Summer, 1972: In the claustrophobic heat, eleven-year-old Byron and his friend begin 'Operation Perfect', a hapless mission to rescue Byron's mother from impending crisis. Winter, present day: As frost creeps across the moor, Jim cleans tables in the local cafe, a solitary figure struggling with OCD. His job is a relief from the rituals that govern his nights. Little would seem to connect them except that two seconds can change everything. And if your world can be shattered in an instant, can time also put it right?
"A near-flawless novel of emotional truth. Joyce executes this story with precision and flair... Its unputdownable factor lies in its exploration of so many multilayered emotions... It is her clever did-I-read-that-right twist at the end that really got to me and had me scrabbling back through the chapters, open-mouthed." Evening Standard "The power of Joyce's prose lies in small, astute observations... [her] subtle touches give the book an intense, slightly mesmeric feel. Tense and engrossing... readers who loved The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry will not be disappointed." Sunday Times "Joyce's faith in the essential goodness of humanity and her observation of the comedy in the everyday shine through... This is a darker, more complex novel than Joyce's first but readers will find other points of comparison. Not least a twist that few will see coming and will leave you reeling; and a redemptive ending that is perhaps the sweeter given all the pain that goes before. An instant classic, Perfect confirms Rachel Joyce as a major new British literary voice." Daily Express "Diana herself is faultless. She is to Perfect what Harold Fry was to [The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry]: a fully rounded hero, someone to fall in love with and argue about, cherish and admonish, as though she were real... If only there were more novelists like Rachel Joyce" Telegraph "What's right with it? You'll fall in love with the characters. They're kind, anxious, flawed, funny and wonderful. Also, knowing that the two stories will have to meet builds a wonderful sense of tension. What's wrong with it? Nothing. It's brilliant. Even the fact that Byron is convinced that scientists tried to slip an extra two seconds into time is a wonderful hook for all the decisions he goes on to make. Verdict: Uplifting, engaging, sad and funny. A perfect follow-up to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry." Heat magazine's #1 book to be reading right now (July)

Still, what a mega night that was. Caught up with Dev, Ryan, Beav, and Dave a few months later at the Irish gig and got the group pic from the VIP Retinal Circus signed.

Rory McIlroy2014 Champion Golfer of the Year
Take a look through The Open Championship Magazine 2014
Like The Open Championship on Facebook
15 July 2014 15:16 BST
Tiger Woods has not played much golf this season but that doesn't mean he has lowered his expectations heading into this year's Open Championship.
The former World No. 1 is at Royal Liverpool in search of a 15th Major title on the course where he won the 2006 Open. The 38-year-old sees no reason why he cannot collect another Claret Jug come Sunday night.
"First," he said in answer to a question about what would be an acceptable finish for him this weekend. "That's always the case."
Woods has played only once competitively since undergoing major back surgery in March but he believes those two rounds at the Quicken Loans National at Congressional are all he needs.
"Playing at Congressional was a big boost to me," he said. "The fact I was able to go at it (the ball) hard, and hit it like that with no pain was big for me. It wasn't like that the previous time I played. Playing at both the Honda and the Doral I did not feel well. But to come back and be able to hit the ball as well as I was able to hit it was great. I've gotten stronger since then, more explosive and faster."
Tiger's one concession was to arrive at Hoylake one day early to get in some extra practice. "I went to Geneva for a day, but came here a day earlier than I normally would and it has worked out," he said. "I played Saturday. I played Sunday and I took yesterday off.
"I've seen the golf course in three different winds and that's awfully nice because I've had to hit completely different clubs off the tee. I'm ready."
Woods went on to shed some new light on how much he had suffered before back surgery. "When my knee was bad, I could still do things. I could still swing a club, although it hurt a lot to do it. However, with the back, I didn't want to do anything. I couldn't get out of bed. I couldn't move around the house. I couldn't actually enjoy my life at all."
Woods arrived at Hoylake eight years ago just months after his father, Earl, had passed away. "It was an emotional time," he admitted. "As you know, I pressed pretty hard at Augusta that year, trying to win it, because it was the last time my Dad was ever going to see me play a Major Championship. I didn't play well at the (US) Open and missed the cut there miserably. Then I came here and just felt at peace. I really, really played well. On Sunday I really felt calm out there.
"I've had a few moments like that in Majors, where I felt that way on Sunday, and that was certainly one of them," he added. "I think that in 1997 at Augusta I had it going pretty good. 2000 at both the US Open and The Open Championship I had it going pretty good, as well. 2006 was the same. I wouldn't necessarily say it was every day but certainly on Sunday I really felt my Dad was with me on that one round. I said back then in 2006 it was like having a 15th club. It was all a bit surreal."
The R&A extends its gratitude to its Patrons for their support of The Open Championship.

