power of life, instead of permitting it to waste itself in useless passion.

WINNSBORO — The Malakoff Tigers' bid to claim a share of the District 7-2A, Division 1 championship was rejected in convincing fashion Friday night, but it's still on to the postseason for Coach Jamie Driskell's squad.
The Tigers, who needed a win over the Red Raiders to forge a deadlock at the top of the district standings, lost to Winnsboro, 50-21. Even so, the Tigers will advance to the playoffs as the district's No. 2 seed and will face Redwater, the No. 3 seed in 8-2A.
The Malakoff-Redwater game is scheduled Friday at Gladewater. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
Malakoff, 7-3 overall, finished tied with Eustace for the runner-up position behind Winnsboro (7-3, 6-0), but the Tigers dropped a 30-16 decision to the Bulldogs, which gave Coach Brian Herman's squad the edge for the No. 2 playoff position. Eustace was a 28-21 winner against Lone Oak Friday night.
The Tigers trailed 29-7 at halftime and could never get in the game.
Keonte Ross led the Malakoff effort.
Malakoff will be entering the playoffs next week for an unprecedented fourth straight year. In Driskell's four years at the helm of the Malakoff program, which was a combined 1-19 the two season before he arrived, the Tigers are are 33-11.

Trends: What's hot at this year's SXSW?
The annual SXSW music, film and interactive conference and festival, held in Austin, Texas is kicking off today but what trends can we expect to dominate chatter over the next week?
Global social media agency We Are Social has analysed the titles of all the events listed in the 2014 SXSW interactive schedule and have produced a word cloud to find the most frequently occurring words reflecting the biggest trends this year – if gaming, social and startups are high on your agenda then you won't be disappointed.
"The topics of discussion at SXSW clearly point to broader trends in the world of tech and marketing," says We Are Social's global managing director Robin Grant. "Social media remains an obsession of the industry as a whole, while big data is still grabbing some attention. What's more reflective of emerging trends is how 'maker' is marginally bigger than 'entrepreneur' and 'making' is bigger than 'marketing'."

By Tim Graham
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The Buffalo Bills have nothing left to play for except proving they made progress this year with a better and more expensive roster.
The Bills will finish their road schedule this afternoon against the Miami Dolphins and then host the New York Jets next Sunday in the season finale.
A couple of victories could save jobs because the Bills would finish with a 3-3 divisional record and an overall mark of 7-9, one more win than last year.
Here is a digest of items about today's game ...
Point spread: Bills +4.5. The over/under total is 41.5 points. For Las Vegas oddsmaker and St. Joe's grad Joel Staniszewski's thoughts from a betting perspective, check out this week's "On the line from Vegas" blog.
Weather report: The Weather Channel forecast for kickoff is 76 degrees, with 55 percent humidity, a 10 percent chance of rain and 9 mph winds.
Matchups to watch: Edge rushers against rookie offensive tackles. Two of the NFL's most talented pass-rushers will face inexperienced left tackles today. Bills defensive end Mario Williams on occasion will line up against Dolphins left tackle Jonathan Martin, the replacement for injured Pro Bowler Jake Long. Listed as the Dolphins' top right tackle is Nate Garner, a fifth-year pro with two starts this year.
Dolphins pressure monger Cameron Wake, who lines up on the right side, will square off against Bills second-round draft choice Cordy Glenn. Wake ranks fourth in the NFL with 14 sacks. He recorded one against the Bills in Week 11.
Milestone watch: Bills receiver Stevie Johnson needs 109 yards to record 1,000 yards for a third straight season. ... Johnson's next catch will give him 70 for a third straight season, joining Andre Reed as the only Bills to do so. ... Buffalo tight end Scott Chandler is one touchdown reception away from breaking Buffalo's record for TD catches by a tight end.
Correction: An announcement made in the Rogers Centre press box last week and repeated several times by The Buffalo News and every other news outlet was wrong. C.J. Spiller did not reach 1,000 yards in the second-fewest carries behind Beattie Feathers in 1934. Michael Vick in 2006 and Chris Johnson in 2009 reached 1,000 on fewer carries, making Spiller fourth all-time in this stat.
The Buffalo News has you covered throughout the day. Buffalo News columnists Jerry Sullivan and reporters Mark Gaughan and I will be in the Sun Life Stadium press box. Photographer James P. McCoy will be shooting from the sidelines throughout the game.
News reporter Jay Skurski will moderate our live chat from noon until 5 p.m. "[BN] the Huddle," our postgame webcast, will begin at 7:30 p.m. Hosted by Lauren Mariacher, our game recap will include reports from South Florida and analysis from One News Plaza staffers.
Today's game is being televised by CBS and broadcast locally on WIVB Channel 4. St. Joe's grad Don Criqui will call the play-by-play with Randy Cross adding analysis.
Did you know? Spiller today can become the first Bills player since Thurman Thomas in 1992 to notch 10 games with at least 100 yards from scrimmage in a season.
Bills all-time games versus the Dolphins: The Dolphins lead the all-time series, 56-34-1. O.J. Simpson rushed for 203 yards in 1976. Joe Ferguson passed for 419 yards in 1983. Eric Moulds had 196 receiving yards in 2001.

