We all know the Steelers of the past five years haven't exactly been the Steelers of old. As Ben Roethlisberger has become one of the league's most dangerous passers, Mike Tomlin and Co. have allowed Big Ben to chuck it more and more each season, no matter how un-Steeler-like it might seem to throw 40 times a game.
And though the Steel City's beefy quarterback has come through more often than not throughout his career, bringing home two Lombardi Trophies in three Super Bowl appearances, the mounting weight upon his shoulders finally might be too much to bear.
There's no doubt about Pittsburgh's willingness to lean on Roethlisberger's arm in recent years — he has dropped back to pass 35 times or more in 20 of the last 28 games in which he has played and is averaging a whopping 39.6 pass attempts in five games this season — but the Steelers haven't given him much support in the process.
For years, the Steelers took Roethlisberger's uncanny pocket presence and scrambling ability for granted and neglected to add top talent to the offensive line. Until 2011, Pittsburgh had drafted only one offensive lineman (Maurkice Pouncey: first round, 2010) higher than the third round since Roethlisberger entered the league in 2004.
Not surprisingly, Big Ben's offensive front has consistently been among the most porous in the league — Pittsburgh has ranked in the top 10 in sacks allowed in every season since 2006 and Roethlisberger has been sacked almost three times per game during that span. Only once in those six years was he sacked fewer than 40 times, when he played 12 games in 2010 because of suspension and was sacked 32 times.
Yes, Roethlisberger's style of play contributes to the high sack totals, and the team has taken efforts to beef up the QB's protection in recent years, spending two second-round picks and two first-rounders on offensive linemen in the past three drafts. But the lack of depth behind the young talent has reared its ugly head this season in the face of several injuries (most notably rookie OG David DeCastro and Pro Bowl C Maurkice Pouncey) and promises to make for another sack-filled campaign.
Unfortunately for the Steelers, their willingness to lean on Big Ben without providing him with proper protection might be closing Pittsburgh's title window surprisingly quickly. Don't look now, but Roethlisberger is already 30 years old and has been sacked more times (324) than every other active quarterback except Mark Brunell (390) and Matt Hasselbeck (336). And despite his durability and toughness to play through pain, injuries — like last year's high ankle sprain — take away his mobility, the one thing that makes him truly a threat as a quarterback. Considering the beating he has taken and his increased weight over the years (Is there any way he actually weighs in at his listed 241 pounds?), it wouldn't be shocking to see his career end before age 35.
In the meantime, the Steelers' aging and nicked-up roster will be weighing down Roethlisberger's saddlebags more than ever in 2012. The running game has been among the league's worst, producing 75 or fewer yards in four of five games this season. Meanwhile, injuries to key defensive starters have put the onus on Big Ben to be absolutely perfect, which he hasn't quite been.
One errant throw was enough to squander an otherwise excellent performance in the season opener, as Tracy Porter's pick-six sealed a Broncos victory. On Thursday night in Nashville, an interception late in the first half and a missed receiver on a third-down scramble in the final minutes were costly enough to doom Pittsburgh. Even Big Ben's near-perfect performances aren't necessarily enough to win anymore — the Steelers fell to lowly Oakland in Week Three despite their QB completing 73.5 percent of his passes for 384 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions.
With the team now sitting at 2-3, its worst five-game start since 2006, don't expect Tomlin to let up on Roethlisberger's reins anytime soon. Sure, carrying this team is nothing new for Big Ben, but Tomlin had better be careful. He might just run his star QB into the ground.

Reviews (5)
"the best"
My vet recommends Pyrhana and he is right. It is the best.
"Best Fly Spray"
My trainer told me about pyrahna, tried it and got addicted! Only product to work longer than a short trail ride for me. I did hear the manufacturer was having issues with skin irritation on horses, but is fine to use now. I was thankful that I had a full bottle when that happened!
"Best Fly Spray!"
This is the only fly spray I've found that actually works for more than a few hours. I use it on my horses about every 3 days, and it keeps them pest-free. Love it!
"could not use"
I used the spray not the aerosol. The flies only stayed away with daily application, and by the third day all horses had swollen legs and peeling skin.
"Best fly product ever!"
People! Don't waste your time, energy, and money on trying different things....a farrier turned me on to pyranha and I will only use this product. You only have to use a very small amount and flies/mosquitos do not even land on your horse! The label says lasts 1-2 days....this is day 4 with no flies! Easy to use as spray or wipe...oil base....makes coat soft and shiny! I will never waste my money or time again....the best product and the best price!!!!

