This rug is fabulous. I rely on other reviews and this one had a good rating. I am very happy with this purchase. It is soft, is a great size (6x9) and doesn't smell like some jutes can.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

A little darker then expected but the quality is amazing. In love with this rug.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Purch ased for the dinin g room and was surpri sed at how large and thick the "knob s" are in the knob by weav e. Beca use of this, it is a bit too thick to use under dinin g chairs that will be movin g aroun d a lot. I will proba bly have to move it into a bedro om. It is VERY soft under foot and the color is prett y true to the comp uter scree n.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Just received this rug.. It is gorgeous, perfect for my ocean side decor!
I love the rug; however, it was a bit darker than I had hoped. The only reason I'm not giving it a "5" is that the shedding of this natural rug is in the form of small black pieces of not-sure-what from the jute material that I've had to vacuum from my sofa chairs. I guess that's part of the "shedding" that I've read in negative reviews about natural jute; otherwise, I am not bothered by any other shedding. Still love natural fiber rugs, though!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Excellent quality, lots of style and feels great on the feet! Just the look we wanted in our den. I love this rug.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Love it!!!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Love it! Great texture. Great massage on your feet, but still soft.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This rug totally makes my breakfast nook! Very chic! I love the texture and is actually very soft to the touch. I can easy walk barefoot on it and the "knobby" look is so unusual. It's one of my most favorite pieces in the house! I just wish I had used a coupon that is floating all over the internet. I realized after I ordered that there are a ton of Rug USA coupons out there! Still--I'm so thrilled!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Balancing Nursing school while being a single parent?
- 0Jan 12, '13 by LPN_2_B_9311Hi, I'm currently in the process of enrolling into MCI for LPN. I'm wondering if there's any single parents that have gone through or are currently going through nursing school? How do you balance it? I'm anxious to start school but I'm also nervous because I don't know how I'm going to get through it all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
- 0Jan 12, '13 by missy0910I am currently a student in an LPN program. I started in Sept. it is a 2 year program. I am a single mom. It is definitely a challenge to balance home, school work, studying and parenting but it is certainly something you can do. I love that I made the decision to go back to school. Stay focused. If this is something you want go for it!! Best of luck..
- 0Jan 13, '13 by vintagemotherI'm a single mom and in LVN nursing school. My children are older- elementary and middle school. Based on my personal experience, it's definitely possible. I think having a strong academic back ground has helped me, as has the fact that I've taken many prereqs for the RN program prior. I have a strong support system of relatives who watch my kids and are there for me.
That being said, it has been important for me to eliminate a lot of extras. I hardly work, school is my focus.
There are lots of moms in my Lvn program. Some are single, others are not. The academic work is easier for some and harder for others. For me, time management has been key.
- 1Jan 13, '13 by LPN_2_B_9311Thanks guys! I just can't wait to get started with school. Wanting to give my daughter the best life possible is my ultimate goal and I know I can do it!
- 0Jan 13, '13 by Philly_LPN_GirlI am a single mother to one of my kids ( 7 yrs old) and its not hard for me at all I keep both of my kids on a schedule and I study while they are sleep.
- 0Jan 13, '13 by mya432Quote from LPN_2_B_9311You can do itHi, I'm currently in the process of enrolling into MCI for LPN. I'm wondering if there's any single parents that have gone through or are currently going through nursing school? How do you balance it? I'm anxious to start school but I'm also nervous because I don't know how I'm going to get through it all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
- 1Jan 14, '13 by MewsinI was a single mom the last time I was in school, I used Mcdonalds a lot. Not necessarily for their food (actually not for their food) but for their play center. My kids could go play and I could sit and study. It was a win win for sure.....not sure if Mcdonald's agreed lol.
- 0Jan 14, '13 by FutureFabNurseI just enrolled in MCI and start on the 28th. I'm also a single parent of a 4 yr old. I have the support of my family and my son's dad so as long as you have a great support system that will give you that time to study then you will do great!! What state are you in?
- 1Jan 14, '13 by catdawgDoing it now. My son will be six in two weeks and I'm in school full time with 2 jobs (one full time, one prn). It's a lot, that's for sure but you can do it. Some days I feel like a robot but I'm definitely learning good lessons about time management. Don't let yourself get distracted when it's study time. Buy a white board and teach your child about the human body. My little boy likes the pictures in my books and I teach him when I teach myself. He thinks it's fun (for now haha). Going to the park means i take notecards with me. or he will watch a movie and i will read a textbook. And definitely don't forget your me time. I've run myself tagged before and gotten sick. Now i make a point to take my relaxation time for myself. You can do it! It'll be hard but definitely worth it in the end. That moment will come when you see a light at the end of the tunnel.
- 0Jan 14, '13 by pandabear200777I am a single mom and almost ready to graduate from LPN school and you can do it. One piece of advice I would give you is to allow yourself some "mommy time" weather it is a day or just long enough for a bubble bath you have to take some me time so you can refocus.

