The magazine the players read?
Trade magazines are solely for the professionally interested. Buses is probably a right riveting read if you are a bus driver. Direct Marketing News might buy a thrill if you are engaged in mailshots, SMS and outdoor advertising. If you are not involved then reading is best avoided, unless perhaps a cure for insomnia is being sought.
But everyone wants to read about football, right? A free publication sent to each member of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), Professional Player, is described in its introductory editorial as "the magazine which came from nowhere, picked up the ball, side-stepped from the opposition, and hit the back the net to the delight of footballers, past, present and future". Its Facebook page, liked by no fewer than 15 people, describes it as "The Exciting New Publication Created Exclusively For Footballers".
Magazines for footballers by footballers are not a new phenomenon. Most recently, Icon, a publication produced by Tim Sherwood and Jamie Redknapp, made an abortive step into this high-end market. It was a star-struck periodical of self-celebration and blue-chip advertising, and included picture spreads that might provide onanistic relief to the soccer star on a lonely away trip. It took its lead from the wide-eyed materialism that Redknapp often exhibits in his TV appearances, and gave off the rarefied whiff of moneyed exclusivity. There was even the dreadful prospect of Jamie being let loose on the interviews. In the spirit of football's habit of boom-and-bust and the continuing collapse of the paid-for periodical market, Icon eventually folded amid financial problems.
You can tell Professional Player is contemporary football media because the ubiquitous Robbie Savage has his own "hard-hitting" column. "The time has come to sit down and know where we all stand," splutters 'Sav' oxymoronically.
Aside from the arch-controversialist himself, Professional Player is far drier in its outlook, and much more responsible too. The word 'professional' is its key. Andy Cole is interviewed, but there will be no tales of japery from the 1999 Treble season. Instead, Cole offers a compelling view that football does not do enough for its ex-pros. David Moyes reveals he is a "boring bugger" while offering "keep persevering" as his best piece of advice. Former Leicester and West Brom defender Phil Gilchrist discusses a life beyond football. After losing his job as manager of Woking, Gilchrist now works as a director of sport at a Leicestershire college, having spent five years doing the exams most players skip to turn pro.
The PFA is an organisation with a very public face. Gordon Taylor, whose hushed Lancastrian tones are heard on TV and radio whenever issues of player behaviour arise, is widely reputed to be the best paid union official in the world. He is so famous that he was hacked by the News of the World. Taylor's public role is often that of fire-fighter when his members bring shame on the game.
Taylor and co take their responsibilities seriously with a po-faced gravitas often seen on TV discussion shows. Their in-flight magazine reflects that. Guidance is the name of the game but money is talking, as all such advice comes in advertorial form. Former Chesterfield stalwart Steve Blatherwick expounds on his football agency's retirement plan for players. Olympic sprinter Darren Campbell, the man once abortively tasked by Chelsea with getting Fernando Torres up to full speed, peddles the best dietary supplements for footballers.
And then there are the financial and legal services that the modern footballer might need. A tax accountant offers his services, with the warning that "a retired sports player will not want a heavy tax penalty that they can ill afford".
A niche sports law specialist suggests that "the Ryan Giggs super-injunction saga firmly established that celebrities can no longer pay their way out of trouble" before providing a number to call if you have been affected by any of the same issues.
But Professional Player is not just there for the nasty things in life. It also provides plenty of opportunity to spend the thousands a week the top pro might earn. A concierge service offers Champagne, racing, private planes and yachts as "bespoke solutions for exceptional clients". Liam Gallagher's fashion label gets a run-out for the Leighton Baines indie-footballer contingent's needs. There is even the opportunity to flog off "pre-loved high-end designer fashion" - second-hand clothes to the layman. Players are given the chance to own a slice of a vineyard and proffered personal finance programmes for the purchase of a "luxury vehicle, or even a classic motor".
Young men like their gadgets, and footballers are no exception. How about spending £90,000 on an F1 Racing Simulator? You'll need to hand over £42,000 for a transparent pool table that still gives the feel of the old green baize. A mere £65,000 will buy you a "personal boat and submarine" that is "designed to resemble a fearsome shark" and can reach up to 50mph. At the bottom end of the scale is an old-style arcade machine that houses its own personal beer keg - a bargain at just £2,500. Need some headphones to help you wordlessly stroll through a mixed zone? That's £850 to you, sir.
That a footballer and his money are easily parted is a fact of modern life. It has reached epidemic levels with repeated reminders that a spend, spend, spend culture can only end up in a bankruptcy court. Lee Hendrie, John Carew, Jason Euell and Eric Djemba-Djemba are recent high-profile examples of a thrifty culture of mismanagement.
Last month, the BBC revealed some frightening statistics about the potential plight of the former British footballer. One in three are divorced within a year of retiring. Three in five have been declared bankrupt within five years of their final contract. Chillingly, 129 former players are currently in prison.
Somewhere amid Professional Player's fragrant but rather dull pages there are messages provided to prevent such fates, yet other means to embrace them are provided too. Which bit, if any, are the players taking notice of?

Q&A With Dr. Richard Bernstein
Dawn phenomenon is the situation where the liver removes insulin from the blood in the morning hours, which causes morning blood sugars to go up, even if breakfast is skipped.
Non-diabetics make insulin in little squirts about a minute apart. They make it whenever they need it and they make less of it if their blood sugar drops. What would happen if the insulin that they'd been making remains in the bloodstream when they don't need it? Their blood sugars would drop eventually to zero, and they'd be dead. Humanity would no longer exist. Humanity is still here so something else is happening.
The liver clears insulin out of the bloodstream very rapidly. In fact, thanks to the liver, the half-life of insulin in the bloodstream is only about 6 minutes. The dawn phenomenon happens during the first few hours when you get up in the morning. It starts at about nine hours after you go to bed. The liver is working extra hard at clearing away insulin. This doesn't make any difference to non-diabetics. They're capable of tripling their insulin production, whereas a diabetic doesn't have this capacity and he's likely to experience an elevated blood sugar shortly after rising in the morning.
On top of that, if he exercises during those first three hours when the dawn phenomenon is acting, his blood sugar might go up instead of down when he exercises. For this reason, we give diabetics half as much carbohydrate at breakfast as at other meals. That's number one, so they won't have to take excessive amounts of insulin.
Also, many of these diabetics should be given a tiny amount of a rapid-acting insulin on arising just to prevent the dawn phenomenon. I have to take a half unit of Humalog insulin on arising, or I'll go up by about 40 or 50 in the next hour. Many of my type 2 patients who wouldn't otherwise be on insulin are getting insulin just to prevent that little increase in the morning.
Dr. Richard K. Bernstein is a long-time advocate for a low-carb approach to the management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diagnosed 60 years ago with type 1, Dr. Bernstein pioneered the concept of reducing insulin use and blood sugar levels by reducing carbohydrate, rather than protein and fat, intake, a now accepted approach that the diabetes establishment resisted for years. The Long Island-based physician, whose practice treats only patients with diabetes and prediabetes, has published four books on diet and blood sugar control. His Diabetes Solution website has extensive information on his personal history and diabetes management philosophy.

