Chatham Furniture Inc.
I was looking at the Kittery Point Bedroom Collection by Chatham Furniture at a local furniture store. This is the Chatham out of MA made by Mr. Kapela. They claimed it was their upper tier furniture along with Cresent furniture as it was made out of all hard woods and good craftsmanship. It does look good and feels substantial. However I was looking online and saw Walmart had something by Chatham. Don't take this the wrong way but is this the same Chatham?? I am surprised to see a company that a local furniture store places in its upper tier to be producing furniture to be sold at Walmart. Even if it is I will probably still buy it because it looked superior to a lot of the other stuff. I am one to buy items that I feel are better crafted (I bought two Hancock and Moore leather sofas that I love) over saving a lot of money and buying a cheaper made product. I do not want something falling apart on me. It does not save me money if I have to replace it in a few years.
It seems to be the same company. It's not really available at your local Walmart, apparently it's Walmart Marketplace.
I have a Chatham Highland Road Desk purchased a couple of years ago. I can not imagine that Wallmart would have this type of furniture. Mine is solid cherry.

Classical guitar lessons begin with learning how to read music, while developing good posture and technique on the instrument using finger-style plucking. Over time, we will work on building a repertoire of classical performance pieces, to be shaped with great musicality. Classical guitar is a terrific way to build good technique on the instrument, drawing from the hundreds of years of knowledge in the subject.
Music has played a big role in my life ever since I was 4 and heard The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night." From that point on, I committed myself towards a life in music, soon after beginning lessons on classical guitar. Through high school I studied classical and jazz guitar at Philadelphia's esteemed Settlement Music School, and I subsequently attended New York University as a jazz studies major in both guitar and composition for a bachelors and masters degree. As a teacher, I love to pair my academic knowledge of music with my decades of experience listening to and playing popular music ranging from rock and funk to bluegrass and hip hop. I've performed in settings ranging from jazz clubs in Italy, to theater in New York, and rock clubs in Philadelphia. In my lessons I like to bring

For the love of god. Stop making new champions and release a new map!
Seriously. The current GUI can't even display all the champs in one window without having to scroll around. We only have 2 maps to choose from for all these **** champions, and they are basically the same mission, just in a mini and large size.
Make a map where the teams compete to eliminate the same Nexus. Make a map with an escort mission. Release the map with the isolated lanes. Make an island/water themed battleground.
Give us something other than more champions, please!
yes really plz no more champs dont get me wrong i love that yall are putting out something about once a mounth or more ..but really new maps will mean much more to us then another champ i would even go as far to say if you make 3-4 new map you wont hear a peep out of us for atleast 6 months or more about new champs ....if i eat rice everyday its fine i can spice it up an flavor it ..but there comes a time where you sick of the f-ing rice ..thats how we are about playing the same maps over an over ...well food for thought ty

i want it to come fast at least the video of it . its cool
the chain ability
me and my friends gave it though and by the sceen shot we figure its like morgana's ult you gotta skill shot 2 land the chain and follow after them 2 keep them shackled untill it goes off and immobilizes them
I see Morgana's ulti on E.
I like this character, but still...
You gave Lux a version of Morgana's snare, now LeBlanc her ulti. Haha.
I guess this gives people more people to play instead of Morgana, but Morgana is definitely the best XD
But, all of that aside, I probably will try this character.
A New Challenger Approaches: Noob Saibot
Loving her!
But riot really Etherial Chains is just Morganas ultimate slightly adjusted. Now I know morgana is awesome and worth copying but thats twice in a row now and its just so similar its painful.

