I started a new job September 4 which I really like! I know I don't qualify for FMLA so I was wondering if they are still required to hold my job for me while on maternity leave? I am due sometime around the end of June and would also like some input on whether waiting to tell them I am pregnant is the right thing to do. Currently I am still on probation until December 9 which is also about the end of my first trimester and when I was planning on letting them know. Do you think it is wrong to not let them know during my probation period? Thanks for any input!
Question? Started a new job in September and found out I was pregnant this week
Thanks! Thats what I thought. This was definately an oops not a planned pregnancy but we wanted another one so I'm just going with it. I also feel like I work for a good company but I am also carrying the insurance through them so just hoping for the best! Thanks for sharing! I know I just need to chill out but its hard not to worry!
I started September 26 and got my BFP on October 13. I had to tell my job, but they've been supportive so far. I've been worried sick about whether they'll even keep me past my 3 month probation period and use another excuse to let me go. I am not 100% sure whether I want to return to work right away after having baby, so I will worry about that part when the time comes. I guess all we can do is wait and see!

I'm in HR. Let me lend you my knowledge.
You do not qualify for FMLA. You must be employed for 12 mos AND work a minimum number of hours to qualify (AND work for an employer with 50+ employees).
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act does allow you some protection.

Thanks for all the info! I am probably just going to tell them after my first doctors appointment maybe sooner! It has just been stressful trying to decide what the right thing to do is but I think everyone just has to do what they feel is best.

|Andrew Luck: Deflategate controversy 'blown out of proportion'
|01.22.15 at 12:55 am ET
On Wednesday, Andrew Luck shrugged off the Deflategate controversy, saying that "things in the media tend to be blown out of proportion."
Speaking at the Pro Bowl draft, the Colts quarterback appeared to dismiss the uproar of underinflated footballs that were reportedly used by the Patriots in the AFC title game last Sunday in Foxboro.
"Everybody has a preference and our equipment managers sort of handle our footballs in a sense," Luck told reporters. "I get them as they are, I guess."
When it came to how he felt about preparing for the Pro Bowl instead of the Super Bowl, Luck appeared to fire off a good Deflategate one-liner, even if it reporters who were present believed it might have been inadvertent.
"The energy is sucked out of you. You feel deflated," he said before perhaps realizing his gaffe, smiling, and adding, "Aww, shoot" with a sheepish laugh.

