Are Water Filters That Important?
In today`s society, people are always busy doing something yet there is little time to do it. Balancing between family, work and other things sometimes makes people overlook simple things that can make a huge difference in their lives. These days most people are health conscious, we try to exercise, eat right and drink a lot of water. Most people choose to buy bottled water that is expensive. Buying a bottle here, a bottle there adds up the cost real quick. Reports indicate that bottled water is not good for you; it contains impurities and even toxins from the plastic. There is an alternative to the expensive bottled water and that is using a water filter system.
When you take time and think about the options of a water filter system, you will see that it is not that complicated. You end up saving a lot of money compared to the amount you spend on bottled water. The thought of spending money to purchase a water filter makes some scared to the point of opting to use bottled water. In order to know if purchasing a water filter system is the way to go, you need to ask yourself questions like, how much money will i spend on a filtration unit? Which unit is best suited for my situation? Answering these questions will help determine if using filtered water is the way to go.
First, there are many water filter manufacturers, and it is important to buy from an established and reputable company. To avoid manufacturers with inferior products, you will need to do some little research. Research online or consult those with water filtering systems. Once you have found a good water company, decide what you want from your water filter. Do you want to filter the water in your house at the point of use, for example, sink, or filter all the water coming into your house? Regardless of the way you want your water filtered, a good water filter manufacturer will help you choose what is best for you.
The cost of the water-filtering unit will vary depending on the type of setup. Some people just want to filter their cooking and drinking water. They may choose to install an under the sink unit or a counter top unit. The cost of such a unit varies from around fifty to a hundred dollars. Others may choose to all the water entering the house. This will require a water filtering system installed at the point of entry. The cost of such a unit will vary depending on the size of the house, number of bathrooms and type of water, city or well. A water filter can affect your life in many positive ways. In addition to giving you better health, it will save you lots of money from purchasing water in a bottle.
A Quick Guide On Replacing Your Furnace Filter
Taking good care of your furnace is very important since you would want to make sure that it works well and gives out clean air. While most house owners would do the usual furnace maintenance stuff like cleaning and parts replacement, not all of them put any importance on replacing furnace filters.
Why Regularly Replacing Your Furnace Filter Is a Must
Professionals that work on heating and cooling systems recommend that you should change your furnace filter at least every month. Every time you use your furnace, its filter accumulates dust, pet fur, and other small particles. These particles will eventually clog your furnace's airflow which will force it to work harder. This will not only increase your energy expenses but may also require you to spend more on repair and parts replacement. The accumulated dirt will also affect the quality of air that your furnace gives out.
Changing Your Filters Earlier
Depending on its state, you may have to change your furnace filter before it becomes a month old. You need to change your filter if you notice dust around the room, or unpleasant odor.
How to Replace Your Furnace Filter
Assuming that you have own a model with a basic design, replacing the filter of your furnace is pretty much straight-forward. All you have to do is open the filter lid, pull out the dirty one and then insert a new filter. You might want to try it out right away to check if the filter is working. If you notice any air leak or uneven air distribution, take out the filter for any holes or factory damages. In case you see any damage on your newly bought filter, you can have it replaced or fixed for free by the manufacturer.
Hiring Professionals to Replace Furnace Filter
If your furnace has a unique and complicated design, you might want to leave its filter replacement to professionals. Heating and cooling system contractors can do maintenance work on your furnace including filter replacements to keep your furnace at its top shape. Another advantage to hiring professionals for the job is that you can have experts check your system for any unseen damage and have it repaired right away.
Looking For the Right Furnace Filter
There is more than one type of furnace filter you can choose from. A furnace filter can be made from fiberglass, polyester and electrostatic. The cheapest among the three is the fiberglass filter. The downside to this type of filter is its lack of significant effect on cleaning air. Polyester, on the other hand, can give you a better filtering quality. It's a little more expensive than fiberglass filter though. The best among the three would be the electrostatic filter. Aside from superior filtering capacity, it also has a long life. With the advantages that it provides, electrostatic filters are the most expensive among the three. You can learn more about furnace filter types at furnace filter.
Replacing the filter of your furnace is just as important as other maintenance work. As a general rule, make filter replacements after every month. And, to be on the safe-side, have your filter replaced by an expert. When choosing a filter, you can either get a fiberglass filter, a polyester filter or an electrostatic. You can learn more about these filters at furnace filter.