Rabaul and Montevideo Maru Memorial
The Society
The Rabaul and Montevideo Maru Society was established in 2009 to represent the interests of the families of the soldiers and civilians captured in Rabaul and the New Guinea Islands after the Japanese invasion in January 1942, many of whom are believed to have perished on the Montevideo Maru when it was torpedoed off the Philippines on 1 July 1942. The major objective of the Society was to have a memorial erected in memory of those lost. This objective was achieved when a memorial was unveiled at the Australian War Memorial on 1 July 2012. Following this, the members of the Society resolved that it should be wound up, with its assets and remaining objectives being transferred to the Papua New Guinea Association of Australia.
Vale Lorna Johnston
Lorna (Whyte) Johnston passed away on 30 September 2013, aged 98 years. She was an outstanding Australian who inspired so many with her courage and joy for life. As an Army nurse Lorna was taken prisoner by the Japanese in January 1942 in Kokopo, East New Britain, PNG, and endured over three years captivity in Japan. A true Australian, Lorna's spirit of forgiveness was heartfelt.
Lorna was a generous supporter of the Rabaul and Montevideo Maru Memorial from the start, always remembering those who had been in Rabaul with her. Along with Sister Berenice Twohill, Lorna inspired the ABC telemovie Sisters of War. What a tremendous ambassador for Australia!
Our special thoughts go to her family.
Lorna's funeral will be held in Auckland, New Zealand, on Friday 4 October 2013.
More information about her life is in this article from The Aucklander.
70th Anniversary - 2012
The 70th Anniversary of the sinking of the Montevideo Maru was marked by the dedication of a memorial at the Australian War Memorial and a Commemorative Luncheon. Further information is here and photos of the Memorial are here. A DVD of the luncheon and dedication is now available: details here.
The National Archives of Australia has also launched a new website featuring a Japanese passenger list for the Montevideo Maru, recently gifted to Australia from the Japanese Government. See more here. For an English translation of the Japanese passenger list, click here.

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is helping Midwest soybean farmers combat a parasitic roundworm – the soybean cyst nematode, sometimes referred to as the "billion dollar pest." And they are using the soybean itself to do it.
Though area farmers got in a little fieldwork before the rains returned, much of that work came to a halt last week when heavy rains hit the area.
This tractor and tillage equipment sits stranded in a soggy field north of Vandalia. Very little of the state's corn has been planted.
Illinois corn growers intend to plant 11.9 million acres of corn in 2014, down 1 percent from 2013.
Soybean planted area is expected to total 9.5 million acres, up 1 percent from the previous year.
Sorghum is expected to be planted in 30,000 acres, up 30 percent from 2013.
Winter wheat area seeded last fall is estimated at 740,000 acres, down 15 percent from the previous year.
The area planted to oats is expected to total 35,000 acres, down 12 percent from 2013.
Producers surveyed across the United States intend to plant an estimated 81.5 million acres of soybeans in 2014, up 6 percent from last year and an all-time record high, according to the Prospective Plantings report released this week by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
With the arrival of warmer and dryer weather, farmers have been in the fields this past week doing tillage work and applying anhydrous ammonia.
The beginning of fieldwork means that motorists will be more likely to encounter tractors as they move to the fields. Use caution, and give them plenty of room.
Early spring temperatures were cool throughout the state for the month of March.
Many farmers were moving machinery out of storage and getting it ready for the season.
Temperatures averaged 33.3 degrees, which is 7.6 degrees below normal.
Statewide precipitation averaged 1.49 inches, 1.61 inches below normal. Topsoil moisture was rated at 2 percent very short, 15 percent short, 78 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture was rated 7 percent very short, 29 percent short, 62 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus.
Illinois to receive specialty crop grants
The Illinois Department of Agriculture is now accepting proposals for federal specialty crop grants.
The agency has been notified that Illinois will receive a share of the funds and will be instructed to begin the proposal selection process. The exact amount of the award has not been determined.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently released the preliminary 2012 Census of Agriculture results.
Key findings include an increase in the value of agricultural products sold in the United States, totaling $394.6 billion in 2012, which was up 33 percent ($97.4 billion) from 2007. The number of farms and land in farms were down slightly, but held steady. Additionally, agriculture is becoming more diverse.
The 2012 census reported several historic changes in value of sales for agriculture producers in the United States:
Cold conditions continue in state
Cold winter conditions continued throughout the state during the month of February.
Temperatures averaged 18.8 degrees, which was 11.4 degrees below normal.
Precipitation was slightly below normal in the Southwest and Southeast districts, but slightly above normal in the rest of the state. Statewide precipitation averaged 2.28 inches, which was 0.35 inches above normal.

With the shutdown in its ninth day, more Americans are feeling the effects. And investors are increasingly worried over the hitting the debt ceiling next week. ABC's Tahman Bradley has the latest.
Despite a 10-minute phone call, President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner remain miles apart on the shutdown.
The President again said no negotiations before the debt ceiling is increased and the government is reopened.
"Let's stop the excuses. Let's take a vote in the house. Let's end this shutdown right now," said President Obama.
"If there is unconditional surrender by Republicans, he'll sit down and talk to us. That's not the way our government works." Said Rep John Boehner, Speaker of the House.
The two men are locked into their positions as the country edges closer to what economists call an economic catastrophe. In just 8 days the U.S. will run out of money to pay its bills unless Congress raises the so-called debt ceiling.
The markets are already shocked. The Dow is down 900 points over the past three weeks. And there's fear interest rates on new mortgages and car loans will skyrocket.
"Warren Buffet likened default to a nuclear bomb, a weapon too horrible to use," said President Obama.
Among those being hurt by the government shutdown - America's heroes and their families. The VA has furloughed thousands of workers and military death benefits have been put on hold.
The government sends military families a $100,000.00 check when a loved one dies. But since the start of the shutdown, no payments have been made.
I say to those families, your government has let you down in a time of your need. There is no excuse for this," Senator Lindsey Graham.
Thankfully, a private foundation has stepped forward to provide the families with an advance grant until the government funding resumes.

