Neurobiology of the sense of smell
Patch clamp, Optical imaging, In situ hybridization, Immunohistochemistry, Neurotracing, Genechip, and Gene targeting
The mammalian olfactory system has the amazing capability of detecting and discriminating a myriad of odors, which relies on a large number (~1200 in rodents) of G-protein coupled odorant receptors. Each olfactory sensory neuron in the nose manages to express only one type odorant receptor. Even though the sensory neurons expressing a particular receptor are scattered in the nose, their axons converge onto two topographically specific microdomains (named glomeruli) in the olfactory bulb, the first relay center in the brain for processing odor information. By combining patch clamp, optical imaging, molecular, and genetic approaches, we are investigating how the olfactory sensory neurons with defined odorant receptors encode different odors in the environment and how olfactory experience modifies the sensitivity and organization of the system. In addition, we recently discovered that the olfactory sensory neurons serve dual functions as odor detectors and mechanical sensors. We are investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the mechanosensitivity of these neurons and integration of the odor and airflow information by the olfactory system.

The culmination of the latest Fuller Center for Housing-Greater Carroll County area project came to fruition on Feb. 2 when the keys to a new home were handed over to Krystal Rosier.
"I appreciate everybody and all the hard work that went into this," said Rosier. "I always wanted a house, but didn't think it would be possible. This is a very good community."
Dr. Oliver McBride opened the dedication ceremony with the Fuller Center's "Theology of the Hammer," which is "the belief that all people deserve at least a simple, decent, affordable place to live."
"One's faith has to be demonstrated in action. Building affordable housing for those who need it is a way to do this," said McBride.
During his prayer of dedication, Kevin Campbell, pastor of the Hillsville Presbyterian Church, said "It is God who calls us to the act of building, of creating. We praise God because we have built something that is tangible."
Although many churches, individuals and businesses contributed to the project, McBride said the work of the Carroll County High School building trades students was invaluable.
Vance Leggett, a CCHS building trades instructor, said "This has been a fantastic learning experience in education. Over 400 students have worked with this project, including students in math, drafting, and the career and technical education department. The students have contributed not only their skills, but with fundraising activities."
Those fundraising activities, noted Leggett, amount to $3,000.
Crooked Oak Missionary Baptist Church, Hillsville Pentecostal Holiness Church, Hillsville Presbyterian Church, Hillsville Christian Church, First United Methodist Church of Hillsville, Mt. Olivet United Methodist and Tazewell Presbyterian Church all contributed to the project.
Grayson National Bank, The Jackson Law Group were key contributors, as were Lynchburg Crane, Deerfield Diggers, the Hillsville Volunteer Fire Department, Blue Ridge Paving, the Town of Hillsville, Jackson Insurance, Lowe's Home Improvement, Blue Ridge Concrete, Rotenizer Drapery and Carpet. V&H Heating, LWR Home Improvements, Southern States.
McBride pointed to help from many individuals, including Allen Childress, Jeff Reynolds and Virgil Hall, and to both media outlets, The Carroll News and The Galax Gazette.
Ty Harrison, a pastor of First United Methodist Church of Hillsville, presented Bibles to Rosier, and then blessed the home prior to the presentation of the keys to Rosier by Sally Chitwood, a Fuller Center for Housing board member.

The fund-raiser will take place Saturday, March 16, at the Jones County Lions Club on Highway 18 East, beginning at 10 a.m. The cost to participate is $5 per shot. The club will furnish shells and participants have the option of using their own gun or one will be provided.
The event will last until 2 p.m. or until people stop coming.
The Red Knights' first turkey shoot took place Nov. 10, 2012, and grossed $600. Club member Chuck Marks said that event was put together in 10 days but still had 30-40 people attend.
The club started earlier this time and is hoping for a bigger turnout and to raise more money.
Marks said local firefighters had been talking about starting a local chapter of the Red Knights for some time, and the group got their charter for Georgia Chapter 24 last October.
The local chapter has 17 members, and membership is open to any Jones County or Gray firefighter, active or retired, with a motorcycle.

