Imagine running power lines through a cathedral. That's how archaeologists describe what the Bonneville Power Administration proposes doing in the Columbia River Gorge in Washington state. The federal electricity provider is trying to string a new transmission line near a cave that contains ancient paintings, a site considered sacred by Native Americans.

Oregon and California are locked in a dispute over something that happened 433 years ago, when Sir Francis Drake became the first British explorer to make contact with Native Americans.
It happened on what is now the American West Coast. The question is where? Oregon or California? The National Park Service is now poised to officially recognize one state's claim.

Will Apple's cloud storage and streaming services be known as iCloud?
According to a report by GigaOM, Apple could be shelling out around $4.5 million to buy the domain name iCloud.com, potentially for the long rumored music locker/streaming service. The icloud domain was recently owned by another company that used the name for an online storage service. It has just re-branded its service to CloudMe.
When you visit icloud.com it currently redirects to the new domain cloudme.com but shows a banner informing customers of its re-brand from icloud to cloudme!
My source, who is familiar with the company, says that Xcerion has sold the domain to Apple for about $4.5 million. Xcerion hasn't responded to my queries as yet. At the time of writing, the Whois database showed Xcerion as the owner of iCloud.
We already know that Apple is working on cloud storage and streaming service for iOS devices. Only last week we heard that it has an agreement in place with at least two major recording labels. We expect to hear a lot more about this at WWDC in early June.
Then again, Apple was rumored to be going with iSlate almost up until iPad launched, so is this all part of the name gam
All the bits are starting to fall into place, who's excited?

Helping others who are dealing with trauma can be highly satisfying and rewarding. But it can also take a toll on caregivers - particularly if they have similar issues of their own. You may find yourself comforting a bereaved spouse while you're trying to cope with fears about your spouse's safety. You may work hard getting help and assistance for other people while ignoring your own needs. Over time, the stress of helping others can cause symptoms - anxiety, sleeplessness, irritability - that interfere with everyday life. This response is often referred to as "compassion fatigue" or "secondary traumatic stress."
Left untreated, compassion fatigue can lead to burnout and other conditions that may not go away on their own. If you work with victims of trauma, you can take steps to recognize, limit, and treat these effects.
Clinicians and volunteers who help others are often extremely empathic people. Ombudsmen, Family Readiness Group (FRG) leaders, family programs staff, chaplains, Casualty Assistance Officers, and others are often so generous and caring that they may heighten their vulnerability to compassion fatigue. People may be especially vulnerable if they have experienced unresolved trauma in their own lives or are going through an event at the same time as the people they are treating.
Not everyone who helps others deal with trauma develops compassion fatigue, and signs of stress don't necessarily point to compassion fatigue. They may simply be signals that you are tired or need a break.
Compassion fatigue can happen slowly over time, or it can come on suddenly. The signs are similar to the signs of post-traumatic stress, but can vary greatly among individuals:
Untreated compassion fatigue can impair your performance at work or as a volunteer, so it's important to get help promptly if you feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities. Be aware that help is available for the helper and that you are as important as the people you are helping:
The stress of helping others recover from traumatic experiences goes hand-in-hand with the rewards. If you ever feel overwhelmed, talk with a professional who can suggest ways to help others without neglecting your own needs. You can talk with a health care professional or get in touch with a non-medical counselor through Military OneSource at 800-342-9647. You can also access non-medical counseling services through the Military and Family Life Counselor (MFLC) program. More information is available at your installation Family Support Center.

Dora Van Assen's testimony is one of my favorites!
#80 - "MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND" K. ROSS MCKAY"Some believe that God's satisfaction will be found in the eternal torment of some of His creatures. But John was not speaking of a perverted pleasure when he penned, 'Thou hast created all things and for Thy pleasure they are and were created (Rev. 4:11). God's plan and purpose of the ages (Eph. 3:11) is to include perfectly executed and unique stages of progressive development resulting in the final restoration and reconciliation of all. God has been and always will be in absolute sovereign control over His entire cosmic plan, even unto its ultimate consummation in perfection. His plan for all of humanity cannot fail. All of His working together of good and evil is in perfect harmony and balance. God's love shall not fail. His absolute power and might insures His completing of all He has willed to do, both in our individual salvation, and in the universal salvation that is sure to come."
#81 - "ASK OF ME OF THINGS TO COME" K. ROSS MCKAY"WHO SHALL EVENTUALLY WORSHIP GOD?Every creature Rev. 5:13All flesh Isa. 66:23All the ends of the world Psa. 22:27All the kindreds of the nations Psa. 67:7All the isles of the heathen Zep. 2:11All the nations whom Thou hast made Psa. 86:9; Rev. 15:4All the earth Psa. 66:4The whole earth shall be filled with His glory Psa. 72:19; 97:7."
(every preacher will agree that all people are in Adam but few believe that the word all mean all in the second part of the verse)
Christ was prophesied to take away the sin of the world (Jn. 1:29), so how then can a sinless world suffer everlasting punishment in the lake of fire?! How absurd! Christ is the Saviour of the world (Jn. 4:42; 1Jn. 4:14), and He will save it!"

To The Editor:
As a busy mother and shopkeeper (hence the quick text versus a letter) I have not had the time to enjoy our sidewalks. Wow! I had a whole hour yesterday to get out into the beautiful fall air and walk. The sidewalks are awesome! Got to wear my favorite clogs and stroll about town without worrying about a rock, hole or twisting an ankle. Oh, there was the mud, too. So a thank you to all for a great day!
On another note, what's the town and residents' current stance in either a four-way stop (like East Warren Road has) or an actual light to Bridge Street and 100 intersection and the Village Square, Route 100, TDBank intersection? I've been hit there before. Thanks.

