The singer-songwriter—still going strong nearly 60 years after his first hit—discusses his craft, explains why he'll never retire and recalls how a bizjet helped him fill a concert request from Vladimir Putin. Singer/songwriter Paul Anka admits that he may have been the unlikeliest of pop stars when he burst onto the musical stage in the 1950s. "I was short, stocky, had a big nose and was far from the mold of the matinee-idol type," says the artist, who turned 74 in July. But what he may have lacked in looks, he made up in talent.

These days, everyone in the aviation field talks about composite aircraft. Boeing's 787 Dreamliner is made mostly of carbon fiber composites, and the percentage of composite content in new business jet designs is on the rise. Over time, carbon fiber may, indeed, replace metal as the material of choice for aircraft. But how did we get here?

An aircraft buyer waiting for delivery of his new Gulfstream G650 once complained that the manufacturer "wasn't promoting instant gratification." Who could blame him? The scheduled delivery was eight years away. With a wait like that if you don't have another aircraft that you don't mind flying for the better part of a decade, you might as well buy one to tide you over.

Collingwood Arts Center to host Aug. 6 poetry eventWritten by Jason Mack | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Poets from across the nation are gathering in Toledo for a festival hosted by a pair of literary magazines. Zygote in My Coffee and Red Fez are teaming to host "Zygote in My Fez" at the Collingwood Arts Center on Aug. 6. The event is co-sponsored by Toledo Free Press Star.
"It will be one of the bigger things that has come to Toledo, especially in terms of underground poetry," said John Dorsey, program director for the Collingwood Arts Center. "I'm expecting about 200 people here, maybe more. They'll be coming from all over the country. Most of the audience we get will be people who are really hardcore about it, but I'm hoping we get some new people that have never seen something like this."
Red Fez is an online publication featuring poetry, fiction, nonfiction, illustrations and other works. Leopold McGinnis, who founded Red Fez Publications in 2002, will be traveling from Canada to attend the festival. Editor in Chief Michele McDannold lives in Chicago and runs the day-to-day operations for the monthly online magazine, and Toledo resident Michael Grover is the head poetry editor.
Zygote in My Coffee was founded in December 2003 by Brian Fugett while he was a photographer in San Jose, Calif. It started out focused on poetry and has grown to include fiction, comic strips and anything underground. It used to follow a weekly format but it is now published twice a year online.
"The idea for the event started back on Feb. 5," Fugett said. "I was at a big poetry reading. I started having IM conversations with Michele McDannold. Just kind of joking, we said we should start our own poetry reading, like an annual event, later in the summer. We decided to call it 'Zygote in My Fez.' It started off as a fun little idea like that, and it blossomed into this big thing in Toledo now. We didn't think it was going to happen."
Part of getting the festival off the ground was finding a location. Fugett didn't know where to host the event until Dorsey offered his venue for the festival.
"We were originally going to have it in Dayton, but there isn't a good venue for it," Fugett said. "John Dorsey offered the Toledo area and we went for it. I'd prefer to have it in Northern Ohio anyway. The Toledo and Cleveland areas are prime for poetry and the arts. The ball has been rolling ever since we picked the venue up there."
Dorsey, a Toledo Free Press Star contributor. thinks the theater in the Collingwood Arts Center is the perfect venue for the festival.
"The acoustics are great," Dorsey said. "It's large, but it's still intimate at the same time. It isn't too big. You aren't playing to a baseball stadium. I've been in theaters that size before. Some of these people haven't read publicly before, even though they've been published in the magazines. It's kind of good to have a smaller space because you don't want it to be too intimidating for them."
Dorsey is performing at the event alongside several local poets, but he is excited to see performances from poets across the country.
"What Toledo doesn't have is poets coming in from all over the place," he said. "Typically that doesn't happen here. You can't make that much money doing it. If you come in, you're going to end up losing money paying for travel. Michael Grover and I have been doing a reading series here for a couple of years. On a monthly basis, we bring in people from all over the place. It's nothing new to us for this to happen, but this is the largest scale we've done here."
One poet Dorsey is particularly looking forward to seeing is Dan Smith from Cleveland.
"He will have a band with him called the Cleveland Trio, although it might be a quartet now since they added a saxophone," Dorsey said. "He's great. His topics are about being a working-class guy in Cleveland and the history of poetry there. The history of poetry in Cleveland is wild. There are venues where a band can't get two people but a poet can get hundreds, and a band will get booed off the stage. That would never happen here, but it would be nice. He is part of the Rust Belt. He's definitely an Ohio guy."
Dorsey and other fans looking forward to Smith won't have to worry about anything keeping him from his time slot.
"Once he was supposed to read somewhere, but he had a massive heart attack the day before," Dorsey said. "He stil showed up the next day. They let him out of the hospital and he went straight over there. The guy is hardcore."
The event will feature readings by 25 poets from across the country and Canada, ranging from Paul Corman-Roberts in Oakland, Calif., to Lester Allen in Ithaca, N.Y.
Corman-Roberts is looking forward to meeting many of his co-workers face-to-face for the first time.
"The Internet is an amazing thing," he said. "You get to know people you don't have regular contact with. Some of these folks I've been working with for years and have never met them in person. I'm incredibly excited."
"It's a great idea, not just for Toledo but for poetry in the surrounding areas in general," Toledo poet Craig Firsdon said. "Having great poets from across the United States come here is something you don't see too much. I'm looking forward to it. It's great for the art community. I don't know of any other place that has done anything like this in recent memory."
Fugett will emcee the festival and doesn't plan to perform, but he said you never know what to expect at events like this.
"If worse comes to worst and I get tipsy enough, I might read something," he said. "Maybe I'll read my own poetry in the voice of John Dorsey or Michael Grover. I'd definitely have to be inebriated for that."
If that happens, it will fall right in line with Grover's expectations for the event.
"Somebody is going to do something really crazy," Grover said. "I guarantee it."
Dorsey said he agrees with Grover. He warned anyone attending to "expect a circus." He believes most of the audience will be hardcore poets, but he encourages newcomers to check out the festival, even if only briefly.
"If you want to come in for 20 minutes or come in for the whole thing, that's fine by us," he said. "We'd rather someone come in for a brief period than not at all."
The festival will run from 4 to 10 p.m. with four poets performing every hour. Red Fez will sell copies of its first ever print edition, Red Reader No. 1, at the festival. Fugett will be at the festival handing out copies of the latest edition of Zygote in My Fez.
Following the festival is a public afterparty hosted by Toledo Free Press Star at the Blarney Bullpen featuring an open mic. The afterparty runs from 10 p.m. to close.
"We're going to have an open mic for anybody who wanted to be a part of this but couldn't get on the main list," Dorsey said. "We had so many people that wanted to be a part of this. There were people that got angry because they couldn't do it. This list filled up within a week of posting we were doing it."
The Collingwood Arts Center is located at 2413 Collingwood Blvd. Blarney Bullpen is located at 601 Monroe St.
Visit www.RedFez.net/ZyFez for a full list of poets performing. The festival is free and open to the public.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
The Harwood Union girls' varsity field hockey team is off to its best start in years under the direction of their new head coach Heidi Hill. Hill who's no stranger to The Valley, was a former Harwood varsity field hockey player and has been the coach of the Milton High School field hockey team for the last eight seasons before taking the reins at Harwood Union.
Harwood has compiled victories that included two wins over U-32 as well as wins over Burlington, Milton, Montpelier and Monday's thrilling 2-1 overtime win against rivals Mount Abraham, who defeated Harwood in the conference playoffs last year.
Solid goal tending by sophomore net-minder Chelsea Delphia has been a key component to the Highlander's continued success, as she has posted an impressive four shutouts in the first six games she has started. Also, a solid group of veterans including seniors Abby Zarotny, Becky Werner, Eloise Reid, Mallory Hebert and Britney Hoare as well as a new crop of younger players that include freshman Jill Pierce and sophomores Sophie Lisaius and Sarah Reid have all played a major role in keeping the team on their winning track.
In the September 15 nail-biting contest with Mount Abraham, Harwood senior Mallory Hebert drilled one by the Eagles' stellar goalie Jesseca Wendel, giving the Highlanders the early 1-0 lead, and the all important positive momentum. The Highlanders continued to test the Eagles' goalie as they out-shot their opponents 12 shots to 9. With 19:44 left in the game, the Eagles tied it up 1-1. Despite intense pressure from both offenses and a highly enthusiastic crowd cheering their teams on, neither squad was able to put it away and claim victory in regulation, so the game ended in a tie, and went into a 10-minute sudden death overtime.
Both teams kept up the pressure, and each goalie denied several excellent scoring opportunities. As the clock ticked down to only 14 seconds remaining in the overtime period, Harwood made one last push towards the Mount Abraham goal, and after the Eagles' goalie made yet another great save, sophomore Sarah Reid pounced on a rebound in front of the net and beat Wendel when she buried the ball in the far corner of the net giving Harwood the victory.
"It was a great game," Harwood coach Heidi Hill said. "Both teams played very well. Our team let up a bit after their goal, but we kicked in gear for the seven-on-seven OT. It was great to see how they played."
The Highlanders next take on Milton at home Thursday, September 19, at 4 p.m., then travel to face archrival Stowe on Saturday, September 20, at 2 p.m.

