When it comes to meeting that special someone, many factors come together to make that perfect match. Physical attraction, common interests and a shared sense of humor are all regularly cited as important qualities in the perfect mate, but what about an attractive accent?
Your date's accent may not seem like a vital detail – especially when meeting someone online - but your subconscious reaction when they speak could make or break a relationship.
With a continent as large and diverse as North America, it's not surprising that accents are many and varied. From the lilting twang of the South, to the short and snappy speech of New Yorkers, the way North Americans speak is as much a melting pot of different styles and influences as the food and music.
The vast variety means that here in North America there really is something for everyone. But with choice comes preference, and although you may not think about it often, everyone has their own vocal likes and dislikes.
But which accents make us weak at the knees, and which are a turn off?
Well thanks to a recent survey of over 2,000 men and women by dating site Cupid.com we finally have the answer. The Southern accent, as spoken by the good people of the Palmetto State, was voted in first place as the most attractive of all.
(Rank, total and male/female split)
1st Southern – 36.5 percent (45/28)
2nd New York –16.5 percent (10/23)
3rd Western – 13 percent (16/10)
4th New England – 10.5 percent (8/13)
5th New Jersey –7 percent (4/10)
6th Canadian –7 percent (3/11)
7th Midwestern – 5.5 percent (8/3)
8th Mid-Atlantic – 4 percent (5/3)
So what is it that makes the Southern accent so appealing to members of the opposite sex? When it comes to romance, most of us dream of long lazy days in the sun, epic sunsets and, ahem, rolls in the hay. It's therefore no surprise that in at number one is the sweet sound of the South.
The distinctive sound of the Southern drawl is infamous the world over, but who knew its sing-song tones were secretly such a turn on? Interestingly the Southern accent proved a particular hit with the men who were surveyed. We're not sure if they're after a Scarlett O'Hara or a Daisy Duke, but either way it's great news for all you single southern belles.
New York
New Yorkers short, sharp talk may sometimes come across as harsh, but that didn't stop it from landing second place as most attractive accent in North America.
You may have
thought that their directness would scare prospective lovers off, but it seems that's far from the case.
In fact New York's fast and straight talking is actually very popular – especially among those women surveyed.
Bachelors of New York – make yourselves known.
With notable exceptions like the laid-back sounds of California's surfer dudes, the West is home to North America's least distinctive and most generic accents. However, far from
being a downfall it seems to be serving Westerners well, as they bagged third place in
Cupid.com's survey. So the Western states are a potential hotbed of love and romance.
New England
Ah, the Boston accent; one of the most characteristic in the USA. Yes, they may have
something funny going on with the letter "R," but that didn't stop New England ranking fourth as the most attractive accent in North America according to this survey.
New England scored particularly highly with females; we wonder if that has anything to do with Boston's famous sons Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg and Ben Affleck?
New Jersey
We wouldn't want to be the ones to have to break it to Tony Soprano, but it seems his
native New Jersey accent isn't a winner when it comes to love. Yes, Tony may have had more romantic conquests than we've had hot meals, but his hard-hitting New Jersey accent only reached fifth place in our Cupid.com survey. Tony may have found some solace in the fact that once again it was women who reacted most positively to New Jersey's harsh tones. It seems that when it comes to love, daters are looking for partners who conform to the gender stereotypes of softly-spoken women and tough-talking men.

In 1992, YIVO acquired the Bund Archives, one of the foremost Jewish collections specializing in the history of the socialist and labor movements. Founded in Geneva by the Jewish socialist party commonly known as the "Bund," the Archives was transferred to Berlin 1919. In 1933, with the rise of the Nazi Party, the Bund Archives was smuggled over the border into France. The documents were confiscated by the Germans during the occupation period, but survived the war. The Archives was brought to the United States in 1951.
The Bund Archives contain not only the official records of the Jewish Labor Bund (as the Bund is officially known in English), but also important documents on the history of the revolutionary movement in tsarist Russia; the socialist, anarchist, territorialist, and labor movements in both Europe and the United States; Yiddish culture; and the Holocaust.

Customer Reviews for Energy Efficient Cellular White / Off-White New Additions Double Cell
"Skylight Blind"
By Ed from Santa Maria, CA
This blind is great! The only problem I encountered was I installed the mounting brackets backwards. The pictures in the instructions were correct but a cautionary note on them about the mounting direction would have been nice but they still work well. I am quite happy with the blind.View this product

Where to find Scrapple
There are people who will deliver it from New Jersey. Brinkhurst Meats will ship it overnight.
Scrapple can be found at any Reid's store, though it may be labeled as liver pudding. That is how it is commonly referred to in the South.
Grice's Butcher Shop offers scrapple.
Scrapple is available at Reid's on York Street.
Scrapple can be found in the breakfast frozen food section at Publix. It is Habersetts, a popular Pennsylvania brand.
The Food Lion in the shopping center at Pine Log and Silver Bluff roads has the scrapple you are looking for. It's the same kind you find in Maryland and Pennsylvania. I know because I am from Baltimore.
I was going to work on Whiskey Road this morning and had to pull over because someone was tailgating me. Leave with enough time so you don't have to ride my bumper. I don't want to be in a wreck.
Trailer fire
How come there were no police officers that responded to the Oak Hill Trailer Park fire? Why wasn't that investigated?
I'd like to thank the people who bought my lunch at Auten's. I don't know you, but God bless you. Have a joyous and happy New Year.
No luminaries
I want to say I'm disappointed that Aiken Memorial Park isn't having a luminary service this year because of the new owner.
Traffic lights
The Augusta Chronicle is reporting that Augusta has problems with their traffic lights. The City of Aiken ought to sell all their old hardware since we don't know how to use it and try to recoup some of that money.