Today was another busy day up north. Here's how it went down:
- Woke up at 8, showered, ate breakfast (spinach egg scramble, honey bunches of oats)
- Drove into Yosemite Valley
- First stop was at Tuolumne Grove for some hiking and obligatory photo ops.
This hike was 3 miles and wrapped all through the trees. The first half was downhill and we had fun playing tag. The way up… not so fun. It was lots of incline and our layers of clothing sure started to heat up!
[The Giant Sequoia]
[Tunnel Tree]
[Fallen Tree]
- Post-hike #1, we drove further into Yosemite Valley. I fell asleep in the car, but my mom snapped some photos at The Swinging Bridge.
- It got to be 2 PM and I was soooo tired, soooo in need of coffee, and soooo hungry. We ate lunch at the Ahwahnee Hotel's bar/lounge (this was the same place we went with Vanessa).
I started with coffee and my mom ordered a hot chocolate. As for meals, I ordered the same entrée I had last time (because it's one of the few veg options- the Whole Wheat Veggie Wrap). Get ready for some really good quality pictures…
Sam ordered the Pastrami Sandwich, my mom ordered the Field Greens Salad and Chicken Apple Waldorf Croissant, and David ordered the Curried Butternut Squash soup. Everything was ready in about 10 minutes and it all tasted delicious.
- Ready for the second hike of the day, we took the trail from the hotel to Mirror Lake. The lake was very very low on water, but it was still a nice hiking spot.
[Reflection in the water]
- My mom and I split from David and Sam (unintentionally), but we all met up about an hour (3 miles) later back at the Ahwahnee. After a quick stop at the gift shop for some *almost* last-minute Christmas shopping, it was time to drive back to Groveland.
- On the way, we decided to stop for pizza!
Here are some more really good quality pics…
Endless salad bar (x2) and a pizza with pesto, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts (and sausage/pepperoni also on half). AND some chicken wings.
I didn't snap a photo when it first came because we were all excited to eat, as you can see. Our bodies needed refueling!
- For the rest of the night, Sam and I worked on a puzzle and snacked on marshmallows. It's not done yet, but it will be tomorrow!
Until then, goodnight!
- Nicole

aww looks like fun Nicole! dont stay up too late working on that puzzle!
Tara says:
I'm living vicariously through these pictures. I've always wanted to go there!! The Sequoias are so freakin' big! All that hiking must have been fun. Topping it all off with puzzles and marshmallows makes for an even better time. I want to go away!
Kristine says:
Oh I love Yosemite! I've always wanted to stay at that hotel too! Yosemite looks gorgeous (and COLD!)
I'm loving all these nature pictures, the scenery looks so nice! :)

Codexis Cuts Staff After Shell Pulls Funding
11:40 AM MDT | September 4, 2012 | Rebecca Coons
Enzyme maker Codexis (Redwood City, CA) says it is cutting approximately 133 employees after Royal Dutch/Shell terminated their long-standing, royalty-bearing biofuels collaboration. Shell will pay Codexis the approximately $7.5 million that would have been due under the Shell Research Agreement, and Codexis will have no further research and development obligations under that agreement.

According To Sam Amico from Sports Fox, Eric Gordon and Klay Thompson could both be traded before the trade deadline.
"FYI: Source says trade talks involving Hornets G Eric Gordon and Warriors G Klay Thompson are at "more than exploratory" stage."
Eric Gordon was clearly unhappy after being traded to New Orleans in the blockbuster trade that sent Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers.
While the Warriors love Klay Thompson, they think Eric Gordon would be a much better player for their system.

Chicago's 101.1 FM goes all news 24/7
By Mary Houlihan Staff Reporter email@example.com July 31, 2011 4:48PM
Randy Michaels | AP
Updated: November 16, 2011 1:21AM
Chicago news radio just got more competitive.
Merlin Media, a New York-based company controlled by former Tribune CEO Randy Michaels and private equity firm GTCR, has launched FM News 101.1, WWWN-FM (formerly WKQX-FM, Q101).
"My favorite format has always been spoken radio," Michaels said in a statement. "I've long had a nostalgic love affair with the big AM stations known for the format, and today — as music moves to the iPod — it's time for spoken word to move to FM. I'm proud to be part of Chicago's only 24-hour all-news station."
Merlin released the names of the station's talent on Sunday. The roster includes Mary Ellen Geist, Ed Curran, Rob Hart, Dave Williams, Charlie Meyerson, Debra Dale, Sam Sylk and Jill Urchak.
"We've put together a stellar group of Chicago information news hosts, writers and producers," said Andy Friedman, Merlin's vice president of programming. "They will identify precisely the stories our listeners demand."
This announcement comes piggybacked on the recent news that CBS Radio planned to drop its adult contemporary music format on WCFS-FM (105.9). Beginning Monday WBBM-AM (780) will simulcast it's 24-news cycle on the channel.
Hopes are the simulcast will make WBBM easier to access in outlying suburbs and in downtown Chicago where the signal can be marred by tall buildings.
Merlin makes the claim to be Chicago's "only 24-hour news station" citing the fact that WBBM also airs Bears games, simulcasts of "60 Minutes" and some late-night non-news programming.

Answer #1DaveJHM April 21, 2011, 21:31Master
Have a look at the brake light switch, at the brake pedal. This switch and / or the wiring connector to the switch can fail. This is not uncommon among many vehicles.
Answer #2patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, April 21, 2011, 21:39Master
Check the brake light switch pink/dark blue wire should have fused power. white/tan and dark blue/red should have power when the pedal is pressed or the switch is bad. Check fuse 5 (20 amp) is brake light fuse
Answer #3xodad1 July 27, 2012, 19:50Rookie
I had the same issue and found the tail light assembly needed to be replaced.

