BROWNSBURG — Bill Estes Ford and the Kiwanis Club here presented the Brownsburg Education Foundation with a record haul in 2012, stemming from its Drive One 4 UR School promotion in September.
Bill Estes Ford presented the BEF with checks totaling $9,340, while the Kiwanis Club contributed the $1,042 that they were paid for being escorts at the event.
Drive One 4 UR School encourages community members to test drive a Ford vehicle in exchange for donations to the school from the Ford Motor Company.
"We did it on a week night and that made a huge difference in regard to people not being tied up on a Saturday, and then (Brownsburg Community School Corporation superintendent) Dr. (Jim) Snapp really got behind it," Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg General Manager Andy Wernsman said.
Josh Laycock of the BEF added, "Brownsburg has a great community. We take care of our own. There was an opportunity for people to test drive a vehicle at no cost to them to help out a great organization and they did. It was incredible to see all the people, especially the people in the school corporation, that took time out to test drive the vehicles. It was a very proud moment."
The funds will be used for a variety of programs, including scholarships for students and grants to allow teachers experiences they otherwise might not have been able to obtain.
"One of the teachers that drove three years ago got a grant and she went to a school in Atlanta and came back and told me she's still implementing that same project," Wernsman said.
He said the program is "on his heart" because his wife, who is a teacher, once received a grant that helped further her educational experience for students.
Russell Hodgkin and David Cantrell are both Kiwanians and also are part of the BEF, so this was dually important to them. The Kiwanis opted to donate all of the money they made from being escorts during the event.
"The Kiwanis mantra, so to speak, is to work with kids and give to kids, so we're in a similar kind of situation as the education foundation," Hodgkin said. "Money is tight. We know teachers don't always have the money to do the things they like to do, so this goes toward grants to do things that teachers might not get out of the regular budget. A teacher might get to go to a conference they otherwise might not have been able to. This is kind of paying it forward."
Cantrell added, "We had 17 cars going constantly and we've done this for several years, and this was by far the most successful event we've had. We feel a big part of the community is living here because of the quality of the schools and that we have an emphasis on education. Ford has been very supportive of this. It's a win-win situation when you recognize the efforts of education."

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — City man admits
to insurance scam
A city man was sentenced Thursday to five years of probation for forging notes from a doctor in order to keep receiving disability checks, after recovering from injuries suffered in a vehicle accident.
Matthew J. Luke, 27, of Chapel Street, was sentenced by Niagara County Judge Sara S. Farkas for fourth-degree insurance fraud. Luke also must repay $14,969 to State Farm Insurance, which he collected between May 2010 and September 2011.
Luke pleaded guilty to the charge in September.
Stolen laptop could lead to year in jail
A city man is looking at a year in Niagara County Jail for taking a laptop and trading it for video games.
Jeremy Russell, 20, 77 Main St., Apt. 204, pleaded guilty Thursday for second-degree criminal trespassing and petit larceny, both class A misdemeanors. Russell appeared in front of Niagara County Judge Sara S. Farkas.
Russell admitted to entering a South Street home in September and taking a laptop computer. According to the police arrest report, Russell and Joseph J. Nicholson of Prospect Street took the computer and traded it for video games.
As part of the plea deal, Russell will pay $700 in restitution and cooperate with authorities against Nicholson. Nicholson is being screened for the court's judicial drug diversion program.
Russell will return Feb. 6 for sentencing.

