Canadian pro-life hero Linda Gibbons is celebrating her 60th birthday today in a Milton, Ontario jailhouse. The pro-life grandmother is no stranger to the prison scene, as she has in the past spent over 5 years in jail for peacefully protesting outside abortion mills in Ontario, reports Tim Waggoner, LifeSiteNews.com.
Gibbons was arrested on July 31, only three days after having been released from her previous prison term. Gibbons was charged with violating the terms of a 1994 injunction which prohibits pro-life activity within 20 meters of the doors of an abortion mill.
"Happy Birthday Linda, and thank you for your witness. Our prayers are with you," said Campaign Life Coalition National President Jim Hughes. "It's a heck of a place to spend your birthday."
"We hope there will be no necessity for her to do so in the near future," he continued. "We're going to do our best to change the political landscape here in Canada."

Madelynn Hollis Morgan arrived on March 8th
at 8:14 PM. I started the HypnoBirthing class in early
November when I was about 24 weeks pregnant. From that
time on, I was practicing what I learned in the class. I
would sit on my exercise (birth) ball every evening
while watching Friends reruns. I also frequently
listened to the birth affirmations and "Rainbow
Relaxation" cd. I will admit that I did not listen to
the cd every day and there were even a few weeks where I
maybe only listened to it once or twice. I did,
however, keep my favorite affirmation ("My body was made
to birth. It does it easily and well.") posted on my
bathroom mirror so that I could see it and say it out
loud every day. In addition, I bought Steve Halpern's
Effortless Relaxation cd and I would often
fall asleep at night listening to it and visualizing my
"perfect" birth.
had an OB appointment on March 8th. I was
almost 41 weeks pregnant and was a bit anxious. I
wasn't worried or fearful of birth, and I knew that my
providers would start talking interventions if things
didn't happen soon. My appointment went well. But as I
suspected, my providers mentioned that if I did not have
the baby by Monday, I would need to return to the office
for an NST and a BPP. If I did not have her by the
following Friday, we would need to consider induction.
Like I said, I was not fearful of birth at all, but was
afraid of being induced. I knew that it often led to
other interventions that I really wanted to avoid. I
asked my provider to check my cervix to see if anything
was happening. I had been having occasional surges but
nothing regular or even really noticeable. To my
excitement, I was 4 cm opened and about 80% thinned! I
agreed to let my provider sweep my membranes. I thought
that that was a much more minor intervention than others
that could come in the very near future. When she swept
my membranes, she felt a surge and I had some bleeding
and was hopeful that I would go into labor within the
next few days.
continued to have cramping throughout the day, but
nothing major or real regular………until about 3:30 PM. I
was in a meeting when, what I call a "real surge",
came. I wouldn't really call it painful, just
uncomfortable, and a strong sense of pressure. (Keep in
mind that when we did the fear release exercise in
HypnoBirthing class, I said that I wanted my labor
sensations/surges to feel like pressure and for my labor
to last 6 hours or less.) I decided to wait out the
meeting, through which I had a couple more of these
"real surges". I didn't want to alarm my colleagues and
I wasn't in pain, so I thought that waiting it out was
best. I returned to my office and sat at my desk at a
little after 4:00 PM. I continued to have "real surges",
and left at about 4:30 PM. During my commute to home I
had several more surges 3 or 4 minutes apart. The
pressure was getting more and more intense and I
occasionally had to breathe through it. I thought about
pulling over a time or two and even calling my husband
to meet me and pick me up (thinking it probably wasn't
wise for me to drive while breathing through surges). I
think I still was kind of in denial that this was all
happening. I thought I would go home, get in my Jacuzzi
tub, and it would go away. I called both my husband and
my mom to let them know that I was probably in labor and
that I was heading home. I made it home (I don't really
remember some of the drive.) and my husband met me. I
told him how far apart my surges were coming and that I
wanted to go in and get in the tub. I called my provider
and she listened as I experienced a few surges. Since I
was managing them so well, she encouraged me to relax
and eat a bite and call her in about an hour (or sooner
if need be). I got my Rainbow Relaxation cd and
got into the tub. That is when things really started
moving along. Within minutes of my being in the tub, I
started having an interesting surge pattern, every
minute and a half, I would have a longer surge that
started off gradually, peaked, and then went away, but
then about 30 seconds after that, I would have a shorter
surge that started off very intense, at peak, and then
went away as quickly as it came on. Time distortion
started kicking in at that point, so I am not real sure
how long I stayed in the tub. My husband called my
provider back to let her know about this surge pattern.
Because I had not eaten, nor had I had much to drink,
she advised me to get out of the tub, eat a bite and
drink some water, and see what happened. I got out of
the tub and put on some clothes, stopping to kind of
sway back on forth and breathe during surges. I
attempted to eat but that surge pattern continued on and
the short, intense surges were getting more and more
intense (still felt like pressure, but more intense). My
husband noticed a change in me and he made the decision
for us to go to the hospital. He called my provider and
my mom to let them know to meet us at the hospital.

