CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A line feeding the fire suppression system in the Odd Fellows building at the corner of Capitol and Lee streets in downtown Charleston ruptured Tuesday morning, causing water to pour into the building and the adjacent streets.
"There's so much water," said Megan Delfine, daughter of Delfine's Jewelry owner Gene Delfine, as she looked into her store's basement.
West Virginia American Water employees received the call about 9:30 a.m., said Butch Templeton, a supervisor with the company.
About 2 feet of water had poured into Delfine's basement in about an hour, she said. She noticed water running through her back door at about 9:30 a.m., she said.
The jewelry store on Capitol Street was forced to close temporarily while water company personnel fixed the leak. Delfine, 29, who also contacted a company to clean up the mess, hoped to have the store reopened today.
"We're going to lose tons of business," she said.
She said insurance would cover all monetary damages to the store, but there were many personal items in the basement, she said.
Delfine's great-grandmother's armoire and her father's vintage train set were stored in the basement.
"He got that train set when he was like 2 years old," she said. "It just makes you sick."
Water company workers were forced to shut off water to about seven buildings on Lee Street between Summers and Capitol streets in order to begin working on repairs, Templeton said.
One lane of Lee Street between Summers and Capitol streets was closed for the work.
Employees had to dig through Lee Street to locate the valve for the Odd Fellows Building.