The final resolution of the sale of High Country Health Care Systems is nearing completion and the transfer of ownership will be decided by the Appalachian District's Board of Health during its meeting Thursday, Nov. 29.
According to Beth Lovette, the director of the Appalachian District Health Department, Medical Services of American, a company based in Lexington, S.C., plans to purchase High Country Health Care Systems.
Medical Services of America also owns a hospice located in Avery County called Medi-Home Hospice.
"MSA became the top choice not only because of the fair purchase offer, but also because they are already a proven organization in the High Country. Medi-Home Care has an office in Sparta that provides durable medical equipment and supplies to clients in our are," said Lovette.
"Medi-Home Hospice, out of Avery County, already provides hospice services in Watauga County. Both are subsidiaries of MSA. They have high marks for quality service and appear to be a stable company that will serve our communities well for years to come," said Lovette.
According to Mary Fran Knight, the executive director of High Country Health Care, the bidding process for HCHCS has been made more complicated because "the health department is a public entity," which is subject to certain legal statutes.
In the past, High Country Health Care Systems has been owned by two different entities. The Appalachian District Health Department owned 66.5 percent of HCHCS while Ashe Memorial Hospital owned the remaining 33.5 percent.
Also, High Country Health Systems is a non-profit organization that is governed by its own board, said Lovette.
According to Lovette, the Ashe County Health Department began searching for new buyers in June. Lovette said the owners opted to sell HCHCS because of a declining performance where "expenses exceeded revenues."
Lovette said even if the board decides to approve the sale to Medical Services of America, additional approval needs to be made by "folks in Raleigh" because HCHCS is a non-profit, public entity.
During a Nov. 5 meeting with the Ashe County Board of Commissioners, Lovette said she didn't believe jobs would be lost during the transfer of ownership.

McGinnis: A fan's memories of growing up with 'Transformers'Written by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Of all the absurd concepts that pop culture has deemed worthy of obsession, few reach the level of ludicrous speed quite like the animated commercials/toy line/blockbuster movie franchise known as "Transformers."
Really, imagine if someone would try to pitch you this idea. "OK. There's this planet out there, made up of sentient robots who can change into vehicles and all speak English for some reason. They crash-land on Earth, wake up, disguise themselves as cars, trucks and other stuff and fight each other. It'll make a mint, I tells ya!"
As audiences the world over line up to take in a fourth helping of big-screen robot action with the release of "Transformers: Age of Extinction" on June 27, I can't help but reflect what a long, strange ride it's been for Optimus Prime and his fellow Cybertronians. For 30 years, the brand has been around in some form or another, though with the recent movies it truly feels as though Hasbro's toy powerhouse has hit its peak of popularity, after a long period of lying near-dormant in the popular imagination.
Like most kids my age, I had full-on Transformers fever when I was growing up. I can measure my childhood in toy cycles — what figures dominated the imagination of children as they begged their parents for money while wandering the aisles of their local K-Mart. (I can only speak for the toys aimed at boys — there was strict separation between the sexes in the kids' sections of my youth. Yay for early enforcement of institutionalized gender roles!)
The earliest toy memories I have are of He-Man, that bastion of masculinity who saved the planet of Eternia from the evil schemes of Skeletor on a daily basis. Like most superheroes, He-Man had a secret identity, "Prince Adam," though anyone who had two brain cells should have been able to figure out who he was, since he looked identical in either form. Literally the only thing that changed was his attire — from skin-tight pastels to fuzzy underwear and voila! Secret identity is safe.
Transformers was the next craze, and felt like a step up in cool from the He-Man days. I mean, this was basically a no-brainer for any boy my age who loved two things without reservation: robots and cars. And these were … wait for it … robots that TURNED INTO cars. That idea alone was enough to sell a generation of consumers and help kids easily overlook any deficiencies in storytelling — which those early cartoons had a lot of.
I know of what I speak. After receiving the first season of the original series as a birthday gift one year, a group of my friends and I gathered to unearth some childhood memories. We found that some memories should remain buried. Even the most rose-tinted glasses that nostalgia gave us couldn't disguise how truly bad the original "Transformers" cartoons were. From the horrific animation quality, to the lousy stories and inept dialogue, it was clear that our tastes had evolved.
And even as a kid, I remember moments of cynicism creeping into my "Transformers" fandom. I figured out early on that the whole point of the series was to sell me action figures, even as I played right into the game by begging my mom for new toys at every chance. When the 1986 "Transformers" animated movie killed off most of the original cast, I understood exactly what was going on — a clearing out of the old figures we'd already bought so new ones could take their place. Such overt cynicism broke the spell of the brand's hold, and the initial "Transformers" craze died out pretty soon afterward — for me, and kids' pop culture in general.
That's not to say that there aren't good works in the "Transformers" franchise. The recent "Transformers Prime" series was an excellent show that played off of nostalgia while building interesting stories off of the original mythology, still as ludicrous as ever. High Noon Studios' "Cybertron" video games have been excellent action titles — everything that old school fans could want in terms of characters and settings, while still being compulsively playable as a game. And let it be said that the original "Transformers" live-action movie in 2007 was way better than it had any right to be.
I just hope that as a new generation of kids grows up with Optimus Prime and his fellow robotic warriors, they take the adventures with a grain of salt or two. And now that my generation is of the age where we are having kids of our own, we can help them understand as they grow to have just a touch of cynicism in their passion for franchises which are designed to thrill, entertain, excite, and make a ton of money — not necessarily in that order.

