I am trying to decide on plasma or LCD. I will probably end up with 46" TV because my limit for total width is 50". I think I am leaning toward LCD because room is pretty bright and have read LCD is better for glare. Still open to all ideas, suggestions. Here is what I am confused about.
1. All TV's mention HDMI inputs and they range from 1 to 3, what are these for? 2. Also have noticed some do not mention audio capabilities, others say 2.1 surround and I believe one of the Sony Bravia's I looked at say 7.1 surround. Any audio recommendations to looks for? 3. Some indicated "built in tuner", I have DirectTV, am I understand I need to go through them for HD programming, but will I need an extra box of some sort...or is this the tuner that is built in?
Appreciate any and all ideas, suggestions and thoughts.
Follow-Up Postings:
1. HDMI is the latest in hookup jacks. You can use it to connect your DirecTv tuner and your DVD player to your TV. I believe the latest Sony video game, the PS3, is also HDMI capable. 2. Most of the TVs in the size you are looking at will sound OK. If you want better sound it is advised to look at adding a home theater audio system. 3A. In order to get HDTV from DirecTv you will need replace your existing DirecTv tuner with the HDTV DirecTv tuner. You may have to replace the dish outside, too. 3B. The HDTV tuner in the TV is used for HDTV broadcasts received via an antenna and maybe cable tv. |
if you will be playing any type of videogaming system on it go for an lcd.the plasma's suffer badly with image burning. |

I purchased it a year or more ago from Walgreens/Lowes/HD and misplaced the tag. I cant for the life of me remember what the heck it was and multiple, multiple, multiple different google image searches have yeilded no matches. I think it had pepper in the name but its not a pepper plant (produces fruit or anything like that). |

Nice, thats it! Any idea which one or how to propagate it? |

P. obtusifolia? I've |
I was just doing some reading about it and decided to cut a lower leaf and put it in the moist soil. We shall see what happens! |
- Posted by teengardener1888 5a (My Page) on Tue, Feb 26, 13 at 19:07
i new that was pepperomia. my princible has one and ive suspected that. please share how to propagate |
These can readily be propagated by taking a 4-6 inch stem cutting. Remove the lower leaves on the cutting and insert into moist potting medium. (You can't just take off a leaf as was mentioned earlier.) That plant appears to be severely deprived of light. I strongly suggest that the new cutting be positioned in a better location. |
I like the leggy office look! Being stretched, growing slower and requiring less frequent watering are all good things in my book. Its quite robust and the leaves are beautiful thick and succulent. Why would I want to mess that up? |
- Posted by FrugalFanny 4 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 28, 13 at 14:40
I have propagated these from both cuttings and single leaves, all in soil. Once a leaf grows a new plant, you can remove the new plant and use that same leaf to grow yet another plant! I don't know how many times this can be done from the same leaf, but it is possible. The photo is of a peperomia I started from a single leaf. You can use a little rooting hormone to help the process along, but it is not necessary. Good luck! |
This post was edited by FrugalFanny on Thu, Feb 28, 13 at 14:45
I'm fairly certain the reason my Peperomia is slouching is because the light in my office has been off for longer thank normal. Look like thats the problem? |
Because the plant has been grown in much less light than it needs in order to develop properly, the stem is terribly weak. The taller the plant, the more difficult it is for it to support itself. This is not a recent event but started early on as this plant started to stretch and become spindly. |
I thought you'd be the one to post back. If only you would have told me this was going to happen earlier! ;) Seriously though, I guess I just need to trim the branches and start rotating it back and forth from my office to a spot nearer a window perhaps. |

Tips heals too!
Par CAROLINE
de TORONTO, Ontario
I have purchased "tips" several times now. I have a problem with nails breaking and skin around the nails splitting.I use it nightly and let it soak into the nails and skin for about half an hour. Then I rub it all in and wipe it off with a paper towel. Soon my skin heals, feels smooth and soft once again and my nails start to grow. It's not perfect, but it truly helps!Before "Tips" nothing would help me heal the cracked skin or thin breaking nails. I hope TSC gets them to come back as I have noticed that they are sold out of"Tips." nail care system. Tips for nails and Tips for toes. It's easy and it works!

Par Bebe
de Vancouver, BC
This Tips for Toes is fantastic. I use it and it has helped keep my toenails from becoming hard and unappealing. I now have my mother using it. She has diabetes and so has foot issues. This keeps her toenails very healthy which is very important for diabetics. Great stuff! Shopping Channel, please come back with the two and three pack!

too many parabens
Par sassygirl
de nanaimo b.c.
I have used this product and it really worked great. I've stopped using it beacause of all the parabens added. Maybe when they take them out I'll return.
Fantastic product!
Par Marnie
de DARTMOUTH
My toes were very dry-the cuticles had become so dry and hard like. Lotions and creams did not seem to help. I tried the TIPS for toes over a 3 week period-at least twice a day!!After that 3 week period, my cuticles became softer and when I put it on, my toes felt really good-like they felt moisturized. My nails look and feel really healthy and not dry looking anymore!!Very happy with this product!I have also used this on my fingernails with great results!Remember it takes a couple of weeks at least to see the results of using this-it is not an overnight treatment but day by day you can see your nails are becoming less dry and the cuticles are not coming up over your nails-and they are not hard. After I put it on, I sort of smooth it over my nails and then I massage the rest of the "oil" over my feet-very very good!!!Now I don't have to use it twice a day- a few times a week-if I see my toes are becoming dry-then I increase my usage.

strange smell
Par tscshopper
de Manitoba
I have thin nails that break, so I use the toes formula for my hands and feet. The smell is a bit off putting. I try to use it at least once per day when it has been a while since I have used it. I get lazy. Usually in one week I find a difference. I do use gloves for dishes and cleaning so that helps too. It is expensive long term to use even a few times a week. I rarely use polish on my nails because it is so drying and seems to undo the results of the TIPS products.

