Cyprus has been a love nest for centuries.
Legend claims the island is the birthplace of the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite. It's thought she enjoyed secret forest trysts here with a string of ancient gods. And the Roman general, Mark Antony, is said to have presented the island to Cleopatra as a token of his love and affection. There's no denying this place spells romance.
Weddings in Cyprus can take place in town halls hidden behind bright bursts of bougainvillea, or in hotel gardens that overlook the coastline. It's also a really popular spot for Anglican Church weddings. If you get wed in Paphos, you've got the dreamy chapels of St Paul's Pillar and St George's to choose from. You can spend your days picnicking in the Cypriot countryside. And nights are also for sharing, with places like Limassol majoring in lantern-lit tables for two, light jazz, and sea views.

Before directing, I had a 20 year career in television production and am currently working on the series Disorder in the Court for TruTv. Working on a series based around real crime footage coupled with being a fan of investigative tv shows, the subject matter for The Burningmoore Incident was something I wanted to delve into.
As a movie buff, I love most genres, especially horror. But, however scary the supernatural is, or a figure from your dreams with knives as fingers may be, I find nothing more chilling than a seemingly upstanding person unleashing unholy hell on someone else out of nowhere.
On Disorder in the Court, I've seen real, disturbing footage. For instance there was a man on a subway train riding with his child. He sits the boy down in one of the seats then proceeds to pull out a hammer and starts pounding on a sleeping passenger. The attack went on for nearly 5 minutes. Another time, a teen lured a female classmate away from school and shot her in the head execution style. When asked why he did such a thing, he claimed that he wanted to see what killing someone felt like. People who have no empathy, who can objectify humanity and impulsively kill with no remorse, I find both engrossing and disturbing.
Of course, the types of fantastical horror films with ghosts, demons, or creatures lurking in the night are great, but on the flip side, it's the more realistic or perhaps the plausible culpability of the malevolent and sinister acts perpetrated by flesh and blood human beings like Hannibal Lecter, or John Doe (Kevin Spacey in Seven) that really give me pause… now these are some truly horrible people. The same can be said for serial killers such as John Wayne Gacy or the BTK killer, these were guys that, like James Parrish, had wives and kids, functioned in society and had everybody duped, until the gruesome details of their actions came to light. To me, THAT'S horror!
The Burningmoore Incident utilizes an investigative journalism style coupled with the 'found footage' approach to filmmaking. It takes a close look into James Parrish, a man capable of truly horrific acts. He's not a mask wearing, exotic weapon using, trap building killer. He's a guy you could pass on the street and may not give a second glance to. I doubt I am going to see a man in a fedora and knife claws, or someone wearing skin on their face wielding a chainsaw wandering around Manhattan (or at least I hope not ;-) ) but James Parrish is different...he is one of the countless others like him, moving silently among the millions of people walking our streets every day.
Just recently, I was on my way to the office when I saw a man dressed exactly how James Parrish was dressed during the Bayside massacre segment of the film, –black pants and jacket, gray hood– and I found myself doing a double take. For that fleeting moment it was pretty freaky. It can be truly frightening to think that these people are out there and you'll never know it until it's too late.

How do you turn it on??!! We recently bought a house with a 48" subzero side-by-side. Knowing we wouldn't be moving in for a few weeks, we shut it off. Now we can't figure out how to turn it on!! It has power, but nothing happens when we touch the power "button." The display says 0 FF. no lights. The manual and everything we can find online simply says to turn it on. The builder said it was a combination of three buttons, but can't remember which. We called customer service, but they said no one from tech support is there until Monday. Help!! |

Maybe try unplugging it? |
Mine is new, a different model, and I had it installed, so I don't really know how helpful I can be. My installer mentioned that sometimes the temperature profile can be set to "demo" that will allow the lights to be on, but the temp controls remain off. There's a link below that discusses what to do in that case. Good luck. |

You can go to the Subzero website and find the instruction manual for your fridge. Get the model number off of the tag inside the fridge. Then look up the instruction manual for it on the Subzero website. |

The problem is not a lack of manual. :) "The manual and everything we can find online simply says to turn it on." Sounds to me like it's "stuck" somehow so I'd unplug it, like kitten suggested. Actually probably easier to shut down the breaker. If that doesn't work, the next thing I'd do is ask on appliances. State your model if you do that. |

The manual online does not seem to address this, even in trouble shooting. There is a more detailed manual for my current apartment grade fridge than the one for my old SZ. |

Oops, sorry I missed the manual mention in the OP. That's what I get for writing at 5 AM. |

Microsoft reported a surge of voluntary reports — more than 150,000 in the past two years — from people who unknowingly purchased counterfeit software that was often riddled with viruses or malware.
In response to this growing problem, Microsoft today announced a Consumer Action Day campaign to help protect consumers and increase awareness of the risks of counterfeit software. The effort involves education initiatives and enforcement actions in more than 70 countries.
"Fake and pirated software create risks for consumers, businesses and our economy," Attorney General Rob McKenna said. "Counterfeit software may leave computers vulnerable to attacks, which is why I'm pleased Microsoft is working to educate and protect consumers. By guarding intellectual property, we also ensure that jobs and money remain in our communities instead of thieves' pockets."

