Household Furniture
Household furniture, much of it ready-to-assemble (RTA) for easy transporting, fills a need for attractive, lightweight, conveniently stored tables, chairs and stools for informal living and entertaining.
With plated steel legs, padded seats, colored or woodgrain vinyl tops and styles to go with any home decorating plan, these pieces can become a permanent household item or, if space demands, can be stored and used only when needed.
Generally, household furniture frames are made of tubular steel with one of three finishes (in order of durability)-chrome plated, brass plated or painted. Legs should be capped with rubber or plastic tips or plastic glides. Tabletops or shelves many have woodgrain metal finishes or colorful, washable, stain-resistant coverings. Chair seats and backrests can be padded with foam rubber or wood fiber and covered with washable vinyl or an easy-care fabric.
Some chairs have Y-fold structure, like that of card-table chairs. Quality chairs, however, look like living room or family-room chairs when set up. Seats are about 16" square and 17" to 18" from the floor. With either construction, chairs nest for storage.
Tables formerly were braced, but now many are made of painted tubular steel with leg locks and vinyl tips or glides and stain-resistant vinyl tops. Better tables are 40" in diameter or 35" square, 27-1/2" or 28" high.
Tray tables have tubular steel legs that are usually chrome or brass finish with rubber or vinyl tips if legs are straight; tips are not necessary if legs are formed in a "U" shape from a single continuous piece of tubing.
Tops vary in size and shape, but most are made of painted steel or fiberglass. Better models have fabric-in-fiberglass and woodgrain patterns.
All units fold for storage, and more expensive sets come in wheeled storage racks. Some high-end table sets are made of wood, with natural wood finishes.
The difference between utility tables and serving carts is that tables are multi-shelved for storage and have small casters. The carts have a more decorative finish, handles and large casters or rubber-tired wheels.
Shelf surfaces of utility tables are normally steel painted in kitchen colors. Better models have larger, stronger shelves, stronger chrome-plated tubular steel legs and frequently have built-in electrical outlets.
Shelves of serving carts can be removed to be used as trays. Some carts have drop leaves or other adjustments to convert them to buffet carts. Better carts have woodgrain shelves and brass-finished frames or enameled finish.
Serving carts are versatile and may double as bookshelves or plant stands. Many utility and serving carts will fold down neatly for compact storage.
No matter what particular use the stool has, tubular steel legs will have chrome, brass or painted finish, be spread at the base for stability and capped with plastic tips or glides to protect floors. Occasionally, frames are made of lightweight wrought iron. Seats and backs are padded and vinyl covered in decorator colors. Some lines are made of fiberglass, wood or rattan and better models have leather seat pads.
Step stools are a combination of a two-step ladder and a kitchen stool. The two steps provide enough lift to reach high cabinets, shelves or curtain rods, and chair seat is right height for sit-down ironing or working at kitchen bar or sink.
With some stools, seat lifts up for access to the steps, while on other models steps swing out. Those with swing-out steps must be designed so that steps stay in place under seat when stool is moved.
Most step stools have a backrest, which serves a dual purpose-support and comfort when used as a chair and as a steadying device when used as a small ladder.
Most models fold up for compact storing.
Bar and counter stools are generally used at breakfast or basement bars. Normal seat height is 17" or 24" for breakfast bars and 30" for basement bars. Better pedestal stools adjust to various heights to suit specific needs.
Most models have backrests and footrests (usually chrome plated) for comfort, with adjustable footrests on better stools. Almost all have swivel seats, better ones with nylon or ball bearings. Promotional lines frequently have unstable rotation devices.
The most important feature of a bath stool is strength and a widespread base to reduce danger of tipping. Legs have chrome, brass or painted surfaces and should be capped with rubber or plastic tips. Frame construction may be wire or steel tubing, but tubing is stronger.
Upholstery must be durable and water resistant, preferably washable vinyl. Styling varies from modern round stools to stools with backs and vanity types.
Some of the most popular juvenile furniture resembles adult furniture, just down-sized. But unlike its adult counterpart, special quality features are a must in juvenile furniture. Durability, for instance, is of major concern. Safety is another. Highchairs, tables, baby furniture, dressers and desks must be able to take the abuse a young child can dish out. Check for doweled joints on baby furniture made of hardwood.
When buying highchairs, cribs and security gates, make sure bars are spaced so that the child cannot get his/her head wedged between them.
Easy cleanup is another consideration with juvenile furniture. Food, paint, crayons and other materials should not stain the furniture's finish.
Car seats are becoming hot items, partly through growing public concern over traffic safety and partly because most states have made them mandatory for children under a certain age or size.
Quality features in baby and toddler car seats include heavy padding, water and stain-proof covering, easy belt attachment and detachment and sturdy construction that will withstand severe impact. Higher-end seats will usually be adjustable to fit a growing child, so the parent does not have to buy several car seats as the child gets bigger.
Booster chairs or seats are legal in some states for toddlers. The booster seat allows the child to use the regular seat belt by boosting his height so the belt fits in the correct position. Check your state's regulations pertaining to car seats.
Seats should not have decorations or accessories protruding from them that might injure a child in an accident.
Check your state and local codes before starting any project. Follow all safety precautions.