Ok, so we went to that party saturday night. It was alot of fun. We didn't participate, we just kind of observed. It was at some ladies house. She said act like we are at home, all of the rooms/bedrooms are open. That is definantly an odd feeling. We just met this lady and she is inviting us to have sex with anyone we want anywhere we want. People were in the closets, bathrooms, laundry room, they were everywhere. Don't think that everyone was having sex, we would have felt really weird then. Some people were walking around naked, some in there undies. The furthest I went was showing people my ass and one of my tattoos. Hey THEY kept asking! By the way, just a hint, I have to keep myself well shaven to be able to see my tattoo.Oh well. It was fun. We want to take some people with us next time(not to mess around with).

John D. Ehrlichman∇: [a20:36] I wanted to post you on this leak.1
President Nixon: [Unclear] OK. Go ahead.
Ehrlichman: The Defense Department—
President Nixon: There are no excuses.
Ehrlichman: Well, the Defense Department thinks they're very close to pinning this on somebody. They've been at work on this since yesterday. And [Al] Haig∇ just called me to say that they [unclear]—
President Nixon: In the Defense Department?
Ehrlichman: In the Defense Department. And we in any case won't have the access lists and polygraph teams until after noon today. But after noon, we'll be ready to go if you want us to.
President Nixon: I do.
Ehrlichman: Now the—their—Haig's concern is that we're liable to blow the investigation in Defense if we start there. [a21:19] And—
President Nixon: Well then don't polygraph them. Polygraph the ACDA∇ people.
Ehrlichman: Can do State, ACDA, [unclear — overlapping voices]—
President Nixon: And NSC∇. [Unclear — overlapping voices — I want everybody?] just to be sure, so they don't say that we didn't do our own. OK?
Ehrlichman: I just wanted you to know that much. I'll know more at noon than I do right now.
President Nixon: [Unclear] Did I see the paper?
Henry A. Kissinger∇: Yep.
President Nixon: I'll take—I'll take a polygraph, too, then.
Kissinger: Oh, God, no, no, the President doesn't take a polygraph.
President Nixon: No, but I mean my point is, I think we've got to be like Caesar's wife.
Kissinger: Yeah, but no one—if—if the President has to take a polygraph test, then we're in trouble.
President Nixon: [Unclear — overlapping voices] But let me say this. What do—what do you mean, they think they've got him. It'll be the first time they ever caught somebody.
Ehrlichman: I don't have—I don't have any way of warranting to you that there's anything to this.
President Nixon: [Unclear — overlapping voices] cover up for Defense.
Ehrlichman: I understand. [a22:04]
President Nixon: Now the goddamn Defense Department—[New York Times Reporter William] Beecher is a defense man. But it could come from State or someplace else. He said they—
Ehrlichman: [Unclear — overlapping voices]—
President Nixon: Is he just pulling your leg now, John, or—
Ehrlichman: Haig?
President Nixon: Haig, yes.
Kissinger: No, no.
Ehrlichman: I doubt it. I doubt it.
H.R. "Bob" Haldeman∇: Haig wouldn't be pulling John's leg. Defense may be pulling Haig's leg.
President Nixon: Yeah. They're trying to—see, Henry, Defense is a bad apple here, too.
Kissinger: [Raising his voice] Oh, yes.
President Nixon: They're both bad.
Kissinger: They're both no good. They leak for different purposes—
President Nixon: That's right.
Kissinger: —but . . .
President Nixon: No, but there are peaceniks in Defense. That's my—
Kissinger: On the civilian side, absolutely.
President Nixon: That's what I mean.
Kissinger: Yeah. [a22:38]
Ehrlichman: Well, apparently, this was a—as Al reads it anyway—was the Defense position that was being argued [unclear]. And it was a—it was a paraphrase of the Defense recrimination [unclear — overlapping voices] decision.
Kissinger: Only on one point.
President Nixon: [After making preliminary noises] just go ahead. I want the polygraphs done. Also, if they're on the golf course, on the tennis courts, going to New York or to Boston or someplace or to Nassau, get those fuckers back here and polygraph them. Is that clear? Every goddamn one that had access to it. Now I mean it. Everyone. It's just as well that these people be shaken up. It'll shake some of the others up, because if they didn't leak this time, they will be leaking next week. I want them polygraphed. Everybody that had access is to be polygraphed. And the second thing is, John, which—it's a violation of my order that 100 people had access to this highly sensitive secret negotiating position.
Kissinger: That we've already done something about. We've already—
President Nixon: From now on—from now on—I'll tell you what it is. There'll be three. Three will have access. Goddamn it, that's all you need. Why does CIA∇ get them? They shouldn't. They should be Henry Kissinger. He can have access and responsibility and then [unclear]. Henry Kissinger, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and the head of ACDA. And nobody else. Now Goddamn it, that's the way to stop this thing. [a24:02]
