Are your pet's items on the high
toxin list?
any popular dog and cat items - like
bowls, collars, leashes, beds,
chew and tug toys and tennis balls - contain high levels of toxic chemicals that may be putting your pet at risk of l
iver, kidney and brain damage as well as cancer
, an environmental research organization warns.
Nearly half the 400 toys and products tested had detectable levels of lead, polyvinyl chloride (PVCs) or bromine flame retardants, according to the Ecology Center of Michigan.

A book about a rescue dog
that will touch your heart

Joseph A. Reppucci,

"These chemical hazards are as real for pets as they are for humans," Jeff Gearhart, the center's research director, states in a media release. "While there are some protections in place for children, there is no regulatory system in place to protect our pets from these hazards."
Pets are smaller than humans, making them extremely vulnerable to toxic chemical exposure because they only need to ingest small amounts of contaminated dust to be affected, the Ecology Center says.
"Pets are involuntary canaries in the coal mine in terms of chemical exposure," Mr. Gearhart said. "Pets, like children, have higher exposure to chemical hazards and our data shows pet products are far more likely to have hazardous chemicals than children�s toys."
The Ecology Center says 45 percent of the pet products that it tested had detectable levels of one or more hazardous chemicals. Researchers found:
25 percent had detectable levels of lead.
7 percent had lead levels greater than the 300 parts per million standard for lead in children�s products set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Nearly 50 percent of pet collars had detectable levels of lead and 27 percent exceeded 300 ppm.
48 percent of tennis balls tested had detectable levels of lead. Tennis balls intended for pets were much more likely to contain lead while sports tennis balls contained no lead.
Experts at the Ecology Center used a portable X-ray fluorescence device, which identifies the elemental composition of any material, to sample the pet products. Chemicals of primary concern include bromine, which is associated with flame retardants; chlorine, which indicates the presence of polyvinyl chloride or PVC; lead and heavy metals.
According to the Ecology Center, levels of bromine flame retardants in cats are up to 23 times higher than humans. Some bromine flame retardants have been associated with thyroid problems, learning and memory impairment, decreased fertility, behavioral changes and other health problems.
Lead exposure and poisoning in pets is common and can be an indicator of lead hazards in homes and products, the Ecology Center says. Exposure to lead, which is sometimes used as an additive in plastics, can lead to brain damage, and problems with kidneys, blood, nerves and the reproductive system. It can also cause learning and behavioral problems.
�Parents, including parents of furry, four-legged kids, shouldn�t have to worry whether the toys they buy are harmful,� Ivy Sager-Rosenthal, campaign director with the Washington Toxics Coalition, states in a media release. �People are sick and tired of hearing about toxic toys, toxic chew toys, toxic chemicals in their products. We need a better system of laws that doesn�t require people to be chemists before they buy something.�
The Toxic Substances Control Act, the federal law which regulates chemicals, is in need of reform, Ms. Sager-Rosenthal said. �It shouldn�t be the responsibility of public health advocates to test consumer products for basic safety information. Manufacturers of these products need to step up and replace dangerous substances with safer alternatives and legislators must enact laws to ensure harmful chemicals are not allowed in products.�
According to the
Ecology Center, t
he following products, listed on healthystuff.org, are those that had the highest levels of chemicals:
High Level of Detection
Cinopelca brown dog collar; Coleman Classic rectangular dog bed (small 18 by 24 inches; Coolaroo Pet Medium Bed; Hot Dogs blue multi-bones collar, Hot Dogs dark pink multi-flowers collar, Hot Dogs red skulls collar, Hot Dogs puppy flowers collar, Hot Dogs puppy paws collar, Nap Pet Kennel Bed (19 by 12 inches green); Penn-Plax Purr Pet Wiggle Wand toy for cats; Pet Supplies Plus tennis ball; Play N Squeak "Batting Practice" toy for cats; Play N Squeak "Twice the Mice" toy for cats; Purple Painted charm dog collar; Ringer Zinger Ring chew toy/tug; Spot Party Animal 6-inch dog dish; SS Ortho Care fleece top for 40 by 30-inch pet bed.

Prom request worth a shot: You can either sink or swim

The Seattle Times
Danielle Jennette, a swimmer at Kings Fork High School in Suffolk, Va., has asked Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte to be her prom date, but no answer yet.
If he says yes, here's betting they carpool.
NFL headlines
• At SportsPickle.com: "Adrian Peterson falls 903 yards short of 3,000."
• At Fark.com: "Much like Jay Cutler, Lovie Smith has been sacked."
Tag-team teachers
Twin sisters Lucy and Kelly Knott, 24, of Stockport, England, are teaching assistants by day and pro rasslers by night.
Classroom discipline probably isn't a problem.
Hooked that one
NASA's Kepler Telescope discovered two mysterious objects more than 65,000 light years from Earth.
Alas, just a couple of Gerald Ford's errant tee shots.
Not bowled over
"This season's bloated roster of 70 bowl-ing schools includes 15 teams with five losses, 14 with six losses and two — Georgia Tech and Duke — with seven," noted Greg Cote of the Miami Herald. "(New rule: If Duke is in a bowl, there is one too many bowl games.)
"The math, therefore, says that 31 of 70 bowl teams, almost half, had seasons that would get the coach's house egged in any self-respecting college town."
Double digits
Philadelphia's Andy Reid was among seven NFL coaches fired Monday, and the locals seem to approve his departure.
At least, all the hardcore Eagles fans gave it two fingers up.
Quote marks
• Florida football coach Will Muschamp, to the Orlando Sentinel, on the importance of making his team bigger and tougher: "You don't pay money to see the featherweights. You pay to see the heavyweights."
• Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, to TSN, on why teammate Jeff Saturday is the perfect center: "Low sweat ratio and solid butt height."
• Comedy writer Alan Ray, after the 2-14 Jacksonville Jaguars fired GM Gene Smith: "To make sure the players were nowhere to be found, the announcement took place in the end zone."
• Ole Miss QB recruit Devante Kincade of Dallas, to USA Today, on what it feels like to throw an interception: "Think about how embarrassing it would be to get your girlfriend taken."
Or Chuck Roast
Enterprising restaurateurs in Philadelphia, no doubt, are pushing for Jon Gruden to be the next Eagles coach.
Chucky Cheesesteaks, anyone?

