U.S. study shows dog owners exercise more than others
Washington: Dedicated dog owners spend more time exercising than their urban neighbours without pet dogs, said a study in the February issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
"There's this extra dog obligation that helps get people up and out for their exercise," said author Shane Brown, a physical education instructor and researcher at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.
Mr. Brown and co-author Ryan Rhodes surveyed 177 men and 174 women between age 20 and 80 in Greater Victoria and found that the 70 dog owners walked an average of 300 minutes a week, compared to 168 minutes a week forthe others.
However, other than walking, dog owners exercised less than non-owners, suggesting that when dog lovers go on walks, they do it partly because they choose to be active with their pets. "A feeling of obligation to the dog explained 11 per cent of the variance of getting out there and actually doing the behaviour," Mr. Brown said.
Equal time
Women and men spent equal time walking their dogs. Time spent on strenuous physical activity, either walking or other forms of exercise, was similar for owner and non-owners.
"There's a lot of common sense around the idea that if people have dogs in an urban setting, they're going to walk a lot," said Sylvia Moore, Ph.D., director of the Division of Medical Education and Public Health at the University of Wyoming.
Both she and Mr. Brown point out that community infrastructure such as dog-walking parks may play a role in determining how active pet owners will be. ANI

Ranger 29, keel flexing?
I had a Ranger 29 -that I'm hoping to purchase- hauled out today.
The boat is in good shape, there is no stress mark on the keel and no delamination,
However when the surveyor shook the bottom of the keel (firmly not just pushing his finger on it) the keel flexed to some extent. The boat has an encapsulated fin keel.
He is currently investigating if that's an problem or if that is normal for this boat.
Does anyone know if this boat is dying or if this is normal for this boat
Thank you!
Doesn't sound normal for any encapsulated keel to me. run away screaming foul!
The keel area should be the thickest and strongest part of the hull. There should be no flexing. If it flexes a little it will eventually flex more.

PDA View Full Version : Have you gotten out of a ticket.... oldstyle04-15-2005, 11:29....when the cop realized you were a firefighter? I'm not admitting "nuthin" and it DIDN'T happen across the street from Battalion HQ.;) Tvov04-15-2005, 16:15Of course not. Never. My driving record just happens to be very clean since I joined. Coincidence. Slinger64604-17-2005, 10:14+1, and i guess the biker cop has an itch on his leg everytime I drive by. Thats why he lowers his radar. WPD8004-20-2005, 14:51I have been a cop for 14 years now. My father just retired as a Police Chief. He gave me some sound advice when I first started. He said; Son, don't ever, ever write a fireman/EMT/Nurse/Doctor a citation. You will never know when you need them. Well one day I stopped this ER nurse for speeding. I approached her and smiled and stated for her to carry on! No problems. Well, about three weeks later I was fighting on the roadside with a mope. He was attempting to throw some dope, and I was attempting to stop him. My left leg was planted firmly on the road. I spun with the mope and my leg did not move. I damaged my knee, and moved my patella over to the side of my leg. I was still able to get him cuffed, and guess what. That Trauma Nurse that I gave a break to, drove up and rendered some very welcomed aid to me. A fireman stopped and took over the mope for me, and called for assitance on my radio. So Yep, My brothers and sisters in civil serivce, you will get a break from me! Tom;c nam02G04-20-2005, 17:45I got pulled over once while wearing a fire department logo'd sweatshirt. I got a lecture about setting a better example. And the promise that if he ever caught me going that fast through his area again I would get a ticket. Cavalry Doc04-21-2005, 20:02Nope. I've noticed the best way to avoid a speeding ticket is not to speed. Unless you have a darn good life or death emergency reason, and the ticket would be worth it. I use cruise control a lot. I've just returned to Texas from 5 years in Germany and one year in Baghdad. Neither place is a good teacher for following Texas speed limits. I also have noticed that this professional courtesy does not extend to the military in the Ft Hood area. Luckily, I've learned this from the mistakes of others.

"Al-Shabab is literally defeated now, they are on the run," said Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud at a press conference in Addis Ababa on Wednesday, but did not provide a firm timeline for the withdrawal of international troops from the troubled east African state.
Mr. Mohamud said Somali and international troops had disrupted the al-Qaeda affiliated al-Shabab militia's command and control structure and training centres and that his government was focused on rebuilding his war-torn nation. "Security is the first and foremost priority", he said, "Followed by the judicial system and public finance management. A national stabilisation plan has already been designed and is in place".
Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said Ethiopian troops deployed in Somalia would remain at their stations until they were replaced by African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom).
"We want to assure that al-Shabab will never come back," Mr. Hailemariam said, "Until then, the Ethiopian forces will remain".
Somalia has been riven by civil war since the collapse of the dictatorship of Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. In September this year, a U.N. monitored transitional government gave way to a permanent Central government headed by Mr. Mohamud, who was elected by a nominated Parliament. In October, Somali and Amisom troops took control of Kismayo, Somalia's third largest city and a vital al-Shabab base.
Since then, the national government and international community have spoken repeatedly of a "window of opportunity" for stability in Somalia.
Mr. Mohamud said his new government is in the process of fundamentally reconfiguring the Somali state by building local and regional administrations and creating a legal framework to empower these federal institutions. "There has always been a hard, centralised government system in Somalia," he said, "We don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past."

I'm very fortunate to have Dr Mitnick as my son's pediatrician. My son loves son unlike any other DR's we had in the past . He's so gentil , calm and takes his time with the kids and listen carefully to our concerns. However i'm under the impression that he doesn't accept new adults patients , only kids, can anybody correct me if i'm wrong?? If he does accept adults can you please let me know in which clinic? as for the fees it's $40 to open the file and $10 for every visit.

