Deputy fire chief retiring after nearly 40 years with division
After almost 40 years working with Henrico County Fire and 10 years serving as the operations chief, Henrico Deputy Fire Chief Richard McClure is preparing to retire officially from the department.
On July 1, McClure will formally end his extensive career with the department.
McClure began his involvement with Henrico County Fire in 1973. Since then, he has worked his way up the ranks from a volunteer to become the second person in command of the entire department.
"My dad worked [in firefighting]," McClure said. "That's basically all I knew from the time I was a little kid - being associated with the fire department. From the time I was 15, I signed up to be a volunteer here."
McClure recalled several memorable moments during the course of his lengthy career, which included helping to extinguish the large fire at VCU a few years ago that eventually spread to a surrounding neighborhood.
Over time, McClure witnessed Henrico Fire's increasing involvement with the emergency medical services field and noted that he positively contributed to this change.
"I was lucky enough to be the assistant operations chief during our big growth in the EMS field over the last several years," he said. "I was able there for a while to be very successful in adding a number of ambulances to our fleet."
Aside from his high-ranking position with Henrico Fire, McClure is also the current president of the Old Dominion EMS Alliance and Metro Richmond EMS and serves on the Stadium Advisory board. Despite his retirement, McClure said that he will continue to remain as an active member of those organizations.
On the day of his retirement, McClure will become the owner of Calhoun's Country Store.
"I will change the name to the Hunton General Store, and I'm going to greatly enhance the offerings of the little store and hopefully turn it into a community place where people come and hang out and solve the world's problems," he said.
McClure said that the most fulfilling aspect of working with the department is that it gave him the opportunity to reach out and serve the community during times of distress.
"We tend to only become involved when they're at their worst moments. Being able to interact and make a difference in the people's life is pretty rewarding," he said.
McClure has encouraged others who work with Henrico Fire to uphold the division's strong reputation by continuing to provide outstanding customer service to the members of the community.
"We have gone great lengths to preach excellent customer service. Having been an operations chief for 10 years, you get a lot of compliments and very few complaints," he said.

YMCA breaks ground for aquatic center
YMCA officials gathered last week to break ground on the new Tommy J. West Aquatic Center at the Shady Grove Family YMCA on Nuckols Road. The center, which will featured 7,600 square feet of competitive and recreational space, including water slides, play areas for children and warmer water for those with physical limitations, is the fourth phase of a $4 million expansion at the facility. West was president and CEO of Capital Interior Contractors and a founding member of the Central Virginia Region of the Virginia Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Recommended Reading: RWJF Culture of Health Prize Winner Spokane County on Health Affairs Blog
Earlier this year, Spokane County, Wash.,was chosen by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) as a Culture of Health Prize winner for its efforts to improve community health by increasing graduation rates. As part of a new ongoing series, Health Affairs blog has featured a piece by local Spokane leader Ben Smith on the community's health successes.
Just eight years ago, the high school graduation rate for Spokane Public Schools was below 60 percent and 18 percent of the county's students lived in poverty. In addition, the students who did attend college or technical school often failed to earn their degree, leaving them unprepared to fill available positions in the county's more technical fields.
To address these issues, Priority Spokane emerged from a collaboration of local businesses, educators, health organizations and community nonprofits—all committed to improving the future of Spokane County residents by improving education. A report linking lack of education to poorer health helped spur a dramatic change. Over the next several years, the county emphasized increased collaboration and a clear vision to improve the high school graduation rate to 79.5 percent overall.
Spokane County's efforts include:
- Training teachers and childcare workers to mentor children who experience traumatic home events.
- Developing an early warning system for at-risk students.
- Establishing community attendance support teams that reengage truant students in school.
- Starting Spokane Valley Tech, a high school designed to help students build careers in science, technology, engineering and math.

Recommended Reading: New Technology Helps Improve Patient and Provider Communications
Better communication means better patient engagement, and better patient engagement means better health outcomes. Understanding this, Sense Health has developed an app to promote interactive, text-message-based communications between health care professionals and high-needs patients. Stan Berkow, CEO of the New York City-based company, said in a recent interview with AlleyWatch that the focus thus far has been on Medicaid patients with chronic conditions because they represent "an underserved population with a huge unmet need both considering the human element as well as the cost-burden."
The app allows providers to create message-based conversations tailored to the particular needs of their patients. In a two-month randomized control trial with Montefiore Medical Center, which included 67 high-needs patients and 15 care managers, providers saw a 40 percent increase in self-reported patient adherence to appointments, a 12 percent increase in adherence to medications and a 7 percent increase in adherence to care plan goals.
"Our business is built on our belief that it is not only possible, but essential to personalize healthcare through the use of technology," said Berkow. "The prevention and management of chronic health conditions requires behavior change, something that technology alone cannot provide. Sense Health is amongst those who realize that technology in health works best when there is a human touch behind the system and patients feel supported by their providers."
The company recently joined the New York Digital Health Accelerator, which offers up to $100,000 in funding to companies engaged in developing digital health solutions. The accelerator is run by the Partnership Fund for New York City and the New York eHealth Collaborative.