SOURCE Core Informatics
BRANFORD, Conn., June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Core Informatics, a leader in data management software which helps accelerate scientific research, collaboration and discovery, today announced a $5 million Series A equity financing led by KLP Enterprises, the investment arm of the Pritzker/Vlock family office. In addition, Elon Boms, Managing Director of Launch Capital, will join Core Informatics' board of directors.
Today, many scientists are slowed down by over-reliance on spreadsheets and legacy software applications that are not integrated across their organization or are unable to keep up with their goals for new product innovation, quality and operational efficiency. Core Informatics provides web-based solutions that help scientists reduce research cycle time, automate laboratory workflows, facilitate collaboration and derive more value from their data. With dozens of major companies and thousands of scientists already using its software, Core Informatics has received recognition from industry analysts and publications as a transformational leader in the industry.
"Scientists conducting cutting edge research deserve similarly innovative software platforms which can easily adapt to support their work," said Josh Geballe, CEO of Core Informatics. "Cloud-based platforms enable speed, mobility, efficiency, collaboration and access to big data that have created tremendous value in other industries while reducing IT complexity and cost. We are thrilled to bring these benefits to scientific organizations and are delighted to have the support of KLP Enterprises to continue to enhance our platform and expand our community of clients and partners."
With deep roots in science and technology, the team at Core Informatics has tripled in size in the last year in support of its growing global customer base. The Series A equity investment will be used to further scale up software engineering and product development, customer support and sales and marketing. This is Core Informatics' first capital raise since its founding in 2006 and compliments a recently announced $3 million financial assistance package from the State of Connecticut Department of Economic & Community Development.
"Flexible, scalable cloud computing platforms are bringing differentiated value to many industry verticals," said Elon Boms, Managing Director, Launch Capital. "Core Informatics is leading this revolution in the field of scientific data management and collaboration, and we are delighted to help them expand the benefits they will provide to existing and future clients."

Work starts on £56m Doncaster relief road
Work has started on the £56m Doncaster relief road which has angered some environmental campaigners but which is expected to bring thousands of jobs to a deprived part of our region.
The road will link the M18 motorway to Robin Hood Airport at Doncaster - the first phase of one of Yorkshire's most ambitious regeneration projects.
But councillors have been forced to defend their decision to allow the road to be built through green belt land. David Hirst reports.

