Division: | Doors And Windows |
Section: | Wood Windows |
Last Modified: | 02/24/2012 |
Details: | Replacing A Wood Window Sill REPLACING A WOOD WINDOW SILL PART 1---GENERAL 1.01 SUMMARY A. This procedure includes guidance on replacing a severely deteriorated wood window sill. B. To arrest deterioration, repair sill with epoxy consolidant (see 08610-06-R and 06300-01-R for guidance). If sill is beyond repair, it must be replaced (see procedure outlined below). C. See 01100-07-S for general project guidelines to be reviewed along with this procedure. These guidelines cover the following sections: 1. Safety Precautions 2. Historic Structures Precautions 3. Submittals 4. Quality Assurance 5. Delivery, Storage and Handling 6. Project/Site Conditions 7. Sequencing and Scheduling 8. General Protection (Surface and Surrounding) These guidelines should be reviewed prior to performing this procedure and should be followed, when applicable, along with recommendations from the Regional Historic Preservation Officer (RHPO). 1.02 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION A. A wood window sill in good condition is free from decay and sloped away from the building to shed water. The connection between sill and jamb is tight and well caulked. The sub-sill should have a drip on the bottom that prevents water from entering the building under the window assembly. 1.03 DEFINITIONS A. Window apron - A flat broad piece of finished lumber or trim placed directly under a window sill. B. Window stool - A horizontal board on a window sill which forms a base on which the casing rests. PART 2---PRODUCTS 2.01 MATERIALS A. Lumber for new sill and subsill (match species, size and grain direction of original) 2.02 EQUIPMENT A. Prybar B. Wide blade putty knives C. Back saw D. Chisel E. Hacksaw F. Router G. Caulk PART 3---EXECUTION 3.01 ERECTION, INSTALLATION, APPLICATION A. Remove stool and apron from interior of window. Pry apron off and tap stool out from under jambs. 1. Insert the blade of a wide putty knife between the apron and the wall; carefully tap a prybar into the same gap, allowing the knife blade to protect the wall. 2. Using the wall as a fulcrum, work the apron away from the wall until a nail is visible, hold the gap open with a piece of blocking or another prybar. 3. Continue working at each nail location until the next nail is exposed. When all of the nails have been exposed, the apron should easily lift off. C. Attempt to tap sill out of place. If this is not possible, measure sill thoroughly for replacement then saw or chisel sill out carefully. Follow same directions to remove sub-sill, if required. NOTE: The sill may be nailed at rail or under weatherstripping. D. Remove exposed portions of nails that secured the dadoes. E. If required, new sub-sill must be installed first. Rout a drip to underside of sub-sill to prevent water from entering wall from under window. F. Cut sill to match original and sand sill before installation. Bevel ends slightly to ease installation. G. Nail sill into casing from underneath. Countersink nail and fill hole with putty and seal. Seal edge of sill with caulk at jamb connection. H. Prime and paint (see 06300-01-S, 06300-02-R and 09900-07- S for guidance on painting wood). END OF SECTION |

Xinhua reports that Paramount has signed a copyright deal with BesTV New Media that will give BesTV the right to play Paramount films via its Internet TV and IPTV Premiere services. Films from the Mission: Impossible and Star Trek franchises will be first, followed by other classics such as Forrest Gump and Ghost.
EntGroup tells Boxoffice that Skyfall made $5.1 million on its first day of release on 5,500 screens, which includes $200,000 or so from midnight shows. That's a bit underwhelming considering that Skyfall is the widest theatrical release ever in China.
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol made $12 million in China during its first two days, and now it doesn't look like Skyfall will be able to match that. Ghost Protocol ended its Chinese run with $102.7 million.
The Grandmasters finished in first place during the week of 1/14-1/20 with a total of $13.7 million. Wong Kar Wai's latest is now up to a respectable $39.5 million. Skyfall opened on Monday in China and it's possible that many Chinese movie-goers were simply saving their money for the new Bond flick.
Bona Film Group's Bring Happiness House debuted to $13.4 million. The film is a spin-off of a popular Chinese cable TV show.
CZ12 landed in third with $8 million. Jackie Chan's latest is now up to $135.1 million
Lost in Thailand fell to fourth place with $4.9 million for a total of $196 million. It doesn't look as though the comedy will catch up to Avatar's $203.8 million haul.

Michael Cieply at The New York Times takes a closer look at how Dalian Wanda Group's promise to invest $10 billion in entertainment and commercial properties in North America is taking a while to come to fruition.
"Both sides are likely to continue pressing their efforts; Hollywood is eager to have a partner that can help it tap into China's fast-growing film market, and Wanda wants to strengthen its foothold in the lucrative North American market," Cieply writes. "But the slow going underscores the disconnect inherent in negotiations between parties whose goals reflect their own, more narrow interests."

What are ways to use chia seeds.
I came across this recipe over at the lovely la tartine gourmande http://www.latartinegourmande...
Here are a few more:
Keeping it simple: you can eat them out of hand. I was dubious, but you can, just crunch them between your molars to crack them open so that the nutrition is available. Another -- put them in a smoothie; chances are a blender or food processor won't 'grind' them, but the chia seeds will thicken and stabilize the drink.
Well played.

National Hardwood Lumber Association names its keynote speaker
National Hardwood Lumber Association names its keynote speaker
The Timber Trades Journal Online reports that Sarah Palin will be the keynote speaker at this year's National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA) annual convention, which will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, from October 13-16.
"The hardwood industry has been successfully self-regulated for more than 110 years. Governor Palin supports a free enterpise system with limited government involvement and understands that industries such as ours are a great example of America's pioneering spirit," said NHLA executive director Mark Barford.
According to the organization's website, the NHLA was developed to establish a uniform system of grading rules for hardwood lumber. It was founded in 1898, making it the oldest and largest hardwood association.
American hardwoods offer consumers a great variety of color, grain and character. The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) reports that species like elm, oak and maple are ideal for interior projects such as cabinetry and flooring and that American hardwoods have become the preferred choice of the international design community for high-end interior projects such as public buildings, hotels and corporate offices as well as private homes.