A friend who has celiac was visiting the other day and we were joking about how basically to eat healthy in america you need to go back to 1815--if your great great grandmother wouldn't recognize it as food, then don't eat it. Although many people need supplements and medicines, returning to 1815 in terms of supplementation can also be a good idea.
In the past, parents used cod liver oil regularly to keep children healthy. In the 1890s it was a popular cure for rickets, which is caused by low vitamin D levels. As more over the counter medicines were available to treat symptoms and more prescription medicines were available and our milk became supplemented with vitamin D, cod liver oil became less popular. But cod liver oil has many benefits for kids today. It contains essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA,) vitamin D and natural vitamin A. DHA and EPA are critical for both brain development and function. Vitamin D is important for growth and vision and the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently recommended 400 IU of vitamin D for all babies, children and adolescents. Cod liver oil is a natural source of this important vitamin. Vitamin A and vitamin D allow your body to fight viruses. So if your child is low on either of these vitamins, then you might not be able to fight off a virus you encounter--either in the world or in a vaccine. Taking cod liver oil is insurance that your body has enough of these important vitamins. While some multivitamins contain vitamin A--sometimes your body cannot use the forms that they use because they might need to be converted. In our case, my daughter was unable to convert beta carotene into vitamin A. So although she was taking a compounded vitamin with vitamin A, her body was unable to use it. It is also used as a painkiller and for arthritis and has anti inflammatory properties.
In the Weston Price article Cod Liver Oil: The Number One Superfood there is a great quote on how it helps kid's brains:
"If you want to prevent learning disabilities in your children," said David Horrobin, distinguished medical and biochemical researcher, "feed them cod liver oil.I have recommended fish oil to many In the forties and fifties everyone used to take a teaspoon of cod liver oil daily. We use 1/2-1 tsp cod liver oil daily now, but especially if my kids are fighting a virus or have a fever. Carlson for Kids Cod Liver Oil comes in either lemon or orange flavor. But Carlson's Lemon Flavor Cod Liver Oil is a little easier to find and works just as well. Carlson replaces the air inside the bottle with nitrogen to keep the oil fresh. After you open the bottle, you should keep it in the fridge so it doesn't get fishy.

Days in The Jamming Rooms
by Doctor K on Jun.07, 2012, under Radio
Here's one from the archives: can you believe they actually gave us our own radio show back in 2005? Neither could we, but it happened. The boys from Nitidus were talkin' trash and playin' music from 7pm til 8:30pm every Thursday night on Syn 907 (90.7fm) with a show about Melbourne rock music for Melbourne rock music lovers. Sadly, it's all over now, but here's a few happy snaps from The Jamming Rooms.
by Doctor K on Oct.24, 2011, under Side Projects
When three members of Nitidus get together to form a new project, you know it has to be something special. The original Australian line-up of Ash Fyfe, Kristian "Doc" Grondman and Marki Miklic have teamed up with our good friend Suzy Ferguson (Exile, Lustre) to create Arabela, a new venture into rock, metal and prog.
The band has bunkered themselves into Ash's studio creating the foundations of their debut album, but they have released some demos of the work completed so far. Check 'em out, and look for Arabela on a stage near you!
Shadow Puppet
by Doctor K on Oct.19, 2011, under Side Projects
Calling all New Zealanders, if you haven't seen Shadow Puppet in action, you're missing the best cover band to come out of Christchurch. The band features Nitidus' very own Patrick Clemenger on vocals, plus his brother Luke Clemenger from Powershred on bass and ex-Nitidus drummer Tom Brownlee.
Get connected with this power trio on Facebook or Myspace to find out where they will be performing next!
Our Myspace page gets a paint job
by Doctor K on Nov.30, 2010, under Web Stuff
Thanks to Myspace's new profile designs, I've given the Nitidus page a much needed spruce up. Go check out www.myspace.com/nitidus
Merry Christmas
by Doctor K on Dec.25, 2009, under Shop
Merry Christmas to all the Nitidus fans around the world. We hope you are all having a great time with family and friends, drinking up, eating well and sharing gifts… or sharing gift vouchers for those special hard-to-buy-for people in your lives. No doubt many of you are sitting there right now with a new iTunes gift card in hand wondering what the hell to spend those $20 worth of credits on.
Hey, that reminds me, did you know Nitidus have tracks available on iTunes? Is that a coincidence or what?
Seriously though, they're only 99c each so why not pick up a track or three today and give your iPod/iPhone/etc some Nitidus lovin'. It's ridiculously easy too, just click on the link below:
Share the love and have an awesome new year!
The lost Red Morning video clip
by Doctor K on Dec.18, 2009, under Video
Back in early 2006, we put a call out for anyone who wanted to appear in a new Nitidus video clip. Thanks again to everyone who rocked out with us as we captured the Nitidus rock show on film. Unfortunately, due to certain unresolved issues at the time, the video was never completed… or so we thought.
More than 3 years later, the original music video for 'Red Morning' has been discovered alive and well on YouTube! Check it out:
'Red Morning' is the track that won Nitidus the Hard Rock Artist of the Year award at the 16th Annual Los Angeles Music Awards, and is available on the EP 'Still Here'. This video was directed & edited by Johnny Lukacs with assistant director Adam Papuga, who are also the team that brought you Rook's video for their song 'New Guy'.
Thanks to Naomi and Ash for the heads up, and Merry Christmas to all the Nitidus fans out there!
Nitidus on Gold FM too
by Adam on Dec.14, 2009, under Radio
The Alcock, Thompson and Taylor ad campaign featuring Nitidus track "The Taste" off the 21 Alibis EP extends across the FM network, due to be aired on breakfast radio on 104.3 Gold FM. If you're in the Melbourne area, listen this Thursday 17th Dec from 8.20am. We're told the ad will be on at 8.26am on the dot…. set your alarms if you're like us and not morning people!
Thanks once again to the clan at Alcock's. They have balls!
Nitidus on Triple M
by Adam on Dec.10, 2009, under Radio
If you turned on to 105.1 Triple M in the last two weeks, you will have heard a familiar track amongst Nitidus circles. As part of Alcock, Thompson and Taylor Billiard Tables advertising campaign, The Taste off Nitidus' recent 21 Alibi's EP has been doing the rounds on the M's (we always knew we'd slip it through the back door past the program manager somehow!). To hear Nitidus in gut busting digital surround sound, tune into The Peanut Gallery with Jeff and Paul weeknights from 6.00pm. Oh, yeah… and buy a billiard table from those funky cats at Alcocks…
The Adam, Marki and Doc show is back!
by Doctor K on Aug.26, 2009, under Shows
It's been a while, but we're back! You might remember us from such bands as Nitidus, Shotgun Zero and The West Melbourne Brass Band 12th Division. We're dusting off the drums, guitars, mics and some of the old songs for one more night of rock n' roll.
In fact, I don't want to alarm you, but this may actually be your last chance to see us perform these songs for the rest of the year, so if you want to hear The Taste, What's It Gonna Be and other such nonsense… Saturday night is your night baby!
Get on down to the Three Crowns pub in West Melbourne at 9pm. More details via the FaceSpaceTwit page for those into that sort of thing.
What has PC been doing???
by PC on Jul.29, 2009, under Side Projects
Hey to all the Nitidus clan out there. Finally crawled out from underneath my rock i have been hiding under for the last 15 months. In a covers band in NZ now doing shows a couple of times a week. If you wanna check it out, its www.myspace.com/shadowpuppetnz And yes we are called shadow puppet. Will be back in Australia in about a month's time and Nitidus MAY be doing a gig over that time…Thats about all i have at the moment Miss Nitidus terribly but circumstances changed Nitidus is NOT finished. As Marki, Doc and Ads have indicated, JUST ON HIATUS. Stay tuned…

