"I cried when my youngest son took a football scholarship…. I don't think anyone should play tackle football before high school. Kids' bodies are not ready. Flag football is a wonderful game."—Jean Fugett, a former NFL Pro Bowler who played football for the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys, now a lawyer, as quoted in an op-ed column, "The Cost of Football Glory" by Joe Nacera in the NYT earlier this year; check out our roundup of expert advice on how to prevent concussion and sports-related injuries in children at nymetroparents.com/sportsinjuries
Views from an 'Older Mom'"Most, if not all, of my friends are 'done' with parenting…They can see the next chapter of their life beginning with travel, home downsizing, and, well, freedom… I on the other hand am still checking school planners, assisting in science fair projects, and hauling kids all over town for practices and games. And I'll be doing this for probably another 10 years. Wow…. Lately I am finding more and more parallels to my and my mother's life, coincidentally or not. I'm going to guess that she very well would've liked to have taken off her 'mommy hat' many times while having to care for me and my younger sister in her later years."—children's book author and Norwalk mom Jennifer Covello, who blogs about everything from giving ourselves credit and trusting our instincts as parents to journaling and entrepreneurship at parentingforpurpose.com; her writing can also be found at mamapalooza.com

Just curious as to what you guys think my body fat was, and is now. Thanx guys
if i were to add some leg press into workout A would this lead to too much leg work considering we are squatting 3 times a week already. i just f##cking love training quads!!!!
everyone is on bab this week. feel alone doing aba. **** it yolo
yeh i think its time. i feel like i dont quite have enough mass for my liking. i guess i can always cut see how i look and go from there
i have about 100grams of sugar just from milk alone =S
yeah cool cool thats what i did today. seemed like it took me ages to get through all my squats haha
nice sounds good. i just started the program today felt good worked up a good sweat. another quick question are all 5 sets for the major compound lifts working sets or is it like 2 sets wam-up 3 sets...
hey mate enjoying your log keep up the good work. just a quick question when u fail on bench first or second set do you drop the weight to finish off the rest of you're sets or just stop?
bump. bulk or shredd first, need advice thanx
consuming about 3000 cals a day maintenance is about 2600. possibly may cut down since body fat % is getting a little high
so my estimates seem pretty spot on, a little too kind to myself even haha. I'm thinking maybe i should try shred some body fat before i continue my bulk... thoughts?
hmm yeah i thought so. would you guys recommend continuing to bulk up or try and shred some body fat first?
Been going to the gym for about 2 months now made some solid noob gains from about 78kgs to 87kgs (currently bulking) was just trying to see where my body fat % was at. i know its hard to tell from...

Recipe for Chamomile infused oil?
I've done a little searching, here and through google, and I can't find specific instructions on making this.
I make my own calendula-infused olive oil for soapmaking, apparently it's a cold infusion. I could just do the same with the chamomile, but:
1. I grew the chamomile myself, and I'm unsure how dry the flowers need to be.
2. Is a cold infusion appropriate for chamomile?
3. A ballpark amount of flowers-to-oil would be nice to know.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out!
Here's the basic method of making infused oils. NOT FOR INTERNAL USE!!
Pack a jar with fresh herb and pour in enough olive oil to completely cover. Leave on a sunny window sill for 2-6 weeks. Strain liquid into another jar through a fine cloth or coffee filter, seal and label bottles. Use as a massage oil or add to creams and lotions.
Heat about 280g dried herb or 840g fresh herb in about 700ml oil in a double boiler for 2-3 hours. Strain off the solid matter.
Add 25-50 drops of essential oil to 100ml of oil.

Lingerie Football League says no to Oklahoma City
e current format began last year as a 10-team league. Mortaza shot back to the initial reports. "I thought our plans were for expansion into Oklahoma City, not North Korea,†Mortaza said in his initial statement. A league spokesman said then that the league's executive committee would meet this week to determine whether to proceed with expansion plans. Ultimately the league decided not to pursue Oklahoma City. "Unfortunately, it is the people that ultimately lose in this outcome,†Mortaza continued in Tuesday's statement. "We would urge the great people of Oklahoma who want their views reflected by their elected officials, to vote accordingly in the next election. For someone who is in favor of small government, their stance in regards to this matter does not exactly scream smaller government. No one should have the power to deem what is entertainment or moral for an entire city.†If the league wanted to use either of the city-owned venues, it would first need to work out a lease with SMG, which manages the venues, and then the lease would need to be approved by the Oklahoma City Council. Cornett holds one of the council's nine votes. But Mortaza said it wasn't worth it to continue. "Why would we fight to convince a governing body why it is in their favor to reflect the views of a majority of their constituency and be in favor of an initiative that would bring a high-profile sports franchise into their city that will create jobs and revenue while not costing the city a penny.†Cornett said the league's expansion plans were not a major issue for him. "I've got a lot of other issues that I'm concerned about before that,†Cornett said.

Jam City: New Jams by Lightning Bolt, Blaxxx, Joanna Gruesome and Colleen Green
Six years is an eternity in modern music. In six years, your old fan-base has grown up, moved to the suburbs, and bought a baby-hauling, suburban utility vehicle, or two.
It's not like the influential, noise duo, Lightning Bolt, intended such a long delay between albums, either. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Brian Gibson and Brian Chippendale recounted multiple recording sessions that simply fell flat.

