Supplies of high-quality alfalfa hay in Pennsylvania are low heading into winter months. But they're likely not low enough to move prices significantly higher in the months to come, says Marvin Hall, Penn State University Extension forage specialist. Currently, dairy-quality hay in most parts of the state is selling for just under $200/ton.
Wet weather early in the growing season helped limit production in many parts of the state during 2013. "We were able to put up a lot of hay," says Hall. "In fact, our second cuttings in many areas yielded almost as much as our first cuttings. The problem was all the moisture we had. Getting good dry hay put up was extremely hard for most people. People who put up haylage got good stuff and lots of it."
Dry hay quality improved after rains turned off in mid-July. "But the yields for third cutting weren't nearly what they were in the spring. As a result, we could be a little short."
High-quality hay, at below $200/ton, is down significantly from last February and March prices, when the market peaked at around $400/ton. "The price really hasn't budged in the last couple of months," says Hall. "From the reports I've been hearing, my thinking is that prices could go up slightly as we go through the winter. But we won't see anywhere near the prices of a year or two ago."

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Pope urges faithful to remember 'glorious hope' of Baptism
By (CNA/EWTN News)
January 9th, 2014 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) In his weekly general audience, Pope Francis reflected on the importance of the sacrament of Baptism, highlighting how it is a gift which incorporates us into the body of Christ and impels us to evangelize. VATICAN CITY, January 8 (CNA/EWTN News) - "Let us not forget the great gift we have received," Pope Francis stated during his Jan. 8 general audience, "our baptism has changed us, given us a new and glorious hope, and empowered us to bring God's redeeming love to all."The Pontiff greeted the pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square, announcing the beginning of a new catechesis on the Sacraments, during which he will reflect on each of the seven, beginning with Baptism. Every Catholic baby deserves a crib medal, get one here. "The Second Vatican Council tells us that the Church herself is a 'sacrament,'" he explained, "a grace-filled sign which makes Christ's saving work present in history, through the power of the Holy Spirit." As "the first of the Church's seven sacraments, baptism gives us new birth in Christ," said the Pope, and it "makes us sharers in the mystery of his death and resurrection, grants the forgiveness of sin and brings us new freedom as God's children and members of his Church." "Baptism is the sacrament on which our faith is founded and we are living members of Christ and of his Church," the Pontiff emphasized, highlighting how it is not just "a simple rite or a formal act." "For Him, we dive into the inexhaustible source of life; we come from the death of Jesus. So we can live a new life of communion with God, and with our brothers." Pope Francis noted that although there are many who "don't have the slightest memory of this sacrament," we are all "called to live each day aspiring to the vocation that we receive in Him." "If we follow Jesus and remain in the Church," observed the Pope, "with our limits and our fragilities, and sins.we become new creatures and we are clothed in Christ" through the Sacraments. Drawing attention to the Church's missionary dynamic, the Pontiff explained how "our baptism has changed us, given us a new and glorious hope, and empowered us to bring God's redeeming love to all, particularly the poor, in whom we see the face of Christ." "Our baptism," he continued, "has also given us a share in the Church's mission of evangelization; as disciples, we are also missionaries." "As we celebrate the feast of the Baptism of the Lord this Sunday, let us ask him to renew in us the grace of our baptism and to make us, with all our brothers and sisters, true children of God and living members of his body, the Church." Pope Francis concluded his weekly address by inviting all to experience "in everyday life the grace that we receive in Baptism," and greeted pilgrims present from numerous countries around the world. Turning to those in the Middle East, particularly in Syria, the Pontiff asked that they remember the day of their Baptism and celebrate it, because thanks to this Sacrament "we have all become new creatures in Christ, temples of the Spirit, adoptive children of the Father." We are "members of the Church, brothers in faith and announcers of the Gospel," he affirmed, who are "capable of forgiving and loving all, even our enemies." Get a crib medal for baby before you go!

Which is Healthier: Pumpkin or Pecan Pie?
by Toby Amidor in Thanksgiving, November 22, 2012
These super-popular Thanksgiving desserts are going head to head. With both having single pie crusts and packed with good-for-you ingredients, the competition is fierce. Which gets your vote?
Pumpkin Pie
According to the USDA's Dietary Guidelines for Americans, we should all be eating 2 cups of orange veggies each week. Pumpkin pie can help meet these recommendations plus that brilliant orange color provides the antioxidants vitamin A and lutein.
Fatty ingredients like traditional pastry crust, butter, cream cheese, half-and-half, or shortening can sabotage the nutritional value. Mountains of sugar from canned pumpkin pie filling and spoonfuls of sugary toppings can also send calories through the roof. Topped with whipped cream or a la mode, a slice can weigh in at close to 500 calories.
Healthy Pumpkin Pie Tips:
- Use gingersnap cookies for a lighter crust made without partially hydrogenated oils or make your own canola oil pie crust.
- No need for mounds of sugar—let the sweetness of the pumpkin take over.
- Steer clear of sugary or heavily-sweetened pumpkin pie filling. The canned pumpkin puree should have one ingredient; add your own spices from there.
- Serve with one heaping spoon of freshly made whipped cream and fresh fruit like apples, oranges and pears.
- Try Food Network Kitchens slimmed version.
Pecan Pie
One ounce (about 19 halves) of pecans has 195 calories, 20 grams of fat, and 3 grams of fiber. It provides two-thirds of your daily recommended amount of manganese, an essential mineral that help with blood clotting and helps form bones, connective tissue, and sex hormones. It's also a good source of thiamin and copper. Studies have found that pecans can help reduce your bad (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol.
Pecan pie is traditionally made with a good amount corn syrup and/or brown sugar, which only contributes sugar and calories. Once again, your crust can be a big source of fat, especially artery-clogging saturated fat. Although pecans have many healthy attributes, more doesn't mean it's healthier. Mounds of pecans can contribute to high calories and fat in a pecan pie.
Traditionally prepared pecan pie has about 550 calories. With ½ cup vanilla ice cream, the calories go up to 700. That's 35% of your recommended daily calories just for dessert.
Healthy Pecan Pie Tips:
- Make your own healthier pie crust.
- Use half the amount of sugary ingredients like corn syrup, maple syrup, or sugar.
- If you need to go a la mode, use a light vanilla frozen yogurt or low fat ice cream.
YOU VOTE: Who's the winner? Pumpkin pie or pecan pie?

