Techna GlassRead MoreAfter watching his father work in the glass industry for more than 30 years, Troy Mason followed in his footsteps by opening his own full-service glass shop in 1991. Not content with simply fixing cracks, Troy also developed an in-house technician-training program that allies itself with the standards set by the National Glass Association. Two of its graduates were honored as half of the top four installers in the United States, earning the esteem of their peers and a gold medal made from old hood ornaments at the United States Auto Glass Olympics. When they aren't competing for glass and glory, technicians replace windshields with parts and products purchased directly from the manufacturers, and back their work with lifetime warranties. Techna Glass also offers a lifetime rock-chip-repair membership, which entitles owners to unlimited repairs of damage caused by errant stones.

Some rooms take the motif even farther: In the Northern Lights suite, a light show replicates the dancing glow of the Aurora Borealis, and the Bears Den suite creates a cave-like atmosphere with stuffed black bears and a waterfall. The 11 cabins, which sit separate from the main log lodge, are more modestly decorated, though each boasts a private shower. All rooms come with jetted jacuzzi tubs and big-screen TVs. Breakfast, included with every stay, is made hot and à la carte with a choice of entree and two sides. Alaskan Inn also provides complimentary spiced sparkling cider and fresh-baked cookies as a snack for guests and an off-duty Santa Claus. As Alaskan Inn lies only 15 minutes from downtown Ogden, guests can easily travel to the town's numerous restaurants and shops.

The Potential of the Mountains
29 Jul 14
In its program for its six-month European Presidency, Italy has stated that it will contribute to the preparation of an action plan for EU strategy for the Alpine region. Considering the disheartening gaps still present in policy for the mountains, this news makes us hopeful. In the collective imagination, the mountains often represent the periphery, located at the edge of the lowlands. But the marginality of these areas is as much social as geographical, as is clear from the detachment of politics and the resulting lack of action tools. Are the mountain areas really so marginal to our countries? How important are the Alps within Europe? This range is an extraordinary environmental and cultural lung for the whole continent. The central position and physical conformation of these mountains has led to the development of incredible biological variety (of plants, animal breeds and ecosystems) and cultural diversity (of languages, different peoples and ethnic minorities). The intermingling of these elements has generated traditions and typical foods as well as vineyards, terraces and pastures: anthropized and semi-anthropized landscapes typical of the area, which risk falling into ruin as productive activities are abandoned. This heritage is perhaps the main identity-forming aspect that welds together many different areas, making them a macro-region and rendering the Alpine arc a potentially strategic resource for Europe from many perspectives. Just one piece of data, for now: According to a 2009 report presented by the Secretariat of the Alpine Convention, an estimated 100 million tourists visit the mountains every year. This enormous potential, however, is not yet matched by a political strategy. Industrial development has led to a gradual abandonment of these areas, with much of the population moving down into the lowlands, threatening the future of this resource. In many contexts, activities have been gradually interrupted, breaking ties with the local contexts, losing the transmission of knowledge and leading to the decline of services. Development within the Alpine region has been patchy. The situation can be completely divergent on different sides of the same mountain. The altitude, the gradient of the slope, the exposure and the hydrogeological system are all factors that play a determining role in agriculture, pastures and settlements, and have a radical effect on a valley's development. The diversity of Alpine environments and their international nature have significantly slowed a complex and delicate process of local development. Significantly, the most direct intervention for mountain agriculture so far has been the compensation payment, which provides financial recognition to agricultural activities in generically "disadvantaged" areas. Though useful, this approach has proven to be insufficient to reverse the trends. As Slow Food, we believe that it is time to rethink Europe's mountains as an opportunity rather than a problem to be solved. The recent trend of repopulation by new generations might still be tenuous, but it is nonetheless significant. The people now starting new initiatives in the mountains are doing so with new sensibilities, bringing innovation and new needs (like broadband or other telecommunications services). Despite the depopulation of the Alpine area, 14 million people still live there, the equivalent of the all the inhabitants of Denmark and Sweden put together. It is necessary to develop a vision that can look to future interventions, based on the complex local contexts of the Alps, so that policies can be about promotion rather than damage limitation. Agricultural activities in mountain areas have always shaped the landscape and the social systems, and therefore they must take on a key role in this vision of development for the region. Food production chains, if placed at the heart of a strategic plan, can be the most effective driving force for relaunching the region and promoting the local economies generated by care for the local area.

