With Cancer, Expertise Matters
Cancer patients need to have confidence in their treatment plans by exploring all possible options. Often that means they should get a second opinion.

Mushroom powder linked to lower PSA levels in prostate cancer patients
White button mushrooms seem fairly innocuous as fungi go. Unlike portabellas, they don't center stage at the dinner table, and unlike truffles, they're not the subject of gourmand fervor.

When Allison B. visited the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan for the first time earlier this month, she left with not one, but two kittens. Allison had considered adopting a cat for several months, and lucky for these kitties, she decided to bring home a pair. She named them Sierra and Tobias.
"My boyfriend and I have wanted a cat since we moved into our apartment back in October," Allison says. "I was visiting family for the Fourth of July and on the drive home I just decided it was time. My aunt is a cat lover, and she was the one who suggested getting two."
While Allison had been to other animal shelters before, this was her first visit to the ASPCA.
"The adoption process was very easy," she says. "The staff was knowledgeable and friendly."
Allison tells us it has been smooth sailing with Sierra and Tobias.
"Sierra and Tobias adjusted very quickly to home," Allison says. "I think since they had each other it made it a lot easier for them to feel comfortable."
We're thrilled these two feline friends found a loving home where they can enjoy each other's company!
How wonderful, for you and the kitties - they remind me of two tiny grey and white kittens that were put in our driveway in a box that was ducktaped shut. Named them Tammy and Toby. Toby died from Saddle Thrombosis when he was 7-1/2 years-nearly broke my heart, and sadly, Tammy died of the same thing when she was 13. May your little sweethearts have a long and healthy life. Cats are the most wonderful companions.
God Bless You Both...and enjoy your new family !!
Our two youngest cats are brothers, Cato and Clouseau. They love each other and amuse us endlessly.
We had one cat for 17 years that was a stray a friend found in the country. The 3 of us had a very happy life for those 17 years. After she died, we adopted 2 kittens...sisters. They are 2 years old now and I can say that it is better to have 2. Twice as much joy and love, but also they provide company to each other when we are not home and play together. I am very glad you chose to give a loving home to 2 kitties and know you will all be happy together. CONGRATS!
So adorably cute I'm thinking of getting a kitten but I feel bad about it being lonely so I might get a pair.
Yes, two kitties are better than one for sure! ; - )
Cats are awesome, I'm getting a new cat next week, I can't wait.

"This is a very unique facility that we want to build," Bob Hardin, soccer association treasurer, told commissioners. "There will be nothing else like it east of
The association proposes to pay for all expenses to develop the facility that will be built where tennis courts currently exist at the Havelock Recreation Complex on
Recreation officials say the tennis courts get very little if any use.
The estimated cost of the stadium is between $20,000 and $25,000, with the artificial turf costing the lion's share at about $12,000. The stadium would be 135 feet long and 80 feet wide and constructed out of high-quality concrete and cinder block, Hardin said. It would have bleachers, a concession stand and a high-tech scoreboard. It will not have a roof.
The arrangement calls for the
Hardin said the association plans to fund the construction through sponsorships and donations. Construction won't begin until all funding can be secured.
While commissioners supported the idea of the facility, they balked at the league's proposal to pay 10 percent of net profits from tournaments to the city as opposed to a flat $100 per team fee charged to other leagues that use the complex.
"We just want it to be the same across the board for all teams," Commissioner Will Lewis said.
The soccer league pointed out that indoor soccer has fewer players per team, and thus would have more teams.
"I'm 100 percent in support of what you want to do, but I am also 100 percent in support of treating you like we treat everybody
else," Mayor Jimmy Sanders said.
The board decided to allow acting city manager G. Wayne Cyrus to consult with the city's attorney to craft a contract between the
city and soccer league that would be satisfactory to both parties.
Commissioner George Liner said that the new facility would probably grow the organization, which is already a lynchpin of youth athletics in the
The facility would allow the league to host "indoor" soccer leagues and tournaments. Indoor soccer is considered a much faster-paced game than outdoor soccer, with the speed of the game compared to that of hockey or indoor lacrosse, with end-to-end action.
"Honestly, I'd rather watch indoor soccer than outdoor soccer. It's a lot more exciting," said Sanders. "If you want to become a soccer fan, go look at indoor soccer. You will become a fan."