Play Me: "Straight" by A Place to Bury Strangers
After exploding onto the scene in 2007 with one of the loudest and most jarring live shows in the game, the industrial-strength, New York noise band, A Place to Bury Strangers have often struggled to match the intensity of those early days when comparisons to Jesus and Mary Chain hung around the band's neck like the storied albatross, only to be obliterated by a ruckus so severe, the human ear buckled in ecstasy. Or, to put it more succinctly, if you love it loud, you loved A Place to Bury Strangers.

Application by Renewable Energy Systems Limited for consent to
Application by Renewable Energy Systems Limited for consent to construct and operate an 85 MW wind turbine generating station at Keadby in North Lincolnshire (application no. 2003/1630) Background At the planning committee held on 5 March 2005 North Lincolnshire Council resolved to object to the above proposal on specific grounds, primarily contained within SPG13 and policy DS21(i) of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan, and this objection is fundamentally made on landscape grounds. In January 2006 the applicant company submitted supplementary environmental information to the Secretary of State for the Department of Trade and Industry and forwarded a copy of that information to North Lincolnshire Council, requesting further comments. A joint public inquiry into this licence application to the Department of Trade and Industry, together with the application by E.ON UK Renewables Ltd at Tween Bridge, is scheduled to start on 9 January 2007 and is programmed to last for at least six weeks. The inquiry is to be held at The Vikings Hotel, Goole and some eveni ng sessions are to be arranged, both in Thorne and Keadby. A pre-inquiry meeting has taken place and set down, via the programming officer appointed by the Department of Trade and Industry, the way in which the public inquiry should be conducted. North Lincolnshire Council has appointed landscape consultants to give evidence at the inquiry and appear on the council's behalf. The case will primarily be based on the impact the development will have on the landscape of the area, both individually and cumulati vely with other wind farm proposals in the Humber Head Levels area. The inspector, at the pre-inquiry meeting, requested that an up-to-date statement be provided on all wind farm proposals in the Humber Head Levels area at the opening of the inquiry. Because of the range and complex nature of the issues involved, and particularly because it is considering two separate sites, the inspector has decided to deal with the inquiry, for the most part, on a topic-based agenda and in the programming officer's report of the pre-inquiry meeting a programme is given for the dates on which relevant topics will be discussed. In order for the inspector to be fully aware of North Lincolnshire Council's up -to-date position on the wind farm proposals before him, it is importa nt that this council considers the supplementary environmental information which has been submitted in relation to this proposal and the amendments contained therein. Main points and amendments contained within the supplementary environmental information submitted to North Lincolnshire Council for comment In mid January this year Bond Pearce, on behalf of Renewable Energy Systems Ltd (RES), submitted to North Lincolnshire Council, as consultee in respect of their application to the Department of Trade and Industry, supplementary environmental information in the form of amended environmental impact assessments, including additional photomontages, figures and a new non-technical summary. The refinements that have been made by RES relate to the following issues: • a reduction in the number of turbines from 39 to 34 by the deletion of turbines 1-4 and turbine 10 from the original scheme; • the repositioning of some of the remaining turbines; • a reduction in the length of the access track; • the identification of various works in respect of three vehicle accesses; and • in respect of the grid and cable connection details. The supplementary environmental information also addresses matters which have emerged since the application was submitted, including the issue of new government policy concerning renewable energy, recent advice from English Nature which constitutes a change of position on the part of English Nature with regard to what it considers to be the likely significant effect of the scheme on a European site and potential for cumulative environmental effects in combination with other proposals in the area. This information has been submitted to the Department of Trade and Industry and this council on a voluntary basis, rather than pursuant to a request for further information. The information has been given publicity by advertisement in newspapers circulated in the locality and copies have been left for public inspection at Crowle library, North Lincolnshire Council offices and the offices of the applicant company. Additionally, North Lincolnshire Council has carried out a round of consultations and many of the previous objectors to the scheme have reaffirmed their objections, including the Lincolnshire Trust, Campaign to Protect Rural England, Garthorpe and Fockerby Parish Council, Luddington and Haldenby Parish Council, Crowle Town Council, Amcotts Parish Council and Keadby Parish Council. Robin Hood International Airport have registered an objection to the proposal on the grounds of aviation safety, specifically on the impact of the development on the radar that operates from Robin Hood Airport. Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council have reconsidered their position following the submission of the supplementary environmental information and have confirmed that following consideration by their planning committee an objection from them has now been received to this proposal by RES on the grounds that it will impact on aviation safety at Robin Hood Airport and also limit the regeneration potential for the airport and the adjoining commercial development. As a result of the publicity given to the submission of this supplementary environmental information, both by the applicant company and North Lincolnshire Council, 46 individual letters have been received objecting to the proposal principally on the grounds that it represents an over-development and is more than the agreed share that this region can accommodate in line with Government renewable energy targets. Furthermore, around 50 letters have been written directly to the Department of Trade and Industry, again mentioning the same issues that have been previously reported to this committee plus those highlighted above in addition to the fact that noise from the proposed wind turbine development will have a serious impact on local residents, particularly during the hours of darkness. The supplementary environmental information that has been submitted is expansive and the refinements to the scheme are duly noted and have to be considered in line with the original scheme and representations received. It has been concluded that the physical refinements that have been made to the scheme as set out do not represent a significant enough change in circumstances to warrant North Lincolnshire Council changing its original view to this scheme, that is that it will have a serious impact on the landscape of the area by virtue of its scale and location. No technical objections have been received in respect of noise. Whilst appreciating local concerns about the area being asked to accommodate more than the Government's renewable energy targets for this region, there is no additional information which would enable North Lincolnshire Council to either withdraw or add to its original objection. Recommendation North Lincolnshire Council, after considering the supplementary environ- mental information submitted voluntarily by RES in respect of the Keadby wind farm proposal, wish to advise the Department of Trade and industry that the council maintains its objection to the proposal.

