What To Do This Weekend: Go On a Treasure Hunt
Whether you live in the city, the country or somewhere in-between lazy, meandering walks on the weekend are a nice way to spend time together as a family. Personally, we like serendipitous walks, but often kids prefer to have a purpose so why not give them one and turn your outing into a treasure hunt.
Our public library used to host a treasure hunt for kids every summer and the idea is easily adapted by families. Here's what we'd suggest:
1. Write up a list of treasures to find: a red rock, a coin, a mushroom, a piece of string, a feather, etc. (choose things you'll likely find, but not too easily, in your surroundings).
2. Take a bag or basket to collect your items.
3. Cross things off the list as your kids find them.
4. Go out for ice cream to celebrate finding everything!
5. Go out for ice cream to console yourselves for NOT finding everything!
• Older kids can go on their own treasure hunt in the yard or neighborhood.
• Go on a digital treasure hunt and "take home" your treasures on your camera. This lets you expand your targets to birds, animals, trucks, people, etc.

Here is a scavenger hunt I drew that I made available to download.
What a great idea to combine a treasure hunt with a nature walk! Love it!
helebirdie - thanks for sharing your scavenger hunt template! It's fantastic. I am hoping our weather holds up so that I can try it out this weekend with my daughter.
I'm so pleased you like the scavenger hunt - I have taken it to many parks and my girls never get tired of hunting for ants and acorns - the snails are the hardest!

Aberlour malt whisky is matured in ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks and Aberlour A'bunadh single malt whisky has matured solely in sherry casks.

Should violent video games be blamed for violence such as the shootings at Newtown, Connecticut last week? Some lawmakers are asking that same question while some psychologists and most in the gaming community say no.
Bradley Metrock who owns The Score in Cool Springs, easily one of the largest video game stores in all of Middle Tennessee.
He told Nashville's News 2, "Its time for the discussion of video games and how they intersect with mental health, to really come to the forefront."
Metrock says first-person shooter games are the clearly the most popular type of game among video game customers. They have also been linked to gunmen in many of the shooting attacks in recent year.
"Some kids have no business playing Call of Duty and its time for us to reach that new level of understanding," he said.
Metrock's book, "Video Games and the Family", was written to educate parents, educators and counselors of what young people are experiencing in video games, and to help determine if they are mature enough to play.
"I think its time for parents, educators mental health professionals, counselors, to raise their level of understanding of video games, what's in them," Metrock continued. "So we can best match the right kids and adults to the right games rather than the wrong ones."
After the Connecticut shooting people are asking the question "are violent video games to blame?"
"I think video games are a big piece of the puzzle for people who commit violent crimes", but, Metrock adds, "Its not just the games themselves, it's the games falling into the wrong situations and people not being mentally mature in order to handle those games."

Do you post informative articles to your esteemed website on regular basis and yet fail to increase the traffic? The worse part is that even though you stick to all sorts of optimization techniques, yet you are not getting desired results much to your dismay. If yes, then do not worry as it is not going to work wonders until the informative and sophisticated article is devoid of images. After all, images are the crux of an article and it will be devoid of much needed sheen in its absence and there is no better place to get them than Depositphotos.
In such an age of intense competition, you need to be the best in order to be ahead of the rest. Hence, besides the pictures, content equally needs to be highly credible, relevant as well as search engine optimized. Since, both of them compliment each other and help towards carving a niche for your prized matter.. According to a saying, pictures speak louder than words and this old saying holds very much true in today's context as well.
Depositphotos make the content even more coveted than ever before!
The craze to be a prized witness to the updated and informative content along with extremely relevant and complete pictures surely matters a lot. It gives way more weight age to your whole matter like never before. Hence, you feel blessed to be a proud owner of such an informative article which can be termed as "complete" in real sense.
On the same context, it is also important to understand the relevance and importance of images.
- There have been studies which have unearthed the fact that the articles get significantly more total views in the presence of images.
- If your press release has a photo or video, then it attracts increasing numbers of readers and their percentage gain is over 45%.
- The importance of images indeed manifolds as a whopping 60% of consumers go for a business where the images and pictures are highlighted prominently in your local search results.
- 67% Customers regarded the Product picture to be extremely important while making a purchase.
- The online world has indeed gathered endless and everlasting craze. Here, the quality of the product image is highly important as you cannot overlook such an important aspect in any way. The importance of image can be gauged from the fact that it holds even more weightage than product-specific information, description along with ratings and reviews.
As you have understood the exemplary importance of images, you need to equally know as to where images are supposed to be placed:-
- It is equally important that the article should compliment the text and image together, or else the article will loose its meaning. For example, if you article concentrates on health care products, then including the image of a Laptop will loosen the authenticity of the article. Hence, the images and the text should compliment each other.
- Images equally need to be royalty free ones as this will save you from falling in any sort of legal complications. There is no dearth of websites, like Depositphotos where you can buy royalty-free images at a reasonable price. Even if you find it out of your budget, you can take advantage of their Program For Bloggers.
- You should avoid the usage of large images as they make your website run heavy. Hence, stick to small images which are equally synonymous with great punch lines. Since, they will not only result in loading quickly, but you will equally be able to attract visitors as well.
- You can start with various alignments and this will help you in positioning the images. It will give you lots of variations in your website as well.
Finally, after reading the aforesaid article, we come to know images act as the backbone and in its absence the article will indeed crumble like pack of cards. Hence, include images in a proper way and derive increasing traffic like never before. So what are you waiting for?

