I bought this for my son and daughter in law for their kitchen. They needed extra storage and counter space. The thing they love the most is the pull-out leaf that allows them to sit and enjoy a meal (their kitchen is not laid out to accommodate a small dining table). It is both utilitarian and decorative. It took three of us to get it together only because we wanted to be super careful and some of the pieces were heavy. It went together quite well and the instructions were easy to follow. I'm sure they will enjoy this piece for some time.
My husband and I bought this island a few months ago and we live it! It provides us the little bit of extra storage space we need as well as a great work station for preparing meals for the family. The colors were exactly what we were looking for and it is just a really beautiul, solid piece of furniture. The extra drop leaf side gives us extra space when needed but can easily be taken down when it isnt be used. We love our island and would recommend it to anyone looking for one!
This product surprised me as to how nice it really is. It was above my expectations. The packing was extremely well done to the point that unpacking all the parts from the three shipping containers took about a half hour in itself. No complaints about this though. It was a pleasure to see how carefully it was done. Although the assembly was substantial, the instructions were very good and quite easy to follow if you paid attention to the details in the illustration figures and stuck with the step-by-step procedure. Each piece was very well labeled which also helped tremendously with the assembly. About the only thing I would have liked to see would be covering of the exposed screws on the back side of the unit once assembled. It seems like a small matter, but that is the only thing that kept me from rating the product as excellent rather than good as to quality.
Just follow the instructions with the products and everything will fall into place. You may need someone to hold while assembling heavy parts and to put it in the final place in the kitchen.
My husband and I put the island together in about two hours. Beautiful wood top! The leaf easily pulls up and creates extra work space when needed. Fabulous deal on Overstock you won't find anywhere else!
Very nice shipped quickly easy to assemble
It took me less than two hours to put this together. Everything fit great. All the parts and pieces lined up well. Everything was packed well and protected in the boxes. Great quality. It looks really nice. I would recommend it to anyone.
We bought this island to "stage" a townhouse that we were selling. It was the one piece of furniture that the buyers included in their offer. It was perfect for the space. It is very solidly built, too.
I am moving into a new home and needed an island for my kitchen for extra storage, counter space and a place to eat.. This meets ALL my criteria. Perfect size, Great looking, Ample storage, and can use bar stools with the fold out leaf for a eat-in kitchen(widowed, just me). I would recommend this item to anyone.
Unbelievable shipping service...order said would arrive in 4 days, actually came in two days! Regarding assembly...several sections came pre-assembled thereby saving much time. Directions were clear and concise. Only assembly issue was that the locking screws didn't lock securely causing some issue when 4 had to be locked at same time - kept coming apart...causing frustration. Also, there was a small space on bottom section after assembly since frame didn't seem to line up correctly. Other than that, there were no problems. These were the only reasons I rated it "Good" instead of "Excellent". Finished product is great...many compliments already. Oh, one more thing...the "distressing" part on the top leaves a lot to be desired...would have preferred plain top instead of this added "feature". I was VERY encouraged and pleased that it was not made in China...seems to be a rare benefit recently.

The Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development will withdraw from Air Cote d'Ivoire as other investors in the state carrier of Ivory Coast increase the company's stock, airline General Director Rene Decurey said.
Air Cote d'Ivoire, which started flying last year in place of collapsed carrier Air Ivoire, plans a 10-fold capital increase tomorrow to 25 billion CFA francs ($49.2 million) from its original 2.5 billion francs, Decurey said in a phone interview on June 1.
The Aka Khan Fund, which has its headquarters in Geneva, holds 15 percent of the Abidjan-based carrier. The Ivory Coast government owns 65 percent of the closely held company and Paris-based Air France-KLM Group (AF), Europe's biggest carrier, has a 20 percent stake.
The fund "let us know it will not take part in the capital increase," and will shift its holding to another investor as part of the transaction, Decurey said. The West African Development Bank and local financial institution BIAO-Cote d'Ivoire may potentially be interested in buying the fund's stock, he said.
Serge Bouah, a spokesman at the Lome, Togo-based West African Development Bank, and Eline Arnaud, a spokeswoman in Abidjan for BIAO-CI, both declined to comment.
Air Cote d'Ivoire will invest $40 million to buy two Bombardier Inc. (BBD/B) Q400 turboprop aircraft to start domestic flights by November, Decurey said. It will also acquire an Airbus SAS twin-jet A319 plane by September to expand the regional flight network in West and Central Africa, he said. The fleet currently consists of two A319s and an Embraer 170 regional jet serving cities in nearby countries, according to its website.

