These boots are okay for average use. I have bought 3 pair of these from Boot Barn and one pair had the leather split on one side after only a couple of months of use. Okay for light duty. Made in China so don't expect too much from these.

The upcoming BMW M1 will feature an impressive options personalization program for many cosmetic additions. Mentioned items include a full range of carbon fiber exterior parts. M-stripes on exterior (in different colors and placements). 18″ competition wheels in two different finishes. Multiple matte exterior colors and the return of Techno Violet !
Here is a render of the upcoming BMW M1 by a 1addicts member. Although it's missing certain elements we're sure to see on the M1, this render gives some preview as to how the car will look with aggressive M-style front bumper, front fender gill, carbon fiber roof, and wheels.
Here are some new higher resolution pictures of the very same BMW M1 mule that has been spotted before. We can clearly see the temporary rear wheel arches affixed to accomodate the testing of a wider track. The production M1 body will sport actual broader flared arches to fit the widened rear track.
Here are some exciting details on the upcoming BMW M1: More muscular appearance than regular 1-series, Trapezoid grille flanked by two intakes to allow extra brake cooling, Six piston brakes, High performance intercooler, Sportier looking headlights than standard 1-series, Small lip spoilers above brake duct inlets to provide extra air flow and downforce, The front wings of the car are massaged slightly to accomodate the wider track. Rear end is also wider. Standard 18″ 5-spoke wheels with optional 18″ Competition wheels (18″ will be the optimium … CONTINUED
Here you see a rendering of the upcoming BMW M1 from Autozeitung magazine. According to BMW marketing insider Scott26, "The look is very close to the aerodynamic pack that adorns the M1″ (minus the metallic crossbars). The magazine also mentions that the M1 will go on sale in Summer 2011, with 355 bhp, 0-60 mph under 5 seconds, and M3 suspension!
The concept M1 is expected at the Geneva Auto Show.
The first teaser image of the upcoming BMW M1 has surfaced on 1addicts! The small image shows a beefy front bumper sculpted in latest M-style, with huge air inlets for engine and brake cooling. According to insiders, the M1 will be unveiled in a unique matte finish, after being tested with many different matte finishes (sepang bronze, white, etc.). Colors options will be plentiful, ranging from the current M colors to updates of past M colors, and even an Inka Orange color (from the … CONTINUED
The M1 prototype test car has now been filmed on video. Scroll down to the link after the jump for the directly embedded video on CAR Magazine's site.
Car Magazine has published pictures of the M1 undergoing cold weather testing in Scandinavia. While the guys at Car Magazine are assuming that this is a mule for the next gen 1-series coupe (F2x), its safe to say this actually is an M1 prototype. Why? The very same car was spotted around the BMW M headquarter in Garching (near Munich) before: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311113
Best regards,
Would naming the upcoming 1-series "M" model as an M1 be sacrilege or natural and appropriate? Cast your vote now.
Now that the BMW M1 has been confirmed, the natural next question would be: What's on everyone's M1 wishlist (performance, features, options)? Come share your list.
Autocar reports that the BMW M1 has been green lighted! Sales will begin mid-2011 and it will be powered by a turbocharged straight six motor estimated to produce around 350hp.
EVO Mag further confirms a high performance 1-series is coming, and a BMW supercar. The question is which will be called the new BMW M1.

I had a twin loss in 2012 from severe preeclampsia at 21 weeks. I am now set to deliver my rainbow baby by C-section on September 5. After I lost my twins, my MFM told me to wait at least 6 months to TTC again. So, I did, and we got pregnant 9 months after losing my twins.
I asked my MFM again this time how long we should wait to TTC again. This time she said a MINIMUM of six months, but she really recommends waiting 12 months to TTC. She said she recommends that for anyone TTC, and not because I am having a C-section. She just said that the risk of preeclampsia and stillbirth is higher if we don't wait 12 months to TTC, and especially since I already had preeclampsia.
The thing is, I am turning 41 in November, and we have some embryos that we want to implant, so we would like to even try at least 2 more pregnancies! If I wait her recommended time to get pregnant again, we would be having our second baby at the age of 42! I know some Hollywood actresses get pregnant later by IVF, but they don't have histories of severe preeclampsia already like I do! What do you all think about this. I didn't wait a full year last time, and I did not get preeclampsia. I'm so worried I am running out of time, and do not want to be pregnant and 47!

Comments On May 25, 2015:I have been a long time Twin Air user and decided to try something different, No Toil pre oiled filter was a bad choice. Fit was terrible, it took several attempts to get the sealing foam to mate cleanly and neatly to the airbox to ensure a good seal. The difficulties were due to poor design and quality in my opinion, the flat surface that mates to the airbox wanted to roll over the inside of the filter cage making it difficult to get a good sealing surface. The pre oiling was poor as well, I could see green colored stripes where it looked like the oil was sprayed on meaning that I could also see more white colored stripes where the oil was not. After adding more oil and spending more time than should be necessary to install it properly it did do the job. I'll stick with Twin Air