One Lesson Every AP Top 25 Team Must Learn to Reach Its Ceiling in 2012-13
By Thad Novak ,
Even college basketball's best teams—say, those in the AP Top 25 rankings—still have plenty of time to develop with less than half the season gone. Whether it's shoring up weaknesses or building on strengths, there are improvements to be made for the long term on top teams around the country.
No. 14 Gonzaga learned just how imperfect a team it is in getting pasted at home by Illinois last weekend. The mighty Zags offense let them down, not because they weren't shooting brilliantly but because they couldn't take care of the basketball.
Read on for more on the Gonzaga Bulldogs' turnover troubles, along with teachable moments to keep in mind for the rest of the AP's ranked programs.
Lesson: Don't throw away easy points
The North Carolina State Wolfpack has no shortage of scoring options, with the six men in its rotation all averaging at least 9.8 points per game. Those numbers would be even more impressive if they actually included the ability to shoot free throws.
Four of N.C. State's six leading scorers are shooting under 65 percent on foul shots. Star freshman T.J. Warren is the worst offender, posting a Shaq-like .478 accuracy.
This team is guaranteed to lose a few close games purely on missed free throws unless something changes in a hurry.
Lesson: Hit the glass
When Oklahoma State burst onto the scene by blowing out N.C. State in November, it out-rebounded the then No. 6 Wolfpack by a 42-27 margin. When the same OSU Cowboy team lost at Virginia Tech, it also lost the battle on the boards, 37-29.
Freshman point guard Marcus Smart (7.4 rebounds per game) is doing amazing work, but he's got to have some help against high-level opposition.
In Big 12 play, the Cowboys will be up against big, physical opponents every night, and they can't afford to get pummeled under the boards for it.
Lesson: Give the perimeter shots to the right people
The Wichita State Shockers' offense has been good but hardly great in a 9-1 start, with only Cleanthony Early and Carl Hall scoring in double digits. One way the Shockers can boost their scoring is to take advantage of the few long-range weapons they have available.
Although Ron Baker has taken almost twice as many three-pointers as any of his teammates, he's shooting a lackluster .326 from deep.
In contrast, sixth man Demetric Williams (.529) and fellow reserve Evan Wessel (.458) have been far more accurate, meriting more chances than they've been getting from beyond the arc.
Lesson: Embrace the trey
Notre Dame Fighting Irish's starting lineup boasts three wonderful three-point shooters. Jerian Grant, Eric Atkins and Scott Martin are all shooting .406 or better from long range, but the Fighting Irish haven't taken full advantage of that talent.
Despite its exceptional array of perimeter scorers, Notre Dame has attempted just 173 treys as a team, right around the middle of the pack nationally.
With so many good options, there's no reason for this team not to be looking for the three-point shot more often than it is.
Lesson: Keep the ball moving
Through nine games, the North Carolina Tar Heel's lead the nation with 20.1 assists per game as a team. Despite that gaudy figure, though, the Tar Heels' passing game has actually been one of the biggest flaws exposed by their two losses on the year.
Against Butler and Indiana, UNC managed just 21 assists in the two games combined, making its 27 combined turnovers all the more painful.
North Carolina's offense is its best weapon, and without easy baskets off good passing, the Tar Heels are going to fall far short of their potential against ACC-caliber opposition.
Lesson: Make the best of Mike Moser's injury
After an ugly fall in Sunday's game against California, Mike Moser is out of action for the next month or so with a dislocated elbow. As big as the loss of their star rebounder is, the UNLV Rebels can turn it into an opportunity.
Reserve forwards Quintrell Thomas and Savon Goodman will be a lot better at the end of the season for the meaningful minutes they'll get in Moser's stead.
Pittsburgh transfer Khem Birch is also about to become eligible for game action. His debut will give coach Dave Rice another player to develop while Moser is on the shelf.
Lesson: Guard the three-point line
For the season as a whole, the Michigan State Spartan's are allowing opponents to shoot just .315 from beyond the arc.
The picture becomes very different, though, when one looks only at the Spartans' three major-conference opponents—i.e., the ones who can actually match up with Michigan State's size.
UConn (.462), Kansas (.444) and Miami (.563) have all torched Tom Izzo's team from long range. By the time Big Ten play begins, Michigan State's guards must learn to help their big men down low without giving opposing shooters free rein outside.
Lesson: Take smarter shots
The San Diego State Aztecs are hardly lacking in offensive talent, led as they are by Jamaal Franklin (19.1 points per game). When it comes to shot selection, though, Steve Fisher's team leaves a lot to be desired.
Point guard Xavier Thames is shooting a woeful .315 from the field (though, ironically, he's actually been an outstanding three-point shooter at .406).
Even Franklin, who's been scoring at will from mid-range and in, has shot a horrific .243 from beyond the three-point line.
The likeliest solution starts with Thames, who needs to regain the passing form that saw him dish out 4.1 assists per game last year (now down to 3.0).
Lesson: Get as much offense as possible out of Alex Kirk
New Mexico's top two scorers, Kendall Williams and Tony Snell, are also its two least accurate shooters. The New Mexico Lobos' best hope for improving their offensive consistency lies with 7'0" sophomore Alex Kirk.
Kirk is currently scoring 11.7 points per game, tied with Snell for second on the team's charts. If Kirk gets more shots from the low post, Williams and Snell won't have to force so many tough jumpers from the outside.
More touches for Kirk would also mean more free throw attempts, not a bad thing when he's shooting .732 from the charity stripe.
Lesson: Get Ethan Wragge back in the offensive picture
As amazing a scorer as Doug McDermott is, he needs some reliable help to make the Creighton Blue Jays a winning team.
Burly forward Ethan Wragge had looked like an outstanding second option, but he's dropped off the radar since his team's loss to Boise State.
After five consecutive games scoring in double figures earlier in the year, Wragge has slumped to 5.3 points a night over his last four outings.
He's still shooting a sensational .481 from three-point range, so making him a meaningful part of the offense again can only be a good thing for Creighton's chances.
Lesson: Remember the name on the front of the jersey
For years under John Thompson Jr., it went without saying that Georgetown would be among the country's most physical teams.
John Thompson III is running the show now, and his current team would benefit immensely from an infusion of his dad's brand of toughness.
The Georgetown Hoyas have shied away from contact on offense, ranking 225th in the country in free throws attempted. They're not looking any stronger in the battle under the boards, placing a dismal 261st with 32.9 rebounds a night.
Those numbers are unacceptable for a team with four 6'8" or 6'9" forwards among its five leading scorers.
Lesson: Protect the rock
It's becoming apparent that the biggest obstacle to the success of the Gonzaga offense is the Gonzaga offense.
Three times this year, the Zags have recorded more turnovers than assists in a game. Unsurprisingly, they've fallen well short of their enviable scoring average (82.7 points per game) in each of those instances.
The lack of ball security was especially damaging in last weekend's loss to Illinois, when the Zags shot 49 percent from the floor and still scored just 74 points.
Not all the blame belongs to PG Kevin Pangos, either—7'0" forward Kelly Olynyk is responsible for almost three turnovers a night.
Lesson: Get Trevor Mbakwe some touches
Offensive balance has been a strong point for the Minnesota Gophers, with the Gophers' top five scorers all posting between 9.2 and 13.5 points a night.
Sometimes, though, a team needs to focus on creating opportunities for one outstanding weapon, and Minnesota hasn't done that when it comes to Trevor Mbakwe.
The senior star hasn't yet returned to his old form after last season's ACL injury, but part of the problem has been a lack of chances. Mbakwe is taking just five shots per game, barely half of what scoring leader Andre Hollins is getting.
It's not a coincidence that Mbakwe blew up against Stanford, posting 19 points and 12 boards. That was also the only game this season in which he attempted as many as 10 shots.
Lesson: Know your limitations
With apologies to point guard Phil Pressey, this year's Missouri team bears almost no resemblance to the squad that won 30 games a year ago.
The biggest change is in the Missouri Tiger offense, which no longer has the option of bombing opponents into submission from beyond the arc.
Pressey is still an effective long-range shooter, but none of Mizzou's other perimeter regulars has managed to hit even one-third of his three-point tries.
The Tigers must focus on creating shots they can actually hit, not firing up treys that they no longer have the personnel to make on a regular basis.
Lesson: Keep attacking the rim
More than half of Cincinnati's scoring comes from its signature trio of guards: Sean Kilpatrick, Cashmere Wright and JaQuon Parker. That group has done an impressive job of getting good looks at the basket, combining for a .476 field-goal percentage.
Once conference play starts, though, it's going to be awfully tempting for the Cincinnati Bearcat stars to hang back and fire three-pointers, which all three do at better than 40 percent accuracy.
Instead, they need to keep charging into the middle against physical Big East defenses. An aggressive approach will both keep their shooting accuracy high and generate free throw opportunities.
Lesson: Stick with what works
With almost any other team, the advice in this slide would be something along the lines of "Stop taking so many three-pointers!" For the Illinois Illini, though, even 26 three-point tries per game isn't an excessive number.
Firstly, of course, they're actually hitting from beyond the arc, draining an astounding 39.6 percent as a team. Just as critical, the long rebounds generated by missed threes play to this roster's strengths.
Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson rebound well for guards (a combined 9.3 boards a night), while big men Nnanna Egwu and Sam McLaurin aren't nearly as effective for their positions.
Lesson: The kids are alright
Senior leadership is a great thing, and the Kansas Jayhawks have it in spades. For the Jayhawks to get the most out of their offense, though, they'll have to trust an athletic corps of youngsters.
The leader of that group, of course, is redshirt frosh Ben McLemore, who's climbed into the team lead with 16 points per game.
He could be getting more help, though, with more offensive chances for promising sophomore Naadir Tharpe and agile freshman PF Perry Ellis.
Lesson: Light a fire under the freshmen
A huge part of the reason Arizona got ranked No. 12 in the preseason was a monster recruiting class rated third in the nation by ESPNU. Not one of those celebrated recruits is scoring in double figures.
Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski have both rebounded well, but Tarczewski hasn't impressed as a shot-blocker and neither one of them is looking like an impact scorer.
Grant Jerrett has been the odd man out when it comes to minutes in a crowded frontcourt, and his .364 field-goal percentage suggests he'll stay in that position.
Mark Lyons and Solomon Hill are a good start for building a contender, but they must get more help from the youngsters if Arizona is to live up to its lofty ranking.
Lesson: Don't get lulled into too much one-on-one
Ohio State's Deshaun Thomas is one of the most difficult players to defend in all of college basketball. For all the merits of getting Thomas the ball and letting him work, though, Ohio State can't stop playing five-on-five basketball.
In a hard-fought loss at Duke, Ohio State totaled a paltry six assists for the entire game. When Rhode Island gave OSU a scare at the Hall of Fame Tip-Off, a nine-assist night for the Ohio Buckeyes had a lot to do with it.
A team with a point guard as good as Aaron Craft shouldn't be totaling fewer assists than Michael Carter-Williams averages every night by himself.
Lesson: Know when to dial back the pressure
A defense that averages 12 steals per game has been a central part of Louisville's 8-1 start. Sometimes, though, knowing when not to attack is just as important as being able to pounce on an opponent's mistakes.
The Louisville Cardinals' defense has been at its most vulnerable when its aggressiveness has led to easy looks at the basket for the opposing team.
Mason Plumlee and Rasheed Sulaimon shot a combined 12-for-17 on two-pointers against Louisville. Illinois State nearly upset the Cardinals behind a similar 13-for-21 effort from Jackie Carmichael and Tyler Brown.
Rick Pitino has to know when to call off the dogs and have his team play fundamental half-court defense, rather than playing for the steal and leaving openings for opposing scorers.
Lesson: Keep Scottie Wilbekin's head on straight
We still don't know what Scottie Wilbekin did to earn a three-game suspension in November. We do know that if he lets his off-court issues affect his play again, the Florida Gators are in deep trouble.
Even with Wilbekin averaging 4.4 assists per game when he's been on the floor, Florida ranks just 129th nationally in assists.
If Wilbekin gets himself suspended again, the Gators are in for a lot more games like their nine-assist, 20-turnover showing against Wisconsin (in his absence).
They won't win many of those against SEC offenses.
Lesson: Find Brandon Triche's shooting stroke
It may seem bizarre to complain about Brandon Triche's shooting when he's already Syracuse's leading scorer. However, Triche has also shot a career-worst .306 from three-point range on the season.
That's no small problem for a team with very few three-point threats—and none in the starting lineup.
The Syracuse Orange have scored at will against largely overmatched foes, but against the likes of Louisville and South Florida, they'll need a viable long-range game to keep defenses honest.
Lesson: Don't forget about the two-point shot
Now that Tim Hardaway Jr. has started hitting from long range again, Michigan has four serious three-point threats in its starting five.
As good as the Michigan Wolverines are from deep (and as much as coach John Beilein loves the trey), they can't fall too much in love with the arc.
In Big Ten play, there will be defenses that can keep even Michigan from lighting up the scoreboard. On nights when the treys aren't falling, Michigan needs to attack the basket rather than throwing good field-goal attempts after bad.
Lesson: Box out on the wings
In spite of Mason Plumlee's ACC-best 11.3 rebounds per game, Duke has struggled on the boards as a team. The bulk of the blame goes to the Duke Blue Devil guards, who have consistently allowed opposing wing players to rack up elevated rebound totals.
Perhaps the most egregious example is Louisville's 6'0", 165-pound Russ Smith, who more than doubled his season average to grab seven boards against Duke.
Granted, the Blue Devils don't have much size on the outside—three of their four primary guards are 6'2" or 6'1". Still, they've got to start getting more production from that group when it comes to keeping the other team's guards off the glass.
Lesson: Don't get complacent
Indiana could not have played a whole lot better than it has through nine undefeated games. The Indiana Hoosiers have the nation's No. 1 scoring offense and its No. 9 field-goal defense.
They've also compiled those numbers against seven wildly overmatched foes, plus a young North Carolina team playing in Bloomington. When Big Ten play starts, Cody Zeller and company will be fighting for every victory, and they'd better be ready for it.

