Art Tatum
Art Tatum
Art Tatum was among the most extraordinary of all jazz musicians, a pianist with wondrous technique who could not only play ridiculously rapid lines with both hands (his 1933 solo version of "Tiger Rag" sounds as if there were three pianists jamming together) but was harmonically 30 years ahead of his time; all pianists have to deal to a certain extent with Tatum's innovations in order to be taken seriously. Able to play stride, swing, and boogie-woogie with speed and complexity that could only previously be imagined, Tatum's quick reflexes and boundless imagination kept his improvisations filled with fresh (and sometimes futuristic) ideas that put him way ahead of his contemporaries.

Kalou, Saha head list of players released
Premier League clubs have announced their retained squad lists with Emile Heskey, Michael Owen, Luis Saha, Manuel Almunia and Salomon Kalou all being released.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
Chelsea's Didier Drogba is the most high-profile free agent at the current moment but his decision to depart the club had been announced in the immediate aftermath of Chelsea's Champions League win on May 19. Kalou, in contrast, had been doing his utmost to convince his bosses that he deserved to stay at the club.
The Ivory Coast international appeared to be on the way out back in January as he had been reduced to a bit-part player by then-manager Andre Villas-Boas. Under interim manager Roberto di Matteo, however, he was given a new lease of life and he scored a crucial goal in Chelsea's quarter-final first leg against Benfica.
Since then, he went on to play in both FA Cup final and Champions League final victories over Liverpool and Bayern Munich respectively but he was unable to make an equally strong impact. And with Chelsea seeking to refresh their squad with the reported signings of Eden Hazard and Hulk in addition to the confirmed transfer of Marko Marin, it has been confirmed that the west London club have chosen to terminate Kalou's contract.
All clubs are required to submit their players released and players retained lists to the Premier League by the third Saturday in May, apart from Chelsea who had a deadline of four days following the Champions League final. Jose Bosingwa also joins Kalou on the way out as he was deemed surplus to requirements as well.
Other notable players include Manchester United's Michael Owen and former Arsenal regular Manuel Almunia. United's reserve goalkeeper Tomas Kuszczak will also have to search for a new club as he failed to break into the first team during his five seasons at the club.
Aston Villa have also chosen to release Emile Heskey on a free transfer following a disappointing season that saw him score only one league goal.
Tottenham have chosen to end the contract of long-serving defender Ledley King and they have also parted ways with Luis Saha who only joined the club on a short-term contract back in January.
Owen Hargreaves is also a free agent as his one-year sojourn at Manchester City came to an end. He only made four appearances for the Citizens in their title-winning season.
Other notable players released: Danny Guthrie (Newcastle), Craig Gordon (Sunderland), James McFadden (Everton), Carlos Cuellar (Aston Villa), Fabio Aurelio (Liverpool), Ryan Nelsen (Tottenham), Paul Scharner (West Brom), Chris Kirkland (Wigan).

A friend of mine is on an anti-candida diet, which means no/low sugar including carbs. So what do you do when you have a sweet craving? She is allowed to have unsweetened chocolate so I've adapted this chocolate recipe (and changed the name) from The Candida Diaries to fit both our needs and preferences. Don't be fooled! These were actually quite tasty and this entire plate has approximately 3 grams of sugar! Original Recipe: http://thecandidadiaries.wordpress.com/2011/07/25/no-bake-chocolate-cake/ My Adaptation: No Bake Almond Butter Chocolate Squares Servings: 8 petite sandwich squares Ingredients: Olive oil to grease the pan 4 oz unsweetened chocolate like Ghirardelli 100% Cacao 3 packets of Stevia 6 oz coconut milk 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon finely ground (decaf) espresso 1/4 teaspoon fine grain salt Almond butter Cocoa powder Procedure:Lightly grease an 8x8 pan. Line with parchment paper (very important if you ever want to get this cake out of the pan!) and set aside.In a medium pan, melt the chocolate over gentle heat. Add Stevia to taste. In a separate medium pan, heat the coconut milk over gentle heat. Stir in the cinnamon and the espresso. When the coconut milk is very warm, remove from heat and stir in the salt.Pour the chocolate into the coconut milk, and very slowly and steadily stir until everything comes together smoothly. Make sure the components aren't at all separate. Pour into the prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled throughout, a few hours, or overnight.When ready to serve, remove from the pan. Divide the chocolate sheet in half and cream one side with almond butter, then place the second half on top to form a sandwich. Slice into 8 petite sandwich squares and dust with a bit of cocoa powder. 8 notes Comments Permalink almond butter anti-candida diet chocolate low sugar no sugar the candida diaries vegan vegetarian

Those cheeks! Coleman died recently, but the catchphrase he helped make famous through his starring role on the sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" (1978-1986) -- "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" -- became a national hit and will live on in television lore. He was 10 when the show first aired.