By Michael Shepherd firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
AUGUSTA — Angus King's campaign heavily edited a newspaper profile of the independent U.S. Senate candidate – removing passages critical of him – before posting it on the campaign's website Monday.

TO VIEW the original profile, as well as all the passages King's campaign removed, click here.
The King campaign denied that the deletions were selective, saying they were meant only to reduce the length of the article, which was published the day before in the Maine Sunday Telegram.
The campaign published links to the full story, which ran more than 4,000 words, and later removed the altered version at the newspaper's request.
"I think we took out some of the positive stuff and some of the negative stuff to try and reduce the length of the piece because it was a lengthy piece," said King spokeswoman Crystal Canney.
The eliminated passages weren't all critical of King. Some referred to his upbringing in Virginia in the civil rights era and his time as a young lawyer for the poor in western Maine.
But scrubbed from reporter Colin Woodard's story was a quote from former Portland Press Herald State House reporter Paul Carrier, who said King "could be thin-skinned and controlling behind the scenes."
A quote from Carrier saying King "made Mainers feel good about being Mainers" was left in the piece.
Carrier, in an email Monday, said "it seems to me that if the King campaign redacted my quote about him being thin-skinned and controlling, it suggests that he's thin-skinned and controlling."
A passage in the story from Gordon Weil, an energy consultant and former public advocate who criticized an energy business of King's, was removed. Weil said the company didn't benefit ratepayers as much as it benefited King, who has said he sold it for $8 million just before his successful run for governor in 1994.
A quote from Jonathan Reisman, a libertarian-minded economist at the University of Maine at Machias who worked in King's administration and ran for Congress as a Republican in 1998, also was removed. Reisman said King came into office in 1994 and had immediate success in trimming spending, but "left that behind" after the first half of his first term.
Praise of King from Sandy Maisel, a political science professor at Colby College and a Democrat who has donated to King's campaign, was left in the version of the article that the campaign posted online, but a passage in which Maisel said "I don't think his second term held up to his first" was removed.
Jim Melcher, a political science professor at the University of Maine at Farmington, said he saw patterns in the edits, likely to take out things that remind readers that King is from Virginia, not Maine, and to take out pieces of his environmental and business profile.
One passage the King campaign omitted included references to lobbying for the National Resources Council of Maine and the Maine Audubon Society. Another told of his work on the board of W.P. Stewart, then a Bermuda-based investment fund. Financial disclosure forms show he still has tens of thousands of dollars in a company mutual fund.
"He doesn't want to look like a fat cat working with high financiers who's out of touch," Melcher said, "but he doesn't want to look like someone who is hostile to business either.
"But on the other hand, is this any different from what a movie or book does with its reviews?" Melcher said. "You wouldn't expect them to include the negative parts, either."
Drew Brandewie, a spokesman for Republican Senate nominee Charlie Summers, said in a prepared statement that the King campaign was "manipulating" the story "to deceive voters."
"How can King continue to tell Mainers with a straight face he's a different type of politician who will change Washington?" Summers said.
Cynthia Dill, the Democratic nominee for the Senate seat, said she thought the King campaign intended to make selective edits.
"The piece as written by Colin Woodard was very interesting to read and very well-written," Dill said. "I don't know why the King campaign wouldn't want readers to have all of the information as presented by one of Maine's finest reporters."
The Press Herald/Telegram asked the King campaign to remove the altered article from its website Monday afternoon. The campaign did so within two hours.

Jul 27, 2011
With a deadline fast approaching and talk of serious economic consequences without congressional action, the standoff in Washington over raising the debt limit was the top story last week for both the public and the news media.
Yet public interest in the federal budget deficit and national debt is not much higher than it was the previous week, even with the Aug. 2 deadline on a possible default drawing closer.
Currently, 38% say they followed news about the debt limit debate very closely, little different from the 34% that said this one week earlier according to the latest Weekly News Interest Index survey, conducted July 21-24 among 999 adults by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. The survey was conducted before the prime-time speeches on July 25 by President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
7 Stories
Your Rating
A troubled man in a Magrittean suit and bowler hat climbs out on the seventh-floor ledge of an apartment building, intending to jump to his death, in this revival of the still-provocative 1989 Morris Panych comedy.
As he is about to jump, self-absorbed tenants of the seventh floor stick out their head to blabber, oblivious to his predicament. He encounters a woman in a battle royale with her husband that might end in murder, a hilarious paranoid psychiatrist and a guy who throws parties but can't stand those who attend them. Best of all is Marshall, an actor wearing a fake moustache who has lost his sense of identity and respect for his work.
"Imagine having a profession where you do nothing but pretend to be other people," he scoffs.
Mostly inadvertently, each person provides the would-be jumper with new perspectives on the meaning of life and how to live it.
The Theatre by the River cast of Joseph Aragon, James Furby, Jaclyn Kurceba, Derek Leenhouts and Mel Marginet perform well, especially in tapping into Panych's motherlode of black humour.
At 90 minutes, 7 Stories is a test for fringe-goers, as not all of the suicidal man's diversions hold attention.

was sentenced to a year in jail for healthcare fraud after pretending she had cancer, thetimesherald.com reported.Lexington, Mich. – Sara Ylen
Ylen will also have to pay $121,000 to Blue Cross Blue Shield in restitution. Ylen claimed to have multiple myeloma and received $100,000 in hospice care. She also collected $10,000 from a church fundraiser, the website reported.
Ylen, 38, said she developed cervical cancer after she was sexually assaulted in 2001, the Daily Mail reported. To facilitate her story, Ylen forged medical records and documents.
This is not the first time Ylen has been in the public eye.
James Grissom served 15 years in prison after he was convicted of raping Ylen, but the conviction later was thrown out, the Daily Mail reported. Police in California said that Ylen had made up rape allegations during a 2001 visit to the area, information that had not been available during Grissom's trial.

