Group Fighting Against Rx Abuse
LOGAN -- Parents listen up! One in every four high school students is going to experiment with prescription pain pills this year. It's a decision that could be deadly. But one Ohio group is working to stop prescription drug abuse among young people. The group is called Hope Blooms. They go around to high schools, talking to students about the dangers of abusing prescription drugs.
The reason Hope Blooms is even in existence will break your heart.
"When she took one and mixed it with alcohol it was fatal," Melissa O'Hara-Brown said of her daughter.
It's an emotional moment as Melissa recalls the worst day of her life, when she found out her daughter, 21-year-old Hannah Brown, died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in December 2010. She got the call at work that Hannah was at the hospital.
"I said you need to tell me why Hannah is at your ER. And she said, she passed away. I remember screaming and crying and falling to the ground. Then I went to the ER and she had died because she mixed alcohol with Oxycodone and fell asleep," Melissa said.
Hannah was a fun-loving college student with straight A's. She had never been in trouble before. Like many young people, Hannah didn't realize just how dangerous a single pain pill can be.
"They truly believe that it's safe, safer. They don't believe they're using drugs. The doctor gave it to them, how bad can it be?" she said.
While Melissa can't bring Hannah back, she does want to prevent others from making the same mistake. So her family started Hope Blooms in Hannah's memory.
"We don't want anyone to suffer the loss we suffered because they didn't have the education," Melissa said.
Melissa says every time she talks to a class about Hannah's story, they're always shocked to learn more people die from accidental prescription drug overdoses than car accidents.
"We're saving children because they have education now," Melissa said.
Right now the Hope Blooms educational program is only in Southeast Ohio, but they're looking to expand to be in every high school across the state.

After a raid on Amboy's funeral parlor, a front for prostitution, and a hit on Amboy's bookmaking bank, Starsky and Hutch are shocked when those they arrested are released even before their reports are completed.

Pentek DGD-2501 Sediment Filter Video
Welcome to the Pentek DGD-2501 Sediment Filter Video Page. The
Pentek DGD-2501
water filter utilizes gradient density layers that improve cartridge performance. The Pentek DGD-2501 filter cartridge has a 25 micron pre-filter layer and a 1 micron extra-fine sediment layer. The
water filters reduce the need for multiple housing step-down systems. The Pentek DGD-2501 filter reduces sand, extra-fine dirt, silt, sediment, and rust & scale particles. The Pentek DGD2501 water filters are 100% polypropylene which is resistant to chemicals, corrosion, and bacteria. The Pentek DGD-2501 will not impart taste, odor, or color to the filtered liquid and has three times the dirt-holding capacity of similar sized sediment water filter cartridges.
Pentek DGD-2501 Sediment Filter Video Transcript
Hey everyone; Aquaman here with
Water Wisdom sponsored by WaterFilters.NET
. Todays product is the
Pentek DGD-2501
. Now this is an industry standard size cartridge approximately 10 inches long by 4.5 inches in diameter. Now, the DGD stands for Dual Gradient Density. It means it starts out at a more porous density on the outside and becomes more dense as you approach the center. So the sediment is trapped throughout the depth of this filter. Now this one starts out at 25 microns on the outside and works its way down to 1 micron in the center. Thats an extremely tight filter. Its going to capture a number of particulate sizes; anything larger than a speck of milled flour, which measures 25 microns in size, will be captured by something like this. It has a cousin thats very commonly used; the
is just slightly more porous. Some of the advantages of polypropylene; the primary one being that it is bacteriostatic. Microorganisms cannot live and grow on this media, so this is appropriate to use on water sources that are untreated. So, if youre filtering well water, if youre drawing water from a lake or a pond or if youre collecting rain water into a cistern, you can filter that water with a filter like this because the microorganisms that will inevitably be in that untreated water cannot live and grow on this media. Its very similar to an older style filter called a poly string wound which looks like the same color, but it looks like a spool of string. Its the exact same media; its just manufactured in a different way. This, the polypropylene is shot out of a gun and spooled into a cartridge like cotton candy, whereas the other is woven into a string and then the string is spooled onto a cartridge. So this is the DGD-2501 from Pentek; perfect for sediment filtration in any untreated water source. Im your host Aquaman; thanks for watching!
See detailed specs. and purchase the DGD-2501 here.

