Area Game of the Week -- Leaders emerge for Redmen

E-Mail This Story
By CONOR NICHOLL
SMITH CENTER - Similar to every May, the Smith Center High School football team votes on captains for the upcoming season. The captains are expected to lead in the summer program and during the fall. This season, though, the captains had another responsibility: help the program after legendary coach Roger Barta retired following eight state titles in 35 years. Longtime junior high coach Darren Sasse took over the program.
"They have done a tremendous job this summer of being leaders," Sasse said.
The five captains are senior quarterback Kody Molzahn, senior running back Grant Lambert, senior linemen Wyatt Oliver and Cole Lorenzen and senior end Taylor Zabel. On Friday, Smith Center opens the season playing host to rival Norton. The captains believe they have certain responsibilities for a veteran team that returns eight starters on both sides of the ball.
"Get the team together and becoming just one unit," Lorenzen said. "Everybody on the same page, on the same speed."
"To believe," Molzahn added.
Smith Center, 6-4 with a district championship in 2012, is one of the more experienced 2-1A teams. Molzahn and lineman Jordan Shockley and Nick Johnson were all-league offense last year. Defensively, Lorenzen, Shockley, Lambert, Oliver and Zabel earned honors.
"There is a lot of guys with experience," Sasse said. "There are a lot of guys that have played a lot of football for us. Even some of the juniors that were sophomores last year saw some playing time, especially early when we had a couple of injuries. There is a good, core group. There is a couple of sophomores that moved up last year. We definitely have some quality kids."
Molzahn has played quarterback throughout his career, but moved to running back for a year last season when Payton Buckmaster was under center. Molzahn is back in 2013.
"He is a quiet leader," Sasse said. "Probably sometimes too quiet. I would like him to be a little more vocal sometimes."
Lambert came off an injury two seasons ago and started at running back and linebacker after some preseason injuries to other teammates before the 2012 season.
"If everybody does their job, I believe we can shock a lot of people this season," Lambert said.
Up front, Smith Center traditionally has an undersized, but a strong and quick line. This season is no different. Longtime assistant coach Dennis Hutchinson, who coached Sasse at Smith Center during his playing days on the line, also retired. Now, Sasse is line coach and offensive coordinator.
"Teaching about the same stuff as they were," Lorenzen said. "Redmen football."
Oliver starts at center, while Lorenzen and Zabel are on the ends.
"Solid center in the middle of the line," Sasse said. "Talks, communicates well. Same at linebacker. He is an aggressive kid, a wrestler, very aggressive. Experienced from last year. We expect a lot out of him, too."
Lorenzen is under 6-feet tall and Zabel presents a big target at 6-4. Defensively, Lorenzen will start on the line, Lambert and Oliver at linebackers and Molzahn and Zabel in the secondary. Zabel, one of the area's taller players, was a ballhawk at free safety in 2012.
"Very intelligent kid," Sasse said.
"He played tackle last year on offense and this year, he will be moving to tight end. Use his athletic ability some. A skilled kid. A big kid. I think he will provide some mismatches and get him down the field sometimes when we do want to throw."

Anti-reflux surgery is a treatment for acid reflux or GERD , a problem in which food or stomach acid come back up from your stomach into the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube from your mouth to the stomach.
Reflux often occurs if the muscles where the esophagus meets the stomach do not close tightly enough. A hiatal hernia can make GERD symptoms worse. It occurs when the stomach bulges through this opening into your chest
Symptoms of reflux or heartburn are burning in the stomach that you may also feel in your throat or chest, burping or gas bubbles, or trouble swallowing food or fluids
The most common procedure of this type is called fundoplication. In this surgery, your surgeon will:
Surgery is done while you are under general anesthesia so you are asleep and pain-free. Surgery usually takes 2 to 3 hours. Your surgeon may choose from different techniques.
Open repair
Laparoscopic repair
Endoluminal fundoplication
Fundoplication; Nissen fundoplication; Belsey (Mark IV) fundoplication; Toupet fundoplication; Thal fundoplication; Hiatal hernia repair; Endoluminal fundoplication
Before surgery is considered, your doctor will have you try:
Your doctor may suggest surgery to treat your heartburn or reflux symptoms when:
Anti-reflux surgery is also used to treat a problem where part of your stomach is getting stuck in your chest or is twisted. This is called a para-esophageal hernia.
Risks of any anesthesia are:
Risks of this surgery are:
You may need the following tests:
Always tell your doctor or nurse if:
Before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
Most people who have laparoscopic surgery can leave the hospital within 1 to 3 days after the procedure. You may need a hospital stay of 2 to 6 days if you have open surgery. Most patients go back to work 2 to 3 weeks.
Anti-reflux surgery is a safe operation. Heartburn and other symptoms should improve after surgery. Some people still need to take drugs for heartburn after surgery.
You may need another surgery in the future if you develop new reflux symptoms or swallowing problems. This may happen if the stomach was wrapped around the esophagus too tightly, the wrap loosens, or a new hiatal hernia develops.

WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 30, 2013—Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced it has collaborated with GLOBALFOUNDRIES to deliver 20nm design kits for the Olympus-SoC™ netlist-to-GDS platform. The design kit enables mutual customers to achieve the best performance, power and area with faster design closure times.
"Double patterning and timing closure at advanced nodes require a comprehensive suite of design tools and methodologies," said Andy Brotman, vice president of design infrastructure at GLOBALFOUNDRIES. "Mentor solutions, including Olympus-SoC, help ensure that designs using our 20nm technologies perform and yield well by efficiently utilizing our DRC+ technology to achieve rapid manufacturing closure and avoid lengthy delays in the design cycle."
The Olympus-SoC place and route system provides a comprehensive netlist-to-GDS flow including support for new DRC, double patterning, and DFM rules for GLOBALFOUNDRIES 20nm technology. The Olympus-SoC router has its own native coloring engine along with verification and conflict resolution engines that detect and automatically fix double patterning violations. Expanded features include DP-aware pattern matching, coloring-aware pin access, pre-coloring of critical nets, and DP-aware placement. The Calibre® InRoute™ product allows Olympus-SoC customers to natively invoke Calibre signoff engines during design for efficient and faster manufacturing closure.
"Our customers are designing some of the largest and most complex SoCs that demand high performance and lowest power at 20nm and below" said Pravin Madhani, general manager of the Place and Route group at Mentor Graphics. "Our close partnership with GLOBALFOUNDRIES ensures that our mutual customers will have the tools and reference flows needed to complete their most competitive designs to spec and on time."

Thanks Mr. Rubin,
I just finished reading your article, and my question is what did CPS do to the mother in this case? Did they question whether she new about the bruising or what? Here you have a fatality and the mother goes on with her life, when many (thousands) of other mothers are harassed by CPS and threatened to have their rights taken from them! Some for minor to serious injuries, but not fatal! Bias, in all sense of the word! Arizona CPS needs to be investigated at how they mishandle the lives of children & families in Arizona! This is a good article Maybe next time you'll try going alongside a CPS investigator or caseworker! There's a lot there to be uncovered also!

Blue Moon
Posted in artwork, mixed media, paintings on 12/13/2012 09:50 am by opalI'm experimenting with different eye shapes.
She's looking at a moon.
It's a blue moon.
I also changed the words on my last painting.
It reads, "Innocence is like polished armor; it adorns and it defends." Bishop Robert South You can read it better in person. The paint is really reflective in the picture. I'm not happy but I'm happier. I also put some highlights in her hair. I'm not sure that was the right move.
More paintings to come. I'm able to paint more now that baseball season is over!

Restrictive cardiomyopathy refers to a set of changes in how the heart muscle functions. These changes cause the heart to fill poorly (more common) or squeeze poorly (less common). Sometimes, both problems are present.
Cardiomyopathy - restrictive; Infiltrative cardiomyopathy
In a case of restrictive cardiomyopathy, the heart muscle is normal size or slightly enlarged. Most of the time, it also pumps normally. However, it does not relax normally during the time between heartbeats when the blood returns from the body (diastole).
When the disease progresses, the heart may not pump blood strongly. The abnormal heart function can affect the lungs, liver, and other body systems. Restrictive cardiomyopathy may affect either or both of the lower heart chambers (ventricles). It is very often linked to a disease of the heart muscle .
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is a rare condition. The most common causes are amyloidosis and scarring of the heart from an unknown cause (idiopathic myocardial fibrosis). It also can occur after a heart transplant.
Other causes of restrictive cardiomyopathy include:
Symptoms of heart failure are most common. These symptoms often develop slowly over time. However, sometimes symptoms start very suddenly and are severe.
Common symptoms are:
Other symptoms may include:
A physical exam may show:
Tests for restrictive cardiomyopathy include:
Restrictive cardiomyopathy may appear similar to constrictive pericarditis . A biopsy of the heart or cardiac catheterization may help confirm the diagnosis, but these tests are not done often.
The condition causing the cardiomyopathy is treated when it can be found.
Few treatments are known to work well for restrictive cardiomyopathy. The main goal of treatment is to control symptoms and improve quality of life.
The following treatments may be used to control symptoms or prevent problems:
A heart transplant may be considered if the heart function is very poor and symptoms are severe.
People with this condition often develop heart failure that gets worse. Problems with "leaky" heart valves may also occur.
People with restrictive cardiomyopathy may be heart transplant candidates. The outlook depends on the cause of the condition, but it is usually poor. Average survival after diagnosis is 9 years.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of restrictive cardiomyopathy.