A woman gets jail time for fraud while a young rich white kid gets probation for killing 4 and injuring 9, but that's ok because he suffers from affluence. This country is f-ed.
Wonder Mike February 19, 2014 at 11:39 PM
15 years for not raping someone, one year for lying about being raped and defrauding a charity.

A Troubled Women for sure and now she will probably become a successful Politician when she gets out of Jail cause she seems to be excellent at Lying to People.
Tom B February 20, 2014 at 07:16 AM
Was this done as a bundle? Fraud, false accusations, theft by deception. Does she have to repay the money or benefits she received? Sounds like she may have made out better than the men she accused of rape.
Larry S. February 20, 2014 at 08:17 AM
She'll never pay back the $. How could she, being in prison? Stay there! A very troubled woman, a woman who just lives a Life of Lies; uses the public for personal gain; how disgusting!!
Winnie Winters February 20, 2014 at 11:23 AM
I see a big problem here. What did she do to the women of this country that really have cancer. She is the ROTTEN apple in the barrel!!!!!
Peggy Weggy February 21, 2014 at 08:13 AM
People like this rarely change. Too bad she can't have the word fraud tattooed across her face To warn others As I sense she'll do this again and again and again In another town where nobody knows her
christine2000369 February 21, 2014 at 09:29 AM
Saying a man raped her, and the man sentenced to 15 years for something he didn't do, and to lose 15 years of his life because of a sick liar! You know this is really bad for the women that really have bee raped. Accusing a man of raping you is not just a little joke, IT RUINES his life for ever! especially if he's NOT GUILTY. And for her pretending she has cancer ....shame on her. Someone said about her not being able to pay back all the moneys she got, because of her being in jail....I SAY...Put her to work on the highways and express ways CLEAN UP... Wor her everyday for 8 hrs. Our roads need someone to keep them clean for paper, blown out tires, cans, etc...MAKE HER WORK, Not just sit in jail and do nothing. Well that's my thought anyways. Make her pay for what she has done.
DON February 22, 2014 at 09:33 AM
The sentence should have been at least 15 years for the mans life she ruined! We don't need this scum back out in a year doing it again! Lets give the judge 15 years for not doing his job! Judge your FIRED! I'm so tired of jails are full or it cost tax payers to much money but yet our government gives money to other countries! Our judgical system is a total failure!
Lee Jacobsen February 23, 2014 at 10:53 PM
Now she will get 3 squares a day, TV, and free health care just in case she does actually get cancer. All on our nickel. Average cost to the taxpayer, around $37,000 per year. Perhaps she will get 'rehabilitated'. I hope they put her on a sex offender list so the guys can be warned......

Clean & Simple: 7 Modern Baths
8 Comments
Man, I love that first one. Except for that lamp shade. So distracting! What were they thinking???
Oh crimany. I've been feeling stressed the past couple days. I'm looking at those pics and just wanting to escape to every one of them. Now. Maybe with wine.
@Amy the Bicoastal Scientist- I'm right there with you on that lampshade! Very jarring.
These are all lovely, but I think I'd have a hard time bathing in #5- even if I were the only person for miles around, I'd feel so exposed. But, it's quite beautiful nonetheless.
Yep, love the first minus the lampshade...
#3 is just stunning.
#3 is so modern, warm and Moroccan all at the same time. Perfection!
Love the first one. That's pretty much my dream bathroom.

Courtesy: CMU Athletic Communications
Release: 05/25/2013
On Friday, senior Renaldo Powell fell just short of advancing to the quarterfinals of the 110m hurdles, missing the qualifying time by only .01. Powell ran a 14.05 to finish 25th overall despite not practicing since the MAC Championships due to injury. The 2012 indoor track and field MAC champion in the 60m hurdles has an indoor season of eligibility remaining.
Appearing at the NCAA regionals for the second time in her career, senior Maddie Ribant bested her previous NCAA time by more than 14 seconds, posting a time of 10:39.40 to finish 42nd. Ribant departs CMU as the school's record holder in the steeplechase (10:34.07).
Sophomore Ethan Lievense and Ben Wynsma placed 28th and 44th, respectively, in the 3000m steeplechase. Lievense recorded a time of 9:04.98 while Wynsma finished the race in 9:36.67.

5656 Taylor Mill Rd, Taylor Mill, KY | Directions 4101538.989824 -84.502732
Mon. - Fri. 10am - 6pm;Sat. 10am - 3pm;Sun. CLOSED
Not ethical if they make a mistake – We recently attempted to redeem a pawn, and after searching for nearly 20 minutes, they advised they didn;t have our items. After further review, it was discovered that our copy of the pawn tkt was amended and listed it for a term of 90 days and was signed by the owner. Their copy of the tkt only listed it as a 30 day pawn so they sold it after 60 days (30 days plus 30 day grace period). Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve the issue fairly, the owner rasied his voice and said that it was our fault for not answering the phone when they called. He said if we would have told them about the 90 day term when they called, they would not have sold our items. The real issue is that they modified our pawn tkt to reflect a 90 day term, but forgot to update their copy, so it was completely their mistake and were dishonest by trying to turn the responsibility back at us in a loud, aggressive manner. We did not take their bait by getting loud in return, and left without yelling or being confrontational. I smartly audio recorded the transaction once we discovered they lost our items, so I have evidence that we did return to attempt to pay in full before the end of the 90 day term. We pawned our items for much less than what they were willing to give us, for just a little extra Christmas money, so we lost more than a thousand dollars due to their error. An apology and an attempt to provide fair compensation would have been the proper path for an ethical business, but we were treated like crooks when we were the ones being robbed. I suggest to do your business at a store where you can feel confident your items are safe and will be returned as expected when you hold up your end of the deal.
Very honest great guy to deal with best prices we can find anywhere – Great guys. They have the best gold and silver prices that we can find. Very nice and helpful people.

