FRESNO, Calif. – Costly turnovers and poor shooting were to blame for a 60-50 loss at the Save Mart Center Saturday.
The loss is the Rams' (11-4, 3-1 MW) first on the road this season. The Bulldogs improve to 9-5 and 4-0 in the league, and maintain first place in the standings. The final tally of 50 points is the lowest CSU has scored all year.
The Rams got off to a fast start, shooting 50.0 percent, with a seven-point lead nearing the midway point of the first frame, but from there they went cold. Fresno State took advantage, going on a 13-0 run. The Bulldogs took a 13-point lead into the locker room at the half.
"We just didn't handle their pressure as well as we should have," commented Head Coach Ryun Williams. "I think the decision making was the big part (today). They got the game sped up a little bit, which was fine. We wanted to attack when opportunities presented themselves. We missed those opportunities, and then sometimes we forced the attack when we shouldn't have been attacking. Our judgment and our decision making was crucial."
Twice this season CSU has overcame 13-point deficits to win, and the Rams came out into the second stanza with that in mind, opening the half on an 8-2 run, shooting 80.0 percent. Then the shooting bug struck again, this time for both teams. For 3 minutes, neither team could convert, plummeting the Rams second-half shooting percentage to .364. Colorado State shot .353 on the afternoon.
The Rams defense was stalwart in the final 20 minutes, forcing the Bulldogs to throw up bad shots to avoid a shot clock violation on three consecutive possessions.
CSU gave up nine turnovers in the first half, to which Fresno State scored 16 points. The Rams ended up with 15 on the day, surpassing their average of 11.9, the most since the Rams gave away 19 vs. Weber State. Gritt Ryder, who was third in the Mountain West in assist-to-turnover ratio, had a rare off-day, with nine giveaways.
Freshman Ellen Nystrom continued her scoring streak, with 17 points on the day for her seventh game of the year in double figures. Sam Martin added a quiet 10 to CSU's score, while AJ Newton had nine points.
Colorado State returns home for a matchup against another undefeated team in Utah State (8-5, 2-0 MW) Wednesday at 7 p.m. MT. The Aggies host Nevada tonight at 7 p.m.

|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2010)
|It has been suggested that this article be merged with Companions of Saint Nicholas. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2011.
Belsnickel (also Belschnickel, Belznickle, Belznickel, Pelznikel, Pelznickel, from pelzen (or belzen, German for to wallop or to drub[1]) and Nickel being a hypocorism of the given name Nikolaus) is a crotchety, fur-clad Christmas gift-bringer figure in the folklore of the Palatinate region of southwestern Germany along the Rhine, the Saarland, and the Odenwald area of Baden-Württemberg. The figure is also preserved in Pennsylvania Dutch communities.[2] The Belsnickel shows up at houses 1–2 weeks before Christmas and often created fright because he always knew exactly which of the children misbehaved.[3] He is typically very ragged and mean looking. He wears torn, tattered, and dirty clothes, and he carries a switch in his hand with which to beat bad children. The children escape unharmed, but they are scared into being good so that Santa will bring them presents on Christmas.
The tradition also exists in parts of Newfoundland, the prairie provinces of Canada and some communities in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina.[4]
Cultural perspective[edit]
Belsnickel is a man wearing fur which covers his entire body, and he sometimes wears a mask with a long tongue. He is related to other companions of Saint Nicholas in the folklore of German-speaking Europe. Unlike these figures, Belsnickel does not accompany Saint Nicholas but instead visits alone[5] and combines both the threatening and the benign aspects which in other traditions are divided between the Saint Nicholas and the companion figure.
Amongst the Pennsylvania Germans, Belsnickel is the character who visits homes prior to Christmas to check up on the behavior of the children. He would rap on the door or window with his stick and often the children would have to answer a question for him or sing some type of song. In exchange he would toss candies onto the floor. If the children jumped too quick for the treats, they may end up getting struck with Belsnickel's switch. Although he may seem like a harsh character, the tradition of Belsnickel is an amusing one and rather benign.
Krampus and Belsnickel are two separate Christmas characters. Krampus is a wild, horned figure akin to the devil. His name translates to "claw". Belsnickel, on the other hand, dressed in furs and was very human, save for his short stature. His folk tale was passed down to generations of Germans who immigrated to America, primarily to Pennsylvania (the Pennsylvania Dutch, Deitsch, or Deutsch).
There are two versions of Belsnickel, the rural and the urban characters. Both are described in the book, Christmas in Pennsylvania: a folk cultural study, by Alfred L. Shoemaker and Don Yoder.
Popular culture[edit]
A writer to the letters column of "The Times" refers to an illustration of 'Pelz-Nickel' in a book by English author Harriet Myrtle, The Little Sister (1851). German illustrator H.J. Schneider depicted him as a Santa-like figure 'in a long cloak, pointed hood, a fur round his neck, with a long white beard, and a big bag.' [6]
Dwight K. Schrute portrayed Belsnickel in The Office episode "Dwight Christmas".