It was all going so perfectly. Two-run home runs from Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins. A pair of solo homers from Domonic Brown. Seven terrific innings from Cole Hamels. And then ... uh oh.
Hamels began feeling tightness in his back in the eighth inning, forcing the star lefty out of a game the Phillies went on to win 9-1 against the Marlins. The injury didn't appear too major, though there's really no such thing as a minor injury when it comes to an athlete's back, particularly an athlete who now is tied for the NL lead with nine victories.
Power alley: The Phillies' offense put together its first five-homer game since last summer. For Brown, it was the first multi-homer game of his young career. Howard's blast was his seventh in 24 career at-bats against Marlins starter Chris Volstad. Utley, who also doubled, is now 6-for-11 with two walks, three doubles, two homers, and six RBIs in his last three games. The nine runs were the Phils' most since beating the Reds 10-4 on May 26.
Next up: The Phillies will carry a four-game winning streak into a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday. Florida righty Elih Villanueva will make his major league debut in the opener against Kyle Kendrick. Roy Halladay starts the nightcap for the Phils against Anibal Sanchez.

Sneak Preview: New shoes by Natalie Portman and Diane Von Furstenberg
We reported back in December that Natalie Portman was venturing into shoe design, with her own range of vegan footwear for Te Casan, and our sister site, Shiny Style, have some images of the product of that collaboration.
The shoes shown above are all part of the new animal-friendly range. They're hand-crafted, and limited edition, but are actually fairly reasonably priced, with prices starting from around $200. They're be available for pre-order on January 15th, and you can expect delivery in February.
Diane Von Furstenberg, meanwhile, is also about to launch a shoe line this February, which will contain a fair bit of gold and pewter, if the images above are anything to go by. The designer says:
"I wanted to create power shoes for the woman on-the-go and on her feet," von Furstenberg told Fashion Week Daily. "My shoes are not just pretty accessories; they are functional and serve a purpose. Women on-the-go need power, comfort, and fashion."

LONDON – Capt. Wales is coming home to be Prince Harry once again.
The Ministry of Defense revealed Monday that the 28-year-old prince is returning from a 20-week deployment in Afghanistan, where he served as an Apache helicopter pilot with the Army Air Corps. It did not immediately divulge his exact whereabouts.
In interviews conducted in Afghanistan, the third in line to the British throne described feeling boredom, frustration and satisfaction during a tour that saw him fire at Taliban fighters on missions in support of ground troops.
When asked whether he had killed from the cockpit, he said: "Yea, so lots of people have."
He also spoke of his struggle to balance his job as an army officer with his royal role – and his relief at the chance to be "one of the guys."
"My father's always trying to remind me about who I am and stuff like that," said Harry, the younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. "But it's very easy to forget about who I am when I am in the army. Everyone's wearing the same uniform and doing the same kind of thing."
Stationed at Camp Bastion, a sprawling British base in the southern Afghan desert, the prince – known as Capt. Wales in the military – flew scores of missions as a co-pilot gunner, sometimes firing rockets and missiles at Taliban fighters.
"Take a life to save a life. That's what we revolve around, I suppose," he said. "If there's people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we'll take them out of the game."
Harry's second tour in Afghanistan went more smoothly than the first, in 2007-2008, which was cut short after 10 weeks when a magazine and websites disclosed details of his whereabouts. British media had agreed to a news blackout on security grounds.
This time, the media were allowed limited access to the prince in return for not reporting operational details.
A member of the air corps' 662 Squadron, the prince was part of a two-man crew whose duties ranged from supporting ground troops in firefights with the Taliban to accompanying British Chinook and U.S. Black Hawk helicopters as they evacuated wounded soldiers.
Harry shared a room with another pilot in a basic accommodation block made from shipping containers and passed the time between callouts playing video games and watching movies with his fellow officers. His security detail accompanied him on base but not when flying.
"It's as normal as it's going to get," Harry said of the arrangement. "I'm one of the guys. I don't get treated any differently."
Harry said he would have preferred to have been deployed on the ground with his old regiment, the Household Cavalry, rather than spending his tour of duty at Camp Bastion, a fortified mini-city replete with shops, gyms and a Pizza Hut restaurant.
"Yes, OK, we're supposedly safe, but anything can go wrong with this thing, but at the end of the day we're out there to provide cover and protection for the guys on the ground," he said.

We report the high capacity and rate capability of mesoporous CO3O4 nanowire (NW) arrays as anodes in Li ion batteries. At a current of 1C, the NW arrays maintain a capacity of 700 mAh/g after 20 discharge/charge cycles. When the current is increased to 50C, 50% of the capacity can be retained. With their ease of large area synthesis and superior electrochemical properties, these CO3O4 NW arrays will be interesting for practical Li ion batteries.

