Christmas trees festival will give Otley a boost
8:00am Friday 7th December 2012 in Local news By Jim Jack, Reporter
Charities, businesses and community groups are supporting the 2012 Otley Christmas Tree Festival.
The three-day event will see 35 organisations decorating trees inside All Saints Parish Church next week, bringing the total to 36.
The public will be able to view each of the trees, and donate to the groups whose efforts have impressed them most, between noon and 6pm from Thursday, December 13, until Saturday, December 15.
A Christmas tree service will also be held at 4pm on Sunday, December 16.
The festival was started by Otley Chamber of Trade last year as a way of attracting more people to the town while raising money for good causes.
Chamber president Tim Wilkinson, who with his wife, Helen, organises the event, said: "The debut event really caught the imagination with our local volunteer groups choosing themes for their trees, such as poppies for the Royal British Legion, gingerbread horses for Riding for the Disabled and business cards for our own chamber tree.
"The comments in our visitor book really warmed the heart and some were so enthusiastic and moving that the event just had to be repeated. It has indeed expanded to include the host of community groups that have contacted us through the year.
"Community groups and charities have really felt the squeeze this year, but hopefully the delight the festival provides will be worth a few coins from anyone's pocket.
"We hope it will continue to grow and enhance Otley's appeal as a town worth visiting, especially around the festive season."
Groups entering trees range from Otley Mothers' Union and Otley Brass Band to Otley Sailing Club and St Gemma's Hospice.
The chamber's efforts to add more festive dazzle to the whole of Otley, meanwhile, have been continuing.
The organisation has installed 130 mini-Christmas trees above shops and businesses and invested another £1,000 in additional lights to illuminate large trees around the town.

Ryan Wang may only be 5-years-old, but he has the talent of a seasoned professional.
The young piano prodigy appeared on "The Ellen Show" to show off his skills.
But playing in front of Ellen's crowd isn't the only audience who has seen this kid play. Ryan, who has been playing piano for less than two years, has already performed at the world famous Carnegie Hall.
And we can't forget to mention that he speaks two languages.

Wedding Week – The Bridal Look
Welcome back to wedding week here at Bower Power – and nothing says Bower Bridal Power like the name Maggie Sottero.
I love me some Maggie. We go way back. Back to my first ever bridal show. I wore a Maggie gown that night…and it was love at first fitting. It was plumb amazing. The workmanship of a gown…the feel of the fabric…the way that this woman designs bridal dresses…well, let's just say it is enough to make my blood boil over. So I knew that when it came time to say 'I do' – I wanted Maggie to be there with me holding my love handles. Enter the Shannon dress. It was everything I wanted. Sweetheart neckline WITH STRAPS, a corset back with no tail, a little sparkle up top and some interest in the back. My seamstress added the french bustle to really make Shannon shine.
Next came the hair and veil. Hair was going to be up. I had learned long ago that curls fall flat in Georgia heat…even in October. So I knew that my best bet to beat the humidity was to pin-er-up and spray the heck outta her. My lovely hairdresser fixed it the morning of the wedding with lots of lift in my bangs area and lots of curls in the back. The curls were perfect for hiding the place where the extra-long veil pinned in. I actually borrowed my veil from a local bridal shop (where I had done some modeling) and the owner was gracious enough to allow me the entire week with the princess-like sweep of fabric.
The shoes were actually free too because I already had owned them. They were my favorite pair for bridal shows and they were perfectly broken in. The 3.5″ heel was oh-so-comfy and I didn't have a single blister – even after dancing the night away.
As a bouquet, I decided to carry my grandmother's family bible. Since I am not a really flowery type of girl – especially since blooms cost an arm and a leg in October – the Bible was actually the perfect representation of who I am…low maintanence, grounded, and totally in-tuned with morality. Stop laughing Jeremy. In actuality I am not those things. I am, however, incredibily in love with Jesus. And that was enough to convince me that the thing I wanted most to carry down that aisle to my future was the word of love.
And love would suit me just fine – especially since you get jewelry on the day you celebrate it. Our rings are white gold and we were able to find the perfect fits for our busy (but oh-so-chic-renovating) lifestyle My ring is really really thin with diamonds half-way around. And Jeremy's is one of the narrowest we could find but with a little detail encircling the top and bottom.
Finally – one of the cheapest things that I had on that day was the paper parasol that we got to take lots of photos with. I love the southern charm of a parasol, don't you? And mine were super affordable since I ordered a dozen off of Oriental Trading and doled out others to the bridal party gals.
So there you have it – a complete rundown of the things that made me feel like a fairy princess on my big day.
Anything surprise ya? Did you see that Bible bouquet coming? Or maybe you just thought that I played it safe on my big day when you did something truly outrageous. Spill those blissful day beans!

