One thing you could try is substituting another bean flour that is commercially available - I'd suggest chick pea flour. I don't grind my own brown rice flour since it is not expensive to buy and so readily available.
And don't worry about the vinegar, just leave it out, and any oil is fine instead of the olive oil.Juliehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-39586462446862383432012-07-24T12:06:28.763-07:002012-07-24T12:06:28.763-07:00A couple questions-- 1) What coffee grinder do you...A couple questions-- 1) What coffee grinder do you use? We bought a $15 one at the store and it burned up after grinding 1 cup of the white beans and 1/2 cup of the brown rice. Had to return the grinder and buy store brown rice flour to get the last 1/2 cup for the recipe. Looking into getting a nut grinder but boy are they expensive. 2) I know I can substitute soy milk for the milk, but my son's allergies do not allow him to eat the apple cider vinegar AND the olive oil? I'm assuming I can substitute regular oil for the olive oil but he can't have anything with vinegar in it so not sure what to do with that. I made this for the rest of us to try--my husband wants to stop eating wheat just to see if he will lose weight and he wants us to join in his experience. I was surprised that my oldest son and I actually liked it--we are VERY picky eaters.

I did run into a few problems.
I put my milk in the bowl, then didn't watch my recipe close enough and added only 3/4 cup of water. After beating it it was still too thin
so U added 1/3 cup Quinoa flour. Worked well. I made 1 large loaf, baked it about 55 minutes. I'm not sure what would have happened if I would have added the cup of water, made a note to add less water. I'm from Alberta, but I don't think that should have made such a difference, Will definitely make it again!

Are you sure you are baking long enough ?

One trick (that I discovered recently) that might be your solution is to put your loaves into a 400' oven for the first 5 minutes of baking and then turn the oven temp. down to 350 degrees. The initial high heat will 'set' the loaf before it can rise higher than it can hold itself.Juliehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-33493591869552197682012-03-05T11:07:14.644-08:002012-03-05T11:07:14.644-08:00I have made three loaves and have had three failur...I have made three loaves and have had three failures the first two the batter was to runny and fell the second time it was nice and thick but cracked and fell just in the middle what am I doing firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-10757901181443592182012-03-04T09:42:47.282-08:002012-03-04T09:42:47.282-08:00Hi Jan ... the milk is no problem,just substitute ...Hi Jan ... the milk is no problem,just substitute what you use, Almond Milk..

I find that gf bread tends to fall a little when it is taken out of the oven.. (that is normal) but it shouldn't be soggy.
One tip I have learned recently is that too much xanthan gum causes bread to fall- pull together. If your bread pulled in on the sides or up from the bottom that could be why - so just use a little less.
If it was just the top and it looked well browned.. maybe lowering your oven temp. a little and/or let it sit in the pan for a few minutes before removing might help.
Also letting it rise less time in the pan...if it seems to have stopped rising in the pan, stick it in the oven and as you saw it will finish rising in the oven. Letting it sit too long in a 'not moving' state in the pan seems to encourage it to fall after baking.
Don't know if that will help .. but let me know.
GF baking is sometimes unpredictable and my bread falls on occasion too for no reason that I know!Juliehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-45043659962841553502012-01-12T22:11:12.599-08:002012-01-12T22:11:12.599-08:00Julie: I made this last night and although it gets...Julie: I made this last night and although it gets an "A" for taste and an "A+" for softness, I had trouble with the rising. After 1 hr, it hadn't risen past the pan but I decided to bake it anyhow (I thought it would be flat) but it rose amazingly during baking --- double its height and far out of the pan. But once I took it out of the oven, it fell and the middle is slightly wet (or squishy). The batter looked thick enough (any thicker and it would have stayed in balls like cookie dough!) -- but this sounds like what you mention happens if it is too thin. It looked very brown on the top (dark, almost too brown), but was it undercooked? Any suggestions before I try it again?tacmomhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-56391498046681309782012-01-11T11:46:24.626-08:002012-01-11T11:46:24.626-08:00Re - cornstarch .. using potato starch or tapioca ...Re - cornstarch .. using potato starch or tapioca starch instead should have the same results.Juliehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Candidates: Find your inner shofar
By BEN COHEN/JNS.ORG
09/08/2012 00:43
An appeal to US presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney to be the masters of the upcoming year's risks--not the servants.