A popular term originally used in Britain in reference to the quasi-celebrity of the wives and girlfriends of famous soccer players, WAG is slowly making its way into the vernacular on our side of the pond.
I found an entertaining post about the WAG phenomenon that analyzes famous, though not particularly handsome footballers and their disproportionately hot girlfriends. Check it out.
If you've ever questioned the idea that many behavioral scientists have put forth that women are more attracted to men of status and power than they are to men who are broke, yet incredibly handsome, this will clear up any doubt that this is indeed true.

Rokeby Venus – Grab the brass ring
If a farm club system like in American baseball really exists in the music biz then the Escalate series of shows really does give unknown bands a chance to be seen and maybe even get some work. When the owner of the Tempo Hotel (a musician himself) saw Rokeby Venus the first time at one of those new band showcases he knew the band was on to something. He offered them a residency at the hotel on Thursday nights and the band grabbed the brass ring.
The trio mixes multi-part vocal harmonies, a solid guitar sound and polished song writing skills to create something new and fresh. They will be dropping a large number of original tracks in their set lists as well as covering some classics tracks. Having almost sold out their self-titled EP, gotten radio play from Nova FM, JJJ, ZZZ and are presently spending studio time on a full-length album, the boys in the band are working hard.
The band will be playing at the Tempo Hotel (formerly known as Dooley's Hotel) every Thursday night in June from 7PM and admission is absolutely free. See them now and you can say you saw them when.

Is there non-biblical evidence of a day of darkness at Christ's death?
by Matt Slick
In Luke 23:44-46 there is the record of darkness falling upon the land during Christ's crucifixion. "And it was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour, the sun being obscured; and the veil of the temple was torn in two. And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, 'Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit.' And having said this, He breathed His last." Is there any non-biblical evidence of the day of darkness mentioned at Christ's death? The answer is yes, there is.
"Circa AD 52, Thallus wrote a history of the Eastern Mediterranean world from the Trojan War to his own time. This work itself has been lost and only fragments of it exist in the citations of others. One such scholar who knew and spoke of it was Julius Africanus, who wrote about AD 221. In speaking of Jesus' crucifixion and the darkness that covered the land during this event, Africanus found a reference in the writings of Thallus that dealt with this cosmic report. Africanus asserts: 'On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun.'"1
One might wonder why other historians of the time did not also mention the darkness. First of all, the darkness was localized, so it would not be a widespread phenomena that other historians would naturally record. Second, other historians like Pliny, Tacitus, and Josephus generally were focusing on events that could be verified and were not based in the miraculous. The fact that Thallus mentions the darkness tells us that something did happen, and that there is extrabiblical citation for the event.

