Working with a population that is quite literally going through a physical metamorphosis is a sensitive topic of exploration. The hyper-awareness adolescent girls have related to their physical changes is now subject to the hyperactive self-surveillance tactics they impose on their everyday lives and broadcast daily through social media channels.
The contemporary population has embraced digital media as a tool for validation and experimentation in adopting media representations of what it means to be a girl.
Much has been written about the self-surveillance and self-objectifications that pre-teens and teens are experiencing while consuming a heavy diet of fantasized and consumerized beauty standards and what it means to perform gender. There is no shortage of research on the alarming trends of the dire consequences that this Western media diet has had on young girls transitioning into women. As I mention in my blog, they are blinded by "beauty."
For me, this is personal. I have two daughters navigating adolescents along with several nieces currently traversing this media wilderness. My current work is an exploration using art to interrupt the passive consumption of media and invoke critical reflection into the conversation.

X.Org 6.9 / 7.0 – Next Generation X11
The first major X release for over 10 years, X11R7, has finally adopted a modular approach. X11R6.9, which uses the same codebase, is the last monolithic release for existing systems.
Even as AIGLX and Xgl are making their appearance in the Linux world, the venerable X Window system is getting a new start with a new release that promises to be the biggest change in over 10 years. X Window provides the basic framework for graphics in Linux. Desktop environments like KDE and Gnome operate through X, or more specifically, X11, the reigning version of the X protocol, which has been around since 1987. The X.org Foundation [1], a non-profit organization that has led X11 development since 2004, recently announced the simultaneous release of X11 versions 6.9 and 7.0. Both versions offer similar features. The main difference is that X11R7 comes with an all-new modular design.

CONNEAUT — Charges are pending after police broke up a drinking party early Sunday morning attended by 16 underage people.
A 21-year-old man whom police said tried to thwart officers' attempts to crash the party could be charged with obstructing official business, officers said.
Police were contacted shortly before 12:30 a.m. about a party under way at a house on Daniels Avenue. Parents in the household were out of town and their 17-year-old son was hosting the party, officers said.
Police knocked on the door and heard the sound of bottles clinking and people scurrying around. A handful of young people passed by the door and down a set of steps, officers said. No one came to the door, police said.
In view of police were packages of beer.
While still knocking, officers said the male suspect emerged from the basement steps, locked the door as police were telling him to open the door and then returned to the basement. Police were able to locate a caretaker who arrived at the house and convinced the son to open the door. The caretaker entered and moments later the son opened the door to officers, according to a report.
Police said they found four juveniles on the premises (three 17-year-olds and one 15-year-old), a dozen people under the age of 21 years and three people 21 years or older. Beer, vodka and other alcoholic beverages were found in the house, officers said.
One male damaged a small basement window while trying to escape, officers said.
The son of the homeowners admitted hosting the party but said he did not provide any of the beverages, police said. The boy was claimed by a relative, the caretaker secured the house, the alcohol was dumped and the party-goers released to parents or guardians, officers said.

After opening the Little League 11-12 softball state finals at Lebanon with a big 11-1 win over Southport, New Albany dropped a couple of tough decisions over the weekend.
Now New Albany will need a win over Anderson Riverfield this afternoon and some help to advance to Tuesday's elimination round.
"We still have a possibility," New Albany manager Darrell Thomas said. "We have to approach it like it's another district championship against our biggest rival [because] 2-2 could still get us in."
On Sunday, New Albany jumped out to a 6-2 lead on Bedford before its opponent scored the game's final six runs for an 8-6 victory.
After Bedford scored two in the first, New Albany answered to tie the game at 2-2. Then in the second, the New Albany All-Stars took a 6-2 lead with a four-run second inning.
However, Bedford brought in a new, slower pitcher and New Albany could never solve her.
"She kept us off balance," Thomas said. "We couldn't keep from being out in front of her. Everything was off the end of our bats."
Anya Davenport led the New Albany offense by going 2-for-2 with a pair of RBIs. Kelsey Thomas and Camri Thomas each went 2-for-4 with a run.
On Saturday, defending state runner-up South Bend South East handed New Albany its first loss of the tournament.
Brianaa Schoenfeld went 2-for-4 with three runs and three RBIs in the loss. Camri Thomas and Erin Bell also went 2-for-4. Thomas knocked in three runs and Bell added an RBI for New Albany.
Schoenfeld also pitched a complete game.
"She pitched a great game and she helped herself with the bat and on the base paths," Coach Thomas said of Schoenfeld.

The Real Chicago Deep Dish Pizza Dough38 Reviews 8 Pics
Prep10 m
Ready In6 h 25 m
"I have it on good authority that this is the real deep dish pizza dough that's used in Chicago. The real thing is nothing like bread, or even pizza, dough. It is a buttery, flaky crust that is achieved by: 1) using corn oil (not butter) and 2) minimal mixing and kneading times. The pizza itself is built with cheese, toppings, and sauce, in that order. I suggest you use 6-in-1® tomatoes which are far superior to other brands. Classico® ground tomatoes are very similar. Contrary to popular opinion, cornmeal is not used in the dough by Chicago pizzerias."

- Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a bowl. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
- Combine yeast mixture, flour, corn oil, and kosher salt in a large stand mixer with a hook attachment; knead until dough holds together but is still slightly sticky, about 2 minutes.
- Form dough into a ball and transfer to a buttered bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with a towel and allow dough to rise at room temperature until double in size, 6 hours.
- Punch down dough and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Press dough into a 10-inch deep dish pizza pan.