Physician Pleads Guilty for Role in Detroit-Area Medicare Fraud Scheme
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
A former Detroit-area physician pleaded guilty today for his role in an $11.5 million health care fraud scheme.
Acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Barbara L. McQuade of the Eastern District of Michigan, Special Agent in Charge Paul M. Abbate of the FBI's Detroit Field Office and Special Agent in Charge Lamont Pugh III of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) Chicago Regional Office made the announcement.
Jose Mercado-Francis, 60, formerly of Brownstown Township, Mich., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Nancy G. Edmunds in the Eastern District of Michigan to one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud.
According to court documents, Mercado-Francis admitted that, beginning in approximately September 2009 and continuing through February 2012, he held himself out as a licensed physician and purported to provide physician home services to Medicare beneficiaries, when actually his medical license had been revoked and he was not licensed to practice medicine in Michigan.
Court documents allege that Mercado-Francis operated his scheme out of a medical practice known as House Calls Physicians P.L.L.C., which was located in Allen Park, Mich., and owned by a co-conspirator.
Mercado-Francis prepared medical documentation that licensed physicians signed as if they had provided services to Medicare beneficiaries, when, in fact, they had not.
The services were then billed to Medicare as if the licensed physicians had performed them.
Court documents further allege that, between approximately May 2008 and October 2012, House Calls Physicians billed Medicare more than $11.5 million for the cost of physician home services.
Of that amount, Dr. Mercado-Francis caused the submission of approximately $1.1 million in false and fraudulent physician services claims.
At sentencing, which will be scheduled at a later date, Mercado-Francis faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
This case is being investigated by the FBI and HHS-OIG and was brought as part of the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, under the supervision of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan.
This case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Matthew C. Thuesen of the Fraud Section.
Since its inception in March 2007, the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, now operating in nine cities across the country, has charged more than 1,700 defendants who have collectively billed the Medicare program for more than $5.5 billion.
In addition, the HHS's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, working in conjunction with the HHS-OIG, are taking steps to increase accountability and decrease the presence of fraudulent providers.

Saturday Snapshots: Enriching the Soil Before Planting in My Raised Garden Beds (2012 Garden Update #2)
12 comments:
The day I plant my garden is one of my favorite days of the year. All the possibilities are still ahead, and the squash bugs and tomato hornworms aren't yet causing problems!ReplyDelete
This is the first year we have a raised bed with a cover and so far I'm loving it! I won't get to plant the garden for awhile yet as it could still freeze so we don't have much growing yet but it's a great time to get some work done. Thanks for the great advice and all the wonderful recipes.ReplyDelete
I like reading your garden updates. I don't have a garden myself, but I grow herbs and many different variety of tomatoes in pots and containers. I've just planted a black cherry (one of my favorites) and a dark yellow/orange beefsteak variety. Just wondering - what kind of tomatoes are you planting this year? I know green zebras belong to your favorites. I love them too and the one plant that I have is already in the ground.ReplyDelete
During Fall I cover my raised bed with newspaper and add a layer of dried leaves. It keeps the weeds down. When I begin planting I dig the newspaper and leaves into the soil and also add compost from my own compost bin. It's great that you have some help.ReplyDelete
I liked reading about your raised beds and was admiring your sprinkler tube system. I have something similar but yours looks way better. I often end up watering by hand because the system I have is not very effective. Do you have any info. about this?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 6, 2012 at 5:08 PM
I have a garden and love it. This year I moved the tomatoes out into another garden hoping to get more furit this year. I am looking for some different herbs and veggies to plant. The herbs a doing very well and the beets are lookimng great. I just put in squash, ciucumbers, eggplant. So I have the standard stuff any suggestions??ReplyDelete
Hi everyone,ReplyDelete
I've been out of town so sorry if it seemed like I was ignoring things.
Sue, I need to try black cherry tomatoes. I didn't have much time to look for plants because I had one day to get them planted before I left town, so this year I have Green Zebra, Brandywine, Celebrity, San Marzano (for roasted tomatoes) and Lemon Boy.
Ann I have heard about that trick of using newspaper!
JJ, I hired someone to install them for me, so I don't know the brand on the drip system. If you look under the tab "Gardening" at the top, there was a post about it which gives his contact information if you want to ask him.
There are posts from previous years that show the different plants I've experimented with (look under "gardening") but must have for me would be cucumbers, kale, green beans, and basil!
Does Clayton ever come to Rhode Island? I'm jealous of your garden prep!ReplyDelete
My garden experience in 2012 has been mixed; we bought some seeds but our starts got killed by unexpected cold, so I decided to skip a step and buy some starts from a nursery; those are just starting to show signs of production. Your watering unit looks great.ReplyDelete
Oh, I love your drip water system! I have a drip system for some of my flower beds, but it is sort of a hodge-podge of drip lines and doesn't look nearly as robust as your lovely system. Where did you get your materials and did you set it up yourself or have a professional? I live in SLC, so any recommendations are VERY welcome!ReplyDelete
Maggie if you look under the tab gardening there is a post about the sprinklers and who installed them.ReplyDelete
I was just topping up my new raised beds this evening between the rain showers, in an unseasonably cold UK. Got a delivery of baby veg plants coming later this week from a company that supply 'constant gardens' - you get a delivery of baby plants every few months for the year.... very excited, as the pressures of moving house, decorating and work mean that I haven't managed to grow much veg for the last couple of seasons. Nice to get out there and get stuck in again (til the rain started...)ReplyDelete
Thanks for joining the conversation! I love hearing from readers and even though I can't always reply to every comment, I will always answer specific questions on a recipe as soon as possible. Sometimes I'm answering by iPhone, so my replies may be short!

