From Dan Martin:Derek Jeter ran on Monday for the first time since his October ankle surgery and says he has the go-ahead for all further baseball activity. ... "I've gotten the OK to do everything," Jeter said. "I haven't been using my legs so I have to get used to using them." Good to see Jeter progressing nicely. Jeter also took some slow grounders and on the infield while moving a bit more to each side.

Prep football; Community School hits the road to meet tough Seffner Christian
Key players -- CSN: QB Drew Tomaini, RB Mike Schoeller, TE/LB Neal Deffosez, K Mike Conroy. SC: QB Tanner Richardson, RB Seth Lewis, OL/DL Aaron Evans.
What to watch for: The Seahawks go on the road to face a tough opponent, who has won five in a row and is averaging 47 points during the streak. Richardson is a threat throwing (7 TDs) or running (8 TDs), and Evans is someone to watch out for defensively. Three weeks ago, he had six tackles for loss, a sack, and deflected a pass that was intercepted. The game will be played at Strawberry Crest High School.
Community School was largely at the mercy of whatever teams it could schedule outside its district this season.
CSN was searching to fill its schedule after finding out late it would be in Class 2A-District 6. The Seahawks had scheduled Bradenton Christian, which had been in the district previously, but then was moved when the Florida High School Athletic Association finished its reclassification and redistricting.
That created a third opening for a non-conference opponent.
"You don't want to schedule someone in the next district because of (possibly facing them in) the playoffs," CSN coach Damon Jones said. "So you've either got to go to Miami or off of I-4."
Enter Seffner Christian Academy, where CSN (3-4) travels this week.
Seffner has been a hotbed for football, with Armwood winning 4A state titles in 2003 and 2004, finishing runner-up last year, and making nine straight playoff appearances.
Seffner Christian, in its second full varsity season, isn't Armwood. But the Crusaders (5-1), who are an independent, have some talent.
"It's definitely a good area for football," Jones said. "They look pretty physical. The quarterback's tough. We're going to have our work cut out for us defensively."
Jones was pleased with how the Seahawks handled a potent Moore Haven team in its 31-21 loss last week.
"I thought we played pretty well," he said. "They just have a truckload of athletes. Athletes like that are going to make big plays. ... We had 400 yards of offense. WE stayed balance, and were able to do some stuff. We got behind early, and came right back."
Senior quarterback Tanner Richardson has completed 55 percent of his passes for 386 yards, seven touchdowns and four interceptions. He also has 475 yards rushing and eight touchdowns. Lineman Aaron Evans, a 6-foot-4, 241-pound junior, is a force that Jones is concerned about.
The Crusaders lost their opener to Mount Dora Bible, 37-7, but have won their next five games by a combined score of 235-46.

Leave it to a NOBODY like me to alter the face of street art (wink). Why should it be all about getting up, having YOUR work seen, promoted, discovered in the streets? Where's the fun for people like YOU?
Okay, granted many of you don't relish going out into the dark of night with wheat paste and paint, to leave your mark on the world. So a new art project gives everyone the opportunity to create some art in the streets with a quick slap of a sticker. I was thinking how interesting it might be to see the different faces that could be created by simply adding some lips to a decaying, wall, an abandoned building, or some trash left on the streets. What do I know, use your imagination (just please do not stick them on public or private property). So, enough with the "Lip Service" about Street Art being for EVERYONE. Iconic lip stickers have been given out, and are beginning to appear in the strangest places, and creating some very interesting Visages. So, now you too can be a street artist. Looking forward to seeing what YOU come up with.
The sheer pleasure an artist receives from simply creating art in some form is what motivates artists of all ages to create. Whether it is a folded origami paper or a ten ton metal sculpture, the pleasure derived from the very act of creating is the same.Children don't need any persuasion to dip into the paint or the clay but as they age, things begin to change. Art is the only subject where a parent, teacher or friend may look you in the eye and say "You
don't have any talent" and it is accepted. I have always found it interesting that learning to play an instrument is an acknowleged step by step learning process (as is reading, math, etc.) but art? Well you either have it or you don't has been the prevailing concept! And that declaration influences would be artists for the rest of their lives.Early "how to" TV shows with artists such as Jon Gnagy, Bill Alexander and Bob Ross Artist DVD's were instrumental in introducing the concept that "You, too, can learn to draw and paint!" And to them, we owe a debt of gratitude for what they pioneered to the masses. Those artists understood the joy that comes to an individual learning to master art skills that oftentimes he/she was told they could never do. And in spite of a small art segment that ridiculed these early TV artists, the general public took them to heart and a whole new industry of "art for fun" was created.Jerrys Artarama, like all art supply companies, is in the business to sell the products that artists use to create art . The Raleigh store in particular, offers art workshops year round from reputable instructors who teach their skills to others in a myriad of styles and techniques. But Jerry's has recently gone a step further and taken the unique approach of developing a program to encourage people of all ages to develop their interest in art. The START program encourages participants to Stop Thinking Art is Really Tough and jump into an art class near where they live. Participating art instructors teach specified basics of art in their own unique ways and methods but the whole point is to reach those who either have never been exposed to art, gave up on art or never started because they "had no talent." It is an excellent way to reach into remote areas of the state as the pilot program develops and touch schools and after school programs, senior centers and community groups who have no such program in place. Although DVD's and online classes may seem to have replaced TV, there is nothing like the "real thing," a live class, to encourage and motivate beginning through advanced students to START their art! And how can you resist a happy person who has just realized that he/she just created an art piece?