beautiful wedding!
Gretchen permalinkOctober 7, 2009
Beautiful! We took pictures with parasols too. They are some of my favorite pictures from the day.
October 7, 2009
Am LOVING these wedding posts!
Outrageous? Not a word anyone would attach to me, but a couple of things stand out in my memory…
Purple is my favorite color. Bar none. Has been my favorite color forever.
So one might think that my bridesmaids' dresses would be in some lovely shade of lavender or amethyst.
I HATE green. Have always hated green.
Their gowns were a lovely pale shade of celery. (Never saw that one comin', did you?! And btw, two walls in my house are painted a lovely sage green!)
Surely I'd put my all-time favorite flower, irises (purple ones, of course!) in my flower arrangements, mine and the girls'? And on the tables?
(Although we did include white irises.)I didn't like the contrast between colored flowers and the pale green dresses, so my florist suggested white flowers for the girls, too. I thought, "What?" But we went with white flowers for the girls and white flower arrangements on the tables at the reception.
And I LOVED it!
My gown?
I fell in love with a beautiful poofy antique ivory colored Jessica McClintock wedding gown when I saw it in a magazine years before I even met my husband! When we got engaged and it was time to search for a wedding gown, I was determined to try on a number of different gowns, just so I'd be sure when I bought "the one." The first one I tried on was a halter styled gown, A-line, and white white – nothing like I'd ever choose! I tried on princess gowns, plain and elegant gowns, mermaid gowns, gowns with plunging necklines, sweetheart necklines, sleeves and no sleeves….
I went to the Jessica McClintock store and tried on "my" gown, ready to plunk down the $400.
IT.LOOKED.AWFUL.ON.ME. I almost cried in the dressing room!
Went back to the bridal store, tried on tons more samples, and bought the halter-style first gown I tried on!
And I LOVED IT!!!
So my wedding was the first time in my life I found myself stepping out of the box. Along with this cut-gym-class-for-two-years kind of girl marrying a gym teacher!!! That was a major stepping out of the box move, too!
Stefanie Miles permalinkOctober 7, 2009
Ok, I'm finally going to comment. I happily subscribe to your blog but rarely comment because of using google reader. I love diy projects, am a nesting newlywed and constantly looking for budget savvy ideas (particularly apartment friendly ideas in this season) with a healthy dose of creativity…not to mention that I am quite in love with Jesus myself. I love that you chose to carry a Bible instead of a bouquet (wish I'd thought of that myself for our July wedding)…I get to feeling a bit stalkerish at times, but mostly am just grateful to know there are kindred spirits spread across the country!
October 7, 2009
*gasp* I can't believe you were a Maggie Sottero gown!!! *I'm* wearing a Maggie Sottero gown for my wedding, which is THIS SUNDAY!! I'm wearing the "Camden"
I rarely see Maggie in wedding mags, and I'm always looking, SO COOL that you wore Maggie.
Wonderful dress, gorgeous veil, and I love the bouquet that meant so much to you!
stephanie hoffer permalinkOctober 7, 2009
Hmm, I'd say our blissful day was full of the "un-ordinary". Like no flowers anywhere, bridesmaids carrying glass vases with candles, me carrying a bouquet of feathers, going barefoot…inside, grooms-women and brides-men, walking down the aisle by myself to acoustic guitar and drums, decorating dead tree limbs with mirrors and crystals inside the church….yeah, all pretty not normal. Oh wait, you were there!
October 7, 2009
Your dress was gorgeous!!!! I love that you weren't afraid to break the rules and carry a Bible down the aisle. That is what a wedding is about really, so I love that you did that.
carol permalinkDecember 4, 2013
When did brides stop carrying Bibles….can't seem to find a bridal Bible.
ClubVeg permalinkOctober 7, 2009
Bible bouquet – YES, YES, YES!
Mrs. Bower you are a bridal inspiration!
Meg permalinkOctober 7, 2009
that is the prettiest wedding dress I have ever seen (prettier than mine!)
NikKidd permalinkOctober 7, 2009
My dress was a Maggie, too, and I absolutely loved it! I went for the Jessica: (http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?style=J170).
Love the details and hope you two are enjoying your 2 year anniversary!
October 7, 2009
I wore a Maggie gown too!! Love me some waist-cinching-corset-back goodness.
Sarah permalinkOctober 7, 2009
Love the Bible bouquet! Didn't see that one coming, but love it!! So creative and meaningful…on so many levels! I love Jesus too
Ann permalinkOctober 7, 2009
On the 11th of October, it will be our 19th anniversary! After all this time, I still think my dress is gorgeous!
October 12, 2009
Holy freaking crap! I wore a Maggie dress to my wedding! Mine was the "Madeleine" and it was so gorgeous you would cry if you saw it. Not really, but it was impossible for me not to stare at myself in the mirror when I had it on (I'm vain, so sue me). Your dress was beautiful, by the way! Maggie Sottero sure knows what she's doin'
October 12, 2009
Um…wow. I just read someone's comment about the Bible and said out loud "wait…what?" and had to re-read your post.. Apparently, I was so mesmerized by the fact that we both wore Maggie dresses that I completely missed the Bible bouquet and everything it symbolized. What an incredible way to start out your lives together. You are even cooler than I thought
Taryn M. Peine permalinkOctober 13, 2009
I love the Bible idea! I too had to spray the heck out of my hair…I got married in August in Houston. At the time, I thought it piled high in a sexy, vampy sort of way. Now I think it was more conehead than vampy…but either way. I was just glad when we got to go back to our honeymoon suite and I had to find a way to extract 473 bobby pins from my hair in as seductive a way as possible…
October 5, 2010
I gotta say – LOVE that you did straps. I did straps at my wedding too (also in 2007) and so many people looked at me like a monkey doin' a math problem – why not go strapless? I've seen one too many brides yankin' their dresses up to their pits during dancing and the like that I was convinced I wanted nothing to do with it! SOOO glad I went with straps!! and your dress is gorgeous, too! Though I don't think I coulda pulled it off – something about short people and big skirts – looks weird! But it's just PERFECT on you!
Tami permalinkOctober 14, 2010
So – beautiful dress! and the hair – so pretty- but what I don't get, and please don't take this as a mean comment, I truly don't mean it to be, is when you say you are so moral and in love with Jesus, but yet, if I understand correctly, and maybe I misread somewhere, you were living with your fiance before marriage. For nine months, while you renovated your house. Did I get it right? I hope not. Because maybe pre-marital sex isn't really a sin – just not approved of . . . I'm not that versed in the Bible, just trying to understand morality, love of Jesus and living with someone before you are married.
Mason permalinkApril 5, 2012
Tammi – you asked a tough question, in a lovely way . . .


text: The idea that when a team dumps a coach somehow the new coach will jettison every single player and assistant coach currently in the organization is a fallacy. Josh McDaniels system in 2 season hasn't proven to be any better than other pro-style offenses in the NFL, actually his system has proven to be pretty average. The NFL isn't about schemes… its about players. When McDaniels had Tom Brady, Randy Moss and Wes Welker in his system it worked. Kyle Orton isn't Tom Brady…. Denver is currently averaging 21 points a game… the exact same scoring average under Shanahan and Cutler. If Coach McDaniels is fired, the next coach will find a place and utilize the best players on the Broncos roster and remove the dead weight. If Tebow is a franchise QB, he will have a chance to earn the job, if he isn't then he won't. The idea that if you get rid of a head Coach after two years you become the Raiders in ridiculous. Denver has had 2 HC in 14 years… That's very un-Raider like. When a team goes from being 8-8 to 3-9 there is a problem. McD was brought in to take an 8-8 team and make them into a playoff contender. Instead the Broncos are worse offensively and defensively and the organizations lacks direction. Why let McD blow another draft before making another change? The time for change is at hand….