Associate Professors
Associate Professors (continued)
Assistant Professors
Adjunct Faculty
The department offers broad training in basic biological disciplines, with an emphasis in cell and molecular biology. Students have many opportunities to participate in ongoing projects in research laboratories. All the biology-related majors require one year of introductory biology, plus additional courses as detailed in the major requirements and listed on the websites given above.
For the first term of their introductory biology sequence, students may take either BIOL C2005, which has a prerequisite of chemistry, or EEEB W2001, which does not require chemistry. EEEB W2001 may be taken in the first year. BIOL C2005 should be taken later, after general chemistry. For more details, see Introductory Courses under Undergraduate Requirements. All students interested in biology are encouraged to take BIOL C2908 First year seminar in modern biology in the fall semester of their first year.
Premedical students should consult their advising dean or the pre-professional office for relevant details of medical school requirements. Students interested in graduate school should consult the Bio Career adviser, Dr. Chloe Bulinski.
Nonscience majors who wish to take a biology course to fulfill the science requirement are encouraged to take BIOL W1015 if offered and/or BIOL W1130. They may also take, with the instructor's permission, BIOL W3208, or EEEB W2001.
Interested students should consult listings in other departments for courses related to biology. For courses in environmental studies, see listings for earth and environmental sciences, or listings for ecology, evolution, and environmental biology. For courses in human evolution, see listings for anthropology or ecology, evolution, and environmental biology. For courses in the history of evolution, see history and philosophy of science. For a list of courses in computational biology and genomics, see http://www.c2b2.columbia.edu/?q=node/50.
Advanced Placement
The department grants 3 credits for a score of 5 on the AP Biology exam. Placement is determined by the department. Students with a 5 on the AP are encouraged to take BIOL C2005 and BIOL C2006, but are not required to do so. For details, see http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/ug/faqs.html and Introductory Courses under Undergraduate Requirements.
Transfer Credit
Transfer credits granted toward the degree are not automatically counted toward the major. The department determines which transfer credits can be counted toward the major. For most majors, at least 4 biology or biochemistry courses and at least 18 credits of the total (biology, biochemistry, math, physics and chemistry) must be taken at Columbia. Barnard courses may not be substituted for the required Columbia courses without advance permission from the adviser. For neuroscience and behavior, one of the five biology course and one of the psychology courses may be transferred. Students who wish a course from outside CU to count toward their major must receive written approval from their adviser or the director of undergraduate studies. Students must supply a syllabus and/or course description to receive approval.
Current and prospective biology majors and concentrators whose last names begin with A-H should consult with Prof. Kalderon. Students whose last names begin with I-P should consult with Prof. Heicklen. Students whose last names begin with Q-Z should consult with Prof. Miller. Current and prospective biochemistry majors should consult Prof. Stockwell for biology course advising and Prof. Cornish for chemistry course advising. Current and prospective biophysics majors should consult Prof. Fernandez. Students who cannot contact their adviser should consult Prof. Mowshowitz. For additional information, including office hours, please see http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/pages/undergrad/cur/advising/.
Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program
First-year students, sophomores, and juniors are eligible for the department's paid internship program (SURF). This program is competitive; the department cannot assure every eligible student a place in any given summer.
Students apply to the program
early in the spring term. A faculty committee headed by Dr. Alice
Heicklen then matches selected students to appropriate labs.
The deadline for SURF applications is at the beginning of the spring semester.
SURF students must submit a report on their work at the end of the summer session and participate in the following year's annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. Although it does not carry any academic credit, SURF can be used toward the lab requirement for majors and toward graduation with honors. For detailed information on all summer research programs and how to apply visit the SURF website. Current detailed descriptions of the SURF program and the application procedure are available at SURF: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/ug/surf/, the Amgen Scholarship Program: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/ug/amgen/, and the NYSTEM summer undergraduate research program: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/ug/nystem/. Applications to all of these programs are through SURF.
Departmental Honors
Students must apply for departmental honors. Applications are due no later than one day after spring break of their senior year. For details, see the department website at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/pages/undergrad/cur/honors/.

It takes a special kind of man to scare the bejesus out of bad guys while wearing a purple polo shirt. Indian actor and stuntman Akshay Kumar is exactly that sort of guy in Rowdy Rathore, a frothy, violent Bollywood action-comedy that marks its star's return to the kind of two-fisted shoot-'em-ups that made him famous in the '90s. And in case you're wondering, you needn't be even passingly familiar with the actor to buy into his considerable charms as Rowdy Rathore's main characters.
Yep, that's "characters" with an "s" on the end. Kumar plays dual roles as both an uncompromising rural supercop named Vikram Rathore and his fast-talking identical twin, a Mumbai thief and con artist named Shiva.
The film is divided into two distinct halves separated by a nutso intermission segue. The first half is a romantic comedy that introduces us to Shiva and his partner in crime, a Joe Pesci look-alike known as 2G (Paresh Ganatra). Shiva is very good at his trade; he can steal the shirt off a police officer's back and pick a heart-attack victim's pockets while performing life-saving CPR. He vows to change his ways when he falls for Paro (Sonakshi Sinha), a beautiful young woman in town for her cousin's wedding. Things get complicated when a 6-year-old girl latches onto Shiva, mistaking him for her father.
The second half shifts gears dramatically, as Shiva is drawn into the violent drama playing out around the girl and her father, a thoroughly badass cop who was supposedly killed when he took on a band of state-backed criminals that has taken over a small village. For reasons that don't make a lot of sense, Shiva assumes the identity of Vikram Rathore and sets out to finish what the policeman started. He morphs into the film's title character, a wily avenger who is equal parts conman and supercop. With the help of Paro and a small group of police officers who were unwaveringly loyal to Vikram, Rowdy Rathore sets out to clean up the town. Or maybe just blow it up.
For those uninitiated in the ways of Bollywood, Rowdy Rathore makes for a pretty good introduction. It boasts all the hallmarks of a Hindi blockbuster—crazy tonal shifts, elaborate musical numbers, slapstick comedy, scads of melodrama—and it packages them in a way that is accessible to American audiences. Unlike a lot of Bollywood films, most of Rathore's jokes don't depend on a unique Hindi cultural perspective, so the film's comedic beats translate beautifully for Western viewers.
Director Prabhu Deva, who is also a noted Bollywood actor, dancer, and choreographer, borrows plenty of tricks from both American and Asian action films, but he has a knack for cherry-picking the fun stuff and leaving the more distracting elements behind. The result is a grab-bag of swish pans, jump cuts, and digital image manipulation that, unlike so many contemporary Western action films, never shortchanges the action sequences with too much shaky camera work and frenetic editing. There's a balance, after all, and Deva finds it. Rather than distracting the viewer from the story, the stylistic flourishes actually work in the film's favor; when Shiva breaks the fourth wall and manipulates the narrative by rewinding or zooming in on something that's caught his attention, it clues us in on an important plot element. As Shiva says in one of the movie's percussion-heavy musical numbers, when he moves forward, the rest of the world moves in reverse. It's his world; everyone else just happens to be living in it.
The plot is nonsense, of course, but it doesn't matter. What really makes Rowdy Rathore work is its star. As ridiculous as the story is, Kumar sells it. I bought him as a charming, Chaplin-esque goofball at the beginning of the film, I bought him as a humorless badass later on, and I bought him as a weird mashup of the two at the end. It's a remarkable transformation. When he single-handedly stands down two dozen armed thugs in the film's midpoint set piece and then goes to work on them with a circular saw blade (most of the gore is implied rather than shown), there's absolutely no trace of the rakish thief the audience got to know just a few minutes ago. He tells the heavies that death will have to go through every last one of them in order to get to him, and you know what? I believe it. No wonder this guy is a movie star.