Heckuva football player. Maybe the best at his position in the NFL. However, I am beginning to think he is an idiot.
One of my all-time favorites and a nice man by all accounts. Remember "Marty?'' RIP, Commander McHale.
I went to the parade, and still don't understand why they had to change the route. Still, I am not sure it's worth getting all upset about. The parade is still a premier event for July 4, and just going in the opposite direction, for whatever reason, did not change that.
Citizen journalism....this is how Sarah Palin thinks we should all get our news.
It will be interesting to see how Youkilis does in the No. 2 lineup spot, if that's where they keep him. He has said he doesn't mind anywhere but leadoff, but he has rarely if ever hit second. I think he'll well in Chicago if he stays healthy, but I still think this was a deal the Red Sox had to make - when they made it. Good luck to Middlebrooks and Youk, too. (By the way, White Sox fans were not heartbroken to see Lillibridge go, but he could help Bosox in utility role)
Ray Allen in Miami. A Big 4, or a Big 3 1/2. Can there be no end to the pain?
I'm glad it's open again. I used to stop into Freddie's in the 1970s and early 1980s, an old-fashioned local market. After it closed, for years (it seems like more than 15), I would drive by and wonder why a spot right off the major highways but still connected to the Center had to be vacant. It was kind of sad, for it reminded me of other local Chicopee businesses that disappeared (remember Lysek's?) Now that corner building is active again. I will definitely stop in.
I wrote about this a few years ago. My feeling is that home schooled athletes should not be allowed on teams. People chose to interpret that I opposed home schooling. I don't. But it's a choice, like choices people make in other avenues. A home-schooled family has exercised their right to choose that public education is not for them. I do not believe they should then be allowed to show up at 2:30 and take part in the extracurriculars. Education, including public education, is a full experience. It is not a buffet. I also think it denies kids within the public system either a roster spot or much more likely, playing time. I know home schooled families pay taxes; so do I. Should I get my money back if I don't have kids in public school. I respect home schooling but that is how I feel.
Deserved award for one of the class players of the NHL...If I were to pick a favorite Bruin, he's the guy.
This should have been debated when health insurance was openly presented to the American people. Oh, I forgot, it was not openly presented, it was delivered and force-fed without debate after a campaign that was waged on any number of other issues. We weren't asked about this before it was passed, so it's a little late to find flaws in it now.
Sorry, I find no humor in this. Nor does it "crack me up.'' Nor do I feel the need to excuse it because it is true that I, too, are far-far-far from perfect. Quick is a great goalie who may very well be representing the United States at the 2014 Olympics. (He was on the 2010 team but did not play). That gives him two years to grow up. He may be a great guy - I don't know him. I do know this is nothing more than infantile - like little kids giggling in the playground over naughty words. Not necessary.
Great for Jonathan Quick....he earned it. I wonder what Bobby Valentine would have said about that ref's call that led to a major Devils penalty and three Kings goals in the first period.
Until now, the only minor leaguer from the Orioles I was following was Jamie Moyer, and that's only because he remembers the same music I do. Good luck to this kid, it's already a great story and making it through the system and to the big leagues would be terrific for him, the Orioles and the sport.
I am particularly happy that Raschi is being remembered. The great Yankees pitchers of those years should not be forgotten, although we understandably think first of the larger-than-life sluggers like Berra, DiMaggio and later Mantle. Also, congrats to college GB for the the salute signified by the Garry Brown Cup...you totally deserve it and more.
Bob, I hope you're right and LeBron tosses up a clunker. But I am not optimistic. Funny how we (meaning America, the media and probably guys like me) make him out to be a piece of garbage one day - no heart, no spine - and the eighth wonder of the world the next. I don't really like the guy, but he's not the worst, either. You never hear about LeBron having six kids with six mothers, or carrying guns or drugs or anything like that. The harshest thing we could say was that he was a choker, and now we can't even say that. I am trying to be optimistic about Game 7, but having watched LBJ just dunk on our heads at will, I can't be.
In 2010, I wrote that Garnett's number should be retired by the Celtics if they won a 2nd title in his time, and probably even if they didn't. I go the expected are-you-for-real response by some. I stand by it, even more so now. No. 5 has helped reshape Celtics history. Without Garnett, the Celtics are still the least cool team in the NBA, probably not a playoff team - let alone a title contender - and Doc Rivers is long, long gone. If Don Nelson's number can be up there, Garnett's ought to be as well, no matter what happens in the rest of these playoffs.
You guys don't mind if I change the subject back to basketball, do you? Do you believe in miracles? I do now. Either that, or the NBA script writers in secret consultation with the referees have conspired on this new, unexpected plot twist. I choose to believe the high road, that the Celtics have completely blocked out all the reasons they should not win this series and are coordinating their skills in a way we could not have imagined in January. This is inspiring....they sure don't look too old now...got to get it done in Game 6, but I believe.
OK, I'm sucked in. I'm teased enough to think the C's might win this.
Ed, my own feeling is that Doc is worth at least eight points over Spoelstra every single night. Sometimes I think the Heat are coaching themselves. The shot selection at key moments is terrible, not helped by LeBron's eagerness to pass off in the clutch moments (was that Udonis Haslem taking the last shot in regulation?) Maybe Doc needs a Rockne halftime seminar but if the Celtics win this thing, it will be one of the greatest examples of savvy over athletic talent I've ever seen. I have to think he has something to do with that, and so does Spoelstra.
I know it sounds like whining because the Celtics lost, but does it matter to the NBA that millions upon millions of fans really don't take the league seriously? When the conspiracy theory goes from the preposterous to something debated openly in mainstream conversation, that's bad for any league. Baseball umps are bad, but there is no question about whether these games are being officiated even-handedly. And don't tell me it's because basketball is such a subjective game to officiate. The NCAA has a lot of problems, but not this problem. Maybe Stern cares, maybe he does not, but the NBA's focus on markets and marketing makes it impossible even for those of us who don't want to wonder ... to wonder.
Avery Bradley is so sorely missed. Allen is trying his best, and you've got to give him credit for that, but it's just not there. I'm afraid for all his will, it won't be. Time marches on and injuries have an impact.

