Grey's Anatomy
Fifty Shades of Meredith Grey (PHOTO)
What do Grey's Anatomy and Fifty Shades of Grey have in common? Well, quite a lot actually!
Both stories take place in Seattle and have developed die-hard fan bases. Not enough to sway you? Then consider the parallels of the relationship between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey to that of MerDer. When Meredith first met Derek, she was a young, nubile graduate looking to fine tune her medical skills on the road to Surgeon-ville. Their relationship has endured a number of seemingly sadistic highs ("Pick Me! Choose Me! Love Me!") and lows ("Hi. I'm Addison Shepherd.") — not to mention, one steamy erotic dream courtesy of Meredith's dark and twisty imagination — that has kept viewers captivated for eight seasons to-date.
To celebrate our love for the tenacious Grey's Anatomy heroine, we've created a mosaic featuring fifty different shades (ahem, images) of Meredith Grey.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
Miss Grey's? Us too. Luckily the show will return to Thursdays at 9 p.m. with all-new episodes in the fall on ABC.

Its funny how you come across birds that youve never seen or photographed and suddenly have several encounters in a short time. In December and January I had two widely separated sightings of long-eared owls (in days past called the lesser horned owl or cat owl). In both cases, birder Web sites on the internet had indicated the location of the owls. The long-eared owl doesnt advertise its whereabouts. After hunting in the darkness of night for voles and mice by flying in low, quartering patterns over open fields, the birds are usually safely roosting in dense conifer groves well before dawn. The owls small prey is located (in near total darkness) primarily by sound. The ear tufts on the crown of the long-eared owls head are only feathers: the owls prodigious hearing is the result of disproportionately large auditory openings which are situated at different levels on the birds skull. Specialized cells in the brain enable the owl to pinpoint the location of any sound: a neural map of the search area is generated by analysis of both sound intensity and time interval differences for sounds to reach the asymmetrically located ears. Any sound detected is thus pinpointed in both horizontal and vertical planes, enabling the noiselessly flying owl to pounce without warning on its victim, which is quickly dispatched by a killing snap to the neck by the owls beak. I have often had the sharpness of owls hearing demonstrated while waiting and watching perched owls through a big camera lens. Despite a distance of 50 meters, a shutter click or autofocus motor noise will result in the owls head snapping toward the hidden camera: suddenly youre staring down the lens directly into the eyes of a predator. Although breeding of long-eared owls in the Northeast is thought to be rare, the birds nocturnal nature makes detection from spring through fall difficult. Populations may be greater than ornithologists are aware. In winter the nomadic owls tend to gather in colonies of up to 25, roosting in dense groves of coniferous trees adjacent to open hunting fields. This is the best chance for owl enthusiasts to get a glimpse of the secretive long-eared owl.

