Grief is in your workplace, whether the result of death, divorce, illness, or other traumatic or life changing event. Your support can make a critical difference in the ability of your employee and his peers to deal with grief and maintain both a humanistic and productive environment.
For more information or to schedule a workshop on "Grief in the Workplace" at your place of employment, call our bereavement staff at 317-621-4800.
Grief is the normal and expected response to a loss. It affects individuals differently, usually depending on whether the loss was expected, the relationship of the bereaved to the loss, and how the bereaved has handled previous losses. A response may seem out of proportion to a current loss, but may have triggered unresolved prior grief, compounding the reaction.
Grief can affect the emotional, spiritual, and physical health of the bereaved, and those responses may carry into the workplace as absenteeism, tardiness, lack of energy, inability to concentrate, inability to get along, alcohol or drug abuse and many other manifestations, up to and including suicide.
People are not generally prepared for the overwhelming feeling which may accompany grief, and often experience unanticipated crying and other atypical and seemingly impulsive or uncontrolled behavior.
These expressions of grief in a bereaved employee may cause uncertainty and distraction in other employees, resulting in a loss of productivity and stress throughout the workplace. Grief does not follow a linear pattern, and is not like a cold, which resolves in seven days, whether you ignore it or treat it. Although resolution often takes longer than society "expects," supported grief usually resolves more quickly and, when supported in the workplace, aids productivity and increases morale in all workers.
Through immediate recognition of the loss
Through accommodations
Through modeling
By expecting erratic behavior and planning for it
By recognizing potential triggers and avoiding, if possible
By helping with the paperwork and resources
Always listen, listen, listen. It is the single most important support you can provide.
Resources are available to support you and your employees throughout the community, through workshops, private counselors, and church outreach programs. Community Home Health provides grief support groups facilitated by professional staff to any bereaved individual throughout our community without charge. In addition, partnership with Community Health Network Health Promotions offers contractual employee assistance programs, including bereavement support and bereavement planning to the community.
Noncontractual bereavement services are not reimbursed through any public or private program. Donations in recognition of these no-charge services are gratefully accepted to support and extend this program throughout our community.

LOCKPORT – A Cheektowaga man was arraigned Tuesday in Niagara County Court on a seven-count indictment accusing him of beating his 2-year-old daughter in Niagara Falls Jan. 21.
Bradley P. Zadul, 33, of Wagner Street, was ordered held in lieu of $75,000 bail set by County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III. A tentative trial date was set for Aug. 12.
Assistant District Attorney Heather A. DeCastro said Zadul also is awaiting trial in Murphy's integrated domestic violence court on a charge of kicking the girl's mother in the abdomen while she was pregnant with another girl, who is now seven months old. The woman had a restraining order against Zadul.
DeCastro also accused Zadul of trying to prevent the woman from testifying against him through a series of harassing text messages. Murphy said, "It looks to me an awful lot like witness intimidation and witness manipulation."
Zadul served 3 1/2 years in prison for a 2006 Erie County burglary, including a parole violation. DeCastro accused him of stealing guns from a law enforcement officer in that burglary and said they are allegedly stashed in the home of another woman with whom Zadul had a child. Assistant Public Defender Ryan Hanna invoked Zadul's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in regard to that issue.

California Gov. Jerry Brown has vowed to take the federal government to court in order to break its hold on California's prison system. According to the Sacramento Bee, the governor has condemned the fed's "heavy hand" in the state's prisons as not only "intrusive" but "nit-picky" as well.
Further, without federal sanction, a defiant Brown has also lifted a "state of emergency" imposed in 2006 by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. That situation had been brought on by severe overcrowding throughout the state's 33 prisons. Thousands of prisoners were granted "early release" at that time to relieve the pressure and staunch a possible state-wide prison rebellion.
"The prison emergency is over in California," Brown said.
Brown's rather bombastic appeal came after California filed papers in federal court Monday seeking to force the feds to withdraw its requirement that California make even further reductions in prison inmate populations. The documents also seek an end to federal oversight of mental health care in state prisons.
The court had earlier requested documentation as to exactly how California would meet its mandate to further reduce its prison population.
One of the obvious "options" to relieve overcrowding, of course, is continued early release of nonviolent, low-level, and/or first time offenders. Brown's office disagreed and argued that releasing even more prisoners than the state already has would seriously endanger the public and that the options submitted by the state were done "under protest."
It was just last year that the US Supreme Court ordered the Brown administration to reduce California's prison population by moving many newly convicted, low-level offenders from state prisons to county control – which might or might not include incarceration. Brown said the state's inmate population has dropped by more than 43,000 since 2006, to less than 150 percent of capacity. The court' s order calls for a reduction to 137.5 percent of capacity.
In fact, Brown said that California prisoners never had it so good, and actually live better than most of them could on the outside, and certainly better than prisoners in other states. He cited better health care and less crowding as examples of California's largesse. The California prison system is now "one of the finest prison systems in the United States," Brown said. "(T)he job is now complete. We've got it. Enough already."
As Brown spoke, one could almost, but not quite, see the smoke curling upwards from under his collar:
"We can run our own prisons, and by God let those judges give us our prisons back," Brown fumed. "We'll run them right."
Brown said he will fight in court "as long as it takes."
A reporter asked the governor why he expected to prevail in court this time as opposed to the recent failures. Brown responded that the court may look favorably on his appointment last month of a former Pennsylvania prison chief to lead California's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Indeed, Jeffrey Beard was on the 2007 federal panel which reviewed California's prison and parole systems.
"I've taken their own expert, and I've made him head of corrections," Brown said. "What more do you want?"
Further federal control of California prisons would be a waste of time and money, Brown contends, money California does not have.
"We can't pour more and more dollars down the rat hole of incarceration," he said.