Realogy's revenue, loss fall; commissions rise
- 5:38 pm Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 by Jeff Ostrowski
For the largest real estate broker in the county, state and nation, revenue fell to $1 billion in the second quarter of 2009 from $1.4 billion a year earlier.
But Realogy Corp.'s loss narrowed to $15 million from $27 million a year ago as the company cut costs. See the results, announced this afternoon, here.
Parsippany, N.J.-based Realogy owns Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate and Corcoran Real Estate offices in Palm Beach County and franchises the Century 21, ERA, Sotheby's International Realty and Better Homes and Gardens brands.

Head of nation's largest brokerage warns against "overly optimistic" predictions about housing
- 12:28 pm Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 by Jeff Ostrowski
The head of the largest real estate brokerage in the nation isn't feeling too cheerful about the housing market. Here's what Realogy Corp. CEO Richard Smith said in yesterday's earnings call:
"Of late, there has been a good deal of optimism expressed in the media about the housing
market and where it is in the cycle. The emerging view by some is that we are at or near the bottom and that there are early signs of a near-term recovery."
"Well, based on our first-quarter results and our leading market-share position in the industry, we believe that some of these reports — [More]
Big loss, but Realogy Corp. says no bankruptcy — and commissions are rising
- 10:27 am Thursday, February 26th, 2009 by Jeff Ostrowski
Realogy Corp., the largest real estate broker in Palm Beach County, Florida and the U.S., says it lost $1.9 billion in 2008 as revenue, transactions, and commission income slumped.
However, Realogy, owner of the Coldwell Banker, Century 21, ERA, Sotheby's, and Better Homes and Gardens brands, says bankruptcy is not in its future. During a conference call last night, Realogy CEO Richard Smith called bankruptcy "the elephant in the room" — and said Chapter 11 rumors are "completely false and without merit."
"It is a self-serving notion promoted by the popular press and some of our uninformed competitors and is [More]
Realogy's revenue falls in third quarter, loss narrows
- 5:31 pm Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 by Jeff Ostrowski
Realogy Corp., the largest real estate broker in the county, the state and the nation, lost $50 million in the third quarter, compared to a loss of $55 million a year ago.
Realogy says its revenue fell to $1.34 billion from $1.62 billion a year ago.
And the slow market is increasing commissions only slightly. The average commission side (Realtorspeak for half the fee) rose to 2.52 percent from 2.49 percent for Realogy's franchised operations and to 2.48 percent from 2.46 percent for corporate-owned offices.
See the earnings release here.

Realogy still losing money, commissions still at 5%
- 1:19 pm Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 by Jeff Ostrowski
Realogy Corp., the largest broker in Palm Beach County, Florida and the nation, says it lost $27 million in the second quarter. Realogy also says commissions remain at about 5 percent.
For Realogy's franchisees — which include Century 21, Coldwell Banker, ERA, Sotheby's International Realty and the new Better Homes and Gardens Realty — the average "commission side" rose to 2.52 percent in the second quarter from 2.49 percent a year ago. (A sale has two sides, buyer and seller, so an average of 2.52 percent would equate to a full commisison of 5.04 percent.)
For Realogy's corporate-owned operations — [More]