About our Front-laced Gown
The 15th century was a time of great cultural and social change in Europe. In the north, the old institutions of the Middle Ages were waning, while south of the Alps the Renaissance was already being born in Italy. It was a century that saw the rise of humanism, the first of the great Renaissance artists, the birth of the printing press and the discovery of the New World. But it also saw bloody civil war throughout England and the Empire, the rise and fall of the Dukes of Burgundy, and the stirrings of religious discontent that would blossom into the viscious religious wars of the following century. Amidst this culture of change and innovation in art, arms and armour, a variety of new clothing styles emerged, largely driven by the luxurious courts of Burgundy and those of the wealthy Italian despots.
We have chosen to introduce our forthcoming 15th century line with this dress because of its versatility and uniqueness. Based on contemporary artwork, we have chosen several distinctive elements of early-to-mid 15th century clothing: a wide, somewhat squared neckline revealing the top of the underdress, front-lace closure, and short sleeves flaring into long streamers, an evolution of the tight sleeves and tippets popular with the 14th century cotehardie.
Although some of these individual elements first began appearing in the second half of the 14th century, they did not commonly appear, let alone in combination, until circa 1400. Together, they create an elegant and distinctive garment typical of the first half of the 15th century. This means that such a gown is still contemporary with the last fashionable years of our current 14th century cottes, while at the same time overlapping with the introduction of the gowns and doublets that typify the middle and late 1400s, allowing you many different ways to elegantly match your lord across much of the century, and making for a good introductory garment to 15th century fashion.
This gown's front closure uses the same placket design as our back-laced gowns, allowing it to be fully adjustable. The lacing, short sleeves and linen construction makes for a perfect dress on hot summer days. Made in 100% linen, the short-sleeved gown is available in the colors listed below in all of our standard sizes. Please note that in our historical references, below, the gown is always pictured as a short-sleeved gown, with the underdress omitted. This is simply so that he lines of the overdress are not obscured in the drawings. Please note that the gown is always shown worn with a long-sleeved underdress. In period, ladies did not brazenly display their arms!

Colors and Fabrics
Note: Due to the difficulty of representing colors accurately on a variety of monitors we've included color descriptions along with our swatches. Please use both when deciding on what color to order. Also, despite how the colors may appear on your monitor the same color names in Wool, Silk and Linen are different and do not exactly coordinate.
Linen colors: Black, Burgundy, Purple, Dark Green, Bright Blue, Sage, and Red
Size Chart
Note: In our women's clothes we've abandoned 'standard', modern sizing because it is far from standard, and tends to cause more confusion than provide accurate information. So, please judge your size by your chest and waist measurements. We do not give hip measurements because the gown flares dramatically at the hip and is so generously sized there that fit is not an issue at that point. A range of fit is given for each size because the lacings and placket starts at the top and extend to below the hip providing flexibility within each size as well as a near perfect fit to each individual within that size range. The gowns run long with a small train so that you can wear them in the authentic fashion of the period - trailing along the ground or hem it to your desired length. Size 6 is available as a custom order only. Current color options can vary so please contact customer service to find out our fabric availability. The custom order price for size 6 is $269.95.

I bought these for a 42 year old Lyle "Dove" copy acoustic that has a tuneomatic bridge. They fit perfectly in combination with your saddle screws and made this guitar much more lively. Easy to notch with your files too. Thanks Stewmac for saving the day at a great price!
Absolutely brilliant! They fit perfectly, very quality, good price.
Perfect fit in my vintage ABR1
I ordered these (along with the suggested m3 x .5 adjustment screws) to replace the very worn saddles on a vintage univox LP. They fit perfectly.

Cancer - breast; Carcinoma - ductal; Carcinoma - lobular; DCIS; LCIS; HER2-positive breast cancer; ER-positive breast cancer; Ductal carcinoma in situ; Lobular carcinoma in situ
Early breast cancer usually does not cause symptoms. This is why regular breast exams are important. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include:
Men can get breast cancer, too. Symptoms include breast lump and breast pain and tenderness.
Symptoms of advanced breast cancer may include:
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
New, improved treatments are helping persons with breast cancer live longer. Even with treatment, though, breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body. Sometimes, cancer returns even after the entire tumor has been removed and nearby lymph nodes are found to be cancer-free.
How well you do after being treated for breast cancer depends on many things. The more advanced your cancer, the poorer the outcome. Other factors used to determine the risk of recurrence and the likelihood of successful treatment include:
After considering all of the above, your doctor can discuss your risk of having a recurrence of breast cancer.
You may experience side effects or complications from cancer treatment. For example, radiation therapy may cause temporary swelling of the breast (lymphedema), and aches and pains around the area.
Lymphedema may start 6-8 weeks after surgery or after radiation treatment for cancer. It can also start slowly after cancer treatment is over. You may not notice symptoms until 18-24 months after treatment. Sometimes it can take years to develop.
Ask your doctor about the side effects you may have during treatment.
Contact your health care provider if:
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms after being treated for breast cancer:
Tamoxifen is approved for breast cancer prevention in women aged 35 and older who are at high risk. Discuss this with your doctor.
Women at very high risk of breast cancer may consider preventive (prophylactic) mastectomy. This is surgery to remove the breasts before breast cancer is ever diagnosed. Possible candidates include:
Your doctor may do a total mastectomy to reduce your risk of breast cancer. This may reduce, but does not eliminate the risk of breast cancer.
Many risk factors, such as your genes and family history, cannot be controlled. But making healthy lifestyle changes may reduce your overall chance of getting cancer. This includes eating health foods:

If you don't have children in your house, like me, your fridge might look a bit bare at times. A near empty fridge will run more frequently, sucking up more energy and costing you more money. Your refrigerator runs most efficiently when it's full, or at least fuller. What do I do? Dedicate an entire shelf for my boyfriend's beloved beer. If there's still some extra space after that, try this: Fill pitchers with water, iced tea, or whatever you like to drink, and remember to refill your Brita pitcher every time you use it; if you're a white wine drinker, keep a few unopened bottles in the fridge, this is also helpful if you need a last minute bottle for a dinner party; and you can always load up those empty spaces with those blue ice packs.
Your freezer runs by the same rules as your fridge, meaning it runs best when it's at least two-thirds full. I enjoy ice cream as much as the next gal, but keeping gallons of ice cream in the freezer for too long is not a good idea. So instead, when I finish one container of ice cream, I fill it with water and put it right back in the freezer. Of course, I label them so someone doesn't open my freezer and think I have a problem. If you have an ice maker, make sure the tray is always full and stock up on meat when it's buy one, get one.
PLUS: 8 Items You Need for a Green BBQ
© 2009 Jupiterimages CorporationDishwasher
The most important thing to remember about dishwashers is to only run them when they are absolutely full; otherwise you are wasting water, energy and money. Next, if you have a six-hour delay button on your model, use it. Start it at 6pm (you can always go back in and add more dishes after dinner), this way it will go off at midnight, during off-peak energy hours. What are the pluses to using this magical little button? You'll save money on your bill since off-peak electricity costs less; the power plant will run more efficiently, causing less pollution; and you won't have to listen to the dishwasher running while you're trying to watch TV at night. And don't forget to use environmentally friendly dish detergent. Seventh Generation and Method make good ones. They cost a buck or two more, but to me, it's worth it if it keeps our rivers and streams free of toxins.
Stove/Oven/Toaster Oven/Toaster/Microwave
Which is best, when? Your oven uses the most energy of all of these, and unless it's convection, it's really not very energy efficient. So when you can, use your toaster oven before your conventional oven. If you want a slice of toast, use your toaster before your toaster oven. Your stove top is more efficient than your conventional oven as well, so if you can start something there then transfer it to the oven to cut the cooking time, do so. And when you need to reheat left-overs or boil water, use your microwave. If you don't have a microwave but you do have an electric tea kettle, use that to boil water instead of your stove, then pour the water over the item you're cooking and cover it. See more cooking tips below.
PLUS: 6 Money Saving Ideas
Boiling Foods
Cut down on the amount of time you actively use your stove or cook top. Remember that a covered pot will boil faster than an uncovered one. If you're boiling potatoes, dice them to roughly one-half-inch in size so they cook faster, start them in the cold water, and bring to boil. Once the water has come to a rolling boil, turn off the heat. Leave the pot on the burner, cover and cook for 15-20 min, until fork tender. Do the same for spaghetti-like pasta, except add the pasta after the water is boiling and boil it for two minutes before turning off the heat. Let it sit, covered, for the amount of time remaining according to the directions on the box. If you have more than one vegetable to boil, consider boiling everything in one pot, or placing one pot on top of the other to share the heat. This method works surprisingly well. You can also cook other vegetables using the potato method. When sautéing, you can usually turn off the heat a few minutes before the food is done, but use your best judgment.
For starters, avoid using your conventional oven in the summer to save on cooling costs. Instead, use your toaster oven whenever possible. When it comes to baked goods, like cakes or cookies, you can't make any major changes, but you can make a difference when roasting. To save energy, try cooking multiple things at once when the oven is on. If two dishes only have a 25-50 degree difference in temperature, you can go ahead and cook at the lower or middle temperature and it won't make much difference. You can also turn off the heat 5 minutes before the dish is done. The food will continue to cook in the oven's residual heat.
PLUS: 13 Simple Ways to Go Green
Conserving water is one of the key ingredients to being green. Only about 1% of all water on Earth is usable for humans. This may not seem like a problem to you now, but think about the people who live in drought conditions almost all year round; this could soon happen everywhere if we're not careful. So why not try acting like you're in that situation and really appreciate that water running from your faucet. It's actually easier than you think and you will save on your water bill, too.
Start with rinsing your fruits and veggies. Catch the water in a basin, bowl or jar, whatever you have handy, and then use that water to water your plants. Same with unsalted water you've used to boil potatoes, pasta, etc. If you leave out the salt you can use this water (cooled, of course) for your plants as well. The easiest way I've found to do this is to use a slotted spoon or spider, or if you cooked using a strainer insert, great. Scoop out the food, and leave the water in the pot to cool. When you have a dish you need to wash by hand, turn off the water between pre-rinsing and rinsing or use a basin for the pre-rinsing.
To save money on your electric bill use cold water, not hot or even warm, when you wash your hands, rinse fruits and veggies and any other time that doesn't involve you doing dishes. Water heaters use gobs of energy, not to mention all that water you're wasting while you wait for it to get hot.
If you'd like to learn more about going green in the kitchen, I suggest reading Cooking Green by Kate Heyhoe. It's full of interesting facts, helpful ideas and recipes, too.