Alright, first reviewer! I took the gamble on making this crust without any reviews to go off off, and i'm glad I took the chance. Now let me share my experience to make the next guy or gal more confident about making this. First, I actually made two batches of this dough. I made one exactly as is, for comparison, and I made another using the dough cycle on my bread machine. I could not decipher any difference in the finished product either before or after baking comparing the dough prepared as indicated, and prepared in the bread machine. For the bread machine crust, I put all the liquid ingredients (water and corn oil) in the machine, followed by all the solid ingredients. I let my breadmaker run on the dough cycle, which is a 90 minute cycle. I left the house after that and so the dough sat in the machine for about 5 hours after the cycle had finished... and when all was said and done the two dough balls worked the same. SO, if you want to save some time/effort, feel free to use your bread machine. Now, on to the crust. I can't stress enough the importance of flattening the crust, and then letting it rest for 10-15 minutes before trying to stretch it into the pan. Otherwise, when you try to press the crust against the sides, it will fall back down toward the center. Finally, I pre-baked the crust for 10 minutes, added cheese, pepperoni and then the tomatoes, and then baked another 30 minutes. The end result... soft and flavorful. Pizzeria style for sure! A+
Baking Nana
Great dough. I actually left mine on the counter a lot longer than 6 hours - more like 14 hours. Dumped into an oiled cast iron skillet and topped as directed - cheese first, Parmesan and mozzarella then some left over double tomato bruschetta and some fresh orange bell peppers. 450 for about 23 minutes was all it took. Very nice. A great dough for busy working mom's and dad's who can make the dough in the morning and have dinner ready in a flash that evening. Thanks for a great recipe.
Handsdown BEST pizza dough I've tried yet. I'm so glad I didnt go my normal route and find a recipe with a million reviews. I doubled the recipe when I made this and was able to make a calzone and two medium sized pizza's. I wasnt able to let it rise for 6 hours I only had 2 hours but it still turned out perfect! Thanks for the recipe owensjo, my journey to find the perfect pizza dough has come to its end!!

His journey back to the early 1960s seems to offer him the chance to start over in a simpler, safer world. But he finds that the tunnel holds a danger far greater than anything he left behind: a human killing machine escaped from a bleak and brutal future, who will do anything to protect the secret passage that he thought was his alone. To preserve his worlds, past and present, Tom Winter must face the terrors of an unknown world to come.

It makes a funny sort of sense that singer/songwriter Will Oldham would be an Everly Brothers fan. If we're going to play the obvious critical connect-the-dots, both Oldham and Don Everly were born in Kentucky. Don and his brother, Phil, grew up as performers, playing music with their parents as part of a family musical act before becoming post-pubescent pop stars. Oldham was a working teenage actor who won some sizeable film roles before turning to music full-time in his 20s. But there are also unsuspected connections that Oldham makes on his new album with Faun Fables' Dawn McCarthy, What the Brothers Sang (Drag City).
See, most people who might say they love the Everly Brothers probably only know the string of hits the duo launched in the mid-'50s, country-tinged close-harmony marvels like the music-box ballad "Devoted to You," which Oldham and fellow singer/songwriter McCarthy warble their way through here. But Don and Phil ran out their string of smashes by the early '60s, victims of career disruptions and changing musical fashions. By the time the Beatles (big Everlys fans) hit the JFK tarmac, the brothers were successful mid-20s has-beens. They kept making music, though with far fewer folks paying attention, and that's the period Oldham and McCarthy dwell on here. It's a rich stretch of the brothers' art that many won't know, though fans of Oldham's oeuvre will find themselves on surprisingly familiar ground.
"The clubs are all closed and the people are leaving," McCarthy sings solo to start the opening track, "There's nobody nobody knows on the street." After a startling key modulation, Oldham and the full band join in; the lyrics obliquely weigh the minor fame of being a weeknight headliner with all that you lose by living on the road. The Everlys sang an existential touring ballad? They did—Kris Kristofferson's "Breakdown," included on their 1972 album Stories We Can Tell, the cover of which features the brothers parked in a graffitied backroom somewhere, Don sporting a leather trench coat and a giant furry Russian-style hat. These are not the Brylcreemed, safe-as-milk moppets we knew. Kristofferson's song isn't particularly debauched, but it is weary, fatalistic. It's a song for grownups to sing.
Many of the songs on What the Brothers Sang are covers of covers, versions of songs written by other people that the Everlys cut at some point during the '60s and '70s. But whether written by others or written by Don Everly, the duo's primary creative force, the songs Oldham and McCarthy sing here paint a likeness of someone taking a look back at life, ruminating on heartaches and disappeared times and what life has to offer from here.
There is a Baroque courtliness to several of these tunes, no doubt fallout from the Beatles' mid-career experiments (Don was a fan, too), in the vaguely longing lyrics and flute melody of "Empty Boxes" (written by Ron Elliot) or the less coy longing and flute melody of "My Little Yellow Bird" (written by Don under a pseudonym). There is nostalgia for a rural way of life past, as spelled out in Tony Romeo's upbeat guitar-pop tune "Milk Train," but also smuggled desire for a certain female passenger. The nostalgia in John Denver's "Prayers, Poems and Promises" is overt, as the singer deems "it's been a good life all in all" as he and his buddies sit around the fire "and pass the pipe around" and ruminate on the alliterative topics of the title.
And in "Omaha," a Don Everly song from his 1971 solo debut, you can hear artistic ambition and the kind of musical sweep that's rare in callow young artists, all housed in a multi-movement ode to finding love and contentment in the middle of the map. Listening to "Omaha" as it builds and shifts amid layered harmonies and disparate lyrical sections, you can hear the sound of a talented man who would have loved the chance to be taken as seriously as Lennon/McCartney or Ray Davies. But most likely Oldham and McCarthy's recording will be the first time most have ever heard it.
These sort of rueful, indistinct emotional states are Oldham's métier; the small-combo pop/country hybrid arrangements don't stray far from the Everlys' originals, nor would they sound out of place somewhere along the continuum of Oldham's recordings. By digging into the Everlys stuff that they respond to, Oldham and McCarthy present an entirely different Everlys than the duo we commonly know, and present a cogent album of their own.
They can't approximate the brothers' genetic-level harmonies, and so their duets are more two distinct personalities sharing a line than a more-than-the-sum-of-its-parts blend. But there are places on What the Brothers Sang where what the brothers sang fades into the background. Phil sang lead on the original 1965 single "It's All Over," a heartbreak ballad penned by Don and festooned with a harpsichord accompaniment. McCarthy and Oldham deliver Don's spare lyrics of deadpan romantic doom together, but somehow slightly apart, which only makes it sadder. "I just stopped living/ When you said goodbye" comes off more devastating when you don't sound like a beaming teen.

