Novato, Californ...
McCalls 5106: ©1959; Misses' and Junior Sheath Dress "Easy To Sew". Sheath dress with cut out neck and choice of two set in sleeves. Long darts, back and front, center back zipper and low pleat. Short sleeves, gathered at shoulders, are self lined. Dress may also be lined.
This pattern is labeled "Easy" by the McCall company, and I would agree. It is a basic sheath with a front cut on the fold, two back pieces and two choices of sleeves. It doesn't get much more basic than that!
With minimal grading (from a 32 to 34" bust), I was able to make this fit.
I decided to swap out the sleeves and substitute these from a fabulous blouse pattern.
I also added to and stitched the back vent closed, which is just a personal preference.
To keep the sheer fabric from being incredibly revealing, I underlined the dress front and back pieces with some satin rayon from the stash.
I would highly recommend this pattern. The drafting is lovely.
I just know I will be using the pattern again and again, probably with the slim fitted sleeves. And a bit of modification to the neckline might be fun as well!

Kokomo Tribune
---- — Maconaquah's volleyball team outlasted Kokomo in a back-and-forth match Monday night on the Wildkats' floor. The Braves won the first two sets (25-23, 25-21) and the Kats won the next two sets (25-21, 25-19). The Braves then won the decisive fifth set, 15-12.
"We came out very flat," Mac coach Jessica Metcalf said. "We had no momentum, even in the first two sets. Kudos to Kokomo because they fought hard. The second two sets, we came out even flatter. For some reason, we could not get our intensity level up. Our motto all season has been 'all heart, all hustle, all the time' and I told the girls before the fifth set that we needed [that mindset] from start to finish in that set. Thankfully, we jumped out and were up 13-6. Kokomo crept right back in and we were able to finish it at 15-12."
Metcalf noted Michaela Walters and Ally Exmeyer offered their usual solid play to lead the Braves. Walters had 13 kills, 12 service points and 15 digs and Exmeyer had 14 kills and seven blocks.
Jalyn Windsor also contributed to the Braves' attack, totaling eight kills, seven blocks.
"Jalyn continues to impress me," Metcalf said. "She has such a better sense of where the open spots are and is really getting there with the block."
Also for Maconaquah (21-10), Madison Turner had eight points and 19 digs, Emily Wilson had 12 points and 11 digs and Lynnsie Arion had 11 points and 35 assists.
Tori Lauderbaugh led Kokomo (10-20) with 22 kills and 13 digs. Kirsten Frey had 16 kills and four blocks, Brooke Smith had 15 kills and Alanis Jones had eight kills and one block.
Also for the VolleyKats, Miranda Ogle had 47 assists and 14 digs and Amanda Tran had 31 digs.
"We didn't start off very well," Kokomo coach Jason Watson said. "I felt like we gave away the first set, but we were able to fight back and show a little bit of heart and force a fifth set. We just got a little bit tight toward the end and weren't able to convert when the game was on the line."
Hannah Ballard floored 21 kills to lead the Purple Tigers to a three-set sweep of the Kings. Ballard also had 18 digs and one block kill.
Also for Northwestern (9-12), Kristin Ireland had 14 service points (six aces), 10 digs and eight assists, Sydney Zeck had 33 assists and 13 digs, Kelsey Richards had 12 points (two aces), Alexis Brown had eight kills and one block kill, Whitney Zeck had seven points and five kills and Emily Harshman chipped in 19 digs.
Ashleigh Till served 13 points to lead Taylor and she also topped the Titans in blocks. Kayla Renbarger added eight points.
"I was pleased with.the effort," Taylor coach Denise Leicht said. "The first set we started off slow, but we hung in there and did some good things, digging some hard hits and playing some good defense. Peru hits the ball hard, spiking and serving. It was good to see us respond. We also didn't have many service errors, which is something we have been working on."
Winamac spoiled Carroll's senior night, but the Cougars' lone senior, Bailey Worl, had a strong match. Worl floored 21 kills.
Also for Carroll, Elizabeth Eurit dished 30 assists in her return from a concussion, Libby Eller had four aces and 18 digs and Lauren Worl had six kills and 12 digs.

Natalie's nail experience spans two decades and countless fingers and toes. Fiberglass nails, Shellac manicures, and spa pedicures are her specialties. Extra pampering includes paraffin wax dips and the application of temporary tips. OPI gel colors are available as well.
Originally opened under the name West Coast Trendz, The Dollhouse Nail & Beauty Boutique has expanded in both size and scope. What was once a small beauty suite is now a full-service oasis with private treatment rooms, a boutique, and beauticians on hand to care for nails, skin, and bodies. They offer manicure and pedicure treatments as well as spray tans and bath and body products for sale. The boutique upstairs is designed with play in mind; clients are encouraged to mix and match chic clothing and accessories.
At MJ's & Company, seven beauty specialists serve up hair services and relaxing massages. Stylists and aestheticians dabbles in cuts and color as well as facials and waxing. Massage therapist Cherie, on the other hand, specializes in multiple massage modalities, including trigger point, Swedish, and deep tissue. Each specialist works independently, and clients can book their appointments online.
Deep-seated stresses dissipate at the hands of Limback Wellness Center's certified massage therapists. The center specializes in hot-stone and hot-towel massages, which employ penetrating heat and soothing circular motions to boost circulation, oxygenate muscles, and alleviate the lingering stiffness that comes from serving as the spring festival's Maypole. Aside from their popular heated modalities, the team of male and female massage therapists treats clients to gentle relaxation massages and more focused deep-tissue work.
Aveda, Paul Mitchell, and Dermalogica bottles line the walls of Hair Central. They're pulled down by licensed barbers and cosmetologists who work with guests to create hairstyles that suit facial features. In addition to hair services, the staff also performs custom facials, as well as nail services with OPI polishes.
The stylists at Hair Fiddlers demonstrate a passion for hair not only by listening to clients closely and trying to make them leave with smiles, but also by continuing education and attending hair shows and private classes. Though she's been hard at work since 1993, one of the stylists, Sandy, continues to sharpen her skills, learning both new techniques and new trends. Inside the intimate boutique, the team applies their knowledge with Keratin Complex smoothing treatments, as well as formal services including wedding styling and coloring. They also perform glossing treatments that create bright shininess in case all your light bulbs burn out and you'd rather just wear a lampshade around the house.

