General Decorating
Any Suggestions for my Living Room - HELP!
I need help decorating our newly built home. Any suggestions for this living room?
What is it you want to change? Is it the layout, the furniture, the wall colour or all of the above. Are you in need of curtains on the windows? Do you have a budget?
I know you wanted answers, not questions but we need a little more information in order to help you.
I agree...please be more specific and also, additional pics would help.
Since this is your newly built house I expect the wall color is one you've chosen and want to keep. Also your furniture looks fairly new so you likely want to work with what is in the pic.
While it's sort of a backward approach to a color scheme I recommend finding a print that has the colors you currently have. It's easier to start with a print and use that to choose paint and furniture but it's not impossible to do it the other way. If you have paint and fabric swatches to take to a fabric store you can likely find something that will work to use for window treatments and cushion covers to tie your grey and beige colors together. I see a bit of red on the right of the pic - is that an accent color you want to use? Also is that a navy throw on the back of the loveseat? Include those favorite colors in your search for a print. You need something to tie all the different colors together. Prints can include stripes, checks, plaids, florals, or geometrics and it's best to find one that suits your chosen style of decor.
Do you have any art or wall decor you'd like to use? If not take your time to find something that really appeals to you. It's not necessary that art 'match' the colors in the room.
I agree more info will help us to give you more advice.

Thanks everyone. I plan to keep the layout the same. I picked neutral wall colors & furniture so I could add anything to it.
I wondering - what kind of curtains and/or pillows should I get? What should I hang on the wall - that's my main concern - what to hang on the wall!
Too - what should I do with the tv? Mount it? And if I do, what do I hang around it? If I do not mount it, what should you hang above a television? I always have problems decorating around a tv!
If you posted pictures of all four sides of the room it would help greatly in giving advice.
curtains/drapes first. I would use white ones. Then see what room you have for hanging the TV. I wouldn't put anything around the TV. You could paint the TV console black or dark brown like your other furniture and decorate the top with vases, figurines, etc. I like the red and the dark aqua so why not get vases, pillows and throws in those colors. Some lamps would make a nice cozy room.

Could definitely use add'l camera angles and close-ups plus photos of all 4 walls of the room.
I'd mount the TV. From the 1 photo posted, I'm guessing that's not the optimal wall for it, however. JMHO from the limited info.
Good Luck!
you don't say where you live, and that really has a lot to do with what to chose on your windows...
here in mi I use 2 sets of curtains. heavier for winter, and sheers for summer...I've also chosen in the past to layer with minis, and sheers over them...and sun location, privacy, ect...
You can choose to hang your TV on the wall instead of placing it on the table. It will not only look great but also provide space for other furniture items in your living room. Wall holders, gallery displays and wall shelves have also become a trend and are very effective for living rooms. You can avoid adding a separate book shelf and keep books in wall holders instead, along with your vase collection, photo frames and other decorative items; a wall holder can make room for all.

LA gun buyback collects more than 2,000 weapons
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A one-day gun buyback program in Los Angeles brought in 2,037 firearms.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's office says the weapons collected Wednesday included 901 handguns, 698 rifles, 363 shotguns and 75 assault weapons.
Long lines of cars and people showed up at two locations to exchange their weapons for supermarket gift cards of various values ranging up to $200 depending on the type of gun.
The buyback is usually held in May but was moved up in response to the Dec. 14 massacre of students and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

Greensburg —
Having been serving from a food trailer since nearly June last year, Carriage on the Square is finally open for in-store business.
Owner Hans Schreiber started the smokehouse in March 2012, in the building on the square which used to house Adamo's Pizzeria. Extensive renovations have been constructed over the course of the year, including a new ceiling and changes exposing some of the original brick walls.
The trailer had been reasonably successfully, according to Hans, especially during the Fall Festival and warm months, but business has improved considerably now that people can eat inside.
"We're seeing new faces every day," said Hans.
Hans said he plans to keep the trailer for use at the fair, Power of the Past, and the Tree City Fall Festival, but also wants to get settled and established before going through with any big plans.
His goal is to last three years, Hans said.
"After three years, you're usually good to go," Hans said.
Hans said he can only hope to half the success of Storie's, which has lasted more than 30 years.
"You've got to tip your hat for Storie's. He's (owner Don Storie)really set the bar," Hans praised.
Rather than feeling at competition with the neighboring restaurants, Hans said he is grateful to be near such a variety of businesses and food places.
"I believe the square will come back alive," said Hans.
Schreiber feels that the square is attracting the right variety of businesses needed to make the location a bustling centerpiece again. The square won't be the epicenter it once was, Hans conceded, but he hopes the square can at least be a place for unique food places.
Schreiber feels that everyone on the square has been supportive. The surrounding businesses, he said, have offered moral support, and sometimes the restaurants exchange ingredients if somewhere runs out of something.
"It's a nice feeling, it's a good feeling," said Hans, as he described the family-like support nearby businesses have offered, "You do feel the love."
Schreiber, while from Indianapolis, has roots established in Greensburg business.
For many years his aunt, Nettie VanArsdall, owned a dress shop named Stewart's Ladies Apparel, which also sat on the square. Hans said he likes the feeling of having family history in Greensburg.
Schreiber also has history in the food industry and catering. He has wanted to own his own restaurant since he graduated in 2005 from Euphoria Culinary School in West Palm Beach, Fl. He has wandered from job to job in both formal catering and family-style restaurants for going on seven years. The restaurant business is what he describes as a "nomad job" that you have to love to be able to stick with.
"It's how you learn," said Hans, "I tried to use my experience and put it in the shop."
Schreiber said his goals are to offer formal catering and expand his menu. He would like to eventually add pasta and grilled cheese sandwiches to the menu, foods which are trendy in big cities and school campuses.
Mostly, Schreiber said, he wants to be established as having quality food and happy customers.
"I'm just trying to put out the best product. We've gotta be above average," said Hans, "We take baby steps every day."
Right now, the carriage offers ice cream, and smoked pulled chicken and pork sandwiches and dishes, with sauces of varying spices made from scratch (The sauces are named after Hans' mother, aunt, and four uncles).
All the meats are smoked at the restaurant, and if a customer pays with cash, they will receive a five percent discount.
Carriage will be having their official grand opening Feb. 1, though it is open for business right now.
Schreiber wanted to extend his thanks to Ben Smith Construction ad Leff-co Electric Inc., which did the construction on the building. He also wanted to thank nearby businesses for their support and encouragement, including Dawg Haus Diner, Mayasari, Storie's, Picker's Paradise, That Little Something Handmade, Schlemmer's Wholesale, the Hair Factory, the Chamber of Commerce, Mainstreet Greensburg, O'Mara Foods Inc., and Jeff from the recently closed Minear's.
Carriage on the Square is located at 117 N. Broadway, and can be contacted at 812-222-2727