User talk:Nurg
Hello! Welcome to Wikitravel. Please take a sec to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.
Also, thanks for improving the Gunbarrel Highway article. I have one question, though. I see that you converted some numbers to words (e.g. "16" -> "sixteen"). Is there an accepted rule for this in English? (Like, say, from 0 to 20 and then 30, 40, etc... are written as words, and everything else as numbers.) DhDh 15:13, 28 Nov 2003 (PST)
- Yes, the rule is that if a sentence begins with a number it should be spelt out. The exception to this is years. It is ok for a sentence to begin:
- 2001 was the dawn of a new millennium.
- 2001 was the dawn of a new millennium.
- The rule applies even to long numbers, but there is another rule that says you should try to reword the sentence so that it does not start with a long number.
- 838 Wikitravel articles have been written. - Wrong.
- Eight hundred and thirty-eight Wikitravel articles have been written. - Better but still not good.
- There have been 838 Wikitravel articles written. - Best.
- 838 Wikitravel articles have been written. - Wrong.
- As to when you should spell out numbers that are not at the start of the sentence, this varies from one style manual to another. Some say spell out one to nine. Others one to ten. Some say one to ninety-nine. Some say to do it differently depending on the context. I think ten should be spelt as ten is only one more character than 10. I have my own idiosyncratic view that we should spell out one to twelve. Why? Because they are unique words. After twelve the numbers are -teen, -ty and combination numbers (except for the round ones like hundred, thousand etc.) Nurg.
- If a sentence begins with two numbers connected by a conjunction (or "to", as in "Eight to 12"), and one is written in digits and the other is spelled out, it looks weird. Spell both out or write both as digits. -phma 11:16, 9 Dec 2003 (PST)

