Heck, I like Phil Mushnick and Peter Vecsey never missing an article, but most everybody hates these guys.alright guys, well i dont have beef with DA, i have always enjoyed reading his stuff online and listening to what he had to say. but i still believe him about the BD thing, and i dont think baron is going to accept the contract offer.
Just hope you understand my hate is directed toward David and not you. I'll hate you for completely different reasons! (Just Kidding, welcome to the board).

At my last job, as a Project Manager, I argued (unsuccessfully) for the Developers to be able to use MP3 players while they were working. Unfortunately, the culture in that company was such that many of the so-called business people could not cope with the concept that some people would be able to use their music players, whilst others (e.g. Call Centre staff) could not.
The company I worked at before that (as a Software Development Manager) were open to Developers using their iPods, and I found them more productive because of it - albeit they weren't allowed to plug in their iPods to their PCs for security and copyright reasons.
So to help me in my next job, if I come across this situation again, how would you successfully put the rationale behind allowing MP3 players?

The Assumption College English department believes that literature, which includes a multitude of rhetorical forms – visual and electronic texts as well as written ones – addresses profound and enduring questions about what it means to be a human being, while challenging us to recognize complexity and ambiguity in our exploration of those questions. The study of literature is an enlightening quest of self-discovery that exposes us to a wide range of aesthetic sensibilities and reveals our strengths, vulnerabilities, and potential for change. Experiencing literature leads us to ask deeper questions about our spiritual, intellectual, personal, and cultural assumptions, so that we can come to know ourselves and our larger world more fully.
The department seeks to inspire students to take intellectual risks, to synthesize the questions and approaches to the discipline they have learned, and to take responsibility for their continued learning. The English major prepares students in both their personal and their professional lives to become active and engaged learners.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Pounding out 21 hits and scoring a season-high 16 runs, Pfeiffer University cruised past North Greenville 16-9 in Conference Carolinas baseball action on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons improve to 12-19 overall, 7-6 in league play while dropping the Crusaders to 11-18, 4-8.
Pfeiffer would score in seven of the nine innings on Saturday starting with a two-run homer by Kyle Hackney in the top of the second. Johnny Brown, Jr. walked in front of Hackney's first pitch round-tripper. In the third, Cole McGraw added a run-scoring single while a Kevin Price double and Jacob Yates base hit made it 5-1 in the fourth.
Continuing to jump all over North Greenville pitching, Jon Gray would get in on the action with a RBI double in the sixth while the Falcons would add two more using an error at third in the inning. Brown, Jr. would add another RBI in the eighth while McGraw and Gray did the same. Pfeiffer's biggest inning came in the 9th as another North Greenville mistake cost the Crusaders four more runs as Aarin Sharpe two-run single while Hackney and Lindley picked up the final runs driven in.
Yates and McGraw would each pick up four hits in the 21-hit attack while Gray added three. Eight Falcons would pick up multi-hit days in the 16-9 victory. Josh Branch picked up the win tossing seven frames, allowing four runs on eight hits while fanning six.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Tuesday and Wednesday traveling to Carson-Newman and Tusculum for the annual trip to Tennessee.

Asthma Nebulizers (Breathing Machine)
An asthma nebulizer, also known as a breathing machine, changes asthma medication from a liquid to a mist, so that it can be more easily inhaled into the lungs. Home nebulizer therapy is particularly effective in delivering asthma medications to infants and small children and to anyone who is unable to use asthma inhalers with spacers.
To obtain an asthma nebulizer, you need a prescription from your physician. Home nebulizers vary in cost (approximately $200-250) and are usually covered under the durable medical equipment portion of health insurance policies. However, most insurance companies will require you to work with a specified durable medical equipment supplier. Check with your insurance company before purchasing or renting to ensure it will be covered. Your health care provider should be able to assist you with these arrangements.
How do I use a home nebulizer?
Reader Stories
First, you will need the following supplies:
Once you have the necessary supplies:
During the treatment, if the medication sticks to the sides of the nebulizer cup, you may shake the cup to loosen the droplets.