I owe a lot of thanks to my late Aunt Ellen Parsons for the treasure trove of information that has enabled me to put this family tree together on the Little side of the family and my father William who supplied me with my first taste for doing the family tree by supplying me with most of the Finnie side of the family. At this moment I am trying to get information on my wife's family to add to what I already have. I am currently trying to locate information on "Georgius L Ivanko", now "Evanko". Who came from Austria Hungury with Katrin Nyahay and married in Yonkers, NY on Nov 25 1911. Both were from Novaves or Loosnjfalu, Saros Austria Hungary. I feel that a true family tree shows all branches without nubbs. My aim is to fill in the blanks. |

5Remove Kool Aid out of carpet.
Method 2 of 9: Fat Stains
Fat comes from a variety of foods, including cream, oils, butter, margarine, solid cooking fat, etc.
Method 3 of 9: General Food Stains
Food that is sticky, colorful, mushy, melting, etc. all has a potential to leave stains on the carpet.
1Try to scrape off as much of the food stain as possible before treating it. If the food has been trodden into the carpet, try to pick out pieces before treating. Use the edge of a butter knife, tweezers or similar objects to help you remove the food without further pushing the food into the carpet fibers.
2Remove jam or jelly stains from carpet.
3Remove ketchup or sauces from carpet.
4Remove chewing gum from carpet.
Method 4 of 9: Ink, Paint and Glue Stains
1Remove paint stains from carpet.
2Remove ink stains from carpet.

Ever in a rush to get the makeup on? It's easy to spill makeup on the carpet, and here are some common makeup stains that can be removed:
Method 6 of 9: Wax and Plastic Stains

2Clean up vomit or urine as follows:
Method 8 of 9: Pollen Stains
Lilies are beautiful, but less so when their stamens come into contact with your gorgeous white carpet... React quickly and all will be well.
1Damp the stain with a little kerosene. This step is important if the stain has set. If still fresh, proceed straight to the next step.
2Dab cotton wool dipped in denatured alcohol or methylated spirits over the damp stain.
3Dab dry with a paper towel. Repeat with the denatured alcohol/methylated spirits.
4Continue the dab and dry method until the pollen color lifts. The amount of times you repeat the cleaning will depend on the pollen type.
Method 9 of 9: Other Carpet Stains
Here are some other possible problems you're trying to fix:
We could really use your help!
personal grooming?
beer batter?
- Try to cordon off an area that has been stained before anyone treads on it and makes things worse. Put books, a table or similar items around or over the stain and then get on with removing it. Leave in place until the stain has been fixed and the carpet has dried completely.
- To prevent flower stains on carpet, remove colorful stamens before putting the flowers on display. Slip a plastic bag over the stamens and pull them off while holding the bag, then dispose of.
- Never rub carpet. Rubbing will spread a stain quickly. It also risks breaking down the carpet fibers. Dab gently, always.
Things You'll Need
(The following all depend on the independent instructions):
- Chairs, books, etc. to create a barrier to prevent access to stain area until it is clean and dry
- Soft cleaning cloth
- Butter knife/tweezers
- Gentle detergent or soapy water
- Paper towel
- Salt/cornflour, etc.

The Royal Yacht Britannia, Edinburgh
Tel: 44 131 555 5566
Concierge.com's insider take:
She is now decommissioned, but the Britannia traveled to 600 ports in 135 countries in the 44 years in which she served as the Royal Family's floating palace. A self-led audio-tour guides visitors through the five decks, taking in the luxurious royal living areas and the rather more cramped sailors' quarters. Sir Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Boris Yeltsin, and President Reagan have all eaten with the Queen in the stately dining room where setting the table took three hours for each meal. Apparently, the Britannia is the only place where tourists can see a living monarch's bedroom, although, to be honest, its flowery decor is little different from any other old lady's chamber. The only double bed on board was brought on by Prince Charles for his honeymoon cruise.

Apr. 26, 2013
Pella, Iowa
An RBI single in the 13th inning by junior Weston Foxx broke a 3-3 tie and eventually lifted the Buena Vista baseball team to a thrilling 4-3 victory over Central College in game one on Friday afternoon. The Dutch, however, salvaged a doubleheader split by bouncing back with a 3-1 triumph in game two.
Just as it did on Tuesday at Coe College, the Beavers jumped out to the early lead, getting an RBI single from Brandon Wessels in the first inning for a 1-0 lead.
The advantage jumped to 3-0 in the third when junior Joe Paletta singled home a run before he later came around to score after an error and a fielder's choice.
The Dutch cut the deficit to one with a pair of fifth-inning runs and were down to their last out of the game before coming through with an RBI double in the seventh to force extra innings.
That proved to be the last run until Foxx's game-winner six innings later.
Foxx finished with two of the team's nine hits in the contest, as did fellow junior Ryan Titman.
Junior Jon Ringblom pitched the first eight innings, allowing three runs on seven hits, while striking out seven and walking four. Sophomore Jake Bjorkgren went the final five innings in relief to pick up his second win of the year. He surrendered just two hits and struck out three.
Central pushed across a single run in each of the first three innings and it proved to be just enough. BVU had chalked up the first run – again in the first inning – but couldn't come through with the clutch hit the rest of the way.
One of the team's best chances came in the fourth inning when it had the bases loaded and one out, but Central turned a 6-4-3 double play to end the threat.
Wessels went 2-for-3 with the lone RBI for BVU, which had its three-game winning streak snapped.
Ian Grigsby got the start and dips to 0-3 with the loss, allowing two earned runs on five hits over 2.2 innings of work.
Buena Vista is now 17-15 overall and will go after the series win on Saturday when the team takes on the Dutch for two more games beginning with game one at 1:00pm.