Here are my responses toa various submissions and an ad for Waitsfield town offices and proposed alternative sites.
"Pick Your Own Town Hall," 4/4/2013 Valley Reporter:
Regarding stated project costs: Because of additional adjustments made to both the Farm Stand and Methodist Church options after the March vote, the cost figures that are the basis of the petition are different from what was included in the article. The Farm Stand purchase price is $100,000, not $1.6 million. The completed project price, with a new building at the site, would not exceed $1,3million, not $1.6 million. The Methodist Church is appraised at $400,000, its sale price is $450,000, not $500,000. The Methodist Church completed project price is $2.1 million, not $2.6 million.
It is important to note that these estimates, especially the Farm Stand site, are very conservative and the actual cost could be much lower. Both estimates have a 15 percent contingency because construction will likely not occur for another year if the bond vote is approved. Either project would be subject to competitive bids from bonded contractors.
Regarding possible rental income: The Valley Professional Center, Egan's, and the Historic Waitsfield House properties contain references to rental income as an attribute. Due to control, privacy, security, maintenance and administrative capacity issues, prudent real estate and risk management indicates the town should not rent and/or lease parts of publicly owned and public employee-occupied buildings for private purposes. The objective of the town hall relocation project is to construct larger office space away from the flood zone and not to get into the apartment house management business.
Regarding specific properties that are on the market:
The Valley Professional Center building: Studies have repeatedly shown that Waitsfield citizens want the town office in the Historic Village or Irasville central business district; the Town Plan states it should be in these areas, and there are other good reasons for so doing. Substantial federal disaster relief funds are available (on a first-come first-served competitive basis till the money runs out) to relocate the office.
The grant application would be critically weakened if it cannot show conformance with citizen preferences and the Town Plan. Further, the HUD consolidated plan, adopted by the Vermont Community Development Board, the agency responsible for the Community Development Block Grant program, targets grant funding to existing village and growth centers and away from scattered sites such as the Professional Center. Further, both the Methodist Church and Farm Stand are located within a designated Historic Village Center and therefore subject to priority funding from the state.
In addition, the Town Plan (adopted last October) includes the following policy: "Facilities that require regular access by the general public and are compatible with compact, mixed use development, such as Municipal Offices, Post Offices, community centers and Fire Stations, should be located in Waitsfield Village or Irasville. Facilities that do not require regular access by the general public, such as highway maintenance, or are not compatible with compact, mixed use development, such as solid waste transfer facilities, shall be located in appropriate centralized, nonresidential locations, preferably in the Industrial District or Limited Business District."
Regarding the Egan's building: This is a restaurant with a commercial kitchen, as is reflected in the purchase price. Extensive remodeling would be necessary to accommodate public use. This will hopefully be re-opened as a much-needed enjoyable restaurant in the Commercial District. There are other sites for the Town Office, and it is distinctly not in the best long-term interest of our tourism-oriented economy to dismantle and remove what could again be a viable contributor to that economy.
Extensive remodeling would be necessary to convert this restaurant into town offices, including the installation of an elevator. If the Town Clerk's office were to be located at the upper level, where the main dining space and restrooms are currently located, then the vault would have to be at this level as well. Locating a vault on the second-floor level would require extensive structural modification to the building. Once engineering, permitting, performance bonding and construction clerk expenses are factored in the actual development cost will be between 15 percent and 25 percent more than just the purchase and renovation costs.
As for the Troll Shop: This is a 160-year-old structure with a stone foundation that again would require extensive remodeling. Further, the size of the shop is too small to accommodate the basic Town Office program. The second floor is likely uninhabitable without extensive renovation, including possibly a raised roof and an elevator. A year-round meeting space would likely require renovating both the shop and the barn.
In considering the Historic Waitsfield House: A critical objective of the relocation project is to move out of the flood zone. This building is in the flood zone and, therefore, cannot meet a basic objective of the project. Additionally, the structure is too large and has limited parking space. Collectively, the above four properties noted above should stay on the tax rolls.
For these available properties claims are made regarding completed project costs. For the Farm Stand site and the Methodist Church, extensive analyses have been conducted and cost estimates generated, by experienced professionals in the construction industry. I am not aware of similar analyses conducted for these suggested properties. Public buildings are subject to very particular state and federal standards. The identity and qualifications of the preparer of these claimed completed costs is unknown and the validity of the costs are unsubstantiated.
Regarding the town obtaining a 50-year note: This was not proposed by the town – a citizen at the March 25 select board meeting asked the question if a note of such duration would help finance the project. For this project, 50-year borrowing is not available to municipalities. Per Vermont statutes, Title 24, Sect 1755, 20 years is the maximum number of years for which municipal bonds may be issued in Vermont.
Regarding the letter entitled "Town Hall Madness," 4/4/2013 Valley Reporter:
In reference to a luxury town hall: The new Town Hall should reflect the level of design and build quality of our time. Materials used and efficiencies obtained should reflect current standards and be able to withstand the test of time. The revised plans for both the Methodist Church and Farm Stand options include a single-floor layout to avoid the need for an elevator. The approximately 3,000 square feet concept for the Farm Stand parcel is only 1,200 to 1,300 square feet larger than the existing Town Office, in the basement of the library. The Methodist Church provides additional space, although not substantially more than the Farm Stand option.
In reference to the Community Development Block Grant: This program has been put in place by our elected representatives for the express purpose of assisting communities recovering from the damaging effects of natural disasters. It is not free money, but rather a program funded by our own tax dollars and can be considered a return on our substantial investment. Those who have trouble accepting such funds should speak to their elected representatives and program administrators, but remember that not everyone would agree with dismissing assistance funded in part by ourselves.
In this case, the funds were earmarked specifically for Vermont's Washington and Windsor Counties. It is a one-time appropriation that can be spent in Waitsfield, or elsewhere, but it will be spent.
An observation: Accurately informed and actively participating individuals and groups are the strength of democracy and exercise of responsible citizenry. In the quest for the public good, statements which can be considered false, misleading or unfairly inflammatory debase the discussion and do not constructively contribute to the common good. Let's rise above claims and rhetoric of this nature, focus on the original objective, and tend to the task at hand.
Reilly lives in Waitsfield.