GENERIC NAME: budesonide
BRAND NAME: Rhinocort (Discontinued brand), Rhinocort Aqua
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Budesonide is a synthetic steroid belonging to the glucocorticoid family, a family in which cortisol (hydrocortisone) is the naturally occurring steroid. Hydrocortisone is produced in the adrenal glands. Glucocorticoid steroids have potent anti-inflammatory actions. When used as a nasal inhaler or spray, budesonide travels directly to the lining of the nose, and only 20% of the administered dose is absorbed into the body. Intranasal budesonide was approved by the FDA in 1994.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PREPARATIONS: Nasal Spray: 32 mcg/spray
STORAGE: Budesonide should be kept at room temperature, 15-30 C (59-86 F). It should be shaken well before each use.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Budesonide is used for the management of symptoms of allergic rhinitis, a condition in which fluid accumulates within the lining of the nose leading to obstruction to the flow of air. Fluid also is released into the nasal passages. In addition, budesonide is used for the treatment and prevention of nasal polyps.
DOSING: In adults and in children over the age of 6 years, the recommended starting dose of budesonide is 1 spray in each nostril once daily. The maximum dose for children older than 12 years of age and adults is 4 sprays per nostril once daily. The maximum dose for children younger than 12 years of age is 2 sprays per nostril once daily.

Cellular shades are best for energy efficiency because they trap air in the cells, keeping the warmth in and the cold air out in the winter. In the summer, they help keep the cool air in, and the heat out. They also absorb sound to make rooms more comfortable.
UV Transmittance: 0%
UV transmittance measures the effectiveness at preventing ultra violet rays from entering an interior. The percentage ratings indicate the amount of possible UV rays that actually penetrate the window covering into the interior.
Shading Coefficient: 0.30
Shading coefficient measures the heat going through the window when the shade is used versus the heat gain through a bare window. The lower the numbers, the less heat transfer and the cooler the room is in the summer.
Sound Absorption: 0.40-.045
AKA the Noise Reduction Coefficient, sound absorption is the amount of reflected sound absorbed by the shade. The greater the coefficient, the greater the sound absorption.
R-Value (Single Pane): 2.2-2.3
The R-Value rates the effectiveness of the window covering at preventing energy from flowing to the outside. The higher the number, the more insulative the product.
R-Value (Double Pane Est): 4.76-5.37
See above for Single Pane Description.
Fabric Width: 86"
Privacy Level: Blackout – Fabric is opaque, providing privacy and blocking light completely.
Features: Maximum privacy and light control. Neutral to the streetside.
Cleaning Instructions: Bali cellular shades are very easy to keep clean and look great for years to come. Regular dusting with a feather duster is recommended. When required, fabric can be lightly vacuumed with a brush attachment. If they become soiled with topical dirt, Bali recommends that the shade be spot cleaned using a soft rag or sponge, a mild detergent and warm water. Extra care should be used when cleaning the room darkening fabric as the fabric could be permanently creased. Due to differences in ultrasonic cleaning operators, Bali does not recommend this method of cleaning. Do not use strong detergents or spot removers. Dry cleaning is not recommended and is not covered by the warranty.
Bali's Limited Lifetime Warranty
What is Covered: The cellular shade product is warranted against original defects in materials or workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the product provided that the product was properly installed in a residential home, the product was made or assembled exclusively from Bali materials and components, and Bali's recommendations were followed with regard to limitations and specifications.
Who is Covered: This warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the product.
Obligations to the Consumer: The obligations of Bali are limited to the repair or replacement of parts or products found to be defective. Bali is not responsible for shipping costs or labor costs for measuring and taking the shade down or reinstalling the product. If repairs are made under this warranty, the repairs will be made with like or similar parts.
The Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty does not cover conditions or damages caused by accidents, alterations, misuse, or failure to follow instructions for measurement, installation, cleaning or maintenance. In addition, normal wear and tear are not covered by the warranty. All fabrics can lose original intensity after long exposure to the sun. When left for extended periods in direct sunlight, plastics tend to yellow or crack. All cords will eventually wear out. Bali considers these things to be normal wear and tear and are not covered by the warranty.
This warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other written or verbal warranties or obligations and liabilities. No person is authorized to extend or alter this warranty.
· Inside Mount: Please provide us with the exact measurements of your window opening. The manufacturer will make the necessary deductions. For complete light blockage, outside mount is recommended to avoid light gaps.
· Outside Mount: Please provide us with the exact measurements of the area you want to cover with your shade. The manufacturer will not make any allowances. It is recommended that you add 3" to each side of the width of the window for complete privacy and light control.

