As reported in Wednesday's Courier-Journal, the recent AAU National Championships and Super Showcases at the Kentucky Exposition Center drew positive reviews from the AAU, the Kentucky State Fair Board and college coaches. All signs point to the event heading back to Louisville in 2015.
But those positive impressions of the tournaments were in sharp contrast to a critical recap written last week by recruiting analyst Scott Phillips of College Basketball Talk — an affiliate of NBCSports.com.
In a column titled "Seven takeaways from AAU Nationals and Super Showcases," Phillips wrote that the tournaments were "extremely disorganized and poorly run."
The Courier-Journal spoke with AAU President Henry Forrest, who said he was "disturbed" by Phillips' article, to get his response to few of the criticisms. Here's a rundown.
• Phillips wrote that the AAU was "ripping people off" by charging excessive entry fees for teams to the Nationals and for college coaches' informational packets about players.
Forrest said the team entry fee, which is more than $600 per AAU team, is in line with what other tournaments around the country charge.
Forrest said the AAU college coaches' packets, which include players' contact information, are unique because they are actually for five tournaments – 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade Nationals and 10th- and 11th-grade Super Showcase, and the books could be purchased separately or, for a discount, as one.

"You could get all five books for $425, but if you purchase them all separate it's $500," he said. "So we were cheaper than most of these tournaments, and if you look at our books the quality is superior to a lot of these tournaments, where all they do is put some names in a book and go copy it and sell it to you for $300. We actually have a very nice book. … I think our prices are in line with what it costs to play in the tournament."
• Phillips criticized the cost of concessions at the Expo Center, including $3.50 for a bottle of soda and $5 for a slice of pizza, and he wrote that the prices appear to have been marked up just for the event.
Fair Board spokeswoman Amanda Storment denied that, saying that Expo Center's concessionaire has to have the Fair Board approve any request it makes for raising its prices, and it had made no such requests. She said the prices were the same as for any other recent or upcoming event at the facility, and they are reviewed regularly.
Forrest added the AAU had nothing to do with concessions at the Expo Center and received no revenue from them. He also said that he would bring up the issue of the Expo Center's $8 daily parking fee when the sides discuss next year's contract because he felt it was burdensome to fans.
• Phillips also alleged, based on his observations and without giving specific examples, that the sprawling, 18-court setup led to "at least a dozen" instances in which college coaches were allowed to interact for extended periods of time (beyond just a bump and greeting) with parents of players — contact that is prohibited by the NCAA during July.
Forrest said the NCAA had three enforcement representatives on hand all week to monitor and prevent such interactions, and Forrest believes there were clear demarcations for where college coaches and spectators were supposed to sit.
He said, however, that at any big event, "if people want to cheat, they're going to cheat, no matter what you do. I just think we had a good setup. … I thought we did a good job."
Forrest added that as the crowds got bigger over the weekend, it was very difficult to keep every spectator from going to sit in a chair that's designated for a college coach, and he personally told several people they had to move. He said that happens at every event, no matter the size.
Ultimately, Forrest said, if the NCAA was unsatisfied with how the AAU conducted the tournaments, "I'm sure they'll let us know," because it had representatives on hand.
• College coaches, who were watching recruits during the July evaluation period, seemed pleased with the AAU's move from Orlando to Louisville. Virginia Tech's Buzz Williams was one of several interviewed who praised the setup.
"Nothing against Orlando — I liked going to Orlando —but as far as the ability to evaluate and be efficient in your evaluations, I don't think it's close," he said. "You have all the teams under one roof, so from an efficiency standpoint, it's just so much better because you know where everything is, where it's going to be. It's right by the airport. The hotels are right by the airport. … I think it's perfect."