Daniel Fisher, Forbes Staff
I cover finance, the law, and how the two interact.
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a pair of cases that could — but likely will not — establish a nationwide, constitutional right to gay marriage. The cases leave the high court plenty of escape hatches from taking a big step the country may not be ready for yet, said William Eskridge, a constitutional law scholar at Yale Law School who contributed the legal reasoning that helped decide one of the cases, a challenge to an anti-gay marriage referendum in California.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear Hollingsworth v. Perry, the California case, as well as U.S. v. Windsor, a challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Both go to the core of one of the most divisive issues in American politics, the equivalent of interracial marriages in the 1950s. Very few people today would seriously support legal restrictions on a marriage between a white man and a black woman, but it wasn't until the high court's 1967 decision in Loving v. Virginia that such laws were declared unconstitutional nationwide. Eskridge, whose scholarship has focused on how the Supreme Court adapts to mass political movements, thinks the country hasn't yet reached a similar consensus on gay marriage.
"The Supreme Court would not have decided Loving in the 1950s," he told me. "I would be very surprised if the court issues an opinion that spells the doom" of anti-gay marriage laws.
This may seem strange coming from the man who has supplied much of the legal reasoning undergirding the decisions that have supported gay rights, including 2003′s Lawrence v. Texas, invalidating state anti-sodomy statutes. But Eskridge teaches his students — I was one of them a decade ago — that the court responds slowly to broad social movements that implicate changes in civil rights. Only after Thurgood Marshall and his colleagues had pursued and won lawsuits challenging "separate but equal" school facilities in courts across the country was the Supreme Court willing to take the momentous step of declaring school segregation to be unconstitutional in Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954. It took many years more for lower courts to enforce its provisions.
We're at a similar point in the evolution of public thinking about gay marriage, Eskridge said. He described a recent luncheon meeting he attended in St. Louis where he asked some members of the audience how Missourians would respond to a Supreme Court ruling subjecting gay-marriage bans to the nearly insurmountable constitutional standard of strict scrutiny. "The guns would come out," one attendee told him.
In Hollingsworth, the court will review a Ninth Circuit decision upholding a lower court's invalidation of California's Proposition 8 making same-sex marriages illegal. The lower court issued a broad ruling declaring the law, passed by statewide referendum, to be unconstitutional. The Ninth Circuit adopted Eskridge's narrower reasoning that the referendum was invalid because it stripped a minority group — same-sex couples — of fundamental rights they had already possessed, albeit briefly, after some California cities started issuing marriage licenses.
The Supreme Court gave itself one out by asking lawyers to decide the question of Article III standing, or whether the plaintiffs challenging the Ninth Circuit even had the right to appeal. The plaintiffs are supporters of Prop. 8 but defenders of the ruling can argue they didn't have a direct stake in the outcome and therefore can't sue. If the court accepts that argument, it may send the case back to the district court for review and an uncertain future because the original court ruling technically only prevented certain state and local officials from enforcing Prop. 8. The high court also could agree with the Ninth Circuit's reasoning — meaning only same-sex couples in California would maintain the right to marry.
In the DOMA case, the court also has asked both sides to answer the standing question. The Obama administration has refused to enforce the law, so there is a legal question whether having won a lower-court ruling declaring DOMA unconstitutional, it has standing to pursue an appeal. House Republicans, who are suing to overturn the lower court decision, would be subject to the same question.
As Lyle Denniston wrote on Scotusblog: "If the Court were to rule that the Court lacks jurisdiction, after finding that the Administration is not a proper one to appeal a ruling that it had won, that presumably would end that case."
The liberal minority on the court may vote in favor of broad constitutional protection for same-sex couples, and Justice Anthony Kennedy may even join them. But Eskridge thinks the time isn't right yet. While "there is a distinguished tradition" on the Court of overturning popular referendums that are discriminatory — including Romer v. Evans, in which Kennedy voted with the majority to strike down a Colorado state constitutional amendment prohibiting gay-rights laws — the court can also use these cases to delay a final decision on the constitutionality of gay marriage. Even Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has repeatedly stated that Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision legalizing abortion, was decided too early.
"Justice Ginsburg built an entire career around going slowly on women's rights," said Eskridge.
On one question that has puzzled me, Eskridge had a direct and nearly irrefutable answer. What's the big deal, I asked, about whether same-sex couples have the word "marriage" on a certificate if they can obtain civil unions that are identical in every other way? "Let's engage in a thought experiment about Loving v. Virginia," he said. "What if the Supreme Court had invented a new form of marriage for people of different races?" The rights would be identical, he said, only the state would provide a different certificate for white couples than it issued for couples of mixed races. The idea seems ridiculous now. Some day, perhaps, the same thinking will apply to same-sex marriage. It will probably take years, and a lot more litigation, to get there.
No… at the end of the article you said that 'you' were puzzled by this: "What's the big deal, I asked, about whether same-sex couples have the word "marriage" on a certificate if they can obtain civil unions that are identical in every other way? " You're not reporting here – you don't think 'separate but equal' is a big deal when it comes to the issue of marriage.
Also – Civil unions do nothing when it comes to DOMA, so, for example, civil unioned couples get hit with inheritance taxes whereas they wouldn't if they were married; you can't 'civil union' someone from overseas and they get residency rights, etc…
Being black, left-handed or being gay is just as natural. It is a sometimes rare occurrence to fall in Love and to hold that person in your heart and be loved in return … it is something that should be celebrated! If it's between two guys or two girls — all the better. It takes even more courage to defend that LOVE!
The evil writings in Leviticus 18:22 … against gays – depict: "P" … "priestly rules" & expanded by the pope; homophobes and religious frauds … to attack the gay community and never meant to apply to the public — but to priests. Leviticus was written long after Moses — 600BC.
There is no scientific evidence to prove any of the cross related bogus elements of christianity and other religions. Our early human ancestors; on this earth … go back more than 6 million years … 5,996,000 years before the Greeks, Romans and the Jews. Christianity is basically a 2012 year old fictional cult.
In the year 300 AD when Emperor Constantine, who to some was the first pope; went on to fabricate & market Christianity!
Christianity is a fantasy; which turned out to be one of the most hateful & evil concoctions ever perpetrated on the world.
It is written; so therefore it shall be? We are the chosen people? Such a wicked fantasy. To see the religious lunatics manipulate government and our lives is shameful.
The pope and churches fully aware that Leviticus 18:22 applies to priests only … refuse to remove this stigma … maliciously persecuting gays. Kids are being bullied into suicide …!
Someone left the door of the asylum ajar — the religious extremists are loose & they are all in the Republican Party! Religion; is the biggest bully on the block!
"The guns would come out" if SCOTUS upholds the civil rights of a minority group? Are these opponents of equal marriage threatening to shoot Supreme Court judges or gay and lesbian couples? It is precisely the implied threat to civil society by the bigoted, anti-gay opponents of equal rights that should prove to any reasonable member of the court just precisely what motivates these people (hate) and what the LGBT community courageously confronts in trying to live our lives. If reason prevails, the Supreme Court will do the right thing and make marriage an option for all — straight or gay, Californian or Missourian. If they don't, they will have caved to the violent and bigoted sentiments you can hear in that ridiculous statement. (That right-wing bigot might want to remember, though, that gays also have access to guns to protect our families and so might want to be careful about not making idle threats….)
"Let's engage in a though experiment about Loving v. Virginia," he said. "What if the Supreme Court had invented a new form of marriage for people of different races?".
Despite the typo (what is a "though" experiment), this is the real meat of the matter in my opinion. Separate is most definitely not equal and as a gay person Civil Unions are an absolutely humiliating acquiesces to the religious conservatives who who have bullied their doctrine into the constitutions of so many states. Equality for all is a pretty simple concept really; hopefully the justices will get this right.
Mr. Fisher, thank you for your thoughts. However, your "What's the big deal" question and Mr. Eskridge's response completely miss the mark. There is no way that a civil union can be identical "in every other way" because they do not afford gay couples any of the same rights of "married" couples under federal law due to DOMA: IRS – joint tax returns and the estate tax exclusion, SSA – survivor's SS benefits, ICE – green cards for out-of-status partners, health insurance coverage for partners of federal employees – the list goes on. Only "marriage" affords these couples such federal rights, because the federal statutes are riddled with the word "spouse," and you can only be a "spouse" if you are "married," per DOMA. With all due respect, sir, that's the "big deal." However, I totally agree that the outcome will not "legalize" gay marriage in the United States, but instead the Supreme Court will use its "outs" for Prop 8 (gay Californians will have the right to marry again) and DOMA (gay couples married in States that allow gay marraige will get their federal benefits).