LAWRENCE — State election officials will hold a public meeting on Thursday to explain the work observers for Secretary of State William Galvin will do as the city elects a mayor and City Council on Nov. 5.
Michelle Tassinari, director of Secretary of State's Election Division, announced the meeting in an e-mail she sent Friday to mayoral candidate Daniel Rivera, who earlier asked the state to take over management of the election and post observers in each of the city's 24 polling places.
Rivera, who is challenging incumbent Mayor William Lantigua, said the state's intercession is necessary "to stop the current mayor from running roughshod on the precinct level operations."
Lantigua did not return a phone call seeking comment at the time Rivera made the allegation.
Tassinari rejected Rivera's request, saying it lacked specifics.
The state regularly sends observers to Lawrence on election days, as it did for the preliminary election on Sept. 17, because of the city's history of voting irregularities.
In an interview after the preliminary election, Brian McNiff, a spokesman for Galvin, declined to describe what the observers noted on Sept. 17 or to release documents related to their presence in the city, including any findings or recommendations they may have made.
The Eagle-Tribune responded by filing a Public Records Law request for the documents.
Tassinari said Friday that she will release the documents tomorrow.
Thursday's meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at the Northern Essex Registry of Deeds at 354 Merrimack Street, suite 304. Those planning to attend should use entrance C.

EDMONTON - Obviously, the group in front of us at the Riverside Golf Course the other afternoon didn't read last week's story on slow play. These guys were slower than a slug with a bad limp.
They went from one ball to another to another. One of the guys in the group had a swing so bad, it looked like he was chopping wood with a dull axe. On the first tee, he hit three balls into the trees. I'm sure he must have gone through a dozen balls.
Another member of the group came back to ask if we had found his hat, while yet another came back to see if we had found his sand wedge. And then there was the human rain delay character who checked his putts from all four directions while probably trying to save a triple bogey.
There was nobody in front of them. Three holes clear and, of course, everything backing up behind us like the exit routes out of downtown at rush hour.
The next day I played Fort In View for the first time in a zillion years. Playing with pro shop leader Dave McIntyre, we played 18 holes in 2-1/2 hours. And when we met up with a couple that was a tad slow, they cheerfully waved us through. Now that's how to play golf.
Alberta golf is losing two of its top soldiers. Both Brent Ellenton, executive director of the Alberta Golf Association (AGA) and Phil Berube, executive director of the Alberta PGA (APGA), have both tendered their resignations.
Both organizations have made huge strides during Berube's 15-year watch and Ellenton's 25-year tenure.
The AGA, for instance, has grown from six tournaments to over 30, while the APGA has made major leaps in brand awareness.
"Our organization is so much more professional in all its offerings — whether it's tournaments, seminars, our magazine and membership offerings," said Ellenton.
The AGA also gives out $60,000 a year in scholarships — $550,000 in total since the AGA Foundation began in 1989 — and has spent $272,000 on turf grass research for the betterment of playing conditions in the province.
"The scholarship money is more than even Golf Canada gives out while the turf grass research is leaps and bounds ahead of anyone else in Canada," said Ellenton, who also noted that, among several other things, the AGA has provided over $100,000 to the Alberta Children's Hospital through the Alberta Open, developed an association that has more than $2 million in assets, created beginner golf in schools opportunities, and elite player development initiatives.
As for the AGA, Berube said: "We are now recognized nationally as well as in this theatre. Since I've been here, 16 of our members have won national awards."
Last year alone, Windermere Golf and Country Club's Cam Martens, The Ranch Golf and Country Club's Shawn Piercey and the Derrick Golf and Winter Club's Trevor Goplin were all recognized nationally: Martens as teacher of the year, Piercey as the top retailer, and Goplin as professional of the year.
"We've come a long way since we used to just roll up in a van for a tournament and use the home course's scorecards. We've got our own building now and a website."
But Berube said the most important thing is what hasn't changed.
"Our membership still supports one another like a family," he said. "It's been a lot fun."
Berube is leaving so he can move to Oakville, Ont., to be closer to his family.
While Matt Rollins, Ellenton's assistant, will take over the reins of the AGA, the APGA is accepting applications until late July.
Wetaskiwin's Brett Hawken, 18, made a birdie on his final hole to win the junior division (ages 17-19) of the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour's Nationwide Series at The Links at Spruce Grove with a first round 70 and a final round 77.
First-round leader Patrick Gobran, 17, of Edmonton finished second after opening with a 68 but falling to an 80 in the second round, when the wind started howling. Camrose's Michael Harrison, 18, shot rounds of 77-74 to finish third.
A bigger story took place in the juvenile division (ages 15-16). Red Deer's Brett Pasula came up with rounds of 69-76 to edge both St. Albert's Noah Lubberding (74-72) and Calgary's Alex Corrigan (75-71) by a single stroke.
All three would have won the older division.
Camrose's Andrew Harrison (76-71) finished strong to finish fourth in the 15-16 juvenile division while another Edmonton golfer, Jason Martens, 16, also rallied (77-71) to finish fifth.
If you want a hole-in-one, you apparently have to play the Highlands Golf Club. Matt Zacharias aced No. 16 from 129 yards with his pitching wedge for the course's sixth hole-in-one this season.
Other holes-in-one saw Kelsie Enright ace No. 4 from 125 yards at Camrose; Cardiff club president Roger Fritz got the job done on his home course with a nine-iron from 152 yards on hole No. 4; Thomas Higa used a 50-degree wedge from 112 yards to hole out at the Derrick's seventh hole while playing with Wayne Berney, Dean Mah and Myung Lee; and Don Cook aced No. 8 on men's night at River Ridge with a seven-iron from 158 yards.
Meanwhile, Joyce Carrington aced her favourite hole — No. 3 at Windermere from 100 yards with an eight-iron. It was Joyce's third ace on that hole and her fifth at Windermere. Meanwhile, her husband, golf professional Bill Carrington, is still looking for his first.
Jeff Robbins also obviously likes Windermere's third hole. He aced it from 140 yards with a big sand wedge while playing with Sean Heidebrecht and Justin Nekechuk.
I played The Ranch last week. There were two groups of us. I was paired with Dan Kepley, still the best middle linebacker to play in the CFL, along with Eskimos equipment manager Dwayne Mandrusiak and Global's Kevin Karius.
But the story was in front of us, where Eskimo quarterback Mike Reilly, kicker Grant Shaw and Oilers massage therapist Steve Lines played with Ranch general manager Murray McCourt. Lines shot a 2-under 70.
I haven't played The Ranch enough and forgot what a good test of golf it is. The variety of the holes is what really stands out. No two holes are close to being alike. And it was in pristine shape.