Phillips will head to Southeastern Conference Media Days next week and follow that up the next week with an appearance at the Kickoff Luncheon on July 29.
On Thursday, Phillips talked at the Rotary Club Luncheon. Here are some notes and quotes from Phillips with the media before the luncheon:
- Like any coach would be at this time of the year, Phillips is anxious to get the season underway, but there's more excitement this season than there has been in the past because of some of the summer reports Phillips has received. "There is a lot of buzz going around our facility right now with our strength and conditioning coaches, (and) our current players talking about the players that walked in," Phillips said. "That's getting me excited about the season." Phillips said that while the program hit a bit of a plateau last year by going 6-7, it's a team on the rise this year because of the attitude of the players coming back.
- As some of you may have watched in the video interviews on Wednesday with the players, there is a lot of excitement about the new "Thursday Night Lights" workouts strength and conditioning coaches Rock Oliver and Ted Lambrinides have instituted. The idea started the week of July 4 just to give the players a longer break, but the guys fell in love with it. "It wasn't like; they loved it," Phillips said. "They felt that they were a lot more alert and felt together. They have recommended to Rock and his staff and they have taken their recommendation to heed and now are starting to implement that into our program as being a "Thursday Night Lights" deal. I think you always have to listen to your players and Rock and Teddy are doing that, therefore we'll move to a Thursday night workout."
- There's been a lot of talk recently about the team chemistry being stronger this year. While he didn't see anything wrong with the chemistry last year, it was the team's first year learning how Phillips and his coaching staff operates. This year, there's a better understanding of what to expect. "That's one of the things we've tried to stress as much as we possibly can is that the teams that get the best players don't always win championships," Phillips said. "Therefore, all those ratings, the No. 1 ranked team would win every year. We wouldn't have to line up. The teams that are together, teams that are disciplined, teams that are tough, teams that are physical, that's what we've been trying to preach to our players. If we stay together, if we're physical, if we're a disciplined football team, we'll win games."
- Along those same lines, Phillips said there is definitely some truth to the notion that you don't know what it's like to be a head coach until you've actually done it. Phillips said there was certainly an adjustment from managing three coaches and 50 players as a coordinator to managing nine to 10 coaches, undergraduate assistants, support staff and twice as many players. "I'm a more experienced head coach after a year," Phillips said. "I've been through the wars and the battles. Truly, the thing I've learned through the years is how to say no to folks. I think that's helped me as a head coach, and a year into this business as a head coach, sending some of our assistants to sell our plans. I think our assistants understand our plan and I thought last year it was my job to get out there and sell our plan, not only to the media, not only to the fans, not only to our players, but also to our coaches. I think I'm much more experienced and comfortable with sending our coaches out there."
- One of the changes Phillips will make this year is summer camp. Last year, Phillips brought the first and third teamers into practice for one session and then followed with the second and fourth teamers for another session. That will be scrapped this year in favor of a full team practice that will run a little bit longer than the individual sessions. "We'll keep the freshmen for about 15 or 20 minutes while conditioning is going on with the veterans," Phillips said. "After the veterans have conditioned, we'll allow those guys to come over and help coach some of those young guys because there are so many of the young guys that we have to get ready. We'll change around some things that we feel like we've learned from practicing last year. There will be some things during the season that we'll change also that we feel will help better prepare this team. Every year there are different ways to prepare different teams."
- Asked what area of the team concerns him the most on paper, Phillips said the wide receiver position because of the lack of experience. UK loses its top two leading receivers in Randall Cobb and Chris Matthews. But Phillips does believe the position has a lot of potential and talent based on the young additions. "I'm really excited about what's walked through our door," Phillips said. "That's' the buzz around our office, our complex is about some of those young wide receivers. I say that to say this: Those young wide receivers are all truly wide receivers. They're not guys that we have to teach the position. We have to teach them plays." In the past, UK has taken players like Randall Cobb, a high school quarterback, and molded them into receivers.
- There's also inexperience at the running back position, but Phillips isn't all that concerned because of the number of veterans returning to one of the league's best offensive lines. "All our guys have to do is run to daylight," Phillips said. "I'm comfortable that we have enough quality backs that are upperclassmen. I'm also excited in the young freshman backs as well."
- As for the newcomers that Phillips has heard the most about, he mentioned wide receivers Daryl Collins and Demarco Robinson, running backs Marcus Caffey and Josh Clemons, and offensive lineman Darrian Miller.

Christopher Alexander (born October 4, 1936 in Vienna, Austria) is an architect noted for his theories about design, and for more than 200 building projects in California, Japan, Mexico and around the world. Reasoning that users know more about the buildings they need than any architect could, he produced and validated (in collaboration with Sarah Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein) a "pattern language" designed to empower any human being to design and build at any scale. Alexander was a licensed contractor and architect in England. In 1958 he moved to the United States, and has lived in Berkeley, California from 1963 until the present. He is professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley.
The Timeless Way of Building described the perfection of use to which buildings could aspire:
There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old, and the same today as it has ever been. The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way. It is not possible to make great buildings, or great towns, beautiful places, places where you feel yourself, places where you feel alive, except by following this way. And, as you will see, this way will lead anyone who looks for it to buildings which are themselves as ancient in their form, as the trees and hills, and as our faces are.
A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction described a practical architectural system in a form that a theoretical mathematician or computer scientist might call a generative grammar.
The work originated from an observation that many medieval cities are attractive and harmonious. The authors said that this occurs because they were built to local regulations that required specific features, but freed the architect to adapt them to particular situations.
The book provides rules and pictures, and leaves decisions to be taken from the precise environment of the project. It describes exact methods for constructing practical, safe and attractive designs at every scale, from entire regions, through cities, neighborhoods, gardens, buildings, rooms, built-in furniture, and fixtures down to the level of doorknobs.
A notable value is that the architectural system consists only of classic patterns tested in the real world and reviewed by multiple architects for beauty and practicality.
The book includes all needed surveying and structural calculations, and a novel simplified building system that copes with regional shortages of wood and steel, uses easily-stored inexpensive materials, and produces long-lasting classic buildings with small amounts of materials, design and labor. It first has users prototype a structure on-site in temporary materials. Once accepted, these are finished by filling them with very-low-density concrete. It uses vaulted construction to build as high as three stories, permitting very high densities.
This book's method was adopted by the University of Oregon, as described in The Oregon Experiment, and remains the official planning instrument. It has also been adopted in part by some cities as a building code.
The idea of a pattern language appears to apply to any complex engineering task, and has been applied to some of them. It has been especially influential in software engineering where patterns have been used to document collective knowledge in the field.
The Nature of Order: An Essay on the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe, which includes The Phenomenon of Life, The Process of Creating Life, A Vision of a Living World and The Luminous Ground, is Alexander's latest, and most comprehensive and elaborate work. In it, he puts forth a new theory about the nature of space and describes how this theory influences thinking about architecture, building, planning, and the way in which we view the world in general. The mostly static patterns from A Pattern Language have been amended by more dynamic sequences, which describe how to work towards patterns (which can roughly be seen as the end result of sequences). Sequences, like patterns, promise to be tools of wider scope than building (just as his theory of space goes beyond architecture).
Alexander's Notes on the Synthesis of Form was required reading for researchers in computer science throughout the 1960s. Marvin Minsky, founder of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab, recommended it to students and colleagues. It had an influence in the 1960s and 1970s on programming language design, modular programming, object-oriented programming, software engineering and other design methodologies. Alexander's mathematical concepts and orientation were similar to Edsger Dijkstra's influential A Discipline of Programming.
A Pattern Language's greatest influence in computer science is the design patterns movement. Alexander's philosophy of incremental, organic, coherent design influenced also the extreme programming movement. The Wiki was invented to allow the Hillside Group to work on design patterns.
Will Wright wrote that Alexander's work was influential in the origin of The Sims computer game, and in his current new work.
The fourth volume of The Nature of Order approaches religious questions from a scientific rather than mystical direction. In it, Alexander describes deep ties between the nature of matter, human perception of the universe, and the geometries people construct in buildings, cities, and artifacts, and he suggests a crucial link between traditional beliefs and recent scientific advances.

