Decorating for fall is both easy and an invitation to stretch your creativity. You can even get double duty out of your efforts by combining elements to add an autumn touch and offer a nod to Halloween.
Start at the front
If you have a mailbox at the end of your driveway, why not turn it into a focal point? Tie some corn stalks together and add a vignette of hay, mums and pumpkins. Besides creating a beautiful scene to welcome visitors, your display will be a nice diversion for the mail carrier.
Another terrific spot to decorate is the planting beds at the front of your house. Create a scene with a scarecrow in a chair, tilt his head to make him look like he's napping, and dot the scene with crows. Layer in apple baskets filled with mums and tuck in colorful pumpkins, gourds and squash.
On the front porch, adding a simple table between two rockers or chairs decked out with branches of bright red and orange leaves is simple and fast. Lean an old wooden ladder against a wall and wind vines and swags of fall leaves through the rungs. Pair a large lantern filled with mini pumpkins with glowing jack-o'-lanterns.
Dress up the front door with a swag of vines and autumn leaves. If all of your flowers have faded, replace them with stacked pumpkins. Set a twig wreath inside a planter and center pumpkins on top of the wreath. Wrap with vines of dried berries or dried grape vines.
Indoor scene
Create a lavish fall display on your mantel. Symmetrical or asymmetrical styles are both attractive above a fireplace. Mix up deeply colored candles, pumpkins and acorns from the yard. As an alternative, pull together an arrangement of large hurricane lanterns filled with acorns or colorful leaves.
In the kitchen, drape cabinets or vent hoods with premade fall garlands. Tuck in tiny squashes and ears of Indian corn to add depth and dimension. If you have a large center island, create a mound of pumpkins and squash. Add tall dried branches for vertical interest.
For small fall touches, perch squash and pumpkins on small containers. They'll look like pedestals, giving your pumpkins height and prominence. Stick these in kitchen corners or on the living room coffee table, surrounded by ivy studded with berries or other fall foliage.
Don't forget about simple decorative elements like dried grasses, twigs, hay and branches. Your own backyard is filled with fall beauty, and you can pluck whatever you want for free!

Ethnic Mapping: Prophylactic Or Offensive?
By editor
After the terrorist attacks on 9/11, some law enforcement agencies adapted crime mapping tactics into what is known as ethnic mapping. Some Muslims welcome ethnic mapping as a useful approach to preventing terrorism. Others say the surveillance amounts to domestic spying and racial profiling.

THE ALASKAN WOLF WAR: THE PUBLIC TRUST DOCTRINE MISSING IN ACTION (.pdf file - 199.69 KB)
By Edward A. Fitzgerald
Wolf killing in Alaska is authorized by the Board of Game (BOG), an agency captured by hunting and trapping interests. The BOG's wolf killing policies have generally been supported by state legislatures and governors. Alaskan courts have not halted the wolf killing. The courts have viewed wolf killing as an issue of administrative law and deferred to BOG expertise. This article argues that the courts should have invoked Alaska's public trust doctrine, which prevents the granting of preferences over state natural resources. The courts should have also rigorously examined the BOG's wolf killing policies and protected the wolf as a valuable public trust resource. The BOG's wolf killing policies have not been supported by the public, leading to ballot initiatives to protect the wolf. Congress is currently considering the Protect America's Wildlife Act, which will prevent the same day airborne hunting of Alaska's wolves.

State Urban Forestry Coordinator: Drew Todd 614-265-6707
Division of Forestry 2045 Morse Rd. Building H1. Columbus, OH 43229
1971 Comments: All of the trees are upright, oval in habit and uniform in size and shape. This is a residential collector road with heavy traffic from vehicles and school children. The plants are growing quite well with no indication of disease.
1997 Comments: None of these plants remain. They were removed about twenty years ago and replaced with crabapples and Callery Pears. This selection of Norway maple did worse than the others. Many people commented that they did not think they were trees. This may have had something to do with the reason these plants were removed.

Disk vendors should get properly on the SSD pot
What should HDD vendors do, given that disk drive market growth is slowing because customers are buying tablets instead of notebooks and netbooks with disk drives inside? Tablets and flash are pummelling the hard disk drive industry and, so far, it has no response, except to enter the flash market too. What else can it do? Its …
I don't believe just adding a read write head will help HD makers
Hard Drives are old school..
They consume energy hands and fist over SSD.
They are larger
Typically hotter
Failure rates go higher as capacity increases (at least in my experience)
And are slower... much much slower.
HD makers have 1 card to play now and only 1... they cost less. But as we've seen before.. those new technology cost do come down eventually.