Where's our Leader?
Oh yeah, playing golf. -
Wow, missing the point again, boys?
A report out of Europe criticizes US legislators for slowing the world economy with "self inflicted" wounds.
We do need to reduce the deficit, and there is a great deal of waste, fraud, and abuse in gov't spending. This needs to be done with intelligence, compromise, and a civil exchange of ideas between the parties. However, we only have the Republicans and Democrats to depend on and they are no longer members of the United States. They only care to advance their own parties, and only to the degree that those parties can assist politicians get reelected.
The only thing they on which they will cooperate is keeping Americans divided and afraid that the "other guys" are going to do irreparable harm to our nation and its people. Every day they can go to a forum like this and see neighbors insulting and accusing neighbor is a day they know their tactics are working. This does the most harm of all.
The 20% pay cut is political hype. It is not a 20% annual pay cut, but a 20% cut for a 22 week period. Based on a 2087 hour work year*. The annual pay reduction works out to 4.2%.

Apple Will Now Let Any Teacher Publish Content to iTunes U - Liz Gannes - Mobile. Apple is upping its bid for its hot-selling iPad to be a teaching device, with an update today to its iTunes U app that allows any teacher to create a private course.
The new features, aimed at K-12 teachers who use iPads in the classroom, allow teachers to create up to 12 private courses. Within each course, teachers can point students to curriculum across lots of different (mostly Apple-powered) media such as iBooks, textbooks, apps, videos and Pages and Keynote documents. The new iTunes U also includes a tool for students to take timestamped notes inside a video. Previously, teachers had to go through a verification process to add their lectures to Apple's repository — which over the past six years has accumulated 500,000 audio and video files from 1,000 universities, with 700 million total downloads. Teachers still have to be verified to publish public courses. 48 iPad Apps That Teachers Love #FED_ebooks #Apps #ebook #teacher « First Edition Design eBook and POD Publishing.

RALEIGH (AP) -- The state Court of Appeals has upheld the state and local incentives given to Dell Inc. to build a plant in Winston-Salem, saying the legality of such tax breaks was settled
long ago.
The three-judge panel agreed with a lower-court ruling and threw out the lawsuit filed by former Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr on behalf of some taxpayers. Orr argued the incentives don't meet the legal requirements of serving primarily a public purpose.
Court of Appeals Judge Martha Geer wrote the state Supreme Court settled the lawfulness of taxpayer-funded incentives back in 1996. She says the proper place to debate incentives is now in the General Assembly or within the executive branch.
The unanimous decision means the Supreme Court isn't obligated to consider the case.
Dell could receive more $300 million in incentives over the next 15 years if it creates at least 1,500 jobs at the plant, which opened two years ago.

MEDFORD, Ore. — With Hawthorne Pool closed and Jackson Pool in need of an expansion and overhaul, Medford residents will have to make a decision at the polls this November.
Ballot Measure 15-115 would allow for a $14.5 million bond that would pay for two brand-new swimming facilities. Swim Medford chairman Rich Hansen thinks with a growing population, Medford's pools need more than just a tune-up.
"The cost figures just don't pencil out. The plumbing, the heating the systems are going to fail one of these days. It's not a matter of if it's going to fail, it's a matter of when," said Hansen.
If approved, Medford residents would see their property taxes increase about $31 a year. This measure does not include the more expensive water park proposed in 2011. Medford resident Danna Munn thinks the new pools would have a positive impact on the community.
"If there's going to be some kind of a tax or something, so be it, let's do something for our town" said Munn.
Hansen thinks larger facilities at both the Jackson and Hawthorne Park locations would make sure nobody is turned away.
"They're just too small. Even though this pool is in apparently pretty nice shape, we turn kids away almost every hot summer day because there's just not enough room here," said Hansen.
If approved, the new Jackson Pool would tentatively be set to open on Memorial Day 2014 and the indoor Hawthorne pool on Labor Day 2014.
"Hawthorne Pool is closed, and this pool is going to close before long, and we need to replace them and build new pools. Now is the time to move forward," said Hansen.

Early January is one of those times of the year when I automatically want to make things tidier and more organized so I can focus on my goals instead of looking for things.
Over the last few days I've done a few little DIY projects ranging in price from free to dirt cheap, and I'm surprised, as always, at how much simple, useful little projects like these can add to everyday life! Every time I use of them, I get a little jolt of happy. Easily amused I suppose!
Storing Jewels
One of my new year's goals is to step up my accessorizing — I'm pretty good with earrings, but forget about necklaces and bracelets and such. I think part of the reason is that all my pretty jewels were in an ugly heap!
So I looked around and realized I had this Martha Stewart wire organizer thing from like 8 years ago. Hung it on the inside of my closet door and now look how fancy!
It's so fun to look at my jewels whenever I get dressed now, and more pieces are seeing more play. Goal 1 achieved!
I don't see this particular wire organizer on sale anywhere right now, but there are TONS of ideas online for getting your jewels out of Mt. Ugly and onto the wall where you can see them / grab them / wear them.
* Here is a simple and sweet idea from Re-Nest to turn a grill tray into a jewelry organizer.
* Here's a tutorial for making a jewelry display out of an old window.
* And ooh! Lace stretched in a picture frame! Purdy!
Corralling Thingies
What do you do with your billion little categories of thingies — pushpins, paper clips, remote controls, pencils, rubber bands? Of course it's easier to find them when you need them if they always go in the same place, together with all the other thingies in their category … which is a lofty goal that some day I shall attain! A home for every thingie in my home!
I'm not quite there yet, but these little fabric trays I made using this tutorial from Sew Mama Sew are moving me in the right direction. I used a few to corral my (tiny amount of) photography stuff and the chalk for my new chalk/pin board (see below).
They turned out really cute and took no time at all to make. Also, I used fabric scraps and some fusible fleece I already had on hand, so they were also free!
There are loads of tutorials for these online, too — have a look around and see which style appeals most to you:
* Chick Chick Sewing's version
* Mairuru's Oval Appliqued version
Chalk/Cork Board
This project took so little time and money — less than $40 and 1 hour. And it looks so good and is so useful! I'm quite pleased with it.
What I did was take 6 12 x 12″ cork tiles and mount them to the wall. Then I took a roll of chalkboard contact paper and mounted it directly below the tiles. The end.
I LOVE this feature of my studio and it's helping my workflow so much already!
Have you been doing any projects to help you tidy up for 2012? Whatcha been working on?

your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
Had many meals at this restaurant and no complaints at all.
Staff are friendly and helpful without being 'in your face' while you are eating. Food is always good, with particularly spectacular dosai! My good lady and I usually spend about £30 without drinks, and go home stuffed.