The weather is nice and mild in Philadelphia but things got pretty rowdy inside the weather room at local news station Fox 29's Good Day Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Mark Wahlberg and his Broken City director, Allen Hughes, took over the forecasting duties for weather anchor Sue Serio. (Watch his full report below.)
"This is perfect golf weather ... by the way," Wahlberg noted of a high of 54 degrees in the City of Brotherly Love.
Once the seven-day forecast was done, Wahlberg and Hughes lightened traffic reporter Kacie McDonnell's load and let Philadelphians know where they would find trouble on their morning commute.
"Look at this congestion here," Wahlberg said. "We're expecting 40- to 45-minute delays if you're coming east bound on the 676 here. You're going to have some serious problems. Why don't you stop and get yourself a hoagie?"
Broken City, which also stars Russell Crowe, opens Jan. 18.

The emotional highlight of the evening came when Gregor Jordan – who became good friends with Ledger after directing him in 1999's Two Hands – announced the formation of a Heath Ledger scholarship fund to help struggling Australian actors.
Long before the success of Brokeback Mountain, the director recalled, Ledger was just "your old, broke Aussie actor." Once, things got so bad, in fact, Jordan said he had to loan his friend a few hundred bucks.
"The first thing he does with the money is go into a bar and buy everyone ... a round of drinks," remembered Jordan, who also worked with Ledger on Ned Kelly. "It is that generosity that somehow sums Heath up. When he had nothing, he still found a way to give to others."
A Generous HeartWhile details of the scholarship are still "a little sketchy," Jordan admitted, the plan is to select one young Australian actor each year and give him or her the chance to "crack it" in Hollywood. (The first scholarship is due to be awarded in 2009.)
"It's going to involve a number of benefactors and there's been a lot of interest already," the director explained. His voice cracking with emotion, he added: "I was talking to Michelle Williams, his partner and the mother of his child, today and Michelle has said she would be very proud and happy to be the first benefactor."
At that pronouncement, the crowd erupted in loud applause.
Although Ledger's father, Kim, could not attend, he did ask for a letter to be read aloud. "We know that Heath would be proud of his attachment to this scholarship," wrote the surviving Ledger. "[It] does what Heath has done personally during the last 10 years ..., [supporting] Australian actors, singers, directors or writers who seek to supply their talents to the U.S.A."
One of the night's honorees, Abbie Cornish, also paid tribute to Ledger, her costar in 2006's Candy. "Heath's a magical guy," she told PEOPLE. "Really incredible in every way – as a human being and as an artist."

Does an undefeated streak really define someone's career?
Is it sad that the Undertaker is known more for the way he performs in one event, than the way he has performed for the last two decades?
The Undertaker, whether you choose to suspend disbelief and pretend wrestling is real or know that it's scripted, doesn't want to lose.
It's what his legacy is.
If Joe Montana could have played in 12 more Super Bowls, the story would have become about his streak of Super Bowls without an interception, forgetting for a second that he was able to get there at all.
Sure, WWE is scripted entertainment, but that doesn't make getting to WrestleMania any less of an honor. It's the show saved for the best and the brightest, and the most relevant men and women in the field.
The streak isn't about winning. It's about the fact that for the last 19 WrestleManias he's mattered. He's been the top guy or one of the top guys.
But he has to spend all year working to that point. He's done it.
Regardless of the outcome, Undertaker's streak will still be in tact.
It just depends on how you look at it.

The national snack of Indonesia. Small Southeast Asian kebabs grilled on bamboo skewers or sticks and often served with peanut sauce, tamarind sauce, or a mixture of sweet soy sauce and chili sauce. The sate originated in Indonesia (the term also means "to stab" or "skewer"). There are almost as many types of sate as there are islands in Indonesia. Satay is the Malaysian/ Singaporean spelling.