If there's one aspect of Rosh Hashana that those outside the Jewish community are familiar with, it's the blowing of the shofar, the ram's horn whose siren-like cry marks the arrival of a new year.
Marc Angel, the Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Shearith Israel, the Spanish and Portuguese Jews Synagogue in New York City, explains that spiritually sensitive people in the midst of a spiritual rut not only hear the shofar audibly, but also "within their minds."
"It challenges them to re-energize themselves, to refocus on their goals," Angel says. "The inner shofar keeps them alert."
Politicians, too, need an "inner shofar." To participate in politics is to recognize that there will always be competing and irreconcilable differences. To manage these in a civilized fashion is what separates democratic societies from authoritarian and totalitarian ones. For politics is one avenue that allows the members of society to pursue happiness of their own volition, instead of having it imposed upon them in the name of some utopia that leaders who retain power through fear and violence are forever promising.
If either of you has an inner shofar, you will need to heed it as you assess America's place in the world. And you may find that you will have to heed it every day, because America's adversaries do not practice politics in the sense that we do.
Allow me, then, to respectfully submit three ideas as to how, in its engagement with the world, America should reflect its core values:
Remind the world that human rights has no better friend than liberal democracy
One current human rights emergency that those of us living in free societies are painfully unaware of is the global trend of Christian persecution. Approximately 100 million Christians live with varying degrees of discrimination, harassment, and violence, mainly in the Islamic world, and also in unreconstructed Communist tyrannies like China and North Korea. Christians like Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani in Iran and Aasia Bibi in Pakistan languish in prison cells simply for refusing to recant their faith. Islamists routinely attack Christians in Nigeria and Egypt for the mere act of attending church.
Jews, of course, remember the past horrors inflicted upon us by Christendom. But we also understand that here in America, Jews and Christians live as equals, sharing many common values. Above all, we remember that the Nazi rampage that culminated in the Holocaust was a sidebar in the media coverage of the time. That's why the imperative of "never again" applies not just to us, but also to any nation or group facing the threat of genocide. That insight is enabled because we live in a liberal democracy and because we know that liberal democracy is, when all is said and done, the best guarantee that human rights will be honored.
Remind the world that liberal democracy is not one system among many, but the best system of all
It's not very fashionable to say this, but I'll say it anyway: liberal democracy, particularly as it has evolved in the U.S., is a far superior system than any other. Millions of the immigrants who flock westward do so because they are fleeing the indignities imposed by Shari'a law and by the whims of Communist dictators. All these people risk life and limb out of the conviction that their choice is, in the words of General John Stark, "to live free or die."
Fostering the growth of liberal democracy should be an explicit foreign policy goal of the U.S. That—and not surrender or appeasement—is the strongest guarantee of our stability.
It means, too, that we treasure the alliances we have with other democracies. During the High Holy Day period, Jews everywhere turn their thoughts towards Israel. We remember in particular how, on Yom Kippur in 1973, the Arab states launched a war of elimination against the one Jewish state on the planet. And then we reflect that little has changed.
To know that the U.S. will never abandon Israel, and never sell out her vital strategic interests in the name of diplomatic one-upmanship, is both a source of comfort and fear. Comfort that it is true for now, and fear that one day it might not be so. That's why I would ask you to consider this observation: whoever is in power in Israel, whether of the left or the right, will not sway from the orientation towards America that has guided Israel since its founding. That is why Israel is America's most reliable ally in the Middle East. As the extraordinary upheavals in the Arab world over the last two years demonstrate, the same cannot be said for the rest of the region, where our friends were corrupt thugs now removed, like Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, or, sadly, still in place, as in Saudi Arabia, a country that still bans Jews from entering its borders.
Remind the world that retaining our military edge is a means of maintaining stability, not undermining it
If weapons of mass destruction are to be a presence in our world, better that they should be in the hands of democracies that will use them as a deterrent. That, ultimately, is the reason why Iran cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons: the anxiety that the Tehran regime will use them is well-founded, but even their possession risks changing the balance of power in the Middle East against our interests.
Moreover, do we want to set off an arms race in the region, so that Wahabi Saudi Arabia and Muslim Brotherhood-ruled Egypt seek out their own nukes? If the victor in your coming electoral contest does not act decisively in the ensuing months, we will lose control of the Iranian situation—and that will amount to the worst outcome of all.
In the context of our own debate on defense spending, you are both aware that China's military budget has increased by more than 11 per cent, whereas we are casting doubt on our core military doctrines, like the ability to fight wars simultaneously. As the atrocities of 9/11 proved, we don't search out wars; wars come to us. And if we don't keep our military edge, we let down both our own people and our allies.
The year ahead is fraught with risks. I hope and pray that you will be the masters of those risks—not the servants.

BJ Penn clearly wants a rematch:
For the past several days I have been reading statements made by St. Pierre and Greg Jackson about our fight on January 31. St. Pierre claims that he is "not a cheater" and that he and Greg Jackson will have "no problem with a rematch in the summer of 2009." To the untrained eye the grease might not look like much, but every grappler knows the effect that it has. Being able to apply your submissions and sweeps or just being able to hold on to your opponent to defend yourself from being hit is absolutely critical! There is a reason why you are not allowed to put grease anywhere on your body except for the area around your eyes. Because of the grease applied to St.Pierre's Body the Nevada State Athletic Commission's executive director, Keith Kizer has stated that the Penn-St. Pierre fight "definitely wasn't fair". I hereby accept George St. Pierre and Greg Jackson's challenge for a fight in the summer 2009. Lets call Dana now and set it up.
Actually, Kizer's quote was that the cornerman's actions weren't fair to Penn or GSP, but aside from that point, this rematch stuff is probably going to become a big issue with BJ. He has successfully deluded himself into believing he didn't really lose, and now he is going to claw to get that rematch instead of defending his 155 pound title.
There may be some tough choices for Dana White ahead. There are a few points in favor of a rematch: both fighters want it, and the feud is now so bitter that the buyrate would be completely astronomical due to the build. The other positive is it could give everyone a definitive answer and end all questions about a fight that was tainted.
However, there are significant negatives to doing a rematch as well. The first fight was a brutal ass kicking, and Penn is putting his body in jeopardy fighting St. Pierre again. Further, it's even more unfair to challengers for each title to have to wait again for this. We also know that if BJ wins he wants to retire, giving the UFC every incentive in the world not to give him this fight. Finally, and probably most importantly, the grease story is confined to a small world of hardcore fans. Most casuals will never know or care about it. However, hyping a fight around it will permanently raise the issue about St. Pierre, something the UFC marketing machine is certainly not interested in.
My position is this: if BJ Penn wants a rematch, he needs to drop his title, move to 170, and earn a title shot. Maybe if he can beat Jon Fitch and Matt Hughes he can earn himself a shot. As is, he cannot put himself above the entire roster especially after getting handled so badly. St. Pierre is probably fighting in July, if BJ wants it so bad he has plenty of time to earn his shot.
I'm not going to sit here and say the outcome of a rematch is certain. Nothing is certain when it comes to BJ Penn, he's just too good to ever be sure. But I believe St. Pierre wins this fight now 99 times out of 100, and it may just be a more athletic version of Ortiz/Shamrock. Except with real heat behind it.

Lawrence stop and search experience 'not unusual'
James Welch, legal director for human rights group Liberty, said:
Statistics suggest that Mr Lawrence's experience of repeated searches is not unusual.
The police maintain that stop and search is an important tool in their armoury. But they seem incapable of exercising the power in a non-discriminatory way.
That will leave many questioning whether they should have the power of stop and search at all.

How's the 920's build quality?
I've had a Lumia 900 since a month or so after it's initial release and I've got to say that, coming from the iPhone, I was really disappointed in its build quality.
I'm now looking to WP8 and, as such, am interested to hear how Lumia 920 owners feel the handset stacks up against some of my 900 gripes:
- Capacitive buttons (home in particular) seem unresponsive and sometimes require multiple presses to activate
- Home button vibration is erratic, sometimes giving a firm reassuring vibration, other times giving one you can barely feel
- The light behind the capacitive buttons is splotchy and doesn't consistently light up the entire button
- The volume rocker and other physical buttons seem cheap and plasticy
- After pressing the power button it sometimes takes one or two seconds before the screen actually lights up
Thanks for your input!