October 1, 1999, 12:00 AM
By Raymond Carver
They saw each other in Aberdeen at least twice a year, once at the beginning of summer, and once again near summer's end. Robert and Carol and Jenny made a loop through town on their way up the coast to the rain-forest country of the Olympic Peninsula, heading for a lodge they knew about near the ocean, and a place called Agate Beach, where Jenny would hunt for agates and fill up a leather pouch with stones that she took back to Seattle for polishing.
The three never stayed overnight with Nick and Joanne--it occurred to Nick they'd never been asked to stay, for one thing, though Nick was sure that Joanne would have been pleased enough to have them, if Nick had suggested it. But he hadn't. On each of their visits, they arrived in time for breakfast, or else they showed up just before lunch. Carol always called ahead to make the arrangements. They were punctual, which Nick appreciated.
Nick liked them, but somehow he was always made uneasy in their company, too. They'd never, not once, talked about Bill Daly in Nick's presence, or even so much as mentioned the man's name. Nevertheless, when the four of them were together Nick was somehow made to feel that Daly was never very far from anyone's thoughts. Nick had taken Daly's wife away from him, and now these old friends of Daly's were in the house of the man who'd committed that callous indiscretion, the man who'd turned all their lives upside down for a while. Wasn't it a kind of betrayal of their old friend and loved one, Bill Daly, for Robert and Carol to be friends with the man who'd done this? To actually break bread in the man's house and see him put his arm lovingly around the shoulders of the woman who used to be the wife of the man they loved?
"Don't go far, honey," Carol said to Jenny as the girls passed through the kitchen again. "We have to be leaving soon."
"We won't," Jenny said. "We'll just skate out in front."
"See that you do," Robert said. "We'll go pretty soon, you kids." He looked at his watch.
The door closed behind the children, and the grown-ups went back to a subject they'd touched on earlier that morning--terrorism. Robert was an art teacher in one of the Seattle high schools, and Carol worked in a boutique near the Pike Street Market. Between the two of them they didn't know anyone who was going to Europe or the Middle East that summer. In fact, several people, friends of theirs, had canceled their vacation plans to Italy and Greece.
"See America first, is my motto," Robert said. He went on to tell something about his mother and stepfather, who'd just come back from two weeks in Rome. Their luggage had been lost for three days--that was the first thing that'd happened. Then, the second night in Rome, walking down the Via Veneto to a restaurant not far from their hotel--the street was patrolled by men in uniform, carrying machine guns--his mother had had her purse snatched by a thief on a bicycle. Two days later, when they drove a rental car about thirty miles from Rome, somebody slashed a tire and stole the hood off the car while they were in a museum. "They didn't take the battery or anything, you understand," Robert said. "They wanted the hood. Can you beat it?"
"What'd they want with the hood?" Joanne asked.
"Who knows?" Robert said. "But, in any case, it's getting worse for people over there--for tourists--since we bombed. What do you guys think about the bombing? Didn't we overreact when we did that? What the hell, I think it's just going to make things worse for Americans. Everybody's a target now."
Nick stirred his coffee and sipped it before saying, "I don't know any longer. I really don't. In my mind I keep seeing all those bodies lying in pools of blood in the airports. I just don't know." He stirred his coffee some more. "The guys I've talked to over here think that we should have dropped a few more bombs, maybe, while we were at it. I heard somebody say they should have turned the place into a parking lot, while they were at it. I don't know what we should or shouldn't do over there. But we had to do something, I think."
"Well, that's a little severe, isn't it?" Robert said. "A parking lot? Like, nuke the place, you mean?"
"I said I don't know what they should have done. But some kind of response was necessary."
"Diplomacy," Robert said. "Economic sanctions. Let them feel it in their pocketbooks. Then they'll straighten up and fly right."
"Should I make more coffee?" Joanne said. "It won't take a minute. Who wants some cantaloupe?" She moved her chair back and got up from the table.
"I can't eat another bite," Carol said.
"Me neither," Robert said. "I'm fine." He seemed to want to go on with what they were talking about, and then he stopped. "Nick, sometime I'll come down here and go fishing with you."
"Do it," Nick said. "You're welcome to come anytime. Come over and stay as long as you'd like."
"When's the best time to go?"
"July is the best month. But August is good too. Even the first week or two of September." He started to say something about how swell it was fishing in the evenings, when most of the boats had gone in. He started to say something about the time he'd hooked a big one in the moonlight.
Robert seemed to consider for a minute. He drank some of his coffee. "I'll do it. I'll come this summer--in July, if that's all right."
"It's fine," Nick said.
"What will I need in the way of equipment?" Robert said, interested.
"Just bring yourself," Nick said. "I have plenty of gear."
"You can use my rig," Joanne said.