Cosplay in progress!
This is my fem!Loki cosplay so far. The dress was made by a local designer from a design by the ever wonderful robinade. You might have seen the picture floating around on Tumblr.
For the finished thing, I'll also have a dark green cape, green contact lenses, my hair dyed black, black eyeliner/mascara and dark red lip stain, black boots and blue nail varnish.
This is what I've got so far (ignore my face and my room!)

SANTA CLARA This would have been highly improbable a year ago, or two years ago, and certainly in the weeks and months following his selection as the NFL's No. 1 draft choice in 2005.
But Alex Smith is escaping the microscope. He is finally, improbably, becoming a quality starter and potential star, a quarterback whose weekly performances are dissected instead of eviscerated.
What more will it take to overcome that tortured legacy? A victory in today's home opener against the Detroit Lions would help. Wins at Minnesota and New York (Jets) in the ensuing weeks would be beneficial. A trip to the Super Bowl would be huge.
True, Smith will never be mistaken for Joe Montana or Steve Young, and he would have to morph into some combination of Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Robert Griffin III to advance the argument that the 49ers were shrewder and smarter to draft him instead of Aaron Rodgers.
The numbers are what they are. But so is the calendar.
Young didn't become a star until his 30s. At 28, Smith has plenty of time to re-create a favorable 49ers identity and, in the process, endear himself to many of the same people who wanted to chase him out of town including former coaches.
In his first six seasons, he played for six offensive coordinators and two defensive-minded head coaches. If the sideline blisterings he received from Mike Singletary account for his most embarrassing moments just ahead of his demotions to a status below J.T. O'Sullivan, Troy Smith and Shaun Hill the most painful episodes were when Mike Nolan downplayed his shoulder injury and, in essence, questioned his toughness.
In NFL locker rooms, that's usually a lethal blow.
Yet in the 49ers locker room, Smith not only endured, he emerged as a resident stud.
"He is not the person who is going to get led off the cliff with the rest of the lemmings," offensive coordinator Greg Roman said last week. "He understands the purpose of his job is to distribute the ball, execute the offense and help the team win. He's got an innate feel for risk management on the fly. But when I say that I mean he knows when to be aggressive, when to let it rip, and when to make a certain throw."
Smith, who has thrown 185 passes without an interception, is coming off a season in which he led the 49ers to a 13-3 record and within a victory of the Super Bowl. There is potential to improve. Known to have thrown a few wobblers, the former Utah standout has been described by coach Jim Harbaugh as a "game manager." But he also threw with greater precision during the postseason, and this past offseason he joined a list of NFL quarterbacks who work on their mechanics with former Major League Baseball pitching coach Tom House.
"Throwing the football is very much a team thing," Smith said. "A lot to do with protection up front, stepping into clean pockets, throwing. A lot to do with the guys outside, running good routes, making strong catches. It's always a work in progress. You're always trying to get better, and No. 1, making good decisions, making the right decisions."
That's all part of it. Smith could complain for hours legitimately about what it was like laboring behind shaky offensive lines and working with receivers who couldn't get open or hang onto passes. But he won't. He knows what it feels like to be tossed under a bus.
These days he also knows what's it like to be in command of a winning football team, to have a terrific offensive line and talented corps of wide receivers, and to play for a coach who has high expectations but also has his back.
Again, Smith is only 28. He's healthy. He doesn't have to be Montana or Young. He has time to be a very successful, efficient, accomplished Alex Smith.
"When I look into his eyes, I see determination," tight end Vernon Davis said. "He wants it bad."