Would recommend Dr.Ta to any and every pregnant woman. She cares and loves what she does. Takes her time with you and listens and will answer any question or concern you have weather it's during the week or weekend. Great staff also !!! Very compassionate.
April 17, 2005, I went into labor, called the number Dr. Elliot Evan Cazes had given to me and received a call back from Alyssa Ta after a long wait; she was very rude, I asked for Dr. Cazes and she said that he was not available. No one informed me that I would have a different doctor. During my visits with Dr. Cazes, I discussed with him my plan for a natural birth during delivery and he never prepared me for that. When I got to the hospital, the room they place me in was dark and gloomy. I verbally expressed that 'I did not want Alyssa Ta to touch me period'. The assistant attempted to prep me for and IV and I told her that I was having a natural birth, I felt fine, the monitor and all equipment appeared to show that everything was normal and I was just waiting for my baby. All of a sudden, Allyssa Ta and hr crew 'surgery' crew rushed in to take me for an emergency cesearean stating that my blood pressure was high and the baby was in trouble. This was a lie!!! I believe from the beginning, my doctor, Dr. Cazes had planned on a cesearean regardless of my ability and desire for natural birth (in hindsight). I am traumatized this day. In 2006, months later, I met the surgeon general, Francois and was able to share my concern with him and his office in Tallahassee but nothing became of it. I advise anyone to obtain a 'midwife', an advocate or someone you can trust to help you ensure that the care and interest is on the side of the patient and not doctors whose goal is to perform as many surgeries as possible at the risk of innocent 'mothers-to-be'...ALYSSA TA IS A BUTCHER and not a caring doctor...she and Dr. Elliot Evan Cazes left me traumatized to this day. It left me feeling less than a woman and that was the worse birth experience in my life after giving birth fifteen years prior to my first son, which was natural, no medication, no assistance and the most beautiful birth I had ever exprienced.
I was having trouble getting pregnant, then had a miscarriage before I was able to carry a baby to term. Dr. Ta helped me through every step of this process from getting pregnant to managing my miscarriage and delivering my son. She followed the birth plan we discussed as long as it was safe to do so (we did have to change the plan due to problems with delivery - not her fault). She took excellent care of me and my son while we were in the hospital and even calmly and professionally handed a cancer scare. I wish I could have her deliver my second child (but we have moved away). A fantastic doctor!!
She was a great doctor until she decided to leave the practice. I'd been going to Dr. Ta for several years, but the last visit was one of the worst ever. She had always been very attentive and would answer questions, but this last time she acted very rushed and annoyed. We had fertility issues, and she basically blew me off because she was going to be leaving in a few months. At least she did tell me that she was leaving.

Bach Festival Society Concludes Season with SPRING IN VIENNA, 4/28-4/29
Vienna has been home to some of the world's most important composers and has inspired some of the greatest works in Western musical history. The Bach Festival Society of Winter Park concludes its 2011–2012 Season with "Spring in Vienna," featuring music that captures the spirit of the "city of music." The Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra are joined by soprano Julia Foster and tenor Curtis Rayam on a program including the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss, the first movement of Schubert's Symphony No. 8 ("The Unfinished"), excerpts from Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzes, and "Spring" from Haydn's The Seasons.
Considered the birthplace of the Classical style, Vienna's leading legacy is music. Vienna has been the setting for several prominent composers and their most famous works. The composers featured on this program-Johann Strauss, Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms-experienced great success during their time in Vienna.
Julia Foster, soprano, is active in the stage, concert, and teaching arenas. Ms. Foster's recent concert engagements have included Mendelssohn's Elijah, Handel's Messiah, and Bach's Mass in B Minor. On the operatic stage, Ms. Foster has been seen as Elisetta in Cimarosa's Il Matrimonio Segreto, Beth in Adamo's Little Women, and Vitige in Handel's Flavio with Ars Lyrica Houston, among others. Ms. Foster currently serves as Assistant Professor of Voice at Rollins College, where she coordinates a voice area of over 75 students and teaches music in both the classroom and studio.
Curtis Rayam, tenor, made his professional debut in 1971 with the Miami Opera in Puccini's Manon Lescaut and since then has performed extensively in the United States, Germany, Austria, France, Israel, Vienna, and South Africa with major opera companies and symphony orchestras. In 1997, Curtis Rayam returned home to Florida and joined the music faculty of Bethune-Cookman University. He continues to perform in the USA and abroad, while remaining active both in church and within the wider community. Rayam sits on the Board of Directors for the Choral Society of Winter Park at Rollins College, where he teaches voice as an adjunct.