For months on end in 2013, my daughter had a chronic, rough-sounding cough, severe chest congestion and back-to-back bouts with viruses and infections. To rule out serious illnesses and conditions such as pneumonia, childhood asthma and cystic fibrosis, we saw multiple doctors and specialists, one of whom - a pediatric pulmonologist - sent my then-20-month old toddler for a chest X-ray. Thankfully, it was clear.
Editor, The board of directors of Seven Ministries of Liberty County Inc. would like to thank the community for supporting the 2014 Jackie Gilliard-Henderson Memorial Scholarship Walk-a-Thon fundraiser. The weather was a little chilly for our fourth annual event, but the crowd was one of the largest we've had and, again, we say thanks.
Editor, The time to act is now. All Americans must stop and take a close look at the symbol of our great nation, which they might have flying over their residence, place of business, on their vehicles or even on their clothes. Is that great symbol of your freedom, the American flag, unserviceable? By that, I mean is it worn, torn, dirty or just plain ragged? If so, now is the time to replace it with a brand-new American flag.
Editor, In the Friday, May 9 Courier, I saw that the Liberty County Board of Commissioners has finalized the list of SPLOST projects. I noticed that the east end of Liberty County, as usual, was granted just a small portion of the projected $54 million. The two items that I see listed is the Midway City Hall ($317,384) and an east-end medical clinic ($362,725). These two projects are about 0.013 percent of the total revenue expected from SPLOST.
Editor: The city of Hinesville is hosting the fourth annual Project Homeless Connect on June 14, in the Bradwell Institute gymnasium. Each year, at least 100 families in this community experience homelessness. These families most often include young children, victims of domestic violence, people with disabilities, veterans and senior citizens. Regardless of whether their experience is for one night or longer, it is our endeavor to minimize this traumatic experience and prevent homelessness.
To David Perdue, Jack Kingston and Michelle Nunn: Congratulations on making it this far in your quests to become our newest U.S. senator. As you prepare for the next phases of your campaigns, I thought I would pass along to you some unsolicited advice for your consideration.
No matter how old I get, I still need my mom - and my mother-in-law. That's especially true now that I have my own family, house, career and other obligations. This precarious juggling act necessitates a need for motherly help like never before.
I recall a visit I once had with Mama. It was a couple of years before she just up and died without warning and when we least expected it.
Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You may vote in elections, but when you volunteer, you vote about the kind of community you want to live in. - source unknown
Can you believe school already is out for the summer? It seems like it was just yesterday that we began day one of the 2013-14 school year in Liberty County and "set sail" on a course of excellence toward developing the 21st century learner. It's been a busy year of change; but overall, a great year with numerous successes and accomplishments. I am so very proud of our bright and talented students as well as our dedicated faculty and staff in the Liberty County School System. The process has been labor-intensive, but all to the benefit of our students.
Editor, On behalf of the Liberty County Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Observance Association, I want to personally thank our community for its incredible support. We have reached a milestone in our philanthropic work, as this year marks a total of $100,000 awarded in scholarships to high-school seniors.
How's this for a conflict? Recently, I had to choose between going to New York and attending the prestigious Peabody Award ceremonies, sponsored by the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Georgia, or an opportunity to participate in the 14th annual Washpot Festival in Garfield.
Editor, Who can say no to puppy kisses? It's the rare person who does not melt when confronted with a darling puppy full of energy. But it also is the rare person who stops to think about the origin of that puppy.
Editor, The 10th annual scholarship golf tournament was held April 12, and it was the culmination of several events this year hosted by the Liberty County Dr. M.L. King Jr. Observance Association.
Somewhere along the line, it seems, people stopped talking about the American Dream. I can't recall the last time I heard anyone, in person or through the media, remind folks that we live in the greatest country on Earth and that here in this land of profound freedom, opportunities abound and no one, regardless of race or socioeconomic background, is held back from grand and lofty aspirations.
If I die anytime soon - and I have no plans to do so at the moment - please see that the first paragraph of my obituary reads, "He was past president of the University of Georgia National Alumni Association." You can save for later paragraphs the part about my being often mistaken for Brad Pitt and my uncanny ability to put commas where they don't belong.
"It's a funny thing." That's what Mama used to say when something baffled her. Like Mama, I prefer that things make sense. Otherwise, I'll ponder, figure, study and try to decipher that funny thing until it's somewhat sensible.
Are you ready to make a difference this fall? Then consider volunteering this month for our ninth annual Rivers Alive in Liberty County.
I imagine, from time to time, you all get tired of reading about my adventures in toddler town and would like to hear from other parents. So, as you can imagine, I was thrilled when Hinesville Public Relations Manager Krystal Britton Hart took me up on my offer to guest write this week's column. Krystal has two daughters herself, one of whom is the same age as my daughter, Reese. I enjoy comparing notes and talking with her, and I'm sure our readers will be as interested in hearing what she has to say as I am. Enjoy!

Men May Have Natural Aversion to Adultery With Friends' Wives
Via ScienceDaily:
… Read the rest
After outgrowing teenage infatuations with the girl next door, adult males seem to be biologically designed to avoid amorous attractions to the wife next door, according to a University of Missouri study that found adult males' testosterone levels dropped when they were interacting with the marital partner of a close friend. Understanding the biological mechanisms that keep men from constantly competing for each others' wives may shed light on how people manage to cooperate on the levels of neighborhoods, cities and even globally.
"Although men have many chances to pursue a friend's mate, propositions for adultery are relatively rare on a per opportunity basis," said Mark Flinn, professor of anthropology in the College of Arts and Science. "Men's testosterone levels generally increase when they are interacting with a potential sexual partner or an enemy's mate. However, our findings suggest that men's minds have evolved to foster a situation where the stable pair bonds of friends are respected."
Flinn says that these findings might help solve global problems.
Conner Habib Asks "Why Are We Afraid to Talk About Gay Porn?"

Corning, New York. Find it on the map: it hovers just above the Pennsylvania border, a long ways away from the two closest places you've heard of, Syracuse and Rochester. Like the small town I grew up in, it's all alone.
Two months ago, I was approached by a curious and thoughtful group of students from Corning Community College. The students, including members of the school's LGBT organization, invited me to speak at the school as part of their upcoming sex-positive community event, Sex Week. Other events during Sex Week include a Q&A about sex toys, and a discussion about pleasure and communication by members of Planned Parenthood and the Rape Crisis center.
Third, Fourth, and Fifth Genders In Cultures Around The World
Via PBS, a fascinating tour around the globe of societies which did not or do not recognize a male-female gender binary:
… Read the rest
On nearly every continent, and for all of recorded history, thriving cultures have recognized, revered, and integrated more than two genders. Terms such as transgender and gay are strictly new constructs that assume three things: that there are only two sexes (male/female), as many as two sexualities (gay/straight), and only two genders (man/woman).
Skoptsy were a Christian religious sect with extreme views on sex and gender. The community, discovered in 1771 in Western Russia, believed that Adam and Eve had had halves of the forbidden fruit grafted onto their bodies in the form of testicles and breasts. Therefore, they routinely castrated male children and amputated the breasts of women to return themselves the the state prior to original sin. Sex, vanity, beauty, and lust were considered the root of evil.
Pope's Retirement Linked To The Blackmailing Of A Circle Of Gay Vatican Officials, Reports Italian Press
I'm guessing the Vatican's secret circle of gay cardinals are also superheroes. The Guardian reports:

A potentially explosive report has linked the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI to the discovery of a network of gay [high-ranking clergy] in the Vatican, some of whom were being blackmailed by outsiders. The pope's spokesman declined to confirm or deny the report by the Italian daily newspaper La Repubblica.
The paper said the pope had decided on December 17th that he was going to resign – the day he received a dossier compiled on the so-called "Vatileaks" affair. Pope Benedict's butler, Paolo Gabriele, was arrested and charged with having stolen and leaked papal correspondence.
A quotation said some Vatican officials had been subject to "external influence" from laymen with whom they had links of a "worldly nature" — a reference to blackmail. La Repubblica's report was the latest in a string of claims that a gay network exists in the Vatican.
A 1950s PSA On The Danger Of Homosexuals
American Football As Ritual Homosexuality
Via Outsports, in honor of the Superbowl, enjoy some excerpts from Cal-Berkeley anthropologist Alan Dundes's classic 1978 text Into the End Zone for a Touchdown: A Psychoanalytic Consideration of American Football, which breaks down the meaning of your red-blooded Midwestern relatives' favorite sport:
… Read the rest
The whole language of football is involved in sexual allusions. We were told to go out and "fuck those guys"; to take that ball and "stick it up their asses" or "down their throats." Over the years I've seen many a coach get emotionally aroused while he was diagramming a particular play into an imaginary hole on the blackboard. His face red, his voice rising, he would show the ball carrier how he wanted him to "stick it in the hole."
It is highly likely that the ritual aspect of football, providing as it does a socially sanctioned framework for male body contact…is a form of homosexual behavior.

Harvard's newly acquired Julio Mario Santo Domingo Collection is the largest of its kind in the world. It includes a vast collection of boxes, drawers, shelves — whole rooms — full of art, literature, and popular culture artifacts dating back to the 16th century, related to the chief avenues to altered states of mind: sex and drugs.
The Santo Domingo collection is on long-term deposit at Harvard. "We do not own it," said Morris, but the owners "want us to catalog it, and they want it available for research." The largest collection of its kind in the world, it will gradually be available to scholars of literature, fine art, photography, film, history, medicine, popular culture, and more.
It has an estimated 30,000 books and 25,000 posters, photographs, and other ephemera assembled by Colombian businessman Julio Mario Santo Domingo Jr., who died in 2009.

Get thee behind me, "Exhaustion".
For the most part, modern materialist philosophy has banished our bogeys and exorcised our evil spirits, pushing them into the liminal spaces. For the most part, modern monsters have occupied the gaps, more than willing to take the fall for our acts of indiscretion. "Exhaustion" seems to be a most powerful demon among the celebrity set; "Shopping addictions" and other personifications of pleasure-seeking are also among the unholy horde. These aren't "demons" in any theological sense, unless you consider modernity a religion. Some of you may be disappointed: You want that Old Time Religion. Take heart, artful dodgers of culpability: occasionally one of these Elder Entities of the Id do break through the safety nets – such as the Incubus.… Read the rest
Body Pleasures and the Origins of Violence
A classic article, deserving a place in the Disinfo archives. James W. Prescott outlines the link between modern child-rearing practices and their impact on development, psychological well-being and adult behavior. He covers deprivation of loving touch, sexual repression, infant neglect, and the results to the adult psyche. Joseph Chilton Pearce started this conversation and Prescott fleshes it out. The discussion of these issues is still ongoing.

The sensory environment in which an individual grows up has a major influence upon the development and functional organization of the brain. Sensory stimulation is a nutrient that the brain must have to develop and function normally. How the brain functions determines how a person behaves. At birth a human brain is extremely immature and new brain cells develop up to the age of two years. The complexity of brain cell development continues up to about 16 years of age.