Q: My 5-year-old daughter, Grace, is allergic to everything under the sun – including peanuts, strawberries and apples. I'm nervous about taking her trick-or-treating this Halloween, but she's really looking forward to it! How do I keep her safe when going door-to-door?
Severn, MD
A: Dear Mercedes,
The only things that should scare you this Halloween are the haunts, not trick-or-treating with your child with food allergies. Rest assured, there are many ways parents can plan and be creative to guarantee that you are an anxiety-free mummy and that your pumpkin is safe and has a lot of fun this Halloween.
If you think your child is up for it, you may want to simply plan an alternative activity, such as having your own party where you can monitor the treats or have a scavenger hunt for safe treats or prizes. Be creative, and make the holiday focus more on costumes, decorations and/or appropriately themed foods such as baked goods that are allergen-free. You can even have him/her trick-or-treat indoors! Have various family members or friends set up behind every door (indoor and outdoor) of the house prepared with allergy-safe treats. You may be surprised at how fun this can get.
If you do decide to go trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, during the next few days, ask your neighbors if they can have alternative non-food items available as treats. Excellent ideas that all kids will love are pencils, stickers, small toys/carnival prizes, coins or glow sticks for older kids. Alternatively, you can provide your neighbors with "safe" candy that is specifically allergen-free for your child that they can hand out when your child comes knocking on their door to keep the spirit alive.
On the actual day of Halloween, make sure your child knows not to eat any treats at all before checking them with you when they get home. Make certain whoever is trick-or-treating with your child carries safe treats in case they want a treat while still out. Try to have your child eat a meal right before leaving for trick-or-treating or going to a Halloween party, so that they won't be as tempted to eat a treat even accidentally before coming home to check with you.
The most important thing that parents can do is to ensure that their child's injectable epinephrine is readily available. For younger children such as yours who will be accompanied, this would be carried by yourself or another responsible adult. For older children, check that they are carrying it on them in an accessible area. Also remind yourself of how to administer the epinephrine if needed. Most injectable epinephrine comes with a trainer pen that you can use to practice the technique beforehand. You may also consider having your child wear a Medic-alert bracelet with their food allergies listed.
Once you return, you may consider swapping unsafe candy (or even the entire bag) with siblings, friends or your own pre-bought items for allergen-safe candy or non-food items. If you want to minimize alternatives, at the very least be extremely careful to check all ingredients in each treat. It can be trick-y due to hidden ingredients and allergen cross-contamination! Also keep in mind that smaller-sized candy may have different ingredients than the comparative full-sized versions, so check each label – every time. If in doubt at all, don't let your child eat it.
For even more ideas, check out this excellent resource published by Kids with Food Allergies. Have a safe, spooktacular Halloween!

The Bible's clear that ôthe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.ö But God has largely been removed from public education. Educational leaders are pushing an agenda that's turning our children from faith in God and His purpose for their lives. Let's take a look at what that agenda is and the solutions put and to it.
This booklet answers a number of key questions about the Common Core State Standards, known as "Common Core." What are they? What is in them? Who is behind them? Will they be used to gather student psycho-social data? And more…

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo (KKCO) The organization is called Light
Gives Heat. The non-profit released a collection of goods made in eastern Africa to be sold in their store during the holiday season. Light Gives Heat is based in Grand Junction and was started in 2007. Money is raised through shop sales here in Grand Junction, and provides income for more than 100 mothers living in Uganda.
"We employ a little over 120 people in Uganda, and our main goal is to provide consistent income where there once wasn't any; and we do that through buying these products, and getting to tell their stories through the sale of the products," said Dave Hansow, co-founder of Light Gives Heat.
The special holiday selection of goods includes scarves, earrings, bowls, and holiday decorations. The Light Gives Heat store is located at Weslo Avenue off 25 Road and will have extended hours through the end of December. It's open from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturdays, and 9 to 5 on weekdays.

Jenn de Lugt, graduate student
With the delicious smell of soup wafting through the Ban Righ Centre, Jenn de Lugt is reminded of what originally attracted her to the small house on Bader Lane.
"The free soup was definitely a draw for me," says Ms de Lugt, who is currently completing her PhD dissertation in the Faculty of Education. "I soon discovered the warmth of the centre in the figurative sense because of the kinship it offers to mature women students."
Ms de Lugt first visited the centre in 2004 shortly after starting her graduate studies. She was struck by the centre's promise of "quiet strength" and took comfort knowing staff members and peers would be there for her if she ever needed academic or personal support.
Ms de Lugt, like many women students who return to university after a time away, faced unique pressures and challenges. A single mother of two children, she found herself trying to balance family, her main priority, with her academic responsibilities. Whenever the stress grew, she dropped by the centre to rest and chat with staff and other students, appreciating their perspectives.
The support she received from the Ban Righ Centre was invaluable as she completed her graduate studies on the relationship between reading difficulties and behavioural problems among elementary school students. In addition to receiving a lot of encouragement along the way, Ms de Lugt used the Ban Righ Centre's welcoming spaces for focus groups and one-on-one interviews.
Ms de Lugt has recently accepted a position at the University of Regina as an assistant professor of inclusive/special education. She quickly shared the news with the Ban Righ Centre because "they are like family to me."
Ms de Lugt and other mature women students will tell their inspirational stories at the Ban Righ Centre's annual spring celebration on Wednesday, May 2.

No Victor Moses? No problem. Wigan Athletic have bounced back from their opening-day defeat by Chelsea -- and the subsequent poaching of their best player by... Chelsea -- with a 2-0 win at newly-promoted Southampton. With both teams expected to be in the thick of the relegation battle, this was as close to a six-pointer as we're going going to get in August.
The hosts dominated the first half, but couldn't make their superiority count against Ali Al-Habsi in the Wigan net. And they were made to pay for it shortly after the break. Shaun Maloney slipped in Franco di Santo with a neat little pass in the box and the Argentinian striker lashed home, nearly taking Kelvin Davis' head off in the process. And the visitors were able to kill the match off as the clock wound down, springing new signing Arouna Kone clear down the left channel. The former Malaga man made no mistake, firing into the bottom corner to secure an important three points.
After an impressive display against Manchester City in the opening match, the Saints will be disappointed to have dropped points at home, especially against the likes of Wigan. They've now lost two on the trot, one of three Premier League teams not to have recorded a point yet this season.

Update on George
Just got word that George did fine in surgery Thursday and is recuperating well so far. He is resting as well as he can. I have no idea at this point how long he will be in the hospital but so far - so good.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Donny, I'll second that.
I was just thinking about George and was wondering how he was doing.
This is really good to hear, thanks for letting us know.

In which I offer my post-fight review and analysis of UFC 160 from top to bottom and add a lot of extraneous thoughts.
If you like this sort of thing, subscribe to MMA Nation on YouTube and get all of my videos as soon as they're uploaded.
Topics include:
- How a card with so many great fights could end up being such a crappy viewing experience
Too many ads on Fuel plus too many fights shown twice make for a long evening filled with deadspots that sucked much of the fun out of some really good MMA action. Let us pray that FS 1 will have a better slate of advertisers. Thate M&M's Meat Loaf ad alone is criminally bad.
- The great grappling showcased on the card
- Pretty much just a facts review of the card, sorry for those who were wanting me to get cosmic again.
- Star reviews for each fight on the card from the beginning of the Facebook prelims to the end of the Fuel TV headliner
- Some potshots at the tired, stale, played-out why won't it die Ultimate Fighter reality show format.
- Speculation on what the hell happened to Feijao.