The school system currently pays $24,401.06 per month in pre-negotiated payments — $9,666.67 for sewage and $14,734.39 in principal interest on a bond payment for capital improvements and maintenance.
Superintendent Dr. Tom Sisk announced the figures during the Nov. 15 Limestone County Board of Education work session.
The figures are based on a three-year contract signed by then-Superintendent Dr. Barry Carroll and then-LCWSA General Manager Tony Sneed in 2006 and renewed in 2009.
Sisk was hired as superintendent in June, and Byron Cook became the general manager for LCWSA in June 2010. The sewage contract was renewed in 2009 for another three-year term, but it expired in October and was not renewed by the Water & Sewer Authority.
Perception differences
According to Sisk, the school system provided $2.2 million to build 10 sewage treatment sites, which were "deeded over to the Limestone County Water & Sewer."
"In exchange, we paid a locked-in rate (for sewage)," Sisk said. "They came to us and said they were operating at a loss. They've had to put $5 million or $6 million into these facilities … they had an administrative change and a different vision for Limestone County Water & Sewer."
Cook did not specify the cost per thousand of gallons for LCWSA, which has flow meters to gauge usage at the treatment sites.
"There are 13 to 15 package treatment plants in the county, and we've been trying to eliminate some of them and turn some of them into pump stations for treatment," Cook said.
Both sides agree an increase is warranted in lieu of the expired contract, but they differ on which costs the school system should pay.
LCWSA wants the increase based on the breakdown of costs, which Cook said includes labor, maintenance and chemicals. Sisk said the amount should be based on usage by the schools and estimated the school system would be paying "as high as $60,000 a month" based on the LCWSA's cost estimates.
"The contract had a set fee, and it expired this year," Cook said. "It was undervalued the first time … the Limestone County Water & Sewer Authority operated basically at a loss for those years, and we're trying to break even. We're not trying to make money.
"You can look at it one of two ways, a breakdown of costs or the cost per thousand gallons … we're trying exactly to give cost analysis, and we have to account for costs."
"I do believe we should pay for what we use," Sisk said. "Never in my 25 years of education have I received a utility bill that had costs broken down for labor, depreciation of labor and chemicals. You would think these are associated with the costs of doing business.
"Their intention is not to cut us off, and I think they have tried to help us. They have a perception of what's fair to them, and we have a perception of what's fair for us."
Timing of increase
The LCWSA met with county school officials in October to discuss the increase, which will not take effect until an agreement has been reached. They will negotiate again Jan. 10 in an administrative session that will include Cook, Sisk, Limestone County Schools Chief Financial Officer Jonathan Craft and School Board President Bret McGill.
"They have a genuine desire to work with us, but their backs are against the wall because they are operating at a loss … personally, I'd like to pay like any other customer," Sisk said. "Had they brought this to us before we made our board budget, we probably could have accounted for it."
The increase is expected to take effect during the 2012-13 fiscal year, which runs from October to September for both entities.
"We'd like to get it done as soon as possible, but we're cognizant of the fact of their budget already being set — ours is already set, too," Cook said. "We hope to have it incrementally (increased) before then (October 2013).
"We know they have a new superintendent and their budget is fixed. We're not trying to gouge them — we're just trying to cover costs."