Dark amber with white film.
Dark toast, orange rind, and pine on the nose.
Caramel and peach sweetness with lots of candy, then resin and tangelo hops end.
Mango finish and dry linger.
Medium, chewy, round.
Candy sweet - very entry level. No IBU bite, and cloys a bit. Slight sandpaper bitterness as it warms, but just not what I'm looking for in an APA.

I was looking at reviews of this earlier today and decided to go for it. Not sure why earlier posts mention great hops in this one. Just not feeling that. Maybe my six pack is bad but this is similar to budweiser. Very disappointed! Yep, AAL taste all the way.

Another impressive buy from my Ohio buying spree. So glad to have finally gotten to try some of Deschutes' offerings. This apa pours a beautiful reddish brown hue with very little off white head. It does retain a nice film and a very nice lacing. The nose is quite deep and malty but with a pleasant hoppy bitter bite and a little roastiness. The mouthfeel is very light and smooth. Almost a bit too light. I'd love a little more coating and chew to this beer. Maybe if it was unfiltered, this may be perfect. The flavor is very balanced. Malty sweetness, hoppy bitterness, and an almost funky belgian yeast flavor all play together beautifully. This is an excellent apa and just makes more excited to taste the other two Deschutes offerings I bought last week.

look: 4.75 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5
Poured from a 12-oz. bottle into a pint glass.
The is a beautiful beer, a rich copper/amber color. It porurs with a nice amount of foam that compacts to a nice 2-finger head that leaves behind some generous lacing.
The smell hits me faintly at first but grows as I drink the beer. I get a very nice fruitiness, pineapple and mango and maybe even a hint of peach or apricot. Perhaps the slightest hint of a yeasty bread as well.
The taste is just excellent. First off is the hops, all nice and juicy and fruity. Pineapple mainly, maybe a hint of orange and peach. Then come the sweetness of the malts. There's some toffee, maybe a bit of honey as well. It finishes with a pleasant, lingering bitter note.
The mouthfeel is slightly creamy, lightly bubbly and very pleasant. I don not detect the alcohol at all.
Overall, this may be my favorite pale ale and one of my favorite beers. Just a great balance and so easy to drink. Superb.

Deep copper amber slightly chill hazed with a bright white head forming thick and fine speckled lace left evenly as it dwindles down. Aroma complements malts and hops so well, slight sweet breadiness, herbal, pine, and citric notes complement the soft baked bread qualities. Pungent hops reach out to the nares as it warms, really nice American pale ale that's been around since 1988, wow!!! Flavor is amply hopped but round, malts mild sugar coated hops, fresh baked bread, biscuit quality, a hint of chalky yeast packet...herbal rolling hops, citric notes, pine earthy dankness is mild yet expressive in the hop components of this beer. I grabbed a sixer without hesitation when I saw this one at one of my local stops. Mouthfeel is packed with crisp flowing carbonation carries light hop resins across the palate, not much going on but the feel is very natural no forced over carbonation on the palate perfectly balanced well engineered pale ale with character all day. Overall this is the bread and butter of this great brewery out of Bend Oregon someone started making this at home in the 80's and had a eureka moment.

Serving Type - Bottle
Appearance - Light golden tan/brown, nice 1/2 foamy head and tons of sticky lacing.
Smell - Pale ale malts, bready, citric hops, yeasty sugars, a little lemon note at the finish.
Taste - Much like the smell, pale malts with a nice citric, lemon flavored hop bite makes up the flavor. A biscuity, bittered flavor mixed in with some light yeasty sugars. Grapefruit and a little pine also adds some flavor.
Mouthfeel - Smooth pale malts coat the tongue with bready/biscuit flavor. Palate gets some hops, sugars and a little more malts. Aftertaste is smooth, malty with some lemon and orange peel.
Overall - A nice, smooth and flavorful pale ale. Very easy to drink, has enough hops to give it nice fruity flavors. No alcohol is noticeable, just balanced well and easy to enjoy.

This beer is in the darker range for the style at a brownish sort of red-orange. The head, close to white, doesn't rise very high and, though bubbly, sustains itself as a heavy foam that's rocky despite being thin in areas. The lace is solid, mostly patching and dense considering.
The nose is pungent, with strong aromatics of pine and citrus layered with not-quite-tropical fruit sweetness along with the rind and pulp of the citrus, fresh and juicy but noticeably hoppy. This is a deeper aroma than I get from most pale ales, with malts adding caramel and a sort of lightly toasted breads note just enough to balance.
The malts come out a bit more in the flavor, and it detracts just a touch from the overall hop profile. It's still nicely hopped, though, even as some sugary undertones and roasted grains come out in the finish.
In a medium body with plenty of support without going too strong or heavy, there's a nice, creamy quality on the palate with a consistent crsipness supporting.