Bullpen Banter's Chicago White Sox 2012 Top 15 Prospects
Jared Mitchell, OF, Chicago White Sox Bats: L Throws: L HT: 6-0 WT: 190 DOB: October 13, 1988 In terms of pure tools, Jared Mitchell was one of the premier talents available in the 2009 draft. The 23rd overall pick, he earned a $1,200,000 bonus. He could have gone even higher if he had concentrated on baseball in college: he also played football, and didn't turn his attention towards baseball full-time until last spring. As a result, he was rather raw as college players go. Even so, he made dramatic improvements last spring, as his LSU numbers above show: note the improved power production along with a much higher walk rate last year compared to 2008. Mitchell is an amazing athlete with excellent speed and plenty of physical strength. He doesn't show much home run power yet, but many scouts think he'll develop at least 10-15 home run power to go with 40-50 steal potential. Unlike most raw tools players, Mitchell works counts and draws plenty of walks, boosting his on-base percentage. His swing is very smooth at times, but he goes through phases where he can't make contact, giving him a high strikeout rate that could be an issue as he moves up. He is still learning how to steal bases, and scouts have sometimes criticized his outfield routes, although I think the latter issue is overblown and reviews on his glovework in the Sally League were positive. He's intelligent and coaches praise his makeup and work ethic. I really like Mitchell a lot, and while he has work to do refining his game, his upside is very high and I think he's already made a great deal of progress refining it. My main worry is that the White Sox will rush him before he's ready. Grade B.
His bonus is $1.2 million and he's being assigned to Kannapolis for whom he will debut on Thursday.
17. Jared Mitchell, OF, Louisiana State The Good: The best college athlete in the draft by a mile; he's made consistent progress at LSU as far as his hitting, especially in developing a more patient approach and finding his power; he's plus-plus runner and a true weapon on the basepaths. The Bad: He's far more raw than most players out of a major college, with lots of swings and misses in his game; he is not an instinctual outfielder. In A Perfect World He Becomes: He has true impact potential, but comes with a fair share of risk. Goldstein

In Part One, I left the Plattsburgh train station and headed south on Amtrak's The Adirondack, then west on the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago.
There, I saw Wrigley Field and the Museum of Science and Industry, then spent an afternoon touring Frank Lloyd Wright homes in nearby Oak Park. Come Monday, my wife and I hopped a subway to Union Station and continued the journey to Calilfornia.
The California Zephyr, the train that most closely replicates the route of the original Transcontinental Railroad, left precisely on time at 2 p.m. We took a diagonal course southwestward toward Omaha. Urban skyline gave way to suburbs and then the agrarian heartland. Instead of skyscrapers, grain elevators dominated trackside, with tilled fields stretching far into the distance. Crossing the Mississippi River, we left Illinois for Iowa.
Towns straddled the track, often just a block or two on each side. Names emblazoned on depots or water towers identified Mendota, Lockridge, Ottumwa and others. We ate dinner (pork chops, baked chicken, apple torte) with a couple from England in the midst of a three-week rail tour of the United States. A beautiful red and purple sunset accompanied the meal. Streetlights, blinking red traffic signals, and back-lit sky delineated cities during night travel.
Around 10:30 p.m., we crossed the Missouri River into Nebraska. In Omaha, a hotel van picked us up at the train station, and we prepared to fit all we could into our 24-hour stop.
In the midst of the havoc wreaked by the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln delivered a mandate for a railroad connecting America's Atlantic and Pacific coasts. He chose a route beginning in Council Bluffs, Iowa, across the river from Omaha. The Union Pacific Railroad was granted the franchise to build west, while the Central Pacific began in California and headed east.

Former policeman admits to stabbing wife
A former policeman admitted today that he did stab his wife to death at her town centre hairdresser's salon. Ivan Esack pleaded guilty to manslaughter. But he said he didn't murder her because of his diminished responsibility.
A forensic psychiatrist told Maidstone Crown Court that he was suffering from personality disorders that could provide an explanation for the killing. And his lawyer said someone with his medical condition cannot be convicted of murder. Derek Johnson reports.

Cats ink pair of depth players to two-way deals.
Happy Birthday, Iggy, please pick BOS! VAN, COL vie for Iginla. Caron gets qualifying offer, raise. Trotman, Brinkley share a secret. USHL now as good as Canadian junior programs. DAL gets Spezza,...
Blueline blues, Miller in. Thornton, Caron learn to share. Rask's taste in music. Behind the B and outtakes. Connors, Cozens sit on roundtable on blog sexism. Billet parenting. Parros, Habs lead...
Call them "fringe players" if you must, but the Tampa Bay Lightning have a few quality players that didn't quite make the cut for the top 25, but deserve to be mentioned anyways.
Did something happen yesterday? We've got whatever that was covered in today's edition of the Tracks.
The Canadian Hockey League's ban on import goaltenders is not the answer to Canada's goaltending woes.
Despite the Lightning sitting in 13th place in the Eastern Conference, Tampa Bay Coach Jon Cooper believes his new team can make a late season playoff push.
After being dismissed from the Boston College hockey team on Tuesday, would be freshman forward Frank Vatrano will return to the EJHL's Boston Junior Bruins.
For 4 years Habs fans have been watching the progress of Max Pacioretty. Now we're treated to watching one of the best left wingers in the game.
Leblanc raised expectations with a solid first pro season after major surgery in the offseason. Can he impress us enough to move up the rankings next year?