Food fights, are they fun or are they dangerous? They are fun if playful and they are dangerous if they turn into an all-out brawl like what occurred at South High School, when the school divided along race and religion lines:
A food fight quickly turned into a brawl involving hundreds of students at a Minneapolis high school on Thursday, forcing police to use chemical spray to break up the melee. Students are saying the melee was the result of tensions between 8 percent of students who are Somali Muslims and the 20 percent who are African Americans.
"I know it's a pride thing between Muslims and black people," student Symone Glasker said. "They want their pride back for something. I don't know."
Four people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries, including a staff member who was hit in the head with a bottle, according to the school and police.
The 15-minute fracas broke out during lunchtime at South High School. No weapons were used, but about 200 to 300 students were involved, Minneapolis police spokesman Sgt. Bill Palmer said.
Stan Alleyne, the Minneapolis Public Schools chief of communications, praised the school's diversity following the incident.
"South is a very diverse high school…It is a microcosm of the city. Students function together at a high level every day. That is the strength of this school. Our students live diversity every day," he said.
Stan, you may want to stop dividing the school along diversity lines. Can we not think of everyone as Americans?

This series, an outstanding example of the traditional approach to the Halakhah, deals with the application of Jewish law to contemporary social, political, technological and religious problems. Chapters in these volumes are devoted to questions of personal and social status, the State of Israel the Sabbath and Holy Days, medical Halakhah, education and business law. Major issues such as assisted procreation, abortion, fetal tissue research, the agunah problem, intermarriage, conversion, the role of the Bet Din, capital punishment, preemptive warfare and many, many more are analyzed in detail. many of these topics have been matters of heated controversy within the Jewish community. The author, a distinguished talmudic scholar and halakhist, has culled relevant material from the vast responsa literature. He examines each question by carefully delineating the issues, showing the various positions taken by rabbinic scholars, clarifying areas of divergence and analyzing the reasons for disagreement. This work is an invaluable source book for all students of traditional Jewish law and practice. by J. David Bleich

text: If there is one piece of advice I could give people getting out of High School and heading toward College, it would be to take a year off and have fun. Not like go crazy, but just get out, take road trips, don't be in such a hurry to enter the job market. Because once you are in it, you are stuck for a good long time, usually.

Senegalese soldiers load bags onto a truck , at the Captain Moussa... ニュース写真セネガル,ダカール,バッグ,マリ,マリ北部紛争 - 2012-2013年,兵士,政治,横長,立ち去る,軍事,陸軍Photographer AFPCollection: AFP 2013 AFPSenegalese soldiers load bags onto a truck , at the Captain Moussa Dioum military camp of Bargny, near Dakar, on February 2, 2013, before leaving for Mali as part of the second contingent of Senegalese troops to back Malian forces. French President Francois Hollande received a rapturous welcome in Mali on Saturday as he promised that France would stay as long as necessary to continue the fight against Islamist rebels in the country's north. As troops worked to secure Kidal, the last bastion of radicals who occupied the vast desert north for 10 months before the French army's surprise intervention, Hollande told Malians it was time for Africans to take the lead but that France would not abandon them.

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie Warby Max Brooks
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Now a major motion picture
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.
Ranging from the now infamous village of New Dachang in the United Federation of China, where the epidemiological trail began with the twelve-year-old Patient Zero, to the unnamed northern forests where untold numbers sought a terrible and temporary refuge in the cold, to the United States of Southern Africa, where the Redeker Plan provided hope for humanity at an unspeakable price, to the west-of-the-Rockies redoubt where the North American tide finally started to turn, this invaluable chronicle reflects the full scope and duration of the Zombie War.
Most of all, the book captures with haunting immediacy the human dimension of this epochal event. Facing the often raw and vivid nature of these personal accounts requires a degree of courage on the part of the reader, but the effort is invaluable because, as Mr. Brooks says in his introduction, "By excluding the human factor, aren't we risking the kind of personal detachment from history that may, heaven forbid, lead us one day to repeat it? And in the end, isn't the human factor the only true difference between us and the enemy we now refer to as 'the living dead'?"
Note: Some of the numerical and factual material contained in this edition was previously published under the auspices of the United Nations Postwar Commission.
Eyewitness reports from the first truly global war:
"I found 'Patient Zero' behind the locked door of an abandoned apartment across town. . . . His wrists and feet were bound with plastic packing twine. Although he'd rubbed off the skin around his bonds, there was no blood. There was also no blood on his other wounds. . . . He was writhing like an animal; a gag muffled his growls. At first the villagers tried to hold me back. They warned me not to touch him, that he was 'cursed.' I shrugged them off and reached for my mask and gloves. The boy's skin was . . . cold and gray . . . I could find neither his heartbeat nor his pulse." —Dr. Kwang Jingshu, Greater Chongqing, United Federation of China
"'Shock and Awe'? Perfect name. . . . But what if the enemy can't be shocked and awed? Not just won't, but biologically can't! That's what happened that day outside New York City, that's the failure that almost lost us the whole damn war. The fact that we couldn't shock and awe Zack boomeranged right back in our faces and actually allowed Zack to shock and awe us! They're not afraid! No matter what we do, no matter how many we kill, they will never, ever be afraid!" —Todd Wainio, former U.S. Army infantryman and veteran of the Battle of Yonkers
"Two hundred million zombies. Who can even visualize that type of number, let alone combat it? . . . For the first time in history, we faced an enemy that was actively waging total war. They had no limits of endurance. They would never negotiate, never surrender. They would fight until the very end because, unlike us, every single one of them, every second of every day, was devoted to consuming all life on Earth." —General Travis D'Ambrosia, Supreme Allied Commander, Europe
"An 'oral history' of the global war the evil brain-chewers came within a hair of winning. Zombies are among us—turn on your television if you don't believe it. But, Brooks reassures us, even today, human fighters are hunting down the leftovers, and we're winning. [His] iron-jaw narrative is studded with practical advice on what to do when the zombies come, as they surely will. A literate, ironic, strangely tasty treat." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Possesses more creativity and zip than entire crates of other new fiction titles. Think Mad Max meets The Hot Zone....It's Apocalypse Now, pandemic-style. Creepy but fascinating." USA Today
"Prepare to be entranced by this addictively readable oral history of the great war between humans and zombies....Will grab you as tightly as a dead man's fist." Entertainment Weekly, EW Pick
"Probably the most topical and literate scare since Orson Welles' War of the Worlds radio broadcast....This is action-packed social-political satire with a global view." Dallas Morning News
"Brooks [is] America's most prominent maven on the living dead....Chilling....It is gripping reading and a scathing indictment of weak responses to crises real and over-hyped." Hartford Courant
"A sober, frequently horrifying and even moving account....Brooks has delivered a full-blown horror novel, laced with sharp social and political observations and loads of macabre, gruesome imagery....The real horror of World War Z comes from the all-too-plausible responses of human beings and governments to the menace." Fangoria
"A horror fan's version of Studs Terkel's The Good War....Like George Romero's Dead trilogy, World War Z is another milestone in the zombie mythology."
"Brooks commits to detail in a way that makes his nightmare world creepily plausible....Far more affecting than anything involving zombies really has any right to be....The book...opens in blood and guts, turns the world into an oversized version of hell, then ends with and affirmation of humanity's ability to survive the worst the world has to offer. It feels like the right book for the right times, and that's the eeriest detail of all." A.V. Club, The Onion
"This infectious and compelling book will have nervous readers watching the streets for zombies. Recommended." Library Journal
About the Author
Max Brooks's previous book, The Zombie Survival Guide, formed the core of the world's civilian survival manuals during the Zombie War. Mr. Brooks subsequently spent years traveling to every part of the globe in order to conduct the face-to-face interviews that have been incorporated into this present publication.