Schools Taster Day 2008
The Faculty of Science and Technology's fourth annual taster day attracted over 150 students from across the North West, who travelled to Lancaster to find out what it would be like studying their favourite subjects at university.
The year-twelve students were given a tour of the university campus before attending sessions run by Lancaster's science and technology departments.
Sessions on offer this year ranged from a hands-on practical workshop from Communication Systems using 3G mobile phones to a modern 'whodunit' from Biology that had the students solving a murder mystery using DNA evidence.
The Faculty of Science and Technology's Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies Dr. Jane Taylor said:
"Our annual taster day aims to give year-twelve students a real feel of what it's like to study science and technology subjects at university. As well as the departmental workshops, there's the opportunity to talk to our lecturers first-hand.
"We really hope the event will encourage and support the decisions these students will be making very soon about going to university."
Eight North West schools sent groups, while other students travelled from Cheshire and Yorkshire under their own intiative.
Barrow Sixth Form, who attended last year's event, returned this year with a group of 20 students. Alison Hewson, head of Maths and ICT at the school, was very positive about the value of the event:
"The organisation was excellent and the students enjoyed their tour of the campus. It helps them get a feel of what a campus uni is like and I know some of them are now considering Lancaster who may not have done prior to the day."

Comments about Dan Post Cowboy Certified Over-the-Calf Socks:
I needed some boot socks because my other socks didn't come up high enough and my legs were getting rubbed raw. I found these and they were highly recommended so I gave them a go. All in all I'm very impressed and love the way they feel. The only thing I can say negative about them is that the comfortable fit doesn't work in all of my boots. In my squared-toe boots they fit perfectly and my foot feels great. In my round-toe boots the fit is really tight and feels like my foot is crammed into my boot. I'm sure the more I wear them I'll get more adjusted to it, but it feels really snug. Overall a great product just keep in mind that while it may feel great in one boot, it may be overly tight in another.

Comments about Dan Post Cowboy Certified Over-the-Calf Socks:
Great sock for the money. Has enough cotton to feel good but enough of the man made fibers to be tough. The toe and heel are thick but not too thick. Overall, this is my favorite boot sock. I wear it every day with either Redwing Pecos pull on boots or my dress ropers.

How did the Mass become BYOB?
Article Prayer and Sacraments Scripture and Theology
Wine possesses a multi-layered significance that brings Christians into communion with Christ but also with one another, with our Jewish heritage, and with cultures preceding our own. It serves as a flavor-enhancing, pleasure-giving element of the messianic banquet. Receiving it in faith, we are "enthused," filled with the divine reality that is the source of all life. In a sacramental sense we know it as the Blood of the Lord. But how did wine get involved with religion in the first place?

A horse seized from a Blount County property earlier this month has died from what animal advocates say was extreme abuse.
Pugsley, a 15-month-old horse, was euthanized on Friday at the UT School of Veterinary Medicine.
Nina L. Margetson, Executive Director of Horse Haven of Tennessee, said Pugsley "took a turn for the worse last night when his blood sugar dropped. He stopped eating and was unable to rise on his own. After much deliberation the decision was made to have him humanely euthanized to end his suffering. We appreciate everybody's kind words, prayers and support these last few days."
The horse's owner, James Ford, is facing animal abuse charges.
Previous story
(WBIR-Knoxville. July 15, 2013) A horse seized last week from a Blount County property is back at the UT School of Veterinary Medicine, fighting for its life.
15-month-old "Pugsley" returned to U-T Sunday. Vets say he was showing increased signs of weakness and had trouble standing up.
Vets at the school have put him in a sling to help hold him up. Because of the way horses' bodies are built, they cannot lay down for long periods of time.
Vets say he faces a long road to recovery.
"Probably at least six months to get him to the point where we're sure he's going to be okay, and then even on from there to get him to be normal," said Karen McCormick.
The Blount County SPCA seized 7 horses total from the property last week, and put them in the care of Horse Haven.
Their owner, James Ford, is facing charges. Blount County deputies arrested him last week.

