Flights to Pittsburgh
Roanoke Regional Airport
The Roanoke Regional Airport handles most of the flights and air traffic in this region of Virginia. Airlines like US Airways Express and Delta Connection offer flights to Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, and other cities across the country. Budget-friendly flights from Roanoke are readily available when you use Orbitz.com, which scours the Internet to find you the best possible deals on Roanoke flights.
Parking Your Car
You can easily park your car at Roanoke Regional Airport, which has more than 1,000 spots available. The long-term lots charge $8 per day, which is cheaper than short-term parking. Shuttle service is available to and from each lot.
Buses and Taxis
You can get to the airport via bus or taxi. The bus line has a stop less than 200 feet from the entrance to the terminal, while taxis will drop you off at the door. Dependable Cab Service and Yellow Cab will provide transport to the airport from any Roanoke location. If you're looking for deals on transportation, keep in mind that cabs and buses are often less expensive than parking fees.
Eating at the Airport
The Cafe and Cafe and Spirits are the two main restaurants at the airport. Both restaurants provide light meals and snacks. If you need something quick, get a snack from one of the vending machines in the terminal. Before you buy your air ticket, look for deals at Orbitz.com on flights from Roanoke to get the best price.
Airports in Pittsburgh
When you start planning your trip to Pittsburgh, you might find yourself comparing prices at the major airports in the city. Orbitz.com searches the available flights to Pittsburgh to help you find great deals. Located 17 miles from downtown, the Pittsburgh International Airport is the biggest airport in the city, and it was once the primary hub for US Airways. Though the company no longer operates from that airport, Southwest Airlines, JetBlue, and Delta Air Lines still do. Pittsburgh also has two other airports located in the outer suburbs: Allegheny County Airport, which primarily serves private and charter planes, and the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport, which works with Sprint Airlines. As these airports are on the outskirts of the city, it might take an hour or more to reach the city.
Pittsburgh Transportation
Once you book your flight through Orbitz.com, you can look for deals on rental cars. Several major car-rental agencies service the city, including Hertz and Budget. Port Authority of Allegheny County, also known as PAT Transit, is the mass transit system in the city. Public transportation takes you to the top destinations, hotels, and airports in the city, and most rides cost less than $5.
Weather in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is like any other city in the Midwest when it comes to weather. During the winter, temperatures can drop as low as 20 to 30 degrees, and the temperature usually remains around 70 or 80 degrees during the summer. If you visit in May, make sure that you bring an umbrella because the city gets its highest level of rainfall during this month.
Top Attractions in Pittsburgh
Whether you like culture and the arts or outdoor activities and sports, you can find something to do in Pittsburgh. Some of the top attractions and activities include the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, and the city is also home to major league teams like the Steelers and Pirates. You can use the Obritz.com website as your own personal planner by searching for flights to Pittsburgh and reserving your hotel and rental car.

A great shot with excellent colours and i like the way the sea escapes from the frame, brilliant work
Nominating Constructive Critique
Hi and thanks for your vote on my 'Last man'
Didn't steal your title honest!
Your framing is very unusual and I think works well.
If you've got a waterfall shot try comping it over the frame then the water would look like it's overflowing like it would be in a dike or bath.
Many thanks,

The Scarf is a Lace scarf that is really for men to wear. I am sure women
will find it appealing as well.
As part of a "March Madness" challenge on a Ravelry group I belong to, we were to pick 3 projects to accomplish during March. Mine were: 1) The Skype beanie. 2) Finish the "Spiraling Purl" socks. 3) Begin a new project with the 2nd skein of yarn used for the socks.
This is my long-time friend Mickey, wearing the birthday present I knitted for him. Simply Red Heart Knitting Worsted, and a vintage pattern. Being that Mickey is quite short, I had to subtract some length from the body and sleeves. It was an easy knit nonetheless.
This is a cut and paste from ravelry. Not sophisticated enough to figure out the linking, but if you are interested there is a blog section on ravelry to get all the vitals and sign up
i used Kevat (spring in Finnish, or so i'm told) pattern
qiviuk 56 gr
on size 7
decided to make a st st section in middle both for more structure but also so
it wasn't so bead heavy
About an hour ago, one of my former students from two years ago visited me at school. He is on the USA Paralympic Hockey team and just got back from Sochi, Russia. We had parent-teacher conferences tonight and he brought his gold medal over for me to see. I was so touched and honored that he would do that. I had fun holding and wearing the medal and posing with him.
Hi hope every one is doing well haven't posted in a while and thought I would add some pictures of what I've been up to lately. Some are projects from last winter and the socks are the newest project. It's a mix of Knitting, Crochet and some Tunisian Crochet.
I offered a few spring pics recently. Unfortunately it has been overcast for several days. Here is a splash of color (if you like yellow).
Yellow Jasmine from my work, I eat lunch under it almost daily.
Iris blooming, spring can't be far off now.
Daffodil beginning to fade.
Here is the Faggot Diamond Pattern from Mary Thomas's Book of Knitting Patterns (1943).
Is this close to what you are looking for? I think your sample has chain/traveling stitches that may cross differently at the top of the diamond but it is definitely close.

The Jewish Community Center of Greater Orlando was founded to give those who share the Jewish tradition a communal setting in which to exercise, play, and learn with one another. Between them, the two locations boast full fitness facilities, tennis courts, and an outdoor pool. Group exercise classes and a gymnasium aid adults in acquiring fitter bodies, and sports leagues provide a venue for grownups to compete and ceremoniously dump sports drinks on each other. The center also puts on its own full-blown theatrical productions.
The center's staff tailors certain events to the needs of senior citizens, helping them with exercise regimes such as yoga. Staff members also assist the Senior Nite club in organizing trips to new restaurants or the theater and help pintsize guests by helming a preschool, kids' camps, and extracurricular programs. Staffers can even pick up youngsters from school and ferry them to one of the facilities for afterschool development programs, which, like backyard mazes, are designed by the child's parents to challenge young ones.