After peaking in 2010, the total number of foreclosures in Dakota County is slowly falling, according to the most recent data released by the Dakota County Community Development Agency.
The total number of Sheriff Sales countywide in the first 11 months of 2012 was 1,422, compared to 1,821 for the same period last year. In November 2012, 117 Sheriff Sales occurred, a marked decrease from the 191 sales in November 2011.
A Sheriff Sale is the final step of the foreclosure process, when the assets seized in a foreclosure are publicly auctioned.
In 2007, Dakota County officials began noticing a significant upswing in the number of notices of pendency—the first step in the foreclosure process—and Sheriff Sales. A Notice of Pendency is filed by a mortgage company's attorney as official notification that the foreclosure process has begun. Not all of these result in Sheriff Sales.
The number of foreclosures hit a high point in 2010, when 2,147 Sheriff Sales took place countywide, according to data provided Dakota County. Last year, a total of 1,985 Sheriff Sales were recorded.
Logically, the largest number of foreclosures are concentrated in the most populous communities in Dakota County. Eagan, Burnsville, Lakeville and Apple Valley all totated well over 200 foreclosures in 2011, with Burnsville experiencing the highest rate of foreclosures, according to county numbers.

It is user-friendly way to rewrite the software of your mind and change the printout of your life. Change with this process is easily, effortless and faster than any other modality I have discovered so far. Psychologists have discovered that 95-99% of our thoughts, emotions and behaviour, both constructive and destructive, originate from subconscious mind, not the conscious or logical mind. Subconscious mind is the seat of your life. It will give you everything you desire when its correctly programmed. It may also kill you when programmed with self-sabotaging beliefs. Unfortunately, most of people are operating from self-sabotaging beliefs. Most people inspite of reading hundreds of self-help books and attending life changing seminars keep doing same old things they have been doing. Why? Because they target the wrong part of your mind i-e conscious mind which has little or no control over your life. Consciously, through will power (processing capacity: 4 Bits per second), we try to beat subconscious mind (processing capacity: 40 Millions bits per second). Who will win? Of course, subconscious beliefs, no matter if it has self-sabotaging. In PSYCH-K, we help people change their self-sabotaging beliefs in matter of minutes and align their subconscious beliefs with their conscious goals to create financial abundance, physical, emotional and social well being, improved relationship, improved job performance, self-confidence, expanding spiritual awareness, and much more. Because subconscious behaviour is automatic or habitual, your new beliefs become your thoughts, feeling and behaviour like self-fulfilling prophecy rather than a day to day struggle.

God in the Silence
Elijah learns that God is found in the still, small voice, not the impressive special effects
BY: Dini Lewittes
Elijah the Prophet had just staged one of the greatest public demonstrations of the unique power of the God of Israel. Before a multitude of Israelites, he challenged the worshippers of Ba'al to a divine showdown. With the drama and special effects befitting a Steven Spielberg movie, God reveals Himself to all of those standing on Mount Carmel, leaving no doubt as to the truth of His existence and the authenticity of His prophet, Elijah.
And yet, as soon as the production so successfully directed by Elijah is over, Elijah is running for his life. Jezebel, the evil queen of Israel, is intent on killing Elijah for the destruction of the Ba'al cult that she had established among the Jews. Elijah flees to the wilderness where, overcome with depression, he prays to God to end his life.
In Elijah's mind, he had failed; his life was not worth living. He had done what he thought he could do to communicate the truth of God's covenant. He had been zealous for the Lord and all it got him was a death sentence.
God instructs him to go to Mount Sinai and to stand in the same place where Moses, centuries earlier, had received the great revelation from God:

Discussion in 'NFA Firearms & Related Items' started by iceman1, Nov 3, 2004.
where do i find rifle slincers??
What's a slincer?
muffler shop is a good place to look
ok very funny guys what i am looking for is a rifle muffer does any body know where i can find one ??
Have at it
(M1) The types of firearms that must be registered in the National Firearm Registration and Transfer Record are defined in the NFA and in 27 CFR Part 179. What are some examples? [Back]
Some examples of the types of firearms that must be registered are:
The frames or receivers of machineguns;
Any combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting weapons into machineguns;
Any part designed and intended solely and exclusively for converting a weapon into a machinegun;
Any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if the parts are in the possession or under the control of a person;
Silencers and any part designed and intended for fabricating a silencer;
Short-barreled rifles;
Short-barreled shotguns;
Destructive devices; and,
"Any other weapons
ok thanks guys now i just need to find one,,
Check Shot Gun News. There are a few places in there listed in the Class III directory. Once you have your paperwork, you should be set.
I moved this thread to the NFA forum because it's more appropriate here. Silencers are highly restricted by the Federal government, and are totally illegal in many states. You generally won't find them being sold, except for Class III places or for law enforcement.
Well that just pisses me off. I see why the Military might need weapons and devices that we citizens don't need, but I find it very repugnant that Law Enforcement has access to weapons and devices that citizens do not.
Go to http://www.subguns.com and you'll find out the various mfg's
to purchase from. Most states are NFA friendly and allow the legal
purchase, use & possesion of supressors/silencers. No big deal.
Gemtech makes a fine one.
How much jumping through hoops do you really have to do in order to get approved to buy one?
AAC makes the best rifle and pistol silencers
Google "Silencer", there are lots of places that sell them. Then make sure that they are legal where you live. Then find a class 3 dealer in your area. If he doesn't have the one you want, he will have to have one transfered to him on a ATF Form 3. It can not be transfered directly to you from an out of state dealer/manufacturer.
Once he has it you will need to complete two copies of a ATF Form 4. You will have to be finger printed and have passport type pictures taken. You will also have to have the chief law enforcement officer in your location sign off on the form. This could be a Chief of Police, County Sheriff or one of several other people in your area.
When you have completed the form 4 you will take it back to your local dealer and he will sign off on it and it will be set to the ATF along with a $200 check from you. Once the ATF gets it they will run a background check on you and make a determination on whether or not you qualify. This can take from a few weeks to several months but 2 to 4 months is common. I have heard horror stories of it take as long as a year and a half. On the other hand it may only take a month or so. So it is pretty much a crapshoot.
Assuming that you are approved, the ATF will return the form to your dealer along with the tax stamp. Once your dealer gets the approved form returned to him you can take delivery of the silencer. It will be between you and the dealer when you make payment for the silencer. They range in price from about $400 and up depending on the make.
If you don't get approved, the form and your check (I think) will be returned with the reason for denial.
The biggest hassle is the waiting to get the form approved.
I was looking at them in virginia years ago and they said something about you have to pay i think like $400+ a year for something. And that the silencer is not aloud to be on your gun in your house, and that the fbi or federal government is permitted to come in your house anytime they want to. sorry for the being so vaige but it was a long time ago.
Midnight. The $200 tax you pay is one time only on that particular NFA item. The only time another tax is needed is if you buy another one or transfer yours to someone else. It CAN be on your gun in your house. The only rule to watch is according to the rules you can be the only one to have access to it. ATF isn't gonna just come in your house for the hell of it. Their are thousands of owners with registered NFA items that will never here from NFA or ATF again.
i'm not gonna get one anyways but thats what the guy told me.