USA Today's PopCandy blog has debuted the poster for Comic Book Men, the new AMC reality series from filmmaker, and occasional comics writer, Kevin Smith.
Described as "Pawn Stars for fanboys," the series chronicles the exploits of Walter Flanagan, Bryan Johnson, Ming Chen and Mike Zapcic, employees of Smith's Secret Stash comic book store in Red Bank, New Jersey.
The first season, which consists of six one-hour episodes, premieres Sunday, Feb. 12 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on AMC, right after The Walking Dead.
I cant wait.I worked and have spent alot of time in comicbook shops and it sounds right up my nerd alley.Cool.
I really really hope this show doesn't start a surge of idiots in my local comic shop trying to sell single issues. The days of selling single issues for hundreds of bucks are done, hell they were done 20 years ago. If you come into my local shop and have the first 10 issues of ultimate spiderman then YEA come on in and try to sell it. But if your trying to sell the death of superman (opened) and held together by scotch tape then get out.
I hear the gears on eBay turning, that 700 batman $maybe $3.00 after this show $30.00 lol, i hope to god this doesn't happen, but then agian my batman collection that i do have goes up in value.

We deal with consensus-based online estimation and tracking of (non-) stationary signals using ad hoc wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A distributed (D-) least-mean square (LMS) like algorithm is developed, which offers simplicity and flexibility, while it solely relies on single-hop communications among sensors. Starting from a pertinent squared-error cost, we apply the alternating-direction method of multipliers to minimize it in a distributed fashion; and utilize stochastic approximation tools to eliminate the need for a complete statistical characterization of the processes of interest. By resorting to stochastic averaging and perturbed Lyapunov techniques, we further establish that local estimates are exponentially convergent to the true parameter of interest when observations are noise free and linearly related to it. This convergence result is necessary for bounding the estimation error in the presence of noise, and holds not only when regressors are white across time but even when they exhibit temporal correlations. Numerical tests confirm the merits of the novel D-LMS algorithm and its stability analysis.

A historic North Canterbury hotel has been gutted by fire
just days after the property was sold.
Waipara Fire Service chief fire officer Paul Harris they were
called to the historic Waipara Hotel about 2.30pm.
"The accommodation end of the hotel was pretty well involved
in fire when we arrived," he said.
It took five fire crews more than 90 minutes to bring the
blaze under control.
"We were quite hampered by false ceilings in the roof spaces
which made it a quite difficult fire to fight."
No-one was in the building at the time of the fire, Mr Harris
The building had only just been sold.
"It went up for auction last Friday and it was sold. The
possession was in July sometime so the previous owners were
still there."
"It's got accommodation for approximately 10 rooms. It's not
a huge place, it's an old country-type hotel, it's about 130
years old."
The accommodation end of the building was "pretty well burned
out", Mr Harris said.
"The kitchen etcetera is all gone, the bar area and all that
area is all pretty well good apart from the water and smoke
The owner's dogs were rescued by passers-by, Mr Harris said.
No neighbouring buildings were threatened by the blaze.
Southern fire communications shift manager Andrew Norris said
on arrival the building was found to be "well involved" in
"It's suffered extensive damage." Fire crews remained at the
site until around 6.30pm dampening down hot spots, Mr Norris
Specialist fire investigators were due to investigate the
blaze tomorrow, however the fire was not thought to be
suspicious, he said.

A former major league catcher, Fox Sports broadcaster Tim McCarver was a member of four franchises in his career, but he spent much of it with the St. Louis Cardinals and Phillies.
The Phillies and Cardinals have a chance to be joined for another reason. If the Phillies reach the World Series, they will become the first National League team to do so in three consecutive seasons since the 1942-44 Cardinals.
McCarver pointed out that everyone around Major League Baseball realizes how difficult it is to put together consecutive winning seasons the way the Phillies have.

Four of us, all first-year medical students, had just moved into a house in downtown Baltimore. One afternoon, I was standing by the garage watching some children play wiffle ball in the alley, when one little girl, spying the new neighbor and perhaps tiring of the game, walked over to me.
"Hello." "Hi." "What grade are you in?" I asked. "Fourth," she answered. Then, after looking me over for a moment: "What grade are you in?" I did a quick calculation and replied, "Seventeenth." In one motion, her mouth dropped open, her eyes filled with tears, and she walked away.