Exmore is a town in Northampton County on the Eastern Shore of the U.S. state of Virginia. The population was 1,136 at the 2000 census. A popular story is that Exmore received its name because it is the tenth railroad station south of the Delaware state line, so there were "X more" stations to go.[3] The same website also states another theory behind the town's name—that it was named for Exmoor in Devon, southwest England.
Benjamin's Department Store and John W. Chandler House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
Exmore is located at 37°31′59″N 75°49′28″W / 37.53306°N 75.82444°W (37.532930, -75.824474).[5]

Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.46% of the population.
There were 475 households out of which 27.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 42.1% were married couples living together, 21.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 33.1% were non-families. 28.4% of all households were made up of individuals and 15.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.39 and the average family size was 2.95.
In the town the population was spread out with 25.2% under the age of 18, 7.9% from 18 to 24, 24.6% from 25 to 44, 23.2% from 45 to 64, and 19.0% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females there were 88.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 77.1 males.

Your feet are supported by footrests. The health care provider gently inserts an instrument (speculum) into the vagina to hold it open so the provider can see inside. A sterile, moist cotton swab is gently inserted into the vagina to take a sample of discharge. The swab and speculum are removed.The discharge is sent to a lab. There, it is placed onto a slide. It is then viewed under a microscope and checked for signs of infection. How to Prepare for the Test In the two days before the test, do not use creams or other medicines in the vagina. Do not douche. (You should never douche. Douching can cause infection of the vagina or uterus.) How the Test will Feel There may be slight discomfort when the speculum is inserted into the vagina. Why the Test is Performed The test looks for the cause of vaginal irritation and discharge. Normal Results A normal test result means there are no signs of an infection.Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results. What Abnormal Results Mean Abnormal results mean there is an infection. The most common infections are due to one or a combination of the following:Bacterial vaginosis -- bacteria that normally live in the vagina overgrow, causing a heavy, white, fishy-smelling discharge and possibly a rash, painful intercourse, or odor after intercourse Trichomoniasis -- a sexually transmitted disease TrichomoniasisTrichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis.ImageRead Article Now Book Mark Article Vaginal yeast infectionVaginal yeast infectionVaginal yeast infection is an infection of the vagina.