Janapada Lokotsava 2010.
DATE: 27-28 th Feb 2010
Location: Janapada Loka, Ramanagara Mysore-Bangalore State Highway
A Folk Cultural Activity Centre. A Folk University. A Folk Development & Research Institute. A Folk Museum.
Established in 1994, the centre has grown nationally and internationally in showcasing the best of folklore treasure. Centre celebrates Annual Festivals like the famous Lokotsava, [State Level Folk Cultural Festival], Kite Festival, Dassera etc.
Kindly visit the web space janapadaloka for further reading on janapada loka.
The State Level Annual Folk Cultural Festival. We drove to Janapada Loka on a lazy Saturday noon to witness the Festivities. Little I knew and little I expected from it as it was my first time there. On the forefront, I was awed by an elderly woman who had her hairdo with so many wonderful flowers which was exceptional.
Rather, inspirational. On the general note, almost every commoner thinks that folk has disappeared long ago. I was presented a very different picture from lokotsava. Aged from 6 to 60, every educated, semi-educated, uneducated person was there, giving complete dedication to every act of theirs.
Bhootera Kunitha, Bidar District
Bharath, the youngest from the team, is the leader of the group. Bhootera kunitha is one of the oldest and unique form of folk culture surviving in Bidar District. Their folk dance was a treat to watch. An elderly person sings the folk song of the local deity and the participant dancers dance with a lighted rope in their hands. The deity is held on the head by a female participant and she dances to the songs of praise to the deity.
Pandari Bhajane, Bellary District
Anjanappa, the main singer of the bhajans, has a team from as young as 10 year old female folk dancers to 70 year old bhajan singers. The bhajans were in kannada and telugu. The folk dance was much simpler than others. The bhajans were sung with background tala mela; the young dancers danced to the initial song and then the entire group danced in what seemed like very well choreographed.
Dollu Kunitha
There was Dollu Kunitha which was performed with highly talented group. The rhythm and the beats were great to listen to.
There were many other artists who performed several folk dances like the KORAGARA KUNITHA, the oldest and only tribe living in the region of Mangalore, GORAVARA KUNITHA, from a young troop from Bangalore who were trained in Janapada loka and a group of students from Bharathi College, Mandya who performed to the classical folk song which beautifully narrated the use of Bamboo in daily life and also performed to a wild tribal song in a contemporary style. Great performances I must say. Of this group, I could see everyone speaking fluent English and behaved very professionally. Folk culture in India is banking on such great talents not just from rural places but from cities and towns. Nadoja Dr. G. Narayana spoke on the current and future folk cultural activities and introduced the idea of bringing in the folk culture as part of the education system. Perhaps the most bankable way in which folk culture can survive and improve from here on.
Monthly activities : Folk cultural dance performances on every last Sunday of the month
Upcoming activities : KITE FESTIVAL in July, DASSERA FESTIVAL in October.

I want to express my sincere thanks for the incredible "miracle" Mitchell Carson's Team performed regarding the sale of my home. When James Jessie first found me on Zillow and pitched his sales plan that he could get me more than my listed price in 3 weeks, I thought it was a scam. The unconventional process of listing a house very low and bidding up seemed impossible to achieve the final desired price. My real estate friends and sister cautioned me against it. The process seemed a bit concerning. But it sounded so logical to me that I had to give it a try. Like James said "What do I have to lose except 3 weeks". Well, I must congratulate the entire Team for the excellent role they all performed in achieving the "impossible" goal. I now realize that God had his hand in this and brought you to me. Selling my home was one of the last steps in my retirement plan. Not only did your Team find a cash buyer (Thank you Michael Salois, you are my HERO :) but you did it within 2-1/2 weeks with a very quick closing. And you got me a sales price higher than I could have imagined. James Jessie - you are an excellent sales person and I thank you for your straight forward honesty and humor. Jason Schwager - your follow up on paperwork and guiding me through the entire process was very professional and efficient. You were always available to my calls and inquiries even after hours. Michael Salois - you worked your buns off and you were immediately responsive to all of the required action. Dana Queen and Steve Fagerwold - you were patient and kind with helping me through the escrow and title paperwork. Your office staff is great and your office is so special - modern décor - I really enjoyed the visit when I picked up the closing docs and check. So here is a BIG SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF YOU!!!!! You're the BEST :). I am recommending your entire Team to people interested in buying or selling their homes. God Bless You All. Carol Ray (p.s. Thanks for putting up with my "attitude" at times. I learned from this experience that buying and selling a home and property can be emotional. As James Jessie said to me several times "Relax, have a little fun with this, let us do the work". Next time I will relax knowing I'm in good hands).

Ratings & Reviews
I think we were one of Mike's longest clients. But he hung in there and we found the best house for our family. He is dependable and hard working. I liked the fact that when I called him he picked up the phone and rarely let it go to voice mail. The process of buying a house can be a very tedious one but Mike helped to make the process go as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend him if you are thinking of buying or selling.
Mike is also willing to drop what he's doing to help his clients. Whether its 6am on a Sunday or 10pm on a Wednesday night, he is always available. Mike is also very personable and works well with all the other agents that we dealt with. I have and will continue to recommend Mike to family and friends.
Mike was great. He was recommended to us from a friend and he was everything we were looking for. We were first time home buyers and he really walked us through every step from lending to knowledge of San Diego areas to the purchase process.
Our schedule is very hectic and Mike was available at different times and days, very flexible fitting into our schedule. He was great at following up with us, and he stayed on top of getting information about any new property we were interested in.
He was also very patient with us as we were narrowing down exactly what we were looking for.
We are very happy with our new home and would like to thank Mike for his help.
Helped me purchase my first home in La Mesa. Very responsive to any questions I had or showings I requested. Made the whole process a lot less stressful. Will recommend to any friends or colleagues.
Mike Salois assisted in purchase of our house in Chula Vista. We looked at upwards of 100 houses over a many month timespan. Mike was always optimistic in the search and eager to help, always showing up with the hard copy of the listing information . He never got tired of our inability to decide on the right house and was always there when it became time to continue the search. He was very good in dealing with the selling agent and owners. He was always quick to respond on questions about the overall process and about the multiple contract items that were often hard to understand. The most important attribute that Mike showed was that after the sale was completed, after he had gotten his comission, he continued to assist us with problems related to the sellers unfullfilled promises. Mike got no compensation for continuing this effort, but did it because of his character and proffesionalism.
Mike was great, he always made himself available and he consistently showed us property that would interest us, not places that were out of our price range. Great guy to work with and definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!
Called him and he sounded great on the phone. Followed up with him through email, he emailed to say he'd get back to me...never did. I even left another voicemail.
Maybe he got great reviews from people with expensive homes; our home was a manufactured one in a park, less than 50k, probably just not worth his while.
Michael represented us extremely well and because of him, my wife and I are HAPPY HOMEOWNERS! Michael goes out of his way to ensure smooth negotiations, transaction and communicate extremely well. My wife and I remember the first day we met, previous agent we had kept becoming a NO SHOW and my lender recommended Michael who was working out at the gym when he got the call that I needed an agent. 20 minutes later we met Michael for the first time coming straight from the gym. PROFESSIONAL he is.
Thanks Michael and you will be referred to any of my friends who look or sell a house in the future.
My wife and I highly recommend Michael Salois. He was very responsive with his phone. He always picked up or if I left a message he would call back shortly. Michael emailed us daily feeds of homes that met our criteria and was happy to include homes we found on our own. Day or night, rain or shine, Michael always made an effort to accommodate our busy schedule. He was able to open doors for us on short notice (even on late weekday evenings). When showing a house he was very professional and made an effort to provide us with all the information on the home. He would also point out potential problems. He often gave us good insight and a few jokes. It's easy to see that Michael loves what he does. Putting in offers was very easy. All documents were signed and sent electronically (no scanning, printing, and writing was necessary). This was a huge time saver and enabled us to make quick offers on homes in a competitive price range. After 6 months with a Realtor who did not work out for us, we found Michael. He did more for us in two weeks than the previous person ever did. I'm a cautious person and do not trust people easily. With that said I don't think anyone could have done a better job than Michael Salois. We are now happy home owners. Thanks Michael!