Rhoda Comfrey's death seemed unremarkable; the real mystery was her life.
In A Sleeping Life, master mystery writer Ruth Rendell unveils an elaborate web of lies and deception painstakingly maintained by a troubled soul. A wallet found in Comfrey's handbag leads Inspector Wexford to Mr. Grenville West, a writer whose plots revel in the blood, thunder, and passion of dramas of old; whose current whereabouts are unclear; and whose curious secretary--the plain Polly Flinders--provides the Inspector with more questions than answers. And when a second Grenville West comes to light, Wexford faces a dizzying array of possible scenarios--and suspects--behind the Comfrey murder.
Brilliantly entertaining, exceptionally crafted, A Sleeping Life evokes the dark realities, half-truths, and flights of fancy that constitute a life.
About the Author

My family has maintained a membership at the Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum for three years. We frequently visit more than once a month and have found the membership to be a great value. Our play sessions are always fun, engaging, and always last several hours. The Discovery Museum offers a wonderfully well rounded experience that incorporates the arts, sciences, and humanities. The art programming is very diversified and includes daily self guided projects in it's Art in the Making Studio, once a month Visiting Artist guided projects, once a month Discovery Story Theater plays, and summer time art camps. Our community is lucky to have the Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum where quality programs and imaginative play contribute to the quality of our children's lives.

My children grew up going to The Discovery Museum. Now they work and volunteer there. I have served on the Board of Directors. The Discovery Museum which offers open art experiences every day in their art room; paper bag puppets are the favorite here. Exhibits in the museum feature art in association with science. Pattern tiles, a poetry wall, and bird relief rubbings are permanent exhibits. There is a new PVC pipe organ for musical experimentation. Art, science, math, and play are everywhere at the Discovery Museum. Kids work together, even when they don't know one another.

The Discovery Museum offers many art and theater experiences throughout the year. On the second weekend of every month they host a Visiting Artist series that engages all ages. The programs vary from poetry to water colors. It is always a unique experience to be able to learn from professional artists in our community. Discovery Story Theater is also a favorite of mine, that is offered on the third Saturday of each month. My husband and I brought my niece to the "Reckless Red and the Little Wolf" play that was a spin off of "The Little Red Riding Hood." The spin was to put the focus on the little gray wolf so that the audience would learn aren't scary creatures that eat people, but have a place in our complex environment. The plays are hilarious, educational, and our niece loved being able to go on stage to help with the play. The Discovery Museum is always offering something new and different for the families in our community. They are a leader in hands-on education, and offer endless hours of play for children of all ages.

Imy last a year the battery quit. Took it to walmart to replace battery and she broke the part that holds battery in. So they paid to replace my watc. So ordered another one. The other two I purchased was brown band and look nicer than the one I received to replace the one walmart broke. I think they need to change color back and make better quality watch that will last longer than a year.

Running Time: 122
Company: 3 Vision Entertainment
Cast: Lexie Leigh, Tiffany Rayne, Jasmine Tame, Vivica Charms, Vanessa Lynn, Handsome Rob, Bella Monet
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Ahh, to be a teenager again. The freedom of youth, the wild exuberance and folly of lust. And the uninhibited fucking, sucking, and cumming with friends and neighbors.
Untamed Teens has a whole lot of the aforementioned fucking, sucking, and cumming, often featuring some real beauties in the process. Take, for example, Jasmine Tame, who gets it on in a threesome with Handsome Rob and friend Vivica Charms. This lovely blonde with the big ass looks great both getting fucked, and strapping one on and hitting Charms? shit with her rubber dong.
The best scene, however, involved gorgeous young Tiffany Rayne, a stunning blonde with a killer body and a smile that doesn't quit, even when she's getting fucked within an inch of her life. This girl is hot.
The rest is ok, but nothing special, although the two scenes mentioned make Untamed Teens solidly worth watching.