TEST DRIVE: The Lexus RX450h Hybrid Treats Us To a Green Weekend Up North
Well, cushy might have been overstating the issue slightly. The first thing we noticed driving the Lexus was that it bounced over road imperfections like a tilt-a-whirl, giving us the feeling of walking on the moon. It was comfortable, however, especially for such a long drive, and while we only managed 25 mpg when the car was packed to the gills with people and food on the way up to the cabin (a trip that is also slightly uphill almost the whole way), driving around to marinas near Mackinac City, Michigan, and traveling home with a lighter load the hybrid's mpg kept rising easily–34 mpg and still rising when we turned over the keys.
If that doesn't sound all that impressive, consider the size of the vehicle. The RX450h is a full-size SUV, with two rows of seats, sunroof, lots of electronic goodies including heated and air conditioned seats, sat-nav, and even DVD players embedded in the backs of the front seat headrests. For a car that size to pull off 34 mpg is like your hatchback getting 55 mpg without a hybrid drivetrain. We love that there is an option for drivers who want good efficiency but need more space in their vehicles, since one of the biggest hindrances to consumers adopting electric and hybrid cars is the amount of space they currently have to give up to get great mileage. If you have people to haul, if you need to schlep art canvases around town, the RX450h might just be your ride. And it's not that much more expensive than a standard sedan, starting at $45,910. We wish it looked a bit sportier, but leave off the econ button, which needlessly throttles acceleration without offering improved mileage, and the acceleration and sound it makes when you just tap the gas will make you forget the looks.