Proflowers.com Complaint - Horrible-Worst Experience Ever
Review by
Comments (23)
I had the worst experience with you people ever. On Valentines day my husband decided to order with you guys. Big mistake! He ordered me my fav pink roses. He did a nice and loving thing that turned into a nightmare. I received 3 white roses and 9 pink roses that look like they were taken out of a garbage can and that is putting it nicely. He also ordered long stemmed roses and what I received was shirt stemmed. They were not even nicely arranged with greenery and had thorns on them that should have been removed before packing as I cut myself on one. All in all this was a terrible experience!!!!!!! So to sum it up on valentines day I got a gift I would get from my worst enemy and not my husband. Not a nice thing to remember nor should they have been sent at all. They were awful. I called up customer service to express how displeased I was and the representative hung up on me. I called back again and the representative was much nicer but didn't make up for the fact my valentines day was ruined. I have purchased from you guys before but will not again as the quality is subpar and I don't feel like wasting my money on awful flowers. I will be sharing my experience with many people. It was also insulting that $30 was tacked on for delivery.
For shame on you people, not only did you ruin my day you added insult to injury by tacking on delivery for bad flowers.

talk to your husband for not purchasing locally.

Ahhhhh madconsumer, you are always such a ray of sunshine! I thought this was a website where people could express there opinions on there experiences with businesses, which seems to be exactly what this person did. And, you tell her to go rag on her husband. Gosh, maybe she should file for divorce while she's at it.
Posted by jktshff1 on 2009-02-16:
Thanks to the op for the heads up. This is like booking a room with one of those online places.
mad got it right (Helpful Advice), that's passing on good information and not ragging on anyone. Buy local, especially something as perishable as flowers.

Tell him to dispute the charge for the bait and switch.
Posted by BokiBean on 2009-02-16:
Sorry, but this complaint has nothing to do with bait and switch.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-02-16:
Try out the Pro-Flowers warranty. They claim to stand behind their products and offer replacements. I'm not a fan of them, but I hear they will ship new flowers if you complain. Good luck!
Posted by Soaring Consumer on 2009-02-16:
Yes it does. He pays for 12 pink flowers, and she gets 9 pink and 3 WHITE. And since the condition of the flowers were decrepit compared to what is advertised, either way it is bait and switch.
Posted by BokiBean on 2009-02-16:
No. That's not even close to bait and switch. Bait and switch would be if he called to get an order of flowers at a low price, was told that those particular flowers are not available and then was redirected to an order of flowers at a higher price.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-02-16:
Exactly, Boki. Virtually all online flower sellers have 'subsitution policies' if some colors or types of flowers are not available. It is not bait and switch.
Posted by Soaring Consumer on 2009-02-16:
Actually bait and switch is defined as "the event when an item is purchased and the actual item delivered is actually a different item of significant lesser value."
Considering that the quality was a lot lesser than advertised (short-stemmed instead of long-stemmed, dead looking instead of fresh) I still feel it is bait and switch.