Hilbert, AMCC represented at 2010 Empire State Games
- Release Date:
- July 27, 2010
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
BUFFALO, NY – The Western men's open basketball team held off Hudson Valley 86-81 on Sunday to clinch the gold medal at the 2010 Empire State Games in Buffalo, NY. Hilbert College men's basketball coach Rob deGrandpre served as one of the coaches for western team, which finished the week with a 3-1 record.
Now in its 32nd year, the Empire State Games is one of the longest tenured amateur sporting events in the United States. Through the years, many Games' alumni have moved on to national, international and Olympic competition. They include world champions, Olympic gold medalists, college and high school All-Americans, professional athletes in the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL - as well as figure skaters, skiers, and soccer players.
The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) was well represented on deGrandpre's 2010 roster. Newly hired Penn State Behrend assistant coach, Corey McAdam laced-up along with University of Pitt-Bradford junior Sam Moore. Pitt-Bradford junior Zach Moore and Hilbert's Chris Parrott served as alternates during the five-day event.
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.

Quick Review: Kindle on iPad
Kindle on iPad is, well, not as good as Kindle on a Kindle or iBooks. That's going to be the bottom line for a lot of people. It works in both portrait and landscape - though curiously I can't find a way to get a two-column book view in landscape. You can do most of the traditional ebook things: change the font size, adjust brightness, jump to any point in the book, have your place saved, etc. On Kindle you can also bookmark pages and add your own notes - all of which get synced up to Amazon's cloud so you can see them on other Kindle devices like your iPhone, a Kindle, etc.
Instead of an in-app store, Amazon sends you to Safari to browse and search for Kindle book - which I don't find especially annoying because the iPad's web browser is so good. Amazon has a slightly better selection of books than Apple does too, though in both cases I often find myself stymied when trying to find a particular book.
With both Kindle and iBooks my basic feeling is that they're good for light reading, but the difficulty of entering and exporting notes means that while I'll use them for entertainment, I won't use them for 'serious' work.
Hopefully Amazon will update this app to support two-column landscape mode soon.
Video and gallery after the break!

Quick Review: Kindle on iPad
(I apologize in advance for the rant)
I think everyone misses the boat in their ereader reviews. Content is king, at the end of the day, you download and use an ereader because you want to read a book. It doesn't matter how fancy it looks or works, what matters most is which ereader (software or hardware) has the best content and can get you to that content the fastest.
I've owned dozens of different hardware and software ereaders, kindle beats them all because of the Amazon store. Amazon has over a decade's experience in selling books. The data they've collected on books (user reviews and linking people to similar books) is priceless. Plus, Amazon knows how to categorize. I downloaded ibooks, but I have yet to buy a book. Can someone tell me how to get to the sci fi section in the ibookstore? Is it me, I can't see one?! On a device sold to techies?!
Amazon kindle store, it's right there on the left side. Plus, you just search for a book you know you like and Amazon recommends a half dozen just like it. For me, that's the story at the end of the day. Not how nicely the pages curl when you turn them...
Amazon had a "slightly" better selection of books??? LMAO on that one. Yeah, just slightly.
Also don't get why I am supposed to care that I can't see two pages side by side. Far as I know you can only read one page at a time.
To the person that asked about magazines - Zinio will be releasing a mag reader for the ipad shortly. I have used zinio to read mags on tablet pc machines for years. Excellent stuff. Magazine subscriptions cost about the same as paper based and download automatically each month. Or you can purchase issues separately.
everyone is pointing out that Amazon has a much bigger selection of books than the Apple store. So.....is the selection for Amazon on an I-pad limited? If not, then what's the big bonus with regards to content/selection of a kindle over the ipad? I understand everyone found the exponential difference between books between the too described as 'slightly more' as ludicrious, but what does that mean for content between the two? If there is no difference between the Kindle app's content for the ipad/iphone and the Kindle itself, isn't everyone's rant on content difference moot?
John was looking for a way to find sci-fi books on iBookstore, and it took me about 5 seconds to find it. Launch iBooks, click on "Store", click on "Categories", and scroll down to "Sci-Fi & Fantasy".
My main problem with Kindle on iPad (and Mac) is that I cannot see all of my Kindle content on it. If I want to read magazine subscriptions (I have a couple) or PDF files that I've sent myself, I need to use the Kindle device. Okay, PDF is no big deal with GoodReader on iPad, but my magazine subscriptions that I purchased to read on my Kindle, I can't read on Kindle on iPad. Which means I'm still carrying around 2 devices. Or more likely, I'm ditching the Kindle device as well as my magazine subscriptions.
I've owned dozens of different hardware and software e-readers, kindle beats them all because of the Amazon store. Amazon has over a decade's experience in selling books.
I unquestionably accept everything you have explained. Actually, I browsed throughout your several other posts and I do think you're absolutely right. Great job with this particular blog.
I rattling thankful to find this internet site on bing, just what I was searching for :D also bookmarked.
I am startled at how many people prefer ibooks to the kindle for iPad-- aside from the number of books (no more need be said), shopping on the ibooks site is very difficult, and the books take much longer to load and are harder to search than the kindle for iPad books... i may be too impatient, but Kindle for iPad makes it clear that you don't have to wait a minute or more for a book to load! the only drawback I have found is that i can't set up "files" to group and store my books on Kindle for iPad, as I can on my Kindle. oh, well...