"This is the best! I have been looking for the perfect bolognese sauce and that it simmers all day in the crockpot is an added bonus! The prep smelled wonderful as did my home all day. My husband took one bite and declared it a keeper. Had enough after dinner to freeze four containers. No need to change up anything, it was absolutely delicious!"

California Dreamland Visionary
Yvon Chouinard – Founder, Patagonia
If you're rock climber or mountaineer, his name is the stuff of legends. If you do anything active outdoors, you probably know of him too—or his company, Patagonia, one of the premier labels for quality outerwear. He's Yvon Chouinard—a celebrated mountaineer and also one of the most successful and influential individuals in the outdoor industry today.
Chouinard got his start as a California teenager, climbing and rappelling down the sandstone cliffs of Stoney Point northeast of Los Angeles, at Tahquitz Canyon near Palm Springs, and eventually at the ultimate climbing destination, Yosemite. At the time, pitons were used once to secure ropes, then left behind. Chouinard decided to make his own reusable pitons out of steel. They were a hit with other climbers, and soon, Chouinard was making pitons in winter, climbing and surfing in summer. In 1965, he went into partnership with aeronautical engineer and fellow climber Tom Frost, redesigning and improving almost every climbing tool. In the early '70s, Chouinard launched the clothing line Patagonia, which turned outerwear from chinos and sweats to vibrantly colored garments that were more than functional—they looked good too.
But Chouinard has done more than revolutionize climbing; he has revolutionized business ethics too. Around 1970, he became aware that steel pitons were causing significant damage to Yosemite's celebrated pitches, leading to promotion of climbing devices that left rocks unaltered. This green ethic is at the core of all of Chouinard's work. Since 1985, Patagonia has awarded well over $40 million in cash and in-kind donations to domestic and international grassroots environmental groups.

Some smaller changes might include using low-fat or skim milk instead of whole milk, buying leaner cuts of beef like round, or investigating alternatives to beef such as ground turkey, soy products, or even vegetarianism. To increase your fruit and vegetable intake, add strawberries or a banana to your cereal, put some spinach in your sandwiches, or consider replacing side dishes like French fries with a salad. Choose low-fat alternatives to spreads like cream cheese, or have the restaurant "hold the mayo." If your diet is already balanced and nutritious as is, you may simply want to reduce the size of your food portions, particularly if you're still eating as much as when you were in college. Despite what your mother may have taught you about eating everything on your plate, your body often knows its needs, so stop eating when you're full, even if there's still food left on your plate.
To get support for these changes from others in similar shoes, you may want to make time in your life to attend a support group. Some people find it helpful to attend a group such as Overeaters Anonymous or TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) to share thoughts and experiences with people who are also trying to lose weight.
Set helpful, not hindering, goals. While goals are important, unrealistic expectations can be potential obstacles to weight loss. Generally, health providers recommend aiming for a weight loss of 10% of your weight over six months and then maintaining that weight loss for another six months. Studies have shown that this recommendation is a realistic goal and that continuing to lose weight after the initial six months can be difficult. Weight may plateau despite maintenance of the new lifestyle because of changes in the body. After an initial weight loss, a new regimen of calorie reduction and increased physical activity needs to be formulated since your body has different requirements at its lower weight.
Even if losing 10% of your body weight is all you need and want, you must still continue your healthy eating and exercising habits indefinitely to maintain your new weight. Weight loss and maintenance is not a quick or temporary fix; it often entails a dramatic change in your lifestyle. Attempting or expecting a large loss of weight quickly can lead to disappointment, health problems, and a rebound in your weight.
Be flexible and forgiving. A good diet is governed by a set of guidelines rather than rigid lists of foods that you can or cannot eat. The days of the so-called "diabetic diet," in which only certain sugars were restricted and meals had to be weighed, have gone, and so has the time of thinking about certain foods as inherently "good" or "bad." It's still a good idea (for everyone) to limit simple sugars, processed foods, and saturated fats in the diet, but you should not be overly discouraged or feel like a bad person for occasionally eating too much of something or eating a food you usually avoid.
Don't knock nutrition
Although weight loss may be the objective, try to attain it in a healthful manner. Even as you reduce what you eat, carefully choose what you cut out of your diet, since eating a variety of foods helps ensure that you're meeting your body's need for essential nutrients. For example, if you lower your dairy intake to remove some calories and saturated fat from your diet, find another way to get enough calcium and vitamin D to prevent problems like osteoporosis. Keep in mind also that people who are overweight have been shown to have reduced levels of vitamin D in their blood. The reduced level of vitamin D could become a full-blown deficiency if all milk — one of the few foods that is enriched with vitamin D — is eliminated from the diet and nothing is done to find another source.
Cutting back on fat in the diet is a worthwhile goal for many. But while Americans have gradually reduced their intake of fat as a percentage of their daily diet, the number of obese and overweight Americans has climbed. Part of the increase could be due to the widespread misperception that just eating fat-free foods is healthier and that fat is bad. But many low-fat foods became low-fat when their fat was replaced with carbohydrate, which still has calories. By eating more of a fat-free food, you may actually ingest more calories than if you had eaten less of the original product.

