Product description
A Cultural History of the Atlantic World, 1250-1820 explores the idea that strong links exist in the histories of Africa, Europe and North and South America. John K. Thornton provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the Atlantic Basin before 1830 by describing political, social and cultural interactions between the continents' inhabitants. He traces the backgrounds of the populations on these three continental landmasses brought into contact by European navigation. Thornton then examines the political and social implications of the encounters, tracing the origins of a variety of Atlantic societies and showing how new ways of eating, drinking, speaking and worshipping developed in the newly created Atlantic World. This book uses close readings of original sources to produce new interpretations of its subject.

Review quote
'John Thornton captures the moment Africa, Europe and the Americas came together and the new world that was created. A Cultural History of the Atlantic World [1250-1820] will be a foundation stone in the study of the Atlantic, simultaneously an entry point for novices, a reference for established scholars, and a guide for future studies. An extraordinary achievement.' Ira Berlin, University of Maryland 'Only a handful of historians can master the cascading new scholarship on African, Latin American, European and North American history in the pre-modern era. John Thornton is the premier historian of this endeavor. In tracing the emergence of hybrid cultures - from language transfer to evolving political structures to interpenetrating musical styles and forms of worship - he has no equal. Brilliantly covering half a millennium of Atlantic basin interaction, this is a must-read book.' Gary B. Nash, University of California, Los Angeles 'John Thornton's [book] is a remarkable accomplishment. With deep learning and full immersion in source documents from four continents and many languages, he tells a story of the Atlantic basin in the early modern world that identifies broad unities without erasing the complexities of local circumstances. And that story is one with a compelling narrative arc, from its beginnings long before 1492 to its end in the revolutionary upheavals of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.' Daniel K. Richter, University of Pennsylvania 'Finally we have an Atlantic history in which the peoples and cultures of the three continents are given equal weight, and in which Africans, Native Americans and Europeans are all important actors in and creators of this history. The integration of primary sources, current scholarship, and new interpretations makes Thornton's book essential reading for scholars, students and the general public.' Stuart B. Schwartz, Yale University 'His judgements are balanced, his narrative lucid ... impressive.' History Today

Savage 2 UpdateJanuary 19th, 2008 by Crusader
Thanks to sergio for pointing out this forum post from S2 Games' Jason Morales which explains the delay the Savage 2 Linux client has experienced:
The person writing the OpenGL renderer for the client went AWOL, so we had to put it on hold while we prep for launch. As soon as all the chaos of launching the game has died down, somebody will be working on this.
Savage 2 is a mixed-genre (FPS/RTS) sequel to Savage: The Battle for Newerth, which was also released for Linux.
Edit: Thanks Nemoder for pointing out these forum posts with additional elaboration on the delay; one positive point is that future S2 games using this engine should have simultaneous Linux ports:

It works great noticable difference morning after I put it in. Alternate this and phosphate remover every two weeks. Works well By Kerric on 4/2/2012 Kerric would recommend this product to a friend I have been using this carbon for a few months and it does exactly what is advertised. I change it every two weeks and use the calculator to figure out how much to use and it keeps the water in my tank crystal clear. Great carbon By Bryan on 3/31/2012 Bryan would recommend this product to a friend This is great carbon for your reactors. Great Value! By Joe on 3/31/2012 Joe would recommend this product to a friend Have been purchasing this product for 2 years and love the value of buying in bulk. Great product with Great Results!! By Roberto on 3/21/2012 Roberto would recommend this product to a friend I have used different brands before and this blows the other products out of the water. Instantly clearer water and the fish and coral loved it, and so did I. Good Carbon By David on 3/18/2012 David would recommend this product to a friend It is just carbon after all! That said, its good stuff. The only reason I gave it 4 stars on the recommendation is that I would caution anyone who uses carbon in a reactor that this stuff is significantly smaller in size compared to most other carbon products. As a result, you should down power (ball valve) your pump or be prepared to swap to a smaller pump. Otherwise, this stuff does the job as well as any other out there. I always notice water clarity and a little, immediate boost in coral growth when after a change in the media. excellent product By James on 3/14/2012 James would recommend this product to a friend The performance of the ROX .8 out weighs the cost. It's technically a little less expensive, than the smaller carbon, because I don't have to use as much. Best Carbon I have Found By Ted on 3/8/2012 Ted would recommend this product to a friend I had purchased "reef" carbon from a local reef supply company... the lack of clarity and odor still persisted. One day with ROX 0.8 and a BRS Carbon Reactor and it is clear and smell is gone! I am a fan for good! Accept no substitute!!!! By Steven on 3/2/2012 Steven would recommend this product to a friend Best carbon on the market. Keeps the water crystal clear. Excellent Carbon By Jesse on 3/2/2012 Jesse would recommend this product to a friend This is by far the best carbon I have used and has an exceptional price. It rinses off clean and does not break down as fast as other carbons I have used in the past. Would definitely recommend this above any other carbon on the market, well, at least of the ones I have tired and that covers just about every carbon that is commonly available in Local Fish Stores. Works Great By Nathan on 3/1/2012 Nathan would recommend this product to a friend Low dust as advertised. I use passively in a mesh sock and the results are wonderful. ROX Rocks! By Carl on 2/21/2012 Carl would recommend this product to a friend Early in my reefing experience I realized the importance of using carbon and have never turned back. Finding the right carbon however has been a trial and error task that has ended at ROX 0.8. I'm using it in a BRS media reactor and by far this carbon has kept my system cleaner than any other type i've tried. On top of that, the amount of dust/fines it produces is nil if you properly clear it when installing a fresh cartridge. I only replace a cupful every 4 weeks in my setup and my water is crystal clear. I switched to this carbon right during a silicone poisoning disaster (my fault) and my tank recovered from a lethargic near-death state to happy and healthy within 48 hours. Thank you ROX!