The OMRI listed logo designates brand-name products and generic materials that are approved for use in organic farming and gardening.
Foods that bear the "USDA Organic" label have rightfully earned a reputation for being carefully monitored and reliable. Organic certifiers annually inspect each producer, auditing operating procedures and record keeping and ensuring that all standards set by the USDA's National Organic Program have been met. Producers of organic foods must retain detailed records showing that only approved fertilizers, soil amendments, and other inputs have been used on the land. But how does a farmer or certifier know which fertilizers and pesticides meet National Organic Program specifications? The answer is OMRI, the Organic Materials Review Institute.
OMRI existed before there was a federal government body to oversee organics, yet many consumers are unaware of this critical nonprofit organization. Unlike certifiers, OMRI focuses solely on agricultural inputs, which include such necessities as nonsynthetic fertilizers, soil amendments, and naturally derived pest-control products. Farmers, food processors, and certifiers rely on the OMRI Products List and OMRI Generic Materials List, databases of products and substances that are approved for use on certified-organic land. Savvy consumers are catching on, looking for the OMRI seal on the input products they use at home to keep their gardens truly organic.
OMRI began in 1997 as a partnership of certifiers who realized that one centralized list was the best way to keep track of products for organic use. As a first step, OMRI created a list of allowed and prohibited generic materials—potential ingredients in farming and livestock production, such as sphagnum peat moss and Epsom salts. The OMRI Generic Materials List enjoys worldwide circulation and use as a trusted index of materials for organics. OMRI then extended its reviews to brand-name products, resulting in the OMRI Products List. The two lists, available online and in print, are continually updated.
This label appears on foods and fibers that have been grown on certified-organic land, using organic inputs and processing facilities.
OMRI is the leading input reviewer in the United States, with 2,300 products and growing. This success can be attributed in part to high-quality, consistent professional reviews. With required testing for heavy metals, and lab results to support nutrient claims, OMRI always takes the most conservative stance in product decisions. OMRI's annual renewals and product change notifications also reduce fraud by verifying that each product formula remains compliant.
When an organic farmer wants to use a new product, his or her certifier can either review the product or accept the decision of an organization such as OMRI. Since products are always changing, certifiers who conduct their own reviews must often collect new information each time a grower wants to use it. This adds significant time and cost for both the certifier and the grower. It's easy to understand why OMRI Listed products are the preferred option for many farmers, processors, and certifiers.
The choice is more complicated for home gardeners. Certifiers don't inspect our yards for organic compliance, and it's easy to be confused and misled by product labels. Claims such as "organic" and "natural" on gardening products are, for the most part, not regulated. When a fertilizer package includes these words, it can simply mean that it contains carbon-based matter or some natural ingredients. It does not necessarily show that the product is free from toxic and persistent chemicals or that it is appropriate for an organic garden.
Whether you're a home gardener choosing organic, or a professional organic producer, remember that verified products for organic use will usually carry some sort of seal to support label claims. Be wary of misleading labels, and if you want to be sure a product is appropriate for organics, look for the OMRI seal. Before heading to the garden store, search the products and generic materials lists at omri.org, or download the products list, to help you find the right inputs for your organic garden.
Peggy Miars is the executive director and CEO of OMRI, the Organic Materials Review Institute.

HEMPSTEAD, NY - As I reported earlier, the topic of Operation Fast and Furious came up at tonight's presidential debate in New York. During Mitt Romney's remarks on the deadly subject, President Obama sat in the background where he smirked and at one point, laughed.
As you saw in the clip above, debate moderator Candy Crowley quickly changed the subject away from Operation Fast and Furious and when she was done speaking, President Obama failed to address the issue. After the debate in the media spin room, the Obama campaign wasn't interested in discussing the details either.
"As you know, there has been a very lengthy investigation about this, thousands of pages have been submitted and there haven't been any wrong doing found by the administration and if it came tonight he was happy to answer the question," Obama Campaign Press Secretary Jen Psaki told Townhall.
Fast and Furious has damaged the relationship between Mexico and the United States, not to mention, it's laughable to hear President Obama talk about gun control when his own Justice Department armed Mexican cartels with thousands of AK-47 style weapons.
"It's a vital issue. The President promised to run one of the most transparent and open administration in history. That's not the case in fact literally today the Justice Department filed suit trying to get out access to records thrown out of court. The President is so upside down on Fast and Furious. He's never directly addressed the question. He was asked specifically by Univision and he said he would get to the bottom of it but nobody has been held accountable and they haven't provided the documents to Congress," Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who sits on the House Oversight Committee, told Townhall. "I'm glad to see Mitt Romney mentioned it and actually talked about it in a proactive way as something that was wrong on every facet."