He had nothing to hide.
The 32-year-old Anniston resident was making his first batch of beer since Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley signed a bill Thursday afternoon that shook the stigma off of home-brewing of beer, wine, cider and mead.
"This is something I can say, 'I made this," he said, beaming through a brown beard at the stainless kettle standing on a propane burner in his yard. He learned to brew in Georgia, but found it was illegal in his new home state when he moved to Anniston two years ago, he said.
Across the state, homebrewers are finally free to come out of the shadows. Before Bentley inked the bill into law — which took effect immediately — making alcoholic beverages of any kind without a license from the state was forbidden. Now that domestic brewing and winemaking have the state's blessing, some advocates say hobbyists will help a nascent Alabama industry that has been growing since 2009, when the state started loosening restrictions on beer.
Stopping no one
To be clear, many people were brewing in Alabama before it became legal this week, an estimated 5,000 of them, according to the American Homebrewers Association, a membership organization that promotes the hobby.
Dan Roberts is director of the Alabama Brewers Guild, a group that represents the state's independent commercial brewers. The organization has 19 member companies, he said, including a few breweries still in the works. Almost all of those have been founded since 2009, when Alabama raised the amount of alcohol allowed in beer sold in the state, he said. And brewery owners or partners who didn't start out brewing at home are the exception, Roberts said.
"Most of the primary partners are homebrewers," he said.
According to a report released in February by Roberts' group, 85 Alabamians were employed in brewing in 2012. With more breweries expected to open across the state this year, employment in 2013 was projected to reach 189.
Stuart Carter is a director of Free the Hops, the state grassroots group of beer lovers that pressed for lifting the alcohol limit in 2009 and has scored other legislative wins since then. He predicted that the next wave of brewery owners will come from among Alabamians now brewing legally at home. Part of that, he said, is because the new law allows brewers to take their creations to competitions to be judged alongside other beers.
"It'll let people scratch their itch, to try something, put it in a competition," Carter said. "The better you do and the more consistently you win stuff in competitions, the lower becomes the bar to opening a commercial brewery."
Roberts said he wasn't sure what the effect will be on the state's beer industry because of people brewing at home under the new law.
"It depends on how many people were not brewing because it was illegal," he said.
But he noted that it was the federal government's legalization of homebrewing in 1978 that led to the boom in small and independent beer makers to which Alabama is only now catching up; it was the last state to pass a law allowing homebrewing.
"A lot of these guys, a certain percentage of them, started going pro," he said of the hobby's early aficionados. New styles began to appear on shelves, Roberts said, like nothing that had ever come out of the big breweries operated by Anheuser-Busch, Miller or Coors. The new flavors were often developed, Roberts said, by hobbyists tinkering with recipes at home.
The creations of those professional brewers in turn inspire new beer fans, who themselves turn to homebrewing.
Starting something
Rodney Snider began sharing craft beer with friends years ago, and eventually hatched a plan to open a brewery in Anniston. He tried his hand at homebrewing. Now that's helped prepare him and his partners to open Cheaha Brewing Co. in downtown Anniston, where brewing equipment is still being prepared for production. Snider said that after the brewpub — a combination brewery and restaurant — opens in a few weeks, he'd like to cater to homebrewers, perhaps offering classes to help novices get started.
Among them will likely be Matt Hunter of Anniston. Several years ago he began trying the new beer styles he'd seen on the shelves and sharing them with friends. The Anniston resident now prefers India pale ales to his old standby, Coors Light.
An Army Reserve officer, Hunter was called up to an active-duty assignment in Huntsville three years ago, he said. That's just when Huntsville's craft beer scene began to grow. He started visiting breweries and tasting in their taprooms.
"You can talk to the guy that made the beer," he said. "I just thought that was kind of interesting."
He and some friends in Anniston decided to try their hands at making their own beer "a couple years ago," Hunter said. They did it, he said, knowing it was outlawed in Alabama, and in hindsight perhaps should have been more cautious.
"We weren't very discreet about it," he said.
Now, there's no need to be.
For Steven Shelton, the freedom to make his own beer in Alabama has him eager to experiment. Standing on his lawn amid the earthy smell of boiling malted barley Friday, he bubbled with ideas — brown ale flavored with the pecans from his backyard, a saison infused with strawberries from Watts Strawberry Farm, his mother's business in Munford, or with the honeysuckle creeping up his back fence.
"The limits are endless," Johnson said.
He checked under his boiling kettle's lid, and adjusted his brown shades against the sunlight.

States Focus on Rusty Blackbird
Recent efforts by the Rusty Blackbird Technical Working Group have been directed toward making state environmental agencies aware of the steep decline in the population of the rusty blackbird.
So far, State Wildlife Action Plans in 17 states currently list the rusty blackbird as a species of concern:
- Arkansas
- Illinois
- Iowa
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Minnesota
- Mississippi
- New York
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Virginia
- Wisconsin
- Alaska
- Maine
- New Hampshire
- Vermont
Other states are likely to follow suit soon including: Florida, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, West Virginia, Michigan, and Maryland are all considering listing it. Only Ohio has decided not to list the rusty blackbird as they only list birds that breed in the state.
In Canada, it is listed as a species of "Special Concern" under the federal Species at Risk Act. It is excluded, along with all blackbird species, from the Migratory Birds Convention Act, which protects most migratory birds.
It is categorized as "May be at Risk" in the Northwest Territories and New Brunswick; "Sensitive" in Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island; and "Secure" in Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