Covering the worlds of data security, privacy and hacker culture.
Updated with more details of Apple's response below.
Until it was revealed last week that more than half a million Macs were infected with Flashback malware, Apple had little experience working with the community of security researchers who aim to dissect and shut down botnets. And according to the firm that discovered this new outbreak, it could use a lesson in teamwork.
Boris Sharov, chief executive of the Moscow-based security firm Dr. Web says he learned Monday from the Russian Web registrar Reggi.ru that Apple had requested the registrar shut down one of its domains, which Apple said was being used as a "command and control" server for the hundreds of thousands of PCs infected with Flashback. In fact, that domain was one of three that Dr. Web has been using as a spoofed command and control server–what researchers call a "sinkhole"–to monitor the collection of hijacked machines and try to understand their behavior, the technique which allowed the firm to first report the size of Apple's botnet last week.
"They told the registrar this [domain] is involved in a malicious scheme. Which would be true if we weren't the ones controlling it and not doing any harm to users," says Sharov. "This seems to mean that Apple is not considering our work as a help. It's just annoying them."
Sharov believes that Apple's attempt to shut down its monitoring server was an honest mistake. But it's a symptom of the company's typically tight-lipped attitude. In fact, Sharov says that since Dr. Web first contacted Apple to share its findings about the unprecedented Mac-based botnet, it hasn't received a response. "We've given them all the data we have," he says. "We've heard nothing from them until this."
I've contacted Apple for comment, but haven't yet heard back from the company either.
In Apple's defense, it may not have recognized Dr. Web as a credible security firm when the company contacted Apple earlier this month–I hadn't heard of the firm either until its discovery and analysis of the Flashback botnet. But the better-known security firm Kaspersky confirmed Dr. Web's findings on Friday. A Kaspersky representative said it hadn't contacted Apple with its findings and hadn't had any direct communication with Apple, and Kaspersky researcher Kurt Baumgartner wrote in a statement that "from what we've seen, Apple is taking appropriate action by working with the larger internet security community to shut down the Flashfake [also known as Flashback] C2 domains. Apple works vigorously to protect its brand and wants to rectify this." Kaspersky wouldn't offer more details on how Apple is working with the security community.
Update: Apple now says it will release a Flashback removal tool and is "working with ISPs worldwide" to disable the botnet's command and control servers.
Locating and shutting down command and control servers is typical practice for a company trying to behead and cripple a botnet targeting its computers. Sharov says that Dr. Web has worked with Microsoft several times in the past on those efforts. But Apple, which has never dealt with a botnet the size of the Flashback infection, has fewer ties to firms like Dr. Web, Sharov says. "For Microsoft, we have all the security response team's addresses," he says. "We don't know the antivirus group inside Apple."
Sharov, like others, criticizes Apple for its delay in issuing a patch for a security vulnerability in Java that the Flashback malware exploited to invisibly install itself on Macs when users visit infected web pages. The bug was patched by Oracle in February, but Apple didn't fix the flaw until earlier this month. "Their response should have been much earlier when they should have updated their Java," says Sharov. "Now calling registrars to shut down domains is not as important. The infection has already taken place. There are dozens of domains [controlling] the botnet. Shutting down one does nothing."
(Read about how to check your computer for Flashback and remove it here.)
Dr. Web and Kaspersky both estimate that more than 600,000 Macs are infected with Flashback, which would represent more than 1% of all of Apple's PCs. So far, the botnet is being used for click fraud rather than credit card theft. But its sheer size represents a shift in the cybercriminal underground, which has long ignored Macs to focus on Windows' larger market share.
Apple's less-than-diplomatic handling of Dr. Web's work wouldn't be the first time it's raised the hackles of the security research community. When well-known Apple researcher Charlie Miller created a proof-of-concept app demonstrating a flaw in Apple's security restrictions, the company responded by revoking his developer's license.
Sharov says he can understand Apple's brusque response to his researchers' work. "These are not pleasant days for them," he says. "They're not thinking about us. The safety of Macintosh computers is going down very quickly, and they're thinking what to do next. They're thinking about how to manage a future where the Mac is no longer safe."
Oh, sorry. I read "tries to cut off its server" as more active and non-cooperative than "requested the registrar shut down one of its domains" and didn't recognize them as the same.
Not surprising on the response from Apple.
If they had welcomed the news and immediately worked with the security groups and users I probably would have fallen over in shock.
They are 45mph, eyes closed, brick wall closing fast….
They'll learn. Unfortunately it is the users who are hurt.
Dr Web stated, "The safety of Macintosh computers is going down very quickly, and they're thinking what to do next. They're thinking about how to manage a future where the Mac is no longer safe."
Wow. There a few things more vindictive than a jilted lover. Well, no worries, Dr Web; I'm sure Microsoft will welcome you with open arms.
I'm getting alerts that this web site is a potential Flash plug-in risk, the irony.
Any and all OS's that are designed to run executable code are vulnerable to running 'bad executable code' .. It's pretty clear that the only reason Mac OSX has stayed out of 'trouble' is because malware writers just haven't been interested in creating code for it. The real bad part about it is Apple's attitude towards dealing with it. I sincerely hope this helps bring them down from "the clouds" (pun intended of course) back to earth.
I have had a hard time finding out in all the stories just how a user is infected by this bot. Can you enlighten? I understand the vulnerability, but it seems the user was also somehow involved – tricked into running a bogus installer, or lured to a bogus website. Is this true? Or did this trojan install itself with NO user interaction or permission given?
And no, Apple users do not feel invulnerable. Complacent, yes. But the lure of headlines to be the first to run rampant thru Macs has been out there for years, so I'm not sure I buy the "not enough of a target, yet" argument.
Last, the overall state of the major OSes today in their ability to defend themselves, is so vastly improved over years past. There will always be those who can find and wiggle through cracks, so no one is ever safe and secure. But I think it's better than it's ever been, for the average user. IMHO.
It is interesting that the vulnerability that provided the door to the Flashback trojan was in Java. This makes non-Windows platforms vulnerable to the extent that there is a common-mode vulnerability in a library or the JVM itself. Apple's problem was that, because they roll their own Java release, they allowed far too much time to go between the Oracle release of the security update to their consumers and made the vulnerability known thereby.
A clue that I had recently was when I performed a full system scan on my Windows 7 system using Microsoft Security Essentials. MSE found and quarantined a few files that were in the Java installer cache. These might have been residue of older Jave editions. (I keep my Java installation updated, and my system and anti-virus are kept current.) I will be doing full system scans more regularly now, though.
The delay between disclosure of a vulnerability and any exploit has a problem with bundles that are redistributed on various open-source systems also. For example, a vulnerability that can be exploited in crafted ODF 1.2 documents impacts all of the OpenOffice.org-lineage releases since OpenOffice.org 3.0. While the latest LibreOffice releases remove the vulnerability, it will be some time before Linux distributions provide those versions in their platform-based bundles. Although the Apache project released an out-of-cycle patch for OpenOffice.org 3.3.0, that requires knowledgeable users to obtain the patch and apply it. Upon pending Apache OpenOffice 3.4 release, that door will be closed more easily, but not for users who remain on earlier, unpatched OO.o 3.x releases and their descendants from other sources.
I suppose the lesson is that the systems for deployment and the reticence or inability of users to keep current all add lag and extend the window in which a vulnerability can be exploited profitably. That a producer adds to that delay by failing to have an update available does not help and it should be embarassing when a serious exploit drives through that unguarded entrance. Unfortunately, response to embarassment is not always process improvement and heightened trustworthiness.