Called a Pale Ale for a reason this has a clean pale amber color and a bright white head of frothy foam.
Cracker, nuts and biscuity malt hit the nose with light floral hops and even some lemongrass.
Malty, crackery, biscuity and nutty this reflects a Pale Ale very well.
The feel is slick and easy with a tang of astringency but this is light enough to be a multiple beer drinker.
This may be my favorite from Deschutes thus far as it reflects the style well but has its own original take.

Pours a brilliant deep copper with a frothy cream head that lingers.
Fresh cut grass, resin, grapefruit, tangerine, and light bready malt form the aroma. Pine and herbal hops dominate, but citrus sharpness accents well.
Flavor reveals more muted citrus underpinnings, with sweet, toasted bread at the backbone, carrying into a slightly bitter, modestly resinous finish. Grapefruit, orange, and fruit cocktail add complexity. Hops and malt are both well represented, but hops take the win. The flavor does seem a little flat.
Body and carbonation are moderate.
Very well balanced pale ale, with good flavoring and bittering variety. The hop flavor lacks a bit in comparison to the aroma.

T: Notes of biscuits, crackers, caramel, minerals, toffee, nougat, sweet cream, plums, apricots, honey, white peach, nectarine, lemon zest, lime, orange, grass, and herbs wash across the palate. The finish is balanced with biscuit and cracker notes underscored by flavors of honey, apricot, nectarine, and lemon zest.
M: On the lighter side of medium, milky, smooth, and silky. Carbonation is delicately prickly.
O: An amazing APA, this is most likely one of the best examples of the style I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. This ale displays a gorgeous texture and flavor profile. The fact that I could drink this all day reminds me of why this beer is considered a classic. For fans of the style, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Poured from a bottle into a Bell's tulip. Nice clear, bright, orange-amber color with two fingers of fluffy off-white head. Good retention. Nice lacing. The nose is hop-forward with citrusy notes of lemon and grapefruit, along with fresh linen (?!).
Light-medium body with a nice, round flavor. Very clean-tasting. Almost lager-like. Pleasant, buiscuity maltness up front balanced with a fruity, hoppy character. Not bitter at all (I expected more hoppiness). I get flavors of toast, honey, tea, and lemon. Really refreshing and easy to drink. Light flavor doesn't linger too long.
If this beer came out today (instead of years ago), I wonder just how well it would be accepted. I definitely like it, but I think the crowds who gravitate towards, big, bruising, citrusy beers would shun this one and consider it a bit dated. I would recommend this one to those new to craft beers. If you've been drinking craft for a while and are just getting around to this one, you may be a little disappointed. It's a good beer, but there are many Pale Ales out there today that surpass this one. I wouldn't seek it out, but I'd grab it if you happen to come across it and haven't tried it yet.

This is Deschutes number three for me. All three have been quality brews although none of them were extraordinary, just well made.
This one looks like a pale should - slightly dark, clear. It has little head or lace. The aroma is faint but OK. The taste is crisp and clean. Nice and dry - not a hint of yeast or malt - all light hops taste. The finish is clean as well.
Overall, this is a very competent, well made pale.

look: 4 | smell: 2.25 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 2.5
Best by 4/18/14. 12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours a golden orange with nice clarity; fluffy white head that slowly fades leaving great lacing and retention. The aromas are pretty faint. Lots of bread, malts, and grains. Lots of caramel. Not much of a fruity hop presence. The flavors aren't exactly exciting, but they're clean and refreshing. Tons of caramel. Very bready. Lots of grainy and earthy characteristics going on. The hop flavor and hop bitterness feels non-existent. Mouthfeel is light with moderate carbonation. It's obviously and easy drinking beer.
This isn't really an exciting pale ale. It personally reminds me more of an Irish red ale. This is ultimately boring and forgettable. This is my first experience with Deschutes so I guess this isn't the best first impression, but it's all good because there are more goodies from them for me to try out.