I woke up on January 2 and saw that our representative, Tom McClintock, voted against the deal that averted the so-called "fiscal cliff." If this legislation would not have passed, taxes on all Americans would have gone up and most economists say that no action would have resulted in a major setback for the economy.
I am sure that Mr. McClintock would argue that the bill didn't have any spending cuts. Then I looked up last years vote on the Budget Control Act that cut spending by $917 billion over 10 years and saw that Mr. McClintock was one of only 22 Republicans to vote against this bill. No doubt he would argue that he didn't want to raise the debt ceiling, even if this means defaulting on our loans.
It has become clear to me that Mr. McClintock is against any funding bill that would keep the US government running to pursue a goal of smaller government. He is free to make that argument, but I would argue that these votes were irresponsible.
Proponents of smaller government should work toward an efficient government, but it appears that Mr. McClintock would just as well see the US government and economy fail.

"Can a console from Region X play games from Region Y?"
"Is a Japanese Xbox 360 region free?"
Etc.. etc..
Here's some things you should know:
Every console is set to a certain region meaning that, like a DVD player, they will read whatever titles they can.
Every game, similar to DVDs, is either coded to a certain region or contain NO region coding whatsoever.
This means a console can play games coded to their region AND any games that have NO region code.
The deciding factor is the game. Some North America region (NTSC, sometimes called NTSC-U/C) games are region free and are thus playable on any console in the world. The use of region coding is up to the publisher.
Of the available U.S. titles for the original Xbox, about 150 or so games are region free, to my knowledge This means that if bought retail in the U.S. they will play on a stock Japanese Xbox (this is not a 100% accurate assessment of the world over as I've never tested PAL region games on a Japanese Xbox nor vice versa).
This trend may or may not carry over to the Xbox 360. Call of Duty 2 for the X360 appears to be region free and playable on a Japan region console, but this is not so surprising as both COD: Finest Hour and COD: Big Red One (original Xbox titles) are also region free.
However, if choosing to import, video standard and power issues also need to be addressed when bringing certain consoles into the equation. For example, Australia running on 220/240 volts and uses a PAL signal, while the U.S./Canada runs on about 120 volts and uses an NTSC signal..
We will assume that those considering importing a console that outputs a signal different to the common standard of their region to be intelligent enough to already know, and be able to, address these issues.
Here is a good guide for which games work where: http://www.play-asia...uide-49-en.html
Note: This is just a basic note to address these FAQs. Please PM me with info or clarifications. Thank you.

Railroads starting to get the attention they deserve in area
January 6, 2013
The value of rails tends to get lost in the shuffle of transportation priorities locally. But that appears to be changing....
PaulWatkins There is no such thing as high speed rail(+150mph) in North America, You need to go to France-TVG or to Japan and now China to see what High speed rail is all about.
As for the Keystone line yes ridership is up, but it is still running at a lose.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The Northeast Corridor is Amtrak's busiest line and has been steadily increasing over the last few years. As high speed rail further develops it would be benificial for Williamsport to join the Keystone line (Harrisburg-Philly-NYC) whose ridership has grown 4.8% last year to just under 1.5m riders. A cheap and reliable (no flight cancellations) transport to Philadelphia can help boost Williamsport's rapidly expanding economy.

And how many billions in tax payer money will that cost. Yet this newspaper is against funding public education fully