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Blinds Bali Cellular Shades Bali Blackout 3/8" Cellular Shades Midnight 3/8" Single Cell Shades:
I ordered these with the cordless option and the first set I received did not retract effectively. You had to lift them very slowly or they would billow. Since I had these same blinds in a prior house, I knew they could work much better. I called Bali and after they had me try a few things agreed to send me a new set and the new ones work perfectly. I would definitely buy these again!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By kathywathy

Our blind was purchased for a room at our office that was used as a relaxation room, and we wanted to be able to block light and create a soothing atmosphere. The blind does the job. It looks beautiful, and came very quickly! No problems with installation either. The people online helped me get the exact sizing for our window.Love the blind, will probably order again.

I would buy this product over and over
By Le
from Goodwin, SD
I am very pleased with the product, so much so that I am measuring my windows at my other home and going to order the same blinds for those windows. I also have had very many compliments and have shared the website with several of my friends who are going to order them also.
Incredibly Impressive!
By Mom on the Run
from Hastings, MN
We purchased these blinds for our daughter's bedroom and our bedroom, as we are all very sensitive to light while sleeping. We were so impressed that we ordered our most recent blinds for our baby's nursery. The blinds were easy to install, easy to operate, and block light out fully.

We just had new windows installed in our house and we had to replace all of our existing blinds. We already purchased these same exact blinds from a big box store 4 years ago so when it came to pricing these at that same store we were not pleased at how much they have gone up. That is when we went to Steve's blinds and wallpaper and was quoted the same price we had paid 4 years ago...sold!!! Shipping was about a week and the install was easy to to yourself. Keeps light out and helps keep the temperature in the room.
Great price and product

Ordered in Mesa color which is a great neutral color- have these blinds in a blue room and green room.
Exceeded expectations
By TPC
from Niagara Falls, NY
By following the company's instructions and providing the exact dimensions as requested, they compensated for leaving the necessary clearance for an inside fit. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product, [...] and ease of installation. Needed these to help block the hot summer sun from baking the kithcen during the day. They work as advertised. Additionally, saved us hundreds of dollars when compared to some of the local department stores and local installers. Will definitely be using Steve's again for the other windows in the house.
Extremely Pleased!!!
By C&R
from Green Bay, WI
We are extremely pleased with our blinds! We were able to put blinds in all of the windows we wanted to in our new home & absolutely love them! Prices are unbeatable! [...] just all around an A+!! Thank you Steve's Blinds!!
Worth the money
Great product for the money!
Service and delivery comments:
I measured my windows according to a competitors specs by deducting from the actual dimensions, not by Steve's directions for submitting the exact measurements. When I realized my mistake, I immediately called customer service and told them of the issue. The supervisor called me back almost immediately. They cancelled the original order and re-ordered with the correct dimensions. Steve's bent over backwards to ensure my order was perfect. I will order from them again. Thanks Steve's!!!
Does what is says
By Rick blind man
from Fenton mi
Blind itself is good. The window we have is tall and it makes it hard to operate even with the pole they sent. Pulling down to close the shade there seems to be a lot of resistance, up is fine although hard with such a tall window. It was a replacement for one that broke. The one that broke was motor controlled but the price to replace it was way higher then what we originally paid so we went with this. If price is not an obstacle and you have a tall window I would go with the motor one for sure.
Blackouts that work
By Jeanne
from Medford, Oregon
This is our second house where we have installed these blinds and we love them. This time around I wish I would have added a couple inches to the height. I gave exact height and there is a little gap at the bottom which is frustrating. I would reccomend adding an inch or two on the height.
good purchase