Sample Report
The trick is not so much coming up with ideas, as how to make them work. When I first tried to photograph my ejaculations, for instance, I kept shooting and missing. After about eight times of getting back black film I realized that I needed a motor drive on my camera. I would start shooting film before I felt myself coming, and was able to shoot a roll of film in seconds. Invariably, there would be one shot, and one shot only, of my ejaculate. In Vagina Dentata (Vagina with Teeth) the teeth-they were shark's teeth-kept falling out. I had to keep pushing them in to keep them from coming out. After a while, they stayed in place. When the shoot was over, I tried to get them out, but they were stuck. I then realized that the glue that kept them in place was dried menstrual blood.

I booked this hotel because I was looking for affordable accomodation at the Silicon Valley. My friend and I stayed there for 12 nights because I was on a research programme at Stanford University (which, by the way, is 8 minutes away by train). Knowing how much it costs to stay in motels at the Silicon Valley ( which are very often old and almost run-down), I would like to say that this place is simply excellent and a bargain. Our room was impeccably clean ( even though a bit small but this was our choice as we wanted a room on the second floor and this was the only available) and our private bathroom was very clean, refurbished, tasteful and big enough for our needs. I also used the common bathroom a few times when my friend was using ours and I have to say that it is as clean as the private one. There is no breakfast but there is coffee and juice at the lobby and you can help yourself . The atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly and I felt very safe inside and outside the hotel. The hotel manager, Alkesh was very responsible, friendly and kind and we felt very quickly at home. In fact, we became so familiar with the place that we were sad to leave it!

Decanted tonight and pitched into 1500ml of 1.040. I am very pleased with this experiment so far. The last starter went from 1.040 to 1.010 and that is without a stir plate, just occasionally swirling. Going to let this ferment, crash for 2 days, decant and pitch into the amber this weekend. I plan to collect the yeast, wash it and freeze in glycerin.
Nicely done!
I'm one of the brewers at SweetWater... We use Wyeast 1968 in IPA.
Homebrew shirts, stickers, mugs, etc.http://www.zazzle.com/mightbemary*
Here are the steps...
500ml 1.020
500ml 1.030
Crash for a day or so and decant - 1000ml 1.040
Crash for a day or so and decant - 1500ml 1.040
Crash for a day or so and decant - Pitch
It'll be interesting to see how the yeast behaves in a full fermentation. Yeast that managed to make it into a bottle I would expect to have very low flocculation characteristics, since we cold crash the fermentors and centrifuge the beer to remove yeast during transfer to the bright tanks where it is force carbonated and later packaged from. I'm impressed you managed to culture a viable colony of yeast at all post centrifuge... And I bet our lab guys will be interested as well. I'll pass this on to them for sure. Keep us posted... and keep drinking SweetWater!
Oh my god!!!!
I never expected this. Last night at about 8:00 I pitched the cake into the starter in my one gallon plastic "carboy", gave it a good shake and set it on the counter. I did not touch it until I got home today about 3:00. I meant to swirl it before work but ran out and forgot about it.
I would say I have a healthy population eh?
The krausen is indeed all the way to the top.
From 1.040 to 1.014 (hydrometer is a little off) in 24 hours....Probably took much less than that.
Smells great and tastes ok.
I transferred to a mason jar to make it easier to pitch...Might should have waited a while. It is in the fridge now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upRQ...e_gdata_player