Canceling Print ACS Journals
The S&E Library will be canceling the American Chemical Society journals (print only, not online).
Why are we canceling them?
- The New Format. As you may be aware, ACS Publications is moving to a "rotated and condensed" print format for all of their journals except JACS, Accounts of Chemical Research, and Chemical Reviews. More about this decision is available from ACS, as well as in recent articles from Nature and Chronicle of Higher Education.
- Pricing. As customers of the ACS Web Editions, we were able to maintain the print subscriptions at a very deep discount. Starting in 2010 ACS will that discountinue that discount, and we cannot pay full price for print when we are also paying for online as well.
- UCSD faculty, students and staff will continue to have online access to all of the ACS journals.
- We will continue to have Chemical & Engineering News print and online. ACS is not changing the print format of C&EN. The same goes with Journal of Chemical Education.
If you have any questions, please contact Teri Vogel.

Wrestlemania 30 predictions
By Aaron Oster
March Madness is coming to an end, Spring is in the air (finally), and baseball season has started, which means one thing to wrestling fans: it's time for Wrestlemania.
This year's Wrestlemania is extra special to me because for the first time, I'll be making the pilgrimage that every wrestling fan should take at least once in his or her life. Take all the wrestling shows, events and fans, and add New Orleans to the mix, and I believe it's going to create an unbelievable atmosphere all weekend long.
To add to the excitement, WWE announced on Thursday that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin would be at Wrestlemania. I assume that he will just be in a backstage segment, to add to the nostalgia factor, but who really knows for sure?
Besides the card itself, this is truly going to be historic because of the vehicle in which it's delivered. It's the first pay-per-view on the WWE Network, and with that, there is a lot of pressure on the WWE to get this right, besides simply putting on a good show. If there are technical difficulties during the biggest show of the year, that could be an unbelievably tough blow to take for a company that has so much riding on the Network. For what it's worth, I do have faith in MLBAM, which is the company that deals with the Network technically. Their reputation, which has been nearly-flawless to this point in running MLB.TV, is on the line as well.
They're having an extra long pre-show this year, starting at 5 p.m. The first hour will be on YouTube, Facebook, WWE.com and the WWE App, as well as the WWE Network, while the second hour will be only on the Network. It's clear that they want people to slowly make their way on to the Network, to ease the strain of the bandwidth.
If there's one thing that the WWE has done well this year (and I believe there's more than one thing), it's create a card that, for the most part, is unpredictable. There's only one match, Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar, that I can say with reasonable certainty how it ends. While I have predictions on all of them, I wouldn't say I'm certain on anything else.
So without further delay, here are my predictions for Wrestlemania 30. (Click through gallery below for each match.)
Image 1 of 6
The Usos vs. The Real Americans vs. Rybaxel vs. Los Matadores for the WWE Tag Team Championship
This match will happen on the pre-show, which has to be slightly disappointing for the people involved, particularly someone like Cesaro who has shined in the past few months. However, with the Network, there will be almost no difference in the feel between the two parts.
This match will come down to two teams, The Usos and The Real Americans. Sorry to the other two teams, but there's absolutely no way either walks out with the belts. Honestly, I could see this match going either way. The Usos were red-hot chasing the titles two months ago. However, since they won, they've been put on the back-burner, ending their feud with the New Age Outlaws, but not doing much since then. Meanwhile, The Real Americans have started to get face pops, largely due to Cesaro's growing popularity. It seemed like they were going to break up just a few weeks ago, but for whatever reason, the WWE decided to keep them together. Now, the WWE may have kept them together solely to give the Usos a decent opponent at Wrestlemania, but it does make you wonder if they might give the team one more run, maybe even a title run, before Cesaro goes off on his own.
However, I'm going with The Usos. I think that they were initially chalked up to get a big Wrestlemania moment before they decided to give them the titles in front of the Chicago crowd, so I think they stick with that. I also think that Cesaro breaks out sooner rather than later, and a tag run wouldn't do much for him. Plus, besides just slingshotting it back to the Usos, there isn't really anybody they can lose it to right now, and you'd think if they did win it, it would be a relatively short title reign. So I'll go with the Usos to get the crowd hot to start the show, and it's possible that we'll even see Cesaro break off here.
Winners: The Usos

vessels, blocking the blood flow. When this blockage occurs in the small blood
vessels in the inner lining (retina) of the eyes, it can cause
vision problems. This most often occurs in people who have hemoglobin SC
disease, a type of sickle cell disease.
In the worst cases, the
retina may come loose, leading to permanent blindness.
This may happen suddenly, without any warning.
Early detection can
help prevent these problems. Have your child's eyes checked during the newborn
period and again at all routine well-child visits.
And get routine eye exams as an adult. Try to go to a doctor who specializes in
eye problems (ophthalmologist).