Bali shades
By Ina
from Chicago,Illinois
[...]Great Product
By AL
from Round Pond, ME
These shades look great and are a good value. This room gets bright, direct sun in the early morning hours, and although the room does not remain dark; these are a great improvement over the vinyl blinds we had previously.
Bali blackout shades are beautiful
By lois
from Lansdale pa
I will buy from Steve's again. The Bali shade is beautiful and half the price of stores.
Excellent quality, [...]
By Meghan
from Pittsburgh, PA
The Bali blinds look terrific, the quality is excellent.
Better than expected!
By Diamond Pam
from CT
I bought the same exact blinds at a well-known department store and am happier with this purchase since they cost less and came with a clear plastic handle which keeps the blinds clean since your hand never touches the blinds when you raise or lower them.
Extremely Happy with Purchase
By Teacher Grace
from Denver, CO
Products are exactly as described. They fit my windows perfectly and allow light and ventilation exactly where and when I want it. I chose a neutral color because I did not want my blinds to make a statement. These are exactly what I hoped to find- and at a good price.
I would buy this product again and again
By Pam the horse lover
from Chilcoot, CA
I love my shades. I got them where you could pull them up from the bottom or down from the top. That feature is the very best. You can let light in but still have privacy or you can let air in without having lots of sun. for sleeping these shades are the best. They definitely keep the light out and I do believe they also help with controlling the temperature.
By Dewitt Yourself
from Louisville, CO
Nice shades, work great, excellent price.
Missing the screws for the bracket installation. I know you would have sent them without complaint had I asked, but I had the old shades off and wanted to get these on.

A park is an open area of land that is delegated for public recreation and enjoyment. Parks are usually preserved in a natural state and often have additional amenities, facilities and lodging that the public can use for rest and recreation. They differ from gardens in that parks are much larger.
Parks are usually administered by an association, city, state or nation, but private parks owned by an individual or private association also exist. The chief advocacy and protection organization for the conservation of public parks in the United States is the National Recreation and Parks association, which represents 3,000 state and local publicly funded park associatons.
The United States government also designates certain areas as national parks or national reserves and protects those areas as well. These areas are usually tracts of land whose flora, fauna and landscape have been well preserved over the centuries. In 1872, Yellowstone National Park was the first national park designated in the US as well as in the rest of the world, These parks are specifically overseen by the National Park Service.

At the January meeting of the Lenoir County School Board, an alternative assessment for the Read to Achieve Law was approved to help ease the burden on both teachers and students.
Ellen Benton, executive director of instruction for Lenoir County Public Schools, said the Read to Achieve Program was passed as part of the Excellent Public Schools Act, which became law in July 2012. The law, which took effect for the 2013-14 school year, is designed to ensure every student reads up to or at grade level by the end of third grade.
Initially, there were three ways for students to show mastery of third grade reading standards. The first was to achieve a level III or IV on the end-of-grade English Language Arts Assessment. If this test was not passed, students could then take the Read to Achieve alternate assessment. The third way was for students to complete a Read to Achieve Portfolio.
The portfolio itself has three components, with the most important requiring students to pass 36 reading passages based on 12 reading standards. Each passage is based on one standard with five questions and passing requires students to answer four of the five questions correctly.
Benton said every student has been required to do a portfolio because teachers and administrators want students to have every opportunity possible to show proficiency and avoid retention. Instruction time for the portfolio has been longer than initially anticipated.
"When we were first trained on the portfolio passages, we were told they would take around 10 to 15 minutes to administer," she said. "Well in reality, and I'm talking to schools all the time, it's taking between 45 minute to an hour to give one of those passages."
Benton said in January the North Carolina Department of Instruction informed school districts about two alternative ways for students to show proficiency.
The first way is if students score a 442 on the beginning-of-grade English and Language Arts assessment. The test is administered on the eleventh day of school, but it does not exempt students from taking end of grade tests.
"They will still take the end of grade test so that way they can show growth and of course they are still learning every day in their third grade class," Benton said.
Benton said the second alternative, the Reading 3D TRC (text and reading comprehension)which had to be approved by the school board, is something teachers have already been doing in the classroom.
"It's a performance assessment that is done one on one with a teacher," she said. "The student has to read aloud and the teacher logs whether the student is reading the words correctly or not. They must answer questions orally, retell the story they read and must answer questions in writing. So it's really a more complete literacy test than an A,B,C, multiple choice test. I thinking using this level P and TRC will help us better identify the students that are really struggling and who really need the extra help."
The board voted unanimously to approve the measure.
Northeast Elementary School third grade teacher Keisha White said she is grateful the board took action.
"It's better because it uses less paper," she said. "Also, we can see the skills students are struggling with and what needs to be worked on."
Superintendent Stephen Mazingo said he feels the district has been doing a good job of adjusting to the changes in the Read to Achieve Law.
"I commend Ellen Benton for staying informed along with researching and looking at what the law requires and how we implement the law," he said. "She brought an outstanding recommendation to the board, one that was recently allowed by the state board in terms of the state trying to figure out how we best implement what the legislature asks us to do. The alternative will serve our students well and it's something we already have in place."

