The remaining 1.4 million of these children live in a single-parent house with a parent who has experienced an alcohol use disorder in the past year. Of these children 1.1 million lived in a single mother household and 0.3 million lived in a single father household. This study is done in conjunction with Children of Alcoholics Week, February 12-18, 2012.
"The enormity of this public health problem goes well beyond these tragic numbers as studies have shown that the children of parents with untreated alcohol disorders are at far greater risk for developing alcohol and other problems later in their lives," said SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde. "SAMHSA and others are promoting programs that can help those with alcohol disorders find recovery – not only for themselves, but for the sake of their children. SAMHSA is also playing a key role in national efforts to prevent underage drinking and other forms of alcohol abuse."
SAMHSA offers an on-line treatment locator service that can be accessed at
or by calling 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
There are many resources available to help children with a parent who has an alcohol problem. The National Association for Children of Alcoholics (
) provides information and resources for professionals who may be in a position to help these children and their families. More resources are available at:
The report entitled, Data Spotlight: Over 7 Million Children Live with a Parent with Alcohol Problems, is based on data analyzed from SAMHSA's 2005-2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). NSDUH is a scientifically conducted annual survey of approximately 67,500 people throughout the country, aged 12 and older. Because of its statistical power, it is the nation's premier source of statistical information on the scope and nature of many substance abuse and behavioral health issues affecting the nation. The report is available at:

Lyme Disease
You've probably heard of Lyme disease. It's often associated with heavily wooded or grassy areas where mice and deer live. Lyme disease is most common in the northeastern United States and the Pacific Northwest, as well as the northern midwestern states.
What Is Lyme Disease?
Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. This bacterium is usually found in animals like mice and deer. Ixodes ticks (also called black-legged or deer ticks) that feed on these animals can become infected by the bacterium and then pass it to people when they bite them.
Sound gross? Maybe. But you can be sure that you won't witness this process: It's very hard to see the ticks themselves. Immature ticks, or nymphs, are about the size of a poppy seed. Adult ticks are about the size of a sesame seed.
Because the ticks are hard to find, it helps to be aware of the symptoms of Lyme disease. It's easy to overlook a tick bite. Many people who get Lyme disease don't remember being bitten. The good news is that most tick bites don't result in Lyme disease.
What Are the Signs & Symptoms?
Lyme disease can affect different body systems, such as the nervous system, joints, skin, and heart. The symptoms of Lyme disease are often described as happening in three stages. Not everyone experiences all of these stages, though:
- A circular rash at the site of the tick bite, typically within 1-2 weeks of infection, often is the first sign of infection. Although it's considered typical of Lyme disease, many people never develop one.
The rash sometimes has a characteristic "bull's-eye" appearance, with a central red spot surrounded by clear skin that is ringed by an expanding red rash. It also can appear as an expanding ring of solid redness. It's usually flat and painless, but sometimes can be warm to the touch, itchy, scaly, burning, or prickling. The rash may appear and feel very different from one person to the next, and it might be more difficult to see on people with darker skin tones, where it can look like a bruise. It expands over the course of days to weeks, and eventually disappears on its own. Along with the rash, a person may have flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, headache, and muscle aches.
- Left untreated, symptoms of the initial illness may go away on their own. But in some people, the infection can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms of this stage of Lyme disease usually appear within several weeks after the tick bite, even in someone who has not developed the initial rash. The person may feel very tired and unwell, or may have more areas of rash that aren't at the site of the bite.
Lyme disease can affect the heart. This can lead to an irregular heart rhythm, which can result in dizziness or heart palpitations. It can also spread to the nervous system, causing facial paralysis (Bell's palsy), or meningitis.
- The last stage of Lyme disease can occur if the early stages of the disease were not detected or appropriately treated. Symptoms of late Lyme disease can appear any time from weeks to years (average of 6 months) after an infectious tick bite, and in children and teens is almost always in the form of arthritis, with swelling and tenderness particularly in the knees or other large joints.
Having such a wide range of symptoms can make Lyme disease difficult for doctors to diagnose. Fortunately, there's a blood test that looks for evidence of the body's reaction to Lyme disease.
When Should I Call My Doctor?
If you think you may be at risk for Lyme disease or a tick has bitten you, contact your doctor. Although conditions other than Lyme disease can cause similar symptoms, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your doctor. That way you can get further evaluation and treatment if necessary, before the disease progresses. This is especially true if you develop a red-ringed rash, prolonged flu-like symptoms, joint pain or a swollen joint, or facial paralysis.
Can I Prevent Lyme Disease?
There's no surefire way to avoid getting Lyme disease. But you can minimize your risk. Be aware of ticks when you are in high-risk areas. If you work outdoors or spend time gardening, fishing, hunting, or camping, take precautions:
- Wear enclosed shoes or boots, long-sleeved shirts, and long pants. Tuck your pant legs into your shoes or boots to prevent ticks from crawling up your legs.
- Use an insect repellant containing 10% to 30% DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide).
- Wear light-colored clothing to help you see ticks more easily.
- Keep long hair pulled back or wear a cap for protection.
- Don't sit on the ground outside.
- Check yourself for ticks regularly — both indoors and outdoors. Wash your clothes and hair after leaving tick-infested areas.
If you use an insect repellent containing DEET, always follow the recommendations on the product's label and don't overapply it. Place DEET on shirt collars and sleeves and pant cuffs, and only use it directly on exposed areas of skin. Be sure to wash it off when you go back indoors.
No vaccine for Lyme disease is currently on the market in the United States.
How Is Lyme Disease Treated?
Lyme disease is usually treated with a 2- to 4-week course of antibiotics. Cases of Lyme disease that are diagnosed quickly and treated with antibiotics almost always have a good outcome. A person should be feeling back to normal within several weeks after beginning treatment.
Is It Contagious?
Lyme disease is not contagious, so you can't catch it from another person. But you can get it more than once from ticks that live on deer, in the woods, or travel on your pets. So continue to practice caution even if you've already had Lyme disease.
What Can I Do to Feel Better?
You should know how to remove a tick just in case one lands on you or a friend. First, don't panic. Your risk of developing Lyme disease after being bitten by a tick is only about 1% to 3%. On top of that, it takes at least 24 to 48 hours for the tick to transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. (To be safe, though, you'll want to remove the tick as soon as possible.) This is why a daily tick check is a good idea for people who live in high-risk areas.
If you find a tick:
- Call your doctor. He or she may want you to save the tick after removal so that the tick can later be identified as the type that may carry Lyme disease. You can put the tick in a closed container or a jar of alcohol to preserve it.
- Use tweezers to grasp the tick firmly at its head or mouth, next to your skin.
- Pull firmly and steadily on the tick until it lets go of the skin. If part of the tick stays in your skin, don't worry. It will eventually come out — although you should call your doctor if you notice any irritation in the area or symptoms of Lyme disease.
- Swab the bite site with alcohol.
One note of caution: Don't use "folk remedies" like petroleum jelly or a lit match to kill and remove a tick.
Tick bites don't generally hurt — that's part of the difficulty in knowing whether someone has Lyme disease because pain usually helps to call attention to problems. So be on the lookout for ticks and rashes, and call your doctor if you're at all concerned.

