Heat and Spices
Post: #1
Heat and Spices
I want to start adding ground cloves, cinnamon, pepper, turmeric, ginger, and flax to my meals. I also want to start adding powders like garlic, onion, and chili to my meals. And lastly, I want to start adding dried oregano, basil, and parsley to my meals.
Will any of these ground, dried, and powder spices have a lot of their awesome antioxidants destroyed in the heat when it's cooking with the food? I've been thinking about putting them in near the end of the cooking rather the beginning so they are not exposed to the heat for any good amt of time...but I think I'd get much more of the flavor if the foods were basted and cooked with these flavors for a length of time. But the antioxidants take precedence so if they're going to be compromised, I'll just put them on at the end of the cooking. Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to cook with these spices and save the healthy part of them? |

Present efforts in nuclear astrophysics may soon lead to the solution of the solar neutrino problem, the successful modeling of the supernova explosion mechanism, an understanding of the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements, and more quantitative constraints on the structure and dynamics of neutron stars. If the solution of the solar neutrino problem involves massive neutrinos, nuclear physics will have demonstrated the need for physics beyond the current Standard Model of particle physics. The supernova mechanism and the origin of the heavy elements are questions with deep connections, as the dynamics of the supernova explosion and the fossil record of that explosion in the synthesized nuclei must be understood within a single model.
In the longer term, it is apparent that an explosion of new instrumentation is revolutionizing the rich intersections between astronomy, astrophysics, and nuclear physics: new technology telescopes, satellite-based detectors for probing the microwave background and for measuring astrophysical sources of gamma rays, more sophisticated solar-neutrino detectors, radioactive-beam facilities for the study of reactions that previously occurred only in stars, high-energy neutrino detectors utilizing the ice caps or the oceans, new observations of neutron stars (including the exciting prospect that the detection of gravitational radiation emitted when neutron stars collide may become possible), and others. Increasingly, the understanding of new data on astrophysical objects depends on our understanding of the underlying nuclear (and atomic) microphysics that drive the evolution and energy production of the stars and the galaxies in which they reside. This inextricable linking of nuclear physics and astrophysics has produced a rich bond between the two fields that seems destined to grow ever stronger.

Not tested yet, but thought i would need size 22 due to layers, but they seemed to have allowed for this and 20 fitted well. only problem is that as i am 5'3", the legs are too long. however, this was the better pair for length and think i'll manage.
January 10, 2014
I use these when looking after my horse in winter. warm and dry without being too thick to do things in. good size and fit to be active in. i have a very small waist compared to my hips and bum but these fit really well.

So cute! Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder have gone public with their romance and HollywoodLife.com can EXCLUSIVELY tell you that Nikki is 'already in love' with Ian!
Nikki Reed, 26, and Ian Somerhalder, 35, are in the beginning stages of a new relationship and it's adorable. Despite having only been officially a couple for a short time now, Nikki is head over heels for Ian!
Nikki Reed 'Already In Love' With Ian Somerhalder
Love is already in the air for Ian and Nikki.
"Nikki is a major romantic and when she falls in love she falls hard," a source revealed to HollywoodLife.com.
"She's already saying that she's in love with Ian, they spend all their free time together and they're even talking about adopting a rescue dog together."
There's no question that Ian and Nikki love animals, but they also love staying home and out of the celeb party scene!
"Nikki is super normal, as far as celebrities go, she's not high maintenance or a major partier and neither is Ian," the source dished to us. "They both love staying home and just hanging with friends."
These two have been showing off how happy they are with their promising relationship up and down the west coast. Ian and Nikki were spotted kissing up a storm at a Comic-Con after party on July 26, and then Ian was by Nikki's side at the Young Hollywood Awards just one day later.
Ian is ready to settle down and he even revealed in a Comic-Con interview that he "will be" getting married, but whether or not it will be with Nikki is yet to be determined. Nikki and Ian have been taking things slow as they transition from just friends to lovers, including adorable farmers market PDA and running dates.
There's just one more thing these two lovebirds want to make their relationship drama-free.
Ian Somerhalder & Nikki Reed Want Nina Dobrev's Blessing
While the situation is a bit tense since Ian has to film with his ex, Nina Dobrev, 25, for season six of The Vampire Diaries, the couple is "waiting for Nina's blessing."
"It's a little awkward right now because they have the same friend circle as Nina and no one is quite sure how to react," a source revealed to HollywoodLife.com. At least they're doing the considerate thing by thinking of Nina!
Ian and Nikki seem to have formed a strong relationship, built on trust and a similar understanding of what they want out of life. They are so happy together!
HollywoodLifers, do you think Ian and Nikki are meant to be? Let us know!

They will definitely last and I expect an Engagement announcement not to far down the Road. There look so much in Love and Ian has been glowing , His gorgeous Eyes sparkling again, looking more unbelievable beautiful then ever, I guess being truly in Love does that to You. You too are a beautiful Couple, both of You keep up the good Work you Guy's have been doing for the Environment , Animals and peoples future Life.
i honestly think that ian and nina are a better couple i mean tbh nina is way better than nikki and ian and nikkki have alot in common but thats the thing relationships are for each other to have manny differences and learn and no what they are so my opinion is that nikki ur really pretty but not good enough for ian and ian ur good enough for nina …………
Posted at 9:07 PM on August 9, 2014
On what planet is Nina way better then Nikki, Nikki is on established Movie Actress, just made a documentary, is in 2 movies ,and had a Oscar nomination, for 13, She is also beautiful. Her and Ian make a great Couple, They have a lot of interests together, and look very happy and that is all that matters. The One that is not good enough for Ian IMO is Nina, that dumped Him 15 months ago for His friend Derek and then went on to I don't know how many Guys. Ian is and was, to good for Her.

Or maybe we don't know how any of them feel and this is all conjecture. Just because they are celebrities doesn't mean we have the right to make up suggestive stories and pretend we know what is in their hearts or minds.
You can ship Delena because they are fictional characters. You can't ship Nian to the point of cyberbullying, because that's delusional.

I hope Ian and Nina never get back together. Sure, they did make an attractive couple, but so does he and Nikki. If they could not get it together for the time they were together, maybe it was just not meant to be. Somehow I don't feel that Nina truly appreciated him. Ian needs someone to be just as in love with him and he is with them. Nikki may be just that person he is looking for.