As of Thursday, August 2, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Click HERE to check out the Daily Post's complete coverage of the 2012 Olympics, including Gwinnett athletes competing in the Summer Games.
LONDON - The U.S. women's basketball team has been unstoppable at the London Games - and its starters have hardly broken a sweat.
The Americans' Olympic rookies have led the way.
The U.S. has rolled through its first three opponents, winning by 36 points a game with major contributions from its bench.
They play the Czech Republic on Friday. The U.S. beat the Czechs in the 2010 world championship title game.
The second unit, led by Angel McCoughtry, Lindsay Whalen and Maya Moore, has been spectacular. The trio sparked the Americans, helping the U.S. shake off a slow start and eventually wear down Turkey in Wednesday's 31-point win.
"You put them on the floor and they really disrupt the other team on both ends of the floor," said U.S. coach Geno Auriemma of his reserves.
Buoyed by the success of the second group, Auriemma hasn't needed much from veterans Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird and Tamika Catchings - all of whom have bee n instrumental in the team's 36-game Olympic winning streak. The three captains will be called upon more as the Americans advance into the elimination round, which they qualified for with Wednesday's win.
"Our second group has done a tremendous job so far," said Taurasi, who is averaging seven points in 22 minutes. "There's still a lot of games left and we'll be ready."
Besides her play on the court, Whalen can offer insight to the coaching staff after spending the past few years playing in the Czech Republic during the WNBA offseason.
"These guys have all played internationally and definitely help in learning about the other team's personnel," Auriemma said.
While the Americans have already clinched a spot in the quarterfinals, the Czechs (1-2) still are trying to advance.
They made a surprising run to the silver medal at the worlds, knocking off defending champion Australia in the quarterfinals before losing by 20 to the U.S. in the title game. The Czech Republic only trailed by five at the half, which sent the sellout home crowd - that included President Vaclav Klaus - into a frenzy.
"It was great for our team to see, feel we could play in a close game for some time against the U.S.," said Czech star Katerina Elhotova. "I'm really hoping that ... we'll keep pace with them for longer than only one half."
Without the tremendous home crowd behind them, the Czech Republic hasn't been able to duplicate that run in the Olympics.
The Czechs won their first game on Wednesday, beating Croatia 89-70.
"They're another team that struggled in the first two games and that was kind of a surprise," Auriemma said. "Against Croatia, they looked like the old Czech team. They went from down four to up 15 in no time. Their size and their guard play is pretty impressive. We need to keep getting better. If we keep getting better we'll be fine."
Auriemma gave his team Thursday. They've played, practiced, or traveled every day since getting together for the first time on July 14.
"It's nice to just get a day to relax, sleep late," Candace Parker said. "I'll be going sightseeing with my family."
The time off will also give center Sylvia Fowles another chance to rest her sore left foot. Fowles has not played in the past two games.
After facing the U.S., the Czechs will play winless Angola on Sunday. The Americans will close out their pool play on Sunday against China, which also is unbeaten.

The Spinach RoadsterThe Spinach Roadster (1936) - Popeye the Sailor Theatrical Cartoon Series
This page has been viewed 20 times this month, and 885 times total.
- Popeye the Sailor Theatrical Cartoon Series
- Fleischer Studios
- Distributed by: Adolph Zukor
- Cartoon Characters: Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto.
- Originally Released in 1936.
- Black & White
- Running Time: 6:19 minutes.
- Buy This On DVD
Cartoon Summary:
Bluto competes with Popeye for Olive's attention. The confrontation has Popeye's jalopy trying to compete with the sex appeal of Bluto's muscle car. Popeye's singing to himself about his automobile as he pulls in front of Olive's house to take Olive for a drive. Just then, Bluto pulls up in a swanky new Art Deco car and calls Popeye's ride a "piece of junk." He asks Olive if she'd like to take a ride in "a good car," but she refuses and goes with Popeye. Bluto drives on ahead of them and rearranges a sign in the road so that Popeye and Olive must climb a steep cliff, but his plot backfires when Popeye's car dislodges some boulders, which topple on Bluto himself. (These scenes include some of the Fleischer Studios' famous three-dimensional effects.) Undaunted, Bluto throws a wrench at Popeye's car. The gas tank ruptures, bringing the car to a halt. A fistfight ensues (of course) while a hapless Olive finds herself in Popeye's car as it careens down a mountainside. Popeye pops open his spinach can, eats the spinach, defeats Bluto and rescues Olive Oyl in the nick of time.