Adults in our group loved the Karaoke. Enjoyed these shows much more than the named entertainment. Given the popularity of reality TV. I think Carnivalshould do more of this type of entertaining.
....Several folksy singers on board. They played by pool, in piano bar and in lobby. Loved it! Dave at Piano Bar the best. You can request songs from his songbook of 3000+ songs and even outside book.
....Soda and water not included in pay one price. Do not get the pay-one price deal to cover the cost. Lemonade and ice tea available at least until 1 am on 9th floor of ship and drink water with dinner.
...Smoking allowed in Casino and smoke flows out of Casino into other parts of ship. I even smelled smoke in my room. No doors on Casino to keep smoke in that room. I will not go on another Carnival Cruise unless company fixes this problem.
....Pace yourself with the food. Personal trainers in health club claimed (now remember they were trying to get my business) that the typical vacationer gains 7 to 14 pounds in 5 days. By second day my stomach was in knots. Go to sit-down meals as much as possible rather than buffets. Carnival really tries to keep things clean but I got sick anyway. In fact 3 of the 5 of us got sick. Two with colds and one throwing up.
.....Food very plentiful on ship. Many choices for dinner which is sit down. Diners are allowed to order more than one entree appetizer dessert etc. and they took advantage of this. Food edible. Lots of fish red meat chicken, veggie dishes and crazy dishes such as frog legs. Warm bread. Lobster night was yummy. Avoid the scrambled eggs at breakfast buffet. Runny and super salty. 24 hour pizza ice cream available. Burgers available all day. Our group loved the burgers and fries. After dinner they also have sandwiches fruit and cookies until 1 am. For breakfast and lunch they have a plentiful entree salad and dessert buffet. Also for breakfast/brunch they have a sit down meal which is very good. On Halifax port day sit down breakfast was rushed because they said they were being inspected by local health inspector. I do not know if this is always the case.
....Carnival staff all very professional. Ship very clean. They frequently drain the pools and hot tubs and wash them down.
....We had a full ship but plenty of room for everyone. Many lounge chairs. Carnival provides nice swim towels but they are provided in the room and you are responsible for bringing back to room or you get charged.
...Teenagers loved Movie Night outside by pool. Fluffy soft blankets available.
...Adults head to Serenity deck. Lounge chairs and nesting chairs with cushy cushions great.
....My teenage son and his friend both 10th graders had a great growing up experience on this boat in that they regularly stayed out until about 1 am. Carnival usually has a sport event such as basketball around 12 midnight. On the other hand they were also somewhat bored on this ship. More active activities needed for the active kids at night. Last night of cruise they spent a lot of money in video arcade. I noticed that many of the lounges on the Promenade Deck were empty at night. Carnival should covert some of these lounges into more active style rooms such as ping pong table rooms and pool rooms. I noticed that the only ones using the pool table in the smokey casino were the teenagers and young adults. They should move that table.
...Halifax Nova Scotia a real gem. We ate lunch at the "Bicycle Thief" a great restaurant right on the water 5 minutes from the ship. I had lobster roll and the most delicious vegetables and the boys had the best burgers that they ever tasted. They had delicious homemade bread with hummus dip that was very good. They also had free Wi-Fi so that was good too. The bill including tax and tip was about 25 dollars a person. Worth every penny. My 15 year old son did a Segway tour. 20 dollars for 30 minutes. He loved it and the vendor was very nice. 3 hour Excursion to Halifax and Peggy's Cove not to be missed but should be longer. Guide Donna was excellent.
...St. Johns day. Not a great city but the locals are very nice. Visit souvenir tent right near ship. Cohen's Emporium has vintage license plates for sale. Really cool. I was about to buy a New York 1964 World's Fair License Plate. I turned my head for one second and someone grabbed it. Also baseball memorabilia. Right next to Cohen's is a woman who sells 100 year old ceramic beer bottles that were excavated from the site of a brewery that burned down with the rest of the city about a 100 years ago. We took a cab ride to Reversing Falls which cost us about 35 dollars round trip for the 5 of us including tip. The phenomenon was interesting but the scenery was horrible as the tourist sight is right across from a paper mill. However there were two activities at this sight for the adventurous. Zipline over the river. Very high up. I did not have the nerve to do it but those who did looked like they were having a blast. Wear pants because people who wore shorts complained of chafing on their thighs. There was a speed boat that took passengers through the Reversing Falls. Not a water fall but a "drowned water fall". Waterfalls are under the river. The people that went were thoroughly soaked even though rain gear was provided. However they said it was great. So bring your boots change of clothes and do it! Someone said they went on a kayak clambake outing and loved it.
.....Stewards cleaned room twice a day. What I did not know is that ever time I put tag on door that said "Cruisin' "this was the signal to the Steward that the room needed cleaning even above and beyond the 2 regular times. The poor man was going into our room 3 or 4 times a day.
....We went on Canada cruise in late August. Pack jeans sweatshirts with hoods and rain gear. It was in the low 60s at St. Johns. On the higher decks of the ship it was often cold and windy. Pack sweaters to put on over nighttime dinner wear. Air conditioning makes some rooms very chilly.
.....Many people dressed fancy for formal night. Men wore nice suits and woman beautiful short dresses. We were not a fancy group. Two women in our group wore t-dresses/skirts. Men/boys in our group for formal night wore docker beige or navy pants, button down shirts or izod style shirts and dark sneakers. For casual formal they wore cargo shorts and izod type shirts. Women in our group wore T-shirt skirts or nice yoga pants or capris and a nice top. First night for dinner was come as you please.
......We had a balcony. Worth extra money. Watched sunrise from balcony. Saw NewYork skyline as we returned to New York. My room was beautiful and roomy enough. Bed comfortable. Other family we were with complained of boat rocking at night while they tried to sleep. This I did not notice but could have been because we were in back of ship.
....We were assigned a table for dinner in back of Platinum Dining-room 3rd floor which is in back of the ship. Our table right over engine-room. Several diners at our table complained of sea sickness because of this. Noticeable vibrations during dinner. Ask for seating in front part of Platinum Dining-room or ask for Golden Dining-room but not as nicely decorated. Seating is assigned before you arrive on first day of cruise. Try to book early to get better seating.
...Getting off ship easy but we had to wait about one and half hours after breakfast. Very organized. You can carry your own luggage off as long as it is not oversized otherwise you have to put your luggage outside your door by 12 midnight the night before with tags on luggage given to you by the ship. The tags have numbers on them. Next day you cannot get off the ship until your number is called. We had 18 which means that we had to wait awhile. We were on the 7th floor of ship in the back. I do not know what areas had lower numbers. However, the wait was not unpleasant. We had to vacate our rooms by 8:30 am and we had our choice to wait in several comfortable places both inside ship and on-deck. We put blue ribbons on our luggage so that we could easily find the luggage at zone number 18 when we got off ship.