Recommended Reading: 'National Geographic' on the Recent Ebola Outbreak
Since March, several African countries have reported more than 1,000 cases of Ebola virus and more than 670 deaths. During a United Nations Foundation briefing in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, public health experts from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization raised concerns about airline passengers from these countries spreading Ebola well beyond Africa. This week that fear became a reality when a U.S. citizen, Paul Sawyer, who had been in Liberia very recently as a consultant to the country's finance ministry, fell ill on a flight from Liberia to Nigeria. Sawyer was hospitalized in Lagos, Nigeria, and died there of Ebola.
Several West African nations have responded by planning to set up monitoring stations at airports to identify people with fevers before they board planes. On a CDC conference call this week with reporters, Martin Cetron, MD, the CDC's director for Global Migration and Quarantine, said it makes more sense to put checkpoints in West African countries than to scan incoming passengers in the United States because there are few direct flights from West Africa, and fevers found among passengers entering the United States are unlikely to be Ebola.
"Ebola is contagious only when symptomatic, so someone unknowingly harboring the virus would not pass it on, " said Stephan Monroe, deputy director of the CDC's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, during the conference call, also adding that even passengers showing symptoms are unlikely to pass the disease on to fellow travelers because blood and stool carry the most viruses. Cetron also said that those at highest risk for Ebola infection are family members who care for sick loved ones and health care workers who treat patients or accidentally stick themselves with infected needles.
"We do not anticipate [Ebola] will spread in the U.S. if an infected person is hospitalized here," CDC Director Tom Frieden told reporters. "We are taking action now by alerting health care workers in the U.S. and reminding them how to isolate and test suspected patients while following strict infection-control procedures."
The National Geographic recently took an in-depth look at the Ebola virus in Africa and the risk of it spreading to the United States. Read the full article.
Recommended Reading: Life Expectancy Gains Threatened When Older Americans Have Multiple Medical Conditions
A new study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health finds that nearly four in five older Americans are living with multiple chronic medical conditions. That's very concerning, say the researchers, because their work shows that the more ailments a person has after retirement age, the shorter their life expectancy. The researchers say the new study is one of the first to look at the burden of multiple chronic conditions on life expectancy among the elderly and may help explain why increases in life expectancy among older Americans are slowing.
"Living with multiple chronic diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease and heart failure is now the norm and not the exception in the United States," said Eva H. DuGoff, PhD, a researcher at the school of public health and the lead author of the new study. "The medical advances that have allowed sick people to live longer may not be able to keep up with the growing burden of chronic disease. It is becoming very clear that preventing the development of additional chronic conditions in the elderly could be the only way to continue to improve life expectancy."
The study found that a 75-year-old American woman with no chronic conditions will live to be an average of 92, but a 75-year-old woman with five chronic conditions will only live to an average age of 87 and a 75-year-old woman with 10 or more chronic conditions will only live to the age of 80. Women continue to live longer than men and white people live longer than black people, based on data from annual U.S. surveys.
On average, life expectancy is reduced by 1.8 years with each additional chronic condition, the researchers found. But while the first disease shaves off just a fraction of a year off life expectancy for older people, the impact grows as the diseases add up. The study is based on an analysis of the records of 1.4 million Medicare enrollees and was published in the journal Medical Care.
Other groups are also beginning to look at this issue. Healthy aging will be this year's focus of the President's Initiative of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officers. A year-long focus on healthy aging will begin during the association's annual conference in September.

Recommended Reading: Health Affairs and RWJF Primer on E-Cigarettes
The public comment period for rules regulating the sale and use of e-cigarettes proposed in April by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ends on August 8, after which the agency is expected to release final rules governing the products. Experts say the timing is critical because sales of the products—which weren't even on the market a decade ago—are heating up, with revenues approaching $1 billion a year, according to Forbes Magazine.
Last week, Health Affairs and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) released a health policy brief about e-cigarettes that sets out key issues concerning the products and provides important background, particularly for people poised to comment on the FDA's proposed rules.
Among the issues the policy brief addresses are e-cigarette safety; whether the devices ought to be regulated as a medical (smoking cessation) device or as a cigarette; and whether e-cigarettes pose a risk as a "gateway" drug to tobacco products. It notes that the FDA is currently funding close to 40 studies on e-cigarettes.
The issue is especially critical because sales to kids and teens are increasing, and there is still insufficient information on whether the vapor emitted by the devices pose a cancer risk. A 2013 study of 40,000 middle and high school students around the country by researchers at UC San Francisco found that e-cigarette use in that group doubled between 2011 and 2012, from 3.1 percent to 6.5 percent.