Housing market
The Bank of England may find monetary policy such as raising interest rates "the only game in town" to combat financial stability risks such as the housing market, the deputy governor has warned.
Lloyds, the UK's biggest lender, has put an immediate cap on income multiples on mortgages over £500,000 to primarily target the London market in a bid to combat the capital's swiftly rising property price inflation.
Prominent economists have added to calls for the government to pull back from the mortgage guarantee element of its Help to Buy initiative, arguing it is no longer needed.
Other Housing market articles
UK house prices rose by 0.6% in February, a 9.4% increase on the same month in 2013, according to Nationwide Building Society.
It is "not unreasonable" for investors to anticipate a 2% base rate as early as 2016, but increasing rates is still considered a last resort to tame the housing market, according to Bank of England policymaker David Miles.
As the April deadline for implementation of the Mortgage Market Review (MMR) looms large, Rebecca Prestage, head of policy at The Consulting Consortium, takes a look at some last minute assessments to consider
How much do you remember from the last seven days in financial services?
Mutuals and building societies have doubled their net mortgage lending over the last year, figures from the Building Societies Association (BSA) show.
There is a 77% chance UK houses are over-valued, an economist has warned, as the threat of a bubble looms.
The mortgage market is experiencing "strong upwards momentum" and gross lending may top £200bn for the first time in seven years in 2015, but there is little evidence of a housing boom developing, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML).
The mortgage aspect of the Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS) is to be discontinued in light of improved market conditions.
The Welsh government has announced it will launch its £170m Help to Buy equity loan scheme in January.
The UK economy is heading in the right direction but there are a "number of years to go" before a full-blown recovery can be called, Bank of England (BoE) chief economist Spencer Dale has said.
The government is undermining its own Help to Buy scheme by imposing a large tax burden on first-time buyers, the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) has argued.
UK house prices are now 5.8% higher than this time a year ago, according to Nationwide, but are still 7% off their 2007 peak.
The Bank of England (BoE) could increase interest rates a "fair amount" without hurting homeowners taking advantage of the government's Help to Buy scheme, according to one of its policymakers.
It's our weekly heads-up on the articles your clients may have read in the national newspapers over the weekend...
Britain's economic recovery is now firmly entrenched thanks to a spending spree by consumers - and fears of a housing bubble are just 'hysteria', say leading economic forecasters.
Mortgage advisers are reporting a rise in Help to Buy enquiries, despite the fact they are unable to places cases yet.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is to consult the industry on the significance of small print in mortgage contracts in the wake of decisions by banks to increase their tracker rates.

Great Beef Wellington?
I used to go to One if by Land for great beef wellington, but havent been in years. Anyone know if it is still good there? Or somewhere else that does it well?
re: CEB280
Did you have the beef wellington?
Most Hounds would never describe the food at OIBL as "awesome" though they might agree the ambiance is lovely. All the more unfortunate that the food is not better.
Beef Wellington is one of those dishes that was once ubiquitous but does not show up much on menus these days. You should try Menupages' Find-a-Food search function, which will enable you to discover any NYC restaurants, other than OIBL, that are currently serving it.
I had already done a menupages food search. From the few restaurants serving Wellington, it looks like Dylan Prime might be the best. Anyway -- I will give it a shot (because, like most hounds, OIBL is not my choice for a food destination), and post a review later.
LCB Brasserie Rachou has it sometimes - a special I think. Call and check. It was a competent version. Although, come to think of it, I bet they called it boeuf en croute.
Tell you what - somewhat small portion (it's a "small plate"), but Stanton Social does a great job with Wellington. Along with most everything else.
try the beefwellington at Bobby Vans. I think it is on the restaurant's regular menu (and is offered as a frequent special in the Grill Room).
Definitely pricey at $48, but a real treat.

