As your prototypical sexually active straight man, you can imagine I've had my fair share of forays betwixt the sheets. And over the course of my escapades, I've learned that perfection isn't always easy to achieve in the bedroom, especially when it comes to birth control. A broken condom here, a forgotten pill there – the next thing you know, you're having nightmares about changing diapers and shopping for onesies.
Of course, the more likely outcome of a birth control breakdown is an unintended pregnancy scare, not an unintended pregnancy. Still, the resulting situation can be rather unpleasant. For a guy, emotions range from apathy to pulse-pounding fear. For a girl, initial concern is followed by massive, crippling panic. Although the "morning-after" pill is 89 percent effective in preventing contraception, it has no proven effect on the fighting, resentment and bitterness that often arise from a surprise pregnancy scare.
However, through careful trial and lots of error, I have stumbled upon a few rules of engagement that can prevent even the most terrifying of pregnancy scares from causing long-term relationship complications. Keep reading »

New radiators, too close and is it dangerous to be that close to the window?
we have a new gas combi boiler installed in 3 bed house. Plus new radiators in every room. In the living room the radiator is installed just next to the edge of the window , same level, not even 1 cm away from it. I am worried that the heat might affect the window in the future. Is it too close and is it dangerous to be that close to the window ? Thanks - Ychristina_59 7th Dec, 2012 Central Heating

Hello Christina-59
It sounds like your radiators have been installed exactly as they should be. Your windows are the main area of heat loss from a room which is why radiators are situated below them where possible. It sounds to me as if you have quite low windows which hasn`t left much room for the radiator and this is why they are so close to the window sill. Rest assured that no damage will come to your windows because of the proximity of your rads,- love gas limited 13th May, 2013

on October 23, 2012Which presents the question, while Charlie is en route back from Florida (make sure to catch him on MSNBC's The Cycle at 3:40 Eastern): What's been your favorite "meme" of an endless debate cycle (32 strong, if you count Gingrich-Huntsman, but who's counting) that, for better or worse (mostly worse, but still entertaining), has been driven on the Intertoobz by things like oversized yellow puppets and $10,000 bets? A few thoughts from Stephen Marche here, a few primary memories from Charlie here, and comments open for the afternoon. There will be guests.

Breakfast Topic: What makes a guild great? {WoW}
Jan 23rd 2011 2:16PM My guild is my online family, and my roommates comprise most of it's officers and it's founding body. i could never even dream of leaving! and that's what makes it so awesome, the sense of kinship and closeness that glues our small guild together.
World of WarCrafts: Make your own amigurumi baby murloc for charity {WoW}

Breakfast Topic: When your gaming gets emotionally charged {WoW}
Jun 4th 2010 7:52PM I have to say my most emotional moment in the game was when my little family guild downed Marrowgar for the first time the other night. for the longest time none of us have been able to raid, and we really weren't sure we could handle the rigors of ICC. but this week, it was our weekly. so i said, 'hell with it, lets give it a shot.' a few hours later, after pugging our group, making sure we have everything we needed, and entering... there we were, trash cleared, Marrowgar and our first ICC kill waiting just ahead of us.
it took 3 tries. the first, not everyone was familiar with the fight. a few players were in the flames, some on bones spikes too long. I myself actually died of a bone spike on the last try because i was too far away from the group.
but there it was. I heart pounded out of my chest and my vision started to blur as i watched his health slowly count from 10% to 0%. it took a moment for it to set in...'we just did it!' that few seconds felt like hours.
sadly we were not in vent with the group, but you could feel the excitement as people darted across the huge pile of bones we'd just made. and the whooping around me (wife and guildees play together) was more than enough to let me know how huge a moment it was for us!