continued Sayward said she was pleased that someone stepped up to take on the challenge of renovating the building.
"This could have been lost very easily to our community," she said. "Without the vision of the school board at the time of the sale and the support of the community, this building would be just as it was, only worse."
The building was closed as a school in 2001, with its youngest students at the time of the closure now preparing to graduate as members of the Class of 2013 June 21. Present at the opening of the new Willsboro Central School was then Gov. George Pataki, who was also on hand for the re-opening of the former school site.
"I think that this is tremendous not just for Willsboro, but for Essex County and the North Country," Pataki said. "I would be in town with Libby and we would see the building and think that there has there has got to be some kind of creative reuse and now we have it and it is something that the community can be proud of as well as Eli."
Schwartzberg said that representatives at all levels of government played a key role in turning his plans into reality.
"When I needed help, these officials who represent this area were there for me," he said.
"This is just a really good use of a community resource," Congressman Bill Owens said. "It puts an asset back into the community and this is something that we need to do in lots of other communities."
"It is so exciting to see that this great school is now getting such great usage in a new life," state Sen. Betty Little said.
"The extra mile that Eli went to save the history and preserve the memories of the community is something that should be treasured and honored," Sayward said. "He could have gutted this building and done this in a much less expensive way, but he did not."

WHO WE AREErin Susin Owner, Instructor, Personal Trainer My focus on fitness started about 7 years ago. After having 4 children, fitness started as an outlet to relieve stress and make myself feel better. It took a few months of forcing me to get to the gym to do my classes, but once I felt the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle it became easy to do. I realized how much I felt better as a person. I began to love doing it and I noticed the positive reflection this had on my kids. I decided I wanted to share this feeling with as many as I could and make fitness my life. I have been a certified Fitness Instructor for the past 7 years, and am continually taking courses to upgrade and enhance my experience. I currently teach Spin, TRX, Bootcamp, Circuit Training, Cardio Boxing, Body Sculpt, Core, Tabata and a few other cardio and strength training classes. It was when I had many of my class participants ask me to train them individually that I decided to become a Certified Personal Trainer as well. With my experience of teaching and personal training I was given the opportunity to manage a gym. I spent a few wonderful years learning about the business part of running a fitness facility which in turn, gave me the knowledge to start my own. The "Do what you love and love what you do" motivation is what helped drive me to open Tone It Up Fitness. I want to spread the wealth of knowledge that I have accumulated over the years to help as many people as I can reach and exceed their fitness goals. Life is too short to not feel great.

Vitamin D and rotator cuff healing
March 7th, 2012
In a study published in the October 2010 issue of The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Ljiljana Bogunovic et al. present the results of a study in which they reviewed the vitamin-D levels of patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. The authors reviewed the charts of 723 patients scheduled for orthopaedic surgeries between January 2007 and March 2008. They wanted to determine how prevalent vitamin-D deficiency is among patients undergoing a wide variety of orthopaedic procedures.
Among all the patients in this study, 43% were found to have levels of vitamin D there were felt to be insufficient (or less than the value felt to represent normal values – 32 ng/mL). 40% of those were felt to be vitamin D-deficient, meaning they had levels less than 20 ng/mL. When the results were broken down by age, the results were somewhat surprising. Patients between the ages of 51 and 70 were noted to be 35% less at risk for having low vitamin-D levels compared to patients between the ages of 18 and 50. African-Americans and Hispanic patients were more likely to have a low vitamin-D level compared to Caucasians and Asians. Obese patients were twice as likely to have low vitamin-D levels compared to non-obese patients.
An internal medicine physician had cleared all patients in the study for surgery. Since patients with medical conditions that prevented them from having surgery were not included, the results seen here represented seemingly healthy patients. This is concerning for those of us who perform rotator cuff surgery quite commonly in the 51-70 age range. High failure rates of spinal fusion surgery have been reported in this age group due to failure at the bone-implant junction. One area of concern for us who do arthroscopic repairs with anchors is the quality of bone. Failure at the bone-implant junction may be one reason for recurrent tears!
data supports that Vitamin D deficiency may also have an adverse effect on soft tissue quality! So failure may occur here as well due to pull out of sutures! This is a concerning problem for rotator cuff surgery in the 51-70 year old age group. Thus far there are NO studies that have accurately addressed this potential, but it does make me take pause...
. It may be time to add a DEXA scan and Vitamin D level analysis in this group before we perform surgery!