He ordered ON VALENTINE'S DAY. *mistake #1*
Having worked in the floral industry substitutions are common especially Red and Pink flowers on Valentine's day and Mother's day.
Posted by Soaring Consumer on 2009-02-16:
I could live with the color substitution, but not the quality and stem-length substitution. That is really what ticked me off when I read the review.

Does anyone use local floral shops anymore? He probably would have fared better.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-02-16:
Sorry jktshff1, I disagree. This site is supposed to be a place where people can place reviews on there experiences, which this person did. Telling her to talk to her husband about buying locally does nothing. Pro Flowers advertises itself to be a premier flower shop and should deliver as such. Ghost of Doc J got it right, the husband should place a complaint directly with Pro Flowers and see if they will stand behind what they CLAIM they offer.
Posted by jktshff1 on 2009-02-16:
wrong cj, we agree to disagree. Mad's advise was helpful. The purpose of the site is not just place reviews, but gather info and, hopefully get some good advice and/or feedback which is just what mad did (and very well), as did DOC. Advising about buying locally helps resolve FUTURE problems with an on-line company. Doc added more information (helpful) to what mad said. It's a joint effort.

I'd rather do business with the little corner Mom and Pop flourists...they always put the little extra touch on your order to make it special.

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-02-16:
$30 tacked on for delivery...didn't your husband know how much the delivery charge was before he sent them? He had to, if he paid for the order online....it would give you the total including delivery before you continue to finalize the order...so, don't act like the delivery charge was a surprise or that he didn't agree to it.You said you've used them in the past, so I am guessing your previous experiences with them were good ones...one bad one and you won't use them again?
Posted by Nohandle on 2009-02-16:
Come on folks, we all know the ship direct companies state they have the right to make substitutions. I'll accept that as long as they make up for it with the substitutions being equal or of better quality. I will never believe it is right for a company to send basically dead flowers and think someone should be pleased just to receive them.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-02-16:
I once recieved pink roses that looked dead and shriveled up. They came through 800 flowers. When the sender of them found out what I got, he called them and they told him they would send another order. The second order wasn't any better...they were supposed to be victorian tea roses and they said that's what they look like...sure didn't look like that in the photos...I still say they were dead and shriveled up.

Not long after meeting through their participation in the Quad City Symphony Orchestra, second flutist Ellen Huntington and principal harpist Lillian Lau decided to form their own two-person ensemble. Yet while they knew they had more than enough flute-and-harp repertoire to sustain a professional partnership, what they didn't have was a name.

What kind of person habitually lies, cheats, and steals? In the exhibit A Time of Malfeasance at the Figge Art Museum, printmaker Virginia Myers visualizes corruption through the psychological landscapes in which its perpetrators reside.
Malfeasance refers to a public official abusing his or her post, either through illicit or harmful endeavors. The early 1970s, when these works were created, was a period of political turmoil – Vietnam, Watergate, oil embargoes, and economic recession. Although this historical context was a likely influence on Myers, the artist doesn't reference these events specifically; instead, she abstracts the mindset of the participants.
Myers has been a professor in the University of Iowa Fine Arts Department since 1962 and has been working in printmaking for more than 50 years. The Malfeasance prints were made using dry-point etching, a process in which the artist scratches the image into a copper plate, inks the surface, and prints it with a press onto paper.
The show includes 21 individual prints, with six framed in pairs. The largest of the group measures roughly three by two-and-a-half feet, with the smaller works sized approximately 10 by 12 inches. Completed in 1974, this series was gifted to the Figge by collector Herbert Tyler. These works, located on the second floor, will be on display through October 14.

Rolling farms stretching to the horizon. Salt-of-the-earth farmers. Tractors sputtering to life at sunrise. These are the images one would expect to see in the Deere & Company art collection. However, the Figge Art Museum and the agricultural-machinery manufacturer have put together an exhibit that delves much deeper, into a diverse visual exploration of the natural, the mechanical, and the interplay between the two. Contrary to what one might expect given Deere's corporate identity, the show presents more than idealized visions of agrarian life; it frequently allows for artistic ambivalence about the industrialization of farming.