Massage Finds New Believers
By MICHEL MARRIOTT
Published: May 22, 1996
SUE SMITH, a 42-year-old marathon runner from Irvington, N.Y., would not consider tackling serious mileage without a body-limbering sports massage as part of her regimen. "It's great before and after you run," she said. "It makes you nice and loose."
Clark Wolf is also a believer. With almost religious devotion, the food and restaurant consultant from Manhattan climbs half naked onto a table once a week, stretches out, shuts his eyes and indulges his stress-stricken muscles in the deep rub of a full-body massage. "I'm not looking for the magic button to make me perfect and young and live forever," said Mr. Wolf, a fit 45-year-old who has taken massage seriously for 12 years. "All I know is that massage works for me."
Charles A. Dambacher, 100, relishes the therapeutic value of massage. A reluctant convert, he has a therapist visit him at his home in northern California. "I find it is very relaxing and very medically beneficial," said Mr. Dambacher, who had to give serious thought to having a stranger touch his body. "Good circulation is just like a fresh stream through the body rather than a stagnant one."
After decades of being relegated to the margins of hedonistic exercise for the pampered and bored -- or worse, a wink-and-nod cover for prostitution -- massage, one of the oldest health treatments, is out of the parlor and finding enormous popularity among millions of Americans, from athletes to the aged.
With many of its techniques rooted in 4,000-year-old Chinese beliefs, massage is being used as a counterbalance in the lives of the exercise-exhausted and stressed-out. Indeed, the various styles of massage are quickly becoming as familiar to many as the best brands of low-fat yogurt. Even the Internet is loaded with thousands of Web sites and bulletin boards touting the "regenerative" virtues of massage.
According to the American Massage Therapy Association, the oldest and largest group representing massage therapists, there are 120,000 to 150,000 massage therapists in the United States. (The industry has discarded the terms "masseur" and "masseuse" as not sounding professional.) Membership in the 52-year-old organization -- now 24,000 -- more than doubled between 1990 and 1995, it said. Licensing requirements vary from state to state.
There are several explanations for the renaissance of massage. Many experts say it is a result of a convergence of the trend-making baby boomers approaching middle-age, a growing interest in exercise physiology, an increase in skepticism about the health-care establishment and a new-age quest to explore alternative methods for getting and staying well.
From hourlong rubs in well-appointed therapists' offices to 10-minute massages at Great American Back Rub stores to gentle neck rubs at neighborhood nail salons, there is a massage for practically every body and budget.
The three basic massage techniques used in the United States are Swedish, shiatsu and reflexology. In recent years, sports massage, a combination of Swedish and shiatsu, has become widespread among both world-class athletes and weekend players. Here is a look at the four techniques.
Swedish massage concentrates on improving the movement of blood and lymph through the muscles. The strokes on the body tend to be long, smooth and rhythmic. Its goal, said instructors at the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Ithaca, N.Y., is to relieve aching muscles, increase relaxation and create a sense of general well-being.
The technique was developed in the early 1800's by Per Henrik Ling, a Swede who borrowed heavily from Chinese, Egyptian, Greek and Roman styles of body work. While at first challenged by the Swedish medical establishment, the "Swedish movements," as Mr. Ling referred to his technique, were gradually embraced by Sweden's royal family and its state physicians and spread throughout Europe.
A Swedish massage lasts about an hour and costs $50 to $100, depending on location.
Shiatsu, which means "finger pressure" in Japanese, encompasses a broad range of massage styles. Underlying shiatsu are the Eastern concepts that the health and vitality of the human body depend on a balance of its energy, and that body and mind are one.
Shiatsu therapists say energy balance can be maintained by pressing acupuncture points that run along some 14 major meridians, or channels, in the body. Meridians are believed to be linked to a body organ or psycho-physical function. Therapists use many parts of their hands as well as their elbows and knees. The goal? To unblock congested energies.
An hour session usually costs $75 to $100, said Richard Lombardo, a spokesman for Health Enhancement, a Brooklyn company that provides worksite massage to companies like Home Box Office. Reflexology
Reflexology, much like shiatsu, has as its central belief the Chinese concept that the body has energy channels and that they can be manipulated by applying pressure to specific locations. A major difference is that reflexology locates these pressure or reflex points only in the hands and feet. The points are believed to be linked to various organs, glands and parts of the body. The tips of the toes, for example, are said to correspond with the sinuses.
Practiced for thousands of years in Asia and northern Africa, reflexology surfaced in the United States shortly after the turn of the century, when it was known as "zone therapy."