Jakarta. Critics are wary of official discussions that could see an end to direct elections for governors, who would instead be appointed by regional legislatures, the same system that was used during the three-decade rule of authoritarian President Suharto.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo were among the officials discussing the possible return of that New Order system.
Since the implementation of the 2004 Regional Governance Law, heads of provincial government have been elected directly by voters.
"Most of the governors believe that democratic elections are possible via the legislative councils. It has become a matter of efficiency," Fauzi said.
Hadar Gumay, chairman of the Center for Electoral Reform (Cetro), said on Sunday that returning to the old system would revive a number of problems.
"The results of such elections were often not in line with the wishes of the people," he said.
Hadar said allowing provincial legislative councils (DPRDs) to elect governors would make governors beholden to the councils, resulting in policies that benefitted lawmakers more than the people.
"In the past, many of those elected by the DPRD were oriented toward the short-term interests of the lawmakers," he said.
Direct elections, he added, were more effective in curtailing money politics, or the buying of support, which he said remained a major problem.
"With direct elections, the candidates would have to pay hundreds, thousands or even millions of voters," he said. "While a DPRD election would allow them to hand over money to just dozens of DPRD members."
In the long-term, limiting people's participation in gubernatorial elections could hinder their wider interest in politics, which could result in low voter turnout in other elections, he added.
Taufiq Hidayat, a Golkar Party legislator, has warned that indirect elections could lead to regional political oligarchies.
Some provinces are strongholds for particular parties, he said, and a return to the old system would again give these parties unchallenged dominance.
The policies of such provinces could then be controlled by party leaders at the national level, he said, damaging the spirit of regional autonomy.
"If you want the people to care about politics, you have to make as much room as possible for public engagement," he added.
Ganjar Pranowo, deputy chairman of House of Representatives Commission II, which oversees home affairs, said allowing provincial legislative councils to elect governors should only be considered under certain conditions.
"It should only be allowed if the government gives a limited amount of responsibility to governors, such as coordinating district heads or mayors," the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) lawmaker said.
"And only when the concept of regional autonomy is district or city heavy, and not provincial heavy."
The government is preparing an amendment to the 2004 Regional Governance Law, including regulations on the extent of a governor's authority.
However, Ganjar acknowledged there were still flaws with the current system of direct elections .
"It was assumed back then that direct elections would mean less money politics," he said. "But as we see, bribery still takes place in many forms."
He proposed tighter regulations on direct elections. "First, there must be a limit to how much each candidate can spend for a campaign," he said.
But more important, he said, is that the nature of campaigning must be changed so that there is less focus on street rallies and billboards and posters.
Instead, he said, campaigns should focus on debates among candidates, organized by election bodies such as the General Elections Commission (KPU), on regionally relevant issues. He also recommended tougher prerequisites for candidates.
In August, Home Affairs Minister Gamawan Fauzi mooted the idea of having governors elected by regional lawmakers.
He argued that more and more regional power had devolved to district heads and mayors, and that gubernatorial elections cost more than they were worth.

The correct application of numerical methods in finance is essential, as they directly relate to pricing methods, which in turn have a direct impact on the profit and loss distribution of a portfolio. Many of us are aware of numerical inaccuracies due to number representation, rounding or truncation and their effect on the final outcome of the solution to the problem at hand. In the financial industry, small numerical errors can mean tremendous losses for an institution. The current book provides some "baby steps" in the application of numerical methods in finance. I say "baby steps" because, naturally, there is much more to it if you are considering more sophisticated pricing schemes.
The book is divided into four parts with several appendices. Part I is titled Background. Generally, it covers financial theory that is to be later used in the book. Readers with a good finance background can easily omit this part, whereas others will find this an easy and transparent introduction to some basic concepts of finance in fixed-income, stock and derivatives market. Part II covers numerical methods. For more efficient reading it would be best if the reader had some background in linear algebra, but it is not a requirement, as the author provides the background theory where needed. Furthermore, one can always read the additional references that are provided at the end of each chapter. The author covers basic numerical analysis, numerical integration, finite difference methods and convex optimization. The presentation is very lucid. MATLAB code is given for almost every calculation, which enables frequent computer interaction. Hence, almost all of the examples presented can be redone by the reader. Part III deals with pricing equity options. Option pricing is given by binomial and trinomial lattices, Monte Carlo methods and by finite difference methods. Part IV covers some advanced optimization models such as dynamic programming, non-convex optimization, and linear stochastic programming methods with recourse.
The book is written in such a lucid way that it provides great pleasure in reading. There is a general feeling that you are just flying through the book and that you own the concepts presented. Naturally, there could always be more explanation, but since the book already has almost 700 pages, making it bigger might just turn away the (student) audience. After all, the intended audience are readers with not much experience in numerical methods; for such readers, the explanations and presentations are perfectly aligned. This book is excellent for students primarily so that they can get acquainted with pricing methods before embarking on professional careers, where this knowledge would then be improved. It can also be of great value to practitioners who are new to the field.

For two months now the Crimson has been without a basketball coach and for two months now rumors and premature announcements concerning his identity have appeared in the sports columns. Yesterday a Boston paper broke the story that Bill Barclay, a three-sports mentor from the Middle West, will succeed Floyd Stahl as coach of the Crimson five. William J. ingham '06, head of the H.A.A. could not be reached last night for confirmation.
According to the article, Barclay, Michigan University golf coach, has been signed to a three year contract. Besides turning out conference champion links teams, Barclay has acted as assistant football and basketball coach for the Wolverines during his six years stay at Ann Arbor.