Discussion in 'The Bar' started by big faggy, Dec 27, 2012.
time, how awful was it for you?
If I see them first, I turn the other way.
Most of them have gotten fat.
When I go back home I'm scared to death I'm going to run into people and I'll see them whispering to each other how fat I've gotten.
I do the same. I have done the most akward stuff to get away from them.
Like the av.
My friend was actually fatter than me but she has had a couple of kids, but is also waaaaaaaaaaaaay more successful than I will ever be, so it evens out I guess? Why does fat matter so much.
I don't do that.
I refused to create a facebook account until I lost seventy pounds.
I saw an old girlfriend recently, she looked like the Cookie Monster
I mostly avoid, unless cornered...like they say, there's a reason you aren't friends anymore...doesn't take long to remember why
Most of them look like my grandmother
I like it. I go to the reunions every 5 years and have a blast
Time has been great to me.
"Oh good. Satori is here again."
"Did he ask you to arm wrestle yet?"

I am a senior in high school planning on majoring in Computer Science in college. I have been programming for a number of years. However, I have no idea how I stack up to professionals. What would be a way for me to measure my skills in specific languages? I currently use Java, C#, Ruby, and C.

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Try answering a few questions on StackOverflow. You'll find out soon enough. On second thought, never mind. I can't answer most of the questions on StackOverflow.
Don't compare yourself to others. The only real metric is "Do I have enough credentials to land a job." The rest is just a continuum of learning. Everyone's skill sets are different. Just keep learning.
As to whether or not you have good skills in a particular language, try building a non-trivial, working application. You can judge the quality of the application a number of ways:
And so on.
Join a team that does a real project. This is the best way.
You don't need to test it, it will test itself.
When I got my first/current job, I knew I can't compare to anyone I was working with. So I simply did my best and hoped for the best. Turns out I managed to prove myself - or so I was told/shown in different ways. Whether this is true or not, I can't really say objectively.
Just do what you do best, and sooner or later you will get feedback, whether you want it or not:
Having said all that, always try to surround yourself with people better than you, if you can. Don't ever miss an opportunity to learn from other people, especially their mistakes! ;)
Also try to read some of these, I just started going through the list myself, and I can't recommend it enough.
Don't worry about your knowledge now, worry about how much you learn each day!
Programmer competency matrix has some ideas if you want a kind of ballpark to some degree.
There are various high levels pieces to a program. How well can you break things down? How well do you understand various layers that exist within using abstract constructs and ideas? These are some of the things that the matrix addresses by putting things into a few levels that may help determine what you know well and what you may want to consider studying.
I completely agree with the already chosen answer. But just to add, if you just want some ARTIFICIAL metric on how much you know, just find some certifications on the languages you know and do a couple of mock tests. Other than that, I think that the best and most edifying way to test your knowledge is to have a conversation with someone who's already working in industry.