Archives For: June 2011
Carl Hild given award for research, scholarship, and creativity06/29/2011
Saybrook alumnus Carl M. Hild was awarded the 2010-2011 Alaska Pacific University Faculty Merit Award for Research, Scholarship, and Creativity.
Hild, Organizational Systems '07, is Director of the Health Services Administration Program at Alaska Pacific University, and Chair of its Business Administration Department for the 2011-2012 academic year.
He has worked closely with native healers and hospital administrators to develop the health care system in a state with a large indigenous population, where many remote villages are not accessible by road. By combining the traditional and the modern elements of health care, he has helped develop systems of care that often surpass those available in the lower 48 states.
Bob Flax Elected to Board of Directors of the Democratic World Federalists06/29/2011
Saybrook alumnus and faculty member Bob Flax, Ph.D.. '92, was recently elected to the Board of Directors of the Democratic World Federalists, a non-profit organization based in San Francisco. The DWF is one of a number of organizations around the world that is dedicated to establishing a democratically elected world government with a constitution and bill of rights that is capable of handling the great problems of our time -- including climate change, economic crises, famines, pandemics, poverty, and war.
Bob's interest in world government grew out of his work as a clinical psychologist treating individuals, couples, families, and groups. He expanded his focus to include larger systems and studied organization development and conflict resolution. He has worked in a wide range of settings, including businesses, non-profits, intentional communities, and over 16 years with the California State Prison system. Finally he arrived at the next logical step – the way we work together as citizens of the world.
Bob has participated in international citizen diplomacy projects and is currently designing a course in World Federalism for Saybrook University, where he has been on the faculty for over 18 years. Bob teaches courses in the Social Transformation, Psychology and Research areas and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Alumna Ann Williams says give the disabled access to research studies06/29/2011
Saybrook Alumna Ann Williams, PhD '05, has Co-Authored an article in Science Translational Medicine calling for an end to the practice of barring people with physical disabilities from participating in some research studies.
In her article Practicing and Implementing Changes Through CWRU's Federally-Funded FIND Lab, she asks researchers "to rethink participation criteria that exclude people with sight, hearing or mobility problems, or other disabilities."
The Graduate College of Psychology and Humanistic Studies welcomes you06/27/2011
Welcome to all who seek to explore what it means to be human in the 21st century and who desire a person centered or humanistic education that values our relationship with each other and the planet. Our goal is to support personal and cultural transformation that leads to the co-creation of a genuinely just, humane and sustainable future. Together with our faculty, students, alumni, and staff I invite you to join our community of scholar-practitioners.
Originally founded as the Humanistic Psychology Institute in 1971, and known for more than three decades as Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center, the College of Psychology and Humanistic Studies has been the world's premier educational institution dedicated to humanistic scholarship for nearly 40 years. It has been the intellectual home for generations of scholars who sought to make a difference in the world through practice, and for practitioners who sought to take their work to the next level through education.
This college we fondly call PHS is the holder of the legacy that sources the mission and values of Saybrook University and all its colleges. Its faculty can trace their roots directly to the thought leaders who created the humanistic tradition – in humanistic psychology, in human science, in mind-body medicine, and in organizational systems and leadership. Our faculty are first generation offspring of these titans of the humanistic tradition who in turn have shaped the second and third generations of this tradition's leaders. These three generations of humanistic scholars are now educating the next generation of humanistic scholars and practitioners who are needed now, more than ever before, to effect a transformation in the values that drive our society and culture.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Governor LePage and Education Commissioner Stephen Bowen released Maine's first school "report cards." Almost every school in the state received a grade from A-F. Schools that only serve grades K-3 and those with small numbers of students were not included.
A to F: See how your school fared.
40 percent of a high school's grade is based on the percentage of students who were rated "proficient" or above on the SATs. Another 40 percent comes from the extent to which the 3 year average score on the SAT improves from the previous three years, and 20 percent comes from the 4 and 5 year graduation rates of the schools.
Superintendents received their grades Monday, and many were already complaining about the scoring system, saying it is not indexed for poverty or the percentage of students in the school system who are learning English as a second language. Critics also complain that by focusing exclusively on Math and Reading, the grades do not take into account students' work in science, the arts and writing.
The Maine Education Association, Maine's teacher's union, also released an analysis of the grades which shows a strong correlation between the percentage of students who receive free or reduced priced lunch and their grades. According to the MEA, 88 percent of the elementary schools receiving a grade of F had more than half of their students eligible for free and reduced priced lunch. High schools receiving A grades had an average of 9 percent of students who were eligible for free and reduced priced lunch. The average percentage of students eligible for free and reduced priced lunch in high schools receiving Fs was 61 percent. Eligibility for free and reduced priced lunch is often used as a measure of poverty.
Maine's Commissioner of Education said these grades were not meant to be the beginning and end of the conversation over how schools are doing. They are simply meant to be conversation starters. He said the state chose the grading system it did because that's the best data the state has at the moment. He expects to expand on the system in future years.
The Department of Education also directed people who want to learn more about their schools to its Data Warehouse. There you can compare school data and find other statistics about schools in the state. You also can get there through the Department of Education's website.