Bottle needs a re-design.
Par DIANE
de CORNWALLIS , NS
I have used this product on my fingers, not my toes, as they really need help!My complaint is about the design of the bottle. The brush length is completely too short to reach down to use all the product. I have at least a quarter of the product left in the jar and waste time swishing and turning, trying to get the brush coated so I can apply the product.Please think this through, Karen and change the shape of the bottle or use a longer brush-very poor design.
Great stuff
Par The Northern Girl
de Timmins
I have been using this product for about a month now and just love it. My nail cuticles have almost completely disappeared and my toe nails look shiny and healthy. Great product.

Works well but way overpriced
Par Paula
de Ottawa
This product does what Karen says it does, BUT it has a very unpleasant odour and is overpriced. There are other nail & cuticle oils on the market which are just as effective and more economical.

Love this product. My toe nails have never looked better.

Tips for using TIPS
Par KATE
de Canada,ON,CARP
I have used all the tips products since Karen brought them to TSC. Love ! YES it works ,but it takes a while. About the lenght of your nail growing out time frame.If you use it correctly, firstly put it next to your bed and before your feet hit the floor, use it. It is important to use it before your hands & feet get wet ,So first thing after opening your eyes get it on. Then go take your shower or forget it for the day. Using the hand wash & cream helps. TIP 1 If your hands or feet are very bad Use tips for toes on hands making sure to put it under and over nail and above nail a bit.Do it 2x daily or more. TIP 2 while first on tips try to give up polish & remover until it is deep in your nail ( about 3 months).You will see it working as when you put the tips on it goes clear on your nail it it does not yet do this do use it more.USE NO other products on hands or feet. 3. use tips hand lotion for hands & feet and in the begining I would use tips for hands as well, I did.Tip # 5 this is one I have kept to myself. Get a thin pr of rubber gloves ( I keep mine from hair colouring kit) AND then wash you hair YES Hair with gloves on. The reason I found out is the strands of hair saw into th sides of your nail and start a grove and it will break. Hair is a really strong if you put your hands in your hair a lot ..try not to. And these are my hints for Tip users. I thank you Karen as a diabetic I use it daily and get this girls I have NOT had a broken nail in at least 5 years!!!And good nails make your hands look younger which is my last tip fix your nails with tips and loose years of aging,old hands.\Many thanks for reading & good luck with your nails!

Sample reunion
TO THE EDITOR: A Sample family reunion was held on July 28, 2012, at Rainbow Banquet Hall in Altona.
Family members who attended were descendants of David Sample Sr. and Mary (Rolston) Sample (first generation, 1800s), natives of Tyrone, Ireland, and who settled in Canada. It was a great day for the 110-plus family members present to reminisce and to meet cousins unknown.
Samples attending the reunion were from all local area, including Sample relatives from Canada; also, Sample relatives in attendance from locations/states within the East Coast of the United States. Age range was from 96 years to 14 days. The day guaranteed memories to last a lifetime!
Next Sample reunion is planned for July 26, 2014. It is hoped many new Sample relatives can be contacted with an invitation to participate in the 2014 reunion gathering.

Become informed
TO THE EDITOR: Readers have doubtless observed the recent, seemingly endless proliferation of campaign advertising that pretty much assaults us whenever we open a newspaper or try to watch anything on television.
It may have occurred to some readers, as it has to me, that a number of people have decided to flood big money into the campaign, not only by donating to candidates and parties but also by advertising on their own in an attempt to influence voters and the outcome of the election.
The League of Women Voters was born more than 90 years ago out of the fight to secure the vote for women. We are still committed to nonpartisan programs of education and advocacy. The local league, for which I am honored to serve as president, has joined other leagues across the state and nation in concerted efforts to shine a bright light on the upcoming election and the importance for each citizen exercising her/his right to vote.
The League of Women Voters believes that a flood of informed voters is the best remedy for the flood of sometimes misleading advertising. We are working to empower the vote by making nonpartisan election information to everyone on an Internet site: www.VOTE411.org. The information was provided by candidates of all parties in response to league requests. Candidates' comments are presented in the candidates' own words, uncut and unedited.
Voting is a precious right and responsibility, for which many have fought and died. Informed voting is the next step, and the core issue in the election on Nov. 6. Take advantage of the opportunity to become informed and then exercise your right to vote.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Barack Obama met his vanquished Republican rival Mitt Romney for what was supposed to be a friendly lunch Thursday, but it ended badly.
The meeting was held at a secret location selected by the Obama camp, Louis' Italian Restaurant in the Bronx, well-known as a small family place with good food and a reputation for everyone minding his business. It reportedly has the best veal in the city.
The meeting got off to a bumpy start when Obama insisted that his bodyguard, Captain McCluskey, frisk Romney. McCluskey announced "he's clean," and Obama kicked off the discussion.
"I'm glad you came, Mitt," said Obama. "I hope we can straighten everything out."
Romney stared ahead icily. "We'll straighten everything out over lunch."
The men ordered, and Obama turned to Capt. McCluskey. "I'm gonna speak Italian to Mitt." The President proceeded to speak at length in Italian, but the quizzical look on Romney's face indicated he had no idea what Obama was saying.
After several minutes, Romney interrupted the president. "I have to go to the bathroom. Is that all right?"
Obama glanced at Capt. McCluskey, who had no problem with Romney's request. "You gotta go, you gotta go," McCluskey said. Romney got up and briskly walked to the men's room.
Obama and McCluskey became concerned that Romney didn't come out after several minutes, so they summoned secret service agents who found the former Massachusetts governor frantically searching for something behind an old-fashion' toilet, the box and chain-kind. They escorted Romney out of the restaurant, and the lunch meeting was officially over.
Romney returned to his California home, to his family's surprise. He had told them he wouldn't be returning after the lunch but would be going away to an undisclosed location in Italy for at least a year.