Gear Question
I own a sailboat and would like to create...
I own a sailboat and would like to create a climbing system to use on my mast. I have a line that will be stationary from the base to the top of the mast. What equipment would I need to create a safe system. By the way I am a novice. Can anyone help me?
Lyric Rosatti
First off, I am assuming you mean you want to top your mast, and not just hang over for balast. So, you should pick up two of these, one right handed, and one left handed. You will also need a harness, two slings, or one sling and a foot loop. You will also need carabiners to attach those things to the Ascender.
Some people would leave it at that, and trust that the Ascender is enough to keep you in place at the top, and in all likely hood, it will. I think that most people would want some kind of other back up system at the top. What does the top of your mast look like, is there anything else to tie off to? What size boat is it?
Foot Loop: http://www.backcountry.com/petzl-footape-adjustable-foot-loop
Personally, I would completely avoid using two handled ascenders. I highly recommend that you outfit yourself with a "frog" system. This will provide a high degree of safety. For more information check out the following link: http://technology.darkfrontier.us/Vertical/Frog/

Citing the local veterinary authority, MTI said the infected meat came from the village of Esztar. It went to the zoo in the city of Debrecen.
Two lions, two leopards and a tiger ate from the infected meat, Istvan Tischler, director of the local veterinary authority told MTI. One of the lions died, while the rest of the animals are being monitored after receiving preventative medicine.
He said the farm where the infected cow had been identified had been placed under quarantine and the pigs and dogs had preventative medicine.
He said around 70 animals in the zoo, which could be susceptible to the infection, would have to be vaccinated.The zoo has been closed to visitors temporarily.
The disease would not spread from human to human, from one animal to another, or from infected animals to humans, Tischler told MTI.

Food Habits
In general, Unionidae are filter feeders. The mussels use cilia to pump water into the labial palps and then directed to the mouth. Mussels have been cultured on algae, but they may also ingest bacteria, protozoans and other organic particles.
The parasitic glochidial stage absorbs blood and nutrients from hosts after attachment. Mantle cells within the glochidia feed off of the host's tissue through phagocytocis.
Plant Foods: algae; phytoplankton

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Daniel Farey-Jones, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 21 April 2011 09:18AM
Organic growth came in at 6.5%, beating Omnicom's figure of 5.2% posted earlier this week.
The French giant, led by chief executive Maurice Levy, has been gathering momentum since emerging from the recession, in part thanks to major digital acquisitions Digitas and Razorfish, and its expansion into emerging markets.
The group pulled in net new business worth $1.9bn over the quarter, with wins including Disney in the US for Starcom MediaVest, ZenithOptimedia and Razorfish, Dreams in the UK for Starcom, and Visa in France and the UK for Publicis Worldwide.
UK revenues were up a relatively anodyne 2.4%, but there was double-digit growth in Europe (up 10.8% to €409m), Asia-Pacific (up 13% to €148m) and Latin America (up 23.6% to €68m).
North America rose by 9.2% to €632m, making a substantial contribution to the top line.
But Levy's eyes are firmly on emerging markets and, in particular, the prize of China, where Starcom picked up China Telecom during the quarter.
Organic growth in Bric countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) measured 11.4%.
Levy said: "Our investments in digital are paying off, and the signals we are getting from emerging markets are highly encouraging. As before, China has priority status – we expect our business there to double by 2013."
Profit figures for the group will follow at a later date.

The Medical Center has also been an innovator in the field of telemedicine. The system employed for the project was built on a technological backbone developed at the University of Rochester and is used to conduct remote pediatric and dental evaluations on patients in schools, day care centers, and other locations. The system is essentially low tech, low cost solution and consists of a laptop, software, and a web camera that allows the physicians to interact with and visually assess patients.
While such remote evaluations have their limitations, Parkinson's disease was an ideal candidate for such a system. "Parkinson's is a very visual disease," said Biglan. "You don't necessarily have to physically touch patients to understand how they are doing."
Patients are brought to a room in the nursing home with a flat screen television so they can see the physicians. All the doctors in Rochester require on their end is a computer equipped with a web camera. Telemedicine "visits" are just like regular office visits and consist of an update on the patient's health, a review of medications, any potential complications, and a standardized motor skills evaluation (balance, gait, coordination, and stiffness) conducted by the physician with the assistance of a trained nurse at the Presbyterian Home. At the end of the visit, recommendations are discussed with the patient and faxed to the nursing home.
An initial pilot project, funded by the Presbyterian Home, followed 14 patients for 6 months and then evaluated the outcomes of those who received telemedicine care with those who did not. The study found that telemedicine patients had

Series: Responding to "Laudato Si'" by Pope Francis (4 entries)
Pope Francis's June 2015 encyclical has stirred international conversation on how science and faith come together on the question of ecology and climate change. This short series features several responses from friends of BioLogos, including world-renowned Christian climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. The series concludes with closing thoughts by BioLogos content manager Jim Stump.
"Natural" and "Supernatural" are Modern Categories, Not Biblical Ones
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
Did Newton's God Vanish with the "Gaps" in His Science?
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
If God created the universe, what created God?
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?