ADDitude Magazine, a publication whose target audience is individuals whose lives are impacted by ADHD, recently published an article about the "long-term obsessions" of some children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Based on the comments posted by online readers, the author's perspective resonated with a number of parents of ADHD youth. By "mastering their one-track minds," parents and caregivers can harness ADHD youth's enthusiasm and guide them in using their interests as a vehicle to unlock their learning potential.
For these youth, their interests go beyond the typical "phases" that many children experience while growing up. Most children do, in fact, establish interests that are generally age-appropriate, peer-related hobbies and activities that are eventually replaced by "the next big thing." However, for the ADHD child, the interests run deep and the level of detail into which they delve is extraordinary. ADHD youth with long-term obsessions immerse themselves in the topic, learning all they can about the subject using a remarkable number of resources available to them. They are also able to pass the knowledge on to others with fluency and cognizance.
It was once thought that individuals with ADHD were unable to maintain focus on a topic. However, more recent clinical research indicates that their inability to focus is situational. In fact, it is now recognized that individuals with ADHD are more inclined to sustain focus on activities that are of strong personal interest to them. It is this proclivity to hyper-focus on topics of interest that allow the ADHD brain to absorb and retain the information it gathers related to the topic with indescribable capability.
Parents, caregivers, teachers and other adults in the lives of ADHD youth have a responsibility to help them find the interest that taps into their remarkable capacity to learn. Harnessing this interest is a key component to setting them on a path for success. Many ADHD youth struggle in school, the typical setting in which learning is "expected" to occur. However, for ADHD youth, the process of learning often occurs in a different setting or through a different conduit. The challenge for parents, caregivers and teachers is to find ways to merge school-based learning with the ADHD youth's capacity to absorb knowledge about topics of interest. This task is difficult, but not impossible, and most importantly, it is a crucial step in the growth of the ADHD youth into a successful adult. Adults close to ADHD youth often say, "I can't wait to see what he is going to be when he grows up. Our challenge, and our greatest reward, is helping him get there."

Reception: Friday, August 9, 7 - 9 pm
Artist's Statement: Shundo David Haye
Light and dark oppose one another like the front and back foot in walking.
—from the Sandokai (translation)
Any photograph has to be an amalgam of light and dark. I am most interested in the fleeting juxtapositions, brief interstices where light shines as a vivid moment of impermanence, which is nonetheless a moment of reality; where shapes arrange in a brief illusion of coherence, which is nonetheless a moment of form.
Cadsonbury Oak__________
Shundo David Haye came from England to Zen Center to begin his practice in 2000. Since then he has lived at City Center and Tassajara, following the traditional monastic training path. He has served as work leader at Tassajara, tenzo (head of the kitchen) and ino (head of the meditation hall) at City Center, and currently holds the position of director at City Center. He was ordained as a priest in 2009 by Ryushin Paul Haller, and was head monk at Tassajara in the fall of 2012.

Saturday, September 14, 2013
A concerned citizen called police to report a hit and run in her neighborhood. She explained to the officer that a female had been driving the car and she got out and started walking father into the neighborhood. Police ran the tag and the owner lived at a nearby address. They went to the residence and the person who answered the door was extremely uncooperative. The officer could smell booze on her breath. She said she had not been driving but her roommate had and that the roommate was not there. After questioning her and not getting anywhere, the suspect told police she was willing to go to jail for her friend. She said she was protecting her because the roommate had a newborn child.
After some convincing the owner of the vehicle appeared at the door to speak with the officer.
She too had an odor of alcohol coming from her breath.
A witness positively identified her as the driver and said he wanted to pursue charges.
This suspect said she had no idea what happened and had no idea where her car was.
However, her father arrived on the scene and told police his nephew had called him and said his daughter had been in an accident.
The roommate again admitted that her friend was driving and she was just trying to protect her.
The roommate was charged with interfering with officers, and the driver was charged with leaving the scene.