|Andrew Luck had 'long day' in worst statistical game of NFL career
|01.19.15 at 1:29 pm ET
FOXBORO — While Andrew Luck has proven he is one of the best young quarterbacks in the league, Sunday's AFC championship proved Luck is not ready for the big stage just yet.
Luck has his worst statistical game of his career Sunday in the Colts' 45-7 loss to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
The 25-year-old was 12-for-33 passing for 126 yards with two interceptions and a quarterback rating of 23. The quarterback rating was by far the worst in his three-year career, as his previous low was Dec. 21 of this year in a 42-7 loss to the Cowboys, where he had a rating of 41.7.
His 36.4 completion percentage was also the worst of his career, and his 126 passing yards were second-fewest, only to the Dec. 21 game against the Cowboys.
"Long day, they obviously outplayed us and deserve to move on," Luck said afterwards.
Luck and the Colts have struggled in his four games against the Patriots. He is 0-4, including two playoff losses, and has been outscored 189-73 in those games. Luck and the Colts have also struggled away from home against good teams. Over the last three seasons in games on the road against teams finishing .500 or better, the Colts are 2-12 and have been outscored 486-265.
The Patriots defense wasn't necessarily surprised with the outcome Sunday night.
"Not at all," linebacker Dont'a Hightower said. "They're a great team, but we are a good team as well. We had a great game plan, we came out and we executed. I mean there were a couple of plays that we obviously wanted back, but I think we played really good out there."
A major part in the Patriots' success was their ability to take away Luck's receivers and the passing game. T.Y. Hilton finished with just one catch for 36 yards — a spectacular catch on the sidelines — and Reggie Wayne was not even targeted. Hilton was the leading receiver with tight end Coby Fleener being the next closest with three catches for 30 yards. Hilton finished the regular season with the sixth-most receiving yards in the NFL — 1,345.
|Andrew Luck, Colts will have to overcome past trends to upset Patriots in AFC championship
|01.18.15 at 7:00 am ET
Andrew Luck is one of the best up-and-coming young quarterbacks in the NFL. After being drafted No. 1 overall in the 2012 draft, Luck as been as advertised, throwing for 12,957 yards and 86 touchdowns in his three seasons in the league.
But, Sunday will be his first AFC championship game appearance, and the game will be outside at Gillette Stadium — away from his home indoor confines of Lucas Oil Stadium — which may be an issue for Luck and the Colts team come Sunday night.
In Luck's three years (including five postseason games) he is 680-for-1148 passing, with 62 touchdowns and 28 interceptions in games played indoors, with a 24-8 record. This compared to games outdoors, where he is 503-for-838 passing with 33 touchdowns and 25 interceptions, with a 12-9 record.
The biggest thing that stands out is his touchdown-to-interception ratio indoors compared to outdoors. He has a 2.21 touchdown-to-interception ratio at home, but in games outdoors that number goes down to 1.18.
Turning the ball over, which Luck does a great deal of (16 interceptions this year, 43 for his career), could come back to hurt the Colts on Sunday night. The Patriots finished the regular-season tied for second in the NFL in turnover differential at plus-12, including 25 takeaways. They also finished with 13 giveaways, tied for the fewest in the league.
Indianapolis turned the ball over 31 times as a team, which tied for the third-most in the NFL. The Colts cannot afford to turn the ball over against the Patriots.
In 18 games this year, the Colts won the turnover battle only five times and in the postseason since 1970, the Patriots are 18-1 when winning turnover battle.
Since Luck came into the league, the Colts as a team have not done well away from Lucas Oil Stadium when playing against good teams. In the last three seasons (including the playoffs), on the road against teams that finished the season with records .500 or better, the Colts had a record of just 2-11, which includes last week's win in Denver.
In 10 of those 13 games, the Colts have allowed 24 points or more, and in seven of those 13 games they allowed a remarkable 40 points or more. In those 13 games they have been outscored 441-258.
This also plays into the Patriots' hands as they are a perfect 11-0 this season when scoring 23 points or more, and in the Bill Belichick era (since 2000) including the postseason, when scoring 23 points or more they are 158-12.
Lastly, knowing this is Luck's first AFC championship game, Belichick is 3-0 in AFC title games against quarterbacks playing in their first AFC championship game.
|Most memorable Patriots-Colts games of Tom Brady era
|01.17.15 at 3:10 pm ET
On Sunday evening, the Patriots will face the Colts in the AFC championship game. These teams are quite familiar with one another, and though the intensity of the rivalry may have waned when Peyton Manning played his final game for Indianapolis in the 2010 season, the game should prove to be an exciting one. Since 2001, when Tom Brady made his first start against Manning, the Patriots have edged the Colts in 12 of 17 meetings, outscoring them 545-401 in that time.
Brady guided the Patriots to wins against the Colts in his first six tries, but Manning followed that up with a little streak of his own, recording four victories in the next five meetings. During his last start as a Colt, Manning lost to the Pats and helped spawn a five-game New England win streak that stretches back to 2010 and is still alive. In the three games Brady and newcomer Andrew Luck have squared off, the Patriots have not scored fewer than 40 points.
In the teams' matchup this season on Nov. 16, little-known running back Jonas Gray was the star. After noticing that using Gray in the run against Indianapolis proved just about unstoppable, the Patriots did it all game. All four of Gray's touchdowns came from inside the 4-yard line, but he compiled 201 total yards throughout the course of the game on 37 attempts. Rob Gronkowski and Tim Wright each added a receiving touchdown and the Patriots recorded 503 total yards in the 42-20 victory.
Here are the most memorable games between the teams since Brady took over.
10. Nov. 18, 2012: Patriots 59, Colts 24
Andrew Luck's first tilt against the Patriots could have probably gone better. The rookie quarterback had led his team to a 7-3 start to the season, but New England proved to be too much for him to handle. The Colts jumped out to a 14-7 lead in the first quarter, but from then on, New England took over. The Pats held Indianapolis to 10 points over the remaining three quarters while they put 52 more points on the board. The 59 points tied a franchise single-game scoring record.
Tom Brady was 24-for-35 for 331 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while Luck had 27 completions in 50 attempts, 334 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions — two of which were returned for touchdowns — and a sack.
Julian Edelman and Gronkowski each recorded a pair of touchdowns, including Edelman's 68-yard punt return. Brady found both Gronkowski and Wes Welker seven times for 137 yards and 80 yards, respectively.
9. Nov. 7, 2005: Colts 40, Patriots 21
After six losses to Brady, Manning finally got his first win against him in 2005. Injuries to important players on the Patriots as well as a perfect Colts team that was only getting better spelled an unfortunate outcome for the back-to-back Super Bowl champs.
Manning finished 28-for-37 for 321 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne each had nine receptions for the Colts for 128 yards and 124 yards, respectively, combining for three touchdowns. The Patriots also allowed 132 rushing yards and surrendered two touchdowns to the run game, giving Indianapolis 453 total yards.
|Adam Schefter on MFB: 'At some point, [Andrew Luck's] going to go through that glass ceiling'
|01.16.15 at 1:51 pm ET
ESPN's Adam Schefter made his weekly appearance on Middays with MFB on Friday to talk about the AFC championship game Sunday as well as other news around the NFL. To hear the interview, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
Last week, Schefter made the prediction that the Patriots would end Baltimore's season handily. And while the Ravens are not taking part in the conference championship, New England certainly struggled in keeping them from moving on.