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: | 1 The word of the LORD came to me: |
2 Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother. | 2 "Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother. |
3 And they committed fornication in Egypt, in their youth they committed fornication: there were their breasts pressed down, and the teats of their virginity were bruised. | 3 They became prostitutes in Egypt, engaging in prostitution from their youth. In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed. |
4 And their names were Oolla the elder, and Ooliba her younger sister: and I took them, and they bore sons and daughters. Now for their names, Samaria is Oolla, and Jerusalem is Ooliba | 4 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.#cr |
5 And Oolla committed fornication against me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that came to her, | 5 "Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians--warriors |
6 Who were clothed with blue, princes, and rulers, beautiful youths, all horsemen, mounted upon horses. | 6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all of them handsome young men, and mounted horsemen. |
7 And she committed her fornications with those chosen men, all sons of the Assyrians: and she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all them on whom she doted. | 7 She gave herself as a prostitute to all the elite of the Assyrians and defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after. |
8 Moreover also she did not forsake her fornications which she had committed in Egypt: for they also lay with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured out their fornication upon her. | 8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when during her youth men slept with her, caressed her virgin bosom and poured out their lust upon her. |
9 Therefore have I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assyrians, upon whose lust she doted. | 9 "Therefore I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians, for whom she lusted. |
10 They discovered her disgrace, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: and they became infamous women, and they executed judgments in her. | 10 They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters and killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women, and punishment was inflicted on her. |
11 And when her sister Ooliba saw this, she was mad with lust more than she: and she carried her fornication beyond the fornication of her sister. | 11 "Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister. |
12 Impudently prostituting herself to the children of the Assyrians, the princes, and rulers that came to her, clothed with divers colours, to the horsemen that rode upon horses, and to young men all of great beauty. | 12 She too lusted after the Assyrians--governors and commanders, warriors in full dress, mounted horsemen, all handsome young men. |
13 And I saw that she was defiled, and that they both took one way. | 13 I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way. |
14 And she increased her fornications: and when she had seen men painted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans set forth in colours | 14 "But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans portrayed in red, |
15 And girded with girdles about their reins, and with dyed turbans on their heads, the resemblance of all the captains, the likeness of the sons of Babylon, and of the land of the Chaldeans wherein they were born, | 15 with belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea. |
16 She doted upon them with the lust of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them into Chaldea. | 16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. |
17 And when the sons of Babylon were come to her to the bed of love, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was glutted with them. | 17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. |
18 And she discovered her fornications, and discovered her disgrace: and my soul was alienated from her, as my soul was alienated from her sister. | 18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. |
19 For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she played the harlot in the land of Egypt | 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt |
20 And she was mad with lust after lying with them whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and whose issue as the issue of horses. | 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. |
21 And thou hast renewed the wickedness of thy youth, when thy breasts were pressed in Egypt, and the paps of thy virginity broken | 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled. |
22 Therefore, Ooliba, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will raise up against thee all thy lovers with whom thy soul hath been glutted: and I will gather them together against thee round about. | 22 "Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will stir up your lovers against you, those you turned away from in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side-- |
23 The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, and the kings, and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, beautiful young men, all the captains, and rulers, the princes of princes, and the renowned horsemen. | 23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, handsome young men, all of them governors and commanders, chariot officers and men of high rank, all mounted on horses. |
24 And they shall come upon thee well appointed with chariot and wheel, a multitude of people: they shall be armed against thee on every side with breastplate, and buckler, and helmet: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee by their judgments. | 24 They will come against you with weapons, chariots and wagons and with a throng of people; they will take up positions against you on every side with large and small shields and with helmets. I will turn you over to them for punishment, and they will punish you according to their standards. |
25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, which they shall execute upon thee with fury: they shall cut off thy nose and thy ears: and what remains shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons, and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by fire. | 25 I will direct my jealous anger against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and those of you who are left will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and daughters, and those of you who are left will be consumed by fire. |
26 And they shall strip thee of thy garments, and take away the instruments of thy glory. | 26 They will also strip you of your clothes and take your fine jewelry. |
27 And I will put an end to thy wickedness in thee, and thy fornication brought out of the land of Egypt: neither shalt thou lift up thy eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more. | 27 So I will put a stop to the lewdness and prostitution you began in Egypt. You will not look on these things with longing or remember Egypt anymore. |
28 For thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hands of them whom thou hatest, into their hands with whom thy soul hath been glutted. | 28 "For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am about to hand you over to those you hate, to those you turned away from in disgust. |
29 And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and they shall take away all thy labours, and shall let thee go naked, and full of disgrace, and the disgrace of thy fornication shall be discovered, thy wickedness, and thy fornications. | 29 They will deal with you in hatred and take away everything you have worked for. They will leave you naked and bare, and the shame of your prostitution will be exposed. Your lewdness and promiscuity |
30 They have done these things to thee, because thou hast played the harlot with the nations among which thou wast defiled with their idols. | 30 have brought this upon you, because you lusted after the nations and defiled yourself with their idols. |
31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister and I will give her cup into thy hand. | 31 You have gone the way of your sister; so I will put her cup into your hand. |
32 Thus saith the Lord God: Thou shalt drink thy sister's cup, deep and wide: thou shalt be had in derision and scorn, which containeth very much. | 32 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "You will drink your sister's cup, a cup large and deep; it will bring scorn and derision, for it holds so much. |
33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness, and sorrow: with the cup of grief and sadness, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. | 33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of ruin and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria. |
34 And thou shalt drink it, and shalt drink it up even to the dregs, and thou shalt devour the fragments thereof, thou shalt rend thy breasts: because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. | 34 You will drink it and drain it dry; you will dash it to pieces and tear your breasts. I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD. |
35 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast forgotten me, and hast cast me off behind thy back, bear thou also thy wickedness, and thy fornications. | 35 "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Since you have forgotten me and thrust me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your lewdness and prostitution." |
36 And the Lord spoke to me, saying: Son of man, dost thou judge Oolla, and Ooliba, and dost thou declare to them their wicked deeds | 36 The LORD said to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then confront them with their detestable practices, |
37 Because they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and they have committed fornication with their idols: moreover also their children, whom they bore to me, they have offered to them to be devoured. | 37 for they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them. |
38 Yea, and they have done this to me. They polluted my sanctuary on the same day, and profaned my sabbaths | 38 They have also done this to me: At that same time they defiled my sanctuary and desecrated my Sabbaths. |
39 And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, and went into my sanctuary the same day to profane it: they did these things even in the midst of my house. | 39 On the very day they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my sanctuary and desecrated it. That is what they did in my house. |
40 They sent for men coming from afar, to whom they had sent a messenger: and behold they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, and didst paint thy eyes, and wast adorned with women's ornaments. | 40 "They even sent messengers for men who came from far away, and when they arrived you bathed yourself for them, painted your eyes and put on your jewelry. |
41 Thou sattest on a very fine bed, and a table was decked before thee: whereupon thou didst set my incense, and my ointment. | 41 You sat on an elegant couch, with a table spread before it on which you had placed the incense and oil that belonged to me. |
42 And there was in her the voice of a multitude rejoicing: and to some that were brought of the multitude of men, and that came from the desert, they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads. | 42 "The noise of a carefree crowd was around her; Sabeans were brought from the desert along with men from the rabble, and they put bracelets on the arms of the woman and her sister and beautiful crowns on their heads. |
43 And I said to her that was worn out in her adulteries: Now will this woman still continue in her fornication. | 43 Then I said about the one worn out by adultery, 'Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is.' |
44 And they went in to her, as to a harlot: so went they in unto Oolla, and Ooliba, wicked women. | 44 And they slept with her. As men sleep with a prostitute, so they slept with those lewd women, Oholah and Oholibah. |
45 They therefore are just men: these shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as shedders of blood are judged: because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. | 45 But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of women who commit adultery and shed blood, because they are adulterous and blood is on their hands. |
46 For thus saith the Lord God: Bring a multitude upon them, and deliver them over to tumult and rapine: | 46 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Bring a mob against them and give them over to terror and plunder. |
47 And let the people stone them with stone, and let them be stabbed with their swords: they shall kill their sons and daughters, and their houses they shall burn with fire. | 47 The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords; they will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses. |
48 And I will take away wickedness out of the land: and all women shall learn, not to do according to the wickedness of them. | 48 "So I will put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not imitate you. |
49 And they shall render your wickedness upon you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols: and you shall know that I am the Lord God. | 49 You will suffer the penalty for your lewdness and bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD." |