The semester has kicked off and you're no doubt starting to feel a little more comfortable with your schedule and are easing into your new class curriculum. Attending class each day is vital in learning the material, but you need to also pay attention. At this point, it's common knowledge that if you write something down, you're more likely to remember it. This works in several ways when you're a student. First, if you're taking notes during a lecture, you're more engaged in the material, second, by writing it down you're more likely to remember it, and third, because you wrote it down you now have reference material to use later for studying.
Taking good notes doesn't start in the classroom, instead you should get primed before you get there.
Be prepared: Do your homework and reading before you get to class so you're familiar with the content.
Pick a good seat: For some this will be near the front of the room so the material can be better heard and seen. For those that thrive on distraction, sometimes off to the side works better. Know yourself and pick wisely.
Ask questions: If you miss something, or don't understand the concept discussed, speak up (or stay after class to ask). Your notes will be far more useful if you can actually comprehend them. Continue reading

Justin Timberlake in Levi's
Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake were together on the set of "Bad Teacher" in Los Angeles, California. It sure looks like they still get along even though they are a former couple. This is probably the only time we will get to see Justin out of his own William Rast brand, so check it out, here he is on the set wearing Levi's.
Lorna's note – Cameron is also wearing 7 For All Mankind gummy gwenevere jeans.
Kate Bosworth in Denim Jacket
Kate Bosworth was seen leaving Madeo restaurant in West Hollywood, California wearing a denim jacket. I've been having a really hard time trying to ID this jacket. At first our writer Jonathan and I thought it was this jacket by Paul & Joe but Kate's doesn't have any zips on the sleeves and the bottom of the jacket is slightly different. Other than that, it looks pretty identical! Can anyone help us out on who it's by?