Value All Life–Go Vegan, PETA Urges OK After Hobby Lobby Ruling
In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to allow Hobby Lobby, an Oklahoma City business owned by people with strong religious convictions, to refuse to pay for insurance that covers emergency contraceptives for its employees, PETA is attempting to place its thought-provoking "Killed at 7 Weeks" billboard in the city.
PETA hopes people who value life will also save chickens and other animals by choosing vegan foods. Like us, chickens are made of flesh, bone, and blood. They form strong family ties and mourn when they lose a loved one. And yet billions of chickens are killed for their flesh every year. The birds are only a few weeks old when they're sent to the slaughterhouse, where they're shackled upside down, their throats are slit, and many are scalded to death.
PETA wants people on both sides of the birth control and abortion debates to make the compassionate choice and try tasty vegan foods.

Since Hobby Lobby wants to play the religion card, please remind those hypocrites that "thou shalt not kill." They sell leather and fur products and who knows what else that violate their 10 Commandments.
Yes, where does it say, slaughtering and killing is OK. Thanks.
A very thought provoking Billboard. I believe if more people actually knew the pain that the animal went through to provide them food, many people would start to look for more humane and healthful alternatives
Wow, powerful billboard statement.
Good luck. I hope it works out.

Hyuna – Bubble Pop: Kpop Music Mondays
Ok, so let's start this by saying WOOT WOOT! We love this catchy cute song. Hyuna's "Bubble Pop" can quite possibly be the biggest song of the summer. It's definitely got the numbers to back it up. Over 5 million views in five days. This video went viral. Yes, you do get those kinds of numbers with an SM and YG song, but that's only because they've got really big fan bases who are dedicatedly watching it. Hyuna's big, yes, but not as big as those two, so for this video to have those kinds of numbers shows that it's not just dedicated fans that are watching it, but a boatload of other people who are new to Hyuna and Kpop that are digging this song.
That whole "ooh ah ooh aah ooooooh" for the chorus sounds amazing. The song is so fun and quirky and just sounds great…apart from the sexy dubstep solo. Come on now! Dubstep in a Kpop song? We don't think it really fits. We love Dubstep, but when we listen to it we're more used to gloomy DJs with toques and oversized headphones, not Korean girls rubbing the insides of their thighs. Those two images…don't really blend.
Another thing that didn't really jive with us was the video. Bubble Pop is a fun and cute song, but the video was just a bit too sexy, which might have greatly contributed to the amount of views the video got (and if you don't believe us, do a search in the comments for "fap" or "masturbate" and you'll see what we mean). There's not a lot of bubble popping in the dance. In fact we would argue there was no bubble popping, if not less than 10% bubble sighting in the whole video. But there is a lot of bum-shaking, cleavage-boosting, and thigh-rubbing!
We were especially disappointed with this video because solo artists in Korea are usually especially fantastic at both dancing and singing; look at Hyori, BoA, Rain, Se7en, but Hyuna in both this video and her last video just shook her body…a lot…and almost for the whole video. Even in 4minute's "Mirror Mirror" they barely did any dancing, and their famous crotch-on-floor-rub stripper move was done by – you guessed it – Hyuna.
Don't get us wrong: we don't mind sexiness and sexy dancing, but there are tons of gorgeous Korean dancers out there in the world that could easily do what Hyuna just did. Simon did it perfectly himself! Seriously, though, we're looking for some charisma mixed with unique and talented dancing in our kpop singers. We hope Hyuna's music label is not going to continue to package her purely as a Korean sex icon, unless they want to continue getting pervy comments on their videos. We guess we like kpop music for its unique dances, quirky videos, original fashion sense, AND catchy music. If we wanted to hear a catchy song and watch a sexy video, we would just watch a North American pop/rap video: more than enough bum shaking and low cut shirts for all!
Anyways regardless of the video, the song is still totally cabotally awesome, so if you want to pick up the album sans video, you can click on the banner below. Oooh ooh ooh ooh!
Filed Under:
Kpop Music Mondays-
LoL I lighted upon this blog and think that your comments on the video are hilarious! Well, although this post was written 2 years ago, I still wanna show my respects to your review! I think I should have bookmark on this.
It's Cube Ent. who told her what dance to do don't blame HyunA
Totally agree with that last bit. American pop has more than enough of sexy videos and catchy songs.
The poolside push-off makes more sense after you see 4minute's "Heart to Heart". Apparently, you just don't mess around with Korean women. Compared to the other video, this guy got off easy.
I thought CHU implied kissing? Am I wrong?
I know there are SO many songs with poor usage of English, but the comic book English is nothing compared to Koda Kumi's "Run For Your Life"
My sister was visiting Korea this past week and saw it on Mnet TV. She's a big fan of Kpop so she knows the trends but she was like, "How did this get past the censors?". I wondered about that too, since the Korean music scene sometimes can't decide what's totally inappropriate or not. Not ragging on the song though, I admit it's catchy but not my favorite song of the summer (that'd probably go to Infinity's "Be Mine" lol). If only the make-up stores didn't play it a million trillion times, I wouldn't mind it so much haha. I was also laughing because I thought I had a flat behind…..but I was wrong :PÂ
Voting for Bubble Pop. Seriously, put ants in my pants and that's how I'd be dancing haha.Â
i was so confused with that pool side scene i was what did i miss something
Hi, I'm from Argentina and I really love your Youtube Channel. You're so funny describing the KPOP MV's :DDDD This one from Hyuna was so truth!! I think the same, there must be bubbles!! XD
 Please, next monday can you put the new MV "Good Bye Baby" from Miss A?? Please talk about it, there is a lot of funny things to say XD -
I think it's a little offensive that you're saying: "Hyuna, you're too Korean to dance this sexily. Cute it up!". Why should she be limited by the unwritten rules of her music genre? Why can't she do whatever she pleases? :)
agreed with tracey d. but its also common knowledge in the kpop world that she cant do whatever she pleases- its often the label that chooses for her
They never said she is too Korean to do those dances. They are saying that her label is basically just using sex/sexiness to attract a following. That if they wanted to see a sexy dance COMPLETELY & TOTALLY unrelated to the song..then they could just watch it somewhere else.Â
Interesting review. What's with the Korea-face though? It's a tad offensive.