WHITEHALL, N.Y. – Whitehall police will take to Twitter Friday in 140 characters or less as part of a global effort to bring attention to the use of social media by law enforcement.
The 24-hr Tweet-a-thon includes more than 100 agencies throughout the U.S., Canacda, UK, Sweden, Iceland and Australia. Agencies will use the hastag #poltwt for the event.
"We are excited to bring together police agencies around the world in this first of its kind social media event," said Lauri Stevens, founder of LAwS Communications and organizer of the Tweet-a-thon. "We hope it sends the message to non-law enforcement that their police officers are up to speed with social media, and that they should use the channel to talk with police officers and to be stewards of public safety."
Whitehall Police Patrolman Tim Hardy said, "By participating in this global event, we hope to bring recognition globally and locally to the law enforcement presence on social media outlets and the power they have in today's world, even agencies as small as we are."

The encroachment upon the social work profession by other professions, notably human services, will be the "real test" of the profession, according to Julia Watkins, executive director of the Council of Social Work Education, the national accrediting body for social work higher education.
At the invitation of Diana Garland, dean of Baylor School of Social Work, Watkins spoke to faculty, staff, students and members of the School's Board of Advocates (BOA) at a special session Sept. 17 at Baylor University. The session included a panel discussion with four tenure-track or recently tenured professors of the School (sidebar).
"We must be clear about what social work is and claim it as our own," said Watkins, who has served at CSWE, based in Washington, D.C, since 2003. "Otherwise we face serious problems in recruitment of our students and professionals," she said, where many programs' rates currently are flat.
Examples of professions that are encroaching upon the social work professional domain, she said, include nursing, marriage and family therapy, counseling, community and social development specializations, sociology and rehabilitative counseling.
Watkins said she believes this ambiguity among the professions is happening because the social work profession has not been unified in its voice.
"We haven't been there speaking as one voice about what social work is and what we bring to the table. As a profession, we haven't grappled sufficiently with this. We are applied sociology - it's doing research; it's going out into communities and being good generalist social work practitioners.
"I think we're the best educated for it. I have no modesty in saying that at all. We've got to be really clear and really forceful with our voice on that," she said.
About 50 people gathered for Watkins' presentation on the challenges that face the social work profession as part of a BOA Retreat Sept. 17 and 18. Garland introduced Watkins saying, "She has a vision for social work education that will inform us about the future of the School of Social Work here in Waco, Texas."
Watkins said the profession also is faced with "formidable challenges" of accountability, quality assurance and the pressures of developing global educational opportunities.
"We must carry out our imperative as a transformative force in the world. We speak implicitly and explicitly to changing lives one at a time and confronting global problems of poverty, insecurity, inequality, racism and a deteriorating global environment," she said.
There are 397 accredited social work undergraduate and 169 graduate programs in the nation representing 50,700 students, "an enormous and significantly conspicuous enterprise," she said. That total includes 143 social work programs in faith-based institutions.
"Maintaining the status quo is not acceptable. We all must have a vision for 2012 and beyond, as Baylor does. Difficult choices must be made and global partners must be identified so that as a profession we can continue to 'give back.'"
Watkins lauded the School's Global Mission Leadership Initiative, in which students from Asia and Southeast Asia earn a joint master's of social work/master's of theological studies degree at Baylor. Upon completion of the degree, they return to their native countries to practice or teach, also serving as field supervisors for Baylor SSW students who will intern in those countries.
"One of the key variants in this equation of global education and social work education is that of leadership. The Baylor model for global leadership is a wonderful example of this kind of development," Watkins said.
Accrediting requirements from the CSWE have reflected the increased emphasis on accountability, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a "quest for excellence," Watkins said. Schools no longer can concentrate on content solely but now must be accountable for measuring outcomes and outputs. "We could no longer suggest it was simply value-added and not demonstrate what it meant," she said.
Baylor School of Social Work, accredited in 2005 for eight years, will be re-examined for accreditation in 2013. Faculty and administrations already have begun weekly meetings to examine its curriculum to adjust to the new requirements.
"We must always return to the core values of social work practice," Watkins said, quoting from the profession's nationally recognized standards: "Service, social justice, the dignity and worth of the person, the importance of human relationships...these cannot and will not be put aside," she said.