There was a brief discussion of other issues during which Kissinger left.
President Nixon: [a27:48] Listen, on this [former Director of Policy Planning and Arms Control for International Security Affairs Leslie H.] Gelb∇ thing, is it really your feeling, John, that [Sheehan?] that there's another group beyond, what's his name, [Daniel] Ellsberg∇ [unclear]?
Ehrlichman: Well, I think—I think the—see [Assistant Attorney General Robert C.] Mardian was giving me raw data
President Nixon: I understand.
Ehrlichman: And—
President Nixon: That's great [a28:09]
NARA Excision
Category: Closed by Statute
Duration: 13s
President Nixon: [28:22] Going to get awful close to the Security Council. Gelb and [former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Morton H.] Halperin∇, you see.
Haldeman: Yep.
President Nixon: I've always felt that there's something here. I want to be sure that we check that damn group in there. Now Haig is gonna have to.
[There is pause of approximately six seconds.]
President Nixon: No. I don't think I made myself clear in San Clemente as to how I wanted this played. I am not interested in the legal things. Did I make myself clear on that?
Haldeman: [Unclear — overlapping voices]—
President Nixon: I don't give a damn [unclear —overlapping voices]. I want to have leaked to the Chicago Tribune this story. Now! [a29:06]
NARA Excision
Category: Closed by Statute
Duration: 6s
President Nixon: [29:13] That sort of thing, leak it right out. You understand?
Haldeman: Right.
President Nixon: That sort of thing can kill the bastards. But, John, if you wait, they'll cover it up.
Ehrlichman: I understand.
President Nixon: But have you—is that—does Mardian understand?
Ehrlichman: No, he—no. But [unclear — overlapping voices] I haven't let Mardian get into that at all.
President Nixon: Oh. I see
Ehrlichman: We're going to put that out here through [White House Political Operative Charles W.] Colson∇ and [E. Howard] Hunt [of the Special Investigations Unit]—
Haldeman: See, if you get Mardian into leaking, you put him [unclear — overlapping voices]
President Nixon: [Starts speaking quietly while Haldeman is still talking] [Unclear — overlapping voices] to the Chicago Tribune, see. That's the place—
Haldeman: Right.
President Nixon: —[unclear] with that. And I want also the story on Ellsberg and all this stuff that Bob has.
Ehrlichman: Well, I asked Mardian to give me this stuff on [New York Times Reporter Neil] Sheehan.
President Nixon: My point is, leaking is a game.
Ehrlichman: Sure.
President Nixon: Now they've leaked on us all the time. I'm going to leak this out. I'm going to leak the Ellsberg thing out. Remember, Bob—John, we've got to win it in the newspapers.
Ehrlichman: Right.
President Nixon: And let's just keep it—keep it alive. I mean, you leak out the Gelb story on the background, who he was, he was [Robert] McNamara∇'s man. He was [John F.] Kennedy's man. Sheehan and all the rest. One other thing I want to know. Colson made an interesting study of the BLS∇ crew. He found out of the 21--you remember he said last time—16 were Democrats. No, he told me in the car, 16 were registered Democrats, one was a registered Republican [unclear] well, there may have been 23. And four were 'Declined to States.' Now that doesn't surprise me in BLS. The point that he did not get into that I want to know, Bob, how many were Jews? Out of the 23 in the BLS, would you get me that?
Haldeman: Alex is getting it.
President Nixon: There's a Jewish cabal, you know, running through this, working with people like [Arthur] Burns and the rest. And they all—they all only talk to Jews. Now, but there it is. But there's the BLS staff. Now how the hell do you ever expect us to get anything from that staff, the raw data, let alone what the poor guys have to say [unclear] that isn't gonna be loaded against us? You understand?
Haldeman: Is Alex working on that?
Ehrlichman: [Fred] Malek.
President Nixon: Oh, Malek is. Oh.
Unidentified Person: [whispering] I'll get this to you today.
[There is a pause of approximately seven seconds.]
President Nixon: Use the polygraph ruthlessly now. Also, John, there's one thing that I would say that I don't know whether Krogh ever got the message on. If he didn't, Bob, you've got to get it to him. All people who have access to top secret information are to sign a statement saying, 'In the event that this document leaks'—it's to be on every one—'I agree to take a polygraph test.' You see what I mean? I don't want any crap on this. [Unclear] now I don't know, was that followed through, John, you remember I mentioned that in one of the meetings. [Unclear — overlapping voices] to do it [unclear]. It is only fear that will stop this sort of thing. Nothing but fear. [a32:10]
1 Ehrlichman refers to a front-page New York Times story a day earlier revealing the Nixon administration's negotiating position in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. Nixon had ordered polygraphs to determine who was responsible. New York Times, 23 July 1971, "U.S. Urges Soviet to Join in a Missiles Moratorium." (↑)