hahah I see you became Batoost loyal fans after Fiction, I love your screensaver :) and "disturbing" is an accurate word to describe Simon dancing in short pants hahahah just kidding Simon, I love your dancing, please never stop doing it xD you make my days happier. It turns me on even more than Hyuna xD
i would have to say bubble pop cause that bubble is poppin!!! like sisqo – thong song!!
Bubble Pop definitely has more ants in the pants moves. :P
Hey there! I love the way you guys tried to imitate their dance moves! Very entertaining. And I agree with you folks – ANYBODY can do what they do on their music set. Cracked me up…
Also, not too surprised about the number of hits on their video. When I saw it, I was like "Yup, no surprise…all their dance moves are the same!"
I prefer change
SIMON!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldnt focus on the vid because of your great dancing :D i guess star king did do some wonders :P
Agreed it is like a non stop thrust mv O~o martina
…. -
aaahh xDD
Simon dancing in the back distracts me!! XD can't pay attention what Martina is saying because of it xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDmy vote goes for bubble pop o.o
martina i LOVE ur shirt!!!!!!
 bubble pop
 way more ants cause way more JIRATIN
……. Love the Body Gyration Comment u said Martina…. Simon… OMG….. Those comments will totally be ruined by your dance… (The     "M!%#!%^#!%!#"  Comments)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Â Simon your dancing skills never cease to amaze me!!!!
forget rolling down your sexy windows. if you show the YG ent. group your 'bubble bubble bubble pop' there's no way they could refuse you <3 -
i completely agree, those comments were really disturbing and the video did not go with the video…
Hyun-A!!! ^^
She definately has more ants in her pants in Bubble Pop. I got ants in my pants once. It wasn't as fun as she makes it look but it was just as sexy!
wow you guys totally exterminated the video
but I don't care, I STILL LOVE THE SONG :P -
I don't really know why people are judging about the MV being too sexy and started to criticize her D; It's just a form of performance and if you don't like it, DON'T EVEN WATCH IT- – I hate to see people fighting around and said bad words to Hyuna. She's just too young to face these awful comments.><
It's kinda hard to compare both songs as the concepts are quite different. Bubble Pop shows a concept about summer time while Change shows a cool and sexy side of Hyuna. I love both of the Music Videos but I gonna go with Hyuna's Change
EYK loves Kpop and this is all in good fun, so you need to relax or dont watch EYK Music Mondays if its your favorite band/singer. I love it when they do stuff about my favorite performers. If you cant laugh at it, you are taking things way to seriously, just saying…
you said it yourself that she's too young
so why should she be promoting all these sexy moves?
yes i know that she's a good dancer.
i agree to that.
but maybe just tone down a little?-
She's legal plus it's the company who wants her to have a sexy image
She's legal, just saying, so it's quite fine for her to be doing this sort of dancing.
Having a hard time finding Hyuna's Change (mostly 'cause I don't type Korean). Is there a reason you don't link to the music videos up for challenge from your blog? If there's not a legal reason, it's something to think about.
Anyways. Time for my vote: Hyuna's got more ants in Bubble Pop.
Hope you guys have a great week. As for me… well I've got to try to untraumatize myself after seeing Simon dance like Hyuna (jk, that was the funniest thing I've seen in a very long time, keep it up)
totally agreeing w/ u guys bout d MV and song. all that bum-shaking, cleavage-boosting, and thigh-rubbing was getting on my nerve too! and I've always thought of her as a rapper (average) then she came out singing for her Bubble Pop! was quite taken aback but it wasn't a delightful surprise. especially after watching her live performance…wow, did tat suck as so much! now i understand why she's not the singer in her group
I'm going to mud festival(ë³´ë ¹ ì´ë²ˆì£¼ í† ìš"ì¼)
Owh thank you Martina And Simon. I understand and can accept what you said. I love it too, but your words not really hurt me as a fan. Not like the harsh and sarcastic words out there. This why I love to follow your review.
And oh yeah, thanks for make a review for HyunA~ I am one of people who vote for her few days a go ^^
Hyuna's been the sexy one since her wonder girls days. It's just more pronounced now. The practice video is much better, as it doesn't look so… well, sexy.Â
Just watched the practice video for Bubble pop and I like it better than the official music video. Especially the last few seconds of it.
Hrm…. I'm gonna go with Bubble Bop because the ants in the pants were WAY over the top. Change is just the right amount of hooch I think…Â
the uhh ahh ahh part is the most annoying part, next to the B2B pop, the boobies to booty pop. the bubble definition for a woman for Hyuna is interpreted as breasts and ass. dissapointing.Â
ps: ran and play bubble wrap with GDTOP sounds more fun! I mean seriously, I dont want to her you moaning Hyuna in a song, grab a guy and get a decent room and ur free to do just about anything seriously.
Another great video and I won't ever see that Bubble Pop video again in the same way (if I see it again).
Understanding why the agency chose to go in the more sexy direction, considering that Hyuna's getting older, and there's tendency in all agencies to at least try that concept with their idols at that point, AND considering the fact that 4minute as a group could be considered separately from other girl groups in that they tend to have a stronger, more aggressive image anyways, I still agree that the sexiness in the video way overshadows the song. I actually went back and played the song by itself and I actually paid attention to it (sorry, but boobs and butts all over the place DOES tend to be distracting).
The song is great, but I gotta disagree on that "ooh ooh ahh ooooohhhh" part. It's just me, I know, but it annoys the heck out of me. Everything else is awesome, especially the chorus. It's a great summer song and simply for the fact that it doesn't specifically make "summer" the focus of it like "Hot Summer" or "Go Go Summer". It's just a fun song.
P.S. Loving the Wolverine tee. :-)
It was so hard to enjoy the song when all I was faced with was popping asses and boob squeezing. When I put the live version on and switched to another tab and was NOT looking at her "dance", I thought the song was decent, and that it fit the summer season very well. But GAD, the video just… smh. She has a great body (aka sexy) but she boasts it out as a first priority and tries wayyyy too hard to be sexiER.
I'…m so speechless, and this is not even because of the fact that the song I voted for didn't win, but because I thought for sure that Don't Go Home video would get more votes. (;;>o<)==3
Just going to watch Knock Out for real bubble popping hahaha!
I was worried when I first saw the lead up of "top song of the summer", but I was glad to see you guys also thought the MV was a disappointment. I totally agree that to just use pure sex appeal is not going to appeal to the right audience and it just degrades Hyuna.
This was one of my favorite Music Mondays ever. Love the godzilla + oppa scene. It is going in my favorites :D.Â