A Dead End Job? I Hardly Think So!
Richard Chambers, CIA, CGAP, CCSA, CRMA, shares his personal reflections and insights on the internal audit profession.
Anyone who knows me or follows this blog and my social media presence knows that I am not "thin-skinned" when it comes to constructive criticism of the internal audit profession. I am confident in the remarkable progress that our profession has made and the stature that it now enjoys. I even discuss opportunities for our profession to improve when speaking at internal audit conferences and other events because I believe bringing issues to light can make our profession stronger. But when I read what I believe is misleading research, or when I see inaccurate headlines/articles directed at the profession, I will always make a vigorous effort to set the record straight. Such is the case with a recent research report from a group of Brigham Young University professors and an ensuing CFO.com article.
The CFO.com article generated some strong reactions from internal auditors, and I was among those who took exception to the headline in my own posted comment. While I believe the researchers were well intentioned, their lack of understanding of modern internal auditing was evident. The primary focus of their research was accounting students nearing graduation. According to the professors, these students were less likely to apply for an internal audit position than an accounting position. Unfortunately, there are two problems with that "news flash." First, while accounting students are still an important source of talent for many internal audit departments, The IIA's latest survey of chief audit executives (CAEs) indicates that "accounting skills" now rank 7th among the most highly recruited skills for internal auditors. So, if there is diminished interest on the part of some accounting students in internal audit positions, it may well align with the diminished interest of CAEs in actually hiring the accounting students themselves. The second point that should be considered when weighing how serious these results are for the profession is the fact that only about one-third of internal audit departments even recruit college students at all. The two points combined genuinely diminish the impact of a small percentage of accounting students preferring to work in an accounting role rather than in internal auditing.
More important than the points outlined above, I believe the researchers may have failed to appreciate how much the landscape has changed for internal auditing. Modern internal audit departments are focused on so much more than assessing the adequacy of financial controls. In a recent survey, CAEs told The IIA that only about 25 percent of their 2013 audit plans would focus on financial-related risks or controls at all. Meanwhile, almost half of internal audit plans will be focused on operating, compliance, and IT risks. Addressing these risks requires far more than an academic background in accounting. It requires deep expertise of the business/industry in which the enterprise operates. It also requires specialized expertise that may or may not be part of an academic course of study in accounting.
There are several outstanding academic programs that prepare students for careers in internal auditing. Schools such as Louisiana State University, The University of Texas at Dallas, and The University of Houston have excellent programs that not only prepare students for careers in accounting, but prepare them to leverage that knowledge in far more challenging and rewarding ways in internal auditing. They are joined by more than 40 colleges and universities around the world that are part of The IIA's Internal Auditing Education Partnership.
As for CFO.com, the lack of understanding about how internal auditing is being leveraged (and even who internal auditors work for) is apparent from both the article's headline and the message delivered. Only about half of internal audit departments even have an administrative reporting relationship to the chief financial officer these days. The advice to "finance chiefs" on how to attract internal audit talent seems to be seriously misplaced given that few if any of them would be involved in recruiting internal audit talent to begin with.
Finally, I must address the question posed by CFO.com about whether internal audit is a "dead end" profession. Frankly, the suggestion is beyond ludicrous. In many companies, internal audit has become a pipeline of talent to the business. Based on recent data, we estimate that more than two-thirds of Fortune 500 audit departments now consider all or a portion of their internal audit positions to be part of a rotational model or executive development program. Internal auditors get to see all aspects of the organizations they work for, and they make important contacts with senior management, so it shouldn't be surprising to learn that a stint in internal audit is often viewed as a path for career development. Each year, tens of thousands of new professionals assume internal audit roles. Almost as many individuals leave the profession each year to assume roles of increased responsibilities within their organizations.
A "dead end" profession? I hardly think so. Internal auditing is a highly challenging field that can lead to almost unlimited opportunities. Some of those opportunities are in the accounting field, and we will always need professionals with strong accounting backgrounds among our ranks. But in internal auditing, the sum is greater than the parts, and our profession is made stronger by the fact that we draw on the best and brightest from a wide variety of backgrounds.

TAHLEQUAH — Growing up in Oaks near Rocky Ford has many advantages. You're magically never bored.
There's always a fish fry to attend or deer to hunt, and you are completely blanketed in Cherokee culture.
Terry Crow, 46, facilities supervisor for Cherokee Nation Entertainment, developed a love for the traditions of his tribe and hunting at an early age and has found a way to combine both into a striking contemporary art form.
"I've always had deer antlers lying around and a fascination with knives since I can remember," Crow said in a media release. "I just never knew exactly how to make one. One day, back in '97.
"I believe, my wife came to me after seeing some knives another artist had created and said I should try it. I've been carving ever since."
Crow, a Cherokee citizen, quickly learned to carve knives, hunting bows, jewelry and other decorative pieces out of deer antler, elk bone and other natural materials he had found.
While drawing and traditional art have always come natural to him, modernizing an ancient Cherokee tradition had its challenges in the beginning.
"I wanted my first carving to be an eagle head, but I kept dropping it while I was working," said Crow. "Every time I dropped it, it would chip more and more off the beak. When I was finished it didn't look like an eagle at all, but some kind of unnamed bird.
"My father-in-law still has it, and while I always want to take it back to fix it, he won't let me touch it. I guess because it was my very first piece. It has character."
Carving using bone, deer tines and wood is a longstanding tradition among Cherokee people. Until recently, most knife-like items were polished using the flint napping process.
However, over the past 75 years, many Cherokees have combined the two arts, learning to create knives with modern carved handles.
Crow has made more than 200 contemporary Cherokee knives and numerous carved pieces that have traveled across the United States and overseas. The most unique piece, a snake complete with full body scales, he carved from an old elk tine.
"For a long time, I just kept that tine lying around. It looked like something to me, but I wasn't exactly sure how to shape it into what I saw," Crow said. "Finally it just came to me. I used to draw what I saw in something. Now, I carve."
Crow is a retired Army veteran who earned nine medals, including a Bronze Star, National Defense Service Medal and Expert Marksmanship Badge Grenade.
He has been with CNE for more than seven years and currently lives in Woodall with his wife, often using his many passions to teach his children and grandchildren about their ancestry.
A knife carved by Crow will temporarily be on display at the Cherokee Nation Veterans Center in Tahlequah.