ThePlatform integrates smart workflow with transcoding vendors
The sheer volume of multi-screen videos, along with the proliferation of the devices used to watch the content on, can be overwhelming at times, but Comcast-owned thePlatform has added "smart workflow" features to its mpx offering to help solve those issues.
Several months ago, thePlatform started working on a plug-in for its mpx video publishing system that works with transcoding engines from the likes of Elemental Technologies and Harmonic.
"One of our core value propositions for our customers is around workflow management, and obviously the need for workflow management is only increasing as our customers really look to create video and setup video to successfully reach game consoles; Smart TVs; and tablets, PCs, etcetera," said Marty Roberts, senior vice president of sales and marketing for thePlatform. "What everyone recognizes is that need is going to continue to grow. What we're now taking advantage of is the partners that we work with out in the market today have really advanced their capabilities for processing and transferring content and making this workflow much more efficient."
Smart workflow is based upon integrations with leading vendors in the multi-screen space. It helps enable next-generation transcoding, faster file transfers and smart ingest services. Currently, smart workflow is integrated with Elemental and Harmonic on the transcoding engine side, Aspera for faster file transfers, and Akamai Technologies for its latest HTTP ingest technology that's part of its new Sola Media Solutions.
Roberts said the initial round of companies that were selected for integration were based on previous relationships and customer demand, but future integrations over the coming months could include RGB Networks, Digitalsmiths and Envivio.
Roberts said that transcoding engines used to work a serial fashion with one file in, one file out, but now companies such as Harmonic and Elemental are able to do one file in and numerous files out. Along with the increased transcoding efficiencies, smart workflow also provides intelligent multi-file transcoding, so if one file fails, only that file is transcoded again instead of all of them.
"The other thing that is really nice about our integration is that we can really reduce redundancy," Roberts said. "As our customers come up with a new device, it used to be we'd go back and say, "Let's start with that big mezzanine file and transcode it for that particular device. What we're now doing is saying, "Well, you actually have a video that's an intermediate step that might be the right bit rate or the right aspect ratio, so instead of transcoding the whole thing over again, we'll start with that intermediate video, and we'll just package it up for Smooth Streaming to get it to an Xbox, for example. So you really reduce the redundancy there."
Prior to smart workflow, media and entertainment companies would have to make a phone call to their respective vendors to help set up new device publishing profiles. With smart workflow and the integrations, the companies can set up encoding profiles from their own mpx consoles.
"They don't have to reach out to us at all, and that's really our goal," Roberts said. "As our customers decide they want to target the next Smart TV, they can set up these profiles and reach those endpoints very efficiently without having to talk to anyone at thePlatform. So it's a very efficient and easy process for our customers to use."
Roberts said mpx smart workflow is already in use in thePlatform's own transcoding farm, which about 40 percent of its customers use. Starting today, thePlatform's customers that use Harmonic or Elemental can take advantage of using the plug-in on their own transcoding farms.
In addition to Comcast, thePlatform's cable operator customers include Rogers Communications, Cablevision, Liberty Global, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications and RCN. On the content provider side, thePlatform counts A&E, Fox Sports, USA Network, E! and Shaw Media among its customers.