Columbus Circle
59 St Columbus Circle
Directions: Southwest entrance to Central Park, W 59th St and Central Park West
"Ever wonder what it might be like to be in the same room as Christopher Columbus? The Public Art Fund has commissioned a project that lets you do just that, sort of. Conceived by Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi, Discovering Columbus puts Gaetano Russo's Columbus Circle-dwelling statue inside a living room, 70-feet above street level. Nishi, who has worked under a variety of names, including Tatzu Oozu, Tatsuro Niscino, and Tatsurou Bashi, has a fascination with transforming traditional monuments into contemporary art. Other examples of his work being the Merlion Hotel at the Singapore Biennale and Hotel Gent. For Discovering Columbus, Nishi's first installation in the United States, you not only get an up-close look at the 120-year-old statue, but you also have the chance to see Central Park from Columbus' perspective. It's a bit of a disorienting experience, but worth the six-flight stair climb. Admission is free, but passes, which you can get at the Public Art Fund website, are required."

PEKIN, Ill. -- In a story we brought you first, a Pekin home has been destroyed by a suspicious fire overnight Saturday. Tazewell County authorities believe foul play may be involved.
The Tazewell County Coroner confirms around 12:30 Sunday morning, an unidentified body was found inside the home scene, at 13999 Towerline Road in Pekin.
The gender of the body found has not yet been determined.
First responders from several area departments, including Tremont, Pekin and Green Valley, were on the scene.
Authorities tell us that the occupants of that home have a history surrounding the violation of restraining orders in the past. They believe an ex-husband came to the house last night "with weapons" and eventually set it on fire.
As of 1 a.m., authorities said he was nowhere to be found.
The home is listed to a Lawrence and Louise Medearis.
According to the Tazewell County Sheriff's office, 44-year-old Lawrence Medearis was charged with domestic battery on April 23.
Regarding the fire, the family was taken in for questioning, according to a Tazewell County Sheriff's deputy.
A State Police Crime Scene Investigation team was at the property early Sunday morning as well.
We will have more details on this story as authorities continue to investigate.

Nokia teases a giant 'X', strongly hints their first Android Phone is coming
As you probably know by now, Nokia is making their first Android phone and it's been widely rumored that it'll be called the "Nokia X".
Nokia posted on their official blog today, about their Mobile World Congress 2014 press conference, and their teaser image was the image you see above, with four black arrows pointing to one center, to form a giant green "X" mark. Nokia's twitter and facebook pages all went the same shade of green last week, which all seems to indicate that the company is strongly hinting that all the Nokia X Android phone rumors are indeed true. Additionally, @evleaks posted a new image of the Finnish company's first Android phone, and it's in exactly the same shade of green, once again:
Nokia X. pic.twitter.com/meA05ALusT
— @evleaks (@evleaks) February 17, 2014
The Nokia X is rumored to be an affordable smartphone with a 4-inch display, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, a 5 megapixel rear camera and will run a forked version of Android with all of Google's services stripped out.
Just a couple days more until we see this one.

If baby Noah was born alive, Illinois has a law in place designed to prevent what happened today.
Safe havens are places like police and fire stations or hospitals. Where parents can give up a child, younger than 30 days old, no questions asked. Statistics show havens work. Had baby Noah's parents used one, he might still be alive.
"We didn't even know what it was. We thought it was a dead animal, but once we got closer it was a baby."
That's how John Silverio, an employee at One Source Recycling Center, describes finding an infant boy's body.
The recycling plant sent workers home to give them time to deal with what they saw. Part of the tragedy in this boy's death is that it could have all been prevented.
In 2001 Illinois enacted the abandoned newborn infant protection act. In fact, Rockford Memorial Hospital was the first in the state to take a baby under the law. Since then 74 children have been safely given up across the state.
In that same time span 65 were found illegally abandoned. Nearly half died.
Nancy Gaziano volunteers with the save abandoned babies foundation. The group lobbied for the safe haven law and works now to raise awareness.
She tells me, Every time we have a safe relinquishment, she sees it as saving two lives since the parent does not face charges for abandonment or worse, as long as the baby is handed over unharmed.
Winnebago County State's Attorney Joe Bruscato believes not enough people make use of the safe havens.
"Individuals find themselves in positions where having to have to care for or attempt to raise a child is not something that they're going to be able to do and they need to know what the options are. That this is an option. This is a legal and safe option for a child."
Winnebago County Sheriff's Police ask the public for help. Anyone with information should call the Sheriff's Department or make an anonymous tip to CrimeStoppers at 815 - 963 - 7867.

One thing that has interested me personally was a team's draft boards. I might be in the minority, but I would love to have the opportunity to have a glimpse of the St. Louis Rams draft board. Just the chance of seeing how the team ranks players and how they envision the shape and future of their roster, is enough to give chills to anyone who loves draft season.
So when SBNations' Dallas Cowboy website Blogging The Boys found a way to leak the Cowboys board, using photos from interviews Jerry Jones decided to make in front of his board. It was typical Jones. The whole board is here.
Since many of us will never take a peek at a team's draft chart, what better chance is there to compare who the Rams drafted to where an NFL team ranked them?
Players that weren't on the Cowboys board
1st rounder- Alec Ogletree - Somewhat surprisingly, Ogletree wasn't listed anywhere on the Cowboys board. The main reason would have to be because of Ogletree red flags.
3rd rounder- T.J. McDonald - McDonald doesn't have red flags so not seeing him on the list was surprising; not even listed as a 6th or 7th round choice. (Cody Davis was a 7th rounder on the board) The Cowboys most likely didn't like the way McDonald plays.
4th rounder Barrett Jones - Since the Cowboys selected Travis Frederick in the first round, it's not a surprise that they didn't have Jones on their board. Jones isn't powerful, but Frederick is, and he will be able to drive defenders back. That's a big question mark with Jones. Plus, he's still dealing with an injury.
5th rounder Zac Stacy - Honestly, he wasn't high on many boards, so it shouldn't be a surprise the Cowboys didn't place him on the board.
Players that were on their board: Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey, and Brandon McGee, were all drafted in the same rounds as the Cowboys board.
What the Cowboys board tells us:
It confirms that teams draft and arrange their charts differently. The Rams don't have a problem drafting players with red flags because they have grandfather Jeff Fisher to keep them in control. But the Cowboys are "America's Team" and can't have negative press, there in the news enough as is.
Honestly, it would be great if teams showed draft boards after the draft. But in a league where opposing teams think that there's cameras in locker rooms, Spygate, Bountygate, and coaches covering their mouths while calling out plays during a game because they don't want lip readers to know their plays, there's no way it would happen.