ok, so I'm curious, after what I've said, what reasons/evidence you have for thinking that there are objective moral standards?
When I say that it is wrong to torture infants for fun, I believe that I am doing more than simply stating a personal preference.
It is a fact that torturing infants causes pain. And it is a fact that when a child is tortured for fun this pain is undeserved.
I believe that a normal adult human, with fully functional cognitive and perceptive capacities, can observe that such a situation would be unjust. That is, we can just observe that torturing infants is wrong.
I have heard people claim that they cannot observe that torturing children is wrong, but I believe I have good reason to believe that such people are either joking, confused, or just trying to win an argument.
Please note: Observing that torturing infants is wrong is not identical to be disgusted by it; it is not identical to being affected emotionally by seeing it. Rather, it is directly intuiting (via a combination of perceptual and cognitive capacities) that such a situation is morally unacceptable, that someone who engages in that kind of behavior is doing something morally revolting. Again, this observation is direct; it requires only fully functional perceptual abilities, a modicum of reason, and an interest in unbiased observation.

DOE to Save $13 Million in Annual Energy Costs at Four National Labs
August 4, 2008
DOE announced on August 4 that it has signed contracts for $140 million in energy efficiency improvements at four of its national laboratories: Idaho National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the National Energy Technology Laboratory, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The energy efficiency improvements will help DOE to save about $13 million on energy and energy-related costs per year. The contracts are the first ones signed under DOE's Transformational Energy Action Management (TEAM) initiative, which aims to have 7.5% of the energy used at all DOE facilities supplied by renewable sources by 2010. The TEAM initiative also seeks to reduce energy intensity by 30% and reduce water consumption intensity by 16% in all DOE facilities by 2015.
At Idaho National Laboratory (INL), oil-fired boilers and old steam lines will be removed and replaced with electric technologies, eliminating 600,000 gallons per year of fuel oil purchases to yield an annual savings of $1.7 million. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory will receive an upgraded energy management control system, which will result in $1.3 million in savings per year. The National Energy Technology Laboratory will receive a variety of green upgrades, including biogas boilers, green roofs, hybrid lighting, advanced metering, solar lighting, rooftop wind turbines, and natural gas well dewatering, which will reduce energy consumption by more than 27 billion Btu per year and reduce water use by more than three million gallons, resulting in approximately $800,000 in savings per year. And on top of implementing other general energy conservation measures, a biomass steam plant will be built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, allowing for nearly $8.7 million in savings per year. See the INL press release.
The energy efficiency improvements will be installed under Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs), under which energy service companies or utilities provide the funding required to purchase equipment and system enhancements for an organization, and are paid back from the energy savings that result from increased energy efficiency. Over one billion pounds of carbon dioxide can be avoided by the potential ESPC projects currently in development at DOE. This is equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions from more than 83,000 vehicles. See the DOE press release and the TEAM Initiative Web site.