Definitely the extreme precision wheel. Would love to see how that works on Peggle HD on the iPad!!
zen ball is good but also can mess up certain shots i want to take
Played the demo on my xbox again, again and again last night. Can't imagine how addictive the iPad will be (note to self: cancel sleep for the next couple of weeks) :-)
The magic hat is my favorite!!! Most. Useful. Power. Evar.
Magic Hat!! Best. Power. EVAR.
Sorry for the multiple posts...it didn't show as posted before :(. Sorry!
I played Peggle on my grandson's Nintendo DS and would love to have it on my iPad.
Spooky ball is the way to go!!!
Dragonfire Ball
OMG. I have always wanted to play the Peggle. I saw my friend played this one on her iPhone 4 and it looked fun and awesome. It is going to be great if I get a chance to play it on my iPad2. Thanks.
Dragon fire power, definitely. I loved the scorched Earth effect. Hmm...perhaps I need more Zne and Tech?
Don't enter me in the contest though. I simply can't wait on this big news. Please give the code to a newbie to discover Peggle goodness!
I never played it. It looks fun.
I love the dragon fire one by far. Well placed shot does some serious damage with that one!
I'd LOVE to have this on my iPad as well as my iPhone. I've loved this game for ages, when I visit my Mom I never can find my iPhone as she has hijacked it and is sitting playing it - super addictive. Will never delete it from my device. Hmmm favourite super power must be the Zen one ... or is it .. or is it .. argh, brain freeze
Zen Ball! :D
Without any other word, Zen Ball!!!
Peggle is one of the most addicting games I have played
Ok... does anyone not prefer Zen.... ? ;-) a win here will challenge my productivity
Zen Ball is definitely my favorite! Om....om.....
I first experienced Peggle on the iPhone. I would love an iPad version. My favorite power is the one that explodes when you hit it and all the balls around it get hit.
I've only played the PC version a few times but it was pretty cool! Bring on a free copy so I can waste more time!
never played would love to see what all the hype is about.
Definitely Zen Ball! Instantly turn a bad ball into awesome.
I'll go with Zen too!
I love Zen Ball!
Been itching to try it - would love a copy! :-)
I love this game gemmie gemmie gemmie
Peggle is amazing... I like the jack o'lantern one that basically gives you a second chance.
Please put me in. I have never played Peggle, but it looks cool. Looks similar to Zuma Blitz on Facebook.
Looks like a good in-between game for me and my daughter. So this can get me off Zynga Poker and my daughter off Smurfs Adventure... :-)
Magic Hat!! Best. Power. EVAR
I always go for the Zen Ball with Master Hu when I play on my iMac. Very addicting!
I have been playing peggle on xbox360 for forever and LOVE it! I would love to be able to bring it with me! please give me a copy!
Spooky forever!! Funny and cool!!
I like the owl.
Jimmy Lightning is my favorite Peggle super power because of how effective the multi-ball effect is! :-)
I love the multiple balls.
I have never played Peggle but it is on my want list!
I am quite simple. I love the base Unicorn power which shows me where the ball is going to bounce off to. That or of course the mystic shot that lines up your best shot!
Zen ball is the best.
I don't have da game peggle. I would like to try it
Zen balls are amazing!

The 28-year-old Peru international attracted attention from across Europe after scoring twice in the FIFA Club World Cup final earlier this month.
Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Fiorentina are also thought to be interested, but the former Bayern Munich striker told Globo Esporte that he wants to remain in Brazil.
He said: "I will stay. I have a contract and I am very happy playing for Corinthians."
Guerrero joined Corinthians in July for £3m from Hamburg and is under contract with the world champions until 2015.
The Brazilian side are keen to ward off interest in the forward and have reportedly placed a £30m asking price on him.
Guerrero was on target in the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup, against Egyptian side Al-Ahly, before scoring the winner in the final against Chelsea.
He previously spent ten years playing in Europe, all in Germany's Bundesliga, having joined Bayern Munich in 2002 and left for Hamburg in 2006.

I'd like to make a special mention this week to the boys of Bomber Command, who were rightly and eventually honoured by the British Government for their incredible, thankless endeavours to end this most terrible of wars.
A bit of background for newcomers
Joe was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do.
One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In today's letter, Joe is at his new barracks/station in Bridgnorth, Shropshire (much closer to home!)
Letter 23 – March 26th 1944
Sat night.
Dear Mom and Kids,
I hope that you've not been worrying over the delay in my answering your letter of Tuesday. I got the letter on Thursday morning but as we get our exams a week on Monday I (and the rest of the Flight) have been swottin' like mad every night this week! The trouble is, we have to do a 6 weeks course in about 4 so we shall NOT get the usual clear week for revision and swotting! That also means that we will still be learning stuff right up to the day of our exam.
I have got about FIVE letters to answer before I turn in as I've been fortunate all this week and had a letter every day! I received one from Bert Thomas today, he's in bed suffering (?!) with tonsilitis (hope that's right!) I think he likes it really as he says his girl has been to see him every day so far!
Right now I don't feel in a very good mood, nor does anyone else in the ut. You see we should have, by rights, a Sunday off this weekend but they've suddenly decided to put the lid on it by giving us all a guard duty for the Sunday night, free of charge! That's enough about myself for now.
By the way I didn't know that Bri* had been away from school. Glad he's ok now tho! I'm glad to see that our Kid's job isn't boring him yet, he always does suffer in silence. If he doesn't mind it's all the better.
Thanks for writing to Aunt Em and Co for me, I wrote myself later. Don't you ever send me any money for 'Pete's sake' as I know what a job you have to make ends meet these days. I'm going to the Accounts Office on Monday morning to see if there's a chance for a War Grant or summat like that for you and the trip. Will let you know the results if and when I can.
Tell the 'mob' that I still nip round for a second bashin' of dinner etc., when the Orderly Officer ain't looking. I'll demonstrate the method to you when I get home again, you see it's all done with the aid of mirrors!
Yes, I have been to the Pictures here, TWICE, that's all I had a chance to see! Joyce is making her debut in society (the green grocery type!) this Easter I see! Hope she has a good time all the same, the FAT little devil!
The Officer of our Flight, by the way, is really an 'Ace' in his line, as we found out t'other day! He is an Aussie' with the D.F.M twice AND the 'Conspicuous Gallantry Medal'. He has done 60 Opps over Germany in one of the four famous "Path Finder" Squadron. His score is really amazing, 12 shot down for certain with 10 probables besides!! He got the C.G.M for shooting down a Ju.88 AND and Me.110 in one night with the side of his turret blown off and 7 bullets in his left leg!!! I've seen a photo of his turret after that raid, it does look a mess! While he was in hospital, his crew were all shot down over Germany and captured! He was sent to this place fo his 6 month stand-down fro Opps and he's cheesed off! I reckon he's done his share!
Another case is our Sergeant Instructor, his name is Frost. We have learnt a lot while under him. We've been snooping around and found out that while on his last Opp he was shot down (like Norman) but he got back here from occupied territory without being captured! He is sworn to secrecy as to how he was got over here until after the war. The RAF treated him rotten after his lot, the rest of his crew got D.F.Ms but he got nothing. Neither of these stories are 'line-shooting' as the stories have been confirmed by others. Nearly every Sgt A.G here has a decoration or more and they've all done one or more 'tours'.
I guess I can't think of much more to write here so I'll slow up. I've got to write a letter to Marie and others in a bit!
Don't put yourselves out for a cake for me but IF you get a chance, I can eat 'em! The food here is still lousy both in cooking and quantity, it's the worst part of this Camp.
Here's til the next time, sorry over the delay, honest.
Cheerio, Love Joe xxxx
P.S. The envelope situation is serious and the writing pads too!!?
P.P.S. Some of the blokes have lifted a chap's bed up on to the beams in the hut, blankets and all!!!"
*my dad
A 'tour' was approx. 30 operations.
DFM = distinguished flying medal
Norman Williams was the man to which Joe refers here. Quite an extraordinary story, which you read here at TheTartanTerror Blog.
Wow. I still am left with the impression that Joe is slightly star-struck. Training to kill is a world away from killing. I wonder whether these boys truly comprehend the horrors that they are soon to face? They can surely have no inkling of the 70 years' lack of acknowledgement of their braver and endeavours which will follow after the war ends…..
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories.
I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