Hello Bonnie,
no I didn't get around to doing a painting of this...I had been there three times before (holiday) but this timeI it was a plein air botanical painting course...painted in the gardens of the Hotel where we had been given a studio to work in if we felt like it. I made many sketches and a few paintings but I learned a lot. Still prefer to catch the essence rather than the perfect flower study.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Well I managed to get one drawing done before the end of the Month. Sorry Jen, I just got too busy this month. There are a couple more I would like to try but the months are just to short or I'm just to slow. Here is my try of the lock. It was much more challenging than I thought and a real challenge for me because I always like to go larger and this had such small detail work. I did enjoy it. I am going to print it out and try adding a skeleton key and maybe some cp colour. It is pencil on drawing paper. The paper was 9x12 but I cropped it in the computer so am not sure what the size is maybe 6x8. The page was a little larger than my scanner and caused a shadow on the one side.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Bonnie you and Nealy are both getting pretty handy with your pencils. Great job. I don't think that you need to add the key because both keys for the lock are already in the lock. Again this is very nice.
C and C always welcomed
Bonnie, I agree you and Nealey have shown excellent skill at drawing this lock. I am so glad you both had a go at it. You have captured the intricate detail beautifully.
Jen C & C's always welcome
Thank you Geri and Jen for your nice comments. Geri, I didn't realize that the key was in the lock. Is it the part that looks like little handles or pulls?
Yes Bonnie those are the keys. This lock was made so that two people one with each key had to be present to open the lock. Much like the way they arm missals on submarines today
Hello Jen,
just want to thank you for all the effort you have put into hosting this month's Challenge.
I have enjoyed what I attempted and must say the rest of the work uploaded is well done and interesting to look at. Wish there was more to see although I know some of the group have had health problems. My new PC has also been a pain and was almost terminal at one point!
Looking forward to K's input.
Jen Thank you for all your had work and wonderful job Hosting the March challenge. Your choice of pics for inspiration were wonderful and I hope when I get some time to go back and do some. I wish March would have allowed me to participate more. I would also like to thank you for the help on the April Challenge.
I posted the April challenge a day early since I was off today and wanted to take my time and not rush.
I hope everyone will take a look and find some inspiration from the photos.
C&Cs always welcome
Nealy your lively sketch of the flute player is really well done.
Sarah your sketch of the market is fantastic.
Bonnie the detail of your locks is fabulous.
Thank you Karen for your nice comments on my lock.
Jen, thank you so much for hosting the March Challenge. I can hardly believe it is over already. There are a couple more photos I would have liked to try. Your inspirational photo's were great touching on so many areas to create works of art. Looking forward to seeing your finished gnome, he was really something. Thanks again.
Thank you Jen, Geri, Bonnie & Karen for looking at my flutist scribble. I would like to "do" him again in another medium sometime. It hasn't been a very good month for me. So sorry Jen that I didn't contribute more. Your photos are inspirational & there are many more of them I'm like to play with. Thank you for being a good host!
Bonnie ~ I'm glad you tried the locks! It was hard to get all the little parts in correctly, wasn't it?!?! You did a good job.
Sarah ~ I'm happy you shared your WC & Ink of the Madeira market. I like your sketchbook works & you did capture the essence of the scene.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Thanks everyone for a great month! It was sad so many of the group were having health problems this month and some were just over worked. Hopefully you will all feel better soon and get inspired to try some f Karen's references or come back and try any of the challenges you have missed. If nothing else look at art, read about art or just look around at beautiful sunsets and all the new life popping out everywhere!
Jen great job putting together the Gallery. Thanks for hosting this Month.
Sorry...was going to c/c on the current month when I discovered I had not fin. going over these.
Jen - LOVE your still life: the colors, comp., reflection, mood. All of it. Your boat ptg. framed yet? - looked done. Hackey sacks are very dramatic. Rose is intense - quite a change from your boat so that's good to switch it up. Your clay gnome - will the stone pieces stay when fired? Did you update with your clay creations all glazed and in the garden or wherever? Skater has nice tones. Road market has a feel to it that is approp. for your subj.; had wished to see a bit more in shadows on ground but I loved the grassy field text. and the BG & sky - all works together with your colors well.
Thanks so all who had c/c on my Cezanne still life version. Apprec. your time in doing so!
Sarah - Love the boat ptg. comp.. The pelican and nest are very sensitively done, each in diff. ways though. Your abstract cacti is unique - like the contrast and comp. (no matter what direction). Your pen/ink sketch captures a slice of life quite well, which I know is not that chall. for you, but it certainly is for me and many others so my hat's off to you.
Karen - Your reflections in your w/c are nice, and esp. like the very fluid looking one on R. The BG looks soft and bit Impressionistic. I recall you don't usually do w/c so this was a nice break for you to venture into it.
Claudia - Vacation studio...wow, how nice. What a heavenly view for you. Great start on your egg temp window.
Ruthie - Both works were very expressive! Super job.
Geri - Super stippling! Your cherries - yes, was best to leave it alone; it was just right and the stems were packed with colors for such a tiny area...awesome.
Nealey - Your Indian was done so well with the scribbling tech.. The contrast was pushed dark in a couple key areas of the locks (yes, pun intended), which helped to make this not only detailed but eye catching.
Chrechat39 - Hope you show us your work done from your Africa visit. Apprec. your sharing your oil pastel here.
Bonnie - Lovely detail! Did you go ahead with your exper. by adding later? Would be interesting to see the results. This subj. looked esp. tricky but you and Nealey handled the chall. well.
Jen - Wish I could have been around more this month, but you did a fabulous job getting this put together.
Kim T (Kim513)
C&C welcome!
Kim ~ Thankyou for going back and commenting on all the March artwork, including mine! And I DID like SO MUCH your WC take on the Cezanne with the (your) child. Hope you can do more!

Midwest Living Review
Detroit loves a good party, and this one has helped send off summer for the last 32 years. Stages are set up on Hart Plaza, the public square on the Detroit River highlighted by a donutlike stainless-steel fountain, and three blocks north of the plaza at the city's newest public funspace, Campus Martius. The sites are only a 15-minute walk from each other via Woodward Avenue, which becomes a pedestrian mall for the event, filled with vendors selling a mix of food and T-shirts. Music begins on Friday at around 6 p.m., and then starts shortly before noon each day thereafter. Artists play continuously until shortly before 11 p.m., with each performance running 60 to 90 minutes. Whether it's smooth jazz, progressive, freeform, gospel or other genres, performed by university bands or national recording artists, the Detroit Jazz Festival's lineup of artists is indeed world-class.

Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
The 2007 Knights Valley is redolent of blackberry, brown sugar and star anise in the nose. Its juicy fruit core, round mouthfeel and dusty tannins are perfectly expressive of the Knights Valley vineyard.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Firm, intense and concentrated, with spicy, loamy earth, dried berry, sage and herbal scents. Full-bodied, ending with chewy tannins and a dash of black licorice. Drink now through 2015."
The Wine Advocate - "Several other great values emerge from Beringer, including the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Knight's Valley. A major sleeper of the vintage, this $27 wine will probably be marked down at discounters, making it a terrific value. This sexy North Coast Cabernet offers copious quantities of black cherry and black currant fruit intermixed with smoky barbecue, roasted herb, sweet cassis, and blackberry scents. Round and gentle with silky tannins, this is a plush red to drink over the next 5-8 years."
Beringer Vineyards
No winery or vineyard more thoroughly embodies the timeless appeal and seductive flavor of Napa Valley than Beringer Vineyards, Napa's benchmark producer since the establishment of the vineyard in 1876.
Now in its third century of crafting classic wines from Napa's finest appellations and vineyards, Beringer today is guided by the inspired partnership of celebrated Winemaster Emeritus Ed Sbragia and Winemaker Laurie Hook. Together, they craft Napa Valley wines that speak eloquently of the rich heritage of the Beringer Vineyard, while offering cutting-edge quality and contemporary elegance. The exquisite wines crafted at the Beringer Vineyards display a single minded dedication and pursuit of excellence instilled by its founder, Jacob Beringer. View all Beringer Vineyards Wines
About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