Sri Lanka bowling attack needs fresh thinking
November XXX, 2011 (TCS) -- Sri Lanka's bowling attack is struggling against Pakistan, lacking variations and consistency that has made the home team, probably one of the weakest among top Test nations.
The problem, may lie with the local coaches who are keen on "pace". But pace is nothing without consistency, accuracy and the ability to swing and seam the ball.
Sri Lanka have not won a Test, losing four and drawing nine matches, since spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan quit the game in July last year, after a world record haul of 800 wickets.
The national team, currently struggling against Pakistan, in the United Arab Emirates, drew the first Test, lost the second and was bowled out for 413 in the first innings of the ongoing third Test.
In the first Test against the visiting Aussies, opening bowlers Suranga Lakmal and Chanaka Welagedara's bowling averages were higher than Australian openers Shane Watson and Phil Hughes batting averages. How often does that happen?
Shaminda Eranga, who looked to be a saviour for Sri Lanka, was unfortunately injured and missed the Pakistan tour. Going with five pacies, who are quite mediocre and average at their best, makes it difficult to take wickets on the UAEs flat batting pitches.
The bulk of the bowling attack lies with spinners Rangana Herath and Suraj Randiv who have to labour on tracks that do not offer much zip.
Change of Variation
If a Sri Lankan youngster could consistantly bowl at 145 kilometers per hour, he could trouble batsmen with raw pace, learn accuracy and swing the ball. But without accuracy, the 130-135 kmph bowlers look average.
For instance, Dilhara Fernando has pace, but is horrible with his line and length. He tends to bowl no balls even in the middle of a good spell.
Suranga Lakmal, has to bulk up his physic, that will enable him to hit the deck hard, improve on his line and length and unsettle the batsmen. Chanaka Welagedara, the left armer, lacks pace and appears inconsistent with his line after five to six initial overs.
New kid on the block Nuwan Pradeep, has some pace, but needs to learn how to out-fox batsmen.
New Lankan bowling talent
Sri Lankans bowling talent is not bare, but youngsters need more exposure. Currently, injured Shaminda Eranga, appears to be the only pace bowler showing promise.
His replacement all-rounder Kosala Kulasekara, is more of a contained bowler suited to the shorter formats of the game. Kulasekara's bats better than Eranga, but his bowling lacks hostility. He can probably fill the fifth bowlers spot.
Sachithra Senanayke has been Sri Lanka's best spinner on form, but is yet to make his debut. There are some doubts about his action. If he overcomes it, he can be used as a strike bowler, with a lot of variations.
Leg spinner Seekuge Prasanna is another newbie, who is more of a skiddy bowler. He does not turn the ball much and was dropped after one Test. But with more variety and slower paced balls, he could be quite a handful in Tests. He will play a major part in the upcoming one-day series against Pakistan.
Aggressive opener
Since skipper Tillakaratne Dilshan dropped down the batting to number five, Sri Lanka opening slot depended on a cautious Tharanga Paranavitana and his equally slow young partner, Lahiru Thirimanne.
Dilshan, who slammed a magnificent 193 against Englad at Lords in June, opted not to open, after the recent dismal Australian tour.
The selectors brought him back to open in the ongoing third Test, where he scored 92 in Sharjah. Youngster Dinesh Chandimal, is another possible opener.
Let's hope the Lions pull up their socks and give Pakistan a worthy contest.

The Case For A Privacy Program
Posted by Site Administrator on May 21, 2007
Ann Cavoukian, Ontario's privacy commissioner, is speaking to the Canadian Marketing Associates convention this week about privacy. She's an unusual speaker because frequently the relationship between privacy advocates and marketing is strained. Marketing wants more information and to process the information to its best advantage, while privacy and security experts often have to be the ones to squash new information uses.
The speech will cover the business advantages to developing a privacy program, namely consumer brand and trust. Brand and trust are terms that marketing works with on a daily basis, whereas compliance reasons tend to fall on deaf ears. But in her argument she makes a lot of claims such as, "You will lose business if you don't have a strong privacy policy." Within this short article these statements are not substantiated, and I've been hard-pressed to find research and proof of them. Take TJX for example -- its sales have not stumbled because of its data breach; they've had great profits. ChoicePoint's stock has recovered from its initial drop after its data breach. Does anyone have more than anecdotal data to show that customers actually do leave the stores as opposed to surveys that show that customers say they no longer work with that business? I do not quarrel with her end conclusions, but I'm not sure the argument is completely on solid ground yet. How do you make the business case to executives for improved privacy programs? It's easy to point at companies that have had breaches, but how do you counter the examples of companies that survive and thrive post-breach?

Tuesday morning, on our return to Savannah, we had the pleasure of negotiating Atlanta's Hartsfield airport, their crowds and security system… The lines were long but moved very smoothly. We left the Airport Westin at 8:20 AM and found ourselves in the Skyclub plane side by 9:05 AM.
There were horror stories of passengers stranded for up to 5 days trying to get back to New York but in the time we were there, the process moved efficiently. It was all leisure travelers as the "suits" were hard to find. I did notice it takes an extra step or two for leisure travelers, hunting in an extra pocket, forgetting your keys, where is my boarding pass? etc… going through the line, but all in all, a-OK. The TSA staff was friendly and upbeat. Maybe they realized the holiday rush was soon coming to a close.
The Skyclub was virtually empty. Leisure travelers don't seem to be frequent guest of the clubs. I was using 1 day Groupon passes for my infrequent traveling friends and they seemed to enjoy the respite after the security lines. As always, these two guys were in the free food line. I found the Delta Skyclub to be stark and small in relation to the Red Carpet Clubs of United, but that could be just this one location. The morning snack offering was also sub-RCC quality.
Although it all went smoothly, I can't imagine spending an hour a week of my life in those lines. My condolences to the business travelers of Atlanta. A small town airport suits me just fine.
Tomorrow is the last post of 2010. It has been a very successful travel year. Lot's of miles, lots of sites and no major traffic calamities or delays. I scored about $2,700 in bump vouchers, a another $1,000 in customer service related vouchers and went around the world again.
I'm looking forward to 2011 and the adventures we will all experience.