Today's weather forecast: Dry Like Toast
L.A. is a narco-fueled city, with dispensaries that shovel out the stuff by the bushel, doctors who double as dealers, and dealers who've gone tech to move their goods. Even with its quasilegal status, pot is still big on the black market, and in MacArthur Park meth is outselling coke and heroin these days. But there are a panoply of other ways and means by which Angelenos are altering their minds. Herewith, a taste.
Vicodin Nicknamed hydro, norco, and vikes, this synthetic and often counterfeit opiate is available for purchase on Craigs-list, along with warnings from sellers like "Don't call if you're a cop."
Salvia A Central American herb, Salvia divinorum is smoked in shamanistic rituals. Rec users boast of going into a state where "injuries can be sustained without feeling pain."
Kratom Chewed by addicts to alleviate the effects of kicking, Kratom leaf is a natural, opiate-like stimulant that can be as addictive as Vicodin.
Adderall The pharmaceutical psychostimulant is popular with college students and club kids pulling all-nighters. Lindsay Lohan recently tried to abort her court-appointed rehab stint when staffers threatened to confiscate her supply.
Nitrous Oxide Used by ravers who want to feel dizzy, "laughing gas" is sold in shops that illegally label it as a component for welding torches. Small whipped cream chargers are a common source as well.
Blue Dollar Combining MDMA (Ecstasy) with caffeine, benzylpiperazine, or other stimulants, these pill cocktails sell like Frappuccinos at raves.
Spice Pot on steroids. The shredded plant material (various kinds are used) is mixed with synthetic cannabinoids and sold online as K2, Yucatan Fire, or Moon Rocks.
Smiles Like dropping mescaline with an Ecstasy shooter, the popular chemical compound 2C-1-a white powder that's snorted-debuted a decade ago in Dutch drug bars. Increased emergency room visits in L.A. are blamed on the substance.
Bath Salts Sold in packets with names like Crazy Train and Scarface, the synthetic stimulant mimics methamphetamine. Last year a user chewed on a man's face.
Molly Pure MDMA, it's for drug connoisseurs who disdain Ecstasy cocktails as just another version of the New Coke.
Afghan Incense A legal compound resembling hash, it's featured in YouTube videos, where bong-wielding men smoke the stuff in what appear to be their parents' basements.
Special K Injected as a pain blocker in medical procedures, Ketamine is snorted by users seeking to "slip into the K Hole"-conscious but paralyzed, like watching a Michael Bay movie.

With the 26th pick in the 2010 SB Nation NHL Mock Draft, our Washington Capitals bloggers at Japers' Rink select...
Brock Nelson, Warroad High School (Minnesota)
Nelson, a 6-3, 205-pound center from the same high school that produced T.J. Oshie, is described as a "hard-skating power-forward" with "soft hands and an excellent shot" that projects to be a second-line center. He doesn't have "any glaring weaknesses as he plays well in all three zones" and will "make his presence known with his strength and ability to get to the net." Put it all together and Nelson "has the size, speed, competitive level, and even bloodlines to be a very good pro." Bloodlines, you say? Yep - Nelson's uncle is former Caps and Miracle-on-Icer Dave Christian, a member of one of pucks' premiere families... and we know how George McPhee loves those bloodlines.
The next pick belongs to the Montreal Canadiens.

Getting from Genes to Function in Lung Disease
Executive Summary
In the soon-to-be "post-Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS)" era, many novel genes or genetic variants have been identified and implicated in the pathogenesis of lung disease. Yet, a large proportion of the genetic variance remains unexplained. New approaches need to be undertaken to hone in on and characterize functional (disease causing) variation, its role in disease pathogenesis, and to fully characterize the genetic architecture of rare and complex lung diseases. Such strategies will need to incorporate genomic approaches that integrate studies of individual genes with pathways and regulatory networks, and with model systems for elucidating function in a biological context.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a workshop on September 3-4, 2009 to bring together experts in genetics, genomics, proteomics, networks, and informatics along with experts in pulmonary biology and medicine, with the goal of cross-fertilization and generation of needed next-step initiatives that can be translated into research needs and opportunities for NHLBI in the important scientific area of "Getting from Genes to Function in Lung Disease." Many of the attendees represented major NHLBI-funded consortia in lung disease. In addition, promising young K12 scholars developing careers in the genetics and genomics of lung disease were invited to attend and participate in the discussions.
Following a series of overview talks on lung genetics, lung diseases, and extended phenotyping (phenomics), there were state-of-the art presentations on selected topics including: data integration, system genetics, functional validation in model organisms and in humans, and translational and integrative genomics in the clinical setting. Concepts helpful for framing future research opportunities were reviewed, short and long range strategic plans developed, and new research directions and scientific opportunities identified and prioritized.
Recommended Priority Research Areas
Future research related to each of these categories should be addressed using integrated approaches across disciplines (genetics, bioinformatics, systems biology, and phenotype/clinical) that include one or more of the following: "-omic" technologies, systems genetics/biology and pathway/network analysis, animal models lung disease, human studies in ethnically/racially diverse populations, multiple lung diseases, mining of data from existing resources. The latter could include, but is not limited to, data from clinical trial cohorts and population-based cohorts, studies of transcriptional and proteomic profiling in relevant tissues, mouse models of lung disease, and repositories of banked tissues.

Guyard-Guillot, 31, who fell during the final scene in which performers engage in an aerial battle while wearing safety harnesses attached to a cable, was a citizen of France and resident of Las Vegas.
As previously reported, performances of KÀ have been canceled until further notice.
According to a press statement from the Clark County Office of Coroner/Medical Examiner, "The manner of her death was accidental. The Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is continuing the investigation into how this accident occurred. The OSHA investigation could take up to six months to complete."
A statement on the company's Facebook page reads, "Our thoughts are with her family and the entire Cirque du Soleil family." The company is currently working with the appropriate authorities and is offering full cooperation.
Guyard-Guillot also taught at a school called Cirquefit, a Las Vegas program for children. Donations are being accepted for "the children's future" and can be made at ForSasoun.com.