I have a John warren, it says that it blooms in June-July and then again in Aug-sept. Mine is almost done blooming. Are these times just a general or is it possible that it is not a John Warren? It looks like the pictures I have seen just a little more purple then pink. Thanks for your help |

Bloom times are going to depend a lot on your growing zone compared to the zone that the information posted is gathered in. In your zone, I would definitely believe that your clematis would bloom much earlier than what is posted. I wouldn't ever begin to mistrust that I have the correct clematis based on its bloom time compared to a published bloom time. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Fri, May 18, 07 at 8:48
Frankly, this is an issue I've thought about before, also :-) Not that ID was in question because of differing bloom times, but rather why so many posters in other areas are reporting blooms on various clems while the majority of mine are still very firmly in bud. I live in a very firm zone 8 (close to shoreline) and in various areas have a zone 9 microclimate with regards to winter hardiness. However, my weather is always slow to warm up in spring and never gets very hot in summer. Montanas and the atragenes are in full bloom in my area now, but very few of the LFH's are. In fact, the only one in my garden showing any blooms (and she just started) is Nelly Moser. Quite a few others are budded but no signs of color, yet. And I don't expect to see any signs of flowers from any of the viticellas until mid to late June. I guess this is a long way of saying the same thing that Miguel did :-) Climate plays a big factor in bloom time. Since my climate is very similar to that of most of the UK, including the cool summers, and that is where the majority of the published info on clematis originates, the bloom seasons on my clematis mirror those in published sources. I'm just a bit jealous of those in warmer spring/summer climates that already have wonderfully blooming vines in their gardens! |
Of course, you throw micro climates into the mix and it really is confusing. My garden blooms at least two weeks earlier than a friends who lives in the same zone and only 20 miles from me. Some of my clem's have been blooming for at least two weeks. I live in zone 7b and I had a clematis bloom in December this year. Go figure. I take everything that they say about bloom time and ultimate size with a grain of salt since it varies so much in different areas. I use the information as a general guideline but know it may vary somewhat. Carol |

"I'm just a bit jealous of those in warmer spring/summer climates that already have wonderfully blooming vines in their gardens!" The grass is always greener Gardengal! I will pay for my early blooms by having them be out of bloom cycle when others will have clematis just coming into bloom. I will also be dragging hoses around earlier and more frequently than those in areas with cooler springs. If I could snap my fingers and have my way, I would garden in a zone where the temps. never got higher than 72-75 and have rain twice a week! LOL I would willingly trade my earlier blooms for that type of gardening environment!! |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Fri, May 18, 07 at 12:43
I'm a couple hundred miles south of Gardengal but still in the grey and cool Pacific Northwest and my Type II Large Flowered Hybrids are all in full bloom. They don't wait until June. |
Gardengal, I have to tell you this - although I have no blooms yet, I do have flower buds on Ernest Markham and Hagley Hybrid already. The buds are getting fat and are probably only a week or two from blooming. Have no idea why so early on these. It has been a cool spring. High today was in the low 50s, nearly 20 degrees below our normal for this date. Both of these bloom fairly early each year for me, but this is sort of ridiculous. Ernest is on a west facing brick wall, but HH is in the open on the south fence (fake iron type). |

Even tho I don't have any open flowers yet, except some extremely tiny Wada's Primrose, my older ones have a lot more fat buds than usual for this early in May. Marie in ME |

I have a lot of Internet friends who live on the East Coast or in the Midwest and they get Waterlily blooms months before I do. Even though their winters are much colder and they have much more snow. They have much more sun in spring. The Pacific Northwest isn't terribly cold but it is very grey and overcast in spring. |

Work-Life Balance
3 Things You Can Do Right Now
to Feel Better
By Nicole Kwan
These easy moves will improve your day at the office
You're sitting at your computer, where you've probably been all day, glued to your rolling desk chair. "If you're doing a repetitive job (typing email counts), I'd recommend people do stretches every 15 minutes," says Darrin Zeer, author of
Office Yoga. "There's always time for a microbreak." Swap a single coffee break for these three easy moves and you'll feel your day improving.
1. Keyboard calisthenics
Stretch your hands out wide so each finger is reaching away from your palms, then close them together in a fist. Do this to get your circulation going. By stretching out your muscles and ligaments, you'll keep the natural fluidity in your hand and forearm area. "Nothing is better in the world than yoga to provide relief to your hands and wrists," says Zeer.
2. Avoid the evils of carpal tunnel
When you have carpal tunnel syndrome, sometimes the neck is involved. Work on the release of your shoulder blades. Sit on the edge of your chair. Bringing your right arm behind your back so the back of your hand rests between your shoulder blades, bring your left arm up so you are holding your hands. Your elbows should be facing opposite directions, up and down. If you can't hold your hands together, reach them as far as you can. This will begin to relax your shoulder blades and stretch your sides.
3. Relax your aching lower back
Slide your chair back and away from your desk and reach your hands toward the sky. Take a deep breath and relax completely as you exhale. Then, drop your arms and upper body toward the ground. Grab your elbows and let gravity and the weight of your arms pull your body down, unclenching the vertebral disks in the spinal column and releasing the pressure the spine puts on the pelvis and low back when sitting. Pretend you are a rag doll, Zeer says.