American Experience
Miss America (#1405)
Tracking the country's oldest beauty contest -- from its inception in 1921 as a local seaside pageant to its heyday as one of the country's most popular events -- this program paints a picture of an institution that has come to reveal much about a changing nation. The pageant itself is about commercialism and sexual politics, about big business and small towns. But beyond the symbolism lies a human story -- at once moving, inspiring, infuriating, funny and poignant. Using interviews with former contestants and behind-the-scenes footage and photographs, the film reveals why some women took part in the fledgling event and why others shunned it -- how the pageant became a battleground and a barometer of the changing position of women in society.

US 7909857 B2 Abstract The present application discloses methods for treating a spinal deformity. In one embodiment, an elongated member is attached to vertebral members with fasteners. A separate fastener may attach the elongated member to each of the vertebral members. The elongated member may apply a force to limit growth on one side of the vertebral members, such as a convex side of a scoliotic spine. Each fastener may be constructed to limit a direction of growth of the vertebral member thereby applying a specific, corrective force to the vertebral member. The fasteners may allow relative motion between adjacent vertebral members without losing the attachment between the vertebral members and the fasteners. The net result may be controlled modulation of growth to reduce and/or eliminate the spinal deformity through redirection of growth potential.
Claims(6) 1. A method of treating a spinal deformity comprising:
attaching a first fastener to a first vertebral member, the first fastener including a first anchor, a first receptacle, and a first connection that movably connects the first receptacle to the first anchor for the first receptacle to move relative to the first anchor within a first range of motion;
attaching a second fastener to a second vertebral member, the second fastener including a second anchor, a second receptacle, and a second connection that movably connects the second receptacle to the second anchor for the second receptacle to move relative to the second anchor within a second range of motion, the second range of motion being smaller than the first range of motion, the second connection being different than the first connection;
positioning an elongated member within the receptacles of the first and second fasteners, the elongated member including a first section with a first structural characteristic and stiffness that extends through the first receptacle and along the first vertebral member and a second section with a different structural characteristic and different stiffness that extends through the second receptacle and along the second vertebral member;
during growth of the vertebral members, causing the first fastener to limit movement of the first vertebral member from growing and applying a first corrective force to the first vertebral member and causing the second fastener to limit movement of the second vertebral member from growing and applying a second corrective force to the second vertebral member, the second corrective force being different than the first corrective force.