This tour was amazing!
This was an awesome day and totally worth the extra to skip long lines and have VIP
Our guide, Rivers was fantastic. He took us to spots to take photos that other tourists didn't know about. Good value and a calm way to see all the sights.
Front of line is definitely worth having. We had one day at Universal and thoroughly enjoyed it. we were a group of 6 adults. Great value.
Loved this place. Everything went great and with the fast pass we did everything quickly and very low to no wait time. It was packed so the pass made things easy. Thanks to the reviews from other purchasers we learned the ropes before we even went. Helped us plan. We did everything early before the crowds and rode our favorites a couple of times. Then went back on fast pass and didn't have to wait. Thanks Viator we will use you again.
Great Day!! We arrived early and missed some of the crowds, so were able to move quickly to the rides. We did every one of them, the front of line pass was handier as the crowds poured in!! Our favourite ride was the Transformers, but the highlight was the Backlot Tour!!
I had the best time ever with the front of the line tickets. We skipped all of the queues and did not have to wait at all to get on any of the rides.
Best money I spent to jump the queues. Only waited 6 minutes for a ride. If you can afford it upgrade to front of line pass you won't regret it.
always great

Brilliant. We had no problems getting in, there were no queues (but we were there in September, which is not peak season). Our Front of Line Pass gave us acess to all of the atractions as well as some behind-the-scenes access. The highlight was the new Despicable Me show, which was great. A fantastic day out!
Skip the line pass is certainly the way to go as it enables you to do most of the amazing rides on offer
Good .
This tour was more than amazing tnx viator
Well worth the money to get first crack at the great rides.
Great day and skip the line worth the extra money

We've been here before--about 10 years ago, in fact. The last time a diet craze swept the country, it ushered in more than 3,000 new food products on the wings of just three simple words: Eat less fat. And yet, in the ensuing decade, the number of overweight Americans increased by 15 percent, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, and the average American man's waist size increased by an inch and a half. Weight management became even more difficult, because the supermarket became more confusing, and the three simple words that were supposed to squeeze us back into our wedding suits let us down, terribly.
And it's about to happen all over again. "Consumers think carb-free is calorie-free, which it's not," says Leslie Bonci, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association (ADA)."They think someone's giving them permission to eat that food. And what's going to happen is, we're going to see people start to gain weight."
In January of last year, more than 400 people who work in the food industry gathered at the Adam's Mark hotel in Denver for the first-ever LowCarbiz Summit to learn how they could profit from the new craving for low-carbohydrate foods. What they heard at the start was a warning from Fred Pescatore, M.D., a protege of Dr. Robert Atkins, the original low-carb guru: "We can't be like low-fat," he said. "We can't be just a fad."
And then, for 2 days, they learned ways to turn the low-carb craze into exactly that. In between snacking on low-carb foods and drinking Bacardi and diet cola (the official adult beverage of the low-carb movement), conference goers attended sessions like "Low Carb for the Nondieter" and "The Scientific Case against Low Carb: Know What the Industry's Detractors Are Saying and How to Respond."
If you eat the typical American diet, it makes sense to cut down on carbs. To eat more protein. To limit saturated fat and eat the mono- and polyunsaturated kinds. We ought to be at the dawn of a new era in which everyone knows what's good and what's bad, what makes us fat and what keeps us thin.
But the truth about low-carb diets is that they work, just not in the way their supporters claim. See, any diet that requires you to cut out a certain number of foods--fats, carbs, whatever--works in the short term for one reason: because it causes you to consume fewer calories. "Weight loss is not based on how much carbohydrate one eats or how much fat one eats or how much protein one eats," argues Santhay Bowmen, Ph.D., a researcher in the Nutrient Data Laboratory at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). "It is independent of the micronutrient composition of the diet. If you eat less energy than you expend, then you lose weight." And that's the simple truth, whether you're eating only meat, or only grapefruit, or only Cracker Jack.
In the typical American diet, a lot of our calories come in the form of refined carbohydrates--including sugar, milled grains, and the sugar substitute high-fructose corn syrup, or HFCS. And there's no denying that they're bad for you. Refined carbs offer all the calories of their less-refined cousins, whole-grain breads and cereals, but with many important nutrients--in particular, fiber--stripped out of them. According to USDA data, the typical American eats roughly 50 teaspoons of natural and artificial sugar a day--that's 147 pounds of sweet stuff every year.
In this scenario, cutting out carbohydrates--at least certain carbohydrates--makes sense. Low-carb diets decrease calorie consumption in two ways: First, because they force you to cut out easy-to-eat junk foods--obvious ones, like potato chips, candy, and pretzels, and less-obvious ones, like white bread and bagels and fruit-juice blends. Cutting down on these empty calories is a plan with which few could argue.
But the other way low-carb diets work is by making eating a little less convenient. You can always toss a bagel into your briefcase as you head out the door; sliding in a serving of steak and eggs to nosh on the way to work is a little more complicated. That's great if you're looking to shave a few calories--and hence a few pounds. If you can't take it with you, you can't eat it on the way.
This protein lust is turning into a windfall for chicken, pig, and cattle ranchers. According to a LowCarbiz survey, 59 million Americans are on low-carb diets. Sales of eggs increased 18.5 percent from 2002 to 2003, while bacon was up 9.8 percent and lunchmeat up 3.8 percent, according to ACNielsen.
But it's not so great for companies selling grain-based foodstuffs. Sales of white bread, cookies, and cereals dropped about 3 percent in the same calendar year, according to ACNielsen. Packaged-food manufacturers needed to get their lardasses on the low-carb bus. And now that they have, the bus has started listing in a very dangerous direction.