DIY Installation: Adding Radiant Barrier Insulation
Last week I posted that my husband and I were embarking on a huge weekend insulation DIY for the Fourth. Thanks to all the great comments and advice we got from everyone in the Apartment Therapy community, we were able to narrow down our insulation options and gain a general idea of their installation parameters.
My father-in-law came down to get in on the fun (since I'm almost eight months pregnant I really could only provide moral support), and after about 14 hours of working in the blazing hot attic, the radiant barrier was a success!
This was the product we used from Home Depot. The majority of the panels installed without much struggle by simply flexing into place. While the instructions for install say that you can do so without tools, we used a staple gun to secure some of the panels to fit nicely in between the rafters that may have wiring or other obstructions.
Money saving tip: order 'contractor packs' of 50 online to save roughly 20%, or use your best negotiating skills to see if they will match it in-store. Money saving tip #2: the IRS offers a 10% Energy Tax Credit for efficient home renovations up to $500, so save your receipts!
In 100-plus temps, our house struggled mightily to get below 78 and would hover around 76 at night. On day two following the installation, our AC was no longer running non-stop and was three-degrees cooler throughout the day though which means more comfort and energy savings. Next week, they plan to rent a machine and blow in additional non-toxic, recycled GreenFiber insulation as well as additional turbines for ventilation.
It will take a summer or two to recoup the investment, but my initial impressions of this install is that it was a huge success. I was happy to not have to use foam or fiberglass materials that are messy and full of chemicals or deal with an outside contractor. This was not a project for the faint-of-heart DIY'er and if my husband could do it again? He would've waited until December.

Thanks, this is very helpful. I need to do this in my attic.
If you haven't yet, make sure to fill every crack and gap in the attic with caulk or spray foam before you put more insulation in. It will really help with air leaks from inside the house. (around electrical wires, ceiling light boxes, wall top plates, etc)
If you have can light housings in the attic, make sure they are rated for direct contact with insulation; otherwise, you'll need to swap those housings out. The alternative is to simply NOT insulate around your cans, but that's ridiculous given that there are IC-rated options.
Not meant as a hijack, but I've been following your post and admire what you've done, especially as a DIY project. Would love to do something similar as well, but we have a very shallow roof pitch on our house, and frankly, only the area along the spine of the roofline is accessible. One contractor thought is best to wait until we have to re-roof and do it then...Any thoughts on how we might insulate?
@ kingseal Rather than applying between the rafters, you can alternatively apply the radiant barrier to the floor of the attic. They also make rolls or 'batts' of fiberglass insulation you can lay down as well. Additional ventilation is probably worth a look too.
We were very lucky here in Australia. The government gave out grants to everyone in older homes to get ceiling installation. This meant it was virtually free to get this done. It made a huge difference in keeping my house cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Unfortunately, the service did come at a price. A man died from installing the installation due to a lack of safety requriements. The grant meant there was a boom in companies laying the installation.
We're looking into this thanks to your post! We have a ceiling in a woodland cabin that needs insulation. You can see the before picture here:
Thanks for this post! Hope this works for us as well :)
Thanks, BisthenewB...we were thinking of the rolls; it'd be hard to get it out to the edges, but we might do it anyway, as something is better than nothing.