The document will be the Pope's response to the deliberations of the Synod of Bishops of the Middle East held at the Vatican in October 2010. The topic for discussion then was "The Catholic Church in the Middle East: Communion and Witness."
Pope Benedict will arrive in the Lebanese capital of Beirut at 1:45 p.m. on Friday Sept. 14 where he will be welcomed at an official ceremony at the city's Rafik Hariri Airport.
From there he will travel to the Basilica of St. Paul in coastal town of Harissa, 12 miles to the north of Beirut. Here, in the presence of the episcopate of the Middle East, the Pope will sign his Apostolic Exhortation.
On the morning of Saturday Sept. 15 Pope Benedict will pay a courtesy visit to President Michel Sleiman of Lebanon at his official residence in the city of Baabda.
At the same location, the Pope will then meet with representatives of the country's majority Muslim population before giving an address to the Lebanese civil society.
He will then have lunch with, among others, the patriarchs and bishops of Lebanon at the Armenian Catholic Patriarchate in Bzommar.
In the early evening Pope Benedict will then travel onto Bkerke where, at 6:00 p.m., he will deliver an address to young people gathered in the square in front of the residence of the country's Maronite Patriarchate.
On the morning of Sunday September 16 the Pope will celebrate and outdoor Mass the City Center Waterfront in Beirut. It is here that he will officially present his Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation to the Church in the Middle East. Proceedings will conclude with the praying of the Angelus.
Pope Benedict's last public engagement in Lebanon comes in early Sunday evening when, at 5:15 p.m., he will preside at an ecumenical gathering in the Syro-Catholic Patriarchate of Charfet. He will then depart from the airport in Beirut for Rome at 7:00 p.m.
Lebanon has a population of just over 4 million. It is estimated that around 39 percent of Lebanese people are Christian with many belonging to Eastern Catholic churches that are in full communion with Rome.

Here Come the Sun Week! Let's Bake a Sun Cake!!!!
In celebration of of our up coming summer solstice, the girls and I decided to create a sun inspired cake! It was wonderful to bring this sunshine to life ( especially since today was a quite the grey rainy day). I wanted to come up with a cake that was simple and delicious ~ This cake seemed to fit that desire and it is my joy to share...
For this sweet sunshine treat you will need
vanilla organic cake mix (or any cake that you choose to use) ~ I needed quick and easy : )
safflower oil
milk (we used rice)
lemons to squeeze ~ we made our icing lemon infused to add a little zing!
icing sugar
edible flowers ~ if you have them around
and I shall share the secret of yellow icing without chemicals...turmeric! It works wonderful and the taste is hidden beneath the lemon and the sweetness.
we baked our two round cakes ~ can't you just see the excitement brewing...
we then froze them overnight to make the icing easier and the cutting cleaner (avoiding the crumbling)
and then cut one of our circle cakes like this...
then assembled our pieces as such...
we picked some ~ oh so juicy ~ wild strawberries to adorn our cake...
and I think perhaps ate more than we put into the bucket (isn't that half the fun!!!)
We gathered daisies asking them to shine on our cake, sampled daisy petals and picked wild flower bouquets...
and then proceeded with much joy in creating...
Our Sunshine Cake
topped with the pretty faces of Ms. Marigold, Ms.Pansy, Ms.Violet and
Ms. Wild Stawberry...
sending out a warm, radiant, glow of sunshine to you...
~ Shanti ~