Multi Piece Teardrop Hammered Earring 1 1
Great pair of gold earrings! I needed a new pair of gold earrings, and I wanted something flashy yet tasteful. These fit the bill perfectly. The gold is beautiful, not too shiny and not too muted, which I love. Normally I don't have luck with Bebe earrings because they can be very big and heavy, but these aren't very heavy at all; I can wear them all evening without having to take them off once. These are definitely a good addition to the gold accessory collection, and can be worn with pretty much anything. April 18, 2013

I bought these for my son who is a professional drummer. He had been complaining about carpel tunnel problems. He uses these to practice in and says they help.
I bought this for my mother-in-law, who suffers from carpal tunnel. She has been using it regularly and said it helped her get her grip back. Until she has surgery, she said she will be wearing it every day.

I found these searching for carpal tunnel supports. I work on a computer all day for 9 years now and my hands and wrists are really starting to get more sore more often, though not bad enough for physical therapy or surgery yet. These are thin and supportive. Honestly as soon as I put them on I immediately felt the pain lesson. The flexablity in the glove still allows for easy movement, no constraints, at getting what I need to done! I love them!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Perfect summer slip This is the perfect summer layering slip. Soft, comfortable, and not too short or too long. I don't know about the other two colors, but the charcoal is a double layered gauze, so it isn't really see through. The trim at the bottom is a soft metallic silver. I am 5'2" and the slip is long enough for me to wear alone as a dress. If you are trying to decide between an XSmall and a Small, here are the measurements of the XSmall I received: length at middle: 32 1/2" length at side: 36" bust all around: 36" armhole drop: 10" Thin enough for summer, yet I can see wearing it under a sweater when the weather gets cooler. I might have to get the other colors, too! 7.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by YoMama Understated perfection. Based on other reviews, I ordered an xs and it fits perfectly (5'5, 112 lbs). The hem length varies around the bottom of the dress, and there is plenty of length - even for a fit 48 year-old. (It looks much shorter in the photos probably because the models are so tall.) The dress is sheer, but lined, so wearing nude-colored undergarments is all you need to made it work. It's a lovely and unique piece that can be casual or dressed up. Very happy to own it. 9.2.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by BigMacAttacks Big Ithe dress is gorgeous, unfortuntaley , it is huge, im 5'1, 105 lbs and XS is still big, i do not know why FP keep making HUGE dresses, anyways, I just love this store and I will have to send this dress to the tailor- I have to fix all the dresses from this store- Since i m so far to have to model body!. I m latin and we tend to be curvy and short... 8.16.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by skylarquinn i love this dress, but... when i saw this dress i got so excited. every year fp puts out a dress that is a "twin" to this dress. my favorite was the floral one a year or so back. anyways i thought it would be just like that. even though it is a physically cool. flattering, comfy, unstructured dress that can be worn to many an occasion, it's still kind of plain. the boarder saves it with a little bit of sparkle and girliness, i did like it so much i wanted it in all three colors but the dark color was sold out by the time i went to get it. the price is right and i would recommend it. it is short in the front if that matters to you, just fyi. 8.6.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Xiaoxiao Confused I have to say I am quite disappointed at FP's recent new clothes - I am guessing they hired a bunch of new buyers. So I keep going back to older/classic designes, like this FP-1 dress. It looks the same as the previous FP-1 New Crinkle Floral Dress, which I loved, but when I got it in mail I cannot say I am not disappointed. The Material is cheap, the fit is not flattering at all, the color combo looks horrifying (black and deep purple)... The only improvement is a inside-lining/tank has been added so I guess it wont be too see-thru. That being said, I still need return mine asap. 7.22.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by gwengwengwen awful fabric was so excited to wear this dress under the teal chunky cable jumper for a christmas party... but when i tried on the dress... my finger went through the fabric. the dress fit perfectly, but again, the fabric was so weak, that my finger went right through it. absurd! tissue paper is stronger than this dress! 12.27.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by C316 MUST HAVE I never write reviews but I am in love with this dress. In my opinion, the mint is the best color but the white is great too, and for this price, get both! It is very loose but looks so cute belted. It is short when belted so I would recommend for those who don't mind that too much. I am curvy and I find this dress to be forgiving where I want it to be. I purchased the xs in mint and it fits fine. second time around, I purchased the small just because I saw it was an inch longer. otherwise I'm not sure it would make much difference with the fit of the dress. For reference, I am 5'4 and 145lbs so the dress runs large I would say. 12.26.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by J1234 Worth the sale price I love this dress! I bought it in white at the sale price in a small. I am 5'4 130 pounds with 32 Ds and it fits great, not too short, not see through and looks good belted or not. I would highly suggest purchasing if they have it in your size at the sale price. 12.25.2012