Holiday Macadamia Nut Brittle
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
This is my Christmas Brittle. The Macadamia Nuts give this a nice buttery taste. During the holidays is the only time I grab the macadamia nuts! Why, I think they are little expensive for everyday baking, but during the holidays, I want to do something a little more special.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups shelled macadamia nuts (salted)
- 1 1⁄4 cups granulated sugar
- 1⁄3 cup light corn syrup
- 1⁄3 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. (180 C).
- Spread the nuts on a baking tray and toast them in the oven until light golden, 4-6 minutes, turning the nuts after 3 minutes so they toast evenly. Remove them from the oven and the hot pan to let them cool to room temperature. coarsely chop the nuts and set aside.
- Put the sugar in a medium saucepan. Add the corn syrup and water turn stove to medium heat, stir to mix, bring to a boil. Continue boiling, undisturbed, until a layer of bubbles forms on top, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and continue to boil undisturbed for 5 minutes longer. I place a wooden spoon on top of the foil to keep down.
- Remove the foil, add the butter, gently stir with a wooden spoon a few times. When the butter has melted and is combined with the sugar mixture -- and forms a soft boil add your candy thermometer continue cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer inserted into the mixture registers 300 degrees (150 C), about 8-10 minutes (depending on your cookware). Meanwhile, coat a 12-by-17-inch (30-by-43-cm) sheet pan with vegetable oil or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- As soon as the sugar mixture reaches the desired temperature, immediately but carefully stir in the combined salt and baking soda and chopped macadamia nuts. Using a long metal spatula, spread the nut mixture as thinly and evenly as possible over the prepared pan. Leave the brittle to cool to room temperature. The brittle will harden very quickly.
- When the brittle is completely cooled and hardened, run a clean, dry towel over the brittle's surface to absorb some of the oil. Carefully cut or tap the brittle with a mallet to break it into irregular pieces. Store in one or more airtight containers at cool room temperature.
Most Helpful
I've never made brittle before, so I was a little scared, but it turned out amazing! I had to change the recipe a little: my macadamias were already roasted, so I skipped the first step. I didn't have unsalted butter, so I used a little less than 1/2 a teaspoon of salt. Be patient with waiting for the temperature to get to 300 - carefully watch your thermometer. It was at 250 for what seemed like forever and all of a sudden it bounced to past 300 in a matter of seconds when my back was turned! Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe :)
Never made candy before so had to purchase a candy thermometer to make this recipe.
I tell you this so you know I am a pure candy-making-amature.
I also purchased pre-packaged non-salted dry-roasted chopped mac nuts - which cuts out step1.

The recipe was easy. The candy stayed nice and golden in color.
I like salty and sweet so I added a little more salt than the recipe listed.
As soon as I added the mac nuts, salt, and baking soda - it started to tighten up immediately.

Be fast at the spreading - and you're gonna make a lot of friends with this recipe.
This is my first attempt since HS Chemistry class to make brittle. It turned out wonderfully! The instructions were clear and the taste is great. A couple lessons learned, I had to cook the mix for about 15 minutes to reach 300 and I was getting pretty nervous but kept it boiling until it reached that mark. It turned light brown to a dark golden brown. I was worried about it getting too dark, but it didn't. Once the nuts etc are added it starts to harden - I was surprised at how quickly I needed to work to get it on to the baking sheet. It would almost seem helpful to have someone pour it out so the other can immediately start to spread it. It came out super thick and I had to really work to spread, and no a wooden spoon does not work! Thanks so much for posting this recipe. It's one I would make again.

Is there some easy to use program in Ubuntu that can scan many pages straight into a PDF file?