Pours a typical coppery amber that you have a little trouble seeing through. Little to no head without noticeable effervescence. There is no strongly detectable aroma. Taste is lightly bitter all the way through with a light malt and hop character. The beer has a great mouthfeel that will outperform other mediocre pale ales on tap at the local bar, but overall is a forgettable beer. The nice thing is that they sell this bar on tap many many places in the west coast and when presented with your typical sportsbar lineup, ie bud light, blue moon, sierra nevada, I will usually be happy with a Mirror Pond.
Best by date on bottle was only 2-3 months away so I will consider re-reviewing at a later date with a fresher sample.

T-hops am\nd hop balance in the beginning that quickly goes to a pine hops aftertaste with a grapefruit taste that leaves with a dry crisp finish

O-this was a beer with a twist. The smell makes you believe it is a pale ale at the first sip, but the after that I would have thought this was an IPA

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 3.75
Pour is beautiful slight orange hue. Small white head, very solid lacing.
Low aroma. Toasted malts and a hint of caramel and bread. Earthy and piney hops.
Taste begins watery, transitioning into a mellow malty mash up. Sweet caramel, toasted wheat bread, a hint of dark dried berry. Hops come in the second half, slightly citrusy, mostly earthy. The hops are mellow and the beer finishes earthy and dragging with the smallest hop bitterness.
Incredibly drinkable, light in body with a lingering hop bitterness.
A very good pale ale. Great balance, not overly aggressive or assertive. Excellent

12 oz bottle into pint glass. This is my favorite pale ale. Every other ale pales in comparison. Ha! This beer has a wonderfully balanced flavor and mouthfeel, and the low ABV allows one to drown the stomach in a short period of time if one is not careful.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into my Green Flash Imperial Pint glass. Lovely light copper color. Nice inch head or so. Smell is floral, fresh, piney hops. Pine really stands out to me. Taste is refreshing and mildly hoppy. Wonderful American Pale Ale. Had the pleasure to go to the brewery in Bend and it's even better there. Cheers!

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Poured from cold 12oz bottle into chalice.
Appearance - 1.5 finger offwhite head hangs around for a minute, then recedes into thin, streaky foam cap. Brew is medium amber and a bit hazy
Smell - Smell is very balanced between biscuity caramel sweet malts and a hit of floral, citrus hops. Though in general, the aroma is fairly subdued.
Taste/Mouthfeel - Much like the nose, there is a deft malt/hop balance. First comes orangy, grapefruit , herbal hops, then come bready, biscuity malts, and trails off with mild orange-peel hop bitterneast. Medium body, carbonation is tingly and lively but not at all harsh. Smooth, very easy to drink.
Overall - Still being somewhat of a hop newbie, I was impressed by the balance of this APA. It is hop forward but the malts balance perfectly, and the bitterness only mildly lingers and dries the tongue, kind of like biting on a little chunk of orange peel. Very drinkable. As a BA just getting into the craft beer scene, I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys hop character but can't quite take the high IBUs yet.

I managed to find a tap with Deschutes beer at the airport on my way out and gave their popular Mirror Pond Ale my first ever try. This was a fantastic easy-drinking pale ale. I don't gravitate to hops but this beer had the perfect blend of hops and malt. This reminds me of some good honey-blondes with a pleasant hop add-in. I really liked this one a lot and it went down rather quickly.
If this beer was a Christmas gift, it is the gift you never knew you wanted but now you can't imagine being without.

Light bronze to brown in color. I get a good inch of foam resting on top with good lacing and great clarity. I smell light malt and Pacific Northwest piney hops. The hops and malt are well balanced. I get piney hop aftertaste followed by delicate malt backbone. This is a very smooth, session beer packed with flavor.

What's happenin', T.C.1?
I've seen those things around on eBay, and have almost bought one. If you get one and try it out, let me know how well (or not) it works.
I hope you're feeling better. My wife and daughter have been a bit under the weather, but we think that's related to allergies.
Regarding the sonar; That sounds pretty cool! I'll have to cruse on out to eBay and see if I can get a good price on one!
Get Well!