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - In 1984 a television ad featured an elderly lady peeking over the top of a fast food restaurant counter and after inspecting her burger asked "where's the beef?" The Wendy's commercial that featured the diminutive Clara Peller became an instant success relating to what many thought of the small meat portion in the McDonald's hamburger.
If Clara were alive today and visited our town, she would certainly say "where's the village?" Indeed where is the village? A recent out-of-town guest accompanied me to the post office and when saw the sign "Village Center," inquired if this was the Incline Village downtown. For this strip mall which looks like it belongs in South Central LA to be considered our town center is embarrassing.
How do you answer the question - perhaps the Raleys center or the Starbucks store? This is in a community that has spent millions of dollars on the new Chateau, new ski buildings, tennis courts, some place called Incline Lake, and is now potentially considering a new clubhouse for the Mountain course.
Together with new schools, a fire house with a heated driveway, curbs, gutters and sidewalks, one can see we're moving ahead.
Whatever your opinion of the above expenditures, and I've heard many, here we are looking at a community fixed around the fringe, but lacking a central area that will allow us to compete in the 21st century for future residents and visitors. To put it in medical terms, we have repaired the appendices but forgot the heart.
This town was originally subdivided as if it was the suburb of a large city. All residential with two golf courses, space for schools, maintenance, fire and strip malls for local shopping. Fortunately, the location with Lake Tahoe provided wonderful water access, waterfront living for some, and beautiful view sites. Together with favorable Nevada tax advantages, the town has overcome the poor zoning. Those who thought we were insulated from real estate price fluctuations have had a rude awaking the past three years. With added communities in the area and existing lake communities upgrading their facilities, competition in the future will be challenging.
A number of sites have been suggested, including the old elementary school, land by the library, the tract along Highway 28 and several undeveloped parcels. Interesting options, but each lack size and/or location. The town center needs to be a destination, offering a combination of commercial and residential, a location with restaurants, shops, entertainment and living units that appeals to all ages.
One option would be the area between Village and Country Club from the beach to Incline Way. This would include Lakeshore Drive - which would be removed - the village green and undeveloped land inside. The Hyatt would anchor the east end, and a new boutique hotel on the west end. Connecting the hotels would be a waterfront promenade with shops and restaurants that take advantage of the lakefront setting. Behind the lake front area, further development of commercial and residential offerings which could include a high end grocery store, entertainment venues and even an ice skating area. Beach access could be controlled if deemed necessary.
This is just one idea and there are more. Height limits and environmental issues all revolving around TRPA would have to be addressed. Coverage could be traded with the golf courses. Nothing simple, but the end result would pay big dividends.
So how does all this happen? The components of a town center are not unique. Towns in the US and Europe with similar geography provide excellent examples. The advantage we have is that we can pick the best features since we're starting from scratch. There is an active, enthusiastic and talented group of locals willing to get the ball rolling.
However, the stakes are too high, the risks inherent, without the expertise of professional planning and development firms. In order to facilitate their involvement I propose an international competition to develop a town center for Incline Village. A $1 million prize would be for the winning design. The one million to be raised by the community from cookie sales from our elementary school children, local fundraising events, businesses and from our more able contributors on Lakeshore. The idea is that the whole community comes together and shares in the future of our town.
Issues remain in our community. Governance needs to be addressed. Quality of education, mobility and quality of life are all important. But nothing will impact Incline's future more than its town center. A critical IVGID election is coming. Which of the candidates prefer the status quo, or do they have a vision for the future? A new general manager will be hired next year. It will require someone with vision, not someone looking for a last job before retirement.
Let's not let the Clara Pellers of the world ask "where's the village?" Working together we can make this dream a reality. It will not be easy but the future generations will thank us for enhancing our paradise.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - To Scott Terry, singer/guitarist/songwriter of Red Wanting Blue, The Beatles provide the perfect blueprint for how to progress musically as a band.
"From the days of 'Hard Day's Night' and the evolution of their music from record to record, it's like they continued to progress. They continued to move," Terry said. "But it was always just enough that you still swallowed it easy. It was never medicine that had to be taken. It was always what you wanted next. That, to me, is the mark of a successful musical record."
Terry won't call Red Wanting Blue another Beatles, but the idea of not getting ahead of the band's audience may have been more important than ever with the band's current CD, "From The Vanishing Point."
That's because a decade and a half after forming the group and self-releasing seven CDs, for the new album, Red Wanting Blue signed with a label, Fanatic Records. The label involvement invited worries from fans that the group would alter its sound in an effort to reach a wider audience.
While Terry says "From The Vanishing Point" shows some subtle musical growth, he was also determined to stay true to the sound Red Wanting Blue had established up to this point.
"There are very definite similarities between 'These Magnificent Miles' and 'From The Vanishing Point,'" he said, also mentioning the previous Red Wanting Blue CD. "It's not like it's all different now and the band's identity has changed as a result of signing with this label."
While the group has built a loyal, if not large, following - especially in the Midwest - plenty of musicians in Terry's position would have thrown in the towel on the band and a career in music a long time ago.
In fact, the three musicians who joined Terry when the group was formed in fall 1995 in Athens, Ohio, have long since left the fold, as have five other musicians who have been in the group over the years.
The departures are understandable considering the group has generally only seen incremental gains in its popularity with each CD and is far from a household name on the music scene.
Still, the signing to Fanatic Records (with distribution through EMI) did give Terry and his current bandmates - bassist Mark McCullough, guitarist/keyboardist Greg Rahm, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Eric Hall and drummer Dean Anshutz - enough of a bigger budget to consider hiring a bigger-name producer or step up to a nicer studio. Instead the group stuck with the producer of "These Magnificent Miles," Jamie Candiloro, and chose to equip its warehouse rehearsal space to record "From The Vanishing Point" there.
American rock and roll describes much of the music on "From The Vanishing Point." as the group turns out an unpretentious set of heartland rockers and ballads. The band hits a high point right off the bat with "Stay On The Bright Side," a full-bodied mid-tempo rocker with a striking melody. Nothing else on "From The Vanishing Point" quite equals that opening track, but there are plenty of other worthy tunes, including the mid-tempo anthem "Audition," the melancholy "Love Remains," the country-flecked "Cocaine" and "White Snow," a rocker that is just a bit friskier than most of the other songs on the CD.