I know the weight is more than the drz but offroading it ????
cruising / Highway speeds the shop say 80mph is a good speed for the tenere ???
what proper offroad tryes are you guys using I know the choice is a bit limited with the 17" rear wheel I used TKC80s on my last 660r which were ok is there anything better????
Thanks for the advise guys
I've used mine for a fair bit of greenlaning, I'd say it's up to the job.
I had an early DRZ400S and reckon the Tenere's suspension is way better not to mention the comfort but the Suzuki had better build quality and finish.I've ridden 350 mile trips no problem, that's Kent to Suffolk/Norfolk for a days greenlaning on the fast,open,sandy trails up there.It is never going to match the other bikes in my pic below but I wasn't far behind.
Fit a 14T front sprocket and maybe a 46T rear as well ,the chain length won't allow any bigger on the rear.
Pirelli Mt21 rear lasts about 1000-1500miles, front over 4000.Mitas CO2 are available in 17 inch not tried one yet though they look like they'd be good if there is enough clearance around the swingarm.
Chain and sprockets lasted 6000miles, rear brake pads 5500.
Cush drive knackered by 2000-2500miles.
There is no chain guide so you hear a lot of chain slap on rough ground.
The FI is spot on the only downside is the tickover is set at about 1500rpm so no engine braking on steep decents, you need to hold it back on the brakes which are rather good without being too grabby offroad.
80mph cruising is fine.......... nearer 90mph is more comfortable for me and it feels really planted,you don't flap around like a dying swan across all 3 lanes. I've fitted a larger Metal Mule screen but a placcy extension gaffer-taped to the screen works just as well if your M-way trips are rare.

Granite Mountain widow fights with Prescott for benefits
PRESCOTT, Ariz. -- Some of the firefighters killed in the Yarnell Hill Fire were only seasonal Prescott city employees so their families don't qualify for full survivors' benefits, which has pushed some family members to go public with the dispute.
They have a legislative leader on their side. House Speaker Andy Tobin said he's drafting retroactive legislation to provide regular benefits to any responder who dies on state lands, such as where the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots died on June 30.
The Daily Courier reported the new legislation would qualify the survivors of the 13 deceased Hotshots for benefits such as health care.
At a press conference Wednesday morning, Juliann Ashcraft, the widow of hotshot member Andrew Ashcraft, displayed flashes of anger, disappointment, sadness and puzzlement at the situation.
"(Andrew) was a full-time employee. He worked full-time hours. He had a full-time responsibility. He had a full-time salary," she said. "There is no way that I can fathom how the city is justifying him as seasonal or part-time."
"I've been shocked at how the city officials have treated my family ... and saddened that it's gone throughout the other 19 as well.
"It's sad that I have to even stand here today and fight for what my husband already earned. ... It is a terrible tragedy and the bigger tragedy is in the fact that the people that can make it right aren't making it right."
She also praised Amanda Marsh, widow of crew leader Eric Marsh, for speaking up at a city council study session, which is focused on one topic. The topic of Tuesday's session was the replacement of the Granite Mountain Hotshots.
No formal actions are taken during a workshop or study session, which are open to the public.
Another bill planned by Tobin would have the state cover the costs of the death-related retirement benefits provided by Prescott.
Tobin said the seasonal firefighters' deaths are a wake-up call because use of seasonal and part-time employees is increasingly common.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

THE founding myth of the dominant nations is that they achieved their industrial and technological superiority through free trade. Nations that are poor today are told that if they want to follow our path to riches they must open their economies to foreign competition. They are being conned.
Almost every rich nation has industrialised with the help of one of two mechanisms now prohibited by the rules of global trade. The first is "infant industry protection": defending new industries from foreign competition until they are big enough to compete on equal terms. The second is the theft of intellectual property. History suggests that technological development may be impossible without one or both.
Britain's industrial revolution was founded on the textile industry. This was nurtured and promoted by means of ruthless government intervention. As the development economist Ha-Joon Chang at the University of Cambridge has documented, from the 14th century onwards, ...