Hello wonderful experts. Many of us benefit from the generous time you take to answer our questions. I had severe preeclampsia at 26 and 29 weeks in 1994 & 1997. I was recently diagnosed with FVL, heterozygous. I have access to a scholarly database and have done quite a bit of research on the prevalence of clotting disorders in women who have experienced severe preeclampsia, remote from term. It also appears that treatment with LMWH (low molecular weight heparin) and low dose aspirin are showing better outcomes in subsequent pregnancies. I realize that there will need to be many more studies, randomized, double blind, etc. before this could be evidence based, but what are your thoughts? When I asked my Perinatolgist what his experience was with this, he gave me his opinion based on experience in his practice and told me he was seeing good outcomes with this therapy regimen. What's the latest evidence that you find supports this and what feelings do you have in general about this treatment? I have a new partner (5 years new) and want to try for a child of our own.
Again, thank you for your thoughtful reply.

From NeuroLex
What is a category page? What is a page?
The NeuroLex is built using something called the Semantic MediaWiki. We chose this platform because it makes it easier to go between the formal ontologies and the Wiki space. It can be a little confusing to get started and to understand its structure. We have created several video tutorials explaining the structure of the NeuroLex and how to edit it. These tutorials are available from the page, How to Contribute to the NeuroLex. We'll be adding more in the future.
How are categories related to one another in NeuroLex?
NeuroLex was designed as a single tree hierarchy, that is, a given category has one and only one parent category (super category) and one or more children categories. A category is related to its parent and children through a "is a type of" relationship, also called an "is a" relationship. So, a Neuron "is a type of" Cell; a "Purkinje cell" is a type of" Neuron. In order to make sure that each Category is related to its parent only through an "is a" relationship, NeuroLex has created some contrived categories, e.g., Regional part of brain; Cytoarchitectural part of hippocampal formation". We are preparing some additional documents to provide the rationale for this design, but for now, they provide useful buckets into which we can place information. The next phase will be more tricky, as we define other relationships between categories that are necessary to build a network of neuroscience concepts. The NeuroLex lets you define other relationships between Categories, e.g., "Is part of"; "Located in"; "Neurotransmitter". For a list of these properties, please see Special pages. When you are defining relationships between categories, you should make sure that you use the correct relationship. The easiest way to do this, is to create a sentence with a subject (Category 1) a predicate (relationship) and an object (Category 2). The Thalamus "is part of" the Diencephalon.
How do I add a new class?
You can find a quick start guide here.
How is the NeuroLex different from Wikipedia or any other Wiki-based encyclopedia for neuroscience?
The NeuroLex is interested in defining the meaning of concepts and not in providing general information about the concept. It is a dictionary rather than an encyclopedia. We want to make explicit the way in which a concept is defined so that it can be consistently applied to data annotation. We aren't interested in creating the "right" definition of a term like basal ganglia, but to allow the community to tell us the many ways in which it is defined. Thus, we have created a definition template and some policies that allows the user to provide the required information in a form that's easy for automated agents to understand.
Do I need an account to contribute to the NeuroLex?
No, you do not need an account. We want the NeuroLex to provide a very low barrier entry point for you to contribute your knowledge. We view the NeuroLex as the marketplace of ideas for neuroscience concepts. However, if you do get an account, all of your contributions will be linked to you.
Is NeuroLex curated?
Yes, it is. We monitor the NeuroLex regularly. Some of the content of the NeuroLex is already being incorporated into our ontologies by knowledge engineers working on the NIF. We will certainly remove any content that is inappropriate (i.e., doesn't fall within our scope, is obscene or inflammatory). We will also update entries that have been incorporated into the NIFSTD ontologies so that the concept can recieve an appropriate version number. But the NeuroLex is meant to be a community resource and needs to evolve in a way that is useful to the community. So we will adjust our curation policies if necessary as we go.
What are some best practices for defining my new term?
The primary purpose of terms in Neurolex is for the annotation of data. Therefore, the definition should provide the meaning of the term in a way that distinguishes it from other related terms (monothetic) so that users will know how to apply that term to their data. We favor the Aristotelian approach: A "is a type of" B "which has" C. B gives the parent class (see above); C gives one or more properties that distinguishes that class from all other related classes.
Definitions for brain regions
When defining a brain region, the definition should include:
- "Differentia" or what makes this brain region different from another brain region (Defining criteria)
- The smallest "classical anatomical reference" that the brain region is contained within (Is part of)
- Organism that it is observed in (Species)
We prefer that people add information in the fields specified in the form (field names in parentheses), but we will accept free text in the definition field containing the information above.
What are some best practices for choosing the name of a new concept?
Names need to be unique.
Names for brain regions
Area name first, and if needed, the reference the area comes from, labelled with the name of the first author and the year in parentheses.
- ex: Area 10M of Ongur (2003)
What is NeuroNames?
NeuroNames is another name for the resource BrainInfo. This resource has a lot of information about brain regions, so we frequently link out to it. To find the NeuroNames ID for a brain region, simply use the search at the BrainInfo site to find the structure you are interested in. Once you click on one of the results that comes back to you, you'll go to a page with a URL like the following:
The NeuroNames ID is the number after "ID=" in the URL. If you put this number into a NeuroLex form when it is asked, it will link back to this page automatically.
How can I get a private page to play around with that won't affect the rest of the site?
- From the main page, click on the upper right hand corner link that says "log in / create account"
- Click the link where it says: Don't have a login? Create an account.
- Fill out the form, including the little word puzzle at the top that verifies you are a human :)
- Once you have created the account, click the same link again in the upper right to log in
- Once you are logged in, you should see several links in the upper right hand corner. One of them will have the user name that you have chosen (next a little icon of a person). Click your user name link.
- This is your private page. Any edits that you make here will not be visible to other users.
Why are there so many different types of brain parts?
There are many different ways to divide up the brain. Although Neurolex takes a structural approach, i.e., we haven't yet defined neural systems like the visual system, we are still left with gross anatomy, cytoarchitecture, chemoarchitecture and connectivity, to name a few. Neurolex is concerned with building formal vocabularies for information systems. We therefore have to make sure that we create our ontologies as cleanly as possible, without mixing up all of these different types of parts. However, we don't expect a naive user to navigate all of these complexities. We therefore set up a few different types of categories into which users can deposit their brain parts. We are still trying to determine whether this is a useful exercise or not, but so far it seems to be working. We have started a page where we document our current categories (http://neurolex.org/wiki/Brain_parts_organization).
How can I get a list of the recent new categories?
- Quick way: click here
- Advanced way: From the new pages special page, select 'all' from the Namespace pull-down. It will show you the new categories that have been added recently. You may also filter out modifications to pages as you'd see in the recent changes list. Adding a user name to the form will let you look at new categories that a particular user name has added.
How can I see what categories have changed in a specific period of time?
Click here to see an example of how to see all classes that have changed after a particular date
What should I include in the description of a resource?
Copy or write a description of the resource, which will enable the general neuroscience public to discern whether or not the resource is likely to have the information that the person is looking for. This can often be obtained by reading the "about us" section of the resource. The first 3 sentences should contain the description of the resource and what one can get from it. An example is: CCDB is a database that contains high resolution images of cells For more information try https://confluence.crbs.ucsd.edu/display/NIF/Curation+Workflow and https://confluence.crbs.ucsd.edu/display/NIF/Curation+Best+Practices
What is a DISCO Sitemap and how do I generate one?
A DISCO Sitemap or Resource Description file is a service provided by the DISCO protocol that keeps your NIF Registry description up-to-date and informs search engines about your resource. DISCO can ingest many formats, such as the native "disco.rd", the NIF "disco.rd.nif.rdf" and the National Center for Biomedical Computing's Biositemap formats. Resource owners may login (upper right) and find their resource. Under the "Are you the owner of this resource?" section, click on the [Clink here to generate sitemap] link and follow the instructions.