Please educate me on barrels.
I wanted chrome lined, but locally all I can find is chrome-moly.
Also, I'm hearing rumors that nitride is better than either.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Please educate me on barrels.
I wanted chrome lined, but locally all I can find is chrome-moly.
Also, I'm hearing rumors that nitride is better than either.
Inquiring minds want to know.
the advantage of chrome lined barrels is that they drop the pressure which the ar-15 is very sensitive to. they also help with extraction of spent cases. the hard chrome lining helps barrels last longer. this is really helpful with some of the somewhat wear prone one in seven inch twist barrels.
lastly they clean up easy.
the disadvantage is they cost a bit more to make.
regular 4140 moly is just a regular barrel steel it will last a long long time with the most often used twist rate on one turn in 9 inches. it has an advantage is it is less difficult to cut the rifling in the 4140 than harder 4150 which makes for slightly better accuracy in theory. without the chrome they are finished a little more rough in the chamber. i have about as many ar-15 types with the 4140 without the chrome and they all function fine.
so the chrome is not a have to thing but it is nice to have IMHO.
stainless steel is also used for barrels. it is usually the most accurate though being a bit softer it wears a bit quicker. it should last plenty long on a sporting rifle.
the nitride is a type of finish --i figure the exterior finish is better--now about the bore i can't say as i haven't owned any nitride barrels. i would not rule it out as being a very good barrel though.
any of these should give years of accurate shots. the one that is best depends on what your use of the firearm is. tack-driver target shooting go with the stainless. survival-military get the chrome lined. all around use the moly or nitrite should do the job well.
Chrome barrels are smoother inside, so they clean easier, and cases extract easier. Fouling doesn't stick as easily too. I haven't heard of nitrided barrels, just TiN coating on tools, and that does nothing that I can tell...
Thanks guys, the nitride barrels are what DSA is now using on thier firearms.
I'm starting to lean towards an Armalite upper.
Everything previously stated is correct. I will add the following:
Chrome-lined barrels are slightly less accurate due to the increased bore size that is required prior to the chrome-lining process. This also helps with the barrel's longevity. What the real difference is? No clue. Yes it makes a difference in accuracy beyond 200 meters. But not by much. Maybe an MOA. Maybe less. Chrome is more slick than steel, and copper, salts, and other fouling does not stick to it. Again, previous statements are all correct. This is one reason why the AK and SKS are both so reliable and idiot friendly.
Chrome-Moly is a reference to the alloy of the steel, again as previously stated. It's only real vulnerability is fouling. And some fouling is more corrosive than other fouling. Refer to barrel condition descriptions of "bright and shiney", "frosty", or "dark". These indicate various levels of corrosion damage. This type of barrel is usually the most accurate, all other factors remaining equal.
"Nitride" barrels are essentially the same as Chrome-Moly, but have undergone a plating process that creates a very tough surface strength. The obvious result is that is wears very well, and is purported to be very durable. The claim most often used is increased accuracy over a longer period of time. I tend to agree with this assessment since the "Nitride" process of surface hardening has been used in the performance automotive industry for better than 30 years for things like bearing surfaces, gears, and the like.
This is my opinion:
Chrome-Moly is the best all-around for sporting and general use. Think M-1 Garand or M-14, Mauser or Springfield 1903, SMLE or Mosin-Nagant. With "modern" non-corrosive primers, these barrels will last between 20,000 to 50,000 rounds with moderate loss of accuracy. The part of the barrel that wears out the fastest is at the throat, just beyond the chamber. With these "older" rifle designs, the barrel could be removed, and set-back a few thousands of an inch, and re-chambered during an arsenal re-build to restore accuracy. After WWII, this practice was essentially abandoned due to cost. A lot of the "Captured" Mausers from from the former Soviet Union were re-arsenaled in just this fashion, along with having markings obliterated, and being re-blued. The concept of counter-boring the muzzle has been well discussed on this forum, and will eliminate accuracy issues due to muzzle erosion or misuse of a cleaning rod. I have resuscitated a number of old Mosins, Enfields, and Mausers in this fashion, using a combination of these methods, returning factory or even better than factory accuracy to a 50+ year old dinosaur.
Chrome is Chrome. It is cool. It is tough. It is slick. It is somewhat more loose in terms of internal dimensions because it has to be bored and rifled a few thousandths larger than a standard barrel to compensate for the thickness of the chrome-plate. These barrels will take upwards of 40,000 rounds before losing significant accuracy. I have accurized many SKS rifles by simply setting the barrel back a few thousandths of an inch, and squaring the barrel shoulder and the receiver shoulder. In most cases, I do not have to adjust the chamber depth, in some cases, I have had to machine a new locking shoulder to adjust the head-space. I am sure that some of the "old-dogs" are spinning their heads around in a circle. Try it. I have yet to blow a case.
I have yet to actually shoot a known Nitride treated barrel. The possible exception would be late-model M-14 rifles that were selected for Counter Sniper rifles in the late 1970's and early 1980's, or purpose built early M-21 rifles. I have no certain knowledge of either from a design or armorers standpoint. Only as an end-user. If anyone knows for sure, I would like to know what you know. I could find no evidence of chrome-lining in these barrels.
That is my $ 0.02 with inflation.
Comments very welcome!!!
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower
From what I understand nitride treatment basically results in a surface hardening of ~ 60 Rockwell. A file will have a very difficult time harming this treatment as the hardness of the barrel will be very close to a diamond on the C scale. Essentially this makes the surface (bore, port, chamber, outside...) almost impervious to corrosion and exceedingly wear resistant. It is also very lubricious. Since it is not a plating like chrome, it will not adversely affect accuracy. Glock, Sig, and others have been using this process for sometime. In theory one can take a 4140 steel barrel and nitride it and it should perform the same as a nitride treated 4150 steel barrel as both hardness level will be the same. The only negative thing I have found with this process on AR barrels is that if one is assembled into the barrel extension incorrectly, the barrel may actually unscrew from the extension. The lubricity and hardness make the indexing pin installation critical.
Mortismaker, That is interesting thanks for the info. I wonder if the "Max hard" (or whatever they called them) barrels that Olympic arms were selling about 10-15 years ago were nitride treated. They were supposed to be very hard and have a longer barrel life.

iLuv Casual Fabric Case for iPad - quick look
The iLuv Casual Fabric iPad Case with Band Clip for iPadis a pouch-style enclosure that you can use to keep all that precious glass and aluminum tucked away safe and sound.
The iLuv case itself is snug. I could shake it -- gently -- upside down with only minor panic that it might slip out. However, with the velcro belt in place it's locked in. Shake away!
The outside is durable fabric and slightly padded. It will prevent bumps and scrapes but I wouldn't want to risk drops, especially not high ones. The inside is lined with soft, plush material to really pamper your iPad. This is a great case for those who like to carry around their iPad in their brief case or backpack and do not want to worry about it being scratched or damaged.
Black with orange, pink with purple, and beige with blue are your color choices. It is quite a stylish pouch case, though I do feel that it holds appeal more to the female audience.
Take a look at the video for more. iLuv Casual Fabric iPad Case with Band Clip for iPad is available from the TiPb iPad Accessory Store.

iLuv Casual Fabric Case for iPad - quick look
Georgia is so hot, I could watch her review different kinds of paperclips.
i think the review would benefit with less clothes.
Nice review Georgia, good piece of writing. Short and to the point, as it should(usually) be. However, after just a passing glance, I will say, as a guy, the only color I would consider is the black w/orange. And probably wouldn't get that one anyone because I'm not an orange guy, but that's just me - yellow is better. However, I would be willing to bet money no (straight) man will be ordering pink with purple or beige with blue unless as a gift.
Overall, the two things stopping me from getting this are one, no iPad. So TiPb, send me an iPad and I'll buy this. The other thing stopping me is the color, though the sleeve looks cool. Would be nice to have a really good solution to the whole typing thing w/out a physical keyboard, cause the instore iPads I've tried typing on don't cut it. Thoughts anyone?
I hope Rene and/or Dieter can work out a deal with iLuv to get a custom case with "ChadLuv" engraved on it instead!
Errrrrrrrrr...........what did she say?
Georgia is smokin!