Card Tips:Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon
70,758pages on
this wiki
this wiki
- So far there are only 5 cards in the game that can help this card use its second effect: "Overlay Eater", "Xyz Unit", "Hazy Pillar", "Spirit Converter" and "Overlay Regen". The latter two are the most recommended, as "Spirit Converter" can attach more that one monster as an Xyz Material, combined with easy swarm capabilities, while "Overlay Regen" is very easy to use, as it becomes material itself, making it a quick means of gathering the materials needed.
- Have at least 2 copies of "Overlay Regen" ready as soon as you Xyz Summon this card. Its effect second effect should be activated right away or it may not be possible at all.
- The Thunder family can help Xyz Summoning this card, as well as being available targets for "Spirit Converter".
- This card can be useful by Special Summon a monster such as "Hardened Armed Dragon", "Kagetokage" or "Elemental HERO Bubbleman" and activate "Inferno Reckless Summon" to Summon two more copies, then Overlay them for this card. The other player(s) won't gain any advantage as its first effect that leaves them no monsters to use.
- This card can be used with "Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force" to Xyz Summon "Hieratic Dragon King of Atum".
- It may be possible to activate the second effect of this card if you have 2 copies of "Number 19: Freezadon" on the field. As you activate this card's effect, activate the effects of the copies of "Freezerdon".
- "Hysteric Party" with a handful of "Harpie" monsters in the Graveyard can quickly Summon this card as well as any other Rank 4 Xyz monster.
- If you Xyz Summon this monster using three "Harpie" monsters and use its effect, you can activate "Hysteric Party" and Special Summon the monsters used as the Xyz Materials and make another Rank 4 monster, like "Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon" and "Evilswarm Ouroboros".

New York City defends excess emergency hotel rooms
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Thursday defended the city's decision to pay for more than 1,000 hotel rooms, including hundreds that remain vacant, for residents whose homes were destroyed or made unlivable by Superstorm Sandy.
The mayor's comments followed a Wall Street Journal report that at one hotel near Times Square, the Milford Plaza, 120 rooms reserved at a nightly rate of $295 have gone unused, racking up a tab of nearly $1 million.
"It shows that we have the courage to do something that no one has had the courage to do. We've gotten housing for people in case they might need it. But the wonderful thing is, we haven't needed it so far," Bloomberg said.
Julie Wood, a Bloomberg spokeswoman, said at least 1,000 residents have been put up in hotels, and said the city has also arranged for a "buffer of rooms" to house people who have no heat or electricity.
The housing crisis has grown more urgent as freezing temperatures and at least two snowstorms have hit the region.
Wood said it was necessary to book hundreds of rooms in advance as the city heads into the holiday season, the time of year when hotels are busiest. The city expects the cost of the hotel rooms to be picked up by FEMA, she said.
"In New York City, we don't have a lot of housing stock that's vacant ... or a lot of vacant land to set up trailers," she said. "There is a shortage of hotel rooms, and we were concerned that if we could not book them, they would be gone."
She said there is no rule book on how to address housing needs resulting from storms. After Hurricane Katrina smashed into the Gulf Coast in 2005, people were housed on a cruise ship, in trailers and in hotels as far away as New York, she added.
FEMA spokeswoman Denise Everheart said the agency would reimburse the city for emergency housing costs as long as the city can show the expenditures were necessary to keep people safe and that the cost was reasonable.
"We are definitely going to consider these expenses. ... The city can provide justification," she said.

NAHB and LEED for Homes Equivalent Except on Energy, Says Report
The Cincinnati chapter of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has published the first comprehensive comparison of the two largest, nationwide green building rating systems for homes. The report looks at the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Homes rating system and the National Green Building Standard (NGBS), developed by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), and finds them to be largely similar but with key differences on energy performance.
As the report attests, LEED for Homes requires site-tested minimum energy performance, while NGBS does not. At the same time, the report notes that NGBS is less expensive (by about $800) than LEED for Homes and certification generally takes less time. However, the report notes that to make the systems roughly equivalent on energy, you would have to add Energy Star certification to NGBS—and that eats into the cost difference. Ann Edminster, a residential architect and the principal author of LEED for Homes, told
EBN, "In effect, the cost difference is tied to the performance differences, which makes perfect sense. Set a higher bar and it will cost more, both to achieve it and to verify it."
The report also found that some points available in NGBS were awarded for practices that are required by building code in Ohio—and likely also in other states. According to the authors, this "tends to minimize the strength of the environmental intent of the NGBS Rating System and leans toward an easy rating system versus a rigorous rating system." However, NGBS requires that buildings pursue extra points in all categories to achieve a higher level of certification, while LEED for Homes simply requires more points overall for higher levels.
Both systems penalize large homes but in slightly different ways. LEED for Homes adjusts the points necessary for each tier of certification based on house size and number of bedrooms. Under this system, an "average" home (one that is neither penalized nor rewarded) ranges from a 900 ft2 (83 m2), one-bedroom house to a 2,850 ft2 (265 m2), five-bedroom house. A 4,030 ft2 (370 m2) house with five bedrooms would need to earn nine more points than an "average" house to earn the same level of certification—a significant handicap in the 100-point system. By contrast, NGBS awards points to all houses smaller than 2,500 ft2 (230 m2), regardless of the number of bedrooms, and penalizes homes over 4,000 ft2 (370 m2).
Carl Seville, a builder and consultant familiar with both systems, told
EBN that beyond those differences, the systems also share some weaknesses. "Both programs provide opportunities to game the system by essentially buying points to reach a level of certification." LEED for Homes, he continued, has fewer available points that NGBS, so "there are some serious imbalances" where actions that require drastically different amounts of time, money, and effort are worth the same amount in points. Seville noted that a project can obtain a point in LEED for Homes either by putting a timer on a bath fan, for example, or by having the entire duct system tested and balanced—a task likely to be both more expensive and more beneficial.
As for the experience of certifying a building in each system, Seville told
EBN, "NAHB has much less required documentation, and the requirements are more vague than LEED," leading, he says, to "a potentially less rigorous certification process." By comparison, Seville finds LEED "overly administratively heavy" but has fewer concerns about rigor.
The City of Cincinnati commissioned the report to assess whether NGBS could make homes eligible for tax benefits already given to homes certified through LEED. AIA Cincinnati recommends in its report that NGBS can be used to qualify homes for the tax benefits but with added provisions to ensure energy performance: an added Energy Star certification for new homes and a minimum HERS Index for renovations (since Energy Star doesn't have a certification for renovations).