Hapy New Year...Happy Gardening
Hello everyone: It's been quite some time since Ive been on the forum. For one thing my computer has been acting up, and then there have been other family issues to deal with. I still managed to have a fairly 'fruitful' garden this summer, having branched out into several pepper varieties, melons, and squash which did quite well. I even had some of my own squash for Christmas dinner. Now the new year is here and I have already collected my catalogues which I will be searching for new things to plant. I plan to re-plant quite a few areas in my flower gardens, but just a glance at most catalogues shows so many hybrids. I like to plant natives and heirlooms, so I can save and trade seeds. I did not save many seeds this year, but will soon be updating my seed lists, and I hope most of you have done the same so I have make some trades. I have come to love Columbine, but never seem to get around to saving the seeds, so I'm always on the look-out for more.
Here's wishing everyone and happy and peaceful 2011, and may your Winter Sowing be successful and rewarding.
Hi Northerner
Happy new year and best wishes for a successful gardening year! :)
I have some columbine seeds that would love to come your way and grow in your garden. Let me know where to send them (my e-mail is on 'my page') and I will send them off to you.
Happy New Year!
Still thinking about WS but holding off. We are not having the normal cold spells in Ontario. It actually rained the other day. So I'm waiting until mid-Jan or end-Jan. Have tons of water jug containers saved from the summer. Should have some fun with that.
Glad to be here this winter - it's been years for me.
I might do a little wintersowing this time around, but only a LITTLE, as I, too, have almost no room for any more plants until I remove or trade some of my current ones. I went a bit overboard last year in terms of WS, and now I feel like I don't want to do any more for a while. Maybe it's just winter getting me down. Sowing some seeds in the cold days of January should boost my morale, right??
Starting seeds in January should, technically, work for morale-boosting. However i have a new toy that will take up my weekends for awhile:
Chase Edmund, born on Dec. 31st - mommy couldn't hang on until the 1st, so he isn't a New Year's baby, but we love him anyway! LOL
Congradulations Marcia. NOW THAT'S A WINTER SOW TO WATCH!! Looks like Chase will be a hansom perennial for years to come. Best wishes to the parents.
Happy New Year to all. I hope to do some WS for the first time . We're going south at the end ofJan for 2 weeks so I'm sure that will either inspire me or depress me to do more WS . Do you cover the containers with snow? bury them in snow? or just put them out on the deck? Little snow here 6-8" only
Take care Lois
Thanks, all! :) He's a sweetie, all right. I got to see him on Sunday and hold him most of the afternoon. His mom says he's on night shift so she's pretty tired. Like father, like son, but i hope Chase straightens out sooner than his dad did!
Lois, i have a table outside and just put my containers on that. The snow buries them, or doesn't, depending on how much we have. It's better with lots of snow, just like for your flower beds, but it doesn't really matter that much. The seeds still germinate in the spring and become good tough plants. :)
Congratultions, Marcia. What wonderful gift. He'll be great boy, after all, born under the same sign as me - my birthday is Jan 2!!!
Peggy, beware of holding off until later. I did that last year and it never did get really cold with lots of snow as we usually get later in the winter and then I did not get good germination for those seeds that need several freeze/thaw cycles, so I will be starting next week. I did not plan on doing lots of WSing this year - just want to replace a few things that I got tired of, but I promised a neighbour to do some planting for him. He has a new house and is single father of two, so he needs some help. Of course there will be my petunias - it's just a thrill to see what appears each year. Most of my planting this year will be devoted to peppers and tomatoes which I start indoors and lots of veggies which are either direct sown or spring sown. I am in the process of ridding my house of whitefly/aphids which were brought in by some pepper plants I hoped to overwinter. I have some'decoy' plants out and I have made my sticky traps and I hope that will take care of them. Will be touch...
Hi Northerner,
I am starting this week with my winter sowing. I'm the same with more veggie starts.
Outdoors I'll be doing a huge batch of coneflowers, delphiniums, daisies and lavender. Indoor starts are restricted to my growing stand (4 shelf outdoor greenhouse) I bring indoors to the static patio door. As I pick up more flower seeds on the next trips to Rona or Canadian Tire, they'll be heading outside too.
Excellent point made. We are having lots of freezing and thawing - beyond weird for January.

Christiane Amanpour had one burning question for Bashar Ja-afari, Syria's UN Ambassador: "How do you sleep at night?" The CNN correspondent interviewed Ja-afari on Tuesday as members of Congress debated the U.S. response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria. During the interview, which grew somewhat heated at times, Amanpour asked: "How do you sleep at night, Mr. Ja-afari, defending a regime and government that has caused so much bloodshed and that has really crossed the line from any kind of civil war into weapons of mass destruction? Into one the highest crimes of international law? How do you personally sleep at night?" Click here to watch the exchange.

I have a 1st year Cascade plant that is about 11ft tall and has started producing baby cones that are still very small. Just today I noticed that 4 of these cones were either completely eaten or wilted and discolored. I found a cricket/grasshoper thing on my hop plant so I took him away, but is it best to prune the munched hop cones? Or just leave them? Will they grow back or no? Is it safe to spray insecticidal soap on the cones, or just near them?
Primary: Empty
Secondary: Empty
Bottled: Christmas Ale
Conditioning: Nothing
On Deck: Oktoberfest/Summer Ale

No one?
"sevin" is safe. As soon as it dry's its goes inactive.
If the cones are damaged I would remove them...depending on the dmg most never recover. I wouldnt use Sevin (it will flare spider mites). An insecticidal soap is fine to use on cones....however once bugs get in the cones its next to impossible to get them out. I would cut off the dmged cones and depending on your choices either an insecticidal soap or a permethrin based product.