Upon seeing this question I went looking and found gscan2pdf living in the Ubuntu Lucid/Maverick repositories. It uses the same scanning (libsane) engine but the UI is far more Gnome-ish. For a good time, try:
Change the file name from myfile.jpg to myfile.pdf on the save dialog of Simple Scan.
Tested on Ubuntu 14.04, Simple Scan 3.12.1.
This works even though the file type drop-down does not show "PDF", only "Images". I consider this an UI bug.

Recent reports suggest that the hematocrit value may be a significant factor in predisposition to coronary thrombosis.1-4 Hematocrit values of both men and women with myocardial infarction were observed to be higher on the average than those of age-matched control subjects. The data led to the proposal that the red cell volume of patients with coronary artery disease should be reduced by venesection in an effort to prevent thrombosis. An editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association5 notes that these "stirring reports... tend to pick up the threads of medieval medicine...", and raise the question whether phlebotomy may be "an ancient procedure turning modern."
In an independent study of the hematocrit values of normal men and of men with acute myocardial infarction we were unable to corroborate the earlier reports and found no correlation between hematocrit value and occurrence of coronary thrombosis.

New Berlin - When New Berlin Eisenhower girls basketball team takes the floor at 7:30 p.m. Friday at home against Green Bay Preble, the Lions will be playing without the fabulous Nicole Bauman.
Bauman, the state's Miss Wisconsin Basketball (player of the year) last season and the backbone of this team for four seasons, is now playing for the Wisconsin Badgers.
"It will be a different feeling, a different venue," veteran Ike coach Gary Schmidt said. "It's a new cast of characters who will fill the void and get themselves well-prepared. When you lose Miss Wisconsin Basketball, you will miss her, but we are hoping some of kids can do some of the things she did by herself."
Schmidt has plenty of talent returning, led by Jenny Weiland (10.8 points), Katie Lang (10.0), Erin Ganzke (7.1), Jenna York (5.4), Rachel Rush (4.4), Kristin Hesselbach and (3.9) and Jessa Hahn (3.4). Hesselbach is coming off a broken left wrist on her nonshooting hand and returned to the team on Wednesday.
Add newcomers senior Elani Geinopolos (guard) and juniors Karlee Gates (forward) and Anthie Katris (guard) and sophomore Sammy Kozlowski to the mix and the Lions will be the favorites in the redone Woodland - West Division.
Speaking of the rich getter richer, Kozlowski is a transfer from Milwaukee Pius XI who was on the varsity as a freshman.
"On paper we look really good," Schmidt said. "Now you have to come out and put that on the court. The chemistry is going to take a little bit. We have to come up with the right formula, put the pieces of the puzzle together. But I think we will be a good team and a tough team.
"We will look to pressure the ball and get turnovers and score some points off the transition game."
But the key to the Lions' success will be how far will the "big three" carry them.
"Weiland, Lang and Ganzke bring a lot to table," Schmidt said. "They are good defenders and are quick. They are three-year starters. I think they got quicker and we should get scoring from all three in the hole.
More importantly, they have all been there before.
"They have played in big playoff games," Schmidt said. "They know what it takes to win."
Eisenhower opens the season in the Brookfield Central Tournament.

2001 US Presidential Holiday Greeting
Rosh Hashanah, 5762 (2001)
I am pleased to send warm greetings to Jews in the United States, Israel, and other nations around the world as you observe Rosh Hashanah. This year's observance comes in the wake of great tragedy and at a time of national mourning and recovery.
Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of a New Year within the Jewish community, and it is a time for personal reflection. As you prepare for Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, may this solemn period bring forth a deeper devotion to your faith's noble ideals. During this time of renewal and recovery, may countless others join in praying for peace and for the growth of religious tolerance around the world.
Rosh Hashanah celebrates Judaism's remarkable heritage, and it is a reaffirmation of God's mercy, glory, and love. As you look ahead to the coming year, I join with other Americans of diverse backgrounds and beliefs in receiving inspiration from your faith, your holy acts of repentance, and your loving kindness. May this year's celebration bless all who participate as we heal from the wounds inflicted by the recent terrorist attacks.
Laura joins me in sending best wishes for a blessed Rosh Hashanah.
George W. Bush
President of The United States of America