Umami Gravy
Okay, gang: Thanksgiving's just one week away, so here's Part 5 of my Nomtastic Thanksgiving series! Just tuning in? I've already got you covered for turkey, Brussels sprouts, cran-cherry sauce, and mash—and today, I present to you: a flavor-packed, make-ahead Umami Gravy!
Yep, this is a rich, thick gravy that you can pour on EVERYTHING. I love my Easy Paleo Herb Gravy and my Slow Cooker Roast Chicken & Gravy, but this recipe's the one you break out for company.
Traditionalists may scoff because there are no turkey pan drippings in this gravy, but by using bone broth or rich chicken stock, you can minimize your game-time kitchen chaos by making this gravy a couple of days before Thanksgiving. You simply reheat it just before you go into Feast Mode. (I don't know about you, but this lady hates frantically cooking against the clock.)
Plus, this gravy is packed with carefully selected ingredients that boost umami: savory bone broth, tomato paste, dried and fresh mushrooms, and fish sauce. Once all these flavorful ingredients have simmered, simply purée everything together and voila! Thick gravy!
Umami Gravy keeps in the fridge for several days, and is a great item to keep in the freezer for everyday meals. Just cook up your favorite quick-cooking protein and simmer it in this fantastic gravy.
Ready for the recipe?
this one's for evonne@10 months ago with 47 notes

The lemon is the fruit of the lemon tree. Lemon trees are thorny and can grow to 10 metres high. Lemons are yellow and very sour because they contain a lot of citric acid. When you make lemonade from lemon juice you need to add a lot of sugar or it will not taste good. You can make marmalade from lemons.
Lemonade is a drink made from lemon juice, water and sugar. Lemonade made commercially at a bottling plant is often carbonated, which means it is full of fizzy little bubbles.
Home-made lemonade tastes nicest if you dissolve the sugar in water by making it into a syrup first. Make sugar syrup by heating 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan until all the sugar is dissolved. Add this to the juice of about 5 lemons (1 cup of juice) and then add 3 or 4 cups of cold water. Put the mix in the fridge until it is cold, and then serve with ice and lemon slices.
Lentils are a pulse, which means they grow seeds in pods like beans and peas but they are harvested when the seeds are dry. Beans and peas that are not picked fresh but are left to dry out first are also called pulses.
Lentils are eaten all over the world, and are good food for people who do not eat meat. They can be made into soup, stews and curries. They cannot be eaten raw, and need to be cooked before you can eat them. If you soak lentils overnight before you cook them, they are easier to digest.
Limes are a citrus fruit like oranges and lemons. They are most similar to lemons but are smaller, sourer and greener. Like lemons, limes are not good to eat on their own and are used to flavor drinks and foods. A lot of Asian cooking uses limes as flavoring.

Osaka (Sky building) – Oneday Japanese trip (Part 3)
<From Part2>
After leaving tsu-tenkaku, we heads to downtown area to have a coffee and shopping. I enjoyed and also get tired, but I really wanted to see Osaka's view before leaving.
So, I asked her to take me higher place. She choose "Sky building".
We got a lift until 38 levels and took a escalate.
Look like a stairs to heaven, isnt it?
Then, a view waiting for us at roof was beyond our imagination.
Fortunately, we got there just before sunset.
Here are photos^^
Beautiful sunset!!
Only seeing this view was worth coming Osaka.
I said bye to my friend at the station, got a Shinkansen to come back my home town Tokyo (only took 2.5 hours)
I think I need to travel and see more Japan ^^

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Folks in central and southern Wisconsin are seeing their first real snow of the season Monday -- while up north, it's old hat.
Gile in Iron County already had two inches on the ground before another two-and-a-half came down by 9:45 a.m. Upson in Iron County picked up 2 inches. That's part of the Lake Superior Snow Belt, which has had light snow on and off for a couple weeks.
Central and southern areas may have had some flurries -- but many places have not seen their grass covered with snow until Monday morning.
It's hardly enough to bring out the snowblowers just yet -- most parts of the state expect no more than an inch. A couple inches were predicted for northern areas.
Mother Nature will keep blowing much of it away. Wind gusts were as high as 29 miles an hour at Sturgeon Bay at 10 a.m.
The National Weather Service warned boaters of strong shifting winds on Lake Michigan from Sheboygan to a few miles past the Wisconsin-Illinois line.
Most parts of the state can expect highs in the 20's Monday and Tuesday. A slight warming trend is due in Wednesday, with highs possibly reaching the upper 30's.