|Recycling Methods Explained
This article aims to explore how the recycled and biodegradable products within our range are made and outlines some of the environmentally friendly materials used.
Wood Products - FSC Certified Wood
In order to safeguard future generations it is important that the current generation is responsible and ethical in its approach to using the resources of the world's forests. In an attempt to ensure this is the case the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) has been set up to regulate forest management and rectify some of the harmful practices previously employed.
The FSC is an important part of the fight to protect our forests today. It is a global, independent non-profit making body which sets the standard for companies who choose to take an ethical approach to manufacture and selling of goods made from forestry resources.
Should a company elect to conduct it's business in accordance with the guidelines as set out by the FSC, it will be become FSC accredited. Such companies stimulate demand for FSC certified timber and non-timber products. Every company that becomes accredited helps to develop the FSC's Chain of Custody (CoC), which guarantees those throughout the supply chain that the goods bought and sold come from sustainable sources and in compliance with best forestry practice.
FSC accredited products can be traced back to the original forest that the wood once came from. FSC forests are managed in accordance with strict criteria, which ensures that they meet the fundamental principles of the FSC. From a practical standpoint this scheme works on the basis that the FSC inspects forests on a regular basis so that on site audits can be preformed.
Companies who are FSC accredited help to ensure that social and environmental standards are being up-held. The FSC is globally recognised as the single main body responsible for setting the high standard of social and environmental requirements that accredited members in the forestry sector must follow. The scheme works by offering the forest managers a reward incentive to follow to the criteria as set by the FSC.
The CoC (Chain of Custody) closely follows the life span of FSC accredited products from the forest to the final customer. The FSC accreditation mark is therefore an important sign for any socially aware customer who wishes to be re-assured that the product he or she has purchased originates from a sustainable source. Companies are also keen to deal the FSC accredited products to demonstrate to their customers they are socially minded as well.
The rapid growth of FSC accredited goods in the market place is a testament to those who buy such goods as it shows that many feel a need to help ensure the future of the world's forests.
Products in our range made from FSC certified wood include:
MATER-BI ® (Biodegradable Maize)
MATER-BI ® is a biodegradable material made from corn starch. It is naturally comprised so leaves no metal or toxic residue. Once the item is disposed of, micro organisms transform MATER-BI ® into carbon dioxide, water and humus at a similar rate to that of paper.
We have an extensive range of promotional products made from Mater-Bi, some of which include:
Find out more about MATER-BI ®
Recycled Tetra Pak Containers
The Tetra Pak Recycled range is made by separating the aluminium foil layer sandwiched between the polyethylene and paper contained in containers, which can then be re-used for paper manufacture.
The aluminium and plastic, which is recovered, is featured in the Tetra Pak Recycled range of products. Some of the promotional pens in our range include:
Recycled Paper
Recycled paper is made from recycled fibre. The most easily obtained source is waste paper from old newspapers and can then be used as packaging for consumer and industrial use.
Surprisingly 200 years ago, almost all paper was generated from recycled products such as cotton and linen. The use of trees as the basic raw material is a relatively modern approach, which dates back to the late 19th century.
Products made from recycled paper in our range include:
Recycled Plastic
Previously landfill sites were the only way of disposing of unwanted plastic products. The recycling of plastic products has provided a far more environmentally alternative in recent times.
We have an extensive range of promotional products made from recycled plastic. Some of these include:
Recycled Vending Cups
We in the UK, alone, produce around 2.8 million tonnes of plastic waste each year and this figure in increasing by, on average, 2% per year. One way of reducing our waste in this regard is through the use of recycled vending cups.
Included in our range of promotional products made from recycled vending cups is the Recycled Pencil Sharpener
Recycled Algae
Due to growing pollution, lakes and ponds are suffering as a result of excess algae growth, in order to return the lakes and ponds back to their former state, algae is harvested and recycled to make environmentally friendly paper which can be used in the manufacture of a range of products.
Included in our range is the Algae Stickpen and Algae Retractable Ballpen

For those with ideas, solutions, resources, and networks for change, or for organizational team members, the workshop offers an empowering framework to leverage their work with others in a common purpose.
"Among us, we have the reason, vision, power, and technology to create an amazing New World of peace, abundance, joy, and freedom for all. All we have to do now is HARNESS and direct it all coherently in common purpose as a unified, collective force," said Nancy Polend, workshop leader and founder of Creating the New World, Inc. Polend believes we can facilitate that unified focus when we're empowered with an effective architecture for dynamic, community based, whole-systems world building.
Nancy has more than 25 years of experience empowering positive change in systems of all shapes, sizes, and sectors; she has guided individuals, organizations and communities to realize they have the power to create the future they most deeply want. Working within local, state, and Federal government; national and international nonprofits; private and corporate environments, Nancy has developed and managed educational leadership and organizational effectiveness programs. Now, she has committed her life to the "Mother-of-All" systems change projects — Creating the New World. She is offering a concrete template for the most profound task humanity has ever faced — creating a world that will ensure the survival and evolution of the human species.
The workshop is hosted by Shinneyboo Creek Cabin Resort, nestled on 160 acres of Sierra splendor and surrounded by the Tahoe National Forest. With easy access off Interstate 80, Shinneyboo is a perfect setting for inspired world-building. There are three lodging packages: Camping among the evergreens, tent cabins by the South Yuba River, and rustic luxury cabins for those who are "too grown up" to go camping.