Recent BuildingGreen resources give a pretty good picture of just what building enclosure commissioning (BECx) is and how its use is on the rise in high-performance buildings. But a logical follow-up question I get asked a lot is: how can I get the necessary education to become proficient in BECx—or actually get credentialed or certified as a BECx agent or expert?
There are several questions wrapped up here, and I want to take them one at a time to keep this complex topic at least somewhat straight.
Although there are a number of significant efforts under way on BECx, this is a relatively new field, at least in terms of standards, courses, professional exams, and credentials or designations.
All of these issues need to be addressed for different target audiences—trade professionals (in vocational education), technicians (two-year schools), and construction managers/engineers/architects (four-year university programs)—as well as different building professional designations: a building enclosure commissioning agent versus a building enclosure specialist.
One effort is the combined and integrated work of the National Institute for Buildings (NIBS), the ASTM E2813 working group, and the Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council (BETEC).
NIBS is working with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on certifying the organizations that will give BECx examinations. BETEC has developed a full matrix of BECx course content. ASTM E2813 has developed minimum core competencies for fundamental and enhanced BECx service providers and intends to offer a certification for BECx field professionals.
The group is developing course materials and exams for three different "tiers" or levels of expertise: trade school, 2-year college, and 4-year academic programs for specialists. Philip Schneider of NIBS told me the credential probably won't be available for two to five years, and he thinks that the initial focus will be on the 4-year specialist level.
Meanwhile, the University of Wisconsin–Madison has developed a two-day BECx professional development engineering course, including an examination and two certifications. The exam has two parts, reflecting course content and the two certifications on the commissioning process and building enclosure science. The course will be offered in late May 2014 (a course brochure is available).
For quite some time now, DOE's Building America program has been trying to work with colleges and universities (particularly land grant schools) to develop coordination and integration of building science education materials and approaches to high-performance buildings.
In the latest effort, the National Consortium of Housing Research Center's Joint Committee on Building Science Education is working with the Associated Schools of Construction to develop and amass building science education resources and minimum requirements for two and four-year schools.
This effort has a decidedly residential slant, and is not as formally focused on building enclosure commissioning, but the principles and processes have a lot of crossover with the more commercial building-focused BECx.
I wish I could tell you that there was one clear course of action, educational pathways, or credentials to qualify you as a bona fide building enclosure commissioning agent or expert. But we are simply not quite there yet.
We are making significant progress, and demand for qualified BECx professionals is likely to continue to grow, but perhaps the best advice at this point is:
On the first point, I want to put in a quick plug for a course we developed here at BuildingGreen: Fundamentals of High-Performance Building Assemblies. This four-unit online course provides methodologies for how best to design and manage details to achieve superior hygrothermal—moisture and thermal—performance.

Recovering From an Addiction to Alcohol: Part II - Digestion
…issue, I would suggest that anyone in recovery take a good digestive enzyme (one that contains bile salts) to aid in fat digestion.

This is a great homebrew shop! They carry just about everything and let you buy only what you need so there's no pile of leftovers that never get used. John and his team offer excellent advice too. And you can get a pint over at the brewery side of the business to help make the shopping experience go even smoother.

Doesn't look good at present and Hannahan to DH left me scratching my head. Guess it had more to do with him being a lefty against a righthander. Dusty is Dusty. I've learned to accept it and move on. Yes, he makes some really questionable moves, but 3 of 4 championship seasons gives me pause, but not on a night like this for some reason. Mea Culpa.

Candia chief's persistence gets couple out of burning home
On Tuesday, flames were shooting from the barn of the Rodiers' home on Depot Road in Candia.
R ay Rodier says he is grateful to the "pushy" police chief who saved Rodier and his wife, Marlene, from a fire that destroyed a 100-year-old barn and a good part of their house.
"He broke in through the front door, and I was in the bathroom downstairs and my wife was upstairs, and he wouldn't let us finish up, he just grabbed us and got us out of there," said Ray Rodier, who served as Candia's animal control officer for 27 years until he retired a few years ago. "The chief was very, very pushy, but in a good way. He is a good guy I tell you, in fact the entire police force is great."
"...I ran to the front door, and I saw smoke coming out, but not as heavy as out back, so I forced my way inside, and helped Ray and Marlene out of the house," McGillen said. "Ray was disoriented so I grabbed him and got them both to a neighbor's house."
"Mike and I grew up together, and he is a great guy. I would give up my right arm for him," Richard said.

After a multi-agency search and rescue, a California hiker is recovering upon injuring his leg west of Victor.
Ravalli County Sheriff Chris Hoffman said that about 9:45 p.m. on Sunday, sheriff's deputies and members of the Ravalli County Search and Rescue team responded to the Bear Creek Overlook for an injured and lost hiker.
The 50-year-old man was hiking alone when he left the Bear Creek Overlook Trail and injured his leg while crossing a rocky slope south.
Rescuers tracked him using the GPS coordinates from his 9-1-1 cell phone call.
A Medstar helicopter spotted the man from the air.
Then, deputies and search and rescuers hiked in and helped treat his wounds until a Malmstrom Air Force Base chopper took him to a Missoula hospital.