Congress backs bills to aid UkraineMarch 27, 2014 @ 12:37 pm
More Photos
See all photos
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a show of solidarity with President Barack Obama, Congress spoke with one voice Thursday against Russia's annexation of Crimea, overwhelmingly backing legislation in the House and Senate to aid cash-strapped Ukraine and punish Russia.
On a voice vote, the Senate approved a measure that would provide $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine and give Obama broad authority to impose more sanctions on Russia and President Vladimir Putin's inner circle for Moscow's brazen incursion into Crimea earlier this month.
The House endorsed a different version on a 399-19 vote that also provides assistance to Ukraine and penalizes Russia. Lawmakers hope to send a single bill -- the Senate measure -- to the White House for Obama's signature by week's end.
"It is vitally important that the United States, in conjunction with our European Union and NATO allies, send an unmistakable signal that this aggression will not be tolerated," said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va.
The votes came as Obama wrapped up a European trip in which he enlisted the support of allies in challenging Russia's aggression. The rare congressional unity stood in sharp contrast to recent partisan divisions over the Ukraine package, which had been caught up in disputes over new IRS regulations on groups claiming tax-exempt status and International Monetary Fund reforms.
In retreat two days ago, Senate Democrats backed down and stripped the IMF reform language from the bill, a defeat for the Obama administration, which had promoted the IMF provisions.
Ukraine, a nation of 46 million people, is battling to install a semblance of normalcy since Ukraine's pro-Russia President, Viktor Yanukovych, was ousted in February after months of protests ignited by his decision to back away from closer relations with the EU and turn toward Russia.
During the past few weeks, an interim government has formed, Ukraine lost Crimea to Russia and further possible military incursions by Russia are feared. The country is also bracing for a turbulent political season ahead of the upcoming presidential vote.
Ukraine is politically divided, with western regions favoring closer ties to Europe and the east looking toward Russia. But the dire state of its economy is an unavoidable issue: Ukraine's Finance Ministry has said it needs $35 billion over the next two years to avoid default.
Asked if the $1 billion in loan guarantees that Congress is pledging was enough, Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, noted that the U.S. was the largest contributor to the International Monetary Fund, which on Thursday pledged up to $18 billion in loans to prop up Ukraine's teetering economy. The money is hinged on structural reforms that Ukraine has pledged to undertake.
Other donors, including the European Union and Japan, have already pledged further aid to Ukraine, conditional on the conclusion of an IMF bailout and reform package. The total amount of international assistance will be about $27 billion over the next two years.
Taken together, all the assistance is in the "ballpark of what we need," Menendez said.
The Senate bill would provide $1 billion in loan guarantees to help stabilize Ukraine's economy.
It authorizes $50 million in assistance to Ukraine for such things as improving democratic governance and anti-corruption efforts; supporting free and fair elections in Ukraine; and bolstering democratic institutions and civil society organizations.
The bill also authorizes an additional $100 million to enhance security cooperation among the United States, European Union and countries in central and eastern Europe and further authorizes the president to provide defense articles and services, and additional security assistance to Ukraine and countries in the region
Targeting Russia, the bill would freeze assets and revoke visas of Russian officials and their associates who are complicit in or responsible for significant corruption in Ukraine.
"Putin's cronies should recognize that Putin may not be the right horse to be betting on any longer," Menendez said.
The top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, said he hoped that once the bill is signed into law, the administration will opt to sanction three or four additional Russian banks.
"What I hope the administration will do is to turn the volume up and actually send some strong sanctions into the energy sector, into the banking sector," he said.
To expedite the Ukraine package, lawmakers decided to vote separately on one provision of the House-passed bill on broadcast rights.
The legislation would provide money to step up broadcasts by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Voice of America to counter Russia-supported messages airing in Ukraine.
"Moscow is using propaganda to sow confusion and fear in the Ukraine right now," said Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

5-Stars — Selected as one of the "Best iPhone Games" by TouchArcade's "2009 Buyer's Guide"
"Just spent some quality time with it, i'm hopelessly in love"
"This game is really worth its price and even more. There are games you pay 5 to 10 bucks for and they aren't nearly as addicting as Sword of Fargoal is. I hadn't more fun with the last RPGs I played."