"When they fell down 14-0 and then 28-14, I thought to myself, this is exactly the type of situation that this team typically has not responded very well to," Schefter said. "This is not the team, the Baltimore Ravens, that you want to fall behind 14 points against. And I thought to myself, this is a recipe for disaster, and the fact that they were able to overcome that is a tribute to those guys. Unlikely, improbably, and impressive, all at once."
This week, his prediction isn't as confident, and it's because of a certain young quarterback.
"What concerns me, and what would concern me if I were a Patriot fan would be that Andrew Luck, at some point, is going to have one of these signature games that elevates him," he said. "He's already there, we know he's the best young quarterback in football, though some might say it's Russell Wilson, but he's going to have one of these signature games that elevates him from being talked about as one of the best quarterbacks in the game to just putting him into that elite category for good going forward."
Beating an elite quarterback like Peyton Manning in his own barn last Sunday could have constituted as Luck's breakthrough game, but not for Schefter. Denver's struggles throughout the game did not lend themselves to that particular narrative for him. Instead, he's looking to this week as a potential jumping-off point for Luck's entry into the upper echelon of quarterbacks.
"Luck plays so well, plays one of these games where he's out of his head and just raises the level of performance of his whole team to where he can carry them and will them to victory, and he's good enough to do it," Schefter said.
And Schefter noted that the New England defense is due for a good game, what with the trouble it had against Baltimore, but it's only a matter of time before Luck breaks through, and that makes him nervous.
"[The Colts have] been trending in the right way, they've been getting better, they've been building," he said. "At some point, [Luck's] going to go through that glass ceiling, and that's it. He's going to be part of the elite quarterback conversation for good going forward."
|Fantasy Football: Championship round daily leagues
|at 10:30 am ET
I hope some of you had success with last week's DraftKings lineups. I know I did and I stuck pretty closely to last week's recommendations. This week is an even tougher week for getting original lineups because the choices are so incredibly limited with only two games from which to choose talent.
As usual, I'll do my best to explain my thought process as I construct my weekly lineup, and I'll have a completed roster by the time we're done. If you are looking for more information on players not listed in this space, head over to Rotobahn this afternoon. I'll have my full lineup rankings posted by then.
Last week, I was pretty clear about which quarterbacks I wanted you to play. As it turned out I was right, but I also was wrong. That's because all of the quarterbacks stepped up and posted significant numbers. Even those who chose Peyton Manning had a chance if they played the other positions well enough.
This week is a little different. With the exception of Aaron Rodgers, I like all the options at quarterback, and even Rodgers has some merit — particularly if you want a contrarian move to differentiate your lineup a bit.
One thing that could end being a plus for Rodgers is the weather. While it's potentially going to be wet in both Foxboro and in Seattle, it is not expected to be very cold, and that is a plus for a guy who is playing with a significant muscle pull in his calf. Rodgers may be able to get loose this week. We'll see. Having said all that, my personal choice for quarterback is the same as last week: Tom Brady.
I'm going with Brady because I think he matches up well against the Colts, who don't do the things that you need to do to knock Brady off of his game. I know people will be talking about the running game and how badly the Patriots have gashed the Colts in recent games. I am seeing things differently. The two reasons for this are as follows. Yes, the Patriots ran all over the Colts earlier this season, but they also demolished them from head to toe. I also think you need to consider that last year's playoff game was a very different matchup. In 2014, the Patriots were a different offense. There was some concern about a shootout with the Colts. I don't think those same concerns hold true with the 2014 Patriots — who probably would win a shootout with Indianapolis, and by a solid margin.
Chuck Pagano is a good coach, and I think the Colts will be ready for the ground game this week. At least they'll be more ready than they were back in Week 11. I also think Belichick will be more aggressive with his passing game — because he can be, for two reasons. First, he has a defense than can make stops. Second, he has an offense with a healthy Rob Gronkowski. To me, for the Patriots to slow this game down is to play into Indianapolis' hands. As the clearly better team, the Patriots should not be looking to shorten the game by simply possessing the ball.
For these reasons, I am liking Tom Brady at 8,500 units. Here are the four quarterbacks, just so you know the relative costs.
Tom Brady – 8,500
Andrew Luck – 8,200
Russell Wilson – 8,000
Aaron Rodgers – 7,800
As I said earlier, you can do well with any of these passers, but I'm going with Brady. My concern with Rodgers is the injury. My worry with Wilson, and it's a minor one, also is Rodgers' injury. If Seattle can knock out Rodgers, which is far more likely than normal, the game essentially will be over and Wilson could have a light day as a winner because they won't have him running if the game is in the bag.
As for Luck, he'll produce, but I worry about what New England can take away from him. I have a feeling that we may see more zone and combo coverage from the Patriots than folks anticipate — their primary goal being to take T.Y. Hilton off the board to some extent and to force Luck to beat them with his secondary weapons.
NBC Sports NFL analyst Rodney Harrison made his weekly appearance on the Dennis & Callahan show Friday morning to share his insight about Sunday's AFC championship game between the Patriots and the Colts. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
For those who breathed a sigh of relief when Andrew Luck and the Colts eliminated Peyton Manning and the Broncos on Sunday, Harrison would like you to slow your roll. Anything can happen in big games like this one, and with a guy like Luck at the helm of an Indianapolis team with many offensive weapons to choose from, what took place during the regular season is not guaranteed to repeat itself.
The Pats and the Colts met up in November, and New England did a good job of convincing folks that they should be the favorites going into this weekend, compiling 503 total yards and six touchdowns in a 42-20 win. But Harrison noted that he's seen everything in this league, and if a team is coming off a big win against a good team like the Broncos, it's more than capable of getting a groove going against New England.
"Sometimes it doesn't matter what happened in the regular season," Harrison said. "Sometimes you find a zone, you get comfortable, and you feel like you play with a lot of confidence, and this team is playing with a lot of confidence.
"They're feeling like, these secondary guys, 'If we can shut down Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, and Wes Welker and all those guys, then we can come in here and match up with these guys.' "
Harrison said that the Colts team taking the field on Sunday is not necessarily the same one that the Patriots steamrolled in November. It's a better team now, and Harrison pointed out that the Patriots shouldn't look back at their previous games against the Colts to figure out how to beat them, but rather they should look at how Indy played Denver last week.
The inconsistencies that plagued Indianapolis from September to December do not define the team that eliminated Denver and has set up shop in Foxboro this week.
"If I'm the Patriots, I don't look at the first game and say, 'This is how they're going to play.' " he said. "I look at last week against Denver, and they came out, they gave Andrew Luck protection, that offensive line played a lot better, and Andy Luck, if you give him time, he could pick you apart.
"This is a big-play offense," he continued. "They're going to continue to do what they've done all season, they're going to try to throw the ball down the field. … I do believe that they're going just to continue with their philosophy."