Recommended Reading: A Refurbished Bus Will Bring Showers to the Homeless in San Francisco
There are an estimated 7,350 homeless people living in San Francisco, yet there are only eight facilities in the city at which the homeless can shower. At each of these facilities, there are at most two shower stalls—meaning that there is at most one shower for every 460 homeless people.
Lava Mae developed a mobile approach to target this public health issue.
The refurbished San Francisco MUNI bus outfitted with two full-service bathrooms successfully made its first rounds on June 28. The bus will travel around the city providing the homeless with mobile public utilities and giving them much-needed access to clean water and sanitation. Without the limitations of stationary locations, Lava Mae is able to aide people across the city while also staying free from high real estate prices, rising rent and potential eviction.
"For at least a decade, bathrooms have stood in for the city's anxieties about homelessness, public utilities, and the changing economy," wrote Rachel Swan in a piece on public bathrooms in SF Weekly. Lava Mae founder Doniece Sandoval hopes that the program will take big steps in improving the health of the homeless and public sanitation by increasing the number and scope of available public restrooms.
The relationship between the health and wellbeing of the homeless population correlates directly with the health of the community as a whole. As the homeless population strives for a better quality of life, so does the community—one shower at a time.

Recommended Reading: The Washington Post and 'Health Beyond Health Care'
Last month the Washington Post held a live event, Health Beyond Health Care, that brought together doctors, bankers, architects, teachers and others to focus on health beyond the doctor's office. The goal of the Washington, D.C., event—which was co-sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and others—was to showcase examples of novel places that are working to create cultures of health, such as a newly designed school that promotes physical activity and healthy eating in Virginia, and free outdoor exercise classes in Detroit.
Videos from the Post event are now online and include conversations with:
- Dan Nissenbaum, managing director in the Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, about community development.
- Brookings Institution fellow Alice Rivlin about the RWJF Commission to Build a Healthier America, which released its report Beyond Health Care in January.
- Chris Allen, CEO of the Detroit Wayne County Health Authority, about moving the community from a focus on sick care to a focus on prevention and wellness.
The Post's continuing coverage also includes articles about how city design can open up new opportunities for health; how greenways and complete streets can get people moving; and how workplaces can get a makeover for healthier employees.
Over the next few days, NewPublicHealth will report on additional efforts across the country to promote a culture of health across neighborhoods, schools, homes and workplaces.

Recommended Reading: 'Strong Mental Health Gives Us Increased Resilience'
An American Academy of Pediatrics symposium earlier this week focused on ways to prevent "toxic stress" in children and families, including addressing mental health education and treatment early in a child's life. In a comprehensive interview during May's Mental Health Awareness Month, David Shern, PhD, senior science advisor at Mental Health America and a member of American Public Health Association's Mental Health Section, addressed the importance of this approach.
"[W]e can develop strong mental health which gives us increased resilience to deal with the adversities that we experience in life, to concentrate better, to be more productive, to be more emotionally well balanced," he said. "So it's important that when we think about the overall health of our population, we think not only about preventing illness, which of course is critically important, but also promoting strength and well being."

"At 10 a.m. on any given morning, the kids at low-income San Francisco schools are starting to fidget. Their teachers report they're having trouble concentrating, asking how long 'til they eat...Then the snacks arrive, delivered by volunteers from the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. They serve string cheese one week; baby carrots, mandarin oranges or apple slices the next."
Because of this and other programs, Marin County, Calif. tops the U.S. News & World Report's new rankings of "America's 50 Healthiest Counties for Kids," part of its annual guide on the nation's Best Children's Hospitals. The new rankings, for children 18 and younger, are calculated in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, which also evaluates health data for the U.S. population as part of its County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program, a collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
The rankings analyze U.S. counties according to several key measures, including:
- Infant deaths
- Low birth weight babies
- Deaths from injuries
- Teen births
- Children in poverty
- Percentage of children without health insurance
- Air quality in most states
- Rates of adult smoking and adult obesity
- Access to physicians
- Exercise opportunities
In addition to the rankings, the U.S. News story also highlights six communities that have made significant advancements toward improving the health of their kids, including:
- Santa Clara, Calif., where a policy stipulates that 50 percent of food and beverages sold in countywide vending machines must meet nutrition guidelines.
- Washington County, R.I., where the policy organization Kids Count is dedicated to improving children's health, education, economic well-being and safety.
- Middlesex County, Mass., which includes the city of Cambridge—one of RWJF's Culture of Health Prize winners last year—and where fun physical education classes keep kids active while healthy school meals celebrate cultural diversity.