So I'm working on a PHP app and trying to make everything moduler. I have an index.php file that includes other php files. The first file included is settings.php which has my postgres credentials defined so they can be accessed elsewhere. The second file is connect.php that has a function you can pass sql to and it will return $result. The third file has functions that call the sql function and receive $result and parse it. In the third file, I can read the results of the $result however if I try if($result) it breaks and isset/empty have no effect.
Anyone have any ideas on a way to make this work, or is my structure just terrible?
Thanks so much!

Time to shovel prune that Arnold Red Honeysuckle!
You may remember that my supposedly hardy Arnold Red honeysuckle did not leaf out from the woody stems at all this year. Finally, the leaves came out from the base and I pruned off most of the woody branches. The new growth was all over the place and some bent over. It looked like a big ugly mess. Well, it got uglier from there.... today, I noticed that this supposed aphid-resistant variety was once again covered with aphids! It did that last year and I had to spray it. This year, it is happening all over again. I am just not happy about that!
Seeing that it is now such an ugly-looking, aphid infested mess, I am going to just get rid of it. Sigh! Well, at least I will then make some room for other perennials there! Oh well.....
nutsaboutflowers, I just did it!!!!!!!!! YAY!
Now there is a bit hole there - a real opportunity to fill it in with something that I really enjoy,
BTW, it was really gross as my arms were covered with aphids at one point, while pulling out that thing!!!!!!! EWW....
I will have to add that shovel pruning to acquire something else is a symptom of PAD (Plant Acquisition Disorder, we talked last year about this)
Be very careful as it seems nutsaboutflowers is severely affected. Might be trying to sway you to shovel prune and acquire so they don't feel bad about their shovel pruning to acquire (PAD) addiction.
I am a recovering from PAD and unfortunately relapse often. This winter when my desire to acquire plants was low I was able to take courses and become a certified PAD and CSD counsellor. For a small fee, of course, I can help anybody out.
SCG, you are just too much! ROTFLOL! You are hilarious, man!!! :-)
I certainly have PAD.... why is it that every time I see something nice in the nursery, I have the urge to buy it?! Then if it's on sale, then forget about it, I have to have it, whether there is room or not!!!!!!!!!
I now have a number of perennials that I just had to have when I saw them, all sitting in a tray, waiting patiently for me to find space for them.... sigh! See, that's why that Arnold Red Honeysuckle just had to go!!!
Is there a PAD Anonymous in the Calgary region!? LOL
I threatened my Dropmore honeysuckle with shovel pruning after several years of relentless wooly aphids. I just couldn't get rid of them no matter what. Then last year for some reason the vine was aphid free and lovely. So it stayed. So far this year it has been attacked by some kind of caterpillar that left many chewed leaves and now it has some kind of leaf miner.
It is starting to get on my nerves again.
north53, I know what you mean! Some of these plants would do terrible, then they would tease you with some good performance when you're about to get rid of them.... what is one supposed to do!? Sigh....
BTW, I am never going to allow a honeysuckle into my yard again. I just cannot stand those aphids LOL

Today, the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (Iosco) published guidelines for improving the transparency and supervision of commodity futures markets.
The report was published by Iosco's Task Force on Commodities Markets, which was formed in October 2008 following concerns over price volatility - and concerns over market manipulation - in the commodities futures markets.
In an effort to boost international co-operation and facilitate transparency, the guidelines focused on the ability of regulators to access information on commodities markets that they do not oversee - including the cash and OTC derivatives markets.
The report called for a removal of the barriers preventing regulators from collecting the information they need to detect market manipulation or other abuses by market participants holding large positions in commodities contracts.
The task force also noted that futures markets regulators should promote improvements in the quality and transparency of underlying OTC market information, suggesting data providers make efforts to offer greater detail into data and improve its accessibility.
Acknowledging the enforcement challenges facing futures market regulators, the task force also stated that there should be a review of existing market abuse authority to ensure it permits prosecution of attempted manipulation and to ensure regulators have the resources to build enforcement programmes and the ability to investigate for potential abuses.
"The complex and frequent opacity of factors that drive price discovery in the futures markets, combined with the critical importance of commodities markets to the world's economy, argue for continued vigilance to promote the transparency of futures market price formation and the interconnections between regulated futures and related commodity markets," Kathleen Casey, chairman of Iosco's technical committee, said in a statement.