The Worst Hockey Cards of All-Time is a new feature at Houses of the Hockey. On occasion, we'll be highlighting some of the ugliest, funniest, and error-ridden cards both past and present.
Now, to be fair to Lanny McDonald, his legendary mustache would usually enhance the value of any card that he's ever graced. For whatever reason, the Calgary Flames allowed Lanny McDonald (and his Flames teammates) to be photographed while sporting what look strikingly similar to beer league jerseys for a 1983-84 O-Pee-Chee shoot. Let's assume that Molson products were a post-game staple for the 83-84 Flames – but were they so hard up that they required a beer sponsor for their practice sweaters? Killer 'stache, Lanny.

Risk and Reputation Companies across the globe recognize that a robust, positive corporate reputation is a primary asset and a significant source of value and competitive advantage. They also recognize that corporate reputation can be lost or severely damaged in an instant by a single inappropriate decision or action. Efforts to build, maintain, and protect corporate reputation have been made all the more difficult by the continuing increase in the variety and complexity of the potential sustainability-related risks to corporate reputation. These risks have resulted from the globalization of business operations and the rise of a network of socially, environmentally, and ethically aware global actors that monitor and report on corporate activities on a 24/7 basis. Reputational risks abound—especially for companies with global operations and/or sales—and can relate to a variety of issues, such as:
Many companies have recognized that, to achieve the benefits associated with a robust corporate reputation, a focused strategy is required with respect to building, managing, and maintaining this reputation and working diligently to restore it when it is threatened or damaged. In addition, they have recognized that a key element is a structured and effective corporate sustainability strategy that focuses management's attention and corporate resources on financial, environmental, and social responsibility.
Sustainability Strategy Integrated sustainability practices are founded upon an effective sustainability strategy. The organizations that have been most successful in creating sustainable value by managing risk and opportunity have recognized this simple principle. These companies have established a formal sustainability strategy with clear objectives and performance measures, focusing their efforts on:
This represents a transition from the traditional reactive response to isolated challenges (typically environmental in nature), to a proactive integrated approach to managing risk, creating opportunities, and engaging with stakeholders to develop open communication about relevant sustainability information. Governance An effective corporate governance program and a strong and continuous commitment to ethical behaviour are essential to protecting the integrity and reputation of an organization. Leaders in sustainability have incorporated the oversight of management's development and execution of the sustainability strategy within formal governance structures, either by designation to an existing committee or the establishment of a new committee tasked with a Corporate Responsibility and/or Sustainability mandate. International leading practice in corporate governance generally focuses on at least three areas:
Ethics and Integrity The importance of ethics and integrity has been clearly highlighted by the string of market failures that have punctuated the past decade. From the failure of major corporations such as Enron and Worldcom through the current financial crisis that has consumed Wall Street stalwarts such as Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers, the potential catastrophic results from ethical failures have been demonstrated dramatically over the course of the first decade of the 21st century. As these failures have highlighted, effective corporate sustainability strategies and corporate governance programs are predicated on a sustained corporate commitment to appropriate ethical principles and behaviour, and demonstrable integrity in all its activities. Failure to behave ethically and with appropriate integrity can lead corporate sustainability and corporate governance efforts to failure. Therefore, corporate ethics and integrity programs represent a critical element of both an effective corporate sustainability strategy and an effective corporate governance program. While the content of any specific ethics and integrity program will vary with the context and needs of the corporation, key areas of focus for such programs will often include specific commitments to issues, including:

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)While relief is on the way, many in frantic scramble for food, water in Philippines
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
November 15th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) While much needed food, water, clothing and medical supplies are now making their way across the typhoon-ravaged Philippines, many survivors remain without. This has proved especially true to survivors in more remote areas of the country, far from the main focus of the disaster, the devastated city of Tacloban. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Tourism worker Jose Barrios in the small island of Polopina, in the Concepcion municipality, says the area bore the full brunt of last week's deadly storm."Concepcion is completely wrecked," Barrios said. "We don't have anything at all. People are asking for help. We need clean water, food, clothes, people have lost everything." AFTER THE UNSPEAKABLE, WE SPEAK HOPE. Support Catholic Online's response to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. DONATE NOW ... The media's focus remains on such ruined cities such as Tacloban and Cebu. Other areas, he says, are being forgotten in the rush. "The main focus right now is on Tacloban and because we're pretty remote and no one knows our place I guess they haven't noticed what we lost," he said. "Pretty much they are all focused on one place and they are forgetting people who are in bad way. Of course we feel bad for them but we're in a bad way too." Many survivors complain that relief efforts are not being launched in more remote and obscure parts of the country, as they are among the worst-affected zones. Th on bright spot is that logjams against international food and medical supplies have eased. Still, many rural islands communities have yet to receive any help. In the meantime, the Philippine government is adding a strange spin on the term "damage control." Officials say that the police official who told the media the death toll could be 10,000 has been removed from his post and counseled for stress. According to the Manila Times, A government spokeswoman said that "There is no attempt to hide or to fudge any figures." The United Nations says the death toll from the monster typhoon had reached 4,200. The Philippine government disputes this figure, setting it at 3,621 early Friday. United Nations humanitarian chief Valerie Amos says she acknowledges aid should have been quicker in coming and more widely distributed. "I think we are all extremely distressed that it is already day six and we have not managed to reach everyone," she told reporters in Manila. A birth foretold: click here to learn more!