A 67-year-old male presented with left upper quadrant abdominal pain of one month duration. A CT scan showed a 3 cm cystic lesion with internal fat content arising from the tail of pancreas. The CA 19-9 level was within normal reference range at 8.4 U/mL. Patient was referred to our institution for further evaluation with endoscopic ultrasound.
On endoscopic ultrasound, the pancreatic duct was normal caliber and measured 2.5mm in diameter. There was a 37mm x 19 mm heterogeneous mass visualized in the pancreatic tail. An intact tissue plane was present between the mass and the gastric muscularis propria. Within the lesion, there were round and hyperechoic globules and an eccentric hyperechoic region measuring 20 mm x 13 mm. EUS guided transgastric FNA was performed of the pancreatic tail mass with a 19-gauge needle. The specimen was sent for cytological analysis.
Cytology was negative for malignant cells. There was acellular proteinaceous debris surrounded by a lymphocytic rim and epithelium. Fat droplets were seen within the lymphocytic rim. The cyst contents under diff-quik and pap stain showed anucleated cells in concentric arrangement. The differential diagnosis for this cytology included lymphoepithelial cyst, pseudo cyst or benign cystic teratoma.
Due to ongoing abdominal pain, we elected for a laparoscopic removal of the pancreatic cyst. After careful dissection into the lesser sac, the cyst was visualized near the posterior wall of the stomach originating from the pancreatic tail. The cyst was completely separate from the stomach. The cyst was dissected free from the surrounding fatty tissue and removed en bloc by hand assist. There were no postoperative complications and the patient made a complete recovery.
On gross description, it was a brown-tan cystic structure with multiple yellow-firm nodules arising from the inner part of the cyst wall. Microscopic pathology of the surgical specimen showed the cyst wall lined with squamous epithelium with foci of sebaceous differentiation. Abundant lymphocytes were also noted in the wall. These findings were consistent with the diagnosis of lymphoepithelial cyst of pancreas.
Pancreatic lymphoepithelial cyst is a rare benign cyst seen mostly in middle aged males (M: F=4:1)1. It is considered a true cyst due to the epithelial lining on the cyst wall. They are mostly asymptomatic or cause nonspecific symptoms. 40-50% of these cysts are found incidentally at autopsy or imaging.
FNA is typically the first diagnostic modality which could confirm the benign nature of the lesion. The diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA or criteria for cytological diagnosis2 has not been validated due to the rarity of presentation. On EUS, the appearance can be cystic, solid or a mixture of both. The cyst cavity could be uniloculated or multiloculated with hyperechoic areas inside the cyst cavity3. On cytological analysis the cyst wall is made of squamous epithelium, mature lymphocytes and multinucleated giant cells. The cyst contents have abundant anucleated squamous epithelium, keratinous debris and cholesterol crystals3, 4. The presence of acellular squamous epithelium in the cyst contents is the characteristic feature for lymphoepithelial cyst.
Even though lymphoepithelial cysts are benign with no malignant transformation potential, there could be diagnostic difficulty differentiating it from cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. In these difficult and symptomatic cases, surgery is the definitive treatment.

Very Easy Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at PwC in March 2012.
Interview Details – I interned in another group, was referred into Advisory, but was not part of inital interviews due to attending a non-target school.
Was contacted by HR in late February to see if I was still interested. Had an initial screening interview with HR for 30 mins over the phone.
Emails a few days/week later to set up a phone interview with a partner out of NYC. All behavioral questions.
Contacted a week or two after to get an invite to come to Chicago to attend an office interview. I believe I was the only candidate coming in, ther was no group or office tour (which was fine since I interned in that office and knew most of the things already).
2 1:1 interviews with 2 Directors. All Behavioral. Walk me through your resume/Tell me about yourself, why consulting, why PwC, give me a time..., etc.
Interview Question – None. No technical or out of the ordinary questions asked. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – None. Standard package for all Associates. Pay may change depending on city location due to CoL

I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at PwC.
Interview Details – All those involved were ignorant of the others in the process. Eventually, I was asked to relocate and made a lesser offer because I was told my non-profit experience didn't apply (although, it was the exact same me type of position). I accepted the offer and then they went back on their offer and said they changed their mind. Very unprofessional.

Some questions were: Why PwC, How do you fit in PwC, Why this specific Practice.

Difficult Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at PwC in October 2013.
Interview Details – Initial On Campus Recruiting through Info sessions and Career Fair with a Meet and Greet with free food/drinks to network before first round interview candidates were selected. First round interviews were conducted on campus and were conducted with a manager. The first round was purely behavioral, with a few questions discussing current trends in certain industries (which depends on which area of focus the manager you interview with is in). Found out about passing on to the final round the next week. Final rounds consisted of going to the PwC office in Chicago; there is a morning and afternoon session (12-4:40pm), which consists of 3 interviews (2 behavioral and 1 case study) as well as a panel to give you more information on the company. The background for the specific case you will do is sent to you in an email beforehand so you can prepare. Once you arrive at the office you are given lunch and an overview of the process, as well as a "buddy" to walk you to your various interview locations. The tables you sit at have a specific folder with your name on them with your interview schedule as well as the main question for your case study. Then you are given about 30min to prepare a presentation on paper slides (calculators supplied) for your case interview. After all 3 interviews and the panel are completed, you are free to go. During my on site interview there were approximately 50 candidates in the afternoon session alone (for both full time and internships and for all three advisory verticals).
Interview Question – The business case was the most difficult part of the final round, as the presentation format was not something I had done before and was something to definitely make sure to prepare for. Make sure to do any break even analysis and as much number crunching beforehand so you can focus on the structure, conclusion, and make your presentation complete, as the 30min goes by a lot faster than you would think.