Excuse me? They aren't together and she was single. Also, those were just rumors…They have a strong friendship as exes, until nikki reed came in?! She also stated that she liked having strong relationships, not one-night stands.They were probably acts to create jealousy if she even did it>. So stop judging before you actually see it with your own eyes instead of listening to gossip news.
Posted at 6:55 AM on August 2, 2014
Shut up!!Hater!!!Haters try to write nina as whore…She was single.She acted as a normal single woman…And about guys..Nina is linked to every guy she is working together,her co stars,her male friends around her…She is linked to every male friend standing near her,breathing ,walking near her..If you believe what writes stupid unknown source websites,you have no brain…Its your problem ,not Nina's..Nina is single and lives her single life as normal actress…
Posted at 7:04 PM on August 1, 2014
It wouldn't be hard to fall for Ian. He's a sweetheart and any lady would be lucky to have his undivided attention. He seems a beautiful person inside and out. I think he would make a great father one day. So protective and supportive. His family unit would become his whole world that he would only want the best for….which includes his continued stance on making the world a healthier and better place. But enough about Ian, Nikki looks a fine catch herself. Very talented and also has a good heart. But Nik, three dogs and two cats might be a bit hard with a couple that travels and works a lot. Unless you get other people to look after them. Dog also don't belong in small cages in apartments…at any time.
Nina has been in the limelight dating other guys sense they broke up, if Ian has been dating (previous to Nikki) he's kept it out of the media. Ian wants to get married and have a family. Nina isn't ready to settle down, her career is just starting. Nina needs to do the right thing and let Ian get what he wants out of life. I'm sorry it has to be one of both of their closest friends, but the heart wants what the heart wants. I just hope that Nina doesn't ruin her life and reputation throwing herself at any man who looks her way. Let him go Nina, you wanted a career – put your focus there.
Posted at 11:45 AM on August 1, 2014
Plus in all previous interviews Ian told the reporter and his fans at conventions that he is not the type of guy you want to live with due to all of his commitments. Why does it state they are going to adopt a rescue dog together when she has been on the net trying to find someone to adopt a dog she is friends with. Talk about conflicting reports to confuse everyone and look like they are all liars.
Posted at 11:40 AM on August 1, 2014
It seems like Nikki is being "pushy." Every time there is an article about the relationship from Nikki's point of view it is like she is already married to him. Yes, Ian is getting older and looking to start a family, but Nikki just got out of a marriage. On the net it only states she filed for divorce and nothing about it being finalized. I just hope that if it doesn't work out that they find out before it gets any further. I hate to see Ian get heartbroken again. Besides this to me looks like a rebound relationship for both with Nikki just split from her husband and Ian from Nina. The day or two before the pics it was on the net that Nina and Ian were back together and taking things slow this time and now he is completely head over heels in love with Nikki. Gotta love it.

It suits the Nian shippers needs and fairytales to believe Celebrity Dirty Laundry. Close fans of both know deep down they were finished back in May last year. God, just look at their actions, and when did they ever spend time together that wasn't on set after the break up? This recent hiatus couldn't have put them on further sides of the world with no interest in each other. Nian fans can't be helped though. Ian will be married to someone else one day and it will still all be about his love for Nina.

Constable & Robinson to launch new commercial fiction list, Canvas
Thursday 8th Dec 2011Constable & Robinson are proud to announce the launch of a new commercial fiction list, Canvas. The announcement follows the appointment of Victoria Hughes-Williams in May as Commissioning Editor. Fiction Publisher James Gurbutt said 'Victoria's role and the launch of Canvas form part of a long-term objective to grow the business and to diversify our fiction offerings. The new list will be predominately women's fiction – focusing on the mass market – an area in which, until now, we have not had a presence.'
Canvas complements the existing fiction lists: the Robinson crime list led by Krystyna Green and the literary imprint Corsair started by Gurbutt in 2009.
The Canvas list will initially publish 12 new titles a year, in print and digital formats. It will launch in May 2012 with The Summer of Secrets by Alison Lucy, followed by the paperback outing of French Lessons by Ellen Sussman and Sworn Secret from debut author Amanda Jennings. Hughes-Williams has also acquired the 666 Park Avenue series, where Upper East Side witches rule New York high society, and has signed up Barbara Delinsky in a two-book deal. Katie O'Rourke, whose novels explore dark familial secrets, also joins the list – her three complete novels will publish in quick succession in 2012. Lost and Found, a heart-rending, darkly humorous novel by debut author Tom Winter will publish in 2013.

The University of Central Arkansas has entered into consortium agreements with other institutions of higher learning to enhance the educational opportunities of students participating in the program(s) covered in the agreement. UCA currently has two consortium agreements, which are listed in the policy. The "Home" institution is the school that is designated to process financial aid applications for otherwise eligible students enrolled in a consortium program.
All current policies relating to course attendance, withdrawal from a course or the institution, residential living, course materials, and tuition and fees shall apply, unless the situation is deemed an exceptional one and is supported by appropriate and acceptable documentation. In all cases, except for the closing of the University, it is the responsibility of the student to submit a request for any exception to existing policy.
Students receiving federal financial aid at the University of Central Arkansas are required to read the Required Reading document appropriate for the year/term in which funds are accepted. This document contains important information regarding your aid.
The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 changed the way federal funds are to be handled when a recipient of federal financial aid withdraws from school. The new rules assume that a student earns his or her aid based on the period of time he or she remained enrolled. Unearned Title IV funds, other than work-study, must be returned.
Federal regulations require students to be making satisfactory progress toward the completion of a degree or certificate program in order to receive Title IV aid. Title IV programs include: Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Work Study, Perkins Loans, Stafford Loans, and PLUS Loans. A student's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is reviewed at the end of each term. When a student's academic performance does not meet the requirements of this policy, they will become ineligible to receive federal financial aid.
The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended ("HEA"), Title IV, Part G., Section 487(a)(25), requires the University of Central Arkansas ("UCA") to administer and enforce the above code of conduct to govern educational loans. UCA's officers, employees, and agents shall comply with this code of conduct.