Terrorist attacks shaped military membership
Sept. 11 attacks inspired men and women across the country to enlist in the military
CORPUS CHRISTI - For them, the tragic moment was a momentous call to duty.
The Sept. 11 attacks inspired men and women across the country to enlist in the military. Many of them went on to fight in operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Anthony Diaz, 29, a student at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, was a college sophomore 10 years ago.
Although in 2001 he planned to finish school, he couldn't stifle the nagging feeling that he should help his country.
"For the most part, everybody (who joined then) had the small voice in the back of their head saying, 'This was on American soil. If I'm willing and I'm healthy enough, I need to do my part,'" Diaz said. "We have to show everyone else what America is."
Diaz waited until his father, a veteran who was deployed to Afghanistan within 48 hours of the attacks, returned. It was 2004 by the time he joined the U.S. Marine Corps, and he later was deployed to Iraq.
He said most people he met in the Marines joined in part because of Sept. 11.
"There was nothing in the air saying we were going to be at war. It just happened," he said. "I don't think I would have joined otherwise. I was going to finish school. I was going to get a job like a normal person."
The military doesn't keep statistics tracking what motivates people to sign up for service.
But Army Capt. Peter Grasser said he knows the attacks sparked patriotism and enlistment.
Grasser, now a recruiter for the district that includes Corpus Christi, was a drill sergeant 10 years ago.
"We saw a big influx. We had old-timers from World War II and Vietnam calling us, asking if they could help," he said. "Now we still have people joining. We stay busy. They still have their patriotism, but a lot of why they join is about the economy now."
New Army recruits in Corpus Christi receive a letter from Mayor Joe Adame, thanking them for their service, Grasser said.
Adame never served in the military, but he said he wants to do all he can to thank people who serve.
"I see these kids in the airport and how they commit their lives to their country," he said. "We have to do anything we can we see them to hug them or tell them we appreciate them. That one moment can make a difference."
Brent Gallagan, who grew up in Corpus Christi, was a freshman at a college a short drive away from New York City at the time of the attacks. The memory was part of what motivated him to join the Navy after school.
"If there is an organization like al-Qaida that exists today, it's a necessity for us to go out and protect our homeland, especially when they're striking on our own land," he said.
Gallagan became a Naval aviator and served in Iraq.
Now, he looks at Sept. 11 as the moment the country united.
"It was a cornerstone of opportunity for America to come together," he said. "We were all on the same page. There is a common ground Americans can relate to, and that's freedom. Sept. 11 was the test of our freedom."