GRAND PRAIRIE - Lone Star Park wants to move to the front of the sports-bar pack.
"In the past people would come out here and it was only horse racing," said spokesman Brian Pochman. "Now you can come out here and you don't have to worry about missing the Cowboys or the Rangers."
The massive simulcast building next to the grandstands has been completely renovated, with new terminals, walls of high-definition TV's, a VIP lounge and upscale bar.
Since Global Gaming Solutions bought the track last year, it's pumped well over a million dollars into upgrades.
"This is awesome," said customer Don Brogdon. "I mean awesome."
Brogdon has been coming to Lone Star for about eight years.
"I've been to a number of [gambling facilities,]" Brogdon said. "This is the nicest I've been to."
Unlike tracks in neighboring states, Lone Star Park does not also have the lure of casino gambling. It has struggled for years.
So track owners hope to reach out to all sports fans who want a high-tech sports bar, with a little added kick.
"It's the only bar in the metroplex where you can come in and actually sit at the bar, and drink a beer and bet a horse race, if you want," Pochman said.
And if you're looking for a tip, look up Don Brogdon. We asked him if he was winning or losing Wednesday.
"Right now I'm even," he said. "So that's winning."

- Summary: Based on the Japanese reality show (also adapted in the UK as Dragon's Den, currently on BBC America), five successful businessmen and women judge budding entrepreneurs to determine whether to invest in their ideas or not.

Negative: 2 out of 11
The moneymen ask informed questions and make shrewd decisions, a welcome relief from Donald Trump's capricious calls on Burnett's "Celebrity Apprentice."
ABC's Shark Tank is easily the best new reality TV show to air this summer (which, admittedly, isn't saying much).
It sounds gimmicky and visually tedious, with most of the so-called action taking place in a conference room. It's all those things, but the moments of misery make it memorable.
Brisk, sharp and surprisingly emotional for what essentially is a series of venture-capital-investment interviews, the show--based on the Japanese format "Dragons' Den"--balances the human element of its wish-fulfilling conceit with at least the illusion of the business legitimacy that made Burnett's "The Apprentice" such campy fun.
The cleverest part of the show is that it makes the judges into contestants; they compete against one another for the right to invest in a business, and they haggle with the entrepreneurs over the terms of their investment.
Business buffs may love it, but Shark Tank lacks the lush visuals of "Survivor" and the star power of Trump. It just doesn't have the same bite.
There are so many things I hate about his new show, In the Shark Tank, that I started numbering them just to calm down. Where to start?
Score distribution:
Positive: 18 out of 27
Mixed: 0 out of 27
Negative: 9 out of 27
Jun 1, 2013Viewing several seasons of Shark Tank, I find the show very interesting from the standpoint of someone that works in lending with various companies. Although it may seem that the "Sharks" are very picky and ask a lot of questions, they have a point. In order for a business to succeed a plan needs to be in place and results need to be documented. The show obviously does not detail everything but shows the highlights in order to get the viewer interested. It would be interesting to see how the businesses do that actually receive the money and or maybe even the ones that don't. They do show one every now and then but a past show would be definitely be an interest. Although, the businesses are there for a real need it is fun to watch the "Sharks" make deals among each other and to see the interesting products they bring in. I have ordered a couple of items after viewing on the show that may have never seen before this. Also, I believe even if these businesses all don't receive the money, by being on this show their businesses grows from mere audience viewing and interest.… Expand