After parents, I believe teachers have the greatest influence to shape the lives and the future of their students. Education is empowerment and my goal is to have my students believe and achieve this lifelong empowerment. I often share the story of my humble beginnings in rural India with students when I'd have to walk several miles a day to go to the nearest school and how, that early education opened my eyes to the world in ways I could never have imagined, The commitment to learn led me to be the first in my village to pursue a Ph.D. in Physics at Dalhousie in Canada, a post-doc at Case Western in Cleveland and see the world, as Physics often does, in ways I could never have imagined. I had the fortune of working on eye-opening projects from DARPA's metal-ceramic interfacial bonding (similar to stealth bomber coating technology) applying quantum-chemistry theories to contributing to DARPA's Polymer Program Review at the Pentagon and discussing helical organic ferromagnets. Every individual's journey will be different and the manifestations of their education can't be predicted; however, I believe the greatest gift to embark on life's journey is the gift of education.
In the various Physics courses I have taught, I try to help develop connections between theory and real-life applications. I want students to live in the world of Physics by introducing experiments, encouraging questions, debating views and often have students guide the direction of the course. During my classes, I'll try to leave them with visual and hearing memories. In order to understand theories, I'll introduce unique numerical examples that they can then apply to real-life situation around them. During practical coursework, I try and instill curiosity to try traditional as well as innovative methods to get the same results and ultimately tie back to the underlying theories underscoring experiments. I'm also an advocate for studying in groups, where students can share ideas, notes and resources. It may sound clichéd, but I don't want my classes to feel like a class, but rather a forum for building on ideas and providing access, in many ways an inspiration for Piazza, which my daughter Pooja Nath Sankar founded here in Silicon Valley and is used across 400 universities today.
I love teaching physics and have both taught and conducted research in the field for over thirty years across the globe in the United States, Canada and India. The courses I have taught include solid state physics, quantum mechanics, magnetism, optics and general classical physics at the collegiate and pre-collegiate levels. I've been fortunate to graduate over five thousand students - and it only has brought me ever more joy over the years to see my students succeed.
It is clear that Kashi knows his subject and he does a great job of going over the topics, coming up with great examples to drive home the point as well as simple "kits' to explain the principles. That is the hallmark of a great teacher. Additionally Kashi tries to help students become self sufficient and be ready for college. That is something tutors need to help their students do - get ready for college where one needs to be much more independent. I would recommend Kashi to any high school student.
We had Kashi tutor our son for AP Physics B and were very satisfied with his tutoring skills. My son found him knowledgeable and helpful across a broad range of topics.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have a Ph.D. in Physics from Dalhousie University, Canada and post-doctoral research experience from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. Besides teaching under-graduate and graduate physics courses in a college/university in India for over 25 years, I was also giving private tuition in my own coaching/tutoring center there, both individually and in batches.
My son and daughter are among over 1500 students of this tutoring center, I gave private tuition to , who went to the University of Chicago and Stanford to do MBA after graduating from IIT, the top engineering college in India.
I can teach general physics, mechanics, optics, electricity, magnetism, modern physics, quantum mechanics, solid state physics besides other subjects of physics.

For the first time in Arizona Amber Alert's three-year history, it's likely that an accused abductor and his two children have slipped across the border and disappeared into Mexico.
And while U.S. authorities have scoured the state for Rodrigo Cervantes Zavala and the children, Mexican law enforcement and immigration officials knew little of the manhunt until they were contacted by Maricopa County sheriff's investigators three days later.
The case adds to the growing concern that Mexican law enforcement is not included in the Amber Alert network. They are only notified of potential border-crossing kidnappers if and when U.S. investigators decide to give them a call, which could be hours or days later.
Cervantes and his children, 3-year-old Jennifer and 18-month-old Bryan, have been missing since late Sunday when the children's grandparents and uncle were found shot to death in a Queen Creek home. Cervantes, 34, is an investigative lead in the triple slaying.
Grandparents Saul Lopez-Acosta, 63, and Trinidad Castro Acosta, 51, were both shot in the head; and Jesus Manuel-Acosta, 17, the children's uncle, was shot in the abdomen, the medical examiner's office said Friday.
Investigators suspected early on that Cervantes, a Mexican immigrant, may have slipped into Mexico with the children before U.S. border agents received the alert early Monday.
And since Amber Alert doesn't reach across the border, the information was not immediately relayed to Mexican immigration officers who monitor the southbound traffic or to local police officers who could have helped in the search.
Amber Alert was created on a state-by-state basis as a way to notify the public of child abductions immediately by using radio and television, overhead highway signs and blinking Web site alerts.
The detailed descriptions of vehicles and license plates numbers, along with physical descriptions of the suspects and missing children, allow the public to help in the search.
The system also alerts all domestic law enforcement agencies, including local police and border agents. But it isn't linked to any dispatch or police communications systems in Mexico.
When U.S. border officials are notified, they are supposed to immediately start checking every car that comes through border checkpoints, instead of the usual random car inspections.
But what Amber Alert doesn't address is the possibility of a kidnapper making it past the U.S. Border Patrol.
"Right now, nothing is in place. We do (work) with Canada. It's easier with them because they are set up closer to the way the U.S. is set up. Mexico is a totally different thing. It's more difficult to work out those partnerships," said Art Brooks, chairman of the Arizona Amber Alert oversight committee and president of the Arizona Broadcaster's Association.
The Cervantes case is complicated by the fact that the Amber Alert was activated four hours after the slayings were discovered — plenty of time to drive to any of Arizona's border crossings.
"Our plan is to stop the abductor before he gets to the border. With this one, we didn't have that option," said Brooks. "If he was heading to the border, he would've been long gone."
All of Arizona's 21 other Amber Alert victims since 2002 have been located before they had the chance to get to the border, Brooks said.
Last month, a man who police believed stabbed his wife and left with his two children was arrested after a cab driver saw the Amber Alert on a highway sign, recognized the van described in the alert and followed it until police arrived.
California and New Mexico have had Amber Alert investigations in which children were found in Mexico.
Most Canadian states already have an Amber Alert system in place that can link with the U.S. system.
Amber Alert officials say the prospect of bringing Mexican law enforcement into the network is not a simple task, citing language, technology and culture barriers, but they are planning to address the issue soon.
Representatives from California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas are hoping to meet later this year or early next year with Mexican law enforcement to see if a plan is possible.
"Their technology is different. A lot of things are different and need to be worked out," Brooks said.
Not to mention the difficult question: Who would pay for it?
"There are painfully obvious things we could do via the Internet, but it all requires money to set up the infrastructure to do it," said Arizona Department of Public Safety Sgt. Terry Starner, who works with Mexican law enforcement in Nogales.
For now, communications between the U.S. and Mexico depend on law enforcement talking to law enforcement, Brooks said.
In the Cervantes case, it appears that it was days before sheriff's investigators made official contact with Mexico. grafs higher?
Comandante Raul Guillen of the Sonora state police in Nogales said sheriff's investigators contacted him Wednesday with details of the case and photos to give to officers.
"We are being very vigilant and looking for him," Guillen said Thursday. "We have a good relationship with police in the U.S. and try to help them as much as possible in these investigations."
But several other Mexican agencies were not included in the information exchange.
Mexican immigration officers who man the Nogales port of entry said they had not heard of the kidnapping when contacted by the Tribune on Wednesday.
Dispatchers at the Sonora, Mexico, emergency call center, which is similar to 911 but also links police agencies and keeps track of cases, also had not been informed.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Sgt. Kip Rustenburg said Friday that it was unclear why detectives waited until Wednesday to call the Sonora state police.
"Our guys are working day and night to eliminate, or verify, every little clue as it comes in, and one might have led them to Sonora," Rustenburg said. "We are putting all the manpower we possibly can on the homicide, literally working around the clock on this case. We are following every lead, and it could be taking them just about anywhere in the state, out of the state or out of the country."
And, if Cervantes did take the children and did make it to Mexico, officials say they will be difficult to track.
"There are still many rural communities, some don't have telephone services," Starner said. "For a police officer in these tiny pueblos with maybe only three cops total, for him to get any information about this guy is pretty remote. Their system is way different.
"But if you look at some of the traditional crimes, especially kidnappings and assaults on children, they are morally offensive in Mexico just like they are in the U.S. If they get their hands on one of those guys, they are real happy to help us."
If Cervantes is arrested by Mexican officials, the U.S. would likely enter into the extradition process. But since Mexico does not believe in the death penalty, successful extraditions usually have to come with a guarantee that the defendant won't be executed or sentenced to life in prison.