I promised a blog this morning about the offense working to improve its tempo. But after the team scrimmaged this morning, I figured I would blog about that first and then blog about tempo later today.
If you weren't following on twitter earlier today (what were you doing instead, working? Watching the Olympics? Come on, man!), the offense dominated the first session, which was devoted to red-zone situations. The defense dominated the second session, devoted to full-field situations.
Coach Bill Curry couldn't have been happier afterward. During Tuesday's practice, Curry called the team over and began reminding them of the 2010 Iron Bowl. In that game (sorry Alabama fans), the Tide were blowing out Auburn. In the first half, running back Mark Ingram broke into the secondary and seemed destined to score another touchdown that would put the Tide ahead 28-0. Defensive end Antoine Carter chased down Ingram and forced a fumble that the Tigers recovered. Auburn would go on to win 28-27.
During the first session of Wednesday's practice, the offense could do little wrong. First-string quarterback Ben McLane, backup Kelton Hill and third-stringer Ronnie Bell all led scoring drives.
On the first possession of the second session, McLane misread a zone blitz. Defensive end C.J. Stephens dropped back into coverage and picked off the pass. It was McLane's first interception and second incompletion. He went (unofficially) 6-for-7 in the first session, with the only incompletion a drop by tight end Emmanuel Ogbuehi in the end zone.
On McLane's next possession, inside linebacker Mark Hogan jumped a slant route, made the interception and returned it for a touchdown.
And then came the play of the scrimmage.
On third and short, Ogbuehi caught a short pass, broke a tackle and sprinted up the sideline. Inside linebacker Allen McKay chased down Ogbuehi, caused a fumble and the defense recovered it and returned it to the 5-yard line.
"I couldn't have orchestrated it better for both sides: this is how it works and this is how life works," Curry said. "It seems like nothing can stop us and you go in for the half and come out for the half and it's like you changed uniforms. Frankly, I was very excited to see it this way, to see the defense get stronger.
"We will do a lot of teaching from this."
Asked if the defense might have been nervous in the red-zone situations, knowing how close they were to the end zone, he said, "No. The offense executed really well and we would have scored on a lot of people."
As odd as it might sound, other than the interceptions all three quarterbacks looked sharp. McLane's passes were all mostly catchable. He seems to have a good connection with Danny Williams. Hill looked good running the option. He started off very accurately, including a nicely weighted touchdown pass on a crossing route, but then had a couple of overthrows. He also made some good deep passes, which is something he's good at. Bell didn't look sharp running the option, but he throws a catchable ball. Unofficially, McLane went 9-of-12 for 113 yards; Hill went 8-of-12 for 107 yards and Bell went 4-of-8 for 26 yards.
Whether it was the offensive line still trying to come together or the defense playing better, the running backs had a tough time in the second session. Donald Russell didn't play much in the second session. Neither did wide receiver Albert Wilson. They didn't seem to be injured.
Fourth-string quarterback Mark Weidenaar looked sharp and very calm for a freshman. Curry said he has a good presence on the field.
The special teams were mostly good. Matt Ehasz hit back to back 35-yard field goals. Christian Benvenuto missed a short field goal. The defense tipped a field goal, which sailed wide.
There didn't seem to be any blown coverages in the secondary and the defensive line produced at least one sack. Melvin King had a good day, making several plays. Linemen Nermin Delic (knee) and Joe Lockley (shoulder) didn't play because of injuries. Both looked better than in the previous two days.
Who was Curry's special guest at Tuesday's practice?

Doug, Do you think that Wilson and Russell sat out so the coaches could get a read on the other players (b/c they already know how well they will both perform) or b/c they don't wanna risk them getting hurt?
Thanks for the coverage and good to hear that Curry is seeing something that he likes, I hope there are more positives to come from preseason training.

Not that I'm a fan of UGA, but for GSU to be put in the same sentence with them must mean we are doing something right.
As for the scrimmage, was Curry happy about the individual performances (I ask because it seems he is never satisfied), or just about the way both sides had a period of success?