CRANSTON – Michael Woodmansee, who killed South Kingstown's five-year old Jason Foreman in 1975 will be early released today, two days before his scheduled release.
"The [Foreman] family is upset and rightfully so. This is the third release date change from when they first heard back in the spring that he was being released early after serving only 29 years of a 40 year prison sentence," Erik Wallin, the Foreman's lawyer said.
By LINDSAY OLIVIER
NORTH KINGSTOWN – Close to 200 hundred people braved the raw and rainy weather conditions to turn out for a stop on the Tea Party Express "Reclaiming America" tour that made a pit stop at Wilson Park, North Kingstown Wednesday morning.
So besides an earthquake and a hurricane, not all that much happened last week.
The earthquake only tickled us gently; it was more of a curiosity than a disaster in these parts.
I can't say anything about Hurricane Irene because she hadn't arrived as of this writing (We had to put the newspaper out early so we can make sure it gets to you in the optimistic expectation that you will have lights to read it by).
Let's hope everyone weathered the storm safe and dry. Meanwhile, politics marches on.
CRANSTON – Convicted child killer Michael Woodmansee has been ordered to stay in prison a little while longer due to a disciplinary infraction he committed in prison on Aug. 20.
Woodmansee was scheduled to be released Thursday, Sept. 1 but after he failed to stand for the prison count, his release date was pushed back to Sunday, Sept. 11, Rhode Island Department of Corrections spokeswoman, Tracy Zeckhausen said. The convicted child killer has agreed to commit himself voluntarily to a state mental health facility rather than be released into the community.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – John Amaral has a photo of himself at age three, in an old wooden 16-foot lobster boat.
"It weighed about eight million pounds," he laughs. "I'm wearing a little sailor hat, a bathing suit and a big smile. I've been messing around in boats ever since."
As the dust settled and people around Southern Rhode Island were finally able to take stock of just how much damage was caused by last weekend's encounter with Irene, a tropical storm by the time it graced the Ocean State with its presence, there was one lesson that really stood out more than any other.
RICHMOND - Richmond police officers had little chance to rest at last month's Washington County Fair, racking up a whopping 33 arrests in just four days.
The fair lasted from August 17 - 21 and all of the arrests were made on the first four days, making it the busiest week for the department this year, according to Police Chief Elwood Johnson.
"This is by far the busiest week we've had since I've been here," he said. Johnson became the chief of Richmond Police in 2010.
By MARTHA SMITH
Special to the Standard
NORTH KINGSTOWN – The sound of chainsaws filled the air Monday in Shore Acres, the popular waterfront community that's a mix of summer cottages and year-round homes between Fishing Cove and Narragansett Bay, south of Electric Boat.
A big tree was down at the corner of Camp Avenue and Asqah Drive.
JOHNSTON - A ceremony was held at the headquarters of the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation (RIRRC) on Wednesday, Aug. 24, to distribute profit shares to the 39 cities and towns of Rhode Island. Over $1.8 million of profits yielded from the sale of recyclables was divied up, and Charlestown, Richmond, Hopkinton and Westerly each got their share.