Styling Secrets Anyone?
Okay so this room is wacky. I'll admit it. And colorful. And childish. But on some level it speaks to me. It says it's okay to be flighty and to forget your keys on a regular basis. And maybe to leave some magazines all over the floor without cleaning up before the guests arrive. It tells me to eat on that amazing tray, toast with jam on a Sunday morning – dripping with real butter – and a cup of coffee that is so strong and black that your eyes go ::BING:: the second it touches your lips.
This photo reminds me of living in your home, living your real authentic self, and if your real authentic self is a little left of center than so be it. You're better for it. Living the way you want to live with all the brilliant crazy color and the bubblegum-inspired rug along with the brightest red Chucks you can find for your feet despite the fact that you're old enough to remember wearing the same ones in high school… This room is the reality we all crave in our homes, to combine real life with magazine perfection and have it look like this. It's what I crave.
Yet somehow when I try to attempt this imperfect perfection it comes out all wrong – it looks messy in a most imperfect way. To tell you why I'm obsessing over this at the moment is well, I'm trying to study styling through the images I see right now, as I'd like to get more involved in styling settings like these because my goal is to someday author a book — and so I must work hard to obtain this recipe that seems so easy just remains such a secret.
Does anyone out there have some styling tips for me? Secrets of the trade? Ideas to share? I know about decorating and interior design but styling isn't something we learned in school and I can't find any book on the topic…
This image, by the way, is from the lovely Car Moebel in Germany where I shopped for my dining room chairs and entryway furniture upon moving here. They're the best, I highly suggest ordering from them if you're located here too.

Car Moebel looks like a wonderful store. Wish they were a little closer to Australian shores. I'm hoping to unlock the secrets of styling as well Holly. I just enrolled with the International School of Colour and Design to complete their Foundation Design Course (Certificate IV in Design) followed by their Interior Styling Diploma. I've become a little obsessed with learning how to create the perfect imperfect look too!

My mother is a fabulous interior designer who worked with John Wheatman and Arthur Elrod and she is SO studied in the art of styling, it's unreal! I've asked her the very same question you're posing here and outside of telling me, "everything needs to be pressed yet lived in" she can't quite put her finger on any key elements. Ugh. I do think, however, that there is something to the "lived in" factor. I think people like to see accessories as much as larger pieces you know? The pink chair above, for example, gives us insight into her taste, but the shoes are really the secret to her personal style. In this case in particular, I think they speak volumes. Paired with the food, they really tell a story. I think that's probably one of the secrets. A glimpse into someone's home really is like a "day in the life of" to me. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but if my mom ever has a revelation I'll be sure and let you know! Great post by the way :)

I love your thoughts here (maybe because I relate well to the description above).
I know nothing about styling, but am certainly always interested in what makes an interesting photograph.
From what I have seen, cutely styled, playful homes always have a charming pair of shoes on the floor by the chair or bed. :)

hmmm. i'm not a professional designer or decorator, but i would've left the crossword and pen on the chair. and the shoes should be a bit crooked – like i shoved one off with the other foot. what about a cloth napkin next to the plate when i wiped my mouth to go get the phone i left in my purse…. i guess what i'm getting at is the picture should tell a little story. it should be moment in time in a real home. so my 2 cents is to take a look at what you do: toss the mail on the counter with the keys, leave the coffee cup on the counter with a lipstick smudge right before leaving for work. dropping the shopping bags right by the door where you kicked off your heels. but hey, i'm just me!

Hello Holly,
when I browse a interior design magazine what I like most is real homes styling. Most of the "show rooms" are perfect and beautiful but too cold to me…so (in my humble opinion!) this is what i would do; I would let the set (a real home) live a life of its own and then – when I think I'm ready – I would make some slight adjustments to my taste; removing things, changing, adding. If someone has been living in that space of course there will be stuff around you can actually use to embellish the set (half eaten apples, blankets, glasses and so on).
I think it is a very istinctive method but it could work fine to achieve a "lived in" style in a very spontaneous way.
I love your blog btw! Ciao ;)

This is what I have learned from my mom: definitely use the odd number of items in a group. balance is a biggie- short & tall, soft (greens) and hard (something architectural, like armillary sphere), orderly (stack of books) & loose (bowl of fruit). Lighting should not be glaring in any way, well placed lamps are so much better, and wall lighting- to wash to perimeter of the room – sconces, etc. even better. And of course to make it look lived in: a throw tossed loosely, not folded over a chair. candles- already used a bit, burned down. old & personal items: pictures, art, a cool old chair hanging on a wall used as art, an antique somewhat ratty quilt on the wall, well worn rugs with lots of character, this is where it gets really interesting. what is that called- wabi sabi? letting a knob stay missing from a dresser. creates tension and reflects life as it is.

hi holly! I too struggle for this lived in yet somewhat polished look. i think achieving the polished look is the easy part (although im no pro at that either). the real trouble for me is when i start to add the lived in look. things really get cluttered and messy looking. trial and error is the only way i can achieve that peaceful comfy balance. lot's of editing. it's time consuming, and im sure not the way the pros do it. but maybe practice will help streamline the process?