Happily Exhausted
President Schall
Our Past Presidents
by Lawrence Schall
At an Oglethorpe University alumni
reception the other night (my second of four
such gatherings in four cities in eight days),
the gentleman who introduced me noted that he
had graduated 50 years ago but it seemed like
yesterday. I am not sure what demon took over
my voice when I came to the podium, but I
started my talk by telling everyone I began my
presidency four months ago, but it seemed like
50 years.
I got a big laugh. I think they thought I
was kidding. I have now passed my five-month
anniversary and it still feels like 50 years; I
guess that's progress.
Just a couple of years ago, after spending
more than a decade as vice president of
administration at Swarthmore College, I decided
that being president of a small liberal-arts
college might be an interesting position to
I knew a fair number of college presidents
casually and one very well, Alfred Bloom, my
president at Swarthmore. I could not have
admired Al more, as a person and a president.
He was always (and I mean always) excited about
the mission of the college, and he actually
moved that venerable place toward a new vision,
in large part his vision. He occasionally
seemed tired and his schedule was hectic, but
he genuinely seemed to love what he did every
day, and every day he made a difference in
people's lives.
I entered my first search for a presidency
on a whim, so much so that I figured I didn't
need to share the venture with my wife. I was
stunned when I got an interview (and of course,
so was she).
When I was offered the position a few months
later, we weren't convinced that the time or
the place was right, so we let the opportunity
pass. From what I can tell, that college found
a great president and is doing swimmingly.
In fact, the handful of us who were
finalists back then in one presidential search
or another -- all looking for the right place
and the right time -- seem to have landed
fortuitously, and we meet a couple of times a
year at one conference of presidents or another
and share stories. I could write a book on the
search process (and probably will when I
retire) but now I've got my hands full.
I began work at Oglethorpe on June 23, 2005,
although work really started for me the minute
my appointment there was announced. I now
belonged to a new community, and everything I
did (or didn't do) mattered in a way that it
had never mattered before.
I could pretty much end this right here. In
a nutshell, that's the life of a president, or
at least the presidency as I know it. And
that's why I love what I have been doing --
because everything I do matters to someone.
And that's also precisely why it's
impossible to have any sense beforehand of what
it's like to try to do this job. I can tell you
(because I'm sure my board chair doesn't read
The Chronicle regularly) that I had no idea.
As president, every call you make matters,
every note you write matters, every person you
talk to matters, every meal you eat matters,
every word you say matters. And every call you
don't make, every note you don't write, . . .
that all matters, too.
Every once in a while, I get exhausted from
14-hour days stacked up one after another and
think to myself, What could it hurt to miss
this next event, have someone go in my place,
not make that trip to see a potential new
friend of the college, leave the theater
performance early?
So far, I have hauled myself up off the
floor and gone to every thing I could, and
every time, I return knowing I made the right
call. In fact, without exception, I arrive home
late at night totally energized by my
interaction with a student, a faculty member,
or a trustee I met.
I sort of wish one of those ventures would
turn out to be a disaster, so I could justify
the idea of going home at a decent hour. Maybe
in another 50 years.
I guess being oblivious to the demands of
the job was a good thing, as I never would have
believed I could be this happy working this
It probably helps that I have avoided trying
to act "presidential" and concentrated on being
myself. The job is simply so consuming that if
you spent a lot of time trying to act in some
unnatural way, I think you would collapse in a
week or two. So, I'll show up late at night at
a residence hall, wearing blue jeans and an
Oglethorpe T-shirt and carrying a dozen pizzas,
just to talk to students.
One Saturday night, before my family moved
to town, I ran into a university alumnus at a
local Waffle House. I was wearing, of course,
my OU soccer T-shirt and that started a
conversation about what I did at the
university. I had been on the job all of a
week, so I'll admit I didn't know much yet, but
it took me close to an hour to convince that
young man I was the new president. I guess I
might do a better job acting presidential at
least some of the time.
Here's my last two cents' worth. I read an
article in this newspaper tonight (that's what
prompted me to write this at 11 p.m.) about the
demand for presidents with a ton of development
experience. I was not a development guy, and
despite spending a substantial amount of my
time now doing fund raising -- because we are a
remarkable, poorly endowed, tuition-dependent
liberal-arts college -- I would never encourage
a search committee to narrow the pool to
experienced fund raisers.
In my experience (either 5 months or 50
years, whichever way you want to look at it),
it's all about passion, energy, and a vision.
If the job is only a job in any small way,
you'll never keep up the pace. It's simply
ridiculous, and I love it.