A disaster, really. I am sorry for the waiters, whose attentive service is negated by the monstrous incompetence of the chef. I visited the restaurant with my wife, and we ordered two sampler plates. Out of the several dishes sampled, *not a single one tasted good*. Supermarket Indian food beats Sagar�s offerings hands down. Avoid this place.

This used to be a good restaurant but now the food has deteriorated and the prices have risen. The prices bear no relation to value.The dishes are not individually made and are lukewarm and lacking subtlety.

We wanted to grab a bite before a film at Cineworld, Hammersmith and chose Sagar following recommendations on Twitter. We have tried several south indian places, from the authentic ones in the lanes of Wembley to ones that cater to the western palate like the ones around Percy Street, W1. Actually I think Sagar may have a branch there too...
Anyway the Hammersmith branch was pretty good in my opinion. We ordered a potato boonda starter to share, two mains including one massive paneer paper dosa and two nimbu paanis (lemon drink).
The nimbu paanis were amazing - you could tell fresh lemons had been used. Both dosas were good although in the paneer dosa, they were scrimping on the paneer instead overloading on the potatoes which defeats the purpose of ordering a 'paneer' dosa.
Other than that, it was a good meal. Attentive waiters and although not quite as cheap as some other good vegetarian south india fare you find in London, it is reasonably priced.

Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
By Karen Price, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW Thursday, February 18, 2010 Buzz Up! The Arena Football League is rebooting in April, and new commissioner Jerry Kurz said Wednesday he's confident Pittsburgh will be part of a planned 2011 expansion. "It's pretty far along (in the process)," Kurz said. "We're hoping for them to be a 2011 team, but there are a lot of things it depends on, building availability, things like that. ... But it is a place we will be." Kurz declined to name the ownership group the AFL is in talks with, but confirmed that it is not the Penguins. "We've had two groups apply, but only one serious group, and it's a well-known local business family that has expressed interest before," Kurz said. Part of the reason Kurz is so secure in saying a team will play in Pittsburgh is because of the anticipated opening of the Consol Energy Center. Kurz said it wouldn't make sense to have a new building not being used as much as it should. Yet, Penguins spokesman Tom McMillan said the hockey team, which owns the building and would lease the space to any other teams that played there, has not been contacted by anyone involved with the Arena Football League. "With the new arena, we're obviously looking to bring lots of new and different events to Pittsburgh, so if there's an owner who wanted to talk to us, we'd certainly talk to them," McMillan said. "But we haven't heard from anyone at this point." Pittsburgh hasn't had an arena football team since 1990, when the Gladiators moved to Tampa after four years at the Civic Arena. The Gladiators were one of the league's original four teams. The AFL will return after folding in December 2008. The league will begin play in April with a 16-game schedule and 15 teams from both the former AFL and arenafootball2, with plans to expand in 2011 to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Southern California and Denver. This isn't the first time there's been talk of an AFL revival in Pittsburgh. Steve Greenberg, former Pirates vice president and current professor of sports marketing at Duquesne, said that with the city's appetite for football and the opening of the Consol Energy Center, an AFL franchise could be successful. "For any team playing in a new facility, I think there's a benefit," he said. "People will want to go see the hockey team play, but people will also go to see football, especially if they won't have the availability for hockey tickets. The new facility will be a draw as well as the sport itself." Former Penguins president Tom Rooney, a first cousin to the Steelers' Rooney family, said he does not believe the local NFL team is involved with any potential AFL ownership group. But he also isn't surprised that talk of playing in Pittsburgh has resurfaced. "It did very well for a short time here," Rooney said. "You know how football-crazy Pittsburgh is. It could be successful." More Steelers headlines

Re: Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh needs an NBA team not another football team :chuckle:
Re: Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh seems like a very logical place for an AFL team. While it'll be tough to compete with the major sports teams, it is a stable market. That's what the AFL has to be looking for considering they went under because of financial problems.
Re: Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
Re: Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
I REALLY know what your talking about with pissnogle in college though :doh: he always played well against pitt |
Re: Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
(Haven't been on here in awhile... it's good to be back. anyways...)
I think it'd be pretty cool for Pittsburgh to get an AFL team. I was a season ticket holder for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers minor league AFL team before they ceased to exist after last year. Just another Pittsburgh team to cheer on! |
Re: Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
I'd get season tickets. No doubt.
Re: Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
I'd go see this team. It would be nice to have a reason to believe one team that starts the year in April could compete for titles year after year.
Re: Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
They would also need a rival located in Ohio.
Re: Arena Football League looking at Pittsburgh
This would be cool, but like someone else indicated before, I'd rather see an NBA expansion into Pittsburgh.

Put my Florida account (tv and internet) on seasonal suspension on 17april2013.
The May bill (advance payment for May-June) was for the full amount (non-suspended) and did not have credit for the suspended service for April-May.
Discussed this with phone rep on friday 10may2013 and was told would be corrected.
As of today, balance still shows full amount owed - no correction.
This is unacceptable business practice. Has this happened to others?
you cant look at your bill online, its not updated real time.

Actually sometimes it is updated in real time. It always has been for me when I've called and ended up with a credit. The last time, which was in April, I saw the credit get listed under Pending payments and credits when I was still on the phone talking to the agent.
The time before that, also in April, a pending credit appeared within 5 minutes of me hanging up the phone.
And I also have seen Pending Charges updated in real time. Again, in April, 2 for a change of service fee showed up even though I did not make any service changes. One was charged a few hours after I had paid my bill and had not been there the day before. Someone pushed the wrong button when I called and the system saw it as a service change. I was able call each time I saw Pending Charges and get them taken care of-long before the next bill was generated. When I got the bill, they showed up as credits. And they also immediately showed up as credits online.
I've also seen PPV charges show up in the bill summary under Pending Charges when PPV's have been ordered sometime during the service period.
The total of the bill isn't updated until the next bill comes out. But pending charges and credits do get updated.