Styling tips-hmmm… it's not something you can really explain or teach "the formula". It's more an eye first and foremost which you seem to already have, and then just doing it over and over. Not being afraid to change things or get rid of the thing you thought would be perfect but just doesn't work in the pic after all. Looking at what other people do is always helpful. I would recommend just setting up shot's in your home and just playing, snapping shot's and redoing things….. practice, practice, practice. You probably don't have the time at this point in your life but assisting a stylist is always a great way to learn.

i think it's also important to remember that there is no 'one right way'. i bet you could take this room and arrange it three different ways. not having seen the other two, you would probably love them just the same.
i think it comes down to color, scale and light that affect how we feel about a space overall. and then each stylist adds their special little touches
and…i think you will be just fabulous at it holly

I once had the opportunity to witness the setting up of a huge Abercrombie and Fitch photo shoot at one of their three main locations for a Christmas catalog. It was a really interesting few weeks! One thing I noticed was that they actually wrote a storyline for the whole shoot (college kid Christmas bash at the parents' house, Christmas with the fam, and a lesbian wedding – go figure). Having a story in mind helped each model be assigned a character role – thereby dictating that the the surroundings had to help support the definition of the character. Couches were slipcovered, rooms rearranged, etc.
Although looking through this Christmas catalog you can't really detect too much of the detailed story they laid out, you can see if if you look. I think this is perhaps a trick to styling: you told us the story above of the person who forgets her keys, yet has modest decadence eating a simple lunch on a tray, yet is funky enough to wear red Chucks – if you had that character in mind first, I think you could style the photo accordingly. With practice. =)
fun to read these comments!

Why does colorful have to mean childish? I don't see this as childish at all. Sure, it's not sophisticated and it's pretty informal. But childish? Nope.
BTW – I LOVE all the colors.

I've been staring at this picture and there's a very obvious thing that also makes this work – the strict colour editing. Nearly single colour, on every single accessory – from the artwork to the Chucks to the flowers to the bookcovers – can be found in that rug.
The exception is the aqua glass vase, but that is still in a complementary colour and I think saves the whole look from becoming too matchy-matchy..

I think the key is to inject humanity in a subtle & concise way. How can a sense of personality be conveyed with the least amount of visual clutter? When working on designs or photos, I'm always reminding myself to edit edit edit – like removing one piece of jewelry before heading out for the night.

Hi Holly,
very nice post you made there. i had the same problem when i renovated my house because in the beginning it was cold and the objects weren't in their place. After one year of repositioning everything around and around and again adding things-hiding others i completely found my style -ok, completely is just a word- cause i think that except what Krystina the story is the key, cause now my house if you look closely tells my story and when messy tells my man's story. Haha! :)

Style — illlusive yet we recognize it, feel it, know it, almost instantly. Doing it takes practice, a little confidence and a whole lotta of abandonment, some call it trust. Emerson calls it instinct:
""All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason."

Hi Holly! I love the new European slant we are getting! Keep it coming! I adore this room, and I probably wouldn't have several years ago. I think I've become addicted to color, and am using more and more of it.
I think it works so great with the white walls and white floor. Wish I could paint my floor white!

Hi Holly,
I was also going to comment on the colour as a previous poster did. The way the colours are all pulled together in the rug. The way that particular shade of red is echoed in different items right round the photo leading your eye around the image.
Uneven numbers of things, contrasts and that one thing "out of place" all contribute as others have said. Interesting post – and love the image :)

Hi! I am all three: a feng shui consultant, home photo stylist and blogger. So I get the vital importance of styling in a fresh new way. Here are a few tips that can make a huge difference in a room:
1. check the European Arch Digest magazines- especially Spanish Arch Digest- they go for the MORER in a huge way… GIANT piles of books that tell a story, HUGE plates of figs and giant wheels of cheese— even if their excesses, they TELL A STORY
2. watch how similar colors and materials "melt together" in a frame. For instance, in a kitchen, silver objects will melt together to form a blob on camera, just as reflective objects will melt together to make shine.
3. you are always telling a story. if not, the room will not be appealing.
4. you have to pull a room way out of whack 99% of the time to get a great frame. (tables need to cheat toward the camera excessively most times, etc)
5. watch the lines in your frame- make sure drapery lines, patterns in fabrics, string verticals and horizontals- all make geometric sense. they are easy to miss.
6. FLOWERS are not just flowers- there are a thousand other grasses, plants and flowering stems, etc, that can also find their way into frame…
Oh and there are so many more. Email me and I will be happy to fill you in of you have specific questions as best I can!

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Toxicology Tests
Results continued...
High levels of prescription or nonprescription medicines may be caused by a drug overdose, either accidental or intentional. A drug overdose may be caused by one large dose of medicine or long-term overuse of a medicine. Interactions between medicines also can cause problems, especially if you start taking a new medicine. A high level may mean that a person is not taking his or her medicine correctly or that the medicine is not being properly processed by the body.
Low values
Low levels of prescription or nonprescription medicines may mean that a person is not taking his or her medicine correctly.
What Affects the Test
Reasons the results may not be helpful include:
- Some drugs that may be mistaken for others. For example, some cough medicines that do not contain narcotics may be identified as a narcotic.
- Drinking or eating some types of food (such as a food containing poppy seeds).
- Having blood in the urine.
- The amount of time between taking the drug and collecting the sample.
- Not having a large enough urine sample.
Many medicines may change the results of this test. Be sure to tell your doctor about all the nonprescription and prescription medicines you take.
What To Think About
- In general, laboratory methods are better able to detect drugs in urine than in blood. Compared to urine and blood tests, saliva tests can provide a less invasive and equally accurate way to detect drugs.
- The reliability of toxicology tests depends on the methods used by the laboratory. Occasionally drugs that have been taken are not detected (called a false-negative result) or drugs that have not been taken are detected (called a false-positive result).
- Results that mean drug use or abuse should always be confirmed by at least two different test methods because of the possibility of false results, the possible consequences (such as arrest or loss of a job), and the legal aspects of drug tests.
- Attempts to block or interfere with test results by drinking large amounts of water or taking other substances may be dangerous and usually do not change the test results.
- For suspected drug abuse, a trained person may need to watch the urine, blood, or saliva collection, and every person who handles the sample must sign a "chain of custody" document that is kept together with the test report. This prevents the substitution or loss of the urine, saliva, or blood sample.
- A breath test may be used to estimate blood alcohol level. To learn more, see the topic Self-Test for Breath Alcohol.
- Standard tests can't detect inhalant abuse. Inhalant abuse is when someone inhales or sniffs common household products to "get high." Such products include—but are not limited to—glues, nail polish remover, lighter fluid, spray paints, and cleaning fluids.