Recommended Reading: What Do We Want to Do With an Extra Thirty Years?
Far too many older people in generally good health find themselves without purpose—which is itself at cross purposes with the natural makeup of humans, according to Linda P. Fried, MD, MPH, an expert on aging and the dean of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University.
"We are a species wired to feel needed, respected, and purposeful," she wrote in the latest issue of The Atlantic. "The absence of those qualities is actually harmful to our health."
The new article discusses the current research on the benefits of older people engaging in work that they are good at and enjoy. One example, Experience Corps—which Fried cofounded and which is now hosted by the AARP—seeks to leverage "the investments in one age group in order to benefit many stakeholders."
Another example is the World Health Organization's Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities, which provides a model for developing public-private partnerships. In New York City, the Age-Friendly NYC Commission was established in 2010 in partnership with the New York City Council and The New York Academy of Medicine. The underlying premise, according to Fried, was that the active participation of older residents in all aspects of city life is essential to the growth and health of the city, and that creating the conditions to achieve this is an important investment in public health.

I love what Studio Canal have done for Studio Ghibli here in the UK. Unlike America we have gotten what can pretty much be called the complete Ghibli Movie catalogue.
I just hope they carry this on into BD with titles like Only Yesterday and Ocean Waves. I hope being subtitled only wouldn't stop Studio Canal giving them the BD release treatment.

I agree in principle with this, but must admit that I have decided not to replace the majority of my DVD collection on BD as I don't have the money, and Ghibli films aren't an exception to that, I'm doing it purely based on whether the DVD transfer was particularly lousy (and even then it depends on how visually impressive the movie was to begin with) plus the occasional all-time favourite that's visually spectacular - in other words, both The Dark Crystal and Clueless are among my favourite movies of all time, but I'm only buying the former on BD, and the same principle applies for anime on BD vs. DVD: Mawaru Penguindrum is worth owning in hi-def, sure, but I can list numerous titles both that do have BDs and that don't where I would go for the DVD and save money even if there was a BD because they just aren't that visually impressive, and not just digipaint shows - there are some older cel animated titles such as Touch that wouldn't really benefit that much from HD because they have quite simple visuals to begin with, even if they were shot on film rather than video and a native HD master exists.
Anyway, it's great news that they'll be releasing From Up On Poppy Hill on home video, I will definitely be buying the BD (hopefully as a combo pack so I can lend the DVD to people).