About us
Who We Are
Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Baha'i, Sikh and others… the Interfaith Center is governed by a Board of Directors and a professional team whose members reflect a broad spectrum of religious, ethnic and racial communities. These leaders advance the agency's mission by drawing on their collective experience in interfaith relations and diversity work conducted in civic, governmental, community and educational areas.
The Center's holistic approach to learning engages the head, the heart, and the hands through teaching, dialogue, and service. Formal projects, or Signature Initiatives have the same goal, which is to create communities of hope and reconciliation throughout our region—in workplaces, schools and neighborhoods. We bring together religious leaders, congregants, and youth to get to know each other as people and to learn how to value and respect the "other" while maintaining (and often strengthening) their own religious identities.
Dare to Understand
Our tagline, Dare to Understand™, is both a statement of fact and a call to action, encapsulating so much of what makes our work unique. It conveys a sense of the courage required to participate and engage in interfaith work, the fear of the religious "other" felt by so many, and the need to overcome such fears. It challenges us to be bold in learning about one another, to dare to listen sincerely to the crying needs of our time, and to work together to contribute to the good of our region. Not only is our tagline a call for a deeper understanding of the religious "other," but it is also an invitation to continued discovery within one's own self, heritage, and unique perspective.

As a young boy on his family's dairy goat farm in Northwestern Oregon, Joe Jacobs, the director of Walla Walla's recently born-again Small Business Development Center, developed a work ethic.
Up at 6 every morning, he hand-milked about a dozen goats in a cycle that would repeat itself in the evenings
Rain or shine.
Holidays and weekends, too.
He later learned about service and consistency as a food service specialist in the U.S. Army; the importance of planning when his post-collegiate vision of starting his own assisted living facility didn't materialize; flexibility working as an account executive for corporate food companies; and taking risks as the owner of his own inert landfill and roll-off trucking company.
One of the biggest lessons of all he picked up while working on a proposed winery and event center: "Sometimes the best decision in business is not to move forward with a project," the goatee-sporting Jacobs reflected. "How great is it to know that before something gets built?"
The road to Walla Walla's Small Business Development Center took him from that childhood farm in Sherwood, Ore., to Spokane and most recently the Tri-Cities, where he served as operations specialist for CH2M Hill before the end of the Recovery Act funds that helped create his position.
In Walla Walla, Jacobs said he has landed his "dream job." One where he can tap the benefit of his experience -- as well as a vast network of resources -- to help advise local business operators in free one-on-one sessions.
"It's kind of amazing how all my experiences in life helped prepare me for this job," Jacobs marveled during a recent interview behind a cubicled wall at his temporary office in the Port of Walla Walla's headquarters.
It's been more than a year since the community had such a business service.
Walla Walla's Small Business Development Center operated for years within the Washington Small Business Development Center network. At the end of 2008, the network did not renew its partnership with Walla Walla Community College, which was one of its funding sources.
But the local office continued to operate with funding from the college, Port of Walla Walla and Washington State University. When the state budget was socked in the recession, the colleges cut their contributions, and the office closed in April 2010.
A local initiative to revive the office so impressed the Spokane-based state director for the Washington network that he worked to find funding in the budget to help restore the operation.
"We don't have another community in the state that has embraced the idea of a Small Business Development Center like Walla Walla," said state Director Brett Rogers. "It's amazing how many people down there -- from community leaders to bankers to government agencies -- who really see the value the Small Business Development Center can bring ...."
Jacobs joins a network of 26 other business advisers across the state. Their expertise comes from a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, engineering, high-tech innovation, retail sales and business management. Any questions Jacobs may not be able to answer on his own can be posed to others in the network.
The service provides assistance in the form of guidance and resources to businesses. In 2011, advisers across Washington state met with more than 2,800 small-business owners, Rogers said. They developed ongoing advising relationships with nearly 90 percent of them. Clients, he said, credited advisers with helping to create or save more than 600 jobs, 118 new businesses and secure nearly $30 million in capital.
The network includes four international trade specialists who assist small-business clients who are either new to export or considering expanding their current export operations.
The Walla Walla Small Business Development Center is part of a collaboration between local agencies and the Small Business Development Center Network, an economic development program of Washington State University and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The budget is estimated at $120,000 to $130,000. Half of that is federal funding. The other half is local from financial or in-kind contributions, officials have said.
The Downtown Walla Walla Foundation will be the fiscal agent for the center, on behalf of Partnership Walla Walla, an organization of local agencies including the Port of Columbia, cities of Waitsburg, Walla Walla and College Place, Tourism Walla Walla, the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance, Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce, Walla Walla Community College, Downtown Walla Walla Foundation and Milton-Freewater Community Development Partnership.
Jacobs, who plans to relocate from the Tri-Cities, where his youngest is still in high school, already sees demand for the services since he started in early January.
He's been contacted by people considering starting three different businesses and two manufacturers trying to break into new export markets. "I'm really finding the Walla Walla Valley to be a fertile place to start and grow a business," he said.
He's had meetings with representatives of local banks, government agencies and nonprofit organizations. One of the first calls he fielded was from an older business owner seeking guidance on how to build her digital footprint.
Though not yet clear on specific challenges facing the Walla Walla Valley as a whole, Jacobs said he has discovered one of its greatest benefits: the sense of community itself.
"I'm really finding the Walla Walla Valley to be a fertile place to start and grow a business," he said. "My job is to help. Small business is really the engine that drives our economy. That's where wealth is created."