At the Batchelor Children's Research Institute at the University of Miami, kids are riding a special stationary bike attached to a video game. To win the game, they must pedal faster and faster.
Then, they move onto dancing, jumping, kids yoga and other workout routines cleverly masquerading as "games."
Later, the kids learn about healthy eating — and the dangers of sugary sodas and juices, whole milk and snacks like potato chips and cookies.
It's all part of CRUNCHTIME (Children's Rehabilitation Unit for Nutrition & Cardiac Health), a nine-month program the university began four years ago to help overweight or health-challenged children and adolescents get fit and healthy.
"We've seen kids lose a tremendous amount of weight," said Dr.Tracie Miller, program director. "We've definitely had them become more active and engaged. We do a lot of education, with the children and the parents. Getting the parents onboard is key."
According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than one-third of U.S. adults are obese. Obesity has been linked to heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, making it one of the leading causes of preventable death.
Historically, obesity primarily affected adults. But in the last 20 years, that has changed: 15 to 25 percent of American children and adolescents are now obese. From 1980 to 2008, the prevalence of obesity in children ages 6 to 11 tripled from 6.5 percent to 19.6 percent. In teenagers, it has more than tripled, from 5 percent to 18.1 percent in the same time frame.
CRUNCHTIME is one of a growing number of programs aimed at helping reverse obesity at a young age and teaching children the importance of fitness and healthy eating so they develop good habits at an early age.
Open to kids from 5 to 18, the program begins with an in-depth, two-day physical assessment by pediatricians, nutritionists, psychologists and fitness experts. An exercise program and diet is tailor-made for the child, who returns twice a week for one-on-one fitness sessions at UM's special pediatric gym and nutritional follow-up. The program also targets children with chronic illnesses such as diabetes or cardiac disease.
After three months, the child — and parent — take home what they have learned and are monitored for six additional months. And therein lies the challenge.
"During the initial three months, everybody improves," said Gabriel Somarriba, one of the program's two physical therapists. "The program is set up to have the patient increasingly take on responsibility for his or her own health. We have a lot less data after nine months. But we've learned that people are not as compliant when they are not monitored."
In fact, at least one patient has returned to CRUNCHTIME for a second try.
Key to success is parent participation, say program organizers. If the parents don't change their eating and fitness habits at home, the child will probably fall back into those bad habits, they say.
"It really only works when the parents decide to make these changes for themselves," Somarriba said. "Essentially, the family has to buy into it."
Miller agrees.
"You can't isolate a child and say you have a weight problem and the rest of us don't and we're going to keep the cookies in the cupboard," she said. "It's much more successful when the parents buy in."
South Miami Hospital is also combating adolescent obesity, but in a somewhat more dramatic way. The hospital is one of a small number to offer bariatric surgery to adolescents. The earliest a teen can have the procedure is at 14, when bone mass is considered mature enough.
Hundreds of teens have had the various surgeries — lap band, bariatric and sleeve — since the hospital first offered the surgery in 1998, said Dr. Anthony Gonzalez, head of South Miami Hospital's Weight-Loss Surgery Program. Seventy-five percent of patients have been female.
Teens must pass a rigorous screening by doctors, psychologists and physiotherapists to become eligible for the procedures, and must be morbidly obese.
"We understand that obesity is a big problem in this country, not only for adults but for children, and it's growing exponentially," Gonzalez said. "We're now seeing kids with high blood pressure, diabetes and sleep apnea. We're seeing kids 100 to 200 pounds overweight."
Gonzalez is the first to admit that bariatric surgery for youths is somewhat controversial. Some in the medical community have questioned whether children that age should be making decisions about surgery and whether such drastic measures are appropriate for a minor.
"A lot of hospitals probably don't get involved in this because the amount of work it takes to create an adolescent program is tremendous," he said.
Yet South Miami Hospital touts a higher degree of success for teen bariatric surgery over adult bariatric surgery.
"We've noticed that success and compliant rates in kids is better," Gonzalez said. "You can teach a new dog a new trick rather than an old dog a new trick. It's a behavioral problem, and it's hard to teach a 40- or 50-year-old new behaviors."
Memorial Hospital is getting into kids' fitness, too, offering a boot camp for kids at its fitness center.
The program, held Saturdays from 10 to 11 a.m., is geared to any child that wants to get into shape, not just overweight children. The hospital also offers a weight management program for kids age 6 to 12 called Shapedown.
It is offered for two hours on Saturdays for 10 weeks. Shapedown teaches kids lifestyle changes but does not seek a quick fix or a "diet."

But for many women, especially those fond of eccentric intellectual types, he fits the role perfectly. Known for the range of quirky, often otherworldly characters he has portrayed, Goldblum is adept at playing lead and supporting roles in dramas and comedies alike. A native of Pittsburgh, PA, where he was born October 22, 1952, Goldblum moved to New York at the age of 17 to pursue an acting career. He got his start at Sanford Meisner's distinguished Neighborhood Playhouse, and in the '70s began performing in a wide variety of on and off-Broadway productions. When he was 22, Goldblum made his film debut with a small role as a rapist in Michael Winner's brutal revenge drama Death Wish (1974). He was performing on-stage in the El Grande de Coca Cola review when Robert Altman gave him a small part in California Split (1974) and a slightly larger role in Nashville (1975). Afterwards, Goldblum was steadily employed as a bit player in both major and minor features, turning in one of his most notable performances as a nervous houseguest struggling to remember his mantra in the Los Angeles-set segment of Annie Hall (1977). In 1980, Goldblum branched out into television, starring opposite Ben Vereen in the short-lived television detective comedy Tenspeed and Brown Shoe. As Brown Shoe, Goldblum played an uptight stockbroker trying to make it as a hardboiled private detective. Although the role may have given him greater recognition, the actor gained his first really favorable reviews playing a tabloid magazine reporter in The Big Chill (1983). This led to leading roles in such films as Into the Night (1985), where Goldblum played an aerospace engineer opposite Michelle Pfeiffer, and Silverado (also 1985), which cast him as a villainous gambler. In 1986, he had his first hit movie with David Cronenberg's terrifying sci-fi-horror film The Fly (1986), playing a driven scientist whose research turns him into a gruesome mutant. His co-star was his then-wife, Geena Davis, whom he met while they were on the set of the comedy-thriller Transylvania 6-5000 (1985). The couple divorced in the early '90s and Goldblum then embarked on a highly publicized relationship with actress Laura Dern that broke up in the mid-'90s.In 1989, Goldblum made a favorable transatlantic impression in the British romantic comedy The Tall Guy, playing a perpetually unemployed actor who is cast as the lead of a musical about the Elephant Man. He continued to work steadily throughout the subsequent decade, appearing in films of markedly varying quality. He found great success in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, playing a mathematician in one of the decade's biggest blockbusters. In 1996, Goldblum again explored blockbuster territory with a leading role as a computer genius in Independence Day. He reprised his role from Jurassic Park in that film's sequel 1997 sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. He starred opposite Eddie Murphy in the notorious bomb Holy Man.At the beginning of the next decade Goldblum worked primarily in independent films such as Burr Steers' debut Igby Goes Down, and playing the romantic and professional rival to Bill Murray in Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. In 2006 he scored a role in his most mainstream film in quite sometime as part of the impressive ensemble in Barry Levinson's satire Man of the Year. In 2009, Goldblum joined the cast of Law & Order: Criminal Intent in the show's eighth season to play the role of Detective Zach Nichols. 2010 found the actor co-starring with Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton for the showbiz comedy Morning Glory. In 2014, he re-teamed with Anderson in The Grand Budapest Hotel. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Beijing dismisses calls to free Liu Xiaobo
Appeals to free laureate by more than 134 Nobel winners, hundreds of activists fall on deaf earsLiu Xiaobo and his wife Liu Xia