"A guy receives a traffic ticket from the police department in the mail. It includes a picture of him at the wheel of his car as he ran a red light, his license plate, and an invoice demanding $250 or else. Sooo… our guy spreads out $250 on his kitchen table. Takes a picture of it … and sends the picture of $250 to the police department." —Anonymous
In some Chicago neighborhoods, surveillance cameras sit high above almost every intersection. These are very sophisticated pieces of equipment, capable of zooming in close enough to identify what flavor of soft or not-so-soft drink a driver or pedestrian is drinking. Some can even read newsprint from 50 yards away. They also listen in on conversations on the street, inside your car, on your porch or stoop. They turn quickly in the direction of the sound of gunfire, zoom in, film and photograph the trigger man/woman.
The cameras were initially set up a few years ago to only monitor traffic at busy or problematic intersections. As you can see, that idea has quickly escalated into a real Big Brother operation.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the US Supreme Court has rejected an Illinois prosecutor's appeal to allow enforcement of a law which would stop ordinary citizens from recording police officers as they do their jobs. A lower federal court had found that Illinois' anti-eavesdropping law violates free speech rights because it was being used by police and prosecutors against people who tape law enforcement officers. The law had some serious teeth. It carried a 15-year prison term.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) had filed suit in 2010 against Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez to halt prosecution of ACLU staffers for recording cops in public spaces. This activity (filming of police) is done by the ACLU all over the country, usually with the full knowledge of the police departments and the individual cops being filmed. And so, when Illinois (read: Chicago) cops objected and got a law passed outlawing the filming of them, needless to say the ACLU was rather taken aback.
Upon learning of the ruling, though, Harvey Grossman, legal director of the Illinois ACLU, was "pleased" with the result. "The ACLU of Illinois continues to believe that in order to make the rights of free expression and petition effective, individuals and organizations must be able to freely gather and record information about the conduct of government and their agents—especially the police," he said. "The advent and widespread accessibility of new technologies make the recording and dissemination of pictures and sound inexpensive, efficient and easy to accomplish."
And so, it comes down to a question of fairness, doesn't it? As noted above, the police can now get all up in your business without a warrant, without a request, without your consent, and even without your knowledge. Thus, it seems only fair that you ought to be able to film and photograph them even as they film and photograph you. This could make for interesting courtroom dramas—dueling videotapes, with Judge Judy as the final arbiter of which film gets produced and shown on Court TV.

Germany has one of the most developed renewable energy industries in the world and its government has set high goals for energy production from renewables. Currently, 25 percent of the country's energy needs are met through a combination of wind, solar, hydroelectric and biomass.
In the aftermath of the 2011 Fukushima Nuclear Disaster in Japan, the German government announced its intention to shut down all of its existing nuclear plants—which accounted for 20 percent of its electricity—and replace them with renewable energy. This declaration followed the 2010 announcement of several ambitious renewable energy goals until the year 2050 including increasing the percentage of renewable electricity to 35 percent by 2020, 50 percent by 2030, 65 percent by 2040 and 80 percent by 2050. Germany's commitment to renewable energy development and its creation of long-term energy strategy focused on clean energy make it a world leader on the subject.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, 5 October 2009 Less than a week ago, the children of Padang, in Indonesia's West Sumatra province, were standing amidst the devastation of an earthquake that had destroyed buildings, caused massive landslides, blocked roads and shattered the water supply. They talked to aid workers of their fears: that more shocks would hit the town, that their homes if still standing would fall, that their lives would forever be changed for the worse. Today, they walk to school by the thousands. In three of Padang's schools, UNICEF has already delivered temporary classrooms in the form of school tents. For UNICEF Education Officer Amson Simbolon, the crowds of young people back in their schools, even if under canvas, are a reminder of the importance of quickly re-establishing routine for those affected by sudden emergencies. "These children are seeking reassurances, looking for comfort in the normal daily activities that they enjoyed before last week's quake," he said. "Bringing in school tents, and school equipment, is not just about re-starting education. It's about providing a new focus for these children, one which is not only on the destruction and loss that surrounds them." UNICEF is bringing 250 school tents into West Sumatra, along with School-in-a-Box kits, each providing basic classroom materials for about 80 students. In addition, 60 recreation kits are being delivered to help provide therapeutic play activities for those worst affected by the quake. To read the full story, visit www.unicef.org

Rescuers in Indonesia's West Java are battling to reach dozens of people believed to have been buried alive by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake. Nearly 50 people have been killed and about 5000 forced into shelter homes. Tremors from the epicentre off the coast of West Java were also felt hundreds of kilometres away in Jakarta, the capital. Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports from the town of Pangalengan, one of the worst-hit areas.
Communications in some areas had completely stopped and as officer reported to the Office Disaster the death toll may rise because it is difficult to obtain information from remote areas. The focus of the quake was detected at 200 kilometers south of Jakarta and 63 km in depth. Houses in villages near the epicenter of the quake leveled. From the Department of Health announced that crews were sent to doctors in Tasikmalagia, near the epicenter of the quake in West Java. The Disaster Management Agency of Indonesia announced that 5000 people were forced to flee their homes. Initially the United States Geological Survey said the quake was magnitude 7.4 on the Richter scale, but then revised downward its assessment by referring to Richter 7. The Indonesian seismological agency spoke of 7.3 Richter. Originally issued tsunami warning in the Indian Ocean, which was subsequently lifted. Representative Office of the earthquake in Indonesia said, however, that changes in sea level, indicating that there was a small tsunami. The quake was felt up to Jakarta, where office buildings and shopping malls were evacuated.