Not sure about the android argument - think about the timeline and the revolutionary appearance of Data in TNG many many years after this. Even with a warped time line, I think that androids able to ride bikes and write tickets is 100 years plus from this era.
However, one thought I had was that the office is a sort of "probe" - maybe a remotely piloted robotic device controlled from afar by a human.
I think Hell just froze over.

Congrats man. Im very glad to hear you gave it a chance, and i respect you immensly for having the courage to admit you were wrong. Were i in your place, I don't know if I could do it. Welcome home!
Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission, to explore strange, new worlds. To seek out new life, and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before.
Big of you to admit, great of you to post, and really you rock. You gave the film a chance good on you!
I've been hesitating on posting on this thread because I'm simply stunned. It's a very rare thing, in my experience, to find someone who would so openly admit a change of mind and a change of heart. Usually, in today's socieity (in America, in my experience) people will put on a hard face and even become defensive--even hostile--when faced with an opinion or view that differs from theirs...or to become even hostile when faced with the realization that perhaps their viewpoint was misguided...even wrong. As a manager, I dealt with a personality of this type on Thursday 5/7/08. The professional side of me had to remain calm and kind. The football-player in me wanted to bury this person 5 yards back behind the line of scrimmage. Professionalism prevailed, of course, but I went home very heavy-hearted.
I came home, celebrated a wonderful event with my wife and daughter, then came and logged onto the forums and found this thread. "Could he be joking?" I thought. "Is he yanking our chain?" The more I read and the more I read other posts by you BoP, I realized that this was not a joke or a prank, but that you were exhibiting something most rare among people these days: Humility and Grace.
I bless you, BirdOPrey. No, I'm no Pope or anything like that. It's just a sincere prayer for peace and prosperity, and real love to rest upon your life, because you exhibited a quality that is very rare indeed--and that the world needs more of. I was watching last night "All Good Things..." and during the trial of Picard, as Q was answering the questions that could only be answered in "Yes" or "No", I said to mysef, "Q has a point. Really, with all of the possiblities that mankind could have made since TNG is a "generation" removed from TOS, has it really just boiled down to conflicts with Romulans, Cardassians, and Klingons? Picard didn't learn anything from the 'kick in the rear' when Q hurriedly introduced him to the Borg? Q is right. Picard and humanity is a bit arrogant." I think Picard, and many people in this world, can learn a lot from you, good sir.
Thanks for blessing me with this thread. Not for liking the movie (because, after all, it's just entertainment). No, but thank you for showing that strength and greatness lies in humility and grace.
I was wrong about this movie, well I wasn't actually wrong because I was hopeful my worries would be unfounded. I was mistaken. I'm going to re-post something of mine from another thread. I don't think the "spoilers" are really spoiling anything so I won't hide it.
Where do I begin? This is hard to articulate right now. I enjoyed the movie for what it was, a fast paced space action adventure with enough comedy to lighten the mood. It was also a nice story about how some characters got to know each other better through a shared emergency situation. I am having difficulty calling this movie Star Trek. I KNOW it is Star Trek, and parts of it felt that way, but the vast majority of it did NOT "feel" like Star Trek, not to me. Maybe after waiting for so long my expectations were too high? I don't know. I'll try to break it down a bit.
First, what I liked. I liked the dialogue. I liked the new way the film was shot and the "feel" of the gritty universe. I like the the New Enterprise and even the bridge wasn't too bad. The action was good and the sound effects were awesome. The story was okay.
Here is what I didn't like and some of my nit-picks. I didn't like the fact that nearly 99% of everything was changed from the already established Trek universe. I don't see how the new viewscreen, new phaser, new transporter effects, etc... really seperate this new movie from the rest of the Trek movies. I mean, only us fans will really notice the difference. It's NOT like non-fans avoid watching Trek movies because they can't stand the beeps and blips or the way technology os portrayed. So changinf EVERYTHING was unnecassary and only served to remind fans like me that this really ISN'T the same Trek. While the new ship design was cool, the new warp effects bugged the heck out of me. It was TOO much like ships going into hyperspace in Star Wars. The "BOOOOM" going to warp and "BOOOM" coming out of warp. I also found it funny, not in a good way, that they counted down when waiting to exit warp. What? They can't just say "drop out of warp"? It seemed like they programed in a flight path and then were forced to see it through... "we're going to drop out of warp in 5,4,3...."!! Please, that was lame. The new hand phasers reminded me of pea shooters, "pew, pew, pew", they sucked. The ship phasers were kind of cool, but I couldn't tell if any photon torpedos were ever launched, they all looked the same. That is another nit pick of mine, why did they have to change those too? Why must photon torpedos look like artillery rounds, and not the larger ones we are used to? So how many "cores" did the ship have? I didn't see a warp core, not one we would recognize, were those big silver things multiple warp cores? Another aspect to Trek that serves NO purpose to change, other than to alieanate fans. Almost ALL of these kinds of things bugged me. My significant other, who is NOT a fan, even said this movie was NOT Star Trek!!
Okay, okay... I liked the rebelious side of Spock. I enjoyed the scenes he had with his father. I enjoyed most of the character interactions. The characters were written well and felt like the characters I already knew, except for Scotty. While Scotty was funny, and I enjoyed that, he was not anything like the miracle worker from times past.
The whole story did have a contrived feel to it. Everything did NOT make sense, even for a sci-fi movie. You have the flag ship of a massive federation of planets, and all the cadets or recent grads are BETTER than the officers already posted?? okay, Bones got the position because the CMO was killed, but then he kept the position after everything was concluded? The only aspect of the movie I thought was sort of realistic was that Kirk was NOT given an award for his cheating on the Kobiyashi Maru test, he was "grounded". I had to suspend ALL disbelief in order to enjoy this action space sci-fi movie. But that's all it was, sadly.
To secure the peace is to prepare for war. -Metallica
The beaming was a little funky- I would have prefered it stay closer to established trek (although even that has changed probably 5 times over the years) but to be fair those effects only worked well on stationary targets.
Resistance is not futile!
I wanted to add more on young Kirk... Although 'this' kirk doesn't know his father growing up that spooky force of 'fate' is at work turning him into the captain he was 'supposed' to be... and the character comes from a smart guy rebelling against a world that doesn't challenge him to the cpatain's chair... but just because this 'kirk' can say 'bullsh!t' and mean it while kirk in st:iv has to force himself to say 'colorful metaphores' doesn't mean he doesn't eventually turn in to very much the same kirk we knew and loved... He's a hero now... he's captain- he will start changing his ways- kind of like a rebel politician who gets into office is forced to temper themselves when the whole world is now watchin... he won't be able to pull off kicking the crap out of other starfleet officers... his diction will improve as he becomes more diplomatic / professional- people will show him more respect and he won't always need to be on the defensive... I can see this young jim kirk becoming the admril kirk of the future- plus still having the guts to steal the enterprise in 15 years if need be to rescue a friend.... or to attempt time travel to save earth...
Resistance is not futile!
Saw the Movie!
BUT I will be seeing it again before posting a review.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - On Wednesday April 1st, the water base rate for most Lubbock households will go from $8 dollars to $18. In the midst of harsh economic times most residents need a little help.
Councilman Todd Klein says that's where the city's water affordability program comes in.
"The charitably groups are saying we just don't have the money to assist people and that's a new dilemma they are already challenged with the economic forces that our out there. This new factor is just something they can't budget for to assist people so for this one year I want the city to play a role in helping that," said Klein.
But there are strict requirements. To qualify for the city's water affordability program you must make $22,000 a year or less and at least one household resident must be 65 or older, mentally or physically disabled, or you must have at least one child under the age of 18.
"This project is about making a minor but significant adjustment for those people on modest and fixed income, but I want to be very clear and this is not a massive amount of money to offset the full impact," said Klein.
If you think you qualify, call for a pre-screening. The number is 775-2291.