As concerns grow over competition to Indian gambling, many tribal nations are putting casino profits into other business ventures. Native American tribes say diversifying their business is the only way to make sure they have a future.
The Mille Lacs Band says it's putting profits from its casinos into a hotel venture in downtown St. Paul, Minn. The move is to diversify the tribe's business. Conrad Wilson
Nearly half of all Native American tribes across the country are benefiting from casinos and other gaming revenues. For most, it's their largest source of income. But growing threats to that revenue due to competition from non-Indian gaming are forcing many tribes to look for other investment opportunities.
In a dramatic example of that diversification, one group of Native Americans is buying nearly half the hotel rooms in Minnesota's capital.
A Big Business Shift
More than 18,000 slot machines create an orchestral blur of electronic entertainment at Grand Casino Mille Lacs. At the moment, it's not too crowded, allowing some patrons to play at two slot machines at the same time.
The casino is one of two owned by the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe in central Minnesota. Over the past two decades they've helped bring wealth and a return to self-sufficiency for this once impoverished Indian band. Now it's planning to grow its prosperity through a new business venture.
Last month, the Mille Lacs Band announced plans to purchase two hotels in downtown St. Paul, Minn. Once the deal is finalized, the band will become the single largest hotel operator in the city.
And this deal represents a big business shift for the band.
"We'd love to see the Corporate Commission become a billion-dollar company someday," says Joe Nayquonabe, commissioner of corporate affairs.
Nayquonabe, who heads the business side and turns profits over to the tribal government, says they'd like to own a hotel in every major U.S. market. By putting the casino's profits into a new hotel venture, he says, the band will become more economically secure.
"What Indian gaming has done for Indian tribes is it's helped us develop basic infrastructure for our tribal members," he says. "So when you look around out here at the community, we have clinics, we have a government center, we have schools, we have community centers. Now we're starting to think about how do we improve the quality of life even more."
Diversification Around The Country
Like the Mille Lacs Band in Minnesota, tribes around the country are looking to grow revenues.
In Nebraska, the Winnebago tribe owns more than two dozen businesses that operate in several states and overseas through a holding company called Ho-Chunk Inc. Companies include everything from construction firms to a marketing and advertising company. In 2011, Ho-Chunk reported revenue topping $250 million.
In Wisconsin, Kevin Allis chairs the Potawatomi Business Development Corp. — a $60 million tribal holding company started in 2003 with profits from the tribe's downtown Milwaukee casino.
He says they are "occasionally funded" from some of the profits that derive from the gaming facility.
"We're tasked with the obligation and responsibility to invest it in a wise manner to build the asset base of the tribe and also to insulate the tribe from any future decline in gaming dollars or something that would impact that industry," Allis says.
He says the company invests in businesses all over the county, and the new mantra is to "diversify."
"You can't rely on one thing," he says. "It's never a safe bet to put all of your eggs in one basket. It's just not smart."
Competition Threatens A Revenue Source
For many tribes, casinos are what have made just about any economic development possible, but it's a revenue source that's threatened.
"It's the growing presence of non-tribal gaming," says Anton Treuer, executive director of the American Indian Resource Center at Bemidji State University.
He cites Minnesota lawmakers, who last year authorized a form of electronic gambling to help pay for the new Vikings football stadium.
Gambling profits seem irresistible to politicians, and Treuer expects state governments to continue to seek them out to augment tax revenues.
"It becomes a little easier for both parties to kind of do an end-around on the tribal monopoly on gaming than it is to either make really hard cuts or raise taxes," Treuer says.
Savvy tribal leaders say diversification is about preparing for whatever competition heads their way so their economic future isn't something left to chance.

Meal Timing
Quinn Phillips
June 29, 2011
"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper," is a saying attributed to 20th-century American nutrition activist Adelle Davis. Many people, of course, do not follow this advice to eat a large breakfast, a medium-large lunch, and a small dinner. It is commonplace in the United States for dinner to be the largest meal of the day, and some people see no problem in this. Others, however — including many researchers and people with diabetes — question whether timing meals this way produces the best health effects. This has led to some debate over whether a large dinner, or a late dinner, could be harmful to your health.
A recent article at Fox News Latino, written by a registered dietitian, claims that eating dinner later in the evening has not been shown to cause weight gain or to produce ill health effects. The author notes that in many Latin countries, as well as in Europe, it is routine to eat dinner at 9 PM. The problem with late dinners in the United States, he claims, is that they are often the main source of food for the day due to hectic schedules and failure to prioritize meals. Thus, people are often starved at dinnertime and overeat. As a guideline to prevent this, he suggests that people should consume 70% of their day's calories before dinner, but they may eat the remaining 30% as late as they want, except within 90 minutes before bed.
A study published last year, however, somewhat contradicts the claim that meal timing makes no difference. Presented at Obesity 2010: The Obesity Society 28th Annual Scientific Meeting, the study found that eating a later dinner produced several metabolic effects. The participants were 10 healthy Japanese men with an average age of 40 and an average body-mass index (BMI) of 23. They were each monitored during two separate 23-hour periods in a respiratory chamber, allowing the body's energy expenditure to be measured exactly. During each period, participants ate lunch at 1 PM and breakfast the next day at 8 AM (meals were identical for all participants). In between, they ate dinner at 7 PM during one period, and at 10 PM during the other.
According to a Medscape News article on the study, during the 23-hour period including the early dinner, participants averaged an expenditure of 1,885 calories; during the period including the late dinner, they averaged 1,837 calories burned. This difference could not be traced to any difference in physical activity, such as more motion during sleep after an early dinner. Insulin and blood glucose levels, as well as levels of free fatty acids in the blood, were higher after the late dinner than after the early one. Over time, these metabolic changes could result in weight gain and possibly a higher risk of diabetes and related conditions.
What do you think — do you time your meals in a particular way for health reasons? Do you believe that a big breakfast is beneficial? What about a light dinner, or an early one? Has your diabetes team recommended how you should spread calories throughout the day? Leave a comment below!
I am an insulin-dependent diabetic (and have been for over 20 years). In my personal experience, if I eat a large breakfast, I am starving by lunchtime. If I eat a small breakfast, sometimes lunchtime comes around before I know it and I usually don't have much of an appetite. Seems if I start the day eating, I want to eat all day. On the other hand, if I start light, I seem to eat lighter throughout the day. I have also found that if I eat a lighter meal at dinner, my blood sugar readings the following morning are more "normal". If I eat a larger dinner, even if I go to bed with good readings, they may climb overnight...