Post subject: A Quick Critique of the Person Above's Comic
So you want a quick critique of your comic? You
have one ...but you must earn it by first writing one for the comic of the previous critiquer.
Unlike the
in-depth critique thread
, the critiques in this thread are aimed at getting someone else's opinion on your last few (5-10) pages or strips. Trying out a new character design? Introducing a new character? Just want someone else's general first impression of your comic? The quick critique thread will give you a second opinion from a fellow webcomicker.
To participate, here are the rules:
1. To get a critique, you must give a critique of the person above you's comic
2. Anyone with a webcomic can participate
3. The critique must be at least 250 words
4. You must be able to give *helpful and supportive* constructive comments
5. You must be able to take criticism on the chin without getting bent out of shape

My first impression is that your pages are really, and I mean
claustrophobic. The enormous gutters and word balloons that don't stay inside the panel borders really accentuate this. I feel like every panel is choked, and while I truly do appreciate your efforts to put backgrounds in every panel, doing this isn't helping you here because they're cluttering up your already tiny-looking panels.
Your pages are apparently only 500x~700px. Your comic is on the heavier side of the dialogue spectrum for how much space you have to work with, and I think that size is ideally suited to 4 or fewer panels. You appear to regularly divvy that up in to 5, 6, 7 panels... and those are the ones where I almost feel like I have to squint to see what's going on. I feel like you're designing your comic and page display with 800x600 monitors in mind still. I can safely say that those are, as far as anyone is concerned, obsolete. According to W3 Schools, 90% of internet users are viewing web content with screen resolutions higher than 1024x768. On my screen, your comic page takes up only 2/3rds of my browser window height. In other words-- you have nothing to lose by going bigger.
The other thing that struck me when I was flipping through your pages is the fact that everyone's face is drawn from 3/4 perspective and looking straight at the viewer, no matter the scene. This is... really creepy. They feel like cardboard cutouts, or like they're actors in a bad sitcom and are always having to face the camera. If it's just because you have trouble drawing faces from other perspectives, then take this opportunity to start practicing. Another personal quibble, but is, to my chagrin, a stylistic choice sometimes, is the fact that your characters suffer from sameface-- I can only tell them apart by their hair and clothes.
All in all, a solid style though, and you do make monochromatic toning look good. I can easily tell characters from their backgrounds, and from each other, even with the high density of details.

Before the next person jumps in to critique your comic, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to give such useful feedback. It's so interesting to get another webcomicker's thoughts. You've given me a lot to work with, especially your comments about the 3/4 view and the 'sameface' issue.

* Your navigation is not very touch-screen friendly. Please make your buttons larger and easier to see, and if possible, make it so a person can visit the next page by clicking on the comic page(s).
* This is my personal preference, but you may want to keep this in mind because of the increasing number of mobile visitors. With metered smartphone internet access and/or low-quality rural/urban municipal broadband, having multiple large pages can be a huge pain in the butt, that could potentially end up being very expensive and time-consuming for your visitors. Plus, it's kind of overwhelming to keep track of several pages one a single section is multitasking and just peeking at comics between tasks. This may not seem like a big deal, until you consider that people may be reading your webcomic at work.
* Could you have a separate section for non-commentary blog posts?
* If it's under construction with no content, or if the page has missing content, it should not be linked to your site until it is ready.
* Make your CBRs a paid premium, so you can take my damn money! Lazy people like me with craptacular broadband love downloadable eComics and will gladly pay for them.
* Solid comic with interesting story.
* Fascinating art
* Distinctive character designd that makes it easy to differentiate them for your readers.
* Readable lettering.
* Nice clean site design.
* Easy to navigate
My webcomic is NSFW and it needs feedback:

- No, it's seriously not. I've been meaning to talk to the plugin dev about this before giving it a go myself. As for clicking the comic page, I actually do have that (and that's a big reason why it's a pain to view on my phone; scrolling down has me clicking on the page and takes me to the next set). Not sure why it's not working for you... works to a fault for me.
- I could find out, but I don't see the point if they're already all at the bottom of the page and easily skippable?
- I actually have to disagree here! :B
- I have no CBRs available currently...? Unless you mean the short stories; but those were never meant to be pay-fer material anyway.
Thanks for the review! Gotta get to work getting the site in shape~

(Just wanted to say that you may want to use that statistic with some caution--a resolution higher than 1024x768 doesn't necessarily mean much more vertical resolution; for instance I use a 1080p screen, with minimal browser UI at the top, and his pages with nav buttons fit just about perfectly within that screen height.)