This will very likely be the biggest day of free agent procurement in Oilers history. MacT has all day and an owner who is ready to take it to the limit.
Oilers have 16 men signed, $21M in walking around money and once they sign Gagner and Paajarvi those numbers probably go to 18 and $14M. That means the Edmonton Oilers have $14 million dollars (pinky finger at mouth) to spend on 5 guys.
- Taylor Hall 6M
- Jordan Eberle 6M
- Ales Hemsky 5M
- Sam Gagner 5M (est)
- Nail Yakupov 3.775M
- Ryan Smyth 2.25M
- Magnus Paajarvi 1.7M (est)
- Anton Lander 900k
- Mike Brown 737k
Oilers need a lot, including a 2line winger and a complete set of centermen, depending on the plan for Gagner. Nuge will be back at some point early in the season, but that's a position badly in need of repair. Names we know are in play include David Clarkson and Clarke MacArthur among wingers, and really crickets for now about centermen. I'll have some thoughts on that below.
- Justin Schultz 3.775M
- Ladislav Smid 3.5M
- Nick Schultz 3.5M
- Jeff Petry 1.75M
- Anton Belov 1.525M
- Philip Larsen 1.025M
- Corey Potter 775k
A full deck, and with Oscar Klefbom still pushing you could argue the Oilers are done (they have added two pieces to the puzzle). However, the names of potential blue coming in are abundant, suggesting someone may be heading out too. Braydon Coburn, Andrew Ference, Mike Komisarek and Paul Ranger have all been mentioned as possibles.
- Devan Dubnyk 3.5M
There are still players to offload (Hemsky, a defender) and of course plenty to add. I think the Oilers will be active in both free agent signings and in trades over the weekend and into next week. Let's take one final look at the list.
- Top 4 defender
- Sign Sam Gagner to a multi-year deal that has begins with a number in the 4′s
- Get Paajarvi signed and then find a role that suits him (suspect it's 3line).
- NHL goalie
- Find a 2line L who can complement Gagner-Yakupov with puck retrieval, blocking out the sun, etc
- Find a 3line R
- Find a 3line C
- Find a 4line C
- Deal Hemsky for immediate help (even if its a checker).
Deal Horcoff or slot him into the 3line job for which he is actually ideal.Continued to improve D depth. Decide on Lander/Belanger or other for 13F. Lander it is! Better blue depth(MacT has done this with Belov and Larsen, plus Klefbom/Fedun/Marincin)
- AHL #1/NHL #3 goalie
- Sign Paul Ranger
The things I have read/am hearing look like this:
- Strong possibility David Clarkson is an Oiler later today
- Strong possibility Andrew Ference is an Oiler later today
- Strong possibility Ales Hemsky ends up in Ottawa or Detroit, possibly this weekend
- Ilya Bryzgalov may sign with the Oilers.
- Mike Komisarek is a person of interest for the Oilers.
- The Oilers and Flyers may still have a deal to make.
- Clark MacArthur and Viktor Stalberg are players of note.
- I don't have a single item to pass along about a specific center.
- I believe they might put in a waiver claim on Grabovski. Cost is so dear, but he's a perfect fit.
My list of 15 for the Oilers is here and does include the names Clarkson, Bryzgalov, MacArthur and Stalberg. I do like the idea of grabbing Grabovski although the cap hit is insane. Why? Center goes from a weakness to a possible strength in a heartbeat–play this guy with skill and he'll cover the bet. Interesting day, please remember the world won't end when you find out they have overpaid Clarkson. I'm not going to be moderating the blog today so best behaviour please, and you're all on the honor system (and that includes you, DSF–you're wide open to start the day).
I'll be starting my day at around 8:45 with Will Fraser on the morning show and then the LD/LT will hit at 10 on Team 1260. This is going to be a very fluid day so we'll be adding/subtracting as things roll along. Scheduled to appear:
- Steve Lansky from Big Mouth Sports. We'll talk about this crazy week and the day ahead.
- Scott Taylor from the Huddle dot co. Blue Bombers, CFL, Jets and free agency.
- Jason Gregor from the Jason Gregor Show. We'll talk free agency, prospects, draft.
- Rob Soria from Oil Drop. Big day for the Oilers, Rob will help guide us through.
- Jungle Jim Hunter. We'll talk about reasons why so many free agent contracts fail.
10-1260 for comments and questions, @Lowetide on twitter. Here we go!!!!!

Water quality in the Wisconsin River was discussed during an all-day event at UW-Stevens Point Thursday.
UWSP Water Resource Scientist Nancy Turyk says the 3rd Wisconsin River Water Quality Improvement Symposium brought people from many backgrounds together to discuss improving the river system. "Everyone's talking about different ways that we can clean up the river without putting too much onus on one party or another."
Turyk says the water quality of the Wisconsin River system is better than it was years ago, but there's still room for improvement. "There has been good progress. We used to see 6 foot high foam floating down the river, and most people haven't reported that recently. However, there are a number of water bodies along the river as well as tributaries that have significant problems that pose health issues as well as reduce the ability to recreate, reduce tourism."
One of the big concerns is phosphorus levels in the river. That's because small amounts of the fertilizer can feed enough blue green algae to seriously harm humans, pets, wildlife, and livestock.
Various stewardship groups, government agencies, industry representatives, and area citizens took part in the symposium.
More information about the symposium and efforts to clean up the Wisconsin River is available through the UWSP Center for Watershed Science and Education website.

This morning I awoke to the devastating news that you had passed away dear friend. My heart is broken and I can't believe you are gone. Kuwait will never be the same without your big smile and loving, brotherly kisses on my cheek. I know that you are looking down from heaven but those of us still here will miss you more than words can say.
Every time I hear this song on my iPod I will think of you and how much you loved this song.
Till we meet again beloved friend.

Alright, before the postseason starts this afternoon I need to weigh in on what I think is going to happen. Here goes.
National League:
Rockies over Phillies (four games)
D'Backs over Cubs (four games)
Rockies over D'Backs (six games)
American League:
Red Sox over Angels (three games)
Indians over Yankees (five games)
Red Sox over Indians (six games)
World Series:
Red Sox over Rockies (five games)
Yes, I am predicting another championship for Boston. I really hate to do it, especially since they've got a shot with the Patriots to win the Super Bowl and a good chance of making it to the NBA Finals with the Celtics. Why the Rockies? Well, the past few years we've seen the World Series consist of one good team that most people thought had a chance to make it and one hot team that most people gave no shot to make it. I'm going to follow that formula again this year. It was really difficult for me to pick the winner of the Rockies/Phillies series. I think that series could go either way since they're both pretty hot right now.
Well, what do you think? Let me hear your predictions.

Bob Utterback has more than 26 years of experience and offers producers a disciplined approach to marketing.
The weak bulls are heading for the exit as the market digests the recent news from the feed grain council meeting. The big news came from the chief economist for USDA who suggested corn acres are going to grow above 92 million and soybean acreage increase to 78 million. Both numbers are at the top end of trade estimates. Add to this the expectation that China is going to start cancelling some bean orders from U.S. and purchase from Brazil has everybody thinking a short-term top.