Guide By Your Side
Hands & Voices without GBYS is like peanut butter without jelly….Brad without Angelina…Marlee Matlin without Jack Jason. Wondering what Guide By Your Side really is? Check out this amazing information straight from VCU themselves, or click here for more information
What It Is:
Guide By Your Side is a parent to parent initiative in Virginia that supports families with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Approximately 100 children are identified as deaf or hard of hearing each year through newborn screenings. Virginia's Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Program is identifying children with hearing loss at a median age of 3.8 months. However, only 70% of infants with permanent hearing loss are reported enrolled in early intervention services before six months. Through the Guide By Your Side program, a trained family guide will be matched with families of children diagnosed through the EHDI Program to provide emotional and informational support and to ensure families are aware of the supports and services offered by Virginia's early intervention system.
The Guide By Your Side program is committed to supporting families with children who are deaf or hard of hearing without a bias around communication modes or methodology. The program is supported with funding from the Virginia Department of Health.
How It Works:
The Department of Health makes phone calls to families that have children that have been recently identified with a hearing loss. If the parent agrees to be matched with another parent, a fax with the parent contact information is sent to the GBYS Coordinator located at the Family to Family Network of Virginia. The F2F Network is a part of the Center for Family Involvement housed at the Partnership for People with Disabilities located at Virginia Commonwealth University (www.centerforfamilyinvolvement.vcu.edu).
The parent can request either a phone call or an email from the GBYS Coordinator. The Coordinator makes the initial phone call and then a decision is made if there is a Family Guide to match this family or have the Coordinator match herself with the family. This usually depends on location, degree/type of hearing loss, and communication modality. For example, a family may have a child who has a mild hearing loss and lives in Charlottesville. A Family Guide needs to be located within a reasonable distance and have experience with mild hearing loss. There is currently a shortage of guides covering all regions of the state.
Depending on whether the family requested phone or email contact, the GBYS Coordinator will attempt to reach the family several times over a two week period. For instance, frequently the first phone call results in an unanswered response but a message is left with GBYS Coordinator contact information. If the initial phone call results in an unanswered response, a follow up phone call is done within two to three weeks. If the family requested only to be contacted via email – an email is sent with information and contact numbers for the GBYS Coordinator. If there is no response from the email, then another email will be sent in two weeks. If there is no email reply, a phone call will then be initiated to the family.

Pearl Izumi Thermal Conductive Gloves $29.95
Mmm, toasty.
When the summer is coming to an end, it's time to break out the cold weather attire. And, unless this is your first winter, you already know that no part of your kit is more important than your gloves. But, when a full-blown winter glove is just too much, the Pearl Izumi Thermal Conductive Gloves come into their own. Whether it's chilly mornings or overcast afternoons, these will keep your hands comfortable throughout the shoulder seasons.
These gloves employ Pearl Izumi's P.R.O. fabric, but with an added twist. Pearl included Minerale™ as an additive, which was chosen to improve the heat retention of the gloves. So, your digits stay warmer for longer. As with other iterations of the P.R.O. fabric, it's a polyester/spandex blend, which pairs controlled stretch with excellent breathability. Basically, this material transports moisture away from your hands to the surface of the fabric. From there, it quickly evaporates. The upshot is that your hands stay dry, which is essential for keeping them warm when the mercury is low.
Pearl built these gloves with a contoured cut that's built specifically for a hand's position while cycling. In other words, they're pre-curved to accommodate the shape that your hand makes while grabbing the handlebars. And the result is that bunching is kept to a minimum, replaced instead with a snug, close-to-skin fit. Additionally, you'll find reflective accents, which boost your visibility to motorists when the light gets low. Also, Clarino™ synthetic leather has been employed in high-wear areas of the palm in order to provide longevity.
The Pearl Izumi Thermal Conductive Men's Gloves are available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the colors Black and Screaming Yellow.