- That's weird. Clicking on the comic does not take me anywhere. If it helps, I am using Chrome.
- I used to have the same attitude about non-commentary blog entries under my comics until I learned that it does interrupt reading flow for a lot of people who feel obligated to read them. Also, a lot of people get very uncomfortable or annoyed when it comes to reading stuff unrelated to the comic page that they are on. I sadly learned that this tended to be the majority of readers for me. Just for your own edification, ask your readers about this. Maybe they are different, but it's worth checking.
- You may disagree with me on linking to non-existent content, but the reason I bring it up is because Google has a tendency to smack sites with link rot, plus it can be extremely disappointing for readers looking for specific content.
- I was talking about the theoretical CBRs that you mention here:

Lo (Aquapunk) - I attempted to read your comic, but every time I tried to on my iPad, it would start loading another page on your site.
Also, your design isn't very tablet friendly -- even when it wasn't reloading, I had to keep swiping/scrolling the page left and right even on maximum zoom out.

Okay, so since this isn't a thread for Public Reviews of a comic, can we make a rule that critiqued authors may not respond to critiques except to ask for clarification? That's generally a workshop standard.

That sounds reasonable. We don't want too much back and forth discussion going on otherwise the thread is just going to get messy and confusing.

vaslittlecrow - since I'm new to webcomics my review might not be the most helpful, but I'll give it a shot anyway.
* Your site seems really cluttered. There's a lot going on around the sides that, as a new visitor, I don't really care about. While they may be more useful for visitors more familiar with your site, all the text and images crammed onto the page are really uninviting to me. If there's some of that you could rearrange or ship off to a separate page, I think that would really help.
* The lineart bothers me a bit. There are times when it's both really thick and uneven, and I think it could be cleaned up a bit better. I'm mostly reffering to panels that are zoomed out, because it also makes it more difficult to see what's going on. For the most part it doesn't look that bad; it's mostly just those zoomed shots.
* I'm not a fan of mixing photos with illustration. I really like the backgrounds that are drawn in (like on the page where he comes out of the shower and finds the kids in a food fight) much more than the ones with photos. Drawing them in keeps the style consistent, and in my case, if I notice something is a photo I get very distracted.
* The panels and dialogue are wonderful. I never had a problem following the frames to what I was supposed to read next even though some of the panels take unique shapes (which is a problem I see a lot in other comics). Every panel is interesting and earns its place: it's not just a shot of a guy's face talking, there's lots of change in expression, position, and angle.
* Lots of variety in the character design. I really love how some of the characters look.
* The story's interesting and I think the pace is good.
* I really like the font choice.
All-in-all, I thought it was interesting and I'll have to check it out again when it's not 4AM here, haha.
Here's my comic:
Gambit Tactics
. I guess it's NSFW, but mostly for language at this point.
I'm really interested in hearing from someone who uses a smart phone or a tablet. I don't own any so I have no idea how my site comes up on those. But I'm happy to hear from anyone who wants to look at it.

I read the first chapter on a tablet, as requested. It looked and worked great, so I don't think you will have any issues there.
When I began reading this I was trying to think of ways to tell you gently that I didn't like the artwork very much. But! As I continued to read my opinion changed. I can't say it's my favorite kind of artwork, but I feel like it does have it own unique style, and the characters are very expressive (and that's something I'm a little jealous over). Some of the glaring things I don't like is that I find the colors very bright and basic. Maybe try some more subtle shades? And the backgrounds, while some are detailed, others are really plain. Please don't take these artwork criticisms the wrong way though. It isn't my favorite style, but I'm warming up to it.
The writing is the comics greatest attribute. While at first I wasn't too interested, and it was a bit of a slow burn, after reading 5-6 pages I was pretty engrossed. I really liked the Dad character (spoiler: sad to see him go), and I thought the beginning dialogue with the mother and taxi driver was interesting, as she seems like a bad guy, but that conversation is kind of humanizing.
So lets break it down:
-While basic, the art style is very expressive and has it's own charm
-Good writing
-Works well on a Tablet, navigates great
-Interesting characters
-I like the first chapter cover.
-Font style and text balloons make it easy to read
I'm not great at reviews, so pls don't hate me
I will be reading on, I'm interested to see where it goes.
As for my comic, it can be found at