Country & WesternCountry & Western WaltzA beautiful, graceful, and elegant dance, the Country Western Waltz differs in one major aspect from other ballroom style waltzes. The C/W Waltz travels continuously AROUND the dance floor in the "line of dance", whereas in ballroom styles the dance is done in more of a box pattern around the dance floor. Night Club Two-StepThe dance position for Nightclub Two Step is with a more relaxed hold than typical ballroom dances. This dance was initially developed by Buddy Schwimmer in the mid-1960s. The dance is also known as "Two Step" and was "one of the most popular forms of contemporary social dance" as a Disco Couples Dance in 1978. A classic example is the song "Lady In Red". Progressive Double Two-StepThe Progressive Double Two is a type of country and western dance popularized in the Dallas Fort Worth area. It typically consists of 6- and 8-count dance patterns. The basic 6-beat pattern consists of two shuffle steps (counted as "1 and 2", "3 and 4") with the woman being led by an arching one quarter semicircle clockwise then counterclockwise followed by two walking steps (counted "5, 6"). Triple Two-StepTriple two-step is also called double two-step and it's also called the shuffle or the Fort Worth shuffle. Like the polka and like the standard two step, the triple two-step progresses around the perimeter of the dance floor in a counterclockwise fashion. |

Apple Faces Real Competition, and It's Not Microsoft
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- While Steve Ballmer feebly attempts to justify years of mismanagement at Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report), Google (GOOG) continues to execute its not-so-sneaky end-around that could ultimately force Ballmer out of a job and finally provide competition for Tim Cook at Apple (AAPL - Get Report).
Google introduced Chromebook Pixel on Thursday. In and of itself, that's not a big deal. This device will not change the game. It will not stop very many, if any, MacBook purchases from happening, though it, along with Google's less expensive line of laptops, will eventually gain traction against PCs, particularly ultrabooks.
Matt Baxter-Reynolds wrote an interesting article for
Clarification: Tech geeks and their sympathizers are talking about Chromebooks. As for the rest of the population, they either do not know or can faintly recall that they even exist. If Google wanted to pique the masses' interests, it could have used its firepower to do something less convoluted and more creative than purposely producing something that's not very good.

Induction of molecular chaperones is the characteristic protective response to environmental stress, and is regulated by a transcriptional program that depends on heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), which is normally under negative regulatory control by molecular chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90. In metazoan species, the chaperone system also provides protection against apoptosis. We demonstrate that the dual function co-chaperone/ubiquitin ligase CHIP (C-terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein) regulates activation of the stress-chaperone response through induced trimerization and transcriptional activation of HSF1, and is required for protection against stress-induced apoptosis in murine fibroblasts. The consequences of this function are demonstrated by the phenotype of mice lacking CHIP, which develop normally but are temperature-sensitive and develop apoptosis in multiple organs after environmental challenge. CHIP exerts a central and unique role in tuning the response to stress at multiple levels by regulation of protein quality control and transcriptional activation of stress response signaling.

text: An approximation of the environmental problems, and possible solutions, that face us in this century. Each little environmental problem is repeated in the same pattern over and over again, in varying scales, all across the world. Each little drop adds to the problem. On the other end, each little solution contributes to the bigger global solution. The three colors stand for the themes (orange=global warming, green, blue=biodiversity, green=3Rs), and the overlapping areas shows these three themes have overlapped and become one main idea, yet still remain distinct in itself.


text: Common-size financial statements usually involve the balance sheet and the income statement. These two financial statements become "common-size" when their dollar amounts are expressed in percentages. For example, a common-size balance sheet will report all of the balance sheet amounts as a percentage of the "Total Assets" amount. If Cash was $80,000 and Total Assets were $1,000,000 then Cash will appear as 8% and Total Assets will appear as 100%. If the Current Assets were $350,000 they will appear as 35%. If Current Liabilities were $180,000 then on the common-size statement they will appear as 18%. By having all of the balance sheet amounts as a percentage of Total Assets, you can compare your company's current asset percentage (and all other line items) to your industry's percentage or to any other company's percentages. It doesn't matter if the other company is larger or smaller than your company, because all amounts are in percentages of Total Assets. Hence, the name "common-size." A common-size income statement will show all of the income statement amounts as a percentage of net sales. If net sales are $10,000,000 and the cost of goods sold is $7,800,000, the common-size income statement will report net sales as 100% and the cost of goods sold as 78%. If SG&A expenses are $1,300,000 they will appear as 13%. Having the income statement in percentages of net sales allows you to compare your company's SG&A expenses and its gross profit to your industry percentages and to other companies regardless of size.