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Ho! everyone in need, come to the waters, and he who has no strength, let him get food: come, get bread without money; wine and milk without price. | 1 "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. |
2 Why do you give your money for what is not bread, and the fruit of your work for what will not give you pleasure? Give ear to me, so that your food may be good, and you may have the best in full measure. | 2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. |
3 Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David. | 3 Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. |
4 See, I have given him as a witness to the peoples, a ruler and a guide to the nations. | 4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples. |
5 See, you will send for a nation of which you had no knowledge, and those who had no knowledge of you will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, and because of the Holy One of Israel, for he has given you glory. | 5 Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations that do not know you will hasten to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor." |
6 Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to him while he is near: | 6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. |
7 Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him. | 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. |
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, or your ways my ways, says the Lord. | 8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. |
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. | 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. |
10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not go back again, but gives water to the earth, and makes it fertile, giving seed to the planter, and bread for food; | 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, |
11 So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it. | 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. |
12 For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy. | 12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. |
13 In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off. | 13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD's renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed." |

Roughly 35% of the financial professionals participating in the study indicated they utilized smartphones to access social media for business and personal use, versus 27% in last year's study. But 22% used mobile devices such as iPads and other tablets, twice the percentage of last year when only 11% said they did.
The study also found that six out of 10 advisors are using social media for business at least several times a week, with 27% accessing on a daily basis.
"Given the rapid growth trends in both smartphone and tablet device ownership, it's no surprise that social media access is growing through these devices, especially with apps that make it convenient to do so anywhere and anytime," said Jennifer Sussman, Director of Digital Engagement for American Century Investments.
Almost nine out of 10 financial professionals surveyed have a business or personal social profile or account.
"Reading expert commentary and insights" continued to be the leading planned use of social media this year, seeing a significant jump to 22% from 13% last year. "Sharing news and content relevant to my clients" was the second-most popular planned use, followed by "researching people, for example, prospects, contacts and current clients."
Sussman said American Century Investments is exploring ways to continue to make more of its content mobile-friendly.
"With the proliferation of mobile devices, it will be interesting to see if convenience will drive even higher frequency of access," she said.
The results of American Century Investments' Financial Professionals Social Media Adoption Study were drawn from an online survey of 300 financial professionals who are employed as financial advisors, brokers or registered investment advisors.

A number of stocks were upgraded and downgraded by equities research analysts today, as reported by Analyst Ratings Network (http://bit.ly/equitybriefdaily) and Equity Brief:
Johnson Rice downgraded shares of Mitcham Industries, Inc. (MIND) from an overweight rating to an equal weight rating.
Ladenburg Thalmann downgraded shares of McMoRan Expl (MMR) from a buy rating to a neutral rating.
Capital One downgraded shares of McMoRan Expl (MMR) from an add rating to a neutral rating.
JPMorgan Chase initiated coverage on shares of Marathon Petroleum (MPC). They issued a neutral rating on the stock and set a $62.00 price target.
JPMorgan Chase upgraded shares of Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (MPEL) from a neutral rating to an overweight rating. JPMorgan Chase now has a $20.00 price target on the stock, up previously from $14.00.
JPMorgan Chase initiated coverage on shares of MPLX LP (MPLX). They issued an overweight rating on the stock. They wrote, "With a deep drop-down inventory, complemented by organic growth opportunities, we believe Marathon Petroleum (MPC) has created a best in class growth MLP with MPLX. Moreover, long-term contracts with substantial minimum volume commitments and no direct commodity price exposure underpin ~73% of MPLX 2013e revenues. Although MPLX`s appreciation since the IPO lowers the upfront yield, we believe that MPLX`s substantial growth prospects offer attractive total return potential for long-term investors."
Zacks reiterated its underperform rating on shares of ArcelorMittal ADR (MT). They have a $15.00 price target on the stock.
Zacks reiterated its neutral rating on shares of Murphy Oil Corp (MUR). They have a $59.00 price target on the stock. Zacks` analyst wrote, "Murphy Oil Corporation reported mixed results in third-quarter 2012, with revenue surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while earnings fell short of it. Murphy`s results were negatively impacted by lower North American natural gas sales prices. In addition, weaker U.S. retail marketing margins and an after tax loss from foreign exchange transactions added to the woes. As a consequence, both quarterly earnings and revenue fell short of the company`s year-ago numbers. The company`s positive value drivers are, significant progress in offshore drilling activities in Kurdistan and Eagle Ford Shale, natural gas discoveries in Malaysia and Brunei, and completion at the Three Forks zone of Southern Alberta may fuel its future performance. However, unstable oil prices, and uncertainty associated with drilling results will challenge the company`s forthcoming financial results. Hence, we retain our Neutral recommendation on the stock."
Zacks downgraded shares of NuStar Energy L.P. (NS) to an underperform rating.
Raymond James reiterated its outperform rating on shares of NetApp Inc. (NTAP). They have a $35.00 price target on the stock.

Best Mac and Cheese Denver 2013 - Mizuna
Readers' Choice: Steuben's
Macaroni and cheese, once a comfort-food staple of every Sunday supper, isn't what it used to be. The slightly chewy, sauce-soaked elbow macaroni and cheese at Mizuna is definitely not your grandmother's version — unless, that is, your nana favors sweet lobster meat in place of Oscar Meyer ham and silky mascarpone over Velveeta. The immodestly rich recipe, which originated with Thomas Keller, is completely hedonistic, its base of butter, cream and wine a luxurious invitation to submission.