Scenario: Tornado
Place: Norman, Oklahoma
Much of the wind-resisting technology that battens down homes in hurricane zones also applies to "Tornado Alley," the expanse between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachians where twisters strike most in the U.S. Many homes employ connectors, but building codes tend not to mandate them as strictly as in Florida. That is because whereas hurricanes are massive storms that can blanket whole states, tornadoes typically only tear through a town-size area at a time.As such, rendering houses as fortress-like, tornado-repelling structures does not make economic sense. "The chances you're going to get hit regardless of how strong a tornado is in a particular house is like one in 5000 per year," Reinhold says. "That's well beyond what we're going to design for."
Instead, building codes in Tornado Alley focus on preserving human life in safe rooms, also referred to sometimes as storm cellars or shelters.
This is the case in Norman, Okla., where "hardly a week goes by when we don't see a storm cellar being built," says Patrick Copeland, a building official for the city of Norman.
FEMA has supported a number of grant efforts over about the last decade to promote safe rooms. Some 20,000 residential safe rooms have been set up with more than $50 million of federal funds, as well as more than 500 larger community-level safe rooms.
In Oklahoma, over 6000 safe rooms have been made since 1999 when a spate of twisters destroyed about an equal number of single-family homes. When a big F4 tornado came through Oklahoma City in 2003, FEMA attributed the zero-fatality figure to all the safe rooms in place. (The "F" scale for tornadoes is the Fujita-Pearson scale, similar to the Saffir-Simpson Category system for hurricanes that goes from 1 through a devastating 5.)
A number of recent building codes, including the ICC 500 and the FEMA 361 Second Edition in 2008, have redefined the standard for tornado and hurricane safe rooms to have them provide "near-absolute protection." This means withstanding wind speeds of 250 miles per hour and impacts from objectsa 15-pound 2 x 4 in testshurtling at 100 miles per hour.
Safe rooms often are big steel or concrete boxes that can go in a home's first floor, garage or basement. Doors swing inward so people can escape or get air even if debris blocks the entrance, says JoAnne Sellars, assistant state fire marshal of Oklahoma.
She recently visited a safe room set up at a school. Sellars says the structures can serve multiple purposes, including storage for library books, for example. When inside a safe room, she says "you know you're somewhere different because there are no windows."
Reinhold says a shelter about 8 x 8 feet that holds a family of up to six costs $2500 to $7500.

I planted raspberries in May (I'm in Maryland). The plants don't seem to have grown at all. Is this normal? We have lots of wild blackberries around, so I figure the soil is suitable. I have been watering them about once a week once they were established. The plants are only around 6-12 inches tall...which is not much bigger than when I bought them. Any help is appreciated. |

A close up photo would be more useful. Hard to diagnose at this distance. |
What state and zone are you in? Your soil looks excellent. You have new growth on your canes. Sry didn't see Maryland at first. Your plants should be quite large by now with canes up to five feet long. Did you water the new plants enough? Doesn't look like it. |
I think they'll be fine, they take a couple years to get established. Those green canes will be your fruiting canes next year, so you won't have much of crop next year but you should at least have a taste. Next summer (2014) they will put up new canes that will produce fruit in 2015... I would expect those canes to be normal size, now that they'll have spent a year settling in. |
Thanks for the thoughts, Mrs. G. I wish that was my soil! It's a leaf compost I put on top as a fertilizer and weed block. I suspected that it was not enough water. But there is also occasionally damage from deer. I didn't know if that could be the cause. I'm kind of surprised because there are a lot of other natural brambles around. I would also thought the "natural" pruning should stimulate more growth, not totally stunt them. |
- Posted by beeman_gardener 5 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 15, 13 at 21:03
I see a light green/yellow cast to the leaves, usually a sign of lack of nitrogen. Lack of water could give a slightly yellow leaf. Try a foliar feed with Epsom salts, two tablespoons per gallon, see if that improves them. If they green up, then you'll know they're short of nitrogen, blood meal will be the answer, or a 10-10-10 fertilizer. |
I have had some be this slow, well one. It did finally catch. But it is poor performance. I planted 10 raspberry plants 5 months ago, and have hundreds of raspberries today. It looks dry. Make sure you are watering enough. You may want to try a different cultivar (variety). Or plant a few others to compare. They can be this slow, but they also can grow a foot a month. |

Nick Bolkus
The Honourable Nick Bolkus |
Senator for South Australia | |
In office 1 July 1981 – 30 June 2005 |
Personal details | |
Born | Adelaide, South Australia, Australia |
17 July 1950
Political party | Labor |
Nick Bolkus (born 17 July 1950) is a former Australian Labor Party politician. He was a member of the Senate from July 1981 to 2005, representing the state of South Australia.
Early career[edit]
He was born in Adelaide and was educated at the University of Adelaide. He was very briefly a lawyer in 1974 and 1975. He moved into political advising and became a research officer for a number of Australian Labor Party (ALP) members including Clyde Cameron. He unsuccessfully ran for the seat of Adelaide in 1976.[citation needed] He entered politics as a Senator for South Australia following the Australian federal election, 1980.[1]
Parliamentary career[edit]
Bolkus stayed on the back bench for his first seven years in Parliament. Bolkus was eventually promoted to the outer Ministry as Minister for Consumer Affairs and Minister Assisting the Treasurer for Prices (1988–90). Bolkus became a Cabinet Minister for five years, as Minister for Administrative Services (1990–93) (a Ministry which was later relegated out of Cabinet), and then Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Multicultural Affairs (1993–96).
After the end of the Keating Government (due to its election defeat in 1996), Bolkus was a member of the Opposition Shadow Ministry from March 1996 to November 2001. He remained on the back bench for the final four years of his career in Parliament.
Dante Tan scandal[edit]
In 2003, it became apparent that Bolkus had failed to declare donations made by Dante Tan (a corporate criminal from the Philippines).[2] Workplace Relations Minister Tony Abbott accused Bolkus of having breached the legal requirements of accepting a political donation.[3] Abbott also accused Bolkus of money laundering,[4] however it became clear that the matter was in fact not a breach of any regulations regarding political donations.
However, later that year, the South Australia ALP (and significantly the left faction) advised Bolkus that they would not support his bid for another term in office. Those who opposed his bid included Penny Wong, Jay Weatherill and then-LHMEU Branch Secretary (and later Member of Federal Parliament) Mark Butler. They claimed that Bolkus' reputation had been scarred by the allegations of impropriety and that another term would only damage the ALP. They pointed to the significant media coverage of the scandal and argued that even if no law had been broken, Bolkus had publicly and knowingly socialised with a known corporate criminal. However, some commentators have suggested that the ALP had no real concerns regarding Tan. Rather, the negative media coverage was exploited as an opportunity to remove a politician who the ALP, for various reasons, wanted to get rid of. An aggrieved Bolkus (in some sense rightfully aggrieved as he had in fact not broken any laws) pursued Nationwide News for defamation. He was successful in the District Court of South Australia in Bolkus v Nationwide News.[5]
Life after politics[edit]
Since retiring from public life, Bolkus has been implicated in a number of high profile lobbying efforts, primarily concerning questionable major property development approvals, through his contacts in the former Mike Rann and later Jay Weatherill ALP Governments.