The 2014 budget to be unveiled this week by House Republicans will re-open a GOP drive to repeal President Barack Obama's health-care law, an uphill battle that some Republicans nonetheless see as worth fighting.
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, is preparing to release on Tuesday a budget that would curb new government spending by about $5 trillion over a decade without raising new taxes and also slow growth in annual spending.
Ryan said over the weekend that repeal should happen. "This is what budgeting is all about," he said on "Fox News Sunday." "It's about making tough choices to fix our country's problems. We believe Obamacare is a program that will not work."
With Democrats firmly in control of the Senate, a repeal of the president's signature health-care law would be virtually impossible. But the House budget chairman's drive to toss out the law, coupled with efforts by some senators to de-fund the law, indicate the staying power of conservative opposition to the 2010 law signed by Obama. Senate Republicans including Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are threatening to hold up a vote on a budget that would fund the government for the rest of the 2013 fiscal year unless they are given a vote on de-funding Obamacare.
While full-scale repeal is likely a political impossibility, Republicans and some Democrats have shown no signs of trying to repeal another part of the law: the 2.3% tax on medical devices.

Add Perreault to Anaheim's list of walking wounded
May 9, 2014, 3:15 PM EDT
The dreaded lower-body injury has hit the Ducks once again.
The day after Frederik Andersen and Matt Beleskey were lost to lower-body ailments during a Game 3 win over Los Angeles, Anaheim announced that forward Mathieu Perreault is also now day-to-day with one.
It's unclear what Perreault hurt, but it appears the injury happened at some point during the third period — he took his last shift midway through the game and didn't return, leaving the Ducks thin up front as Beleskey was knocked from the contest around the same time.
Perreault has been a solid contributor for the Ducks this postseason, scoring four points in eight games while averaging 13:31 TOI. Should he be unable to go in Saturday's Game 4, the Ducks could be forced to make another call up from AHL Norfolk, having already summoned goalie John Gibson as a potential replacement for Andersen.
Emerson Etem could be brought back up, or the team could use one of its healthy forward scratches from Game 3: Tim Jackman, Daniel Winnik or Rickard Rakell.

Must be playing the kings
- areaman714 - May 9, 2014 at 4:10 PM
Why, did the Kings fans boo him too when he got hurt?
- ralphprz - May 9, 2014 at 7:33 PM
Kings fans are a bunch of scumbags, last time me and my little 16 yr old brother got jumped walking out of the stadium only because my brother kept cheering for his team, so when they cheer when someone gets injured its not surprising at all. Funny part is 50% of that stadium cant name 10 players on their team.
- paulerhythm - May 9, 2014 at 7:25 PM
Injuries are a part of play off hockey's test of attrition. Gotta overcome then so how, some way. If any team can overcome them, it's the Ducks as they have the depth, just saying.
- 22lakings22 - May 9, 2014 at 8:15 PM
Sounds like the Ducks' master plan of hitting every King in their sights is backfiring on them. It's hockey. Players get hurt, especially during the long grueling process known as the playoffs. Two of the Kings' veteran defensemen are injured…it happens.
Hockey fans are passionate fans…it's not as if Ducks fans have never booed a player who they feel is feigning injury. Unfortunately, Andersen was truly injured, but why so butthurt about a little booing? Get a grip.
Finally, ralphprz's claiming that 50% of Kings fans at Staples can't name 10 players…I'll one up you & say only 10% of Ducks fans at Games 1 & 2 combined can name 5 players. Bazinga!
- areaman714 - May 9, 2014 at 8:41 PM
Now that is expected Kings fan rationale. Google Kings fans boo rookie Avs goalie from just last year. That, and littering the ice after a ref call they didn't like. I think the butthurtedness is from Kings fans that find it hard to defend the incontrovertible truth that they are some of the most infantile in all of sports
- 22lakings22 - May 10, 2014 at 12:55 AM
Pot calling the kettle black. Your fans threw crap on the ice at e Kings players after losing Game ONE in OT! That was just the first game of the series & you littered your own arena! 714…how about being less arrogant, and accept that Ducks fans aren't as perfect as you think they are. I just saw an adult Ducks fan waving his ugly orange playoff towel in the face of an 8-year old Kings fan! Talk about infantile. Be happy that you're playing a somewhat friendly Kings fanbase, you'd be eaten alive at a Rangers, Bruins, or Flyers game.
- areaman714 - May 10, 2014 at 2:28 AM
Multiply that stuff by thirty and you have 30 percent of the kings fan base. My friend's girlfriend got spat on waiting just to get into the game at Staples. When I go to Kings games, I sit in the 200's as most of those folks are old Forum Kings fans and are fun to sit and talk hockey with . . . it is the doughebag Raiders fans that primarily give the Kings fan base its historical bad name.

Answer: 'probably' …
*** earlier today at a coffee shop on the corner of 190th Street and Western Ave in LA County ***
Blom Dawg: friends, what did make of our defeat last night ?
Kool G Rap: it's nothing to worry about Blom, trust me … you see, the Ducks haven't the nature for war … their pampered & uppity OC lifestyle, coupled with their narcissistic 'self-serving' tunnel vision does nothing but set the stage for their own 'complete and utter' ruination … in effect, they're actually their own worst enemies …
Schoolly D: yes Blom, I tend to agree with Kool G … as you know, we Kings have the notion of 'sangfroid' forever etched in our blood, much like the British 'soldier of foot' did for centuries in the British Army … and if I dare say in fact, it's actually the reason why we're conversing in the King's English here today ? …
Blom Dawg: I think you're both right friends … so victory tomorrow then eh ?
Kool G Rap & Schoolly D: hell ya !!!