Some Casey Anthony Evidence is Worthless
Is the case being built against Casey Anthony focusing on the wrong evidence?
The recent "document dump" from The State Attorney's Office contains, as Nancy "Hyperbolic" Grace would say, "bombshell" evidence. The duct tape, the serial number on the shirt, the laundry bag, the heart stickers (to name just a few) all seem overwhelming. But some of the evidence collected could be a stretch:
The Diary
If Anthony's diary entry, dated June 21st, was written days after she put her only daughter in a garbage bag and hauled her off to the woods, Casey Anthony will win the award as the Most Evil Mother in History. The problem is, the year inscribed on the book is 2003. In that case, Casey wrote the entry: "I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out okay," when she was 17, two years before Caylee was even born.
|The Parenting Manual
Casey apparently referred to the bestselling "Caring for Your Baby and Young Child" when raising her daughter, just like millions of mothers. In the Orange County Sheriff's Office report, it indicates that "several of the bookmarked pages had to do with child tantrums." If this is supposed to prove Casey was having a hard time dealing with a her toddler, get in line. The toddler years are the most challenging child-rearing stages. If referencing a self-help book is a clue Casey killed her toddler, then do we all stand on the precipice of doing something we'll regret?
|Casey's Relationship with Her Mom
According to Casey's childhood friend Annie Downing, the relationship between Casey and her mother was strained. At Caylee's 2nd birthday party, Casey allegedly complained to Annie about Cindy's overbearing behavior: "Oh my God, this is supposed to be Caylee's day. I'm her mom. She's not her mom." Does this show motive? Yes, Casey was jealous of her mother's attention to Caylee, but couldn't Downing's description describe any mom's comment about an overbearing grandma?
Do you think all of the recent evidence is valid?
See Also:
We will have to wait and see.I do think that Casey hated that Caylee responded to Cindy as Mommy.I think Caylee was closer to Cindy because her G-ma treated her better than her Mommy did.Did you see all the matching beautiful toys,bed,clothes that Caylee had in her cute little girls room? Casey surely didn't provide those darling things for Caylee, her Grandparents did,along with 2 years filled with pure Love from their Hearts,the only Heart that Casey could give her was placed on the duct tape over her mouth!
Any one of these things alone might not be considered powerful evidence. However, they are the bricks forming the foundation of a rather large house that the prosecution is building. When you add Casey's behavior, the corpse in the trunk of her car, and dozens of other fingers pointing directly at her, then the relationship with her mother, the diary, etc. takes on new meaning. It's more the drip of an IV than it is a cannon blast. IV's may move slow, but they get the job done.
I still think Casey used chloraform to quiet Caylee, so Casey do what she wanted to do… She probably put duct tape over her mouth in case Caylee 'came to' too soon… The dose turned out to be a fatal one. From that point forward, it was all about denial and trying to cover her tracks.
It's horrible and I feel for the whole family…
Take a REALLY close look at a good picture showing Casey Anthony's entire diary — and pay particular attention to the area where the pages meet. It appears that a large number of pages were removed from that diary. There is about a quarter-inch of "gummed" area showing where it looks like there used to be pages. Now, I have quite often, started using a notebook for something or another, then, years later, removed the front pages, leaving the fly-leaf, and used it for something else. This "diary" looks just like my notebooks with pages removed. In addition — with the type of printing used on the fly-leaf, it would have left ink marks on the "June 21" entry if it was, indeed, written in 2003. Finally, forensics can test the ink on both pages to see if they are (1) the same ink, and (2) the same age. (Even though Jose Baez scoffs at "junk" science, when he has no problem practicing "junk" law!!!)
OH PLEASE don't tell me they are going to present that parenting book in court. For heavens sakes… the investigators have never known two year olds? This does not point to anything that any other mother would read and/or highlite themselves. This proves nothing. They are going overboard with this stuff, imo, and it is going to make a mockery out of the real important evidence that they have….which then is going to lead the jury to think a witchhunt is against Casey and then it will implant some doubt as to WHAT ELSE could have transpired on this witch hunt? Could they have planted evidence? OMG…this could become OJ's trial all over again. They need to CHILL OUT (the investigators)else this is not going to be good news to watch Casey Anthony walk away a free woman after everyone knows she murdered her beautiful daughter. JMHO.
Failure to report the child missing will be answered by defense as Casey was being threatened with death of Caylee and other family if she called police. Evidence found in the car will be called as strange things happened to the car when she left it after running out of gas. The chloroform measured in the trunk was too high for a decomposing body and will be explained as the child pooped her wet bathing suit after swimming in a pool which would form chloroform in the closed trunk it was thrown in. Finding the child with clothing and items from the home will be explained as the things that were with Caylee when she was last seen. The heart sticker does not match those found in the home and the laundry is a different style from the others in the home…..same brand and color but different style. The duct tape found is the largest selling brand in the USA…not good evidence unless proven to be from the same roll as the piece found on the gas tank. Trash bags are also no evidence unless found to be from the same box as the one used by Cindy to pack things for the police from her home in July. The only good evidence police have is the failure to report her child missing for 31 days and if that is explained well for her then she will be found not guilty and perhaps she is not guilty. Media needs to stop brainwashing the public with weak evidence and the lying Leonard…..no finger prints.
Jodi, are you reading and seeing the same stuff we are? I DONT THINK SO, you better do more accurate homework
Solid argument for the defense, Jodi, but the only one who alluded to not reporting Caylee missing due to fear of harm from captors was Casey when being deposed at Universal. So, to introduce the argument, the defense would need Casey to take the stand and, if they do, prosecution will have a field day with her.
I think the diary means nothing, I believe it was written in 2003 and it just as easy to read that she was writting about loosing her virginity…and she is worried about possibility of being pregnant…reread it with the mindset that she just lost her virginity on that day.
Folks, Jodi is either a troll or Cindy or convicted felon Gil Cabot/Todd Black. I don't even bother to read or respond to Jodi anymore because she spouts the same old nonsense. Jodi is either trying to spread reasonable doubt among a potential jury pool or get attention. Every piece of evidence will, of course, not be admitted in a trial, but the defense is entitled to see all documents the state has got. According to Florida law, those documents are all public record. Evidence that proves intent, premeditation, motive and forensic connecting Casey to the body and the crime scene will be admitted. The judge will admit the diary entry if experts say it was written in 2008. Forensic experts can tell that by ink stamps and comparing her 2008 handwriting. The state has a strong circumstantial case for first degree murder, according to different FBI agents, law enforcement,forensic specialists, defense attorneys and prosecutors who are discussing the case on CNN, Headline News and other networks evaluating the case. At this point the only people who are claiming she is innocent are her defense team, her parents and convicted felons who want Casey to get away with murder because they blame law enforcement and prosecutors for making them do the time for their crime.
I think the diary means a lot - Not sure where jodi is reading her information from … But everyone of us are entiled to our own oppions … As far as Biaz claiming junk science …
DNA proves a whole lot think about that Mr. Biaz … I feel sorry for the family … Think about it there whole world as crashed around them ….
The thing that is starting to bother me, is that the news stated, and they had lawyers stating that the death penalty would be back on the table, concerning the "finger prints" Which, when all the documents were dumped, were a flat out no, but the media lead us on. If you listen to the comentators, they read the diary that was writeen in 2008, but we don't know that. I think that she his guilty as the next person, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure that out. What disgusts me is the fact that news, media, etc.. are making money off this baby's death, by stringing us along with blatant false information. I wish this would just end.
This is a horrific case of a child murdered. With what evidence has been released to the public it looks like Casey killed her daughter. Casey Anthony has alrerady been tried in the public. I do not believe she can get a fair trial no matter where she goes. This is such a heart breaking story.
I have been reading through the recent documents and can't seem to find where they found the diary. Anyone know where it was found?
Yeah Jodi, sure. And the hair, later connected to Caylee, found in the trunk of the car was nonsense too. You know, the one with the death ring on it. Keep doing your backwards somersaults and ignoring the weight of the evidence. Oh yeah, and circumstantial evidence puts people away everyday, especially when it comes in vast amounts like it does here.
The defense isn't stupid enough to get rid of Baez. He is their appeal pawn. Casey didn't have able representation during her trail. There are all kinds of examples of Baez making lots of errors in his legal knowledge! She needs him in case she loses and needs to appeal. That is the reason the judge makes her come to all of the hearings. He will make sure that her rights are properly represented. Good judge, no O.J. here!!!
This just underscores the danger of trying this case - or any case - in public. There is simply no need for the public to know this evidence prior to trial. The only info the public should have had is information that would help find Caylee. I realize that the law requires disclosure in Fla. I hope the legislature will look at this case and take action. This circus should stop. As much as I dislike and even disrespect Baez, I agree with him that for the public to hear this evidence with only the prosecution 'spin' is unfair to his client. The diary page is a perfect example, quoted even today as though it were evidence. Until the '03 date is disproved, it is no evidence of anything! Yet news outlets continue to bring it up.
What gets me is that in this case they are calling it "junk" science, but a lot of specialists on that dream team practice and believe in "junk" science all the time. Have you ever watched Henry Lee prove with forensics how someone died or who was guilty? It wasn't "junk" science then, but now, in this case it is. I guess it just depends on which side is paying them!?!
I think the notebook may be originally form 2003. the page next to the June 21 entry is not a page at all ,it looks like it is the inside cover of the book. Then there is a space where it appears pages have been ripped out! This June 21st entry may very well be from 2008. Time will tell!