Eminem To Play Glasgow Summer Sessions Festival
The hip hop star will treat Scottish fans to a performance just days before he heads to two big outdoor shows in England.
The star also played at Scotland's T in the Park festival in 2010
Eminem has been announced as the first act for a new festival to be held in Scotland.
The 40-year-old rapper will headline the Glasgow Summer Sessions, to be held in the city's Bellahouston Park, on August 20.
The event includes a variety of shows of different genres taking place over 10 days, with Eminem's performance coming just a few days before he plays the Reading and Leeds festivals.
His last big appearance in the UK was at the V Festival in 2011.
Geoff Ellis, the chief executive of organisers DF Concerts, said he was "delighted" the Detroit-born musician had signed up.
"His performance at T in the Park and his previous stadium show at Hampden were spectacular, so this gig will be one of the events of the year," said Mr Ellis.
Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers III, is due to release his new album this year - heralded by MTV as one of the "most anticipated of 2013."
His last studio album was 2010's Recovery.
The rapper has already notched up more than 40 million album sales and 42 million track downloads in the US alone.
Tickets for the star's performance at the Summer Sessions go on sale on January 30, with more acts soon to be announced.

This sandbox is intended for saving drafts of long, complex answers, especially answers whose composition takes a long time. It serves to localize to one thread the front-page "bumps" caused by edits to drafts of such answers, so that they may be easily ignored. Also, it helps to guard against losing longly-composed answers due to system crashes.
When you are happy with your draft here, you may simply copy the code and paste it to the desired location.
Proper Use of the Sandbox
- Do not post a new answer! We wish all the answers on this page to be owned by the Community user (so that only a non-sentient bot is informed of edits to these answers). Posting a new answer will make you the owner, meaning that you will be notified whenever another user makes an edit to that answer.
- Do not delete answers! Deleting seems like a reasonable option, but there are no "hard deletions" on Stack Exchange, and users will sufficient privileges will still see your supposedly deleted postings.
- Do look for an answer which indicates that it is free and then edit it to your heart's content. If none looks available, take over the one that has been left unchanged the longest (which will appear at the bottom of the page if you order answers by "activity").
- Do clear your draft when you are finished. This includes removing all $\LaTeX$ from your answers. Replacing all code with a simple statement like
This answer is free for anyone to use
is sufficient. Periodically users may go through and free up answer slots that have not been edited in, say, over one month. But you can aid in the smooth running of this sandbox by clearing away your drafts when you are finished with them.
- Do not create new such sandboxes. The point of having a unique such sandbox is that it minimizes the noise on the front page when the sandbox is edited. If there were multiple sandboxes they will frequently occupy numerous front page slots, pushing other topics off the front page, and increasing noise.

Crime Stoppers needs your help to solve a recent robbery and carjacking that occurred July 12 at a gas station on the 6800 block of 1st Avenue North.
Around 4:30 pm, the driver of a Ford truck drove up to the gas pump. While he sat in the truck, two black males approached him. One carried a gun and told the victim to give him his Ford F-150.
"It took both suspects a few minutes to talk the victim into giving up his car," said Detective Pat Green.
Then, the men got inside and drove away. Police found the truck a few blocks away, but the suspects got away with a compressor.
"Mom and pop car washes are opening up on every corner, and the compressor can be used for something like that," said Green. "Or it can be taken to a pawn shop."
If you have heard or seen anything that could help in the case, call Crime Stoppers at the contact information listed below.
Remember, all calls are anonymous. And if your tip leads to an arrest, detectives will give you a cash reward.
"If you fear that you're going to be revealed, it's not going to happen," Green added. "We're not in the business of divulging callers."
TO PROVIDE A TIP ON THE CASE: You can reach Crime Stoppers anytime at (205) 254-7777.
Also, you can text 7777, along with your tip, to the word "CRIMES." Or if you prefer to send an encrypted tip online, go to www.birminghamcrimestoppers.org and click on the "submit an online tip" link.
No matter which method you choose, you will remain anonymous. Each tipster receives a private code number. If an arrest is made based on an individual's tip, the tipster can use the code number to claim a cash reward.
Crime Stoppers cannot call tipsters to testify in court.
Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama is a partnership between local law enforcement, the Birmingham Business Alliance and ABC 33/40. Together, our goal is to make our community a safer place to live and work.

It is apparent we need another deep threat at receiver. Berrien is just a waste, can never get open. Harvin was lost at wide receiver, needs more time to develop on the outside. Punt returner is another problem berrien is not the answer. We also need a corner, our rookies are not the answer.
Where was Greg Camarillo in the first half?? He is definitely going to be Farve's go-to receiver this year, he has awesome hands.
Why did we abandon the run in the second half? Does chilly have a clue how to game plan??? Did you see how the Saints first drives of each half were scripted to perfection? That's what good coaching is all about.
Did anyone hear any updates on Mckinnie's injury? If he is down we need a offensive lineman as well, we should have picked up another one anyway after the cut-downs. I don't know why we are sitting on our hands with these much needed additions to our team. If this is our last chance with Farve at QB we need to make sure we have the needed personnel to make a run at the super bowl. Is Ziggy just to cheap or is Chilly really that dumb or both.