Riverside South, Manhattan
Coordinates: 40°46′41″N 73°59′19″W / 40.77812°N 73.988585°W
Riverside South (also known as Trump Place) is an apartment complex originated by Donald Trump and six civic partners (Municipal Art Society, Natural Resources Defense Council, New Yorkers for Parks, Regional Plan Association, Riverside Park Fund, and Westpride) on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, in New York City.
The $3 billion project is on a 56-acre (23 ha) site along Riverside Boulevard between 59th Street and 72nd Street was to include 16 apartment buildings with a maximum of 5,700 residential units, 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2) of studio space, 300,000 square feet (30,000 m2) of office space, ancillary retail space and a 25-acre (10 ha) waterfront park. The studio and office space were not approved.
Rail yard[edit]
The land for the development was formerly a freight rail yard owned by the New York Central Railroad. New York Central's rail track north of 72nd Street was covered in the 1930s in a Robert Moses project called the West Side Improvement.[1]:696–698 The project was bigger than Hoover Dam and created the Henry Hudson Parkway. It also created Riverside Park and was so skillfully done that many believe the park and road are set on a natural slope.[1]:698–700 New York Central merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad to form Penn Central in 1968 as the rail lines were suffering severe financial difficulties that would ultimately lead to the demise of both. (The rail yard was known as the Penn Yards even though Penn Central only owned it for a brief period.)
In 1962 the railroad proposed a partnership with the Amalgamated Lithographers Union to build a mixed-use development with 12,000 apartments, Litho City, on a platform over the tracks and on landfill in the Hudson River. The late 1960s saw various proposals by the city's Educational Construction Fund for mixed residential and school projects, also partly on landfill.[2]
As the railroad as well as the city faced bankruptcy, Donald Trump first optioned the property for $10 million in 1974. His proposal for 12,450 apartments depended on public financing, which never materialized. The Macri Group, an Argentine company, bought the property in partnership with developer Abe Hirschfeld in 1979, and in 1981, for the first time, a redevelopment plan was approved for the site — a 7,300,000-square-foot (680,000 m2), largely residential project named Lincoln West. However, the development team was unable to obtain financing, and the project died.
Television City[edit]
In January 1985, Donald Trump bought the rights of the Macri Group for $117 million.[3] Trump proposed building a vast complex he called Television City, featuring headquarters for NBC along with television studios. The plan involved 18,500,000 square feet (1,720,000 m2) of residential, retail, office, and studio construction. The centerpiece of the project, designed by Helmut Jahn, was to be a 152-story tower, the 'World's Tallest Building'.
The project generated fierce opposition and NBC, fearing delays,[4] eventually decided to continue broadcasting from Rockefeller Center. At this point the project was redesigned by Alexander Cooper, renamed Trump City, and downsized slightly to 14,500,000 square feet (1,350,000 m2), but that failed to satisfy the critics.
Burial of the West Side Highway[edit]
One of the key components of Riverside South is relocating and burying the West Side Highway from approximately West 70th Street to West 61st Street to facilitate a southward expansion of Riverside Park.
The current viaduct from 72nd to 57th streets is the only remaining section of the West Side Elevated Highway, which once extended to the southern tip of Manhattan. A portion of the elevated highway, which was mostly built in the 1920s and 1930s, collapsed in 1973 at 14th Street. Rather than repairing the antiquated road, the state closed it and planned to replace the viaduct (up to 34th Street) with an interstate highway in new landfill, known as Westway. Fifteen years later, after the failure of the Westway proposal, the state settled on an at-grade expressway up to 57th Street flanked by a new Hudson River Park. Despite Robert Moses' proposal to relocate the highway to grade north of 59th Street to facilitate an extension of Riverside Park,[5] the elevated section between 59th and 72nd streets remained.
The section between 59th and 72nd streets was a little more overgrown than the rest because, while the state owned an easement, neither the state nor the city owned the land. Acquiring the land to relocate the highway from the bankrupt Penn Central would have interfered with private development, which was seen at a time when the city was also near bankruptcy, as preferable to public financing.
Despite city approval in 1992 of the Riverside South plan, which would create a public park with private funds, opponents claim that any complementary public funding to bury the road would benefit only the developer and effectively waste the public funds used to renovate the viaduct in the 1990s. Opponents were further upset by the decision to close the West 72nd Street entrance ramp to the West Side Highway; the ramp has since reopened. However, in June 2006, the developer began construction of a tunnel for the relocated northbound lanes of the highway between 61st and 65th streets, raising hopes that the highway will eventually be moved.
Riverside South[edit]
In 1989 six civic organizations proposed an alternative plan devised by Daniel Gutman, an environmental planner, and Paul Willen, an architect.[6] Known as Riverside South, the civic alternative was a largely residential project of 7,300,000 square feet (680,000 m2), the previously approved floor area, based on relocating, and partially burying the West Side Highway to make room for a 23-acre (9.3 ha) expansion of Riverside Park. Hobbled by his weak financial position, Trump acquiesced and formed a partnership with his critics, formally the Riverside South Planning Corporation (RSPC). The RSPC compromise project[7] was approved in 1992 without the television studios and office space that Trump had substituted for some of the residential space. The final project size was 6,100,000 square feet (570,000 m2) with 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2) of television studios still possible on the two southern blocks.
Continuing to face bankruptcy, Trump was introduced to a consortium of Hong Kong investors by NYC Real Estate Broker, Susan Cara, and reached a deal with the consortium in June, 1994. This joint venture finally put in motion the largest private development project in New York City history. Trump remained as the public face of the group, as he has on many other projects, but he lost control. Construction was delayed for several years as the new investors sought public financing. With improvement in the development climate, the new investors began construction in 1997. In 2005, the Hong Kong investors sold the unbuilt portion of the property to the Carlyle Group and the Extell Development Company. Contending that the sale for $1.76 billion was little more than half what the property was worth, Trump sued his partners, but lost. Trump's name remains on some of the existing buildings.
In late 2008, Extell proposed a 2,900,000-square-foot (270,000 m2), largely residential project on the southern two blocks (59th to 61st streets) to complete the development (up from 2,400,000 square feet (220,000 m2) — the 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2) of studio space plus 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2) of residential space already approved). The Extell project, known as Riverside Center, was approved by the City Council in 2010.
The second phase of Riverside South was completed when the housing market improved. Overall, the project consists of nineteen apartment buildings, condominiums, and lease properties. As of mid-2011[update], twelve buildings have been completed.
As with all dwellings bearing the Trump name, living units in Riverside South are likely to be positioned towards the high-end housing market. Nevertheless, 12% to 20% of the units will be affordable, as required by the City Planning Commission approval of the project.