A powerful earthquake rattled Indonesia's main island of Java on Wednesday, shaking buildings in the capital Jakarta. Hundreds of residents evacuated from their high rise office buildings after feeling the tremors. Jakarta residents spoke of their experience. "I was in the training room when I felt everything swinging, then we rushed out of the office." "The air conditioner in my room went off-- I was on the 20th floor." There were reports of damage in Tasikmalaya near the epicentre of the quake in West Java and in a nearby city Bandung. Local tsunami warnings were issued for coastal areas within several hundred kilometers of the quake's epicentre soon after it struck, but were withdrawn shortly after. Indonesia's seismology agency put the magnitude at 7.3. Officials say there have been no disruptions to power supplies, and refineries in the area have not been affected.

Turf grass remains the most popular landscaping material. There are a wide variety of lawn grasses available from water efficient buffalo grass to the every popular Kentucky bluegrass. Many experts now recommend planting grasses native to your specific region. Seeds and sod for native grasses may be more difficult to locate, but the results can be beautiful, unusual, and much more water efficient. It is best to use native grass seed from stock that originated from no more than 300 miles of your location, preferably from within 100 miles. This is not always possible. Check with a horticulture expert in your region to determine the most appropriate grass for your lawn.
Minimize Turf Areas
To maximize water efficiency, minimize the lawn areas in your landscape plan. In particular beware of narrow strips of grass near sidewalks or fences – these strips are often darn near impossible to irrigate efficiently. Proper ground and soil preparation will improve efficiency and greatly enhance your landscape. Soil preparation probably the most important and most ignored element of landscaping.
Turf Installation For New Landscapes
Soil Preparation
Prepare the ground with these goals in mind:
You should slope the ground away from buildings and grade to one inch below driveway or sidewalk level.
When possible use mulch or gravel borders to avoid turf areas that are difficult to irrigate efficiently.
About Topsoil
Well drained fertile loam is the ideal soil for lawns. Sandy or gravelly soils dry out too quickly. Heavy clays are hard to work, and may become water logged and compacted. If your soil is unsuitable, you may need to buy good topsoil, but most topsoil is useable. Heavy topsoil can be improved by adding sand or organic matter, or both. Clay or silt and organic matter can be added if the topsoil is too light.
Improve Your Topsoil
Available organic matter can be used to enhance the quality of your topsoil. There are several sources of organic matter. The one to use depends upon local availability and cost.
Commonly recommended soil additives include:
After adding topsoil and/or soil additives, bring entire yard to a rough grade, be sure to distribute the improved topsoil evenly over the entire yard. Generously apply lime. Use three times the amount recommended for an established lawn.
Roto-till the soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. Finish grading:
When you rake and grade, remove debris such as old sod, plants and rocks. Stones less than one inch in diameter can be left 'when you are laying turf.
You have two basic choices when installing grass: sod or seed. Sod will give you a green lawn area right away, but is more expensive. Seed takes time to grow, but is much less costly.
Installing Sod
Measure your Lawn
If your yard is an odd shape, divide the area into rectangles or triangles. The formula to determine the number of square feet in a rectangle is: length times width (feet). The formula for a triangle is: 1/2 the base times the height (feet). If you wish to know the area in square yards divide the number of square feet by 9.
Ordering Sod
Typically you need to call and order your sod one week before you want to lay your sod. Sod is usually cut just prior to delivery or just before you come to pick it up. It doesn't survive long once it has been cut. Make sure the ground preparation is complete before the delivery date. Sod should be laid as soon as possible after delivery, especially in hot weather. The quicker the sod is transplanted the better your odds of success. You should never leave turf rolled up for more than 1 or 2 days after delivery.
Laying the Sod
Planting Grass Seed
Once you have prepared your landscape area, it is best to follow the planting instructions that come with your grass seed. Different types of grass seeds have different requirements and native grasses may require substantially less water. Here are some general guidelines applicable to standard grass seeds.
Once the soil preparation is complete as specified above follow these steps:
Watering Grass Seeds
Initial Watering - The first watering should be heavy, wetting the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches. This will allow developing roots to better penetrate the soil. Daily waterings will also be more effective with a heavy initial watering. Care should be taken to not allow runoff.
First 3 Weeks - Daily watering is recommended for the first 3 weeks. The objective is to keep the surface moist. The amount of water applied each time will be small. However, in hot weather, two or three daily waterings may be necessary. With dew available many mornings, midday is often the best choice if only one watering can be made. You should not saturate the soil in this period, as potential seedling disease problems are lurking.
Fourth Week - As the seedlings develop, the surface may be allowed to dry out, but the root zone must still be kept moist. Change from light daily waterings to heavier waterings every other day.
Fifth Week - Two heavy waterings to maintain soil moisture for root development and later germinating seedlings.
Sixth Week - At this point resume normal watering procedures for your lawn.
Air temperature, ground temperature, available moisture, and sunlight affect the germination times of seed. Most ryegrass and fescue will germinate in 7-14 days. Kentucky bluegrass germinates in about 20-25 days.
Seeded areas with existing grass can be mowed as needed. Do not let clippings accumulate on the lawn, as smothering of new seedlings may occur. New lawns should be mowed as the lawn gets to normal mowing height. For Ryegrass, Bluegrass, and Fescue this should be in the 2.5" to 3" range.