Sure, why not.
re: Narwhal Knight:
I like your line-art style. Some of your body constructions don't feel quite natural but I think that stylistically it works out pretty well. It has a sort of "underground comix" feel to it which is a bit quaint but somewhat nicely done. Sometimes your shading is a bit inconsistent and odd-looking, though. Try not outlining the cross-hatched sections, and try avoiding a fully solid fill where it's darker (instead, try overlaying additional cross-hatching at a different angle).
Also, since you're using line-art cross-hatching shading, avoid gray fills like the plague! They stand out like a sore thumb.
That dialog doesn't look very appropriate for the line style, however. Is that Anime Ace? I think something like Blambot's Digital Strip would work well. Your dialog layout is pretty good in places, but sometimes it seems like you're not paying much attention to the placement of the words with respect to the bubble shapes (for example, in the bottom panel on page 10). Also, learn where to use apostrophes (page 7 - "wont" should be "won't"), and use an em-dash instead of two hyphens; it looks better. On a Mac, you can type an em-dash by pressing alt-dash. I have no idea how you do it on Windows.
The limited use of color in your dialog is an interesting choice. It definitely makes that speaker stand out.
Site layout wise, try centering the comic in its container, rather than having it flush left. Right now it all feels off-balance.
And now people can rake my comic over the coals, at
(please skip the recent sketchbook filler pages, as I only posted those because real life was in the way of updating and my hacked-together CMS requires an image post to make a news post work right).

Re: Busybee comics
Your site is easy to navigate. That should be something I can say about any comic - but it's not. So good on you.
Your characters are visually distinct, which is good. I've got no problem telling them apart.
While your style isn't normally one I'm into, your characters are quite expressive, and communicate the emotion of the scene well.
I am not a big fan of the speech balloons you use - the translucent backgrounds with drop shadows just kind of irks me. Your panels can be a little crowded too with them -- to much information in that little space makes it easy to skip over.
Your use of bright, colorful backgrounds makes it so your characters never "pop" - which makes it harder to distinguish foreground from background.
Honestly, what I'd do is enlargen your canvas -- don't lock into the strip format if you don't have to. If you want that much text in a comic, make the strip/page bigger. Muting the colors in the backgrounds and thickening the lines around the characters would make a significant difference to the art too -- making the comic significantly more visually attractive and easier to read.
The comic of mine I'll toss onto the fire is The Chronicles of Crosarth

Wings is a fragrance I wore many years ago. I thought of it when I was ordering another scent, and I couldn't resist the fantastic price. I'm so happy with the beautiful fragrance I remember and will order again. Thank you for carrying all of the old favorites at great prices.

I have been using Wings for many many years and received many compliments walking in a store or even up a fast food Drive Up people said I smelled good and one men followed me in a casino before and one men in a store and asked me what I'm wearing I really don't want to tell any one because I like it to be my Fragrance!

I've subscribed to Country Living for years...stopped once when I was fed up with the same stuff month after month...and am at that point agian. Just got a "continuous service program" billing where they've sent a bill for $19.97 for another year's worth of "slipcovering flea market finds" and painting everything with "dirty white". ENOUGH...there's more to country than that...but they're in a rut. AND...I came to the Inernet site to see a subscription price of only $12???? Either price, I want something NEW, not the same tiree old thing.

I've had a subscription to Country Living since 1984 and look forward to every issue. I don't like the new, larger format as well since the paper quality makes it floppy and hard to read unless you're sitting with it on a table.
I like this magazine for all the antiques it shows as well as the real estate sampler and other various articles.
WAY too many ads, some city person's notion of what country should look like. I live in the country in a country home and believe me, this magazine represents NOTHING of my life or the way we live. Absolutely pathetic. Cancelled my subscription and will never pick it up again.
I enjoy receiving this magazine. I like the simple suggestions for changing decor. The photos of furniture arrangements are appealing to me. Good articles for change of seasons.
colonial homes, country living, victoria all were great magazines. i too could not wait until they arrived. it was like a mini vacation.i have these magazines going back to the 70's. when my friends and i were building and decorating many people borrowed them. now my daughter and her friends are all asking to look at the old magazines.i must admit i have had to insist that they look at them in my house and i have a colored copier to make copies of pages.i lost too many of my treasured issues. can't say i blame them.colonial homes started putting many small pictures in their magazine and it just wasn't the same. it took away the feel that you were there.country living has cheapened their paper and it is very irritating to look at this book when the pages stick together from static cling. i an so sorry i will not be renewing this book.there are many more things on the internet now.
I love receiving this magazine each month in the mail. The pictures are lovely, and I enjoy that it branches out a bit beyond just decorating--into recipes, fashion, antiques, etc. A fun, creative read.
When I started reading Country Living a few years ago I loved the ideas, tips and pictures. The last year or so it seems to be targeting a shabby chic or kitschy audience who has money to spare. For example, their finds are often over priced tacky items like a $60 stapler shaped like an animal. It is not worth my time to look at the magazine anymore and I canceled my subscription.
I have been subscribing to Country Living for at least 20 years. I have always enjoyed reading it and love all the designs that are chosen for each issue. I also enjoy most editorials as well. My only beef about this magazine is ....back in the early 2000's the publisher change the texture of the pages. I know this sounds 'picky', but I like turning a page of magazine that has substance. Before this change 'Country Living' Magazine came across as a higher end publication, but obtainable at a reasonable subscription rate. Now it's pages are like 'Better Homes and Gardens' 'Family Circle', Women's Day, etc. It's a thinnner, cheaper feel of paper. I wish the publisher would return to the original format and page quality.
I love this magazine it has country decorating ideas on just about everything to fit many kinds of spaces(large and small) and the recipes are easy and family friendly.