Earlier this week, we learned that fighters on the "Nemesis: Global Invasion" show received bad checks. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Eliot Marshall and Paul Buentello revealed the gory details to MMA Weekly:
Prior to ever landing on the island, Marshall had four different opponent changes before a fighter was finally found to face him. As he found out once he arrived, his opponent, Chris McNally, wouldn't get there till the day of the fight, and obviously would miss the weigh-ins. Marshall was then informed that McNally was normally a middleweight so he wouldn't be giving up a huge amount of weight, but he still needed to weigh-in on the 205-pound limit.
This is where things started to get strange.
"We had a two hour window where we could just show up and weigh in," Marshall explained. "Like we're sitting in the lobby and they're explaining this to us and they're like 'the official scale will be here at noon, so come on down any time between noon and two and you guys can weigh in.'"
No face-offs and fighters didn't even see their opponents at the weigh-ins, although the promoter was there making sure to write everything down. The promoters took care of that because there was no commission overseeing the process and procedures that took place at Nemesis Fighting. Marshall admits his radar was up immediately, but he was there already and wanted to fight.
The problems don't stop there. I encourage you to check out the full article, which includes the following transgressions:
-No one monitored the locker room, outside of lone official Mario Yamasaki.
-Several fighters rubbed icy hot on themselves before Buentello notified Yamasaki.
-The promotion forgot to hire a timekeeper. Someone ended up using a cell phone to time the rounds.
-The new "timekeeper" texted during bouts.
-No doctor was in attendance.
And then there was an issue with the cage used for the event.The fighters from Puerto Rico apparently had yet another reason to be mad at the promoter for a show that, according to those on the scene, only ended up attracting around 300 fans in total. The organization had contracted a cage from a gym in Puerto Rico to use at the show for the fights. When the arena that held the event realized they weren't getting paid either, things went downhill fast.
"What really pissed off the Puerto Ricans is they brought their cage over from Puerto Rico. I guess one of the promoters paid him some money to bring it over. So they went to go take it down, tear it down and ship it out, and the Coliseum locked the doors on it, 'no you can't have it, we're keeping it until we have our money.' So that's the heat of it, that's what started all of it," Buentello said.
How did veterans of the sport find themselves in this situation? Marshall noted:
[T]he promoters were paying nearly what the UFC did for fights, so of course many of the athletes jumped at the chance to compete on the show.

He's a compelling 3-and-D prospect. Although Bullock will have no pressure to earn a roster spot this summer, he most certainly will be the most scrutinized and heavily observed Clipper in Las Vegas.
Shooting 43.6 percent from three-point land for the Tar Heels last season, Bullock will be expected to drain open looks. According to DraftExpress, Bullock averaged 1.29 points on catch-and-shoot attempts last year.
Although Bullock is behind both Dudley and Barnes in the depth chart, he should excel on open jumpers from the corner afforded to him by the dribble penetration of Chris Paul and the attention in the post paid to Blake Griffin.
Bullock is also an above-average on-ball defender. He is athletic, with a 6'9" wingspan that should give him the length and speed to cover shooting guards and small forwards. His height and length make him a capable wing or shooting guard on the floor.
The North Carolina product is the only real 3-and-D player on the team's summer roster and could surprise the Clipper faithful. For a fanbase that has grown accustomed to tracking summer league for a historically futile franchise, Bullock is a welcome change of pace. Any production that he can contribute will be icing on the cake to what has already been an impressive offseason in Lob City
I'm excited about it. Let me know when the NBA season starts again.

Hey guys,
I'm trying to install and configure the 6212 NFC SDK to be used with NetBeans 6.8.
I installed the JDK and I have both the JRE 5 and 6 and when I try to add the
Nokia 6212 NFC SDK as a platform in NetBeans I get an error that says that the JRE 5 isn't installed on my machine
and thus the Nokia 6212 NFC SDK cannot be used. The error message is:
"The SDK could not locate a Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
You must install JRE 5 to run this SDK."
I also have the Nokia S40 5th Edition FP1 installed on my machine and it works perfectly.
I tried adding the JRE 5 bin path to the %PATH% environment variable and still no luck.
I tried installing everything from scratch, and still no luck.
I'm running Windows 7 x64 (I just reformatted my machine. Before the format I had the exact same OS
and configuration and it worked perfectly with the 6212 SDK).

October 9, 2007
Albany -- The red light cameras at a busy Albany intersection are coming down before anyone ever got a ticket because of them. The cameras went up to catch red light runners at North Jefferson Street and Pine Avenue more than a year and a half ago.
But city leaders say the system never worked right, and they plan to scrap it.
Red Light Camera system went up in January 2006, to take pictures of drivers who run the red light, and ticket them. But more than a year and a half later, no tickets have ever been issued.
City officials say the cameras work, taking video of cars running the red light, but some violations are not recorded. City of Albany Director of Engineering Bob Alexander said "we have observed that it doesn't pick up every violation. And I don't think the community would feel comfortable if it was a hit and miss operation."
The city will not lose any money by returning the cameras. This red light camera system was purchased from Siemens Corporation with a $150,000 grant from the Department of Transportation. But no payments have ever been made because the city was never satisfied.
Alexander said "since it never really met our specifications, we have refused to make any payments."
So Albany officials told Siemens they are returning the camera system, and will not have to pay any money. Now they are turning their attention to finding another camera system that does work correctly. Traffic studies show that since the red light camera went up, crashes at that intersection are down 75 percent, and engineers say that shows the cameras really work.
Alexander said, "we've seen a significant reduction in the amount of people running the red light. And if we put them in other locations, we will have similar responses."
Alexander says he hopes the city will have a new red light camera system up in about four months. The city will return the grant money to the Department of Transportation, they are looking at leasing the next camera system, following the model of red light cameras that Tifton has used successfully.