Okay Deuchbags! listen up. sure avril Lavignes music sucks the bag, but it isn't aimed at you. sure she is a piece of shit little poser who can't sing or play, and decided to write a song about homelessness because she spent a week in New York and Saw a bum on Gunhill, but unless your a prepubescent girl, you need to get on with your life.

pop star who does not claim to be punk. she writes her own music and plays a guitar, and is a great singer who actually sings live not recorded like most of these so called pop stars.
She sings,she writes , she plays live.

PITTSBURGH - It looked like the perfect atmosphere for a Cleveland Browns-Pittsburgh Steelers game.
There was snow on the ground, and people were using Terrible Towels to cover their faces against the nasty chill Sunday afternoon.
Only one thing was missing: Relevance.
The Steelers' 24-10 victory over the Browns at Heinz Field Sunday afternoon allowed the team to avoid its first losing record in Mike Tomlin's six-year tenure as head coach.
Of course, the other way to look at it is the 8-8 record they salvaged probably cost the Steelers a few spots in drafting order.
The draft is going to be very important as the Steelers head into 2013 looking to retool and avoid another season that falls well short of expectations.
There's no positive spin for what happened. The 2012 season was a huge disappointment for the Steelers, and beating a bad team with a lame duck coach and a third-string quarterback in the final game wasn't going to change that.
Predictably, someone asked Tomlin if there isn't some carryover effect to winning the last game. To his credit, he shot down the idea.
A lot of players who suited up on Sunday won't be back. That idea seemed to be on the minds of defensive veterans Casey Hampton and Larry Foote, who sat on the bench after the game and took a long look around.
The Steelers need a kick start, and this is going to be an interesting and important offseason. There are a lot of major decisions that need to be made, and there will be some serious wrestling with the salary cap.
Some veterans will be jettisoned, some contracts will be reworked, and some much-needed new talent will be imported.
The most fragile element is the new attitude that the Steelers need. When you have players who don't show up for games (Rashard Mendenhall) and players who let their contract circumstances get in the way of their focus (Mike Wallace), you have trouble.
Put Tomlin on the long list of Steelers who have to do better in 2013. This team's effort was spotty, and that's about as anti-Steelers as it can get. Strong leadership has evaporated as careers end, which means Tomlin probably needs to step up and take more control.
The foolishness of the initial cold war between Ben Roethlisberger and offensive coordinator Todd Haley never should have happened. Remember when Haley first joined the staff and Roethlisberger made a point to say he had not spoken to him?
Tomlin should have quelled that and brokered a meeting at which he explained what he expected from both of them. Art Rooney II never should have dictated the change at offensive coordinator. If an owner doesn't trust his head coach to assemble the right staff, he needs to get a new head coach.
The chaos was costly. The Steelers let too many leads get away, and failed in the crunch too many times. A lot of that starts with attitude.
The flat line performance at home against San Diego on Dec. 9 was one of the lowlights of Tomlin's years on the job. The Steelers traditionally expect to own December, not get beaten decisively at home by a bad team.
Will the Steelers learn from the mistakes of 2012? That's the challenge as planning begins on the 2013 season.
There's a lot of work to do.

How sweet is that little sweater.

This sweater is so cute and the dress is just adorable -- we have two older girls and three boys and as much joy all my children have brought me -- I am kind of hoping for another little girl (in Feb.) -- one more round of little dresses and such would be fun! But of course no matter I will be tickled!ReplyDelete
Beautiful. I wish I could knit. At least I can crochet. :)ReplyDelete
This is beautiful. That dress is fantastic, too. How much fun!ReplyDelete
Oh, what a precious sweater! Oh, yes that will be adorable with the princess dress. It will go perfectly. You know I want lots of pictures when she wears it!ReplyDelete
I think that is adorable and terrific that you are knitting for your little girl! I wish I could knit!ReplyDelete
I visited your blog because of a "babywearing blogger" image on another blog, and I am so glad that I did. I just read the story about your son and your faith is very inspiring and refreshing to see such a popular blogger professing faith (and not just in the background).ReplyDelete