Mostly Cloudy

I feel it is my obligation and duty to have my mother's (Katharine "Kit" Hartshorn) letter to the editor printed as her last community act. She actually wrote this letter the day I took her to the hospital -- community minded to the end.
June 29, 2007
To the Editor:
What is the matter with the Warren Board of Selectmen? It seems that people who do not live on a paved road are dictated to by people who do! If they had to travel on it in the springtime and could not get to town for supplies or to work, and the ambulance, mail carrier, propane trucks, or fire trucks were unable to service them, how would they like it? If they desire to walk their dogs (who crap on our lawns) on dirt, let them find a path in the wilderness.
I am sick and tired of the same mud over 80 years of plowing through it. Many days I had to leave my car a mile out and walk home through mud in the dark. The people who have recently settled in Warren, especially in vacation homes, came to places with paved roads.
I think it is about time the planning commission, select board and environmental and conservation board begin to think of other people than the ones who are always thinking of what they want. I was on these boards 25-plus years and we were not the ones who made life here what it is today! It's all the city people taking over who have changed Warren to what it is now. Just a place where people like me cannot afford to live and have to fight to keep our little niche. I hate to say I no longer have a town even though I'm the Town Historian and was born here 92 years ago, but I am a stranger when I attend town events.
Katharine Hartshorn
And now I must add a few comments of my own.
I would like to say that Mom was very disturbed and saddened to see what has happened to her town of Warren. No longer are decisions by the town boards being made for the good of the whole community but by the one voice against or the one voice for self-interests only. What happened to "For the good of all"? In the case regarding the paving of 800 feet (yes, only 800 feet) of the Lincoln Gap Road to eliminate the worst mud hole -- which has been the worst mud hole forever -- the board decided to turn down all paving and do a study. Oh joy -- another study. A word for the board: "Trust the advice of your road foreman." He has worked the roads and studied the problems for years. It doesn't take a costly study to know that this mud hole has been here for years and the only solution is to pave! Does this individual who was against it live on the Gap Road? No. Does she have to travel the Lincoln Gap Road at all? No! Were the voices of the people on the Gap Road who were for paving it and were at the meeting listened to? Apparently NOT! We have patiently sat back while other roads in town that we felt were traveled more and were for the better of the community were paved, but now the time has come for Lincoln Gap. I do not believe that anyone, except our hardworking and dedicated road crew, realizes the amount of traffic that travels over this road daily. If you think it doesn't get traveled in the winter and during mud season, just live where I do and count the many cars that park in the road blocking the snowplow and my driveway so those people can snowmobile, cross country ski, walk their dogs, do rocket sledding and snowshoeing, you name it. It has become winter's end of the road recreational wonderland.
Give us old natives a break and pave the 800 feet and forget the costly study.