Here is my drive home from work on a sunny spring day - traveling down scenic Lorane highway.
It's a normal 14 minute ride condensed down to about 45 seconds.
The traffic was light, so we didn't have to stop very long, which makes it a nice video.
Don't worry, I wasn't driving at the time I shot this.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Dealing with a cancer diagnosis and treatment is without a doubt challenging. Many patients say spirituality can be a tremendous help to getting them through the ordeal.
Studies have shown that seriously ill patients who turn to faith in a higher power benefit in many ways. Prayer has been found to relieve stress and offer comfort and healing at any stage of disease.
The Pastoral Care Team at Roswell Park Cancer Institute consists of four full-time clergy members of different faiths, plus support from over 30 religious traditions in the community. They say most people tend to either revert back to a religious tradition of their youth, or look to adopt one for the first time as a way to cope with a life threatening diagnosis, and to help put what's happening to them into perspective.
"I think most people want to have some sort of resolution with their faith. They want someone to tell them that there is an afterlife, that they didn't do anything in the way they lived their life to cause what's happening to them," said Rev Cathy Dempesy, and Episcopal Minister.
"Some individuals want to talk about those existential questions: What is my purpose in life? Why is this happening to me? Suffering? Is there an afterlife? I think anybody who is told they have cancer, their immortality is right in front of them," said Dr. Beth Lenegan, Director of Pastoral Care at Roswell.
Many hospitals, like Roswell Park have clergy on staff who can meet a patient where ever they are on their spiritual journey and help guide them as they deal with issues of fear, grief, loss, regret and even anger.
Hospital chaplains provide spiritual care to all people regardless of their religious affiliation and you don't have to belong to any faith tradition to request a chaplain.

Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?
Drama, Documentary
Bees are a barometer of the health of the world, and with the current Colony Collapse Disorder, we are in a state of emergency. Once a sacred partnership, the bond between humans and bees has become a profit-driven exploitation. Here, the unsung heroes dedicated to the survival of bees are highlighted: from poets and philosophers to scientists and shamans, from political activists to biodynamic beekeepers. In 1923, he predicted that the continued practice of artificial queen bee-breeding would bring about the demise of the honeybee. Now, pesticides, herbicides, and genetically engineered plants exacerbate the problem, and the current bee crisis confirms Steiner's dire predictions.

The kitty print chrome plate is made of good quality chrome and comes in a velvet bag. The price is rather high considering that it is for one frame and not two. To some extent, I am still reeling from the cost of this item. I think it is beautiful, and you do get what you pay for, but it is on the pricey side.2 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful for you? YesNoShare this review:

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The William and Mary women's basketball team fell to Winthrop, 81-70, on Wednesday evening at Kaplan Arena. Playing in front of the Green and Gold faithful for the first time since Nov. 14, senior Janine Aldridge led the way with 19 points, five rebounds and four assists. The College cut a double-digit second half deficit down to two but was unable to complete the come from behind victory. The setback drops W&M to 2-9 on the season, while Winthrop improves to 7-6 with the win.
Sophomore Jazmen Boone poured in a career-high 17 points to go along with a team-high seven assists and six rebounds. Classmate Kyla Kerstetter netted 11 points on five made field-goals, while senior Emily Correal ripped down a team leading 13 rebounds to go along with seven points. Senior Jaclyn McKenna finished the night with nine points and eight rebounds.
For the second consecutive game, the Green and Gold got great production from its bench. Tonight's reserves tallied 42 points compared to Winthrop's 19. Furthermore, the Tribe held the upper hand in points off of turnovers (13-6), second chance points (23-21), and rebounds (57-52). The College finished the night shooting 28.4 percent (25-of-88) from the floor, while it netted 11 3-pointers on 38 attempts (28.9 percent). The 88 attempts from the field and 38 from 3-point range are new school records.
In a defensive minded opening sequence, the Eagles trudged their way to an early lead, 10-7, at the 13:43 mark of the first-half. Schaquilla Nunn's conventional 3-point play with 10:56 left in the frame extended the Winthrop advantage to 20-9.
Over the course of the next 4:38 the Tribe responded with a 13-2 run, as it tied the affair, 22-22, with 6:18 remaining in the half. Boone ignited the spark with a layup at the 10:36 juncture, while also connecting on a 3-pointer during the burst. Correal capped the charge with a free-throw, which tied the contest at 22.
The Eagles netted the night's next seven points as it extended the advantage to 29-22 at the 3:41 mark. In the waning seconds of the half, Aldridge drilled a 3-pointer from 23 feet away as the Tribe cut the deficit to three, 34-31, at intermission.
In second-half action, Winthrop pushed its margin to 44-35 just three minutes into the frame. Once again, a gritty Tribe squad answered the bell, and countered with an 11-6 spurt. Boone mounted the rally with a layup off of an assist from McKenna at the 16:24 juncture. Kerstetter's trifecta brought the Tribe to within 50-44 at the 12:59 mark. Additionally, the Brentwood, Tenn., native closed the output with a fast break lay in off the glass, which made the score 50-46 still in favor of Winthrop with 12:29 left in regulation.
Samiya Wright's free-throw at the 10:02 mark gave the Eagles a 10-point cushion, 59-49. As it had done all game, the Green and Gold clawed its way back into the contest, this time a 13-5 run propelled W&M to within 64-62 with 6:30 remaining in the game. During the stretch, Aldridge netted six points on two 3-pointers, while McKenna scored the additional seven. However, Winthrop utilized a 10-2 run over the 4:08 as it distanced itself en route to the win.
Dequesha McClanahan led the Eagles with 14 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. Diana Choibekova added 19 points, while Aliyah Kilpatrick chipped in with 15. For the night, Winthrop shot 32-of-72 (44.4 percent) from the field and 10-of-29 (58.3 percent) from 3-point territory.
The Tribe returns to action on Sunday, Jan. 2, as it travels to Hofstra for its Colonial Athletic Association opener. Tip-off from Hempstead, N.Y., is slated for 2 p.m. and fans can follow the action online at TribeAthletics.com with live stats.