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 Tigger!
Facts about Tigger
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Tigger's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Tigger was found playing in the street by a good Samaritan so she took him in and took care of him until he was old enough to be adopted out as she already has too many cats and cannot afford any more. He has been neutered, tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, vaccinated, and microchipped. He's adorable and is used to both cats and dogs as he is being fostered in a home with both. If you are interested in meeting Tigger, please fill out an application for him on our website, www.catposse.org.
Other Pets at The Cat Posse
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tigger, a Pasadena Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Pasadena, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Pasadena.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pasadena 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 Pasadena 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pasadena paves the way for another one to be saved.

A new report from retail researchers Conlumino and loyalty specialist Webloyalty has found the advent of multichannel retailing has lengthened the shopping process.
According to an article on internetretailing.net, today 40.6 percent of buyers consult channels from catalogs and websites to smartphones, tablets and stores before buying big-ticket home retail items. Contrast that figure with those from 2002, when only 10.1 percent of people consulted three channels.
Similarly, in 2002 it took shoppers an average of 5.2 days to complete a big ticket purchase, while today it takes shoppers 10.3 days, with more than half of that time spent browsing and researching ahead of the purchase.
Retail analyst Neil Saunders, of Conlumino, said in the article, "It is unsurprising that homeware, electrical and furniture purchases are considered carefully by consumers and that it takes time for items to be delivered to collected. However the length of time it takes customers to browse and research their choices — more than five days — may surprise many. Retailers need to plan carefully for how they provide greater consumer engagement throughout this process."

Reinstate Mike Leach
This petition calls for the immediate and unconditional reinstatement of head football coach Mike Leach at Texas Tech University by the schools administration. Coach Leach over the last decade has established Texas Tech as a legitimate power in college football, consistently ranked at or near the top in graduation rates and in turn boosted the image and reputation of the University exponentially. This petition is signed by those who recognize the absurdity of his current suspension and seek his immediate reinstatement. There has been no evidence to support the administrations current stance and therefore shown the current suspension to be unjustified.

Nigeria reports new Ebola infections
Comment on this storyKano -
Two more people have been infected with Ebola in Nigeria, the authorities say, bringing the total number of cases there to nine as the outbreak spreads through West Africa.
All the infected patients are in hospital in Lagos, Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu announced late on Sunday.
Two people have died of Ebola in Nigeria.
The country has banned the transport of corpses across national and state borders, in an attempt to halt an outbreak that has killed almost 1 000 people in West Africa.
People who die of Ebola will have to be buried in the community where they die. The ruling will especially affect the families of Nigerians dying in Ebola-affected Liberia, Guinea or Sierra Leone, the health ministry said.
Another West African country, Senegal, has meanwhile reported its first suspected Ebola case, in the nation's north. The patient is a 27-year-old Malian.
A total of 1779 Ebola cases and 961 deaths have been reported so far, according to the WHO.
There is no cure for Ebola, which is transmitted through blood and other body fluids.
There is no proven vaccine against the disease. - Sapa-dpa