5 Worth the long wait!Paul16 | 01/12/2008 | See all Paul16's reviews (1)Fantastic. Very very diverse to what you may associate with the Killers. Hot Fuss was emotionally driven with thick electronic vocals. Sams Town was a big ballsy American album that was loud and atmospheric.Day and Age is something else, its not even a combination of the two. Its probably as far away from any of the other albums as it possibly can be. Some of the tracks actually want to make you get up and instantly dance eg. Human and I can't Stay. Some songs are very catchy and the words are instantly stamped into your head.Possibly, the only downfall with the album is the 'experiemental' 'Goodnight, Travel Well'. Or, maybe it just hasnt had time to grow me which normally happens with every Killers song.Absolutely delighted with the album and Ive had it on constantly, in the gym, in the car, even at work! If this album does not win album of the year then there's something seriously wrong.
5 3rd Albummartinltfc1 | 06/11/2008 | See all martinltfc1's reviews (1)This is the 3rd album cos the 'sawdust' album was just b-sides and doesnt really count so play got that right and your wrongCant wait for this by the way
5 The best there is!Kaleksi | 23/09/2009 | See all Kaleksi's reviews (2)For 5.49€ I bought this newest The Killers album...and man was I surprised! It's clearly the best album they've done. Tracks like: Spaceman, Human, Joy Ride & A Dustland Fairytale are just pure awesomeness! Day & Age is a must buy for every Killers fan out there and perfect album to get to known them. Buy it!
4 The link between Sams Town and Hot Fuss.Crysis2142 | 19/12/2008 | See all Crysis2142's reviews (68)Top 100 Music Reviewer Top 100 Tickets Reviewer I bought this album as soon as it was released and despite a lack of decent comeback albums this year the killers manage to return without sounding like bruce springsteen or new order. In short this album is a mix of both genres.I'll come clean i wasn't a big fan of human at first, i though it a bit slow, a bit cheesy and confusing. But after a few listens human picks with its poppy tune guitar and drum beat in the second verse and its well worth a listen. Other standout tracks are spaceman (which i frst heard live at leeds) which starts of very much like a track straight from hot fuss, with its stadium rock opening and up beat chorus, but with some slight patchy lyrics. I also enjoyed Losing Touch which combines the indie springsteen guitar with the new order sound of hot fuss which brings a delightfully diverse track. The last few song are a bit unmemorable (like hot fuss weirdly) but the value of the first seven tracks are worth your time.It can't be compared to either killers album as it sounds so different. If you liked The previous albums there is no guarantee you will like this.
4 It's STILL the Killers, it's STILL good, just different...SamusAran | 26/11/2008 | See all SamusAran's reviews (3)Since their debut album the Killers have always strived to take a different direction with each album and it works, Hot Fuss was excellent for it's time of release and while some songs were grossly overhyped, tracks like Mr Brightside still shine on today, like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun.Personally from a fan perspective, Sam's Town is their best, the direction was right for them and almost every track oozed quality.Now their third main album Day and Age is yet another brilliant direction, not quite as good as Sam's Town but nonetheless decent; the eighties throwbacks are actually quite minimal and if one thing can be said about it, the album is most definitely their most diverse and mostly in a good way.For me Human, while good is overrated, Spaceman is the track of the album here, back up by suitably solid songs that are A Dustland Fairytale, Neon Tiger and The World We Live In, the rest of the tracks bar one or two are "growers" but overall it's another awesome album from the band.My advice to anyone wanting to get into The Killers though is to first buy Sawdust (currently £5) which is a collection of the best songs from their first and second albums in remixed form with many other quality B-sides and then purchase Day and Age with an open mind, for everyone else though who knows what they like, get this album and smile like you mean it. :)