But he can hope people will keep their weapons at home.
"If we get 40 people walking around with guns, our phones are going to be ringing like crazy," Denham said. "We don't need that."
Denham and other local law enforcement officers have spent the last few weeks gearing up for the implementation of Alabama's new "open carry" gun law, which goes into effect Thursday. Passed earlier this year, the bill sweeps away cities' regulations on open carrying of firearms, makes it easier to carry a gun in a car and limits sheriffs' ability to deny concealed pistol permits.
Advocates and critics of the law disagree about where and when it was openly legal to carry a gun before Thursday. But law enforcement officials agree that under the new law, carrying a pistol in a holster will be legal in most public places.
Calhoun County's sheriff thinks that's a bad idea.
"There is a myth, an utter myth, that the presence of a firearm alone will make you safer," said Sheriff Larry Amerson, president of the National Sheriffs' Association and one of the new law's most vocal critics.
Amerson said that under prior law, carrying firearms openly in public places was largely acceptable under state law, though it was prohibited on other people's private property. Most cities, Amerson said, also had some sort of ban on openly carrying firearms.
The new state law invalidates those city ordinances, Amerson said, and allows people to carry firearms at businesses unless the owner expressly says no.
Amerson said that if the bill leads to more people openly carrying weapons, it will likely result in more shootings. Gun owners often think having a weapon will deter attacks, he said, but law enforcement officers see it differently.
"There are people that are deranged, people who are high on drugs and alcohol, who are not afraid of the mere presence of a firearm," he said.
Oxford police Chief Bill Partridge says concern about the new law has been blown out of proportion.
"If they're going to carry it, I want them to carry it in the open, where I know they have it," Partridge said.
Partridge said carrying a firearm was already legal in Oxford, where open-carry advocates would gather at Starbucks with pistols on their hips.
"If somebody's going to bring a gun to a fight, they're going to bring a gun to a fight," Partridge said.
In neighboring Anniston, Denham said he's less concerned about the possibility of armed conflict and more concerned about the effect the change will have on police officers.
Before the law, he said, there was no city ordinance banning people from openly carrying pistols — but police had the ability to stop and question those who did. There was an ordinance that banned people from carrying rifles or shotguns.
The new law renders Anniston's rifle-toting ban ineffective, and it creates a "rebuttable assumption" that armed people in public are not breaking the law — effectively limiting officers' ability to question them.
Denham said the law would seem to allow someone to carry a rifle in a city park. He said it's not clear whether that rifle would have to be carried over the shoulder, or could be in someone's hands. He worries that gun-rights advocates will push the law to its limits, spawning calls to police from frightened residents and placing police officers in a tough legal situation.
"My biggest concern is that very new guy in the department will try to do the right thing, and will get into a situation he's not ready for," Denham said.
Denham said his department has been briefing officers on how the new law works, and he's hoping most gun owners will opt not to test it.
The new law's primary author said he won't be among the people who carry a weapon openly in public Thursday. Sen. Scott Beason, R-Gardendale, said he has a permit to carry his gun concealed.
"I'm a big self-defense proponent," he said. "One of the things a pistol does is level the playing field."
Beason said he wrote the bill to bring clarity to the state's gun laws. He said gun ownership is a constitutional right, and the right to carry a weapon is implied in that right.
Beason has long been critical of Alabama's concealed-carry laws, which required people to get a permit to carry a concealed pistol and allowed sheriffs to deny permits to people they considered a risk, even if they didn't have a criminal record.
That law, Beason said, allowed sheriffs to deny permits to people they simply didn't like. Under the law taking effect Thursday, sheriffs have to show a reason why they've denied a permit, and applicants have a right to appeal.
The new law still allows sheriffs to deny permits to people with criminal records. Amerson said it also denies permits to people who've been committed to mental institutions against their will — if they used a gun in the incident that got them committed.
The old law, Amerson said, let sheriffs screen out people who seemed angry or mentally disturbed but didn't have that sort of official history.
"Under this law, if the guy from Sandy Hook applied for a permit, I'd have to give it to him," he said, referring to the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school last year. "If he walked into our office looking bizarre and acting bizarre he's still entitled to a gun permit."
Supporters say the new law clarifies state gun rules, but Amerson said the law has created a new set of complex rules for police and gun owners to master.
Among other things, he said, gun owners are barred from bringing weapons to events with a fence and a ticket booth, but allowed to carry openly at sports events without those barriers.
The bill still bans guns at courthouses and at city halls when council meetings are in session. The Alabama State House, where the Legislature meets, is a gun-free zone, but Beason said it wouldn't be any less safe if guns were allowed.
"I don't think it matters," he said. "If someone was out to get me, they don't have to get me at my State House office. They could get me in the parking lot."
Beason said he didn't believe the new law would lead to an increase in armed conflict.
"I'm not concerned about it at all," he said. "Alabamians are not more prone to violence than anybody else."

First off, this is a GREAT series, Jay.
Relievers seem to pose the biggest challenge for HOF judging given that the role has evolved over eras (per Michael10's point) - making Saves an unreliable benchmark - and WAR doesn't feel as suited for judging relievers.
Case in point, here's a Rivera vs. Wagner comparison:
IP - 1,219 vs. 903
ERA+ - 206 vs. 187
Clearly both were dominant relievers and Rivera's edge in IP and ERA+ feels like it should net out to something like 50% more value for Rivera (33% more IP + 10% better ERA+ = 1.33*1.1=49%). Yet Rivera's WAR is nearly double Wagner's (52.7 to 26.9).
Here's a list of relievers with 700+IP who pitched the vast majoirty of IP post-1980 (IP/ERA+):
Rivera - 1219/206
Wagner - 903/187
K-Rod - 720/159
Henke - 789/157
Nathan - 794/153
Wetteland - 765/148
Quiz - 1043/146
Percival - 708/146
Hoffman - 1089/141
Foulke - 786/140
Benitez - 779/140
Nen - 715/139
Franco - 1245/138
F-Cord - 824/135
Montgomery - 868/135
Nelson - 784/133
While it's clear that there are a lot more entries here for post-Eck relievers, it's hard to see how Smith stands out in any way except for IP. But the ERA difference - and the endless supply of okay relievers - easily nullifies this advantage. If you took Tom Henke and added 500 IPs at a 92 ERA+, you get Lee Smith. Quizenberry and Franco pitched comparable IP at a better ERA+.
Other than Rivera, the only pitcher on this list who stands out for HOF-consideration is Billy Wagner given his significant ERA+ difference vs. contemporaries. Hoffman had longevity but never had the same dominance as Rivera and Wagner.