Inline sixes seldom shake like wet dogs at idle. This one does. The reason why few makers cram such an engine sideways between the front wheels is that it results in a huge turn circle. In the Volvo XC90, you need a full 40 feet to complete a U-turn between curbs, 2.4-feet more than in an Acura MDX. To check out winter mobility, I drove into the teeth of a Michigan storm, an assignment this hulk completed with pride. Except for a slightly lazy stability-system engagement, the XC90 soldiered forth like a letter carrier anticipating the end of his route. To study passenger accommodations, I ushered four adults and three kids aboard to attend Detroit's gala boat show. Loading the back row posed a more awkward climb than is typical of minivans but otherwise this mid-size SUV performed like a consummate servant. For $40,000+, it should. But since fun-to-drive is missing, I'd sooner invest in a Grand Caravan and pocket the $10,000 price difference.

Stevenage have signed midfielder Josh Walker on loan from Watford until January 2012.
Walker spent a brief tenure with the Boro last season and scored against AFC Wimbledon in an FA Cup fixture, but, after featuring twice, was recalled following an injury to Stephen McGinn.
Walker also spent time on loan at Northampton in the second half of last season.
The 22-year-old, who began his career as a Middlesbrough trainee, has made two substitute appearances for the Hornets this season and will remain at Broadhall Way until at least the new year.

I think - no I am sure I have been ripped off by my roofer. I had a lot of dry rot and 30 sheet of plywood had to be replaced. He charged me for 30 hours of labor to do it. He said it takes about an hour to replace a 4 by 8 sheet - that seems like way too much time on a simple moderately sloped roof |
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe not the fastest however all that material has be brought up onto the roof and the old stuff ripped up and carted away. 30 hours is ~3 man days. A 3 man crew doing that in a day doesn't really sound too bad to me. One guy doing it himself in 3 days sounds ok, too. Just my 0.02. |
"He said it takes about an hour to replace a 4 by 8 sheet - that seems like way too much time on a simple moderately sloped roof" Sounds about right. You have to remove the old deck, clean up any old fasteners that will be in the way of the new sheet in the rafters, buy the sheets, deliver the sheets, get them on the roof, remove the debris form the roof, load the debris, dispose of the debris, fasten the new sheet (and maybe trim it some to fit). |
- Posted by civ_IV_fan (My Page) on Tue, Mar 8, 11 at 14:41
that is a serious repair and his labor charge sounds about right |
- Posted by chinacat_sunflower (My Page) on Sat, Mar 12, 11 at 10:32
I agree - unless a crane dropped all 30 sheets, and the shingles off on the roof, and then held the dumpster right at the lip so cleanup was a breeze? seriously - you get one sheet of plywood, one roll of paper, and three packs of shingles up that roof your own self, and see how long it takes. |

LinkedInMarissa Mayer recently demanded all Yahoo employees work in a corporate office. They're no longer allowed to work from home, unless it's with good reason.
Yahoo has faced world-wide backlash for this decision.
That's because many people have proved to be successful, despite not working in an office environment.

KiaSA Writing Style Analyser
i write like July 28th, 2010The "I Write Like" analyser has been spreading like wildfire recently, a web page that takes a text sample and with uncanny machine precision determines that you write like one of 50 authors including James Joyce, H. P. Lovecraft, P. G. Wodehouse or, in particularly insulting cases, Dan Brown. Doubt has been raised over the pin-point accuracy of the Bayesian classifier behind it, though, so KiaSA Industries have devoted a vast amount of effort and resources to create a far more sophisticated algorithm, the most accurate writing style analysis service in the known universe:

July 28th, 2010 at 6:07 pmI saw this a week or two ago and found that one of my "in progress" articles apparently means I write like… some dude I can't remember, and can't get again (though I remember being wholly unimpressed when I did a bit of research on him), since I just pasted the *same* text with very minor edits into the analyzer, and now it's calling me H.P.

I've never read Lovecraft (gasp!), so I'm not sure how accurate that is… but I suspect the analyzer is triggering on a few key words/acronyms or phrases, rather than really doing any sort of useful contextual analysis.
Another article (Apple Picking) garnered an "Arthur Clarke" (sans the "C."?), and yet another (The Old World of Warcraft) earned me a "Cory Doctorow".
Overall, I'm vaguely insulted, but I'll take the Clarke happily.