I'm new to linux and was wondering if I could get some help. I have the CD and rEFIt on my comp. I have installed Ubuntu and even got through the set up. But when I restarted my machine and selected Ubuntu, it would load the grub and then the screen would go black with a small white cursor (flashing underscore). It would stay like this for a few seconds but then the screen would shut off and upon turning back on the screen would be black with a small box with a random character in it.
I've tried multiple times and the character is different every time. I can't get back to any part of linux at all and was wondering if maybe I'm missing something.
Please help!

Quality Looking Fireplace
By SoCal Dog Lover

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about ClassicFlame Franklin 23" Cabinet Corner Electric Fireplace in Roasted Mahogany - 23DM871-PM97:
I placed the fireplace in the corner with the included optional corner part, and I love how it fits in the corner of my living room. I was surprised how great looking the wood is. Also the gray "tile" around the front isn't bad looking. The room I placed it in is dark, so it is very realistic looking. The flames are better looking that I imagined. I am very happy with the fireplace. Hardest part was putting it together. It took my sister and I over an hour to assemble. The instructions were pretty easy to follow along, there is just a lot of steps.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I would buy this product again and again
By Pam
from Port Charlotte, FL
I have had to replace the corner part from particle board to real board. I lost the remote control & the Company won't replace it. They say I have to contact Twinstar. They are the manufacturer. So, once Electric Fireplaces.com sells the fireplaces & gets paid, their part is done.
Attractive addition
By warmth-seeker
from Durham, NC
I am happy with this purchase. It arrived quickly and in good condition. It is a beautiful piece. My husband and I disagree about the realism of the flame. I think it is fine as long as you don't look too carefully, but it isn't very realistic to me. My husband likes it better. I don't think it gives off very much heat, but I've never had an electric fireplace before so my expectations might be unrealistic. It wouldn't really heat a room---not very well and certainly not quickly. It does help to take the chill off, and it adds psychological warmth and charm.
Hassle free purchase

Replaced an old wood stove which was not to code. Installed as a corner unit.
Love It!!!!!
By Artist Gina C
from Sea Isle City, NJ
Absolutely love it! Looks great in my small living room. Very easy to put together, although there were no "pre-drilled holes". Not a problem, small bit on drill solved problem easily. Tolerances are great. I'm 63 years old and it only took me about 1 hour to unpack, assemble and enjoy!!
Well done
By Warm and dry
from New Westminster, BC
Fireplace is great. A real asset to the room.Thermostat seems to be too low. Thus 20 degrees Celsius setting means that room heats to 25 before fireplace shuts off.Also Celsius thermostat could be set to half degree to give similar fine control to Fahrenheit settings.Would benefit from being able to change thermostat from remote control.
Nice looking realistic flame
By Karen
from Lanesboro, MA
We are using this fireplace in our basement and we love it. It doesn't throw out a tremdous amount of heat, but it's enough to make a difference. And it looks like it was made specifically for my room!
Service and delivery comments:
Very quick delivery. It arrived in good condition.

About Me Budget Shopper
Have a real fireplace, but the pain of getting wood wasn't worth it. Then got a gas fireplace inserted into real fireplace, but with natural gas prices where they were, that didn't work. Plus with the gas - didn't really heat unless you were right on top of it. This electric fireplace, so far, has proven to be the best bet. Looks real and gives off real heat!!!!
Great Fireplace
By Kyle

Using this to heat our basement lounge. So far it works and looks great. Took about an hour to assemble, but was quite easy to do.