Francis Carmont picked up his second UFC win by submission in a back-and-forth bout with Magnus Cedenblad at UFC on Fuel 2. The momentum swung back and forth multiple times in the bout, with both fighters getting to mount and almost finishing at different points. Carmont landed some very hard punches to a grounded Cedenblad in the second though, and he couldn't recover well enough to avoid getting finished. Carmont picked up the rear naked choke victory at 1:42 of the second round.
Carmont came out with a nice switch kick and got a takedown. Cedenblad looked for a guillotine initially, then a leglock or armbar, but Carmont controlled him well. When Carmont postured up, Cedenblad grabbed a leg, got to his feet, and eventually got Carmont down. He rolled through Carmont's guard and got to full mount. Carmont rolled over onto his stomach and tried to stand up, but Cedenblad continued to control him and landed punches to the side of the head. He tried to latch a choke on and rolled Carmont over, but "Limitless" defended well enough to eventually reverse position. Carmont dropped some damaging shots in Cedenblad's guard and briefly moved to mount himself, but was reversed by Cedenblad at the bell.
The fighters went to work right away in the second, with Carmont coming forward but eating a big Cedenblad counter. Carmont still perseved for a takedown though, and landed some solid shots while controlling the back. Cedenblad rolled to guard, but Carmont immediately jumped into mount. He threw a bunch of punches and looked for a choke while Cedenblad flipped back and forth, looking for a way out. Carmont was finally able to latch on a choke from Cedenblad's back though, and that was all she wrote.
Carmont is a Tri-Star product and works closely with UFC welterweight champion George St. Pierre. He entered the bout with one UFC win, over Chris Camozzi at UFC 137. Cedenblad was making his UFC debut and hoping to continue a seven-fight win streak.

Medgidia (med.ʤi.'di.a, historical names: Karasu or Carasu, Mecidiye or Megidie) is a city in Constanţa County, Dobruja, south-eastern Romania.
In the 19th century the Ottoman sultan Abdul Mejid repopulated the region. In 1865, the inhabitants of Carasu asked the governor of Dobruja to rename the town "Mecidiye" as a tribute to their benefactor.
After the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), Northern Dobruja became part of Romania.
Medgidia is located between the Danube and the Black Sea, 39 km far from Constanţa.
The general aspect of the relief is that of a low plateau with a limestone structure, covered with thick deposits of loess. The natural resources in the area consist of limestone deposits and kaolin sand. The limestone structure of the earth permits a natural filtering of the groundwater.
The town infrastructure is continuously developing and offers the inhabitants 4 high schools, 8 primary schools, 12 nurseries, 4 cultural centers with a hall for cultural activities, 2 show and cinema halls, 3 clubs and 5 libraries, a 30,000-seat stadium, a sports hall and a swimming pool. Medgidia also houses a 500-bed hospital.
The following villages are administered by the municipality:
The Medgidia Municipal Council, elected in the 2008 local government elections, is made up of 19 councilors, with the following party composition:
|Current Council
|National Liberal Party
|Democratic Liberal Party
|Social Democratic Party
|Democratic Union of Turco-Islamic Tatars of Romania
Beside the agricultural activities (milk-processing, milling, bakery and wine growing), the main industry deals in cement and building materials, agricultural machinery and forgery equipment, wood processing and furniture factories.
Medgidia lies in the center of an agricultural area of several tens of millions hectares, with a fertile soil and provided with irrigation systems.
The area offers:
The canal has a capacity of 11.2 million tons/year and can admit ships of . Provided with road and rail links, the harbor offers storage facilities and cranes able to lift up to 16-ton weights. Beside a SNCFR marshaling yard, along the Canal there is a Free Trade Area in course of being finalized.
A planned highway from Bucharest to Constanţa, partially financed by the EU, will bypass the town, allowing the development of associated services (hotels, petrol stations and a parking yard for trucks) in the area.
In 1991 the museum was named after Lucian Grigorescu, a town native, who was deemed as the most Latin among the Romanian painters. The city honors the painter every year on the 1st of February, the anniversary of his birthday.
The mosque is served by an imam and a muezzin. The building respects the traditional form of the Muslim cultural placements, decorated in the interior with oriental ornaments and inscriptions in Arabic.

On this day, (October 1), we plan to bring a record number of volunteers to our build site. We will invite all of our core regulars, past and present partner families and groups from the current build season. We'll also be inviting all groups to bring a new friend.
Each individual will be given a little card with information about a different country (or area of the US) in which Habitat is active. Throughout the day, volunteers can share information about their country with fellow workers and during the lunch break, we will all pray for these areas. We will also play interactive trivia games, testing the knowledge of the need for housing worldwide. With the addition of the resource kits, we hope to spread awareness of Habitat's worldwide mission.