Great gloves for the price
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Helped up pretty good on a 2 hour, 35 degree road ride. Definitely some magic going on in these gloves but still looking for something a little warmer.
Just went for 40 degree ride an my hands were warm, great gloves

Fantastic Gloves
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Typically I don't wear gloves, I prefer to ride without 'em. However, when the temp drops down here in S. Texas, these gloves are my go-to. I've ridden in the 30s and they've been great. Fingers stay warm, and I can activate the "Record" button on Strava!

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I originally bought these for the night laps at last year's 25 hours of Frog Hollow race. They were perfect for that, and I am loving them this year for colder fall days, and cold fall night rights. I haven't tracked exact temperatures, but I would estimate mid thirties to upper 40s.
On a few of my latest colder rides, I found that my hands stayed a perfect temperature while my toes were turning white (for the record I do have beat up "skier toes"). Bad news, I know. I need to find the equivalent foot protection to these glvoes!
They are soft on the inside, and still very dexterous. If I wear them out, I would definitely buy another pair. And as a bonus, I think they can also be quite useful for winter driving, or other high aerobic winter activities when it's sunny (i.e. as a liner gloves for ski touring, used on their own for the hike up).
Re Wikstrom
night rides
Would these be warmer than the PRO softshell lite? I recently purchased the PRO ones, and the softshell only covers the tops of the fingers, and not between them. When I'm riding hard, it's ok because I generate enough body heat. However, the morning commute is colder as the pace is slower and have to stop frequently.
I ended up getting these for free through a running club discount when I replaced my shoes. Definitely warmer than the softshell lite, with a very similar fit. They remind me of a power stretch glove with a hard face, which is exactly what I needed for 30-50s.
The bright yellow is great for a commuter where visibility is key. For 30$, these are a steal.

I wear this glove all fall and winter long cycling in the SF bay area. It would need a glove liner for below freezing but it covers a very wide range of temps above freezing. Highly windproof.
I LOVE the fact that there is no gel padding on these gloves.

Versa Fit Studio's two locations blend old-fashioned support from personal trainers with newfangled technology, including the Vacu Fit, which, according to an ABC News report, exists nowhere else in the country. Classes and workouts incorporate the good vibrations of the Power Plate machine that quickens circulation, and Vacu Fit elliptical machines enclose lower halves in a heated vacuum chamber to trim away excess inches. Group exercise sessions bow to restrictive schedules with a range of classes that, unlike getting a tan from an Easy-Bake Oven, last only 30–60 minutes. In addition to high-tech courses, guests can drop in on traditional sessions such as core-toning Pilates, yoga, and boot camp, or they can burn calories in spin and dance aerobics that amp up heart health.
Tilt Studio's tenure as a family fun center dates back to 1972, a time when the menacing Pac-Man ghosts were still very much alive. Today, the 27,000 square-foot facility greets gamers with scores of arcade and ticket-redemption games plus spacious private-event rooms for corporate gatherings and birthday parties. Visitors receive a game card that works like a debit card, replacing cumbersome quarters that could otherwise be used to enter speed-drying competitions at the laundromat. In the arcade, up to four players can experience high-octane Formula One action, careening down a simulated Indy Motor Speedway, or land strikes on four lanes of virtual bowling, with backdrops depicting Rome, Japan, and Yosemite National Park.
Wade Cohen is on a mission. Not content to merely fill mugs and bellies, he and his team at Coffee Works Too have crafted a community-oriented space designed to nurture creativity, advocacy, and friendship. An events calendar packed with open mic nights, live music, and karaoke helps bring these values to life, but it's Wade's personality that really drives the caf?'s positive energy. He's a dad and a Renaissance man, toastmaster, a music lover and karaoke fan who's constantly adding new hobbies to his repertoire. Wade's open-mindedness, and the priority he places on growth and evolution in personal life, lends to Thursday's Spiritual Grounds night, which features noted authors and professionals to enlighten the atmosphere. Of course, he doesn't forget the shop's commitment to serving delicious coffee, hand-crafted soups, salads, and gluten-free dishes, or the element of surprise. Coffee Works Too has seen legendary recording artists pop in to take the stage, which has caused some to say "you never know who will be walking through the door."
Curves is a gym for women, but its fitness regimens aren't known for their femininity—they're known more for their efficacy. Since 1992, the fitness franchise has built its name on 30-minute workouts that burn hundreds of calories per session. At the same time, the workout's blend of strength training, cardio, and stretching tones every major muscle group and builds endurance, keeping the body from tiring easily mid-exercise.
Still, the gym's Cleveland Clinic-certified trainers know that one efficient workout may not be enough in some cases. As a result, they complement Curves' classic exercise style including circuit training with additional options, such as Latin dance-inspired Zumba classes. A comprehensive weight loss program, meanwhile, takes a multifaceted approach to weight loss, pairing workouts with meal plans and one-on-one coaching.
There's room for all types of workouts in Nexxt Level Sports' 22,000-square-foot, climate-controlled facility. Basketball players can hone their technique on two NBA-length hardwood courts, and baseball players can perfect their swings in 70-foot batting cages instead of going to an orchard and waiting for regulation-sized apples to fall. In group-training classes, meanwhile, gym patrons can focus on strength or build endurance with varied circuit workouts, including strength and resistance training. For a more private workout, personal trainers also lead one-on-one sessions, tailoring their exercises to the clients' fitness goals.
When young ballplayers need to diagnose weaknesses in their game, they make an appointment with The Hit Doctor. They leave with a better understanding of the game, and skills they can fall back on for the entirety of their career. Since 1989, The Hit Doctor has boosted baseball and softball players to the next level with camps, private lessons, team workouts, and video analysis. All of those offerings operate under the direction of the academy's staff of coaches, each handpicked for his or her knowledge of the game and ability to communicate it through words instead of through complicated strings of nose taps and cap tugs.