I'm basically done potting-up, mostly because I'm running out of pots and almost out of soil too. Anyone who has pre-arranged swaps with me until now will definitely get what they've asked for, pending the usual contingencies about the stuff being potted up staying alive. The one exception is Salvia Uliginosa, which is late to wake up, and is still not showing signs of life. I've potted up roots and hope for the best, but it may or may not happen. I may end up just digging up clumps, if they do wake up before the swap. I will have PLENTY to spare come Fall, and you can even see it in bloom. If you really, really, really want something, please ask now. Come this weekend, I'm calling it quits, and will just focus on tending to what I have potted up. Oh, and if anyone has small pots (Quart or smaller), I would love to take some home with me, so I'll have enough pots for the next swap. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just one thing I'd like: you can throw them in a plastic bag if you have no time to pot them up -- I lost my whole stand of Jacob Kline, and would love to replant them if you can spare me a clump. I have LOTS of pots if you want me to bring a stack. Anything else of mine you want? Lynn |
How in the world did that happen? I didn't think you could kill Monarda if you tried. I can definitely bring you a clump. I would love any smaller pots you can spare. I've potted up about 100 plants so far, and am finding myself using unnecessarily large pots because I'm out of the small ones. Would love to have Itea virginica, Phlox 'London Blue' or Sedum 'Frosty Morn', if you have any to spare. |

Suja, if you are in the area of Vienna anytime I could give you lots of pots. I have many small ones. Diana |
- Posted by madsquopper 7a No. VA (My Page) on Thu, Apr 12, 07 at 17:20
I second that. How did you manage to kill the monarda? We have both red (I think it must be Jacob Kline) and purple out the wazoo so I'll bring a few pots of it. Larry |
Diana, I take the beasties to the Oakton dog park (off Blake Lane) 5 days a week. So I'm sure I can swing by and pick some up or we can meet at a mutually convenient place. Thanks to your offer, I now have less wiggle room to weasel out of potting up plants. Larry, I think that Lynn should sell the secret to killing Monarda to the highest bidder. I'm sure there is a market for that. |
Anemone sylvestris and bronze fennel smothered it between the two of them. And then last summer's drought finished the job. Good trick, eh? That anemone has got to be the nastiest weed I have come across -- those thready roots get into everything! Lynn |
That anemone has got to be the nastiest weed I have come across -- those thready roots get into everything! So how have I managed to kill this plant twice??!! If anyone still has extra small pots (seedling size or so), I'd love to have some. Looks like I gave a lot of mine away last year. |
As I said, it is a nasty weed in my beds -- you are welcome to come by and dig as much as you want! This is the anemone sylvestris -- maple-shaped leaves on a thin stem, white blossoms in spring -- not Japanese anemone that blooms on thicker stems in the fall. I have THAT too, but it is not nearly as troublesome. Lynn |

Editor's Note: This recipe is part of our Gourmet Modern Menu for Thanksgiving for 2 or 20. Menu also includes: Citrus-Sage Roast Turkey with Gravy (whole turkey or breast ); Roasted Butternut Squash Ribbons with Arugula, Pancetta, and Hazelnut Salad; Cabernet-Cranberry Sauce with Figs; Challah, Sausage, and Dried Cherry Stuffing; and for dessert, Apple Crostata with Spiced Caramel Sauce .
- 2 pounds russet (baking) potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk, divided
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, divided
- 4 ounces coarsely grated Italian Fontina or Gruyère (about 1 cup packed)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) head cauliflower, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, including stems and core
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 3/4 to 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, divided
Put potatoes and 2 teaspoons salt in a large heavy saucepan and generously cover with cold water (about 2 1/2 quarts). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
While potatoes are boiling, heat 3/4 cup milk and 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan until butter is melted and milk is hot but not boiling. Keep warm off heat, covered.
Drain potatoes well in a sieve or colander and return to hot saucepan. Add milk mixture, Fontina, and pepper, and mash with a potato masher or fork to desired consistency. Season with salt and keep warm, covered.
Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil, then add cauliflower and garlic and simmer until cauliflower is very tender, 13 to 15 minutes.
Drain cauliflower in a colander and pulse with remaining 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, and 3 tablespoons butter in a food processor until it's a chunky purée.
Stir together mashed potatoes and cauliflower mixture in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a buttered 3-quart flameproof shallow baking dish (not glass).
Heat oven to 425°F with rack in middle. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and gently brush over potato-cauliflower mixture, then sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 to 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano (to taste). Bake until potato mixture bubbles around edges, about 20 minutes.
Turn on broiler and broil 6 to 8 inches from heat until topping is browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes.
Cooks' notes:
Potato and cauliflower mixture, without final melted butter and cheese topping, can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature, then bake and broil with topping.
Recipe can be halved and baked in a 2-quart flameproof shallow baking dish.

In honor of our recent Twitter (@crrlnews) follow by author Jonathan Maberry (@JonathanMaberry) check out this week's Friday Book Flick featuring Maberry talking about his dystopian zombie novel (are there any utopian zombie novels? .... hmmm) Rot & Ruin - a big favorite with Cafe Book teens this year.
If you liked Rot & Ruin you'll definitely want to put a hold on the sequel, Dust & Decay.
Check out Maberry's web site for more cool stuff.
Cafe Book teens at Chancellor Middle School have spoken! Out of the 20 books they read throughout the fall (all published in 2011) Lost in the River of Grass by Ginny Rorby was their Top Pick.
Top Pick:
Lost in the River of Grass by Ginny Rorby
When two Florida teenagers become stranded on a tiny island in the Everglades, they attempt to walk ten miles through swampland to reach civilization.
Other Favorites:
A Tale Dark & Grimm by Adam Gidwitz came in 2nd place
and Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry came in 3rd
Brain Jack by Brian Falkner, Girl, Stolen by April Henry, and Trapped by Michael Northrop all tied for 4th place.
On a cold day in January, the 8th graders at Freedom Middle School heard the voting results . . . their 2012 Cafe Book Top Teen Picks!

Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor
Brain Jack by Brian Falkner
Girl, Stolen by April Henry
Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier
Trapped by Michael Northrop
In his book Lawn Boy, Gary Paulsen has done a wonderful job of capturing an everyday job for a tween boy--like mowing the lawn--and expanding it into a hilarious summer experience.
Lawn Boy is a great book for boys, but I think girls will enjoy it, too. Paulsen elaborates on experiences most all teens can relate to--like not having any money and being bored during summer vacation. They're too young to drive but not that interested in toys, unless you consider video games toys. And if they want to get new video games to play, they have to come up with the funds to buy them.
Seventh and eighth graders at Dixon-Smith Middle School have chosen their favorite titles from this year's Cafe Book program. Check 'em out!
Top Pick:
Trapped by Michael Northrop
Seven high school students are stranded at their New England high school during a week-long blizzard that shuts down the power and heat, freezes the pipes, and leaves them wondering if they will survive.

Yesterday was a beautiful day on the farm. We had had a couple of days of rain previous and I had noticed we had very few flowers on our plants. I was starting to panic, wondering if we had done something wrong, and the plants weren't happy. But yesterday the sun came out and the flowers opened. The squash and cucumber plants were full of lovely yellow flowers - hundreds of them. It was gorgeous.
Yet even more beautiful were the bees and other pollinators. I saw sweat bees, bumblebees, honeybees and butterflies. When you really start thinking about what they are doing, it is amazing. I watched as a big bumblebee did a dance around the center of the male flower. It wiggled its way out of the flower and buzzed its way to another flower, this time a female flower. So innocently it impregnated the female flower. Simple yet so complicated. All the energy that goes into making that squash by so many living things, yet my contribution is miniscule. I planted the seed. We have watered on occasion, but this plant would have survived without it.
I did not grow that squash or any other plant on our farm. I watched it grow. I am not a participant in this process, I am only an observer. To know when to let go and let God is a lesson that I need to remember as a farmer.
I am learning to trust that the flowers will open and the bees will find the flowers when the time is right.

divergent views among members of Congress—views which often transcend party lines—about both the quality of the Corps' analytical methods and findings and the agency's future roles. Some congressional representatives strongly support the Corps and its traditional programs and activities, while others call for fundamental changes to the agency. Some in Congress have promoted "Corps Reform" initiatives and have drafted multiple legislative reform proposals. Congress has passed none of these proposals, but one result of these congressional debates was the passage of Section 216 of the Water Resources Development Act of 2000. That section requested that the National Academy of Sciences ("The National Academies"1) to review the Corps' peer review procedures and methods of analysis (section 216 appears in Appendix A).
In response to that authorization, the Corps provided the resources for this study. In turn, The National Academies' Water Science and Technology Board, in collaboration with its Ocean Studies Board, appointed four study panels and a coordinating committee to review various dimensions of Corps planning guidance and decision making (additional discussion of this activity can be found in this report's Foreword and Preface, and Appendix C lists the coordinating committee and panel membership rosters). The chairs of the four panels served on the coordinating committee, and some coordinating committee members participated in various panel meetings. In addition, a plenary meeting of the coordinating committee and all four panels was held in Irvine, CA in November 2002. The coordinating committee thus prepared this report while also considering progress of the four study panels in its own deliberations (the coordinating committee's statement of task is listed in Box 2-1).
The Corps of Engineers' traditional primary activity has been to construct civil works projects that control and modify hydrologic and geomorphic processes in rivers and along coastal areas, and that maintain navigation channel depths.

IRAN/RUSSIA - Iran says Russian plan could revive nuclear talks

* Moscow's new push to restart talks welcomed by Tehran
* Details of proposal not yet been made public
* U.S. has given cautious welcome to Russian initiative (Recasts, adds
TEHRAN, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad welcomed
on Tuesday a Russian attempt to revive talks with six world powers that
view its uranium enrichment programme as a potential pathway to nuclear
weapons, but was vague about what the agenda should be.
"Iran welcomes the Russian proposal and is ready to take part in it by
giving suggestions on how to cooperate," he said after talks with Russian
Security Council secretary Nikolai Patrushev, the official IRNA news
agency reported.
Earlier, Saeed Jalili, secretary general of Iran's National Security
Council, told state broadcaster IRIB that Moscow's proposal -- details of
which have not been made public -- could be used to re-launch the talks
that stalled in January.
"Our Russian friends' suggestion could be a basis for starting talks for
regional and international cooperation especially in the field of peaceful
nuclear activities,"
"Talks on cooperation can be a good strategy," he added.
Jalili's remarks gave no indication that his country was now prepared to
address what the powers see as the crucial concern -- Iran's uranium
enrichment activities. U.N. inspectors say Tehran has not proved that this
is for peaceful purposes only.
Talks between Iran and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security
Council -- the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France, plus
Germany (known as the EU3+3 or P5+1) -- in Istanbul in January foundered
when Iran insisted on having what it says is its right to produce nuclear
fuel recognised.
Since then, Iran has vowed to increase its enrichment drive and shift its
production of higher grade fuel to an underground bunker that would be
less vulnerable to a military strike.
With Israel and Washington keeping open the possibility of pre-emptive
strikes on Iran to stop it getting nuclear weapons, negotiations are a
possible way of avoiding military action that would have dire consequences
and inflame the Middle East.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told U.S. President Barack Obama in
July of Moscow's "step-by-step" approach under which Iran could address
questions about its nuclear programme and be rewarded with a gradual
easing of sanctions.
"We and the six countries as seven countries can create the grounds for
cooperation through this strategy," Jalili said.
"We have been talking about multifaceted cooperation. In particular we
spoke about Iran's nuclear problem and the need to cooperate with IAEA and
the sextet. The Iranian side welcomed proposals made by the Russian side,"
Patrushev was quoted by the Russian news agencies as saying.
While Iran plays down the "nuclear" aspect of talks, saying the
negotiations are meant to cover a wide range of issues, the Western focus
has always been Iran's atomic activities.
Iran says they are intended only to run a future network of civilian
nuclear power plants as another source of energy for its burgeoning
population so it can export more oil, and for medical and agricultural
Many countries fear Iran is secretly bent on developing nuclear weapons
capability, pointing to its past concealment of sensitive nuclear work and
continued curbs on access for International Atomic Energy Agency
Any new talks are likely to focus on concerns about Iran's nuclear
enrichment which a U.N. Security Council resolution requires it to stop
but which Tehran says it is entitled to pursue as a member of the nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Iran's decision last year to raise the level of enrichment from the 3.5
percent fissile purity needed for power plant fuel to 20 percent alarmed
countries that saw this as a notable step towards the 90 percent threshold
required for bombs.
The United States has cautiously welcomed Russia's overture to the Islamic
Republic, but says it will continue a "dual approach" of sanctions
pressure and the possibility of talks.
"We welcome any Russian effort to persuade Iran that it's time to change
course and meet its international obligations," State Department
spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said on Monday. (Reporting by Mitra Amiri;