Cavities in Baby Teeth: Should You Get Baby Teeth Filled?
A lot of parents wonder if it's really necessary to have their children get fillings in their baby teeth. Since baby teeth just end up falling out, why not let the cavity fall out with the baby tooth rather than paying to have a dentist remove the cavity?
Many people assume that baby teeth aren't that important since they quickly get replaced by permanent adult teeth as a child grows.
Even though they do end up falling out, baby teeth are important! When they're healthy, they can help children eat healthy foods. When baby teeth get infected, they can damage the permanent teeth developing under them and in severe cases they can cause brain infections. If you missed my earlier article, you can read it to learn five reasons why baby teeth are important.
Now that you understand why baby teeth are important, let's talk about whether or not baby teeth need fillings.
Should You Get Cavities in Baby Teeth Filled?
When thinking about getting cavities in baby teeth filled, there are a couple of main things to think about: How much use your child will get out of the filling and how big the cavity is.
First, let's talk about how much use your child will get out of the filling. The book Pediatric Dentistry by Pinkham says, "A carious primary molar in a 6-year-old is a problem; a loose carious mandibular incisor may not be if it is about to exfoliate."
If a tooth is about to fall out (or exfoliate if you want to speak in fancy dental terms), then your child probably wouldn't get much use out of a filling in that tooth.
The other main factor to look at is how big the cavity is. Although dentists recommend treating cavities when they are small, sometimes a cavity can be so small that it can repair itself under the right circumstances!
In the book Paediatric Dentistry, the authors discuss the question of whether or not to treat baby teeth. One of their points supporting not getting fillings in baby teeth says, "Remineralization can arrest and repair enamel caries. It has long been known that early, smooth surface lesions are reversible. In addition, it is now accepted that the chief mechanism whereby fluoride reduces caries is by encouraging remineralization, and that the remineralized early lesion is more resistant to caries than intact enamel."
If the cavity is small and has just started, there is a chance that it can repair itself through the process of remineralization.
Keep in mind that this repair will probably NOT occur unless your child's diet and oral hygiene dramatically improve! There's a reason that your child started to get a cavity and if nothing is done to change the habits that started the cavity, then the cavity will probably get worse.
If you don't think you will alter your child's diet or oral hygiene, then it's probably a good idea to have the dentist put a filling in the baby tooth while the cavity is small so that the cavity doesn't get bigger.
On the other hand, if the cavity is small and you are willing to work really hard at improving your child's diet and oral hygiene, then the cavity can remineralize. In this case, there there's no need to get a filling in your child's baby tooth.
When considering a filling in your child's baby tooth, it is important to think about how much longer the tooth will be in the mouth and the size of the cavity. If the tooth will be falling out soon, it may not be necessary to get a filling. If the tooth won't fall out for a couple of years, then it's probably a good idea to get a filling in your child's baby tooth.
Most dentists will be able to give you a good idea as to whether or not your child would benefit from a filling in a baby tooth or if it's really not necessary.

I had never thought before about getting a cavity filled in a baby tooth. so far, my kids have not had any cavities. We make sure to consistently brush their teeth, though I'm sure I could add in a few more brushes daily! I hope we don't ever have to make a decision about cavities in baby teeth. I've been reading up on how to care for my kids teeth better. This Mom's Guide has been really helpful for that. I hope you find it helpful too. http://www.1dental.com/moms-guide/
My baby got her firsts cavities when she was 6 months, i know shocking i brush her teeth when shes done.drinking her bottle or eating. The dentist wants to wait till she's 1yr to do something about them.
Unless the cavity is severe enough to do damage, filling cavities in baby teeth is costly and does no good for any child. I can understand if a child has a very severe cavity that causes pain, but usually these types of cavities take many years to develop. Any child under age 7 who is losing teeth does NOT need fillings! My dentist has remarked to me about this; she will not fill cavities on small children unless infection is a problem, or unless there is pain associated with the cavity. Why have parents spend money on cavities when the teeth are only going to fall out in a matter of months?
I have a 5 year old son and on a recent visit to a new dentist (we moved states), the new dentist said that my son needs several fillings on his back molars. When you inspect his mouth his teeth look fine (nice and white - no obvious problems), but the dentist showed me x-rays of where the enamel is thin and said that they needed to be filled because they were molars that he would have for a while. The dentist was recommended by my son's pediatrician whom I trust and I understand that he will have them for a while still, but I just don't know that putting fillings in teeth that have no actual visual flaws is a good idea. Also, he has had a small cavity on one of his front teeth since not long after he cut is front teeth (It is touching the tooth next to it very closely). We have flossed and brushed trying to keep the cavity from getting larger and I think it has worked pretty well... the last dentist who we saw did not fill because he felt my son would most likely loose the tooth before it became an issue and we would just keep a close eye on it until then. The new dentist wants to fill that one as well because he says that it is "close to the nerve". My question with this is, is it worth it at this point? My entire family including myself, my siblings and my older son have all cut their teeth early compared to most people and lost these teeth at age 5 or 6 at the latest... When I told the new dentist this he said most kids keep those teeth until age 7 so it should be filled too... My son with the issue also cut teeth early so should I put him through getting it filled or just hope that he looses it before it gets so bad as to reach the nerve?
I have a little boy that is 3 months away from his 3rd birthday, and he has cavities. He has three visible brownish cavities on his two lateral incisors and one central incisor, near the gumline. He didn't have any cavities when I took him for his first dental appointment 5 months ago. He goes back to the dentist this month. I'm so worried that he will need stainless steel caps. He has such a precious cute smile. I am so ashamed that he has cavities, because I know it's my fault for not enforcing better oral hygiene. He absolutely cannot fall asleep without a bottle. He was breastfed until he was 22 months old, then I started letting him have pediasure in bottles because he wasn't eating enough (I didn't think) and he wasn't nursing as much either. Once he started getting bottles, he quit nursing and has to have a bottle to fall asleep. He doesn't sleep with the bottle though.
Anyway- my question is this: do they do fillings on a little boy this young, or do they do stainless steel caps? Is there a chance of remineralization if his cavities are light brown/tan and not very deep?
Hi Gina, I know what you're going through. I have a little boy who will be 2 yrs in a week. He is suffering from baby bottle tooth decay on his top front four teeth. I noticed it starting just in January and now 6 months later his teeth look horrible. I was hoping to maybe heal his teeth through a diet change and vitamins but I haven't been as strict as I need to be about it. The first dentist I saw recommended silver caps but another dentist said she could place composite crowns on his teeth. I like that idea better than putting metal in his mouth. One thing I recently found out about, and not sure why more dentists don't recommend is MI Paste without fluoride, which is a paste that helps remineralize teeth. I believe when my son's teeth were first showing signs of early caries and not that far gone, it would have helped immensely! My older son at about the age of 4 was developing a small cavity on the very front of his top front tooth. That dentist just scraped away the decay, put a little bit of cavity filler in it, hardened it, buffed it and he was done. He didn't give him a shot either which was nice. It literally only took him 3 minutes to do it, but it took 2 nurses and myself to hold him down. But it looks perfect and you can't even tell where the filling was done a year later!
I have a grand daughter that is seven years old and has a cavity in the back.
At what age do most of the first (baby) teeth come out? The mother wants to spend $500.00
to get it filled. I think that at her age it would be a big waste of money. Let me know what you think.
Thank you, Jim

The First Real FSU News (Not Posturing) Of The Day
Not the FSU BOT running his mouth based on inaccurate information or the FSU president refuting the BOT Chair's statements, but rather this piece by Dan Wetzel. Finally, we have news and not posturing: -The new ACC TV deal sucks even worse than we told you it did. Why? It's extremely backloaded, and by the time the big increases kick in, the deal will likely be well below market. FSU won't see an increase of more than a million for the next few years. The ACC is worried about losing FSU The Big XII would obviously take FSU, given the right conditions. The article is quite good.