Make a decorative screen to dress up your fireplace for the summer. Plus, watch the how-to video!
Although a hearth doesn't house a roaring fire when temperatures soar, it can still be the focal point of a room. I wallpapered the recessed surround of an electric fireplace to mimic the look of mosaic tile; then, for a quick seasonal update, I built a summery screen to go in front. Here's how to take your own fireplace from simple to stunning.
Materials and Tools
- At least 4 yards of wallpaper
- Measuring tape
- Double-sided tape
- Utility knife
- 5 art canvases
- 6 square yards of fabric
- Staple gun
- 3-1/2 yards of black linen
- Glue gun
- 8 small hinges
Step 1: Choose wallpaper and fabric
I love the look of complementary prints: the Kaleido wallpaper by Jocelyn Warner feels fun yet sophisticated when mixed with the fireplace screen's summery floral fabric from LuLu DK, and it truly pops off the freshly painted mantel. The screen is only up for a few months, so experiment with a bold eclectic look.
Step 2: Wallpaper the surround*
Measure the width of your fireplace surround and cut two sheets of wallpaper to run lengthwise across it, one sheet stretching across the top of the surround and the second across the bottom. Take care to match up the pattern along the horizontal seam. Using double-sided tape to hold it in place, cut away any wallpaper that's covering the fireplace insert with a utility knife; then, it's ready to be affixed. Use a semipermanent adherent like double-sided tape on a functioning fireplace for easy removal in the fall.
* When working with any functioning fireplace, be sure to remove the wallpaper before use to avoid discoloration, singeing and potential fire hazards.
Step 3: Build the fireplace screen
Use five 8" x 20" art canvases to create the screen. Cut the patterned fabric into five strips, approx. 1' x 2' each, with enough fabric on all sides to wrap around the back edges of the canvas. Use a staple gun to attach the fabric to the back of the canvas. Next, cut five 8" x 20" pieces of black linen to cover the back of each canvas and secure using a glue gun. Hinge the canvases together, alternating the direction of the hinges every second canvas so the screen folds like an accordion.

NORMAN, OKLA. – West Virginia is facing 16th-ranked Oklahoma today in the Big 12 Conference lid lifter for both teams at Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. and FOX (Gus Johnson, Charles Davis and Kristina Pink) will be televising the game nationally.
The Mountaineer Sports Network from IMG's coverage begins with the Mountaineer Tailgate Show at 3:30 p.m. Tony Caridi, Dwight Wallace and Jed Drenning will handle the game broadcast, while studio host Jeff Culhane will take care of the pre- and post-game coverage.
This evening's game will be the sixth meeting between the two schools.
Here is today's Countdown to Kickoff:
10 – Last season, Oklahoma had NCAA Top TEN rankings in first downs (ninth), passing yards (fifth), third down offense (fourth), kickoff return average (seventh) and punt return average (eighth).
9 – Dana Holgorsen's Mountaineer offense has produced at least 40 points in NINE out of the 27 games he coached at WVU so far.
8 – EIGHT Mountaineer players were first-time starters last Saturday against William & Mary: Mark Glowinski (OG), Brandon Golson (OLB), Marquis Lucas (OG), Paul Millard (QB), KJ Myers (WR), Tyler Orlosky (C), Charles Sims (RB) and Dreamius Smith (RB).
7 – The Mountaineers have SEVEN players that have appeared in more than 30 games during their college careers: Darwin Cook (39), Doug Rigg (38), Tyler Anderson (37), Brodrick Jenkins (37), Ivan McCartney (34), Will Clarke (30) and Pat Eger (30).
6 – West Virginia has scored SIX defensive touchdowns under Holgorsen - two in 2012 and four in 2011.
5 – Oklahoma has lost just FIVE times in 87 games at Memorial Stadium under Coach Bob Stoops. Two of those losses came last year to Kansas State and Notre Dame.
4 – West Virginia is making its FOURTH trip to Memorial Stadium to face Oklahoma. The Sooners defeated the Mountaineers 47-14 in 1959 and 52-10 in 1978. West Virginia defeated Oklahoma 41-27 in 1982.
3 – Oklahoma has won THREE times against West Virginia in five all-time meetings, including last year's 50-49 decision in Morgantown.
2 – Oklahoma freshman quarterback Trevor Knight will be making his SECOND career start for the Sooners today. Knight was 11-of-28 for 86 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in the Sooners' season opener against Louisiana-Monroe last Saturday.
1 – The Mountaineer offense had just ONE play of 20 yards or longer against William & Mary last Saturday – Ronald Carswell's 69-yard touchdown reception.
Enjoy the game and be sure to stop back afterward for complete postgame coverage.