Description The present application is directed to methods for correcting spinal deformities and, more particularly, to methods that apply a corrective force to one or more of the vertebral members. The spine is divided into four regions comprising the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacrococcygeal regions. The cervical region includes the top seven vertebral members identified as C1-C7. The thoracic region includes the next twelve vertebral members identified as T1-T12. The lumbar region includes five vertebral members L1-L5. The sacrococcygeal region includes nine fused vertebral members that form the sacrum and the coccyx. The vertebral members of the spine are aligned in a curved configuration that includes a cervical curve, thoracic curve, and lumbosacral curve. Intervertebral discs are positioned between the vertebral members and permit flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation. Various deformities may affect the normal alignment and curvature of the vertebral members. Scoliosis is one example of a deformity of the spine in the coronal plane, in the form of an abnormal curvature. While a normal spine presents essentially a straight line in the coronal plane, a scoliotic spine can present various lateral curvatures in the coronal plane. The types of scoliotic deformities include thoracic, thoracolumbar, lumbar or can constitute a double curve in both the thoracic and lumbar regions. Schuermann's kyphosis is another example of a spinal deformity that affects the normal alignment of the vertebral members. The present application discloses methods for treating a spinal deformity. In one embodiment, an elongated member is attached to vertebral members with fasteners. A separate fastener may attach the elongated member to each of the vertebral members. The elongated member may apply a force to limit growth on one side of the vertebral members, such as a convex side of a scoliotic spine. Each fastener may be constructed to limit a direction of growth of the vertebral member thereby applying a specific, corrective force to the vertebral member. The fasteners may allow relative motion between adjacent vertebral members without losing the attachment between the vertebral members and the fasteners. The net result may be controlled modulation of growth to reduce and/or eliminate the spinal deformity through redirection of growth potential. The present application is directed to the use of multiple fasteners in combination with an elongated member to modulate growth in patients with a spinal deformity. The elongated member and fasteners provide relative motion between adjacent vertebral members without losing the attachment between the vertebral members and the fasteners. The device may redirect the inherent growth of the patient to reduce and/or eliminate the spinal deformity. Various types of fasteners 20 may be used to connect the elongated member 30 to the vertebral members 90. In one embodiment, member 30 is substantially solid as illustrated in The elongated member 30 may be constructed from a variety of surgical grade materials. These include metals such as stainless steels, cobalt-chrome, titanium, and shape memory alloys. Non-metallic rods, including polymer rods made from materials such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and UHMWPE, are also contemplated. The structural characteristics of the member 30 provide vertebral bending in one or more directions, and prevent or limit bending in other directions. Using the example of In general, an object's moment of inertia depends on its shape and the distribution of mass within that shape. The greater the concentration of material away from the object's centroid, the larger the moment of inertia. The centroid may be the center of mass for the shape assuming the material is uniform over the cross section. Using the embodiment of Each fastener 20 is constructed to limit the movement of the vertebral member 90 to which it is attached in some manner. This limiting provides for the fastener 20 to redirect and guide the force applied to the vertebral member 90 from the elongated member 30 during spinal growth to reduce and/or eliminate the deformity. In the embodiment of The method may include a surgeon determining the specific corrective forces that are necessary to treat each of the individual vertebral members 90. This determination includes the type of fastener 20 that is attached to each vertebral member 90. Further, the orientation and positioning of each of the fasteners 20 on each vertebral member 90 should be determined. The determination may also include the type and orientation of the elongated member 30. In one embodiment, a different fastener 20 is attached to each different vertebral member 90. In another embodiment, the same type of fastener 20 may be attached to two or more different vertebral members 90. Using In one embodiment, the elongated member 30 includes substantially constant stiffness properties along the length. In another embodiment, elongated member 30 includes two or more sections with different stiffness properties. The different properties may be caused by the material properties and shape of the member 30. The above disclosure deals specifically with the broad range of device concepts envisioned for fusionless tethering of deformities in order to achieve permanent correction. The specifics with regard to the method are similarly broad. A wide range of spinal deformities could be managed. The primary indications will be progressive idiopathic scoliosis with or without sagittal deformity in either infantile or juvenile patients. The preferred patient population upon which to practice the present invention is prepubescent children (before growth spurt) less than ten years old. Other patient groups upon which the present invention may be practiced include adolescents from 10-12 years old with continued growth potential. It should be understood that fusionless tethering may be used on older children whose growth spurt is late or who otherwise retain growth potential. It should be further understood that fusionless tethering may also find use in preventing or minimizing curve progression in individuals of various ages. Generally, in the case of scoliosis, tethering will take place on the convex side of the curve. An anterior, minimally invasive (thoracoscopic) procedure can be carried out on the convex side of the spinal curve in order to prevent continued growth on that side of the curve. As the pre-growth spurt child approaches puberty, the untethered side of the spine will grow unconstrained, ultimately eliminating the curvature of the spine in the frontal plane. It is preferable to deliver this method of treatment in a minimally invasive approach using thoracoscopic instrumentation. It is contemplated as within the scope of the invention, however, that open use of these systems may be appropriate in some cases. It is further contemplated as within the scope of the invention that the procedure may be posterior as well as anterior, or some combination of both. Finally, it should be understood that if the procedure fails to correct the curve but does, in fact, prevent further progression (which includes increase in the magnitude of the curve) it can and should be considered successful. It should be understood that the spinal deformity depicted in The devices and methods may be used to treat spinal deformities in the coronal plane, such as a scoliotic spine illustrated in In one embodiment, the elongated member 30 is attached to a convex side of the vertebral members 90. However, elongated member 30 may be attached at different positions on the vertebral members 90. One embodiment includes accessing the spine from an anterior approach. Other applications contemplate other approaches, including posterior, postero-lateral, antero-lateral and lateral approaches to the spine, and accessing various regions of the spine, including the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and/or sacral regions. Spatially relative terms such as �under�, �below�, �lower�, �over�, �upper�, and the like, are used for ease of description to explain the positioning of one element relative to a second element. These terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to different orientations than those depicted in the figures. Further, terms such as �first�, �second�, and the like, are also used to describe various elements, regions, sections, etc and are also not intended to be limiting. Like terms refer to like elements throughout the description. As used herein, the terms �having�, �containing�, �including�, �comprising� and the like are open ended terms that indicate the presence of stated elements or features, but do not preclude additional elements or features. The articles �a�, �an� and �the� are intended to include the plural as well as the singular, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The present invention may be carried out in other specific ways than those herein set forth without departing from the scope and essential characteristics of the invention. The elongated member 20 may apply a force to arrest or minimize growth of the convex side 90 b of the vertebral members 90, or alternatively, to simply prevent further deformity of the spine. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all changes coming within the meaning and equivalency range of the appended claims are intended to be embraced therein.

A beautifully fragrant spice that is used to make gin, so think of gin and you've got juniper. The berries are purple-black, slightly wrinkled and grown wild in hill country. They ripen in autumn, so perhaps that is why juniper is often served with game and pork, wild boar and other autumnal recipes.
It is quite pungent and a little goes a long way. When you place them in a mortar and begin to crush them, their deep fragrance and the anticipation of their flavour cannot fail to please.
Rillettes of Duck with Confit of Cranberries
This is one of my favourite starters: a terrine of tiny shreds of tender, succulent duck melded together like a pâté, then served with the dazzling depth of colour and sharpness of a confit of cranberries to counteract the richness.
Terrine of Venison with Juniper and Pistachio Nuts and Cranberry and Orange Compote
This is just about the easiest terrine in the world to make because you can buy the venison and the pork ready minced. The result is a lovely, rough country pâté and the sharpness of the cranberries is the perfect accompaniment.
Spiced Cranberry and Claret Jelly
Subtly spiced, this wonderful jelly will give you a taste of Christmas all year round with roast meats, game, cheese or pate.
Braised Pork with Prunes
Wintry comfort food at its best - this French classic feature pork, prunes, apples and spices with a crisp potato topping. All you need to serve it with is some seasonal greens or winter carrots.
Pheasant Terrine
This very rich terrine is a wonderful, prepare-ahead starter or component of a buffet spread. Alternatively serve it with pickles and good bread for a lunchtime feast.