La Roche Maintains Top Position
Bossard swats 8 balls
- Release Date:
- December 4, 2010
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hamburg, NY – Freshman Casie Cygan had game highs 20 points and 6 steals to lead the La Roche women's basketball team to a 97 – 27 victory over the Hilbert Hawks on December 4. The RedHawks (7-1) maintain their top position in the AMCC league standings with their second win in as many tries. Hilbert dropped their first conference game and move to 1-5 overall.
At 15:38, Hilbert put their first points on the board off an Amber Grosch (Depew, NY/Depew) traditional 3-point play. By that time, the visitors held a 21-3 lead and continued to push forward to a 58-13 half time score. La Roche had a 33-17 advantage on the boards, while shooting a hot 47% from behind the 3 point arc. Julie Bossard (Arkport, NY/Canisteo-Greenwood) had the best stats across the board for the Hawks with 5 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Hilbert defensively prevented La Roche from hitting the century mark. With 5 and a half minutes left to go in the game and the score at 97-21, Bossard swatted 4 balls herself to finish with 8 for the game, giving her sole possession of the AMCC Individual Game High for the season.
Bossard {in photo to right} finished with 9 points and shared game-high rebounding honors with teammate Grosch (9). La Roche's AMCC Preseason Player of the Year, Chantelle Jennings, had a solid game shooting 6-9 (2-3 from arc), perfect from the charity stripe to pair with 2 assists, 2 steals and no turnovers. Five RedHawks scored in double figures and as a team outrebounded Hilbert 67-43 (37 offensive).
Up next in conference play, Hilbert hosts Penn State Behrend on December 8 in a 6pm start.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
Having humiliated myself painfully last week with the Girl Guide uniform incident, I thought a little decorum was in order this time around.
There was a time when my bedroom was a mecca to soft toys and dolls. Today I am reviving a few of them. Some, in person, since they still sit (largely eyeless and semi-stuffed) in a box in my spare room all these years later. Some, in memory only, since they failed to survive the endless house moves and growing up over the decades.
Some of these toys bear evidence of the affection which I felt for them in the form of scarred faces and missing eyes. The endless hugging and dragging must have taken its toll. Others, like Woody and Buzz, have gone to better homes, to a new sanctuary who will love them until their faces fall off.
I am sure you will remember Sweep, Basil Brush and Paddington Bear well enough. Cabbage Patch dolls were not allowed to darken our doorstep. "Vile things, " I am pretty sure my Mother would have said (only based on the logic that it's what I would say now if my child wanted one). The others are my own little chaps.
Most controversially of all, perhaps, I have included Old Golly. He was a pal for many years, a sign of more innocent times perhaps, or ignorant times? I loved him like all the others, and since he forms an integral part of my childhood memories, he must be commemorated on these pages alongside his contemporaries.
Call me a sentimental old boot, but I can't see myself ever disposing of these fellas. They aren't particularly soft and were never all that cuddly, but they were our companions through the adventurous and heady years of childhood, and therefore, in my opinion, worthy of a photo shoot all of their very own, and a place in my heart forever.
NOW, what are your memories of the cuddly toys from your era? Post an entry to your own Blog and use the Linky tool (link below) to enter your memories into the fray. If you like, just leave a comment and join in that way, but do join in.
If you feel sexy, grab the code too (just follow the link) and post it into your Blog entry – that way, everyone can pay it forward as they say – it's good to share.