First, the correct name is lamp, the bulb is the glass part, the complete assembly is a lamp.
At my home, I started experiencing some of the same problems others have described, apparent quick burnouts, lamps flickering on and off after several minutes or a few hours, etc. I believe that the problem in my case, and perhaps in many of the others, is "corrosion" or oxidation of the aluminum thread shell in the fixture and on the lamp base. The gritty result would make one believe that the lamp was properly tightened when it really was loose. Turning harder probably would separate the base from the glass. Lubricating the lamp base was the answer. I used vaseline, applied with finger, to thoroughly coat with minimal buildup on the lamp base. The lamps installed easily and no more problems. Incidentally, one of the clues to the real problem was that every failed lamp was then tested in another socket and most were not actually burned out. The threads just seized before they were tight enough. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I often use a carpenter's pencil to coat the lamp threads with graphite, allowing for a better installation. |
Just spin the bulb in your hair before installing... it really works! |

A new report out today from Kentucky Youth Advocates focuses on education but also shows close to a quarter of Kentucky's kids live in poverty.
For 22 years, KYA has released a County Data Book monitoring the health and well-being of Kentucky's 1 million children. This county data book is part of Kentucky's KIDS Count project.
Below is a table highlighting certain education measures in Jefferson County, including percentage of public school students on free and reduced lunch and spending per pupil. It shows some improvements, including an increase in the percentage of students graduating college within six years and a slight decrease in the percentage of students missing 10 percent or more school days in the school year. (These improvements mimic state trends.)
The report indicates that the number of children living in poverty in Jefferson County has grown, from 18.5 percent in 2000 to just over 23 percent from 2006-2010. Statewide, the number of children in poverty has reached 24.3 percent.
The 60-plus page report focuses much of its attention on Kentucky's alternative schools. During the 2011-2012 school year, 135 of Kentucky's 174 school districts used alternative education programs. In addition, 99 programs served children in state agency care, like juvenile justice institutions or day treatment programs.
While recent legislation did take action to install minimum standards for teachers in district-operated alternative schools, the report still calls for stronger oversight. Currently, no guidelines exist for funding, governance, staffing or effective programs. The report reads in part:
"Alternative education programs in Kentucky have shown great variance in success at educating students and getting students on track to succeed. Stronger oversight would ensure that all alternative education programs meet minimum standards for governance and achieving the educational goals of students."
The report points out that many alternative programs lack certified teachers in each of the main subject area. Aside from recommending that the programs follow Kentucky's certification standards that apply in traditional schools, the report recommends greater professional development for alternative school teachers as well as better support services (like tutoring) for enrolled students.
Other education related data shows 20.6 percent of births in Kentucky are to mothers with no high school degree. That's a slight dip from 22 percent in 2004-2006.
The report emphasizes the importance of early childhood education, particularly for children coming from low-income families and children with disabilities.
Here's a link to the full report.

Jimi Hendrix burned Monterey guitar sells at auction for £237,000
The guitar Jimi Hendrix is believed to have set alight in 1967 has been sold at auction for over £200,000.
An important part of rock history, the the black Fender Stratocaster was made famous after Hendrix set fire to it at the Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967. Although, legend has it that the guitar Hendrix was playing onstage was switched with a lesser, cheaper instrument moments before the burning.
James Wright, a manager at Hendrix's label, previously owned the original guitar and sold it for £237,000 at auction in London on Tuesday (November 27).
Speaking to The Metro, Wright explained the origins of the story and how Hendrix only set fire to the guitar to get one over on Pete Townshend of The Who, who had smashed up his guitar earlier in the day. "Jimi asked for some lighter fuel. He wanted to outdo Pete. At the time, it was his favourite guitar and he didn't want to ruin it."
The tracklisting for People, Hell & Angels, the forthcoming album of previously unreleased studio recordings by Jimi Hendrix, was revealed last week. The album will be released on March 4, 2013 and features 12 'new' songs, which see Hendrix experimenting with horns, keyboards, percussion and a second guitar.
The tracklisting for 'People, Hell & Angels' is:
'Earth Blues'
'Hear My Train A Comin''
'Bleeding Heart'
'Let Me Move You'
'Easy Blues'
'Crash Landing'
'Inside Out'
'Hey Gypsy Boy'
'Mojo Man'
'Villanova Junction Blues'
The tracks were recorded in 1968 and 1969 and were meant for 'First Days Of The New Rising Sun', the follow up to 'Electric Ladyland' that Hendrix was working on when he died in 1970.

"Great for Events"
My older mare gets somewhat wrapped up in endurance events and doesn't eat as well. A friend suggested giving her probiotics a few days before and during an event to be sure that her gut sounds stay normal. Rather than fight to push a paste into her, these cookies are the perfect solution. She loves them and gladly eats these treats. I give her 4-6/day starting 2-3 days before leaving for the event, and 6-8/day while at the event. Her gut sounds have improved remarkably as a result.
"Healthy Treat!!"
I have used these for over a year since my horse had a light colic. I had given him the paste when he got sick and it helped out immensely. I started using these daily in his morning feed to just keep everything going well. He loves them and has been healthy ever since. I like to think of it as an insurance policy that he enjoys and is easy on the pocket!!! I only give him 3 a day in his feed to maintain and he is about 1100 lbs.