Merry Christmas to all....as I unplug for the holidays.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I wish all of my CF friends the very best of the season and special times with your family and friends.
Above all a happy, healthy, SAFE , peaceful and prosperous 2013.
Merry Christmas, Sharon, and all of my friends here.
Makayla and I baked cookies all day, checked the NORAD Santa Tracker and I have to call her when Santa is headed for North America because she doesn't have internet.
Best wishes for a wonderful 2013.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
A rather quiet Christmas for us, we had the kids overnight on Saturday, going to my mom's for dinner with her and my sisters tonight and then dinner at our neighbors tomorrow.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy and joyous Christmas!
Merry Christmas, one and all! We got some surprise snow, so it is just a picture perfect Christmas Eve.
I still have plenty of Christmas prep to do, but I took a break to see Santa on the fire engine on my street tonight.
Merry Christmas to everyone on the CF and a Very Happy New Year filled with tasty things.
It's quiet at our house tonight but tomorrow we are going to Michael and Amy's home where the most of the family will be gathering. There will be somewhere between 16 - 20 people. Michael is making a 15 pound standing rib roast, we have already consulted by phone, text and email. I'm sure it, and everything else will be wonderful. Best of al1 is family.
Wishing the best of everything to everyone.
Totally unplugged because the family (of 30) has to reschedule due to colds and stuff from some members. OK for me, I don't want them to share. Maybe New Year's Day? In the meantime all the bidzillions of appetizers I made for the ravenous teens have to be frozen until then. Since we were expecting to have spiral ham and venison roast from fam hostess, I put a pork tenderloin in the fridge to defrost for tomorrow. It was either that or PB&J. LOL
Merry Christmas to all, Happy Hanukkah too.
And we'll have to drink the wine we intended to bring in case it goes bad before then.
Merry Christmas Sharon, and Everyone!
Christmas Eve is winding down. Went to early mass (first time ever - GOOD MOVE!!!) then we had family over for a dinner that I didn't know I was hosting until yesterday afternoon. Ruthanna's lobster stuffed filet mignon was a hit. (Thanks, Ruthanna!) Santa just finished wrapping and I am more than ready for bed. Best to all.
p.s. Jimtex!!! Great to see you!
Merry merry Christmas, everyone. We're having a thunderstorm this morning, which is supposed to change over to a wintry mix this afternoon - we'll see. Usually any snow forecast is taken with a grain of salt around here.
We had lasagna for Christmas eve dinner, and everyone wanted tamales for Christmas dinner, so we're having Sharon's spinach enchiladas, tamales, and some kind of Mexican slaw I'm going to try to duplicate. I realized that I accidentally planned for basically the same dish from different cultures - enchiladas from Mexico and lasagna from Italy. Oh, well, I've never been good at menu planning.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year, everyone!
Merry Christmas, all! I hope you all ate too much and Santa brought you lots of cool kitchen gadgets.

|Baileyville, Maine
Baileyville is a town in Washington County, Maine, United States. The population was 1,521 at the 2010 census.[5] Within the town is the census-designated place of Woodland. The town was originally settled by Quakers in 1780. In 1830, Ezekiel Bailey began the commercial manufacture of oilcloth. The business flourished and expanded until it comprised several factories, which burned down in 1921.[6]

Water powered sawmills and paper mills at Woodland used wooden logs and pulpwood floated down the Saint Croix River. These mills were connected to the national rail network via the Maine Central Railroad and under Georgia-Pacific operation[7] originated or terminated over 6,000 railway carloads in 1973.[8] The Maine Central business has since been discontinued, and the only rail service left as of 2012 was a spur line that connected Woodland to St. Stephen, New Brunswick for the shipment of pulp and paper to Saint John.