Our home is two stories with a Dutch style Mansard type roof and open gable ends. For whatever reason, access from outside to the basement was not built on the gable end, rather, put on the side where the roof comes down to the first floor ceiling. The doorway entrance has a two foot extension with a regular Bilco metal door attached.
In late fall 2008, we installed a secondary wood heating system to supplement the oil hot air heat. The only easy access to the basement is compromised during precipitation days, with both rain coming off the roof and/or snow piled up on the door, creating slippery steps when bringing wood into the basement.
I would like to build some sort of roof shelter onto the existing roof to extend out at least over the opening to the basement. I really don't know what would look like it belonged there and still provide somewhat dry access to the basement. Any ideas would be welcomed.
I've found this picture as the best which shows the bulkhead unit on the right side of the photo and what sort of problems occur at present. /Users/gerardpeterson/Desktop/100_0098.JPG

Inpatient or Outpatient Treatment
Residential Inpatient treatment in Strafford County usually consists of 24 hour care at a live-in facility. Full treatment services, including medical and behavioral therapy are provided all at one location near Strafford County.
Medical supervision is generally placed over each resident. In drug treatment centers, clients can detox safely. In eating disorder centers in Strafford County, residential programs enable effective monitoring of the client's health during the treatment program.
Inpatient care offers a structured atmosphere and allows the client and providers to focus on physical and psychological healing.
Outpatient treatment programs in Strafford County or clinics provide flexibility to those who are unable to take time away from their regular lives, work or school. Programs typically meet at the clinic a couple of times every week for a few hours at a time.
Because clients are living away from the centers, outpatient facilities in Strafford County are less able to focus on medical conditions and nutritional needs.
Certain programs provide a combination of the in/out approach: Inpatient for medical stabilization, partial hospitalization for moderate cases, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient clinics for follow-up.
Treatment Type
* How much can you afford? Generally, Strafford County outpatient treatment is cheaper than inpatient treatment because housing is not provided and fewer hours of treatment (and often fewer therapy alternatives) are offered.
* Are you able to control your behaviors? Inpatient treatment provides constant supervision to offset the temptation of drugs or eating disordered behavior in the early stages of treatment.
* Follow-up support network near Strafford County? If you do decide to attend inpatient treatment, look for a center that can offer you or direct you to another service where you will be provided with follow-up care after you leave in an effort to avoid relapse.
* Is your condition severe? Constant medical attention is given to those in inpatient care, which may be especially important for those with pain and eating disorders.

Ashton Moore knocked down a 3-pointer to pull The Citadel to within four points of Southern Conference leader Davidson, then shook his head as if in disbelief as his fellow cadets roared.
This was how Citadel basketball should be more often. Citadel cadets, called out by a local columnist last week, turned out at McAlister Field House by the hundreds Monday night, their biggest showing by far in a long, losing season.
And they made a difference, the Bulldogs rallying not once but twice against the SoCon's best team. The Citadel cut a 17-point deficit to two, then rallied again from 17 down to within five in the final seconds.
Davidson, led by 21 points from De'Mon Brooks, held on for an 83-76 victory before 1,582 fans, extending the Bulldogs' losing streak to 16 straight games despite a career-best 35 points from Moore.
The skid matches the longest single-season losing streak in Citadel history, set by the 1952-53 team.
"We're not so much worried about the losing streak," said Moore, whose 35 points were the most by a Bulldog since 1995. "The way we are playing, we know we'll eventually get a win. That's all we're thinking about."
Monday night's effort might have been good enough to beat a few SoCon teams. But not Davidson (16-11, 12-1), which won its ninth straight behind 11-of-21 shooting from 3-point range.
Guards Brian Sullivan and Tom Droney each scored 15 for the Wildcats, who have made at least 10 3-pointers in four straight games and six of the last eight. Tyler Kalinoski and Jack Gibbs scored 13 each to give Davidson five players in double figures.
Moore, who hit 11 of 19 from the field and 4 of 7 from 3-point range, did not have the same kind of support. One reason was an elbow to the head that Matt Van Scyoc took midway through the first half. A stunned Van Scyoc, the Bulldogs' top scorer, left the game and did not return until the second half, playing only 17 minutes with two points.
"I think that hurt a lot, and that's kind of been the story of our season," Citadel coach Chuck Driesell said. "We had a great performance from Ashton, but he can't do it by himself. If we could get two or three guys to step up and play really well in a game . but that hasn't really happened for us all season long. We didn't need Matt to play great tonight, just average, but he didn't get a chance to do that."
Driesell noted the cadet turnout, giving the Bulldogs their second-largest home crowd of the season.
"A huge difference," Driesell said. "I thank those guys for coming out. Anyone could see we had a little hop in our step and a little pump, and I hope they will come out for the remaining two home games."
"I've always been told the homecourt should be worth 10 points, and I thought we had eight or nine tonight. It was awesome."
The crowd could not prevent the Bulldogs from falling behind big early - 22-5 after nine minutes - as they've done so often this season. They climbed back to within 34-28 at the half and to within 46-44 with 12:33 left when Moore followed his head-shaking trey with two free throws.
Davidson responded quickly with a 3-pointer from Gibbs and two from Kalinoski to stretch the lead back to 17. But the Bulldogs got it back down to single digits in the final minute. Davidson closed it out with 7 of 8 free throws in the final 33 seconds.
"They have a lot of grit and toughness about them, having gone through so much adversity," Driesell said of his players. "I don't think they have any quit in them. They knew they'd have to play well tonight to have a chance to win this game, and they did."