One of my favorite columns is the idea notebook.

I love to read about ideas for fresh new looks. Country Living makes decorating easy and affordable. I love the magazine because it's filled with great advice on how to make your home a little more country.
Another one of my favorite features is the letters column. Country Living always has a page or two of letters sent in from readers who share how the magazine helped with everything from preparing a homemade meal for the holidays to making their own scrapbooks. However, the column I love the most is the one about collecting. I consider myself an amateur antiques collector, and Country Living's 'Shop Guide' is perfect for helping me find the hottest deals on the trendiest items. It always has insightful articles about tips for collecting and where to bargain for the best antiques.

Baseball's Lequire Named Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Week
February 25, 2014
High Point, NC – Pfeiffer University's Tyler Lequire has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Baseball Pitcher of the Week during week three of the 2013 - 2014 baseball season.
Tyler Lequire was dominant in Pfeiffers' 1-0 win in 14 innings over No. 12 Franklin Pierce on Saturday evening. Lequire tossed nine shutout innings on the mound and allowed only two hits while striking out nine batters. Lequire received a tough-luck no decision for the game but finished the week with 13 strikeouts in 11 innings and a 0.82 ERA.
Lequire and the Falcons are back in action on Friday as the open Conference Carolinas play with a three game road swing at Belmont Abbey.

Water, land, the air we breathe and several other entities can become polluted. Air pollutants may be natural or man-made and may take the form of solid particles, liquid droplets or gases. Water pollution can come from sewage treatment plants, factories, ships, agricultural runoff, mining activities and paved roads, and there are numerous other sources of different types of pollution.
We can always take action against pollution: in cleaning up what's existing and, more importantly, preventing more. We can do that by changing how we manufacture as well as how we behave: reduce how much you use, reuse what's left when you're done, and recycle what you can't reuse. Policy has been enacted in the U.S. to prevent and reduce pollution at its sources. (Source: EPA / Photo: Flickr)

Pop Culture
The Interfaith Couples of ConnectedBy Gerri Miller
An interview with the two interfaith couples on the new show Connected where stars film their own relationshipsGo To Pop Culture
Progressive Conservatives
Arnold Eisen's inauguration as the chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary last fall has generated a fair amount of excitement in the Jewish world. As the first non-rabbi to serve in the role in more than 65 years and one of the leading sociologists of American Jewry, he is widely seen as bringing a fresh perspective to his leadership of the Conservative movement's flagship institution.
So far, his statements about intermarriage have been encouraging, but I'm really enthused about what he said in this recent Q&A with the St. Petersburg Times. His response to a question about intermarriage is so positive that I want to share its entire text:
I was particularly struck by his statement "The word should go out that whether the non-Jewish partner or family members convert or not, they are welcome in our midst forever." That sends the message that non-Jewish family members are not flawed in some way, but are valuable contributors to the Jewish community. As he says, "They have wisdom and skills and love that can benefit our communities." That kind of welcome–without conditions, with love and approval–is exactly the kind of response the Jewish community needs to exhibit towards the intermarried.
I look forward to seeing how his leadership will help push the Conservative movement further on the road to integrating intermarried families fully into the life of Conservative synagogues.