Attention shoppers, there's a crazy lady in the cleaning products aisle
My current list of goals is short. I want a serene and happy family. I want to be more mindful of all my daily blessings. And, I would like a box of Gain detergent.
Only my stubborn refusal to shell out $9.75 is keeping us apart.
It's the most heady-smelling stuff on earth, but I've somehow convinced myself that if I cave on this ridiculous price for laundry detergent – laundry detergent! – I'll plunge my family into permanent insolvency.
So, like an urchin loitering at the perfume counter, each week you can find me at the grocery store taking wistful sniffs of a box of Gain under my nose – and staring resentfully at the shoppers who reach over me to take a box off the shelf and put it in their shopping cart.
The irony here (with me, there usually is one) is that I'm only sporadically prudent when it comes to household finances.
Example: within three months of moving to Rutherford County, I received a personal phone call from the Broad River Water Authority advising that our address was using an unusually high number of gallons of water.
I was so caught off guard I immediately made a personal confession.
"I prefer baths to showers. Is that it?" I whispered into the phone.
The culprit actually turned out to be my habit of running both the washing machine and the dishwasher for most of the daylight hours, plus the thrice-daily refilling of my son's plastic backyard pool.
When economists insist the market is shaped by the rational purchasing decisions of millions of consumers, you really have to wonder if they're including shoppers like me in their calculations. The idea of splurging even once on premium detergent makes me feel faint. But our regular monthly bill for the precious molecule of life? Bring all your kids and dirty dishes over! The water's on me!
If I truly want a box of Gain one day, I'm just going to have to let Tony do more of the shopping. (What's holding me back now is that no matter the time of the year, he inevitably comes back with all the fixings for a Super Bowl party.)
Typically, he makes at least one nonchalant purchase of some item I've coveted for months. The last time it was those little individually wrapped dishwasher tablets with the neon orange pellets in the middle. When I saw a bag of them nestled under the chips and soda he brought home, my heart leaped into my mouth.
"Can we afford these?" I gasped.
Tony stared at me for several seconds before responding maybe if I cut back on the water.
You know something? After all this agonizing over a silly box of detergent, I believe I've officially talked myself into buying a box of Gain. The only decision left to make now is which scent to choose.
Let's see, there's Island Fresh and Floral Fusion. There's Ocean Escape and Apple Mango Tango. Heavens, they've even got something called Icy Fresh Fizz with Oxy Booster…
Just my luck. It turns out Gain comes in 11 different scents.
At $9.75 a box, I can't afford to choose the wrong one.

For Brenda Spahn, entrepreneur and businesswoman, wealth was a lifestyle--until a brush with the law threatened to send her to prison. In those dark moments, Brenda made a promise to God.
Spared incarceration, a renewed Brenda glimpsed into the lives of women serving time in one of the worst places in America--the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women in Wetumpka, Alabama. What she saw prompted a God-inspired vision.
With a heart to help and a will that couldn't be crushed, Brenda fought the system and overcame tremendous obstacles to take ex-cons into her own home and help them navigate the alien world of life on the outside.
This is the story of Brenda's journey from rags to riches to redemption. It's the story of the first unlikely year of her "Whole Way House" and of the extraordinary lives of the first seven women who came to call her "Miss Brenda." It's a story that testifies to the power of faith and how God changes hearts every day.

There is no need for a second default gateway in your case. It's only needed if you do dynamic routing, which you don't, as far you tell us. Andy

System clock is bad.. complications?
Sooo, the first major hardware failure on my 2+ year old dell laptop is the system clock. The CMOS battery has been dead for almost a year but it never effected anything as long as it was plugged in (which is all the time, cause it has no main battery either. it died and I gutted it so it would stop bitching in windows). A week ago I upgraded the HD and re installed windows 7 with it. Ever since, the clock would lose massive amounts of time. From minutes to hours it would suddenly change. After verifying all aspects of windows dealing with the clock were set correctly and replacing the CMOS battery, I re installed windows last night to no success. I am pretty sure its not windows anymore... cause anytime the clock goes wrong, I look in the bios and the clock is as windows reported it wrong.
So atm I am using a 3rd party program to keep the clock updated every 15 minutes. Anyone else lived their life with a bad CMOS clock and run into any issues? I haven't come across any crashes yet due to time reversing itself while the pc is on.