Woodwick is hands down my favorite. You can't go wrong with sounding like you sitting in front of a crackling fire. Some of the other things I really like about them, they have never been worm burner for me (tunneling down the middle), the scent has lasted right through to the bottom, and it seems to take me forever to go through one. I burn mine usually every other day and for hours when I do. I have one right now sitting next to me that I have had for 1 1/2 months, burning every other day almost and there is still 1/3 left. To me that is well worth the cost, since they do run a bit high. Stacy |

Spice Up Your Life
Due to extenuating circumstances, my husband has been put in a low sodium diet. At first, it was pretty difficult to find things other than vegetables and rice for dinner. But recently, we have become quite creative when coming up with low sodium recipes. He loads his food up with a lot of peppers and onions, which really is not my cup of tea. So we've been playing with using different herbs and seeing how they work with each other. I was thrilled when I saw the Green Basics Organic Spices gift. Not only are they organic but they have also made Oprah's "O" List. And if Oprah likes it, I like it!
Included in this gift are dill weed, basil, rosemary, tarragon, thyme and my personal favorite, oregano. This gift also celebrates the "More Herbs, Less Salt Day" on August 29th. August really is the perfect time to celebrate such a day since most herbs are at their peak for harvest. So if you or someone you know is on a low sodium diet, I suggest taking a look at this gift. It's a perfect way to add flavor to your food while keeping to a healthy, low sodium diet.

Downloading Megaupload Files As Premium User Bypassing Image Code And Timer
File-sharing service Megaupload forces free-downloader's to enter image-verification code and wait for 45 seconds to download the file, we had shared many tips, tricks and tools to bypass this limitation but all of them are obsolete now.
Today I am going to share a wonderful, fast and simple way to bypass megaupload limitation allowing you to download files as premium users even with your download manager.
To get the direct download link all you need to do is to add mgr_dl.php before the question mark in download link as shown below.
Normal Link - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GMG4K8TI
Direct Download Link - http://www.megaupload.com/mgr_dl.php?d=GMG4K8TI
To make things simple I have created an exclusive bookmarklet for our blog readers - simply click on the link/bookmarklet below and drag and drop to your bookmarks toolbar, while on the megaupload file download page click the bookmarklet and your download will start automatically.
Bookmarklet -> Megaupload Downloader
Now, before you get too excited I would like to clarify that this is no hack or backdoor to get direct megaupload download links but a legitimate method to get limited direct-download links provided by Megaupload for free users, usually Megaupload provides 1-3 free direct links per IP every 24 hour; to check your current remaining free direct-download link credits check http://www.megaupload.com/mgr_bdr.php page in your web-browser.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Finn!
Facts about Finn
- Breed: Miniature Pinscher/Jack Russell Terrier Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Kim's Foster
Finn's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi my name is Finn. I am a small little guy. I was the runt of my litter. I love to be held and cuddled. I would love a human who will take me everywhere they go. I want to be spoiled. I have endless energy. email firstname.lastname@example.com My adoption fee is $200
Other Pets at Friends FUR Life K-9 Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Finn, a Apex Miniature Pinscher/Jack Russell Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Miniature Pinscher/Jack Russell Terrier for sale in Apex, or seeking a Miniature Pinscher/Jack Russell Terrier puppy from a breeder in Apex.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Apex 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 Apex 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 Miniature Pinscher/Jack Russell Terrier breeders who help with Miniature Pinscher/Jack Russell Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Apex paves the way for another one to be saved.