Her original hit songs include "Say You'll Never", "Fantasy" and "Scratch My Name" among others number one hits in Russia and many other countries in Asia. As well top ten and top twenty positions in Europe. A compilation of her hit singles and choice tracks, "The Best of and More" was released in 2005.
She has recorded very successful covers such as Sylvester's "Do You Wanna Funk" and Modern Talking's "You're My Heart, You're My Soul." No. 1 hits in the U.S.A. dance-charts.
In addition to her dance cover version of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" under different project names as TEARS N' JOY No. 1 hit single in the Netherlands in the year 1993 – and top hit all over Europe and other very successful projects such as 2 EIVISSA "I Wanna Be Your Toy" and "Move Your Body" No. 1 hits in Spain in the year 1998/1999. As well as Fun Factory and Teeko X "Killing Me Sofly" DJ Music Award 1996 for Best Dance Track only mention some of them.
One of her recent successful No.1 hit single is "Young Hearts Run Free" released in Spain September 9, 2009 and "Minnie The Moocher" on September 11, 2012 – radio and club hit!
Her latest release is her new album "I GOT THE BEAT" from 2013:
Although the album has a lot of different kind of songs like "Around the World" (tribalhouse divalicious extravaganza) to electrohop "Shake Your Booty", the vision to produce an ultimate dance album is clearly visible. And on the top of this all, you get a new version of Lian's italo song "Say You'll Never" and a few tasty remixes.
It's fun, melodic and can be listened ten or twenty years from now. Lian Ross has made the BEST album this year!
P.S. The cover is absolutely gorgeous!

Two J.C. Penney stores in Montana are among 33 "underperforming" stores the company is closing nationwide.

The Maingear EPIC 180 Liquid CPU Cooler Continued
As with all of these AIO coolers, there is the rubber tubing getting stretched over the brass fittings on this radiator. Just above the fittings, the black non-permeable rubber tubing gets a covering of the ribbed black plastic.
During the trip to my house something made contact with the radiator and bent up some of the fins pretty good. Not a big deal to me personally, I will just straighten them out and move on.
The head unit is made of a textured black plastic like all the other CoolIT offerings. To single out this brand, a red Maingear logo is applied to the top. The 1.2W pump inside is powered with a 3-pin header and will run up to around 4200 RPM.
On the side it uses plastic ninety degree fittings that allow the hoses to be positioned in a manner that won't cause odd pressure or kinks in the tubing. This unit did not ship with any AMD mounting legs, so we can leave the screws that mount the Intel legs in place as there isn't the hardware to swap out to.
This unit also comes with thermal paste pre-applied. I have to assume that Maingear is assembling this system into their builds using this application of thermal paste.
For our testing we will be using MX-2, so I went ahead and removed the thermal paste. This exposes the brushed finish of the copper transfer plate. The majority of the base is flat and level, but just like all the rest, once near the screws, the base starts to deviate from square and level. Either way, the area that will make contact to the CPU is dead level and will do just fine installed on any CPU.

This, however, was a color that wasn't on sale... I just had to have it.
Please excuse my much shorter middle finger... it had an accident. This is a pretty color-accurate shot, and it really was opaque in one coat (I just did two out of habit). The formula was pretty easy to apply and it dried fairly quickly (I used the Speed Shine 10 Day Top Coat which, despite their claims, does not dry your nails in 30 seconds), and the color is fab.
So, go head to your nearest Walgreens and buy some nail treatments, ladies!

Those are really cute--and I like them lighted at night. I need to check into small solar light panels and see about costs, etc. What can you tell me about yours? |
I picked them up at HD. It's a 3 light set with a separate solar panel, it was $40.00 or thereabouts. I think it was this brand but I'm not sure. Either way they look like what I've used to light the house and poles. |

Jeanne, the outlet covers are supposed to be "windows" in the post. That's was my thought anyway... |

Plenty of my friends are looking

My name is Smoke!
Facts about Smoke
- Breed: Russian Blue
- Color: Gray Or Blue
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Smoke's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and not good with cats.
NOTE: This cat is being posted as a courtesy, and is not located at Ce-Ce & Friends. If you are interested in adopting Smoke, please call Bethany at 603.494.9883 or e-mail email@example.com.
Smoke is a strikingly handsome gent who looks like he's at least part Russian Blue. He's 8 years old, in great health, a real "people kitty" and a wonderful pet. Due to a family move, his loving owner is sadly seeking a new home for Smoke. Here's how she describes this great kitty:
"Wherever you are, Smoke will come find you and want to spend time with you. He loves sitting in a windowsill and looking outside. He always likes to be close to people, so at night he will try to sleep practically on your face. But with a little encouragement, he is content to sleep at your side, on the foot of your bed, or curled up in a rug or chair nearby.
Smoke has a broken tail that is sensitive to the touch. It was broken while he was a baby at the animal shelter. Even though he doesn't like if you touch the broken part of his tail, he always loves being petted. He is a smart cat and even likes watching TV!"
Smoke is neutered and up to date on all his shots. He would much prefer to be the only kitty in the household, though he has lived with other cats in the past.
Please call 603.494.9883 to learn more about Smoke!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Smoke, a Quincy Russian Blue cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Russian Blue for sale in Quincy, or seeking a Russian Blue cat from a breeder in Quincy.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Quincy 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 Quincy 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 Russian Blue breeders who help with Russian Blue rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Quincy paves the way for another one to be saved.