I am planning on purchasing my first front-load washer, and price really increases with the size of the machine. My question is what size to buy for 2 adults?
Other that when I wash the king mattress pad or the king sheets and a bunch of towels together, I rarely wash a full load in my "Super Capacity" top-loader. I like to wash small loads more frequently to separate out lights, darks, delicates, etc. I also have read in this forum that the front-load washers do not clean small loads well. This makes no sense to me, since the washer drum is vertical, but perhaps this is true. If anyone can explain this, I would appreciate it. While it would be nice to wash the king comforter at home, that is something I wash only rarely. |

For two people, even a smaller 2 cuft European machine would be more than enough. I have a 4 cuft machine in a 2-person household, but my partner goes through a lot of laundry and business attire over the course of the week. However, we hardly ever fill the machine to full capacity except when washing sheets and duvets. I bought the larger capacity machines because of their ability to better wash blankets, king size sheet sets, duvets, etc. In my 4 cuft machine, I can wash a king size fitted sheet, pad, pillow cases and duvet with room to spare. |
Is your washing machine in this list by any chance? http://wize.com/washing-machines/t71149-king-size-comforter |
Not sure I would pay too much attention to the wize survey. There is a post on there from a user claiming her GE portable machine that rolls up to the kitchen sink handles her king sized comforter. LOL MRB |

I have a 2.5 front loader for a 2-person (plus one dog) household that accommodates a similar laundry routine. I separate a lot too, which results in smaller, more frequent loads. It's pretty dreamy. I have a 4.0 at another home and it's somewhat luxurious comparatively when an entire set of bed linen can be washed in one go. For non-whites it's rarely 2/3 full after a week. |
We upgraded from 3.7 cf to 4.2 cf last year. 2 adults and a teenager. The 3.7 was definitely adequate for normal laundry, we only upgraded because we wanted an internal heater and the 4.2 machine was on a great sale. The only significant difference is when I wash my thick king size mattress pad. It fit in the old machine but it definitely has more room to tumble in the new machine resulting in better washing performance. Most of my loads are half full so a smaller machine would be just fine. |

We have a Samsung 382 i believe. In their ad they say it does 16 pair of jeans at the same time. They lie. We only wash about once a week and separate whites from lights from darks. Many times our machine is loaded a bit more than optimum. There are only two of us. We have washed our queen sized comforters. The big problem in front loaders is that current ones need to use very little water to be energy star complient. I get around that by doing all loads on "Heavy Duty" which extends the wash time until the clothes have time to get wet and I use a lot of detergent. Some machines/brand of detergent would have a suds problem, but what we use works. I also always do an extra rinse, and sometimes open and shut the door and do a short cycle just to rinse out all that soap. So much for water saving---but it works and our clothea are getting a lot less wear than they did from our old top loaders. |
- Posted by sshrivastava (My Page) on Sat, Jul 30, 11 at 11:59
@ nerdyshopper I hate to suggest that there is something wrong with your machine, but what you describe doesn't sound normal at all. You shouldn't have to use the Heavy Duty cycle to properly wet your clothes, the machine should sense and adjust as needed. Also, you shouldn't have to run extra rinse cycles. If you use "a lot of detergent", as you say, maybe you should use less so that your machine can rinse properly? |
Hi all, thanks for the advice. I just bought a 3.7 cf Samsung Steam washer WF419AW on sale at Lowe's. I did not buy the matching dryer, but a more basic one (DV220AEW), also on clearance. These seem to be discontinued models. |

Burning At Daybreak
Don't know if you're aware of this but Allen Epley of Shiner has a band called THE LIFE AND TIMES and their new album TRAGIC BOOGIE is the best album of 2009 in my opinion. Check them out here http://www.myspace.com/thelifeandtimes
What we really need is for my favorite band of all time HUM to make a new album and not just reunite every couple years to play a show.
Drive Like Jehu have always sounded similar but inferior to my ears, although they might be equal in intensity their musical talent is lacking. Sorry.
Try listening to Chinese Fork Tie off JAWBOX's final self-titled album and try tell me i'm incorrect.
I'm only stating this because you said they were CRAPPY and boring, not just boring.
She is the original bassist and not filling in, they have been around since 1990 so yeah, she is old enough to be a mom. I'm a dad myself and i'm sure most of their fans are parents by now, LOL!
Sorry about the double post, thought i stopped it before it went through.
This guy is lying out his ass when he says he didn't really know who Postal Service was when he wrote this.
It's such a watered down piece of crap by the way.