Simply great. We did visit this lovely restaurant, located just next to the beach area of Iberostar hotel at Dominicus, based on TripAdvisor positive reviews. And reality was far beyond our big expectations.
In the end, we came twice during our 14 day stay and both evenings were awesome.
What to expect ? A couple will get for 80 EUR (or 100 USD) a 3-course delicious menu with grilled fish of the day, huge plate of lobsters and a dessert, a bottle of imported French wine, a huge glass of welcome coctail and depending on your thirst :) several digestive shots of local spirits. The plate of lobsters is really huge, you will need a few day relax from lobster meat, I guarantee that.
All prepared or served by Didier, the French owner, and his local staff, led by Maria and 2 cooks, who keep you and the other people all the time entertained and feel like being at home with best friends. Yep, the atmosphere around here is really like at home. Didier always introduces all the guests each to other so you have a chance to chat with people from various parts of world while enjoying a fab dinner. You just do not want to leave.
The main hit of the menu, fresh grilled lobsters, were the best ones we have ever eaten.
Make sure you make an advanced reservation, one day before minimum. Open at dinner time only, during day only a chance to take some drinks, no meals (we didnt try, just heard).
Good things need to be supported and this restaurant really deserves it.
Didier, Maria, thanx for a great time, if we ever come back to Dominicus, make sure you have a table for us available!

In case you are wondering, Almost Fit is NOT turning into a product review site – But I had the opportunity to take a look at one of the new cord-free MP3 players from Sony, and thought readers who listen to music while exercising might find my impressions helpful. But before I go further, here's the legal bit:
Disclosure: This post is not a paid review or endorsement, but Sony did send me the product to get my thoughts. I am in no way affiliated with Sony and have received no compensation for my impressions. And also, the legal bit makes me feel weird, like going to the principal's office for something I actually DID do this time, but it turns out it wasn't as bad as I thought. OK I feel slightly better.
Several weeks ago I received a note from Melissa, a Community Ambassador for Sony letting me know about a product line that they are promoting: the Sony W series cord-free mp3 players. I receive a fair number of these notes and offers to review products, but to be honest I rarely give them a second thought. In general I don't do product reviews, mostly because 9 times out of 10 the offer is for packaged/processed foods that I already know how I feel on principle, so I don't think it would really be fair. (The other exception has been cookbooks which I do review on occasion.)
This product on the other hand, since I'm not eating it , seemed like something I could check out – and the words "cord-free" piqued my interest. Plus I'm kind of a gadget junkie, though I usually take forever to buy them. (Note to Apple : I will gladly write up a review of the iPad or one of the new Macbook Pros if you want to send one to me. No, seriously.)
To provide a little context, lately when I run I use my iPhone with some 3rd party ear buds to listen to music or my ever growing list of podcasts. As many readers know, I am also an active iPhoneography enthusiast , so I generally have my phone (a.k.a. camera/ipod/everything-I-need-in-one-gadget) with me wherever I go. So, my iPhone with headphones is my primary source of comparison, though I am a product of the 80's Walkman generation, so I have a long history with portable music. In addition, I am also an amateur musician with a home recording studio, so I do use studio-grade headphones for music production – which means I'd like to think I have a reasonable ear for audio quality.
Overall, for readers of Almost Fit I think this product has value as a good workout tool, and as you will see in the review I LOVE not having to deal with headphone wires. The ear buds that I usually use with my iPhone are great both sound and comfort-wise, but I am continually fighting with them pulling during exercise routines. I also find it tough to do things like take photos with my phone along the way, or use exercise tracking applications (of which I'm a fan) while listening to music on my phone. So a separate device makes sense to me in some cases. That said, this device is not without it's flaws.
With that, here's the review.
The Product
Sony W Series Walkman MP3 Player (2GB model NWZ-W252)
Suggested Retail: $60
A few features: Holds approximately 470 songs (rough estimate), and is water resistant. The highlights on the packaging include "Up to 11 hours of music playback", "3 minute charge for 90 minutes of playback" and 2GB of storage (though the fine print says it's actually less).
Overall there are a lot of things to like about this device. Here are the biggest positives:
While I generally liked it, there were a few things that really bugged me.
Overall I like this device, and will continue to use it for running. I think for a general purpose MP3 player it still will not replace my phone or a larger iPod, but compared to a wired device like the iPod Nano which I would put in the same class, for workouts I'd take this one and ditch the wires in a heartbeat. I think the media storage is pretty small, but it is the same as the entry level Nano and in the same price bracket. Visually this looks a lot like a phone earpiece, so I wasn't self-conscious about how it looked; it felt pretty natural.
Thanks for reading Almost Fit. Hopefully you didn't find the review too terribly obnoxious. Comments are welcome.