Q:Is this soap similar to soap during the shark/fin promotion?Asked on 12/17/2014 by koolkatkris from Wichita, KS
1 answer
A:It is! Shark Fin Soap and Sea Vegetable are actually the same soap.Answered on 12/19/2014 by Serena from LUSH Direct
Q:I found a Sea Vegetable Soap the other day, must've been sitting in the cabinet for 3 years or so. I noticed it did not look like the image online. It looks similar but it has snowflakes (looks like crystals)??? Judging from the look of the soap it had been used before. Are these crystals formed from the sea salt? Is this normal?Asked on 12/27/2013 by LUSHhoarder from California
2 answers
A:Our solid products have a shelf life of 14 months, so I would not recommend using this soap if it's 3 years old. Some ingredients will crystalize after extended periods of time.Answered on 2/26/2014 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:I've.. definitely never seen crystals on it before, and I buy a lot of it.
On the other hand, it's soap — if it smells good, it should be okay, right?Answered on 12/27/2013 by Anonymous

Watch out Jones...
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
I personaly don't like Jones but he beats everybody mentioned on this thread.
He beat Goose fair and square although he had the most trouble with him.
He will run through Glover like you won't believe but you better believe.
Everyone with an authodox kickboxing stance will get owned by this dude. Thats why Lyoto was doing so well.
A hyper aggresive unpredictable striker is what beats this freak.
Now who do we know that fits that bill?.....
Although he is primarily a counter striker, I think Anderson would fit the bill the most. I only say that because of that complete onslaught he delivered to Leben in his first fight.
In the history of the LHW division, only one person comes to mind as both hyper aggressive and unpredictable, and that was Pride Shogun, but we all know what happened when they met.
Wand is probably the most hyper aggressive fighter in history, but not unpredictable. Vitor can also be hyper aggressive, but is very technical. Machida, however, is unpredictable, but hardly aggressive.
I don't see JJ losing any time soon, and I believe Gus's best shot was at their first meeting. Gus was able to pepper Jones, but was never able to hurt him (getting cut doesn't necessarily mean being hurt). As Jones said, he prepared wrong for that fight. He probably underestimated Gus's tdd, and I doubt his will make that mistake again.
For the record... I think Machida and Gus have the best chances of beating JJ.

His name is Jon Jones.
I'm starting to think he was born to do this.
If Cormier turns up the way he fought Bigfoot I think he could pose a threat.
If he fights like he did when he fought Nelson he won't last long.
Not sure if Phil Davis will ever have the stand-up to compete at the highest level. With all the coaching he can get, just not sure if he has the striking talent/striking defense it takes...

Handbooks & Policies
The following handbooks - the Staff Handbook and the Administrative and Professional Handbook - are provided for the purpose of explaining the College's general employment policies, salary administration program, leave provisions, and benefit programs.
Staff Handbook
The Staff Handbook applies only to staff employees whose working conditions are protected by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended. This general "umbrella" act established minimum wages, overtime pay, and equal pay requirements. All staff employees are "non-exempt": that is, they are protected by these requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Faculty, administrative and professional employees are "exempt"; that is, they are not covered by some parts of the Act. For example, "exempt" employees may have to work long and irregular hours but are not eligible for overtime pay or compensatory time off.
- Full-time staff employees work at least 35 hours per week for at least 39 weeks or the equivalent thereof (a total of at least 1,365 hours annually). Regular work weeks may be scheduled over 4, 5 or 6 days depending on the requirements of the job assignment.
- Part-time staff employees perform a specific ongoing task and work at least 17 1/2 hours per week for 52 weeks or the equivalent thereof (a total of at least 910 hours annually).
Both full-time and part-time staff employees are eligible for benefits as discussed in the sections on Salary and Benefits.
- Other employees are hired either for a specific assignment of limited duration or as a temporary replacement for an existing position, or they work less than 910 hours annually. Such employees are not entitled to fringe benefits other than Social Security.
View the Staff Non-Discrimination/Non-Harassment Guidelines (Revised April, 2014)
Administrative and Professional Handbook
The Administrative and Professional Handbook applies to administrative and professional employees, who, by the nature of their jobs, meet the general and technical exemption requirements established by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The classification of positions as administrative or professional is identified in the letter of appointment. Employees in this category qualify as "exempt" from the overtime provisions of the FLSA, either because of the scope of their work assignments or because of particular professional requirements of the positions for which they were hired. Administrators and professionals are responsible for completing tasks that may require more than a standard 40 hour work week. Exempt personnel are not subject to time-clock hours, nor are they eligible for overtime pay or compensatory time off.
Exempt personnel may be full-time employees, part-time employees, grant-related employees, and others.
- Full-time employees are hired for full-time responsibilities, as defined in the letter of appointment, for at least 39 weeks per year or at least 75% of full-time year round responsibilities.
- Part-time employees are hired for between 50% and 75% of full-time year round responsibilities.
Full-time and part-time exempt employees are eligible for benefits as discussed in the section on Salary and Benefits.
- Grant-related employees are hired by the College on the basis of a grant made by an outside agency for research or other special programs. These employees are eligible for benefits based on the provisions of the grant as discussed at the time of hiring.
- Other employees are hired for positions with: a) predetermined termination dates for a period of one year or less, or b) a regular work period of less than 50% of full-time year round responsibilities. Employees in these positions are not entitled to benefits.