Mike Pelfrey SP MIN 8 Months
Mike Pelfrey (elbow) is scheduled to see Dr. James Andrews on Monday.
Pelfrey is on anti-inflammatory medication, but it hasn't completely solved his nerve issue. The right-hander started the season off poorly with a 7.99 ERA in his first five outings. Any sort of elbow surgery would put the remainder of the 2014 campaign in jeopardy.
Mike Pelfrey SP MIN 8 Months
Mike Pelfrey's rehab has been shut down for a few days as the Twins wait to see how his elbow reacts to anti-inflammatory medication.
Hopefully he's able to resume throwing soon. While no structural damage was found in an MRI taken last week, Pelfrey is going to receive a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews. Pelfrey underwent Tommy John surgery in 2012. This season, he had put up an ERA of close to 8.00 prior to being shut down with a groin injury. The elbow issues only began to flare up during his minor league rehab sessions.
Mike Pelfrey SP MIN 8 Months
Mike Pelfrey (groin, elbow) will receive a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews.
Pelfrey's elbow is fine structurally, but it's possible he'll need minor surgery to fix some nerve irritation. The right-hander is dealing with some tingling in his fingers, a condition that evidently dates back to spring training. It's not clear how long a procedure would sideline him.
Mike Pelfrey SP MIN 8 Months
Mike Pelfrey (groin) has been diagnosed with nerve irritation in his right elbow.
Pelfrey was said to have been shut down from his rehab assignment due to shoulder issues, but it's apparently his elbow that's the concern. The righty is experiencing some tingling in his fingers as a result of the nerve irritation. The Twins don't think the ailment is serious, but it's not clear how long Pelfrey will be out.
Mike Pelfrey SP MIN 8 Months
Mike Pelfrey (groin) returned from his rehab assignment on Wednesday due to shoulder soreness.
That's not a good sign. Pelfrey had been improving after being placed on the DL with a groin strain, so the shoulder issue is a new development. Pelfrey will be examined by team doctors on Wednesday, and more should be known about any new injuries and a possible timetable for return from those ailments.
Mike Pelfrey SP MIN 9 Months
Mike Pelfrey will make a rehab start Friday for Triple-A Rochester.
Pelfrey will throw around 60 pitches in the start, his first since hitting the disabled list on May 2. He'll have 30 days to rehab before being required to be activated, and the Twins will likely take their time to ensure the 30-year-old makes it back healthy.
Mike Pelfrey SP MIN 9 Months
Mike Pelfrey (groin) threw a bullpen session Tuesday.
It's another step in the right direction for Pelfrey, who was placed on the disabled list May 2 with a left groin strain. The 30-year-old had a 7.99 ERA and 18 walks through his first 23 2/3 innings this season, so the Twins probably won't rush him back.
Mike Pelfrey SP MIN 9 Months
Mike Pelfrey (groin) continues to improve and increase activity.
Pelfrey was placed on the disabled list last week with a left groin strain. He's making progress, but might return as a reliever. The 30-year-old has an ugly 7.99 ERA and 18 walks through 23 2/3 innings this season.
Mike Pelfrey SP MIN 9 Months
Twins placed RHP Mike Pelfrey on the 15-day disabled list with a left groin strain.
It can be debated as to whether he's really hurt, as Pelfrey had been poised to be removed from the rotation, anyway. Regardless, he's out and Samuel Deduno is in the Twins' rotation. It's not clear how long Pelfrey will be sidelined.
Mike Pelfrey SP MIN 9 Months
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire acknowledged after another poor outing from Mike Pelfrey Thursday that the right-hander could be moved to the bullpen.
Pelfrey surrendered five runs in four innings to the Dodgers and how has a 7.99 ERA with 18 walks over 23 2/3 frames this season. "It's frustrating," Gardenhire said. "He reverted back to the pace thing and didn't throw it over enough. We were on the field a lot and he threw 85 pitches in four innings. So we just have to figure out what we need to do next and where we need to go next. We'll sit down and talk with the pitching coach, the pitcher and everybody involved to see where we go with this." Samuel Deduno threw four relief innings following Pelfrey Thursday and Gardy indicated that Deduno is a candidate to move into the rotation. "Sammy is fine," Gardenhire said. "He just has to get into a routine, too. We stretched him out pretty good today and we'll make a decision here."

Planes Are Finally Making Logical Descents Onto American Runways
- Wednesday June 25, 2014
At two Texas airports, planes can finally take the most efficient route from cruise altitude to the runway.
At two Texas airports, planes can finally take the most efficient route from cruise altitude to the runway.
Building ridges around Schiphol Airport deflects noise from planes back into the sky and away from annoyed neighbors.
The Intelligent Airport system makes all relevant info available in one place, so everything flows more smoothly and delays can be cut down.
Proposed policy changes will make it easier to keep passengers from getting out of hand, and to prosecute them when they do.
Beautiful compositions can originate at airports that are nothing special at ground level.
The map of the world finds the exact midpoint between any two airports.
Mobile carrier research house RootMetrics investigated coverage at the country's top 50 airports and found which ones offer the highest quality mobile experience and which carriers deliver it.
Evan Booth wondered if it was possible for terrorists to craft deadly weapons using only items for sale at the duty free shops and newsstands beyond the TSA checkpoints.
If your holiday plans are taking you to faraway lands, Google just made navigating the airport and transit terminals a little bit easier with Street View.
Like wearing shoes through security before Richard Reid's failed airplane bombing, setting up a telephoto lens at the end of an airport runway wasn't a big deal before 9/11. Photographer John Schabel did just that between 1994 and 1996 for his intriguing portrait series Passengers, which is only now being released as a book.