I have very similar cabinet color in my kitchen. I ended up painting my walls "Butter" (yellow). It is a Lowes color -- their American Signature, Waverly. The trim is in a Pale Ivory - Lowe's American Signature, Waverly. I love the way it looks with the cabinets and get many compliments. |
- Posted by lukkiirish (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 9:19
We have similar colored cabinets too, and like dk4mich did our kitchen in yellow as well. I wanted a warm and vibrant sunflower(ish) yellow and Ralph Lauren Finch Gold did the trick. |
I have similiar wood tones in my KIT, BR and FR, maybe more caramel than yours. I tried to go yellow and tried SW White Raisin. Looked terrible. Ended up using SW Grasslands. |
- Posted by newhomebuilder (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 10:00
What color is your countertop? dk4mich and lukkiirish - Do you have photos? My daughter and new son-in-law have similar honey cabinets and they are trying to decide on a color that goes with their dark green counter top. boysrus2 - Your cabinets appear to be darker than the OP's. I like your choice of color. :) |
- Posted by mistybear11 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 10:39
If you want something different. My walls are dark in colour and I have a lot of honey coloured wood. This isn't a favourite of many but it works for me. |
I'm at the same point. I have the oak cabnets and my granite is smilar to boysrus. I have no idea what color to use. not sure if I want yellow. So, I'd love to see more pictures. thanks for starting this post jennifer |
- Posted by beekeeperswife (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 11:17
I think blues, grays & greens in all their variations & combinations work really well with golden oak. Here is BM Paladian Blue: And here's a composite shot showing the new Olive paint in the foyer & the golden oak bannister. Frankly, I think the Olive would have been better if it had been a shade yellower. |
Greens look really good with honey oak. I also like medium toned beiges with oak. |
- Posted by jenniferdoc (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 13:15
thanks to you all...the photos are especially helpful! to answer the question, my countertops are white. |
What is the floor like? That could dictate the wall color. |
We did BM Monroe Bisque walls and off-the-shelf-white trim for my previous house when we put it up for sale in '07 (these are from the listing photos, which is why the room is so stripped of accessories). My camera was old then and skewed/skews a bit pink - the Monroe Bisque couldn't have gotten any "neutraller", it's neither as pinkish nor as yellow as it may look in these photos. Not to my personal taste but it did get a lot of compliments. Originally the trim matched the cabinets. |
- Posted by lukkiirish (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 15:30
Here's a couple of pictures, we're still a work in progress, and the lighting isn't the best, these are the best I have. It has a nice glow in the morning sun and if you like Sunflowers, it's a perfect match. LOL |
Our kitchen cabinets are similar colored but maple, we have SW Clary Sage and I'm loving it, also got lot of compliments from friends and family. Sorry dont have a pic handy at this moment to show. |
- Posted by momto4boys (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 15:52
We have BM Lenox Tan. But, in our case..I dislike the oak a LOT. And can't wait to paint the cabs. We tried red for awhile. I loved the walls, but hated what it did for the cabinets. Which was NOTHING. I've seen some really pretty greens and blues with oak. |
- Posted by kellyjb-1730 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 17:30
I think we have the exact same cabinets. Right now my kitchen (and the whole house really) is builder beige. Wondering if Baby Turtle would look good with the oak? |
- Posted by lukkiirish (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 17:37
Kelly, I can't say that I've seen BM Baby Turtle in an oak kitchen before but I haven't seen an oak/green combination I haven't liked yet. The two go together very well. |
Olive greens go great with oak--olive branch BM comes to mind. I think Baby Turtle (great color!) would also look super. A friend of mine did a warm brown with her oak cabinets and it looks great also. A lot will depend on your counters and floors... |
Here's a thread from a while back with similar situation, see what suggestions she got! Red |
Here is a link that might be useful: Oak cabinets and greens
- Posted by jenniferdoc (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 21:25
loving all the suggestions!! THANKS!! I'm new to the forum, does Baby Turtle have some kind of addictive quality? it seems to be ALL the rage :) |
BM grey owl with white dove trim is my vote. it is a soft pale grey with a green undertone. |
jenniferdoc, just wanted to make sure you saw this thread. Not sure how you feel about cool colors, but I think the results are terrific: |
Here is a link that might be useful: credomk's golden oak trim and new wall colors
Jenn Not sure if this was suggested yet, but - I would def consider something in the terra cotta/orange family - honey oak has orange undertones. here's a nice color not sure what the brand/name is I would paint the crown & base white & chair rail same as wall color unless you are applying beadboard - so as to not break the wall up. ANother nice hue by Devine pain This would make the cabinets not stand out & be a focal point rather be a little subdued - See how the wood is blending w/paint color in the "happy family" pic Link to My3dogs, very talented decorator on GW - don't know if the color works for you application Find your colors - get sample paints - paint either directly on the wall LARGE 10 x14 or so, near cabinetry in several places - look at it in different lighting/times of day photo it - you'll get lots more help best to you |
Here's Baby Turtle in our guest room, with golden oak woodwork. Here's another picture, showing how different the paint can look from a different angle: I'd say the true color is somewhere between the two. :-) |
I also have white countertops. They are actually Corian, but I can't remember the name -- they are white with specs of gray. I can't find a picture on my computer, but I will take one tomorrow and try to get it posted. FYI, my adjoining Family Room is painted in Behr's Dried Chervil (sp?). It is green and compliments the yellow very nicely. |