My wife and I are currently in the middle of adopting! I keep on looking for adoption books to collect and share with our future wee ones, but all of the adoption kid's books I find always have a mommy and daddy on them. Where oh where can I find the unicorns that are two-mom adoption books?
This is Offbeat Families's archive of books posts.
The Good Mother Myth: redefining motherhood to fit reality
Her kids have always slept through the night, and even if they don't, she still manages to look like she has had eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. There is always a well-balanced, home-cooked meal on her dinner table. She either happily stays at home or holds down a fulfilling job while still finding time to join the PTA, run the school's book sale, and makes it to every single soccer game. She is usually white, middle to upper class, heterosexual, and neither too young nor too old. But above all… she's a myth. And it's this myth that divides women and pits mothers against each other while fueling the flames of the manufactured "mommy wars."
What Makes a Baby and 5 other books that explain the different ways families are made
Based on how many of you have told us about it, we know a bunch of you are big fans of What Makes a Baby, one of the newer kids books out that explain conception, gestation, and birth to the 3 to 8-year-old crowd. While this book is a good one, there are a whole bevy of books out there that explain the different ways families are formed and exist.
Let's talk about what you're reading right now + my favorite recent grown-up reads
Depending on where you live it's likely your kids are either already back in school or headed back soon — possibly leaving you with a bit of free time that would usually be spent organizing the house or shepherding everyone from one evening summer event to another. I know we tried having an Offbeat Families Book Club last year to varied degrees of success, so we don't have to go that route — but I'd love to know what you guys are reading nowadays!
Here's a list of all the stuff pregnancy books probably won't tell you
Recently several newly pregnant friends have asked me if I had any advice for them, which has given me occasion to think over all the things that have kept my partner and me going throughout my pregnancy and our first nine months of parenting. While pregnant, I read as many pregnancy and parenting books as I could get my hands on, and learned a lot, both about what I wanted to do and what I didn't want to do.
Where can I find kids' books that feature children with disabilities?
My two-and-a-half-year-old was born prematurely and currently has a few different disabilities and setbacks that we're working with. I'm always on the lookout for children's books that prominently and positively feature children with disabilities. Unfortunately, it seems like I can ONLY find them at hospitals — and we can't take those home with us.
On refusing to let your kids take over your life
I want my daughter to see that I am happy with my life now. I want her to understand on a fundamental level that she deserves happiness, too. And, I want her to be able to handle life's obstacles as a confident and capable individual… Preferably one who doesn't grow up to live in my basement.

"What is important when you apply at EMLYON, regardless of the graduate programme, is to clearly demonstrate that you have thought through what you would like to achieve by enrolling in the programme. Have you clearly identified what the gaps are between your current competencies and those you will need for the job you aim to get after graduating? How will the programme help you reach your career goals? If you show that you have documented yourself, and that your application is part of your plan to take charge of your career, it will certainly work to your advantage. Be honest and open about who you are and in which direction you want to take your career. It's OK not to have the perfect profile or background, what matters most are your motivation, your expectations and your willingness to work hard to achieve your goals."
Philippe Marillat des Mercières, Professor in Finance, Head of Specialised Masters
Here's how Paul Hampton (USA) showed this in his application.
"In terms of my expectations, the EMM programme will give me certain advantages over non-EMM holders. In addition to hiring opportunities and better pay, an EMM will grant me more networking opportunities and better skills. I want to specialise in international marketing, and Aston Business School has one of the best programs for an international transition. On one hand I realise an EMM is no silver bullet and will not automatically grant me an executive or management position, but I also believe it will grant me access to a better career and a higher quality of life.
Once I graduate, I plan on pursuing an internationally marketing job in Europe at mid-management level for 4-5 years after my European Master in Management. A solid foundation in international business is necessary with the 21st century globalisation. With the experience gained to market on a larger scale successfully, then I will be better positioned to transition into my long term goal of applying green technologies to promote sustainable living."

Kids compete in annual Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship in Bay Shore
R.J. Gonzalez took his time as he stood on the free throw line in the gymnasium at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church in Bay Shore.
After each shot, the 12-year-old Mastic Beach boy had a routine: dribble, look up at the basket and dribble again. Every attempt was slow and steady as Gonzalez tried to defend his title in the 12th annual Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship.
Gonzalez won in his age group last year but said he is always trying to improve.

"It's a fun thing to do and I just do my best," he said, after making 10 out of 15 baskets.
About 20 children between 10 and 14 participated in the tournament Sunday. The winners in each age group took home a trophy and will move on to the district championship round, which will be held at Central Islip High School. Winners at that tournament will compete for the chance to move on to the county and then statewide free throw tournaments.
Jack McCullough, the financial secretary for the Knights of Columbus in Bay Shore who organized the event, said the tournament is a good way to get kids involved in sports at an early age.
"If you get them started in sports at an early age it might prevent problems down the line," he said. "Once people do start coming here they come back every year until this kid turns 14. They start here and they play basketball their whole lives."
Each participant took 15 free throw attempts, and the most successful shooters were Kirsten Farley and Dylan Heege in the 10-year-old category; Natalia Gonzalez, Darius Mullen and Nicholas Ouwerkerk in the 11-year-old category; R.J. Gonzalez was the 12-year-old boys' winner and Caleigh DeCaprio was the 14-year-old girls' winner.
Danny Pardo, a member of the Knights of Columbus, said the tournament brings children in the community together.
"I think doing this embraces what our goal is for the community," said Pardo, who helped tally the free-throw attempts. "We're all about community service."
Christine Farley, of Bay Shore, brought her niece Suzanne Roberts, 11, of Mastic Beach, to participate in the tournament.
"I love basketball and I love trying new things like this," Roberts said.