Ouelessebougou, a rural area of Mali that houses approximately 60,000 people in some 70 small villages, is one of the poorest areas of a country that is itself considered one of the five poorest countries in the world.
For 25 years, a group of dedicated Utahns has been working in this area to help improve the lives of the people. The Ouelessebougou Alliance is now working in 25 villages and touching 25,000 lives.
Over these 25 years, the work has evolved to not only meet increasing needs, but to also provide long-term sustainability, says Jennifer Beckstead, executive director of the Alliance.
"We are extremely careful that we are not just giving handouts," she says. "We have made a lot of progress, but there is still a lot to do."
In 1985, when the Alliance was formed, the primary concern was a devastating drought in northern Africa. "The first projects were to build wells for drinking water. Then, we realized they had no access to food, so we built irrigation wells. Then, we realized they had to deal with life-threatening but preventable diseases, so we started vaccinations," says Beckstead. "We learned there was a strong connection between education and health, and in the 1990s, we started building schools. Later, we noted that if they had access to other resources, they could find better ways to help themselves."
Today, the Alliance focuses on three main areas: health, education and economic development; and it works in ways that can be self-sustaining. For example, "we now require villages to pay their teachers," says Beckstead. "We help provide training and necessary supplies, but we've found that if the villages must sacrifice to keep the program going, it means more to them. In these villages, every child that wants to has an opportunity to go to school."
That's a big change for villages where many children, especially girls, have grown up in the fields with their mothers, says Beckstead. "We've seen how education makes a huge difference for girls in their abilities to communicate, to take care of their families."
The same thing applies to economic development. Now, each village has a committee that decides which of the villagers can receive loans, based on their ideas and plans and abilities to repay them. "We've seen great returns on loans of $100 or less," says Beckstead. Loans may go toward such things as planting more crops or opening a bicycle-repair shop. "One of our first loans went to a man who wanted to open a seamstress shop. He now has eight to 10 employees and is doing very well."
Beckstead has been to Ouelessebougou six times. "I've been to other African countries, but there's nothing like Mali. You see poverty at such a different level." Most villagers have no access to electricity or running water. One in five children die before they reach age 5. They have one or two sets of clothes, worn every day until they wear out. They eat two meals of millet a day, "three if they are lucky," says Beckstead. "But if they grow vegetables, they sell them. So, they have to contend with malnutrition as well as disease. Education is so important, as is health care. And even a small amount of money can do so much."
For example, $25 in Mali can provide life-saving vaccinations for 35 children, fund a micro-loan project so a villager can feed his family for 30 days, give 17 students school supplies for a year, or provide mosquito nets to protect 16 women and children for malaria. "That's less than you could spend just going out to dinner here," says Beckstead.
To raise funds and support for the Ouelessebougou Alliance, the 25th annual dinner and auction will be held Saturday at the Grand America Hotel. The auction will feature more than 100 pieces of African art, such as wood carvings, textiles and figures from Mali, as well as more than 400 items donated by local business and including such things as travel and entertainment packages, sports events, electronics and more. Tickets are $110 per person or $1,000 per table of 10. Reservations should be made by Friday. Call 801-983-6254 for tickets and/or information, or to make other donations.

