8Hide your CDs
Adriana doesn't like her technology showing and decides to hide it in a cabinet.
She says, "I bought an Ivar Gorm shelving unit ($20) to put into the cabinet and hold my CDs and technology, but then realized it wouldn't work the way i wanted.
So, I decided to modify.
On an Ivar Gorm, the vertical pieces of wood are about 1×4, so I kept two of the four intact. The other two, I cut into pieces and made them legs that sit on each shelf.
So, I assembled the back according to directions and the 1x4s for the front acted as legs. The legs are only attached to the shelf above. They are not attached to the shelf below.
Someone who cared could do a better job. Mine was really in the moment when I realized my original plan would not work, and, if I didn't do it when it hits me, it won't get done. So, you can see I cracked the wood because I did not have the right screws.
But, it works and no one sees my stuff."
8 Responses to Hide your CDs
Not to be nitpicky, but that looks like a gorm shelving unit to me. But great job. Looks nice!
Shelving is GORM, not IVAR
I think that's the Gorm, not Ivar… Nice idea, though!
Nice hack – but I think thats Sten, not Ivar…
Cheers -
that is Gorm shelving, not Ivar.
LOL yes, Gorm. but i love it how you came up with a solution once the original plan didn't work out. never mind the split wood – the thing works, that is what counts. i never have the patience to go and get the right screws either.
Oops, sorry folks. Should have checked the picture more closely. It is a Gorm.
maybe put some wood glue in that crack…

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a narrowing of the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. CHD is also called coronary artery disease.
Heart disease, Coronary heart disease, Coronary artery disease; Arteriosclerotic heart disease; CHD; CAD
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the United States for men and women.
Coronary heart disease is caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries to your heart. This may also be called hardening of the arteries .
A risk factor for heart disease is something that increases your chance of getting it. You cannot change some risk factors for heart disease, but others you can change. See: Heart disease - risk factors
Symptoms may be very noticeable, but sometimes you can have the disease and not have any symptoms. This is especially true in the early stages of heart disease.
Chest pain or discomfort (angina ) is the most common symptom. You feel this pain when the heart is not getting enough blood or oxygen. How bad the pain is varies from person to person.
Women, elderly people, and people with diabetes are more likely to have symptoms other than chest pain, such as:
Your doctor or nurse will examine you. Your doctor will often order more than one test before making a diagnosis.
Tests may include:
You may be asked to take one or more medicines to treat blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol levels. Follow your doctor's directions closely to help prevent coronary artery disease from getting worse.
Goals for treating these conditions in people who have coronary artery disease:
Treatment depends on your symptoms and how severe the disease is. Your doctor may give you one or more medicines to treat heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. Follow your doctor's directions closely to help prevent coronary artery disease from getting worse.
Never stop taking your medicines without talking to your doctor first. Stopping heart medicines suddenly can make your angina worse or cause a heart attack.
Your doctor may refer you to a cardiac rehabilitation program to help improve your heart's fitness.
Procedures and surgeries used to treat CHD include:
Everyone recovers differently. Some people can maintain a healthy life by changing their diet, stopping smoking, and taking medications exactly as the doctor prescribes. Others may need medical procedures such as angioplasty or surgery.
Although everyone is different, early detection of CHD generally results in a better outcome.
If you have any risk factors for CHD, contact your doctor to discuss prevention and possible treatment.
Immediately contact your health care provider, call the local emergency number (such as 911), or go to the emergency room if you have:

The longtime barber, who's been styling men's hair for 48 years, is finally putting the scissors and comb down.
Friday was his final day.
"It's going to be tough — an adjustment period for me," said Causey. "I'm going to miss being around all the people and returning customers."
Some of his loyal clients have been coming back for over 35 years and Causey said it would be difficult not catching up with old friends on the same basis.
His storied career began with an apprenticeship in Shaw in 1965 and one year later he opened Eddie's Barbershop on Cleveland's Sharpe Avenue next to the old Grover Hotel.
He was a mainstay there for 36 years before partnering with barber Michael Ray 12 years ago.
The two have formed a solid bond at Mike and Eddie's Barbershop just west of town on Miss. Highway 8.
"We've worked really well together through the years," said Ray. "It's been a good partnership and I wish him the best. I'm certainly going to miss having him here.
Causey attributed the shop's many "best-of" awards to the strong partnership the duo has maintained.
He added that little has changed in his profession since he began, but noted a haircut cost $1.50 in 1965 and costs $15.00 today.
"Other than that, not a whole lot is different," he said. "Overall, it's been a great career.
"I've heard so many stories over the years and I've enjoyed getting to know the public."
With more free time on his hands, Causey can delve further into his many hobbies.
"I'm looking forward to having time for gardening and yard work," Causey said. "I also fly model airplanes at the old airport in Merigold."
He can also be found volunteering at the Martin and Sue King Railroad Heritage Museum downtown, along with performing for the Boundless Love Gospel Singers.
No matter what he's involved with, Causey makes a steadfast difference.
He spent 16 years as the Bolivar County Fire Department's first chief and also volunteered for 30 years with the Bolivar County Emergency Operations Center.
The late Leroy Morganti, a former vice president at Delta State University and one of Causey's devoted customers, wrote about their business/friendship relationship in his weekly Bolivar Commercial column back in 2010.
Below is an excerpt from the column:
I try to save my best jibes for the times when I have a good audience because I can always count on other customers (as well as Eddie 's business partner Mike Ray) to play along with my charades at Eddie 's expense. For example, there was the time I had little cash in my wallet and wrote a check. "Is this check any good?" asked Eddie. "It's as good as that haircut I just got," I quipped. Right on cue, the other patrons and Mike chimed in: "Don't take the check Eddie, don't take it!"
Ray said with all joking aside, his partner deserves a chance to give the scissors a rest.
"I'm glad to see that he's in the position where he can put more time into his hobbies. A lot of folks don't get that opportunity."
Causey said he was afraid of leaving someone out when trying to thank all the supporters, so there was just one special person who received the shout out.
"My wife Martha stood behind me in all the work I did. She was there for all of it."
While the clipping and snipping has come to an end, Causey will always have fond memories of the local clientele that defined his career.
"I'm going to miss all the back and forth talking," he said. "And giving advice — that just comes with the job."