Mayor joins legion fundraisers for St George's celebration
Updated 4:29pm Monday 22nd April 2013 in News
DEDICATED Quarry Bank Bank Royal British Legion members have been busy selling button hole roses in honour of St George's Day to help give the 2013 poppy appeal a boost.
Volunteers, who have been selling red roses at Asda and Sainsbury's at Merry Hill, as well as Asda at Brierley Hill, were joined by Mayor of Dudley, councillor Melvyn Mottram, and his wife Michelle - the Mayoress, this morning (Monday April 22).
Branch spokesman Gloria Donovan said legion members also held a tombola yesterday (Sunday April 21) at Dartmouth Park, Sandwell, which together with the proceeds from roses has raised around £500 to date.
All money raised will go to the legion's poppy appeal, which supports Britain's armed forces personnel and their families.
The roses will remain on sale at the above supermarkets until tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday April 23).

The 2012 Philadelphia Eagles season can be described with only two words: Frustrating and Disappointing. So much talent wasted this year with injuries, poor decisions, poor play and general poverty by this team. With all this in mind, the question becomes 'What would Howie do?'.
I think the answer is clear: rebuild from the top. Lets retool for another push, and bring in some new guys that can make this a reality.
So without further ado, I bring to you...The Rebuild.
Head Coach - Sean Payton
Lets get the bountygate discussion out of the way first. Yes it was a terrible thing to do to opposing teams. Yes, it cost Payton and will haunt him. But Yes, it's also a very intriguing idea to me if I'm Howie Roseman. With Payton coming back to Philly and conjuring up those images of bounties on other players, I get reminded of the bounty bowl, and Buddy's bounty not on concussing opposing QB' but merely being able to get to them. And then I think, wow a swift kick up the rump that this D-Line needs to become elite.
Why Payton over Gruden, though. Well, I can't see Gruden doing all that much with what we have, to be honest. I can see him keeping Vick, keeping Nnamdi, and not doing too much else while trying his darnedest to win a SB with what we have. We don't need that. We need a rebuild and we need a coach that can bring in his own guys, his own systems and work with them. We need Payton as the rebuilding coach. There's also the fact that Payton is a 'winning' coach, statiscially winning ~65% of his matches.
Personnel-wise, I see Payton running the same schemes as Reid, with a more balanced offense. So we can expect the same wide-9 43 front, and we can expect a more balanced offense based around Shady and a 'field general' style QB (a la Brees).
That means Vick is gone. I have a feeling Foles starts for at least this coming season as a trial, but I don't know beyond that.
Bell is gone. Dunlap and Kelly the Back up tackles forces him out.
Babin I can see staying; Payton got results out of Will Smith at the same age. However, I can see a fresh Brandon Graham pushing Babin out. Graham has been playing superb in his limited game time this year and I have a feeling Payton will reward that when he goes back over footage. Very much a coinflip decision this one unless Babin decides to take a pay cut.
Nnamadi I honestly can't pick. Payton likes having good corners, but Nnamadi's play suggests that it may be worth going for someone else. I'll go into this one more in depth further down the post.
Offensive Co-ordinator -
Payton either does it all himself or brings his own guy in. I can't pick names for this one.
Defensive Co-ordinator -Todd Bowles
Has been thrown under the bus with turnovers and an inept offense. Will be given a second chance.
Some players have been talked about previously, but will be put down here for better record keeping. Overall not much of a rebuild here, but it does cut a fair bit of the chaff that has been accumulating this season.
Michael Vick- Gone. Doesn't have the spark anymore and doesn't match Payton's system.
Nnamdi Asomugha- Could be kept on at a cheaper price, but I don't think so. Can't be kept at current price no matter what Payton thinks our defense needs.
Demetrius Bell- See above. Surplus to requirements.
Chris Polk- PS material.
Daryl Tapp- Not re-signed. Surplus to requirements
Akeem Jordan - Let loose.
Mike Patterson - Cut. Hasn't been the same since his seizure, and being an ex-epileptic myself, I feel for him, but that's football. Hasn't produced like the Eagles need/want. Needs to be upgraded.
Landri - Resigned.
Dunlap- Resign on the cheap. 3yrs/ 5.5mil
Domonique Rodgers-Cromartie - Resigned 4yrs/42.5mil
Colt Anderson - resigned. ST monster. 3yrs/5.5mil
John Dorenbos - Resigned. Cheap because ST only player
I said the same thing two years ago when everyone was talking up Nnamdi, Babin et al: Don't just go for a name. Go for the younger alternative. Back then I advocated Brandon Carr (over Nnamdi Asomugha) and Manny Lawson (over Chad Greenway) and the same could be said for this offseason. Names like Dwight Freeney and Ryan Clady appear prominently in this list, but instead I'm going to focus on players that can improve the team, and not just give us another worthless probowler.
Jermon Bushrod - LT for the Saints. Payton has praised him publicly, and the Saints have yet to meet to resign him. Makes me think he's going to follow Payton. Would be a superb addition to this line whether or not Jason Peters makes it back.
Glenn Dorsey - DT/DE for the Chiefs. Hasn't lived up to the hype due to being shuffled from here to there in a changing Chiefs defense (are they a 43? Are they a 34?). Strong at the point of attack with good hand use. I for one would love him paired with Cox for the next 3+ years.
Sean Smith - CB for the Dolphins. 6'4 and can certainly cover. Whether he'll be available I'm not sure, but the Dolphins don't have a tonne of cap room.
The draft will focus on repairing the O-Line, upgrading the Safety position, and replacing and upgrading players that have left or are about to be asked to leave.