Traditionally retail has had an uncomfortable relationship with existing built forms, especially if heritage issues are also present, positing that retail requires bespoke buildings to ensure flexibility for the constant changes required by this format. Add to this mix then a use such as bulky goods retailing renowned for its use of large undifferentiated, context neutral, signage ridden built outcomes and we have the scene for a challenging project.
From the start Home HQ sought to challenge the established norms for this typology; traditionally bulky goods buildings are characterised less by their built form and more about their ability to create isolated, internalised environments. The built form in this typology is reduced to little more than a denuded container or support structure for signage. Home HQ, in contrast seeks to provide a contemporary solution (place and time specific) to a contemporary typology (bulky goods retailing) within a historically significant built form.
The building programme could not be accommodated within the existing building and we therefore sought to undertake an extension which unashamedly announced a 'long life, loose fit' mantra to the scheme. The extension clasps the existing brick and concrete saw tooth 1940's factory form with a sinuous metallic form; contrasting the rectilinear existing form against the amorphous new form; the visual weight of brick and concrete against the apparent lightness of thin metal ribbons. Signage the bane of this typology is dealt with in a singular illuminated ribbon, allowing flexibility and visual control simultaneously. The built form in the case of Home HQ is overt and strong, acting not merely as a mute container for goods but more pertinently as an iconic form.
The interior draws elements of the existing expressed structure in a series of inserted forms containing the retail sections. The interior is strongly industrial and again is not a monochromatic mute container for retail but an expressive and opinionated form. The material palette for the new echoes and extends the existing palette of concrete and steel with timber, plywood and the use if strong graphic colour. Arranged around a simple central void crowned by the existing industrial skylights this form becomes the organising device for movement through the building. A 4 star green star rating has been achieved; a first for this typology in Australia.
The use of bespoke public art both internally and externally which charts the history of the site originally as a brickworks, then as an ammunition factory and finally as council works depot, is explored. The use of existing cranes in the central void, graphics and large pieces incorporating re used roof trusses present an evocative character to the building. Home HQ unequivocally demonstrates that design can act to allow the sublime in the most ordinary and neglected.

Lake County picks government center for consolidated dispatch
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent November 29, 2012 9:57AM
Updated: January 1, 2013 6:23AM
Lake County Public Safety Commission selected the Lake County Government Center as the primary site for the consolidated emergency dispatch center over a building in East Chicago.
Members voted 9-6 with one abstention on Thursday to locate the center at the county's hub in Crown Point. The commission chose East Chicago as the secondary "dark" site by the same margin. Representatives from three north Lake County cities — Gary, Lake Station and New Chicago — were absent. Griffith's representative was present but is a nonvoting member.
East Chicago Mayor Anthony Copeland attended the meeting where the city's representative on the panel, Herbert Cruz, Emergency Management Agency director, made an impassioned plea before the commission to stick with the facility subcommittee's recommendation and select the East Chicago site — the second floor of the former Blaw-Knox Co. administration building in the 4400 block of Railroad Avenue.
"The subcommittee was created for a reason," Cruz said. He touted the advantages of the East Chicago site and said officials had the chance to review other sites during the process and East Chicago came out on top.
Following the vote Cruz thanked the panel. He said he would have liked to have seen the agenda reflect that a vote on the site was going to be called. With only a few members missing and a few votes separating the two, the outcome may have been different if everyone was in attendance.
"(Had they known) They may have made a better effort to get here," Cruz said.
Copeland also was not pleased with the course of events.
"I've looked at the whole process and tried to be honorable. I only know how to play the game one way. I am saddened in the process," he said.
However, Copeland restated his commitment to public safety and the consolidation process and offered the East Chicago site rent-free.
Lake County Commissioner Gerry Scheub, who first floated the idea of using the county government building for the center, said the county is under tremendous financial pressure and must find ways to save money wherever possible.
Using the county building as the call center site will save about $700,000 over the East Chicago site but he expects the final savings to be higher. Scheub said he plans to go over the estimate which includes some contingencies and increases for construction costs and inflation he does not agree with.
"I'm not satisfied with the final figures," Scheub said.

Typical day for a Home Health nurse... - page 25
Not a bad day today... started back per diem today. 6 cases, all in the same township. Not my usual zip codes though, so I did waste some time and scheduled visits akimbo, instead of in a line like... Read More
0Oct 31, '10 by RyanSofieThe "TOTAL" work hours are as long as it takes to complete visits, open cases,recert cases,discharge cases ( assessments) and make routine visits or prn visits. Then...complete Oasis, med sheets, careplan, orders,Braden scales,pain assessment forms forms and more forms...If patient cancels one day then squeeze him/her into the next or the next. Then there is driving time between patients, to labs, to office etc etc. Time for phone calls to Physical therapists,HHA,OT,Doctor blah blah blah...All for about 65,000/year base pay.Weekends,holidays etc included in hours to be worked. Piles of paperwork that never seem to end. Keeping track of 30 patients recerts, resumptions,discharges...lab dates. No overtime, straight salary...hours worked ENDLESS...Hospital nursing 8-12 hours, complete paperwork (notes on patients) admits ,discharges...labs, surgeries...etc etc..at designated hour punch out and go home. Nursing ahhhhhhhhhhh such an easy profession...anyone can do it. LOLOL
4Feb 7, '11 by yecart1i have been in hh for a little over 3 months. i am already burnt out. i haven't done laundry or dishes but maybe once during that time...my family has to do it because my 40 hour week is really 50-60 hours.
i just put in my 2 week notice. i hate being a quitter. i worked in the hospital for 4 years in med/surg, acu, pacu, and ed. at least when you were done with your shift you could go home and relax. there is no relaxing or a day off in hc.
in fact, i have a day off today and there are 3-4 charts that i should be working on. but seriously, i not only need a day without work. i'm physically ill! i'm torn between taking some time to myself, cleaning. hell, i don't even put my clothing away, i just pile it up. this is not a life i want.
good luck and god bless all you home health nurses. you are a tough lot and very much appreciated. you put in way too much work.
i do love my pts and coworkers. but can't do it anymore. -
0Feb 7, '11 by Nursecathy123caI understand completely. And you are NOT a quitter! You realize this is not the life you want, and you are getting out now before you invest more time, effort, and frustration in the field.
When I started HH nursing, I was part time, so had plenty of time to learn paperwork. Things have changed, and I need a full time job. It is taking over my life. Hoping our agency will get electronic charting. I've heard that helps greatly. If not, I may start looking around at other fields.
Medicare rules and regs are just too much...and they are getting worse.
Good luck to you! -
0Feb 22, '11 by Isabelle49Quote from Hellllllo NurseYou might want to consider something other than Home Health.Very interesting. I have never done HH.
HH nursing has always been a mystery to me.Thanks for opening a window to your day. -
0Feb 22, '11 by Isabelle49Daughter being treated very poorly by Home Health she works for. She was in office Case Manager for 4 months, then her manager left, same day management says they need her expertise in the field full time. First week in the field full time she has 3 patients to see, and she is not salaried, she is paid by visit. This does not include 2 hours to office and 2 hours home. Home Healtah stinks. Am a home health nurse, can't wait to get out of here.
0Feb 22, '11 by Nursecathy123caBefore ditching home health, look around at other agencies. Some pay a salary, or have a guaranteed minimum. And some agencies really value their nurses.
0Jul 30, '11 by OkieeRNQuote from hoolahanI think I would have called APS the same day. I agree with you that they could have done no more on that day but it covers your hiney and your agency's hiney. And lets face it, the woman really needs some help here.
Just wated to share this one b/c of the ethical dilemma. What would you guys have done in my place? -
0Jul 31, '11 by Nursecathy123caYou only know by asking, in detail, what their policies are. This would occur during an interview. Remember, this is not just them interviewing you. You should interview them. If they pay a salary, what is their productivity points requirement? Do they pay points for mandatory meetings? (I found this one out the hard way.) How often do you have to be on call? And insist on a minimum salary. I assure you, the managers interviewing you have a salary!
0May 20, '12 by nurseemily87I really appreciated the posts here regarding what a HH Nurse's day looks like! Tomorrow I start a new adventure in home health with a well known company in my area. My last job was subacute nursing, caring for 9-11 vent patients per day........I'm used to daily surprises so, I feel like I'm up for the HH challenge