Google started to show related brands for generic shopping-related queries. The suggestions are similar to the ones from Google Product Search and they're used to refine the results.
For example, if you search for [mp3 players], Google shows brands like Sony, Creative Zen, SanDisk. If you click on [Sony], Google will show the search results for [Sony mp3 players]. For some reason, the most popular brand of MP3 players is not included.
"Sometimes when searching for product information on Google, you may not know some of the brand names relevant to your particular search. So, we wanted to make it easier for you to find the brands other people consider useful for popular product searches. Determined algorithmically, these highlighted brand names may help you find what you're looking for faster, and make your research and shopping experience all the more enjoyable," explains Google.

Salad with grilled chicken and honey mustard dressing.
Printable View
Salad with grilled chicken and honey mustard dressing.
Meal replacement drink. It's almost four in the afternoon and I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Not hungry. The drink will do.
Today was a fried chicken breast (eaten with all the fried stuff peeled off, thank you cholosteral level!) with some potatoe salad.
Tomatoe soup and slices of Summer Sausage!!
I'm going to have to see what I find in the grocery store. Going shopping in a bit and I feel like checking for deals on pizza or a lasagne. Normally, I do almost 100 percent home cooking now, but I just want something that's a bit bad for me.
Further to the leftover sandwich in the fridge that I posted about on Monday, I was dumb enough to actually eat it! Hey - it smelled okay. I don't know if that is why I felt sick yesterday. It was just overall lethargy with a bit of a temperature and once my body eliminated stuff (is that too graphic?) I definitely felt better. My glands in my throat were swollen so maybe it wasn't the sandwich. Anyway, next time I toss out the old "sangwidge" as they call them in Glasgow rather than eating it. Who knows if someone touched it on the weekend. Yuk!

A Day in the Life of WAAPA
"WAAPA provided me with practical skills I can use every day."
The best thing about the Arts Management course is that you learn a little bit about everything. In my current role of Youth Cultural Projects Officer at City of Swan and my previous role at Country Arts WA, I found that my education had given me practical skills I used every day.
The ability to negotiate contracts and sponsorships, an understanding of intellectual property and copyright, budgeting and human resource management, which has come in particularly handy in my coordination of the dedicated team of volunteers at Hyper Fest.
Simon O'Leary
Arts Management graduate
"The training and experience I received at WAAPA has allowed me to channel my passion and belief in myself."
I have always had a passion for art and theatre design however, lacked the confidence to become a professional designer. The teaching and support I received has allowed me to work with many Australian and International directors and designers. This has led me to take my talent for art and theatre to a professional level. My time at WAAPA has been an invaluable experience and given me the confidence to present my work at the same level as other professionals in the industry.

BAKER — The Baker football team faces its season's toughest challenge Friday night as the Gators host District 1-1A leader Northview in a 7p.m. game at Doug Griffith Memorial Stadium.
Playoff implications will be on the line as well.
If Baker beats Northview and if Jay can upset Freeport, the Gators will win the district championship.
If both Baker and Freeport win then Baker, Freeport and Northview will face off in a shootout to determine the district champs and runner. If Baker and Freeport lose, Baker, Jay and Freeport will meet in a shootout to determine second place in the district.
Baker coach Matt Brunson said it is important to be in a position to make the playoffs as the season winds down.
"All you can ask is to be playing Week 10 and have a shot at the playoffs," he said. "We have done that so we will see what happens."
If the Gators are to punch their ticket to the playoffs with a win, they will do so against a Northview team (6-2, 2-0) that is one of the most explosive teams in the state in Class 1A football, averaging 43.5 points.
Only twice this year — in a 34-7 win over Walton and a 44-20 loss to Gulf Breeze — has Northview scored less than 40 points. The Chiefs outscored Jay and Freeport 104-14 in their two district wins.
Northview blanked Baker 34-0 last year and Brunson said the Chiefs would again present all several matchup problems for the Baker defense.
"They just have tall, athletic receivers that are rangy," he said. "The quarterback will move the ball around and they catch it and make plays.
"We are going to be very challenged to cover them. And then, once they make a catch or two, we will be challenged to get them on the ground."
When the Chiefs aren't throwing the ball, they are equally adept at running it out of a variety of formations, Brunson said.
"Either way (passing or running), they are very explosive because the guys they are throwing it to or handing it to are very athletic," he said.
The Chief defense has shut out three opponents and is holding the opposition to 17.75 points a game.
Northview runs a 4-4 stack defense and Brunson hopes the Gators can move the ball on the Chiefs.
"We have a chance — if we play well offensively and score every time we have it and protect the ball and keep it away from them," he said. "Our best defense might be to keep their offense off the field. They've got some guys that are good sized and fly to the ball, but we should be able to create some running lanes in there."
The Gators, who are coming off an open date, beat Jay 48-21 on Oct. 19. Brunson said Baker played its best football of the season in the second half against the Royals.
Brunson hopes the momentum from the win over Jay, coupled with the open week, will work in Baker's favor against the Chiefs.
"We tried to fine tune some things and add a couple of things for Northview," he said. "I think we played our best football that we have played all year in the second half against Jay.
"Our guys have continued to improve and worked hard, so we will see what happens Friday."