It's a Friday afternoon at the studio of Radio Kwizera FM in the rural district of Kasulu, Tanzania. Sixteen year olds Letsia and Ringaniza put on their headphones as they get ready for their weekly show. The top story of the day: teenage schoolgirls who get impregnated by teachers.
Radio Kwizera offers the opportunity for young people to discuss topics that concern, excite or simply interest them. For this edition of their show, entitled 'The Voice of the Child Be Heard', the girls decide, it is time to speak out about a sensitive topic that affects peers in their community and classrooms
As Letsia ensures the microphone is at the right distance from her co-host's face, she takes off with the interview. "Now, Ringaniza, today's theme deals with teenage pregnancies. What do you know about this?"
"What I can say," Ringaniza replies, "is that most of these pregnancies are caused by teachers. You find teachers in our school who start befriending students and give them special treatment once they come of age. The students fall into this trap and start enjoying the preferential treatment. The teacher, having established this, then starts asking for sexual favours and offers the student to help her pass her exams. The student is promised help to get good grades that will secure her a position in good high schools. The student then gives in to the teachers' demands and ends up pregnant."
"Indeed true"
Marko Dionis Kumudyanko, a 30-year-old teacher at a secondary school in Kasulu, can confirm what Letsia and Ringaniza are talking about: transactional sex.
"It is indeed true that we have some teachers around who develop sexual relationships with female students," he says. "Some will, for example, give the girls bus fares, breakfast money, gifts or other special treatments." According to Kumudyanko, the favours can mislead students - especially those who live in poverty - into thinking that sexual transactions have the potential to improve their educational or economic situation.
Yet Kumudyanko believes that teachers are responsible for only a small proportion of all teenage pregnancies. He points out that peers and even adults outside the classroom, such as businessmen who proposition schoolgirls they encounter on the street, can also be held accountable.
Regardless, for those who end up pregnant, life often only gets harder. "After falling pregnant," Kumudyanko says, "government schools do not allow them to re-enrol."
"Someone to love"
Once a Kasulu high school student herself, JN elaborates on the social stigma that young women in her situation face. "At school, they expelled me when they found out I was pregnant. At home, they blamed me for the shame it brought upon our family," she says.
Describing how the situation began to unfold, JN recalls: "I was 18 years old and attending my final year in secondary school. My favourite subject was chemistry, so I asked my chemistry teacher for extra lessons. He convinced me to start a love affair with him and provided me with pocket money, clothes, school fees, and kept giving me extra chemistry lessons."
Today JN stresses the need for contraception and more openness. "We need guidance from parents," she says, "because many of us teenagers like having someone to love - this makes us vulnerable."
"Stiff penalties"
According to UNICEEF, over 40 per cent of Tanzanian women begin bearing children by age 18. That makes Tanzania a country with one of the highest adolescent pregnancy rates in the world.
Meanwhile, from Radio Kwizezra's studio, Ringaniza's own ideas on tackling the problem of transactional sex are being broadcast throughout the province of Kigoma.
"When a teacher starts engaging in sexual talk with a student, the student should report the teacher to the head teacher, who should, in turn, report the teacher to the relevant authorities," says Ringaniza. "Also, very stiff penalties should be given to such teachers prying on their students so that others may fear engaging in this vice."

This Cherokee Flexibles mock wrap scrub top features flattering and comfortable contrast knit side panels and two front patch pockets. An empire waist updates this style. The fabric is Cherokee's popular polyester/cotton blend with soil release. The panels are polyester with a bit of spandex.
Love it. It fits and feels great and is a good color for me
I like the Cherokee Flexibles scrubs. They are very comfortable and I finally feel like my scrubs fit me, as most run too big and baggy. They do run a little small, so customers should take that into account.I would definitely buy them again.
I love the style of this top! The elastic under the breast is nice to help keep it in place. The side panels are nice and stretchy; great for moving around it comfortably. I will be getting this one in several colors soon!!
I ordered this and another women's top that looked fitted in the hopes that I wouldn't look like a shapeless balloon like so many others, but although the top is very cute, professional, and made of nice material, it made me look pregnant. I think most of these are made for people without a waist, but being 36-27-36, my bust and hips are comfortable but the waist is HUGE, 9 inches too large as the whole thing is 36 inches around. Good thing I can tailor, because I took in 4 inches on each side (8 inches total) where the stretchy material was, in a nice gently tapered seam, and now it looks fabulous. It's not tight but instead of looking pregnant I look like my normal hourglass self. I wish there were more scrubs fitted to a curvy woman's body, but oh well, learn to sew.

OMG! There's a feast of fests over the weekend
By Joey Guerra | April 17, 2013
Photo By Cody Duty/StaffPayton Rae is poses for a portrait Friday, May 20, 2011, in Houston. The 15-year old Houston-based country singer already has a bigger presence online - and across the globe - than some country artists that have recently topped this iTunes chart. Her first ever EP, DARE TO LIVE, charted as high as #4 on the iTunes country chart. With more than 52,000 followers on Twitter, 16,000 "likes" on Facebook and nearly 2.6 million YouTube views at her dedicated channel (over six million combined views) ( Cody Duty / Houston Chronicle )

April usually belongs to the Houston International Festival. The 43rd annual event takes over downtown Houston this weekend with music from all over the world.
But a pair of competing events are looking to steal some of that shine. The annual BuzzFest and the inaugural OMG Music Fest boast packed lineups targeting wildly different audiences. (There probably won't be much crossover.)
BuzzFest 30 features two stages of rock-radio heavyweights, including Shinedown, Bush, Stone Sour, Papa Roach and P.O.D. It's a lineup that could have easily worked 10 years ago, too.
After a decade-long absence, Gavin Rossdale's emotive outfit returned in 2011 with "The Sea of Memories." And Papa Roach, like the insect it evokes, never seems to go away. Always lurking somewhere in the dark.
My last BuzzFest experience included pockets of the raucous crowd throwing chairs, trash and blankets all over the venue. No worries, though: The Woodlands security has since tightened things up.
The OMG Music Fest is a decidedly poppier affair, stacked with young acts that have built followings via YouTube and TV singing competitions. Among them is Houston girl Payton Rae, who has more than 85,000 Facebook fans, almost 160,000 Twitter followers and more than 7 million YouTube views. (Almost half of those hits are for her original song "Not Your Cinderella.") Rae's debut EP, "Dare to Live," reached No. 4 on the iTunes country chart.
Also on the OMG lineup is local singer Arabella Jones, rapidly building her own following via viral videos and live shows; Irving teen Brandon Hassan, who was seen on "The X Factor"; and Eben Franckewitz, who made the top 24 during Season 11 of "American Idol."

The instructions on how to prepare a new General Motors car for winter are pretty straightforward.
Although they recommend taking the vehicle to an authorized GM mechanic to ensure that the wipers, blades, battery, belts and tires are all in good condition, there are only two crucial concerns mentioned: Make sure the recommended amount of antifreeze is in the radiator and that winter windshield wiper fluid has been installed.
If only it could be so easy to winterize a truckmount extractor.
Although the consequences for improperly preparing an automobile and a truckmount for winter are similar — potential risks and serious damage to the motor, pumps, valves, hoses, and just about all engine components, to name just a few — getting a truckmount ready for the colder months is more involved.
And there are usually far-reaching consequences for carpet cleaning technicians who depend on their truckmount in their work: Loss of the machine due to freezing temperatures means no money until repairs are made.
Prepping the machine for winter
Although each truckmount manufacturer will have specific recommendations for their equipment, the following are general steps that will likely apply to many, thought not necessarily all, truckmount machines:
Get familiar with requirements. Long before cold weather arrives, carpet cleaning technicians should be fully aware of what steps they should take to properly winterize their equipment.
Sometimes serious and costly problems may arise if winterizing steps are at the last minute, just hours before a blast of winter arrives.
Select the proper antifreeze. Before discussing how much antifreeze to use for winterizing the machine, it is necessary to discuss what kind of antifreeze to use. The major differences among the various brands are the "corrosion inhibitors." Some brands of antifreeze are formulated with very high-quality inhibitors to provide the needed level and types of protection for the truckmount and its components. In contrast, a lesser-quality brand may not contain the additives and corrosion inhibitors to thoroughly and properly protect the extractor. Many manufacturers recommend and install 100 percent glycol-based antifreeze and will likely recommend the continued use of this type of antifreeze for the machine.
Drain any mix tanks, water boxes or containers your truckmount may have. Some machines will have a drain valve to release antifreeze; others will require the pump to be on and water to be released out of the wand. Some machines will automatically switch off when water is drained; others must be manually turned off. It should also be noted that antifreeze can be toxic, and most communities have regulations on how it is to be disposed.
Fill with antifreeze, in the amounts recommended by the manufacturer.
With some manufacturers, this may be 100 percent antifreeze, not diluted with water. With other machines, it may be a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water.
Either turn the ignition key on or start your machine, depending on the procedure necessary to circulate the antifreeze through the machine.
The antifreeze must be moved through the entire system and be completely circulated, as this will allow it to protect all components that are affected by water.
Be prepared
Carpet cleaning technicians should carry antifreeze with them during the winter months, in case more must be added.
Wands and hoses should be stowed indoors when not in use; this also applies to virtually all tools and chemicals.
If at all possible, when not in use, the truck or van should be stored in a garage.
Winterizing vehicle-powered units
There are two basic types of truckmount systems:
Slide-in systems are powered by their own engines and are bolted into a van or truck.
Vehicle-powered or clutch drive truckmount systems (CDS) use the truck''s or van''s motor to power the extractor.
Most of the suggestions and steps already discussed apply to slide-in systems that have their own motors and pumps.
Vehicle-powered or clutch drive systems do not have their own motors so, for the most part, their winterizing concerns are tied to properly winterizing the host vehicle.
A ''do-it-yourself'' job?
Most manufacturers will provide detailed instructions on how to winterize their equipment.
However, just as with the GM car mentioned earlier, some truckmount manufacturers recommend that their machines be winterized at an authorized service center.
For those technicians who lack the time or mechanical expertise or who are just concerned that the winterization process be done correctly, taking the equipment to a service center may be the best option.
The most important thing is to simply be aware that there are specific steps that must be taken to keep the equipment running properly throughout the winter and up and ready when warmer weather returns.
Dennis Russell has 10 years of experience in the industry and currently handles technical support issues for HydraMaster, assisting carpet cleaners with truckmount maintenance issues.