5.0 out of 5 stars The MUSIC with Everything,
S. Honeyman (Scotland) - See all my reviews
If The X Factor and Britain (or insert your own country here) Has Very Little Talent has the thumbs down set on your Tivo box then Ayreon's The Theory of Everything will come as a timely oasis in the desert that is modern music.
Progressive music got a bad reputation with those who could only play three chords on a guitar and didn't have the musical ability, imagination or attention span to explore any further. So welcome back my friends to the show that never really ended, welcome to THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING, Arjen's attempt to progress music a little further in 2013.
For those of you who are still to become Ayeonauts (where have you been!!!), the band Ayreon is really a 6 foot 7 inch tall geeky guy from the Netherlands called Arjen Anthony Lucassen with the help of a couple of regular contributors and assorted special guest singers and musicians adding a solo here and there to a greater or lesser extent.
In nearly all of the reviews I have seen so far a lot has been made of the all star guest players. While this is certainly the talking point of the album, what must not be forgotten here is that 90% of what you hear is played by Arjen himself - the guitars, bass, most of the keyboards. If you focus on that, it's then you start realising how significant a talent he has. Quite extraordinary. Nevermind Actual Fantasy, this guy as ACTUAL TALENT, and an over abundance of it.
I'll not review the content of the music in detail as that has been done many times elsewhere. Instead I will sketch a picture of how this album makes me feel.
When I feel jaded and world weary, when something's bothering me, I will look through my music collection for inspiration and 50% of the time I will find I have an Ayreon album in my hand. I will lay down with my Audeze phones on and listen, REALLY LISTEN. Almost daily for the past few weeks I have found The Theory of Everything entering my ears and firing my imagination. Arjen's music is a eclectic combination of many things I like in music, he could almost be composing this just for me. His music has imagination, a scale and depth I have rarely heard elswhere. Arjen tells stories with his music so you wonder what is going to happen next both narratively and sonically.
I appreciate his choice of instruments, many of which have a noticable texture to them, i.e. old analogue synths with sci-fi like square waves which tickle my ears. Then there is his gravelly Hammond organ which invoke feelings of grandure. There is a lot of violin, cello and low flutes on this album, again adding texture to the sound, giving it another dimension. On this album Arjen uses his trademark deep tone crunching industrial rhythm guitar backgrounds on some tracks. This adds another texture layer to the music all of which make listening with headphones an aural and physical experience. Try it and see what I mean, give your ears a workout.
If you have never heard of Arjen Lucassen or his music before and you like rock music with feeling and a spacious epic sense of wonder you really must listen to this. Melodic, rhythmic, sometimes metal, sometimes folk, other times intense, other times sublime.
Of course "Theory" is not perfect. Some of the transitions between tracks sound a tiny bit forced. I remember reading somewhere that sigues or transitions between two pieces of music stick in the memory at a deeper level than the music itself - this might leave a jarring feeling with those not accustomed to the sudden, angular changes of tempo or melody common with progressive music. Keith Emmerson's solo is a little embarrassing - Arjen asked him for something along the lines of the solo from Lucky Man, Keith must have taken him too literally as he delivered about 30 notes which are an uncomfortably close pastiche of that and a solo from Pictures at an Exhibition. All the vocalists do a fantastic job, however the two female singers are a little too similar and without the lyrics in hand it's possible to get the mother and the girl characters confused. Also the singer portraying the father has a higher voice than the son, which goes against the grain a little.
I would sum up the music of Ayreon as an aural and emotional journey - a comfort blanket for the imagination. Spacey, epic, profound, full of musical wonder, curiosity and experimentation (some of which crash and burn but many take you to places you really wish you could stay). There are a hundred wonderful riffs, hooks and musical passages throughout the hour and twenty minutes of The Theory of Everything, some make you smile, some make you say "wow" to yourself.
I hope with this tremendous double album Arjen will finally breakthrough into a wider and general appreciation of his music beyond the usual prog and metal scene. Why is music in our culture dominated by barely post-pubescent girls or boy bands - the sonic equivalent of painting-by-numbers or the Mona Lisa done on Etch-a-Sketch? Let's hear it for tall Dutch guys for a change who can actually write and play their own stuff. :)
The Theory of Everything deserves to be up there with "The Wall" or "Echoes". It is a significant event in the history of progressive music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous as you'd expect!!,
This is probably going to be my favourite Ayreon album along with 01, and that's saying something amongst all the great Ayreon stuff. The concept here is a bit more "down to earth" than usual - basically an interesting tale about a young mathematical genius and the people surrounding him, ending in an intriguing touch of mystery. The vocalists Arjen has used are ALL amazing - and we've got people like Marco Hietala and Tommy Karevic. And an array of incredible musicians. Choosing the right people for projects like this is half the skill. It's beautifully put together, the music perfectly complementing the vocal sections and the story. Prog at its finest. Emotional and intelligent, melodic and powerful. It's not an "easy" listen, not for background music - you need to pay it the courtesy of attention, take time to sit and allow yourself to be drawn into the story and properly hear the voices of the characters and the magical music drawing pictures around them. It's a holistic experience in music and lyrical imagery. And as always with Arjen's work, a beautiful package with lovely atmospheric artwork.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ayreon and on and on and on !,
Stuart Smallman "s.smallman" (staffs,england) - See all my reviews
This is a beauty of an album , the like of which is very rarely seen these days. The album with it's wonderful Tull like hook is a great prog epic in the tradition of the one's that went before and reminds me so much of waiting for the new Yes or ELP release . The art work by Jef Bertels (today's Roger Dean) leads you into a magical Arjen concept with a journey of time changes to compliment the story and the great vocalists that tell the tale as actors would on stage.
Anybody familiar with Arjen's work will already have this album , but if by chance you stumble upon this and the other reviews looking for somethhing different but yet familiar to listern to and have a love for all things prog , then do buy and sit back on a journey of pure escapism and enjoyment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prog Rock Heaven @ It's Best...,
Lee Lucas "intruder369" (Birmingham England) - See all my reviews
Have to agree entirely with the many comments here and for me Into The Electric Castle was always my fave of Ayreon albums but I think The Theory Of Everything as succeeded it. In reality I love them all and Arjen's work on Ayreon as always appealed to me big style and this album contains many of my God's with the likes of Rick Wakeman. Keith Emerson. Jordan Rudess. Steve Hackett. As for the singers I have never heard of any of them before apart from John Wetton. But have to say what a terrific job they have all done, along with the other muso's and of coarse Arjen himself..
As with all Ayreon albums they take years to come out (not surprising really when you consider just what a genius this guy is) and this one completely got past me on its release, and I only discovered it last week on youtube and on Friday on the 14th February 2014 as soon as my pennies went in the bank I instantly ordered the Limited Box Set with DVD.
It very much came with the MP3 Audio Rip which was a great thing and having seen Arjen's video on the tube about it having 4 long epics over some 20 minutes each and him stating to take it easy, and not take them all on at once. I can honestly say over this weekend and even now on this Monday morning I have took on the whole journey at least 20 times, and even had an whole Ayreon Weekend and blasted out his other 7 albums too, and when the discs arrive I know I am gonna be enjoying the experience even more in better quality and give my ears another treat by playing it to death (LOL).
Absolutely Prog Rock Heaven at its best is what I call it and it ROCKS my boat 100%.