1 rating, 1 with reviewJennifer Rector - Naples, FL33/25/2010Very nice wine for the price. The 2006 was a very nice wine for the price also.
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

There is no better time than now to receive your annual flu shot, according to state health officials. Â
"As much as 10 percent of the U.S. Workforce will get the flu this year, with 17 million workdays lost as a result," said State Health Department Commissioner Dr. Terry Cline. Â "Receiving a flu vaccination from your local county health department, your physician, or any of the many places flu shots are available, is absolutely the best way for Oklahomans and their families to stay healthy this winter."
Beginning October the 10th, flu shots will be available at the Pushmataha County Health Department every Monday and Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older. Â Persons at high risk of serious complications from flu are strongly encouraged to get a flu shot, including pregnant women and people with asthma, diabetes, chronic heart and lung disease, or other chronic conditions. Â Parents and family members of babies younger than 6 months old and people who live with or care for anyone at high risk of complications from the flu, including health care workers, should also get vaccinated. Vaccine protection declines over time, so an annual flu shot is needed to assure better protection.
"Flu can be a dangerous disease for people of all ages, even healthy children and adults," said Cline. Â "WE encourage every Oklahoman to protect themselves and their families by getting their annual flu shot as soon as possible. Â There's no better time than now."
Flu can also be expensive, with the direct medical care costs for adults with flu totaling $8.7 billion annually, including $4.5 billion for adults hospitalized due to flu-related illness. Â
Beginning October 3, local county health departments will be providing flu vaccine using the following fee schedule: Â No charge for families who whose income is less than 185 percent of the federal poverty level, No charge for adults 65 and older, no charge for children who whose insurance, or are on SoonerCare or are Native American or Alaskan natives, or children whose insurance does not cover vaccines, no charge to persons enrolled in HealthChoice and the Oklahoma Public Employees Health and Welfare insurance plans who present their insurance cards, children and adults with health issuance that covers vaccines and those with incomes about 185% of the poverty level will by charged a fee of $25.00 for flue vaccine to cover the cost of the vaccine and the cost of administering it, cash, checks and credit cards are accepted for payment.
High-dose flu vaccine, a vaccine with four times the antigen than regular flu vaccine, will be available at county health departments for persons 65 years and older. The high-dose vaccine should provide more protection, although it may come with a slightly high chance for typical side effects like sore arm, headache and low fever.
In addition to getting flu vaccination, persons 65 and older and those with chronic health conditions should ask their doctor if they should be vaccinated against pneumococcal pneumonia, if they have not already received a dose. Pneumococcal pneumonia is a common and potentially serious complication of the flu. Unlike influenza vaccine, the pneumococcal vaccine does not need to be given every year.
Don't forget that the Pushmataha County Health Department will start giving flu vaccines beginning on October 10th every Monday and Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Please call 580-298-6624 for any questions.

RIM shows off BlackBerry 10 -- What they'll be putting up against iOS 6 and iPhone 5!
At BlackBerry World 2012, RIM has finally given us a sneak preview of their next generation BlackBerry 10 operating system. It won't be released until later in 2012, likely pitting it head-to-head against iOS 6 and iPhone 5,1, and a lot can change, but here's some of what we've seen so far:
- Highly gesture based. That'll be quick for power-users who become familiar with the system, but RIM will have to work hard to make it discoverable enough to get new users on board.
- Sliding layers of information. Something that looks like an extension of Twitter for iPad, you can slide the screen aside to see notifications behind, slide layers over to get more information, etc.
- Virtual keyboard. Looks very BlackBerry, works to "learn" how each individual types so it can personalize the experience. Presents words you can "flick up" to enter. (See CrackBerry's coverage of the BlackBerry 10 keyboard.)
- Time travel camera. When you take a picture, it records frames before and after and you can pick the perfect shot from that period of time. Be interesting to see what resolution they can get out of that.
- They also showed off what looked like the BlackBerry 10 versions of FaceTime and AirPlay, on both phones and the PlayBook, stressing their ecosystem play.
Right now there's only the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha to actually get hands-on with, and again a lot can change between now and "later this year" when they release, especially in so competitive a market. A lot of their initial keynote sounded like something straight out of CrackBerry Kevin's smartphone hierarchy of needs. Whether they can focus, target, and most importantly, ship, remains to be seen.
Check out the video below and let us know what you think. Will BlackBerry 10 make RIM competitive again? Anything you see in BlackBerry 10 that you'd like to see in iOS 6?