5 based on the beta demobam911 | 05/11/2009 | See all bam911's reviews (1)The gameplay is pretty much the same, but there have been a few tweeks that have completely altered the way you play. the use of the "battering ram" (grabbing an enemy and running through a croud) is now a major part of gameplay, which has to be used. simple tapping of the square will not work anymore, you need to use everything you can, especially the cestus. the cestus (new wolf hands weapon) is extremely useful, especially against large enemies, chimera and centaurs. they are no where near as good as the blades against a crowd of enemies, but can knock larger enemies meaning they can not attack. another factor that has largely altered the game is there is now many more enemies, meaning a more epic game, and new tactics that need to be used to be efficient. if there are any worries about God of War being a button masher and repetitive, that is only correct, BUT, and a big but, only on the easiest settings, the settings of the demo. on the much harder difficulties you CANNOT button mash or you will die very quickly. so as the other 2 god of war games this will be a first day purchase from me, and i hope it will be for you too.
5 A Fantastic Game of Very High Standardsmickey6chins | 06/04/2010 | See all mickey6chins's reviews (26)Graphically this is the best quality I have ever seen beating the previous benchmarks of Killzone and Uncharted 2, from the very 1st moment of loading the game (which has no downloading time) it draws you into its story with the opening credits recapping previous GOW story in graphic pictures the sweeping camera at the start of gameplay as it covers the grounds and area you will be exploring as the game progresses all supported by excellent script and sound.Unlike other games it really does vary the enemies that attack always throwing surprises at you never letting you settle in to a pattern, it is a very challenging game I played it through on normal mode so far and have lost count of the amount of times I have died fortunately the auto save points are paced just right and you do not spend a ton of time retreading ground you have already done. Once the main game is completed it opens up challenge modes and a very hard difficulty mode which lets you keeps the weapons and any upgrades you have obtained 1st time round.
4 Well... (Based on E3 Demo)amanbhogal | 12/02/2010 | See all amanbhogal's reviews (6)...the game is stunning, there's no doubt about that. The graphics, the texture, the gameplay, the weapons, the enemies have all been remastered brilliantly......so, what trouble me?The game resembles the previous two FAR TOO MUCH. The gameplay and enemies, although tweeked in some areas, would leave aspirational Kratos lovers yearning for just that extra bit more.Now, i may be wrong in saying this because Sony have kept it in secrecy since its revealing at E3 2009; save for the odd magazine previews and online screenshots, and they may just simply restrict us to play and feel and immerse ourselves in as little as possible, in an attempt to make us drool over it as much as the previous two titles.But this is a gamble, and although will sweep awards in numerous catagories, is beginning to appeal to a narrower target market. It is beginning to attract those who have NEVER PLAYED THE GOD OF WAR SERIES BEFORE. Now, I may be wrong in saying this, again - but, what if I'm not?This game deserves applaud and commemoration for the last in the series, but its strong similarity may make it only appeal to newcomers, thus meaning Sony will not be generating the revenue they deserve, nor the recognition.Just keep that in mind, but remember what I said, I may be wrong...
5 Let the rage of Sparta ride your blades Kratos!mintyiscool | 02/08/2010 | See all mintyiscool's reviews (11)This game is just absolute perfection. I recently just started playing the GOW series starting with the God of War Collection, I was hooked by the amazing and compelling story I HAD to get the third installment! The graphics in this game absolutely prove what High Definition brings to gaming, the textures on the landscapes are perfect, the blood is unimaginably realistic, especially how it drenches Kratos when he gets a "Brutal Kill." The gameplay is also incredible, it feels so smooth and the new weapons and magic additions are just phenomenal! This game is a MUST have! BUT you must play through God of War and God of War II before so you can truly appreciate the story of this amazing series of games.
5 Absolutely Stunningdougatron | 30/05/2010 | See all dougatron's reviews (1)I'm new to the world of HD gaming as my last console before taking a plunge on a PS3 was a Gamecube. Games have moved on. This does not feel like a game but a movie - as the opening credits finshed and I took control of Kratos, my jaw was still on the floor from the astonishing scenes leading into the game. They are stunningly impressive and it takes a few seconds to realise you actually have control of the main character. Once you get to grips with how to move around, you are soon expected to challenge Gods in combat. Although a computer game, they really are as challenging as they should be, and although it does seem as though you move from one set piece to the next, the scale of the game is astonishing. The only other games I've so far played on the PS3 are BFBC2 and CODMW2. GOW 3 is the one I keep coming back to. Gutting a Centaur should not be this much fun.