Back Workout
I am hoping that someone out there can help me. I have been working out for a while now and have seen some great results everywhere except my back. For some reason, it just doesn't develop as well as my other muscle groups.
When I go light, I can really concentrate on the muscles and feel the contractions but, obviously, I can do way more than 8-12 reps. When I go heavier, my arms always tire before my back. I was just wondering what you all do for back workouts.
Re: Back Workout
look this
Re: Back Workout
I hear 'ya about the arms giving out, and don't really know what to tell you except to somehow push through it. My back is one of the areas I'm pretty happy with, and I always go heavy. Sometimes my biceps get tired before my back, but where I really feel it by the end of my back workout is in my elbow joint for some reason. (Yes, my form is good! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img])
The only thing I know to do is just keep pushing myself through the tired arms to crank out as many reps as I can before I fail. My sets are typically 10/8/6.
You might check the exercise tab up top and peruse all the stuff for back. Maybe there are some there that are less taxing on the arms that would allow you to lift heavier. I'm sure others will chime in here as well, so you might as well read that section while you're waiting for more responses!
Good luck! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

from Gladwin, Michigan
About Me Education Oriented, Grandparent, Homeschooling
Comments about BBQ Blitz!®:
Pieces are very solid, durable, and impressively high quality--even the cardboard "plates" have stood up to an obsessive 4 year old for hours and still look brand new! The box is part of the game (leaving a smaller environmental footprint!) The game comes with instructions, and a list of variations, to ensure that you can add some spice to the game as the child grows.Helps with memory, and fine motor skills and she just LOVES to play with it! I am so very happy that I purchased this game--it is just perfect for her at 4 years old!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Occupational Therapist
I am a pediatric occupational therapist, and I love this game! I've used this game with diverse populations in various settings (school-based, early intervention, and in community integration programs); it's a big hit! My clients frequently request to play this game, and they are motivated to play it multiple times! I've used it to develop visual motor and perceptual skills, forearm control (palm-up to palm-down movements), and have modified it to target hand/finger strengthening.
My almost 3 year old loves this game!

About Me Education Oriented
I'm a speech-language pathologist and I use this game frequently with my students. They love it! It's probably one of the most requested games in my classroom. It's wonderful to play as it doesn't require a great amount of time. The only downside is that the box gets worn out over time from frequent use. Otherwise everything else is very durable. I even bought another one for my grandson's birthday!

Gift for my three year old grandson.First I played with just him and I and later his Mom and Dad joined us. We all enjoyed it!
Big Dissappoinment
By Peachy
from Grand Isle VT
My grandson loved Sneaky Snacky Squirrel so we were really looking forward to another fun and engaging game for a pre-reader. BBQ Blitz was really rather boring and didn't hold his interest at all. WE only played it once - and doubt that we will play it again. Very disappointing.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

A Graniteville bank robber could be heading back to prison after he allegedly committed a substantial number of violations of his supervised release.
Thomas R. Washington, 46, was sentenced to five years, 10 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for the 2007 attack on Security Federal Bank in Graniteville.
Washington was released from federal prison in April 2012, but could return after he was arrested for violating his supervision by using illicit substances, new criminal conduct, failure to participate in substance abuse counseling and failure to report a change of employment or residence.
On Oct. 17, Washington was arrested and charged with criminal domestic violence by the Columbia Police Department.
According to court documents, he tested positive for cocaine use on Oct. 22 and 24; Nov. 7, 8 and 15; and Dec. 4. He missed urinalysis testing on Dec. 10, 20 and 27, and Jan. 3 and 7. As part of his counseling, Washington missed sessions on Dec. 18, 20 and 27, and Jan. 7. Also, on Jan. 16, he quit his job with a fast-food restaurant and left his residence.
Each of these incidents could be considered a violation on their own. He now faces spending the remainder of his supervised release in prison.
Washington's crime was noted, at the time, for his use of an unwitting taxi to pick him up and play getaway driver. Authorities said Washington hired a taxi driver to take him from a motel off Gordon Highway in Augusta to the Security Federal in Graniteville. As the cab waited outside, Washington walked inside at about 9:15 a.m. and demanded money from a teller. He was handed cash, but spilled it as he fled the bank and into the cab. However, before he escaped, he was spotted by a member of the Graniteville Fire Department. Fire Chief Phil Napier and another firefighter followed the taxi and radioed the Aiken County Sheriff's Office. Soon afterward, Washington was arrested.

Twitter reacts to Beyonce's electrifying performance
Joined by her former group members from Destiny's Child, Beyonce's much anticipated performance at the Super Bowl XLVII half-time show was a ravishing success.

I have never submitted a review on menu pages, but feel compelled to do so as my experience with Friend House was so terrible. We ordered delivery at 10:28 pm and received an email confirming a 40 minute wait time. When our food had not arrived after one hour, we called the restaurant and the hostess told us that our food would arrive in ten minutes or less. An hour later, we still had not received our food. We tried calling the restaurant several times and were hung up on by the hostess before we could even ask about our food. The food finally arrived over two hours after we had ordered it, and it was so cold and smelly that it was inedible. I will never order from this restaurant again.

Earlier tonight I went to Friend House with some friends after work and had some of the most amazing drinks from the bartender there. We started with the Sake and Sapporo special and continued on with some Jameson and Mojitos. These guys know how to pour a drink!