Microsoft and Sky are offering free Microsoft Points as an incentive to get more people to sign up for the latter's Now TV streaming video service.
If you sign up for a free 30-day trial through Now TV's special Xbox site, you'll get 800 Microsoft Points added to your Xbox Live account.
If you then decide to continue after those 30 days and pay £8.99 for another month's access, you'll be credited with another 1600 Points for a total of 2400 Points.
For those unfamiliar with it, Now TV is Sky's equivalent to Lovefilm and Netflix, offering streaming movies on demand through various Xbox 360, PC and iOS apps. While it's more expensive than its competitors (£8.99 for the first three months then £15 a month afterwards), that premium cost does mean many of its films are more recent, roughly in line with the Sky Movies selection.
You need to be a new Now TV member to take advantage of the offer, so if you've already tried it out you're out of luck. You can find all the details on Now TV's Xbox site - if nothing else it's worth doing the free trial to get your free 800 Points, as long as you remember to cancel before the 30 days run out. You'll need to watch at least 90 minutes' worth of video during that 30 days for it to count.

Charge Models
Standardized relativities have been developed for allowed and billed charges using Medicare data. The data is case-mix, severity and geographic (based on Medicare's allowed cost differences by Metropolitan Statistical Area) adjusted. Thus, every hospital is compared on a standardized basis to the national average, for their own cases; they are not converted to some hypothetical standard case/severity mix. So an index of 1.4 implies charges of 40% above national average for that hospital's cases. Since all hospitals are compared to the same standard, they are also compared directly to each other through their relative charge/cost index. This analysis is done on both a per diem and per case basis. The unadjusted dollar per diems and per case charges are also included.
Also included is the Medicare allowed cost to charge ratio for each hospital used in the Medicare Pricer program to price interim outlier payments for Medicare cases. This helps provide a rough idea of the hospitals costs. This cost to charge ratio reflects various Medicare cost limits and applies to medical/surgical cases. The cost to charge ratio would typically be higher for psych/sub abuse cases because the markups are generally higher on ancillaries and these types of cases generally have much lower ancillaries. Current data is FY 2000 (10/99 to 9/2000) but 2001 data will be available by the end of the summer.
Medicare and commercial charge data have been compared from available state data sets. These are available in 18 to 20 states and comprise about two-thirds of total admissions. When compared, the state reported Medicare and commercial charges show nearly a 98% correlation between the two sets of charge per day. This gives strong credence to the assumption that the Medicare data is representative of commercial hospital charge levels.

CAIRO - Looking for Mr. and Mrs. Right, young Muslims are using the annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) to search for their soul mates.
Our networks are not as strong as they once were, Altaf Husain, an assistant professor of social work at Howard University and an ISNA trustee, told The Washington Post.
Young Muslims tell me, My parents can't help me because they don't know anyone where I live', said Huasin, an organizer of ISNA's annual speed dating and socializing known as the Matrimonial Banquet.
Hundreds of single men and women, ranging in age from 21 to 50, gathered at two matrimonial banquets organized during this year's convention.Muslim Challenges Dominate ISNA Convention
Young women sat on one side of a long rectangular table, while men close to their age sat across from them.
The pairs spend three minutes chatting, at the end of which the men moved down a seat to talk to the next woman.
Some guys aren't going to want to move. They will skip some girls, Nida, the moderator, said.
Some girls will end up with no one to talk to. We don't want that to happen.
In the course of two hours, there were to be 27 of these three-minute rounds, along with a dinner followed by a social hour, where they could mingle more freely.
Everyone wears a name tag. They exchange phone numbers and e-mails if anyone draws interest.
Participants must provide biographical information, including ethnic background and citizenship status. And then there are the telltale personal encounters.
Four rows of parents and other relatives are seated in the back of the ballroom, watching anxiously.
ISNA is the largest Muslim umbrella organization in North America and its annual convention draws nearly thousands of Muslims from across North America.
This year's convention, which concluded on Monday, September 3, tackled challenges facing Muslims and ways to boost Muslim civic engagement.
Getting involved in the 21st century's busy life, more Muslims were accepting the American-style matrimonial banquets as a solution to find their soul mates.
Increased mobility was a main cause behind the problem, getting the young away from extended families that could facilitate introductions.
People are not staying in one place, Husain said.
Another problem is that women outnumber men, including at the banquet, he said.
Islam prohibits premarital relations between men and women.
That means no dating in the conventional sense to protect the dignity and modesty of each, Husain said.
If a single Muslim was lucky to find his soul mate at the banquet, the next step is to meet the parents.
Muslims value the process of getting married not so much on the individual level, but as a process between two families, Husain said.
That way you can place a person in the context of several relationships.
ISNA already has an online matchmaking service to help Muslims find their soul-mates.The United States is home to a Muslim minority of between six to seven million.