- December 6, 2012
The Chinese government has dismissed a letter signed by 134 Nobel laureates calling for the release of 2010 Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo.
"China is firmly opposed to the outside world interfering in China's judicial sovereignty and internal affairs in any form," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei told a press briefing yesterday.
"Liu Xiaobo was sentenced to imprisonment by China's judicial authorities for violating the law," he said. Liu was jailed in for 11 years in 2009 for alleged subversion.
The Nobel laureates along with hundreds of Chinese activists had called on Communist Party secretary-general Xi Jinping in two separate letters to free Liu.
Both letters were made public on Tuesday ahead of Human Rights Day which falls on Sunday and just before Chinese writer Mo Yan receives his Nobel Prize for literature..
In their letter, the 134 laureates also called for the release of Liu's wife, Liu Xia, who is under house arrest.
"We respectfully urge you to release Dr Liu Xiaobo, the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, and his wife, Liu Xia," the letter said.
No government "can restrict freedom of thought and association without having a negative effect on important human innovation," they stressed.
Among the laureates who signed the letter were Archbishop Desmond Tutu from South Africa and Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.
In the other letter 297 mainland intellectuals, writers, activists and others petitioned Xi, the Politburo and the National People's Congress to start legal proceedings to rectify the wrongful conviction of Liu and to stop isolating his wife.
It also called for the release of all those jailed because of their political views, expression of ideas and religious faith, and demanded an end to the surveillance of dissidents.
"The existence of prisoners of conscience does not help China establish an image of a responsible country. Ending this situation is an important criterion for China to move toward political civilization," they said.
"China is facing many complex problems. Reform is not easy. Let's do it together," they added.

SEAFOODNEWS.COM (by John Sackton) — May 21, 2014 — The Bristol Bay sockeye salmon run this year is forecast to be around 26.58 million fish, with a commercial harvest pegged at 16.86 million fish.
Last year's harvest was around 15.5 million fish, slightly below the forecast. The reduction in supply led to a major price spike, with the base price to harvesters around $1.50, the highest level it had been in many years.
This year the run may be coming in early. Packers report that tenders will be on the ground by June 9th.
This year, the commercial Togiak herring fishery began on April 27th, compared to May 11th in 2013 and May 14th in 2012.
In 2013, the date where Bristol Bay harvests first passed 1 million fish per day - which normally indicates the peak of the run is arriving, was June 23rd. That was the second earliest date since 1993, according to ADF&G.
This year the peak run may be even earlier, coming between June 22 and June 29th, according to some observers.

Apple doubles down on iPad by doubling max storage to 128GB
Not a play to squeeze out the MacBook line, argues analyst
Computerworld - Apple today doubled the maximum storage space of its fourth-generation iPad to 128GB, and announced it would start selling the new tablet next week.
The Wi-Fi-only 128GB iPad will cost $799, while the cellular-enabled model will run $929. Those prices are $100 more than the corresponding 64GB iPad SKUs.
Apple pitched the increased storage as a business play, citing the iPad's success in the Fortune 500, and running testimonials from several corporations who use the tablet.
"Companies regularly utilizing large amounts of data such as 3-D CAD files, X-rays, film edits, music tracks, project blueprints, training videos and service manuals all benefit from having a greater choice of storage options for iPad," Apple said in a statement Tuesday.
The new iPad will also be a money maker.
According to the latest estimates by IHS iSuppli, Apple pays $9.60 per 16GB of NAND flash memory, the type used for iPad storage. But the company increases the retail price by $100 for each step-up in storage.
A 128GB iPad's NAND RAM costs Apple approximately $77, twice the $38 for the 64GB model. Compared to the 64GB version, the 128GB iPad will generate about $62 in additional profit per unit. Apple's profit will be $142 higher for the 128GB iPad than the 32GB device, and a whopping $233 more than for each 16GB tablet.
The 128GB of solid-state storage is the same amount that comes standard with Apple's top-end 11-in. MacBook Air, and the entry-level 13-in. MacBook Air and 13-in. MacBook Pro with Retina laptops. It's double that of the least-expensive 11-in. MacBook Air.
But the storage space similarities don't portend a push against Mac laptops, said Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research. "I do think they would like to find a way to get some, or even many, users of PCs onto the iPad," Gottheil said of the storage increase.
Gottheil's comment echoed the pitch Apple made today when it announced the beefed-up storage. "Customers ... are finding more great reasons to work, learn and play on their iPads rather than their old PCs," said Philip Schiller, Apple's top marketing executive.
It shouldn't be a surprise that Schiller didn't include Macs in his cannibalization scenario, even though Apple has been adamant that if its products are at risk of cannibalization, it would rather Apple, not a rival, make the replacement sale.
But could that be one of the reasons why Apple doubled the storage of the iPad, to capture sales it fears losing as its self-proclaiming "post-PC" era develops?
Gottheil didn't think so.
While it may seem that an iPad with a larger amount of storage space could better compete with a laptop on productivity and creativity, Gottheil disagreed. To morph the iPad into something akin to, say, Microsoft's Surface Pro -- which most experts see as a rival of ultra-light notebooks rather than tablets -- Apple would have to come up with a slick, integrated keyboard for the iPad and modify iOS to, for instance, allow true app multi-tasking, he argued.
"I'm not sure if more storage is the answer," Gottheil said, pointing out that with cloud options, users can store their documents, video files and the like online. "The real challenge is the memory of the iPad, and looming large apps, especially [Microsoft] Office, that require more [memory]."
The 128GB iPad will join the other models of the fourth-generation tablet -- 16GB, 32GB and 64GB -- on Tuesday, Feb. 5, when the tablet goes on sale at Apple's online and retail stores, and at some Apple resellers.