Plain water can be a boring necessity, Diet Coke is bad for you, lemon water may be rough on your teeth if consumed in large quantities, and adding juice also adds calories. Flavoring water with fresh fruit slices and herbs is an easy, healthy alternative.
I spent a weekend at Rancho La Puerta where there were gorgeous water dispensers full of rosemary lime water, orange water, cucumber water and more. The result? I effortlessly drank a ton of water. I read somewhere that cucumber water is particularly beneficial so I decided to look into it.
Related: 10 Reasons Why You Should Drink Lemon Water in the Morning
The cucumber slices do need to soak in water, preferably overnight, prior to drinking. Here are 8 reasons why you should keep cucumber water in the fridge.
Health Benefits Of Cucumber Water
1. It's good for your muscles: Cucumbers contain silica, a trace mineral necessary to keep connective tissue healthy. Add a few slices to your workout water bottle.
2. It's good for your skin: The silica and antioxidants help your skin stay clear and supple. I read that you can remove the soaked cucumbers from cold cucumber water and use them to reduce acne redness. Or, wash your face with cucumber water in addition to your usual acne routine to reduce redness.
3. It's low calorie: An entire cucumber averages about 45 calories so a few slices in your water is not adding very many additional calories
4. You may drink more water: We like things that taste good. Better tasting water just may prompt you to drink more of it. Cucumber water worked for me.
5. It's detoxifying: I've been encouraged to drink cucumber water as an integral part of juice cleanses.
6. It's inexpensive: Cucumbers are the 4th most widely cultivated vegetable in the world. Organics cost a bit more, however, relative to other organic fruits and vegetables, they are less expensive.
7. Guests love it: Add some extra wow to your table by adding a pitcher of cucumber water. Most people don't take the trouble to make it at home, so they appreciate it so much more when served fancy water elsewhere.
8. Making it is easy: It takes just a few minutes to fill a pitcher (or glass) of water and slice a few cucumbers into it.
How To Select A Cucumber
Cucumbers don't do well in heat so you're safer to grab one from the refrigerated section. They should be firm, not wrinkly, and a medium to dark green color. According to WHFoods, you may want to consider buying organic as its thought that conventional cucumbers might be more prone to heavy metal contamination. Cucumber skins contain vitamin A so buy the unwaxed kind. If adding waxed cucumbers to your water, peel the skin off first.
The health benefits passed on per glass of water are slight. However, considering that you are adding in a healthy, low calorie fruit (yes, cucumber is a fruit but often classified as a vegetable) where there would otherwise be none and drinking more water, then its win-win to me. Add a little mint, in addition to cucumber, to jazz your water up even more.
What other fruits and herbs do you add to your water?