Re: System clock is bad.. complications?
My system clock is pretty inaccurate and the only problem I've run into with it was that NTP started rejecting servers because the time was too far off (which is bizarre to me since that's the whole point of NTP, but I assume they have their reasons). It was simple enough to fix by syncing the hardware clock back to the correct time so that NTP would start updating it correctly again.

Discussion: Protection After Knee Replacement
Many players have had or going to have a knee replacement and want to protect the rebuilt knee/shin when they return to play. While there are many products out there they seem to be bulky and restrictive. I am interested in a light weight product (one piece w/ a hinged knee piece) that can be worn under softball pants without the obvious bulge and allows for mobility in the field. I have looked at baseball, softball, umpires, BMX/motorcross, lacrosse and other sports. Most of those are for over the pants or for shorts and are bulky. Any suggestions would assist a lot of players protect their knees and get back in the game.

The hostel was in the Heart of Sydney, with walking distance to the shops, Darling Harbour and the main train station. The staff were great, and it was excellent value for money. I stayed in the Sanctuary which is for girls only. I would recommend this for single girl travellers. There was a great lively bar which had very cheap meals and drink offers. There was an internet room and film room if you just wanted to chillax. The best thing about it were the other travellers, they were so friendly and talked to you at any possible chance even in the lift.

Such an easy way to see more of the surrounding area without spending a penny, also meant we made some new friends because of it. Go to Paddys Market for bargains :D

In general, I've always had good experiences with Base. The staff is great and very helpful, the rooms are clean and roomy, and they make the stay enjoyable. The price is very reasonable which is always a plus. At Base Sydney, we stayed in the Women's Sanctuary which was fabulous. It's so nice being provided with a towel when traveling. It also feels even safer being behind another locked door, but the whole place felt secure.
Cheap Accomodation - you get what you pay for.

If all you are looking for is a cheap bed for the night then this is for you, but if you want something with some comfort then stay away.

Residents, small businesses and innovators in York inundated the GeniUS! 'open innovation' forum with great ideas on how footfall and transport in the city could be used innovatively to generate income and improve the environment last month.
Created by City of York Council and Science City York, GeniUS! is the city's first community based online forum and has attracted well over 3,000 views, 200 members, nearly 300 followers on twitter and 150 inspired suggestions since launching in January to find and fund new and innovative ways for the city to meet some of its key challenges.
"How can footfall and transport be used innovatively to generate income and improve environmental sustainability in the City?" - one of the four initial challenges posted on the site - attracted by far the biggest number of responses.
A workshop was held last Thursday to undertake the difficult task of whittling down the huge number and variety of suggestions to ten ideas with the greatest potential, attended by the contributors, council experts in sustainability and transport and members of Science City York.
But now GeniUS! wants everyone's help in deciding which three of the ten they think should be taken forward by the council and brought to life for the city under the GeniUS! scheme. Once a plan to develop the idea has been agreed, the council has committed to making it happen.
People can choose the ideas they would like to see implemented by visiting www.geniusyork.com to find out more about the ten shortlisted suggestions and hitting 'reply' with their choice of the top three by Friday 6 April 2012. Once the votes are counted and the winning ideas selected, the council will work with the contributor, interested parties and experts to implement the solutions. Alternatively, people can visit the site to read about the ten shortlisted suggestions and send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with their top three selections.

In continuing coverage, HemOnc Today reports on an abstract presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting on large-panel genetic testing in breast cancer—which tend to produce more questions than they answer. In a study of 278 women with early-onset breast cancer who did not have the BRCA genes, the researchers found that only 2.5 percent of the patients had inherited mutations that were actually clinically actionable. "We're in a time where the testing technology has outpaced what we know from a clinical standpoint," said Kara Maxwell, MD, PhD, a fellow in the division of Hematology-Oncology in the Abramson Cancer Center. Senior authors on the abstract include Susan Domchek, MD, director of the Basser Research Center for BRCA, and Katherine Nathanson, MD, an associate professor in the division of Translational Medicine and Chief Oncogenomics Physician.

It seems like there's quite a bit of that music model happening lately, but that element has been there for some time. Lest we forget that Elvis started as a teen idol and didn't write his own songs, and the Beatles were groomed as a boy band and staretd out releasing their share of cover songs. Sinatra didn't write, or even have a band. Again, not good or bad or better or worse, just different, and successful. And I'll agree that they've stood the test of time, unlike most of what we're hearing on the radio now.
As for 'computers' not grooving, it's not true. I'll concede that some programmers can't groove, but there are also some deliciously deep grooves out there. You can't deny them simply because a live drummer didn't play them. You're missing a lot if you do.
I try to take it all in. I don't claim for a minute to like everything I hear, but I give everything a shot, without preconceptions or any personal agenda, such as "that recording is programmed and took a job away from me, so I hate all sequenced music!!" I can't dislike a track simply because it fits in a certain category.
Maybe because I'm involved with more types of music than most, I have a unique perspective. And don't say that I get paid to do those songs, so I

And not everything has value, but again, that problem has existed for decades in the music world, it didn't start with sequenced parts and Auto-tune.