Window frame or storm window drainage & weep hole requirements:
Storm windows, particularly metal-framed storms and screens are secured to a window opening outdoors using screws through a metal flange.
Many installers and homeowners proceed to make their storm windows as air-tight as possible - which makes sense. But if the weep openings at the bottom storm window flange are sealed by caulk, sealant, or just junk and debris you're asking for trouble.
This article series explains why weep holes or drainage are needed in storm windows and in some site-built fixed glazed windows.

Guide to Weep Holes in Windows, Storm Windows, Window Frames
Question: Why do we need those open air weep holes in storm windows?
One thing that seems bizarre to me is status/need for open air weep holes.
Would think they'd reduce air sealing quite a bit. Am surprised no one uses a semi-permeable membrane covering larger weep holes. - G.K., New York
Reply: To avoid rotted window sills, walls, insects, mold
Storm windows are additional windows, fixed or operable, that are hung or installed over the main window sash to reduce heat loss through the window.
A "triple-track" storm window incorporates a movable screen and upper and lower widow sashes. Each layer of glazing added to a window cuts heat loss through the window glass by about one third, but if the window is drafty any energy savings will be lost until the drafts are found and sealed.
All factory-built storm window frames will include some sort of weep opening to make certain that any water entering the space between window sash and storm sash can drain safely to the building exterior.
But unfortunately folks who don't recognize what these openings are, or even that they are present, often seal them with caulk. The ultimate result is window sill rot and in severe cases wall rot, insect damage, and mold contamination of the wall cavity below.
At WINDOW / DOOR ENERGY EFFICIENT, DOE we read:
Our OPINION is that the energy lost through two tiny weep holes in a storm window bottom frame is trivial compared with the energy savings from adding this additional layer of glazing and stopping outdoor air from blowing across the primary window sash glass.
And we're afraid that the permeable membrane you suggest won't adequately pass the large volume of water that is often found in the space between main sash and storm window bottom frame.
How Water Gets Between the Window Sash and Storm Window
So where does this must-drain water between storm window and principal window sash come from?
[Click to enlarge any image]
The outermost storm window is the one that should be in the fully "up" position, and the innermost storm window (innermost means towards the building interior) should be the one left in the "down" position when the storm window is closed. If you do this backwards rain will run down the sash in the upper position and pass onto the inside surface of the lower storm sash, making another sash lake. We mean "lake" too, not just "leak". Our photo (above) shows how water will pass down the upper sash and behind the lower sash into the window interior space.
Examples of Storm Window Weep Holes
Our storm window weep opening photo (left) is a close-up of the same window shown at the top of this article.
In this design the manufacturer intends that that outwards vertical "U" shaped bulge or stamping in the aluminum storm window frame (just above the "A" in "InspectAPedia") is intended to drain water out of the sill area between the sash and storm.
But you can also see that over the life of the home it's easy for someone enthusiastically caulking along to spread their sealant right over the outlet intended to drain water.
At this home the outside storm window caulk had cracked away, permitting the interior sill area to drain.
Retrofitting Weep Holes into Caulked Storm Window Frames
This is what we do if the storm windows have been totally caulked along the bottom edge of their frame.
Drilling a pair of 1/4" holes through the aluminum storm window frame bottom vertical edge, working from outside the window (or inside if you're on a higher floor), make each hole about 4" in from the sides of the storm window. In our photo the sill needs painting, but the weep hole is working properly despite the owner-applied caulk.
Watch out: do not drill into the wood of the window sill in either direction - aim your drill so that when it penetrates the aluminum frame into the storm-sash interstitial space, the drill bit is just flush with, not cutting into the window sill surface.
That way water trapped in that space can drain out readily, but you haven't compromised the wood. We have seen weep hole attempts that drilled right through the wooden sill - leading to rot.
If the weep hole you drilled is too large and your window-storm space is being invaded by insects you might want to screen the opening as this owner did.
Watch out: do not use a weep hole screening material that won't readily drain water - doing so will defeat the weep hole.
Photos of Rot & Damage from Missing or Clogged Storm Window Weep Holes
Here we see what an astute home inspector often finds: a history of leaks rotted the window sill, no one understood why, and the rot was "patched" with wood filler and paint, but the damage just continued.
This particular window was installed on a silo converted to living space at a country home. Poor window installation permitted water to leak into the space between window sash and storm window.
Our window rot photo (above left) shows severe window sill rot found at a home inspection back in 1993.
Water entered the space between the main window sash and the storm.
Water was trapped between the window sash and the storm window frame where it sat until the sill became so rotted that water leaked into the wall cavity below.
How to Avoid Leaks and Rot Damage at Aluminum Wrapped Window Sills & Trim
This photo shows that it's possible to cover up rotted window sills and trim with aluminum wrap-around trim.
But if the window structure is still trapping water between sash and storm, water leaks into the aluminum-wrapped space, and rot or perhaps insect damage continue to increase.
Careful detailing in installing the aluminum window trim wrap combined with proper sealing can reduce the outside sources of water leaks and rot, but if the storm window lacks weep openings that drain outside and on to the upper surface (not below) the new aluminum trim wrap, you're going to have trouble.
Our photo shows (above our pen) an extra piece of aluminum stock that was tacked onto the window sill before we completed storm window installations on this home. We added this upper aluminum covering because in his first attempt our contractor wrapped a piece of aluminum just big enough to pass under the storm window frame but not under the bottom edge of the primary window sash.
That mistake meant that any water entering the space between storm and sash would run under rather than over the aluminum stock, rotting our window.
By adding the upper piece of aluminum (we also sealed the nail heads), water in this space will be conducted safely outside when the storm window is added.
Why Install Storm Windows?
Quoting from WINDOW / DOOR ENERGY EFFICIENT, DOE
Add Storm Windows
If you have old windows in your home, the best way to improve your home's energy efficiency is to replace them with new, energy-efficient windows. However, if you're on a tight budget, a less expensive option is to use storm windows. Some types of storm windows are also a good option for those living in apartments.
Even though storm windows add little to the insulating performance of single-glazed windows (that are in good condition,) field studies have found that they can help to reduce air movement into and out of existing windows. Therefore, they help reduce heating and cooling costs.
OPINION: the DOE comments above may underestimate the benefit of storm windows in areas of high winter winds. Even without significantly increasing the insulating value of the primary sash, by stopping cold winds from blowing directly across the primary sash glass, a storm window should cut heat loss through the window opening by 1/3.
Watch out: if you don't find and stop air leaks in the building first, the benefit of adding storm windows (as well as other energy saving steps such as adding insulation) may not be realized
See ENERGY SAVINGS RETROFIT LEAK SEALING GUIDE
Types of Storm Windows
Storm windows are available for most types of windows. They can be installed on the interior or exterior of the primary window. They range from the inexpensive plastic sheets or films designed for one heating season, to triple-track glass units with low-emissivity coatings that offer many years of use. Mid-priced storm windows may use glass, plastic panels, or special plastic sheets that have specific optical qualities. Those made of polycarbonate plastic or laminated glass also offer a high degree of resistance to breaking during storms and/or from intruders.
For the most part, interior storm windows offer greater convenience than exterior storm windows. They're easier to install and remove; they require less maintenance because they're not exposed to the elements; and, because they seal tightly to the primary window, they're more effective at reducing air infiltration. Interior storm windows also are often the best choice for apartments and houses with more than one floor. If you can afford exterior storm windows, you can probably afford some newer, more energy-efficient windows, which will be a better investment.
Glass pane types offer better visibility and longer life than plastic pane types, but glass is heavy and fragile. In general, plastics are most economical for people with small budgets or who live in apartments. However, while inexpensive and relatively easy to install, they are easy to damage. Plastic panels, such as Plexiglas and acrylics are tougher and lighter than glass, but may scratch easily. Some may turn yellow over time as well. Some plastic films may significantly reduce visibility and degrade over time when exposed to sunlight.
Wood, aluminum, and vinyl are the most common storm window frame materials. There are advantages and disadvantages to all types of frame materials. Although very strong, light, and almost maintenance free, aluminum frames conduct heat very rapidly. Because of this, aluminum makes a very poor insulating material.
Wood frames insulate well, but they weather with age. They also expand and contract according to weather conditions. Wood-frame storm windows installed during the winter may not close easily during the summer, and those installed during the summer may fit loosely in the winter. They can also be quite heavy and thicker than metal frames.
This can make storage difficult, reduce the view out the window, and reduce the amount of natural light in the room. Wood frames also require the most maintenance. There are, however, aluminum- or vinyl-clad wood frames that reduce maintenance requirements.
Vinyl frames are usually made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with ultraviolet light (UV) stabilizers to keep sunlight from breaking down the material. They, however, may expand and warp at high temperatures, and crack in extremely low temperatures. Also, if sunlight hits the material for many hours a day, colors other than white will tend to fade over time.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Joel firstname.lastname@example.com Comedy is hard, but so is life, according to Keedar Whittle, one of the stars of the hit BET comedy, "Hell Date." The Lovejoy High School graduate traveled a long, bumpy road from being a college basketball star to becoming a middle school science teacher, and then later, an actor and comedian. This week, Whittle came back to the Southern Crescent to share his experience with students at the Eula Ponds Perry Learning Center in Jonesboro, Riverdale High School, and North Clayton Middle School. Before Whittle got into comedy, he was a gifted triathlete at North Clayton Middle School, excelling in baseball, basketball, and tennis. After graduating from Lovejoy High School in 1997, he took a basketball scholarship at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, Colo. After leaving the program, Whittle went back to Clayton County to teach special education courses at North Clayton Middle School. In January 2000, he decided to complete his education at Norfolk State University in Virginia, again joining the basketball team. Soon after getting there, however, he found that playing basketball was stifling his creativity. "You are not a student-athlete, you are an athlete-student," were the first words the basketball coaches at Norfolk State said, according to Whittle. "We were basically slaves to the program." Whittle grew tired of the pressure of being a student second and an athlete first. In an effort to experience life like other college students, he turned to acting. After trying out for a campus production of "Bourbon at the Border" by Atlanta playwright, Pearl Cleage, he landed a leading role. The director exclaimed, "Where have you been for the last four years?" said Whittle. "That started the acting bug for me." Whittle graduated from Norfolk State with a degree in biology and eventually went to Boston to pursue a graduate degree in microbiology. In Boston, he designed science curriculums for three private schools, while continuing to act in local plays, winning an IRNE (Independent Reviewers of New England) Award for best supporting actor for his role in "G.R. Point," a Vietnam War drama. "Education was my calling," Whittle said, but it was from there that he decided that he could have more influence as an actor, and decided to pursue acting full-time in New York City. In 2004, he joined Circle in the Square Theater School and performed in several off-Broadway plays. During that time, he began doing stand-up comedy. "Stand-up is hard," Whittle said. "The first time I did it, I was great and then the next 10 times, I sucked." Whittle said he has "never been booed a day in my life," but has gotten the "stone-face" and silent-treatment many times. That exposure, however, "made me more comfortable in my skin," he said. It also put him in contact with the producers of BET's "Hell Date." In the television show, unsuspecting singles are paired with paid actors who put them through a variety of ridiculous dating situations. Whittle has played many antagonistic characters on the show, including a date who is slightly deaf in both ears and whose hearing gets worse as the date goes on, a swinger (a person who shares his mate with other people), a cult leader, an overly committed boyfriend, who proposes on the first date, and an Australian kite (flying) instructor. Whittle said the most ridiculous character he has ever played on the show was a "recovering homosexual," who was going on his "first straight date." While he enjoys acting, Whittle said he is still committed to education. "Education is my calling," but "youth listen to people on television," he said. "Just this week, I was able to go to schools and talk to students. If I was working in Boston, or was an educator, I wouldn't be able to do that." Currently, Whittle is preparing for the "Funny As Hell Tour," which will feature stand-up comedy performances from cast members of "Hell Date." The tour is tentatively scheduled to come to the Atlanta area around Thanksgiving. In the future, however, he said that he would like to open a chain of education centers that focus on science, liberal arts, and religion. "[Education] gives you opportunity," said Whittle. "It might not give you money or teach you how to live life, but it gives you opportunity ... it gives you a vehicle."