Sir Charles Sedley
Biography of Sir Charles Sedley
English wit and dramatist, was born about 1639, and was the son of Sir John Sedley of Aylesford in Kent. He was educated at Wadham College, Oxford, but left without taking a degree.
He was member of parliament for New Romney in Kent, and took an active and useful part in politics.
Sedley is famous as a patron of literature in the Restoration period. Famous for his wit, he was a member of the intimate circle of young rakes at the court of Charles II.
As a writer, he gained a deserved reputation alike for the clearness and ease of his prose and for a certain poetic gift, more appreciable in his occasional lyrics than in the serious parts of his dramas.
He wrote several plays, his first comedy, written in 1668, The Mulberry Garden is based, in part, on Molière's L'École des Maris and is written in that mixture of prose and heroic couplets which Etherege introduced in his Comical Revenge. Bellamira or The Mistress written in 1687 a licentous comedy is supposedly his best which, though founded on the Eunuchus of Terence, presents a lively, if coarsely realistic, picture of the reckless pursuit of pleasure of Sedley's day.
He has written two tragedies Antony and Cleopatra (1667) and The Tyrant King of Crete (1702). He also produced a play The Grumbler (1702), an adaptation of Le Grondeur of Brueys and Palaprat. He also wrote amorous lyrics.
Phyllis is my only joy, his famous song is widely known.

Phyllis Is My Only Joy
Phyllis is my only joy,
Faithless as the winds or seas;
Sometimes coming, sometimes coy,
Yet she never fails to please;
If with a frown
I am cast down,
Phyllis smiling,
And beguiling,
Makes me happier than before.

Those working in Hanover County's court system had something to be thankful for last week as all seven Hanover supervisors agreed to proceed with building a new courts facility when they met shortly before the holiday.
Tuesday, Nov. 26, the board OK'd appropriating $44 million to fund the courthouse plan shelved several years ago because of a lack of funding. The 108,000 square-foot building will replace the county's two, separate circa-1976 courthouses and could be operational by 2017.
According to John Budesky, deputy county administrator, driving the need to build a new facility are overcrowding of office and record-keeping space, issues complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and security challenges. Those problems exist alongside issues that accompany a 37-year-old facility, such as an HVAC system that's nearing the end of its lifespan.
"It's certainly a large-ticket project for us, but it is our top need identified as far as additional space needs," Budesky said.
During the public hearing, several citizens weighed in on the project, citing concerns over the process and worries that the courthouse will take away funding for other capital needs in the county. Some argued that citizens should have been allowed to vote for the project in a bond referendum, an opportunity Hanoverians have been afforded with previous big-ticket capital expenses.
The need for a new courthouse emerged from a 2006 study that identified space constraints. The county has invested approximately $1 million in the design phase to date. County officials originally anticipated breaking ground on the facility in 2010, but construction was halted because of concerns over financing and the troubled economy.
The facility will house the commonwealth's attorney's office, court clerks and other related staff, and will include two dedicated courtrooms each for Circuit, General District and Juvenile and Domestic Relations courts.
As planned, the facility would also include about 9,200 square-feet of "shell space" to allow room for future expansion if needed.
"We want to make sure that we're not building a facility that's immediately out of space upon construction," Budesky said.
The complex will be located adjacent to and behind the existing sheriff's office in the county government complex off of Route 301 in Hanover Courthouse.
The county plans to pay for the project over two separate borrowings, adding the courthouse facility to Hanover's existing debt service without asking for a tax increase from Hanover citizens.
This is made possible as the county's existing debt is paid off, creating borrowing capacity that is still within Hanover's established policies for taking on debt.
The first borrowing of $22 million would come in the spring and the county would borrow the same amount in the spring of 2016. Funding would come from either the Virginia Resources Authority or the Economic Development Authority.
The current construction and interest rate climates are favorable, Budesky said, and staff will look for ways to cut down on the facility's estimated $44 million price tag as it revisits plans and readies the project for the bid phase.
According to the current timeline, construction would kick off in May 2016 and the building would be ready for use by April 2017.
Major renovations will be required to re-purpose the two courthouses for other county functions. Planning for those buildings' future uses would begin in 2015 under the county's proposed timeline and they would be fully renovated by the spring of 2018.

Schiaparelli and Prada Met 2012 Exhibit Pictures
Inside the Costume Institute's Schiaparelli and Prada Exhibit
Let's talk about fashion: that's the premise of this year's Costume Institute exhibit, titled Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.
Through a series of videos directed by Baz Luhrmann, the exhibit — which was inspired by a series of Vanity Fair articles from the '30s — imagines Miuccia Prada and the late Elsa Schiaparelli (played by Australian actress Judy Davis) discussing their respective approaches to dressing women. Against this backdrop are clothing and accessories from each designer, arranged almost as if in conversation, too: In one gallery called "Waist Up, Waist Down," Prada's skirts are shown next to Schiaparelli's jackets. "To me the waist up is more spiritual, more intellectual, while the waist down is more basic, more grounded," Prada says in the coordinating video. "It's about sex. It's about making love. It's about life. It's about giving birth."
Other conversations include themes like "Hard Chic," which looks at the influence of menswear and military uniforms, and "The Surreal Body," which examines pieces like Schiaparelli's famous lobster dress and Prada's Fall 2011 skirts and shirts that are covered in large sequins resembling fish scales.
Prada told The New York Times that while she's never directly been inspired by Schiaparelli, she now understands "there actually were some similarities. But it is other people's vision."
Fashion's biggest names will get a first look at the exhibit tonight during the Met Gala, and the exhibit itself will open to the public on May 10 and close Aug. 19. For now, a sneak peek at the exhibit in the gallery.