My name is Noel!
Facts about Noel
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Tan
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Noel's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Noel is a wonderful companion both to her people and other dogs. She is a tranquil and extremely friendly girl who is house-trained, crate-trained and leash-trained (and, not to brag about her too much, but she also has learned to sit and is working on shake and down). Besides her obvious adorableness, Noel loves to snooze when at home, go on long walks and play with other pooches. Noel is a wonderful family companion - she is happiest curled up in your lap and keeping her people company (kids and grown-ups!). She is estimated to be 1 year old and 29 pounds right now.
Since we don't know at all what doggy genes are in the dogs make up (we don't know who mom & dad are!), we are guessing on breed and size when grown.
Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 60 mile radius of Minneapolis.
If you are interested in meeting this dog or pup please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website at www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting in the foster home.
We also have an Adoptable Dog Meet & Greet on at Saturday May 18th Fetch Delivers Warehouse at 2303 Kennedy St. NE from noon - 2 pm.

Where there is a stink of shit, there is a smell of being...
There is a certain segment of the population that I call "Stinkers". Stinkers are people who have a particularly foul aroma and seem to be completely oblivious to that fact. They are dirty and unkempt and for some reason, they all shop at my store.
Now I don't know if being a Stinker goes along with being poor, uneducated, unemployed, elderly or having a developmental disability; but from the people I have encountered, these unfortunate circumstances appear to be contributing factors. It's really such a shame, because I wonder how their lives would be different if they just gave some attention to basic hygiene.
The odor is sour, like dirty musty laundry. It may be coming from their infrequently changed underwear or the winter coat that was dragged out of the closet, full of last years stink. I've smelled oily hair from three feet away and gagged over the smell of bad breath, and its funkier cousin, chronic halitosis. One tiny little elderly man came shuffling in, wearing a dark blue velvet suit. He looked quite dapper, but upon closer analysis he reeked of cat urine.
I keep a small bottle of fragranced spray under the desk to clear the air after a Stinker leaves. I feel like a bad person for being so repulsed by these odors. After all, I'm sure they are a natural byproduct of life, but is it really so hard to take a bath, brush your teeth and wash your clothes?

Random Catching Up
Since I moved back home with my family, I took a little break during the busy holiday season. I had full intentions of getting a job right way, but then there was snowstorm after snowstorm and there never seemed to be a good time to get out and job hunt. I reveled in each fresh blanket of snow; something about it absolutely enraptures me.
My car had been parked alongside the Morton building for about 2 weeks. Each time we scooped the driveway, the ridge of snow in front of it got bigger. Then right before my birthday, I decided to dig it out so that I could use it to go uptown to the local watering hole to commemorate the blessed event.
After a brisk 20 minutes of scooping, I was finally able to get to the car door. I figured I would start her up and let her run while I finished the job. Apparently the warm Missouri climate had spoiled Sadie and she didn't want to turn over in the chilly weather. I ended up borrowing mom's minivan for my birthday excursion instead. Over the next two days, my stepdad erected a shelter of sorts over the hood of my car. It was composed of plywood of various shapes and sizes, a tarp, cardboard and a baby swimming pool. Then he set up a heater and connected the battery charger and let it rejuvenate the engine. Eventually, she started and we were able to put her in the garage.
I finally got a job on February 1st. I drove Sadie to work the first 2 or 3 days. I had some trouble getting her started one day at lunch and then again that evening when I got off work. That night, on my way home, the air compressor went out (it hadn't worked right all summer either) and caused a terrible stink from under the hood. There is a turning part that decided to stop turning so the belt went over it and the friction was causing the belt to burn. I had the car looked at by our mechanic and he advised me that it wasn't worth fixing. The offending component was located under the engine and the cost of such a repair would be exorbitant.
Since that time, my parents have been really good sports about ushering me around. My stepdad drops me off in the morning and picks me up after work each day. Fortunately, we live only about a mile from the 'business district' aka 'uptown' aka 'the square'. I'm also lucky that my mother works about 2 blocks away and that we can go to lunch together nearly everyday.