So...I am a BRAND new knitter :]. I have started out easy and small with a wool soaker sack and I have to say I am really enjoying it. Im an original crocheter...but Im cloth diapering and honestly the soakers just look SOOO much better if they are knit so I decided to branch out. So now I am looking to start my needle stash and Im kind of low on funds. Has anyone used the Stitch Berry needles from eknittingneedles.com? They are cheap and I need cheap lol! I also need quite a few so thats why I was thinking of going with these instead of say Clover or something like that. From the pictures it doesn't look like they are bent at all though, does that really make a difference? I only have a size 4 and 7 for the soaker Im working on now and both of the needles are bent a little. So any advice you ladies have to give would be greatly appreciated...thanks so much!!!
Newbie! Are these needles any good?

I don't know about the other members of this board, but I love bamboo needles. I think they are great for beginner knitters because it's harder to drop stitches because the stitches don't just slide off like metal needles. The only thing that I could suggest that would be better is the Denise interchangable set. I love love love mine!

Momma to furbaby, Tormey the beagle, and my darling daughter, Erin (10-30-10).
I agree. I replaced all of my needles and crochet hooks with bamboo. They are so wonderful to work with and the yarn slides so smoothly over them. I will never go back to metal again! I found a lot of them on ebay for a great price, really cheap, and they work great.

Is there a big difference in the brand names though? I just looked at them and it doesnt look like any of the bamboo or wood ones are bent so im guessing that doesnt make a difference in how they work...i guess the needle part is just shorter so it actually makes a circle. but anyways thanks for yalls help!! I will definitely be getting all bamboo needles from here on out!
Proud mama to miss Violet Rose born on March 19 2011!
I haven't noticed a huge difference as far as brands are concerned. I prefer bamboo needles and I always buy circulars now. I can use circs to knit anything... I can't use straights for everything. The other thing I like about the circs is that they're always together... No more digging through my UFO box to find both my needles.

Emily- I LOVE circulars too! I use them for everything even my socks now.
I used to only work with bamboo until I tried a circular Addi Turbo, omg its heaven! So I use both bamboo and Addi Turbo.
i bought bamboo dpn and bamboo circulars. i love both! i tried aluminum and others, and hate them. The bamboo is light weight, smooth, and it just seems to flow when i use them.

im using aluminum right now and dont care for them! i just ordered my bamboo circulars though and i cant wait till they come in so i can start my first real soaker!!
Proud mama to miss Violet Rose born on March 19 2011!
I LOVE my Harmony Wood layered birch needles! I like really sharp tips, and these are sharper/stronger than any bamboo I've ever had! Smoother than bamboo, but not as slick as Addi Turbos (which I love for lacework/socks!).

withrow downs is a subdivison that was designed for first time home buyers. I have had a few homes listed in there and sold and a couple of buyers that looked inthere as well and one that bought. Like any other area of the country it got hit with the market recession. parts of Charlotte helpd out longer than other parts and since that neighborhood is newer construction, I think the home owers worked harder to keep their homes maybe than other older neighborhoods.
Also check the information you are looking at. There are two withrow downs. One is being finsihed by Ryan homes (which based on lexington is the one i think you are talking about) and the other one is withrow downs II which is a lower priced starter neighborhood that has families looking concnerned with the proximity to the lowes motor speedway and making it harder to sell in there. That one I know becuase the builder has dramatically cut the price of the homes from when they first started is making it almost impossible for anyone to resell their home in there if they did not put a large down payment down....

These areas were developed and built at about the peak of the Greater Charlotte real estate market. Prices fell 22% regionally and people who bought near the peak were upside down. If they bought with little money down or were credit challenged to begin with, then experienced a hardship, the factors combined to result in a few more than normal foreclosures. But the market is changing and it is no longer a buyers market. Interest rates are still low, but they have ticked up a bit in the last months. If you can qualify for a loan, and find a house you like and can buy it on terms that fit your finances, you should not hesitate. If you appreciate an answer, please give thumbs up.

Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales

Not only can the man rant, he can write.
From the larger, louder half of the world-famous magic duo Penn & Teller comes a scathingly funny reinterpretation of The Ten Commandments. They are The Penn Commandments, and they reveal one outrageous and opinionated atheist's experience in the world. In this rollicking yet honest account of a godless existence, Penn takes readers on a roller coaster of exploration and flips conventional religious wisdom on its ear to reveal that doubt, skepticism, and wonder -- all signs of a general feeling of disbelief -- are to be celebrated and cherished, rather than suppressed. And he tells some pretty damn funny stories along the way. From performing blockbuster shows on the Vegas Strip to the adventures of fatherhood, from an on-going dialogue with proselytizers of the Christian Right to the joys of sex while scuba diving, Jillette's self-created Decalogue invites his reader on a journey of discovery that is equal parts wise and wisecracking.
Praise for God, No!
"People who say that libertarians have no heart or atheists have no soul need to read this book. Because Penn Jillette has a lot of both." -- MATT STONE and TREY PARKER, creators of South Park and the award-winning Broadway musical The Book of Mormon
"There are few people in the country who question more boldly, brashly, and bravely than my friend Penn Jillette. This book is funny, provocative, and profane. But is it right? God, no!" --GLENN BECK
"This planet has yielded exactly one mutual friend for Glenn Beck and me and that friend has written a brilliant book called God, No! Penn reveals 'the big secret of magic,' tells you why tattoos are perfect expressions of atheism and exactly what to eat when you know you're going to vomit later." --LAWRENCE O'DONNELL
"Penn Jillette is a twenty-first-century Lord of Misrule: big, boisterously anarchic, funny, Rabelaisian, impossible and unique. There isn't--couldn't be--better not be--anybody like him." --RICHARD DAWKINS, bestselling author of The Greatest Show on Earth and The God Delusion
Penn Jillette frames his new book, God, No!, as the atheist's Ten Commandments. He joins NPR's Neal Conan to discuss the humility of atheists and his respect for believers. More at NPR.org