Johnson set to jump out of Crosby's shadow
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- "Overshadow" doesn't completely describe what Sidney Crosby has done to the rest of the 2005 NHL draft class. Obliterate? Eclipse? Black hole?
But within the great shadow cast by the Canadian phenom, there are players whose NHL futures are every bit as rosy as Crosby's. One of them is American defenseman Jack Johnson, who has been a close friend of Crosby's since the two were young high schoolers in Minnesota and who has been visiting Crosby in his hometown of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, leading up to the draft.
|A Bump in the Road
Jack Johnson's career has been marked by the odd crater.
Some scouts say he's too eager to lay out the thunderous check, taking himself out of position to do so. And not getting chosen for the 2005 national junior team that competed in North Dakota was a significant disappointment.
Johnson, who was expected to make the team, found out he'd been overlooked by logging on to the USA Hockey Web site at school with a group of teammates looking over his shoulder.
"There was kind of an awkward silence, and I said, 'Looks like I'll be home for Christmas,'" Johnson said.
No one can really say why Johnson was excluded, although age was a factor in a tournament traditionally dominated by 19-year-olds. Still, it was a decision that left USA Hockey open to criticism -- especially in the wake of a sloppy defensive performance and a disappointing fourth-place finish for the defending gold medal winners.
David Quinn, an assistant with the '05 World Junior team, simply said the selection process is not infallible.
"There are flaws," he said. "I think Jack would have fit in well. Jack certainly could have been on the team and helped us."
Such a snub might have resulted in a loss of focus or petulance, yet Johnson never missed a beat. Under-18 head coach Ron Rolston said Johnson continued to be the consummate professional, practicing hard and preparing diligently for games.
"He's a big part of what we're doing here," Rolston said. "He's one of the guys that leads by example. Guys look up to him because of his ability."
Do the two of them get recognized when they're at the local Tim Hortons coffee shop?
Johnson laughs.
"Everywhere we go, stopping in at Tim's to get a coffee, someone's always stopping him to ask for his autograph," he said. "I'm just the guy next to him."
That kind of anonymity isn't new to Johnson, but it might become a part of his past Saturday, when he likely will be selected with the second overall pick by the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
"He's probably as physically gifted a player as there is in this draft," said David Quinn, Johnson's former coach with USA Hockey's National Team Development Program and now an assistant coach at Boston University. "He's so agile on his skates. He's got great lateral movement. All he wants to do is be a great player."
At 6-foot-1, 201 pounds, the 18-year-old Johnson has been compared to Scott Stevens and Denis Potvin. His heavy shot is outweighed only by his heavy hitting. As a 17-year-old, Johnson played above his age group and helped the U.S. Under-18 team to a silver medal at the 2004 World Championships. Earlier this spring, Johnson and the U-18 team completed a dramatic undefeated run through the 2005 tournament with a 5-1 thumping of Canada in the gold medal game.
Johnson flew under the radar, given the MVP performance turned in by U.S. forward Phil Kessel (16 points in six games), yet the well-spoken blueliner is considered by scouting services, including the NHL's Central Scouting and the independent Red Line Report, as the top defenseman in the draft.
"If Jack Johnson was a Canadian, north of the border they would be singing his praises. He'd be a highly visible player," said Ken Martel, director of player personnel for the National Team Development Program.
But you won't find anything approaching envy or bitterness when discussing Crosby's profile with Johnson.
"I get enjoyment out of it. The attention he gets, he deserves," Johnson said. "He didn't just roll out of bed and get it. If I'm going to be in anyone's shadow, I want to be in his."
Crosby and Johnson, who played together at Shattuck-St. Mary's prep school in Faribault, Minn., were the only 10th-grade students on the school's midget team that won a national championship.
Johnson said he has learned a great deal about preparation and dealing with the pressure of stardom from watching how Crosby has handled himself.
"He's still the same kid," Johnson said this week.
The two talk three or four times a week and plan to sit together at Saturday's draft in Ottawa if the circumstances of the abbreviated event allow. The two will also take part in a clinic for local minor hockey players the day before the draft.
Some time ago, the two friends quietly pledged to follow each other to the podium as the top two players in their draft class. They planned in the way teenagers plan these things, for the photo op, arms around each other's shoulders, wearing the jerseys of their new teams. It is a plan that has every chance of coming to pass.
"We're hoping," Johnson admitted.
Born in Indiana, Johnson got started on his part of the plan after his family moved to suburban Detroit. His mother, Tina, knew hockey would be part of her son's life when he first took the ice as a preschooler.
"He just stood up and started across the rink. There was no falling down, no holding onto the boards. He just did it as if it was the most natural thing in the world," she said.
From the time he was 9 years old, Johnson has attended summer hockey camps at the University of Michigan, and he told legendary coach Red Berenson early on that he would play for the Wolverines someday.
Johnson was invited to the Select 15 Festival, a gathering of the top pre-junior players in the United States. When the event was over, Johnson was asked by Quinn to join the NTDP program in Ann Arbor, Mich. The 15-year-old then was offered a scholarship by Berenson.
"There aren't many kids you'd make that kind of commitment to," said Berenson, who calls Johnson the "complete package."
With four senior defensemen leaving Michigan this offseason, the expectations are already high for Johnson to step into one of the most demanding programs in NCAA hockey.
For a young man who just turned 18, it would be easy to become consumed by the perks of his position -- the travel, the possibilities that lie ahead.
But Johnson knows the sacrifices that have been made to get him to Saturday's draft. His family has been willing to sacrifice its own stability, but not its togetherness, to give him every chance to succeed in hockey. Although the plan was for Johnson to live on campus at Shattuck-St. Mary's, his parents quit their jobs and moved to a house across the street from the school's rink. When Johnson was recruited by the NTDP, the family was uprooted once again.
"I think about it all the time," he said. "If all this stuff works out, it's all because my parents got up at 4 in the morning to take me to skate before school started. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for them. I owe so much to them I'll never be able to make it up."
In some ways, he repays them with the time he spends with brother Kenny, now 6, playing hockey in the driveway or at the local rink.
"I love to watch him skate. I'm hoping he'll end up being better than me," Johnson said.