Federal agents search home, business of East Washington man

The Internal Revenue Service and the FBI searched the home and business of East Washington businessman George Retos Wednesday, but did not disclose the nature of their investigation.
David J. Hickton, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, confirmed the investigation Wednesday afternoon.
Hickton said special agents from the FBI and the IRS criminal investigation unit executed search warrants at Retos' business, Prime Plastics, at 100 Detroit Ave., Washington, and his residence at 103 LeMoyne Ave., East Washington, "as part of an ongoing federal investigation."
A neighbor on LeMoyne Avenue who did not want to be identified said officers from the East Washington Police Department, as well as agents from the FBI and IRS, arrived on Retos' property about 9:30 a.m. Agents were seen loading duffel bags into a number of unmarked sport utility vehicles that were parked on and near the property Wednesday afternoon. Agents on the scene said they were not authorized to speak to the press.
An FBI agent on the site of Prime Plastics said Wednesday afternoon that a search warrant was being served, and that daylight shift workers were sent home.
Retos has a past history of income tax problems.
In August 2010, he entered into a civil agreement in U.S. District Court to repay more than $1 million plus penalties and statutory interest for taxes he failed to pay in 1987, 1993, 1995 through 2001 and 2003 through 2006.
In 1992, while serving as legal counsel for the Washington County Authority and Washington County Industrial Development Authority, Retos was indicted by a federal grand jury on criminal charges. Later that year, a federal jury convicted him of evading $95,000 in taxes for 1986 and 1987 and stealing investments entrusted to him by a client by transferring the investment to his name.
Soon afterward, Retos resigned his solicitorships and relinquished his license to practice law.
In 1995, after failing to have his conviction overturned by the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, Retos was sentenced to serve 27 months in a minimum security prison in Morgantown, W.Va. He also was ordered to pay a $30,000 fine and restitution of $42,886 to former clients.
Retos did not return a call seeking a comment on Wednesday's searches.