'òÖ TouchArcade.com Says:
In its 1996 anniversary issue, Computer Gaming World listed the game as #147 in the "Top 150 Best Video Games of All Time." It has been inspiration for many dungeon crawlers created since...
It features completely redone graphics utilizing OpenGL ES to add depth to the stony visuals. It allows for pinch-and-spread zoom control to focus on the action at hand and features an optional on-screen mini map to aid in negotiating the twists and turns of each dungeon level.
But, really, what makes the game so well suited for the iPhone is its casual nature as compared to the typical roguelike. And that's not to say the game is shallow or light on dungeon crawling action, but rather I feel it's simply a bit more accessible to the typical gamer than, say, Nethack, Moria, or Rogue thanks to an economy of controls, spells, and the like.

If fluid is coming from your nipple and staining sheets or underwear, some of the fluid may be collected and looked at under a microscope for signs of infection or cancer cells. This is often not a good way to find cancer, because cancer can be present even if no cancer cells are found in the fluid.

CCRN test: how bad is it really?
- 0Aug 13, '05 by farmerrlI have to take the CCRN exam in the next few months. I've been preparing for this off and on for a few years but am still only getting in the 60% range in the AACN core review book. I am now in a charge nurse position and my manager wants all of us to be CCRN certified. Has anyone taken this recently?
- 3Aug 15, '05 by AmiK25I took it last fall and didn't really think it was that bad. I bought the Pass CCRN book and studied only the Cd-Rom that came with it (the book is way too detailed) for about 1-2 weeks. Just brush up on shock states and swan numbers and you will be fine. I was really nervous b/c I kept hearing how hard it was but I only missed 6 questions!
- 0Aug 22, '05 by ZinobileMy test is scheduled for 9/6. I, too, have received lower-than-expected scores on practice tests. Just when I think I'm prepared . . . well, you know what I'm talking about.
I HAVE to pass this exam the first time, I'm NOT doing it again!!!! Any helpful hints to share to a future CCRN?
Thanks in advance.
- 7Sep 10, '05 by ZinobileI passed!
- 1Sep 11, '05 by ZinobileI found it to be a challenging exam that was very much like what I studied in my Laura Gasparis review book. Many questions were given that set up a clinical picture (know your lab normal values cause you will not be given normal ranges) and ask for appropriate nursing interventions.
I think that the breakdown of different types of questions as stated in the testing handbook from the AACN is accurate, the largest portion being cardiac, etc. Know drips!
Best wishes to anyone taking it! My advice: study hard and take it and keep in mind that you can always re-take it. It's not like the NCLEX where if you fail you won't get to work as an RN and get paid better. If you qualify to sit for the exam, there's no better personal reward than to stretch toward certification!
- 0Oct 17, '05 by dfkjust like any other test.. if you know the material, it's passable.. gasparis helped and a good ccrn book (pass ccrn is overkill with info.) most important are doing questions with rationale.. many questions.. if you can learn cardiac and pulmonary well, that makes up nearly 50% of the test.. the rest is pretty straight forward.. good luck!!
by the way, i thought the RN boards were more nerve-racking!!!!!!!!!:uhoh21:

Thomas Jefferson University ASN-BSN Fall 2009
- 0Jan 27, '09 by rntobe2009Hi, I was just accepted to Thomas Jefferson University's ASN-BSN program for the Fall of 2009 . I'm just looking to communicate with others who have also been accepted.Last edit by rntobe2009 on Jan 27, '09 : Reason: misspelled words. words left out
- 0Jan 27, '09 by PolaBar, BSN, RNIf you want, there are a few threads about it (and other Philly schools) in the Region > Pennsylvania > Pennsylvania Area Schools section.
Congratulations, btw!
- 0Jan 28, '09 by rntobe2009Thank you! I have checked other threads and none have anything about the ASN-BSN program at Jefferson. They are all about the FACT and MSN programs.
- 0Feb 7, '09 by lmangano07when did you get your acceptance? I just applied, do you know if the class is full yet? im assuming it is not b/c when i filled it out online it proceeded with my app. after it said some of the other nursing programs were full but did not specify the asn program was full. also, i did not take my net yet, i am scheduled to take it on feb. 14th. Do you know what the minimum score is? how did you do on it?
Thanks for any info you can give me!!
- 0Feb 8, '09 by rntobe2009Well, i was accepted seven days after my application was complete. I am not sure if the class is full yet but you can call and ask the people in admissions, they are pretty straight foward. They will give you the right info. The only thing is that you haven't taken the net test yet so your application won't be considered complete until you have taken it and they have the results (about a week after you take the exam). So most likely your application will fall into the fourth review period because in order to be in the third review period, you would have had to have all your application materials in by February 15th. They said they like to see a composite score of math and reading of around a 70 at least. I got an 86.
- 0Feb 8, '09 by lmangano07thanks so much, hopefully they arent full by the time i take my test, i will call them tomorrow or maybe send an email
- 0Feb 9, '09 by rntobe2009Your very welcome and good luck!:wink2:
- 0Mar 19, '09 by rntobe2009Hello and Congrats! We have a facebook group called "Thomas Jefferson University ASN-BSN Class of 2011". Type the name of the group into the search box on facebook and join. My goal is that we meet, greet, and share info and thoughts before the start of class.
- 0Mar 19, '09 by NNPwannabeHello! I'm applying to the ASN-BSN program as well. For those of you who have already been excepted did you have an interview before you were excepted? If so, how was it? They are still waiting for my NET results before they can make a decision. I hope I get in! Good luck everyone!

Aragon Hotel Brugge Guest Reviews (19)
We spent 3 nights here in October and were very satisfied (stayed in the annexe in a large comfortable room). The hotel is in a good position for walking around the beautiful city. Staff were all helpful and pleasant and seemed to enjoy their jobs! The continental breakfast was fresh and there was a good choice.

Real good hotel, superb location everything nearby. We were located in the third building, which has the disadvantace, that you have to walk outside when you go to the mainbuilding where the breakfast is being served. So you get wet when it is raining. The breakfast itself is good but not great.

LOS ANGELES, September 21, 2013 — Every week things happen in the course of watching an NFL game. Most fans have an opinion on these events. Every Sunday, The Washington Times Communities hosts a live NFL chat that gives the fans a voice.
Don't keep it bottled inside until your remote ends up embedded in your television screen. Join the chat and talk with NFL analysts and other fans. Scroll below the chat window for a look at this week's matchups.
SEE RELATED: Predictions, meet garbage: The NFL 2013 Week 3 Bettor's Guide
Sunday, September 22
Houston Texans (-1) at Baltimore Ravens—Baltimore barely survived Cleveland at home, but they have Houston's number and will again. Upset special, Ravens win outright
New York Giants at Carolina Panthers (Pick 'em)—Captain Grumpy, Tom Coughlin, reminded his team that they are not supposed to play badly until November. He fired a couple players who had already retired just to prove his point. Giants win
Detroit Lions at Washington Redskins (-1)—Last year RGIII was a heroic savior and now fans want to bench him. Even politicians get a longer honeymoon. The dread-locked one will rebound. Redskins cover
Arizona Cardinals at New Orleans Saints (-9)—The Saints have a defense now. Be afraid, rest of the league. Be very afraid. Saints win but fail to cover
San Diego Chargers at Tennessee Titans (-3)—These teams are both vastly improved, and the winner of this game could be a first round playoff exit. Upset special, Chargers win outright
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New England Patriots (-9)—Darrelle Revis is already unhappy in Tampa Bay. He misses losing to New England with his old team. Patriots cover
Green Bay Packers (-1) at Cincinnati Bengals—Short of Cincinnati bringing Brett Favre out of retirement again, nothing they do will rattle Aaron Rodgers. Packers cover
St. Louis Rams at Dallas Cowboys (-3.5)—The $1.2 billion Jerry Jones Metropolis will not be a total loss. Jones can recoup his investment by blowing it up for the insurance money if Dallas loses home games like this. Cowboys win but fail to cover
Cleveland Browns at Minnesota Vikings (-5.5)—Brandon Weeden and Christian Ponder, repeat after me. Hand the ball to Trent Richardson's replacement and Adrian Peterson. Throw the ball, get benched…after the interception is returned the other way. Vikings cover
Atlanta Falcons at Miami Dolphins (-1)—Joe Philbin is challenging to replace Mike Smith on the cover of "Average Non-Descript Caucasian Men's Monthly" Magazine. Smith will point out that when your offense is that flashy, you can be colorless. Upset special, Falcons win outright
Buffalo Bills at New York Jets (-1.5)—An anonymous friend insists that Buffalo is the only New York NFL team. He was informed that calling them the Jersey Jets risks being punched by FDNY and NYPD guys in better condition than the Jets offensive line. Jets cover
Indianapolis Colts at San Francisco 49ers (-11.5)—An angry Jim Harbaugh squad at home after a humiliating loss means Andrew Luck may end up with the middle name, "bad," this week. 49ers win but fail to cover
Jacksonville Jaguars at Seattle Seahawks (-19.5)—Point spreads like this have not been seen since Tom Osborne coached the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Richard Sherman will pretend that he is playing the 49ers again to avoid falling asleep on the field due to boredom. Seahawks win but fail to cover
Chicago Bears (-1.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers—The NFL is going to declare this Week 13 instead of Week 3 so that NBC can flex this game off of their schedule. Mike Tomlin takes personal responsibility for his team's players, but that will not placate despondent network executives. Bears cover