It's always best to check in the morning and two hours after each meal to get the best handle on how your blood sugar levels are running.
Having said that, the dawn phenomenon is one of the more puzzling aspects of diabetes, but also one of the easier ones to fix -- usually. A snack before bed helps, but it needs to be a specific kind of snack: a protein based one. Peanut butter on crackers, a piece of cheese, a piece of lean meat or a handful of nuts are all great choices. What this does is it gives the liver something to do besides dump glucose, since it is working to help metabolize the protein.
A diabetic with high fasting readings can always try the late snack first, since it won't run the glucose up, and check the results for several days, to see if he or she is experiencing DP.

Answered by
Sheikh Sulaymân al-`Isâ, professor at al-Imâm University in Riyadh
The majority of the scholars hold the opinion that the whole body of the woman is `awrah in prayer. However, they all agree that she may uncover her face. Ibn `Abd al-Barr asserts that there is juristic consensus (ijmâ') on this issue. He writes: "They have agreed that the woman may expose her face in prayer."
Regarding the hands, there have been some scholars who have considered them to be part of the `awrah of the woman, ruling that they should be covered. However, the vast majority of the scholars hold the opinion that they are not `awrah.
Likewise, a decent majority of scholars agree that the feet do not have to be covered. This is the opinion preferred by Ibn Taymiyah. I also support this opinion. Nevertheless, it is preferred for the woman to cover her feet in prayer.
In case the woman prays where strangers can see her, then should cover her face in the same way that she does at other times when she is in public and not in prayer.
The evidence that a woman must cover her `awrah in prayer is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Allah will not accept a prayer from a woman who (has reached the age where she) menstruates except with wearing her head covering." [Related in the four Sunan compilations and Musnad Ahmad. It was classified as good hadîth by al-Tirmidhî and authenticated by Ibn Khuzaymah]
The meaning of the phrase "a woman who menstruates" is an adult woman. In other words, the prayer from any women after attaining puberty will not be accepted without her wearing her head covering. The word used for "head covering" is khimâr, which is a cloth that covers the head and the neck.
The following has been cited as evidence by some of those who support that the feet need to be covered from the top: It was related that Umm Salamah asked the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Could a woman pray in a gown and a head covering without a waistcloth?"
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Yes, if the gown is long and covers her feet from above." [Sunan Abî Dâwûd].
However, Ibn Hajr, as quoted in Subul al-Salâm, says regarding this hadîth: "The scholars have concluded that these words are not attributable to the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself."
Therefore, it does not stand as evidence.
And Allah knows best.

Can we not talk about healthy relationships now?
I wanted to share this with the Shameless world since I'm a little baffled by the occurence.
Recently I wrote a piece for a place that shall remain nameless. In it I recounted my recent trip to the United States and all the great Native youth engagement work, which happened to include the cultural and spiritual journey my partner and I have decided to embark on.
The comment I received back went something like this "You need to refocus your writing since you seem to dwell too much on your boyfriend and that's nobody's business".
Not once did I even say anything REMOTELY romantic. Not once did I refer to my own feelings about him. I didn't even say his name. I like to keep it real so if he happened to be there while community work was going on and positively contribute to it, I'm going to say it. Just like I referenced what everybody else did.
This is the first time I've ever received feedback of this nature, and anyone who knows me knows that I'm a pretty staunch independant feminist, who is always about business. I've actually been chastised for being "too political" when I talk (as a recent interviewer told me) and never share anything personal. So lately I've been making a concerted effort to share a little more.
What bothers me the most though is that it seems in pop culture, we only hear about romantic or intimate relationships when they are either grossly lovey-dovey, or when they are bad. We rarely hear about solid partnerships where people are okay just living life together, or actively being part of stuff that is actually important to the other person. In my case, my partner happens to be part of my culture and also part of the shift of youth in our community that are making their way back to it. I'm part of that too! And it's a beautiful and necessary thing.
I thought I could be political, a feminist, and have a healthy relationship all at the same time. And you know what's funny? We continuously hear from youth across the board of sexual health education that the one thing they never learn about is healthy relationships, and it's something they'd really like to talk about.
I wonder why that is?