Prim Qualifies for 200 Free Finals; Finishes 8th in Day Two of Nationals
March 11, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University freshman swimmer Julianna Prim (Yadkinville, NC) qualified for the finals in the 200 freestyle on day two of the 2010 NCAA II National Championships in Canton, Ohio. Prim set a new school record in the prelim race on her way to her first-ever NCAA finals, finishing eighth in the country being the top swimmer in the southeast region and state in the 200 free.
Finishing seventh out of 46 participants in the prelims, Prim broke her own school record set back in November with a time of 1:52.56. In the evening session finals, Prim jumped in lane one racing against a two-time all-American, the defending champion and runner-up in the 200 free, along with the national record holder in the event. Prim held her own finishing eighth in the country with a time of 1:53.21 in the outside lane.
Prim still has two races left at the national meet with one on Friday and one on Saturday. Prim will swim in arguably her best event, the 200 butterfly, in prelims Friday trying to qualify for the night's finals before finishing with the 100 free on Saturday.

Hard Window Treatments
On a functional level, shutters, shades and blinds provide privacy, sun and wind control.
- Louvered interior shutters such as the popular Plantation shutters, provide excellent ventilation and sun control while adding an attractive architectural element to the space. The simple Venetian blind provides the same type of control, in a more utilitarian package.
- Grass or bamboo shades provide similar function to the standard roller shade, but are significantly more attractive and can stand alone. They add a masculine textural element to the design as well. The humble roller shade provides practical protection from the sun and works well under other treatments such as valances that cover up the top of the window so the shade is hidden when rolled up to the top.

Nasrallah: Attack on Iran will lead to attacks on American bases
The Secretary General of Lebanon's Hizbullah, Hassan Nasrallah denied late Monday that his group holds chemical weapons, citing reasons related to sharia. "We do not have chemical weapons and we can't use them for reasons related to the sharia (Islamic law) and for humanitarian reasons," said Nasrallah in an interview with al-Mayadeen TV Channel.
At the end of July, Israeli leaders have warned against the transfer of Syrian chemical weapons to Hizbullah, an ally of Damascus. The Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman warned that Israel would act "immediately" as well as "hard as possible" in such a situation.
The Syrian regime, which faces nearly 18 months of revolt, admitted in July for the first time the possession of chemical weapons and threatened to use them in case of foreign military intervention, but never against its population.
Nasrallah reiterated that in case of "enemy aggression" against Lebanon, Hizbullah will not only "defend itself" but "also raid the northern part of Israel, the Galilee." In February 2011, the armed wing of the Shiite group already threatened to invade the northern region of Israel in case of an Israeli attack.
Asked about a possible Israeli war against Iran, the sponsor of Hizbullah, Nasrallah said he had information from Iranian leaders that Tehran's response will be huge "if attacked by Israel. "Iran will not reconcile if strike against its nuclear facilities is carried out," he said, noting that the Islamic Republic would retaliate also against "U.S. bases in the region."
Top Headlines
Well, let me admit how warm and fuzzy I feel since reading Hassan Nasrallah, The Secretary General of Lebanon's Hizbullah has admitted that he can't use chemical weapons for reasons related to the sharia (Islamic law) and for humanitarian reasons. I suppose we can all just close our books of concern immediately and look forward this afternoon's camel spider races – right?
But honestly, have sharia (Islamic law) and humanitarian reasons ever got in the way of characters like Saddam Hussein and his army from being responsible for 200,000 civilian deaths during his Genocidal campaign against the Kurds, Shabaks, Yazidis, Assyrians, Turkomans and Mandeans? Hell No!
Should we really be worried? Hell Yes!!
What will be done about the threat? Not a damn thing!!!
Global awareness, global concern and global action are a very mystifying and evaporative process which is based on economics, religion and politics. I forget; who was the active representative body for the Kurds, Shabaks, Yazidis, Assyrians, Turkomans and Mandeans before their chemical deaths?
when israel attack irann what had to do with america......greatn idea mr bearded man attack us bases good idea,,,,,,remember pearl harbour???oh thats a great idea iranians to attack us bases,,,great idea,,go ahead bomb all america bases you are smart iranians go ahead.........
At some point in the future the planet will be restored to it's pristine glory, when it finally rids itself of the pestilence that is ' the idiotic and fanatical human race ' that has continually sought its destruction and will only succeed in its own demise. Bloody minded morons.
No comment could ever reconcile the insanity of the region. If there ever was a bad idea, to attack American bases, this is surely the mother of bad ideas. Think long and hard before you attack our bases and then stop and think again. For those who look for a sign, this could be it.