Papa John's chief executive, John Schnatter, says he will have to reduce working hours for his employees, and therefore their pay, due to Obamacare. He says that otherwise he will have to increase the cost of his pizza anywhere from 11 to 14 cents.
Certainly, millions of Papa John's customers will not put out another 14 cents to buy his product. Hang in there, John. Who knows, maybe you will have to cut back on your free pizza deals as well. The concern for your employees and confidence in your product is heartwarming to all your loyal customers.

I am currently renting a duplex and the house is at the tail end of changing hands to a new owner. The new owner is using it as an investment property so we will be staying and he will rent out the other side. We have not spoken to him yet; only the broker. He sent us a letter, throughhis lawer, notifying us of a rent increase (which is fine). However, is it legal for the new owner to be asking us to sign a rent increase letter if he doesn't officially own the house yet? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
It depends on the laws in your state. In some states, if you have a lease, the new landlord must honor all the terms of the lease, including the amount of rent. But in other states, the new landlord has the freedom to make changes. If you are month-to-month, the law usually allows for a rent increase with a certain amount of notice, usually 30 days. Google "tenant landlord law yourstate" or "tenant rights yourstate" to find out what's allowed where you live. I'm guessing you are month-to-month, if the landlord is increasing the rent right away, or you are in a state where the old lease becomes invalid. Off the top of my head, I'd say that the new landlord could only increase the rent after he owned the building. He'd have to sign the contract to buy it, and only then could he give you the 30 days notice. Does the rent increase letter you have give any date for the increase? Closings for the sale of homes are often delayed at the last minute, so I wouldn't want to sign anything unless a) it stipulated that the rent increase would take effect 30 days after the new owner took possession or b) I was signing after the new owner took possession. |
Thank you! I don't even know the closing date on the house. I am going to reach out to my lawyer today. I looked up a few things on the interenet, but there is so much information. |

Well, you have to make a good impression to your new landlotd then. |
I'm a landlord here in Boston Ma with several property's. If your O.K. with the increase, a good tenant to me is 1) pay your rent on time. 2) Keep your unit clean, and the common area clean. As a tenant you rent the interior of the unit ONLY, not the common hall for your bike, not the yard to keep your old sofa or un registered car etc., communicate with him. If a common area bulb burnt out, change it and let him know with a note in next months rent. Additionally HELP HIM OUT! If it snows where you are-shovel the walk, mow his lawn, decrease the amount of issues he may have with the building. Notify him of issues and offer a solution if you can solve it. Beautify the outside area. Remember the old Land Lord is gone and not coming back ( did he even offer to sell you the property prior?) so don't say Mr. Smith let us wash our cars with the hose. Water bills here for example are sky high. If you find it's not a good fit you can always move. But the previous tenants who have made my life easier never got a rent increase. Good Luck |
Seriously, mow his lawn? I'd hope that at least the landlord would be providing the lawn mower and gas, and knocking a bit off the rent for the lawn service. I'll help landlords out by notifying them immediately if something goes wrong--a leak, a broken window, bats in the attic. And taking care of little things like a plugged toilet myself, not calling them for every loose screw. But if I'm doing work that the landlord should be providing, like shoveling snow (which Boston landlords have to do within, what, 8 hours of the end of a snowfall?), I'd expect some compensation for the work. And that being said, I do shovel my way down the stairs and out to my car, because I usually have to leave for work long before my landlord gets around to clearing the snow. But if I were expected to shovel out the entire sidewalk and driveway, I'd be paying less rent those months. A good tenant doesn't damage the landlord's property. Pays rent on time. Keeps things clean. But if the definition of a good tenant is that they do lawn care and snow removal and property maintenance, then I'm a horrible tenant. |

But if the definition of a good tenant is that they do lawn care and snow removal and property maintenance, then I'm a horrible tenant. I'm thinking that if I wanted to mow grass and shovel driveways, I'd buy a house. ;-) I used to have elderly landlords that lived in the same building. On snowy days when I left early for work, I would clean off their cars and shovel a path for them. That was just because they were elderly. |

Where I live, if you rent a HOUSE, you are in charge of the yard work and the snow shoveling in front of the house. |

"I don't even know the closing date on the house. I am going to reach out to my lawyer today." It is nice that you have a lawyer you can speak to. Good luck with your new landlord. Hope all works out well. |

Generally All the legal notices are worthless unless he officially owes that house. Moreover He can't force you immediately to rent increment as the things are acquired with all assets and liabilities. So you must consult the previous owner as well and also must have an idea about the law of your state. |

Larsen PS et al. – Occupational lifting may increase the risk of pelvic pain during pregnancy.
Methods- The study comprised 50 143 pregnant women, enrolled in the Danish National Birth Cohort in the period from 1996–2002.
- During pregnancy, the women provided information on occupational lifting (weight load and daily frequency), and six months post partum on pelvic pain.
- Adjusted odds ratios for pelvic pain during pregnancy according to occupational lifting were calculated by logistic regression.
- Any self–reported occupational lifting (>1 time/day and loads weighing >10 kg) was associated with an increased risk of pelvic pain during pregnancy as compared to no such lifting.
- A confounder–adjusted exposure–response relation was observed between self–reported total loads lifted and pelvic pain during pregnancy.
- Daily lifting of both medium (11–20 kg) and heavy loads (>20 kg) were associated with increased risk, and the highest risk was observed among women who lifted heavy loads independent of exposure to medium loads.