The scene was both familiar and unique...
A hundred plus dedicated state home school leaders, lobby packets tucked under their arms and wearing lapel stickers that declared "Home School Freedom Works!," walked the halls of Congress in March. Their message was simple, families who home school do a great job and want to be left alone.
"I see the home schoolers are on the Hill today," said Senator John McCain to HSLDA staffer Samuel Redfern on the subway to the Capitol building. "Are you going to visit my office?"
These kinds of "chance" encounters are a valuable way to get "face-time" with members of Congress whose high pressure schedules are a rush. Redfern took advantage of the opportunity and had a 15-minute conversation with the senator about our legislative agenda. "I handed him our lobby folder and he promised to read it," said Redfern.
Paul Matte of New York's Loving Education at Home had a similar story. "We were told that our senator, Hillary Clinton, did not have time on her schedule for a visit," said Paul. "But suddenly we spotted her in the hall. I walked up and she immediately saw my home school sticker. We had a very nice 10-minute conversation and she proudly related to me the time she represented a home school family back in Arkansas."
"Those are just two of the stories we heard after the event," said Doug Domenech, executive director of HSLDA's National Center for Home Education which sponsored the event. "Having these state leaders come to Washington is invaluable to the success of achieving our legislative agenda."
The National Home School Leadership Summit which was held March 28-30, 2001, attracted delegates from 48 states. The purpose of the event is to provide state leaders with an opportunity to lobby their representatives on national issues of importance to the home schooling movement.
"This year," said the National Center's Manager of Federal Policy and Research Caleb Kershner, "we selected several key issues to lobby on: ending the marriage tax penalty, and protecting home school freedom in the president's education plan."
"The summit is about more than lobbying," said HSLDA President Michael Smith. "It is a great opportunity for leaders to get to know one another and share ideas."
On the first night, HSLDA hosted an opening banquet and tour of our new headquarters in Purcellville, Virginia. The 20-member Patrick Henry College Chorale welcomed the state leaders to the facility, and afterward a town hall session featured state leaders sharing stories about legislative successes and challenges faced in their states.
Up early on Thursday, the state leaders were ferried to Capitol Hill by van. Representative John Hostettler of Indiana arranged for HSLDA to use the main House Judiciary Committee room in the Rayburn House Office Building for our meeting (a room many Americans became familiar with during the recent impeachment hearings). Thursday afternoon began visits to congressional offices on the Hill. These lobbying visits resulted in dozens of face-to-face meetings with members of Congress and their staff.
On the final day of the event�Friday, the leaders returned to Washington for a special private briefing by members of the White House staff. The meeting, held at the Old Executive Office Building was chaired by Tim Goeglein, special assistant to the president, and leaders were briefed by Deputy Secretary of Education William D. Hansen and Deputy Director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Don Eberly. Leaders had the opportunity to question them about the president's education plan and faith-based initiative proposal. After the White House briefing, state leaders returned to the Hill for more lobby visits before flying home that evening.
"We believe that many in Congress heard the message loud and clear today that 'Home schooling freedom works!'" said HSLDA President Mike Smith. "These home school leaders work very hard to preserve and advance freedom in their states. It's exciting for us to be part of a day like today�when leaders from across the map bring the cause of home school freedom to our nation's capital."
Chicken run!

A woman was beaten at a McDonald's drive-thru in Lorton, and Fairfax County Police are still on the lookout for two suspects in connection with the Dec. 20 incident.
"It happened so fast," said the victim, 27-year-old Rakia Parker, to MyFoxDC.com.
Parker's nose was broken and her cheekbone fractured when, from her car in the drive-thru of the Gunston Plaza McDonald's, she honked her horn and asked a group of males standing at the drive-thru window to move.
"...Two of them just started punching me through the window all up the side of my face. The whole time he was punching me, he said absolutely nothing," Parker told MyFoxDC.
One suspect, Daniel Kim, was arrested at the scene and charged with assault and drunk in public. Police did not have descriptions of the other suspects.

|UAW Local 1097
Video: Welcome to UAW Local 42 in Chattanooga, Tennessee!
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The UAW today announced the formation of UAW Local 42, a new local union providing representation for employees at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga.
Organized by Volkswagen employees, Local 42 offers workers the opportunity for a voice in the workplace through the German automaker's "works council" approach to employee engagement. Volkswagen's business model is premised on employee representation, and Local 42 will represent any interested employees who join the local as members. No employees will be required to join.
"Earlier this year, the UAW was gratified to earn the confidence and support of many Volkswagen team members," said Dennis Williams, president of the UAW. "At that time, we said we would not give up on these committed and hard-working employees. We're keeping our promise."
DETROIT – We commend President Obama for his leadership and support for the U.S. auto industry. His actions helped prevent a second Great Depression, saving more than a million American jobs in the process. Domestic automakers have pledged investment in U.S. plants through 2015 that will mean more than 40,000 direct manufacturing jobs in the United States.
The renewed American automotive industry is now America's No. 1 export sector. The Obama administration, American workers and retirees, and the U.S. automotive industry made tough choices and sacrifices to make this turnaround possible. The automobile sector supports over 3 million good-paying jobs in assembly plants, auto parts manufacturing, repair shops, dealerships and other supporting businesses nationwide. In 2012, U.S. automotive exports totaled $133 billion, an increase of more than $17 billion (14 percent) over 2011. Domestic manufacturing has long been the foundation of a strong middle class, and the automobile industry is the one of the most critical for U.S. manufacturing.
Under the president's leadership, we are implementing higher fuel efficiency standards from 2017-2025, effectively doubling vehicle fuel efficiency, drastically reducing carbon emissions and creating several hundred thousand jobs. About 50,000 of these jobs will be in auto parts manufacturing and vehicle assembly alone.Read more >>>
From all reports we've seen, President Obama is going to propose a budget plan this week that is unprecedented for a Democratic president. It will propose a cut to Social Security benefits for seniors, veterans and people with disabilities.
It appears the proposed cut will take the form of "chained" CPI—a discredited way of calculating annual cost-of-living increases that does not keep up with actual costs, eating into benefits.
But there's more. The president's budget proposal also would require middle-class seniors—people who make $47,000 a year and more—to pay higher Medicare premiums.Read more >>>