Kiowa and Caddo Songs, Stories and Dance Coming to Del City Library
Nearly everyone likes a good story, and that's why the art of storytelling will never die.
You can hear master storyteller Kricket Rhoads share Kiowa and Caddo songs and stories at the Del City Library, 4509 SE 15th, on Tuesday, September 30, 2008, from 6:30 to 7:30pm.
Rhoads is currently the Education Outreach Coordinator for the Historic Jacobson House in Norman, and is working toward a degree in Native American Studies at the University of Oklahoma. She has toured the state and region with her unique gift for re-creating the history and culture of the Kiowa and Caddo tribes through music, dance and narrative.
"We're lucky we were able to book Kricket for Del City," said library manager Melissa Weathers. "When we had a chance to bring her here to perform for our library customers, we jumped at it."
Rhoads has been sharing Native American culture for nearly 20 years, since she was recruited as a child to help an adult storyteller with a play. Rhoads began her own journey of storytelling when she was 18. She has more recently appeared in the movie "The Alamo" and on the television program "Walker, Texas Ranger."
"At 18," Rhoads said earlier this year, "most people are getting their first apartment and don't really know who they are. Telling stories made me delve into who I was and where I came from. It really made me look more at my heritage."
"Kiowa and Caddo Songs, Stories and Dance" is suitable for all ages and the program is free of charge, but seating is limited. For more information, call the Del City Library at 672-1377.
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres. Extensions are located in the communities of Harrah, Jones, Luther and Nicoma Park and include Wright Library in Oklahoma City. You can also reach us at www.metrolibrary.org

October 18, 2012, 1:21 PM — IBM today widened its security offerings with products and cloud-based services focused broadly on both mobile devices and Big Data, both areas where IBM foresees growth as enterprises sort out their strategies toward both.
NEWS: The 10 most common mobile security problems and how you can fight them
MORE NEWS: Presidential candidates quiet on cyber policy
The barrage of announcements from IBM include:
- IBM Security Access Manager for Cloud and Mobile, intended to support single-sign-on to cloud-based applications from mobile devices
- IBM InfoSphere Guardium for Hadoop, which extends the Guardium database monitoring capabilities to watch for intrusions into the Hadoop database used for so-called Big Data analysis projects.
- IBM SmartCloud for Patch Management, a cloud-based service for automating patching of enterprise applications.
What IBM is doing is "playing to its strengths," says Scott Crawford, analyst with Enterprise Management Associates. IBM has taken acquisitions such as BigFix for patch management and created a cloud-based service, he points out, and its Worklight acquisition from earlier this year is the foundation for the IBM Security Access Manager for Cloud and Mobile that can perform sophisticated identity and access management for apps and mobile devices.
IBM's Guardium database monitoring tool is now able to watch for unauthorized attempts to gain access to data to Hadoop. "Now the focus is on the security of Big Data, but not the Big Data of security," points out Crawford, noting the security industry is eager to explore how meaningful data-mining of massive collections of security-related data might help in risk management. But today most of the Big Data focus, still an emerging area, appears oriented toward marketing and sales.
Steve Robinson, vice president of development, strategy and product development at IBM Security Systems, says the job of data scientist for Big Data projects is seen most frequently in financial services firms, telcos and government. But Big Data analytics are also likely to be applied for the purposes of security intelligence, he says.