My name is Maxwell!
Facts about Maxwell
- Breed: Maltese/Poodle (Miniature) Mix
- Color: Black - With Gray Or Silver
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Maxwell's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Meet Maxwell
I have been adopted.
Maxwell is a Malti poo. His hair is more like a Poodle than Maltese.
Maxwell's owner surrendered him to YSDR because her 18 month old child fell on him and hurt him. After the fall, he was afraid of her and would growl but never snapped.
Since Maxwell has been in foster care, he has been with other dogs and children and there has been no problem with him at all. He is house trained, very mellow and loving. Maxwell will talk to you when he is being cuddled.
Maxwell loves to go on walks and has even been camping. Maxwell will be 4 years old in Feb. Maxwell weighs 13 lbs, is up to date on shots, has had a dental, is neutered, microchipped, and heart worm free.
If you want a sweet dog that may take a little time to adjust to a new home, please consider Maxwell. He is a great little dog.
No children under 6 please.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Maxwell, a Conroe Maltese/Poodle (Miniature) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maltese/Poodle (Miniature) for sale in Conroe, or seeking a Maltese/Poodle (Miniature) dog from a breeder in Conroe.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Conroe 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 Conroe 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 Maltese/Poodle (Miniature) breeders who help with Maltese/Poodle (Miniature) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Conroe paves the way for another one to be saved.

I loved this deck. It looked great, had more than enough features to fit my needs and I loved the display modes. It had two 6x9's hooked up to this deck with no amp and most people thought I had subs. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good quality head unit.

Santana Moss doesn't get enough respect. The dude was forced to attempt to catch passes thrown by Donovan McNabb and Rex Grossman in 2010, and yet the 32-year-old still managed to catch 93 balls for 1,115 yards. It was the eighth straight season in which he was able to amass at least 750 receiving yards and the third straight campaign in which he dressed for every game.
Even the player assessment-challenged Redskins front office couldn't ignore those facts, as they agreed to re-sign Moss to a three-year, $15 million deal today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio. He'll get $6 million guaranteed.
The Redskins have reportedly shown interest in several big-name free agent receivers, including Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards of the Jets. It'll be interesting to see if they still chase players like that, because they could sure use the help at the receiver position.
Then again, they could use help at every position.

Stopping the Next War Now |
Written by Chris Floyd |
Saturday, 03 March 2007 22:29 |
More from that indefatigable man on fire, Arthur Silber, who has offered up six practical steps for stopping the next war, the attack on Iran: Building an Effective Resistance. This new war is close -- much closer than we think, as Robert Parry notes -- and is only being held at bay, for the moment, by resistance from some top military brass, some reluctance from Tony Blair (who doesn't want to leave office in the next few months with another gigantic quagmire on his record), and some scattershot opposition from a few Congressional Democrats. (Although most of the top Dem players, including the presidential candidates, are gung-ho about whupping them some Persian butt.) For many, many reasons that we've oft enumerated here, an attack on Iran would quite likely plunge the world into an abyss of murderous turmoil and danger that it has not known since the Second World War. Silber's proposals are therefore of the utmost importance and urgency. Also essential are his two fundamental guidelines behind the six steps of resistance to the new war: 1. The criminal and immoral nature of an attack on Iran in the present circumstances and in the foreseeable future must be identified and stated with all the force imaginable, without qualification, in virtually every interview, every television appearance, and every news story that any politician (or any other public figure) takes part in, beginning tomorrow. THE INSANITY AND CRIMINALITY OF SUCH AN ATTACK MUST BE MADE NATIONAL TOPIC NUMBER ONE, UNTIL THIS ADMINISTRATION FULLY AND COMPLETELY DISAVOWS ANY AND ALL SUCH INTENTIONS AND PLANS -- AND UNTIL THE MAGNITUDE OF PUBLIC OPPOSITION CONVINCES US THAT THEY MEAN IT. 2. In every statement about an attack on Iran, no opponent of this administration can accept any of the terms of debate chosen by the administration. Such opponents must argue on completely different terms. If you argue within the framework they prefer to any extent at all, you will lose -- and the next global war may begin. As an example of the second principle, he offers this example: One argument about Iran (and about Iraq, as well) is absolutely wrong and completely ineffective: the idea that we need "Congressionally-authorized, well-managed" wars of aggression. If a crime is "well-managed" and "competently" executed, that makes it worse, not better. If you're arguing for "competent" wars of aggression followed by "well-managed" occupations, you're not genuinely opposed to this administration in any way that matters, or with regard to any significant principle. As I explained in "Trapped in the Wrong Paradigm," you're arguing over secondary matters, that pale in comparison to the fundamental issues involved -- and you thereby concede the basic terms of the argument to your opponents. If you proceed in this manner, you will always lose in the end. Be sure to read Silber's piece in full. In fact, read his website in full. In my opinion -- and that of others, whose judgments in such matters cry in the top of mine -- it's one of the best sites going. I don't know Silber personally, or know that much about him -- but he is a man who has found his moment, and he is speaking with great passion and truth about the most serious issues of our day. *** |