As of now, your project area is beginning to take shape with a solid prepared base. The next step is laying the pavers where you can finally begin to see your plan take action! The following guidelines will help ensure your project is exactly what you have imagined:
Do start laying the pavers on the longest straight wall, but never assume anything is straight. Foundation walls and poured in place curbs are rarely straight. Always use a string line that is spaced approximately ¼" off the wall and follow that. A small gap against a wall will never be seen upon completion of project. If you start your pavers with a crooked line it will get worse as you work away from the starting point.
Do not hammer the pavers together. Laying the pavers tight can actually cause some issues in the future. The recommended space between the pavers is 3 mm (1/8"). I don't expect you to measure the gap but just set them beside one another. You should stop every 4 feet and pull a string line along the laying face, with a screwdriver, adjust that face to the string line. Do not hammer the stones to straighten the face, it is better to space them out.
Do use edge restraint, yes you need it! All projects, regardless of their use, need to be restrained. If pavers are not restrained they will slowly "creep" into the softer surrounding materials and large gaps between the pavers will appear around the perimeter of the area. Most jobs have some edge restraint already there, such as the foundation wall or the sill of the garage, but all other areas need edge restraint. Use an invisible edge systems that is spiked into the base materials. These easy to use edge restraints can also help you fine-tune your design because they are flexible. If you are doing a serpentine (curved) area you can place the edge restraint, put a few spikes in and stand back and look at the curve and make sure that you have a nice consistent pleasing flow to the job then nail it down.
Do not do your final compaction until you have cleaned off the surface of all dust and construction debris and inspected the stones for color distribution and quality. If you need to rearrange a few stones it is a lot easier to do it at this time than after the next stage. Once that is done tamp the stones with a compactor in all directions. A protective plate cover for your tamper is a must as the steel plate can mar or even damage the top surface of some stones. Do one final inspection of the stones and then you are ready to apply the polymeric sand.
Do read the instructions provided on the bag of the polymeric sand. There are right ways and wrong ways of applying polymeric sands and believe me, the wrong way can ruin a great job.
I know this is a lot of do's and don'ts but installing our products the correct way will ensure a long lasting beautiful job that you will be proud of! This concludes my three part blog: The Do's and Don'ts of Paver Installation!

CHAPEL HILL — The University of North Carolina refers to its baseball playing facility as BOSH-a-mer Stadium, and the family it's named after says ... that's not quite right.
Add the UNC campus baseball stadium to the list of words with multiple – and sometimes misunderstood – pronunciations.
Tar Heels fans, students and even the baseball team's "voice of choice," announcer Mike Copeland, pronounce "Boshamer" Stadium's name as "BOSH-a-mer." But according to family members of Cary Boshamer, after whom the stadium is named, the correct pronunciation is "BOSS-hammer."
"Just like 'boss' and 'hammer,' " said Greta Boshamer of Morehead City. Her husband, Henry, was the nephew of Cary.
A member of the UNC class of 1917 from Gastonia, Cary Boshamer donated the money for the stadium. He also financed various scholarships and professorships and contributed an artificial turf field to the athletic program.
"He loved [UNC] the most in the world," Henry Boshamer said.
Henry, 81, is not much of a baseball fan himself, but he remembers attending the inaugural game at his uncle's stadium in the 1970s. The pronunciation of the stadium's name as its first players stepped onto the field? BOSS-hammer, Henry said.
Luckily, he is no stranger to various pronunciations of his last name, nor does he mind them.
Steve Kirschner, UNC's senior associate athletic director for communications, said he learned the actual pronunciation of Boshamer several years after he began working for the school in 1989. The "BOSH-a-mer" pronunciation had been accepted long before his arrival.
"I think as long as the family's comfortable with that, that's the way we'll do it," he said.
Fortunately for those who hold North Carolina's baseball culture close to their hearts, the stadium's nickname, "The Bosh," is completely legitimate. Henry's high school and college friends call him "Bosh" to this day.
The UNC baseball team plays Saturday at 12:05 p.m. at the stadium
"Whatever they call it, it's still Uncle Cary's stadium," Henry said.

HOUSTON –- Attorneys in probable cause court overnight said they have a videotaped confession from the suspect accused of stabbing several classmates at a Lone Star College campus.
In the confession, 20-year-old Dylan Quick reportedly told detectives Tuesday's attack was part of a long-held "fantasy" he had since his childhood.
"In a videotaped confession, he admitted he stabbed the complainants with an X-Acto knife and a scapula [sic] because of his fantasy to kill people," said a prosecutor. "Apparently there are more than six complainants, and a bloody knife tip was removed from the chest from one of the complainants."
The charges against Quick were read in court, but he wasn't there due to concerns about his mental health. Quick has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault.
The student is accused of going on a stabbing spree at Lone Star College's Cy-Fair campus, injuring at least 14 people.
The sheriff's office said Quick told investigators he'd had fantasies about stabbing people to death since he was in elementary school, and he indicated he'd been planning the attack for some time. At an afternoon press conference Wednesday, Sheriff Adrian Garcia said investigators were looking into the possibility that Quick may have discussed his plans in an online chatroom.
Authorities were seen leaving Quick's parents' home with two brown paper bags.
Out of the 14 people injured, six were sent to a Cypress-area hospital for treatment and later released. Six others were more seriously injured and were sent to the Texas Medical Center, some by helicopter. All, but two, of those patients have been released.
A spokesman for Memorial Hermann Texas Trauma Institute said early Wednesday that the remaining two patients were in good condition.