One shot near uptown diner
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- One man is behind bars after a shooting near a popular South End diner early Thursday morning.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said one person was shot off of Morehead Square Drive near the Midnight Diner in the South End around 3 a.m.
(Click here to see images from the scene)
The shooting took place in the parking lot between the diner and the nearby Uptown Cabaret strip club.
Police had been called a short time earlier to deal with a problem at the Uptown Cabaret, according to NBC Charlotte news partner The Charlotte Observer.
The victim, 23-year-old Langston Giles, was taken to Carolinas Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. Police briefly closed part of Carson Boulevard while they conducted an investigation.
Bryan Stephen Thomas, 30, was arrested late Thursday afternoon and charged with attempted armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
"Upon officers' arrival they observed a suspicious male standing up from behind a vehicle and walk towards the diner," CMPD said in a statement. "The male matched a suspect description that officers were given as they arrived on scene."
Police say Thomas approached Giles and a second victim and tried to rob them, firing a pair of gunshots during the altercation. Officers said they recovered the gun used during the crime.
The diner was also closed for a couple of hours during the investigation, but it reopened shortly before 8 a.m.

It's certainly not hard to find a bar in the town of Luang Prabang. Laos' second largest city has a population of roughly 6,000, and it swells with a heavy tourist influx when the wet season turns to dry and the moist, hot air gives way to cooler temperatures and misty afternoons. The air carries the scent of the slash-and-burn agriculture practiced on the hillsides, and there's a Rudyard Kipling-era romance that makes little Luang Prabang feel like a lost part of the planet, recently rediscovered.
At night, woven tapestries are placed on top of rickety teak tables, lotus lanterns scatter colored light and you can settle in to people watch on streets that are among the most clean, friendly and safe in all of Southeast Asia.
Apparently the local government is not wild about all-night parties, loud nightclubs and drunken tourists. There's a modesty here that keeps it quiet and charming. May it ever remain so, because the sleepy ease is 99 percent of the allure. The Elephant is the town's nicest restaurant, with a French menu, bright yellow walls, high ceilings, open-air seating, rich wood floors and an extensive wine list. The regional Miele Guide voted it one of "Asia's Finest" for 2011 and 2012. If you crave a good glass of wine, a fine Scotch or a snifter of Cognac, this is your spot. The back page of the menu stays native with excellent dishes like Praneng Kai (about $10) — a mix of shredded chicken, minced pork and buffalo skin in coconut milk sauce — which accompanies a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc exceptionally well.