Off_Eff eFG% TO% OR% FTR
2007 109.7 52.4 19.6 35.3 29.2
2008 97.1 48.0 22.3 31.7 23.9
Those are conference-only numbers. I really can't overstate just how good Thornton was against the ACC in 2007; he took more than a third of FSU's shots while he was on the court and still managed to shoot over 56% and turn the ball over less than 12% of the time. That's incredible efficiency for such a massive workload. By handling so much all by himself, he demanded a ton of attention and allowed his teammates to assume role player-level workloads (aside from Thornton, only Toney Douglas used more than 20% of the team's possessions), and they were better for it.
This season, Douglas and Jason Rich have been forced to step up their involvement. The results (conf-only again)...
ORtg %Poss %Shots eFG% TO%
Rich 2007 109.7 18.2 17.1 53.9 22.8
Rich 2008 94.8 24.6 26.1 47.3 21.1
ORtg %Poss %Shots eFG% TO%
Douglas 2007 108.5 22.6 22.4 49.5 20.4
Douglas 2008 106.8 25.5 27.7 54.4 20.6
Isaiah Swann's knee injury put even more pressure on these two guys to produce, and it's evident in Rich's case that he wasn't ready for this. Douglas has been fine, and that's not surprising considering his talent and his 2007 numbers; an extra three shots per 40 minutes isn't a huge deal for a player of his caliber. Rich, on the other hand, was the least frequent shooter among FSU's starting five in 2007, and he is attempting five more shots per 40 minutes in '08. So he has made the bigger transition, going from taking 17% of the shots to 26% of them; that's tough on anybody.
If the Noles were playing defense this season like they did in 2007, they'd be battling NC State for the worst efficiency margin in the ACC. Fortunately for them, they aren't. The defensive factors:
Def_Eff eFG% TO% OR% FTR
2007 109.0 52.9 19.5 34.8 37.1
2008 103.2 51.1 23.5 35.9 42.9
Opponents are hitting their shots (two-pointers, more specifically) less frequently, while FSU is also forcing a lot more turnovers. Douglas, who has doubled his steal percentage from 2.6% in '07 to 5.2% this year, is a big reason for that. He's the best thief in the ACC.

A group calling itself the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment staged a third protest Saturday morning in front of the San Marino home of a Wells Fargo Bank executive to state their objection to what they perceive as predatory home mortgage lending.
At 12:21 p.m., the San Marino Police Dept. received a call declaring that approximately twenty protestors had assembled at the residence, which is located above Lacy Park. One family member was home at the time of the demonstration.
By the time police arrived, the number had swelled to seventy-five. The protestors made a barricade in the street using yellow caution tape in order to enclose them in front of the property.
Citing two ordinances recently adopted by the San Marino City Council to control such disturbances, Police Sgt. Timothy Tebbetts issued several verbal warnings in order to relocate the group to a legal distance from the property. When the mob refused and it was determined the protestors were blocking street access, the assembly was declared unlawful. At approximately 12:58 p.m. a dispersal order was given and the protestors broke down their effort and left the area peacefully, according to Sgt. Tebbetts, who served as the officer in charge at the scene.
The SMPD received assistance from the San Gabriel and South Pasadena Police Departments, according to Tebbetts, who indicated that a total of ten officers were on site. No arrests or citations were issued.
"The new ordinances really worked well," said Police Chief Tim Harrigan, who left his home in LaVerne when he heard of the protest and praised Sgt. Tebbetts for a job "extremely well done."
The Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment had brought an attorney to the demonstration who reportedly told police that the group just wanted to finish their media opportunity and they would leave peacefully.
"Give us a dispersal order and we'll leave, the attorney said.
Tebbetts gave them five minutes to vacate the area. The group was gone in three, save some stragglers who were waiting for a ride.

UFC President Dana White has stated that he & current reigning 170lb champion Georges St. Pierre are comfortable and agreed that should he successfully defend his title against #1 contender & dangerous Jake Shields, then the WW kingpin would vacate his title to compete at 185lbs as a MW & face champion Anderson Silva. Facts and technicalities are mixed as White has also announced that the winner of the upcoming UFC 127 170lb Main Event between 2x Champion BJ Penn & long time contender Jon Fitch would become the #1 contender for the title.
Should GSP win and vacate his title, that would mean Jake Shields would have to lose. If GSP were to vacate the title, then the division would be without a champion. Would the winner of Penn/Fitch be automatically crowned the new champion following a GSP victory? Or will a new title fight be arranged similar to when Penn fought Joe Stevenson for the vacant 155lb title after Sean Sherk was stripped of it? If the latter is the case, then who would be the second fighter to contest for the title? Depending on his probable method of defeat, Shields may be offered the title fight again to face the winner of Penn/Fitch for the title.Would this be justified?
Should Shields lose and possibly be offered a second title shot, which match up would be more interesting? Penn is once again known for his KO power after his best-out-of-three win over fellow former champ Matt Hughes at UFC 123, and is well known as The Prodigy being a record holder for becoming one of the fastest people to earn a black belt in BJJ. Fitch on the other hand has been seen as a mirror image of GSP in technique and performance ever since his loss to the champion in 2008 at UFC 87. Either match up would put Shields, or whom ever the UFC decides to put in this bout, against a top veteran in one of the most stacked divisions in the sport.
A lot rides on the line just on this one match as the most important bout in goth GSP's & Shields career with great potential to follow. With a win for GSP, he would have successfully defended his title for the sixth consecutive time along with breaking the record for most consecutive title defenses as UFC 170lb champion, and will relieve himself of his long held title to seek new competition in the division just above his own. With a win for Shields, he would be next to Anderson Silva as having won a UFC title in only his second bout under the UFC banner, he would become the second fighter to pull an upset over GSP in a title bout along with being only the third fighter to hold a victory over him, and would face top competition in either Penn or Fitch; or even an automatic rematch between him & GSP.
So much rides on this one bout, so much that their is no doubt the atmosphere will be thick with anticipation just for the weigh ins alone for this event.