Jun 21 2013: I feel sad. I reckon Pakistan a part my culture, language, music and sports. Despite feuds and wars, I believe this country is closer to me than other countries.
The Pakistani stereotype is that of an eccentric, militarized, mitant rogue where most people are either terrorists or fundamentalists. I know, there can nothing be more wrong. I have good Pakistani friends and they are as good and well meaning as any people in the world.
The only problem with Pakistan, I believe, is its failure to embrace democracy, which was Jinnah's vision. Otherwise, it had the most promises of being a liberal democracy despite being Islamic.
I will welcome any Pakistani to add to my social network. In fact, there are a good number already.

Inguinal hernia - discharge
Alternate Names
Herniorapphy - discharge; Hernioplasty - discharge
When You Were in the Hospital
You had surgery to repair an inguinal hernia caused by a weakness in the abdominal wall in your groin area. You probably had general anesthesia (asleep, pain-free). You may have had a small hernia that was repaired while you were given local anesthesia (awake but pain-free).
Your nurse will give you pain medicine and help you begin to move around. Rest and gentle movement are important for recovery.
You may go home the same day as your surgery, or you may spend 1 to 2 days in the hospital. It will depend on the procedure you had.
What to Expect at Home
After your hernia repair:
- You will probably have stitches and special bandages on your incision.
- You may have some pain, soreness, and stiffness at first, especially when you move. This is normal.
- You will also feel tired after surgery.
- You will most likely return to your normal activities in just a few weeks.
- Men may have swelling and pain in their testicles.
Make sure you get plenty of rest when you get home for the first 2 or 3 days. Ask family and friends for help with daily activities while your movement is limited.
Managing Your Pain
Take all of your pain medicines as your doctor or nurse told you to take them. You may be given a prescription for a narcotic pain medicine, or your doctor may suggest over-the-counter pain medicine (ibuprofen, Tylenol) for the first 2 weeks after surgery.
You may apply a cold compress to the incision area for 20 minutes at a time for pain for the first few days. Wrap the compress or ice in a towel. Do not apply either directly to your skin.
Wound Care
Take good care of your incision and dressings.
- You will need to keep your incision covered with bandages for the first 2 to 3 days.
- A little bleeding and drainage is normal until the stitches are taken out or they dissolve. Apply antibiotic ointment (bacitracin, polysporin) or another solution to the incision area if your doctor or nurse told you to.
- You may wash the area with mild soap and water after your stitches are gone. Gently pat it dry. Do not take a bath, soak in a hot tub, or go swimming for the first week after surgery.
You may also be taking antibiotics to prevent infection. Make sure you finish the medicine as your doctor told you to.
Your Diet During Recovery
Pain medicines can cause constipation, so make sure you are eating some high-fiber foods and drinking plenty of water (8 to 10 glasses a day). Antibiotics can cause diarrhea. If this happens, try eating yogurt with live cultures or taking psylium (Metamucil).
Restricting Activities
Give yourself some time to heal. For about a week, avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, jogging, or swimming. You may gradually resume normal activities, such as walking, driving, and sexual activity, when you are ready. Do NOT drive if you are taking narcotic medications.
Do not lift anything over 10 pounds (about a gallon jug of milk) for 4 to 6 weeks, or until your doctor tells you it is okay. Older boys and men may want to wear an athletic supporter if they have swelling or pain in their testicles.
Check with your doctor before returning to sports or other high-impact activities. Protect your incision area from the sun for 1 year to prevent noticeable scarring.
Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor as directed. Usually this visit is about 2 weeks after surgery.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if you have:
- Severe pain or soreness
- A lot of bleeding from your incision
- Difficulty breathing
- Light headedness that doesn't go away after a few days
- Chills, or fever over 101 °F
- Pus, redness, warmth, or redness at the incision site
- Trouble urinating
- Swelling or pain in the testicles that is getting worse