Part cooking school, part restaurant/bar, part book exchange, Tamnak Lao is located in the dead center of town in a beautifully restored colonial building and run by a local family. Booking one of their signature cooking classes from 5:30-7 p.m. equals enjoying your Happy Hour in a whole new way. A skilled local chef demonstrates four separate dishes, allowing you to cook two of your choice ($20). The book exchange attached to the restaurant and bar has more than 1,000 titles, and you can exchange one-for-one if you bring a book or simply purchase outright. After your class, grab a novel and a cold beer for a quiet night on the bar's upstairs terrace. It's an excellent end to a fantastic day in Luang Prabang.

Capital Improvement Program
The Capital Improvement Program for Texas Tech University is a method for university colleges, departments and areas to identify and submit their facility construction and renovation needs for approval and funding consideration. The procedures for using the program are found in TTU OP 61.36.
Once per year, the Physical Plant sends out requests to pre-identified departments / college areas and Vice Presidents (Distribution List) to update their respective project lists for the next fiscal year's funding cycle.
After the projects are submitted and prioritized by the requesting organization, the projects are maintained by categories based on the estimated cost of the project. The category project listings are:
- Minor construction or renovation ($0-50,000);
- Intermediate construction or renovation (>$50,000-$300,000);
- Major construction or renovation (>$300,000)
Major construction and renovation projects are considered for inclusion in the university Five-Year Capital Projects Plan administered by the office of Facilities Planning and Construction. After funding is identified, the projects are submitted to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for approval via the Campus Master Plan.
Minor and Intermediate projects are submitted to the Facility Allocation Council (FAC) on an annual basis for approval and funding.
For information or questions concerning the Capital Improvement Program, please contact:

clek Kids' Car Seat Toys
Fun, colorful car-seat toys keep your little one entertained so that you can focus on driving. Choose interactive, age-appropriate options such as activity centers, rattles, mirrors, and soft toys. It's a good idea to opt for items that clip onto the car seat, as that will keep them from falling on the floor or flying around the vehicle.

Last summer snow globes got a reprieve when the Transportation Security Administration relaxed the rule that banned the water-filled tchotchkes from carry-on luggage. But in the clear-eyed cold of winter, it's small comfort -- very small comfort -- as the holiday season approaches.
Snow Globe Central of Denver points out the TSA allows only snow globes that appear to "contain less than 3.4 ounces (approximately tennis ball size.)" But the most popular snow globes are bigger, and carry much more liquid.

The UCLA team that escaped UC Irvine couldn't be found. The Bruins basketball squad that couldn't play up-tempo went AWOL.
In their place, a new unit made its season debut Thursday against James Madison.
It poured in points with a pace Lakers Coach Mike D'Antoni would adore, and it lighted up Pauley Pavilion's new LED video boards with highlights their fans have craved.

HIS-3167 Women in Vermont History
3 credits
Prerequisite: None.
As late as the 1970s, women were almost entirely written out of Vermont history. Women's historians have made considerable strides in correcting this gross omission. This course has been developed to, first and foremost, retell the "Vermont Story" from the vantage point of women's experiences and, second, to provide a methods for bringing women into the curriculum. It will be taught in a compressed format and meet for one week during the summer. Students will be expected to complete the required readings before the course begins and to submit an original research project one month after the course ends.

MARANA, Ariz. — Even in the most stressful form of golf, Matt Kuchar and his easy smile made the Match Play Championship look like a weekend game with his buddies.
It was fun when he built a 4-up lead at the turn. And when Hunter Mahan threw his best golf at him during a wild back nine Sunday at Dove Mountain, Kuchar never looked rattled, never felt as if the match belonged to anyone but him, and never lost the lead.
Kuchar kept momentum on his side with four birdies on the back nine, the last conceded on the 17th hole for a 2-and-1 victory. He captured his first World Golf Championship and put his name in the conversation as among the most lethal players in match play.
In his case, looks are deceiving.
"Match play I find to be such an amazing, unique format, so much fun to play and so much pressure," Kuchar said. "It seems like each hole there's so much momentum riding and so much pressure on every hole. To come out on top after six matches of playing the top 64 guys in the world, it's an incredible feeling."
Mahan, trying to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the Match Play Championship, had gone 169 holes without trailing dating to the opening round last year until Kuchar won the fourth hole of the championship with a par.
Mahan never caught up, though it wasn't from a lack of effort. Every time he cut into the deficit, Kuchar answered the challenge — a 15-foot birdie putt on the 12th hole with Mahan in tight, and a 10-foot birdie putt on the 15th with Mahan poised to cut the lead to one hole.
And he did it all with that warm smile on a day so frigid they traded golf hats for ski caps.