On Demand Video: Ouch! Luke Bryan Falls Off The Stage!
by Rob Lucas
posted Jun 2 2014 5:29AM
Luke Bryan recently had a Spinal Tap moment while performing in Charlotte, North Carolina. He fell off the stage! Man, this looks scary...he could have severly banged his head if it hit one of the protective fences. He's at Darien Lake August 16th. Hope this doesn't happen there, as the stage is about 4 ft higher than in other outdoor sheds. (Artists have complained about that for awhile.) RLITM has always wondered why Darien doesn't lower it to make the pit area more intimate and close to the performer? Bet it's due to giving the lawn people a better view..

Appearances were made for judging.
No one is allowed to cite "Audrey Hepburn" as a style icon ever again.
A hoodie does not count as outerwear.
A pair of Uggs does not count as footwear.
A Chanel 2.5 does not justify wearing pajama pants in public.
You are not allowed to wear the Burberry check (technically the haymarket check). Even ironically. Even to a Burberry check-themed costume party.

74 thoughts on "Free Heinz Ketchup at Target!"
I still had 4 of the "or" coupons from last week and was able to pick these up today. Though my store had them for $2.69, at $0.69 it's still a steal! My hubby goes threw so much ketchup too, such a good find for us. thanks kcl.
I RUSHED out the next day to get these and there were just 10 left on the shelf…
The coupon beeped each time, but the cashier pushed it through bc she read the coupon..
I have 2 coupons left that state OR, but now I'm worried to go get another 2 with everyone's comments about the Q being updated and Target not allowing them
and i did not get the last 10 on the shelf, i only got two
My coupon also read ketchup AND Ore Ida
my coupon said with purchase of all heinz items and in the coupon says the ketchup and 3 ore-ida frozen potatoes not ketchup or ore-ida
they changed the coupon
Didn't work for me either. Cashier said I have to get the Ore-Ida items as well. That's what the computer says. Nothing she could do she said their system has been updated and Target has been really strict about these coupons. But the coupon says "OR" on it. Very confusing! Maybe trying a different Target will help.
1.99 at my target in plainfield, sweeeet scored 4 free bottles!
They changed the coupon. It now reads you get $2 off when you purchase the ketchup AND three 19 oz or larger frozen potatoes.
Target has a corrected Heinz coupon on there website. You need to buy all the products to get the $2.00 off. I guess they caught there mistake. I am glad I printed mine right away.
I printed mine out a few days ago and got the free 38oz ketchup – it stated "ONE 38-OZ OR LARGER HEINZ KETCHUP OR THREE 19-OZ OR LARGER ORE-IDA FROZEN POTATOES", just printed out a new coupon and it says "AND" instead of "OR".
Everyone was much luckier than I. Heinz is $3.39 here, AND I printed the coupon today where the coupon now says "One 38-oz. or larger Heinz Ketchup AND (emphasis mine) Three 19-oz. or larger Ore-Ida frozen potatoes."
Thankfully, at least the potatoes were $2.69 and buy 2, get one free here. So the four items came to a total of $6.77, which is still an OK deal.
i went to my local target to get the ketcup today andy the cashier told me that i had to buy the ore-ida frozen potatoes too! so i had to put it back. did t hey change the coupon cause now it says and on it
Yes, they changed the coupon. If you printed it the first couple of days, it said OR. It has been reset and now says AND. I used my first two for free ketchup. When I saw that I could print again, I noticed it now says AND. Drat!
2,64 at my Target, coupon beeped but was k1 after she saw it was for right item. Also used my extra 5% in addition to my red card 5%, so got it for about .33
looks like this coupon is gone
I can't find the coupon
The coupon is no longer available
Mine Target had them for 1.99 Free Ketchup I got two of them no problems at all
went to print these and they are not there anymore I guess target took them off anyone else having a problem
Yes, they seem to be gone now…
Can I use this coupon at Wal-Mart since their policy says they accept competitor coupons?
I don't think so. I tried using it at Wal-Mart yesterday and they said they can't use it if it doesn't list a specific price for the item. Ketchup is 1.98 at my Wal-Mart and the manager rolled her eyes at me and said they can't just GIVE me 2 cents. Blah. All that nonsense wasted 20 minutes.
Went to target yesterday morning where the ketchup was 1.99 and the shelf was completely wiped out. Could it be possible that they pulled them off? Was able to get a 40oz at a different target for .69. I told my friend about them so she went this morning, she just called me that they were all gone.
Mine were $1.99 and I was super excited to pick up free ketchup but when I got to the cashier the coupon beeped and she said I was missing another Item so I told the coupon specified OR and she scanned again didnt work so she called a manager and the manager said It will not work because the product needs to be more than the coupon value. So they told I could not use it. I was super bummed and I will go back and try again.
I paid 69 cents each and used both. It beeped as well but the cashier allowed it. They are supposed to only accept 1 but the cashier accepted 2.
Ok krazy coupon lady I was at Target today with my kids got 4Heinz Ketchups and when I was checking out they told me I can only get one cuz it said one per guest I don't get it there were 4 of us ?
Looks like u got cashier that is new in the store bcoz she was supposed to allow per each guest.
Well it was not cashier it was the lod lady that sucks but ohhh well
My local Target had them for $2.69 so i grabbed two @ .69¢ each
Same here .
Same here.. But the best part is i bought that for 69 cents and 2 Nivea lip balm(used 3 off of 2 lip balms and the lip balms which had bonus lip balms 1 free making 4 of them 50 cents each) and i got a catalina of $4 off of 2 sally Hansen nail polish strips.. When combined with MQ it was a MM.. But but but the cashier aid the MQ isn't scanning and the whole deal went into vain.. I asked her to punch in th ocde ans she says that the code isnt clear what do i do? Did anyone ever had problem with scanning coupons and how did u react?
You should go to customer service then and ask them for help…i am sure they will help you out bcoz its their register fault….hth
I will try it today n see.. Thanks for the advise
since the coupon beeped for us the cashier kept saying we had to buy the ida potatoes AND ketchup. i kept showing her the OR but she didnt believe me! finally she said well I'll just go ahead and do it. also the coupons say one per person on them.
I just got 2 free bottles today! I thought it was the small ones considering they were free, but it was a big size bottle!
Got two free bottles of ketchup! They were 1.99 at my Target (southern California) and they DID beep at the register. I had a very easy going cashier though who just checked the size of the bottle then pushed it through
I'm glad you had a friendly cashier!
can you use this coupon at walmart as a competitor coupon
Unfortunately, you can't use Target coupons at Wal-Mart. They won't accept them because they have no where to mail them to!
My Wal-Mart accepts most Target coupons, they just enter it in as a price match. However, I attempted to use this coupon and they said it's against their policy to use a competitor coupon that's more than the price of the item. But she used my other Target coupons and just gave them back because they have no use for them.
My target allows 4 coupons per person. They were $1.99 so I went to score 4 bottles. Got to the register and they don't scan. Cashier didn't know what to do, so called someone else over who didn't know either. After 4 ppl came over to check, the head cashier came and looked at the coupons and the product and told her to push it through since the product was right. She also said they were contacting corporate to tell them to remove coupon since it's obviously a mistake….so hurry and print while u can!
I have 2 mac computes and Target coupons print on my desktop but will not print on my laptop. I use Firefox on both. I wish they would hurry up and get this fixed. Frustrating!!!!!!
I had problems printing from my Macbook but I did a software update and was able to print afterwards.
I know, what's up with that issue?? I've always been able to print coupons from my macbook but last week it pulled up an error code. Since when has this been happening?
my husband tried Safari & it worked