The performance station wagon niche is not a very big one. Fans of the genre had a brief but glorious time with the Cadillac GTS-V Sport Wagon, but it was recently announced that Cadillac would be killing this excellent muscle wagon off, and we're now down to only one option for a 500+ horsepower wagon, the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Wagon, available only by special order. But help is on the way from Audi, and their access to the wonderful array of engines from the high-end brands under the Volkswagen AG umbrella. These leaked images show the return of the RS6 Avant, a performance wagon Audi has produced in small numbers on two other occasions.
The first RS6 was also the only one to have been sold in the US thus far, and this was basically just a version of the top-trim V8 A6 with two turbochargers attached to it. The second generation stepped up the game considerably, dropping in a twin-turbo version of the V10 from the Lamborghini Gallardo to make the most powerful production wagon ever built. As AutoGuide points out, what we have of the new RS6 is just a leak, so there isn't much in the way of details, but there are some assumptions which are safe to make at this point. The pictures confirm the presence of the twin-turbo V8 which had been rumored for this car before. That's some very good news, as this engine is a Bentley-sourced plant which produces 550 horsepower and also sits under the hood of the Continental GT.
The peak horsepower number might be less than the 572 horsepower produced by the previous RS6, but the current A6 is lighter than its predecessor, and the RS6 likely will be too. The engine is certainly lighter, and the Bentley mill is brand new and more advanced, making it likely that the power it produces will be more usable than it was in the old car. There will be a sedan version as well, of course, and this is really likely to be the much more popular body style. But super sedans are hardly a rarity, so it's good to see that Audi will be throwing super wagon fans a bone, even if there aren't a whole lot of them. The car won't make its actual debut for some time, and even when it does, there is no guarantee that it will make it to the US. But we're choosing to remain hopeful.

Artist Kristina Kada captures the graceful hanging of a plum blossom bough in her lovely arching pendant softened by a hyacinth purple cord. The ume or plum blossom is Japan's favorite flower and symbolizes new beginnings, hope and renewal. The adjustable kumihimo cord is hand-dyed and hand-woven (see copy below for details and care).
Oxidized sterling silver pendant with matte sterling accents is 2" w x 1 1/4" l and includes the artist's special signature stamp on the back. Adjustable cord is 29" l. Made in the USA.
About the Kumihimo CordEach silk necklace cord is hand-dyed and woven into an intricate braid on a wooden, tabletop loom. This technique honors the centuries-old traditional Japanese craft called kumihimo. This is the same technique used for decorative cording on kimonos, samurai sword handles, and the cords for hanging netsuke. The cord ends are finished with sterling silver accents. Due to the size of the finished ends, the kumihimo cord may not be interchanged with another cord or chain without damage.
Care of your Kumihimo CordTreat the cord as you would a silk garment. Avoid getting the cord wet as much as possible (do not wear in the shower). If necessary, you may hand wash the cord with cold water and a drop of silk detergent. Rinse and completely dry before wearing.

Are you or a loved one experiencing knee or hip pain and want to know more about the treatment options? Join Jonathan Kase, M.D., Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center specialist, for a free community health talk on joint health and joint replacement surgery. Dr. Kase, a fellowship-trained sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery specialist, can answer your questions and share information on joint health, signs and symptoms of joints wearing out, when you should see a specialist, and the truth about joint replacement surgery.
A Medina native, Dr. Kase grew up interested and involved in medicine under the influence of his father, Summa Health System family medicine physician Jeffrey Kase, M.D. Outside of his local family ties to medicine, Dr. Kase worked as an orderly at the Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center and completed his residency at Summa Health System. His practice is located in the medical building adjacent to Summa Wadsworth-Rittman Hospital.
Many people may think that they cannot use their knee well enough to kneel or go up and down stairs after knee replacement surgery; however, both are not true. Becoming familiar with joint replacement surgery as well as the usual causes and symptoms of joint pain and joints wearing out can help you determine if and when to seek appropriate treatment and ongoing care in order to live a pain-free lifestyle.
Wed. July 25

Tell Congress what you want
I think we all need to write our Congressmen to let them know what we expect from them in the immediate future.
If you want to stick to what wasn't working before the election, you will, if you're Republican, tell them to insist on no new taxes for the upper crust and that all deficit reduction should be accomplished by eliminating waste and decreasing spending.
If you're a Democrat, you'll tell them to tax the rich and corporations and leave you and your benefits alone.
And, if you think that will work, you've been drinking too much of Bill O'Reilly's Kool-aid.
Since the leadership of both organizations currently is officially sticking to their guns, we already know that won't work. Because of that, my recommendation to Lindsay Graham, Jim DeMint (leaving in January,) Jeff Duncan and Joe Wilson follows:
1. Tax all of us. We all are responsible for your past sloppiness with our money, so we all should pay. How about a 1 percent increase for all persons making less than $225,000 a year and a 2.5 percent increase for those blessed with the higher income levels.
2. Tax corporations appropriately with a specified minimum percentage of gross receipts. No free rides here.
3. If there are any obvious ways to reduce spending, make them now. By obvious, I mean spending that would not impact our health, safety or environment, such as requiring Congress to comply with all rules it has saddled the rest of us with.
All other reductions should be left to the new Congress, with instructions that they act within the first 6 months of being sworn in.
If everyone reading this sends their desires today, Congress will get the message.
Stephen V. Geddes