RIM shows off BlackBerry 10 -- What they'll be putting up against iOS 6 and iPhone 5!
Really? Did you watch a different video than the rest of us did? lol
This won't win any awards. The problem RIM and everyone else that's trying to be the new thing is this.... none of them have something NEW and refreshing when they come to market. They all have a copy of something. What they need to understand is that first to market with something that revolutionizes a market is the company that reinvents that market and leads it. It's as simple as that. Wheels are no longer amazing just because someone makes a new looking one, but the guy who made the first one revolutionized/invented that market.
Wow you're ignorant.
Everyone has got a wheel. It's all about the hubcaps now. And looking at the bb10 software, and functions no other phone has, I'd say they've got some pretty sweet hubcaps.
Why? Because the new Blackberry 10 hardware should be enough to blow Apple's iPones out of the water IMO. Don't talk about the iPads, they don't compare to the superior Playbooks that will do laps around a overpriced iPad(s).
Apple? Why pay for the name? They lack so much... Yes I owned both BB7 and iPone 4, sold the iPhone a few months after I got it, no thanks,
Impressive! But at the same time it looks very similar to IOS interface wise.
Explain to me what you saw in that video thats any difference from what's already out from IOS, and Android? There's is nothing there could or would make me want to jump ship. I have no faith in RIM anymore.
The predictive word gesture is pretty neat I must admit. I would it would take a bit of practice though.
I'm sure this will be released in summer '13 in typical RIM fashion and be behind the times. Hope they can deliver
nope... the iphone 4S was an iteration, if you will, of the fourth generation iphone with efforts to add a few, albeit substantial, extra features and specs.
I just hope RIM doesn't ditch physical keyboards. The virtual keyboard is neat and all, but physical keys are right now a defining advantage of BlackBerry.
I agree, although the thought (over at CB) appears to be that the initial release of BB10 phones will be touch screen, followed by '13 releases of the physical keyboard devices - namely the flagship device, the Bold.
For everyone else, I understand the hesitance to believe this will be actually delivered on-time, but let's just wait and see. And to those automatically dismissing anything that's not iOS or Android, well... smh... grow up.
Great observation, there is enough room for 4 ecosystems in the smart phone world. I have used iOS, Android, and Palm, I presently use BB7 and WP7.5 and am thinking of coming back to iOS depending on what the next iOS/iPhone brings to the table. People are different and so should the phone os's. If iOS works for you great, if WP7, fine. We need choice to drive these os's and phone manufactures to continue to innovate. That is what the original iPhone did to the smartphone category
Exactly. The more, the merrier. I've used BB, WinMo, Android (Eclair), and iOS (in that order). I'm currently "dual-wielding" both my iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1 and my GSM Galaxy Nexus on Android 4.0 ICS. I like them both, for different reasons. I've been wanting to add a WP7.5 device to my little collection (especially a Nokia Lumia 900), but I'm waiting for WP8. I'd even consider a BB 10 device, based on what I've seen in this video. I like all the OSs; each has its ups and downs. There's room for 4, at least. Maybe even more someday. More choice and competition in the mobile marketplace drives further innovation and benefits us all.
I suppose that "flick up" thing is interesting but not sure there's enough there to get me overly excited. I just typed out a large text on my iPhone and probably got 2 words typed out correctly and 0 typos by the end of it. Love that.
wow... i like that the phone looks like some of the iPhone-without-a-home-button concepts. if blackberry can pull off the completely gesture-based phone (with great success), then, yeah, i think that competition will heat up. i'm a complete Apple fanboy (and will never ditch my iPhone), but this phone looks really cool.
Remember...the actual phone used in this video is only the Dev Alpha demo unit. This is not going to be the final phone design. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product launch. I have an iPhone and a BlackBerry PlayBook, and if they can deliver a half-way decent phone...I'll definitely jump on the BB10 train. An iPhone and iPad are two separate (awesome) experiences...but a PlayBook and BlackBerry device combo creates a totally unique way of communicating that is really amazing. I can only imagine what that experience will be like with a new BB10 device. Not hating on Apple....but I'm also not discrediting or counting out RIM just yet.
"It goes without saying that iOS is looking pretty dated."
Actually, I would have to challenge that assertion. I don't hear this kind of opinion at all from regular folks. It only seems to come up in the tech blogosphere bubble, which is hardly representative of the population at large.
I'd greatly appreciate some further explanation of what, precisely, looks so "dated" about iOS, and which other UI paradigms look so much more modern in comparison.
^^^^^^Watches too much big bang theory... lol
I don't see anything that has changed with the iOS user interface since the launch of the iPhone. I also believe it's dated and that's not taking anything away from the phone's cabailities
For anyone watching this video that didn't actually watch the keynote speech, there's a lot more than just an updated keyboard, as stated in the article. And as a Blackberry user(who also has an iphone) id say its more than enough to be excited about, even more so if that's not even the finished product.
I'm not a fanboy of either phone, I have an iPhone and a BB Bold 9930. I love things about both phones.
In the video I see some good things. If they deliver something similar it will be hard to say that one is light years better than they other unless you bleed Apple cider or Molson beer.
It's ironic that you would reference "CrackBerry Kevin's smartphone hierarchy of needs", as (according to the New York Times) the prototypes RIM is handing out to developers are missing some key elements of the pyramid's foundations:
"Among the features missing on the prototype phones given to software developers was the ability to actually make phone calls or access wireless networks."
I realize this is an early alpha release and all, but how are devs supposed to do useful app testing on devices without wireless access?
Actually if you watched one of the videos while a dev was signing up for the Dev 10 Alpha they were given a sim card with a certain amount of minutes on it and the dev was able to sign in to the wireless network at the Blackberry Jam event. So the New York Times were blowing smoke.
The Times grossly misrepresented the BB10 Dev Alpha by initially calling the device the new BB10. They later put up a correction but from reading the initial article it was clear the reporter not only did not attend the conference, but was making assumptions without doing homework necessary to write a proper story.
I might also add that wireless access is not a requirement to test apps
I will not switch from my iphone to anywhere for now. There's a lot more to make this move than just the beauty of a phone. But I would love for RIM to step it up and this seems to be a step in the right direction. I only hope they learned from the playbook release and do the right thing which is release on time and make sure you have a appealing software integration as this could be the last chance.
looks like theyre finally stepping it up, but that keyboard looks horrifically complicated. however i am biased as i feel the whole point of a keyboard is to type, not have the computer assume what youre going to say and hunt and pick for suggestions. the only thing stupider than that is using speech to text for sms conversations.
I have found the iPhone virtual keyboard, even in portrait mode, is much easier than any Android device. It is one of the main reasons why I have an iPhone and not an Android phone.
"Easier than any Android device?" I wouldn't say "any." Not all Android phones or their keyboards are created equal. I have my tried-and-true iPhone 4 and an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus, and I find the GNex's keyboard and overall typing experience to be way more user-friendly (for me) than that of the iPhone. Of course, people's preferences for keyboards will vary. Different strokes for different folks...
The iPhone's keyboard is actually one of the best touchscreen keyboards out there. But it's just a little too cramped and small for me. My GNex's bigger screen and keyboard are just far easier for me to read and type on with my big hands. Plus I can always switch to a different keyboard if I don't like the stock one. I don't have that option on my iPhone (unless I jailbreak it). I will still keep my iPhone, tho, as I like to use all the different OSs. I'd even consider using this BB 10 device in the video (or a later production version of it), 'cos I like what RIM did with the keyboard and the camera.
I was a Storm I and Storm 2 user and got so frustrated and sick of "battery pulls" two and three times a day. I have a BB Curve issued by work and an iPhone4s personal phone and the iPhone blows away anything the BB could do. Storms had the worst browser ever and even Opera didn't help. I would need to be really impressed with their OS to ever buy another BB phone.
I too was a Storm user and was sick of the battery pulls and the limited amount of apps that could be put on the device due to memory limitations, and I moved on to the iPhone. However, I do own a Playbook and it is awesome, no need for battery pulls (which would not be possible anyway), and what was shown today is very impressive. They just have to get everything right at launch, and I get the feeling they know that.
Same here, I once had a BB 8320 (the original Curve); it was my first smartphone. I had to do battery pulls at least once a week; later on as my Curve got older, it became more and more frequent, and it got really annoying. But at least I had the option of doing a battery pull if needed. At least then I could put the battery back in and carry on. I would also have to be absolutely blown away by any future BB in order to ever buy one again. From what I've seen of BB 10 thus far, RIM seem to be off on a decent start and I'm actually kinda impressed with it; I hope they can somehow pull it off, for their sake.
This would have been neat in early 2010, way too little, way too late. No one cares, keyboard may only be effective if you're an incredibly slow and terrible typer who is slowly finger poking the keys, and while looking for your next key to poke finds the word you want to use. Absolutely terrible, it's no wonder RIM stock had a huge drop after they embarrassingly displayed this garbage.
It's basically an iPhone with no physical buttons and RIM's spin on the UI. The UI and OS still looks a bit dated but kudos to RIM for trying. Not trying to offend anyone, I'm an avid iPhone and MacBook user but I used to be on BlackBerry so please don't freak out. Just putting my two cents out there like everyone else.
I used to have a BB too (the BB 8320 Curve), so don't worry; you're not the only one. That old BB lasted me 3 years before it finally died (cellular radio stopped working), and it made me kinda sad to finally have to get rid of it. It also was sad to see RIM just sort of stagnate and get taken out pretty quickly in the mobile marketplace. This prototype BB 10 device in the video doesn't look too interesting by itself hardware-wise; I agree, it does look kinda iPhone-ish, but again, this is just an early prototype and I seriously doubt that later production models will look anything like this. Now if RIM would take a later, more mature and refined iteration of BB 10 and put it in some really solid hardware, with a build quality reminiscent of the BB 9000 Bold (now, that was a nice device in its day!), then they might just have something there. We'll see...
LOL Wouldn't that be ironic!
I had a BB for 3 years (my first smartphone), and I'd actually consider using this BB 10 device in the video (or, rather, a later production version of it) just 'cos I like what RIM have done with the keyboard (with the words you can flick upward into the text) and that cool "time machine" thing they did with the camera. I was pretty impressed by that. I hope that this isn't too little, too late, and that RIM can pull this off and survive. 'Cos I'd hate to see a near-duopoly of just Apple and Google out there, and maybe MS/Nokia with WP as a distant third (I'm rooting for them too). More competition would be better for us all in the long run.