DETROIT – Even after Chrysler Corp.'s Gualberto Ranieri, vice president of communications, said Friday, "Let's set the record straight: Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China," the Romney campaign put out a false and misleading ad basically repeating his bogus statement made Thursday in Ohio that Chrysler was moving all Jeep production to China.
Author Greg Palast, in his book, "Billionaires and Ballot Bandits," examines the role Mitt Romney played in the Delphi bailout and how he and other economic vultures made millions as the storied parts supplier went into and came out of bankruptcy. In this video, Palast tells how Mitt and Ann Romney made at least $15 million from the carcass of Delphi and as much as $115 million.
It also shows how Romney's cronies made more than $4 billion off the bankruptcy. These same billionaires also contributed millions to his presidential campaign.
DETROIT -- Two days after GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney told a crowd near Toledo, Ohio, that Chrysler was moving all Jeep production to China, the GOP candidate appears to be unfazed by his incorrect remarks and remains mum on the subject.. Read more >>>

Written By: Elissa Murnick M.S. CCC-SLP Certified Speech Language Pathologist, Director Murnick Speech & Language Associates
Many parents of preschool age children have concerns with their child's speech and language development. More often than not, a parent has received a referral from their pediatrician or preschool teacher to seek out a speech and language Evaluation to rule out a delay or disorder.
Many parents feel overwhelmed by this suggestion and often want to wait until their child begins Kindergarten to see if he/she will outgrow the problem before then.
It is well documented that children who receive early intervention during their preschool years have greater success upon entering Kindergarten and have less of an impact socially.
Furthermore, early intervention provided to a child with speech and/or language difficulties can reduce the child's risk for future difficulties with reading and writing upon entering Kindergarten.
Although services are often available to children who qualify for a speech & language Impairment in the public schools, a child needs to have a very significant impairment in order to qualify for special education and he/she will only receive services if a significant educational impact as a result of the communication difficulty is present.
If you feel that you child has delayed speech and/or language skills, it is recommended that you pursue further evaluation and possibly treatment from a licensed, certified speech language pathologist.
Below are examples of speech & language milestones for preschool age children:
Between 4 and 5 years
- Produces sentences of 4-8 words in length
- Produces complex sentences
- Generally follows grammatical rules and uses past tense verbs, plural nouns and pronouns
- Has a speaking vocabulary of about 900-2000 words
Between 5 and 6 years
- Can tell you what objects are made of
- Knows spatial relationships (i.e. "on top" and "far")
- Can make comparisons between two objects
- Asks "How" questions
For more examples of milestones for children 4, 5 or 6 years old, please visit kindergarten milestones on my website
Children with speech and/or language delays/disorders are much more likely to experience difficulties in the classroom, specifically in the areas of writing and reading. They will have difficulties in the classroom in the following areas:
- Comprehending multi-step auditory directions
- Comprehending and using new vocabulary terms
- Processing information presented auditorily
- Speaking in grammatical correct sentences of appropriate length and complexity
A child's reading and writing skills can be affected by a speech and/or language delay demonstrated by the following difficulties:
- Determining the relationship between letters and sounds.
- Discriminating between sounds in words
- Learning sight words.
- Identifying initial and final sounds in words
For more examples of reading and writing difficulties in children, please visit kindergarten milestones on my website.
Here are some suggestions for things you can do at home with your child:
- Reading books with your child and asking questions about what is read introduces him/her to new vocabulary and allows him/her to hear grammatically correct sentence structures
- Improve phonemic awareness with word play through rhyming words or songs. Talk about how the words rhyme, begin with the same sound or end with the same sound.
- Exposing your child to new experiences will help improve overall vocabulary and improve sentence length and complexity.
If you decide to pursue a speech and language Evaluation, a speech-language pathologist will assess:
- What your child understands (Receptive Language)
- What your child can say (Expressive Language)
- Sound development and clarity of speech (Articulation).
- Your child's Oral-Motor skills (How a child's mouth, tongue, lips, etc., work together for speech as well as eating and swallowing)

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, in conjunction with state, local and tribal partners, has begun implementing its new Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power Program to help people get back into their homes as fast as possible.
The goal is to allow residents to reside in their homes while permanent repairs are underway, eliminating the need for long-term housing solutions.
STEP assists state, local and tribal governments in performing work and services essential to saving lives, protecting public health and safety, and protecting property.
The program funds certain necessary and essential measures to help restore power, heat and hot water to primary residences that could regain power through necessary and essential repairs.
Under the program, residents of designated Sandy disaster areas can have damage to their residences assessed and, where safe and practicable, have electricity restored and other basic repairs made so they can move back into their homes.
Options offered to residents by FEMA and government agencies will include:
Residential Electrical Meter Repairs. For those who can move back into their homes, where repairing the electric meter is all that's needed to have power restored. Work might include repairs to the weather head, service cable or the meter socket.
Shelter Essential Measures. For those whose home can be used to shelter-in-place, STEP will provide temporary electricity, heat and hot water to meet basic life sustaining needs while permanent repairs are made.
Rapid Temporary Exterior Repairs. This involves necessary and essential repairs to protect storm-damaged residences from further damage that may present an immediate threat to life and property, and where appropriate, facilitate sheltering-in-place pending repairs that are more permanent repairs. This may include securing broken windows, covering damaged exterior walls and roofs, patching and securing damaged exterior doors, tarp on the roof, minor electrical work and necessary inspections.
State and local governments are eligible applicants for direct federal assistance and/or reimbursement of eligible costs under the STEP program. Individual homeowners can then use FEMA traditional Individual Assistance to make permanent repairs to their homes.
An assessment will be used to recommend which elements of the STEP program are available. For information in Suffolk County, call 211. For information in Nassau County, call 1-888-684-4267.
Participation in the STEP program will make applicants for FEMA's Individuals and Households Program ineligible for further Temporary Sheltering Assistance, if authorized, or subsequent lodging expense reimbursement, once work performed under STEP is completed.