Nixon Unit Watch - Men's
Solid Watch
The watch is very good for on the go. At first I was worried that the wristband was a cheap plastic but it turned out to be pretty solid. The temperature reading is always a little off (8 degress or so) but it doesn't bother me that much. Definitely recommend it to anyone needing a watch for everyday use.

Is it more or less than that same mp3 downloaded from iTunes? I'm wondering because I am considering dumping my iTunes collection off my iPhone to replace it with synced items from Rdio.
Hi Mimglow,
Yup - a Synced song should take up about the same amount of space that an mp3 stored elsewhere would.
another question for you, Madelyn (since you seem so helpful) - how does the space on my iPhone that is taken up by Rdio sync'd tracks show up when looking at my iPhone Summary in iTunes? Not as Audio, I'd think because that's strictly in the native iPod app, right? So does Rdio sync music show up as "Apps"?
Hi Joe,
Synced Rdio tracks will show up in combination with what the Rdio app itself is taking up on your phone (if you connect with iTunes on your computer, you can view this information directly).
This question has received the maximum number of answers.

During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor, Mother Teresa became an icon of compassion to people of all religions. This collection of her writings and reflections, almost all of which have never been made public before, sheds light on Mother Teresa's interior life in a way that reveals the depth and intensity of her holiness for the first time."

If you have used bash for any scripting, you've used the date command alot. It's perfect for using as a way to create filename's dynamically within aliases,functions, and commands like below.. This is actually an update to my first alias, since a few commenters (below) had good observations on what was wrong with my first command.
# creating a date-based ssh-key for askapache.github.com
ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/`date +git-$USER@$HOSTNAME-%m-%d-%g` -C 'email@example.com'
# /firstname.lastname@example.com
# create a tar+gzip backup of the current directory
tar -czf $(date +$HOME/.backups/%m-%d-%g-%R-`sed -u 's/\//#/g' <<< $PWD`.tgz) .
# tar -czf /home/gpl/.backups/04-22-10-01:13-#home#gpl#.rr#src.tgz .
I personally find myself having to reference
date --help
quite a bit as a result. So this nice alias saves me a lot of time. This is one bdash mofo. Works in sh and bash (posix), but will likely need to be changed for other shells due to the parameter substitution going on.. Just extend the sed command, I prefer sed to pretty much everything anyways.. but it's always preferable to put in the extra effort to go for as much builtin use as you can. Otherwise it's not a top one-liner, it's a lazyboy recliner.
Here's the old version:
alias dateh='date --help|sed "/^ *%%/,/^ *%Z/!d;s/ \+/ /g"|while read l;do date "+ %${l/% */}_${l/% */}_${l#* }";done|column -s_ -t'
This trick from my [ http://www.askapache.com/linux-unix/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html bash_profile ]
cat mod_log_config.c | shmore
shmore < mod_log_config.c
Most pagers like less, more, most, and others require additional processes to be loaded, additional cpu time used, and if that wasn't bad enough, most of them modify the output in ways that can be undesirable.
What I wanted was a "more" pager that was basically the same as running:
cat file
Without modifying the output and without additional processes being created, cpu used, etc. Normally if you want to scroll the output of cat file without modifying the output I would have to scroll back my terminal or screen buffer because less modifies the output.
After looking over many examples ranging from builtin cat functions created for csh, zsh, ksh, sh, and bash from the 80's, 90s, and more recent examples shipped with bash 4, and after much trial and error, I finally came up with something that satisifed my objective. It automatically adjusts to the size of your terminal window by using the LINES variable (or 80 lines if that is empty) so
This is a great function that will work as long as your shell works, so it will work just find if you are booted in single user mode and your /usr/bin directory is missing (where less and other pagers can be). Using builtins like this is fantastic and is comparable to how busybox works, as long as your shell works this will work.
One caveat/note: I always have access to a color terminal, and I always setup both the termcap and the terminfo packages for color terminals (and/or ncurses and slang), so for that reason I stuck the
tput setab 4; tput setaf 7
command at the beginning of the function, so it only runs 1 time, and that causes the -- SHMore -- prompt to have a blue background and bright white text.
This is one of hundreds of functions I have in my http://www.askapache.com/linux-unix/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html">.bash_profile at http://www.askapache.com/">AskApache.com, but actually won't be included till the next update.
If you can improve this in any way at all please let me know, I would be very grateful! ( Like one thing I want is to be able to continue to the next screen by pressing any key instead of now having to press enter to continue)
Change the APP variable's value to whatever you want to install. Depending on how fast your machine is, you'll want to adjust the value 50 to something else. You might also want to play a different game than Gnometris - just make sure it's a GUI game.
the last person who posted used the most roundabout way to concatinate files, there's a reason there's a "conCATinate" command... Using this method, you also get to choose the order of the files, below another person just did *.txt > combined.txt which is fine but the order depends on the implementation of "cat" which is probably alphabetical order of filenames.
Press > or < to go to the next or previous track. Space to toggle play/pause, etc.
It creates a temp file descriptor. To see where the file descriptor gets created type: echo <(echo foo)
This works better than running find first, then piping to mplayer with xargs or something, because that won't let you use keyboard shortcuts.
Run the alias command, then issue
ps aux | head
and resize your terminal window (putty/console/hyperterm/xterm/etc) then issue the same command and you'll understand.
${LINES:-`tput lines 2>/dev/null||echo -n 12`}
Insructs the shell that if LINES is not set or null to use the output from `tput lines` ( ncurses based terminal access ) to get the number of lines in your terminal. But furthermore, in case that doesn't work either, it will default to using the deafault of 12 (-2 = 10).
The default for HEAD is to output the first 10 lines, this alias changes the default to output the first x lines instead, where x is the number of lines currently displayed on your terminal - 2. The -2 is there so that the top line displayed is the command you ran that used HEAD, ie the prompt.
Depending on whether your PS1 and/or PROMPT_COMMAND output more than 1 line (mine is 3) you will want to increase from -2. So with my prompt being the following, I need -7, or - 5 if I only want to display the commandline at the top. ( http://www.askapache.com/linux-unix/bash-power-prompt.html )
[7995:7993 - 0:186] 06:26:49 Thu Apr 08 [askapache@n1-backbone5:/dev/pts/0 +1] ~
In most shells the LINES variable is created automatically at login and updated when the terminal is resized (28 linux, 23/20 others for SIGWINCH) to contain the number of vertical lines that can fit in your terminal window. Because the alias doesn't hard-code the current LINES but relys on the $LINES variable, this is a dynamic alias that will always work on a tty device.
hb(){ sed "s/\($*\)/`tput setaf 2;tput setab 0;tput blink`\1`tput sgr0`/gI"; }
hb blinks, hc does a reverse color with background.. both very nice.
hc(){ sed "s/\($*\)/`tput setaf 0;tput setab 6`\1`tput sgr0`/gI"; }
Run this:
command ps -Hacl -F S -A f | hc ".*$PPID.*" | hb ".*$$.*"