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by CHEFLFTR Great Lifting Shoe I am an avid lifter and I like to go heavy; I have worn several shoes in the past and these have been the best so far. I get great heel drive and balance at the bottom of my ATG squats and the have a very low sole profile that they are comfortable to wear during dead lifts. Extremely light and breathable. Overall great shoe and seemingly versatile. August 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by jwesel Great shoe I have been working out for yrs and have recently been looking into a better feel on my feet for my leg days. A friend turned me onto these shoes and they have.been amazing. I would recommend them to anyone. May 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ireland74 Crossfit beginning Great shoe. I can feel the the ground perfectly. Very tactile. Exactly what I was looking for. October 27, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Kodeman38 Not very durable. I received this pair of shoes and they seemed very cheaply constructed. For a work out shoe it did not seem they would hold up. Given they were too small and I returned them but I would have returned them regardless. The right shoe was smaller than the left shoe. I held them sole down together and the right shoe was almost a 1/2 size smaller than the left. I would not recommend these shoes for anyone training in cross fit! September 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by HENDOGGGG AWESOME I really like the shoe, they look good, i love running in them and they are just overall phenomenal December 31, 2012

Vilma was ordered to sit out the 2012 season by the NFL for allegedly offering $10,000 to a player for knocking Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner out of a 2009 playoff game.
Defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove, who now plays for Green Bay; defensive end Will Smith and Scott Fujita, now with Cleveland, were suspended for part of the season, the league said Wednesday.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he decided on the penalties after focusing on "players who were in leadership positions at the Saints; contributed a particularly large sum of money toward the program; specifically contributed to a bounty on an opposing player; demonstrated a clear intent to participate in a program that potentially injured opposing players; sought rewards for doing so; and/or obstructed the 2010 investigation."
Former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely for his lead role in the 2009-11 program in which players were allegedly offered cash to injure or force opposing players from games against New Orleans.
New Orleans Coach Sean Payton was suspended for the 2012 season and General Manager Mickey Loomis was suspended for eight regular-season games.
Vilma's suspension takes effect immediately, the NFL said. Hargrove is to miss the first eight games of the 2012 season while Smith was ordered to sit for four games and Fujita three.

Shigella Infection
Shigellosis facts*
*Shingellosis facts by John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
What is shigellosis?
Reader Stories
Shigellosis is an infectious disease caused by a group of bacteria called Shigella. Most who are infected with Shigella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps starting a day or two after they are exposed to the bacteria. The diarrhea is often bloody. Shigellosis usually resolves in 5 to 7 days. Persons with shigellosis in the United States rarely require hospitalization. A severe infection with high fever may be associated with seizures in children less than 2 years old. Some persons who are infected may have no symptoms at all, but may still pass the Shigella bacteria to others.