Camper Nets First Pro Hat Trick; Ridderwall Adds 3 Points
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins defeated the Connecticut Whale 4-3 this evening at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Jamie Arniel tallied a goal and Carter Camper added three, recording his first professional career hat trick.
Looking to bounce back from last night's disappointing loss in Springfield, the P-Bruins controlled the tempo of the game from the opening faceoff. Their hard forecheck paid off at 5:47 when Calle Ridderwall caused a turnover low in the Connecticut zone allowing Zach Hamill to feed Camper from behind the net. Camper, all alone in front, easily snuck a one-timer past Cameron Talbot's glove sideto take a 1-0 lead. However, the lead wouldn't last long as the Whale answered just over a minute later with a tally from Andre Deveaux to tie the game at one. The teams exchanged opportunities throughout the remainder of the frame, but both goalies were solid between the pipes and went into the first intermission tied 1-1.
Providence continued to crash Connecticut's net in the second frame. It didn't take long for their efforts to pay off as Camper added his second of the night at 2:36 to give the P-Bruins a 2-1 lead. Hamill and Ridderwall collected their second assists of the night on the go-ahead goal. Three minutes later, Arniel made it 3-1 when his quick wrist shot from the right circle beat Talbot right under the cross bar. Craig Cunningham and Max Sauvé assisted on the play. Play started to get chippy as the minutes ticked off the clock, but Providence's penalty kill, ranked 8th in the league, was flawless until 17:17 when the Whale was finally able to crack the P-Bruins' penalty kill unit, cutting the deficit to one heading into the final frame.
The Whale tied the game at three just 1:55 into the third period when Kelsey Tessier scored on an empty net after Anton Khudobin was taken down behind the net and no call was made. Providence didn't let up, however, and continued to pressure all facets of the Whale's game, causing multiple turnovers. The line of Hamill, Camper and Ridderwall continued to impress and at 8:43 Camper collected the rebound of Ridderwall's shot and backhanded it past a sprawling Talbot for his third goal of the game and his first professional hat trick. Ridderwall tallied his third assist and point of the night on the goal. Despite late penalties, Connecticut couldn't connect on the man advantage and Providence held on for the 4-3 victory.
Khudobin earned the win, blocking 29 Connecticut attempts, while Talbot fell short, stopping 35 of 39 Providence shots.
Next weekend, the P-Bruins have a rare three-game away-stand, making stops in Worcester, Bridgeport and Manchester. The club is back in action at The Dunk with a three-game home series on March 2, 3 and 4tt.

Okay, here's the situation: You've hired a female carpenter, and while your guys are cool, she's having trouble with the suppliers and the subs. Could you be in trouble if you don't do something about that?
Well, you might. I'm not going to talk about the crazy quilt of rules in all 50 states. I'll just concentrate on the federal laws. Even though you may not be directly covered by the federal laws, odds are your state laws look very similar.
The sexual harassment rules that we're talking about in this column evolved out of antidiscrimination laws established as a result of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Those rules are based on the idea that sexual harassment discriminates against people by discouraging them from working for particular companies. The victims of this type of discrimination are typically women, though men have been found to be victims, too.
The most blatant forms of sexual harassment involve actual sexual contact. The contact might include sexual bumping, groping, or repeated unwanted attention (which can sometimes amount to stalking, a criminal offense). Some behaviors fall into the category of a quid pro quo, where a supervisor offers perks such as raises and promotions in exchange for sexual favors. The flip side is when a supervisor threatens to fire or give undesirable job assignments to an employee who refuses a sexual advance.
Other forms of sexual harassment involve behaviors that people may not think of as sexual. For example, telling crude stories, making offensive jokes, or posting lewd cartoons on the job site can fall into the category of sexual harassment. A particularly famous case involved male employees repeatedly hiding frozen bull testicles in a woman's desk. Such behaviors create a "hostile" work environment, defined as one that is so intimidating and offensive that it's difficult for the victim to work in it.
As an employer, you can be held responsible for a hostile work environment that you did not create. Legally, it makes little difference whether the hostile environment was created by you, one of your employees, or someone on the job who is not your employee. Federal cases have made it clear that an employer can be held liable for the preventable acts of a third person (customer, supplier, or sub, for example) when the victim must interact with that person as part of the job.
Liability for the actions of a person who doesn't work for you is based on the idea that employers have a duty to supervise and control what happens on their job sites and to protect their employees by responding to harassment that the employers knew or should have known about. Employers must have some level of control over the situation in order to be liable, which automatically precludes liability for first-time or for unknown activity. Employers cannot be guilty of negligence without knowledge and an opportunity to intervene.
Your employee handbook should include a sexual harassment policy. It should explain what sexual harassment is (many books and websites provide this information) and state that you will not tolerate it. The policy should also establish a complaint procedure, which tells the offended employee how to make a complaint and who to make it to.
Legal precedent has made it clear that if the employer has a complaint procedure and the offended employee doesn't complain, the employer is not guilty of allowing a hostile work environment to occur. The U.S. Supreme Court has found that employees who fail to use a company's internal complaint procedure cannot hold the company liable later on.
However, and this is very important, the complaint procedure in your handbook must be real. The court won't hold you liable for things you honestly didn't know about. But it might hold you liable if it determines that you looked the other way or went out of your way not to know what was going on.
If you get a complaint, investigate it. This does not mean you should automatically fire someone who is accused of inappropriate behavior. You can create a whole different set of problems by firing someone for something he didn't do. Start by finding out what's actually happening. If something offensive is going on, take steps to stop it. At a minimum, warn the offending party that the behavior will not be tolerated. Keep an eye on the situation so you'll know if it continues. Whatever you do, do not retaliate against the complainer.
It doesn't matter whether the offending person is a customer, a supplier, or a sub. Explain to that person that you won't tolerate such behavior toward your employees and that if it continues, you will take steps to stop it. That might include going to the offending person's supervisor or buying from a different lumberyard or supplier. If the offender is a customer, you must state emphatically that you do not allow sexual harassment on your job sites and that that rule applies to everyone. If the behavior continues, consider moving the victim to a different site or scheduling the job so the victim is never alone with the customer.
If the offending party is a sub, you can treat that sub as being in breach of contract. Of course, that only works if your subcontractor agreement states that the sub agrees to follow your policies as stated in your employee manual (and if your manual contains a sexual harassment policy). If that isn't included in your agreement, you could be held liable for helping to create a hostile working environment because you didn't see to it that your sexual harassment policy applied to your subs. You should include that stipulation in all your contracts with your subs — not just to prevent sexual harassment — but also to give you leverage on issues like job safety, job cleanup, and customer relations.
If a complaint occurs, document everything. I mean everything: the complaint, your investigation, what steps you took, and what you said to everyone including the person who complained. Be sure to date every entry. It may be annoying to have to write all that stuff down, but it could save your behind down the road.
Remember that antidiscrimination laws are not just about hiring people, they are also about making it possible for people to do the work they were hired for.