Thoughts I Had... About Our First Look At "Grand Budapest Hotel"
In the interest of speed and efficiency, and before all this good icing melts, my uncensored thoughts as they come to me...
• This poster looks good enough to eat. Literally. All I see is a tiered heavily frosted chocolate cake and I want it in me right now. Put it in me!
• Remember when people made such a big deal of Natalie Portman's nudity in "Hotel Chevalier" even though it was only like side butt? Will their be profile nudity in this hotel? And if so whose? My guess is Léa Seydoux though its unlikely to occur at all.
• The title signage is like delicate decorative pastel frosting (I have not eaten dinner yet, can you tell?)
• So pleased that Ralph Fiennes' career seems to be on an upswing again -- I believe he's the protagonist and butler here -- though I read the weirdest headline the other day (I didn't click on the link) about The Invisible Woman, his second directorial effort, being a misfire of a vanity project. I have seen the movie and I can't for the life of me think why it would be considered a vanity project (though "misfire", maybe) when Fiennes is SO much more handsome in real life than he allows himself to look as Charles Dickens. And Dickens doesn't even come across all that well in terms of character, either. He's no outstanding citizen in the movie.
• Can Ralph Fiennes please do playful homages to Tim Curry and Forrest Whitaker and other famous butlers when he hits the talk show circuit. Please?
• Did Oscar winner F Murray Abraham get a new agent or something? Totally back! Homeland (sinister!), Inside Llewyn Davis (wonderfully judged cameo), and now this.
• This poster reminds me of the architectural minimalism of Chris Ware or maybe it could have been done by illustrator Max Dalton who did great stuff for Matt Zoller Seitz' new book on Wes Anderson. I want to read that book. Did any of you get it yet?
• My favorite Wes Anderson movies are The Royal Tenenbaums (#1 by a margin of 375 imaginary city blocks), and Moonrise Kingdom. Hotel Chevalier and Fantastic Mr Fox tie for third. No, really.
• My best friend used to live super close to the exterior of The Royal Tenenbaums on Convent Avenue here in NYC and I used to stare at that building in melancholic wonder every time it entered my field of view.
• Wes Anderson is the ideal person to make a movie about a hotel because structures are like actual characters in his movie: the train in Darjeeling Unlimited, the submarine in The Life Aquatic, the tree in Mr Fox, the vertical home in Tenenbaums, and so on...
• When will Oscar voters ever warm to Anderson? Beyond the writers branch who (wisely) gets him.
• I just noticed that Anjelica Huston's name is not on this poster and it suddenly doesn't look as tasty.

Yeah, I went back to LI in hopes that there would be no way for me to get to work over the next couple days. Yeah, I liked it a lot. I'll check it out after the storm passes.
Considering he gave Avengers a 7.75, I'm going to assume he's not a huge fan of comic book movies. They're both 9+'s in my book.
No talk of Homeland? Claire Danes proving why she earned that Emmy. Same with Lewis. Both were fantastic last night.
Im tired of this 90 degree weather here in southern cali. Prayers go out to all of those up there in the northeast. I have some family in NY and Conn so we're staying tuned to all of the news coming out.
Drowning cars in Brooklyn. BRING ON DA STORM DOE Lol at these badasses now crying for power to not go out.
Several reasons -hathaway played the role she was given well, but catman felt tacked on for the ending -the ending. unbelievably awful. so he's actually on vacation away from gotham with catwoman? why? why catwoman? because fanboys gon fanboy. -lazarus pit pissed me off. it was obvious that batman was gonna escape. just bored me. and how sweet of bane to do that. "punishment must be more severe"... it's not like he was really being tortured or anything. he was in a prison with an exit where he was left to recover. -batman felt like a pussy throughout. i know that the point is that he's beaten down and then he "rises"... but then even after he comes out of the pit... what the fuck. his beating bane just felt like a fluke... and was awfully choreographed and thought out. his arm hit one of his tubes and bane was distracted. so he just gets blasted like a second thought and never seen again? ugh. -the talia reveal made bane feel like less of a badass and more like a worker. -plot holes galore. how does batman get back into the city? -lazy. so jgl knows that batman is bruce wayne... because? he's kinda clever? how does everyone else not figure it out? -a lot of it was just kind of boring.
Any of the East Coast peeps dead yet? I need my vet status to grow n i can't do that with all you old farts still around
I couldn't imagine living somewhere that has crazy ass hurricanes and blizzards every year. Shit just doesn't seem smart to me. We have one big earthquake out there like once every 15-20 years. Im down 7 in a fantasy matchup and I have the niners defense and crabtree(who already has 2 TDs). I need this matchup!
I meant people from IGN you bastard! Poor people. My prayers go out to them and their families This was my exact thought earlier today. Crazy how people from the East coast constantly talk about the earthquakes here as if it happens regularly. We get one big one every few decades compared to people dying, losing their homes, etc almost every year
Any LA people want to go on a scavenger hunt tomorrow? http://www.nba.com/clippers/lacityhunt Gonna win that custom Clippers jersey and make it say "KOBE DA BEST"
I still got power here but a lot of places are losing power. Everything was flickering earlier over here and its flickering in my friends house. Hopefully where I'm at we dont lose it.
This Niners defense is just ridiculous. I think they can win a superbowl in spite of Alex Smith. As long as the offense can run the ball they will be tough to beat.
Its the best defense since the 01 Ravens. Many people say the whole ground and pound offense/stacked defense cant win anymore, but I just think we havent seen a team like that good enough, until now. Im on record as a Smith hater, but he is a very good game manager. As long as he has the run game going and defense dominating, he can make due. They wont win if they get in to a high scoring affair in which they need him to stretch the field though.
I would say that they could though. They beat the saints in a high scoring game just last playoffs. It really depends on how good the defense of the opposing team is. There are high scoring teams like the Saints and Packers that they can keep up with in scoring. Theres not a day that goes by that i don't wish Manning would have chosen to come here....
Tell that to the multiple people itt who crowned them sb champs in week 3. Im just changing my stance that they would not win with Smith at qb.
They just wont win the superbowl if they have to put up 30 consistently. Just wont happen with Smith. You can cherry pick certain games where they may have excelled in that area, but they will not consistently win like that. Especially if Smith has to play gunslinger Peyton Manning style, ala the Giants game a few weeks ago.
did anyone else watch a dangerous method? just finished it. kiera knightley annoyed the hell out of me. in the beginning (the part she was still super insane) she was particularly awful i thought. overacting galore (although her russian accent was fantastic). i could never bring the character to reality, all i could see was the actress. it reminded me of a low grade "theatrical" in her first role... trying reallyyyyyyy hard to play the part. fassbender was his typical awesome self... as was mortensen. made her stick out even more imo. the story felt a bit rushed and slapped together. i thought it jumped from one emotion to another without sufficient lead in. it almost seemed like the cliffnotes to a more layered story. otherwise, pretty good. dialogue was sharp. kiera was a distraction throughout, but the dynamic between freud and jung was interesting enough to hold the movie together.
I didn't crown them either but it is basically championship or bust for this team. They've improved from last season even with teams showing them a lot more respect. @lipiti I never saw it but just based on the actors you named i might want to watch it. Why didn't anyone tell me The League is fucking amazing?