Mathew Knowles: The Carter Divorce Rumors and Solange-Gate Was A 'Jedi Mind Trick'
We're not sure what Beyoncé's relationship is like with her dad, but it probably isn't all that good now that Mathew is spilling questionable tea about his daughter's marriage.
The troubled music exec visited The Roula and Ryan Show in Houston recently and hinted heavily at what some suspected about Solange-gate — it was all a publicity stunt for Beyoncé and Jay Z's "On The Run" tour.
When asked about the rumors that there is currently trouble in paradise with Jay Z and Beyoncé, as well as his thoughts on Solange being recorded mollywhopping Jay Z in an elevator, he revealed that it is all a "jedi mind trick" used to promote ticket and album sales.
Mathew: …sometime, ignite that tour. It's called a "Jedi Mind Trick." The Jedi Mind Trick fools you a lot of times so things you see sometimes are *poof.*
Host: So you think the argument…that Solange was hitting Jay Z in that elevator, do you think they knew it was being recorded and wanted to get out there?
Mathew: All I know is the "Jedi Mind Trick." Everybody's talking about it. Ticket sales went up. Solange's album sales went up 200%. Hmm, I don't know.
Mathew's claims are similar to claims made by celebrity publicist Jonathan Hay, who credits himself with planting fake Jay Z/Beyoncé/Rihanna love triangle stories back in the day. Via Billboard:
"Always consider the timing in these situations," Hay says. "That staged elevator fight hit the news immediately before the release of their On The Run tour trailer video. The fight gives regular news stations — beyond just entertainment news — a headline, which broadens their audience. They're also going to bring up the On The Run tour and ask questions like, 'Will their be drama on the road?' and, 'Is this going to be the final performances of Jay Z and Beyonce?' They created a compelling spectacle, which ultimately creates a demand."
But it's worth noting that many of those tickets were sold after the tour — and the media onslaught — kicked off.
"These shows sold tremendously well at the end," Omar Al-Joulani, the tour's promoter, told Billboard for a separate story. Only as each date grew closer did sales skyrocket — which is what led several outlets to incorrectly predict disappointing sales for the tour.
In case you are wondering if Mathew is still in contact with his daughter, he revealed in the same interview:
We still talk every Sunday. She's still the humble, generous person that she's always been.
Watch a portion of his interview below:
The "Jedi Mind" trick worked because the media will not let the divorce rumors go. Not even the family's appearance at the VMAs could stop the rumors. Just this week, The New York Post hired body language experts to analyze video and photos of Jay and Bey at the MTV Video Music Awards.
I see a lot of hurt and pain here," says Florida-based body language expert Susan Constantine. "They're just trying to save face. They feel no emotions toward each other," adds Constantine, who examined a video of the appearance as well as this still photo (at left).
The body language expert, who also works as a jury consultant, says that pictures can sometimes be more telling than videos. Discovering how someone truly feels is about analyzing their "microexpressions" — brief, sometimes involuntary movements of the face that betray emotions.
"Jay Z and Beyoncé are completely distant, and their minds are on something else," she says. "Beyoncé feels really uncomfortable."
Constantine says the superstar's body language indicates she might be going through emotional trauma and hasn't reached the acceptance stage yet. Hence the discomfort.
Even 2-year-old Blue Ivy might be trying to tell us something.
"I see this sense of sadness. It's almost like Beyoncé is looking at her going, 'It's OK,' " Constantine says. "And the baby is saying, 'This doesn't seem right.' Children are very perceptive."
Mind you, this is a nanosecond still from that night. My goodness.

Wilson Students Wanna Know
Kindergarten through fifth grade students at Wilson Elementary School in Sheboygan had a great opportunity to explore positive character habits in a fun and memorable way on Wednesday, November 4, 2009. The "Inspector Iwannano Show" came to school! Through music, comedy, magic, extraordinary props and gadgets, Inspector Iwannano, a live character, delivered a strong message - Your Actions Show Your Character.
Guidance counselor, Monica Bonestroo stated, "The live presentation was a perfect program to build upon the six pillars of character she teaches students in her biweekly class sessions. Bonestroo went on to say "the six characteristics," which include respect, responsibility, fairness, citizenship, trustworthiness, and caring, "are connected and depend upon each other." The schools' motto 4 > 2 (for is greater than to), depends upon all six characteristics because "to be a great person you have to be a person of character."
Through his character building program Inspector Iwannano helped students gain an understanding that respecting others, being trustworthy and reliable, playing fair and showing kindness, among other positive actions shows what kind of person you are.