CRESTVIEW — Before Thanksgiving break, Walker Elementary School kindergarten teacher Mary Riley taught students a thing or two about 17th-century hardships, and then gave a practical demonstration.
"When the Pilgrims wanted something to eat, did they go to the grocery store and buy it?" she asked the kids.
After a chorus of no's, one student pointed out there were no grocery stores in Plymouth Plantation colony.
So what did Pilgrims do if they needed butter?
"They had to make it themselves," Riley said.
With that, she half filled a quart jar with heavy cream — cuing 14 young butter churners to get to work.
Students took turns shaking the jar, inserting each student's name in a ditty Riley taught the kids:
"Lila's at the garden gate,
Waiting with the butter plate,
Come, butter, come.
Come, butter, come."
After two trips around the circle of kids, the cream thickened but wasn't even at whipped cream stage yet.
"We're going to have to get a lot more children!" Sydney Bywater said after a second turn shaking the jar.
But soon, as the song changed to "The A, B, C's" and then "The Wheels on the Bus," the kids noticed the cream changing from a liquid to a solid. After 15 minutes of shaking, the butter was ready.
Michelle Williams' first-grade classroom could have used the butter ball .
"We're making apple pie!" the teacher said as her students took turns producing ingredients. Ariana Griffin gave the apples, brown sugar and spices a stir. Next, it was time to make the piecrust dough.
As their teacher assisted, Robert Corthell and Louis Ludwig carefully measured a cup of flour, and leveled it before dumping into a mixing bowl. With Williams' assistance, students Lauren Downing, Sydnee Spence and Aniya Seals chopped butter into the flour, and then Sophia Fisher led classmates who mixed the dough.
With dough rolled out and placed in a pie pan, and the filling poured in, the pie was ready for baking in school cafeteria ovens, along with individual-sized pumpkin pies the kids made.
Thanksgiving feasting came a week early for some Walker Owls, who could eat the treats they helped make.
In addition, as Riley pointed out, they brought home culinary skills to help their families prepare the holiday dinner.