Donald "Pete" Cuccaro was a skinny little Italian kid from Connecticut when he moved to Dade County in the early Sixties at the age of fourteen. He was just in time to experience the wave of Cuban immigrant children who flooded into the public schools in the first few years after Castro's revolution. The Palmetto High graduate grew up wanting to be a policeman, and that's just what he did, joining the Dade police force in 1971 as a beat cop.
Cuccaro spent 27 years as a county police officer. For years he was a media spokesman. In the summer of 1984, when executive producer Michael Mann sought to make the word vice synonymous with the Magic City, Cuccaro served as a technical advisor on the popular NBC show. Well, at least for the first couple of episodes. Then he resigned, protesting a script that depicted homicide detectives beating up suspects. "They promised me they wanted to portray the department realistically," he told the Miami Herald in 1984. "They didn't, and I can't ethically continue." A couple of months later, Cuccaro was reassigned to Metro-Dade's South District police station. He later headed the gang-activities unit and robbery-investigations bureau.
When long-time Metro-Dade director Fred Taylor retired in 1997, Cuccaro served as acting police chief until retiring in February 1998, and Carlos Alvarez became the current director. "He's a planner and a doer," Taylor deems Cuccaro. "The job of the police chief is to be able to merge doing the operation -- getting it done right -- and then having a little vision about how it can be done better and how to get there. Now I think that's what Pete is doing, developing a vision. I don't think [the school police] had [one] before."
Taylor is almost right. The problem with the school police was not a lack of vision but a vision different from that of a professional police force. Although a tiny, rudimentary version of the department was established by the school district in 1957, it was more of a security department, which simply coordinated the schools with local law-enforcement agencies and conducted background checks on employee applicants. In 1970 the school district's security-services department got a little bigger and began doing more personnel investigations and patrolling school properties at night to prevent burglaries.
A few years later, officers were occasionally patrolling a few schools during the day to reduce crime. In the Eighties the department, which had roughly 40 to 50 officers, called itself the Special Investigative Unit and gradually began to take on more traditional police duties. In the Nineties the unit was calling itself a police department and stationing an officer in every high school (and later in most middle schools). Today the school police has about 180 officers.
What didn't happen as the department grew both in size and responsibility was a corresponding evolution of leadership. "They didn't groom officers for leadership positions," asserts Sgt. Bruce Beard, a seventeen-year veteran of the school police. "People were selected based on the good ol' boy network and favoritism." Another problem was that the school police were still viewed by school district administrators -- nonpolice-mentality bureaucrats who oversaw them -- as merely the glorified security guards they'd once been.
This wasn't far from the truth in some cases. The school district would often hire uncertified officers because they were less expensive. For instance a rookie officer hired by the school system in the last couple of years would be paid about $26,000, nearly $10,000 less than other comparable police agencies pay. They would put him through cop school to get his certification, and that was about the end of formal training most would receive. Before New Times exposed this glaring error in 1997, the department also hired officers without requiring psychological screening; some had even failed psych tests at other departments. The officers could expect that the gaps between their incomes and those of cops at other agencies would only grow the longer they stayed -- hardly a recipe for building a great police force. So why do they stay? "You get to help real special kids," Hurley says. "That is flat out the reason I do this."
There was another reason the school police was so bad for so long: the bureaucrats. The superintendents, region administrators, and principals liked being able to largely direct the activities and investigations of the police, a bad tradition since 1957. Unlike other police departments, which typically report directly to the city manager or a mayor, the school police was separated by layers of paper-pushers answering to then-superintendent Roger Cuevas. And the department often got moved from one administrative division to another and was subject to the whims of whoever was in charge at the time. After Cuccaro was hired, Cuevas gave him a direct reporting line to the superintendent. "That was a large step in allowing us to professionalize the department," Cuccaro says.
Until then, when it came to employees accused of wrongdoing, the bureaucrats, not the police, would decide whether the matter would be pursued civilly or criminally. And time after time those decisions seemed driven by the friendships and political connections of the people involved, rather than the facts. By the mid-Nineties the State Attorney's Office and other police agencies were publicly expressing concerns that the disposition of potential crimes involving children were inappropriately being decided by paper-pushers rather than law-enforcement officials.

Revealing the secrets behind the culinary battles
Iron Chef Host Alton Brown Endorses Salt & Grape Juice
These tough economic times are taking their toll on everyone, I tell you—even Food Network stars!
Last month, commercials for Welch's grape juice featuring Iron Chef America host Alton Brown began running. Now, the geeky god is lending his celebrity to a cooking necessity: salt!
"The ability to properly use salt is critical to good cooking," Brown
said. "It allows a cook to turn the volume up on certain flavors, fine tune
others and create culinary harmony. I reach for Diamond Crystal(R) kosher
salt because whether I'm building a brine, seasoning a steak, or finishing
a dessert, it gives me the control I need."
As the new face of Diamond Crystal kosher salt, Alton Brown will help educate the home cook about the science and art of salt through online initiatives, advertising and public relations efforts, according to Diamond.
Hmm... I guess I'm fine with Alton endorsing kosher salt. It was a struggle convincing my mother to give up her beloved table salt, so perhaps Alton will help others come to the light. But what's next? Morimoto endorsing pepper? Michael Symon hawking paprika?
These days, anything's possible.

text: Uniform Medical History Form Makes it Easier for Small Groups to Apply for Insurance Benefit Rates May 5, 2009 - Virginia Beach, VA - For businesses (groups) with two to 24 employees, Optima Health will be using an application developed in partnership with the Virginia Bureau of Insurance. Known as the "Virginia Small Group Health Insurance Medical History Form," the application offers small employers a uniform means for providing employee information to insurers when applying for group health insurance benefits or seeking information on benefits and rates. Prior to this uniform application, each insurance company offered its own form, requiring small employers to submit information redundantly and inefficiently. Optima Health was one of the insurance companies that partnered with the Virginia Bureau of Insurance to design the new form. Optima's voluntary participation in utilizing this uniform application offers small employers much needed relief from redundancy and inefficiency. More than 78 percent of small group benefit administrators/employers participating in a January 2009 Optima Health survey strongly agreed that Optima Health is "easy to do business with." "We are pleased to be able to be a part of a positive solution for our small group employers," comments John E. DeGruttola, senior vice president of marketing and sales at Optima Health. "Something as simple as this form can make dealing with insurance carriers so much easier and that's always our goal." The uniform application is the result of legislation passed by the 2008 Virginia General Assembly. House Bill 728 directed the Bureau of Insurance to convene a work group made up of representatives from insurers, insurance agent organizations, employer organizations, and the Virginia Association of Health Plans to develop - by July 1, 2009 - a uniform group health insurance application form. 31/2009