Fontaine chosen as new CNAS president
Richard Fontaine has been chosen as the new president of the Center for a New American Security, the think tank announced today.
"I'm honored that the board of directors has selected me as the next president of CNAS," Fontaine told The Cable. "I am excited by the opportunity to help lead this organization at a time when its mission - to develop strong, pragmatic and principled national security and defense policies - has scarcely been more important."
Fontaine replaces John Nagl, who announced in January that his will leave the CNAS presidency to become the first Minerva Research Fellow at the U.S. Naval Academy. CNAS was founded in 2007 by Kurt Campbell, now assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, and Michèle Flournoy, the recently departed under secretary of defense for policy. Nate Fick is the CEO and former Navy Secretary Richard Danzig is chairman of the board.
Before joining CNAS, Fontaine was national security advisor to Sen. John McCain and before that he served as associate director for Near Eastern affairs on the National Security Council and in the office of former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
"I first came to know Richard when we had opposing roles as national security advisors -- him for Senator McCain and me for then-Senator Obama. I greatly respected him then and greatly admire him now. CNAS will be much enhanced by his service as its president," Danzig said in a press release.
"Richard was a great asset to our team at State and will be a superb leader at CNAS," said Armitage. "You will be hearing plenty from him in the future."

Written by Christy Hinko Friday, 07 September 2012 00:00Since the tragedies of September 11, 2001, the nation has begun to observe the anniversary as Patriot Day, and also as a day of service. In addition to flying the American Flag in celebration of freedom, it is important to observe a moment of silence to honor the thousands of lives lost on that day, right here on American soil.
Americans should also practice volunteerism, signifying unity, strength and service. Some websites, like serve.gov and 911day.org, offer pledge forms, visuals of service projects and ideas for volunteer opportunities.

Maxine's Housekeeping Tips – Part #7
SUBMITTED BY: Maxine in Idaho
Monday's Tip: Utility closets & misc. storage ideas
In an earlier post, I mentioned that I caught the vision of how an organized home could look when I saw a drawing of a utility closet in Sandra Felton's book, The Messies Manual. The picture shows a small closet with shelves, with boxes and containers of various uniform sizes stacked on them. A hairdryer hangs from a hook on the wall. On the other side, the iron is in a hanger on the wall, just above the mop and broom, also hanging. A flashlight hangs nearby. Organizers on the back of the door contain cleaning products. Ooooooooooooooh!
Fifteen years later, I'm still not organized, but I'm doing a lot better. And although I have really good storage in this house (and in the last one–I basically designed them both), I've never had a utility closet per se. My storage is spread out between shelves in the utility room (in the basement in this house), a shelf in the linen closet, and an actual broom closet that magically appeared in my kitchen when the house was built. I know that most houses have far less storage, but that it's spread around like mine. So here's what I do, and maybe some of it will work for you:
My broom closet was probably intended as a coat closet. I took out the rod and use the shelf above to store cleaning products and Little Green Clean Machine. I have put hooks on the 1x4s that support the shelf in order to hang the following items: mops & brooms, dustpan, extra bags and belt for vacuum, tools for vac in plastic bag, flyswatter, yardstick, dog leash. The upright vacuum and a shop vac are on the floor in 5 houses, this is the first time I have ever had a place for the vacuum cleaner, let alone two!). Because there isn't room on the shelf, I have a small basket on the floor for rags.
All of the home management gurus advocate hanging up everything that you can, and it has helped me a lot. In other houses, I have had the broom and mops on the wall in the garage, just outside the door to the kitchen. In one apartment we lived in, the management installed hooks on the siding outside the kitchen door–it didn't look bad because it backed up to a tall fence, and stayed dry because it was under the eaves. A friend's utility room is a pass-through between the family room and garage. When we dejunked her house, we bought a Rubbermaid thing with several hooks and space for the dustpan, and hung it on the wall in a narrow space next to the dryer.
Because of the location of my utility room, I only use it for laundry-related and sewing items (my sewing machine is there). In my last house, the utility room was on the main floor, and I used the shelves for most of the things I have now in my broom closet (no place for the vacuum cleaner, though–that went in the hall closet).