LOS ANGELES, October 17, 2011 (AFP) - Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong said Sunday he'll tackle another Xterra all-terrain three-discipline race in Hawaii next week.
"Xterra World Champs next wknd. I'm in! Looking fwd to racing," Armstrong said via Twitter on Sunday, a week before the swimming, cycling and running competition in Maui.

Wulling Hall / Minneapolis, MN Custom design revitalizes a timeless building
Being selected to restore a campus landmark like the University of Minnesota's Wulling Hall is a point of pride for the Signature Products and Services team.
To preserve the historic character of this grand building, the installation of nearly 200 new windows was performed using all of the original wood interior millwork.
Among the Wulling Hall's most prominent features are four different large round top window assemblies—each a unique design—each with its original, intricate art glass in a secondary interior sash. Marvin Signature Products and Services preserved and integrated those ornate art glass details, along with all the other subtle design variations that create the building's unique character.

Firefighters make progress as important highway is re-opened
With over 240,000 acres burned, the Zaca fire is one of the biggest Southern California fires in recent years. The fire is burning in the Los Padres National Forest, with smoke often times visible from the Santa Clarita Valley.
Highway 33 was forced to close due to flames along the roadway, however that closure has now been lifted. Traffic is allowed in both directions.
A recommended evacuation has been noted for Ozena, north to the Ventura/Santa Barbara county line.
The Zaca fire is currently 90% contained. Since it started on July 4th, 42 people have been injured, one outbuilding has been destroyed, and $105 million has been spent to battle it.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lady Bird/Ladybug -Adopted!!
Facts about Lady Bird/Ladybug -Adopted!
- Breed: Cocker Spaniel
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Lady Bird/Ladybug -Adopted!'s Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
My name is Lady Bird and I am a very sweet, reddish buff, 5 year old cocker girl. I have just come back to rescue because my owner's have moved into an assisted living facility and can no longer care for me. I was originally owned as a youngster by a nice elderly lady who really loved me. Then I lost my home because she was not able to provide for my needs and she felt that I deserved better, so she took me to a shelter. She wanted me to have the chance to have a good life with someone who could take care of me and love me too. I was such a nice cocker girl, the staff contacted CCR for help to find me a great home.
While in rescue I was spayed, updated on shots and health needs and then I found a new forever home with a a wonderful family who had lost their cocker spaniel and decided to adopt me as their new, sweet, baby girl. I was a really shy, very timid girl and my social skills were lacking, but I learned to get along with their grandkids, ages 4, 7 & 8. These rescue folks feel that I will actually probably do best with children over 6 years old.
CCR has now taken me to the vet, so I have been updated on my health needs and I am heartworm negative. The vet did suggest that I will need a dental, so this will need to be done before I can go to my new home. I am still a very timid girl, so I will do best in a calm home environment where I can possibly be with another cocker who would love to have a new pal and yet would be an easy going, dog social buddy for me to spend time with. I am dog social and really sweet. I would love to be adopted by someone who would enjoy spending time with a sweet companion and also could help me to feel comfortable and very loved for the special girl that I am. Maybe I could learn to be your new walking pal and spend some quality time with you. Come see me. I am a shy girl and timid, and when I meet new people, you have to approach me with caution, but then I warm up nicely and I am a happy girl. Please give me the loving home that I deserve,; I would love to meet you so that I can find my new home real soon.

An Easy Way to Streamline Your Skin Care
If you're confused about the best way to layer your skin care products—think serum, moisturizer, and foundation (or is it moisturizer, foundation, and then serum)—you'll be happy to know that in the equation, the most important aspect is probably saving your sanity.
Miami-based dermatologist Loretta Ciraldo suggests mixing your products in your palm and applying as one, or as she puts it, a "cocktail [of] potions." It takes out the guesswork while hydrating, treating, and polishing your skin in one fell swoop, and shouldn't have a negative impact on your skin.
Looking to pare down your routine? Here are the only products that dermatologists say you definitely need.