On Tuesday, the National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group raised the national preparedness level to the highest level possible, a five.
Preparedness levels are based on fire activity, predicted weather, burning conditions and resource availability.Right now, 48 uncontained large wildfires are burning across the country, eight of those fires burning in Montana.
"We would like to get some more aircraft and more helicopters to support our firefighters on the ground," said John Thompson, Deputy Incident Commander. "We're clearly lacking hand crews to put on the ground and we would like to see more type one resources due to the terrain we have here. Type one resources are generally the most experienced and the most well trained."National MAC divides the country into 11 geographical areas to help prioritize resources. Resources are then ordered based on how many fires are burning in the area, the risks to lives and property and the current supply of crews.
Thompson said his command center is in contact with the Northern Rockies Interagency Coordination center daily to request assistance."We're in contact daily with those folks to convey our needs, our priorities and our desires of resources we would like," said Thompson.Thompson said the competition for more man power and equipment is extremely tight this year, but he said life and property are always number one priority."It doesn't help that we're competing against incidents like they have in Idaho where they evacuate 2200 people in a day," said Thompson. "Life and property are always our priorities and if lives are in front of a fire, we're going to put the resources there."
A public meeting will be held at Montana Weatherization Training Center in Bozeman on Tuesday August 20 at 7:30 p.m.

So, I started watching yesterday evening's Smackdown and the show opened with this
via i.imgur.com
and perhaps it was the first time I have seen ''Paul Bearer'' in quotation marks but for the first time since starting watching wrestling in 1999 I got that Paul Bearer's name was meant to be as in someone who carries a coffin. I know I'm not stupid but I am apparently pretty damn slow to take 14 years to get a joke.
I think perhaps when I was watching wrestling initially I was only little and didn't know what a pall-bearer was and so just accepted it as his name and then whenever he appeared in the years after that I just didn't even consider it.
So anyone else willing to admit they are as slow as me and are only just getting this as well or took years to get it?
[just for the sake of my ego if nothing else]

Served on nitro-tap at Turkey Hill.
A - Pours deep brown, bordering on black, with a creamy one finger tall off white head leaving sticky rings of lace down the glass.
S - Smells of dark roasted grains, day old coffee, very faint hops, and some bready oatmeal. A bit weak but certainly not the worst I have had.
T - Starts off with a bit of light chocolatey sweetness quickly giving way to a mix of dark roasted grains, touch of hop bitterness, and coffee creamer. Finish is a little sweet initially growing dryer as it warms up, lingering on the pallet for some time after consumption.
M - Heavy body and flavor with moderate carbonation. Rich, creamy feel, growing a little watery toward the end of the glass. The nitro pour really helped this one out.
O - This one was pretty good. It had a good amount of flavor and the nitro pour really helped it out. One of the better beers I had all day.

Position: Wide Receiver
School: USC
Status: Junior
Height: 6-5
Weight: 215
40-Yard Dash: 4.55 (EST)
Jarrett is a receiver with great size and leaping ability. Great corner-route and fade-route runner, especially in the red zone where those routes let him use his vertical ability to it's best. Jarrett is considered a playmaker-to-be by many draft analysts. He's a surprisingly good downfield blocker for a receiver of his type, using his hands well and avoiding planting his feet, an error made by most receivers asked to block.
Jarrett's biggest issues are that he has far from ideal speed, and as big he is, he doesn't play terribly physically, likely a result of playing against sub-par Pac-10 corners. Because of that combination, more physical corners will likely be able to shut him down in the NFL. His route-running and coverage judgment skills leave much to be desired as well. Jarrett has also displayed some potential character concerns recently, showing an immature and almost flippant attitude when it was recently suggested that he's not as ready for the NFL as some think he is.
Dwayne Jarrett is certainly an intriguing prospect, possessing rare size and the ability to take over a game. However, there are some concerns, most notably his speed, physicality, and some potential character issues. All in all, Jarrett will probably be one of the more touted receiving prospects on draft day, and will likely wind up somewhere in the middle of the first round, between the tenth and twentieth picks.