Venus Williams: 'Great to be back'
Updated: March 22, 2012, 9:47 AM ETBy Joanne C. Gerstner
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. -- If you closed your eyes and just listened to Venus Williams play on Wednesday, you would have never known it had been more than six months since she last competed in a tournament.
The grunts, punctuating her hard serves and groundstrokes, were in full effect. And then came the cheers from the stadium court crowd at the Crandon Park Tennis Center whenever she hit a dazzling forehand or serve.
But this was ...

Scaling the Excelsior Filming Model

Re: Scaling the Excelsior Filming Model
Robert Comsol wrote:
^^ Beautiful side-by-side-comparison! Just made me realize how much more practical I think the
Excelsior s
tern hangar is for storing shuttlecraft (they were never that tall).
And the circular structure ahead of it reminds me more than ever of the botanical section of the TMP
and most definitely of the
Earth orbital complex in TMP
Say, great observation there sir on the aft section - although it does make me wonder where the arboretum would go when they replaced that feature in her post-NX days? And yet, according to the stock footage reused for TNG, some vessels retained it.
And I do tend to agree the fantail hangar is a more "svelt" version of the TOS landing bay. It's interesting to note how shuttlebays two and three on the D appear even smaller, isn't it? Definitely fits an evolutionary pattern IMO
Egger wrote:
Good comparison, Praetor. One thing though:
The alignment of the window rows on this Excelsior model's secondary hull are not quite right. Look at this:
The number of window rows there is the same, but there is a space between the 2. from the top and the 3. that is as high as between the 3. and the 5. row. So there should be another deck between them, meaning the secondary hull has one more deck than on the model you used.
There is also a higher space between the lowermost window row and the darker part of the hull.
Eureka sir, eureka. There are indeed some flaws with the Richter model, and thank you for pointing them out to me. (Still a perty model though, isn't it?)
With some revisiting, I arrive with this:
Fourteen decks in the engineering hull, with a half-deck below the uppermost deck (which I would assume to be related to support for the intermix chamber or something along those lines.) This, by the way is a use of Gus's hyper-accurate drawing from EAS. His windows aren't exactly perfect, but the rows are spot on. (And he added saucer edge gangways and secondary hull airlocks that weren't really on the model.)
I was able to confirm this alignment used the detailed model study of the
model I linked to upthread:
And this one is slightly less reliable, but still tends to confirm the accuracy of this alignment:
So there it is. The secondary hull decks are well-defined by the window rows, and the saucer decks also derived from the few available windows. It so happens that it works out that the secondary hull decks can be 12 feet, and the saucer decks 9.5 feet, while maintaining the separate (and necessary) alignments for each deck set necessitated by the windows.
I haven't done the exact math yet as I want to work out the precise deck spacing on my own drawing before doing so, but I suspect we're going to see a ship quite close to the 622 meter figure. Making all decks 9.5 feet would make the ship smaller, but also possibly cause some issues in the saucer alignment. I will also examine this.
Mytran wrote:
The only viewports we actually see in TOS (from the inside) are the two small squares ones in
, and the slightly larger rectangular one from
(which also features an external shutter, meaning it could be hidden from the outside most of the time). That being the case, we've no actual evidence that the "windows" on the TOS-E are anything of the sort. So, what are they? - massive sensor arrays perhaps? It would help to justify why there's so many of them on the
hull (hardly the place for stargazing, IMO).
Not to pick a nit, but perhaps the engineering ports are always open because they're not in anyone's quarters, they're in work spaces? I would think people would care more about whether or not they were opened or closed in their quarters. (Then again, we never see a ton of them open on the saucer, do we?)
It is of course also entirely possible that there simply aren't that many windows on the ship, and most of them are reserved for work and public spaces, rather than making those crew persons who can't have a room with a view feel left out.
Robert Comsol wrote:
But how do we know that during events of "The Cage" the ceiling was not transparent?
WNMHGB takes place years after that so the non-transparent ceiling might be a later upgrade or modification.
Or, maybe the opacity could be changed by the flick of a switch? We nearly have such technology now.
Robert Comsol wrote:
I'd just love to believe that but fact remains that a) the housing perfectly matches the shape of a turbo lift car, b) is at the proper location where to expect the bridge turbo lift car (i.e. the stern), c) they even went into the hazzle of carving out the cylindrical shape (I would have peferred a plain extension
) and d) it's devoid of any structures or colors that could suggest something else.
Agreed... it fits too well to not be accurate, one need only rotate the bridge, sink it a bit into the superstructure and scale things accordingly to make it work.
When I say it like that, it almost sounds convoluted to make it work, doesn't it?
Robert Comsol wrote:
beat me to that. If we were just to continue the separation lines of the clamshell doors (watched from within) we'd end up rather quickly at the tower segment above with the horizontal stern window (aft phaser control room?).
However, at an assumed length of 1,080' the
two lateral rectangular windows
would still be rather low to have a practical use for the observation corridor, assuming a bigger ship could remedy the situation.
Just as these -
- are revealed to be windows in the close-up shots, so is the illuminated porthole near the docking ring of the TMP
I see more advantages in having that many windows than disadvantages. Especially the dark areas of the connecting dorsal will provide views like this:
Of course, in Kirk's temporary cabin on Engineering Deck 12 you'd like to have shutters - until you want to drive the captain crazy by having a planet's starlight reflection bother him all night long.