Operation Accountability
CIT has worked hard to provide the evidence. Now we need you to help us force accountability.
There is no sense in pushing for the federal government to investigate if their own official 9/11 explanation is false when we already have proof that this is the case, and especially when they have already refused to do this anyway. We feel the best strategy is for informed and concerned citizens to join together to put pressure on local, state, and even some federal authorities to seek indictments of those who are already directly implicated, and who are a direct link to the planners higher up the chain of command. This will undoubtedly be a challenging battle given the current political climate, so we must also simultaneously put pressure on the media to cover this information, thereby raising public awareness and helping us reach the "critical mass" of public pressure needed to compel the necessary action on the part of the authorities.
We must never forget that the evidence proves this was a successful
psychological operation, and it has had an iron grip on the mainstream
consciousness of America and the rest of the world since 9/11.
Nevertheless, more and more people are questioning the event every day,
and there are bound to be intellectually honest individuals who are both
able to understand the clear implications of this evidence and also able to
use their position in the media or government to do something about it. However, they aren't going to know it exists
unless we make sure it gets in their hands.

On January 19, Legislative Bill 807 was heard by the Judiciary Committee. Introduced by state Senator Scott Lautenbaugh (18), this legislation would amend and clarify the current concealed carry permit disqualifications and help expedite the application process.
During this hearing, an NRA-backed amendment was proposed to LB 807. This proposed amendment would provide concrete language, not open for interpretation, further clarifying that only individuals who have been criminally convicted of a drug- or firearm-related crime would be disqualified from receiving a Nebraska concealed carry permit.
Please continue to check www.NRAILA.org for further updates on LB 807.

Quakers fall to Marietta in home opener
Pioneers win, 8-1
March 26, 2012
Connor LaVelle posted a win at No. 2 singles against Marietta.
Wilmington College dropped its spring home opener to Marietta by an 8-1 score in Ohio Athletic Conference action Monday afternoon.
The Quakers are now 0-3 in the OAC, 0-6 overall. Marietta moves to 1-0 in the conference, 6-1 for the season.
"It's a learning process, and we are learning. We are getting better every day," Wilmington head coach Terry Rupert said.
Wilmington built early leads in two of the three doubles matches as play got under way, but Marietta rallied to sweep play on the doubles courts.
At No. 1 doubles, Justin Arehart (Wilmington) and Josh Kincaid (Loveland/Goshen) dropped an 8-5 decision to Teddy Daub and Dave Koscielny.
At the No. 2 position, Connor LaVelle (Athens) and Jon Asher (Loveland/Goshen) lost to Eric Sturgis and Karl Grant, 8-3.
The No. 3 combination of Killian Cummings (Cincinnati/Colerain) and Cullen Corcoran (Wilmington/Clinton-Massie) was edged, 9-7, by Tyler Pullekines and Ryan Gontero.
Wilmington's lone win was provided by LaVelle at No. 2 singles. The junior defeated Koscielny, 6-3, 7-6 (7-2).
"That match is exactly what our whole team needs to do. We need to hang in, play tough and believe in ourselves," Rupert said.
The Quakers will hit the OAC highway for a 1 p.m. match at Heidelberg Saturday.