Michigan Basketball: A Tale of Two Tournaments — Preview
The conference championship is won, the tournament awaits. This is a true crap-shoot this year, no doubt, no debate. Teams that are playing on the first day, Ohio State, Iowa, and Indiana could make a run and pull off a final win. Usually, a team that has to play four days is cooked. But those teams have enough substance to make a big run.
The top four teams are not going to be easy to beat, but this could happen, the supposition is not a stretch. All four are in the tournament, excepting the still puzzling case of Nebraska. By now the Huskers should be in the mix, but the committee results await.
Michigan State and Wisconsin are best suited for the tough play of the tournament. But Michigan State is wounded and winded. This was demonstrated at Ohio State on Sunday. Wisconsin plays a tough and disciplined style that lends itself to getting to the final game. Nebraska likely feels it needs to continue to validate its ascension. But out of the friendly confines of Lincoln, the Huskers are vulnerable.Michigan? Well, Michigan is playing on house money. Win two and a third seed is likely guaranteed, lose game one and the ranking may drop to a four seed, which the bracket makers would not like, seeing as how Michigan is the league champ in what is probably one of the two toughest leagues in the country: the Big 12 being the other. The PAC whatever is much better this year and could make some big noise or pull another quick and illustrious flame out.
Michigan will play with a purpose, perhaps for fun, but the team awaits another NCAA run, no doubt.
Now what to think about the tank rule of thumb? In the past, many coaches were silently happy when a two or three seed team tanked out of a tournament early. The bad news was anxiety among the fan base, the reward was rest and preparation. The smaller conferences play tournaments early for two reasons: (1) exposure, and (2) rest.When the atmosphere is one and done, teams react differently. Some teams play uptight/ferociously with a reality of no margin of error. Other teams sleep walk with no purpose. The typical team that has already secured a bid, just plays and sees where the chips fall. Michigan will have to beat teams with more marbles in the game, and maybe that will be very difficult. Wisconsin probably blew a chance at a one seed. Michigan needs some good results to hit a two seed. Michigan State probably has to win the tournament to gain a three seed. Iowa is now on the downswing and may have to win a game, but should, should being the usable word. Iowa has won twenty games, but a loss to Northwestern would cause committee consternation, not a good medical condition.
So, this entertainment venue is fit for a long-term beer party. It would be a shock of shocks if the brackets fell as seeded. Some years, I enjoy the conference tournaments more so than the dance.

The current year SRTA Examination has been developed, administered, and reviewed in accordance with guidelines from the American Dental Association, the American Association of Dental Boards, the American Psychological Association the American Educational Research Association and the National Council on Measurement in Education. In addition, the examination undergoes annual stringent psychometric review and input from independent firm, Alpine Testing Solutions. The concerns of the students/candidates are addressed through input from former candidates and dental hygiene program faculty. Input from practicing dental hygienists is collected every five years through a nationwide Task Analysis Survey, which guides all decisions regarding content. The most recent Task Analysis Survey was conducted in 2011.
Clinical skills examinations administered by SRTA are conducted anonymously. All examination materials are identified by the candidate's SRTA number (assigned prior to the examination). The candidate's name or school information does not appear on any material. The examiners at all sites are experienced practitioners with diverse backgrounds. The examiners are calibrated and standardized prior to each examination and are evaluated to assure grading to established criteria.
All questions concerning examination procedures, content, applications, and examination dates should be sent to the SRTA corporate office. Email questions regarding the dental hygiene examination to email@example.com or to email@example.com for general questions. Be sure to include contact information.
Once an application has been processed for a particular site, all questions for both pre-examination and post-examination must be initiated by the candidate only. Due to confidentiality, the SRTA staff will not discuss candidate concerns and questions with a candidate's spouse, parent, faculty, family member, or friend.
PatientsThe candidate must procure his/her own patient and is responsible for the patient's arrival and return. SRTA is not responsible for providing patients used in examinations. Candidates must advise patients of the time required to participate in this examination. Patients should expect to be at the testing site for a minimum of four hoursCase presentation is a scored part of the examination and should be completed independently. Opinions of professionals who are not calibrated to SRTA standards cannot be relied upon to ensure that all criteria are met. Candidates unable to secure a patient will not be eligible for a refund or credit toward a future examination attempt. Appeals based on issues such as patients handling the paperwork or inability to secure a patient will not be considered.
Patient eligibility:
- Must be at least 18 years old
- Cannot be a dentist, dental hygienist, or a dental or dental hygiene student
- May be a dental assistant
- May not have a latex allergy
- May not have received injectable bisphosphonate therapy
- Cannot be a woman in either the first of the third trimester of pregnancy
- Oral herpetic lesions: Patients who present with an oral herpetic lesion will be evaluated by a SRTA dentist serving as the Clinic Floor Coordinator. This dentist does not serve as an examiner but is the liaison between the candidates and the examiners. That dentist will determine if the patient can be safely treated or if the patient will be dismissed as ineligible.
Both the candidate and patient must complete a Post Operative Care Agreement and an Incident Disclaimer form before any clinical procedure may commence. Two copies of the Post Operative Care Agreement, and one copy each of the Incident Disclaimer and the Patient Disclaimer, Consent, and Release forms are submitted during registration. The patient must also receive a copy of these forms.
InstrumentsThe instruments required for the examiner to evaluate case presentation, calculus detection, and calculus removal skills are:
- Yellow-banded periodontal probe with markings of only 1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10 mm (Williams probe) or 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (UNC probe.) The probe may be single ended or double ended. However, if providing a double ended probe, the unused end must be covered using autoclave tape. Candidates may use the brand or manufacturer of their choice. Bands must be yellow plus any other color, including bare metal.
- ODU or EXD 11/12 explorer for calculus detection and final evaluation of calculus removal. No other type of explorer will be accepted for examiner's use.
- A reflective front surface mouth mirror. May be one or two sided.
- All other instruments are the choice of the candidate.
- Syringes & supplies for anesthetic administration, if needed. The school will supply anesthetic cartridges for candidates. These will also be the choice of the candidate.
- Candidates must provide or have access to a blood pressure measuring device.
Candidate QualificationsFinal acceptance of candidates for the examination is contingent upon their being hygienists who are graduates of an American or Canadian dental hygiene college or program accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation or who will graduate from such an institution within twelve months of successful completion of the examination.
Application Process The online application was developed for the candidate's convenience. To apply online, go to http://www.srta.org/apply and click the Start New Application link, which links to a secure website that requires the candidate's contact and school information. Gathering all required items prior to starting the online application will save significant time. Applicants will need:

Valid certification is defined as a "hands-on" training program that provides an assessment of cognitive skills and skills acquired via classroom training. A minimum of Basic CPR skills is required. Classes provided by Internet instruction are not acceptable.
A copy of the candidate's diploma from a CODA-accredited dental
hygiene program must be provided in order for the profile to be

The total payment will include the facility fee (site specific; see Section II-C) as well as the examination fee. All payments are drawn immediately and must be paid in full. Failure to pay the application fee and facility fee at the time of application will forfeit the applicant's ability to sit for the examination. The Veterans Administration has approved the cost of the SRTA Dental Hygiene Examination for reimbursement. Contact the regional Veterans Affairs/Veterans Education Office to obtain the proper forms.
- The application profile is complete and accepted by "Validation." SRTA personnel will validate the profile only after all required profile information has been entered, uploaded, and received. Profiles without a photo or without CPR cards will not be validated. Please allow 2 to 3 days for validation. Only after a candidate's profile has been validated can he/she apply for an examination. With the exception of password changes, all profile changes will automatically mark the candidate temporarily invalid.
- Application for the examination: Once all profile information has been uploaded and , candidates may apply for examinations. Simply click on "Apply" at the top of the screen to begin the application process. Detailed instructions will be presented based on the available examinations.

RefundsApplication fees are not refundable and may not be applied to a future examination. Failure to appear for a scheduled examination will result in the loss of the candidate's fee unless the Agency has received written notification fifteen days prior to the application deadline - in such cases a 50% refund will be given. Refunds will not be given for a patient's failure to appear, non-acceptability of the case presented, or a candidate's inability to secure patients for the examination.
The Veterans Administration has approved the cost of the dental hygiene examination for reimbursement. Contact the regional Veterans Affairs/Veterans Education Office to obtain the proper forms.

STTG Market Recap October 24, 2014
Indexes finished off their best week of 2014 with another solid gain despite quite overbought conditions. The S&P 500 lurched forward 0.71% and the NASDAQ 0.69%. We are now up 5% since St Louis Fed President James Bullard said the Fed should consider delaying the end of quantitative easing on October 16th. Earnings continue to be the focus of the market, but we did have a new housing number today. A report from the Commerce Department had new-home sales rising 0.2% to a six-year high in September, while the pace of August sales was revised sharply lower.Continue reading

Dinner honors Wesley Webb after confirmation at Christ Church
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Bullard (Norma Jane Whitten) arrived December 16, to spend the holidays with her sister, Mrs. W.H. Hurdle Jr., and her family from Collierville, Tenn., as well as his family in Arkansas. Kyle Entzel and Rachel Hurdle will arrive Christmas Eve to spend Christmas Day.
What a barn burner Friday night in the Marshall Academy gym! The Patriots hosted the Knights of West Memphis, a district game. The varsity girls took charge second half, putting down the pedal and cinching the win. The varsity boys game was another story altogether. It started off with both teams answering when the other scored. The entire game was neck and neck, shot for shot. West Memphis pulled ahead by one with seconds left on the clock. A shot went up by a Patriot and rolled out, with "Johnny Basketball," as Gary Hickman fondly introduced him, rebounding. His shot went in at the buzzer, putting the Patriots up for the win. The game was as intense as any I have ever attended. The student section was on fire, as well as all of the parents in the stands. This promises to be a season-long rivalry and more than likely, post season as well!
With Christmas right around the corner, do not forget to shop locally for those last-minute gifts! Angie's Boutique on the square is always a safe bet for any type of apparel needs, as well as any other adorable pick-me-up for that special girl on your list. Booker Hardware carries an array of Case knives which would be a welcomed addition to any stocking! Connie's Southern Blooms, Jennie's Flowers and the Funky Monkey gift shop located in Tyson's Drug Company all have a variety of special things with a great price point for anyone on your list. Beat the crowds and horrible traffic congestion of the big city - shop locally!
Wesley Webb was confirmed Sunday at Christ Episcopal Church. His parents, Vicki and Walter Webb, hosted dinner afterwards in their home. Carole and Jeremy Glidewell of Oxford attended, as well as his mother, Betty Carole Wittjen.