"Uwah? Huuh?!"
Love the voice acting.
Does this still work now, when they have shut down all of the servers? I would very much like to play multiplayer, but cannot.
Brilliant. These zombies are actually going to be scary, unlike (in my opinion) the infected from L4D.
Here's an interesting idea I had, though inclusion so close to the release date would be silly.
Maybe you should make a kind of objectives mode, where the humans have to survive and get to, say, some special area, like a book, for example, that kills all the demons and ends the game. The demons themselves have to use their abilities to stop the humans from completing their goal, obviously.
Maybe you could even throw in some cool 'backstory' elements.
Just a thought.
People probably won't agree, but I want more dangerous zombies. Like... one hit kill zombies. Maybe they could have some animation where they grab onto you and bite your neck out. That'd be awesome. The Source engine might not be the best for that though.
Please tell me NMRIH in going to have a different animation for the zombies. Walking, attacking, idle... While the default anims are tolerable, I'd prefer a more... shambling style of movement.
Is this sign going to be near the ground? Because if not, how'd they get all bloody, short of a gun fight maybe.
Dark and evil with a tinge of hopelessness. Perfect for a zombie epidemic.
Or something like napalm. That'd put those goddamn Wraith bastards to rest.
Looks like someone took his lollipop.
Mum! What are you doing here?
EPICNESS! This guy can so walk around with like a giant gun, maybe like the Hornet Guns the Alien Grunts use in Half-Life 1 except mini-gun version.
this looks really awesome, guys. are these going to be randomised models, changed everytime you play or are they static creatures?
aw man thnx guys for telling me that the marked one was strelok. damn i was so close
You're just like: Hey wait a minute, I'm not playing Cod4.
Man, I love this mod. But could we maybe get a video that compares the two games, with and without? If it's not too much trouble. I just want to see the real differences.
I am really looking forward to this. Is that a jungle I see? :)
This looks like a great mod. Will this be running on the Ep2 Source Engine? It seems that ever since Black Mesa was announced, other mod groups want to create their recreations. I can clearly see that you took a lot of inspiration from BM and that is not a bad thing. I hope to play the game soon.
Man, I am so looking forward to this mod! Will all the character's voices be done by fans? Or are there beta files with all the voices anyway? I played 1.5 and want more desperately!