5 One of the best console RPGs of its generation, now portablePosted: 06/02/2014You play as Luke Fabre, a duke to the kingdom of Kimlasca, born into nobility who has lived a sheltered life, you find out early on that he was kidnapped when he was younger, and as a result he only remembers the past 7 years of his life. While amnesia is typically used to explain gameplay features within the narrative, its effect on Luke is a driving aspect of the plot. It renders him foolish, vulnerable, and easily manipulated. Each member of ToA's cast has their own issue. No one, heroic or villainous, is what they appear to be.Luke's growth throughout the story is interesting, and breaks a lot of common RPG cliches and tropes. He starts off arrogant and rather self-centered but you do see some interesting changes with his character throughout the story as various events unfold.The game also centers itself around a philosophy, in which your destiny is sort of vaguely determined at birth, this is followed by the majority of the games citizens without anyone questioning its validity. It leads to some interesting plot points, especially if following it truly brings peace or not.The basic plot is mostly stopping a war between the two major countries, however, more serious things are happening behind the scenes which threatens virtually every living thing.Most of the game is spent traveling from town to town, killing most things along the way. Combat is one of key points to a Tales of game, they're fast paced and are very entertaining, most of the time you'll find yourself wandering towards enemies to fight. Each character is unique, and play rather differently. With the C-Cores and AD Skills, which you gain by levelling, you can change which skills you get earn during the game, leaving plenty of interesting options available.Tales of the Abyss is an amazing RPG, a must buy for any 3DS owner. It's story is a clever deconstruction of ideas used in countless other RPGs. The combat is engaging enough without being repetitive. The side quests are a welcomed edition, none feeling out of place to pad the game, adding to an already lengthy game. This port may not take full advantage of the 3DS, many menus are not touch screen compatible and the transition to 3D can make it look a little dated at times. Despite that, this is still arguably one of the best RPGs on this handheld easily.
3 On the fence still.Posted: 17/11/2010The technology behind Kinect is impressive and it has the potential to deliver entirely unique experiences that the several motion camera experiments that have already been made for video games consoles never could have come close to. The issue is that none of the games are attempting to offer a compelling experience and Microsoft is doing everything to make their core base of gamers feel excluded from the experience.My honest suggestion for those who are still on the fence is to wait it out until next year (when the bigger releases pile on; Kinect Star Wars, etc.). Because right now there is certainly no rush to buy this (that is, if you're into motion controls in the first place). No game release as of yet is going to make you certainly rush to the shops just to buy the Kinect.My concern is finding out how well the Kinect will do in the games department months down the line. Will it continue to give us shovelware like the Wii did? Or will it, in time, bring better and brighter experiences in the gaming world. It's hard to say.
2 Disappointed.Posted: 15/10/2008I had planned on writing up a review for this game, and I suppose this can be considered a review of some sort, but I decided I would rather just make a pros and con list. This is my opinion after playing the game for 36 hours:[Pros]:-Fun combat system. It's not as innovative or unique as they try to market it, but it's fun nonetheless. It mostly only applies to melee classes, magic users still have a standard MMO feel to them (from what I've heard)- Best graphics for an MMO to date. The game looks good; characters, environments, it's all pretty. However, it takes a damn good PC to run the game at max settings with a high frame rate. Keep that in mind.- A decent character creator. I wasn't wowed by it, but it good enough.That's basically it for the pros. I'm having a very hard time coming up with anything else to praise besides one of the core aspects of the game, combat, was actually interesting and mildly entertaining. It was a fresh of breath air from other MMO games, but it's not something that will make you suddenly hate how any other MMO is played after playing this. At least not for me.[Cons]:-- Tons of bugs and glitches and game exploits. People have power leveled to 80 (max level) within a couple days because of exploits in certain classes. People have gotten stuck in places (me included). People have lost money in the game. Quests are broken. Now, I understand it's an MMO and most MMO games have rough starts, but seriously, there are a lot of bugs that could have easily been squashed during beta. How were these overlooked?- Lame UI. No customization to it.- Lame chat box. The chat box has already had an update from a patch to make better because of how many complaints there was for it, but it's still subpar. There needs to be more options for it. Cliche as it might be, it needs to take a lesson from WoW.- Poor party system. If the people in your party aren't 50 feet from you, they don't show up on your radar or map. It can be a burden to find them.- PvP is a wreck at this point. Some people disagree, they will tell you to "learn 2 play", but I can play video games just fine, and this PvP system is in dire need of a change. Besides the balance issues (which are expected for an MMO at launch) the combat system, the good part of the game, does not mesh well for PvP. If you're melee, a lot of people will escape you. Unless both people stand still and fight, it's extremely hard to pull off your special moves (called combos) on them. If you run in circles, strafe, try to dodge, like you should be doing, it's almost impossible to use combos, you just have to use basic attacks to try and win a fight, and that's boring.- Quests are no better than any other MMO. This doesn't bother me too much, but I'm sure it's something others won't like. They are your basic fetch, kill, and messenger quests. Nothing new.- You need somewhat of a "super computer" to play this with reasonable fps, I spent over £500 for completly new hardware, graphics card etc. -- Bugs galore! - broken quests, pvp, craft, stats.Overall, I felt stupid buying this game, for such a big hype, it's let me and many other gamers frustrated. I've spent possibly $545.99 altogether to play this, a failure by FunCom.However, the game still has enjoyable points that I enjoyed while playing, a unique combat system & character creation.

rain head mount & polished nickel questions
I am in the process of purchasing Rohl Polished Nickel hand free 3 func shower set/rod; 8 inch rain head; thermostatic control and 2 volume controls for my shower.
1. I need help deciding if 8 inch is wide enough to enjoy the rain shower experience. I am concerned that if I go larger, I will have an issue with less pressure causing it to be less enjoyable.
2. I also don't know whether to ceiling or wall mount it.
3. If I do wall mount it, how long should the arm be?
4. If I ceiling mount on 8 foot ceiling, how long is the arm?
5. Is there a disadvantage to a arm with a hook rather than a straight design w/wall mounting?
6. Can I mix other vendor hardware - is polished nickel the same across vendors?
1. 8" is a bit small. It depends on what you are looking for though. The more concentrated spray from a smaller head can be quite nice, just not the whole body feeling you get from a larger one. We did a 10" in our master bath but we did a 7" in a tub/shower where we did not want to have a door and wanted the water to come straignt down to reduce overspray. They both feel really nice, just different.
2. Ceiling mount is a cleaner look, so if you can do that, it would be better, in my view. However, if you are unsure about using a rainhead, then a wall mount would let you change out to a regular head later on.
3. Long enough to stand away from the wall. The 15" arm is what I would do.
4. They come in varying lengths. Hansgrohe makes the mounts at 4" and you can stack them if you want. I just use one 4". It depends on the height of your ceilings and the people who will be using the shower. I used a 4" mount on an 8" ceiling.
4. Not sure why there would be.
6. They are not the same.
Our rain showerhead will be installed this week so I'm still waiting to find out if we made a good choice but here are my thoughts...
1. I need help deciding if 8 inch is wide enough to enjoy the rain shower experience. I am concerned that if I go larger, I will have an issue with less pressure causing it to be less enjoyable.
Besides the diameter of the head, there are also varying numbers of nozzles and also the GPM rating to consider. I would look for the highest GPM, which seems to be 2.5, from what I found.
2. I also don't know whether to ceiling or wall mount it.
3. If I do wall mount it, how long should the arm be?
I also prefer the look of a ceiling mount but agree with nycbluedevil.
4. If I ceiling mount on 8 foot ceiling, how long is the arm?
It will depend alot on the height of the rainhead that you choose because I found that they vary quite a bit. We have a tiled 8' ceiling and just had to choose a different rainhead because we decided to go with a shower door that went right up to our soffit. The door cleared the 5" stub left by the plumbers but none of us realized at the time that our rainhead was unusually tall. We ultimately found a rainhead with a lower profile and won't be using an arm at all.
5. Is there a disadvantage to a arm with a hook rather than a straight design w/wall mounting?
I can't think of a disadvantage other than any limitations (outside walls, etc) you might have on where you could run your plumbing.
- Can I mix other vendor hardware - is polished nickel the same across vendors?
It's not the same across vendors but it can still be mixed in many cases. We have all Sigma faucets but will use a Jado rainhead in place of the Sigma rainhead. Jado calls their polished nickel "platinum nickel" but it goes just fine with my Sigma faucets. Sitting side by side with my Sigma rainhead, it might look ever so slightly cooler in tone but that would never be noticeable once it's installed. If you decide to mix vendors, I'd just make sure that one (or both) have a return policy if you don't like how they match.
Here is a link that might be useful: My previous thread about rainheads
The Rohl shower head arms for wall mounting the rain head are either 12 or 20 inches so I guess I have to use 20 inches since 12 would put be me nose to wall under a rain head. I am using a separate hands free shower set on a rod so I can get a pressurized shower from that.
I was told by Rohl that the spray from an 8 or 12 inch rain head is the same since the can fills up and the outflow is 2.5 either way.
i have found that there is MUCH less variation in finish with the polished nickel finishes than with brushed nickel and stainless...
we have cifial PN faucets and shower head, a hansgrohe handheld shower, RH switch plates, alno knobs, and a TP holder i picked up at lowes i think and they all seem to 'match' color/finish wise very, very well...
Thanks. I decided to go with a ceiling mount on my shower head.
1. So now I have to decide between Rohl 8" anti-cal rain shower head vs Danze 10" rain head. Would prefer bigger, but afraid of losing pressure on larger head. I called Rohl back and they gave me contradictory info on whether the flow was affected. Also, is anti-cal worth staying w/Rohl smaller head?
2. If I hang it 6" off my 8' ceiling, isn't that too high? I am only 5' tall, but my husband is 6'. Can't I use a 12" rod? Won't it splash over the shower doors if I only go 4-6" off the ceiling?
3. Speaking of glass shower doors, how high do they go?
Thanks everyone. The order went in yesterday. I thought I was going to faint when I saw the total. But, my fault for picking Rohl I guess. I went w/a ceiling mount w/6" rod because I am 5' tall, if it ends up being too long, I could swap it out for a 4 inch or maybe cut it. I also went with Rohl 8" anti-cal rain head in polished nickel at the advice of the salesperson. I just have to get going on the doors next.