TO MAJOR-GENERAL GREENE.1West-point, 3 September, 1779. Sir,I have received your letter, of the 29th Ulto. accompanied by those from the General Officers, and have carefully considered their respective contents. The subject is of such a nature, that I should have thought it advisable not to have brought it to a formal investigation; but, since it has been done, I shall give you my opinion now with candor and explicitness. When you accepted The QuarterMaster-General's department, and made a reservation of your rank, I considered it as intended to prevent the operation of a certain resolve of Congress, "declaring that no Continental officer should hold more than one commission at a time," and to obviate any future doubt of your right to resume your proper station in the line, on the resignation of this office. It was not in my opinion understood, that you were to retain an actual permanent command, a proof of which is, that you immediately relinquished your division, and have continued out of command ever since, except upon two occasions of an extraordinary nature and by special appointment. My idea was, that you were to stand precisely upon the same footing, in proportion to your rank, with Quarter-Master-Generals in other services, who, from the best information I have been able to obtain, do not usually exercise a regular lineal command, but are eligible by the officer at the head of the army to occasional commands, either on detachment or in the line, when, in his opinion, it is for the good of the service to employ them in this manner, and it does not interfere with the duties of the department, or with the particular and proper command of other officers. Upon this principle you were appointed to the right wing in the affair of Monmouth, and were sent to take a command under General Sullivan, and both, as far as I have ever heard, were agreeable to the general sense of the army. To attempt a more precise definition of the cases, in which you may be invested with actual command, might only lead to misapprehension, discontent on one side or another, embarrassing discussions, and perhaps confusion. The military reason, which prevents a Quarter-Master-General from exercising command in ordinary cases, I take to be this, that, whatever may be the fact, the presumption is, that both in action and out of action he has, generally speaking, sufficient employment in the duties of his office, and circumstances alone can decide when these are compatible with actual command. The good opinion I have of your abilities and qualifications will make me take pleasure to give you opportunities of rendering service and acquiring military honor in the field, as often as it can be done consistently with propriety, the good of the service, and the reasonable pretensions of other officers. The experience you have already had may satisfy you of my disposition. You have participated in the only two transactions of importance, which have happened since your appointment, in which the whole or a considerable portion of the army has been concerned; but I could not undertake to draw any line, which should determine the particular instances. You ask several questions respecting your conduct in your present department, your manner of entering it, and the services you have rendered. I remember that the proposal for your appointment originated with the Committee of arrangement, and was first suggested to me by them; that, in the conversations I had with you upon the subject, you appeared reluctantly to undertake the office, and, in one of them, offered to discharge the military duties of it without compensation for the space of a year; and I verily believe that a regard to the service, not pecuniary emolument, was the prevailing motive to your acceptance. In my opinion, you have executed the trust with ability and fidelity. The services you have rendered the army have been important, and such as have gained my entire approbation, which I have not failed to express on more than one occasion to Congress, in strong and explicit terms. The sense of the army on this head, I believe, concurs with mine. I think it not more than justice to you to say, that I am persuaded you have uniformly exerted yourself to second my measures and our operations in general, in the most effectual manner, which the public resources and the circumstances of the times would permit. But with the fullest allowance for your services, on the most liberal scale of compensation, I cannot but think the construction I have given to your pretensions to command is just and ample. Your own feelings must determine whether it is satisfactory. It corresponds with my sentiments of military propriety, and is, I believe, analogous to the customary practice of armies, which is the best standard in all cases of this kind, so far as it does not contravene any positive constitution. I think, too, it is most agreeable to the sense of a majority of the general officers, whom you have consulted. If it differs from your own, I shall regret what it is not in my power to avoid. I am with great esteem and regard, &c. [1 ]General Greene had now served as quartermaster-general for more than a year. He had accepted the appointment reluctantly, but had executed its duties with great zeal and ability, encountering obstacles, of no ordinary kind, and rendering services of the utmost importance to the army. He had been in Philadelphia in April, endeavoring to effect some arrangements, with the concurrence of Congress, in relation to the business of his department. He found Congress so dilatory, and apparently so little inclined to second his views and his efforts, that he became weary and disgusted. "I am more and more convinced," he wrote to General Washington, "that there are measures taken to render the quartermaster's department odious in the eyes of the people; and, if I have not some satisfaction from the committee of Congress respecting the matter, I shall beg leave to quit the department. I think I shall leave it upon as good a footing as it is possible to put it, under the present difficulties. I am informed General Lincoln's leg is likely to render him incapable of holding his command at the southward. Should that be, and I leave the department I am now in, I should be happy to obtain it."—April 22d. General Lincoln had just applied to Congress for permission to retire from the southern command, on account of the unfavorable state of his wound. |