- Phillips' first homer special to entire family
- Class A Lake Elsinore manager resigns
- Hundley set to open rehab stint Saturday
- Hoffpauir comes off DL at Triple-A
SAN DIEGO -- Chase Headley entered Thursday's game with an 11-game hitting streak, the longest of his career. But the Padres' third baseman says his recent success isn't a byproduct of anything he's done."I actually felt like I was swinging the bat pretty well, even when things weren't going well," Headley said. "Lately, I've had things go my way a little bit." So, if anything, what does he think jump-started him? "I think as the team starts to get going, you get a few guys hot," Headley said. "It's a lot easier to hit when you have three, four, five guys that are hitting well than when you have one guy trying to carry the load. I feel like we're swinging the bats better as a whole." Although the Padres have won five of their last seven games, few players have been hitting at Headley's pace. During his hitting streak -- the fourth-longest active streak in the Majors -- Headley has quietly batted .341 (14-for-41). "You feel that confidence when things are going well," Headley said, "but I try to stay basically the same, whether I'm going good or bad, with my drills and my routines. "If there's something specific I feel like I need to work on, I'll go do that. But for the most part, it's just staying with the routine, trusting the work that you do and hopefully it will pay off for you."
Phillips' first homer special to entire family
SAN DIEGO -- When Kyle Phillips' first career home run cleared the right-field wall in the Padres' 3-2 victory against the Braves on Monday, it wasn't just the 25,832 at Atlanta's Turner Field who were watching.Phillips' father was watching from San Diego, and shortly thereafter, Phillips dedicated his first big league blast to the man who has been watching him since he was a child. "Baseball's obviously a big part of [my father's influence], being around a lot of times and doing a lot of things for me, not only playing catch, but going outside and going out of his way to make things really happen for me," Phillips said. "I had a chance to get to talk to him after the game, and he was pretty emotional. Obviously it was a big moment for him." And then on Wednesday, Phillips hit his second career homer. "You dream as a little kid to hit a home run in the Majors, and obviously when I got here it was probably the last thing on my mind," Phillips said. But once it finally happened, Phillips was able to reflect on all the little things and the memories that led up to that moment. Chances are his father's thoughts went there, too. "My brother played pro baseball, too, and had a chance to homer in the big leagues as well, so it was a big moment for him and the family," Phillips said. The home runs weren't just a sentimental boost, though. Phillips' first home run came in the 10th inning and provided the Padres with the go-ahead run to beat Atlanta. Padres manager Bud Black said he and his staff liked the team's catcher situation during Spring Training, and Phillips has done his part to fill in for injured starter Nick Hundley. "Kyle's done a good job with pitch selection and handling the pitching staff," Black said. "He threw a couple of runners out on this trip, big ones that were much needed. He's held his own ... and the big run the other night in Atlanta in extra innings was a huge lift for us."
Class A Lake Elsinore manager resigns
SAN DIEGO -- Lake Elsinore Storm manager Carlos Lezcano resigned Thursday after five years with the the team. Hitting coach Phil Plantier has been named the interim manager of the Padres' Class A affiliate.Lezcano, who has been a Minor League manager for 19 years, prepared the club for this possibility. "Carlos decided to take care of personal matters, family issues, and we respect that," Smith said Lezcano, the 2010 California League Manager of the Year, led the Storm to four straight playoff appearances, including a run to the finals in 2007. With 23 victories this season, Lezcano is 43 wins shy of 1,000 in his career. Lezcano played in the Minor Leagues systems of the Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres, Houston Astros, Oakland Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals before he moved over to the coaching side of the game. "Carlos is a very passionate baseball guy," Smith said. "Passionate with the kids, and he did a good job in the five years he was with us."did a good job in the five years he was with us."
Hundley set to open rehab stint Saturday
SAN DIEGO -- Injured Padres catcher Nick Hundley was excited when he said it."I'm going to go out on a rehab assignment on Saturday, so go play and get ready to roll," Hundley said. Of course, that's assuming Hundley makes it through the scheduled events he has set up. Hundley took batting practice on Wednesday and felt as good as ever. He felt a pinch in his injured right oblique during previous attempts. On Friday, Hundley will work on his throwing. "I feel really good," Hundley said. "I'm excited to get back out onto the field and help these guys out and get ready to compete again." When Hundley went down with his injury, he was leading the team with a .263 batting average, and backups Rob Johnson and Kyle Phillips have struggled to replace that offensive production. Other than that, his gap has been filled nicely, and that doesn't surprise Padres manager Bud Black. He liked what the organization had at catcher since Spring Training. But it won't be long before the Padres have their Opening Day starter back behind the plate. "Nick is doing better," Black said. "He hit on the field [Wednesday]. He's going to go through a number of drills [Friday] on the field. He's going to hit again, he's going to throw bases and work on his defensive work. He's getting closer."
Hoffpauir comes off DL at Triple-A
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres reinstated infielder Jarrett Hoffpauir from the 60-day disabled list and outrighted him to Triple-A Tucson on Thursday.Hoffpauir was put on the DL with an injured quadriceps that he was battling since Spring Training. Hoffpauir has played in 15 games with Triple-A Tucson this season and is batting .298 (14-for-47) with 13 runs and a .433 on-base percentage.