Pretty cool! Nice to see you back on KCL!
Thanks! Nice to be back!
Mine were 2.69 for the 38 oz. good deal still. This coupon did beep, be prepared.
Same here. 69 cents was a good enough price for me since I'm out of ketchup and have plenty of free Alexia fries from last week!
same here…BUT there was a big temp price sign above it that said 2.00 so I got it for free.
Where are you located?
Mine were $2.69 so it was $0.69 for me! The coupon did beep as well, but the cashier pushed it through without issue.
Yeah my target was $2.60 something
I was jut there and scored 8 bottles for free!!
That's great!
Did you know that repeatedly hitting the "57″ mark on a glass Heinz ketchup bottle makes the ketchup pour out more quickly and easily? It was intentionally designed that way!
hey where have u been?? haven't seen u on here in forever!!
Hi Dee! I was waiting until I ran out of ketchup to return.
ha lol…i would be " hey where's that funny pizzaz at!!"
i cant get target coupons to print.
if you are on a mac and using chrome, try firefox. that's the problem for me
I had to use explorer to print my target coupons.
try going through firefox, i had the same problem.
I called Target and they said that the 38 oz was over $2.50
That would still be a great deal! .50 cents for ketchup.
Another reason to go to Target, hooray!
I wish they would fix the issue with Java so Mac users could print this awesome coupon!
it works with firefox for me, just not chrome.
Did yours print funny from Firefox? I printed a couple Target coupons
from Firefox last night and they didn't say "Target Coupon," the fine print was all messed up, and they just look weird.
My "Target" coupons always print weird, but they DO print I just cut around them and leave them larger than normal. I use Safari.
Yes, just noticed that. The bar code is still intact, so we will see if it works!

Diffusion of Information in Medical Care
AbstractThis paper presents evidence that doctors behave very differently in making treatment recommendations depending on the region where they work, creating large variations in the quantities of care delivered to seemingly standardized populations. This evidence on "variations" (and the failure of normal explanations of the variations) leaves almost by default the idea that incomplete diffusion of information about the efficacy of medical information must be largely responsible. The paper then discusses reasons why this problem might occur: difficulties in collecting information about the success of medical procedures; difficulties in establishing property rights to such information, even if it were to be collected; and liability considerations that hinder adoption of any information that is collected. It concludes with some suggestions for addressing these problems.