Practice stress management as a family.
Chronic stress has reached epidemic proportions in families all over America. The sheer number of 5PM-Friday, Facebook sign-offs that detail looming rounds of binge drinking is alarmingly high.
Many parents have the double bonus of long work-hours and attention-seeking children which can easily cause stress and disregulation in even the most Zen grown-up.
During our less-than-perfect moments, physical reactions occur in the body to let us know that we're veering off course. Blood pressure rises, the brain is flooded with cortisol and adrenaline, the immune system inflames, the digestive system shuts down and a person loses all ability to think, remember, learn and process logically or creatively.
These reactions are a protective mechanism meant to save us from real harm by activating our fight, flight or freeze response. These physical changes are meant to motivate us into action. That action is meant to get the brain back "on-line" so that we can resume our goal of family peace and tranquility. The problem is, acute stress protects and chronic stress destroys.
How can you prevent stress from ruining health and your relationship with your kids?
By practicing stress management with sensory regulation tools.
The neurological system is affected by three things: glucose (food), sensory stimulation (activity/exercise) and oxygen.
Follow these easy steps to calm yourself when emotions are running high:
- Actively notice when you are reaching your breaking point. Your body will give you clues that you're about to exit the off-ramp onto Disregulation Blvd. Your heart may start beating fast, you may feel your temperature rise, your chest may tighten or you may feel like you want to bolt for the nearest door.
- Oxygen is the most influential regulator of all! Start by breathing - inhale deeply, breathing through your diaphragm (into your belly) and exhaling fully, contracting your abdomen. Repeat until your body begins to relax and your mind returns to a state of well-being and tranquility.
- Practice self-empathy. Acknowledge your feelings and fears without judgment. Allow your emotions to funnel up and out of your body. Judgment about what you are feeling only adds to fear and stress. Accept all of your emotions (fear, rage, anger, love, sadness) and feel them fully.
- Find a physical/sensory outlet. Exercise, use a punching bag, run, jump rope, wash your face/hands, blow bubbles, suck on a lollipop/popsicle, take a shower, listen to classical music, ring Tibetan bells or a singing bowl, meditate, look at pictures that make you happy - your child as an infant or family photos.
- Ask yourself what you really need in the moment. What will happen if you don't get it? Acknowledging your unmet needs is crucial to moving on to the problem-solving phase.
Once your body and brain begin to regulate, you can answer the question of what to do next. What action can you take right now to change your situation?

The guidance attached to this bulletin continues to apply to federal savings associations.
On July 6, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council issued the attached guidance entitled, "Policy Statement on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Methodologies and Documentation for Banks and Savings Institutions." Developed in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the policy statement clarifies the agencies' expectations and provides guidance regarding methodologies and documentation support for the ALLL.
The policy statement does not change the guidance in GAAP, previous joint interagency statements or the consultation provisions between the SEC and the banking agencies included in Section 241 of the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act. In this regard, it recognizes that:
Financial institutions should find that this guidance not only improves their ALLL process, but also helps safeguard against regulatory criticism regarding the ALLL. Also, while the guidance applies to all banks, it recognizes that smaller institutions need only adopt methodologies and documentation practices that are appropriate for their size and complexity. For institutions with fewer and less complex lending operations and products, the amount of supporting documentation for all the ALLL may be less comprehensive than for more complex situations. Several examples are provided in the guidance.
For more information, contact Richard Shack, senior accountant, or Louise Francis, national bank examiner at (202) 649-6280.

text: In July 1754, Samuel Johnson held the first classes in a new schoolhouse adjoining Trinity Church, located on what is now lower Broadway in Manhattan. There were eight students in the class. At King's College, the future leaders of colonial society could receive an education designed to "enlarge the Mind, improve the Understanding, polish the whole Man, and qualify them to support the brightest Characters in all the elevated stations in life." One early manifestation of the institution's lofty goals was the establishment in 1767 of the first American medical school to grant the M.D. degree. The American Revolution brought the growth of the college to a halt, forcing a suspension of instruction in 1776 that lasted for eight years. However, the institution continued to exert a significant influence on American life through the people associated with it. Among the earliest students and trustees of King's College were John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States; Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury; Gouverneur Morris, the author of the final draft of the U.S. Constitution; and Robert R. Livingston, a member of the five-man committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence.