Chalmers Institute receives $80,000 grant
On December 10, Preserve Marshall County and Holly Springs, Inc. (PMCHS) announced on their Facebook page that Chalmers Institute, located on 151 S.W. Boundary St., will be the recipient of an $80,000 grant from the 2013 Community Heritage Preservation grant program.
The grant was awarded by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) to further support the rehabilitation of the Chalmers Institute.
Chalmers was originally built in 1837. In its occupancy, it served as a literary institute, a university, and later, a residential building. It has been unoccupied since the 1980s, and has been under rehabilitation since 2009.
That's the gist of the story. When we delve deeper into the grant's requirements, the excitement expressed by Preserve Marshall County is more easily understood by, well, the rest of us. Grants are generally difficult to get. In this case, one can't even begin to apply for such a grant without first being an official "Mississippi Landmark," which involves another process of application and evaluation. Only nonprofits and municipalities can apply, and the property must be of significant historic value to the State of Mississippi.
Chalmers, being the first chartered university in Mississippi, carries its weight as a historic school. It officially became a state landmark in 2003 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
To further elaborate, a quick search on the MDAH's website shows that in Holly Springs alone we have a total of 22 state landmarks, as designated by MDAH. This includes historic homes, museums, and government buildings. In the state of Mississippi there are 973 official landmarks.
The Mississippi Department of Archives and History picked only 26 from across the state to receive a piece of the $2,980,194 lump sum associated with the Community Heritage Preservation program. Granted, and the pun is intended, not all 973 locations would have applied, but the competition still exists.
In fact, three of our town's state landmarks applied for the grant, and two received it. Rust College has been granted $400,000 for the rehabilitation of Carnegie Hall, located across campus at the Mississippi Industrial College campus site.
According to Preservation in Mississippi, a news blog dedicated to the nitty-gritty of preservation, the amount will go toward the structure's stabilization. If Rust follows the path of Chalmers' stabilization, sealing the structure from the elements with a new roof and windows is the next step.
And, like Chalmers, Carnegie probably won't be a restoration, per se. The idea behind rehabilitation, rather than a pure restoration, is that it's a more affordable way of turning these landmarks into functional spaces for community use.
As both a historic and a functional space, they anticipate a greater draw for tourists. With a greater tourist draw, it all translates to more revenue for our local businesses.
Chelius Carter, who is both the director of the Marshall County Historical Museum and the president of PMCHS, says that the Chalmers Institute has been of interest to the museum for two decades (hence this article, which celebrates Marshall County history, and the museum's interests).
Lois Swaney-Shipp, the long time director of the museum, researched funding to purchase Chalmers Institute in 1993. She was unable to secure enough support for the project at that time, but her work inspired the future efforts of Preserve Marshall County and Holly Springs, Inc.
Now, the question exists: what will Chalmers be when its finished? Carter says that PMCHS has an idea. "We look at this as being developed as a North Mississippi Heritage Center for Culture and Arts," he says. "It's a loose, feel-good idea, but it's a broad umbrella to pull things under. It could be a performing and visual arts venue."
Carter notes that visual artists looking for a working studio and gallery space may be interested in setting up shop. With spaces in Oxford and Memphis increasing in price, creatives are already looking for alternative spaces within driving distance of their network. Chalmers could become a co-op that provides just that.
"It all goes to advocating, and developing Holly Springs as a destination to bring people in," says Carter.
He cites The Wrecking Ball, the capital fundraising event for Chalmers, as a working example. While there is a local, core group of people in Marshall County who are annually supportive, the vast majority (about two-thirds) of financial supporters are coming from the Delta, West Tenn., and Oxford.
There's a still a long way to go before completion, but every little bit has helped. At this time, the Chalmers Institute has two grants in place, both through the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. The first was received in 2011 for the amount of $49,156, and is what PMCHS is working with now. The second is the $80,000 grant that was just announced.
PMCHS anticipates receiving the remaining $81,344.19 of the $90,000 in state funds that were originally allocated to the project in 2003 to the City of Holly Springs' former administration.
Other Preserve Marshall County and Holly Springs programs that have received funding assistance include the "Behind the Big House" program, which received four grants from 2011 to 2013. Two grants have been netted through PMCHS' partnership with North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic, Inc. in 2012 and 2013.
The rehabilitation of the historic Chalmers Institute building is expected to be complete in 2015.
At this time, PMCHS has rebuilt the west wall of Chalmers, "the most structurally compromised part" of the building. Carter says the 2013 grant will be used for roofing, and the rehabilitation of the floors, walls, and ceilings.
"Tourism and historic preservation are the greenest infrastructure one can have in their economic tool kit – you are putting existing built resources back into service," says Carter.
"We cannot thank enough the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and our solid local supporters for their continued support and assistance in this," says Carter. "They (MDAH) have been pretty much in our corner all along, and thus, have helped us financially now twice. They believe in this project, and the state believes in this project. People inside, and outside of Holly Springs believe in this project."
Be on the lookout for another "report from the museum," a bi-weekly article from the Marshall County Historical Museum, in "The South Reporter."

When I arrived home, that's when it hit me really hard. I went into my bedroom and got online to check my e-mail. Suddenly i saw a miniature version of myself walk out of my monitor. He sat down on my computer desk and started talking to me.We had a very deep conversation about life, love, and many other things. Then, he told me that I needed to go get some water. I went to the bathroom and filled a cup up with water and a bottle cap for my little friend. When I looked in the mirror, it wasn't me that I saw. It was a bloody mess. My face was mutilated beyond recognition. I started washing my face, but the more I washed, the bloodier it seemed to get. After about an hour, the blood just dissapeared and I was able to recognise myself again. I went back to the room, and my little friend was gone.