fish out of water
What is it like to live in the surrounding sea of a mother's love? Many of us have had that experience, and for me, in the past few days, I can tell you that such seas can surround, even when the water has left the tub.
I have been considering the significance of kindergarten and the teaching of Friedrich Froebel, and a great place to learn about him and his work is Norm Brosterman's book, Inventing Kindergarten. It is a book I highly recommend.
Kindergarten has had a profound influence on the ever changing landscape of American education. Sometimes the school pendulum swings toward the manipulative objects, songs, and finger play that Froebel brought to the world's education, and sometimes it swings severely (and coldly) in the other direction. My mother's classroom at Wakonda Elementary was firmly rooted in Froebel's music and imaginative play, and in my mind if the pendulum ever swings far from what she did in her classroom, (as it has in more recent years, NCLB and all) then we present tragic circumstances for our nation's children.
Froebel's mother died when he was less than one year old, and having lost the sea of love which surrounds many of us, he understood and explained the role that mother's love played in the growth of a child. He recognized and taught that the young mother was the child's first teacher, and through his book, Mother-Play and Nursery Songs, 1844, proposed the means through which mothers might take a more deliberate role in their children's education. Also, while teaching up until the time of Froebel was a masculine occupation, Froebel understood the potential of women as teachers in schools. And so, as my mother chose her career as a teacher, it was to be planted in the grounds prepared by Froebel's kindergarten. As Dorothy Stowe became a young mother, the foundation of her kindergarten training at Iowa State Teacher's College, brought strength and purpose to that as well.
And so, this morning I propose a simple swing in American education. I want to give schools a very gentle nudge. Instead of kindergarten being an early childhood thing, I would like to propose that its spirit prevail in all things. Can you imagine schools from which all young men and women emerge with a clear understanding of their own roles and responsibilities in teaching and nurturing their own children? I was lucky in that regard to have a kindergarten teacher for a mother, who understood the principles of gentle, systematic early childhood development and growth. I am grateful for the calm sea in which I learned to swim and very proud of what my mother did through her long career to still the waters for children and young parents at Wakonda Elementary in Omaha, Nebraska. If you've got kids, teach them to do real stuff. Make time for the virtual world to be put to rest. Cook, care, nourish, make, fix, create, plant, sew, grow, educate, educe, draw forth.

"Make time for the virtual world to be put to rest"
Well said Doug.
Kids do not make time for simple pleasures. This Saturday is opening day for trout. The few students of mine that are even going fishing are all using bait. None of them know the pleasure of catching a trout on a hand tied fly like I plan to, God willing. And where did I learn to make my own lures? In a lure club that my wood shop teacher started after school, over 40 years ago. That teacher of mine never knew how much he would impact my life.
I am sure you will never know how many lives you have influenced through your books, teaching, and this blog. But please, keep on blogging! It influences me and makes my day when I get a chance to read what you have to say!
Thanks Doug. - 7:50 PM

The migration process involves CITES working with our Centrex telecom provider to move lines from Centrex lines to our Microsoft Lync system; each time we initiate this process with our telecom provider, their process involves at least a three month cycle to process migrations. Thus, CITES will be processing phone number migrations once a semester. Additionally, each time CITES initiates a migration, it can only be for either voice phone numbers or fax phone numbers.

Sam Allardyce was delighted after his side's superb defensive display earned a hard-fought goalless draw at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
The result was all the more pleasing considering the skeletal squad Big Sam had to choose from ahead of the game, which forced him to name just six out of a possible seven substitutes on the bench. That said, those that were fit and available more than made up for their missing team-mates with a performance boasting teamwork, endeavour and commitment.
"We really earned our point. You know when you've got that many injuries you're always worried as a manager because you wonder whether you're team's going to be able or capable of holding out.
"Certainly based on that performance and the way they defended I was happy. We didn't create as much as we wanted and we tried as hard as we could to do that but our defensive qualities were exceptionally good.
"That frustrated West Bromwich and limited them to little or no clear-cut chances. So the players take great credit for how well they've snuffed out their attack."
In addition to delivering a point against the high-flying Baggies, Big Sam provided a further festive boost by confirming Jack Collison is set to make his long-awaited comeback from injury for the Development Squad on Monday afternoon. Along with the near-fit Alou Diarra, he is one long-term injury that the West Ham medical staff can hopefully tick off their books soon, although George McCartney's knee injury could keep him out for some time.
"You could probably say we had seven injuries because we haven't seen Alou Diarra since he joined us because he tore a thigh muscle. So it's difficult to know how good he's going to be for us because he's been out for a long time - probably ten to twelve weeks now.
"That, on top of the other six, made it very difficult for us to go to West Brom. That's why we only had six subs on the bench. We only had two really recognised players who have played any part in Modibo Maiga and James Tomkins, who we put on at the end. The rest of the lads are Development Squad players."
As expected, the absence of so many first teamers led the assembled press to question whether Allardyce was working with the Joint-Chairmen to identify targets for the upcoming January window. Although he admitted there were a few names under consideration, he insisted that task was not as important as getting the players he currently has at his disposal fighting fit again.
"If there's anybody there who can enhance or better the team then we would like to go for them. Whether that's short-term, long-term, it depends when the window opens who is actually available and who we can to get to come in.
"But the main priority for us is to get the players back. Look at how many flair players were missing - Yossi Benayoun, Andy Carroll, Ricardo Vaz Te, Jack Collison and Mo Diame. They are our players who, in possession, can create lots and lots of problems. We had a good day but not good as it could be because of the injuries."
Injuries aside, Big Sam concluded that his side can be proud of what they achieved on Sunday as he looks ahead with optimism to the busy Christmas fixture list. There are less than 150 tickets left for Saturday's first fixture with Everton, where Under-16s can get in for just £1. To secure your seat today, click here.
"I'm really relieved we got a point. I have to say the lads did a great job coping. Getting through the holiday period in December is always difficult for us all.
"But if the lads keep up the way they play, we know we're capable of winning when we play to our best. We're 17 games in and we've produced some great, great results this season so we know we're capable now."