Can we specify width for individual columns in column definition? I tried giving width in definition this way:
_SearchColumns = [{
field: "docId",
title: "DOC ID",
width: "100px"
field: "docType",
title: "DOC TYPE",
width: "80px"
But, it is working only when i give scrollable true. I dont want to give scrollable true. Just want to adjust the column widths as there are so many columns in the grid.Also when the width is getting applied, the text is getting cropped. Is there any option to resize the column so that the text becomes visible? Please suggest.
Hi Khushali,
Column widths may be ignored due to two reasons:
1) incorrect configuration, e.g. the sum of all column widths is smaller than the width of the Grid. In such cases it is good to leave one column without a width, so that it expands as much as needed;
2) the column content is too large to fit in the specified width;
Enabling Grid scrolling applies a table-layout:fixed style to the table elements, which enforces the column widths even in case (2) above. However, you can't make the columns expand automatically in this scenario - this is possible only in auto table layout.

Hi Dimo,
I have not given width right now to the grid or to the div in which the grid is getting created. But still it is not taking widths. For time being i have just given overflow:auto to the grid div and a max-width. But doing that way, the pager css is not coming properly. What can i do in this case?
Hello Khushali,
It doesn't matter whether you set width to the Grid or not - it still occupies some space.
Since I cannot fully understand what the problem is, I suggest you to provide a runnable web page for me to test locally.

When these two teams had met earlier in the season, it was the White Sox not the Red Sox, that walked out of Fenway confident. Ozzie's crew had embarassed what was a Red Sox team that was starting to find their groove, and sweeping them.
Since then these two teams have gone in opposite directions, The Red Sox have the best record in the league at 64-39. While the White Sox have hit a downward spiral and are now sitting below .500 at 51-52.
It seems that White Sox manager is starting to lose his team. Which has been filled with promise, but are resulting with busts. Adam Dunn being the most notable of this. Dunn has been putrid. Hitting .163 for the White Sox since signing that big money contract. Alex Rios has put on another disappearing act. Their pitching hasn't been great either, if it's not their starters, it's their bullpen that's been imploding.
On the other side of the coin, the Red Sox have come in with one of the strongest lineups in the bigs and only look like they are getting stronger. Though, hiccuping against Kansas City and splitting the series. After things like this the Red Sox respond in huge ways, typically by blowing opposing teams pitching off the mound. Their rotation, though battered and bruised; has maintained to be stable. The bullpen still remains to be a question, and it has looked like there's some stability coming out of there as well with reliever Alfredo Aceves being called upon to get key outs in big innings and has pulled through for Manager Terry Francona.
I don't believe the Sox have a "revenge" mindset coming into US Cellular Field, just a one game at a time mentality that has been executed so well throughout the season. That's what they need to do to get through a struggling White Sox team and keep the lead in the AL East.

My friends and I went to Reef Caribbean on Tuesday night. We went because they offer bachata and salsa classes (advertised as both lessons for $12 and either one of the two for $5). We sat at the bar and had drinks, our bartender was great; very sweet, friendly and accomodating. Our food was adequate but not what you expect from Carribbean cuisine. We ate and drank waiting for our lesson. When time approached we started to go upstairs, the lady waiting to take our money was the cherry on the already non-appealing cake! She was extremly rude, she acted like we were trying to get in for free. We didn't realize that it was $12 even if you only wanted to learn bachata, instead of both. Instead of explaining this to us like a normal person she acted like we were not good enough to be there! This after we spent $70 on food and drink on a TUES night! We complained to the manager of this establishment, he agreed we were treated badly but by the woman but did not offer any type of courtesy! I have waitressed for many years and I know that businesses do not succeed when they operate like this, especially when the food isn't good!

The caribbean atmosphare is great, - bartenders, servers and hostess great.......come enjoy the jerk salmon and curried mussel (must have) my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Posted by AngieBee on 01/22/2008
While the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing for the most part, the food was overcooked and did not mirror the menu description. Moreover, the service was poor. The oxtail entree was supposed to have come with butter beans (emphasizing the plural of bean), so I was surprised to find a grand total of 1 bean on my plate. The rice and peas was dry and tasteless, and there wasn't enough gravy from the oxtails to saturate it and improve the flavor. The plantains were extremely overcooked, dry, and just hard and seemed to have been left over from a previous night. My party and I waited 30 minutes for our food, and the waiter, who in all fairness was new, had to be reminded of our beverage orders three times, only to later tell us that they did not have what we had ordered. When we requested the bill, which we intended to pay in part with a $25 dining certificate purchased from a well known and widely used dining website, the manager initially refused to honor the entire certificate amount and instead offered to redeem the purchased certificate (quite different from a printed free coupon which she mistakenly assumed and argued with me that it was) for $10. After a short debate, she relented and redeemed the certificate for the full purchase amount. There was a birthday party being held on the 2nd floor and amazingly, the sound system was the same for both floors, which meant that when one of the party attendants used the microphone to extend personal birthday wishes and sentiments, everyone on the first floor got to hear it as well. The ceiling and light fixtures literally shook when the party attendants did the Cha-Cha and Electric slide. I'd been looking forward to trying this restaurant for quite some time, however, after my experience, I would not return even if someone else was paying the bill.