Armie Hammer just loves sharing TMI.
The "Long Ranger" star spreads the July issue of Elle magazine where he opens up about his crazy dating history and his current marriage with model/TV journalist, Elizabeth Chambers.
When the 26-year-old was still trying to break into the industry, he had a few wild (and dangerous!) Hollywood-esque relationships along the way.
"One chick tried to stab me when we were having sex," the actor reveals. "I should so not be telling this story. She was like, 'True love leaves scars. You don't have any.' And then she tried to stab me with a butcher knife. Of course I promptly broke up with her ... seven months later."
But luckily for Armie, he was able to land and lock down his "soul mate," Elizabeth ... who was in another relationship at the time he was pursuing her!
So what convinced Chambers to leave her current boyfriend for Hammer? This incredibly romantic speech:
"I was like, 'You have to break up with your boyfriend because we have to start dating.' Her mouth kind of fell open. I said, 'You were made for me,' and she got this look on her face like" -- 'Don't you even,'"Armie explains.
"I was like, 'Wait, wait! And I was made for you. We were made to be together. So we can do this 30 years from now, when I've gotten married a couple of times and you've gotten married a couple of times, or we can start now and end up 60 years from now sitting on a porch in rocking chairs, talking about how good an adventure the whole thing was.'"
Talk about the whole package -- romantic, sexy, smart and talented. We would have done the same thing as Elizabeth, say "I do."

GOUVERNEUR Dont let the name of the Gouverneur Business Women Breast Cancer Walk hold you back from applying for financial support from the organization if you live in Jefferson County.
The group is encouraging more residents outside of the village and St. Lawrence County to contribute to the fund or apply for assistance to help get through breast cancer struggles.
We are finding people will say, I didnt know you existed, said Terry A. Pistolesi, a board member. We can cover their living expenses if necessary, transportation, child care while in treatment, medical expenses, medications and car payments. Its not the same for every individual.
The group shelled out more than $70,000 this year alone, which was made possible by the walk held this spring in the village, and by many pre-fundraisers and donations from throughout the north country. About $35,000 was divided among 25 women in St. Lawrence County. Five people in Lewis County and 20 in Jefferson County also received assistance this year.
Mrs. Pistolesi said she wants to see all numbers increase, especially for Jefferson County.
Were having a difficult time breaking into Jefferson County, she said.
She said the board also would like to see more fundraisers and donations come from Jefferson County. All funds raised in the north country stay in the north country, Mrs. Pistolesi said, to help local men and women who are going through breast cancer treatment.
Edwards resident Melissa L. Brown is one of the recipients. On July 13, 2012, she received the news that she had breast cancer. Two weeks later, she flew to Philadelphia, Pa., to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, for a mastectomy. Against doctors orders she flew home the next day to be with a family member.
The very next day I was parked in my recliner like an old lady, and Im only 44, said Miss Brown, a nurse at Edwards-Knox Central School, Russell. I felt like the world was coming to an end.
Then, there was a knock on her door. Too weak to get up, she said, Come in, and in walked a representative from the Gouverneur Business Women Breast Cancer Walk. Mrs. Brown said that day, a lot of weight was lifted from her shoulders.
While Miss Brown said she couldnt recall the womans name, she said shell never forget the gifts and love with which she was showered. The woman came with a goodie bag full of support items, such as two heart-shaped pillows to place under each armpit to provide comfort near the chest after surgery. Also included was Miss Browns first financial assistance of $250.
While I thought that was nice and sweet, I was beside myself, she said. That began a series of help.
She said she lost count of the money the group gave her, which went toward her lifes necessities, including helping to pay for medication co-pays, fuel and utility bills.
She said she is now cancer-free. She said she stopped submitting reimbursement items to the group in January.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Pistolesi said, it is community organizations and businesses such as the Jefferson County Quilters Association and Mane Street Salon that raise funds that then are distributed among residents of Jefferson, Lewis or St. Lawrence counties who have battled breast cancer.
As important as research is, when someone is fighting for their life, we try to take that burden away from them, she said.
People who would like to apply for some of the groups funds, or contribute to the cause, can call Mrs. Pistolesi at 287-7639, or visit www.gouverneurbreastcancerwalk.com.

Cine Las Americas: ACORAZADO
|Álvaro Curiel
|Marius Biegai, Camille Natta, Salvador Sánchez
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
In the port city of Veracruz, Mexico, Silverio (Silverio Palacios) spends his time writing politically charged speeches and delivering them in city buses. He hangs out with his fellow harbor workers, who continue their Union struggle against the privatization of the port that left them all unemployed; and with his friend La Manuela (Terry Holiday), a transsexual who deals pirated CDs.
ACORAZADO, which translates to English as "Battleship," pays homage to low budget Mexican comedies of the '60s and '70s, yet offers a contemporary twist on the politics and consequences of migration. By any means, this is not another film about Mexican migrants coming to the United States, but a sardonic view on the political theater that influences the lives of millions of people and the real reasons why some people end up deciding to seek a better life in another country.
By situating the film in the port of Veracruz, writer-director Álvaro Curiel is able to land his characters in a realistic environment (that of the unemployed members of the harbor union who for decades were kings of the port, until the Mexican government privatized it in the early 90s), and portraits the idiosyncrasies of the region to great comical effect.
Right when it seems like ACORAZADO is going to be a straight forward story of a Mexican migrant heading north, a twist in the story opens vast possibilities for political and social commentary, and ACORAZADO exposes the virtues and flaws not only of its characters, but of the ideologies that define entire countries and regions, all in the company of a great soundtrack that keeps the pace flowing along with the laughs.
Tickets are $10 for General Admission / $8 for Members. Go HERE for more information.