Average Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at PwC in September 2013.
Interview Details – Applied to a specific service group within Advisory. Pretty straightforward and quick interview process. Got referred from a current employer, applied to position through referral link, got contacted from recruiter within a few days of applying and was asked some basic questions about career goals and my experience. 2nd round took place one week later and was a 'technical' screening phone interview from a Director - was not very technical, but mostly behavioral questions. 3rd round was in-person interviews with two other Directors and a Partner - each interviewer seemed to focus on something different - questions about resume (in detail), behavioral questions targeting consulting acumen (teamwork, leadership, dealing with clients, etc), and technical questions regarding understanding of industry and group's function.
Interview Question – Why are you interested specifically in this group over other Advisory groups? Answer Question

22 on the Billboard Pop Chart.
The title track on Seven Year Ache was Rosanne Cash's first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Country Chart, and became her signature song. The album also had two other No. 1 hits: "My Baby Think's He's a Train" and "Blue Moon with a Heartache."
The following year, Cash released Somewhere in the Stars (1982), which featured the hit singles "Ain't No Money,
I Wonder" and "It Hasn't Happened Yet." While the album was less of a commercial success than her two previous works, the record still landed in the top 100 on the Billboard Pop Chart.
Cash's career was on the rise, but there was tension in her personal life. Cash struggled with substance abuse, finally seeking medical treatment in 1984. Bouncing back quickly, she released her fourth studio album, titled Rhythm & Romance, in 1985. The album contained two No. 1 hits, "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me" and "Never Be You." Cash also had two top 10 country singles in "Hold On" and "Second to No One."
Cash won her first Grammy in 1985 for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her single "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me." She also won the 1987 Robert J. Burton Award from BMI for "Hold On" as the Most Performed Song of the Year.
Commercial Success
During the 1980s, Rosanne delayed touring while she raised her three children with Crowell. But she continued to record music, and in 1987 she released her second gold album, King's Record Shop (1987). The album contained four No. 1 hits, including: "Tennessee Flat Top Box"—a cover of her father's original song—"The Way We Make a Broken Heart," "If You Change Your Mind" and "Runaway Train."
In 1988, Cash and Crowell recorded the duet, "It's Such a Small World," which was released on Crowell's Diamonds and Dirt album. The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart, and Rosanne Cash was named Billboard's Top Singles Artist of the Year for 1988.
Cash released her first compilations album through Columbia Records in 1989, titled Hits 1979-1989. Two singles on the album, the Beatles' "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" and "Black and White," were new hits for Cash. "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart and "Black and White" earned Cash her fifth Grammy nomination.
In 1990, Rosanne Cash produced and co-wrote the album Interiors. It was inspired by her marital troubles. Featuring the top 40 single "What We Really Want," the album received much critical acclaim for Cash's honesty and her dark outlook on intimate relationships. The album topped many best album lists in 1990 and Cash received another Grammy nomination, this time for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
After the album's release, Cash moved to New York City. In 1992, Cash and Crowell divorced. In 1993, Cash released The Wheel. It received some critical acclaim, but neither of the album's two singles, "The Wheel" and "You Won't Let Me In" achieved much commercial success.
Writing and Recording
In 1995, Cash married for a second time, this time to producer John Leventhal.