The Daily Troll: Hit-and-run vehicle identified. Late flood of support for Sen. Sheldon. Transgender health insurance OK'd.
Mean Streets
City-contracted waste hauler, Recology CleanScapes, said Friday that it operated the truck involved in a First Hill pedestrian fatality, which occurred on Thursday afternoon. A woman, whose name has not yet been released, was the victim of the accident. Although the truck driver drove away from the scene he has not been arrested. The incident remains under investigation. Yesterday, the police department said they were not certain whether the driver knew that he had hit the woman. The accident took place on James Street near Eight Avenue.
Later Thursday evening, a suspected drug dealer, who was fleeing from police, ran a red light and a stop sign, hit a parked car and then careened his own vehicle onto a sidewalk near Sixth Avenue and Denny Way, striking a woman who was pushing a baby in a stroller. The mother and child were treated for minor injuries at Harborview Medical Center. Cops later arrested the suspect and booked him into King County Jail for drug charges and an outstanding warrant. Just before the accident he had escaped arrest near Fourth Avenue and Battery Street. Officers did not chase the suspect after he drove away because they did not want to endanger people in the area. — B.L.
Business has senator's back
Business interests are taking no chances regarding the possibility of state Sen. Tim Sheldon, D-Potlatch, coming in third in a three-way primary race. Only two candidates will survive next Tuesday's primary in the 35th Legislative District on the Olympic and Kitsap peninsulas. The Olympian newspaper reported that independent business-related political action committees have pumped roughly $161,000 into Sheldon's campaign against Democrat Irene Bowling and libertarian Republican Travis Couture. The PACs donated most of the money for Sheldon in the past week.
Although technically a Democrat, Sheldon mostly votes with the Senate Republicans. And his membership in the Republican-dominated Senate Majority Coalition Caucus gives the GOP control of that body. (For Crosscut's expanded coverage of the politics of the 35th District race and its significance for the state, click here; a look at the ins and outs of the three-way race is here.) — J.S.
Victory for transgender rights
A state board voted unanimously on Thursday to offer insurance coverage for all transgender health services, The Olympian reports. Starting January 2015, employees will be covered for hormone therapy, office visits and mental health treatment. Coverage for sex reassignment surgeries will be available starting July 2015. The Public Employees Benefits Board estimates that the additional coverage for transgender care could cost $1 more per month per subscriber in the system serving approximately 350,000 state employees, family members and retirees. Other states, including California and Oregon, already cover these services for public employees, as do Seattle, King County and several major employers like Microsoft, Best Buy, Pepsico and Group Health Cooperative.
"Providing the full range of services to transgender individuals is literally a matter of life and death," said Seth Kirby, board president of Pride Foundation. "PEBB's decision sends a clear message to transgender individuals that they matter, and paves the way for other employers to follow suit." — M.L.
Hutch: Birth control pills tied to breast cancer
A new study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and University of Washington suggests that taking birth control pills could elevate the risk of breast cancer in women. Scientists analyzed pharmacy data to track oral contraception use by 1,102 women between the ages of 20-49. They discovered that women taking high-dose estrogen pills were 2.7 times more likely to have breast cancer, while the likelihood rose by 1.6 times in women using moderate-dose pills. Low-dose estrogen pills did not carry an increased risk.
But you may not need to rush to throw out the pills just yet. High-dose estrogen pills are typically only prescribed to people with medical conditions or those who don't tolerate side-effects of other contraceptions well, according to The Atlantic. And study author Elisabeth Beaber of Fred Hutch noted in the Puget Sound Business Journal, "It is important to remember that breast cancer is rare among young women and that there are other established health benefits associated with oral contraceptive use." Those include decreased risks of ovarian and endometrial cancer. — M.L.

Not sure who in their right mind actually believes that the 35th will be a 3-way. Not unless it's a ménage-a-pot. Libertarians rarely get 5% of the vote. You'd have to be tokin' hard to smoke that candidate up to 1/3 of the vote.

GOP crafts new image as it hustles Mitt Romney out the door
(Read article summary)All the Republican Party needs to recover from its presidential defeat is a new message, a new image, and some fresh faces. And usher Mitt Romney offstage. That's it. Piece of cake.
Charlie Neibergall/AP
All the Republican Party needs to recover from its defeat in the presidential election is a new message, a new image, and some fresh faces. That's it. Piece of cake.
But first, it must usher out the remembrance of party leaders past. That would be Mitt Romney – who, in fact, has been making it easier for the GOP to do just that.
Echoing his infamous "47 percent" off-the-record comment to big donors during the campaign, he upped that to 51 percent in his post-election remarks (again, to donors) about how Barack Obama had won by purchasing his vote majority with "gifts" to liberal interest groups.
Grapes never seemed so sour, and Republicans were quick to rebuke such blame-gamesmanship.
RECOMMENDED: Election 2012: 12 reasons Obama won and Romney lost
"I absolutely reject what he said," Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (the new chairman of the Republican Governors Association) said on Fox News Sunday. "We as a Republican Party have to campaign for every single vote. If we want people to like us we have to like them first. And you don't start to like people by saying their votes were bought."

Don't Make Your Divorce Hurt Your Kids
Let's say the most brutal part right up front: an alarming number of divorcing parents who say they're trying to "protect" their children from the effects of divorce are actually making things much worse. And the biggest reason is that the parents just can't take their egos out of the equation to make room for their children. For these parents, the drama is everything, and the kids become the suffering audience for a "poor wronged me" scenario that drags on and on.
The most important thing you can do for your kids is this: realize that from the moment you file for divorce, it's all over. Everything he did, everything she did, from that second on is now irrelevant. You're done. No matter how bad it was, and no matter how much you're hurting, it's over now. From here on in, it's no longer about you and your ex and your problems – it's about making life easier for your children.
If you have kids, you're still going to have to be dealing with your ex. And this is the time to man- or woman-up. You and your ex have already made your mistakes, and now you have a more important mission: to help your children, who are almost certainly suffering, and probably have been for some time. No matter how much you hate or resent your ex, you're just going to have to get over it. Or act as if you have. Frankly, so what if it hurts you to pretend? Make a commitment to your kids and swallow your pride. They're the important people now. Ask yourself what's more important to you – your being "in the right" or your child's peace of mind?
Here's one thing you should keep in mind. KIDS THINK EVERYTHING IS THEIR FAULT. No matter how much you reassure them that the divorce isn't about them, they'll always think it is. Always. Kids are very self-absorbed; it's a natural state for them. And the first thing they think about divorce – or even arguments between parents – is that it's somehow their fault. And the longer the parents' resentments of each other goes on, the deeper the guilt of the kids is going to be. They almost never admit this to their parents, but you can be sure they're feeling it. And don't think the kids are old enough to understand what's going on. They might be, but it's still going to hurt them in ways you'll never know until it's too late.
Here are some of the worst things divorcing parents can do to their children, and unfortunately do all the time.
- The parents are unwilling to move on, or realize that the marriage is over. The parents just can't shut up, even in front of the children. They can't let go of the worst parts of the relationship and must talk it over endlessly. If there was infidelity involved, the injured party must re-hash this over and over, to all the friends, all the relatives. The unfaithful partner feels that he or she was "forced" into it by his or her mate's actions or for "true love," and must now make excuses. Worse, the kids are made to feel – or are even told – that "Daddy/Mommy didn't want us any more."