My linen closet isn't huge, but I've cleared off a shelf for shoe polish, extra lightbulbs, etc. We kept this stuff in the utility room of our other house. I also have my giftwrap in here. No room for extra TP, though, which we store in one of the bathrooms (no room in the other).
Here are some miscellaneous storage ideas:
CONTAINERS–It does help to use containers that are uniform in size. You can get more on the shelf and it looks neater. When I started organizing 15 years ago, I bought baskets, but have gradually discarded them because they don't stack. I like plastic shoeboxes, because you can stack them 2 or 3 deep and they're only $1 on sale. (I prefer Tucker or Sterilite–Rubbermaid lids are hard to remove). I'm too cheap to buy big plastic storage boxes. I like apple/pear OR orange/lemon/grapefruit boxes (one or the other–they are different sizes) with the lids cut down to about 2 inches deep. (Tomato boxes come this way, but they are smaller; copy paper boxes have the same sort of lids, but they are harder to come by and less sturdy). I use a felt marker to label the general contents of each box. I use boxes for miscellaneous storage in the garage, for extra blankets and bedding in the linen closet, and many other things.
GIFTWRAP–I used to use a liquor box with compartments to store gift wrap upright in the slots. I no longer have floor space to do this. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Rubbermaid gift wrap & craft box, which I would slide under the bed except that I have room in the linen closet for it. I keep ribbons, tape, etc., in a hospital wash basin on top.
BATTERIES–Before you ever start dejunking your house, stop by Radio Shack and buy a battery tester (mine cost $3, although it was a few years ago). You are going to find batteries everywhere! (more than you ever dreamed!!!). You will be surprised how many of them are still good, since sometimes only one battery will burn out but we usually replace them all. Test your batteries as you find them, throw away the duds, and store the batteries and the tester in a plastic shoebox. After I first de-junked my house, I didn't have to buy batteries for YEARS.
IRONING BOARD–Gotta find a place for this, we've just been keeping it up in my son's bedroom, but he has moved back home. I suppose we will try to hang it on the back of a door. In my other house, I had a built-in ironing center, which I really recommend–especially if you DON'T iron much. What a pleasure to just close the door on it. Don't ask me why I didn't design one in here–must have been $$$$! It's nice if you can keep the iron and supplies in the same place.
TOWEL RODS–This isn't a closet issue, but make sure you have enough. (One for each person who uses the bathroom–you may have to be creative in where you put them). It keeps your bathroom much neater and sure cuts down on laundry. I also have rods screwed to the inside of the cabinet doors under the sink in the kitchen (for dishtowels) and in my bathroom (for cleaning rags, etc.).
RUBBERMAID TURNTABLES–I have generally found these to be space wasters because they are round. The exception was in the corner kitchen cabinet of my house in Oregon. The door only opened on one side and it was practically unusable until I bought one of the really big turntables. Then I put roasting pans and other things I didn't often use on it.
SPICES–The pros recommend that you alphabetize them, and this really does help you find what you want. Unfortunately, I have all different brands in all different containers, and have never found a spice rack to accommodate them. (I'm too cheap to start over). I keep mine in a drawer. They are out of the way, but hard to find. If you are just starting out, buy all of your spices in the same size container and alphabetize them on a spice rack away from the heat of the stove.
ADDITIONAL STORAGE AREA–Mine is in the garage. A couple of months ago I mentioned how I got it: after several years of waiting for my husband to
build shelves, I bought 1×16 shelving and cinderblocks and put up my own boards-and-brick shelves. They work great!! They were in my basement in our other house, and I moved them to our garage here. I also hang up everything I can in the garage. Unfortunately, our garage is usually a mess anyway–but IT COULD BE WORSE! I'm going to try to get my son to help me tackle it today.
CLOSET and CUPBOARD DOORS–Close 'em! I've noticed that those of us who have a problem with housekeeping seem to have a really hard time doing this–and yet we have the most to hide! When did you visit the home of a really good housekeeper and see cupboard doors left ajar? This is an area I'm really working on.
A lot of this stuff may seem really basic to you, but most of it was a revelation to me! I hope it helps you de-junk and maintain. Happy homemaking!