Winter Warmers: An Outdoor Class...
Thu, 2008-12-04 05:51
Great class tonight. Absolutely freezing, full complement of practitioners suitably attired, and Thomas and myself with the lucky duty of driving everyone on through the London streets... who could ask for more?! And this particular class turned out to be a fine example of why training in adverse weather conditions can be so useful.
The problem, or perhaps one should see it as a bonus, was that ice and frost was covering everything in sight. Benches, walls, railings, the grass... slippery, cold and generally uninviting. After a thorough Thomas Des Bois upper-body warm-up, it was straight onto movement drills and routes to keep everyone warm until croissant-time at the end of the class. Simple movement, nothing fancy, and in good conditions - well lit, dry, rough surfaces - all of it would have been even simpler. However, dim those lights, scatter some frost around, and glaze those surface in patches of ice and you have a whole different story unfolding.
Suddenly every move becomes uncertain; every step a possible slip, every grab a possible miss, and every jump a possible butt-bruising. On a muscular level, you work so much more - everything has to contract that little bit more to keep a grip or land the jump, techniques have to be soft and light and very precise, and focus maintained at all times.
The spirit is alive and well in London, and refusing to be dampened by an English winter in full approach...
To their credit everyone threw themselves into it and got on with the exercises, and it is here in this kind of training that spirit is shaped the most. This is when you find out how much you can push yourself and just what kind of mental control you have over your body, which really does not want to make that jump onto an ice-covered wall. You learn the most about yourself in adversity - character is only truly formed when under pressure and tested properly. It's easy to be brave when there is no challenge to overcome; a breeze to be calm and at peace when sitting in a mountaintop temple retreat. But how will those traits stand up when faced with a great risk, or hurled into the maelstrom of a bustling metropolis? That is when such virtues really count, and only then that we can discover whether we have them or not.
And so we ended with the simplest of tasks. A fingergrip traverse along some sloped walls, maybe 30 metres in length. Usually this ia good warm-up for the arms, and you can bust out 3 or 4 reps there and back. But tonight, with glacial moss covering the walls and ice along the grip, even completing one full traverse without coming off was a physical feat. A better work-out for the abs you could not find, as we discovered! After Thomas and I went there and back we knew it was a tricky one, so big congratulations to Daryl who managed to get there. The task added a good half hour beyond the official end of the class, but I think those who were there clawing away at the ice with us found something useful in just attempting it, whether they made it or not.
The spirit is alive and well in London, and refusing to be dampened by an English winter in full approach... ;)