Heights of Harlem
Septr 25 1776
Dear sir
Thro' the hurry and confusion of one retreat after another I have omitted to answer your last favor.
You are pleas'd to desire a list of the Officers from Massachusetts Bay noting such as bid fair to rise superior to the commonality. I have endevor'd to procure the whole list but in vain. The General sometime since order'd a list to be given in of the Officers of evry Regiment in Order to go to the War Office at Philadelphia. This must be more correct than any other that can be procur'd. The Character of Major Brooks is that of a sensible, brave, good officer, a man of reading and who will if God spares his Life be an ornament to his Country. Lt Coll Shepard is brave and clever but his view of things is not so extensive or his education equal to the other. Major Austin's Genius is equal to any science, but I am not so certain that his application is.
If Austin could by any ways or means have infus'd into him certain principles of inflexible honor and sentiment, and a proportion of Judgement with his Genius, I think he would be one of the first Characters coming on the stage. These in my opinion would be essential of a Lieutenant Colonel Artillery. "If another Battalion of Artillery shall be rais'd who are to be the field Officers?" This sir will be difficult to answer without the Congress or the General know persons suitable for those Offices. I confess I do not, at least not in the army and there are so few inducements, excepting a Love to their Country which seems to go a precious little way thus I know not how we shall get them. There is but one Lieutenant Colonel to the present Battalion and but one Major altho the Congress allow of two of each. The Lt Colo is David Mason, who is but so so, the Major is an exceeding fine Spirited fellow (Crane)
and were his education equal to his station he must cut
{ 41 }
An excellent figure. He was wounded some time ago in the foot so that
is disabl'd for the Campaign. Mason has been sick for Some time. I am alone and have been so for a long time. The petty business of paying the regiment which till Now has been I think
upon me together with the arrangement, and disposal of all the Cannon and Stores and discipline of the regiment has so fully employ'd me that I have scarcely had time to take the common refreshing of nature. This I mean not by way of complaint for I rejoice exceedingly that I have been in the least Assisting my injur'd and insulted Country.
I am sorry to observe the same popular plan for raising a new Army still continuing—which will most assuredly give the continent the same unmeaning
for officers with which she has been curs'd. If the Congress do not administer a radical Cure they will in the end repent it. Military Accademies must be Instituted at any expence, We are fighting against a people well acquainted with the Theory and practice of War—brave by discipline and habit furnish'd with every implement of war necessary for any enterprize. What do we oppose to these? We oppose a —— Tho they are brave and furnish'd with all these matters yet from some causes They discover very little of the great or vast in their designs or executions. Otherways this army would have been annihilated. Had they at their head our amiable and worthy General I think poor America would have ere' now have felt the
[ . . . ]
severely. We had one chance and only one for the defence of New York and that they completly put into our hands, and which some of our Ge
most vilely miss'd improving. The ignorance of the Grounds and the not occupying the passes on that Island sufficiently has been the sole and only cause of our subsequent Retreats and —— had General Greene been fit for duty I flatter myself matters would have worn a very different appearance at present. These and other matters may form some very pertinent inquiries in some future day.
The enemy have now suffer'd us quietly to fortify heights which they cannot storm or take. When the Grounds on the other side Kings Bridge and above Morrisania shall be sufficiently fortified I think they will not be able to disposess us of the places where we now are. This will be a negative advantage and I hope some lapse in their Conduct will give some very capital and positive advantages. I am asham'd of this Letter it being written amid the Hurry interruption and Confusion of a tent. I

FRIDAY, Nov. 11 (HealthDay News) -- When something's been scientifically proven as good for the body -- nourishing, boosting disease-fighting ability and more -- you might think Americans would clamor to adopt it, especially when the bodies it helps are babies'.
But you'd be wrong, health experts bemoan -- at least when it comes to breast-feeding.
A large number of mothers in the United States, they say, do not breast-feed their babies.
Nearly three out of four mothers start breast-feeding while still in the hospital, but by the time their baby is 6 months old, just 43 percent are still breast-feeding, said Dr. Richard Schanler, a neonatologist and pediatrician in Manhasset, N.Y., and chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics' breast-feeding section. Fewer than one of four mothers in the United States breast-feeds till their child's first birthday.
And those numbers represent only women who do any breast-feeding, said Schanler and Dr. Laura Viehmann, a pediatrician in Pawtucket, R.I. Just 33 percent of mothers exclusively breast-feed to 3 months of age, Schanler said, and only 14 percent to 6 months.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breast-feeding for a year, and as long as baby and mother desire after that, Schanler said. Once a baby reaches 6 months old, the mother can start adding in complimentary foods.
But until then, exclusive breast-feeding has the backing of medical research. "The physical benefits of breast-feeding are improved with exclusive breast-feeding for six months," Viehmann said.
So why don't more mothers breast-feed? Breast-feeding can be difficult to learn, for both mother and child. And American society, according to Schanler and Viehmann, doesn't provide the sort of support needed to promote the practice.
Breast milk contains a rich amount of nutrients, hormones and antibodies, a wondrous combination that