Cloud Computing Basics—Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Generally, good programming is considered to be the measured application of an art form, craft or discipline, with the objective of producing a competent and evolving business solution. In traditional environments, computer programming is a practice that has multiple phases, such as designing, developing, testing, debugging and maintaining application code. We programmers use programming languages like C, C++, C#, Java, Python and Smalltalk to create business applications. The process of writing code often requires proficiency in many diverse subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, runtime environment, specific algorithms, programming languages and proper logic.
Figure 1. Programming
In addition, developing and deploying applications is a complex, expensive and time-consuming task. Business applications require hardware resources, operating systems, databases, middleware, Web servers and other software. Once the technology stack and hardware resources are available, a team of developers needs to navigate frameworks, such as J2EE and .NET, for development. A dedicated team of network, database and IT management experts keeps resources and applications available.
Inevitably, business requirements will require changes in the application, which results in a lengthy development, testing and re-deployment cycle. Furthermore, large organizations need specialized facilities to house their data centers and a team to maintain them. A gigantic amount of electricity is used to power the servers as well as to keep them cool.
If you think the complexities end here, then wait. A failover site holds significant importance to mirror the data center so that information and resources can be replicated in case of disaster. Applications built with these complexities are difficult to scale for usage spike demands, fragile to update, and difficult to make mobile and social as business needs change.
Modern Application Programming and Its Challenges
Modern programming has changed in a different manner due to the explosion of devices. Expanding data and new business requirements need different approaches from the previous era. Considering either the traditional approach or modern approach, business applications must satisfy some fundamental properties, such as automation, reliability, robustness, performance and availability. Unfortunately, even in modern times, automated build and test environments don't exist in many organizations, and best practices are not applied everywhere in the software development life cycle.
It is important to understand that an application's reliability depends on the accuracy of algorithms, fewer programming mistakes, the implementation of security best practices, and avoiding logic errors, such as division by zero. Anticipating errors, such as incorrect or compromised data and unavailability of resources, increases robustness. How well application developers and IT teams manage robustness holds more significance in achieving the application's objectives. Efficiency, performance, maintainability, portability and availability of an application are equally important in modern environments. Cloud computing is a revolutionary approach that provides a ray of hope for organizations dealing with these modern challenges.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

TROY, NY — Nineteen times the Albany Devils have carried a lead into the third period and only once … just once, have they not skated away with two points. Entering Friday's matchup against the Utica Comets, the second-place Devils are 18-0-0-1 when leading after two periods.
The team's ability to close dates back to last season when it went 20-1-0-3 in those games.
"I think it's the style of play we play," said assistant captain Chris McKelvie. "We kind of lock it down and I think we play a fast, smart, pretty physical game. It certainly helps in the third period, especially, when you have the lead."
Albany has established its leads by outscoring opponents 38-31 in the first and 41-33 in the second period. The team has closed out games by besting the competition 31-25 in the final frame.
Defenseman Brandon Burlon indicated there is a time when the team switches from "attack" to "defend."
"In the third period if you have a comfortable lead, you don't want to take any chances or forfeit it in anyway," he said. "You are always trying to protect it. You aren't just run and gun; attack, attack, attack. It's part of being a hockey player and reading the game and knowing the score."
The Devils resume preparation for the upcoming three-in-three weekend with a morning skate Friday at Knickerbacker Ice Arena.
• With 37 games under his belt this season, McKelvie is already having a record season. He has his career-high marks with six goals, seven assists and 37 points.
"My role is to have really good energy for the team with good consistent minutes and provide good penalty killing," McKelvie said. "When you pay attention to details it helps create some offense."
• While Albany practiced, New Jersey announced that Mike Sislo was returned on loan to the AHL Devils. Sislo, who was recalled on Jan. 3 and made his NHL debut that same day, ranks tied for third on Albany with 20 points, backed by nine goals and 11 assists.

Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
The striking prairie coneflower occurs in every county in North Dakota. This plant is another of those species that are generally distributed on the grasslands of the Great Plains and locally distributed at scattered sites far to the east. Plants also can be found from British Columbia south to Arizona, at elevations up to 7,000 ft.
Prairie coneflower is a perennial about a foot and a half tall. Several stems usually grow from the crown of a taproot. Leaves about three inches long are divided into five to nine narrow leaflets. The upper one-third of the stem is bare except for the flower heads. The flower heads consist of several hundred tiny purplish-brown flowers that form a cylinder about one inch long. At the bottom of the cylinder appear about a half-dozen bright yellow rays about an inch long. Fruits are tiny, winged achenes about 1/16-inch long.
Prairie coneflower thrives on heavily and moderately grazed pastures in our area. The Cheyenne used the leaves and stems to make snakebite and poison ivy remedies other tribes made tea from the flowers. The plant is sometimes grown as an ornamental.
The coneflowers are members of the huge sunflower family (Asteraceae). Aster means "star" in Greek in reference to the radiate arrangement of the flowers into heads. The genus Ratibida was named by an odd eccentric wanderer-botanist named Constantine Rafinesque-Schmaltz (1773-1840), who often assigned unexplained names to plants. The specific epithet columnifera means "bearing columns" in botanical Latin in reference to the long cylindrical flower heads. Prairie coneflower was first collected for science by the English botanist Thomas Nuttall (1786-1859) who visited what now is North Dakota in 1810-1811.