Voters raise their voices. Congressmen in shirtsleeves deliver bromides. Advocacy groups attempt to rally grassroots activists. It must be the August recess.
With Congress already into the second week of its five-week break, reports have begun to surface nationwide of clashes between lawmakers and activists of all ideologies. And while the action has perhaps been louder in years past, plenty of lawmakers are getting an earful.
One constituent told Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., that "we're dying out here" because congressional Republicans were being too "nice" to President Obama.
Freshman Rep. Robert Pittenger, R-N.C., landed in the middle of a GOP feud when asked during a town hall if he backed a plan by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to defund Obamacare. Videos of the at-times heated exchange got picked up in the media—and that is often the point.
Many advocacy groups agitate at town-hall meetings and other gatherings, hoping that a well-placed question can generate a firestorm online. For the groups, the tactic is about sharpening their attacks and being aggressive, said Americans United for Change spokeswoman Lauren Weiner.
The group already scored once this summer, when Leslie Boyd of Ashville, N.C., whose son had trouble getting insurance because of a preexisting condition and who later died of cancer, confronted Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., about his opposition to certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act. The questioning was caught on video and was promoted online.
"It's not necessarily about embarrassing them but asking them very pointed questions, [telling them,] 'You have to answer for these positions,' " Weiner said.
Weiner's group has transformed an internal database of information on Republican town-hall meetings into a tool that the public can access. Accountablecongress.com lets users search for events being held by Republican lawmakers. The thinking is that opening up the database will encourage Democrats in Republican districts to make an appearance at a town-hall meeting, ask a question, and record the lawmaker's response.
"What we're seeing is that members in very safe, very red districts are holding more events, so we're trying to get folks out to events to ask one or two questions," Weiner said.
Conservative groups are wading into the same waters as well. Freedom Works, for example, is using its site to encourage users to share information about lawmakers' town halls and posting the results.
Some conservative groups are focused on influencing Republican lawmakers to adopt Lee's approach to Obamacare. Lee wants Republicans to agree not to fund the government, and to blocking a continuing resolution to do so, unless the Affordable Care Act is entirely defunded.
Heritage Action is leading what it's billing as a "Defund Obamacare Town Hall Tour," led by Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint, the former tea-party senator. The nine-stop tour begins next Monday in Fayetteville, Ark., and tea-party Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, one of Lee's leading allies in the Senate, is expected to join the tour at its stop in Dallas.
Even before that tour began, Pittenger was asked at a town hall whether he would vote to defund Obamacare and flatly answered no when pressed to give a simple answer. Later, he suggested such a proposal would not make it through the Democratic Senate, an argument Republicans like Sens. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Bob Corker of Tennessee have likewise made about Lee's proposal.
The battle to dominate the message wars in August—and the liability that comes with an open microphone—may have some lawmakers backing away from town-hall-style events. While figures were not available indicating how many lawmakers held events this year, a No Labels survey from 2011 showed that only 44 percent planned to schedule meetings that year.
The survey followed a particularly heated summer in 2009, when meetings in some cases turned violent, and the tea party began to gain a political foothold. In the town-hall vacuum that followed, some lawmakers moved instead to so-called tele-town halls, which gave them the ability to screen questions more effectively than they can at live events.
That dynamic, in turn, explains why some commentators have begun to call for the end of town halls as we knew them.
"The Internet, 24/7 cable news, and relentless operatives in these polarized, high-volume times have turned meeting rooms into stages," wrote Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn. "And congressional representatives who want to get a handle on what their constituents really think instead of simply getting an earful need to get off their—how to put it nicely?—chairs, walk around and ask."