I mounted this on a BMW R1200GS motorcycle and am using it with a radar detector.

During an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe program on Tuesday, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (photo) revealed that he would now support legislation that provided a "path for citizenship" for illegal immigrants.
During the interview, which coincided with the release of Immigration Wars, the book Bush coauthored with Clint Bolick, Bush said he favors a "path to legalization."
Morning Joe's co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Bush about a statement e-mailed by an unnamed Romney advisor to the Miami Herald: "Where the hell was Jeb Bush during the [Romney] campaign? … He spent all this time criticizing Romney and it turns out he has basically the same position. So he wants people to go back to their country and apply for citizenship? Well that's self deportation. We got creamed for talking about that. And now Jeb is saying the same thing."
Bush bristled and claimed that the book proposed six points of immigration reform that are different from what was advocated by either candidate in last year's presidential election. Bush said that in the book, he and Bolick proposed "a path to legalization."
"What's the difference between a path to legalization and a path to citizenship?" asked Scarborough.
Bush replied: "The principal difference … the principle underlying what we've proposed is that if you don't have a difference between a path to citizenship or a path to legalization, you're going to create a magnet going forward for more illegal…"
Scarborough interjected: "You're going to repeat what happened in today's … Reagan amnesty."
Bush continued: So going forward — we wrote this last year — going forward if there is a difference, if you can craft that in law where you can have a path to citizenship where there isn't an incentive for people to come illegally I'm for it. I don't have a problem with that."

Fishing is Fun With Family and Friends
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Bynum Run Pond Fishing Rodeo
What I like about the fishing tournaments are, that we can have fun with our families. We have memories of fun times when we catch all the fish. I love catching big fish like Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, catfish, Bluegills and more.
When the days are slow with catching fish and we don't really catch anything, we go and catch the little fish at a pond my Dad knows, just so we can have fun. My Dad helps us out with teaching us how to catch the really big fish, and helps my brother and I know what bait to use. My Mom like to cheer us on and take pictures.
I like the different ponds we go to for the tournaments because we catch a different variety of fish. I like the prizes they have too, sometimes we win, and sometimes we loose, but it does not really matter because I have fun fishing with my friends and my family.

UPDATE: According to multiple reports, Steve Valliquette will be in net tonight as Henrik Lundqvist gets some rest. Aaron Voros is also a scratch and it appears that rookie Mike DelZotto will be staying with the big club, according to a report from Steve Zipay of Newsday.
7 PM, Madison Square Garden
Rangers Record: 7 - 1 - 0
Sharks Record: 4 - 3 - 1
What a difference a trade makes.
During the summer, it appeared by all accounts that former Ottawa Senator Dany Heatley would be a Ranger by training camp following his offseason trade request.
The Rangers freed the necessary cap space by sending center Scott Gomez to Montreal for the lesser-expensive Chris Higgins and seemed poised to bring in the maligned winger. However, the deal broke down late and the Rangers went out and signed the oft-injured Marian Gaborik.
Heatley was eventually sent to San Jose and the rest is history.
The move (or lack thereof) has turned into a blessing of sorts. The Rangers are atop the NHL standings while San Jose is teetering in the eighth spot in the West.
Gaborik is averaging greater than a point-per-game and commanding the power play. Heatley has been streaky thus far, though putting up good numbers alongside center Joe Thorton.
Perhaps the most perplexing part of the Sharks season has been the teams they've lost to. An opening night loss to the surprise Colorado Avalanche, another loss in Los Angeles, then back-to-back losses against Phoenix and Washington.
Not shabby teams by record, but teams that the Sharks were expected to defeat.
San Jose, by all accounts, has a top-notch roster that should match up with the top teams in the league. Yet, they have not found their groove with their bottom six forwards hence the inconsistent results.
Aside from Heatley and Thorton, Patrick Marleau and Devin Setagouchi have contributed early.
The Sharks also sport a potent defense led by Dan Boyle, who has one goal and six assists on the season. Veteran Rob Blake has a goal and two assists, but has struggled on the defensive side of the puck as a -3.
A bright spot for the Sharks on the blueline has been with youngster Jason Demers. Demers has collected three assists and is a +3 on the season.
For the Rangers, they are riding a seven game winning streak, with the most recent victories coming against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Los Angeles Kings.
While 14 points is a number that any Ranger can be happy with, the last couple games haven't been of first-place caliber. The team has looked laggard at points and lost many of the loose puck battles that made them successful early on.
So Head Coach John Tortorella has made some tweaks. Snake-bitten Chris Higgins will move to the third line with Artem Anisimov and Ales Kotalik while Sean Avery will skate with Chris Drury and and Ryan Callahan.
The move should provide an interesting look for both players. Avery will not be the focus on the second line so he should be able to create some more offensive opportunities.
Higgins will also face a different caliber player on the third line, so he equally should have some more time to make a play and create the offense he has been missing thus far in the season.
Consider also, the Rangers have had an abundance of scoring so Higgins' role is as important defensively as it is offensively. To that point he has been successful.
On the defensive end, tonight is Mike DelZotto's ninth game, the last game he can play without his first year counting against his professional contract. At this point, it would be a shock if he were returned.
Overall, the Rangers defense has been sharp, including the play of Wade Redden. While their coverage in the defensive zone isn't quite together, their breakout and transition game is much more fluid than in the recent past.
A team like San Jose, however, could force a lot of pressure in the Rangers end and this season, that has resulted in some scrambling and loss of positioning.
The scrambling has also resulted in several penalties. The Rangers have killed penalties well, but taken some questionable ones at inopportune times. Against the better times, this will catch up with them.
On the power play, the Rangers continue to tally which is an impressive change from last season. However, there are spurts where the "pretty play" is forced over the shot and drive to the net.
Tortorella has done a terrific job in getting players to the net on the power play, at points all three forward will be between the goal line and crease.
Henrik Lundqvist, who has shined in the last two games, will likely get the start tonight.
Stay tuned on Twitter for in-game updates...