Fabulous Fiction Firsts #430 - "War doesn't negate decency. It demands it, even more than in times of peace." ~ Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
Architect Charles Belfoure - "an up and coming Ken Follett." (Booklist) impresses with his debut - The Paris Architect *.
1942 Paris, gifted architect Lucien Bernard took on a lucrative but dangerous commission to design a secret hiding place for a wealthy Jew. It was to be so invisible that the most determined German officer wouldn't find; a challenge he could not resist to outwit the Nazis who have occupied his beloved city.
When one careless mistake resulted in tragedy, Lucien saw the plight of the Jews through new eyes, and the commission took on new meaning.
"Belfoure's portrayal of Vichy France is both disturbing and captivating, and his beautiful tale demonstrates that while human beings are capable of great atrocities, they have a capacity for tremendous acts of courage as well." "Heart, reluctant heroism, and art blend together in this spine-chilling page-turner."
Loosely based on British author Rhidian Brook's family history, The Aftermath is the emotionally riveting story of two families, one house, and love grown from hate.
Having been appointed Governor of Pinneberg, Bristish Army Col. Lewis Morgan was charged with overseeing the rebuilding of Hamburg devastated by Allied bombing. He was to station his family in a grand house on the River Elbe. Rather than forcing its owner to vacate, Lewis insisted that the two families would share the house.
In this charged atmosphere, exacerbated by domestic stress and war-related bitterness and grief, German architect Stefan Lubert and his teenage daughter, Freda, Lewis, his wife Rachel and their surviving son Edmund were forced to confront their true selves, navigating between desires, loyalties, and the transforming power of forgiveness.
For fans of Sadie Jones' Small Wars and other historical fiction that deals with the complexity of war. The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies; and The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer immediately came to mind.