Do you love me or not?A JEANETTE AND SIMON LOVE STORYHAPPY VALENTINES DAY Gift It was a nice tuesday the day of love and there in the school was a chipmunk and a chipette. Both smart but both hid a secret. "hey Jeanette" Simon said to Jeanette as he appeared behind her. "oh hey Si" Jeanette said smiling and blushing a bit. The the chipmunk went twards her and tuned her around. " happy Valentines Day" Simon said a bit nervous. " oh happy Valentines day to you too Simon" Jeanette said as she gave Simon a big hug. Simon though he wanted to tell Jeanette something really important. "BEEP BEEP" Alvin said as he passed by with his skatebored."what up dudes" Alvin said as he accedently pushed simon closer to Jeanete. They both blushed but Jeanette looked away from him to make sure no one could see. Simon just chuckled but he blushed also,"am I interupting something?" ALvin asked. Simon then again thought that if he doesnt tell Jeantette that he had fallen in love with her then it was gonna be too la
Comfort during the stormIt has been a few weeks since that epic Battle of the Band contest and two groups of chipmunks, now living in the same house and sleeping in the same room, were still getting used to each other. Simon was (friendly) competing with Jeanette to give the smart answers, Theodore and Eleanor were helping each other in the kitchen, even thou they had sometimes an argument about what to eat and Alvin and Brittany needed to learn to share a bathroom, even if you had to wait for the other for half an hour. Just like it was now."Alvin, you have been there for half an hour." Brittany yelled at the bathroom door. "I'm tired. I want to take a quick bath and then go to sleep!""Perfection takes time!" Alvin's voice said from the bathroom."We can't for an eternity for that to happen." Brittany joked, but getting very frustrated. "DAAAVE!""Brittany is right, Alvin." Dave said. "Just get ready to sleep and let Brittany have her bath."Alvin opened the door and walked out. "How can you call it a bath
A chipmunk love story part 3"C'mon, Jeanette!" Alvin said to Jeanette, who was still in the room 'saying goodbye' to Simon. "We have to go.""I'm coming!" Jeanette said. "See you tomorrow, Simon."Jeanette exited the room, giving Alvin an annoyed look. "Don't look at me like that." Alvin said. "I'm hungry and we're going out for taco's."Jeanette rolled her eyes and she walked with Alvin until they reached the main hall, but then stopped in her tracks and looked back at the wing where Simon's room was."What's wrong?" Dave asked who was waiting at the exit of the hospital with the others."I don't want to leave him." She said, taking a step backwards. "I don't know why, but I have this bad feeling that if I leave him something bad will happen to him.""Don't be ridiculous, Jean." Eleanor said. "He will be just fine.""That what we thought before we got here today." Jeanette said, taking another step backwards. "And look what happened." She almost started to hyperventilate."Easy, Jeanette." Dave soothe
A chipmunk love story part 4It has been a month after Simon's accident, of which he was three weeks home. He healed a bit quicker than expected, but it was still a slow healing process. His right arm was healed first and a week ago the casts of the legs came off. He still needed to use the wheelchair for some time, because his legs were weakened. Every two days a doctor from the hospital came to do exercises with Simon. They were often painful for him.Jeanette knew they were necessary, but it killed her to see Simon in pain. She always was there during his exercises. She always gasped if he nearly dropped on his knees or ran to his aid if she saw that it was too painful. Jeanette had memorized the exercises so that she could practice them during the times the doctor wasn't there. She took care of him, even if he felt it wasn't really necessary."Jeanette, please, just hand me my crutches and I'll
" Simon began when Jeanette was trying to get him in the wheelchair to drive him around."No dice, Simon." Jeane
Meet Me In The Pouring Rain It was just another typical night at the Seville household. Dave was still at a meeting for work. Alvin was just sitting in the living room playing video games. Theodore was cooking dinner. Nothing exciting. In the basement were two chipmunks working hard at a science project for class. These two studious munks never seemed to get distracted by anything when working. Tonight, Simon couldn't keep his eyes off of her. She was wearing skinny blue jeans that showed off her perfect hips. A purple v-neck long sleeved shirt and black flats went along with this. Half of her hair was pulled out of her face while the rest was hanging loosely around her beautiful face with slight makeup on it. Who can forget those cute, purple glasses of hers? She was just perfect. He has been catching himself staring at her like this a lot lately, but he just couldn't help himself. There has been a feeling he has been getting since they started high school. Now being juniors, he felt that he should d
When I woke up, you were there chapter 2A few days later, Simon was cleared perfectly healthy and could go home. He first had to deal with the press and the TV reporters, who were eager to have the story about Simon's recovery. And then there were the expected questions. How did he feel? If he still wants to sing with his brothers? If the rumors about his relationship with Jeanette were true. After all that was finished, Dave took Simon home by car.Simon looked outside the window, at the changes that happened in three years. Some of his favorite stores were closed and replaced with other stores. On the other hand, he saw some new technologies that he sure was going to like. As they drove into their new street, Simon's jaw dropped. Their new house was at least one-and-a-half times bigger, if not bigger, than their old one. Jeanette was waiting at the door, jumping up as she saw the car. She yelled for her sisters and Simon's brothers and they all welcomed him home."Home." Simon said. "This is not the home I remem
Comfort after the stormThe day after the storm was a bit of a hectic one. The storm had done some serious damage over the neighborhood. At least one tree had fallen down on some poor family's home. But the damage was not that serious. The most damage came from fallen trees, collapsed poles and more of that. Dave, and some other people of the neighborhood were busy the whole day with fixing things, calling people and more so. Meanwhile, the chipmunks and Chipettes stayed at home, still talking about the storm last night. Or in Alvin's case
"And I say you have cheated." Alvin said, still talking about that game of Marco Polo/hide and seek they played during the storm."Alvin, it was dark in most of the room and I just hid in places you didn't search in." Simon said, turning a page of the book he was reading."And still, you have cheated." Alvin continued."You were the one who gave up after 10 minutes, Alvin." Brittany said, looking outside the window to the people walking around, helping everywhere whe
AatC Summer StoryALVINI guess it all started on a hot, humid day sometime in July.But of course, during summertime nobody really knows the difference between June and July, Tuesday and Wednesday.But I think it was a Tuesday.Whatever, it doesn't make all that much of a difference anyways.It was one of those days where it's so humid your hair curls up the moment you walk outside, when your shoes seem to stick to the pavement, when it looks like everything less than a yard off the ground is wavy and hazy.Of course, I slept in because I'm a teenager (fourteen! Yeah yeah) and that's what teenagers do. Plus, you know, it's summer, who cares?All the covers were flung off my bed and my hair was sticking to my forehead.So I laid there sweating and making smacking noises with my mouth because I could taste that gross morning breath until I heard a yell up the stairs, a yell that is forever imprinted in my brain."AALLLLLLVIINNNNNN!!""DAAAVE!!!" I wanted to yell back, but why get in more trouble than nec
AATC Romance 7Brittany: Alejandro, Alejandro. Ale-Alejandro Ale- Alejandro. Stop please, just let me go. Alejandro, just let me go!Dave: That was great Brittany! Eleanore, you've been waiting for this your wholeuh Well for the past 2 weeks. It's time for you to sing Mine-Taylor Swift!Eleanore: Oh-no.Theodore: I know you will be great! You've been waiting for this music video for 2 weeks, and it's a good thing I'll be your boyfriend, fiancé, and husband!Alvin: Can I be Alejandro in Brittany's Alejandro music video.Simon: If you were then we would have to youJeanette: Alvinandro!Alvin made a silly face at Jeanette and Simon; they both did a silly face back.The music started and Eleanore recorded her song, of course with her sisters at her side singing the chorus. While she was recording, Jeanette decided to sing You Belong with me since the guy in the video reminded her of Simon and she was Taylor with the huge glasses.Eleanore:

AatC Summer Story part 2--Jeanette--I smiled after Alvin, and then shut the door.He's a nice guy, I think. I mean, lately he's been pretty nice.I sat down on the couch, and sighed. Simon was at work, with Michelle, who used to be my friend. Michelle, who has a crush on Simon almost as big as her head. You know, the only reason he got that job is because her dad is really important at the library, and Michelle wanted him away from me all summer (5 days a week, and occasionally Saturdays).I pulled out my phone, feeling miserable. Michelle was at the library with Simon all to herself. I needed. To talk. To him. Now.I dialed 1 and then pressed Send. (Yeah, he's number one on my speed dial.)--Simon--I sighed, and turned another page of my book. There is NOBODY in the library during the summer. Except the kids whose mothers enroll them in the story time program, and a few people who I know from school. And the occasional group of little 6-through-11-year-olds from the downtown daytime summer care center.My
ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS Chiploved part 1Chipettes and chipmunks storyA jenette and Simon love story."I don't like this!" Theodore whispered."Shh!" was Alvin's reply.Alvin Seville had enough to worry about already. If Dave by any chance happened to go upstairs and into the room he shared with his brothers, and found they were missing at 2:00 in the morning, they would be in HUGE trouble. It didn't help that the Chipettes were supposed to be babysitting Miss Miller's niece, Hailey. Brittany had insisted upon coming, and naturally, Eleanor had refused to let her go without her. Jeanette had then felt compelled to follow them, and of course, Hailey had to come with, or they'd be busted (as the world's most intelligent two-year-old, she had sensed something was up when the girls tried to sneak out and started crying.)."I really don't like this!" Theodore repeated, his voice rising to a whimper. He grabbed Simon's hand

Den Haag, Nether...
I have only made jeans and corduroy trousers before, but now I decided to go for something different with this great pink and sand coloured tweed I bought on sale in spring. Really high waisted trousers with wide legs and a fly front (without waistband, I used a facing instead), partly lined (till a bit below the knee). I made the pattern myself, based on my trouser block.

He couldn't resist her innocence...
Nick Coleman was one of Sydney's most eligible billionaires. Love 'em and leave 'em--that was Nick's mantra. But he couldn't do that to Sarah; he had promised he would act as her guardian and protect her. Yet he wanted her, badly.... Sarah was soon to claim her inheritance.
She'd be a sitting duck to predators looking for a rich, innocent girl. Perhaps it was Nick's responsibility to personally teach her how wicked and seductive a man could be....

How Many Struggle to Get By in Retirement?
AbstractThe official poverty measure in the United States fails to reflect modern day economic resources and spending needs. The official measure is based only on cash income and does not include in-kind transfers, capital gains and losses, taxes, out-of-pocket health spending, the value of owner-occupied housing, or the potential income from financial assets. Also, the official poverty thresholds that define minimal needs, set back in 1963 and updated to changes in the CPI, do not capture current spending patterns. These shortcomings especially pertain to adults age 65 and older because their resources, needs, and health expenses differ most dramatically from the assumptions reflected in the official measure.

American Native Pecan
More Information:
- Slow Food USA
- Map of Growers
- Find Growers by State:
During its potential 150-year life, each American pecan tree produces a nut that is unique in variety, making for millions of distinctive pecan nut flavors. Texas leads the nation in pecan production with an estimated 600,000 acres of trees consisting of 30,000,000 individual trees. Pecans are highly nutritious as they are sodium-free and contain upwards of 19 vitamins and minerals. As a nut with a high protein content, (18%) the pecan is listed on the USDA Food Guide pyramid as a nourishing alternative protein for people on a plant-based diet. Although not explicitly endangered, the American Native Pecan is at risk and in need of revitalization.

In Case You Ever Wanted to See Google's Headquarters
I've never been inside the offices of Google but I know someone who used to work in the New York offices. All the rumors of Segways and playgrounds are 100% true. Apparently there are tons of perks, a ton of comfort, and an all around fun feeling in the offices.
I'm assuming the same is true for the Mountain View offices as well. Hell you would hope that one of the most successful companies in the world would be a fun place to work. Unfortunately that's not the case for the rest of the world. But for Google it seems to be.
Work hard. Play hard. Nothing wrong with that. Check out the pics after the jump….
Well it's not a segway but having a scooter is kind of cool, no?

|I started with Weightwatchers 12/1/2008 after being told by my doctor I was diabetic. I posted a couple of times on this site but didn't stick with it.
However, I did stick with WW and then joined a gym (Curves). I'm pleased to report that as of my last WW meeting yesterday I've lost 100.6 pounds! I still have about 35 pounds to go. I thought I'd try to get down to about 150 and then reassess my situation to see whether I should lose even more, or just try to maintain. How do others know when they've reached their "ideal" weight?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by sleeperblues (My Page) on Tue, Aug 24, 10 at 21:36
|Wow, that's great! Congratulations. They should let you know at WW what your ideal range is, but it should be something you can maintain. The hard work is maintenance, trust me I know.

TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Over a month ago, Da'Quan Bowers avoided jail time on gun charges stemming from the February 18 incident at LaGurdia Airport. After much speculation from fans and several reports on whether Bowers will face a suspension from the league, TheBayCave.com has learned today that the investigation is still pending on whether or not the Buccaneers' defensive end will be suspended, per NFL spokesman. After letting defensive end Michael Bennett go and test the free agent market, Buccaneers' general manager Mark Dominik let it be known that they are confident with Da'Quan Bowers starting full-time opposite the line from Adrian Clayborn. At the time of Dominik's comments, Bowers was just four days into the uncertainty of any jail time. The league has had the Bowers case since day one of the incident. Since being exonerated on April 11, the league has stated they would immediately begin reviewing all facts from the case. Many suspect that he did nothing wrong to constitute a suspension. But every clause in his contract is under review and the league will determine if the incident violates the personal conduct policy. The severity of a suspension, if any, will be based on the incident itself and the outcome — which was officially classified as disorderly conduct and sent away with fines. It is possible that if no suspension is handed down, a fine is still an option. Since the initial charges were reduced, I still do not expect the league to suspend Da'Quan Bowers. But it's up to the league and they may feel there is something in the case that merits a suspension. The post League investigation still pending in Bowers incident appeared first on The Bay Cave.

When most people read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, they are astonished to learn that The Boy Who Lived sleeps in a cupboard under the stairs. For me, though, it always seemed kind of...cozy.
Don't get me wrong—sleeping in a cupboard under the stairs is not ideal, but as a reading nook, it could work. Give me an area with soft lighting, pillows, a blanket, and a book, and I'd call this the perfect reading spot—perhaps not for The Boy Who Lived, but for The Person Who Reads. Reading nooks (or corners) provide readers with a designated space for opening a book and shutting out the rest of the world.
Today, World Book Night is highlighting Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs over on their Twitter and Facebook. It was a real honor to see Miss Peregrine selected for this awesome program, and I figured we'd run a fun giveaway to celebrate today's social media spotlight.
Back in 2012, Ransom sent me a small box full of strange black and white photos from his personal vintage photography collection. I've used them now and again for promotions, and now, dear World Book Night people, we're offering a few up to you.
Enter our little Rafflecopter below for a chance to win a hardcover copy of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and one of three photos from Ransom's personal collection. We've also dug deep into the Quirk archives and wrangled up a bunch of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children posters, which we'll also giveaway to random entries after the first three winners are picked. How's... 20 of those posters sound? Good? Good.
You can enter by following Quirk, Ransom, World Book Night, etc. on Twitter and Facebook. Good luck, and thanks again, World Book Night!
THE SHERLOCK HOLMES HANDBOOK by Ransom Riggs ($3.99)
The first Sherlock Holmes adventure appeared in 1887, but today the detective is more popular than ever-witness the upcoming release date of Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. For every reader who dreams of solving crimes in turn-of-the-century London, The Sherlock Holmes Handbook features skills that all would-be sleuths should know:
MARSHMALLOW MADNESS by Shauna Sever ($3.99)
If you've never tasted a fresh, homemade marshmallow, are you in for a treat! Marshmallow Madness! shows how to whip up dozens of fluffy, puffy flavors—from Strawberry and Vanilla to Buttered Rum, Root Beer Float, Maple Bacon, and more. Author Shauna Sever also includes easy recipes for homemade graham crackers, drinks for mallow dunking, and a host of irresistible desserts, including Lemon Dream Whoopie Pies, Blonde Rocky Road, and S'mores Cupcakes.

more style than function
I love the look of this sink. It is substantial and the angularity is lovely. However, it does not drain well from the corners. There should be more gradient towards the drain for better function.