ManTech Announces Financial Results For Second Quarter Of 2013
- Revenue: $605.1 million
- Operating Income: $38.7 million
- Diluted EPS: $0.58
- Cash Flow from Operations: $32 million
- Dividends: $0.21 per share authorized for September
FAIRFAX, Va., July 31, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq:MANT) ( www.mantech.com ), a leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical national security programs, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, which ended June 30, 2013.
"Our cyber, intelligence and other critical technology businesses are thriving, and our control of indirect costs is driving competitiveness and profitability," said ManTech Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George J. Pedersen. "ManTech is managing the business well through this difficult current environment. Even as we address a reduction in requirements for warfighter support in Afghanistan, our reputation and contract portfolio in critical areas, such as cyber, intelligence, information technology and health care, and our strong balance sheet position us for future growth. We currently have operations in 18 countries around the world that enable ManTech to respond to customer requirements quickly and efficiently."
Summary Operating ResultsRevenues for the quarter were $605.1 million, compared to $638.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Total revenues supporting missions other than Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) in Afghanistan increased year-over-year, especially in strategic investment areas indicated. Revenues supporting OCO declined $41 million compared to the second quarter of 2012, as the result of the completion of a mobile communications contract and fewer other direct costs (ODCs) on the S-3 contract with the U.S. Army Communications and Electronics Command (CECOM). Operating income was $38.7 million for the quarter. Operating margin of 6.4 percent, up 80 basis points from last quarter, reflected a higher mix of direct labor, excellent award fees stemming from strong program execution, and indirect cost management. Net income was $21.6 million for the quarter, which resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.58.

KXNO just had an interview with Alexander Robinson.
And let me say WOW...the kid is a natural in front of the mic.
Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
I agree. I saw an interview with him on Clone Zone and he carries himself like a coach up there in front of the mic.
I just listend to it on the way into work and was going to post something similar. This is a kid that has his head screwed on straight and really wants to do whatever is best for his team. Loved the interview, even though it was Cotlar that was giving it.
The first plus for me was that I could understand what he was saying and he was able to form complete sentances. We have had backs in the past who that wasn't so easy for.
He talked about splitting time with Scales and Bass and how they were great backs. He credited his offensive line with helping to run for all of those yards against Mizzou. And he talked about being patient and working hard every week.
It really wasn't something out of the ordinary for an interview with a player, but he sounded very honest and sincere, like he really meant what he was saying not just repeating coach speak.
Maybe he just needed some more practice weeks to avoid fumbling. Nice to have three backs that can run the ball.
This ability to change up to three backs may help overcome the Red Zone Trauma.
JJ gets it to the 40 of ISU, Alexander gets the ball to the 20 of Them, and Scales runs it in....

I would let Alexander take it all the way to the house or at least to the 2 before bringing Scales in. Some of our worst red zone games were the ones with Scales as our only back. I do agree that Scales can be useful in short yardage situations though (as long as the OL blocks and we mix in some play action to fool the defense).

-1: the art or science of good eating, 2: culinary customs or style
Food is not just something you eat. It is an experience unlike anything else. A simple sound, aroma, texture or taste can spark many memories; memories that last a lifetime. A euphoric roller coaster of flavor and feelings.
With 20 Years of experience in some of the finest restaurants in California, including Poggio, Stars Bar and Dining, Chez Nous, La Table, and Le Theatre, I have prepared everything from casual Mediterranean small plates to French fine dining.
A natural curiosity and passion for only the best ingredients has served as a catalyst for creativity. The ingredients should speak for themselves. By combining rustic and fine techniques, the dishes are bold, yet fresh and clean.
Let me give you a memorable experience, in the Art of Food, and its wonderful flavors.