154 clutch adjustment?Moderator: Team Cub

154 clutch adjustment?OK, I am not the best mechanic at all! I replaced my clutch about 2 years ago and recently had some problems where the clutch was not disengaging so when I would depress the clutch and turn the key it would not turn over. Buddy was over and noticed there was room to tighten the nut down on the engine side of the clutch rod. He tightened it down and I was able to turn the engine over and got it to fire. Left that alone so I could put it back together. ~ 4 days later I put it back together and start the tractor, letting it run in neutral for about 15 minutes. As I put it in gear and realease the clutch it doesn't go into gear. In 1st it begins to move but only about a 1/4 of an inch, then it sits there like it is in neutral, no gears grinding or other odd noises. Before I go messing around too much I need to know if I should adjust the clutch rod by moving the overall direction towards the engine or more towards the trany? Thanks in advance. duff
Re: 154 clutch adjustment?Adjust the clutch so you have 3/32 gap between throw out bearing and pressure plate fingers. Once that is achieved adjust clutch brake to .010 between brake and back side of pressure plate.

New for 2014!
Earn up to a $150 premium incentive by completing the Personal Health Assessment and health screening, plus an additional $200 VISA Gift Card (can be used anywhere VISA is accepted) by earning 100 NOVAfit! points through wellness activities. The premium incentive will be applied towards your 2014-2015 benefits plan year which runs from June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015.
Please be advised that the premium incentive will only be applied if you are enrolled in medical coverage through Villanova University. You are still encouraged to complete the PHA and health screening even if you are not enrolled in a medical plan for the 2014-2015 year because it provides a valuable picture of your current health and quality of life as well as action-oriented tips to work towards optimal health and wellness.
As part of the expanded and enhanced 2014 wellness program offering, your eligible spouse has the ability to earn a premium incentive of $75 if he/she completes the Personal Health Assessment as well as their own $200 VISA Gift Card with the completion of 100 NOVAfit! points. Please be advised that the PHA and incentive only applies to spouses who are currently enrolled in one of the University medical plans.
Total incentive amounts could be as high as:
Employee: $150 premium incentive and a $200 VISA Gift Card
Spouse: $75 premium incentive and a $200 VISA Gift Card
Employee and spouse: $225 premium incentive and two $200 VISA Gift Cards
It is important to note that faculty and staff not enrolled in the University medical plans can still qualify for the $200 VISA gift card by completing the PHA and Health Screening program and then obtaining 100 NOVAfit! points. Spouses must be enrolled in the University medical plans and complete the PHA to qualify.
Please be advised that the VISA Gift Card will be considered taxable income and will be reported through payroll.
If you are unable to earn these incentive items because of a health reason, please complete the other available incentive items in order to earn your reward. Contact Customer Service at email@example.com or 866-532-7585 for information on other activities.
Campaign Period
Beginning Monday, December 2, 2013, you'll have access to complete a personal health assessment (PHA) and schedule a health screening appointment. Faculty/staff and spouses must complete the applicable PHA and/or health screening by Friday, February 28, 2014, in order to qualify for the premium reduction toward your 2014-2015 health benefits (medical plan enrolled faculty and staff only). NOVAfit! points program will run continuously throughout the year.
On-Campus Health Screenings
Screenings will be held on campus January 21-31 in Dougherty Hall, West Lounge. To register for a screening and to take the PHA, visit the wellness portal.
How do I complete the PHA and Health Screening?
For faculty and staff: It's simple: complete the PHA and either register for a health screening appointment on campus via the NOVAfit! wellness portal or have your physician submit the physician affidavit form.
For spouses: Spouses will self register by clicking here and need to provide last name, date of birth and last 4 digits of SSN in order to log into the portal to take the PHA. If both spouses are Villanova employees, the incentive will depend on how the medical benefits are elected. If both employees elect benefits separately, then each will need to complete the PHA and health screening. If the medical benefits are elected jointly, the employee carrying the coverage would need to complete the PHA and health screening, and the spouse would just complete the PHA. For more information on how spouses can enroll, please click here. Please note: Spouses are not required to participate in the health screenings to be eligible for the $75 premium reduction.
Further details regarding this program and all of the wellness offerings can be found in the 2014 NOVAfit! Wellness Guide.