Michigan Supreme Court Guardianship Task Force
The Wayne County Probate Court appointed a receiver, John M. Chase Jr. to attempt recovery of assets. His extensive and painstaking Preliminary Report documented substantial misfeasance, malfeasance, and non-feasance in compelling detail. The FBI investigated. The federal prosecutor convened a grand jury. The state attorney general promised action. The Representative Assembly of the State Bar passed a strongly-worded resolution by the Elder Law & Advocacy Section calling for a look at potential abuse of guardianship throughout the state.
The Michigan Supreme Court answered the State Bar resolution by convening a 24 member Guardianship Task Force, with a mission to examine how the judiciary, legislature, and executive branch agencies could better protect the interests of individuals for whom guardianship or conservatorship was brought. Members included legislators, judges, court staff, representatives of social services and mental health agencies, advocacy organizations for older adults and for individuals with developmental disabilities, gerontologists, attorneys, and the public, including five members of the Elder Law & Advocacy Section.
The Task Force created four committees, each to make recommendations to effect one of the following goals:
Review of available data, including the results of a survey of court practices conducted by the Task Force, revealed widely varying rates of guardianship among counties, non-compliance by some courts as to the required reviews, different methods of court review of annual reports and annual accountings, reluctance of some courts to use all available follow-up procedures on delinquent accounts, divergence on the qualifications and role of the GAL, and in requirements for additional documentation such as medical or other evaluations.
A second survey, of petitioners filing for guardianship, indicated that many were requested to do so by hospitals, nursing homes, and financial institutions as a condition of the individual being admitted or treated or receiving benefits. Even persons who had executed a durable power of attorney or other advance directive while competent were required to be under guardianship.
The Task Force unanimously approved eleven recommendations of three different types.
Recommendations on how to reduce unnecessary petitions for guardianships and conservatorships.
RECOMMENDATION 1: Each county should establish a local resource for citizens to help assess the need for guardianships and conservatorships, to share resources, to resolve issues outside the probate system, and to assist in developing alternatives to guardianships and conservatorships.
RECOMMENDATION 2: Existing statutory provisions for medical treatment decisions are inadequate or not recognized by many, and therefore, legislation should be explored.
Epic Effort Yields New Probate Code
Brad Geller
The legislature has enacted SB 209, the Estates and Protected Individuals Code (EPIC). The Code will replace the entire Revised Probate Code on April 1, 2000. The final, 389-page bill, was the result of prodigious work by the Probate and Estate Planning Section, legislators on the House Judiciary Sub-Committee, legislative staff, the banking and insurance industry, and advocacy organizations. The Elder Law and Advocacy Section played an active role with the goal of ensuring the bill furthered the interests of "consumers" in decedent estates, and well protected respondents in guardianship and conservatorship proceedings.
As enacted, the bill is an amalgam of the Uniform Probate Code, Michigan Revised Probate Code and suggested improvements to both those acts. A few of the changes to current law relative to decedent estates are:
Significant changes were made to adult guardianship and conservatorship proceedings. Some of these are highlighted below.
The legislation will necessitate changes to court rules and court forms;. Information will be provided to members as it becomes available.
As a service to its membership, the Elder Law and Advocacy Section is making available copies of EPIC. To order a copy, please use the order form on page 6 of this issue. Order Senate Bill 209.
Michigan Supreme Court Guardianship Task Force Continued
RECOMMENDATION 3: A broad education effort emphasizing the presumption of competency and alternatives to guardianship should be targeted particularly at hospitals, nursing homes, and other medical or psychological personnel.
RECOMMENDATION 4: Statutes and court rules should be changed so as to clarify that decisions of patient advocates have priority over all other substitute decision makers.
Recommendations to reduce granting of inappropriate petitions once filed
RECOMMENDATION 5: Probate Court forms used for petitioning the court for, and ordering the appointment of, a guardian or conservator should be amended so as to provide for, respectively, more screening information and separate findings on functional capacity and the necessity for the appointment.
RECOMMENDATION 6: Guardians ad litem should include information evaluating functional capacity in their investigations and reports to the court, and should recommend the use of mediation services to resolve disputes which may come up over the terms of a prospective guardianship.
RECOMMENDATION 7: Judges should have their initial mandatory training supplemented with instruction on cognitive and physical impairments, mental illness, and the aging process, and should periodically be required to receive subsequent training which both refreshes old standards and introduces new issues.
Recommendations on how better to manage guardianships and conservatorships
RECOMMENDATION 8: Minimum ethical standards for professional guardians and professional conservators should be promulgated and enforced.
RECOMMENDATION 9: Those courts failing to follow statutory and court rule requirements should be compelled by the Supreme Court to comply.
RECOMMENDATION 10: Statutes, court rules, forms, and practice should be changed so as to require the court to review the annual accountings of guardians and conservators, order bonds or restrictions in relation to property and estates, and confirm both the decision to sell real estate and the sale price.
RECOMMENDATION 11: Courts should increase the recruitment and training of volunteer guardians, and more guardians who are state-agency-funded and -monitored should be provided as guardians of last resort.
The Task Force report has been distributed by the Michigan Supreme Court to all legislators, the Governor, and all probate judges. As noted elsewhere in this newsletter, legislators have already introduced a package of bills designed to implement some of the recommendations, and these bills are expected to be taken up in the lame duck legislative session following the November elections. Further information will be forthcoming on what actions the Governor and his executive branch agencies as well as the Supreme Court, itself, is prepared to take to enact those recommendations applicable to their respective branches of government.
Copies of the Final Report and all committee recommendations are available via the order form on page 6. Order the Guardianship Reform Briefing Book.