Sweetheart Beaded Lace Trumpet Gown Style CRL277 187 189
BEAUTIFUL Let me begin by saying that the LAST thing I wanted was a dress with lace. I was also looking for a dress that wasn't strapless. I saw this dress on someone else in the store and knew I had to try it on. It was beautiful and the lace actually gives it a retro/classy look. I paired it with a fingertip veil and....OMG ....how beautiful!! A woman called her friend over from ACROSS the store just to see me in it. This dress is fab for a woman with hips, and is very flattering to my waist. I'm getting married in March in Jamaica......I will post pics then. I can't WAIT for him to see me in it. October 4, 2010
Bets Purchase Ever I fell in love when this gown when i had first seen it on a DB magazine and i knew this would be my dress. I waited a few months to see if i see anything better but i didnt. So i made an appt at a DB store tried other dresses but the one i could wait to try on was the Strapless Sweetheart Beaded dress and when i tried it on it was an AMAZING feeling, and ofcourse i bought the dress. Even though my wedding is not till next yr i cant wait for my soon to be husband to see me in my dress. I really love my dress. October 4, 2010
Very Complimenting I fell in love with this dress when I tried it on. Even though it was over my budget, I had to have it:) October 4, 2010
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful! This gown is a masterpiece. I always thought that this silhouette would never fit my body type but I was so wrong. From the moment I put this dress on I knew this was the one. The bead detail and lace is reminiscent of a romantic, vintage wedding gown. The drop waist and soft feminine neckline pull your eye from top to bottom and add a touch of modern appeal to the beautiful use of old-fashioned detail. The train on this gown is again, elegant. I cannot imagine wearing anything else for our special day. I hope that any other brides that may be looking at this gown, TRY IT ON! Happy Hunting ;) October 3, 2010

Are there things you can do now, in your kitchen and pantry, to make the holidays easier and more pleasurable?
Yes, there are, lots of things, especially this year, with Thanksgiving coming so late in the month. There is time before it is all upon us — the demands, the pressures, the elaborate dinners, the search for the dried sage and that pie dish you use just once a year. Taking a bit of time now can make it so much easier.
First, clean your spice cupboard. If you've had ground cinnamon, clove, allspice and nutmeg, for example, on the shelf for a decade or more, it's a great time to replace them and it's never been easier locally. We have two brick-and-mortar spice shops now — Penzey's in Montgomery Village and Savory Spice Shop in downtown Santa Rosa — and there are spice vendors at several local farmers markets, too.
Ground spices should be replaced annually if you want the fullest flavor. They won't go bad and if you're used to old ones you may not notice a difference. but there is a drop-off in flavor as volatile oils dissipate into the atmosphere. Start over with fresh spices and you'll notice a brightness, a pop; it's unmistakable.
The same is true for ground pepper. Replace it after six months. Or better yet, use whole peppercorns, ground at the last minute. Whole spices last for years, especially when stored in airtight containers in a dark cupboard.
OK, your spice cupboard is refreshed. What's next? I like to sort through and organize my vinegars around this time of year, discarding bottles with little left in them and replacing my favorites. I like both pomegranate and cranberry vinegar during the holiday season and usually make my own, not from scratch but by combining the fruit — separately — with a good vinegar. If you do this in the middle of November, the vinegar will blossom by Thanksgiving.
Olive harvest is underway now, too, and by the week of Thanksgiving there should be local olio nuovo available. This new oil is delicious but not stable; flavors diminish quickly. It's best to buy enough to get you through Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Year's Day. Indulge and then wait for the 2013 vintage to be released in the spring.

Continuation of Education After Military Service
11/11/2013 (Updated 6:42:56 PM)Serving one or multiple tours of duty overseas takes soldiers away from earlier pursuits for extended periods of time.
And for those planning on continuing their educations and that can mean entering college as an older student.
Veterans who are now Binghamton University students were part of a forum Monday sharing their experiences.
"Veterans Day is really a celebration of life, it you think about it. It's about celebrating those veterans that came back in one piece or came back in order to re-engage with the community. I think that because we work with general students, traditional aged students, it's really important to look towards the future," said Marty Wygmans, Director of TRIO Programs and Veterans Programs at BU.
There are currently about 70 veterans enrolled as students at BU.