If, like me, you have a database full of small tables, but all amounting to a large amount of data then dumping the data from it into a single file is handy, but not very useful when it comes to retrieving a backup of one single table.
Instead, wouldn't it be easier to dump each individual table into it's own file? What about keeping a week's worth of backups? Here's one way I backup my WordPress db with a little Bash script:
export d=`date +%u`
mkdir -p backup/$d
for i in `echo "show tables" | mysql -u username -ppassword database|grep -v Tables_in_`;
echo $i; mysqldump --add-drop-table --allow-keywords -q -a -c -u username -ppassword database $i > backup/$d/$i.sql
rm -f backup/$d/$i.sql.gz

text: After hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged New Orleans in 2005, high school football jumpstarted a community weary of destruction, displacement, and incompetent bureaucracy. At least that's Neal Thompson's thesis in Hurricane Season, as he chronicles one unforgettable season at the city's John Curtis Christian High School. Lest you forget, Thompson drops a reminder on practically every page (''Laying down the lines and lining up the equipment is a deeply therapeutic exercise, almost like a religious experience''). He shadows the team's coaching staff, led by members of the close-knit Curtis family that founded the school, but he never fully cracks their inner sanctum it feels as if he's writing from somebody else's notes. Though he aspires to rival Buzz Bissenger (Friday Night Lights), Hurricane reads more like a Matt Christopher novel. C-

An affecting and hope-filled posthumous collection of essays and stories from the talented young Yale graduate whose title essay captured the world's attention in 2012 and turned her into an icon for her generation.
Marina Keegan's star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York International Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at the New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash.
As her family, friends, and classmates, deep in grief, joined to create a memorial service for Marina, her unforgettable last essay for the Yale Daily News, "The Opposite of Loneliness," went viral, receiving more than 1.4 million hits. She had struck a chord.
Even though she was just twenty-two when she died, Marina left behind a rich, expansive trove of prose that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation. The Opposite of Loneliness is an assemblage of Marina's essays and stories that, like The Last Lecture, articulates the universal struggle that all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to make an impact on the world.
The story of Marina Keegan isn't a happy one. In 2012, five days after she graduated from Yale University, Marina was killed in a car accident. Shortly afterward, the essay she had written for the Yale commencement program The Opposite of Loneliness went viral on the internet receiving millions of views. Now, a collection of her works–both fiction and non-fiction–has been released for the world to read.
I was one of the people who read the essay in 2012. I was incredibly struck by her untimely death as Marina is only three weeks younger than me. We were born in the same month. To know that, and then to read words like "We're so young. We're so young. We're twenty-two years old. We have so much time." struck me deeper than I thought it would. So when I head that Scriber was publishing Marina's works posthumously, I knew that I had to read the book.
And wow. Marina may have been young, but her talent was not. In both her essays and her stories, she has a unique voice that not only pulls you in, but leaves you thinking afterwords. Her stories are about corners of life you would never have thought to visit, and make you wonder what made her think to write about something like that. Her essays range from funny to frank to heartbreakingly candid, and I know that if Marina had lived, the words she would have written would have changed the world. It saddens me that we will never read those words.
This book is both moving, and stunning. I hope that as you read this book, at no matter what age, you remember that you have so much time, but never ever take that time for granted.

"The wonderful thing about Bill Frisell and Michael Moore is that they listen so well," notes Bruning. "They just listen, and they always seem to provide what the music needs. They never seem to be playing in such a way that they're trying — if you can forgive me for using this expression — they never seem to play where they're trying to strut their stuff. They always seem to be playing what seems to be best, musically speaking, for the moment, and that only comes from listening."
While Bruning has taught for decades, he was a performer long before he even thought about teaching. He grew up in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, with a musical family: His mother played the piano and his father was a professional drummer. Bruning himself started piano lessons when he was about seven years old, and says that if being a professional musician means being paid for your services, then he's been one since he was a sophomore in high school.
After graduating, he went on the road with a quartet until the Korean War, when he went into the Navy as a musician for four years. After wrapping up his stint with the Navy, Bruning did a bit more traveling on the road before moving to Philadelphia to attend Temple University. Early on in his teaching career, he felt that the thing that could make him the most effective as a teacher was to continue to play, because that's what kept his fire going.

"If a student would say to me, 'Dale, if you're on the bandstand playing and someone does this or that, what should you do as a guitar player?'" he remembers. "Well, if you've never been on the bandstand, how are you going to answer that question? So that's why I felt my continuing to perform was maybe one of the most important elements of how my approach to teaching would be, along with that model that Sandole had given me.
"I have a handful of students that I'm trying to do my best with," he concludes. "Deep down in my heart, I always think of myself as a performer. And it doesn't mean by saying that that the performing part comes first; it just means that that's what kind of keeps my fire going, because if I lose enthusiasm about the music, then I'm not going to be very effective with teaching at all."