There is a myth within our society that hard work will get you anything.
After all, it is central to the American Dream, that if we work tirelessly and put our heart and soul into any endeavor, we can succeed in life.
But is there a fine line between hard work and self destruction?
Are there times in our lives, when we agree to take on a task ourselves that we do more harm than good? And in so doing can we actually hurt others?
The Torah this week sends a clear message on this issue.
Moses, who the Bible depicts as a "workaholic," is described as sitting in his tent from dawn to dusk settling the legal and interpersonal problems of his people.
This is a new nation, recently released from the bonds of Egyptian slavery, and there is much to taste and explore within a free world. And Moses is at the heart of this exploration.
The Torah describes a scene which is not that much different than what would transpire these days between a wife and husband, or a wise CEO and a hard working junior executive.
In this week's Parashah (weekly portion), Yitro, Moses' father in law arrives for a visit. As he sets foot within the Israelite camp, he notices Moses hard at work as the lone judge of the Jewish people.
Yitro is concerned.
"What are you doing?" asks Yitro. "And why do you act alone?" (Exodus 18:14)
Moses replies that as a leader, it is his responsibility to solve problems.
But as Yitro surveys the scene -- the long lineup leading to Moses' tent, and perhaps Moses wife and family sitting home alone, he touches Moses on the shoulder, and counsels:
"The thing you are doing is not right; you will surely wear yourself out and the people as well." (Exodus 18:18)
How many times in our lives have we taken on a difficult project or a position of responsibility and with the best of intentions insisted on doing it ourselves? Is this always good?
How many organizations have we been part of, where a charismatic leader takes charge, and leads a group into unchartered territory? But what happens when that person leaves the group?
Often the organization or the endeavor collapses.
Indeed, while charismatic leadership helps an organization, company or committee overcome a short term obstacle, it often weakens the overall group structure.
Yitro offers advice. He advises Moses to appoint seventy wise men to serve as magistrates. The judges will take care of the smaller person to person disputes. Meanwhile, Moses will oversee the values and mission of the nation under God's law.
Moses accepts Yitro's advice and in so doing strengthens the Children of Israel with a judicial system which would last for millennia. This system served as the forerunner for the Sanhedrin, the seventy person national court which sat in some form until the fourth century Common Era.
There was however personal damage which Yitro's intervention could not avert.
In later chapters, we will learn that the marriage between Moses and Tzipora fails. We can only guess why, but we are given a hint this week through the Yitro's assessment of Moses' work habits.
This week's Torah portion sends us a message that while so many of us enjoy the challenge of a project, if we do not share the responsibility with others, then we weaken ourselves and the very structure we seek to strengthen.
It is also important that we invest and nurture our personal relationships.
It's sometimes hard. Often, when we look around us at less experienced associates, it's easier and less time consuming to do it ourselves.
But in the end, if we want our synagogue, church, club, committee, group or organization to grow and prosper, we must be prepared to accept a temporary but minor drop in quality, as we train others to share the load, if not eventually take our place.
A wise CEO once advised me as I entered a position of senior management.
"Begin immediately training your successor."
This week's Torah portion is timeless, and relates just as much to ancient times, as it does to today's boardroom or committee table. It also resonates within our homes.
In the words of Yitro, "make it easier for yourself by letting them share the burden with you." (Exodus 18:22.
The Torah teaches this week, that we can best help ourselves and those we love and serve by balancing our lives.
Indeed, more work is not always better work.
There are people waiting in the wings to help. Are we prepared as Moses did, to show courage and share the load?
Our lives, our organizations and our personal relationships will be better for it.
Shabbat shalom. Kol tuv (with all goodness)
Rabbi Irwin Huberman

What electronic gifts are favorites this year for kids? A group of middle schoolers shopping at Best Buy near Northgate Mall had some quick answers.
"iPod, Xbox, iPod Touch," they called out almost instantaneously.
From games to tablets to phones, chances are, if your child doesn't have one, many friends already do. Betsy Apel was thinking about video games for her two daughters.
"I think it's just fun. A lot of their friends of course have these systems in their homes." Apel said.
Still, she confessed to some misgivings.
"Oh yeah, for sure. I mean my main reservation is the time sink. Just how do you regulate how much time they spend on it?" she asked, voicing many parents' dilemma.
And there doesn't seem to be a bottom age limit when it comes to electronic toys. Babies are learning to scroll through tablets before they're out of diapers.
"It's unimaginable, or was unimaginable three years ago that we would see babies playing with iPads, and yet we see it all the time now," said pediatrician Dr. Dimitri Christakis.
Dr. Christakis directs the Center for Child Health, Behavior, and Development, at Seattle Children's Research Institute. He said the challenge for parents is to anticipate the consequence of an electronic toy.
"What parents need to focus on is first how to contain it, and second how to make sure that it doesn't pose any real risks for their children," he advised.
Tablets for instance can delight babies. But they can also displace other play. Notice the difference between electronic toys, and toys such as building blocks that help little ones develop fine motor skills.
"In the extreme what you get is children who don't engage the real world enough," Christakis cautioned.
He said video games should pass your own parent test, something Betsy Apel echoed.
"There's just so many things they're exposed to. You want to try and be careful," she said.
Studies link violent video games to aggression. They're popular with teen boys, but the "M" rating is a red flag. The worst said Dr. Christakis are so-called first person shooter games.
"Those were actually designed by the U.S. Military to de-sensitize troops for combat. And they're quite good at it," he said.
Best Buys Staffer Steven Kennedy pointed out that many parents are grateful to learn how Xbox helps them set limits. He showed parental controls over game content, online access, and time spent playing.
"How many minutes per day per week or per month," he explained about the time limits parents can set.
There's something else Dr. Christakis advised. Electronics should come with a curfew.
"Whatever time you decide, and obviously it depends on your child's age, all of those devices need to be shut off or taken out," he said.
Here's something else to consider. If you're thinking of an electronic toy for a niece, nephew, or grandchild, get the OK first from the child's parents. Your gift should match the rules of that child's household. Finally, Dr. Christakis reminded parents that setting limits works best when they agree ahead of time on their plan, and stick to it.