July Festivities: Fun for the Whole Family
Celebrating Independence and Freedom
Learning to make choices is an important part of becoming independent. Giving a child choices from an early age—such as selecting between two shirts or two kinds of juice—lets him practice decision-making and offers a sense of control. The hope is that as kids grow, making smart choices will become second nature.
As an activity, chart a list of choices and let your kids pick their favorites. Allowing children to select healthy snacks, places to visit, movies to see, and family chores will help them feel more responsible and bolster their self-confidence. Talk about how freedom can mean making choices.
Light Up the Sky
Fireworks don't have to last only a few, fleeting seconds. You can make your own in this painting project and use them as decorations.
Prepare several paper cups of paint. For each color, mix two parts tempera (poster) paint, one part white school glue, and a few drops of water. Put a spoonful of each color onto a sheet of paper (black paper will make paintings looks like nighttime fireworks). Then take a drinking straw and let the kids blow directly over the paint. (For little ones, first practice blowing out instead of sucking in.) Add some glitter while the paint is still wet for a "sparkler" look.
Perfect Patriotic Picnics
What's a summer picnic without games? Arrange some old-fashioned competitions such as three-legged races, pop-the-balloon, and the infamous egg (or water balloon) toss in which team members get further and further away from each other until the egg cracks (yuck!) or better yet, the water balloon pops. Here are some other games to try:
The Great Shoe-Hunt Race: Have everyone take off their shoes and place them in a pile. Blow a whistle to signal the start of the race. The players need to run to the pile, find their shoes, put them on and tie them (or secure with Velcro, for little ones), and then race back to the starting point. If you have a large group, there will be plenty of shoes to sort through. If your gathering is small, bring along a few extra pairs to make this game fun.

Early Southerners ate a rather limited and unvarying diet. At table the famished guest seldom found more than bacon, corn pone, and coffee sweetened with molasses. Pioneering sociologist Harriet Martineau complained that "little else than pork, under all manner of disguises" sustained her during her visit to the American SouthFor the most part, slaves observed the same diet as poor white farmers. Though many kept gardens, and thus supplemented their rations of pork and corn with a wide variety of vegetables, they had otherwise little opportunity to augment their diet.. Another traveler griped that that he had "never fallen in with any cooking so villainous." A steady assault of "rusty salt pork, boiled or fried … and musty corn meal dodgers" brought his stomach to surrender. Rarely did "a vegetable of any description" make it on his plate, and "no milk, butter, eggs, or the semblance of a condiment" did he once see.Christine Baumgarthuber is a writer for The New Inquiry and runs the blog The Austerity Kitchen.

I spent several days and nights in mid-September with an ailing pig and I feel driven to account for this stretch of time, more particularly since the pig died at last, and I lived, and things might easily have gone the other way round and none left to do the accounting. Even now, so close to the event, I cannot recall the hours sharply and am not ready to say whether death came on the third night or the fourth night. This uncertainty afflicts me with a sense of personal deterioration; if I were in decent health I would know how many nights I had sat up with a pig.[more inside]

A plant-based diet (see also here) may reduce the risk of allergies. Components in meat that may trigger allergic reactions include antibiotics and parasitic fish worms. Dairy has been linked to the recurrence of canker sores, and cow's milk is a leading allergen.
Though monosodium glutamate does not appear to trigger traditional allergic reactions (update here), certain artificial colorings might due to the presence of cochineal, a red coloring derived from insects. Common household chemicals may also cause allergy-related diseases.
There is no evidence that allergies to peanuts are triggered in the fetus by pregnant women consuming peanuts.
The consumption of red rice and green tea may help protect against atopic (allergic) diseases.