St. Francis set to stage 'Crazy for You' May 2-10Written by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Chase Will
Dancing will be the star of the show at St. Francis de Sales' upcoming spring musical "Crazy for You." No previous show has presented quite as much spectacle, hilarity and catchy show tune action, organizers say.
The Tony Award-winning musical was adapted from George and Ira Gershwin's 1930 play "Girl Crazy," and was selected by Michael Kastner, director at St. Francis, precisely because of the numerous challenges.
"Most high schools, and even most professional groups, are scared of the show. It's all tap dance," said Kastner, who's also directed 15 previous shows at St. Francis. "Last year we did 'Les Miserables,' and that was all singing from beginning to end, so probably the exact opposite of that is 'Crazy for You,' which is tap number after tap number."
The show will take place at 7:30 p.m. May 2, 3, 9 and 10 at the Franciscan Theatre at Lourdes University. All seats are reserved, and tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and $10 for students.
The 64-member cast includes boys from St. Francis as well as girls from Notre Dame Academy and St. Ursula Academy. When the show was announced last October, many students prepared for auditions by taking elective tap lessons.
"I think the kids have grown to figure out Gershwin wrote some amazing music," Kastner said. "That's exactly why we introduce it to them. It's nice for them to do the new things that are coming out, but they need to have the old stuff on their resumes too. I've always wanted to do 'Crazy for You,' and we definitely have the talent for it."
The romantic comedy follows Bobby Child, who dreams of dancing for Bela Zangler's Follies but falls in love with Polly Baker, the daughter of a theater owner he's supposed to foreclose on. During his struggle to win her affections, he undergoes many hijinks of showmanship and impersonation.
"I love his energy," said Derek Kastner, who plays Child and was recently accepted into the University of Cincinnati's College Conservatory for Music. "He's one of those go-getters who constantly has so much energy, which I think is what drives the show, and he's the reason for all these dance numbers and crazy scenarios.".
Along with 10-minute dance numbers and spectacular choreography, the musical also offers beautiful melodic songs.
"Personally, I love to sing 'But Not for Me,' because that's the moment my character realizes she needs to let down her guard a bit and let people in, which is a great turning point," said Meghan Oberle, who plays Baker. "I like that she's very independent and strong, which I think a lot of girls can relate to."
"You won't find a better high school musical in the state," said Alumni Assistant Director Grant Grisier, a Toledo Free Press sales representative. "What I like about Mr. Kastner is he doesn't settle. He's not afraid to push the envelope, and he has a very particular vision for each show. All four shows will be sold out for sure."
The show will take place in the Franciscan Theatre at Lourdes University, located at 6832 Convent Blvd., in Sylvania. Tickets can be ordered from the school at (419) 531-1618.

CHAPMANVILLE — The first Thanksgiving dinner held was a combined community effort of supplying and cooking the food served. Likewise, a free Thanksgiving dinner will be offered Thursday in Chapmanville where the food was collected and will be cooked by a community of volunteers.
"Both elementary schools, East Chapmanville and West Chapmanville, collected canned foods," said Ron Jones, organizer of the event. "We have Girl Scout Troops across the region donating turkeys, stuffing and mashed potatoes. Church groups are preparing desserts… it's a real community effort to get the dinner put together."
Jones said the event will be held from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at Chapmanville Middle School.
"Anybody can come, no requirements," said Jones.
The dinner held last year was a huge success with more than 500 dinners served.
"Last year East Chapmanville collected over 2,500 food items and West Chapmanville collected over 1,500," said Jones. "We fed 508 people and made deliveries throughout the county. We still had food left over to local food pantries and the Huntington City Mission."
Jones welcomes everyone to attend the dinner Thursday.
"If you want to volunteer or if you want dinner," said Jones. "Just come out on Thanksgiving Day and if you want to help, there will be something for you to do and if you want to eat, there will be a place for you to sit."