Medical Walking Boots & Braces
Medical walking boots are used to protect the foot and ankle after an injury or surgery. They are commonly used for stress fractures, shin splints, broken foot or ankle bones, and severe ankle sprains. Medical walking boots aid in the beginning of the rehabilitation process by stabilizing and protecting the area while it heals. As the foot or leg begins to heal, a walking brace slowly allows weight to be put onto the injured foot as the person transitions towards a full recovery.

Scientists are interested in what children are thinking, but pinpointing their thoughts isn't exactly an easy thing to do.
Instead, a recent study in PLOS Biology was conducted in the hope it would help depict how the brain process works and reacts in educational settings. "Sesame Street" was used as a way to test what happens on a neurological level during a popular TV program specifically aimed at learning by comparing the brains of adults and children.
"We're kind of honing in on what brain regions are important for real-world mathematics learning in children," said lead study author Jessica Cantlon, assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester.
Participants included 27 normally developing children, ages 4 to 10, and 20 adults between the ages of 18 and 25. Each participant took part in one or more of the three components to the study. Researchers focused on what happens in the brain during mathematical lessons by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure the neural activity in participants.
Part of the experiment had children and adults watch the same 20-minute montage of clips from "Sesame Street," and the fMRI scanner measured their brain activity for the duration of the video. In a different task, participants had to determine whether the stimuli they were shown, such as faces and numbers, were the same. Some clips were related to counting, while others were about colors, animals and other non-math topics. The children were given standardized IQ tests after the scanning.
The results showed that adult-like brain responses tended to show up in kids who demonstrated higher math and verbal knowledge levels. A brain region called the interparietal sulcus appeared to be linked to mathematics, as activity in that area tended to increase during math-related "Sesame Street" segments. However, the researchers do not have enough evidence to know if these neural patterns are the cause or effect of learning.

text: Just last week I had preeclampsia. My daughter was born at 30 weeks. She is now 2lbs 10oz and breathing on her own. I was discharged from the hospital still with my pressure high but not high enough to put be on blood pressure medicine. I still experience swelling in my feet. Is this common after the preeclampsia? I am not on any medication, but I am watching my salt intake and diet. Does this mean that any other problems might have occurred after the preeclampsia like congested heart failure or liver/kidney failure?

I think the The rumor mill is getting less foggy Rene. I think we now see the $99 price point that has been talked about Apple needing to hit.
My call - 2009 - 3 apple iPhones - 32G $299 - 16G $199 - and the 8G $99 a price that apple will again set the bar that will be very well received in our recent economy.
$99 iPhone 3G Not from Walmart but Refurb from AT&T!
Now they don't celebrate Boxing Day in the US (think Black Friday the day after Xmas), but it seems no one told AT&T! Why else would the carrier race Walmart to the bottom and offer $99 iPhone's: 8GB refurbs (and $199 16GB refurbs as well!) according to Engadget.
Since those rumors of Walmart selling them that cheap didn't pan out (according to BGR, they'll be putting them on sale -- new -- for a couple bucks below retail on Sunday), and you still haven't gotten an iPhone (or several) of your very own, will this finally get you to take the plunge?
(Thanks to KurtLyon for the tip!)

I think the The rumor mill is getting less foggy Rene. I think we now see the $99 price point that has been talked about Apple needing to hit.
Wait for the ZunePhone people!
Kurt Lyon basically summed it up. that was exactly what i was going to say lol
@steveballmer and wait for Vista, as well as WinMo 7, @ 45yrs of age I can't wait that long. ROFL
Well for me this $99 price point made me take the leap and switch over to AT&T and the iPhone. Sure its refurbished but that doesn't really matter to me, another ones trash is another mans gold so to speak. I've wanted one for the longest time but find myself shrugging it off. With this limited price point for the refurbed phones, I coudlent go wrong.