ALBANY, N.Y. - A federal judge has released the names of nine people, including six state senators and New York City councilman, secretly recorded by a former New York state senator embroiled in a corruption scandal.
The names were released Wednesday over the objections of prosecutors. In a separate filing a day earlier, prosecutors said eight of the nine people are under criminal investigation, including state senators Malcolm Smith and John Sampson. They have already been charged with crimes including bribery and embezzlement.
Shirley Huntley, the former senator who made the wire tap recordings, is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday after pleading guilty to mail fraud conspiracy last winter. The Queens Democrat admitted embezzling nearly $88,000 from a state-funded nonprofit she controlled.
The government revealed last week that she made the recordings in a bid for leniency.
Hutley secretly recorded conversations for the FBI during the summer of 2012 with the following: Melvin Lowe, (former political consultant and associate of New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman); State Senator Eric Adams; State Senator Ruth Hassel-Thompson; State Senator Jose Peralta; State Senator Malcolm Smith; City Councilman Rubin Wills; State Senator Velmanette Montgomery; Curtis Taylor, (former press advisor for Malcolm Smith).
The entire court document can be found below the comment section.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo says that even as the names of more lawmakers surface in a federal corruption probe, there's no significant progress in Albany toward enacting tougher anti-corruption measures.
Cuomo says some legislators see no need to act.
The Democrat says Wednesday that if a legislative solution isn't reached by the end of the session June 20, one of his options is to order a powerful commission to investigate all of state government for corruption.
He says lawmakers have strong, philosophical opposition to some measures, including the Democratic proposal to use public funds to pay for election campaigns in a voluntary matching fund system.
But he also says some simply don't want tougher laws.

Dear Karen,
If you're reading this, it means I actually worked up the courage to mail it so good for me. You don't know me very well, but if you get me started I tend to go on and on about how hard the writing is for me. This is the hardest thing I ever had to write. There no easy way to say this so I'll just say it, I met someone. It was an accident, I wasn't looking for it, I wasn't one the make it was a perfect storm. She said one thing and I said another and the next thing I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life in the middle of that conversation. Now there this feeling in my gut that she might be the one. She completely nuts in a way that makes me smile highly neurotic, a great deal of maintenance acquired. She is you Karen, that's the good news. The bad news is that I don't know how to be with you right now, and that scares the shit out of me. Because if I am not with you right now I have this feeling we will get lost out there. It's a big bad world full or twist and turns and people have a way of blinking and missing the moment. The moment that could of changed everything. I don't know what's going on with us and I can't tell you should waste a leap of faith on the likes of me. But damn you smell good, like home and you make excellent coffee that has to count for something. Call me!
Unfaithfully yours,

Dalton Roadgardens
get a face lift
Green-fingered residents on Dalton Road got
together recently for a community planting event, organised by
The inspiration for the day came from a
request by local resident, Rachel Lartey, to the Middleton Area
Panel for a one off tenant participation grant for £449 to buy
shrubs to brighten up her street. Her idea came on the back
of a successful venture with RBH last year, when householders
cleared their gardens, painted their fences and threw a community
party at the end of the day.
RBH staff brought lilac palibin bushes in the
morning for local people to collect and plant in their gardens.
"There was a real buzz at the event, said
Customer Involvement Officer, Helen Kelsall, "and hopefully there
will be more this Summer as the lilacs should encourage bees and
butterflies, as well as being highly scented."
Loretta Osunkwo said "My daughters were very
excited about today and it was great to get people chatting
Neighbour Lurline Sullivan, who helped
organise the day agreed. She said, "It was a really good way of
helping people get to know their neighbours as they came out onto
the road to join in the planting. It would be nice to do more
events like this. It's really helped foster community spirit."

Nudists seem like they'd be pretty chill people. It's the kind of thing a bunch of aging hippies do when they want to pretend that they're living in a production of Hair.
That's why a protracted legal showdown between a nudist resort and one of its residents over swinging, cock rings, and property rights is so unusual.
Catherine Holmes feels the camp has morphed from a free-wheeling celebration of Naturism into a swingers club and hostile environment for children. She wants to sell her cabin and move. Camp administrators think she's a troublemaker and want to kick her out of her cabin. They maintain that all the sexually provocative things Holmes alleges (some of which she backs with photographic evidence) are just "jokes."
If everyone agrees that Holmes should move, why can't everyone just agree to let her sell?
Because there's no shortage of cojones in a nudist colony, that's why…

Our recent Woodworker's Journal eZine Industry Interview with Rockwell Tools engendered quite a few comments, some of them unprintable, with the general take that if the tools are Asian-made, the name means little. While I will not agree with the contextual argument that an Asian-made tool is, without exception, of lower quality than a U.S.-made tool, I do agree that brand names move around a good bit.

The Ones that Get Away
When folks find out that I review woodworking tools for a living, one of the first questions they usually ask is, "Do you get to keep them?" Especially those good-natured freight truck drivers who bring this stuff to my shop. Many of them are woodworkers. They really want to know.
Here's the honest answer: usually, no, I don't get to keep the tools.
Most sample tools, especially the really big, expensive, incredibly cool ones, have a predetermined round-trip ticket in and out my shop door. And, it should be that way. But believe me, over the past eight years of reviewing tools for Woodworker's Journal, I could cry a river over what I've had to take apart, re-crate, re-skid and put back on a freight truck. Then watch it drive away…