A confident Bangladesh U-19 team faced the media this morning in their official press conference before leaving for the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup at Dubai, UAE. Bangladesh U-19 team is in group B with Afghanistan, Australia and Namibia. Top two teams from each of the four groups will play the Quarterfinals and the bottom two will feature at the Plate Championship.
The previous U-19 teams had shown great potential but unfortunately Bangladesh's best success so far was securing 5th position in the 2008 edition of the tournament. Mr. NazmulAbedinFahim, the manager & technical advisor of the team, has also been involved with the previous batches of the U-19 and believes the current lot of players are different from past. According to him, the players have gone through a high intensity training program, played against quality teams home and abroad and have shown gradual progress in all three departments of the game. The rapport among the players and team management is also very good.
The head coach, Mr. Mohammad Mizanur Rahman and young tigers' captain, Mehidy Hassan Miraz, echoed each other in saying that the team's main strength is their high team spirit. Most of the players have been playing cricket together since the U-17 days and they understand each other's game really well. The captain believes that Dubai's pitch will assist the tigers' main strength, spin. Bangladesh U-19 was unlucky to receive an early exit in U-19 Asia Cup, last month in Dubai. This time the captain is looking forward to become the group champion by winning all three matches of group stage. The team management is very optimistic of a good result from this U-19 World Cup.
Tigercricket asked the team's head coach about how well prepared the team is to face the tougher oppositions like Australia and Afghanistan in the group stage and in through, one of West Indies and South Africa in the Quarterfinals. He was confident in replying that rigorous analysis of the opposition teams have been done and the strategies have been set accordingly. Also, the team has shown good progress in top order batting in the recent practice matches, which was a worrying factor in U-19 Asia Cup.
Bangladesh U-19 will start for Dubai on 8 February. They will face Papua New Guinea U-19 & England U-19 in two practices matches before facing Afghanistan U-19 in their first match of the tournament on 15th February. The second match is against Namibia U-19 on 17February and the last match is against Australia U-19 on 19 February.

Icynene Spray Foam Insulation from Kishorn Insulations
Kishorn Insulations is a family owned business, the Director and managers have wealth of experience with getting the envelope of truly energy efficient buildings right. We know that the cheapest job usually turns into a building that costs much more to heat, than the initial savings, over its life. So often we are asked to look at relatively new houses which are costing far too much to heat. Houses built after 2000 should have a fair level of insulation, but often this insulation is ill fitting, degrading and poor quality and simply not working.
At Kishorn Insulations we offer a service to our clients which involves a level of education on how a building performs, and how it can be improved. It is not unusual to get feedback that we have reduced heating bills by over 50%. We will provide you with all the information you need to make a well informed decision, and if we think what you are asking of us is not the best solution, we will tell you and explain why, in the end the decision is yours.
Our clients are very important to us; we know without delighted clients we have no future with our business. We constantly invest in the latest installation plant, and training for our teams, which in turn provides the best installations. We do not aim to be the cheapest insulation installer on the market, and we are not, but we do offer unrivalled market leading products, and an installation service which is second to none. Each job is passed of for quality, and our standards are often higher than the expectations of our clients.
Global Warming is something we take very seriously, and to this end we have not only considered how to reduce a buildings (both new and existing) energy demand, but also the effects the products used. Our Icynene products have no HFCs HCFCs or other ozone depleting chemicals in them and they only use water in their application. After deciding spray foam was the only way to insulate buildings effectively, we looked at all the manufactures of Spray Foam on the market, and were less than impressed with most. As a responsible installer we have a duty that the products we install are healthy for the building users and the installers, right for the building fabric and have the lowest GWP (Global Warming Potential) index possible, this is why we made Icynene, with a GWP of 1, our choice. Icynene hold the same values as us.

National Incident Management
System |
With the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, many changes have come into being. One of these was the creation of a standard Incident Management System, known as the National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS has become a highly debated topic of great importance to a wide variety of agencies across the United States. The adoption of NIMS by all agencies in the United States is important for two reasons. First, all agencies need to be utilizing the same system. Second, the adoption and use of NIMS will soon be a requirement to be a recipient of any federal grant. Please select the link at the left for the section that best applies to you for instructions on how to become in compliance. For Chelan