Through simple, everyday actions, occupants of any campus building can directly impact Stanford's sustainability and bottom line. The Building Level Sustainability Program (BLSP) offers building occupants an opportunity to take action and become a leader in workplace sustainability. As part of the fall/winter Cardinal Green Buildings Campaign, BLSP participation helps support conservation efforts across campus while bringing awareness to sustainability efforts at Stanford.
How to Get Involved
Individual BLSP actions have saved up to 20% on electricity bills in some campus buildings. If all buildings at Stanford achieved the average savings, the university could save up to $350,000 in electricity costs annually! Here's how you can get involved:
- Sign up: Contact Jiffy Vermylen in the Office of Sustainability to sign up
- Prepare: Enroll in our free training course (not mandatory). Available through STARS/AXESS and eligible for a BeWell Healthy Living Berry, SST-1000: Sustainable Office Spaces is a fun and hands-on exploration of the options available to "green" your office.
- Implement: We'll walk through your building with you to put together a personalized action plan. Once complete, submit a rebate application and earn direct cost savings.
Need additional resources and support? Trained Stanford students and staff are available to help you with all implementation steps.
Participated in BLSP before? No problem. We would be happy to revisit your building to ensure optimal setup and identify any new savings opportunities.
What's In It For You?
The Building Level Sustainability Program is an excellent opportunity to connect your community to Stanford's sustainability mission. Realized savings may even improve your building's ECIP performance. By helping your department conserve resources, you'll be eligible to win participation prizes in one of 3 categories with a total value of up to $2,500:
- Outstanding Participation Award (Small Building) - Building-wide lunch party awarded to a small-medium sized building with outstanding participation performance
- Outstanding Participation Award (Large Building) - Building-wide lunch party awarded to a medium-large sized building with outstanding participation performance
- Individual Performance Champion - $500 cash award (taxable) awarded to individuals who go above and beyond to ensure successful implementation
In recognition of the effort and teamwork involved, all participants will earn a Sustainable Stanford certificate, qualify for a BeWell Healthy Living Berry and join the growing network of Building Heroes on campus. Your effort will also be recognized at the annual Celebrating Sustainability Event and featured in campus publications.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Wanted: Wallpaper, carpet, sofas and the old paint cans from the back of your garage.
"We'll take it all," said Carol Cates, bookkeeper and volunteer coordinator for Habitat for Humanity of Madison County.
This month, Habitat finalized plans to move its business offices and open a ReStore, which will sell new and gently-used home improvement goods, furniture, home accessories, building materials and appliances when it's fully operational later this summer.
Monday, Cates and Executive Director Karl Graddy supervised as a moving crew unloaded boxes at the new building, 800 E. 19th St., which used to be Everybody's Oil Corp.
The back warehouse is full of furniture, pallets and other materials left over from Habitat's building projects. But, "We're definitely looking for more donations," Cates said. "I'm hoping that this building quickly becomes too small."
There are 825 ReStore locations in the United States and Canada, and 19 in Indiana. They sell furniture, tools and supplies for remodeling, often at 20 to 30 percent of what they'd cost new, Graddy said.
What's more, the proceeds are pumped back into local projects, such as the 42 houses Habitat's built in its 25 years in Madison County.
Habitat homes are typically one or two stories, between 1,100 square feet and 1,700 square feet and ranging from three to five bedrooms. In Madison County, the average home costs between $60,000 and $65,000 to build, Graddy said.
"The cost of materials are going sky-high," he said. "This will provide Habitat for Humanity a source of revenue to continue building affordable housing for low-income families here."
And there's the "green" element, since the store "will reduce the items that otherwise would end up in our nearby landfills" by reselling it or reusing them instead, Graddy said.
Since 2005, Hoosier stores have diverted 5,384.6 tons of merchandise, 2,451 pounds of books, 40,022 gallons of paint, 463.7 tons of scrap metal, 114.03 tons of electronics and over 9 tons of cardboard from landfills, according to Habitat of Indiana's website.
As it ramps up its operations over the next few months, Cates said Habitat of Madison County will need both donated goods and volunteers.
"We get phone calls all the time from people who want to donate and people who want to buy," she said. "Now we'll finally have a place to send them."

There's a revival of the 19th-century embossed wallcoverings Anaglypta and Lincrusta. Anaglypta is a heavy embossed paper with a soft, low relief that must be painted after it dries. Lincrusta is made of something that's a lot like rubber, and its relief is much deeper. Both are great-looking and easy to use.

The district attorney for Orange County said Monday that no decisions have been made on whether criminal charges will be filed in the University of North Carolina academic scandal.
Jim Woodall told WNCN that a decision should be made within a couple of weeks. He said they were still looking at the information.
He said he met with State Bureau of Investigation agents Monday.
The long-running scandal led to the firing of football coach Butch Davis, the eventual resignation of chancellor Holden Thorp, and revealed problems in the African and Afro-American Studies department, as athletes took classes with little oversight.
Professor Julius Nyang'oro was forced into early retirement. But no one has been charged with any crimes.

The purpose of the Liaison Officer to the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) is to further the diversity goals of the Coast Guard by increasing awareness among Hispanic Americans (with the targeted qualifications for accession into the Coast Guard) of the career and education opportunities in our service. The Liaison performs this outreach mission by leveraging our association with HACU in order to open doors for meetings with the Hispanic Serving Institutions and their respective students. By sharing the excellent Coast Guard career and education opportunities the hope is to increase the number of applications from qualified Hispanic candidates for Coast Guard civilian, active duty, and reserve jobs.
|CSPI brochure #1
|CSPI brochure #2
The Coast Guard needs to have a workforce
that reflects the diversity of America's eligible population. Presently, most of the workforce elements
in the Coast Guard do not have the commensurate minority mix and Hispanic
Americans have the lowest representation of any minority group in every
component of the workforce.
Recognizing that a partnership with a Hispanic Institution could facilitate the recruitment and accession of Hispanic Americans, the Coast Guard decided that HACU would be the best partner to assist in this outreach mission. A Memorandum of Understanding between HACU and the Coast Guard was established and a plan was developed to place a liaison officer (0-6) at HACU's national HQ in 2002. This has allowed the Coast Guard to strengthen its relationship with HACU member schools, and build relationships with other Hispanic organizations.
The primary goal of the Coast Guard Liaison is to be the expert CG consultant to HACU and to promote Coast Guard missions, programs and careers to the Hispanic communities. The secondary goal is to facilitate the missions of CGRC, Diversity, Outreach and Civil Rights where they intersect with the Hispanic community.