Name: Eliot Nadel
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Element: Air
Class: Airbender
Side: WL
Appearance: At exactly six feet two, Eliot's about average height. He has fairly long blue hair, mostly because he hates the barber's shop (He's worried about getting his ears chopped off.) He usually dresses in formal styles, usually wearing a tuxedo vest, white button up shirt, reddish-violet paisley tie, charcoal slacks, and black dress shoes, and his skin is the color of hot chocolate mix. He always wears a pair of pink heart-shaped sunglasses over his green eyes, and he has uncommonly large blue eyebrows. He also has a pair of black fake kitty ears on his head that won't come off.
Personality: Eliot is a hedonist to the core. He loves women (Whom he shamelessly flirts with), money (Which he spends lavishly), and sour foods (Which he eats little but.) However, he can be genuinely nice, and even selfless at times. He is extremely spirited and outgoing too, and likes to make friends with everyone. He also loves kittens, and is truly dedicated to spreading love throughout the world.
History: Eliot saw a lot of his father's back, as his father was a serious businessman working on serious business. His father often left him with a flying baby sitter that was very strict, and taught him to be a gentleman and swordfight. Whenever he stepped out of line, she would scream in his ears and throw a book at him. This led to him having a high tolerance for pain, and being very chivalrous and polite.
Eventually, at the age of six, his father sent him to a fancy pants boarding school for boys. Deprived of women to hit on, he was miserable there, and deluded himself into thinking that his father would never be so cruel as to send him to such an awful place. He escaped when he was seven, and went home, only to find that his father did, indeed, want him there, and out of his hair. After his flying nanny threw three books at him and screamed in his ear for five hours, he was sent back. On the ride there, he contemplated his relation to his dad, and decided that if it was the last thing he did, he'd impress his father.
While in school, he studied extremely hard, in an effort to get good grades, and please his dad. The janitor saw him in the library there, too busy studying to make friends, and eventually started chatting with him. They quickly became friends, and though Eliot didn't realize it, the janitor became the father he never had, and upon realizing he had the potential for airbending, taught him how to use it to swordfight.
Finally, the Black Lotus came, and burned his school to the ground, killing the janitor, and making all his work moot. He then decided that if it was the last thing he did, he would defeat the Black Lotus and make his father proud!
Theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34jh5YOXppw
Other: He uses a martial art with a bokuto, or wooden sword. He imbues the dead wood with his own chi, making it essentially part of him, and allowing him to use it as a conduit for his airbending, making it almost indestructible, and unbelievably sharp. He can do it with any piece of wood, but uses his bokuto because it is built specifically for fighting with. He can also use airbending to speed himself up. However, since he concentrates mostly on learning to use his sword, he probably won't learn anymore bending techniques anytime soon without a master.

Delgado, Ross help D-backs down Mets, end skid
JUL 03, 2013 10:24p ET
NOTES: Diamondbacks OF Gerardo Parra was out of the starting lineup for the second consecutive night after he was shaken up trying to make a diving catch on the warning track Monday, leaving him with scrapes and bruises on his face and arm. Gibson said he thought Parra would probably be available off the bench. ... Rookie SS Didi Gregorius also was rested, in favor of Pennington. ... Arizona has not announced who will start Friday night against Colorado in place of RHP Trevor Cahill, put on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a bruised right hip. ... The Diamondbacks placed backup infielder Willie Bloomquist on the 15-day DL with a bruised left hand, retroactive to June 27, and recalled Campana from Triple-A Reno. The speedy Campana took an overnight flight and was in the leadoff spot. He threw out Murphy at second on a leadoff single in the fourth off the left-center fence -- just before Wright homered. ... Goldschmidt flied out as a pinch-hitter in the eighth. ... Mets manager Terry Collins said RHP Shaun Marcum (1-9) will make his scheduled start Saturday night in Milwaukee after an MRI came back clean. Collins said Marcum felt a little tingling in his hand during his last outing, the same symptoms he had in spring training that landed him on the DL to start the season with tightness in his neck and upper back. "He's fine," Collins said. ... Harvey won his major league debut in Arizona last July 26 with 11 strikeouts in 5 1-3 shutout innings.