Climbing Beyond Recreational Use
Over the past 10 years at Central Michigan University, the 10,000-square-foot Adventure Center in the Recreation, Parks and Leisure Services Administration Department has seen a popularity boom and healthy revenue stream, particularly related to the rock-climbing gym. However, the center also has experienced the ever-so-common "yo-yo" effect as the public's interest in paying to climb the wall shifts. A handful of "regulars" keeps the doors open, but how to keep people coming back? The answer to this question was addressed, adding elements that changed the common rock gym into an impressive experiential learning center.
First-Year Experience
In a class known as the First-Year Experience (FYE), students are exposed to the rock-climbing wall in the following ways:
1. Instructors may take an entire class to experience a set of "team-building" and "problem-solving" activities.
2. Students are invited to attend special FYE-sponsored adventure activity nights for small groups or individuals as an option for completing an out-of-class assignment
3. Students may attend open-campus recreation nights on their own.
Climbing is used as a "from-here-to-there" activity, where climbers are in one place and challenge themselves to move to another. The climbing wall is front-loaded to represent the "journey" through the freshman year of college. A front-load is simply a suggestion or metaphor given to climbers to think about the connection between the activities in which they are participating and what is going on in their lives. Specifically, the bottom of the wall represents where they stand in the first eight weeks of college, and the top of the wall represents how they will finish freshman year. Some sample processing questions follow:
• What obstacles will you face during freshman year?
• What will it take to be successful (during the climb)?
• If unsuccessful, what were your struggles (during the climb)?
• How can these struggles compare to the struggles you will face this year?
• What was it like holding the belay line (during the climb)?
• For whom do you hold the belay line (in everyday life)? What will happen if you let go?
Students' reflections suggest that the two primary FYE goals–promoting engagement and empowering students–are being effectively addressed through these climbing activities.
As Richard Kraft notes, "Adventure educators have begun to learn that the insights learned from adventure programs and other experiential learning environments have great potential for use in the mainstream of our educational settings, whether in schools and colleges, in therapeutic programs, or in the worlds of business and industry" (Miles & Priest, 1990). Other outcomes from adventure experiences include an improved self-concept, enhanced leadership skills, increased logical reasoning skills, enhanced cooperation, more effective communication skills, increased sharing and decision-making skills, new ways to solve conflict and improved problem-solving (Gass & Priest, 2005). The benefits of experiential education for a more substantial development of self appear to be significant.
Adventure activities, combined with other experiential and traditional methods of education, give participants better opportunities to develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
Although the program in this example is specific to freshmen in college, it also can be used for any students who will be transitioning to a new school (i.e., from elementary school to middle school or middle school to high school).

Initials are sort of important, because other kids seem to have a cruel obsession with trying to find that one kid with the initials PIG or FAT, but CAT is fine because it doesn't have any kind of bad meaning. It's good of you to actually consider this before giving the name to your baby, I knew a girl named Tiffany Ilene Thompson which caused her a lot of problems in seventh grade (she has since changed her name). What's important is not whether the initials spell something, but what they spell. I think most little girls would like having CAT in their initials!

Known as "the Emerald City," Evergreen is located in southwestern Alabama and is the county seat of Conecuh County. Evergreen is governed by a mayor and a five-person city council. The town suffered damage from a tornado and several fires in its early years but managed to recover and thrive each time. The town became nationally known in 1885 when greenery from the area surrounding the town was used to decorate the inauguration of President Grover Cleveland.
Early History
Richard Shipp was one of the first settlers to arrive from Georgia in 1818 and at one time owned most of the land where Evergreen is located today. Other early settlers also came from Georgia as well as South Carolina. Evergreen was founded officially in 1819 when Revolutionary War veteran James Cosey and several other men settled within the present limits of the city on what today is known as South Main Street. The area was referred to as "Cosey's Old Field"; Reverend Alexander Travis first called the town by its present name of Evergreen for the abundance of surrounding green foliage, plants, and ferns.
Conecuh County's first seat was Hampton Ridge in 1818, and it was moved to Sparta in 1830. Because Sparta was burned in a federal raid during the Civil War and because Evergreen was more centrally located in the county, the county seat was moved to Evergreen in 1866. Isaac Griffith and his wife, Julia Ann Hammond, donated the land for the new county courthouse on June 20, 1866, and the legislature authorized the construction of the courthouse. Evergreen was incorporated as a city on March 28, 1873. The town at one time was home to a Baptist orphanage and a 500-seat opera house.
In 1882, a tornado hit the city, destroying every building except for the Episcopal Church. On November 7, 1895, fire destroyed every business and house located on the east side of the railroad. Five days later, fire destroyed every business and house on the west side. The Conecuh County Courthouse itself burned in 1868, 1875, 1885, and 1895.
Evergreen's population at the time of the 2010 Census was 3,944. Of that number, 62.4 percent identified themselves as African American, 34.8 percent as white, 2.3 percent as Hispanic, 0.7 percent as two or more races, 0.2 percent as Asian, and 0.2 percent as Native American. The city's median household income was $22,985, and per capita income was $11,482.
Evergreen remained relatively small until the Mobile and Montgomery Railway (now the L&N Railroad) was built through the town in 1861, making Evergreen accessible to rapid transportation. Evergreen today is served by Interstate 65 and U.S. Highways 31 and 84.
Economic Development
In 1818, Malachi Warren established the first general store in what was then called Sparta. The first newspaper in the county was published in Sparta beginning in 1856. Decorative greenery became a unique industry during the late nineteenth century. English immigrant George Caldwell recognized a market in northern states for greenery and established his own business in Evergreen. Caldwell earned the nickname "The Woodsman" and shipped smilax vine and other local greenery to the White House for the inauguration of President Grover Cleveland. Thus, Evergreen adopted the motto "Evergreen Decorates America."
The workforce in present-day Evergreen is divided among the following occupational categories:
· Transportation and warehousing and utilities (18.8 percent)
· Manufacturing (18.8 percent)
· Retail trade (16.0 percent)
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (10.2 percent)
· Public administration (10.2 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation and food services (6.2 percent)
· Other services, except public administration (5.4 percent)
· Finance, insurance, and real estate, rental, and leasing (4.8 percent)
· Information (4.1 percent)
· Construction (3.3 percent)
· Wholesale trade (1.9 percent)
· Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and extractive (0.3 percent)
Leading businesses in Evergreen include Conecuh Sausage Company, Inc., which has produced hickory smoked sausage and ham since 1947; Guyong Technology Co., LTD, which produces and supplies automobile parts such as engine and transmission mounting brackets; and Knud Nielsen Company, Inc., which is now the largest company in the world devoted specifically to producing dried flowers and other decorative materials. Knud Nielsen currently employs more than 350 people and has more than 550,000 square feet of production and warehouse space in Evergreen. The town also hosts the Evergreen Medical Center and Pulmonary Associates, which is the largest pulmonary center on the Gulf Coast.
Records indicate that the earliest school in Evergreen was established around 1821 by George Andrews. Today, the Evergreen Public School System includes three schools: Evergreen Elementary School, Thurgood Marshall Middle School, and Hillcrest High School, which combined total approximately 1,049 students. Evergreen also has one private school, Sparta Academy, which has approximately 270 students in grades K-12. Reid State Technical College is located in Evergreen and was created by the Alabama State Legislature on May 3, 1963.
Events and Places of Interest
Evergreen hosts an annual Fall Festival, Christmas Parade, and Sausage Day Festival. An original marker beacon for the Atlanta
to New Orleans Contract Air Mail route and a historic airport tower are located about five miles west of Evergreen on Highway
84. During World War II, the U.S. Navy used the site as a training field for the Pensacola Naval Air Station.