Woodworker's Journal
A novice asked the seasoned woodworkers out there to share any words of wisdom they might have picked up over the years. Here's a sampler of the response:
Starting off with a caveat emptor about taking advice off the Internet, a woodworker counseled patience, buying the best tools you can afford, reading, and joining a local woodworking club. Others' suggestions followed similar lines: Take some classes from qualified instructors. Videos could also be helpful. Start with simple projects, figure it out as you go along, and do the best you can. Build the project in your head before you start. Don't take on projects that are too difficult and frustrating. Likewise, cheap tools frustrate and hinder learning. Don't get discouraged if you make a few "firewood" projects. Skill and expertise come as you learn from doing. It's important to just start making sawdust! Check out the links on the forums. Don't be shy, ask questions.
Forum host, Ellis Walentine, invoked a disclaimer/warning that used to appear in a magazine that emphasized safety, vigilance, and common sense. He also reiterated, that no matter how well-intentioned, advice from the forums came without guarantees. On a more positive note, he also suggested joining clubs and taking classes ... before investing in equipment. Being curious about materials, tools, adhesives, and machines will prepare you for good decisions ... but be prepared, he cautioned, to learn from mistakes. And it all pays off, he suggested, when that first project is completed.
Building on the importance of sty and staying alert, another forum member described the benefits of looking his old Unisaw right in the blade upon entering the shop and reciting: "Not today, you S.O.B!" Another woodworker, basing it on her own learning curve, suggested making something you really want, something that will keep you interested.

Intriguing Image From IRON MAN 2 Appears Online
I have no idea where ComicBookMovie.com got this image from, but they have revealed a very interesting never-before seen image from the just completed Iron Man 2 – and I'll be perfectly honest when I say that it could well be one of the BIG reveals of the movie.
If you want to know what could be in store for one of the characters……keep on reading.
You see, the image that they have revealed, which seems to be from a magazine spread of some kind, shows Pepper Potts, as played by Gwyneth Paltrow, with a rather interesting item on her arm. Check it out below:
I really wish I could see what that text in the corner says….
So why is this so interesting? What, you mean apart from showing Pepper Potts apparently being fitted with a suit of armour?
Y'see, in the comics Pepper Potts was fitted with a magnet in her chest after a major physical trauma, along the lines of the Arc Reactor Tony Stark has in the first movie, and has beome a hero called "Rescue" and is dressed in a form of armour very reminiscent of Iron Man himself (see pic below).
So, does this mean that we are going to get not only Iron Man, Whiplash and War Machine in Iron Man 2 but we are also going to see the debut of Rescue? It makes sense, especially when you take Gwyneth Paltrow's comments that she was involved in a big action scene into consideration.
Who knows. All I do know is that I am looking forward to seeing what comes out of Comic-Con this week regarding Iron Man 2!

The DallasCowboys.com staff of Bryan Broaddus, Rowan Kavner and Nick Eatman give their initial thoughts on the tough overtime loss to the Saints.
Rowan: The Cowboys knew going into this one they'd have to score a ton of points to keep up with the Saints offense. The 31-point mark wasn't quite enough. Eventually playing a majority of backups was going to come back to hurt this team in some fashion. Playing with backup and injured linebackers really hurt the Cowboys' defense, which couldn't generate any pressure on Drew Brees. I thought getting behind multiple scores would have spelled disaster for the Cowboys, but they came back yet again to force overtime. The offense had a shot to drive down the field to win it and couldn't get it done, forcing them to watch the scoreboard and hope for help to make the playoffs.
Bryan: My gut feeling was that
Nick: What an exciting game to watch if you don't have a rooting interest. If you did, it's gut wrenching. Except for the fact this game might not even matter at all, depending on what the Giants do in Baltimore. Still, the Cowboys could've done their own dirty work Sunday by beating the Saints. But after watching four-plus quarters of football, it didn't seem like the Cowboys were the better team. They didn't play better for sure. I know the defense had its struggles but that was to be expected. To me, the offense didn't do enough in the second half, and
Gut Feelings, posted Saturday, Dec. 22:
Rowan: If the Saints were in your weekly pick 'em contest, you'd want to avoid them at all costs. Predicting which Saints team shows up every week is nearly impossible. Two weeks ago, the Saints allowed 52 points to a Giants team that was held scoreless a week later. Then the Saints played Tampa Bay and held the Bucs scoreless. The Cowboys secondary may not be able to hang with all the weapons, but I don't trust this inconsistent Saints squad to win two in a row. The Cowboys should be able to keep the season alive by coming up with one or two stops by pressuring Drew Brees, putting themselves closer to a division title.
Bryan: I will be interested to see how Rob Ryan plays these Saints skill players. He has the numbers to matchup with the Saints personnel but can he get the level of play that he will need to make some stops in this game? My gut feeling is that Sterling Moore will be a big facture in this game. I have talked about him a bunch this week because I feel like he can make a difference in the game with his ability to react and cover. I believe that Ryan will use Moore potentially a couple of different ways because he doesn't have linebackers that can cover in this game. This game is going to come down to which defense can get extra stops and with that being said, my gut tells me that the Cowboys will be able to make more.
Nick: I actually haven't been that good here with the gut. I don't feel bad for not understanding this team that well. It's been an up-and-down year for a while but the Cowboys have just started to show that long-awaited consistency. As powerful as the Saints' offense can be, you have to remember they're 6-8 for a reason. Yes, they can score. But they've had to. Their defense has been atrocious at best, even despite a surprising shutout last week against Tampa Bay. I see the Cowboys scoring a lot of points in a wild shootout game. Somehow, I think they find a way to stop Drew Brees just enough to get the win.