John Huff/Staff photographer Dylan Balch, 11, gets to hold an American Revolutionary War musket at the Colonel Paul Wentworth House in Rollinsford during a family fun day Sunday.
ROLLINSFORD — Residents of the Seacoast are becoming more familiar with the Colonel Paul Wentworth house. "This is very exciting," said Kim Damtoft, a representative of the circa 1701 house in Rollinsford. "Each successive program we hold brings more new people to the house. Today is a huge success."Today was Sunday, as the Association for Rollinsford Art and Culture (ARCH) held family fun day. Family fun can mean many things to many people, but this day gave residents of the region an opportunity to observe what it was like to be a soldier during the time of the Revolutionary War.Sponsored by the 2nd New Hampshire Regiment, the day was replete with many things connected to the war between the colonists and England.Walking into the completely restored house was a treat. "I didn't think much seeing it from the outside, it just looked like another old colonial," said Donald Watson of Rollinsford, "but when I got inside, I was impressed."Inside, the all-original house was filled with period artifacts, weapons and several members of the Regiment in full regalia. Chris Reishus, Secretary of the Board of Directors, was found in the kitchen, describing the unique history of the building which at one time was moved from Rollinsford to Dover, Mass, only to be returned to its birthplace and eventually to be the "poster house" for the history of the area.
John Huff/Staff photographer Revolutionary War reenactor Matt Payson explains how a musket was used by the 2nd New Hampshire Regiment during the Revolutionary War during a family fun day at the Colonel Paul Wentworth House in Rollinsford Sunday.
John Huff/Staff photographer Revolutionary War reenactor Matt Payson explains standard issue clothing and equipment used by the 2nd New Hampshire Regiment during the Revolutionary War during a family fun day at the Colonel Paul Wentworth House in Rollinsford Sunday.
Dominic Perkins, a fifth-grader at Kittery's Shapleigh School, was a first time visitor, having won a book on the Revolutionary clothing from his teacher, Miss Sheldon. The book, Soldier of the Revolutionary War: a Visual Reference, was written by Denis Hambucken and Bill Payson, both of whom were in attendance in full uniform. Said an awed Dominic, "I really enjoyed your book." Mother Dawn Perkins echoed her son's pleasure. "I didn't know this place was here, we will definitely be back."

Noi the Albino (Noi Albinoi)
Is he the village idiot, or a genius in disguise? Seventeen-year-old, Noi drifts through life in a remote fjord in northern Iceland. In the winter, the fjord is completely cut off from the outside world, encircled by terrifying mountains under a thick layer of snow. Noi dreams of escaping from this white prison, together with Iris, a city girl who works at the local filling station. But Noi's clumsy attempts to escape don't get him anywhere. Maybe only an enormous natural disaster can destroy his world and, in this way, offer him a prospect of a better life.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a procedure to create new connections between two blood vessels in your liver. You may need this procedure if you have severe liver problems.
This is not a surgical procedure. It is done by a radiologist using x-ray . A radiologist is a doctor who uses imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases.
You will be asked to lie on your back. You will be connected to monitors that will check your heart rate and blood pressure.
You will probably receive local anesthesia and medicine to relax you. This will make you pain-free and sleepy. Or, you may have general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free).
Your radiologist will insert a catheter (a flexible tube) through your skin into a vein in your neck.
This new pathway will allow blood to flow better. It will ease pressure on the veins of your stomach, esophagus, intestines, and liver.
Normally, blood coming from your esophagus, stomach, and intestines first flows through the liver. When your liver has a lot of damage and there are blockages, blood cannot flow through it very easily. This is called portal hypertension (increased pressure and backup of the portal vein). The veins can then break open (rupture), causing serious bleeding.
Common causes of portal hypertension are:
When portal hypertension occurs, you may have:
This procedure allows your blood to flow better in your liver, stomach, esophagus, and intestines, and then back to your heart.
Possible risks with this procedure are:
Rare risks are:
Your doctor may ask you to have these tests:
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
On the day of your procedure:
After the procedure, you will recover in your hospital room. You will be monitored for bleeding. You will have to keep your head raised.
There is usually no pain after the procedure.
You will be able to go home when you feel better. This may be the day after the procedure.
Many people get back to their everyday activities in 7 to 10 days.
Your doctor will probably do an ultrasound after the procedure to make sure the stent is working correctly.
You will be asked to have a repeat ultrasound in a few weeks to make sure that the TIPS procedure is working.
Your radiologist can tell you right away how well the procedure worked. Most patients recover well.
TIPS works in about 80% - 90% of portal hypertension cases.
The procedure is much safer than surgery and does not involve any cutting or stitches.