Choose Respect.
Gov. Sean Parnell is starring in an ad campaign in which he thanks Alaskans for "choosing respect." Hooray! A bumper sticker! Parades! At long last we're raising awareness on an issue too many Alaskans know far too well. Initially, I applauded the governor's effort. I assumed there would be legislation and funding behind it. You know, something more than just a slogan and state employees carrying signs.
Choose Respect?
A sex trafficking bill passed during the special session. For more than a year before that, the governor had opposed an existing bill to stop sex trafficking in Alaska. Instead, he introduced his own bill. His legislation lacked the language to make it illegal to traffic a victim between Bethel and Anchorage; it only made criminals of perps who crossed state lines. Happily, legislators fixed the bill in the special session and now trafficking within Alaska is outlawed.
How many Alaskans were hurt during that year due to the governor's foolish and hypocritical opposition? We'll never know, but if it was only one girl, it was one too many.
What one other law has the governor pushed to curb domestic violence and sex crimes? Let me see -- I'm thinking. Thinking. Still thinking.
Choose Respect?
For all the parades and ad spots, what are we really getting? Seventy-six of Alaska's rural communities with more than 50 residents have no law enforcement. Bush Alaskans are often hours, sometimes days, from a trooper's help, yet few of them have Village Public Safety Officers.
So if you're raped or beaten in one of those villages by someone who didn't get the "respect" memo, by the time an officer gets to you there will likely be little if any evidence. What about your safety while you wait? Well, you do have the gov's moral support.
Alaska, with billions of dollars in the bank, isn't adding more than a dozen safety officers a year. Why? We live in a state where some of our most vulnerable citizens can't expect routine police protection. And not because we can't afford it.
Choose Respect?
Do we think rapists are deterred by slogans? They aren't deterred by the shame of getting caught, the threat of prison or the risk of being on a sex-offender registry for the rest of their lives.
So what exactly have hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in ads accomplished?
This past week I participated in the Alaskans Against the War on Women rally. Why a rally? Because each of us is morally responsible for holding government accountable and demanding something more than empty, bankrupt sloganeering and resume padding from Gov. Perpetual Candidate.
"I am one of the Alaska statistics," declared the first of many participants who then went on to demand real action.
"I'm a statistic" means "I was raped." It's just easier to say it that way. Fifty-eight percent of Alaska women have experienced sexual abuse. Seventy percent of ALL reported sexual crimes in the country involve children. Last month, Forbes magazine named Anchorage and Fairbanks as Nos. 2 and 3 on a list of the country's most dangerous cities for women.
Choose Respect?
Imagine if our solution to drunk driving was commercials, slogans and parades. Would it have worked? No. We had to make it very, very expensive for offenders and drinking establishments. We also put more cops on the streets. Do people still drink and drive? Yes. But many more take cabs or find designated drivers. And drinking establishments now subsidize cabs for inebriated patrons.
We need a governor with a slogan like this:
Choose Tough Laws and Serious Funding -- and Get Respect.
Village Public Safety Officers should be recruited and trained now, not "by 2019" as the governor trickles them out. The solution to "positions are too hard to fill" is paying officers a living wage. A survey by UAA in 2000 revealed that 20 percent of VPSOs were on food stamps and 60 percent were forced to work second jobs to supplement their incomes. Provide housing.
How about we Choose Respect for the men and women on the front lines in the war against violence. We need forensic nurses trained, funded and mobile. It's hard to convict a perpetrator without evidence.
Ninety percent of crimes in Alaska involve drugs or alcohol. Resources should be available to help those committed to breaking their addictions.
Gov. Parnell, I'm asking you to choose respect for Alaskans by putting our money where your mouth is. We need protection, not propaganda, solutions, not slogans. Choose Respect indeed.

Padres' Adams longs for closing time
PEORIA, Ariz. Mike Adams has heard the rap: That while the Padres' lean right-handed reliever is nails as an eighth-inning specialist, he's too injury prone to be a closer.

"Yeah, I've read it," Adams said. "And you know, it offends me a little bit."
Truth is, Adams' injury chart is probably thicker than his 6-foot-5, 193-pound frame. It includes missing the 2007 season after undergoing three knee surgeries. Shoulder surgery sidelined him the first two months of 2009. There have been two stints on the 15-day disabled list since then, one for a fatigued shoulder, another for a strained oblique.
"I've had one, true shoulder injury," said a defiant Adams. "I've pitched well since then. I haven't struggled."
Adams' family members and agent would argue that "pitched well" is your classic understatement. In the past two seasons Adams has pitched 107 innings, allowing 62 hits. His strikeout-to-walk ratio: 118-31; the ERA: 1.35.
"Anybody who says he can't be a closer is asinine," said the man who holds that role for the Padres, Heath Bell.
Bell, in fact, thought he was going to be traded in the offseason and told Adams the job was his.
Said Bell: "I told him, 'Good luck closing, man. Just keep (doing) what you're doing.' If something happens to me, (manager) Bud Black doesn't need to worry."
Adams is 32. He grew up in a small southern Texas town, Sinton, population less than 6,000. Nolan Ryan, baseball's all-time strikeout king, was his idol, to the point that as a kid Adams collected two phone books with Ryan on the cover.
In 2009 when the Padres visited the Texas Rangers, Adams paid $300 for a Ryan throwback Rangers jersey.
"Money well spent," he said.
Through clubhouse intermediaries, Adams got Ryan's autograph on the jersey.
"Still haven't met him," said Adams, who worked one shutout inning in a 6-4 win over Arizona on Thursday.
Like Ryan, Adams throws hard, his fastball routinely reaching the mid-90s. And like Ryan, he's not afraid to pitch inside. Unlike Ryan, Adams doesn't possess a wild side.
"He's capable (pitching to) both sides of the plate," Black said. "He's got the fastball inside. He's got the cutter/slider inside. And he commands the outside of the plate (against right-handed and left-handed batters). The command is good, the stuff is good and the head's good."
Adams avoided arbitration and signed a one-year, $2,535,000 contract for 2011. The Padres control him for one more season. The earliest he can become a free agent is after the 2012 season.
He doesn't hide the fact that one day, he wants the ninth-inning role.
"That's what we all strive to be as late-inning relievers," he said. "We want to be that guy that faces those big situations. We want to be big-time pitchers. We want to be counted on."
While not wanting to sound boastful, given his success the past two seasons, Adams is confident he can handle the closer's role.

Observing and analyzing human behavior and how it fits into the world isn't new for Hall. Her mother once called her a "weird child," but Hall prefers to use the word "imaginative." She grew up in a working-class household as the youngest of four daughters. Her mother was a phlebotomist, and her father worked in factories. For fun, she would spend hours by herself making up stories and had about 15 imaginary friends. In 2003, she graduated from Columbia University with a degree in African-American studies and creative writing. From there, she went on to do theater training at Harvard and playwriting at Julliard.
It was while studying at Columbia that she realized the lack of roles for African-American women. She was given an assignment to pull some scenes with two young African American women and couldn't find any. It was in that moment that she knew she had to write. She considers that epiphany the thing she is the most proud of.
"I took a chance. I didn't know what the road was going to be like. We make the road by walking, and I decided to become my dream instead of lying there and dreaming about it," Hall said.
"The Mountaintop" is just the beginning. In February the Signature Theatre in New York will produce "Hurt Village," Hall's play set in her hometown about a soldier who returns from Iraq and discovers his neighborhood is being demolished. If that should eventually come to Broadway, Hall would be just fine with that, now that she feels a part of the community.
"I must say I feel very satisfied," Hall said. "I feel as though -- and I'm very proud of this -- that I have been able to make Broadway accessible to a new generation in terms of putting up a story that all different kinds of people want to see. It doesn't matter if you're white, black, old or young. Everyone is coming to see 'The Mountaintop.'"