Coco Sets The Tone In Camp This Week
The more we see Coco Crisp–and we hope to see him at the top of the lineup with
great regularity in 2011–the more we realize this is a player destined to be in
the center of everything this year. The
man has serious flair. It starts in the
parking lot, where his black Rolls Royce convertible is well, noticeable, among
a sea of SUVs.
And this week on the beautifully manicured diamonds of Papago Park
and Phoenix Muni, the A's center fielder seemed to be in The Man in the Middle
everywhere you turned.
On Wednesday, he welcomed
the first female to ever throw batting practice to an Oakland team.
You may have read about 36-year-old Cleveland native Justine Siegal, a long-time player and coach who founded the
non-profit organization Baseball for All, an equal-opportunity advocacy group. She made baseball history this week by
pitching BP to two major league teams–her hometown Indians and our Oakland A's. She was a little nervous at first, throwing
four straight balls to Crisp. But leave
it to Coco, the Class Clown, to help loosen
things up. He kidded back and forth with
Justine, feigning bunts, mock anger and idle threats. It seemed to relax Justine, who proceeded to hurl
a very respectable round of BP. In a
way, it was a metaphor for what Crisp does for his own team. He never lets his teammates forget that
baseball is a game and having fun is mandatory.
But more Coco
in a minute. Let me get back to
Justine. The genesis of this lady facing
our players was this year's Winter Meetings in Orlando, where she approached Billy Beane about gaining the opportunity. Billy said he was happy to give her an
opportunity and that he would have his PR man–that would be me–call her to make
arrangements for Spring Training. I spoke
with Justine a couple of times during the offseason, as we confirmed the date
she would throw and the logistics for her to get outfitted in an A's uniform
and when we would meet in Arizona. It was such a pleasure to finally meet her
and learn more about her foundation and why she so badly wanted to pitch to
Major Leaguers. Her sole purpose was to
break down any barriers or prejudices towards girls or women reaching their
dreams and potential in the game of baseball.
For so many years, 13-year-old girls have been told it, "hey you were a
great Little Leaguer playing with the boys but it's time to switch over to
softball. You might as well because
there no next level for you in baseball."
Justine's message–her life's work, really–is to tell America and the
world that there should be no limits placed on who plays baseball or at what
age or level. She points out that nearly
half of all Major League Baseball fans are women, a sector of the population
which loves the game every bit as much as men do. So why can't they play hardball as long as
they wish? I think what struck me most
about Justine was simply her fearless mindset that day. A solitary, almost lonely figure, she showed
tremendous courage. While some in the
audience may have thought she had very little in common with the A's players
she faced–Crisp, David DeJesus, Daric Barton and Landon Powell–I thought just the opposite. All athletes must show courage in laying it
all on the line, and on that day, I could see that our players understood and
respected what Justine was doing. They
knew it took real guts.
Fear and intimidation could have crept into your mind at any given
moment ("What if I can't throw any strikes and ruin their batting
practice? What if Landon crushes me with
a come-backer?"). I don't want to overstate
what she achieved that day, but in many ways, it may very well be the first
step towards a future Jackie Robinson moment in
breaking another barrier. I can remember
speaking with African American and Latin players who played in the majors in
the 60's. They said it would not have
been possible if they had not earlier dreamt of becoming big league ballplayers.
But before Jackie broke that barrier, young Black and Latino players
never even dreamt of the possibility. So, as our new Aussie addition Grant Balfour might say, "Good on ya, Justine!"
As for Coco,
his week had just begun. Thursday was
Photo Day for the media at Phoenix Muni, with team photographer Michael Zagaris, AP Photo, Comcast Sports Net, MLB Photos and
several newspaper and trading card companies on hand, as well as about 25 or 30
photographers and TV camera people representing Japanese media outlets. The charismatic Crisp, in rather dramatic
fashion, made the group wait as team stretch neared. Starting at 7 o'clock that morning, every A's
coach and player had already gone through the gauntlet. We all were waiting for Crisp before we could
call it quits. Seemingly out of the
morning mist, No. 4 appeared at the final minute, all smiles and giggles. I could not imagine a better closer for Photo
Then yesterday, it was Coco who set the tone at A's camp yet again. As the team's second intrasquad game of camp
was about to commence, Dallas Braden
peered from the mound as he awaited Crisp's arrival into the batter's box. When Crisp strode into the box, we noticed
something slightly different about his well-tailored uniform. He had stuck a piece of tape on the back of
his jersey above his number. It seemed
to be a hyphenated word. As we looked
closer, we could read it: "A-Rod." Braden, not to be outdone, decided to have a
little fun of his own. He wound up and
then uncorked one of the of most unlikely first pitches of any scrimmage in memory. It looped high above–and behind–Coco. The sorriest knock down pitch I have ever
seen. Needless to say, Coco
had no problem whatsoever digging in for the next pitch. Ah, there's nothing quite like a cup of Coco in the morning.
As the old postcard used to say, "Wish you were here."

Updated: February 3, 2013 6:26AM
WASHINGTON — The drawn-out fiscal cliff drama ended Tuesday night with the House sending President Barack Obama legislation that averts tax hikes that would have socked every earner in the nation.
The bill passed the House on a 257-167 bipartisan vote, coming with only hours to spare since the new Congress is being sworn-in at noon Thursday.
Shortly after the bill was passed, Obama talked about the "messy nature of the process" of the past few weeks that led to the compromise. Minutes later, he departed to fly back to Hawaii to resume his holiday vacation with his family.
"The fact is the deficit is still too high and we are still investing too little in the things that we need for the economy to grow as fast as it should," said Obama.
He noted that at earlier stages, he tried with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) for a bigger deal. "Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough support or time for that kind of large agreement in a lame duck session of Congress."
Obama also dared Republicans to trigger another battle over the looming need to raise the debt ceiling. Congressional Republicans are already planning to do this to try to dictate spending cuts.
"I will not have another debate with this Congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that they have already racked up through the laws they have passed," said Obama.
The president had yet to set a date to sign Tuesday's bill.
Highlights of the deal call for income-tax rates to rise for individuals with incomes above $400,000 and married couples who earn above $450,000 — a level that represents a Democratic concession — since Obama had campaigned on boosting taxes on households making more than $250,000. Capital gains taxes would also rise for these higher-income earners.
Estates above $5 million would be taxed more — from 35 percent to 40 percent, despite efforts by the GOP for no increase. Unemployment benefits set to expire would be extended for one more year.
Had Congress taken no action, federal tax hikes and a series of deep cuts in Pentagon and domestic spending would have started to be implemented starting Wednesday. Under the deal, those cuts will be postponed for two months.
And while Obama prevailed in his quest to have the wealthy pay more, the price he paid is another exhausting battle in a few weeks over spending cuts, this time linked to raising the nation's debt ceiling.
The vote came after a chaotic and historic 24 hours on Capitol Hill, starting at about 2 a.m. Eastern time Tuesday when the Senate approved — on a 89-8 bipartisan roll call — a fiscal cliff deal negotiated between Vice President Joe Biden and House Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Less than 12 hours later, the deal almost unraveled when conservative GOP House members — some with roots in the Tea Party movement — led by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said at a closed-door meeting they would not support the Senate bill because it did not cut spending enough.
The internal GOP wrangling magnified festering divisions between Cantor and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). If the House GOP derailed the bipartisan Senate deal, House Republicans were exposed to the very real political possibility that they would be blamed for saddling everyone with tax hikes in order to preserve tax breaks for top earners.
At a second closed-door meeting of GOP House members on Tuesday afternoon, moderate members who spoke out, including Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.), urged colleagues to take a reality check and not throw out the tax package.
The breakthrough came when Boehner made two key decisions. In order to address the concerns of the conservatives, he whipped, or polled, GOP members, asking them if they would support an amendment with deeper spending cuts. It failed to win support.
Next — and most crucial — Boehner allowed an up-or-down vote, putting aside Tuesday night governing through the "Hastert Rule," named for former House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) whereby no legislation gets to the floor not supported by the party in power.
Obama and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had been urging the up-or-down vote knowing that there would be enough Democratic votes to get to the 217 needed for passage. While there was some angst among Democratic progressives, there was no serious threat of Democratic defections.
The House vote ended a showdown that was entirely self-inflicted because of the congressionally imposed Dec. 31 fiscal cliff deadline installed in order to force members to act on the growing debt and deficit. Those harder questions, for now, will be left for another day.
In interviews, Democrats and GOP lawmakers from Illinois said each side gained in the compromise.
Rep. Bob Dold (R-Ill.) called the measure a "good deal," noting that "we are keeping rates low" for most U.S. workers.
"I do hope that there are going to be other opportunities to talk about reining in spending because we have to do that," Dold said.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said while Obama got his higher taxes on the wealthy, "in the long run, we do have to have a spending fight in this country."
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) said, "we stopped taxes going up for 98 percent of Americans. We asked the rich to pay more. For the first time in 20 years, Republicans are being force to vote for higher taxes. This is a good deal."
Said Kinzinger of the next round of fiscal fights, within a few months, "this is all going to be down-to-the-wire stuff again."