It is with a laugh that Bruce Walters says, "There's no lightness in me."
Walters, a professor of art at Western Illinois University, was at Quad City Arts discussing Halloween Flight, an imposing collection comprising five distinct bodies of work employing autumnal motifs: a story of drawings from which the exhibit draws its name; selections from his Changelings series of drawings of masked people; a pair of lenticular prints (which create the illusion of motion based on the viewer's changing perspective); 15-foot-tall banner paintings under the title Sentries; and the Vultus projected video of 100 mask photographs.
His next project? A series based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
Walters might claim that he's obsessed with the dark imagery associated with Halloween – with its origins in the change of seasons from summer to fall, the ancient belief that spirits could enter the world of the living during this transitional period, and fall celebrations of the dead.
Yet one only needs to look at the variety of themes invoked in the work to see that Walters is more interested in exploring the fullness of the holiday than one particular aspect of it, and that it's not all darkness. The Halloween Flight story is simple, nostalgic, and quaint – Walters called it "idyllic" – using a child's vocabulary of motifs (a black cat, the moon, a graveyard, a ghost, trick-or-treaters) in evocative, lovingly detailed drawings. At the other end of the spectrum is Vultus, quietly sinister in its sequence of stark, high-contrast photos of masks, disturbing in both its vividness and inscrutable blankness. (In addition to being shown inside Quad City Arts for this exhibit – which runs through November 19 – Vultus will be projected outdoors at the Figge, Quad City Arts, and three other locations over the next few weeks.)

To the editor:
I am writing today about a piece of legislation that is being widely debated in the state Legislature right now. There is talk of a ban on single use plastic bags in Massachusetts. This legislation would regulate carry-out bags in most retail and grocery store locations. The bill (H 696, H 787, and S 359) outlines certain types of bags that cannot be used by any retail establishment and the bags that the bill will not regulate which are recyclable and reusable bags. According to the proposed bill, if passed "no retail establishment located in the Commonwealth ... may distribute plastic carry-out bags," and "this prohibition applies to bags provided for the purpose of carrying away goods from the point of sale." If it were to pass, Massachusetts would be the first state in the United States to pass statewide plastic bag legislation and it would go into effect in April 2015. This ban has been introduced as "part of an effort to prevent litter from harming marine animals and to reduce waste scattered through streets and stuck in tree branches."
I think this is a fantastic piece of legislation and I am writing to urge people to get involved in the debate on the plastic bag ban. If the ban were to be passed, it would help the environment quite a bit. The average American family accumulates 60 plastic bags in only four trips to the grocery store. Some 12 million barrels of oil are needed to create 100 billion bags. The oil used to make plastic bags in America is greater than the entire oil demand of countries such as Iceland and North Korea.
If we reduced our plastic bag use, we would be helping the environment by reducing the use of oil and the pollution from the bags themselves. The bags are a danger to the state's coastlines; they kill sea turtles, whales, seals, and other marine wildlife that mistake the bags for food and swallow the plastic or become fatally entangled and strangled by the bags. The sea turtle's natural prey is jellyfish, and when a plastic bag is floating in the water it looks just like a jellyfish. If the turtle ingests a plastic bag they can have serious complications with their bodily functions and eventually die from the bag choking them or their intestinal system. Fewer plastic bags would mean less litter into the ocean and fewer marine animals would be harmed.
It would also help clean up our beaches, which would benefit anyone who enjoys going to the coast in the summer. Also a single plastic bag can take 20 to 1,000 years to degrade. While the bags do degrade they are releasing toxic chemicals into the environment which can be harmful to both the environment and humans. By eliminating plastic bags we are helping to reduce toxins that enter the environment.
This is a very important issue in the state right now that will affect everyone. When you go to the store, the plastic bags will be gone and replaced by more environmentally sound paper bags, or you will be encouraged to use reusable bags. It will be very different from the way it is now, but it will greatly help the environment and the appearance of our state.

Diagnosing coronary artery disease in diabetic patients
2002; 18 (3): 201-208
Although several diagnostic modalities are available to the clinician interested in diagnosing coronary artery disease, very few have been validated in diabetic populations. This review discusses the non-invasive diagnosis of coronary disease in diabetic patients. Evidence regarding the prevalence and prognostic significance of silent ischemia is reviewed and the potential impact of silent ischemia on the diagnostic characteristics of the exercise treadmill test discussed. Other diagnostic tools are considered, and recommendations are made with respect to screening asymptomatic diabetic patients for coronary artery disease.

Yes We Can
As PC sales tank, what's Microsoft's Plan B?
Market analyst IDC pins much of the blame for the drop on Windows 8. Microsoft, though, can only double down the bet on its new operating system.
Windows: It's over
Most people in our recent debate over the future of Windows 8 thought that the operating system could be saved. I'm sure many people in 1491 thought that the Earth was flat, too.
Nah, vendors will offer windows (if only to due its omnipresence around the world) but will quietly offer a downgrade to w7.
M$ is not doing itself any favor by shoving down an unpopular system on its clients.
heck, most of the business environment is still stuck on XP.
XP is still the best for business environments. Interestingly, M$ has said that they'll definitely stop supporting XP in 2014. Interesting to know how the bidness people react to it. Will they claim tyranny a la kenyan muslin ?
I myself switched over from XP to w7 very reluctantly only last year and I don't like it much.
XP was a dandy operation system. I was shocked that I had so few problems with Windows 7. Skilled Vista entirely, as everyone should.
god, you can tell my mind is in 12 different directions. "Skipped", not "skilled".
Congrats on 1st Proud.