Haven't been to friend house in a while and was pleasantly surprised by the new lights and layout. It seems that they are still in progress but looks food thus far. I went here today for happy hour, apparently they have a free hot sake special when you order a sapporo. I gave it a shot and for a guy who doesn't normally drink beer it was a good change of pace. The dinner there was also quite good, I think they may have gotten a new chef because it was far better than I remember.

I have been a long time fan of ths establishmnet but sadly to say the service and food quality have gone down the drain. I placed an order on Seamless web it too over 100 mins to arrive. I called twice and the first time the woman told me that my order was big and laughed another 45mins later I was told the order is out and that there is no way for them to track it but they would be willing to give me 10% off of my next order. I am in the business and am disgusted at the level of service and the way this was handled. Sadly like the review below they just lost another customer.
Posted by Kyle Salter on 03/14/2011
i have been going to friend house since i moved to the city 4 years ago and tonight will be the last time i take out or order delivery from them. unless you are dinning in, don't waste your time or money. they constantly screw up my to-go order to the point that i check my food before i leave because i am absolutely sure they've messed it up. tonight they messed up the order 3 times before they finally got it right. but what upsets me is not that i have to spend 10 extra minutes in the restaurant until i get my order right (i rated the atmosphere a 4 because it is nice inside). what upsets me is that the service is horrible. they don't apologize. they don't care. they constantly charge me way too much for a salmon avocado roll and seaweed salad and they don't even have the courtesy to say sorry for their ineptitude. they think they're too cool for school. well guess what, they aren't. unless you're greasing up your stomach before a night out on the town, forget about ordering from friend house.

Ordered my vegetables steamed (dietary restrictions) and they were sauteed heavily in oil. I called to check and ask for steamed ones and they swore that the vegetables were steamed. I'm looking at a pool of oil in the bottom of the container. Sushi was not very fresh. Going back to my local favorite for my delivery sushi from now on.

Q:Can this be used daily for dry hands?Asked on 7/14/2015 by Jen from Austin, tx
2 answers
A:This product is designed more for the cuticle area due to its rich properties, however if your hands are particularly dry I'd say go for it, just make sure you wont be doing much with your slippery hands for a bit, good luck!Answered on 7/28/2015 by Rachel from Midwest
A:Yes, you can definitely use it everyday!Answered on 7/17/2015 by Pauline
Q:Does it have an expiration date?Asked on 1/27/2013 by Alex from Chicago, IL
1 answer
A:Lemony Flutter, along with the majority of products that we carry, has a 14 month shelf life. The specific expiration date can be found on the face sticker on the product!Answered on 3/8/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:How long would this last if I use it everyday?Asked on 5/15/2012 by 11ttv
3 answers
A:For quite sometime if you're only using it on your cuticles. I'd say at least a year, maybe 18 months. I only use a little bit for each hand every night and I've hardly made a dent in my pot since getting it 3 months ago. If you're using it on your feet or tattoos, it will obviously disappear faster and I think it all really depends on how much you use. Regardless, it does tend to melt/spread on your skin really well and a little goes a long way so you shouldn't need too much for each application.Answered on 6/11/2012 by MintBerryCrunch from Bremerton, WA
A:I think it would probably last you a month or so. Depending on how much of it you put on.Answered on 6/19/2012 by Dev from Rochester, NY
A:A little bit of Lemony Flutter definitely goes a long way so you should definitely get long life out of it. We suggest using barely a pea size amount if you are using it as a cuticle cream, possibly a little bit more on larger areas of the body. If used according to these directions it should last you months.Answered on 8/30/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