Was in a giffy mood. Might make more if energy becomes a thing.
Speculation on what UU might look like that I took TOO FAR.
Pretty much just Calmasis' design with UU's horns, because that'd be rad (if unlikely). Also I realise I put the cufflinks on the wrong side :B wanted them to be visible.
I was getting all hopeful over the idea of UU being androgynous, but if there's a 14th troll then that wouldn't have the ~symmetry~ thing going. If the 14th troll exists, my bet's on them having that purple-blooded whale lusus (what with Cetus being the whale and the sign being around that area of the sky)

Warmer weather often means an increase in door-to-door salesmen.
The Amarillo Police Department is urging residents to use caution because criminals sometimes pose as salesmen to scam unsuspecting residents.
All door-to-door solicitors need to have proper registration and a government issued identification card.
If approached, police say it is best to ask and see the proper documents before doing any business. If the salesperson does not have a permit or ID, call the Amarillo Police at 378-3038.

6 Natural Cold-Prevention Strategies
Statistics say you'll catch two to four colds this winter. Here's help to stave them off.
How it helps: Sleep regulates the release of the hormone cortisol, which stimulates cells that boost the immune system, says William Ellert,
M.D., chief medical officer of the Phoenix Baptist Hospital. And a well-tuned immune system is crucial for defending against
the cold virus. Getting at least seven hours of shut-eye is the easiest way to steer clear of the common cold. In fact, a
recent study indicates that people who fall short are nearly three times as likely to catch a cold. To make bedtime even more
healthful, try using a protective pillow cover, which can help prevent a stuffy, runny nose.
Good to know: If you have trouble falling asleep, try a mind-calming exercise. For instance: "Go over everything you did during the day, but do it in reverse order," says C. Evers Whyte, director of the Center for Health Renewal, in Stamford, Connecticut.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I highly recommend this invitation. It was exactly what my fiance and I were looking for in terms of a simple, modern and chic invitation. My friends and family loved how unique it was too! If you're looking for an invitation that will stand out from the rest, this is the way to go!"
"I absolutely fell in love with this invitation. It's different, simple, yet modern and chic and goes absolutely well with my theme. The design process was quick and easy. The quality of the printing is amazing and the time line idea is a wonderful idea to reflect my story to my friends and family. I am extremely amazed by the level of efficient customer service I received during the proofing stage and the express quick delivery of the cards. My invitation was loved by all friends and family. Highly recommended"
"Love these invitations! I was able to customize it to suit my individual needs and preferences. It was nice to have a designer review the card before it got printed. I received so many compliments on these invitations with many saying how elegant they were."
"These cards are just perfect! We customized them so that the back didn't have the pattern but had a border and our wedding website, which was really helpful and a great use of the back of the invitation (our designer suggested this since I wasn't crazy about just having the pattern). They came out really beautiful! The designer couldn't have been better!"
"This was the one I really liked out of all the samples I chose and holding it and see it in person, it's just exactly what i wanted. It's classy, light, seasonal, pretty but not fussy and it includes the colors I will use in my overall wedding decor."

Journalism and Mass Communication
Bachelor of Arts
Customize your major with electives in Electronic Media, Journalism and Public Relations
At BJU you'll study the role and importance of Christian professionals in the media. You'll learn why biblically defined truthfulness and ethical behavior in news are pre-eminently important and, ultimately, pleasing to God. Then you'll explore how to relate appropriately to people as both sources and topics for your articles or news stories, and how being created in the image of God gives everyone inherent worth.
You'll first learn the basics of journalism and news, such as AP style, how to write an effective lead and how to handle sources ethically in your interviewing and observation. You'll be able to customize your experience by focusing your electives in electronic media, journalism and public relations, among other fields. You'll work in teams with your peers to produce commercials, news stories and news programs that will prepare you for the professional work environment.
There are lots of ways to get involved in media at BJU. You can apply for various positions in the University's radio or TV stations, the student-run newspaper or the University's annual. You may also qualify for internships at media outlets and local organizations performing public relations functions. These hands-on experiences will help you see the various facets of a media-related workplace.
You'll also improve your overall effectiveness through BJU's liberal arts program. You'll find that a healthy curiosity about everything—from history to art to literature—will give you a better grasp on how people think and how to connect with your audience. You'll take classes to help you think quickly and communicate effectively to small audiences in speech and in writing.
Students of BJU's journalism and mass communication major don't all end up on a local news channel or newspaper. Many study the production behind the camera: the video, sound production and editing portions of the newsroom. Additionally, some of our graduates go into other fields such as law, cinematography and photography.