Cops Corner: Sarasota
Date: July 26, 2012
by: Observer Staff
July 13
Indecent proposal
3:30 p.m. — 800 block of Tamiami Trail. Suspicious Person. A man who attempted to rent space at a flea market made the property owner feel uncomfortable when he hugged her for an extended amount of time and kissed her on the cheek. He then said he wished she was not married with children, because she was the kind of woman he "would like to have sex with." When police contacted the man, he claimed to have sustained head injuries that caused him to forget the incident ever occurred.
July 17
Hack job
7:29 a.m. — 2200 block of Bee Ridge Road. Grand Theft. A car dealership employee notified police when he noticed three Cadillac sport utility vehicles were damaged. When officers reviewed security camera footage, they spotted a thin man with a shirt around his face remove the rear bumper of one vehicle, the front bumper and hood of another truck and the front bumper and side grills of the third car. The employee suspected a chop shop in Port Charlotte was somehow involved.
July 19
Father knows best
2:44 a.m. — 2000 block of Adams Lane. Disturbance. When police responded to a reported disturbance in Payne Park, a young girl, whom the caller had described to police, fled from officers to a car dealership. Police took the girl home to her father after restraining her. Officers said the father seemed angry with the girl.
He said, he said
10:50 a.m. — 3300 block of Tamiami Trail. Disorderly Conduct. Two men involved in a road-rage incident gave police conflicting reports. One man said the other man was driving extremely slow and continually cutting him off when he tried to change lanes, then followed him down a side street and began haranguing him. The other man said he was driving the speed limit and the other man was driving erratically and tailgating him. The first man admitted to yelling at the other driver.
Tool time
10:54 a.m. — 500 block of Beneva Road. Petit Theft. A store employee caught a man attempting to shoplift. The man tripped an alarm trying to cut the security tags off a set of $100 tools. When officers confronted the man he admitted to possession of paraphernalia. Police found items consistent with crack cocaine use in the man's pocket.

Fernando Alonso has called on Ferrari to "remain calm and do our job" as they look to close the gap to Sebastian Vettel in the Championship.
Red Bull driver Vettel has opened a 36-point lead over the Ferrari driver in the standings, but there are still 12 races left in the season and Alonso knows better than anyone else that things can change quickly.
"Being 36 points behind the leader, we don't have much more room to make mistakes or lose many more points," the Spaniard said.
"But on the other side we need to remain calm and do our job. If we can win races and if we can finish in front of Sebastian it will be great, but if we cannot, then we try and lose the minimum points.
"Last year I had an advantage around Monza time of 42 points, and it was not enough. So being the eighth race and 36 points behind is not an ideal position, but it is not the end of the world."
Vettel is the form driver on the track having won the Canadian Grand Prix last time out after starting on pole while he finished second in Monaco.
Alonso was full of praise for the German and his Red Bull team.
"I think he [Vettel] is doing a fantastic job in all the races," he said. "He has been nearly perfect with no down races, always performing well in qualifying and with very good races.
"Obviously I had two unlucky situations, one in Malaysia and one in Bahrain. Kimi was leading the championship and then was very close until he had two unlucky situations, one in Monaco and one in Canada which was a mixed race for him.
"So we need to keep fighting, we need to keep pushing to recover now these bad races we have had.
"Red Bull is improving really well, compared to the first part of the Championship. We need to raise our game if we want to arrive at him."

Packaging Corporation Of America Reports Record Third Quarter 2013 Results
Packaging Corporation of America (NYSE: PKG) today reported third quarter 2013 net income of $84 million, or $0.86 per share, which included an after tax charge of $3 million, or $0.03 per share, for costs related to the announced Boise Inc. acquisition agreement and a non-cash charge of $2 million after tax, or $0.02 per share, for changes to PCA's mill employee pension plan. Excluding special items, net income was a record $89 million, or $0.91 per share, compared to third quarter 2012 net income of $53 million, or $0.55 per share, which excludes debt refinancing charges. Net sales were a record $845 million, up 17% from third quarter 2012 of $723 million.
The $0.36 per share earnings increase, excluding special items, was driven by higher containerboard and corrugated products prices and mix ($0.44) and increased volume ($0.05). These items were partially offset by higher costs for fiber ($0.03), labor ($0.03), incentive compensation ($0.03), energy ($0.02), transportation ($0.01) and chemicals ($0.01).
Excluding special items, net income for the first nine months of 2013 was $219 million, or $2.25 per share, compared to $142 million, or $1.45 per share, in 2012. Year-to-date net sales were $2.4 billion, up 14% compared to $2.1 billion in 2012.
Corrugated products shipments were up 7.8% compared to last year's third quarter, and mill containerboard production was a record 671,000 tons. Outside domestic sales of containerboard were up 8,000 tons from last year's third quarter, and export shipments were 20,000 tons lower as PCA reduced export sales to support higher containerboard demand at its box plants. Containerboard inventories at the end of September were 4,000 tons below year-end 2012.Commenting on results, Mark W. Kowlzan, Chief Executive Officer of PCA, said, "We had an exceptional quarter setting records for earnings and sales. Our mills ran extremely well, and both our containerboard and corrugated products demand remained strong. Box shipments set an all-time record for shipments per workday, and we realized a full pass-through of our April containerboard price increase to corrugated products."