Caper Elliott Wingback Chair 3 3
looks better in person than the picture I saw this chair at another furniture store at a much higher price. It is very comfortable to sit in and the high back allowes you to rest your neck. January 28, 2013
GREAT! Bought this chair for my elderly father. Had the chair sent to my parents home. Just a note, my mother couldn't find the legs to the chair. So we assumed they didn't send the legs. I went and looked at the chair to prepare myself on securing legs. The legs are hidden inside the chair, turn it over and find the zipper under the seat and you will find your legs. My father who is home from the hospital LOVES his chair, it is nice and firm and the width is great. So yes! GREAT CHAIR! January 24, 2013
My Elliot Wingbacks!! The chairs are comfortable and perfect for the location I needed. I love the color. I am truly satisfied..... January 26, 2013

CRESTVIEW — The City Council received a request from resident Frederick Jackson to mark a designated pedestrian crosswalk across U.S. Highway 90 between the Tractor Supply Co. and Pic-n-Sav shopping center and a residential neighborhood across the street.
Many nearby residents lack cars and frequently walk to and from the shopping center, which has the closest grocery store, Jackson said.
"We've been lucky; so far, nobody's been hit crossing that highway," Councilman Charles Baugh Jr. "When they are, people are going to ask, 'What is the council doing about this?'"
A crosswalk is available at the Main Street-U.S. 90 intersection, so the state's Department of Transportation likely wouldn't consider adding one at the requested location, Public Works Director Wayne Steele said.
Still, he said, he would look into alternative possibilities of marking the well-used crossing area.
"All pedestrian crosswalks have to be signalized," Steele said. "All traffic has to stop."
If the state won't designate a crosswalk, potential warning signs or pavement marking could alert drivers that pedestrians frequently cross the busy four-lane highway, Baugh said.
"Just a flashing light or something" is all that's needed," he said. "I'd like to try to make that area a little bit safer for our citizens."

Trust Company celebrates 20 years in businessWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
The Trust Company of Toledo celebrated its 20th anniversary by moving into a new facility and hosting an open house.
The Trust Company moved into its new building on Timberwolf Drive off Airport Highway in Holland on Sept. 17. The firm hosted an open house for its clients Oct. 20.
The full-service investment and trust management company purchased the existing building to accommodate its recent growth and allow for future growth, according to Jennifer Hildebrand, one of the firm's principals. The company moved from its previous location in Holland.
"We took advantage of the low interest rates and prices in the office market to purchase the building. Our growing business and staff required additional space that will allow for future growth," Hildebrand said.
The Trust Company has a staff of 18 full-time employees with 10 serving as principals of the firm. It was established in December 1990 by three founding partners, Theodore Hahn, Julie Higgins and David Snavely.
Two other principals, Patricia Jacobs and Lenore Peterson, have been with the company from the beginning, while five other principals have joined the firm in the last 10 years.
Those five principals include F. Michael Bercher, Robert Cabanski, Brian Epstein, Mark Evans and Hildebrand.
Four of the principals serve on the investment management side, five on the trust administrative side and one in operations, said Hildebrand, one of the trust principals.
"The Trust Company was started by some of the best from Toledo's former premier banks and over time they've been joined by an impressive group of younger executives," said Geoffrey Meyers, chairman of the firm's board of directors. "Their new headquarters represents a strong commitment to Toledo and serving the investment needs of a variety of organizations and individuals."
The Trust Company serves a diverse clientele including individuals, businesses from small to large, foundations and multi-employer groups. All accounts have one investment principal and one trust administrative principal on their team, Hildebrand said.
"We interact in a team-oriented environment to identify and develop the best strategies and solutions for each of our clients," Hildebrand said. "Our highly credentialed and experienced professionals are committed to providing peace of mind for our clients."
One professional has primary responsibility for managing each client relationship, focusing on the expertise of its staff and other outside professionals to meet the client's needs. We believe in face-to-face accountability for services provided, Hildebrand said.
The firm's approach to delivering superior investment performance includes use of its fixed-income strategy that has produced above-average returns for its clients.
That strategy incorporates rate anticipation, sector analysis, and intermediate-term maturities while emphasizing high current income and maintaining risk aversion, according to Bercher.
The firm's equity philosophy encompasses both active and passive strategies and begins with a comprehensive analysis of professional equity managers, Evans said.
The company has thrived for 20 years with local private ownership and operation. Hildebrand said all of its principals have roots in the Toledo area.
The founders gave the company its name based on their belief that "trust is everything and trust is what we are all about" as stated on its website.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU's Sendek: Carrick Felix has had 'brilliant season to date'
Arizona State basketball has gotten off to a tremendous start this season under head coach Herb Sendek. The Devils boast a 13-2 record on the year and are 2-0 in Pac-12 play for just the fourth time in 35 years.
One of the biggest reasons for the Devils' success thus far has been the energetic and consistent play from senior forward Carrick Felix.
Sendek told Arizona Sports 620's Burns & Gambo on Tuesday Felix has become the heart and soul of Sun Devil basketball.
"He's had just a brilliant season to date," Sendek said. "He's just played with so much heart. I mean every second of every possession he just gives everything he has. He's really been fun to watch. He's been great to coach, just has had an exemplary attitude, tremendous leadership."
Felix earned his second Pac-12 Men's Basketball Player of the Week honors on Monday.
"He has literally given everything he has on every possession and it was great to see him recognized again as Pac-12 player of the week," Sendek stated.
The Devils' forward has averaged 15.1 points per game and leads the team with 7.9 rebounds. He has also performed exceptionally well in Pac-12 play, averaging 18.5 points in ASU's Pac-12 games against Utah and Colorado.
But statistics aside, Sendek is equally impressed with Felix's work ethic and how his game has evolved from his junior season.
"Just an incredible output of energy, display of heart and he worked incredibly hard to get ready for his final season and [Felix] has had some real flashes of excellence in the past but now he's just doing it consistently," Sendek said.
Felix has led by example which has bred success for him and the entire team.
"He really undertook the leadership of our team when last season ended," Sendek explained. "He has just been steady and consistent with that role for our basketball team and now that everybody is seeing the kind of success he's having I am sure on some level that makes it even easier and gives him even more credibility. But he hasn't been taking no for an answer for the last many months."