Though without infinite time and knowledge of how the site will be designed in the future this may stop working, it still will serve as a simple straight forward starting point.
This uses the observation that the only item marked as strong on the page is the single logical line that includes the italicized fact.
If future revisions of the page show failure, or intermittent failure, one may simply alter the above to read.

Thanks for the submit! My alternative produces summaries only for directories. The original post additionally lists all files in the current directory. Sometimes the files, they just clutter up the output. Once the big directory is located, *then* worry about which file(s) are consuming so much space.
Really bored during class so I made this...
Basically, you hold period (or whatever) and hit enter after a second and you need to make the next line of periods the same length as the previous line...
My record was 5 lines of the same length.
It's best if you do it one handed with your pointer on period and ring on enter.
While it seems (to me at least) a little counter-intuitive to filter on name first, this requires less work for find, as it allows it to immediately discount any files that do not match the name directly from the directory listing on disk. Querying against file attributes requires reading the file attributes, which is performed for all files matching any name based predicates.
Use color escape sequences and sed to colorize the output of svn stat -u.

sorts the files by integer megabytes, which should be enough to (interactively) find the space wasters. Now you can
for the above output,
dush -n 3
for only the 3 biggest files and so on. It's always a good idea to have this line in your .profile or .bashrc

Looking for movie tickets? Enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing Black Beauty near you.
The fourth screen adaptation of Anna Sewell's classic novel is, in some ways, the most faithful and accomplished. Screenwriter and director Caroline Thompson recounts the life of Black Beauty, an aging, handsome stallion living in Victorian England. The film is narrated by Alan Cumming as the voice of Black Beauty, who spends a happy childhood on a rambling country estate before being ravaged by illness and surviving a horrible stable fire. However, the worst is yet to come as Black Beauty's new owners subject him to life as a horse for rent and, later, as a taxi puller in working-class London, before he can retire in peace. The original novel was written to draw attention to the cruel treatment of animals in 1877 England, and the issue's continued relevance today adds poignancy and gravity to this affecting tale. The film is episodic, as was the book, and the topic is handled with sensitivity and care. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

U.S. Edition
By Barbara Starr
Two Iranian Su-25 fighter jets fired on an unarmed U.S. Air Force Predator drone in the Persian Gulf on November 1, the Pentagon disclosed on Thursday.
The incident, reported first by CNN, raised fresh concerns within the Obama administration about Iranian military aggression in crucial Gulf oil shipping lanes.
The drone was on routine maritime surveillance in international airspace east of Kuwait, 16 miles off the coast of Iran, U.S. officials said. The Predator was not hit.
Also: U.S. adds to Iran sanctions
"Our aircraft was never in Iranian airspace. It was always flying in international air space. The recognized limit is 12 nautical miles off the coast and we never entered the 12 nautical mile limit," Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said in responding to questions from reporters after CNN reported the incident.
Little said the United States believed this was the first time an unmanned aircraft was shot at by the Iranians in international waters over the Gulf. In December of 2011, a U.S. surveillance drone crashed in eastern Iran. Iranians claimed to have shot it down, and created a toy model of the drone to celebrate its capture.
Little stopped short of calling the incident an act of war although the Pentagon was concerned.
Also: Obama faces world of challenges in second terms
Two U.S. officials explained the jets were part of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps force, which has been more confrontational than regular Iranian military forces.
At least two bursts of gunfire came from the Su-25s' cannons. The drone started to move away but the Iranian aircraft chased it, doing aerial loops around it before breaking away and returning to Iran.
The Obama administration did not disclose the incident before the presidential election, but three senior officials confirmed the details to CNN on Thursday. They declined to be identified because of sensitive intelligence matters surrounding the matter.
The drone's still and video cameras captured the incident showing two Su-25s approaching the Predator and firing onboard guns.
The Iranian pilots continued to fire shots that went beneath the Predator but were never successful in hitting it, according to the officials.
U.S. military intelligence analysts are still not sure if the Iranian pilots simply were unable to hit the drone due to lack of combat skill, or whether they deliberately were missing and had no intention of bringing it down.
But as one of the officials said, "it doesn't matter, they fired on us."
Little said the United States has to assume Iran was trying to bring down the Predator.
The United States protested the incident but had not heard back from Iran.
Iran has, at other times, been confrontational in the region. In January, the U.S. military and coast guard had close encounters with Iranian Navy vessels which approached at high speeds and exhibited provocative behavior.
Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to the United States, declined to say whether his country knew about the incident before Pentagon officials
1. "Our aircraft was never in Iranian airspace. It was always flying in international air space. The recognized limit is 12 nautical miles off the coast and we never entered the 12 nautical mile limit," Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said in responding to questions from reporters after CNN reported the incident.
2. In December of 2011, a U.S. surveillance drone crashed in eastern Iran. ..................Just a bit of course?
Which remark is a blatant lie?
Is the US staging another "Gulf Of Tonkin" false flag event?
I think so.