In-depth series on problems and solutions in New York City.
The Cost of Our Water
June 2015
New York City has been protected from the water crises gripping other cities because of a massive watershed and a stunning network of reservoirs, tunnels, plants and pipes. But even that system faces challenges as infrastructure ages and pressure grows to address longstanding environmental issues. This joint City Limits-WNYC reporting project digs into the tensions, choices and costs behind the water in our lives.
Barriers to Getting Buff? Access to Exercise in the Bronx
May 2015
The chronic health woes of the Bronx, the borough with the highest rates of diabetes and obesity, are usually blamed on diet. But soda isn't the only determinant of health; sit-ups matter, too. City Limits' 2014-2015 Bronx Investigative Internship Program looked at how access to private gyms, bike lanes and physical education in schools affected the borough. The work was generously supported by the Simon Bolivar Foundation.
New York's Trash Challenge
May 2015
The more than 10,000 tons of garbage that New York City produces a day are taking a rising toll—in higher municipal spending, the city's carbon footprint, burdens on neighborhoods and impact on landfill communities from upstate to Kentucky. Can New York come up with a better way to take out the trash?
The Rap-Sheet Trap
March 2015
A society that prides itself on the rigorous prosecution of those who break the law is stunningly slipshod and careless when it comes to keeping those records straight. That's the finding of a team of reporters at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism who spent three months interviewing people caught up in the trap of rap-sheet errors, those who try to help fix them and those in charge of the records themselves.
Certificates of Confusion
February 2015
State law offers people convicted of crimes a way to demonstrate to employers, landlords, licensing agencies and others that they have paid their debt to society. But the difficulty in obtaining Certificates of Relief means that instead of a re-entry tool, they are just another obstacle for former inmates.
Justice Gets Evicted:
Bronx Housing Court Meets a City's Crisis
February 2015
A three-month City Limits investigation found that tenants in Bronx housing court are at a severe disadvantage facing their landlords in court, not only because legal advice and basic instruction remain elusive for most, but also because the system is overburdened—trying to keep up with a tide of housing need in a borough where rent levels and tenants' incomes are increasingly mismatched.
Bringing it Home: The Affordability Battles of 2015
From rent regulations renewal in Albany to decisions about the future of NYCHA to the roll-out of the mayor's plan for 200,000 units of subsidized housing, the first six months of 2015 will be a crucial test.
Monitoring the Monitors
January 2015
Growing out of construction scandals in the 1980s, private sector integrity monitors have become big business. They are supposed to prevent corruption and wrongdoing on major projects. With New York about to embark on a huge housing build, with billions worth of coastal protections to be constructed, with several major hospitals to be refurbished, the question is whether these privately paid watchdogs can be relied upon to police the public interest.
The Limits of Protection: A Child Welfare Reality Check
December 2014
Days after taking office, in the wake of two deaths of children known to the city's child welfare system, Mayor de Blasio called for more child-abuse reporting and stronger investigations. But the evidence suggests that ramping up enforcement won't dent child fatalities. Is another approach possible?
NYC's Battle Against Arson
May 2014
A key factor in the city's history, but largely left out of today's discussions of crime, arson has seen a dramatic decline in New York. But changes in investigative techniques and cuts to the city's arson investigation unit raise questions about whether intentional fire-setting is as rare as the statistics suggest.
Reading Room: Branch Libraries at a Crossroads
January-June 2014
Far from obsolete in the digital age, New York City's libraries are filling critical gaps: offering technology to low-income neighborhoods, a lifeline to immigrants, a safe space for after school. But public funding is down. How long before a lack of support undermines the library system?
Flaws in City's MWBE Program
December 2013
In 2005 New York City set out to reverse historic patterns of discrimination in contracting by adopting goals for the share of city procurement spending received by minority- and women-led businesses. Eight years later, in a project supported by LIU's George Polk reporting grants, we check on progress.
Lessons of Willets Point
November 2013
Queens' Iron Triangle saw one of the longest-running development disputes of the Bloomberg years and embodied many of the signatures of the mayor's approach to development—particularly a willingness to override the concerns of existing businesses and local residents in favor of City Hall's vision.
Placing Our Bets: Gambling in New York
October 2013
New York is on the verge of deciding where to allow casino gambling. But the state has long been in the business of drawing revenue from games of chance. This series looks at the winners and losers from the state's 46-year-old experiment with gaming.
Unequal NY
July-September 2013
As income inequality has grown nationwide and across New York State, the city has led the way—exposing its strengths and weaknesses, raising questions about fairness and social cohesion. This series explores the complex effects income inequality has on day to day life the five boroughs.
The Five-Borough Ballot
February-November 2013
To cover the 2013 municipal campaign, City Limits and City & State decided to focus not on the candidates, but on the voters. And we got to know them in the places they live, eat and drink.
The Class of 2013
October 2012-July 2013
Over one academic year, City Limits followed a few members of the class of 2013—the last under education reformer Mayor Bloomberg—to see how this group of young people navigated the final hurdles of their public school careers, and to look back with them on how the Bloomberg agenda appeared from a student's desk.
When Campaign Consultants Are Lobbyists, Too
May 2013
A handful of influential firms in New York State lobby elected officials while also serving as consultants for political campaigns, a practice that is legal but raises several ethical questions.
Brooklyn Borough Presidency
March 2013-January 2014
If independent, Brooklyn would be the fourth-largest U.S. city, with a mayor to speak for its people. Instead, its spokesperson is a borough president. What did Marty Markowitz had to say? How will his successor Eric Adams change the tune? (Published during the 2013 election season.)
Beyond Promises: Homelessness Under Bloomberg
March 2013
In 2004, Mayor Bloomberg pledged a comprehensive effort to dramatically reduce homelessness in New York. Today, more people live in shelters than ever before. Figuring out the ways in which the plan succeeded and how it failed might be crucial to giving the next mayor a chance to move beyond the crisis.
Broken Adoptions
January 2013
Sixteen years ago the federal government put new pressure on states to facilitate adoptions. But it never bothered to track how many of those adoptions fail. Now, there's increasing concern about children getting adopted out of foster care, then returning to it—and how that phenomenon challenges the web of social services that the child welfare system offers.
Gun Politics, Gun Profits
August-December 2012
In partnership with The Nation and the Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute, we explored the role of gun companies in the politics of gun control, both nationally and in New York.
Payday Loans
July 2012
New York State has one of the nation's toughest bans on payday lending, which involves small loans that come with high interest rates. But the ban hasn't stopped online lenders from operating in the Empire State. Is this online usury, or a case of the market connecting consumers with few options to a service they need?
The Epicenter of Stop and Frisk
June 2012
No precinct saw more police stops in 2011 than the 75th Precinct in East New York, Brooklyn. Within that sprawling district, one seven-by-nine block area was the site of more police encounters than anywhere else in the area. We spoke to residents about what life is like at the epicenter of a controversial law enforcement strategy.
Courting Crisis: NYC's Family Courts
June 2012
No court deals with society's problems on a more intimate level. But little attention is paid to the operation of Family Court, or its profound struggle to manage a challenging caseload with resources that stretch thinner every year. City Limits spent three months watching what happens in Family Court, day in and day out. This is what we saw.
The Phantom Landlord
March 2012
New York has long had a bumper crop of notorious landlords. But it's hard to peg Frank Palazzolo, a wealthy Westchester real estate operator, as a member of the worst-landlord club. That's because, even though the scores of buildings he was associated with teemed with violations and creaked in disrepair (in 2002 one of them was the scene of a fatal electrical fire), actual legal ownership of most of the properties was usually in the hands of others. A joint project with the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.
Three-Quarter Homes
March 2012
Three-quarters houses give people who are homeless, leaving prison or seeking substance-abuse treatment a place to stay, and government agencies indirectly fund them. But critics say the houses are unregulated, often overcrowded and sometimes abusive to the vulnerable people they serve.
April 2012
Whether we're breathing their exhaust or stuck behind one on an exit ramp, most New Yorkers hate trucks. But trucks' imprint on the city is complex: They don't cause most traffic, but they have a bigger environmental impact when they do. At the same time, they're essential to the city's economic function. There are lots of ideas for how to solve the truck problem. Will they deliver?
Participatory Budgeting
February 2012
Borrowing an experiment in direct democracy from Brazil, constituents in four City Council districts are getting a direct say in how $1 million of discretionary capital funding is spent. Will it work? Will it grow?
Campaign 2012: The Urban Agenda
January 2012
From Truman to Obama, from immigration in Detroit to housing in New Orleans, these articles look at how cities have fared in recent presidential races and the federal issues facing America's cities today.
Beyond CityTime: Private Consultants, Public Interest
November 2011
The past 10 years have seen a profound change not just in the amount New York City spends on outside contractors, but what they are being asked to do. Does the high price of these deals ensure reliability, or magnify risk?
Why Firefighters Die
September 2011
Time did not stop on September 11, 2001. The city soon went back to living and working and burning. The FDNY battled a quarter of a million structural fires in the decade after the twin towers fell. And it lost 11 men doing so. In the decade before 9/11, 21 firefighters perished on the job. Is New York doing enough to protect the bravest?
Remember Poverty?
July 2011
Fifteen years after federal welfare reform, five years after New York City embarked on a quest to reduce poverty, more Americans are poor than ever before and one in five New Yorkers remains below the poverty line. Yet poverty is absent from political debates and media headlines. Everyone, it seems, is tired of talking about poverty--except poor people.
Behind Bars: Sexual Abuse in NYS Prisons
March 2011
When surveyed anonymously in 2008 and 2009, 11 participating U.S. correctional facilities posted the highest rates of inmate alleged staff sexual abuse. Three were New York prisons.
Brooklyn: The Borough Behind The Brand
March 2011
No borough in the city—perhaps no other urban place in America—has the kind of name recognition that Brooklyn enjoys. And in the past 10 years, Brooklyn has embodied New York's boom, from the boutiques that dot once-gritty Red Hook to the luxury high-rises of Fort Greene. But does Brooklyn's cultural mystique—or the view from Red Hook or Fort Greene—reflect reality throughout the borough?
A Risky Play: Turf in NYC
September 2010
In 1998, New York City began installing synthetic turf fields in parks and playgrounds, saying the artificial material would be more durable than grass. But a City Limits investigation found that many turf fields are falling apart, and that health questions persist.
Prisoner's Dilemma: How New York City's bail system puts justice on hold
Fall 2007
Every year New York City detains thousands of people who are presumed innocent. They are pretrial detainees. They are the majority in city jails. And most of them are behind bars not because they are dangerous, but because they could not afford bail.