Chaff (/ˈtʃæf/ or /ˈtʃɑːf/)[1] is the dry, scaly protective casings of the seeds of cereal grain, or similar fine, dry, scaly plant material such as scaly parts of flowers, or finely chopped straw. Chaff is inedible for humans, but livestock can eat it and in agriculture it is used as livestock fodder, or is a waste material ploughed into the soil or burnt.
Look up chaff or glume in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
"Chaff" comes from Middle English chaf, from Old English ceaf, related to Old High German cheva, "husk".
Grain chaff[edit]
In grasses (including cereals such as rice, barley, oats and wheat), the ripe seed is surrounded by thin, dry, scaly bracts (called glumes, lemmas and paleas), forming a dry husk (or hull) around the grain. Once it is removed it is often referred to as chaff.
In wild cereals and in the primitive domesticated einkorn,[2] emmer[3] and spelt[4] wheats, the husks enclose each seed tightly. Before the grain can be used, the husks must be removed.
The process of loosening and removing the chaff from the grain is called threshing – traditionally done by milling or pounding. Separating the loose chaff from the grain is called winnowing – traditionally done by tossing grain up into lightly blowing wind, dividing it from the lighter chaff, which is blown aside. This process typically utilizes a broad, plate-shaped basket, or similar receptacle for holding and collecting the winnowed grain as it falls back down.
Domesticated grains such as durum wheat and common wheat have been bred to have chaff which is easily removed. These varieties are known as free-threshing or naked.
Chaff should not be confused with bran, which is finer scaly material forming part of the grain itself.
Straw chaff[edit]
Chaff is also made by chopping straw (or sometimes coarse hay) into very short lengths, using a machine called a chaff cutter. Like grain chaff this is used as animal feed, and is a way of turning coarse fodder into a form more palatable to livestock.[5][6][7]
In botany, chaff refers to the thin receptacular bracts of many species in the sunflower family Asteraceae and related families. They are modified scale-like leaves surrounding single florets in the flower-head.
Chaff as a waste product from grain processing leads to a metaphorical use of the term, to refer to something seen as worthless. This is commonly used in the expression "to separate the wheat from the chaff" from Matthew 3, where it means to separate things of value from things of no value; compare also the "Parable of the Tares", which refers to a mixture of wheat and tares (a kind of weed). Another example is in Psalm 1 of the Bible, which says: "Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away".
Hungarian engineer László Schremmer has recently discovered that by the use of chaff-based filters it is possible to reduce the arsenic content of water to 3 microgram/litre. This is especially important in areas where the potable water is provided by filtering the water extracted from the underground aquifer.[8]

Started as a single Newport Beach clinic in 1971, Lindora was the brainchild of Dr. Marshall Stamper, who was motivated by the unfortunate loss of his mother due to weight-related complications. Now, more than 40 years later, Lindora's weight-loss programs continue to bestow humanoids with a plethora of personalized nutrition plans and private one-on-one health consultations. At each Lindora location, medically trained teams of health-care professionals guide patients through lab work, health assessments, and exams to discern the most efficient trajectory into better health. Patients receive encouragement to adjust their lifestyle and behavior, and bellies stay buoyed by nutrition support and menu plans that spotlight fresh, balanced meals.
Long-term weight maintenance is the goal of the clinic's medically based programs, which means patients needn't worry about extra pounds boomeranging back into their lives like a persistent pet chinchilla. Check the FAQs page here for more information about Lindora's approach to weight loss.

Solomon J. Inkwell has not received any gifts yet
My name is James Grea, but most people simply call me "Jimmy."
I was born on August 31st in Knoxville, Tennessee. Some say I was a creative kid because I was infamous for telling ghost stories to the kids in my neighborhood -- but I say I was full of bologna!
I really adore Horror and Fantasy, so naturally I get a rise out of writing about the supernatural. When I was much younger, my favorite books were the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" series by Alvin Swartz. I am not ashamed to say that I own the collection of books, and I still read them all the time.
I began my journey into writing by crafting poetry, music & screenplays. I was one of those hopeful musicians until 2003 when I started working on my first novel, an adult supernatural thriller. I loved the story, but I just couldn't become moved by it. In the middle of the manuscript's composition, I felt a calling to middle grade/young adult fiction and decided to move to the genres. There, I found my home (and Solomon J. Inkwell, the mystical fountain pen).
My first YA/MG novels were "The Chronicles of Dead Anna." The first novel, "Haunting Thelma Thimblewhistle" debuts a set of six books that are planned for the series and the ever special Thelma Thimblewhistle. I love Thelma. Shes so cool. Annas cool, too . . . well, because shes, like, dead and everything.
Then, came Vickie! "Vickie Van Helsing," my latest yarn, is the story of a young woman named Vickie Jenkins who discovers that she is actually the decedent of none other than Abraham Van Helsing, which wouldn't be so challenging if Dracula wasn't taking over the town! Its kinda like Buffy meets Lara Croft -- really wicked!
"Haunting Thelma Thimblewhistle" & "Vickie Van Helsing" are just two of the many worlds from Solomon J. Inkwell, my best bud. I'll have to tell you the story about how I met him. It's a riot.
I'm an active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators as well as the Knoxville Writer's Guild and am in process of locating a publishing house for my frightening friends. Happy Haunting!