An eye and orbit ultrasound is a test to look at the eye area, and to measure the size and structures of the eye.
Echography - eye orbit; Ultrasound - eye orbit; Ocular ultrasonography; Orbital ultrasonography
The test is usually done in the ophthalmologist's office or the ophthalmology department of a hospital or clinic.
Your eye is numbed with medicine (anesthetic drops). The ultrasound wand (transducer) is placed against the front surface of the eye.
The ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves that travel through the eye. Reflections (echoes) of the sound waves form a picture of the structure of the eye. The test takes about 15 minutes.
There are two types of scans: A-scan and B-scan.
For the A-scan:
For the B-scan:
No special preparation is needed for this test.
Your eye is numbed, so you should not have any discomfort. You may be asked to look in different directions to improve the ultrasound image or so it can view different areas of your eye.
The gel used with the B-scan may run down your cheek, but you will not feel any discomfort or pain.
Your doctor may order this test if you have cataracts or other eye problems.
An A-scan ultrasound measures the eye to determine the right power of a lens implant before cataract surgery .
A B-scan is done to look at the inside part of the eye or the space behind the eye that cannot be seen directly. This may occur when you have cataracts or other conditions that make it hard for the doctor to see into the back of your eye. The test may help diagnose retinal detachment , tumors, or other disorders.
For an A-scan, measurements of the eye are in the normal range.
For a B-scan, the structures of the eye and orbit appear normal.
A B-scan may show:
To avoid scratching the cornea, do not rub the numbed eye until the anesthetic wears off (about 15 minutes). There are no other risks.

Original Blend
Eric Roth
This whole-house remodel included an exterior update with new windows and FSC-certified shingle siding.
A new modern metal staircase contrasts with the original ornate stairs.
The original dark wood staircase adds drama to the entry.
The mudroom is adjacent to the primary family entry and connects to the garage and guest suite.
The kitchen island has a zinc countertop and walnut eating bar. The cabinetry, a mix of oak and walnut, has low-VOC finishes.
Reclaimed timber provides a rustic touch to the master bedroom ceiling.
The third-floor office has an eyebrow window, exposed steel beams, and a custom floating glass desk.
The new family and breakfast area lead to a covered porch and a patio with a fireplace.
Use green practices and principles to renovate an 1888 house and reduce energy consumption; use additions to improve the circulation of the rooms on all three floors
Balancing the traditional detailing of the original house with the clients' modern style, LDa Architecture & Interiors added more than 2,600 square feet to this family's home.
The homeowners were concerned about the healthiness of their building, so the team brought modern technology to bear on upgrading the home's air quality and comfort with a high-performance exterior envelope; efficient condensing gas boiler; LED-compatible light fixtures; shading devices; cellulose and low-density spray foam insulation; dual-flush toilets; and FSC-certified siding, decking, and framing materials. All this helped the home earn LEED silver certification.
The judges liked the thoughtful, sophisticated design of this renovation, especially the mudroom near the family entry to the house. —Nina Patel, senior editor, REMODELING.

metroblues® Jean Jacket: The stretch jean jacket is the ultimate layering essential. It adds just the right amount of casual attitude to tanks, tees - even dresses!
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 4.88 out of 8 votes cast
Great jacket!
Great jacket! Light weight, great color choices. I am going to buy it in two other colors! My only wish is that the sleeves were just a bit longer on the tall, but I am used to dealing with length issues so no worries!
Worthington, OH
The jacket fits perfect as always. I have every color you have to offer in these outfits. I love them. However, I may have to return this jacket because your pants are getting smaller. I am still wearing one of these suits I ordered several years ago in size 12 that still fits perfect, by the latest set I order I ordered a 16 and they are too small.
Orange, California
Love these outfits
I love these outfits. I have both jeans and jackets for every color Metrostyle has come out with. I have given your catalog to everyone that comments on my outfit. I am waiting for another color to order more. Thank you.
Eva Anthony
The Best !!!
These are the best jackets! I own lot's of jean jackets, none of them like these. They fit perfect, they feel good & very comfortable, & all the different colors are fun to mix & match with so many things. I own altogether about 12 in different colors. The black I ordered 2 & the blue lagoon I ordered 2. I didn't know if I would like the color of the blue lagoon, but ordered it just to see, & I loved it, so I bought the second one. That's my very favorite one. These jackets can't be beat! :)
San Jose, Ca
Great fit
This is a great jacket. I ordered it in a size tall as I am 5'10" and need longer sleeves and longer torso. I found it to be true to size. I layered it over a black jersey dress and got lots of compliments on it. I got it in blue for versatility. Happy with my purchase.
Nashville, Tn
Perfect Jacket
I have 5 of these jackets in different colors, I absolutely LOVE them! I will order more & hope for more colors to be offered also. I love the slight stretch & great durability. Thank you for the excellent quality!
Ladysmith, WI
Happy Customer
I agree with the 1st reviewer. This jacket is a perfect fit. I have the blue jean color and I recently ordered the white for the summer. The blue jean color reminds me of my good old high school days. Thanks Metrostyle.
Baton Rouge, LA
Perfect Fit
Both the jacket and jeans fit perfectly. The fabric is soft,the color vibrant and very flattering. Like the model, wear the jacket with sleeves rolled up, or cuffs turned back. Looks more "with it" than just long sleeves. Silvertone buttons are not shiny, making the look more elegant. I am very happy with this purchase.