President Peckham, of the Natural History Society of Wisconsin, has been investigating the mental habits and peculiarities of wasps. On the question whether these insects have much sympathy with one another, he says: " To be sure, when we caught numbers of them, and painted them within the cage, they at once went to work to clean each other, and this shows that they have some desire to aid and comfort their friends. But we have often seen them continue to eat, with entire composure, near the body of one of their number that had just been crushed to death; and they frequently fall upon a dead relative, cut it up, and carry it into the nest to feed their young." Mr. H. Stuart Wortley, of the South Keusing:on Museum, has been led, by long and careful attention given to the observa- tion of animals, to consider that they have true reasoning powers, and says on this sub- ject: "I have frequently seen reasoning power exercised after obvious thought over the best course to pursue. Then, are ani- mals speechless among themselves? I think not, and believe they speak freely to one another at needed times, in their own lan- guage. And I certainly with my own do- mestic animals can understand in a certain sense their language. I clearly know what they ask for, or wliat they wish to call my attention to, from the tone of the voice and its modulations, and this is, I assume, language as regards them."
Professor IIelmholtz has been appoint- ed President of the Kuratorium of the Physical and Technical Imperial Institution which is to be opened at Berhn in 1888, Dr. Werner Siemens, the founder of the Institution, and Dr. Furster, the Director of the Berlin Observatory, will also be cura- tors.
According to Mr. John Ball's "Notes of a Naturalist in South America," the vari- ous ports along the arid coast of Peru, destitute of verdure, reveal upon close ex- amination the presence of plant-life. At Coquimbo veritable bushes and a greenish- gray tint on the surface of the soil were visible, and specimens were obtained of some curious and rare plants in flower pe- culiar to the vicinity, among them a dwarf cactus only three or four inches in height, with comparatively large crimson flowers.
An appearance as of being hollowed out has been remarked in the surface of the hard, green sandstone rocks, near liima, Peru, and was ascribed by Sir Charles Lyell to the result of water-action on ancient and subsequently elevated sea - beaches. Mr. Nation, of Lima, however, who has been observing the rocks for twenty-five years, is satisfied that the hollows are increasing in size and in number. He believes that they are the work of a cryptogamic plant, a lichen, which is in active vegetation dur- ing the foggy season, the swelling of whose cells causes a scaling of the rock.
A NEW telephonic apparatus, called the "Micro-telephone Push-button," has been successfully experimented with in Paris. It has the form of an ordinary electric push- button, and is so sensitive that in speaking at short distances there is no need to come close to the instrument. Persons using it may speak in their ordinary tone, walk about, and act as if they were conversing with some person in the room. The para- graph from which we derive this item inti- mates that the perfection of the instrument
is due to the inventor having resided in America, where his inventive talent was stimulated.
Mr. Clement Reed, of Oncglia, believes that the destructive efl'ects of the earth- quake in the Riviera may have been more owing to the method of building than to the violence of the shocks. The walls of the houses at Oneglia and at Diano Marina are built of rounded stones or rubble, filled in with stucco, and the floors with brick arches, without suliicient care being given to lateral support; and the houses are usu- ally three or four stories high. It is evi- dent that even a slight shaking would be fa- tal to buildings thus constructed.
Mr. Chamberlain, in his monograph on the Ainos, asserts, on the authority of the Rev. Mr. Batchcler, who has lived among that people for many years, that intermar- riages between them and the Japanese are not fruitful, and conduce to weakly offspring and a short-lived stock. There seems, there- fore, to be a kind of reproductive incom- patibility between the two races. The oc- cupation of the northern islands by the Japanese in place of the Ainos, who are diminishing, or of a half-breed race which is not found, may be accounted for by the unfruitfulness of the half breeds, and by the superior vigor of the Japanese race to the Ainos.
Mrs. Hardwicke, widow of the founder of "Science Gossip," preserves eggs fresh by carefully oiling them with a soft brush all over, and packing them in a jar with plenty of bran between each layer. A thick bro'mi paper should be tied over the jar when it is full. "When eaten at three months old," she says, "you could not tell them from fresh eggs."
The announcement is provocative of thought that the invitation which the Gov- ernment of New South Wales gave last year to the British Association to meet in Sydney in January, 1888, has had to be withdrawn, because the matter had been made a party question in the New South Wales Parlia- ment. The fact illustrates anew the truth that science and current politics will not mix.
According to the observations of M. Cazeneuve, the aniline dyes—fuchsine, Bor- deaux red, red, purple-red, etc.—employed in coloring wines, may persist for many years in certain wines, and be obtained in- tact therefrom by analysis. The chemical changes that wine undergoes, especially in the "stripping" of new wines, lead to the precipitation of a greater or less amount of the artificial coloring agent. The diseases produced by microphytes also cause a dis- appearance of color. "Since the introduction of the water- closet, and, I believe, as a direct conse- quence of it," said Dr. G. V. Poore, at the anniversary meeting of the Sanitary Insti- tute of Great Britain, "we have had four severe epidemics of cholera (a disease not previously known), and enteric or typhoid fever (previously almost or quite unrecog- nized) has risen to the place of first impor- tance among fevers in this country (Eng- land). The evils which have arisen from cess- pools and sewers have caused an enormous amount of attention to be devoted to what are known as ' sanitary appliances,' ' sewer constructions,' etc., and so great and so well recognized are the evils of sewers that many of our friends are anxious that we should be compelled by act of Parliament to protect ourselves from the mischief which previous acts of Parliament have produced."
The preliminary steps have been taken for the organization of an Australasian Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science on the same lines as the British Association. The first and inaugural meeting is to be held in Sydney in 1888, which will be the centennial year of the foundation of the colony of New South Wales. The Royal Society of New South Wales, already in operation, is pursuing a system of offering medals and money prizes for original re- searches on scientific subjects, particularly for investigations relating to Australia. Four prizes are offered every year, consist- ing of the society's medal and £25, to be awarded for as many researches of superior merit.
A GRASS resembling the Canadian " sweet grass," but of finer texture and fragrance has been discovered growing at Ocean Beach, New Jersey, and is utilized by a family of Indians there for making fancy baskets. It is identified by Dr. Samuel Lockwood with the Ilierochloa borealis, or "holy grass " of Europe, and as probably the same colony which Dr. Knieskern an- nounced several years ago that he had dis- covered near Squan Village. As the name "holy" or "sacred" grass would be without significance in this country, and the fra- grance of the plant is like that of vanilla. Dr. Lockwood suggests that it be called "vanilla-grass."
Dr. J. W. Stickler, in the " Report of the New Jersey State Board of Health," finds that persons who work in hat-factories are subject to lung-complaints arising from the inhalation of fur-dust. Silk-weaving in dwelling-houses is deleterious, but ought to be a healthy occupation in properly lighted, heated, and ventilated factories, the hack- ling of flax and jute fills the air with a dust of dirt and minute fibers, leading to parox- ysms of coughing, and often to early death; and the spinning process is attended with
similar evils. According to Dr. J. P.Davis, the disorders arising from India-rubber manufacturing are chiefly due to the lead- compounds used in the work, accompanied with heat and defective ventilation, to the introduction of naphtha, and to mechanical conditions.
Biscuits appear to have been the most ancient form of bread. It is not known how early fermentation was introduced, but it appears certain that cakes made sim- ply of flour and water preceded it. Such cakes, of the Neolithic age, are found in the lake-beds of Switzerland—and these are the oldest surviving specimens of bread. 3Iost of the ancient peoples used biscuits on spe- cial occasions, as of war and long voyages. The Greeks called them ai-ton dipuron, or bread exposed tnice to the fire. The Ro- mans had their panis nauticus or capta. Our word biccuit—bis, twice, and codus, French cuit, cooked, twice cooked, the same in meaning as the Greek name, is a survival from the original method of pre- paring the cakes, which is no longer in use.
Professor Emil Du Bois-Retmosd, the twentieth anniversary of whose appointment as Secretary of the Academy of Sciences of Berlin is celebrated this year, has had the privilege of introducing a succession of fa- mous representatives of science in speeches which gave proof of his great ability as an author. He is one of the oldest members of the physico-mathematical class of the Acad- emy; the only member of older standing being Chevreul, whose patent antedates Lis seventeen years.
The city of Nancy, in France, on the 21st of July, suffered the strange visitation of a rain cf wood-ants. It was about five o'clock in the afternoon when the "shower" came up, and the insects, both winged and unwinged, fell upon the streets and public places, and on the heads of passers-by, like a snow-squall, for about an hour. Most of the town was literally covered with ants. They are supposed to have been taken up somewhere and brought to the place by the strong gusts which preceded a severe storm that fell upon the city during the night.
Professor Ttndali, expressed a doubt, in his last Royal Institution lecture, as to whether extensive reading and study had not a tendency to hamper original genius; whether doctrines handed down for genera- tions as articles of faith, which it would be heresy to dispute, had not materially cheeked the progress of science.
Pilocarpine is an alkaloid obtained from the leaves of PVocarpus primatus. It is a viscous substance, giving finely-crystallized salts, and has been applied to various thera- peutic uses.