KANSAS CITY – Live by the sword? Die by the walkoff home run.
When Angels manager Mike Scioscia refers to the "deception" that makes closer Ernesto Frieri so effective, he is talking about Frieri's delivery. He is definitely not talking about pitch selection.
"He's a fastball-dominant pitcher. That's been the reason for his success the whole time," Angels catcher Chris Iannetta said, estimating Frieri throws his fastball "98, 99 percent of the time – sometimes 100 percent."
"I don't think that's a secret to anybody."
It was no secret to Royals DH Billy Butler or catcher Salvy Perez. They jumped on fastballs from Frieri in the ninth inning Saturday, hitting back-to-back home runs in the span of four pitches to give the Royals a dramatic walkoff victory.
"I was looking for a fastball – absolutely," Butler said. "I told Sal on deck that he's predominantly a heater (fastball pitcher). You've got to go up there and not be late.
"Neither of us was late."
It is getting late in the year for Frieri who has never handled a closer's role before this season – in the minors or majors, let alone down the stretch in a playoff race. But Scioscia said games like Saturday's are not a sign that the mental and physical toll of a season in that role are wearing on Frieri.
"His velocity is okay," Scioscia said. "You know, Ernie has deception in his delivery so he's not going to be a pure, in-the-zone command guy. When he puts the ball in the zone, it's got a lot of late life through the zone. That's what he relies on. Tonight, those guys just got the head to the ball and squared a couple up."
They did not get in Frieri's head, however. He remained defiant and confident after the game, even as he expressed remorse for ruining an outstanding start by Zack Greinke.
"It's part of the game," Frieri said. "I need to execute the pitch. I need to make my pitch. I gave my best today. I wasn't lucky. They are really good hitters, too.
"I'll tell you this -- I'm going to come tomorrow. I'm going to keep throwing my fastball. I'm going to do my job. I wouldn't change anything. When was the last time I pitched bad? Two months ago? I'm going to keep doing my thing. If I face Butler tomorrow, I'm going to get him out. If I face Perez tomorrow, I'm going to get him out. I'm going to help the team to win the series. I won't change anything."
Albert Pujols went 13 games between home runs before he hit his 30th of the season on Wednesday. That made him the first player with 30 or more home runs in each of his first 12 major-league seasons and one of only four players in baseball history to hit 30 or more in each of 12 consecutive seasons at any point in their career – along with Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez and Jimmie Foxx.
It was also the 475th home run of his career, tying him with Cardinals icon Stan Musial and another Hall of Famer, Willie Stargell, for 28th on the all-time list.

The Sisterhood Exchange book club - Sister to Sister

We're into part 2 of The Sisterhood Exchange, which means that the discussions are all about connecting "Sister to Sister."
Call in tonight at 646-595-2081, to share your thoughts, ask a question or provide brilliant insight!
Michelle will be talking about how jealousy shows up between women and how we can use it to our advantage.
The Sisterhood Exchange book club - Part 2: Sister to Sister
in Women
We're up to part two of The Sisterhood Exchange book club. Part one explored our relationship with ourself via the Sisterhood of Self (S.O.S.). It was important to begin there because in addition to determining our quality of life, our S.O.S. also informs how we interact with other women - those we know and those we don't.
Tonight's episode introduces Sister to Sister and explains how your relationship with yourself, including your self-talk, whether you practice self-forgiveness, spend time with yourself in the silence, etc., determines your relationship with other women. Your S.O.S. determines whether you engage in gossip and betrayal or whether you're supportive and genuine.
Call in and share your experiences with other women. How do they treat you? How do you treat them?
Dial 646-595-2081 to get in on the discussion.

Join host Michelle Hollinger tonight at 7:30pm to learn what L.I.V.E. stands for and how using it creates positive energy in your life as well as in the lives of the women with whom you interact.

It's one of the sweetest surrenders that you can experience and we'll be discussing it Wednesday night.
Join Michelle Hollinger as we wrap up our discussion on The Sisterhood of Self (S.O.S.). Call in to 646-595-2081 to share your thoughts, ask a question or contribute brilliant insight.

The Launch of The Sisterhood Exchange Book Club
in Women
The book has been updated, revised and released in paperback form, and it's getting rave reviews. Because one of the most frequent bits of feedback Michelle gets is that women are reading and re-reading the book, the idea of a book club to discuss it is the natural thing to do! The other feedback is that once a woman reads it, she doubles back to purchase additional copies for her sistahfriends! If that's not book club material, then what is?
Join host and book club facilitator Michelle Hollinger tonight at 7:30pm as she and women from around the country embark on a very important discussion about sisterhood.
Get the book at http://www.amazon.com/Sisterhood-Exchange-Michelle-Hollinger-ebook/dp/B00T72LPK6/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424898704&sr=8-1&keywords=the+sisterhood+exchange+paperback, fix yourself a cup of tea or pour a glass of wine and join us for what is likely to be the most awesome book club you've ever experienced!
The Sisterhood Exchange Book Club - Part 2: Stop Gossiping!
in Women
Part 2 of The Sisterhood Exchange book is a natural extension of the Sisterhood of Self (S.O.S). The way that we treat ourselves determines the way that we treat other women, Sister to Sister.
This episode discusses the "G" word and how it blocks women from being who they really are and from achieving what they are here to achieve. The chapter explores how there really isn't anything positive about it and why pretending that it is innocent really does a disservice to the women who engage in it.
Join Michelle Hollinger for another discussion about sisterhood and why gossiping keeps you stuck. Call in to646-595-2081 to get in on the discussion.
The Sisterhood Exchange Book Club, session 2
in Women
The book club discussion continues. Last week's launch was awesome. We discussed the book's preface and The Sisterhood of Self (S.O.S). This week's discussion will include a quick review before we delve into chapter 1, 'Disconnect to Connect;' which essentially says that if you're really serious about reaching your goals, tuning out the external noise is absolutely essential.
Get the book at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_22?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=the+sisterhood+exchange+paperback&sprefix=the+sisterhood+exchang%2Caps%2C391 and join the discussion!