xpost - need help identifying antique table- pic heavy
I'll post this on the decorating forum also.
I purchased this table almost 20 years ago from a friend. She was divorcing, moving out of state and needed money which means I overpaid but would have just given her the money anyway. Her father worked for an oil co and they had lived all over the world while she was growing up - this table was purchased in England. And that's the sum total either one of us know about it She doesn't want it back. I am getting ready to downsize and don't see it in my future home.
So the questions are, other than it's beautiful ;-) what can you tell me about this? Approx. age? Name for particular table or use? Guestimates on realistic selling price and/or venue? I appreciate any information.
I expect some of you to say I'm nuts for getting rid of it but I've thought about this a lot and there's just a limit to what I can have/keep in my life. This is not a piece from my family so has no special meaning in that way. For my friend, it was just one of many purchases during her family travels and she has kept the ones that hold the most meaning for her.
Pictures with enough detail to hopefully help with identification. Dimensions are 28"w x 17"d x 30"h
Close up of section where inlay lifted (long before I got it) and you can see some kind of paper beneath.
Underneath the top
Underneath the bottom
Close up of pegs or dowels
WOW! Nice piece.
Looks like a Biedermeier occasional table with an inlaid top (1840s-1860s) or may be Empire Revival (but it's too delicate for that, in my mind) The tripod base with bun or claw feet was one of their characteristic design details.
Check 1stdibs.com and contact those dealers with furniture of that era. Demand is there, but possible not in your area. Inlay can be repaired, but by a pro.
Similar table base, bun feet, but an Italian made copy ....
Okay, just talking through my hat here ...
While the base seems to be original Wiliam IV, I'm not so sure about the top. I wonder if what you have is a married piece, made up of parts from two or three other tables. Here's my reasoning:
The base has good, thick veneer and parallel saw marks, and looks very typical of the style. It's pegged, or at least has plugs over the screws. The nice bun feet are true to William IV.
But tables of this era didn't have a turned plate for the connection between the top and column -- at least not that I've seen. The joint would usually look quite a bit more structural, kind of like the interior of a house wall, with bracing and brackets, etc., to keep it stable. I wonder if the column and turned plate came from another piece, possible a candle stand.
The top has a shape consistent with the base, but the way the skirt is attached doesn't look right. I would not expect to see exposed screws here, but rather a glued joint with blocks behind it. I also think the skirt would be a little deeper. Could this be the top from another table, cut down to mimic the shape of the base, and with a skirt added?
Whether this is the case or not, it is certainly a lovely piece. I agree with calliope: Get it to an appraiser. And not just someone who deals in antiques, but someone who knows furniture from this period.
It's an "occasional table" ... you place them between windows and in other artful places in your rooms. Probably you know it as a "side table", next to a chair.
Very nice for holding a lamp and a cup of tea.
Thank you so much for the input.
lazygardens I took your advice and spent a couple of hours going through 1st dibs - oddly, or maybe not, the marquetry work that most closely resembles mine is always Dutch but that's where the similarities end. Do you think it would be a side table at 30" high? Maybe with a taller more straight backed upholstered side chair it would work to place a cup of tea but with our modern day sofas you'd be reaching pretty high!
calliope I do have to find a good source to have it evaluated.
Chibimimi I suppose anything is possible. It could be a Frankesteined piece and that's the type of information I'd get with a good evaluation. Have to figure out how to find the right person who as you say, knows furniture from this period. My brother deals in antique clocks so fingers crossed he knows someone who can help with furniture.
texasredhead I'm reasonably sure it's not a plant stand, or at least intended for that specific purpose. The risk to the marquetry from a spill would be too great and a sizable pot would cover much of that beauty. i use it as a purely decorate piece as you can see.
I guess the bottom line is I need accurate information before trying to sell - and the good news is maybe I didn't overpay afterall ;-)
Thank you, jemdandy . It's a pretty clock, not particularly valuable but I do love it. My father collected antique clocks as a hobby and I bought this one in an attempt to follow suit, knowing absolutely nothing about it except I liked the heavy beveled glass and the bim-bam strike ;-) I was fortunate to inherit many of his clocks and the rest reside with my brother who shared our father's interest and went into the clock business.

As you can tell, I'm pretty excited about Van Halen coming to Bangor this July! The guitar riffs that were laid down by Eddie Van Halen are still some of the greatest around! Now with that said, country music has some phenomenal guitar players, and Brad Paisley, as described by Guitar Magazine, is referred to as a 'Shredder' can play Eddie's riffs with ease as shown here with then 6 year old Avery Molek at a live performance in Pennsylvania!
One of my favorite contestants on this year's 'Dancing With the Stars' is disabled veteran Noah Galloway. His abilities despite the loss of an arm and a leg amaze me. When I watched this week's episode, I was cheering over his choice of a Darius Rucker tune. And then moved to tears by the surprise that awaited him.
Classic Rockers Van Halen will be coming to Bangor's Darling's Waterfront Pavilion on July 30th! David Lee Roth, Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang Van Halen will bring decades of great music to Bangor...but do you remember when Van Halen took a country twist with the album 'Strummin' with The Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen'?