Wind: 6 mph
So contentious has the campaign become for political power in this country that every now and then somebody submits an appraisal that appears to have come from a distant planet.
The letter of Robin Lehman printed July 7 underscores a ton of myths about the Republican Party which can't go unanswered.
Republican's have no answers to our economic problems? Compared with the opposite party's record, that is an incredible statement.
The Democrats held super majorities in 2009 and 2010 in both houses of Congress and they also had a hope-and-change president in the White House. How many budgets have they passed in that time? Zero! Can you call that "compromise"? On the other hand, the GOP House adhered to its Constitutional mandate and passed two budgets this year. A major proposal by the Republicans going into 2012 is to cut spending, cap spending and balance the budget. That is what is called "a plan."
Compromise would begin when the Democratic-held Senate would approve a budget of its own that both parties can work on instead of complaining about "corporate jets."
If a Democrat's sole source of information is the Vermont media, which censors the news with a heavy hand, than I can understand why one is so fixated on tax cuts being the cause of our high, national unemployment. That's the myth. Here's the truth: The Bush tax cuts enacted in 2003 expanded the economy by about 8 million jobs. The Democrats present tenure has created a failed stimulus, crippling health bill and tons of regulation that retard investment and jobs creation.
The myth has become as bloated as a summertime tick. If our sluggish economy is the fault of George Bush, and it has grown far worse since he left office, than why do we need Barack Obama? Bush's debt record was admittedly poor. The debt doubled during his eight years, averaging about $607 billion a year. Obama's debt is a staggering $1.723 trillion a year in only two and one-half years, more than $1 trillion a year than Bush's.
Democrats are so bereft of ideas on how to solve the nation's money problems that they surrender to the demagoguery of simpletons, e.g., Republicans' budget cutting will destroy Medicare and Social Security. (There goes granny over the cliff.) That's the myth. Ask yourselves which party has the guts to try to restructure these monstrous entitlements. If we continue down the path laid out by Obama and the Democrats, there will be no Social Security; there will be no Medicare.
With their continued, drunken spending sprees, the selfish, cruel and inhuman Democrats will destroy the future of their own children. I can easily make the argument that Democrats eat their young. Oops, that's demagoguery.
The national scene is bad enough. God help us if the rest of the country adopts the political philosophy of Democrats in Vermont. The big single-payer health care bill was approved so casually this year, we can put off worrying about how to finance it until 2014. In the meantime, Vermont businesses are holding off hiring new employees until somebody gives them some figures.
Two Vermont companies (GW Plastics and King Arthur Flour) have been added to a growing list of companies which complain about the anti-business attitude of the Vermont Legislature led by Democrats.
Steve Voigt, CEO of King Arthur Flour and chair of the Vermont Business Roundtable, said that companies "are reluctant to make significant investments in their company's physical or human resources until they have a better picture of the future costs associated with those investments, namely health care and budget issues at the state and federal levels."
This letter may indicate that I think Vermont Democrats are misinformed. "You betcha" is what one prominent Republican would answer. She's the one, along with Michele Bachman (why do Democrats fear women in politics?) whose public gaffes are front-page news.
On the other hand, did you hear about the Harvard-educated president of the United States who thinks there are "57 states"? Isn't he the same president who pronounces "corps" as "corpse"? e.g., "U.S. Marine Corpse." Calls Europe "a country"? Thinks there is an "Austrian language"?
Don't fret. Keep the faith: In the words of our president, "The time has changed for come!"
Hilferty lives in Moretown.