'Love' and the Unsold Pilot
November 7, 2007 3:52 PM
Half of the first season of "Love, American Style," the anthology series (if you can dignify it with that adjective) that ran on ABC from 1969-74, is due out on DVD Nov. 20.
Nah, it wasn't all that bad—basically three romance-themed comedy sketches glued together by silly "Laugh-In"-style interstitial blackouts and featuring a parade of B- and C-list celebrities. Consider it the run-up to "Love Boat" except that the storylines didn't intertwine.
At the time, the best part of the series was the title music, sung by the Cowsills. But revisiting it today, it's fun to recall all those performers and wonder whatever happened to them—the few that are still alive, that is.
Just to name a few: Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Bill Bixby, Sid Caesar, Michael Callan, Judy Carne, Hans Conreid, Yvonne Craig, Bob Crane, Broderick Crawford, Bob Cummings, Richard Deacon, Rosemary DeCamp, Brandon De Wilde, Andy Devine, Phyllis Diller, Shelley Fabares, Gail Fisher, Kathleen Freeman, Alice Ghostley, Sandra Gould, Carolyn Jones, Patsy Kelly, Ozzie & Harriet Nelson, Margaret O'Brien, Regis Philbin, Aldo Ray, Robert Reed, Ann Rutherford, Tommy Smothers, Ann Sothern, Connie Stevens, Larry Storch, Jessica Walter, Lesley Ann Warren, Flip Wilson Estelle Winwood and Jane Wyatt.
Historical footnote: The unsold pilot for "Happy Days," which was rejected by the networks the first time around in 1971, was burned off as a "Love, American Style" segment during the 1971-72 season. Owing to the success of "Grease" on Broadway, where it opened in June 1972, and of "American Graffiti," a smash hit in movie theaters in 1973, the series finally ended up selling to ABC in 1974.

In the final desperate days of campaign 2008, as their shot at the White House slipped away, John McCain and Sarah Palin railed against the Los Angeles Times. The Republicans insisted the newspaper had a secret video that would prove Barack Obama consorted with leftists.
Ever since, it has become an article of faith in outposts of the political right that the hidden "Khalidi video" includes absolute proof that the 44th president has a warm embrace for radicals and those who hate the state of Israel.

Just in time for the 4th of July cookout season, Dole is recalling 2,598 cases of bagged hearts of romaine, coded 0540N165112A or B, with a use-by date of June 26 and UPC 7143000956 due to a possible health risk of Listeria monocytogenes.
The salads were distributed in nine states, including Pennsylvania, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
According to the FDA, no illnesses have been reported in association with the recall, but the bagged salads are being recalled as a precaution due to "isolated instance in which a sample of Dole Hearts of Romaine salad yielded a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes in a random sample test conducted by the FDA."
No other bagged salads are included in the recall.
Consumers who have the product should not consume it, and should discard it. Consumers with questions should call the Dole Food Company Consumer Response Center at 800-356-3111 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Weeks Bay Facility Master Plan
This Facility Master Plan has been developed to assist future planning at the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. It responds to program developments that are foreseen in the near to long term future. This plan was developed in distinct chapters. Chapter 1: Weeks Bay Principles was designed as a roadmap to align the design and construction of the future facilities at the Reserve with the goals described in the Reserve Management Plan. The next chapters describe each of the facility activity areas of the Reserve and include overviews, concepts, and possible future development.
Financial support for this planning document was provided by grant NA08NOS4200308 under the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act, administered by the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Estuarine Reserves Division.

Which oil?
Hey guys i have an 07 silverado with a little over 70 000 miles. ive been putting 5w 30 oil in it but this time i bought 10w 30. is 10w 30 better or does it matter.
also my friend has a tahoe with 200 000 miles and wants to start changing his own oil. is there really something better about the high mileage oil or should he just use normal 10 30 oil.
any input would be appreciated. thanks2007 Chevy

If they don't sing, they don't sling.
Barnett, you are going to get soooo many variation on this, but I will give you mine. The 5w-30 is better in the winter, and in the summer if your truck is not burning any oil. The lighter weight oil gets to the rotating masses in the engine quicker on start-up, especially in winter, which means less wear. If the vehicle sits several days, virtually all the oil is drained into the pan, which results in a dry start-up. The quicker you get the oil up into the motor, the less wear, in theory. As for the high-mileage oils, there is zero benefit from them. It is a marketing idea to sell more oil. Oil makers still tout changing every 3K, or 90 days, even though that old wives tale was put to rest years ago. Use a good oil, in the weight the owners manual recommends, and change at the intervals they recommend.
I dont think it matters too much but I would just stick with what the manufacturer calls for. The engine was "design" for a certain type of oil in mind so why not just stick with that.
The high mileage oil is not necessary but it will not hurt either. But this link gives some benefits of high mileage.