The commercial pilot was practicing touch-and-go landings in the tail wheel equipped airplane. He reported that the wind direction changed to a quartering tailwind after the airplane touched down. The pilot stated that he then lost directional control of the airplane and did not believe he had sufficient engine power to recover. During the accident sequence the left main landing gear failed and the airplane ground looped, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing and horizontal stabilizer. The pilot stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions prior to the accident.

Hunters, Just get a Sporebat, most LFRs will be missing that buff.
So far the hardest thing I've found about patch 5 is untraining my heroic strike/cleave reflex while tanking, but keeping it going for fury.
The main problem i'm having is where i'm going to put all thease extra buttton, i used to have a lot of stance depednant macros, so what Revenge in def stance was CS in battle stance, etc now its never worth me chaning stance i'm kinda having to find more key binds

Hunters, Just get a Sporebat, most LFRs will be missing that buff.
I had the same issue teng. I ended up making a hidden bar and putting all my mouse keybinds on there just to make room on my actual bar for the extras. I ended up binding shield slam / devastate to mouse up/down with a mod condition to also pummel. Then most of my mouse buttons are delegated to heroic leap/rocket jump/intervene, spell reflect, victory rush, heroic strike / cleave macro, hamstring. Cleaned up my main bar for most of the extra stuff.
HS/Cleave IS my mousewheel, it's literally saved me from carpal tunnel. I've had a double bar + extra mouse buttons setup for quite a while, and I have about enough keybinds for everything, although I'm not sure where to put the various banners when 87 beckons.
1-6, z, x, r, f, c, v and shift combinations are good for 24 buttons, plus mousewheel up/down, mousewheel click (heroic leap) and shift+mousewheel click (gnome racial), and once I replace my fallen Imperator (Naga buttons just aren't comfortable for me) I get two thumb buttons plus shift combinations back.
I mouseover heal on a disc priest alt, so I found keeping q and e as strafe and and d keyboard turn was helpful since I found it useful to change my character's facing (albeit a bit more slowly) without involving my mouse. I also find the keyboard turn rate + strafe perfect for turning a boss without moving it.
For out of combat stuff or camera adjustments I use alt-shift-old keybind.
The patch killed the charge+rend macro, but I have charge + hamstring just in case. I also had to rewrite most of my macros to eliminate the stance logic, and write a battle/berserker toggle for dps.
Anyways, I found it useful to keep hs/cleave mousewheel bound since it's still a rage dump in fury, and the random nature of procs for protection meant that I was still using it independent of my normal rotation, one of the reasons I really liked it there in the first place. z has always been my short cooldown button, so it's shield block in prot and colossus smash for dps. In any case, no matter where I had my binds, I would have had to retrain my muscle memory since I was especially used to cleaving with abandon during aoe.
Anyways where I was getting is with the mouse binds is it works out to almost three full bars worth of binds to have all of the abilities readily available, plus the standard command rebinds.

Product Detail
True handmade
chairs are different than chairs that are factory made and purported to be "handcrafted". Be sure to examine the difference before making a purchase. For instance, our traditional hand-shaped spindles look fragile, but are stronger than bulky production spindles. This strength results from shaping the spindles with a drawknife and spokeshave following the unbroken grain of the wood. This allows the hand-shaped spindles to be pulled straight or into a graceful curve without breaking. Factory spindles must be heavier to achieve the strength needed. These factory spindles are cut straight from a plank and sometimes cross the wood's natural grain. Windsor
The following photographs illustrate details that allow a fragile looking chair to be very strong. After all, this is the way they were traditionally crafted 250 years ago.
Sackback or Bowback Chair
Here the arm rest of our Sackback or Bowback Chair shows a traditional handhold design.
Windsor Rocking Chair