Chattanooga Mocs Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at Samford
Siebert Stadium (7,600) – Birmingham, Ala.
Saturday – Nov. 16, 2013
Head Coach Russ Huesman
On the play in the fourth quarter and overtime:
"Great job by our team. Unbelievable effort. Wes Dothard's interception…he makes plays all of the time. Got us back in it, then our offense goes down and scores. That was huge. Overtime…it was tough. Our defense stood tough and forced them to kick a field goal. We don't convert on a third down play and we miss a field goal. We had opportunities to win that game. We made so many mistakes during the course of that game, by a bunch of people. Me included. You can't base a win or a loss on one or two things that happen during the course of the game."
On Jacob Huesman's play, despite a sore knee:
"I don't think it changed our offense. We tried to run him, there was just no running room inside. We didn't block them great. We had to get it on the perimeter. You guys could see…all of the jet-sweep stuff. We were not limiting him in what he did, there were just nothing in there."
On what he said to Nick Pollard after the game:
"I said that if he blames himself for this loss, I will never forgive him. I told him I loved him. This loss is not on Nick Pollard. This is on me."
On the momentum shift following Dothard's pick-6:
"Unbelievable. Our guys, they don't quit. Our sideline was not dead. Other than two big pass plays, I thought we played really good defense. They caught the one big one, then the other one we blitzed. Other than that…I thought our defense played really well."
Does having already clinching at least a share of the SoCon title soften the blow of this loss:
"I told the guys, I know you are disappointed. We all are, but you are conference champions. You have won a conference championship. You have won one, and we are probably going to the playoffs. Everybody would have signed up for that before the season started, no question. This is a tough one to lose. Samford did a great job. They played hard, they had a great game plan. They did a great job."

Estonia, a small country with a population of 1.3 million people, punches above its own weight when it comes to advancements in tech. It was the birthplace of Skype, one of the first countries to have a government that was fully e-enabled, and now it has launched a nationwide scheme to teach school kids from the age of seven to 19, how to write code. The idea isn't to start churning out app developers of the future, but people who have smarter relationships with technology, computers and the Web .
There are 550 schools in this Eastern European country, and as the new term starts this month around 20 of them will take part in the pilot program. It's called ProgeTiiger (pronounced, "proga-tiger"), and is a public private partnership that's getting about 70,000 euros from the government till the end of this year. The money goes to course material for participating schools, whose teachers will also get specialized training. A Finnish IT company called Tieto is advising the program.
This is the brainchild of Ave Lauringson, who found herself talking to a friend about teaching school kids to code in December 2011, while driving cross-country. "In Estonia, kids are walking around with Pampers and iPads, so we see that there has to be some logical movement with tech," says Lauringson, who acts as project manager for ProgeTiiger.
She knows it's unusual for a nationwide school system to teach kids about coding at this young an age. "It's a unique project. [Other countries] want to start programming in secondary school, but they don't dare to start in the first grade."
So why start so early? "We want to change thinking that computers and programs are just things as they are. There is an opportunity to create something, and be a smart user of technology," she says. Lauringson started the project not long after completing three years of maternity leave, and has a son in kindergarden. "He is four years old, and I am thinking of ways to start [him] programming," she says.
For the youngest students, the new courses won't be strictly focused on learning programming languages like Java, Perl and C++. Rather they'll ease kids into the necessary skills for coding like logic, which has the benefit of some overlap with subjects like math and potentially, robotics.
ProgeTiiger is a project of Estonia's Tiger Leap Foundation, a 16-year-old, government-sponsored organization that promotes technology and science in schools. It completed one of its first tasks, to get all the country's schools connected to the internet, within four years make Estonia the first country in Europe that had a permanent DSL connection in every school.
"We have only 1.3 million people, so it's very easy for us to develop these kinds of projects," says Lauringson. "Estonia is like a little model country to start new projects like this." She adds a note of caution though: "We dare, but we don't know what's going to happen."