Hebrew Names Version (HNV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Yirmeyahu the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying, | 1 While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time: |
2 Thus says the LORD who does it, the LORD who forms it to establish it; the LORD is his name: | 2 "This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it--the LORD is his name: |
3 Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great things, and difficult, which you don't know. | 3 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' |
4 For thus says the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Yehudah, which are broken down [to make a defense] against the mounds and against the sword; | 4 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the houses in this city and the royal palaces of Judah that have been torn down to be used against the siege ramps and the sword |
5 while [men] come to fight with the Kasdim, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city: | 5 in the fight with the Babylonians: 'They will be filled with the dead bodies of the men I will slay in my anger and wrath. I will hide my face from this city because of all its wickedness. |
6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of shalom and truth. | 6 " 'Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. |

Police nab Mafia fugitive who fled through sewer
A Mafia fugitive who narrowly eluded arrest this week by fleeing though a small town's sewer system was captured Wednesday as he scrambled across a rooftop in another daring escape bid, police said.
Associated Press Writer
A Mafia fugitive who narrowly eluded arrest this week by fleeing though a small town's sewer system was captured Wednesday as he scrambled across a rooftop in another daring escape bid, police said.
Investigators say the mobster Giuseppe Setola masterminded a terror spree that has bloodied the Caserta area of southern Italy for several months in a power struggle within the Camorra crime syndicate.
With a reputation as a sharpshooting hit-man, Setola, 38, has been convicted of murder and sentenced in absentia to life in prison. He escaped in the spring from house arrest, which was granted so he could recover from a purported eye problem.
Setola "was trying to escape by rooftop, further proof that he sees very well," Carabinieri paramilitary police Col. Carmelo Burgio told Sky TG24 TV.
On Monday, as dozens of police surrounded his hideout in a town near Caserta, he darted through a trap door fitted in a bedroom floor and, with a few bodyguards, apparently made his way through 1.5 kilometers (about a mile) of a stinking sewer conduit, according to investigators. The sewer layout had obviously been "studied very well" by Setola, Burgio said.
Shortly after the Mafia fugitive eluded police, he resurfaced near a road in the countryside, forced a woman to get out of a car she was driving, took the vehicle and kept going, investigators said.
Setola was arrested Wednesday in the small town of Mignano Monte Lungo, less than 48 hours later. Prosecutors said the house where Setola was captured by police on the roof was adjacent to a clinic.
"We believe Setola had been seeking treatment for wounds suffered during his escape" on Monday in another hamlet, Trentola Ducenta, Naples anti-Mafia Prosecutor Franco Roberti told The Associated Press by telephone.
The ANSA news agency said Setola had suffered a wrist injury in the sewer escape.
Police appeared to have been tipped to Setola's presence in Mignano Monte Lungo.
Burgio said that after being captured Setola asked about his wife, who had been arrested after weapons were found in the house with the trap door.
Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, whose ministry includes police forces, praised Setola's arrest as a "very serious blow to the Camorra."
Police say they believe Setola had carried out some of the 18 or so killings in the countryside and small towns near Caserta last year.
In particular, he is suspected of ordering the gangland-style murders of six Ghanian immigrants. Investigators have theorized the Africans were slain to warn immigrants to stay out of drug trafficking, one of the Camorra's illicit sources of income.
In a past photo of Setola distributed by authorities, he is wearing dark glasses and a white patch over one eye.
Police had said for months that they were closing in on Setola, after arresting several of his purported top lieutenants.
Setola is believed by investigators to have been waging a reign of terror to try to win command of the Casalesi crime clan while rival Francesco Schiavone is in prison.
The crime clan takes its name from Casale di Principe, a Schiavone stronghold.
Camorra crime clans have carved up territory in the Campania region, which includes Naples. They run lucrative rackets ranging from numbers games to drugs and the smuggling of immigrants. Casalesi crime families also profit from the illegal transport of toxic waste, according to a report by a parliamentary anti-Mafia commission.
Earlier on Wednesday, authorities seized property linked to the Setola clan worth millions of euros (dollars), investigators said. It included two apartments being rented to U.S. military forces, said Roberti.