Pics Please! Drapes on windows w/radiators below
I'm trying to figure out what to do on the downstairs windows where privacy isn't an issue. I'd like to do panels but nearly every window has a radiator below it.
What did you do? I am going for a more casual/transitional look in our LR/FR/TVroom
I have radiators in front of my windows too, since its an old house. I usually have sill length curtains but thought I would try something else in the living room.The linen panels come in to the sides of the radiator and the sheers go behind. These are hot water radiators and don't get dangerously hot. The cabinet hides it a bit.
Thanks Cooper. Here are 3 pics. The mini-blinds will be coming off of every window. Floors aren't done yet and nothing is painted yet either. And yes, in the third pic (a bedroom) The radiator is slightly off center below the right window. All of the BR rads are. Grrr.
What an absolutely gorgeous house! In the living room you could certainly do full-length drapes with hold-back only to the outside. In dining room, the built-in would interfere, so I would say a sheer shade would look beautiful. Maybe a sheer with an embroidered pattern similar to the leaded glass in the cabinet. In the bedrooms, you could do full-length panels, with hold-backs on either side to clear the radiator. Have you considered radiator covers? If I find photos tonite, I'll post.
Since privacy isn't a issue why not do just valances or sheer panels inside the window frame? If you place sheers inside the frame you can use pressure rods and you will get to enjoy the beauty of the window trim.
Thanks gwbr54! It has great bones but needs LOTS of TLC. There were holes in the walls, a leaky roof, and many other issues that we have to take care of. This obviously absorbs a lot of the budget as well. I hadn't really considered sheers b/c I always think of those as part of the layered look w/drapes. But I guess I could do them instead of panels. I like the pressure rod idea too- Carol from NY- and that is certainly an inexpensive option! Gwbr54- I'm a novice at this so not sure what you mean by the hold-backs but if I'm correct in my thinking then the inside panels would hit the rad right? Or do you mean simply 2 panels- one on each side of the outer most part of the windows? Like one on the far left and the other on the far right? So the window edges closest to the rads have nothing? Can I do that? Not sure of "The Rules" haha. And as for upstairs, I'm planning on cellulose and/or other blinds for the kids' rooms, maybe with other things (valences?) as well but they are lower on my list of priorities at this point. Also, I have rad covers- they were in the basement in a storage room that had a pile of COAL!!! in it. Haven't dusted them off yet to see what they look like.
Thank you so much for your help!
Grandma- Yes I like Roman Shades. Are they functional too or do I put another blind that provides privacy?
How about these sheers, sill-length in the DR and maybe in LR too? Too blah? The pattern closely matches the leaded glass which is in the DR and also the LR. They aren't visible in these pics but there are 2 built-ins in the back of the LR identical to those in the DR.
We had this situation in our last house. I dug up some pics. In one room we did sill-length sheers hung on a pressure rod with a valance above it. In the other, we used lace door panels (with rod pockets at both top and bottom) - we used 2 or 3 per window so they were sheered tightly and used 2 pressure rods to mount them. I liked both treatments.
I will attach pics of both below - in both picture, please ignore the wallpaper (it was from the previous owners and I never redecorated) and the plastic/desk in the doorway of the lace picture - we were stripping lead paint in the hallway on the other side of that doorway!).
IMO, it looks better to use sill-length or inside-mount treatments (like roller shades) when you have radiators below the window. I would be nervous about things melting or catching on fire otherwise. (Oh, and upstairs, where we had the same issue but more concerns about privacy, we used inside mount white wood blinds in one room and inside mount roller shades with valances on the kids rooms.)
ONE SIDED HOLD BACK (hold back is the metal thing holding back the drape instead of a fabric tieback)
From a practical standpoint, you may need heavier drapes to help hold in the heat. But if not, I think sheer shades, with an outset mount, and hung as high as possible, could look fabulous. An outside mount would give a more substantial proportion to the window, which suits the public rooms. Even though the shade would cover the pretty window trim, the trim would still be visible through a sheer fabric. If you could use that sheer fabric resembling the leaded glass, all the better.
Another possibility is to hang sheers on swing-arm rods, which allow open or closed position. Here's OPEN:
And here is CLOSED:

Every Servo release strives to be the biggest ever, and today's continues that trend with significant improvements to three areas of Servo: the main landing page, the campaign reporting section, and perhaps most significantly, the ad building screen.
New Campaign Index page
The Campaign Index page has received a complete overhaul. Campaign start and end dates are now positioned alongside the campaign's status icon. There is also a new easy-to-read visual that illustrates how far along the campaign has run in terms of its start and end dates.
Additionally, there is now the ability to navigate directly to the various areas within each campaign such as your tags or campaign reports. And if, for example, a campaign does not have any placements, creatives, or ads you can launch directly into the creation process right from the campaign index page. Fewer clicks and page loads means even faster campaign trafficking.
When the campaign reports section was launched, the default date range was the past 30 days. Thanks to some behind-the-scenes speed improvements, the default reporting date range is now "campaign to date." A complete overview of your campaign's performance from day one is now shown immediately. The reporting date range selector now also includes a shortcut to choose the campaign's entire date range with a single click. This new default date range applies to both Advertiser and Publisher reporting.
Ad Index
The biggest improvements in Servo's latest release have been on the advertisement index and building experiences.
Our team noticed that users sometimes had challenges reading and following some of the more complicated (longer) naming schemes used for creatives and placements within their campaigns. In addition to readability, overall browser performance was sometimes an issue, especially as the size of a campaign grew. Campaigns containing thousands of ads would sometimes cause web browsers to behave sluggishly. Fundamental improvements to the entire ad building process had to be made.
The advertisements main screen now contains a tabbed layout. You'll see a tab for your existing ads, one for placements that have not yet been trafficked and the same for creatives. Now it is immediately clear which objects have or have not been trafficked. Newly uploaded creatives and placements can be located instantly.
The visual layout of each row on the main advertisements screen has also been optimized especially to help traffic larger, complex campaigns more easily. Longer ad names can now be read more clearly and attributes are arranged and grouped in more intuitive ways. Details about each attribute appear just by hovering over them—no need to click and open the single view of the ad.
1×1 Creation
When creating 1×1 impression trackers, Servo now automatically creates your advertisements for you. In the previous version of Servo, each 1x1s ad had to be created manually. That was more cumbersome, especially if you had to make the same change to many 1x1s.
And that leads us to the most significant part of the latest Servo release…
Bulk Editing of Advertisements
One of Servo's most highly-requested features is finally ready. Editing hundreds or thousands of ads simultaneously in Servo is as simple as using everyone's favorite spreadsheet format: XLS. On the main Ads page, start by clicking the "Download traffic sheet" button. Within seconds, the complete list of all ads and their settings in your campaign is downloaded in XLS format. Edit the file as needed, then just upload it to Servo.
Attributes that can be bulk edited:
- Click-through URLs
- Impression tracker URLs
- Redirect URLs
- Start and end dates (and time)
- Rotation and weighting
To maintain data integrity, Servo scans your uploaded traffic sheet for any accidental errors or omissions, and provides user friendly warnings related to changes that may have unforeseen effects.
Bulk editing can only be used to make edits to existing ads; Servo must still be used to define the relationships between placements and creatives.
Ad Building
The ad building process also benefits from increased speed and time saving features. When trafficking a placement or a creative, search speed has been significantly improved. We have also cleaned up the single ad layout design by reducing the vertical space.
Rich Media Click-throughs
Click tracker URLs can now be set for ads that use rich media creatives. As long as the creative development team has implemented the Servo Rich Media API, ad ops teams can now specify the click tracker for rich media creatives, the same way they've always been able to for other types of creative.
Servo: The only constant is innovation.
If you have a sneaking suspicion that there's a talented team of experts constantly conspiring to help make mobile marketing easier, you're absolutely right! The Medialets team is dedicated to bringing constant innovations to Servo that empower agencies and brands.

Citrus Newbie Questions
Hi all, a couple of questions from a beginner gardener. I recently brought home two dwarf citrus trees (one Meyer lemon and one Mexican lime) in 5 gallon containers. They've been living on my porch for two months and have been quite happy in the mild South Bay weather, producing some new growth and leaves, many flowers, and even some fruit.
A week straight of rain, however, has left them with some sooty mold, powdery mildew and some unidentifiable bright yellow dusty thing. I've started to spray them with Green Light Rose Defense which was recommended by the nursery to guard against aphid and spider mite infestation (as well as a leaf miner infestation which has been going on since about two weeks after I got them). However, I've also noticed that the trees are really not getting as much sun as I though they were. In late summer/early fall they were getting about 5-6 hours of full sun, but now I think it's down to 3-4.
In light of this change (pun definitely intended) and the presence of molds, I was wondering if maybe a grow light would help. I would like to keep the plants outdoors since I'm concerned about the indoors being too humid and about the possibility of bugs living in the soil. As such, I wouldn't want to leave a grow light on outdoors while not in the apartment for safety reasons, so I was thinking of just turning on the light for a few hours after returning home from work. Does this sound like a good or bad idea? I wasn't sure if maybe plants prefer continuous light to: natural light then a patch of darkness then sudden grow lamp light for a couple hours before returning to nighttime dark. If it sounds like a go, any recommendations for what type of light/wattage?
Or, should I bring it indoors and keep it under a light throughout the day? If so, are there any tips I should follow for preventing bugs/mold hitching a ride on the plant into my apartment?
Thanks in advance.
in the bay area, i would think the outside would be more humid than inside.
a grow light or two would probably help if its too cloudy in your area.
high wattage CFL bulbs (60W: 300W incandescent equivalent)
10-12" brooder/reflector lamps
power strip/surge protector
Thanks for the light recommendations!
So, there shouldn't be a problem if I opt for turning on a grow light at night? I searched around for an answer, and I think the link below basically emphasizes that growth and respiration occur throughout the day, whether or not light is present.
Here is a link that might be useful: using grow lights
yes, most plants do grow and respirate throughout the day. but they can't photosynthesize without light. some plants are low light plants and grow very well in full and partial shade. other plants are high light plants that require more light for a longer period of time each day than the lower light plants.
citrus would be considered high to medium-high light plants. you mentioned your trees have flowers, new growth and even some fruits. the low light conditions its in right now will not provide enough energy for them to maintain its current condition, mainly the fruits.
you can think of it in calories, say a pregnant woman or an athlete. an average person needs around 2K calories per day to maintain. we just had a son about 3 months ago, we were told and read that a pregnant woman needs to increase her caloric intake by about 500 calories. i used to workout a lot in college, if i remember correctly athletes (depending on the activity/sport) needs anywhere from 1K to 3K more calories than the average person. most people have seen the tv ads about the starving children in Africa or the documentaries of the Jews in the concentration camps and how skinny and emaciated they are b/c of the lack of food/caloric intake.
from the link below:
"Photosynthesis is the biological conversion of light energy into chemical energy. This occurs in green plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria.
Photosynthesis consists of two series of biochemical reactions, called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions use the light energy absorbed by chlorophyll to synthesize structurally unstable high-energy molecules. The dark reactions use these high-energy molecules to manufacture carbohydrates. The carbohydrates are stable structures that can be stored by plants and by bacteria. Although the dark reactions do not require light, they often occur in the light because they are dependent upon the light reactions. In higher plants and algae, the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis occur in chloroplasts, specialized chlorophyll-containing intracellular structures that are enclosed by double membranes.
In the light reactions of photosynthesis, light energy excites photosynthetic pigments to higher energy levels and this energy is used to make two high energy compounds, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH ( nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). ATP and NADPH are consumed during the subsequent dark reactions in the synthesis of carbohydrates."