i selected this sink b/c it was undermount, and the drain holes are right in the center of the bowls. my husband said it would be easier to access the plumbing in that spot. i also wanted two sinks. the main thing i like about this sink compared to others i've had is that the divider in the middle is low. it's nice that i can put large items in the sink and it will hang over to the other sink. overall i am very pleased with the sink and i would buy it again.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? fine
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? accurate description
I am very happy with the sink and especially the center column being lower than usual so it is easy to wash frying pans and large dshes. I also bought a faucet from the same company that matches it perfectly. My new kitchen looks fantastic!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? great
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. looks better than I thought it would
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate
We replaced our kitchen countertop and needed to purchase a new double basin sink. This is of excellent quality. . 18 gauge with sound-deadening feature so that when you throw silverware into the sink it doesn't make that awful sound (metal against metal). Love the fact that the basins are of equal size and the drain holes are dead center (so many now are not). This has the look of high quality and durability and has a nice finish to it. Plus the price was way better than I could find in my local area. Highly recommend.
Product arrived promptly, exactly as ordered, well packed and in excellent condition. Pricing fantastic.
love this sink. the low divider is amazing!!!!! i will never go back to the high/normal divider sink. this gives you soooo much more room.
Love the low center. It looks great in my remodeled kitchen.

We stayed there in the Summer of 2012. Very Nice Retro Motel, its like going back to the late 1950's or early 1960's. They welcome pets which is a blessing. Mostly older couples are very friendly guests and staff. Very clean, shopping within walking distance and dining within walking distance. Picnic tables, porch along the stream. The room has a sunken tub. The only other thing it needs is safe access to the stream and it would be prefect.

Snohomish County prosecutors say baristas at five stands owned by Carmela Panico engaged in sex shows and prostitution to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in tips.
The 52-year-old could face up to a year in a jail when she's sentenced in March, but prosecutors are recommending a two-day jail sentence with credit for two days served.
The Daily Herald reports as part of a plea deal Panico agreed to surrender $250,000 deputies seized from her home in a 2013 raid. She also turns over the five coffee stands to the city of Everett. And she agreed to testify against others involved in her criminal activities.

Accused Gentleman Groper's Alibi Checks Out
He is, in fact, just a gentleman.
The District Attorney will drop charges of forcible touching and sexual abuse against Karl Vanderwoude, the Post has learned, despite several women positively identifying him as the Gentleman Groper. The 26-year-old banker, who holds Bible studies in his Park Slope apartment, had an alibi: He was at the office during one of the attacks, and at a West Village work outing during another.

Well, duh. People (porn audiences in particular) enjoy watching the monkeyshines of troubled young girls. They especially like watching if the chicks are done up in plaid skirts and knee socks.
Perhaps it's a cultural thing.
In any case, this is middle-of-the-road fare and perfect for those not seeking anything too extreme.

The face of technology is changing in K-12 schools. More and more schools are successfully adopting 1:1 technology programs where every student has a laptop, and/or bring your own device (BYOD) programs where students are allowed to use their own laptops or tablets, moving away from carts wheeling computers from classroom to classroom for students to use when it's their turn. There are numerous challenges to making this digital transition, as revealed by a recent survey conducted by THE Journal and sponsored by Dell Security. Primary among those challenges are ensuring cybersecurity, providing technology training, and keeping up with upgrades.

It's not simply that students learn in different places and spaces, they actually learn differently depending on the where and when. Understanding this new learning landscape is key to designing successful digital learning programs.
An important element of building a learning environment that prepares students for their future is to equip them with the tools that allows them to inquire, collaborate and create and that they are most likely to use after high school. That means giving them access to Windows 10 and Office 365 Education and a computing device designed for learning. Not only does Windows 10 based devices give students access to a powerful tool for learning, but getting those students comfortable with modern office technology will help prepare them for success after graduation.