Officials say they'll have to drain water behind Bruning Dam to repair damage caused by vandalism.
Mike Onnen is general manager of the Little Blue Natural Resources District. He told the Lincoln Journal Star that big chunks of concrete were tossed down the dam riser, smashing into a valve.
He says water has gushed through the broken valve for weeks.
Repairs couldn't be made because the water pressure on the valve was too high.
So, he says, the 250-acre lake must be drawn down first.
The lake is about 4 miles from Bruning and is popular with anglers and bird hunters.
Onnen says valve will be repaired yet this fall, but the lake won't start refilling until spring.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Add overtime to Marcus Paige's area of expertise.
After a series of games with second-half offensive bursts, the North Carolina Tar Heels guard did even more damage in overtime against a bitter in-state rival.
Paige scored on a runner down the left side of the lane with 0.9 seconds left to give No. 19 North Carolina an 85-84 victory against the host North Carolina State Wolfpack on Wednesday night at PNC Arena.
"With seven seconds left, we knew we can make something happen," Paige said. "I knew I wasn't settling for a jump shot."
Paige, a sophomore, finished with 35 points, including 10 in overtime. He had just four points at halftime, so all seven of his 3-point baskets came in the second half or overtime.
Sophomore forward T.J. Warren scored the first six points of overtime as part of his career-best 36-point performance for N.C. State (17-11, 7-8 Atlantic Coast Conference), which desperately needed a resume-boosting victory.
N.C. State scored on seven of eight overtime possessions. With 7.7 seconds left, Warren missed a free throw before making the second attempt for a one-point lead.
North Carolina (21-7, 11-4) was out of timeouts and Paige drove deep into N.C. State's defense for the winning shot.
"It was great the way the game went, that's as intense as you can have it," Paige said. "They went up six (in overtime) and they thought they had the game. The margin of error when you're down six in overtime is very slim."
Paige ended up with 20 of North Carolina's final 32 points. His final shot was the most important.
"That's a hard shot," N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried said. "You have to give him credit for that. ... It's a one-basket game here and there and that's what it's such a great game."
North Carolina coach Roy Williams said he preferred that the ball was in Paige's hands.
"He's a competitor and he wants to make plays," Williams said. "He doesn't mind taking shots when they mean something."
Another offensive outburst from Warren could not be overlooked. He made 13 of 25 shots from the field.
"That's one of the best performances, no question about it," Gottfried said. "And they're trying to key on him."
North Carolina forward James Michael McAdoo, who was 1 of 10 from the field at the time, tied the game from the low post with 30 seconds to play in overtime.
Forward J.P. Tokoto scored 16 points for the Tar Heels, who won their 10th game in a row and pulled within a half-game of Duke for third place in the ACC standings.
Guard Ralston Turner had 16 points and reserve forward BeeJay Anya added 10 points for N.C. State.
North Carolina was in position to win in regulation when Paige's two free throws with 3.6 seconds left gave the Tar Heels a 61-59 edge. The Wolfpack was out of timeouts.
After the ball was batted out of bounds by North Carolina on the Wolfpack's first inbound attempt, North Carolina guard Leslie McDonald fouled Warren on the next throw-in with 1.5 seconds left. Warren sank both foul shots.
North Carolina, which trailed by 11 points in the first half, closed within one a couple of times during the first eight minutes of the second half. Paige's third 3-pointer in about a three-minute span made it 52-51 with less than eight minutes to play.
The Tar Heels took the lead on the next possession on Tokoto's basket. That was the first time North Carolina was on top in about 25 minutes of game time.
After guard Desmond Lee hit from long range for the Wolfpack, Paige's fourth 3 of the half gave the Tar Heels the lead back at 56-55.
Warren, the ACC scoring leader, picked up his fourth foul with 8:01 to play. He had 10 first-half points despite hitting only 3 of 10 shots from the field.
N.C. State held a 34-26 halftime lead despite missed opportunities to keep a larger lead at the break.
N.C. State, which played its previous three games on the road, built a 28-17 lead before the Tar Heels notched the next five points. Warren connected on a 3-point shot to shift momentum again.
The Wolfpack got a big boost from Anya, who scored eight points in the first half.
"I don't think could play any worse than we did at times in the first half," Williams said. "State wasn't great, but they were better than we were."
North Carolina began the game shooting 1-for-9 from the field, and the Tar Heels missed all three of their first-half 3-point attempts. They also made only 6 of 12 free throws in the half.
Ten turnovers, including two shot-clock violations, before the break also were costly to North Carolina.
NOTES: North Carolina re-entered the national rankings this week after a seven-week absence. ... North Carolina won the first meeting of the season with N.C. State 84-70 on Feb. 1 in Chapel Hill. ... North Carolina F Kennedy Meeks missed practice time this week with a sprained right ankle and hyperextended right knee, but he was in the starting lineup. ... Beginning with this game, North Carolina plays three of four games on the road. The Tar Heels go to Virginia Tech on Saturday. ... This was only the second home game of the month for N.C. State, but it began a season-ending stretch of three home games in a four-game span. Next is Saturday's home matchup with Miami.