Indian Girl attacked with Hot water due to un-friend his boyfriend.Muzaffarpur, Jan 3: Little did this Class 8 girl know that deleting a boy from her friend list on Facebook could turn fatal. On Wednesday, a 12th grade boy threw boiling water on the face of this girl just because she deleted him from her friend list. The boy, who used to take tuitions from the girl's father, threw boiling water on her face while she was at home. She received serious burn ijuries on the right side of her face.
According to the police, the girl's father used to give tuitions to the boy. During this period, both of them got to know each other and became friends. However the girl, sensed something fishy and distanced herself from the boy by deleting him from her friend list. Unable to take the rejection, the boy snuck into the girl's house on Wednesday and poured boiling water on her face. She was immediately rushed to the hospital where she is currently being treated. On the other hand, the boy has been missing ever since the incident. The police raided his house in Patepur, but he could not be traced.

Something that causes unconsciousness might be better, as you will be provided with a weapon that will capture the soul of the Archbishop. Now if only my poison expert PC were around...
Knock out both Father Taro and the Archbishop, kill the Archbishop while he's helpless, a distraction allows the killer/s to escape.
How's that sound?
EDIT: Oil of Taggit could work. Initial damage 0, secondary Unconsciousness. It's a 1-minute delay, but that might actually work in our favor if we play our cards right.
Now, what the hell is a taggit?
EDIT 2: Anything that causes non-Con damage would work too, since we only need him to be helpless, right?
EDIT 3: Terinav Root and Malyss Root Paste both deal Dex damage and sound like they're made from plants.

#R2BC - Christmas 2012
We have had a really lovely Christmas, spending time just the seven of us in our own little bubble. We welcomed visitors, we thought of those who are no longer with us and we enjoyed each others company, we ate, we baked, we laughed, the kids bickered, we were exhausted, we watched movies and ate chocolate for breakfast and lounged around in our pyjamas. It was wonderful.
I don't expect anything for Christmas these days. With so many children to buy for and being a grown up it doesn't really figure in to my expectations of Christmas, I'm happiest seeing others open and enjoy their gifts and knowing that I have made them happy, but I was surprised with some really lovely presents and I am very grateful indeed. The Mister bought me a Kobo eReader which I adore and I have been browsing titles to download and enjoy (if you have any recommendations let me know) particularly as the children are hogging all the available television sets in the house with their various DVDs and games. I also received a Bosch stand mixer for my cooking & baking from my parents, in red to match my kitchen! I got some nice smellies and make up too, vouchers and other wee bits & bobs. I honestly expected nothing, so that makes it all doubly lovely and I am thrilled to bits.
The children were spoiled rotten and received some fantastic & thoughtful presents from all of our loved ones, they are very happy little campers indeed.
Tonight we've got my parents coming round for dinner and we're having Boxing Day take two as the Mister went to watch Man Utd at Old Trafford & A was out with her boyfriend's family, so we're continuing with the festive spirit for as long as possible.
I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas with those who mean the most to you, and that it was happy and memorable (for all the right reasons!).

The 6656 Stock car was introduced in 1950 using materials readily available within Lionel which resulted in a less expensive, non-operating version of the infamous 3656 operating stock car. It's a nice looking freight car and is a good representation of the real stock cars of the 1950's.
Standard features of the 6656 Stock Car include: yellow painted body with black lettering, staple-end trucks with operating couplers, metal corner steps on the frame, die-cast sliding doors, metal door guides plus a single brakewheel.
The 6656 incurred the following changes:
Additional Detail, Photos & Box Information
The 6656 box car was manufactured for four years. During that time the most notable change was the exterior color. Both light yellow and dark yellow bodies are available. The light yellow is believed to be the earliest production while dark yellow are later production. In either case the yellow paint has a tendency to easily chip. Collector quality cars with nice paint and few chips are getting increasingly more difficult to locate.
There is an early version with an 'ARMOUR' sticker on the doors. This is a rare variation.