2,000 rainbow trout dumped in Albany waters
ALBANY -- The New York Department of Conservation is stocking Six Mile Waterworks in Albany with nearly 2,000 rainbow trout.
The event kicks off the 2013 fresh water fishing season.
DEC Commissioner Joe Martens announced several free fishing days throughout the spring and summer.
On those days, you do not need a fishing license to drop a line in the water.
"It's a great time to introduce people to the sport to see whether they like fishing. This is just a great day to get people out to fly fishing to promote the activity because it's so important to New York" Martens said.
Six Mile Waterworks has a variety of freshwater fish species including largemouth bass, sunfish, yellow perch, chain pickerel and brown bullhead.
For a list of Free Fishing Days, visit http://www.dec.ny.gov/.

Jessa's youngest sister is 5 yrs old now and the mom and dad were talking about adopting. What are they waiting for now. Never has there been this much of an age gap between children. Maybe they will just enjoy the grand children they are now beginning to have.
Debra Peterson Padgett
It will be great "when" the Seewalds decide to have children. At least it will be on their own terms. If they choose to adopt before having their own that will be great to. This couple seems to have so much love for each other. My only hope is they will raise a child the way they want to raise it. I wish them all the best this world has to offer.

Approximately 3 years ago, I replaced the alternator on my wife's 2002 Mazda Tribute LX (3.0, 6-cyl, 4WD). Sometime after that (a few months), she informed me that at random intervals, all of her gauges (speed, fuel, etc.) would peg out at the top end of the scale, then return to normal. I attributed this to a possible faulty ground, but never did find the problem and it didn't seem to affect her everyday driving, which is somewhere around 500 miles/month.
On her way home from work last week, she called to let me know that her battery light and brake light had come on, her gauges had pegged a couple of times, and that her windows wouldn't work. I told her to shut off all accessories and come directly home, since it was likely she was only operating on battery. She made it home, where I found that the battery was dead. Hoping to avoid the chore of changing the alternator again, I had the battery tested and it had a dead cell. I installed a new battery and she took the car to work the next day. On her way home that evening, her battery light came on again. The next morning, I put a meter on it with the engine running, and found that the alternator wasn't charging. I purchased and installed a lifetime-warranty re-manufactured alternator from NAPA, which tested good at the store.
The following day, I took the care for a 15 minute test drive and had no problems. However, the next time my wife took the car to work, her battery light and brake light came on while driving, and the gauges pegged out several times, again.
The car has a new battery which tests out okay, and a "new" alternator, which also tests out okay (charging above 13v under load). I also ran new ground straps from the negative terminal of the battery to the firewall, and from a stud on the engine to the frame, just to make sure that a loose ground wire wasn't causing the problems. The battery light continues to come on intermittently, and the gauges peg out randomly, as well. I'm stumped, unless it's a "computer" problem (Powertrain Control Module?).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Changing the alternator on this little SUV is a real pain, and I'm not convinced that doing so (again) is going to solve the problem.

If your job requires you to sit for much of the day, sooner or later you may experience pain in your back, neck, shoulder, hands, or wrists.
You can avoid such problems by practicing the following strategies.
These tips can help you prevent stiff muscles:
Take a five-minute stretch break every hour. Stand up and stretch your whole body. Gently shake your hands and wrists.
Occasionally do tasks that you can do while standing, such as filing or returning phone calls.
Exercise to strengthen your upper back and shoulders. Ask a fitness professional or health care provider for specific exercises to strengthen these areas.
Improper posture is a primary cause of back, neck and shoulder pain. To sit more comfortably:
Sit with your back, head and neck in a line perpendicular to the floor. Don't lean or hunch over your desk or keyboard.
Sit in a chair that supports your back at the spine's curve. The seat should incline slightly forward, and the cushion should curve slightly downward to relieve pressure on the thighs.
Keep your back at right angles to the floor and your thighs and forearms parallel to it when you sit.
Position your keyboard at the proper height. It should be at a height that keeps your forearms parallel to the floor while you type.
Keep your shoulders down, not hunched or pulled up toward your head.
Don't drop your head forward. Keep it squarely above your neck and shoulders.
Use a footrest. Raising your feet and legs makes sitting more comfortable, helps relieve pressure on the back and legs and improves circulation.
These tips can help you prevent pain in your hands and wrists:
Keep your wrists flat and in a straight line with your forearms.
Use proper typing techniques. Touch the keys lightly and relax your hands when you pause between keystrokes.
Avoid bending your wrists up and down or stretching your hands from side to side at the wrists. Move your arms to reach for keys at the edge of your keyboard.
Don't push or rest your wrists or forearms against hard desk edges; doing so can compress your nerves and cause or aggravate nerve problems.
Do hand stretches before starting work and during short breaks. Use the hand's own muscles to stretch rather than using the other hand to do the stretching.
Have your keyboard cleaned or fixed if the keys stick.
Keep your mouse within easy reach of the keyboard. Be gentle; don't grasp or tap it forcefully.
Taking a short stretch break every hour or so can relieve muscle tension and increase your productivity and comfort. You can do all of the following stretches in three to five minutes:
Overall body stretch. Get out of your chair, lift your arms above your head, and reach for the sky. Repeat three times.
Shoulder-blade stretch. Clasp your hands together behind your back and pull your shoulder blades together. Repeat three times.
Shoulder rolls. Slowly roll your shoulders five times forward, then five times back.
Head tilts. Slowly and gently tilt your head to the right, to the left and forward. Stop when you feel a stretch. Repeat two more times.
These exercises are simple and fast. With regular practice, they can help reduce the pain you feel from hours of sitting. So give a few of them a try!

The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. Looking at danger of space heaters(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - New information on a deadly house fire in Barry County points the blame in the direction of a space heater placed too near combustible chemicals.This comes just days after two brothers were killed in an Ionia County mobile home fire.Investigators think space heaters could have played a part in that fire as well.Firefighters tell Newschannel 3 that one third of house fires in the wintertime are caused by space heaters."Space heaters should only be used for comfort when they can be attended to. They should never be left running by themselves. They should be unplugged when they're not being used," said Captain Chip Everett, with the Oshtemo Township Fire Department. "The big thing is to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the particular heater you have."Firefighters also stress that you should make sure you have working smoke alarms.