Campaign '04: Kerry, Bush at near-opposite extremes on death penalty
By Patricia Zapor
Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Should Sen. John F. Kerry be elected in November, the United States would have as president its strongest opponent of the death penalty in at least the last half-century, capital punishment opponents believe.
Kerry would be "the most anti-death penalty president elected in the modern era," according to David Elliot of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty.
Between the Massachusetts Democrat and his Republican opponent, President George W. Bush, there are clear distinctions when it comes to capital punishment. The topic is among a series of issues addressed by the U.S. Catholic bishops in their election-year publication, "Faithful Citizenship: A Catholic Call to Political Responsibility."
As governor of Texas, Bush signed off on 152 executions. As president, he has maintained his support for the death penalty. Three men have been executed under federal law while he has been in office, the first federal executions since 1963. (In 1972 the Supreme Court overturned death penalty laws. A revised federal law was enacted in 1988.)
Bush also has expanded use of the death penalty through new terrorism-related provisions and he is seeking further broadening of the Patriot Act to allow capital punishment in more cases. Attorney General John Ashcroft also has encouraged federal prosecutors to evaluate more crimes for possible capital prosecution under federal laws, especially in states that do not have state-level capital punishment laws.
Kerry has said he opposes capital punishment except in cases involving terrorism. While he may have voted in favor of some omnibus crime bills that included expansions of capital punishment, on stand-alone legislation Kerry has opposed the death penalty in a variety of ways.
He was one of just five co-sponsors of a 2001 bill calling for a nationwide moratorium on executions while a study is conducted of how the death penalty is applied.
He opposed bills that would have re-established the death penalty in the District of Columbia and battled efforts to make certain drug offenses capital crimes. Kerry also has supported bills to prohibit capital punishment for juveniles and the Innocence Protection Act, which would open up the use of DNA evidence.
Frank McNeirney, director of Catholics Against Capital Punishment, said that as far as the death penalty is concerned Kerry represents a refreshing change of pace among presidential candidates.
Every president in recent history has supported the death penalty while in office. Former President Jimmy Carter now speaks out against the execution of juveniles and other forms of capital punishment, but as governor of Georgia he signed a law reinstating the death sentence there.
McNeirney noted that this year the Democratic platform even dropped a reference to supporting capital punishment, which it had included for at least the previous three campaign cycles. The Republican platform says the party supports "courts having the option to impose the death penalty in capital murder cases."
Most U.S. provisions for the death penalty are at the state level, and the president has no role in how they are applied, with the somewhat distant exception of the appointment of federal judges who may ultimately rule on some capital cases.
The federal death penalty does fall under the president's purview, however, particularly through decisions of the Justice Department about when capital convictions are pursued.
"One reason why death penalty opponents would welcome a Kerry victory is that it would undoubtedly result in the appointment of a U.S. attorney general who either opposes capital punishment or, at the least, would be far less aggressive in seeking death sentences for crimes covered by federal law than ... Ashcroft," McNeirney said.
He described Ashcroft's "passion for seeking the death penalty" as unprecedented, and noted that the attorney general frequently overrides the advice of local U.S. attorneys to decide in favor of prosecuting more cases under death penalty laws, "extending even to states where citizens and their lawmakers have long ago abolished executions."
McNeirney noted that the president can exercise clemency for those convicted of federal crimes as well as potentially influence the use of capital punishment in military prosecutions.
The president might also create a commission to evaluate the application of the death penalty nationwide, as has been done by some states, he added.
The Kerry campaign did not respond to requests from
Catholic News Service
for comment about how he might approach those issues.
"Faithful Citizenship" summarizes the church's position by saying, "Society has a right and duty to defend itself against violent crime and a duty to reach out to victims of crime. Yet our nation's increasing reliance on the death penalty cannot be justified. We do not teach that killing is wrong by killing those who kill others."
It goes on to note that Pope John Paul II has said the death penalty is "both cruel and unnecessary" in modern society.
"We encourage solutions to violent crime that reflect the dignity of the human person, urging our nation to abandon the use of capital punishment," the document says. "We also urge passage of legislation that would address problems in the judicial system, and restrict and restrain the use of the death penalty through use of DNA evidence, a guarantee of effective counsel, and efforts to address issues of racial justice."

Finding the finest restaurant for Valentine's Day? That's easy.
Pictured above, though, just happens to be the most romantic pair of seats in South Florida.
It's table No. 14, and it occupies a private little spot on the dock outside the new Seasalt & Pepper.
Now sure, other outside tables also offer that Miami River view — but you'd have to share it with other tables. And their sickening attempts at romantic conversation.
Nah, you're gonna have some privacy, your own private mini-heliport.
Before dinner, linger a bit indoors, where the mile-high windows and marvelous light fixtures give off an imposing Fortress of Solitude vibe.
From any seat in the house, you'll order from Chef Alfredo Alvarez's menu dominated by seafood served simply, like the seafood stew for two in a tomato broth you'll want to drink from a chalice.
Booking table No. 14 won't be easy. But that money burning a hole in your pocket? That's for tipping the hostess.
It's money well-spent when you've scored this, the single best Valentine's table in town.
Price: 4 (out of 4)
Noise: 2 (out of 4)
Parking: Street; valet
Scene: Packed with well-heeled Miamians from lunch to late night.
Best bets: Dockside tables right on the water or the skyline-view couches upstairs.