It's been 20 years since Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden shared the same bill, but this summer the alternative rock legends are reuniting and bringing their highly anticipated U.S. tour to the Sleep Train Amphitheatre. Known for their groundbreaking sound and dynamic live shows, the Trent Reznor-led Nine Inch Nails brought industrial rock to the masses in the '90s, from their breakthrough hit "Closer" to mid-2000s rocker "The Hand That Feeds" and beyond. Fronted by Chris Cornell, one of modern rock's greatest singers, Soundgarden dominated '90s alternative rock radio with anthemic ballads ("Black Hole Sun"), high-energy rockers ("Spoonman") and chart-topping slow burners ("Fell on Black Days"). Here's your chance to experience two of the biggest bands of the last quarter-century in one rockin' summertime concert under the stars. Learn More

A new look at the role of hero and villain in Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner."
"Every Little Step" is a documentary about the casting process starting in 2006 for a Broadway revival of "A Chorus Line," a musical that has been running somewhere in the world since its premiere in 1975 and inspired Richard Attenborough's 1985 film. The musical is about 17 dancers who audition for their roles. The doc honors countless more who auditioned, but were not chosen.
As I watched "Every Little Step," one thought above all others was inspired: These people must love dancing to the point of abandon, to submit themselves to this ordeal. Dancers must be in physical shape as good as most pro athletes and better than many. In fact, they are professional athletes, because although what they perform is art, what they do is demanding physical work.
Often starting as children, they practice, rehearse and at some point forgo ordinary lives to submerge themselves in this process. It's the same with Olympians. They train and condition and focus and sacrifice. They turn up by the hundreds for auditions (the shots of the lineup outside the open call in Manhattan would make a doc in themselves). To get a callback means they are superbly talented. Even then, the odds are they won't be chosen. Then it's back to more painstaking preparation, another job done for the paycheck, more dreams, more lines, more auditions and usually more disappointments.
What we sense in the film is the camaraderie among these hopeful dancers. They've all been through the process before, all been disappointed before, all know better than anyone else what it takes, all believe the best candidates don't always win the jobs.
The stakes are so high that to be one of the judges must cause restless dreams. Among them are Bob Avian, Michael Bennett's fellow choreographer in the 1975 production, and a vivacious force of nature named Baayork Lee, a dancer who played Connie, many people's favorite character, in that production. She handles the lineups, leads routines, is in her presence and energy a testimony that it is possible to survive and find joy in this world.
I was reminded of "The Audition," a film I saw last month, about auditions for the Metropolitan Opera's annual National Council Grand Finals. The art forms are different, the ordeals are the same. Then we buy our tickets and attend, and make dinner plans, worry about parking, chat at intermission and admire what we see, when admiration is not adequate. We should be kneeling on concrete to remind ourselves what dues these artists pay.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Downton Abbey theme for Flagcrackers of Craven party
2:50pm Saturday 11th January 2014 in News
Morris dancers The Flagcrackers of Craven donned slightly different attire for their latest event.
The Border Morris team dressed on a Downton Abbey theme for its annual dinner.
Characters ranged from smoking-jacketed gentlemen to walking wounded servicemen and glamorous flappers at the Golden Lion event in Settle.
The Flagcrackers are preparing for another busy year, and welcome new recruits. "We are a mixed side, which actively encourages families to join," said a spokesman.
"With grandparents and grandchildren in the side together, it's a rare hobby that spans the generations, helping keep the whole family fit and travelling to weekend festivals together."

This is the less-than-vertical line which called out from a distance to be climbed. It follows a line up the prow linking protectable features in 3 pitches. Stretches of this are quite pleasant. The rock faces S or SSW and enjoys good sun. Its elevation is equivalent to upper MacGregor Slab. You can enjoy views of Fall River, Deer Mt., Sheep Lakes, & even the Y Couloir of Ypsilon if you wander left on P3. Allegedly, bighorn sheep will wander down near this rock occasionally.
Wires, Aliens, cams to #3 Camalot, a couple hexes, 60m rope. Extra small Aliens useful for P2 L crack variation.

Yeah, the brush has a huge strategic role in ARAM. Giving people wards would essentially make it worthless. Four wards and you have the entire map covered. I definitely hope they don't add wards.
Speaking of strategic advantages, there should be a offshoot in the middle with baron on the side.
A big objective mid would be a freaking hilarious event.
Could also be used to pull him into the middle to kill people early game... The possibilities are endless!
Junior Member
Honestly, I have had little to no issue with the brush. Unless you are facechecking, you can almost predict where they will stand after a few mins of poking. Now if you are running a non-poke team comp, 1st off you are going to have a difficult time anyways. Hextech has been mentioned and if there is an Akali, or Eve, or Twitch, ect. on the other team, I grab hextech as a mage, or buy a team item as a tank and suggest it for our mage. Wards would make it so there is no cover anywhere, and it will be like the old Summoners Rift ARAM, and I havent met 1 person yet that wants to legitamently go back to that.....
It's called a sweeper...Although I do find that almost no one buys them funny enough. However it's always my first item on any and all ap champs when I see more than 1 stealthy. The item utility it gives your team will be worth deviating from your regular item path 99% of the time in my experience.
kaleb bartlett
it should always be bought when there is a shaco or teemo on the other team.
Hextech Sweeper is now one of my favorite ARAM items. It's like "Oh, I'm walking past this bush- POWDERED VAMPIRE SKIN SPARKLE DUST IN YO FACE!!!"
They stand zero chance.