Human Capital News Roundup: Racial disparities and life expectancy, colonoscopies, training on suicide risk and more.
Around the country, the news media is covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation scholars, fellows and grantees. Here are some examples.
In a story about the 75th anniversary of the College of Nursing at Montana State University, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle cites research being conducted by two Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Nurse Faculty Scholars who are faculty at the University: Laura Larsson, PhD, MPH, RN, and Sandra Kuntz, PhD, RN. Larsson is researching ways to reduce radon exposure among low-income people, and Kuntz is researching mercury exposure on two Indian reservations. Read a post Larsson wrote for the RWJF Human Capital Blog.
Medical News Today reports on a study by RWJF Clinical Scholars program alumna Nazleen Bharmal, MD, MPP, which examined racial disparities and life expectancy by state. Bharmal's study was published in a special "Bridging the Gap between Research and Health Policy" edition of Health Services Research. The issue features studies by current Clinical Scholars and alumni. Read a post Bharmal wrote for the RWJF Human Capital Blog. Learn more about the special issue of Health Services Research.
WYPR-FM spoke to RWJF Community Health Leader Joanne Goldblum about the newly-formed National Diaper Bank Network, which will distribute 20 million diapers donated by Huggies manufacturer Kimberly-Clark to local diaper banks across the country. Goldblum founded the New Haven Diaper Bank in Connecticut when she realized that low-income families could not receive diapers through federal assistance programs like food stamps.
Elizabeth Wildsmith, PhD, spoke to Scripps Howard News Service and the Honolulu Civil Beat about a study by Child Trends finding that the majority of women under 30 in the United States with children are not married. Wildsmith is a research scientist with Child Trends and an alumna of the RWJF Health & Society Scholars program. The New York Times also reported on the group's findings.
Health & Society Scholars alumna Jennifer Stuber, PhD, spoke to the Seattle Times about the importance of suicide-risk training for mental health providers. Stuber testified before the Washington state legislature on the issue after her husband took his own life. She said that her husband's psychologist and psychiatrist had both told him they thought he should be hospitalized because he was a danger to himself, but took no further steps to follow up on that conclusion.
Thomas Tsang, MD, MPH, FACP, an alumnus of the RWJF Health Policy Fellows program, co-authored a piece for the Health Affairs blog on measuring quality in health care.
Miller-McCune cites a 2010 study co-authored by Health & Society Scholar Jimi Adams, PhD, that cast doubt on the notion that, for African American males whose families live in poverty, "sport is a pathway to upward mobility." Many African American NBA players grew up in middle-class or upper-class households, the researchers found, and a smaller percentage of their families lived below the poverty line than the population as a whole.
Chicago Go Price profiled Community Health Leader Joe Hollendoner, MSW, who was recently appointed senior vice president of programs at the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. Hollendoner is founder of the Broadway Youth Center, a program of the Howard Brown Health Center, to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth who are homeless.
RWJF Investigator Award in Health Policy Research recipients Robert Sampson, PhD, and Greg Duncan, PhD, spoke to Reuters about a new study that finds nearly 8 million children in the United States live in high-poverty areas, up from 6.3 million in 2000.
Barbara Katz Rothman, PhD, also an Investigator Award recipient and a sociologist at City University of New York, commented to NPR about a study that finds stem cells in ovarian tissue can be developed into eggs. The finding holds promise for restoring fertility in infertile or older women. "We're creating a world one in which it's increasingly hard for people to have children when they're young, and then saying, 'But wait, we have solutions, technology—we can do it when you're older.' And that's the part that disturbs me," Rothman said.
"The important message is clear: colonoscopy saves lives," Fritz Francois, MD, an RWJF Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development program scholar, told the ABC News Medical Unit blog. He was referring to a new study that shows the value of the preventative screening procedure on the rate of colorectal cancer deaths. The study finds that, compared to the general population, people who have polyps removed during a colonoscopy reduce their risk of dying from colorectal cancer by more than 50 percent over the next decade.
Two Health & Society Scholars were featured in college newspapers: Eran Magen, PhD, in the University of Pennsylvania's Daily Pennsylvanian, discussing an initiative to tackle student stress; and Mark Hatzenbuehler, PhD, in the University of North Carolina (UNC) Daily Tar Heel, after he spoke at an "Equality Matters" lecture hosted by UNC's Sexuality Studies program.
Dr. Bicuspid writes about the RWJF Summer Medical and Dental Education program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Dentistry. The program for college freshmen and sophomores, which teaches students about disparities in health care, is in its eighth year at UCLA.
RWJF Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative (INQRI) grantee Joel Cantor, ScD, spoke to NJ Spotlight about a bill to create a health insurance exchange in New Jersey. Cantor is director of the Rutgers Center for State Health Policy, which is helping to design the insurance exchange.
A small study led by Clinical Scholar Lisa DeCamp, MD, finds Latina moms value a pediatrician's personality and empathy over their knowledge of Spanish and convenience of hours, MediLixicon and Science Codex report.

Bob Mould with Jason Narducy & Jon Wurster / Cymbals Eat Guitars
Well into his fourth decade as a singer-songwriter, Bob Mould is as relevant, ferocious, and poignant as he has ever been on the compact epic that is Beauty & Ruin. Instead of sitting idle and going quiet, Bob chooses to confront head-on and plow through the psychic turbulence that comes with this stage of life. Much of Beauty & Ruin deals with the passing of Mould's father in October 2012, Bob's struggle to come to terms with it, himself, and his own identity and legacy, and repercussions of all of the above on his ongoing relationships in the land of the living. Beauty & Ruin is a twelve-track journey of loss, reflection, conciliation, and coming through the other side. Beauty & Ruin is a challenging work of raw beauty—and may well be Bob Mould's finest work since his 1989 solo debut, Workbook. WSG: Cymbals Eat Guitars