The songs on here now, are pretty much a solo effort from Jeff Sullivan, but the band is much heavier and tighter like the original DWU that rocked Boston and the surrounding areas in the 90's - early 00's. Unfortunately Jeff's co-founding member Chad Sheridan, from 93- 01 (also from Candy Stryper Death Orgy) has no interest in playing music due the scene, (wants to play just big shows) as well as creative differences, like where to record. ( I wasn't going back to the same dude that recorded the unfinished Syrup of the Soul that was going to be released Rykodisc Records) After spotty appearances between hiatus and two marriages lol.. I have found my love of playing music. It is my release in a cold world where everything is much more complicated. These days performing dates or touring has been much harder for me since I have to take care of my little girl on a full time basis. Sarah has to come first and you will have to have serious cash in hand for me to take her on the road. We will have a much more scaled down approach to shows because of family unless bigger offers arise that we cannot refuse. We will resume playing out in the early spring and thru out the summer. I have gained the hunger again to perform and reach people. There is no better feeling than to have people say how much they enjoyed your music when you are performing with a bunch of cover bands on a bill. Covers are what they thought they wanted to hear, but your music spoke to them... something you created.... there is no better feeling... well maybe except for the birth of your baby... or well u know... lol... Band is idle after a short comback... changing members on the fly. I promise it will be the same or better since i am the song writter and am gaining tons of experience. The music is Heavy Progressive Rock/Metal with Jazz, Classical and Vintage overtones mixed with Adult Orientated Rock.

How can I protect my child from lead?
Take these steps to protect your child from lead poisoning:
- Make sure he eats well. If your child is well nourished, his body will be less likely to absorb lead even if he's exposed to it. (Fried and fatty foods allow the body to absorb lead faster.) It's particularly important to eat a diet that provides enough iron, calcium, protein, vitamin C, and zinc.
- Keep your child's hands clean. Wash his hands – or teach him to wash his hands – several times a day, particularly when he comes in from playing outside and before eating a meal or snack (something you'll want to him to do anyway).
- Keep your home clean. Wipe up paint chips and dust with a disposable wet cloth and damp mop your floors. If you're in the market for a new vacuum cleaner, consider one with a HEPA filter. Not only will it trap lead dust particles, it'll clear the air of some possible allergens as well.
- Make sure that your child's crib or bed, playpen, and toys don't have any peeling paint.
- If your child is a baby or toddler, prevent him from chewing on painted surfaces, such as windowsills, cribs, play yards, or furniture.
- Identify and eliminate any potential sources of lead in your home. Periodically check for recalls of toys and other children's and household items that may contain lead.
- If your child goes to daycare or school, find out when the building was built and whether it has been tested for the presence of lead. Do whatever's possible to provide him with a lead-free daycare and school environment.
- Test your tap water and take steps to eliminate lead if necessary.
- Talk with the doctor about having your child's lead level tested (see recommended schedules, above), especially if you think he may have been exposed to lead.
How can I tell if there's lead in or around my home?
Much depends on the age, location, and condition of your home. If you answer yes to any of the following four questions, consider having an expert test your home or yard for lead.
- Do you live near a freeway or a lead-heavy industry such as battery recycling or lead smelting?
- Was your house built before 1980? (Approximately 83 percent of homes and 86 percent of public housing built before 1980 contain some lead-based paint.)
- Does your plumbing include lead pipes or copper pipes that have been joined with lead solder?
- Does your home have paint that's chipping or flaking? (Even if the paint contains lead, it isn't too worrisome if it's in good condition and not rubbed, chewed, or bumped.)
If you decide to test your house, yard, or water for lead, have a professional do the job. Although do-it-yourself home lead-testing kits are available, studies have shown that these kits are not always accurate. Your state or local health department may perform lead testing, possibly for free. At the very least, they'll be able to refer you to a qualified professional.
To find state-specific information or to identify resources in your area, contact the National Lead Information Center (NLIC) at (800) 424-5323 (424-LEAD) or visit the NLIC website.
If you're going to buy or rent a home built before 1978, federal law requires that you receive a Residential Lead-Based Disclosure Program form. On this form, landlords and sellers have to disclose known information about lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards.
Beginning in April 2010, the federal government requires that contractors who perform renovation, repair, or painting that will disturb lead-based paint in homes, childcare facilities, and schools built before 1978 be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
If you're concerned about the possibility of lead in your water, call the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791. To test for lead in dishes, glasses, or pottery, call the FDA at (800) 332-4010.