15 Small Business Lessons From Richard Branson
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Everything comes down to the people you hire to run your company, Branson said. Those running the company have to love it, and they also have to believe in the products you sell. The CEO must care as much about the cleaning ladies and switchboard operators as well as the company's other directors. The Virgin Group tries to maintain an equal number of men and women on its boards and in it's staffing. Too often corporate boards are overwhelmingly male, Branson said, but he believes companies benefit from a more equal split.

Just as many Catholics have connected Pope Francis' humility and austere lifestyle with that of St. Francis of Assisi, those seeking clues on the new pontiff's approach to Christian-Muslim relations see another example in his iconic namesake.

Women's underwear from EMS has everything you need from casual tops to women's camisoles. MORE
Sports bras from the EMS women's underwear selection offer functional support as well as comfort and style. MORE
Don't get left out in the cold! Check out long underwear and sleeved crews tops in women's underwear. BACK
For women athletes, finding the right sports bra is like finding a great relationship. A poor-fitting bra can make your life worse instead of better! No matter what your size, always wear a sports bra to avoid back and neck strain, chafing, and damage to the breast ligaments. Here's a quick checklist of how to buy a sports bra that fits.
This may sound obvious, but over 70-80% of women don't choose the right size. Be sure to get measured. For tips on how to measure your bra size, see column at right.
Choose a bra that provides enough support for your level of activity or impact. At EMS, we indicate the best impact level for each of our sports bras:
Most sports bras compress the breasts tight against the chest, but fuller-breasted women may find that a bra with separate cups (encapsulation) provides more support.
Today's sports bras offer many fabric options with different benefits. High-performance polyester (such as CoolMax®) delivers powerful moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and breathability. A percentage of cotton adds comfort. Stretchy Lycra® spandex offers incredible fit, support, and shape retention.
More support will come from bra features like extra lining, reinforced side panels, racer-back design, and wide shoulder straps with stabilizers and spacer fabric.
With traditional hook closures, you can better customize the fit. If you're wearing a pack, however, look for hooks on the front versus the back. Some women prefer a pullover style with no hooks. If you're large-breasted, the hook closure tends to be easier to take on and off.
Beyond impact level, your sport may influence which bra features to choose. For example, our female climbers look for strap positionings that allow full range of arm movement. Our trail-runners like a mesh liner and single-layer back that releases excess heat.
Sports bras should be snug enough to fit one finger underneath the front and back, and two fingers under each strap. The band shouldn't ride up too high, and straps shouldn't dig in. You shouldn't bulge out of the cups nor find excess fabric. Cups need to keep breasts centered and not pushed in or up.
Follow wash care instructions to ensure the life of the bra. Toss the bra if:
Jump up and down! Twist side to side. Make sure the bra lets you move without shifting, binding, or chafing. If your sports bra doesn't fit, return it! At Eastern Mountain Sports, we accept all returns with a valid receipt.
Can't decide what to buy?
Let them decide!
Choose from all brands

Three-peat for Chargers as Steelers await _ again
That was evident when Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes ran a wrong pass route against Cincinnati, causing a Ben Roethlisberger-thrown interception that was returned for a touchdown. Still, the quarterback has thrown for 497 yards the last two weeks, with rookie Mike Wallace making seven catches for 102 yards against the Bengals.
Normally one of the NFL's most run-driven teams, the Steelers are having nearly as much trouble on the ground as the Chargers. Willie Parker, who ran for 146 yards and two scores against San Diego in the playoffs and 115 yards during the season, has a turf toe that might keep him out.
Rashard Mendenhall, a first-round pick a year ago, so troubled coach Mike Tomlin with his practice work last week that he never carried against Cincinnati. Mendenhall no doubt wants to make up for that embarrassment.
"We know they're going to come out and try to pound the ball," Chargers cornerback Quentin Jammer said.
The Steelers don't need to be told how difficult it might become if they lose three in a row for the first time since 2006, despite the fact their next two games are against Detroit (1-2) and Cleveland (0-3).
"If we lose this one, it's not going to be looking good for the Steelers," Farrior said.
There's also this ray of hope for the Chargers: Since 2002, they are 5-0 against the team that won the Super Bowl the previous season.
"The feeling right now is: Why do we have to go back to Heinz Field?" Jammer said. "We just came back from there, twice. I don't think we've ever won in there. ... So it's important to go up there and come out 3-1 before the bye week."