Junkyard Dog
Real Name
Sylvester Ritter
Date of Birth
December 13, 1952
Place of Birth
In a tag team grudge match at Wrestlemania 2, Terry Funk and Dory Funk Jr, accompanied by Jimmy Hart, were able to defeat Tito Santana and the Junkyard Dog.
April 7, 1986
The very first championship match at Wrestlemania 1 occurred when Greg Valentine, who was managed by Jimmy Hart, defeated the WWE Intercontinental Championship against the Junkyard Dog. The popular star won via count out, which meant that Valentine was allowed to keep his belt.
March 31, 1985
WWE conducted a poll, asking fans if they felt that Big E Langston would some day be a world heavyweight champion. Thus far, 70% of the voters feel that the current Intercontinental Champion will move up to the main event scene eventually.
January 10, 2014
After announcing the big return, WWE conducted a poll on their website to see who fans wanted Batista to work against when he gets back into professional wrestling. Randy Orton barely beat out Brock Lesnar by garnering a third of the votes.
December 27, 2013
WWE conducted a poll on their website and 97 percent of the fans voted that Chris Jericho was better than Triple H.
November 2, 2013
"It's hard if you're quantifying raw numbers to say anyone was more popular at their zenith than Stone Cold Steve Austin. No one sold more merchandise, tickets or pay per view than Steve. The thing with Junkyard Dog was that he was the first African American number one baby face in a major territory. For black fans especially, he was such a groundbreaking force. There was a unique emotional relationship that JYD had with his audience. He gave a whole race their guy." - Jim Ross describes Junkyard Dog and his place in wrestling history
May 9, 2014
For more than three decades, the record at the Superdome for a wrestling event was set by a show featuring Michael Hayes and Junkyard Dog in the main event. The two of them drew in 28,000 fans, which is a mark that WWE should easily blow away with Wrestlemania 30. As many already know, Hayes works backstage for the company and will be at the pay per view.
April 6, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
In a rematch at Money in the Bank 2014, Alexander Rusev was successfully able to conquer Big E Langston again with his submission move. It was the typical match that you would expect from the two. There was a botched spot where Langston speared Rusev to the outside of the ring. However, the two of them more than made up for that by doing a great closing sequence.
June 29, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Since WWE needed a filler segment at Money in the Bank 2014 and wanted to showcase Adam Rose a little bit, he was given a quick match against Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Paul Revere. Match was not really all that noteworthy, and Rose got the win after hitting the Party Foul finishing move. This was a segment that belongs more on Monday Night Raw than a pay per view.
June 29, 2014
Naomi Knight was given a crack at the WWE Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2014, but it was Paige that walked away as the reigning titleholder after a DDT and a pin. The match was designed to further the eventual split between Naomi and Cameron, who was at ringside and taking glee whenever her tag team partner was in peril against Paige.
June 29, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
In a rather surprising move, WWE had the Shield win convincingly against Evolution. Batista and Randy Orton were the first two performers to be eliminated from the main event match at Payback 2014, but both provided interference for Triple H after their eliminations. After taking a brutal beating, Roman Reigns picked up the win for his team. Many expected Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to be eliminated during the match, but WWE opted to give them a dominant ending.
June 2, 2014
In a match designed to be the buffer between the two main event features at Payback 2014, Paige successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox via submission. Afterwards, Alicia continued her story line of going crazy whenever things do not go well for her. The audience reacted more to the post match antics than the actual match.
June 2, 2014
In a segment filled with plenty of interference from Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Rowan and Erick Harper, John Cena was able to defeat Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match at Payback 2014 after Cena put Wyatt through a big black box and covered him with an even heavier box. Rumors have it that WWE will be continuing this feud and something could trigger that on Monday Night Raw this week.
June 2, 2014
At Payback 2014, Wade Barrett successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam after picking up the pin fall victory, thanks to the Bull Hammer. The performers placed some doubt in that finish when it appeared that Barrett had injured his arm while smashing into the corner post after RVD ducked away from the move outside the ring.
June 1, 2014
In a glorified squash match at Payback 2014, Alexander Rusev defeated Big E Langston via submission to continue his push up the ladder in WWE. He was able to slap on the camel clutch after delivering a big kick to Langston. Afterwards, he held the submission move on for a short period of time before Lana instructs him to let go. Rusev should be placed into a new feud this week.
June 1, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Despite being in the airplane spin for quite a few rotations, Sheamus was able to capture the victory over Antonio Cesaro, who had Paul Heyman with him at ringside, at Payback 2014 by surprising his opponent with a small package. With the win, Sheamus retains the United States Heavyweight Championship and will more than likely be placed in another feud by WWE tomorrow.
June 1, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.
May 4, 2014
Since WWE needed a Divas Championship match at Extreme Rules 2014, Paige was given the victory over Tamina Snuka after delivering her submission finisher. The segment was short and quick, providing only a couple of spots outside the ring. It basically served as a pay per view buffer between the steel cage match and the world title match.
May 4, 2014
After suffering a loss at the last pay per view, Bray Wyatt needed a victory over John Cena at Extreme Rules 2014, and he got just that. Wyatt received a heavy dose of interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, but Cena still managed to overcome those odds. As Cena was walking out of the cage, a kid showed up and began singing, which provided enough distraction for Wyatt to hit his Sister Abigail finisher and walk out for the victory.
May 4, 2014
In the most anticipated match at Extreme Rules 2014, the Shield defeated Evolution. Roman Reigns picked up the pin fall victory over Batista after a Superman punch and a spear. Triple H, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose fought through the audience before Rollins took out all four of them by hurling himself from the elevated stands.
May 4, 2014
The first title change at Extreme Rules 2014 took place when Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Barrett picked up the pin fall victory after delivering a running Bull Hammer finisher on Langston. A highlight of the pay per view was Langston spearing Barrett from the ring to the floor.

The Nebraska Public Power District is projecting a revenue shortfall of up to $30 million this year.
The state's largest utility is taking a double hit.
A record-cool July reduced the use of air conditioners, and the tough economy has been holding down the price of the excess energy NPPD is trying to sell.
The NPPD board is discussing ways to offset revenue losses. Cuts in salaries, consultant services, materials and deferred capital improvement projects are possible.
The utility is considering at a 6.5 percent rate increase.
That's not to make up for the revenue shortfall but to pay for a new transmission line from Columbus to Lincoln and the updating of the Nebraska City power plant

A fair coin is tossed n times. What is the probability that no two consecutive heads appear?
Let f(n) be the number of sequences of heads and tails, of length n, in which two consecutive heads do not appear.
The total number of possible sequences from n coin tosses is 2n.
So the probability that no two consecutive heads occur in n coin tosses is f(n) / 2n.
By enumeration, f(1) = 2, since we have {H, T}, and f(2) = 3, from {HT, TH, TT}.
We then derive a recurrence relation for f(n), as follows.
A sequence of n > 2 coin tosses has no consecutive heads if, and only if:
These two possibilities are mutually exclusive, so we have f(n) = f(n−1) + f(n−2).
This is simply the Fibonacci sequence, shifted forward by two terms.
The Fibonacci sequence is defined by the recurrence equation F1 = 1, F2 = 1, Fk = Fk−1 + Fk−2, for k > 2.
So F3 = 2 and F4 = 3, and therefore f(n) = Fn+2.
A closed form formula for the Fibonacci sequence is Fn = (Phin − phin) /,
where Phi = (1 + )/2 and phi = (1 − )/2 are the roots of the quadratic equation x2 − x − 1 = 0.
Therefore the probability that no two consecutive heads appear in n tosses of a coin is Fn+2 / 2n = (Phin+2 − phin+2) / 2n·.