NEW YORK–Sleepy's has formed a partnership with First Book, a non-profit organization that provides books to children in need, and author Laura Numeroff to introduce Sleepy's Bedtime Stories, a program that encourages families to read together.
The program is urging parents to spend at least 20 minutes each night to read with their children. Parents can make a non-monetary pledge to commit to this reading time at any one of Sleepy's 700 locations in the Northeast, or post their pledge online at sleepysbedtimestories.com. In addition, parents can log onto the Web site to enter for a chance to win lunch with Numeroff, author of a number of children's books.
Also, Sleepy's will host a series of in-store book readings by Numeroff, at which she will sign free copies of her latest book, "The Jellybeans and the Big Book Bonanza."

A British member of parliament will introduce a bill to ban 'gay cure' therapists this week.
Geraint Davies, a Labour MP for Swansea West, has called for nationwide regulation of mental health therapists – ensuring any gay teen or adult is not faced with quack treatment.
'Anyone can set themselves up as a counsellor or psychotherapist without training or experience with no recourse for the patient if something goes wrong,' he said.
'Millions of people, often with mental health problems who are therefore vulnerable and at risk, are being given therapy in an unregulated industry with no uniform code of conduct or ethics.
'I call on the Government to regulate counsellors and psychotherapists by bringing them into the jurisdiction of the Health and Care Professions Council.'
If accepted, the bill would mean to work as a psychotherapist or a counsellor, you must meet the necessary standards of qualifications and experience.
The bill has cross-party support with the early day motion being signed by 53 MPs.
Signees include Green Party's Caroline Lucas, former Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy, as well as a few surprising names like Conservative MP David Davies.
During the fight for same-sex marriage to be legalized in England and Wales, he said 'parents don't want gay children' and that he could not be bigoted as he once punched a gay boxer.
The bill comes after gay journalist Patrick Strudwick revealed how 'gay cure' therapists were still a major issue in the UK, and set the wheels in motion for the woman who attempted to 'treat' him to be struck off by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
During the Labour Government, there were plans to regulate mental health therapists. These plans were shelved by the Conservative-led coalition when they took office in 2010.
Simply banning such therapy will not end the practice. It will be necessary to prosecute the therapists, and possibly parents who insist their children undergo such therapy.
Any therapist who would engage in therapy proven to be ineffective, at best, does not have the patients best interests in mind.
I'm not really sure it's surprising that people like David Davies (and David Tredinnick, and Jim Dobbin, and the DUP guys) have signed this EDM - it's possible to support increased regulation of therapists and counsellors while still being a homophobe (or even supporting conversion therapy). Though David Tredinnick is the guy who thinks the NHS shouldn't carry out operations during a full moon, claimed for astrology software on his Parliamentary expenses, and supports homeopathy and radionics, so I'm a little surprised about him.

Structurally Sound
It's a dreaded scenario: revitalizing an outdoor facility only to have Mother Nature blow through town and damage the updated structure. Although damage may not be apparent on the surface, many parks and recreation agencies have been through the rigors of inspecting structures manually to ensure they withstood hurricane or tornado winds and damage from debris. Thanks to the latest technology, 3-D laser scanning may make the process less arduous and save time and more important–money. Practical Yet Purposeful In … Continue reading
The "Mane" Attraction
It's fairly difficult to miss seeing a lion, but it appears that several of these beasts were overlooked for quite some time before they were re-purposed and thrown into a Boston park to play with children. Did I mention they are made of granite? A water spray feature built by Harvard University now contains large, granite lion heads—items discarded and long forgotten until they were discovered during soil excavation work in Boston's Allston neighborhood by university employees. Officials retrieved the … Continue reading

The city of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department has always tried to be a good neighbor.

Built in 1906, prior to Arizona's statehood, the park is located in the city's WestUniversity neighborhood near the University of Arizona. Although residents wanted to pursue a Neighborhood Reinvestment Grant, they quickly realized there was not enough funding for street improvements. With a desire to have … Continue reading

CORPUS CHRISTI - Detectives are looking for a man who inappropriately touched a 10-year-old girl's behind at a convenience store.
Video and images from the Stripes at Baldwin and Airport on October 18th shows a Hispanic male, wearing a black shirt.

The suspect then walked out the store.
If you recognize him, call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS.