US Military is staging a series of fake "Gulf Of Tonkin" incidents. US Military admits it crashed two drones inside of Iran.
I call bullsh!t. Where is the evidence? Where is the tapes/footage of the ongoing attacks? I'm QUITE sure this is just MORE tall tales being fed to the American public, to justify later attacks on Iran. Having said that, I'm NO fan of the leadership of that country. But, time and time again, the American leadership has OUTRIGHT LIED about things JUST like this, to validate whatever scheme they're up to at the time.
Why do I say this? Lets see....anyone have the time and money to go to Iran to investigate this for themselves? No? Exactly. This is yet another 'incident' that conveniently happens on the other side of the planet, because the American leadership KNOWS that nobody will go to Iran, just to see if it's true.
I spent a career in the military, and I can VOUCH for the fact that this happens on a REGULAR basis.
Why did they use a ground attack aircraft to attack the drone?
It was the only one that was working that day.
Through my investigation, shopping for consumer electronics online may be easily expensive, although there are some tips that you can use to obtain the best bargains. There are often ways to discover discount specials that could help make one to ge thet best technology products at the cheapest prices. Good blog post.
I do trust all the ideas you've introduced for your post. They're very convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for starters. Could you please lengthen them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
So picture this. There's an Iranian drone 15 miles off the coast of the United States. We - what? Sit still and wait for it to get closer? Call their government and ask that it be removed? Demand that the United Nations censure Iran? Or would we blast it into oblivion and feel totally justified in doing so?
No we would not "blast it into oblivion" Jerry, and no we wouldn't be "justified". Glad you're not in charge of running NORAD and making bone-headed command decisions...
No the correct answer is, invite it to a party. Yes the correct answer is to destroy it, because it is spying ou the U.S.. And when it comes to spies, all is fair game. It's people like you that brings us Benghazi and the deaths of 4 Americans.
I think that we should protect ourselves from Israel not Iran.
I think you maybe right!
I guess another lie for America to push harder on the weak. Bullies of the world with more brawn than brains. Absolute joke. Cannot wait until China wipes your disgrace of a nation off the map.
Yes! We, Americans, are SO worried about China. Soon as they can manufacturer a jet engine they might be trouble As it stands, once shipping lanes are cut for China to Russia, they will even be unable to use cold-war technology to power their "stealth" air fighters.
trust me .. dude, on the day the Chinese will have wiped of the Americans, u will find yourself which they didn't.
That said , it ain't going to happen dude;-)
Russian – Chinese - excuse my mistake. You are correct, the Iranian Airforce uses Russian planes as well as Chinese J-*'s.
A warthog? Hahah! One is a Fighter the other is a Air to ground attack plane. You still lose.
Whats' up with all these 50yr old keyboard commandos on CNN? I guess they get picked on IRL so they are smartasses on the Internet. Despite the case, have life!
Mr majid,your talk is full of anger,anger leads towards war.but let me tell you and your iranian leaders, time is running out,its time to talk,or.face the bell never seen before.we have faith in Obama and he is loved by the whole world.
SORRY BUT OBLAMA BOY IS NOT LOVED AROUND THE WORLD HE IS ONE OF THE MOST HATED MIEN IN THE WORLD cept for the musslims and those of his color !
Hey blue ice,don't melt like a ice with full of anger.Obama is and will be a great leader and he is loved the whole world.please do travel around the world and do ask people how much they like him.I have done that and I know it.so shut up and pants down.
I love Obama. He is definately not hated as you say. You are one angry Rebuplican't!
be sure we dead >u dead & earth we are iranians not arabs
Mr majid,I won't be dead or the world will be dead,this is your anger talking.what has your Iranian leaders gave you,only hard life and suffering.Get up and think of your future and your kids future.do the right thing.
u know, fk iranian leaders and them policy u are right about them and me, but obama and america not sent by god and lies flow like a river. they feel danger about iranian army and get fk iranian people to revolution and stop it but people is tired to change my friend all this things go to a war i know it and believe it happening soon . i have to defend my country in any way every culture have rise and fall and we are in fall term a long time but i like to keep it safe for hope of change good luck my dear friend :)

Irish insulation materials group, Kingspan, today said it will buy the US building insulation business of Pactiv for USD82m.
Pactiv produces a range of insulation products under the GreenGuard brand which it sells throughout the US from its manufacturing base in Virginia. The business had sales of $84m for the year to June 2014 and reported operating profits of $10m.
Kingspan said it will fund the deal through its existing cash resources.
The deal is still subject to local approval of licence and permit transfers, the Co Cavan-based firm added.
Kingspan's CEO Gene Murtagh said that the deal represents a "new and exciting frontier" for its insulation business in North America, giving the company particular exposure to the residential sector.
"It is a tremendous opportunity for Kingspan to build upon the growing success of our existing insulated panel business throughout the region, and at a time when North America's focus on energy efficiency and security is at an all-time high," Mr Murtagh added.