Breaking Up: the DOs and DON'Ts of Calling It Quits
Breaking Up: the DOs and DON'Ts of Calling It Quits
"It's not you, it's me." "I hope we can still be friends." "I'm just not ready for a relationship right now." Sound familiar? Every relationship is different, but breakups are surprisingly similar. We surveyed men and women on the best and worst ways to end a relationship.SEE MORE
DO break up in person, if it's someone you care about."Obviously don't do it over the phone, by text, or by email. Talk to the person face-to-face and be honest but decent," says Rob, 34, from Chicago.
DO prepare what you'll say in advance of the breakup conversation."Write the mental script," advises Mike, 31, from Los Angeles. By planning the conversation ahead of time, you'll be less anxious and more emotionally equipped to end the relationship.
DO tell the truth about why you want to break up.You might be tempted to sugarcoat, but the best approach is honesty. "He has a right to know what went wrong in the relationship," says Laura Berman, sex therapist and author of Book of Love. "Don't leave him guessing or assuming the worst."
But DON'T delve into every relationship issue.Practice self-censorship, says Berman. "Don't provide gory details. He doesn't need to know that you have an eye on your cute co-worker or that you are eager to get back on the dating circuit."
DON'T break up while under the influence."He was young and cute, and it wasn't a relationship that was going anywhere," says Sara, 32, from Evanston, Ill. "After a night of drinking, I decided it was time to call it quits. He begged to stay the night, and because I was also drunk, I obliged. The next morning he rolled over and looked lovingly at me, and I realized he didn't remember the night before. No one likes having to break up with someone, but having to do it twice? The lesson learned was to never break up while intoxicated."
DON'T give him false hope that things could work out in the future.It might seem like you're softening the blow, but it only prolongs the pain to say things could change. "I've fallen victim to the 'now is just not a good time for me to be in a relationship' bit," says Carly, 30, from Green Bay, Wis. "It's never a clean break when the dumpee thinks the dumper just needs a little time to come around."
DO try to end on good terms, but DON'T expect closure."Just walk away," says Kelsey, 30, from San Francisco. "Closure is not always possible, and even if you seek it, you may never get it. Also, it's always good to make sure you keep those rose-colored glasses at bay in the weeks after a breakup."
DON'T stay in touch…at least, not right after your breakup."A breakup is a breakup. Don't try to contact him out of pity or to 'check up' on him, even if you feel a twinge of jealousy when you see him with someone new," says Berman. "Move forward and give each other room to heal in peace."
DON'T break up and make up."Be wary about getting back together after breaking up," says Stacy, 31, from Chicago. "In many cases—though not all—you end up breaking up again for the very same reason as the first time." Make sure you're ending the relationship for the right reasons, and then move on to a new one.
DON'T shine a spotlight on the breakup."If you have mutual friends, refrain from sharing personal information or from making people choose sides," says Berman. "Avoid posting such information on Facebook as well. Remember: Breakups are bad enough without the whole world watching."
DON'T bounce back too quickly after a breakup.When it comes to dating again, figure out if you're really ready. "Don't rebound instantly, but if you do, realize that's what it is," says Joe, 38, from Chicago. "If you truly like the new person, then be patient, open, and honest so he or she knows where you're coming from. Once you're hanging with him or her for more than a month, the rebound talk is null and void."
DO be the bigger person in the breakup."Keep your integrity," says Kendra, 30, from Cincinnati. "When my ex and I were in the process of breaking up, neither of us said terrible things to each other. Even though I was thinking some God-awful things, I knew it wouldn't make me feel any better at that moment or in the near future if I verbalized them. It's much better to exit the relationship with grace."

Disc 1
1. When Pigs Fly: With Josh still living in the city to earn a paycheck and Brent living full time at the farm to launch their organic lifestyle brand, the couple tries to make the most of their weekends together on the farm. Brent and Josh welcome two new residents to their growing family as they bring home a pair of baby pigs who seem more than a bit reluctant to join the Beekman menagerie. Later, Josh asks Brent to come into the city for the first reading of his new book, but Brent says he's too busy with the business and Josh is left disappointed. Personal feelings are quickly put aside after Polka Spot, the llama, appears to have become ill after her feeding. Brent's calm doctor skills take over, while Josh sets off in a panic, only to later discover that the llama was simply sunning herself. Josh heads back to the city for the week and has a successful first reading of his book as he recounts the first time he met Brent's former boss, Martha Stewart. When Josh returns to the farm looking forward to a relaxing weekend, Brent has other plans in mind and immediately sets off to do work. Josh can't handle the fact that Brent has turned their weekend getaway into a business and Brent reminds Josh that they have committed to a year of sacrifice to get their company up and running. But Josh threatens that he'd rather not have a business at all if it means having to sacrifice their relationship in the process.
2. Beekmanpalooza: In order to bring attention and business to Sharon Springs, as well as to the burgeoning Beekman brand, Brent plans a Harvest Weekend. The 3-day event includes a garden party on the Beekman property, a harvest festival in the village and a feast at the American Hotel. Brent stresses out Josh and Farmer John, wanting to make sure everything will go off as perfectly planned and Josh laments that Brent has no idea how to throw a good party. The garden party goes off without a hitch, but the question of whether people will actually show up to the festival still looms. Josh exchanges his farming attire for an outfit more appropriate for debuting their new Beekman cheese at the harvest festival, while Brent frets about the poor attendance. Eventually, the crowds turn out and the festival is a success. At the harvest feast, Josh is dismayed when Brent announces he didn't get them reservations to the gourmet dinner, because he wanted to sell out all the tickets. Brent and Josh resort to eating a less-than farm fresh meal, but still find that the weekend was, in its own way, pretty perfect.
3. Unhappy Birthday: Josh heads home to the Beekman from NYC looking forward to his 40th birthday weekend on the farm. But because Brent has agreed to host the first-ever wedding at the Beekman, Josh's birthday is put on the back burner. Josh has a hard time accepting that the weekend won't be all about him and he freezes Brent out, but his anger is overshadowed by sympathy when the ominous weather threatens to ruin the bride's special day. Brent and Josh pitch in to help with the ceremony, and Josh confesses that his disappointment lies less in the fact that he didn't get a birthday party, and more in that another couple is getting married at the Beekman before themselves. In the end, the wedding goes off without a hitch and Brent gets back into Josh's good graces with a birthday present that truly takes Josh by surprise.
4. Suds & Studs: It's breeding season at Beekman Farm and the action in the barn is like nothing Brent and Josh have experienced before. While Farmer John tends to the goats, Brent finds himself overwhelmed with wrapping and packaging 14,000 bars of soap for a huge order with a looming deadline. With Josh at work in the city, Brent is left to take on the challenge himself, but soon finds he is in over his head. Only Josh and their friends in the village can step in to help save a stubborn Brent from his own soapy self-destruction.
5. Bringing Home the Bacon: An eventful week lies ahead when Brent gets an invitation from Martha Stewart to sample the Beekman cheese at one of her events in the city. Josh decides to stay at the farm and keep things running while Brent gives Martha her first taste of their cheese and anxiously awaits the verdict. But things on the farm are more difficult than usual when the guys are up against the hardest harvest they've ever faced - it is time for their beloved pigs to become dinner. An emotional decision lies before them, but one that makes them realize the true value of the food they put on their plate.
6. The Haunting of Beekman Farm: Josh and Brent have hit the halfway point in their "year of sacrifice," and Josh is having a hard time with their relationship falling by the wayside as Brent pours his attention into the business. A trip together into the city for a black tie event with Martha Stewart does nothing to calm Josh's anxiety about where Brent's priorities lie. But Josh's concerns are soon overshadowed by his fear of all things supernatural when Brent decides to hire ghost hunters to investigate their 200-year-old estate. When the results of the hunt come in, the boys realize the biggest thing to fear may just be that they aren't the only ones living at the Beekman after all.
7. Turkey a la Queens: It's Thanksgiving at Beekman Farm, and Brent and Josh's parents are not only arriving for a visit, but they'll be meeting one another for the first time. With a house full of in-laws, Brent's focus is on everyone having a good time, while all of Josh's attention goes into creating the perfect meal. Farmer John helps out with the harvesting of the Beekman turkey, but worries it isn't quite enough for the family and friends who will be in attendance at dinner. With judgmental parents, goats on the loose and a visit from the Sharon Spring fire department, if Brent and Josh can survive this holiday, it will truly give them something to be thankful for.
8. Three Men and a Baby Goat: It's winter at the Beekman, and Farmer John is saying goodbye to his herd of very pregnant goats and heading into the hospital for hip surgery. Josh and Brent offer to not only pitch in with the care of the animals while John is away, but also offer up Brent's services as a doctor to help nurse John back to health. It doesn't take more than one chaotic feeding session with the goats to make Josh and Brent realize that John needs to get better - fast! Farmer John checks into the Beekman for his recovery with a bit of apprehension over Brent acting as his caretaker for the week. Once Josh heads back to the city, it isn't long before Brent and John begin to butt heads and John quickly plans his escape. But when the goats begin to give birth and one of John's best goats is in danger, it's up to Brent and John to work together in hopes of a miraculous outcome.
9. Le Grand Fromage: Looking for a new way to expand their cheese business, Brent has enlisted Josh's cooking skills to land them a spot on the menu of top chef Jean-Georges' new restaurant, ABC Kitchen. With the pressure of not only cooking for a Michelin-star chef, but also to creatively use products from the farm, Josh's nerves begin to get the best of him. Brent pours his energy into making sure their chickens begin producing eggs in time for the big event, while Farmer John is even busier in the barn with more baby goats than he can possibly name. When it comes to audition time, Josh's culinary skills take over, but in the end, can the Beekman cheese really make the cut?
10. Trouble in Store: Spring has slowly but surely arrived at the Beekman, and while Josh can't wait to begin his gardening season, Brent has other plans in mind. Tired of his current setup, Brent has decided to relocate the Beekman 1802 business to a space on Main Street, and in the process, open up their very first retail store. Josh has his doubts that they can make time for such a commitment, and also worries about the impact of their business on others in the village. When a grand opening day is set and the store space not even close to ready, Brent and Josh are faced with the harsh reality of having to spend their 10-year anniversary apart from one another. Ultimately, the Beekman Boys must decide if their priorities lie with their business and farm, or with one another.