Wednesday, March 20, 2013
The Charleston Area Beekeepers Association (CABA) will hold the second annual Charleston Honey and Bee Expo on Sunday, April 7 in Mount Pleasant at Cinebarre Theater, 963 Houston-Northcutt Blvd. Last April the group hosted the first "bee" event in the Lowcountry. The expo is a fun, free, family-friendly event. Beekeepers will answer questions, share educational information, and sell their local honey; there will be live bees and educational displays, presentations, children's games/crafts, free honey-tasting and new honey-cotton-candy for sale.
There will be two bee-related movies; showtimes at 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. (Ticket admission is $5 donation to CABA.)
• "Colony" - an intimate look from the perspective of a beekeeping family battling Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), the unexplained phenomenon resulting in mass exodus of millions of bees from their hives and threatens not only the livelihood of beekeepers worldwide; but also the world's food supply.
"We admire some documentaries for their artistry and others for their urgency. Rarely do we see a film that combines both those qualities as impressively as this debut by directors Carter Gunn and Ross McDonnell … drawing us into the world of bees and causing us to root for their survival as much as our own." - Thom Powers, Toronto International Film Festival
• "Silence of the Bees" - is the riveting story of the ongoing investigation to identify what is killing the honeybee. Viewers are transported to high-tech labs and locations around the world where scientists race to uncover clues even deep inside honeybee colonies.
CABA is a non-profit organization with members who are beekeepers that manage one or a few hives.

Among other benefits, IBM Mobile Enterprise Services helped Hilton Worldwide:
Webb also discusses the trends relevant to businesses in the hospitality industry today, and indeed other industries. The trends are:
CIOs and IT managers need to start thinking about how to deal with these issues, and the role mobility plays in them.

Step 1: Materials and tools
many popsicle sticks
2 small DC motors, not geared ,must be high rpm
1 AA or AAA battery holder
1 AA or AAA battery
2 about 5 inch pieces of wire ( longer is better speaking from experience)
1 hot wheels car
something to hold the roof up. I used a small piece of PVC pipe. You could use whatever you have handy
1 or 2 sticks of hot glue depending on how good you are with a hot glue gun
*optional* a switch and an extra piece of wire
hot glue gun
sheet metal snips
wire striper
Step 2: The Base
Cut 3 popsicle sticks so that they are as long as the 5 are wide
Glue them on
This will be the main body
Now take 2 more sticks and glue the 2 ends together so you have a cone type thing
attach the 2 other ends to the outer 2 sticks on the square thing we just made.
This seems a little confusing but the pics make it clearer
to fill in the area in put a stick cut to length that is parallel to the bottom stick on you triangle part.
continue until the triangle is solid.
Once again the pics make this much more clear.
That is it for the base