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder, calling the rise in deaths from overdoses of heroin and prescription painkillers an "urgent and growing public health crisis," is outlining a series of efforts by the Justice Department to combat the epidemic.
At a time of growing public acceptance of marijuana use, Holder is drawing attention to the negative consequences of heroin. In a video message released early Monday, Holder said heroin overdose deaths increased by 45 percent between 2006 and 2010.
"When confronting the problem of substance abuse, it makes sense to focus attention on the most dangerous types of drugs," Holder said. "And right now, few substances are more lethal than prescription opiates and heroin."
Holder added, "Addiction to heroin and other opiates — including certain prescription painkillers — is impacting the lives of Americans in every state, in every region, and from every background and walk of life — and all too often, with deadly results."
Holder said Justice Department officials, including those in the Drug Enforcement Administration, and other federal, state and local leaders are working "aggressively" to keep heroin and other illicit drugs off the streets and bring traffickers to justice.
Since 2011, the DEA has opened more than 4,500 heroin-related investigations, Holder said, and as a result the amount of heroin seized along the country's southwest border with Mexico increased by more than 320 percent over the past five years.
Holder also said the DEA is expanding its education programs for pharmacists, doctors and other health-care providers and urging first responders to carry naloxone, a drug that when administered quickly can restore breathing to somebody suffering from a heroin overdose. Seventeen states and the District have amended their laws in recent years to increase access to naloxone, the Justice Department said.

The Idaho Vandals beat Utah State 84-82 on Friday to advance to the Western Athletic Conference finals.
Addie Schivo hit two free throws with :04 remaining to give the Vandals a two point lead. Utah State's ensuing throw-in resulted in a turnover, giving the Vandals a chance to play in Saturday's championship game.
Stacey Barr led Idaho with 26 points and six rebounds. Four other Vandals scored in double figures. Schivo, who hit the game-winning free throws, was a perfect 2-2 from the line. She also made the only field goal she attempted during the game - a 3-pointer at 7:58 that gave Idaho a 57-56 lead.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Fashion doesn't exactly abide by regular schedules. So while the rest of the country was enjoying a luxurious long weekend, models were scampering around town proving that their runway struts (and figures) were sharp as ever. On a breezy, perfect sort of NYC Saturday, Andrew Weir of ACW Worldwide was casting for a bevy of fashion week shows, including Ruffian, Y-3, and Zac Posen's Z Spoke at the Hudson Hotel (to the alternately pleased and gawkish stares of hotel guests). Marc Jacobs favorite Hannah Holman stopped by on the early side. "Everyone loves fashion week, but everybody hates all the work getting up to there, castings, fittings," Holman divulged. "Fittings can be the worst. You sometimes are standing there for hours while they literally make the garments on you. That's why we're all skinny and depleted when it comes to Paris! And we're eating pasta everyday!"
Weir was apt to agree. "I love seeing the girls when they're in New York," he said. "They're coming off summer, so they're always so fresh." Healthy being model-dom's mantra of the moment, Weir was particularly on the lookout for new girls with a glow about them. Stephanie Rad of Marilyn was making waves with her golden good looks, but there were plenty of fresh faces from Holland and Norway to launch a Dutch/Scandinavian invasion. That's not to say many new girls make the first cut. "I might find one, maybe two gems," Weir noted. Particularly if "old" hats like Diana Moldovan, Daiane Conterato, and Bruna Tenorio promptly proved they're not going anywhere with one pro sashay down the test runway. But even Chanel haute couture closer Iris Strubegger (left) was better than to think she had any job security. "Well, you never know. The next new girl may come along and you're no longer at the top anymore," the Austrian beauty said. "So I try to stay just as excited and try my best for every show and casting as when I first started."

I have a 60D and have got very fluid with it, altho the 9 AF points all correspond to a spot on the D-pad. 11 Is going to be interesting to choose with a D-pad.
Overall I like the control layout of the 6D a lot better than the 60D, although it takes a bit of getting used to - I've had it for a week, and I'm still pressing the wrong buttons out of habit. However when it comes to AF point selection it's just not as good. The 60D was really fast with the D-pad + set button. The 6D doesn't work like that. You have to "scroll" through the points, and the diagonal buttons are almost pointless, since you normally hit one of the other directions instead.
Since this is a positive list though, the way the zoom button works is awesome. You can set it to default to any zoom level you want, and with one press check your focus. Way faster then the 60D move your thumb all over the place dance.
Other button notes: the buttons have a nicer "feel" to them. They feel a little more real, like you are actually pressing something. Although on the D-pad this seems to have made the diagonals impossible to hit as noted above. The DOF preview button while still in a bad location, feels much nicer.
And switching to movie mode no longer takes a stupid amount of turning.

How to change the avatar in the photo?
Can have any idea ?
What avatar in what photo?
change avatars, photos user. Or can something like a plug-in download photo album to tie?
It's not clear what you mean! You can already change the buddypress avatar to your photo.
For Albums etc. look in the buddypress extend section: http://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/?search=photo
These plugins are not suitable. They basically change the name , i can prescribe and hands in a pattern. It is necessary that the user could upload photos to their album and this photo was on all pages as avatars. I was thinking how it make downloading a plug-in album that the user can upload 5 photos and then choose the one that will be essential. And then it will be instead of the Avatar. Last Uploaded or will be major. And if the album is empty then the standard plug output. ?s a combine or something. Avatar settings or upgrade to a photo album. Can anyone do it? Or are some ideas from digging under the implementation of this ?
P.S. Download photo instead of avatar and without the plug can be.
Something's getting lost in translation. Avatars are the images representing the members of the BuddyPress installation. Albums are photo galleries. What exactly are you asking about? WordPress has forums in different languages, perhaps there is one in your language.
Forum on my language dead. For example – How to facebook, there is a photo album, there are loaded all the photos, one of which is the main. Or the user can choose which of the photos will be major. And if you do not have any photos that will be shown a standard plug "no photo". I thought I might have a solution with a check for uploaded avatar ?
@Aces Andrew mean that the last uploaded photo to his account album (like BP album plugin) may become automaticly in user avatar. Also the option for users to choose from his account album any photo as avatar, example, clicking a " set this photo as your user avatar" buttom. Sounds very tricky.
Better a sort of gallery of custom avatars in user profile/change avatar/ to choose from any time. An idea how to achive that?