95 Bronco: 160K miles, 4" Superlift, 33/12.5/15 Mickey Thompson
01 Civic: 75K miles, DD
Everytime someone asks about oil, all kinds of answers come up. Citing a sales presentation by Mobiloil as evidence that the product might be worth something, well, I guess we might as well all be using STP, wearing Aqua Velva after shave, and taking Carter's Little Liver Pills. No independent lab has found a single component in "high mileage" oil that is both beneficial, and absent in other quality oils. I even find it offensive that Mobiloil would consider 75,000 miles to be "high mileage"...what are they all driving, Yugo's???? Of course, that is just my opinion....

I have an 05 2500HD with the 6.0, and I switched to 10w30 a long time ago. Main reason is the piston slap sound was driving me nuts, 10-30 quieted it right down.2004 Chevy Colorado

If you really want to have independent opinions and thoughts on high mileage oil "Bob Is The Oil Guy" forum has tons of information for one to look through. That is where I got the link.

A 10w30 is the same viscosity as a 5w30 at operating temperature...a 30 weight is a 30 weight.

That's because labs are looking at common compounds. There is nothing saying oil blends can't have additional things like proprietary seal conditioners, antiwear additives, etc.. The typical lab is not set up to analyze for everything under the sun.
- - - Updated - - -
Unfortunately oil type typically won't stop oil burning. The only thing that will slow oil burning sometimes is a thicker viscosity...I would actually consider a stout 5w40 or 15w40 diesel oil like Rotella if you felt like experimenting. But that's just a thought, and not a sure thing.
with your vehicle 5-30wt is the OEM correct engine oil. I use synthetic mobil oil in my 2000 SILVERADO 5.3L since 2001. the engine now at 140,ooomi has no oil issues/leaks/etc. this engine is well known for the piston slap/knock when on start up in cold temps.
I do not recommend any non synthetic oils in these GM engines. trucks require a high quality synthetic oil to handle the heat created by loading.
high mileage oil for me is the 15,ooomi mobil synthetic oil that is offered. I use the less expensive mobil synthetic . replacing the oil at 8,ooomi.
the oil filter is the part that effects the wear on the engine. I use most times WIX/PUROLATOR PLUS/as well as the ac delco . I do not use or recommend any fram made filters. these filters are made poorly. QC is not good.
your 2007 may require the dexos GM approved engine oils. my last purchase of the mobil 1 5-30wt oil has now the GM dexos approval label. the oil seems to work quite well in the cold temps. engine is very quite on first starting . this GM dexos seems to work well so far. my 2000 engine does not require it , but I can see the difference .
using synthetic fluids in the engine and transmission does improve mileage. your 2007 should have synthetic OEM fluid in it. dexronVI it what the spec is now.
with synthetic engine oil cold weather creates faster starts and less stress on the starting components.

I have read Mr. Smoot's article in the March 3 edition and suggest that any one with a brain can see these numbers are wrong.
Say our city has 40,000 people the supermarket number would be around $3,400 per person.
The retail number would be around $17,000 per person.
Can you really agree on this or would you just write this without investigating it?
This is another instance of the city believing we are that stupid.
We are not losing nowhere near this.