Working from the founder's family recipe, Seattle Fudge's confectioners begin each batch by boiling ingredients—including chocolate, dairy cream, and nuts—in a copper kettle. After cooling the fudge on a marble table—a process that often sends the confection flying through the air—they form 25-pound loaves by hand. The whole process is on display at Seattle Fudge's red-and-white open kitchen, where onlookers can track every ingredient's journey from the kettle to trays of free samples. The store's 11 flavors include almond toffee crunch, chocolate amaretto, and minty, Oreo-specked vanilla fudge called Grasshopper, named in honor of the insect with an Oreo-only diet.
Along with the signature treat, Seattle Fudge's candy makers whip up saltwater taffy, showcasing old-fashioned taffy pullers and cutters. Available in blue raspberry and pink vanilla, cotton candy is also spun fresh onsite. Tubs of regular and caramel popcorn offer salty alternatives to sweet snacks. In addition to Seattle Center, where the fudge shop has been a fixture since 1981, Seattle Fudge's sweets are sold at local fairs and festivals throughout the year.
From three locations, Family Fun Centers & Bullwinkle's Restaurant foster lifelong memories for kids and their caretakers as they bond over bouts of miniature golf, laser-tag shootouts, and bumper-car derbies. Visitors taller than 58 inches challenge each other to go-kart races, while smaller thrill seekers practice Napoleonic siege techniques at the indoor fun fortress. Outside, human slingshots hurl visitors safely through the air in harnessed flights, and indoor rollercoaster simulators re-create the twists and turns of amusement-park rides or malfunctioning monorails. After perfecting swings at 18 holes of mini golf or 25-pitch batting cages, visitors chow down at the Bullwinkle-themed restaurant, feasting on crowd-pleasing park fare such as pizza, burgers, salads, wraps, and corn dogs. Attractions vary by location. Valid only at the Tukwila and Edmonds locations.
Blanketed in wall-to-wall trampolines, Sky High Sports delights barefoot fun-seekers with springy terrain and an exclusive court for jumpers 8 and younger. Guests can hone front flips, back flips, and belly flops during intense free-bounce sessions. Each trampoline comes equipped with a specially designed spring-loaded frame and thick, 2-inch safety pads that grant patrons a landing cushier than a corner office at a marshmallow factory. Stuffed with blocks of spongy, body-molding material, a foam pit dares treasure-seekers to fling themselves in or scour its depths for the lost contents of bygone pockets. Pintsize aerialist posses can safely practice their synchronized Salchows on 360 degrees of trampoline walls while court supervisors watch from the sidelines and award hard-earned praise with oversize scorecards.
Sky High also offers AIRobics fitness classes and monthly dodge-ball tournaments to help jumpers explore the outermost stratospheres of trampoline possibilities.
In the early 1950s, Prentice Bloedel retired early from leading his family's timber business and devoted all his time to the creation of his gardens. A pioneer in renewable resources and sustainability?Bloedel was the first to use sawdust as a fuel in his mills?he was deeply interested in how people fit into the natural world. Today, the Bloedel Reserve stands as a testament to that interest, a world-renowned public garden with 150 acres of landscapes and natural woodlands for guests to lose themselves in.
Here, visitors build bonds with nature simply by walking around, which is far safer than agreeing to a blind date with an azalea bush. During a stroll across the Reserve, visitors come upon the moss garden and its living carpet, stop for quiet contemplation at the reflection pool, and join a cast of wild critters at the bird refuge. Of all the property's features, though, the Puget Sound view might be most impressive. This panoramic vista to the northeast peers out across the Puget Sound, Jefferson Point, and the Cascade Mountains, giving a glimpse of the nature's grandeur.
The buzz of motors rises and falls as bright-red blurs zip around the track at PGP Motorsports Park. Here, in the shadow of Mount Rainier, racers ages 15 and older loop around an 8/10-mile track at speeds of up to 48 miles per hour, leaning back in the ergonomic seats of Italian-built Birel N35 karts. The 30-foot-wide asphalt track can be altered to take on 12 different configurations and is centered in a velodrome, which puts spectators at an elevated angle so they get a good line of sight no matter where they sit.
For safety reasons, drivers should wear long sleeves and pants and closed-toe shoes. Drivers are equipped with helmets and driving suits, and since races take place rain or shine, they will also be provided with rain gear that includes waterproof gloves and booties.

My fascination with Bad Boys began in the same junior high locker room where I first discovered the jock strap.
His name was Tony G. He was a badass even in the 7th Grade. Tony was a short, muscular fella with smooth, olive skin and a thin, black mustache. He wore a slight scowl where others wore a smile.
I never spoke with Tony. He was unapproachable, and we didn't run in the same circles. But we shared the same P.E. class the first semester of junior high, and I befriended him from a distance.
Tony's locker was on the other side of the room, but he occasionally used the shower head closest to mine. My heart raced whenever I saw Tony naked. I was a late bloomer and never took showers after class -- I was too embarrassed to expose myself in front of the boys who were developing into men around me. So I would fiddle with things in my locker and steal quick glances at Tony in the shower.
Tony had a magnificent body, more athletic than beefy but with ample muscle mass. Yet, it was the dense, black pubic hair surrounding his meaty cock and taut ballsack that made him exceptional. The water would crash over his shoulders, run down his chest, and get lost in the wiry thicket of his black pubic hair. It was borderline hypnotic, and on more than one occasion I had to dart my eyes to avoid being caught.
To this day, I still steal glances in the locker room in hopes of finding a man with a black bush as beautiful as Tony's. I'm still looking.