The Florida State Seminoles football program traces its roots back to 1899. The team would transfer to the University of Florida when Florida State became an all-women's college from 1905 to the end of World War II. Once men again began attending Florida State, the program was restarted, setting up the perfect in-state rivalry with the Florida Gators. Florida State's other major rivalry is with the University of Miami (Florida), with whom the Seminoles have long competed for ACC dominance. Some of the great players to wear the Seminoles uniform include Charlie Ward, Chris Weinke, Deion Sanders, and Warrick Dunn, just to name a very few. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Florida State Seminoles football tickets.
Florida State won it all last season, from the National Championship to their QB winning the Heisman trophy, and they'll be favorite to do it all again in 2014. Jameis Winston took the college football world by storm, showing off his impressive arm and decision making down the field throughout the season. When FSU was down in the National Championship Game, Winston didn't blink or struggle – he stepped up and proved why he was the easy choice for the Heisman Trophy. While Winston did lose two of his best receivers, he'll still have Rashad Greene and RB Karlos Williams to help him spearhead the offensive attack in 2014. The Seminoles start off the season with a big test against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Arlington. After a Week 2 game against the Citadel at home, they'll welcome in the Clemson Tigers to Tallahassee. Other big home games include vs. Notre Dame, vs. Virginia, and vs. Florida. The Gators are trying to mount a comeback of their own, so that last regular season game of the season against Florida could be very interesting in two difference conference races.
Check out our Florida State Seminoles Season Preview History page for previews of previous Seminoles seasons.
The Florida State Seminoles play their home games on Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida. The stadium has been home to the Seminoles since 1950 and holds over 82,000 screaming fans. As you approach this historic stadium you'll notice the statue of Chief Osceola with the word "Unconquered" carved below it, as well as a statue of living legend Bobby Bowden. It's a sight that underlines the history and proud tradition of Seminoles football. The Florida State Seminoles sideline is on the Doak Campbell Stadium sideline with sections 27-39. Doak Campbell Stadium parking information is covered in our Seminoles event guide.
Florida Gators, Miami Hurricanes
There's not many rivalries that have produced the games and moments this one has, even going so far as a national title game in 1996 that was won by Florida. Whether it's 94's Choke at Doak or the Sugar Bowl, the names usually involved in this rivalry are legendary. From Bowden to Spurrier to Tebow, this is a game you do not want to miss.
If you've been a football fan over the last 20 years, you've watched some exciting FSU-Miami games. From "Wide Right" 1 & 2 to the 2004 Orange Bowl, we've seen some big games change the national championship landscape of the season on a single pass, run and even kick. The 2006 Seminoles-Hurricanes game is the most watched college football game in ESPN history.
An 89% winning percentage during the 90's really did a great job of putting the Seminoles on the map; their incredible three-year run of making the BCS National Championship separated them from everyone else. A downright dominant College Football program, the Florida State Seminoles has collected a notable 25 plus bowl wins on their resume, which includes a BCS National Championship victory in the 1999 Sugar Bowl and 14 ACC titles. Ticketcity offers tickets to all college football bowl games and the ACC Championship Game.
Prime Time and A.J. Sports are two great sports bars close to campus that are usually full of Seminoles fans before and after games. If you are looking for a great pre-game pizza, try Momo's Pizza, Gaines Street Pies, and Decent Pizza. Barbeque junkies should not miss out on visiting Mo Betta BBQ or Sweet Rack Rib Shack. They are two of the best places for barbeque in Florida. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat before the game try Super Perros, Guthrie's of Tallahassee, or Zaxby's. For a more upscale dining experience check out A La Provence, The Mockingbird, or Cypress Restaurant. Other good places in the area are Kool Beanz Café, Bella Bella, and Sakura.
TicketCity offers a big selection of Florida State football tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. Florida State tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee ACC opponents, like Miami, Clemson and Virginia Tech, can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for unranked, non-conference opponents. Those early season games may offer best opportunity to purchase Florida State tickets near face value.
Parking at Doak Campbell Stadium, like many other college stadiums, is tricky. If you are not a season ticket holder your best bet will be to look to off campus parking. There are a few paid parking lots on Lake Bradford Road to the south of the stadium at Gaines Street. The Civic Center, located at the corner of Pensacola Street and St. Augustine Street offers parking and usually has a paid shuttle to and from the stadium. There are also parking spaces to the west of Doak Campbell Stadium along Ocala and Stadium Drive. Try looking in the neighborhoods around those two streets.
Gates at Doak Campbell Stadium open two hours before kickoff.
The Seminoles 2015-2016 football schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the ACC. Florida State plays in the ACC Atlantic Division, which means games against Clemson, Boston College, North Carolina State and Syracuse. Game times are announced by the ACC as soon as the TV schedule is set. Florida State's home opener is typically one of the most popular games. They also play Florida in the Battle for the Governor's Cup. If you are looking for Seminoles news or scores, then visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official Florida State Seminoles team roster.
All persons entering Doak Campbell Stadium are required to have a ticket.
Florida State Seminoles season tickets are available to buy until kickoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase Florida State football season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Doak Campbell Stadium has a variety of options for in-stadium food, including food giants Chick-fil-a, Chili's and Pizza Hut. Piggy's BBQ offers a fine pulled pork sandwich and Zatarain's is the spot for tasty jambalaya. Wash it down and cool off with an Italian ice from Repicci's.