Number of ratings 17 / Average Grade: C Submit a correction
MAT 150 is considered a very tough class, regardless of the instructor. If you don't apply the study time prior and after class time, you WILL fail. Berisha was able to clarify on how to do the applications but if you can't keep up with his pace, then you most likely need to see a tutor. Overall, I enjoyed his class.
He has a real strong accent. When you go and ask him a question he just gives you a look and continues talking. He sometimes didn't even know how to solve the problem, we would correct him on it.
Barely got through this class and my friend failed.Of course you need to take initiative and study on your own but let me say I have never seen so many students drop a class. Yes you study on your own, but if math is not a strong subject for you then you risk doing hours of homework just to scrape by with a passing grade.
the class was hybrid, (which I hated and caused me to fail). But Dr. Berisha was FANTASTIC. loved learning from him and I found him to be very helpful.
He was awesome ! The class is quite easy if you focus and do your work. He makes everything easy to understand and give clear examples all the time. Loved his class <3
Only take this class if you're trying to fail. Very difficult teacher to actually learn anything from. Expects you to know what he knows.
Extremely intelligent and knows his math.The doesn't take the time to actually teach you the math thoroughly and skips through most of the steps.He had a horrible habit of teaching a new lesson on Tuesday,then review for the quiz for the old lesson very briefly the following Thursday, teach a new lesson, and then give the quiz for the old lesson.
He is a decent teacher ...for someone in Harvard!! He would barely and I mean barely teach and when he decided to its because 95 percent of the class was failing!!
Yes he expects college students to do the work but he has no time to really teach you Algebra. Not worth the money or the time to learn from this man. If you do the homework you'll never know if you got it right. Very poor communicator
Nice guy, hard teacher for MAT150. If you are exceptional at math, you might enjoy his class. If you are not, you might want to look elsewhere. I was a straight A student until now and worked very hard for a C.
You need to be self motivated and disciplined to take a class with Berisha. He expects college students to put in an effort to learn material. It is annoying how he doesn't finish problems in class but you also need to do your homework if you expect to learn. I have had better math teachers but I have had far worse. You get what you give.
While in his MAT150 class, he wouldn't finish the examples on the board and told us to finish them at home, even though we were still learning them in class. The next day when the class had multiple questions for him he actually told us to quit asking so many questions and moved on to the next lesson.
Attendance is a must to keep up with the class, as is working problems from the textbook. He does not assign homework, students need to take the initiative to study on their own, we're grown-ups now. He did address textbook problem when asked about them during class. He understood his subject and was patient with students who missed class. OK!
Nice guy, (for me) bad teacher.
He's an a pretty good teacher. he is very clear and nice. never gave any homework, its good if your self motivated unlike me who never studied. thats why im proubly going to get a C in this class. but it was my own fault. your grade is basically based on chapter test, so make sure you do well in those!
GREAT slow place very clear teacher. He has an accent you need to get used to at first but not too strong. He is VERY good at making sure you understand the material before proceeding farther. He does not give mandatory homework and the quizzes and tests aren't too hard. If you need a step by step understanding teacher get him.
This was one of the worst classes I have ever taken, I would highly reccomend looking elswhere. I dropped after about the seventh week. I am a straight a student and was pulling a 48% in this class. The class time is useless and the book is incomprehensible.

Measuring Force on Class Project
|Share this thread:
Feb17-12, 04:10 AM
On my senior project, i've figured out everything I need to measure all the parameters I needed EXCEPT force. I know that I need to use strain gauges, and I've used them in my instruments class with Labview and a DAQ. While I'm still using Labview, i'm now using an Arduino so things are a little different. But, I think the problem is coming down to how I'm trying to measure the strain to convert into force.
The best way to think about what force I need to measure is a standard horizontal cantilever beam. This beam is made out of 6061 Aluminum and is 11" long by 1" wide by 1" thick, so it's pretty thick. One end is fixed, other has a single force pushing up. Because the beam needs to handle 75lbs of force, a 1/2" steel bolt is used to hold the beam fixed, drilled into the beam about 2".
So here's my problem. My class never taught me how to attach strain gauges. The class also used a beam that was a lot thinner than this. I bought some strain gauges from Omega that are 8mm by 2mm, single-axis designed for aluminum. I researched how to attach the gauges, so I glued two down using superglue (cyanoacrylate) and soldered wires to them. The two are right in the middle of the length of the beam, one on top and one on the bottom, so I could make a Wheatstone half-bridge. I glued them by aligning the gauge as best as I could, used clear tape as a hinge, and cleaned the surface to be glued on with rubbing alcohol. After soldering, I measured 350 Ohms on both gauges, like they are designed to have. I wired it all up like a half-bridge, put the ends I need to measure through an instrument amplifier (AD623), and then zero'ed out the voltage reading. When I tried to put force into the beam, the voltage reading stayed at zero (with a little noise from the amp). I know I have everything hooked up correctly since I suspected that was the problem first. I have the amp maxed out with a gain of 1000, but lower gains don't cause any change. It's still not working. And in case your thinking it, I can't use a load cell outside the beam.
I'm stuck with a bunch of questions which leave me buying more gauges. Before I go buy more gauges, I have some questions. Am I measuring in the wrong spot? Should I be measuring as close to the fixed end of the beam instead of the middle? Am I using the wrong adhesive? Do I need bigger strain gauges? Should I use a full-bridge instead of a half? Thanks for any help and suggestions.
Feb21-12, 10:14 AM
For a cantilever beam, deflection is always maximum at point farthest from attachment while stress is maximum at a point near attachment. But I wonder if you are to measure deflection alone, why dont you consider dial gauge for this purpose. Use it along the length of beam and get deflections

"I don't see how (Flores) couldn't (start on the DL)," Riggleman said. "Ten days from now, we couldn't get him enough games to be ready for the season, no matter if he got back at the earliest."
It's a shame for Flores, and the team, that his shoulder has not responded adequately yet. The team signed Rodriguez to be a part-time player to Flores' starter, and now that is in serious jeopardy.
Rodriguez was exposed last season when forced into a full-time gig with Houston. While his batting average was not bottom of the barrel, his on base percentage was terrible. For all the accolades he's received this spring from Nats management, players and coaches, he's a shell of the player that will no doubt be enshrined in Cooperstown five years after his exit from the game.
He might "bring a lot to the table" as far as presence and respect, but he brings little to the plate anymore when he steps into the batter's box.
Flores' injury, and slow recovery, is a big blow to the Nationals this season, and perhaps into the future after re-evaluation from Dr. Andrews.

The Cambodian Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training on December 25 stated that any activities made by trade unions against the 2014 minimum salary of 95 USD are against the law.
According to the ministry's statement, the raise showed the efforts of the Government and trade unions in promoting the livelihoods of workers, while ensuring the competitiveness of the investment climate.
The ministry also called on all trade unions to stop their illegal activities in inciting protests and strikes.
One day earlier, the country's Labour Council agreed to raise the monthly salaries of footwear and garment workers from the current 80 USD to 95 USD in 2014 and to 160 USD in 2018.
However, pro-opposition's trade unions demanded the government and factory owners to double the salary for workers from 2014.
An estimated 3,000 garment workers from various factories rallied at Phnom Penh's Freedom Park to protest against the low salary increase for 2014.
Sam Rainsy, president of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), joined thousands of striking workers at the Manhattan Special Economic Zone in eastern Svay Rieng province.
The garment industry is Cambodia's largest foreign currency earner, accounting for about 80 percent of the country's overall exports. The sector comprises about 500 factories with some 510, 600 workers.
The country exported 5 billion USD worth of garment products in the first 11 months of this year, up 22 percent year-on-year.-VNA