Boys Basketball: Niners thrive on road, top Noll
By Mike Hutton 648-3139 or email@example.com February 22, 2013 10:14PM
Andrean's Nick Davidson and several Bishop Noll players fight for a rebound at Bishop Noll Institute on Friday, February 22, 2013. | Jim Karczewski~for Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: March 24, 2013 6:16AM
HAMMOND — There was a little extra oomph in Skyler Moss' step Friday when he ambled onto the court. The crowd was loud and the Bishop Noll gym was hopping, just the way Moss likes it.
Moss was the matchup nightmare for Bishop Noll — and Andrean knew it.
The 59ers took full advantage of Moss' extra-wide body Friday in a regular season-ending 61-47 victory over the Warriors.
Noll got the full monty treatment in the lane from Moss, who definitely got the better end of whichever Warriors player tried to guard him. None of them had much luck. Moss finished with a game-high 19 points and nine rebounds.
"Skyler was really locked in," Andrean coach Carson Cunningham said.
Moss said the environment — the rowdy, full-house crowd — had him revved up.
"The crowd definitely excited me," Moss said. "But my team was also exciting to play with. We played well."
There were plenty of good moments and good plays for the 59ers, who put last week's Munster loss behind them with a victory over Hammond earlier this week.
They got the usual steady play from Nick Davidson, who walked off the court with 10 points and two plugs in his nose after he caught an elbow that caused a bloody gusher.
Sam Toporski finished with a solid 15 points. JJ Bosak, who has seen a little more time off the bench, scored a bucket and Nick Podkul, definitely a big part of the 59ers team for next year, had a 3-pointer.
Cunningham said his team (17-3) has played well this season.
"We have played seven teams in the top 50 and beat four of them," he said. "We lost tight ones to Penn and Munster. The thing is, whether we won or lost tonight, we have to get better tomorrow because the tournament is coming."
Those are words Noll needs to heed.
The Warriors were good offensively for spurts but they couldn't maintain any consistency.
Andrean jumped ahead early and Noll never really recovered.
The 59ers took an 11-8 lead after Toporski scored with 3:08 left in the first quarter. A 3-pointer by Larry Crisler on the next possession tied the game.
The 59ers finished the quarter leading 15-12. They expanded their lead to 28-22 at halftime.
After Crisler opened the third quarter with a 3-pointer, cutting the lead to 28-25, Noll's offense went into complete hibernation.
The Warriors scored one point on a Crisler free throw with 5:01 left in the third and then they didn't score again until Tyreon Gates scored with 3:57 left. By then, the score was 38-28.
Noll never could get any closer than nine points. The biggest Andrean lead was 16.
Noll coach Drew Trost said the sputtering offense is a matter of finding some alternate scoring from anyone other than Crisler, Gates or Matt Sandoval.
He said the Crisler, who averages 20 points per game, sometimes feels burdened.
"I think he tries to do too much and then the other guys stand around and watch him," he said.

The long-awaited Ridgewood Reservoir master plan proposal has finally been presented.
After years of testing, land surveys and flora and fauna assessments, the Parks Department has come up with three possible uses for the Ridgewood Reservoir in Highland Park.
At a special public meeting of Community Board 5, Katie Raschdorf, the consultant project manager, gave a presentation outlining what has been referred to as Phase II of the Ridgewood Reservoir Project.
"These ideas are based on input we received from the community," she said. "We took those comments and came up with proposals that we feel best honor the wishes of the community."
Attendees were excited to hear about a proposed water playground, visiting center and walking paths.
There is just one problem. There is no funding for the project.
"We're asking those who like any or all of the ideas presented here to talk to your elected officials and tell them to help fund the project," Raschdorf said.
The three plans range from offering little access to greater access to the three basins.
Concept Plan A features the least amount of renovating. The public would have access to the third basin through a gated ramp that would be locked after operating hours. Ecological and educational nodes would be placed along the pathway for tour groups and for people to lounge.
The pump house and gate house that were used when the land functioned as a reservoir would become security headquarters and restrooms.
"Plan A is the lightest touch," Raschdorf said. "Basins 1 and 2 will remain untouched and Basin 3 will be accessible through the new rampway that was completed recently."
Plan B features everything in Plan A in addition to turning Basin 3 into an open lawn. Basin 1 would be 100 percent controlled access, meaning only tour groups would be permitted to walk through, and Basin 2 would allow canoe and small boat access.
Finally, Plan C features even more access to the basins and includes a water-themed playground, rock climbing and an enlarged lawn for sports fields.
"These plans aren't set in stone either," Raschdorf said. "You can say you like parts of Plan A but also want this part from Plan B."
Those who sat in on the meeting seemed optimistic after Raschdorf, who would not allow her photograph to be taken or provide her name for the press, presented the proposals. Her name was obtained through a Google search.
But those feelings quickly waned when the lack of funding was mentioned.
"If there is no funding then why are we even talking about this?" one man asked.
When asked how much the projects would cost, many found Raschdorf's answer to be, again, disappointing.
"We do not have a cost estimation," she said.
The statement was met with groans and disapproving head-shaking.
"We have had a big problem with Parks in the past," attendee Lou Widerka said. "You made a great presentation but we have had many issues with the Parks Department. I will say that I am happy you were so thorough."
The board decided to revisit the subject in August when members will vote on each of the plans and come up with a recommendation.
"I just hope that whatever the final result is, that it will contain as much of the land's original character as possible," Joy Fieldstadt said. "With so much going on in a city like ours, I think we deserve a quiet place with trees where people can go and just enjoy the land."
For now, the land sits surrounded by fencing and "Do Not Enter" signs posted in front of the entrance.
It will continue to sit until elected officials decide to fund one of the projects. As the plans are in the early design stages, the future of the reservoir remains unclear.