The new front pivot brackets are fully welded, painted, and ready to bolt into existing holes in your CJ frame. Spacers (plastic) are provided for the purpose of different winch mounting possibilities, and/or if you want to use our frame plates. The shackles provided in this system are 3/8 inch thick steel, zinc plated gold. The mounting method for the shackles is unique with this system. You must drill a hole in each frame rail, then weld in 2 inch wide steel tubes. Polyurethane bushings insert into the tubes which support the shackle plates. The shackles hang from each side of the frame rails. This method of attachment keeps the drive shaft and caster angles as close to stock as possible, and gives ample clearance for off road obstacles. This system will work with stock springs and after market 'lift' springs, however, it will not provide any lift in itself. It will work with springs under the axle (stock set-up) or if you have installed the springs over the axles (custom).
This system is upgraded with wider (2.5") tubes to insert in the frame so you can install the wider Jeep YJ Wrangler springs. Why you ask? The Wrangler springs typically have a softer spring rate then CJ's adding flexibility and ride quality. This system comes with the pivot brackets fully welded and painted, all hardware and instructions included.

When we would go home, we would go past what is known as the DDO now, and the prisoners were kept in the northwest corner. This was the closest corner to home . . . . . They weren't belligerent or anything. The only times I saw them; they were always dressed in blue fatigues like army fatigues. They had POW written in white across their backs. They would be out cleaning up the area and shoveling. They always seemed to be happy. They sometimes would be singing. They would stop and watch everybody that went by. They would never yell at them. They just watched what was going on. Sometimes when you went by, you would see those marching or doing calisthenics or something. They all seemed happy. -Lois Polson

Last week drivers along Highway 101 south of Willits were greeted on the east side by people and signs protesting the pending bypass and on the west side by a large sign supporting the bypass.
Kurt Ackermann decided he had to make a statement on the bypass, and chose to spend a few hours parked on Highway 101 to do it.
Ackermann wanted to make it clear he was not protesting, he was simply making a statement.
"We spent over 50 years deciding what to build," says Ackermann. "We needed a bypass and finally got the money to do it. Then Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger gave it to Southern California.
"The community then got together and worked to get it back," says Ackermann. "We looked at 17 different routes in a lot of heated meetings to end up where we are.
Ackermann recently had a heart attack and just returned to Willits after spending time in a hospital in St. Helena when he decided he had to make his statement.
Across the highway from Ackermann, Warbler remains in her protest tree. The high point in the past few weeks for her, besides CalTrans heading back to the drawing board, was the visit by a class from the Tree of Life Montessori School. Warbler used a walkie-talkie to read the Dr. Seuss book, "The Lorax," to the youngsters. The students ate a picnic lunch and then left to meet with the CalTrans Project Manager Geoffrey Wright to get his point of view.
Warbler has not lacked for company this week, with people showing up at all hours to serenade her with home spun songs or just to wave in support. Despite the influx of people Warbler notes, she feels an "odd sense of isolation" as she perches 70 feet in the air.
She is encouraged by the current CalTrans delay saying, "The birds will protect the trees." Warbler hopes everyone will take the bypass footprint tour to educate themselves about the project.
As of press time, she was preparing for the arrival of the first storm system in weeks, relying on her tarps and sleeping bags to keep her dry and warm. Recent reports of her feelings of nausea caused by the tree swaying in the wind have prompted a host of homeopathic remedies from the community.
The oncoming storm may put these to a new test.

If no new trial for Peterson, he might be sentenced today
BY DAN ROZEK, JON SEIDEL AND JANET LUNDQUIST Staff Reporters February 20, 2013 10:34AM
Drew Peterson was convicted of killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio. | Police photo
Article Extras
Updated: March 22, 2013 10:27AM
Drew Peterson's lawyers argued Wednesday that Joel Brodsky, their former lead co-counsel, made "awful" decisions and ran their legal team like a dictatorship.
Whether Brodsky's alleged steamrolling of his fellow lawyers and other alleged trial errors were so egregious that Peterson deserves a new trial is up to Will County Judge Edward Burmila. He said he'll announce his decision Thursday afternoon.
If he shoots down Peterson's request — as most legal experts expect — he has told attorneys on both sides to be prepared for sentencing. Peterson, 59, a former Bolingbrook cop, was found guilty last summer of the 2004 murder of Kathleen Savio, his third wife. He faces up to 60 years in prison.
Peterson's remaining attorneys pulled no punches Wednesday in their last-ditch bid to win a do-over from Burmila. Defense lawyer Steve Greenberg said Brodsky orchestrated an unprecedented pretrial media blitz and used Peterson as a pawn to further his own career.
He said Brodsky didn't simply put the most damning witness against Peterson on the stand during the trial. He said Brodsky reinforced former Savio divorce attorney Harry Smith's damaging testimony by asking repeated questions.
Smith told the jury that Drew Peterson's now-missing fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, told him that Drew Peterson had killed Savio. After they convicted Peterson for Savio's drowning death, many jurors pointed to Smith's testimony as key to their decision.
"Harry Smith's testimony was probably the most incriminating piece of evidence that was brought out against Mr. Peterson," Greenberg said Wednesday. "And it was brought out by the defense."
Brodsky dismissed as "delusions" the claims that he dominated Peterson's legal team, and he insisted that Greenberg and other attorneys had agreed to call Harry Smith as a witness.
"Harry was the consensus opinion of all the attorneys," Brodsky said outside the courtroom, contending he had been made a scapegoat for Peterson's conviction.
"Drew got a good defense," Brodsky said.
Prosecutors said the decision to call Smith to the stand — whether made unilaterally by Brodsky or jointly with his co-counsel — was a strategic decision that can't be challenged.
Peterson first fell under broad suspicion for Savio's death after Stacy Peterson disappeared in 2007. Her sister, Cassandra Cales, agreed with Brodsky on Wednesday that all members of Peterson's defense team were responsible for the conviction.
Cales expects Peterson to get the maximum sentence because he was a police officer.
"Even if he gets the minimum 20 years," Cales said, "that's technically life for him, because he's an old man."

As you know, a prospective groom will occasionally attend marriage counseling to find out how committed he is to things like potpourri appearing in unexpected places around the house and not ordering takeout seven days a week. Similarly, male guests attending a summer wedding should also undergo a degree of style counseling. Because your goal is to dress so that others stand out, and like a successful relationship, this can sometimes be a tricky thing to pull off. Your presence is requested. When the invitation arrives, pay attention to what it says. If a certain ... Read the full story »

Yes, women negotiate less. Here's what to do about it.
We all know the facts: Women negotiate four times less than men. Women are not raised to negotiate or be outspoken. Women assume we'll be recognized instead of asking for recognition. All of this results in lower starting pay, fewer raises, and lowered lifetime earning potential over the course of our careers.
We all know the facts. But how can we use those facts to empower us to make change in our own lives and careers?
One of the best talks I've heard on the topic was at this year's POWER: Opening Doors for Women. Selena Rezvani, author of Pushback: How Smart Women Ask and Stand Up for What They Want, focused her talk, "The Art of the Ask," on how women can use their natural strengths to guide them in successful negotiations. For those who want an in-depth look at this topic, I highly recommend picking up her book. Here are some of my favorite takeaways from her POWER presentation.
- Men will apply for a job when they have 60 percent of the listed requirements. Women will apply for a job when they have 100 percent of the requirements. Part of the challenge is reaching for what we want and deserve. As Ms. Rezvani notes, "If you never hear 'no' in your career, you're not asking for enough."
- When you get asked a question on a specific topic and you don't have a complete answer, lead with what you do know – then follow up with the points that you will proceed to research and find out.
- While women may be uncomfortable with self-promotion – and in fact,may often be penalized for it – sticking to the facts that prove your accomplishments can "bring the charge down in the conversation." After all, "If it's true, it's not bragging."
- Before the negotiation, identify both your position – "I want to be promoted to senior vice president" – and your interests that underscore your position–"I'm bored in my current role, I want more exposure in the new department," etc. Those interests allow you to negotiate from a place of strength, as it opens up more ways to find success in the negotiation.
- Have a Plan A, B and C. A variety of alternatives allows you a chance to say, "Well, how about…" and keep the conversation moving. Keep pitching new ideas to get more of what you want.
- Use a 'tailored strategy' to fit your audience. Get in their mindset before the negotiation and know what's important to them. What is their 'GPS' (Goals, Passions, Struggles)? Craft your pitch to help them achieve their interests, solve their current problems or feed their passion projects.
- In the opening moments, build rapport with your audience. Be the first to speak. This allows you to control the order and pace of the conversation, and to declare your optimism: "I'm confident we're going to come up with a solution that works for both of us."
- Don't use 'dis-qualifiers': those "This may be a silly idea, but"; "I'm not an expert, but" prefixes that women all too commonly tack onto their statements. Give ideas affirmatively and avoid a questioning tone.
- Use 'I' statements – I think, I feel, I believe – sparingly. Stick to data and facts that prove your point.
- Know the power of the pause. Be quiet strategically. A 5-7 second pause right after your make your request and right after you get your answer forces your negotiating partner to fill the silence.
- Be aware of your non-verbal (physical) communication. If there's a conflict between your verbal communication and your non-verbal communication, people will believe the non-verbal. You may think you're nodding along to show that you're listening, but it may be interpreted as agreement. Remain neutral.
- Ask deepening questions. Comments like, How did you arrive at that; are you willing to negotiate that; what's the cost of us not coming to an agreement both keep the conversation moving and insists on objective criteria.
- If you are experiencing significant pushback, take a break or delay. Call on your options packages – but don't share them all at once.
- Remember the 70/20/10 rule. That is: 70 percent of the negotiation should be spent listening to the other person; 20 percent should be spent mirroring back what you've just heard; and 10 percent should be spent pushing your own agenda. This makes the other side feel heard.
- When closing, confirm and summarize what was said. Offer to write it up, allowing you to formalize the agreement in your own terms.
- And remember: if you don't like the terms now, you will likely hate them later. Come to an agreement that allows a win/win.

In particular I am looking for: -Best beach towels (in terms of comfort, absorbability (is that a word?), and speed of sun-drying) -Comfortable, quality sunglasses that are inexpensive (I lose at least one pair in the ocean every year!) -Sandals/flip flops asked Jun 03 '11 at 12:01 oliver |
Not in your requested categories, but I find a good shovel to be indispensable for both setting up on the beach and also for playing on the beach. We use a great compact shovel, the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel and have made the day of many kids who have run up and begged to borrow it. The edges have very slightly rusted after years of beach use but it would probably wipe off if we were worried about it. The only potential concern is that the edges are pretty sharp, you have to make sure kids respect this shovel and don't thwack siblings with it. :) linkanswered Jun 15 '11 at 08:57 ubizubi |
Panama Jack Polarized. Usually around ten bucks, they never break. My Oakleys break, these don't, figures. linkanswered Jun 04 '11 at 16:02 Christopher |
Sandal/flip flop Anything with leather/fabric will take a long time to dry. I have a pair of $9 old navy flip flops that serve me well at beaches, pools, and short walks. They're cheap, all rubber/plastic (dry quickly, clean easily). They're not good for long walks but are perfect for ro om/car to beach/pool. I've always considered the Reef Fanning line for the in-sole bottle opener but I can never justify the price (plus there are so many ways to open a bottle that are cleaner than the bottom of my flip flop!) There are definitely better flops and sandals around; I'll be following this thread. linkanswered Jun 10 '11 at 04:19 Botha |
Sun hatI highly recommend a sun hat of some sort. I currently have a cheap and cheerful hat I bought from Amazon UK, but pretty much anything that keeps the sun off your face will help to keep you cool, while also reducing the appearance of aging and the probability of skin cancer. Also keeps rain off if the weather takes a sudden turn for the worse (I did mention that I live in the UK, right?) ;) linkanswered Jun 13 '11 at 06:53 AJfinch |
Every single thing that is required while going to beach or in water is important. So make a list of it and don't forget to grab all the stuff. To enjoy the underwater scene I would recommend you to go with swimming goggles from contact lens heaven, which would be protecting your eyes from infections as well will be giving you the clear view to enjoy everything beneath the water. linkanswered May 27 '14 at 01:01 |

When I first saw Snyder's of Hanover Multi-Grain French Onion Sunflower Chips, I thought these chips might just have a bit too much going on to be any good - Multigrain AND French-onion AND sunflower! That's a lot to pack into a little chip. Still I gave them the benefit of the doubt because it sure sounded good.
After eating a few of these chips (okay - the entire bag), I can't say if I was impressed or disappointed. These look like SunChips, which I totally adore - crispy, salty, healthy - what's not to love?! Snyder's is also crispy and crunchy, but much more airy than SunChips. They also have a nice rustic texture, but I found them to be a little bland and under-seasoned. The French Onion flavor was extremely mild - and even non-existent on several chips. I don't know if they skimped on seasoning to keep the sodium lower than SunChips, but you do notice it.
One serving of Snyder's of Hanover Multi-Grain French Onion Sunflower Chips (16 chips) contains 140 calories, 6 grams of total fat, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, a low 190 mg sodium, and 2 grams of fiber and protein. A 14 ounce bag costs around $3, which is comparable to most brands of chips.
The stats are similar to most other chips that we have covered and you can even buy both the French Onion and Cheddar varieties in 100-calorie packs, but for overall quality, you can't beat ... yeah, you guessed it, SunChips!

Though my husband failed to see the humor in this design, I'm hoping your sense of humor is more like mine. I simply took two of my favorite things - snowmen & roosters - put them in a funny situation & created this unique sweatshirt. The applique shapes are made from a combination of wool or wool felt & cotton fabrics, then appliqued in place with a primitive stitch done in black thread. Fast & fun to make, I hope you agree that This Rooster Ain't Right, but he does tickle your funny bone. Designed by Ellen Replogle

For seven months, Joe Upton steered his thirty-foot boat, the Doreen, through the open channels and narrow, twisting passageways of Southeast Alaska, living the life of an itinerant commercial fisherman far from home. This is his award-winning account of that season—the lonely hours at sea as well as the close community of the fishing fleet; the sudden, violent storms and glorious days of sun; the difficult, frenzied work and quiet moments of contemplation. In this new third edition from Epicenter Press, Alaska Blues remains a powerful evocation of time and place—of a people and their way of life, and haunting, beautiful shores that draw them back, season after season.
"Alaska Blues is the moving, true account of a season of fishing, living on the edge, surviving not only on the whims of nature but also the shifting fortunes of the fishing industry." --Palo Alto, California, Daily News
"One of the most unique sea sags ever written…wonderfully awash in salt air and water." --Ernest K. Gann, author of The High and the Mighty
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Joe Upton was a commercial fisherman for 25 years in Alaska and Maine. He lives with his wife on Bainbridge Island, Washington, and Vinalhaven Island, Maine.

Looking for TV Sound Solutions?
Start shoppingUnderstanding Surround Sound Formats
Because most people, from surround sound novices to A/V experts, find surround sound formats a little confusing, we've provided quick descriptions below of many common formats. You can also take a look at our surround formats chart for an even faster summary. If you're looking for tips on getting surround sound in your home theater, check out Dave's article on How to Avoid Common Home Theater Pitfalls.
Before we get started, there are a few general terms and concepts you should know.
5.1: 5.1 surround sound is the most common format. It includes a total of six channels — five full-bandwidth channels with 3-20,000 Hz frequency range for front left and right, center, and left and right surrounds, plus one "low frequency effects" (LFE) subwoofer channel for frequencies from 3-120 Hz. 6.1 and 7.1 surround sound systems are also available, and simply add another full-bandwidth channel to the mix. (To see how the speakers are arranged in a multichannel surround system, check out the diagrams in our guide to home theater speaker placement.)
Discrete: Some channels are considered "discrete" — that means that the sound information contained in each of the available channels is distinct and independent from the others.
Matrixed: Other channels are considered "matrixed" — that means that the sound information in those channels is extrapolated from information in other channels. Though you'll notice more precise surround effects from discrete channels, you can still expect engaging sound from matrixed channels.
Lossless: Most surround formats are compressed so that they're small enough to be stored or transmitted — on a DVD, for example, or in a satellite TV broadcast. But now, some higher-capacity Blu-ray Discs™ can hold lossless surround soundtracks that are identical to the original studio recording. The higher quality of these formats makes for more detailed audio.
5.1-channel surround
As we stated above, 5.1-channel surround sound is the most common home theater configuration today. And there are two main formats that deliver surround sound for 5.1-channel systems.
Dolby Digital
Dolby® Digital quickly established itself as a reigning surround format, largely thanks to DVDs. These days, it's also used in video games and HDTV programming. Although Dolby Digital, strictly speaking, is simply a method of encoding audio information digitally, the term is often used to refer to 5.1-channel audio — its most popular form. In discussing Dolby Digital surround sound, we'll be focusing on this multichannel format.
Unlike earlier forms of surround sound, Dolby Digital 5.1-channel audio is a "discrete" multichannel surround sound system. With six discrete channels, sounds can be placed very precisely, for improved dialogue clarity, imaging, spaciousness, and realism. You also get a dedicated subwoofer channel, for plenty of deep bass.
Like Dolby Digital, DTS® provides 5.1 channels of digital audio. However, DTS uses less compression than Dolby Digital. As a result, some say that the sound produced by DTS is slightly more accurate than the sound produced by Dolby Digital. While most audio/video receivers will have both Dolby Digital and DTS, fewer DVDs and video games are encoded with DTS, compared to the number encoded with Dolby Digital.
6.1-channel surround
Although 5.1-channel is still the most popular surround format, and many of the home theater systems being sold today are 5.1-channel systems, 6.1-channel audio is also a common option. A 6.1-channel system delivers an even more enveloping surround effect than a 5.1-channel system. Let's take a look at the main options. (To see a typical 6.1-channel setup, check out the diagrams in our guide to home theater speaker placement.)
DTS-ES™ uses existing digital multichannel technology to deliver the "5.1" channels of regular DTS, plus it adds a discrete, full-bandwidth back surround channel. Although more movies are encoded for Dolby Digital EX (see below) than for DTS-ES, there are still plenty. And today's 6.1-channel receivers are likely to have both formats.
Dolby Digital EX and THX Surround EX
Dolby Labs and THX collaborated to come up with their own solution to 6.1-channel surround sound, too. They do essentially the same thing, both adding a matrixed back surround channel for use in a 6.1-channel speaker system, in order to provide an even more complete 360° soundstage. (If you have a 7.1 surround system, the same audio information will go to both of your back surround speakers.)
Many DVDs are encoded for Dolby Digital EX, and have that extra channel of surround information ready to go. Also, if you're playing a regular Dolby Digital 5.1-channel DVD, a Dolby Digital EX or THX Surround EX™ decoder will simulate 6.1-channel surround by processing the audio information in the discrete surround channels and sending the matrixed audio info to your back surround speaker(s) as well.
7.1-channel surround
In addition to HD video, today's Blu-ray disc formats can also support more detailed audio. Most Blu-ray disc players support 7.1 audio formats, and some even offer high-quality, lossless surround sound.
While your high-def disc player and receiver may be able to decode these new surround sound formats, it's important to note that not all discs you play will take advantage of them. Be sure to check out the details on the Blu-ray discs you watch to see which audio format they use. You'll also want to connect your player to a compatible receiver using your disc player's 7.1-analog audio outputs or a compatible HDMI output (version 1.3).
Lossless surround sound formats
The newest high-resolution surround formats, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD™ Master Audio, offer up to 7.1 discrete channels of lossless audio. Along with adding two extra rear channels to the standard Dolby Digital and DTS formats, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio discs are encoded with more audio information per channel. In fact, it's identical to the movie studio's original master. That means the improved directionality and more precise effects makes it even closer to the experience of being in a movie theater.
Additional discrete 7.1-channel surround formats
You may find that some Blu-ray discs are also encoded with other discrete 7.1-channel surround formats. Dolby Laboratories and DTS developed Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD (High Resolution), respectively. These formats deliver 7.1 independent channels of sound. They provide more detailed surround effects than 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS, though they aren't lossless like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Receivers that support lossless 7.1-channel formats will also support Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD (High Resolution).
Matrixed surround decoding for older sources
If you use a stereo analog connection to your receiver, or are connecting older equipment like a VCR, your receiver may employ one of these types of processing to decode the signal. Dolby Pro Logic II includes two independent full-bandwidth surround channels, three matrixed surround channels, and a dedicated low-frequency channel for your subwoofer. Many recent home theater receivers also offer Pro Logic IIx processing, which can turn the same sources into even more enveloping 7.1-channel sound.
Receivers with Dolby Pro Logic II and IIx give extra intensity to the thousands of VHS movies and TV broadcasts recorded in either stereo or older 4-channel Dolby Surround. They also include special modes tailored to turning stereo music into realistic surround sound.
DTS Neo:6 is essentially identical to Pro Logic II — it's simply the processing DTS came up with to deliver 5.1 or 6.1 channels of sound from a two-channel stereo source. And just like Pro Logic II, it delivers a convincing surround sound experience.
"Height" channels for a taller soundstage
A few receivers offer a newer surround sound format called Dolby Pro Logic IIz. It adds two "height" channels to your front soundstage. These speakers typically mount on the wall above your existing front left and right speakers.
A receiver with Pro Logic IIz can divvy up the front soundstage audio. It sends directional sounds — like a car racing by — to your regular front speakers, and non-directional sounds — like the roar of a crowd at a stadium — to the height channels. The result is a larger, deeper front soundstage, and a more immersive experience.
Dolby Atmos® adds overhead sound to the mix
This innovative surround sound format uses in-ceiling or Dolby-enabled upward-firing speakers to project sound from above your seating positions. Receivers with Dolby Atmos capability can create an incredibly immersive listening experience by placing sounds more accurately in the room than conventional setups.
Dolby Atmos soundtracks use two distinct sound fields to achieve these effects. The "bed" consists of stationary sounds such as background sound and music. "Objects" are assigned specific locations in the three-dimensional listening space, which the in-ceiling or Dolby Atmos enabled "top" speakers help bring to life with depth and realism.
"My receiver has other surround formats, too"
Sometimes manufacturers will put their own special processing in a receiver, often called Digital Signal Processing (DSP), in addition to the formats described above. Many home theater receivers use Digital Signal Processing to create soundfields — simulated acoustic environments, like a concert hall or stadium — and for precise steering of multichannel soundtrack information. This feature may go by different names, depending on the manufacturer. Check your owner's manual for details about your receiver's DSP modes.

(Camargo, IL) The 25th Annual UNOH Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by RacingJunk.com is just about ready to kick into high gear in the Buckeye State. Always a week to look forward to for the past 25 years, this year proves to be no different as a $15,000 point fund is in place to be distributed amongst the Top 10 in points at the end of the week. In addition, the Speedweek promoters have offered a $50,000 bonus to any driver who can win 4 of the 7 events. Will there be a $50,000 winner in 2007?Drivers were required to pre-register to be eligible for the Speedweek point fund and the bonus money and currently there are 48 drivers scheduled to compete for the additional money at week's end. There is over $197,000 up for grabs just in scheduled purse money alone. In addition, HoserVille Ohio has stepped up to sponsor the All Star Dash which will pay money to the top dash finishers from the week in a special dash event at the Eldora finale. Ohio Sprint Speedweek is one of the richest weeks of racing in the United States and has attracted many of the top names of the sport from across the country and as far away as Australia.The week kicks off (unofficially) at K-C Raceway on Saturday June 23rd for the annual "Night The Stars Come Out". This event does not pay points toward the Speedweek point fund, but is always a good warm-up for the following 7 straight nights of racing through Ohio. The official Speedweek kickoff is on Sunday June 24th at Attica Raceway Park, then on Monday it's on to Wayne County Speedway. From there the series moves to Waynesfield Motor Sports Park for the first time and will then travel to Hilltop Speedway on Wednesday for another first ever visit. On Thursday, it's back to familiar Fremont Speedway and then on to Limaland Motorsports Park on Friday. Saturday's $10,000 to win Speedweek finale will be held at the monster ½ mile Eldora Speedway. Visit www.ohiospeedweek.com for more information on the Speedweek tracks and for the Driver Pre-Entry List.