Republican Hypocrisy, Chapter 4,397
By Chris Weigant
Walden's real problem here is one of timing. He wasn't supposed to actually say this stuff before a deal had been struck. It has been the Republican game plan all along to blame Obama for entitlement cuts, in fact. But in politics, timing is everything.
Here is the basic Republican playbook on entitlement cuts. Entitlements are actually very popular with the American public. Social Security and Medicare are wildly popular with those who receive benefits. Cuts to these benefits are politically dangerous for politicians to support. In fact, it used to be called the "third rail of American politics" — touch it, and you die. Republicans have been trying to convince the American public for a very long time to slash entitlements, and the public has recoiled in horror. So now, their plan is to get Obama to be the author of such cuts, whereby they can have their cake and eat it too. They can slash entitlements and blame it on someone else. See: that $700 billion, and the 2012 election.
The way it was supposed to work (as far as Republican strategists were concerned) was once a grand bargain was passed and signed into law, then they could go out on the campaign trail and bash Obama for cutting Social Security, in another laughable attempt to convince the public that they cared much more for seniors than those dastardly Democrats.
Walden jumped the gun. That's his real sin, among Republicans. He wasn't supposed to say this sort of thing until after the deal was struck. It was one of those things that (for the time being) Republicans were allowed to think, but weren't allowed to say out loud.
Because, by doing so he exposed the doublethink for the rancid hypocrisy it truly is.
Long post, much more here …………..
Lovin' the low key jazz on the White House link. This is the classiest White House ever!!!
I wonder if any of the Alabama legislature is there. Aren't they all Repubs. PBO is so gracious to all the players and the coach really had nice things to say to the President. I love watching these events.
Yup, I just saw that little troll Sessions. Pres Obama is much, MUCH better than I am. I wouldn't let him on my property, much less get near anyone I cared about!!

A Progressive Manifesto: What We Want, Everyone Should Want
By Milt Shook (Please Cut The Crap)
We have to change our ways, if we're to make this country progressive. What follows are list of general goals that everyone, regardless of political persuasion, can get behind, except maybe hardcore right wingers, like John Birchers and the like. By expressing ourselves using these generalized goals, we can get people excited about liberal politics again, and solve society's greatest problems. As progressives, our goals should be easy to understand and follow, if we expect a majority to follow our lead.
And if our goal isn't a majority in a democracy, then what are we doing here, really?
Try these, and watch our political fortunes turn around.
Everyone is entitled to basic food and shelter, meaning a heated, comfortable space that is as safe as possible, and enough nutritious food to keep them and their family healthy.
Everyone is entitled to access to as much clean, safe drinking water as they need, free of chemicals and contaminants.
Everyone is entitled to the cleanest possible air to breathe.
Every attempt should be made to make all communities safe and secure, not just from crime, but from the negative effects of past activities and pollution.
Everyone is entitled to basic protection from and recovery assistance for natural disasters.
Long post, more here ……
Great piece by Milt shook! I especially liked this: "How can we claim to be against voter suppression and then actively try to suppress turnout with negativity?" Thanks Ladyhawke for sharing it with us.
The spending is insane.

Ezra Klein (@ezraklein) April 15, 2013
The House on Friday is expected to pass legislation that would permanently repeal a requirement that senior government officials post details of their finances online.
That requirement was put into place last year by the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act. That law was designed to provide transparency about the finances of members of Congress and senior officials, and to make sure they are not benefiting financially from their knowledge as government operatives.
But the requirement that senior officials post their financial information online was met with immediate opposition from the roughly 28,000 officials that would have to comply with this rule. They said the requirement could threaten national security.
28 thousand senior officials ???
This passed and PBO signed it today

Gunnite folks.
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is canceling the creation of a new military medal for drone and cyber warriors, and instead wants military leaders to develop a special pin or device that would be attached to already existing medals or ribbons.
The Distinguished Warfare Medal was created by Hagel's predecessor, Leon Panetta, and it immediately triggered bitter complaints from veterans and lawmakers who said it should not be ranked higher than traditional combat medals such as the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
Senior military leaders reviewed the issue and recommended the creation of a device, similar to the "V" for valor that can be attached to the Bronze Star and other medals to reward an act of heroism. They have 90 days to finalize details and criteria for the award.
This is good.
A Deaniac No More
// This isn't easy for me to write. I got my start in politics 10 years ago in the presidential campaign of Gov. Howard Dean. It was a campaign that I joined not just because of Gov. Dean's bold opposition to the Iraq war but also his pragmatic record as the governor of Vermont. I slugged through the snow in New Hampshire, knocked on doors in Phoenix, and spent more nights organizing in my home state of California than I can count.
When Howard Dean didn't make it to be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, I was a founding member of our local DFA chapter, known as the Dean Democratic Club of Silicon Valley. I was in San Francisco for DFA's launch. When he ran for party chair in 2005, we lobbied our DNC members. I served on the Board of the local DFA chapter for a few years, and as a Co-Chair for two years, determined to spread Gov. Dean's vision of fiscal responsibility and social progress. I adopted the monkier 'Deaniac83′ proudly and early on.
I can no longer call myself a Deaniac in good conscience. Not any more. Not after this: //
@GovHowardDean there's a cure for Obama Derangement Syndrome. 1st step, reflect on this thepeoplesview.net/2013/04/a-dean… Oh, & learn how to spell.—