Why We Are Here
The UT Dallas Internal Audit and University Compliance Services programs have their origins in federal law, state law, and UT System policy. This page contains links to the documents describing the purpose and origins of our internal audit and compliance functions.
Internal Audit
Texas state law requires that UT Dallas have internal auditors regularly audit the university's operations.
UT System policy goes into greater detail about what is required of UT Dallas regarding internal audits.
In accordance with these two mandates, UT Dallas formally approved the Internal Audit Charter (below) on March 1, 2010.
Internal Audit Charter (currently in revision)
Mission and Scope of Work
The mission of the Office of Internal Audits (Internal Audit) is to provide independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value and improve UTD's operations. Internal Audit helps the University accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control mechanisms, and operational and governance processes.
The scope and nature of Internal Audit work includes:
- Evaluating and contributing to the improvement of governance, risk management, and control processes using and systematic and disciplined approach
- Assisting the university in maintaining effective controls by evaluating their effectiveness and efficiency and by promoting continuous improvement and responding to risks within the university's governance, operations, and information systems regarding the:
- Reliability and integrity of financial and operational information;
- Effectiveness and efficiency of operations;
- Safeguarding of assets; and
- Compliance with laws, regulations, and contracts.
- Providing assurance services which consist of an objective examination of evidence to provide independent assessments. Examples include financial, operational, compliance, and information technology audits
- Proving consulting services, the nature and scope of which are agreed with management, and are intended to add value and improve governance, risk management, and control processes. Examples include counsel, advice, facilitation, and training
The Director of Internal Audit (Chief Audit Executive) shall be accountable to the UT Dallas President and the UT Dallas Audit and Compliance Committee, and ultimately to the UT System CAE, the UT System Chancellor, and the Audit, Compliance, and Management Review Committee of the UT System Board of Regents to:
- provide assessments on the adequacy and effectiveness of UT Dallas' processes for controlling its activities and managing its risks in the areas set forth under the mission and scope of work
- report significant issues related to the processes for controlling the activities of UT Dallas, including potential improvements to those processes, and provide information concerning such issues through resolution
- provide information periodically on the status and results of the annual audit plan and the sufficiency of the Office of Internal Audit resources
- serve as liaison between the university and other external monitoring functions and provide information regarding the status of audits and reviews
To provide for the independence of the Office of Internal Audit, the Chief Audit Executive reports to the President. The CAE also has a dotted line reporting to the CAE at UT System Administration who reports administratively to the General Counsel to the Board of Regents and functionally to the Audit, Compliance, and Management Review Committee (ACMR) of the Board and the Chancellor.
The CAE and staff of the Office of Internal Audit have responsibility to:
- develop a flexible annual audit plan using an appropriate risk-based methodology consistent with the university's goals with input from senior management and the Audit and Compliance Committee, and submit that plan to the Audit and Compliance Committee and ACMR for review and approval
- implement the annual audit plan, as approved, including, and as appropriate, any special tasks or projects requested by management
- share information and coordinate activities with both internal and external control and monitoring functions to ensure proper coverage and minimize duplication of efforts
- provide information to the UT System Chief Audit Executive as required by UTS129 or requested to fulfill the System-wide audit oversight and reporting responsibilities
- establish a quality assurance program by which the CAE assures the operational quality of internal audit activities
- meet at least quarterly with the Audit and Compliance Committee providing periodic reports summarizing the results of audit activities, emerging trends, and successful practices in internal auditing
- assist in the investigation of significant suspected fraudulent activities as requested by management and in accordance with the UTS118, Statement of Operating Policy Pertaining to Dishonest or Fraudulent Activities
- file internal audit reports and related responses or action plans with the UT System Audit Office, the Office of the Governor, the State Auditor's Office, the Sunset Advisory Commission, and the Legislative Budget Board
- prepare the annual report required by the Texas Internal Auditing Act (Section 2102, Government Code) and submit the report to the UTD President, UT System Audit Office, the Office of the Governor, the State Auditor's Office, the Sunset Advisory Commission, and the Legislative Budget Board
- maintain a professional audit staff with sufficient knowledge, skills, experience, and professional certifications to meet the requirements of this charter, including ensuring appropriate continuing professional development to ensure the staff has the skills and abilities to perform audit assignments
- perform special requests, projects, investigations, and consulting services as requested by management
Internal Audit staff is authorized to:
- Have full, free, and unrestricted access to all functions, activities, records, property, information systems, and personnel needed to accomplish its mission and scope of work
- Allocate resources, set frequencies, select subjects, determine scopes of work, and apply the techniques required to accomplish audit objectives
- Obtain the necessary cooperation and assistance of personnel in units where Internal Audit performs audits, as well as other specialized services from within or outside the institution
Internal Audit staff is not authorized or expected to:
- Perform any operational duties
- Initiate or approve accounting transactions external to Internal Audit
- Direct the activities of any UTD employee not employed by the Office of Audit and Compliance, except to the extent such employees have been appropriately assigned to auditing teams or to otherwise assist the auditors
Standards of Audit Practice
The Internal Audit Activity will conform with The Institute of Internal Auditors' International Professional Practices Framework that includes the Definition of Internal Auditing, The International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, and the Code of Ethics; Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards; The Texas Internal Auditing Act; and UTS129, Internal Audit Activities, as applicable.
The Internal Audit Charter was formally approved by the UT Dallas Audit and Compliance Committee on March 1, 2010. Periodic reviews of the charter will be performed by the Committee.
In the 1990s, the federal government created sentencing guidelines for organizations found guilty of offenses. One section of these guidelines outlines how organizations can reduce the severity of sentences by implementing effective compliance and ethics programs.
To address this need for compliance and ethics programs in the UT System, in April 1998, the UT System Board of Regents approved the Action Plan to Ensure Institutional Compliance, which created the institutional compliance program at UT Dallas.