Career Assistance
Career Services can help you prepare for job hunting and networking with employers.
Learning Experience
In the Classroom
Newsroom sessions and mock press conferences in the laboratory make classes engaging. You'll learn from experienced faculty members in these hands-on experiences and gain your own experience in communicating effectively through speech and writing.
You'll begin with the basics in AP style, what makes a good article or news piece, and how to connect with your audience through blogs or social media. You'll work with your classmates to complete various projects, such as producing your own news show. You'll utilize professional software to record and edit your work, to give you that valuable experience you need for the field.
Outside the Classroom
Bob Jones University's student newspaper, The Collegian, was founded in 1987 as a journalism lab, offering students hands-on experience in producing a weekly publication. Newspaper staff members write and edit articles, design the layout, and take photographs for the paper. Stories in The Collegian focus on campus personalities and student life, helping to unify the large and diverse student body. The paper is distributed free on campus and is also available online.
The Vintage, by definition, is BJU's yearbook. The staff, whose responsibility it is to produce this annual publication, is composed of students from varied academic divisions and classifications within the University. Uniquely photographed and beautifully bound, the annual mirrors not only classes and activities but also the mission of BJU.
WBJU-FM is BJU's student-staffed radio station that broadcasts seven days a week to provide the student body with a variety of sacred, classical and easy-listening music, as well as informative news and sports talk programming. The staff is also responsible for producing, scheduling, announcing and marketing the station's content.
WBJU-TV is the student-staffed television station that provides national, local and campus news plus sports highlights, weather and campus announcements throughout the day. JMC students can be anchors, reporters, producers and technical crew members on a variety of television programming. Students can watch WBJU-TV at various locations around campus.
Your JMC professors have a passion for their areas of expertise, and many have terminal degrees. They have extensive experience in freelancing and editing, so their lectures come alive with personal anecdotes and examples. Their desire is to equip their students to think biblically and to excel in their fields.

When we think of Berlin, the last things that come to mind are white-sand beaches and the sweet smell of jerk chicken. Then again, we usually have tunnel vision toward our beloved city's infamous nightclub scene…so, at least we have an excuse. But look closer and you'll see it there, smack dab in the middle of our axis of after-hours hotspots: Welcome to Yaam, our little slice of island utopia along the former Berlin Wall.
For us, Yaam is the perfect launching pad for a serious night of play. With a half pipe and a full court, this Jamaican paradise is a magnet for skaters and basketball players, both casual and serious. If you need a good shot in the head before hitting the town, fear not, you can even take boxing lessons here. Then again, if you're in a more leisurely mood, meander over to the volleyball pitch to watch the long-legged ladies lunging around to your heart's content. The only danger here is having a little sand sprayed in your beer.
If Berlin is the capital of the graffiti world (and we Berliners think it is), then Yaam is the capital of the Berlin graffiti scene. Workshops, forums and contests propel the art of graffiti from lame tag-in-the-night fare to the world-class graffiti talent that rules our colourful city.
And when it's time to lay down a solid base for the night ahead, feast on the okra, pig feet, oxtail and plantains. Wash it down with some ginger beer and heavy dose of reggae.
When the sun goes down, we're just a stone's throw from three of Berlin's hottest nightspots--Katerholzig (an outdoor venue across the river with multiple stages), Berghain (the most famous techno/electro club in Europe) and Salon Zur Wilden Renata (a weird and wild, and formerly illegal, underground club). All are familiar to the After Hours Athletes of Berlin, but our favourite is Renata. Now officially licensed--but still very un-commercial--it pulls in the best of the Berlin DJs every night, making it the perfect spot for those of us who tend to find ourselves unwilling or unable to call it quits and go to sleep after a day at the beach. Call it just another day in the (transplanted) tropics.

How to get free life insurance
Working-poor parents and guardians may be eligible for $50,000 policies to pay for their kids' educations. And yes, it really is free.
This is not a scam. I promise. The MassMutual insurance company really has committed to writing $1 billion worth of free term life insurance policies for the working poor.
The drawback: Since it's a term life policy, you have to die for your kids to collect.
But you know what? Life is uncertain. If you got hit by a bus on the way to your part-time job, could your spouse or partner manage to get the kids through college or trade school?
If your response is "Where do I sign up?," read on. (Post continues after video)
- A permanent, legal resident of the U.S. and between ages 19 and 42.
- The parent or legal guardian of a dependent child or children under age 18.
- Employed full or part time, with total family income of between $10,000 and $40,000.
- The only member of your household who has applied for LifeBridge.
- In good health (as determined by the company).
More than just tuitionThe $50,000 can be used for college, trade school, prep school and even preschool -- or to pay off a dependent's current student loans.
Qualifying expenses include tuition, on-campus housing, fees and textbooks. In at least one case, the policy paid for a computer when a student opted for online classes.
LifeBridge is available in all 50 states. In the event of your death, the insurance payout is administered by a trust and split evenly among all your children. They have up to 10 years (or until age 35) to use it.
To find an agent in your area, use this locator tool. Learn more about the program by downloading the FAQs and/or a LifeBridge application (both are .pdf documents) from MassMutual's Corporate Responsibility page.
Few people like to think about dying, especially if they have kids. A free life insurance policy could provide some peace of mind -- and it's free.
Incidentally, the program is income-based but you get to keep the policy even if your salary were to go up during that 10-year term. Life is uncertain, after all.