It's nice of Waddington to weigh in with a copy/paste bit on Dawdy, but Grrlyfern is right. The Times Picayune spends tons of column inches everytime a Tulane faculty or administrator farts. UNO's an afterthought at best. What a shame our hometown paper can't remember there's a highly productive, research university bearing the city's name. It would help I suppose if our alumni ate at the same private club or rode in the same old line krewe as the Phelpses.
And God help me, the TP actually is one of the best city dailies in operation. But it's still got an elitist blind spot.
Presumably the sentence is high not for breaking into cars, but for the escape attempt that included driving 80 mph against traffic in the dark with no lights on. Even so, 24 years is hard to fathom. But no one should pretend that the sentence is for breaking into a few cars.
We all benefit by the use of tax dollars one way or another. So, we should do door to door drug testing, on everyone. While they're at your door, asking for your urine or hair, they should have a good look around your house, just for convenience. You might have something illegal, or dangerous, in there. Better to find out now, before we spend tax money subsidizing your hospital visit.
We're all driving on tax-supported roads, with state-issued licenses, so let's just go ahead and make drug and alcohol testing part of getting a license.
And since lots of kids to to public, tax-supported schools, let's start alcohol-testing all pregnant women to make sure they don't deliver babies with alcohol syndrome, and while we're in the womb, let's do some DNA testing. Maybe we can head off the costs of paying for special needs kids with our tax dollars.
The mayor never has to deal with roped off encampments, rows of folding chairs and linked sections of ladders. He's been very comfortably ensconced at Gallier Hall - and as the child of a politician, I bet he's watched Mardi
Gras from that lofty perch for many years.
Thank you for being courteous. I don't have any problem with people arriving early and sitting while they wait. But leaving the tents and chairs to block yards of space where others should be able to stand is the problem. You set a great example!
You don't have "a spot." Your spot is the space under your feet. What I'll do is show up and walk where ever I want, which includes right over your tarp, your ropes, your chairs. Those things are illegally on public property, space that we all share. You're not homesteading, you're watching a parade. Make it safe and secure by respecting everyone else along the street.
Cop1070, you ARE the problem.
I have a job. I can't spend days sitting on a parade route waiting for a three-hour parade event. Deal with the crowds, because that's what carnival is - crowds along a route. You and your chairs are ruining it for everyone.
You are absolutely correct about the chairs. People sit up near the curb in a couple of rows of chairs. When the parades come, they get up and stand to watch. Behind them are the rows of chairs they don't take a moment to fold up and toss aside. So there are a few rows of people, backed by a few rows of their chairs, and a bunch of other people who didn't spend all day sitting and waiting for a weeknight parade, who are unable to even see the floats, much less catch any throws. It's selfish, rude and illegal.
The city doesn't do anything about it because the mayor and council members watch in the comfort of Gallier Hall stands and they don't know nor care what goes on in the neutral grounds.
What is this? This is news? Public relations? Paid advertisement? WTH, Times-Picayune????
The folding chairs are the worst. People set up rows and rows of portable chairs on the neutral ground, right up to the edge of the street, and then leave them there when the parade comes. It should be easy for several rows of people to stand along the parade route, but with the rows of chairs, only the chair occupants get anywhere close to the parade. I wish they'd send the garbage truck down at the front of the parade, picking up chairs and tossing them in the truck.
The editorial opines that "In hindsight, the lack of federal oversight allowed the erosion of the reforms begun by Mr. Pennington." Surely not. Surely the lack of local will, accountability and oversight, the lack of honor and determination in our own local government and the NOPD adminstration, allowed the erosion of reforms. The federal government is not responsible for law and order in the streets, police department, courts and jails of New Orleans. The voters of New Orleans, the mayor, police superintendent, sheriff, judges, district attorney, all officers of the court, and coroner are responsible.
Don't be obtuse. The article recounts accusations that cops served a search warrant, searched an adjacent location not on the warrant, and justified it by lying and saying its door was open and they could see drugs inside it. It recounts accusations that the cops then took things from those two locations - safes - that did not appear on their evidence list and have disappeared. Anyone with a junior high reading level can understand the article.
I'm a liberal, opinionated, gay woman, and I love the First Amendment. I don't need to be protected from someone expressing hate. That's no crime. It's much more threatening to my security for our society to become complacent about free speech. Don't trust any government to decide whose speech is good and whose is bad.
I imagine there was a first time that one of these officers decided to see what else a suspect had around that wasn't on the warrant and wouldn't be missed in the investigation. But I bet THIS wasn't that first time. It will be interesting to see if, after this, some other cases come up on appeal. No one should trust criminals to investigate criminals. The integrity of our police is just another casualty of the useless drug war.
Just curious - what happens in a "gutterpunk outbreak"?
Wait! Where'd the can go? And where'd that ball come from? When did we get off the road and onto a court?
Will this apply to legislators, governors and lt. governors and other elected officials? To the staff of elected officials? If not, remind yourself of that the next time you vote for a "small government" candidate.
Mr. Glapion, I sincerely want to see NORD return to the role it played in my teens and young adulthood in New Orleans, and I wish you and your board the best of luck in accomplishing that.
But you must achieve it through accountable, democratic means, and you must follow the laws governing public board meetings. And sir, when you admonish journalists that they should not report on infractions committed by you and your board, and instruct them instead to "be positive with their pen" you show a deep animus toward the foundations of our nation, our state and our city, and the rights of citizens to be informed about the work of their government and use of their tax dollars. In my opinion, that makes you unfit for public office of any kind. Shame on you.
So, Disney is an example of bad economic management? That's news to me.

The Cancer Prevention Study-3 is a grass-roots effort in which communities across the country support cancer research by participating in a research study. The purpose of the study is to better understand the lifestyle, behavioral, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer, and ultimately to eliminate cancer.
Men and women ages 30 to 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer are eligible to participate. Local enrollment is being made possible in partnership with MedStar Montgomery Medical Center in Olney.
Initial enrollment requires completion of an online survey and an appointment. Enrollment will take place from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Nov. 7 and from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Nov. 9 at the hospital's community learning center, 18101 Prince Phillip Drive, Olney.
Following enrollment, participants will periodically receive mailed surveys at home every few years to update information.