Welcome to Using English.
In general, it's easier to answer questions like this when we have a full sentence.
However, "release date" is very standard.
I"m sure it's possible to write a sentence where "release day" is the better choice, but such a sentence is not occurring to me at the moment.

Reviews for Baked Cheddar Eggs & Potatoes
Sort By :
I just made this for the first time. I sautéed some peppers with the potatoes and it came out amazing. This is my new favorite.
I have made this recipe, but instead just put a cover over the pan after adding the eggs, no need for heating up the oven on a hot day.
I LOVE this recipe! I used baked potatoes from the night before...they fry up fast and are a great way to use up leftovers...I also used dried cilantro since I didn't have any parsley. This is so easy...a go to recipe for sure...think I'll add bacon next time...but it is excellent without it!
As soon as you figure out just how to get the eggs done right, this dish becomes a regular! I like to saute ham, peppers and onions and add them to the mix.
I've made this a few times after seeing it in the magazine. HOLY COW is it good! It has taken me a few tries to know exactly how long to cook it to get to the eggs to the desired doneness but once I found that "sweet spot", I was totally in love!

A Logansport landlord who owns at least 35 properties in the city hasn't been heard from in about two months, according to city officials.
Renters have told the city that they haven't been able to contact Jeff Murray, a landlord who the city has repeatedly brought to court, about paying rent or with property concerns. City officials say that while his absence is concerning, this just adds to a list of growing issues they've had with Murray.
George Franklin, code enforcement officer, said he first became aware of Murray's lack of response when renters called his office and said they weren't able to get in touch with their landlord.
"Nobody has seen him in Logansport since the first Monday in December," Franklin said.
Murray is registered as the owner of 35 properties in the city, according to the county's geographic information system.
The renters have been calling and asking for help with repairs, according to Building Commissioner Bill Drinkwine.
"He's not responding to any reports of needs in some of his properties," Drinkwine said.
Steve Schwering, a Logansport real estate agent, said that Murray recently asked him to become property manager for a portion of his properties.
As property manager, Schwering said he is responsible for collecting rent for those properties.
He said his office could also field questions from other renters who cannot get in touch with Murray to pay their rents.
Drinkwine said the latest development with Murray is troubling, but it's a continuation of concerns with him.
"The city's been concerned with Mr. Murray for quite some time," Drinkwine said.
In March 2009, the city handed down a $5,000 repeat offender fine to Murray for trash violations. At the board of works meeting at that time, Murray challenged the idea that he had received a letter informing him of the violation and stated that the confirmation signature was not his.
Murray has appeared in court against the city and at meetings since 2010 for buildings that the city said were unsafe. He was also the owner of a building off Sixth Street, which the city had repeatedly asked to be torn down. The building was destroyed by a fire on Thanksgiving Day last year.
Drinkwine said the city has often sent notices to Murray to appear before the Board of Public Works and Safety and has him on the docket about two times a month.
"Our office's position is that he is a difficult landlord," Drinkwine said.
After sending notices to Murray, Drinkwine said the city often runs into communication problems.
"The city has constantly said in the court it's a big problem that we have a lack of response and a lack of communication," Drinkwine said.
In terms of his absence, Drinkwine said the city would only be able to issue citations and letters of request for Murray's appearance if one of his properties is deemed unsafe or in violation of
the health code.
"The city can only do so much," Drinkwine said.
The Pharos-Tribune attempted to contact Murray, but he could not be reached for comment.

Charges were filed against Deja Vu by the Union Township Police Department as a result of an undercover investigation conducted between April-June, 2010.
A former strip club in Clermont County is gong to be transformed into a place for children.
Officials in Union Township say the site of the former Deja Vu strip club, which closed in December of 2011, will be turned in to a Boys and Girls Club. The facility is located on Old SR 74.
The transformation is in the early stages and was approved by the Union Township Community Improvement Corporation earlier this month.

Robber drags woman down street for her bag
Updated 11:50am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News
A WOMAN was dragged down a Wickford street by a robber.
The victim was returning from work and walking down an alleyway off Wick Beech Avenue when she was approached from behind by a man.
He pushed her to the ground and dragged her as he pulled her bag.
He ran off towards South Beech Avenue with the navy blue Longchamp bag.
It contained a red music player, an e-reader, glasses and a ring.
The attack happened just before 7pm on Monday, February 10.
Investigating Officer, Dc Alex Gartshore, said: "We're looking to speak with other commuters and evening shoppers who were in the area near the railway line and Southend Road between 6:45-7:15pm and who saw the attack or a man running down a street.
"The thief may have dumped the bag so we're also keen to find the blue Longchamp holdall which may be lying in bushes or a nearby ditch.
"This woman is angry with this man for stealing her bag and her possession, especially her two sets of glasses.
"She wants him caught and brought to justice just as we do. We therefore ask people to contact us with the information that can lead to the attacker's identification and subsequent arrest."
The man was of slim build and approximately 5ft 10ins tall. At the time, he was wearing a hoodie.
The woman sustained minor head, arm and knee injuries.
Anyone with information in connection with this robbery is urged to contact detectives at Basildon police station on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

InTheKnowOk wrote:Many of these reports that are similar never or hardly have an updated version maybe a week later saying 'robber caught and arrested'. Criminals pick their time and location well. With it being dark out, and lots of escape routes and alleyways, probably no one saw this attack. The best bet is the bag being find and DNA can be taken perhaps. But it's unlikely this person will ever be caught.
Scum!! ... Hope he's caught and the woman recovers from her terrifying ordeal!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A person familiar with the deal says the Washington Nationals have agreed to a minor league contract with outfielder Rick Ankiel.
The person spoke to The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because the Nationals had yet to announce the signing.
If added to the 40-man roster, Ankiel would have a $1.25 million, one-year contract and could make $1.5 million in performance bonuses. The performance bonuses are the same as his deal last year with the Nationals, plus an additional $250,000 for 400 plate appearances.
The 32-year-old Ankiel batted .239 with nine home runs and 37 RBIs in 122 games last season with Washington. He gives the Nationals depth at center field.
Ankiel has also played for St. Louis, Kansas City and Atlanta over nine major league seasons.