What is an exclusive, anyway?
This is more than journalism competition issue. As readers sort through the news gusher, it's getting harder than ever to figure out what the new news is.
The Toyota story is a perfect illustration. The carmaker is caught squarely in a global media storm and has been for weeks. Any business news outlet worthy of the name is competing to advance this story, even a little bit. Put it this way, Factiva finds 1,558 Toyota stories—today.
On February 13, Bloomberg ran a story tagged "exclusive" under this headline:
Regulators Hired by Toyota Helped Halt Acceleration Probes
Actually, nothing in the headline is exclusive at all.
And you'd really have to squint to find anything exclusive in the story, which starts this way:
Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) — At least four, U.S. investigations into unintended acceleration by Toyota Motor Corp. vehicles were ended with the help of former regulators hired by the automaker, warding off possible recalls, court and government records show.Christopher Tinto, vice president of regulatory affairs in Toyota's Washington office, and Christopher Santucci, who works for Tinto, helped persuade the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to end probes including those of 2002-2003 Toyota Camrys and Solaras, court documents show. Both men joined Toyota directly from NHTSA, Tinto in 1994 and Santucci in 2003.
A reader complained to Bloomberg, and copied me in, pointing out that Reuters had already found Santucci three days before, on February 10:
In one case Chris Santucci, a former U.S. safety regulator hired by Toyota in 2003, played a role in discussions with NHTSA during a 2004 probe in which the agency sharply narrowed the scope of its inquiry, according to his deposition in a lawsuit seeking damages from the Michigan crash.
A couple days earlier, on Feb. 8, The Wall Street Journal, had already found both Santucci and his current boss, Tinto.
NHTSA officials worked on the probe with their main contact at Toyota, Christopher Santucci. The NHTSA team knew Mr. Santucci: He had worked there from 2001 to 2003. Mr. Santucci's supervisor at Toyota, Mr. Tinto, had worked at NHTSA in the past, too. Messrs. Santucci and Tinto didn't respond to requests for comment.
This Associated Press story the same day named Tinto, though not Santucci:
Its main liaison to the federal government on vehicle safety issues is Christopher Tinto, who worked for several years in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation as a vehicle defect investigator and in its Office of Vehicle Safety Standards, where he mostly worked on heavy-truck braking standards.
And before that, on February 4, ABC News had reported, in "Revolving Door: From US Safety Agency to Toyota Representative," on Santucci meeting a former colleague:
Scott Yon, met with two former NHTSA colleagues who worked for Toyota, including Chris Santucci, who had left the agency only six months earlier, according to his testimony in a civil lawsuit.
Which of the above news organizations broke the Toyota/NHTSA story? None of them. As I've written, everyone here is following The Los Angeles Times, which started its reporting back in October.
It had a Santucci sighting on Dec. 31
When attorney Edgar Heiskell went to a Washington law office this month to depose a Toyota Motor Corp. executive, he said he was met by a virtual NHTSA alumni club now working for Toyota. It included at least two former agency attorneys and former defects investigator Christopher Santucci.In the deposition, Santucci said he negotiated a job with Toyota while he was still employed at NHTSA and gave the agency two to three weeks' notice.
And the NHTSA reporting goes back further. This from November 8:
Federal officials eliminated broad categories of sudden-acceleration complaints, including cases in which drivers said they were unable to stop runaway cars using their brakes; incidents of unintended acceleration lasting more than a few seconds; and reports in which owners did not identify the possible causes of the problem.NHTSA officials used the exclusions as part of their rationale to close at least five of the investigations without finding any defect, because — with fewer incidents to consider — the agency concluded there were not enough reported problems to warrant further inquiry. In a 2003 Lexus probe, for example, the agency threw out all but one of 37 customer complaints cited in a defect petition. It then halted further investigation, saying it "found no data indicating the existence of a defect trend."
Meanwhile, fatal crashes involving Toyota vehicles continued to mount.
But, this is not about credit, believe me. For one thing, plaintiffs' lawyers had known about Toyota's problems for years, but that's another column.

The year 1967 was a tumultuous one for Carol Channing. After years of being a popular presence on stage and television, Channing finally achieved movie stardom with her role as the madcap millionaire in "Thoroughly Modern Millie." She would receive an Academy Award nomination for that sparkling and hilarious performance. But 1967 also gave Channing a stunning defeat: producer Ernest Lehman ignored her landmark performance in the Broadway musical "Hello, Dolly!" and announced that Barbra Streisand would take Channing's role in the movie adaptation. Channing reportedly reacted to the news by announcing: "Is there a window I can jump out of?"
Somewhere between the dizzying height and crushing low in 1967 was the TV special "Carol Channing and 101 Men." While the title might suggest some perverse gang-bang activity, the production was actually an entertaining (if decidedly corny and often weird) revue which allowed Channing's decidedly unique talents to shine.
"Carol Channing and 101 Men" came on the high-heels of the star's 1966 TV special "An Evening with Carol Channing." This time around, Channing surrounded herself with an all-male guest list – and, boy, what a bunch of men! There was Walter Matthau, country singer Eddy Arnold, the rock group The Association, the United States Air Force Cadet Chorale, a squad of male dancers, and an unbilled appearance by George Burns. I guess that adds up to 101. It is easy to get the idea the guest list was chosen from scraps of paper picked out of a crumpled hat, but for the most part it works. Sort of.
The one major goof in the show is Walter Matthau, who clearly looks as if he'd rather be doing something else. Matthau's trademark indolence was in overdrive here, to the point that he barely seemed to be paying attention to his surroundings. When required to play a Cagney-style gangster in a 1920s skit or a sawdust melodrama villain in a silent movie spoof, Matthau is so sluggish and visibly bored by his task that his presence is an embarrassment. The most painful part comes when George Burns tries to "teach" Matthau how to act the part of a straight man. Burns and Channing do a third-rate imitation of the patter routine which Burns used to perform with his wife Gracie Allen, pausing to allow Matthau to inherit Burns' role. Channing, great performer that she is, was a woeful substitute for Gracie Allen and both Matthau and Burns are clearly uncomfortable with the act. (Ironically, both men would reteam much successfully nearly two decades later for the film version of "The Sunshine Boys.")
"Carol Channing and 101 Men" also responds to the alpha and omega of 1967's spirit. The youth culture is represented with The Association, introduced by Channing with the comment that "we teenagers are mad about them!" Despite the anachronism of having the band dress up in Victorian garb while running about a Scrooge & Marley-style accounting house, The Association creates a brilliantly effervescent moment in performing their classic tune "Windy." Channing refrains from horning in on this tune (though the notion of having her play the figure "who's bending down to give me a rainbow" can bring smiles or shudders, depending on what floats your boat). But she appears in a psychedelic mini-skirt to dance the frug while The Association turns their song "Along Came Mary" into "Along Came Carol." The number is spiced by having a male dancer in Victorian garb (a young man made up to look elderly) trying to halt Channing's gyrations, only to join her in the loose-limbed dance.
But for viewers who might have been turned off by those long-haired types, "Carol Channing and 101 Men" brings on the crew-cut members of the United States Air Force Cadet Chorale: 80 young men, all very stern in their gaze and composure, who sing out the theme songs of U.S. military branches. Remember this was 1967, when American opinion about military operations in Vietnam was becoming increasingly negative, so having this military presence on-screen was as much of a political statement as a musical number. Channing joins the cadets for a passionate (if somewhat wobbly) rendition of the gospel standard "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands."
Country music star Eddy Arnold shows up to perform "I'm the Richest Man in the World," but that fine solo is followed by Channing roping Arnold into a labored comedy routine in which he teaches her how to reel off Dixie-style aphorisms. Channing gives us "I am happier than an ant in a box lunch" in a ludicrous Scarlett O'Hara-style drawl. (And you wonder why the South lost?)
For the grand finale, Channing gets the entire cast to serenade her with "Hello, Dolly!" in several languages. Having Walter Matthau sing that song to her is wildly ironic, given that he was cast in the "Hello, Dolly!" movie and not her.
"Carol Channing and 101 Men" was broadcast on ABC on November 16, 1967. The network must have thought strongly enough, for it reran the program on February 29, 1968 (Happy Leap Year!). And from there, the show disappeared from official circulation. I do not know the source of the bootlegs which are currently in circulation – no one had VCRs in that era, and the bootleg I have has both the network introduction (alerting viewers "That Girl" and "Peyton Place" were being pre-empted for Channing's revue) and the original commercials hawking Monsanto carpets. The quality of my bootleg (from a private collector who sells his goodies on the Net) is surprisingly strong, with the garish colors typical of 1960s video productions at their brightest hues.
"Carol Channing and 101 Men" also represented something of a last stand for Channing's Hollywood work. In 1968, her appearance in Otto Preminger's poorly received acid-trip comedy "Skidoo!" ended her movie career. She also lost the Oscar to Estelle Parsons' performance in "Bonnie and Clyde." Channing would host two more TV specials in 1969 (a lumpy production in which she was poorly paired opposite Pearl Bailey and something called "Carol Channing Proudly Presents the Seven Deadly Sins"), but after that her TV work was strictly limited to guest appearances on variety and game shows and voice performances in cartoons. For most of her remaining career, she was a fixture on the stage, reviving "Hello, Dolly!" twice for extensive tours following sold-out Broadway runs.
If Channing never found a niche in Hollywood, she can claim goddess stature in the theater. From a personal viewpoint, I can happily recall when my mother took me to see Channing in the 1974 Broadway show "Lorelei." Channing's warmth, humor and star power was more than evident to a little boy like me, and the show remains (to this day) one of my all-time favorite theatrical experiences. "Carol Channing and 101 Men" never comes anywhere close to the rapport which the star conveyed to a live audience, and perhaps that is why Channing was never a Hollywood fixture: some people are best experienced in person and not on a screen. Go figure!
CORRECTION: I received word from a Film Threat reader of a minor boo-boo in a recent column. It seems "The Banana Splits in Hocus Pocus Park" was broadcast again after its initial run on "The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie" – HBO reran in during the mid-1980s. I appreciate the updating on that.