Today we got a surprise visit from Velicity. Thank goodness she did. She had never been to this house before so I gave her a quick tour. But I couldnt help but staring at her ass. So, once we got to the bedroom upstairs I asked her for a tour of her body. WOW...I was blown away by the puffy nips, her great ass, and the landing strip style shave on her pussy. A personal favorite of mine I might add. After a couple of oil rubs on her ass we headed back downstairs to see what Billy was up too. And of course Billy is always up to no good. He was masturbating. But Velicity wasnt gonna let some1 masturbate if she was around to help. You already know what happens next.....oh yeah, GOOD TIMES.

Light 'em up!
We heart candles, big and small. Snag a few votives and
holders to scatter along your dresser, or pillars to decorate—and
illuminate—your desk. Pick your pile o' wax 'n' wicks carefully, though, babe.
Some candles are much more fragrant—and potentially irritating to those with
allergies—than others. For particularly strong scents, consider keeping them handy...and unlit.
For a vintage vibe, you can't beat a pretty bowl piled high
with dried herbs, flowers and spices. For autumn, we're loving warm
scents—cinnamon, vanilla, apples and oranges, cloves and nutmeg…mmm! When the
holidays roll around, try festive notes of peppermint and pine. And for
everyday, choose your year-round faves. Check out our fall potpourri DIY, or pick up a pack at a home goods store near you.
Grab the Febreze
Looking for a quick, bottled fix? Head to Walmart or Target
and take your pick of Febreze's line of air effects. A quick spritz will leave
your laundry (and the rest of your boudoir) smelling fresh and clean. For a
dose of fab fall smells, try their so-sweet seasonal lines. Heaven!
Cinnamon stick savvy
Not big on potpourri and not allowed to light up candles?
Grab a small drinking glass or mason jar and head to the grocery store for a
package of cinnamon sticks. Toss a few in and enjoy.

It seems every radio show I am on, I'm asked this question: Is the Big Ten the best league in America? Or, it is an average league with a lot of good teams?
Michigan won the Big Ten title outright last night on the strength of a shockingly easy win at Illinois. Sure, the Illini don't have an impressive record, but John Groce's team came into the matchup on a three-game winning streak, during which no opponent broke 0.9 points per trip. This was a hot team whose defense was absolutely stifling conference opponents. Talk had even begun of this Illinois team somehow sneaking back onto the bubble in the season's final week.

After returning to his blockbuster spy franchise for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Cruise made a pretty convincing case that he's still a major force in the action world. Now, he's coming back for yet another round as super-spy Ethan Hunt, after many wrote off a Cruise comeback as impossible. Then again, it was also supposed to be impossible that a 50-year-old man could still be in such insane shape (emphasis on insane). But crazy or not, Cruise is downright fearless, still does his own stunts, still runs like the wind and isn't showing any signs of slowing down. No wonder, considering he's still in vintage form.