Thyroid dysfunction and antibodies were not associated with pregnancy complications. Overt hypothyroidism was associated with subsequent maternal thyroid disease [hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval), 17.7 (7.8-40.6)] and diabetes [6.0 (2.2-16.4)]. Subclinical hypothyroidism [3.3 (1.6-6.9)], TPO-Ab-positivity [4.2 (2.3-7.4)], and TG-Ab-positivity [3.3 (1.9-6.0)] were also associated with later thyroid disease. No association was found between thyroid dysfunction/antibodies and hypertension or overall mortality...
This one says, actually, thyroid problems in pregnancy are only predictive of later thyroid problems. So here's more of that correlation/causation problem -- is it that there's subclinical thyroid problems in more PE patients but that it isn't predictive of PE, or what?

It's been an exciting week at Compassion Canada as we've waited anxiously for this past Monday — the day we'd learn who won the Battle of the Blades.
Over the last few weeks, we've seen Valeri Bure, Katia Gordeeva and seven other pairs of skaters compete to win $100,000 for the charity of their choice.
There have been some tense moments with Val and Katia finding themselves in the skate-off three times during the competition (twice in the first three weeks) and a misstep in week seven that could have cost them the competition.
On Sunday night, they and all the skaters performed magnificently, leaving viewers with a difficult choice. Although all deserved to walk away the champion, only one couple could be named the victor.
And it's our great honor to announce that Valeri Bure and Katia Gordeeva won the Battle of the Blades!
What does this mean for Compassion?
With Val's share of the $100,000 grand prize, we will be fully funding a Child Survival Program in the Dominican Republic, rescuing moms and babies from danger — and giving them the opportunity to take their first steps into a life of promise and purpose in Jesus Christ!
We are incredibly blessed to have been named Val's charity of choice and are so grateful to all of you who watched and voted for Val and Katia.
From all of us at Compassion Canada, thanks so much for all your prayers and support!

I'm 20 weeks today and had my level II u/s this past Tuesday! I was so nervous but EVERYTHING was normal. They did a very thorough job even looking closely for heart defects and cleft lip/palate. It's a boy! He measured exactly where he should be right now and was very active. They also did a uterine artery u/s and it looked normal. For awhile the doctor thought the placenta was rather close to the cervix, but realized the uterus was contracting a bit at the time.
So I'm getting ultrasounds at least once monthly.
Very thankful!!!

Oh Geesh, where to begin?!?!
Went in for my NST. Baby did great! I had a horrible headache. My usual nurse came into check on me. I told her and she told me that I had a +1 protein. She took my BP, 160/100. They sent me over to the hospital, naturally! UGGHHH! Of course I get there and my BP is good and NO protein in urine. PIH labs came back good, again! My OB came in and asked what the deal was with me? lol She let me go home...after one more reading. It was 137/97. At that time, she said I could go home only if I promised to go home and lay on my left side. I assured her that I would. Right after I post this! :) I asked again for a 'game plan' she said and I quote..."well, we got you to 34 weeks, our goal! If all your labs keep coming back good along with your BP's, we will keep checking your cervix for favorable induction" While it was frustrating, it makes me feel better about our little munchkin growing! Umm....I already washed those preemie outfits, I am afraid we wont need them now! lol I go back Wed...I assume everyday will be one of those "have your bag packed just in case" appointments!
Anyone had BP's fluctuate sooooo much? I was laying in a recliner at the hospital and got 133/73 and then 137/97 all within a half hour! Whats up with that???? Nothing changed as far as stress level, position, etc, etc...

Google Chrome is the first browser that has a meaningless version number. Since Chrome is automatically updated, most people use the latest version of the software a few days after it's released.
Google's help articles aren't the only ones that ignore Chrome's version number. Yahoo has recently released a report that recommends developers to assume that Chrome users are running the latest version.
"Chrome has been progressing rapidly through versions, and Google has communicated its intent to continue rapid development and short release cycles. As a result, we've modified our strategy for Chrome to advise testing on the latest [generally available] release of Chrome as soon as it is issued, with prior versions moving to X-grade as soon as they are superseded."
Now that Google Chrome has a new major release every six weeks, you won't see too many new features. Chrome 7 focuses on "hundreds of bug fixes", while Chrome 8 enables the internal PDF viewer. Chrome's releases aren't exciting because the browser is constantly improving and you don't have to wait one year or more to see the new features.