By KATE MILEWSKI, email@example.com
INTERLOCHEN — It happens every second and fourth Wednesday of the month like clockwork.
Don and Cecelia Williams of Platte Lake load up the car with 8-year-old Katie and little Denny and head to the Interlochen Public Library kids' section. They get there just before 4 in the afternoon and have time to settle in before the children arrive.
Katie is more patient than most other 8-year-olds in the library. Kids pull on her ears and her eyelids and try to peer inside her head and she doesn't even react.
A St. Bernard and a Therapy Dogs International certified therapy dog, that's what Katie has been trained to do.
The dog and her owners have been working with children at the library since 2008, helping them become more comfortable with reading while she listens with her patient, furry ears.
"They can come and read to a dog and it's less threatening," Cecelia said. "They don't criticize, they just sit there and listen."
Katie and her cardigan Welsh corgi counterpart Denny have become expert at listening to the kids over the years, spending several hours at the library twice a month during the school year and weekly during the summer.
"We get various kids every two weeks, we don't always see the same kids," Cecelia said. "We see more in the summer that are repeats. They become more relaxed as the summer goes by."
Even though Katie is a big dog, her easygoing personality makes it simple for the kids to relax with her.
"She's a very laid-back St. Bernard," Cecelia said. "She's a very nice girl, very friendly. I wouldn't take just any dog into a place like that."
The Williamses were involved with service dogs well before they got Katie and Denny.
"Our obedience club in Virginia was looking for an outlet they could use to go into nursing homes and other places," Cecelia said.
That led to the group seeking out Therapy Dogs International, which provided them with the resources to find places to volunteer as well as the ability to become insured.
When retirement brought the couple to Platte Lake, they searched out a way to be involved near their new home.
"With us, (kids reading to the dogs) was something new," Cecilia said. "We'd heard about this sort of thing. We were at a dog show in Mount Pleasant and they had some information on it. We thought it would be interesting."
It's been interesting enough to keep the Williamses and their dogs coming back for the last four years, though having a good-tempered dog definitely helps.
"She pretty much behaves the same as when she's home," Cecelia said. "As she's gotten older, she has to sleep more. When she goes, she pretty much just settles in and sometimes, she'll sit and listen. "Sometimes, she'll lie down and listen. Sometimes, she'll be asleep and the kids will read to her anyway. Denny's more attentive, he stays awake, but the kids will read to her even if she's fast asleep."
Once, Katie fell asleep while a 4-year-old was reading to her. The child lifted up Katie's eyelid, just to make sure she was OK.
"She didn't even flinch," Cecelia said. "They're really patient about it.
Just because she's a good and patient dog doesn't mean that some kids aren't a little intimidated by her size.
"Sometimes, children are quite anxious to go over and pet her, but some are a little put off," Cecelia said. "Sometimes, you'll have a child who will sooner pet the smaller dogs than Katie. She's pretty big."
But Katie truly is a gentle giant. During peak months, kids come pouring in to read to, pet or lay by Katie, and she just rolls with it.
The dog even had her 15 minutes of fame when she was in an educational series of books called "Big Dogs Rule," featured in "Saint Bernard: Mountain Rescuer."
"She's the first thing in the book," Cecelia said.
It's appropriate that Katie would be featured in an educational book after all the reading help she's given children over the years — and a role for which dogs are well suited, Cecilia said.
"Dogs are more approachable," she said. "Cats sort of go off on their own. You could read to one, but they wouldn't be comfortable. Kids have more empathy with a dog than they do with other animals, they have a little more expression. They just seem like they're paying attention."

It has taken a decade, but the ownership group now known as Sharks Sports & Entertainment is starting to show a personality that can be as unconventional as its Silicon Valley surroundings.
The Sharks' parent company said this summer that it lost $15 million last season despite selling out every game. But the disclosure -- coming shortly before the start of NHL collective bargaining talks -- wasn't as surprising as the group's response.
"We're OK with that because that's a decision we've made to stay competitive," said Kevin Compton, referring to the fact his team's player payroll bumped up against the NHL salary cap.

Greenfield site saved as Wembdon application rejected
5:10pm Wednesday 5th September 2012 in Bridgwater Area News
CAMPAIGNERS have hailed people power after a bid to build 400 homes on greenfield land was thrown out a second time.
Sedgemoor District Council turned down the application for land at Cokerhurst Farm, Wembdon, last year but developers Cavanna Homes and Ensign Group appealed the decision.
A two-week public inquiry was heard at the start of this year and now a Planning Inspector has again rejected the scheme.
The council's planning policy manager Nick Tait said: "This is an excellent result and shows the Secretary of State has backed local policy.
"The council has a clear strategy that has seen record numbers of new homes and affordable housing in the last year despite the recession.
"There was simply no current need or justification to release this site."
In his decision letter, Secretary of State Eric Pickles agreed with the recommendations of the planning inspector who heard the appeal.
Mr Pickles concluded the proposal was not in accordance with local or national policy and there was no current need to release the greenfield site.
He also said it would result in harm to the rural character and appearance of the area and the loss of locally significant wildlife habitat.
District councillor Ann Bown said: "I am delighted for the residents and parish council who have worked so hard to prevent this inappropriate development going through. It proves that people can be listened to."
Fellow district councillor Gill Slocombe said: "I'm really pleased with this decision; it shows democracy works.
"There are already major problems on the A39 and this would only have made them worse.
"Also, there are other prime sites that can be developed – we need to be careful about overdeveloping greenfield sites."
No-one from Cavanna Homes was available for comment at the time of going to press.

I just hope that Sedgemoor District Council's Nick Tait remembers his comment ("The council has a clear strategy that has seen record numbers of new homes and affordable housing in the last year despite the recession. There was simply no current need or justification to release this site.") when looking at proposals to develop outside the village boundary at Crockers Hill in Woolavington.

While urban growth from the north continues sprawling southward, one of the many local concerns is whether the Fort Mill area can keep its own identity. On this, the township has an ace up its sleeve: the Anne Springs Close Greenway.
The 2,300-acre natural area lies in the northern part of the township between Highway 21 Bypass and Steele Road. The Greenway, which crosses over Highway 21 Business, serves as both a recreation resource and a growth buffer for the town.
It provides 26 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, as well as picnic areas, lakes for fishing and an outdoor interpretive center.
The land, 2,000 acres of which is still forested, was owned by the Springs family for 200 years. The eight children of H. William and Anne Springs Close gave the property as a gift to the community in 1995.