Police and crime commissioner elections: Norfolk
On 15 November, 37 police and crime commissioners will be elected in England along with four in Wales.
The PCCs, as they will be known, will be tasked with scrutinising their force and holding it to account. They will also be able to hire and dismiss the chief constable and set the force's budget.
The commissioners will be paid and are supposed to empower local people into having a say on how crime is tackled in their area.
Nominations for candidates in Norfolk have now officially closed.
BBC News has taken a look at each of the police forces ahead of the elections.
Norfolk Police
At the moment there appears to be very little public interest in electing a police commissioner for Norfolk.
A survey this week by Victim Support found that 90% of those questioned were unclear what a Police and Crime Commissioner would actually do. The parties are fearing a very low turnout - perhaps as low as 20%.
The government hoped these elections would attract strong, independent personalities, people who were well known locally who would enthuse the public. I understand that both Labour and the Conservatives approached local personalities in Norfolk but none were interested in standing.
With no big names, this election will be fought largely along political lines. The Liberal Democrats are still deciding whether to stand.
So the leaflets are being printed, the candidates are rehearsing their lines - now they have to convince their audience that these elections are worth taking an interest in.
Norfolk Constabulary monitors crime in the predominately rural county, which is the fifth largest in England and has a population of 858,000.
Police also have to deal with an influx of holidaymakers during the summer to its coastal resorts and the Norfolk Broads, which has its own specialist Broads Beat.
The constabulary's main priorities for 2012 to 2015 are to reduce re-offending, priority crimes and anti-social behaviour, improve levels of service satisfaction and sustain financial stability.
Norfolk Police is led by Chief Constable Phil Gormley, with Simon Bailey, who looks after performance and standards, second in charge.
Departments in the force monitor community safety, criminal justice and royalty protection, with the Queen's Sandringham Estate based in the west of the county.
Norfolk and neighbouring Suffolk Police also collaborate on many tasks, including major investigations and campaigns.
Norfolk Police's budget for 2012 was set at £145m by Norfolk Police Authority.
The constabulary, which has about 1,500 officers, has been put under pressure to save £25m between 2011 and 2014 and it aims to reduce officer posts by between 150 and 250 over the period.
Instead of opting to take a government grant, the authority increased the council tax precept towards the police in February to 3%, which saw about a 0.4% rise in the public's tax bill.
It said the move was to protect as many services as it could throughout the budget cuts.
The force hopes to save at least £9.8m by merging its support services, including human resources, media and communications and estates and facilities, with Suffolk Police.
Crime and performance
Despite the range of crimes the force has to deal with, Home Office figures show Norfolk is the safest county in England, with a rate of 50 crimes per 1,000 residents.
Timetable for PCC Elections
- There are 41 police and crime commissioner elections taking place - 37 in police force areas in England and four in Wales
- No elections will take place in Scotland, Northern Ireland or London
- Nominations for candidates will close on 19 October
- Voting takes places on 15 November
- PCCs will be elected every four years
This compares to the country's average of 66 per 1,000.
According to January statistics, Norfolk Police is also detecting more crimes than ever, with the force having the sixth highest detection rate in England.
Deputy Ch Con Simon Bailey said: "For the majority of crime categories, Norfolk has seen reductions. Where there have been increases, we have looked at why this may be the case and the analysis proves helpful in understanding the bigger picture.
"There are some categories of crime that people are reluctant to report. These are often related to domestic violence and we are actively working to encourage people to report these crimes so we can better understand them and, ultimately, take measures to break the cycle."