I am new to growing strep. seeds. I have some seeds that have leaves that are not quite 1/2" long that are getting leggy. Should I pot them into their own little pots. If I do this should I bury the stems so the leggy part is in the dirt. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Be careful with burying stems . Streptocarpus should be grown as a king of the hill - and covering center is a recipe for the rot. You can repot them - or just lift them up and put them back in the same pot - stimulates root development. Streps like more light than AV - so if you grow them under lights - you can just place them closer to the lights. The second thing - you can start fertilizing them - like spraying with a weak solution of the fish emulsion. Good Luck Irina |

Thanks Irina, light may be my problem. I think I will find a way to get them closer to the lights. |

The second date gives organisations interested in becoming Green Deal installers or assessors - who missed the previous roadshows including the London launch event last month – the chance to find out more about the skills required under the Government's flagship initiative to improve the energy efficiency of UK homes and businesses.
The new session in London on 21February has, like the rest of the series of Connections events, been organised by the Green Deal Alliance (GDSA), a partnership of three sector skills councils –SummitSkills, Asset Skills and CITB-ConstructionSkills.
The half-day sessions are free and will benefit those currently working in the installation and maintenance of renewable environmental technologies, or organisations who are interested in expanding their business into these areas. They also cover the skills needs for Green Deal energy advisors and building fabric/insulation installers.
As the October 2012 launch date of Green Deal gets closer, the sessions are proving increasingly popular, with most sessions being oversubscribed. The new London event will provide another opportunity for those who may have missed out.
The remaining Green Deal Connections events taking place are:
Registration can be completed online at www.Assetskills.org.uk/GreenSkills/GreenDealConnections.aspx Marshall, OBE, Chief Executive of SummitSkills, said: "There has been so much talk recently about Green Deal that not surprisingly many employers tell us they are unsure of where to start to prepare their people and their organisations to support and take advantage of the initiative.
"These events will guide visitors through the mass of information towards exactly what potential installers of environmental technologies need to know. Working with our partners Asset Skills and ConstructionSkills has enabled us to make the most of our joint resources and of each sector skills council's expertise in their industries."
Sarah Bentley, Chief Executive Designate of Asset Skills, said: "The government is committed to cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050. It is crucial that you attend this event if you want to remain at the forefront of the Green Deal and acquire the necessary information on the skills and accreditations needed to advise on and install new green technologies."
Mark Farrar, Chief Executive of CITB-ConstructionSkills, said: "It is vital that firms, particularly SMEs, are able to meet demand for the construction of low carbon technology, as well as knowing how not to fall foul of changing regulations. We want to help SMEs understand the impact of new legislative requirements affecting carbon emissions and develop the right skills to respond to this demand. We need to ensure that government and larger contractors adequately support SMEs in meeting green skills needs."
The GDSA will develop and implement the Green Deal Competency Framework, which aims to develop common standards and qualifications to sit across all aspects of Green Deal assessment, advice and installation. The project is funded by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) through Phase One of the Employer Investment Fund (EIF).

I have two little apricot trees that are a year old and about a foot tall that I grew from the apricot pits from my trees. I stratified them and did get several to grow, they look pretty healthy. But I'm in zone 4, would your cherries grow here I wonder? I have a Montmorency cherry tree in my yard that tolerates the cold well. We have blizzards and subzero temperatures every year. |

If other applications need memory, the Store gives up some memory by transferring pages to the hard disk and shrinking the size of the buffer.

We could begin by talking about how Philadelphia was once a gourmet backwater, about how, culinarily speaking, visitors to this city were once limited to cheesesteaks, scrapple, and pepper pot. But by now that's such old news that it doesn't even seem worth mentioning. Over the last decade or so, Philadelphia has evolved into a bona fide dining destination, one that boasts every type of culinary
experience, from authentic ethnic cuisine to chef-owned storefront bistros to high-profile four-star dining rooms. And there's no indication the surge is slowing.
You can trace the current explosion back to the 1970s and '80s, when the openings of Le Bec-Fin, Friday Saturday Sunday, and the White Dog Café snuffed out the dark ages and heralded the beginning of a protracted dining renaissance. Soon, neighborhood by neighborhood, lights turned on and kitchens fired up. The march of the restaurants followed the march of development.
Exhibit A is mega-restaurateur Stephen Starr, who has opened more than a dozen of Philadelphia's most buzzed-about restaurants. He triggered the boom in Old City when he opened the Continental Martini Bar and Lounge in 1995. Since that year, more than 100 restaurants have opened in a five-block radius. Hipster neighborhood Northern Liberties began to hum with restaubars once artists started moving there from Old City. South Philadelphia continues to be a haven for down-home Italian cooking and recently for more complex Italian flavors even as clusters of ethnicities who are newer to the city—Vietnamese, Mexican, Ethiopian—form new dining pockets there.
In fact, the formation of dining pockets is the newest chapter in the Philadelphia dining story. Some of the culinary landmarks on Walnut Street's Restaurant Row—Susanno Foo, Striped Bass, Brasserie Perrier—have closed, but dozens of restaurants opened during the same period. Some, such as Eric Ripert's 10 Arts and Stephen Starr's Barclay Prime, fill the fine-dining void left by the departing marquee restaurants, but most are more casual, ambitious spots grouped in less centrally located neighborhoods. East Passyunk Avenue in South Philadelphia is one example—what was formerly the place to go to find spaghetti with gravy is now home to Paradiso, a sleek sophisticated place where chef and owner Lynne Marie Rinaldi cooks rabbit cacciatore and offers a wine list to rival any in the city. In Northern Liberties, Peter McAndrews' Modo Mio has become a destination unto itself. Thirteenth Street bustles with energetic, eclectic eateries like El Vez and Lolita; and the 700 block of Chestnut has a new restaurant row since Chifa and Union Trust joined stalwart Morimoto.
Philadelphia has also emerged as a national leader in restaurant design. At Chifa, Distrito, and Amada, New York designer Jun Aizaki has created wholly distinct environments based on the research trips he's taken to Spain, Mexico, and Peru with restaurateur Jose Garces during each project's conception phase. The New Yorker also manages to match the tone of each joint to its distinct neighborhood—Amada in Old City exudes a grown-up kind of cool while Distrito is trendy, playful, and over-the-top like its young clientele in University City. At XIX (Nineteen) at the top of the Park Hyatt at the Bellevue, local design doyenne Meg Rodgers updated the former Founders Room to create something iconic and modern. And it's not surprising to discover that the owner of Bar Ferdinand, Owen Kamihira, has a splashy design pedigree—he put the Buddha in Buddakan and the pop-art olives in the Continental. Finally, Morimoto was designed by internationally renowned product designer (and former prof at Philadelphia's University of the Arts) Karim Rashid.
The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.