The Sisterhood Exchange book club - session 7
in Women
Session 7 of The Sisterhood Exchange book club happens on Wed. night at 7:30pm. This session is on the issue of worthiness - a topic that deserves to be explored because a woman's sense of worthiness determines so much of what she is able to accomplish - or not - in her life. Unworthiness repels - worthiness attracts!
Join host and book club facilitator, Michelle Hollinger, for another fascinating discussion about sisterhood, the S.O.S. and why embracing your worthiness is one of the most important things you will do in your life.
If you haven't gotten your copy of the book, click here to get either the e-book or the paperback. To get an autographed copy, please click here.
The Sisterhood Exchange book club - session 6
in Women
We're up to session 6 of The Sisterhood Exchange book club and tonight's chapter is a doozy! The Gratitude Groove is a short, sweet ode to gratitude and why making it a permanent part of your life changes it.
Join Michelle Hollinger for another awesome discussion of the book that women are reading, re-reading and buying extra copies of for the sistahfriends in their lives.
Get your copy at Amazon. The show starts at 7:30pm.
The Sisterhood Exchange book club, session 5
in Women
It's one of the book's most popular, most talked about and most thought-provoking chapters. It's 'If We Knew Then, What We Know Now,' and it shines a light on how women can become fixated on the past by replaying it over and over, imagining how their lives would be different if they'd only done "this" instead of "that."
The chapter explores why writing letters of advice to your younger self is a waste of time and energy; who you SHOULD be writing that letter to and the two most important words you can say to your younger self.
Join Michelle Hollinger, your host and book club facilitator, for what promises to be an enlightening and powerful discussion.
Get your copy of the book in e-book or paperback at Amazon. For autographed copies, go to michellehollinger.com.

1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham 4.1 from North America
Love it
The car sat for almost 7 years and was driven less than 3000 miles in 7 years. I bought it from a friend for 1000.00, and started it and drove away. The only thing I find wrong with the motor is it hesitates on occasion.
I drove it 500 miles to the coast for Thanksgiving and it only used 110.00 in fuel. The gas gauge is broken, but computer says it got 16.5 to the gallon. I like it; a comfortable ride and a perfect interior.
General Comments:
Great car!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 24th November, 2014
25th Nov 2014, 00:20
I hope you know what you have gotten yourself into purchasing an HT4100 powered 80's Cadillac - especially a heavy rear wheel drive one. That engine is the worst engine ever put in a Cadillac. Even worse than the 350 diesel.
The HT4100 is known for the following major failures: camshaft, timing chain, main rod bearing, intake manifold gasket, head gasket, and oil pump. The only advice I can give you is change the oil every 3000 miles, flush the antifreeze and use the very important cooling system sealant annually. The sealant is available at any GM dealer. Never let it overheat and keep your fingers crossed.
This engine was not even intended to be put in a heavy RWD Fleetwood Brougham. They did it to meet CAFE standards for 1982. Cadillac geared this car real short because the engine was so low on power and torque. It's geared at 3.42:1 so the engine is always revving high up the RPM range; therefore the engine is constantly being overworked and tears itself apart over a relatively short period of time - similar to a 60s Volkswagen. The average life expectancy of a HT4100 is 80,000-100,000 miles. Good luck.
26th Nov 2014, 19:22
Is it possible to replace the lousy 4.1 liter with a nice 307 Oldsmobile V8, such as powered later Broughams?
27th Nov 2014, 14:15
It's possible and relatively easy to do. However since you are choosing Oldsmobile power, I'd recommend a 350 or 403 (preferably a 403 if you can find one). The 307 is another CAFE engine and is best suited in a 3600lb car i.e. Cutlass or Toronado. They are underpowered in large GM cars.
When GM redesigned their large cars in 1977, they all featured an engine either 5.7L or 6.6L (7.0L for Cadillac) with anywhere from 170hp-180hp and 275 lbs-320 lbs of torque. Those figures provide the best driving experience for these big cars.
27th Nov 2014, 16:23
Yes, but it involves a lot of work.
27th Nov 2014, 18:53
I wouldn't say it's easy. The computer, engine mount brackets, A/C and other accessories are all different. However I do agree that swapping a 307 for a 350 or 403 is a great idea, and much easier on the 86-89 models equipped with the 307.
The best thing to do with the 82-85 models is stay away from them.
30th Nov 2014, 04:23
The HT-4100 has a storied past. If yours is still alive and kicking, it has likely been replaced by a re-engineered replacement. The original is not likely to have made it this far.

Katz said she had started discussing possible legislation on the sidewalk sheds over a year ago. "There was no enforcement," she said. "It was getting out of hand." She said she was glad to see the buildings department finally take action earlier this year. "But that costs a lot of money. It ends up being almost a full-time job," she said. Since the advertising companies were throwing up their posters anyway, she suggested, "this could be a good source of revenue for the city." Her bill would curb the worst excesses by limiting the ads to commercial districts, she said.
Just how expensive is that enforcement? "That's a good question," she said. "How much did it cost specifically? I don't know. I do know it is a lot of resources."
So, no cost analysis. What revenues might the new permit fees yield? That calculation has yet to be made as well. "I don't have an expectation. I apologize," she said. "The onus is on the buildings department to find the best way to enforce it."
Katz also never got around to discussing the matter with the organizations that originally pressured the city to do something. Last year, the Municipal Arts Society documented violations and then demanded that the city end the illegal free ride the advertisers were getting.
Had she met with that group? "No, we didn't," said Katz. She added, agreeably: "We should. That's a good idea, actually."
Vanessa Gruen, the watchdog who spearheaded the society's efforts, said she was stunned when she heard about the new legislation.
"After a lot of pushing by ourselves and others, the city started cracking down," said Gruen. "Thenwhammowhat does Melinda Katz do? She introduces this bill to the City Council to make them legal. These are public sidewalks. We're the ones who have to live with this. I think we ought to be consulted."
Katz said she's now eager for feedback. "I'm very curious to hear how the public feels about it," she said. Whatever she hears, it won't be any rougher than what the crowd at Shea Stadium doled out a week ago Sunday. An amateur singer, Katz sang "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch of the Mets' disastrous final game. The Mets were down 8-1 when she took the mic behind home plate. If she didn't exactly cheer up the house, no one thought she did any worse than pitcher Tom Glavine that day.

Southeast Solomons
The family of Southeast Solomonic languages forms a branch of the Oceanic languages. It consists of some 26 languages covering the South East Solomon Islands, from the tip of Santa Isabel to Makira. The fact that there is little diversity amongst these languages, compared to groups of similar size in Melanesia, suggests that they dispersed in the relatively recent past.[2] Bugotu is one of the most conservative languages.
According to Lynch, Ross, & Crowley (2002), the structure of the family is as follows:[3]
- Bugotu–Gela–Guadalcanal family
- Longgu–Malaita–Makira family