12) Will Bill Parcells really coach the Saints this year? What a unique situation that would be.
11) NFL Draft closes out the month; ESPN's Todd McShay is saying Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill is just about as good as Robert Griffin III, which I strongly disagree with, but he knows more about it than I do. Time will tell. The draft is now spread over three nights and is almost always solid entertainment.
10) Rangers have won one Stanley Cup since 1940, but will be top seed in the East this year; can they parlay that into their first title since 1994? NHL playoffs are always great fun.
9) How many star players will miss the NBA playoffs because of injury? The condensed schedule was a stupid idea, but as long as the owners make money, who cares if the product suffers? And it is suffering.
8) Now that Eldrick Woods has ended his winning drought, will he keep on winning and get another green jacket? My theory was that he wouldn't win, but if he did, he would win several times, not just once.
7) New baseball season starts Thursday; I'm not optimistic for my A's, but I do think they have their best coaching staff they've had since the Larussa days and they won't go in the tank late in the season. They'll compete every night, but they're talent-shy.
6) Looking forward to seeing the new ballpark in Miami, and also changes that were made at Citi Field. How hitter-friendly is the Queens ballpark now? Enough to revitalize David Wright's career?
5) Red Sox fired their manager LY, a guy who won them two World Series; they let their GM and closer walk. Will they be any better? Something tells me they're going to miss Mr Francona a lot more than they think.
4) How much of an immediate impact will the Dodgers see from getting out from under the cloud of Frank McCourt? Having Magic Johnson is an owner will be tremendous in the community, but the team that takes the field won't change much this year. The perception of that team could change a lot.
3) Chase Utley has two bad knees; Ryan Howard has a surgically repaired Achilles tendon, which won't be ready for games until Memorial Day or so. The Phillies' position players are old and tattered; can the stellar starting pitching keep them atop an improved NL East?
2) College basketball coaching carousel will start spinning; Mississippi State-Kansas State-Colorado State are three of the better jobs still available. Lot of talent coming back next year at both K-State and Colorado State; they both should be tournament teams.
1) Studying the NFL schedule is always one of the highlights every spring; it comes out in a couple weeks-- will every Denver game be in primetime? Will the Saints get any night games? Which Jet-Patriot game is a Monday nighter? Lot of questions to answer there.