I am just another java developer and computer scientist here.
I am a PhD student and I am working with cloud services and distributed computing in São Paulo, Brazil.
It is better to just say nothing about me and my thoughts, I always end up screwing up myself when I do, no matter where or when. In real-life, wikipedia, stack exchange network, yahoo answers, internet forums and mail lists, always for many years. I have a tendency to be a very unpopular person and I always do the wrong thing in the wrong time in the worst way possible. At least, stack exchange is the first place that I had an opportunity to get a badge from this: Peer pressure.
If you are spending some time reading my profile, it is very likely that you came here motivated by something bad I did and want to know exactly who the hell I am before you start to expose all the disregard of my conduct that you have. Be sure that you are not the first, nor the second, nor the third, and probably not the last.
My questions have a strong tendency to get closed or even deleted. My questions and answers are sometimes heavily downvoted. Even my best questions and answers get some unexplicable downvotes and even close votes out of nowhere for no reason.
BTW, I know that Santa Claus does not exists. The Easter Bunny does not either. And Elvis is not alive.

A premature infant is a baby born before 37 completed weeks of gestation (more than 3 weeks before the "due date").
Preterm infant; Preemie; Premie
At birth, a baby is classified as one of the following:
If a woman goes into labor before 37 weeks, it is called preterm labor.
"Late preterm" babies who are born between 35 and 37 weeks gestation may not look premature. They may not be admitted to an intensive care unit, but they are still at risk for more problems than full-term babies.
Health conditions in the mother, such as diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease, may contribute to preterm labor. Often, the cause of preterm labor is unknown. About 15% of all premature births are multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.).
Different pregnancy-related problems increase the risk of preterm labor or early delivery:
Other factors that increase the risk for preterm labor and a premature delivery include:
The infant may have trouble breathing and keeping a constant body temperature.
A premature infant may have signs of the following problems:
A premature infant will have a lower birth weight than a full-term infant. Common signs of prematurity include:
Common tests performed on a premature infant include:
When premature labor develops and cannot be stopped, the health care team will prepare for a high-risk birth. The mother may be moved to a center that is set up to care for premature infants in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
After birth, the baby is admitted to a high-risk nursery. The infant is placed under a warmer or in a clear, heated box called an incubator, which controls the air temperature. Monitoring machines track the baby's breathing, heart rate, and level of oxygen in the blood.
A premature infant's organs are not fully developed. The infant needs special care in a nursery until the organs have developed enough to keep the baby alive without medical support. This may take weeks to months.
Infants usually cannot coordinate sucking and swallowing before 34 weeks gestation. A premature baby may have a small, soft feeding tube placed through the nose or mouth into the stomach. In very premature or sick infants, nutrition may be given through a vein until the baby is stable enough to receive all nutrition through the stomach. (See: Neonatal weight gain and nutrition )
If the infant has breathing problems:
Infants need special nursery care until they are able to breathe without extra support, eat by mouth, and maintain body temperature and body weight. Very small infants may have other problems that complicate treatment and require a longer hospital stay.
There are multiple support groups for parents of premature babies. Ask the social worker in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Prematurity used to be a major cause of infant deaths. Improved medical and nursing techniques have increased the survival of premature infants. The longer the pregnancy, the greater the chance of the baby's survival. At least 90% of babies who are born at 28 weeks survive.
Prematurity can have long-term effects. Many premature infants have medical, developmental, or behavioral problems that continue into childhood or are permanent. The more premature an infant and the smaller the birth weight, the greater the risk of complications. However, it is impossible to predict a baby's long-term outcome based on gestational age or birth weight.
Possible long-term complications include:
The best ways to prevent prematurity are to:
Getting early and good prenatal care reduces the chance of premature birth.
Premature labor can sometimes be treated or delayed by a medication that blocks uterine contractions. Many times, however, attempts to delay premature labor are not successful.
Betamethasone (a steroid medication) given to mothers in premature labor can make some prematurity complications less severe.

Ok I have PSE 9, and I am usually pretty savvy with it as I have been using it for quite a while now.
Here is the problem.
When I go to my actions (which I do have quite a few prob around 30 or 40) I see that there are like three or four of EACH action. I have gone into my actions folder and double checked that there is only ONE Of each action in there, and there is so thats not it. Then I deleted and rebuilt both my thumbnail and metadata things and that hasnt fixed it.
I am aware that I could just delete them directly from PSE it says "delete content" BUT I am wondering if it will delete the action all together since there is only ONE in the actions folder.....
Anyone that has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!!!!