In first half Sunday at Crisler Center, Michigan State seemed to fall apart when Keith Appling left the game.
In the second half, Appling could do nothing to stop the Spartans from continuing to dissolve in a 79-70 loss to rival Michigan that puts the Wolverines in full command of the Big Ten race. But he played a lot. And he'll keep playing.
Asked after his sixth loss in the past eight games to Michigan whether he considered someone else, coach Tom Izzo said: "Nope, I was going with my guy."
In his third game back after missing three with a sprained right wrist, Appling continued to operate as a partial player, scoring six points with two assists and two turnovers in 25 minutes. He has nine points, 12 assists and eight turnovers since his return, attempting seven shots - one from outside.
"Of course his wrist is affecting his shot, but he still drove, he did some things," Izzo said. "But I've got to get guys ready to play down the road, too.⦠"I'm gonna keep playing Appling because I'm gonna play guys that are gonna be playing down the stretch."
The No. 13 Spartans (22-6, 11-4) must rely on No. 20 U-M (19-7, 11-3) to falter to have a shot at a share of the Big Ten title. Either way, the postseason goals will be lofty and likely not attainable unless Appling is at least able to be some kind of offensive threat.
He hurt the wrist again Sunday after going high for an errant Matt Costello lob pass and falling to the floor.
"I was able to play through it," he said.
He was not able to stop Michiganguard Nik Stauskas after MSU went small and switched from Gary Harris to Appling as Stauskas' primary defender.
That worked for Indiana and Yogi Ferrell three weeks earlier in a win over U-M, but Stauskas shot over Appling for most of his 21 second-half points.
"I felt like every time, my hand was there in his face," the 6-foot-1 Appling said of the 6-6 Staukas, "but those couple inches he had on me really mattered."
But the biggest moment for Appling on Sunday might have been the charge he was called for with 9:57 left in the first half, with MSU up 22-11.
Michigan's offense seemed to wake up from there, and MSU's defense never rejoined the action.
"That's when defensively they were going around us," Izzo said. "You can only Band-Aid things so much. But Keith's gonna have to play his way through. Keith is not 100(PERCENT). He's not 80(PERCENT). We all know that. But he's better than he was."
He's also 2-6 in his career against Michigan, including 0-4 at Crisler Center, along with senior forward Adreian Payne.

XS Scuba 5mm Rynohyde Diving Gloves
Rating: XS SCUBA 5MM RYNOHYDE GLOVES 9/20/2006 On a recent dive in April in Michigan with water temps in the fiftys, the XS SCUBA 5MM RYNOHYDE GLOVES performed very well. They fit well with my wetsuit and remained flexible and warm my entire dive. After the dive they dried fast and fit the same on my hands for my next dive. Greg. Was this review helpful? Yes No

Rating: XS SCUBA 7MM PYROSTRETCH HARD SOLE BOOTS 9/20/2006 I live and dive in Michigan where not all water entrys are sandy beaches. The XS SCUBA 7MM PYROSTRETCH HARD SOLE BOOTS provide support and comfort on rocky terrain and slippery rock entrys. Not to mention great exposure protection in the cold waters in MIchigan, and performed well with my adjustable fins. Greg. Was this review helpful? Yes No

All About "cooking with kids"
Cooking With Kids: Getting Them Involved
Instead of your kids asking what's for dinner, why not recruit their help in actually making it? They'll have a good time mixing ingredients and feeling helpful -- and they will definitely take more of an interest in cleaning their plate if they helped to make what goes on it.
Read MoreParent Moments: Can I Help?
I think of my kitchen as my office: Don't mess up my papers, don't delve into my utensil drawer, or rearrange my pantry, or interrupt me when I'm on the cooking equivalent of a conference call: preparing a complicated dinner with three different side dishes that are all going to come out simultaneously, perfectly browned or warmed or buttered. So I used to shudder when my youngest, Faith, would ask, "Can I help?"
Read MoreStage a Family Cooking Competition
Ever notice how people seem to gather in the kitchen? Why not transform this trend into an "official" gathering, and stage a cook-off. It's a sure way to have some fun, spend some time together, and -- if all goes well -- enjoy some great grub. So get cookin'!

Laugh Track: How much time and energy did you spend making the movie?
Matthew: Lets just say I went into this project with a girlfriend, and finished as a single man. It was about a year long process, but it felt like forever.