LSSWMD meets to consider settlement
Wayne Allen
PDT Staff Writer
Members of the Lawrence Scioto Solid Waste Management District met Tuesday morning for a non-advertised meeting at the office of the County Commissioners. The purpose of the meeting was for the board to consider a settlement offer proposed by the Ironton-Lawrence County Community Action Organization.
Shortly after the Tuesday meeting was convened, the the LSSWMD board — without calling the meeting to order — voted to go into executive session with LSSWMD Director Dan Palmer included in the session. After a period in executive session the board reconvened into regular session.
A motion was then made to adjourn the meeting with little discussion, just that they were going to consider the proposal.
Nearly a month ago the LSSWMD, filed for a declaratory judgment in a matter against the Ironton-Lawrence County CAO. The case has been assigned to a common please court judge.
According to released information from the Lawrence County Common Pleas Court, the case has been assigned to Judge William Cooper.
The 17-page complaint names Ironton and Lawrence County Area Community Action, Dale Burchman, Board of Directors Chairman and D.R. Gossett, Executive Director of the Ironton and Lawrence County Area Community Action Organization as defendants. It asks for declaratory judgment on accounting, injunctive relief and damages and was filed in Lawrence County Common Please Court, March 8.
In 2012 LSSWMD cut ties with the Ironton-Lawrence County Community Action Organization. While in transition, a dispute arose between the agencies regarding the ownership of vehicles and about $150,000 in funds.
Unable to come to a resolution, LSSWMD is now seeking a declaratory judgment.
The LSSWMD Board of Directors consists of Scioto County Commissioners, Mike Crabtree, Doug Coleman and Skip Riffe and Lawrence County Commissioners Bill Pratt, Les Boggs and Freddie Hayes.
For more information about the LSSWMD visit www.lsswmd.org.
Calls to Gossett were left unreturned Tuesday afternoon.

SUNRISE, Fla. - Brad Boyes and Jonathan Huberdeau scored in a shootout, lifting the Florida Panthers over the Minnesota Wild 2-1 on Saturday night to snap a three-game losing streak.
Boyes' backhander went through the legs of goalie Josh Harding for the winner. Huberdeau beat Harding on the stick side for the first shootout goal.
Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu were turned aside by Panthers goalie Tim Thomas in the shootout.
Aleksander Barkov scored in regulation for Florida, and Thomas made 31 saves.
Jonas Brodin scored a goal for Minnesota, while Harding stopped 21 shots. The Wild lost their third straight and managed two or fewer goals for the seventh time this season.
The Panthers tied it 1-all with a power-play goal at 6:49 of the third. Tomas Fleischmann took a pass from Brian Campbell at the top of the right circle, and Fleischmann's slap shot was deflected into the net by Barkov.
Minnesota had a 5-on-3 for 1:19 midway through the third period, but the Panthers killed off both penalties.
The Wild took a 1-0 lead on Brodin's power-play goal in the second. His slap shot from the point was deflected by Florida's Jesse Winchester and past Thomas at 4:05. It was the 10th power-play goal for the Wild this season.
NOTES: Thomas made his second start for the Panthers after missing four games due to a groin injury. He lost 3-2 on Thursday to the Boston Bruins, his former team. ... Panthers C Nick Bjugstad, a 2010 prep Mr. Minnesota hockey winner, faced his hometown team for the first time. ... Minnesota LW Dany Heatley's second-period assist was his second point this season. He has no goals in nine games. ... Wild D Keith Ballard was scratched with a head injury.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Caution, this doesn't cone with a plug. 220 is the voltage I think but its hard to hold onto without gloves and be sure to stand on a rubber mat while using it. I'm not sure why I kept tripping breakers either but once I pulled the meter socket and alligator clamped it to the bars in there it quit doing that. Please don't let your animals around this tool while energized, poor sparky, rest his soul. This is a far superior gift to the bathtub toaster I got last year. **** thing tripped the breaker too but everytume I tried to connect it the the meter socket outs I got arrested. It's pretty ridiculous that the neighbors would expect ne to get dressed everytime I need to wire my toaster. But I so live in a crazy neighborhood. Okay Sears, send me my crisp new one dollar bill for writing this review. In all seriousness, this is a great tool, bought it at Xmas for my son on sale for 39.00. Bought the 1/2 drive ft#, the 3/8 ft.#, and the 3/8" inch pound versions for less than the price if one. The Butler Pa. Store has a great manager too. He can't do enough to satisfy a customer. Great tool, great experience. Sears is back.