Is Debt Consolidation Right for You?
How Does Debt Consolidation Work?
Debt consolidation could extend the due dates of several loans. If you are stuck in trying to pay your outstanding debts, you are able to consolidate all of them into one new loan with a new due date. This would give you ample time to pay off the debts.
Several debts with varying interest rates are merged into a single debt with a significantly lower interest rate. Continuing with repayment arrears can cause havoc in your budget due to the lack of cash flow at critical times. As we continue to repay the debt, we find that the majority of our payments only cover the compound interest.
Seeking out an expert home loan brokermortgage broker is the most efficient way to research debt consolidation. A professional mortgage broker will be able to guide you through the process and advise on many of the pro's and con's of debt consolidation.
Discover Stress-Free Finances
Undoubtedly, debt consolidation will make financial planning much less of a headache. Forget about all the different kinds of debt and pay a single monthly consolidated payment with debt consolidation.
Paying numerous monthly repayments at various intervals is quite a cumbersome task. Debt consolidation will help to eradicate this problem. A judicial declaration of bankruptcy should be entertained as the last resort to relieve yourself of your unsecured loans.
A consolidated debt can help the applicant out of financial trouble temporarily. This is surely the last option before you could declare bankruptcy. Combining multiple payments into one consolidated payment will ensure that a consumer reduce his or her debt stress. This would help to preserve their credit background and avoid bankruptcy.
Understanding Your Debt Consolidation Responsibilities
Even though you may have heard a lot about debt consolidation, you need to definitely understand how it works in getting debt relief. Numerous finance companies will offer debt consolidation loans to beleaguered debtors. It makes debt payment much easier for the debtor.
Not only will you have one loan repayment to worry about, this loan repayment scheme will hopefully have a much lower interest rate than what you've been paying. The maturity period would be renewed, and the due date of the individual loans could be effectively extended.
A financial company will ask for a mortgage from the person who is in debt. This should be a form of security over assets to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the new loan. Most debt consolidations (but not all) are achieved through what is known as the refinance home loan process. This is where you collectively include any outstanding debts into the one loan.
Having to constantly manage large debts from multiple creditors can be eliminated due to debt consolidation. It combines all the debts into one debt management program. It will help waive off all of those late fees on your loans and potentially provide lower interest rates. Additionally any accrued interest and penalties also could potentially be eliminated for good.
You will only have to pay the consolidation company every month instead of various creditors. The consolidation company will pay all your individual creditors on behalf of you. This will lessen the occurrence of late payments in paying your loans.
Having said that, it's vital that the plan you work out with the debt management company is one that you can financially manage. Simply because it doesn't take Einstein to work out that this type of debt management plan is probably the last step to bankruptcy.
If You Mess Up On This One, You're Probably A Gonner
Debt consolidation loans will offer financial relief; help you avoid drastic financial actions like bankruptcy, poor credit ratings, lost assets and away from cash loans for people on centrelink type lenders But how do you choose the best debt consolidation company from all the numerous companies out there?
There are so many financial institutions dealing with debt consolidation, but not all of them are created equal. There are some unscrupulous elements that would prey on the innocent customer. Hence, it is highly advisable to perform extensive research before signing up with any program. Do not agree to anything unless you are 100% satisfied and comfortable with the debt consolidation company.
Seeking out a reputable mortgage broker can be the most effective method of debt consolidation and to ensure you get honest advice.
Also, any good mortgage broker worth their salt will also show you rapid mortgage reduction strategies that will help you reduce your debt that much faster.
There Are Other Options
There are numerous instances of free debt counselling programs available for people who are looking for debt advice. You just need to Google "free debt advice" for this information.
Consolidating a debt will not directly lower your credit score. Your credit score is only lowered when you miss a payment altogether or pay less. Once a debt is consolidated, you pay the full debt to the creditor. There are no questions of debt reduction unlike bankruptcy and debt settlement. Hence, consolidation will never deliver a direct blow to your credit ratings.
When you are making all repayments on time and not creating new debt, your credit score will be constant and not affected in any way. But when, with good conduct, you pay the problematic debt with one loan, you will definitely improve your credit ratings over time.
Don't Be A Debt Sucker
You need to be extremely careful to not take on any new debt once your loan consolidation is in place. Once the multiple payments have been consolidated into one payment, there is that feeling of freedom and a tendency to go for another loan. This should be avoided altogether unless it is extremely essential. It would be wise at this stage to definitely avoid centrelink loans type lenders. This would be extreme stupidity as your debt pile will climb high, and bankruptcy would be inevitable.
Loan consolidation should be used as a simple solution which would combine multiple bills. This would no doubt provide two key benefits such as more effective debt management alternatives and lower interest rates for the amounts that you owe. The importance of debt consolidation is to free you from debt, not allow you to accumulate more debt.
Be Determined To Have A Better Quality Of Life
Your ticket to sovereignty from bad debt is debt consolidation. It will certainly not be an immediate answer to your problems. Once your debts are combined with a loan, you are still committed to your debt consolidation lender. Consolidation is never going to erase all your debts at once. It is considered a simple method of debt repayment in order to loosen up the load for you and provide a much simpler method of handling your financial life.
The aforementioned is a comprehensive overview of debt consolidation. It is surely one of the best ways to manage your various debts from one repayment. Debt consolidation is surely one of the best options to get rid of debt completely in the long run. It will help you to maintain peace of mind at all times.