I'm trying to come up with a calculation for a stirng attribute that will detect if a boolean is true or false, then depending on which, it will return a text value of "yes" or "no". I think I'm close, but seem to be struggling getting it right. I'm fairly new to calculations, so don't laugh to hard at my attempt :
import System
static def GetAttributeValue(Request):
Thanks in adavance
Try this - make sure you keep the spaces as I've got them
import System
static def GetAttributeValue(Request):
Value = "Yes"
if Request._SystemAccessECW == 'True':
Value= "Yes"
Value = "No"
return Value
In Stu's guide to calculations, he mentions the Boo Primer which helps loads to get the syntax right!
1 space needed in lines 3, 4 and 6, and 2 spaces for line 5 and 7.
Home time for me.
The calculation seems to be working.... I added the spaces as suggested, but got the following:
I then added 2 spaces to line 8 and the syntax is now valid. However...I have another problem now:
I added the attrinute to my window I'm using this on and tested it out. Here's my results:
Any more suggestions?? Here's the calculation so far (thanks Elizabeth. You rock):
It could just be how I am looking at it, but it looks like the last line is indented the same as the line above it. Won't this mean that the only time that the "return" statement runs is when the "else" section is fired. I think you may need to remove a space from the last line.
To test for a boolean value, don't quote the True or False in your check, see below-
import System
static def GetAttributeValue(Request):
if Request._SystemAccessECW == true
Value= "Yes"
Value= "No"
return Value
@ Paul: I did remove the extra space on the last line and syntax was still valid. It did not help to get the results I'm looking for though.
@ Hadyn:I removed the quotes around True and got an unknown identifier error.
Thanks to both of you for the suggestions. I was reading up on Boo Primer as Elizabeth suggested and thought maybe I'm in need of an "if-else" statement somewhere in there. After several attemps, its still a no go.
Did you use a capital T in True? I think this is a case sensitive item, it either needs to be capitalised or not, can't remember sorry, so if it is capitalised then try without a capital T.
P.S. that calculation does contain an if-then-else statement already.
Somewhere I saw it done this way and it works for me ...
if Request._SystemAccessECW.ToString() == 'True'
I usually see everything after the Static line is indented 1 space. Anything to be completed within an IF statement gets another indent. Your example would end up with:
import line, no spaces
static line, no spaces
if line, 1 space
value line, 2 spaces
else line, 1 space
value line, 2 spaces
return line, 1 space
If you have 2 spaces before the return value, then it will only return a value in the else situation and the true situation will never return a value.
Of course nested if statements could require additional spaces and it strts getting messy.
I have an enhancement request for a BOO debug tool so we can step line by line through a calculation and see the values. Visual Studio does an excellent job of tracing and would be a good example of how I would like to see it work.
@ Hadyn: I changed to lowercase t and removed the quotes. Syntax is valid. Like I said, I'm a noob with this stuff...lol. Still a no go though.
@ Carl: I added your suggestion and checked spacing again. Syntax is valid, but it has not helped.
I just don't see how this would not work correctly, unless it has nothing to do with the calculation and its not returning the "yes" value because of something else involved?
Ok, to recap, here's my current calculation:
import System
static def GetAttributeValue(Request):
if Request._SystemAccessECW.ToString() == true:
Value= "Yes"
Value = "No"
return Value
And the goal of all this is:
From the looks of it (hard to tell) it appears that everything below the Static line is not indented, all of my calculations are indented 1 space. At the end of the line is a ":" which means the next section should be indented. Notice that after the IF statement, the value is indented 2 spaces. The ELSE is not needed because the 'No' is assumed.
The other thing we don't know is if there is a default value. If there is no default value then a third option exists (no choice has been made). I recommend making True or False a default value. I also recommend making it a mandatory value so it shows up on WebAccess windows as a check box and not a drop down value. Might as well do both.
I also don't see that Value has been initialized to a string so it might be expecting an integer. This is how I would do it:
import System
static def GetAttributeValue(Request):
Value = 'No'
if Request._SystemAccessECW.ToString() == 'True':
Value= 'Yes'
return Value
The courier font helps show the spacing a little bit better.
The ToString returns a string and not a boolean value so you need to check it against a string.
This is awesome. It worked like a charm. Kudos to you sir. I'll take your advice about the webaccess part as well. Also, I do agree with you about having a debug tool. I think it would be very helpful. The errors when checking the syntax now just seem criptic and not too helpful. Personally, I'd like to see LD relase a guide on calculations that would include tons of examples (wishful thinking).
Thanks to all who contirbuted on this discussion.
Agreed, a manual with LOTS of examples would really be nice. Part of the problem is they don't support BOO. It's in the product, as you can see here many people use it, but support doesn't officially support it. These forums are the basic support mechanism for BOO and we keep passing around examples. I am half tempted to start my own manual but there is still so much I don't know.
On the positive side it does some amazing stuff and really makes Service Desk a much more powerful package.
Can you post up the link for the enhancement request, I would vote for a debug tool definitely. Also, I believe LANDesk does support the calculation feature, and any OOTB calculations but what they don't support is custom calculations.
As it stands, you can do some debugging using tracing in the TPS.config, however this isn't always helpful. Also, for examples/info on writing BOO code I've found 3 things have really helped when developing calculations-

Charlottesville Commonwealth's Attorney Dave Chapman kicked off his re-election campaign on Monday.
The 59 year-old Democrat wants a sixth term as the city's top prosecutor.
He told a crowd at CitySpace that he thrives on trial work, and that he is good at what he goes.
Chapman says there are a number of projects the office is working on and that he'd like to see them through.
"If people lack confidence in the criminal justice system, they then lack trust in the outcomes," Chapman said. "We must ensure that we have the confidence and trust of everyone in the community."
Chapman first began serving as commonwealth's attorney in 1994. He is now running in the Democratic primary against opponent Steve Deaton.

This clip shows how GW2 character creation could be used to replicate a celebrity...
If we can recreate Thundercats characters using charr creation, I'll be happy ;)
Cheetara, oh yeah....
EDIT: couldn't figure out how to embed a youtube video so here's the url - http://www.youtube.com/embed/cZ9yx3M758Y
EDIT2: Thanks to someone, I got it to work, will leave the entire link just in case anyway

*necro thread*
So what're people doing for Labor Day weekend? I've had a bad cold all week, so I'm hoping to just sleep and play GW2.

GW2 of course, and I'm hoping to drive up to SF this weekend for fun. If that doesn't work, I'm taking my sister go-karting (Groupon deal!) or going to this night market even that's going on in my city.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much again. I haven't been able to find a job in a long time, which means no GW2 for me :( Some of you may have remembered I was pregnant, too. That spawned into an utterly beautiful and healthy baby girl, who's taken up a decent chunk of my time. I'm still alive, though!

Hey there! I've wondered about you. Glad to hear you have a beautiful baby girl and of course all best wishes re: job search! Thanks for the quick note

Thought this short clip was cool... it's basically x-rayed insects with human skeletons inside them. Couldn't figure out how to embed it so here's a link

Is there any way to search guilds in GW2? I'm only assuming that BaR has set up there, and I'd like to join you guys there too, but I can't for the life of me find out how.

As I also posted in the other topic (have been busy and haven't visited the forums in a bit), drop me a pm ingame and I'll get you the invite. You can pm to Zebrachin Arcanum. From there I can get you the invite :-)