It was the first opportunity council members had to publicly question the budget's architects. The proposed budget would cover the first half of 2013. The city is switching over to a fiscal year starting in July.
Many council members expressed concern over the plan to use $21 million from a proposed 30-year lease of the city's parking meters, garages and lots to help close a $34 million budget deficit.
"It seems like … the city budget wins, but the citizens are losing," said Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld.
City Manager Milton Dohoney said the parking facilities net Cincinnati about $7 million a year. That would equal out to about $210 million over 30 years.
Sittenfeld called into question the wisdom of leasing the facilities for an estimated $50 million and taking half of the profit, for an earnings of about $150 million over 30 years.
Other council members expressed concern that whoever leased the parking would hike rates, something Councilman Cecil Thomas dismissed.
"The market would dictate the rates that are charged," he said.
Dohoney said a combination of cuts, savings, revenue, projected growth and one-time funding sources helped eliminate the $34 million deficit. He said a budget containing only cuts would result in the layoff of 344 city workers.
A slide show provided by the city showed that 802 positions had been cut since 2000.
Dohoney advocated eliminating the property tax rollback promised as part of the deal to build two new sports stadiums in 1996. He said it would bring in about $9 million a year. However council has had little appetite to allow any increase in taxes as the city recovers from the Great Recession. Property taxes make up about 6 percent of the budget fund used to pay most of the city's operating expenses.
The cuts proposed in the 2013 budget include eliminating
support for public access company Media Bridges, the Downtown and
Neighborhood Gateways Program, Juvenile Firesetter Program and Arts
It would also eliminate the Cincinnati Police Department's Mounted Patrol, which covers downtown on horseback. Dohoney said that would allow Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig to redeploy those nine officers elsewhere. Dohoney said Craig had asked for a new recruit class of 50, but Dohoney requested 30. He said the additional nine from the horse patrol would bring that closer to 40.
Dohoney said he was also allowing 10 additional recruits to cover patrols of University Hospital, which is no longer going to use University of Cincinnati police starting Jan. 1.
He said the police department would also look for ways to save money by increasing the involvement of civilian members who could do things like take reports of non-injury car accidents.
Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan asked if the budgeteers had considered restructuring the police force to save money. She has long been a proponent of "right-sizing" the police and fire forces, saying staffing levels remain at a high while the city's population is shrinking.
The proposed budget also includes investments in business groups that promote economic development, like the Port Authority, Greater Cincinnati Partnership, Film Commission and African American Chamber of Commerce.
Councilman Chris Seelbach praised Dohoney and his budget team, saying he saw Cincinnati as being better off than it had been six years ago. But he also said he'd like to see the administration focus on people who are barely getting by instead of businesses and developers.
"There is a focus on helping people make more money that are already making a lot of money," Seelbach said. "Helping people that aren't paying a lot of taxes still pay very little."
Cincinnatians can weigh in on the budget in a public hearing Thursday evening at 6 p.m.
As has become the norm during the last few election cycles, Cincinnati's police union is reluctant to publicly reveal its full slate of endorsements, for some strange reason. No matter: CityBeat managed to get this year's information.
Working through multiple sources at different campaigns, we've compiled what we believe to be an all-inclusive list of endorsements made by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), Queen City Lodge No. 69.
Despite all the fiery rhetoric and political grandstanding at a special City Council meeting Thursday evening at the Duke Energy Center, residents might not notice much of a difference if the city manager decides to lay off 138 people in the Cincinnati Police Department.
Even with proposed layoffs, the Police Department's staffing level still would be within the range that Chief Thomas Streicher Jr. said was sufficient just a few years ago.
It's the 1980s and '90s all over again in Cincinnati.
In a blatant attempt to do an end-run around the mayor, four members of Cincinnati City Council met with The Enquirer's editorial board today to unveil a budget-cutting plan that includes merging the city's Police Department with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
The council faction hadn't discussed the far-reaching concept previously with Mayor Mark Mallory or City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. but had held discussions with Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. about the idea.
Once upon a time, there was a mockumentary made about the Punk band, the Sex Pistols. Filmed some 30 years ago, The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle parodied the cliches of the music industry by charting the creation, rise and breakup of the group.
Now, the leader of Cincinnati's police union has formed a similarly titled group on Facebook, called Citizens Against Streetcar Swindle (CASS).
With a current budget proposal pending before Cincinnati City Council calling for laying off up to 112 police officers, police supervisors are working on a new plan for responding to calls for service.
The plan, dubbed the Police Differential Response Program, is an attempt to reduce the number of calls for service that the department responds to on a daily basis. Under the plan, police won't send a patrol car for certain types of calls.
A sanitation worker has filed an incident report with Cincinnati Police alleging City Councilman Chris Bortz threatened him and used a racial slur while doing so.
The alleged incident occurred Thursday morning outside of Bortz' townhouse in Mount Adams, when the worker blew the horn on his garbage truck a few times because the vehicle's path was blocked by the councilman's parked car.
Forget what Lou Dobbs, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and U.S. Sen. John McCain are saying about the dangers coming into this nation from Mexico. A recent study suggests it's Mexicans who should be irate about the United States.
Police reports have already shown that crime is actually down in many towns along the U.S.-Mexico border, despite the fear-mongering tactics used by politicians who want to crack down on illegal immigration. And even Brewer was forced to admit earlier this month that no decapitated bodies have been found by U.S. law enforcement personnel, as she previously claimed.
Our friends at Pittsburgh City Paper have roundup stories and a comprehensive blog section of coverage from the recent G-20 summit in their town (with some video, including this shot of police roughing up a protester). Much of the coverage focuses on the arrest of more than 100 people at a demonstration last Friday in the Oakland neighborhood near the University of Pittsburgh.
A web site called What Happened at Pitt?!?! has been launched by students there to focus attention on alleged police misconduct during the protest. As the web site asks, certainly rhetorically, "Why were we beaten? Why were we shot at? Why were we arrested? Why were we treated as criminals in our own neighborhood?" Students are holding a rally tonight called "Oakland Unites for First Amendment Rights."