A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are in an area of your bone.
This test helps your health care provider detect osteoporosis and predict your risk of bone fractures.
BMD test; Bone density test; Bone densitometry; DEXA scan; DXA; Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry; p-DEXA; Osteoporosis-BMD
Bone density testing can be done several different ways.
The most common and accurate way uses a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. DEXA uses low-dose x-rays . (You receive more radiation with a chest x-ray.)
There are two types of DEXA scans:
If you are or could be pregnant, tell your health care provider before this test is done.
The scan is painless. You need to remain still during the test.
Bone mineral density (BMD) tests are used to:
You should have bone mineral testing or screening if you have an increased risk of osteoporosis. You are more likely to get osteoporosis if you are:
Women under age 65 and men ages 50 to 70 are at increased risk of osteoporosis if they have:
Current practice recommends BMD retesting every 2 years. However, recent research suggests that some women may be able to wait a much longer time between their screening tests. Discuss with your doctor how often you should be tested.
The results of your test are usually reported as a T-score and Z-score:
With either score, a negative number means you have thinner bones than average. The more negative the number, the higher your risk of a bone fracture.
A T-score is within the normal range if it is -1.0 or above.
Bone mineral density testing does not diagnose fractures. Along with other risk factors you may have, it helps predict your risk of having a bone fracture in the future. Your doctor will help you understand the results.
If your T-score is:
Treatment recommendation depends on your total fracture risk. This risk can be calculated using the FRAX score. Your health care provider can tell you more about this. You can also find information about FRAX online.
Bone mineral density uses a slight amount of radiation. Most doctors feel that the risk is very low compared with the benefits of finding osteoporosis before you break a bone.

Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon Torpedo Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 8 of 8 reviews
I've tried these cigars 4 or 5 times, because I thought the flavor, or what I could taste of it, was good. But everyone I bought the draw were so bad I could get almost no smoke.
jack in san antonio July 19, 2010
"Mediocre smoke....."
Liked the size. Disliked veiny wrapper, draw , brittle cap and hard, rock-like feel to this cigar. This cigar had been in my humidor for 7 weeks and was STILL DRY and Brittle. Above all, this smoke was so tasteless I almost forgot why I was smoking it . It was MILD though...
Steven in Sunrise, Fl. July 1, 2009
"Cameroon Champion"
I don't think there's a cameroon-wrapped cigar I haven't tried. I've been looking for a replacement for the Perdomo La Tradicion Cameroon Reserve--my favorite, now discontinued. I found it in this cigar: it has all the hallmarks of a great cameroon-wrapped smoke--wonderful baking spices aroma, subtle spice--with enough oomph in the filler to keep it rich & interesting, but never overpowering. And the price is just killer. If you like cameroon, try this cigar--one of the best in the Torano stable.
Sean in Charleston, WV March 21, 2009
"Absolute Pleasure"
I let this rest in my humidor for about a month before smoking it. I can't say enough about this cigar, presentation is beautiful, the flavor is unmatched, burn is even and develops a long clingy ash, definitely will keep this one in the humidor
David in Denver, Co April 20, 2008
"Very Good but needs Strenght"
Well made,great wrapper,a little weak for me,expected more Cameroon taste also,overall good. If the company brings up the strenght to full trottle no cigar will beat it,no cigar.
Andrew in Bklyn,NY March 5, 2007
"All-day smoke, but needs some humidor time"
Quite a fistful. Definitely set aside at least 2 hours for this smoke.
The good: long burn. Very good albeit tight construction. including nice ash. Draw was a bit tight.
The bad: Seems a bit green/harsh for a Cameroon. I often smoke darks/maduros, and also various Cameroons, and this was pretty strong for the latter, and even the former. If you're expecting a Partagas, A. Fuentes, or CAO type Cameroon, think again. Hopefully, a couple months of humidor time will mellow them a bit.
Doc Arnold in Reno. NV September 21, 2004
"What a steal!"
This torpedo will stand up to the best of them. Super smooth draw, good medium strength, even burn, lasts about 1:30-1:45. Smoked it to the nub. This cigar will be a hard one to find once people experience it. I always buy my smokes at Famous, however Payless Cigars are pricing these at around 76.00 for a box of 25. Famous isn't even close to that price. I e-mailed them with no response. I'll put this cigar up against the cubans any day. ENJOY!
Jimmy G. in St. Louis June 27, 2004
"Very good flavorful smoke"
I found this cigar to have a easy draw, ash was silver gray and tight. 1st third had a lot of flavor, mellowed slightly, smooth finish.
Ike Brown in Deadwood, Dakota Ter. January 28, 2004