'The greatest risk in life is in not taking one.' These were the words of 72-year-old British sailor and author Trevor Wilson when he was rescued for the fourth time in an Atlantic crossing attempt, just 70 miles off the United States coastline. Each Atlantic crossing attempt, some of which succeeded, ended with the loss of his sloop, Erma.
Erma setting off, full of hope
He is now recovering in hospital and maybe wondering if there's some other risk he could take that would have a better outcome. The United States Coast Guard reported: 'Wilson activated his 406 megahertz emergency position indicating radio beacon at approximately 6 a.m., which alerted the Coast Guard fifth District Watchstanders.
Watchstanders deployed an aircrew aboard an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C., to search the EPRIB's indicated location.
The helicopter crew located the sailing boat Erma and made contact via VHF-FM radio. Wilson, an ex-merchant navy man, reported to the aircrew he had been unconscious for seven hours and believed that he had fallen and hit his head.
The aircrew deployed a rescue swimmer who took Wilson off his sailboat and took him to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.'
It was in 2000 that Trevor Wilson first made an attempt at a lifelong dream of sailing alone across the Atlantic.
He had been originally inspired by the true story of the remarkable voyage of 16 exiled men, women and children aboard a 70 year-old 36ft double ended wooden sloop, Erma, from Stockholm in the Baltic to Norfolk, Virginia in America, and set off. A broken rudder ended that trip and he had to be rescued and lost his sailboat.
In 2002, undaunted, he tried again, but this time was caught in a hurricane. On this second attempt he broke three ribs and his arm, was rescued, losing his sailboat once again.
He wouldn't give in. He somehow acquired a third yacht and this time actually made the crossing, arriving off the coastline of Guyana. However, he lost this boat too, sunk in ten minutes after being driven onto submerged rocks off Devil's Island, as a result of being struck by lightning which had caused a dismasting.
In the meantime, he wrote a book about his experiences, 'Sailing alone across the Atlantic', which you can purchase by http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sailing-Alone-Across-Atlantic-Pensioners/dp/190605097X!clicking_here.
Finally, this week a fourth disaster and a fourth boat loss. Here watch the video of his fourth rescue:

A virtual appliance can be deployed as a VM or a subset of a virtual machine running on virtualization technology, such as VMware Workstation. Deploying an application as a virtual appliance can eliminate problems with installation and configuration, such as software or driver compatibility issues. Users can simply download a single file and run the application. Resources required for maintenance are also reduced. Virtual appliances have proven useful in deploying network applications. They are also helpful in grid computing, where they can solve problems introduced by heterogeneous hardware and operating systems, and in the Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model, where the simplicity of the virtual appliance can help improve economies of scale.
There are two types of virtual appliances, closed and open. A closed VA is always packaged, distributed, maintained, updated and managed as a unit. An open VA is accessible to customers for modifications. Developers can include a Web interface for custom configurations or delivering patches and updates.
Virtual appliances are a subset of the broader class of software appliances.

Although he has no apparent connections to Boston, Jermichael Finley will lend a helping hand to the shell-shocked city. The Packers tight end tweeted Thursday that he'll donate $500 for every touchdown he scores or pass he drops this upcoming season. The money will go to One Fund Boston Inc., which was developed by Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick and Boston mayor Thomas M. Menino to assist those affected by Monday's horrific bombings at the Boston Marathon. https://twitter.com/JermichaelF88/status/324896932222865408 It's a great gesture by Finley, whose inspiration likely came from Patriots receiver Danny Amendola's similar pledge. His humorous quip about being booed ties into the fact that Green Bay fans have long expressed frustration with Finley's inconsistent hands. Last season, Finley recorded just two touchdown receptions and seven drops.

Chevy changes its slogan
DETROIT, MI (AP)-- Chevrolet is adopting a new slogan designed to appeal to drivers beyond the U.S.
The General Motors Co. brand is dropping "Chevy Runs Deep" and replacing it with "Find New Roads."
The company says the slogan is better geared toward overseas customers, pointing to its significant overseas expansion over the past several years.
Chevy says "Find New Roads" will be used in the brand's global advertising starting in the U.S. this quarter.
GM unveiled the "Chevy Runs Deep" advertising campaign in the fall of 2010. The ads drew on the brand's 100-year history and were narrated by movie and TV star Tim Allen, but failed to resonate with consumers.

Good selection, staff very friendly. Stopped here for dessert . Seemed to be a very popular stop for families
Friendly staff, Huge cones for the price, great selection of flavors. Located right by the lakefront parks
Great selection and service at Scoops. Servings are very generous and always served with a smile. We like to get our ice cream and then take it across the street to the lakefront. It is within walking distance of several restaurants and makes for a great treat following dinner.
Within walking distance to Kershaw park. Convenient to the park. It's clean and quiet. You can walk your dog through the park and even down to the water.

Perry's ice cream is delicious, and Scoops gives you huge servings. Be up for walk up window and outdoor seating.
Don't order anything larger than a small! Wonderful ice cream in a picturesque setting along side of the lake.
Bad service and bad food. Meaty watery warm ice cream is not cool. It's like they don't keep the freezer cold enough and what is supposed to be hard ice cream turned out to be more runny and watery than most any soft serve ever is. We had to throw out the majority of our cones because it was so...