Intro: A D A D Bm D Bm A x2 D Meet me at St. Nicholas Among the oaks Behind the church Em That sway like pig-tailed girls As summer wind whistles D Around your bare-skin knees A And the forsythia leaves D In the shade Lay with me Tickled by The feather reed Em That's where the trees grow old Under the ivy's hold D As you in my two arms A Equally safe from harm Em And in a hazy day dream G Our bodies married the stream Bm A And we grow down into pebbles and silt Em The water ran from the fields G Until the oceans we filled D A And found the sea-bed the comfiest quilt Em G There was more life in the weeds than in the few hundred seats Bm A In rows from transept to chancel to nave Em G And when their anger had paused, I turned and answered their calls Bm A With your just audience, I'm the applause Em G We take on the burden of all these sad-eyed children Bm A With lilies bunched in our hands Em G We fake our concern and speak softly as the surgeon Bm A Tells wife to cancel her plans Em G Take a body to water, take a body to tundra Bm A Just take me with you as well Comments

Celebrity News
Here's the Truth, Katie Holmes
Prepare yourself Katie... the truth is about to come out...
Your family, friends and fans might have told you how happy they were for you when Tom Cruise swept you off your feet and in to the land of Mordor, or wherever it is that Scientologists believe they'll go to when they find the ring. Or truth. Or whatever. But here's the deal, and trust me on this: Everyone is now breathing a sigh of relief that this contract, er marriage, is in the state of dissolution.
Right now, you're probably experiencing a thousand emotions at once-- elated (I think?) that you're outta there... sad (I assume?) that your daughter will have parents not together under one roof... scared (I'm sure?) that life will not be what you thought it would be.... Whether you're a regular, non-celeb or you had to have a silent birth (was that true??), divorce SUCKS. It's hard. And again, people will say and ask things they have no business uttering.
5 Things You Need To Give Up In Order To Be Happy In Marriage
Over the next few months, almost everyone you know, even those who hail from Team Tom, might want to share some thoughts "off the record" about how they really felt about you two (then) lovebirds. In my opinion (and experience), it's unfortunate that people feel the need to tell you the truth after the damage has been done-- as if you need to be reminded (not withstanding the creation of your beautiful daughter Suri) that everything was a mistake. You'll be barraged by filter-less comments --and posts like these. "You didn't seem happy." "It felt contrived." "You looked scared." "Did you really love him?"
On that note, here's a question: In 2005, when T-Cruise jumped on Oprah's couch (like a lunatic) and shouted his love for you from the rooftops, did you see the red flags waving or did L. Ron Hubbard's crew have them removed from the planet so you wouldn't notice the crazy that you were getting yourself into? Because... well... the other girls, like you, who dreamt of marrying Maverick suddenly found themselves scared and turned off (at least one of us was).
And while we're on the subject, it's hard to turn on the intra-web without seeing a little factoid about the one thing all of Tom's ex-wives (you now included) have in common: They divorced at 33. Is this totally random? Scien-tology-ific? Because in Hollywood that's old? Or what....?
Is There Really Such a Thing as Happily Ever After?
The point is, people will have questions and concerns and in your case, broadcast them to the whole nation. You've showed a lot of grace and poise and I have no doubt you'll continue to do that through the process. I know he's Tom Cruise, quite possibly the most well known celebrity in the world at this time, but frankly, since we're being frank: He just seemed like a dork. An eccentric dork. And well, if we're being really, really honest, he dimmed your light. It's time to shine...