I have had these chairs for two years and they are still like new. I have a two year old who eats at them and the stains come right up. They are easy to clean and very sturdy even after the abuse of being knocked over many times by my toddler.
As others have said, these chairs are a great value, look good and are quite comfortable. I ordered 6. At first I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about regarding assembly - the front legs go on effortlessly. The rear legs, not so much. After struggling w/the first, I was dreading doing 5 more. With a friend's help, we got it done, some went a little easier than others, but overall it was definitely not fun. Some tips...you have to jiggle the rear legs while you're threading the screws (7 on the rear), I found it somewhat easier to use a drill w/hex driver once threaded in, but the screws are soft metal and will strip easily if you muscle it. I'm glad it's done!
I love the look of these chairs--they look more expensive than they were, and they are super-comfortable. I also love the size. Many of the comparable chairs on the site had comments regarding the seat being too narrow. The seats on these are nice and wide, and the chairs seem really nice and stable for those with a larger backside and a few extra pounds. The assembly wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but perhaps that's because I've had extensive dealings with Ikea products. The first chair took about 45 minutes, with a few F-Bombs dropped here and there when things didn't screw in correctly. The second only took about 15 minutes, and was a PG-13 experience. I've included some tips below, which will hopefully prevent your own F-Bombs. Assembly tips: - I assembled completely on my own, only getting help on the final step of tightening everything, as your fingers get a little crampy using the little allan wrench; I think having more than one hands on it at a time would be more of a hindrance than a help. - I sat on the floor with the seat on my lap to put on the front legs--this was relatively easy. - After putting on the front legs, I sat on the floor with the back of the chair on my lap, legs on either side of my waist, situated so the holes in the wood were face around the area of my knees. - I put the seat in place lining up the dowel to the hole, using my arms and hands to hold the seat flush in place while putting in and turning bolts. - I put in all of the bolts at once, before tightening any of them to make sure they were all lined up (I learned this after screwing the entire seat on the first one, then finding out that the final bolt was completely unaligned). - When screwing in, the trick is to hold the seat in place and flush to the holes. It's a little tricky, but not that hard. Hope the tips help. I highly recommend these chairs and hope you love them as much as I do!
These chairs were ordered to match ones I had purchased at xxxxxx several years ago. A perfect match and excellent quality made me thrilled to get these. We've gone through 5 grandbabies and there isn't anything that they can do to these chairs that can't be cleaned off. We've had spaghetti sauce, chocolate and ink pen even drawn in a bullseye that came out with just water or a little dish soap and water.
The chairs look really nice and they were not that hard to assemble once I got the first completed. The scfrews are very near the same length but they are not interchangeable so line them up before you start. The directions are not that specific. It would be better to have 2 people to put them together but I managed by myself with a few contortions. Use a power screw driver as the small tool that comes with the chairs does not tighten fully unless you are extremely strong.
These chairs are beautiful! My husband put them together with no problems, and he likes them, too. The only little thing is that one chair can't be leveled no matter how we've tried. Small inconvenience. May even order another set so that we have a few extra "just in case".
I was a little nervous to order these chairs at first because I needed 6 of them but I was pleasantly surprised. They are fairly comfortable to sit on (which is a big deal for me) My husband put the legs on in just a few minutes without any problems (disclaimer: he is very handy and has every tool known to man) The fabric seems to be fine -- so far no spots for such a light color. All and all, I am very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend these chairs if you have no young ones or red wine drinkers :)
These chairs are comfortable and beautiful. I had my own set of Allen wrenches, the kind where there are around 10 and you just tip out the one you want. Using my wrench made the put together process about ten times easier than the little wrench included. It took about an hour to put all 4 together. I am using these chairs with a table I already had but repainted, and the chairs make the set look gorgeous.
I am staging a home for sale. I needed some new chairs to go with the clients existing table. The chairs were easy to assemble and did wonders for the look. I buy many things from Overstock when I stage homes and often sell them again right with the house.
nice chairs, comfortable, alittle hard to assemble back legs but worth it