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Authorities say traffic on the Ohio Turnpike is back to normal following a massive pileup about halfway between Toledo and Cleveland on Wednesday that left three people dead.
The State Highway Patrol says the toll road was fully reopened today after a series of crashes involving about 40 vehicles that resulted in two separate pileups.
Bulldozers worked into Friday clearing tractor-trailers and debris left behind on a two-mile stretch of the eastbound lanes southwest of Sandusky.
The patrol said an injured trooper who was pinned between two vehicles during the crashes had surgery Saturday and was recovering.
The accidents were triggered by a late-winter storm that swept through the Midwest and Northeast this week.

CLEMSON - It only took a week for Clemson to usher in its new senior women's administrator.
Natalie Gonzalez, who previously oversaw Yale football and served in an associate or assistant athletic director role there the past six years, will oversee Clemson's women's Olympic sports, taking over for Barbara Kennedy-Dixon.
Before Yale, Gonzalez worked in the athletic department at Florida, from where she she earned an undergraduate degree in 2003 and her Masters in sport management in 2005.
"Natalie is a talented and energetic administrator, and through her experience at both Yale and Florida has shown to be an exceptional leader and communicator," Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich said in a statement.
On July 15, Kennedy-Dixon stepped down from her position of Senior Women's Administrator she had held the past 10 years. She will now take on a part-time position as special assistant to Radakovich.
"In recent years I began considering retirement options, and last year I started pursuing those options. I will always have a passion for Clemson athletics and its continued success, and I look forward to this new role," said Kennedy-Dixon, a former Clemson women's basketball player who is in the school's Ring of Honor. "This opportunity will allow me to remain as a valuable resource at Vickery Hall and also to support the new Senior Women's Administrator."