June 1, 2012 § 4 Comments
"Wearing pajamas in public is taking a symbol of private life into the public sphere. Not actual private life, mind you, but the symbol of it. (…) The pajama-pants look as a trend isn't just about comfort, or even just about bringing our private lives outside. It's about a careful calibration of public intimacy. It's about what layers you're going to show, and when, and to whom. Actually, it's about Facebook. The generation that's donning loungewear in public in large numbers is also the generation that has grown up with different expectations of privacy and public living. (…) It only makes sense that a generation versed in managing privacy would gravitate toward clothing that advertises different layers of public and private personae. (…) Part of what makes us us is what we keep to ourselves. Likewise, part of what creates intimacy is sharing private parts of ourselves with others. So when the expectations of what's public and what's private shift dramatically, so do our ideas of intimacy and how we can best create it. "
Excepts from the article "The Privacy Settings of Pajamas" from The Beheld, found via Final Fashion.
The current surge of pajamas as day or evening wear is fascinating to me. As with any new fascinations which might end up resulting in future wardrobe additions, it's a toss up between giving in to a fascination and the practical realization that I don't really need a new item in my wardrobe.
Luxury pyjamas posses many of the qualities I personally find appealing: comfortable, well-made and (usually) flattering. There is also that elusive androgyny as they reference men's pyjamas (and the men's suit, originally), and leisurely decadence. Plus they go from practical to frivolous just by switching the context. Furthermore, if you end up regretting the purchase down the road, you can always end up using them to oh, I don't know …sleep in?
As of now, though, this trend might just be something I'll admire from a distance, but I will stock up on all those beautiful sets currently available. (And who knows, I might just end up tossing a matching cardigan over my shoulders, grabbing a clutch bag and velvet slippers for a dinner with friends downtown.)

Oeuvre in Pink

(images via various tumblers over the years, which i forgot the name of. apologies)
Not only does Sofia Coppola exude style, her work as a director is at least as inspirational. Her films such as Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette tell of the essence and loneliness of being a female in a world that, as one critic put it "knows how to use you, but doesn't know what to do with you." There is a quiet, naturalistic melancholy that surrounds it, even in her elaborate costumedrama based on the teenage French queen.
Every once in a while I'll spend my evening with her movies and a big cup of camommile tea. They also make for perfect movies for sleepovers, with additional wine and macarons highly recommended.

looking for the 17 year brood emerging now/soon - willing to travel within the tristate area - please let me know if there are any large amounts in your area
we are checking cicadamainia but no not everyone posts on there - thanks
please let me know if there are any large amounts in your area
I saw a bunch of cicadas in my front yard this morning - not sure if that counts as a "large amount". We live in NJ, at the border of Essex, Morris and Union counties.
thank you - is your area far off of 78? - it appears rt78 area (near Springfield) has adults now - we plan to go this weekend, according to the maps we have been looking at your area is a bit a head of us (we are in PA) - are you near any state parks? We mainly are looking for a state park area that has been left undisturbed these past 17 years.
by large/big I mean - sound wise - super loud! and 1000's and 1000's of adults and sheds-the more the merrier! for us
I know one area near us that 17 years ago I was at and so far they have not emerged (which is good!!) and I am really curious to see the effects of 17 years and how close to the dates they emerge (that should be the first week of June near us-fingers crossed)
We are literally across the county line from Springfield. :)
You might want to check out the Cora Hartshorn Arboretum, the Reeves-Reed Arboretum, or the South Mountain Reservation - all are very near us. (There were a LOT of them in the South Mountain Reservation two cycles, or 34 years, ago.)
that was exactly what info I was looking for- thanks so much!

Reilly seeking a negligent manslaughter charge, urges Amorello to step down
By Russell Nichols, Globe Staff | July 11, 2006
Attorney General Thomas F. Reilly launched a criminal investigation this afternoon seeking a �negligent manslaughter� charge after a woman died in a car when a tunnel ceiling partially collapsed.
Reilly, speaking at a news conference this afternoon, said he is investigating the accident that crushed a Jamaica Plain woman to death at about 11 p.m. Monday.
"The jurisdiction we're looking at is negligent manslaughter,� Reilly said. �We're treating this as a crime scene and we're looking at manslaughter."
�Everything is on the table,� Reilly added. �I'm talking about the Turnpike Authority. I'm talking about anyone that's signed off on this project."
The attorney general, a Democrat running for governor, said he spoke with Massachusetts Turnpike Authority chairman Matthew J. Amorello this morning and urged him to step down, adding that he "hopes Amorello does the right thing.�
At another afternoon press conference, Republican Gov. Mitt Romney said he would launch his own efforts to remove Amorello as chairmen.
"What happened last night of course is unacceptable,'' Romney said at a 2 pm news conference.
Amorello is expected to hold a press conference later this afternoon. This morning, Amorello said his agency was prepared for the scrutiny.
�We'll cooperate fully in any investigation that may result from this process, whether it be criminal or non criminal,� said Amorello, adding that US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan and the Suffolk Country District Attorney�s office are also involved.
�We are going to do everything we can to assure these are safe tunnels,� said Amorello, flanked by police and state and local transportation officials. �These are safe tunnels. This was a horrible, horrible event. It is an anomaly, and we will get to the bottom of what happened.�
