Two former Vandy players convicted of rape, two still await trial
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday8 hrs agoA jury has convicted two former Vanderbilt football players of raping a fellow student.
Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey were found guilty of aggravated rape and aggravated sexual battery. The victim was a 21-year-old neuroscience and economics major at the time of the June 2013 attack.
Both men, who are 21— Batey turned 21 on Tuesday — face several years in prison when they are sentenced on March 6.
The jury, which took just three hours to deliberate, heard two weeks of testimony from several witness, including police, former and current Vanderbilt students and the victim, who said she couldn't remember the attack. The only thing she could remember was drinking with Vandenburg and waking up in a strange dorm room.
However, cell phone photos taken by the perpetrators and surveillance video from the dormitory told the story. Closed-circuit video showed the players carrying an unconscious woman into an elevator and down a hallway. It also showed players taking pictures of the unconscious woman in compromising positions before dragging her into the dorm room.
Marcus Mariota's brother, Matthew, will join Oregon as a walk-on defensive lineman
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday13 hrs agoThe Mariota Era is officially not over at Oregon.
Matthew Mariota, brother of Heisman-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota, has elected to walk-on at Oregon, according to a report by KHON2.
Matthew Mariota is a 6-foot-3, 230-pound defensive lineman, who played both end and outside linebacker in high school.
He does not have a page on any of the major recruiting sites, but was an Interscholastic League of Honolulu honorable mention selection.
Marcus Mariota elected to forego his senior season and enter the NFL draft. He is currently working out in San Diego while training for the NFL combine in late February.

Two Iowa running backs cited for disorderly house
Sam Cooper at Dr. Saturday14 hrs agoTwo Iowa running backs reportedly had a little too much fun on Saturday night.
According to the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Jonathan Parker and Akrum Wadley were cited for a "disorderly house" charge after Iowa City Police were called to a loud party.
The complainant reported "yelling and an outside party" and Parker and Wadley, both 19, were "issued citations for the scene." The two are scheduled to appear in court for the incident on Feb. 11.
Wadley apparently wasn't too discrete about the party, either. He sent an invite for the party "to the entire (Iowa) class of 2017" on Facebook.
Both backs were redshirt freshmen for the Hawkeyes in 2014. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Wadley, a native of Newark, N.J., rushed for 186 yards and a score on 33 carries, most of which came in a 106-yard effort in a win over Northwestern on Nov. 1.
Parker, a 5-foot-8, 180-pound back from St. Louis, Mo., had 141 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries in 2014. He also caught three passes for 42 yards and led the team with 531 kick return yards.
Oklahoma safety cited for drug, alcohol-related misdemeanors
Sam Cooper at Dr. Saturday16 hrs agoOklahoma safety Hatari Byrd was cited by Norman Police following an incident early Saturday morning.
According to the Tulsa World, the 20-year-old Byrd was cited "on complaints of possession of drug paraphernalia by a minor and possession of alcohol by a minor." He was pulled over after being observed "driving left and of the center line and right of lane markers and speeding" after 2 a.m. on Jan. 24.
After being pulled over, Byrd was reportedly found to be in possession of a small bag of marijuana in the driver's seat. There was also a bottle of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey reportedly "in the passenger floorboard."
Byrd was cited for two misdemeanor offenses and then "released from the scene."
When asked for comment on Byrd's citation, an OU spokesperson told SoonerScoop.com that the program "is aware of the matter and it is being handled internally."
Nebraska commit upset by Michigan coach's remark during visit
Sam Cooper at Dr. Saturday17 hrs agoMichigan has been doing all it can in order to salvage its 2015 recruiting class in the weeks since Jim Harbaugh arrived on campus. When Harbaugh was hired, the Wolverines had just six verbal commitments. Since then, Michigan has flipped three committed prospects, including former Nebraska commit Reuben Jones.
This week the Wolverines were after another Nebraska pledge, three-star defensive end DaiShon Neal.
This one didn't work out quite as well for the Wolverines as Neal announced Tuesday morning that he is committed to Nebraska.
Oregon governor follows through on national title bet with Ohio governor
Sam Cooper at Dr. Saturday18 hrs agoIt turns out that this Oregon fan with a brand new Ohio State tattoo wasn't the only one who put a wager on the College Football Playoff National Championship. The governors of Oregon and Ohio did too.
Per the Columbus Dispatch, Oregon governor John Kitzhaber followed through on the bet this week by sending Ohio governor John Kasich "cheese, honey and jam from the Beaver State." The package arrived Monday morning, two weeks after the Buckeyes knocked off the Ducks, 42-20.
Additionally, a six-pack of Total Domination IPA from Ninkasi Brewing in Eugene is en route to Kasich's office. It was shipped separately.
If Oregon pulled out the victory, Kasich was prepared to ship out "a six-pack of Columbus Brewing Co. IPA, buckeye candy and a tray of lasagna from the Monte Carlo restaurant in Westerville."
5-star RB says he's choosing either ITT Tech or University of Phoenix (Video)
Sam Cooper at Dr. Saturday19 hrs agoWith National Signing Day coming next Wednesday, five-star running back Soso Jamabo – the top-rated player in the state of Texas according to Rivals.com – has a big decision to make.
While he's taken official visits to Texas and Texas A&M in recent weeks, he's also considering two other off the radar schools: University of Phoenix and ITT Tech.
I just wanna thank God.. pic.twitter.com/cdnMiGzNQ4
Of course, University of Phoenix and ITT Tech are both online universities and neither have a football program, so Jamabo is having some fun and joking around about the hectic recruiting process.
The Longhorns are considered by some to be the favorite to land the 6-foot-2, 201-pound Jamabo, but Jamabo is also considering UCLA, Texas A&M, Baylor and Notre Dame.
Jamabo, a native of Plano, Texas, is the fourth-best running back and the No. 22 overall prospect in the class of 2015 according to Rivals.com.
He'll reportedly announce his decision on signing day.

Arkansas' Jeff Long re-elected as CFP chairman
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday1 day agoArkansas athletic director Jeff Long has been re-elected as the chairman of the College Football Playoff committee.
"Jeff has been a terrific chair and I am delighted that the committee elected him to serve again," executive director Bill Hancock said in a statement. "Jeff is a thoughtful and dedicated leader who conducted the meetings skillfully. He also did a very good job answering questions about the rankings so fans could gain insight into the committee's decisions. It's clear that he has the full respect and confidence of the other committee members."
Long served as the committee chairman during the inaugural season and took a lot of heat throughout the year by pundits and fans for the lack of consistency in the committee's weekly voting. Long often was left to explain during ESPN's weekly rankings show the reasoning behind the committee's decisions.
He was also the target of ire from Baylor and TCU fans, who thought the two Big 12 teams were treated unfairly during the final week of the rankings.
Penn State's James Franklin will not settle for your 'B' grade
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday1 day agoOversharing is a rampant problem on social media and Penn State defensive back Bryant Harper learned the consequences of that Monday.
Harper tweeted out that he received a "B" on his first anatomy exam and he was proud of the grade because he didn't actually study for the test.
Unfortunately for Harper, coach James Franklin is an avid @HarperJR21 follower and decided to chime in on his player's boasting.
@HarperJR21 you didn't study huh, interesting, guess I need to up your study hall hours! We don't settle for B's!
Franklin was probably kidding (or was he?), but it's a good lesson to always think about what you tweet even if it seems like a good thing.
Harper quickly blamed the lack of studying on a scheduling issue.
@coachjfranklin forget when the exam was coach minor difficulty in my scheduling!
He should have hastagged it "#collegeadvisors #amirite."
Sadly it's now dammed if you do, dammed if you don't for Harper. If he says he didn't study, he gets extra study hall hours. If he says he did study and still got a B, he gets extra study hall hours.
Michigan RB Justice Hayes to transfer for fifth year
Sam Cooper at Dr. Saturday1 day agoMichigan's Justice Hayes will head elsewhere for his final season of college football.
Hayes, a running back, announced Monday that he will graduate from Michigan in April and pursue an opportunity as a graduate transfer. Hayes said that new Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh invited him back for his fifth year with the program, but he decided it was in his best interests to leave Ann Arbor.
The four years I have spent at this institution have brought some great memories that I will cherish… http://t.co/HJHPr6R15A
I will always be a Michigan man fans. I love u all. I have had a great 4 years at this school and wouldn't change it for the world! #goblue

Hybrid sales have fallen short of expectations for any number of reasons. One is the growing popularity of tablets as a less expensive alternative. And while hybrid notebooks include a touchscreen, the systems are heavier and bulkier than tablets and don't offer the same portability.
(Some, like the HP Envy x2, offer a detachable screen that can function like a tablet with its own internal battery).
Merlin Kister, a brand manager for Intel, told All Things D that one of the reasons hybrid notebooks aren't selling as well as expected at retail is that would be buyers don't get to see all they can do.
That's because the hybrids look like any other notebook. Because of security concerns, the hybrids are typically locked down in such a way that the ability to flip the display around so it's more like using a tablet is impossible.
Kister said Intel is working on ways to help retailers present the devices more effectively.
A new generation of hybrids powered by Intel's Haswell
Analyst Tim Bajarin says the limited demo capability could well be a factor in some buying scenarios, but he thinks the bigger issue is price and battery life.
"You are going to see Intel and notebook vendors be a lot more aggressive this Fall, starting in September, on price with the 2-in-1 (hybrid) systems," said Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies.
He said there are over 350 million notebooks out there that are three years or older. that get less than 4 hours of battery life.
"When consumers get the opportunity to upgrade, our research shows the number one reason will be if they can double the battery life," he said. "And now with Intel's new Haswell chip, you can do that with these new Windows-based 2-in-1 notebooks. Nine-to-10 hours of battery life isn't as good as the 14 hours I get with my MacBook Air, but it's still a game changer."

Great discounts for military! Please feel free to add yours
Just wanted to let everyone know.....if you are military and travel to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area, be sure and ask about discounts. We have found some great ones, like the Ripley's Aquarium regular price adult is $22.29 and $12.25 for kids......with your military ID it is $3.99 each plus tax.
All the Ripley's attractions are heavily discounted for military as well as Guinness Book of World Records. Most are for the military member and dependants only. Some require ID for all dependants over the age of 12. |
I have a detailed list, if anyone would like it just PM me.
We are going in 2 weeks and I have a list of at least 12 different attractions that we can do for under $150.00 total for a family of 4. :woohoo: |
We went there in 2004. We got discounts all over town. Everybody offers them. Great town for military families! The Ripley's Aquarium was the best deal of all and a great attraction to boot! If you are considering a vacation, go to the Smokeys!
We are just back from 3 nights in Gatlinburg and all the Ripley's attractions plus Guiness book of Worl Records are significantly reduced for military. We did Ripley's Aquarium, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Ripley's Davy Crockett golf, Ripley's Mirror Maze, Guiness Book for all under $50.00 for a family of 4 (DD was free at most as most of these are free for ages 5 and under. The aquarium tickets alone would have cost more than $50 at regular price. Other area attractions give a discount of $2.00 or so off the regular price or charge a child's admission price for each person. There is also a Ripley's Haunted Adventure and a Ripley's Movie Ride that we didn't do but those are also only like $1.99 each. |
Here are some other places we've found that give discounts to military
Texas Road House - 10% off Hard Rock Cafe - 10% off Olive Garden - can't remember the amount DH has also had his portion of the meal comped when in uniform at Cracker Barrel (not all, I guess it depends on the manager). Also a little place in Chattanooga called Soups On gives your meal complimentary to military in uniform. If you have any please share! |
Chick-fil-a = 50% off to military in uniform or with ID card.
A Couple more
Hershey Gardens in Hershey, PA = free for service members, dependents are regular price ($10.00 for adults and $6.00 for children 3-12)
Farmer's Musuem in Cooperstown, NY = free for service members, dependents pay regular price. Baltimore Maritime Museum, Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD = touring the ships free for service members. Regular price for dependents. Knobles Amusement Park in Elysburg, PA = free all day wrist band for service members, regular price for dependents. Some Lowes and Home Depot Stores offer 10% discount on all purchases...call ahead. Some Applebee's = free lunch for service members on Veteran's Day. And of course... Busch Gardens/Sea World/Sesame Place (PA) = Free for service members AND dependents once per calender year. Have fun and keep posting!! |
Some of the restaurant discounts can vary locally. I can assure you our Chick-fil-A does not give a 50% discount. (That would be nice...)
Our AC Moore gives a 10% discount. Lowe and Home Depot usually do on Memorial Day, July 4th and Veteran's Day. Lowe's is 10% up to $2000. Most hotels have a military discount. It always pays to ask. The Georgia Aquarium offers a 20% discount on admission and the gift shop. |
I know this thread is old, but if you can still give me a list of discounted attractions for military, I would really appreciate it! We are heading down in mid June and I'm a bit concerned with my budgeting!
Lowes offers the 10% military discount (with ID) everyday of the year all you have to do is ask for it. The only advertise it on Memorial Day and Veterans day. but it is still avail.
Everywhere I go, I ask for a military discount. I have learned that most of the cell phone companies have a discount of some sort. I have AT&T and I think that we get 15% or so off of out monthly service.
When ever we go to Tanger Outlets I ask for discount. I got 10% off at Van Heusen and Old Navy recently. I will think of some more and post them as I think of it. |
Gatlinburg Military Discounts
We called Ripley's aquarium yesterday to see what exactly the discount was. The aquarium wass $3.99, but you can buy a combined pass for all the Ripley's attractions for $10 per person!! All adults must show military ID. This has greatly reduced the expenses for our upcoming vacation, whew!
Anyone know of any other attractions in Gatlinburg with a military discount? Ober Gatlinburg tram, go karts, Reagan Terrace fun park? |
Anyone who is military can get a FREE day pass for them and family at SeaWorld.
storage unit
my dd and sil just put their furniture and household items in storage while he's gone. they found out they get a 15% discount on their monthly storage bill...it never hurts to ask!:goodvibes :goodvibes Our daughter is staying with us until her hubby returns.
The Manager of our Dick's Sporting Goods gives a 10% discount to military members and their dependents who also are Reward Point members. :thumbsup2
Maybe your store does the same! |

Poor sanitation negatively affects health, as well as dignity. Women and girls, already often marginalized, are further disempowered and even put at risk because of a lack of sanitation facilities. Women and girls need access to private and secure areas to defecate. Where they do not exist, women often use the night as privacy, which exposes them to the risk of rape or other violence. Ignoring their natural bodily functions out of fear not only causes discomfort but also increases the likelihood of health problems such as urinary tract infections, chronic constipation or mental stress, especially during menses.
Access to appropriate and, most importantly, gender-sensitive WASH facilities would have a significant positive impact on both the daily lives and long-term prospects of millions of women and girls that are currently living without them. Efforts to improve WASH services not only benefit women; they benefit everyone.
In most developing countries, women have the main responsibility for health, child care, hygiene education, water, and sanitation provision. They are most likely to know common habits and problems within a community, what kind of services are required, and where they should be built to be most effective.
Women should, therefore, be included in the planning, design, and implementation of WASH interventions. Involving them in community water and sanitation-related decisions can be an empowering experience. This can improve their status, creating opportunities for income generation, as well as providing them with other public and influential roles – thus potentially making gender equality a reality.
WSSCC advocates strongly for incorporating gender issues into WASH programmes, through targeted campaigns, workshops and trainings, and promotion of women leaders.

I am located in far southeastern PA.
I purchased a 5', potted Musa Thai tree in May. In June, I removed a pup from the pot and planted it in ground. This pup flourished and produced another pup in July and also just a bout 2 weeks ago, yet another pup sprung out of ground. For the tree that remains potted, i'm planning on keeping in my kitchen until spring. What do I do about the 3 trees that are in the ground? I've read several options: -Cut off at ground level and cover with burlap and mulch until spring. -Dig up entire tree and place in cool dark sotrage until spring, then replant. I want this tree to reach it's maximum growth potential so whichever option increase the odds of that happening, that's what i'll end up doing. Please share your thought and opinions. Thanks,

Mike, Dig up and store in cool DRY place til spring. The main stem is what you want t o save for next year, You don't want that to die off. It will in your area. You have a very beautiful and much sought after banana plant. Save the long stems of all of them. Have you been on the site bananas dot org yet? You might want to visit that site and join. There is excellent information on that site in regards to bananas, and they have wonderful pics of big tai plants you might want to see. I am jealous! |
Thank you very much for your response. Just a few more uestions to follow up... Should I leave the root ball as one big mass with all 3 plants still together, or should I seperate the pups? I am thinking i'll want to seperate the larger pup in the spring and plant it in another location on my property. Should i wait until spring to seperate it? Should I cut the leaves off? Does it need sunlight while in "storage"? I have had great luck as this is my first year with this plant and it seems love it's location. I water them daily and I saw rapid growth from mid July through early August. I have not been to babanas dot org. I will definitely checkit out and register there as well. |

Mike, You can cut the leaves off, it will go to sleep. It can not freeze, it is mostly water. Let it sleep all winter, it can't have wet and cold. Cool and dry. Keep the main stem from dying, that is the key. Seperate in spring. |

Lightning in a Bottle 2012 Review
A Harmonious Fusion of Conscious Living, Art, and Culture
After over ten years of bringing audiences crunchy grooves and good vibes, the Do LaB hosted yet another successful festival catering to the mind, body, and soul this past Memorial Day weekend. Held at its usual venue at Oak Canyon Ranch, Lightning in a Bottle provided audiences with a multi-faceted, eye opening experience in the hills of Silverado, California. With over 74 musical acts, 33 live artists, and 36 speakers, Lightning in a Bottle 2012 continued its legacy of progressive entertainment that focuses on enhancing the human experience through art, meditation, sustainable engineering, and music.
In terms of the festival's musical experience, the Do LaB went above and beyond to showcase an expansive variety of genres. From world fusion to glitch hop, rock and roll to string quartet chamber music, this year's lineup was reminiscent of an underground Coachella mixed with multi-culturalism. The five main stages for music—the Lumi Lounge, the Lucent Temple of Consciousness, the Bamboo Stage, the Woogie Stage, and the Lightning Stage—hosted world class acts that made sure everyone's musical appetite was sated.
Friday night headliners Nit Grit and Tipper kicked off the first official LIB night with heavy-hitting sets that set the stage for the rest of the weekend. Lesser-known but equally impressive artists like Shpongle, Minnesota, and Gramatik also performed on Friday, proving that even the smaller names at festivals can compare to the main acts. As the momentum of the festival quickly amassed, attendees with weekend passes were able to kick off their LIB experience with performances by Bluetech, an-ten-nae, and EOTO. Headliners Lucent Dossier Experience—a tribal cirque of acrobatics, dance, and live music much like an acidified Cirque du Soleil—were a spectacle that captivated audiences with their (literally) fiery grandeur.
The same stage was quickly transformed into an altar for glitch-heads as Ooah, edIT, and Boreta slammed listeners with tracks from We Can Make the World Stop to Drink the Sea. Lightning in a Bottle numbers peaked on Sunday as crowds poured in to catch festival headliner Bassnectar. Leading up to the sultan of bass was naturally another 14 hours of nonstop music including OPIUO, Big Gigantic, R/D, and Sidecar Tommy. Still, the Lightning bass never struck so hard as when Moontribe veteran, Bassnectar, took the stage. Infused with dubstep, breakbeat, and glitch, Bassnectar's set blasted the crowd with nearly two hours of both recent and earlier releases of his career.
As a whole, perhaps the most notable aspect of Lightning in a Bottle was the symbiotic relationship among each aspect of the festival. The eco-friendly stages enhanced the natural beauty of the venue; healing sanctuaries and yoga sessions healed bodies after a day of endless dancing and restored energy levels for yet another day to come; group meditation and compelling speakers opened minds to receive the positive energy that was essential to the festival's success. From start to finish, Lightning in a Bottle was a living, breathing organism whose every particle was integral to the synergistic event.

Europe is leading the way in reducing food waste. In January 2012, the European Parliament adopted a resolution to reduce food waste 50 percent by 2020, and designated 2014 as the "European year against food waste." In the U.K., an extensive five-year public awareness campaign called "Love Food Hate Waste" has contributed to an 18 percent reduction in avoidable food waste. And 53 of the leading U.K. food retailers and brands have adopted waste reduction resolutions.
"No matter how sustainably our food is farmed, if it's not being eaten, it is not a good use of resources," said Gunders. "Fortunately, there are ways to tackle the food waste problem, and everyone can play a role."
When all the other solutions are worked out, retailers may want to tone down the "unnecessary abundance" of produce displays as well.
All kidding aside, how can the industry work to reduce waste? Are mandates for waste reduction the solution? What's the "payoff" for relaxing cosmetic standards if consumers shun ugly produce? What are tangible actions that the supply chain can take to reduce fruit and vegetable waste?

Not surprisingly, Betts's creation has earned him a special place in the hearts of Denver's finest. But it was Betts's attempt to garner publicity for his fledgling paper that earned him a trip to Denver's city jail. Somehow, local police failed to see the humor in Betts's "Kill a Cop for Jesus Day."
The cops, however, just might get the last laugh. In a plea agreement reached with police and prosecutors last week, Betts promised to keep his nose clean for six months. And that may mean a temporary halt to the mudslinging MonkeyWrench.
"I've always had bad vibes with cops," says Betts, explaining his psyche while sipping a Coke at a Capitol Hill eatery. "I've had bad experiences. Being a skateboarder in New York, that'll do it."
But it wasn't just the anti-skateboarding peace officers in his native Poughkeepsie that pissed Betts off. The suburban officers had it in for him, too, he says, relating a personal encounter with an overweight, out-of-control New York cop who reportedly roughed up one of Betts's teenage pals.
In 1992, sick of the humidity, the cops and New York itself, Betts moved to Denver to complete his education. (The 23-year-old is now a senior at the University of Colorado-Denver). He'd only been here a few months when he got into his first scrape with Denver police.
Betts was hosting a raucous Halloween party when a couple of Denver police officers appeared at his apartment door, he says. They wanted to know who had broken the building's glass entry door. Betts pleaded ignorance, although he says now that the perpetrator was a neighbor.
Betts was lippy, and the cops responded in kind, reportedly threatening to haul him off to jail for breaking the door. Then they ticketed Betts for disturbing the peace, even though, he claims, the party (and his stereo) had quieted down well before the police arrived.
When the case reached court a month later, Betts's public defender advised him to plead guilty to an amended charge. "He said, `It's going to be your word against the cops, and you're going to lose,'" Betts recalls. "I said, `This is crap, man. I can't plead guilty to something I didn't do.' And he said, `You should be glad you aren't from Five Points or the projects, because they would have beat the shit out of you.'"
Betts pleaded guilty and was given a six-month deferred sentence. In other words, if he stayed out of trouble for half a year, his record would be cleared.
Betts complained to his friends for months afterward about the alleged injustice. They responded, he said, by telling him "horror stories" about their own experiences with Denver police. Betts says he became sick of hearing people "bitch and fester their bad attitudes." And he decided to do "something positive, just to make a little noise."
From that, The Denver MonkeyWrench was born. The first issue, an eight-page, 5 1/2- x 8 1/2-inch newsletter, appeared in mid-April 1993. In it, Betts recounted his Halloween ticket. Some friends contributed a tale of their own run-in with officers. They added a "borrowed" cartoon and a newspaper clipping and closed with this "Word to the Law": "We know none of Denver's finest will be happy with the release of this paper. The truth hurts and the truth is you are fascist pigs. We're looking for justice and you're suppressing it. You may think you are safe but you will lose your ass if things don't change."
Betts and his friends distributed 300 copies of the paper in and around Capitol Hill and the Auraria campus. Betts left a stack in the City and County Building for good measure.
Issue No. 2, which made its debut in the summer of '93, took potshots at the Pope as well as the local police, and gave a great deal of space to a smoke-in sponsored by NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
The third MonkeyWrench sprang forth "sometime in the winter," Betts says, noting that because the paper carries no advertising, the publication dates are tied directly to the state of his wallet.
Betts was putting together a fourth issue of the newsletter in early July when he decided some promotion was in order. Inspired by the name of a fan club for one of his favorite bands, he had fliers made up declaring July 22 "Kill a Cop for Jesus Day." Interested parties were told to show up at the State Capitol at 2 p.m. The gathering, the flier said, was "proudly sponsored by the Denver MonkeyWrench." Betts stuck the handbills on telephone poles and "No Parking" signs around Capitol Hill.
"I just wanted to make a satirical statement," he says now. "It was purely a prank. I wanted to nail up a sign [on the Capitol lawn] and take pictures of people walking by for a spoof and for publicity for the paper. I was going to sit back by the bullshit war statue and watch my creation."

Hi, I have a 16 year old maytag black glass gas cooktop and electric convection wall oven beneath. The wall oven electronic control panel is shot and if it is available, will cost at least $350 to fix. Doesn't seem worth it, since it is so old. In the next couple of years I had planned to replace them, redo the laminate counters and sink and kitchen floor, but our daughter got married this year, so.... I was thinking of replacing these with a slide-in but we are tall and our countertop is higher than normal. Because they have to be compatible, I think I'll have to replace both oven and countertop. I looked yesterday and Jenn-Air has some, although they don't go with my microwave and dishwasher (Frigidaire and GE, respectively, much newer than 15 years) and would run about $3300, more than I really want to spend. The cutout for my cooktop can probably be enlarged--most cooktops now seem to be bigger. My oven is probably as large as it can get. My cherry cabinets were made locally, so I can probably get pieces made to make the oven opening smaller if need be. So, should I try to use Frigidaire, in black, so all the brands are the same? Does that matter? I feel constrained to use black, but maybe I could use a combination of stainless and black? I don't want to spend for the top of the line, but would like a well functioning and nice looking line. All this, just in time for Christmas! I don't have a contractor yet, either. Any suggestions would be very welcome, |

liesl13: "Because they have to be compatible, I think i'll have to replace both oven and countertop. ... So, should I try to use Frigidaire, in black, so all the brands are the same?" It depends upon what flavor of "compatible" drives the imperative. Do you want the knobs to share design elements? Then you may need to match brands. But compatibility between cooktops and ovens from a function standpoint is pretty much determined by physical dimensions and required clearances. One doubts that there is anything about any Frigidaire brand oven (made by Electrolux) that would make it any more functionally compatible with your Frigidaire brand black glass gas cooktop than an undercounter-mounted oven of another brand. Bottom line: if you are happy with your current cooktop and find a wall oven of another brand that suits your fancy, get out your tape measure, and see if the other brand will fit. |
Thanks. In terms of compatibility, I was thinking of the clearance required between the cooktop and the oven--if I remember right, that was an issue 15 years ago. Maybe that's not a problem. I wouldn't mind replacing the cooktop, as it is getting pretty old. As far as design, my microwave has a distinctive curved handle which the frigidaire line would match, although Kitchen Aid has a similar one on its oven. I guess I could just deal with the oven for now and do all the rest (counters, sink, floor) later, I was just afraid that at that point I might not be able to get a good match. |
I replaced a cracked GE glass/propane cooktoop with a Dacor 5 burner. Both "fit" over existing JennAir 30" oven, same cutout. However, the cooktop igniter goes off continuously if I use the front burners and oven at the same time. Back burners no problem. Everything "fits", but this is far from ideal. Not sure what I should have done. Good luck! |
I had similar situation. I tried a new thermador over my existing dacor oven and wouldn't fit. Your best bet is to buy same manufacturer of cooktop and oven. You have to look at installation manual and see if it they explicitly say it will work and they will support it. I found my old dacor cooktop and oven manuals and it said so. A very good dealer should be able to help you (mine had to take back the cooktop and refund me the money). |

The focus of Symposium 2015 is utility infrastructure and the challenges associated with its replacement and modernization, the extent to which resiliency and sufficiency exists within the utility industries, and how to design more effective regulatory or business models. The symposium will be developed around three panels which separately discusses each of these issues.
Panel 1 will examine issues associated with the modernization and replacement of utility physical infrastructure. Included in this discussion will be topics such as the cost recovery of new investment, technological innovation and modernization, mandated environmental investments, and the nature and extent of new infrastructure needs.
Panel 2 will focus on the resiliency and sufficiency of utility infrastructure for the 21st century. Topics addressed in this panel include the ability of the infrastructure to respond to disruptions originating from a variety of factors, the challenges of physical and cyber security, the reliability and sufficiency of existing infrastructure relative to projected demand growth, and the impact of emerging technologies.Panel 3 is intended to be an integrative panel with its emphasis on how changes in utility business models and regulatory practices can lead to solutions for many infrastructure challenges. The discussion of business practices will examine how best to attract the investment capital necessary for infrastructure modernization or replacement while considering consumer affordability and access. This panel will also examine how changes in regulatory processes, policies, and procedures can stimulate a more capable, resilient, and efficient utility infrastructure.

A variety of international organisations, funders, and others have made calls for sharing research data. These include the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Health Organization (WHO), the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), the US Congress, the European Commission, the European Ombudsman, journal editors, the UK Medical Research Council (MRC), the Wellcome Trust, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Hewlett Foundation.[1]
These calls have mostly been restricted to publicly funded research, but if the over-riding objective of healthcare research is to improve patient care and health policy, the distinction between publicly funded research and industry-funded research is artificial and irrelevant.[1],[2] It is pretty clear that if commercial concerns lead to the withholding of data that are important for rational decision-making by doctors and patients, there is something fundamentally wrong.
Selective reporting of trial results is common,[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8] and this means that published results of trials – and therefore also systematic reviews of trials – tend to exaggerate the beneficial effects of healthcare interventions and underestimate their harms, often to a considerable degree. Because of selective reporting, many patients have been treated unknowingly with interventions that have no effect, and many have been harmed unnecessarily. This practice is unethical [9] and violates the implicit contract that healthcare researchers have with those members of the public that volunteer as trial participants – namely, that the aim of the research is to improve treatment of future patients.
The consequences of selective reporting can be disastrous. For example, several drug companies misrepresented the risk of harms with their cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, and the widespread use of rofecoxib has likely caused about 100,000 unnecessary heart attacks in the USA alone,[10],[11] corresponding to about 10,000 deaths, which could have been avoided by using other, equally effective drugs causing less harm.
As another example, the effect of antidepressants was 32% larger in the published trials than in all trials that had been submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration.[7] When the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) was drafting guidelines for the treatment of depression in children, they observed that, based on the published trials, they would recommend antidepressants, but based on all the trials, including the unpublished ones, they would not.[12] The companies had also concealed the fact that antidepressants increase the risk of suicide by coding suicidal events as something else, e.g. emotional lability, admission to hospital, lack of effect or drop-out, and by adding suicidal events to the placebo group, although the events happened in the run-in phase before patients were randomised.[4],[13]
Following the intervention of the European ombudsman, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is now committed to providing access to clinical study reports and corresponding trial protocols.[2] Importantly, documents received by The Nordic Cochrane Centre have included individual patient data in anonymised format, identified by individual and test-centre numbers only. This allows for an independent assessment and coding of serious adverse events in a blinded fashion, which is expected to lead to much more reliable data on harms than those the drug companies have published.
However, access to data held by other agencies, including national ones, may still be challenging, or in some cases outright impossible. For example, although the United Kingdom acts as Reference Member State according to the Mutual Recognition Procedure in the European Union for the antidepressant drug fluoxetine, the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) informed The Nordic Cochrane Centre on 25 May 2011 that it no longer holds the requested reports: "Under MHRA record management policy, all application files and data for licences are held for 15 years. After this period, files are destroyed unless there is a legal, regulatory, or business need to keep them, or unless they are considered to be of lasting historic interest."[14]
To ensure that all data from all clinical trials become publicly available, without undue delay, The Cochrane Collaboration has published a statement about access to data (http://www.cochrane.org/about-us/our-policies/support-free-access-to-all-data-from-all-clinical-trials) that calls for:
The Cochrane Collaboration recognises that the sharing of data from all clinical trials would lead to tremendous benefits for our societies for the following reasons: the current situation is harmful to patients and has been shown to lead to the avoidable death of tens of thousands of patients; we would become much better informed about the true benefits and harms of our interventions, which would lead to better treatment with fewer harms throughout health care; transparency would be increased, making it possible for independent scrutiny of the methods and the calculations reported in the trial publication compared with the trial protocol and the raw data, which would increase the likelihood that any malpractice was detected; the efficiency of healthcare research would be much improved, as many important research questions can be answered by using existing data, sparing researchers and patients from unnecessary, potentially dangerous and wasteful duplication of effort; and it would help identify healthcare strategies and uncertainties that require research, and to set priorities for research.

I can't help you due to bias, but I can share a story. I found my Modern Air hood on eBay from a woman in Pasadena who installed it and realized it was too big. So my bias is for someone who can benefit your situation. That being siad, I had a very low clearance on a range top once and really disliked cooking on it as a result. |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Tue, Jul 9, 13 at 15:16
if it were me, i think i would trim back the ceiling and use it. or if you can find a good metal cutter, maybe you can cut the hood back a tad at the top. you can always apply a little trim or something to hide imperfections. though i think spec-wise, a lot of hoods recommend to go anywhere from 26" to 36" above a hood for best hood performance, so 27.5" is not too short to pass inspection, though it probably too short for comfort. |
I will consider the ceiling trim option. Wondering if there are any examples of hood clearance of less than 30inches on GW? |
Don't install it without mods. Us short people should never have to cook like tall people (bruised foreheads). Also a megahood mounted that low relative to everything else will look ridiculous. Do see how hard it'll be to chop it or stuff it into the ceiling. (Also, assure me that this wasn't your architect's error. :0) ) |
Agree with Foir on all accounts. If you're only 5' tall and it's still too low for you, no way. Hopefully you can modify it, but if it's also too wide I think it will be the elephant in the room. |

Why is the ceiling so short? That would be the first thing to investigate. That has more ramifications that just getting the hood up further out of your face. |
- Posted by shanghaimom (My Page) on Tue, Jul 9, 13 at 22:01
Our hood is 26" from the top of the range. The range and hood manufacturer (Bertazzoni) specifies 25.5-31.5 for clearance but our strict and annoying city code did not allow me to go higher than 26". I thought it would make me crazy but it doesn't seem strange or uncomfortable. I am 5'8" and use the range almost every night. It is a 6-burner 36" gas range. Sooo...I have 8" on you AND my hood is 1.5" lower than what you're proposing. I do think you'll be quite comfortable cooking! What does make me wonder, however, is how that very large hood will look with your unusually low ceilings? Might be worth doing some sort of mock-up to get a feel for the proportions. |
Fori, Island, Livewireoak --> On the question of low ceiling - My house is old and the ceiling in the kitchen is redwood tongue & groove boards. I did add 2 skylight wells to add some light in there and some airiness. It feels OK. The hood depth is kind of proportionate to the uppers which are 18in deep. The hood is PS26 model and has uppers on both sides. And my base cabinets are also 30in deep. The width of the hood makes sense as my cooking zone is 36in induction + 12in gas. With a 2in space in between, I basically have a few inches extra width on the hood at 57in to cover any smoke escaping. I spoke to Modernaire today and the rep urged me to really consider installing it and then seeing if I still find it an issue. He feels the scale of the hood on the floor is making it feel big but it will be proportionate. I have to verify the code issue. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Scotch!
Facts about Scotch
- Breed: American Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Scotch's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
He is such a sweetie...he and his sister Butter were thrown out like trash. Both are very social and love to purrrrrr. They were probably born around Sept 1st.
Other Pets at Almost Home Shelter Pet Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Scotch, a Hazard American Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Hazard, or seeking a American Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Hazard.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hazard already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hazard breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hazard paves the way for another one to be saved.

If justice is only an implication, it can easily become optional and, especially in privileged churches, non-existent. In the New Testament, conversion happens in two movements: Repentance and following. Belief and obedience. Salvation and justice. Faith and discipleship.
Atonement-only theology and its churches are in most serious jeopardy of missing the vision of justice at the heart of the kingdom of God. The atonement-only gospel is simply too small, too narrow, too bifurcated, and ultimately too private.
Finally, as President Obama has announced, this American war will soon be over, with most of the 44,000 American troops still in Iraq coming home in time to be with their families for Christmas.
The initial feelings that rushed over me after hearing the White House announcement were of deep relief. But then they turned to deep sadness over the terrible cost of a war that was, from the beginning, wrong; intellectually, politically, strategically and, above all, morally wrong.
The War in Iraq was fundamentally a war of choice, and it was the wrong choice.
When some of these local young people heard about my event, and asked the church if they attend, the church graciously gave them free tickets. Apparently, the word spread and a big crowd of protesters descended on the already large audience. It soon became clear that Occupy Grand Rapids was in the house as they enthusiastically participated in the discussion, offering very civil, but also very challenging questions.
After the program ended, the young Occupy Grand Rapids activists asked if I would spend some time with them, to which I quickly agreed. But they also asked the Mayor to stay, and bravely, he also accepted - a decision I thought was in keeping with what a responsive democracy should look like.
It's time to move from a narrowly defined shareholder economy to a stakeholder economy that includes workers, consumers, the environment , and future generations -- all in our economic calculations and decision-making.
I joined thousands of others across the country who believe that bullying should never be tolerated at any time, at any place, or for any reason. I wore purple in memory of the many young people who have taken their own lives as a result of harassment and bullying inflicted on them because they are gay.
I wore purple because I am a follower of Christ.
Bold leadership means that Mayor Bloomberg should do what he can to allow these protests to continue, even if he doesn't agree with them. As an elected official, it is essential that the mayor find a way to protect demonstrators' free speech and right to assemble.
The freedom to protest is one of the things that has made this country great and its abridgement is an affront to us all.
You have awakened the sleeping giant, too long dormant, but ever present, deep in the American democratic spirit. You have given voice and space to the unspoken feelings of countless others about something that has gone terribly wrong in our society. And you have sparked a flame from the embers of both frustration and hope that have been building, steadily, in the hearts of so many of us for quite some time.
Throughout history, often it has been left to the youth of a society to do that, and you boldly have stepped into the role of the emerging generation, which sometimes means saying and doing what others only think. You have articulated, loudly and clearly, the internal monologue of a nation.
The new movement called Occupy Wall Street now has spread across the country, from the very seats of our political and financial power and our largest cities, to suburbs and small towns. In some communities small groups of a few dozen have formed and in some cities thousands have gathered.
In each instance, no matter the size, people's frustrations, hurt and feelings of being betrayed by our nation's politicians and economic leaders are clear and they want to be heard.
We will likely see images and hear things that will offend us and some that will inspire.
We'll hear demands that we agree with and some that we don't.
And that's OK.
Here we go again. Presidential elections are coming and the role of "the evangelicals" is predictably becoming a hot political story.
Ironically, voices on both the right and the left want to describe most or all evangelicals as zealous members of the ultra-conservative political base.
Why? Perhaps because some conservative Republicans want to claim a religious legitimacy and constituency for their ideological agenda, and some liberal writers seem hell-bent on portraying religious people as intellectually-flawed right-wing crazies with dangerous plans for the country.
Let me try to be clear as someone who is part of a faith community that is, once again, being misrepresented, manipulated, and maligned. Most people believe me to be a progressive political voice in America. And I am an evangelical Christian.
I believe in one God, the centrality and Lordship of God's son Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, the authority of the scriptures, the saving death of the crucified Christ and his bodily resurrection -- not as a metaphor but a historical event. Yep, the whole nine yards.
Wall Street has been devastating Main Street for some time. And when the politicians -- most of them bought by Wall Street -- say nothing, it's called "responsible economics." But when somebody, anybody, complains about people suffering and that the political deck in official Washington has been stacked in favor of Wall Street, the accusation of class warfare quickly emerges. "Just who do these people think they are," they ask. The truth is that the people screaming about class warfare this week aren't really concerned about the warfare. They're just concerned that their class -- or the class that has bought and paid for their political careers -- continues to win the war.
So where is God in all of this? Is God into class warfare? No, of course not. God really does love us all, sinners and saints alike, rich and poor, mansion dwellers and ghetto dwellers. But the God of the Bible has a special concern for the poor and is openly suspicious of the rich. And if that is not clear in the Bible nothing is.
Sojourners has always tried to understand and advocate for "biblical politics." But what does that mean now, especially as we approach another major election?
I was talking the other day to a Christian leader who has given his life to working with the poor. His approach is very grassroots -- he lives in a poor, virtually all-minority community and provides basic services for low-income people. He said, "If you work with and for the poor, you inevitably run into injustice." In other words, poverty isn't caused by accident. There are unjust systems and structures that create and perpetuate poverty and human suffering. And service alone is never enough; working to change both the attitudes and institutional arrangements that cause poverty is required.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, I was at home in Washington, D.C. getting ready to go to Sojourners' office. I was upstairs listening to the news on NPR when I heard the first confusing report of a plane crashing into the south tower of the World Trade Center. I immediately called downstairs to Joy and asked her to turn on the television to see what was going on. Moments later, as we ate breakfast together with our three-year-old son Luke, we watched the second plane strike the north tower. I still remember my first response to Joy, "This is going to be bad, very bad," I said.
Of course, I meant more than just the damage to the Twin Towers and the lives lost, which became far greater than any of us imagined at first. Rather, my first and deepest concern was what something like this could do to our country and our nation's soul. I was afraid of how America would respond to a terrorist attack of this scope.
A conservative Republican member of Congress talks about his journey of repentance for supporting the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
America should be a safe place for people of all faiths.

There are huge bleachers wrapped around home plate, and extending into left and right field. Behind home, there is a high official box where the game is announced, scores are kept, and reporters watch and write their stories. The field itself looks carefully tended with freshly cut green grass, and a flat-raked dirt infield without potholes, bumps, or ditches. And the beautiful grass of the outfield extends to actual fences, which each player hopes to reach as they gaze at the most perfect baseball diamond any of them have ever played on.
The debate we have just witnessed has shown Washington, D.C. not just to be broken, but corrupt. The American people are disgusted watching politicians play political chicken with the nation's economy and future. In such a bitter and unprincipled atmosphere, whoever has the political clout to enforce their self-interest and retain their privileges wins the battles. But there are two casualties in such political warfare: the common good and the most vulnerable.
So how will vulnerable people fair under this deal? "The Circle of Protection," a diverse nonpartisan movement of Christian leaders, has been deeply engaged in the budget debate to uphold the principle that low-income people should be protected. But it is hard to evaluate a deal that averts a crisis when the crisis wasn't necessary in the first place. Over the past few weeks, our economy has indeed been held hostage as politicians negotiated the price of the release. Ultimately, I think most of us wish that no hostages had been taken in the first place, and this was no way to run a government or make important budget decisions.
It's a consistent storyline in the media, involving powerful men in politics, sports, business, and religion: Men behave with utter disregard for the dignity and humanity of women -- using and abusing them at will, and acting as if they believe that they are entitled to do so.
John Stott died this Wednesday. He was 90 years old. What many people don't understand is that he was the most influential 20th-century evangelical leader in the world, with the exception of Billy Graham. Stott became the Anglican rector of All Souls Church in downtown London at the age of 29 in 1950, and he stayed there for his entire ministry. But from his parish at Langham Place in the city's West End, and right across from BBC headquarters, John Stott spoke to the world with 50 books that sold 8 million copies. He also traveled the globe , speaking, teaching, convening, mentoring, and bird watching -- a personal passion.
Perhaps the most telling thing about this man is all the personal stories about "Uncle John" that the world is now hearing, from many Christian leaders around the world who were profoundly influenced, encouraged, and supported by John Stott. And secondly, how such a giant in the Christian world remained so humble, as testified to by those who knew him who say how "Christ-like" he was.
The markets are watching, the Republicans are watching, the Democrats are watching, the media are watching, the pollsters and pundits are watching. The public is watching and is disgusted with Washington, D.C.
When it comes to the bitter and ultra-partisan battles over the budget, the deficit, and the fast-approaching deadline for America defaulting on its financial commitments, the whole nation and even the world is watching.
But God is watching too.

Taylor Bird Sazerac
New Orleans bartender Abigail Gullo pays homage to the inventors of the Sazerac—importer Sewell Taylor, bar owner Aaron Bird and apothecary Antoine Peychaud—with a pour of Cognac, the spirit originally used in the drink that eventually became the city's official cocktail. "Our bar, SoBou, is housed in what used to be an ice house in the 1800s, possibly storing ice that chilled those early Sazeracs," Gullo says. "I like to think we have good cocktail juju here because of that." Check out Wayne Curtis' guide to New Orleans cocktail bars in the May/June 2013 issue.

We just moved into a pretty old house and I want to mount my TV in the wall, I'm just not sure what the house is built from and how to find the studs. I drove a short nail in a lot of different places. About 3/4 inches in, I kept hitting something that seemed really solid, like I would be able to mount my TV on. However, I kept hitting it everywhere I ran into, so I'm assuming its not the studs. It's a 32inch TV, and I'd love to know how to find the studs and what's going on behind the walls, I'm assuming its plaster. THANKS! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is the wall interior or exterior? Is the house masonry or frame? Old masonry houses may have no studs in exterior wall. Try removing a receptacle plate in the wall and looking between the box and plaster to see how the wall is built. |
pretty old Like Sophia Loren old? Or Sarah Bernhardt? Maybe Cher? |
Pretty old could mean 1800s instead of 1700s. There are still a few around Northern Virginia. |

Please note that the dates in these indexes are publication dates of the newspaper, NOT the date of death. If you find your ancestor in these indexes, we recommend that you also view the complete obituary itself. Microfilms of these newspapers are available in the Bay County Public Library. If you are unable to come to the Library to obtain a copy of the obituary, you may contact the Bay County Public Library to request a copy. You must provide the name of the deceased and the date and page of the newspaper. You may call the Bay County Public Library at 850-522-2130 or email for assistance. Information you find in an obituary can often lead to additional genealogical records including birth, baptism, marriage, death, and funeral records; the social security death index, and more. Obituaries, especially the more recent ones, can be among the most revealing of all genealogical records. Ancestors of the deceased are often reported, as well as living and deceased spouses, siblings, and children. Current residences of surviving relatives are often reported, which may help you locate your cousins and maybe even get a lead on that elusive family bible. As always, family researchers are reminded to seek out all available original records to confirm (or disprove) information provided in obituaries, because much of that information may be secondary, or hearsay, evidence. Factual statements reported in newspaper obituaries may contain errors, and misspellings are common. Abbreviations used in this index ( ) parenthesis = Maiden Name [ ] brackets = Author's Note/Input/Clarification aka = also known as b/o = brother of d/o = daughter of f/o = father of h/o = husband of m/o = mother of s/o = son of w/o = wife of LHRVF = Local History Room Vertical File - People - PC Pilot 1907-1916

"Have made this a few times now. Doesn't matter about the juice, use OJ if no pineapple. I added extra bourbon or JD. I also used sesame oil instead of veg. Grated ginger is great too. I also added cornstarch to reserve, heated and served it over top the salmon. You can do so much with this as a base. GREAT recipe!"
"Thanks for the tip Jessys Girl. I made this last night and added a clove of garlic chopped fine, some chives, chopped green onion and tabasco. It was excellent with the seasonings"