Brick By Brick, Winchester Vision Takes Shape

Posted to: Housing, Newhallville
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are pouring into the shell of a once-proud, now-devastated apartment building on a devastated corner of Newhallville—along with big dreams of helping to rebuild transitional neighborhoods.
The money is going toward fixing up 555 Winchester Ave., an eight-unit, circa-1916 brick building at the corner of Starr Street.
Pockmarked with broken windows, bereft of much of its interior, it anchors the corner next to abandoned lots and across the street from a boarded-up house surrounded by two more empty lots. Down the block from the Taurus Cafe, a magnet for crime, 555 Winchester is part of a bleak stretch of a neighborhood struggling to rebuild. Two notorious slumlords milked the property, then left it to rot. A couple of other would-be developers, including David Nyberg, picked up the property, then offered it back for sale without reviving it.
It's one more abandoned property amid some of the 30-plus city-owned empty lots in the surrounding neighborhood. The abandoned properties may have held back the neighborhood. But they also represent an opportunity: People in the neighborhood as well as in City Hall are trying to figure out how to build Newhallville's forgotten properties back up. (Click here for a related story.)
Enter Yonachan "Yochi" Levitansky, a 26-year-old budding developer who grew up in Beaver Hills' close-knit Chassidic community. For the past few years Levitansky has worked for one of New Haven's fastest-growing real-estate empires, Pike International. Seven months ago he set out on his own, forming his own company in hopes of redeveloping and managing properties all over town.
His first challenge is 555 Winchester. And what a challenge. He recently picked up the 7,376-square foot hulk for just $150,000. He said he has enough financing (from unidentified "out-of-state investors") so he can spend up to $400,000 in all. He plans to gut the building, preserve all the original brick, replace cheap interior "garbage wood" walls with new brick, put in hardwood floors, central air-conditioning, and all new heating and plumbing and electrical systems.
His goal: Rent to a mix of good tenants, be they students or subsidized working families who pass rigorous background checks. He envisions four one-bedroom apartments; as well as one three-bedroom and three four-bedroom apartments with two bathrooms apiece.
In the process, Levitansky is attempting to repeat what a man named Nicholas Junjulas, whose name is carved above the building's entrance, accomplished in 1916: Construct a sturdy, inviting place for lots of families to live in the heart of Newhallville. (More on Junjulas later in the story.)
He has hired a local 10-person crew to carry out the work. "We took it down to the bones," he said. The crew includes Mark Lee, who has his own plumbing and heating company; general contractor Tony Hoyte (pictured) ...
... and workers like Mario Callahan (pictured), 42, who's concentrating on the framing and sub-floors. "It's coming along nice. It's nice to see" it coming together, Callahan said during a break in the work.
Levitansky said he hopes, "God willing," to have the building all ready to rent by September. But he's just getting started. He'd like to purchase the abandoned house across the street from its out-of-town owner. And he has his eye on the grassy expanse right next to his building. It comprises four separate lots that the city acquired over the years, then left alone, well maintained but not put to much use. Levitansky has inquired about buying all that land from the city in the hopes of constructing a mixed-use development, a mix of storefronts (for wholesome, perhaps not-for-profit enterprises, he said) and homes.
Eventually, he said, he'd "love" to purchase the next seven homes down to Division Street in order to "bring Science Park up to" Starr Street.
He has pitched the idea to Erik Johnson, head of New Haven government's anti-blight agency, the Liveable City Initiative (LCI). Johnson grew up on Shelton Avenue in Newhallville. He's trying hard to pull people together to come up with a broader strategy by the end of the year (when a new administration prepares to take over City Hall) for how to address all the vacant and abandoned properties in Newhallville.
A lot is happening piecemeal in the neighborhood, Johnson observed: the construction of a new charter high school, grassroots neighborhood clean-ups and community gardens, the renovation of beautiful old homes by not-for-profit Neighborhood Housing Services, the construction of a new mini-neighborhood at Science Park. At the same time, problems with slumlords and crime have threatened to hold back progress. It makes sense to put together a smart, comprehensive approach to knit together all the positive developments brewing, he argued.
Johnson told Levitansky he'd need to see more before considering the sale of the large lot. The city won't do "a speculative development deal for an entity with a limited background," Johnson said. Levitansky would need to show he has the money. And he'd have to demonstrate some successes on other projects.
Levitansky said he's working hard on that, eying properties in different parts of the city for revival. He watched Pike International's Shmully Hecht do that.
Now Hecht is focusing his company more on upscale development.
"I'm Shmully's protege," Levitansky said. Hecht gave Levitansky a second chance after Levitansky had a run-in with the law. "I worked my way up from the bottom. I learned a lot from Shmully, almost everything I know about real estate." He's younger than Hecht, and perhaps more prepared to take on riskier projects. Like the properties at Winchester and Starr.
"I see him where I was when I started," Hecht, who's 38, said of Levitansky. "I'm excited to see young guys tackling some of the neighborhoods that have been overlooked." Outside of Jim Paley's Neighborhood Services, Hecht said, "we collectively have failed in Newhallville in the public and private sector." Maybe, he said, the new up-and-comer can succeed where his predecessors failed.
Or where Nicholas Junjulas succeeded a century ago.
Local historian Colin M. Caplan looked into the story behind the name above the entryway to 555 Winchester. Here's what he found:
"Nicholas Junjulas was 47 years old when he had 555 Winchester Ave. constructed. It was designed by local architecture firm, D'Avino & Marchetti, and contained two stores on the ground floor and four apartments. Nicholas was a Greek immigrant who ran the Olympia Candy Company on the corner of Chapel and Church Streets. 555 Winchester Ave. housed his large family with included him, his wife, Mary, and their nine children: Helen, John, Peter, Parre, Antonia, Gustav, James, George & Christopher. They moved to the Bronx during the 1920s."
For now, at least, Levitansky expects to stick around his hometown and make his mark with multiple 555 Winchesters.

Good piece, hope we can track progress on this over time to see if Levitansky will be different from the slew of previous developers and slumlords.

Three Fifth, "pack your bags?" Not sure what your concern is….there were similar fears in the '80's when the Japanese seemed to be buying up many trophy properties. The US real estate markets overall has a very small percentage of foreign ownership, but even if that increases, it only helps create more robust markets and opportunities. Connecticut (and new Haven) don't see a significant amount of this capital because we're a small market.

Good luck. But it's near the Taurus and that bar is a big problem. It's too bad we couldn't close it. Maybe someone can buy it and knock it down.