Brisket Day!
I'm hungry for beef tacos tonight, plus my son has a wrestling tournament after school that will last God knows how long, SO I'm cooking a beef brisket with chipotle chiles in a slow cooker. I'm using a recipe from "What's Gaby Cooking" modified slightly – I'm not putting in any molasses. I have some Guinness in the fridge left over from holidays and was tempted to add that, but I wasn't sure if it would make the broth bitter and waste the entire brisket. Will test that another time on smaller cut of meat.
We will be eating this thing all week – it is a full brisket (5+ lbs) as that is all the butcher had in where I shop. Once the meat is cooked totally tender and shredded, I spoon it plus some of the onions and chiles onto a flour tortilla.
I put out chopped cabbage, crumbled Mexican cheese, guacamole, and salsa to go with. Cabbage has more heft and crunch than lettuce and will hold its own with the brisket. I think lettuce is OK on ground beef tacos, but is too wimpy for brisket. The whole process is so easy – I sliced and sauteed the onions and garlic this morning, then stirred them into the slow cooker along with the chiles and all of the spices. The brisket is seared in the same skillet and then stuffed (did I mention it is HUGE?) into the slow cooker and left to cook on low for however long it is until we get home tonight.
Way easy! Plus the house smells fabulous all day long with all of those spices!
New year – new commitments!
I'm a believer in New Year's resolutions. To be more accurate, I'm a believer in ONGOING resolutions. I read once that it takes 21 days of action to make something a habit in your life. So, I'm constantly assessing all aspects of my life and tweaking. No draconian measures, just constant evaluation and improvement.
Lowe's – No More….
Dear Lowe's:
I am writing to let you know that I will no longer shop at Lowe's due to your recent pulling of advertising from the TV show "Muslim in America".
I don't watch that show, nor anything else on that channel, but the fact that you let your advertising policy be dictated by a group of ignorant self-righteous bullies is ridiculous.
The Florida Family Association has every right to express their opposition and to voice their opinions, but Lowe's should not feel compelled to defer to them.
I hope the Florida Family people spend enough at your stores to make up for all of the other customers you are driving away by your recent cowardly short-sighted actions.
And I must say that if Lowe's actions were NOT in reaction to the Florida Family Association, but just a reflection of your own corporate values (or lack thereof), then that is even worse than cowardly.
I have spent $XXXX at Lowe's in the past two years. I realize that the amount we have spent is no big deal in your overall corporate picture, but from this point on, it will be ZERO!
How's your PC?
That's pimento cheese, NOT political correctness, for any non-southerners. It is a southern staple. Served on sandwiches, with crackers, and shockingly (to me anyway) scooped on top of hamburgers, it is a southern staple. Primarily composed of cheese and mayo, this is not a food for a nutrition fiend. I am very picky about what I eat, but as I'm a total gym rat and work out ALL the time, I think there is room in my diet for the occasional "junk". Sorry to you southern people to deem your PC as nutrional junk, but that's basically it. Anyway, I LOVE Carrie's Hot Pimento Cheese. It is from a kitchen in Charleston and it is totally addictive. It has Tabasco sauce and cayenne pepper mixed in to give it some zest and takes it out of the "boring" category. You can find it in Charlotte at Reid's Fine Foods on Selwyn Ave. Apparently, if you order biscuits to accompany, you can buy it online from www.calliesbiscuits.com

I do make the sandwiches on whole grain bread as a concession – that does keep it out of the total junk food category – or maybe I'm just justifying my craving!
The garden IS growing!
I'm sitting here in the 92 degree weather like a moron looking at my gorgeous little garden. I THINK, just for the
moment, I have the upper hand on the beetles that were devastating the eggplant. I certainly hope so, it's about time for those to start producing. Thanks to NEEM oil and thanks to Matt Kokenes of microfarm Organic Gardens for turning me onto the stuff, the plants are looking much repaired.
The House Hunt…………..
I spent the afternoon looking at houses. Not a bad afternoon; it was actually lots of fun. Visited eight places – five warrant a second visit, the other three, I NEVER want to see again. I feel a lot like Goldilocks – most of the houses are too big or too small, still looking for JUST right size.
I feel for the people who have to keep their houses clean while on the market; that is absolute MISERY! You run around, cleaning everything, hiding the dog and the dirty laundry and then go out and drive around the block while people come through and pick EVERYTHING to pieces. People will complain about the DUMBEST things! It is SO hard to take the criticism after a while. You have this house that you have lived in, loved, taken care of, and people bitch about the landscaping, the kitchen, too may rooms, not enough bathrooms, too much yard, not enough yard, etc. etc. etc. It is really hard! On the one hand, you hope for somebody to come along who will love your house as much as you did and that it will be the perfect space for them. On the other hand, COME ON! – a lot of the complaints can be easily remedied if you have half a brain. The worst is people who complain about the paint color or the shrubs in the front yard. I firmly believe that people who are too stupid to re-paint a room or replace some shrubbery are just too stupid to own a house in the first place.
So, with that, I did not dump any houses off the list because of PAINT colors. The ones I nixed had:
1) kid's graffiti all over the walls in the living room – can't you clean that up? Can't you tell your kids NOT to write on the living room walls? Who's the adult here?? It just made the whole house seem grungy and unkempt.
2) a floor plan that was like a maze in Alice in Wonderland – I may have nightmares about that tonight.
3) eight foot ceilings. I am a fixer-upper and believe that just about anything can be remedied, EXCEPT, there's just not a lot you can do about eight foot ceilings.
So – it is back later this week for round two with the remaining five houses to show the spousal unit and younger offspring. UNLESS these sellers all get offers in the meantime, which is a very real possibility around here right now…………………

Athletics: Girl power keeps Southampton sitting pretty in league
10:00am Monday 30th June 2014 in Sport
SOUTHAMPTON Athletics Club consolidated third place in the UK Youth Development League South with a great finish to the latest round, held in Bromley.
Fifth in the standings late into the competition, Southampton finished strongly with victories in the under-13 boys and under-13 girls javelin to move up into fourth overall on the day.
The club's under-13 girls again performed superbly, Lucy-Jane Matthews and Ettie Hammond achieving victories in the A and B string hurdles respectively – the former equalling her pb.
Matthews followed up with second place in the A string high jump. In the sprint races, Hannah Childs and Grace Griffiths came fourth and fifth in the A and B string 75m races. The sprinting duo both ran the 150m being placed fourth and second respectively in the A and B string races.
In the long jump, the club's A and B string jumpers – Matthews and Hammond – jumped well, with the former producing a superb Grade 1 pb jump and Hammond a Grade 4 jump to come third in the A string and first in the B string competition.
In the shot put, Samantha Callaway (A string) and Griffiths (B string) came third.
Back out on the track, 800m runners Richardson and Ciara Blount performed well, Richardson coming fourth in the A string and Blount third in the B event. Poppy Wright ran a well-paced race for the A string coming fourth in the 1,200m, while Elizabeth Adamson was just outside her pb in coming third in the B string.
Maximum points came in the javelin, Callaway and Wright winning the A and B string events. The relay team – Laura Jones, Matthews, Childs and Griffiths – produced a huge pb for fourth place as Southampton finished second overall in the under-13 age group.
The under-15 girls, missing key members through illness and injury, finished fourth overall.
Squad: Isabelle Bennett, Jade Clements, Freya Coe, Hannah Griffiths, Ellie Hodgson, Molly Jeneway, Grace Kelly, Georgia O'Dell, Holly Powell, Grace Reavey, Ariela Richardson, Amaya Scott and Abigail Voller.
The under-13 boys again impressed, Callum Gregson setting a new pb in the high jump with 1.43m and Ben Vaughan setting a new best in the long jump with 4.49m. Johsua Wise went one better in the shot with a new club record of 9.45m.
Under-15 team: Ben Uofold, Joshua Nash, Reiss Jarvis, Arm Harawan, George Rosam, Jack Higgins, Daniel Hoiles, Kieran Apps, Sam Bridges, Sam Gray and Max Satterly.