Who had read the twilight books i have read 3 of them......before they release twilight films they release the book of the part....do ya people like it...?
I personally think they are the most overrated books atm
Yeah that's why i posted this thread atm lol
Lol..I've read 4 of them...They're good...
Read them.
Was a total waste of time.
I LOVE Breaking Dawn!!! The other books I found annoying but at last, Bella starts getting some action on and off the bed and manages to protect her family! I like that.
But seriously, I read 2 of them before all this Twilight-fever and I couldn't go on.
And I read anything...ANYTHING..
If you're into these books, Try "Vampire Academy" which is also mehhh , but a lot better than Twilight IMO .
i read all four, i like the books, but i think the movies ruined them for me
I read the first one, and lost faith in humanity.
I have read them all. Twice
Before, I was a really huge Twilight-Girl x3 But now, I'm like ''Oh, Twilight -_-''
I got all tired of it, and I knew it was the biggest waste of time of my life
Meyer should be hung for the cold blooded murder of language and literature.
She should also be urged to the kitchen where she belongs (yes, I am a woman) because apart from her lacking of any writing quality whatsoever, the Twilight Saga incarnates insult to all women.
I read them all..........and seriously the last one was the creepiest of them all in a weird way
also i believe the first movie was the best ...........
and all the others were fail.........from then on
They are all GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Han!! I thought only teenaged girls read twilight...

one day I thought to myself...why am I so smart? I think I need to become stupid and retarded...so I read all four books...and I think my IQ went down, so it worked lol
Wow i've never went near the books or the movies
You can tell they are terrible by just looking at the covers or commercials about them. They are illegal here in Georgia. So i'm safe
The books were cool but the movies ruined them for me.

What's the most popular storage unit size in Houston?
Those who rented self-storage in Houston were more likely to book a 5x5 storage unit than any other size.
Do I need a climate controlled storage unit in Houston?
The forecast high for Houston is 98 degrees today. The record high for today in Houston is 102 degrees. High temperatures and humidity can cause mold and mildew to thrive. If you're considering storing items that are susceptible to mold and mildew during this period, consider renting a climate controlled storage unit.
Does Houston student population affect self-storage prices?
Colleges and universities located in or nearby Houston include Houston Baptist University, Rice University, Texas Southern University, University of Houston, University of Houston Clear Lake, University of Houston Downtown, University of St Thomas, University of Texas Health Science Center At Houston. College students often need storage during summer and winter breaks and can drive prices up during these seasons.
How does seasonality affect Houston storage prices?
Storage prices in Houston tend to be somewhat volatile when compared to other cities. Prices can vary by about $131.32 monthly depending on the time of year. Houston storage prices are highest in November, and lowest in September.

Finally got paperwork back to SBR a Draco. One open topic for me is getting a peep sight on it.
Dog Leg Scope Rail PRODUCT FEATURES
The TX Weapons Sys looks cool but is it REALLY stable? Especially if I want to put glass on it later? Down side is the rear peep they sell doesn't seem to have any elevation or windage adjustment
Tech-SIGHTS Precision Shooting Accessories
The tech-sights advantage, as I see it, is the elevation and windage adjustment BUT I hear it is a real hassle to get the dustcover off for routine cleaning. I can't find it any more but I one saw a pic of a kind of quick release someone came up with by installing removable pins attached to each other with a little cable wrapped around the rear. Anybody seen this or can post a pic or thread link? I have a machinist buddy than could copy this.
Pros? Cons? In either camp?

Nobel Prize For Literature Announced Thursday
Originally published on Thu October 11, 2012 6:22 am
Mo Yan was one of three writers favored to win. He is perhaps best known in the West as the author of Red Sorghum, which was made into a film. He is only the second Chinese writer to win the Nobel — the other is poet Gao Xingjian, who won in 2000.

Teddrick Steadman, a South Aiken High School football safety, has signed to play football in college on a campus with a mission that's different and intriguing.
He will enroll in the Apprentice School, affiliated with Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia.
The academics offered at the school include courses connected to apprentice opportunities from a wide range of choices. In addition to getting tuition-free scholarships, students get paid for their work.
"I got interested from the start," Steadman said. "It's a great opportunity not only to do something in school, but afterwards. It's like a job every day – three days of work and two days of classes every week."
He can choose a trade and also can get an associate's degree through a community college as he continues his apprenticeship. Although the school doesn't function as a traditional college, the football team plays competitively at the Division III level.
"Teddrick was a well-disciplined player for us," said Jeremy West, the head coach. "He's coachable and leads by example. This is a good opportunity for him. For this program, you have to be motivated, and that's Teddrick. His parents have done a great job of bringing him up. He's got a good head on his shoulders."
Steadman's parents, Ted and Sandra Robinson, are delighted about this chance for their son.
A football coach from the Apprentice School visited South Aiken to discuss the program. He invited Steadman and his family to visit the campus and see some of the skilled trade programs.
Sandra Robinson said the school will help her son grow up and be responsible for himself and others in both work, housing and sports environments.
"It feels like a good place for our son," said Ted Robinson. "I would encourage other students to look at this. They can save on student loans, and Teddrick can earn $15.48 an hour."
Paul Waters, a Thoroughbreds assistant football coach, worked with Steadman for four years on the field and also taught the teenager in the classroom.
"This is an unusual opportunity," Waters said. "Teddy can benefit in both worlds – getting an education while learning a trade. It's great for an 18-year-old."
Steadman is interested in pipefitting and electrical engineering. There are many other programs available as well – including heating and air conditioning, heavy metal fabricating, millwright, welding, shipfitter, rigger and several more. Advanced programs are also available.
While visiting the Apprenticeship School, Steadman attended a dinner with other football recruits.
"They seemed like pretty good guys to be around," he siad. "The whole atmostphere is good."
Rob Novit is the senior writer at the Aiken Standard, mostly covering education, and is a graduate of the University of Georgia.