Governor O'Malley Calls Maryland Citizens to Action for the Bay
Discusses Tipping Point Strategy with Scientists on Tour of Bush River
Hartford County, MD - On the eve of the 26th Chesapeake Executive
Council Meeting, Governor Martin O'Malley and senior advisors toured the Bush
River aboard the R.V. Rachel Carson to discuss two new strategies to accelerate
Bay restoration in Maryland. Citing what scientists call a "tipping point" — a
stage at which progress within a tributary can begin to promote self-healing —
the Governor announced plans for a major new outreach effort to enlist local
governments, businesses and citizens to take a more active role in restoring the
health of Maryland's waterways.
"For Marylanders, the Bay is not something we drive over on our way to the ocean," said the Governor. "The Bay is alive in the creeks, streams and rivers that run through our neighborhoods and our open spaces. The Bay puts crabs and oysters on our tables and brings tourism dollars into our State's economy. All Maryland families — even those who do not live within the watershed — benefit from what the Chesapeake brings to our great State."
At tomorrow's Executive Council meeting, Governor O'Malley will announce Maryland's new 2-year milestones, short term goals developed over the past several months by the Governor and his BayStat team to better target, focus and accelerate efforts on the ground, and measure results.
"We have spent too much time focusing on missed long term goals, bad report cards, and lack of resources," the Governor continued. "Now is the time to hold ourselves accountable for what we can each do, while on this planet, to make a difference."
"The programming changes called for under these new milestones will not only create a new level of accountability and new sense of urgency, they will greatly accelerate our ability to achieve a new Bay-wide nutrient reduction implementation end date," added DNR Secretary John Griffin.
The tipping point theory the group discussed today reinforces the need for targeting resources and efforts in individual tributaries or sub-watersheds, where they can have the greatest impact and jump start recovery in these smaller systems.
According to the 2008 Chesapeake Bay Habitat Health Report Card recently issued by the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Sciences (UMCES), in some cases tributaries adjacent to one another are demonstrating different, diverging trends.
"It seems that some river systems may have reached a tipping point, where self-reinforcing elements within the ecosystem are working to maintain either positive or negative trends," explained Don Boesch, President of UMCES. "An increase in underwater bay grasses can promote the growth of more bay grasses, improving water clarity, increasing oxygen levels and providing better habitat for fish and crabs."
For example, while the Bush River in the Upper Western Bay is seeing signs of improvement, the adjacent Upper Eastern Shore tributaries – such as the Sassafras -- are continuing to degrade. Scientists are still developing more precise information on the actual nutrient loadings that constitute a tipping point for a specific river system, however, they believe it can propel large-scale changes.
Through BayStat, the O'Malley-Brown Administration has already made significant changes in how Maryland tracks, targets and funds Bay restoration programs — placing new emphasis on best management practices that are most cost effective, and geographically targeting programs to generate the greatest benefit.
To enlist every Maryland citizen in the charge to create a smarter, greener more sustainable future for the State and the Bay, Governor O'Malley has tasked his BayStat team with developing a grass roots action plan to include: expanded roles for Maryland's Tributary Team and Soil Conservation Districts; heightened engagement by county and municipal leaders in implementing the State's tributary strategies; and a citizens' call to undertake specific actions that will contribute to local restoration.
"Just as the Bay's problems are man made, so too are their solutions," said Governor O'Malley. "Working together as One Maryland, getting our hands dirty and our boots wet, we can realize a restored Chesapeake Bay that we will be proud to leave as a legacy to our children."

Posted by Bacon Lover on 01/14/2012
My boyfriend got off work at 4 a.m. one night and scooped me up and took me here. I ordered my favorite breakfast, bacon and eggs over medium with hashbrowns and toast. Simple, but well executed. Perfect eggs and not overly greasy at all. Good coffee too. Would definitely go here again late in the night. It's tasty.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/18/2009
I was drawn to this place by the quaint, pastel-colored picket fence surrounding it and the promise of delicious breakfast food. Although the server was very efficient and polite, I was shocked by the food. This was the first time in my life that I have ever tasted bad bacon. I don't know if it was supposed to taste that way, or if it had simply gone bad and they decided to serve it anyway. The hash browns were also not what I expected. Instead of small cubes of deliciously spiced potatoes, I got thin strips of potato that tasted like burnt oil. And my eggs tasted the same as the hash browns. Never wasting my money here again.

This is absolutely my favourite Washington greasy spoon. I used to live in the neighbourhood and so could walk to Osman & Joe for a bite late, late, very late at night. Miss it now! What an extensive breakfast menu! I also love it that their "steak n eggs" menu is superior to the usual. Gosh, they have T-Bone steak & eggs! The long-term staff are real characters and will make sure your coffee cup doesn't remained unfilled for long. Breakfast lovers who want to eat breakfast anytime of day should come to this place!
Posted by Elle on 11/03/2007
It's a great late night place. hungry, want something quick and fattening this is the place to go. only problem there isn't a lot of seating. The service is pretty good. most of the employees are very friendly and if its not too busy they talk with the customers. Reminds me of diners back in new jersey.... and for a jersey girl at heart... its wonderful!