I'm dying laughing over here. Above are the individual headshots from Biel, the Swiss team that signed hockey bros Patrick Kane and Tyler Seguin. The pics are on their website, where a number of players are holding axes.
I love that:
* They photoshopped the players into, as Deadspin put it, "a post-apocalyptic hellscape."
* That they're poorly photoshopped, specifically Kane.
* That they had the guys go no shirts, just shoulder pads.
* That they went no smiles and dirty-faced, to bring out the guys' rugged sexiness.
* That Kane and Seguin clearly weren't there on photoshoot day, and they were like, fuck it, this won't in any way look completely hilarious and out of place. Let's still set them against the fire-kissed cloud background. Kane looks like such an adorable little boy.

One more note: I'd play my bag off if this were my coach. Here's Kevin Schläpfer:

Serge Ibaka Says He Will Be An All-Star; Caron Butler Wants To Stay In Dallas For A Long Time
Is there a better national team frontcourt than Spain? The Gasol brothers and Serge Ibaka: completely different and yet they complement each other perfectly. They have defense, length, athleticism, touch, shooting and toughness. Ibaka actually is saying he can be an All-Star either next year or the year after. We believe him. Everyone is riding the James Harden train right now and deservedly so. The Beard was balling in the playoffs and looks like he could be the second coming of a Paul Pierce-type player. But Ibaka is OKC's third-most important player. Read More »

The great part was I was able to give many of my former guildies a home when they got sick of him too.
Bear armor woes in Wrath to be addressed {WoW}
Aug 19th 2008 7:55PM If they linked loot to party composition next you'd want them to link loot to the ilvl of the armor players are wearing (high ilvl drop = item drops, otherwise do ilvl check against other players current armor).
Bear armor woes in Wrath to be addressed {WoW}
Aug 19th 2008 3:31PM Orrrrrr, players will get that 'fantastic drop' they wanted in a particular dungeon far faster/sooner and not have to farm the place 10-20 times to see it drop, meaning that they'll already have the item they want and when doing heroics for badges everything will be sharded still. People will gear up faster and better, which is good for everyone, imo.
Bear armor woes in Wrath to be addressed {WoW}
Aug 19th 2008 3:29PM I disagree. The amount of problems that shared loot will cause should be more than offset by the increased amount of useable loot that everyone finds and picks up. When everyone's able to use more loot there may be a bigger fight for that one awesome epic that 3-5 classes all want, but in the meantime the average excellence of gearing will be far higher on your average player than it has been in the past. Imagine how BC would've turned out if they had never gone the Badge of Justice route *shudder*
Bear armor woes in Wrath to be addressed {WoW}
Aug 19th 2008 3:26PM Nah, having tanking and dps in the same tree is a ripoff for the other tanks >: The prot pally tanking tree has EIGHT 5 point talents, only one of which is skipped for tanking. The feral druid tree has only THREE 5 point talents, one of which is skipped for tanking. How is that fair? If I'm spending all those talent points on JUST tanking, I'd better be a far more awesome tank that a bear tank, but that's not how it is.
Bear armor woes in Wrath to be addressed {WoW}
Aug 19th 2008 3:24PM Bears being at armor cap was always a band-aid. Bear armor values were out of control in BC. There's no way they should've been hitting the armor cap unbuffed, it also meant they were missing out on all the armor procs from healing classes, etc. I have a SS on my paladin of me with 31,000 armor from various armor procs, ancestral fortitude, etc. With enough healers on you those procs are up for a significant portion of the fight. With stoneshield potion / elixir that would put me at 34,000 armor which is 1,000 away from the armor cap and with basically the same armor as a bear tank. Bears were missing out on all that scaling due to starting at the armor cap.
Bear armor woes in Wrath to be addressed {WoW}
Aug 19th 2008 3:18PM There will always be many uneeded drops, something has to be disenchanted, yo? Who cares if green random suffix items drop that are just disenchant fodder? That's free money, not actually meant to be worn. They're meant to supply enchanting mats. It's not until Epics, and to some degree blues that Blizz starts caring about who's gonna wear this and proper itemization.