King Edward Point Diary — December 2002
New arrivals and Christmas
King Edward Point Diary
Along with the new came old faces too in the shape of Pat and Sarah, returned in fine form from their holidays and a pit-stop visit from Jenny Scott who spent last summer with us, mapping the vegetation of South Georgia (SG) and who is now an expedition leader on one of the cruise ships. Other new entries to our tranquil spot were Molly Sheridan, an artist here for a few months to recreate the beauty of SG, and Pete Bucktrout, a BAS photographer/cameraman, intent on capturing the vivacity of life at KEP or at least capture us mumbling something about our work here.
So, summer was definitely here with base members almost trebled in number and King Edward Point marina taking full advantage of the peak tourist season. On one day alone, four ships came alongside, each waiting in turn, and regaling departees with horn-blowing that echoed around the mountains. Europa, a restored bark, a type of tallship from the Netherlands, was eagerly awaited and created a stunning sight coming into King Edward Cove. Unfortunately, there was not enough wind for her to sail in. An invite aboard was gladly accepted that night in a setting from days of yore. The BAS ship, RRS Ernest Shackleton, was back in the area, for its summer season of resupply of various bases. It did a little bit of running between Bird Island and here, swapping people around and did, much to our disgust, steal Andy Cope away to Bird Island. We got Pete and his camera instead. Hmmm.
The Falkland Islands fishery patrol vessel, Sigma, a regular visitor to us over the last two years, made, perhaps, her last visit for us outgoing crew, and took Richard and Miranda, the outgoing marine officer and post-mistress back to Stanley, another sad parting with good friends. HMS Endurance visited and brought Mark Jessop, a former Bird Islander, who has landed himself what one might call, a plum job, photographing various penguin colonies around the island from Endurance's helicopter. A few of us climbed up the side of Mt. Duse that morning to watch the entertainment provided by their two helicopters taking ship's personnel off in various trips round the island. Endurance also dropped off former Brigadier, David Nicholls, and Steve Ellis, to survey Discovery House, which was restored last summer, for its potential as a visitor's centre, linking the research which concentrated mainly on the biology of whales in the early 1900's to the science being conducted today, by us. Throw in the start of the icefish fishing season with trawlers coming in to pick up licenses, various cruise ships and yachts and you'll understand why our suggestion of Discovery House as an offshore, paparazzi-free casino makes a lot of sense!
Handover began with gusto as we bombarded our new arrivals with information ranging from fish chopping, to where we keep the toilet paper, to boat training, to how to make bread at six in the morning and a meal for 20 odd people that evening in three easy steps, to being introduced to the various intricacies that make-up the techno side of our world. And everywhere we went, Pete, and his camera went too. Amazing how used you can get to a camera following you around and I think we were all getting the hang of it. We had stopped turning instantly red and going blank when asked what we had actually been doing for the last two years of our lives and some wonderfully eloquent, evocative descriptions of today's world and our work here were falling easily from our lips yet Pete quite often insisted on retakes! The man had patience. Apart from the work and base life, part of the handover is the way to some of the local beauty spots. A sunny, hot day called for a trip to Maiviken where I think all were blown away by the awesome wildlife that lives there, fur seals, elephant seals, gentoo penguins, sooty albatross..... Certainly impressive were John and Andy Godsell, the new genny mech and electrician, braving the snow-trek in their shorts! Some boat trips to glaciers also went towards whetting appetites for the winter ahead.
Within all the "hecticness", we created more with a chance to have a break from work being welcomed with relish. First up was the Shackleton's first call celebration, a barbeque with the entire population of South Georgia, the ship's crew and all ingoing people to Halley. Suzi, one of the new scientists, celebrated her birthday with a 'water' themed fancy dress party. Two young royal marines who were helicoptered in that morning to do some tide gauge work entered into the spirit and donned tussoc grass skirts! Irene produced another barbeque to celebrate midsummer's day (December 21st) and Molly disappeared for a few days of sketching around the coast aboard Polar Bound a cruise boat with which her owner and skipper, David Cowper has single-handedly circumnavigated the globe five times. Good job because they needed to be back in time for Christmas, and they were.
Meanwhile, a few of us went through to visit Pat and Sarah. Then, it was time to chat to Bird Island by radio who were definitely having a good day and were definitely going to watch 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' that afternoon. It was getting on so time to start cooking. Luckily, Howie had put the bird in earlier so accompanied by Rich's choice of 'Chaz and Dave's Cockney Christmas', we cooked up a storm, a quick dress change, and then we ate up a storm. Five, six, maybe eight courses later, we found Rich funny as he started some after dinner jokes. This was picked up by others and we soon had ourselves some old-fashioned, after-dinner entertainment that I like to think Shackleton and his men might have enjoyed. The jokes certainly were old enough. After a big meal, there's nothing we like more here than a big dance, so we danced until dawn with some especially fine dancing from our unexpected guests, the above mentioned former brigadier and the captain of the Endurance.
Most of us were woken up on Boxing Day by an excited Sue who, after meeting a former King Edward Pointer, Scobie Pye, and hearing of their footballing days was determined to kick-start that tradition, taking on the Endurance as our first opponents. Suitably, togged out in some of Howie (Trotter's) merchandise ('better hurry up, medium are selling fast...') and sponsored by the South Georgian Government, KEP put on a fine performance, took the game to them, showed mettle, some fine goalkeeping, all to play for in the second half and were robbed with a final score of 4-2 to Endurance. No time for post-match commentary, as Endurance were leaving and taking Andy Smith home via Bird Island. One of the original group leaving was felt by us all. Andy is the calm, easy-going one that every group needs. Throughout the two years he looked out for everyone in his subtle way, never could be risen (and we tried) and never lost patience with the continuous 'Oh Andeee....?' whenever we needed help with our latest projects. We all know we were very lucky to have him in our midst. And to show him how much he meant to us we heralded him, and Pete, away with a spectacular YMCA dance routine, hard hats included!
Back to work the next day and it was all hands on deck, quite literally, as the final push came to get Quest, our inshore fishing boat, ready for her return to the sea. A long day and tides were looking good for the following day. A smooth operation soon saw Quest and Howie reunited, buoyantly. Fishing operations were due to recommence in the new year but first there was the little matter of New Year's Eve to get through!
For the celebrations, various people created their own "theme bars" to add variety to the evening. Smart dress was the order of the day and everyone managed to scrub-up well. The evening began in Tim and Pauline's 'Penguin and Elephant' pub before a visit to the Oosterschelde, another Dutch tallship. Then it was a big "Happy New Year" over the radio to our colleagues on Bird Island who although only up the coast from us are two hours ahead so at 10 o'clock our time they were hugging each other merrily in their superhero costumes. (Read all about it in their December diary).
Onwards to Pat's (remarkably tidy!) 'Bachelor Pad' seeing as Sarah was away at Husvik with Molly, David, Alisdair and Irene. A quick drink at Sue's 'The Cavity' dentristy-style pub before gathering on the deck of the Oosterschelde for midnight. Flares, champagne and three kisses each from all the Dutch made it a memorable moment especially for our stubble-rashed cheeks although some of our boys managed to avoid this by backing away from the friendly sailors and extending their arms for firm handshakes. The celebrations finished in the "nightclub" (boatshed) where an excellent night's dancing was enjoyed by all.