It was the best gift ever.
"On Mother's Day, one of the most precious memories I'll have always," said Sonja Burgin who proudly watched her son receive his degree today.
UB's class of 2010 donned caps and gown on Mother's Day. Recent graduate Rodney Pierce says the hard work was all worth it, "It's definitely worth it, especially when you make your mom happy and on Mother's Day what better gift could you give your mother?"
Each student has their own story to tell about getting to the stage.
"I was the first one to be able to have a chance to graduated so it's nice to do that for my family and for myself," said John Kapitany.
"It was a great present! I'm very proud of him," said Kapitany's mother Diane.
But for Daniel Bishop, being able to walk on his own across the stage today was the biggest victory of all.
"I knew one way or another they were going to have to drag me across the stage or push me in a wheelchair, but I just set a goal that I was going to walk across on my own. I'm just lucky to be able to achieve that goal," said Bishop.
It's a goal doctors never thought would happen. In March, Bishop suffered a life-threatening spinal injury wrestling during a competition for UB. Doctors told him it would take at lease six months before he'd even be able to stand on his own.
Daniel reflects on graduation today and beating the odds, "It's really exciting! I've been looking forward to coming back to Buffalo since I got out of rehab."
And while his days on the mat might be behind him, "Those days might be over," said Bishop.
He won't be too far.
"I'm going to come back and help with the wrestling team. I might not be in there wrestling live with the guys but going over technique and helping out as much as I can," promised Bishop.

///Motorsport Mondays: Your Awesome E39 ///M5 Wallpaper Is Here
///M5. It has 4 doors, a potent 394hp V8, rear-wheel drive, and most importantly, a manual gearbox. To me, these are the qualities that truly define the ///M5 as one of the ultimate sleeper cars.
In simpler terms, call it "The Wolf In Sheep's Clothing." Because at the end of the day, this car can flat out beat a C5 Corvette with 4 people inside. Impressive.
So why the E39 ///M5? Simple, it's one of the best cars ever to come out of the ///M Division other than the E46 ///M3 (which is brilliant and too perfect in its own regard). Think about it, a race inspired V8 with enough torque to pull half the world, enough horsepower to make a girl scream yet practical enough to use as an everyday driver.
The E39 ///M5 is simply brilliant. Besides high maintenance costs and the price of gas these days (a given), this car can do it all. If I had the money right now, I would kill to own one of these (Sterling Grey Metallic w/ a Caramel Extended Interior).
Go get one NOW. What are you waiting for?

Thank you for the article about "The Uncle Al Show" in the Sunday, April 8 Enquirer. What a wonderful memory for thousands of children in Cincinnati!

When I read about John Boehner singing (or commenting) that it was a "Zippity-Doo-Dah-Day" while walking to a congressional meeting about the debt, I couldn't help but think he learned that tune from watching the legendary Uncle Al children's television show as a child growing up in Cincinnati. For 35 years, Al Lewis entertained children […]

DIY Gift Ideas Using Scraps of Wrapping Paper
We have a friend who saves wrapping paper. She's not alone. When a gift is enrobed in something particularly beautiful, we find ourselves taking more time to open it, carefully slitting the tape with our fingernail and taking a moment to fold up the paper instead of crumpling it into a ball and shooting it freestyle into the nearest recycling bin. But then what? Here are some ideas for yourself or a friend.
IvyStyle33 uses scraps of paper to cover notebooks and diaries and decorate a ruler. She found a pencil wrapped in Chinese letters in a shop but you can do it yourself by gluing a slim scrap of paper around a round pencil. A dozen of these would cheer up any desk! But don't stop there. You can also:
- Frame a piece: a nice idea for a thank you gift for the friend who gave you something special wrapped in this particular paper.
- or use a piece to cover a frame (sponge it down with water so it molds tightly): add a photograph or child's drawing.
- cover a box, either one with a hinge or a cover: tuck a note promising a favour inside, or fill it with homemade goodies.
- or a matchbook: Tiny notes or gifts from the 99c store become festive in these.
- line the inside of a drawer: cut a few sheets and spray them with perfume or room spray, tie a ribbon around them for a bit of inexpensive indulgence to pretty up a friend's drawer.
- cover a small lampshade or two: a nice gift for a couple who's just moved into a new place.
- Or try some of these ideas or these.
Do you save wrapping paper? What do you do with it?

"our fingernail"? how does one share a fingernail?
yep, we save all wrapping paper and we re use it...over and over again until the scraps are tiny. And then those scraps go into our kids' craft box to be recycled into collage cards for birthdays, etc.
I use it to make envelopes for note cards. If the pieces are too small for that, I cut it into squares and use the back as note/scratch paper.
I know, "our fingernail" cracked me up. Now I think it's being done on purpose....