My Email Digests
I am almost 33 years old and have always been in good health. No smoking, mostly healthy eating, fairly regular exercise. About two years ago I started having a strange cough and arm pain so I went to the doctor. He told me I had GERD and had me taking omeprazole, even though I had no heartburn. It worked fairly well but I still had lingering arm pains.
Back in August I went to urgent care because I thought I was having a heart attack. They took chest x-rays, put me on an EKG and did blood tests. Everything came back fine. I've since had my cholesterol and triglycerides checked and those were also great. My blood pressure has been pretty high, though. Not usually more than 140/90. I've been to two different doctors in the past 2 months and both told me I was just under a lot of stress and that any pain was a combination of stress and GERD.
Lately the pain in the left side of my chest and left arm has been getting worse. I get tightness in my chest, right around my diaphragm, plus the pain in my arm. Usually the pain seems more focused closer to my shoulder and arm pit, then down my arm. It's not only uncomfortable but it makes it hard for me to relax because I'm always having to reassure myself that the pain is not related to my heart. But the last doctor I spoke with, who also said my problems were stress/GERD related, said he didn't know why only my left arm would have pains but that it wasn't anything to worry about.
So I'm turning here to see if anybody has any information. Is it likely that the pain can be from my GERD or stress? The pain doesn't seem to change with my mood or with what I eat or how my stomach feels. It almost seems random. It doesn't even always happen when I move around. The pain in my chest happens in different parts of the left side of my chest and is usually focused in one spot, so it's not usually the entire left half of my chest. The pain that shoots down my arm usually accompanies the chest pain but not always. It feels a bit like a tingling tightness. It happens at random times through the day but is usually worse at night.
I have not been exercising lately. I mostly sit around. I'm unemployed right now and don't work out because I'm a bit afraid of the pain I feel. I still take omeprazole once a day. I eat a healthy diet and am going to start taking 100mg of CoQ10 daily.
To recap, my ekg, chest x-rays and blood tests all came back fine. I was also tested for H. Pylori and it was negative. The only things that I've been told is that my blood pressure is a bit high and that I have GERD. I'm sorry for posting so much but I'd love to hear any ideas. I'm going to try to see my doctor again next week. I'd love some ideas of things I can talk with him about. Or, if left arm pain is common with my situation, and really isn't a problem after all the tests that have been ran since August, I'd also like to hear that. Thanks!
I am worried that a blockage is there because, even though I have been eating pretty healthily lately, that wasn't the case a few years ago and for many years before that. It just seems odd that it would be getting worse as I've been eating better, but maybe my blood pressure being higher has elevated the problem?
I don't know. All I know is that it sucks. If I want to see if there is a blockage, how do I do that? A chest x-ray won't work, right? Do I need an ultrasound or an MRI? I'm worried that without insurance those will be expensive tests. I'll just see what the doctor says if I can see him.
I have always been curious. Can I have clogged arteries if my cholesterol and triglycerides are good? That's usually why the doctors write off any heart problems but I've never been able to find an answer to this.
1. Personal dietitian- learn all u can about diets 4 healthy heart/high blood pressure, 2 put 2gether with your GERD safe diet. Do not & lay down or go 2 bed after eating. Give yourself around 3 hours b4 laying down. B4 bed if u feel u need something, drink no more than 2 ounces of lactaid milk. Eat oatmeal, lactaid milk with vit. D, soft fiber fruits & vegetables, brown rice, beans, tofu, & some lean parts of chicken, or buffalo ground meat during the day in small portions. Learn about your food intolerance which is what is giving u the GERD.
2. Personal trainer- learn about aerobic exercises that u will enjoy doing: stretches, yoga, or any water exercise that will make u feel less pain & so on u will feel better after exercising. Incorporate weight training with very little lbs. so that u will concentrate into the repetition rather than strength. Learn how 2 breath properlly. After loosing some weight, if u feel ok 2 upper your exercise training, then work your torso & continue loosing weight. Sleep 8 hours a day. If after this u still don't feel relief of your immediate problems then have your Dr. make an MRI of your neck 2 c if u have any abnormality that may be causing u the pain on your left arm.
3. Personal doctor- learn-learn-learn about how 2 live in your own body with your own little or big problems. Use heat or ice on your pain 2 c what will help. Learn how 2 use the 2 approaches properlly so that u will not hurt yourself any further. Question everything & preferably make the conclussions yourself.
I hope this will help u start your quest 4 better health. I will b glad 2 share more as u go by. Be well & enjoy nature.
I can understand it being related to my stomach as I do usually have pains in similar parts. Like, if the left side of my chest hurts I sometimes have pain in the left part of my stomach. I just want it to go away.
Ataki, I appreciate the help. My doctor won't give me medication for blood pressure because he doesn't feel it's a problem as it's usually under 140/90. So higher than normal but nothing bad. I'm eating very well. No salt, healthy food. I have two different dietitians trying to help me get my meals good. I do need to work out though. I don't need to lose weight. I only weigh 170 lbs. But I do need exercise. I haven't been active these past few months but I've been waiting for my health to feel better because I never felt like I could work out. Now that I feel more normal, aside from the pains, I will slowly start working out. I can't go to a gym or anything because I have no money. But I can at least be more active. As for the personal doctor, nothing I've tried helps the pain. But I guess I'll have to see if the Prozac helps. Right now I'm not sleeping much at all because I can't get comfortable at night. He also gave me a sleeping aid so I'll try that. I know rest is important. I generally feel really bad when I'm overly tired.
There is no sweating, nausea or dizziness that accompanies this pain. It freaks me out because I always think it's a heart attack.
I'm thinking of having my doc run a few tests for me, but like others here I'm thinking it may be attributed to stress and or my crappy diet that is triggering some digestive issues.
I have had this exact same pain under my left arm underneath the shoulder near the armpit. The pain under my arm like you, feels almost so sudden and out of nowhere. It's sharp, stabbing feeling where its reoccurring throbbing pain for at least a couple of minutes each time. It always starts out with chest pangs or sharp winces on the left side where my heart is. My chest usually feels heavy and compressed like someone is pushing down on it too hard. I feel for ya buddy because I freak out a little too. I always give my fiance a look like omg its happening AGAIN! I always wonder if it has something to do with the condition of my heart...stress and the mind are two powerful factors. You can't freak out because that leads to paranoia (not fact based fear) and that makes our stress worse and you cant overthink it either because thoughts can become "imagined" manifests in our bodies (feeling like everything is about to go wrong and then you feel "another pain" somewhere else). Crazy but true. I hate when it happens because I feel the same way as you. Good luck and here's to a healthy eating plan, weekly exercise routine, relaxation for the soul & and peace for a calm mind!

The fact in a previous thread you dismissed my saying Savchenko & Savchenko losing to Dube & Davison and Mukhortova & Trankov at Eric Bompard was basically a fluke since they had their worst competition ever, and have never come close to losing to either team any other time; yet now are calling P/B losing to the Shibutanis a fluke because they fell, is quite amusing at least, hypocritical at best.Actually no, S/S didn't get the bronze medal over P/B because of their superior skills. They got the medal because Fabian had an unfortunate 'fluky' fall and took his painter with him
P/B making costly mistakes in high profile competitions is also far from a fluke. It is pretty much their history.
Which team came in with a high entry seed and had the benefit of weak fields with no higher ranked teams to compete against in their grand prix assignments. Which team is brand new on the scene, and has a huge margin of potential improvement still.P/B won gold in every competition last year except a silver in the GPF, and a 4th a worlds. How did the Shibs do?
Did they win a gold in anything last season?
How many events would Pechalat & Bourzat have won if Davis & White were in the field with them, as was the case in both of the Shibutani's grand prix events. How many years of senior competition did it take Pechalat & Bourzat to finally win a senior event gold medal. Yeah I thought so.
Anyone could break up and get hurt. More likely an older team that has just had a coaching split, gone through years of frusteration, and has alot of mileage on their bodies, than a very young fresh team of siblings who medalled at their first Worlds.Sure, they have time to break up and get hurt.