President Barack Obama waits for a meeting with business leaders in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the White House on July 11, 2014 in Washington, D.C. After meeting with business leaders and others pushing for action on immigration, Obama is reportedly contemplating changes that go beyond relief from deportation for immigrants.
Obama Weighs Broader Move On Legal Immigration -Associated Press After meeting with business leaders and others pushing for action on immigration, President Obama is reportedly contemplating changes beyond relief from deportation for immigrants, and is "considering key changes in the nation's immigration system requested by tech, industry and powerful interest groups, in a move that could blunt Republicans' election-year criticism of the president's go-it-alone approach to immigration."
Immigrant children may get free legal help - San Francisco Chronicle California Attorney General Kamala Harris is seeking pro bono help for Central American migrant children, asking private law firms to provide free legal assistance. From the story: "The idea is to find private sources to help the children in their deportation hearings in Northern California, similar to an effort under way in Southern California."

A U.S. Border Patrol agent drives along a fence which separates the cities of Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora Mexico. U.S. investigators are reconstructing the scene of an agent-involved shooting that killed 16-year-old Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez in 2012, on the Mexican side of the fence. The teen's family has sued the U.S. government.
U.S. prosecutors investigating 2012 cross-border shooting in Nogales - Tucson Sentinel U.S. investigators are reconstructing the scene of a cross-border shooting that killed 16-year-old Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez in 2012. From the story: "The teen was walking along a street in Nogales, Son., when he was shot approximately 10 times by U.S. Border Patrol agents. Most of the bullets struck him in the back and the boy died on the sidewalk just four blocks from his home." His family has sued the U.S. government.
How an Executive Order on Immigration Could Help Startups - Slate As President Obama weighs executive action on immigration, some possible changes could wind up benefiting small businesses owned by immigrant entrepreneurs. From the story: "An executive order might, for example, remove the dependents of green card holders from the official caps, which could increase worker green card numbers to nearly 300,000."
CicLAvia and gentrification: Eastside expansion troubles some residents
Outsiders. Hipster invaders. Gentrifiers.
These are images of CicLAvia riders painted by Eastside residents concerned about the cycling event expanding into their community for the first time on Oct. 5.
These residents say that CicLAvia casts a worrisome spotlight on Boyle Heights and East LA, as the communities grapple with rapid gentrification. With home prices in Los Angeles among the country's highest, people are increasingly turning to more affordable housing Eastside, to the dismay of long-time residents.
To them, CicLAvia feels like another example of outside forces coming into their community without consulting them.
"It is a genuine concern — the issue of gentrification and the fear that people have that when outsiders come in it's not with an eye to appreciate what's there but to snap up what they can," said Sahra Sulaiman, a community journalist who covers Boyle Heights.

A boys holds a U.S. flag as President Barack Obama speaks on immigration at the Chamizal National Memorial on May 10, 2011 in El Paso, Texas. Lawmakers, advocates, experts, lobbyists and business leaders hope to have a stake in what kind of executive action on immigration comes out of the White House in the near future.
Behind Closed Doors, Obama Crafts Executive Actions - New York Times Lobbyists and interest groups have been making their cases privately to President Obama, who stated earlier this summer that he would take action on immigration in the near future. From the story: "White House officials say Mr. Obama has been inclusive as he looks to wield his authority, reaching out to an array of lawmakers, experts and business leaders for a wide range of perspectives to inform his plans for executive actions."
GOPers take on different immigration strategies to woo voters - MSNBC On how Republican candidates might handle immigration as the midterm elections approach. From the story: "A strict stance will still likely play well with the conservative base. But it goes against the GOP's autopsy report following Mitt Romney's loss in 2012, and the party's acknowledgement that it needed to be more inclusive of minorities – particularly Latinos – if it wants to increase its chances of a Republican win in 2016."
As fewer child migrants arrive, Ventura County emergency shelter closes — for now
John Moore/Getty Images
A Salvadoran family waits at a Greyhound bus station for their trip to Houston on July 25, 2014 in McAllen, Texas. After a surge in recent months, the number of unaccompanied minors arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border from Central America has dropped sharply, and emergency shelters set up on military bases have closed for the time being. It's unclear if more child migrants will arrive after the summer.
Just two months after it opened, an emergency shelter for unaccompanied child migrants on a naval base in Port Hueneme has closed, at least for the time being.
The 600-bed shelter for minors over age 12 closed Aug. 7, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Many of its occupants have already been reunited with relatives. Those left were placed at existing HHS shelters, said Kenneth Wolfe, a department spokesman.
"We were able to take this step because we have proactively expanded capacity to care for children in standard shelters, which are significantly less costly facilities," Wolfe wrote in an email. "At the same time, we have seen a decrease in the number of children crossing the southwest border."
Ana Garcia of the Central American Resource Center in Los Angeles said that she and other service providers recently met with HHS officials, and was told the majority of the kids at the shelter had been placed with family, with relatively few being transferred to other shelters.

I am trying to get it where you hover over a box it stretches out to display more information. I am still considered a nube when it comes to jquery and was hoping someone could tell me the best way of doing this.
I set up a JSFIDDLE account as well: http://jsfiddle.net/eKszw/
Any help wold be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Dec 17, 2012, 10:35 #2
It currently reveals all the boxes with the same class name instead of just revealing the info on the box that was hovered. trying to make it so it gracefully degrades when jquery is off too

If you want to expand the div for more info, you can't use the class name as more than one box can have the same class name for styling.
Apply an individual id for each box and then access them for animation via jquery.
So, add an id to the div:

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