This may be music snob suicide, but I'll willingly admit to not having heard any of Magnetic Fields' albums before i fell into my proverbial lap.
Oh, of course I'd heard of them. When snobbing, band names get tossed around so casually, eventually you learn band names by sheer osmosis. You can list off the essentials in a band's discography, the side projects of their various members and a half dozen reasons why they're clearly better than Nickelback, all without having more than the vaguest of ideas what they sound like.
Judging from other reviews of i, my unfamiliarity with the group, or more accurately Stephen Merritt and the occasional collaborator, is an advantage. I'm not burdened with how the Fields' last album 69 Love Songs, was an impossibly brilliant three disc epic able to shatter time, space and the collective unconscious of humanity if anyone were to fully grasp its importance. I didn't notice the dramatic departure from the lo-fi synth sound Merritt used before blatantly selling his soul to get a major label deal. I don't have to gripe about how "I Don't Believe You" was originally released six years ago, so clearly Merritt is running out of ideas.
All I have to know is that i is much less pretentious and more charming than its concept would suggest (each of the album's 14 tracks begin with the letter "I"). Merritt sings self-deprecating lyrics in a deep tenor more pleasing than it should be, while harpsichords, glockenspiels, banjos and even an electric sitar flesh out the arrangements. Who cares if it isn't lo-fi--it still sounds damn good.

What's needed to win? Well we need to be in the top 5 in both Offense and Defense. Nate is a defensive minded coach but we have mostly offensive minded players.
Offensive players are : Roy, Aldridge, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Fernandez
Defensive players are: Przybilla, Oden, Batum
Both Oden and Batum are inexperienced. Both have the potential to be great defenders but will they improve quickly enough? Its bound to take them a couple of seasons to develop the necessary tricks to defend the league's premier players such as James, Wade and Bryant. By 'tricks' I mean all the uncalled-for holding and tripping that players like Bowen, Posey, Ariza and Battier do all the time. It takes time to establish a familiarity with the referees to pull off those obvious fouls and not get called for them. So if we want to win now, we need a 'veteran' defensive player to take the pressure off of Batum and Oden so they are free to develop their all around game. A veteran defensive player will also be able to help Batum and Oden learn the 'tricks'.
Where our team needs to improve defensively are in 1) Protecting the paint 2) Opposistion fg%3) Creating turnovers 4) Opposistion 3pt%
Last season we were pretty much awfull in all 4 categories. We won't win in the Playoffs, nevermind the title if we don't make it in at least the top 10 in those categories. I believe that the teams goal should be to finish the regular season in the top 5 in overall defense.
How to make it happen? It has been suggested that Houston would be a great trade partner what with having one of the best defensive players in the league. But I would really hate to not only give up our very own Vanilla Gorilla but to then see him at a rival Western Conference team. I am not sure giving up Joel for Battier is our best option. I'd rather offer them a 1st round pick but I know the Rockets are desperately in need of a Center. Perhaps a 3 team trade would be best.A sign and trade with Atlanta's Pachulia would be good for them. Personally I'd rather trade Rudy for Battier and a protected 1st round pick from Houston. Webster can shift over to back up Roy and Batum would backup Shane. We will never be able to keep Rudy for that long anyways, plus his trade value could go down if we don't trade him this summer.
The next move that I'd make would be to get Millsap to sign an offer sheet. Paul is already I really good defender and rebounder. His versatilaty allows him to defend not only Power Fowards but certain Centers(backups) and certain Small Forwards. Wouldn't it be nice to see Millsap guard Artest and Battier guarding Bryant? Roy wanted a physical team and with Battier and Millsap, we'd have one!

With the onset of cooler weather, the arrival of colds, flu and other common but infectious diseases can be expected. Recent media attention on infectious diseases in Virginia, such as MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), inevitably raises concerns about their potential transmission among a close-knit community.
Health officials cite practicing good hygiene as the best preventive measure against infectious diseases, including MRSA. The following tips were sent to Old Dominion University students as a reminder. You may also want to reinforce these points with your student(s):
1. Wash your hands often, especially before meals and after using the restrooms.
2. Keep your bathrooms clean and clear of debris.
3. Wipe down surfaces with disinfectant cleansers or a bleach solution
4. Frequently wipe down "high touch" surfaces, i.e. door handles, tabletops, and your desk or study areas.
5. After workouts with exercise equipment, be sure to remove perspiration by wiping the surfaces clean.
6. Cough into your sleeve to trap any air born germs.
7. Sneezing is a good way to carry germs, cover your mouth or turn your head away from others. Be sure to wash your hands after sneezing.
8. Dispose used tissues into the trash. Do not leave them laying on surfaces.
9. Use alcohol based hand sanitizers between soap and water hand washing
10. Try to avoid getting overly tired and not eating well as this can lower your resistance.
11. If you receive an injury or have an open wound, please go to the Student Health Center to have it checked out and treated if necessary.
Students also were reminded to make use of Student Health Services located at 1007 South Webb University Center or call 757-683-3132 for any of their health care concerns. Student Health Services is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with extended hours until 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays.
If it is a life-threatening emergency, Public Safety (757-683-4000) should be notified for immediate assistance. To reach the "on-call clinician" after hours or on weekends, call Public Safety and ask to speak to the on-call clinician. Public Safety will page the on-call clinician, who will return the call to the student and advise them accordingly. There are hospitals and urgent care facilities within a couple of miles from the campus.