I hope he succeeds, and it is not a far stretch that young, single, professionals, who work within Science Park, or attached to Yale, would welcome housing this close to those locations, at affordable prices.
The trade off is the risk of random violence that still exists in the neighborhood. The Murder of Mitchell Dubey, the attack on the Yale project manager at the house construction on Lilac St, and the double shooting several blocks away two days ago.
Imagine New Haven with no gang violence. Is it possible? Right now the progress in numbers is hard to value. How does one celebrate a 20% drop in gun deaths, when what that actually means is instead of 26 dead bodies, there were 21. 21 people murdered in public, on the streets and sidewalks of New Haven. There is nothing to celebrate there. And ignoring the past deaths, over one thousand in the past thirty years, creates the mind set that continues the murders.
Sorry for the rant, but it is something for anyone who wants to move into the center of "Bloods" territory in southern Connecticut, they should be aware.

@TheWizard.You said you trash anyone who dares suggests that unions suck money from the working class.Unions make the middle class strong by ensuring workers have a strong voice in both the market and in our democracy. When unions are strong they are able to ensure that workers are paid fair wages, receive the training they need to advance to the middle class, and are considered in corporate decision-making processes. Unions also promote political participation among all Americans, and help workers secure government policies that support the middle class, such as Social Security, family leave, and the minimum wage.
The problem is U.S. labor is divided against itself with government workers pitted against private-sector workers.Both who are taxpayers.The people you should be blaming is this group.
It's the Inequality.
How Rich Are the Superrich?
A huge share of the nation's economic growth over the past 30 years has gone to the top one-hundredth of one percent, who now make an average of $27 million per household. The average income for the bottom 90 percent of us? $31,244.
Case and point when you say a civil service worker retires say at 100,000 dollar a year.he has to pay taxes on this.But the richest Americans make more money and beat the IRS.
Only Little People Pay Taxes

So, Levitansky defrauds customers for over $200,000 then walks away and starts a development firm with intentions to buy up property in a poor neighborhood. I honestly hope this is part of a rebirth (of the person and the neighborhood) and not just another get-rich scheme.
I agree with anonymous, it would be nice to build a database of all these developers and their projects to see where they end up and determine who invests and who profits. Why is it a secret where the money comes from, or where it goes? If its an honest deal, there should be nothing to hide.

NHI, no mention of how much of the $237,000 he intentionally stole from everyday people in those eBay scams he's paid back yet?
Where did he get the $150,000 to buy this building from? These aren't topics you dug into a little bit more?

ASHLAND, Ore. – Oregon National Guard troops are preparing for another tour of duty in Afghanistan, and could be some of the last troops in that country.
President Obama announced Tuesday that only 9,800 troops would remain in Afghanistan after 2014. That number would continue to be reduced in 2015, and by the end of 2016 the only U.S. military presence in Afghanistan will be limited to embassy security.
Meanwhile, soldiers with the 186th Infantry in southern Oregon are training for another mission in Afghanistan. Those soldiers were first told to begin preparing in 2012, and are set to deploy to the Middle East later this year. Commanders said as more American troops are drawn down in Afghanistan, the mission of the southern Oregon soldiers may change over time.
"One of the things I'm encouraging our soldiers to be ready for is a lot of flexibility," said Lt. Col. Noel Hoback, based in Ashland. "Because I anticipate there will be a lot of mission change as we prepare for the deployment and then mobilize."
Many of the soldiers from the 186th have previously served tours in Afghanistan, and many were welcomed home to Medford during a city-wide ceremony in 2010.

Three suspects, all siblings, are wanted after allegedly robbing a bank in Georgia and shooting at a Florida police officer. (WRDW-TV / Aug. 8, 2011)
Monday, Dec. 17, 2012
VALDOSTA, Ga. (AP) -- A federal judge is sending three siblings involved in a cross-country crime spree to jail for more than 35 years.
Senior Judge Hugh Lawson sentenced Ryan Dougherty, Lee Grace Dougherty and Dylan Dougherty Stanley to identical sentences for their role in the robbery of a South Georgia bank. Their spree began in Florida and ended in a shootout in Colorado.
Lawson said it was a miracle that no one was killed.
Ryan Dougherty protested the judge's decision and called it rash.
Lawson sentenced each of the siblings to 35 years and 8 months. But the judge also sentenced the trio to five years of supervised release after their prison sentences.
The three have already pleaded guilty to Colorado charges stemming from their capture in August 2011.

S&W 44 Magnum accident
First it was baby formula, then pet food but now you should watch out when buying anything from China, including bright, shiny ammunition.
A guy came into the police department the other day to ask a favor. He had a S&W 629 (.44 Mag) that he wanted to dispose of after a mishap at the range. He said there was a loud bang when he tested his new ammo, (Chinese made), and the gun smacked him in the forehead, leaving a nice gash. When the tweety birds cleared from around his head, the pictures show what he saw. Bet he never uses Chinese made ammo again!
Looks like when the round in the chamber went off, it also set off at least two other rounds in adjacent cylinders.
I would have hated to been the one that pulled the trigger on that one!

I squeeze excess water out of my hair (don't towel dry) and add my leave-in, then I section it and liberally apply gel to each section. It would seem I'm applying too much product, but that's the right amount. The hair dries soft, curly, and frizz-free and holds throughout the day with no crunch. Magnificent!
Nov 14, 2010 - Greatest. Product. Ever. I'm not sensitive to cones, so it works for my 3B/C hair. It's light and makes the hair shiny without being greasy and it has the standard Aveda smell. It separates the curls perfectly. I use it on top of the Confixor and have the most beautiful hair all day-even in Chicago rain and wind. Worth every penny-I promise!
Feb 11, 2010 - Actually, Summer works at the Lincoln Park location (this add is for the Andersonville location) and I kind of don't want to tell you about her because she's already booked up beyond belief. She is AMAZING. I've never had a better stylist. I have hair that's a cross between a 3b and 3c and she gives me great cuts every time. The only thing better than the initial haircut is how gorgeous it is growing out. It is really beautiful with no mushroom head. I LOVE Summer. LOVE.
